39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: the season with a new head coach that really is

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: out of his depth and justin Fields a quarterback.

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: You predicted the Super Bowl? No, I did not. I

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 3: did not. That was two years ago when we got

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. Well, you didn't know your coach was out

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: of his depths immediately. No, I don't play the video.

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Tape No no, no Today Today Aaron Glenn has taken

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: on beat writers well you know, upset like uh.

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Boy, but yeah to New York and that's what he does.

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: This is how it goes.

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Uh. We will have big NBA news coming up in

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: a bit. As I believe they have broken ground on

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the Nico Harrison statue outside of Crypto, I think they're

52
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: knocking down all the other statues to put up the

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Nico Harrison statue. The Gretzky statue is gone, Magic's gone,

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: everything else is gone, and we're.

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: Gonna have just the Nico and it's gonna be larger

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: than life.

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: No.

58
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: I think when you go to Crypto, you'll end up

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: sitting between Nico Harrison and Chick her Nko.

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: He gets a place of prominence where you just sit

61
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: for a spell and say thank you. You know, if

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Jack can't come to the games anymore, do they give

63
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Nico Jack's chair Like I think they should like that.

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: There should be some kind of passing of the torch

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: or changing their gut. Hey, Nico Harrison here, he got

66
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, we want you to sit here because boy,

67
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: you really saved franchise.

68
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: Straight to that level of prominence. Look, I mean we

69
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: don't have proof of concept. Just yeah, and I mean

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: it looks great and they're playing well, but you know,

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: do you got to finish the job first before you

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: fully make that statue. Well, he's what would the pos.

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Be is he sitting there with a pen in hand

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: or no him, it would be well, you have to

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: be him talking to a reporter, a Dallas reporter where

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: he's pointing his finger at him getting mad at him

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: for challenging him on the trade, or him talking to

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: a kid wearing a Laker's Luca jersey. That's like, either

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: one of those would be great Nico statues. I think

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: that's where you gotta go. That'd be awesome. You're welcome. Yes,

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Nico Harrison fired as general manager of the Dallas Mavericks today.

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Will have that story coming up in a few minutes.

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: But in the last hour we have seen the brand

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: new college football playoff poll come out and not a

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: ton of surprises. Ohio State, Indiana after the great escape

86
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: over Penn State, Texas, A and M are at the

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: top of the college football rankings. Georgia is also there

88
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: in the top five, Alabama two, so not a lot

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: of change in what we've seen so far, and when

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: you look at the rankings, you have to understand that

91
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: the teams that are ranked eleventh and twelfth, they're gonna

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: get knocked out because the best non Power five champ,

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: non Power four champion is gonna get in that South Florida,

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: the ACC champion is going to get in as well.

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: So just get that.

96
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: You see this twelve of you, there's still a couple

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: of things that are gonna happen with this pole.

98
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we still have a couple of squads

99
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: that have multiple games against ranked teams. We'll get a

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: few big matchups this coming weekend. I just thought it

101
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: was interesting as you go and parse through the commentary

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: when asked specifically about squads. Right, so, okay, what what's

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: the deal with Texas Tech style points? Yeah, and I

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: want to triple underscore that because we're back to the

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: old era of the pollsters with a couple of these things.

106
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: Right with Miami, Miami, they we love their offense, the

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: consistency of their offense, that's what we want. But for

108
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: Technas Tech, they flat out set too many field goals. Yeah,

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 3: like whoa, whoa, whoa now now no, no, now again,

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: Like we're going back. We're going back to the pollsters

111
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: of why did you score seventy five against this non

112
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: conference That's just what we have to do. I mean,

113
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: nobody's watching this game, so we have to make it

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: look good when they run down the scores. And that's

115
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: exactly where we're back right here. Everything old is new

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: again in this new age of college football, in this

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: new age of here's a twelve team playoffs, like no, no, no,

118
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: we're back to brass tacks, like now they kick too

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: many field goals? Yeah, I mean to hear the quotes

120
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: about the different tea and it's great that there's transparence.

121
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: I love the transparency where they talk about Texas Tech

122
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: kicking too many field goals and also member, you know

123
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: road saying about Miami.

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: We've had teams lose. It's been about their consistency with Miami.

125
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: The head to head win with Notre Dame comes up

126
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: all the time. So they seem to love Miami, not

127
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: love Texas Tech as much, which is okay because we're

128
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: still a long time to go, and usually stuff susses

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: itself out. Right, We're not gonna get to three weeks

130
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: or three games from now, we have the last couple

131
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: of games, and then we have the conference championships, where

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna be sitting here talking about a ton of teams.

133
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you where the big conversation is gonna be.

134
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: And it keeps going back to the one thing that's

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest item the College Football Playoff

136
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Committee has to deal with. No matter what they do,

137
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: this is the biggest thing. And I saw it last year.

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: I saw it going into the end of last year,

139
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: and I saw it this year, and I see it.

140
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: I see it, Mike, I see, I see. I've been

141
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: seeing the whole time. Christ The difference that's going to

142
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: be between two loss teams and three loss teams whose

143
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: third loss is in the conference championship game. That's going

144
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: to be the biggest sticky wicket of who gets into

145
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: that eleventh and twelve slot and who doesn't. Which is

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you they're gonna have to go to

147
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: sixteen at some point, because you're gonna have to take

148
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: the teams that get to the conference championship games. You

149
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: get to the Big ten, the SEC, the ACC even

150
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: if you want to do it for the Big twelve,

151
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled with it. But okay, you get to

152
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: the conference title games, you get into the playoff because

153
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that's the fairest way to do it. Because think about this, right,

154
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: you have a couple of teams that control their own

155
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: destiny outside of the top twelve right now, and I'll

156
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: give you a couple of teams. I'll give you USC

157
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Okay, USC and Michigan right now are sitting

158
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen in the in the poll. USC closes the season,

159
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: they are two lost USC team. They close the season

160
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: with Iowa, Oregon UCLA. Right, so wait a minute, they

161
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: beat Iowa top twenty five team, Oregon top ten team UCLA. Okay,

162
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: two loss team, they should get in, right, they move up.

