Speaker 4: That and much more.

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Rob Dibet a little NFL news and just the idea

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: that the Pittsburgh Steelers making some move. Dealless that's right

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: and break it down for us.

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: That's right. The Pittsburgh Steelers made another move.

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: This has been the off season of activity for Pittsburgh,

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: which is rare for them. Earlier on Monday, before NBA

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 5: Free agency kicked off, all the fireworks came out of

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 5: the NFL because the Pittsburgh Steelers executed a trade with

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins that saw them send all Pro safety

39
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: Minka Fitzpatrick and a future draft pick to the Miami

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: Dolphins for all Pro corner Jalen Ramsey and do Everything

41
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: tight end John new Smith. The move reunites John new

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 5: Smith with their offensive coordinator ars Arthur Smith, and more importantly,

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 5: it helps bolster at defense, which was already the highest

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: paid in football, but now they add the All Pro

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 5: Jalen Ramsey. Appears that Pittsburgh is going all in around

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers in twenty twenty five.

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: You want to go first, you go ahead. I'm all

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: in for this. Pittsburgh hasn't won a playoff game since

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. We're going on ten years.

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: Okay, just forget about getting to they haven't won a

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: playoff game out organization, the heat is on, I think

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: for the fan base, uh for Mike Tomlin, front office

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: ownership people are like, okay, and I'm cool with this

55
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: because the only reason you would go get an Aaron

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: Rodgers is you have to be all in. You're not

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: rebuilding one foot in, one foot out. That makes no sense.

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: So you put something together and you hope that you

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: can have a team that could possibly win a p

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're gonna win a championship or whatever,

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: but I do like, if I'm a Steelers fan, I'm

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: tired of the idea of finishing over five hundred. That

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: didn't mean anything to me. I never that whole streak

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 3: with Mike Tomin that doesn't do anything for me. Early

65
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: in his career when he won a Super Bowl like

66
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: that was good. This And then when they went to

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers and

68
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: they lost, you know what I mean, Like, Okay, they

69
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: won one, they went to another one like those were

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh days. You don't have to win all the time.

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: No one's gonna win all the time. But now you're

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: talking about twenty sixteen. I mean, my god, how long ago.

73
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: That's when I moved to la I mean, I've been

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: here forever. Now see his great hair. I didn't have

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: any of this in my goatee when I showed up

76
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: here ten almost ten years ago.

77
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: So that's a long time.

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: And it just makes sense to me to be all

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: in because after this, if you want to replace the coach, rebuild,

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, tear it down or whatever,

81
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: or you think, hey, we made a run, all people

82
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: care about is all you in the mix. And can

83
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: I get to the dance and have a chance to win?

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: Like anything can happen. Guys could be injured, you get

85
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: somebody could throw a bad pic. Like there's so many

86
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: things that could happen to you that you could take

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: a look at the team that's supposed to beat you,

88
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions or the number one seed. They're nine

89
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: and a half point favorites. They're at home, and guess

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: what quarterback what's to bend those three interceptions in a

91
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: fumble right? And all of a sudden, the Commanders are

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: on their way and not the Lions.

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: Like that's what can happen. So I'm cool with this.

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: If Pittsburgh gets gonna go out of their way to

95
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: bring in Aaron Rodgers, they need to do these steps,

96
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: put the best people around, make some moves. You can't

97
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: go with what you had last year, you know what

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and just say, well, the only difference is

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: we're just gonna change the quarterback.

100
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 6: They've made moves, and for once, I'm cool with it.

101
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 6: I'm actually not mad at making moves. I just don't

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 6: like who they made the moves for as much as

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 6: as maybe you do or some other people. I feel

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 6: like it's a reshuffling of the deck. I feel like

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 6: it's you know you, if you got it. Rob g

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 6: always has a nice haircut he gives himself, and he

107
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 6: got the part on his left side. It will be

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 6: like getting the same haircut, but they're putting a part

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 6: on the right side and be like, yo, I did

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: something different.

111
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: To me, it's the.

112
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 6: Same car, different paint, same girlfriend, just got a different name.

