We'll get into 68 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: some of that. Of course. It's NBA All Star weekend. 69 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: The All Star Game will be tomorrow in Indianapolis. I'm 70 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: not as against the All Star Game as a lot 71 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: of people are. It's not the worst All Star game. Obviously, 72 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: the NFL with their flag football game rules the roost 73 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: on that one. So we're going to get into that. 74 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: We're only a few weeks away from selection Sunday for 75 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 2: March Madness, and we even got pitchers and catchers and 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: yet spring training baseball actual games will start later this week. 77 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: But I want to get one thing completely out of 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: the way, because I know for some it's an annoying 79 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: subject matter. But I feel like I'm going to turn 80 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: to you as someone that has a real read on 81 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: the situation, okay, And I actually has no idea where 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: I'm going to have an idea. Understand that as I 83 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: asked her this, But I want to get this out 84 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: of the way, okay, because I got a lot of 85 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: actual sports to get to. So in the aftermath of 86 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: the chief victory of the forty nine ers, Yes, and 87 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: obviously a very happy Taylor Swift. And if you do 88 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: not know, I don't want to overplay your enthusiasm for 89 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Taylor's Swift, but you are a genuine fan. 90 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: I am a genuine fan. 91 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: Would you be upset if people labeled you a Swifties? 92 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: I would not be upset, but I think Swifties would 93 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: say I'm not a Swiftie, but I would not be 94 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 4: upset if you call it. 95 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: So you have to sort of be next level to be. 96 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: A I think I'm a huge fan of Taylor Swift. 97 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: I went to her concert. I took it a long togo, 98 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: but I think. 99 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: Swifties would be like, she's not a real swiftye because 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: I don't deep dive into knowing everything about Taylor Swift. 101 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,119 Speaker 2: Okay, so, but you are someone that we talked plenty 102 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: about her. 103 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, all of her songs, know, Oliver, Yes, So. 104 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: You know I'm always listening. You know, where's social media 105 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 2: going as far as postgame reaction, and you know, obviously 106 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: there was a lot of stuff about the game, why 107 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: the Chiefs won, the forty nine Ers lost, and everything else, 108 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: But as prevalent was obviously the Travis Kelcey brief meltdown 109 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: with Andy Reid, which you know was sort of self 110 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: explained and he sort of lost his cool and then 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: his brother called him out on their podcast saying he 112 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: went too far and he apologized and everything else. I 113 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: didn't even think about the Travis or the Taylor Swift 114 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 2: part of this story. But all of a sudden, social 115 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: media is like red flag warning, Taylor, get rid of 116 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: this guy now. Yeah, if he loses his cool in 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: a fit of anger with some old man on the 118 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: sideline warning call to you, Taylor's swift. Now, we know 119 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: one thing about Travis Kelsey because he's had fits of 120 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 2: well temper tantrums. We've seen him a few times this year. 121 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: This was just the latest one. It was more prevalent 122 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: because it was obviously the Super Bowl. But are you 123 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 2: one of those that, let's just say, as a friend 124 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: observing the behavior of a man who is dating someone 125 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: that you care about, would you consider that m might 126 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: want to be careful? 127 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: Not Okay. 129 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: People who were saying that have never played sports or 130 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: competitive sports. But that's me on a Tuesday night playing volleyball, 131 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 4: screaming at my teammate who didn't chase the ball. 132 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 133 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: Like it was in the moment, And yeah you could 134 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: say he crossed the line, sure, but it happened in 135 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: the moment. 136 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: Emotions are high the Super Bowl. 137 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I read that and I just scoffed and kept 138 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 4: scrolling because I was like, this is ridiculous. This is 139 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 4: not a red flag. Relax people, it was the Super Bowl. 140 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: He was frustrated, he wanted to be out there whatever, he. 141 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: Had a little tantrum. Relax, you know what I'm saying. 142 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: But I did not think that at all. And when 143 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: it happened, I was just like, oh. 144 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 4: Travis is mad. Travis' is like, oh, that's all I 145 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 4: thought in the moment. But did I think this is 146 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 4: a red flag? 147 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: This shows that he is a bad type of guy 148 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: in a real romantic relationship. Never did I go thinking 149 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: that far. 150 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 2: I'll tell you where even a further. So, his brother 151 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: Jason called him out, saying you went too far, but 152 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: then also backed up his brother saying, you understand, the 153 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: only reason that you did this is that you love 154 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: this man. That only threw more heat on the Swift 155 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: saying oh so. In other words, he feels like I 156 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: can have these tempered tantrums with people that I care about. 157 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 4: People just want to create a narrative that is not 158 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: there because they're bored. 159 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: That has nothing. 160 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: What happened in that moment with Andy Reid in the 161 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: middle of the Super Bowl has absolutely nothing to do 162 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 4: with his relationship with Taylor Swift or with anyone for 163 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: that matter. 164 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. 165 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: And again, I think those are just a lot of 166 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: people who have never played sports, or competitive sports or 167 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: however and have never been in such. None of us here, 168 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 4: a very small percentage of the population know what it's 169 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: like to play in a super Bowl in a championship 170 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: type game. I don't know what it's like to play 171 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: in a championship type game to that status. So I 172 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: can only imagine when I'm playing again recreational volleyball with 173 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 4: my friends and I get mad. I can't imagine what 174 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: I would be on a stage of the Super Bowl 175 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 4: when I want to win so badly and we're we 176 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: weren't clicking at that time. 177 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: The Chiefs were looking good in the moment, So I 178 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: get it. I understand it completely. It's so ridiculous the 179 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: narrative that people want to create just because it's Taylor 180 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 3: Swift and Travis Hill. You know what, The haters have 181 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: been there since the beginning, Steve. 182 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 5: See. 183 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: The problem is, I can identify a lot with Kelsey. 184 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys. Can you don't see me 185 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: a lot? As far as you know, anger fits? 186 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: No, never actually get mad. 187 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've never. 188 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: And you don't look like you let anything get to you. 189 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: Oh, I guess I don't know. Does everybody have sort 190 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: of a breaking point. But I have had instances where 191 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: I have lost it on either a co host some 192 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: of my own bosses, and all of a sudden I 193 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: lose the ability to hold it in and it just 194 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: comes out. 195 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's called being Latino et. 196 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: Well, I married one of them. Yeah, But I mean 197 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: point is is that I can understand for those that 198 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: don't understand the game of football, the competitive nature of 199 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: the game and you know, the heat of the moment's situations, 200 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: if they were just amongst the one hundred and twenty million plus. 201 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: By the way, when they say one hundred and twenty 202 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: million watch, it actually was closer to two hundred million. 203 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: I read that because it's more of where's the average 204 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: watching correct at a certain time. It doesn't include everyone 205 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: that at some point actually watched the game. That's sort 206 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: of an average when they come up with that number 207 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two million. Probably more about two 208 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 2: hundred million at some point were watching in the Super Bowl, 209 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: but a lot of those were Taylor Swift fans who 210 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: really have never cared a second about the NFL but 211 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: wanted to see them. By the way, we were talking 212 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: over unders, I gave over under eight and a half. 213 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: It was twelve twelve, yeah, twelve times she was during 214 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: the game four seconds or something like that. Fifty four seconds, yeah, 215 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 4: which is nothing in the grand scheme of the whole thing. 216 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: Well, you do understand, an average NFL game, just a 217 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: normal three hour game, actual playing time is eleven minutes. 218 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: Did you know that? 219 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: No? 220 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if you only count from the one the 221 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 2: ball is snapped till the end of a play. If 222 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: you add it all up, the average NFL game, there's 223 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: actually eleven minutes of playing time. 224 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: This is like making my head hurt. 225 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: Well, think about it, right, So you you you snapped 226 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: the ball? Play takes what couple seconds? 227 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah? 228 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 229 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I mean nuts. 230 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. The average NFL game, over three hours, actual playing 231 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: where the game there's actual action going on, is about 232 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: eleven minutes. Yeah wow total. 233 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 4: Okay, So when you put it in that way, you're 234 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 4: saying the fifty four seconds is a lot. 235 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 7: Think about that. 236 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: I mean seriously, you know, we just say these guys 237 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: are iron men. Man, they're out there for you know, 238 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: playing the whole you know, and they're like they played 239 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: eleven minutes. 240 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: But you know, I will I hear. 241 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 4: What you're saying, but for some reason, fighting with somebody 242 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: like wrestling is very exhausting, and this is a lot 243 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: of wrestling, Like it's different. 244 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: I'm not belittling the physical, but. 245 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: It sounds like it's only eleven But I'm like, yeah, no, 246 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 4: I could do cardio easily for eleven minutes if I'm 247 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: like wrestling. When I was like wrestling with my brothers 248 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 4: growing up, it was like thirty seconds and I'm tapping 249 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 4: out like I can't. It's very exhausting. But still you're 250 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: making my head hurt with this eleven minutes. 251 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: I get it. I at it well. 252 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: Most of the game we're watching them, you know, call 253 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 2: the play, huddle up everything else, walk to the ascrimmer. 254 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: Just once you snap the ball, the play is over quick. 255 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 5: You know. 256 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: Next next season, I'm going to time a game. She's 257 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: gonna use to stop watch every time. 258 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: All right, So I wanted to get that out of 259 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: the way. Do not want to mention it again unless 260 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: let something happens.

That was an interesting 293 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: week in Jacksonville because two things happened that week. Won 294 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: The weather was not good. HELI raining in the thirties. 295 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that's. 296 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: Not like, you know Jacksonville. Looking a map, there's Jacksonville 297 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: up here. Miami's way down here, a different part of 298 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: the states. It was also the week that Rudy tom 299 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: Jenovich resigned as the coach of the Lakers after having 300 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: taken over from Phil Jackson. This is the three four 301 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: to five season. And suddenly, because I was with the 302 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: Lakers station at the time, I'm getting in all these 303 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: requests to go on different shows. Do you remember a 304 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: show on ESPN called Cold Pizza. It was it was 305 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: like a morning show they had, and so they were 306 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: all set up at the super Bowl site obviously, but 307 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: instead of an indoor show, they thought, hey, let's take 308 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: advantage and have it like outdoors by the water. And 309 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: it was freezing and it was windy, and it was raining. 310 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 5: And everything. 311 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: So they asked me to come on to talk about 312 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: this situation where like I go out there and I 313 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 2: was just looking around like these poor hosts. I mean, 314 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: the wind was blowing, it was weird. It was absolutely torturous. Anyway, 315 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: So we welcome people Jacksonville, beautiful city. Uh, and we 316 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: welcome you to the Fox Sports Radio family. All right, 317 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: I want to I want to jump in immediately here 318 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: Monsei with some idea thoughts about the takeaways from the 319 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I got a couple of mine, but let's 320 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: start with this one. One of the hotly debated subjects 321 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: after what happened is that the forty nine ers apparently 322 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: did not understand the new overtime rules by electing to 323 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: have the ball first. Like this was a really bad mistake. 324 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: And to me, that's a really bad take I agree. 325 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: So here's let's let's review exactly what happened at the 326 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: end of regulation that and there's there's multiple reasons why 327 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers made the right decision. But remember 328 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: the end of regular eleven play, seventy four yard drive 329 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. They end up tying the game with 330 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: the field so your defense has already gassed and they 331 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: looked in, so you put them right back on the field. 332 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: Effort already playing the full game doesn't make any sense. 333 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: But here, to me is a much more valid reason 334 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: to tell you why they made the right decision and why, yes, 335 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: they did understand the overtime rules. So the new overtime 336 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: rules say this, if a team scores a touchdown, doesn't 337 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: matter what you score, the other team is going to 338 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: get the ball. Understand this. After each team has had 339 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: the ball once, if the game is still tied, the 340 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: next score wins the game. And in this case, if 341 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: the Chiefs have been held to a field goal, the 342 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: forty nine ers could have gone right down the field. 343 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: They would have had the ball first, in which is 344 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: now a sudden death game. I did not understand this 345 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: reasoning because look I knew, and I called it out 346 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: when they had to settle for a field goal in 347 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: that opening drive. I said, you just lost the game, 348 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: because I just you get a sense that Patrick Mahomes 349 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: is gonna do what he does and they're gonna win 350 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: the game. But I didn't question at all their decision 351 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 2: to take the ball first. One because their defense was 352 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 2: gassed at the end of regulation, and two because if 353 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: the game is still tied after each team, by the rules, 354 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 2: gets the ball once, then they're in their position to 355 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: have the ball first in what then becomes a sudden 356 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: death game. 357 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: So I know, now I'm more confused. 