Speaker 2: A little later time for me, I'm not used to

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: walking into a studio when the sun is already up

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: and maybe the mimosa glasses are half fulled out there

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: on the East Coast. Welcome in. It's Fox Sports Sunday. Here,

Speaker 2: seven to eleven alongside Jason Smith with me this Sunday

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: for a beautiful two hour sprint. It's Anita Marx, gambling analyst,

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: radio host, the Anita on the Mark podcast, And as

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: she describes herself working to be a pickleball pro, had

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: Anina marks where you find her in the Twitter verse.

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: What's going on, Anita, Dude?

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,240

00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: it's noon.

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: It's weird in the morning. I'm usually in here at

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: five am. So this is this is a decided switch

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: in terms of circadian rhythms.

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: I get it, you know, being out here in the

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: East Coast. Whenever I do travel west and I'm working

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: you know in La, it's it's it is. It's different,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 3: Like like I don't I don't understand waking up and

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: having your fantasy football roster and all your picks and

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: wagers in by nine am on a Sunday, on an

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: NFL Sunday, like like I just like I've got to

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: play my pick a ball in the morning. I've got

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 3: to do my research. I've got to get everything ready.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: I've got to go to the I go shopping, you know,

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: the dips, the wine, everything to host the like how

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: do you have time to get it all ready for

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: NFL Sunday on Sundays.

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: I don't get it.

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: All that extra planning. That means the uh costcos, walmarts

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: and other places with sundry items will be grossly overrun.

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: On a Saturday afternoon. You want that sample, You'll stand

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: in line for it for twenty five minutes. So you

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: got that, and then Sunday mornings. What's been fun is

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: you know, with the advent of all these international games,

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: I have live you know, sports in front of me

40
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: and I do it now. As as Rutgers and Maryland

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: have tipped off Duke and North Carolina women, I mean

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: I've got chaos all around normally it's F one uh

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: and some European soccer in those early morning hours. Now

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: I got a little bit of everything, and eventually Roger

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: Goodell is gonna give me an NFL game every week

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: during the season, so I you know, it's it's all that,

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: those festivities. But yeah, the wine purchases and all that

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: that has to be done early. That's gotta be U.

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: You got to pre plan that.

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're already three minutes in the show and your

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: listeners probably think I'm an alcoholic. It's all good.

52
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, hey do they do?

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 5: I know?

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: Mimosas and the importance of you know, getting the case

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: of line pre Sundays.

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Now you just elevate it to a case. Anita went

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: from a media bottle. Today there's a case uh mixed

Speaker 2: for you covering the sporting universe, so many different stories,

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: and my guy Ilo had it in his update. I

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: want to bring it in here because it just hit

68
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: the wire and we're in that week, that glorious week.

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: Olympics are done, the Paralympics trying to start, given the

70
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: world circumstances, a lot going on there in terms of

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: how that'll all come to pass, So keep an eye

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: on your news there. But it's the week post combine,

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: ahead of free agency, so what we call lying season

74
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: reporting done at three am from Saint almos again over

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: cocktails and shrimp cocktails, no question.

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: And the cocktail saw us burning those nosehars. You know.

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: It's good though, but it clears the sinuses and if

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: you're hanging out in the Midwest, maybe you picked up

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of a cold, here's you blow it out.

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. Listen. I always said this,

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: you know, I attended many, many Super Bowls, many NFL drafts.

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: I think I've been to like sixteen combines. To me,

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: it's the best week of the year, you know, because

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: you're there, you're in Indianapolis, it's downtown. Everybody's in like

85
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: a very close proximity. If you've got a really good team,

86
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: and of course I know the NFLPA came out with

87
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: their poll right like best NFL Teams, Worst NFL Teams.

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: If you play for a really good team, you know

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: where you're staying, right, You're staying at the JW. Marriott.

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: That is the hub. That's where everything is happening. That's

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: where it's all going down. And you are there. You're

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: in a Starbucks line with the general manager, you're working

93
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: out with an executive, You're just it's a plethora of information,

94
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: not just surrounding the NFL Draft, but NFL Free agency

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: and all that's going on. It is like you are

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: just you are a pig in mud. I'd use a

97
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: different word, but it's a family show. If you are

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: somebody like you know, you know a number of those

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: guys out there that that live to report and break news,

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: it's your playground.

101
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Well, you just got to be careful though, because I

102
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: hear some fights break out at those Starbucks every once

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: in a while. Go back and google that one. If

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: you folks don't remember that one, you know that one.

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: And I think Shane, Chris and Ilo. Remember that one

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: for everybody else just googling, get yourself up on that story.

107
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: But it's also that season where we get a lot

108
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: of the hey rumor whisper conjecture. Right, he brought up

109
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: the vikings Aaron Jones. If there's no trade, he's going

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: to get dealt. Well, who's who's really bringing back discernible assets?

111
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: I questioned the the subplot to it is he getting

112
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: traded potentially or released because he called out what they

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: didn't do with Sam Darnold like Justin Jefferson did, And

114
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: he just doesn't have the clout and aptitude and ability

115
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: at this point in his career that Justin Jefferson did

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: you know when they all started going on to podcast

117
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: going oh yeah. Would have been a completely different year if

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: Sam was here as Sam Darnold did his magnificent run

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. But here's one that's funny. Jeremy

120
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: Fowler David Montgomery quote wants out and Detroit would want

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: a decent Day three pick in return, and David Montgomery

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: ad Montgomer Montgomery, David he leaves off the why for savings,

123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: I guess, or maybe that's as many characters as you

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: can get into a name either way. He just wrote,

125
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: damn DMO, who told you that? Demo told you that. No,

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: when the players start raising their hands going, hey, no,

127
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: that's not true. I didn't ask for that, And now

128
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: you're creating chaos because what does that do to a

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: fan base. They're hanging on everything right now related to

130
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: their respective teams, how they're going to use whatever cap

131
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: space they have, how they're going to create cap space.

132
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: We'll get into some of the quarterback carousel and some

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: of the big moves and decisions that have to be

134
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: made and what it means for your twenty twenty six season.

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: But here's just a great in your face this morning

136
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: example coming out of the week of meetings, clandestine meetups

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: at the back of Saint Elmo's or insert bar here.

138
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: I loved Indianapolis when the Super Bowl was there. Now

139
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 2: we got blessed by the weather Anita where it worked

140
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: out really nicely because you do have what is it

141
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: about a square mile where everything is located. You walk

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: straight out of your hotel, there's the stadium, there's the

143
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: bars and restaurants and everything else. So it all worked out.

144
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: So it's a little bit of a playground there, but

145
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: certainly over the next couple of days it becomes all

146
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: the well, here's what we want to get out and

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: see how the market responds. And this David Montgomery piece,

148
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: he immediately shoots up his hand going yeah, not so fast.

149
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I think fans, you know, and I'm sure

150
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: it's hard. Like you know, you and I have been

151
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: in the business for a long time, right, like we

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: know how it works. We know certain agents, certain general managers,

153
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: certain teams. They want to get a story out, they

154
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: want to get a narrative out, they want to get

155
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: something out there that's going to create a buzz that's

156
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: going to get other teams to pick up the phone.

157
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 6: And call them.

158
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: Also, you know, scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: A lot of times that happens with and I'm not

160
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: calling anyone out. This is it across the board, but

161
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: a lot of these, you know, really great reporters that

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: everyone follows with breaking news. You know, how do they

163
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: make their money, how do they get to where they

164
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: are right now? It's because they've cultivated these really fantastic

165
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: relationships with all these fantastic agents and all these fantastic

166
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: general managers, and they'll call them and say, hey, listen,

167
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: can you report this for me. You know, I'd really

168
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: appreciate it you report this for me. Then you know,

169
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: the minute our quarterback goes down with the injury, I

170
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: promise you're going to be the first one to know

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: about it. This is how our industry works. So you know,

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: I just caution fans out there. You know a lot

173
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: of times these messages and these narratives are placed out

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 3: there to get reaction from other teams and other executives.

175
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: So just tread lightly. Don't always believe what you hear

176
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: what you read.

177
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. It's it's a relationship business. Sometimes

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: I wonder at this stage of the game, because once

179
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: somebody breaks a story, it's gone. It's not theirs anymore.

180
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: So do they still hold the same probated value. I mean,

181
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: obviously you know radio, TV and getting those hits in.

182
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: But most of the time, except in the NBA where

183
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: SHAMS seemingly has a monopoly, once it goes into the

184
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: ether football and baseball wise, I forget who's who said it,

185
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: and I'm in the business and it loses, it loses

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: that for me, it's like, Okay, that's now accepted. It

187
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: has fact because I know someone.

188
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: But here's the thing, like, like I know for a fact,

189
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: executives in networks like really value that sure now more

190
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: than ever, Like you know, there are there are people

191
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: and you know this, There are people in our industry

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: that are are as savvy as us, aren't as well,

193
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: not aren't as tapped in I don't know as much

194
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 3: about sports as we do, but they're getting the jobs.

