14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: the day after, but another day, more quarterbacks, more big

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: news in the National Football League. And now that we've

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: seen almost everybody land big story today, the Vikings are

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: the leaders for Kyle Murray. Now, I will tell you

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 1: this right now, they're not the leaders for Kyle Murray.

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: This is me just like a few minutes ago doing

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: the uh Max Crosby Detective. I think there are some

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: shenanigans going on. There's cold feet. Uh, there's only two

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: teams that need quarterbacks. Now two teams Vikings, Steelers. Now

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I should say this, two teams that need quarterbacks that

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: are going to get quarterbacks. Okay, because the Raiders eat

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Obviously they're gonna draft for Nando Mendoza. The

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: Browns eat a quarterback. But no, no, no, we're gonna We're

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with chadur and Deshaun Watson.

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 4: Just watch.

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 5: They got a lot of money wrapped up in that position.

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: That's it. Those are the only teams that need quarterbacks.

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: The Brown's are not in on anyone. And we know

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders are taking for Nando Mendoza. Right now, there's

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: still some quarterback. Now, Daniel Jones resigns with the with

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: the Colts today. We'll have more on that later on.

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: The Jets may wind up adding Carson. Yeah, but what

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: do you mean, Kyler Murray. There's only two places for him.

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, it's not as simple as

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: it seems. Okay, if he wanted to be a Viking,

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: he would be a Viking. We already know it's not

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of money, right because because of

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: the offset language in his contract. So it's not like

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you gotta worry about money. You're not gonna have to

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: worry about a length of a contract, not any of

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: that's unless maybe the A's are getting involved, going, hey, Kyler,

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: come on back. We can give you one point five

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: million to play baseball.

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: We'll give you that again. We'll give you a signing

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: bonus back.

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: If he wanted to be a Viking, who the Vikings

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: want to bring in competition for JJ McCarthy. Who's the

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: best quarterback out there? Kyler Murray? He was the best

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: quarterback out there a few days ago. He's still the

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback out there.

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 4: Now.

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: You have watched the positions dry up until now. There

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: are two destinations, Vikings and the Steelers. But the Steelers

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: are waiting for If Kyler Murray wanted to be a Viking,

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: he'd be a Viking by now. I will tell you

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: there is a better chance he winds up a Steeler

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: because what's going on with Pittsburgh right now. Well, Mike

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy's there, Aaron Rodgers clearly knows if he wants to play.

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Right at this point, you got to know if you're

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: coming back. I know you like the drama, but you

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: gotta know. Okay, But there's been nothing from Aaron Rodgers

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: coming back to start. He says, I've got no contract

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: offer from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers, I guarantee you

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: they're sitting there going, ooh, we could get Kyler Murray

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: for a million dollars. And Mike McCarthy is always liked

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. But how do we play this out with

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? He was our guy last year we got

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. I worked with him. I guarantee you,

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: as by my job as a really good NFL detective,

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: that what's happening right now is a big sorting things

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: out between the Steels, what they want to do with Rogers,

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: what he wants contract wise coming back, what they would

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: go to get Kyler Murray paying him less, Because right

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: now Kyler Murray is a huge option.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: For the Steelers.

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, because again, if he wanted to be

81
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: a Viking, he'd be a Viking. He'd be a Viking

82
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: for a year and one point three million, and let's go,

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: he'd be if that was really his preferred destination, he

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: would be there. But why why isn't he with only

85
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: two teams NY quarterbacks? I guarantee you the Steelers are

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: big time in play and maybe that's where Murray. But

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Murray wants to be known. Hey you're gonna sign me,

88
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: I'm you're not signing Aaron Rodgers. So right now I

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: think you are seeing both teams figure things out spending

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: time now because Rogers sounded the salvo last week and

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: while at first I thought this is Aaron Rodgers when

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: he says I don't have a contract in front of me,

93
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: meaning you're not gonna get me for free, probably what

94
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: he means, but also, hey, if you want me, let's

95
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: let's get you got to give me a contract. And

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't have one, what are the

97
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: Steelers thinking, guarantee you, it's do we pivot to Kyler

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Murray instead of Aaron Rodgers And they're making that decision now, tomorrow,

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Kyler Murray to the Steelers.

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Right now, that's the favorite, not Kyler Murray to the Vikings.

101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, right now in betting odds, it's still the Vikings.

102
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: And how that doesn't come to fruition and go beat

103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 5: out JJ McCarthy right, No matter what, love was there

104
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: in the building and if there's any reticence on the

105
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: part of the vikings, then they should all just be fired.

