4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Sunday doesn't quite have the same ring as

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,919

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,960

Speaker 1: their bins in their garages to find their car flags

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: to raise them up. Forget about the Dodger flags for

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: a while, those got pushed to the wayside. No, no, no,

Speaker 1: the Shrine Game, All Star week in the college, in

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the pro ranks as it were. But you guys will

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: always remember, I'm sure where you were when it was

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: announced that Anthony Davis and Luka Doncis were being traded

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: for one another. I myself was fast asleep in a

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: chair because, well, I've been sick all week. And my

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: tag team partner Jason Smith calls me and I'm like, wow,

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: you don't normally call me after the Knicks get housed

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: by another team. What's going on? What's craziness in this world?

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: And he says, you got to see this, it's a trade,

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: And he proceeded to go on Twitter to say it

33
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: was like having another baby, that he had to call

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: everybody to tell them about it. Well, he's got a

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: sixteen year old dog, fifteen, not him. Well, I mean, look,

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: you've never seen the movie Junior, go back to the

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger classic with Danny Dindo all those years ago. Yes,

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I've I've read Tabloid's stories that

39
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: that have a whole thing about a second uh world

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: of people where men are having babies. So I don't

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: know what's true, what's imagined in this crazy, crazy topsy

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: turvy world anymore. Andy Furman, I'm with you.

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm thinking right now I'm ready to call

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Ripley's believe it or not on Jason Smith.

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was just so thrilled. It was

46
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: was the most amazing thing ever. It's like normally on

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: the weekends, we leave each other alone, a couple of headlines,

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: we mock each other like I had to send the

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: the final salvo as the you know, like not that

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I have a dog in the fight, except that our

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: executive producer, Justin Frossberg, Laker fan Los Angeles native, and

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Smith Everything Knicks were due to do battle on Saturday

53
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: night and the Lakers, led by the resplendent, resurgent always

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: ready for prime time at the Garden, thirteen and one

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: in his last fourteen games. Now Lebron James showing out

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: with his triple doubles. So I'm like, wow, he's gonna

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: go hide because he's ready for the litany of gifts

58
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: that we normally send, and instead he's calling me to

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: tell me about a trade, so, like everybody else, I

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: didn't believe it at first, which is the I guess,

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: really the statement of where we're at in the world

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: that Sham Sharani had to keep putting out going, No, no,

63
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: it's really me. That wasn't hacked. Nobody took over my account.

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: The Mavericks really are doing this.

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: Well, the only thing you'll believe believe the trade. Don't

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: believe what the Dallas Mavericks general manager said that the

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: defense wins championships in the NBA. How many games have

68
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: you seen Nico real defense? Are you kidding me? Come on,

69
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: what do you think Luca's gotten you at the finals

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: last year? It was not defense because he doesn't play defense.

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: He was a thirty point per game average. That's what

72
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: got get to the finals. I don't get it. I mean,

73
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: this is a great thing for the Lakers. He's twenty

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: five years old, and that leaves Dallas now with two stars,

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: alleged stars that are thirty plus and Kyrie Irving and

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis.

77
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: Ad Look, this is fascinating for me because people are

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: really upset about the Luca Dancis thing because they're like,

79
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: you should be willing to put up with someone who

80
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 3: repeatedly shows up out.

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: Of shape and conditioning.

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: We got rid of Luca, a thirty point a game

83
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: scorer because of Cardio, but the lack of fitness leads

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 5: to a lot of injuries, and so in essence, the

85
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: Mavericks and the Lakers traded each other, traded for off

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: injured players because both guys have significant time that they

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 5: spend on the sideline.

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 4: Do the various elements.

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 5: To me, it seems like there was a cultural thing,

90
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: that a cultural disconn between Luca and the Mavericks in

91
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 5: terms of how they wanted their culture to be and

92
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: how he kind of fits in, and with a Supermax

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: on the horizon, they just decided it was better for

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 5: them to move on, which is kind of crazy from

95
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: a twenty five year old store right.

96
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: I learned this a long time ago. When you have

97
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: a question, you're scratching your head about this trade of

98
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: trades in general, you always go back to one thing,

99
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: the green salvation money guilt. That's what it's all about.

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: And Dallas was playing to give Luca a five year contract,

101
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: a three hundred and forty five million. All of a

102
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: sudden they put the brakes on that they said, I'll

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: get out of here, he's gone. I mean, really and truly,

104
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: you don't trade a future Hall of Famer like that.

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: It just doesn't make any sense. And the fan base

106
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: must be going nuts in Dallas today. So I think that,

107
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: really and truly, if you kind of scratch away from

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: the surface and see what's really going on, three hundred

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: and forty five million dollars had a lot to do

110
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: with the trade.

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question about it. Right, we go back

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: through it, as Bucky says, right fitness. It all went

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: south as soon as Michael Finley took away that beer

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: from him when he was talking with his dad in

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the hall. Remember one of the great videos. We talked

116
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: about it a lot, Bucky. I was not a fan

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: of it at the time. They said, hey, child, get

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: this beer out. You're not done yet. And look in

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: the NBA, how many guys do we have that really

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: commit to the defensive end for forty eight minutes? I

121
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: think I can't pen right, I could count him on

122
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: one hand.

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: All Star Game there's scoring like three hundred points a game,

124
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: and those games come.

125
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: On, Wow, that that really doesn't count. That's like watching

126
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl later today and tell me that that

127
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: it matters. Although I did enjoy the like the little

128
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: throwing at target thing the other day and the hey,

129
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: you can only catch the ball with one hand, all

130
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: those Pro Bowl games from the other day. That was

131
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: all fun and exciting watching guys hit those targets and

132
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: yelling at each other. And then they had to bleep

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: out every other word. I'm like, you're on cable. Let

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: him say what he needs to say. If he's mad,

135
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: pick it up, let's go. It's not something we haven't

136
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: heard before. Kids are yelling them on the playground more

137
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: than I ever did as an adult of foul mouth

138
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: little ruffians running.

139
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Using those words in school. Now, come on, let it go.

140
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: No, no, you can't say any of that in school anymore.

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: You kidding me.

142
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: I'd have been to school in a while.

143
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, Andy, No, no, no, no, right now, if

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you're a teacher or administrator, you're tearing out whatever hair

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: you have left on your head because you can't say

146
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a word little joy. Well that's what I mean, though,

147
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't say anything like heay. You know

148
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: that anything goes as you roll through. But yeah, for me,

149
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: this is this is just a fun exercise in the

150
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: way of the world of you. You're tired with one

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: one guy claiming how his conditioning matter, seventy two, sixty one,

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: sixty six, sixty five, sixty six, seventy and now twenty

153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: two games, an actual injury plague season for Luca, coming

154
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: off of a massive run, of a massive workload into

155
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the final and they're gonna bring in Anthony Davis, a

156
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: guy who's missed on average, what twenty five games a

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: year for the last five years. And it looks funny.

158
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.

159
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: You look You look at ad. He looks like he's

160
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: got the perfect body, he's in pretty good shape, and

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: he's missing games all right. Now, Luca has not played

162
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: what since the twenty second of the month of January,

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: I think, and he has weighed as much as two

164
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty pounds. So basically, one guy's in pretty

165
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: good shape. One guy is way out of shape, and

166
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: they both don't play. Think about that. So you know,

167
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do?

168
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Oh, it's the incentive of the eighty two game season

169
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: as well, right, So what are we playing for? We're

170
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: playing for April? Right, As long as you're in the

171
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: top ten in your conference. Come April, you're ready to go.

172
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: Too many games, too many teams qualify for the playoffs.

173
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: That's killing the game. That's killing the NBA.

174
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Well in the end, I mean, they just got their

175
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: massive TV deal, so it hasn't quite quite murdered it

176
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: to the level that everybody wants to bring their hands about.

177
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: I know, we look at television ratings for individual games

178
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: or the product as a whole. I think, you know,

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: we can if folks want to do the Hey, we're

180
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: oversaturated with football. Telling me that on a given Tuesday night,

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: here's my NBA showcase and it's the Portland Trailblazers is

182
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: not exactly exciting me. Fellas. Sorry, I had to take

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the swipe at the good city at Portland did not.

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: I must ask you a quick question, because you'll be

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 2: the judge on this. I suggested de Bucket. One of

186
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: the problems of the NBA is these guys are putting

187
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: up like eighty ninety three is a game, which is ridiculous.

188
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 2: I mean, you're going down to the park and watching

189
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: guys just eaving the ball up. I say they have

190
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: a designated shooter. One of two guys on the team

191
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: that could only take the three point goal. The only

192
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: two guys maybe on each team will be a designated

193
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: shooter like a baseball, a designated hitter. Maybe that could help.

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: What do you think too many threes? It's killing the game?

195
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 5: Oh?

196
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean a designated hitter. You're out there for one job.

197
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: Only got five guys out of court? Is there a

198
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: six guy roving and he's one of the only guys

199
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: that can shoot?

200
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: No, he's one of the five, but he's the one

201
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: of the five. Is one of the guys?

202
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: Well, what happens? You get an electrical shock if you

203
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: touch that you go to shoot the ball, and you're

204
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: not one of those two guys. I mean, what's what's

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: the technical foul? Sure, let's add more free throws to

206
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the game and make the game longer.

207
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean you would hope.

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: How does that helping me?

209
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: Well, you'd be hopefully smart enough not to shoot the

210
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: three if you're not a designated three point.

