Speaker 1: the report card grades for every team.

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 3: In the league.

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: Remember two weeks ago when the NFL said, hey, we're

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna make sure that doesn't get out.

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: We got that.

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and what did we tell you at

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, it's still gonna get out. Don't worry.

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: We're still gonna find out the grades. We're still gonna

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: find out what everybody is getting and how bad teams

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: are is when it comes to how bad their cafeteria is,

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: or how bad the locker room is, or how bad

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: childcare is, whatever it is, we're still gonna find out.

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, we're not the NFL one.

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how many things did we have in the

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: movies Jason all those years ago? It's like, what'd you

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: find out? It's not good? Does anybody else know?

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: All right?

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 5: Bury that No, a lot of people know, yeah.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: And the thing is not It's not like it just

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: came out today and one rogue individual to give you

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: best Day role. One rogue individual sent it out for

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: everybody saying I'm standing up and taking the I'm gonna

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: take the bullets for everybody. You want to blame me, No,

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: we got it from a lot of different sources. So

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this was somehow. This was leaked in

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: a lot of places, man, not just one spot on

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: the internet where people found out. Oh no, no, this

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: is leaked everywhere, and we got the grades of all

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,279
Speaker 1: the teams, Dolphins on the top, Steelers on the bottom.

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: But now it's time to get to what we saw

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: in the middle. And we didn't get a lot of

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: details on why certain aspects were rated the way they are.

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: But we now know exactly where certain things are and

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the biggest things, like three of the biggest.

52
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: Things we'll get to in the next few minutes.

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: The worst coach in the NFL, and this is this

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: is bad because this is a guy that's won Coach

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: of the Year before and he got a big, high

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: profile gig, and I've talked about how much I like

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: him for his new job.

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: Right there in Atlanta, Kevin.

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Stefanski crated out the lowest of the NFL head coaches

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: this year, the lowest of all the NFL head coaches.

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: And I'm saying to myself, oh my goodness, man, oh

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: my goodness. He Aaron Glenn grated out higher than Kevin Stefanski.

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: Come on, man, it is now a curiosity though, right

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: you want to get past the noise we talked about

65
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: in Djoko saying I'm out questioning whether the newly engaged

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: Miles Garrett eventually raises his hand and said, yeah, I'm

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: good with this.

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: You got the Schwartz issue.

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 4: That was going on, right, the heir apparent who wasn't

70
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: and now is like I want to leave.

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: So we go through it and to see that great,

72
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, what else? Right?

73
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: Questions of the handling of shadhor Sanders and the quarterback position.

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: A lot of noise on the outside. I evidently it

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: was pretty noisy inside too.

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's really tough for me to see

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: this now. And here's the thing, it's tough for me

79
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: to see this and go okay. As far as coaches goes,

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: there's a big how do I say, there's a big

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: correlation between coaches getting high grades and winning because you

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: look at the top and you go, okay, Sean McVay

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: got an A plus. Right, highest graded coach was Sean McVay.

84
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: I get it.

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVay is the best head coach in the NFL.

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I understand it, being he's able to stay on top

87
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: of everything. And it really is stunning how year after

88
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: year the Rams can be a super Bowl team.

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: Dan Quinn is second.

90
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Commanders didn't have a great year, but

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: the Commander's organization did great things and it's awesome to

92
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: see that, right, Austin Josh Harris get to the top.

93
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: One for a long time. Boy.

94
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: The Commanders were a terrible team, terrible organization, but they

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: didn't win. So you're like, okay, I kind of see it.

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Then you look at some of the guys who got a's.

97
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson got an A. Got it right, Kevin O'Connell

98
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: got an A. Okay, you know, biffed the quarterback decision,

99
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: but okay, Mike McDonald got an A.

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Aaron Glenn got in A. Wait, wait, wait what

101
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn got in it? Wait? Whoa?

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn got an A. Wait, Aaron Glenn got an A.

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: A guy that the head coaching job is too much

104
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: for him. He got an A across the league. So

105
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I see stuff like like that, like Stefanski two time

106
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Coach the Year to C minus and Aaron Glenn getting

107
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: an A.

108
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: And I go.

109
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: As far as it comes to the opinions of coaches,

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: like we we really getting a great representation of what

111
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: they're like. Like the other stuff I get like cause

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: it's it's very black and white when it comes to

113
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: situations like how a team's playing field, or how they

114
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: deal with childcare, or the locker room like that's a hey,

115
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: the locker room stinks or it doesn't right, the amenities

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: are good or it's not. You know, the coaches is

117
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: more okay, this is more a creative effort and creative coaching.