358 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 10: Why was there time? 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: Then? 360 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: Why did we have a Like a. 361 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 2: Quarter is no reason to have any time. 362 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 3: So that was just confusing. 363 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: Okay, great, there's no There really is no reason for 364 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 2: a time because let's the scoring play. Time was running 365 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: out the end of this overtime period. If they had 366 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: not scored, then they would have changed sides of the 367 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: field like the end of a quarter. But there really 368 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: is no play in terms of time. Obviously this isn't 369 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: a normal overtime or the game could potentially end in 370 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: a tie. Obviously the game has to have a winner, 371 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: right right. 372 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: Okay, So then that just threw me up on. 373 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: What they would have called. If the Chiefs didn't score 374 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: on that play that quarter, well, over time would. 375 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 4: Have ended, and then that's why it's like the whole 376 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: new game, because they would have. 377 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 2: Switched and then they would have started a new quarter. 378 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: Gotcha. 379 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 4: Okay, Still, you're right, we don't need the time. I 380 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: am one hundred percent with you. As it was happening. 381 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 4: I didn't know there were new overtime rules, but I 382 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 4: instantly was like, oh, they're not they're not taking the ball, 383 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 4: or they are. 384 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: They don't want to put their defense out there. Instantly 385 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: is what I thought, because the defense looked gassed by 386 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: the end of it. 387 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 4: So I didn't think twice about it. And then after 388 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan came out and said, what you just said. 389 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 4: Our logic was we score, they score, next score wins. 390 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: We have the ball. It's as simple as that, right 391 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: that he said it, and I was like, yeah, that 392 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: makes sense. 393 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: When you take away the sudden death element of this 394 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: overtime in playoff football, then you're thinking, well, it's the 395 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: next possession, right becomes the sudden death right. So if 396 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: we get the ball first and we're still tied after 397 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: the first two possessions, then it is sudden death and 398 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: we get the ball first. 399 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: And he said all that, and I thought it made 400 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 3: perfect sense. I mean, I didn't like. 401 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 4: That the players came out and admitted that they didn't 402 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 4: know the rules, because you should know the rules. 403 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 3: But Kyle Shanahan knew what he was doing. He knew 404 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 3: what he was doing, and it made. 405 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 10: Sense to me. 406 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: All right, here's the other thing that came out of 407 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: this game that just blew me away. The key to 408 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: this loss for the forty nine ers was the missed 409 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 2: extra point. Absolutely, I'm like, hold on a second here, okay, 410 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: So Moody gets the extra point blocked. It was a 411 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: low kick. It was on him. He also kicked a 412 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: fifty five and a fifty three yard field goal. If 413 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 2: he misses either one of those kicks. The key play 414 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: to this game was the Chiefs punt that hits the 415 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: foot of the forty nine er player who should have 416 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: been paying attention. The returner alertly saw what had happened, 417 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: but instead of falling on the ball, he tried to 418 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: pick up the ball. He funnels the ball away. The 419 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: Chiefs get the ball next play, touchdown, and it was 420 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: an idea. It was a fluke play, almost identical to 421 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: what happened a year ago when Jalen Hurts just dropped 422 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: the ball and it was picked up by the Chiefs 423 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: for a gift touchdown. Both of these are three point 424 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: games and a fluke situation that so rarely happens when 425 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: in the favor of the Chiefs and the capitalized with 426 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: touchdowns in both instances. That was the difference in this game. 427 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 4: Not just that, but let's say Jake Moody makes that 428 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: and it is a four point game, the Chiefs settled 429 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 4: for the field goal at the end of regulation, they 430 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 4: would have just gone for it and there would have 431 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: been no overtime. Like if everything else happened the way, 432 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 4: including this fluke play, and he still makes the field goal, 433 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 4: how do you how could you possibly say with confidence 434 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 4: that the chief would not have just scored a touchdown 435 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: at the end of regulation because they settled for the 436 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 4: field goal to go to ot. 437 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: I look at the Chiefs right now. Look I've had 438 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: I have friends of mine that have been chief sands 439 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: forever and the Chiefs. In fact, I was texting one 440 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: of my friends who's a big cheese fan, and I 441 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: texted him this, I said, did you ever think he 442 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: would live long enough to see the Kansas City Chiefs 443 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: become the most hated team in football? And hated means 444 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: it's like the Patriots. Once you become successful, you become hated. 445 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: When you start winning a lot of Super Bowls, then 446 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: people are like rooting against you. The Chiefs had no relevance, 447 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: none just like the Patriots had zero relevance for decades 448 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, they get a magical 449 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: quarterback starting to win multiple super Bowls, just like the 450 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: Chiefs have, and you become this hated team. But it's 451 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: more than that. When you look at the Patriots and 452 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: the six Super Bowls they won, the first three were 453 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 2: all three point games, and then the next two wins 454 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: were the inexplicable Russell Wilson interception, still the most baffling 455 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: call in Super Bowl history, and then the miracle comeback 456 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 2: against Atlanta. The only Super Bowl of those six that 457 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 2: they won commits it was the Rams game, but even 458 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: that was a one score game until late. So the 459 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 2: same things happening with the Chiefs. You know, Jimmy Garoppolo 460 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 2: doesn't miss that show. If that show is a yard shorter, 461 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: forty nine ers win that game. Yeah, and we talk 462 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 2: about a fluke fumble by Jalen Hurtz and some freaking 463 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: punt lands on the foot of a forty nine er 464 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: resulting in an easy touchdown for the Chiefs. Otherwise they 465 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: would have zero super Bowl So I've been around this 466 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 2: game long enough where sometimes you have to figure out 467 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: why why are these football gods suddenly smiling on what 468 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: had been largely a very anonymous franchise, the Chiefs, to 469 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 2: decide to allow them to get every single break to 470 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: hoist that Lombardi Trophy. 471 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 4: I don't know why the football gods are doing that, 472 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 4: but we still have to give credit because they have 473 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: found a way to win bad situational games. And aren't 474 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 4: isn't that what championship teams are. Isn't that what they're 475 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 4: supposed to do. You are supposed to find a way 476 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 4: to win, even if it's ugly, And they've done it, 477 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: and you could say the same thing about the Patriots. 478 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: I don't know why the football ats are doing this. 479 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: I don't know, but it is early similar. 480 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: Well it's eerily similar. And what's also early similar in 481 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 2: the Patriots and the Chiefs is they have the quarterbacks 482 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: that can take advantage of opportunities, right, and so for 483 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: Tom Brady and obviously Patrick Mahomes, they can do that. 484 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: Just that Mark Mdeen is going to be join us 485 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: coming up here on the other side.

Now, my lefte Trizel was quite 565 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: a character. 566 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 11: You want to talk about personality, His personality, that's what 567 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 11: I mean, that's. 568 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: What that was what make college basketball great When I 569 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: was a kid. 570 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, we weren't sitting there watching for like the the 571 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 11: I wasn't watching just for the greatness of JJ Reddick, 572 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 11: for example. 573 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: It was more long to. 574 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 11: See these titans of industry like coach k and Jim Beheim, 575 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 11: and so go back and forth because you knew the 576 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 11: rivalry dark running out with the with the John Cheney. 577 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 2: I'll kill you.

Came into Paula and lost by 581 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: one point. Wow, they almost pulled it off. Almost And 582 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: it of course with the Notre Dame game, all right, Mark, 583 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: we'll check in with you a little bit later on 584 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: once again, Steve Hartman and Moncie Belanios Here Fox Sports Saturday. 585 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: We are live from the ty iraq dot com studios. 586 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the NBA. We got NBA 587 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: All Star week in. The All Star Game is tomorrow, 588 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: and Jony is right. I'm trying to think of the 589 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: last time that I hooked up with Mark. Mark. Mark 590 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: Medina is joining us right now. Mark, when's the last 591 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: time we shared any time on the airways. 592 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 6: I don't have the exact tape. I felt like during 593 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 6: the playoffs, every day blended together. Either why it's it's 594 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 6: always good arena and tall coops with you, Monse. We're 595 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 6: regular here, so we'll just pick off right where we 596 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 6: left off exactly. 597 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: Well, Mark, it is great to have you on right now. 598 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 2: I have a different spin. I know a lot of 599 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: people are critical of the NBA All Star Game, and 600 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 2: when you have an overrunder of like three sixty, it's 601 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: not really a game. And I heard our buddy Jonas 602 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 2: Knox calling out the NBA like here you have the 603 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: first weekend with at NFL football and you parade out 604 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: the All Star Game. The one thing I do appreciate 605 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 2: about this All Star Game is is they limit the squads. 606 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: You know, we've seen the Pro Bowl and they have 607 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: like thirty alternates end up being labeled as you know 608 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: Pro bowlers. Baseball does the same thing where they're constantly 609 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: shuffling guys in and out, but they've held steady with 610 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: these twelve man squads. And the thing I also appreciated 611 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: is that it's tough for a first timer to make 612 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: the All Star Game. And my attitude has always been 613 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: this half a season does not make you an All Star. 614 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: I mean, when I look at these NBA All Star rosters, 615 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: these are proven All Stars for the most part. There's 616 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: always that breakout star that you're like, Okay, let's see 617 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: how they fare. But I just appreciate the way they 618 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: structure the All Star Game in terms of selecting the 619 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: All Stars. 620 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot to unpack. I agree with you, 621 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 6: mostly in the sense that the size rosters good. I 622 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 6: know that some coaches and players vouch for there to 623 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 6: be fifteen man rosters because that's what the regular season 624 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 6: team rosters are. But if you're going to go that deep, 625 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 6: guys aren't even gonna play, and they play a lot 626 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 6: of limited minutes anyway for veterans. The qualm that I 627 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 6: do have with this selection is that the criteria is 628 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 6: inconsistent with when you're looking at starters. Because it's a 629 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 6: mix of fan media and player votes for whatever imperfections 630 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 6: all parties have, it mostly balances it out and it's 631 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 6: hard to get the starters wrong because we all know 632 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 6: who are the best players. But when it comes to 633 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 6: the reserves, that falls on the coaches, and their criteria 634 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 6: is dependent on each coach, you know. I remember talking 635 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 6: to a handful of coaches a few years ago, and 636 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 6: the main criteria that they talked about is they really 637 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 6: want to reward guys on winning teams, with the exception 638 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 6: of doing the reverse where if a guy is having 639 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 6: a spectacular season, you have to imagine what that losing 640 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 6: team would look like even without them. But I feel 641 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 6: like there's too many times where there's too many coaches 642 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 6: that are either overvaluing the winning team component or going 643 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 6: the complete opposite direction, and look like every coach is 644 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 6: entitled to their own criteria, But because of that, there's 645 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 6: a whole wave of inconsistency. To explain why reserves are 646 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 6: selected or snubbed. 647 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 4: With that mark, who do you think was the biggest 648 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 4: snub of the All Star Game this year? 649 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, good question. I would say was demonte s the bonus. 650 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 2: Totally. 651 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 6: I think mainly the bonus he leads the league in rebounding. 652 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 6: He's shown a lot of improvement with this physicality dating 653 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 6: back to last season with the first round playoff ex 654 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 6: as a golden state. And while I think that there 655 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 6: has been a trigger point for then people to say, well, 656 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 6: the Lakers shouldn't have two All Stars with Lebron James 657 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 6: Anthony Davis because they're barely above five hundred and they've 658 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 6: been struggling. I do understand why both players were in 659 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 6: because Lebron he deserves to be a starter or not 660 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 6: just because of his twenty first season, but he's played 661 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 6: at a high level. But in eight East case, it's 662 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 6: it fits that crush here that I was talking about. 663 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 6: Imagine how bad that team would look even more without them. 664 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 6: But regardless, if I had to choose, I think Demontes 665 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 6: Sabonis should have gotten in over them. 666 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,239 Speaker 2: Now, one decision the NBA made this year that is 667 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: working is the idea that you have to play at 668 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: least sixty five games in order to be eligible for 669 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: any postseason honors, and the number of games that the 670 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 2: Stars are playing has certainly increased this year to ensure 671 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,719 Speaker 2: themselves because there's bonuses, a lot of pluses obviously to 672 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 2: be selected to the All NBA teams or any of 673 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: the kind of awards out there. It's hard to believe 674 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 2: we've come to this mark. I mean, I always would 675 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: cite that Michael Jordan's final season as a forty year 676 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 2: old with the Washing Wizards, he played in all eighty 677 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: two games. How do we get to this point where 678 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: the league actually had a step out of their way 679 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 2: to mandate to try to ensure that their star players 680 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: actually played, you know, the majority of the games during 681 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: the course of a regular season. 