Speaker 1: All right, we saw the Texans thump the Dallas Cowboys

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: tonight and I got my draft Kings bet right. Houston

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: minus four and a half to cover in the first half.

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: First play of the game was actually a touchdown ineligible

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: man downfield. Screw that up, but they scored Joe Mixon

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: on a big run after that to take a lead.

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: Never look back. I mean. The first thing is c J.

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Stroud has struggled for about five weeks, and you can

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: tell why he's got a bad offensive line and golf

42
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: they call it the yips. He lets go of the

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: ball too quickly. I don't worry that he's got, you know,

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: more interceptions now than he did all of last year,

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: because when he had Stefan Diggs and Nico Collins healthy,

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: he was four and one. He's still undefeated in division.

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: He's four and four after the win over Dallas tonight.

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: In the rest of their games, I think the Houston

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Texans are fine. They're the Green Bay Packers of the AFC.

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: They're a year away. They need another draft. They're a

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: little bit thin. The Packers are a little young. Texans

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: are a little thin. They both have good young coaches,

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: really good young quarterbacks. They're just not ready to beat

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the Detroits or like the Buffalo's in Kansas City's. But

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: it's a good team. And I don't take anything away

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: from c J. Stroud. His comp was Jared Goff. Well,

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: if you go back to Jared Goff's third year in

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: the NFL that wasvey, his passer rating dip to like

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: mid eighties, high eighties, and so you know CJ doesn't

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: trust his protection. PFF has their O line at like

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty six twenty seventh. His top receiver, Stefon Diggs is out.

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Nico Collins came back tonight. He's been hurt. Nico Collins

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: is amazing. He went to Michigan. He was a southern

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: kid from I think Alabama went to Michigan. Productive, but

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: not a superstar in college, like mid thirties catches, and

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: they got him in the third round. And boy, he

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: is a hard guard. He is a hard guy to defend.

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: It it you know, you can tell c J. Stroud and

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: his comp is golf, so he's not a playmaker. He's

70
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: a sit in up pocket and throw darts. When Goff's

71
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: offensive line is great, Jared's great. His rookie year, c J.

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Stroud had a very good offensive line. He was outstanding.

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Goff and Stroud, those were the comps by scouts, and

74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: it was accurate. CJ moves a little better. But when

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: they don't have great protection, they rush things, they throw

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: more interceptions. They're just not as on point. And I

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: think that's c J. Stroud just needs better protection. He'll

78
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: be fine. I think the Jared Goff comparison's always been true.

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: And they have great protection. They're really special. You know,

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: it's interesting though watching the Cowboys. So the Cowboys right now,

81
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: if you go to the current NFL draft order, there's

82
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: five teams with two wins Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Las Vegas Giants,

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: and then there's four teams with three wins, the Jets,

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: New England, Carolina, and Dallas. Dallas is now at three

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: and nine, and so the advantage for Dallas is, Listen,

86
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: they have a chance to end up with just three

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: wins now with Cooper Rush. But they played Tommy DeVito

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: and the Giants on Thanksgiving, and if they win that game,

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and I think they will, that'll be their fourth win.

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: It'll take Dallas out of any shot for a first, second,

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: or probably third pick in the draft. It's not a

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: particularly strong draft, and they wouldn't take Shador Sanders anyway.

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: But what I was hold because if Dallas can get

94
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: into the top five, and they still have a shot

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: even if they beat the Giants, that would be four wins.

96
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: They also play Carolina. But if you're Dallas at this point,

97
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: this is why the New York Giants are not going

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: to go to Drew Locke. They're going to Tommy DeVito.

99
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: They'd rather not win games and the Giants have a

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: real shot because I think Jacksonville, Tennessee and Cleveland are

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: two talented. They'll win another game. If the Giants get

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: beat by Dallas, there's a real possibility they don't win

103
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: another game and they have the number one pick, and

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: they will absolutely draft Shadoor Sanders. So Dallas, I would

105
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: draft Shaeddoor Sanders, but I wouldn't sign Dack to a

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: long term contract. But Dallas isn't going to draft him.