163
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: But if they lose the Big Ten championship game, which

164
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: would be really right up on brand for Lincoln Riley

165
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to make it that far and lose the Big Ten

166
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: championship game. Okay, you have a USC team's got a

167
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: couple of those wins, but they lost a Big Ten championship.

168
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Do you still take them over a two loss team

169
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: that didn't make their conference chap that's maybe ranked a

170
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: little bit higher Michigan. Same thing. They control their own destiny. Right,

171
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: they have Northwestern this week, then they have Maryland. They

172
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: win both those games, they beat Ohio State, Right, they

173
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: gotta be in. Right, you're beating number one team in

174
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: the country. You gotta get in. But then Michigan goes

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: to the Big Ten title game and they lose. Do

176
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: you still take Michigan a three loss Michigan team over

177
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: a two loss team that has a better resume. But hey,

178
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: they've only lost two games Michigan and USC And I

179
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: could say it for a lot of teams, those two

180
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: loss teams. To get into that conference championship game, you're

181
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: gonna play a team that's really good. Right, you're playing

182
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: in that conference championship game. You're not playing some you know,

183
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: fly by night team that you know it wins, that

184
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: wins their way in. Like it's like it's the uh,

185
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, the first four of the NCAA tournament. You're

186
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: playing a really good So if you lose to a

187
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: top five, top seven team in the conference, okay, you're

188
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: supposed to lose that, But if you have these other

189
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: big wins, like that's gonna be the biggest thing that

190
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: the committee's got to decide, is boy, do we take

191
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: this three loss team, do we take this two loss team?

192
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: What do we factor in when it comes to conference

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: championship games and the real And that's why the best

194
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: thing is, okay, keep it the way it is now

195
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and take those extra four slots to get to sixteen

196
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: teams and make it the teams that get to the

197
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: conference title game, because it's still gonna be teams motivated

198
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: to get there because you want to get to the

199
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: conference title game because you're clinching a playoff spot, which

200
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is great, right you get in, you clinch, you can celebrate,

201
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: it's a fun thing to do. And you are playing

202
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: for a bye, you're playing for home field. So in

203
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: that conference title game, you're still playing for something. It's

204
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: not like, well, okay, we made it in and we

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: could just play the backups. So you're playing for a

206
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: home game, you're playing for a buye however you want

207
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: to go. There's still some things really at steak steak

208
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: in the conference title game. So that's the that's gonna

209
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: be the biggest All this other stuff and style points

210
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: that will wind it. We'll get down to just where

211
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: we're splitting hairs between one or two teams and if

212
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: you're the twelfth team, is it tough to do? But

213
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: when you're when you're saying, hey, there's three or four

214
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: teams here that lost in their conference title game. Are

215
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: they better than the two loss teams? That's gonna be

216
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: your big question.

217
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. But when you say the word better, that gets

218
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: me excitable about the larger scope of things. Because you

219
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: bring up Michigan, you bring up USC has two examples

220
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: of guys of teams that can crash the party. What

221
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: do they also bring a lot of fans, a lot

222
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: of eyeballs, And it's a TV show. It's a TV show.

223
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: So that's that's where we get back into the we've

224
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: got this. I always bring up the underpants gnomes from

225
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: South Park, Right, it was steal underpants. Step two is

226
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: a giant question mark, and step three was profit. Right,

227
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: So Cartman's losing his mind and everybody, you know, they're

228
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: like trying to figure out this mystery. It's the same

229
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: thing here. There's this giant, nebulous gray area of what

230
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: gets us to our final twelve teams. Because the difference

231
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: between two losses and three seems elemental seam all right,

232
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: three grander the two. Yeah, it's done.

233
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: No, no regular season okay, but when you play that

234
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: extra game, you shouldn't be able to get penalized for it.

235
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: But I know, the big what committee is hoping for

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: is going we hope this team gets in. This two

237
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: loss team gets in and loses forty two to three,

238
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: then we don't have to take them in and it's

239
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: not out there, but it doesn't matter. It's still an

240
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: extra game. The other team could have played and lost

241
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: forty two to three two, so.

242
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: That yeah, But I mean, if they get watched, it

243
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: helps to solve that that part of the equation, cause

244
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: you can just say, okay, that third loss was a disaster.

245
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: This is who they are at this point the season,

246
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: right because we did that, and we've done that with

247
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: injuries and the assessments and again the way they're parsing

248
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: out things here field goals they won. No, no, no,

249
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: it's not pretty. I need pretty football. So that's gonna

250
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: be an interesting thing to watch these next couple of weeks. Again,

251
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: you've only got a couple of squads that have multiple

252
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: games left against rank squads, so they have the opportunity

253
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: to really distance themselves in four to five things. But

254
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: then we I mean South Florida is in there. They're

255
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: number twenty five, you know what I mean. Like the

256
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: way these things work, I can imagine some of the

257
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: big conferences coming back doing the the old all right,

258
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: here's you know what, why are we letting them in

259
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: the party if they're twenty fifth in the nation. So

260
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: there's other fights that will fall out of this to

261
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: where we we really have that argument for that sixteen

262
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: team expansion near term.

263
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: We're getting there. I'm telling you you don't. You don't

264
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: want that decision out there. You had it last year

265
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: with Miami and it was a question in and I'm

266
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: doing the six seven six seven, but it was okay,

267
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: hey three lost team not in the conference yet, it

268
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: was okay, But in that conference championship game.

269
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: That's a thing.

270
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: That's a thing, Mike Harmon, it's a thing. I'm telling

271
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: you that that you gotta solve. I'm helping you out committed.

