00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you picked up another minor leaguer today,

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm on top of the world looking down on creation.

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: The only destination I can find is the sun that

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: I've found ever since you've been around on my Love's

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: putting me at the top, and the Mets have put

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: me at the top of the world. I think that's

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: a sad world. And even it was though, I mean,

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: look at the way he spun that. I mean, now

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: he's got his carpet dis basketball. Yeah, best drummer, that's

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: the thing. Though she's saying she's not drumming.

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: At that point. Yeah, that's all right. I need her

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 2: to be wrecked. Tat, tat, tat.

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's go, you know, before before we get into uh

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: a big NFL topic, Tay that actually ties into the oscars. Frostburg,

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: I want to say, I know I told you earlier

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: in the off season just save it.

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: You were gonna.

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I told you were going to lose. I told you

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: you were going to lose Jesse Minterer. He was gonna

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: be I really think he's the head coach at Michigan.

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: The Michigan wanted to get away from everything, you know,

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: everything with Harball coming out. I really thought he was

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna So I'm sorry you lost him. He's a great

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: coach and if it's any consolation, I think he'll be

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: really good in Baltimore. I think he's gonna be really

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: good there. I mean, what do you know about good football?

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I know about bad football. So when I see good football,

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: I know that's not it. That's that's that's something better.

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Stands opposite, Yeah, that's something better. He's just stuff. Look,

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: if he didn't take one of these ten jobs, then

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: you would have just said, boy, he just doesn't want

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. No, Nolan, right now I

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: think is getting ready to call you.

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: I think so. Well.

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Look, that's the thing, right, is that we're getting closer.

54
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I think we have We only have seven more openings

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: to phil in h in the NFL. But that's the

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: thing is that you look at this and Jesse Mentor

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: charges defensive coordinator, new head coach with the Baltimore Ravens,

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: and look, I loved honestly, he's the best guy available.

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: He you know, they love.

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: Him there, They love him from his time there. He's

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: got everything you would want in a candidate. I thought

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: he get hired sooner. But this is a great match

63
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: because he can fix that horrendous defense that was awful

64
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the year last year, then got a little

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: bit better, then got bad. Now the big thing is

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do offensively? Is he gonna say, hey,

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the head coach and I'm gonna trust

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: the offense to somebody else, Or is he gonna say, hey, Okay,

69
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring somebody in change things around. That's gonna

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: be the next thing. But of all the guys, and

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: really you don't know about them, but of all that list,

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: and it's not an impressive list. This year, he was

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: the best guy in the list. Somebody else, somebody else. Yeah,

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: I had a couple of jobs that I think we

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: can all agree, even with some lunacy and some commentary

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: from the ownership, as we talked about last night with Buffalo, overall,

77
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: still a pretty good job, right, Still sure, still a

78
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: chance to win.

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: You're going into a new building.

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: You've got your quarterback, which a lot of teams cannot say. Now,

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: how many more years of peak Josh Allen do you have?

82
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm at least starting there. Likewise,

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: Jesse Minter going to Baltimore, he's got a quarterback. Most

84
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: of these other jobs, guy with a riddler suit on, Yeah,

85
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: these are the jobs that But look, there's two big

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: points to make about this, this coaching search. I mean,

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: this shows you that it really is a bad year

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: to want a head coach, because here we are, we're

89
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: late in the process, and still half the teams that

90
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: fired their head coaches are looking for new ones, including

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Bills. Usually teams that people go, hey,

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to go coach Josh Allen. I'd love to

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: go coach the Steelers. They don't fire anybody, man, I don't.

94
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: I can stay there for twenty years. It's gonna be fantastic.

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Like the fact that still you're seeing this number of

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: vacancies still out there, not just one team and they're

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: waiting for the Super Bowl to hire their guy like that.

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: This is half the teams out there. I mean, this

99
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: shows you what a bad year it is. Man, this

100
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: is a bad year. And I said yesterday the only

101
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: thing that would help me is if the Jets did something.

102
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Because I had the Mets getting Freddy Paralter Cheercuse is

103
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: winning at halftime. They wound up losing so the Knicks

104
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: one by sixty, and I needed the Jets to do something.

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: And then I thought today after you know when Mintor

106
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: because the first the story gets out that Minter told

107
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: the Browns I'm not coming in for another interview because

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: I have something else going on to have a better

109
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: chance at which like if you have a better if

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: if you don't.

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: Have to Jess hands the Browns. I mean, come on,

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: if I just.

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Had an appointment at the local place to get his bunions,

114
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: it was.

115
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: Still better than going back to interview with the Browns.

