I'm 36 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 5: telling you right now, but honestly, they're passing the men. 37 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 5: It's a better game than the men. They're playing defense 38 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 5: and both ends of the courts. They're playing both both sides, offense, defense. 39 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 5: Forty eight minutes. They're doing it all. They really are. 40 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 5: It was an enjoyable game to watch, and obviously the 41 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 5: Olympic team lost to the All Stars, which is a 42 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 5: great game. I mean, I don't think I ever have 43 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 5: watched the WNBA All Star Game beforehand, but I think 44 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: with the Angel reaches of the world, the Caitlyn Clarks, 45 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 5: I tuned in and it was great and it was 46 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 5: like something like sixteen thousand people there. 47 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure you watched it as well. 48 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, great, it was fantastic for it to be kind 49 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 6: of the spectacle and actually to see everything around the 50 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 6: WNBA All Star Game, there's a lot of interest. I 51 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 6: feel like the women are running with the baton and 52 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 6: the increased attention and exposure that they've been given, and 53 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 6: I think this has been great for the game. And 54 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 6: then the fact that they were able to knock off 55 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 6: Team USA that certainly, uh may change a little bit 56 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 6: of a narrative around the league, but it does bring 57 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 6: some questions and some horror conversations that we'll have to 58 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 6: have about Teams USA, no. 59 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: Doubt about that. 60 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 5: Okay, I want to go back to Friday night because 61 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 5: I had the three point Contest all right, and I 62 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 5: think not to have Caitlin Clark and for the New 63 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 5: York Liberty, Sabrina and Escu not performing in the three 64 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 5: point thing, it is kind of like almost like Lebron 65 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 5: James not performing in the Dunk Contest in the WA 66 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: NBA or the NBA All Star Weekend. You have to 67 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 5: have these people there. And when they asked Caitlin Clark, 68 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 5: she really did not say why she didn't perform in it. 69 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 5: She kind of backed up, but I think on Escuba said, well, 70 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 5: she's just coming off the college game, and she's tired. 71 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 5: She needs a day off. That's not true, you know, 72 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 5: and I know why she didn't play. I believe she 73 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 5: didn't play. A She's tired of the ridicule, she's tired 74 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 5: of people picking on her, and b she didn't want 75 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 5: it all to be about her, because you know, if 76 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: she was in the three point deal, the whole thing 77 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 5: would be about her. I think she's tired of it. 78 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 5: She needs a mental rest. One day is not going 79 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 5: to get it done. And I think that the fact 80 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 5: that she backed out of that three point deal tells 81 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 5: everybody and anybody you could read through the lines there 82 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 5: that she is tired of people just hounding her, picking 83 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 5: on her and creating story. I read a story yesterday 84 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 5: about one of the trainers saying that she's hated. I mean, look, 85 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 5: that's not unusual. You played the game, you were in 86 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 5: the NFL. You know there are players that I hated. 87 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 5: Why because they're good? This envy, this jealousy, that's why 88 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: players I hated. Lebron James is probably hated not only 89 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 5: by fans because he's the villain, but he's probably hated 90 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 5: by other players. That's just the way they that's the 91 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 5: way it is. It's always been that way, it always 92 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: will be that way. You know that, Buck. It's true 93 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 5: players I hated. There are haters out there. 94 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, there are haters. 95 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 6: I think she talked about just being tired, you know, 96 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 6: just kind of being tired everyone to take a step back. Now, 97 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 6: when you're tired and you want to take a step back, 98 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 6: you probably ask out of all of the activities of 99 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 6: All Star Weekend, but she participated. But I do believe 100 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 6: there is something to the fatigue factor. She has been 101 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 6: NonStop on the move man for like four plus seasons 102 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 6: plus now jumping right into the NBA w NBA thing. 103 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 6: It's a lot and I think for her taking a 104 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 6: step back, taking some time off as much needed. But 105 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 6: I will say this when it comes to her, I 106 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 6: feel like the buzz around her game has been positive 107 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 6: because what has happened is those early weeks when she 108 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 6: was struggling and getting knocked around in those things. We 109 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 6: have and talked about that as much because she's become 110 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 6: the consummate playmaker. You think about what she's been doing 111 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 6: with her assists, nineteen assists one night she had ten 112 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 6: assists in the All Star Game. She has figured it 113 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 6: out and unlocked a different part of her game, and 114 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 6: so I think there's maybe a growing appreciation for how 115 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 6: the young star is now beginning to show some of 116 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 6: the things that she showed in Iowa, even though her 117 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 6: game is different. You know, she's playing a different type 118 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 6: game now that she's played at IWA, because she has 119 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 6: become more the distributor than the finisher like she was 120 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 6: with the Hawk Eys. 121 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 5: You make a great point because the college season endings 122 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 5: what March, late March, mid March, whatever it may be, 123 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 5: and a month later the WNBA season starts. As far 124 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: as the medic concern, they finished in March, but the 125 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 5: NBA doesn't start until late September's training camp. So there 126 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 5: you go, right there now being a playmaker. 127 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 2: You're correct. 128 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 5: Last night in the Old Star game, she did have 129 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: tennis assists. One assist shy of the Old Star record 130 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 5: of Sue Bert. And she's such a she knows what 131 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 5: to say. Okay, someone asked her about, Hey, you know 132 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 5: you had one more for the records. 133 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: Who's record? 134 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: She's not. 135 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 5: I won't take that from her. She's my homie. I mean, 136 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: she knows what to say. She's doing it the right way. 137 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 5: She's not attacking people. She may be under her breath 138 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 5: feeling like she'd like to attack some of the people 139 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: that have attacked her, but she's staying above board. 140 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: She's doing it the right way. 141 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 5: And leaven last night when she handed off to Angel 142 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: Reese who was her teammate, and gave her an assist. 143 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: It's working out well. 144 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 5: I think that people in the league right now are 145 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 5: beginning to gel and understand that, Yeah, she is helping us. 146 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 5: She is making this league relevant. She really is. And look, 147 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 5: people are coming to see her play. If you look 148 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 5: at the attendance figures around the WNBA, you know when 149 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 5: the Indiana fever travels around the league, it's them and 150 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 5: her that are bringing the crowds in, no one else. 151 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: That's basically it. 152 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 5: I didn't know who else was doing that three point 153 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 5: deal because she was knitted on Esco was knitted So 154 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 5: I really Thant wrote that familiar with the other performers 155 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 5: in that three point deal. 156 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: You got to have the stars playing. That's basically what 157 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: it's all about. 158 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 6: I mean, in the perfect world, what you would be 159 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 6: labeled in Andy is a casual right. That's what the WNBA, 160 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 6: the NBA. The young people that around basketball will call 161 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 6: you because you casually pop in and pop out, and 162 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 6: so you want to see the stars because that's what 163 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 6: brings you to the game. But for others, the hardcore 164 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 6: fans are saying no, like like put the heart core 165 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 6: ladies in there. 166 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 8: They should figure it out. 167 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 6: They'll know what I will say when you talk about like, 168 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 6: there's no doubt there. There's been a lot of exposure 169 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 6: to the WNBA in those things. 170 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 8: Kaitlin Clark has been a great contributor to that. 171 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 6: But I also will say Andrew Rees, Cameron Brinks, some 172 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 6: of the young crew have played a huge role in 173 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 6: bringing more people to the game. When you look at 174 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 6: what they're doing now in the WNBA in comparison to 175 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 6: what they used to do years ago, they're now copying 176 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 6: some of the things that the NBA is doing in terms. 177 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 8: Of, hey, showing the ladies. 178 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 6: Arriving to the game and the ladies in their fits 179 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 6: before the game. So what they're doing is humanizing the 180 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 6: faces in the jerseys. You're now getting the greater sense 181 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 6: of their personalities outside of. 182 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 8: The game away from the court. 183 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 6: You're seeing Angel Reese wear outfits, You're seeing some of 184 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 6: these other ladies wear their outfits, and so it's become 185 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 6: a more expressive thing. 186 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 8: And as humans, we. 187 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 6: Connect the more that we know about people, because it's 188 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 6: about relationships and relatability. 189 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 8: And so the. 190 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 6: League has done a really good job of kind of 191 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 6: opening things up, allowing these ladies to show more themselves. 192 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 6: And because of that, I think it has been a 193 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 6: mutually beneficial relationship with the fans and the new fans 194 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 6: that are coming to the game. 195 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. 196 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 5: And let's talk about money, because everything revolves around money. 197 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 5: It's all about the gelt, It's all about the green cabage. 198 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: You know that. 199 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 5: I know that everybody knows that. Why do I bring 200 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 5: up money? Flipcus the WNBA and that was going to 201 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,599 Speaker 5: get about two hundred million bucks a year part of 202 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 5: this new NBA recently approved media rights deal. NBA kind 203 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: of hold up a media rights deal eleven years, seventy 204 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 5: six million dollars, all right, you know, two hundred million 205 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 5: a year is not bad, all right, And it's an 206 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 5: increase of about one hundred and forty million for the WNBA. 207 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: However, you know someone's not happy. 208 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 5: The executive director of the WNBA Players Union Terry Jackson said, 209 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,119 Speaker 5: this came out just the other day that the WNBA 210 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 5: is being undervalued at two point two billion with a 211 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 5: b over eleven years. And again, remember one thing, that 212 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 5: the WNBA is being kept afloat by the NBA. 213 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: And the fact of the matter is that, look, there's. 214 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 5: Only thirty six games in the season compared to the 215 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 5: NBA's eighty two. And in life, let's face it, in life, 216 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 5: there are people who do similar jobs don't get similar pay. 217 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 5: That that's basically what it's all about. I mean, you 218 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 5: watch TV anchors, all right. The TV anchor maybe on 219 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 5: ABC is not getting the same amount of money as 220 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 5: a TV anchor in NBC. You could do the same job, 221 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 5: but you're not going to get the same pay. That's 222 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 5: basically what it's all about. I'm not so certain the 223 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 5: WNBA is being undervalued. They should be tickled pink that 224 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 5: the NBA is throwing them the life preserver to stay afloat. 225 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 6: I mean, I said initially, but I think in listening 226 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 6: to some of the stuff that I've heard executives around 227 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 6: the WNBA talked about, they were saying, look, this league 228 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 6: has only been in existence for twenty seven years, when 229 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 6: you think about what the NBA was doing. Even back 230 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 6: when they had the thirty fifth anniversary and thirty five 231 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 6: on their jerseys, they still were operating some with tape 232 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 6: delay games of the finals where they didn't show all 233 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 6: of the finals live. 234 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 8: So if you. 235 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 6: Measure them by what the NBA was at the same stage, look, 236 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 6: they're ahead of the games, they're on track. When she's 237 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: talking about the undervaluing, maybe it's about look at what 238 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 6: the stars are. Look at how the TV has lined 239 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 6: up this year with just no, it's not going down. 240 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 8: It's only going to go up. 241 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 6: As more young stars coming to this league that have 242 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 6: brands and a track record with the public, we only 243 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 6: are going to have more eyeballs on the game. And 244 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 6: so maybe right now people aren't looking with a proper 245 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 6: perspective in terms of what it could be. They're looking 246 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 6: at what it is and what it was, and not 247 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 6: necessarily casting that eye to the future in terms of 248 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 6: what the NBA would look what the WNBA would look 249 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 6: like in five, ten, maybe even fifteen years. 250 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 5: I buy that. I'll hear what you say. Okay, but 251 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 5: here's the deal. You throw that term out of casual fan. 252 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 5: I got to believe that maybe I was somewhat of 253 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 5: a casual fan because besides Angel reason creaton Clark. Really 254 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 5: and truly, I don't think there are many people interested, 255 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: and the attendance numbers prove it. 256 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: I mean, when Indiana. 257 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 5: Played Atlanta this year in Atlanta, they had to move 258 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 5: out of the venue that they played in Atlanta to 259 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 5: get a bigger venue because the amount of people are 260 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 5: going to the games. 261 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to continue. 262 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if the Caitlin Clark magic 263 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 5: is going to continue year in a year. 264 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. 265 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 5: I mean, maybe it will. I mean, she's developing into 266 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 5: a great player right now. She's getting it right. She 267 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: was named Rookie of the Month this month and the WNBA, however, 268 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 5: maybe the Harney moon will be over soon. I know, 269 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 5: we'll see when the NFL season starts. If there's still 270 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 5: an interest in the WNBA, I don't know. I think 271 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 5: it's still a shaky slope that the WNBA is on. 272 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 5: They're on their verge moving upward. But we'll continue, that's 273 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 5: the question right there. So for the WNBA executive director 274 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 5: to come out and say we're undervalued, hold it. Put 275 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 5: the brakes on just a little bit. You know, it's 276 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 5: a little too soon, I think to make that decision. 277 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 6: Maybe, But also you got to understand, like from their 278 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 6: vantage point, they always want to speak positive into it, 279 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 6: because the more that she talks about being undervalue, the 280 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 6: more we eventually have to talk about money going to 281 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 6: the pockets of the players, and their job is to 282 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 6: make sure that the players get their fair share. 283 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 8: Of the pie. 284 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 6: Maybe it's a little posturing and some of that. So 285 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 6: the statement is real, but it's also slanted and sued 286 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 6: with the note towards. 287 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 8: Making sure that the players get their fair share of 288 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 8: the pie. 289 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 5: You know, I don't get it. You know, I'm not 290 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 5: a money person. I really don't. I'm terrible with money anyway. 291 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 5: I can't even balance a checkbook. However, when I read 292 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 5: the other day that the WNBA is losing one hundred 293 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 5: million dollars a year, and then last night I see 294 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 5: the Phoenix Mercury have this new practice facility for fifty 295 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 5: million dollars. I assume the league didn't pay, but I 296 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 5: assume the ownership of the Phoenix Mercury paid for that. 297 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 5: But where's this money coming from? How does a business 298 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 5: stay afloat if you're losing one hundred million dollars. 299 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: Help me out with that. I don't get it. 300 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm waiting to see if the players checks 301 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 5: are bouncing. I don't get it. How do you lose 302 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 5: that kind of money and you still stay afloat? How 303 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 5: you say you're run the valued I don't get it. 304 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 6: Well, One, you're attached to a huge brand. Obviously, the 305 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 6: NBA is crushing it. Just talked about the media deal 306 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 6: that they did. Every NBA owner understands that if we 307 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 6: are willing to kind of continue to pour into this league, 308 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 6: it's going to pay off tenfold. You think about being 309 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 6: able to open up the game to more fans, it's 310 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 6: like a different avenue to bring in people that can 311 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 6: watch by jersey, these by merchandise and those things. No 312 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 6: different than the NFL making a very strategic decision to 313 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 6: get all in behind flag football and the Flag Championships 314 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 6: that are taking place this weekend, and how that not 315 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 6: only opens it up for people that don't play tackle football, 316 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 6: but it opens up this huge lanes for girls and 317 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 6: ladies that want to participate in the spar because now 318 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 6: they're playing and all football is football they're more aptive 319 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 6: by jerseys and those things. All of this is done 320 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 6: with the design towards expanding the base and making sure 321 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 6: that you always have people that are interested in the game, 322 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 6: not only for this year, but for the next five, ten, 323 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 6: fifteen years. 