272
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: All the style points you want to talk about with

273
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Texas Tech and the Hurricanes all you can, but that's

274
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: you gotta solve. I like the transparency, but sometimes you

275
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: don't want to say the quiet part out loud because

276
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: now you've opened up a lot of speculation as to

277
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: how you're gonna parse that parse those things out, exit

278
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,280

328
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: NBA is Today the Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison months

329
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: after the ill advised Luka Doncic's.

330
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,359
Speaker 3: Trade to the Lakers under cover of night. Yeah, yeah,

331
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: we want no more publicity for this. Now.

332
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: This happened, and you've heard a lot today if it's

333
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: long overdue, they you know, obviously this deal was terrible.

334
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: But back away from that, right to give you something

335
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: a little different than what you've heard all day about this. Yes,

336
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: the trade has failed. Obviously it's failed. Luka donci just

337
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: started to out with an MVP season already for the Lakers.

338
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: He is, I mean, he's scoring forty points a game.

339
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: Him and Austin Reeves are having three quarter shot contests

340
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: with each other during the game, like, this is how

341
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: comfortable Luca is now with the Lakers. This is how

342
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: good he has been. Anthony Davis been a tough guy

343
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: to get on and stay on the court. They started

344
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: out very rough this year, and so yes, the trade

345
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: has been a failure. But that's not why Nico Harrison

346
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: got fired. And the Mavericks didn't fire Nico.

347
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: The Mavericks didn't fire Nko. Not fire Nico. I will

348
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: tell you who fired Nico. It's not like changing it

349
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: up a little bit. No, no, no, no, I'll tell you

350
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: who fired Nico.

351
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: If it wasn't the Maverick Mavericks. You look, it may

352
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: say that, hey we've decided. No, no, no, the Mavericks

353
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: did not fire Nico.

354
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 3: They did not.

355
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: The fans fired Nko. I really thought you were going

356
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: a full Brett.

357
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 3: Screwed Brett.

358
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: The fans fired Nico Harrison. If you ever hear the

359
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: old tired adage of you know, we don't listen to

360
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the fans. The fans don't programma are to our football team.

361
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: They don't make decisions. Yeah, okay, buy and large.

362
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: I get that, But and I give you them a

363
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: tumbo finger wag.

364
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Not always, because this is exactly what Harrison got fired

365
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: because of the fans the Mavericks making this trade.

366
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: Was it an unpopular trade? Yes? Could it have.

367
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Worked, yeah, But it's months and months later, months and

368
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: months later, and still Mavericks fans are coming to the

369
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: games channing fire Nico everywhere the guy goes. There's means

370
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: the Mavericks are an embarrassment and you can't go forward

371
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: with fans continue to be pissed off at your team.

372
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't work. So there's sometimes where you need to

373
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: listen to the fans. I'll never forget. Steve Phillips told

374
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: me this once when I was at ESPN and we

375
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: were talking about he got fired by the Mets.

376
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

377
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean then Steve Phillips had, you know, had

378
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: some adventures, but this is, you know, to keep this

379
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: on the field. I asked him about getting, you know,

380
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: getting fired and the pressures in New York and he says,

381
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, but here's the thing is that sometimes when

382
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: there's an overwhelming sense from the fans that they want

383
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: something to happen, and all of a sudden, their treatment

384
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: of the team is naga and they're upset, you kind

385
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: of have no choice but to do something. And I

386
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: understood that. I understood that as a general manager, that hey,

387
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: things aren't going well. There's a mutiny and the Mets

388
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: fans want to just you know, blow torch, you know,

389
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: city Field, Chase Stadium. I need to you know, yes,

390
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: you fire me. I understand. And that's what's happened. They've

391
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: never been able to move past this trade. Mentally, they've

392
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: never been able to make it's a breakup that you're like, guys,

393
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: it's been a year later, Okay, that you're not getting

394
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: back together. It's not happening. Okay, she's moved in with

395
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: her new boyfriend. Yeah, but I don't know how good

396
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: it's going.

397
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: Ah.

398
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, I passed by the new apartment every night

399
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: and I look into the window and I don't see

400
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: them talking a lot, So I don't know what's going Well, No, dude,

401
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: it's not. They're not coming back. But they've not moved

402
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: past this. And that's what the Mavericks didn't factor into

403
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: this trade, is that the blowback from the fans was

404
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: going to be so great that they would never get

405
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: over it, never, And I am sure they thought that

406
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: at the end the year and you get in the playoffs. Hey,

407
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft. Guys, we got Cooper Flag.

408
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Now suddenly we're gonna really do some things.

409
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: But they started out slow. They've played almost every game

410
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: at home, and they've lost almost every game, and there

411
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: was no positive energy. The fans were still coming to

412
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: games channing Fire. Nico and the Mavericks knew this was

413
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: never going to change. So yes, that's why they fired

414
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Nico Harrison because they need a fresh start before the

415
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: season spirals out of control. Because you know, listen, you're

416
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: talking about being one through ten at this point. Yes,

417
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: you're starting out three to eight. But okay, Cooper Flag's

418
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: gonna continue to get his legs under him. The guy's

419
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: really he's done some stuff already. That's fantastic. But they

420
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: I applaud them because they're making the break at the

421
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: right time, because now fans can stop being pissed and

422
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: can get back into it, and there's a much better

423
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: aura around the teams. There's a much more sense of

424
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: going forward. Instead of every time we come to games

425
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: or every time you mentioned the Dallas Mavericks, it's Nico

426
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: Harrison and Fire Nico. The fans fired Nico now here.

427
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: It is beyond the chanting. You had a very big

428
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: streak end with their latest home game for the first

429
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: time in twenty four years. It was not a sellout

430
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 3: in Dallas, right, I equate it again. Go back to

431
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: the trade. We can get into the particulars of it.