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Come on, but just think about this for a second, okay,

117
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: because it is what I'm getting after today. I'm not so

118
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: upset that the Jets didn't fire Aaron Glenn, even though

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a bad head coach, and I'm just

120
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: waiting for fire because nobody wants the Browns job. Jesse

121
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Mintor is the second candidate to eshee a second interview.

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Like Mike McDaniel said, yeah, no, I'd rather go be

123
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: the OC in California, and Jesse Mincher said yea, yeah, no,

124
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: I think I could be a head coach somewhere else.

125
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I think I have that job. So obviously, yes, are

126
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: you gonna pick the head coach being the head coach

127
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: of the Ravens over a second interview with the Browns?

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Of course? But the optic you see, like nobody wants

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: this Browns job. Man like Jimmy Hassel may have to

130
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: coach the team himself, like nobody wants this. And this

131
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: made me think, oh, maybe it's not such a bad

132
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: thing that Jets didn't fire airng Glynn, because they'd be

133
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: in the same boat where play, where guys are saying, yeah, no, no, thanks,

134
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: don't want any part of this Jets team. We're not

135
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to come in for a first interview,

136
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: and the Jets would be just as embarrassing as the

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: Browns in this situation. But now the Browns can own

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: this all of themselves. They can own the horrendousness of

139
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: this coaching search, and nobody wants all of themselves.

140
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting here going, well, at least we have

141
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: a coach.

142
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: He may not be any good, and we're gonna be

143
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: looking for a new head coach next year. But ah,

144
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: at least I'm not scraping the bottom of the barrel.

145
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get Arch Manning and Steve Sarkisia next year.

146
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: Sea.

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I think at least for the Jets, you can still

148
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: sell we're in New York, New Jersey, and that there

149
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: is the opportunity that if you win with the Jets.

150
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: You are the stuff of legend that I know. I know,

151
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: and you would think that that would have time Browns

152
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: to a degree, that's what. But I do believe that

153
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: there is something to coaching on the East Coast that

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: you would.

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: Still have a win.

156
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: That's like saying, if the Mets gave me a tryout,

157
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I could be the shortstop.

158
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: Like I'm not saying you can win. I'm saying that there.

159
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: It's like all the guys that want to go after

160
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: a former first round draft pick going he's been on

161
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: eight teams, but damn it, there was something we saw

162
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: on that tape. I know what's in black and white

163
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: now and it's a little choppy, but we can go

164
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: back and we were gonna be the ones to unleash it.

165
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: And we've had a couple of guys have some great

166
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: success after bouncing around. But with the Jets, I think

167
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: it's just a all right. There was at one point

168
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: a bit of excitement, even fifteen years ago. I know

169
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: it's been a long time at his point, but there

170
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: were a couple of AFC title game appearances. What's curious,

171
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Buffalo, now the job's just come open. But

172
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine that you get your pick of what

173
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: you want to do. Right. We had this story with

174
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Monsey yesterday, but Buffalo and the Steelers, but your pick

175
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: of what do you want to do? But nobody, nobody

176
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: has said, Hey, guess what I want to leave my

177
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: job to come coach there. I thought the Steelers are open. Hey,

178
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: who's not going to want to say, y'all leave my

179
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: gig to come there? Because I know I have what

180
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: every coach wants and what no other team gives him

181
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: as job security. But I wrote coach Josh Allen said

182
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: of the guy I'm coaching now or the college I'm

183
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: coaching now, and there's nobody. Yeah, but if you do

184
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: that and then the Steelers and or Bills don't want you,

185
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: you can't go back unless you're Brian Flores, who was

186
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: a good guy, was bringing up the wretch out channels. Well,

187
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: but we'd start hearing the right. I mean, yeah, hey, Rex,

188
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Ryan could go be the DC with the Giants. But

189
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: for Brian Flores, he signed the deal with the Vikings

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,359
Speaker 1: to return if he doesn't get a head coaching.

191
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: Jobs, Like what what what are you doing? Vikings? Yeah?

192
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Like, here's another example of well, I mean, if he

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: really wants to go, he can go, but as the fallback,

194
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: he'll be back with us. Well, it's the same thing

195
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: that McDaniel's got with the Chargers, you know, Hey here

196
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: and but if he comes up but it's not happening, no, no,

197
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: no no. But like there's no other job now coming

198
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: coming open. McDaniel got this deal and and I'm sure

199
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: he would have heard that of the McDermott tenuous situation

200
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: or sure, and maybe he just wandered off that that

201
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: wheel for a minute.

202
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: But you know, but you talked, where are the people

203
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: that want to go coach Josh Allen?

204
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Right? Where are the big name? Where are the big

205
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: names that would go coach Josh Allen?

206
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: Names? Where are where are not?