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: Now you've seen, while it's a small sample size, you've

107
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 5: had him for two years.

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: In the building.

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 5: And you know me, I'm a big believer of the well,

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 5: if we bring this guy in, we may lose him,

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: well then he's gone. Then he ain'ts your guy because

112
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: you know the intestinal fortitude the competitor is I can

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: beat this guy's ass and take this job, right, And

114
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: if he's not that guy, then well how much do

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 5: you want to hit your wagons to him long term? Anyway?

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: For the Steelers, you either keep Aaron Rodgers for one

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 5: more year, because that's really all it is, right, or

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: you decide, hey, Kyler Murray is still the guy. If

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: we get him out of Arizona and we take some

120
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: of the good and he gets back to where you

121
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: can go into turbo mode on occasion, that's a guy

122
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 5: that could be your long term guy, right. And he's

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: not far from perfect and far from blameless in everything

124
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: that went on in Arizona. But I don't know how

125
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 5: many guys are going in there and having the success

126
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: with the cavalcade of stars that they had as QB

127
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 5: as your quarterback coach, as your coordinator, head coach, and

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: the personnel that you've been hitched up with through these years.

129
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 5: The wild card and things is, you know, while Mendoza

130
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: is gonna get drafted first overall, they're still gonna bring

131
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: in a guy to be the veteran alongside. Now, yeah,

132
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 5: we're not bringing in Kyler Murray.

133
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: For that job.

134
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 5: It would seem to be you'd go to the veterans.

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 5: But look, Tom Bellisaro had one of those cryptic multiple teams, Like,

136
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: all right, does that just mean too or is there more?

137
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: Right to your point, it would make sense that it's

138
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: just hey, it's Pittsburgh in Minnesota. But is there one

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: of these teams with a young quarterback that maybe they're

140
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: not sure of or a place like the Raiders where

141
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: they don't want to put him on the field right

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: away that you would do the cheap, one year, one

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 5: point three million dollars deal and then say, okay, his

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: mendoes are ready. All right, we built the infrastructure and go.

145
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, the Pittsburgh side with McCarthy is interesting. Considering

146
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: the moves they've made, they've still got some cap space

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: to go back into the marketplace and add another piece

148
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: or two along the way. So, but Minnesota just seems

149
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: so predestined. So the fact that it's not done now

150
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 5: he wasn't officially released still today nothing else ended up

151
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 5: with the with the Falcons. Hey to are we're releasing you?

152
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

153
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Okay, the minute you tell me, I got to deal

154
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: with Atlanta. Oh, I mean okay, I mean, like, I mean, really,

155
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: if and if and if the Steelers wanted Aaron Rodgers.

156
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: They'd have them.

157
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: They've had them all right, They're not gonna They're not

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna sit Mike McCarthy. Now, Mike Tomlin will would sit

159
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: back and do this and say, hey, quarterbacks the least

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: important position on my team. I'll wait till the very end.

161
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy say, no, we kind of need a quarterback man,

162
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and obviously the connection with Aaron Rodgers, but they're not

163
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna wait till the end and not get a quarterback.

164
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: So that's why I bet you they're going, Hey, we

165
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: can come out of this thing with Kyler Murray. And

166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: again McCarthy's always liked, he's always said great things about him.

167
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray with the Steelers would finish that transformation of

168
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: an offense that was stuck in the in the nineteenth century,

169
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: because now you're suddenly going, Okay, think about your your

170
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: top five playmakers now with the with the Steelers, it

171
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: would be Kyler Murray a quarterback. You got DK Metcalf

172
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: and Michael Pittman at wide receiver, and now at running back.

173
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: When you have a now a a double shot at

174
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: running back, it's not just Jalen Warren showing up, going hey,

175
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: Jayleen Warret. No, you got Jalen Warren and Rico Dawdle.

176
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good, pretty dynamic one too. These top

177
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: five weapons are legit. This is not this is no

178
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: longer Hey, maybe we can squeak out a playoff appearance

179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: and win ten games and win the AFC North. This

180
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: is we have the top five playmakers at the positions

181
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: in the division, and now we can get back to

182
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: being the steel as long as we play good defense

183
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: like we normally do. This is now a dangerous offense

184
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray in that situation, that defense needs a

185
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: little more juice. They were not very good outside of

186
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: lot in terms of pass rush and the turnover rate

187
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: was down.