432
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Jerry trading Michaeh Parsons away. Not

433
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: necessarily a bad thing for your squad. However, you're gonna

434
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: take a lot of negativity. You're gonna take a lot

435
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: of incoming kind of like you know, all of the

436
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: Avengers coming at Thanos and he's just wearing it, and

437
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: then he just brushes them off because eventually he's proven

438
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: kind of right with Nico Harrison. Same thing here, like

439
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: he got a heroes welcome for about a minute, right

440
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: once once whatever you decide on, conspiracy theories and whatever.

441
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: In part of that, Cooper flag lands and he becomes

442
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: a member of the maverage. You had a little bit

443
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: of a honeymoon last night. Great game, and then he

444
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: slipped and he got prompts. But they fall to three

445
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: and eight and they're not getting healthy anytime soon. Western

446
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: Conference is pretty deep so you can fix the glitch,

447
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: but people not buying tickets and voting to not put

448
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: asses in seats, to not keep giving you money for

449
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: an inferior product. No matter how much they may love

450
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag, they're gonna take that money that they would

451
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: have spent on a ticket in parking and concessions. They'll

452
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: buy a jersey, they'll still support him, but they're gonna

453
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 3: go sit at home and watch it and wait for

454
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: it to get better, wait for the ancillary parts to

455
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: get healthy, if that ever happens. Like you knew the

456
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: risk bringing in Anthony Davis, there was no great mystery there.

457
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: It was a wishing and hoping that these guys would

458
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 3: all play together and all would go right with the world.

459
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: And Cooper Flag just having turned eighteen would have the

460
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: same effect on the NBA as Lebron James had, just

461
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: what nobody's Lebron James. And you know how much it

462
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 3: pains me to say that.

463
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: So here we are where you fix the glitch and

464
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: you get a little bit of good will, and we're

465
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: advancing this, we're moving forward, and whoever gets chosen ultimately

466
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to lead this squad into the next era, whether they

467
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: again make more trades and shuffle up this roster and say, okay.

468
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag, who do you want to play with?

469
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: Which is really where this is gonna end up, right,

470
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: which of these veteran guys can you tolerate? Okay, we

471
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: can get rid of this contract, this contract to this

472
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: guy gone, and.

473
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: Then we move forward.

474
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: This is think about something like this, where a person

475
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: is a daily reminder of something terrible just when you

476
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: see them. It's a daily reminder of something terrible. I

477
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: don't know anything about that. Maybe it's an X. Maybe

478
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: it's someone who missed a big field goal in a game.

479
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: And then that's why that's why guys get cut because

480
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: every time I see him, I think back to that

481
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: missed field goal. But just think of every time every

482
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: Dallas fans, anytime any fan saw Nico Harrison, it was

483
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: that's the guy that screwed up and with him. Right.

484
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: But you can't have you can't have your general manager

485
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: be someone that every time he is seen by anyone

486
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: on video or in person, it's guy traded Lucas, screwed

487
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: the franchise.

488
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: You can't have that.

489
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: But I have a question for you can't go forward

490
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: when that reminder of such bad stuff and bad memories

491
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: and bad situations is prevalent every day. You have to

492
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: move on for that. You got to get that out.

493
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: You can't see that every single day.

494
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. You talked about it a little before.

495
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: You want to build a statue here for Nico in

496
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Do you build a statue of him? Or

497
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: is it Michael Finley and a can of beer?

498
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: No?

499
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. Nico is one set that in motion.

500
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: He was the fall. He was the Nico. Nico was

501
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 3: the one who made the trade.

502
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: Look, you heard Sean Serrania say today, this was Nico

503
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: Harrison's calls.

504
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: What Nico wanted to do. He's a No, Nico's the guy.

505
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: He's the guy.

506
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: He gets the statue. Michael Finley didn't get fired. He

507
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: doesn't get the statue. Nico got fired. He made that trade.

508
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: He gets the statue.

509
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: You have to and really he was just following order.

510
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: You can't.

511
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: You can get rid of every other statue. To build

512
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: that Nico Harrison statue should be like fifty feet tall,

513
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: like you should be able to walk downtown and go

514
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: look at Crypto man. That the arena is dwarfed by

515
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: the Nico Harrison status. It looks like Galactys fantastic. Like

516
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: when I remember when my wife and I UH driving

517
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: across country to drive to La.

518
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: We went to UH.

519
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: We drove through South Dakota and we went to the

520
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: bad Lands where they're building the Crazy Horse Monument. That

521
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: is a monument that can fit like what like it's

522
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna be able to fit like twelve Mount rushmoores in it.

523
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 3: And I remember going this.

524
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: We went there in the late nineties and they said, yeah,

525
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: this has been going on for twenty years, and the

526
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: architect realized this project is going to outlive him by

527
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: fifty years. So they're gonna this crazy Horse monument that

528
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: they've been building is still gonna go, and it's gonna

529
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: be for you and I. It's still gonna keep going, right.

530
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: That's how big. That's how big and how big of

531
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: a deal this Horse monument is.

532
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: I remember looking at it.

533
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: We were there and in ninety six is when we

534
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: were there and seeing it was just a little bit

535
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: of his head and his finger pointing, and now there's

536
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more of it. But I'm like,

537
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this is almost thirty years later. That's

538
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: the type of care that the Lakers need to take

539
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: into putting that Nico Harrison statue up if you if

540
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: it takes you fifty years, you need to make sure

541
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: that it's up there.

542
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 3: So you can start planning it now. I mean you

543
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: you can't put it in, you know, in cement and

544
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: and and put it outside the arena until Luca wins

545
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: something though. No, no, no, no, no, you need you

546
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: need the reminder of this is this is what jump

547
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: started our franchise. No, you need a reminder of that,

548
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: and that way you can say, oh, yeah, there's no

549
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 3: room for a Lebron statue, so you know, there's just

550
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: there's no other room. We had to look, we had

551
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: to get rid of the Gretzki one. Look, we gave

552
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: Gretzky the Gretzky statue, so he was happy to have that.