324 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 5: All right, Okay, I hear what you say. Now, let's 325 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 5: get back to the game itself. One seventeen one O nine. 326 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 5: The All Stars defeat the US national team. How bad 327 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 5: does that look for the US national team going to 328 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 5: now to France to play It's hard to defend the 329 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 5: gold medal? What does that do? I mean, do they 330 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 5: go back to the drawing Winston, we made a mistake. 331 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't understand how that could happen. And 332 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: we'll get to the men's game a little bit, But 333 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 5: how does that happen that the All Stars can beat 334 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 5: the team that's representing our country? That to me doesn't 335 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 5: make any sense. It's almost as bad as when the 336 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 5: Holland Glow Charters lose. 337 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 8: A little bit. So a couple of different things. 338 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 6: You want to make sure that many do they have 339 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 6: the right team, and not only because a lot of 340 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 6: the conversation when they were picking the team was about 341 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 6: Kaitlyn Clark, but did they miss anybody else from the 342 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 6: w NBA that could be should be on that team 343 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 6: For the WNBA, it kind of legitimizes the league in 344 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 6: the sense of everyone talked about, you know, Kaitlyn Clark 345 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 6: coming in and how they should be thankful and on 346 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 6: their hands and knees that she arrived. 347 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 8: And some of that is true. The students should be. 348 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 6: Gracious towards Kaitlyn Clark. She and a part of that 349 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 6: crew that came in had brought more eyeballs there. But 350 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 6: I think there's a disrespect that was given to the 351 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 6: ladies that were already in the WNBA playing This allows 352 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 6: us to see how good those ladies are for them 353 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 6: to take down Team USA, a team that hasn't lost much. 354 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 6: I think there's sixty six and three over any long 355 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 6: period of time. Yeah, this is one that was good 356 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 6: for the WNBA. 357 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it was great. I mean, 358 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: it creates a lot of conversation right now. But you know, 359 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: Irique was school watch. She was like thirty four points, 360 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 5: she was like twenty one points in the third quarter, 361 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 5: she gets the MVP. Why isn't she on the on 362 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 5: the national team? I mean, she said she didn't want 363 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: to be on it. She told her to take a 364 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 5: deep breath and step away. But she had to have 365 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 5: been on the Olympic team, right, You would think that 366 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: she would be on that team. 367 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 6: You know, Like I think people pointed to her as 368 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 6: one of the reasons everyone should probably chill on the 369 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 6: Kaitlin conversation because it took her a while to finally 370 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 6: be in consideration because it has been so loaded and 371 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 6: so good, you know, with the ladies and the number 372 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 6: of players they've had, and they won. 373 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 8: So this is a huge wake. 374 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 6: Up call, and not only for Team USA because now 375 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 6: you got to do it self check and make sure 376 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 6: he were we kind of full of ourselves when we 377 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 6: didn't cast and eye towards some of the young talent 378 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: I could be on this team. Are we just going 379 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 6: along with the same people because we want and we 380 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 6: don't like change. Yeah, a lot of conversations will be had. 381 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 6: This is good and it ultimately will make them better 382 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 6: in the Olympics because they won't have their level of 383 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 6: complacency or entitlement that they had. 384 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 5: Well, I hear what you're saying. Look, I still think 385 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 5: that the women are going to win the goal. I 386 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 5: don't think there's a problem right there, but I'm more 387 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 5: word now. But the men, because the men were forty 388 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: three point favorites over South Sudan and it took a 389 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 5: Lebron James put back with about eight seconds to go 390 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 5: in the game to beat them one oh one, one hundred. 391 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: I get it. They want them the rest of the regulars. 392 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 5: And then when I hear Steve Kerr, the coach of 393 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 5: Team USA, said I didn't do a great job preparing 394 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 5: our team. 395 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 2: How stupid is that? 396 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 5: What kind of a statement is that, you know, just 397 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 5: say we caught them on a bad day, say something 398 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: like that, I didn't do a great job. I'm tired 399 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 5: of coaches protecting their players by taking the rap for themselves. 400 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 5: I'm sure Kurt prepared them. These guys didn't play, that's 401 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 5: the problem. I mean, And look this Joe LMB, forget it. 402 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 5: He ain't doing anything. He's not doing anything for the 403 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 5: US team. He shouldn't be playing at all. I mean, 404 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 5: I don't understand what's going on. And I'm tired of coaches, 405 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 5: you know, kind of defending their players. 406 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: What happened to today? 407 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: And maybe you were around when you played, when coaches 408 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: were pointing fingers at players. I think coaches are afraid 409 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 5: right now to get into a face of a player, 410 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 5: especially in the public stage. Then don't want to do it. 411 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 5: I don't know why. I just and players do good. 412 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 5: Away with murder they do. Come on, Kurt, point the finger. 413 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 5: The guys didn't play hard es basically what it's all about. 414 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: I know you want them to rest the regulars. I 415 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 5: get it, but come on, forty three point favorites to 416 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 5: South Sudan and you went by a point. 417 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 2: Come on, really? 418 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 8: Yeah? 419 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 6: I mean, like, look, things happen. That's why you play 420 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 6: the game. I think the other thing everyone has to 421 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 6: understand that fever basketball, international basketball is much different than. 422 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 8: What we see in the NBA. 423 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 6: The NBA has put rules in place to make it 424 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 6: less restrictive for players to move around and do those things, 425 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 6: and foeba, it's not that guys can camp out in 426 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 6: the paint. Their different goaltending rules. It's very physical, a 427 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 6: far more physical game than the NBA, and players are 428 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 6: having to adjust. 429 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 8: As we look. 430 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 6: At these things, though, I think we have to remember 431 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 6: what are they for. What's the context in which we 432 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 6: want these guys to play in these games, well, now, 433 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 6: these games are tune ups for what the Olympics will 434 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 6: look like. And in fact, I would say I want 435 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 6: my team tested. I want them to expose some of 436 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 6: the things that we need to continue to work on. 437 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 6: I want to be able to have the attention, the 438 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 6: full attention of my team as we're moving forward while 439 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 6: still being able to win. So I get Steve hur 440 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 6: taking some of that on him because it is on 441 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: him to prepare the team. It's also on the players, 442 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 6: but yeah, the coach has to find a way to 443 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 6: get the team up and going. And for everyone who 444 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 6: has taken issue with what the women's side of the 445 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 6: Dream Team has done. When it comes to leaving All Stars, 446 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 6: let's talk about Team USA. 447 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 8: On the men's. 448 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 6: Side, they decided not to take Jayden Brown. Jaylen Brown. 449 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 6: They elected to take his teammate Derrick White, who I 450 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 6: would say is not the same caliber. 451 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 8: Player, even though he may be a Blue guy. 452 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 6: There's some other things with the selection process where there's 453 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 6: some guys that are sitting at home that could be 454 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 6: playing with the team. All of that comes into play 455 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 6: when you don't play well. So, yeah, we got to 456 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 6: talk about and you're right about Joel Embiid. Joele Embiid 457 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 6: has been a big nothing burger on the court for 458 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 6: Team USA. Nothing. He hasn't offered anything. And Andy, what 459 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 6: is what is really compelling right about watching these games? 460 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: Right? 461 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 6: Because everyone talks about Lebron and Steph Curry and they're 462 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 6: in the twilight. But whenever you have all of the 463 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 6: best players and you're in a situation where the game 464 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 6: gets tight, who do they give the ball to Lebron 465 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 6: James and Steph Curry. So all the people, all the 466 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 6: Kobe Steins, all the people that talk about him not 467 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 6: being able to compete with the goat, the players are 468 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 6: telling you who they think the best players are. Regardless 469 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 6: of his age, at thirty nine, almost forty, Lebron James 470 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 6: is still viewed by his peers as one of the 471 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 6: best players in the game. 472 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 5: You're the man, you really, He's Bucket Brooks, Get him 473 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 5: on Twitter, get him on Expert if you want to 474 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 5: call it at Bucket Brooks and Andy Furman FSR eight 475 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 5: seven seven ninety nine h Fox. 476 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: That's our phone number. 477 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 5: That translates to eight seven seven nine nine six sixty 478 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 5: three sixty nine.

When your best player is forty years 531 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 10: old and you have to go to him to bail 532 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 10: you out, Steve, they started driving to the basket only 533 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 10: with about five or six minutes to go. You know 534 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 10: how this goes.

It's not ten years ago. Steph 559 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 10: Curry is not to Steph Curry of five or ten 560 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 10: and a forty year old guy bailed us out yesterday. 561 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 10: I mean, this is this is nuts.

But I'll tell you what, Buck, 569 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 5: I think you'll agree with me. They'll still win a goal. 570 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 5: And I think that is very similar to the NBA. 571 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 5: They play lacklust of basketball throughout the season. They turn 572 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 5: it up during the playoffs. They'll turn it up when 573 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 5: when the when the Olympics start, Do you agree, Buck, 574 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 5: they'll turn it up big time. 575 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 6: Like No, I think I think you have to be careful. 576 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 6: I think that is the thinking that we all kind 577 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 6: of get seduced into thinking that you can just hit 578 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 6: a magical switch, and that's not what can happen. 579 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 8: I think we on. 580 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 6: The outside of his fans, we need to respect all 581 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 6: those opponents and and and really have a belief that, look, 582 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 6: we can get beat if we don't play our best. 583 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 6: And then the players and the coaches have to really 584 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 6: also buy into that notion that there's a team out 585 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 6: there that can be the Boogeyman and they need to 586 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 6: be ready for him. They need to play. It's a 587 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 6: different type game.

I think the forty nine ers 663 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: have all the cards. 664 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: I think he'd be out of his mind to hold out, 665 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,959 Speaker 5: and I don't think he will hold out. Last year, 666 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 5: this guy Auk had seventy five receptions over thirteen hundred yards, 667 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 5: seven touchdowns. But as you know, Bucky Brooks forty nine 668 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 5: ers have Christian McCaffrey sixty seven receptions. 669 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 2: A year ago. 670 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 5: Tight end George Kettley at sixty five and Deebo Samuel, 671 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 5: So I don't think they honestly need him to be 672 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 5: competitive your thoughts on that? And I think he's going 673 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 5: to be there when when they go, when the belt rings. 674 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 5: I think he'll be playing for the forty nine. 675 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: Ers this year. 676 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 6: Well, I think he has no choice but to play 677 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 6: for the Niners, just because definant schedule is so prohibitive 678 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 6: against players that elect to hold out, Like it's just 679 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 6: ridiculous in terms of the amount of money that players 680 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 6: have to pay per day by holding out, and then 681 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 6: what happens after a short period, They lose an opportunity 682 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 6: for an accrude year. So you give away additional money 683 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 6: and opportunities by not being there because you lose a 684 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 6: year on your work clock. That's significant as it relates 685 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 6: to the Niners. Yeah, the Niners can win without him, 686 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 6: but I would think people are doing people are making 687 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 6: a great mistake when they sleep on Brandon Nyuk. Brandon 688 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 6: Ayuk is the niners number one receiver. Brandon Ayuk was 689 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 6: their best receiver a season ago. Brandon and a Yuk 690 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 6: had twenty eight catches of twenty yards or more. He 691 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 6: was only behind Tyreek Hill and Cede Lamb. In terms 692 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 6: of big play factor International Football League, he averaged seventeen 693 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 6: point nine catch. You just don't see those kinds of 694 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 6: numbers from a number one receiver. And when it comes 695 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 6: down to looking at the forty nine ers wide receiver corps, 696 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 6: Brandon Ayuk is the proven route runner of them all. 697 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 6: Last year, the teams in the games in which the 698 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 6: Niner struggle people played more man demand because Manda Man 699 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 6: requires you to have guys that are really precise route runners, 700 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 6: because they take away the easy throws and the things 701 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 6: that Kyle Shanahan feasts on would play action, those things. 702 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 8: Innull and void. 703 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 6: When people are willing to play Manda Man, Brandon Ayuk 704 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 6: without questing his head and shoulders above everyone else when 705 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 6: it comes to route running. Yeah, they drafted Ricky Piersol, 706 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 6: but they drafted him as a compliment to Ayuk, not 707 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 6: necessarily as a replacement to Ayuk. So they need to 708 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 6: get it back in the fold. They need to make 709 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 6: sure that he is available and does that. But it's 710 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 6: a good business for the Niners to not pay him 711 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 6: right now because Brod Purdy is eligible for an extension 712 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 6: in the offseason, and once you pay him fifty million dollars. 713 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 6: You have to make hard decisions on who you continue 714 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 6: to keep on their rust. 715 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: Now here's the deal. You played the game, and I'm 716 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: going to run this by you. 717 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 3: Would you do this? 718 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 5: Forty nine ers veterans report on Tuesday to twenty third 719 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 5: of July. If he doesn't show up, he's going to 720 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 5: get fifty thousand dollars fines for every day of his absence. 721 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 5: What moron would do anything like that? Is it worth 722 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 5: it to shit out? I have to pay fifty thousand 723 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 5: dollars a day not to be there? 724 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Come on, you would never do that. 725 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 8: No, I mean I would never. 726 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 6: Even last year you heard Chris Jones talk about they 727 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 6: had to go to the Super Bowl so it can 728 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 6: make up for the two million dollars that he lost 729 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 6: during training campboay fines because the difference now is teams 730 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 6: can no longer wipe away those fines and those things. 731 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 6: A lot of times you would have holdouts in the 732 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 6: past and people were like, yeah, we know, we find 733 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 6: you one hundred and sixty thousand, but just know once 734 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 6: you signed that contract, we'll waive all those fees. The 735 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 6: league has made it where you can't do that anymore. 736 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 6: It changes everything. As much as we want all of 737 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 6: these stars and these guys to kind of like get 738 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 6: the money that they want, it's tilted in the team's favor, 739 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 6: and so teams have to be willing to exercise the 740 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 6: vehicles they have at their disposal when it comes to 741 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 6: player negotiation. 742 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about the forty nine ers one second. 743 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 5: They advanced to the finals of the NFC Championship Game 744 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 5: for the last five years, and they came up short 745 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl. 746 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of a win now for this team. 747 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: They got to do it. 748 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 5: They can win without him, but they honestly would have 749 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 5: a better chance of winning with him. And you mentioned 750 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 5: a great point. They were Brock Purdy. He's under that 751 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 5: first year contract. We's betting payed like seven hundred and 752 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 5: fifty thousand, which is peanuts as far as quarterbacks are concerned. 753 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 5: They're gonna goost that up pretty much. So next year 754 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 5: they got to get it done. This year is a 755 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 5: big year for the forty. 756 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 8: Nine ers, huge year. Gotta get it right, no. 757 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: Doubt about that. All Right. He's Bucky Brooks, I'm Andy Furman. 758 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 2: We got a guy and. 759 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 5: Hold Doug call back to the top of the hour 760 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 5: because we got to ask Bucket coming up right next 761 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 5: right here on Fox Sports Sunday. 762 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 763 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: the nation.