195
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: They're getting hired because of their social media following. This

196
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: is the world we live in because people are consuming

197
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: their information from social media, whether it's YouTube, Instagram, whatever

198
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: the case. So those that are reporting this right, they

199
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: are their own network. And if they're reporting it first,

200
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 3: then chances are they're building their followers, they're building their value,

201
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: and then in turn the networks are like, oh yeah,

202
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: I want that person on our payroll. I want that

203
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: person working for us because now those are more eyes,

204
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: more ears that we're bringing to our network. It's a

205
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: different world we live in. So I think you're right

206
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: in that, like, once it's out there, it's out there

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: in the universe, and then whose story is it? But

208
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it has to do with Okay,

209
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: this person seems to be breaking the story first, so

210
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: I'm going to follow that individual Jewel, and that individual

211
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: now has more clout for executives and networks.

212
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: Look at the social media platform clout that that's a

213
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: long time ago. That's like Vine that gets resurrected.

214
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: I remember Vine. I don't remember Cloud, but I do remember.

215
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a cloud score based on followers and engagement

216
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: and whatever else it was. It was a thing again,

217
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: kind of like that fight. Go look it up as

218
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,160

Speaker 2: by Coastal Today, Anita Mark's out on the East Coast

256
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: celebrating the early afternoon here on a Sunday at Anita

257
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: Marx and we're just getting things cranked up. Oversized cup

258
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: of coffee, getting me going here at swollen home where

259
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: you find me on Twitter. I just tweeted something out

260
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: that we'll get to in a couple of minutes. Teaser.

261
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: It's about books. It's all about reading. Shay Chris making

262
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 2: a sound so pretty Ilo on the update desk. We'll

263
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: hear from Ilo in a couple of minutes. But Anita,

264
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: as we're talking about the ever changing and the blowing

265
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: winds of free agency and the rumor mill. Now we

266
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: get the latest update from Follower and Graziano over at ESPN,

267
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: so we'll kick mister Pavia and his brain size and

268
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: development to next hour. But the colt's trying to navigate

269
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: an interesting piece, and it's the larger land escape of

270
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: if you're doing the rankings of free agency for this

271
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: year that you're shaking your head, going wow, that guy

272
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: ends up in the top ten by default. Huh, And

273
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: that'll tie you into an NBA topic a little bit

274
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: later on as well. But now it's the question of

275
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: franchise tag, transition tag, or a long term extension for

276
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: a currently injured but successful in twenty twenty five quarterback

277
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones and wide receiver Alec Peers, big play threat,

278
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: one of the top three agents at that position, and

279
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: so trying to figure out how you can navigate this

280
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: to retain them both and move into the twenty twenty

281
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: six season. But the team's evidently made it clear to

282
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Pierce that he's going to be a Colt one way

283
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: or another, either through the franchise tag, which we found

284
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: out based on the little grid that went out it's

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: about twenty seven point three million dollars that he would

286
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: get paid to do there, but they'd obviously love a

287
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: long term extension, do the signing bonus, stretch it out,

288
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: all that fun stuff, And then we get to Daniel Jones,

289
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: where it's the larger question of the quarterback carousel and

290
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: market while he's injured and the performance may have slid

291
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: a little for the Colts, and certainly it did down

292
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: the stretch as he played injured before ultimately succumbing to

293
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: the season ender that you've got a quarterback where you

294
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: have proof of concept in your system with what you

295
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: want to do. Franchise tag for peerce. We said twenty

296
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: seven million Jones, it's about forty four. Now the cap

297
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: did go up to three hundred and one million dollars,

298
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: but now it becomes the big deal to try to

299
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: get this done before Tuesday's tag deadline. The Jones line,

300
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: in particular, anita much different than the news that we

301
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: were getting a day ago, where a lot of rumblings

302
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: that it he would get the three for ninety nine

303
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: deal that Sam Darnold got with Seattle a year ago.

304
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and reports that I'm hearing is that the Colts

305
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones's team that they're not close, that Jones

306
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: wants more than what the Colts are offering. Now, let's

307
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: let's rewind, because as you said, I'm here, I'm out

308
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: here in the East Coast. I worked with Giants for

309
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: seven years. I don't any longer, but you know I

310
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: follow the team extremely closely. Four year, one hundred and

311
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: sixty million dollars contract Extenson extension he signed with the

312
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: Giants back in twenty twenty three, eighty two million dollars guaranteed,

313
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: and he could not get out of here fast enough.

314
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: Giants fans clamoring, get out of here. We don't want you.

315
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones sucks. Couldn't even and I kept on telling folks, listen,

316
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: it's not Daniel Jones. It's the team. It's the system.

317
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: They have a horrible offensive line, they don't have a

318
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: legit number one wide receiver. Of course, his last year

319
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: they drafted Milik Neighbors, and then of course, as we know,

320
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: didn't even have Sekwon Barkley in the backfield. So like,

321
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: never had a top tight end, never had great offensive line,

322
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: had Sakwon Barkley, but didn't have a counter wide receiver

323
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: to work with. These are things that quarterbacks need in

324
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: the NFL to have success. Now he goes to the Colts,

325
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 3: right and has a great year. Let's rewind in that

326
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: before he got injured, right, and there was a real

327
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: a lengthy time there that we were talking about Daniel

328
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 3: Jones winning the MVP this season. In fact, at one

329
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: point in time he was favored. Why because he went

330
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: to a great team with a great system and a

331
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: good offensive line and weapons to work with, and also

332
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 3: playing for a head coach slash offensive minded coach that

333
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 3: really took his game to the next level. Here's the thing, Like,

334
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: to me, there's value in that. There's value in that.

335
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: So I don't know what the numbers are. The numbers

336
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: are not being reported. But if I'm Daniel Jones, I'm

337
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking back at my time and my experience here

338
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: in New York with the Giants, and they sold them

339
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: a few bags of lemons, and it was just absolutely

340
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: miserable for him. Then he goes to Indianapolis and he

341
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: has this phenomenal season with the Colts and unfortunately, of course,

342
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: injures his achilles, which again maybe I'm burying the lead

343
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: here as well, Mike right that he's coming into this season,

344
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 3: he more than likely he's not gonna be able to

345
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: start at the start of the season. Maybe Garterer Mitshew

346
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 3: is going to be the starter for the Colts. But

347
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: like at some point in time, and I talk about this,

348
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: you know, not that it's a hometown discount, but there

349
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: are other things in life that are valued when you're

350
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: a professional athlete, and that's playing for a good organization,

351
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: it's playing for a team that you know is going

352
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: to be competitive during the season. It's playing for a

353
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 3: head coach that believes in you. It's playing for an

354
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: owner who cares. It's all those things. And again, I

355
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: don't know what the numbers are, and I'm really curious

356
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 3: what they are. But gosh, I hope Daniel Jones isn't

357
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: being uber selfish here because he really went from rags

358
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 3: to riches overnight by going to the Colts, and to me,

359
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: there should be a bigger appreciation. And do you put

360
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: a value on that. I think he should.

361
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the curiosity. He's a guy that got

362
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: his second contract. So it's not the hey, I'm still pushing.

363
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: I got hurt, and now we're rolling the dice because

364
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: we certainly have plenty of those quarterbacks in the offing

365
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: the last couple of years between Baker Mayfield for a

366
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: short spell decide how many games it actually happened. We

367
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 2: talked about Gino Smith as a reclamation project, and then

368
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: obviously Sam Darnold wins the Super Bowl. So you get

369
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: the wide eyed hey, I can go break the bank

370
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: because I'm one of the free agency quarterback We never

371
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: got anybody that was of any value for years, Like,

372
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: all right, if they're on if they're a free agent,

373
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: then you probably don't want to kick the can down

374
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: the road. Now, guys get second, third, eighth bytes at

375
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: the proverbial apple. For Daniel Jones, you had proof of

376
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: concept when as you say, he had some weapons around him,

377
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: a functional offense. And I don't excuse you. You decide how

378
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: much of the blame pie he gets for the regression,

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: but certainly not loaded with weapons, goes to Indy has

380
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: all those things, and winning, they tell me, is supposed

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: to be the most important thing. So what's the gap?

382
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: Is really the end game here? Is it? Two million

383
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: a year? Is it? You know, some large guarantee that

384
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: we don't know of at this point, but it would

385
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: seem to me Indianapolis. We've heard all the reports. Anthony

386
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: Richardson's been given the opportunity to go seek a trade.

387
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: So he's not on the chessboard going forward most likely.

388
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: But for Daniel Jones, he had great success. Nineteen touchdowns,

389
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: still eight picks. You know that racetio gets folks mad,

390
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 2: but it means you took shots downfield. And when you've

391
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: got a guy like Pierce, you've got Pittman, you've got

392
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren, you've got Jonathan Taylor. You've got an offense

393
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: that's set. And I've been critical and Ballard in some

394
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: of the decisions in the past, but there's no mistaking

395
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: that right now they've got a roster, especially in that division.

396
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: Right As much as we love what Duval and Cohen

397
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: in company did down there in Jacksonville, Houston, I have

398
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: no idea what they've got cooking for this next iteration.

