00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,880

00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: House study this morning. This is be a great show.

25
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: We got great guess folks, I'm fired up.

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: I know people say this is a slow week, now,

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: you know, I'm like, God, there's a ton of stuff.

28
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: You know, let's dive right in.

29
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: We are going to get to Giannis and these crazy

30
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: comments that he made. We'll get to those, but I

31
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: need to start with this Lebron James situation.

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys had heard, but.

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: Over the last week, probably the biggest story in the

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: NBA is what's gonna happen with Lebron after the Lakers

35
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: losing the playoffs because nobody outside of me think that

36
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: they're a legitimate contender in the West. And you know, basically, Lebron,

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: everybody's nailed it down to Okay, he's got three options,

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: so he can stay with the Lakers cheaper than that

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: max deal that he's making.

40
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: Now. He ain't sniffing fifty mil we know that.

41
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: Or you know, maybe he goes to Cleveland on the

42
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: cheap and a bunch of folks in Cleveland have already

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: broke it down, and hey, you know what Lebron minimum

44
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: deal Cleveland, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell.

45
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: Maybe he talks himself into that, and then there's.

46
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: Door number three, which is just he could straight up retire,

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: right Bron just walk away, which does kind of seem

48
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: random for Lebron, I can't see that. You know, the

49
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: all time greats, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant,

50
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 4: they got farewell tours. How could Lebron, a guy who's

51
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 4: played longer than all those dudes, how could he not

52
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 4: get a farewell tour?

53
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: And so at the All.

54
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: Star break they asked Lebron, Hey, so, Lebron, you know

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: you got an uncertain future. Really, this is the first

56
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: time in your career that that's been the case. What

57
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: what does the future hold? Have you given any thought?

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: Are you going to retire? And listen closely and look

59
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 4: at the body language of what Lebron James said.

60
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 6: Here, I want to live when I know you guys know,

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 6: I don't know. I have my idea, just want to

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 6: just want to live us all. And how is your

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 6: personal uncertainty for the summer and beyond for your career

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 6: play as a factor in your urgency?

65
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 7: Here?

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 6: N this we gain is we gearing up to this

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 6: towards the postseason? So has nothing to do with that

68
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 6: same same motivation, same e fact they're just you know,

69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 6: this is we've got past the marathon and now just

70
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 6: the sprint is about to start.

71
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Hmmm.

72
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: Spoken like a true poker player, very good poker faith

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: there from Lebron, almost like he's playing chess. You know,

74
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: my son plays competitive chess now, and you know the

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: players he's facing, they're locked in, right, they're not showing

76
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: no tells and they're reading the board five, ten, fifteen

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: plays in advance.

78
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: Chess is so great, great game.

79
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: And you know, historically Lebron's always been a few steps ahead.

80
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: You know, for the longest time in the NBA free

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: agency was hey, are you gonna stay?

82
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: Are you gonna go?

83
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: And I'll never forget back in the day Grant Hill

84
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: and Tim Duncan, they were two big name free agents,

85
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: and they took a tour and they met with other teams.

86
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: Ultimately thing and that they're not leaving. Interestingly, Lebron said,

87
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm not doing any of that. I'm going to host

88
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: a special, a TV special to announce that I'm leaving

89
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: in Cleveland for Miami. And oh, by the way, I'm

90
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: bringing Chris Bosh. Totally flipped free agency on its head

91
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: a seminal moment in the NBA.

92
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: No player had ever done that. Okay. So then time runs.

93
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: Out in Miami and he says, you know what, I'm

94
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: gonna go back to Cleveland, okay, and oh, by the way,

95
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring Kevin Love. He Lebron flipped everything because

96
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: he knew what was coming. He was ahead of the

97
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: curve and he didn't stop there. He said, I'm now

98
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 4: going to go to the Lakers, move my family to

99
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: LA and he could see, he could read the tea leaves.

100
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: He knew Anthony Davis was coming. He had Anthony Davis

101
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: in his back pocket. A year later, Ad comes and

102
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: the Lakers wins another title. Lebron just wins wherever he goes.

103
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: So what could he have in store for us this summer?

104
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: And the theory is starting to make headwaves on the internet.

105
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 4: It seems like perhaps Lebron's idea of playing at age

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 4: forty one forty two is maybe he does take a

107
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: lot less money from the NBA. But on the side,

108
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: is there a world where Lebron says, you know what,

109
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: I saw that last dance from Michael Jordan. What twenty

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: years after he retired twenty five, what if I had

111
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 4: a camera crew following me around from a peacock, Amazon, Prime, Apple,

112
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: one of these streaming services, and I signed a developmental

113
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: deal where they pay me, I don't know, fifty million

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: over five years to produce some fun stuff for a

115
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: streaming service. And oh, by the way, my farewell tour

116
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: and we air that after we win the title. Now,

117
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: remember I mentioned Jabbar had a farewell tour. I think

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: they lost in the second round of the playoffs. Michael

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: Jordan with the Wizards farewell to you guys. Remember that

120
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: didn't make the playoffs. Kobe Bryant's obviously was very famous

121
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: deer basketball and that ended. You know, obviously he had

122
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: an amazing final game, but they didn't make the playoffs.