118
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: And some of the grades. I kind of sit back

119
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: and go, huh, Jim Harbaugh got a C plus. Really

120
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: what the players say about him and what he said,

121
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: he gets a C plus.

122
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: Really, Jim Harbour gets a SEA plus.

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they said the nice things and then they,

124
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: uh privately complain about how hard he works them in expectations,

125
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 4: whereas Aaron Glenn just have a blank slate.

126
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 5: Did he did he show up today? Good?

127
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: I don't know.

128
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: I was asleep.

129
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: So wait, so Aaron, stop what you know? I'm gonna

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: hit you say that again about Aaron Glenn. He was

131
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: just looking down. He's looking down and he looks up.

132
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: He was not sleeping at least That's how I'm gonna

133
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: say it. Uh, you know, maybe Aaron Aaron Glenn, I

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of feel like when they give him an A

135
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: I feel like he's the gym teacher that just gives

136
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: everybody an A and marks everybody prepared, regardless as to

137
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: whether or not they show up with their shorts on

138
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: they participate in Jim class. I'm gonna mark you with

139
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: the prepared and you're get to get an A. I

140
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: love coach Glenn. Coach Glenn is great. He is just

141
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: showing up giving us an A. For as long as

142
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: we have our shorts with us, I don't even need

143
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: to change.

144
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: I can just not show up. He's gonna give us

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: an A.

146
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 4: It might it might very well be a hey, tough

147
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: but fairer kind of guy, like we don't know what

148
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 4: goes in, you know, and where the comments section is right,

149
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 4: it's he's like the you know, suggestions along the way.

150
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: You can grade me terribly. I need to know what

151
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: part of the the problem, Uh, what part of the

152
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: chain was was the issue?

153
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: Did I push it?

154
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 6: You are?

155
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: Did we grade inappropriately? Going back to the school side

156
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: of things. But if he's tough but fair and they

157
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: were felt like they were treated with respect, then okay,

158
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: that that works.

159
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: I I think I think players who put their bodies

160
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: on the line, I think they would like to win.

161
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: But again, I don't know.

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they know, Hey, I'm going to the Jets anyway,

163
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna stink. But I'm having a good

164
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: time with Aaron Glenn, so I know we're not gonna win,

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: so I just make the best of the situation.

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give m an ame. Yeah.

167
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: But all this does is this is why Woody Johnson

168
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: fired everybody.

169
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: Else but him. My goodness, the players seem to like him.

170
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean when I see the head coach, I kind

171
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: of look at it sideways and go, yeah, I don't

172
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: know what to put into that, because I again, the

173
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: stuff that is is that that I put more stock

174
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: and is more Hey, this is black and white. This

175
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: is where I can say this is a this success,

176
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: this is a failure, like for instance, to see you

177
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: know the second part of this, for the Jets and

178
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the Giants to get f minuses on their field. Right,

179
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: And we have long heard that life worst field in

180
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the NFL.

181
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: Worst field. You see a lot of injuries on it.

182
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how something that would cost that's

183
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: such an important situation, such an important thing to have

184
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: a field that players feel safe on. It doesn't cost

185
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you that much. It's not like you have to go

186
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to some kind of crazy situation.

187
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: Where you have to.

188
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Grow grass at Now you don't have to do that,

189
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: don't have to grow grass anymore, I have to do

190
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. But it's five hundred thousand dollars

191
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: to a million dollars. I don't know how this is

192
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: still continue to be a situation where the Jets and

193
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Giants field is so bad. Every year we hear it's

194
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the worst that Jason lock and Forrest told us for years.

195
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: Everybody I talk to, worst field in the league, met Life,

196
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: worst field, worst field.

197
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: How do you not fix that? How do you not

198
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: fix that?

199
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: If you're an owner, specifically from the perspective of my

200
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: guys play on this field eight or nine times a year.

201
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: I want them to be safe. Why don't I make

202
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: it a field that I feel like players can be

203
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: safe on. I mean, I've seen injuries ruined seasons. I

204
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: just saw Aaron Rodgers get hurt, ruined my season now

205
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: was at the field? Would it happened anyway?

206
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. But if the field is that bad,

207
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: how do you not make it better? How do you

208
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: not make it better?

209
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: Well, that's the easy one, right.

210
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: We talked a lot about the Steelers earlier, and there

211
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: are issues in the locker room and such. Again, easy fixes,

212
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: but not not necessarily a one to one correlation with

213
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 4: what you're doing on the field. Here, legitimately, you're risking

214
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: your investment in these players and you're not making that

215
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: adjustment right whether the guy can go to the bathroom

216
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: on time or he has to wait in line.