399
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: And I liked some of what I saw from cam Ward,

400
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: but that's a work in progress in Tennessee. The divisions

401
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: there for your your taking. Now. I don't know how

402
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: fast Daniel Jones can get back on the field right

403
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: off of that injury, but it would seem all of

404
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: those factors come in what's going to be a better

405
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: opportunity for you exactly?

406
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: And just like scanning you know the thirty two teams,

407
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: right like, do you really want to go to the Jets?

408
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: Hey again, I'm out here in the New York area.

409
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something you do not the Dolphins.

410
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 3: It seems like Malik Willis is going to be the

411
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: starting quarterback for them next year. We'll see how that

412
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: pans out. The Steelers chances are if Rogers doesn't retire.

413
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: Possibly he goes back there now that you know they

414
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: bring in a head coach that yet again he gives

415
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: the thumbs up to do you want to go play

416
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: for the Browns? Absolutely not. We know the Raiders more

417
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: than likely they're going to drop Mendoza, the Vikings. That

418
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: could be tempting, you know, but you know, we'll see

419
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 3: what happens. Apparently, reports are they haven't given up on

420
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy yet and Arizona, Like I just I feel like,

421
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 3: you know, you're Daniel Jones to me, isn't a really

422
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: good opportunity. He's got a really good spot here. He's

423
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: working with a coach who knows his strengths, knows his weaknesses,

424
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: playing for a team that is able to put a

425
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: you know, a supporting cast around here around him that's

426
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: going to accentuate what he can do. Again, we don't

427
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: know what the numbers are and how far off they are,

428
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: but boy, I'll be really really surprised if Daniel Jones

429
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: goes somewhere else. I don't think that would be a

430
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: wise decision on the on on behalf of his camp.

431
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of those places that you mentioned there, there's

432
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 2: none that stands out as a wow, that this would

433
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: be an upgrade, and Jimmy Garoppolo rumored to be going

434
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: to Arizona. That's starting to gain a little bit of

435
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: traction here. You've got a couple of those trade chips

436
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: and in the larger chess board. UH, when you talk

437
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: about Mac Jones and the contract that he's under, we

438
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: already mentioned Richardson ta and Kyler Murray. Once their team

439
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: respective teams take the UH, swallow the bitter medicine that

440
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: they'll need to UH in terms of cap hits and

441
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: everything else, they move forward. But it's for Daniel Jones,

442
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 2: You're you're in a really good spot with good personnel

443
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: with a three percent state income tax. Look, it's part

444
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: of the deal. There was just a report that, UH,

445
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: there was a baseball free agent who Nick's signing a

446
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: deal down in San Diego based on taxation UH in

447
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: the state of California, said about I'm not doing that

448
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: because they're gonna take all my money. As someone living

449
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: in California, I will verify they do. Well, you're out

450
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: in New York. You understand that. Well, two people that

451
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: understand that very very well. But but for Jones, it's

452
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: you got your second lease on life in what is

453
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: a pretty good spot with the chance to win, surrounded

454
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: by pretty good personnel. Now, Minnesota is interesting deciding what

455
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: they're gonna do because depending on which way the wind's

456
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: blowing at the moment or who flipped the coin, McCarthy's

457
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: either still the future or they hate him. Right, it's

458
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: one or the other. And again I don't think any

459
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: of the postseason comments from folks about how things were handled.

460
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold going out the building didn't happen. You did

461
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: have Daniel Jones, but he wanted a chance to compete,

462
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: so that was never really an option. But remember he

463
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: was in Minnesota after his stint with the Giants, though

464
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: he didn't play. And now you're looking at trying to

465
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: find that next project because you don't want to waste

466
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: any more of justin Jefferson's time with the squad and

467
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: Addison and Hockinson and the weapons that you've amassed there.

468
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: Not that you're in a front running situation there, but

469
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: you are two years off a fourteen win season. But

470
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: is Kirk viable? Is that what we're looking at? I mean,

471
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: there's there's you start going down the list of names

472
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: it gets very strange, very fast.

473
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: You know, knowing that we were going to dive into

474
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: this topic, I spent some time again just en listing,

475
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: you know, the expected, the prediction of the thirty two

476
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the NFL. And you know, you know, obviously

477
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 3: you've got your stars, right, like the Josh Allens, the

478
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's the Patrick Mahomes. Again, chances are he won't

479
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: be able to start the season, will probably be Mariota,

480
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 3: but regardless, you know, And but man, it's just it's

481
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: the state of the NFL. And granted there's only thirty

482
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: two of these positions of you know, dudes that can

483
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: play all over all over like in the world, right,

484
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: that can like hone their craft and become a starting

485
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: NFL quarterback. It's just it's bad. And and you know,

486
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 3: the NFL, we all lives and dies in regard to

487
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: quarterback play. To me, it's the most important position in

488
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: all of professional sport. And I'm sure we can sit

489
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 3: and have like a really fun argument in debate at

490
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: a local watering hole, but to me, it is And

491
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 3: I'm looking around the state of the NFL, and all

492
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: thirty two starting quarterbacks are those that we are predicting

493
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: to be and it's.

494
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Just not good.

495
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, to put the cap on it. Not good? Yeah,

496
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: what's upon a time? We call them the Magnificent seven

497
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: for fantasy purposes, right, they were the only guys that

498
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 2: would get through a season unscathed. The Mannings and Tom

499
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: Brady most years, Drew Brees oftentimes Philip Rivers, and then

500
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: one or two others Matt Ryan, and then occasionally you'd

501
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: be surprised, Hey, that guy's strunging together the two of

502
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: those years. Otherwise, there's been a lot of injuries. Sixty

503
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: five different players through at least one touchdown pass this

504
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: past season. Now that includes your wide receivers and running

505
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: backs and whatever. But the point is nobody gets out alive.

506
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: We'll continue with this as we go through, especially as

507
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: we look at the rookie crop. You got Mendoza and

508
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: then everybody else fighting to say pick me. We'll do

509
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: that in a couple of minutes. But we got Isaac

510
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: Lowancron at the news desk at Isaac Blow and Coron

511
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: where you find him, and he's been looking up reading

512
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: material all morning. What's going on? I Low? Oh, there

513
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: is plenty of that.

514
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 8: Mike and Anita very busy Sunday so far, starting with

515
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 8: the NFL, as the ESPN reported and the Minnesota Items

516
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 8: have informed running back Aaron Jones as well as defensive

517
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 8: tackle Javon Hargrave that they will be released barring a trade.

518
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: Detroit Lyons running back David Montgomery today refuted a separate

519
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: report that claimed he wants to be traded. Montgomery quote

520
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 8: tweeted the post with the comment, quote damn demo told

521
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 8: you that, unquote. In Major League Baseball today, the Saint

522
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 8: Louis Cardinals signed manager Ally Marmold to a two year

523
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 8: extension through twenty twenty eight, with a team option for

524
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 8: twenty twenty nine. At the National Hockey League, the Los

525
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 8: Angeles Kings have just fired head coach Jim Hiller. Finally,

526
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 8: Mike and Anita speaking of hockey last nights Saturday Night

527
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 8: Live monologue by host Connor's story included a surprise cameo

00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 8: appearance from US Men's hockey gold medalists Jack Hughes and

Speaker 6: We're all here.

533
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: It was gonna be just us.

534
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: But we thought we didn't bite the guys too.

535
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, we thought we'd give them a little moment to shine.

536
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 8: Well done, Mike and Anita.

537
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: Back to you, bigg responts. Stay with us Ilo because

538
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: it taps in so Connor's story part of Heated Rivalry. Now,

539
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: for those unaware, it is a look you host trivia

540
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: nights related to this. Anita, we were talking, you're addicted

541
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: to this. I can telling My older daughter is going

542
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: into nursing, but she really loves reality shows and competitions

543
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 2: like there's money to be made. Kid, if you, if

544
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: you got time. But Heated Rivalry is something that had

545
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: the ground swell and became this big moment. And I'll

546
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: tie it to a tweet that I just sent out

547
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: but explained to the good people what he did. Rivalry

548
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: is for those on it not in the.

549
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: Know, well again, this is a family show. I'll do

550
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: my best, okay. So so important to know that he did.

551
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: Rivalry was a show that was funded and filmed in Canada.

552
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: There's a seven of a six book series and they're

553
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: all about gay hockey players and their relationships. This one

554
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: Heated Rivalry book, I think It's Book three is about

555
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: Ilia and Shane. They are two rookie hockey players that

556
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: get drafted number one and number two to Montreal and Boston,

557
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: and the first two series, the first two series are

558
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: about or the shows are about their nine year relationship

559
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: of hooking up with one another while they are in

560
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: their select cities, and then when you get into episodes

561
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: three through six, it's the story about them falling in

562
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: love and it is one of the most beautiful, amazing

563
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: love stories that pools at the heartstrings. You fall in

564
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: love with these two guys. The fact that they are

565
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: easy to look at is definitely a big part of it.

566
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: The fact that they are just really two cool dudes

567
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: that you follow on social media, I think has a

568
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 3: lot to do with it as well. These are No

569
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: one's These are guys that were waiting tables and bartending

570
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: before this show before they got casted for the show.

571
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: So like, these aren't well known actors. So it's again

572
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: a rags to riches story. I'm just sharing all the

573
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: things as to why I think this has become so

574
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: viral and people have fallen in love with the show

575
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: and these two actors and everything around it.