211
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Well, in theory, you should be smart enough if you

212
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: can't hit a three, not to take a three.

213
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: Right, All, you're right, I agree?

214
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Right, I mean that that's I mean, if we if

215
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: we want to get down to brass tacks. I mean

216
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you know it's like going forward on

217
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: fourth down right, the math says you should do it. Likewise,

218
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: you should take Well, I watched these games.

219
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: When I see Porzingi's three thrown up three as it

220
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: drives me nuts. All right, he said seven foot he's

221
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: playing three points.

222
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: See now, now, now we're going with sizest. Is that

223
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: a word? What do you think, Bucky? Is that a word?

224
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: So we Binyama not be pulling up from three. Yeah,

225
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: he's a better three point shooter than half the guys

226
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: out there that are taking him just because he's seven,

227
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: seven nine or whatever the hell he is measured points.

228
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can hit him, you hit him right.

229
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Who who's gardening him? He's gonna have a clean look

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: any time he goes to shoot a three, isn't he so?

231
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: And then if he can hit it, you can hit it.

232
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: I I look what I love a return to a

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: fast break game where seven footers live in the in

234
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: the lane.

235
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: Like Kareem didn't take threes. Kareem would not have taken.

236
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: It's a different pole either, did Michael Jordan? Right?

237
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: Right?

238
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: You know, folks want to make comparisons like oh, this

239
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: guy's got this many more than Jordan, or this many

240
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: more than Larry Burr. Like the game didn't evolve to

241
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: that point. I think part of the structure we have

242
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: now of the game, it's it goes back to the

243
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: look what we're doing now, and now we're just fixing

244
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: all these games. Uh is we we love watching the

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: open ice skate of a an Olympic hockey rink right

246
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: where it's wider and we've got more opportunity for you know,

247
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: and people used to yell, well, it's such a problem

248
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: because look at look at the skill and the speed

249
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: of the Russians that they run right past us. And

250
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: they're like, well, there's the international game right different. You

251
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: got to you gotta change and you know, evolve into

252
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: what your team has made up of. I think here

253
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: we've got a point where individually, you know, Steph Curry's

254
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: a small guy. Steph Curry's a giant my world. Laugh

255
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: it up, Bucky, go ahead. But it's like all of

256
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: those guys that are seen as wow, look how small

257
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: they are on an NBA court, They're still inches taller

258
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: than the average man. And now we're we're cramming ten

259
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: guys into this same space where once upon a time

260
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: it was Wilt and Russell or Kareem and a bunch

261
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: of guys eight inches smaller than them. So maybe it's

262
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: time to start looking at it. And I know, the

263
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: front row, I mean, Timothy shallow May and Spike Ling

264
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: and all those guys are gonna have to move their

265
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: asses back a row. But maybe we start widening it

266
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: to where the three point shot, you know, still has

267
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: a chance of being a clank, because it's a legitimate

268
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: shot again, as opposed to the narrow confines that we're

269
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: working with.

270
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: Now, how about that, you know, Bucky made a good point, though,

271
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: May the twenty four second clock may maybe make the

272
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: game fast to make it a twenty second clock, that

273
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: may be a possibility.

274
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'd be curious what's the numbers say in terms

275
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: of anybody actually getting to the twenty four second except

276
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes trying to stole out a clock.

277
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Seems to me, guys are going and you made you know,

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: fun of it, Leonel Blacktop Shooters and rec League guys, Andy,

279
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that what most of these games are.

280
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you should run some clock. Nope, how

281
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: much was left on the shot clock eighteen shoot it,

282
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: which is how we get to our Hey, they each

283
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: took ninety shots from three point three point range today,

284
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: but it makes for makes for fun fodder. Back to

285
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: the the task at hand, though, Luka doncic And and

286
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. When we talk about physicality and Luca being

287
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: a young guy, I mean Lebron saying, Hey, I was

288
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: out to dinner. I didn't know you had some national

289
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: writers and scribes who you know, the reputation ebb and

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: flow of things, trying to contend a Lebron didn't know,

291
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: and you know this was all done in dark magic.

292
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: I do have to wonder this in the process of

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: you couldn't get more for Luca if you really dangled

294
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: him into an open marketplace, or had he already determined

295
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the only place he was going to go to is

296
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

297
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: Well, apparently he didn't ask for a trade, so I

298
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: wasn't like one of those I want to get out

299
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: of here. I think he was very content in Dallas.

300
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Well, if you knew you were going to get a

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty five million dollar max contract because

302
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: of what the market will bear, I'd like to think

303
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: I'd be a little less satisfied with my body of

304
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,479
Speaker 1: work to that point that I'd be left alone. But

305
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: all that to say, you know, you actually put this out.

306
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Trade deadline is later on this week right part of

307
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl week festivities. It's an annual tradition of

308
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: radio row being up, you know, upheaval because you're in

309
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the final throws of practices and now we're talking NBA

310
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: on one of the nights. It's one of the things

311
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: they do fight back a little bit in the timeline,

312
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: which is a rarity. I know, folks get it in.

313
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL gobbles up everything. No, no, everybody

314
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: gets their shots back. I mean, hell, the last few

315
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: days we've had as many w NBA stories about big movement,

316
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: Britney Griner and Kelsey Plumb. You got Angel Reese getting

317
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: kicked out of a game in this new league. I mean,

318
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: all of these things headlines, and then the NBA says, way,

319
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: not so fast, bring it back around here, some positivity

320
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: undercover of darkness on a Saturday night, so it wasn't

321
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: even a Friday night news dump.

322
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this question. Okay, as far

323
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: as the picking order of sports is concerned right now?

324
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: Do we agree that the NFL is king of the

325
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: NFL is one and maybe college football is one? A?

326
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: We do agree there, right I would think.

327
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about college football.

328
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: I think college football is pretty one A. But after that, Yeah,

329
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: where's your picking on it?

330
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: Is it?

331
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, NBA and then WNBA. I like to

332
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: know what's next. I mean, is Major League Baseball more

333
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: popular than the NBA right now?

334
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

335
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: I mean, and the WNBA you just mentioned it. WNBA

336
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: has come a long way and they're expanding right now.

337
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: They've got a team in San Francisco. I got a

338
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: team I think in Denver. They're gonna have one. I mean,

339
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: they're moving, They're really moving right now, and I think

340
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: people enjoy watching that game. It's an enjoyable game, it

341
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: really is.

342
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking to bring one to Detroit, Jared Goff and

343
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: his wife looking to lead the way. Nashville had a

344
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: pretty good sounder the other day with Tim McGraw, Peyton

345
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Manning and a bunch of folks rising up saying, hey,

346
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: let's be the Nashville Summits and name it after Pat Summits, So,

347
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get the expansion there, and certainly

348
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: the college women's game will be front and center here

349
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: in short order, Like anything, right the life cycle. As

350
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: soon as the Super Bowl is over, people get back

351
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: into into their next next of loves, which is why

352
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: the NBA has their trade deadline everything and the calendar.

353
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: We get to the All Star Game and propel it

354
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: to that final third of the season before we have

355
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: a three month playoff season. Major League Baseball a couple

356
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: more weeks till pitchers and catchers reports. I know it

357
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: was Dodger Fest here yesterday. Lines along all around the

358
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: block trying to get themselves in and get situated for

359
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: all the different panels to meet the players and see

360
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: the players talk and all of that fun stuff. So

361
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: so you've got that. Yeah, it's interesting, Bucky. Would you

362
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: think in terms of pecking owner? I mean, baseball still

363
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: sells out a lot of seats. And even though you've

364
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: got a huge problem in that, what is it eight

365
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: to ten teams haven't spent a diamond free agency, yet

366
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: everybody wants to complain about the Dodgers. Think they need

367
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: to clean their own house before they start casting a

368
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: spursions over there at Chavez Ravine. You got a lot

369
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: of folks that are more than happy to milk the

370
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: corporate teat for that TV revenue and then don't do

371
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: a damn thing for their fans or for the game itself.

372
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: I think that's where you have a very unhealthy game.

373
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: And I think that's really kind of the point with

374
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: this is for the NBA and for Major League Baseball,

375
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: the money's going into the golfers, But could we say

376
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: that either of them is healthy? At least College football

377
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: seems to be growing in anticipation because of the twelve

378
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: team playoff. Likewise, WNBA on the come, still a long

379
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: way to be in that same category, but you know,

380
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: trying to some love along the way. What do you

381
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: say about you?

382
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I think baseball has kind of had a

383
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 5: bit of a renaissance. I think last year, the playoff

384
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: run and those things may have helped it. When you

385
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: get the big brand names. I know they small market

386
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 5: teams say this, but when you get the Yankees and

387
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 5: the Dodgers, you get big markets in those things, you

388
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 5: get a lot of eyeballs on it.

389
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: It changes the perception. The Dodgers spend money.

390
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 5: The Dodgers have an international flare with the way that

391
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: they've built their roster with a bunch of international players,

392
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 5: and so you bring in all types. To me, baseball

393
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 5: made some changes that made the game watchable. It allowed

394
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: the game to fit into the time blocks, the windows

395
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 5: that were used to see when it comes to the

396
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: amount of time we will devote to a task. They're

397
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 5: doing that for the NBA, they have to do something

398
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 5: to create that. But to me, the pecun order would

399
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 5: be NFL college football. Then I would say baseball, I

400
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: look the somewhere in there. But soccer is also fairly

401
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 5: popular when it comes to Premier league stuff. I don't

402
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 5: know if it rivals the NBA yet, but there's certainly.

