Speaker 2: is a radio show that becomes a podcast. We take

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: a quantum leap and now it's a podcast. Yeah, it's amazing.

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,159

12

Speaker 2: window for NFL teams trading draft picks five years out.

00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,199

15

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: quarterback who was not all that good in the playoffs,

66
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: There you go.

67
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: Our lead this hour is from the negotiating table. I

68
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: thought this was interesting. Oh yeah, it's my I've editorial control.

69
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: I can decide what I want to talk about. So

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard this or not. Maybe

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: not that we've learned the NFL is laying the groundwork

72
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: for replacement officials. Now I know we're sitting here in March,

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: and we've got months and months to go, and all

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: this stuff that the NFL is preparing under the guys

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: that they will be unable to agree to a new

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: contract with the NFL Referees Association, And so the NFL

77
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: is scouring trying to find a bunch of small college officials.

78
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: We're talking like junior college, low level football people. They're

79
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: going over one story said one hundred and fifty about

80
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: one hundred.

81
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: And fifty low level officials.

82
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: And they're going to contact them and say, hey, would

83
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: you like to be an NFL official, And we have

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: something for you in April, and there's a clinic there

85
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: in May, and outside of an agreement and doesn't look

86
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: like they're close to any kind of agreement with the referees,

87
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: this would continue. They would train during the summer and

88
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: make visits to different NFL teams training camps before the

89
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: regular season begins, and so this tossed out into the

90
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: air everywhere. So it's a good jumping off with let

91
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: us discuss the question what message, what message is the

92
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: NFL sending by leaking obviously came from the NFL, not

93
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: the referee Association. What message is the NFL sending by

94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: leaking that they are preparing for scab officials? So my

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: thoughts on this, I've got Mexican drug Lord, MX, black

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Card and fruit of the loom, and we will combine

97
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: all of these things together and we are going to

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: come to blows.

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: But not a body blow. No body blow, no, no,

100
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: no a.

101
00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: This was clearly leaked strategically to the preferred ed NFL

102
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: insider crowd, handed.

103
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: Down like the soup of the day.

104
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that the NFL is calling

105
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: these guys who are officials in the backwoods and saying.

106
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: Hey, how would you like to be an NFL referee?

107
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: These guys probably think they're getting punked like they're getting

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: calls these small town referees out in the boondocks, and

109
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: the this is this is joe blow from the NFL.

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: How would you like to be a referee. But I

111
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: don't know that I want to be a referee. I

112
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: don't know what I want to be a referee. But

113
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: this is it's obviously the leverage, right, It's pure uncut leverage.

114
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: The message is take our deal or the NFL said

115
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: either take the deal or we're going to uber in

116
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: some fresh herd of zebras and we'll just toss them

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 2: out there and no one will know the thing about

118
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: this which stands out the NFL at this point, with

119
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: all of the different TV deals, the NFL has all

120
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: of that. The NFL has become like a Mexican drug lord.

121
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: They have so much money they don't know what to

122
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: do with it, Like they're burying it.

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: I think the Jacksonville just buried some money because they

124
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do with it. I bury some money.

125
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: And yet on this one they're like, well, we're going

126
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: to draw a wine in the sand here and that's it.

127
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: We're not going to pay the money. We're not going

128
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: to give the referees the rays that they want. He said,

129
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: well why not? And the only reason I could come

130
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: up for that that popped in mid is because they

131
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: don't have to.

132
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: That's it.

133
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: That perception is reality, and the perception is that the

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: NFL officials are a bunch of dingleberries and they don't

135
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: know what they're doing their Mama Luke's And so the

136
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: NFL owners know that, and now they're weaponizing this. They

137
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: know that the rank and file, the customers, better known

138
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: by their gangster named fans, are not going to defend

139
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: the referees. Right generally speaking, the referee is just following

140
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: what Park Avenue tells them to do. Right, So I'm

141
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: all going to decide this week we're gonna call holding.

142
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Next week we're not gonna call holding, and we'll call

143
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: something else. And so therefore you are easily replaced and

144
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: easily blamed in the blame game, your disposable labor with whistles.