553
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's there's no room for anything else. Yeah,

554
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mean to be a Debbie downer,

555
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: but at this point you're just selling hope and change.

556
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: There's no there's nothing that's actually I'll tell you what

557
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: I feel.

558
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good if I'm the Lakers right now

559
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: after this start with and not having to think about

560
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers start this year, you.

561
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 3: Were gonna say, you don't have to worry about James.

562
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: Because you don't have to worry about Lebron James and

563
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: being healthy and how he fits into this team, because

564
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back as a third option and it's

565
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna be awkward and it's gonna be delicious. But you

566
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about Lebron running the team making

567
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: decisions because this is Luca Dontage driven right. Austin Reeves

568
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: is the number two or the one A. He's the

569
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen of this situation, and Lebron's gonna come in

570
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: and have to figure out what his role is going

571
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: to be because I'll tell you what. The minute he

572
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: tries to take over a little bit more and the

573
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Lakers start losing, Lebron, guess what, Nope, not happen anymore. Man,

574
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Go get your points. Michael Finley walking out and takes

575
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: whatever he needs. Go get your points. But the Lakers,

576
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: you didn't think this is gonna be a great start.

577
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: They've missed Luca for a little bit, They've missed Reees

578
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: for a little bit, they've missed Lebron for the whole thing,

579
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: and here there are at the top of the Western Conference.

580
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean that that's some kind of start. Yes, they

581
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: lost to the Hawks. They should not have lost that game.

582
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: But you win five and row, you lose a game. Okay,

583
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: this start by Luca. This I'm motivated, I'm in shape,

584
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: and I'm putting this team on my back. Start by

585
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Luca is the best thing you could possibly ask for.

586
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: The Lakers fan base has already embraced Luca more than

587
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: they embraced Lebron when he came, you know, six years ago,

588
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: seven years ago, they've already embraced him more than that.

589
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: They even bray, you are our guy. Lebron has always

590
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: been at arms length. You're coming here because you want

591
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: the Laker brand, you want Los Angeles. You want to

592
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: be able to push your off the court business activities. Okay,

593
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: so we like you, but yeah, you know, you're not Kobe.

594
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: You're not Shock, you're not Magic, you're not cap You're

595
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: not any of these guys. But Lucas Hey, Luca. Luca

596
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760

Speaker 1: the guy that now Hey has that un unconditional love

598

00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm okay with building the statue for Nico. Now, I'm

Speaker 1: installation tirerack dot Com.

696
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 3: He is the way tire buying should be. Well.

697
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: When you have three games in a row and you

698
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: score over one hundred and thirty points, it's pretty easy.

699
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: One of your stars will get to be the player

700
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: of the day.

701
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: Man.

702
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: It'll be after the miss got back and forced to steal.

703
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 2: Towns it.

704
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: Nixt TV on the call. Yes, another big win for

705
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: the Knicks. They beat the Grizzlies one thirty three to

706
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: one twenty Suddenly their offense is insane. And let me

707
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: just say this before we get to a big football story.

708
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: Ten games in and I can see where Mike Brown's

709
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: imprint is, specifically getting Karl Anthony Towns on board. He

710
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: is a He is a bit of a different player

711
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: from last year. Michel Bridges is a completely different player

712
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: from last year. He's the guy that's bought into the

713
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: system the most. They're using their bench really well. He's

714
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: playing the guys. He said he was gonna play the guys.

715
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: He's playing the mc clarkson's playing well. Heart's gonna be

716
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: dinged up all year, but he's still playing well. Yeah,

717
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: so far, I feel really good about this change going

718
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: forward because now other guys are starting to get on

719
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: locked under the Knick system. Little drama to start, but

720
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: now things are going pretty good.

721
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you beseid like giving them what fifteen to twenty

722
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: minutes a night and being able to utilize the bench.

723
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: Just such a vast departure from what we've seen in

724
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: past years. High TIBs, so you get an opportunity to

725
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: maybe spell these guys a bit. So in games seventy

726
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: one through eighty two and throughout the playoffs, they're not

727
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: tripping over their tongues. What will be interesting is to

728
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 3: see your team actually win a game away from Madison Square.

729
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't know if you know this. The

730
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: Knicks get to play the rest of their games at MS.

731
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: Is that right? They changed, So it's a residency like

732
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: Billy Joel.

733
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they get Yeah, whatever games they played on the road,

734
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: well you can't do them. They may want to replay them,

735
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: the losses, but all the rest of the games, all

736
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: the next seventy two all at home.

737
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: So occasionally you do go out on the road just

738
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: because you realize the bank of the scarcity of it,

739
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: so everybody can make some extra cash. But otherwise it's

740
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: home games. You got to go on the road. Man

741
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 3: Guns and Roses have been on the road for a decade.

742
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 3: Last show, finally, at least for a minute, last show,

743
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: last show till the next show. But here's the thing,

744
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: even if they're not touring again, Duffin Slash will be

745
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: in the studio or back on tour. Momentarily so today

746
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: being the day after the Giants fire head coach Brian

747
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: Dable and the New York Post ad video of Brian Dable.

00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,160

00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,600

00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: his weekly press conference today, And maybe it's a couple

754
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: of wins under his belt now, but Bill Belichick going

755
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: back to being the old Bill Belichick when he's asked

756
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: about something he doesn't want to talk about it.

757
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 3: And then when you got here, you said you're not

Speaker 3: coming here at tea.

759
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: But as soon as the Giants shot came over to

760
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: this shock, your name got thrown out there. I'm certainly

761
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: sure with other NFL jobs, What is your message to

762
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,800

00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure people are asking me about that. Who want

00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,399

00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 3: All right, So the old Bill Belichick kind of coming back.