207
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: Not not that they're they're names that that have jobs

208
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: right now either in college that all of a sudden

209
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: when the right job opened up. Hey, guess what, I'll

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: talk to you whether it's Lincoln Riley or kurtzig Natty

211
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: now that he's got the Natty, Uh, you know who

212
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the hell.

213
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 2: In the NFL get names signing Lincoln Ryley.

214
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying is is the surprise, Well, well,

215
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: anybody if us. He called and said, hey, listen, we'll

216
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: pay you to take him off our hands. But no,

217
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: but there's big names, whether it's other NFL coaches, whether

218
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: it's college coaches. Now that once those jobs came up,

219
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: and whoa Steelers job comes open once every twenty years. Man,

220
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: It's not like, hey, you know, I can, I can.

221
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: I can get this job in a year. It's not

222
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: like the Browns or the Jets or the Cardinals at

223
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: the RAID, I could get that every couple of years.

224
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: The Steelers bought him out for two years under the

225
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: news like this it might be a new world order.

226
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: It's like the Rudies are like, hey, this sucks. We

227
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: liked being playing competitive football in December. What do we

228
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: do with Steelers hire a new head coach. Every time

229
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: James Cameron has a new movie, it's every ten years.

230
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: Although now I think he's done with the avatar. Yeah,

231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: but now he's gonna have an avatar every six months.

232
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: No, I think he's done. I think he's kind of

233
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: done with the avatar. I think I think that. I

234
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: bet you that's it. Yeah. I think they can cobble

235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: together another eight hours. Oh, I think he could. But

236
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: I just don't.

237
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the demand for in the money and

238
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: everything is got. I think this is kind of I

239
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: think there's fire and ash fatigue. There's fatigue. I think

240
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: there's fatigue.

241
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: Just wait till he mashes Titanic with avatar.

242
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, if that happens, Yes, if that happened, sure, mix

243
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: the yeah, tell them apart.

244
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that that's part of the part of the fight.

245
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: They go under the water and and then and they

246
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: they raise the Titanic and and the Titanic is saved

247
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: and it keeps going. Yeah, but how terrifying would that

248
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: song be coming towards you in a war?

249
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: They avatars? I thought you meant Celine beon so you

250
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: could do that too. What's that? Sad? Dirge? You're ready

251
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: for your funeral? But I mean, we look.

252
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: But that's the thing that shows you how bad bad

253
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: a crop it is. That these are two jobs that

254
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: should get people out. This should get people out saying yeah, hey,

255
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: guess what those are the jobs I want to go for,

256
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: because I would walk into a job in the NFL

257
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: and have to get a new quarterback and make sure

258
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: he's good. So I could walk into Josh and right

259
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: away and go okay, and the most important position on

260
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: the team is fine. I'm gonna tell him, dude, you

261
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: stunk against Denver, that's why we lost. Let's see something

262
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: bigger next year. And then I go fix the rest

263
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: of the team Steelers again every twenty years, like you,

264
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: you got thousands of guys to coach. Other teams like

265
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers. You can count their coaches on one hand,

266
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: like you're a legend. But still no other names other

267
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 1: than we're thrown around Don Shula's grandson and other n

268
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: and maybe we're gonna see somebody jump from a different

269
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: We're not getting anybody but Garth.

270
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: That's how bad.

271
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: That's how bad a crop of coaches that you could

272
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: be choosing from this year.

273
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 3: Now.

274
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that everybody's gonna fail. Some are gonna succeed.

275
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Jesse Minter succeeds. I hope he does.

276
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Robert Sala succeeds. Probably not, I hope he does,

277
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: because I watch Robert Sala up close. Uh. One thing, Hey, Tennessee,

278
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy that nineteen rostersponts will be taken

279
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: up by defensive lineman.

280
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: You're gonna love that. It's gonna be awesome.

281
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: But but but really this is we had so many

282
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: openings and you know, we had and then seven, then

283
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: it was eight, and and you know the then six seven,

284
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: six seven, Then one gets filled, another one opens up.

285
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: So you would think that, Okay, now we're gonna get something,

286
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: and we don't. I mean like there's years. It's like,

287
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: there's years to want a quarterback in the NFL. There's

288
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: years not to want to get a quarterback. This is

289
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: a year you don't want to get a quarterback or

290
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a head coach in the NFL offseason. Think about that.

291
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: You don't want to get a quarterback orror a head coach.

292
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: If you need one of those things. Good luck is

293
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: there ain't the guys out there. And now we're in

294
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: the final four with some of your favorite quarterbacks still standing.

295
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: No, it's great. Let's see hang on one.

