Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like the French open with Novak

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Djokovic is the Manning Breeze Brady trio that we see

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: riding off into the sunset, where like Brady stuck around

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: for a while longer than Manning and Breeze did, And

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: it's going to be that way with Novak Djokovic. We'll

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: see if he gets it done today. Isaac Low and

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: Harmon isn't here this morning and he and I will

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: talk tennis, we will we do. There won't be a

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: lot of tennis talk today, buck No, unless something crazy

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: happens on the clay. We'll rely at Isaac at the

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: newsdesk to Philliston on what's going on. Okay, so we're

19
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: not go pay attention to it, No, just like we

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: didn't really want to pay attention to the Nuggets, and

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: we have to because they are a game away from

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: the NBA NBA title up three to one on the

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: Miami Heat. And for those that are wondering, yet, no

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: game tonight, so there's no weekend game. Got to spread

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: it out. You have to because if you were to

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: go to seven games, you would want to fall on

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: a Sunday and you have to have the maximum rest

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: that you can get within that two two and a

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: half week window. So that's why we got a quick

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: quick turnaround between Game three and four. But the scene

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: shifts back to Denver from Monday night. So now you've

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: got the Nuggets with an ability to close out the

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Miami Heat on Monday. I'm not a big prediction guy.

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: We'll give our predictions at the end of the show,

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: but I will also ask you a prediction. Now. Do

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: you think this Bad Boy is over? Do you think

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: that the NBA Finals is a rap? It's just a

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: matter of going through the motions, whether it be the

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: next forty eight minutes or maybe a game or two.

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Do you think it is a wrap for the Denver

41
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: Nuggets that they are going to be the NBAH champions.

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's a rep I don't think

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: it's a wrap. I think this is one that can

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: be extended. For all the praise that we can lavish

45
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: on the Denver Nuggets, and deservedly so.

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: They played great.

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: They have two of the best players in the world,

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: and Jamal Murray and Joker, they get it done. It's

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: been their role players who played really at a high level,

50
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon, Chris Brown, Ruce Brown.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: Like they've they've gotten great contributions.

52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: The Miami Heat haven't shot will and the thing that

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: can always be their saving grace is whether they knock

54
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: down the three ball. And so at some point in

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: this series, we're going to see a game where they

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 3: hit fifteen to seventeen threes. That's kind of been their

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: trend throughout the postseason. And if they hit fifteen to

58
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: seventeen threes, they're gonna go back to Miami. And so

59
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: what they're opening on and I think a lot of

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: people are putting a lot on Jimmy Butler and expecting

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler to be like Joker, but that's not as

62
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 3: normal MO. They need their other players to knock down

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: three point shots because if they knock him down from distance.

64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: That will be the way that they can have an

65
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: opportunity exis into series. It's funny, It's not that I've

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: been on a roller coaster with Jimmy Butler. I just

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: I felt that the hype of Jimmy Butler throughout this playoff,

68
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy buckets, yes, himmy, all of that, him and you know,

69
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, that it's been a little overblown. Like I

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: think like it's been a little too much. I felt

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: like we were fast tracking Jimmy Butler to the top.

72
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: In his defense, Well, he hasn't been the Jimmy Butler

73
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: of the three steals in the final, you know, in

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter or you know whatever it was against

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, those amazing shots he locked forty five

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: minutes in Game four, still scored twenty five points. Like

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: there's he's doing what he can do and at some

78
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: point Water finds its level. And I think that's what

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: you're getting with the Miami Heat right now. Like there's

80
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: a reason. There's a reason they were the seventh seed

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: entering the playing tournament and then ended up getting the

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: eighth seed. And you take away Tyler Hero, which is

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: a big loss and somehow there able to navigate it,

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: and maybe their playoff runs is more about the Celtics,

85
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: Knicks and Bucks than anything. It's it's I think it's

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: a rap because even if if Denver has a collapse

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: like we maybe have seen at a time or two

88
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: in these playoffs, I just don't think. I don't think

89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: that it's going to happen three times in this series.

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: And I think that there will be a Miami heat

91
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: We are an eight seed sort of game in the

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: next three. So I do think that it's an absolute

93
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: wrap for Denver. I don't know if it happens Monday,

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: very likely could in front of long crowd, could be

95
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: ready to go. But we've seen the Heat fare very

96
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: well in games where their backs are against the wall

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: and have been able to respond. Game sevens have been great.

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: But I do think that this finals is a is

99
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: a foregone conclusion that Denver's gonna win the NBA title,

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: And you may be right.

101
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: And this series kind of reminds me of a quote

102
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: my son used to always go as Kevin Durantquoley talk

103
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: about harvork beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. And

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: I think the indictment on the previous series Milwaukee Bucks

105
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: and the Boston Celtics, respectively, was that you had talented teams,

106
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: but they didn't They weren't necessarily worker bees like the

107
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: Miami Heat. And because they allowed the Miami Heat to

108
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 3: outwork them, and keep in mind, Milwaukee didn't have Giannis

109
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: for a couple of those games, and so it changed

110
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: the outcome of the series. And because they didn't do that,

111
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: they got all worked by the Miami Heat. And what

112
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: you've seen and I will think that at the end

113
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: of the series if the Nuggets, when Mike Mulong will

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: say this that the Miami Heat forced the Nuggets to

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: be the best version of themselves, meaning not only did

116
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: they have to play and display the talent that they've

117
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: always shown, but.

118
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: They had to play harder.

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: Because you've heard the constant theme from the Nugget side

120
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: discipline and effort, disciplined and effort. We've got to be

121
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: more disciplined, more detailed, got to have the effort. And

122
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: because they were able to combine the work ethic the

123
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: worker be the discipline that hard knows mentality, but the

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: talent that they have because they are a superior talented team.

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: They have better players than the Miami Heat collectively. So

126
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: now you add that we're gonna play all the way

127
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: to the end. We go hustle, we can win the

128
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty balls. That has been why they wont

129
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: And the only way that the Miami Heat really can

130
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: snatch the Nuggets down is if the Nuggets helped them

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: like the other teams help them turning the ball over,

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: not hustling, kind of being lazy in corners and allowing

133
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: the Heat to do it. If they don't do it,

134
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: it's gonna be very difficult for the Miami Heat to

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: navigate it.

136
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I've given Denver their flowers in the

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: first seven eight minutes of the show. I feel like

138
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: I've done that. I think that they're gonna win the

139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: NBA title. The party is over, Bucky Brooks, because I've

140
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: got something to say about these NBA finals, And I

141
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: want Ethan, I want Mark, and I want Isaac, and

142
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: I want all of you to listen up. If and

143
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: when the Denver Nuggets win this NBA title, it will

144
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: be the absolute no doubt. Numbers back it up, stats

145
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: prove it the easiest path to an NBA title. We

146
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: have ever seen, it is it is not even close

147
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: for what we have in a path to an NBA title.

148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: And so when we look at what was accomplished by

149
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: Denver when they ultimately do win this series, because I

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: do think it is over. This is my way of

151
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: making no one happy. I've counted out the heat and

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: now I'm raining on the parade of the Denver Nuggets.

153
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: When you look at the rutten that the Denver Nuggets

154
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: have made to the NBA Finals and likely the Larry

155
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: O'Brien trophy hoisting at some point, the numbers prove it

156
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: out is it is the easiest run that you have

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: ever seen to an NBA championship. If you were to

158
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: play Bucky Okay, the lowest possible seed in every single

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: round of the NBA playoffs, the meaning the higher the number,

160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: the easier the road is. The highest number seed wise

161
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: that you could get is twenty nine. You could be

162
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: a two or three seed. You would play a six

163
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: or seven in the first round, and then you'd play

164
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: a six or seven in the second round. The eight

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: seed would upset everyone and make it to the conference finals,

166
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: and then you would get another eight seed coming over

167
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: from the other side. Of the bracket. Twenty nine is

168
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: the most that you would get. Six plus seven is thirteen,

169
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: plus eight is twenty one, plus eight is twenty nine.

170
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: The Denver Nuggets seed total is twenty seven. Only the

171
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns winning their series as a four seed. Remember

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Denver beat Minnesota in five games as an eight seed.

173
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: Phoenix was a four seed, the Lakers were a seven seed,

174
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: and now you face the Miami Heat as an eight seed.

175
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: The absolute easiest route to an NBA title that we

176
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: have ever seen is being done by the Denver Nuggets

177
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: the San Antonio Spurs in nineteen ninety nine when they

178
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: faced when they faced the eight seed of New York

179
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, their total was twenty two.

180
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: So it's not even close. It's set even close to

181
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: the twenty seven of the Denver Nuggets Golden State last year.

182
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: If you added up the seeds of their opponents on

183
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 2: their way to the title, it was fourteen. Denver played

184
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: two eight seeds, a seven seed, and a four seed

185
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: to win an NBA title. It will be the easiest

186
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: road to the NBA Championship we have ever seen. Go

187
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: to your phones, log into your computers. You are not

188
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: going to see any easier route than the Denver Nuggets,

189
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: so had to an NBA title.

190
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 3: So the Nuggets are to blame for the lower seeds

191
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: in the rounds preceding them winning, and they are to

192
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: be blamed and so on their ring. I guess you

193
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: want to put a big asterisk that it wasn't deserved,

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: that they don't deserve full credit for that.

195
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: Think of, like ever, everything that had to go their way.

196
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of tennis and Tom Brady, tom

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Brady is at the French Open apparently, so there's that

198
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: to pass along. I am not blaming the Denver Nuggets,

199
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: but facts are facts, Bucky, that this road that Denver

200
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: has had has had very little resistance. So when we're

201
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: talking about NBA championships and we point the things out,

202
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: all this guy got hurt, that guy got hurt. Whatever. Yeah,

203
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: they went through Duranton Lebron. But is Lebron Lebron.

204
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: About all time great, the all time leading scorer. Some

205
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: are calling him the goat.

206
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we are, and we're going to dismiss, Yes,

207
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: we dismiss Lebron. Absolutely, we are. We absolutely they were.

208
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: They were a seven seed in these playoffs.

209
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: But everyone were saying they were hot, they got hot

210
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: knocked off the Warriors.

211
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think Denver would have swept

212
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 2: Golden State. I don't know if they would sweat I

213
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: don't think I don't think so either. I think it

214
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: would have been tougher series. Memphis had their own issues.

215
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: That's another whole conversation. Curious what would have happened with Sacramento.

216
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: But when you're talking about everything, but we're talking about

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: and and you could have taken you know, three or

218
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: four teams from the East and maybe have had a

219
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: better performance in the NBA Finals.

220
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: Light like from the m v P, the so called

221
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 3: m v P, Joe Embiid, the so called MVP.

222
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: Who won the award somehow.

223
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: But now that we see Joker on the biggest stage,

224
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: we understand how crazy it was to not give him

225
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: the mv.

226
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: This is and this is this is all I'm saying.

227
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: I think that Djokovic has been great, and excuse me

228
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: watching Djokovic. Nikola Jokic has been great. Oh it's gonna

229
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: be a tough morning. Yes, has been great, and Jamal

230
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: Murray has been great. But we've seen what happens with

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: teams when you only have two players and Denver gets

232
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: production from you know, you mentioned Bruce Brown game four,

233
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: it was nice and Aaron Gordan's been Salo had a

234
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: great fourth quarter, but he's been solid throughout. Christian Brown

235
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: with the performance in Game three, like Michael Porter Junior,

236
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: one of things that's been talked about, has not been

237
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: good at all these NBA Finals. They've been able to

238
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: navigate that. I just think that Denver, the duo of

239
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: Jokichen Murray is not good enough where they carry an

240
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: NBA title. You have to have a fuller team. And

241
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: the reason they're going to win the NBA title is

242
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: because this this path has been so easy. It has

243
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: been an easy path for Denver and the Nuggets. Seed

244
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: matchups bear it up. They've had to play a four seed,

245
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: a seventh seed, and two eight seeds on their way

246
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: to an NBA title. Maybe fortunate, but there's you cannot

247
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: argue it's the easiest road that we've ever seen. A

248
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: team that's now went away and likely will get it.

249
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: It's winning an MBA title. Sorry, Denver, It's true. It's

250
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: it's you can't. You can't back man.

251
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: Someone just woke up on the wrong side of where

252
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: won't give credit to anybody.

253
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: You poet total he fans. Why even tune in tomorrow night?

254
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: It's over.

255
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I told you.

256
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: Mad, Now nobody likes me. That's like you give the

257
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: backhanded compliments. You say, yeah, but I said this nice

258
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: about your team. Nobody hears it. But it is true

259
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: about the Denver Nuggets. It will be looked upon and

260
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: looked back when they win the NBA title. Is the

261
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: easiest road to an NBA title that we've ever had

262
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: in history, and their path to the finals represents it.

00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: letting go of Dalvin Cook? Some people have tried, but

270

274
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: right now? Actually, let's get a let's get get a

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: look at this.

276
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: So it's like, you can't judge me now because I

277
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: picked up a couple guys just so I could see

278
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: the tweets later. The quest so I'm still under I'm

279
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: at probably one twenty five now, but some are some

280
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: of that is just there reminders.

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: I had it for a long time.

282
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: It was at one seventeen after you and I had

283
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: to do that perch, and you know, had a lot

284
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: of coworkers who were not I heard about this, who

285
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: not happy with me because of your antics.

286
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: Well, when Bucky and I got together a couple of

287
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: years ago, he had about you were like had one

288
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: twenty or one thirty, and I'm like, why not just

289
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: get down to one hundred, Like you don't follow me.

290
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: I don't take it personal. I hold it against you,

291
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: but I don't a lot of people upset it. A

292
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: lot of coworker are mad that I didn't follow it.

293
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: So the quest was to get Bucky under one hundred.

294
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: But like he wouldn't unfollow the Miami Heat, which was

295
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: really really really weird. Is my team? Yeah, I know,

296
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: but it's a team. It's run by you know, some

297
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty something social media. Yeah, that's that's my squad. And

298
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: I think now you can see can't hitch the Hamlet

299
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: and Ti Cats of the CFL. You can't do that.

300
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: You can see how I headed the curve. I was

301
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: when it come to when it came to my.

302
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: Foendo, Uh, one twenty five is the number that bucket

303
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: is at. But we tried to get him down to

304
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: one hundred. So then he started, Oh, I don't know

305
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: if one hundred was ever the number. We were just

306
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: trying to get it under one twenty one. That's a

307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: lot man, super skinned. I know the timeline, but I

308
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't see anything. But but a coworker of his found

309
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: out that he didn't follow them anymore. It was not good,

310
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: But it was all because that it was not good.

311
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: It was it created a little bit of a contract,

312
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: had an All Star game. A Yeah, I was ostracized. Ah,

313
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: they'll get over, They're fine with it. Find me on

314
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Twitter at Dan Byer on Fox and for dismantling the

315
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: Nuggets run to the title you can throw your hate

316
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: there and of just saying the Heat are who we

317
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: thought they were, you can put your venom at Dan

318
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: Byer on Fox there, all right. The story of Dalvin

319
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: Cook has been such an interesting story this offseason. I

320
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: think because we figured we knew how it was going

321
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: to play out. It was gonna end up that Dalvin

322
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: Cook was not going to be a member of the

323
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings heading into the twenty twenty three season. We

324
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: just didn't know what path it was going to take,

325
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: whether it be trade or by via release. So a

326
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: trade unable to be worked out, reports a Broncos and

327
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: Dolphins were interested. I don't know if you want to

328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: throw any more teams in there, but those were the

329
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: two prominent teams that we had heard that were interested

330
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: in maybe acquiring Cook. In the end, he is not traded.

331
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: He is released again, one of the options that we

332
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: thought was definitely a possibility with Dalvin Cook. And then

333
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: once Dalvin Cook is released, we hear, man, what is

334
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: happening with the NFL where a guy like Dalvin Cook

335
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: cannot stick around for a team and he's just twenty

336
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: seven years old. And I find that a bunch of

337
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: maloney like Dalvin Cook has been injured his entire career.

338
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: And it doesn't mean to say that he's only played

339
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: three or four games. That's not it. It's Dalvin Cook

340
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 2: would play thirteen or fourteen games. He was hurt at

341
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: Florida State. Last year was I think really the only

342
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: year that he wasn't hurt, and I still think he

343
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: played through things. So there's six years in Minnesota, six

344
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: very good and productive years, third all time leading rusher

345
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: in Vikings history, now going to be a free agent,

346
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: and people are up in arms over the running back

347
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: position in the National Football League. I find that silly. Look.

348
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's funny, like the running

349
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: back position. I've long been a defender of running backs,

350
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: that's it. My philosophy is shaped by the fact that

351
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: when I was with the Carolina Panthers, John Fox and others,

352
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: we would talk about it. And this comes from an

353
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: old Jimmy Johnson thing. Draft a great running back high,

354
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: ride him to the wheels fall off, and then the

355
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: year before his deal ends, draft another running back high,

356
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: and say adios to the good one. There's a short

357
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: shelf lif for running backs. And so when you think

358
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: about Dalvin Cook at twenty eight. Yes, he's had like

359
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: a thousand yards the last four seasons.

360
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: He's coming off the.

361
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: Season where he was healthy, I think for the first

362
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: time he played all the games on the on the schedule.

363
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: But he's twenty eight m you're talking about like he

364
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: was going to be eleven million dollars, fourteen million dollars.

365
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 2: At some point you want to move on.

366
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: And when you look at the market now, I think

367
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: the most money paid to a free agent running back

368
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: was six point three million to Miles Sanders. And so

369
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook is not going to get the money that

370
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: he's hoping on. Like now, he's playing for opportunity to

371
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: win a ring and legacy and those things, just like

372
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: is he Elliott is finding out the money's not there

373
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: for running back. It's unfortunate, but it's not there. And

374
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: so unless you are a dynamic playmaker like a Christian McCaffrey,

375
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: and even Alvin Kamara is nearing the end of his time,

376
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: when it comes to premiere running back money, you have

377
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: to be able to be more of an offensive weapon

378
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: than just your quote quote unquote running back.

379
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: I know that that Derrick Henry is kind of a

380
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: unicorn in who he is. But we like we talk

381
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: about Ezekiel Elliott, like there's there was a decline in

382
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: his game, There's no doubt about it. Not the same

383
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: back that he was Dalvin Cook. Like you can point

384
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: to the numbers. But again, like with everything that you

385
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: and I laid out of Dalvin Cook in his history

386
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 2: and what he's done, it's not worth the investment. But like,

387
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: and I know Derrick Henry's future in Tennessee was in

388
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: question at one point this offseason, at least leading up

389
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: to the draft or in the early months of this offseason,

390
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: of hey, there could be maybe something's going on with

391
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. But the fact of I think this is

392
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: a Dalvin Cook problem. That's probably a better way to

393
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: put it, Bucky, this isn't a this isn't a status

394
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: of the running back in the NFL. Because if Sakuon

395
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: Barkley performs great for the New York Giants in twenty

396
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: twenty three, like, there's going to be a reason why

397
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 2: they're going to want to sign him again or bring

398
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: him back for another year, maybe even pay more on

399
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: a franchised head. Like there's a reason that Sakuon Barkley

400
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: would stick around even with the injury history in the past.

401
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: So I think that this is a Dalvin Cook sort

402
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: of issue, and we are just trying to make Dalvin

403
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: Cook lump him in with all the running backs that

404
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: we look at. Alvin Kamara maybe is not the same

405
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara that we remember early on in his career.

406
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: Injuries could be something there as well. I'm just there.

407
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: This isn't a state of the NFL running back problem.

408
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: I think this is a state of Dalvin Cook problem,

409
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: and that's why he was released.

410
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a little bit of both. I

411
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: think it's the state of the running back problem. In

412
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: terms of when you're doing cost cutting, it's almost as

413
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: if you know what I'm saying, you at the house

414
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: and you're going through your your budget. You're trying to

415
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: figure out where, where, where can we save a little bit. Okay,

416
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: we probably don't need to go to Starbucks and have

417
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: as many lattes and those things like, we can cut sure,

418
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: we can save a little And so when you're the

419
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings and you're looking at let's call it marquee

420
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: or premium positions, well, the premium positions in football are

421
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: now quarterback, your pass rushers, your wide receivers have now

422
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: become that defensive playmaker, whether it's a cornerback or a safety.