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: But the point is they're in position to go rest

189
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: control back of that division, right Baltimore is in a

190
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: world of hurt right now. Right even when they were

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 5: bringing in Crosby, we're talking about it going they're losing

192
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: a lot of bodies over there. Oh yeah, And and

193
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 5: part of the reason I believe DaCosta and everybody it's

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 5: not cold feet, whatever you want to term it. And

195
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 5: we talked about it a lot last night in full effect.

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: You can go find the podcast. It's the Wow, we

197
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 5: really need to shore things up. We'd kind of like

198
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 5: those first round picks back. And even though Hendrickson isn't

199
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 5: Max Crosby in terms of everything he does on the field,

200
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: he's still pretty damn good. Go get him, take him

201
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 5: away from Cincinnati. That's one fewer guy our quarterback of

202
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: the future has to avoid. Uh So we we look

203
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 5: at the the Murray integration would be a long term success, right,

204
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: low low cost year one. But what are you gonna do.

205
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 5: You're gonna go get Kirk Cousins or Aaron you or

206
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 5: you bring back Rogers.

207
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: He's young enough to be a guy. Change of scenery,

208
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: little bit better work ethic, all the stuff we thought

209
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: about him. He's with a quarterback whisper and Mike McCarthy

210
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: like it's a great fit, and it's a good chance

211
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: to take because again, you don't need to sign him

212
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: for more than a year. If it doesn't work, go

213
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: get another guy.

214
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 5: Right, he's on a deal. Never grabs him. You're on

215
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: a proved deal. Yeah, I mean, just make sure you've

216
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 5: got some young guy and and and you had your

217
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 5: man there last year that you were you were spying,

218
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: you know, standing for all along the Will Howards. He

219
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 5: comes back. But but all of that to say your

220
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: investments low.

221
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's an it's an easy thing to see,

222
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: cause again it's not just. It's not just if Minnesota

223
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: wanted Kyler Murray and he went. Why is of that?

224
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: But you think about how is Roger still sitting out there.

225
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: He didn't sound like when he was on pat mcfeel

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: like he's waffling about playing. He sounded like a guy

227
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: that I'm re energized. I prove that I still got it.

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, was he a top league quarterback? No,

229
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: but twenty four touchdown, seven picks and he didn't fall

230
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: apart over the course of the season. Huh, Maybe I

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: still got it for another year or two, or at

232
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: least one more year. I'm here you know, I'm familiar

233
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: with the weapons. You know, me and DK are starting

234
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: to get on the same page. He understands it. Sometimes

235
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't like to throw the football and take more

236
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: than two steps to throw the football because I'm scared

237
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: of getting hit, So he turns around a little bit faster.

238
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: But like that would have happened already. You know, no

239
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: one's gonna go through, especially a team that's not starting over.

240
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: If you were the Jets or the Browns or the

241
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: Raiders that yeah, you know it. Will wait and get

242
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: our quarterback because we're about getting a guy next year

243
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: in the draft or waiting. Steelers are a team no, no,

244
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: we reload for the Super Bowl every single year, so

245
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: we're leaving your starting back out there.

246
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 5: I mean, well, we reload to at least be five hundred.

247
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: Let's not push stewards that super Now you're just talking crazy.

248
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 5: We we want to play meaningful games for our fans

249
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: in December. That's how they've reloaded year after year. But

250
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 5: with this point, I mean, you still have friar Mouth

251
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: when he's healthy, is a good guy across the middle,

252
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 5: and some red zone opportunities. So you make your shot

253
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: and again looking at cap availability and it's all fuzzy

254
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 5: math anyway, But you look at it, Aaron Rodgers is

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: gonna cost you what twenty fifteen to twenty oh yeah

256
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: yeah talk And look, both those guys were at the

257
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: bottom of yards, you know, yards per attempt, So you're

258
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 5: not really changing anything there except with Kyler Murray, assuming

259
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: he comes back to full health, you have the ability

260
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: for scrambling, extending plays and such that Rogers just doesn't

261
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 5: give you anymore. And when you've got a guy like

262
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: dk Metcalf, that's a recipe for success.

263
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 4: Exit.

264
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: How about a Fresco exit swollen dome troup, Kyler Murray

265
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,079

266

Speaker 3: That'll be right there in front of you.

311
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm reading it right off what you said to me,

312
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: my life with the Knicks, but my life with the

313
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Mike Brown Knicks.

314
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: Like that, that's all here.

315
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: It's like a it's like you are traveling Dead show,

316
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: except you're following the Knicks around.