217
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: Okay, not ideal, but not game breaking.

218
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: This is literally, Hey, that guy ripped his knee and

219
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: he immediately said, I hate that field. We all hated

220
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: that field, and every year it bears out that you

221
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: hate the game field. Anybody that's down, when you're in

222
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: the meaty part of the curve and beyond, you really

223
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: need to evaluate it. Because that is not a hefty

224
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 4: investment at all.

225
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's watch.

226
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's five hundred grand for an owner that's a

227
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: billionaire like and it's something that directly affects your player's

228
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: safety and performance. Because this is where you want to say, yeah,

229
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: I get that if you put a blank check in

230
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: front of a guy you give the most money, he's

231
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: gonna show up.

232
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: But when it's between.

233
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: A couple of teams, you don't know what the what

234
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: the deciding factor is gonna be The deciding factor could be, Hey,

235
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: guess what they said, They're not gonna watch our kids.

236
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: We'd have to pay for own childcare.

237
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Well blank that let's go here, or they're gonna give

238
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: us child care and it's at the stadium and it's

239
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: awesome and you can bring you know, you can bring

240
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: our our son to work with you every day and

241
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: pick them up after and it's all you get more

242
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: time with him.

243
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: That's let's go play there.

244
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: And it could be a perspective of boy, I could

245
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: play on this place where they got a great field.

246
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: They got to when I go to plug play and

247
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: met life, where if I get hurt, that could be

248
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: the end of my.

249
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: Cop That's.

250
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: What's my position and the likelihood and what's you know,

251
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: start diving into the details in the history of players

252
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: at each position and how they've been affected there. I mean,

253
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 4: there's a lot of data because that's stadium's been around

254
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: a while. But yeah, the on field thing is one

255
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: of those that you immediately circle as a all right,

256
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: how do you want to impact change quickly?

257
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: There?

258
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 5: There's part one now.

259
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: The third one and it always surprises me of this. Now,

260
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I was gonna talk about the Bengals here,

261
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: but you know, because they're gonna lose Joe Burrow at

262
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: some point. And when they continue to be at the

263
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: bottom of list like this, you're gonna understand why.

264
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh that's show Listen.

265
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: I got you guys all paid. Yeah great, I'm leaving

266
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: just so you know, but you guys all got paid.

267
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: It's my parting gift. It's my Irish goodbye, and it's

268
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: gonna walk out right when you got my.

269
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: Hand Vegas Blackjack dealers stuff, I'm out of here.

270
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: You know.

271
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: When this is what always surprises me is because this

272
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: is something that is right up Jerry Jones's alley. And

273
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: when I don't see a's across the board for things

274
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: like treatment of families, home field travel training staff. When

275
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: when I don't see a's for that, that really makes

276
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: me wonder because Jerry Jones is someone that, Hey, this

277
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: is stuff that that seems to be in his wheelhouse

278
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: of I want the Dallas Cowboys to be the envy

279
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: of the NFL.

280
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, we may not win the.

281
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but we are the most popular team, We're

282
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: worth the most money, we win off the field, and

283
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are going to be the destination for

284
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: everybody in the league. And every time I see the

285
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: things that I would expect him to have a pluses

286
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: across the board, it shocks me that like travel gets

287
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: a C, and treatment of families is a B, and

288
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: the food is a B, and the training staff is

289
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: a C. Like the coach isn't special, Like they're actually

290
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: doing way better than I expected them to be doing.

291
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: But you know, ownership overall gets a B.

292
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Like that's something I think would just shap him so

293
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: bad that he would say, I'm not doing this.

294
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: What do we need to do?

295
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: I want a's on this report card next year, because

296
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: you know he looks at it, you know he cares

297
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: about it. Like I'm always surprised that he doesn't choose

298
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: to control every aspect he can about the Cowboys when

299
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: he can make them the best in the league at something,

300
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: and his money can make them the best in the

301
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: league at all of these things. You don't think he

302
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: wants a headlined hey number one team. He wants see

303
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys up there instead of the Miami Dolphins. Of course,

304
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: he wants the Cowboys up because look, anytime you're up high,

305
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: it's better for you. Free agency wise, it's a good

306
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: thing to be at the top, it's a bad thing

307
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to be at the bottom. That stuff he can control.

308
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: And when I see the low grades, that really surprises me.