423
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: And then you go way down the line before you

424
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: get to running back. And the only running backs that

425
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: you can kind of lump into that marquee position category

426
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: have to be guys who are running backs who act

427
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: like wide receivers. So the old Levy and Beale RB

428
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: one wide receiver too. And so for Dalvin Cook, who

429
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: is an older player, he doesn't necessarily have those abilities

430
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: where you're using him like a wide receiver. And so

431
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: if you're Kevin O'Connell, you're that Minnesota Vikings front office,

432
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 3: you're looking where you can save a few coins.

433
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: Running back is the first place that you go. And

434
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: they had a capable replacement, not the drafting of the

435
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: running back to Jimmy Madison. Well, yeah, he's filled in admirably. Gosh,

436
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: he's fine, but he's fine. But they haven't done the

437
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson. No, it doesn't take a big time when

438
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: they did not They did not do that. But Madison

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: in this time that he's filled in, when when Cook

440
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: is better.

441
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: He's I don't think he's had more than like four

442
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: hundred or five hundred yards. Like, I mean, you're the

443
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: fantasy guy, Like, well, if you won, you won games

444
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: because of Madison.

445
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: Hasn't been on my team because I haven't drafted Dell Cook.

446
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: Then I want Delvin Cook on my team because I

447
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: figured he would be interested. So because you don't take

448
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook, you can't take Madison. Just there's no reason.

449
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: There's no reason to handcuff and then there was. And

450
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: by the way, Cook Cook didn't miss, Like it wouldn't

451
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: be like ten games. It would be like Cook would

452
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: miss like a game or two and then he'd be

453
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: he'd be knocked out of the second quarter.

454
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, he missed a game or two, probably in the

455
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: fantasy playoffs.

456
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: See, it all comes back to that. It is probably

457
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: like a late seasons. There are times where I do

458
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: get jaded and I'm like, well, he's not so bad.

459
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: He scored thirty two points, and I'm like, yeah, he

460
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: threw four interceptions. He missed when you needed it. I

461
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: just I just I get I get the running back position.

462
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: I understand, I understand everything with it. But I do

463
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: think that if Dalvin Cook was healthy and UH showed

464
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: that throughout his career, I think it would be a

465
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: different story. I think that his name value, what he

466
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: would have provided if he was healthy, he would be

467
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: enough for Minnesota to be like, Yeah, he's our belcow,

468
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: he's our guy. He is the guy that we want

469
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: to give the rock to, just like Tennessee did with

470
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. And that is not That's not what happened

471
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. So it is not completely a running back position.

472
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: It's just more of a as you said, salary with Dalvin

473
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: Cook where Minnesota is and I think everybody kind of

474
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: feels that Minnesota is going to take a step back,

475
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: at least record wise from what they were a year ago.

476
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: For those calls you believe it, you're not you're not

477
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: a believer, I'm It's not that I'm not a believer,

478
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: which I, by the way, am not a believer. But

479
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you're not a swift Swift either. No,

480
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: I did not go and check out the concert, have

481
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: not at all. But I would think that a a

482
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: the ending of a Taylor Swift concert would probably be

483
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: somewhat like a Minnesota Vikings game because they always seem

484
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: to come down to the end and are very exciting

485
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: maybe there's parallels there, but other than that, I just

486
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that Minnesota when you look at when

487
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: you look at when you're gonna make your NFC North predictions,

488
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are gonna put the

489
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: Lions there, and when you're looking for a team to regress,

490
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: there's just no way statistically that the Vikings can have

491
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: that many things go their way in the regular season.

492
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: That's I mean, it's true. I think they had eleven

493
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 3: one score games, some ridiculous like where everything kind of

494
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: bounced their way, and dependent upon your feelings on Kirk Cousins,

495
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: it makes it very, very challenging and tricky to say

496
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: that they're going to go far with a quarterback who

497
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: can be up and down like him at times.

498
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, curious to see as well the addition of Jordan

499
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Addison Adam feeling no longer in Minnesota now in Carolina,

500
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: seeing how that ends up taking over. So you've got

501
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 2: some change in Minnesota offensively, but as you said, Kirk

502
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: Cousins is going to be there. Today's show is brought

508
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: is sexy? In the NFL? In twenty twenty three, Bucky

509
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: Brooks tells you an expert first, Isaac Lowan Krown at

510
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: the news desk, giving us the latest of what's happening

511
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: on this Sunday morning. What's going on? Isaac?

512
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm misinterpreted. I thought when you said how sexy

513
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: it was in natural segue, don't worry, it wasn't rude. However,

514
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: you know who is being rude right now, Casper, because

515
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: in the men's singles final at the French Open, Casper

516
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: Rude leads Novak Djokovic three games to none in the

517
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: opening set of the match. Here is the key statistic,

518
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: Dan and Bucky. The time of match so far twenty

519
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: four minutes time the TV cameras have shown the action,

520
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: seven minutes time the TV cameras have shown Tom Brady

521
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: in Novak Djokovic's box seventeen minutes. So that is your

522
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: key stat It was Brady Rerench Open final and social media,

523
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: as you can probably imagine is flipping out. Meanwhile, in

524
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Game four the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, the

525
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights one at Florida three to two, mind

526
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: a pair of goals by Chandler Stevenson, so Vegas takes

527
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: the three games to one lead and can win the

528
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: Cup on home ice on Tuesday. In Game five in

529
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball on Saturday night, the Seattle Mariners defeated

530
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: the Angels in Anaheim six to two, a four hit

531
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: game for JP Crawford Shohey O'tani his third home run

532
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: in a five game spanning now is eighteen on the season.

533
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Hendricks of the Cubs had a no hitter, going

534
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: for seven to two thirds innings until it was broken up.

535
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: They beat the Giants in San Francisco fourd to nothing.

536
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: Labor Torres and Willie Calhoun hit home runs for the

537
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: Yankees in their three to one win over the Red Sox,

538
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: and with that in mind, finally fellas a salute to

539
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: longtime Yankees broadcaster John Sterling, who continued to broadcast last

540
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: night's game against the Red Sox after being hit in

541
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: the left eyebrow with a foul ball, which he described

542
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: live on the air without missing a beat. Listen closely.

543
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: Now the three too swing on a pop fouls back here?

544
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: Wow, oh wow, oh.

545
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 4: It really hit me. I didn't know what was coming

546
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: back that far. So once again, it'll be a three

547
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 4: to two. Three too is grounded foul.

548
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: You can't predict baseball, Susan.

549
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: Do they pop fly hit me in the eye? Major?

550
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: Might we add jam Master John Sterling as I call

551
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: him eighty four years old, yet he shakes off a

552
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: foul ball to the eyebrow. Taylor Swift would be proud

553
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: of him shaking it off back to you. Oh very good, Isaac.

554
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: While Isaac did that update, they showed Tom Brady again

555
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: in Djokovic's boxes, So Isaac is not being facetious. There's

556
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: a lot of maybe the time spent, but there is

557
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: a lot of Tom Brady. There's appears to be a

558
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: mystery woman next to Tom Brady. Do you know? Can

559
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: you solve this? Let's bring Isaac back in. Who is

560
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: the mystery woman?

561
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: It's Djokovic's wife and that is the dominant story on Twitter,

562
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: including a tweet I just saw from a fan Novak

563
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Djokovic is playing like someone who has Tom Brady sitting

564
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: next to their wife.

565
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: I wonder what you're talking about. That's what he's doing.

566
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: That's why his server's off.

567
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully hopefully it's not fifteen love.

568
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, why are they're talking so much? Oh? Man, the

569
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: drama we will follow. Who decided to put Tom Brady

570
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: in the family box? I mean, who made that decision? Yeah,

571
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: they should have had name tags, like at a dinner plate,

572
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: and then they would have had at least a couple

573
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: of guys. There's some old bald guy next to her.

574
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is, but you could have

575
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: at least put him in between, and maybe Djokovic would

576
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: be honest game Casper Rude, by the way, second straight

577
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: French Open final. I meant in the Brady Breeze Manning

578
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: trio somewhat like the Djokovic Federer Nadal trio, although I

579
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: do think it is more unique in tennis. But maybe

580
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: Casper Rude ends up being Joe Burrow, or ends up

581
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: being Josh Allen or Jalen Hurtz or Lamar Jackson or

582
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: someone that can end up breaking the old guys and

583
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: making his own name. All Right, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm

584
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: Dan Byer find Isaac on Twitter at Isaac Lowenkron As

585
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: we are live from the TIREC dot com studios. I

586
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: mentioned the Miami Dolphins and Dalvin Cook. You're loving some

587
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins at least on paper. When it comes to the

588
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: Finns entering twenty twenty three.

589
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: May, they're sixty teeny. You'll see when little Dimond is big.

590
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: When you play video games, like, the first thing your

591
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: eyes go to is who's the explosive team that can

592
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: put a lot of points up on matten And then

593
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: as you take that to the field offsly, I mean

594
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: like all the firepower that they have, I mean it's

595
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: attracts tem Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle. Uh, you have two

596
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: when two is healthy and upright, not many better led

597
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: the league and passer rating, did a really good job

598
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: of pushing out. They also led the league and pass

599
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: yards per attempt. And so from an explosive standpoint, this

600
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: team has everything. And then if you don't like their offense,

601
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: what about their defense? Vic Fangio comes over, they bring

602
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: over Jalen Ramsey. You have brad Lee Chubb and emerging

603
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: Jalen Phillips, Javon Holland. Do you have a lot of

604
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: players on that Dolphins team that you like, So why

605
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: everyone heart everybody's hardest fluttering over Aaron Rodgers joining the

606
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 3: Jets and that stuff.

607
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the bully, But do they do? Then you

608
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: have to take over Buffalo's reign atop that division.

609
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: Buffalo, Like we're talking about them still, like, don't we

610
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: feel like we're coming They're coming back to the pack?

611
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: I do, Actually I agree, Yeah, they're coming back to

612
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: the pack.

613
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: So I think.

614
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: So, you know, Josh Allen is great, but i've defensively

615
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: they're really one dimensional.

616
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: They still haven't been able to run the football.

617
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: You talk about Dalvin Cook, his younger brother James Cook

618
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: is their running back there. So they're still trying to

619
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: figure that out. So they come back to the pack.

620
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: The Jets were waiting to see if they can be good.

621
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: They have been to the playoffs in like twelve years.

622
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is coming off a look, man, he wasn't

623
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: great last year. He already has gotten hurt in mini

624
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: camp with his calf. He's forty years old, Like, what

625
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: can we count on him? And then the Patriots.

626
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: People say it's the toughest division in football. Why is

627
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: it tough? What's tough about the division? The Bills being

628
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: the division CHAMPI you had the Dolphins making the playoffs,

629
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: You've now added Aaron Rodgers, and the other the only

630
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: team we haven't talked about is coached by Bill Belichick.

631
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, all those things are nice on paper.

632
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: Last year I would say, okay, that makes sense.

633
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: But to me, the tougher division would be the AFC

634
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: North because you have Joe Burrow sisty, you have Lamar

635
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: Jackson given free reign of the Baltimore Ravens offense. You

636
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: have Deshaun Watson poised to have a bounce.

637
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: Back you okay, we'll see about that, and then you

638
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: have the Pittsburgh Stealers. You're so negative today? No, no,

639
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: well that's it is true. It is so negative today.

640
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: You can negative since we came in here forty five

641
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: minutes of negativity. In an hour and twenty minutes, I

642
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: rip on the Eagles, that is true. In eighteen minutes,

643
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: we'll talk about those jet spectations in New York. That's

644
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: how I'm That's how I'm labeling it. There's there's some

645
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: negativity towards Zion Williamson and John Morant, but there is

646
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: some good news. We do have a feud coming up

647
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: in the hour, and the feud is a fun thing.

648
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: Here on Fox Sports Sunday. Get Bucky on Twitter at

649
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. You can find me on Twitter at Dan

650
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: Byer on Fox I like the Dolphins. I don't love

651
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. I do think that the pieces on defense

652
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: and Vic Fangio's addition and running that defense will obviously help.

653
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: I think that we've just completely forgotten about to his health.

654
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: That is no longer a question, and it was the

655
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 2: only question that we had through most of last season

656
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: and then into the offseason, and now as we look

657
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: ahead to the season, maybe we aren't talking about that

658
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: as much anymore, and maybe we still should be. One

659
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: thing we aren't talking about is the XFL in a

660
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: good way. I'll tell you why. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm

661
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: Dan Bayer live athetire Ac dot com Studios. That's next

662
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 2: year on Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday. He's Bucky Brooks.

663
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer talking some NFL is. There's some NFL stories,

664
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: but there's a football story that is out there. Forbes

665
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: reporting that the XFL in their first season, lost sixty

666
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: million dollars and the organization, like so many in this time,

667
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: have to cut some jobs throughout the season. But the

668
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: rock behind the XFL, his company in year one loses

669
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars. I understand the long term play of it,

670
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 2: but there is also the long history bucket of spring

671
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: football just doesn't work, and the XFL season went on.

672
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: I can tell you in a proud manner, I did

673
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 2: not watch a game. I did not watch a half,

674
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: I did not watch a quarter, I did not watch

675
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: a snap. It is not for me. I actually feel

676
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: as a completely different sport than actual college and NFL football.

677
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Just because of the timing of it. I don't know

678
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: how the XFL is going to build. I have empathy

679
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: for players who play football in college and maybe want

680
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: to extend their playing career and use their athletic ability

681
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: to make money in that way. I understand that aspect

682
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: of it, But other than that aspect, I just have

683
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: a difficult time in locking into any of these spring leagues. Therefore,

684
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: I have a difficult time I'm finding value in a

685
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: league like the XFL, So I.

686
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 3: Would say the league isn't necessarily built for the casual fan.

687
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: The league is primarily built for the gambling public because

688
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: you give them something that they can gamble on, and

689
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: so you're hoping that that is the primary driver of

690
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's.

691
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: What it is. That's what it is.

692
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, like what that is legal, legalized, like so you

693
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: have that, uh in terms of you know, is it

694
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: a good thing? Yeah, Look, it may not be profitable,

695
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: but it's a good thing because we will see innovations

696
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: come from those spring leagues. If you go all the

697
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: way back and you look at some of the things

698
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: that are now kind of staples in the National Football League,

699
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 3: they came from those alternative leagues. You think about now

700
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: when you watch a game and how you have the whatever,

701
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 3: the cam that hovers over the middle of the field

702
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: that kind of tracks everything from behind, and now we've

703
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: seen cameramen on the field behind huddles and stuff.

704
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: Those things started.

705
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 3: In all leagues and so for development, research and development

706
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 3: of the game, those leagues are great. Ideally, what you

707
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: would like to see is some kind of loose partnership

708
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 3: between the XFL and maybe even the USFL and the

709
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: National Football League because what it does provide is an

710
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: opportunity for coaches who wouldn't have an opportunity to coach.

711
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: It provides an opportunity for players to develop quarterbacks and

712
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: particularly and so there is some value to that.

713
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: It's just about how can you rectify the bottom line.

714
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: That's the issue that I have. Is I just everything

715
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: that you say there is. I can nod my head

716
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: and say that I understand. But in the end, is

717
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: it worth losing sixty million dollars over to have all

718
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: of those to have all of those things? Yes, it is?

719
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 5: It is.

720
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're if it's the long play from

721
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: the rock to find a way to eventually generate a

722
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: partnership because with any of those leagues, the National Football

723
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: League has to be a buddy. And the National Football

724
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: League also needs some of the XFL's stuff XFL and

725
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 3: USFL stuff because it provides him with players that can

726
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: compete for things at the bottom of the roster. It

727
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: would provide them what they used to have with the NFL.

728
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: Europe owners didn't fully want to pay for it.

729
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: Any issue with player health, if players are playing, I

730
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: mean we really care about that. Wow about that? You

731
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: know some guy could be logging twenty seven games in

732
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: a calendar year, playing ten ten games in the XFL and.

733
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna tell you what you tell

734
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 3: a little diamond when he falls out, You're fine, really fine,

735
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 3: all right, You're fine. Like those those tiers that are

736
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 3: well up, those are not even the real tiers. And

737
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: so for the players who are logging those games, and

738
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: it can be a ton, yeah, but they'll be fine.

739
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: Like they're chasing the dreams that they want. So that's

740
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: part of the deal. As a Seahawks fan, I got

741
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 2: to tell you this. I bought my son a little

742
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: mini helmet set like the really like the small pocket

743

Speaker 2: ones thirty Jersey. No, he's got a DK metcalf one though,

744
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: because the Russell Wilson one is not worn anymore. Of

745
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: all the thirty two teams. The helmet my son picks

746
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: first is the Rams because it's blue, like it's the

747
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: Royal Blue. As a Seahawks fan, it it hurts my heart.

753
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,000

772
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 2: for Norwegian's Casper Ruder Novak Djokovic right now again in

773
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: that match, also a little space in my heart for

774
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: hate and anger, which I usually take out on various

775
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: NBA teams. And the Heat and Nuggets were really both

776
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: in my crosshairs today. The Heat weren't good enough and

777
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 2: the Nuggets again, this is my theme for today's show.

778
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 2: I think Denver's on the verge of winning the NBA title.

779
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 2: If it doesn't happen Monday night, it's gonna happen Thursday night,

780
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: or it's going to happen Sunday in Game seven. I

781
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: truly believe that. And if and when they do, it

782
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: will be the easiest NBA title path that any team

783
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: has faced in the history of the NBA. And again

784
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: the numbers back it up. When you take the seeds

785
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: that Denver beat, not the team names, not the player

786
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 2: names that they went through. When you take the actual

787
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: seed numbers and add them up, the easiest path to

788
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 2: an NBA title would be a total of twenty nine points.

789
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: The higher the number, the easier the path. Denver's path

790
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: totals twenty seven. The Houston Rockets in nineteen ninety five

791
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: is a six seed. Bucky had the most difficult path

792
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: to an NBA title in history, beating a three seed,

793
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: a two seed, and then two number ones for a

794
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 2: total of seven points. Not even in the same stratosphere.

795
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 2: Those will be your two ends of the spectrum. You'll

796
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: have the Rockets of ninety five, toughest path ever to

797
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: an NBA title, and then the Nuggets of twenty twenty three,

798
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: easiest path to an NBA title in history. And don't

799
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 2: argue with me, argue with the numbers because you can't.

800
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: I mean, and again Bucky's gonna say, like what I mean,

801
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: what are they supposed to do? Yeah, yeah, it's not

802
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: their fault.

803
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 3: They only can play the teams that are lined up,

804
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 3: the teams that are able to advance. And because the

805
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: higher seeds didn't take care of their business, they played

806
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of lower seeds on the way to a

807
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: potential title. That's not the Nuggets fault. They shouldn't have

808
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: to apologize for who is in their path.

809
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: You know what I've had to apologize for as a

810
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 2: Bucks fan for two years. Kevin Durant shoe size of

811
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: of of Kevin Durant's shoe being told being on the

812
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 2: line of the Eastern Conference Semi Finals Game seven, you

813
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: should tell them what Patrick Wild used to tell people.

814
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: I can't hear you because of the Stanley Cup mariens

815
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 3: that are stuffed in my ears.

816
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: About Oh that was funny and like the Avalanche last year,

817
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: the Mile High City close to getting another title. We

818
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: are broadcasting live from the Tireq dot com studios. Get

Speaker 2: or for NFL dot com or maybe on the move.

823
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: The Sticks podcast that you do with Daniel Jeremiah is

824
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: the term Great Jet Spectations. And I'm getting mixed messages

825
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: from you because a known anti known anti Aaron Rodgers

826
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: person as you are.

827
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: I'm an Aaron Anti Rodgers or should I be properly

828
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: cast as a truth teller?

829
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: Hey? All right, I go to NFL dot com and

830
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: I see this article lookout world, Aaron Rodgers and Garrett

831
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 2: Wilson about to do this. They are a top top

832
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: five connection in the NFL.

833
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 3: Well, I think I was speaking specifically about Garrett Wilson

834
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 3: being a top five wide receiver. Okay, all right, he

835
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 3: was offensive rookie of the year with a collection of

836
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that you probably couldn't rattle off right now, Zach Wilson,

837
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, Mike White, and in Clint Streever. Like I mean,

838
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 3: he had over a one thousand yards with those four guys.