296
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: One of my favorite quarterbacks still stay and one of

297
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: your favorite teams. When you say favorite, do you mean

298
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: teams playing against the Patriots and the Seahawks? Is hell

299
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: you mean when you say favorites, you say favorite, it's

300
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: all it's all relative. Favorite exit out about a Fresco

301
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: exit swollen dome. So again, if you do. If you

302
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: head coach this offseason, I'm sorry. If you don't, congratulations,

303
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: If you'd a quarterback and there's lots of teams, yeah, I.

304
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: Can't do anything for you on that sure, I'm on

305
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: that door. It's terrible. It's absolutely terrible.

306
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever wiped you the piece of dry toilet

307
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: paper and wondered as this as good as it gets?

308
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,800

397
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,800

00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Right for eighty this would be eighteen for twenty from

Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant's eighty one point game eighty one turns twenty

402
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Tonight we got the second greatest performance

403
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: in basketball history, and really the best performance any of

404
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: us have seen, because nobody really saw Will score a

405
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: one hundred. Yeah in Hershey, Pennsylvania that night. So this

406
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: is the best performance in the history of the game

407
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: that any of us have seen. Oh, by the way,

408
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: and a Sunday night after the AFC and NFC title

409
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: games took place. You know, I know exactly where I

410
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: was because I was with my friends and I told

411
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: him I think he's getting seventy tonight. Oh wait, no,

412
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: that was that was what Lebron James was trying to claim.

413
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: I had a four month old on my chest and

414
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: I was asleep. I can tell you that that's exactly

415
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: where I was. And then when I put her down

416
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: the bed, I checked the web and said, well wait

417
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: what how would And then you started looking at it.

418
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: You only had two assists, Like what are you doing? No,

419
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: you only had to assists twenty out out of forty

420
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: six from the field.

421
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: I only had to assist how many point? How many

422
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: BAM assists? Advertimes?

423
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: You wanted to pass the ball? Score eighty one points?

424
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: You don't pass the ball that much.

425
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Just seems at some point you could have gotten other

426
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: people in.

427
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: Why do you need other people involved? If you're the

428
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: guy scoring and you're you're taking all the shots, why

429
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: you really want Hey, let's let somebody else shoot the

430
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: ball in Hoosiers? Did you want somebody else other than

431
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Chit would to take the shot at the end.

432
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: I wanted Merle to take the shot. I wanted raised.

433
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I wanted the.

434
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: Guy who can't in high school musical.

435
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: They brought that guy off the bench and they let

436
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: him get that layup. As Troy captured all the attention

437
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: found him wide open for the little put in. I

438
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: wanted the guy who came back on the team that

439
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: we don't know how he got back on the team,

440
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: but he left in the beginning when he left tryouts,

441
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: and in a montage in the middle of the season,

442
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: somehow he's back on the team. I want that guy montage.

443
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, this wasn't a last second shot kind of event here.

444
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: Eventually they bludgeoned, bludgeoned the squad and ran away and hid.

445
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: Well again, most of this is made possible because Sam

446
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: Mitchell decided to single guard Kobe Bryant for the vast

447
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: majority of the game. So there's that that's true. So

448
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: the other four guys really weren't open. They were being

449
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: But really, I mean, like this, you know two big

450
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: things about this game when I think about this anniversary,

451
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: and one's a new hot take to get to in

452
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: a second, is that that night I was hosting All

453
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: Night on ESPN Radio, right, I had been doing it

454
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of years at that point, and all

455
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden this comes up and there was a

456
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: big discussion, Hey, what do we spend most of the

457
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: show talking about right. I mean, basically, we just pingpong back.

458
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: We had Kobe eighty one Steelers, Seahawks, Kobe eighty one

459
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: steel But I'm like, I think, what we got to do?

460
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Kobe a little bit? Mummy eighty one point, Like this

461
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: is a really big deal. And then we were debating

462
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: what Sports Center would lead with. What's the biggest story?

463
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: Are they going to lead with football? VYG lead with

464
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: Kobe eighty one? Is this whole big thing? And I

465
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: didn't know this, but all of a sudden, you were

466
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: in the middle of our show and we're doing it

467
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: and we're talking about what ESPN should lead with, and

468
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: now Kobe and eighty one that's the biggest thing. And

469
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, my producer gets my ear and says, Hey, Jason,

470
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: Stu Scott's on the line. He wants to come on

471
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: and talk to you about this topic. And I'm going, oh, wow, okay,

472
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: because Stu hosted Sports Center that night, and I'd work

473
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: with Stu on ESPN two when I was a production

474
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: assistant in ap and he was a talent when ESPN

475
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: two started, and he started his career there. And I'm like, Okay, well,

476
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: but I hadn't talked to Stu in probably ten years,

477
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: and I'm going, oh, this is this is not gonna

478
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: go well because he's gonna come on and say this

479
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 1: is why we decided to go because I think they

480
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: went with football, and he goes, this is why we

481
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: decided to do this, and there is all this bother

482
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: and I'm going, okay, let's have Stu on. I'm going,

483
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta make sure, you know, be diplomatic

484
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: about this and talking about it, because I don't know

485
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: if this is going to turn into a thing. This

486
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: is out your conditioned to think at ESPN. Yeah, but

487
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have major bones right there.

