18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: we got more football on the way, more stuff from

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament on the way, the return of Rebok.

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: Hey guess what about that? But a couple of big

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: stories out of the NBA today regarding how the Players

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Association feels about a couple of things which I'm like, oh,

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know now. First of all,

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they rebuked the Milwaukee Bucks

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the NBA Players Association over their dispute with Jannis, right

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: because Jannis wants to play, and the Milwaukee Bucks saying no,

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: we're shutting him down. The Player Association saying that, hey,

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: this is tanking. You're damaging the NBA's integrity by wanting

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: to shut down Jannis for the rest of the season.

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, look at the players. Wow, look a

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: look at Look at players jumping up and down on

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: this on Yannis and the tanking. So you go, Players Association.

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I kind of dig that about you, because, yeah, this

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: is a big problem. Here's a big problem the NBA has,

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: and the NBA fights this optic of tanking and teams

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: that don't want to play and their stars that want

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: to sit. And most stars will say, hey, I'm fine

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: with not playing if we're not playing for anything, I'm tired.

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm okay with not playing if we want a tank

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: for a pick next year, I'm good. Man. I'm in

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the middle of a sixth year, two hundred and thirty

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. No, I'm good. Here's Yannis saying I

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: want to play. Here's one of the biggest stars in

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: the game saying I want to play, and this is

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna solve some problems. And the Milwaukee Bucks are saying, yeah, no, no,

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: we're good, Yeah, we're good. Yeah, we don't need you

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: to play, like this is a really bad optic, so

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: go NBAPA.

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: Well, and they're gonna argue about it a little bit

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: about everything, and this is where they can they can

51
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: look like they're doing the right thing while the other

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: fight kind.

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: Of counteracts what they're doing.

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: Right, Let's see, he wants to play, they don't want him,

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: so tanking sucks. And that leads to the other big

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: statement that they made today.

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: Now this is the big one. And I see this.

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: I saw this, and I go, oh, don't do it,

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: don't do it, don't do it. This is not gonna

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: go how you think.

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: See, I thought they should have waited a day between

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: them at least. Yeah, yeah, get the love. And he

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: was like, look what we're doing. We're fighting back against

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: the teams.

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because this is going from we want players to

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: play to players don't have to play. Uh, this is

67
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: all having to do with Caid Cunningham and his MVP

68
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: eligibility and his spot on the All NBA team. Now,

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: as you know, a couple of years ago, the NBA

70
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: put in a rule to say, if you're gonna make

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: any of these postseason teams or be eligible for MVP

72
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: or big awards, you have to play at least sixty

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: five games. And this is knocking people out of MVP consideration,

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: all NBA consideration. We're down to the fact that maybe

75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Josh Hart is gonna be the NBA MVP this year,

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: but citing Kid Cunningham's eligibility. Right, Kid Cunningham, who has

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: led the Pistons to the best record in the Eastern Conference,

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: they're continuing to without him, which, again, doesn't you know,

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: bode well for Hey, Kate Cunningham's MVP. But Kate Cunningham

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: missing an extended period of time because of a collapsed lung.

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: The NBA Player Association says, Hey, this sixty five game

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: rule for such awards, we don't like it. We want

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: to see the rule amended. Here's the quote through a spokesperson.

84
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham's potential ineligibility for postseason awards after a career

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: defining season is a clear indictment of the sixty five

86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: game rule and yet another example of why it must

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: be abolished or reformed to create an exception for significant injuries. Okay,

88
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: let's just stop here for one second. I wanted the

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: NBA PA to take a breath before you put out

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a statement that's this stupid? Okay, because this is just stupid.

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: First of all, it's embarrassing that you want to trot

92
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: out there that a guy can play sixty games or

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: less and be the MVP right a quarter to the schedule.