107
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: There's some good players in this draft. The number two

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: pick I think will be Kelvin Banks. He's an offensive

109
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: tackle from Texas. Travis Hunter, a very explosive player from Colorado,

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: will go second or third. Mason Graham, the defensive tackle Michigan,

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: Will Johnson, the corner from Michigan. Will Campbell, the offensive

112
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: tackle from LSU. T Mac the wide receiver Arizona, really

113
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: big target, Southern California kid. He's really good player. Cam

114
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Ward is going to go somewhere in the top ten,

115
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: although I, you know, a little backyard football for me,

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: I wouldn't draft him that high. But it's not a

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: great draft. There's a lot of Mikhale Williams the defensive

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: the edge for Georgia. There's a lot of Georgia and

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Michigan guys in the top twelve, top fifteen. Not a

120
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: great draft. And listen, if I was Dallas and I

121
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: got a top five pick, I would move down because

122
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're close to Detroit, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Kansas City.

123
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't think their rosters close. I don't think one

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: player is going to solve it. But if I don't

125
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: think this is a good enough draft where people are

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: going to want to move up unless you have a

127
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: top five pick and maybe a top yeah, a top

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: five pick, and somebody wants cam Ward, who I think

129
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: is an okay prospect. I think shud Or Sanders is

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: a strong prospect, kind of in the Jade and Daniels class.

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, electric moving arm, very accurate. You know, he's

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: a winner. He was a winner first year in college.

133
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: He's a winner at Colorado. I mean, they're a really

134
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: good football team now that could win the Big twelve.

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: So you know, Dallas there is This is what happens

136
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: for the Giants who reached the Daniel Jones the Cowboys,

137
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: who have overpaid Dak had some injuries. I would strongly

138
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: consider the one thing about this draft. It's week at quarterback,

139
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: it's strong at wide receiver, and it's strong in the

140
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: first round on edge rusher. I would consider moving Micah Parsons.

141
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: You know, somebody's going to give you a first round

142
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: pick and have to pay him. But you know, there's

143
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of teams in this league that are close,

144
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: but they could use an elite edge rusher and mic

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: O unhealthy is that and you could go draft another

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: edge rusher and restart the clock on that position. And

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: there's several. Abdul Carter the edge rusher from Penn State,

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: it's a top ten pick again, Williams from Georgia, top ten,

149
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: twelve pick. But I think I think Dallas, you know,

150
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: they they have to have like a come to Jesus moment.

151
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: They're just not very good. I mean, you watch tonight.

152
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: You know Ceedee Lamb's an explosive player, but they know

153
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: their past protection is just okay. They have the weakest

154
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: running back root in the league. They have nothing after

155
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. Of note, they need a lot of help.

156
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Their corners are okay, not special in my opinion. So

157
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I think that's that's where Dallas is. It's not a

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: year in the NFL draft to want a quarterback, there's one,

159
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and I think you know, listen, Vegas and the New

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: York Giants both need one. I think Sam Darnold will

161
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: probably have a market, a decent market, because I think

162
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota is gonna I think they've got a chance to

163
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: sneak into the playoffs. They're just good enough. But Dallas

164
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: has a long way to go. Houston's gonna be fine.

165
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. They're gonna get better next year.

166
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: I like their coach, their quarterback, their front office, they

167
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: got some players. Their old lines just kind of a mess.

168
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: A lot of penalties, don't pass protect particularly well. You

169
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: saw it tonight. They don't pick up blitzes, they just

170
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: they just it's a bad unit. But but Dallas has

171
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: to really think long and hard. The downside a mediocre

172
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: draft like this year is the Cowboys would love to

173
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: trade down. This is why I believe they have to

174
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: have a top five pick because the people the only

175
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: players that people will trade up for is a Shadoor

176
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: Sanders or maybe a cam Ward. There's like there's like

177
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: one or two great tackles. There's four or five. I

178
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: think Mason Graham the defensive tackle for Michigan's really really special.

179
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: He's been unblockable by a single offensive lineman in college football.