123
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: Why would Lebron do all this?

124
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: Well, what if he takes a lot less money and

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: the Lakers can now trade for Yannis and we're gonna

126
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: get to Janis shortly because he's saying some stuff that's

127
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: starting to sound like he's out. And if the Lakers

128
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: can get Luca Jannis and Lebron James and there is

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: a world where they keep Austin Reeves in this scenario,

130
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: you're telling me that isn't the ultimate farewell tour where

131
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: Lebron gets a super team because of his generous sacrifice

132
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: taking less. So the Lakers can now bring in Giannis

133
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: to join forces with Luca. You've got the best team

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: in the league. You've got a super team. He goes

135
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: out with a super team and a title. Come on, folks,

136
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: that's the stuff dreams are made of. That right, there

137
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: is a streaming show everybody is watching. Now. I want

138
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: to pivot to the NFL and kind of a troubling

139
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: situation on the home front. So we know this draft

140
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: is really only a one quarterback draft. We've had Daniel

141
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: Jeremiah on lanzer Lyne on universally, Fernando Mendoza is the guy,

142
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: and maybe Ty Simpson is a second round pick and

143
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: works out, maybe Nussmeyer, maybe Club Nick. You hear a

144
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: lot of maybees, not a lot of love. So I

145
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 4: came into the morning meeting and I was like, guys,

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: I'm looking around at the league and I think I

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: got seven teams maybe eight, that don't have a quarterback.

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: And I'm not even including the Raiders because we're pegging

149
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: them to get Mendoza. So wait a minute, we got

150
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: seven teams without quarterbacks. There's maybe one free agent that

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: people are interested in, Malik Willis, who I'm not gonna

152
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: put an asterisk by him because all the stat guys

153
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: love what he did. Yeah, so I love what he

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: did with a great receiving core in Green Bay and

155
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: a great coach okay in Lafloor. Okay, Yeah, Willis look great.

156
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: In a small sample size, he looked terrific. I mean,

157
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: you know, guy fills in for a few games, Yeah,

158
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: you can look outstanding.

159
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: So what does that mean?

160
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: You're gonna give him thirty mili You give him the

161
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold special. You're gonna give him the Baker deal,

162
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: the Daniel Jones deal, off that body of work with Lafleur.

163
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: So now it gets a little scary. Let's move Willis

164
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: to the side.

165
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: You're telling me teams like the Jets who have no quarterback,

166
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins, who are to unload Toua. It's clear

167
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: that he's not in their plans and it's gonna be

168
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: quinn yours.

169
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: You tell me the Arizona Cardinals, who are.

170
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: Desperate to get off Kyler Marie though he's gonna trade

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: him or cut him. According to every reporter on the planet,

172
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: you told me that Cleveland Browns, who don't have a quarterback,

173
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: may decide between I don't know, Dylan Gabriel, Shaduur and

174
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson. I mean, folks, you look down the list.

175
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: We got a lot of teams with no quarterback next year.

176
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: That's just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, I

177
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: could talk to the Atlanta Falcons in there is it, Michael

178
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: Pennox is that Kirk Cousins. Folks were in a weird

179
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 4: place in the NFL. There are thirty two teams and

180
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: we don't have enough good quarterbacks. Look at this list

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: of free agent quarterbacks. Daniel Jones is coming off an Achilles.

182
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: Everybody thinks he's staying an Indy. I can't see anybody

183
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: making a move. Justin Fields has no market. Aaron Rodgers,

184
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: you want to wait for his latest darkness retreat to

185
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: end before you make a move on him. I'm sure

186
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: GMS cannot wait. Oh yeah, Aaron, take all the time

187
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: you need darkness retreat. You want to go surfingsk do

188
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: your thing. Bro, We'll catch up with you. And oh yeah,

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: the draft's coming up. Russell Wilson, I'm gonna remind you

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: that free agent. Quarterbacks are a huge risk that Denver

191
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: Broncos traded for Russell Wilson, then gave him like two

192
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: hundred and forty five million, had to pay another team

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: to take him.

194
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: Be a buyer.

195
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: Beware Kenny Pickett. I don't know what that guy's doing.

196
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: Jimmy Garoppolo, is he going to be a starter next year?

197
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: Really?

198
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: And then Mitchell Trubisky, Tyler Huntley, come on, what are

199
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: we doing? So folks, you look at these teams and

200
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: it's like, what are the Minnesota Vikings gonna do? They

201
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: got to bring in a quarterback because JJ McCarthy was

202
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: the GMS guy, and it's pretty clear Kevin O'Connell's lukewarm

203
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 4: on him. All these stories coming out of Minnesota. I mean,

204
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: you keep going down the list, folks. There are not

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: enough good quarterbacks in this league. And my big thing is, okay,

206
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,359
Speaker 4: free agency. So Sam Donald was a hit amazing. Hey,

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: if Seattle can find Sam Donald and win a Super

208
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: Bowl with him, why can't other Look at the Colts

209
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 4: went and it got Daniel Jones and they were at

210
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: one point seven to one. Well, let's take a quick

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: little twenty second time out here. Daniel Jones top ten pick.