839
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 3: And so if you now give him a competent quarterback,

840
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 3: a quarterback who's been a four time MVP, not saying

841
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 3: that he's playing at an MVP level, but someone that

842
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: is just better than those four guys that I just mentioned. Yes,

843
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 3: he's going to be a top five player.

844
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: I remember a YouTube clip, excuse me, that just showed

845
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 2: my not my age, but a TikTok clip of Garrett

846
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: Wilson last training camp talking about how the ball is

847
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: different from Joe Flacco, like he throws it like a

848
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: pro quarterback, And that was Joe Flacco like that we

849
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 2: were talking about. We saw Joe Flacco and what he

850
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: did against the Cleveland Browns in Week two, but that

851
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: may have been just the Swan song. But you like

852
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson being a top five guy, But you don't

853
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 2: see because of Rogers. But you still think that we

854
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 2: have to temper our expectations for the Jets because of

855
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 2: Rogers half strain that he had in Ota.

856
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: Well, just because of what we've seen. We've seen him

857
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: get beat up now more than ever. And so look, man,

858
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to play football at forty and so

859
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 3: because of that, that certainly can have an impact. And

860
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: also let's see if he can play at a high

861
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: level outside of the comfy confines of Green Bay. It's

862
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: all new Nathaniel Hackett. The last time we saw called

863
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 3: plays in Denver didn't look great. And so how does

864
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 3: this offense look beyond the one on one matchups that

865
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 3: Garret Wilson can win on the outside.

866
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so does Garrett Wilson have to be DeVante Adams

867
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 2: in Green Bay? Can he be DeVante Adams in Green Bay?

868
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: I think they're very similar. Okay, he's a faster version

869
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 3: of DeVante Adams. Davanti Adams doesn't have his like flat

870
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 3: out pure speed, but in terms of route running ability,

871
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 3: playmaking ability, he certainly has things that remind you of

872
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams and what he was able to do first

873
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 3: in Green Bay and now with the Las Vegas Raiders.

874
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 3: And because Aaron Rodgers had a comfort in playing with

875
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: the receiver like that, he is going to give Gary

876
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 3: Wilson all of the things that he and DeVante Adams

877
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: worked on. And so that makes him a very scary player.

878
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying Alan Lazard is a great player,

879
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 3: but Allen Lazzant, Allen Lazzard would be properly cast as

880
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: a number two, number three in that offense to clear

881
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 3: number one playmaker in that offense would be Gary Wilson,

882
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 3: and in breeze Hall will be your second best playmaker

883
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 3: if he's healthy in those things.

884
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: And that if he's healthy. As a question, but even

885
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: if you go down to pass Lazard, you know you

886
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: brought him Mkole Hardman from Kansas City, I would say

887
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: that he would probably be an upgrade for whoever had

888
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: Green Bay had at their wide receiver three.

889
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, I mean he would be an

890
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 3: upgrade over Rand a cop who is now in New

891
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 3: York with Aaron Rodgers doing ye what he did for

892
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 3: the Backers.

893
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and listen, I'm not an Aaron Rodgers supporter, yeah, defender, Yeah,

894
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: But if you lay this out as it is and

895
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: their defense, well, their defense should be better than Green

896
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 2: Bay's last year. You expect that to be the case.

897
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: You actually expect the Jets defense to be very good. Right,

898
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: then why are we down? Then? Why is Bucky Brooks

899
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: having low Jets spectations? Is the question? Because if the

900
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: low expectations come from Jet spectations, Jets spectations, I'll have

901
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: to see if I can put that in. The jetstartations

902
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 2: are low, I think we have to question the coaching staff.

903
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: Like you got to remember, now, Nathan you Hackett came

904
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 2: over from Denver where first time head coach, he did

905
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: make it through his first season. That offense that we

906
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: saw at Denver was absolutely abysmal. Then when we think.

907
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 3: About Robert Salad and a defense, the defense has been fine.

908
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 3: But remember this is a defense that is very simplistic

909
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 3: in design, and so do they have enough tricks to

910
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 3: deal with the high powered offenses that you have to

911
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 3: contend with in the AFC? Because remember, when we're looking

912
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 3: at the AFC, it's always about the quarterbacks. Man, when

913
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: we were all left the list to quarterbacks, where does

914
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers falling at the Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen,

915
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: you have justin Herbert Lebar Jackson comes back, Trevor Lawrence

916
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 3: is emerging. I mean we didn't even talk about like

917
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: what Deshaun Watson could be, what some of these other

918
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 3: quarterbacks would be. I mean Russell Wilson, maybe he gets

919
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: up both the man.

920
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: Where's Kenny Pickett and all this? I mean Kenny Pickett,

921
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: young guy, breakout Kenny, breakout, Yeah, breakout guy. Pittsburgh never lose,

922
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: they never losed, no losing seasons. I listen, I and

923
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: the AFC is loaded. Yeah at the obviously, but you

924
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 2: just earlier in the show, and I agree with I

925
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: agree with you on the stands of the AFC East.

926
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: I think Buffalo takes a step back, but we were

927
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 2: using it in the framework of talking about the Dolphins,

928
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: Miami moving up, moving sexy. But everything that like we've

929
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 2: got here on paper with the Jets is better than

930
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 2: what Green Bay had in years when they went to

931
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game. Is it really better? I think

932
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 2: their defense is better, definitely better than it was last year.

933
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: But when if you really want to compare to what

934
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 2: it was two years ago, I think so the weapons. Okay,

935
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: breist Hall coming back from his knee injury is a question.

936
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: It's maybe not the AJ Dillon Jones.

937
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 3: Showtime in Quadzilla, they had two cable running backs. They

938
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 3: don't run the football, like that's the biggest issue, the

939
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 3: biggest issue in Green Bay. They didn't run the football.

940
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 3: They put too much on an older quarterback to win.

941
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 3: And then yet and still they got the two championship games.

942
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: They won what thirteen games and back to back seasons,

943
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: had the number more seed they were positioned to do it.

944
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 3: I can't confidently say that the Jets are better positioned

945
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: to do.

946
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: What they did. I'm not asking you to judge their

947
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 2: playoff performance because when it comes to the playoffs, who knows.

948
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: I think that's it's actually I think a flaw that

949
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: sometimes that we do a lot. Like all all I

950
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: know is I can tell you what I think is

951
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: going to happen to get them into the dance. And

952
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: I just think that the Jets are going to be

953
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: pretty good. And I hate to say this because again

954
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 2: he's not the Aaron Rodgers defender, but he does play

955
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: magnificently well when there's a chip on his shoulder.

956
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you would like to see that, like,

957
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 3: so that doesn't there's you that he's not always motivated

958
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: to play at the highest I think that.

959
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: I think that's I do think that that is a

960
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 2: that is an I think that is an issue. Like

961
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: if you were to look at it as a whole,

962
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it will be an issue. When we

963
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 2: talk about his legacy, there is a there is an

964
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: engaged Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers that is making an

965
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 2: ultimate effort. Yes, he's done more.

966
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,479
Speaker 3: Imagine how much better the packers he would have shown

967
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 3: up to the OTAs last year with the young guys.

968
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: So when you're talking about and I agree, imagine how

969
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 3: much better Christian Watson and Romeo Dobs and some other

970
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 3: guess if he was engaged. But now he's he's all in,

971
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 3: he's what he's he's paintball and he's going to swifty

972
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: concerts at everything.

973
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 2: He's all over the place.

974
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 3: Imagine if you to put the same kind of effort

975
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 3: into the young guys with the backers.

976
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 2: Don't disagree with that, but that also then tells you

977
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: that you have expectations that if Aaron Rodgers would have

978
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 2: done that for Green Bay, maybe they wouldn't have missed

979
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Maybe there wouldn't have been this.

980
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 3: Imagine, Yeah, because the imagine so you saw how well

981
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 3: Christian Watson was playing at the end of the year.

982
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 3: Imagine if they didn't have to waste those first seven

983
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 3: games getting chemistry, if they had developed some of that in.

984
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 2: The off season. Dropped the first drop one, so you

985
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 2: go back to one. He's a ricky his first game.

986
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 3: You go back like like so like so that's the

987
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 3: thing that that bothers me about it, Like he had

988
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: young guys, Christian Watson is a capable receiver.

989
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 2: We are we are on the same page, We are

990
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: on the same road. It's just you would love you

991
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: love the Jets. You want to know I don't at all.

992
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: You just want to turn into the gas station on

993
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: the right and I want to go to the one

994
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: on the left. That's what it is, and I I

995
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: just I think that there's would we lay it out

996
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: like all of that, Everything that we have talked about

997
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: sets up for the Jets to be a better team

998
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 2: and to be that team. So when we talk about

999
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: Jets spectations, I'm gonna ram into your your your psyche memories.

1000
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 2: They have to be high because of the talent, because

1001
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: of what they've got. I do think that their defense.

1002
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 2: Their defenses, you know, kept Josh Allen in check. If

1003
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: you will force turnovers, you can do that. There's questions

1004
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: about nice England. They have nice talent. They have nice talent.

1005
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 3: Sauce Garden is a stud Quentin Williams who is holding

1006
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 3: out like he hasn't been at voluntary workoutse and things

1007
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 3: because he wants a new contract. They got to get

1008
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 3: that done. They have a ton of first round picks

1009
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 3: that are playing on this side. They have to play

1010
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 3: up to par while they're adjusting to Aaron Rodgers on offense.

1011
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, on paper, looks great, but we have to

1012
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: see it play out in real time, and we'll get

1013
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 3: a chance to see opening game. They open up with

1014
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills, who will certainly be smarting after everyone

1015
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 3: dismisses them, like I dismissed him early, Like yeah, we'll see.

1016
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 2: But you're putting the Miami Dolphins on sexy Miami Dolphin. Yeah,

1017
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: the sexy Miami Dolphins. I feel like you're giving preferential

1018
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 2: treatment to the Dolphins when there may be just as

1019
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 2: many questions in Miami.

1020
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 3: Oh, there are questions. I mean, look, there are questions

1021
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 3: about the quarterback. I mean, yeah, the quarterback. And if

1022
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 3: he gets hit, will he be able to get up?

1023
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: Like that's a huge concern. I mean, based on what

1024
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 3: we saw. I mean, he's a big concern.

1025
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 2: There's an enormous concern because if it happens again, happens again,

1026
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 2: how do you see him on the football field again? Yeah?

1027
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean there was the thing and my biggest concern

1028
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 3: with them did they do enough to upgrade quarterback? And

1029
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: so I just took a shot at Garrett Wilson into

1030
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: four quarterbacks he played with the QB two is one

1031
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 3: of those four.

1032
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike White, I love Garrett Wilson, Moony, I can't

1033
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: do it that you love him? You sitting here questioning

1034
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: whether he's a top look. I watched divy game he

1035
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 2: played in college. Loved him. He's magnificent. Only Michael Thomas

1036
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 2: looked more like a pro receiver at Ohio State than

1037
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson did. He just did love was smooth, you know,

1038
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: and a lotos great New Orleans. But like Garrett Wilson

1039
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 2: looked the part. Only Michael Thomas when he played in

1040
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 2: college looked more like a pro receiver.

1041
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 3: And am I wrong? I mean you're the draft. I mean,

1042
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 3: they they're good players. I love what Ohio State has done.

1043
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 3: And the bad thing about all of this is the

1044
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 3: player that they have there, Marvin Harrison Junior is better

1045
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 3: than all of them, so we get a chance to

1046
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 3: see him with the buck eyes.

1047
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: Sam's giving me the rap sign as soon as.

1048
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: We started, I know, because he knew I was about

1049
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 3: to say something about the Wolverine. He didn't want me

1050
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 3: to say anything.

1051
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we're going to talk about Iowa's punt team.

00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 2: let us know what's happening in this first set tiebreak.

1072
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 2: I want to know what's happening in the the n

1073
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 2: b A and I think one of the true dilemmas.

1074
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 2: And it's amazing on how this story has unfolded because

1075
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 2: it was just just, uh, you know, four years or

1076
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 2: so ago that we were looking at an NBA draft

1077
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 2: that had just some some some big names in it,

1078
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 2: franchise level names, Zion Williamson, John Morant, one two. There

1079
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 2: wasn't really an argument that one that that job would

1080
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 2: go number one. Kind of reminds me of Greg Oden

1081
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 2: and Kevin Durant. You figure that Odin was going one

1082
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 2: and Durant was going too, and we obviously know how

1083
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: that played out in history and how we look back

1084
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 2: on it. But this Zion Williamson John Morant discussion now

1085
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: is taking a completely different turn from what we thought

1086
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: when they were picked in the draft in twenty nineteen.

1087
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: At that time, you're wondering, all right, who's gonna be

1088
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: the star. Probably gonna be Zion just because of a

1089
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 2: skill set, but there were questions about his weight and

1090
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 2: we didn't know, all right, his job going to be

1091
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 2: able to transition from playing at Murray State? Is he

1092
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 2: going to be able to handle the rigors of NBA

1093
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 2: competition when they are playing in job more so than Zion.

1094
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: They have shown that they can handle it, and they

1095
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 2: can handle it very well. It's the off court stuff

1096
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 2: and Zion Williamson in the news and listen, Zion's personal

1097
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: life right now, maybe on some choppy waters, wouldn't be

1098
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: the first NBA player. So not judging in whatever hot

1099
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: water he's got himself into. But we know about John

1100
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: Morant's situation and we expect once the NBA Finals are

1101
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 2: over and In fact, Bucky, I think immediately after the

1102
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 2: finals are over, like within forty eight hours of the

1103
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 2: finals ending, I think we will find, doubt what John

1104
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: Morant's suspension will be by the NBA following their investigation.

1105
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 2: As we sit almost four years to the night of

1106
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 2: when John Morant and Zion Williamson were drafted one two,

1107
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: Williamson going to the Pelicans and Job going to the

1108
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies. Whose future do you like better looking ahead

1109
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: in the NBA.

1110
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: As crazy as it may sound right now because it's

1111
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 3: a low moment, but I'm gonna go with John Morant

1112
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 3: having a brighter future. John Morant has to control his

1113
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 3: urges to pop on Instagram live and to play with

1114
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 3: guns and all that for the public to see. But

1115
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 3: I believe with time and maturity he should be able

1116
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 3: to work through that. Zion Williamson's issues, he has his availability,

1117
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 3: He's not able to get on the court, He's not

1118
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 3: healthy enough to perform. The flashes are great, but we're

1119
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 3: used to seeing Zion Williamson always on the sideline, and

1120
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 3: so for me, I will bet on the player who

1121
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 3: is more likely to be on the court.

1122
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: And as Ja Moran, yeah, I think this, this story

1123
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 2: that surfaced is very scandalous and you know story yes

1124
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 2: about which one's I yes, yes it is. It is

1125
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: very scandalous. He's going to be a father and uh girl, yes, yeah,

1126
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 2: can congrats on that. But then we found out that

1127
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 2: maybe he had also had uh you know relations with

1128
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: uh with professional someone else, a professional with a professional.

1129
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: But that again, that is that is nothing new to

1130
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 2: the NBA, just like uh it's basically the not calling

1131
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: traveling in the NBA. It's it's probably so common. The

1132
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: Jamran thing is is the interesting part. I just wonder

1133
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: how long this sticks with Jaw. I think that, like

1134
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 2: Zion needs to shed the weight. I am curious on

1135
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 2: how Jaw sheds this label, which I think is much

1136
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 2: more difficult to do, but is actually doable. From everything

1137
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 2: that you have said, if jahn Morant shows remorse, shows progress,

1138
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 2: shows that he has grown. Because and I've been on record,

1139
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 2: you and I haven't gotten together recently, but I've been

1140
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: very critical of not only Ja Morant, but the NBA

1141
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 2: and espno they've handled this Jah Morant situation because I

1142
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: felt they've just tried to fast track it. Now there's

1143
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: going to be a sizeable suspension. I think anywhere between

1144
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: eighteen to forty games is I think the range that

1145
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna see for the suspension. But Jahn Morant would

1146
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: now have an opportunity to kind of change who he is,

1147
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 2: and he's got plenty of time to do so. If

1148
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Zion doesn't lose the weight, there's no way that it's

1149
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 2: ever going to happen there. And even if he does,

1150
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 2: it may just be it may just be an injury

1151
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 2: prone guy, not unlike we saw in two thousand and

1152
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 2: seven with Greg Godin and Kevin Durant. So just that

1153
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 2: fact of the matter, I actually agree with you that

1154
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 2: I see sey more prospect with John Morant than I

1155
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 2: do with Zion Williamson. Even with the most recent transgressions

1156
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 2: of the Grizzlies card.

1157
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jah Moran has a chance to still get it right.

1158
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Despite all the missteps that he's taken the last year

1159
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 3: or so, he can still kind of figured it out

1160
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 3: and make himself available. They had to hit him hard

1161
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 3: with this punishment. I expected to be what you talked

1162
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 3: about forty or so games, because it has to be

1163
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,439
Speaker 3: significant to kind of wake him up. And Adam Siver

1164
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 3: has talked about like, hey, this is not us sending

1165
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 3: a message to everybody else, but it is because you can't.

1166
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,919
Speaker 2: Have your star player.

1167
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 3: Acting out this way for public suption, because the tarnish

1168
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 3: is the brand, regardless of where you sit with gun

1169
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 3: laws and dose thing, it tarnishes the brand when you

1170
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 3: see a player acting what appears to be irresponsibly with

1171
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 3: a gun because young people in those things, so they're

1172
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 3: going to come down at him.

1173
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: And Zion Williamson is lo We can talk about his

1174
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 2: personal life is his personal life, but in terms of

1175
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 2: his availability being able to get on the court and

1176
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: do all the things that everyone was so excited to see,

1177
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: and when he's played, he's been terrific. But can he

1178
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 2: ever get in shape?

1179
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 3: Can he ever play long stretches of the season where

1180
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 3: you can feel good about him as a franchise player.

1181
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 3: Those are the major things that you have to address

1182
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 3: if you're the publicans.

1183
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be an interesting offseason for the

1184
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 2: Memphis Christlies as well, because it just seems like the

1185
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks era is over.

1186
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 3: With unfairly dubbed I mean man, just like unfairly he

1187
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 3: just thrown out there because he made a bold prediction. Like,

1188
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 3: imagine if the Miami he treated Jimmy Butler that way

1189
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 3: when he guaranteed wins in games four or five, six

1190
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 3: in the last series before they finally won in Game seven.

1191
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean this like Dylan Brooks got in trouble because

1192
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 3: he basically all the Lakers and Lebron James Old and

1193
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 3: Lebron James responded accordingly.

1194
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's there's more. I think there's more than that.

1195
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 2: There's also biting off more than you can chew. There's

1196
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 2: also playing within and there's been instances throughout the year.

1197
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he likes to shoot. He and Shannon Sharp

1198
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: are having words. I think the you know, the the

1199
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 2: culture has to change. They aren't grind city like they

1200
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 2: were with Tony Allen and Marcussol and Mike Conley. Yeah.

1201
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 2: They that's that. That was that was fun. You like that,

1202
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 2: You like that slug? Yeah, fit it worked. This is

1203
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 2: just you know, being being jerky and yeah, being jerks

1204
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 2: and being petty and trying to be tough. Those guys

1205
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 2: were tough, like like they were.

1206
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 3: I don't have gritty team. They were fun to watch

1207
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 3: the teams. Yeah, and and so they they had all that.

1208
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,919
Speaker 3: It was, Hey, we're gonna take him to the grindhouse

1209
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 3: and go to work and do all this stuff, and

1210
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 3: they did that. They're not the same team. My only

1211
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 3: thing with Dylan Brooks is I feel like he is

1212
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 3: being kind of made to be the scapegoat when there's

1213
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 3: so many other issues with the team. So he gets

1214
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 3: the bad boy labeling for the general manager to come

1215
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 3: out like on the note uncertain terms.

1216
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 2: Will he be back?

1217
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 3: Whoa what did he do besides like at a bass

1218
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 3: Sears and ran his mouth off like that, that's nothing.

1219
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Coach K was right all along. Remember that, Remember when

1220
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Coach K got mad at him the Elite A game salty.

1221
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 2: He was salty. Coach K was salty. He's Bucky Brooks.