309
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: Well, you got Land, You've got tons of cash, and

310
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: you're a guy that clearly loves to show off that

311
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: you've got the biggest, brightest. Remember when the Super Bowl

312
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: went to Dallas and ended up being Green Bay and Pittsburgh.

313
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: You ended up having the lawsuits over some seats. But

314
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: how proud was the league, How proud was he to

315
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: show off his brand new Jerry world, right, and they've

316
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: got nothing but Land an opportunity. And we've seen the

317
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: Jerry bus, right. We got a picture of Frostburg with

318
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: it where you're out on the town that time, right,

319
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: and there was parked beautiful.

320
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: I mean, that thing was better than any luxury bus

321
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 5: that a touring rock star uses.

322
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: It was better than the Magen Cruiser for crying out

323
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 4: loud to see anything but a's or high b's out

324
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: of any of that stuff with Jerry Jones is just

325
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: in congress to the guy that he is and the

326
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: game that he speaks in a lot of this stuff,

327
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: treatment of families a b okay, you might have upset

328
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: one family member or two out of those that voted fine,

329
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: but the game, field and all of those other amenities

330
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: are just easy. Throw a little bit of money at it.

00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 8: I live in a house with an Arizona graduate, so

421
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 8: it's all meatball all the time right now. So it's

422
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 8: so no, it is college basketball. This college basketball season

423
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 8: is fun, you know, it's it's been a nice bridge.

424
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 8: It's been fun. But yeah, we're still a few months

425
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 8: away from anybody caring about college football again. But h yeah, no,

426
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 8: it's been an interesting offseason all the way around for everything.

427
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 8: And now let's see if this you know, draft Gary's

428
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 8: in US any sort of a buzz. I'm not sensing

429
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 8: yet it does. I'm not sure what your guys' read

430
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 8: is on it, but it's all right. We know who

431
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 8: the number one guy is and bunch of edge rushers

432
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 8: and that's about it.

433
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Now, were you wrote a bit on who your big

434
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: risers could be a quarterback coming out of the combine,

435
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: Like we look Cole Payton as someone's getting a lot

436
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: of attention now out of North Dakota State.

437
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh you have the next Josh Allen, give.

438
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Me a couple of guys that you like that you

439
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: think over the next couple of days can really improve

440
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: their draft status with big performances here in the next

441
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: couple of days.

442
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 8: Well, it just depends on what they do, because everyone

443
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 8: wants to do the pro days now and everything, and

444
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 8: we'll see who decides that they actually want to throw.

445
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 8: I kind of feel like, you know, if you're a

446
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 8: quarterback and or if you're any of these guys, get

447
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 8: out there. I mean, if you can play, you can play.

448
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 8: You're not going to screw up your draft status, and

449
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 8: everyone just wants to see you. I know that the

450
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 8: problems protage is everything's so controlled and it's nothing really

451
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 8: changes it. Now you want to stand out from the pack.

452
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 8: If were that good, go show it. So the real

453
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 8: key in this whole thing is going to be just

454
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 8: how well, like you said, you know, the North Dakota

455
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 8: State guy cold look ends up doing something that should

456
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 8: stand out from everyone else because this is a weak

457
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 8: quarterback back. After Fernando, it was supposed to be Dante

458
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 8: More It's going to be everyone's number two, and that

459
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 8: was going to be the hope that he was going

460
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 8: to be.

461
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: It.

462
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 8: Now there really isn't the number two, you know, so

463
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 8: there's a chance there for you know, Fernando Rinidos is

464
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 8: obviously going to be the number one, and it's gonna

465
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 8: be a chance for someone to show off, you know,

466
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 8: who's got the big arm, who's got the who's got

467
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 8: the stuff that they don't the show? And then think

468
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 8: can look like a quarterback and then it's all in

469
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 8: the meetings after that. Uh, but there really isn't the

470
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 8: guy out there who's you know other than you know,

471
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 8: the Kenny Ticket types from here and there, who doesn't

472
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 8: there's no real franchise quarterback out there other than Mendoza want.

473
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just seem like a lot of those third

474
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 4: fourth round kind of guys with a and then retreads

475
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 4: as we get towards free agency and maybe some minor trades, uh,

476
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: making the rounds. Know, we got the the Jets make

477
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: a trade though today that kind of changes up, uh,

478
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 4: the the top of the draft. And you know, I

479
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: wasn't even gonna make fun of Aaron Glenn for falling

480
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 4: asleep because maybe he's bored by the draft process too.

