00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: not switched to life changing wet extra large flushable dude

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: another day and now the number of people who have

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: made public their lack of voting for Bill Belichick for

20
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame has doubled. DJ First, we had

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: Vahi Gregorian chancing that he could say why he didn't

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: vote for Belichick. And now we have Indianapolis voter Mike

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Chapel roaning around telling us it's hard, club, it's hard

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: to get Chapel roon had hard though.

25
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard. Yeah.

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Look, the story that I really this is the best

27
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: part about sports is that I sometimes I'm just surprised

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: at the amount of run a story gets, especially in

29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: a week where the Super Bowl is coming up and

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: we have all kinds of crazy drama involving teams looking

31
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: for head coaches now looking for quarterbacks, that the Belichick

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: not getting in the Hall of Fame has just become

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: this stunning now four day odyssey of the wrongs that

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: were done to Belichick about not getting in the Hall

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: of Fame. And you know, and now Mike Chappell, who

36
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: covers the NFL Indianapolis done it for a long time,

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: made public today his reason for not voting for Bill Belichick.

38
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Right now, we had Grigoryan yesterday saying, hey, I voted

39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: for the players because of the way the vote is

40
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: set up. I had the five players in the senior category,

41
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: and they put Belichick in Craft in the same category.

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I thought the players should get in thought L. C.

43
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Greenwood should get in. I thought Kenny Anderson should get in.

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Roger Craig should get in.

45
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: So, Okay, you can.

46
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: Disagree with it saying they've been on the ballot or

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: had been under consideration right the part of thirty years.

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's why the Chapel stuff today is

49
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: a really big piece of evidence because now you know

50
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: exactly who the villain is in this story. Right after

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: we talk about Mike Chapel his reasons for voting not

52
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: voting for Belichick, you now know who the villain is. Okay,

53
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you know who the villain is. So Mike Chapel did

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: a big saying, hey, I'm one of the Belichick eleven

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: right or thirteen whatever it is it didn't vote for.

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: Well, but that's saying, don't we don't know exactly how.

57
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Many, but I'd like to know the number just so

58
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: they can make money on it.

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: You know, Belichick eleven.

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, with all the pictures of their faces

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: on there, the Belichick green printin shirts. Immediate Yeah forget

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: like like you do like Oceans eleven, except you put

63
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the faces of those people on it.

64
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: Well, or even if we just know the number.

65
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: They can be shadow people around the table with their

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: thumbs down like their commonis and Gladiator.

67
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, it don't works.

68
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Sorkin could write the movie of the Belichick eleven

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of walking talks and Josh Lyman

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: is playing you know, and Bradley Whiffredy was Josh Lymon

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: and Westbig is playing a bunch of ca So I

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: mean you could do something right, yeah, showing like an

73
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,279
Speaker 1: incomplete like no go, you know, all these different.

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: Things to say no chance.

75
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: So it's great when you can identify the villain because

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: because so many people just seem to be upset at

77
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: everything that Belichick's not getting in right. But now after

78
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: this with Mike Chapel, you can easily see who the

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: villain is. He wrote a big reasoning for voting for

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Bob Craft and not voting for Bill Belichick. He voted

81
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: for Bob Craft because he thought and he reasoned out

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: Bob Craft's role in growing the NFL and what he

83
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: did was a bigger thing, and he wanted to put

84
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: Bob Craft in right, and Bob Craft went in. Now,

85
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: remember there's a very complex voting pattern which I think

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: when you get two paragraphs into seeing it explained, you

87
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: just tune out, going Okay, I I really you lost

88
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: me there in the side. Well, when you vote, there's

89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: three voters, and you can you rank your voting, and

90
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: it's just so incredibly complicated that number one. That should

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: be a sign for the NFL that they need to

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: they need to fix that. But just so, it's a

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: very complicated voting pattern, and you can't vote for everybody.

94
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: To your point about Ocean's eleven, you either in or out? Right, Now,

95
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: can we put in another guy? Can we put in

96
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: another guy? I think we need another guy, one more,

97
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: one more. All right, we'll put in one more. So

98
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: he says that I voted for Craft because he wanted

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: to put Craft in, and then also talked about how

100
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Spygate was a thing for him, and you know, mentioned

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: to flate Gate a little.

102
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: Bit, but Spygate was a big deal.