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 6: She looked the same act the same, just got it

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 6: for name. And that's my thing, Rob I actually and

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 6: with the all in. To me, some examples would be

116
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 6: when the Bucks were all in, when they got Tom Brady,

117
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 6: they brought back Grunk, they got Uh, they got a

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: b and that team to me, was already Taylor made

119
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 6: Tom and a couple of other pieces, was ready to

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 6: do something, especially in a bad division as they were

121
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 6: in back then the Rams when they were like, man,

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: we just need a von Miller, we need an Odell

123
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 6: Beckham junior, We need a Jalen Ramsey as the Steelers

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 6: just got a younger Jalen Ramsey. So to me those

125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 6: things made difference. Is when you had the quarterback who

126
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 6: was still willing and Dylan and you say, a couple

127
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 6: of piece here, one piece there, we should be good

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 6: to go. I don't think Aaron Rodgers, and again I

129
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 6: don't think he's gonna be bad. Let me be very clear,

130
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 6: but I don't think he gets you over the hump,

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 6: and I was looking at Crunch.

132
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: I disagree with you when you.

133
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: Talk about the hump. They won ten games with two quarterbacks.

134
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: They weren't happy with like.

135
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 4: That, like that.

136
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 6: So I'm glad you and I get what you're saying.

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 6: But my thing rob to that is Aaron Rodgers is

138
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 6: another year older, right, and that's just anybody we just

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 6: got up here to talking about the lebron last hour.

140
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 6: He's another year older, with a new offense, a new system,

141
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 6: and a team where he's already saying, yeah, this might

142
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: be my last. I guess this will probably be my last.

143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 6: To me, what it will take for them to win,

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 6: you need to have had something a massive shift and

145
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: if you look at me, to win a playoff game,

146
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 6: but they can't.

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: That is embarrassing right now.

148
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: It's not because you can't win a super Bowl when

149
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: you haven't won a playoff game, but you got to

150
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: first win a playoff game.

151
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is I'd rather just win a

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: playoff game with my new guy, who is we're building

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: towards something, meaning okay, just winning the wild card game

154
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 6: with Aaron Rodgers and then you lose in the next

155
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 6: round and he's gone next year. It was like, what

156
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: was the point, Like, Okay, we won one wild card game.

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 6: To me, I would rather build. I'd rather have my

158
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 6: Jaden Daniels, you know, my young guy Michael Pennick junior

159
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 6: bow Knicks and we got there.

160
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: Now we won. Okay, now we're trying to keep moving.

161
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: Maybe you don't, but maybe with that new guy, just

162
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: like Pennix. They the Falcons had a chance to go

163
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. They put them in and they actually

164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: didn't make the playoffs because they put a rookie quarterback.

165
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: Because they're trying to build it.

166
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: If the Falcons, man, you're excited about because you're excited

167
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 6: about what's the come. They saw Kirk Cousin throw more

168
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 6: interceptions than anything. But it's still about trying to get

169
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 6: into the play I'm saying it building towards something. I

170
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 6: think as a as a fan, have that quarterback. They

171
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 6: don't have that guy in place, and they didn't. They

172
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 6: were talking about this, and that's because they didn't want

173
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 6: to run.

174
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: No, they didn't believe. No, they didn't believe that bros

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: got no, hear me out. They didn't believe that those

176
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: quarterbacks are that. They think there's a better quarterback uh

177
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: class next year.

178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 6: But if they're trying to win the playoff game, they

179
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 6: ain't gonna get him. Well, but you don't. That's what

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: I'm saying, Belding, you either suck. You look, you either suck.

181
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 6: Be building towards something where you this. They suck like

182
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: you think they ought and they could get their quarterback

183
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: and they're going to suck. That's the problem. Said, you

184
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 6: got eight to nine.

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: I want to to be I think right here and

186
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: I want to do this today. I think this will

187
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 3: be your worst football take of all season. I've already

188
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: put it out there. You got them for eight wins.

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: I want to put a bet on that that you got.

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: Wait to see what TJ.

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 6: Why I got. That's a massive part of it. That's

192
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 6: the but you're telling me now that they're eight guys.

193
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you why because if it's the only

194
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 6: move and I was gonna get to this, sir. The

195
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 6: only reason I bring that up is because if TJ.

196
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 6: White was telling Robby this, he's the one to me

197
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 6: that Obviously he's great, he's great, we know that. But

198
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 6: if they get a haul for him right now, you

199
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you get another receiver, you get

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 6: a back, like if they get a Hall for TJ. Watt,

201
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 6: then we're having a different conversation. So I have to

202
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 6: say that's a massive part because now you might be

203
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 6: bringing in some very good pieces similar to what I mentioned.