Dak Prescott is 772 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 5: just his last ride in Dallas with the Cowboys. 773 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 2: Let us know, Bucky Brokes. 774 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think this is the last one. 775 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 6: I think it's the last one just because it's gonna 776 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 6: be cost prohibitive for this team to continue to going 777 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 6: with Dak Prescott making sixty million plus the NY move 778 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 6: and they found a new quarterback. 779 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 5: Wow, all right, who will take Aaron Donald's place as 780 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 5: the most dominant NFL defender? 781 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 6: Hmmm, let's go with Miles Gear from Cleveland. He's unblockable. 782 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 6: He has a Freakis game. He has just started to 783 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 6: kind of scratch the surface on what he could be. 784 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 8: I think his game goes to the next level. 785 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 5: Right, Okay, how soon will JJ McCarthy see the field 786 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 5: in Minneapolis? 787 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 6: I think you have to look at the record season 788 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 6: schedule and target week eleven or twelve. 789 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 8: I think it's right after their bye week. Whenever they 790 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 8: have their by week. 791 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 6: The week after it could be the opportunity to switch 792 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 6: the thing up and allow him to take some of 793 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 6: those hits. 794 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: Okay. 795 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 5: Part two of that question is that because Sam Donald's 796 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 5: not getting it done or are they just looking for 797 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 5: the future. 798 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 6: I think some of it is because they're looking towards 799 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 6: the future. Yeah, Kevin O'Connell's vested in Sam Don. If 800 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 6: Sam Donald plays well, it's another feather in his cap. 801 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 6: But I just think this is about JJ McCarthy being 802 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 6: the right guy for this team right now. 803 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 5: All right, let's get back to the forty nine ers 804 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 5: for a second. Right now, two Super Bowl losses in 805 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 5: the last five years. How can the forty nine ers 806 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 5: get over that hump to get it done this year 807 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:36,959 Speaker 5: and win it all? 808 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 8: Go back, repeat it? How can we super Bowl. 809 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 5: Losses in the last five years? But how do the 810 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 5: forty nine ers get over that hump? You even mentioned 811 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 5: that it is a tremendous yearn. 812 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the passing game. It comes down to the 813 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 6: passing game. Can they develop a drop back passing game? 814 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 6: When you look at when this team has been beating 815 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 6: this because teams have been able to bot up the 816 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 6: running game and take away the play action passing game, 817 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 6: which is so dependent upon the run game being established 818 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 6: when they force people, when teams are able to force 819 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 6: the Dogs into a traditional drop back passing game where 820 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 6: playfakes and those things aren't really a factor, it's been 821 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 6: hard for them and so everything falls on Call Shanahan's 822 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 6: shoulders to really create these opportunities, and it's hard to 823 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 6: do that weekend wake out. Sometimes you just want your 824 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 6: guys to be better than the opponent. 825 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 2: Uh huh Okay. 826 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 5: Did the Green Bay Packers really strike gold with their 827 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 5: quarterback Jordan Love or is it too soon to say that? 828 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 6: It appears they struck gold, but more so, it appears 829 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 6: that they have confirmation and validation on their development process 830 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 6: where they sit guys for a couple of years before 831 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 6: they give them the keys to the car that has worked. 832 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 6: They work for them forever. From Aaron Rodins and appears 833 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 6: to work and Jordan Love. They have unlocked what you 834 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 6: need to do to get a young quarterback ready to ply. 835 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 5: All right, moving along right now. You wrote about this 836 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 5: in NFL dot com and at the top of the 837 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 5: hour will continue. 838 00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 2: With some other things that you wrote about this week. 839 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 5: But you wrote about the Packers and their coach Matt Lafeure. 840 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 2: You said he's underrated. Tell us why he is underrated 841 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 2: as a coach. 842 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 6: With Matt lean floor, I think a lot of it 843 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 6: is the first few seasons he won thirteen games. He 844 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 6: won thirteen in games first three seasons, but all the 845 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 6: debt was about Aaron Rodgers back to back MVPs. 846 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 8: Playing at a high level. 847 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 6: Well, when you remove Aaron Rodgers, this team has continued 848 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 6: to get better. They've improved. They look like a different team. 849 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 6: Dad has to go to him. He understands how to 850 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 6: put together team and no matter what we say about stars, 851 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 6: he's willing to play teams without stars wing games. 852 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 5: Okay, we're entering the NFL season beginning a week from Thursday. 853 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 5: We have the Hall of Fame game, and then after 854 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 5: that you will not have a free weekend until February, 855 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 5: no doubt about that, especially on Sunday. And I'm going 856 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 5: to ask you right now one of the maybe two 857 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 5: or three biggest stories in the NFL entering the season 858 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 5: this year, and I'll tell you mine. I think mine 859 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 5: has to be Aaron Rodgers. I think that as the 860 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 5: as Aaron Rodgers goes, so go the New York Jets. 861 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 5: And I think their quarterback, I mean, their coach right 862 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 5: now basically is on shaky grounds. Other than Aaron Rodgers. 863 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 5: What are the big stories in the NFL this year? 864 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 8: Uh? You know. 865 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 6: The big story to me is we talked about a 866 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 6: little bit. What are the Cowboys going to do? Is 867 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 6: this the last year that the Cowboys are together? As 868 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 6: we see it? We think about Ceedee Lamb contract year, 869 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 6: Dak Prescott contract year, Michael Parson is angling for a contract. 870 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 6: How much is is you're willing to extend this window 871 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 6: by paying those guys to keep them in the fall? 872 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 2: All right, I'll ask you this. 873 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 5: And it's very unusual that a coach in the NFL 874 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 5: gets canned during the season. I think that upsets everything 875 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 5: you know to fire them after the season when they 876 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 5: have the so called Black Monday after the season. But 877 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 5: which of the coaches right now as we enter the 878 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 5: season would be considered being on the hot seat? 879 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 6: Robert Solid from the New York Jets, big time. The 880 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 6: expectation of the Jets are going to go to the super. 881 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 8: Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. 882 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 6: They push all the chips in the middle of the table. 883 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 6: So if this team stumbles out the gate or they 884 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 6: hit one of these extended slumps, he gone, He's going 885 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 6: to be up out of there. So he got to 886 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 6: get him. He got to get him playing, Gotta get 887 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 6: him playing well from the jump. If not, somebody else 888 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 6: will have that opportunity to take over to Gang Green. 889 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 5: All right, I'll ask you this, What about his neighbor 890 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 5: in New York, the coach of the New York Football Giants. 891 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 5: Could he be on the hot seat as well? 892 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 3: Yeah? 893 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 8: I think so. 894 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 6: A lot of it is how Daniel Jones looks and 895 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 6: how he looks on the sideline. Does he look like 896 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 6: mature professional? Is he someone that's loud and those things? 897 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 6: The crew everybody's been able to adapt and adjust, But 898 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 6: it really comes down to that part of it. 899 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, you got one more, one more coach on 900 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 2: the hot seat to know. 901 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 8: Well on the other side, right on the other side 902 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 8: of your. 903 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 2: Here we go, all right? 904 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 5: If he goes, where should he go?

One, maybe she felt 933 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 12: that she didn't want to embarrass herself if she didn't win, 934 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 12: it may possibly feel like an embarrassment. Or Two, they 935 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 12: couldn't get she couldn't move the right back to the 936 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 12: half court. 937 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 5: Okay, let me just say this and I'll speak for athletes, 938 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 5: which I am not, and Bucket Brooks will agree with me. 939 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any athlete on God's green Earth 940 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 5: that would refuse to go into a competition, a game, 941 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 5: wherever it may be, for fear of losing. 942 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 2: Am I correct on that? Buck? 943 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 5: I don't think anybody, as long as you suit up 944 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 5: on any sport swimming, track and field, soccer, basketball, football, baseball, 945 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 5: you know, I don't think any athletes says I'm not 946 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 5: going to go into this game or contest or challenge 947 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 5: because I may lose. Am I right about that? 948 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 2: I'm sure? I am? 949 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 4: No? 950 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 6: I mean I think you always like, I mean, you 951 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 6: can acknowledge that that, look, this is a tough one. 952 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 6: It's gonna be a battle, but in your mind you 953 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 6: can never let it go to that point. A lot 954 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 6: of players, like, we'll talk themselves into it, whether it's 955 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 6: false bravado or just trying to create a different reality. Yeah, 956 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 6: they'll they'll talk themselves into I'm the best player here. 957 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 8: Everyone came to see me, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 958 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 6: Even though they know that the task in front of 959 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 6: them is daunting, you still can never like give in 960 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 6: to that. You have to put your face into your 961 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 6: work and your preparation and all the stuff that you've 962 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,439 Speaker 6: done to get ready for the game of the task 963 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 6: that you have at that day. 964 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 2: Okay, and so what was the second thing you had? 965 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 2: Pud B Why she wasn't in? 966 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 12: They couldn't, She couldn't she couldn't get something to agree. 967 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 4: To move the mall rights back far enough. 968 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 6: I mean she does, I mean, she does have limitless range, 969 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 6: but I think in those situations you don't want to 970 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 6: show off. 971 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,919 Speaker 8: You want to make sure you can get it done. 972 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 6: But yeah, it'd be interesting to see when she does 973 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 6: jump in there and participate in three point shooting. 974 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 8: What's your look like? Right? 975 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 5: And look again, she said that she didn't want to 976 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 5: do it because actually on Esco is the one who 977 00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 5: spoke for her the other day at the news conference, 978 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 5: saying that she was tired. Look, I'm sure she's tired, 979 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 5: but one game, a one event is not going to 980 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 5: be her give a great rest. She didn't want to 981 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 5: think to be all about her, and if she was 982 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 5: going to be in that contest, it would be all 983 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 5: about her. I'm not saying she's a shy individual, but 984 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 5: I think she's tired of the spotlight being on her 985 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 5: every single day. And it has been and it will be. 986 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 5: That's just the way it is, and that's why the 987 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 5: league has been thriving because of her. Really, Look, there's 988 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 5: been great players, There's no doubt Asia is great. You know, 989 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 5: Angel has done a great job, but she is the key. 990 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,439 Speaker 5: She's the cog that has taken this lead to another level. 991 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 5: As we move on now comments on that. 992 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 6: Look, she's been a big part of it. I'm not 993 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 6: going to give her the all of the credit like 994 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 6: she's the savior, but yeah, she's brought a lot of 995 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 6: attention and notoriety to the league, like the people who 996 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 6: support her in college that certainly followed. 997 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 8: Her to the WNBA. And that's been good for the 998 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 8: bottom line. 999 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 5: No doubt about. And now we've got to Bucket Brooks, 1000 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 5: who's missed to everything. He really is player, coach, scout 1001 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 5: and NFL dot Com rider, all right, and this week 1002 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 5: and every Friday, he's in there.

And Brandon au basically is the key right now, 1004 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,479 Speaker 5: which we talked ABOUTI a little bit in the last 1005 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 5: hour about you know, he may be wanting to hold out. 1006 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 5: We'll see on the Tuesday when the veterans report the 1007 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 5: camp for the forty nine ers, the wide receiver wants 1008 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 5: more money. And I don't blame him because the salaries 1009 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 5: have gone up in that position. But we agreed that 1010 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 5: the forty nine ers could possibly survive without him, and 1011 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 5: we also agreed that perhaps he shouldn't hold out be 1012 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 5: very foolish because a he'd be fined fifty thousand a 1013 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 5: year and he would not be a free agent the 1014 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 5: following year. 1015 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 2: So where's he gonna go? 1016 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 5: And you wrote about that, where are some of the 1017 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 5: teams that Brandon Ayu may end up, could go, should go? 1018 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 5: And what would the forty nine ers get in return. 1019 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 5: Let's start out with some of the people on the 1020 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 5: list that you have put out there, and you said 1021 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 5: that he might be a possibility for the Washington Commanders. 1022 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 5: Why do you say that? Obviously they got Jaden Daniers 1023 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 5: is the quarterback. Occupianis a receiver. But again, you know 1024 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 5: he wants money. But why would he want to go 1025 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 5: to a team that's not competitive? That I don't understand whatsoever. 1026 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 6: Well, the Washington Commanders have familiarity. They offer him the 1027 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 6: opportunity to jump a situation where he knows the people 1028 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 6: that are really in charge. One Jade Daniels quarterback. They 1029 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 6: played together at Arizona State. There's a natural chemistry and 1030 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 6: connectivity that's there. To Adam Peters, the new general manager 1031 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 6: of the Washington Commanders, was in San Francisco when they 1032 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 6: drafted Ayuk. He knows the ins and outs about him. 1033 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 6: He knows his personality very very well. He knows how 1034 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 6: he can make him comfortable in DC. To me, those 1035 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 6: are the things that you want. You want a quarterback 1036 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 6: who's responsible for getting you the ball to be on 1037 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 6: your side, and you want the person who ultimately is 1038 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 6: writing the big check to also be on your side 1039 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 6: and Washington Brandon Ayuck is both those things in place. 1040 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 5: Okay, so let me run this by you said. Let 1041 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 5: let's say we substitute a Bucky Brooks for Brandon Ayuk. 1042 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 5: You're on the forty nine Ers, you're doing well, you're 1043 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 5: making a good salary, your team is in contention. You've 1044 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 5: gone to the Super Bowl two times in the last 1045 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 5: five years. You want to get more money, so you're 1046 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 5: gonna go to the Washington Commanders. So you'll watching the 1047 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 5: super Bowl on TV. You won't be in it all right. 1048 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 5: What's more important in the mindset of maybe many athletes 1049 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 5: right now, is it the money or is it to 1050 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 5: be a competitor and to be on a winning team. 1051 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 2: To me, I'd rather be on a winning team. 1052 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 5: If you're in Washington and after Thanksgiving when you know 1053 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 5: you're not going to be in the playoffs, that's sort 1054 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 5: of depressing in my mind. 1055 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 2: But maybe it's all about ego. 1056 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 5: Because you know these players that play your position, and 1057 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 5: you may be as good or better than them, and 1058 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 5: they're making more money. 1059 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 2: That may be a chip on your shoulder that probably 1060 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 2: bothers you a little bit. 1061 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, no, it certainly bothers you a little bit. But 1062 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 8: let's make sure we understand this. 1063 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 6: Professional football is professional football because these guys are pros, 1064 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 6: and so it's always about the money, not only for 1065 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,479 Speaker 6: the players, but for the coaches and everyone around the league. 1066 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 8: You're trying to get the best. 1067 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 6: Deal that you can secure your future for yourself and 1068 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 6: also for your family. Now, if things are even, then 1069 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 6: you begin to make legacy decisions. Which team is gonna 1070 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 6: put me closer to winning a Super Bowl? Howard winning 1071 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 6: a Super Bowl impact me? They forever have to call 1072 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 6: me champion. If I have that, it also helps me 1073 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 6: when it comes to my bid for Hall of Fame 1074 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 6: or any other accolades. In those things, yes, I want 1075 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 6: the team to win, but I wanted to win in 1076 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 6: the right way where everyone is pulling the ship in 1077 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 6: the right direction. So if you can find those things, 1078 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 6: it absolutely works. But the money is a big consideration 1079 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 6: in these conversations, and. 1080 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 2: I get it. 1081 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 5: I get the money's a big deal, and honestly, there's 1082 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 5: only a short window where you could make that money. 1083 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 5: And more than that, you know you're always one play 1084 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 5: away from being injured, and maybe a career could be finished. 1085 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 5: So I get that you want to get the money, 1086 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 5: but it's kind of like in our profession. You know, 1087 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,720 Speaker 5: a lot of people do what we do, but everybody 1088 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 5: doesn't make the same amount of money. 1089 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 2: Think about that. 1090 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, what we make is not the 1091 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 5: same as what guys make during the week or doing 1092 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 5: prime time hours, whoever it may be. 1093 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: That's just the nature of the beast. That's just the 1094 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 2: way it is. 1095 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 8: That is the way it goes. 1096 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 6: And it's one of those things that we have to 1097 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 6: be okay with. We got to underspt like, my lane 1098 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 6: is my lane, and whatever was in store for you, Andy, 1099 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 6: like is in store for you. But I can't be 1100 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 6: jealous or envious of what you have going because like 1101 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 6: thing works, things work out the way that they should. 1102 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 6: And so I think a lot of this stuff is 1103 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 6: about people worrying too much about other things as opposed 1104 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 6: to locking in on the bottom line. Kid, the main thing, 1105 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 6: the main thing, your performance, your production, all the other stuff. 1106 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 6: That's what really really matters. 1107 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 5: Okay, So you told about the Washington Commanders. Now let's 1108 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,800 Speaker 5: talk about your guy. Drake made a new quarterback in 1109 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 5: the New England Patriots, which I hope he does well, 1110 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 5: I really do. But he'll need a receiver and there's 1111 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 5: a possibility maybe. And I think if I'm the Patriots 1112 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 5: and the general manager and personnel people, I'm going to 1113 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 5: try to go after this guy. I mean, you got 1114 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 5: to get Drake May a number one guy, and I 1115 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 5: don't know. I think they really have one right now 1116 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 5: New England not. 1117 00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:58,800 Speaker 8: He don't. 1118 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 6: And the reason and why when you have a young player, 1119 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 6: you want a veteran presence on the perimeters because the 1120 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,240 Speaker 6: reliability and dependability. I know that when we call display, 1121 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 6: Brendan Luck is going to be at this spot. I 1122 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 6: know I can tell my quarterback, you gotta let it go. 1123 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 4: Man. 1124 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 6: You got to trust the system, trust and process. Well, 1125 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 6: it's a lot easier to trust when you have veterans 1126 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 6: who played in this sleep. 1127 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 8: When you have young players, you can get. 1128 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,800 Speaker 6: Inconsistent performance because they're still adapting and adjusting to the league. 