00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right, what about us?

10

00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: be played and written about. The one and only my partner,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. How ai you, Buck?

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. What's going on? Andy?

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: You're sounding great? You're looking even better.

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: You know.

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one thing if I may, and a

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: lot of people others will break down ballgames behind this microphone.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Others are going to talk about last night's Dallas Oklahoma

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: City game. The Oklahoma City loses that ballgame one seventeen one, sixteen,

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Dallas advances, Luca goes crazy with a triple double twenty nine, ten, ten,

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: And that's fine. You know, do what you gotta do

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: behind the microphone. I am going to use this platform

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: right now to be somewhat of the voice of the fan.

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: I think the fans right now, they're paying schleps like myself,

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: need to have a representation. And I know you're gonna

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: disagree with me. You're gonna go one way. I'm gonna

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: go to the other. But if that's okay with you,

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: I asked your permission because we need to have a

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: voice for the fan. And I'm going to invite the

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: fans after I start making my spiel here, invite the

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: fans to give us a holler and see if they

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: agree if they follow me at eight seven, seven ninety

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: three sixty nine. Are you ready, Bucky Brooks? Are you

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: ready for me to go a little crazy to represent

36
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: the fans of America?

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm ready. I'm ready.

38
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, all right, now here, here's my

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: spiel right now. You know as good as anybody else,

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, that NFL, the National Football League, is king

41
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: and they're making the common man, the common schlep, the

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: common fan. Why do I say that a family of

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: four that wants to attend an NFL game gotta cost

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: you at least four bills, at least four hundred dollars

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: plus concession prices and parking. Now they have added these

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: streaming platforms. That's making me go crazy. It is not

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: fair to the common fan. This, in my mind, is

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: a monopoly, and I like to see the government get involved.

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I really would. The government has started in the state

50
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: of Ohio letting or trying the pass legislation for sports

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: bar to broadcast games for free. How do you like that?

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: But I got these costs over here. I want to

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: run this by you right now. If in fact you're

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: a fan of the National Football League and you want

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: to watch games, it's gonna cost you for ESPN plus

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: ten ninety nine a month for Peacock, five to ninety

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: nine a month for the NFL Sunday ticket, for payments

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twelve dollars and twenty five cents

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: for all the streaming services one hundred and forty five

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty one cents a month. It's an outrage.

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: It stinks. I can't stand it. And if the fans

62
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: of America are with me, let me hear from you.

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Right now, Bucky Brooks, it's all yours.

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Look, I understand why everyone is upset because, like all

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: the streaming services, the amount of money that it costs

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: to broadcast your favorite games has gone through the roof.

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: It has changed certainly dynamic. We have Netflix coming on board,

68
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: We have all these streaming services that are coming on

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: board beyond our traditional linear services. So it's going up.

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: But I will still say this. I think someone did

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: the math, and I think for all of that, it

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: still ends up costing like maybe forty dollars a weekend

73
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: to be able to watch your NFL games. And we

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: have to make a decision if we don't want NFL

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: football to go on a pay per view deal, like,

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: we have to be willing to pay for some of

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: these streaming services. If not, man, it's going to get

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: to the point where it's just like a boxing match

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: or a UFC fight or anything like that. And for

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: so long we've been spoiled because football, the most popular

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: sport in the country, has been given away for free.

82
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: And now with the escalating cost and all this other

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: stuff has changing, and so I just think fans have

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: to understand it's kind of the cost of doing business now,

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: like you kind of have to pay for your entertainment,

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: just like you pay for anything else when you go

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 2: to the movies and all that, Like that's a part

88
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: of the deal.

89
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: think I'm alone. And I want to hear from the

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: fans of America. I want to hear from them. They

92
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: need representation, and today they will have representation of Fox

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Sports Sunday, and I will say this. You know, Baseball's

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: tried it, you know, but they fall and flat on

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: their face because I don't think anybody really cares to

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: pay for a regular season game. It doesn't make any sense. Really,

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: Why would you shill out some money to see a

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Friday night game in the middle of June, which means nothing.

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: All right, Baseball can't do it because they're the popularity

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. I get it. I get

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: it why they're doing it. It's a business model, and

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: there's additional revenue. It's a revenue stream. And I also

103
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: get it the fact that Roger Goodell works at the

104
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: bequest of the owners of the National Football League. All Right,

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: he's making it very happy because he found another revenue

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: stream at the expense of you and me, and I

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: don't like it. How's that?

108
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean, that's fine, but like we can't keep operating

109
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: under yesterday's model when everything was free and everything operating

110
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: on the three big channels ABC, NBC, and CBS. It's

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: a different time now, and you just have to get

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: used to paying for that the choice that you have,

113
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: because with all of these things, you have choices. You

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: don't have to watch. You don't have to watch like.

115
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: I do have to watch. You have to watch, I

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: do have to watch.

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, then if you're gonna watch, you're gonna have to pay.

118
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: Like that's just what it is. I mean, that's just

119
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: where we are right now. When it comes to your entertainment,

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: you have to pay to be entertained. And football is

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: a level of entertainment and you have to be willing

122
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: to sholl out some dollars to make to make sure

123
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: you're able to watch it.

124
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: The sad thing is I would pray that when they

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: do this that people may be with someonet boycott and

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: maybe the revenue stream will not be as big as

127
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: they expect it to be. But that's not gonna happen.

128
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: People are gonna pay, they'll pay through the news. They

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: love the National Football League, and to me, it's still

130
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: cheaper and more convenient to pay and sit on your couch.

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: They get in your car and drive and fight the

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: crowds in the parking I mean parking. Right now, you

133
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: go to a Giants game, the New York Football Giants

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: is almost two hundred dollars to park your car. Two

135
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: hundred dollars to park a car. The National Football League

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: right now costs more money to watch than going to

137
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: a Broadway show. Think about that. It's crazy.

138
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: I mean it might be crazy, but I mean it's

139
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: the most popular sport in the country. People line up

140
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: no matter what day in the NFL game is broadcast.

141
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: It always is one of the top rated shows live entertainment.

142
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: It dominates the ratings at the end of the year.

143
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: We can complain about it. We could talk about the

144
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: escalating costs, but what also happens is you talked about

145
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: going to watch it in person. Two hundred dollars the park,

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: whatever you want to pay for the tickets, entertainment, concessions

147
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: and all that. The biggest deal is still being able

148
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: to go watch a game at a bar or watch

149
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: it at home and do those things, so you just

150
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: have to make a decision. You can't have it your way.

151
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: You're not going to have everything for free in this

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: marketplace as just the way that it operates, like in

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: a capitalistic society. Like that's how it is. Owners are

154
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: making a ton of money because they know that people

155
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: are willing to pay whatever it takes to to watch

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: their football.

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: You sound too intelligent for me. You sound too and

158
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you're making a great case, and I can't argue with you.

159
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: I know what it's all about. But I will tell

160
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: you this. I don't live in the state of Ohio,

161
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty darn close to it. I live in

162
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Kentucky and the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, but I will

163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: cross that bridge of the Ohio River and go to

164
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: the taverns in Ohio should this legislation pass, where they

165
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: will get these games on TV for free in the

166
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: bars and taverns in the Great Buckeye State. That's what

167
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: they're working on right now. Because I think it hurts business.

168
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: It would really help business if, in fact, I could

169
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: get this thing passed, because I'd rather sit and have

170
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: a cold cocktail watching a game at a bar then

171
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: go pay for parking and push the crowds. Every time

172
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: I go to a game, if I'm not sitting in

173
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: the press box, I sit in the stands. Everybody stands.

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I can't watch a game when everybody's standing. What's the

175
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: point of standing at a game? When you when you

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: purchase a seat, I don't get it. That's what they do.

177
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: They stay the entire time and you can't see. That's

178
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: why if I do go, I get a press pass.

179
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, okay, So okay, So you don't want

180
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: to pay money to go to the game in person,

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: but you also don't want to pay for the right

182
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: to stream the game in your house. But you can

183
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: go to a bar and probably spend more money than

184
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: you would pay at your house to watch the game.

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: Like make it make sense, Like like what are we

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: talking about? Like what are we talking about? What we

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: want everything to be for free? You have to pay

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: for the beer. You have to pay for the food

189
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: at the bar, A nurse.

190
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: Of beer for a quarter.

191
00:08:59,520 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: I could do that.

192
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: I could do that, get a sandwich, get a beer.

193
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: That's what I'll do. And I'll probably end up meeting

194
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: somebody and they say, hey, let me, let me buy

195
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: a cocktail. You know, that's the way it works that way.

196
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: But look, I'd rather do that than have the satisfaction

197
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: of getting it free than having to get that thing

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: paid for. I don't know. Am I alone? I mean,

199
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: you know you're making so much sense. I get it.

200
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: I understand why the revenue stream is important. The ownership

201
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: wants that's what it is. It's business. It's a way

202
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: to make money. Every business wants to make money. That's

203
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: what they do. And the National Football League is a business.

204
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: That's a tremendous business. But I started this spiel by saying,

205
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: the fans of America be with me. Let me hear

206
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: from you. Give me a phone call. If I'm crazy,

207
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: I can handle it. Tell me I'm crazy. If you're

208
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: with me, to tell me maybe maybe we can start

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: a petition, maybe you could do something to boycott this.

210
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, but tell me eight seven seven ninety

211
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. And I've never begged before, but eight

212
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine, because

213
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: I want to know if I'm alone, and if I am,

214
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: I'll Apollo is okay, fine, that's the end of it.

215
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: And when the season starts, I'll be the first to pay.

216
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: I will.

217
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: That's it.

218
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, maybe everybody's sleeping. I don't know. I

219
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: know it's an early, early part of the day on

220
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: a Sunday. But still in all I think the National

221
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: Football League is a big deal to a lot of people.

222
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: And look, a lot of people can't wait for the

223
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: season to start. It's something like like eighty five days away,

224
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: and I can't wait for it to start. To me,

225
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: there's only one season in sports, and that's the National

226
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Football League. They had this schedule revealed the other day,

227
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: going against the NBA playoffs. I didn't see the ratings.

228
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that NFL schedule revealed killed the ratings

229
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: for the NBA playoffs. It did. That's people. And look

230
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: to think, when you think about it, most of the

231
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: people who were NFL fans, even in non NFL cities,

232
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: and they root for a certain team, they know what

233
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: that team is gonna be, who they're gonna play in

234
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: the division, right, it is just a question of like

235
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: the non divisional games and will they be home or away?

236
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: But they still or not to watch the schedule reveal.

237
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: It's crazy, isn't it. Any other sport would try that

238
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: Nobody would watch baseball reveal Are you kidding? Hockey? NBA?

239
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: No one cares. It's all about football, That's what it is.

240
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: It's all about football.

241
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: But it is because it tells you to the popularity sport.

242
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: Those other teams, I mean, those other leagues they broadcast

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: their draft, they don't get the same kind of traction

244
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: when it comes to ratings. So I mean, it just

245
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: tells you. It tells you there's an insatuable appetite to

246
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: consume football in any form, whether it's college at the highlights, yeah,

247
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: whether it's looking at the highlights that you have an

248
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: opportunity to do when you watch the draft or schedule

249
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: lease shows when you see the highlights, but talk about

250
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: and predict where your favorite team is going to end

251
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: up at the end of the season, all those things.

252
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: It is about consuming the number one sport in the land,

253
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: which is football. And because of that, and because of

254
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: the ratings and all those other things that justify why

255
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: the owners charge more to the fans. Why wouldn't you like,

256
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: that's business like supply and demand and demand is so

257
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: high that you can continue to give them supply and

258
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: charge them at a premium.

259
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Don't you think they're pushing the envelope to some extent

260
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: because I think less there's always been more, and that's

261
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: the keith in the National Football League, which every game

262
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: means so much. You know, they're going to play eighteen

263
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: games and this coming season we'll get into this later on.

264
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Today they're playing I think every day of the week

265
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: except Tuesday, which is unbelievable really. I mean sometimes you

266
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: got to pull back just a little bit. It's the

267
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: tease factor and if you give me too much, you know,

268
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: and may rooin it. I mean, eighteen games, I think

269
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: that's the limit. And especially for the players Association, I

270
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: don't think they want to play more than eighteen for

271
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the sake of injury factor.

272
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: Nah, they may not want to play more, but they

273
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: are in an agreement that has been collectively bargained with

274
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: the owners, and the owners have certain concessions that they

275
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: make given those extra games. And what they come down

276
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: to is in the National Football League and the ownership

277
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: they are, I mean in the players are in an

278
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: agreement that is like fifty to fifty pretty much. So

279
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: the more that they make, the more it goes to

280
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: the players. And as long as more mornings going to

281
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: the players. Players are always going to sign up for

282
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: those deals. We can talk about health and safety and

283
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: all those other things. Owners can hide behind that and

284
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: say that stuff, but it's still it's about the money.

285
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: And as long as we're talking about significant money, they're

286
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: always going to do it. They'll complain about it, but

287
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: it'll go because remember, you're placing a preseason game with

288
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 2: a regular season game. For all the stuff that you

289
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: said that you hate about paying for a game and

290
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: going to it, imagine paying for it and not being

291
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: able to see your stars. Imagine paying the money that

292
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: you pay paying for parking concessions, standing up all this

293
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: and you're watching players who aren't going to be NFL players.

294
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: That's the difference. So they're trying to give you another

295
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: opportunity to see your favorite players, your stars, the guys

296
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: that you know, the household names. But you gotta play

297
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: a premium and most fans paying premium.

298
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I will say this and maybe on way off base,

299
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: I go to a baseball game, I see a guy

300
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: make an arrow. They make a boot there through his

301
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: legs or or striking out whatever. I hear people in

302
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: the stands, oh, that bommy he's making. So much money.

303
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: I never hear that. I never hear that that pulled back.

304
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: In football, guy drops a pass. I never said, ah,

305
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: he's getting paid that much money. It's it's a different animal,

306
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: and it's a different kind of fan. Maybe I don't

307
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: know what it is. But in baseball, you go to

308
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: a baseball game, a guy screws up the picture, you

309
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: know that comes in from the bullpen and gives up

310
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: a home run. Oh, they're paying him so much money.

311
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: You can't. You never hear that in football, Buck, you

312
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: really don't. I mean, it's just a different breed of fan.

313
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is.

314
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you hear some of that stuff.