488
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

489
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: Fought with Stuart Scotty about programming. So I'm like, okay,

490
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: let's get on. And the first he says is Jase,

491
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, man, I can't believe that this is

492
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: We're having the exact conversation we had all night.

493
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: What do we leave?

494
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: This is eighty one from Kobe man, and we had

495
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: a great conversation. He brought me inside, brought us all inside,

496
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: the conversation about how they decided to do what they

497
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: did and why they went that way, and it was awesome.

498
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: It was awesome radio. And so at the end, I said, uh,

499
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: we finished the interview and and and my producer said, hey,

500
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: he had a great time getting out, and hey, do

501
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: me a favor tell him thanks, and uh, you know,

502
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it.

503
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: Go he's not gonna remember me.

504
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: I hadn't worked with him in like ten years and

505
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: stuff since we were on ESPN two together.

506
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: And uh, and.

507
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: I said, but just tell him, just tell him. I

508
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: said thanks, and so like he texted Stu, Hey, Jason

509
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: said thanks, And five minutes later he goes, well, I

510
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: want to read you Stu's response what he wrote back

511
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: to me about coming on with you. And I said, sure,

512
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: what do you say? He goes, hey, do some lum's

513
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: got to take care of each other. So I was like,

514
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: all right, that was pretty cool that he remembered me

515
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: from being a PA and and coming out and being

516
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: on the end. I thought that was just really really

517
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: cool with him. And I'll always remember that conversation because

518
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: I remember how scared. I was, just like, hey, how

519
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: are you question what we're gonna do on sports?

520
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: Or Duke came on?

521
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: I said, Chase Man, let me tell you. I can't

522
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: believe it, and right away I'm it is. He's at ease,

523
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: and it's a tremendous conversation. And when you think back

524
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: to you know, you think about how history is remembered

525
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: these games like no one really members the Steelers and

526
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the championship games. Remember eighty one from

527
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: Kobe and Sam Mitchell single guarding him and every time

528
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Kobe had the ball, people on their phones on the

529
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: sideline talk do you believe it? I'm here at the

530
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: game and Kobe's got seventy he's got seventy five, he's

531
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: got seventy eight. Everybody jumping up and down. It was

532
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: an insane moment. And it's on this sleepy Sunday night

533
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: after the AFC and NFC title games, not so sleepy

534
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. And it's something that's

535
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: been revisited low these many years. We've tried to figure

536
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: out who, if anybody, could ever top that.

537
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: And now we're not doing a poll question.

538
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: You can still send to the Matt Swollen Dome at how

539
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: about them presk if you want, But just that idea

540
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: of this mythical mark of how you have to a

541
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: put up that many shots. If you're not proficient and

542
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: just dominating from three point range? What that becomes? Can

543
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: you live at the foul line? Do they even bother

544
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: calling files? After a while? In today's NBA, like all

545
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: of these things that go through in terms of how

546
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: much the game has changed and the flow of things,

547
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: and for a guy to put up forty six shots,

548
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: man that We were on air for Kobe's sixty point finale,

549
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: which was a surreal thing. Even Kobe, years later, watching

550
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: a replay of it and kind of live tweeting it,

551
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: said it kind of felt like a Dolly painting.

552
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: It was a religious experience Neuton landscape.

553
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's it, right, You're just watching things

554
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: that you're you suspend disbelief normally when you go into

555
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: a movie theater. But every once in a while the

556
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: sporting universe gives us one of those. I've certainly had

557
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: that a bit with the Caleb Williams throws, not that

558
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: there weren't plenty of others.

559
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: How do you not hit that pass? With Kobe? He

560
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: watched it and said, how did I not hit that shot?

561
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: Now here's my hot take on Kobe's eighty one It's overrated. No, no, no,

562
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: I am surprised that at least once a year, let's

563
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: say not to go crazy on it, but at least

564
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: once a year we don't get somebody in the NBA

565
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: making a big run at it. Okay, because Kobe went

566
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty eight for forty six from the floor. Right, twenty

567
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: eight for forty six from the floor. Pretty slow start, yeah,

568
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: pretty slow stepper, Like fifty five in the second half.

569
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: That's not bad, right.