576
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: I just found it curious because I ended up at

577
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: a Barnes and Noble yesterday. And this is where Ilo

578
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: comes in, because we were talking about books and going

579
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: and finding well cheap ways to read a lot either

580
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: hanging out in the Barnes and Noble. Shout out to

581
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: my guy Greg Cosell and his celebration cupcake that he

582
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 2: would get each week as a tradition before the show.

583
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: But I was walking through the Barnes and Noble, Right,

584
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: she's got to get a book for an assignment. I'm

585
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: just kind of wandering around. I ran into a giant

586
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: section of sports romance books. I had no idea. This

587
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: was just such a big Why have I not been

588
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: penning these? I could have even bought the tote bag

589
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: that said I love sports Romance. Well here's that.

590
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: Here's what's fascinating about the show, and that is episodes

591
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: five and six are the second and third most watched

592
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: episodes in the history of television, and the season itself

593
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: has clocked more viewing hours than any show in the

594
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: history of television. Because people have fallen in love with

595
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: this show, people have fallen out in love with this story,

596
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: people have fallen in love with these two characters and

597
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: these two actors, and so they watch it on a loop.

598
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: So you don't just watch this series. Once, you watch

599
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: it seven eight, nine, ten times, you know every word,

600
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: you know every verse, you know every song. So I

601
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: was just like, I'm going to profit from this. And

602
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: so what I've done is I've created my own little

603
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: side business, and in and around New York and New Jersey,

604
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: I host heated rivalry trivia night.

605
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, see there you got on the table.

606
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 8: I feel like a whole new world is opening up

607
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 8: because Mike, you and I were talking about it earlier.

608
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 8: Because as cheap as anybody listening is, I'm cheaper because

609
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 8: I do all my reading by signing up for online library.

610
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 8: So the other day I wanted to borrow the book

611
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 8: that the late great David Halberstam wrote about Michael Jordan,

612
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 8: call Playing for Keeps. And I did a search and

613
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 8: there were literally half a dozen others sports romance novels

614
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 8: with the title Playing for Keeps, all by different authors

615
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 8: about different sports like hockey, soccer, baseball, et cetera. So, Anita,

616
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm tapping in to a whole new world.

617
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 8: So in this in this series, Boston and Montreal the

618
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 8: Bruins and the Canadians are like the most historic rivalry

619
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 8: in history.

620
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: But is it NHL? Are they the Bruins and Canadians

621
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: in this series?

622
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: So they weren't allowed to use any of the NHL.

623
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: So so it's so yeah for that right? So it

624
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 5: is the Boston Raiders the Raiders. It was the Boston Raiders.

625
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: And I should know this since I since I host trivia.

626
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: Are the Boston will the Montreal Metro? I think it's

627
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: Montreal Metros.

628
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 8: Are the Boston Raiders as bad as the Las Vegas

629
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 8: Raiders in real life?

630
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 9: No?

631
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: Because again, like you know, and and another interesting think

632
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: about the story is is that this starts back in

633
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: like two thousand, like two thousand and nine, and and

634
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: both their teams like throughout and it's like it's it's

635
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: like a nine to ten year hookup fest throughout there

636
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 3: you go, they're ten, all right.

637
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: There we go, we get a full decade, a full career.

638
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: As love and through and throughout their competing to win

639
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: the Cup and and and it's and it's it's it's

640
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: very competitive between the two of them.

641
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: So there you go at Anita Marks where you find

00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: up at the top of your screen. Now, as we

668
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: get closer to the end of the NBA season, I

669
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: know it wasn't it just the All Star break. Yes,

670
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: we're coming down the stretch. Twenty ish games, couple of

671
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: Markey events later on today. We'll cover those with some

672
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: Anita picks next hour as we roll into a big

673
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: sports Sunday. But one of the thing that is gaining

674
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: a lot of oxygen outside of tanking is its tangential

675
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: relationship to the betting markets and the awards season. Now

676
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: we've got the former Duke teammates that will fight flagging

677
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: to nipple before it's done, and the run Charlotte's on

678
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: right now has been fantastic. But the MVP odds are

679
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: interesting because you might have a winner by attrition, right,

680
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: just play enough games and away you go. As it stands,

681
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: Shay gilges Alexander minus two sixty that implies a seventy

682
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 2: two percent chance of winning. Nicola Jokic kind of surprised.

683
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: We didn't have more discussion coming out of Friday Nights

684
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: fracas of potentially him serving as suspension, which would probably

685
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: I think that would be the last game he'd be

686
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: able to miss of the final twenty. And then you

687
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: get to Cunningham when beIN Yama, Jalen Brown, and then

688
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: really deep Luka Donovan Mitchell, Jalen browne all the way

689
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: down at five hundred to one for him, Wen beIN

690
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: Yama at twenty five to one. Jalen Brown is back

691
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: out to sixty five to one today. He was forty

692
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: to one when I got off the air Friday night.

693
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: But Kate Cunningham's the guy that I have circled, and

694
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: I believe you do too, based on Detroit. It may

695
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: not be the sexy storyline, but Detroit sure is effective.

696
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, Mike, I don't know where you

697
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: stand with it, Like I'm not a really big supporter

698
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 3: of the whole sixty five game mark, the minimum minimum

699
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: threshold for eligibility, Like like I wish they would do

700
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: away with it, but you know, it is what it is.

701
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 3: It's here, SGA and we've heard the thunder come out

702
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: and say listen, we're in it to win, you know,

703
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: a championship. We're not in it to get SGA his

704
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: MVP title. And we know that he's you know, with

705
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: the number of games, what are they twenty twenty one left.

706
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: You know, he's still dealing with that oblique injury. So

707
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 3: to me, there's no value in that right at minus

708
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: two sixty or two seventy five, wherever it's at. With Jokic,

709
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: I'm with you, like the fact that he only he

710
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: can only miss one more game. To me, I'm staying

711
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: away from it, even though five to one. Listen, now,

712
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 3: if if in fact he doesn't miss another game, keep

713
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: in mind, Denver has four back to back games remaining. Okay, four,

714
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: So but if Kic does not miss any more games,

715
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: to me, hands done. You know, like he's he's just

716
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: he's unbelievable. You know, he's he's to me, he's the

717
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: best player in the league. But I'm with you, I

718
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of value with kid right averaging

719
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: twenty five points a game, ten assist. This is a

720
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: Detroit team, number one in the East. Voters love that story.

721
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 3: And he's got he can miss, He's got six games,

722
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 3: so he's he's got some space there that he can

723
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 3: he can miss. Don't sleep on Wimby, especially if the

724
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: Spurs can really realistically pressure Okac and become the number

725
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: one seed in the West. And that's a twenty five

726
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 3: to one. Those are some good odds. But I'm gonna

727
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 3: leave you with this. Why isn't any Why aren't more

728
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: people talking about Jalen Brown at forty to one? Okay,

729
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 3: people just didn't even give the Celtics a thought the

730
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: fact that Tait wasn't gonna play at least hopefully it

731
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: comes back for the postseason. But no holiday, no hor

732
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: for no KP. People just wrote off the Celtics. Dude

733
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 3: has been balling, averaging over thirty two points, eight rebound,

734
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 3: seven assists, three steals against the Lakers the other night,

735
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown forty to one. Throw five dollars on it.

736
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be the first time I've ever agreed

737
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: with Lebron James on something because Jason Smith and I

738
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: we proffered the the Jalen Brown story a couple of

739
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: weeks ago, just saying we need to pay more attention

740
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: to this Eastern Conference. Look, the Knicks take up a

741
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: lot of the air. And then we've talked about the

742
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: West a lot. When we talk about Wemby, we talk

743
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: about Jokich. Jokich is the he the unfortunate victim of

744
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: circumstance to a of Yeah, he's just it's Jokisch. That's

745
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 2: just what he does. Even with no Aaron Gordon still

746
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: going out, Michael Porter Junior's gone, and they've changed out

747
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: some of the principles, just you know, finding that next

748
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: sexy story and star that you can sell, and maybe

749
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 2: Detroit basketball getting back in the mix is good for everybody.

750
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 2: At Anita Marks where you find her on Twitter, find

751
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,160

752
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 2: back into the NFL combine. Who do we like at

00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: As we get ready, we'll talk NFL combine and who

769
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 2: wants to be the man behind Mendoza and whether Mendoza

770
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: should be the number one. We'll get to that in

771
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: just a minute, but we do have NBA action getting

772
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: ready to go one of the marquee games of the day,

773
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: bright and early here with the Spurs at last, I

774
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: see a one point favorite two twenty seven and a

775
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 2: half year total on the road at Madison Square Garden

776
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: and the Knicks and Jalen Bronson.

777
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the Spurs here. I like them on

778
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: the money line and you can give that at minus

779
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 3: one twenty five For folks are listening, what does that mean, Well,

780
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: you're laying one hundred and twenty five dollars down to

781
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: one hundred against Knicks. You know, Wimby just loves the

782
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: big stage, nothing bigger than the Madison Square Garden right,

783
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 3: so big Vic in the Big Apple. The Spurs team.