315
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: I think maybe now listening closely, I think I've heard

316
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: plenty of it. When you go to games or whatever,

317
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: you hear fans complain about it. You tie their performance

318
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: to how much money they make. Let's just think about

319
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: like some of the money that you know has been

320
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: shut out to quarterbacks and how they complain about it.

321
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: People that were up at arms about Jerry Goff and

322
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: Jerry Goff getting a contract that pays them fifty three

323
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: million annually, the same people are going to be upset

324
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: when Dak Prescott sounds a deal. They puts him at

325
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: the sixty million year mark per year. That people complain

326
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: about those things, they still associate your performance with your compensation.

327
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: Maybe you just don't hear it because they're far more

328
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: football fans at games than baseball fans.

329
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what. The fans of America, the

330
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: schleps like myself are speaking out. We're going to get

00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: to them. Mike and Vegas, Jared in South Dakota, Robin

00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. He's Bucky Brooks on Ay Furvor. This

360
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox Sports Already. I went

361
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: on a little rant the first segment about the pay

362
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: perview situational streaming streams there for the services will be

363
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: like almost one hundred and fifty bucks a month, and

364
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it. Okay, I'm going to do it.

365
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: I'll grip my teeth because I love the National Football League.

366
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I love football, but I want to hear what the

367
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: people have to say it because I, Bucky Brooks, want

368
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: to be the voice of the fan today, the voice

369
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: of the common Schlap like myself have. I've got to

370
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Mike and Vegas. You're on what Bucky Brooks

371
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: and Andy Furman? How you doing?

372
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 4: I'm doing great? How about you guys? Hang beautiful, beautiful

373
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: day here in Las Vegas. And I've been trying to

374
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: organize fans as both an on air host and as

375
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 4: someone who's on the web with a site that is

376
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 4: no longer active, but it had a catching name, NAFRIUS

377
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 4: National Association for Fans Rights in All Sports. And I

378
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 4: had that epiphany when my Staples Center cable went from

379
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: five thousand a year to one hundred and fifty thousand

380
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: a year, and that was around two one hundred. That

381
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: was around two fifteen. But I saw it across the country,

382
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 4: whether it was regional baseball getting blacked out other places,

383
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 4: going to Dodger Stadium, and the prices would escalate per ale,

384
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 4: per picture, per day of the week. And I heard complaints.

385
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: For opponents right for po opponent as well. You know,

386
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: with certain teams. I went with the Colorado Rockies, we're

387
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: playing the Yankees, the price of tickets went up. Of

388
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: course the Yankees were in town.

389
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: That's what they're doing too, precisely. And this streaming vs.

390
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 4: With Peacock and now Netflix, you might be able to

391
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 4: catch some old heads like me that know how to

392
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: do it, but you're going to eliminate a lot of people,

393
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: and you're going to piss the hell out of the rest.

394
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: And one day, you know, the saying goes, the pig

395
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 4: gets fat and the hog gets slotted, and that might

396
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: seem impops for the NFL, but one day it will happen.

397
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 4: But like I said, it is easier to put a

398
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: leash on a cat and welco them than it is

399
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: to organize fans hopefully hopefully, And Bucky, your points are

400
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: well taken about costs capitalism, but there has to be

401
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: a balance where, you know, the family of four doesn't

402
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: make a choice. Shall we defer Christmas presents or go

403
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: see like the crappitiest visiting team coming in uh and.

404
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: Pay one hundred dollars for parking?

405
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 4: Bucky, one hundred dollars for parking. I mean you know that, Bucky,

406
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 4: I mean greed has just run a mock profit is fair? Guys.

407
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 4: Profit is fair, but gouging is not.

408
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike, Mike, thanks for the call. It's going

409
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: to San Diego, Robert. You're in San Diego with Bucket

410
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: Brooks and Andy Furman. How you doing, Robert, I'm doing great.

411
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: Guys.

412
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, fuck you.

413
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 6: I think you're wrong.

414
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

415
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 6: I paid for the YouTube before it was direct TV

416
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 6: to get the package. Then you tell me, okay, I

417
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: gotta get Peacock. No one watches Peacock.

418
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to watch football, you will.

419
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't.

420
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 6: I didn't last year. I'm a Dolphins fan.

421
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 4: I skipped on that chief.

422
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: But why why is Bucky wrong? I mean he makes

423
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: a great point because his business and if you are

424
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: working in the National Football as an executive, you'd feel

425
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: pretty good about this whole program, knowing that, Hey, the

426
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: fans are basically sheep. They love the game. Let's gouge him,

427
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's getting their wallets. They're gonna pay, They're

428
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: gonna pay to watch us. So he's not wrong. I

429
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: don't like the whole system. I don't like what's happening.

430
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: But he's not wrong.

431
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: He's not wrong.

432
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: But but the gouging just continues. I mean, look, if

433
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 6: I pay to watch my team for the entire season,

434
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 6: then why do I have to pick up additional costs

435
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 6: to watch them because they put them on a different channel.

436
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 6: I've already made that investment.

437
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I couldn't look, I'm with you one

438
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: thousand percent. But that's just the way it is because

439
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: they know you will pay because you love your team.

440
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Joe Joe in Atlanta, you're on

441
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: what Bucky Brooks and Andy from it? Hello Joey, what's up?

442
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: Hey Bucky, you're arrogance brother.

443
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: How about the sport boxing?

444
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: Boxing? How much boxing do you watch now? Bucky? No

445
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: one watches boxing because they went to an all pay

446
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 4: per view model. There you go, brother, it's just going

447
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: to take time.

448
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: Well, I would say the difference is, like I don't

449
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: think anyone knows who the boxes are. You know what

450
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, I think I think we talk about

451
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: the talent, like, I don't think it's the same as

452
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: the go to eeror But I will say everyone has choices.

453
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 2: I just know that the bottom line is when you

454
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: look at the rankings, when you look at the ratings,

455
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: the ratings suggests that this is about are the most

456
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 2: popular sport. Football is more popular than any other sport

457
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: that we have in the country. The fact that you

458
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: can have the NFL draft that can outrate two NBA

459
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 2: playoff games and anything else that's going on tells you

460
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 2: that this fan base is rapid about the sport. And

461
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: so if we're talking about business and we're talking about

462
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 2: capitalism and the owners are in it for business, they're

463
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: going to continue to do it and then consumers just

464
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: have to make a choice. But I don't believe that

465
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: there are enough consumers that are willing to turn off

466
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: the TV and not pay the cost of admission to

467
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: make the National Football League change. If it gets to

468
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: that point, then they will change. But there's no signs

469
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: of the sport slowing down when it comes to the

470
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: money that they're making.

471
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,639

473

Speaker 1: be like everybody else. I'll grip my teeth and I'll

474
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: pay for the deal because I want to watch the games.

Speaker 5: White sot six to one.

527
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, thanks you and awa keay, okay,

528
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: let's talk about diversity of speech for a second. That's

529
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Firmer. We

530
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: are Fox Sports, so on the and Fox Sports already,

531
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: and of course we have asked Bucky in about seven

532
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: eight minutes for now. And I think the big story

533
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: I guess off the football field this week was Harrison Bucker,

534
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs kicker on the commencement speech at

535
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: Benedictine College. For those not familiar Benedictine College, I looked

536
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: it up as an academic community sponsored by the monks

537
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: of Saint Benedict's Abbey and the Scissors a Mount Saint

538
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Schlistia monastery. It's in Kansas, it's committed to the beliefs

539
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: and natural principles that formed the framework of Judeo Christian tradition,

540
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: and it's a Roman Catholic situation. So Harrison was there

541
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: to speak for graduation, and honestly, now the National Football

542
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: League Buck is distancing himself from what he had said.

543
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: And what did he say. He basically said that the

544
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: women who have been well basically a better of being mothers,

545
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: I guess than having careers. I mean, it just I

546
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know. He praised his wife, saying that she'd be

547
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: the first to say her life truly started when she

548
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother,

549
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: and people weren't crazy. They started freaking out. I don't

550
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: get it helped me out here because I don't think

551
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Look if I say it's not that bid, they'll kill me.

552
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: But I'm saying it's not that bid, because what about

553
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: diversity of speech. He's free to say whatever he wants

554
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: to say. I want to agree with him, that's fine.

555
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: But now they're having these tweets coming out and letters

556
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: written that they want to cut from the Kansas City chiefs.

557
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: The world's going crazy. I don't get it.

558
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: You're free from You're free to say whatever it is

559
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: you want to say, but it doesn't make you free

560
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 2: from consequence based on what you said, right, and so like,

561
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: he is free to say whatever he wants to say

562
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: and whatever his beliefs are in those things, but he's

563
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: also free to receive the backlash that comes with saying

564
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 2: whatever that he says. Anyone who speaks of anyone who

565
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: says anything like your issue, well within your right to

566
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: say it, but you also have to be willing to

567
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: deal with the consequences that come with that. And you know,

568
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: Harrison Buka decided that he has certain views on certain things,

569
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: not only on women in the workplace, but he talked

570
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: about other things. That was he said with a face

571
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: based viewpoint or argument. But some who don't see the

572
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: world in his view to confess to it, and they

573
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: also have the freedom of speech to come after him

574
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 2: and disagree. And so it's one of those things that

575
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: if you do decide to talk, you also have to

576
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: deal with what comes back. And so if you're going

577
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: to be one of those guys who is active and

578
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: has decided to take a view of activism based on

579
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 2: a certain viewpoint, well yeah, you're gonna get the other

580
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: side of the argument.

581
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: You know what, I hear what you're saying. We could

582
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: agree to disagree, but we don't have to be disagreeable.

583
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: That's the key. And these people right now are going

584
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: above and beyond what's out. Even the National Football they

585
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: issued a statement that they're divorcing themselves with what he

586
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: had to say. The Kansas City chief said that a

587
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: press re at least the other day saying it's not

588
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the views of the Kansas City chiefs. You know, we

589
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: know that it's Harrison's views.

590
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: Nothing not the Kansas City chief. But but what happens

591
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: is Harrison was brought on to speak not because he

592
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: was just Harrison Buker, the civilian, but because he also

593
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: is Harrison Buker, the guy who is the kicker of

594
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: the back to back world champions and all that other stuff.

595
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: And it is no different that whenever you wear and

596
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: you represent the brand, all of those opinions that come out,

597
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: they have to make sure. A. You have to understand

598
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: that you stand on this island alone. You don't represent

599
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: all those other things. And what he's getting is look,

600
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: I would say this like, when he decided to voice

601
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: his opinion, he put himself in the crossairs, much like

602
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: Colin Kaepernick put himself in the crossairs when he not

603
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: only kneil, but when he said whatever he said about

604
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: the flag and all those other things. People from different

605
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: viewpoints took Colin Kaepernick to task based on his opinion.

606
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: And so if you're going to expose your opinion, if

607
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: you're going to talk about it, then you also have

608
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: to take the other stuff that comes with it.

609
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know what your thoughts when

610
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: you heard about it and you heard the backlash. Did

611
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: you think he was being treated fairly?

612
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: Nah?

613
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't think he was being treated unfairly.

614
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: I felt like he offended plenty of people based on

615
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: on his viewpoint. Now I don't share the same viewpoint

616
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: that he does, I'm not as vocal, But when he

617
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: put himself out there and said, these are the things

618
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: that I believe in this and that. Like that's fine,

619
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: but everyone doesn't share your belief and so those people

620
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: who don't share those same sentiments have a right to

621
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: voice their opinion on that. And that's just where we

622
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 2: are right now. Like people talk about councel culture and

623
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: those things. Hey man, when you decide to step to

624
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: the mic and utter whatever it is that you utter,

625
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: you're responsible for that. And so you have to understand

626
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: that it comes great responsibility with deciding to stand up

627
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: and share the world your viewpoint on the world and

628
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: politics and faith and all that other stuff. Like that's

629
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: great that you feel that way, but everyone may not

630
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: share the shame the same sentiment, and so you have

631
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: to be able to hear the reply and the response

632
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: and all the other stuff there comes with consequences with

633
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: speaking up.

634
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: I would promise you this. If I was invited to

635
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: speak at a Benedictine college at the graduation and I

636
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: was a keynote speaker and I said the same things

637
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: he did, I'd be fired from Fox Sports Radio. Who

638
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: became I be canceled? Don't you agree the fact that

639
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: he's playing in the National Football League? I think they

640
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 1: give him a bit of a pass. They got some

641
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: power over there. But he said something to the effect

642
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: that how many of you, to the graduates right now,

643
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: how many of you are sitting out there about the

644
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: cross this stage, and I'm thinking about all the promotions

645
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: and titles you're going to get in your career. Some

646
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: of you may go on to lead successful careers in

647
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: the world. But I would venture to guess he said

648
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: that the majority of you are most excited about your

649
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: marriage and the children that you'll bring in this world.

650
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I hear that. I'm saying to myself, Yeah,

651
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: there's a possibility someone will very well be excited to

652
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: do that. Someone will out there be lawyers and doctors

653
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: and professors, and they'll be excited about doing that. But

654
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: the point is that he said these things, and again

655
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I go back to the diversity of speech. You're right,

656
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: he's going to get consequences for what he has to say. Hey, look,

657
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: to some extent, on a very smaller scale, you and

658
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: I get consequences. We just had a couple of fun

659
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: uncles and people felt that you were arrogant. You know,

660
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: when we're talking about this situation with pay per view,

661
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, we could say what we want to say

662
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: and people could agree to disagree, but again not be disagreeable.

663
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: The backlash that he got to me, I couldn't believe.

664
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that the backlash that got and I

665
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: don't get it. And the National Football League, you would

666
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: think they'd come to his aid, but I understand also

667
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: the National Football League is trying to woo female fans,

668
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: and the fact that he kind of slapped them across

669
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: the face with some of the things he said, they're

670
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: going to defend those female fans and the female possible

671
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: fan days.

672
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's not only that. I mean, some would say

673
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: that his viewpoint in the comments that he uttered not

674
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: only offended women, but it offended the LGBTQ big community.

675
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: They were talking about all of the other stuff. So

676
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: it's not just like, oh, he said, hey, women should

677
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: like forego working in the work force to take care

678
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: of kids at home. That's one thing. But some people

679
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: viewed his comments as homophobic, misogynistic, whatever you want to say,

680
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: Like that's their viewpoint, and those people also have a

681
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: right to I guess rebut issue of rebuttal of Harrison's comments,

682
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: and that's the thing when you step out there, like

683
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of responsibility to step into the mic,

684
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: and he has to be willing to stand in there

685
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: and take it. That's part of it. He'll have maybe

686
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: his share of supporters that support him and his viewpoints.