212
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 4: He had some pedigree. I mean, guy was a top

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: ten pick. Sam Darnold was a top five pick.

214
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: He had a lot of pedigree.

215
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: The guys on that list that we just showed you,

216
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: uh huh. Kenny Pickett, he went twenty and was criminally overdrafted,

217
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: has shown you nothing. You tell me what any of

218
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: these guys have shown you to prove that maybe it's

219
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 4: worth taking a flyer on or do you want to

220
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: get stuck with the next Derek Carr? Do you remember

221
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: the Saints they gave up a lot of money to

222
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: Derek Carr. Woud that result in total train wreck and disaster? Okay,

223
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: Atlanta Falcons, we're all in on Kirk Cousins. Yeah, how

224
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: did that end up? I'm just telling you these free agents,

225
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 4: I know the saying is one man's trash is another

226
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: man's treasure.

227
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: Okay, and sure some of.

228
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: These guys will occasionally hit. But for every Sam Darnold

229
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 4: and Baker Mayfield to hit in Tampa and got a

230
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: playoff win, it's littered with Geno Smith's. Remember Pete Carroll

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: pounding the table last year for Gino Smith. Yeah, Pete

232
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: Carroll blown out, dusted, look at the Atlanta Falcons front

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: office and coaches who were all in on Kirk Cousins.

234
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 3: They're gone.

235
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: I mean, folks, it is a major roll of the dice.

236
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: And I know the NFL doesn't like the word tanking,

237
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 4: but if you look at the list of potential quarterbacks

238
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: for next year in the draft, and I know we

239
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: do this every year, Oh my gosh, quarterbacks are so good. Hey,

240
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: take a look at that Notre Dame quarterback. Go see

241
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: what they're saying about him. Okay, it's more than just

242
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 4: arch Manning. I do believe Jets, Dolphins, some of these

243
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: teams are going to be incentivized to not go out

244
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: and spend a lot of money in free agency now

245
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: so they can draft high next year and hopefully find

246
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: their franchise quarterback. So, Rachel, we got a monster show today, NFL, NBA,

247
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 4: A little Olympics.

248
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fired up.

249
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 4: Wait overall, like you, you've been to the Olympics before.

250
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: I've never been ninth Olympics.

251
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: I just went ninth. Yeah, man, would you give it

252
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: incredible mediocre? Like this is? This was a good one.

253
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: It is a good one, and it was.

254
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: The setup is unusual because it's the furthest spread out Olympics,

255
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: but it all worked and some of the competition we've

256
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: seen and some great stories. Women's curling team just made

257
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 5: it into the playoffs and curling HU. Yeah, I'm on

258

Speaker 5: the board at USA Curling. Jason fun fact about me.

259
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,240

00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: But you know, gold medal hockey game tonight for the

261
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 5: women's US Canada. I mean there's all kinds of great

262
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: stuff going on. I mean good controversy. I got all

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: kinds of Stuf'm.

264
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: Excited to talk about that.

265
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: But coming up next year, there's an NBA star who

266
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: opened his mouth over the weekend, said a lot, and

267
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, fans and maybe the front office

268
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: are panicking.

269
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,160

00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: talking about mister Darren Peterson of Kansas. Fun topic, we

Speaker 4: will talk to Miles Simon. Honestly one of Jim Nantz's

292

293
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: when Arizona won an awesome national championship. Miles Simon will

294

295
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: Sports college hoops analyst. You know, I love college basketball.

296
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: Rachel loves college basketball, so we'll talk about that. But first,

297
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: the NBA second half of the season starts tonight. Kudos

298
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: to the league for a good, good matchup on paper tonight,

299
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: and I have some hot takes on the second half

300
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: of the season going forward, so we've narrowed them down

301
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: to five. My five predictions for the NBA second half.

302
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 7: Here we go.

303
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: Number one, the Cleveland Cavaliers will get the number one

304
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: seed in the East. Now they are seven games back

305
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: at Detroit. I know you're gonna say, Mac, You're crazy,

306
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: that's insanity. It's all about the schedule, baby, and also

307
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: the fact that Donovan Mitchell now has James Harden. They

308
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: had no practices together and looked awesome. What's gonna happen

309
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: when they can actually work together with some time under

310
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: their belt.

311
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: This is a damn good team when you get Mobley, Allen.

312
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: Mitchell and Harden and the schedu is loaded with teams

313
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: that are tanking.

314
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: I know we don't like that word, but the Detroit

315
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: schedule is much more difficult. I think the Knicks kind of.