204
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: But I said, the team is not good even where

205
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: they are now.

206
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 6: I'm saying, if you bring in how many people, yeah,

207
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 6: he's not good. So I'm saying if you get a

208
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 6: top receiver, say you get a number one or a

209
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 6: time said Aaron Rodgers is not right because I'm saying,

210
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 6: rob you need everything when you're not that great anymore,

211
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 6: you need everything around you. If this were Aaron Rodgers

212
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 6: six years ago, he good to go because he's that

213
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 6: Roger that.

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: Six years ago.

215
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes won fifteen games with the same stats.

216
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: He's not Patrick mahone.

217
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: He won fifteen game with the six a great defense,

218
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: were lucky, and a lot of things went the three games,

219
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 3: a lot of they had a great, great defense.

220
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: And then he went after and he made the I'm

221
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: glad you and then.

222
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: And then they were able to get to the super

223
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: Bowl somehow, even though they weren't really good.

224
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 6: Here's that they were really good. They just they definitely,

225
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 6: I'll give you a handful of games he was a

226
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 6: miskick or their kick hit the thing went in. But

227
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 6: the other part was that the officials they knew how

228
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 6: to win. And that's the difference of where Aaron Rodgers at.

229
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 6: It's not that he's gonna have horrible games every game.

230
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 6: It's that when it comes to making the play. If

231
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 6: if it's tied game and it's third and eight, he

232
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 6: might throw for six. Then they got a punt. And

233
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 6: where the difference is now At this point, Patrick Mahomes

234
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: can run for that third eight and they end up

235
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 6: winning the game by field goal. Wasn't a great game.

236
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 6: He didn't play his best. He made three to four

237
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: plays a game that won the game. I don't believe

238
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers can do that for the bulk of a season.

239
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 6: That's the difference right there. And if you look at

240
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 6: their numbers total offense, they were twenty second passing offense,

241
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 6: they were twenty seventh rushing.

242
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 4: They were eleventh that got rid of Nazi hears, hold on.

243
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 6: To this where I'm going with this, rob They did

244
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 6: all that with Russell Wilson, who was essentially was slightly.

245
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson will that they had two quarterbacks last year.

246
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 6: You got no, I'm saying they were slightly better. Russell

247
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 6: Wilson was slightly better than Aaron Rodgers. Just I'm talking

248
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 6: hair on both tarchin jins. And so to me, if

249
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 6: I got thesentially same guy and one is five six

250
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: years younger, and if that's kind of how we're running

251
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 6: it back, why not running back with that guy instead

252
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 6: of the guy who's another year older and who's still

253
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 6: coming off that achilles injury from a year ago. Forgo

254
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 6: whatever it wants over. I mean to me, I'm just

255
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 6: I don't get that part of it. And they're all

256
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: in and I just see a bunch of swaps, okay,

257
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 6: Meeka Fitzpatrick, Jayalen Ramsey, maybe a slight hair to Jalen

258
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 6: at this point, Jalen ain't Jalen when he.

259
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: Went to the Rams. At this point, you get George.

260
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 6: George Pickens is really good, but little hot head, little crazy,

261
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 6: I'll give you that.

262
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: So you go and leave him and get DJ me

263
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: Dk Metcalf.

264
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 6: It's not as if you had pickings on the outside

265
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: and DK Metcalf then I'm like, oh.

266
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they thought that they got pickings because of

267
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: some issue.

268
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 6: Right, But I'm saying you didn't. So now I only

269
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 6: got a guy. Though, you get what I'm saying. It's

270
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: not like you have a DJ Metcalf. You said he's

271
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 6: just a guy. No, I'm saying. I'm saying a singular guy,

272
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 6: mean I have one, just like you're not adding everything

273
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 6: you're doing.

274
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: I think the idea you're talking about eight games, I

275
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: think your way off. I think whether they make whether

276
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: TJ the Ravens, that's loss.

277
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: I'll split you with the with the Browns, split it

278
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: with him.

279
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 6: They might beat win both games with the MIC, I

280
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 6: ain't for I'll splitch it for sure.