774
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: Still a little bit longer of an answer because normally

775
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: we would just get I'm focused on wake Forest. Yeah,

776
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: but Bill X, Y and Z and Dable and they

777
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: meant your name, Yeah, I'm focused on wake Forest. So

778
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: still a little bit of the old Bill Belichick because

779
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: they've won a couple of games, but still not so

780
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: comfortable that I can just go without giving an answer

781
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: to everybody. So maybe he's on his way back to

782
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: being the old Bill, But I think it's a little

783
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: bit of a push. We saw in it a couple of

784
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: weeks ago, right as they were in the middle of

785
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: that losing streak, and there were all the rumors and

786
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: and hit pieces coming left and right about what they

787
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: were and weren't doing in terms of recruiting and all

788
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: that other stuff, And we certainly talked about it, but

789
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: he very much was, Hey, I'm committed to this job.

790
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: Whatever happens happens, right, because there are started to be

791
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of articles as other coaches started getting the

792
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: acts that whether Bill Belichick was gonna be next Guess

793
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: what a couple of wins. They're four and five and

794
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: they've got three winnable games to close out the season,

795
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden Bill Belichick Bowl Bowl Game and

796
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: building towards year two. But I would expect that response

797
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: like like, I got what do you want me to

798
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: do with this?

799
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: Like good luck?

800
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: Let me just let me just stop everybody right here,

801
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Bill Bell. There is no way that is happening. There

802
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: is no Bill Belichick is persona non grada in the NFL.

803
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: He may not even make it past this year at

804
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's not going back. That would be the

805
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: worst thing for Jackson dart Is to have Bill Bell

806
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: Belichick coaching him. You saw what Belichick did with Mac Jones.

807
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: My god, he ruined the guy. And now finally, after

808
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: a couple of years later, Mac Jones is playing well

809
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. He's ten years too late for this gig.

810
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: Right ten years ago, even five years ago, I could say, hey,

811
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: Giants head coaching job. Belichick wants to leave. Yeah, the

812
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: job he probably always wanted, but it's way too late

813
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: for him, and the Giants know this is not the

814
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: same Belichick. This is the Belichick that ruined the end

815
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: of the run for the Patriots that they needed three

816
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: years to dig out from that. Mike vrabel is finally

817
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: just digging out of it now because he wanted to

818
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: draft terribly. Because I'm not gonna set up the cupboard

819
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: and leave it, leave it full for my next guy

820
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: coming in. They know he is done. He is done.

821
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: He's a bad fit. He's not gonna be the next

822
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: head coach of the Giants. There is If that happens,

823
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: the Giants player should say, yeah, you know what not

824
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: coming to orc.

825
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this. The one thing that's the wild

826
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: card at all is maris still in charge. And what

827
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: has he done since red face Tom Coughlin left six

828
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 3: coaches one thing. I mean a couple of guys they

829
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: got fired with winning records. And here we sit and

830
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: yes it's Jackson Dart. Can you promise not to make

831
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 3: Matt Patrician the offensive coordinator. I wouldn't rule it out

832
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 3: categorically that it's cross Mayra's mind, but I think Belichick

833
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 3: wants to win in college so he can tell everybody

834
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: to stick it. Hey, Bill Belichick, if he goes there,

835
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: he can take Jackson Dart from being a great quarterback

836
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: into being a good quarterback.

837
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm also afraid that Jackson Dart's gonna be broken in

838
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: half by the end of the year, but we'll talk

839
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: about that a little bit later. I mean, you want

840
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: to he's great right now, because Jackson Dart is just

841
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: absolutely great. He'll become good to average if Belichick shows

842
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: up and the Giants know it, they know they look

843
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: like if they don't want to say, you don't want

844
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: to understand. I understand, you don't want to really just

845
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: continue to trample on the memory of Bill Belichick, NFL

846
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: head coach and the best head coach we have seen,

847
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: who has lost his fastball and is trying to stay

848
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: a head above water at North Carolina. But that is

849
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: absolutely not happening North Caroline Way, that's happening.

850
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 3: The long road begins with the first step. You don't

851
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: build a program in seven games. But for the Patriots

852
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 3: out of it, or I should say the Giant side,

853
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: if he had Scatabo, I think Bill might be interested

854
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: if that guy were fully healthy and he had the

855
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: battery is Jackson darkly throwing nine passes a game and

856
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: Scatabo's getting thirty eight carries two yards.

870
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: but I want to get get to this for a

871
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: couple seconds because this is something that's just really eerie today.

872
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: One of the big headlines in the NBA legend Michael

873
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: Ray Richardson, former Knicks NETS All Star. Many players of

874
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: the eighties called him the best guard they played against.

875
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas said Dad. He passed away today at the

876
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: age of seventy.

877
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: Hell of a career. I mean, you're talking about a

878
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: guy who played professionally for what nearly thirty years.

879
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously he had difficulty. He

880
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: was banned from the NBA for drug usage, and he

881
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: went and played overseas. But he was the Knicks big

882
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: star when I first started watching basketball, right late seventies,

883
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: early eighties, and Knicks were absolutely terrible. Right, this is

884
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: a terrible team, But Sugar Ray Richardson was the guy

885
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: and kind of before his time because he was someone

886
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: who was like an eighteen seven and seven guy, terrific

887
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: defensive player, like he could do it all. Man, he

888
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: was when I started watching, he made me want to

889
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: be a point guard. So when I played basketball from

890
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: then on, in fifth grade, middle school, high school, we

891
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: played like he made me want to be a point guard.

892
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: Do I want to be the guy with the ball?

893
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: I want to be the guy at the top of

894
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: the key defending everybody. I want to be that guy.

895
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: Right, So you wanted to play keep away and control things.