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: And this is not about improving officiating and not worried

146
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: about that and not they like having They like having

147
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: imperfection because it's good for business, it's good for conversation,

148
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: and it just is and it doesn't really affect all

149
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: that much in the end. So why pay extra for

150
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: competence if you think you're just gonna get more incompetence.

151
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: So it's like, why why would we pay more? You know,

152
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: I just get on the soapbox and say, well, don't not.

153
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 2: If we pay you this much or that much, you

154
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: still suck.

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: All right.

156
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: Now, turn the page to the rules of the game.

157
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: You know we love the rules of the game. Yes, absolutely,

158
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: So I read that the Cleveland Browns. That's a I

159
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: think that's something you put in a toilet a couple

160
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: of times a day and you flush it. Either that

161
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: or it's a football team. So the Browns have submitted

162
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: a rule. There's sounded the Browns right there at work.

163
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: So the brown submitted a rule that would allow teams

164
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 2: to trade draft picks five years out. Currently, you are

165
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: only allowed to trade draft picks three years out, and

166
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: under this plan, it would be five years. So you'd

167
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: add a couple of extra years to unload draft picks

168
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: now immediately. Immediately, the theory was, well, the Browns want

169
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: this because they're preparing to trade Miles Garrett and they

170
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: want to get more picks, and so they'd like to

171
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: get picks down the road, and so they'll just whistle

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: into the dark there and try to get those extra picks,

173
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: and they'll change the rule and then they'll be good

174
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: to go and all that all right, So the question

175
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: extending the window for NFL teams trading picks to five

176
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: years out, do you love it or list it?

177
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: You love it or listen? So I love it? I

178
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: love it.

179
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: This is the NFL g giving the front offices, the gms,

180
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: the nerds, all of them an Amex black card with

181
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: no limit and no billing address. It enables larger, blockbuster trades.

182
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: It should enable bigger trades.

183
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: In the NFL.

184
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: If you're a team that's on the brink of winning

185
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: and you're in that contender, you're a top contender.

186
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: You're not the champ.

187
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: You're not to champ your top contender for a Super Bowl.

188
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: This would allow you a little more room to aggressively

189
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: go out and get that star receiver that you gotta

190
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: get at that defensive end that you need to have

191
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: to complete the thing. And it would increase not only

192
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: mid season trades, but also off season trades. And that's exciting.

193
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: Who doesn't like a good trade, a nice, juicy trade.

194
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that doesn't.

195
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: Maybe closer to what the NBA, the NBA has a

196
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: lot of trades, you have not as many as they

197
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: used to because they they fetched around with a salary cap.

198
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: We can rhapsodize about that if you want, and so

199
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: there's less ways to move players, but there's still a lot.

200
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Of trades compared to football. Now.

201
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: The counter argument, the counter argument for this is that,

202
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: oh no.

203
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: It's you've got to protect the dummies.

204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: Is essentially the counter argument that teams would over extend

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: and they would trade away all their draft picks and

206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: they would lock themselves in to the dungeon. They'd be

207
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: in the dungeon. They'd have no chance. They wouldn't even

208
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: be mediocre. They'd be irrelevant. That would be that. And

209
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: they it's just, oh my god, it's so sad, what

210
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: a sob story. And to that, I say, I don't care.

211
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: Expose them sugarness. All right, draft picks that far out

212
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: are much more risky, have five years out. And I

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: mentioned that the front offices will have essentially the MX black.

214
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Card and no limit. And the reason I'm the limit.

215
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: Is because most of these guys don't last. These drabbronis

216
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: do not last five years out, like most of there's

217
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: so much turnover in the NFL. If you're a coach

218
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: or a general manager who cares if you trade draft

219
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: picks years down the line, you're not going to be there.

220
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: And if they work out, well, you will be there.

221
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: But if it doesn't work out, you just go somewhere else.

222
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: That's it.

223
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: And it's all trades anywhere. Speculative draft pick is more speculative.

224
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: You don't know you can trade. You know, I pick

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: five years out right now, Seattle. You know they got

226
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: some help from the referees to get that two point conversion.

227
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: That was a bogus call.

