Speaker 3: I know, well, Andy, how's everything with you?

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: You know what, though, I watched those games last night

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: and I'm saying to myself, you know, yeah, four number ones.

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: You know there's no Cinderella this year. You know what?

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: This is the way to go. Four number ones, the

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 4: way to go.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a couple of words to say

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: about this game, that Houston game, the Cougars seventy sixty

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: seven comeback over Duke last night, A stunner, a heartbreaker, improbable,

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: and you know what the bottom lineers and maybe a

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: way off base on this. I think it's maturity against youth.

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: I just think the youth kind of crackled with the

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: fiftiest thought is on Houston and these seniors on Houston

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: kind of paved the way and they had more of

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: the confidence factor, where the youth on Duke, including Cooper

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: Flag who basically did scored twenty seven points, but down

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: the stretch he kind of like short his immaturity.

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think it's been a common theme

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 5: in college basketball. The older team wins and there's nothing

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: that can replace experience and expertise, and the repetitions that

32
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: these older teams have gotten forced sorry has forced them

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 5: in fire, so they're prepared for those moments. Despite the talent,

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 5: and look, Duke is im mensely talented, maybe the most

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 5: talented team that was in the final four, there's still

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 5: nothing that replaces the wisdom that you acquire by going

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 5: through a time and time again.

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: And what we saw was a.

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 5: Hardened team, a team that was seasoned, a team that

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: had been in these moments time and time again. We

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 5: saw them pull it out because they knew how to

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: win in those moments more so than Duke completely collapse in.

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: At the end.

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: It amazes me some of the things that happened in

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: that game last night. First of all, in a sixteen

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: second span under a minute to play, Houston goes on

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: a seven zero run. All right, that's number one, number two. Honestly,

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: I cannot believe the comeback. Certainly with nineteen seconds to go,

49
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Juan Roberts has down two free throws. I don't know

50
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: how you do that with a crowd like that. I mean,

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: I can't do it in the park, and he's doing

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: it in front of like sixty thousand people. Nineteen seconds

53
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: left to help his team take that one point lead,

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 2: that Ljkry has two more free throws to steal the win.

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: So the Cougars ended up on a nine to notzhing

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: run in thirty three seconds. I mean, you don't see

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: that in basketball. I don't know how it happens.

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: Is that a fluke? I don't know.

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: They trailed by fourteen with about eight to fifteen to

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: go in the game and they had to comeback. Amazing, Yeah,

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: it truly is amazing. Remark have you want to describe it?

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: But what I would say in watching Houston over the

63
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: course of the season real tough, minded, gritty team, a

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 5: team that hangs their hat on defense. And when you

65
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: hang your hat on defense like it always gives you

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: a chance. And when Houston needed to get stops, they

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: were able to make Duke uncomfortable get stops, and then

68
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 5: they converted those stops and their points on offense. And

69
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: when you have older players, players who aren't afraid of

70
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 5: the moment, they didn't blink or wilt when the game

71
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 5: pressure got thick. They were able to kind of keep

72
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: their composure, focus on the things that needed to be done,

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 5: and they executed. And a lot of times in these

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 5: moments we talk about, execution exceeds emotion and you got

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 5: to be able to focus on what do I need

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: to do, how do I need to do it, when

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: do I need to get it done, as opposed to

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: being in your feelings, And Houston was able to do that.

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: And then on the other side with Duke, look, the

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: emotion of the moment, the feeling like the game is

81
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: slipping away, overwhelmed them and they weren't able to make

82
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: the players they needed to make at the end of

83
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: the game.

84
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: It amazes me because Kelvin Sampson was asked after the

85
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: ball game yesterday. You know, it was the most improbable

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: win of the year for him or maybe in his career.

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: And he said no, because back in a month ago

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: they were playing in Allen Field House in Kansas and

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: they rallied with like ninety one seconds to play to

90
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: win at Kansas in double overtime. So you know, he's

91
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: used to it, and I think that kind of transcends

92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: into his players. So they used to it and say, hey,

93
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: calm down, we did it before, we could do it again.

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: I mean, like, when you have experience, is the best

96
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 5: teacher that you can have. Going through these situations time

97
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 5: and time a in is the best thing you can

98
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: do to prepare your team down the line, especially if

99
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 5: you're able to go through something hard and come out

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: on the other side successfully. Because Houston has had several

101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: of these moments throughout the course of the season where

102
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 5: had the boat like buckle down and make plays down

103
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: the streats to win games, They're very, very comfortable in

104
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: that environment. And because they are team that look, they

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 5: pride themselves in their toughness, their physicality, their defense, their

106
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: ability to kind of win all the fifty to fifty plays.

107
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 5: They just believe that they can outwork you and outlast

108
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: you at the end of games, and they were able

109
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: to do that in the final four.

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you mentioned something about defense, and

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: they kind of put their head on defense. They started

112
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: the game. Lease some of the statistics from the game

113
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: last night. They started from the field one for nine,

114
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: three for fifteen, and then five to twenty five. Okay,

115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: but they out rebounded Duke by eleven and they scored

116
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: nineteen second chance points against Duke, all right, and it

117
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: amazes me. Then they trailed by fourteen about eleven thirty

118
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: to go in the game, and they held Duke to

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: three points in the final three minutes. Now, I don't

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: know if it's their great defense or Duke so of choked.

121
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's exactly what happened. Three points

122
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: in three minutes.

123
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.

124
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 5: Look, there are a lot of different things that can

125
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: factor into it. The defense play well. Duke certainly had

126
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: to help them to turn over his misfretz Rose, lack

127
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 5: of execution, all that stuff played a part, But without

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 5: Houston having a belief that they could win, without them

129
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: being able to kind of turn up that effort and

130
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: play with the desperation, but I would say a controlled desperation.

131
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not able to get that done.

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 5: At some point, when you're coming back from a significant deficit,

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: you have to get the game close enough so you

134
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 5: can make the opponent feel the pressure. Houston did that,

135
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 5: and they seized their opportunity when Duke made some costly

136
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 5: mistakes down the stretch.

137
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: It amazes me, and I thought that when Tugla had

138
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: that technical foul call on him and Duke goes to

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: the foul line shooting the technical, Duke's up sixty seven

140
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: sixty one to figure the games over. Really, I was

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: already to show the TV off. I thought the game

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: was over right there, and I was pulling for Houston.

143
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 2: I think you get a guy like Kelvin Sampson who's

144
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: now has seven hundred and ninety nine wins, and he's

145
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: had some misfortune. I mean, I mean when they kind

146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: of dumped them out of Indiana as a coach of

147
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: the Indiana Hoosiers. Now the NCAA has changed the rule

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: now on those phone calls. He was let go because

149
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: of like not illegal phone calls, but maybe making too

150
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: many off season for recruiting.

151
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: Now that's Okay, that's all. Okay.

152
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: So you know he had that black mark against him,

153
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: but he came back. He came back strong. I think

154
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: he was an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks for

155
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: a while and he got a second chance and I

156
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: love that. And boy, oh boy, is he have a

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a Hall of Fame coach. I don't

158
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: care what happened prior to to yesterday. He's going to

159
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame because hopefully Monday night

160
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: he gets his eight hundredth career win and used to

161
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: wins it all.

162
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be tough, though, because Florida is talented.

163
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: They got players, they got big shot makers, they had

164
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 5: a lot of athleticism. We'll see how to handle it.

165
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 5: Should be a great final, dough. It should be a

166
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: great title game. I'm excited to look at it.

167
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 4: I am too.

168
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Let's take a list with Kelvin Simpson how to say

169
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: after the game last night, Calvin coach.

170
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 6: No one ever loses in anything. As long as you

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 6: don't quit, you quit. I don't care because you've lost.

172
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 6: I'm figuring our time outside. We've been here before. It's

173
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 6: not like we're down twenty it's not like we were

174
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: playing great. Felt like if we could get it close

175
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 6: enough to put some game pressure on them, that something

176
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 6: that could happen. But the credit, the credit, how the

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 6: glory goes to God and the creditable young man.

178
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: I got the coach.

179
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm so glassed. I get the coach.

180
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: You know, Kevin Sampson was great. I mean, I love

181
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: the man. I think that I think the kids loved

182
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: playing for him. He's an old school coach. He's tough.

183
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to see one of his practices

184
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: because I'm sure he's just really tough, because a lot

185
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: of times after the ball game will say, well, you

186
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: know that that's nothing, that we've done that in practice,

187
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: and that's great, okay. But the one good thing that

188
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: I that I'm hearing and I didn't hear from you,

189
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: which is wonderful. I heard people crying after the game

190
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: on various talk shows that, well, the Cooper flag foul at.

191
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: The end of the game.

192
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: It was a bad call. Don't blame it on one play.

193
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: You had a lead. You were up, I mean you

194
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: were up with eight minutes to go.

195
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 4: You were up. You had the lead.

196
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: You know, when Houston won the game last night. It

197
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: was only the third time that had the lead the

198
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: entire freaking game.

199
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: So you're gonna play.

200
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: It on a free on a foul call, which in fact,

201
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: the announcers on TV and Bill Raftery didn't. No one

202
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: even complain about that call. No one said it was

203
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: a bad call, but don't play it on the call.

204
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: So I'm so happy you didn't blame it on the

205
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: call because it had nothing to do with it. It

206
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: may have been a touchy call perhaps, and maybe at

207
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: that time of the game you don't maybe blow the whistle.

208
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the point is that Duke had

209
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: the game in hand, and don't blame it on a foul.

210
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta finish the game.

211
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: They had a significant lead, They had multiple opportunities to

212
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: ice the game and they didn't. When you when you're

213
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: allowed to come back and you put it, we always

214
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: say like, don't let it go to the judges. And

215
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: they let it get close enough where the if it

216
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 5: could make a call that would sway the game, that's

217
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: on them.

218
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: They got to finish the do you know.

219
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: I will say this at the end of the day,

220
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: and this game will be one of those games for

221
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: the ages. Do you call it an incredible combat by

222
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Houston Cougar's or what do you call it one of

223
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: the biggest.

224
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 4: Collapses in Final Four history.

225
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's a combination of both.

226
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: That's basically what it is.

227
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: I think it's an incredible comeback.

228
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: I think the comeback puts the pressure on the team

229
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: to make them collapse.

230
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: I don't think it was just Douke being lose to Careless.

231
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 5: I think a lot of it was the effort and

232
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 5: energy that Houston exerted. Then it was the execution down

233
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: the stretch and when they had to make plays, they

234
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: made plays.

235
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: You know.

236
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: And it was funny because you talk about defensive they

237
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: basically Houston has been winning on defense twenty year long.

238
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: And basically Florida came back in their game. It was

239
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: a seventy nine to seventy three and Auburn. I thought

240
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: Auburn had him. I thought Auburn may have been even

241
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: the better team. I don't know, but the second half

242
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: they were a different ball club. You know, they came

243
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: back defensively, that's basically what they did. And this kid,

244
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: Walter Clayton Junior, I don't think he's got the accolades

245
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: he deserved.

246
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: What he did last night career.

247
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: High and a game high thirty four points last night,

248
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he owned the game.

249
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: They couldn't stop him.

250
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: And really, truly, you hear about so many players in

251
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: college basketball throughout the season. I just don't think he

252
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: got enough pub throughout the season. But the way he

253
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: played last night, it was amazing.

254
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was brilliant. He made plays.

255
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: You know, he showed up when it was time for

256
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 5: them to show up, and it was great to see

257
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 5: him play like he played. In terms of being a

258
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 5: big shot, big shot maker, he's been terrific. Though he

259
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 5: had an opportunity starting out at Iona, playing under Rick Patino,

260
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: makes his way to Florida, and he has steadily improved

261
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 5: and gotten better and for them this season, he's been

262
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: the number one guy. He's been the go to guy

263
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 5: that got to count on whenever they needed a bucket.

264
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 5: And look, he saved his best for when they needed

265
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 5: it the most. He was terrific yesterday.

266
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: You Know, it's funny because I don't think many people

267
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: either A know that he went to Iona or be

268
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: don't even know where Iona is. It's in New Rochelle,

269
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: New York and that's where Patino coach, probably to Saint John's.

270
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 2: And what we're seeing right here in the big picture

271
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: is the fact that there's a lot of players that

272
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: have been skipped over on a I guess mid major

273
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: or a lower D one program like on Iona and

274
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 2: they're in the Matt Conference, MAAC Conference. You just can

275
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: see right now. What's happening with the portal is the

276
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: fact that it's almost serving as a minor league for

277
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: major league colleges.

278
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: That's what it's doing. You got the big schools in

279
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: the SEC.

280
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna reach down and get a player that maybe

281
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: they skipped over. They say, hey, let's give them a shot.

282
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: And we're seeing it right now. So that's why you

283
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: get four teams in the final fourth that are all

284
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: number ones and they say there's no Cinderella. You know what,

285
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: I changed my mind? The heck with the Cinderella is yeah,

286
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: the great story. You get the loyalists of Chicago, you

287
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: got the do Canes, you got your Saint Francis a PA.

288
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: You know what, those teams are never gonna win anyway,

289
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: So get him out of there and let's see the

290
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: best of the best.

291
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 4: And that's what we did last night.

292
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: You say, get him out of there, get him out.

293
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 5: They're away best, the best we're seeing. I mean, I

294
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 5: mean there's something to that. I'm not disagreeing with you. Yeah,

295
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: we're seeing the best of the best. It's unfortunate. March

296
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 5: Madness was fun. It was fun when you can see

297
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 5: the upsets and all the other stuff. But it's a

298
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 5: different time and it's gonna be we're not going to

299
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 5: see that anymore.

300
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: They're no longer would be madness.

301
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: It's going to be the favors in both sides, men's bracket,

302
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: women's bracket. It's gonna change the way we go about

303
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 5: doing business. But I don't foresee anything change. And the

304
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: way the portal is and the way everything is nah

305
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: that the haves and the have nots a being divided.

306
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: There's a more significant gap between them than there's ever been.

307
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the funny thing is that in years past,

308
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: people will tell me all the time, well, you know,

309
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: anybody could win, because it's not the best team of

310
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: the country that could have win March Man.

311
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 4: It's it's just a tournament. Okay. Now I'm not saying

312
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: it's not a tournament anymore.

313
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Now, you're gonna see the best of the best, because

314
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: we're seeing that now. The four teams that are won

315
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: number one and Auburn was the number one, number one,

316
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: and they go down the road. You know, it's very

317
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: similar to what the women have had for years, because

318
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: you've seen Tennessee dominate for so many years. South Carolina, Connecticut,

319
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: I mean, they've dominated because it's the halfs and a

320
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: half nuts. There's maybe on one hand you could count

321
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: the great teams in women's college basketball.

322
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: I'll tell you who they are, USC, UCLA, South.

323
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: Carolina, Connecticut, and maybe Texas And basically that's it, right,

324
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: and they got the championship going on today with a

325
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: South Carolina playing Yukon, it's gonna be a pretty good game.

326
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 4: Other than that, everybody else falls on the wayside.

327
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, look, you have the teams that have

328
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: always been there, have always kind of been the top dogs, and.

329
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: They continue to be there.

330
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: You throw in LSU, you got them, you kind of

331
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 5: name them all. There's some teams that are flash and

332
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: occasionally they'll pop up and make some things happen and

333
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: you can say, Okay, they've had a really good season.

334
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 5: But in terms of programs, establishing programs a little bit

335
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 5: of the teams that have the best players consistently dominated

336
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: at the top, and those teams that you mentioned, particularly

337
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 5: on the women's side, they always always are dominant.

338
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's great because I love doing Staley the

339
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: coach of South Carolina, because she doesn't hold back. You know,

340
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: she doesn't hold.

341
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: About the thing.

342
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: And now she's complaining to the extent I agree with her,

343
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: and she says in according right now. Sometimes we create

344
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: these narratives about great players. It's about Caitlin clusters. Kaitlyn

345
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: was one of them. Paige Becker is one of them

346
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: right now, and we tend to forget the narrative about

347
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: what our kids, meaning our kids in South Carolina have

348
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: been able to do going for the third title in

349
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: four years.