180
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: You kind of have to double team him, so you know,

181
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: just it's it's interesting to see all these teams at

182
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the top of the draft. Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Vegas. You know,

183
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: you're kind of used to them, Jets, Carolina. Then all

184
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden you go, oh yeah, Dallas, Wow, Dallas.

185
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: But you watched the night there's nothing there, So you're

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: you're seeing something all through college and pro sports, and

187
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: it was very noticeable this weekend. You know, the Trump

188
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: dance by young NFL players, African American players, white players,

189
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: veteran players, Brock Bauers, the young tight end for Las Vegas.

190
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: But I was really you know, athletes have a sense

191
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: of humor. You know, it's a sport. It's a business,

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: but it's a sport, and you know, after you score,

193
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: you celebrate. I don't care what players do, I really don't,

194
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: but I did think it was interesting that in soccer,

195
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: United States men's national team star Christian Poolisic did the

196
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Trump dance. And the reason I think it's surprising is

197
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: that soccer tends to have a very young left leaning audience,

198
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: and when he did it, I thought, oh boy, there's

199
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,479
Speaker 1: going to be a meltdown. And regardless of where I've

200
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: always viewed myself really as a moderate independent. But you

201
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: can drive yourself crazy all you want. But the reason

202
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: the athletes are doing this is because it's really a quirky, weird,

203
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: odd dance. And every time Trump did it, it just

204
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: looks so outdated. And I think Trump sort of leans

205
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: into it now and knows people get a kick out

206
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: of it, and it's okay to take a deep breath.

207
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: And regardless of what you think of a politician, it

208
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: is a three second, four second dance. They're pro athletes.

209
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath, or you can go into therapy

210
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: for the next four years. And because you're side lost

211
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: and be miserable, you know. Sometimes I think in politics

212
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: the greatest advantage conservatives have is people watching the other

213
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: side melt down and look crazy and out of their mind.

214
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: It's just a dance, it's no big deal. It's three seconds.

215
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Athletes have a sense of humor. We're all going to

216
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: be okay on that. But it was noticeable to me

217
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: that when Poolisic did it, I thought, Oh, that's that's surprising.

218
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: You know, soccer players in the soccer community have always

219
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: felt a little European, kind of left leaning, young stylish.

220
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: That's what it's always felt like to me, you know,

221
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: the hipsters. I love. I love soccer. You know. I've

222
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: told the story before. My mom was British and when

223
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: I was a kid, really really young, I was probably

224
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: six years old, seven years old, my mom took me

225
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: to England and England was the Netherlands with Johann Crouve

226
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: a great soccer star, and England were the dominant kind

227
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: of teams in the world, and England had won a

228
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: World Cup back then. And my mom bought me a

229
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: little soccer set and I can remember playing with it

230
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: in the window ledge in England, Lancashire, in the middle

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: of England, where my mom was from. And so I

232
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I remember those I had these strong It's one of

233
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: the first memories of my life is playing with this

234
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: soccer game. And Netherlands wore orange, that's their country's color,

235
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: and it was on television. It must have been around,

236
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, the World Cup, because that's all my mom

237
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: and her twin brother, my late mother and her twin

238
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: brother Peter. That's all they you know, that was like

239
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: a big topic of conversation, and they went and got

240
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: me that soccer game. So I've always been and then

241
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: I moved to the Pacific Northwest, you know, I was

242
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: from there, the Seattle Sounders, the Portland Timbers, and then

243
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: I went there in my career. So I've always liked soccer,

244
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: especially the United States men's national team. But I didn't

245
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: look at the reactions of their fans when Polistic did that.

246
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: But I thought there's gonna be some melt founds over that.

247
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: And again, take a deep breath to four second dance.