682 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 6: Well, I think, like the previous question, there's a lot 683 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 6: to unpacked because while I have certainly been critical of 684 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 6: load management and critical of how bad the All Star 685 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 6: Game is, the percentage blame pie is more from the organization. 686 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 6: There's more, you know, people in the training staff. I 687 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 6: think it's mostly for the good. When you look at 688 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 6: the numbers, players' careers have gone longer, and I would 689 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 6: push back a little for all the praise that Michael 690 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 6: Jordan gets for playing on eighty two, Let's not forget 691 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 6: he retired twice and stepped away from the game. And 692 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 6: you know, it's understandable reasons why that happened, But there's 693 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 6: a lot of apples and oranges comparisons with that, and 694 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 6: so how it pertains to the availability. Yeah, there might 695 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 6: be some guys that weren't as old school with pushing 696 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 6: back or fighting to play every single game, but the 697 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 6: vast majority of it has been organizationally driven, where the 698 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: training staff and the front offices are dictating to the 699 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 6: coaches and the players, Hey, you have to sit out 700 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 6: because our analytics show that you're overextending your workload. And 701 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 6: I think again, when you look at the longevity of players, 702 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 6: that can be a good thing, but it's also diminishing 703 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 6: the competition. I think that it doesn't have to always 704 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 6: be an either or like. I think that there is 705 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 6: a way for guys to be more available. This season 706 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 6: gained the game in the past without you know, putting 707 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 6: guys out to dry and putting them to be further 708 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 6: vulnerable with injuries. And so the thing about the sixty 709 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 6: five game rule, as much as we've seen, you know, 710 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 6: more availability this season. I largely think that doesn't have 711 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 6: anything to do with it. It's more that guys are healthier 712 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 6: from the training staff standpoint, and that's what's happened. I 713 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 6: think the other ironic or is that when it came 714 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 6: to individual awards. As a voter myself, most voters were 715 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 6: already putting games played as one of the key metrics 716 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 6: to get awarded. I know when I voted for Nikola 717 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 6: Jokic as MVP for that twenty twenty twenty one season, 718 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 6: part of it was because he was a lot healthier 719 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 6: than Joel Embiid. So I would not share the opinion 720 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 6: that some players had where they were saying this rule 721 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 6: is putting players in harm's way. There has to be 722 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 6: a standard, but I think in fairness, the voters were 723 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 6: already having that standard to begin with. And lastly, on 724 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 6: that point, the thing that I take exception to when 725 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 6: it comes to awards is that they have to remove 726 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 6: that as a financial incentive because it's putting voters in 727 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 6: a really tough spot where I think, for all the 728 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 6: imperfections media voters might have, they're the most objective out 729 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 6: of any voter. But I don't think philsophically they should 730 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 6: be voting for an award that's going to directly impact 731 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 6: someone's financial earnings or not. 732 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 2: No, I agree. I mean, you know, you get to 733 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: the super level of contracts based on an All NBA selection. Mark, 734 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 2: we run up against the clock, but man, we appreciate this. 735 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 2: It's great to catch up with you. I'm excited to 736 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: get into the NBA down the stretch, starting with this 737 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,959 Speaker 2: All Star Game tomorrow. Thanks for the. 738 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 6: Time, Mark, I appreciate you guys, looking forward to next time. 739 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 2: All right, Mark Medina joiny. Is there a Fox Sports 740 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 2: Radio NBA insider coming up on the other side, the 741 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 2: most talked about basketball player on the planet. Who is it? 742 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 2: You'll find out? This is Fox. 743 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Sports Saturday Long rebound dug up by Gabby Marshall scoops 744 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: a pass to Clark logo three. 745 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: Twenty two is now number one. Haitln Clark is the 746 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 2: NCAA's all time story. 747 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: Leader in women's basketball history. 748 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: All right, So that's Hawkeyes Radio new work. It was 749 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: a celebrated event as well. It should have been Kaitlyn 750 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 2: Clark breaking the all time NCAA women's career scoring record. Now, 751 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 2: so there's a bit of an asterisk on this one 752 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 2: because Lynette Woodard, who was at the University of Kansas, 753 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 2: her career predated NCA taking over women's sports. They were 754 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: under the aia W banner back in the day, and 755 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 2: most people actually do recognize Lynette Woodard as the all 756 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 2: time leading scorer. But based on where Kaitlin Clark is 757 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: on the season, she's about to break that record probably 758 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 2: in about three games. 759 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 3: Yes she is. 760 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 4: Woodward's record is three six and forty nine points. Right 761 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 4: in a couple of games. 762 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 2: She'll have that one. And then because almost all these 763 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: coaches from GENO RMA, all of them are saying, well, 764 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: the real records Lynette Woodard, she's a Hall of Famer 765 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 2: Drake dominant player back in the day. Look, I don't 766 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 2: Here's where I would draw the line though, in terms 767 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 2: of Kaitlin Clark's records. She breaks Lynette woods Now she's 768 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 2: the all time leading scorer. Here's what I don't want 769 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: to hear her breaking Pete Marivitch's records. Okay, So these 770 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 2: are two different sports and one of the things that 771 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 2: really has gotten to be moncey about, especially since ESPN 772 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 2: is so fully invested in women's basketball, which is a 773 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 2: great thing, but they try to bring together these women's 774 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 2: records with men's records, like when Yukon rattled off ninety 775 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 2: wins in a row and they break UCLA's record of 776 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: eighty eight. This is absurd. Yeah, these are and to me, 777 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 2: what it does, it does a disservice to the women, 778 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: like somehow you're trying to elevate or justify their existence 779 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: by comparing them to the men. I think we're you know, 780 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 2: NCAA women's basketball has been around for over forty years now. 781 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: I think they have enough history, enough recognizable names where 782 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 2: they don't have to be drawn into some kind of 783 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 2: ridiculous comparison to the men and can stand on their own. 784 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 4: I agree with you, and I think they're proving that, 785 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 4: you know, every year more and more, like Sabrina u 786 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 4: unscu am I saying that right, she also, you know, 787 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 4: was putting women's college basketball on the map. We could 788 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 4: go to Kansas Parker, we could go to Lisa Leslie. 789 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 4: But every time it gets a little bit bigger, you 790 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 4: can say it's social media, but Caitlin Clark's shooting is 791 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 4: just wild and fun. 792 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 3: To watch, which is why it's exciting. 793 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 4: The shot that breaks the record was from like the 794 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 4: logo like she. 795 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 10: Did it in style. 796 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 3: She broke it in style. 797 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 2: All right, here is one fact that is undeniable right now. 798 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 2: There is only one college basketball player currently men or women. 799 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: The people will pay to see, whether she's at home 800 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: or she's on the road. They are filling arenas to 801 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,399 Speaker 2: see k Lynclark play. She's the only one. 802 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 3: Lines are ridiculous, right, ridiculous. 803 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 2: She is the biggest star this year in college basketball, 804 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 2: men's or women's. Is she the best player? You're gonna 805 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 2: compare them? It's not about what about that? 806 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 3: Thank you for saying that. 807 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 2: The question is who is the most markable player right 808 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 2: now in college basketball by leap years? It is Caitlin Clark. Right, 809 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 2: We got much more coming up. This is Fox Sports Saturday, 810 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 2: rolling along on this big Saturday, Fox Sports Saturday.

The way tire 815 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 2: buying should be. If you're wondering, yew this is actually 816 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 2: happening right now, the combination of two shows, that's right. 817 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: So instead of our individual two hour shows, well we 818 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 2: have partners decided. 819 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 3: What the heck joint forces. 820 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 2: Joint forces and put a hours together. That's right. So 821 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 2: having a good time here. We've had a very busy 822 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 2: first hour. We're talking a little bit about the aftermath 823 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl. Obviously we got NBA ulst weekend. 824 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 2: It is. Well here, here's the thing about the NFL, 825 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 2: and I've learned this for many, many years, and this 826 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 2: is no disrespect to the NBA, Major League Baseball. I mean, 827 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 2: we've got golf going on not far from where we 828 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: are at at Riviera right now. Unfortunately, Tiger had to 829 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: pull out he got sick yesterday, his first tournament since 830 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: playing in last year's Masters. So they're obviously great fans 831 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: of great sports. But you know, I'm also reminded every 832 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 2: once in a while by the powers of be never 833 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 2: get too far off the NFL. 834 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 3: No, because NFL is king. 835 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 2: I mean, think about this for a moment. We were 836 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: just talking about Caitlin Clark and what was that number 837 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 2: that the Iowa LSU game I think was nine million viewers? 838 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 2: AM I right about that, Is that possible? I maybe 839 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 2: last year's game between the championship game, it put up 840 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 2: a huge number in terms of viewers. I know that 841 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 2: we had a a women's college basketball game that did 842 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 2: not even include Caitlyn. 843 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 3: You're right, because you remember everything. It was nine million, 844 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 3: nine point nine million. 845 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 2: Okay, so not almost ten to and that's that's a 846 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 2: pretty impressive number if you think about it. 847 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, the previous record for a women's tournament was five 848 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 4: point seven. 849 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So that was for a championship game featuring Kaitlin Clark, 850 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: who was getting a lot of notoriety going into that game, 851 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: and so there are a lot of curious, you know, 852 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,959 Speaker 2: eyeballs to see Caitlin Clark in action against LSU. Nine 853 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: point nine million. Forget the Super Bowl. The conference championship 854 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 2: games got fifty million plus each fifty million. So you 855 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 2: can't even include the NFL and the conversation. There is 856 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 2: no comparison. You can't use the NFL as a barometer on, 857 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 2: you know, the popularity of the NFL versus other sports 858 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 2: because they're not even in the same zip code. 859 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy because I prefer I'm not gonna lie 860 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 4: to you, I prefer basketball. I love basketball, but there's 861 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 4: something about football that maybe because there's only so many 862 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 4: games and it's only on certain days, and so like 863 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 4: you just get so excited when it's Sunday because you 864 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 4: get to watch all these football games and basketball is 865 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 4: just happening, and like, I get it, but I love basketball. 866 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 4: It's my favorite. But I understand that football is king. 867 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 2: Okay, how many fantasy football teams do you normally have 868 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 2: in a year? 869 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 3: Like me, me myself wants you. I did three this 870 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: past season. 871 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 2: Three three, So that's sort of an average. Yeah, yeah, 872 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 2: you And these are teams just like during the season, 873 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: before the season. 874 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 4: Starts, yes, so belie, not before pre potential money to 875 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 4: be earned. 876 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: Yes, just just so. In other words, let's not so short. 877 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 2: Maybe the real reason the NFL has ascended to the level. 878 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 3: It's at because of gambling. 879 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 2: It's it's gambling. Yeah you think so, it's the ultimate 880 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 2: gambling sport. 881 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. So, you're right, Yeah, you're right. I 882 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 3: don't do I hate I guess. 883 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 2: It was eleven minutes of actual playing time that you 884 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 2: see every week. Yeah, eleven minutes of actual snap the 885 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 2: ball till the end of the play, add it all 886 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,240 Speaker 2: up over three hours. You had eleven minutes. 887 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 4: And you do make a really good point though about fantasy, 888 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 4: because I've done NBA fantasy and it's so much more 889 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 4: annoying than football fantasy because I have to change it 890 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 4: on the daily. When it's football, it's like once a 891 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 4: week unless somebody gets hurt and then you got to 892 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 4: go in there, right, But yeah, you're right. 893 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 3: And then baseball I've never done because. 894 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely well it's really started with rotistory baseball I remember, 895 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,240 Speaker 2: and this is back in the eighties. 896 00:44:59,360 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 3: I don't even know. 897 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, what is that? And it's an endless season, endless, 898 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 2: endless every day. Yeah, no, you know, smart gamblers and 899 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 2: baseball go unders. You know, that's sort of an easy play. 900 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 2: But nothing compares to the gambling aspect of the NFL. 901 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 2: That being said, though, they understand what works for them 902 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 2: now that they fully embrace the gambling industry and have 903 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 2: partnerships with no less than seven different gambling establishments now 904 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 2: pouring billions of dollars into the National Football League. And 905 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 2: this is why as the NFL embarks on another season, 906 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 2: that we never lose engagement because there's always something happening 907 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 2: as soon as one season is over, you move on 908 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 2: to the next season. Okay, So I do want to 909 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 2: follow up on this Super Bowl. Of course, the Chiefs 910 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 2: end up winning another Super Bowl, putting themselves in a 911 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 2: position to do something that has never been done in 912 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: the history of the Super Bowl, and that is to 913 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,359 Speaker 2: win three consecutive Super Bowl three, Pete. 914 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 3: That's exciting. I don't have anything against the Chiefs, but 915 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't care. I just I know that 916 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 3: you mentioned it in the last hour. 917 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 4: They're one of the more hated teams right now, and 918 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,479 Speaker 4: it's because they're so good. 919 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 2: The most hated too. 920 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 4: They are there and there is an element of the 921 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 4: Taylor Swift. Travis Kelcey adds to the hate a little bit. 922 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,479 Speaker 2: They not help for the hand. 923 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 3: Did not help. It did not help. But I you know, maybe, 924 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not against it. 925 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 10: It would be fun to see. 926 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 2: Well, Patrick Mahomes, you know, this is the thing we 927 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 2: were talking about even going into this playoff run for 928 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 2: the Chiefs because it was a unique situation we had 929 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 2: not seen before. Mahomes was gonna have to win on 930 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 2: the road and then pulls up back to back road 931 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 2: wins in Buffalo in Baltimore to get back to the 932 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 2: Super Bowl and ultimately win that game. And let's face it, 933 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 2: we watched that Super Bowl. The forty nine Ers appear 934 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 2: to be the better team for the entire half. They 935 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 2: dominated the first half, and then you're like, Chiefs get 936 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 2: the field goal right before they have and you're like, 937 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 2: why are the Chiefs still in this thing? 