350
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: And this is what she said yesterday.

351
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: There's a sentimental narrative about Page, a great freaking player.

352
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: Anybody would start their franchise with Page because she's a winner.

353
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: But when you put a narrative out there, everybody sees

354
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: that and puts us at a disadvantage.

355
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 4: Whether you want to believe so or not. I love

356
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: that it's true.

357
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: I mean South Carolina has been dominating women's college basketball

358
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: for the last three four years and this page Becker's

359
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: comes out and she didn't even play last year.

360
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: She was hurt. And this hype, the hype is crazy.

361
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it.

362
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: I mean it sells tickets, it gets on the front page.

363
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: People want to turn the TV on to see this

364
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: one player. But I think in the sense it hurts.

365
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: I know, all of a sudden, page Becker's is the

366
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: new Caitlin Clark, right.

367
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but no, I would say this was she was

368
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 5: her before this moment. She's always been highly regarded.

369
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: I want to go.

370
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: And say, going all the way back to her freshman year,

371
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 5: she might have won an esp for how dominant she was.

372
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: She has always been one of the elite players.

373
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: They've talked about her. She was legendary when she got

374
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: to Yukon.

375
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: So this is not a Johnny come Lately, a late revelation,

376
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: someone that's new.

377
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: To the party.

378
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: It took her a while last year to recover from

379
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 5: their knee, but no, she's legit. And so the hype

380
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: and the credit that she's getting right now to recognition

381
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 5: is well deserve because she is one of the best

382
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 5: players that we've seen.

383
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: She's phenomenal.

384
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's great though, So Don Staley comes

385
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: back and says, unquote, she's a great player meeting pages,

386
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: but just because you're a great player doesn't mean you

387
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: need to win the national championship to legitimize it. Basically,

388
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: she's saying, you ain't gonna win. South Carolina's gonna win

389
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: whether to beat you, You're still gonna be a great player,

390
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: but we're the great team.

391
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 4: That's basically what she's saying. I love it.

392
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: She's probably gotten her head right now. I love down Staley.

393
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: She's a great coach. I mean, I don't know how

394
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: she does it. I don't know if there's a lot

395
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: of is there a lot of nil money in women's

396
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: college basketball? I don't know are these women getting good cash?

397
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 5: I mean, she built it up, she built up the program.

398
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 5: She's done it everywhere. She did it at Temple. She

399
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 5: was a great player. I personally watched her play at

400
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: the University of Virginia when I was at North Carolina

401
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: and they were a dominant team. And she has taken

402
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 5: all those experiences from being on the women's version of

403
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 5: the Dream Team to coaching with the Sting and playing

404
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 5: with the sting and becoming everything that she's become as

405
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 5: a coach and helped those players become a dominant team.

406
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 5: And when she went to South Carolina, no one thought

407
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 5: South Carolina was a destination when it came to women's basketball.

408
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: She built that up, She created that aura, and she

409
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: is being able to really recruit good players. But they

410
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 5: are a tough defensive team, super athletic. They're gonna get

411
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 5: after it. This would be a great game because you

412
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 5: know Arima. Look, man, he's one of the best who've

413
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 5: ever done it. Eleven national titles, but he hasn't won

414
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 5: one since twenty sixteen. This is a big, gay, big

415
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 5: game for both programs.

416
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 4: Right.

417
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: I think he won. He's pretty hungry about that. He

418
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: came out something like yesterday, I think he had a

419
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 2: coach saying that, you know, the years that they've lost,

420
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: he blames it on himself.

421
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: He said the various coaching moves.

422
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: And that's kind of big. That's a big thing to

423
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: come out and say. And some media person was pushing

424
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: him and kind of saying, well, you know, what moves.

425
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: Did you make that caused these losses.

426
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: He didn't want to go into that, but he said

427
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: there's some of the coaching moves that he made or

428
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: didn't make, created the fact that, you know, Connecticut did

429
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: not win several championships down the road that he thinks

430
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: that they should have won. But you know, the other

431
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: night they beat UCLA. They beat him like a drum.

432
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they really beat him barely. I mean I

433
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: couldn't believe the score when I saw that score. It

434
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: was like eighty five fifty one Yukon once and u

435
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: CLA is pretty darn good. And they were they were

436
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 2: the number one overall seeds. So Connecticut comes into this

437
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: game at the number two seed. So we'll see what happens.

438
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that the game is a standalone game.

439
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: What I mean by that, it's not like part of

440
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: a double headed with the men. It's not on the

441
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: same time where the same day as the men. It's

442
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: the say afternoon East coast three pm time, and you know,

443
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: got an audience. I think it'll be a pretty well respected,

444
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: a pretty good sized audience watching that nothing else going on.

445
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: There's no football or anything else going on at three

446
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: pm Eastern time today, Sunday afternoon. So I think that

447
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: it's a good thing for the women.

448
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great thing.

449
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: They put it on prime time, as you be, a

450
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: terrific opportunity to kind of see the women on the

451
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: main stage. And we've seen it in the last couple

452
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: of years, like the game is growing so much interest

453
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: in the game.

454
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: This would be fun to see because you talked about

455
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: two legendary programs, two legendary coaches going at it.

456
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: Now.

457
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: I was talking to my wife about this the other day,

458
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: and it's hard to believe. And maybe maybe I'm showing

459
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: my age. I don't know when you were in high school.

460
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't think. I'm trying to think now I'm going

461
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: back in time. I don't even think my high school

462
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: had a girls basketball team. I don't remember. I don't

463
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: think they did. I'm sure yours did right at the time.

464
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, weird girls basketball for sure. You know.

465
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: I don't think they had it. Even in college. I

466
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: don't remember. I don't even know.

467
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: I can't remember yesterday, but I don't remember that far back.

468
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: I don't think we did. I mean, that's how far

469
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: women's sports has come. And it amazes me right now

470
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: when you turn the tube on and it's kind of

471
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: just kind of channel surf on a given night you

472
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: could see three or four women's college basketball games on TV,

473
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: which is you know, it blows me away because I remember,

474
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: I still don't think my high school had a high

475
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: school girls basketball team, And I try to follow my

476
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: high school right now and the schools where I grew

477
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: up in the neighborhood in Brooklyn, and there are even

478
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: women coaching boys high school teams in Brooklyn, New York,

479
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: which I think is wonderful. I think what has happened

480
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: over the change in time, I think it's remarkable.

481
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: I really do.

482
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean I think that people don't see it from

483
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: day to day, but when you look back and look

484
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: at the big picture, what has happened with women's sports,

485
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: I think it's tremendous.

486
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: I really do.

487
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: I love it because women deserve the opportunity to deserve

488
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,239
Speaker 2: the chance, and now they're getting it.

489
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, look they are getting They're just due.

490
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 5: The game is continue to grow, and look, it's the

491
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: popularity of the stars, like people talk about Kaitlin Clark

492
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 5: and Angelies and some of the other ladies that have

493
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 5: really helped elevate this game on top of the solid

494
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: foundation that's been coming, but it has become a phenomenon.

495
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 5: More people are tuning in, more people have respect and

496
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 5: reverence for the players and the way the game is played,

497
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 5: and so all of that is terrific, and we'll get

498
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: a chance to see it midday.

499
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: It should be fine.

500
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, who do you like? Just asking you right now,

501
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: who do you think is take that game?

502
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: It's because win. Look, Connecticut has played well.

503
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: South Carolina has not played great, but they continued to

504
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: dismantle people and they played their best game in the

505
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: final four semi. To me, I think it's destined you

506
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 5: can go back to back, So give me South Carolina.

507

546
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Now let's get into this. Because they

547
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: had what they call I guess showcase day or I

548
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: don't know what you'd call practice into a practice NFL

549
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: practice day in Colorado, which you quote, were you there?

550
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: Were you there, Bucket?

551
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: Did you know we were?

552
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: I was covering it from studio, so we had a

553
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 5: chance to see everything that was taking place.

554
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: It was Colorado Showcase.

555
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 5: They didn't want to call it the pro Dame because

556
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: they were showcasing their talent, showcasing the talent was going

557
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 5: to make the way to the NFL.

558
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, and Shadoor Sanders was there being showcased. I guess

559
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter as well, and it looked like a lot

560
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 2: of people were there with their jaws dropping out because

561
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: they had teams from the Titans staff and the Titans,

562
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: the Browns, the Giants, the teams picking one, two, and three,

563
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: and obviously those are the three teams that probably need

564
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: a quarterback. So shaud Door Sanders came away and I

565
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: think you're the one that told me this that Brian Callahan,

566
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: coach of the Titans, said that Shoudoor Sanders reminds him

567
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow.

568
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: Right going back into January, he was quoting in an

569
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 5: article that you can find on ESPN dot com, and

570
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 5: he talked about the similarities between Shuduer Sammers and Joe Burrow,

571
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 5: and he basically talked about the aspects of the games

572
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 5: that are similar, and he talked about Shader Sanders being

573
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: a touch, timing and anticipatory thrower much like Joe Burrow's

574
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 5: superpowers are his touch, his time, and his anticipation, his

575
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 5: diagnostic skills. He was saying that with Chadur's skill set,

576
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 5: those guys can see it in a different way without

577
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 5: having what we call the premier talent or the A

578
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 5: plus arm talent and athleticism that's some of the quarterbacks

579
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 5: in the league have.

580
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: And so he's making that comparison, all right.

581
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: So right now, I think that people came away not

582
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: only impressed with Shador Sanders, but even more so with

583
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. And I got to believe with Travis Hunter,

584
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 2: who's going to play both ways and he could very

585
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 2: well play and Dion said this that he could play

586
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: both ways in the NFL.

587
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 4: He may very well be the best player in the draft.

588
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: So do you draft now for these teams like the Titans,

589
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 2: Brown and Giants?

590
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: Do you draft for need? Will you draft for the

591
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: best player in the draft?

592
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: Well, you can't go wrong if you take the best

593
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 3: player in the draft.

594
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 5: That said, you got to have a playing for filling

595
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 5: up your quarterback room. Like, what is the plan if

596
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: you don't take one of the draft, who we're going

597
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 5: to take? Who are we going to get to be

598
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 5: a starting quarterback? Kenny Pickett is only quarterback in the building.

599
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 5: So if you're gonna roll with Kenny Pickett, okay, everyone

600
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 5: has to get comfortable with him being the starting quarterback

601
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 5: or are you waiting for Atlanta to dump Kirk Cousins,

602
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 5: Then you're gonna have a competition between Kirk Cousins and

603
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 5: Kenny Pickett. I mean, maybe that's the case. But even then,

604
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins, the last time we watched him play did

605
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 5: not end well. He was benched in the middle of

606
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 5: the year because he had a stretch where we had

607
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: one touchdown eight interceptions.

608
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's hard to win.

609
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: We'll see if Kevin Stefanski, if he likes Kirk Cousins,

610
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: if he's willing.

611
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: To see if he can turn back the clock.

612
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I don't know if an older

613
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 5: quarterback can bounce back and bounce back at the high level.

614
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: Right, especially with his injuries. Coming off those injuries and

615
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: he didn't have a good year. He really did not

616
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: have a good year in Atlanta, that's for sure. But

617
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: you talk about quarters, and I think that if Shadua

618
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: Standers isn't the number one quarterback taken, probably cam Ward,

619
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: the quarterback for Miami of Florida, is going to be

620
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 2: going and he's probably going to get like a four

621
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: year deal, get about forty mili. I would think, right

622
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: if he is the number one pick in the NFL

623
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: Draft and the draft, believe it or not, it's like

624
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,239
Speaker 2: eighteen days away April of twenty fourth. All right, I

625
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: was ringing up about cam Ward for a second, and

626
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: he says he's going to go without or at least

627
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: till now, he has no traditional agent. Caleb Williams did

628
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 2: it last year when he's picked number one overall by

629
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. So his father said, And this was

630
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: like in USA today. The other day his father said

631
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: that he's still evaluating the agent. Now in the slotting

632
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: scenario in the National Football League, you probably don't need

633
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: an agent. If you're the number one pick, you're going

634
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: to get what slotted to you. Is that correct? So

635
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: what's the point of giving the agent? What does he

636
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: get like three percent of year contract? Why would you

637
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: do that when you're going to get the X amount

638
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: of dollars.

639
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'll say.

640
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 5: This, and I understand and people who like to have

641
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 5: their independence and like to do things on their own.

642
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: But Andy, when you get sick, you go to a doctor.

643
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 5: Right When you have issues with the are as, you

644
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: go and consult an accountant or a tax consultant. When

645
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 5: you need professional help with major issues, you go see

646
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 5: a professional that understands the landscaping can help you navigate that.

647
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: If you're can ward, you're going to be the number

648
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 5: one overall pick. You don't need to scamp it on

649
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 5: a few pennies to avoid representation when a representation can

650
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: help you map out a path to make even more money.

651
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: The way that you approach things, the way that you

652
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 5: do things, and that now if you want to negotiate

653
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 5: on that feed where you don't want to give three

654
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 5: percent or whatever, like, Okay, that's fine, there's some room there.

655
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: But to go without representation, yeah, I think it's a

656
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 5: bad idea because you need to have someone that can

657
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 5: take those hard, hard phone calls, who can advocate for

658
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 5: yourself and put you in a position to make even

659
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 5: more money and you can focus on the business at hand,

660
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 5: which is being the best player that you can be,

661
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 5: being the best teammate, and ultimately helping your team be

662
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 5: the best team that they can be.

663
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 4: How did you pick an agent coming out of college?

664
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: So my agent was.

665
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 5: My roommate was represented by a guy, and I watched

666
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: their plight and the familiarity watching what he did for

667
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 5: my roommate led me to go with him. Now, I'll

668
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 5: say that's not always the best way and unfortunate when

669
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: it comes to athletes and representation. You don't know what

670
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 5: you need until you need it, meaning every agent, every

671
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 5: firm is not the right fit for you. So you

672
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 5: have to have a clear kind of vision for what

673
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: you want from your representative, and sometimes it's a going

674
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: to the big conglomerate and a great agent from that

675
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: big firm. Sometimes it's a mom and pop shop with

676
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: a guy who really can tend to your every need

677
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: because he doesn't have a huge client list. A lot

678
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 5: of it depends on instinct and feel and touch.

679
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: It's a very very.

680
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 5: Difficult decision because you don't really know what they do

681
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 5: until you need them to do it.

682
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: I was tall by various players throughout the years. The

683
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: reason you want to have an agent, there's not so

684
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: much he's to negotiate a good contract for you, which

685
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: you probably will, is the fact that he's going to

686
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: take all the lumps because when you negotiate with a team,

687
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: they will tell you everything you can't do, and you

688
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: don't want to handle it. You don't want to hear

689
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: that stuff. You know you're okay, but you know, we

690
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: don't know what kind of past you are. If you're

691
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: a quarterback, but we don't know if you could run

692
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: the football or you know your experience. Maybe you're not

693
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: too tall, your hands aren't that big. So it's the

694
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: agent that's going to deflect that negativity that you're going

695
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: to have to hear, and you don't want to hear it,

696
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: so let him do it.

697
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 4: Is that correct? That's what I've heard.

698
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there is something to that, Like I

699
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 5: don't know, like in your broadcast career, if you've had representation,

700
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 5: if you had an agent, if you did it on

701
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: your own.

702
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: I've gone about it both ways.

703
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: I started out without representation, so I had to do

704
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 5: everything and I had to listen to those conversations, and

705
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 5: that part is not the hard part.

706
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: The hard part when you're working without representation is.

707
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 5: Finding the next or the new opportunities that are out there.

708
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 5: You don't have your ear to the street, so you

709
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 5: don't know what's about to come around the corner.

710
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: In the industry, your agent.

711
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 5: They're supposed to be up on that to be able

712
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: to guide you in counselor you through these situations while

713
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 5: having an eye towards the future and the way the

714
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: industry is going. There's some value to having someone around

715
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 5: who understands that, who also can have those hard conversations

716
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 5: with management and those things to make sure that you're

717
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 5: treated fairly and compensated to the best that you can

718
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 5: be compensated, giving your status within the team.