403
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: Some momentum gaining.

404
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: When it comes to our love affair with the true

405
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 5: and original football as opposed to American football.

406
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Buck. I will say Major League Baseball

407
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: is right behind college football and the NFL is number one.

408
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: I would say, why is baseball there?

409
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 4: So?

410
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: Because it's affordable, That's the key. I don't think the

411
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: NBA is affordable. The product is terrible, it really is,

412
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: and it's not worth the money they charge to watch

413
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: the product. Major League Baseball. You can go to a

414
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: baseball game for like ten bucks to see a game

415
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: and enjoy yourself under the sunlight.

416
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: It's wonderful the difference between in eighteen thousand seed arena

417
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: forty one dates versus eighty one dates and what fifty

418
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: thousand in many many cities. I would argue this though,

419
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: because of the love of the NBA in terms of

420
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: if you're willing to pay a little bit of money,

421
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: you can get to a game and it doesn't have

422
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: to be nosebleed. It's nose bleeds all the time. But

423
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: I think when we get into the cost of the game,

424
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's my age old argument, what's it worth

425
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: to you? Right? Folks go out to eat quite a

426
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: bit in this country and going to a and I

427
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: do it all the time. Use the Applebee's, Chili's, whatever

428
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: your local equivalent of that for a family of four is,

429
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: you know whatever, eighty ninety dollars at this point when

430
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: you have burgers and fries and maybe a Coca Cola,

431
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: maybe Mom or Dad has a nice frosty beer along

432
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: the way. If you're doing that two or three times

433
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: a week, you can't cook once at home and go

434
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: to a ball game instead, right, I mean, it's all

435
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: about your choices that you make with your dollar, your

436
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: discretionary income and whatever. I'll never be one ring in

437
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: my hands saying that it's too expensive. You got to

438
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: make choices and you can't and always go when the

439
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: A list team is in town.

440
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: And more than that, with the NBA, you want to

441
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: go to see maybe Lebron play, especially now it's his

442
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: swan song and you go buy a ticket and he's

443
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: sitting out that day. A lot of these guys just

444
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: don't play, all right.

445
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: And that's life. You're you're you're you're paying for laundry andy.

446
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean in the end, buyer beware, it's

447
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: the Lakers, it's the Mavericks, it's the I mean the

448
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventy six ers. At this point, you've had a

449
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: fifty chance during his career that Joel Embiid would actually

450
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: suit up for you, right percent. But you make your

451
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: choices and in the end you go and have a

452
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: good time, hopefully regardless. Like the folks that always say, oh,

453
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: I went to Broadway and then I got the understudy,

454
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, you had no idea who the hell the

455
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: guy was that was the lead? So shut up, ran Jackman.

456
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: There you go. My obligatory love of Hugh Jackman finds

457
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: its way into the show. There's Andy Furman over there,

458
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: and Andy Ferman FSR. Bucky Brooks. At Bucky Brooks, I

459
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: promise we'll actually talk football on Fox Football Sunday as

460
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: we continue here live Fromtheti rag dot com studios. What's

461
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: the most annoying, nauseating storyline heading into this week that

462
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: we want to talk about for four minutes and then

463
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: throw it into a trash can forever in a day.

470
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: to just start screaming like Sting would be, but like

471
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: him earlier this week at fire Aid, Ah, my voice

472
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: can't quite hit the high notes this morning. Welcome in

473
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: another beautiful segment here it's Fogus Football Sunday, Mike Garmin

474
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: alongside Bucky Brooks, Andy Furman with you as we begin

475
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: in earnest Super Bowl week. Gentlemen, so much on the docket,

476
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: A lot of our team mates heading to New Orleans.

477
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Over the course of the day as they get ready

478
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: for Radio Row, all the pageantry, pomp and circumstance that

479
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: will lead us up to the great Rematch, the battle

480
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: between the Eagles and the Chiefs. A lot of talk

481
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: about officials. You know, I buy there's a there's a

482
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: hat line I'd buy into called Animal Farm from Goren. Right,

483
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: So it's a company from San Francisco. They you know,

484
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: Fedora Fisherman Cap and years ago they stumbled upon the

485
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: idea of all right, let's start making these these cool

486
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: uh you know caps right where you've got your trucker

487
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: hats that will have the logo and you've seen them

488
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: out there with the different animals, and it'll have a

489
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: smart ass saying on there. This week they made one

490
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: with a zebra that said crook it on it. It's

491
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: sold out like five minutes. It's say a great line

492
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: that they've been doing these last couple of years, and

493
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: and this one was a very popular one. So there

494
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: is number one in our scorecard for the week of

495
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: how many times will we hear about refereeing and potential

496
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: questioning of the referee? This might be the first time

497
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: that everybody at home actually knows who all the referees

498
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: are that are participating in a game. Along the way,

499
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: we've got dynastic talk. We've got Reed Mahomes against Belichick

500
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: and Brady Jalen Hurts second Super Bowl appearance, everything having

501
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: to go with Saquon Barkley. I'm gonna start with the

502
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: one I hated from the season, and we talked about

503
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: it because we love three yards in a cloud of dust,

504
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: much like you know, once upon a time, people love

505
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: the ad campaigns for Major League Baseball of the quote

506
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: unquote chicks dig the long ball. The narrative I need

507
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: dead was this was the year of the return of

508
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: the running back. Sixteen guys top to one thousand yards

509
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: and oh wait, Saquon Barkley, Dereck Henry and Josh Jacobs

510
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: were good. Oh my god, what a difference a year makes,

511
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: think Andy Furman.

512
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 2: Well, I will tell you this much. Several years ago

513
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: they said that position was extinct, and now I think

514
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: people are realizing it's a pretty important position. I mean,

515
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 2: what the running back can do. Take pressure off the

516
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: passing game, run the clock down when you got the lead,

517
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: and you know, you look at Saquon Barkley picked up

518
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: two thousand and five yards almost fortunate, and fifty more

519
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. He basically is the offense. I look

520
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: what happened to the Giants after he's gone. I mean really,

521
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: he was like sixty percent of the offense for the

522
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: Giants a year ago. So you know, it is an

523
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: important position. And the funny thing is that the two

524
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: top running backs in the league basically were cast off

525
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: from the original team. Think about that, the Ravens got

526
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: one and then basically the Eagles got one.

527
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: Well, but my point is that the running backs that

528
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: excelled to that level, including Barkley. Barkley wasn't going to

529
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: be a one man gang for the Giants. How much

530
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: better were they another win and a half? Maybe was

531
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: bereft of talent around him. My argument is that the

532
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: running back never died, that it never went away. If

533
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: you had twelve guys with a thousand yards a year

534
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: ago sixteen this year, we have workloads, splits, quarterbacks running,

535
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: et cetera. He just decided that it wasn't worth the

536
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: whatever fifteen million dollars a year that you could go

537
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: and find a suitable replacement, and I would argue that

538
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: Tracy there and say in New York was a pretty

539
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: damn good back, except guess what, the team's stunk, so

540
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: it didn't matter who was back there, you were only

541
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna have so much of a level of success. I

542
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: remind folks that these Eagles, oh wait, they were in

543
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl a couple of years ago. Last year

544
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: was all turmoil because of coordinators and problems. And oh,

545
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: the Ravens won thirteen games a year ago. So the

546
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: and the Packers where everybody's darling right, they beat the

547
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the playoffs. These guys all went to already

548
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: good teams, so it's no surprise, taddah they went and

549
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: performed well.

550
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 2: I think, I.

551
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 5: Think yeah, But I think it's different in terms of

552
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 5: there was this prevailing sense around the football world that

553
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 5: running backs are easily replaceable. We're very dismissive of the

554
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 5: position that we could find anybody to handle that that

555
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: we could go, uh and find a garbage man and

556
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 5: just kind of throw him in a tailback and he's

557
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 5: good enough, and that you can do it by committee.

558
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 5: And I think the reason we're talking about the renaissance

559
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 5: of the running back position is not just because of

560
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 5: the success that they had in terms of individually two

561
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 5: thousand yards nineteen hundred yards I think thirteen or whatever,

562
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 5: one hundred yards for Josh Jacobs. But it's the return

563
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 5: of the workhorse running back. For so long we've been

564
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 5: conditioned coming off the heels of watching Shanahan. Even Shanahan

565
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 5: went and got a premier running back, you can just

566
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 5: throw anybody in there and those committee those committee.

567
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: Situations will work well.

568
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 5: What you're seeing is is different when you have a

569
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 5: legitimate guy. Joe Shane's diness of Saquon Barkley laughing off

570
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 5: the suggestion of that the owner is like, man, I'm

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 5: really gonna be sick if the guy goes and has

572
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 5: a lot ah. Yeah, yeah, we'll replace him. And to

573
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: your point, Tracy's good, but Tracy doesn't keep defensive coordinators

574
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 5: up at night. And there's a difference between good and great.

575
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 5: Terreal Davis once used to say, like good it gets

576
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: you a thousand.

577
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: Great to get you to fifteen to sixteen hundred.

578
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: I think what we're seeing in the case of Saquon Barkley,

579
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 5: Mile Sanders was good. Saquon Barkley is great, which puts

580
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 5: them over two thousand and what we're seeing, and we.

581
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 4: Didn't believe that the league could do this. We're seeing

582
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: that you can.