938 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 3: How are they still in? 939 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 2: And then the fluke punt, you know, and then all 940 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 2: of a sudden, the Chiefs had the lead. And so 941 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 2: the Chiefs found a way to win, which is what 942 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 2: great teams do. But now every team is now scrambling 943 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 2: trying to figure this out, like, all right, how do 944 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 2: we get because there was no way you could have 945 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 2: envisioned that Patrick Mahomes, who is like a five hundred 946 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 2: quarterback in college at Texas Tech, would become this quarterback. 947 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 2: Think about it. He is fifteen and three now in 948 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 2: the playoffs in his career, and two of those losses 949 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 2: were in overtime. 950 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 4: And this season to me was the most impressive because 951 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 4: of who he had around him. 952 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 3: We saw they lost on Christmas Day to the Raiders. 953 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 3: I had dismiss them. 954 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 4: I think I put in the predictions like out on 955 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 4: a limb, that thing we filled out before the season. 956 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 4: I was like, Chiefs don't win the division. I thought 957 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 4: they were just not going to be successful. And how 958 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 4: many drop passes his received just all season? It was 959 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 4: problem after problem he exploded. We saw him lose it, 960 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,720 Speaker 4: which we had never seen before. The wins this season 961 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 4: for Patrick Mahomes to meet have really solidified him. You 962 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 4: can't you can't say he's not top one, top two, 963 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 4: however you. 964 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 10: Want to say it. 965 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 2: So you would already put him in the conversation with 966 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 2: Tom Brady. 967 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 3: I really would. 968 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 10: How do you not? How do you not? 969 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 2: Well, A lot of people say, simple Brady has seven 970 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl championships, ten Super Bowl appearances to three and four. 971 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 4: And that's perfectly fair. That is a great argument. You 972 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 4: watch Mahomes and you watch and you're in awe. You 973 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 4: are in awe watching him, especially this year. I think 974 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 4: that's what it was for me this year, because I 975 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 4: had dismissed him so long ago. 976 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 2: No I I The ironing for me was I dismissed 977 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 2: him a year ago when Tyreek Hill left right because 978 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 2: I thought, all right, he's had this insane advantage of 979 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,359 Speaker 2: having two of the most dynamic receivers and Tyreek Kill 980 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey and his defenses were prepare for the Chiefs. 981 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 2: Got to pick your poison. Yeah, can't double them all up. 982 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,240 Speaker 2: So you know, Tyreek Killed the most dangerous wide receiver 983 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 2: in the game because of the speed factor. And Travis 984 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: Kelcey his legacy speaks for itself. So if you lose 985 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, Okay, now we'll just focus on Travis Kelcey. 986 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 2: Still doesn't work. I mean, Kelsey sat there at halftime 987 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 2: with one catch for one yard. Yep, he ended up 988 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 2: with nine catches in the game, and as the game 989 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 2: wore on, he just seemed like he was open. Yeah, 990 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 2: And you're like it was sort of like the mis 991 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 2: block on Chris Jones and that over time, Like, how 992 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,800 Speaker 2: does that happen? How is it that you run a 993 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 2: play if you're the forty nine ers and no one 994 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 2: blocks Chris Jones? How does that happen? You know, I 995 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 2: don't brain fart under those circumstances. 996 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of, right, 997 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 4: it was a brain fart in the moment, not saying 998 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 4: it was the right moment to have a brain fart, 999 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 4: but that's the only thing that would make sense. 1000 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 2: Well, then this is why the hate starts building, because 1001 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,279 Speaker 2: much like the Patriots back in their hated it's like 1002 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 2: every breaks the. 1003 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, yeah, And that's what's funny. 1004 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,879 Speaker 4: It's like, it's not their fault that these teams are 1005 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 4: doing these brain farts and they're just capitalizing on it. 1006 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 2: But I've always been a believer, whether it's in teen 1007 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 2: sports or individual sports, when you have one dominant team 1008 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 2: or individual you know, everyone said, well, was it great 1009 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,280 Speaker 2: to have Tiger win every major? The answer is yeah. 1010 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 2: Or in tennis, when of Roger Federer broke before Nadal 1011 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:45,240 Speaker 2: and then you know, obviously Djokovic or Serena obviously, because 1012 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 2: you become the target. So now you have someone to beat, 1013 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 2: someone that people understand. The idea of parody to me 1014 00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 2: is not a good thing. I like dominance because what 1015 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 2: dominance does It creates a target in your sport, and 1016 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 2: then if they get knocked off, now you've got a story. 1017 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 2: The guys. As a young kid, I watched the UCLA 1018 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 2: basketball dynasty. Think about this, and they won ten championships 1019 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,280 Speaker 2: in twelve years, but they won seven in a row. 1020 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 2: In those seven years. They lost a total of five games. 1021 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds annoying at five. 1022 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:32,959 Speaker 2: Games in seven years, So any loss was a huge story, right, 1023 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 2: what's more so than hey, well this team won this year, 1024 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 2: this team, we forget these one and Dones. 1025 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 3: I agree with you because hating the Lakers was so. 1026 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 4: Fun, you know, when they were dominant. I would watch 1027 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 4: Laker games just to watch them lose. But that was fun. 1028 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:52,959 Speaker 4: When it's not like that. 1029 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 3: You're right, it's like, why am I tuning in if 1030 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 3: there's no stakes here? 1031 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 2: When the Rams? You remember when the Rams beat the 1032 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 2: Bengals in the Super Bowl ready. 1033 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 10: For You're right? No, I mean I know it. 1034 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 2: I remember when Tampa won because Tom Brady. 1035 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 4: Went because Tom Brady won, and it was that I remember, 1036 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 4: But you're right, I watched that game. 1037 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 2: I mean, unless you're a Rams fan or a suffering Bang, no, 1038 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 2: he's gonna remember that. 1039 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 3: No, No, And so you don't have to be a 1040 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 3: fan of these dominant teams. But guess what, you're invested. 1041 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 3: You're invested one where or another. 1042 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 2: It's good to go into a game with hate. Like 1043 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 2: I said, I am anything but a forty nine er fan. Yeah, no, 1044 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,760 Speaker 2: I'm a Southern California sports fan and they're a Northern 1045 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: California team. From a very early age, I was a 1046 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 2: Dodger fan. You hate the Giants, right. 1047 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,759 Speaker 3: And I made a point about this, Steve. 1048 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 4: I was like, you can't be a Dodgers fan wearing 1049 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 4: a San Francisco forty nine Ers jersey. 1050 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 12: No. 1051 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 3: I was like, this is you. 1052 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 2: You can't, you cannot. But I found myself rooting for 1053 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers. 1054 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 3: I was not I was not rooting for anyone. 1055 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 4: I just I was like, it would be cool if 1056 00:52:58,520 --> 00:52:59,799 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes pulls this off. 1057 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 3: And it also it's great for the forty nine ers 1058 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:02,760 Speaker 3: to get this one. 1059 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 2: Do you guys remember my prop bet for the Super 1060 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 2: Bowl the team that scores first or the team that 1061 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 2: gets the ball first will score a touchdown. 1062 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 3: Yes, said that. 1063 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 2: So the forty nine ers get the ball first, and 1064 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 2: they were going right down the field and I'm like, 1065 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 2: I am going to be crowing next week on this one. 1066 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 1: Then. 1067 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, Christian McCaffrey for all people, Christian mccaffy, four people, 1068 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey fumble, what does he ever fumble? Not ever, 1069 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 2: except that this is what I knew because all you 1070 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 2: guys you had twenty four to twenty one chiefs. 1071 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 3: I did, Soda Rich, Yes, we both did. 1072 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 2: And I had twenty four to twenty one forty nine ers. 1073 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1074 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,440 Speaker 2: But when McCaffrey fumbled that ball, I'm like. 1075 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 3: Uh, was that the moment you knew? 1076 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 2: This is when I knew?

Did you say them 1079 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 2: undermoved on this one? So we were sitting at forty 1080 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,320 Speaker 2: seven and a half. So the final score was twenty 1081 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 2: five twenty two stayed under, but by kickoff the over 1082 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 2: under was forty six and a half. So that final 1083 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 2: touchdown put it over. 1084 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 10: Wow. 1085 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 2: While we are talking, it was un under.

You know, I like today more 1107 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,800 Speaker 4: than the actual game. Back then, the game was more exciting. 1108 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 4: But you know, defense isn't really a thing anymore, so. 1109 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 2: Well you don't appreciate, you know, one eighty to one 1110 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 2: eighty two or. 1111 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 3: No, I don't know, make it one on one. Maybe 1112 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 3: it would be more exciting. 1113 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 4: I don't know, but yeah, I prefer Saturday All Star 1114 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 4: festivities versus the actual game on Sunday. 1115 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 2: Take it from someone that has actually been around so long. 1116 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 2: I actually remember when it was played like a normal game. 1117 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 2: The idea being is you are chosen as one of 1118 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 2: the best players in the game, and now you're going 1119 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 2: to get an opportunity to play against the best player 1120 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 2: in the game in a legitimate basketball game, to see 1121 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 2: who actually is the best player. 1122 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 3: That's the word. When did it become not a legitimate 1123 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 3: basketball game? 1124 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we've just seen an evolution of this 1125 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 2: game over the last I don't know, ten years or so, 1126 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 2: maybe even longer than that. 1127 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 4: But why Because I remember I was little, but my brothers, 1128 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,880 Speaker 4: you know, I grew up watching basketball, and I remember 1129 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 4: the intense All Star games that would happen, and all 1130 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 4: of them in their own jerseys, and I would always 1131 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 4: be like, oh my god, how do you not get confused? 1132 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 4: Everyone's wearing their own jersey. I would be so confused 1133 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 4: as to want throwing the ball too. But it was 1134 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 4: always super exciting and it always went I mean like 1135 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 4: it was sometimes not exciting because the West. 1136 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,760 Speaker 3: Would win a lot. I remember when I was little, 1137 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 3: sure the West would win a lot, but it was 1138 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 3: still fun to watch because it looked like a legitimate 1139 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 3: game rights. 1140 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 2: And it meant something that'd be being an All Star 1141 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 2: game MVP. I mean, last year we had Jason Tatum 1142 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 2: put up fifty five. Yeah, I mean, come on, it's 1143 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 2: ridiculous breaking Anthony Davis is regular fifty two. That's the 1144 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,640 Speaker 2: one thing when we had Mark Median on our NBA inside, 1145 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,359 Speaker 2: I was going to ask anybody you're going to break that? Right? 1146 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 2: Seems like every year now, every year, who's going to 1147 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 2: be the first to score sixty? 1148 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 5: Somebody? 1149 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 3: You know, you know somebody already has that. 1150 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 2: On your mind. They're thinking about if they get that 1151 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 2: hot hand. I want to detour though, back to football 1152 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 2: for a moment here, because this is the year that 1153 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 2: we are going to debut starting next month the UFL. 1154 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 2: The UFL is a merger of the USFL and the XFL, 1155 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 2: which are both in existence for a year. And there's 1156 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 2: four teams from one of the leagues, I think three 1157 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 2: from the other. And they emerged like a Houston team 1158 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 2: that was made up of players from both leagues into 1159 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 2: one team. Okay, this is and they're not trying to 1160 00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 2: say this is a major league. It's a minor league. 1161 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 2: And there's an agreement with the NFL for an opportunity 1162 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 2: for the NFL to maybe test a few things. Now, 1163 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 2: this is sort of a testing ground, much as minor 1164 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 2: league baseball is a testing ground for Major League Baseball. 1165 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 2: You know, the pitching clock, this was something that was 1166 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 2: going on in minor league baseball. 1167 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 3: I was pitch con also, like, yeah, so a. 1168 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 2: Lot of that. Now, if we're going to get to 1169 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 2: the umpire situation, that's that's what I'm witting. 1170 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, for real. 1171 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 2: Though, because I would love to eliminate umpires completely. 1172 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 3: I can meet you halfway. Not completely, but yes, there has. 1173 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 2: Now that we don't. We don't not when we have 1174 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 2: the gambling aspect of the game. Okay, here's here's the 1175 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 2: point about I'm getting detoured here, but this is the 1176 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:46,439 Speaker 2: difference between umpiring Major League Baseball and being an NBA 1177 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 2: official or an NFL referee. In the NFL, you have 1178 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 2: penalties in basketball. You have fouls in baseball. There's three 1179 00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 2: things strike ball, fair, foul, safe out. All of these 1180 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 2: can be done electronically. 