281
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: With the Mangles, they ain't being the Mangles. They mean

282
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: the Mangles both.

283
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 6: And so to me, they just did a bunch of

284
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 6: swapping out George Biken one they won more.

285
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: They four and one with a quarterback who can't throw.

286
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: Last year to.

287
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: Start the season, they all went down here after that, No,

288
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 3: it didn't they they won five in a row.

289
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 4: How many they went after that rock five and after

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 4: that ruck?

291
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: I said they went down many they went after that

292
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: they sixth trade. They knew what they were doing and

293
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: that the idea that the quarterback that they had wasn't

294
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: a guy that they wanted, that's why they didn't keep them.

295
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 6: I don't agree with it. I'm agreeing with you, I

296
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 6: don't agree. I agree that that's what they chose because

297
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 6: clearly that's what they did. I don't agree with that.

298
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: They watched them in practice and all the other reasons.

299
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: He's way younger, he's got an upside, all folly and

300
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: all listening.

301
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: How long you've been covering this league?

302
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 6: Since nineteen eighty six NFL, I thought a NFL was

303
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 6: eighty six, no Baseball SOA and NFL eighty seven, So

304
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 6: since nineteen eighty seven? You telling me teams ain't made

305
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 6: a mistake. Sure they have, but that's all I'm saying.

306
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: I agree, we want to win the quarterback like that,

307
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: it was drafted high. Who's been on his four team

308
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: in three and four years? Everybody's wrong, everybody's I just

309
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: feel like I want to everybody's you tell me about

310
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: a quarterback has been traded that much or not wanted

311
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,920

Speaker 8: Hey?

369
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 7: I don't call very often. Maybe once a year something

370
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 7: will catch my ear and I just had time today.

371
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 7: Mister Washington, you said that you're gonna give the Chiefs

372
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 7: a handfull of games, right?

373
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: M hm uh?

374
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 9: They had a one.

375
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 7: Possession yes, here the Jets had ten one possession games

376
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 7: last year and the Steelers actually at nine one possession

377
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 7: games last year. So just this determination that you've landed

378
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 7: wait wait wait wait wait.

379
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: Can going though? What was the Kansas City Chiefs record

380
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 6: in those right?

381
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 4: Okay? So they clearly know how to win close games.

382
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: They've been a million very lucky left that lot. I

383
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: can see.

384
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 6: I just can see that you and Caleb, I gave

385
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 6: you a few that a kick win few rest.

386
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: They know how to win. You left to start out, Caleb, Caleb,

387
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 4: you know you're right.

388
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 7: I thought I was going to get to finish my point, Caleb,

389
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 7: So real quick, Okay, if you're coming to this determination

390
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 7: that the Steelers are clearly a sub five hundred team, right,

391
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 7: what what are where are we at on the Chiefs?

392
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 7: Are the Chiefs coming back to be a thirteen win

393
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: team based on what they did last year, because they

394
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 7: win these club games.

395
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: Eleven, twelve and up.

396
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I want to bet on that Holmes retired.

397
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: No, take his money. I'm doing it again. You know that, Caleb,

398
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: thank you? Hey g o'o. So all of a sudden,

399
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: the chiefs, oh, yeah, I could see them winning ten

400
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: games this year. So it's ten. They're ten and seven. Yeah, Like,

401
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 4: do you think they're going to the super Bowl again? I'm

402
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: asking you, No, I don't. I think they're I don't.

403
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: I think there's a chance that they that Patrick Mahomes

404
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: and that team never goes back to the super Bowl.

405
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 3: That's how convinced I am. As time goes on, I'm

406
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: just saying, when you look at the AFC and the

407
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: other that's what I'm saying. I think I'm saying, I

408
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: think this is Lamar Jackson Jerared. But do I think

409
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: they win eleven and up, twelve and up?

410
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah? They do? Andy got his receivers back.

411
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: Eric in Austin, Texas, you're in they couple of Fox

412
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: Sports Radio.

413
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: What's up? Eric?

414
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: What's up?

415
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: Kelvin?

416
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 8: How you guys doing what?

417
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 7: I mean?

418
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: Good?