481
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 8: Yeah. You know, this is again, this is kind of

482
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 8: a weird draft because you don't have a number two

483
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: quarterback in there at this point. You don't really have

484
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 8: a lot of games changing skill players arvel recent Ohio

485
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 8: State's you know, a dangerous edge rusher. Certainly today David

486
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 8: Bailly out of Detective Tech showed you know with this

487
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 8: you know four or five one that all right, check

488
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 8: that boxed off, you know, he's he's the guy that

489
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 8: wants wants there. But there really isn't a it's not

490
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: a deep draft of absolute superstars that you can just say, yeah,

491
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 8: that's that's gonna be it. These are are gonna be

492
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 8: the guys We're gonna turn everything. But that's gonna be

493
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 8: the way it is going forward because now in the

494
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 8: new era of college football, you've got eyes who are

495
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 8: staying around longer. So you're not gonna have the talent

496
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 8: that you had in past years because you're not gonna

497
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 8: have as many people like a Dante More again coming

498
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: out early. So after the top fifty, it's gonna sin

499
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 8: out fast. The difference being is all these guys are old.

500
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 8: You've got grown men out there. You're not. There's not

501
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 8: you don't have a lot of like nineteen year old

502
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 8: projections who are going to be coming out in this

503
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 8: this combine. It's gonna be the twenty three year old

504
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 8: you know guys who you know, you know what you got.

505
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 8: This is who they are. And you know, we thought

506
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 8: today where the defensive tackles, those guys are moving, the

507
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 8: edge rushers, you know, the kind of the star power

508
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 8: guys here because they do have a talent like a

509
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 8: Bailey and you know you're hoping rubens Bain was gonna run.

510
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 8: It didn't really matter and his short arms turned out

511
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 8: to be the Bigtorian all this. But but you want

512
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 8: to see these guys and they are right, But you

513
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 8: can't really come much from a forty. So again it's

514
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 8: it'll be a fun draft just because it's a little

515
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 8: top have you with some instant impact guys, because if

516
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 8: you're taking a guy in the top twenty, there's not

517
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 8: a lot of development there because again, these are older

518
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 8: guys who are going to step right in a way

519
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 8: and hopefully still a hole for you.

520
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: Pete, I'm surprised because the guy I would take at

521
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: number two is a guy who said today he feels

522
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: he's the best defensive player in the draft. I think

523
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: he's the best player in the draft. I can't believe

524
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: there's not more run for Caleb Downs at number two.

525
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Like he can he can walk in and be an

526
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: all time great NFL player. If his biggest issue is, oh,

527
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: he's a little too aggressive, Oh, I think they could

528
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: teach that a little bit at the NFL level. So

529
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I like, you're asked me to do something. I really

530
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: don't get why there's not more. Well, if Fernana Mendez

531
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: is number one, Caleb Downs is number two.

532
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 8: I have beaten this drum as long as I've been

533
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 8: doing this for twenty five years that it is the

534
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 8: most underappreciated position and I've never gotten a good answer

535
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 8: for it other than just well, safeties aren't valued as

536
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 8: much as other players in this draft, and you know

537
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 8: it just I don't get it, like really, like, at

538
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 8: the end of the day, someone's probably gonna we just

539
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 8: talk about the quarterbacks. Really, someone might overpay for a

540
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 8: Ty Simpson or something like that just because they need

541
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 8: a quarterback, or you know, a Carson Beck, who you

542
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 8: know I kind of like, but you know you're gonna

543
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 8: pay for a position. Meanwhile, you look over the years

544
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 8: and you get a good safety that changes everything. I mean,

545
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 8: I know, it's it's kind of crazy if they are

546
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 8: on any you know, big names like the Ed Reed's

547
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 8: and the Harrison Smiths, but you're seeing what Kyle Hamilton

548
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 8: can do for a defense. You're seeing what you know,

549
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 8: some of these game changing hybrid defensive backs are doing.

550
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 8: You know, John Wallis Boom is a corner you play

551
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 8: a little the guys who can just hang out in

552
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 8: the secondary and be the quarterback. Cale Downs is the

553
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 8: smartest guy in this thing. His instinct are off the charts.

554
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 8: He's just a good, smart, tough player who just doesn't

555
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 8: make mistakes. And that's kind of the thing about a

556
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 8: draft like this, where to get a guy who's gonna be,

557
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 8: you know, a Hall of Famer that requires his dumb

558
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 8: luckch if you're looking out, if you get the Aaron

559
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 8: Donald or i'm a Hoomes or a lot it's just

560
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 8: the whole point of the first round is to find

561
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 8: a guy who's going to be a rock solid, good

562
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: Pro Bowl caliber starter for you. And you're right, that's

563
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 8: Caleb Downs. So they're gonna everyone fall to the shiny object.