1181 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:09,440 Speaker 4: They really can. And that's undeniable. So there's accurate with 1182 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 4: when we talk about accuracy. We watched these tennis matches 1183 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty. 1184 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 2: Five million an hour serves and they review and it 1185 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 2: shows by a slither that had touched the line there's 1186 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 2: no argument and there isn't there's no argument, so that 1187 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 2: now that the Joe West of the world have finally retired, 1188 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 2: I think we can move on from that. I know 1189 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: people are like, no, they no, that's that's something to 1190 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 2: move on from. But the idea of a of a 1191 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 2: sort of a league for the NFL, and by the way, 1192 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 2: to have the rock is you know, sort of the 1193 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 2: face in the league is a positive. I mean, he's 1194 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 2: wildly popular, obviously was his ar wrestler, but even more 1195 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 2: so is it just a celebrity somebody that a lot 1196 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 2: of people have urged to run for or president like 1197 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 2: and you know, he's very smart. It's like when they 1198 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 2: asked Oprah or some other universally loved figure to run 1199 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 2: for public office, they said, why would I alienate half 1200 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 2: of my fans? Makes a good point not going to 1201 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 2: do that. He's smart about that. But I think this 1202 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 2: is going to be nice, and I again keeping things 1203 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 2: in perspective for you gamblers out there, there'll be a 1204 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 2: gambling element in this game. In fact, one of the 1205 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 2: things I liked them to do with this UFL is 1206 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 2: to experiment in terms of the gambling aspect at the stadiums. 1207 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, right anymore. 1208 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 2: Well, let's say that you went to a game, an 1209 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 2: NFL game, m hm, and you could actually place wagers 1210 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,440 Speaker 2: in real time as the game is going for the 1211 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 2: comfort of your own seat. 1212 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 3: I do like that because I was going to tell 1213 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:52,360 Speaker 3: you I have no interest in this. 1214 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 2: Or on top of that, we actually have betting windows 1215 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 2: like at the horse race stack in the stadiums when 1216 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 2: you could place bad as the game is going on. 1217 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 4: You just made me interested. I'm not gonna I was 1218 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 4: just gonna be like, I am not gonna be watching 1219 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 4: these games. I have no interest. I don't know if 1220 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 4: it's like Psycho. 1221 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 2: If you had a financial making You're right, you're right. 1222 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 3: But you know, because like we were just talking about 1223 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 3: how busy it is during football season, and once football 1224 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 3: season stops, you kind of like take a break. 1225 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 4: And so I have no intention to watch this. I'm 1226 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 4: gonna be watching other things. But what you just said 1227 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 4: spices things up, and then. 1228 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 2: And then you you throw other elements out there in 1229 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 2: terms of rules changes, rule experimenting and stuff like that. 1230 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 2: And of course, from the NFL standpoint, it serves a 1231 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 2: purpose much like the old NFL Europe did. That was 1232 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,560 Speaker 2: around for a long time, and it served as a 1233 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 2: minor league. You know, Kurt Warner played in that NFL Europe, 1234 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 2: and so every once in a while you would do 1235 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 2: you miss somebody, and then you see them in action 1236 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 2: playing in these minor leagues, and then you can then 1237 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 2: obviously elevate them up to the NFL. So I think, honestly, 1238 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 2: as long as they stay in their lane, which I 1239 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 2: know they're going to. 1240 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 3: Because they don't want to ruffle feathers. 1241 01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 2: No, no, no. The leagues that have failed have been 1242 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 2: the ones that have actually tried to take on the NFL. Yeah, 1243 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 2: that can be a problem. The original USFL back in 1244 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 2: the mid eighties, it was around when I actually worked 1245 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 2: was with the Raiders, and some great players came out 1246 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 2: of that league. Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Reggie White, future 1247 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 2: Hall of famers in the NFL all started their careers 1248 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 2: in this league. But then they had this owner of 1249 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 2: bry buy In named Donald Trump, and instead of staying 1250 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 2: in their lane, he wanted to take on the NFL 1251 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 2: head to head and that was the end of that league. 1252 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yep, So they don't want to do that. 1253 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,479 Speaker 2: They don't want to do that just stay in their lane. 1254 01:02:54,680 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 2: Let's find out what is trending right now. And I 1255 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 2: know you're going to be a big UFL fan, Martin, 1256 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 2: Is that right? 1257 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 11: I wanted to ask you that, Steve so because you 1258 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 11: guys were talking about, like you know, Oprah and Solo 1259 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,439 Speaker 11: running for president. I thought immediately went to the last 1260 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 11: television start I ran for president. If he never buys 1261 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 11: into the USFL, what do you think is like the 1262 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 11: next five years of USF for football? 1263 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 2: Because, like you said. 1264 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 11: That league had a ton of talent obviously that could 1265 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 11: play at a high NFL level, as you saw when 1266 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 11: they got into the NFL. 1267 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 2: Well here it was what was interesting about this. So 1268 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty seven, two years after the USFL folded 1269 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 2: after a three year existence, is when the NFL had 1270 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 2: replacement games. There was a strike. I still cannot believe 1271 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 2: this because I was in the middle of all this. 1272 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 2: You had at that time, I believe thirty NFL teams 1273 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 2: and they had one week off to replace their entire rosters. 1274 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 2: Can you imagine that right now? No, So, thirty NFL 1275 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 2: teams shut down for one week to replace their entire 1276 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 2: rosters and then get back out on the field. Well, 1277 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 2: a lot of those guys were guys that were left, 1278 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 2: you know, without a job after the demise of the USFL. Look, 1279 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 2: there's always a lot of talent out there, you know. 1280 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 2: So much of football is like right place, right time, 1281 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 2: right scheme, right situation, whether or not you succeed in 1282 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 2: the game. So I mean again, as long as the 1283 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 2: probably again with the un you're not going to take 1284 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 2: on the NFL heads. That's absolute insanity. And that was 1285 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 2: the problem with them thanks to the large part to 1286 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's involvement in that league. But I think they 1287 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,720 Speaker 2: would have succeeded because they were signing talent out of college. 1288 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:50,400 Speaker 2: They signed herschel Walker, they signed Doug Flutie. They all 1289 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 2: these stars that came out of college were getting bigger 1290 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 2: money offers from the USFL, and that's why they signed there. 1291 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: That's why they had a chance. But just like the 1292 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 2: AFL started in the sixties, they were signing star players 1293 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 2: away from the league. Finally, the NFL is the one 1294 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,959 Speaker 2: that weighed the flag and said, you know what, let's 1295 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:09,760 Speaker 2: merge the leagues. 1296 01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 11: And you said that was ninety one with the USFL 1297 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 11: when Trump bought into it. 1298 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 2: Is that running out no No, that league was eighty 1299 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 2: three to eighty five, eight three eighty five, eight three 1300 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 2: to eighty five. 1301 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 11: Trying through the math on like when Fox ended up 1302 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 11: getting the NFL contract and knowing how how the NFL 1303 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:25,800 Speaker 11: is the biggest TV show in the world. 1304 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 2: Say back in that in those days, And I can 1305 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 2: just tell you when I was working with the Raiders, 1306 01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 2: we had eight people in our front office in La 1307 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 2: eight you know, La Sall Town World back in those days, 1308 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 2: to say the least. So yeah, you would have loved 1309 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 2: that time. Mark, I'm telling you, Oh, I'm sure there's 1310 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 2: no eyeballs on you in those days, no social media 1311 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 2: or anything else. We got away with murder. I get 1312 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 2: to share stories, but. 1313 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 11: I really if you got if you literally got away 1314 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 11: with murder, you should probably keep going to yourself. 1315 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 2: The other thing's happening at that time, I really got 1316 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:02,080 Speaker 2: on the shore. 1317 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 11: Tiger Woods conferred to the earlier report that illness was 1318 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 11: the reason he withdrew from the Genesis Invitational. Yesterday, he 1319 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 11: described his sickness as influenza on his action count.

But now I'm going back to 1349 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 2: you guys. You know, it's a very quick follow up 1350 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:41,280 Speaker 2: on Lefty Grizel. Some will tell you that the greatest 1351 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 2: college basketball game ever played was the ACCED championship game 1352 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy four. I know that's a thousand years ago. 1353 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 2: This game was an overtime game in NC State beat Maryland, 1354 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 2: coached by Lefty Grizzel, one three to one hundred. What 1355 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 2: was significant about this game, well that NC State team 1356 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 2: went on to win the national championship, beating UCLA in 1357 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:13,080 Speaker 2: the final four and snapping their seven year run as 1358 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,600 Speaker 2: NCAA champions. But here was the problem. Maryland lost the 1359 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 2: ACC championship game. There was no runner ups invited to 1360 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:28,840 Speaker 2: the tournament. So you know a lot of people say, well, 1361 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 2: g and Allo, it was a lot easier in those days. 1362 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,639 Speaker 2: You had to win your conference championship to even get 1363 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,639 Speaker 2: in the tournament. So here was Maryland arguably the second 1364 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 2: or third best team in the country. They lose an 1365 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,800 Speaker 2: overtime in the ACC championship game and they didn't get 1366 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,800 Speaker 2: to play in the NCA tournament because only the conference 1367 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 2: champion got to play in the conference tournament. So different time, 1368 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,640 Speaker 2: but that I've seen highlights of that game. Man, that 1369 01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 2: was that was some A lot of future NBA player 1370 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 2: played in that game on both teams, So good stuff 1371 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 2: right there. Now I want to ask you this. We 1372 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 2: have among the things you're gonna watch tonight with the 1373 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 2: All Star Activities. 1374 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 13: Yes, the NBA Slam Dunk Competition.

I'm so excited about my HEIMI Hakas 1377 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 13: Junior out there, who's been outstanding rookie this year. 1378 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:34,560 Speaker 2: At the Miami Heat. You're gonna have Jacob topping the Knicks, 1379 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 2: I think. 1380 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 3: G League Knicks. 1381 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,519 Speaker 2: So he just got called up again by the Knicks. 1382 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,759 Speaker 2: This is his ledger when they say he's with the Knicks. 1383 01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 2: He has played in five games this year. He has 1384 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 2: played a total of thirty two minutes in the NBA 1385 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 2: total this year.

Your reigning 1389 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 2: champion is a career J League guy. 1390 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, but based he deserves to be there based on 1391 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:16,439 Speaker 4: what he did last year. 1392 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,600 Speaker 2: But don't you feel like you need to play in 1393 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,759 Speaker 2: the NBA to qualify to be in the NBA Slam 1394 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:24,600 Speaker 2: Dunk Competition. 1395 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 3: You know, you're being real logical here. 1396 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,360 Speaker 4: I can just try to and and I'm being emotional, 1397 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 4: that's the thing. 1398 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 3: You're being very logical. 1399 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. You fell in love, like a lot of people 1400 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,680 Speaker 2: with Mac McClung last year. 1401 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 3: I really did. 1402 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 4: He revitalized that dunk contest in a way that nobody 1403 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:43,439 Speaker 4: was expecting because it's been a snoozefest for many years, right, 1404 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 4: and he put it back on the map. Nobody knew 1405 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 4: he was and his dunks were so fun and so great. 1406 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 4: So as much as you are if this was a 1407 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 4: black and white situation, yes, Steve, you are right, it 1408 01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 4: should be NBA players, But I'm going to make this 1409 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 4: a situation. 1410 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 3: McClung should be there. 1411 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,639 Speaker 4: I agree with you about Jacob Tappin, who is Obie 1412 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 4: Tappins's younger brother, right, that that one is a little 1413 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 4: weird when I heard the name. But really this just 1414 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 4: makes me see or puts in focus. Why aren't bigger 1415 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 4: names doing this? Like I can knot get over the 1416 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 4: fact that we've never done this. 1417 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 2: You would have Michael Jordans, Dominic Wilkins. 1418 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 3: How has Lebron never done this? Not once? 1419 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,160 Speaker 4: Like all he's ever You're not gonna be in the 1420 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 4: three point shooting contest because you've never been a good shooter. 1421 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 4: So I get that one, But why have you never 1422 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:39,439 Speaker 4: participated in a single slam dunk contest? That is a 1423 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 4: disservice to the league based on just who you are 1424 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,240 Speaker 4: and the type of player you are, knowing how explosive 1425 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:45,639 Speaker 4: you are. 1426 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 3: And so I'm glad that Jalen Brown is in it. 1427 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 4: I'm really happy that Himahacker's junior is in it because 1428 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 4: he's a big rookie, he's a big. 1429 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 2: Star, He's played extremely well. 1430 01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,639 Speaker 4: I'm hoping that with like Jalen doing it this year 1431 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 4: that maybe we can. 1432 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 3: Get a couple of actual big names too. 1433 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 2: You mean like actual All Stars. 1434 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, like actual All Stars are actual big names. 1435 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 4: Because I mean, he's not explosive, but I'm just using it, 1436 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 4: using him as an example. Victor Wan Banyama, he's not 1437 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 4: an All Star, but it would have been cool to 1438 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,080 Speaker 4: see him do a slam dunk consa. It's just because 1439 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,439 Speaker 4: he's a name, right. We want the names. We want 1440 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 4: the big names, not the ones where you have to 1441 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,599 Speaker 4: look up who is this person? 1442 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 2: Mac McClung was so anonymous going into the competition last year, 1443 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:30,599 Speaker 2: like what what's happening here? 1444 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:32,559 Speaker 3: And when you saw him you were I was like. 1445 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, no, he's not what what what? 1446 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 1: What? 1447 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,719 Speaker 2: Six ers? What sire? Talking about Mac McClung. 1448 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 3: But he he does deserve to. I think, like even 1449 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 3: moving forward, if you are a champion, even if you 1450 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 3: go down to the g League, you should have the 1451 01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 3: opportunity to defend your title. 1452 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:54,439 Speaker 10: So we'll leave all that. 1453 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 2: I look at it this way. Being a great dunker 1454 01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 2: does not make a great player. It's sort of like 1455 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:03,679 Speaker 2: the in golf, they had the long drive competitions completely separate, 1456 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 2: and these are people that don't play on the PGA Tour. 1457 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 2: They're just big guys that can hit a ball three 1458 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,760 Speaker 2: miles right, And I'm entertained by that. The idea of is, 1459 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 2: if it's a long ball competition, I want to see 1460 01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 2: the guys that get hit the longest. I don't care 1461 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 2: who they are. If they do it extremely well, I'll 1462 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 2: figure out their name. Same they got with them the 1463 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,599 Speaker 2: Klung last year. I had never heard of this guy. 1464 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 2: I'm joined ninety nine poe percent of the people that 1465 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 2: watch the start of that competition.

