I said, 50 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: if I put the losses for the Thunder for the 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: rest of the postseason at two and a half, I 52 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: take the under. Only need five more sixteen on the postseason. 53 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: That's why I mean, and I put it, and they've 54 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: lost one, right, they lost Game three, But are they 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: really gonna lose two more games? They're gonna win Game five. 56 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna beat the crap out of the t Wolves 57 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: in Game five to win this series. And is someone 58 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: gonna beat them or the Knicks or Pacers gonna beat them? Twice? 59 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: In the NBA saying that Anthony Edwards is not gonna 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: show up for Game five either. He didn't even she 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: barely showed up for the postgame press conference. With the 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: lack of accountability that he had for this game tonight. 63 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: So we talked about and Edwards last hour and again 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: I prestate and a half why did I pick the thunder? 65 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: Why did I say they're gonna Because I know Sga 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: is going to show up to every game and give 67 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: you an MVP superstar like performance. And that's what he's 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: done so far this series. When his team needs him, 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: he finds a way, even if it's not his night. 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: He finds away, gets the free throw line, a near 71 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: triple double tonight with forty points, and Edwards disappears. He 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: disappears a couple of times. I told you this before 73 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the series began. He disappears a couple of times a 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: series where you say we needed more out of you, right, 75 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Chris Finch Again, I keep going back to him, keep 76 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: hearing in my head. After the Game one against the Nuggets, 77 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: when they asked about Edward's playing, he said, I don't 78 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: know what to tell you. We need him to come 79 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: in and set the tone and lead, right. He needs 80 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: to have that kind of game. And when he was 81 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: told about Chris Finch's comments, Edwards said, no, I don 82 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: feel like I played bad. You know, offensively wasn't there, 83 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: But I played good defensive Like, whoa dude, you're the leader. 84 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: You need to take some responsibility, whether it's your fault 85 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: or not. You're the best player on the team, you're 86 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: the superstar. It's always I after a loss. Right, it's 87 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: I after a loss and we after a win. When 88 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: you don't win, this is how it goes. Right, You 89 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: get all the credit when you win. You got to 90 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: you gotta understand that when it comes, you gotta take. 91 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: You gotta take responsibility when when you lose, even if 92 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: it's not all your fault, even you don't believe it's 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: all your fault, you say, I have to be better. 94 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: This is what leaders and what big players do. So 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: after tonight, his second real no show because he didn't 96 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of shots. Height he had the third 97 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: most shots on the team. He had two shots in 98 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: the first half. Right, two shots in the first half 99 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: and thirteen for the game. Right, this is not how 100 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: you win. But it's the second and four games that 101 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: he didn't show up for and it's the second time 102 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: of those games that they lost. Game one was there 103 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: for them, it was they were leading at halftime. No 104 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: show in the second half, the Thunderboat race them two 105 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: shots in the first half and the thunder run away 106 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: from them in the second half, and it's another pedestrian night. 107 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Or Edwards was sixteen six and four. Now, I wouldn't 108 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: be so hard on the guy if it wasn't. Hey, 109 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: he's the next great player, and he seems very comfortable 110 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: being annointed as a next great player in the NBA. 111 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: And he's not because great players don't disappear like this 112 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: or fail to affect the game as often as Edwards does. 113 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: And tonight with thirteen shots, I mean, really, McDaniels had 114 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: more shots, Alexander Walker had more shots off the bench, right, 115 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: even Chenzo almost had as many shots. To you, you 116 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: need to be the guy. It's two to one. You 117 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: don't win this game. The series is over man. And 118 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: still it was another night where he failed to lead, 119 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: and he failed to set the tone. So let's hear 120 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: from Ann Edwards in the In his postgame press conference 121 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: at his chair in front of his locker, he was 122 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: asked about the struggles of he and Julius Randall. Edwards 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: worth sixteen points, Randal just five points and twenty eight minutes. 124 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: And here's what Edwards had to say in response to 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: that question. A did you guys struggle tonight? 126 00:05:59,320 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: Definitely not that. 127 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 4: I guess the points I wanted to get, but I 128 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: mean they didn't really let me get too many shots off. 129 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 4: They did a good job of that. Every time I 130 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 4: had the ball. They showed me a future crowd. So 131 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 4: just making the right play getting off of it, and 132 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 4: my guys hit shots tonight. So we shotts to him. 133 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 5: A bunch of you guys play in front of the 134 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 5: thought it was big guys from you and Randall and 135 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: how to kind of hit you for the fact that 136 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 5: you got to pull the struggle. 137 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: At the same time to night. 138 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: I don't look at it like I struggled or he struggled. 