419
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 8: How are you I'm good, man, I'm good. So here's

420
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 8: the here's the problem. But now you're a problem because

421
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 8: I see we are both are coming from Kelvin. I

422
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 8: get would you say, because if you're biking on Aaron

423
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 8: Rodgers from one year, you don't have your guy. But

424
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 8: like you said, he didn't watching a holdout and we

425
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 8: just saw today. I'm kind of I was kind of

426
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 8: shot that they traded Minka. So if they're willing the

427
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 8: part with Minka, they might be willing the par TJ.

428
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 8: And if you can part with TJ, you can get

429
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 8: a couple first out draft his back. You're also right

430
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 8: they don't have a number two wide receiver. They need

431
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 8: a number two receiver, desc believe. And I also questioned

432
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 8: the move of traded for another tight end because they

433
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 8: already had two cable tight ends and Pat Bryant move

434
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 8: and Darne at Washington. So I'm assuming at this point

435
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 8: Steels are all in on trying to make moves.

436
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: To win now.

437
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 8: But I'm with Rob, I think the Steers will be

438
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 8: way better than you think, Kelly. Aaron Aaron Rodgers is

439
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 8: still Aaron Roddings, Like yeah.

440
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 4: For three years, No, you're not.

441
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 8: You just have Kelviyvin. Look, if you look at his

442
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 8: numbers on the Jet, kar Rodbers still put up numbers

443
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 8: on the Jets given despite everything.

444
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 6: Yes, and I'm glad, I'm glad you mentioned that. You

445
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 6: know what those were. They're called pointless points. He gets

446
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 6: twenty points but can't win the game. And that's the difference.

447
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: K you want to do the end of the games?

448
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 6: I want rob g. I want us to figure this out.

449
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

450
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: How many of those games did the opponent score against

451
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: the Jets to win the game at the end last year?

452
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 4: I bet you it's about four? Why fo fourth? Yes,

453
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: go wi fo.

454
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 6: Pat Mahomes teams always seen to find a way to

455
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 6: get it done. I told you, because they got the

456
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers when it comes to comeback, especially the good,

457
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 6: good teams. Even when he was a packer, he struggles

458
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 6: to beat good teams when he if he's down five

459
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 6: or six or seven, he can't win those. Patrick mahonmes

460
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 6: with a whole that find it, because I used to

461
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 6: be my favorite. Find that when he's a five hundred

462
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 6: or above team and he's down.

463
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: I watched him.

464
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: I watched him beat the San Francisco forty nine ers

465
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 3: on a Monday night with thirty two seconds to go?

466
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: Did you watch that game or I saw him throwing

467
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: hell married to beat the Lions at the end of

468
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: the year.

469
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 4: That weren't a good Lions team. Oh really? Yes?

470

478
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 9: It's hot in Oregon today.

479
00:20:59,320 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 8: I got a bone.

480
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 9: I got a bone to pick with you, Rob. Yes,

481
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 9: you always are seeing Aaron through a little bit of

482
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 9: rose colored glasses.

483
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 8: I think a little bit.

484
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 9: I'm going to tell you it's about the playoffs, you know,

485
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 9: regardless if they're ten and seven, if they're nine, you know,

486
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 9: nine and eight or even eleven and six, and have

487
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 9: a great season again in the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers is

488
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 9: an all time underachiever in the playoffs. This guy, I

489
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 9: mean the last game he won thirteen to ten against

490
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 9: the Niners and then just lost it at home in Lambeau.

491
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 9: The next year, Jordan Love comes in. They just molly

492
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 9: wopped the Cowboys on the road right and over achieve.

493
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 9: Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback, but he's old, and

494
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 9: I just don't see how many.

495
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: How many, how many?

496
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 9: How's he getting those start?

497
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 3: Michael, Let me ask you to That's what I said, Michael, Michael,

00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: One question.

500
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: How many games playoff games did Aaron Rodgers play? What

501
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: a packer where the defense gave up forty or more points?

502
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: Do you know? Do you? I'm asking no, no, no, no, no,

503
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: I'm asking you.

504
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 9: Yes, you can tell me.

505
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: At least six.

506
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: Times he lost the game where the defense gave up

507
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: forty points. No, no, no, And it ain't forty points

508
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: off of three turnover, three one interceptions when they ran

509
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: it back. He had one of the worst defenses Tom

510
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 3: Brady in his whole career. Everytime the defense gave up

511
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: one forty points one time, one time. That's it, all right,

512
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: Just remember this day.