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Now that guy could be MVBL he has to play

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: sixty games like we have. We have gone and blurred

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: the line so much for what is what we need

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: in an NBA season, what players need to play. We're

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: now down to the NBAPA saying, yeah, hey, sixty get

99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: whatever it is, doesn't need to be a minimum. Guy

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: can play forty games. Yeah, and I get it. Kate

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Cunningham has shown that he's a great player. And what

102
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: he did this year, the Pistons are going to win

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. They got out to a big lead. Yeah, no,

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I understand that. But to sit back and say, yeah,

105
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: a guy can only play sixty games and be MVP

106
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: number one. It's embarrassing number two. And this is what's

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: worse about it is that this is how irrelevant we

108
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: think the schedule is. That one quarter of the schedule

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: is completely irrelevant, right, that sixty five out of eighty

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: two game No, no, no can be less than that,

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: and he can be the MVP. Now. Look, it's obvious

112
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: that the NBA season is way too long. We are

113
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: seeing evidence upon evidence that teams don't care about it,

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: the tanking that's going on, the players not playing. Look,

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: I've told you the last twenty twenty five games of

116
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the season are irrelevant. You don't see any movement in

117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: the standings. Teams are tanking even more now than they

118
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: were the beginning of the season. It's just punching a

119
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: time card to get to the end of the year.

120
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: You don't need these games. However, Hey, less games, okay.

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Owners would say, we'd be okay with less games. We're

122
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: paying the players less money. Whoa, we don't want to

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: get paid less money. Right, So this is where this

124
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: should stop. When the players Association is saying that, hey,

125
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: you don't need to play in more than sixty games,

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: be the MVP, you are now standing up and saying

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: this portion of the season is irrelevant. You do not

128
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: need these games anymore. Okay, what does that tell the NBA.

129
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: Let's look in shortening the schedule, Like, I feel like

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: we're on that path where shortening the schedule is gonna

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: be the big conversation that we have continually until something happens,

132
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: whether it's from eighty two to seventy five or seventy

133
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: five to seventy or look, either you can go fifty

134
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: five or sixty and that's good enough. In the NBA,

135
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: it's just that teams and players are playing less and less,

136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: and they're putting less and less of importance on players

137
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: playing during the regular season. It's like, hey, as long

138
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: as we're okay, we're making the postseason, we don't really

139
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: give a crap. But now this is the NBAPA saying that, yeah,

140
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: quarter of the season doesn't matter. I don't think you

141
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: want that out there, because this is what's opening the

142
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: door to Okay, less games, less money if you if

143
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: you don't want to play, less money for you, guys,

144
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: this is the absolute wrong path the NBA players, as

145
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: those station is going down saying yeah, quarter of the season.

146
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: These games don't really matter. Now we're just saying that

147
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: these games don't matter anymore. We don't want you to

148
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: put a mark on our guy who could win the

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: MVP just because he's not playing in a quarter of

150
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the games, which is a really big deal.

151
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: Now, if you will go back in the annals of

152
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: history of our show, we have talked about CBA's probably

153
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: more than anybody else, because I find some of the

154
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: things that get agreed to and some of the concessions

155
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: to be absolutely astounding and just I'm gobsmacked routinely. And

156
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: when this got ratified, this change to the sixty five

157
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: game threshold. Remember this is only year three of it

158
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: that the Players Association said, good, okay, I mean that's

159
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: seventeen games that you can miss. That's an awful lot

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: of Hey, I don't have to play a back to back.

161
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: If my ankle's a little bit sore, I can sit.

162
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean, this means you don't play at all. Not Hey,

163
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it the old college try and after

164
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: eight minutes I'm out or three minutes or whatever it is.

165
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: This means you didn't suit up at all. And so

166
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: to think that you go down the path of all right, well,

167
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: maybe we'll just kill some games and billions of dollars.

168
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: You know, that's kind of what you're opening up for. Meanwhile,

169
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: you're arguing that the Bucks won't let you honis play.

170
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: It's just the most laughable convergence of press releases and

171
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 3: finger wagging from lawyers that you can have on opposite sides.

172
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: It's like a Spider Man meme amongst themselves. Right, there's

173
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: not even a line drawn out of whack here to

174
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: differentiate that you might be from a different part of

175
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: the multiverse.

176
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: But this is just laughable.