687
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: The other side of the argument or the debate will

688
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: be loud and saying no, no, no, no, that is not right,

689
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: like what he says isn't quote unquote the gospel. We

690
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: have to be able to have that debate and those discussions.

691
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: And he has to also understand when he said that,

692
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: he exposed himself to be attacked by the other side.

693
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be attacked, did you.

694
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he made that speech he felt pretty

695
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: good about himself, and he probably did.

696
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: And he may be able to live in that like

697
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: he feels like if he feels like that's his truth,

698
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: like that's fine, but that doesn't mean that everybody else's

699
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: version of the truth. And people are quick to tell them, no,

700
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: I don't see that. I don't agree with that. I

701
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: don't say that, And he has to be willing to

702
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: suffer the consequences. The issue that people are making about

703
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: the National Football League is the National Football League is

704
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: open to a wide array of people, and at a

705
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: time where it appears that we don't like diversity. We

706
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: talk about diversity of thought or diversity when it comes

707
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: to gender embrace and all this other stuff. Like they're

708
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: trying to appeal to the masses, and if someone who

709
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 2: represents your brand appears to attack or demean a certain

710
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: part of the fan base, they don't want that because

711
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: those people buy tickets too, and they as a company

712
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: are trying to make a business decision which represents the

713
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: greater good for them on the bottom line. Why he

714
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: has to have That's why he's dealing with some of

715
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: the distancing that he's seeing from the National Football League,

716
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: because they don't want to be associated with that if

717
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: it affects their business, their business model and the bottom line.

718
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: It's funny because you have diversity in everything except diversity

719
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: in speech, especially when the speech may hurt their business.

720
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: And he took a good shot at the LGBTQ community

721
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: when he said that he encouraged the graduates there of

722
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: Benedictate to have Catholic pride, but quote not the deadly

723
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated

724
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: to it. So again, to me, I mean.

725
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: That's a lot when you have you have a brand

726
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: that celebrates that, you know, a brand that is trying

727
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 2: to be opening and willing and inclusive that like that's

728
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: offensive to people that are in the community that the

729
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: National Football League is trying to include, you know. And

730
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 2: and so he decided to step out there and put

731
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: his opinion out there. Absolutely, he's going to get the backlash, right, and.

732
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: He certainly did. That's for sure. See what happens. I

733
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to go away soon. I really don't.

734
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: All right, we want.

735
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely won't go away because every time he

736
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: steps into the locker room, there's over a reporter that

737
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 2: season and brings it up. But he made a constant

738
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: decision to take that stand, and with that comes all

739
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: this other stuff he must, like I said with Colin Kaepernick,

740
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 2: when you make stands, yeah, you have to be willing

741
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: to deal with the stuff that comes with that, particularly

742
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: when you're associated and partner it up with a huge

743
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: brand like the National Football League.

744
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: Right and the president of a college right now is

745
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: banging is heading as to Will saying why did I

746
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: invite him to speak and I'm sure he won't get

747
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: any more invitations to speak at college commencements, that's for sure,

748
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: all right, Bucky Brooks Andy Furman, Fox Sports on the

754
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: right up, that's Bucket Brooks. I'm Andy Furman wal Fox Sports,

755
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: Sony and Fox Spot's ready and we'll live from the

756
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: Ti Rock dot Com studio. Let's get it going, all right.

757
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: First question for ask Bucky Brooks. Bucky, how important is

758
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: it for the NCUBA to keep their athletes as amateurs

759
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: not getting paid?

760
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's important for them for their business model. They've

761
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: been able to do it for years and years on

762
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: end where they've been able to cash in. The profit

763
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: goes to the university's the team, the administrator, to the coaches,

764
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 2: not to the players. And as long as they able

765
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: to do that like they can function because the entire

766
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: budget model has been built off of that. When you

767
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: start paying the players based on them being employees. It

768
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: changes everything. It changes the money equation, and it changes

769
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 2: how they have to do business.

770
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: Part two to that question, why would they even care?

771
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: These kids? You know, they really deserve to get paid

772
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: for the time they put in and for the exposure

773
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: they get for the university. They increase in role, they

774
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: increased merchandise sales, and they get on TV to sell

775
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: the school. I don't know why they would care.

776
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: Everybody cares about that because no one wants to see

777
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: the players get paid because it's not the model that

778
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: they grew up in. We've been conditioned to think that

779
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: it's an amateur model and that the players should be

780
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: happy with the education that's associated with them playing the game.

781
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 2: And it's not that all right.

782
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: Next, how surprised are you that the Detroit Lions he

783
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: had quarterback Jared got four years, two hund to twelve mil,

784
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: making him the second highest paid quarterback.

785
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised at all. He's played really, really well.

786
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: He ras in the top four and a bunch of

787
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: different categories as a passer since he arrived in Detroit.

788
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: Since twenty twenty two, passing yards, passing, touchdowns, touchdown, the

789
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 2: interception ratio, He's in the top four of all NFL quarterbacks.

790
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: He's a good quarterback, and for whatever reason, people may

791
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: not like him. But when you're a former number one

792
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: overall pick you've done what he's done and bringing Detroit back,

793
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: you're going to get paid.

794
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: All right. The Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Denver Nuggets

795
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: in Game seven Monday night to advance out of the West.

796
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets obviously the defending NBA champions. Is this a

797
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: shaker to you that Minnesota is taken into seven?

798
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: No, Anyone who watched the Minnesota Timberwoods all year, you

799
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: understand and appreciate and respect the game that Aunt Edwards have,

800
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: and I think you also appreciate what Chris Finch has

801
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: done with their defense and the players that they have.

802
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: It's a really good team, and the Nuggets had not

803
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: played their best the entire series, but the timber Woods

804
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: have challenged him in Game seven is going to be

805
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: a very very interesting affair.

806
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Heah, you're right about that. Okay. Your biggest surprise to

807
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: you in the NFL schedule reveal, I.

808
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 2: Just think maybe Netflix getting the Christmas games and the

809
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 2: Christmas games being played on a Wednesday as opposed to

810
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: a Thursday, if Ida or Saturday. We just haven't seen that,

811
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: so it's just different to think about someone playing in

812
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: the middle of the week.

813
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: Right, you're right about that, but not least. Could you

814
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: name perhaps the rookie quarterbacks that you believe will start

815
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: on opening day of the NFL season.

816
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's two for sure, and that would

817
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 2: be Jayden Daniels and Kayleb Williams. Bow Knicks is I

818
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 2: would say highly likely to start. The rest of the

819
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: guys I would anticipate coming off the bench and maybe

820
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: getting their opportunity in the middle of the year.

821
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Right, and which team Which of those quarterbacks you think

822
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: of the most success.

823
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: Of the ones that are starting. Yeah, I would say

824
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 2: probably either Kayla Williams or Jaden Daniels. Both of them

825
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: said up really well to succeed.

826
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: Love to hear that. Okay, we move on right now.

Speaker 1: But this is my this is my workout really actually no,

845
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: not really, but it is somewhat of work, you know.

846
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: I want to touch on this before we get into

847
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League and the schedule reveal. Tom Brady

848
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: came out this week on a podcast saying he regrets

849
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: how some of the jokes on the Netflix show Is

850
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Roast affected his children. And I read this and I

851
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: said to myself, he's an intelligent guy. I'm a fan

852
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. I can't wait to see him on

853
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: the broadcast on Fox. Didn't he know what he was

854
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: getting into? And look, they did take some cheap shots.

855
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: And we talked about this last week that it was

856
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of off course. I thought it was. You know,

857
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody laughs at the F bomb.

858
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't find it funny. I'm not a prude, but

859
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't find that the humorous. I mean everybody found

860
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: it funny. I mean, that's just the way it was.

861
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart just keeps saying few every two minutes to

862
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and everybody laughed. I mean, I don't know why,

863
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: but they did. But now we say he's taking issues

864
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: with some of the jokes and hitting below the belt

865
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: with his divorce and Giselle and things like that, and

866
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: his kids. He was upset about his children, you know,

867
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: hearing this and maybe even seeing it. But you know,

868
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: I read it. I said, what did he expect to

869
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: praise him? That's what a roast is. I mean, I

870
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: thought it was a little below the belt. But you know,

871
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: for him to come out and say that, let it go,

872
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: it happened. I don't think anybody else would really want

873
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: to have a roast with those people. And more than that,

874
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure they paid good money for it, but I

875
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: hadn't heard. Maybe you did. Did this roast benefit some

876
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: sort of a charity. I don't think it did. I

877
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything like that.

878
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I just know it was Tom

879
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 2: Brady's roast was on Netflix. It was a big deal.

880
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: It still ranks is one of the top shows on

881
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: Netflix currently in rotation. Maybe he didn't understand what a

882
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: roast is, and you know, yeah, he just didn't understand

883
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: what it was doing. And I think sometimes when you're

884
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, maybe you forget how those things may impact

885
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 2: your kids. And it's unfortunately that his kids obviously had

886
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: to hear some of that stuff, particularly about their mom,

887
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 2: his ex and some of the jokes and the stuff

888
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: that was insinuated, the innuendo that was kind of levied

889
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: at her. That's a lot to deal with because at

890
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: the end of the day, regardless of the relationship of

891
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: the parents in terms of whether they're married or not married,

892
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: you still want the respect there for the mother. And

893
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: he sees probably the air in his ways after probably

894
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: hearing about it from the kids in terms of what

895
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: they had to deal with at school or on the playground,

896
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: or those things.

897
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. All right, let's leave Tom Brady alone.

898
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: Let's move along now to the NFL and the NFL

899
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: schedule reveal, which the other day, obviously it was the

900
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: number one story in sports this past week. It's Trump,

901
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, we mentioned that and Trump basically obviously

902
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: the daily baseball stories. And you know, the question is

903
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: why why? Because the NFL is so popular. You know,

904
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: if Major League Baseball had a schedule reveal, nobody would watch.

905
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: They just look out the back window and close the curtains.

906
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: They really would. It's just the way it is. And

907
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe we could say who the winners were. In fact,

908
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: if there were winners in the schedule, I think there were.

909
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: Don't you think there were some winners? I picked them

910
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: out here and I want to discuss them with you.

911
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: Do you think there were winners in the schedule reveal?

912
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: I think there were.

913
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's like speculation because we're basing

914
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: everything off last year. But guess what, every team is different.

915
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 2: Teams don't come back the same. You have players going out,

916
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 2: players coming in, coaches going out, coaches coming in. It's

917
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: just different. I think it's nice during this time of

918
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: year when everyone is looking for the hype buddy, the

919
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: team that's going to be the next great team. I

920
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: just think in reality, it's really hard to look at

921
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: the schedule and say, oh, this team is going to

922
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: be thirteen and four because of X, Y and Z.

923
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: That's what fans do though, that's what we do, and

924
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: we do that. I think one of the big winners

925
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: in the schedule reveal and the anticipation would be the

926
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. It's going to be one of the most

927
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: anticipating seasons in years for the Bears because of Caleb

928
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: Williams and obviously Romeo Donze the receiver, and it's going

929
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: to be an exciting season. And more than that people

930
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: will forget. I think that the Bears are coming off

931
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: a finish of like five and three down the stretch

932
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: of the last eight games, so I think that's a

933
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. But I looked at the schedule thing,

934
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: and look, I'm a mathematician, but they say, now the

935
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: Bears have the third easiest strength of schedule based on

936
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: their opponent's record of last year, which is a pretty

937
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: good thing. I think the stranger schedule of their opponents

938
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: on like forty six percent, So we'll see what happens.

939
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: I think the Bears right now are in pretty good shape. Plus,

940
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: they're playing Washington against the rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels, and

941
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: they're playing the Patriots, who may have Drake may quarterback

942
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: at that point in time. I think he will be

943
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Patriots, don't you.

944
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I think a lot of

945
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: depends on how well the Jacoby Brissette plays and what

946
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: kind of development does Drake may show, not only in

947
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 2: preseason but doing practices. He'll get every opportunity to be

948
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: the start and unseat Jacoby Brissette. But if it's seeing

949
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: plays better than anticipated, wins more game and anticipated, could

950
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 2: be hard for them to hand of all to Drake Mayor.

951
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: All right, so we like the Chicago Bears, say, but

952
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: consider them maybe perhaps a winner in the schedule reveal. Also,

953
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: I think I got to throw in there the Atlanta Falcons.

954
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Falcons? I would Kirk

955
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: Cousins expected to come come to a team that has

956
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: had records of seven and ten for the last three years,

957
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: So I think there's some excitement there. Obviously, he's coming

958
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: off that Achilles situation. But I understand he went down

959
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: with some of his players to work out the last

960
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 1: couple of days. So I think that he's sort of excited,

961
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: and I think that people in Atlanta are excited as well.

962
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: And plus the Falcons and Saints now they say, according

963
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: to records, you are tied for the easiest strength of

964
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: schedule this coming season based on their opponent's records from

965
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: last year forty five percent winning. So I will see.

966
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: But plus in the NFC South, you know, it's not

967
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: a strength of schedule thing. The NFC South is not

968
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: that big of a deal anyway.

969
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 2: No, it's not a big of a deal. But the

970
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: formula is a big part in who's able to kind

971
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 2: of run out to fast start. So if you play

972
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: a week division and you finished near the bottom of

973
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: the division the year before, you are matched up with

974
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: opponents that, in a formulating thing, are kind of more

975
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: on par with being competitive with you. So if you

976
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: get kind of like the double double the weak division,

977
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: that is, you know, scheduled to play everybody within the

978
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: division and then those obously non competitive teams, well that

979
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 2: puts you at six to eight games right there. That's

980
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 2: that's significant given that we've seen teams with ten to

981
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: seven records going, teams with nine and eight records going,

982
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: the Dads is to ten. Can you get the ten.

983
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: Wins right now? I would say, even though they have

984
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 1: the easiest strength to schedule with the New Orleans Saints,

985
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: they're going to open the season with the Steelers, Eagles

986
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: and Chiefs. That doesn't help things. It really doesn't. And

987
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: you got Michael Pennix and basically waiting in the wings.

988
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: So if Kirk Cousins either is earth or can't get

989
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: it done, I guess they're gonna throw Michael Pennix Junior

990
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 1: to the Wolves.