103
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: And he still said at the end, I don't think

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: that Belichick is going to be kept out. He'll probably

105
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: get in next year. And that was his reasoning for

106
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: how he voted the way he did. Now, he didn't

107
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: say if he's going to vote for Belichick again next year,

108
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: but he did say I think Belichick's going to get

109
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: in next year. So now that he says this, okay,

110
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: now we've had two people say why, and they've covered

111
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: the reasons. So now we can really look at the

112
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: villains of why Belichick if you think Belichick was wrong

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: by not getting in, and just like a just like

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: an Agatha Christy movie, there's a lot of blame to

115
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: go around. The most blame and the biggest villain is

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: the process. Okay, because you can't simply vote for the

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: players you think that we'll get in, and are they

118
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: getting enough votes? Because unlike Major League Baseball, where here's

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: your ballot and you mark the players and you count

120
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: the votes, you have to get certain number of votes

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: and you vote in people, it's a little bit easier. Well,

122
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: and they're players, they're all players. It's a little bit easier.

123
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: The NFL has an incredibly complex vote. And again read

124
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: about if you want to just search online how does

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: the voting go for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

126
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: and try to follow it. After two paragraphs, you're gonna go, okay,

127
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand.

128
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Just know that you can't vote for everybody. You have

129
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: to vote for people.

130
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: You could have five people that you think are incredibly

131
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: valuable and should be Hall of famers, can't vote for all.

132
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, right, is that three of them

133
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: are players, one's a contributor, and one's a coach.

134
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: Yet you're supposed to rate them against him. Why are

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: in the same category again, Like that makes no sense.

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: Like if you tell me I've got I've got five players,

137
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: and I got to pick three.

138
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: Of those, you know what?

139
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: They're all players, yeah, and then I debate their impact

140
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: versus Hey, Robert Kraft's responsible for this becoming a thirty

141
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: billion dollar a year business.

142
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's kind of more important than the rest of

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 2: these guys.

144
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Right, So understand that the majority of what's to blame

145
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: is the process.

146
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: Because we have now heard three people and you one.

147
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Because if you listen to the show, you heard from

148
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Jason Cole pro Football Hall of Fame voter who joins

149
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: us every week, and he made sure the first thing

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: he told us was here, let me just explain the

151
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: process to you. And again when he's explaining it, after

152
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: like twenty seconds, like my eyes started to glaze, like, Okay,

153
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I guess, like that's just how it goes right, it's

154
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: when a process is that bad, Okay, let let's make

155
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: let let's make sure that that's what streamline. Then you

156
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: had Gregory and yesterday say the same thing, the process.

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't vote for everybody. I wanted to put the

158
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: players in the Hall of Fame first, I know Belichick's

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna get in at some point. And then you had

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the same thing today with with Chapel saying, hey, I

161
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: voted for Bobcraft. I wanted to make sure he got in.

162
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: And then on the second side, the second part was okay,

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: spygate was a big deal for me. Now of the voters,

164
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: what we know so far right of the voters.

165
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: It will come out.

166
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Any voter who has talked about the process, and this

167
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: is people that voted for Bill Belichick, they have all

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: brought up one of the first things they want to

169
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: tell you is, let me explain the process to you.

170
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: So the number one villain is the process. Right, If

171
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: you're mad at anything that Belichick doesn't get in, get

172
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: mad at the process because probably would have had enough

173
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: votes around it. If you had a guy like Gregorian yesterday, who,

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: if he had enough votes, would have voted for Belichick.

175
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: I want if he could seem like if I could

176
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: have voted for the players and Belichick, I would have

177
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: voted for but I couldn't do it because for some reason, stupidly,

178
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: they're all together. So the number one thing, And if

179
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: you want to talk about fixing a problem, if you

180
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: think there's a problem, is that, Okay, let's just address

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: this part of it. Why is the voting so complex?

182
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Why is it limited the way it does? Why do

183
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: you put people in certain categories the way? Why do

184
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: you make that so difficult when the whole process is

185
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: fifty people in a room and it's a debate, like

186
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: it's a jury room, you know, like all right, we're

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: gonna take this to the jury. So number one, that's

188
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. And if you want to fix the problem,

189
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: fix the voting process. So you can be mad at

190
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: people for not voting, but fix the process. Yeah, and

191
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: I think it becomes a very good thing that it happens,

192
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: because it won't happen again because it's an obvious one.

193
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: This is not a well maybe maybe not.

194
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: The idea of yeah, he'll get in next year, to

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: me is the worst reasoning of it all, Like the

196
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: is he a hall of fame or is he not? Yeah,

197
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: because if you're gonna tell me, out of eleven, thirteen,

198
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: twenty seven, how already people did vote for him, because

199
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: that's the fun part of it as well.

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: No, I voted for him. Like all the anonymous polling

201
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: is is.