719
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: You know.

720
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: According to the NFLPA, out of the more than two

721
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: thousand players right now in the NFL, only twenty nine

722
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: do not have a certified agent to represent them. That's

723
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: an amazing situation. However, Colorado Shuder Sanders, who we started

724
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: talking about here, he doesn't have a certified agent either,

725
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: according to the NFL Players Association.

726
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: Neither does his brother Shiloh.

727
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: So I guess with Coach Prime as their dad, is

728
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: a good opportunity that Coach Prime may do some of

729
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: that negotiation for them. I would think, maybe, I don't

730
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: know what aready have.

731
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: A team in place.

732
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: Remember, he has, like Prime has won the best agents

733
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: when it comes to his off field stuff in constant

734
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 5: sports and her team and as evidenced by the five year,

735
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 5: fifty four million dollars deal that he got, the countless

736
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 5: marketing campaigns. He's been a part of the partnerships that

737
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 5: he set up. He has a solid team around him.

738
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 5: I would expect him to put a solid team around

739
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: his kids to ensure they have a lot of success

740
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 5: on and off the field.

741
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. I would think that the day of

742
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: the agent. I'm not going to say it is waning.

743
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: It's never going to go away, but I think the

744
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: big chain is nil because players are coming into the

745
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: NFL right now with a pocket full of change, which

746
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: they had not done prior. So maybe the look for

747
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: the agent situation is not going to be that great.

748
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong on that, but I think the NIL

749
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: is changing the whole concept of agents.

750
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's changing the whole concept, but it's actually providing

751
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: a pathway.

752
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 3: For agents to get around kids younger.

753
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 5: Now what you're seeing is if I have an agency

754
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: where I represent NFL players, I also have an arm

755
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 5: of that agency that represents college players looking for NIL opportunities.

756
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 5: Now I'm able to get my hooks in the players early.

757
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 5: We're beginning to build the relationships early, and it's not

758
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 5: this mad dash to speed day to see if you

759
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: can get representation before. You know more on both sides,

760
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 5: and so it helps you make these decisions that are

761
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 5: best for you and your family and your opportunities.

762
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: All Right, So you were happy with your agent, that's

763
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 4: for sure. Did you have this agent whole career?

764
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same you got the entire time.

765
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: I can't say that he was without whatever, but I

766
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 5: think now, in looking back, I also know what I

767
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: didn't know and how I could have benefited. So, look,

768
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 5: he was good for me at the time. I think neted.

769
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 5: I know more like who knows what would happen?

770
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. All right, let's talk about

771
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: trying to supply for a second. But Track to Supply

772
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: knows that a winning season takes practice, teamwork, and a

773
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: can do attitude. Thankfully, when you have a neighbor like

774
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: try to supply team where it comes easy, whether you're

775
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: caring for pets, chickens or a few acres.

797
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: asked Bucky. Right now here we go, Ready, Buck, Yep,

798
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: let's do it. Okay, let's talk about women's March Madness.

799
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: They're looking to go fully neutral. That means changing the

800
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 2: location of its first two rounds and first four rounds

801
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: to neutral sites rather than school campuses.

802
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on that.

803
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 5: Man, I'm split, but I will say I like them

804
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: saying on camp because the environment you have a rabbit

805
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 5: fan base that's going to show up all the time.

806
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 5: I think when you go to all neutral sites, you

807
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: order it down a little bit.

808
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: Doesn't have the same festive atmosphere.

809
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 5: I remember the hasd the have nots we've seen traditionally,

810
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 5: they're not a lot of upsets in women's basketball.

811
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. Let's talk football for a second. In

812
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: the NFL, and we know that the NFL probably is

813
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: the most popular sport. I think it is the most

814
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: popular sport in the USFA right now. So the question

815
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: is to have these spring leagues, the USFL, whatever it

816
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: may be. Why can't those leagues capitalize on the success

817
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 2: of the NFL. The ratings are through the roof on

818
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: the NFL, and the ratings are not even half that

819
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: which leagues at the USFL. I don't understand that it's

820
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: the same sport. Why can't they do it?

821
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: I would say that it's been the entire employ of

822
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 5: the marketing. The reason why you can't replicate it is

823
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 5: because twenty four to seven, three sixty five, the NFL

824
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 5: has done a great job of marketing as product. The

825
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 5: other guys have some name cache, but not enough to

826
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 5: sustain it. With the NFL, it's about the team and

827
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 5: about the individual stars.

828
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: With these new leagues, you can't really get.

829
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 5: To know the stars well enough to fall in love

830
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 5: with a new team.

831
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: Is it maybe too much?

832
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: I mean less is more because the seasons start finished,

833
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: super Bowl over end and then you don't want to

834
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 2: start all over again. It's time for a rest and

835
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: move on to something else or the season. Maybe it's

836
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 2: springing summer, it's not football time.

837
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. I can't figure it out.

838
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 8: Yeah.

839
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 3: No, Look, there's a viable market for it. You just

840
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: haven't been able to do it.

841
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 5: The numbers have never reached what the NFL's numbers are,

842
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: and so you have to quit aiming for that. You're

843
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 5: trying to find a good product that works as long

844
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 5: as there's gambling, though, there always been an appetite for it.

845
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 5: You just got to figure out a way to make

846
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 5: the product good enough for the old school purists to

847
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 5: football people to want to check it out.

848
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: There we go.

849
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: Okay, back to the NFL. The nflush push vote seems

850
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: to have been pushed. What do you think? Do you agree?

851
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

852
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 5: I agree because it was silly. If you can't stop

853
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 5: the play, you need to work on it more. This

854
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 5: was nothing that was due to fact, your data, or

855
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 5: health and safety. And this was all an opinion, an

856
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 5: opinion that more people could get hurt, could but we

857
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 5: don't have any proof that they are.

858
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 3: So what are we doing. I'm glad they tabled it.

859
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 3: Hopefully they go away.

860
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

861
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: Basically, I think that the people who voted with about

862
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: the green Bay Packers are others. They couldn't stop it,

863
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: so that's why they want to get rid of it.

864
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: Not a good Absolutely.

865
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: I think it's great. I think it's good for the game.

866
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: I think it's fun.

867
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: It really is all right the NFL again, the NFL

868
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: expands the TV show on HBO Hard Knocks, and they

869
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: got the new pool of teams. Is that a good

870
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 2: move or a bad news move? And I have some

871
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: of the teams that basically are in this pool. If

872
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: you're interested, what do you.

873
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: Think, Yeah, give me some teams. I'll say quickly.

874
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 5: It is a good thing because you saw people that

875
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 5: reacted poorly to the Giant situation the off season Hart Knocks.

876
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 5: You have to expand the pool to eventually get a

877
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 5: team to say, yes, well.

878
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: You know what.

879
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: They may have responded poorly to the Giants, but I

880
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 2: think there was a lot of information out there because

881
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: we saw ownership really didn't want to see Saquon Barkley go.

882
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 4: That was kind of a big news story. So that

883
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 4: wasn't too bad.

884
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. That was a good thing for him.

885
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the teams and you tell me

886
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: ya and A because there's twenty teams that are eligible

887
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: right now in the AFC East, the Bills and the Dolphins.

888
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: M Bills for sure, all right, Dolphins.

889
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: AFCO, me too, AFC North, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers.

890
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 5: Any of those, any of those seems I will be okay.

891
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 5: But raven still has come to the top of the list.

892
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 5: But having watched end season hard knocks with them, I

893
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 5: know they all would represent well.

894
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go down the list quickly now, Colts, Texans, Titans.

895
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nobody from there, Broncos, Chiefs, Broncos. I'll see

896
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: how Son frem is.

897
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 4: A team Commander's Eagles, Giants.

898
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: I'll take Commanders, oh, commanders all day, right, Packers, Vikings, Oh.

899
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 3: Vikings, Kevin O'Connell. See how he goes to work.

900
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: Falcons, Panthers, Cards and Seahawks. That's it, Okay, who's the best?

901
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: BUCkies?

Speaker 2: should be. And Buck, we're going to get into the

913
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 2: kind of a review a little bit of the semi

914
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: finals yesterday in college basketball NCAA setting up the championship

915
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: game for tomorrow night, which would be the Cougars of

916
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: Houston against the Gators of Florida.

917
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you watched.

918
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: It in any surprises in your mind because at Houston game,

919
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 2: trailing by fourteen with about eight and a half minutes

920
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: to go, and they came back the improbable comeback. You know,

921
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: I still believe it was a collapse in the putt

922
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: of Duke. But again, as you said early on, Houston

923
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: made them collapse.

924
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, Houston didn't make them collapse the pressure on them,

925
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 5: I would say the biggest surprise for me was how

926
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 5: bad Houston shot to start. They've been a team that's

927
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 5: been fairly efficient on offense, and to see them really

928
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 5: really stumbled out the gates to me with surprising. But

929
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: the one thing in watching the game It never fully

930
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 5: felt like Duke was in complete control of the game.

931
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 5: It was just a matter of could they get enough

932
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 5: stops in Forest Duke. They have to play at the end,

933
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 5: which is what they were able to do.

934
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the question I have, and I'm sure you

935
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: know you played the game at the highest level you

936
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: were in the National Football League.

937
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: Losing a game like that, what does it do?

938
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 3: Is it?

939
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 4: Kind of to me? It was deze you.

940
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 2: I would rather lose by fifteen twenty twenty five points

941
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: than lose that way, To hold on to a lead,

942
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: lose the lead and lose the game the way they

943
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: did it was kind of, as I say, demoralizing seventeen

944
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: sixty seven. And what does a coach say, Have you

945
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: been involved in a situation like.

946
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 4: That throughout your career? And what does a coach.

947
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 2: Come in and tell a team who basically the coach

948
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: feels like two cents anyway? How does he come in

949
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: there kind of to rally the troops and say, I

950
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 2: love you guys.

951
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: It wasn't that bad. But it was that bad. It

952
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 4: really was.

953
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: Look at me.

954
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 5: I think if you're john Shaw, you use it as

955
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 5: a teaching opportunity.

956
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: You encourage them you thank them for their efforts.

957
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 5: You talk about how those who return will learn from

958
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 5: the opportunity when you get here, and look, you always

959
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 5: give them honest assessment, but I don't think you have

960
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 5: to browbeat them at the time. The kids feel bad

961
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 5: enough knowing that they lost. It was huge implications that

962
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 5: they had a chance to go play for the national

963
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 5: title and they lost, and so they have to live

964
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 5: with that forever, because no matter what happens, they have

965
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 5: to earn it all over again.

966
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 3: They have to earn the right to do it all

967
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 3: over again. There's no easy way to the title, and

968
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: for some of those guys there.

969
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 5: Won't be another opportunity. It is the last chance, and

970
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 5: you know, it just makes it tough. But if you,

971
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 5: John Shire, you take the good moments from the season,

972
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 5: you talk about all the incredible moments along the way

973
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 5: that puts you in position to get to the final four.

974
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 5: The final four should be a bit of a destination.

975
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 5: And so, yeah, it was a good season, just came

976
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 5: up short.

977
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 2: Let's find that. Let's hear directly from the duke coach,

978
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: John Shire. Let's hear from John Hell coach.

979
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 4: What's up.

980
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 9: Well, it's hard to process still and you know, I

981
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 9: thought our guys did an incredible job the whole game,

982
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 9: and you know, I thought we had some good looks,

983
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 9: didn't finish. You have to give Houston a ton of credit.

984
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 9: And then still even with that, you know, we have

985
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 9: the lead with under a minute ago, and I couldn't

986
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 9: be more proud.

987
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not about to hang around.

988
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 9: I mean, this is part of it. You got to

989
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 9: you gotta handle the wins, and you got to handle

990
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 9: the losses too. And in a moment like this, you

991
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 9: know we're this close, and you know we felt we

992
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 9: were the best team. The best team tonight was Houston.

993
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: It amazes me John Shire, coach of the Duke. I mean,

994
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: he's got to be staring at that stat sheet after

995
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: the game because that team started the game shooting one

996
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: for nine. As you mentioned, Buckie, they didn't shoot well

997
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: at all, one for nine, three for fifteen, five to

998
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 2: twenty five from the field, but they outrebounded Duke by eleven.

999
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: They scored nineteen second chance points against the Blue Devils, okay,

1000
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: and they trailed by fourteen with about eleven and a

1001
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: half minutes to go. They held Duke to three points

1002
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: in the final three minutes and Houston shot even worse.

1003
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: They shot thirty seven percent, but they had eighteen offensive

1004
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: rebound set. And that's something you don't coach. I think

1005
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 2: that's something in your heart, in your chest. I mean,

1006
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: you just want to get it. I mean, you can't

1007
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 2: tell a kid how to grab an offensive rebound.

1008
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 4: It's something you want, right.

1009
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean, there's certain things in sports that really can't

1010
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: be coached. It's something that it's a desire.

1011
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, like there's certain things that can be coached.

1012
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 5: And so every day you have to bring the urges

1013
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 5: and energy to get better, and if you do it

1014
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 5: enough and practice, it becomes second nature in the game.

1015
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 5: That's what Kevin Sampson has always harped on, Man, play hard.

1016
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 5: Just focus on playing hard, great attitude and effort. They'll

1017
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 5: fix everything else on the back end. And if you

1018
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 5: play hard, you give terrific effort with a great attitude,

1019
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 5: you're gonna have a chance. And then it comes down

1020
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 5: to making a handful of plays and if you're good enough,

1021
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 5: you'll make it.

1022
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: Kelvin Sampson in the Hall of Fame? Is he a

1023
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame coach?

1024
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: I say yes, yes, yes, without question.

1025
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: And least, but not least, we'll talk about these Hall

1026
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: of Fame coaches. I don't understand why Digger Phillips is

1027
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 2: not in the Hall of Fame coach of Notre Dame.

1028
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I mean, I just I don't

1029
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: understand why he has not gotten in there.

1030
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 4: What he did before he went to Notre Dame, what

1031
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 4: he did to.

1032
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: Fordham was that Fordham can't buy a win right now.

1033
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: He had New York City. What Saint John's and Rick

1034
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: Patino did this year to New York City, That's what

1035
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: Digga Phelps did in nineteen seventy one, seventy two to

1036
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: for them. Really, I mean, and then he goes to

1037
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: Notre damon wins. I know he never won to an

1038
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 2: NCAA title, but him into the final four.

1039
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 4: I don't get it. I don't understand why Digga Phelps

1040
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 4: is not in the Hall of Fame.

1041
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's weird because he has some notable wins going on,

1042
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 5: back to when he knocked off you said, when they

1043
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 5: were the powerhouse.

1044
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 4: Right fifty five game with win streak.

1045
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 5: Yes, he's elevated the game. But being a commentator, he's

1046
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 5: like so many great things. I am shocked that he's

1047
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 5: not included.

1048
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 2: And plus I read this too, he graduated every one

1049
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: of his athletes, which I think is it's a plus.

1050
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: I think that means something. I mean, maybe not to

1051
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame voters, but at least to me,

1052
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: it meant something.

1053
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 4: It really did. We'll see, maybe eventually he'll get in.

1054
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: All right, we'll see.

1055
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: But now we move on to the NFL and the

1056
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. I can't believe it's only eighteen days to go.

1057
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 2: And and really I have to think, although we're talking

1058
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 2: NCAA basketball, I think the NFL Draft is bigger news

1059
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: than the NCAA tournament. I think people go crazy over that.

1060
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: It's not even a sporting event. It's just an event.

1061
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: But people love the NFL Draft.

1062
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: Really.

1063
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be in Green Bay this year.

1064
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: It'll be on TV and you see all these lunatics

1065
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: out there. It'll be like sub zero's weather in Green Bay,

1066
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 2: probably even though it's in April. But people just line

1067
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 2: up and they go to the draft. In cities clamber

1068
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: to have the draft and their city, and economically it

1069
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 2: helps hotels, restaurants, whatever it may be. But I mean,

1070
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: the draft is a big deal. Have if you ever

1071
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: attended the NFL Draft.