513
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,560

00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 6: wasn't because when they.

515
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 4: Locked seven starters out It didn't matter. It didn't matter.

516
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: Lost that game, Jared Golf had you had to do

517
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: with the defense. They were nine and a half point

518
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 3: favorites at home with the injuries. The injuries didn't happen

519
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 3: due the game. Injury didn't because no, that wasn't why.

520
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: They literally he looked like the greatest quarterback to walk play.

521
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 6: Golf had three interceptions in a farm ad waiting on

522
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 6: not stop, Antonio.

526
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,200

563
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: Like these three teams what in the next five years

564
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: or something like that. Yep, it just seemed like those

565
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: are in Cleveland, they couldn't even sell a team either.

566
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: Nobody wanted it. Detroit they had to move. I was told,

567
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: you know, from some playoffs guard what like, those two

568
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: cities already failed at the WN.

569
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 6: But the shock were weird just because they had when

570
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 6: winning and they were like determined.

571
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 4: They couldn't sell tickets though.

572
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 6: Also you know, they were in the biggest uh arena

573
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 6: in the NBA, the Palace Auburn Hills was but still

574
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 6: they was twenty something thousands, but they still couldn't sell tickets.

575
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: And even people showed up for the championship, like because

576
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: people just want to be around a winner and have

577
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: some fun. But they weren't actually selling tickets. And that's

578
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting. Want to we want to bring back

579
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: all those sports? It would have been no, I'm not

580
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: going to me. It would have been just nice to

581
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: form up the league that you have. But I get it.

582
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 3: You just got an expansion team in San Francisco and

583
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: not just seemed like they didn't They didn't turn a

584
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 3: profit this past year.

585
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,840

596
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 4: on it.

597
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: Antonio Daniels, that's what he's working. Man in show business,

598
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean the w NBA. We saw this when Caitlyn

599
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: wasn't playing and everything.

600
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 4: Went back to normal.

601
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: And there are a lot of teams why it can't be

602
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: a new normal, Rob everything. There are a lot of

603
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: teams that still sell six thousand tickets. I'm not dude,

604
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they gotta sell out every night. Three

605
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: expansion teams. I was just shocked by that. That's just

606
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: the big bet on Kaitlyn Clerk.

607
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 4: I mean she well, I.

608
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 6: Would argue and a handful of like you know, Juju's

609
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 6: come in pre dominantly.

610
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: It's on one person, like she has moved the needle

611
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 5: in a way that what maybe Tiger Woods is probably

612
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: the closest comparison where it's like that singular person can

613
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: elevate these I.

614
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: Would and those who are great, and I would just

615
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: add probably Serena to them.

616
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe Serena gig where it's just like you have

617
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 6: to stop, hold on, this is big you're talking about.

618
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And and there have been reports in the Athletic

619
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 5: that said that her value to the league is like

620
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 5: a billion dollars.

621
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: I don't think that's right.

622
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 5: And and if that's the case, then why not strike

623
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,239
Speaker 5: while the iron is hot and add these expansion teams? Well,

624
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 5: because new marketing money and new commercial money and.

625
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: New especially areas like San Francisco.

626
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: But that's that's nice, like that, like it sounds great

627
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: until you actually you know, like like have to do

628
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: the business of it, Like you're right, oh, just take

629
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: the money from the own new ownership or whatever. But

630
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: now you're going to these places when she's not there,

631
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: they're four thousand people in the house. I'm just saying,

632
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: like they can take the league to where it was

633
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 3: and try to prop it up to continue to build

634
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: on it, rather than just trying to run with it

635
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: the other way.

636
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 8: I do.

637
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 6: I do think there's an element where they do both,

638
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 6: where we know absolutely like a sellout for us is

639
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 6: only eight thousand, so like, let's not make it the

640
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: you know, fifteen thousand in the.

641
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 4: Numbers when she was injured held up you know what?

642
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: And I don't mean exactly like didn't bottom out that

643
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: maybe I would feel a little bit better.

644
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: But what the game did almost two million? That was

645
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 4: the game that wow. At the beginning of her injury,

646
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 4: they thought she was still now the w NBA. As

647
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 4: soon as they realized she wasn't playing, they.

648
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 6: Went home halftime, they went off the cliff stop it.