202
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: That we still don't know Bill Pollyan's percentage of vou

203
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: means if he voted him because he read a statement

204
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: as if he were under bright lights. Simple witch was

205
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: coming after him yesterday. Why they verified him, Like, I know,

206
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe you I voted for him. I am

207
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: ninety five percent sure that I voted for him. Ninety

208
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: five I am. You know what, who can remember? It

209
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: was so long ago.

210
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

211
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I think I voted for when you went an extra

212
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: extra step and tried to claim that he went to

213
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and said, hey, verify my vote,

214
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: which again I think now he does protest a bit

215
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: too much, but neither you know there at this point,

216
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it's a an indictment on how this comes to pass

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: when you've got some of the most staunch rivals and

218
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: heated you know, folks that wanted to tear him apart

219
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: and went after the Patriots that immediately just go yeah,

220
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do? I mean acknowledge it,

221
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: but say, yeah, how do you keep him out of

222
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? The other thing, the other thing

223
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: to be mad at, right, if you want to talk

224
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: about the blame, right, this is a hot take the

225
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: other So the process number one, that would that's seventy

226
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: percent of the other thirty percent you'll be mad at,

227
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: be mad at yourself because clearly, when you see the

228
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: voters and you hear them talk about things, it's generally

229
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: not a big deal to them. If a guy gets

230
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: in the first time, or the guy gets in the

231
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: next year, you're still a Hall of fame, right, That's

232
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: the whole thing.

233
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter.

234
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: If you get in the first aig, you're still a

235
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Hall of fame. They don't say that about you still

236
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: a Hall of famer. Clearly they don't really put much

237
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: stock into They want to try to get all the

238
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: right people into the Hall of Fame.

239
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Right.

240
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: So so when you step back for a second and

241
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: see all the voters, that go okay. Because Jason Cole,

242
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: who joined us, talks about how he's already looking at

243
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: guys like Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. When are they

244
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: going to get in when they need the cycle to

245
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: come in. Yeah, they're looking at how do we do

246
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: this in the next few years. How do we make

247
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: sure all the best players get in in the next

248
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: few years so they don't really I mean, yeah, you

249
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: would think that a guy like Belichick would get it

250
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: in on the first ballot. You'd like to think that,

251
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: but when you make the situation the way it is,

252
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: they have to get a little creative with their votes. Okay,

253
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: I want to make sure Roger Craig gets and this

254
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: is his last chance. Belichick can get in next year.

255
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Be mad at yourself if you're med how is not

256
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: a first ballot Hall of Famer. Okay, he's going to

257
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: get in. He's going don't worry about Bill Belichick will

258
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer probably next year.

259
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: He's going to get in.

260
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: But be mad at yourself because the people that actually

261
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: have the responsibility of voting for the Hall of Fame

262
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: are thinking a bigger picture. It's not just one year.

263
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Every year we vote for the best people and that's it, right.

264
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: If that was what it was, that's a different story.

265
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: But it's okay, who's this year Who does that leave

266
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: for next year? What does that leave for the veteran?

267
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: Who do we need to group together? How do I

268
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: vote here? It's a complex procedure. It's not just where

269
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: these guys just hang it on the beach with three

270
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four days and then show up one day.

271
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to argue for forty five minutes. We're gonna

272
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: have lunch, and that's done.

273
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: No igree, I agree to it to a point, right,

274
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: And like here, I've got my giant wall and I'm

275
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: putting my grid together of the next five years of

276
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: my voting patterns based on first years of eligibility and

277
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: everything else. And obviously the change with coaches was last

278
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: year when they changed the bylaws and made it so

279
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 3: you only had to sit out a year, So that

280
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: that changes the math a little bit. So you could

281
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: argue to some degree, it's unfair to the Shanahan's home

282
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: grins and other coaches of Tom Coughlin and his red

283
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: face waiting tip for their chance at the DAIS. So

284
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: I get it, you know, And you now have this

285
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: inane thing of five people, one contributor, one coach, three players,

286
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: But you're also still I think the charge is to

287
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: get the best people in and what I always fear,

288
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 3: and look, I'm not wishing ill on anybody, clearly. I

289
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: just watched Steve McMichael be inducted when he was on

290
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: a hospital bed in his final days. His numbers didn't

291
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: change over thirty years. His impact on the game didn't

292
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: change in thirty years. It's a thing I argued and

293
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: stumped for for years. Yes, partially the Bears bias. The

294
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: other is you're watching guys waltz in year after year.