316
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: Start to maybe rest guys a little bit down the

317
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: stretch to be fresh for the playoffs. I have the

318
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: Cabs stealing the number one seed in the East. Number two,

319
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: the Oklahoma City Thunder will not get out of the

320
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 4: second round. Of the playoffs. I can hear the laughter

321
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: at America, folks. As a reminder, no defending NBA champ

322
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: has gotten past the second round of the playoffs in

323
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: six straight seasons. Some of that is just circumstance, some

324
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: is injuries, some of it is unlucky. But I think

325
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: there's something here. And what a great stat from our staff.

326
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: So okase started twenty four and one. Remember there was

327
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: all that nonsense about seventy four wins. They're eighteen and thirteen.

328
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: Since that's it. They're like slightly above league average. No, yes,

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: they've had a ton of injuries. But if you drill

330
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: down a little, Ja Dubb not playing great, Alex Caruso

331
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 4: might be their second best player right now, SGA, it'll

332
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: hurt folks.

333
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: The Thunder are not in a great place.

334
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: There is that lack of hunger that some teams have

335
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: the year after winning the title.

336
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: Just keep an eye.

337
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: I think they go down to Denver or the Spurs

338
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: third up. Sorry, Boston, I don't think the Celtics will

339
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: get out of the first round of the playoffs.

340
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 7: Now.

341
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: A large part of this is I don't know if

342
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum's coming back, but everybody and their mom thinks

343
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: he is. Here's the problem. The Celtics have gotten right

344
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: here in the last few weeks, largely against bad teams,

345
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: but also they move Peyton Pritchell to the bench, they

346
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: ship out Simons and Jalen Brown is clearly their number

347
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: one guy. He's playing at an all NBA first team level.

348
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 4: So now you're gonna thrust a star like Tatum in.

349
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be a learning curve. And I

350
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: don't know when he's gonna come back. Do you start

351
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: him off the bench? Is he on a minute's restriction?

352
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: Does that kind of mess with the.

353
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: Good vibes in Boston?

354
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: And I do believe that if they're the three and

355
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: they have to face a six, or they're the two

356
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: and they have to face.

357
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: Dangerous Charlotte folks.

358
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: I listen, I love me some Tatum, but I don't

359
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 4: know how this is going to work if he comes back.

360
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: I got Boston bounced in the first round. Number four,

361
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: I do not like this one at all.

362
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: You know, I love Cooper Flag. I'm predicting Khan k

363
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: Nipple is going to steal the Rookie of the Year

364
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: for two reasons.

365
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: Number One, I mean Charlotte.

366
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: They're playing out of their minds right now with Kanniple, Folks,

367
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: He's shooting forty three percent from three, best among rookies,

368
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: shooting forty eight percent from the field. He's averaging eighteen

369
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: and five shot creation, playmaking. He's a total package. Now,

370
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 4: you know, I'm a Cooper Flag guy. Love Cooper Flag.

371
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 4: Think he's the future of the league. I do wonder

372
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 4: if Dallas, which has lost nine straight, decides, hey, hey,

373
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: in the best interest of our franchise, we just announced

374
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving. We're not bringing it back. Remember there was

375
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: all that hope. We're not bringing Kyrie back. Do they say, Cooper,

376
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: let's power down. Let's say you played thirty five games

377
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: last year or whatever.

378
00:17:59,680 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: Duke.

379
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: Now we're at like fifty five and we don't want

380
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: to get any injuries, and they shut down Cooper Flag

381
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 4: in the effort to tank and get a high draft pick.

382
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: Can you imagine Cooper Flag alongside Dabansa or Boozer from Duke, Folks,

383
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 4: it's the smart move.

384
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to hear that, but.

385
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: That's why I look at conkinent Wile winning Rookie of

386
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: the Year and finally my NBA Finals prediction, Nicks from

387
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: the East and the Spurs in the West. Love me

388
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 4: someone Ben Yama. I liked that Rachel's all over web

389
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: Minyama be in.

390
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: The face of the league. I think this is the year.

391
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: For my next ye know, I'm in Nick Lakers fan,

392
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 4: which is not allowed, but I don't really care. That's

393
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: who I root for. I think Jalen Brunson and company

394
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 4: get it done. They show we don't need the honest,

395
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: which is good good news for the Lakers and the Spurs.

396
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: I just love this team. Stephan Castle is already one

397
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: of my like five favorite players in the league.

398
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a dude that confident.

399
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: You know.

400
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: I went to the Lakers Spurs a little while ago

401
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: and we had really good seats. And if you just

402
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: watch Castle walk around, dap people up in warm ups,

403
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 4: there's no nervous energy, there's no second year jitters. Castle

404
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 4: essentially looks like the truth. He looks like a guy

405
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 4: who's gonna be a big time star in this league.

406
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 4: He could guard anybody. Look at him. Shut down SGA

407
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: in their regular season meetings. They own the thunder already.

408
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 4: Love me some Castle, Spurs Nicks in the NBA Finals.

409
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's bring in our.

410
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: Guest, Miles Simon, Fox Sports College basketball analyst.

411
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: I got to meet Miles back in the day.