177
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: And one of the other parts to it has always

178
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: been the you tie the awards to the ability to

179
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: earn the Supermax and things of that nature.

180
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, i gotta be a third.

181
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: Team All NBA or I'm gonna lose out on tens

182
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars because some jackass who's voting. This

183
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: goes back to your Danny Hurley argument earlier. Hey, you know,

184
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 3: we can't vote for that guy, he's a on the opposition,

185
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: but vote for this guy because he's kind of our

186
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: friend kind of thing. It's the the idea that you

187
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: would have a one writer decide Hey, I'm gonna vote

188
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: for my own guy, which leaves someone off a third team,

189
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: and that determines what is maximum salary should be. The

190
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: fact that they agreed to that is an extension of

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: the absurdity of what they're proposing here. Ah, we need

192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: an exception? Well, how what what makes the list of

193
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: injuries that are now worthy.

194
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Of an exception? Nah?

195
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: You know what if he breaks something gone, if he

196
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: has an elbow like Moody, then he gets an exception.

197
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: Right, I mean, what, like, what are we doing?

198
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: He had a cold for a week and he sat

199
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: out and and you know, he hydrated. I mean, and

200
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: come on.

201
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Think about this, right, this makes it even more ridiculous,

202
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: and you sound stupider. Can you imagine NFL in December. Right,

203
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: let's just say Joe Burrow thirty five touchdowns or forty

204
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns through the end of November and he gets hurt

205
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: and the end of the season's coming and somebody else

206
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: is gonna win MVP. Can you imagine the NFLPA saying, hey,

207
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: let's change make sure you give Joe Burrow. Let's change

208
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: the rules so Joe Burrow can get a full representation

209
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: for NFL MVP. Just because he got hurt. Look how

210
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: good he was, Like, that's embarrassing, man. Like that, the

211
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: NFLBA would say, I'm not get out of my office.

212
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: You're fired, right, Just think about how desperate it is

213
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: for here's here's the Players Association saying, yeah, we want

214
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: you to make it okay for a guy playing a

215
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: lot less games because he didn't play because he was

216
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: hurt to be able to win the MVP. Right, we

217
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: want to say less time playing, you can still win

218
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: big awards. Like that's so backwards, man. And that's only

219
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: the NBA. It's only the NBA. We're talking about this.

220
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: All the other sports, look or all the other sports.

221
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: There are seasons too long. Yeah, baseball's a little too long.

222
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Baseball could be about one hundred and forty games, right.

223
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: The NFL is it too long? Yeah, maybe a little bit,

224
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: but not by more than a couple of games. NHL's

225
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: a little too long. Maybe they're a few, but nobody

226
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: embraces that that like the like the NBA does. Yes,

227
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: our season's too long, and we don't care. We're gonna

228
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: take breaks during it. We're gonna sit guys down, We're

229
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna try to make rules that players can still enjoy

230
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: big bonuses and money and awards even if they're not

231
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: playing like they they are going out of the way

232
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: to say not playing is okay, not playing is all right,

233
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: and that I mean, you gotta you gotta look in

234
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: the mirror. If you're the NBA, you're Adam Silver, you

235
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: gotta go, Okay, we need something big and bold and

236
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: strong hair, not just me putting some sort of band

237
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: aid on it and then ignoring it for a while,

238
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: Like that's that's really embarrassing for the NBA.

239
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: But the fact that this becomes a like, obviously you

240
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: want to try to stump for your guy, and writers

241
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: everywhere they do it. Right, Hey, who's the guy that

242
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: voted you know, fifth place for this random guy on

243
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: team that won twelve.

244
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: To twelve games? Right?

245
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: The beat rider that that stands up for his guy.

246
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: We see it all the time. This is just a

247
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: larger league wide focus of a rule you just changed,

248
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: and you gave a big concession with seventeen games there,

249
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: and now you're asking for more leeway in the adjudication

250
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: of that. I mean, it was based on Joel Embiid

251
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: missing all that time, and everybody got mad. So retroactively.