570
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: Right outscores and what fifty five forty one second half?

571
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: But the entire team, yeah it is.

572
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: But Kobe.

573
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: Look Kobe who back then him and Lebron two best

574
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: players in the game. Kobe was twenty seven in his prime.

575
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that a prime superstar like a Luca or

576
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: a Yannis or Jokic, once a year we don't get

577
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: at least one run at it because think about this,

578
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: forty six shots for Kobe in eighty one points. Okay,

579
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: The most shots the NBA game this year is Kate

580
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: Cunningham took forty five. Right, he scored, He scored forty

581
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: scored forty six points on forty five shots.

582
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: Right.

583
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: The second most shots in the game is Anthony Edwards Okay,

584
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: just just a couple of days ago, he he had

585
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: thirty three shots in a game when he went for

586
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: fifty five.

587
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: Right, we talked about that.

588
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: Let's say Anthony Edwards is in the game and he

589
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: takes those forty six shots, right, he got fifty five

590
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: points on thirty three shots. Right, So add to the

591
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: thirteen shots, Let's give him seven out of thirteen. Right,

592
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's give him fifty percent to wrestle, you make

593
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: seven more field goals. Let's make two of those threes. Okay,

594
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: so that's gonna give Anthony Edwards. Then that's gonna put

595
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: him another twelve, fifteen, eighteen points. Right, So let's just

596
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: say forty six shots rather think it's another eighteen points.

597
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: Right.

598
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: That puts him at seventy three. Okay, that's just being

599
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: conservative with the shots. And hey, you're just taking the

600
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: rest of those shots to get to forty six.

601
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: Right.

602
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe at least once a year, there's not

603
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: one game like that where Edwards or Jalen Brown or

604
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray or you know, and Jalen Brown has games.

605
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he's the best can because he has lots of

606
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: games with thirty shots in a game.

607
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: But I'm surprised what at least once a year, one

608
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: star is not feeling it so much against a team

609
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: that is not guarding him. Well, that's coming off second

610
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: game of back to backs whatever, it's going to be

611
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: Sam Mitchells coaching the team, and they just thought we're

612
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: gonna single guard you that, Like, we don't get at

613
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: least because we have some incredibly talented offensive players as

614
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: you know now, and with defense not being the hallmark

615
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 1: and even was back you know, twenty years ago, at

616
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: least teams were winning championships on defense twenty years ago, right,

617
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: Diston's won on defense a couple of times. So I

618
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: really that that's something that I really think, like at

619
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: least once a year, there should be a night, you know,

620
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Luke against twenty five in the first in the first quarter,

621
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: eighteen in the second quarter, twenty five in the third quarter,

622
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: Like how does how does that not happen? Because guys

623
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: should be there should be a couple of times where

624
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna take forty five shots in the game if

625
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: you're the number one star in the team and you're

626
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: a big star and you're feeling it, like at least

627
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: once a year, we should see somebody threaten that number,

628
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: but we just don't.

629
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: We just don't well and be topped out at seventy.

630
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: We saw Luca go for seventy three against against the Hawks,

631
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: so we've had it otherwise.

632
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: You got David Tomson a couple of wilts.

633
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're talking about two games in the last

634
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: twenty years where we had gotten this. You kind of

635
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: get close to, you know, kind of get close a

636
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: couple of time.

637
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would. I'm kind of shocked that

638
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: we don't have that.

639
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Let's all just go for it when let's face it,

640
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: the final two to three months of the season, there

641
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: are a couple of teams that are not playing for anything. No, hey, guys,

642
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: can I just chuck up fifty shots tonight? Can we

643
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 1: just see how that works. I'll buy dinner. You can

644
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: hit me with one of those rookie dinner bills. Come on,

645
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: let's let's just do it please. And Trey Young could

646
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: be a guy, you know what, he's healthy to do

647
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: that he likes to shoot when he plays the next

648
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well but but he gets into one of

649
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: those zones.

650
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: I mean loo.

651
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Kobe also was eighteen for twenty from the foul line.

652
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: That's that's a lost start to not getting to the

653
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: fall line necessarily, but knocking them down.

654
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: A lot of guys have that issue.

655
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: But you also have to to be more efficient and

656
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: proficion from three point. He was seven to thirteen that night.

657
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: That's it's pretty rarefied air for most NBA shooters, right,

658
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, guy's taking thirteen shots like they hit four.

659
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: You're feeling pretty.

660
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: Gooeah, No, I mean really, it's it's I mean I

661
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: really am with the with the way some of the

662
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: shooters are now that nobody's made that run at eighty

663
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: one and got so close.

664
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: How hard it really is?