991
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: No, I think we would have to be it. I

992
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 2: think it would have to be an injury. You're paying

993
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins the kount of money that you paid them

994
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: to be a starter for the next two years. If

995
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 2: something goes arrived where Michael Pennis Junior gets his chance

996
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: to play and performs, well maybe you'll stick with them.

997
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: But right now, Na, that's not the plans. It's literally

998
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 2: a racier year for Michael Pennis Junior.

999
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, I looked at the schedule and this is

1000
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: something I had never seen. Maybe it has happened before,

1001
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: but I don't remember it. Four of the first five

1002
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: games for the Atlanta Falcons are at home. That's somewhat unusual,

1003
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: don't you think.

1004
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, ideally you don't want all your game at home

1005
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 2: on the front end. You would like to have some

1006
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: of those games on the back end, particularly when you're

1007
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: getting down the stretch and the playoff hunt. Home field

1008
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 2: and management matters, not only just because of the home crowd,

1009
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 2: noise and the things that you can feed off of,

1010
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 2: but in terms of routine, your best routine is always

1011
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 2: going to be when you're playing at home, sleep in

1012
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: your own bed or do whatever it is that you do.

1013
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: Then you know, the last couple of nights before game

1014
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: to get ready. So to me, it makes more sense

1015
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 2: to think about, hey, let's have some of these games

1016
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: at the end of the season as supposed to beginning

1017
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: of the season, so we finish with the bang, right.

1018
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: But it isn't the routine and you talk about it

1019
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: and you played the game, so you know, isn't a

1020
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: routine to a football player Sunday one o'clock Eastern time.

1021
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: Other than that, it kind of throws you off the

1022
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: schedule pretty much, even for coaches in preparation. I would

1023
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: think no.

1024
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: Most people operate on the schedule. Football is very regimented

1025
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: when it comes to the schedule, to practice, plan when

1026
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: we meet all those things at all. It's a huge

1027
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: part of the equation. So coaches been, I mean the

1028
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 2: bulk of their off season putting that together, putting the

1029
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: final touches together so they can give it to the

1030
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 2: coach that the coach that can kind of plan out

1031
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: how they want to attack the two and a half,

1032
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: how they want to attack the practice, playing schedule and

1033
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: all this other stuff. So now it matters. Organization matters,

1034
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: and you got to have it to be able to win.

1035
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys. They may

1036
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: call them America's team, and basically they are America's team

1037
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: because they're tied with the forty nine Ers and Jets

1038
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: with the league high six primetime games. They're scheduled to

1039
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: face the Giants, Steelers, the forty nine Ers, the Texans,

1040
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and the Tampa Bay Bucks at night, which

1041
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: is a pretty big deal for them and that team.

1042
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: Right now, there's some questions right now because there's a

1043
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: lot of heat on Mike McCarthy going into the season. Why,

1044
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess because you know, their owner

1045
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: wants to have a Super Bowl before he kind of

1046
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: packs it in, if you know what I mean. They

1047
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 1: want to see that Super Bowl. And the America's team

1048
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: right now has not been there for like some twenty

1049
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: five years. So again there's some talk if McCarthy should fail,

1050
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's winning in the wings. What have you heard

1051
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: about that?

1052
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a that's a viable option, and we've

1053
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 2: seen him do it before in terms of the tree

1054
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: because Bill Parcelles took over for three or four years

1055
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 2: in Dallas to try and steady the ship. Bill Belichick

1056
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: could do the same. Yeah, that's there's a lot of

1057
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 2: pressure on my McCarthy because with Bill Belichick being out

1058
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: there and Bill Belichick being able to offer his opinions

1059
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: on the game of football each and every week as

1060
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: an analyst, Yeah, you're gonna have more perspective, more insight

1061
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: on who he is and what he is, and the

1062
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 2: public is going to, I would say, develop an affinity

1063
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 2: for him because they're gonna start respecting his knowledge. That

1064
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: is going to make it easy for Jerry Jones to

1065
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: slide him in and place McCarthy and him to simply say, hey,

1066
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 2: we wanted someone who has shown and demonstrated the ability

1067
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 2: to go to the big game.

1068
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: Belichick, I mean to interrupt you, but did you talk

1069
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: about this Dallas Cowboys team. I don't know how they pick.

1070
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: I guess they look at market size and interest, and

1071
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: certainly they still called the America's team. But for them

1072
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: to get on TV a league high six prime time games,

1073
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: plus they got five games at the four to twenty

1074
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: five Eastern time shot, it's amazing to me. And they

1075
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: got a Thanksgiving game against the Giants. That's unbelievable what

1076
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys have got. And with the questions they

1077
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: have with Mike McCarthy. Also, they got a quarterback of

1078
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: Dad Prescott, his contractors coming to an end. They got

1079
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and c d Land the receiver. They got

1080
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: questions with their negotiations with their contracts, So a lot

1081
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: of questions the Dallas Cowboys. And for them to be

1082
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: put up there a league high six games and people

1083
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: gonna watch it, you know what I mean. Look, even

1084
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: if you have to pay for it, they're gonna do it.

1085
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: We've gone through that exercise. There's no doubt in my mind,

1086
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: but I was shocked the Dallas would get that many

1087
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: primetime games.

1088
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: Most controversial team in football. People love Mercht them, which

1089
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 2: means that everyone is always going to them because you

1090
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 2: want to see how the media punnits are going to

1091
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 2: react On Mondays following the Cowboys loss, they are always

1092
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 2: going to draw a big number. There still is an

1093
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: expectation that they're gonna be really good because of the

1094
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 2: head coaching, quarterback, and the head coach has performed pretty

1095
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 2: well since last year. So yeah, there's a lot of

1096
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 2: intrigue around the Cowboys and what they could be and

1097
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 2: what they hope to be by seasons in.

1098
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: It's amazing, really And now you got Week fourteen. The buys.

1099
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: In Week fourteen, six teams have the last buy of

1100
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: the season, which is tied with Week twelve for the

1101
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: most buys in one week. The Patriots, the Ravens, Detexans,

1102
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Broncos, and the Commanders look at a

1103
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: chance to rest in early December. Obviously, I'm not going

1104
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: to say it's a go to a bed because they

1105
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: have no choice, but I would think that's a pretty

1106
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: good advantage to have that buy at that point. In time.

1107
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: Most of those teams, I don't think they're going to

1108
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 1: make in the playoffs anyway. I don't see the Broncos, Patriots,

1109
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: or Commanders going to the playoffs, so I don't think

1110
00:53:58,280 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: it's it will affect them that much.

1111
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean to Barbie falls where it falls. You

1112
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 2: just have to plan accordingly and in a perfect world,

1113
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: if I was right in the middle of the season, you

1114
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 2: got time to kind of relax, reset, refocus, didn't get

1115
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 2: back to the basics. If it's later, it becomes harder

1116
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 2: because you've already kind of checked out a little bit.

1117
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: It's the challenge. But that's why the coaches made the

1118
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 2: big bucks to make it happen.

1119
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Now, I'm not a fantasy football player. Do

1120
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: you play fantasy football?

1121
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 4: No?

1122
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: You can, right, but you can because is gambling. Because

1123
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: you associated with Danner.

1124
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: You can't do daily fantasy or whatever. You kind of

1125
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: have all the blurred lines. So I just stay away

1126
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 2: from it.

1127
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stay away. I don't have the time for that.

1128
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: But if you are a fantasy football player, you may

1129
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: want to kind of not stock up on these teams

1130
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: that I just mentioned because you may have a must

1131
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: win in that regular season finale game, and it's going

1132
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: to be a by situation over there. So maybe if

1133
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: you're a fantasy player, I wouldn't stock up on those

1134
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: players at that point in time. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm

1135
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: not a fantasy expert, but I would think that's the

1136
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: way to go. All right, let's talk about the Kansas

1137
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: City Chiefs for a second, two time defending champs. They

1138
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: entered the season with five prime time games. Dallas has

1139
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: more prime time games in Kansas City that I don't

1140
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: get maybe because to the market size, right, because Dallas

1141
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: is a bigger TV market to Kansas City.

1142
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: I can't say it's Marcus. Sometimes it's just the appeal

1143
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 2: of the matchups. You can't get the right matchups in place,

1144
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: either through where they sit in terms of the competitive

1145
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 2: championship formulat or the division that they're faced. They may

1146
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: just not have a good slate of i'll say elite

1147
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: players to kind of come through. So it's just changed

1148
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 2: the deal. Look, they're struggling at wide receiver in those things,

1149
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 2: but normally they'll get the boost because of the Travis

1150
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 2: Kelce Taylor Swift angle, the Pat Mahomes angle. Yeah, you

1151
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: want those teams in Marquee. I mean, it's not like

1152
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 2: you're defending world championship. You have two primetime games. If

1153
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: you have five, you just didn't get the six one.

1154
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: Well, they got five prime time games, so I give

1155
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: them a kind of a check next to their name

1156
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: over there. But I take away that check in a

1157
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: sense because they open the season with two tough ballgames,

1158
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: which I was shocked they got the Ravens and Bengals.

1159
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: That's the bad news. The good news is they're both

1160
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: at home. But I was shocked that the NFL just

1161
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: threw them to the Wolves. But they did it last

1162
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: year when they played Detroit opening night on that Thursday

1163
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 1: and they lost to the Lions. I remember.

1164
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean like, it's gonna be challenging.

1165
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 2: The more you win, the hardest gonna get. So you

1166
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: have to deal with all this stuff. And it's not

1167
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: the first time, it won't be the last time. The

1168
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 2: defending champs have to make a look a run against

1169
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: a very tough slate of opponents.

1170
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: Last but not leads the teams that I guess we

1171
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: could say are somewhat winners in the schedule revealed, believe

1172
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: it or not, The Washington Commanders. Can you believe it?

1173
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. According to a website bookies dot com,

1174
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: which I don't frequent that. I'm just gonna tell you.

1175
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: I happen to see it bookies dot com, they say

1176
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders travel a lead low ten five hundred

1177
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: and fifty miles. All right. Twelve teams in the league

1178
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: are traveling at least twice that many miles on road trips.

1179
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: So I guess that's a positive. We don't have to

1180
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: travel that much. And the question I have for you,

1181
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: because you played the game, you were in the league,

1182
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: I know you travel basically by charter. Can you rack

1183
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: up frequent flyer miles as a player.

1184
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: No, it's a charter. It's all done. It's done for

1185
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: you don't get those miles. Don't get the hotel points either.

1186
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: Okay. I just want to know because I thought, well,

1187
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: if you were flying commercial like this, you could, right

1188
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: because you get that ticket stub.

1189
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah you would. You would trying to sneak over

1190
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 2: to the count and asks take a punch from them, man.

1191
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: But not now, not with the charter. But is that

1192
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: an advantage? I mean I looked at that, I said, well,

1193
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: they're only you know, traveling ten thousand plus miles, but

1194
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: still in all I mean, if you're playing on a

1195
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon and you leave, if it's at one o'clock

1196
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: Sunday game on the East Coast normally teams lead like

1197
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: three to four in the afternoon on a Saturday, I

1198
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: don't think it's that big of a deal, do you

1199
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: in the miles? I don't think so really, if you know.

1200
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 2: It all comes down to your body clock and the rhythms.

1201
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: Like a lot of the Fort Science people will try

1202
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 2: and keep you on the same rhythm that you're on

1203
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: when you're in your home city. So that made mean

1204
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 2: changing the times that you fly out, change times that

1205
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: you go in to wake up, calls, all of that stuff.

1206
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 2: So it does matter from that point because if you

1207
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 2: have a lot of West Coast game life can be

1208
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 2: tough and miserable for some of the people involved.

1209
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: No doubt. And if you're playing for the Dolphins, you

1210
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: play in Seattle, that that's a whole. That's a trip.

1211
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't care. Even if it's a Sunday one o'clock

1212
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: and you're leaving Saturday, that's that's rough. You know, Miami

1213
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: to Seattle, Miami to uh to San Francisco, La, even Arizona.

1214
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: Those are trips. Those are big trips.

1215
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, huge trips. And you have to play in accordingly.

1216
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: You got to get there early. You don't want to

1217
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 2: deal in traffic. You don't want to have your team

1218
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: in traffic. It's it's a lot. They're allowed to coordinate.

1219
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, thank you bucket for your

1220
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: for your input, big because I always appreciate that we

1240
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: we get off the air. Now let's get into this NFL. Well,

1241
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: I say these guys are losers because they got some

1242
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: problems with this schedule. Let's talk about the Jets for

1243
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: a second. You know, a lot of anticipation because what

1244
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: happened Aaron Rodgers coming back, you know, a suit to

1245
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: be forty year old quarterback coming off an achilles. I'm

1246
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: not so certain, you know, it's the greatest thing in

1247
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the world to look forward to. But they did beef

1248
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: up their offensive line to protect them. But your thoughts

1249
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: on this Jets situation with Aaron Rodgers coming back, and

1250
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: obviously six of their first eleven games are in prime

1251
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: time because of Aaron Rodgers, I would think, yeah.

1252
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: I mean, what it is is a clear sign of

1253
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: the respect that the league has for Aaron Rodgers. But

1254
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: it's a huge gamble. It is a gamble all around.

1255
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: The New York Jets are basically a house of cards

1256
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 2: given the amount of older players that are taking chances

1257
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 2: on you know, Tymern Smith has dealt with injuries, Mike

1258
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Williams dealing with injuries. You have Morgan Moses, who's an

1259
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: older player trying to make his way back to play

1260
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 2: and at a high level, rolling the dice on a

1261
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: bunch of different things. And I don't know, like how

1262
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: often you can kind of roll dice and have it

1263
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 2: come up the way that you want. But they're willing

1264
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: to take that chance.

1265
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: And see, yeah, let's talk about how an athlete recovers

1266
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: from a Monday night game and play again on Sunday.

1267
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Doesn't make that much of a difference in playing on

1268
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: Sunday to Sunday. That extra day doesn't make that much

1269
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: of a difference.

1270
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it does make a difference because if

1271
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: you're talk to most players, they tell you they don't

1272
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 2: feel right until Wednesday or Thursday, really Thursday, so that

1273
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,959
Speaker 2: you know you lose the day. You lose a part

1274
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 2: of the recovery process to help you fill at your

1275
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 2: best on Sunday. But you just get used to doing it,

1276
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, you jap, you adjust, and you kind of

1277
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 2: figure it out, and you hope that you're conditioning your

1278
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: off season work. All the stuff that you've done puts

1279
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 2: you in a position where it doesn't matter.