1072
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 5: Yes, I have attended the NFL Draft intended back to

1073
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 5: back years in Chicago. I did it one time in

1074
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 5: New York. Great atmosphere, great energy, being in a villain.

1075
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 5: But that's a lot of work, A lot of work.

1076
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 4: I bet it is.

1077
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, but I guess the NFL Draft is a

1078
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: bit because it's the hope for the future for not

1079
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: only fans, but for teams alike. I mean, they pick

1080
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: a play and hopefully that play or players will help

1081
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: them achieve success down the row. So look, we move

1082
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: along and talk about the draft. Bucket Brooks, as always

1083
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: AUTHORANFL dot com, you have the top ten defenders to

1084
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: build the team around, and why.

1085
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 4: Did you pick these guys? In how did you pick

1086
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 4: these guys?

1087
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's one of these things where you're looking

1088
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 5: for foundational pieces, guys that play critical positions in a

1089
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 5: league that is a passing league, and when you think

1090
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 5: about how you want to do it, you want young guys,

1091
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 5: guys who are about to enter their prime so you

1092
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 5: can have them for that three to four year run

1093
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 5: in their prime. And as I prioritize the position, you'll notice,

1094
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 5: like there are a ton of pass rushers on there

1095
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 5: and only a handful of corners. Well, the front end

1096
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 5: impacts the back end far more than the back end

1097
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 5: can impact the front end.

1098
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 3: So if you can.

1099
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 5: Rush the passer, it has a greater effect on the

1100
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 5: quarterback in the passing game than just having a lockdown corner.

1101
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm glad you mentioned that. Rushing the passer

1102
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: and being a sack leader, which the Cincinnati Bengal sack

1103
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 2: leader and he led the league, Troy Henderson, it was

1104
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: not on your list? Was he even considered? And is

1105
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 2: there even a market for this guy? We're going to

1106
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: get into that a little later on today, but I mean,

1107
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: he's got some problems with his contract negotiations with the

1108
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals. But was he on your list or was

1109
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 2: he considered to be on your list?

1110
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 5: He was considered to be on the list, But I

1111
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 5: don't know, Like, when we think about the Cincinnati Bengals

1112
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 5: and who they're built around, it is clear they've bilt

1113
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 5: around Joe Burrow, like that's who it is, and so

1114
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 5: I can't see a scenario where Henderson would ever be

1115
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 5: the guy that you're like, hey, we're just.

1116
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: Gonna build completely around him.

1117
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 5: There has to be a transcendent nature or feel to

1118
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 5: your game that you're like, hey, look, we can't lose him.

1119
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 3: He's hard to replace.

1120
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 5: No disrespect to Trey Henderson, but does a feeling that

1121
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 5: I have it maybe the league has that you can

1122
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 5: find someone to do what he does.

1123
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 3: You know, and he's a really good player, a great player.

1124
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 5: But I think that prevailing sense is the difference between

1125
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 5: him and Miles Garrett arguing for money at the contract table.

1126
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 2: Right, and I think Miles Garrett has done it consistently.

1127
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: I think this was almost a breakout year for Trey Hendrickson.

1128
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 2: Am I correct on that? I mean Trey Hendrickson just

1129
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: almost came out of nowhere. And again, if you were

1130
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: to look at Trey Henderson's stats, and I looked at

1131
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 2: them the other day, he grabs thet he gets the quarterback,

1132
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: you know, he'll sack the quarterback. He's not strong at

1133
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: stopping the run. And against the Ravens this year, against

1134
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles, he didn't have any sacks. So although he

1135
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: led the league in sacks, he didn't do much against

1136
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 2: two good teams Ravens and Eagles.

1137
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I also say this, I think double digit

1138
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 5: sacks in either two or three of the last couple

1139
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 5: of years. He's always at the top of the charts.

1140
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,479
Speaker 5: He's a hard working player. I mean he works hard,

1141
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 5: high motor energy is they're a great technician, mister Miyagi.

1142
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 3: Like with his hands, all those things.

1143
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 5: I think it just comes down to when we're talking

1144
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 5: about franchise, there has to be some prototype or some

1145
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 5: pedigree involved in that for you to say that a

1146
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 5: this is who build around. I think it's hard to

1147
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 5: build around later round picks.

1148
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 4: Right, and again you're right.

1149
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals run out by signing Jim ar

1150
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 2: Chasin and t Higgins. They've told everybody in the league

1151
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: and fans alike that you know, we're an offensive team.

1152
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: You know we're gonna be Our strength is gonna be offense,

1153
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: and we're gonna win games this year like you know,

1154
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: forty five forty That's how They're just gonna outscore opponents.

1155
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: They'll give up points, but they're gonna score more. Hopefully,

1156
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: that's what they want to do, I would think.

1157
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 5: And they should have their capability. It should look like

1158
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 5: the old school Indianapolis Coots. Score early, then have your

1159
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 5: defense preserved to leave. That's how they would ideally like

1160
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 5: to play.

1161
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: All right, now here, here's the bucket Brooks list, and

1162
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 2: hopefully we can get through ten. But I'm gonna start

1163
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 2: with one first. I'm not gonna make it really dramatic

1164
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 2: because some people start with the higher number move down

1165
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: to one. Now, we'll start with number one. And I

1166
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 2: think that there's no surprise here, Michael Parsons, I mean

1167
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 2: from the Dallas Cowboys, who basically right now is looking

1168
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 2: for a contract. And we'll get into that down the

1169
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 2: road too. But you say he's the ultimate front line

1170
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: hybrid force. What does that mean hybrid force?

1171
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 5: Well, he played off ball linebacker. He't come off either edge.

1172
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 5: You just never know where his whereabouts. And because of that,

1173
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 5: and because he's so good at doing so many different things,

1174
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 5: that creates k I said, a lone of scrimmage. He's

1175
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 5: a really talented athletic free you add that with driving, determination,

1176
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 5: motor energy.

1177
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 3: He overwhelms everybody. That's why he's number one on my lists.

1178
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 2: And it's hard to believe he's a fifth year pro already.

1179
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 2: I can't believe that he's been in the pros five

1180
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: years already. It's It's like he was there yesterday. But

1181
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: he's the heck of a player. And I don't even

1182
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 2: understand why. And again we'll get down the road and

1183
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 2: talk about that. Why Dallas is waiting a situation like

1184
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, they could have gotten Jamar Chase a year ago,

1185
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 2: probably for twenty.

1186
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 4: Million dollars less.

1187
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: And it's the same thing in Dallas that could have

1188
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 2: signed Michael Parson's last year. But now the going rates

1189
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 2: up thanks to Miles Garrett, and you know that's gonna

1190
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: be I mean, I guess ownership.

1191
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 4: Why why do they wait?

1192
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the what's the upside of waiting to

1193
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 2: sign a long term contract? They want to see if

1194
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: the guy gets hurt. I mean, what's what's the point.

1195
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 2: I don't get it. You're just gonna end up paying more.

1196
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just got to get you ducks in the row.

1197
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 3: It's a big payment. You know.

1198
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 5: You got to save up, man, like you just don't have,

1199
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, one hundred and sixty million dollars cash to

1200
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 5: just give a weight and you got to put that

1201
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 5: money and escor immediately.

1202
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money to go away.

1203
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 5: You got to scratch up a lot of funds to

1204
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 5: be able to pay for some of these toys and

1205
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 5: trinkets that you want on the team. That's why it

1206
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 5: takes so long. And for Jerry Jones, he has to win.

1207
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 5: He has to feel like he's winning every negotiation. This

1208
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: was one that didn't have a true negotiation, but everyone

1209
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 5: knew what it was and so they just got to

1210
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 5: see if they going to read lent or not.

1211
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: All right, I will say he's gonna be signed. There's

1212
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 2: no doubt in my mind. Dallas is gonna sign him in.

1213
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 2: But you know for what price? Number two and he

1214
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 2: has been signed Miles Garrett and then it's a situation there.

1215
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: You said he didn't want to play for Cleveland and

1216
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: think they're a winner, but the money changed his mind

1217
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 2: rather quickly. It really did so. In other words, if

1218
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 2: Cleveland doesn't go to the playoffs this year, he'll still

1219
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 2: be happy because he got his money.

1220
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 4: Right.

1221
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the direct present makes everything feel better. And

1222
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 5: so he had the big he had a big check.

1223
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 5: He's paid.

1224
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: He changed his tune on Cleveland real quick.

1225
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 5: People ask me what happened the check? The check happened.

1226
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 5: It made her change his mind. And so he's twenty

1227
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 5: nine years always gonna be thirty soon. He's talking about

1228
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 5: Wane to win in Cleveland, and he may do that.

1229
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 5: But now this was about securing the bag. He secured

1230
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 5: the bag with the big deal.

1231
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: Okay, he was the twenty twenty three Defensive Player of

1232
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 2: the Year. He became the youngest player to reach one

1233
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 2: hundred sacks in NFL history. He has over one hundred

1234
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 2: and two right now in twenty twenty four, and he

1235
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 2: has ten plus sacks and seven straight years. What makes

1236
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,479
Speaker 2: this guy so good?

1237
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: Why can he be stopped by other defenses, well by

1238
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 4: on the offensive line.

1239
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I mean, if you know he's coming,

1240
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: why can't you stop him.

1241
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 3: He's a freak athlete. Excuse me.

1242
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 5: He's a freak athlete with unique traits size, athleticism, wiggle,

1243
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 5: can turn speed into power, has developed a few intriguing

1244
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 5: past rush maneuvers that really make him tough to deal with,

1245
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 5: and it puts defenders.

1246
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: On their heels at all times. Look, he's gifted.

1247
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a gifted player with the athleticism and stuff,

1248
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 5: but he also has become a more technically sound playmaker

1249
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 5: as well.

1250
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: Okay, I think maybe I'm mistaken. Is TJ.

1251
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 2: Watt three on your list or no, Yeah, he's up there,

1252
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: so let's go.

1253
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: Let's go with t J. Well, I think you had

1254
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 4: the cornerback from the Broncos too.

1255
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 3: Oh, Passer ten was up there right right. I think

1256
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 3: I think he's three.

1257
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 4: Okay, so you.

1258
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 5: Had Passer ten. Yeah, Passer ten reigning Defensive Player of

1259
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 5: the Year. He makes life easy for Vance Joseph and

1260
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 5: those guys. He can blanket the field. He can do

1261
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 5: using a variety of different techniques. He is under the

1262
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 5: radar guy because he doesn't seek the limelight or the fanfare,

1263
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 5: but he just gets the job done. When I'm thinking

1264
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 5: about building the team, and particularly on defense, I'm thinking

1265
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 5: past rush. I'm trinking an elite corner. He's one of

1266
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 5: the few eliite corners in the league.

1267
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: You know what's funny, you talk about it under the radar.

1268
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: I have to think at this point in time, and

1269
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 2: it's certainly kind of crazy to talk NFL where teams

1270
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 2: will end up next year. But I think that Denver

1271
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 2: Broncos team is under the raidar. I think they're gonna

1272
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: do rather well next year.

1273
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 4: I really do.

1274
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh. Okay, so that's your Super Bowl pick.

1275
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 4: That's well, definitely playoffs.

1276
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 5: And then what we're talking about they made the playoffs

1277
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 5: last year. It sounds like you like we're talking about yeah,

1278
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds like you're ready to go all

1279
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 5: in on them.

1280
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know, all in them.

1281
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 5: You can't say, hey, they're gonna be good and they're

1282
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 5: gonna get back to the same spot where they were.

1283
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 5: But that's a disappointment being a wildcard team being in

1284
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 5: the tournament. So like go bold, like say to your

1285
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 5: super Bowl team, you're dark words.

1286
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 4: Let me wait to lift the draft.

1287
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 2: Let me see what they get, all right, I wait

1288
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 2: to lift the draft because you know, I really, I mean,

1289
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 2: I love the Commanders, but honestly, you know, I worry

1290
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: about how deep they'll go. You know, I think that

1291
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 2: I think they've made major progress, but you just don't know.

1292
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 2: And certainly you got to throw in the injury factor

1293
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 2: because every year someone gets hurt.

1294
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 4: And that's just part of the game, it really is.

1295
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 4: Let's talk about TJ. Watt, all right? What makes him

1296
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 4: so good? You got to now his number four?

1297
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: He says, a great playmaker, one hundred eight career sacks.

1298
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 2: How did I mean the mindset of a guy who

1299
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: plays linebacker or a guy who was just a power rusher.

1300
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: What makes him that good? And you've seen these guys

1301
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 2: in practice for years because you were in the league.

1302
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 2: You know how do they do it? You know what

1303
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: what is the motivation?

1304
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're an offensive player like a Jamar Chase,

1305
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 4: you want to score a tight you know, you want

1306
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 4: to catch the football. I mean, what's the motivation with

1307
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 4: TJ Wat? I just want to go out there every

1308
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 4: week and get the quarterback?

1309
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: Is that it?

1310
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 5: No, it's a little more then just I want to

1311
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 5: go get the quarterback and that's it. I think it's

1312
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 5: a combination of understanding who you are and what athletic

1313
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 5: traits you possess. Is then taking those traits and finding

1314
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 5: a few techniques that work with you.

1315
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 3: Well. It's also about adding effort to your.

1316
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 5: Game, making sure that you are in all day sucker

1317
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 5: when it comes to playing, I'm gonna play from stamp

1318
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 5: to whistle. I'm a line up from stamped the whistle

1319
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 5: over and over and over again, and you're not going

1320
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 5: to see that. I'm overwhelmed. When he takes breaks, I

1321
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 5: would expect him to be more. I mean, a guy

1322
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 5: that can come off the edge and give you speed

1323
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 5: and power.

1324
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: And splash plays. All those things are important.

1325
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 5: And that's why when you go down and you look

1326
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 5: at the stat sheet, the splash plays to pick sixes,

1327
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 5: to force formals, the FuMB recoveries, all those things matter.

1328
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 3: That's what he's up there.

1329
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to run this by because you would

1330
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 2: have the answer. You played the game, and I love

1331
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: to pick your band like this going back to high school,

1332
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 2: college and even the pros. And if you call me

1333
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 2: a dummy, if you want to, because I got to

1334
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 2: believe that every kid, at least in the high school level,

1335
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: they want to play on the offensive side of the football.

1336
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to play defense because there's a it's not

1337
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 2: considered a quote skilled position, and B you know, honestly,

1338
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: there's no fame. There's no fame I'm playing on that

1339
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 2: side of the ball. There really isn't, right, and the

1340
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 2: big money is on the offensive side of the ball.

1341
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: So when you have a choice, I mean, you don't

1342
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: want to play defense, and you're in high school, the

1343
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: coach says, well, I don't want you running back. I'm

1344
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: going to put you as a linebacker. You know, you

1345
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 2: kind of frowned that you want to stay as a

1346
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 2: running back. You want to be a star, right, Isn't

1347
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: that it?

1348
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean it is? It is it?

1349
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 5: But how many people can put ego to the side

1350
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 5: for the betterment of winning and winning at a high level.

1351
00:59:58,720 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 3: It depends on.

1352
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 5: If you want to be legend legendary, can you know,

1353
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 5: be defined in a few different ways. Sometimes it's a

1354
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 5: jersey in the Raptors that's legendary. Other times just key

1355
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 5: contributor on a championship team that's also legendary. It depends

1356
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 5: on what path you would like to take. And I

1357
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 5: just I just think about like what you're talking about,

1358
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 5: Like guys wanted to play offense and defense and all

1359
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 5: this sud this to be a conversation we have to

1360
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 5: have with Travis Hunter. Offense is fascinating because you get

1361
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 5: the glory. You know, it's the glitz and glam of

1362
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 5: being able to put the ball in the paint. Defense

1363
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 5: is harder, no recognition, and the conversation that you typically

1364
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 5: have is always negative.

1365
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: So that's why you grow up in a off time.

1366
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 3: But but based on what.

1367
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 5: Position you play, you get different critiques and different expectations.

1368
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 4: Why did you play in high school.