252
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: NFL wise, do we now give MVP awards to Derek

253
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: Carr to go along with It's broke, It's broke or

254
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz who didn't get to finish the job. I mean,

255
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: like good history is littered with this in every sport.

256
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: Guys that played one hundred and twenty games in Major

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 3: League Baseball like now, no, not they're the MVP, Like, well,

258
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: they missed the final three months and now it doesn't matter.

259
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: They were great when they play. No, that's not how

260
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: this works.

261
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: It's insane exit. How about a Fresca exit swollen dome?

262
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Like this is what the NBA has got to say. Okay,

263
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: we got problems, man, we got problems with it. This

264
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: is this is the case. This is what they're fighting.

265
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Look at what all the other uh, look what all

266
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: the other leagues are fighting, Like like major League Baseball is, hey,

267
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: we're about more money, we're expansion, We're this, we're that,

268
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: we're all this other thing. The NFL is about, Hey,

269
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: bigger piece of the pie. And here's what and here's

270
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: the NBA is about. Yeah, let's have let's play less.

271
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: But this morning, I was like with the honest story

272
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: was like Hey, all right, here we go.

273
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: And then immediately.

274
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: Thereafter the kid come ah man, they won for five minutes,

275
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: like all right, let's go, let's have this fight. Nah,

276
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: we're just making making stuff up. Let's go back to

277
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: being soft.

278

Speaker 1: teens getting set for the Sweet sixteen later on this week.

342
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Their star freshman Darius Acuff has landed a signature shoe

343
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: deal with Rebock. He is the first NCAA men's athlete

344
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: to get one with a major US brand while still

345
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: in college. He is the first men's basketball player to

346
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: have a signature shoe for Rebox since John Wall. Okay, now,

347
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: this is a kid who's been fantastic this year. SEC

348
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, first player to lead the SEC

349
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: in scoring average and assists per game since Pete Maravich

350
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: going back fifty five years. Like I feel like Rebock is,

351
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: they are doing a real life air right where Nike

352
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: decides what do we do with our money? What are

353
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: we gonna do? Do we give some to this guy?

354
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: Do we give some to this guy? I don't know. Hey,

355
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: let's go going on Michael Jordan, right cause Sunny Vacaro

356
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: thinks Jordan's gonna be the big star of the draft

357
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and he wear it. Let's give all our money to him. Okay,

358
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: and it works out. Here's reebok. What do we do

359
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: people wearing rebox shoes. We haven't had a guy since

360
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: John Wall. I don't know, Hey, Acuff is really good man,

361
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: he's fun, he's he's someone that projects great at the

362
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: next level. He's a star freshman. Hey, he'll take our money.

363
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's do it here. Like I feel like

364
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Rebuk has just saw air and said, hey, why don't

365
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: we just do this and maybe this will work out

366
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: for us and Acuff will be r Michael Jordan.

367
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it has expanded it's digital reach here

368
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: in recent weeks where it's it's on different platforms, so

369
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: everybody gets to go and watch it based on the

370
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: streaming services you subscribe to. So so maybe there's there's

371
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: a connection to be held there. The other is, at

372
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: some point, just like all the streaming services, you got

373
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: to push in and go all in on and make

374
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: your bet and a big bet on a singular player

375
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 3: and you know, go for broke, right. We see it

376
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: in every aspect of our world. Maybe all you at home,

377
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: you know your portfolios, you're hey this, it's now time

378
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 3: to buy that house or upgrade the car or whatever

379
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: you're looking to do. In this case, you know, a

380
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 3: cuff becomes the guy that they decide to pin their

381
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: hopes to.

382
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you had to pick somebody, right, Yeah,

383
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go with Sam Bouie. No, we're gonna

384
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: split our money up here. No, Hey, let's pick the

385
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: guy who wanted the ball as a freshman to shoot

386
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: in the National Championship game. Let's go get him. Let's

Speaker 3: I'man nineteen years old top ten in All Prospecting Player.

389
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: Of the Year.

390
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: I mean all these accoltes, I mean the commercials right themselves.

391
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, and you know what, and I would be

392
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: more than happy for a Rebok comeback like I've always

393
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: I've always loved Reebok. I wish Reebok would be back.