1222
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,959
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer, kind of like Bucky Brooks at times

1223
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 2: when talking about certain teams from the AFC and quarterbacks

1224
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 2: a little salty. We are live at the tireq dot

1225
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 2: Com Studios. Hit Bucky up on Twitter at Bucky Brooks.

1226
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: You can find me on Twitter at dan Byer. On Fox,

1227
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 2: I think the first set has finally come to an end.

1228
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,640

1471
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: you're an Eagles fan, I've got some good news and

1472
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: some bad news for you. The good news is, Bucky

01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 2: their throwback uniforms leaked on social media this week. Have

1474
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 2: you seen the throwback leaks? I have not seen the

1475
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 2: throwback leaks. All right, I'm gonna show you. And in fact,

1476
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to retweet an article UNI Watch had them,

1477
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 2: and it was the throwback uniforms the Eagles you're gonna

1478
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 2: wear in their twenty in the twenty twenty three season,

1479
01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:01,719
Speaker 2: which again are like the Randall Cunningham Eagle. Yeah jerseys,

1480
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 2: they are they are sharp and you you watch had this.

1481
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 2: There was someone at a at a store that saw

1482
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 2: I Jalen Hurts jersey. If you look at my phone

1483
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 2: right here, Bucky, this is what this is what we've got,

1484
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 2: very very sharp with the with the eagle on the sleeve,

1485
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 2: like the full wing flying eagle with the football in

1486
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 2: its talons. That is what we've got. I think it

1487
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 2: is a It is a great, great look, classic uniform,

1488
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: classic classic look. I just retweeted it, so it should

1489
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 2: be near the top or at the top of my timeline.

1490
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 2: Look at it at Dan Byron Fox. That's the good

1491
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 2: news for the Philadelphia Eagles. Great uniforms, look good, play good.

1492
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 2: Bad news, bad news. And I hear this all the time.

1493
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 2: Who else is in the NFC? Yeah, who else is doing? Yeah?

1494
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 2: There's fifteen other teams. Yeah that don't So we're talking

1495
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 2: that don't have the uh the hiccups that I think

1496
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 2: the Eagles could have. I got bad news. I think

1497
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles take a major step. This has been

1498
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: my theme this entire offseason of all the teams we mentioned,

1499
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, Buffalo maybe falling back to the pack a

1500
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 2: little bit. I think that there are warning signs that

1501
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 2: appear that show you that, you know what, that isn't

1502
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 2: sustainable or guess what, that's not good. And I'm taking

1503
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 2: this opportunity, Bucky, because you and I haven't teamed up

1504
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 2: in a while to present this to you, because I

1505
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 2: think there are many people who are high on the

1506
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, especially compared to what is happening in the AFC.

1507
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 2: You just rattled off six, seven, eight teams that you

1508
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 2: think could maybe make the playoffs or be in the

1509
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,839
Speaker 2: playoffs in the AFC, and you do that in the NFC,

1510
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 2: and it's more of the opposite of not who's the

1511
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: odd team left out? It's all right, which of these

1512
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 2: seven are actually going to be good enough to win

1513
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 2: a division or have a wild card? And you say, well,

1514
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 2: the Eagles are the ones with the really the least

1515
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 2: amount of questions. Even the forty nine ers in their

1516
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 2: quarterback situation, you have questions, but I think that they

1517
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: are destined for a step back. Do you want to

1518
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 2: know why? Why? Here's some of the bad news. I

1519
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 2: believe that the super Bowl hangover is real. That's point

1520
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 2: number one when you lose a Super Bowl. And I

1521
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 2: actually think that are you diagramming plays right now as

1522
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm about to break this down? What do we have

1523
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 2: a run play? Defensive flight? Okay? I had a thought

1524
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 2: in my head, so I want to make sure. Okay,

1525
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 2: that's actually I don't care, that's totally fine. I know

1526
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 2: you're listening to me. If you take the Philadelphia Eagles

1527
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: and you look at what happened last year, the quarterback

1528
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 2: playing like a top five quarterback, sure, absolutely. How about

1529
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 2: you know defense injuring brock Perty's arm could be one

1530
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 2: one play getting after the quarterback running game AJ Brown,

1531
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 2: DeVante Smith, you know, becoming a tandem Smith. But but

1532
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 2: when you look at when you look at I think

1533
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:59,839
Speaker 2: this is what tells you about why the Cincinnati Bengals

1534
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 2: are different team. Because they were able to lose a

1535
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and then respond to the way that they did.

1536
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 2: I think that takes a lot. I think losing a

1537
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl takes a lot out of you to get

1538
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 2: that close. And this is a team that at what

1539
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 2: ten point leader at halftime? Heck, the game's airing on

1540
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 2: NFL Network right now for Football fifty seven. But you

1541
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 2: get that close, you go through all the work, you

1542
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 2: have all the breaks, everything happens. Get off of that

1543
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 2: hot start. You're the last undefeated team in the league.

1544
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 2: Keep rolling, just rolling to the playoffs. Roll over this

1545
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, to have a quarterback, go to the

1546
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, get a half time lead. You do all

1547
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 2: of that, and then you fall short and to have

1548
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 2: to go through everything that you just went through again,

1549
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 2: I think is I would say this with the Eagles.

1550
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 2: I would have said it with the Bengals, even though

1551
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 2: they proved it to not be true. I think it

1552
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: is a heavy heavy burden to carry, and I think

1553
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 2: it will be a heavy burden for the Philadelphia Eagles.

1554
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 2: That's point number one of my bad news. Do you

1555
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 2: agree with that? I do not agree with that.

1556
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 3: This is the best team in the NFC, the Philadelphia

1557
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 3: Eagles and the San Francisco forty nine ers. But you

1558
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 3: tip the skills in the eagles favor because the quarterback,

1559
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, is the best quarterback in the NFC. And

1560
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 3: so we think about the correlation between quarterback play and

1561
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 3: title contention, that puts them ahead of the curve. Then

1562
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,839
Speaker 3: when you look at this team and just the talent,

1563
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 3: the depth of talent that they have, not only what

1564
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 3: they had already, but now they go and get the

1565
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 3: best defender in the draft in Jalen Carter. They able

1566
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 3: to put them alongside another first round pick last year

1567
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 3: that they basically red shirted in Jordan Davis. The Kobe

1568
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 3: Dean steps in, you still have Hassan Reddick coming off

1569
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 3: the edge, Brendon Ingram and all these other guys for

1570
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 3: ta Cox and all of this stuff. Defensively, they're loaded,

1571
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 3: and you already spoke to what the offense is with

1572
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 3: aj Brown and DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts running a

1573
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 3: very unique and difficult running game rushing offense.

1574
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 2: I just don't know how you can slow them down. Okay,

1575
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 2: all right, you mentioned Jalen Carter. That's point number two.

1576
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,719
Speaker 2: There is a reason he slipped to nine in the draft.

1577
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,640
Speaker 2: And I don't think it was the traffic charges that

1578
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 2: resulted in the deaths of two people, including a former teammate.

1579
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 2: I don't believe that that was entirely the case. I

1580
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 2: think that there's stuff on film where you have concerns

1581
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 2: about Jalen Carter, and I just it's a complete double

1582
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 2: standard to talk about a player and you say this

1583
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 2: guy could fall, and then when a team drafts him,

1584
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 2: you go unbelievable value and you know, you know who

1585
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 2: the poster child of this was Randy Gregory. Two different players,

1586
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 2: but it was Randy Gregory is falling, you know, fail

1587
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 2: the drug test at the Combine. Cowboys draft them, unbelievable

1588
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: value for the Dallas Cowboys and getting Randy Gregory. There's

1589
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 2: a reason Jalen Carter fell to ninth in the NFL draft. Yeah,

1590
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 2: I think they're two different players. I think Randy Gregor

1591
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 2: as a player in Nebraska was different. I'm not comparing

1592
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 2: the players, but what I'm saying is there's a reason

1593
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: that he fell tonight. There is absolutely a reason.

1594
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 3: There were reasons in terms of what was transferring off

1595
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 3: the field, and then some would say that there are

1596
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 3: some reasons on the field in terms of effort level

1597
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 3: in those things. But you just talk about size, dominance,

1598
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 3: all of those things to flashes. Those flashes keep you captivated,

1599
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 3: all right, Okay, even if you take him aside, when

1600
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 3: you look at this team offensive line, you could say,

1601
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 3: arguably the best offensive line in the NFC, maybe the

1602
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 3: best offensive line in ball. The way they were able

1603
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 3: to get it. I mean, just enjoyed my my auta.

1604
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 3: And then you have Lane Johnson up front. Kelsey comes

1605
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 3: back to spark it, and then they have guys already

1606
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,839
Speaker 3: in the stable to replace those guys when they depart.

1607
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 3: It's just hard to find a serious weakness.

1608
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 2: If you'll aft Yougoslana, if your high school football team

1609
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 2: that you led to the CIF State championship game, if

1610
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 2: there was a player after your semi final win that

1611
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 2: was sulking on the bench because they didn't get their touches,

1612
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 2: what would you say to that player?

1613
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 3: That's common, it's high school like, like that's what happens.

1614
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 3: I would tell them, like, look, you worry about the team.

1615
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 3: You can't you can't have your own individual agenda ahead

1616
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 3: of what we're trying to accomplish as a team.

1617
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but some of that is a conversation. So when

1618
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 2: a J. Brown does it after a divisional playoff win,

1619
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 2: that's that's the nature of the position. That is that

1620
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 2: is that is the every heat culture. It would not

1621
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 2: happened to the Miami Heats. Well, it's a good thing.

1622
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 3: Miami's a basketball team, not a football team, because if

1623
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 3: you're dealing with wide receivers, that's part.

1624
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 2: Of the deal. Every great, every great wide receiver from

1625
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:56,599
Speaker 2: Jerry Rice to Marvin Harrison, not to true Michael.

1626
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 3: It is true to Michael Irvin. When you don't the ball,

1627
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 3: it is like being in a track meet. You're not engaged.

1628
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 3: You're not in the game.

1629
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 2: So that is why you have to make sure that

1630
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 2: as a play caller that you have design touches to

1631
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 2: make sure that you keep them engaged, because if not,

1632
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 2: they will wander. It's the hardest position because you're dependent

1633
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 2: upon somebody else giving you the ball. So you're gonna

1634
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,759
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to make an impact for those that forget.

1635
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 2: The Eagles completely dominated the New York Giants in the

1636
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:28,719
Speaker 2: divisional playoff and aj Brown sat on the bench sulking

1637
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: because he only had like four targets and three catches.

1638
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 3: I mean, Dan, it's almost like running a track meet.

1639
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 3: Who wants to run up and down the up and

1640
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 3: down the field and never get a touch. You want

1641
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 3: to you want to bone, you need.

1642
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 2: Aju was in Tennessee did not like the contract that

1643
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 2: they offered him. It was disrespectful, it was it was

1644
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 2: So he goes to Philadelphia and guess what gets What

1645
01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 2: he wants makes the Pro Bowl, makes the Pro So.

1646
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 3: I imagine if you have what he had over fourteen

1647
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 3: hundred receiving yards, they you're one of the top receivers

1648
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 3: in the league, You're arguably the number one playmaker on

1649
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 3: the team, and you only had four opportunities.

1650
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 2: You win your and it was six targets, three catches

1651
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 2: on six targets. I just brought it up as well,

1652
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 2: for twenty two yards. They were up twenty eight to

1653
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 2: nothing at halftime. He wins a playoff game. He's about

1654
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 2: to go to a conference championship game, places that he

1655
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:35,759
Speaker 2: had not been in Tennessee. Heck, the year before in Tennessee,

1656
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 2: they lost in the conference semi finals when they were

1657
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 2: the number one seed to the Cincinnati Bengals. So he

1658
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 2: accomplished something as a teammate that he had never accomplished

1659
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 2: in his career and was sulking on the sidelines.

1660
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 3: Okay, this is because you brought up he Coulture, and

1661
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 3: you brought up Himmy Butler, because you've been on Jimmy

1662
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 3: Butler because he hasn't scored a ton.

1663
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 2: Of points, and so I actually gave your Butler passed.

1664
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 2: I think people were fast tracking Butler to the rankings.

1665
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,600
Speaker 3: You're aj Brown, and you know after the game you

1666
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 3: have to sit in front of the podiumn have to

1667
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:16,600
Speaker 3: answer these questions and they may say, hey, man, like

1668
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 3: your head to go on, But why did you.

1669
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 2: Only have two or three catches because we were up

1670
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: twenty eight to nothing at halftime? Would be my answer.

1671
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 2: And I'm about to I'm about to play in the

1672
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 2: conference championship game and I've never done in my career.

1673
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 2: So what do you have his numbers from the Conference

1674
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 2: championship game? I'll bring him up right now. One Did

1675
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 2: he have any touches? And they tell you what they did?

1676
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:36,800
Speaker 2: Do you know what they did?

1677
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 4: Do?

1678
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 2: They threw it to him on the first series? I

1679
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 2: think it was even the first play of the game.

1680
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 2: Do you know why you had four receptions for twenty

1681
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 2: eight yards in that yard? I'm target, but you know

1682
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 2: what he did? He set the table.

1683
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 3: Because you know what happens in life, The squeaky wheel

1684
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 3: gets de grease, and so sometimes you have to let

1685
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 3: it be known that you're not happy with your current situation.

1686
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 2: You can do that throughout the week. You don't do

1687
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 2: it immediately after a game that you just won by

1688
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 2: thirty one points. He was he was in a worse

1689
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 2: mood than the Giants were and they just lost by

1690
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 2: thirty one. You know what happens.

1691
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 3: I like, I like to appeal to your sensibilities as

1692
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 3: a parent. And so you know what happens when little

1693
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 3: Diamond comes you think you know, I'm right his face

1694
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 3: with his face poked out and his lips all pouty.

1695
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 2: Hey little guy, what's wrong? Nothing?

1696
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: Hey, no, no, no.

1697
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 2: I'm fine. I'm fine. Oh your lips is poked out.

1698
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 2: You want lollipop? You want something?

1699
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 3: So AJ Brown knew exactly when Nick Sirianni looked over

1700
01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 3: there after celebrating, like, hey man, hey.

1701
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 2: Good to football, good football. We win a game, right football?

1702
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:58,759
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, it's a problem. You're right, Aj Brown?

1703
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 2: You know what? How makes you? We get right on that?

1704
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 3: And first play, we're going to make sure that we

1705
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 3: come to you keep you engaged. What happens, man, Yeah,

1706
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 3: we're up twenty eight.

1707
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 2: Nothing. We had no reason to throw the football at

1708
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 2: it that. That's that's what we say. The final board. Finally,

1709
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 2: the final reason, the bad news of why I'm not

1710
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 2: high on the Philadelphia Eagles. And it's a name that

1711
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,640
Speaker 2: you just mentioned. When the adult in the room is

1712
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 2: your quarterback and not your head coach, Oh my gosh,

1713
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 2: you can't. We can't have no fun guy, No fun guy,

1714
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 2: We can't have any fun. No, you can have fun

1715
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 2: when your quarterback is telling your coach in the Super

1716
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 2: Bowl that, hey, settle down, quit popping off to the

1717
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 2: officials or the chiefs. We need to focus on. There's this.

1718
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 2: This is combustible. This is combustible. This is this. There

1719
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,680
Speaker 2: is no fun guy over here. No, there's there's a

1720
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 2: lot of stuff because because Georgia Bulldogs may not be

1721
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 2: a good thing. As crazy as that some man like

1722
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 2: when gets and balances. No winners like winners.

1723
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 3: You don't like my guy, Nick Sirianni to look at

1724
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 3: the camera and pop his pop off, not his head like, yeah,

1725
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 3: we bad and.

1726
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 2: You don't like that, No, I don't.

1727
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:11,880
Speaker 8: You don't like that.

1728
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 2: Little Let the celebratory, Yeah, let the celebratory. Well, they're

1729
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: not sulking on the bench after a thirty one point win.

1730
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 2: Come on, we gotta gotta have fun. There's there's a

1731
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:24,600
Speaker 2: listen these I think these things are real. One of

1732
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 2: the reasons I think Buffalo aside from the obvious issues

1733
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 2: and I didn't miss Von Miller a super Bowl, but

1734
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why I think they also the

1735
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs Josh Allen thing in the in the Bengals game,

1736
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 2: like that may just be frustration and maybe they can

1737
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 2: work it out. I don't know, but that seemed very

1738
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:47,799
Speaker 2: odd to me. All of these things with the Eagles

1739
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 2: seem very odd to me. And you can go back

1740
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 2: to the best roster and but super Bowl hangovers a

1741
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 2: real thing. We see how things turn over in the NFL.

1742
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 2: That's why I am not a as big of an Eagles.

1743
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 3: Are you fa of anybody? It's just been all on

1744
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 3: negativity for two. Can we get some positive Can we

1745
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:04,759
Speaker 3: have a positive story?

1746
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:08,120
Speaker 2: You know what? Yes? And I'm going to say something

1747
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 2: positive about the NBA Finals, And I didn't say something

1748
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 2: positive about the Eagles throwback uniforms, which look absolutely marvelous.

1775
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 2: eighteen months and LA Country Club is his home. It's

1776
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 2: a unique venue. Not only is it a unique golf course,

1777
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 2: but just the location of the actual golf course bordering

1778
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, smack dab in the middle of one of

1779
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 2: the busiest spots that you would say in the country.

1780
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 2: First t box, you see the Beverly Hilton off in

1781
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 2: the distance. So you played it. Played it twice, yea twice?

1782
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 2: Played it a month ago, month ago. May first was

1783
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,200
Speaker 2: when it was so a little over a month ago.

1784
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 2: We had a contest here on Fox Sports Radio taking

1785
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 2: two of my scores from like from the fifteenth hole,

1786
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,719
Speaker 2: in the sixth hole, and if a listener was able

1787
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,720
Speaker 2: to guess it correctly, they'd be putting the running for

1788
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 2: a US Open prize pack part of the first one.

1789
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:45,639
Speaker 2: And then had a quad yeah, quadruple somebody wouldn't bring

1790
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:49,000
Speaker 2: it up. Snow, I'm the one that brought danger. All

1791
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 2: I had to do was take my medicine and I

1792
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: and I and actually I did and then I just

1793
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:57,040
Speaker 2: hit some really bad shots. So we don't have to

1794
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 2: get into the details. But US Open week, uh is

1795
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,799
Speaker 2: practically here in the twenty twenty three US Open tournament

1796

1802
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:20,599
Speaker 2: Couple coming to you get it?

1803
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:20,760
Speaker 12: No?

1804
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 2: Can you? Can you hook me up like that? That

1805
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 2: should be like the goal out of this conversation, Like

1806
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 2: everything you do should be with an intention, Like oh,

1807
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 2: by the way, Charlie, like you put them on the hook,

1808
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 2: like right on the radio, like hey, Charlie, Like I

1809
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 2: think I got like a like a foursome that I

1810
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,840
Speaker 2: kind of like to come through Monday after they I

1811
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 2: think they I don't know if they still do that

1812
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,759
Speaker 2: or not. I have the opportunity to play US Open

1813
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 2: courses the day after the tournament. The only the only

1814
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 2: hang up was, first of all, it was a media lottery,

1815
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 2: so you had to be picked. But if the back

1816
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 2: then it was when the US Open would have an

1817
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 2: eighteen hole playoff the next day. If they had a playoff,

1818
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,480
Speaker 2: your round would be canceled. You would be unable to play.

1819
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 2: I was fortunate enough to go through a string where

1820
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 2: there were no playoffs, there were no Monday playoffs. And

1821
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 2: now a few years ago they changed the rules where

1822
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 2: you will have a two hole sudden death playoff on

1823
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,480
Speaker 2: Sunday night if there is a tie after seventy two holes.

1824
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 2: But I don't know if they still have a media

1825
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,639
Speaker 2: lottery afterwards. With COVID and everything, you know, things have changed.

1826
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 2: So attending the US Open it's kind of your thing,

1827
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,479
Speaker 2: like that's your thing. Yeah, And it helped, honestly, just

1828
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 2: to be candid. When Fox had the broadcast rights, we

1829
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 2: had you know, we did more. You weren't your way

1830
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 2: with there weren't getty email. There was something listen I

1831
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 2: had gone to prior to Fox having the TV contract,

1832
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 2: I had gone to multiple US Opens, and then when

1833
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,839
Speaker 2: Fox did, we sent multiple shows. We were at Chambers

1834
01:39:53,880 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 2: Bay in Tacoma, Washington University Place, Washington, to be ex act,

1835
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 2: I think is the location. We went to Oakmont, which

1836
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 2: is like one of my favorite courses in the entire world,

1837
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 2: just outside of Pittsburgh, which I loved. In twenty sixteen.