1369
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 3: I only played offense. In high school.

1370
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 5: There was only one game that I played defense. Coach

1371
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 5: asked me to play defense. We were playing a really

1372
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 5: good player. I played defense for a game, but then

1373
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 5: went right back to playing offense primarily, and didn't play

1374
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 5: defense again until I got to the pros.

1375
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: Okay, but when when you went to college, you were

1376
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: hoping to play offense again, weren't you?

1377
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 3: I played I only played offense. I never played defense.

1378
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 5: I never played defense again from high school, like one

1379
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 5: game in high school on defense to when I got

1380
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 5: to the pros and I was asked to make a

1381
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 5: switch from wide receiver to dB.

1382
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 2: And when they asked you to make the switch, did

1383
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 2: you question, say why I've always played offense? I mean,

1384
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 2: how did that happen?

1385
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 5: I mean it was a long I mean it was

1386
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 5: a long process. I worked out for the Green Bay Packers.

1387
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 5: I can say this. I didn't have the greatest workout.

1388
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:33,479
Speaker 5: When it came to catching the ball.

1389
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 3: TJ.

1390
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 5: Rubley was throwing missiles at me, and I was having

1391
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 5: a tough time snagging it because I had just been

1392
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 5: working out with high school quarterbacks. At the end of

1393
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 5: the workout, Ron wolf Hall of Fame executive asked me

1394
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 5: if I minded doing some defensive back drills because I

1395
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 5: ran really fast, I jumped, I crushed the athletic part

1396
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 5: of it, but the positional part was not up to

1397
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 5: the standard, and so they asked me to do some

1398
01:01:58,280 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 5: dB stuff.

1399
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 3: I hadn't done this up for.

1400
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 5: A while, but it was really easy and comfortable for me,

1401
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 5: and based on that workout, they said, hey, maybe late

1402
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 5: in the year, we'll bring you back and have you

1403
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 5: play defense the following year. And it was tough because

1404
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 5: I had to have the conversation with my dad about

1405
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 5: playing defense.

1406
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 3: I never had it.

1407
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 5: He wanted me to stick with playing wide receiver, but

1408
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 5: ultimately the move to defensive back not only extending my career,

1409
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 5: but he expanded my horizons, which has helped me look

1410
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 5: at the game with a different perspective dan I would

1411
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 5: have had if I was just a one dimensional wide receiver.

1412
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 4: Certainly helped you.

1413
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, when you study the game and talk

1414
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 2: about it and write about it, there's no doubt about that.

1415
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 4: Because you got both sides. I hear it, okay, the

1416
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 4: story of Bucket Brooks.

1417
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,360

1448
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 2: which we haven't done for a while. John Moran plays

1449
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,959
Speaker 2: for the Memphis Grizzlies. He showed off an imaginary gun

1450
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 2: with his fingers. All right, that's what he did, and

1451
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: the NBA came back. They gave him a seventy five

1452
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 2: thousand dollars find.

1453
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 4: The other day, he.

1454
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 2: Used his aiming gun gesture to celebrate making three point

1455
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 2: shots and he was fined, as they said, seventy five

1456
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 2: thousand Friday by the league. Second time this week. Dat Morant,

1457
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 2: who was suspended twice last year for incidence with real weapons,

1458
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 2: he heard from the league about mimicking the act of

1459
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 2: using a gun during the game, and the league said

1460
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 2: the gesture was inappropriate. What's the biggie, I mean, really,

1461
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: how many people really saw it?

1462
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 4: It's fingers?

1463
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, And he says the league's picking

1464
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 2: on him, and I think, you know what, maybe they are.

1465
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1466
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 2: This guy could very well be the face of the NBA.

1467
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 4: He really could. Great player, I get it.

1468
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 2: They told him not to do it, and he came

1469
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 2: back and did it again. Is it that big of

1470
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 2: a deal, Bucket Brooks, I don't think it really is.

1471
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 2: Come on, really, let it go. They got more play

1472
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 2: by the fine than when he actually did the mimicking

1473
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 2: of the with his finger.

1474
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 5: Really, I'll say this like Jah Morant like to me,

1475
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 5: he creates mountains out of molehels.

1476
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 3: They told him a man, get rid of the gun.

1477
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 5: Justin they're trying to take all those out of everything

1478
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 5: sport in the NFL part of the initiative that came

1479
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 5: out of the owner's meetings. They want to up the

1480
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 5: sportsmanship initiative and so taking any of those gun violent

1481
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 5: gestures out of the game. Jah Morant was told early

1482
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 5: in the week, Amen, cut that out, and then.

1483
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 3: He comes back and does it again.

1484
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 5: He absolutely should be finding held to a consequence with

1485
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 5: his dad in the stands, and I would tell his dad, Amen,

1486
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 5: get your kid, like, tell your kid to quit acting up.

1487
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 5: Because the reason why the league wants to take it

1488
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 5: away is there are millions of young people that look

1489
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 5: up to jab Morant, and if Jahn Morant is portraying

1490
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 5: like he's in that life, like he's in gang life,

1491
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 5: people will ultimately follow in his footsteps.

1492
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 3: And so what the league is trying to get him

1493
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 3: to understand that you are a roll bottle.

1494
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 5: Your every look has everything that you do has an

1495
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 5: impact on the people the next generation of people that

1496
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 5: coming behind you, so act accordingly. And he refuses to

1497
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 5: do that, and people think he's like, hey, I don't

1498
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 5: want to play kate to the man.

1499
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 3: I don't want to whatever.

1500
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, we all have bosses,

1501
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 5: and if the bosses said, hey, man, cut that out,

1502
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 5: he needs to cut it out.

1503
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 3: He needs to eliminate it from his repertoire of celebrations.

1504
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 4: I understand what you're saying.

1505
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 2: I agree one thousand percent the fact that he is

1506
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 2: kind of bought and paid for and property of the

1507
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies and represents the Grizzlies as well as the NBA.

1508
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: And if your boss tells you that you must wear

1509
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 2: a shirt and tie to work, then you probably wear

1510
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 2: a shirt and tie, which you know they're extinct right now, ties,

1511
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 2: but you know you got to do what the boss

1512
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: tells you to do.

1513
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 4: Was he's paying you to do that.

1514
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 2: But remember, Moran and other members of the Grizzlies have

1515
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: used that gun gesture many times this year, and they

1516
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 2: did it Thursday night when they played Miami heat. He

1517
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: made a three point shot in the first quarter, and

1518
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: he turns towards a bench at the Memphis bench, his

1519
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 2: arm was fully extended, his left arm, his right thumb

1520
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 2: pointed in the air, index finger, middle fingers pressed together.

1521
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 2: You know, really and truly, I don't even think he

1522
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 2: said or admitted that it was a gun who was like, bang,

1523
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, I hit a three point. That's his I

1524
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,919
Speaker 2: guess signal for a three point. I don't think it's

1525
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 2: that big of a deal, you know, I really don't.

1526
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 2: And they're making a tremendous deal out of it, because yes,

1527
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 2: he's bigger than anybody else on the Memphis Grizzlies who

1528
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 2: they're doing it as well. I don't let him alone.

1529
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 2: Leave him alone. This doesn't do any good for anybody.

1530
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 4: It doesn't.

1531
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 5: Well, let's think about context. He got in trouble with

1532
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 5: weapons and those things. So now what he's doing is

1533
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 5: he's promoting that lifestyle and the last thing the NBA

1534
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 5: wants is your star player promoting their lifestyle. They already

1535
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 5: had to remove him. He was next in line to

1536
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 5: be the face of the franchise, right to face of

1537
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 5: the league, the face of everything, and they had to

1538
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 5: put him to the back of the bus because of

1539
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 5: the way he showed out.

1540
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 3: They would still love.

1541
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 5: For him to eventually be the face, but they got

1542
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 5: to make sure he understands how to carry that responsibility

1543
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 5: without embarrassing the brand. And right now he doesn't show

1544
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 5: the maturity to carry the responsibility. Well, maybe in time

1545
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 5: he can do it, but right now he's not mature

1546
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 5: enough to do it.

1547
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 2: It was a lot worse when he had a twenty

1548
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 2: five game suspension when he had a firearm in his

1549
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 2: car during a livestream video. I mean, you just don't

1550
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 2: do that. I mean that to me, what's the upside?

1551
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: I had a general manager once at the radio station.

1552
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: Always would tell me because I used to do stupid

1553
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: things I still do. He called me in his office,

1554
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 2: say what's the upside? What is the upside?

1555
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 8: Really?

1556
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 4: It's true.

1557
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes you got to say to yourself, what

1558
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 2: is the upside? In twenty twenty three, he was a

1559
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 2: thirty three game suspension and it coursed him eight point

1560
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 2: three million dollars in salary. He'd be better off taking

1561
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 2: an eight point three million and going to the highest

1562
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 2: building in Memphis and.

1563
01:08:58,600 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 4: Throwing it off the roof.

1564
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 2: Eight point if they flush you, get down the toilet.

1565
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,480
Speaker 2: That's what he did with that money.

1566
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's silly, and that's why you wanted

1567
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 5: to make better choices, and hopefully he will grow out

1568
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 5: of it. He needs made better choices. The league is

1569
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 5: counting on him. He has to meet them, have way

1570
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 5: and deliver.

1571
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 2: I just you know, the finger imagination thing. I mean,

1572
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: I'd say it's not I think if he did that

1573
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 2: and he never had the incidents with their live weapons

1574
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 2: on video, they probably would have let it go. And

1575
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 2: the fact that they've told him several times so they

1576
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: gave him opportunities there. But here's the situation with him.

1577
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: He had a firearm while he was in a club

1578
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,839
Speaker 2: in Denver and he was intoxicated. So what he needs

1579
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: is not suspensions. What he needs is not fines. He

1580
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 2: needs treatment, he really does. He needs to talk to

1581
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 2: some a counselor or somebody to say or a psychiatrist,

1582
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: get on the couch and say why are you doing this?

1583
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 2: And what again, that's the upside for your doing this?

1584
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 2: Eight point three you could have fed every homeless person

1585
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 2: in the city of Memphis for eight point three million dollars.

1586
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 5: Well, the bigger thing is he's had therapy and council

1587
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 5: because remember when he was suspended, that was kind of

1588
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 5: part of the conditions to me with people or whatever.

1589
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 5: So as a matter of him putt him into practice.

1590
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's really what it comes down to,

1591
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 5: the discipline every day to do it exactly what you're

1592
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 5: supposed to do, how it's supposed to be done.

1593
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 3: Can't he do that?

1594
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 5: Can he play the game with energy and exuberance without

1595
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 5: exhibiting some of those silly signs like that's the mean

1596
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 5: the dollar question when it comes to John Morant.

1597
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 4: I'm figuring maybe he does it for attention. Maybe he

1598
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 4: thinks that you're thought.

1599
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.

1600
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 5: I'm sure it is all for attention in those things

1601
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 5: like he's getting a player where he doesn't need the

1602
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 5: extra attention.

1603
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 3: But maybe that he doesn't see himself like that.

1604
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

1605
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 2: Now, Look again, I kind of lean on you for

1606
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 2: this information, because again.

1607
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 4: You played the game.

1608
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 2: You had to have played with athletes like this on

1609
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 2: any level that are just a little out of whack,

1610
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 2: just a little out of whack, and they want attention.

1611
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 2: They do things good, better and different biggers. They want

1612
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,799
Speaker 2: people to see them, hear them. But he he doesn't

1613
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 2: need to do that because people see him and what

1614
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: he can accomplish on the basketball court.

1615
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't need to do that.

1616
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 5: Like I mean, it's funny because he's already he's already

1617
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 5: a star status. He doesn't need to prove to anybody

1618
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 5: he's the star. Like he's already been annoyed. He's a

1619
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 5: made man. Now, it's about just doing the silly stuff

1620
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 5: like eliminating that and just you know, when when you

1621
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 5: take on these things, when you take on face of

1622
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 5: the franchise, tape, roles and responsibilities, a lot of it

1623
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 5: is are mature enough to handle it. We always talk

1624
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 5: about quarterbacks on our show, and one of the things

1625
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 5: that we used to talk about is the quarterback should

1626
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 5: have a regalness about him. He should feel like he's

1627
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 5: a president, like he should exude that kind of stuff. Well,

1628
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 5: that's what we want for some of these players like

1629
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 5: to be able to handle themselves and comport themselves in

1630
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 5: that way because that reflect the brand, reflects well on

1631
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 5: the brand, and ultimately everyone's brand has to.

1632
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 4: Matter, right.

1633
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 2: I ain't know when the National Football League teams have

1634
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 2: like a director of a player?

1635
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 4: What right?

1636
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 2: Right did I have that in the NBA? And if so,

1637
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 2: what what do these guys do that they take these

1638
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 2: players under their wing and say, man, you got you

1639
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: got to calm down, you got to just just cool it,

1640
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: you know.

1641
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 5: Really in the NFL like that role can serve a

1642
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 5: few different purposes. You have some of that that you're

1643
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 5: talking about counseling the players. The other thing is helping

1644
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 5: them go back to college and graduate thirteen, is helping

1645
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 5: them finish up and tie opinnion loose ends around town, internships, housing, Uh,

1646
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 5: if your significant other is looking for a job or career,

1647
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 5: like all.

1648
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 3: These things, they kind of help you with all that.

1649
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 5: I'm sure the NBA has some kind of mentoring program

1650
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 5: for the young players that they have come into the league.

1651
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 3: They have to, that's the only way it can work.

1652
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

1653
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 2: I can't fathom giving away eight point three million dollars

1654
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 2: in fines for doing something stupid.

1655
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 4: Really, you know, it hurt me.

1656
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, about two years ago, I got a thing

1657
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: in the mail that I went through, one of those

1658
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 2: z pass things.

1659
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 4: It was a.

1660
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 2: Fine, no, I do it right, and then send me

1661
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 2: a letter. I think I owe two dollars. I mean,

1662
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: I wrote a change in it away. But you just

1663
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 2: don't want to give money away like that. That's what

1664
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 2: you're doing. You work too hard for it. No matter

1665
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 2: what you do in life, you work too hard to

1666
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 2: give it away to the man for something stupid that

1667
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 2: you didn't have to give it away for.

1668
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 4: That's the foe.

1669
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Well that's well, that's the thing.

1670
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 5: Don't do super stuff like just keep it like if

1671
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 5: we were planning to go, just hit in the fairway.

1672
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Like just just just keep it.

1673
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 5: Out of the hazards. And the way that you do

1674
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 5: that is about just keep your nose clean. Do us

1675
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 5: the ass, run on and off to court, limited interaction

1676
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 5: with the folks, and get out of there. Get your money.

1677
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 5: That's all he had to do. That's all he has

1678
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 5: to do.

1679
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 2: You know what, It just it just my head starts

1680
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 2: to spend because I remember, just about about three years ago,

1681
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm driving and The next thing, I know, I look

1682
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 2: on my rearview mirror. I see like these flashing lights.

1683
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 2: Said what the heck did I do? It can't be

1684
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 2: after me, So I kept on going. Next thing, I know,

1685
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 2: he must have called another police call. There were two

1686
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 2: police cars following me. I had to pull over. I said, well,

1687
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 2: what's up? He says, I didn't stop completely to stop signing.

1688
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 2: I said, you gotta be kidding, really right? You know,

1689
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,919
Speaker 2: it cost me one hundred and fifty bucks. It's crazy.

1690
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: I mean, it hurt me. It really ticked me up.

1691
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 4: And I was thinking of going to court because you know,

1692
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 4: you could record it. So I talked to an attorney. Says,

1693
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 4: you have to pay court fees plus to find so

1694
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 4: I said, you know what, forget it.

1695
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 2: I gave him a check and that was the end

1696
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,799
Speaker 2: of it. But it was ridiculous. It was a joke, really,

1697
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I did stop. What am I gonna do?

1698
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: He says that, you know I went through a red light.

1699
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 2: I said, no, no, it was yellow.

1700
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 4: But what are you gonna do?

1701
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,040

Speaker 2: concessions all the time. So this stuff will be fresh.