I don't know, Like this is why 1498 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 2: I operate. I mean, I just you know, and but 1499 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,680 Speaker 2: I know you'll always have something to say. Yeah, I'm 1500 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 2: never worried about Hey, I preferably not to speak so 1501 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 2: after this All Star Game tomorrow in the NBA, we're 1502 01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 2: down to stretch. We got about twenty four, twenty three, 1503 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five games left in the NBA 1504 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 2: regular season. We're really down the stretch. You always think, 1505 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,640 Speaker 2: shouldn't it be in the middle of the year, the 1506 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 2: All Star Game? Yeah, but it's not. It's it's more 1507 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 2: towards the end of the year. That being said, it's 1508 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 2: always amazing to me how we get to that point 1509 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,200 Speaker 2: of the year where you're you're in search of stories. 1510 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,120 Speaker 2: And I have to be honest with you, a lot 1511 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,519 Speaker 2: of these insiders and sports it's not an easy job 1512 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 2: because you're under intense pressure to constantly come up with 1513 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 2: stories even if there really aren't stories. We had a 1514 01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,200 Speaker 2: prime example of this with the supposed deal that almost 1515 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,519 Speaker 2: came about Lebron James and. 1516 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 3: I didn't know what he was gonna. 1517 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 2: Say Golden State Warriors, And I'm thinking, let's just take 1518 01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 2: a step back whether there's any validity to this story 1519 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,040 Speaker 2: at all, but let's take it at the service saying, well, 1520 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 2: maybe there was something proposed. Understand the Laker organization. So 1521 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 2: the Lakers right now, even though they're playing a little 1522 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,360 Speaker 2: bit of better basketball. There's still the nine seed in 1523 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 2: the West. In other words, they're a play in tournament 1524 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 2: team right now. And yet it seems like we start 1525 01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 2: NBA news with the Lakers every time, even as the 1526 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 2: nine seed in the Western Conference. I know, now, why 1527 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 2: is that? 1528 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 3: It's just an easy out? 1529 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,920 Speaker 4: Well, it's Lebron James, right, But it's an easy out 1530 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 4: because you're right, like you just said, they are not. 1531 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 3: Their record is not great. 1532 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, Lebron is a big name, but we should be 1533 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:21,759 Speaker 4: talking about other teams. 1534 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 2: Okay, Lebron isn't just a big name. He is the 1535 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 2: biggest name, of course. Yeah, okay, So Lebron is the 1536 01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 2: biggest name in this league and has been for a 1537 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,599 Speaker 2: long long time. Whether you like Lebron or don't like Lebron. 1538 01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,720 Speaker 2: But here's how it works from the Lakers standpoint. And 1539 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,720 Speaker 2: this is an organization I know pretty well. I've known 1540 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 2: Jenie Buss a long time. The NBA, the Lakers have 1541 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 2: always been built on star power. And this goes back 1542 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,120 Speaker 2: to the very first superstar of the NBA, the big 1543 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 2: center George micn way back in the early fifties. So 1544 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 2: they've always been a star team. Jerry West elgem Baylor, 1545 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 2: Will Chamblick, have Bill Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Shot 1546 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,640 Speaker 2: and Lebron James the biggest names in the NBA, not 1547 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,559 Speaker 2: just all stars, but like you know, Mount Rushmore type guys. 1548 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 2: There is nothing that the Warriors could offer short of 1549 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 2: Steph Curry in a deal to get Lebron James, would 1550 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 2: take him out of the Laker uniform because the Lakers 1551 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 2: are sold on the idea that the biggest stars play 1552 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 2: for the Lakers. You take Lebron away, I'm sorry, Anthony 1553 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 2: Davis is not Lebron James. 1554 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not, as much as you want to push it. 1555 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 4: It was never gonna be the same. 1556 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 2: When the Lakers sign on with then Time Warner cable 1557 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 2: lader Spectrum with their cables outlet, Kobe had just blown 1558 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 2: out his achilles. They signed Kobe do a new three 1559 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,679 Speaker 2: year contract, making the highest paid player in the league, 1560 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 2: knowing full well he was not going to be the 1561 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 2: same player. Why because it was Kobe Bryant. Because it 1562 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,800 Speaker 2: was Kobe Bryant, right, and he's still going to get eyeballs. 1563 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 2: So this fantasy that somehow the Warriors are gonna put 1564 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 2: together some creative package to wrestle Lebron. That was never 1565 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 2: ever going to heaven. No, there's nothing they could offer. 1566 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 4: Yes, the Lakers are probably laughing, but I obviously that 1567 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 4: wasn't true. That was just a story, like you said, 1568 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 4: creating a story because it's kind of slow, right, Well. 1569 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,320 Speaker 2: People like to play with Just imagine, right, what are 1570 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:30,879 Speaker 2: they going to give up Klay Thompson. 1571 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 3: No, everybody, everybody in the club, including staff. Yeah, it's 1572 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 3: just Lebron. 1573 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,679 Speaker 2: By the way, think about from Lron's standpoint, the way 1574 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,640 Speaker 2: the Warriors right now, is that a better team than 1575 01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:42,759 Speaker 2: the Lakers current roster? 1576 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,880 Speaker 3: You know, the last couple of games they look a 1577 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 3: little bit better the Warriors. 1578 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,640 Speaker 2: I take the Lakers roster right now over the war 1579 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 2: they're both also rants. They're not like your Clippers. 1580 01:19:56,200 --> 01:20:00,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's right. That's a different conversation. 1581 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,640 Speaker 2: You know, I mentioned these Chiefs fans that suddenly have 1582 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,439 Speaker 2: this juggernaut. How would you react as a true Clippers 1583 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 2: fan if suddenly they became the dominant force in the NBA? 1584 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 3: I would be so obnoxious. 1585 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 2: I want more on this. This is Fox Sports Saturday. Yeah, 1586 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 2: a little bit of a change on this Saturday.

So we're making this transition. And I walk 1599 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 2: in and you had box here with a photo that 1600 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 2: had been given to you. Yes, And I didn't think 1601 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:08,479 Speaker 2: anything of it. Very nice. I sat down, did my show, 1602 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 2: and then I had to go directly here to the 1603 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 2: TV station. And as I sat in the makeup chair, 1604 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 2: the makeup lady said, why do you have glitter all 1605 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 2: over your face? And I'm like, what I said? Do 1606 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 2: I have glitter on my face? And I could, for 1607 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:31,080 Speaker 2: the life of me, I had absolutely no clue none. 1608 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 3: I bet you there's still glitter here from that day. 1609 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,479 Speaker 2: So the box had glitter in the box. 1610 01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 4: It was the gift rap was gif and it was 1611 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 4: glitter that was very fine, almost like like pixie dust, 1612 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,160 Speaker 4: you know, like you couldn't see it unless you looked 1613 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 4: at a certain angle and it shimmered. 1614 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,600 Speaker 3: It was so so just like dust. And honestly, and 1615 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 3: I didn't know. 1616 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,640 Speaker 4: But after you said that, I was like sitting the 1617 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 4: next week and I was like, oh, yeah, they're still glitter. 1618 01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 3: Here's still glitter here. For sure. 1619 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,559 Speaker 2: I was at the loss of that. So this is 1620 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,799 Speaker 2: normally a transition time, but today we united two shows 1621 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 2: in to make one big show for this Saturday. All right. 1622 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,960 Speaker 2: We've been talking a lot of NFL obviously post super Bowl, 1623 01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 2: and we'll have much more coming up as we already 1624 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,679 Speaker 2: take a glimpse of what the twenty twenty four NFL 1625 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 2: season is going to look like. And by the way, 1626 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:26,800 Speaker 2: you know, March Madness Selection Sunday is March seventeenth, which 1627 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 2: is not out of that far away. We're four weeks away, 1628 01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 2: so we're gonna get into all that. I can't wait. 1629 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,880 Speaker 2: I mean, it's an exciting time. I'm a little more 1630 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: excited now because my UCI Bruins are suddenly making it. 1631 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,600 Speaker 2: They got I mean, realistically, they're going to have to 1632 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,360 Speaker 2: win the PAC twelve tournament. They have too many losses, 1633 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 2: they don't have enough quality wins. 1634 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 3: But do you think they can do it well? 1635 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 2: I said this about a team like you. The PAC 1636 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,720 Speaker 2: twelve this year sucks. I mean Arizona's rank, but the 1637 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,960 Speaker 2: rest of the conference is just not good. So my 1638 01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 2: thinking in the PAC twelve tournament is, as long as 1639 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 2: you finished second or third, you avoid the number one 1640 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:08,240 Speaker 2: seed Arizona until a potential championship game. And if you 1641 01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,280 Speaker 2: get that far, now you just got one game. 1642 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:11,400 Speaker 10: It's true. 1643 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 2: One game. Yeah, they almost beat Arizona on the road, 1644 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,680 Speaker 2: so it's like, yeah, maybe Yeah. Mc cronin has a 1645 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,000 Speaker 2: way of, you know, sort of getting his team ready. 1646 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 2: One accounts the most. 1647 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:21,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1648 01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:25,120 Speaker 4: I've been hearing Brian Finley and Nick Cope. Yes, you know, 1649 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,360 Speaker 4: they're also super excited about it. 1650 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:28,799 Speaker 3: I've been hearing them on five seventy. 1651 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 2: That's an amazing turnaround, especially with college kids. You know, 1652 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 2: they've lost eight out of nine games after a five 1653 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 2: and two start, and now they've won eight out of nine. 1654 01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,760 Speaker 2: That's not easy to have an end season turnaround in 1655 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,639 Speaker 2: any sport, but even more so at the collegiate game 1656 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,960 Speaker 2: because you're young. You get down on yourself. I mean 1657 01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 2: they get they lost at Utah by like forty six 1658 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 2: points or some ridiculous blowout loss, and you're a young 1659 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,040 Speaker 2: player and you're looking at each other, especially since they 1660 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,559 Speaker 2: have a lot of foreign players from different countries and 1661 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 2: everything else, and and it's ugly, and you know, the 1662 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 2: coach and the fans are booing and yeah and all 1663 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 2: and the coaches somehow can get in there. I'm a 1664 01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,320 Speaker 2: huge mccronin fan. I just I just like, I like 1665 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:14,840 Speaker 2: his demeanor, and I hope he stays that's my concern. Yeah, 1666 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,639 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of schools all of a sudden 1667 01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 2: very interested in hiring mccronin. 1668 01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to keep the players believing in themselves. 1669 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,880 Speaker 3: Because we just said collegiate level. It's different. It's just different, 1670 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:27,679 Speaker 3: much different momentum. 1671 01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 2: Speaking of turning things around in the middle of the season, 1672 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 2: who's done a beggar to turn around the Doc rivers? Okay, 1673 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 2: so lot. So let's by the way, Doc is going 1674 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,680 Speaker 2: to be coaching the Eastern All Stars tomorrow and. 1675 01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:40,720 Speaker 3: He deserves it. 1676 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:45,280 Speaker 2: So let's review again this year's version of the Milwaukee Bucks, 1677 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,759 Speaker 2: just a couple of years removed from winning their second 1678 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,960 Speaker 2: ever NBA championship. So they bring in Adrian Griffin as 1679 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 2: their coach, and they're sitting at thirty and thirteen and 1680 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 2: the number two team in the Eastern comp differ instant 1681 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,479 Speaker 2: sounds good to me, and they fire him. Yeah. Now, 1682 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 2: just on the surface there, because it wasn't like I 1683 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,200 Speaker 2: was following the Bucks all that closely at that point 1684 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,759 Speaker 2: of the year. But I'm thinking that seems curious. 1685 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:14,320 Speaker 3: Everybody thought the same thing. 1686 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 2: First year on the job, thirty and thirteen. Somebody's not 1687 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 2: happy with him, obviously, obviously, and your biggest star is Yannis. 1688 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 2: So my immediate thought is Yanis goes to management and says, yeah, 1689 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 2: we need to get rid of this guy. 1690 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,919 Speaker 3: Wasn't just your immedia thought. Everyone's a media thought, because 1691 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:41,040 Speaker 3: like it was sudden and you were in second place 1692 01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 3: and a first year and we hadn't been hearing that 1693 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 3: things were going bad in the locker room. There was 1694 01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 3: no story about that. It just came out they fired 1695 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,800 Speaker 3: the coach, and I was like, wait, what, who who 1696 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:52,559 Speaker 3: fired their coach? 1697 01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 10: What are we doing? 1698 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:54,640 Speaker 3: So I wasn't just you. 1699 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 4: Everyone's thought went to, oh, Yannis asks for them to 1700 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 4: remove him. 1701 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 2: Well, it's only half the question. So the first part 1702 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,760 Speaker 2: of the question is why would you fire this guy 1703 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,479 Speaker 2: if you're sitting at thirty and thirteen. But to me, 1704 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,680 Speaker 2: the bigger question is, all right, if you're going to 1705 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 2: fire him, why are you hiring Doc Rivers? 1706 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 3: And so fast like it was like they already knew that. 1707 01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 2: Well, and that's the point. But I want to get 1708 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 2: back to Doc Rivers because he is one coach in 1709 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:31,040 Speaker 2: this NBA that I've had interaction with, covering the Clippers 1710 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 2: back in the day quite a bit for local television, 1711 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,479 Speaker 2: and it was at a time when the Lakers are 1712 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 2: going sideways and have Mike D'Antoni as their coach. I 1713 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,600 Speaker 2: can tell you this about Mike D'Antoni. He's a pill, Okay. 1714 01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,479 Speaker 2: He's one of those coaches that if you're a member 1715 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 2: of the media, no, not a fan, not a fan, 1716 01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 2: not a fan, not a fan at all. He was 1717 01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,479 Speaker 2: one of those guys that if you were to ask 1718 01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,439 Speaker 2: him something that he didn't want to answer, instead of 1719 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 2: just saying like, I have no comment on that, he 1720 01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 2: would give you the staredown. I got a lot of those, 1721 01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:13,799 Speaker 2: you know, and so it would be the staredown before 1722 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,719 Speaker 2: he would then entertain the next. 1723 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 3: Question type of thing, and so he just wouldn't answer. 