139 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 4: They just they had a good game plan making us 140 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: get off the ball. Well, especially for me, man, it 141 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 4: was super into gaps. I made the right play all night, 142 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: So I don't really look at it like I struggled. 143 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 4: I didn't get enough shots to say I struggled, So 144 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: that's why that might be how you guys look at it. 145 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I can't struggle. Oh, it just I made 146 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: the right play. Wow, I didn't struggle at all. I 147 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: just made the right play. Let me check because I 148 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: think he had like eighteen assists. Oh no, he had six. Wow. 149 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: You talk about a guy that will just not take 150 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: respectibility after a loss like this. Dude, this is basketball 151 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: one oh one. But he only had one turnover? Right, 152 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I don't oh wait, six five turnovers. I made the 153 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: right play. I don't look at it as me and 154 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: Julius struggled. You don't look at the fact that you 155 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: scored sixteen and and and and didn't really affect the 156 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: game offensively, and Julius Randall had five. You didn't struggle. 157 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: They did a good job, not goot. So what you're 158 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: saying is you're eminently stoppable. If the other team has 159 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: a good game plan, they can stop me. Wow. Man, 160 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: that's not That's not what a superstar says. That's not 161 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: what happens superstar on the court. That is stunning to me, 162 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: But that he won't say. No, I'm not gonna look 163 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: at it as we struggled, Like, dude, what what do 164 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: you think? What what do you think goes on in 165 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: the game? What world do you live in where you 166 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: think this is a game that you played well in? 167 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: That's that that stuns me. 168 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: I'm all for once the series is done, you then 169 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: can tip your cap talk about their all defense ranking 170 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: and first team second team, here's some love and some 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: flowers towards the feet of lou Dort and whatever else 172 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: have added. But as the series is going on, you 173 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: obviously didn't make all the right plays. 174 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: Right. 175 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: Your assistant turnover ratio is basically one to one. Now, 176 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: maybe part of that I gotta go back and look, 177 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: did he he got credit for a turnover at that 178 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: last heave? So maybe it's you know whatever, six four. 179 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: But the point just being that they were able to 180 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: bottle you up, which means you're also not only in 181 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: it's an indictment on you and your teammates coordinating on 182 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 3: the court. You're also flipping off Finch at the same time. Well, 183 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: they couldn't get me free, right, they couldn't scheme to 184 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: get me open and get me some open looks. 185 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: After hearing that, I can officially squash the face of 186 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: the league after hearing I mean, really, that's not what 187 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: the face of the league says. He is officially out 188 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: of the running. He is out of the circle of trust. Greg, 189 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: You are out of the circle of trust, like can 190 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: you imagine? And I'm not going back to where you 191 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: talking about face the leagust you met in Jordan or 192 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: Steph or Lebron or Kobe say, I don't feel like 193 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: I struggled, you know, No, no, no, Lebron did, because 194 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: he said ten guys didn't do anything. Well. Lebron would 195 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: also give the rest of his stats. But I can't 196 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: imagine none of these guys would have said, yeah, I 197 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: look at it as I didn't take enough shots to struggle. Okay, 198 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: well you need to take more shots. You're the best 199 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: player on the team. That's kind of funny, right, I. 200 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 3: Mean, I don't mean I didn't struggle, I didn't take 201 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: enough shots. 202 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: I made the right play. 203 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: I mean that does invoke some of the Lebron lines. 204 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: I mean it's the right basketball play. I mean, go 205 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: through it's the right basketball play. So I mean he 206 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: didn't take a little from that playbook, but basically saying 207 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 3: you were able to be contained and bottled up to 208 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: where you couldn't. 209 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: Get a shot off. Sorry, it's a fail on a 210 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: hundred levels here. 211 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: That is, while you're I mean in the video to 212 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: go with it is, he just seems so unaffected by it. 213 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: But I don't mean, I don't mean you have to 214 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: have your head in your hands. My god, No, No, 215 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: he's just kind of smile like, hey, what are you 216 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 3: gonna do? 217 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, look his body language. Look, he's sitting at 218 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: his locker in front of you know, answering questions. And 219 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: he's answering the questions, right, He's not being rude to 220 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: the reporters. He's answering the questions. He's looking them all 221 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: in the eye when he's talking. This is how, this 222 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: is how he does it. But like, but I get that. 223 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying I'm not saying it's it's that, 224 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: but the body language of dude, this is the Western 225 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: Conference Finals. You may never get here again, and it 226 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: seems like, hey, it's no big deal. You're down three 227 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: to one. This is not summer League. You know, you're 228 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: down three to one, and this is where your team 229 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: wants to see you be pissed and say, hey, I gotta, 230 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta put us. I'm gonna put us 231 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: on our on my back, and we're gonna go out 232 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: and make sure that this doesn't happen again in game five. 233 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: But instead it's just it's just a matter of fact. Yeah, 234 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: well he did a good job on me. Whoa I 235 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: read really really, I because I remember Kobe Bryant saying 236 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: did a good job. He defensively, I couldn't do anything. 