317
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Anthony would be fun to follow for a season,

318
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: would be.

319
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: I yes, he would actually actually following Jalen Brunson and

320
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 3: Josh Hart around would be fun. Would be fun. Those

321
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: two are It's it's one of those love hate relationships.

322
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: I mean the shots that they take each other, that

323
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: at each other publicly. I don't know if you guys

324
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: saw the clip, the clip where they're talking about guys

325
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: getting dumped on, and then Jalen Brunson shows a clip

326
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: of Lebron not just dunking on Josh but like rubbing

327
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: his crotch across Josh's face as.

328
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 7: He dunked on him, and.

329
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: He's like, what what what? What's going on there? What

330
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: happened there? I was uncomfortable for Josh in that situation.

331
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: So that's uh no, no, no, the the there is a

332
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: chemistry among those guys guys that that is very fun

333
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: and there there are far there are far worse teams

334
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: to follow.

335
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 7: Them than year in the Year of Knicks.

336
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: It's just when they come out West, they're playing against

337
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: the they're playing against the real conference, so it's it's

338
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: a little more challenging.

339
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: They're waiting for the playoffs. Rick the last twenty games,

340
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: especially this year. How relevant are they in the NBA

341
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: for any team? How relevant are these last week? We're

342
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs?

343
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: Now we're ready pretty much.

344
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's definitely a division of haves

345
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: and have nots. And I don't think there's anybody that's

346
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: like sneaking up. Minnesota has already made their move. You know,

347
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: there there are no teams that are lurking, say in

348
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: the play in situation that you're wondering, can they get

349
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: up to six?

350
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: Uh?

351
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: Would it make a difference if they did? You know,

352
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 3: is somebody somebody uh gonna get knocked out? I mean

353
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: the one team that I would look at that I

354
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: have some concerns about are the Denver Nuggets. They haven't

355
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: been able to close games. I was all for the

356
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: Michael Junior Cam Johnson trade that has not that has

357
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: not worked out as well as I expected. I think

358
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: one of the things that they're missing is Michael Porter

359
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: juniors was inconsistent, and that's where I thought Cam was

360
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: going to be a better choice. But his highs were

361
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: far better than what Cam has done, and he was

362
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: a much much better rebounder. And so the additions of

363
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown and Cam Johnson haven't been what I thought

364
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: they would be. And I'm just looking at the Denver

365
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 3: nuggets inability to close against the best teams in the league.

366
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: We just saw. If I'm not mistaken, your Knicks beat

367
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: them badly on their home floor. That's troublesome. That's not

368
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: the first time that they've been beaten like that. And

369
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: if I look at their record against teams that are

370
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 3: above five hundred, they're a flat eighteen and eighteen. And

371
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: if I look at the top teams Houston, San Antonio,

372
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, they don't just beat the bad teams, They've

373
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: got winning records against the good teams. I think that's

374
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: an indication of where the Denver Nuggets are and that

375
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: there should be reasons for concern. I mean, even the

376
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: New York Knicks have a winning record against teams above

377
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: five hundred, so that at the very least that Denver

378
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: Nuggets should be doing that.

379
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get into the news from last

380
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: night that's still permeating today. Ben adebay I was eighty

381
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: three point night for the heat. We started the conversation

382
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: last night. It went on today. The comparison his eighty

383
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: three point game to Kobe's eighty one point game. Here

384
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: we are twenty four hours later, does have settled?

385
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: Rick?

386
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: What's your big takeaway from watching Bam go for eighty

387
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: three last night?

388
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: My big takeaway is that this is why judging accomplishments

389
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: purely based on statistics is fool's gold.

390
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: That if we.

391
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: Didn't see how it was done, then the numbers can

392
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: can fool. You can be very distracting and hollow. I

393
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: would say, now, I'm not taking anything away from what

394
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: Bam accomplished, but this to me was if you played,

395
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: if you put it, if you ever wondered what an

396
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 3: NBA star would do if he was put in the

397
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: G League All Star Game, this was an example of

398
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 3: that because Bam was really the only player in the

399
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: game that was of star quality. The the Washington Wizards,

400
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean you had you had Alex Starr and Bub Carrington.

401
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: Those were the biggest names for the Wizards and and

402
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 3: for Bam, the next best player was probably Davion Mitchell.

403
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean everybody was sitting and so from the very beginning,

404
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean he had thirty one of their first forty points.