784
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 3: I like their depth, their first in the NBA and

785
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 3: defensive rebound rate. Also, as we talked about just a

786
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: second ago, right, like their ability to stay on the

787
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: heels of Oka see potentially to grab that number one

788
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: seed in the West. Meanwhile, the Knicks perimeter oriented team,

789
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: and so this isn't a great matchup for them, right

790
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: The Spurs of the six lowest opponent opponent opponent three

791
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: point rate, get it out, Anita. And also they are

792
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: no winner, not good against teams that are very good

793
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 3: in transition defense, which the Spurs are. So I like

794
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 3: the Spurs on the money line. And my favorite prop

795
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: bet is Devin Vassel over twelve and a half total points.

796
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: He's averaging seventeen points a game playing thirty minutes if

797
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: not more, and he's put over twenty twelve points up

798
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: in four of his last five games. So that would

799
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 3: be my favorite prep bet in today's matchup. Hashtag run

800
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 3: don't walk.

801
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: Tip off is right now imminent imminent Spurs two games

802
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: behind Okay see six game gap I had of Houston

803
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: Houston loss yesterday in one of those games you had

804
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: to seek out on one of the many subscription services

805
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: that you may have on your cable bills and credit

806
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: card receipts, i e. You get packages delivered every now

807
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: and again from the truck from the Amazon folks. So

808
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 2: that ended up being one of my companions during the

809
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon. I always love watching Kevin Durant go to

810
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: work because it looks like he's playing in slow motion

811
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 2: at this time with Spurs. You also talk about the

812
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 2: fact that, well, the Knicks don't play a whole lot

813
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: of defense two fifths, kind of like the Lakers here

814
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: on this coast. You don't think you're getting a full

815
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: buy in on the defensive end of the court. But

816
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: what's curious, you know, talking about the gambling analysis going forward,

817
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: we talked a little about the MVP odds Last Hour,

818
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 2: Find the podcast wherever you get your audio. We appreciate

819
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: you being with us, But handicap, he's got to be

820
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: a little minute to minute these last twenty games as well.

821
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: Who's in, who's out out, who's getting scheduled for a surgery,

822
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: who's willing to take the one hundred thousand dollars fine,

823
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: I e. The The shoulder tap that Adam Silver and

824
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 2: the office administers. I mean, really, one hundred grand, Yeah,

825
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: that's going to stop me aar watch, I'm gonna sit

826
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: three more guys. And that's been the response from the Jazz,

827
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: the Bacers and others. But handicapping has to take on

828
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: a different form the final quarter of the season. If

829
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: I if I'm led to believe based on the way

830
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: the odds are changing and a number of these markets.

831
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of times, you know, specifically when

832
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: it comes to the NBA, you know, it's it's hard

833
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: sometimes because you know you're you're getting last minute players

834
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 3: that that are are not playing, so as opposed to

835
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 3: the NFL, where it's ninety minutes right and and pretty

836
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 3: much on Thursday, the NFL puts out their injury list,

837
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: whether probable, questionable, doubtful, whatever the case. So on Thursday

838
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 3: you kind of have an idea, you know, what's happening

839
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: with that player? Are they going to be ready to

840
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 3: go on Sunday? And then you definitely know ninety minutes

841
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 3: before the game. So it's just you know, for the

842
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: NBA and handicapping and looking at those odds and trying

843
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 3: to get a feel for what's happening. You really have

844
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 3: to pay attention all the way up to tip off.

845
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 2: What is funny, right because we go to the MVP

846
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 2: and we talked about the sixty five game threshold, which,

847
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: like you had, you tried to put something in place.

848
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: Does it work? No, because in the end, teams that

849
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: are vying for a title, they'll they'll make it up

850
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 2: to the play. Sorry, you didn't get that MVP award.

851
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 2: The championship looks better. History remembers those a lot more.

852
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: But down the stretch for Shay Gilt, just Alexander and

853
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 2: if Jokic is still in the mix in the final week,

854
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: what's to say they don't just go out on the

855
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: court for a minute and then I strained my calf, oop,

856
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 2: I tweaked my back. You got your game played and

857
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: now you're out like that. That's where we start getting

858
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: into potential for these these uneasy relationships that have been

859
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: forged with betting markets. Now you have the prediction markets

860
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: and the Calshi market, perfect information at times. Jannis Johannis, that's.

861
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 3: An entire Mike, that's an entire show.

862
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: No, but that's what I made right, So like it,

863
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: it's this emerging space right from you already have these

864
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: relationships and things you're trying to manage and investigate. And

865
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: we've certainly seen that in every sport, right, every sport

866
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: has been affected, going all the way back to point

867
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 2: shaving scandals thirty five years ago. Hell I remember my

868
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 2: guys at Northwestern in the mid nineties, going back to

869
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: when I was in school. But all of that to say,

870
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: you now have that predictions market, and remember all leading

871
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 2: into the trade deadline with Giannis and tennecoupo. Will he

872
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: be there, will he be gone? What's gonna happen? And

873
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: then he announces he's got some partnership ownership, et cetera,

874
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: and the NBA just kind of goes, nah, it's under

875
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: the threshold. I'm like, that's fine, there's still well, it

876
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: looks improper, it feels improper, and anything that's going to

877
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: erode customer confidence in the games that you're playing. How

878
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: stuff is reported, going back to the injury reports, a

879
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: lot of those. Until the guy's on the court, on

880
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 2: the field, on the ice, I'll take it with a

881
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: grain of salt. Right, if he's on the report, we'll

882
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: wait and see. Because we've certainly seen enough lying with

883
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: that as well. Even in the NFL. They give you

884
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 2: the ninety minutes, but even that can be massaged at times.

885
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: So it's when we're talking about in game and prop bets,

886
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: we've kind of hit a very strange place and Calshi

887
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: has exacerbated those concerns.

888
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, another thing about Calshi and polymarket

889
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 3: and where really the state of our gambling is headed

890
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: to be quite frank unless our government does something different

891
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 3: with it, is that you know, just similar to like

892
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 3: insider training trading with the stock market, if you have

893
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: insider information with with certain players and teams and coaches

894
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 3: and knowing you know this player is not going to play,

895
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 3: but isn't going to be reported until ninety minutes before

896
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: before game time, you can go on you know, a

897
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: cashie or a poly market and you could buy you know,

898
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles minus two and a half. But maybe

899
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: in the back of your head, you know, you know

900
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 3: that a certain player isn't going to play, you know,

901
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: and and then so you can you can you can

902
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: buy those odds and buy a number of shares of

903
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 3: those odds when you have some insider information. That's that's

904
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 3: why it's it's that's why it's difficult, and it's very

905
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 3: very tricky.

906
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: It's in a weird space because you're asking the government

907
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: to step in when we know for sure, Hey, which

908
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: way is that bill leaning? And we watch exactly markets

909
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: and companies and stocks for years, right.

910
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 3: Did you did? There's a report out there, and again

911
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: it's just you know, allegedly we need to say that.

912
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, well that's how you kind of cover yourself yet, right, right, right.

913
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 3: Allegedly, there was a group of politicians that were sitting

914
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 3: at a bar in Washington, d C. That we're talking

915
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 3: about the potential strike on Iran a few hours before

916
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: it happened, and word got out and somebody went on

917
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 3: a prediction market and at that point in time, it

918
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 3: was like a seventeen percent chance that the United States

919
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 3: was going to bomb Iran, and apparently the individual made

920
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 3: you know, half a million dollars.

921
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: But that's just it, right. It's pieces of information like

922
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 2: that that that change marketplaces, changed lives. And we can

923
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: all debate the morality, legality and all of those things

924
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 2: being sussed out, but it certainly is a new world.

925
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: As related to the betting markets getting ready for tip

926
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 2: off here, the introductions in pomp and circumstance and pageantry

927
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: spurs winners of eleven in a row getting ready to

928
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: take on the Knicks. As we get going, we've got

929
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: the NFL Combine, had ad a couple of great stories

930
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: that started making the rounds. Well, we'll talk about the

931
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in particular in the next segment, but one of

932
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: the stories, and I think it ties a little bit

933
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: to just the changing face when we talk sports gambling,

934
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: but also just college sports in general. The number of

935
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,280
Speaker 2: players that had to be asked about why they decided

936
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 2: to go to the NFL Combine and the draft and

937
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: the NFL versus school hopping and collecting another paycheck is

938
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 2: just wild things that you would have told a little

939
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: ten year old Mikey Harmon would never happen. No, that

940
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 2: guy's going for four years and then he's going to

941
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 2: take his best opportunity to the draft, or he's going

942
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 2: to become a Carpenter's that's it, that's all he's got.

943
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 2: Versus now it's like, well, you could stay and go

944
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 2: make another six to eight million in some circumstances, maybe

945
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 2: you know, much smaller for a lot of other players,

946
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: but just the idea of the certainty of hey, we

947
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 2: still want you to be on our offensive or defensive line,

948
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: run the football for us, versus go to the pros,

949
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: where your fortune, unless you're one of those elite prospects,

950
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: could all of a sudden become a Day three opportunity

951
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 2: at best. Right, we can look squarely at Shador Sanders

952
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 2: a year ago, how much different the scale was between

953
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 2: what was expected and what occurred during those three days.