412
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 4: Obviously an amazing basketball player at Arizona. Tremendous run you

413
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: guys had, Miles, We're going to start to write in

414
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: the deep end. We're tossing you, dude. This Darren Peterson

415
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: stuff is everywhere. Miles, I'll take a deep breath.

416
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: He had an.

417
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: Amazing first half last night and then he cramped up

418
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 4: second half.

419
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: The numbers are staff put it together.

420
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: He's had a hamstring, an ankle, an illness, cramping, He's

421
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: missed fifteen of twenty six games. But he is a

422
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 4: really talented basketball player. What do you make of this?

423
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 9: There's a lot of concerns about Darren Peterson, obviously, and

424
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 9: NBA teams are going to have to do a very deep,

425
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 9: deep dive into one his injury history, his mental makeup,

426
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 9: because when you can't get through a college season, the

427
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 9: amount of money the NBA teams are about to invest

428
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 9: in this guy as a top three pick, possibly number

429
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 9: one pick, is very concerning. You have the anti flu game, Okay,

430
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 9: Jordan had the flu game where he showed up in

431
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 9: the finals and he puts up amazing numbers, and Darren

432
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 9: Peterson has the number one team in the country in

433
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 9: Arizona in his building, goes through warm ups and sits

434
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 9: out with the flu and doesn't even give it a shot.

435
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 9: That's super concerning for not only the Kansas Jayhawks this

436
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 9: year because that's what they're focused on, trying to win

437
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 9: a national championship, but for NBA teams going forward. Man,

438
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 9: you know that's going to be tough. It's knocking him

439
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 9: down in my opinion, from the number one spot.

440
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: Interesting. So, the Texas Tech game was in he hits

441
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 4: two threes. Here's one of them. I mean, unbelievable two

442
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: threes in the final ninety seconds. They come back and win.

443
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: Then he skips the Arizona game and they win without him, right,

444
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: And I don't know you.

445
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: You probably know Bill Self.

446
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure he recruited you back in the day at

447
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: some point, but like you know, you look around at

448
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: Bill self is even like answering questions after the game

449
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 4: last night, he was like, I don't.

450
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: Really know what happened. I mean, it was just very

451
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: I can't recall a story like this.

452
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bill Self, was baffled last night.

453
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 9: And I think you remember, like even a week ago,

454
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 9: he really defended the kid as he should. It's his player.

455
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 9: He probably he cares for him a lot. But last

456
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 9: night you saw the clip where Peterson pulls himself out

457
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 9: of the game and Bill self says, you know, I

458
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 9: thought we were good to go. I thought he was

459
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 9: good to go, and then all of a sudden, you know,

460
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 9: he I think he has twenty points or something in

461
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 9: the first half, and the talent just it's it's tantalizing,

462
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 9: and it's teasing because he's so good and you just

463
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 9: want to see him perform, you know, thirty to thirty

464
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 9: five minutes a night. And this Kansas team like they're

465
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 9: on the brink. They win that game, like you said,

466
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 9: against Arizona, number one team in the country, without him,

467
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 9: and they just want to see the complete package. If

468
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 9: you're a Kansas fan, if you're Bill self, and if

469
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 9: you're his teammates, but many the guy is not not

470
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 9: coming on the court quite enough, and you got to

471
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 9: be on the court to win the national title.

472
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 4: So the only corollary I could find, and it's not

473
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 4: an apples to apples, is do you remember Jalen Johnson

474
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: at Duke. I think it was the second year of COVID,

475
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 4: so he was another I'm going to three or four

476
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: high schools, which is fine, that's like the new thing

477
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: for all these elite, top guys. And then he kind

478
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 4: of quit on coach k remember in I think it

479
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: was February. He just basically was like, I'm done, We're

480
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: not going anywhere. I'm quitting and he got blasted by

481
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 4: the media, but you could see the talent was there.

482
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: So he fell a little bit in the draft, the

483
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Hawks get a steal.

484
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: Here we are like what four years later, Jalen Johnson

485
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: is like one of the maybe an All NBA player.

486
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 8: He's an All Star.

487
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: So I mean, I know you said you're backing off

488
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 4: a little, but seeing a guy like Jalen Johnson does

489
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 4: that maybe make you think, like, hey, it's the talent.

490
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 9: Well, he's not dropping past like three in the draft,

491
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 9: like to me. To me, there's a clear top three.

492
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 9: He's not going like twenty like Jalen Johnson because he's through.

493
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 9: It's gonna be Devansa and then Boozer and then him

494
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 9: because then you're talking about Caleb Wilson and Kingston Plembings,

495
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 9: those guys, Keaton Woggler, those are like, you know, four

496
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 9: or five six at some point. Still, the talent is

497
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 9: going to override because he's better than He's better than

498
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 9: those guys, So he's not He's not going past three

499
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 9: in the draft. But man, is it scary for those

500
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 9: NBA teams, you know, once they do all their homework,

501
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 9: because the guy can't get through a college season, his

502
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 9: first college season healthy.

503
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 4: Let me ask you about Michigan. One of the best

504
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 4: teams in the country, if not the best. I may

505
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: have a couple bucks on them to win the title.