237 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: I remember Kobe saying that all the time. Not right, 238 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: I'll just gonna say that. 239 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: But that's the thing, right, Like I'm always loath to 240 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: compare guys to the all time greats. But that's where 241 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 3: this conversation has gone with Anthony Edwards over the last 242 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: eighteen months. So we wrap it in when you mentioned 243 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 3: guys like Jordan and Kobe and go down to Lebron 244 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: and whomever else that you want to rope in. Is 245 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: he's been included into those conversations based on his twenty 246 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: seven points per game. Being a volume shooter, right, he's 247 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: a forty three, forty four guy each year. Like it's 248 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: not like he's maximizing. He's not living above the ram 249 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: all of that. Like he's gonna make and miss jump shots, 250 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 3: but he's not taking any no right, that passivity like 251 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: looking at the shot chart. Normally we're sitting there and 252 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: looking at it and trying to parse out is that 253 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 3: three attempts from that area? 254 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Is that two? Like here at singular dots all over 255 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: the place for Julius Randall, there's a single empty circle 256 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: for a couple of the quarters, Like, these are your leaders. 257 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: These are the guys you're paying to be the leader 258 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: of your squad. They got you to this point. Yeah, 259 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: take nothing away from Alexander Walker de Vincenzo, who you're 260 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: well and the world's well. 261 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: Familiar with at this point. But those guys had to 262 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: be exceptional to a whole other level tonight to keep 263 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: you in the game. Alexander Walker had as many assists 264 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: as Edwards did in his twenty nine minutes play. 265 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean, look, and it's not just as simple as 266 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards needs to shoot the ball more right, It's 267 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: not that simple. It's like, again, go back to what 268 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Chris Finch said, head coach the te Wolves after the 269 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: first game against the knother was Miles Finch. He needs 270 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: Miles Finch. Miles Finch, Miles's peaches are vulnerable. Okay, don't 271 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: put me on hold. You got any more? You got 272 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: any more? Do Santa? No, You're more time? Okay say 273 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: it to my face one more time. Look, man, I 274 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: get is that he said we need you to set 275 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: the tone and lead, right, that's what you said. And 276 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: the passivity that he has. He doesn't set the tone. 277 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: He never set the tone tonight, like SGA tries to 278 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: set the tone. If my SHOT's not falling, I will 279 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: find a way to set the tone, and he does. 280 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: This should have been if it was really that bad 281 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: a night and Anthony Edwoods really had that bad a night, 282 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: well then guess what. There should have been much better plays. 283 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: If you if the defenders are too tough on you, 284 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: they're rolling two guys at you, your numbers should have 285 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: been higher in the assist department. You should have found 286 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: a way to affect the game. But instead it was 287 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: like I tried to get open and I couldn't. I 288 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: gave up, and I gave up rather than than try 289 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: to get to the hoop, I'm at home. Maybe you're 290 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: gonna get the get the calls and get to the 291 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: free throw line. You know SGA knows how to do it. 292 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: Was shot five to seven from the fall line. I mean, obviously. 293 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: The the purposeful miss at the end he makes the first, 294 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: but that means you got to the fall line five times. 295 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Wow, I mean he for that final take, I mean 296 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: you got to take some kind of responsibility. Maybe he 297 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: just doesn't understand. Maybe he needs one of those meetings where, dude, 298 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: you need to figure out a way to impart your 299 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: will on the game. This is not just it's there 300 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: for you or it's not. You need to find This 301 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: is the bleeping playoffs, man, this is you are puffs. 302 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: You are three years away from the NBA finals, right, 303 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: you are three ways away from playing for the Larry 304 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: O'Brien Trophy. And and it's just I don't feel like 305 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: we struggle. He's again, I don't I don't know that 306 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: he gets it, right, that's I just don't know that 307 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: he gets it. And it's part of it's always part 308 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: of the education of a star that you need to 309 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: get things. You need to understand that things are different 310 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: and the stakes are different in the playoffs. But he 311 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: needs that meeting, man, He needs that that NBA intervention saying, hey, dude, 312 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: you realize that that you are absolutely killing us and 313 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: not and not taking responsibility after the game. That's killing 314 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: us even more. 315 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: Well, they do say that you're not fully formed up 316 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: in the brain until you're twenty five.