583
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 5: Get to a Super Bowl running the football and having

584
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: your running back as the best player. And I've always

585
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 5: believed that depending on the level of quarterback, the running

586
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 5: back is just as important. And so when you put

587
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: an A level running back behind whatever an AA minus quarterback,

588
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: it changed the dynamic of the offense. So I think

589
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: some of the renaissances and some of the I said,

590
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 5: the at that we're hearing over these running backs is

591
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: due to the respect that had kind of gone away

592
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 5: when the analytics guys and everyone else had been so

593
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 5: dismissive of the position.

594
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: Will Sin, I think you made a great point in

595
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: the sense that they never thought the running back was

596
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: worth the money.

597
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: It was all.

598
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: It always goes back to the money. They didn't want

599
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: to pay the running back.

600
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: That was the key.

601
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: I think that you with to ask these personnel people

602
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: in general managers, they'll tell you the running back has

603
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: a worth for the team, but it wasn't worth the

604
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: money they wanted to pay him. And that's why sae

605
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: Quon Barkley left. They weren't going to pay him.

606
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you have to make your decisions of

607
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: where your money is gone. And in the Giants case,

608
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: Shane had already made the commitment to the quarterback position,

609
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: and now you're trying to spread the rest of those

610
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: dollars around. If we're going to do this all the time,

611
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: having a quarterback and a running back is all finding good.

612
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: This is where my argument for three yards and a

613
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: cloud of dust football comes back to the most important

614
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: position of them all. It doesn't work unless Lane Johnson

615
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: and all those guys are up front blowing holes open

616
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: that you can drive an eighteen wheeler through. I mean,

617
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley's fantastic. How many times are you going through

618
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: that line untouched and then running to daylight?

619
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I think it's all. I mean, I

620
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 5: think it's all a part of it, right, But it's

621
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: part of the commitment. So for so long, I think

622
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 5: the frustration is we're quick to commit to quarterbacks that

623
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 5: are average, but we're not ready to commit to running

624
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 5: backs who are exceptional. The Giants are the case in point.

625
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones got forty million dollars coming off a season

626
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 5: which he had fifteen passing touchdowns, Saquon Barkley had been

627
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: carrying the Giants, and even within that locker room they

628
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: acknowledge that he was the best player.

629
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: But once again, we just hand over the money to.

630
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 5: The quarterback without even really asking can they really play?

631
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: And if they can't play, then we say, well, they

632
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: need more help around them. Why am I paying them

633
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: fifty million dollars if he needs help to be able

634
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 5: to get the job done. So some of the frustration

635
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 5: comes from that part of it. The Eagles offensive line

636
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 5: absolutely is dynamic, is terrific, But the Detroit Lions also

637
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 5: have a great offensive line, So no one's disputing that

638
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 5: you need to have the pieces in place in front

639
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 5: of them to be successful. But remember the conversation was

640
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: we not only wanted didn't want to pay the running back,

641
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 5: we didn't want to draft them in the first round.

642
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 5: That's how dismissive we were of the position. Jamior Gibbs

643
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 5: first round pick. Do you remember that outrage that existed

644
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: when he was taking twelfth overall and everyone's like, why

645
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 5: would you waste that position?

646
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: It's not a market position.

647
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 5: I just think some of this is hey man, there

648
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: are more positions that are important to the team.

649
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: Outside of quarterback, and you know what I tell you.

650
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: So what happened in New York. Would let Barkley go

651
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: a similar situation, maybe not as big. But in Cincinnati,

652
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: let Joe Mixon go. They had no running game this

653
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: year Cincinnati and Mixon did put rather well in Houston.

654
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Those runners said, Chase Brown had himself a hell of

655
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: a year. You guys just played not impact and.

656
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: Nah, but it's not. It's not as impactful.

657
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: He can get yards, but some of those yards, like,

658
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 5: we'll let Chase Brown have those yards because now we

659
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: got to take care of t Higgins and Jamar Chase

660
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 5: when Joe Mixon is there. Joe Mixon can beat you.

661
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 5: Chase Brown can't beat you. He can run those are

662
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 5: those are empty calories. He's a bag of potato chips.

663
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 5: They're empty calories. Like that's fine, you kind of get

664
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 5: full off of them, but they're not of substance. Joe

665
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 5: Mixon showed you when he went to Houston the substance

666
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 5: that he brought to the offense in those things, and

667
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: Cincinnati missed him.

668
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: He also missed some time. We can do this all day.

669
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm not letting lou Onumo and what he had of

670
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: a shell of a defense off the hook there because

671
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: you know.

672
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 5: No, but but here here's the thing right, Now, here's

673
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: the part about like this stuff because it all works together.

674
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: Who was Lou and Arumo coaching? Right?

675
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: So, Zach Taylor understands that he doesn't have a great defense,

676
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 5: but he wants to throw it all over the yard

677
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 5: and not control the game. Lou and Umo is supposed

678
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 5: to field a dominant defense with scraps.

679
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 4: He doesn't have anything if they run the ball and

680
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 4: shrinked the game.

681
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 5: Now on Roumo at least has a chance because he's

682
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 5: playing fewer snaps and so they can blame Lou.

683
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 4: But like, I'm like, who is Lou playing.

684
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: With a bunch of got a name?

685
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 2: There's no doubt he was the fall guy, There's.

686
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: No question about it. Zach Taylor and company not bothering

687
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: to be ready for September uh didn't help either. He's

688
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: ad at a Andy Furman FSR at Bucky Brooks. Find

689
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,400

00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: Coaching Garricel starting to slow down a little bit, just

704
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: one more slot before we're fully operational for the twenty

705
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: twenty five campaign, gentlemen, and a couple of surprises along

706
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: the way, a little bit of shockers and certainly a

707
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of pointing and derision to heard the promo during

708
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: the commercial break of our discussion related to Brian Schottenheimer

709
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: and the vehement defense of it from Jerry Jones Dak

710
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: Prescott talking about how their contracts are now inextricably linked

711
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: going forward, fellas, as we wind down this cycle and

712
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: look only to New Orleans where Mike McCarthy among others,

713
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: have said, hey, I'm out. In other words, I'm not

714
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: getting the job. So I'm out. Biggest shocker for you,

715
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: biggest team, and we got seven years of one and done.

716
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: Did anybody want to put their mark on the map

717
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 1: for who we're talking about next year? Going back into

718
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: the cycle, Andy, Well, I think.

719
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: That Bill Belichick's a possibility. But mccauthy's back of the cycle.

720
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you that, how do you

721
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 2: think I'm mad.

722
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: In terms of guys getting fired again? Go ahead? What

723
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: do you got? Andy? Oh?

724
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you think Kellen Moore feels right now?

725
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: This New Orleans Saints team had gotten rid of that

726
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: coach in November, right in November, and that they knew

727
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: at that point in time they're going to need a

728
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: new coach? Did a last team to hire a coach?

729
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 2: And this guy's last man standing? How do you think

730
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: he feels right?

731
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: Right?

732
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I get it. People are gonna say,

733
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: why would he want to go to New Orleans? Well, look,

734
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: everybody wants to be a head coach. I don't care

735
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: how bad the team may be. Everybody a wants to

736
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: be a head coach program and be everybody thinks it

737
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 2: that hard of hearts, they can be the guy that

738
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: could turn it around, right Buck? Is that true they

739
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 2: think they could get it done?

740
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 5: Yeah?

741
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: No, I mean I think there's a lot of truth

742
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: to that.

743
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 5: And Kellen Morshafield great about the opportunity that he's gonna

744
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 5: get as the new Orlands Saints head coach if he

745
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 5: comes to Fruition. The biggest surprise I think would be

746
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 5: maybe Pete Carroll coming back, not because Pete Carroll isn't

747
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 5: accomplished enough, but for so long we've heard all the

748
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 5: stuff about the older coach not being able to connect

749
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 5: with the players, and so I'm actually excited to see

750
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 5: what Pete Carroll does.

751
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: Giving a chance to take over a Raiders team who had.

752
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: A player's quote coach quote unquote nap. They now have

753
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 5: a coach who is a player's coach, but is experienced.

754
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 5: He's done it as a national champion, as a Super

755
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 5: Bowl champion.

756
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 4: To see him with an iconic franchise should be a

757
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 4: lot of fun.

758
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 5: To kind of see him go into like the final

759
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 5: years of his career, having an opportunity to do what

760
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 5: he really wanted to do.

761
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, you match him up with a new GM, you've

762
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: got whatever the invisible hand and is Brady going there?

763
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: And it would appear, at least for twenty twenty five,

764
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: you're not on a pressure cooker clock like you are

765
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: in so many other places, right that there looks to be,

766
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: at least on the surface, an opportunity, even we talk

767
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: about his age, the opportunity to go and build a program.

768
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: New Orlean's got the issues of being cash strapped and

769
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: how much do you love or not love Derek Carr,

770
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: But it's one of thirty two. You get your opportunities

771
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: as they come, and that's where the fickle hand of

772
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: fate is at this point. Yeah, I'm just curious, Like

773
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: the Schottenheimer thing, he's a guy that was in the

774
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: system already, right, familiarity and Jerry Jones being Jerry Jones.

775
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: I think I wish you'd just name himself coach once

776
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: and for all.

777
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm happy Eric b Enemy's back in the

778
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: NFL and he's with your team, the Chicago Bears.

779
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: Now, I'll curiosity right after a year at UCLA where

780
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: things didn't exactly go swimmingly for everybody there. But uh, well,

781
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: we'll see how it has Ben Johnson puts his staff together.

782
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: Certainly it's an all star lineup. I mean that nobody

783
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: can complain they didn't try this time around in Chicago.