896
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: Get that seeing Sugar Ray Richardson like he was my guy,

897
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: Like you know, it's and it's I just think about

898
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 3: you know, my guys, they're all they're all dying now,

899
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: my sugar, Ray Richardson died, Mike Bossi died, and Tom

900
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 3: Seaver died. It's just he had such he was so good, sugar,

901
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: Ray Richardson, And to think about this just for a

902
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 3: second last night before the show, and Alex Tyshert's gonna

903
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: pop on here for a second before the show. It

904
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: came in and came in to say hi to to

905
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: Rob and and Kelvin and the guys in the studio.

906
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: And Rob Gera is the producer of The Odd Couple,

907
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 3: and him and Ty Shirt sitting next to other, and

908
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: we had this quick conversation about the Lakers Celtics rivalry

909
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: in the eighties, like they were doing a topic on

910
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: the show. And I said, oh man, the Laker Celtics

911
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 3: rivalries were something, uh you know, basically it broke down

912
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: along coastal lines. Like if you were on the East

913
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: Coast you were a Celtics fan, you rooted for Larry

914
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: Bird and McHale and Dennis Johnson. In Parish and the

915
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: West coast you root it for Magic Johnson the Lakers, Right,

916
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 3: That's kind of way it went. And Ty Shirt you

917
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: said to me, so wait, you root it for the Celtics.

918
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: I go, well, when the playoffs came, the Knicks were

919
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: never in it. So in the early eighties, like you watch,

920
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: you know, the Celtics were great, the Knicks back. They

921
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: were in a couple of times. Man, it's just a

922
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 3: couple of times. And who did I say to you

923
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 3: is my favorite player last night? Who did I say?

924
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: Because my guy was Sugar Ray Richardson, Like he was

925
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: the best player the Knicks had. Man, I mean, the

926
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: Knicks were really bad, but boy was he really really

927
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: good The first time I've talked about him. I don't

928
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: know the last time. Because I told that story to

929
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: my wife today. She goes, I've known you for thirty

930
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: five years. I have never heard you say his name,

931
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: and you said it last night. I said, yeah, I

932
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: said it last night, and today I saw the I

933
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: get online. I'm like, oh my god, the guy died,

934
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: Like that was the guy who told you about last night?

935
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: It was, I mean, it was. I can't get over

936
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: that that. I'm again, I don't know the last time

937
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: I talked about Sugar Ray Richardson. I really don't, but

938
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: I brought it up last night to them talking about

939
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: the rivalry, and I wake up to them like you

940
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: you've got to be kidding me.

941
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna call Michael Ray and distance him from

942
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: the Sugar. Well that was all thing because that was

943
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: Sugar Ray Leonard was a big deal back then. So

944
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 3: that's why I got Yeah but what mean yeah, well okay, yeah,

945
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: but that was still his nickname at the time. I'm

946
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: calling him Michael Ray. You know, I'm remembering him as

947
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 3: the basketball.

948
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: And then he spelled his name differently, like he wanted

949
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: to go first, he went back to the A and

950
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: then you.

951
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 3: Know, see, I think secretly some of the teachers that

952
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: I encountered in school were Michael Ray Richardson fans because

953
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: they would spell Michael the other way. Well I don't

954
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: spell it that way. Yeah whatever, But yeah, man, you're

955
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: talking about a guy who both ends of the court,

956
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 3: big time contributions. Unfortunately, uh, your my bulls, your nicks

957
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: not not very good. But when they got together, boy, yeah,

958
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 3: they'd fight like kats and dogs.

959
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: No they're not they're not They're not good. No, they

960
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: weren't good, which is why everybody gravitated to Lakers.

961
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 3: And so, hey, the Celtics are in the playoffs. Let's

962
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: watch I just remember a drunken family member running way

963
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: after we advanced in the playoffs. We went to the

964
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: old Stadium and he's chanting beat Boston and suddenly had

965
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 3: more fans and friends around him than he ever did before.

966
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: But your Knicks, yeah, they were They were not good.

967
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 3: You know what did good things. I mean he was

968
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: on yeah short, terrifically Watts and others.

969
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: He could do everything. He did it, He did it all.

970
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: It was great defensively. This is who the Knicks were

971
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: in the early eighties. You know how the Clippers put

972
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: out that season ticket package few years ago. We still

973
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,759

987
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 3: The Patrick man when he came in to put it

988
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 3: in perspective, he so loved the game of basketball and

989
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,000

00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: Jets have had a chance to talk about it. Specifically

00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. We know he's now out for at least

1008
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: And when he does his weekly press conference today on Tuesday,

1009
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: and he's asked about injuries this week for certain players,

1010
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn so upset figures that, well, don't ask me,

00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: all the answers.

1013
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,600

Speaker 2: No disrespect to you or Rich, but like we want

Speaker 1: From you, you know, like you guys have been here.

1025
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 6: You guys have been hearing from me. But now since

1026
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 6: we're just reporting stuff you know that I haven't said,

1027
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 6: and maybe you should ask you ask.

1028
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 3: Rich, just as Grich to medi he's got all, you

1029
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: got it all shouldn't get you job.

1030
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: And Woody Johnson fired this man just insider. You know,

1031
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. Okay, so here's Eric.

1032
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: That's the heat you're that mad about that.

1033
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: He was someone who the job was too much for him,

1034
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: And I said, at the beginning of the year, when

1035
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: you're not going for it, when you're not when you're

1036
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: not throwing a Hail Mary and deciding to go to halftime,

1037
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: you do it a couple of times and some of

1038
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: your decision making. I know the job is too much

1039
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: for you, But like some other coaches, they grow into

1040
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: the job. And I knew I had no choice because

1041
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: he has the backing of Woody Johnson and Darren Moogie. Right,

1042
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: he's the They're gonna allow him to make whatever personelmos

1043
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: they wanted. They didn't make any of these trades of

1044
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener and Quentin Williams without getting his blessing because

1045
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: right or wrong, and a lot of it's wrong. He

1046
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: he's got carte blanche right now because he's the head

1047
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: coach that Woody Johnson likes.

1048
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 3: So I can.