295
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: You know the human side of it, the mortality. And

296
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 3: Jimmy Johnson was arguing that with the coaches out of

297
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 3: it to a degree, which is why he was happy

298
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: it went to the one year. But life, life comes

299
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: at you fast, man. So whenever you say that, yeah,

300
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: we'll get around to that guy, I think that's some

301
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: bad reasoning, right.

302
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: And like I said, it's that and that's why that's

303
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 2: the faulty. The fault.

304
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: The main villain is the process. Second thing, understand that

305
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: because of that, this is what happens. This is what happens, Larry,

306
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: this is what happens. So there's your blame. You want,

307
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: you want who your villains are. There's your villains for

308
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Look, can we get some more? Look inward, Oh,

309
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: we'll get more villainshop. Yeah, we need a whole cavalcade

310
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080

341
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,840

00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: we reach the higher ground. Have you ever wiped with

350
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered if this

351
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: as good as it gets? It's not switched to life

00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,040

355
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback this offseason, there is a forty million dollar

356
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: quarterback available.

357
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, I love that. Now.

358
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: How sites like Yahoo and search engines when you scroll

359
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: through stories and you get the story that just says

360
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: Jets predicted to sign two hundred million dollar quarterback in

361
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: off season and you know it's it's it's Kirk Cousins,

362
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, stoiler Dodgers projected to trade for

363
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar former three time All star, right, like, oh, it's.

364
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: Insane, but they know what the algorithm is. They get

365
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: you to glick. What famous Starlin was this guy seeing it?

366
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 3: They'd been married for twenty seven years. But yeah, sure.

367
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: So multiple reports today the Athletics saying that the Falcons

368
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: will release Kirk Cousins in early March after they restructure

369
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: his contract. Gonna be owed sixty eight million dollars. He's

370
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: on the roster of March thirteenth, So by March thirteenth,

371
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. Yeah, So if you need a

372
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: quarterback this offseason, Kirk Cousins will.

373
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Be available for you.

374
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: Just got to wait another month and a half and

375
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: you can get Captain Kirk.

376
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: He can be yours. He can finally come to the Jets.

377
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, after all these years, he could

378
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: finally make it way there.

379
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 6: All right.

380
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I'll tell the guy you know,

381
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: to beat it, because all you did was use the

382
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Jets four years ago for leverage.

383
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: So screw that.

384
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this guy's already he's still playing. He's

385
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 3: already in the Hall of Fame. Football business done. I'm

386
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: done with you. But honestly, I'm kind.

387
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm just man on Kirk Cousins, like that ship is sailed,

388
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: all right, Like, yeah, you were okay. He was okay

389
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: enough when he stepped in last year for Michael Pennick junior,

390
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: and he was just okay. This is not Kirk Cousins

391
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: middle of his run with Minnesota. This is Kirk Cousins

392
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: in his late thirties where I don't want to get stuck.

393
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: And this is why, Because I'll tell you the two

394
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: guys to go get this offseason, and I'm gonna give

395
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: you even a hot take on the two guys i'd

396
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: go get, right, is that you go get Kirk Cousins.

397
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Is he gonna show up and be great? Or is

398
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: he gonna show up and be somewhat serviceable to I

399
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: don't know right right now, I'm thirty seven. He turns

400
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight before the season will kick go no way?

401
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: How old is Kirk Cousins? Thirty seven in a row? Yeah?

402
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Okay, now go no good? Yeah he's gonna be thirty

403
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: eight artists. So you go get Kirk Cousins. And what

404
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: are you gonna do if he has a year? You're

405
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna be the Steelers. Where are the Steelers right now? Well,

406
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: they had no succession plan, they had nothing going on.

407
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: So where are they now? Mike McCarthy shows up and says, yeah,

408
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: I'd love Aaron.

409
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers to come back. And how are you on Aaron

410
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 2: Rodgers coming back?

411
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: If you're the Steelers, you're eh n, you're stuck. Well,

412
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: but your hell got him. You're happy because the rest

413
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: of the AFC has shown time and again they don't

414
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Denver in theory had a good thing.

415
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Now you got a coach breaking hippo.

416
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: Laws in theory and killing off his quarterback, saying, wait.

417
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: Do you see what I do at quarterback? Bow Nicks?

418
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: You got that the only team you trust right now

419
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: is the Patriots and Drake may still turns the ball over.

420
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: So if you're the Steelers, like we're a playoff team

421
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: and nobody's any better.

422
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: Than we are, didn't we have enough of the conversation.

423
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: The Steelers are a playoffs and yeah, that's as far

424
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: as it goes for them. If you had Kirk, you

425
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: had Aaron Rodgers, And look at the Steelers the last

426
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: few years.