248
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: People are just having fun. Did you know that feeding

261
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: been some concern consternation on where is the Shaq Barkley,

262
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Ernie Kenny Johnson show going to go now that Warner

263
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Brothers and TNT has lost the NBA and this was

264
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: going to be their last year with them. So over

265
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the course of I think it was late last week,

266
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: it was announced in the negotiation between the NBA and TNT,

267
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Adam Silver didn't want TNT involved in it. Long story,

268
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: mostly boring. The top executive for Warner Brothers just pissed

269
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: off Adam Silver and he no longer wanted him associated

270
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: with the league. And so basically they struck a deal

271
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: and ESPN is going to get the show, The Barkley

272
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Shack Show. I actually think it is significant because in

273
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: the regular season, that show is often more entertaining than

274
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: the games in a long NBA regular season, And I'm

275
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Mike Breen. I never understood breaking

276
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: up Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Mike Breen. I

277
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: thought at the time it was easily their strongest broadcast unit.

278
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. Probably political. Van Gundy had been

279
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: at times critical of the NBA, so it felt like

280
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Adam Silver stepped in and blew that up. And it's

281
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: happened before. I remember when David Stern was commissioner. I

282
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: had heard complaints that he wasn't happy with the I

283
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: forget the broadcaster one of the broadcasters on ABC ESPN

284
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: and David Stern had pressured ESPN to make changes. So

285
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: but I do think ESPN's NBA coverage for the last

286
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, what do they had the rights twenty twenty

287
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: two years. I love Breen, but it's just been a

288
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: revolving door of personalities and they've never really stepped up

289
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: and spent big money and got landed a superstar. And

290
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I think this will really cement. I mean, let's be honest,

291
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: for years and years, Monday Night Football was kind of

292
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: swimming in mediocrity. It's nothing against the broadcasters, but it

293
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: never felt as good as like al Michaels or you know,

294
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: the bigger broadcast teams. Jim Nantz and so Buck and

295
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Aikman have solidified Monday Night Football. They make it feel

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: big again. And for years, I just I felt like

297
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: it just it didn't feel as big as the Fox

298
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Game of the Week or the Sunday Night Football Game

299
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: of the Week, or the CBS Jim nance Romo Game

300
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: of the Week. ESPN felt like Number four and buckan

301
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: Akman have elevated it. And I think ESPN's pre and

302
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: postgame show has been really weak. And I mean I

303
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: mean the halftime shows like two minutes and commercials. I

304
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: mean they don't even care. They're just selling spots. So

305
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: I think this will make it more formidable like buckan

306
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: Akman do. It'll make it feel big. And I think,

307
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: if you're Adam Silver, NBC is going to have NBA,

308
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: ESPN's going to have NBA, and Amazon's going to have NBA,

309
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: but the incumbent is ESPN, and I think it's a

310
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: strong play. I think, you know, I love the business

311
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm in. I think Jimmy Bataro, who runs ESPN, has

312
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: taking big swings. I think Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Bucan Aikman,

313
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: Shaq Barkley, Jason Kelsey, Bill Belichick, those are big swings.

314
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: And I think is our business as the market's gotten

315
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: wider and wider and wider. It's harder to develop shows.

316
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: It's easier to go get widely recognized personalities. To put

317
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: a Nick Saban on a Game Day, and I think

318
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: he's been the perfect tonic on that show. Between all

319
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: their other casts, it just he just clicked with them,

320
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: and so I and the reason ESPN has done some

321
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: big game hunting, I mean they've really taken some big

322
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: swings is because for years and years they were swimming

323
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: in red with their streaming growth, you know, Disney Disney

324
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Plus and it was losing you know, four five billion

325
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: a year. Well they just turned a profit. This year,

326
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: they made a billion, and so this point forward, Disney's

327
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: going to be making four eight, twelve twenty billion dollars

328
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: a year in their streaming. So you know, underneath Disney

329
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: is ESPN. And even though cable television is probably got

330
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: six years left, seven years left from what I read,

331
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: Disney's now humming. So they're taking big swings and they're

332
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: going buying big name people as the market has become

333
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: very very wide, and it's just it's when people there's

334
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: so many platforms, there's so many options. I mean, people

335
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: are sitting on TikTok all day. To get attention, you

336
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: got to go take big swings, and you know, I

337
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: think that's what Shack and Barkley and Kenny and Ernie are.

338
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: I think that's arguably as good as any pre postgame

339
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: halftime show. I think Fox's Football Show and that show

340
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: are the two that really stand out to me anyway.

341
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320