394
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: The sneakers are great. They make wide sneakers, which are good.

395
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: The hoodies are really fun. The logo is so nineties

396
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: right like that with the triangle is everything that speaks

397
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: oh this is this is early nineties retro man, Like,

398
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: I really want Reebok to come back. I don't know why.

399
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: I always had a soft spot for Reebok. And you know,

400
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: growing up, it was Nike was the number one, and

401
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, people didn't really buy Adidas, like the Adidas

402
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: was more like people who played tennis at different sports.

403
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: And you know, you get to the eighties and early

404
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: nineties and then Reebok shows up. You're like, oh, they

405
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: got the pump shoe and they're here and they want

406
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: to challenge Nike. All right, that's great. Yeah it's Nike

407
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: and Reebok one two, Nike and Reebuck one two. And

408
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: then Adidas bought Reebok, telling you, showing you exactly just

409
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: this is where the power was. I'm like, oh, they

410
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: got bought by Adidas, okay, And now like the only

411
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: place I can find Reebok is if you go to

412
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: like an outlet mall, like, oh, the Rebuck out I'm

413
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna go see what they got sneakers there, because everything

414
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: is like forty five percent off going to Rebuck. I

415
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: hope Reebok makes a big comeback. I love Reebok.

416
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: Well, competition is always good for wider feet. Gentlemen like

417
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: your yourself and myself, you need options. I've been suckered

418
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: in on a couple of the other brands, I mean

419
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: not sponsors, so I'm not gonna endorse one over another,

420
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: but I can't wear them without going up two sizes

421
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: to where they become clown shoes on me. And suddenly,

422
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: if I'm trying to hit a three late in a

423
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: playoff game, it's gonna be a problem for me.

424
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: I Kevin Durant.

425
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: So, like all of those things is to say, if

426
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: we can get more competition and more filtering back in

427
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: and not just all white shoes. Remember when Steph Curry

428
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: released his like what are we doing? And he became

429
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: the prodigal son of nursing shoes. I think it was

430
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: the patron saying of nursing shoes, and then they finally

431
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: added some color back into those. But it's look, it's good,

432
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: it's good for business. Competition is good.

433
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, look, and I and just the Rebuk brand

434
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: coming back, like, I hope this works because because I

435
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: really like Reebuck. I thought Reebok was pretty sharp. The

436
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: sneakers were, like I said, the hoodies are awesome, man,

437
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: They're comfortable, they're big, and I don't know just the logo.

438
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: Just no, dude, what are you talking about? Man? Your time?

439
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: I lost like sixty five pounds the shoes, man, Oh

440
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: though the shoes they have good, they have good wide shoes.

441
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: I had, I had, I had a Well you said

442
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: I can't fit in them, and I was thinking I

443
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: was mentioning hoodies. That's why. No, the shoes, Like, I

444
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: actually had a pair of Rebox shoes and I wore

445
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: for a lot of the pumps. No, I wish all

446
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: the pups if they made those in wide shoes, oh

447
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: kidd and I would I would have gotten those, Oh

448
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: my god. Like, I can't believe they didn't become the

449
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: biggest selling shoe. When d Brown won the Dunk Contest

450
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: and he's pumping up his Rebox shoe before he makes

451
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: the game winning the the UH dunk winning UH or

452
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: the contest winning dunk, Like, I can't believe it didn't

453
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: just blow the doors off a Nike at that point.

454
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: Here's a guy winning the slam Dunk contest where you

455
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: have to jump and elevate, and I'm pumping up the

456
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: shoes to give me more, uh, to give me more

457
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: a place where I can where I can.

458
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 5: This is where you explain to people who d Brown.

459
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Is, Hey, I'm lucky. People know what Reebok is. Wait

460
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: wait Rebok? I mean it's yeah, it's it's between ari

461
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: I outlet and uh the Adidas and then there's a

462
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: little bit of Timberland outlet, and then there's true Religion Jens,

463
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: and then you get to potentially after the Puma outlet,

464
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: is the Reebuk outlet. That's what it is. Uh So,

465
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: oh dude. You know. I went through a hot minute

466
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: like in my mid twenties where I'm like, oh my god,

467
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: I want to get all of these Ed Hardy T shirts.