427
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: What have they done?

428
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Every year it's been we're gonna restart a quarterback and

429
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: just try to get by. Where would the Steelers be

430
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: if they had actually drafted a guy that they made

431
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: it with that they took Kenny Pickett, and I feel

432
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: like it scarred them so much that we can't draft

433
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: another quarterback. We just got to go for guys that

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: are already in the league that are at the end

435
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: of their careers, like Justin Fields or Russell Wilson and

436
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, because you can't build from year to year

437
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: when you're trusting a thirty eight thirty nine year old quarterback.

438
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: Right the Jets thought they could with Rogers, clearly they couldn't. Okay,

439
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: let's go in another direction, and the direction was worse

440
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: because they you know, they just went for justin Fields.

441
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: So you're at this point now, if you go get

442
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, you are well, he'll kind of hold the

443
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: fort for a year. It's not gonna be great. We

444
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: know what we're getting from him. He's not someone that

445
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: can suddenly flash and we're gonna be in the same

446
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: position next year.

447
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: What do we do.

448
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: Do we go get another quarterback, do we try to

449
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: do it, or do we go back with where we

450
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: run it back with Kirk Cousins. And you are paralyzed

451
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: with indecision because it could be worse. It's not gonna

452
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: get any better, and you need to make bold decisions

453
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: if you're moving on a quarterback. Right, So, Kirk Cousins, Yeah,

454
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: it doesn't throw me anymore.

455
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't. One of the teams that still needs

456
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: a quarterback.

457
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: And we can go through the list of the obvious,

458
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: and then there's a couple others where you still have

459
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: rumors of trades and whatever else. But it's to that

460
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: point of all right, we're just gonna keep swimming in

461
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: mediocrity at best or remain a bottom feeder at worst. Right, Okay,

462
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: Arizona gets rid of Kylamur. Great, you've got Jacoby Brissett there. Okay,

463
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: you already have a placeholder who makes no money. Kirk

464
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: isn't coming cheap, right, and that's one thing we've seen.

465
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: He'll figure out a way to finesse someone for a

466
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: bunch of money. It just should not be your team

467
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: because you're not getting that extra cornerback you need, you're

468
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: not getting an extra pass rusher, offense, veen linement, et cetera.

469
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: And he did nothing to distinguish himself. Now, obviously Drake

470
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: London missed sometimes. Kyle Pitts finally emerged for part of

471
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: the season, but he's still he's a jag jagplus. We'll

472
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: call him a jag plus. But and you had Jehan

473
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: Robinson who's all world. But you look at what his

474
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: final run and they won enough games down the stretch,

475
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: and he say, well, they look at they played well

476
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: enough to win. No, the defense was pretty good. They

477
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: were playing in a bad, mediocre, tepid division, right, because

478
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay fell back to the back, Carolina was just

479
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: good enough to win the three way tie break. And

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: here we are so going in on Kirk Cousins that

481
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: he's the break glass in case of emergency when your

482
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: guy gets hurt. So if suddenly Matthew Stafford really does

483
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: need a bachiotomy for a week, one guess what that,

484
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: I'll call Kirk Cousins. Until then he can sit and

485
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: let the market do what it will. Now again, I'm done.

486
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm done with Kirk Cousins.

487
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, you're still mad he jilted you, though there's still

488
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: a little bit.

489
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: I'd be a little bit.

490
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: I'd be madder if I thought that he was still

491
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: really good, or if he actually had done something instead

492
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: of just hey, you threw some touchdowns and now look

493
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: where you are.

494
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

495
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: The two guys I go out and get this offseason,

496
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: wait till I give you. We'll give you a hotel.

497
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: Let's go.

498
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: The two guys I go get are Malik Willis and

499
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. And not only do I get go after

500
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: those two. If I'm a team that needs a quarterback,

501
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: I go get both of them. Okay, now why do

502
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: I like Malik Willison mac Jones? Both of them flashed

503
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: this year. Mac Jones played extremely well when the Niners

504
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: were down all kinds of playmakers, right, they had nobody

505
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: and still mac Jones made that offense. Hum, right, brock

506
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: Perty's the guy. Now he came back played extremely well.

507
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,239
Speaker 1: But mac Jones made that offense go. So you know,

508
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: just like we say for all the quarterbacks, there's a

509
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: system for everybody. So Mac Jones, you know, he played well.

510
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: Malik Willis stepped in for Jordan Love, he played extremely well.