506
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 4: They have a great game against Duke.

507
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 3: This is it.

508
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the Remember the Fab five back

509
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 4: in the day, Yes you do. They had a couple

510
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: of games against Duke in the regular season. Those were like,

511
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: Holy who are these guys? I don't know if this

512
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 4: game will have that cachet, but Michigan Duke.

513
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: You mentioned Boozer. I kind of like Michigan in this game.

514
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 3: It's Saturday. Is a great day for college basketball.

515
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, Saturday is a great day, and that is going

516
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 9: to be an unbelievable matchup. And Cameron Boozer's he's the

517
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 9: clubhouse leader for National Player of the Year right now.

518
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 9: Like he's been a steady hand for this Duke team,

519
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 9: has kept him in the top five all season long.

520
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 9: He's one of the most versatile players in the country.

521
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 9: And you know, he doesn't have the flash of Peterson

522
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 9: and the Banza or even like a Kingston Flemings, but man,

523
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 9: he can post up. He's a he actually is a

524
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 9: very underrated passer. Okay, he can shoot the three. He

525
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 9: can shoot the three. He's a good athlete and he's

526
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 9: an excellent defender. He's like everything that you want, and

527
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 9: you know what you're going to get from him, night

528
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 9: in and night out. He's going to show up thirty

529
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 9: to thirty five minutes. He's going to give you the

530
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 9: twenty two points, nearly a double double, all all those things.

531
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 9: But he's gonna have a heck of a matchup on

532
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 9: the other side. Yaxell Lindeborg is going to be a

533
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 9: first or second team All American. He's probably gonna be

534
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 9: a first round draft pick. And if you don't know

535
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 9: Yaxell Lindenborg, get to know that name. I got to

536
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 9: spend some time around that guy this summer at the

537
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 9: Nike Basketball Academy where like a lot of the top

538
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 9: players in the country, Braiden Burry's, Braden Smith, Thomas Howe

539
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 9: from Florida, they were all there, and Jaxvill Lindenborg man,

540
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 9: he's a special type player. And if you watch the

541
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 9: way Dusty Dusty May uses him all around the floor.

542
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 9: He gets to handle the ball. He's six', nine he,

543
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 9: shoots he shoots. Threes he's a switchable that he's a switchable.

544
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 9: Defender i'm really looking forward to, that to that matchup right,

545
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 9: there of those two guys getting some head to head

546
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,360

00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: Three that's a humongous.

555
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: Gap that is kind of a new thing in college,

556
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,720

Speaker 9: Points and this, freshman here's a guy that's from the

594
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 9: state Of, kansas, right and he doesn't end up At

00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520

Speaker 9: to back state, Champion, okay a back to back state

597
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,560

598
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 9: kansas and ends up In. Illinois but the THINGS i

599
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 9: love About illinois they they went on a run here

600
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 9: over the last few weeks without one of their best.

601
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 9: Players boswell was out with the with the injured. Hand

602
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 9: he just came back within the last couple of. Games

603
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 9: they blew out usc last night With boswell he's been

604
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 9: back in the lineup the last couple of. Games But

605
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 9: illinois is a big, team like basically when they Start

606
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 9: woggler at the, point they Have, stojakovic the.

607
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 8: Vs bro The vsitch, brothers both at seven.

608
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 9: Feet one plays inside and block, shots the other one shoots.

609
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 9: Threes Brad underwood ones like a spread ball screen type of.

610
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 9: Offense like they're really really fun to. Watch and then their,

611
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 9: size it's hard to it's hard to score over. Them

612
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 9: SO i think those two. Teams nebraska has taken a

613
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 9: little bit of a dip as of, late so they

614
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 9: struggled a little. Bit purdue obviously got beat at home

615
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 9: By michigan this. WEEKEND i think there maybe a. SECOND

616
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 9: i think they're probably like a second weekend, team and

617
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 9: that's mostly Because Braden smith is so good and he

618
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 9: can lead you to winning like a couple of. GAMES

619
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 9: i don't know that they're deep enough or can score

620
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,040

Speaker 7: Us outside Of week.

784
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 10: One of last year against The Pittsburgh, steelers there's nothing

785
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 10: to be proud. Of Right, like when we saw The

786
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 10: jets go against The steelers and the way they, Played i'm, like, oh,

00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 10: man if this is what he's talking, about sign us.

788
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 7: Up none of that fell into fruition.

789
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 10: After that, game solely because of the quarterback play was so.

790
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 10: Poor if you're The jets right, NOW i understand you

791
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 10: don't want to go out there and take a long.

792
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 10: SHOT i MAYBE i don't Know Malik willis Or, mariota

793
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 10: but at the end of the, day you can't survive

794
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 10: the way you survived last. YEAR i, mean this team

795
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 10: finished with three and fourteen and it was just. Bad

796
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 10: this team was done Before, halloween so they got to

797
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 10: figure that.

798
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 7: OUT i also, think you.

799
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 10: Know you have two you have this second pick and you

800
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 10: have the sixteenth. Pick you have to dive into the.