784
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean they did try. They are trying to put

785
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 5: together good product. They put together some pieces.

786
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 4: So we'll see what it looks like. I mean, it's okay.

787
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 5: I mean I'm kind of excited to see what it

788
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 5: looks like. When Ben Johnson has an opportunity to put

789
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 5: a stamp on it.

790
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: We shall see, all right. Pro Bowl prediction anybody want

791
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: to want to venture? Or was that in bottom barrel batting?

792
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: They're going to play the game. No prediction on what

793
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: it looks like.

794
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: There you go, they'll pretend to play, We'll pretend to

795
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: watch on to the English Premier League. Andy, thanks so much,

809
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: great reactions from not only professional ballplayers, but also Johnny

810
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: Suzi Joq public related to the big trade from the

811
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: NBA last night. Welcome in. I'm Mike Carman alongside me,

812
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: my guy, Bucky Brooks. You read theMedical dot com, Fox

813
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: sports dot com. You heard him this week, call him

814
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: the Shrine Game, getting ready for all the festivities there.

815
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: He's got his first mock draft up, so you know

816
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: my hands, I've already and wringing my hands. I already

817
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: have it printed out fresh off the smoking printer on

818
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: a beautiful Sunday morning. Bucky, good to be with you.

819
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: We're into the official silly season now.

820
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 5: Silly season, and I love this part of it right

821
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 5: because there's nothing better than picking players for a team

822
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 5: that doesn't have a coach or general manager.

823
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: Isn't that the best right? Trying to guess? All right,

824
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: they don't have a guy in place, or maybe they

825
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: do and I just don't trust him. So I'm gonna

826
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: tell them how I'm the smartest guy. And we all

827
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: try to do that at least once or twice, depending

828
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: how many iterations. I don't know how many year contracted

829
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: to do for NFL dot com. We'll make sure we

830
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: get the link out, but version one point zero is

831
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: out there. And this week you got to do a

832
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: lot of hands on talking to prospects, watching prospects work

833
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: related to the Shrine Game. And I know it's one

834
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: of the things you cherish as a mentor to a

835
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of these young guys, as a coach, as a

836
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: former player, being around this game has that special meaning

837
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: to you. What you gleaned, What kind of insights did

838
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: you come away from, how they're they're getting coached up

839
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: and getting ready for the process. At this point in

840
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

841
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 5: I think the big thing was being able to see

842
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 5: Schuder Sanders and all the attention that he commands. It's

843
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 5: one thing to kind of watch him on TV, to

844
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 5: study him on tape but it's another to kind of

845
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 5: be in his presence, and even though he didn't participate

846
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 5: in any of the workouts, you got a chance to

847
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 5: feel his ror, his presence. You got a chance to

848
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 5: get some feedback when coaches were able to talk to him.

849
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 5: And I think the big thing that came up, and

850
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 5: it's in an article. I think it may be an

851
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: article on ESPN. Tron Davenport may have put it out there,

852
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 5: Brian Callahan making the comparison that Shuder Sanders and Joe

853
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 5: Burrow are comparable and in some aspects when it comes

854
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 5: to touch, timing, anticipation, their feel, and their float of

855
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 5: the game. And so I tweeted that out there, like,

856
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I can see that comparison.

857
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 4: Because I've heard it before. I see some of it.

858
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 5: And man acts twitter verse when absolutely bananas when you

859
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: compare Shaduur Sanders to Joe Burrow, and they talked about

860
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow was elite when he came out of LSU

861
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 5: and those things, and you know Shadur doesn't have that.

862
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 5: And the only thing that I will can go back

863
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 5: and forth when people talk about Joe Burrow and Hudure

864
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 5: is the comparison is not a direct reflection of a

865
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 5: I think he's going to be Joe Burrow.

866
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: It is playing style wise.

867
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 5: Shuder Sanders can play or exhibits traits that are very

868
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 5: similar and familiar to Joe Burrow.

869
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow played and won a national title at.

870
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 5: LSU, but he also had you've probably heard of these

871
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 5: two wide receivers, Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase.

872
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 4: Clyde Edwards. Ller was also our first round pick.

873
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they told me that he only had one pro

874
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 5: up front, but I was like this, Gil, guys were terrific.

875
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 5: Shuder Sanders will not have a receiver from Colorado that

876
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 5: will be drafted in the first round.

877
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 4: He will have Well.

878
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 5: I'll take that back because Travis Hunter is a part

879
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 5: time player. Travis Hunter was also with him at Jackson State,

880
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 5: but none of the players that he played with at

881
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 5: Jackson State will be first round picks. And so I

882
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 5: say that what you can get out of watching Shuder

883
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 5: in both of those areas, how can you handle playing

884
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 5: with less? Because if you can thrive and flourish playing

885
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: with less, imagine what you can do if I give

886
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 5: you the opportunity to play with more. So when you're

887
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 5: doing the evaluation you're banking on, well, what if he's

888
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 5: surrounding with a level talent on the outside, how could

889
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 5: could he be? And so some of that evaluation will

890
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 5: be that because cam Ward, they'll talk about being tools,

891
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 5: that he has the tools, but he's a gunslinger, so

892
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 5: his decision making is not great, but we should do it.

893
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 5: They talk about accuracy decision making. How many times have

894
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 5: you heard coaches talk about those are the two most

895
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 5: important traits that you have to have to play successfully

896
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 5: in the league. So that's where the comparison comes from.

897
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 5: And I just kind of love making.

898
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Waves accuracy, play on time, get on schedule. Right. We

899
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: ended the hour with our guy Andy Furman, and we

900
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: got a quick bid into what the Bears are trying

901
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: to build with Ben Johnson. They bring in Eric the Enemy.

902
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: What's the number one thing you hear about getting to

903
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: work with Caleb Williams and what the big differences between

904
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: he and Jared Goff Right? When you talk about playing

905
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: on schedule, on rhythm and building an offense. I will

906
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: have you know that your tweet from fourteen hours ago

907
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: is over one hundred thousand views. How do you like that? There?

908
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: You go making waves nicely done. Content creator Bucky Brooks

909
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: still hang that one in the move. The follow up

910
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: has already gone over thirty thousand as well. I point

911
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: to Tennessee, which is interesting, right, Borganzhi. A couple of

912
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, their GM said, look, we're not going to

913
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: pass on a generational talent. So immediately, you know, in

914
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: my brain, as I'm looking at this board, I start

915
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: thinking about Abdul Carter. He's the guy that stands out.

916
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: And you know how much I hate the term generational

917
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: talent because we do it every year regard, you know,

918
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: depending on the position, like it doesn't matter. We're gonna

919
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: find a generational guy and we're gonna jam in there.

920
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: The only time we haven't done that really is for Kicker,

921
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Aubrey, here's your generational talent. All right, fine, But

922
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: for Tennessee and Callahan. I had this argument with Smith

923
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: the other day, right because Shador you know, said some

924
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: fun and provocative things, you know, talking about, oh, I

925
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: can't wait to play here, you know, against the Cowboys,

926
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: and Jason jumped on saying, well, it's got to go

927
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: to the giants and this is where you're gonna go.

928
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm like well, what's to say Tennessee doesn't want him?

929
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: Is Nashville suddenly not a desirable spot? Like we talk

930
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: about for coaches one of thirty two for NFL players,

931
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: I only believe the invisible hand's gonna fight so hard

932
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: because you can become a legend no matter where you're playing.

933
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: Look at the comparisons to Joe Burrow. He plays a Cincinnati,

934
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati which has had some fine quarterbacks through the year. Right,

935
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: I evidently you know with some occasion we'll slip up

936
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: and start comparing you know, the Carson Palmer, tj Huschman, Zada,

937
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson, Rudy Johnson. Oh wait, they had a really

938
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: good offense. They didn't win nearly as well as they

939
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: should have, but they stabilized things with Marvin Lewis. Same

940
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: thing here when we start talking about some of those comparisons,

941
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: you go win and become a legend anywhere. And so

942
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: who's to say Tennessee doesn't look at Shaduur as that guy?

943
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: So Callahan kind of talking it up. If nothing else,

944
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: it gets the Giants a bit nervous. And maybe you

945
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 1: have now a sign that says we're open for business.

946
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think some of that is that you have

947
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 5: to figure out what's real and what's not and does

948
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 5: is he putting the chum into water to maybe entice

949
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 5: someone to come up because they ultimately want to move

950
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 5: back and maybe select the pass rusher. What you have

951
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 5: to do is in our business, when I was working

952
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 5: with the Carolina Panthers, we used to mock the mocks. Right,

953
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 5: So in the back of the room we used to

954
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 5: have a board with all of the prominent mock drafters,

955
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 5: right your Kuypers of the world, some of the other

956
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 5: guys that were really well known and prominent and well respected.

957
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 5: And what we would do is every time they would

958
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 5: drop a mock, we would track which players were in

959
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 5: the first round and where were they associate who were

960
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 5: they associated with, And over time you look to see

961
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 5: if those things stay consistent or if they fluctuate and move.

962
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 5: Then you're trying to assist, well, who is the mocker

963
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 5: talking to, is getting inside of information? Who are the

964
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 5: best ones, Who are the guys that we know are

965
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 5: connected and maybe they have a little more intel than

966
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 5: we got. So that's really where the mock drafting kind

967
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 5: of really extend from really exploded because it gave you

968
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 5: an opportunity to try and connect the dots on who

969
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 5: teams are going to take based on what mock drafters

970
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 5: put out given enough information to make educated guests as

971
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 5: opposed to look, I'm just gonna pull it, put a

972
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 5: mock out there and draw clicks.