1838
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen was in my home state of Wisconsin at

1839
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Hills. That was great. Twenty eighteen at Shinnecock. We

1840
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 2: oh a couple of shows out there as well, so

1841
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 2: lived dis kind of your thing. Yeah, well again, you know,

1842
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 2: Fox had the TV rights at that point. That changed

1843
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 2: after twenty nineteen went back to NBC. But we still

1844
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,719
Speaker 2: we still will take advantage of a great event coming

1845
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,639
Speaker 2: to our town and we'll yeah, we'll be there on Thursday,

1846
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 2: I'll be there various times throughout the week and then

1847
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 2: a week from today this show for four hours. Yeah,

1848
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,679
Speaker 2: Live from the US Open, Although that title is taken

1849
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 2: by the Golf Channel because of their show Live from

1850
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 2: the US Open. We aren't going to say it's Live

1851
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 2: from the US Open because that would be stealing their title.

1852
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 2: But Mike Carmen and myself Fox Sports Sunday at the

1853
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 2: US Open on Sunday, Sunday. Yes it is okay. I

1855
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,599

1856
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 2: I hadn't hadn't planned on going. But sometimes I get

1857
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 2: like these things come through the email where kind of go.

1858
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:08,559
Speaker 2: But I sure heard that you were the guy. Like

1859
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 2: then we can talk to them and they talk to you.

1860
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 2: Talk to the guy. You see what he can do.

1861
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, like the guy actually he hooked it up.

1862
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 2: Ethan's oh yeah, Ethan, Ethan, Charlie, all of it. Very good,

1863
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 2: very good job shut up. For the US Open, the

1864
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 2: par three is are going to be the thing to

1865
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 2: watch because you could have one play. It's short of

1866
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 2: seventy nine yards. No, I mean just that nice little

1867
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:44,720
Speaker 2: it's not some control, Yeah, some control I can. I can.

1868
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 2: I can try to hit a seventy nine. It may

1869
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 2: go eighty nine. But that's that's the way it is.

1870
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 3: But but but but I'm sure you got like the

1871
01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:55,799
Speaker 3: control where you spin it back and all that other.

1872
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,720
Speaker 5: Stuff, right, But when where they put the pin off

1873
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 5: his runner back, Well, because of this location and how

1874
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 5: short it is, it's it's gonna be difficult, like there's

1875
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 5: a there's a way to do it.

1876
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 2: You will have to spin it back, I think to

1877
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 2: get it close. If it plays seventy nine years.

1878
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:11,600
Speaker 3: Take a little bit off the swing. You can't you

1879
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:13,120
Speaker 3: can't go out there trying to knock it off like

1880
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 3: you're in top golf. You gotta make sure you correct. Yes,

1881
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 3: it will be interesting. Yeah, you could see some little

1882
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 3: you know, dead hands, some little I don't know. But

1883
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,840
Speaker 3: that's that's that's dangerous. That's dangerous as well. I think

1884
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 3: you want to make sure it's on the surface because

1885
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 3: there's trouble around. But seventy nine yards could be one

1886
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 3: of the holes. They could have the par three eleventh

1887
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:41,640
Speaker 3: play over three hundred yards if you needed. It's downhill.

1888
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 2: Are you a big hitter? No, I wouldn't say that.

1889
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 2: I'm a big hit Yeah, you just hit it straight,

1890
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 2: like if it's three oh three, I'm not reaching the green.

1891
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:55,800
Speaker 2: So there there's there's that it is downhill, which would help.

1892
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,840
Speaker 2: That takes that takes it, that takes twenty yards. Here's

1893
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 2: something else, here's something else to watch with this. And

1894
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 2: they mentioned this when we went to the media event

1895
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 2: last month. There could be a day over the next

1896
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 2: over the four days, where the par four to sixth

1897
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 2: hole plays shorter than the par three eleventh hole. So

1898
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 2: the par three sixth hole may only play at two

1899
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 2: eighty two ninety, where the par three ends up playing

1900
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 2: at three hundred. But it's a different yeah, different par

1901
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 2: So you.

1902
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 3: Get those fancy clubs in your bag. That's where you

1903
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 3: have all the graphite chefs.

1904
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 9: And all that.

1905
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. I cannot not graphite chests definitely

1906
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 2: now in my irons. I need steel chefts. Okay, I'm

1907

Speaker 2: a steel chef guy. Yeah, you have like the oversized

1908
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,479
Speaker 2: clubs or you're like a program. No, I do not

01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 2: have blades. I do not have blades. I need the game.

1910
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:46,759
Speaker 2: I need the game improvement. Yeah, I haven't improved since

Speaker 1: that took an hour and twenty one minutes. The second set, however,

1924
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 1: considerably easier for Djokovic.

1925
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 12: Serving out white to the backhand of Rude, shortish ball

1926
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 12: and up the line as comfortably as you like, which

1931
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 1: imperiously has been used on American sports talk radio. Right now,

1932
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: in the third set, Rude leads Djokovic one game to none,

1933
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:01,840
Speaker 1: but again Djokovic leads the French Open Men's final two

1934
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:05,040

1950
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 2: NBA Finals will resume Monday night with Game five in

1951
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets home to the Heat. Four games in, maybe

1952
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 2: just one game left of the NBA season. What if

1953
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 2: we learned from these NBA Finals. I took some things

1954
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:06,920
Speaker 2: away when you've watched these four games, what have you learned,

1955
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 2: whether it be about Nikola jokicch Jamal Murray, the Denver

1956
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 2: Nuggets the Miami Heat. What is going to be your

1957
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,559
Speaker 2: takeaway and what you took from these NBA Finals.

1958
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,720
Speaker 3: If you can get a talented team to play with

1959
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 3: effort and discipline, you can win a lot of games.

1960
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 3: And there's always talent in the league. But if you

1961
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 3: can get a team that has a level players to

1962
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:31,599
Speaker 3: buy into a bit of an old school mentality, you

1963
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 3: can really unlock their potential. And what Mike Malone has

1964
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 3: done is he's gotten his players to absolutely buy into

1965
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 3: some of the grittiness that their opponent displays. And because

1966
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 3: of that, I think we've seen the Nuggets game the

1967
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:46,479
Speaker 3: collectively go from good to great in this series.

1968
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:49,160
Speaker 2: I think we've also learned that there are more people

1969
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 2: that now are exposed to Nikola jokicch and the great

1970
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 2: basketball player that he is. It is sometimes you are

1971
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 2: the prisoner of the moment, but his skill set in

1972
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,600
Speaker 2: what he uh what he can do and now is

1973
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:07,759
Speaker 2: doing so on the biggest stage. I think uh lends

1974
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 2: the if you will title of best player in the game.

1975
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 2: I think there's more people that now feel that Jokic

1976
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 2: is the best player in the game. Mmm, like withes

1977
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 2: that paying you no because Yiannis doesn't have the shot

1978
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 2: that Jokic does. Yeah, like Giannis is just just me.

1979
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,759
Speaker 2: He's his nickname. You know, he's the freak his Nike stuff,

1980
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 2: you know, a freak. He's, you know, a freak. In

1981
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 2: Jokic's skill, passing, shooting, Yannis can get a bucket when

1982
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 2: he needs it. There's no doubt about that. A lot

1983
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:48,559
Speaker 2: of different conversations that you can you can have with players.

1984
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 2: But I do think that that Jokic is, you know,

1985
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 2: put himself as the best player in the game. That

1986
01:47:53,120 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 2: could change next season, really could depending on how Guy's development.

1987
01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: You never know, but he is he has now emerged.

1988
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 2: I think that is one thing I've learned. I have

1989
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 2: also learned that I think I do have to believe

1990
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 2: in heat culture. I would mock it previously. Oh, you

1991
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 2: had jokes for it.

1992
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what it is. That's why you wanted it

1993
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 3: off my Twitter. Now, you didn't want to believe. You

1994
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 3: didn't believe in all I think you didn't believe in

1995
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 3: the work. You didn't believe in all of the stuff

1996
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:21,040
Speaker 3: that they talk about.

1997
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 2: I think that there's there's something there. I think there's

1998
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:26,719
Speaker 2: something to it. So I believe in that. I also

1999
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 2: believe it pays in developing players, and the Heat probably

2000
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 2: do it better than anyone else. But even on the

2001
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 2: Nuggets point of view, you know, as as a Milwaukee

2002
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 2: Bucks fan, as you know you've mentioned throughout the show,

2003
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 2: and the Bucks aren't the only ones, but the Bucks

2004
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 2: have a championship window. So you know what you do,

2005
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 2: you try to you try to fulfill that window, Bucky,

2006
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 2: And sometimes I think you neglect developing your own players,

2007
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 2: or developing your own talent, or trying to draft for talent.

2008
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 2: For what Christian Brown has done just as a rookie

2009
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 2: and for Denver to utilize him and put him in

2010
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 2: the position that they have, I think, you know, it

2011
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 2: does wonders. I think Milwaukee, you know, tried to do

2012
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 2: so for a while with Dante DiVincenzo and then ended

2013
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,639
Speaker 2: up you know, training him and he's now a member

2014
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 2: of the Warriors. But when you look at the makeup

2015
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,679
Speaker 2: of just that team specifically, it's okay, well, let's trade

2016
01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 2: for this guy, let's sign this veteran, let's bring him in.

2017
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 2: And other teams do that as well, and you know

2018
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers did that for you know, for how long.

2019
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 2: And now you look at the success that you know

2020
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 2: they had with Austin Reeves, and I think that there's

2021
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 2: something to that, I think, But I think like the

2022
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 2: Christian Brown aspect of he doesn't have to have twenty

2023
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,600
Speaker 2: every single night, but if he's a part of the

2024
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 2: program and incorporated and he does have a nineteen point

2025
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 2: game in the biggest setting, it can do a lot.

2026
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 2: And then it just you know, with the development that

2027
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,720
Speaker 2: they he'd have had, I think that speaks for themselves.

2028
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 2: The guys like you know, Caleb Martin who hasn't had

2029
01:49:50,720 --> 01:49:53,120
Speaker 2: a good Finals, but gave Vincent as well.

2030
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, gave Vincent Maxtrous, all those guys. Yeah, the development

2031
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 3: is certainly there. And you also see with the Denver

2032
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 3: Nuggas they're young guys are playing and playing well. Chris

2033
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 3: Brown being able to get up and make plays early

2034
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 3: in the mix. And I mean, let's just think about

2035
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 3: joking Jamal Murray being at it together seven eight years.

2036
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 3: How they started out as rotational players. They've worked their

2037
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 3: way into the lineup, not giving stuff early, and so

2038
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,560
Speaker 3: because they've had to earn it. There's a little, i

2039
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 3: would say, maybe a little more of a blue collar

2040
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 3: spirit from this team because you kind of go as

2041
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 3: your stars go, which is why the Nuggets are well

2042
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 3: positioned to pull off a championship for a long for

2043
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 3: the first time in long time.

2044
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan Byer. My Nuggets take on

2045
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 2: where their seating is. Getting some feedback on that if

2046
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 2: you'd like to chime in. It is the easiest path

2047
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 2: that we've ever seen in the NBA Finals. Twitter at

2048
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 2: Dan Byer on Fox Get Bucky and the numbers add up. Bucky.

2049
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 2: Find Bucky on Twitter at Bucky Brooks. One guy actually

2050
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 2: tweeted at you to tell me, and then he found

2051
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 2: me because he figured out where my address was. It's

2052
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 2: b E y E R. But the numbers add up.

2053
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 2: But we'll talk more about that at the top of

2054
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 2: the hour. Coming up next though, here on Fox Sports Sunday.

2055
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 2: It's a tradition unlike any other, and we take one

2056
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 2: of the game's best pass catchers and involve him in

2057
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: on the fun that's next here on Fox Sports Radio,

2058
01:51:20,640 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. Good morning to you, about to turn

2059
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:27,320
Speaker 2: afternoon on the East Coast. You're out traveling, Be safe.

2060
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan Byer. As we are alive

2061
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:35,320
Speaker 2: from the tireq dot Com studios get more NBA Finals talk.

2062
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 2: The response to just they're not arguing with me, Bucky,

2063
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 2: They're arguing with math. And now it's the easiest path

2064
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 2: that we have seen for an NBA champion. If the

2065
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 2: Nuggets get this done, You're not arguing with me, You're

2066
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 2: arguing with numbers and facts and data, and it just

2067
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:57,120
Speaker 2: you can't argue with that. So, as mad as you are,

2068
01:51:58,000 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 2: if the Nuggets get it done in one of these

2069
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,600
Speaker 2: five three games of the NBA Finals, it will be

2070
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:07,720
Speaker 2: the easiest throughout for an NBA championship team in the

2071
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 2: history of the NBA Finals in playoffs. Man, it will

2072
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:14,640
Speaker 2: just for an eventual champion.

2073
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:18,240
Speaker 3: Just diminishing the accomplishment of the Nuggets if they pull

2074
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 3: it off, just diminishing that because of as you say,

2075
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:26,719
Speaker 3: a path that's traveled. They can't help who's in front

2076
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 3: of them. They only can knock off those teams. They

2077
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:29,760
Speaker 3: don't have any control over the area.

2078
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 2: You're right, but the numbers are the numbers, and it

2079
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,479
Speaker 2: would be the easiest. And if you want to say

2080
01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 2: that they aren't deserving, that's a different story. But it

2081
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,640
Speaker 2: is the easiest path. You want them to put an

2082
01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:42,439
Speaker 2: asterisk on their rings if they win. Just like that.

2083
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 2: It just is, It just is Bucky Brooks. Today's show

2084

2089
01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 2: the boots. Let a boot, scoot and buggie. We'd only

2090
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 2: done this segment twenty times before Bucky realized that there

2091
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:11,840
Speaker 2: was a country group named Books. Done. But this is

2092
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:19,759
Speaker 2: this is Brooks and done. So I will give Bucky

2093
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 2: a topic and he can tell me if that team

2094
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 2: is a live or player is alive, or if they're done.

2095
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 2: I want to know possible fits for free agent wide

2096
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 2: receiver DeAndre Hopkins visits with the Titan, Titans and Patriots.

2097
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 2: We know about. We had this list of quarterbacks that

2098
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 2: he wanted to play for. There's his former quarterback that's

2099
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:42,519
Speaker 2: in a new spot. Let's get to it, all right.

2100
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 2: Let's start out with the Tennessee Titans. Of visits by

2101
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:49,880
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins to the Titans you're good with that? Or

2102
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 2: are you done with that? I am done with that.

2103
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:54,040
Speaker 2: I am done, done, done.

2104
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:57,400
Speaker 3: If I'm DeAndre Hopkins, I've expressed all the concerns about

2105
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,800
Speaker 3: the quarterback play. It would almost be like going back

2106
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:03,720
Speaker 3: to the future if Ryan Tanneerhill was't playing. You have

2107
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:07,080
Speaker 3: a choice between Malik Willis and Will Levis. I don't

2108
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 3: know if you saw the video, but if they have

2109
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 3: a tough time hitting the net, how are they going

2110
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 3: to hit DeAndre Hopkins.

2111
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that Levis and Lewis were so close

2112
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 2: alphabetically until you just said it. Right now? What about

2113
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 2: going back to the Texans? How about that? I mean,

2114
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.

2115
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:24,639
Speaker 3: If he's in it because he doesn't have to move

2116
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:28,040
Speaker 3: and incur additional cost because stay at his home, Yes,

2117
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:29,519
Speaker 3: I can get it, but I don't see a lot

2118
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:31,639
Speaker 3: of winning that's going to take place with the textive.

2119
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 2: How about the reuniting possibility with Bill O'Brien expected to

2120
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:37,880
Speaker 2: meet with the Patriots tomorrow, I mean, I can see

2121
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 2: it now.

2122
01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how much DeAndre Hopkins has left, but

2123
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick typically likes guys that he respects. That he

2124
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 3: had a tough time covering, so maybe, just maybe DeAndre

2125
01:54:47,760 --> 01:54:49,600
Speaker 3: Hopkins would fit in New England.

2126
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of Bill, what about the Buffalo Bill's Josh Allen

2127
01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 2: was on that quarterback list that he mentioned.

2128
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see that. I would see. I wanted

2129
01:54:57,760 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 3: something different. I'm done with that.

2130
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 2: Done with the What about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

2131
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm done It looked that like all of a sudden,

2132
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 3: it go from ground and pounds and now they're aired out.

2133
01:55:07,640 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 2: They have Odell, he's better than Odell? Right, Yeah, he's

2134
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 2: not available, is he? We'll see? But even with that,

2135
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 2: Zay Flowers, Odell, Mark Andrews, you have too many miles

2136
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 2: to feed. You can't bring another one in. What about

2137
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 2: Kansas City and the Chiefs? Kansas City's interesting. He's not

2138
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 2: a role runner, but he's a playmaker. Pat Mahomes is

2139
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in football. He makes anybody better. I

2140
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 2: could see it, but the money has to be right.

2141
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:35,400
Speaker 2: But I could be okay with it. He mentioned Justin

2142
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,400
Speaker 2: Herbert and the Chargers. What about the Bolts, No, I'm

2143
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 2: done with that.

2144
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 3: Like what we have Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, we have

2145
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 3: a lot of receivers that are already sitting on the sideline.

2146
01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 2: So now you had another one. I'm done. What about

2147
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts in those Philadelphia Eagles, he was one of

2148
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks he mentioned he is one of the quarterbacks

2149
01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 2: that I could see. But if you think A. J.

2150
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 2: Brown is sulking, now, can you imagine how bad it

2151
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,680
Speaker 2: would be if DeAndre Hopkins is taking away some of

2152
01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:09,240
Speaker 2: his targets. And how about them Cowboys? Yeah? I mean no, done, done, done,

2153
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:16,400
Speaker 2: done done. I thought DeAndre Hopkins had lost his stuff,

2154
01:56:16,440 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 2: which understandably so now you're in your early thirties. I

2155
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 2: did think that when he came back from suspension, maybe

2156
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,920
Speaker 2: it was the only good thing that Arizona had. But

2157
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:30,320
Speaker 2: I felt that there was some value there. So I

2158
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: don't think that DeAndre Hopkins is washed by any means.

2159
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 2: I think that he'd be a great red zone target.

2160
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 2: I think he'd be a great guy. When you have

2161
01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 2: third and eight, that's where you go to. So I

2162
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 2: do find value in DeAndre Hopkins. How much you're willing

2163
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 2: to pay for that? Though? Are you going to pay

2164
01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 2: nineteen million dollars annually for that?

2165
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 3: Or are we talking about Hey, I like you but

2166
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 3: I'll pay eight for that.

2167
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. Yeah, I wouldn't pay nineteen, No way,

2168
01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 2: I'd pay eight. And that's that is the question at

2169
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: hand of all those. Honestly, I think the Chiefs would

2170
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 2: probably be the best fit. You said the Chiefs say yeah,

2171
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean Patrick Mahomes has proven he can make anything work.

2172
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 2: They don't have an established number one, despite them trying

2173
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:14,839
Speaker 2: out Cadirs.

2174
01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 3: Tony is a number one. He has improven that he

2175
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:19,960
Speaker 3: can handle it. So I can understand why there would

2176
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 3: get some consideration. I just don't know if I'm the

2177
01:57:22,880 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 3: Chiefs or I would take that on.

2178
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan Byer live from the tierreq

2187

2188
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,040
Speaker 2: me on Twitter at Dan Byer on Fox and started

2189
01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:07,560
Speaker 2: the show and we've revisited at times Bucky things that

2190
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 2: it's no fault on the Nuggets. They just accomplished what

2191
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 2: they had in front of them. That was beating the

2192
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 2: Timberwolves and beating the Chris paul Less Suns, and beating

2193
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 2: the Jeers Lebron James and beating the shorthanded Miami Heat.