564
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 8: Whoever gets Downs in the top fifteen is going to

565
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 8: get a steal. Uh. Same thing with Jeremiah Love, you know,

566
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 8: jar I mean running back spend the value now at

567
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 8: this point because you don't really went up with running backs. Uh,

568
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 8: but he might be the best player in this draft

569
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 8: outside of Mendoza. And you got to be really sold

570
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 8: on Mendoza at this point because, uh, he's your number

571
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 8: one of ones and that's it. But if you're the Raiders,

572
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 8: and you're thinking, that's your franchise guy's opposed to going

573
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 8: out there and going after, you know, a free agent retreat.

574
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 8: Maybe he's not a free agent, but go after like

575
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 8: a Kyler Murray. You're go after even you know someone

576
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 8: needs that caliber and hope he can just fill in

577
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 8: the gap for you and be that guy. Well, Mendoza

578
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 8: is gonna be a franchise guy for the next couple

579
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: of years, and like, like you just said, Caleb Downs

580
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 8: can be franchise player as a safety and your guy

581
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 8: for the next ten years. The Regier Defense.

582
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: Longtime friend of the show, Pete Feutech joins us here

583
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 4: Jason Smith Show with Me, Mike Harmon here on Fox

584
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. You here Pete with us throughout the football season,

585
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 4: now getting me ready for the NCAA Tournament at College

586
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 4: Footballnews dot Com at Pete Futech where you find him

587
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: in the Twitter verse. Pete, you mentioned the wide receivers

588
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: a little bit before, A muddled mess to a degree.

589
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 4: You can talk about Tate. We talked about Lemon Cooper.

590
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 4: Who's your pick of the litter there.

591
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gotta be Tate. I mean it's yeah, I'm

592
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 8: not a big fan of taking wide receivers early. I

593
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 8: mean again, I like ticky defensive tackles. I like the

594
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 8: I'm an infrastructure guy, so I like the lines. Get

595
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 8: a true playmaker up top the wide receiver. You're really

596
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 8: playing with fire. Yeah, maybe you'll get it Jamar Chase.

597
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 8: But how many Super Bowls do they have with Burrow

598
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 8: and Chase so far? I mean, it's it just doesn't

599
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 8: quite work, you know. The Yes, you get the Marvin

600
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 8: Harrison juniors who you're fine but not great. So to

601
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 8: get a Carnal Page you'll find it, you know, but

602
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 8: you're gonna have to get a top five maybe seven

603
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 8: pick to go after him. But he is the guy

604
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: of the bunch. And so you can go a little

605
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 8: deeper in this draft and get some wide receivers. And

606
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 8: again the real position value early on. And this is

607
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 8: why today was really sort of telling an interesting and

608
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 8: you know why Reuben bains short arms matter is it

609
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 8: is the edge rushers. Everyone's looking for more edge rushers.

610
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 8: And I was actually more impressed by the defensive tackles

611
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 8: because you know, yeah, we joke about you and we

612
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 8: just watched the Olympics and stuff. I'll argue that the

613
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 8: best athletes on the planet are out there in Indy

614
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 8: because look at you've got a six three, you know,

615
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 8: two three hundred and twenty five pounds Lee Hunter, you

616
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 8: know cranking out. You know, a five to one forty.

617
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 8: You have, you know, Zane Durant out of Penn Stage

618
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 8: who's running a four to seven. I mean, these guys

619
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 8: are just big, giant human beings who can move, and

620
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 8: they were all agile through the drills and so these

621
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 8: defensive tackles are great. So I think this is it's

622
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 8: not a fun draft, and you don't have a lot

Speaker 4: at Chicago.

667
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: I think Pacino played Sonny Styles in a mob movie

668
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight.

669
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sunny Styles, Sonny Styles.

670
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 9: Well, I know we had Furious Styles sure, oh with

671
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 9: the with the ball bearings that he would see. Yeah,

672
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 9: the most menacing perhaps Laurence Fishburn ever was even though

673
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 9: he was in the.

674
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: Matrix that is too well you know, you know he

675
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: was the guy in charge of the matrix until he wasn't,

676
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: and Neo was the one until then he wasn't.

677
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: But maybe that's what made Furious Styles, that was the

678
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 4: evolution into the matrix.

679
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: I see where you're thinking about that. I like that.

680
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: What up?