973
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we could certainly do that, which is

974
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: why you get diversions, you know, one point one eight

975
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: for some folks by time we get to April, because hey,

976
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: fresh content, as you say, and get folks excited, excitable,

977
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: and how much is real? How much has imagined art

978
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: versus science, facts versus theory, theory, testing, et cetera. To

979
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: see what kind of reaction you draw in your first

980
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: and I just tweeted it out at Swollen Dome. You've

981
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: got Scheduur going to Tennessee, Abdual Carter going and showing

982
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: up alongside Miles Garrett there in the planet Cleveland before

983
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: cam Ward comes off the board, third with the Giants

984
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: for the for the Browns. Does it just become the

985
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: you're still costs with the evatuation and being tied to

986
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson that you have to issue the position there

987
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: because we've seen how sensitive he is to competition or

988
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: perceive competition in a locker room.

989
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think the thing with Deshaun is like

990
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 5: you think you have to operate like he's not gonna

991
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 5: be there.

992
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 4: I don't think you do anything with him in mind.

993
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 5: When you think about the Cleveland situation, you try to

994
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 5: take the best player to fit what it is that

995
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 5: Kevin Stefanski wants to do. Kevin Stefanski has resumed play

996
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 5: calling duties. He gave those up because he was trying

997
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 5: to build an offense that with a peace Watson. Now

998
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 5: that's no longer in play. I think he's taking control

999
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 5: of his team again. And would I be surprised to

1000
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 5: see him take a quarterback. No, I would expect him

1001
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 5: to kick some tires on people in free agency as well. Yeah,

1002
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 5: to sign Watson's non factor in this decision.

1003
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 4: His money's his money. He's gonna get his money.

1004
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 5: He's not going to be available for more most of

1005
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 5: the season, So I think it's time to kind of

1006
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 5: punt on the deal.

1007
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 4: Keep on the team if you want to whatever. But

1008
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 4: I think this is the verse.

1009
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 5: It's the opportunity for Kevin Stefanski to reset and reclaim

1010
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 5: his franchise, which he kind of gave up the last

1011
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 5: couple of years.

1012
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: Boy, I would love to be a fly on the

1013
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: wall in that room with Haslam and Barry and trying

1014
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,479
Speaker 1: to explain, all right, it's done, it's done. He's hurt,

1015
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: he's not even here. Can we address the locker room

1016
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: once and for all? As we pushed forward, Travis Hunter

1017
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: going to New England a number four working with Verabel there,

1018
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: how much do you see? I mean he's evaluated primarily

1019
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: as a corner at this point, isn't.

1020
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 4: He you took about Travis Hunter?

1021
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think people have to make the decision on

1022
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 5: what position he plays. If you ask me, I would

1023
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 5: say he's better suited to be a corner. And I

1024
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 5: think it's important to understand what kind of corner you

1025
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 5: getting People thinking that he's going to be the next

1026
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 5: Sauce Gardener. He's going to go and snuff out half

1027
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 5: of the field and choke people out. That's not really

1028
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 5: his game. When you watch him play, he is a

1029
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 5: guy that you want to put in zone coverage because

1030
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 5: his best attributes as a wide receiver, as a Playmakert corner,

1031
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 5: his ball skills, his hands, his unbelievable instincts, and awareness. Well,

1032
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 5: I want to kind of play to that by playing

1033
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 5: more zone and allowing them to kind of read eyse

1034
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 5: of the quarterback, get a feel for what's developing in

1035
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 5: front of him, and then just go make plays on

1036
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 5: hunches and educated guesses. He does that, he has a

1037
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 5: chance to be a really special player in the league

1038
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 5: if he is used as a wide receiver primarily, he

1039
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 5: could be a good player, But he's not refined enough.

1040
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 4: To be a great player yet.

1041
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 5: Now he can develop routrunning skills in those things, but

1042
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 5: he certainly doesn't have a level route running ability. At

1043
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 5: six foot one hundred eighty five pounds, he's a big

1044
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 5: corner at six foot hundred eighty five pounds it wide out,

1045
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 5: He's just another guy from a size speed standpoint. So

1046
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 5: I think Travis is a good pick for him. We

1047
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 5: talk about like whether he goes to the Patriots and

1048
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 5: does the two way thing with Mike Vrabel, who's very

1049
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 5: familiar with that light considering how he did it for

1050
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 5: the Patriots sure before becoming a Hall of Famer deer.

1051
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: I think in the great pass Catchers we ever saw Yeah, yeah,

1052
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: short yardage goal line guy certainly knows playing the second

1053
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: and would love the you know, whatever the work ethic

1054
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: that it took to be the elite athlete Travis Hunter.

1055
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: He'd fit in well with the style of play that

1056
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: vrabel try to impact there in New England at Bucky

1057
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Brooks where you find him in the Twitter verse, find

1058
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: me over at Swollen don't find him also at Big

1059
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Play Football you read him Fox sports dot Com, NFL

1064
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: another change getting ready to come to college football in

1065

1066
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,800

Speaker 1: on this spring. We'll talk all about it as we

1068

Speaker 1: continue as Don't worry, we'll get into some of that Luka,

1069
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: Doncic and Anthony Davis trade scuttle butt as well as

1070

00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: me and my got Bucky Brooks at Bucky Brooks where

1099
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: you find him? Find me over at Swollen Dome and Bucky.

1100
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this one. Matt Ruhle

1101
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 1: talking about the transfer portal and an impact that it

1102
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: may have, saying that he doubted Nebraska would even have

1103
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: a spring scrimmage on April twenty sixth, blunt and explaining why, quote,

1104
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, but I'll be honest with you,

1105
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: I highly doubt it, and I think it's really fundamentally,

1106
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: I hate to say it. It's because last year we

1107
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: were one of the most televised spring games, and I

1108
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of people offering our players a

1109
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities after that. So to go out and

1110
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: bring in a bunch of new players and showcase them

1111
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: for other schools to watch doesn't make a whole lot

1112
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: of sense to me. It's a new world. Look at that,

1113
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look the spinoffs, some good, some bad, some unintended.

1114
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: The consequences of the showcase games. I've always wondered for

1115
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: spring games. You know, some of that possible ability existing,

1116
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: you know of what you expose on tape, well who

1117
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: you see, depth chart availability, all that fun stuff. But

1118
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: now we get into this part of things of hey,

1119
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: you got your money man sitting on the phone just

1120
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: watching the you know, a second down play, because yeah,

1121
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: I kind of like the left tackle let's go to work.

1122
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you have some of that.

1123
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 5: And I do understand his reluctance to put his team

1124
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 5: out there, because you don't want to basically prepare somebody

1125
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 5: for somebody else, to prepare a player for someone.

1126
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 4: Else to come in and swipe.

1127
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 5: And given the look the way the portal repeatedly is open,

1128
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 5: given the fact that people are always sniffing around.

1129
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 4: The program, I understand it. I dig it. I mean,

1130
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 4: I'm with him.

1131
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 5: I actually appreciate his transparency when it comes to kind

1132
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 5: of saying why he won't open it up and why

1133
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 5: he won't do those things.

1134
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it.

1135
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's that unintended consequence to it all, because

1136
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: you want the exposure and certainly Spring games have given

1137
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: us a lot of great viral moments, Nebraska being one

1138
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: of them. Jack Hoffman, who recently passed, we remember those

1139
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: moments of you know, the kids playing and getting on

1140
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: the field and everything else that goes through it, and

1141
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: certainly that source of pride of being the top rated

1142
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: and having that venture. Whereby you might as well have

1143
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: the phone number for the collectives and different entities at

1144
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: the bottom of the screen. It's like, you like what

1145
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: you see here, you could be part of it by

1146
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: sending us ten ninety five a month for the next

1147
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: that left. It's like when you get the I mean,

1148
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day is coming up here, Bucky. I don't know

1149
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: if you've seen it, the different zoos, Hey adopt an animal?

1150
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: You want to adopt a hissing cockroach on behalf of

1151
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: an X. Come on in for a certain dollar amount.

1152
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: Same thing here, Hey, that that offensive lineman. You could

1153
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: say you were part of the squad that brought him

1154
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: to campus. But you're always close, right, I mean, the

1155
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: recruiting never ends at this point.

1156
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 4: It never ends.

1157
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 5: It's one of those things that you have to kind

1158
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 5: of stay on you know, you got to stay on

1159
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 5: top of it.

1160
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 4: You got to continue to recruit your own guys.

1161
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 5: You have to continue to find various ways.

1162
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 4: To make your guys want to play for you.

1163
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 5: It's a different hustle, it's a different time, but that

1164
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 5: is kind of where we're at when it comes to

1165
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 5: all of this.

1166
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 4: Like guys want to.

1167
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 5: If you want certainty in those things, you got to

1168
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 5: make sure that you do some things to keep them around.

1169
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: Now you have another resident Big tenn apologist in the

1170
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: in the house with us in Iowa, Sam in for

1171
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: Chris Purfett this morning. Please that Sam's up and early

1172
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: with us, so I'm sure we'll want to chime in

1173
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: on this next one. Because the coaches also got into

1174
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: it a little bit, and Brett Beelima made the rounds

1175
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: in the Twitter verse three point two million impressions. You've

1176
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: got a ways to go, Bucky with your shador Sanders.