1797
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 2: The worst thing is when you go to the movie

1798

1842
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 2: know as far as the men's game is concerned. Houston

1843
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 2: beating Duke last night seventy sixty seven. Houston ended the

1844
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 2: game on a nine to nothing run in the last

1845
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 2: thirty three seconds, which is almost unheard of. And there's

1846
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 2: a devastating loss for Duke, no doubt about that. A

1847
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 2: collapse perhaps, but a comeback, a comeback for the Ages,

1848
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 2: no doubt about that either.

1849
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,880

1850
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 5: Showed all kinds of grit, resilience, determination, all those adjectives

1851
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:30,839
Speaker 5: that you want to use to describe a tough, minded,

1852
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 5: hardened team. They were able to do and they made

1853
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 5: it an improbable comeback. They were able to kind of

1854
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 5: put the pressure on Duke. Duke was unable to make

1855
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 5: the plays, but to Houston's credit, they guys who hadn't shut.

1856
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 3: With all night.

1857
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 5: They came through when they needed them. And ultimately that's

1858
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 5: what it's. It's about your best players coming through in

1859
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 5: those key moments.

1860
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, like, you know, it didn't

1861
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 2: really surprise Houston coach Kelvin Sampson because when he was asked, basically,

1862
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, is this like the most improbable win you've

1863
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 2: ever had, maybe in your careers? Now, you know, a

1864
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 2: couple of months was a month ago they played in

1865
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 2: Allen Field House in Kansas. The Cougars came back from

1866
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 2: six points down with ninety one seconds to play, and

1867
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 2: they beat Kansas in Kansas in double over time. So

1868
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 2: basically he's used to it. It didn't bother him. He

1869
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 2: wasn't panicking, and I guess his teammate. I mean, this team,

1870
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 2: it takes a page out of the coach when they

1871
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 2: say players follow with the coaches lead.

1872
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 4: That's basically what they did.

1873
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 2: And they came back back and shot poorly, but they

1874
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,919
Speaker 2: got rebounded Duke, and they had the offensive boards controlled.

1875
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 2: So you know, I still think the better team won.

1876
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 2: I still think that overall, I think Houston is a

1877
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 2: better team because the maturity level. I think it was

1878
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: the maturity and the age factor over the youth of Duke.

1879
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 2: That's what hurt Duke down the stretch that hadn't been

1880
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 2: there before. Houston has been there before.

1881
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, So when I think about like the difference between

1882
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 5: the two teams, I think experience matters. Houston having been

1883
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 5: there before, having played in a bunch of tough, greedy,

1884
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 5: competitive games, they were ready for those moments. You got

1885
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 5: to remember, man, Duke roll through everybody, roll through everybody

1886
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 5: in the ACC by twenty plus points. They didn't have

1887
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 5: to play games of significance down the stretch, So they

1888
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 5: never got comfortable with late game execution, understanding the attention

1889
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 5: to detail.

1890
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 3: That needed to win in these games. All of that,

1891
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 3: they just saw the good.

1892
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 5: So it's it's a harsh lesson to learn, but it's

1893
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 5: one that has served John Shower and John Shire and

1894
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 5: the Duke program well as he goes forward, no.

1895
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 4: Doubt about that.

1896
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 2: And Kelvin Sampson, I win um a seven ninety nine. Boy,

1897
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: would that be great if he get his eight hundred

1898
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: win tomorrow night winning the championship against Florida. But let's

1899
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: take a listen to the coach, Kelvin Sampson of the

1900
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 2: Houston Cougars.

1901
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 6: No one ever uses in anything as long as you

1902
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 6: don't quit, you quit. I don't care that you lost.

1903
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 6: Aren't taking our time outside. We've been here before. It's

1904
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 6: not like we're down twenty. It's not like we were

1905
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 6: playing right. We felt like if we could get it

1906
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,759
Speaker 6: close enough to put some games showing them, that's something

1907
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 6: that could happen. But the credit, the credit, how the

1908
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 6: glory goes to.

1909
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:11,799
Speaker 3: Guy, all the credit to coach. I'm so glassed.

1910
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 4: I get the coach I'll tell you what.

1911
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 2: It sounds like a pretty confident coach. I'm I'm pretty

1912
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 2: happy for him too. But he's been through hell and back.

1913
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 2: He really has in his career and he really has

1914
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 2: a second life with the Houston Cougars. And really I

1915
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: credit usedon for giving him the chance because he was

1916
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 2: like an outlaw in college. He lost his job in

1917
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 2: Indiana and he had to go to the NBA for

1918
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 2: a while, sat on the bench with the Milwaukee Bucks.

1919
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes someone reaches out to you and

1920
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 2: he's carry and you turn around and you get it done.

1921
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 4: And he's a good man and he's a good coach.

1922
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 3: That's good.

1923
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 2: So we'll see tomorrow night. You got Florida, you got Houston.

1924
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 2: And Walter Walter was I mean this this guy in Florida.

1925
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:57,799
Speaker 2: Uh w Walter Clayton junr uh thirty four points. He's amazing.

1926
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 2: I mean I again, I hadn't heard of much until

1927
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 2: last night. I think that he opened up a lot

1928
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 2: of eyes. Walter Clayton Jr.

1929
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 3: Great player, really good player.

1930
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 5: The thing that you have though in this one number

1931
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 5: one team in the game, which would be the Florida Gators,

1932
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 5: Like number one, they've been rolling the last half of

1933
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 5: the season. And then you have Houston, who traditionally their

1934
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 5: defense man, they can lock you up. And I don't

1935
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 5: know if anyone saw the end of the Florida game.

1936
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 5: They had a tough time with pressure. They had a

1937
01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 5: tough time getting the ball up like they held on

1938
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 5: for dear life. It escaped me right now. But number

1939
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 5: fifteen's name, he turned it over two or three times

1940
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 5: in a row.

1941
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 3: The pressure.

1942
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 5: If I'm Houston, I'm starting with that knowing he we

1943
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 5: can tighten the screws on these guys and maybe make

1944
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 5: them have some mistakes and do some of those things.

1945
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 5: To me, man, I feel like this is Houston's time.

1946
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,560
Speaker 5: I love what the Gators have been able to do,

1947
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 5: but look, Houston was on their way to being able

1948
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 5: to do and they had injuries a year or so ago.

1949
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 5: This is a team that is built to do it,

1950
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 5: and I expect them to get it done.

1951
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 3: On Monday.

1952
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 4: You know, you watch Houston play and the way they

1953
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 4: came back and won.

1954
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 2: You know, and I know this sounds ridiculous, but I

1955
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 2: think those guys on Houston, those players, they were ready

1956
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 2: to play Florida last night. After they won, after they

1957
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 2: beat do that. That's how sky high they were.

1958
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 8: Right.

1959
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 2: If Florida would have came out last night after that game,

1960
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 2: they would have played them right there, right.

1961
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, the way it is, the roll the balls out,

1962
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 3: let's go to.

1963
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: Work right exactly right now, today's Yukon is playing South

1964
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 2: Carolina for the women's title three o'clock Eastern time. And

1965
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,519
Speaker 2: here's my theory on the women's NCAA, the women's basketball

1966
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 2: in general. I think men and fans in general, they

1967
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 2: watched the game regardless of who's playing.

1968
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 4: They watched teams, and.

1969
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 2: They watched the matchups. That's what the guys do, all right,

1970
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: That's what people do. Right as far as the women,

1971
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 2: I think the women and people in general watch players.

1972
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,560
Speaker 2: You know, don't watch a Caitlin Clark. They'll watch a

1973
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 2: Page Beckers.

1974
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 4: That's what they do. And I think that's why.

1975
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Dawn Staley was a little upset when she's talking about

1976
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 2: the promotion that Page Beckers is getting for Ukon.

1977
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 4: Well, that's what sells the game.

1978
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:14,960
Speaker 2: I don't think people are going to turn it on

1979
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 2: to say, oh, I want to watch South Carolina play,

1980
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 2: because honestly, most people who turn onto the tube probably

1981
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:23,679
Speaker 2: can't even name three people or two people who play

1982
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 2: for South Carolina, but they're going to turn it on

1983
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 2: with say, well, how good is this page Beckers. That's

1984
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: all I hear about. So I think the women's game,

1985
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 2: and I think they're smart and doing so. They promote

1986
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 2: players and promote stars. That attracts viewership.

1987
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 4: That's what they do.

1988
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, And there's nothing wrong with that. No, there's

1989
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with trying to get eyeballs on it.

1990
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 5: However, you have to sell the game, sell the game

1991
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 5: to get people to watch it, and when they watch it,

1992
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 5: they may fall in love with the game as opposed.

1993
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:52,839
Speaker 3: To the star that was being promoted.

1994
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 5: I understand women have had an issue in terms of

1995
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,719
Speaker 5: like people coming in, the casual coming in in those things,

1996
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 5: and that's going to be some of that. But man,

1997
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 5: you want to invite everybody to come watch the game

1998
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 5: because the game is, the game is amazing, the people

1999
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 5: that are playing, the women that are playing outstanding.

2000
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 3: You want more people to see it.

2001
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 5: And I understand Don's frustrations, but if A helps drive

2002
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 5: some of the interest, then let her drive some of

2003
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 5: the interests.

2004
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 4: Look, I will say this, I'm one of those got

2005
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 4: sucked into it. I really didn't. I'll give you an example.

2006
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,560
Speaker 2: I live in the greatest Cincinnati area and they have

2007
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 2: University of Cincinnati women's basketball, Xavier, Northern Kentucky University three

2008
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Division one teams, they have a Division two team, and

2009
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 2: Thomas Moore University to when they were Division three, they

2010
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 2: win the.

2011
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 4: National title twice.

2012
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 2: All right, maybe I've seen a total I'm on one hand,

2013
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 2: five games in the last five years. But last year

2014
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 2: I drove from where I live near Cincinnati to Bloomington

2015
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 2: and Dianna to see Caitlin Clark. I got sucked in.

2016
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 2: I heard so much about it. I want them to

2017
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: see her in person, so I did.

2018
01:28:58,520 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 4: That's what I did.

2019
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 2: So I think this something to be said about selling

2020
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,759
Speaker 2: the names, selling the so called stars, and I would

2021
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 2: drive to see Page Becker's play or say how good

2022
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 2: she is.

2023
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 4: They say she's better than Caitlin Clark. I want to

2024
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 4: see that.

2025
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 3: That's what it is.

2026
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean different, different style game, but yet she's

2027
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 5: a great player.

2028
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 3: She's a great player in her own right.

2029
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 5: People just need to go back like she was off

2030
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 5: the map a little bit because she got hers, she

2031
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 5: blew her aco, but when she bounced back. It was

2032
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 5: slow and surely, but this year we've seen vintage you

2033
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 5: could come back.

2034
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 3: So I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to it.

2035
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 4: So you get her out, all right.

2036
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 2: Now, let's move over to the NFL, because that's what

2037
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: everybody wants to hear. I guess the NFL and the

2038
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 2: NFL socks leader a year ago plays for the Cincinnati Bengals.

2039
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 2: His name is Trey Hendrickson. He's winning for a new deal,

2040
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 2: all right.

2041
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 4: Why would he be winning for a new deal?

2042
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I mean he's got a contract, but

2043
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 2: I guess he had a good year and he wants

2044
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 2: to get it extended. He's gonna be thirty one years old.

2045
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 2: He wants a long term deal, like it's a two

2046
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:55,560
Speaker 2: year deal. And he says that the Bengals have not

2047
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 2: communicated with his agent. You know why, I'll tell you why, Trey,

2048
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,600
Speaker 2: because he he who talks first the negotiations loses. You

2049
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 2: know that Bucky right and the Bengals have all the cards.

2050
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 2: Why should the Bengals reach out to him? Really, you

2051
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 2: have your agent, Cole not gonna do a make a

2052
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 2: proposal and then you start working at it. I don't

2053
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 2: understand that he wants long term. He's thirty one. I

2054
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 2: guess he saw Jamar Chase and t Higgins getting signed

2055
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 2: that the team, as you mentioned earlier on the team

2056
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 2: is built an offense. They're not built on defense, and

2057
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,839
Speaker 2: I think they could. They have more problems on defense

2058
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 2: than Trey Hendrickson. So if they could sell him and

2059
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 2: trade him, maybe for a couple of draft picks, I

2060
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 2: think they would. I don't know, and you have your

2061
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 2: ear close to the ground. In the NFL. Is there

2062
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 2: a market for Trey Hendrickson? Does anybody want him?

2063
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always a market for people that can take

2064
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 5: the quarterback down. There's always a market. It may not

2065
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 5: be at the price that he wants. So when you

2066
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,680
Speaker 5: make a trade for Drey Henderson, you not only have

2067
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 5: to give him the capitol and the conversation terms of

2068
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:55,839
Speaker 5: the draft, you got to sign him to a new contract.

2069
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 5: If he's asking for wherever it is, thirty five thirty

2070
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 5: six seven million, Yeah, I can see that slowing down

2071
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 5: the marketplace. It just depends on what he's asking for

2072
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 5: and if you can meet him halfway. But he's a

2073
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 5: good player and we can't dismiss his accolades and his accomplishment,

2074
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 5: says a pass rushing specialist. It's just that man, the

2075
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 5: sticker sticker shock. The price tag on that sticker is significant,

2076
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 5: And do you want to get in business with Trey

2077
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 5: Henderson at that price point?

2078
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 4: Right exactly right now.

2079
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 2: The executive vice president of the Cincinnati Bengals, Katie Blackburn,

2080
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 2: who's the daughter of Mike Brown, she was quoted in

2081
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Inquirer the other day and quoting it, says

2082
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 2: it's on him, meaning it's on Trey to be happy

2083
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 2: at some point. This is what he's that she said quote.

2084
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 2: I think some of it is on him to be

2085
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 2: happy at some point. If he's not, you know, that's

2086
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 2: what holds it up sometimes, you know, it takes him

2087
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 2: to say yes to do something.

2088
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 4: So I don't have to show what she meant by

2089
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 4: that trade.

2090
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think she's saying this.

2091
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 5: She's saying, Look, Trey, we put proposals and things on

2092
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 5: the table for you. We put things on the table

2093
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 5: that work within the confines of where we're at. You

2094
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 5: have to make a decision do you want to play

2095
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 5: for us at this number or do you want to

2096
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 5: go elsewhere? But here's where we're at and he appears

2097
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,920
Speaker 5: to be one that likes to go back and forth

2098
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 5: and he's unhappy with the number, and if he signs

2099
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:17,760
Speaker 5: the contract, he's gonna be unhappy with the number and

2100
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 5: maybe act out like a Brandan Nayuk. Ultimately, Trey Henderson

2101
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,680
Speaker 5: has to decide what's most important for him.

2102
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 3: If it's important for him.

2103
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 5: To stay in Cincinnati, he can find a way to

2104
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 5: get them up to the number that's satisfactory. But if

2105
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 5: he wants to go elsewhere, then because he has the

2106
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 5: freedom to seek a trade, go find us a trade

2107
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 5: so we can get this done. I think they're tired

2108
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 5: of hearing about it because it's been a year long

2109
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 5: soap opera with him.

2110
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 2: You know what you need to get on the horn

2111
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 2: of col Trey Hendrickson because Henderson said he after reheard

2112
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 2: those comments from Katie Blackburn, he said he thought those

2113
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 2: comments were confusing, all right, Chris. He says he's been

2114
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 2: talking to the Bengals front office about long term contract

2115
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 2: for several years, all right, So I think you need

2116
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 2: to tell him, hey, look, this is what it's all about.

2117
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 2: And I think that As have made an offer, and

2118
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 2: they probably made a long term deal when I say

2119
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 2: long term, maybe two years, and maybe he wants more,

2120
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 2: maybe he wants three, maybe he wants four.

2121
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 4: Then I got to give him three or four years.

2122
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 4: He's thirty one. It doesn't work out that way.

2123
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,719
Speaker 3: It's it's the money. He wants more bread, he wants

2124
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 3: more money. He wants to be update like Miles Garrett.