681
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: Don't time now to find out what's trending in the

682
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. Of someone who's seen the matrix

683
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty one times, it's Monte Bolangos.

684
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 10: Jason, I don't care about the matrix right now.

685
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen the matrix?

686
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 10: Of course I have?

687
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, okay.

688
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 10: Does the fact baby cry when it's hungry? Of course

689
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 10: I have.

690
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 5: Okay, are you going to a fat baby?

691
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 10: Are you a baby? Then that's a different question. That's

692
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 10: a different question.

693
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what game you play? Just get

694
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: said about, Oh, you're upset. The Clippers are gonna lose.

695
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, the Clippers, the shorthanded Clippers without Kawhi Leonard, without

696
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 11: John Collins, And right now it was annoying.

697
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 10: Is that Nicholas Pett he's your best player. He started tonight,

698
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 10: He did start, He did start.

699
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 11: I yes, So a guy that typically comes off the

700
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 11: bench started, Thank you so much, and he is all,

701
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 11: let me just double check that, oh right, four or fourteen?

702
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 10: Thank you so much.

703
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 11: Yes, it has been a defensive showing on both ends.

704
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 11: But what was really annoying is the Clippers were still

705
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 11: in it down four with about forty two seconds, and

706
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 11: then Nicholas B who Nicol Butatu, who is usually pretty

707
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 11: good on the inbound pass, just threw it to nobody

708
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 11: and we turned it over.

709
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 3: And now the well he made up for it. How

710
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: many points does he have tonight?

711
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 10: I don't know.

712
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 11: He's got zero, Yes, I don't It doesn't matter.

713
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 5: And right now he's not gonna want to be friends

714
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 5: with you anymore.

715
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: The Timberwolves, I don't think so.

716
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 11: Ninety two eighty eight is ninety three eighty eight is

717
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 11: a score with about twelve seconds to go. Anthony Edwards

718
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 11: twenty nine points in this one. He is the leading

719
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 11: scorer of the game. Four of the Clippers. The leading

720
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 11: scorer of the game is Derek Jones Junior. He's got

721
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 11: eighteen points. So it's been a low scoring game. But

722
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 11: the Clippers did hold on as much as they could

723
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 11: against the Timberwolves. But it looks like Minnesota may win this.

724
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 11: The Lakers couldn't handle the shorthanded Suns, though Phoenix won

725
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 11: that one one thirteen to one ten. Phoenix made twenty

726
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 11: two threes in this one, which was the season high.

727
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 11: It was Grayson Allen off the bench who also led

728
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 11: the way. He ended with twenty eight points. The Lakers

729

Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, and boy, do we have a big developing

785
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: story out of the NBA coming your way. It's not

786
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: often we get a uh, let's just say it, what's

787
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: called a close game in the NBA. Now, every game's

788
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: a blowout, but once in a while we get a

789
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: close game.

790
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 4: Then we get excited. What a while, because then we

791
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 4: get heroes and goats. Otherwise it's ad that game sucked.

792
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: The Lakers and the Suns came down to the final

793
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: possession tonight. The surprising Phoenix Suns the Lakers, who seemed

794
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: to be drifting along on fumes. The last couple of nights,

795
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: they were tied at one ten until Royce O'Neil decides, Uh,

796
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to untie.

797
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 6: This game down to ten seconds. Talent to his left

798
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 6: now stops and goes to his right. It's around Luca

799
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 6: into the lane, hangs in the air, feeds s gillspie

800
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 6: out to O'Neill and open three on the way.

801
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 5: He got it.

802
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 9: Whoys O'Neil from downtown put nine.

803
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 3: Tens of a second left on the clock and the.

804
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 9: Suns take a three polead thirteen to one ten.

805
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 4: Boo, Yeah, that background was pretty good, like almost second.

806
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be saying this. Let me move away from

807
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 4: my microphone and my head say boo.

808
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: I want to say it, but I don't want to

809
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: disturb the play by play exactly know that I'm saying

810
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: boo yah uh now one thirteen, one ten with one

811
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: second left to go, and Austin Reeves misses an open

812
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: three from the quarner on the final play. Look, the

813
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: Lakers the last couple of nights have done a phenomenal

814
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: job getting players open for the final shot, and it

815
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: hasn't gone Luca very hesitant, a couple of nights ago

816
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: against the Magic Reeves misses tonight. But the thing about this,

817
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: this is why the Lakers are the number one trending

818
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: topic right now on Twitter. Here's JJ Reddick following the

819
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: game talking about the Lakers and the losses mounting up

820
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: and what the real issue is with Los Angeles.