228
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: And so five years out from now they're the Super

229
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Bowl champs. You think they're gonna be good five years

230
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: and they could go four and thirteen five years from now,

231
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: who knows. You could stink out loud. The weather changes fast.

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: It does change fast, and you're just spitballing, and that's it.

233
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: You know.

234
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: You think you can smell trouble, you know, not necessarily.

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: Some of these teams that are good, all of a

236
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: sudden they sink without a trace.

237
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: Where'd they go? I don't know? All right?

238
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: Now, last word, we go to Chicago. We have learned

239
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: this is quite the tail. So the Bears quarterback Caleb

240
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: Williams is very very busy here with his lawyers and

241
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do a joke about him getting

242
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: a manny in a petty I'm not doing that. There's

243
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: a classy show. I'm not going to make a fingernail

244
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: polish joke. Caleb Williams has applied for multiple trademark protections

245
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: on the term Iceman. Yeah, he wants to be known

246
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: as the the Iceman. Now, some who clearly have knee

247
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: pads on are comparing the image of Caleb Williams throwing

248
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: that touchdown past against the Green Bay Packers and the

249
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: playoffs to.

250
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: The Michael Jordan jumpman logo. This is a big thing.

251
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: It's this big thing, and very excited, very very excited

252
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: about that. So the question bears quarterback Caleb Williams looking

253
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,359
Speaker 2: to monetize the Iceman nickname. How would a cynic interpret

254
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: this moment? Well, I'm glad you've asked that question, and

255
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: I just asked it to myself because as a cynic,

256
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: I will tell you. Has anyone contacted George Gervin, the

257
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: original Iceman NBA player? No?

258
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: All right, but you gotta be joking.

259
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: This guy's out here, Caleb Williams building a brand, building

260
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: a brand, and like he's some kind of overnight legend,

261
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: overnight legend, and.

262
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: He hasn't won.

263
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: Doesn't that normally there's like a chain of events that

264
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: have to take place there. It's connect the dots and

265
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: there's some dots that are missing. It's embarrassing you don't

266
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: nickname yourself the iceman, you know, and really lean into it.

267
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: That's earned right now, Caleb Williams more like lukewarm tapwater man,

268
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: and he's trying to trademark everything from.

269
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: The story that I read it. You're talking about.

270
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: Shirts, mugs, backpacks, trying to figure out what's next. He

271
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: could make a deal with Fruit of the Loom and

272
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: have Iceman under Rus for the kiddos who throw interceptions

273
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: on the playground at Recess they can they could have

274
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: that the fo of Loom Iceman under Rus would be big.

275
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, this is this is what happens when the hype,

276
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: when the hype goes unchecked. And I bring this term

277
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: up from time to time, the man who shot Liberty balance.

278
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: When the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend,

279
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: and the legend is that Caleb Williams is one of

280
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: the all time great big game quarterbacks and that he

281
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: cemented himself with the Chicago Bears in those two playoff

282
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: games this year. The reality is that in those two

283
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: games he played mostly as a fraud in the playoffs.

284
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: Unpopular opinion, but that's reality. And he said, oh, but

285
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: what about the comeback Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, what

286
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: about the overall product? He had more picks than touchdowns.

287
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: The rating was in the gutter. He was actually worse

288
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: in the playoffs than Sexy rexi Rex Grossman from back.

289
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: In the day.

290
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: And now we know he's Michael Jordan because he he

291
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: had that comeback pass against the Green Bay Packers. To me,

292
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: that was more about green Bay choky than it was

293
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: about the Bears doing anything magical. But then after that

294
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: went out had another stinker. You all told me, every

295
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: one of you told me. He said, listen, the Bears

296
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: are winning that game. They're at home, They're winning that

297
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: game against a soft West Coast Dome team, and Matthew

298
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: Stafford outdoor Chicago.

299
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how'd that work out? Yeah? Not not so good.

300
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: And just just let's calm down a little bit with

301
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: the the MJ conversation with Caleb Williams. As will Smith

302
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: said years ago at the Academy Awards. Keep Michael Jordan

303
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: name out of your ef and mouth when you're talking

304
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: about Caleb Williams is blasphemy. This whole thing is just

305
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: classic narcissism, is pure ego. And you just start winning

306
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: super Bowls and chick out even one, you know, start

307
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: printing the merch and that will be prolonged agony for

308
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: guys like me.