405
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: I think his previous career high was one points. So

406
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: to me, it was in looking at it, and it

407
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: was a record what forty three free throws? I mean

408
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: the Kobe only shot twenty, made eighteen to twenty. Even

409
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: Will Chamberlain when he scored his one hundred, didn't cake

410
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: he took thirty three throws, had a particularly good night

411
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: for him, had twenty eight. So to me, I don't

412
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: look at this eighty three and now I'm gonna suddenly

413
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: think of Bam out of bio in a different context.

414
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look at he was playing a Washington Wizards

415
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 3: team that I believe had lost nine in a row.

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: Is clearly tanking. Was not playing any of the players even.

417
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 7: For them, that are that are a star quality.

418
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: No star quality players for Miami, Him and Andrew Wiggins,

419
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: Norm Powell, Tyler, Hero, all of them, Killel where.

420
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 7: Like practically the entire starting lineup outside a.

421
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: Band wasn't playing. So I just I look at it,

422
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: and it's like, you know what, this, to me, above

423
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: anything else, is proof that you have to see just

424
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: reaching a statistical achievement. We can't judge it purely on

425
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: that got to be. Let's let's get into the details

426
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: in terms of how exactly it was done.

427
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: Say, Rick, Jason and I and our team here, we

428
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 5: might have been what five of the only people to

429
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 5: watch that game all the way through to to really

430
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: take it all the way to its head.

431
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: All right, But hey, you know what's funny is I

432
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: just thought like, is this gonn? This is not going

433
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: to be one of those historical moments where everybody's gonna ask,

434
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: so where were you when Bam scored eighty three, because

435
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: the answer for the ninety nine percent of the people

436
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 3: would be as sure as hell, wasn't watching the Wizards

437
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: in the heat. I had something something better to do.

438
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I was at the Bulls. I was at

439
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: the Bulls Warriors game. I was in the media room

440
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: and and I overheard somebody say BAM's got seventy seven.

441
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: And I was like, I have misheard that. I just

442
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: doing what I was doing.

443
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 7: There's no way.

444
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: And then there was a crowd around the around the screen.

445
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, I gotta go check.

446
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 3: Sure enough, you've got seventy seventies at the line to

447
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: get seventy nine. And that's so I saw the last

448
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 3: four and a half minutes, and then I went back

449
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: and I tried to watch the entire game. I watched

450
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 3: the first half of the first quarter when there was

451
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: like four turnovers in the first three minutes that said,

452
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 3: I can't do it.

453
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 7: I can't, I can't.

454
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: I can't get through this. So for anybody who thinks

455
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: that it's a travesty that the heat did what they

456
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: did in order for him to get eighty three, you're

457
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 3: missing the mark because the entire game was a travesty.

458
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: It didn't just start in the final five minutes.

459
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: All right, Rick talking about Travesty's extended absence. Now, we

460
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 5: haven't seen Steph Curry since the thirtieth of January. Are

461
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 5: we going to see him again or is it Operation shutdown?

462
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: No? I would expect that he's going to come back.

463
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 3: The struggle that he's had is that he just in

464
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: going through his workouts to get his body where it

465
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: needs it to be and thinking, like you know, there's

466
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 3: still visions for the Warriors of they've resigned themselves that

467
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: they're going to be in the play in, but they

468
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 3: are of the belief that hey, if we get in

469
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 3: the play in and even if we play a team

470
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: like San Antonio, it's the first their first time in

471
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: the playoffs, like we can do to them what we

472
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 3: did against the Rockets. There's still on the mind. If

473
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: Steph doesn't get hurt last year, they have a shot

474
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: at beating Minnesota after beating them in the first game.

475
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: That's that's the thinking of the Warriors, and that's the

476
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 3: thinking of Steph. They are by no means, by no

477
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: means are they letting go of the rope at this point,

478
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: which means Steph is not letting go of the rope.

479
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 7: Now, can he get his body right?

480
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 3: Can he get his body to where he wants it

481
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: or needs it or expects it to be that you know,

482
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: we're going to find out.

483
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 7: But as far as.

484
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: Trying to make that happen, that they're still attempting to

485
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: get Steph back and make a run.

486
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: All right. Now, lastly, Rick, something we've said the last

487
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: couple of nights. I'm going to give you a statement

488
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: and agree or dis agree you're ready. M hmm, okay,

489
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: So for whatever reason, all right, for whatever reason, again,

490
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons. For whatever reason, the Lakers

491
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: are better off without Lebron James than when he's in

492
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: the lineup.