2194
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:27,000
Speaker 2: That's me playing dirty pool right there. And you could

2195
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 2: make arguments like, yeah, Lebron James is aging, but how

2196
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 2: good is he? And the son still had Devin Booker

2197
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 2: and Kevin Durant and you know, Jimmy Butler was good

2198
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:38,080
Speaker 2: enough to knock off the Celtics and Nicks and Bucks.

2199
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 2: But I don't want you to argue with that. I

2200
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 2: want you to argue with the numbers because it's going

2201
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 2: to be impossible for you to do so.

2202
01:58:46,600 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 3: I mean, just because we're telling up the seedings, that's

2203
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 3: the easiest.

2204
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 2: That's the easiest way. Because you were seated as whatever.

2205
01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 3: I think it would be a more I mean, if

2206
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:57,640
Speaker 3: you're going to use analytics and data, I think you

2207
01:58:57,680 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 3: would have to show me shooting percentage is advanced numbers,

2208
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 3: points per possession.

2209
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:07,840
Speaker 2: The teams that we that they played were ineft in

2210
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:08,680
Speaker 2: those areas.

2211
01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:11,280
Speaker 3: By going through just the record and saying, way, hey, way,

2212
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 3: this team was seating eighth and this team of seating.

2213
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 2: Dead Like to me, I need more than that. This

2214
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 2: only surface level only. I believe one NBA team has

2215
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 2: faced two, not one, but two eight seeds during an

2216
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:31,040
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs and that's because an eight seed has only

2217
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 2: made the NBA finals one other time with the New

2218
01:59:34,240 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 2: York Knicks in this modern day of the NBA. So

2219
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:41,520
Speaker 2: is that is that the Nuggets fault? That it is

2220
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:45,640
Speaker 2: not the Nuggets fault. But when we talk about championships

2221
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 2: and we talk about teams, and this is where I

2222
01:59:48,200 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 2: will go and vary, I don't believe that the Nuggets

2223
01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:59,280
Speaker 2: are a good enough team. If they had a normal

2224
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:03,520
Speaker 2: path to an NBA playoff where you had your seated

2225
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:08,480
Speaker 2: teams hold serve and you had chalk in the bracket,

2226
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that the Denver Nuggets would win the

2227
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 2: NBA title.

2228
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't work like that. That's why you play

2229
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:21,400
Speaker 3: the games. The Boston Celtics were, I mean the Milwaukee Bucks.

2230
02:00:21,440 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 3: They started with them, they had number one seed, they

2231
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 3: didn't take care of their business, and then the bostonselves

2232
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 3: had an opportunity to write it and correct it and

2233
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:32,560
Speaker 3: maybe it would have been a different series. And they

2234
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:34,040
Speaker 3: were there, but they couldn't do it as well.

2235
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that you mentioned that, because you are right.

2236
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 2: And in the NFL either there's the teammate get off

2237
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:41,880
Speaker 2: to an eight no start and they like, well, they

2238
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,680
Speaker 2: haven't played anybody. Maybe so, but there are teams that

2239
02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 2: are losing to two and four teams and one in

2240
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 2: five teams when maybe they shouldn't be. So you had

2241
02:00:51,200 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 2: to have to give some credit. Chad Brown tweeted earlier

2242
02:00:54,120 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 2: in the show, tweet it to you to tell that

2243
02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:00,880
Speaker 2: clown to shut it. That was me, that me, I

2244
02:01:00,960 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 2: was the clown. If you look hard enough, you can

2245
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:07,760
Speaker 2: probably find some dumb, random stat to argue against every

2246
02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 2: championship team. Denver has been dominant and swept the Lakers,

2247
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 2: so disrespectful, very my opinion that I don't think the

2248
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Nuggets are a good enough team to win a normal bracket.

2249
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:25,720
Speaker 2: That is disrespectful. That is opinion. What is not opinion, again,

2250
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 2: are the numbers and the teams that they have played

2251
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:29,160
Speaker 2: it seated wise.

2252
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the seating. The seating is something that you have

2253
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:34,600
Speaker 3: to talk around. However, you have to dig deeper than

2254
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 3: if you go make a blanket statement like that. You

2255
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:38,200
Speaker 3: have to dig deeper. You have to give me more.

2256
02:01:38,920 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 3: This is the worst shooting team, what the worst set

2257
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:42,920
Speaker 3: of shooting.

2258
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Like there's there's that is true. They they they really

2259
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 2: they aren't that good. And when you lose Tyler hero

2260
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:54,600
Speaker 2: like they you know, they were one of the lowest

2261
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 2: scoring teams in the league, twenty four score almost so

2262
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:59,360
Speaker 2: you know you're dealing with a big three point shooter.

2263
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 2: It's been a huge loss, and it's one thing, but

2264
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 2: you can't make excuses. Everybody's dealing with something. Joker twisted

2265
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:07,400
Speaker 2: his ankle the other day. The longer you play, the

2266
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:12,040
Speaker 2: more likely somebody significant is going to have to sit

2267
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 2: on the sideline.

2268
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 3: And so if you're the next you want to wrap

2269
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 3: this up. You don't want to play extra games.

2270
02:02:17,760 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 2: I agree with you. If you're on the other side,

2271
02:02:20,280 --> 02:02:22,880
Speaker 2: you're just trying to get one more game, one more quarter,

2272
02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:26,360
Speaker 2: one more lifetime. That's all you're trying to do. Eli

2273
02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 2: tweets in your national media doesn't want to admit the

2274
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Nuggets are the best team in the NBA. You sit

2275
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:34,800
Speaker 2: there and say, they have the easiest schedule now, but

2276
02:02:34,880 --> 02:02:37,040
Speaker 2: you had no problem counting them out against the Suns

2277
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,160
Speaker 2: and Lakers. Oh and then he capped it off with

2278
02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:44,839
Speaker 2: a year pathetic. Oh again, it's called the math pathetic.

2279
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 2: It's true if you could, if you could have picked

2280
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:52,880
Speaker 2: if if you were the Nuggets and at the start

2281
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:55,560
Speaker 2: of the playoffs you said, all right, you're gonna have

2282
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 2: to play the Timberwolves first. That's so you're going to

2283
02:02:58,640 --> 02:03:02,280
Speaker 2: have to play pick whoever else you want to play.

2284
02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 2: The only team that they probably wouldn't have picked. I'm serious.

2285
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,520
Speaker 2: They probably wouldn't have picked the Suns, but at some

2286
02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 2: point in their five picks, they would have picked the

2287
02:03:13,680 --> 02:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Heat they had to play the Timberwolves, and they would

2288
02:03:17,600 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 2: have picked the Lakers. There is you know, the Lakers

2289
02:03:20,800 --> 02:03:23,800
Speaker 2: were playing better basketball at the end of the year.

2290
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:25,920
Speaker 2: But again, this is a team that the Nuggets then

2291
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 2: ended up sweeping. Like you would have you would have

2292
02:03:28,360 --> 02:03:30,640
Speaker 2: picked that team. I think at the beginning of the playoffs,

2293
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 2: before the Dylan Brooks and John Morant, you know, Grizzlies

2294
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 2: squad like when you you would you would not have

2295
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:39,720
Speaker 2: picked the Warriors, even though they were a six seed.

2296
02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:41,120
Speaker 2: But I do think that you would have picked the

2297
02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 2: Lakers from that. Kawhi Leonard getting injured for the Clippers

2298
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:47,320
Speaker 2: different story, but you wouldn't have picked the You wouldn't

2299
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:50,920
Speaker 2: have wanted to play the Clippers in the playoffs, just

2300
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:53,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't have happened. But you would have wanted to play

2301
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:55,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers. And that's and they got to and they

2302
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:58,080
Speaker 2: got to play the heat and the heat. You would

2303
02:03:58,120 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 2: have said, I'll play the heater Hawks, maybe Brooklyn, but those,

2304
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 2: you know, maybe those are the teams that we're going

2305
02:04:04,400 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 2: to look at. That that's the That's how again, it's

2306
02:04:09,240 --> 02:04:11,360
Speaker 2: just numbers. I think you're gonna see it. I think

2307
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Denver wins tomorrow night. But now is the time to

2308
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 2: do it because I don't want to ran on their

2309
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:19,080
Speaker 2: parade whenever they have their parade, whether it be on

2310
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 2: Wednesday or Thursday. So if the season does end, what

2311
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 2: is your biggest takeaway from this NBA campaign?

2312
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:30,440
Speaker 3: Biggest takeaway that it takes a team to win a title.

2313
02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:34,080
Speaker 3: As much as we talk about superstars and those things,

2314
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:37,720
Speaker 3: it takes a complete a complete team. When I look

2315
02:04:37,720 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 3: at the Denver Nuggets, everyone has really pointed out, joking

2316
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:43,240
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray, but it's been the.

2317
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Others that have really carried it. And it used to

2318
02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:49,320
Speaker 2: be a you need three of those guys. Uh, if

2319
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:50,880
Speaker 2: you're not going to do it that way, you need like,

2320
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, five or six guys that can play. But

2321
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:55,520
Speaker 2: now it's proven you need eight or nine guys because

2322
02:04:55,520 --> 02:04:57,000
Speaker 2: you have to have guys that can come off the

2323
02:04:57,040 --> 02:05:02,960
Speaker 2: bench and thrive in certain roles. And so I've learned that, man,

2324
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:05,000
Speaker 2: it takes a complete effort, no matter what you have

2325
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:08,680
Speaker 2: with two stars, hard for you to win without all

2326
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:11,360
Speaker 2: the backups, all the role players, all the support. I

2327
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:14,200
Speaker 2: think there are a lot of things that happened in

2328
02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:16,160
Speaker 2: the NBA this year. I mean, Russell Westbrook was the

2329
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:20,760
Speaker 2: topic of conversation for how many months, and usually usually

2330
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,560
Speaker 2: not in a good way, although he did provide the

2331
02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Lakers with good things at times, and then during his

2332
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:32,040
Speaker 2: time with the Clippers, I guess better than expected, you know,

2333
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 2: in the tougher situations they were in. I think when

2334
02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 2: we look back at this season, the two things that

2335
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:43,880
Speaker 2: stand out and I can't I think the Jamrant story

2336
02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:46,440
Speaker 2: is just enormous because I think the Ja Morant story

2337
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 2: will also carry over into next season because of the

2338
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:54,720
Speaker 2: suspension and carry on throughout his career as well. The

2339
02:05:54,880 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 2: other story that I think would be the story that

2340
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:00,200
Speaker 2: I remember if it wasn't jaw it's the break up

2341
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 2: of the Brooklyn Nets. O, man, like that is how crazy?

2342
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:08,040
Speaker 2: Was that? Seriously? Like like when you and now like

2343
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 2: you look at what the Phoenix Suns are trying to

2344
02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 2: do and Chris Paul uh likely gonna play elsewhere. I

2345
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:17,040
Speaker 2: think Phoenix is in a tough spot. They gave up

2346
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 2: so much for Durant, But I think, like, like that

2347
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:23,720
Speaker 2: storyline is another one that can carry through because the

2348
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Mavericks also made their trade, gave away pieces, and now

2349
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Kyrie could just go and play elsewhere. They didn't give

2350
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 2: up nearly as much as Phoenix obviously did for Durant.

2351
02:06:35,000 --> 02:06:37,800
Speaker 2: But I think just the breakdown of the of the

2352
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets, not the nets specifically, but just of now

2353
02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:45,240
Speaker 2: what happens with Phoenix. Is Phoenix the legit contender or

2354
02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 2: did they just trade for you know, older goods and

2355
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and you know, did Kyrie Irving give Mark

2356
02:06:53,000 --> 02:06:56,040
Speaker 2: Cuban and the Mavericks and Luka Dnci is another setback.

2357
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I think like those those are the two things that

2358
02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 2: I will take the most from the season, taking away

2359
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:03,800
Speaker 2: the Nuggets maybe winning a title or Miami coming back obviously,

2360
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:05,880
Speaker 2: but when I look back at the actual season, it's

2361
02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:09,120
Speaker 2: either Jaws situation or the trades that the Brooklyn Nets

2362
02:07:09,120 --> 02:07:11,320
Speaker 2: had to make. Yeah, last thing would be just inconsistent

2363
02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 2: of the officiating. Officiating. Oh yeah, interesting, I mean that's

2364
02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:17,200
Speaker 2: been horrible, Like it's hard to watch a game with

2365
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:22,840
Speaker 2: a rooting interest just because it's so bad. So that

2366
02:07:22,880 --> 02:07:25,920
Speaker 2: would be the thing, not knowing what I'm gonna get

2367
02:07:25,920 --> 02:07:28,320
Speaker 2: on a week by week, game by game basis. I

2368
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:31,160
Speaker 2: think it's this, This is the thing that I think

2369
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 2: has changed about the officiating. And it may not be

2370
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 2: it may not be apples to oranges, but I felt

2371
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,240
Speaker 2: like we always felt that the NBA was rigged for

2372
02:07:42,280 --> 02:07:45,360
Speaker 2: the better teams, and so that's why we didn't like officiating.

2373
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,200
Speaker 2: And so the Tim Donahue are like, oh the games

2374
02:07:47,200 --> 02:07:50,160
Speaker 2: are rigged. Now We're just like, well, this is just bad.

2375
02:07:50,680 --> 02:07:53,760
Speaker 2: This is just this is not it's not consistent from

2376
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:56,640
Speaker 2: game to game. Not that the Lakers and the Celtics.

2377
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 2: The brand teams are getting all calls. It's just that

2378
02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:03,080
Speaker 2: there's something that has to be done on why certain

2379
02:08:03,120 --> 02:08:06,920
Speaker 2: cruis a certain guys call one thing and certain cruise

2380
02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 2: and guys call a completely different thing. I think they're

2381
02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 2: apples to oranges when you talk about the officiating and

2382
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 2: what it used to be talked about and now what

2383
02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:17,840
Speaker 2: is being talked about. So yeah, absolutely, he's Bucky Brooks.

2396
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:55,640
Speaker 2: set up camp in West LA for the last I

2397
02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 2: don't know, eighteen months to two years or so getting

2400
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 2: Charlie Howe joints the program here on this Sunday. Charlie,

2401
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 2: I know it is busy. We are very, very grateful.

2402
02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:17,000
Speaker 2: My first question grateful of your time. My first question

2403
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:19,800
Speaker 2: is do you have a countdown clock anywhere that now

2404
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:23,600
Speaker 2: has zero days to like US Open week? Is there

2405
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,200
Speaker 2: is there a countdown clock that you have had for

2406
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:28,720
Speaker 2: like the last eighteen months that has finally reached the

2407
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:29,640
Speaker 2: zero days mark.

2408
02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 8: It certainly has. We've got one, I know in close

2409
02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:37,960
Speaker 8: proximity and certainly in our golf course maintenance area Chris Wilson,

2410
02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:40,680
Speaker 8: the superintendent here as well as upstairs in the club's administration.

2411
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:43,120
Speaker 8: But I remember when it used to say five hundred

2412
02:09:43,200 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 8: so days, so hard to believe. We're right on the doorstep, true, Charlie.

2413
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,080
Speaker 3: What's the most nerve wracking part of putting together a

2414
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:52,040
Speaker 3: big tournament like this?

2415
02:09:53,800 --> 02:09:56,480
Speaker 8: Well, it's just the coordination and all the folks that

2416
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:58,680
Speaker 8: it takes to put this together. You know, there's easy

2417
02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:00,320
Speaker 8: things you think we've got eighteen all of it off.

2418
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,919
Speaker 8: We've got our one hundred and fifty six players and caddies.

2419
02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 8: You know, you have your print media, you're broadcast partners,

2420
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:10,000
Speaker 8: you know, every department back at Golf House in New Jersey.

2421
02:10:10,040 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 8: You know we'll descend upon you know, Los Angeles for

2422
02:10:12,680 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 8: really the first time. So it's just the coordination of

2423
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:17,480
Speaker 8: all the different moving pieces. And we are a major event,

2424
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 8: but we aren't like Sofi Stadium here down the road

2425
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,640
Speaker 8: in Inglewood, where you can kind of plug and play.

2426
02:10:22,680 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 8: It's permanent infrastructure. We have to build this entirety or

2427
02:10:26,120 --> 02:10:29,960
Speaker 8: this entire small city. But calling it small, isn't it.

2428
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:33,080
Speaker 8: We had to deliver this venue to be able to

2429
02:10:33,080 --> 02:10:33,960
Speaker 8: put our championship on.

2430
02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:37,080
Speaker 2: Charlie how Jody goes here on Fox Sports Radio in

2431
02:10:37,120 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 2: advance of the twenty twenty three US Open. The twenty

2432
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:42,880
Speaker 2: twenty three tournament director for the third major of the year.

2433
02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:47,360
Speaker 2: I've been fortunate enough to attend many US Opens over

2434
02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 2: the last ten to fifteen years. I've was at Olympic

2435
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:53,879
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, I was at Marion in twenty thirteen.

2436
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:57,160
Speaker 2: I understand that those are maybe similar to what you're

2437
02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:59,680
Speaker 2: dealing with but not similar in the way where you

2438
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 2: are born, ordering Beverly Hills. You're in a busy West LA.

2439
02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:06,520
Speaker 2: What about the location of this course and how it's

2440
02:11:06,640 --> 02:11:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean, heck it's it's in the city. How difficult

2441
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:14,720
Speaker 2: is that maybe, dealing with just traffic and normal operations

2442
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:17,600
Speaker 2: in the second biggest city in the country and now

2443
02:11:17,640 --> 02:11:20,200
Speaker 2: having to host this US Open. How has the location

2444
02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:23,600
Speaker 2: of LACC been for you guys in planning this event.

2445
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:27,400
Speaker 8: Well, you said it, I mean, it's second largest city

2446
02:11:27,400 --> 02:11:29,960
Speaker 8: in this country. We've handed out our trophy one hundred

2447
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:33,360
Speaker 8: and twenty two times. Never before have we had a

2448
02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:38,840
Speaker 8: venue that is just in the middle of a metropolis,

2449
02:11:39,200 --> 02:11:42,280
Speaker 8: if you will, with La so city of Beverly Hills

2450
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:45,560
Speaker 8: bordering you know, four oh five, the ten, the traffic,

2451
02:11:46,080 --> 02:11:48,320
Speaker 8: it's just a special property. We can't wait to show

2452
02:11:48,360 --> 02:11:50,080
Speaker 8: it off and kind of share it with the world.

2453
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 8: But you can have to realize Los Angeles is, in

2454
02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:56,280
Speaker 8: my opinion, the sports and entertainment, you know, capital of

2455
02:11:56,320 --> 02:11:57,920
Speaker 8: the world. And you think about the Super Bowl that

2456
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,680
Speaker 8: was just here, Major League Baseball, All Star Game, College

2457
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:04,520
Speaker 8: Football Champion, National Championship Game, World Cup, sites coming like

2458
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:07,640
Speaker 8: they're no stranger to major events. So we have great

2459
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,160
Speaker 8: partners with the City of Los Angeles or LAPD from

2460
02:12:10,160 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 8: the public safety your services side of things, you know,

2461
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 8: So all those coordinated efforts, but for us to and

2462
02:12:15,760 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 8: for the USGA to bring our national championship only for

2463
02:12:19,160 --> 02:12:21,440
Speaker 8: the second time to the city of Los Angeles under

2464
02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:24,080
Speaker 8: the circumstances that I just spoke to, that's what has

2465
02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:26,520
Speaker 8: us most excited. And there's no shorts of people who

2466
02:12:26,520 --> 02:12:29,400
Speaker 8: love the game here and then getting to see again

2467
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:31,960
Speaker 8: the national championship in their backyard, you know.

2468
02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:35,280
Speaker 3: Charlie, you you pointed out that LA's the city of

2469
02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:38,920
Speaker 3: entertainment and those things. What's that delicate balance or fine

2470
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:40,880
Speaker 3: line that you have to negotiate when you're trying to

2471
02:12:40,880 --> 02:12:43,520
Speaker 3: make the golf course challenging but you wanted to be

2472
02:12:43,560 --> 02:12:46,600
Speaker 3: an entertaining product on TV with scoring.

2473
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:46,880
Speaker 2: And de stuff.

2474
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:50,920
Speaker 8: It is a balance. And what we love and about

2475
02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:54,560
Speaker 8: the US Open is we're taking our championship to the

2476
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 8: most iconic venues, the cathedrals of the game, whether they've

2477
02:12:58,040 --> 02:13:01,400
Speaker 8: been around or a club founded like LACC in eighteen

2478
02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 8: ninety seven, or you mentioned Marion, you mentioned the Olympic club.