511
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: I want guys that have the good pedigree because I

512
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: know if they have a good pedigree, there's a reason

513
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: for it and you can get them to a really

514
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: good level. Right, Malik Willis and Mac Jones at both

515
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: first round picks. So you know, with that being your base,

516
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: you are going to get players that were evaluated well

517
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: by the NFL coming out of college that you know

518
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: they have the talent, they have the makeup. We think

519
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: they can be star quarterbacks in the NFL. Right now,

520
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: it hasn't worked for them, but like we said, some

521
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: guys it takes a while to find their team. Took

522
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold seven years to find a place to go,

523
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: and now the guys in the bleep in Super Bowl.

524
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: So Willis and mac Jones now these are guys you're

525
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna go get. I go get both of them, because

526
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: first of all, it's really cheap. I can go out

527
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: and for twenty twenty five million dollars and a fourth

528
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: round pick, get Malik Willis and Matt Jones. Great, because

529
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: mac Jones has contract with the Niners, right, the two

530
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: year eight million dollar deals is getting paid four million

531
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: for next year. You can trade probably a fourth round

532
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: pick for mac Jones. Maybe if you really want them,

533
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: you move it up to a third round pick if

534
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: you have a couple of third round picks. But mac

535
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: Jones is available, right, they're not going to hold him

536
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: back from being a starting quarterback. They've talked about moving on.

537
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: They can go get Kirk Cousins to come in, so

538
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: you can go get mac Jones. Malik Willis is gonna

539
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: be out there and you can say, hey, I'll give

540
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: you two year fifteen million, two year twenty something like that,

541
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: guarantee you twelve million dollars the first year whatever you

542
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: want to give him. And you can even say, you

543
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: guys are both coming in. It's going to be a

544
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: quarterback derby. And while in theory you would say, oh,

545
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about that I'd wanted a place where

546
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to go be a quarterback. Well, do you

547
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: want to go be a quarterback where they're just gonna

548
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: go get somebody else at some point and be a

549
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: bridge guy for a year, or do you want to

550
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: go someplace where you can win the job, and even

551
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: if you lose the job, do you really think you're

552
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: not gonna play at some point? So, Malik Willison and

553
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: Mack Joons ai, Yeah, I don't want to compete, But

554
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: if you compet, Let's say mac Jones loses the gag,

555
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: you really think Mac Jones isn't gonna play at some

556
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: point during the season. If Malik Willis is great, right,

557
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: mac Jones, But then Mac Jones be a f agent

558
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: after this year and find someplace else. But chances are

559
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: these guys are still available for a reason.

560
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: And you know that even if I lose the derby,

561
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 2: I will play at some point. Right.

562
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: None of these guys have played a full year in

563
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: the NFL in a while Molik Willis hasn't. So this

564
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: is what I do. If I'm a team and I

565
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: sell them on, come in compete, and now you've solved

566
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback position. Maybe for a couple of years. You

567
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: have two guys pretty good pedigree. Maybe you find the

568
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: system for them because now that's a very popular thing,

569
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: and they know, Okay, I have a chance to play

570
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: this year. Even if I lose the quarterback derby in camp,

571
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: I will play. And if I play, well, guess what

572
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: team's gonna sign me to a big contract and to

573
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: let the other guy go?

574
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: And I think that's gonna be me. I gotta dig

575
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: that you went full joker.

576
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: You broke the pool too, and he said, okay, make

577
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: it quick, so they had, you know, a rapid expansion.

578
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: I do like it.

579
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: The Malik Willis is curious that. I wonder if he

580
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: doesn't get a deal like Daniel Jones did, but maybe

581
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: with the second year option on it or something where

582
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: you're in that fifteen to.

583
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: Twenty million dollar range.

584
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: Hell, it might even be in Indianapolis before it's all

585
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 3: said done, as he recovers from an injury. But you

586
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 3: talk about pedigree, it's not just the first round pick.

587
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 3: They were also in pretty stable, good environments. It's not

588
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: often you get to come to market and come through

589
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: a trade scenario. In Willis's case, unrestricted free agent done

590
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: with his four year five zero point eight million dollar

591
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: deal or whatever that was. And then you're looking at

592
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: mac Jones, who's had a couple of stops but is

593
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: on the books pretty cheaply here for twenty twenty six.

594
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: But they both come from the Shanahan and Laflour. Now

595
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 3: you can decide how much you love or don't love

596
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: either of them, but their reputation in the NFL circles

597
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: and consistency of at least being viable contenders, Now what

598
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: they do once they're actually, you know, faced with down

599
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: in distant situations. This year San Francisco gets a little

600
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: bit of the hall pass of the number of people

601
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 3: that were hurt.