1049
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: Dislike it, but I have I gotta get used to

1050
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: it because apparently he's here now. The last couple of

1051
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: weeks I thought he's turning the corner a little bit.

1052
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: Some of his game management's been a little bit better.

1053
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: Some things he's done, some of the play calling that

1054
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: they have has been a little bit better. You know,

1055
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: they won a couple of games in a row and

1056
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: then you get this here, which is just such elementary knucklehead.

1057
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 3: First year coach. I don't know. We have leaks in

1058
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 3: the building and reporters know things. Dude, is this your

1059
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: day one? Are you, Frankie?

1060
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: First year in the NFL? This is the first time

1061
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: you hear and you've got a report that a reporter

1062
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: has out there. I mean, this shouldn't surprise you. This

1063
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't be something that you want to you want to

1064
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 1: go to war on and stand on this hill on. Yeah,

1065
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: once in a while you're gonna get things that are

1066
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna get said that are broken that you don't want broken.

1067
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: This is injury information that's out there. Sometimes it gets

1068
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: out there, that's how it goes. I'm sure it happened

1069
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: with the Lions. I'm sure you've seen it when you

1070
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: played for the Jets. I'm sure you've seen it all

1071
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: your coaching stops throughout your life. But now, oh, I'm

1072
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna be mad and I'm gonna make it combative with

1073
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: the media. Just ask Rich Rich has Rich Samani's been

1074
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: there for forty years. He has outlasted every Jets head

1075
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: coach and will outlast you. That's Rich Samani. This is

1076
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: how this is how it goes. And I see this

1077
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: and I go, dude, you know this is how it

1078
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: goes in the NFL.

1079
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 3: You want to be mad about it, I get it.

1080
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: But to be petulant and to act like a like

1081
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: a kid like Aaron Glenn. Come on, man, just when

1082
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: you start getting a couple of weeks under your belt

1083
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: where I think, okay, maybe it's not completely out of

1084
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: his depth though out Let's go back here and let's

1085
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: watch him have a fit because Rich Semini had an

1086
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: injury ISSU. You know, sometimes sometimes agents say things, sometimes

1087
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: players say things. I get you want to control the message.

1088
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: Guess what you're not gonna be able to. This is

1089
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: not the Patriots of the early two thousands, where there's

1090
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: one voice and it's Bill Belichick and that's all you got.

1091
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: That's not this case. I know you're trying to be

1092
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: the guy in charge of the entire operation. That's not

1093
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Man, You gotta I see this, and I'd say,

1094
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: you gotta just understand what it means to be a

1095
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: head coach and pick your battles. This is why you

1096
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: see I see guys like Ben Johnson succeeding because like, okay,

1097
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: he's learned his lessons the first two three weeks, like

1098
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: I've seen it, that's been He's been terrific. He has

1099
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: learned this is what I can do, this is what

1100
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 1: I can't do. In the last six eight weeks has

1101
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: been a huge adjustment for him, and this is why

1102
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: the Bears are good. Like you gotta be able to understand,

1103
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: pick your battles. Don't go crazy over.

1104
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 3: Stuff like this all the time. Yeah, I mean this one.

1105
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 3: You want to address the team, You want to address

1106
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 3: different personnel and try to talk to them about Hey,

1107
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 3: anything where we can maybe gain a little bit of

1108
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 3: an advantage by not letting all of our our injury

1109
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 3: issues out into public. All the better. But the reality

1110
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 3: is rich to medi was there, you know what, he

1111
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 3: started five years before Aaron Glenn he gan his fifteen

1112
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 3: year career as a player. Okay, he was there to

1113
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 3: welcome you in when you are fresh faced rookie for

1114
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 3: the Jets all those years ago in nineteen ninety four,

1115
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 3: already was going into his sixth year with the team

1116
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 3: and covering the team at that point. So Rich and

1117
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 3: maybe he's got beef with Rich going all the way

1118
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 3: back to his playing days. I don't know, but we

1119
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 3: talked with Jay Guizer all the time about it being

1120
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 3: how big a relationship business it is. Everything is right,

1121
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 3: no matter what you do for a living, whatever you're

1122
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 3: doing out there making your ways on the highways and byways,

1123
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 3: we appreciate you being part of the family. But you

1124
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: recognize it.

1125
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: Right, you know, the kill him with kindness, you know,

1126
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: a lesson that we sometimes forget. But in this business,

1127
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: if you've got someone inside the building, and let's face it,

1128
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: a lot of the players do it.

1129
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 3: Themselves, going to social media or telling a jackass buddy

1130
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: as they walk out. Guess what, there's a reporter standing there.

1131
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 3: Because you know.

1132
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: Who's learned that lesson is Mike Tomlin, right, Mike Tomlin

1133
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: used to hate the fact that stuff would get Leake

1134
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger telling the post case at Ned Bouchette like he

1135
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: would hate that good old But after a while he

1136
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: is tamped it down because he gets Okay, I'm not

1137
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: gonna win this war. Once in a while I have

1138
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: a snarky comment about the median injuries, but he gets it.

1139
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: This is not a battle that should that I should

1140
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: be fighting.

1141
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 3: This is not.

1142
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: So this is where you can know that I'm displeased

1143
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: about it, but this is just how it goes in

1144
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. And Aaron Glenn, who is fighting so much

1145
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: of a war, I'm like, dude, you gotta understand that

1146
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: this is not. If this is your first day in

1147
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: the NFL, I get it, but it's not. And I

1148
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: just look at this and I go, oh, man, I

1149
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 1: really thought we were getting somewhere.

1150
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 3: I really thought we had progress, and now we don't

1151
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 3: have progress. No, but make your statement about Rich But

1152
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: then you've got all these other working media that are

1153
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 3: asking you for your quote, for your information whatever. Being

1154
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 3: a petty child doesn't help your cause because guess what

1155
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 3: the next sixth game losing streak is right around the corner.