1280
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: You know why I bring them up because you're looking

1281
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: at the Jets schedule. They have a Monday Sunday stretch

1282
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: with the Bills and the stealers. That's not healthy, it

1283
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: really isn't. Then they got a Sunday Thursday deal with

1284
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Texans from weeks six to nine,

1285
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: and they open with three games, three games in eleven days.

1286
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: That's a lot, including a road trip against the forty

1287
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: nine ers and the Titans. That's three games in eleven days.

1288
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: Isn't that a pretty big deal for football player to do.

1289
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's tough. I mean it's tough, but

1290
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: you know what, like, no one cares, so you've got

1291
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: to get through it right just you know, and coaches

1292
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: have to tell the teams that, hey man, no one cares.

1293
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 2: I know, it's a tough moment right now, but we

1294
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: got to figure it out. And they'll ultimately have to

1295
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: figure that part out.

1296
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Now. The Bills, the Browns, the Bears, and the Vikings.

1297
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: They are playing three road games in three weeks. That's

1298
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: kind of strange. And the Bills, I look over here

1299
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: on the schedule from weeks four to six, they play

1300
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Texans, and Jets, and they also visit the

1301
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins on Week two. It's pretty tough for the Buffalo Bills,

1302
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: which I think that if you were to graph that team,

1303
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm mistaken, I think the graph is facing

1304
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: down somewhat over years past.

1305
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say that, Like, it doesn't appear

1306
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: that they don't look on paper to be a better

1307
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: team given the losses that they've had. But that's what's

1308
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 2: great about national football. Do you get a chance to

1309
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: see it up and see their season. Will hande on

1310
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 2: Josh Allen being able to elevate those around him, Josh

1311
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Allen being able to do Patrick Mahomes like stuff. Have

1312
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: a lesser receiving corps in terms of talent, but more

1313
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: production because of the performance of the quarterback. That's what

1314
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 2: they're banking on. If they get that, that's gonna be

1315
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: a really good chance that the Buffalo Bills exceed expectations.

1316
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the San Francisco forty nine Ers in

1317
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: their schedule for a second. They're gonna play the Bills,

1318
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and the Cowboys and the Seahawks when all

1319
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: those teams are coming off their buys. What kind of

1320
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: an advantage that those teams have now against the forty

1321
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: nineers because they're going to play him after a bye week.

1322
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: Well, the team can reinvent itself over the course of

1323
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 2: the bad week. You know, they can take those practice

1324
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: days and that's that's what they did well, what they

1325
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: didn't do well, and figure out a way to put

1326
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 2: a more comprehensive game plan that features more winners than losers.

1327
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: They do that like that, that can be problematic because

1328
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: it just kind of changes everything. We'll see though, I

1329
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: Mean a lot of it comes down to you can

1330
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 2: know everything and do everything and write it all out,

1331
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: but can your players execute it? Execute? And Trump's everything.

1332
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: And then no surprise over here to Carolina Panthers, the

1333
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: only team in the league without a primetime game. They

1334
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: don't deserve one. I mean, they were the worst team

1335
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: in the league.

1336
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they're the worst team in football, and there

1337
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 2: isn't the same buzz about them that exists over some

1338
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 2: other teams when they make moves, they haven't made the

1339
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 2: splash moves to kind of command that kind of attention.

1340
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think one of the major problems I'm

1341
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: going to go back to the streaming situation right now.

1342
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: You've got so many games out there, it's going to

1343
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: be very difficult. Least it's difficult for me because I'm

1344
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: not that smart to find out what game is on

1345
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: what streaming platform. You know. I know when I watch

1346
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: the Antaa Basketball deal and they say this game is

1347
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: on True TV, I go nuts. I miss half the

1348
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: game because I never watched True TV, and I gotta

1349
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: find now either because I have Spectrum and I also

1350
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: have Direct TV, I don't know where they are. I

1351
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: sometimes have to call the provider to find out what

1352
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: channel it's on, really what number it is, to defind them.

1353
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna have that problem again with

1354
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the NFL because these guys, these games are on so

1355
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: many different streaming devices, different platforms. Yeah, I mean, maybe

1356
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: maybe I'm a stupid No.

1357
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 2: It's a lot to keep up with. But that's why

1358
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: you gotta have a little calendar in color code to

1359
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: calendar so you can get your favorite teams in and

1360
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: figure out when they're playing and what channel they're playing on.

1361
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: All Right, Now, we have a Wednesday game week number seventeen,

1362
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Chief Stealers. That'll be a pretty big one. Ravens Texans,

1363
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: that'll be a big one as well. So that's gonna

1364
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: be a Wednesday game on the week number seventeen, And

1365
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: each team is going to play Saturday in week sixteen

1366
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: before the Wednesday game and Week seventeen. Now that's gonna

1367
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: be tough, and that's gonna be three games and eleven

1368
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: days for all those teams, all four teams. So they

1369
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: got playing a Saturday game in week sixteen, coming back

1370
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: for Christmas deal on week seventeen. So you're playing Saturday

1371
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: and you're playing Wednesday again. But I would think if

1372
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: some of those teams have already clinched the playoff berth,

1373
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: they may hold back some of their starters.

1374
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 2: You think, I mean maybe, but I can't say it's

1375
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: gonna be a lead wide. Everyone will take that last week.

1376
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: They'll approach it differently, because the main thing when you

1377
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 2: get into the late stages of the season, if your

1378
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 2: team that's in contention, you want to be playing your

1379
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 2: best ball. Going into the tournament. So I think it's

1380
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 2: all all gas, no breaks.

1381
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: There we go. I think we kind of did a

1382
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: pretty good job dissecting the schedule, some of the teams

1383
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: that we looked at as winners and some losers. We

1384
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: will do that and we continue there. But he is

Speaker 5: you guys, thanks keV.

1437
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Seeing it now now? Is it a black and white issue?

1438
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in just about a minute. He's

1439
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks I'm Andy Furman. We are Fox Sports Sonning

1440
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Ready with Bob and Barrel, Betty coming

1441
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 1: up at about six seven minutes for now. And there

1442
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: was a story in y'ahoo's Sports the other day. They

1443
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: got who wrote it, but talk about Caitlin Clark comparing

1444
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Clark now to the NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird

1445
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: about forty forty five years ago. There was discussion about

1446
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: race and the transition to professional basketball. And I read

1447
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. I scratched my head because I always thought

1448
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: that sports would call a blind Maybe I'm stupid. I

1449
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: guess that's not the pain. They're not the case. Well

1450
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: maybe people are just looking to write about things. I

1451
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know. But cat and Clark, to her credit, has

1452
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: not said a thing to fuel this stuff, this black

1453
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: white narrative, which is great, and there's some talk about

1454
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: a double standard. So I kept on reading it. Next day,

1455
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: I know, I see a quote from Asia Wilson from

1456
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Aces and the WNBA and she says,

1457
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a big thing. I think it's a

1458
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: huge thing about race. I think a lot of people

1459
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: may say it's not about black and white, but to me,

1460
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: she says it is okay. When she was asking about

1461
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: the race element with Caton Clark and how comes she's

1462
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: so popular, she says, quote, it doesn't matter what we

1463
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: all do as black women, We're still going to be

1464
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: swept underneath the rug. That's why it boils my blood

1465
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: when people say it's not about race, because it is.

1466
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Now.

1467
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I read this and I said, wait a minute, Wow?

1468
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Is she jealous? Is it envy? Is she correct? I

1469
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Does America want a white hero? Is that

1470
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: the deal? I can't answer that question. I don't know,

1471
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: because I'm not black. Really, that's the honest to god answer.

1472
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: I can't answer that. And maybe she feels that way.

1473
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it's true. I don't know. Maybe you could help

1474
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: me with this, Bucky Brooks.

1475
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Look, it's a very nuanced conversation. But what has always

1476
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 2: happened in terms of like sports media, in the sports

1477
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,799
Speaker 2: world is we love to celebrate our heroes and annoying

1478
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 2: heroes and create villains. And what has happened and this

1479
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:28,640
Speaker 2: happened before this preceded uh Kaylyn Clark arriving in the WNBA,

1480
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 2: but she was placed as like a hero the hearing

1481
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 2: in the story arc that we have and we create

1482
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 2: in you know, in games. And look, I love Kaylyn Clark.

1483
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 2: I think her game is amazing. I've been watching in

1484
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 2: the last two years to watch her dominate the college

1485
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 2: game like she did. You love that. But then what

1486
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 2: happens is, I would say, when the casuals come in,

1487
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: they jump in and make it more than what it was.

1488
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 2: Much like you used to get annoyed with the conversation

1489
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 2: of her surpassing pistol Pete Mary for those things. They

1490
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 2: built her up to be a superhero when her game

1491
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 2: should speak for itself. And sometimes when you build her up,

1492
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 2: you do it at the spense of others. Where it became,

1493
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 2: you know, there was an article in the La Times

1494
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 2: where they talked unfavorably about the ladies from LSU, you know,

1495
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: and they've talked about South Carolina's girls and the ladies

1496
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 2: that played for South Carolina under Dawn Staley. And so

1497
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 2: when it became Iowa South Carolina, Iowa was depicted as

1498
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 2: the villain. It coincided with them being predominantly black and brown,

1499
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 2: and so you just have these undertones that surround her

1500
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 2: and it's not Kaitlyn Clark's fought obviously she just talked

1501
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 2: about like her heroes and how she goes about it.

1502
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 2: She doesn't kind of feed into it, but everyone around

1503
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: it does. And as much as I would love to

1504
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 2: say that sports a color blind, it's not like you

1505
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: can't avoid race in those conversations. There's a part of it.

1506
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 2: There's this out, this underbelly, this undertone where old stereotypes

1507
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 2: and tropes are thrown out there, maybe subconsciously because they've

1508
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: been associated with games for so long. And for Kaitlyn Clark,

1509
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: she's certainly kind of caught up in that because right

1510
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 2: now everyone is talking about her in the w NBA

1511
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 2: and how she's faring and those other things, and with her,

1512
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 2: she's almost untouchable when it comes to criticism, and so

1513
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: just all these weird things that are wrapped along Kaylyn Clark,

1514
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 2: as opposed to just enjoying her and watching her go

1515
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: through this journey along with so many of these other

1516
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 2: talented ladies that are making their way into.

1517
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: W Well, I will say this, I think it takes

1518
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 1: a lot of guts for Asia Wilson to come out

1519
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and say that it is about black and white, because

1520
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a gut you know, she's stuck ahead

1521
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: above the water to take people going to take shots

1522
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: at her. So I think it's gutsy that she said that.

1523
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: Do I believe it? I'm not so certain when I

1524
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: say sports is colorblind. The other day they had like

1525
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 1: a show Hea tany knife for the Dodgers with pup bubblehead.

1526
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Now fifty two thousand people there. Maybe that came out for.

1527
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 2: The bubble that's also yeah, but that's also different. Right.

1528
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 2: So when we think about La, right, so because I

1529
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 2: live in La, like La is a multicultural, multi ethnic city,

1530
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: like that team, the Dodgers is multicultural, multi ethnic where

1531
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: there's been the embrace of that. In other parts of

1532
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 2: the country it hasn't been as open. And so this

1533
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 2: is where sports and politics and all this stuff intertwines.

1534
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 2: At the same time, when we're talking about diversity and

1535
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 2: diversity of thought, diversity on the field, you also have

1536
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 2: a rash of things that happened around the country to

1537
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 2: crush the diversity, equity, and inclusion. And so we can't

1538
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: talk about, oh, it's colorblind without also acknowledging those factors.

1539
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 2: And when it comes to like college sports in particular,

1540
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 2: you have okay, we have these diverse teams on the field,

1541
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 2: on the hardwood, but we don't want diverse thought, diverse

1542
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 2: like viewpoints, diverse backgrounds in like classrooms or in administration

1543
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 2: or those things. And because it's clouded and oh, in

1544
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 2: one vein we think it's a meritocracy, but in another thing,

1545
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: when we see people in certain positions, we don't think

1546
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 2: it's on merit All of that leaks into how we've

1547
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 2: used sports and it's unfortunate, but that's where we're at.

1548
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: Well, you're exactly right, and I just feel bitf Asian

1549
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: Wilson is saying that she takes a lot of guts

1550
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: what she said. But I think she's going to get

1551
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: some heat for that because people are going to say

1552
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: that she's either envious or jealous of of Kaitlyn.

1553
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 4: I but.

1554
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: What a two time MVP.

1555
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 2: I think, right, you're a very accomplished player. And there's

1556
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 2: been some of that, right, So there's been some of

1557
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 2: that part. And let me also say this because this

1558
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 2: is is fair to Caitlyn Clark. So when Calen Clark

1559
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Sanders signature shoe deal with Nike, uh, initially there was

1560
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 2: some blowback that Nike got because at the time it

1561
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 2: appeared that all of the signatures, the signature shoes that

1562
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 2: they put out were represented by white women on the court,

1563
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: and a lot of the backlash came from, well, wait

1564
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 2: a minute, like, there are all these talented people in

1565
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 2: the w n B A, how can it just be

1566
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 2: that only white women have signature shoes. Nike later came

1567
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 2: and they just released Asia Wilson's shoe and they talked

1568
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 2: about it. But there's all to.

1569
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: Do it that way.

1570
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's shoes, right, but there are all of these

1571
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 2: things that are doing it. But it was part of

1572
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 2: a bigger campaign that Nike was was working on to

1573
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 2: really build it up so when they dropped, it becomes

1574
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 2: a spectacular drop. But so there are a lot of

1575
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 2: people that I and the reason I call them casuals

1576
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 2: because they're not hardcore. And people are beginning to tie

1577
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: with sports their own political agendas and those things with sports.

1578
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 2: So that's why everything is so clouded when we talk

1579
01:16:59,200 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 2: about it.

1580
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,759
Speaker 1: There you go, he's Bucky Brooks, Well sit, I mean, Defirman.

1594
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 7: you uh, when you guess the horse right.

1595
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 2: But it's okay.

1596
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 1: You can't get them all I know. So Bucky won, Bucky,

1597
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Bucky did what Bucky won?