602
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: But for Green Bay, I guess you could do that

603
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: with Micah Parsons, but the offense was fully intact as

604
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: he took over there. But you're with Lafleur and you've

605
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: seen what he can do as a runner, as a

606
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: passer cannon for an arm and you could take your shot.

607
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: Now.

608
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: It's it's also incumbent upon you know them and their

609
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 3: agents as they're mulling offers, because Willis is going to

610
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: get a number of offers, would be my guess, right,

611
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 3: because you know you don't have anybody else in the

612
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: unrestricted class that he's really vying against. Everybody else either

613
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: has a cost or are so far down the path

614
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: that you're.

615
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Going Yeah, no, no, no, I'll play ass. So let's

616
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: let's let's find our gem in day three. But yeah,

617
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: it's it's fun monopoly money for you and I. But

618
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: fund dominoes to fall and Captain Kirk would be a

619
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: distant third in any of this. Those again, I go

620
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,400

Speaker 2: Sixers beat the Kings one thirteen to one eleven. Again.

725
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: Embiid one of the more interesting names to follow as

726
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: we get close to the trade deadline, like all of

727
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: a sudden the early season, I'm only playing twenty minutes

728
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: on this I'm that okay, that seems we have gone away,

729
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: but ah, you know, I all the honest talk, But Embiid,

730
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: we get close to the deadline, I'm not gonna be

731
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: surprized if suddenly, Hey guess what, everybody winners of four

732
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: of five and in those games thirty three, forty six,

733
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: thirty six, twenty nine.

734
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: And thirty six. The forty six was an overtime game.

735
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: But either way that you've gotten that minute level up

736
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: into the mid thirties with some regularity.

737
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: Because I ask you, this.

738
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: Is Joel Embiid playing out of his shoes right now

739
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: because he's upset, he's motivated, he's back with the team.

740
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: He realizes it. Boy, Maxi and Edgecomb could wind up

741
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: being the big one too. I'm not gonna be Lebron

742
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: and get pushed to the side or is he saying, Hey,

743
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm showcasing myself a little bit of both.

744
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, there's something to be said for the fact

745
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: that Edgecomb had five tonight.

746
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: Well not everybody.

747
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: When when when one guy's got forty and no other

748
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: guy's got thirty, seven's life point, that means that they

749
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: as a duo pushed him to the side.

750
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Hey, Rook, sit the one and took seven shots.

751
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, anything he gonna do, you're just

752
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: gonna stand there and keep clapping for the ball.

753
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: That I that's what you're gonna have.

754
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: But certainly the you know, the motivation and trying to showcase,

755
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: much like we talked about with your guy Karl Anthony

756
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 3: Towns that every time there's a new back back of

757
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 3: the fish Rap report, suddenly he's got a twenty rebound game.

758
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: Tadda Joel Embad much the same. Hey, look, I ramped

759
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: up my minutes. Get me out of here. So speaking

760
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: of Giannis, Okay, now, obviously this is the big story

761
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: in spoutside of the Super Bowl. As we count down

762
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: to the trade deadline, Giannis is likely going to get

763
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: dealt later or now. Jockeying for position on him, whether

764
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: it's the Warriors, whether it's the Knicks, whether it is

765
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: the Heat, whether it's the Knicks, whether it is the Wolves,

766
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: whether it's the Knicks. Carl Anthony Towns is upset. It's suddenly,

767
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's being mentioned in all these

768
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: trade talks and like, dude, be a professional, play better defense,

769
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: and maybe it wouldn't try to trade you.

770
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: But it's hard.

771
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you uproot your life and family and

772
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: friends that are your support system and a home that

773
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: you've come to love.

774
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: There in New York. Maybe you got a favorite Swarma guy.

775
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Whatever the case may be, it upsets

776
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: the apple cart.

777
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: And let's face it, if you win in New York,

778
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: you'll never pay for Swarm again.

779
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: So first we save the world, then we get Shwarm.

780
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 2: That's true.

781
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: So with the Yanna story getting out, his mom Veronica

782
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: Elvis Costello.

783
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: Song Veronica sits in her favorite chair.

784
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: Jannis's mom, Veronica shared a throwback photo on Facebook after

785
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: Yannis went, I ate the public is the demand is

786
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: out there?

787
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 2: We know the team's talking to him.

788
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: She went and put a photo on Facebook of Yannis

789
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: standing on the court in Miami. Well then home of

790
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: the Heat. I mean she didn't put a caption in

791
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: her post. She didn't say anything about it. Oh, wouldn't

792
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: be nice to go here? Just a picture of Jannis

793
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: in the three to zho five on the Heat's court.