665
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's it's incredible when you see

666
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: because Kobe not only did he shoot well from the floor,

667
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: he shot well from three and he hit his and

668
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: he hit his free throws. I mean that's and you

669
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: have to everything, and you have to tell the coach tonight,

670
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm not on my minutes restriction.

671
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm just gonna keep what we're up by

672
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: twenty five. Sorry, I want eighty one. I want eighty one.

673
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: I want Kobe's eighty one.

674
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: And then you go down all your healthy scratches. Hey,

675
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: is he off for rest. Is he actually hurting tonight?

676
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: That's the NBA in twenty twenty six. Tom now to

680
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: She's also bet the Clippers to win this game. Her

686
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: Okay, he has a lot of hair, and and I

687
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: don't and you don't.

688
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: That's the big Why can't I just be because you're not.

689
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to get you a wig if you.

690
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: Wanted to be. I don't say I want to be

691
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: because I think he is. He in federal prison. For

692
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: a second. Okay, shaved in prison. He might might have

693
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: a shaved head. You're so right.

694
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he's tattooed on his on his fingers now across

695
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: his knuckles. He's got all the matt Damon tattoos from

696
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,239
Speaker 1: uh Love and Hate? Are we the good guys? We

697
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: always you guys are talking.

698
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 5: About the eighty three points. Did you guys hear about

699
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 5: the high schooler like last week that scored one hundred points?

700
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that game was fixed.

701
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 5: No, it was ridiculous because the score was like one

702
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 5: hundred and nine to thirty, yeah, and so he scored

703
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: like one hundred, yeah, and it was just kind of

704
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 5: it was a high schooler. I think it was an

705
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 5: Arizona and it was just kind of like, what are

706
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: we doing here?

707
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: What do we have?

708
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 5: That to me was ridiculous on the coaches end to

709
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: allow that why he is such a bad.

710
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: Team, which would have been worse sportsmanship him going for

711
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: one hundred points or someone taking him to the deck

712
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: when he went.

713
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: Back to all that would have taken him to the deck.

714
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 5: I would if I was like a parent watching that game,

715
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: I don't know how I would have handle that, because

716
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 5: he had I think like fifty five at halftime and

717
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 5: they were up, and then he still went out and

718
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: then the coach said that he had a personal goal

719
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: to break his own record or like a record in

720
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: the school that was like sixty one, and so he

721
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 5: broke the record and they just kept him out.

722
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: There was this kid's name Will Chamberlain. No, it was

723
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: not it was not check the bloodline.

724
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: I'd be looking for the TMC headline. Fox Sports radio

725
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: host interrupts game on floor.

726
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: Yep, that'd be me yes.

727
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 5: In the NBA, the Clippers right now lead the Lakers

728
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 5: thirty six to twenty nine after the first quarter. Lakers

729
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 5: just hit a shot Ruya Chimora right before the first

730
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 5: quarter ended. Luka Doncic is the leading score of the game.

731
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 5: He's got fourteen points, James Harden seven assists. He even

732
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 5: had a nice little leyup put Doncic on skates in

733
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 5: this quarter. Halfway through the third quarter between the Spurs

734
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 5: and the Jazz, San Antonio is up seventy six to

735
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: seventy one. Victor Wen Binyama seventeen points, nine rebounds and

736
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 5: three malocks. Early in the second quarter, the Trailblazers are

737
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 5: leading the Heat thirty nine to thirty three. Right now,

738
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 5: it just ended between the Bulls and the Timberwolves, and oh,

739
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 5: Minnesota's gonna wish they had this one back. The Bulls

740
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: went like four minutes without scoring with about six minutes

741
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 5: to go in the game, and Minnesota loses because Chicago

742
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 5: went on to finish the game sixteen to five points.

743
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: Wise between the last couple of minutes, and so the

744
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 5: Bulls won it twenty to one fifteen. Josh Gitty off

745
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: the bench return from that hamstring injury at twenty one

746
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 5: points and six rebounds.

747
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: Mavericks over the Warriors.

748
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: One twenty three to one to fifteen despite Steph Curry,

749
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 5: who had thirty eight points eight threes, also becomes a

750
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 5: first player with ten thousand attempts from beyond the arc.

751
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 5: The Nuggets took down the Wizards one oh seven to

752
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 5: ninety seven. Seventy six ers and Rockets went to overtime

753
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 5: and Philadelphia won at one twenty eight to one twenty two.

754
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid a triple double in the win.

755
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 5: In the NFL, the big news was that the Ravens

756
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,280

00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: or bre Saw Trevor Lawrence will win NFL MVP. These

790
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: are your four finalists. There's been a lot of talk

791
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: today about how Christian McCaffrey is nominated for basically every

792
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: single category this year.