1598
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 7: It was uh, it was close, three to two, three

1599
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 7: to two, not bad, not bad. But this puts the

1600
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,799
Speaker 7: overall score to Bucky has broken. So Bucky is currently

1601
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 7: at forty one and Andy is sitting at just under

1602
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 7: thirty at twenty nine with the overall score. All right, guys,

1603
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 7: you're ready for this next one. Let's see if Andy

1604
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 7: can make up for it. In the Darts Premier League,

01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:18,360

1608
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 7: let's start with you.

1609
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Michael Smith because he's probably really good,

1610
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: and he uses a fake name that's not a real name.

1611
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: He uses a fake name because everybody's like after him,

1612
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: WoT the grabs or whatever it may be. So I'm

1613
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: going with Michael Smith.

1614
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,680

1625
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: like the lie. I like a liar. I really do

1626
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,000

Speaker 1: I don't care what the things are, minus plus or

1632
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: maybe I'm going with the Bears, the Sydney Bears because

1633
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,599
Speaker 1: they like the Chicago Bears. They gotta win this year.

1634
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bears are gonna win as much

1635
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,040

1678
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: head of three other players you write making fifty million

1679
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: plus per year will be Justin Herbert Lamar Jackson and

1680
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. This is according to Over the Cap, and

1681
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 1: I got to ask a couple of question. Let's get

1682
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: into this a little bit. Why is he making so much?

1683
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: And is he worth it? You had some thoughts on that.

1684
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely is worth it. One, he has a pedigree,

1685
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 2: all right, So when he's a former number one overall pick,

1686
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 2: that comes with some cachet. The fact that the Lions

1687
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 2: went from being I think three thirteen and one to

1688
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 2: then three and thirteen to nine and eight to twelve

1689
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 2: and whatever last year, they have become like a top team,

1690
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 2: and it's coincided with his return to prominence and his

1691
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 2: rise as an NFL quarterback. I already spit out the

1692
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 2: stats where he's in the top four in passing yards,

1693
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 2: pass touchdowns, interception testdown and interception ratio since twenty twelve

1694
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 2: at twenty two. So he's up there when it comes

1695
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: to putting up the numbers. The team is getting the wins,

1696
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 2: and when he comes time to pay the quarterback, if

1697
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback is winning, he's putting up numbers. Individually, you

1698
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 2: have to pay him market value. And so that's why

1699
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:02,799
Speaker 2: he's just behind Joe Burrow.

1700
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it amazes me because you were right about the

1701
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,719
Speaker 1: thing that there's a lot of naysayers that have talked

1702
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: about Jared Goff. They told him that they called him

1703
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: a cast off. He's just a glorified game manager. And

1704
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: I go back and remember back in twenty sixteen he

1705
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: was the number one pick. All right, then you come

1706
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: back with these stats. Unbelievable. He has passed four in

1707
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: three years. He's passed four in Detroit, two hundred and

1708
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards, seventy eight touchdowns and only twenty seven

1709
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: i nts and over the past two years, and remember

1710
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,839
Speaker 1: he's only twenty nine years old. Over the past two years,

1711
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: he's ranked in the top four in the NFL in

1712
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: several categories including passing yards, passing, touchdowns and touchdowns to

1713
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: interception ratio is pretty good. Plus, as you mentioned again,

1714
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions under him as quarterback gone from three

1715
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: thirteen to one to nine and eight and last year

1716
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: twelve and five. So if the quarterback, in fact, there

1717
01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 1: is the most important position in the National Footballleague football,

1718
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: and this Detroit Lions team has made such a jump

1719
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: and he's the quarterback, you got to pay the guy.

1720
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: I guess you got to pay what the market is

1721
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 1: bearing and market value. That's basically it. Yeah, it's a

1722
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of money, but that's what they're paying them.

1723
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:15,639
Speaker 2: It is a lot of money, but that's what they're

1724
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,600
Speaker 2: paying and they have to pay because what's their alternative.

1725
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 2: You don't have an alternative, And why would you want

1726
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 2: to have an alternative when everything is trending in the

1727
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 2: right direction. This is a team that has legitimate Super

1728
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 2: Bowl aspiration. You don't want to miss with the quarterback

1729
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 2: position in that moment.

1730
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,839
Speaker 1: I don't know why people and I mentioned this earlier,

1731
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: that people really don't get too upset about the money.

1732
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: I you go to a baseball game, a guy strikes us,

1733
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 1: there's the guys are bumm. He's making all that money

1734
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 1: in football. I think there's a reasoning why they make

1735
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: the money. I don't see fans getting that upset because

1736
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:51,559
Speaker 1: they know football is a big money pie. Of players

1737
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: get a portion of that pie. Quarterbacks the most important position,

1738
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: and that's basically the going rate. If you want to

1739
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: become a salesman, you're not going to to get, you know,

1740
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve million dollars, you're going to get

1741
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: maybe paid by commission. You know, every job that you

1742
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: perform in life has I guess they have boundaries. If

1743
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: I may, you know, you can make x amount and

1744
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 1: not make this much and make this much. So you

1745
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: go into a profession I guess in life knowing that

1746
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: I like what I do, but I'm not going to

1747
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: make a hell of a lot of money because that's

1748
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: basically with the boundaries of this this job and the

1749
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: National Football League. If you're a quarterback, I guess the

1750
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: boundaries to some extent are endless. That's it, right, yeah, because.

1751
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 2: There's so a few of them that can play at

1752
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 2: an an elite level. When you have one, you have

1753
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 2: to pay the going rate for one. And the thing

1754
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 2: is when you're evaluating, because Dak Prescott will fall into

1755
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 2: this category later, how do you view the quarterback and

1756
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 2: what are you willing to pay him in relation to

1757
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,719
Speaker 2: what you can't pick up. So when you pay Jared

1758
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 2: Goff and they also elected to pay Amama Saint Brown

1759
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: and Penny Sewel as their foundational pieces, well you're gonna

1760
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 2: count on Amama Ras Saint Brown and those guys to

1761
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: play at a high level, But you really count on

1762
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 2: Jerry Goff to elevate the play of everyone around him.

1763
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 2: Can he do that? And that's the determination that you

1764
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: have to make when you write a big check. These

1765
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 2: other young guys that are in the hopper that are

1766
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 2: in line for extensions to talk about Loa is one,

1767
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is another. Are you willing to pay them

1768
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: that amount? And when you pay them, it changed the

1769
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 2: way that you have to construct your team. So you

1770
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 2: have to be very very confident that they can elevate

1771
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 2: their games to go from being maybe game managers to

1772
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 2: game changers, playmakers that the like. If not, you now

1773
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 2: begin to have the conversation, Okay, what is the ceiling

1774
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 2: in terms of what we can do with him? And

1775
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 2: are we willing to move on from him or will

1776
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 2: we just kind of have a budget in mind in

1777
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 2: terms of the bottom line number.

1778
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now here's the big question of the day, at

1779
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: least in my mind. So quarter getting paid because a

1780
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: the position that they play and be their value, not

1781
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: necessarily how good they are. What do I mean by that?

1782
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: I look at Daniel Jones, he got a big time

1783
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: contract with the Giants. I don't see what he has done.

1784
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: I don't see what he's done for the Giants. Sae

1785
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley is no longer with them, and he was

1786
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: like sixty percent of their offense. They're running back. So basically,

1787
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: you're getting paid because of the slotting, the position that

1788
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: you play, and that's why these guys are getting big

1789
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: time money. So when you talk about Dak Prescott coming

1790
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: up with a contract, you know, you may argue that

1791
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,959
Speaker 1: his stats are basically almost mirror image of Kirk Cousins.

1792
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Does that mean that he's going to the kind of

1793
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: deal that Kirk Cousins got. I mean, but again, what

1794
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: has he done in Dallas? Yeah?

1795
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 2: Here get a big one. People will say what has

1796
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 2: he done in Dallas? And I will say, here's the

1797
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 2: deal with Dak Prescott in relation to Kirk Cousins. He's

1798
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 2: had more success than Kirk Cousins team and individually when

1799
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 2: it comes to putting it together, and that right there

1800
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 2: puts him in that category where Kirk got whatever he

1801
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 2: got from the Atlanta Falcons. Dak Prescott is still younger.

1802
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott is as accomplished, but maybe he's had more

1803
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 2: team success. And no matter what you think about him,

1804
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 2: but everything about Kirk Cousins, if you're willing to write

1805
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 2: to check for Kirk Cousins, you have to be willing

1806
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 2: to write to check for Dak Prescott. I would think

1807
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 2: that some of the issues that the Cowboys were running

1808
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:30,519
Speaker 2: to how comfortable are they within me in fifty five

1809
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 2: sixty million a year? Are you okay with that? Because

1810
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 2: if you're not okay with it, then you probably should

1811
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 2: have made plans to move on from him and have

1812
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 2: another quarterback in play so he can enter free agency,

1813
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: or you could have traded him. But now that you

1814
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 2: haven't done that, he has all the leverage, especially if

1815
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 2: he comes back on a solid year, a year where

1816
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 2: he's four thousand yards, a bunch of touchdowns, this team

1817
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 2: wins double digit games. Now you're up against him and

1818
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to pay him closer to sixty million

1819
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 2: dollars then you anticipated or you would have had to pay,

1820
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: You would have a given if you had sign him

1821
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 2: before this season.

1822
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Now, now would you agree that maybe talent is not

1823
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: the highest thing on the picking order when they're looking

1824
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 1: at a contract. And why do I say that? Because

1825
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: I think one of the major questions that people who

1826
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,679
Speaker 1: signed the contracts with these players are. The major question

1827
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 1: is well, if we don't sign them, who do we

1828
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: have without them? That's the major question. I mean, Dallas

1829
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: may be stuck giving big money to Dak Prescott because

1830
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,520
Speaker 1: what do they do if they don't have Dak Prescott?

1831
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 1: And Kirk Cousins was lucky in the position in Atlanta

1832
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: because they didn't have anybody. Really they were hurting for

1833
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback.

1834
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the thing. And if you are Jerry Jones,

1835
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 2: those are the things that you're supposed to think about

1836
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 2: ahead of time. You're supposed to have a plan, a

1837
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 2: secession plan for Okay, if we're going to move up

1838
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 2: with Dak, move on from Dak a year ago, two

1839
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 2: years ago, Let's have a quarterback in here learning the

1840
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 2: system developing under us, and he will be ready when

1841
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 2: it's time to call his number. They didn't do that.

1842
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 2: That's why they're stuck, because the poor planning has put

1843
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:11,919
Speaker 2: them in a bad situation.

1844
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you could say that Giants have poor

1845
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: planning as well, but although they did they did draft

1846
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: world waterback.

1847
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 2: Well yeah, not only not that. So I think for

1848
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 2: the Giants, the difference is ownership may believe in the

1849
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 2: quarterback more than maybe the coaching staff, and ownership paid

1850
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 2: him at a level where they thought he was gonna

1851
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 2: be really, really good. Maybe ownership is more invested in

1852
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones than the pieces around him. Daniel Jones has

1853
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: to show people that he can deliver. He got paid

1854
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 2: after having only fifteen touchdowns and five interceptions. Those modest

1855
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: numbers are Look, those are super modest numbers for a

1856
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 2: forty million dollars quarterback. And this was a team that

1857
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 2: didn't want to pay Saquon Barkley and it created a

1858
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,680
Speaker 2: bit of an an issue. So you just have to

1859
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 2: have these things planned out, thought out, plot it out,

1860
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 2: thinking one or two years in advance, while also building

1861
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 2: the team up right now that can win any immedia future.

1862
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: It amazes me. I mean, with that position right now,

1863
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day, you know, if you

1864
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 1: were a parent, you'd want your kid to go to

1865
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Little League baseball and become a pitcher. Now if you're

1866
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 1: a parent, you want the kid to be a quarterback.

1867
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:27,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the way to go if you look

1868
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,839
Speaker 1: up for a big time money in professional athletics, right.

1869
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean that's the way to go.

1870
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 2: But there's so few of them that can do it.

1871
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,799
Speaker 2: I can't tell you the amount of quarterbacks or aspiring quarterbacks,

1872
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:44,559
Speaker 2: and we see they can't. I play, everyone understand, and

1873
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 2: everyone chases the bag, and the bag is given not

1874
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 2: necessarily on performance and production, but a lot on projection

1875
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 2: and potential. And as we're looking at these quarterback deals

1876
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 2: and Jered Goffer some of the other guys, what's the

1877
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 2: potential for them to kind of hit that mark over again,

1878
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 2: Because you know lead that they can hit that mark again,

1879
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 2: then you're willing to pay him. Yeah.

1880
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Justin Herbert for a secent

1881
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 1: was I think coming out of college, this guy was

1882
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 1: the big news. Justin Herbert was the big news. He

1883
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 1: hasn't had I'll have to say, much successive at all,

1884
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, coming into the National Football League. But I

1885
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: think right now with his new coach, Harbaugh. Jim Harborugh

1886
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 1: right now is going to really focus on the offense.

1887
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:25,600
Speaker 1: He's an offensive minded guy. He's had quarterbacks that he

1888
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 1: toutored both in college and when he coached in the

1889
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 1: NFL prior to this. I think you're going to see

1890
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 1: an explosion with Justin Herbert this year. Do you agree.

1891
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see an explosion in terms of

1892
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 2: the production because he's been a four thousand year quarterback before.

1893
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 2: He's been a guy that has kind of been celebrated

1894
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 2: and hailed as the terrific talent that doesn't necessarily have

1895
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 2: the team around him to maximize his potential. Jim Harbaugh

1896
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 2: is going to make the game easier for him by

1897
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:57,759
Speaker 2: operating under a less is more approach, fewer passes, more production.

1898
01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna run the football, We're gonna be a physical team,

1899
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: dominate in the trenches, and when we throw, we're gonna

1900
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,639
Speaker 2: throw our play action. We're going to push it down

1901
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 2: the field to win our one on one matchups. I

1902
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 2: think this would be a more productive year for Justin

1903
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 2: Herbert in terms of the team's success. I don't think

1904
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,800
Speaker 2: the numbers will match the numbers that he's put up

1905
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,919
Speaker 2: in the past because the offense from a philosophical standpoint,

1906
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 2: has gone in a different direction.

1907
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 1: Right. You know, when you look at quarterbacks in the

1908
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: National Football League and how much they get paid, I'm

1909
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 1: sure as a form of player, you shake your head

1910
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 1: right now. And I got to ask. I mean, let's

1911
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: not talk about rating the quarterbacks by how much they make.