794
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: See that's pretty good because I can one up you. Okay.

795
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: Jannis and his family have reportedly spent twenty one million

796
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: dollars on real estate in the Greater Chicago Land area.

797
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: Ah.

798
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: Now, certain things are they signs? Are they not right?

799
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: Because you see stuff like this all the time as

800
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: you talked about with the with real estate spending.

801
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: Okay, are there signs? Are they buy a.

802
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: House in a depressed area realizing that they probably is

803
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: going to be worth double in ten years?

804
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: Yes?

805
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: Is this a sign that the Heat could end up

806
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: being his preferred destination? And I will tell you one percent. Yes,

807
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: Jannie is way more calculated than you think he is.

808
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: Right.

809
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: We always say Lebron's the most calculated player in the NBA.

810
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: Nothing gets output out there, sure unless he wants a

811
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: message out there. For whether it's a picture and working

812
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: out in Cleveland, Clippers, whatever it is. When Lebron says

813
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: does something, there is something behind it. Jannis is the

814
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: same way he's just nicer about it, right, because he's

815
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: taken this and done a masterclass the last year of

816
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: greasing the skids for his exit from Milwaukee to get

817
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the least amount of blame possible. Sure, right, because we

818
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the offseason where Hey, Nixon,

819
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: Bucks are talking about Yannis couldn't make it happen? Okay,

820
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, Hey story that his agent's talking

821
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: to the Bucks. Is this the right place for his future?

822
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: Is it someplace else? Okay, getting used to that, and

823
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: then in the span of a couple of days, he

824
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: boos the fans, right, gives him thumbs down, and then

825
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: rips his teammates after a lack of bad effort.

826
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: Right, So I am.

827
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: Now going back at the fans and I'm ripping my teammates.

828
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: And now four days after that, it's I want to

829
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: move on, and it's time. He is extremely calculated. None

830
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: of this is happening because this is something that Janni says,

831
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: gotten emotional about. Think about this timeline of where we're

832
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: at and how he has chosen right before the deadline

833
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: for the thumbs down and the dressing down of his teammates. Right,

834
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: he knows exactly what he's doing. His mom knows what

835
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: she's doing. By putting this picture on Facebook of Jannis

836
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: in Miami, this is not Oh I heard about that,

837
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: so I decided to put that on Facebook. Yeah, it

838
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: doesn't just doesn't work that way. Yeah, there's a lot

839
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: of things at work. So is this a sign one

840
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent if on Miami. I'm feeling great about my

841
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: chance of getting Yannis after this, because this is how

842
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: you make signs. This is how you give a nod

843
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: to people that may, hey, come after me. Let's make

844
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: it work, Because honestly, I wouldn't doubt if Yannis and

845
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks are working together to make this happen. Instead

846
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: of well, Yannis, you don't want to be here, blank

847
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: you We're gonna get the best trade and you're gonna

848
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: like it. I would not be surprised because of how

849
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: Yannis is that they're working together behind the scenes for

850
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: the maximum value that they can get for him and

851
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: where he wants to go. That wouldn't surprise me. Well,

852
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: and as an organization, we talked about it with Rick

853
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: Buker a little bit last night, and you and I

854
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: extended the conversation. You don't want to be the bad

855
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: guy neither side. Right, the Bucks as an organization, this

856
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: is the kid that you drafted.

857
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: You took the.

858
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: Shot on in the middle of the first round, skinny

859
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: kid from Greasy nobody could pronounce his name. Hell, people

860
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: struggled with Yannis, right, I mean that that was a

861
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: bridge too far from any year. And then all of

862
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: a sudden they blow up on the biggest stage and

863
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: he's competing for title.

864
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's a whole other world. But you got thirteen

865
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: years out of this marriage, right, You had a good run.

866
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: You got a bunch of first round exits. Maybe helped

867
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: usher Budenholzer out the door a couple of years ago.

868
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 3: He's gone through the Doc Rivers thing. And how much

869
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 3: acrimony there really is, I don't know, but it seems

870
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: like both are ready that it that it's time for

871
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 3: the next iteration. Bucks don't want to tank their organization

872
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: by making it bad blood and Giannis wants everybody to

873
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: love him.

874
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: I feel great if I'm the heat I feel bad

875
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: if I'm the Knicks. Unfortunately, I feel bad if I'm

876
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: the Warriors. That this is what's gone out there, because

877
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: this is absolutely assigned coming up next? What two NFL

878
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders are happy to be flying under the

879
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: radar this week because stuff has happened really in back