793
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: Uh, just like last year. Uh, MVP comeback.

794
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: But to be honest, the OSCARS has turned into and

795
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, when can we reward someone for

796
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: the career they have or when can we reward someone

797
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: we'd like for a storyline we'd like. Right, That's what

798
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: the OSCARS has really become. And it's a shame because

799
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: the Oscars was never really a once. Once it became

800
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood became so overly about money in the creative process

801
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: was pushed to the side a little bit more like

802
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: this became came the Oscars. Hey, Lord of the Rings

803
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: made they made three movies in New Zealand and they

804
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: made they made, you know, five trillion dollars let's give

805
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: them everything for the last movie in a trilogy. Like Okay,

806
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: but if anybody other than Matthew Stafford wins the MVP,

807
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: then I'll be out on NFL MVP because now I

808
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: know voters are officially voting for storylines and their favorites

809
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: instead of who's on there.

810
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: Because you have last year.

811
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: Where hey, Lamar Jackson, he was the writer's MVP, right,

812
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: what But when it came to voting for MVP Offensive

813
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, okay, Josh Allen wins. Wait wait,

814
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: so so Lamar Jackson's an Offensive Player of the Year,

815
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: but when it came to MVP, people change their votes

816
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen. Josh Allen played defense. Let me look,

817
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: he did not, He only played quarterback. So now you

818
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: have people that wanted to said, oh yeah, I think

819
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: he was a better Offensive Player of the Year, but

820
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: he wasn't the MVP. So now you know people are

821
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: voting their favorites. And if somehow Drake may who really

822
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: is the only guy that threatens Matthew Stafford, Because to

823
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: be a running back to win, you have to have

824
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: and I mean, look, Saquon Barkley couldn't winning ran for

825
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: two thousand yards. Last year, Trevor Lawrence didn't quite have

826
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: the year. He had a nice year. I'm surprised he's fourth.

827
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: He had a nice year, but not quite the year

828
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: that Drake May had, which wasn't close to the year

829
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford. I mean, you're talking about a guy

830
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: that's responsed for nel fifteen more touchdowns. If somehow Drake

831
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: May wins, then you know it's about narrative and the

832
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: desire to have the next Tom Brady and turn Drake

833
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: May into Tom Brady.

834
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: And I'm out on the.

835
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: NFL MVP because this should be you look at a

836
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: production on the field, this should be Matthew Stafford and

837
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: it shouldn't even be close.

838
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 2: What do you mean they can't give it to Josh

839
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 2: Allen to make him feel better? Hey, sorry, you stuck

840
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: against the Broncos. Josh? Where to you them?

841
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: All the votes were in graduate that game came down

842
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: plenty more on the Oscars and some of those nominations

843
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: slash snubs or whatever. To go the fact that I

844
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: had to look up that Lord of the Rings actually

845
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: won Best Picture right now, and that's that's what get me. Well,

846
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: they won all the technical Awards. Now they won the

847
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: big one too again. They won the won Best Song

848
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: in the third movie in a trilogy one won everything.

849
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: To be fair, I mean, there were no nominations for

850
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: Wicked for Good. Well because the movie wasn't good. That's

851
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: why there's only one problem with Wicked for Good. It's

852
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: stunk wow problem. Many would argue that the first one

853
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: was no try. The first one was more an event

854
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: than it was great filmmaking. That's what it was. But

855
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: it was nominations a year ago. This year we did

856
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: that not so much. Here's part two. H When you

857
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: look at the Offensive Player of the Year versus m

858
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: v P, I've always thought it was dopey because we know,

859
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: unless something really crazy happens, the offensive players winning the

860
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: NVA Offensive Player and Micah Parson's winning m v P. Like,

861
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: that's not right. Do you just feel like you have to, Well,

862
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: we have a Defensive Player of the Year, so we've

863
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: got to have this Offensive Player of the Year. And

864
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: in the end, if it's split, I don't really care.

865
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: I mean, this becomes the trophy case kind of thing

866
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: and a crutch for arguments because in the end, don't

867
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: we always talk about winning? So shouldn't these all be

868
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: tabled till after everything's dust is settled, anyway, until it's done,

869
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: and you prove that once upon a time that you

870
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: were able to vanquish even the greatest of defensive foes

871
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: to win a world super Bowl, World Series. Yeah, but

872
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: that's but that's your then your super Bowl MVP. Yeah,

873
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: just rack them all up in one night. It's just

874
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: could be somebody else, you don't know, Joe Alt, if

875
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: it's not Stafford, I'm out on the MVP.

876
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: I'm out. I'm out.

877
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we got a big story out of

878
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. We're gonna tell you the future