He's probably got everything away from her. 551 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 3: They just had had the run of runs the last 552 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: eighteen months he did between and the Bob Dylan biopic. 553 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, we're gonna trying to get Chala 554 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: May to come to the game instead, come to Culver 555 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: City just right here, shot May.

Can I get some free makeup? 559 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: Shout shout no, because that would be a big decay, 560 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: Like if the champions because they're still figuring out the 561 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: day of the championship that if it if it's up 562 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: do you mean what do you mean they're figuring out 563 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: the day as well, because you know, because they're moving. No, 564 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 1: they may move it to us from no, no, no, 565 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: they may move it to a specific stadium. It's a 566 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: big championship. Uh no, it's like Caitlin Clark, we're expanding. 567 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: So we're waiting to find out exactly just when the 568 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: game is because now all the championships in this week 569 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: and then you know we got states and everything. So, uh, 570 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: they're figuring out. So if it's opposite the Knicks, like, 571 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, that's tough. That's tough. 572 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 3: Make sure your wireless plan is paid up and got 573 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 3: good reception. Yeah right, you're not next to a poll 574 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 3: or some an will say he's always up. But Brunson's 575 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 3: at the line with thirty seconds left. Okay, all right, 576 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 3: I guess all right, fine, she's got plenty of bats 577 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 3: left in that bat. By the way, we're down six 578 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: to one, and it's all her hair's fault, so it 579 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: really doesn't matter. This is like a Sammy, so said 580 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 3: Bat at this point. 581 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: To Mike Trout with the Angels, look now at stats 582 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: and honestly where no wins. So I went, oh, oh, oh, 583 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: this is a bet. The other thing Saturday, right, Saturday 584 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: was awesome? Right, we win the game Saturday six? Nothing? 585 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: You had some cheese? No, no, no, no, dude went 586 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: to I was I was one of the did I 587 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: was one of the one hundred and fifty people that 588 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: went to the Angels Marlins game Saturday night? Because a 589 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: say that that was in family sparsely attended? Yeah, kind yeah, so, 590 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: and again it's everything that that you expect. First of all, 591 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: First of all, it's my fault. As much as as 592 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: much as I cursed Julius Randall, I think we cursed 593 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: the Angels. They had won eight in a row. We 594 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: went to the loss. 595 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 3: Have something in common, now, Yeah, we've both seen the 596 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 3: Marlins live this year because I saw the White Sox 597 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 3: beat them a couple of weeks ago. Who are you at? 598 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: And we're friend that went see you went to Angels Marlining. 599 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: He looks at me and says, do you know any 600 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: of these guys on the Marlins. It's like their lineup 601 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: is so Gen Dawson. But I said, here's the thing, 602 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: and I said, I said, look, go into a game 603 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: like this. It's not about the game, it's about the amenities. 604 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: And he was like all right, and sure enough, we 605 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: pull up and we park right outside of the gate. Right. 606 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: This is not like Dodgers everywhere you go and you 607 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: drop drive around for forty five minutes a month, you're 608 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: still a mile and a half drive around. You have 609 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: to park and then walk in, and it's it's a 610 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: mile and a half to walk in. No Angels. We 611 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: basically it was almost We parked where it's almost like hey, 612 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: when they give a car away and they drive it 613 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: on the field, like that's almost where we got to park. 614 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: They've got to go all the way up and stop 615 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: and park. We walked out. We from our car into 616 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: the stadium. I don't know that I took seventy five steps. Like, 617 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: that's how close it was to get in, right. So 618 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: you get in and and we we sit, and we 619 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: sit in the box and and right there they bring 620 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: the food to you at your seat and you just 621 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: scan on the thing and they bring the food and 622 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: they don't want it to go to waste. No, But 623 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: it's awesome that I don't have to get up bring 624 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: it to somebody. I don't have to get up to 625 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: get anything, right. I just that's the best part, right, 626 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing. The trade off is you're watching the 627 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: Angels and the Marlins. Like, okay, I could watch the Dodgers. 628 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: I can watch the Dodgers, and boy, I get to 629 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: see Otani and Freeman and the and the show and 630 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: all of that.