1912
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: But in your mind, who do you think the top

1913
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:40,840
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks are talent wise? Figured about how much they make,

1914
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 1: But the top three talent wise, if in fact they

1915
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 1: were on a different team, would maybe more talents surrounding them,

1916
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,719
Speaker 1: they would shine better. But who are the top three

1917
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: you think, top.

1918
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 2: Three quarterbacks in the league? Who was shining or just

1919
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 2: in jump talent wise? Yeah, okay, talent tellent wise, Pat

1920
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:58,679
Speaker 2: Mahomes would be one.

1921
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 1: So you're telling me he'd be great and any team

1922
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 1: he's there, he would make people around him better.

1923
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 2: I think so. I think the last couple of years

1924
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 2: he's proven that he could make people better. I would say, now,

1925
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 2: he certainly has to have a system, but he is

1926
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 2: the most talented, so I would put him in that

1927
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: category and everybody, all these quarterbacks, you have to have

1928
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 2: the right system. You have to have the right things

1929
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 2: in place. But I would say the top three would

1930
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 2: be Look, Joe Burrow would fall in that category, and

1931
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:29,520
Speaker 2: then Josh Allen would be in that conversation.

1932
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: Josh, we'll see what We'll see what happens this year

1933
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: Without Stefan Diggs in Buffalo. That may hurt him, although

1934
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 1: he could make them make the team better.

1935
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will hurt him. I believe it hurt him

1936
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 2: in some way or capacity. But Josh Allen Lamar Jackson

1937
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 2: is an interesting debate. Lamar Jackson, by most accounts, should

1938
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 2: be right up on the Pat Mahomes as a two

1939
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 2: time MVP winner. Compared to Joe Burrow. I think Joe

1940
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 2: Burrow could exist because you could always spread the formation out.

1941
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 2: I think Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are acquired tastes.

1942
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 2: You have to have a plan for how you're going

1943
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 2: to maximize both of their guys. So that's why I

1944
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 2: will put them as three A, three B when it

1945
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 2: comes to it. But it's a really Look, it's a

1946
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 2: really difficult debate when it comes to the top five

1947
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 2: and quarterbacks.

1948
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I mean, it is difficult

1949
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that the people who sign the paychecks

1950
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: are looking at that as well, saying, you know, I'm

1951
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 1: giving this guy big money, but is he as good

1952
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 1: as you know? This guy? Don't they go that route

1953
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 1: or they just say, look, we got to pay it

1954
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:32,040
Speaker 1: because that's just a going rate.

1955
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 2: Now that they understand what the going rate is, and

1956
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:37,600
Speaker 2: you have to know what the going rate is, you

1957
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 2: have to know what you're getting in return and what

1958
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 2: you paid the player. The compensation has to line up

1959
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 2: with what the production is going to be, and you

1960
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 2: get into trouble when the compensation by market value is

1961
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 2: significantly greater than the production that the player can produce.

1962
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 2: That's when it does. In thelign so, I talked about

1963
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones being a forty million dollar quarterback with only

1964
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 2: fifteen touchdown passes. That typically doesn't align. Forty million dollars

1965
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 2: quarterback is normally hot twenties. Really, thirty plus touchdowns just

1966
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,600
Speaker 2: a difference. It's just a difference in expectation.

1967
01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:16,519
Speaker 1: Interesting, all right, Looking to continue with this boost. I

1968
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 1: got some more that you have written on NFL dot com.

1989
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, you made a Bowl prediction NFL dot Com.

1990
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 1: Every Friday, it says NFL Riders. Scroll down you see

01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 1: you said this Friday, and I love it because we're

1993
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 1: going to get into it right now. That Los Angeles

1994
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:36,679
Speaker 1: could become the NFL's most interesting city in twenty twenty four.

1995
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:38,880
Speaker 1: In fact, by the end of the season, they could

1996
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: emerge as the new football mecca. What do you mean

1997
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: by that? What's going on in Los Angeles that we

1998
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: should know?

1999
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 2: Oh? This is this is it. LA is the place

2000
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 2: you're looking at good football, You're looking at championship caliber football.

2001
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 2: LA is going to be the place that you want

2002
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 2: to keep your eyes on. And that's talking about the

2003
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 2: Rams and the Chargers emerging and as sleeper candidates to

2004
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 2: represent the AFC and the NFC respectively in the Super Bowl.

2005
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Now wait just a minute. As far as I concern,

2006
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,360
Speaker 1: when I think of the Chargers, I think of a

2007
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: team that can't close. I think of a team that

2008
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,720
Speaker 1: blows it in the fourth quarter every game, and they've

2009
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 1: done so in the last several years. So all of

2010
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, Now why the turnaround? Basically the same personnel

2011
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 1: but a different coach.

2012
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 2: Oh, the coaching matters. Coaching matters in this league. You

2013
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 2: think about what they had been able to accomplish on

2014
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 2: the Brandon Staling Brendazeta didn't stick to his guns. He

2015
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 2: didn't stay with the aggressive, super analytical approach. We're going

2016
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 2: to be on the edge. We're gonna push the envelope

2017
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 2: in those things. As soon as he got a little criticism,

2018
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 2: he changed his ways. Jim Harbar is not gonna do that. Also,

2019
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,960
Speaker 2: we have a history, a proven history that we can

2020
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 2: look at and talk about Jim Harbard turning around programs

2021
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 2: and quickly making them the bully on the block. He

2022
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 2: did it first at USD Universe at San Diego. Then

2023
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,839
Speaker 2: he goes to Stanford using the same blueprint beat USC

2024
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 2: takes over Pete Carroll and make Stanford the bully in

2025
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. He goes to the San Francisco forty

2026
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 2: nine as quickly knocks off the Seattle Seahawks and they

2027
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 2: become the new team that we're talking about in the

2028
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 2: NFC West, goes to Michigan. Michigan can't get over the hump,

2029
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,360
Speaker 2: can't beat Ohio State. They knock them off. Then they

2030
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 2: go to the playoffs back to back years and eventually

2031
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 2: win the national title. He's gonna use the same blueprint

2032
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 2: to get the Charges up and running. They're gonna be

2033
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 2: a physical team, They're gonna run the football. They're gonna

2034
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,800
Speaker 2: have a great quarterback. The quarterbacks going to be selective

2035
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 2: in his usage, but when they use him, he's gonna

2036
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 2: be very effective. And then he's gonna build up the

2037
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 2: overall toughness of the program. I don't know if you

2038
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 2: had a chance to listen to the strength coach from

2039
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 2: the Chargers talking about we're gonna make our team where

2040
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 2: they're unbreakable, and so that is about the physicality and

2041
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 2: toughness that they're going to do, and I think you'll

2042
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 2: see a quick improvement from the Chargers, And the same

2043
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 2: will be said for the La Rams who made it

2044
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:57,719
Speaker 2: this postseason. But they're all in on the running game,

2045
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: even though they have Matthew Stafford. Look, their style of

2046
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 2: player is going to get both teams an opportunity to

2047
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 2: be one of the last team standing when we get

2048
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:05,879
Speaker 2: to the tournament.

2049
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm not so certain it's great to have two West

2050
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 1: Coast teams from the same city facing each other in

2051
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because it takes away the entire East

2052
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: Coast rooting interest. Whatever it may be. But you know,

2053
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm listening to what you say, and you may be right.

2054
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to hold you to this when we get

2055
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 1: down to the Super Bowl. But I'm a big fan

2056
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: of Jim Harbaugh, and there's no doubt in my mind

2057
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 1: he's turned things around. He's got quarterbacks like Andrew Luck

2058
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 1: when he coached at Stanford, Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, j

2059
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: C Yeah.

2060
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 2: Josh Johnson, who's been in the league for a long time.

2061
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 2: He was his quarterback at University of San Diego. Yeah,

2062
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 2: he knows what he's doing when it comes to quarterbacks,

2063
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 2: how to protect and build up the quarterback, all of

2064
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,160
Speaker 2: those things. I mean, if I'm a gamble on somebody,

2065
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,719
Speaker 2: I'm certainly gambling on his ability to build a winning

2066
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 2: program and to make sure that the quarterback plays really,

2067
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 2: really well.

2068
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 1: Okay, So my question to you has to be a

2069
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: what makes Jim Harbaugh such a good coach where others

2070
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 1: have failed and he succeeded. What does he have? What

2071
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: right does he have to build a winner and all

2072
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: these problems. It's not a coincidence. Wherever he's been he's won.

2073
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 1: You know, Michigan now owns Ohio State. We'll see what

2074
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,759
Speaker 1: happens now without him, but now they have owned Ohio

2075
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 1: State and football.

2076
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 2: He has the ability to retain the old school values

2077
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,839
Speaker 2: and traditions that have always worked well in the national

2078
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:30,960
Speaker 2: in football. Toughness, physicality, running the football, using the running

2079
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 2: game to protect the quarterback. That always works. He does

2080
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 2: a really good job of finding defensive coordinators who can

2081
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:39,639
Speaker 2: build up elite defenses. So now, if you can run

2082
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 2: the ball, play great defense, and you have a great quarterback,

2083
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 2: that is going to give you a chance to always

2084
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 2: be in that conversation. He does that, and he somehow

2085
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 2: has a rare ability to build confidence in his players.

2086
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 2: He is able to tell them, hey, if you follow

2087
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 2: this blueprint, you follow this plan, we can be anybody.

2088
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 2: And ultimately he's a competitor. He doesn't blink, he doesn't

2089
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 2: shot away from competition. He loves it. He goes after it.

2090
01:42:04,760 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 2: He's going to put a target on the back of

2091
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 2: the biggest bully in the AFC, and right now that's

2092
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,400
Speaker 2: in his division, the can City Chiefs, and he is

2093
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,640
Speaker 2: going to go after him, much like he's done at

2094
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 2: every other place. He just has a blueprint and the format.

2095
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:19,840
Speaker 2: It works with him, and it also fits his personality

2096
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 2: he is what those values are that he preaches each

2097
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:24,719
Speaker 2: and every week.

2098
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: I like what you wrote an NFL dot com, he

2099
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:30,759
Speaker 1: said Jim Hobart Tom reporters at the annual league meetings

2100
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: in watching on courting what you wrote. Now, if I

2101
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: ask you the question of like, what position group depends

2102
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: on no other position group to be good, but every

2103
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 1: other position group depends on them to be good. What

2104
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 1: position group is that offensive line? Offensive line? And look,

2105
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 1: but then they pick up the tackle Joe alt So,

2106
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's bolt, He's protecting his quarterback. Quarterback's important,

2107
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 1: but you've got to protect the quarterback, and that's what

2108
01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 1: he's doing. You know, you may be onto something here

2109
01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 1: that it could be all in LA super Bowl. I

2110
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 1: don't think I want to see that, but it could

2111
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: very well be in LA super Bowl.

2112
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,639
Speaker 2: It looked it could be down the line. And look,

2113
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 2: we're being a little bold when I talk about it

2114
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 2: being the football mecca, but that's what you're doing. I

2115
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 2: think all eyes will be on the city of LA

2116
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 2: because they are two very intriguing programs. You have the

2117
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 2: charges everyone's excited about Jim Harbaugh. You've heard the buzz,

2118
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 2: you feel the buzz Obviously you saw him at Michigan.

2119
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 2: The buzz out in LA is crazy over him, and

2120
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 2: then the Sean McVay and what Sean McVay has done

2121
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,080
Speaker 2: with the Rams. The Rams got into the postseason tournament

2122
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:36,000
Speaker 2: last year, the Rams became a really physical run team.

2123
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 2: They went from me in a zone base blocking team

2124
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 2: to a gap scheme where they're pulling and kicking guy.

2125
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 2: Our guys up front, they're doing that and then they

2126
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 2: double down. Karen Williams was one of the top rushes

2127
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 2: in the league. They now backstop him with Blake korm

2128
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 2: from Michigan, who is a touchdown machine and one of

2129
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 2: the best running backs in my estimation, might have been

2130
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 2: the best running back in the draft. Now that he's

2131
01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 2: fully removed from the knee injury, they kind of slowed

2132
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 2: him down season. If he ain't, Karen Williams become that

2133
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 2: one two punch that they've been looking for. Look out,

2134
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,479
Speaker 2: because you can't stop the running game and outside with

2135
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 2: Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup, you're gonna have a difficult

2136
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 2: time also slowing them down in the passing game.

2137
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 1: Now you're scaring me because not only you predicting both

2138
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 1: LA teams. You're getting excited about it. I mean, right now,

2139
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 1: if I want to ask you, are you basically telling

2140
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 1: me here right now that you're going to see the

2141
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Rams in the Super Bowl. I mean,

2142
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 1: you're really glowing with these two teams. You're excited. I

2143
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: mean you think it's really going to happen.

2144
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I think it potentially could happen for sure.

2145
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 2: And what I will say this, because everyone is going

2146
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 2: to be the naye ear is how can the Rams

2147
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 2: be in that conversation when they lose Aaron Donald. I

2148
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 2: don't know if people have been paying attention, but less

2149
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 2: need has left the door open for Aaron Donald to

2150
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 2: return for a potential postseason run. They did it a

2151
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 2: couple of years ago with Eric. Eric Weddle joined the

2152
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 2: team right before the postseason, played in the postseason helped

2153
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 2: that team win the Super Bowl. If Aaron Donald wants

2154
01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 2: to sit out training camp and most of the regular

2155
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:00,559
Speaker 2: season but gets the itch to come back as this

2156
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 2: team is rolling, he absolutely will come back. So I'm

2157
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 2: not as worried about them on defense because they have

2158
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 2: young guys that and Kobe Turner Brian Young. They drafted

2159
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 2: two guys from Florida Stay dread Verse and Brandon Fitz respectively.

2160
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna be okay, but offensively they can dictate the

2161
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 2: terms and make the game really really challenge him for

2162
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 2: people to have to face him.

2163
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,799
Speaker 1: Interesting. I'm running this down and when Super Bowl rolls around,

2164
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:28,720
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, because I will treat you to

2165
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,599
Speaker 1: a dinner any restaurant in LA you want. If in fact,

2166
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 1: the Rams and Charges play together in the Super Bowl.

2167
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:36,720
Speaker 1: How's that? How's that?

2168
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:38,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it's good. I like it.

2169
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I don't think it's gonna happen. You know,

2170
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm hoping the Bengals come back, you know, really and truly.