954
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: But now the fact that these NFL prospects at the combine,

955
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 2: and we've got the footage on now as the O

956
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 2: linemen are running their paces at the forties. Again, something

957
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: that if I've got a guy that's big and hulking,

958
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 2: can he give me the five yards that I need?

959
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't need him to run forty. It'd be nice

960
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 2: if you could lead the caravan. But all of that

961
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: to say, one of the drills you still go through.

962
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: But for the prospects to be asked that question is

963
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: just a wild turn of events.

964
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 3: Well, here's an interesting stat for you. From twenty seventeen

965
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 3: to twenty twenty two, no fewer than ninety eight players

966
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 3: left college early for the NFL. Last year, it dipped

967
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 3: down to fifty five this year. It's sixty three, and

968
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 3: you mentioned Sirdora Sanders when he was at Colorado. I've

969
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 3: got one even better for you. What about Carson Beck

970
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: at the University of Miami living in Coconut Grove, just

971
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 3: a stone throw from South Beach, making four point three

972
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 3: million dollars and not having to take a single class.

973
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's just it, right, when he was prepping for

974
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 2: the jams Hey class is like, i'ven't been a student

975
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: for two years. Yeah, which is a whole other thing. Right,

976
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: That student athlete thing got blown out. I mean it

977
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 2: was a charade for the most part for many many years.

978
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: By now we don't even pretend, right, So.

979
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 3: If you're a Carson Beck, would you rather live in

980
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 3: like a party town where you're a big fish, right,

981
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: and you're making over four million dollars a year and

982
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: you're playing for a team that more than likely is

983
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 3: going to win their conference, let alone compete for a

984
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 3: national championship, or go through the you know, the trials

985
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 3: and tribulations, the combine getting drafted, going to play for

986
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 3: an NFL team, and if you're up there and you're

987
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 3: a pretty high pick, chances are you're going to play

988
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 3: for a crappy team, because that's why they've got a

989
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 3: top five or top ten pick. So yeah, if I'm

990
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 3: Carson Beck and I have an opportunity to make over

991
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 3: four million dollars and live, you know, the high life

992
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: on South Beach and not take a single class and

993
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: play for the University of Miami, what would you do, Mike?

994
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: I could? I could delay it a year to get

995
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: my six million exactly exactly what's the old Melon camp line?

996
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 2: And look, you take whatever whatever the speeches in concert are,

997
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: whichever side you're on there, take that. But he w's saying, oh,

998
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: hold on to sixteen as long as you can. Changes

999
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: come around real soon, make you women and men. And

1000
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 2: that goes for college athletes too. You can't put the

1001
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 2: genie back in the bottle. Then he try and go

1002
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 2: get multiple degrees to hide from the real world, but

1003
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 2: eventually it will find you as well as those loan

1004
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 2: to it loan debts.

1005
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: Here's something really interesting I just want to share with you,

1006
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: and that is Texas quarterback Arch Manning. And of course

1007
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 3: we know the Manning family right like talk about like

1008
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 3: generational wealth. I get that, okay, so very different. But

1009
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 3: last year I want to say he was making six

1010
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 3: point eight million dollars in NIL deals arch Manning as

1011
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 3: the quarterback for Texas. But get this, he took a

1012
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 3: page out of the Tom Brady playbook because now this

1013
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 3: year he's earning three point five million in NIL because

1014
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 3: he wants to help the Longhorns pursue better and more

1015
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 3: talent for him to win a national championship with the

1016
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 3: expectation this being the life season, he's going to plan

1017
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 3: that he will be. He will come out and be

1018
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 3: eligible for the NFL Draft in twenty twenty seven.

1019
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, to be Altruism's a four letter word.

1020
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: That's the get me better players around me. And this

1021
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: also looks good to the front offices. Look at what

1022
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: I am. I'm a team guy exactly exactly. So there

1023
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: you go. Yeah, just an interesting turn. And there's a

1024
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: number of quotes that are out there, players being asked

1025
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 2: about those decisions. One of those we'll get to as

1026
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 2: we talk about the vying for the number two quarterback

1027

1049
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: early Wemby with a great fake left cat. I think

1050
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: he lost his shorts, his shoes, and his ankles as

1051
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 2: he drove to the hole for the Donk fourteen to

1052
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 2: five midway through the first quarter. As we roll through,

1067
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: We already had the David Montgomery, well where'd you hear

1068
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: that that I want out of Detroit kind of thing

1069
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 2: with some of the reports and silly season, certainly from

1070
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 2: the late nights at Saint Elmo's and other watering holes

1071
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 2: around Indianapolis. But what wasn't well, it's kind of silly,

1072
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 2: and which is why I bring it up Diego Pavia.

1073
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: One of our polarizing would be second quarterbacks, and I

1074
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 2: bring him up, the Heisman runner up. The lot of

1075
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 2: highlight reels of him throwing dimes and everybody was doing

1076
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: their flips and doing their best gymnastics as they walked

1077
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: off the field the last couple of days, but he

1078
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: took to the podium and interviewing being part of the process.

1079
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: One of these quotes is unlike anything I've ever heard

1080
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 2: from a prospect.

1081
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 9: One thing about me is I don't care what people

1082
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 9: think about me. The way the media is is they're

1083
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 9: supposed to put out you know, clickbait and things like that.

1084
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 9: That's how people get views, and that's how.

1085
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: People make money.

1086
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 9: I understand that, and so like people will twist a

1087
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 9: story and try to put out bad meta to get clicks,

1088
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 9: good meeda to get clicks. That's just what today's world

1089
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 9: that we live in. So I'm I'm just adjusting to

1090
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 9: the new world. Coach Lee always preached that you know

1091
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 9: you're not your front of love isn't fully developed until

1092
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 9: you're twenty five, and I just turned twenty four, so

1093
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 9: I got like three hundred and sixty more days to go.

1094
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I want. And I've got questions about

1095
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 2: the guy's maturity. Man, I got another three hundred and

1096
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: sixty days before you can hold me accountable for any

1097
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 2: of my actions. Now, i'd always heard that, I don't

1098
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 2: know that I've ever been able to apply that to

1099
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 2: my personal life. Maybe, Anita, you had greater success with

1100
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: that pre twenty five brain development argument with your family,

1101
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: friends and we're and coworkers, et cetera. But for Pavia,

1102
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 2: the first half, okay, fine, it's not a new world order.

1103
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 2: That's what we've been and that's what he's grown up in,

1104
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: so that's not new. I did like that he actually

1105
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,479
Speaker 2: talked about that it can be used for positive because

1106
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 2: we don't often get that. But the second part about

1107
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 2: the brain development. If I'm vying to tell someone, I

1108
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: need you to use a day to draft choice on

1109
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 2: me because I'm that guy against all of these others,

1110
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: against Simpson, against the aforementioned Carson Beck and whomever else,

1111
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 2: nuss Meyer and whatever. That's not the quote that's gonna

1112
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: win you many fans. I would think in those war rooms.

1113
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 3: I'll go one step further for him to say that

1114
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 3: he doesn't care what people think about him. Well, okay,

1115
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 3: if you're playing wide receiver, okay, if you're playing defensive end.

1116
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 3: But if the position you want to play in the

1117
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 3: NFL is starting quarterback, you better give a damn what

1118
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 3: people think about you. You better care what the ownership

1119
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 3: thinks about you. You better care what your head coach

1120
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 3: thinks about you. You better care what your teammates think

1121
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 3: about you. You better care what your fan base think

1122
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 3: about you. Because as a starting quarterback in the NFL,

1123
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 3: you are the face of the franchise. So if I

1124
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 3: am an owner, if I'm a general manager, if I'm

1125
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 3: a head coach, and I hear that comment to me, Mike,

1126
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: that's what's sticking out to me. And so yeah, no, no,

1127
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 3: thank you pass.

1128
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking back. Just the other day we commemorated the

1129
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: what the fourteenth anniversary of Pete Weber. Who do you

1130
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: think you are? I am, Well, that's kind of pavia

1131
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 2: in the moment. Part of it, I think is the

1132
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: noise maybe he's referring to but yeah, you've got to

1133
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: be you got to kill him with kindness, right? How

1134
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 2: did it? And there it is, little callback kid. You

1135
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 2: want to talk about a guy who has made millions

1136
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 2: of dollars with that inscription. Many of the card companies

1137
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 2: over the years have been like, hey, you got to

1138
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 2: add that. It's like, yeah, for a fee, how many

1139
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 2: autographed signings? Hey add the extra forty to fifty bucks

1140
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 2: for that inscription, especially because it starts getting long. Right,

1141
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 2: that's not just an MVP season. I mean that's a

1142
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 2: whole quote that you're asking me to take the time on.

1143
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 3: So you got that going, and let me just say, like, like,

1144
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm all about swag, right, I'm all about confidence again.

1145
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm out here on the East Coast. I followed the

1146
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 3: Giants and the Jets closely because it's my job to

1147
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 3: do so. Love Jackson's dart swag, love his confidence. I

1148
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 3: wish that he would play a little bit wiser so

1149
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 3: that you know, he can last the season. We'll see

1150
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 3: how John Harball does attack that with him.