801
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 10: Defense go get you an edge, rusher maybe get some

802
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 10: help in the, secondary use those picks, defensively and, overall,

803
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 10: man you just got to get back to being a

804
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 10: competent football.

805
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 7: Team they're not. Competent it something to whole all over this.

806
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 10: Team it's gonna be it's gonna take a long road

807
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 10: to kind of fill those.

808
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 7: Voice but, nevertheless starts.

809
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 10: With the, quarterback to find some help defensively in the,

810
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 10: draft and hopefully this thing can turn around for, YOU J.

811
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: Mack and look at. That look at that stat on the.

812
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 4: Screen games with zero offensive touchdowns since twenty, fifteen The

813
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 4: jets by a mile are number.

814
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 3: One and then at the bottom of the.

815
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: Screen Woody johnson interferes With jets defensive coordinator.

816
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: PLANS i, mean they're a dumpster. Fire it.

817
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 4: Stinks you, know here's my only problem with going After

818
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 4: Malik willis or whoever you're Not you're gonna be too

819
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: good to get like a top three Pick, willie AND

820
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: i believe they need to JUST i know you don't

821
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 4: want to hear, this And Aaron glenn certainly. Doesn't but

822
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: the only way to get that great quarterback or get you,

823
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: Know Arch banding or. C.

824
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 3: J carror, whoever is to be. TERRIBLE i, mean look

825
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 3: at The. Raiders they essentially. Down, huh like they've been.

826
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 7: TERRIBLE i love you want to be.

827
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 10: Terrible the REASON i like The Milik willis pick up

828
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 10: is because you Have Frank, wright who's A oc who

829
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 10: has the ability to develop young.

830
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 7: Quarterbacks you have a good office. Line you're gonna have

831
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 7: to Chain Breese hall to the.

832
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 10: Building that seems like he wants, out but he's your

833
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 10: best offensive weapon outside Of Garrett.

834
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 7: Wilson you also have an office.

835
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 10: Line once, again who can protect a young guy like?

836
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 10: That so for, me it just makes sense that you

837
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 10: have somebody who's a plug and play quarterback that can

838
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 10: at least give you some hope On, sunday right like

839
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 10: The jets have no. Hope we were sold That Justin

840
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 10: fields was going to be the guy like he had

841
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 10: changed everything, around you, know LIKE i, Know.

842
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 7: Justin fields is a. Rap let's pack him, up.

843
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 10: Right and so if you're The, jets you need an

844
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 10: adult at the.

845
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 7: Position if they.

846
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 10: Can get that in the offseason or at least by

847
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 10: time until the next year's draft where the quarterback draft's

848
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 10: supposed to be, better hopefully there's hope.

849
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 7: There but right now you need.

850
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 10: Something you can't go into the season and looking at

851
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 10: having this offense look like what they looked like.

852
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: Last year and last one on The.

853
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 4: Jets can you even envision a scenario where the owner

854
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 4: is meddling with the defensive game, plan which is what's

855
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 4: being alledged right Now Aaron glenn to hire a certain

856
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 4: guy and then he was told them the owner has

857
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: a defensive game plan that doesn't align with what you.

858
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 3: WANT i, mean it's. Rough.

859
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 10: Man, WELL i don't know if all that's. TRUE i honestly,

860
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 10: THOUGH i think it. Comes this is WHAT i. BELIEVE

861
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 10: i Believe Aaron glenn was hired to be a defensive

862
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 10: massive mind on top of a head.

863
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 7: Coach, right AND i think.

864
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 10: The job he did In detroit was so significant That

865
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 10: Woody johnson's, like, hey, Man i'm paying you twelve million, dollars.

866
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 7: Right you lead our? Defense, right you figure it?

867
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 10: Out why would you bring like a guy Like Link

868
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 10: martindale somebody else in the building to do what Ultimately

869
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 10: i'm hiring you to. Do so my, mindset If I'm,

903
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 10: with my.

904
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 7: Words you, Know Ben roethlisberger's like a brother to. Me he's.

905
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 7: Family Joey porter is.

906
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 10: Somebody WHEN i was drafted in two thousand and six

907
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 10: to The Pittsburgh, steelers he.

908
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 7: Was the alpha male in the locker.

909
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 10: Room he was the lead DOG i used to seek

910
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 10: VALID i wanted to seek validation through him because he

911
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 10: was the guy that say that's a stealer and that's

912
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 10: not a. Stealer James harrison is like my brother as,

913
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 10: well SO i have close ties to all these.

914
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 7: Individuals that's a part of this.

915
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 10: Story, NEVERTHELESS i think it's important to Give Ben roethlisberger,

916
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 10: grace right BECAUSE i think when he retired and he

917
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 10: stepped away from the, GAME i think he's openly, Admitted hey,

918
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 10: MAN i could have handled situations.

919
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 7: BETTER i could have been better with.

920
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 10: Teammates now that he's in his forties and a father of,

921
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 10: two he understands.