821
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 12: We talk about this as staff like, our losses are

822
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 12: louder than other teams because we're the Lakers and because

823
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 12: of the way we lose. You know, you get this

824
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 12: deep in the season. And again, tonight was a one

825
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 12: possession clutch game, which you know now now we've you know,

826
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 12: lost a few of those, but we've been great for

827
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 12: the most part in the clutch all year.

828
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: Our losses are louder.

829
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, here's the thing, and this is what I said.

830
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go all the way back to what I

831
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: said about JJ Reddick when he first got You know,

832
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: my friend JJ Reddick, right who loves me, loves me,

833
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: loves me, loves me. I don't care what Jason Smith

834
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: has to say, uh when he got hired, When he

835
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: was in the mix for getting hired, I said, you know,

836
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: I get why people like JJ Reddick it's you know, hey,

837
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: being on TV for a long time and throw it

838
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: out opinions.

839
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: Is apparently now a path to whatever you want to

840
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: do in life. Right.

841
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: It used to be school in college. Now it's like, hey,

842
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: you're on television, you can do anything.

843
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, I'll get any job I want to.

844
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

845
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: And I remember going all the way back to the

846
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: beginning saying, hey, I'm not anti JJ Reddick getting a

847
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: gig when the only jobb he has had previously as

848
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: a head coach is being the head coach in fourth

849
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: grade basketball. Look, obviously the guy's got the pedigree he's

850
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: got you know, the players know him really well. He's

851
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna walk into the lock him with a cachet. But wow,

852
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: to have JJ Reddick and your first job be coaching

853
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: Lebron and the Lakers, that might be a little bit

854
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: too much to ask. It might be better for Reddick, Hey,

855
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: if his first gig is a little off the beaten

856
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: path where he can succeed and fail and not always

857
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: be in the in the bright spotlight. Because coaching the Lakers,

858
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: everything you do is going to be under a different microscope.

859
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: And you would think a guy's been on television for

860
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: as long as he would would understand that when the

861
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: Lakers lose, yeah, they lose louder than everybody else. And

862
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: the way he talks about this, it's almost like, yeah, well,

863
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, hey, it's not fair our loss a lot. Yeah, okay,

864
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: sorry about that. But you knew the gig coming in.

865
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: You knew that when the Lakers lose a game in

866
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: the last possession, people are going to talk about it

867
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: more than when the Sacramento Kings lose a game on

868
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: the last possession, When Luca is hesitant, when Austin Reeves misses,

869
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: when Lebron looks like, how is he still happy playing

870
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: alongside Luca? You have to know that this is how

871
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: this is the gig. And at this point, I don't

872
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: know if the gig isn't getting too big for JJ

873
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: Reddick with what's going on, because I'm sure he thought

874
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: by now, we're gonna solve our problems all year last year,

875
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: trading for Luca getting healthy, and still we're coming down

876
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: to the end of games against teams like the Suns

877
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: playing without their top two scorers and they still beat

878
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Like this is what's unforgivable. Dude, don't talk

879
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: about the pressure. Talk to me about how when your

880
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: team that you're missing two guys averaging forty five a

881
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: game between the two of them, and you still lost

882
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: with your team being as healthy as they want to,

883
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: but you can't get past controversy with DeAndre Ayton who

884
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: was benched down the stretch and Lebron's playing center and

885
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: all of these things are going on, Like, let's talk

886
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: about that, man, Let's deal with that being the problem

887
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: and not how loud everybody is when the Lakers lose

888
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: a game, Like I wonder if it's getting to be

889
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: too much for him.

890
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get the idea, and it's a great notion.

891
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 4: That's for us to talk about. That's not for you

892
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: as the coach. And certainly the heat has been ratcheted

893
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 4: up with the number of changes happening in the organization

894
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 4: or organization as we say it here on the Jason

895
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 4: Smith Show with Mike Carman, like we're Canadian, but the

896
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: idea of all those Dodgers execs and everything's starting to

897
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 4: swirl about as to you know what changes are next.

898
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 4: But you're now one game ahead of this Phoenix Suns team.

899
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 4: Suddenly you're down to the play in tournament as opposed

900
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: to about three weeks ago. I was like, Hey, they're

901
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: a top three team and they're getting healthy, Reeve is

902
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 4: gonna be back. It's all gonna be great. And instead

903
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: it's gone completely the other way, And when you have

904
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: chances to close it out, you're not.

905
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: I really you really wonder is jj Reddick as time

906
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: goes on, getting in more over his head. More NBA

907
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: big stories out of the NFL Next