493
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: Agree or disagree, Oh, that's absolutely true. There you go

494
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: and I'll and i'll and I'll tell you why, because

495
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: the problem is when you have Austin Reeves, Luka Botsch

496
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: and Lebron James, it's not just that you have three

497
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 3: bad defenders. Because there have been times where Austin has

498
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 3: been out, or it's been uh or Luca has been out,

499
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: it's been some other combo rather than the trio, and

500
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: they have not played as well. And the reason for

501
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: that is because when you play Lebron, then you're he's

502
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: not only a bat on the ball defender. He's not

503
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: a help defender. So you don't if he's playing, and

504
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: then you're gonna give Ruy Hachimura minutes. Chances are DeAndre

505
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: Ayton is not going to be playing. And while there's

506
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: a lot of criticism about about Ayton, when he gets

507
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: consistent minutes and he's he provides what you need, it

508
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: may not be great offensively, but defensively, he's a different guy.

509
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: When he has limited minutes and he's making room for Lebron,

510
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: then he seems to let go. He lets go of

511
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: the rope. But to me, it's it's ultimately it's just because.

512
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 7: Of the position that Lebron plays and.

513
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: Who he takes off the floor as a result of

514
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 3: as a result of putting him out there, Luca and

515
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves need all the defensive help that they can get,

516
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: and if they get it, they're not a bad team.

517
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: But Lebron is not the one who's going to be

518
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: providing it. And offensively he just doesn't give them enough.

519
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: I mean, whatever he's doing offensively, he's kind of take

520
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: away from Luca and Austin, So that that's the reason.

521
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's just it's it's a fact. It

522
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 3: sounds weird to say that about Lebron James, and especially

523
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: if you look at his numbers, but the way the

524
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 3: Lakers are constituted the record is not a mirage. It

525
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: is because he's not a good defender. He's not a

526
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: good help defender, and at this point in his career

527
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: he has to play on that back line.

528
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: You can fam on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is

529

Speaker 5: You got it, guys, enjoy Rick syah, no.

535
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: Look, and and the thing is, you know Rick talking

536
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: about ba Attebaio's night and saying, this is what happens

537
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: when you have an All Star.

538
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: What would look like if you put an All Star

539
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 4: in a G League game? Right?

540
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: This goes along with what we talked about last night

541
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: that at this point in the NBA season, Rick is describing,

542
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: look at the guys who are out there for the Wizards.

543
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: We talked about it last night.

544
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm surprised we don't get more runs at eighty eighty

545
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: five points a year. Maybe once or twice a year

546
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: a player does it because you gotta have that magic.

547
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 4: You can't just say, well, we're.

548
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Gonna give you the ball and you're gonna bulldoze your

549
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: way through and score thirty in the first quarter all

550
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the time.

551
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 4: Like you have to have it going on.

552
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: You gotta hit your free throats, you gotta hit some threes,

553
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: you got have everything going on, right, you have to

554
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: do it. But like you know, Rick's basically saying, listen,

555
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: this is what happens, and this is how the NBA

556
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: is now. These last twenty games twenty five games of

557
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: the season, right, this is ripe opportunity to see someone say, yeah,

558
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: if I'm having a big night and I got thirty,

559
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: forget about me sitting. If I have sixty five after

560
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: three quarters and we're winning by twenty five, No, I'm

561
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: getting in there because I want eighty eighty five points.

562
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: Like that's how everybody's gonna react now. So again, I'm

563
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: really surprised we haven't and maybe we'll see it more often,

564
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: but this has been the NBA the last few years,

565
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: and still this is the first time someone's even you know,

566
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: come close to get adding to Kobe, he gets there

567
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: and passes them.

568
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: Last night, yea. I mean we've seen a couple of seventies,

569
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: and we've seen some big runs, but last night, I mean,

570
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: I would hope it would come a little bit more organically. Again,

571
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 5: the cluster that was those final minutes as you're going

572
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 5: down the court and you even have the heat players,

573
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: let's follow them so we get I still have twenty

574
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 5: on the shot clock, but well we'll reset it so

575
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 5: we can get another possession. It just got weird and unseemly.

576
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: Congratulations to bam Adebayo. We've talked about bam Adebayo for years,

577
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 5: great player, kind of unsung, but not a guy you're

578
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: expecting to score. And I'm not mad about him scoring it.

579
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 5: If it, I don't care if it was player twelve

580
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: off the bench. If that's the way you get to

581
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 5: the eighty three, it's still gonna be a especial because again,

582
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 5: you and I actually watched that game. Most folks saw

583
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: the boxcerg go the's it may it may have taken

584
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 5: a couple of brain cells, there's no question about it.