1151
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 2: Did anybody go as a blue tent but Halloween? No?

1152
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, that that that could be a good one

1153
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 3: next October. So I'm just I'm just prefacing by saying

1154
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 3: there's one thing about having confidence in swag that is

1155
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: attractive and I and I think it is very attractive

1156
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: in Jackson Dart. I mean listen, very high selling NFL jersey.

1157
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 3: You know, there's he's fun to watch, but I just

1158
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 3: there's something about Diego that kind of to me, pushes

1159
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 3: me across the line and and is not attractive.

1160
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 2: There's a there's a positivity that comes across with Dark.

1161
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 2: It's dark, it's confidence, it's swagger with Pavia. Part of

1162
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 2: it might be the let's let's face it as as

1163
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 2: a short man myself, my Napoleon complex does come through

1164
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 2: at times that maybe he's trying to make up for

1165
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 2: what isn't going to be there in the measurables, saying look,

1166
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm that guy, I'm that intense U. But to the

1167
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: point where he was going back at Heisman Trophy voters

1168
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 2: calling him dopes for not winning and every anything else.

1169
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: But you know at some point that that comes against you.

1170
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Look at Baker Mayfield in his time in Cleveland, not

1171
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 2: that it was ever going to be easy working and

1172
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: playing for the Cleveland Browns, but we do know passionate

1173
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: and good fan base, aggressive media, and Baker fought with everybody.

1174
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 2: He was fighting with my co host Jason Smith. He

1175
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 2: had the long battle back and forth with Colin Cowhard

1176
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 2: for the network like that that just lived and it

1177
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 2: was free content. And I don't know how much you

1178
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: could say it affected him because that team was never

1179
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 2: really built very well defensively. They've always seemed to get

1180
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 2: it right to a degree. But all of that, Baker,

1181
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 2: it took multiple stops before he finally became that guy

1182
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 2: to breakthrough. Get that prove yourself deal in Tampa and

1183
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 2: take a shot.

1184
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 3: But also, don't don't you feel don't you feel like

1185
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 3: he ate a little bit of humble pie eventually, like once,

1186
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 3: like like once, we saw the humility kind of seep

1187
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 3: in a little bit.

1188
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 2: But he had some commercials you make fun of yourself

1189
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: a little bit, and he changed in his off field

1190
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 2: already matured a lot, And that's part of it. Like

1191
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 2: him using the hey, I'm only twenty four, not yet

1192
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 2: twenty five. I mean this is a musical going in

1193
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: sixteen going on said no, it's not that you're twenty

1194
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 2: four going on twenty five. You're a grown ass man,

1195
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,959
Speaker 2: So act like it. Add Anita Bartes where you find

1196
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 2: her on Twitter. Find me over at Swollen Dome. Time

1197
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 2: to take a turn to the news desk, for an

1198
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,960

01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 2: sporting world. Our colleague at the News Desk co hosts

Speaker 2: you find her in the twitter verse. What's up?

1202
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 6: What's up?

1203
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 10: Guys, Good morning on this Sunday, A full day with

1204
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 10: NBA games, which you know, I like, I know, I

1205
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 10: know the NBA product sucks. Guy, I still watch it.

1206
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 10: I know I do still watch it. I do still

1207
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 10: enjoy it. We've got the first game under away from

1208
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 10: Madison Square Garden right now. The Spurs lead the Knicks

1209
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 10: nineteen to eleven. It's late in the first quarter. Victor

1210
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 10: went Binyama leading the way for San Antonio's. He's got

1211
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 10: six points all ready. But it's a full day of

1212
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 10: NBA all right. When it comes to the NFL, ESPN

1213
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 10: reports of Vikings seven form running back Aaron Jones and

1214
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 10: defensive tackle Javon Hargrave that, barring a trade, they're going

1215
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 10: to be released at the start of the.

1216
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 6: League year this month.

1217
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 10: Lines running back David Montgomery took it to social media

1218
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 10: and refuted a claim that he wants out of Detroit,

1219
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 10: so he took care of that quickly. When it comes

1220
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 10: to baseball, the Cardinals have agreed to a two year

1221
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 10: contract extension with manager Allie Marmel, and he has a

1222
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 10: club option for the twenty twenty nine season.

1223
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 6: Also, Yankees pitcher Ryan Yarborough has.

1224
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 10: Been added to the USA's active roster for the World

1225
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 10: Baseball Classic. The pole play for that starts on Wednesday,

1226
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 10: March fourth. In the NHL, the Kings of far Jim Hiller.

1227
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 10: They're head coach and have named Dj Smith interraim head

1228
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 10: coach for the remainder of the season. Right now, in

1229
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 10: the NHL, one game underway, it's the Golden Knights and

1230
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 10: the Penguins, and the Penguins are of one zero with

1231
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 10: less than one minute to go in.

1232
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 6: The first period. We do have golf.

1233
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 10: The Cognizant Classic is underway, final round.

1234
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 6: But the leaders right now, I'm not teed off. They're

1235
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 6: supposed to tee off soon.

1236
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 10: But you know how this can be pushed back Shane Lowry,

1237
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 10: Austin Smotherman. They're in the lead at thirteen under par. Overall,

1238
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 10: back to you, guys.

1239
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 2: I celebrate the NBA. We we just want to know

1240
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 2: on a nightly basis. Monsei the over under of games

1241
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 2: that'll finish within a ten point differential.

1242
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 10: Oh, I think that depends, but I wish the number

1243
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 10: is much higher than I want.

1244
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: It to be, or much small small.

1245
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's too many that are not going to be close.

1246
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1247
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 2: Well, later on though, we get both LA teams.

1248
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 6: To catch right, that's right, let's go clips.

1249
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: It's so surging Pelicans, that's right, that's right. Whether Zion's

1250
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 2: available after that ankles.

1251
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 3: Probably not.

1252
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 6: I mean, just based on him, his style.

1253
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 10: If he tweaked it, I'm assuming they're probably going to

1254
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 10: hold him off.

1255
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 2: Sacher Man going to be able to field five guys

1256
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 2: let alone.

1257
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 6: It's just going to be Russell Westbrook against the Lakers. Okay,

1258
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 6: that's it. I think it's a you might get a

1259
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 6: triple double.

1260
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 3: That's a fair fight.

1261
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 6: I agree. I agree the bounce exactly.

1262
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 2: At Mantiblaudios where you find her in the Twitter verse,

1263
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 2: next Bonzi as we roll on, Yeah, full slate of

1264
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 2: NBA action, and I love the Marquee matchup. Certainly bring

1265
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: us to the to the table. Wehmbin Yama Bronson a

1266
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: fun little battle at the garden. As we keep eye

1267
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 2: an eye on that and all the action here Fox

1268
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, We've got your full service. But in terms

1269
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: of the the quarterbacks for the draft, it becomes the

1270
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 2: the question of how much do you love any of them?

1271
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 2: And there's things you like. Certainly Mendoza carries himself well.

1272
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 2: Hero is welcome Combine in Indiana, so any place he went,

1273
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 2: he's getting the bye God faced against the glass there.

1274
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 2: He is kind of thing. I remember when Tim Tebow

1275
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: was making the rounds early on and he was, you know,

1276
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: getting that same response and everybody, hey, I had my

1277
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: moment with Tibo, but the rest of the quarterbacks trying

1278
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 2: to y vy for their attention. Ty Simpson, Hey, I'm

1279
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 2: that guy. I should be considered as such. And it

1280
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: couldn't hurt my legacy by going to another school. All right,

1281
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Maybe a bridge too far there, given you haven't played

1282
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 2: a lot of games, But the point is been in

1283
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 2: the program, even without the games played in a storied program.

1284
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Maybe looks a little different than the short tenure of

1285
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 2: a guy like Anthony Richardson. You know, when we start

1286
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 2: comparing how deep and how many starts you have at

1287
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 2: the collegiate level moving to the next. But Mendoza is

1288
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 2: also a guy. Maybe for him, but also for where

1289
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 2: the Raiders are of how much you just want a

1290
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 2: phase for your franchise versus building towards the future. Because

1291
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 2: is the Mendoza good enough to where you'd have a team,

1292
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 2: say the Jets or someone else, want to make a

1293
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 2: deal and give you enough to where you can start

1294
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: really building the base before the twenty twenty seven class.