2479
02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:07,520
Speaker 8: Places that are just renowned in the game of golf,

2480
02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 8: so that a and have great golf courses that test

2481
02:13:11,160 --> 02:13:14,000
Speaker 8: the best players in the world, but in combination in

2482
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:16,560
Speaker 8: the city of Los Angeles and getting people here to

2483
02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 8: make sure they have an enjoyable experience with viewing areas

2484
02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 8: with grand stands. We've got a US Open showcase at

2485
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,880
Speaker 8: Westfield Mall in Century City, which is literally across the

2486
02:13:24,920 --> 02:13:28,120
Speaker 8: street Santa Monica Boulevard from the country Club South Course,

2487
02:13:28,160 --> 02:13:30,480
Speaker 8: So we've kind of had this whole campus here of

2488
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:32,360
Speaker 8: just the light being shine.

2489
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:35,000
Speaker 2: Charlie how joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. He's

2490
02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:38,480
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan Byer. It's Fox Sports Sunday. Charlie

2491
02:13:38,520 --> 02:13:41,160
Speaker 2: the tournament director for the twenty twenty three US Open.

2492
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,680
Speaker 2: I've been fortunate enough to be on site two or

2493
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:49,440
Speaker 2: three times at La country Club and was shocked by

2494
02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:52,040
Speaker 2: the terrain. But now I also think, how are you

2495
02:13:52,080 --> 02:13:55,680
Speaker 2: going to fit twenty thousand people on this property? How

2496
02:13:55,720 --> 02:13:59,120
Speaker 2: do you do that? Because you know, we've seen corporate tense,

2497
02:13:59,160 --> 02:14:03,200
Speaker 2: We've seen you know, bleachers. It's not the easiest course

2498
02:14:03,280 --> 02:14:05,400
Speaker 2: to get around. How do you navigate it at this

2499
02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:06,200
Speaker 2: year's tournament.

2500
02:14:07,520 --> 02:14:10,760
Speaker 8: Well, you first start with the governing the amount of

2501
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:12,960
Speaker 8: people that you put on the property. You know, at

2502
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:15,320
Speaker 8: twenty two thousand paid tickets per day, that will be

2503
02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:19,920
Speaker 8: our lowest US open total really and then certainly the

2504
02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:22,280
Speaker 8: modern day history. You know, Marion Golf Club in twenty

2505
02:14:22,320 --> 02:14:24,720
Speaker 8: thirteen we had twenty five thousand. You know, even last

2506
02:14:24,760 --> 02:14:28,080
Speaker 8: year at Brooklyn we were at twenty two thousand Monday

2507
02:14:28,120 --> 02:14:30,080
Speaker 8: through Friday and then went up to twenty five thousand

2508
02:14:30,280 --> 02:14:34,160
Speaker 8: over the weekend. So the venue dictates that we look about.

2509
02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 8: We look at things of how the fan experience, and

2510
02:14:36,560 --> 02:14:39,120
Speaker 8: we don't want to impact or over sell it, even

2511
02:14:39,160 --> 02:14:41,720
Speaker 8: though you would have no problem with the attention and

2512
02:14:41,760 --> 02:14:44,560
Speaker 8: the scarcity of kind of tickets. But it's first time

2513
02:14:44,600 --> 02:14:47,400
Speaker 8: back in la in seventy five years. So that's the

2514
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:49,960
Speaker 8: challenge that we have to address. But like you mentioned,

2515
02:14:49,960 --> 02:14:52,720
Speaker 8: the topography here, in the ruggedness of LACC, there are

2516
02:14:52,800 --> 02:14:55,560
Speaker 8: areas you know, as you get down to the Baranka

2517
02:14:56,080 --> 02:14:57,680
Speaker 8: which I never even heard that word, and tell me

2518
02:14:57,720 --> 02:15:01,640
Speaker 8: about here I'm back east where I group from be

2519
02:15:01,680 --> 02:15:04,320
Speaker 8: like a dried out creek bit but the brank of

2520
02:15:04,360 --> 02:15:08,040
Speaker 8: that just naturally goes through almost every single hole here.

2521
02:15:08,080 --> 02:15:10,560
Speaker 8: It does limit where we can move fans around. But

2522
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:13,520
Speaker 8: that's where you give credit to our operations team and

2523
02:15:13,560 --> 02:15:18,000
Speaker 8: you think about the ropeline set, placement of facilities, signage,

2524
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:20,040
Speaker 8: you know, just really anything that we can do to

2525
02:15:20,080 --> 02:15:23,040
Speaker 8: help our fans navigate this historic property.

2526
02:15:23,840 --> 02:15:26,560
Speaker 3: Charlie, For the casual fan, how do you explain to

2527
02:15:26,640 --> 02:15:28,960
Speaker 3: them where the US Open kind of fits in the

2528
02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:31,800
Speaker 3: golf landscape? What would you tell a novice who's just

2529
02:15:31,800 --> 02:15:33,320
Speaker 3: paying attention to golf for the first time.

2530
02:15:34,520 --> 02:15:37,040
Speaker 8: Well, for US, I mean being in the United States

2531
02:15:37,040 --> 02:15:39,360
Speaker 8: Golf Association, I mean, we do look at it this

2532
02:15:39,440 --> 02:15:42,320
Speaker 8: as our national championship, but make no mistake about it,

2533
02:15:42,320 --> 02:15:46,720
Speaker 8: it's a global event. It's a large sporting spectacle. We

2534
02:15:47,040 --> 02:15:49,240
Speaker 8: fit right into that fabric of being here in LA

2535
02:15:49,320 --> 02:15:52,080
Speaker 8: That's why we're so excited to share that with this

2536
02:15:52,120 --> 02:15:55,480
Speaker 8: community in this region. But if you're unfamiliar with golf,

2537
02:15:55,560 --> 02:15:57,960
Speaker 8: just to understand there's four majors a year. You know,

2538
02:15:58,200 --> 02:16:01,560
Speaker 8: we think we have just the the greatest championship because

2539
02:16:01,560 --> 02:16:05,160
Speaker 8: it is the ultimate meritocracy. We had ten and eighty

2540
02:16:05,200 --> 02:16:08,880
Speaker 8: seven people with a one point four handicapp index submit

2541
02:16:08,960 --> 02:16:12,080
Speaker 8: an application to compete in this year's this year's US Open.

2542
02:16:12,120 --> 02:16:15,280
Speaker 8: That's the most ever breaking the previous record at Pineers

2543
02:16:15,280 --> 02:16:19,120
Speaker 8: in twenty fourteen. There's not another championship in golf where

2544
02:16:19,240 --> 02:16:21,480
Speaker 8: you really anyone who can put the ball in the hole,

2545
02:16:21,880 --> 02:16:24,680
Speaker 8: no matter professional or amateur. We've got eighteen amateurs in

2546
02:16:24,680 --> 02:16:26,200
Speaker 8: the field making up of our one hundred and fifty

2547
02:16:26,200 --> 02:16:26,760
Speaker 8: six players.

2548
02:16:26,800 --> 02:16:28,200
Speaker 2: So that's what's.

2549
02:16:28,120 --> 02:16:31,000
Speaker 8: Unique about the US Open and the pride of every

2550
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:33,400
Speaker 8: single one of those one hundred and twenty two champions

2551
02:16:33,400 --> 02:16:36,440
Speaker 8: today having their name etched in the US Open trophy

2552
02:16:36,680 --> 02:16:39,240
Speaker 8: that we've been giving out since eighteen ninety five when

2553
02:16:39,320 --> 02:16:41,240
Speaker 8: Horace Rollins won a Newport Country Club.

2554
02:16:41,879 --> 02:16:43,959
Speaker 2: Charlie how joining us here on Fox Sports Radio a

2555
02:16:43,959 --> 02:16:46,840
Speaker 2: couple more. I know you got to run because the

2556
02:16:46,920 --> 02:16:49,960
Speaker 2: gates are going to open tomorrow, But I am curious

2557
02:16:50,480 --> 02:16:53,680
Speaker 2: on your neighbors. And when I talk about your neighbors,

2558
02:16:53,720 --> 02:16:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm talking about I think it's Lonel Richie's house. I

2559
02:16:56,640 --> 02:16:59,920
Speaker 2: think I know the Playboy mansion is on the fourteen.

2560
02:17:00,959 --> 02:17:03,680
Speaker 2: It's not the Playboy mansion that it once was. But

2561
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:07,360
Speaker 2: with this real estate, Charlie, has there been any you know,

2562
02:17:07,520 --> 02:17:10,800
Speaker 2: loopholes or things, because you know, like we're talking about

2563
02:17:10,920 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 2: high end homes that this course is on has that

2564
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:19,080
Speaker 2: provided any issues with you guys unveiling this course now

2565
02:17:19,400 --> 02:17:21,199
Speaker 2: really to the world for the first time.

2566
02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,760
Speaker 8: I think it's a great question and not something we're

2567
02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:27,240
Speaker 8: unfamiliar with. You look back to last year in the

2568
02:17:27,240 --> 02:17:29,520
Speaker 8: town of Brookline and where the country club sits in

2569
02:17:29,520 --> 02:17:32,920
Speaker 8: that community, you probably argue there was probably more homes

2570
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:35,280
Speaker 8: that bordered Brookline at least that maybe had a view

2571
02:17:35,280 --> 02:17:37,800
Speaker 8: of golf through their backyards. Really, the topography and the

2572
02:17:37,800 --> 02:17:40,600
Speaker 8: way that the trees are, you don't really see many

2573
02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:42,640
Speaker 8: of the homes outside of maybe when you're playing the

2574
02:17:42,640 --> 02:17:45,760
Speaker 8: fourth hole in Lionel Richie's house is on the players

2575
02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:48,120
Speaker 8: right of the fourth green, and of course you mentioned

2576
02:17:48,160 --> 02:17:51,120
Speaker 8: the former Playboy mansion that is kind of behind the

2577
02:17:51,160 --> 02:17:53,440
Speaker 8: fourteenth tea of the property. But other than that, you

2578
02:17:53,520 --> 02:17:57,760
Speaker 8: really don't see any homes. But they're there, obviously, Beverly Hills,

2579
02:17:57,920 --> 02:18:00,959
Speaker 8: you know, Westwood, the immediate surround and communities. But we

2580
02:18:01,080 --> 02:18:04,080
Speaker 8: have incredible support of those communities. When I've got here

2581
02:18:04,120 --> 02:18:06,400
Speaker 8: a year and a half or eighteen months ago, you know,

2582
02:18:06,560 --> 02:18:09,920
Speaker 8: you build relationships with those hoa's or those POAs and

2583
02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:13,480
Speaker 8: communicate them, inform them of the planning, make them a

2584
02:18:13,520 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 8: part of it, which they are, and they've been terrific

2585
02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:18,920
Speaker 8: to work with. But it's all a coordinated effort to

2586
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:21,879
Speaker 8: make sure that everyone is in this together so that

2587
02:18:21,920 --> 02:18:24,520
Speaker 8: we can just showcase the best that we have for

2588
02:18:24,560 --> 02:18:25,840
Speaker 8: the city of Los Angeles.

2589
02:18:26,040 --> 02:18:28,440
Speaker 3: You know, Charlie, I know you were a soccer player

2590
02:18:28,520 --> 02:18:31,120
Speaker 3: at Virginia Tech. I'm a tar heel by nature, so

2591
02:18:31,320 --> 02:18:33,440
Speaker 3: I appreciate you doing acc guys.

2592
02:18:35,640 --> 02:18:36,080
Speaker 8: In common.

2593
02:18:36,879 --> 02:18:40,800
Speaker 3: So I think it's fascinating when I see guys from

2594
02:18:40,800 --> 02:18:43,080
Speaker 3: one sport kind of transition to another sport. Why is

2595
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:45,280
Speaker 3: it important for young people to take up the sport

2596
02:18:45,320 --> 02:18:47,280
Speaker 3: of golf? What can they benefit from playing the game?

2597
02:18:48,440 --> 02:18:51,440
Speaker 8: You mentioned that unbelievable career kind of growing up being

2598
02:18:51,440 --> 02:18:54,920
Speaker 8: a soccer player but also played basketball and baseball and

2599
02:18:55,040 --> 02:18:57,280
Speaker 8: just every sport that I could, playing with friends and

2600
02:18:58,000 --> 02:18:59,800
Speaker 8: kind of being an athlete. But I didn't play eighteen

2601
02:19:00,120 --> 02:19:03,240
Speaker 8: of golf until I was a freshman or sophomore Averaginia Tech.

2602
02:19:03,560 --> 02:19:06,160
Speaker 8: Stayed over the summer with some friends, just picking up

2603
02:19:06,200 --> 02:19:08,000
Speaker 8: the game when we weren't in the gym or doing

2604
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:11,600
Speaker 8: some fitness things getting ready for the fall season. This

2605
02:19:11,720 --> 02:19:13,600
Speaker 8: game has kind of just changed my life, not only

2606
02:19:13,600 --> 02:19:17,560
Speaker 8: from a career standpoint, But there's no game that allows

2607
02:19:17,560 --> 02:19:19,879
Speaker 8: you to play it at such a young age to

2608
02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:22,840
Speaker 8: such an older age with the handicap system that the

2609
02:19:22,959 --> 02:19:27,119
Speaker 8: USGA really now has over the world, the wool handicap system,

2610
02:19:27,440 --> 02:19:31,240
Speaker 8: being able to compete, have that competitive juice fulfilled, and

2611
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:34,000
Speaker 8: not maybe have the fear of, you know, being able

2612
02:19:34,040 --> 02:19:35,560
Speaker 8: to not go to work the next day because of

2613
02:19:35,600 --> 02:19:38,680
Speaker 8: some injury playing basketball or soccer. So that's what's special.

2614
02:19:38,720 --> 02:19:41,240
Speaker 8: I think the relationships that you build on the golf course.

2615
02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:43,360
Speaker 8: You can learn a lot about a person in four

2616
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:45,920
Speaker 8: hours and getting around a golf course. But you know,

2617
02:19:45,959 --> 02:19:49,160
Speaker 8: the family aspect, the friends aspect, that's what's so special

2618
02:19:49,320 --> 02:19:52,000
Speaker 8: special about this sport and what that you know, I

2619
02:19:52,040 --> 02:19:53,920
Speaker 8: wish I was introduced to a lot sooner in life,

2620
02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:56,160
Speaker 8: to your point, So if anyone's on the fence of

2621
02:19:56,200 --> 02:19:58,800
Speaker 8: picking up this game, whether it's at a green grass

2622
02:19:58,800 --> 02:20:01,720
Speaker 8: facility playing nine home or eighteen hals or you know,

2623
02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:04,160
Speaker 8: visiting the drive Shock and top golfs of the world,

2624
02:20:04,160 --> 02:20:07,000
Speaker 8: there's just a great entertainment and buzz around golf right now.

2625
02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:09,920
Speaker 8: So any way shape or form people can get introduced

2626
02:20:09,959 --> 02:20:12,840
Speaker 8: to the game is better for overall community.

2627
02:20:13,040 --> 02:20:16,920
Speaker 2: He's Charlie Hollot, twenty twenty three US Soaping Championship director,

2628

2629
02:20:19,640 --> 02:20:22,240

2630
02:20:22,280 --> 02:20:24,000

2631

2632
02:20:27,480 --> 02:20:29,519

2673
02:22:25,440 --> 02:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Goes wide foot on over your bag.

2674
02:22:28,360 --> 02:22:31,920
Speaker 6: I know that Djokovic is flat on his back on court.

2675
02:22:31,959 --> 02:22:36,120

2678
02:22:43,879 --> 02:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Williams incredible twenty three Grand Slams. In Major League Baseball, today,

2681
02:22:55,600 --> 02:22:58,879
Speaker 1: Dan and Buckett, we have an NBA Finals injury update

2682
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:02,520
Speaker 1: of sorts. The Athletic reports that the man who portrays

2683
02:23:03,160 --> 02:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Bernie Bernie with a You, the mascot of the Miami Heat,

2684
02:23:08,080 --> 02:23:10,840
Speaker 1: is back home and doing well after being treated at

2685
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:14,119
Speaker 1: the emergency room of a local hospital. Went while performing

2686
02:23:14,120 --> 02:23:17,400
Speaker 1: a skit during Game four, he was punched just a

2687
02:23:17,440 --> 02:23:22,440
Speaker 1: little too hard by former UFC champion Connor McGregor, who

2688
02:23:22,480 --> 02:23:25,760
Speaker 1: was there to promote a pain relief spray product. And

2689
02:23:25,800 --> 02:23:29,720
Speaker 1: so the skit called for McGregor to punch Bernie and

2690
02:23:29,760 --> 02:23:33,360
Speaker 1: then administer the pain relief spray. But again the punch

2691
02:23:33,480 --> 02:23:37,480
Speaker 1: was clearly just a bit too hard. Wow, couldn't have

2692
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:39,600
Speaker 1: predicted that outcome back to you.

2693
02:23:40,080 --> 02:23:43,040
Speaker 2: I heard Bernie's gonna fight Floyd Mayweather maybe in the fall.

2694
02:23:43,480 --> 02:23:45,320
Speaker 2: That could be the case.

2695
02:23:45,520 --> 02:23:48,199
Speaker 1: I'm not sure more entertaining than Mayweather Pakia back.

2696
02:23:48,080 --> 02:23:51,160
Speaker 2: In the day. Ah, thank you very much, Isaac Lowan Kron.

2697
02:23:51,200 --> 02:23:54,200
Speaker 2: Get him on Twitter at Isaac Loan Kron. By the way,

2698
02:23:54,200 --> 02:23:56,480
Speaker 2: we have asked Isaac for like the last seven shows,

2699
02:23:56,480 --> 02:23:59,480
Speaker 2: and I wasn't here last week to incorporate some sort

2700
02:23:59,480 --> 02:24:02,280
Speaker 2: of saying in his Angel City FC games. Are we

2701
02:24:02,320 --> 02:24:03,680
Speaker 2: all for seven Isaac long Crown?

2702
02:24:03,840 --> 02:24:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh for seven?

2703
02:24:04,640 --> 02:24:04,920
Speaker 2: Baby?

2704
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:07,640
Speaker 1: We're going for oh for a oh? And here here

2705
02:24:07,760 --> 02:24:11,199
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I have a colleague, the excellent Mike

2706
02:24:11,360 --> 02:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Watts of CBS Sports Network and Paramount Plus, and I

2707
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:18,360
Speaker 1: was chatting with him about a clever remark that he

2708
02:24:18,480 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 1: that he had made in a previous broadcast and he said, well,

2709
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:23,440
Speaker 1: the only reason I said that was because it was

2710
02:24:23,440 --> 02:24:24,920
Speaker 1: a word drop. And I said, what do you mean?

2711
02:24:24,959 --> 02:24:28,560
Speaker 1: And he says, people on social media challenged me to

2712
02:24:28,680 --> 02:24:31,000
Speaker 1: do random word drops, just like you do in the

2713
02:24:31,000 --> 02:24:34,240
Speaker 1: middle of games. The only problem is he's good at

2714
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:36,560
Speaker 1: it and I'm not so. The word drop that he

2715
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:39,520
Speaker 1: was successfully was Winter Winter Chicken dinner, and the one

2716
02:24:39,560 --> 02:24:41,880
Speaker 1: that he dropped last week in the mutual game we

2717
02:24:41,879 --> 02:24:45,320
Speaker 1: were doing was even more impressive on a monopea while

2718
02:24:45,520 --> 02:24:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm zero for seven and counting now with a very

2719
02:24:48,240 --> 02:24:49,439
Speaker 1: simple YadA YadA.

2720
02:24:49,280 --> 02:24:51,600
Speaker 2: YadA, so some point we'll get it. And yeah, you're right,

2721
02:24:51,840 --> 02:24:54,560
Speaker 2: it has gone on. I know the Florida Panthers play

2722
02:24:54,600 --> 02:24:57,560
Speaker 2: by play guy at one time did that. I don't

2723
02:24:57,560 --> 02:24:59,120
Speaker 2: know if he is still there or not, but would

2724
02:24:59,160 --> 02:25:01,039
Speaker 2: have things said to him and they it was great.