1129 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 6: So for me, the Newton, the Patriots, they have to 1130 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 6: be at the top of the list in terms of 1131 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 6: trying to get Brandon and you from Sanrancisco. 1132 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell you what, they probably are on the 1133 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 5: top of the list. And you know what that's going 1134 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 5: to cost. The page this big time, maybe a first 1135 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 5: and a second pick and whatever it may be, and 1136 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 5: maybe a first pick the following year. 1137 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,720 Speaker 2: I mean it may be that big. 1138 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 6: I mean it's going to be costly just because of 1139 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 6: the market. You're talking about an All Pro player. Now 1140 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 6: what some arguing come back with. And we've seen some 1141 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 6: of this. Hey, man, I'm not paying big money for 1142 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 6: wide receiver when I can wait for the college to 1143 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,720 Speaker 6: produce a Pooka Nakoula and some other guys right away 1144 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 6: at a. 1145 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 8: Much cheaper rate. 1146 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 6: We're going to see a slowdown, I believe, and some 1147 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 6: of the wide receiver your stuff, like you'll see the. 1148 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,280 Speaker 8: Top of the top of the food. 1149 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,240 Speaker 6: Chain, top of the marketplace. They may that thirty million. 1150 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 6: The man, it's gonna be a huge drop off after that. 1151 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:09,399 Speaker 2: And I think it should be. 1152 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 5: You know, I never understood why the wide receivers all 1153 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 5: of a sudden in the last year or so, these 1154 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 5: salaries of skyrocketed because maybe one general manager decided to 1155 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 5: bay some big bucks. And I think wide receivers, and 1156 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 5: maybe I'm crazy for saying this, I think there're a 1157 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 5: dime a dozen. You get a guy who could catch 1158 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 5: and he's fast, and he's in the draft and you 1159 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 5: get him every year and you get good size. I 1160 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 5: never understood, especially in this day and age, where the 1161 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 5: quarterback eats up so much of that salary structure. 1162 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 2: You really can't afford to pay the other positions. 1163 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 5: We've seen that with the running back position, and there's 1164 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 5: no longer even a fullback fullback so like dinosaurs, so 1165 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 5: you'll see that squashing other positions to save the quarterback 1166 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,240 Speaker 5: and save that money that's needed to pay the quarterback. 1167 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,399 Speaker 6: Yeah, but the quarterback can't exist without everything around him 1168 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 6: functioning at a high level. So if you have the 1169 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 6: greatest quarterbacks, then you have poor receivers. You're not gonna 1170 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,240 Speaker 6: win games because they can't catch what he's delivering. 1171 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 5: The Pageots had a great quarterback on that poor or 1172 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 5: basically no receivers. 1173 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 2: Think about that. 1174 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 5: How many Hall of Famous receivers did Tom Brady have 1175 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 5: throughout his career? 1176 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 6: Really, I mean not many, and they won, But you 1177 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 6: got to remember those first three championships. I would say 1178 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 6: they didn't win because directly of Tom Brady. They won 1179 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 6: because the defense of other parts of the team. Those 1180 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 6: last three did he want in New England? 1181 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, he was a big part of that. 1182 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 6: But they won as a collective, and so there is 1183 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 6: something to that point. However, how many of those quarterbacks 1184 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 6: exist in the league today. How many of those quarterbacks 1185 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 6: can we put on the Tom Brady Patrick Mahomes level 1186 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,439 Speaker 6: where we talk about these guys can take anything and win. 1187 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,240 Speaker 8: They're not many. 1188 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 6: Most of the quarterbacks in place need assistants. They need 1189 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 6: to run a game, they need good play call they 1190 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 6: need playmakers, they need everything to flourish and thrive. 1191 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 8: The elites, the greats, they don't. 1192 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 6: And that's why it's gotten skewed because people have been 1193 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 6: able to look at Tom Brady and even to a 1194 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 6: lesser degree, Pat Mahomes and what they've been able to 1195 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 6: do in terms of winning Super Bowls and say. 1196 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 8: Hey, we don't need that. 1197 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 6: Now, you don't need that if you've got one of 1198 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 6: the greatest of all time at quarterback. But if you don't, 1199 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 6: you better get you some weapons around him so they 1200 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 6: can elevate his game too. 1201 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 2: I hear you, Okay. 1202 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 5: Now, when we talked about why I asked you the question, 1203 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 5: I mean, the big stories this year in the National 1204 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 5: Football League, and we said Aaron Rodgers probably be one 1205 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 5: of the bigger ones because you know, as he goes 1206 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 5: so go to Jets, there's a lot of pressure on 1207 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 5: the Jets and. 1208 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,320 Speaker 2: The coaching staff. 1209 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 5: I think one of the stories we kind of slipped 1210 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 5: on we didn't mention the Russell Wilson justin field situation 1211 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh at quarterback, and we talked about what he 1212 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 5: might need. What that quarterback might need is to receive it. 1213 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,760 Speaker 5: I got George Pickens, but I think they got Brandon 1214 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 5: Ayuk will be a big deal. I think the Pittsburgh 1215 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 5: Steelers should be or could be in the running for 1216 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 5: a Brandon Ayuc. 1217 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1218 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 6: When I think about it, the Pittsburgh Steelers want playmakers 1219 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 6: around George Pickens. They want to compliment what George Pickens is. 1220 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 6: George Pickens is a big play specialist. Well, you now 1221 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 6: put together two guys that can push down to field 1222 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 6: on those vertical routes. 1223 00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 8: You look at the quarterback. 1224 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 6: Russell Wilson's better when he throws the ball down the field. 1225 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 6: They don't want to deconduct if they're going to, I 1226 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 6: guess invest the time and way the odds of what 1227 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 6: a negative could happen when it comes to a pass play. 1228 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 6: They want big bang for their buck. He gives them 1229 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,320 Speaker 6: a big bang playmaker. 1230 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 5: All right now, I got to tell you right now, 1231 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 5: and I apologize I have not I have not goofed 1232 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 5: up on this. I've been following up the mama of 1233 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 5: aman Ron Saint Brown, the receiver of the Detroit Lions. 1234 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 5: She has not gotten back to me. I try to 1235 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 5: give him on Saint Brian. I've been texting her every 1236 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 5: other day, and I means she's gonna probably say I'm 1237 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 5: a stalker. I mean, I'm gonna call her tomorrow. I'm 1238 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,840 Speaker 5: gonna say because they're going to training campstry. So I 1239 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 5: don't think we're gonna get it, but I'm trying. But 1240 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 5: you did mention in your list that the Detroit Lions 1241 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 5: could be looking at are you looking? I don't understand why, 1242 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 5: because they got some receivers here, they really do. Why 1243 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,800 Speaker 5: would they need a Brandon Ayuk. 1244 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 6: Well, what they would do would be a double whammy. One, 1245 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 6: it would add a number one receiver on the perimeter 1246 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 6: to what they already have in place. And two, it 1247 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 6: would knock down their biggest rival, their biggest contentent. Remember, 1248 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 6: the Detroit Lions were up I think seventeen on the Niners. 1249 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 6: In the NFC Championship game, they are as good. I mean, look, 1250 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 6: they are a team that has designs on a Super Bowl. 1251 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 8: Why not go all in? 1252 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 6: Because when you look at their lineup with Brandon and 1253 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 6: you're coming on board with a marm Ra Saint Browns, 1254 00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 6: Jamison Williams, you's thinking about two running backs David Montgomery, 1255 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,720 Speaker 6: Jamior Gibs Sam Laporte over the middle field. 1256 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 8: How do you stop that? How do you defend that? 1257 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 8: You can't? And so that's why you want to think 1258 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 8: about that. 1259 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 6: Like Jered Golf could just pitch and catch and enjoy 1260 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 6: what he has around him. 1261 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 8: That's why it makes sense to me. 1262 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 6: And you rob the Niners of their number one receiver, 1263 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 6: you weaken them. So when you do play in a rematch, 1264 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 6: look the field tips in your favor. 1265 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. 1266 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 5: Last, but not least, you said the New York Football 1267 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 5: Giants may be interested in Brandon and I are. And 1268 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 5: if I'm Brandon, Ayuk, listen to me. Please, if you're listening, Brandon, 1269 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 5: stay away. You don't want to play with Daniel Jones. 1270 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 5: I just don't think that you're gonna put up any 1271 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 5: numbers whatsoever. If you end up in the Giants with 1272 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones. Maybe I'm crazy. I know they got my 1273 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 5: leak neighbors at the receiver. He could probably be a 1274 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,919 Speaker 5: decent pro. But if the Giants get him, I think 1275 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 5: that you're not gonna hear much of Brandon Ayuk. Maybe 1276 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,879 Speaker 5: I'm crazy. Just my take on that. 1277 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 8: He said. 1278 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,479 Speaker 6: He said, if who gets and we won't hear about 1279 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 6: him anymore. We think that if you think he's faded 1280 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 6: to oblivion, he's factor. 1281 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 5: I don't think he'll have the numbers he had in 1282 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 5: San Francisco with Daniel Jones a quarterback. 1283 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 8: No, he won't have the numbers, but he'll have the bread. 1284 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 6: And if he said move like it's just strictly for 1285 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 6: the bag, it's strictly for the money, because they will 1286 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 6: find a way to kind of create some things or whatever. 1287 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,440 Speaker 8: And as great as brandan. 1288 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 6: Aki Yuki is, it depends on the quarterback situation and 1289 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 6: they can't he trust someone to go in the outside 1290 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 6: and feed him. If he does, then it makes sense, 1291 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 6: like from marketing standpoint or whatever. There are a lot 1292 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 6: of things that make sense about it. It's just that 1293 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,840 Speaker 6: is the football good enough? Can you endure the football? 1294 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 6: To deal with all the other stuff that comes along 1295 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 6: with being there. 1296 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,320 Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying, but I think at the 1297 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 5: end of the day he will be playing for the 1298 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 5: San Francisco forty nine ers. He'll suck it up just 1299 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 5: just the way it's gonna be, and they're gonna try 1300 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 5: to go to the Super Bowl.

Now, 1337 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 5: last year, bucket, this team went from worst to first. 1338 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 5: We're talking about the Houston Houston Texans. Can they repeat? 1339 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 5: I took a look at this schedule. Take a look 1340 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 5: at the schedule right now. They're playing five defending division champions. 1341 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 5: They're playing seven playoff teams, eleven games against teams that 1342 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 5: finished last year with winning records. They'll play against Mahomes, 1343 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, Tua Jordan Love, 1344 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 5: Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams. Can they come back? That 1345 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 5: the quarterback was the offensive rookie of the year in CJ. Stroud. 1346 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 5: He threw for over forty on hundred yards, twenty three tds, 1347 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 5: only five ironts. 1348 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:57,400 Speaker 2: But can they do it again? 1349 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 5: That got a little stronger running back, that got Joe 1350 00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 5: Mi Wide receive the Stefan Diggs who joins Tank Dell 1351 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 5: and Nico Collins. 1352 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 2: Can it come back? 1353 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:10,439 Speaker 5: Because obviously CJ says that this offense on his team 1354 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 5: looks like a monster. They made very well, but the 1355 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 5: schedule looks like a monster too. 1356 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1357 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 6: No, it's such an interesting time when you just look 1358 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 6: around and you just look at leaguing and you assess everything. 1359 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 8: Like what I love about like. 1360 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 6: Sports, in all sports is being able to kind of 1361 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 6: look and see the teams on the rise and the 1362 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 6: teams that are dominant teams and being able to hold on. 1363 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 6: And I think this has given us an opportunity to 1364 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,400 Speaker 6: see that. And as we continue to look in assess 1365 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 6: and see which teams are bubbling up, I like it. 1366 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 6: I think it's time for us to be able to kind. 1367 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 8: Of look at that. I appreciate that. 1368 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 6: I appreciate that, I would say the hunters while also 1369 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,919 Speaker 6: appreciating someone to hunt it right. 1370 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 5: And I don't think anybody in their right mind, not 1371 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 5: even you Bucky Brooks, could have predicted what they did 1372 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:54,440 Speaker 5: last year. 1373 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 2: Is that true? Did you see that coming? 1374 01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 8: I did not see it coming. It kind of came 1375 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,440 Speaker 8: out of nowhere. Didn't see it coming. I didn't see 1376 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 8: it coming. I didn't think it would be a team 1377 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 8: like that. 1378 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 6: I mean, you always think, well, maybe there's always a 1379 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 6: team on the rise, but I certainly didn't predict that 1380 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 6: they would make the run that they ring. 1381 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so now we look at CJ. Stroud. 1382 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,840 Speaker 5: You know, obviously defense is going to be ready for 1383 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 5: him right now. They were not ready for him last year. 1384 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Through for forty one hundred yards plus. 1385 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 5: Can he do it again? Will he do it again? 1386 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 5: Will the defenses right now, you know, be ready for him. 1387 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 5: Will it make it a little more difficult? Will he 1388 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 5: basically face the sophomore slump? 1389 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 6: I would say that their better positioned for him to 1390 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 6: repeat it. And one of the reasons why it is 1391 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 6: Stephan Diggs coming over. It's a better team than they 1392 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 6: had last year. You talked about Nico Collins, you can 1393 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 6: talk about tang Dale, but Stefan Diggs is legit and 1394 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 6: even though he won't necessarily be the number one there, 1395 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 6: he'll set the table for everybody else. 1396 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:48,440 Speaker 8: But it's not just him. 1397 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 6: Joe Mixing giving him that punch in the running game 1398 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 6: and the singletary did a great job. 1399 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 8: But he's not but Joe Mixing can be when Joe 1400 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 8: Mixon is right. 1401 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 6: And then on defense, Daniel Hunter coming on board to 1402 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,440 Speaker 6: compliment Will Anderson. It's a really good team. Now they 1403 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 6: have to deal with the weight of expectations and how 1404 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:04,920 Speaker 6: that goes. 1405 01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 8: But man, I mean, their rocks solid, their rocks out. 1406 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 6: They're really, really good football team and theatre Quarterabaal. 1407 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 5: I believe Stefan Diggs makes them a better team. They 1408 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 5: got three tough receivers right now in Dell Collins and Diggs. 1409 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 5: They're going to be really good this year and I 1410 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 5: think they'd be the team to watch. But you know what, 1411 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,919 Speaker 5: let's talk about that. What other teams do you see 1412 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 5: that are on the rise. They're going to turn it around, 1413 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 5: and I think one of those teams, in my mind, 1414 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 5: is going to be the Charges because of Harbaugh. 1415 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 2: I really believe that. 1416 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, Harbor is everything when it comes to like team building, 1417 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 6: and you can just hear how the players are bought in. 1418 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 6: You hear how they talk, you hear how they responded. 1419 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 6: You see so many of them in the offseason program. 1420 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 6: It's because he is a former player that can sell 1421 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 6: the right stuff. He can sell winning. He has a 1422 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 6: resume of winning everywhere he's been and so when he speaks, 1423 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 6: they listen. They are a team that for all the 1424 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,560 Speaker 6: things that we talk about, the talent that they've had, 1425 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 6: because we've always talked about this team in the top five, 1426 01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 6: top ten roster. They have a quarterback that is lights 1427 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 6: out who has the pretendial to be even better than 1428 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 6: he shown. Harbor will bring that out, and it may 1429 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 6: bring it out by doing a less is more type approach, 1430 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 6: more runs, fewer things on his shoulders, better production, more effectiveness, 1431 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 6: and that that could be the way that the Charges 1432 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 6: get back on track. 1433 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 5: Right I think you're going to see a revised and 1434 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 5: a brand new Justin Herbert under the tutelage of Harbor, 1435 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 5: because Herbert came out of college basically, you know, very heralded, 1436 01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 5: and it was like head and shoulders, head to head 1437 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 5: with Joe Burrow, and Borrow, to be quite honest, has 1438 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,760 Speaker 5: passed him by right now. But you're gonna see a 1439 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 5: different Justin. 1440 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 2: Herbert this year. 1441 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 5: I really believe this guy is really going to put 1442 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 5: put it together because of Jim Jim Harbar's coaching. 1443 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think you certainly would put it together. 1444 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 6: And Harvard's coaching is everything. He'll give them the swagger, 1445 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 6: He'll give them the toughness. The toughness is also what 1446 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 6: is needed. You need those guys that can be able 1447 01:03:55,160 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 6: to kind of add that physicality, that that that that 1448 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 6: they grit, they grind that you have to have to 1449 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:04,920 Speaker 6: be able to separate your sales from some of the 1450 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 6: teams in the league. 1451 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 8: He believes in that he's going to do that their 1452 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 8: strength and conditioning program. Being Herbert taking that part. 1453 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 6: Over, there are gains that you can make within the 1454 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,960 Speaker 6: margins by being able to really build a physical team, 1455 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000 Speaker 6: a team that embraces that kind of grind and that 1456 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 6: can ryn me style, but also puts themselves in a 1457 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 6: position to do it by the way they work in 1458 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 6: the off season, weight room, on the field, running and 1459 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 6: conditioning in those things. To me, that is a huge 1460 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 6: advantage in this one that Harbor has always taken advantage 1461 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 6: of him building his teams. 1462 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 2: You know, I know CJ. 1463 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,200 Speaker 5: Straub basically was the offensive Rookie of the Year last year, 1464 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 5: but I had no idea that he was just a 1465 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,800 Speaker 5: fifth rookie to pass for more than four thousand yards. 1466 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 5: He let the NFL in touchdown to interception ratio twenty 1467 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 5: three to five, and he did win that Rookie of 1468 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 5: the Year deal on the offensive side of the football. 1469 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 5: I mean to me that that's an amazing stot for 1470 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 5: a guy to come into the league. I mean it 1471 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 5: certainly it takes years at times for people to develop. 1472 01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 5: We're not going to see Caleb Williams do whate a 1473 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 5: Stroud did. I just think that what CJ. Stroud did 1474 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 5: was very. 1475 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 2: Very unusual. 1476 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 5: It doesn't happen. I mean what we saw there was 1477 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,440 Speaker 5: was quite unusual. I don't think you'll see that with 1478 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams this year. I just don't think you'll see it. 1479 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 6: No, you may not see it from Williams, which you 1480 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 6: could see it from Jade and Daniels just because of 1481 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,479 Speaker 6: the experience factor. One of those guys is gonna pop. 1482 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 6: One of those guys is gonna be a surprise. Maybe 1483 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 6: it's Kavith Williams, maybe it's Jaden Daniels. Uh. 1484 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 8: C J. 1485 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 6: Stroud to me, was beat up unfairly during the draft process. 1486 01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,400 Speaker 6: The conversation between him and Bryce Young should have been closer. Obviously, 1487 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 6: you look at the way they played.