309
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: But do it right now.

310
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: I've got two games as a playoff quarterback and not

311
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,720

374
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here.

375
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: Uh no, well, it depends what what business you're in

376
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: forem me. You know, I mean, I'm in a business

377
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: that doesn't give raisis. But a lot of businesses do

378
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: give They do give ray lot a lot of people

379
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: get rasis. You know, it depends what you're doing. It

380
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: depends how generous the companies. But the NFL has the money.

381
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: It's like, that's my point. My point is the NFL

382
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 2: has the money to pay the referees, they just choose

383
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: not to. Mister nice guy says he claims that Ozzy

384
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: Guy slipped a bad word in on the show last night.

385
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: And that's not true, mister nice guy. That's just you

386
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: hearing a bad word.

387
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: We are professionals, would not allow a bad word to

388
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: get through at all. And what the reason that mister

389
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: nice guy thinks that was a bad word, because because Osi,

390
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: it's not Ozzy Guy, it's Ozzie Momentum. Get the name right,

391
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: Ozzie Momentum. He spoke Australian. And so you, mister nice guy,

392
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: you you know, another fat happy American. You don't understand Australian.

393
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: You don't understand the native tongue. And we understand the

394
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 2: native tongue of Australian. We do, we understand it.

397
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: Wimpy loves the idea of being able to trade for

398
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: a yummy item now and pay the price years down

399
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 2: the road. No, now that's not a dated reference. And listen,

400
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: I do the same thing. Not a burner, And I

401
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,280

405
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: a lottery ticket.

413
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: I think I'm right, unless I'm not. Ninety six percent

414
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: of calls by NFL referees are wrong. So bring on

415
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: the amateur guys and the gals bring them in. Yeah, well,

416

00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 4: mal or militia and you know, to to chat with

468
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 4: you for for a few Listen, Ben, what is this

469
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: slight animist that I'm anticipating I'm feeling towards these draft picks.

470
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: I know that they're speculative, Ben, but but the draft

471
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 4: picks of the future. Okay, we can't just be discarding them,

472
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 4: trading them away, you know for the hot free agent

473
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: of the moment. How did that work out in the NBA.

474
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's worked out. It's worked out great. It's worked

475
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: out great for.

476
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 2: The la Rams who have been have had I think

477
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: one first round draft pick the last ten years or

478
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: something like that, and then they're in the playoffs pretty

479
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: much every year. They've been to multiple Super Bowls, they

480
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl. It's worked out pretty well for them.

481
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: That's why nobody knows exactly how much Sean mcvain makes

482
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 4: based on his deal with the Rams, because he's a

483
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: guy that can get in and develop these young players.

484
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 4: And Bill, we've forgotten about Aaron Donald. My point exactly.

485
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 4: Not every team is coached by Sean McVay, Okay, and

486
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 4: now everybody has somebody that's going to develop it. And

487
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: then secondly, right we look at New England, Bill Belichick,

488
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 4: you know the guru. I'm not gonna pay the guys

489
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: the money because I'm gonna go ahead and get the

490
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 4: next guy and develop him, and so I don't have

491
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: to pay the guy that's right here. Well, that works

492
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 4: out all well and good when you have Tom Brady

493
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: as your quarterback. But what happened after Tom Brady took

494
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: his talent down to Florida? Okay, I'm gonna say South Beach,

495
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: but no, he is you know what I'm saying. He

496
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: took that talent to Tampa Bay, Right, Bill Belichick not

497
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: hitting on these draft picks, and it's all down It's

498
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: all downhill from there, okay. Point of fact being, I

499
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: just feel if you have the right people in place,

500
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 4: I e and I'm using a basketball repords. No, it's

501
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: football conversation. If you've got to Sam Presty that's operating

502
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 4: your chess board, those draft picks and playing chess to

503
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: other people's checkers, well that's all.