468
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: And then I was so glad I didn't get any

469
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: of them. I was like, oh man, they did not

470
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: age well. O man, I am so glad. I'm so

471
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: glad I backed off of those. I was like, wow,

472
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: that was that was where cooler heads prevailed for me.

473
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: I I was stoked about that A lot. A lot

474
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: of things I wish I had I had pulled the

475
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: trigger on That's one thing. I was like, Okay, that's

476
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: all good man. I'm glad I didn't go a go

477
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: all Ed Hardy. History saved you a little bit there. Yeah.

478
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

479
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Now, meanwhile, elsewhere in college basketball, Hubert Davis is out

480
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina head coach. Now, we told you a week

481
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: ago was gonna happen. It wasn't a huge failure by Davis.

482
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: He still won a lot of games, got to the tournament,

483
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: went to the national title game his first year. But

484
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: it's been really bad optics And he's had a couple

485
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: of seasons where they started out great and they ended poorly. Right,

486
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: he went from number one preseason, didn't he make the tournament,

487
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of tournaments now where his team has

488
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: blown big leads in games. It's not like the North

489
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: Carolina brand has fallen off. It's not like they've fallen

490
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. But they have had

491
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: a couple of defeats that not about the players, not

492
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: about the fans, not about the school itself. But when

493
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: nil backers, and you know they're the ones that are

494
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: because they're behind everything, and when they say, yeah, I

495
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know about this guy. Hey, we'll get somebody else,

496
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: someone else, someone else. We told you a week ago

497
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: this was gonna happen. Because you don't want apathy to

498
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: set in into any sort of collegiate situation.

499
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 3: Right.

500
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: It's why you always make move on a coach a

501
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: year earlier than a year later, because you could have

502
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: a bad recruiting cycle coming off of it and suddenly

503
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: you've really hurt your team by saying, Aye, we'll stick

504
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: it with this guy for one more year. They couldn't

505
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: stick with Hubert Davis for another year because I guarantee

506
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: you that all the all the people that are making

507
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: the big checks out that are gonna get uh North Carolina,

508
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: and I own money between twelve and fifteen millionaire saying yeah,

509
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: different guy, I'll give you my money, but I'm not

510
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: doing another year for this because this was really disappointing.

511
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: So he told you it was gonna happen, and it

512
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: did happen, and now the big thing is gonna be Okay,

513
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: you got what you want, but who are you gonna get? Right,

514
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: Like you like looking at some of the names thrown

515
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: out there now, it's just like, hey, we're just throwing

516
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: names out there and seeing what sticks. Right, Like Billy

517
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: Donovan is at the top of the list. I'm like, Okay,

518
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back to North Carolina after being away

519
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: for fifteen years. Okay, maybe Billy Donovan, I could see that,

520
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: But then look at the other names. Brad Stevens, he's

521
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: not coming back to coach again. Come on, maybe guy

522
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: hasn't coached almost twenty years. He's not coming back to coach.

523
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: All these other guys, Dusty may, Nate Oats, Todd Golden.

524
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: These guys are all gonna get big new deals with

525
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: their school where they don't have to worry about getting

526
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and being out of a job in

527
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: a year and a half. Right, they know I can

528
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: get paid. Everything is going well here. I'm gonna use

529
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: this as leverage. I mean really, I even saw where

530
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: oh maybe they'll call Dan Hurley. Dan Hurley didn't leave

531
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: to go to the Laker. He's not gonna leave to

532
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: go to North Carolina. No one's gonna do that, because

533
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: not just because you're on a short leash with with

534
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: North Carolina, where hey, if you don't win early, you're

535
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. But college sports changes every five minutes. Now,

536
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: are we sure that the North Carolina brand is still

537
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 1: North Carolina? You would think so. You would think it's

538
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: still jump Man in Jordan, the Powder Blues and the

539
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: recruits and the nil money. But are we sure that

540
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: that's the case, right? Because for guys like Golden and

541
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: May and Oates, they know, hey, we're doing really great here, man.