They announced just the end 1576 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,479 Speaker 5: of day, which is like crazy. Why they're doing this. 1577 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 5: They're going to set a bad president. I'm telling you, 1578 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 5: they're going to provide compensation to fans if Lionel Messi 1579 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 5: is unable to feature during the injury that he has 1580 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,600 Speaker 5: when the Miami. 1581 01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,160 Speaker 2: FC visit Soldier Field August thirty. 1582 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 3: First. 1583 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 5: This is terrible. This is a bad president. Think about 1584 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 5: the NBA when Lebron sits. Our team is going to 1585 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 5: pay back the fans. Right now, if Lebron doesn't play. 1586 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 5: It's unbelievable. Why are they doing this. I don't get it. 1587 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 5: Fans who already have tickets to the Fire are going 1588 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 5: to offer the opportunity to claim two complementary tickets to 1589 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 5: the Fires twenty twenty fourth Fan Appreciation Night for October nineteenth. 1590 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 5: They're playing Nashville le f C. 1591 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 2: On that night. 1592 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 5: They're giving money back to giving tickets back. It's not 1593 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,960 Speaker 5: a good thing. It's not a good look. I'm telling you. 1594 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 5: They're going down the wrong path. Other teams are going 1595 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 5: to do it and it's going to get ugly. It's 1596 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 5: a terrible Please don't do this. It's not good for sports. 1597 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:29,880 Speaker 5: If the guy doesn't play. Part of the game. The 1598 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 5: guy doesn't play. Hey, you go to a Broadway show. 1599 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 5: Sometimes the start doesn't play. They got the standings, that's 1600 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 5: what they do. It doesn't happen all the time that 1601 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 5: they're going to see the number one guy. 1602 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it doesn't happen all the time, because if you 1603 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,360 Speaker 6: start giving away money. Man, you just talked about everyone 1604 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 6: asks for a refunm whenever they don't get their way. 1605 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,800 Speaker 6: It's just one of the things that look, man, that's 1606 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 6: a part of the deal. When you take the risks, 1607 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 6: you assume the risk of buying a ticket, you assume 1608 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 6: that the player may not be Doude. 1609 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:56,600 Speaker 2: It's amazing o. 1610 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 5: The tickets for at August thirty first match went into 1611 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 5: my They started eighty nine bucks, which you know, I 1612 01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:04,679 Speaker 5: guess in this day and age, that's not that bad. 1613 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm looking what ticket prices are all over 1614 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 5: the place. You probably have to take out a second mortgage. 1615 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:10,160 Speaker 2: Sometimes they got to. 1616 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 5: Win an NFL game for a family of four. It 1617 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 5: really is, but it looked the MESSI failed to travel 1618 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 5: to Chicago the last time these two teams met. That 1619 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,760 Speaker 5: was at Soldier Field on October fourth, twenty twenty three. 1620 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 5: He had himself on a right leg injury that kicked 1621 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 5: them on the sidelines. They didn't give them money back then, 1622 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,719 Speaker 5: but you know what they had sixty two thousand fans 1623 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 5: they watched as the fire beat of Miami four to one. Now, look, 1624 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 5: I worked in North American Soccer League. I was the 1625 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 5: PR guy for the then for Lord of Dale Strikers, 1626 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 5: and we had some great players. We had George Best, 1627 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 5: and sometimes George Best would go on a on a trip. 1628 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 5: You never know where he was he was gone, he'd 1629 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 5: go a wall. May he rest in peace. But we 1630 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 5: never get the money back when George didn't play and 1631 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 5: George was the star, George was a George name of 1632 01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 5: the Joe Namath back in the day in the North 1633 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 5: of Con Soccer League. We got off the plane, we 1634 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 5: played the San Jose earthquakes through a five thousand women 1635 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 5: at the airport. I promise you're waiting for George Best, 1636 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 5: but really I never saw anything like that. George Best 1637 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 5: was the guy. But when he didn't play, we never 1638 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 5: offered money back as a team, and no one demanded 1639 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 5: their money back or tickets back or a complimentary ticket 1640 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,759 Speaker 5: to another game. It doesn't work that way. It shouldn't 1641 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 5: work that way. Why they thought about this is beyond me, 1642 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 5: and it's not gonna be it's not gonna be good. 1643 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 2: It's going to force other teams to do the same thing. 1644 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure. 1645 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,679 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think other things need to stay a whole 1646 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 6: firm on it, right, Like, hey man, you bought a ticket. 1647 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 6: You assumed the risks. We don't guarantee anything. You bought 1648 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:40,920 Speaker 6: a ticket. This is what it is and that's how 1649 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 6: it should be. Uh, you started rewarding fans and giving 1650 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:45,840 Speaker 6: fans their money back. 1651 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,879 Speaker 8: I just think you just you don't. It's a slippery slope. 1652 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 5: Well, when Miami played the Vancouver white Caps earlier this 1653 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,840 Speaker 5: year and Miami rested Messi, Messi did not even play. 1654 01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 5: He was there, He wasn't nervy. They arrested him, and 1655 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 5: they rested him and Louis Suarez and Sergeia Besquez. They 1656 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:07,400 Speaker 5: rested those guys for the game. The team, the Vancouver Whitecafs, 1657 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,600 Speaker 5: get this. They offered fifty percent off on in stadium 1658 01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 5: food and drinks to the crowd. You can't do that. 1659 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,880 Speaker 5: You just can't do that. I mean, you just have 1660 01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,479 Speaker 5: to suck it up. And that's the way it is. 1661 01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 5: The Fire also offered fans and incentive get this of 1662 01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 5: a two hundred and fifty dollars account credit towards new 1663 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,639 Speaker 5: memberships for twenty twenty four or a fifty dollars credit 1664 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 5: for anyone unable to use the new member credit to 1665 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 5: all single game ticket buyers, regardless of whether Messi was 1666 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 5: able to appear or not. You know, I get it. 1667 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 5: People got the games because the stars are they going 1668 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 5: to do this right now? If in the WNBA, if 1669 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,920 Speaker 5: Caitlin Clark is hurt, or she doesn't play, or she 1670 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 5: look like she didn't play in the three point deal. 1671 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 5: I mean, people who bought tickets for that, are they 1672 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 5: going to get their money back? It shouldn't be that way. 1673 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,719 Speaker 5: That's just the way sports off. People get hurt, people 1674 01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 5: don't play, and you go to the game for the game. 1675 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 5: I understand one individual can make you want to buy 1676 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,800 Speaker 5: a ticket, but if they're not there, suck it up. 1677 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:06,800 Speaker 2: There's just the way it is. 1678 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's what it is. Suck it up. 1679 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 6: There's just the way it is. And you have to 1680 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,720 Speaker 6: be you got to stand firm on that. If not, man, 1681 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 6: you're just always find a way to play. Caate to 1682 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 6: the fans, and yes, the customer is always right to 1683 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 6: a point. And you just have to understand when you 1684 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 6: buy these tickets, it's not a guaranteed that you can 1685 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 6: see your favorite player, because what happens if you do 1686 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 6: show up and MESSI gets hurt the first minute of 1687 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 6: the game, Like, do you want to give them their 1688 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 6: money back then? Because in essence they said and watched 1689 01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 6: the whole game without really seeing him all of that stuff. 1690 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 6: You know, you can't control everything. And so you just 1691 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 6: tell them when you buy a ticket. That's what it is. 1692 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 5: I have never heard of anything like this in my life. 1693 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 5: But looking to go see a Yankee game and Judges 1694 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 5: isn't playing, do you get your money back? I mean, 1695 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,360 Speaker 5: I it doesn't work that way. It shouldn't work that way. 1696 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 5: And you know it's going to transcend over the other 1697 01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 5: sports in the other leagues, and I hope it doesn't. 1698 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 2: I really don't. 1699 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:57,960 Speaker 5: Hey, if I'm driving the Green Bay back in the 1700 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 5: day and Bucket Brooks wasn't playing, I'd want my money back. 1701 01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 5: How's that I want my money back? 1702 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:03,680 Speaker 3: Of them? 1703 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,000 Speaker 2: I went to see Bucky Brooks play.