922
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 7: His wrong and, rights AND i think all.

923
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 10: That needs to be handled a conversation that is behind closed.

924
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 10: Doors because thing about, this J. Mac three guys went

925

00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,160

933
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,160

Speaker 4: Public, YEAH i don't know If Big ben started, it

941
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 4: But i'll Ask, willie do you think there's a racial

942
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: element to This Big Ben Tomlin?

943
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 7: Porter, No, no that's. NONSENSE i.

944
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 10: KNOW i don't even know what that component would be.

945
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 7: Like you would have to help. ME i don't EVEN i.

946
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 4: Would ben seems to be taking a lot of shots

947
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 4: At tomlin on his way out the, door And i'm

948
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 4: just like Why tomlin was beloved and Then Big. BEN

949
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 4: i don't want to say he started, it you know,

950
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 4: whatever but he seemed to go After tomlin a little

951
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 4: bit down the. Stretch we need to voice in the

952
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 4: locker room and unable to win postseason. Games it just felt.

953
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 3: Weird. Tomlin, again nobody goes After.

954
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 10: TOMLIN i, mean the Reason i'm confused about the racial

955
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 10: component because there's another person who's An African american who's

956
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 10: been very vocal About Mike, tomlin and That's James, harrison,

957
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 10: Right and so that's Why i'm confuse with the.

958
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 7: Statement, nevertheless, man it's.

959
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 10: Okay to have gripes about how you felt about the

960
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 10: Great Mike, tomlan whether you think he was great or

961
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 10: you thought he simply was handed the keys to a

962
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 10: porch and he was told not to crash.

963
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 8: It.

964
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 7: Whatever the man's a winner very.

965
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 10: Much HOW i Perceived Ben, roethlisberger he's a runner very

966
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,359

970
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,880

00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 4: Different i'm a huge. FAN i like EVERYTHING i hear

1026
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: and read about. Him his story is, Amazing but it

1027
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 4: does seem like there are some doubters based on some

1028
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 4: reports out, there specifically In. Vegas based on what you've

1029
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: read and what you know About, mendoza what are your

1030
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 4: thoughts on him coming into the.

1031
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 10: League you, KNOW i think it's tough for any quarterback

1032
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 10: of his.

1033
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 7: Caliber step And flippo.

1034
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,959
Speaker 10: Organization to the right side, thing meaning like they don't

1035
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 10: have an office. Line they have the thirty first ran

1036
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 10: office line of. Football they don't have a defensive, line

1037
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 10: they don't have a receiving. Court they Send Jacobe myers To.

1038
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 10: Jacksonville now it valid they have Brock bauers and, gent

1039
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 10: but there's a lot needed there In Las. Vegas you're

1040
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 10: asking a young man to come in there and do

1041
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 10: what with what? Right i've covered The New York. JETS

1042
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 10: i know what this story looks like and we're still. There,

1043
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 10: like rebuilds take a long, time and it takes a

1044
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 10: team to come. Together and if You're Clint kubiak and

1045
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 10: you're joining the system and you just came from winning

1046
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 10: A Super bowl seeing one of the most complete teams

1047
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 10: in football win, one you know what a winning outfit looks.

1048
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 10: Like and if you feel like a young quarterback is

1049
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 10: going to give you that edge or set you in

1050
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 10: the right, trajectory it's okay, saying, hey let's trade out

1051
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 10: of this number one, pick let's build our team, up

1052
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 10: and then next year where the quarterback draft it is

1053
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 10: supposed to be more excuse me, better if you. Will

1054
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 10: and in some, regards let's take a shot. There on

1055
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 10: this other, mindset you put a lot you can burn

1056
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 10: out on your own quarterback early if you put a

1057
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 10: lot on his shoulders waiting for the rest of the

1058
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 10: team to kind of catch. UP i feel like you

1059
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 10: build a team, up plug him in, there and, boom

1060
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 10: you're off and.

1061
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 7: RUNNING i think he's a competent. QUARTERBACK i don't think

1062
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 7: he's very.

1063
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 10: ATHLETIC i think he struggles off. Script but when you

1064
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 10: have the receivers he, had the office line he, had

1065
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 10: and he was coach really, well LIKE i think his

1066
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 10: quarterback coach Was Chris whitmeyer that was once with The, bucks,

1067
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 10: right so kind of developed. HIM i think HE'S i

1068
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 10: think he's the best this draft has to.

1069
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 7: Offer there's still a lot to see in my.

1070
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 4: Regards all, RIGHT, willi we could wrap up with This

1071
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 4: Kenneth walker. Situation So Jack Zach shermane goes, Down Kenneth,

1072

1076
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 4: right and then you look and start reading and they're

1077
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:17,839

1078
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,120

1086
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,160

1087
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 10: Nfc Championship. GAME i thought he set the tone for The. Seahawks,

1088
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 10: ultimately Will will kind of stabilize that. Offense Allowed Sam

00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 10: ship him down the. Road if there was one guy

1095
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 10: that would keep Is Rashid. Shahied he's THE x factor