649
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 4: So I do.

650
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 6: And I also think Robbie, to add to this, I

651
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 6: know you put a lover, how many games have you

652
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 6: gone to zero?

653
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: All right?

654
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: How many games that illustrative of whether or not I'm

655
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: just asking you, like, because I would rather watch a

656
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: game on TV than go to the arena. Ron play

657
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 5: in person and he's been in the league just twenty

658
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: eight years.

659
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: I just know a lot. I talk to people. Nobody,

660
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: I don't know anybody will goes to the game, but

661
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: they but they talk about it and they watch Rob G.

662
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: I'm a sports person. I don't know anybody.

663
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 6: People watch people. I'm not saying the WNBA's NFL. Come

664
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 6: on now, that's ridiculous. I didn't say that, but what I know, No, no, no,

665
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 6: I'm just saying so we know it's never gonna be that.

666
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 6: But honestly, dude, the last two to three years, even

667
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 6: starting in college basketball, like three years ago, this is

668
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 6: the dude with South Carolina with obviously U Khan, with

669
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 6: Andrew Rees and that LSU team and then Caitlyn Clarker.

670
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 6: We've been talking more women's college basketball for the last

671
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 6: four or five years into the w NBA.

672
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 4: It's been shocking. And I'm telling you, Juju is coming.

673
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 4: Page is there.

674
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 6: They got a couple other players coming, and I just

675
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 6: think Rob that's why Rob park G. That's why I think, yes,

676
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 6: Kaitlyn is the snake, the head of the snake, but

677
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 6: I think they see what's coming, like Juju is gonna

678
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 6: be a phenomenon as well.

679
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: And I think that they're banking on her being able

680
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: to bring so many eyeballs so that once they're there,

681
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 5: they see, oh man, Paige Beckers is incredible. Oh Juju's

682
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 5: watch might be me the best player I've ever seen.

683
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: Kind of a thing.

684
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: And so they've they've had great players. I mean, none

685
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: of them have capt imagine.

686
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: There's only one Caitlyn, I agree, but the other ones

687
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: you're talking about that right, But she's not gonna be Kaitlyn.

688
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: She's not gonna be can give you that. But but

689
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 4: I don't have to everybody don't have to be Tiger.

690
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying to you is that there were

691
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: Sheryl Swoops, and I know that there have been great

692
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: women's basketball players, So don't act like there's never been

693
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: any into w n B A and now all of

694
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: a sudden, this is the new one. Here's what I say,

695
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: Kaitlyn Clark, which is put this on a different That's

696
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: all I'm setting.

697
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 6: If I'm the NBA and I gave you your magic

698
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 6: and your bird, and now you would say, oh never,

699
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 6: we ain't never gonna see nothing like this magic bird.

700
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 4: And then Michael Jordan comes in.

701
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 6: Like there can be where all eyeballs are on, like

702
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 6: oh shoot, this is a real thing, and then you

703
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 6: and so meaning Juju can come in and be right

704
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 6: there where like, yes, Caitlyn put the eyes here in

705
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 6: the mark really high. But then Juju and Paige and

706
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 6: a couple other young players gonna be bigger.

707
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: Than Kaitlyn Clark. I'm just asking you, I don't.

708
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 6: Think she'll be the phenomenal the way she's gonna be

709
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 6: bigger than Kaitlyn Clark. I know, because I think Caitlyn's

710
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 6: like the ceiling was so high, but when you played

711
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 6: at USC, the numbers weren't like as good as just

712
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 6: telling everybody was at them games. I'm talking about the

713
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 6: TV numbers that Caitlyn put up for the national championship

714
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 6: on national television.

715
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying she was a different animal. And I'm not

716
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: saying that Juju is not a great women's player Kaitlyn.

717
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: It was people got caught up on her because you

718
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: didn't play like a typical women basketball player.

719
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: That's that's that was the No, that's a fact. What

720
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

721
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 6: All I'm saying, Rob g and I are saying is

722
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 6: now that the eyes are there. The retention of some

723
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 6: will be greater than normal. Meaning if you just had

724
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 6: Caitlyn and then she became kind of normal, you just

725
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 6: used to her and you had nothing else to offer.