Looking forward 1881 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 8: to the conversation. 1882 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:51,320 Speaker 2: Here we go. 1883 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 5: Now, I have a question for you because I hear 1884 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 5: these stories all the time and it kind of draws 1885 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 5: me nuts. How important on numbers for NFL players? I 1886 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,760 Speaker 5: know they've changed because back in the day several years ago, 1887 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 5: it was really that certain positions how to wear certain numbers. 1888 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,120 Speaker 5: In the NFL, you know, quarterbacks usually we wore either 1889 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 5: single digits or maybe up to high teams, and that 1890 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,599 Speaker 5: was basically then running backs or whatever may be. Now 1891 01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,920 Speaker 5: it's wide open. You know, why did they change and 1892 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 5: why are number is such a big deal for these players? 1893 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 8: What happened? You ran out of numbers? 1894 01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,759 Speaker 6: Okay, So as you're pointing out, like there were numbers 1895 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,680 Speaker 6: for certain positions that you had to stay within. So 1896 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 6: for white House, it used to be eighties were number, 1897 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:42,480 Speaker 6: and then they started allowing you could wear numbers above ten. 1898 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 6: And so you saw, like with more wide receivers in 1899 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 6: the league, more teams carrying wide receivers, you just ran 1900 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 6: out numbers really quickly, so they had to open it up. 1901 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,240 Speaker 6: The reason why they've changed now is in college is 1902 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 6: wide open. You have big guys wearing zero, you have 1903 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 6: small guys wearing high numbers, and those things. There's a 1904 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 6: part of allowing the players to retain their swag. 1905 01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:04,759 Speaker 8: They open it up. 1906 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 6: And allow people to be able to do anything and everything, 1907 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:10,679 Speaker 6: with the exception of the offensive alignment. Because what happens 1908 01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:12,599 Speaker 6: is if you have an office alignment with a number 1909 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,759 Speaker 6: that doesn't resemble like I think offense alignment have anywhere 1910 01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 6: from fifty to seventy nine, and so if you have 1911 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:26,080 Speaker 6: office alignment out of their number, that would be chaos 1912 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:26,759 Speaker 6: trying to figure. 1913 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 8: Out who's eligible, who's ineligible, and all those things. But yeah, 1914 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 8: they've opened it up. 1915 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 6: They made it more fun because everyone can wear single 1916 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 6: digit numbers, low numbers, all of this stuff. 1917 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:39,200 Speaker 5: Okay, Now the question I have is, if you're a coach, 1918 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:41,559 Speaker 5: let's go back to the college level. 1919 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 2: Off I everybody a little easier. In college? 1920 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,400 Speaker 5: Do they hand out the numbers to players? Ask the 1921 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 5: coach this is the number? I'd like, How does one 1922 01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 5: get a number one or a number zero? I mean, 1923 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 5: there's a good chance I would think that if you're 1924 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 5: a scrub, if you're a backup lineman, you're not going 1925 01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 5: to get number one. There's no doubt, mind you, they're 1926 01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,639 Speaker 5: not going to get But you know someone who wears 1927 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 5: number one, probably a quarterback or a leader of the team. 1928 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 2: And how do you get number zero? How does that? 1929 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 5: Does a coach hand it out? Now they are requested 1930 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 5: by the players, what's the deal? 1931 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:12,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, you had to ask for it. 1932 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 6: Zero just came into play last year the NFL open 1933 01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,639 Speaker 6: it up and allow for teams to utilize zero. 1934 01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 8: I remember Calvin really grabbing zero for the Jacks. Yes, 1935 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 8: it's another number. 1936 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:24,400 Speaker 6: I go all the way back to I think it 1937 01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 6: was Ken Burrow's with the Houston Oilers who used to 1938 01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:27,120 Speaker 6: wear double zero. 1939 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,200 Speaker 8: It looks it's a part of the thing. 1940 01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 6: And everyone knows that single digits signified you being a 1941 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 6: ball at whatever position. So if you elect to wear 1942 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 6: a single digit, it means that man in your mind 1943 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 6: or somebody's mind, they think you were balling. And so 1944 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 6: then you got to go live up to or play 1945 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 6: up to the hype that proceeds you. When when the 1946 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:49,440 Speaker 6: number thing comes. 1947 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna go back on time because I remember 1948 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 5: Jim Otto double Oatto set it for the for the 1949 01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,599 Speaker 5: Raiders at the time, for then Oakland Raiders, he wore 1950 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 5: double Oh, that was a big deal. Who just recently 1951 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,560 Speaker 5: passed away. I think he did Gymato, Yeah, remember. 1952 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 8: Him, Great Raider? Yeah, Great Raider wore double zero. One 1953 01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:06,599 Speaker 8: of many. 1954 01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 6: And you're seeing like players really identify with numbers. I mean, 1955 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 6: you talk about the importance of what we see. People 1956 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 6: pay big money, big money to be able to have 1957 01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 6: their number, because look, it's synonymous. Some people wear their 1958 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 6: number from the time they went literal league all the 1959 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 6: way up. For me, twenty two was my number for 1960 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,200 Speaker 6: the majority of my career little. 1961 01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 2: And that's why Kaylen Clark we was twenty two because 1962 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:29,519 Speaker 2: you woren't. 1963 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 6: Maybe she made deep down the side, found some old 1964 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 6: VHS S tapes and was like, you know what, I 1965 01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 6: like that twenty two. 1966 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:36,720 Speaker 8: I want to wear that. 1967 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:39,000 Speaker 6: I think I think I think I'm a pattern my 1968 01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:41,559 Speaker 6: career after him. I think that's maybe she did say that. 1969 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 6: Maybe that's how it went down. 1970 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 2: Well, we'll have to find that. Well, we'll check into that. 1971 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,680 Speaker 5: But I always thought maybe on way off basie, I 1972 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 5: always feel like in college, you know, the players go 1973 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 5: through the equipment manager and the guy says, what size 1974 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 5: are you? Boom, here's your uniform. You know, they just 1975 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,680 Speaker 5: did they hand it out to you. So it's more 1976 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,120 Speaker 5: complicated than that. In other words, there could be on 1977 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 5: the college level, you were in North Carolina, did someone 1978 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 5: else warnt twenty two when you were there and you 1979 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 5: got to argue for that or how does it work? 1980 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,320 Speaker 6: Well, it was retired because Charlie Tchucchie Justice War twenty two, 1981 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 6: so it wasn't available. So I wore number seven, and 1982 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 6: number seven to me was a significant number because it 1983 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,120 Speaker 6: was a single digit number. It's kind of like the 1984 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 6: perfect number for what I wanted to represent, and so 1985 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 6: I loved it. But you do have to have, like, look, 1986 01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,840 Speaker 6: the best person to have a relationship with in the building. 1987 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 6: You gotta have a great relationship with the equipment manager. 1988 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 6: And that's because, man, if you want to be taken 1989 01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:36,639 Speaker 6: care of, you got to find a way to take 1990 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,759 Speaker 6: care of the equipment managers so you can get those things, 1991 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 6: whether it's your number, whether it's the new shoes, all 1992 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 6: the shiny little stuff. 1993 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 8: It's a big part of it. 1994 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:48,880 Speaker 5: And why I bring up this number of conversation because 1995 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,720 Speaker 5: people are saying, what are you talking about With the 1996 01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:54,040 Speaker 5: MVP of the National Football League right now, Lamar Jackson, 1997 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 5: he's challenging the Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman the 1998 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 5: use of their shared number eight numb because they both 1999 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 5: wore a number eight. He still wears number eight they 2000 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 5: share and they's going to the US Patent and Trademark Office. 2001 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,000 Speaker 5: He's complaining this is according to some record just the 2002 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 5: other day. Now, Jackson he owns or has applied for 2003 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 5: several trademarks using the number in various phrases, and he 2004 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,639 Speaker 5: says that Troy Aikman's attempt to use the number eight 2005 01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 5: on apparel and bags would be and I'm courting him now, 2006 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 5: likely to cause confusion or cause a mistake or to 2007 01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:31,840 Speaker 5: deceive the purchasing public as to whether they're buying products 2008 01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 5: from Jackson or Aikman's company. And this is from Jackson's attorney. 2009 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 5: I get it because you know, right now, when you 2010 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,559 Speaker 5: think of number eight, if you're an NFL fan, you 2011 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,679 Speaker 5: don't think of Troy Aikman he was yesterday's news. 2012 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,759 Speaker 2: You think of Lamar Jackson. Is't that correct? 2013 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 5: But I don't know why Jackson's complaining There should be 2014 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,080 Speaker 5: Troy Aikman doing the complaining, right. 2015 01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,600 Speaker 6: I mean, I guess I think it's all kind of 2016 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,080 Speaker 6: a little bit above my head. I'm trying to figure 2017 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,720 Speaker 6: out why they're arguing over a number that no one 2018 01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:02,280 Speaker 6: in essence owns. But I do see what you, Lamar 2019 01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,880 Speaker 6: Jackson's trying to make some money off of being able 2020 01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,240 Speaker 6: to use number eight with his name in those things. 2021 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 6: I don't know what Troy Aikman necessarily has with the 2022 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 6: number eight, But we'll see what happens when the challenges 2023 01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 6: issued out in court. 2024 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,080 Speaker 5: Okay, Jackson and Aikman, they say, wore the number eight 2025 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,360 Speaker 5: for the entirety of their professional careers. Aikman wore number 2026 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,519 Speaker 5: eight at UCLA, Jackson were the number at Louisville. Aikman 2027 01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 5: played twelve seasons for the Dallas Cowboys as a quarterback. Now, 2028 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,200 Speaker 5: obviously it was a Monday night football analyst. Jackson's applied 2029 01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 5: for trademarks and multiple usage of the number eight, including 2030 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 5: ERA eight by Lamar Jackson Era eight You ate yet, 2031 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,679 Speaker 5: and logo of his styles white dog, Okay, a wild dog. 2032 01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 5: Here's my take, And if I'm with Lamar Jackson said. 2033 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,720 Speaker 2: Look, you know what, switch switch jerseys? 2034 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,519 Speaker 5: Why if you switch jerseys and change your number, you 2035 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 5: open up a who a whole new merchandise sale? 2036 01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 2: You really do? People are crazy? 2037 01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:58,400 Speaker 5: People buy jerseys of players, right, And everybody who's a 2038 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 5: Baltimore raven fan and likes to both the Ravens and 2039 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,519 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson probably has brought or wants to buy a 2040 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson eight jersey. Well, if he's got the merchandise. Now, 2041 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 5: if he goes and says, look, let Troy Jackson, let 2042 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 5: Troit Aikman have the number eight, I'm gonna switch. 2043 01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,679 Speaker 2: I want number nine. I want number nine. 2044 01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 5: Then all of a sudden that creates a whole new 2045 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 5: merchandise sell for him, and now they're going to buy 2046 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,320 Speaker 5: the number nine Jersey. I don't think it's that big 2047 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 5: of a deal. Let him do that. 2048 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:28,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I think you have to the kind of 2049 01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:32,000 Speaker 6: way to pros and cons unless he's running a pony 2050 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,719 Speaker 6: of big money for it. You know, some people feel 2051 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 6: so strongly about the number they pay, you know, significant 2052 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:39,200 Speaker 6: sums of cash. 2053 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:40,200 Speaker 8: To retain that money. 2054 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 6: I would ever, but it's one of those things that 2055 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:47,200 Speaker 6: has always been a part of like locker room culture 2056 01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:51,439 Speaker 6: and lore, that people will pay significant sums of money 2057 01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:53,800 Speaker 6: to retain a number that has been nearing due to 2058 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:54,479 Speaker 6: the heart forever. 2059 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 5: I think it's to me. I think there's much ado 2060 01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 5: about nothing. I just wanted to really get some insight 2061 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,759 Speaker 5: information on players and how they get their numbers, basically 2062 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 5: either a college or approach. 2063 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:06,720 Speaker 2: But I got a heavy duty. 2064 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,240 Speaker 5: Story for you right now, all right, And this is 2065 01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,799 Speaker 5: kind of a strange story about how far a coach 2066 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 5: can go or how far a coach should go. All right, 2067 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:19,200 Speaker 5: I'm talking about Utah State. Utah State University, their athletic 2068 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:21,719 Speaker 5: director and the University of the school, the school president. 2069 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 5: They told their football coach, Blake Anderson, that he was 2070 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 5: fired the other day. Why because the coach wanted to 2071 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:32,960 Speaker 5: personally investigate the circumstances of a player's domestic violence arrest. 2072 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 5: All right, and he was fired. He was fired like 2073 01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 5: on Friday. Anderson, the coach, the former coach, now, he 2074 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:43,519 Speaker 5: contacted the girlfriend and roommate of a Utah State football 2075 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,799 Speaker 5: player in April. This is back in April twenty twenty three, 2076 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 5: after he learned that the player had been arrested due 2077 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:55,360 Speaker 5: to an alleged domestic abuse incident, according to an investigation commissioned. 2078 01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:55,640 Speaker 2: By the university. 2079 01:31:55,720 --> 01:32:00,120 Speaker 5: So basically, what they're saying is that the coach and 2080 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,639 Speaker 5: above and beyond his duty. He tried to basically, I guess, 2081 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 5: save his player star player, doing a fact finding mission 2082 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,479 Speaker 5: to determine if the player should be suspended or if 2083 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 5: they needed to take any further action. And basically he 2084 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 5: should have stayed in his own lane and not do. 2085 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:17,840 Speaker 2: Work like that. 2086 01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 5: I mean, he shouldn't be doing that. I mean, I 2087 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 5: guess a coach obviously want to protect your player. You 2088 01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,559 Speaker 5: want to do some investigation on your play, but that's 2089 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 5: not your job to find out what's going on in 2090 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,439 Speaker 5: an alleged domestic abuse case. All right, and it says 2091 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,040 Speaker 5: here out of Utah State went on the website to 2092 01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 5: find out what's going on here. Utah State policy states 2093 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:42,960 Speaker 5: that all coaches and administrators in the athletic department must 2094 01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 5: submit a report about any incidents of sexual misconduct to 2095 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 5: the school's Title Line office within twenty four hours of 2096 01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 5: learning about them. The university's led it to the coach. 2097 01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:56,759 Speaker 5: Blake Anderson said, domestic violence incidents fall under this category, 2098 01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:58,880 Speaker 5: and that's why he was fired. I'm not so certain 2099 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 5: he should have been fired. I mean, that's pretty heavy, dute. 2100 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 5: He just laid a hatchet down and fired a guy 2101 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,360 Speaker 5: over it. But I understand what he's trying to do. 2102 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:09,200 Speaker 5: He's trying to protect his player and see what exactly happened. 2103 01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:11,000 Speaker 5: Have you ever heard of anything like this at all 2104 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:15,559 Speaker 5: going on in the college campus. It's kind of crazy, really, 2105 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 5: how a coach to just go out of his way 2106 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 5: to do some investigative work on a player who was 2107 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:29,760 Speaker 5: alleged in a domestic violence abuse situation. Kind of nuts, h. 2108 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,559 Speaker 6: I mean here it zapped out for a minute, repeat 2109 01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 6: the last part of what you said, Andy my union 2110 01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:37,599 Speaker 6: a half for a minute. 2111 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:41,040 Speaker 5: Have you ever heard of a coach really getting zapped 2112 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,920 Speaker 5: for doing something like this, trying to defend a star 2113 01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,719 Speaker 5: player who was involved in an alleged domestic abuse incident, 2114 01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:50,840 Speaker 5: and the coach just went and did his own investigation 2115 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:51,519 Speaker 5: on the case. 2116 01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,799 Speaker 8: Yeah, So in reading about that, what appear happened? 2117 01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,320 Speaker 6: Like Blake Anderson made a couple of phone calls after 2118 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,280 Speaker 6: he got wind of the incident, called the roommate and 2119 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,720 Speaker 6: then try to get in contact with a girlfriend just 2120 01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,120 Speaker 6: to see what's going on, because you're trying to make 2121 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 6: a decision whether to suspend a player right away. But 2122 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,960 Speaker 6: by Leak policy, he is supposed to contact the university 2123 01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:15,639 Speaker 6: before he does anything on his own. They also said 2124 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 6: that there were some things in there baked in with 2125 01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:19,880 Speaker 6: the title line. In those things that you have to 2126 01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:23,840 Speaker 6: go with the proper procedure and protocols and those things. 2127 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 6: I'll say this, I understand procedures and those things, but 2128 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:29,360 Speaker 6: I also feel like sometimes a coach is in a 2129 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,600 Speaker 6: bad situation in terms of he's trying to make the 2130 01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,719 Speaker 6: best decision that he can to reflect the core values 2131 01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 6: of what the team represents. And so if you are 2132 01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,680 Speaker 6: a no nonsense guy one that's trying to build a 2133 01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 6: team on character, where you want when one of your 2134 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 6: players is involved in the incident to met out some 2135 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,680 Speaker 6: punishment to let everyone know that you don't condone that 2136 01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,400 Speaker 6: kind of behavior within the program. The issue that you 2137 01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,640 Speaker 6: have is everyone has to work together, So coaches have 2138 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:57,840 Speaker 6: to work but administrators to make sure that they are 2139 01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 6: kind of buttoned up. And it appeared that Anderson went 2140 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,760 Speaker 6: on this part of it solo and didn't contact administration, 2141 01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 6: and ultimately he is going to lose his job because 2142 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 6: of policy and procedures as opposed to what his one 2143 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:12,760 Speaker 6: lost record was. 2144 01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:15,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Anderson told the investigators that he didn't know 2145 01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,519 Speaker 5: he had to report the arrest of the university's Office 2146 01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:22,800 Speaker 5: of Equity because it occurred off campus. You know, I 2147 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:24,800 Speaker 5: guess there's a lot of rules you really need to 2148 01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,160 Speaker 5: learn and read prior to being hired as a coach. 2149 01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:31,680 Speaker 2: But to me, I don't know if you do that 2150 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 2: on your own. 2151 01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:35,160 Speaker 5: I will say this, if they had won a major 2152 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 5: bowl game, he wouldn't have been fired. If he had 2153 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 5: a tremendous winning record, he wouldn't have been fired. And 2154 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:43,800 Speaker 5: they came back and said, well, you know, honestly, the 2155 01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,200 Speaker 5: fact that you had a poor graduation rate as well, 2156 01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,720 Speaker 5: and they said that the Utah States team had one 2157 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:53,120 Speaker 5: of the twelve lowest scores among Division I schools on 2158 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:56,439 Speaker 5: the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate during the past two years. 2159 01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,280 Speaker 5: That didn't help me either. So basically they had this 2160 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,759 Speaker 5: deal and they were waiting in the wings to fire 2161 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:05,040 Speaker 5: him anyway. So this just basically, you know, just let 2162 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,800 Speaker 5: everything fall down and they want them out, you know, 2163 01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:10,439 Speaker 5: and they couldn't find a real good reason. Now they 2164 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:12,639 Speaker 5: got the reason he's gone. You know, as I say, 2165 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:14,759 Speaker 5: if he was winning, he wouldn't have been fired. 2166 01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 6: This is about money, and it was about being able 2167 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 6: to try to fire someone with cause so you can 2168 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,840 Speaker 6: avoid the buyout, right, that's the only reason. That's why 2169 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:31,720 Speaker 6: you bring up all those other things. That's why you 2170 01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:34,639 Speaker 6: kind of factor that in there. But it certainly didn't 2171 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:39,840 Speaker 6: appear to be a thing that was just about, you know, 2172 01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:42,200 Speaker 6: the investigation of what it appeared that there was so 2173 01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 6: much more involved in it besides just the football part, 2174 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:48,280 Speaker 6: the performance for it. 2175 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:51,080 Speaker 5: And this story really did not make a lot of 2176 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,559 Speaker 5: national news. I'm sure it's big news in the state 2177 01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:56,320 Speaker 5: of Utah, but as far as national news, it really 2178 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,800 Speaker 5: didn't make that big of a deal. But you're so right, 2179 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:01,960 Speaker 5: because now he fired with cause, what does that mean 2180 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,480 Speaker 5: they don't have to pay out the remainder of his contract. 2181 01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,240 Speaker 5: If he was not fired with cause, you know, then 2182 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:08,960 Speaker 5: all of a sudden he's leaving. 2183 01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 2: He gets some money, the whole deal. 2184 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,800 Speaker 5: Now he's gonna have a difficult time getting another job 2185 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,600 Speaker 5: as well, unless he's buddy buddy with somebody gets a 2186 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,840 Speaker 5: job as an assistant somewhere. But it is kind of 2187 01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:19,880 Speaker 5: late in the game anyway as far as getting a 2188 01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 5: college football job. 2189 01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:23,960 Speaker 2: So again, I just think that again. 2190 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,599 Speaker 5: If you're in doubt, if you have a question about 2191 01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 5: any story whatsoever, is usually about money, right, I mean, 2192 01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:33,719 Speaker 5: money is usually the root of the evil of every 2193 01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,839 Speaker 5: story out there. Why a guy gets hired, why gets fired, 2194 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,760 Speaker 5: It's all about money. Everything traces back to money. Even 2195 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:43,519 Speaker 5: we told Ayuk earlier today Brandon at to receive it 2196 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:46,160 Speaker 5: for the forty nine ers. It's all about money. It's 2197 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,240 Speaker 5: not about his playing a skill set or anything else. 2198 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:51,240 Speaker 5: Everything is about money. It's all about money. That's basically it. 2199 01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,880 Speaker 2: We move on, all right. He's Bucky Brooks. 2200 01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,639 Speaker 5: I'm Andy Firmer.