2125
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 5: And I understand because he can make a case based

2126
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 5: on his resume the last few years. He's been at

2127
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 5: the top of the business, sack leader, all that.

2128
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,640
Speaker 3: But he's thirty one, and no.

2129
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 5: One's gonna give him Miles Garrett money because no one

2130
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 5: views him right like of Miles Garrett. Your numbers say

2131
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 5: one thing.

2132
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 3: Great. However, when we turn on the tape, you're not

2133
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett exactly right.

2134
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: And I mentioned early on that this NFL team, or

2135
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 2: one NFL team may very well have their biggest loss.

2136
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 2: The biggest loss may be what Katie Brown basically is

2137
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 2: saying right now to the city of Cincinnati, because they

2138
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 2: have negotiations going on, not only with Troy Hendrickson, they

2139
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 2: got negotiations going on for stadium improvement with the city

2140
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,560
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, and now there's some talk of moving like

2141
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,639
Speaker 2: a three first of all, they did this years ago

2142
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 2: when they wanted a new stadium and they had to vote,

2143
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 2: and they voted on I remember they brought all the

2144
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 2: players from the past, just like in the mid nineties

2145
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 2: early nineties. I remember Chris Collinsworth was on the street

2146
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 2: corner with Reggie Williams. They're all out there, You're telling people.

2147
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 4: What to vote for.

2148
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 2: And then the public voted for it for a tax

2149
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,799
Speaker 2: increased and they got the new stadium. Now the stadiums

2150
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 2: are twenty five plus years old. They would either want repair.

2151
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 2: They're not gonna get a new one, but they want

2152
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,799
Speaker 2: repairs to be done in it. So now the threats

2153
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 2: out there again. First of all, they're not gonna move

2154
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 2: because there's ur Modell route out there. Okay, number one?

2155
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 2: Number two, we are you gonna go to? What city

2156
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:39,840
Speaker 2: is available right now? Besides Mexico City. Really think about it.

2157
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 5: What did they do you san Antonio? You think they

2158
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:48,719
Speaker 5: could be the San Antonio Bengals. There's always cities.

2159
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 4: Is San Antonio an option?

2160
01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:50,519
Speaker 3: Really?

2161
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 5: I think I think they're more than enough cities that

2162
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 5: they could find if they want to.

2163
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:58,799
Speaker 3: It's the NFL, and they can find a way to move.

2164
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 4: Them the only city I could think.

2165
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not even thinking of San Antono because

2166
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 2: I think like Houston and Dallas may may oppose to that.

2167
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't maybe in their marketing scheme, I don't know.

2168
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 2: Maybe Portland. Maybe Portland could be a sume. Other than that,

2169
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 2: I can't think of any city in the continental United

2170
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 2: States that could have a team.

2171
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 4: Really, I really can't.

2172
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 5: M I mean, we can't go to Salt Lake City.

2173
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 5: You think I like available cities that Salt Lake City has.

2174
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,720
Speaker 5: They have all the teams, they just got NHL, they

2175
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:35,920
Speaker 5: got the Jazz. You know, why not put a little

2176
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 5: You can put a football team in that Rocky Mountain region.

2177
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:40,599
Speaker 5: They'll mess up to AFC West, but like you can

2178
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 5: put them in there.

2179
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 4: Well, maybe maybe it is a possibility. I don't know.

2180
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 4: I think it's a threat. I don't.

2181
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't think the Brown family wants to leave Cincinnati.

2182
01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 2: They they had their roots here, and I think they

2183
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 2: want to stay here. I don't think they.

2184
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 3: Want to leave, So I don't think they want to leave.

2185
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 5: But I'm saying that there's a viable option if they're

2186
01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,439
Speaker 5: going to push the envelope though, Yeah.

2187
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: We'll see speaking of pushing the alvel what Michael Parsons

2188
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys? What gives you had this guy and

2189
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 2: we talked earlier today as the number one man to

2190
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 2: build your defense around. And Jerry Jones says he's here

2191
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 2: to give him a mega deal, but he says he's

2192
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 2: also bypassed Parsons agent. Is that a good thing that

2193
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 2: he's dealing directly with Michael Parsons himself? Because Jerry Jones,

2194
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 2: and this was in print the other day, he says

2195
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 2: he has had a direct contact doing negotiations with guys

2196
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 2: like Emmitt Smith and Deon Sanders. But Deon Senders was

2197
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 2: represented I think by Eugene Parker at the time, so

2198
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't know when he saw cam about Jerry Jones.

2199
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 2: I think it could be a little Steeniley.

2200
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:41,479
Speaker 5: Here, but maybe because ultimately, remember the agent works for

2201
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 5: the player. So if I go directly to the player

2202
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 5: and I make a very appeal in case to the player, hey,

2203
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 5: here's what we can give you, here's about much money

2204
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 5: I can give you whatever. Well, if it appeals to

2205
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 5: the player to play into the agent like yeah, man,

2206
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 5: I hear what you're saying. You give me a couple

2207
01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 5: more million or whatever, But I like this situation. They're

2208
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 5: trying to apply pressure a few different ways to make

2209
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 5: the agent collapse. Sometimes it works, though, and sometimes I

2210
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 5: am a believer and deliver your own message.

2211
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 3: Don't have your friend do it. You go directly and

2212
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,040
Speaker 3: deliver the message so it's clear.

2213
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 5: There's no misunderstandings, and you're very direct with what it

2214
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 5: is that you want and expect.

2215
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 3: All right.

2216
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 2: So, at the NFL meetings in Palm Beach, Florida the

2217
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 2: other day, Jerry Jones said, this is in print. So

2218
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 2: he's willing to offer a megabucks contract that would make

2219
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons the star Edge Russier the highest paid non

2220
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 2: quarterback in NFL history, with a deal in excess of

2221
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 2: forty million dollars a year.

2222
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 4: All right, what's he waiting for? And why not? He

2223
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 4: could have gone maybe for twenty million last year.

2224
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 3: Crazy, there's a lot of money. There's a lot of money.

2225
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 5: Look, man, it's just some particular it's probably length to deal,

2226
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 5: how it's structured and those things. The Cowboys are never

2227
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 5: hurting for cash. They always can deal with that part

2228
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 5: of it. It's probably just the structure of the deal.

2229
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 5: The Cowboys likely we won't four or five years to

2230
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 5: make sure they can time to the team. Parkers may

2231
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,639
Speaker 5: want to get to the market sooner than that. Maybe

2232
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 5: three years is his number, three years in whatever number

2233
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:18,759
Speaker 5: that is, so he can get another bite at the apple.

2234
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about the Trey Hendrickson's of the

2235
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 2: world and the Michael Parsons. What does that do to

2236
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,800
Speaker 2: a player, especially if you're not signed or you're in

2237
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 2: a signing season. With your play on the field. You've

2238
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 2: seen players, I'm sure and you played with them that

2239
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 2: how it affects them perhaps and their performance? Do they

2240
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 2: play better that they play worse that they think about

2241
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 2: it twenty four to seven? How does that work? I

2242
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 2: mean to me, I'd rather have it locked up before

2243
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 2: I go training camp, no matter good better indifference, get

2244
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 2: my name when the dotted line, get me in two years,

2245
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:51,839
Speaker 2: three years, whatever it is, and I'm ready to play football.

2246
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to have this lingering over my head.

2247
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 5: You're like the majority of the people that are dealing

2248
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 5: with do they want to so they can focus on

2249
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 5: one thing. There's some people who are willing to bet

2250
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 5: on themselves, roll the dice and say, look, man, I

2251
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 5: know I deserve more.

2252
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:07,680
Speaker 3: I'm willing to.

2253
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 5: Continue to push it, push the envelope to see if

2254
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,479
Speaker 5: I can get more. Depends on your comfort level.

2255
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:16,640
Speaker 4: What about you. I guess you want them to have

2256
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 4: it locked up, right.

2257
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:19,960
Speaker 3: I prefer to have it locked up.

2258
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 5: But I've also been willing to bet on myself in

2259
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 5: other areas, whether it comes to like in broadcast media,

2260
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 5: I've been willing to bet on myself and just kind

2261
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 5: of see what it looks like. It's not always great,

2262
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 5: but sometimes you have to be willing to better on

2263
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 5: yourself regardless of what it is.

2264
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 3: When you're in the midst of.

2265
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 5: The negotiation, you have to be able to compartmentalize your

2266
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 5: feelings so you can really kind of keep the main

2267
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 5: thing the main thing, regardless of whatever the money is.

2268
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 5: You got to play well and you got to continue

2269
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 5: to play well. So whatever vehicle or whatever decisions you

2270
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 5: have to make to allow you to have that comfort.

2271
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 3: You have to do that. And ultimately, when it comes

2272
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 3: to contracts, only you know what will make you.

2273
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 5: You can't get caught up in what we call like

2274
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:08,680
Speaker 5: pocket watching, seeing what other people make or people telling me,

2275
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 5: well you should get this. You got to focus on

2276
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 5: what do I need to make me happy, and if

2277
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:15,600
Speaker 5: I sign a deal that makes me happy, you have

2278
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 5: to ignore all the other noise.

2279
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it seems to me what makes one happy

2280
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 2: is getting more than what the guy who plays your

2281
01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 2: position makes.

2282
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 4: That's what makes you happy.

2283
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 3: Really, that's not agent. That's what makes the agent happy.

2284
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 3: It may not necessarily make the player happy. Every player

2285
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 3: doesn't worry about what the other person at the position makes.

2286
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 5: Some players do, but not everyone. Some people do, so

2287
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 5: you got It depends on the person, you know. Like,

2288
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 5: for me, I want enough for me to be good,

2289
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 5: to be comfortable in those things. Now, if you're gonna

2290
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:51,560
Speaker 5: push the envelope and do that, you can do it.

2291
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 3: But those negotiations become harder. Depends on what makes you happy.

2292
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 3: All right.

2293

Speaker 4: All right, we got the blame game coming up in

2324
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 4: about nine ten minutes from now. But did you hear

2325
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,519
Speaker 4: about what's going on in Detroit? Buck? Have you heard

2326
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:36,880
Speaker 4: about that?

2327
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 8: No?

2328
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:39,759
Speaker 4: With the Detroit Pistons.

2329
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, it's unbelieved.

2330
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:44,639
Speaker 4: They're going crazy in Motown.

2331
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:47,719
Speaker 2: One year after finishing with the worst record in the NBA,

2332
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 2: the Detroit Pistons are going to the playoffs for the

2333
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 2: first time since twenty eighteens. Last twenty nineteen, the Pistons

2334
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 2: punched their postseason ticket with a win over the Toronto

2335
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 2: Raptors Forday nine one, seventeen five. And you got to

2336
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 2: give some credit to the first year coach JB. Bickerstaff.

2337
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:07,679
Speaker 2: Coaching does make a difference, you agree, I know it does.

2338
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:12,080
Speaker 3: Makes a difference.

2339
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 5: And I felt like he was wrongly dismissed from Cleveland.

2340
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 5: Thought he did a fantastic job getting the Cleveland Cavaliers

2341
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 5: up and going. Can't argue to the results because Kenny

2342
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 5: Atkinson has taken it and run with it. But what

2343
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:28,000
Speaker 5: JB was able to do with Detroit toughness, physicality, everyone

2344
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:29,679
Speaker 5: playing at a high level level.

2345
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 3: Kate Cunningham absolutely balling. I think his.

2346
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 5: Experience, his experience dealing with underdogs has helped him come

2347
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 5: up with a plan that enables them to kind of

2348
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 5: win and win right away.

2349
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it amazes me because you have a team that

2350
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 4: won fourteen games a year ago.

2351
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 2: New guy comes in basically you got the same roots

2352
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 2: of the team and the guys are basically you know,

2353
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 2: together and saying, well, what is he going to do?

2354
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 4: How's he going to change it?

2355
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:56,599
Speaker 8: Right?

2356
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 7: But he did.

2357
01:43:57,760 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 4: That's a that's a tough haul. You could know only

2358
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 4: and O's in the world.

2359
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 2: You have to know how to get a guy through

2360
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 2: his ears, between the ears, that's the key. And I

2361
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 2: guess BJ bickers though JB. Bickerstaff did it. He knew

2362
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:10,880
Speaker 2: how to do it. You know how to press the

2363
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 2: right buttons. It's not plays. It's all social activity. It's

2364
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 2: all relationships.

2365
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 4: That's what it is. It's not drawing plays on a

2366
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:19,719
Speaker 4: truck board. It really isn't.

2367
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 5: He did a great No, it's not no it's not

2368
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 5: only like the exits and O's. I'll say it's the

2369
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 5: establishment of the word that everyone hates with his culture.

2370
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 3: But what the culture is is the environment creating standards.

2371
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 5: And expectations and make sure those guys live up to

2372
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 5: play up to those standards and expectations every day. It

2373
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 5: can be something as simple as a we've going to

2374
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 5: run back on every misshot. Everyone needs to get back.

2375
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:45,120
Speaker 3: To the paint.

2376
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,640
Speaker 5: We're gonna die for loose walls. There's certain things that

2377
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 5: we're gonna do. We're gonna challenge every shot, but we're

2378
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 5: not going to jump. We're gonna contest with our hands high.

2379
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 5: All of those things that are things that you know

2380
01:44:56,760 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 5: are conducive to winning. You begin to stab, dolish those habits,

2381
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:03,920
Speaker 5: and what you hope is in time, as they began

2382
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 5: to embrace those habits, the results naturally change on the floor.

2383
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 5: But you got to create the habits, and you got

2384
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 5: to create the habits without looking at the scoreboard, because

2385
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 5: you know, if the habits are good, eventually the winds

2386
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 5: that come their byproduct of doing things the right way.

2387
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 4: You know what's going nuts in Detroit right now?

2388
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 2: Is there a PA announcer I listened to him in

2389
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 2: the morning on Serious XM seventy four.

2390
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 4: Mason in the morning, he said, he's on the I

2391
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 4: don't know if you heard. Have you listened to him

2392
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 4: in the great.

2393
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 3: Listen him in the morning. But I know who you're

2394
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 3: talking about.

2395
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 4: Oh you know him? I mean you've met the guy.

2396
01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I've never met him.

2397
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 4: I wrote him.

2398
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 2: He hasn't been me back. But I listed him in

2399
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 2: the morning on Serious XM. And he does the PA

2400
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 2: for the Detroit Pistons. He's great, He's unbelievable in the morning.

2401
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 4: He really is. I love him, I really do, Mason.

2402
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna write him again, so we'll see.

2403
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 3: All right.

2404
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 2: So we talk about how to promote a team, all right?

2405
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 2: And I think major League Baseball is onto something right

2406
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:59,320
Speaker 2: now with this torpedo bat. It's not a big promotion,

2407
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 2: but a lot of people of buzzing up out of

2408
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 2: talking about it, and the Yankees have really taking advantage

2409
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 2: of it because Aaron Judge is going nuts hitting home

2410
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 2: runs the torpedo bat. The design moves more mass to

2411
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 2: the sweet spot of the barrel, closer to the handle,

2412
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:14,320
Speaker 2: whatever the heck that means. But I guess it's working.

2413
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 2: There's more meat there and the ball is going out

2414
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 2: of the ballpark, and that's what people want to see.

2415
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 4: They want to see home runs and it's working right now. Oh,

2416
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 4: so good for them. Good for the torpedo bat. I'm

2417
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 4: glad they didn't find it illegal. That's what I'm happy about,

2418
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 4: all right. I mean, like, the torpedo bat is interesting

2419
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 4: because you're talking about moving. Basically, what you're doing is

2420
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 4: you're moving the sweet spot to.

2421
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:37,840
Speaker 3: The place that the batter normally hits it.

2422
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 5: So taking all the analytics, all the data and beefing

2423
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 5: up the area where the player normally strikes the ball

2424
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 5: makes a lot of sense. Now people laugh because the

2425
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 5: bat looks funny. It's not quite a fun go bat,

2426
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 5: but it looks it looks a little weird. It looks

2427
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 5: almost like a softball, a softball bat that's designed to

2428
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 5: hit big home runs. But it's been the rule, so

2429
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 5: I'm okay.