542
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: I know if I'm jumping someplace else, it might not

543
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: be this great. And now this is not to say

544
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: that North Carolina isn't, but are we really sure in

545
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: this day and age, when things change every five minutes,

546
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina is still gonna be that brand? I mean really,

547
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: That's why I want to know. Okay, Hubert Davis is out,

548
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: So what's next? Right? Jerry mcnameric could have waited an

549
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: extra ten minutes and maybe would have said, oh wait, sorry,

550
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: Syrah Cu Sorry, sorry, Hey, I'm gonna go to North Carolina.

551
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. I resign as HC of SU. See

552
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: you guys, Yeah, I really, where are you gonna go?

553
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: If you're North Carolina? Are you sure that you could

554
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: just say North Carolina and you're gonna get everybody in

555
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: their grandmother to say, I want this job. I don't

556
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: know that that's the case anymore.

557
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: First order of business is retaining your current roster. Anybody

558
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: that's thinking of another year in the collegiate sphere, what's

559
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: to keep them from jumping somewhere else. The estimate is

560
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: fourteen to fifteen million of nil this past year on

561
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: the North Carolina budget. And we've watched it with Hubert

562
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: Davis year after year. You've got recruits, you've got strong squads,

563
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: and you don't finish the job. In this case, Caleb

564
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: Wilson wasn't available down the stretch and it weighed them

565
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: down and ultimately costs Davis's job. Great, great regular season record,

566
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: couldn't finish. But for anybody coming back in, you're now

567
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 3: competing for dollars with Bill Belichick's football squad at the school.

568
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: At the same time, you go to the general athletic fund.

569
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: Whoever the new coach is might have to wrestle Bill

570
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: Belichick for that money. Maybe you make Bill Belichick to

571
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: coach on both teams he coaches. Hey, Bill, we're paying

572
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: you a lot. We stuck with you through the whole

573
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: Shortan Hudson fiasco.

574
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: You coach them both. Now, good luck.

575
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: Dollar cost averaging out a games coach. Basis, if you're.

576
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: Not gonna win in college football, we're at least going

577
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: to not pay money for a coach in college basketball.

578
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: So you got to do both of them. Now, Bill,

579
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: there you go, both your jobs. But to that point, right,

580
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: you're reaching in. It's the same people's pockets. And if

581
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: they're willing to dig in to try to build up

582
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: with Belichick's and everybody he's got working with him or

583
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: trying to do on the football side, guess what, that's

584
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: fewer dollars on the other Or you've got to go

585
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: cultivate new relationships. And that's where a new coach with

586
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: some gravitas might bring some of those benefactors along with them, right,

587
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: which is why guys with long skin in the game,

588
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: when you talk about Donovan, when you talk about Stevens,

589
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: if you were able to coax those two guys, well,

590
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 3: they've they've been at both levels. They've got a lot

591
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: of relationships and a lot of people that might be

592
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: might behoove them to help them. Hey we got a

593
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: kid we like here, direct them to North Carolina and

594
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: you get them for a year to help them along,

595
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: and we pay the freight. I mean, there might be

596
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: something to that, But otherwise you got a lot of

597
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: unproven guys that this might just jump into this. I mean,

598
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: you got to be thanking your lucky stars that McNamara

599
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: put on the Syracuse Orange and said.

600
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm here and I'm back and I love this.

601
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: Wait that job became open.

602
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Oh no, we really suck again.

603
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: Stop stop, guys, anybody got a napkin?

604
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: I resign back him immediately. Time to find out what's

605
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: trending in the wide world of sports. Someone who's been

606
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: called the Jerry McNamara of Fox Sports Radio. He was

607
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: great that he left and he came back, and now

608
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: he's great again. It's Steve Desager.

609
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 6: Apparently McNamara has failed his physical with Syracuse. It's been rescinded,

610
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 6: and he is going to know.

611
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,680