1177
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: I will retweet the hell out of it to get

1178
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: you face as they could. But a few days ago

1179
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: someone pointed out the old if you cheat to win,

1180
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: you've already lost, and it was a Jim Harbaugh quote.

1181
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Brett Bei Lama at Brett Belama, really, why did you leave?

1182
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Was looking forward to playing, but understand why you ran

1183
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: to the NFL. See this ties back to the Pete

1184
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Carroll thing we were talking about earlier. See what you know?

1185
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Like we can bring it all together see you in

1186
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: the future and can't wait. Fam millionly fam I LLL

1187
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: Y with the I L L capitalized hashtag I L

1188
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: L What do you think there, Bucky? Little parting shot

1189
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: there for Brett bi Lama in the process as we

1190
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: have what is one hundred and thirty seven pages on

1191
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Michigan Now, well, I.

1192
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 5: Think I think he is one of those that begin

1193
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 5: is okay? So we talked about wrestling auto time. Yeah,

1194
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 5: someone has to take on the role of the heel.

1195
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 5: Brett Billman is doing that. First we had the little

1196
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 5: timeout signal snaff yeah game where he got into it

1197
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 5: with Shane Beemer.

1198
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 4: Shane Beemer's like, what is your deal? Uh?

1199
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 5: Britt Bilma being one of the heavyweights, Shane Beemer could

1200
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 5: not get in that fight like Jimmy super flat Snooker

1201
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 5: too light.

1202
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 4: To deal with it.

1203
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 5: Ravish and Brick Brew we can't put them together, but

1204
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 5: I do like a potential match Billma and Harbaugh. I

1205
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 5: might be okay seeing one of those loserly town matches

1206
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 5: between those two guys.

1207
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Be kind of fun to get them into a cage, right,

1208
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: or may have a ladder match like we had yesterday

1209
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. Yeah, Kevin Owens walking

1210
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: away with a gash on his eye. Is you want

1211
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: to take a bump? I don't know that you were

1212
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: signing up necessarily for that being that split open. But yeah,

1213
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: the carnage of royal rumble as it were. But yeah,

1214
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Bielama and Harbaugh would be fun. What do you think

1215
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I was? Sam? Are you're all for this violence between coaches? Oh?

1216
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 4: I love it?

1217
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: And Bilima?

1218
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he get into the in the mud, you know,

1219
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 5: he's he can get in there and get in the

1220
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 5: slop with these some of these coaches.

1221
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: He can wear one of those body suits like Guerrilla

1222
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Monsoon and those guys used to wear the One Man Gang.

1223
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 5: He looked great in a singlet. We can put him

1224
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 5: in a singlet. He looked great in a singlet.

1225
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 1: See, I think we've now just created a whole other

1226
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: secondary thing. Forget about the Pro Bowl games. I want

1227
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: coaches getting after it. And this is where Hey, you

1228
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: now get three recruits. Nobody can call on for a

1229
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: six month period. There we got we gotta have surprising

1230
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: in this See we've now created a whole other genre

1231
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: of sport to report on. You got ideas for this one?

1232
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Let us know at Bucky Brooks at Swollen Dome. Let's

Speaker 2: I love You're one thousand right, and I got us.

1238
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 7: Social media did not disappoint as a result of what

1239
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 7: occurred at twelve twelve am Eastern Times Sunday morning, as

1240
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 7: ESPN reported that the Los Angeles Lakers are trading Anthony

1241
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 7: Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. Here's the

01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 7: from current NBA players You might detect a common theme here.

1252
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 7: it was one hundred percent true. Guys, the reaction even

1253
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 7: coming internationally from all over the world. This is an

1254
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 7: actual tweet from a fan in Uruguay, and I'm gonna

1255
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 7: read it in its original language, Spanish because it needs

01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 7: no translation. Listen closely the reaction quote no savella un

1260
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 7: was commenting about. And guys, this trade being analyzed in

1261
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 7: every possible way, including astrologically. Oh good at the zodiac

1262
01:04:52,680 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 7: GM tweeted quote Luka Doncic Pisces with Leo Moon, Anthony

Speaker 7: Synergy Grade neutral unquote, So apparently there's a I mean,

1265
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 7: I don't know if they have this type of analysis

1266
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 7: in the NFL front office is having an astrological component

1267
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 7: to analyzing things. And finally, for me, this was the

1268
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 7: most mind blowing social media preaction of all. I'm not

1269
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 7: making this up, but guys in closing. On December twenty seventh,

1277
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: news and updates. As it were, a little news in

1278
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the w NBA. We were having a little Chad off Air,

1279
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam and i Bucky Dewana Bonner signing now with

1280
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever six time All Star w NBA champ

1281
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: as they try to load up as well to get

1282
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: things rolling for Caitlin Clark and company. But we'll stay

1283
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: with the reactions coming off the trades because we saw

1284
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA players, a few that Isaac mentioned

1285
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: there to the NFL World with Patrick Mahomes, et cetera.

1286
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: But I love the postgame presser with Kevin Durant, like

1287
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: they had a great reaction on the sideline as everybody

1288
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: was sitting on their phones and looking at each other

1289
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: incredulously as the news went down. Some great video there,

1290
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: But Kevin Durant and his post had to address this.

1291
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 4: One forces to do something.

1292
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: For sure.

1293
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 8: Start seeing stuff like that as an organization might get

1294
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 8: a little bit more curage and some stuff and you

1295
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 8: see another team trade wait or something like that. Right,

1296
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,439
Speaker 8: this guy would be the big the biggest trade, I say,

1297
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 8: since I've been in the league, since I've been watching

1298
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 8: the sport. This issially insane. So yeah, every other team

1299
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 8: might get confidence to.

1300
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 4: Say trade money players and a few of my top player.

1301
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 8: This ain't working, but yeah, I'm.

1302
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Still shock smiling from year to year, but saying, well,

1303
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: I guess everything's on the table now and it's it's

1304
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, fortune favors the bold, right, those crypto ads

1305
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: from back in the day. Obviously, it's a long standing

1306
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: mantra that got co opted there, but you get the

1307
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: point for for Kevin Durant and like, all right, I

1308
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: guess game on before the trade deadline. Uh, Brianna, I

1309
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: mean you're the resident of Phoenix Suns fan in this

1310
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Who do you think Kevin Durant should have put in

1311
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: his mouth speak into existence?

1312
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 4: Gosh, I don't know.

1313
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 9: I mean, like, I mean, I know, Jimmy Butler has

1314
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 9: been a name that's definitely been on you know, everybody

1315
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 9: has been talking about Jimmy Butler to the Suns. But

1316
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 9: that just sounds more like a headache than any kind

1317
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 9: of improvement. So you know what I have to say,

1318
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 9: Like at this point, I just don't even know what's

1319
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 9: going to happen with just any team now. Everything just

1320
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 9: seems like super duper up in the air, you know

1321
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 9: what I mean. We just added Nick Richards to like

1322
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 9: the center position, and that's been a huge improvement on

1323
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,799
Speaker 9: the defensive end for us. You know, we got Tyus

1324
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 9: Jones in the off season, so on you know, in

1325
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 9: the point guard position, we're pretty solid. So hopefully if

1326
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 9: we can get another shooter, that would be pretty awesome.

1327
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 9: But yeah, I think there's it's just it's a crazy

1328
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 9: time right now.

1329
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 1: It's fun stuff, no question about it, but certainly your

1330
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: team one of the those expected to be active ahead

1331
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: of the deadline, Bucky, I mean, it's super but I

1332
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: think everybody's now just going to be at the Twitter

1333
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: verse not really worried about odds on penalties to be

1334
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: called on the Chiefs or on the Eagles defense, but

1335
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,799
Speaker 1: more so the what the hell else is gonna fall?

1336
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: If Luca can get traded like this under cover of

1337
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: night for seemingly a little haul, and it doesn't dismiss

1338
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the greatness that is Anthony Davis. Just we normally see

1339
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: eighteen picks and a bunch of players and all sorts

1340
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: of considerations, you know, they fill their vending machines and

1341
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: everything else. To have this go down as quickly as

1342
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: it did without any kind of bidding war means the

1343
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,799
Speaker 1: next seventy two hours could be the wild West.

1344
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be the wild West.

1345
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 5: And the name that you guys mentioned, Jimmy Butler and

1346
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 5: all this stuff, he certainly could be in play.

1347
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 4: I think with Luka Dacis going for a first.

1348
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 5: Round pick, it kind of sets the table for what

1349
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler can be had for if that look man,

1350
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 5: this is the business that everyone has to understand. When

1351
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 5: it comes to the NBA, it is very transactional, and

1352
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 5: when you're talking about the amount of money that owners

1353
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 5: are paying.

1354
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 4: If there is this level that you.

1355
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 5: Don't feel like the person is the players all the

1356
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 5: way brought in, you move on from them. I actually

1357
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 5: admire what the Mavericks are doing in terms of if

1358
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 5: Luka Donski is not willing to be professional enough to

1359
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 5: come in shape, and because he doesn't come into shape,

1360
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 5: he's always hurt.

1361
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 4: That's a problem. We have to move on. The guy

1362
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 4: who I would say should be.

1363
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 5: Next would be Zion When it comes to that, we've

1364
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 5: seen the issues that Zion has had in terms of

1365
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 5: keeping his weight down and being healthy and available. He

1366
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 5: is someone if you're the Pelicans and you have to

1367
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 5: do a reset, particularly after de Jontay Murray pops his achilles, man,

1368
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 5: I think you blow it all up, You reset the culture,

1369
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 5: and you try to get it with guys that really

1370
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 5: love it, because when you have guys that love you

1371
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to be really successful.