585
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: But here we are the NBA. I'd love to see

586
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 5: it right because remember bam even in that game yesterday,

587
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: he had a lot of threes early, which is why

588
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 5: they got a little bit empowered and embolding to go

589
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: down that process. And then he started taking horse like

590
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: three point shots like.

591
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: Here one legger running exit out about a Fresca exit

592
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend

593
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: Mike Harmen. Time now to find out what's trending in

594
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: the wide world to sports. From someone who last night

595
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: combined with them out of bio to score eighty three

596
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: points in the NBA. It's Monty Belagya. That's right.

597
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: I took forty seven free throws. That's how many I took.

598
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 8: That's right. You know, I don't love it, but I

599
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 8: also don't hate it, you know what I mean? Like,

600
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 8: I don't love that he that he scored more than Kobe.

601
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 8: I don't love it.

602
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: Lakers fans hated it when Lawrence Tanta announced it the

603
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: game last night, heard.

604
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 8: Boom right, right right, And obviously I'm not a Laker fan,

605
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 8: so I don't hate it, but I didn't love it.

606
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 8: I was just like, I don't and then I didn't watch.

607
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 8: I was trying to watch pieces of the game at

608
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 8: the end, and I saw that it wasn't the way

609
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 8: maybe you'd want it to be. And it seemed like

610
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 8: the whole team was trying to get him to break

611
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 8: that record.

612
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: They were fouling.

613
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Five.

614
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, but also, Wizards, you should have stopped him.

615
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 4: Why is that not the conversations? Agent? Why didn't you

616
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 4: have the Wizards? Why'd you let him score how many in.

617
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: The first quarter?

00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 5: I mean this is crazy, doubled up and learned how

704
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 5: to play electric guitar.

705
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: This is actually Nickelback. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's Nickelback. Sure yeah.

706
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: Well now they're quarterback, okay, which leads us to our

707
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 4: next time. He's of inflation. Sure, so something that Jets

708
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: will never have. You're not.

709
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,959
Speaker 1: No, we got a quarterback and we're gonna talk about

710
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: them now. So two big quarterbacks in the news today,

711
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones re signs with the Colts two years eighty

712
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: eight million. Yeah, cost of doing business, right, I get.

713
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: There was a lot of oh my goodness, I can't

714
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: believe Daniel Jones. Yeah, this is how it goes when

715
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: you have two thirds of a season where you show

716
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: you are the missing piece and he was. We told

717
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: you last year at this time, Daniel Jones is gonna

718
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: be great with the Colts. He's got everything he needs there.

719
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: It's a great system for him. This is what it

720
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: is now for quarterbacks. You pay forty four million a

721
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: year for a guy that shows you for two If

722
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: you're paying Molik will list twenty two million dollars for

723
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: four and a half quarters worth of work last year,

724
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: You'll pay Daniel Jones forty four million for next year

725
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: for nine games. Right like that. That's just the cost

726
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: of doing business at quarterbacks in the NFL.

727
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 4: That's all it is.

728
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 5: Who he's your guy, he's proven in the system. You

729
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: think you're gonna get him back healthy. And you looked

730
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 5: at what you did over the first part of that

731
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: season where Daniel Jones we were had him on the

732
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 5: short list at least in season MVP candidates with what

733
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 5: he was able to do with the early season Colts.

734
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 5: It's he and Jonathan Taylor and you were flipping a

735
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 5: coin as to decide who was the guy. But since

736
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 5: running backs don't win, we know where that was gonna go.

737
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 5: But all that to say, yeah, is it a bit

738
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 5: of an over bay. God bless him. He got the

739
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 5: money he wanted because remember it was the hey they

740
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 5: wanted to give him, the Sam Darnold deal. Was the

741
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 5: report three for one hundred. Now he got two for

742
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 5: eighty eight.

743
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, babe, let's go. Now.

744
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the other quarterback of the news and I saw

745
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: this and I just you know, of course I hope

746
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: it happens, but I'm like, come on, man. Pete Carroll,

747
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: former Raiders head coach, was fired after one season, says

748
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: he fully expects a rebound season this year for Geno

749
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: Smith with the Jets. He said, expect more to the

750
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks Geno than the Raiders Geno. Now, look, let

751
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: me just say this, because last night I told you,

752
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: how do the Jets do this? How do you do

753
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: this to a fan base? How do you bring back

754
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: a guy that left after getting punched in a jaw

755
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: and became a punchline for a team for a decade.