726
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 6: I agree that it's gonna drop, but I think the

727
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 6: goal is to have the attention so high in and

728
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: then you retain some of those eyes because you got

729
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: a Jews, you gotta page backers, you got Asia Will,

730
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 6: you got some other and then you uh, and then

731
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 6: you start to reel in and people stick.

732
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying.

733
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: I just think it's a phenomenon. Doesn't happen all the time.

734
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: I know what they're trying to do, and I get it,

735
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, I get it. But

736
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, when she's not around or heard

737
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: or whatever, those are the things that should scare you.

738
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 6: So it's either loudest ec or crickets which aint meting between?

739
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,840

766
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 6: So you weren't here rob you were on vacation. We

767
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 6: had of course some obviously co hosts were filling in

768
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 6: a couple of days, two days, and the conversation as

769
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant comes to the Rockets and some other things.

770
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 6: We had some guests on Eddie House, Rasha Phillips. We

771
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 6: were talking about the Rockets and the move they made

772
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 6: with Katie and some other moves that they were making.

773
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: And I said, you know, I've been saying I thought

774
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 6: that was a great move them getting KD before he came.

775
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 6: Then he gets there, and now, man, they're winning the offseason,

776
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 6: or at least today, obviously there's still some time. You

777
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 6: get Kevin Durant, you keep Fred Van Vliet, You keep

778
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 6: Shangoon who is twenty and ten guy different and can

779
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 6: give you a different punch than Kevin Durant. Kenvin Durant's

780
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,640

825

Speaker 6: you know, hardened Kyrie and on he you know, says

826
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 6: for COVID, maybe they get one if the COVID didn't

827
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 6: because you know, Kyrie wouldn't get the shot, and a

828
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 6: whole bunch of things happened in injuries. But this is

829
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 6: a really, really good team, this Rocket team. You talking

830
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 6: about a team that was second in the West and

831
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 6: then somehow find a way to get better.

832
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 4: Kudos to them right now. I like what the Rockets

833
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: are doing.

834
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not there. I'm still not convinced that they're

835
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: going to be the team in the West. I don't

836
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: know what Kevin Durant, you know, injuries, I don't. I mean,

837
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: he gets hurt.

838
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 6: But I'm talking about the rest of the team took

839
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 6: but without Kevin durant I mean, you think even without

840
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 6: Kevin Durantyre gonna go to the championship.

841
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 4: No, they need him, but they got some nice pieces. No,

842
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 4: I mean goodness. Last year people.

843
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: Looked at them and thought they were going to make

844
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 3: a run and they got knocked out.

845
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 4: Right, A young team.

846
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: I understand if you look at Kevin durant if he

847
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: can stay healthy, that's always a sixty five games. To me,

848
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: it was just weird how bad things turned out. And

849
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 3: Phoenix yeah, and Phoenix no.

850
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 4: But all knew. I knew.

851
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: Let me say that a lot of I promise you

852
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: I knew. I said what a lot of people will

853
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: agree with that. I want to go back. We could

854
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 3: go back when they put them together.

855
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 6: Why though, that would be like me having you know,

856
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 6: k and yo kids, Like okay, that's great for scoring rebounds,

857
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 6: but like who's playing d or who's hitting threes or who?

858
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 6: Like you need some versatility. I only say that because

859
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 6: they're showing yokis and the moves that the Nuggets have made.

860
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 6: They made some nice moves to me and Robb Gi

861
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 6: was just talking about they got Bruce Brown back, who

862
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 6: was part of that championship team, even.

863
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 3: After firing Michael Malone, Right.

864
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they I mean they got the game seven

865
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 6: and you know the with the thunder, you know you

866
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 6: win that you never know. But they made some nice

00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: pieces like Bruce Brown coming back. What's gonna be fun again? Yeah,

868
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 6: Michael Porter Junior.

869
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: I'm not just ready to nab to turn everything over

870
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: to the Rockets, even though they're making moves.

871
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 4: And I get paper is different from.

872
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 6: Actuary, but it's rare that you're a number two seed,

873
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 6: had a good season, won a bunch of games, and

874
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 6: you know, especially for how young they are, and this

875
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 6: is only e Mays at the time, the second year,

876
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 6: and for you then to turn around and get KD

877
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 6: and get some other nice pieces.

878
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 4: The Rockets are rocketing right now.

879
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,759

880
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 6: fun team in the West next season.