1724 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,760 Speaker 3: He would just stay and that was the answer pretty much. 1725 01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 2: Oh okay. Doc Rivers engages with the media, honestly, unlike 1726 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:33,200 Speaker 2: any coach I've ever seen in the NBA. It didn't 1727 01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 2: matter if the Clippers won or lost a game. He 1728 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:41,639 Speaker 2: was ready to engage with the media. And by the way, 1729 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 2: don't don't play this down because members of the media, 1730 01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 2: as much as they like to make themselves, and I'm 1731 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,240 Speaker 2: talking about those that are the daily you know, covering 1732 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 2: a team, and I was semi doing that for TV 1733 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,360 Speaker 2: locally in LA. But I'm talking about those day in 1734 01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 2: and day writers that you know, have to you know, 1735 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: write stories every day. To have a coach that will 1736 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 2: engage with you goes a long way, yep, not only 1737 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:09,840 Speaker 2: in terms of the relationship you have with the media, 1738 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:14,080 Speaker 2: but also how they then perceive you to the public. 1739 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,960 Speaker 2: So Doc Rivers sim seemingly got elevated to this upper 1740 01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,600 Speaker 2: echelon of best coaches in the NBA. Then he had 1741 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 2: won that one championship with Boston. But if you look 1742 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 2: at his time with the Clippers and then his time 1743 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,320 Speaker 2: with the seventy six ers, in both cases he was 1744 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 2: handed already made team. 1745 01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. The Clippers one as a fan was really right. 1746 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 2: Finny del Nagro, I think, won fifty five games this 1747 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:42,759 Speaker 2: last year. They thought they were getting this major upgrade 1748 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 2: because they're bringing in a championship coach, Doc Rivers, who'd 1749 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:51,599 Speaker 2: won a championship with the Celtics, and they went stagnant. 1750 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 2: He's the only coach ever to have blown a three 1751 01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 2: to one series lead in the playoffs, not once, not twice, yeah, 1752 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:03,440 Speaker 2: three times. 1753 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1754 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 4: And you know what I think at the time, as 1755 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,559 Speaker 4: Clipper fans, maybe didn't put the blame too much on 1756 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,519 Speaker 4: Doc Rivers because the whole Donald Donald Sterling was thing 1757 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:17,360 Speaker 4: was happening, you know, And so I always, I always 1758 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 4: blamed Sterling to be the negative factor influence at the 1759 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 4: worst time for the Clippers when we had such a 1760 01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 4: great team. 1761 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 3: I always at the time blamed him. 1762 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,800 Speaker 4: Now a couple of years removed, you look at the 1763 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 4: situation and it's like, man, maybe it wasn't Donald Sterling. 1764 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,040 Speaker 4: Maybe it was Doc Rivers not being able to finish 1765 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 4: the job. 1766 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,880 Speaker 2: Well, while many Clipper fans oversaw this, I was calling 1767 01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:48,400 Speaker 2: attention to it almost on an annual basis. I'm like, 1768 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:53,240 Speaker 2: are you seeing a pattern? Yeah, that's happening every single year. 1769 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,120 Speaker 2: And then he goes to Philadelphia again, already made team 1770 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 2: with the idea like, all right, we've we've plateau. Now 1771 01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,800 Speaker 2: we need to get to that championship level. Let's bring 1772 01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,880 Speaker 2: in Doc Rivers. Yeah, they sat an idle for three 1773 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:12,200 Speaker 2: more years. So I'm just curious why the Bucks, having 1774 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 2: plenty of time to evaluate Doc rivers impact or lack 1775 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,960 Speaker 2: of impact on taking teams to a championship level, why 1776 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,960 Speaker 2: they ignored that and thought, yeah, this is the guy 1777 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,719 Speaker 2: because since taking over is the head coach of the Bucks, 1778 01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 2: a team that was thirty and thirteen when they fired 1779 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 2: their first coach, they are three and seven. Yeah, and 1780 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,880 Speaker 2: by the way, last game before the All Star break, 1781 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:41,400 Speaker 2: embarrassing to the Grizzlies, who. 1782 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,960 Speaker 4: Have nobody playing right now. Remember I think it was 1783 01:30:45,320 --> 01:30:48,000 Speaker 4: a recent Sunday. I may have said it in an 1784 01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 4: update with you and Richard. I was like, there's thirteen 1785 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,720 Speaker 4: players injured, they have five players on ten day contracts. 1786 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 4: They just pulled this guy off the street, like they 1787 01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 4: literally don't even have a team. 1788 01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 3: Team and you lose going into the All Star break. 1789 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,560 Speaker 2: Well, and then he calls out the team saying a 1790 01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 2: lot of these guys had their foots halfway to Cabo. 1791 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,719 Speaker 3: Okay, that's that. That makes it better. 1792 01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:13,559 Speaker 2: Well, if that's the case, who's to blame? 1793 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:14,160 Speaker 10: Right? 1794 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,680 Speaker 2: This is this is if you have a team that 1795 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:23,400 Speaker 2: has checked out, why are you there? 1796 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 4: It's almost like he's their friend, not their coach. Clearly 1797 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 4: he is liked because we just you just went through it. 1798 01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 4: He keeps getting jobs. Players obviously like him. And this 1799 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,400 Speaker 4: hiring of Doc Rivers happened within twenty four hours, so 1800 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 4: you already had this plan. This was we are You 1801 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:45,880 Speaker 4: already knew what you were gonna do. You were not 1802 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 4: gonna talk to anybody else. And we can only assume 1803 01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:54,120 Speaker 4: that Jannistokopo Damian Lillard agreed to this hiring. So obviously 1804 01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:57,679 Speaker 4: like players like him as a person, he's a he's 1805 01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 4: probably more of a friend to them than he is 1806 01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 4: a head coach. 1807 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Damian Lillard. So when the Bucks go 1808 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:08,760 Speaker 2: to Portland and Damian Lillard is openly talking about the 1809 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,320 Speaker 2: fact that his heart basically he's always going to remain 1810 01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 2: in Portland and that it wouldn't be out of the 1811 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 2: question if he ends his career as a Portland Trailblazer. 1812 01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 2: You haven't done your job to incorporate him within your organization. 1813 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't do your job when Damian Lillard was 1814 01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,320 Speaker 4: taking the ball out and giving it to Jannis when 1815 01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,599 Speaker 4: they were down by three, when Damien should have been 1816 01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:36,080 Speaker 4: receiving the inbound not giving the that. 1817 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 3: I forgot what happened. You just brought me back to 1818 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:38,599 Speaker 3: that moment. 1819 01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 4: It was a terrible that right, There's why you're there, 1820 01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 4: Doc Rivers, to say, hey, no, no, no, no, no, somebody else 1821 01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:47,760 Speaker 4: give the ball to Damian Lillard, don't take it out, 1822 01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,080 Speaker 4: and Joannis had no intention to give it back to Damian. 1823 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:53,040 Speaker 3: You know, like that wasn't the play. How was that 1824 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:53,799 Speaker 3: not the play? 1825 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:55,480 Speaker 2: Why did you fire Boonholzer? 1826 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 10: Why did you fire Boonenholzer? 1827 01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,639 Speaker 2: I don't know. Didn't he win a championship? Yeah no, 1828 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,719 Speaker 2: not like ten years ago. No, or in the case 1829 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:09,759 Speaker 2: of Doc Rivers winning had championship sixteen years ago in Boston. 1830 01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,519 Speaker 2: I mean that has no relevance. 1831 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 3: And winning Coach of the Year his first year, Right, 1832 01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:18,519 Speaker 3: didn't he win Coach of the Year's first year? 1833 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,559 Speaker 2: That was so he was with the Orlando Magic. This 1834 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,559 Speaker 2: was a legendary coach. It might have been. Was certainly 1835 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 2: the best coaching job of Doc Rivers' career. The funny 1836 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 2: thing was he beat out Phil Jackson. That was the 1837 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,640 Speaker 2: year that Phil came to the Lakers. Of course, the 1838 01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:36,599 Speaker 2: votes regular season, but the Lakers won a championship that 1839 01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,760 Speaker 2: year and they gave it to Doc Rivers on like 1840 01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,959 Speaker 2: this five hundred team. But it was a remarkable coaching job. 1841 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 1: It really was. 1842 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,160 Speaker 2: But again, Doc is one of those guys. I can 1843 01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 2: imagine you bring him in for an interview and he 1844 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:53,639 Speaker 2: just blows you away, right, he blows you away. 1845 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 3: What you just said about the media. In comparison to 1846 01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:56,000 Speaker 3: other coaches that. 1847 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 2: You've been around, there's nothing like Doc Rivers. 1848 01:33:58,280 --> 01:33:59,320 Speaker 3: There's a charisma. 1849 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:04,679 Speaker 2: The charisma sales, there's a level intelligence. It makes sense. 1850 01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:09,160 Speaker 2: He speaks in terms that you get. He engages, he 1851 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:11,519 Speaker 2: does all the right things to work with the media, 1852 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 2: but it's not translating into winning games. He's not a 1853 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:16,559 Speaker 2: championship level coach. 1854 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and not winning games when it matters the. 1855 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,160 Speaker 2: Most, but the most I don't know what the Bucks 1856 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,360 Speaker 2: are gonna do after this, because obviously, if it doesn't 1857 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:25,960 Speaker 2: get any better and they go out in the first 1858 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,599 Speaker 2: round the playoffs, I mean, I don't know what you're 1859 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 2: gonna do. 1860 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:34,280 Speaker 4: They're gonna fire him and then what Hire Bill Belichick 1861 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:36,720 Speaker 4: or bring back Bud. 1862 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:39,839 Speaker 2: I want to get to your clippers though. Oh yeah, 1863 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,880 Speaker 2: the hottest team in the NBA since December first? Is 1864 01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 2: this the year finally, finally that Mancy Belanos is gonna 1865 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 2: say we are the champions? Yeah? 1866 01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:58,000 Speaker 3: I will be so obnoxious and annoying if that happens. 1867 01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,960 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna ask you about that, because aren't you there? 1868 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,120 Speaker 2: Hold on, well, I know Bo has to weigh in 1869 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 2: on this as well.

But you know, I 1892 01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:16,040 Speaker 2: should have known it was set to a big day 1893 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,960 Speaker 2: before the super Bowl. It was no time, obviously. But 1894 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,559 Speaker 2: now that the season is in our rear view mirror, 1895 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:23,720 Speaker 2: it is time to catch up with the one and 1896 01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:27,720 Speaker 2: only our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider, Adam Kaplan Is 1897 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 2: Johnny is right now, Adam?

We also had a 1904 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:47,120 Speaker 2: song called Monkey Pyromania. 1905 01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,000 Speaker 3: I would really just like to be a fly on 1906 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:51,360 Speaker 3: the wall. 1907 01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 2: There was a doctor Krenna who had an unusual dilemma. 1908 01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:58,600 Speaker 2: He liked to set monkeys on fire. How were you 1909 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 2: guys smoking something? And then we another pass on why not? 1910 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:07,719 Speaker 2: Why not? Did wow? Did it? Yeah? Okay, So anyway, 1911 01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,280 Speaker 2: that's a thousand years ago. Let's let's get to the 1912 01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:11,000 Speaker 2: present here. 1913 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:12,880 Speaker 5: What you didn't know you would learn on Fox? 1914 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm full of surprise, is Adam? You know 1915 01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:18,080 Speaker 2: that hero at a lot of surprise. 1916 01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,000 Speaker 5: I didn't know about you. You know, I know where 1917 01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:20,719 Speaker 5: you were in the eighties. 1918 01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:23,040 Speaker 2: I got that had But this is back in the seventies. 1919 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 2: Is back in the seventies, way back in the day. 1920 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:29,080 Speaker 2: All right, let's you know one of the things. And 1921 01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:31,519 Speaker 2: I was talking to Mansie about this earlier. I could 1922 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:36,200 Speaker 2: not believe some of the spins on why the Chiefs 1923 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,400 Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl and the forty nine Ers lost 1924 01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,960 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. That seems so out of whack with reality. 1925 01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:45,800 Speaker 2: Everyone kept talking about the missed extra point, and I'm like, 1926 01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:50,680 Speaker 2: forget the missed extra point, how about the Chiefe punt 1927 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:55,160 Speaker 2: that hits the foot of a forty nine er freakishly 1928 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:59,280 Speaker 2: and then the receiver seeing this instead of just falling 1929 01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 2: on the ball, try to pick it up, fumbles the 1930 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,479 Speaker 2: ball away, and a play later, the Chiefs are on 1931 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,599 Speaker 2: the board and have the lead for the first time. 1932 01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,599 Speaker 2: Very reminiscent different type plays of what happened last year 1933 01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,519 Speaker 2: when Jalen Hurs just drops the ball and the Chiefs 1934 01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:17,799 Speaker 2: run in for a fluke touchdown. So consecutive years fluke 1935 01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:22,920 Speaker 2: plays that resulted in Chiefs touchdowns are the difference in 1936 01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:24,560 Speaker 2: games decided by three points. 1937 01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 12: I know, it is interesting to spin a cup came out, 1938 01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:30,280 Speaker 12: and don't forget McAffrey with the fumble when they moved 1939 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 12: the ball way downfield right to me. 1940 01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was awful. Yeah. 1941 01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:40,840 Speaker 12: I actually was watching the NFL Films doc on it 1942 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:43,439 Speaker 12: was miked up, the miked up series. So they just 1943 01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 12: put this out late this week and McCaffrey felt terrible 1944 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 12: about it. And then the Green Law Achilles tear, which 1945 01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 12: is so sad, you know, and to hear, by the way, 1946 01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:56,360 Speaker 12: you have to see this to hear Fred Warner, he 1947 01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,680 Speaker 12: broke down. It just shocked him and it hit him. 1948 01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:01,680 Speaker 12: They all knew he was towards Achilles immediately, and it 1949 01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 12: just now they overcame it to a certain degree, was 1950 01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,680 Speaker 12: anyone's game. The game went into overtime. But here's the 1951 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,960 Speaker 12: story for me for this game, Chiefs excuse mean the 1952 01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 12: Niners dominating the first half, absolutely dominating, only up ten 1953 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:16,080 Speaker 12: to three. Yeah, I agree, it should have been way more. 1954 01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:18,640 Speaker 12: And I thought Kyle Shanning was so conservative. He's a 1955 01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:21,439 Speaker 12: big balance guy. Got to run the football. Look that 1956 01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,880 Speaker 12: doesn't throw that out. Party had a great first half. 1957 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:27,439 Speaker 12: They didn't touch him, they couldn't get any pressure on him. 1958 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:29,400 Speaker 12: I'm like, boy that the Chiefs are in trouble here, 1959 01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 12: but they felt they had to run the football. 