756
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: You could go get somebody else. Now, of course I'm

757
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: rooting for Geno Smith to do well. I want the

758
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: Jets to win. I want to do I mean, I

759
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: want arch Manning, but like, I want him to win.

760
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: But I know that he's your guy and you want

761
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: to step up for him. But Geno Smith has not

762
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: really been good in.

763
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: A little while.

764
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 5: He got fired twice.

765
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 4: Okay, the Raiders said we don't want you.

766
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: When the Raiders say we don't want you, that's usually

767
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: the last chance hotel.

768
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 4: That's what you become a jet.

769
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: But instead it's like, oh, that's a last chance hotel. No, no, no,

770
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: there's one about sixty miles down there. It's called the

771
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: Jet Up. Oh, let's go back there. They do have

772
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go get the number one pick.

773
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 5: Number one pick. What's in the box or what we know?

774
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 5: We've gotten Geno the box? The box.

775
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: Geno Smith is on a four year decline and is

776
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: he an I can't even say he's a league average quarterback.

777
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: Like you can't just sit here and say, well, I

778
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: blame everything on the Raiders.

779
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 4: But that's pretty broach. What happened.

780
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: Oh, Gino Smith's gonna get a landing spot because teams

781
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: look at what happened with the Raiders last year and say, oh,

782
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: it was all their scheme. Geno Smith's metrics were down.

783
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: I don't need to give all of that. They were

784
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: down across the board everywhere. It's like seeing a politician

785
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't get reelecting a boy. How come they only

786
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: got thirty four percent of the votes? Well, you see everywhere.

787
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: Look at this map they show you don't say, the

788
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: map behind and Steve Karnaki's got the map here. Voting

789
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: was down for this candidate here here, here, here, this

790
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: part which they won it with sixty four percent of

791
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: the vote last time, now thirty four percent of the vote.

792
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: They're down here here, that's Geno Smith. He's down here,

793
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: down here, down here, down here.

794
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 5: To like, were you reading California politics because I heard

795
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 5: some of that.

796
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I want him to succeed, but but I

797
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: but I say, when you combine the fact that you're

798
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: bringing in a guy like Gino who in theory is

799
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: in there for you to tank, but when you bring

800
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: him back after all of that baggage, it's like it's

801
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: a double whammy of of what are we doing? It's

802
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: not just a single a single whammy of what are

803
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: we doing? I'm used to double whammy of what are

804
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: we doing? It's like when I went from one shot

805
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: of espresso and my coffee to two. Whoa, whoa, as

806
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: I can see the difference. Now Jets, the Jets always

807
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: go full jets. They never go halfway jets. Now jair

808
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: are always full jets.

809
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 4: But here here's the thing.

810
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: I'll agree with Pete Carroll to a point, like it's

811
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 5: the last chance motel, which means he's winging the ball

812
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 5: all over, which is gonna be good.

813
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some terrible intercepts. It's just like there

814
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: were this last year. But you got a good defense

815
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: and that and that's the thing that that really kills

816
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: this time. They have a defense, right the Raiders had

817
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: Max Crosby and ten guys.

818
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that is true. Yeah they did.

819
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jets, they might a couple of times they might

820
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 5: have gone short.

821
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 7: Damn it.

822
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 4: We gotta make sure we have eleven on the field.

823
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll, I tapped out, what do you know what?

824
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is not happy on the Raiders sideline let's

825
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: count the players. Oh that's only six. Pete Carroll has

826
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: run out to try to play cords. Doesn't matter what

827
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: defense you have. If you're throwing six picks.

828
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 5: A game, well no, that that's but it certainly doesn't

829
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 5: help the They couldn't cross midfield with ten years ago.

830
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: He only had seventeen last year. Okay, that's that's that's.

831
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 5: And the same same touchdowns, so right, So I mean

832
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 5: we go one to one same thing here, and what

833
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 5: does that do in the In the AFC, that's gonna

834
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 5: win you five games?

835
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: I throw a touchdown means I'm gonna throw a pick

836
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: the next time.

837
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 4: Touchdown.

838
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 5: He's costing you Arch because of that defense. Bresaw and

839
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 5: Garret Wilson. I know, Carol Wilson's.

840
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: Tenth quarterback drive through Arch double whammies are tough man.

841
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then drive through is there the big Arch.

842
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: We get back into the biggest breaking NFL story of

843
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: the night.

844
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 4: We have a new stuff on

845
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: The trade that wasn't Next Fox