Look, I 2256 01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 6: got to talk to you, like as a as a 2257 01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:34,639 Speaker 6: former receiver, what do you think about the way the league. 2258 01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,880 Speaker 8: Has opened up since your playing days? It's all about passing. 2259 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,400 Speaker 8: You're seeing so many receivers go over a thousand yard mark. 2260 01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:42,920 Speaker 8: What is the difference when you look at the game today? 2261 01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,519 Speaker 4: Well, number one, the rules, the rule changes has made it. 2262 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:49,160 Speaker 4: I'm going to say a lot easier, as you know, 2263 01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 4: on the wide receiver, as far as getting off the ball, 2264 01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:55,240 Speaker 4: as far as building this stats that at the end 2265 01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:57,880 Speaker 4: of the year you look where a receiver will have 2266 01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:00,600 Speaker 4: a thousand yards. But I guess I don't want to 2267 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,800 Speaker 4: start to anybody up because I think they do a 2268 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,920 Speaker 4: wonderful job, but I don't think it has the impact 2269 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,320 Speaker 4: of say the eighties, nineties and even early two thousands. 2270 01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 4: They're just not impact plays. And of course they play 2271 01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:16,080 Speaker 4: more games now, so it's just a it's a different game. 2272 01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:19,599 Speaker 4: I think it's a more entertaining game. Don't get me wrong, however, 2273 01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:23,639 Speaker 4: but if you're specifically talking about the wide receiver position, 2274 01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:28,760 Speaker 4: you know, the gloves, the like I said, the rules, 2275 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 4: the ability that the wide receivers can kind of flow 2276 01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 4: free off the ball. Obviously those are going to produce 2277 01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:37,519 Speaker 4: some results where there were going to be a lot 2278 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,320 Speaker 4: more points scored and the fans will really appreciate the 2279 01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:41,200 Speaker 4: game a little bit more. 2280 01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:42,720 Speaker 2: Tim. I'm going to ask you this. 2281 01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,240 Speaker 5: The Bengals just the other day ended their running back 2282 01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:47,719 Speaker 5: fumer running back Corey dillont in a ring of honor. 2283 01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:49,280 Speaker 2: How surprised were with that? 2284 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:52,519 Speaker 5: Decision, and now does this open up a ticket maybe 2285 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 5: for him to can because he's got the numbers, he 2286 01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,559 Speaker 5: really does. I was surprised because he was not one 2287 01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:59,599 Speaker 5: of the more popular Bengals because the way he ended 2288 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,680 Speaker 5: his career in Cincinnati. 2289 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,439 Speaker 4: Well, you know, that ring of honor and all, like 2290 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:09,519 Speaker 4: a lot of other things, it's it's a subjective popularity contest, 2291 01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:11,360 Speaker 4: if you will. And you know, when I see that, 2292 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,040 Speaker 4: you know, you always want to congratulate the person that's 2293 01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,960 Speaker 4: that's being honored, that has received that honor. But then 2294 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,920 Speaker 4: you look at it. You compare James Brooks, who in 2295 01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:24,120 Speaker 4: my very very very strong opinion is the most underappreciated, 2296 01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 4: under undervalued running back and or player in Bengal history, 2297 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 4: and uh, you know, you look at that and you go, okay, 2298 01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 4: what does it take for Brooks to get there? I mean, 2299 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 4: considering obviously he is a he was just a top 2300 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 4: dog in pounds of town, probably the best player I 2301 01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,360 Speaker 4: know played it for the Bengals, but one top five 2302 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,719 Speaker 4: in the NFL. So but you know, cadus to Corey 2303 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:50,479 Speaker 4: well deserved. Like you said, it was surprising because he 2304 01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,439 Speaker 4: wasn't one of the more popular players. And when I 2305 01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:56,720 Speaker 4: say that. Yeah, his performance spoke for itself, but you 2306 01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,479 Speaker 4: know around town, the way his career ended, I don't 2307 01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,840 Speaker 4: think an it on a very high note. And there 2308 01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,799 Speaker 4: was some bitterness on his part in probably the organization 2309 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,200 Speaker 4: as well as the fan base. So it was a 2310 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:08,920 Speaker 4: bit of a surprise. But like I said, more so 2311 01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:13,520 Speaker 4: I was more surprised that James Brooks doesn't get the 2312 01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 4: accolades that he deserves, So that would be more of 2313 01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:18,240 Speaker 4: my focus. 2314 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I think that's a valid point. 2315 01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:23,920 Speaker 6: I think a guy that we will eventually see end 2316 01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:25,880 Speaker 6: up in that ring of honor would be Jamar Chase. 2317 01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 6: But I want to ask you about his running buddy 2318 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,639 Speaker 6: T Higgins. How important is t Higgins to the success 2319 01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:32,519 Speaker 6: of the Bengals offense? 2320 01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:38,560 Speaker 4: Oh? I, as you know, and this is from personal experience, 2321 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 4: and when I played, I played with Eddie Brown and 2322 01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:46,320 Speaker 4: Chris Collinsworth, and it is a humongous difference when you 2323 01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:50,200 Speaker 4: are at the number one position and you don't have 2324 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:53,599 Speaker 4: a number two or one a guy to really take 2325 01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:56,040 Speaker 4: the defense off of you, and they can just double 2326 01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,240 Speaker 4: you and double you and w a bracket you. And 2327 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,760 Speaker 4: when that defensive coordinator goes into the meetings on Tuesday 2328 01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,880 Speaker 4: and they have your picture up there and saying Jamar 2329 01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 4: Chase and they say, well, this is how we're going 2330 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,920 Speaker 4: to stop this guy. They can be very, very successful. 2331 01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 4: When you don't have a T. Higgins, they can be 2332 01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:16,559 Speaker 4: super and we've seen that with the Bengals play over 2333 01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 4: the last couple of years. When Tea is not playing, 2334 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,200 Speaker 4: Jamar's numbers are just not there because they're able to 2335 01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 4: focus on them. So I think t is probably just 2336 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,160 Speaker 4: as important in a different way than than Jamar is. 2337 01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,280 Speaker 4: But they're both are extremely talented young men and you know, 2338 01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,439 Speaker 4: got the great futures ahead of them. But I couldn't 2339 01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:36,960 Speaker 4: say one is more valuable than the other. I think 2340 01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 4: they play different roles. And if you play the game, 2341 01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:42,559 Speaker 4: and you surely truly understand the game, you'll understand what 2342 01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:45,200 Speaker 4: your teammate brings to you. It is not about you. 2343 01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:49,960 Speaker 4: That particular guy may get the accolades, he may get 2344 01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:53,479 Speaker 4: the the numbers, but without another guy that may not 2345 01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:54,160 Speaker 4: be possible. 2346 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,640 Speaker 5: So if you bring an excelling point there to the 2347 01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 5: table about the one to one a guy to take 2348 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,920 Speaker 5: the pressure off the number one. We either I got 2349 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,160 Speaker 5: to ask you this nine years with the Bengals nias 2350 01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:06,040 Speaker 5: NFL three hundred and twenty one pairs is caught. Maybe 2351 01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:07,880 Speaker 5: how many more passes do you have had if Joe 2352 01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:08,920 Speaker 5: Burrow was showing to you. 2353 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:13,280 Speaker 4: Well, I gotta say this first and foremost, I was 2354 01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,760 Speaker 4: really pleased with my quarterback in Boomer siens and I 2355 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,240 Speaker 4: wouldn't trade him. And again, I know how talented Joe is, 2356 01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 4: but you're talking about a totally different era, era where 2357 01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,639 Speaker 4: a quarterback didn't have the ability to sit back there 2358 01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 4: and read a book and take his time going mental 2359 01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:33,479 Speaker 4: vacation because they know they weren't going to get hit 2360 01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:36,679 Speaker 4: because the rules allowed didn't allow the defense. It doesn't 2361 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,320 Speaker 4: allow the defense to really tee on them and hit 2362 01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:42,880 Speaker 4: him low. And you know, sort of the Terry Bradshaw era. 2363 01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:47,160 Speaker 4: But so I take my quarterback if I'm playing back 2364 01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,240 Speaker 4: then when I played, I want my quarterback in Boomer 2365 01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 4: Sienson because he was tough as nails. He was a leader. 2366 01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,560 Speaker 4: I totally understood the game, you know, just pretty much had. 2367 01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,000 Speaker 4: He was a guy. When they say a guy that 2368 01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 4: commanded the room, I mean that's that's what. He didn't 2369 01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,920 Speaker 4: command the room, he commanded the organization. And you know 2370 01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:07,000 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was playing in a totally different era and 2371 01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,440 Speaker 4: he's doing absolutely wonderful. He's bringing a lot of excitement 2372 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,400 Speaker 4: and brought a lot of excitement, uh, for the for 2373 01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:17,640 Speaker 4: the community of Cincinnati and the surrounding area. So I 2374 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,080 Speaker 4: wouldn't trade Boomer for nothing. And I just make sure 2375 01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 4: we're on the same page because not only that I 2376 01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:23,960 Speaker 4: had Boom, I had riding home and I had Eddie 2377 01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,120 Speaker 4: Brown here, Chris Collinsworth if it was James Brook. So 2378 01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:30,600 Speaker 4: you know, obviously that's not possible in this day and 2379 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:33,519 Speaker 4: air with the salad cap. There's no way the Bengals 2380 01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,120 Speaker 4: or any team can afford that type of roster with 2381 01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:37,000 Speaker 4: that type of talent. 2382 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:40,320 Speaker 5: Hey, Toom, could you said, we've got sports update to do. 2383 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:43,120 Speaker 5: Could you hang with us a little bit?