1372
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, brandon Ingram one of those guys that's probably on

1373
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: the movie. As we go, Cam Johnson a big commodity.

1374
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, you know the devil? You know the devil?

1375
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: You don't? And how long you know a run? Are

1376
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: you trying? It's not like you're trying to get married

1377
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,520
Speaker 1: to this guy for the rest of your natural existence.

1378
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: Can you get him to come in and play meaningful

1379
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: ball for you, perform month, sell a bunch of coffee,

1380
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 1: and go on as merry way. I love the big

1381
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: face coffee as a guy with a giant bulb his head.

1382
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: It will always be one of my favorites. I got

1383
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: millionaires in a bubble. I'm getting twenty bucks a cup.

1384
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: There's no negotiating, there's no cheap out here, as it were.

1385
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: One of my favorite tweets that made the rounds though.

1386
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: This is from Connor Hughes, NFL reporter. He covers the

1387
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: Giants and Jets for SNY. He goes, if I know GM,

1388
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna go thirty eight and eight a

1389
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: night and take my team to the NBA Finals, I'm okay.

1390
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: If you're a little tubby.

1391
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 5: I think it depends on what it comes with, right,

1392
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 5: because what you have to do is you have to

1393
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 5: worry when you have a lot of egos in the

1394
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 5: locker room.

1395
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 4: If there's a perceived.

1396
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 5: Slight where you allow one guy to get away with

1397
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 5: something that you don't allow the others to do, makes

1398
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 5: it really really hard to police the team, particularly in adversity.

1399
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 5: Everyone to put up with it when you win it,

1400
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 5: but when you're losing doesn't.

1401
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 4: Go over so well.

1402
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 5: So maybe it's a market correction for what was going

1403
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 5: on in the locker room. And remember the MAVs were eight.

1404
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 5: They're sitting at eight, a team that went to the finals.

1405
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 5: Sitting at eight certainly not what they thought they were

1406
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 5: going to be doing when they are coming off a

1407
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 5: finals appearance.

1408
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, limited to twenty two games thus far, hasn't played

1409
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: in a while. Brianna, you could say what you said

1410
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: on air. I think a lot of our audience will

1411
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it and agree with you.

1412
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 9: I was just going to say, I mean, you know,

1413
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 9: the Mavericks and the Suns have had some postseason battles

1414
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 9: over the last three years, and I think Luca Dontis

1415
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 9: is a huge cry baby. I mean like he I

1416
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 9: think he's going to need Motawks in the next like

1417
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 9: five years because how much whiny he does, how many,

1418
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 9: how many, how much he goes up to the refs

1419
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 9: and he's constantly complaining. So, I mean, I think he's

1420
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 9: going to fit in in La. He's definitely has the drama,

1421
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 9: you know, kind of side, and Yeah, it's going to

1422
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 9: be him and Lebron both. I mean, they're just gonna

1423
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 9: be just.

1424
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 4: I knew that was coming.

1425
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Lebron just that.

1426
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 9: Little dudeo crying to the refs every other quarter.

1427
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Here we go, Oh is she wrong?

1428
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 4: Rihanna? I knew, I knew, I knew he was coming.

1429
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 4: I knew started. I was like, is now the dynamic

1430
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 4: duo Whiny one and Whiny two playing together should be

1431
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 4: a lot of fun.

1432
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,839
Speaker 5: Can't wait for the Phoenix Suns uh Ellie Lakers matchup

1433
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 5: so Luca and Devin Booker can continue their conversation.

1434
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 1: Tell me you don't want I show on the referee though,

1435
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 1: like I need you know, all these different cameras that

1436
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: we have, right, here's the five jackasses at a bar,

1437
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: sitting in their couches or whatever else. Manning cast that

1438
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: started it all, and now we get all these super casts.

1439
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: Now one that's just evaluated the referee dealing with Luca

1440
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: uh and and Lebron. Is this the time he blows

1441
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: the whistle, and because it's the tea, he's got to

1442
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: give one eventually, Dudney, Dudney, look at Reddick's losing his

1443
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: hair by the minute gone, and he's got that duke thing. Man.

1444
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 4: Come on, he's gotten a little grayer this year.

1445
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 1: I always say, no, no, no, Look, he's aging like a president.

1446
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 1: Just that fast. Heavy is the head who wears the crown. Breonna,

1447
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 1: thank you for the insight, Iowa Sam as well. Of

1448
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: course that's Bucky Brooks at Bucky Brooks over there out

1449
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 1: by Carmen. I had swollen home where you find me.

1450
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: As we finish, I had no better story from the

1451
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: weeks up that Jason and I chopped up a little bit.

1452
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: But in case you missed it, one of the great

1453
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 1: sound bites of the week to get you started for

1454
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Why because it's one of the great plays.

1455
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Well that wasn't made. We'll talk about it next year

1456
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: on Fox. So we call a callback in the business

1457
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: by our guy, I was Sam. Welcome back in It's

1458
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radios. Fox Football Sunday coming up in about

1459
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,759
Speaker 1: ten minutes from now. We've got countdown to Kickoff, presented

1460
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: by Bet MGM lots more coming out of potential implications

1461
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: and extensions of the Mavericks Lakers trade. Keep it locked

1462
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,640
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio all day long as more of

1463
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,719
Speaker 1: those become apparent and maybe some other dominoes get ready

1464
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: to fall as we get closer to the trade deadline,

1465
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: some tax implications and such off the move for Dallas

1466
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: that might allow them to add to Ad Kyrie and

1467
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson for the Lakers as well. Still in the

1468
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: search for a big man that an opportunity may still

1469
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: present itself there, so far from done as the silly

1470
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: season ramps up as Super Bowl Week gets underway, at

1471
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks where you find him find me over at

1472
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: Swollen Dome. Thanks to our team this morning, Samna and

1473
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: Isaac and of course Mark Ramsey with us a little

1474
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: bit earlier on last thing I wanted to get to.

1475
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 1: Bucky goes back to one of the great plays that

1476
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: wasn't made in Super Bowl history. We can all remember

1477
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to dive on a loose ball from one

1478
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and he didn't bother to and it's forever

1479
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: going to define his legacy as well as his MVP talk. Well,

1480
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: he joined Stephen A. Smith and was asked point blank, hey,

1481
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: would you trade it?

1482
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 5: I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that

1483
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 5: league MVP for a Super Bowl championship, would you do it?

1484
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Nope? Oh?

1485
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 4: Really?

1486
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Really, what's more important?

1487
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 10: Impact or championships? If we're being honest, the impact of

1488
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 10: you holding yourself accountable to say everybody has a responsibility

1489
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 10: to do.

1490
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 4: And you could say, as.

1491
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 10: An MVP Award winner or All American, you've hailed Joe

1492
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 10: sil or you've hailed.

1493
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: Joe into the bargain down.

1494
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 4: And that's what it really comes down to for me.

1495
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 1: I know that's not the popular pick.

1496
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 10: I'm trying to beep popularized, but my take is I'm

1497
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 10: taking individual success because I.

1498
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Did my job, except for jumping on a fumble that

1499
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: would have saved some things. Thirty five touchdowns against ten

1500
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 1: picks that year, fifteen to one record, completed fifty nine percent.

1501
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: We'd be killing him for the fifty nine point eight

1502
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: percent these days. But obviously the effectiveness running the football MVP.

1503
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: We generally only go to MVPs if we can't talk

1504
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: about your championships, Bucky. So as much as I like

1505
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: the impact and Cam clearly secure with himself. This one,

1506
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: to me is a curiosity given you know it is

1507
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: the ultimate team sport.

1508
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, we say that, but then I don't know because,

1509
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 5: like really, when we talk about like GoJ and being great,

1510
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 5: I've talked to Hall of famers who said they would

1511
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 5: rather have a gold jacket than a Super Bowl ring

1512
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,839
Speaker 5: because as a Hall of Famer, you're recognized as.

1513
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 4: Being the elite of the elites.

1514
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 5: And when you go farther into that quote, he talked

1515
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 5: about Brad Johnson and Trent del for being quarterbacks of

1516
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 5: Super Bowl winning teams, I can see why you would say, like, look,

1517
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 5: when you recognized as the MVP, you recognized for being

1518
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 5: the best player in the league that year. And for

1519
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,600
Speaker 5: Cam Newton to be MVP with I mean, who do

1520
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 5: he have Like he had somebody Brown, CHUCKI Brown, Tucky Brown,

1521
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 5: tied again, Junior.

1522
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 4: On the outside.

1523
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 5: The only notable player that he had on the outside

1524
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 5: was Greg Olsen. I understand why it means a lot

1525
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 5: to him. Yeah, we'll talk about him not jumping on

1526
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 5: the ball in those things, but there have been other

1527
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 5: guys who made at gregious airas in ball games.

1528
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 4: I can understand it.

1529
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 5: I can understand the legendary piece of being a part

1530
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 5: of a Super Bowl champion, but man selfishly to go

1531
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 5: out there and say you'd rather be an MVP.

1532
01:18:58,240 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 4: I'm not mad at it.

1533
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: Oh No, I appreciate the candor. I mean, we always

1534
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: want guys to be honest, and then we crush them

1535
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: if they if they're not. Just for me thinking about

1536
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 1: it from the football side, even if you go to

1537
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,719