2171
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of expectations for the Bengals.

2172
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows healthy now he's coming back. But here's a

2173
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: guy who's injury prone. That scares me. But when he's

2174
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: bolt up a lot. So we'll see what happens there.

2175
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: But more than that, you're talking about the team and

2176
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: even make the playoffs. Last year again he wasn't playing.

2177
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 1: But still in all you know, the last several years

2178
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 1: he has not played, you know, one of them has

2179
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:07,640
Speaker 1: not been dec tom Me. So I can't blame that

2180
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 1: on football injury, but the wrist has so many things

2181
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:12,760
Speaker 1: with the knee. I mean, I just I worry about

2182
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 1: him completing the season. Is that a fair assessment to

2183
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 1: worry about him because he's injury prone?

2184
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's a fair assessment. Anytime someone has injuries,

2185
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 2: you worry about it. But it happens because sometimes, as

2186
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,799
Speaker 2: much as we'd like to say injuries are predictive, they're random.

2187
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:31,760
Speaker 2: They're random occurrences that occasionally play got best players, but

2188
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:36,679
Speaker 2: you can't. You have to make sure that you're still

2189
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 2: great to play and give the player his due based

2190
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,719
Speaker 2: on the potential that he flashes. And with the injury

2191
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 2: history or whatever, it's still doesn't matter. Fact that he's

2192
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 2: a really good player and you can do like if

2193
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:49,439
Speaker 2: they have their pieces in place, this is a really

2194
01:46:49,479 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 2: talented team.

2195
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,839
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. We'll see what happens. Bucky

2243
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: Have a great day. Thanks for all you do for us. Okay,

2244
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:38,439
Speaker 1: now is a talk out of control. We'll explain that

2245
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:41,040
Speaker 1: in just a minute. He's Bucky Brooks, I mean Deferman.

2246
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: We on Fox Sports Sunday on Fox What's ready? And

2247
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: the talk, obviously is Caitlin Clark. Are you tired of

2248
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: it already? I mean, that's all I hear. A good

2249
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,960
Speaker 1: bit indifferent. You know, they said the first game she

2250
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 1: scored twenty, but she had ten turnovers. Yesterday scored twenty two.

2251
01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 1: Let me just clear up this mess for a second.

2252
01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 1: Number one, this Indiana Fever team, she's not oneing three.

2253
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: They're not a good team. And over the last four

2254
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,720
Speaker 1: years they've only had double digit wins once. They won

2255
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: thirteen games. I believe last year or two years ago

2256
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 1: they've won five to three. Whatever it may have been.

2257
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 1: They don't win. There's a reason why they drafted first.

2258
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: They're just a bad team. So to lump her in

2259
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 1: there and say she's not gonna do well, she's not

2260
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: doing well, she's not successful. It's crazy. You know. It

2261
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 1: takes time, Bucky. You know as well as anybody else

2262
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 1: an athlete making the jump from college to the pros

2263
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 1: in any sport, you have to adapt. It takes time.

2264
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 1: And she's on a bad team. And that team has

2265
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:37,839
Speaker 1: to gell and worked together. And I wasn't too happy

2266
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 1: when they lost yesterday and the coach said they're gotta

2267
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: be tougher. They're gonna be mentally tougher. No, they got

2268
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,719
Speaker 1: to play well together. Has something to do with mental toughness.

2269
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 1: Got to play well together. And obviously I don't think

2270
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 1: that coach should have gone public with that remark. Maybe

2271
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. When the coach goes public and says he's

2272
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,120
Speaker 1: got to play tough, right, I don't think it's good.

2273
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 1: And that coach is not going to last the season.

2274
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't think she will, So I.

2275
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:04,719
Speaker 2: Would say this. They were a team that has struggling

2276
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 2: in the past. They did have the number one overall pick,

2277
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 2: which is why they were able to get Kaitlyn Clark.

2278
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 2: Because they've been so bad she comes over. I believe

2279
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 2: she has made some strong points about Kaitlyn Clark's game

2280
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 2: and where she needs to improve and get better and

2281
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark and people got mad at Diana Tarossi when

2282
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 2: she said this, and she said, she's going to have

2283
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 2: to learn a lot of stuff before she's able to

2284
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 2: kind of dominate and play the way that many of

2285
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 2: us expected her to play right away. Now, it's telling

2286
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,439
Speaker 2: that she has hit I think twenty points in back

2287
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 2: to back games. She has a nice shot, but it's

2288
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:42,639
Speaker 2: been a struggle for her, and like most young players,

2289
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:45,760
Speaker 2: they struggle with the increased speed of the game, the

2290
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:49,320
Speaker 2: new physicality that happens when you go to the pros.

2291
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 2: But she's look, she's a great player. She'll figure it out.

2292
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll be the quote unquote transcendent

2293
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 2: star that some build her up to be in a WNBA,

2294
01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 2: But she's a really, really good player. He's figured it out.

2295
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 2: But she also has a target on her back, much

2296
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 2: like Lebron James had a target on his back when

2297
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 2: he entered the league. That's a part of it, and

2298
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 2: I think the bigger thing has been maybe the people

2299
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:15,200
Speaker 2: that are just tuning into women's basketball and the WNBA.

2300
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:18,559
Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't give enough credit to the women who

2301
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 2: were already there in terms of how good they were,

2302
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 2: and she is having to adapt to that. But the

2303
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: conversation is always going to be about Kaitlyn Clark, much

2304
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:29,639
Speaker 2: like the NBA is always about Lebron James, because she's

2305
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:32,200
Speaker 2: a megastar. She was a star before she got to

2306
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 2: the league, and she'll continue to be a star just

2307
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 2: because of what she did it. I went, how she

2308
01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 2: built up herself and her brand. Yeah, coming to the WNBA,

2309
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,599
Speaker 2: it's going to be a conversation all the time.

2310
01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: Help me out here, I mean, in the mindset of

2311
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,480
Speaker 1: an athlete, and you could answer this question better than anybody.

2312
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:51,920
Speaker 1: You have someone who's really hyped, like Caitlin Clark was

2313
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,120
Speaker 1: in college coming to the pros. You know, we saw

2314
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: the Asia the Las Vegas Aces. Wasn't too Hobby said

2315
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,840
Speaker 1: that she's getting all this bigle some skin color, and

2316
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: there's gotta be some I'm not gonna say hatred, but

2317
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: at least some jealousy, right, Uh? Do the players basically

2318
01:53:09,360 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: want to go out there and play even maybe a

2319
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: little harder against her and show her up and and more.

2320
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 1: I guess they're they're out together that they want to

2321
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 1: see a fail. I mean, if she's if she's successful,

2322
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 1: you got to believe it's good for the league. It's

2323
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: good for the league as she does well. But the

2324
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 1: point is there's a lot of players out there that

2325
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:31,839
Speaker 1: are going to give up, play a little harder against her, fouler,

2326
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,439
Speaker 1: a little harder just because of what she has done

2327
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: and the name she's got. I know, everybody's talking about her.

2328
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the nature of the beast. That's

2329
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 2: I mean, that's any sportus that's that's where there's high

2330
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 2: school going all the way up. Everyone wants to use

2331
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 2: the quote unquote best player as the measuring stick, and

2332
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:53,280
Speaker 2: everyone wants to make the name off the player that

2333
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 2: is very prominent. So yeah, like with a league full

2334
01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 2: of uh alpha females who are super competitive, who love competition,

2335
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:06,160
Speaker 2: they absolutely relished opportunity to play against her. And you

2336
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 2: saw very early they played two of the best defensive

2337
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:11,519
Speaker 2: teams in the league, two of the best defensive players

2338
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 2: were matched on her, and man, they bumped her at

2339
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 2: every turn. They made life miserable for her. They challenged her.

2340
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:21,120
Speaker 2: They did that. That's a part of it. Now what

2341
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 2: I'm looking at as a high intense competitor, how does

2342
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:27,599
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark respond? How does she take her game up

2343
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:30,960
Speaker 2: a notch to deal with the physicality and those things

2344
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 2: that's part of being the superhero. How do you handle

2345
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 2: the adversity and come back even bigger, better, stronger. That's

2346
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:40,840
Speaker 2: where we're at right now looking at Caaitland Clark.

2347
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 1: And the question has to be asked. And we said

2348
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:45,160
Speaker 1: this going to the segment, is she overrated or is

2349
01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 1: she overpaid? And Jason Whitlock, I love Jason Whitlock, and

2350
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 1: he wrote that she thinks she's overpaid. And so this guy,

2351
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: Matt Walsh, he said that she's overpaid because the NBA

2352
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: basically is keeping the WNBA afloat and there's not much

2353
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 1: viewer interest on TV. That's why she's basically overpaid.

2354
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 4: You know.

2355
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:05,680
Speaker 2: But I don't think this. I don't think that's I

2356
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 2: don't think that's fair to her, and I don't think

2357
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 2: that's fair to the w NBA. Right And here's here's

2358
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 2: why the w NBA. I think they're going into their

2359
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 2: twenty sixth year of existence, and like anything, if you

2360
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 2: go back and look at the NBA when it was

2361
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 2: twenty five years in existence, I would say that, like,

2362
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 2: it's probably about doing what the WNBA was doing at

2363
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:30,120
Speaker 2: this point. I'm a kid of the seventies. I remember

2364
01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 2: when they used to tape delay the seven game Championship

2365
01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 2: series on the East Coast, so I couldn't even see

2366
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 2: the games live. When the Celtsias were playing commercial didn't

2367
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:43,960
Speaker 2: they didn't, They didn't have that. And then the explosion

2368
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan comes like magic and bird set the table,

2369
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 2: but Michael Jordan took it to another level where it

2370
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 2: became box office. This might be the time where the WNBA,

2371
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 2: with the influx of new stars Kaitlin Clark andrel Reese

2372
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:00,080
Speaker 2: some of the other ladies that have made their way

2373
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 2: from the college game, maybe they elevate it and becomes

2374
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 2: more of a thing. I think we're seeing that based

2375
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:07,800
Speaker 2: on the sponsorships and some of that other stuff. I

2376
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 2: just think people are being a little too harsh on

2377
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 2: a WNBA where it is and where it's been.

2378
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 1: I certainly agree with you and that I really do

2379
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:17,480
Speaker 1: let him play, Let him play, and just like back off,

2380
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 1: just to drop back off. That's what you gotta do,

Speaker 2: All right, guys.

2395
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:04,280
Speaker 7: After twenty four years, as I was, had, women's coach

2396
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 7: Lisa Blooter has retired.

2397
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 1: Who do you blame? Who's up? Who's up?

2398
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 8: End of year?

2399
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,200
Speaker 1: App All right? You know I blame Caitlyn Clark, but

2400
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 1: she knows, Lisa, No, she can't win without Caitlyn Clark.

2401
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:17,920
Speaker 1: And why she waits so long? I mean, if you're

2402
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:19,680
Speaker 1: going to retire and do it right after the season,

2403
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 1: Why are you doing it now rolling into the month

2404
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:25,760
Speaker 1: of June. That's crazy? So you know what, Lisa, You're week.

2405
01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:28,440
Speaker 1: You can't get it done without Caitlyn Clark and you

2406
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 1: knew it. So that's why I'm blaming Caitlyn. Sorry, Caitlin,

2407
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 1: you know I love you, But I tell you why.

2408
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 1: It's your fault that she's quitting.

2409
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:37,360
Speaker 2: No, I have a different take on it. I blame

2410
01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:40,280
Speaker 2: the assistant coach that took over as the head coach.

2411
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 2: The reason why the coach stayed on so long is

2412
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:45,960
Speaker 2: because by waiting till almost June, she made it impossible

2413
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:49,440
Speaker 2: for aoua to go outside of the family to hire somebody.

2414
01:57:49,560 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 2: It was smart for the coach to wait a little

2415
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 2: bit before she decided to retire.

2416
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: I like that angle, Yeah, yes, why you're smarter than me. Yeah.

2417
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 7: Next, the famous the famous napkin that linked a young

2418
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 7: Lionel Messi to Barcelona sold for nine hundred and sixty

2419
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 7: five thousand on Friday.

2420
01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: Who do you blame? Fuck?

2421
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 2: I blame Messi. Messi's popular, like you're talking about, like,

2422
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 2: that's why they blame I blame Messy Messi's too popular,

2423
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,560
Speaker 2: he's too big, he's blockbuster, and so because of that,

2424
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 2: that's why the line went for what it went for.

2425
01:58:21,120 --> 01:58:23,640
Speaker 1: Ninely sixty five thousand. You know, I blame I blame

2426
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 1: the idiot who paid that kind of money. Really, and

2427
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,000
Speaker 1: I tell you what, you didn't have the guts to

2428
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 1: put your name out there. I want to find out

2429
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 1: what fool spend nine undred sixty five thousand freaking dollars

2436
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:51,640
Speaker 7: fans per game in their final season in Oakland. It

2437
01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 7: would be the lowest home attendance figure for an MLTV

2438
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 7: team in forty five years.

2439
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:58,600

2445
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,520

2448
01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:22,960
Speaker 1: stand But Mannigan's up in the stands. It looks terrible.

2449
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 1: Six thousand people in the game's nuts.

2450
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 2: I blame ownership because he ruined the great franchise. He

2451
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:30,360
Speaker 2: ruined the great thing that was in Oakland. Having lived

2452
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:32,800
Speaker 2: in Oakland, knowing how much the aid's been to the community,

2453
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 2: he wrecked that. He wrecked that because they had competitive players,

2454
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:38,600
Speaker 2: but he refused to put those players on the major

2455
01:59:38,640 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 2: league team they didn't want to win. He's just in

2456
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:42,800
Speaker 2: it for the profit. He's not in it for the

2457
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:44,800
Speaker 2: fans and for trying to really win at a major level.

2458
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,560
Speaker 7: Flavor Flavor Flavor pledges support for US women's water polo team.

2459
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:51,400
Speaker 7: Who do you blame.

2460
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:56,240

2461
01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 2: a controversy. I'm glad he threw a support behind him,

2462
01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 2: but I blame him. He's too big. You know.

2463
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of happy he's doing that. I think he's

2464
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:04,960
Speaker 1: doing because his daughter plays on that water polo team,

2465
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 1: so good for him. Not only is he backing it,

2466
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's supporting it, you know, big time. You know,

2467
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: you could be a parent and do that, but he's

2468
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: doing that, and I'm happy for him. All Right, great show,