504
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: That's all great. The reason the thunder are good is

505
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: not because of any draft picks. It's because they happen

506
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: to get from the Clippers. Shade Jogis Alexander. That's why

507
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: they're good. They didn't draft him. That you're making my

508
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: point for me. They didn't even draft the guy that's

509
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: the face of the franchise in Oklahoma City. That's not

510
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: even one of their picks. They traded for him. They

511
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: got him from another team. That's my point, listen, that

512
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: we gotta get rid of this this loser I call

513
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: a loser mindset that reg to the draft. It's all

514
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: about the draft, the draft, the draft. To shut the

515
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: draft up. You tuck us enough with the draft. There

516
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: are other ways. My point is, there are other ways

517
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: to do it. Andre, And you know this idea trade

518
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: the pics. If you're that confident, if you have a

519
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: chance to go for.

520
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: It, you go for it and you don't worry.

521
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: About you figured out you can find diamonds in the rough.

522
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: You don't have to have first round draft picks. You

523
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: can get good players all over the place. And it's

524
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: is it harder. I don't know if it's harder. It's different,

525
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: and people are afraid of different. They want to go

526
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: with the same exact thing because this is how it's

527
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: always been done.

528
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: And I say screw that. Andre's what I say.

529
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 7: Ben.

530
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: Even though you're a good cook and a good baker,

531
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: and you make cookies and you have everything ready to

532
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: go over at the studio, you can do all those things.

533
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City they did draft hut Home grins.

534
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: They did, oh stop chet Home is not that good.

535

Speaker 5: Yeah.

564
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

565
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 7: You were talking about, you know, people getting raises. Before

566
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: I lost my vision, I was actually in the United Association,

567
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 7: which is a union, and they have those built into

568
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 7: the contracts. You get a percentage every year with the CBA,

569
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 7: and as an apprentice, you got two raises a year.

570
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 7: You're yearly raising in whatever percentage of what the journeyman made.

571
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 7: But dude, my Commodorees got severely screwed in March Madness.

572
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 7: They should have at least been a four seed. But

573
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 7: I don't know what the committee was thinking with this

574
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 7: when they placed them as a five.

575
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: Come on, don't who cares about that? Blind? Just go

Speaker 2: Come on, Blind Sea Bass? What's wrong with you? You know,

582
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,680

583
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: Who cares? Just beat it.

584
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to beat good teams to get to

585
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: the final four, So just go and beat them.

586
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, I'm just

587
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 7: saying I think. I mean, I think we can. You know,

588
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 7: I mean we beat Florida in the tournament, you know,

589
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 7: chuck the Arkansas game that was a lot closer than

590
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 7: the score actually, uh and then the score represented everything.

591
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: But no, yeah, I got it. I got any going

592
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 7: at least to the the Elite eight before they get

593
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 7: put out.

594
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: Now do you have your do you have your Vandy

595
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: T shirt on? Or do you have the hoodie?

596
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 7: I've got my hoodie, T shirt, sweatpants, and and my hat.

597
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: Get the whole going off full fan uniform fully.

598
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

599
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. And then with me at uh it's kind of

600
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 7: a weird too, with me being at Western Kentucky University. Yeah,

601
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 7: they're a smaller school.

602
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: But the Hilltoppers, the Hilltop Hilltoppers. I have a hat.

603
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: I have I have a somewhere in my hat collection. Here.

604
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: One of the listeners there sent me a Hilltoppers hat.

605
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: I have a It's very unique.

606
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: You don't see that a lot of places outside of

607
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: Western Kentucky.

608
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 7: So let's see, here's the ironic thing about this. So

609
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 7: is it's actually in south central Kentucky.

610
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: Is that like northern northern or no? Is it Southern

611
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: Floridas in northern in Tampa?

612
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Is that it? We're one of the Florida one of

613
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: the Florida. I forget which one, but one of.

614
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: The schools is in Tampa. But it's supposed to be

615
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 2: in the south, and it's all messed up.

616
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

617
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: South South Florida is in Tampa, but it's supposed to

618
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: think South Florida.

619
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: You think, you know, yeah, something like that. Yeah.

620
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, Sea Basketball call it well, all you

Speaker 2: not a fan of the scene in Memphis. We have

652
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,160