2430
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 4: With it, all right.

2431
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:05,720
Speaker 2: So we talked about how to promote a team. I'm

2432
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna let you relax right now, because I

2433
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 2: got a stack of promotions in baseball that have been

2434
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 2: going on or have gone already this year.

2435
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 4: Are you ready to hear this is great?

2436
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 3: Love it.

2437
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 2: The Chicago White Sox had a weather day recently, which

2438
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:24,600
Speaker 2: featured meteorological education. The game drew just twelve thousand spectators.

2439
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 2: The White Sox lost to the Twins. You can't give

2440
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 2: it away in Chicago's They're terrible. They lost ten to five. Okay,

2441
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:32,679
Speaker 2: but this is more Okay. April the eighteenth of this year,

2442
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:37,599
Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox will have a Grateful Dead sixtieth

2443
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 2: Anniversary Night and Pharmacist Appreciation Night on the same night.

2444
01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:42,560
Speaker 4: How do you like that?

2445
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 2: That's great? So you can take your drugs and listen

2446
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 2: to the Grateful Dead at the same time on the

2447
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 2: same night.

2448
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 4: All right, I love that.

2449
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 3: I mean that's very cool.

2450
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 2: Last night last year, the Miami Marlins was sued by

2451
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:59,559
Speaker 2: a woman who says she slipped on dog urine during

2452
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,879
Speaker 2: the tea means bark at the park night in Miami,

2453
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 2: and you know, barking the park, the kids are on

2454
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 2: the bases and have all that stuff over there. I

2455
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 2: guess you know what, you know, you want to make

2456
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 2: a little money over there. I guess the team's gonna

2457
01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 2: have to pay out right now because she said she's

2458
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 2: slipped on urine. I thought that if you step on

2459
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 2: you and you get stuck in it, you don't slip

2460
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 2: on it. It's it's sticky.

2461
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:19,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2462
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 2: I've never stepped in urine. I don't think at least

2463
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 2: I didn't do it intentionally, that's for sure. All right,

2464
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:28,479
Speaker 2: here's another one for you. Uh you know monorin League

2465
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 2: Baseball does it all.

2466
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 3: It's great.

2467
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 2: Monta Leagues are the major leagues of promotional creativity. On

2468
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 2: September first of this year, the Lake Elsinore Storm, I

2469
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:39,240
Speaker 2: don't even know what league they're in, but the Lake

2470
01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 2: Elzino Storm, they're gonna hold an awful night when, according

2471
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 2: to m i LB dot com, whatever can go wrong

2472
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:48,719
Speaker 2: will go wrong.

2473
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 4: So be prepared for the best worst time of your life.

2474
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 4: Awful night. Crazy.

2475
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 2: But this is the stuff that gets people in ballparks

2476
01:48:56,680 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 2: and you know, have people talk about things and stuff

2477
01:48:59,520 --> 01:48:59,680
Speaker 2: like that.

2478
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:00,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's fun.

2479
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 2: I love that stuff. So that's what they do, barking

2480
01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 2: the park events. That's pretty big. They do it at

2481
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 2: NORLA ballparks. I don't understand how they clean up the

2482
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 2: mess after that. And I guess the woman in Miami

2483
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:13,679
Speaker 2: fel and slipped on the urine. So it's gonna sue

2484
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:14,559
Speaker 2: the Miami Marlins.

2485
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 3: That's great.

2486
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 2: So you know they don't do that in the NFL.

2487
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 2: Buck you know, you don't have to do that. People

2488
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 2: come anyway. You have to promote those games like that.

2489
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 2: Modnor League Baseball they do it, and some major league

2490
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:28,360
Speaker 2: teams do it as well. So different, but on college.

2491
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 3: Too, I think, yeah, really different, real different.

2492
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:34,639
Speaker 2: The game is the game is the key in the NFL,

2493
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 2: not in modern league baseball. They don't know who the

2494
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 2: players are. They've got to have a good time. That's

2495
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 2: exactly what they do. So that's basically a promotional thing

2496
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 2: of it. So who knows, you know, and people have

2497
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,759
Speaker 2: gone extreme, and I guess the key, the key promoter

2498
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 2: of all time, I guess is Bill Veck. I think

2499
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 2: the White Sox are going to aren't a Bill Veck

2500
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 2: later this year, the late Bill Veck. They're going to

2501
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:58,559
Speaker 2: have a night for him. I think the club's one

2502
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty fifth anniversary. The Chicago White Sox.

2503
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:06,519
Speaker 4: Their history includes three World Series titles, the Black Sox

2504
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 4: Scandal of nineteen nineteen, and of course Bill Veck and

2505
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 4: Bill Veck owned the White Sox from nineteen fifty nine

2506
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:14,640
Speaker 4: to sixty one, and then he owned it again from

2507
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 4: seventy five to nineteen eighty. One of my idols in

2508
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 4: life Bill Veck, So what are you gonna do?

2509
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 3: And then you're I know, I bet it.

2510
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 2: One time when I lived in Florida and they were

2511
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 2: having a game against the Yankees and Fort Layda Dale

2512
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 2: spring training. I walked over to introduced myself and he

2513
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 2: was smoking a cigarette and he put it out of

2514
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 2: his ashtray and his wooden leg. He had an ashtray

2515
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:36,560
Speaker 2: attached to his wooden leg. He lost his leg in

2516
01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:39,400
Speaker 2: the war. So that was That was my Bill Veck story.

2517
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 2: There you go, any good stories with you give me

2518
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 2: a good story there both.

2519
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 5: So I don't really have a great story when it

2520
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 5: comes to any of those things. I feel like I

2521
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 5: emptied the bucket with my stories. When I told you

2522
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 5: about making a move to defensive back, I think I

2523
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 5: need to ponder a little bit.

2524
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:58,400
Speaker 3: You give me three him in So I don't I

2525
01:50:58,400 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 3: have a great story. I wish I had a great

2526
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 3: story for you.

2527
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 2: Oh you've got great stories. What about a story about

2528
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 2: a teammate? A teammate you played with some looms because

2529
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: I know there was a story that someone told me

2530
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 2: about the Cincinnati Bengals. I can't recall this name, but

2531
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even mention it because I don't embarrass him

2532
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 2: because I asked him one time in the locker room.

2533
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 2: One of the players asked him, why do you always shower?

2534
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned this to you once, Why do

2535
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 2: you shower before practice? And he said, I do it

2536
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 2: so enough? The shower after practice, that's.

2537
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 5: All okay, Yeah, let's see. I don't know what we're

2538
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 5: like like like for me, like the showering before practice

2539
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,120
Speaker 5: thing was funny because I am one that takes a

2540
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 5: shower before games. Really got warm up, cut me in,

2541
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:39,839
Speaker 5: take a shower before the game, put on the uniform,

2542
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 5: didn't go play.

2543
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 3: That was always kind of a thing and continue to

2544
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 3: be a thing. I don't know.

2545
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:47,439
Speaker 5: There's something about the shower that not only wakes you

2546
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 5: up and perks you up, but I don't know. I

2547
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:51,360
Speaker 5: kind of want to feel fresh and clean. That was

2548
01:51:51,439 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 5: one thing. And then I always like for game they choose,

2549
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 5: I only wore my the clease on game day. Only

2550
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:03,760
Speaker 5: on game day, like I would break them in. But

2551
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 5: because I always wanted my shoes to be either super

2552
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 5: crispy white or whatever color that we had if they

2553
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 5: were black or whatever. So I had a different set

2554
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:15,280
Speaker 5: of shoes that were practicing, but on game day these

2555
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 5: are my game day shoes. And I was just really

2556
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,839
Speaker 5: fanatical about being super clean and super crispy white because

2557
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:26,080
Speaker 5: I felt like it looked the part and the last.

2558
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 3: Thing that would be a little bit of a weirdo thing.

2559
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:31,879
Speaker 5: Because as a kid, whenever I looked at NFL football,

2560
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 5: I always saw players wearing eye black, like the two

2561
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 5: strips of black right up on the decrease type that

2562
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 5: was smeared up under. So I could only play with

2563
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 5: eye black, whether it's a day game or night game.

2564
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 5: I had to put eye black on because I felt

2565
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:51,679
Speaker 5: like that made me the quote unquote tough football player.

2566
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 2: Is that why they wear or does it really help

2567
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 2: you with with sun? I mean I wanted to wear

2568
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,000
Speaker 2: it at night. If you wear it for sun, right.

2569
01:53:01,160 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't know. I wear

2570
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,600
Speaker 3: it because it's a part of the lug. Maybe it

2571
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 3: helps with the sun. I don't know. I just saw

2572
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 3: everybody do it.

2573
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 5: It's very similar to I got in trouble as a

2574
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 5: kid one time, Fred Bolitnikov would have stick him everywhere,

2575
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 5: and one of my first little league games, I put

2576
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 5: stick them on my socks like bulitnikoff, where I didn't

2577
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 5: know that when my mom watched my socks that the

2578
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 5: sticker wouldn't come out.

2579
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 3: She wasn't really happy about having stick them on my

2580
01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 3: little socks. But yeah, so you know, you mimic what

2581
01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 3: you see.

2582
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 2: What about a lucky number that you wanted to wear

2583
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,439
Speaker 2: high school, college pro I wore twenty two.

2584
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,719
Speaker 5: I wore twenty two for most of my time coming

2585
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:50,759
Speaker 5: up because twenty two my birthday is the twenty second

2586
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 5: of January. My dad's number was twenty two, so I

2587
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 5: always wore twenty two.

2588
01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was number. That was number always.

2589
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 4: Would you have paid for number twenty two?

2590
01:54:02,240 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 2: Because I see some of these athletes will give up

2591
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:06,400
Speaker 2: big money to other players on the team for their number.

2592
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 4: Would you have done that?

2593
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 3: I mean it means a lot, doesn't mean that much

2594
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:12,680
Speaker 3: to me. I'm not gonna be significant sums. I can

2595
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 3: find another number to get it to make work. I'll

2596
01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 3: figure it out. But yeah, I'm not paying like with

2597
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:22,200
Speaker 3: some of these guys pay. Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen.

2598

Speaker 10: Hey it's early morning, My bad.

2634
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 8: I'm not a money guy anyways, for the fake finger

2635
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 8: gun by the NBA after being warned twice.

2636
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 10: Is he being picked on?

2637
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 1: Or is it bad?

2638
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 3: Who do you blame?

2639
01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 10: Mandy?

2640
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 2: I blame the National Basketball So if very easy to

2641
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 2: blame John Moran, okay, because he was worn several times.

2642
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 2: But there are all the guys on that team doing

2643
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:25,360
Speaker 2: the same thing. And the fact that he had a

2644
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 2: loaded weapon on video several years ago and was suspended.

2645
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 2: They are picking on him. Leave him alone, and they're

2646
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:36,000
Speaker 2: finding him out. The Wazu eight million dollars plus suspensions.

2647
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 4: Leave him alone. He's being picked on. So I blame

2648
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 4: the league.

2649
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:40,240
Speaker 7: Let it go.

2650
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 3: Give him some help, yes, plea your help. I blame him.

2651
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 3: They told him, hey man, quit shooting the gun, the

2652
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 3: fake gun on the basketball court. He made a decision

2653
01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 3: to do it. That's on him.

2654
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:54,440
Speaker 5: Jamaran has quit being a ding dong, like, just quit

2655
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:56,320
Speaker 5: doing that stuff. They've asked you about it, they told

2656
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:57,480
Speaker 5: you about it. They want you to be the face

2657
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,120
Speaker 5: of the league right now. He's messing with the bad.

2658
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 10: All right. Well, guys, I like that Bucky ding dongal

2659
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 10: it's funny. But let's move on. So college basketball goes there, goes.

2660
01:57:14,320 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 10: I'm never gonna get that anyway, He's wi.

2661
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 8: So college basketball has the NCAA Tournament, the nit in

2662
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 8: the crown too many?

2663
01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 10: If so, who do you blame Bucky Brooks?

2664
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, because I don't know who created a crown.

2665
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 5: I mean, the crown is nice, but there's a payoff there.

2666
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:35,880
Speaker 5: It's a lot of basketball. We already are kind of

2667
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 5: like ify on college basketball. It seems like it's too much.

2668
01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 5: I didn't even know. The nit concluded that's how much

2669
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 5: basketball has been going on. So I just kind of

2670
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 5: blamed the state of affairs too much basketball, too much.

2671
01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:51,160
Speaker 4: You can't get enough basketball. It's great.

2672
01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:53,920
Speaker 2: The only thing that bothers me is got you teams

2673
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 2: that have losing records are competing with some of these events,

2674
01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 2: which I think is ridiculous. I mean, you have to

2675
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:01,600
Speaker 2: earn it, and so of these teams aren't earning it.

2676
01:58:01,640 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 2: They're just there on name only. But you know why,

2677
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 2: I love basketball. Let him play, keep on playing. You

2678
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:09,840
Speaker 2: know why, what's the alternative going to class? You know

2679
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 2: we're going to class. Play basketball.

2680
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 8: Well, speaking of playing basketball, we got the Yukon women's

2681
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 8: basketball basketball actually a page Buker's was projected to be

2682
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 8: the number one pick in the w NBA draft and

2683
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,760
Speaker 8: now getting more hype than Caitlyn Clark did.

2684
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 10: Why and hoo do you you blame Andy?

2685
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, I blame the game itself. Be goes.

2686
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 2: I think that's the way they sell women's basketball right now.

2687
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 2: You got to sell the stars. You gotta sell the names,

2688
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 2: and the names basically draw you. When they suck you

2689
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,280
Speaker 2: in like Caitlin Clark did, and all of a sudden,

2690
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:42,560
Speaker 2: you become a user.

2691
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 4: You become a user what does that mean.

2692
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 2: You've become a fan and you start watching it, so

2693
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 2: you want to see page Becker sye how good she is,

2694
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 2: and then you'll keep on watching the game itself.

2695
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:52,520
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

2696
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, she's a great player.

2697
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 5: She's a great player, and people are just kind of

2698
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:02,600
Speaker 5: reacquainting themselves with her. But she's talented, she's terrific, and

2699
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:04,120
Speaker 5: this would be an opportunity for us to.

2700
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 3: See her on the main stage. Never won a Natty,

2701
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:10,000
Speaker 3: so she's gonna go hard. I'm sure, all right?

2702
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 8: Final blame here, guys. The number eight has been well

2703
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 8: known among many athletes and sports so Baltimore Ravens star

2704
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson has taken that number to another level. His

2705
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:25,680
Speaker 8: attorney filed a notice of opposition with the Patent and

2706
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 8: Trademark Office against NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhard Junior

2707
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 8: for a pending trademark claim by JR Motorsports. That's his

2708
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:39,480
Speaker 8: Earnhart's a team because over the style uses of number eight.

2709
01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 10: Who do you blame here?

2710
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 8: Jackson's notice of opposition is the number style that is

2711
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 8: in a different fund. He says it conflicts with his brand,

2712
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 8: the Era eight brand. Who do you blame Rocky Brooks.

2713
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. It seems like a live man. I

2714
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:55,160
Speaker 3: don't know how you can claim a number like I

2715
01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 3: think they need to figure out this outlight because.

2716
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 5: Everyone has their favorite number. I don't know why they

2717
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:01,400
Speaker 5: in court talking about the number. It's kind of weird

2718
02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 5: to me. I'm laying Lamar Jackson his crew for bringing

2719
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 5: it up.

2720
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:06,320
Speaker 4: I hate to agree with Bucket Books, but Lamar, you

2721
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:07,440
Speaker 4: got more things on your plate.

2722
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean really, I mean, you got too much free

2723
02:00:09,360 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 2: time on your hand here worrying about your number.

2724
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Let it go.

2725
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,480
Speaker 2: When people see number eight, they know it's you, they

2726
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:18,200
Speaker 2: really do. And with that we say, have a great day,

2727
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 2: have a great week. We'll see you next Sunday, right

2728
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:22,000
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio.