2725
02:25:01,320 --> 02:25:04,959
Speaker 2: But we are zero for seven. We are the Oakland

2726
02:25:04,959 --> 02:25:07,080
Speaker 2: A's actually I shouldn't say that, they're on a four

2727
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:10,320
Speaker 2: game win streaks, but of trying to get this done, Isaac,

2728
02:25:10,360 --> 02:25:12,080
Speaker 2: we will talk to you next week.

2729
02:25:12,200 --> 02:25:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go hang my head in shame.

Speaker 2: Today's show's brought to you by Discover. At the end

2735
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:30,920
Speaker 2: about PGA Tour, Live Golf, pif any of that stuff.

2736
02:25:30,920 --> 02:25:33,879
Speaker 2: It was such a huge story. This week's gonna change

2737
02:25:33,920 --> 02:25:36,720
Speaker 2: the way golf is. I'm curious to see how it

2738
02:25:36,760 --> 02:25:39,640
Speaker 2: all plays out. I like some of the things about

2739
02:25:39,640 --> 02:25:42,760
Speaker 2: the Live Tour. Steve Harman and I talked about it

2740
02:25:42,840 --> 02:25:45,840
Speaker 2: before on shows where we talked about who doesn't want

2741
02:25:45,840 --> 02:25:47,760
Speaker 2: to work less and make more? So that's a huge

2742
02:25:47,800 --> 02:25:51,360
Speaker 2: benefit for all the golfers. I feel bad for all

2743
02:25:51,400 --> 02:25:55,480
Speaker 2: of the guys on the PGA Tour who took the stand,

2744
02:25:56,320 --> 02:26:01,200
Speaker 2: had solidarity with the PGA, turned down the money to Holly.

2745
02:26:01,360 --> 02:26:02,039
Speaker 2: Now I have to go.

2746
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:03,760
Speaker 3: Back and work for the people that they could have

2747
02:26:03,760 --> 02:26:04,800
Speaker 3: taken the big checks from.

2748
02:26:04,879 --> 02:26:08,520
Speaker 2: I agree. I think it's that part of it. I hope.

2749
02:26:08,760 --> 02:26:10,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if they'll be made whole or they'll

2750
02:26:10,720 --> 02:26:12,000
Speaker 2: be made them.

2751
02:26:12,280 --> 02:26:14,440
Speaker 3: You can't make them hole if you're if you're the

2752
02:26:14,520 --> 02:26:16,400
Speaker 3: live toward the probably to go, why would you make

2753
02:26:16,440 --> 02:26:16,720
Speaker 3: them hole?

2754
02:26:17,040 --> 02:26:19,119
Speaker 2: Like, what's the point.

2755
02:26:19,600 --> 02:26:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gave you an opportunity to come join us,

2756
02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:25,800

Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. It is Fox Sports Sunday. Wrapping things up.

2788
02:28:07,040 --> 02:28:10,800
Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic, the winner of the French Open, a Grand

2789
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:13,320
Speaker 2: Slam title number twenty three, the most of any man,

2790
02:28:13,560 --> 02:28:17,120
Speaker 2: breaking his tie of twenty two with Rafael Nadal, maybe

2791
02:28:17,160 --> 02:28:20,640
Speaker 2: fittingly show doing it on clay, where Nadal was such

2792
02:28:20,680 --> 02:28:24,440
Speaker 2: a master but obviously couldn't compete because of injury. Nadal

2793
02:28:25,440 --> 02:28:28,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four likely going to be his last year

2794
02:28:29,440 --> 02:28:33,480
Speaker 2: playing professional tennis. Roger Federer is retired, so now Djokovic,

2795
02:28:33,520 --> 02:28:36,120
Speaker 2: seemingly what's ahead of him is just adding to this total.

2796
02:28:36,680 --> 02:28:39,560
Speaker 2: He had a jacket that he wore Bucky and is

2797
02:28:39,600 --> 02:28:43,680
Speaker 2: wearing it right now while he is singing the national

2798
02:28:43,680 --> 02:28:46,879
Speaker 2: anthem of his home country with the number twenty three

2799
02:28:47,640 --> 02:28:52,360
Speaker 2: on it signifying his twenty third victory. Are you a

2800
02:28:52,480 --> 02:28:59,000
Speaker 2: fan of that bravado of Novak Djokovic, I mean having

2801
02:28:59,040 --> 02:29:01,800
Speaker 2: the gear. I mean he's a great player. I think

2802
02:29:01,800 --> 02:29:05,160
Speaker 2: he's he's a little extra, but he's fine. I mean

2803
02:29:05,160 --> 02:29:08,440
Speaker 2: he's fine, He's fine. It is it is, it is

2804
02:29:08,440 --> 02:29:08,960
Speaker 2: what it is.

2805
02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:13,360
Speaker 3: He he deserves to be able to wear it because

2806
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:15,360
Speaker 3: he's been a dominant player and he wins and he

2807
02:29:15,400 --> 02:29:16,400
Speaker 3: wins and he wins.

2808
02:29:16,440 --> 02:29:18,600
Speaker 2: But what do you have more of a problem with

2809
02:29:18,800 --> 02:29:22,200
Speaker 2: Djokovic wearing number twenty three or Tom Brady seemingly going

2810
02:29:22,240 --> 02:29:26,400
Speaker 2: to this by himself because he Djokovic went into his

2811
02:29:26,520 --> 02:29:30,080
Speaker 2: box and if you're just tuning in, Tom Brady not

2812
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:33,520
Speaker 2: only sat in Djokovic's box, but sat next to Djokovic's

2813
02:29:33,640 --> 02:29:37,480
Speaker 2: wife throughout the match. And then when the joker won,

2814
02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:42,120
Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic, not Nikolai Jokic. But when Djokovic won went

2815
02:29:42,160 --> 02:29:45,680
Speaker 2: into his box and Brady was like just standing there

2816
02:29:45,760 --> 02:29:47,640
Speaker 2: hanging out like there was nobody there for him to

2817
02:29:47,720 --> 02:29:51,120
Speaker 2: talk to, gave a hug to Novak, and then moved on,

2818
02:29:51,520 --> 02:29:53,360
Speaker 2: Do you have more of a problem with Brady going

2819
02:29:53,440 --> 02:29:57,320
Speaker 2: solo or with Djokovic wearing a jacket that has number

2820
02:29:57,320 --> 02:29:58,160
Speaker 2: twenty three on it?

2821
02:29:58,240 --> 02:30:00,959
Speaker 3: I actually like Brady going solo, Like that's kind of cool.

2822
02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:03,920
Speaker 3: He doesn't who doesn't who doesn't want to travel internationally

2823
02:30:03,959 --> 02:30:07,400
Speaker 3: by himself and kind of be the international man of leisure.

2824
02:30:07,560 --> 02:30:11,040
Speaker 3: That's Tom Brady is uh, Look, Djokovic wearing twenty three?

2825
02:30:11,080 --> 02:30:13,800
Speaker 3: It is I mean it's fine, Like I guess like

2826
02:30:13,879 --> 02:30:15,680
Speaker 3: we didn't know that this was the twenty third, like

2827
02:30:15,720 --> 02:30:18,240
Speaker 3: it's only been a storyline.

2828
02:30:18,400 --> 02:30:20,680
Speaker 2: Like here's the thing is, I don't know if other

2829
02:30:20,760 --> 02:30:24,680
Speaker 2: people can wear it, Like this would be something that

2830
02:30:25,120 --> 02:30:27,200
Speaker 2: marketing wise, you'd be like, oh, I got to get

2831
02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:31,840
Speaker 2: that twenty three pullover for Novak. Djokovic the number one.

2832
02:30:31,840 --> 02:30:34,080
Speaker 2: If he wins again, then it changes to twenty four.

2833
02:30:34,360 --> 02:30:37,360
Speaker 2: So it's kind of kind of dated special. Maybe maybe

2834
02:30:37,360 --> 02:30:41,280
Speaker 2: he just wanted it for the photo op I but

2835
02:30:41,360 --> 02:30:44,240
Speaker 2: I did find it interesting and Isaac Lohnkrown played it

2836
02:30:44,280 --> 02:30:47,920
Speaker 2: on the final call that we had earlier. It's not

2837
02:30:48,080 --> 02:30:51,039
Speaker 2: the most of any tennis players he tied Serena Williams,

2838
02:30:51,560 --> 02:30:53,720
Speaker 2: and the ladies said, and Margaret Court holds the mark

2839
02:30:53,760 --> 02:30:56,560
Speaker 2: for twenty four. But you wonder if Novak now will

2840
02:30:56,600 --> 02:30:58,959
Speaker 2: try to try to go after twenty five and again

2841
02:30:59,040 --> 02:31:02,600
Speaker 2: he is. It is fitting because he is the Brady

2842
02:31:02,879 --> 02:31:05,560
Speaker 2: of the Brady Manning breeze. He's the one that is

2843
02:31:05,600 --> 02:31:09,840
Speaker 2: still playing Grannity. He was younger than Federer, but Brady

2844
02:31:09,920 --> 02:31:12,400
Speaker 2: was younger than Manning. But Djokovic is going to try

2845
02:31:12,400 --> 02:31:14,800
Speaker 2: to add to his titles, just like Brady did when

2846
02:31:14,840 --> 02:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Manning stepped away and then Drew Brees. So it's fitting

2847
02:31:17,640 --> 02:31:19,400
Speaker 2: that Tom Brady was there with him today.

2848
02:31:19,760 --> 02:31:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it is fitting. All those things are

2849
02:31:22,520 --> 02:31:24,320
Speaker 3: all nice. He's a great player. He's done it for

2850
02:31:24,400 --> 02:31:28,119
Speaker 3: a long time. He's outlasted the other guys you talked

2851
02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:32,600
Speaker 3: about early. You're the Manning, Brady Rovaly and how he's

2852
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:35,520
Speaker 3: been able to do it with Nadal and Confederer, and

2853
02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:38,960
Speaker 3: so he deserves all the credit, even though the twenty

2854
02:31:38,959 --> 02:31:40,360
Speaker 3: three jacket is a little corny.

2855
02:31:40,520 --> 02:31:42,280
Speaker 2: We had a fun day today. One of the things

2856
02:31:42,280 --> 02:31:44,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to point out. In Bucky's most recent piece

2857
02:31:44,720 --> 02:31:48,440
Speaker 2: on NFL dot com, Alex Smith made some headlines with

2858
02:31:48,480 --> 02:31:52,960
Speaker 2: some comments of saying this offseason, defensive coaches maybe hindering

2859
02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:56,840
Speaker 2: the young quarterbacks in the National Football League. It's something

2860
02:31:56,920 --> 02:32:00,360
Speaker 2: that you addressed in your article that you wrote. But

2861
02:32:01,879 --> 02:32:05,680
Speaker 2: should we be getting defensive about defensive coaches or does

2862
02:32:05,800 --> 02:32:07,320
Speaker 2: Alex Smith have a point?

2863
02:32:07,720 --> 02:32:10,760
Speaker 3: He has a point to a certain degree, because sometimes

2864
02:32:10,760 --> 02:32:13,640
Speaker 3: when you're a defensive minded coach, you think about, how

2865
02:32:13,680 --> 02:32:16,400
Speaker 3: can I make sure that we don't give away the game,

2866
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 3: don't make mistakes, don't turn the ball over? A little

2867
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:22,560
Speaker 3: more conservative in your approach. That said, some of the

2868
02:32:22,560 --> 02:32:24,920
Speaker 3: best head coaches in the National Football League who have

2869
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:27,600
Speaker 3: done it with young quarterbacks have been from the defensive

2870
02:32:27,600 --> 02:32:30,320
Speaker 3: side of the ball. You have talked about Bill Belichick

2871
02:32:30,360 --> 02:32:31,960
Speaker 3: and what he was able to do with Tom Brady.

2872
02:32:32,240 --> 02:32:35,000
Speaker 3: Tom Brady kind of, I want say, wrote the coattails,

2873
02:32:35,040 --> 02:32:37,560
Speaker 3: but he leaned heavily on a defense for the first

2874
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:40,280
Speaker 3: three of his Super Bowl rings before kind of becoming

2875
02:32:40,280 --> 02:32:41,840
Speaker 3: the man and demanding it.

2876
02:32:41,879 --> 02:32:44,200
Speaker 2: And then we have in Pittsburgh.

2877
02:32:43,760 --> 02:32:46,240
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin in the job that he is doing and

2878
02:32:46,320 --> 02:32:49,879
Speaker 3: going to do with Kenny Pickett, you know, helping Kenny

2879
02:32:49,879 --> 02:32:52,440
Speaker 3: Pickett take over for Ben Roethlisberg and do those things.

2880
02:32:52,440 --> 02:32:54,720
Speaker 3: And so it is not a death sentence that if

2881
02:32:54,720 --> 02:32:56,240
Speaker 3: you're from the defense side of the ball that you

2882
02:32:56,280 --> 02:32:58,560
Speaker 3: can't help a young quarterback come in and flourish.

2883
02:32:58,720 --> 02:33:00,760
Speaker 2: But when you look at the final four teams that

2884
02:33:00,959 --> 02:33:05,200
Speaker 2: made the the NFL bracket, you know, the forty nine Ers,

2885
02:33:05,320 --> 02:33:11,720
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan offense, Nick Sirianni Eagles offense, Zach Taylor Bengals offense,

2886
02:33:11,840 --> 02:33:15,800
Speaker 2: Andy Reid Chiefs offense, they're all offensive coaches. Yeah, because

2887
02:33:16,040 --> 02:33:19,000
Speaker 2: the league is all offensive coaches, with the exception of

2888
02:33:19,320 --> 02:33:22,320
Speaker 2: those guys. Because as you have done with the Nuggets

2889
02:33:22,320 --> 02:33:25,920
Speaker 2: thing or whatever, using these numbers, Yeah, those numbers are

2890
02:33:25,959 --> 02:33:28,200
Speaker 2: going to be that. I think there's only what four

2891
02:33:28,360 --> 02:33:31,560
Speaker 2: defensive coaches in the entire league, and so the odds

2892
02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:38,039
Speaker 2: suggest that an offensive guy is going to be representative four. Right.

2893
02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:39,640
Speaker 2: I mean you got.

2894
02:33:39,480 --> 02:33:43,480
Speaker 3: Robert Salad, you got Mike Tomlin, you have Bill Belichick,

2895
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:46,240
Speaker 3: Sala did you say him?

2896
02:33:46,280 --> 02:33:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? So Salad, Tever Flues, Belichick, Pete Carroll. Okay, so

2897
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:56,879
Speaker 2: we're up to five, right to five? That like who else?

2898
02:33:57,360 --> 02:34:01,000
Speaker 2: Like who else is there? Oh? Brandon Staley, smart, smarty guys,

2899
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:05,039
Speaker 2: Todd Bowles. Seven. Yeah, so it's more than five.

2900
02:34:05,120 --> 02:34:07,400
Speaker 3: There we go, okay, seven, so we have one quarter

2901
02:34:07,400 --> 02:34:09,880
Speaker 3: of the league roughly defensive guys.

2902
02:34:09,920 --> 02:34:12,160
Speaker 2: But if you you know, and I know Mike Florio

2903
02:34:12,280 --> 02:34:14,760
Speaker 2: said this and others have said it as well, where

2904
02:34:15,040 --> 02:34:18,320
Speaker 2: if you're hiring coaches that doesn't like people say this.

2905
02:34:18,360 --> 02:34:20,600
Speaker 3: So here's the thing about that, right, So people say

2906
02:34:20,640 --> 02:34:22,840
Speaker 3: that if you're hiring coaches, and then if you got

2907
02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:25,160
Speaker 3: a defensive guy and the offensive coordinator gets going, you're

2908
02:34:25,160 --> 02:34:28,240
Speaker 3: going to lose him. Well, here's what I know. There's

2909
02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:31,240
Speaker 3: a playbook, and the playbook is of the team. It's

2910
02:34:31,280 --> 02:34:33,680
Speaker 3: not just the coordinator's playbook. So what you do, as

2911
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:36,400
Speaker 3: you're the head coach and you understand that, you build

2912
02:34:36,400 --> 02:34:38,439
Speaker 3: a playbook that here's.

2913
02:34:38,200 --> 02:34:41,040
Speaker 2: What we do. And so when you hire a new coordinator,

2914
02:34:41,320 --> 02:34:45,119
Speaker 2: the new coordinator adjusts to what you do. He adds

2915
02:34:45,120 --> 02:34:48,560
Speaker 2: his wrinkles, but he doesn't completely overall the system because

2916
02:34:48,600 --> 02:34:50,760
Speaker 2: now you're making it hard for the players who always

2917
02:34:50,800 --> 02:34:53,600
Speaker 2: have to learn new verbage and new stuff. Brandon Staley,

2918
02:34:53,600 --> 02:34:56,040
Speaker 2: did we mention him? We did, Amigo Ryans, We mention

2919
02:34:56,200 --> 02:34:57,440
Speaker 2: we had him. So now we have to eight.

2920
02:34:57,440 --> 02:34:58,000
Speaker 8: So there.

2921
02:35:00,160 --> 02:35:04,959
Speaker 2: Very closer mister Rottenhouse used cleed language this time, saying,

2922
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:06,880
Speaker 2: anything you can do to not give credit to the

2923
02:35:06,959 --> 02:35:09,920
Speaker 2: Nuggets because they aren't trendy on a national scale is

2924
02:35:09,959 --> 02:35:11,920
Speaker 2: all you're doing. Schedule has nothing to do with it.

2925
02:35:11,959 --> 02:35:14,039
Speaker 2: They beat every team that would have changed your narrative

2926
02:35:14,400 --> 02:35:17,320
Speaker 2: if they were in it. I get it. Don't argue

2927
02:35:17,320 --> 02:35:20,280
Speaker 2: with me. I'm just saying, when you're adding the numbers,

2928
02:35:20,320 --> 02:35:22,800
Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets in nineteen ninety five are the toughest

2929
02:35:22,920 --> 02:35:25,360
Speaker 2: road to an NBA title where they beat a three seed,

2930
02:35:25,360 --> 02:35:29,400
Speaker 2: a two seed, and two ones. So it's that's it.

2931
02:35:29,560 --> 02:35:34,320
Speaker 2: Seven seven was the total number the The Nuggets have

2932
02:35:34,920 --> 02:35:37,040
Speaker 2: their seeds out up to twenty seven, the most that

2933
02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:39,840
Speaker 2: you can get, and having the easiest path to what

2934
02:35:39,959 --> 02:35:43,240
Speaker 2: title is actually twenty nine. They got to face two

2935
02:35:43,280 --> 02:35:49,080
Speaker 2: eight seeds and and a seven seed. That is unheard of.

2936
02:35:49,920 --> 02:35:52,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I love I feel like the Nuggets and

2937
02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:54,959
Speaker 2: Bucks are like kindred spirits because of there are a

2938
02:35:54,959 --> 02:35:57,280
Speaker 2: lot of parallels, and as a Bucks fan, I like

2939
02:35:57,520 --> 02:35:59,320
Speaker 2: I feel for that. So that's why you're trying to

2940
02:35:59,360 --> 02:36:01,640
Speaker 2: take down. I'm not trying to take down. I'm saying

2941
02:36:01,680 --> 02:36:04,439
Speaker 2: that I can relate. But you can't argue with the numbers.

2942
02:36:04,480 --> 02:36:08,240
Speaker 2: You can't argue with the math, push the names aside

2943
02:36:08,320 --> 02:36:10,680
Speaker 2: the seeds that they think this. I think I've heard

2944
02:36:10,720 --> 02:36:13,560
Speaker 2: people say this, what numbers are for losers or whatever stats?

2945
02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:17,360
Speaker 2: Oh sure, that's all the sports is now are numbers.

2946
02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:21,320
Speaker 3: So now you're over here diminishing the accomplishments of Mike

2947
02:36:21,400 --> 02:36:24,080
Speaker 3: Malone and the Nuggets because the numbers say that they

2948
02:36:24,120 --> 02:36:25,039
Speaker 3: had the easiest path.

2949
02:36:25,520 --> 02:36:28,520
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Dan Byer. I also want our

2950
02:36:28,640 --> 02:36:31,640
Speaker 2: argument over the Philadelphia Eagles. It's been fun, have a