Uh, thanks to Jason Lock and forrest up 699 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: and by with us earlier in the show. NFL in 700 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: Solder Uh reports today that the Steelers backup plan not 701 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: to be a backup, but their plan B. Let's just 702 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: say yeah, the Steelers plan B for a quarterback. Over 703 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: the course of the last few days. If Aaron Rodgers does 704 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: not decide he wants to play wants to wait for 705 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: something else more, that Kirk Cousins could be their backup plan, 706 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: something we've speculated right about on this show for a while. 707 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, Jeremy Fowler adding some fuel to it. Now 708 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: he is still on the Falcons because the Falcons. There's 709 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: just there's just one thing wrong with him being on 710 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: the Falcon decision to keep him right now, there's one one, 711 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: one thing wrong. Let's say I got what they're trying. 712 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: There's only one thing wrong with with with their decision 713 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: to keep him on the roster right now. It's one 714 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: thing wrong. Tell me what it is. It's stupid, Okay, 715 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: the only thing that's wrong, all right, So that's a 716 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: variant of its stinks. He's not your quarterback anymore. He 717 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: could have had value elsewhere in the league. But no, no, 718 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: we're happy holding on is our backup. That that's just stupid, right, 719 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: That's stupid from Arthur Blank all the way down. When 720 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: you when you have a quarterback and it doesn't work out, 721 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: you made the decision. How you get on and move 722 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: on from quarterbacks? Now in the NFL, is you pay 723 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: a lot of money, you eat a lot of money, 724 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: and you move on. It's what the Packers did with Rogers. 725 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 1: It's what the Jets did with Rogers. It's what the 726 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks did with Russell Wilson. It's what the Broncos 727 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: did with Russell Wilson. This is how it works. When 728 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: you make a mistake, you eat money, I mean and 729 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: and and for them to say we're okay with him 730 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: being the backup, all right, when there's no games going 731 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: on and there's no real team activities, it sounds great, right, 732 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with that. It's a problem. Your starter 733 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: from last year, who is a who you signed to 734 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: be a start, not that you signed to be a backup. 735 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: He assented. If someone got hurt, then he goes back. 736 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: But this is a guy you signed to be your starter. 737 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: He doesn't stay on the team if he's not starting anymore. 738 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: It's a problem. It's a problem, and you eat money 739 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: and you move on because now the Falcons have screwed 740 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: themselves because eventually they're gonna they're gonna have to eat 741 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: money and just not have him because there is no 742 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: other team in the NFL that is going to trade 743 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: for him outside of the Steelers. And if Steelers get 744 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, which is their first plan. Guess what you're 745 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: stuck and you mean no team in the NFL? Like, 746 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: is it interesting Kirk Cousins, Yes, but no team is 747 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: going to trade for him? Right? They needed to make 748 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: this move in free agency before the draft and say 749 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: we'll eat a bunch of cash. But instead, what did 750 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: you get today when when the when the Plan B 751 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: story came out? The Falcons really want a team X 752 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: to pay this amount of money if they're gonna trade him? No, dude, 753 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There's interest, but there's not all kinds of 754 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: interest because Cousins was bad last year. Now, is there 755 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: the school of thought that, Okay, it took him more 756 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: time because he's old to get over his injury, and 757 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: maybe the second year is gonna be better. Sure, because 758 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: he saw that with Rodgers the end of last year 759 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: he was a lot better than he was beginning of 760 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: last year. But you've screwed yourselves now, because if you 761 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: can't get him to Pittsburgh and they probably still screw 762 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: it up and ask for Pittsburgh to pay a lot 763 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: of money and Pittsburgh's not paying money for anybody, you 764 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: screwed yourself, Like the Falcons have no idea what it 765 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: is to run a franchise when it comes to big 766 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: money decisions in twenty twenty five, when you pay money 767 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: for a quarterback and it doesn't work out, he's gone, 768 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: and you find a way to get him away from 769 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: your team because it's going to be a problem. But 770 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: the Falcons clearly don't get that, don't understand that. So 771 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: now they're gonna wind up being stuck if Rogers winds 772 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: up going to the Steelers, and they're gonna wind up 773 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: eating money to release him anyway, and then a team 774 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: will say, oh yeah, Kirk Cousins come in for five million, 775 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: six million dollar. Yeah, okay, we're having to come as 776 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: a backup. Maybe you wis send, but no one's going 777 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: to make a trade for him and pay pay money 778 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: for him. That's stupid and you completely misvalued that. 779 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it comes down to this is you're 780 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 3: at the point, if you're Arthur bla Is, you realize 781 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 3: you're in a corner and you're trying to find someone 782 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 3: who becomes desperate and hoping that Aaron Rodgers decides you'd 783 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 3: rather keep going and doing a speaking tour and podcasts 784 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 3: and occasional TV appearances rather than be an NFL quarterback. 785 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: That's your hope. 786 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 3: Uh so you at least have one team in an 787 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 3: active potential desperation to try to compete. 788 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: Okay, fine. The other is you have to go find 789 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: a guy like I don't know, the Bill Murray character 790 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: in Caddy Shack. You gotta find a Carl to go 791 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: find you some gophers. And here you have to create 792 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of gopher holes on practice fields across the 793 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: NFL and hope that some other team has a horrible injury. 794 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: So suddenly you have a marketplace for your core. You 795 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: were kind of going Sam Kennison there, that was It 796 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: was a little bit Sam Kennison. 797 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 3: I would have had to go up in the register 798 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 3: to a full on screen. But oh he's too big. 799 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 3: But just that idea. All right, I'll say it. But 800 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 3: now you're standing around and saying, Okay, the odds are 801 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 3: and history has shown that this number of quarterbacks are 802 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: either failures or get hurt in the training camp and preseason. 803 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: That's what you're doing. Every Arthur Blank, You're holding out home. 804 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 3: Steady steady versus cutting your losses and moving on. 805 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: I get it. 806 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 3: He's got a reported thirty seven and a half thirty 807 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 3: eight million dollars in cuting the seventies in a row. Yeah, 808 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 3: for over the next two years. 809 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: I get that. That's a lot of money. You've done 810 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: a lot of business deals, Arthur Blank miss You've written 811 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: off thirty eight million dollars in some of your other 812 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: business ventures through the years. This is one where you 813 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: take the pat on the back, recognize this is not 814 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: good for anybody and move on. 815 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 5: Now. 816 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 3: If you're looking at it as he's insurance in case 817 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 3: Pennix isn't the guy or gets hurt, I guess I 818 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 3: understand the logic to a small degree. Because dollar cost 819 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 3: averaging your quarterback position, you're not paying that much for 820 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 3: Panicx's deal. 821 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 1: I get it. 822 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 3: But having Kirk cousins in the room ain't the healthiest 823 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 3: way to go either. 824 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: You gotta follow my philosophy. Of my philosophy that I follow. 825 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: When lunch is don't change the hair. When lunch is 826 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: put in front of me, you gotta eat it. That's 827 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: my philosophy. You got it. When lunch is put in 828 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: front of you gotta eat it. When you make that mistake, 829 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: you gotta eat the money. You gotta say, all right, 830 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna pay all of that, what can we do 831 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: to get a draft pick to do something? And they 832 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: completely blew it, Like really, when I watched them for 833 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: the last year, it's like, do you know what you're 834 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: doing a quarterback? Do you really know? But even this, 835 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to pay the full freight of 836 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: the thirty seven to five good Heelers are gonna meet 837 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: you part of the way because you get to cost 838 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: fifteen or whatever for Rogers. This is if if if. 839 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 3: If, And I'm saying, you know, in terms of alternative 840 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 3: costs and opportunity costs coming. 841 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: Up next back into the NBA playoffs, why one team 842 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: might be running scared after today.