1295
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 3: Listen, I like Mendoza. I think this is the perfect

1296
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 3: storm in that you have a unique case of there

1297
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 3: being a quarterback desperate team that's drafting first overall with

1298
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 3: no other viable quarterback in the conversation. With all due

1299
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 3: respect to Ty Simpson, so you know, I think to

1300
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 3: me is if I was a team that was not

1301
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 3: in need of a quarterback, would I be drafting Mendoza? No,

1302
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 3: I would be looking to trade down. What would a

1303
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 3: team be willing to give up to move up to

1304
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 3: get him? You know, keep in mind, you know he's

1305
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 3: coming from an Indiana team that had a phenomenal offensive line,

1306
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 3: great rushing game, great weapons around him. Let's keep in

1307
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 3: mind if he does go to the Raiders, right, they

1308
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 3: were twenty eighth in pressure rate. Okay, they are twenty

1309
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 3: ninth in regard to running back being able to get

1310
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 3: through the line of scrimmage, So thirty two percent of

1311
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 3: the carries for their running backs they were met bey

1312
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 3: hind the line of scrimmage. That is a horrible part

1313
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 3: of an equation, especially for a rookie quarterback and a

1314
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 3: team that you know, I would imagine trying to incorporate

1315
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 3: some play action and twenty fifth in pressure rate with

1316
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 3: not with a team not blitzing. So now you know,

1317
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 3: do you really have a sample size mic of a

1318
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 3: Mendosa quarterback who to me is not a number one

1319
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 3: overall pick, is not a top five pick, but has

1320
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 3: played in what we've seen the game tape that we've

1321
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 3: seen because of the talent in the team that he's

1322
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 3: played for in Indiana. How is that going to resonate?

1323
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 3: How is that going to transfer going to a team

1324
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 3: like the Raiders that he's not going to have the

1325
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 3: pass protection, he's not going to have a running back

1326
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 3: that's going to be able to have any success running

1327
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: the football because they don't have a very good offensive line.

1328
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 3: So to me, I just think this is the perfect

1329
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 3: storm for him, and I do believe he'll go number

1330
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 3: one overall, And I do believe he'll go to the Raiders,

1331
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 3: but it's because the Raiders are desperate for a quarterback

1332
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 3: and there is nobody else that's coming out the season

1333
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 3: that even could hold a candle to Mendosa.

1334
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 2: It's the old shiny shiny object kind of thing. It

1335
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 2: off feuw skates from what else is going on. You've

1336
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 2: got a top player in Brock Bowers. Ashton Genty had

1337
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 2: a really good year as a runner and receiver despite

1338
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 2: that bad offensive line. I know it wasn't the Bonker

1339
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 2: season the fantasy owners.

1340
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 3: Now for I actually I have him as the most

1341
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 3: disappointing fantasy football player last year because a number of

1342
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 3: people drafted him number one overall, expecting him to have

1343
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 3: a great stone.

1344
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 2: There are a bunch of dopes. If they drafted him

1345
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 2: first overall, it.

1346
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 3: Was sorry, I'm sorry, not number one overall, but in

1347
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 3: the first round his average his average draft position was somewhere.

1348
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 2: Around seven or eight. Yeah, six to.

1349
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 3: Eight, six to nine, that's where he went. So to me,

1350
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 3: he was the most disappointing player in last year's fantasy football.

1351
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: I'd have to go back and see who. I'm sure

1352
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 2: I did. The airing of the grievances on a podcast,

1353
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 2: the I Watch Flex podcast, Dan Bayer, myself, Ian Roddy

1354
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 2: as well. We did our top sixty for next year,

1355
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 2: already pending all the free agency moves in chaos, but

1356
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 2: in the interim, giving you a little bit of a glimpse,

1357
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 2: but you go through. I mean, he's a guy that's

1358
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 2: still finished with thirteen hundred total yards and what ten

1359
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: total touchdowns? I mean, that's that's a pretty damn good year.

1360
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 2: Did it happen when people needed it too?

1361
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 9: No?

1362
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 2: But overall, based on what the Raiders were, it's not

1363
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:39,799
Speaker 2: an awful season.

1364
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's an awful season. My point. My point,

1365
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 3: and we're talking about Mendoza here is right, like, do

1366
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 3: we expect him to go number one overall?

1367
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 4: Yes?

1368
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 3: Do we expect him to go to the Raiders?

1369
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 5: Yes?

1370
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:57,759
Speaker 3: Can the Raiders build, you know, provide a team around

1371
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 3: him that he was able to have immense success in Indiana? No,

1372
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 3: listen on third and long. The dude was great, no

1373
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 3: interceptions in the red zone, big stage, big game, he

1374
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 3: came up huge. You know, he's he can move when

1375
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 3: he wants to. He's he's not you know, he's not

1376
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 3: a Lamar Jackson by any stretch of the imagination. But

1377
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 3: he does, he is, he is somewhat mobile, all those things.

1378
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 3: But this is what we've seen in that system. You

1379
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 3: put him in a team like the Raiders, I just

1380
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to see that success. I

1381
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 3: just don't know.

1382
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 5: So.

1383
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the division you're into. What

1384
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,799
Speaker 2: do they all have in common? They rush the passer

1385
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: very very well. So that offense why, that's why I

1386
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 2: would trade the pick. But I understand the desperation and

1387
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 2: why so many quarterbacks go. I was wondering if last

1388
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 2: year might be the start of a trend. I'm guessing

1389
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 2: it won't be, but to where we didn't reach for

1390
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 2: quarterbacks all over the place.

1391
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, do you think if Dante

1392
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 3: Moore was was was coming out and making himself eligible

1393
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 3: in the NFL Draft, how big of a conversation do

1394
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 3: you think it would be?

1395
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 5: Right?

1396
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 3: Do you think our conversation right now would be who

1397
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 3: who is going to go first? Is it going to

1398
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 3: be Dante more or is it going to be Mendoza?

1399
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 2: I think folks what are going out of their way

1400
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 2: and falling all over themselves to discount more based on

1401
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 2: how the season ended without having to see the rest

1402
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 2: of it.

1403
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 3: I just I think there'd be more of a conversation

1404
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 3: and more of a question mark in regard to and

1405
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 3: again we've seen it play out, right, there's certain general managers,

1406
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 3: there's certain owners, there's certain head coaches who fall in

1407
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 3: love with guys, right, they just fall in love with

1408
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 3: like you know Kyle in San Francisco.

1409
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 4: You know he.

1410
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 3: Really did not like Mac Jones and fell in love with.

1411
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 6: Lance.

1412
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: And now Trey Lance one of those many guys trying

1413
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 2: to find himself a new opportunity as we get ready

1414
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 2: for the silly season here in the National Football League

1415

1438
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 3: huge miss, huge miss last night, Like you have Connor's

1439
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 3: story from he did Rivalry as your host. So many

1440
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 3: people were talking about it really like so many people

1441
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 3: tuned in, and then like I went to I went

1442
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 3: to X. I wanted to see what people were saying.

1443
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 3: The writing was atrocious, the skits were horrible, and I

1444
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 3: felt so bad for Connor's story because he was crushing it,

1445
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Like like he's not writing these skits, but who These

1446
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 3: SNL writers are just god awful. And the skits were

1447
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 3: so bad so this morning and I was just like,

1448
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 3: all right, let me see what everyone thinks. So I

1449
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 3: put like, curious minds want to know best SNL skit

1450
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 3: last night, and again we're like bottom of the barrel

1451
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 3: here Women's US hockey team, which it wasn't more of

1452
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 3: a skit, It was his opening monologue and they came out,

1453
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 3: and of course we know all that went down with

1454
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 3: them and the men's team and Trump and you know,

1455
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 3: having to invite them to the White House or he'll

1456
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 3: get impeached, and how that was just like an epic failure.

1457
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 3: So women's US Hockey team them making an appearance during

1458
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 3: the monologue, the stripping Plumber, and if you watched and

1459
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 3: if you watch the entirety of SNL, you know what

1460
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. The Gentleman's Code or the ice skating scene. Now,

1461
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 3: I loved the ice skating scene. I actually thought that

1462
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 3: it was it was the most comical I think, you know,

1463
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 3: I chuckled a few times because I didn't chuckle much

1464
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 3: last night. That only got eleven percent. But the Women's

1465
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 3: USA hockey team making an appearance showcasing their gold medal,

1466
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 3: making light of what happened earlier in the week. Thirty

1467
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 3: nine percent that's what most people, that's what people liked

1468
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 3: the most from last night's SNL skits.

1469
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, overall, And I don't watch the show regularly, but

1470
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 2: I did wanted to see what they do with all

1471
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 2: of the breaking news events and the week that was,

1472
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 2: all the cameos by Olympians, a win, the rest of it,

1473
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't I don't know how good

1474
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 2: or bad an actor he is. I'm not. I don't

1475
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: know the show and its history at this point right

1476
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 2: only what I have gleaned from social media, et cetera.

1477
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 2: But the writing left me flat. The the plumber was

1478
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 2: the was the victory for me just just odd as hell.

1479
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 2: And the pre tape slap slapfest is always funny. I

1480
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: don't know people slapping each other now in the world.

1481
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you know. You know, we've

1482
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 2: done some shows together through the years. I love my

1483
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 2: sports cards and memorabilia. How much would you pay for

1484
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 2: a nice pair of boots?

1485
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I always say I can go buy a

1486
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:01,560
Speaker 3: five dollars dress at TJ ME. But you put that

1487
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 3: on with a five hundred or one thousand dollars a

1488
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 3: pair of shoes, that dress looks like a million bucks?

1489
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:07,560
Speaker 1: How about it?

1490
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 9: For me?

1491
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 3: That was so for me, it's all about the shoes.

1492
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 3: So there's yeah, I'm spending more money on shoes than

1493
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 3: I am on clothes.

1494
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,599