They played South Suit Dan. It was 2391 01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:03,840 Speaker 11: a struggle in the first half. They trailed by sixteen 2392 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,120 Speaker 11: points at one part of that first half, and it 2393 01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:11,000 Speaker 11: took a last moment layup by Lebron James to put 2394 01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,200 Speaker 11: the United States ahead at the buzzer one oh one, 2395 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,639 Speaker 11: one hundred, part of James's twenty five points. But uh 2396 01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 11: too close for comfort there for the Americans, as they've 2397 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,759 Speaker 11: got one more exhibition game before they head out to Paris. 2398 01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:26,000 Speaker 11: It'll be Monday against Germany that can be seen over 2399 01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:30,240 Speaker 11: on Fox. As for the US women's Olympic basketball team, 2400 01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:34,439 Speaker 11: they lost to the WNBA All Stars one seventeen to 2401 01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:40,160 Speaker 11: one oh nine as a al Rique ogum Bowally scored 2402 01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:43,280 Speaker 11: thirty four points, twenty one of them in the twenty 2403 01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:45,120 Speaker 11: one of them in the third quarter, all of her 2404 01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:48,000 Speaker 11: points coming in the second half. Angel reached twelve points 2405 01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:54,599 Speaker 11: eleven rebounds. Caitlyn Clark had ten assists the Cavaliers, giving 2406 01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:58,280 Speaker 11: Evan Mobley a MAX extension for five years worth at 2407 01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:02,280 Speaker 11: least two hundred and twenty four million dollars. And in 2408 01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:05,759 Speaker 11: Major League Baseball, the Dodds for the second straight game 2409 01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,320 Speaker 11: come from behind me beat the Red Sox. This time 2410 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,559 Speaker 11: they did it in eleven innings. Key k Hernandez with 2411 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,400 Speaker 11: the tying home run in the ninth inning of Will 2412 01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:16,720 Speaker 11: Smith with the walk off RBI in the eleventh to 2413 01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,280 Speaker 11: win it seven to six. The Brewers also won it 2414 01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,200 Speaker 11: in extra innings on Saturday, they beat the Minnesota Twins 2415 01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:26,719 Speaker 11: eight to four. The Astros are now in first place 2416 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:29,040 Speaker 11: all by themselves. They are a game up on the 2417 01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:32,040 Speaker 11: Mariners after they beat Seattle four too. So the Mariners 2418 01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,879 Speaker 11: right now in free fall. They have lost five games 2419 01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,280 Speaker 11: in a row, but the Pirates playing well. They've made 2420 01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:40,360 Speaker 11: it six straight wins after beating the Phillies four to one. 2421 01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:43,880 Speaker 11: The Tigers have made it four straight wins in a 2422 01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 11: seven to three victory against the Blue Jays. Out east, 2423 01:48:47,520 --> 01:48:50,479 Speaker 11: it is the Orioles ahead by two games after Baltimore 2424 01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:53,680 Speaker 11: wins eight four of Texas, while the Yankees losing nine 2425 01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:55,559 Speaker 11: to one to the Tampa Bay Rays. 2426 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:57,400 Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, thanks. 2427 01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,679 Speaker 5: keV, all right, we got Tim McGee here, So Bucky 2428 01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:01,160 Speaker 5: Brook fuck you your turn. 2429 01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:02,920 Speaker 2: Give Tim holla right there? 2430 01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:05,920 Speaker 8: Okay, So Tim, your your buddy. 2431 01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,200 Speaker 6: Andy was on earlier and saying that wide receivers are 2432 01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,080 Speaker 6: a diamond dozen that quarterbacks can basically make and elevate 2433 01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,160 Speaker 6: and create any wide receiver, can you please give them 2434 01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 6: a little insight on how it's actually reversed, how wide 2435 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,000 Speaker 6: receivers can make the job so much easier for quarterbacks, 2436 01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:22,479 Speaker 6: and why they are necessary evil. 2437 01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what to answer that question. In short, 2438 01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:28,400 Speaker 4: it's called rack runs after the cats. So you know, 2439 01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 4: the quarterback gets the really simple. The quarterback gets the 2440 01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:37,560 Speaker 4: credit for adr catch or touchdow or reception. However, the 2441 01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,040 Speaker 4: wide receiver could have caught that ball, casing point Jamar 2442 01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:44,160 Speaker 4: Chase T. Higgins, you know, justin Jefferson, so on and 2443 01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,960 Speaker 4: so forth. These guys Tyreek Kale, once they touched the ball, 2444 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:51,120 Speaker 4: the action has just started. They have the ability. Like 2445 01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:53,920 Speaker 4: I said, I am huge on impact play, huge on 2446 01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:57,120 Speaker 4: impact play. I don't look at stats so much. The 2447 01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:01,719 Speaker 4: only stat I really think is important average yard for catch, 2448 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:05,360 Speaker 4: and quarterback gets the credit. But quarterbacks are not going 2449 01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,960 Speaker 4: back to the going back and throwing eighty yard passes. 2450 01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,519 Speaker 4: What they're doing, they're throwing ten to fifteen twenty yard 2451 01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 4: passes and receivers are taking them to the house. And 2452 01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:18,040 Speaker 4: that's why the receivers probably deserved more credit than the quarterback. 2453 01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 4: But we know it's a quarterback league, and we know 2454 01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,000 Speaker 4: they're going to give the quarterback the most valuable player. 2455 01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:27,840 Speaker 4: Unless the receiver has twenty four catches for six hundred 2456 01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:31,640 Speaker 4: and eighty nine yards and twelve touchdowns. We know the 2457 01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:36,000 Speaker 4: focus has to be on the pretty boy quarterback, the 2458 01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 4: model Joe Burrow, the Patrick Mahomes. But without the Tyreek 2459 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:44,200 Speaker 4: Hills and the Jamar Chases, they'll just be a normal 2460 01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:48,800 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones type of quarterback. So wide receivers are the 2461 01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,639 Speaker 4: number one position in the National Football League. And I'll 2462 01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:55,400 Speaker 4: debate that with anyone at any time, including you, fur Ball, 2463 01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 4: including you for Ball. 2464 01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,240 Speaker 5: Sal Lev the tim so a little bit of it, 2465 01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 5: and let's talk about what I receive his first second, 2466 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:03,519 Speaker 5: let's tell about Brandon Ayuk from the San Francisco forty 2467 01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 5: nine ers. I say that forty nine ers can win 2468 01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:07,559 Speaker 5: without him. You know, they don't really need him. He's 2469 01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:10,800 Speaker 5: threatening to sit out. The Veterans go to camp on 2470 01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:13,120 Speaker 5: Tuesday for the forty nine ers, and if he sits out, 2471 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:15,840 Speaker 5: it's fifty grand a day. 2472 01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,040 Speaker 2: They can unload him. 2473 01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:19,000 Speaker 5: I think we'll play for the forty nine ers, But 2474 01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:21,200 Speaker 5: I do believe that if he does go and they 2475 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,080 Speaker 5: trade him, they could win without him. 2476 01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:26,519 Speaker 4: I think so too, because the creativity that they have 2477 01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:30,120 Speaker 4: in their coach in Shanahan, they have the ability with 2478 01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:32,719 Speaker 4: so many weapons, and they kind of remind me, quite honestly. 2479 01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,280 Speaker 4: They remind me of our team back in the day. 2480 01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:37,600 Speaker 4: And I know most people wouldn't remember that the splitting, 2481 01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:41,040 Speaker 4: but we had so many weapons and for the forty 2482 01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:44,479 Speaker 4: nine ers have so many weapons. Well, they love him back, 2483 01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,800 Speaker 4: oh absolutely. However, I think, like you said, I think 2484 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:53,240 Speaker 4: they can adjust very easily. But you know, it's one 2485 01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,439 Speaker 4: of those situations where I understand the kid's position. He 2486 01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:58,240 Speaker 4: wants to get paid. He wants to get paid now 2487 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:01,360 Speaker 4: because as Buck you know, we that window of opportunity 2488 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,280 Speaker 4: is very small. And in the National Football League today, 2489 01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,479 Speaker 4: hey man, you make your money and move on with 2490 01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,600 Speaker 4: life where and then you don't have to have the 2491 01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:12,880 Speaker 4: tense surgeries that I had, including the knee replacement eight 2492 01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:14,680 Speaker 4: weeks ago. So that's just the way it is. 2493 01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:19,000 Speaker 6: Oh wow, well, hopefully you're covering well from that knee replacement. 2494 01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,000 Speaker 6: I want to ask you, though, because there's been so 2495 01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:22,920 Speaker 6: many young players that have kind of jumped in the 2496 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:26,840 Speaker 6: league and had immediate success, so much different from yesteryear. 2497 01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,000 Speaker 6: When you see a guy like Puka nikoua a fifth 2498 01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:31,559 Speaker 6: round pick that can come in and dominate right away, 2499 01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,760 Speaker 6: what do you think is behind so many of these 2500 01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:37,200 Speaker 6: young guys success the system? 2501 01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:41,160 Speaker 4: The system and were before when we came into the league. 2502 01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,880 Speaker 4: And again I'm comparing, but I'm not saying one better 2503 01:52:43,960 --> 01:52:46,639 Speaker 4: than the other. I'm saying to answer your question, I'm 2504 01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:50,719 Speaker 4: clarifying that these guys have a huge advantage because the system. 2505 01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:53,280 Speaker 4: Some of them run the same system in college and 2506 01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:55,600 Speaker 4: they don't have to wait that turn, you know, for 2507 01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:57,720 Speaker 4: to speaker, like when you came into the league and 2508 01:52:57,760 --> 01:52:59,320 Speaker 4: I came into the league, there was a start in 2509 01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:01,960 Speaker 4: front of you to earn your time on special teams, 2510 01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,760 Speaker 4: and then you've got to play a little bit in 2511 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,519 Speaker 4: the situational football and then hey, if you are lucky, 2512 01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:10,000 Speaker 4: you built yourself up to a starter and then a star. Nowadays, 2513 01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:12,840 Speaker 4: with the system, you know Sean McVay system, it's a 2514 01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:15,559 Speaker 4: plug and plut and you know, if you have the 2515 01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:18,160 Speaker 4: extreme talent, they like that Jamar Chase and the t 2516 01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:21,080 Speaker 4: Higgins and you know, the dustin differences in the Tyreek 2517 01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:24,040 Speaker 4: Hills of the world, and there's many of them if 2518 01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,519 Speaker 4: you don't have that, you still can be successful in 2519 01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:28,439 Speaker 4: the National Football leaguecause the ruge allows. 2520 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:31,920 Speaker 5: This is my last question for you, because I know 2521 01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:33,920 Speaker 5: you want to go back and do your rehab on 2522 01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:36,559 Speaker 5: your knee. So I'm not going to bug anymore. I'm 2523 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:37,960 Speaker 5: gonna run and talk about injuries. 2524 01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 2525 01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,479 Speaker 5: With the addition of flag football now with the NFL, 2526 01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:44,720 Speaker 5: and now it's an Olympic sport as well. Do you 2527 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,960 Speaker 5: see maybe someday the NFL replacing the tackle football game? 2528 01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,759 Speaker 5: And now it sounds crazy with flag football? Could that happen? 2529 01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:57,479 Speaker 4: No, the fans are embedded in tackle football. It's a 2530 01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:01,400 Speaker 4: biden sport for the players, but it's a very entertaining 2531 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:05,479 Speaker 4: sport for the players and the television networks, and that's 2532 01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:09,559 Speaker 4: what drives again. People love to see that big hit, 2533 01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:11,400 Speaker 4: they love to see that tackle, they love to see 2534 01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:13,720 Speaker 4: that broken tackle. They love to see the running back 2535 01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:15,880 Speaker 4: run over guys or and so forth. So that's the 2536 01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,200 Speaker 4: element that you cannot delete from the game. It's the 2537 01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:22,120 Speaker 4: physicality of the game has to exist in order for 2538 01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,080 Speaker 4: it to be successful, and that's why it's one of 2539 01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:26,840 Speaker 4: the most successful sports in the world, not just in 2540 01:54:26,840 --> 01:54:28,200 Speaker 4: the United States of America. 2541 01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:30,719 Speaker 2: Now let me let bucket go one more time. 2542 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:35,440 Speaker 6: No so, and thinking about that, give me a laun 2543 01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:38,440 Speaker 6: shot or off the wall prediction from a former player. 2544 01:54:38,480 --> 01:54:40,760 Speaker 8: What do you see happening in twenty twenty four?

Corporate greed. 2626 01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:17,360 Speaker 13: How can the city of Saint Pete approve a one 2627 01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:20,360 Speaker 13: point three billion dollars stadium for the rais? 2628 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:21,240 Speaker 7: Who do you blame? 2629 01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:23,920 Speaker 5: Okay, I'll take this one because I have believe there's 2630 01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:29,600 Speaker 5: some underhanded political shenanigans going on, because somebody both of 2631 01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:33,520 Speaker 5: somebody in politics to have a bad baseball team that 2632 01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:36,720 Speaker 5: no one goes to in the city of Tampa slash 2633 01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:40,000 Speaker 5: Saint Pete. To approve a one point three billion with 2634 01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:42,920 Speaker 5: a b billion dollars stadium that no one's gonna go to, 2635 01:58:43,120 --> 01:58:45,760 Speaker 5: it's a joke. It's ridiculous, and that team should move. 2636 01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:48,480 Speaker 5: They're looking for a team in Montreal. They're looking for 2637 01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:50,920 Speaker 5: a team in Nashville. There's your team right there. The 2638 01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,120 Speaker 5: Rays get him out of there, and they get a 2639 01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:55,160 Speaker 5: brand new stadium. It's unbelievable. 2640 01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:58,000 Speaker 2: It really is. Someone's on the take, and it's not good. 2641 01:58:59,040 --> 01:58:59,200 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2642 01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:00,800 Speaker 6: I don't know if someone's to take, but look, they 2643 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:03,120 Speaker 6: had a deal in place years ago to maybe split 2644 01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:05,560 Speaker 6: their time between Montreal and the Tampa area. 2645 01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:07,960 Speaker 8: For whatever reason, that deal filled through. 2646 01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:09,240 Speaker 6: I thought it was gonna be cool to kind of 2647 01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:12,680 Speaker 6: see a version of the Expos come back. But in Tampa, man, 2648 01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:15,080 Speaker 6: the Rays have been too good for too long to 2649 01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:16,760 Speaker 6: allow this team just to walk out. 2650 01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:18,480 Speaker 8: You got to figure out a way to pony up. 2651 01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:20,760 Speaker 6: Now we'll see if it's monopoly money or real money, 2652 01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:22,760 Speaker 6: but kudos to them for trying to find a way 2653 01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:23,560 Speaker 6: to keep the devil. 2654 01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:24,120 Speaker 8: Raised in time. 2655 01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:30,400 Speaker 13: Okay, now we're gonna head over to Alabama. The university 2656 01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:33,760 Speaker 13: plans to honor coach Nick Saban by naming its football 2657 01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:36,640 Speaker 13: playing field for him at Bryant Denny Stadium. 2658 01:59:37,760 --> 01:59:38,560 Speaker 7: Who do you blame? 2659 01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:42,320 Speaker 13: Like, should they keep it the Bear Bryant Field in stadium? 2660 01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:43,400 Speaker 10: No? 2661 01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:44,720 Speaker 8: No, no, no, you get it, get it, you got it. 2662 01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:44,880 Speaker 4: Now. 2663 01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:47,160 Speaker 6: You got to reward Nick Saban for the legend that 2664 01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:52,680 Speaker 6: he is there. Look, look, Bear Bryant is the legend. 2665 01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:55,600 Speaker 6: But Nick Saban has surpassed Bear Bryant in terms of 2666 01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:58,200 Speaker 6: his relationship, his success at Alabama. 2667 01:59:58,320 --> 01:59:59,800 Speaker 8: He deserves to have something they after him. 2668 02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:02,360 Speaker 6: Better way to do it than to recognize him by 2669 02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:04,640 Speaker 6: naming the field after You know. 2670 02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,320 Speaker 5: I enjoy the naming of the fields because it keeps 2671 02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,760 Speaker 5: history and perspective. It really does. And both these coaches 2672 02:00:09,760 --> 02:00:12,600 Speaker 5: with tremendous they've done a lot. That's number one. Number two, 2673 02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:15,080 Speaker 5: it's great that they're doing it and they're not having 2674 02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:17,760 Speaker 5: a corporation put their check out there and say name 2675 02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:20,520 Speaker 5: it after my company, So that's even better. But number three, 2676 02:00:20,680 --> 02:00:23,600 Speaker 5: here's my take on this, And maybe it's warped, maybe 2677 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,440 Speaker 5: it's crazy, but I don't think they should name any 2678 02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:30,040 Speaker 5: stadium any facility until that person is dead. 2679 02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:32,800 Speaker 2: Really, I know it sounds morbid. I'll tell you why. 2680 02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:36,320 Speaker 5: I say that they named the street in Cincinnati called 2681 02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:39,320 Speaker 5: Pete rose Way, and after they named it after Pete 2682 02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,480 Speaker 5: rose Way, that's when Pete got into all the trouble 2683 02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:44,440 Speaker 5: with the alleged gambling and the things like that. So 2684 02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:47,400 Speaker 5: I think that wait till a guy passes and then 2685 02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:51,280 Speaker 5: you can remember him forever and ever and ever. But look, 2686 02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:54,160 Speaker 5: what if Nick Saban gets a DUI next week. I 2687 02:00:54,200 --> 02:00:56,720 Speaker 5: mean it's possible, and I know he's a great coach 2688 02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:59,000 Speaker 5: and it probably won't happen. But I just believe that 2689 02:00:59,040 --> 02:01:02,160 Speaker 5: you should name after the guy is gone. Maybe I'm wrong, 2690 02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:03,440 Speaker 5: but that's my take on it. 2691 02:01:04,200 --> 02:01:06,080 Speaker 8: No, No, I want my flowers on. I'm alive, Like 2692 02:01:06,120 --> 02:01:07,360 Speaker 8: you don't get a chance to enjoy. 2693 02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:10,040 Speaker 6: What's the whole point of naming the thing after a 2694 02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:11,520 Speaker 6: person who's no longer there? 2695 02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:13,720 Speaker 8: He chance to? Really? 2696 02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:16,760 Speaker 6: You bad, bad things can always happen, but you can't 2697 02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:17,600 Speaker 6: live your life in field. 2698 02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:17,920 Speaker 3: You got to. 2699 02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:19,720 Speaker 8: You gotta reward people for doing that. 2700 02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:22,800 Speaker 6: So Nick Saban needs to have his his field named 2701 02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:23,240 Speaker 6: after him. 2702 02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:25,960 Speaker 8: Other people need to have things named after them, give. 2703 02:01:25,880 --> 02:01:26,480 Speaker 3: Them their flowers. 2704 02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:30,680 Speaker 2: He told me into it. You taught me into it? 2705 02:01:30,920 --> 02:01:33,760 Speaker 13: What Coach K has the whole floor named after him? 2706 02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:35,000 Speaker 13: What if he got a g u I what are 2707 02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:35,480 Speaker 13: they gonna do? 2708 02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:36,640 Speaker 2: He's funny. 2709 02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:39,240 Speaker 5: Come on, he went to the military academy taking it 2710 02:01:39,320 --> 02:01:42,360 Speaker 5: up the coach kid. That's that's a different animal. Really, 2711 02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:45,280 Speaker 5: he went on. He played for Bob Knight. Nothing's gonna 2712 02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:46,760 Speaker 5: happen to coach k blame. 2713 02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:52,160 Speaker 13: Okay, CBS has reached an exclusive, multi year, multi platform 2714 02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:54,200 Speaker 13: rights deal with the English Football League. 2715 02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:56,520 Speaker 7: Do you even care?