1960 01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:31,679 Speaker 5: Thought that was a mistake. 1961 01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 4: Another overreaction that we heard after the Super Bowl was 1962 01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:41,360 Speaker 4: this forty nine Ers decision in ot Adam. We did 1963 01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:44,559 Speaker 4: not Steve And I agree with the overreaction that they 1964 01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:45,519 Speaker 4: made the wrong choice. 1965 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,280 Speaker 2: I thought they made the right choice. 1966 01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:51,280 Speaker 12: Well, obviously the percentages were from one understand from analytical 1967 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,639 Speaker 12: data standpoint, were pretty even. It wasn't like so much 1968 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:59,600 Speaker 12: to one side. And quite frankly, look I had the 1969 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,960 Speaker 12: sound so I could. I completely forgot that they changed 1970 01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,120 Speaker 12: the overtime rule. See I'll be ounce with that. I 1971 01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 12: know the rules pretty well, but that one that one 1972 01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:10,960 Speaker 12: I just totally forgot. I'm like, oh, geez, okay, I 1973 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:15,000 Speaker 12: get it now. But yeah, that one the Niners to 1974 01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,120 Speaker 12: take it. That didn't bother me. I look, you got 1975 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:18,640 Speaker 12: to stop them. 1976 01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:20,280 Speaker 2: The other team's got to stop them, right, I mean, 1977 01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:23,479 Speaker 2: why don't people say nine defense was on the field 1978 01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:25,479 Speaker 2: at the end of regulation. The Chiefs had had like 1979 01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:28,599 Speaker 2: an eleven play drive. They were gassed, and by taking 1980 01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:32,000 Speaker 2: the ball first in the overtime, knowing that both teams 1981 01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,200 Speaker 2: are guaranteed to have the ball, that means if the 1982 01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:38,240 Speaker 2: game still tie, guess what next score wins and you 1983 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:42,200 Speaker 2: get the ball first. So I mean I didn't Again, 1984 01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:44,360 Speaker 2: the Peebles are right, I don't understand the rules. You 1985 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:48,040 Speaker 2: don't understand the rule. It was the right call, all right. 1986 01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:53,639 Speaker 2: So the Chiefs are looking so much like the Patriots were, like, yeah, 1987 01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:58,920 Speaker 2: they're winning championships, but it seems like every break is 1988 01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:01,840 Speaker 2: going their way. And this is what happened with the 1989 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:06,040 Speaker 2: Patriots with the Russell Wilson interception miracle come back against 1990 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,439 Speaker 2: the Falcons. The first three Super Bowl wins were all 1991 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,559 Speaker 2: three point wins. They seem to be getting every single 1992 01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,280 Speaker 2: break in these big games, and the Chiefs seem to 1993 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 2: be following suits. So how much are you buying into 1994 01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:21,479 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Let's start with the idea of becoming the 1995 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,400 Speaker 2: first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls. 1996 01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:27,599 Speaker 12: Yeah, this was not a vintage team. I did pick 1997 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,559 Speaker 12: them to get there for the season starter. I thought 1998 01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,000 Speaker 12: they'd be better than they were. The defense has been 1999 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,760 Speaker 12: the surprise boy. Steve Spagnolo who now has won his 2000 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 12: four Super Bowl remember to know seven with the Giants 2001 01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,880 Speaker 12: and obviously, as you said, three with the Chiefs. Here 2002 01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:45,800 Speaker 12: it's pretty remarkable, really good coach of steffany Ree's put 2003 01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:49,559 Speaker 12: together here. Yeah, I would say this, as long as 2004 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,559 Speaker 12: any Reid doesn't retire over the next two or three years, 2005 01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,120 Speaker 12: they're probably gonna win one or at least one or 2006 01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:58,080 Speaker 12: two more. Because when it mattered, Mahomes got the ball, 2007 01:41:58,240 --> 01:41:59,960 Speaker 12: he got the job done. The second half. He did 2008 01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 12: not see the numbers. This is why you got to 2009 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,559 Speaker 12: get past numbers. The numbers were good in the first half, 2010 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,639 Speaker 12: but he held on the ball too long. They only 2011 01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:09,720 Speaker 12: scored three points. I'm like, pull the trigger man, throw 2012 01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,360 Speaker 12: the football. He wouldn't do it. This is by the way, 2013 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:16,200 Speaker 12: when they were struggling, and that the raiderp game was 2014 01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:16,880 Speaker 12: terrible at home. 2015 01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:17,880 Speaker 5: That bad loss at the home. 2016 01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:19,519 Speaker 12: It was when Mahomes won to throw the football not 2017 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,040 Speaker 12: pulling the trigger, and he did in the second half. 2018 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:22,599 Speaker 5: They came back. 2019 01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:26,920 Speaker 12: But Steve, if you're right, it's a well put together organization, 2020 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:28,599 Speaker 12: you know, Andy and Brett Veach. 2021 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,519 Speaker 5: Brett Veach says, pretty much makes the calls and personnel 2022 01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 5: and he just when he needs interject he does. It's 2023 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:35,160 Speaker 5: a good staff. 2024 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:42,360 Speaker 12: But overall, you've got a guy's probably gonna go down 2025 01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:44,519 Speaker 12: to be the best quarterback in NFL history. 2026 01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:45,559 Speaker 5: Yes, over Brady. 2027 01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:47,880 Speaker 12: Brady I know has got seven rings, six with one 2028 01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:49,639 Speaker 12: team and one with the other, which would be the Bucks. 2029 01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 12: But let's not forget Mahomes turns just twenty nine in September. 2030 01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:58,200 Speaker 12: Quarterbacks says, we've seen could play until their late thirties 2031 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:04,120 Speaker 12: early forties. The only concerned guys going forward with this 2032 01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 12: thing is if any Reeve retires for the next two years, 2033 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:07,240 Speaker 12: which he could. 2034 01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:08,599 Speaker 6: Not. 2035 01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:10,680 Speaker 12: Having him as a play caller doesn't matter. He's an 2036 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,840 Speaker 12: unbelievable play caller. And by the way, he's way more aggressive. 2037 01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:15,200 Speaker 5: Than he was in Philly. 2038 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:18,639 Speaker 12: He's more wide open here than he was with the Eagles. 2039 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:23,360 Speaker 4: I was telling Steve that this victory by Patrick Mahomes 2040 01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,439 Speaker 4: because of how hard the road was to get to 2041 01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:28,560 Speaker 4: the super Bowl. I mean, like you just mentioned it 2042 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 4: and I mentioned it. They lost on Christmas Day to 2043 01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:30,839 Speaker 4: the Raiders. 2044 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:35,280 Speaker 3: Like, I feel like winning this really added a lot to. 2045 01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:39,479 Speaker 4: Being the greatest of all time because of how difficult 2046 01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:40,040 Speaker 4: the road was. 2047 01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was. And you know Steve brought this up. 2048 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:46,360 Speaker 12: It was not a clean season. No, they had the 2049 01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,360 Speaker 12: bad loss effect. They lost three out of four. They 2050 01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:56,519 Speaker 12: lost at Green Bay, they lost to the Bills, and 2051 01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 12: then they lost that awful game at home to the Raiders. 2052 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 12: It was I mean, Mahomes, you saw what frustrated was. 2053 01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:03,280 Speaker 12: I was like, wow, I'm going. 2054 01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:04,040 Speaker 5: To get this one wrong. 2055 01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,720 Speaker 12: But then look that they did what they had to do, 2056 01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:09,599 Speaker 12: you know what, you know, I think it actually helped 2057 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:11,559 Speaker 12: them that they didn't have a buye that they had 2058 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,439 Speaker 12: to play early. I thought that actually helped them because 2059 01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:17,320 Speaker 12: they handled the Dolphins. They went into Buffalo in a 2060 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,599 Speaker 12: game anyone could have won, and man did they handle 2061 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:22,920 Speaker 12: Did they handle the Ravens and Lamar Jackson? 2062 01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 5: That was just incredible their default How good was their 2063 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:25,920 Speaker 5: defense in that game? 2064 01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, speaking of defense for the Chiefs, 2065 01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,040 Speaker 2: are they going to resign Christ Jones? What's what's the 2066 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:32,559 Speaker 2: plan here? 2067 01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 12: Yeah, they want him back. They want their star cornerback, 2068 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:39,680 Speaker 12: Lagerius Snead. Jones is saying he's going to be back. 2069 01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:41,320 Speaker 12: I know his agents are not happy about that because 2070 01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:42,200 Speaker 12: they don't want to lose leverage. 2071 01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:43,960 Speaker 2: Are they going a franchise tag him? Yeah? 2072 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 12: I mean, look, they can do that if they if 2073 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:49,679 Speaker 12: they so choose, that's certainly open to do that. It's 2074 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,679 Speaker 12: going to be hard, It's going to be extremely difficult. 2075 01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:54,320 Speaker 12: I'd put a low percentage that they'll be able to 2076 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,080 Speaker 12: re sign both past one season. 2077 01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:59,920 Speaker 5: The thing is, though, here's the problem. If Sneed goes. 2078 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 12: You know, they play more man covers than most teams, 2079 01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:04,639 Speaker 12: they have no one on the roster who could replace them. 2080 01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,240 Speaker 12: Sneve was a fourth round pick. Has been a great 2081 01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,880 Speaker 12: story of development and they would have to address with 2082 01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:11,559 Speaker 12: the draft. They have a lot of guys up. In fact, 2083 01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,320 Speaker 12: they've they've got five or six key players on defense 2084 01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 12: who were up. 2085 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:19,200 Speaker 2: So the biggest story leading up to this year's draft 2086 01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,840 Speaker 2: is simple, what are the Bears gonna do? 2087 01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:22,920 Speaker 5: Yeah? 2088 01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:26,000 Speaker 2: At number one, I mean and the domino effect is 2089 01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:28,519 Speaker 2: huge because you look at the teams right after the 2090 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,639 Speaker 2: Bears in the draft, and most of them are looking 2091 01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:35,160 Speaker 2: at quarterback And potentially there are six quarterbacks that I 2092 01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 2: see that could be first round picks this year, depending 2093 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,840 Speaker 2: on you know, how the evaluation goes combined and everything else. 2094 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,160 Speaker 2: But what is your gut feeling right this second in 2095 01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:46,840 Speaker 2: terms of the Bears decision of what to do with 2096 01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,080 Speaker 2: that number one pick in the draft? 2097 01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,639 Speaker 12: Yeah, I've been saying Caleb Woye for fort a couple 2098 01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 12: of months, and in fact, my first mock that went 2099 01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 12: live at profobone network dot com actually said, look as 2100 01:45:58,439 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 12: long as they and Steve You just kind of alluded 2101 01:45:59,920 --> 01:46:03,120 Speaker 12: to this, as long as everything checks out with Caleb Williams, 2102 01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,439 Speaker 12: he's the pick. But that and I also did say 2103 01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:09,519 Speaker 12: that Kevin Warren, their new president and CEO, will be 2104 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:10,920 Speaker 12: heavily involved in this decision. 2105 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:11,920 Speaker 5: He won't make the call. 2106 01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,680 Speaker 12: Ryan Paul's a GM formerly of the Chiefs as a 2107 01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,800 Speaker 12: personnel director. He'll make the call. But one of the 2108 01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:20,160 Speaker 12: reasons why Warren left being the commission of the Big 2109 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,200 Speaker 12: Ten was to be involved with football. He wanted to 2110 01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:24,759 Speaker 12: get involved with it and he's going to be involved. 2111 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:26,360 Speaker 12: With the fact he did an interview with Jared Payton 2112 01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:31,000 Speaker 12: Walterson it kept talking about how much Justin Fields has 2113 01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:32,960 Speaker 12: improved and all, you know, be great if we could 2114 01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,800 Speaker 12: just keep him and trade down and get way and 2115 01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:37,640 Speaker 12: a lot of draft picks. I was shocked that he 2116 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,640 Speaker 12: said this, and he won the record this week and 2117 01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:42,599 Speaker 12: put that out there again. He's not going to make 2118 01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,880 Speaker 12: the call. And Steve, you're right. You look at it. 2119 01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:51,320 Speaker 12: The Bears, the Commanders, the Patriots all need quarterbacks, and 2120 01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:53,000 Speaker 12: then the Giants say they're not going to do that. 2121 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,960 Speaker 12: They're going to go with Daniel Jones when he's healthy. 2122 01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:56,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know. 2123 01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:58,719 Speaker 12: And then by the way, at eight, Yeah, this is interesting. 2124 01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:02,559 Speaker 12: I would great your assessment. Certainly within the top forty. 2125 01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,080 Speaker 12: I don't want to say anything's a lock. You never 2126 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:08,120 Speaker 12: know what kind of information that they get, but certainly 2127 01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:10,439 Speaker 12: with the top forty six at a minium of six 2128 01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:13,519 Speaker 12: and well, as we get past these future weeks here, 2129 01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:15,400 Speaker 12: I'll give you some sleepers or even go on the 2130 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,320 Speaker 12: second and third round.

That would be thirty three 2250 01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:47,920 Speaker 2: years ago. So I'm trying to figure out me when 2251 01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:51,639 Speaker 2: he won his first NBA championship. Yeah, yeah, this rookie 2252 01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:55,160 Speaker 2: season was thirty nine years ago. So I'm just trying 2253 01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:59,719 Speaker 2: to figure out his relevance in the game today. Michael Jordan. 2254 01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:04,559 Speaker 4: I mean, he's obviously still relevant because everybody is constantly 2255 01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:08,519 Speaker 4: wearing his shoes and his gear. Jordan the symbol, the 2256 01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:13,160 Speaker 4: jumpman symbol is everywhere in connection to basketball. Their Jordan 2257 01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:17,200 Speaker 4: forever forever, and even players you know that are signed 2258 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,719 Speaker 4: to the Jordan brand, it's like, yeah, you have your shoe, 2259 01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:20,759 Speaker 4: but they're Jordan. 2260 01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:22,800 Speaker 2: But I mean, I mean, I'm just wondering how many 2261 01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:27,320 Speaker 2: people today follow the NBA that profess that it's NBA 2262 01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:31,679 Speaker 2: first in their hearts? Yeah, really actually saw Michael Jordan 2263 01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:35,320 Speaker 2: play in his heyday? Well, I guess it's I'm not 2264 01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,160 Speaker 2: just talking. See the thing about like you go to YouTube, 2265 01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:40,640 Speaker 2: you get highlights, right, it's not the same. It's not 2266 01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 2: the same. Now. 2267 01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:44,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was very little, but I. 2268 01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:49,120 Speaker 4: Remember like my brothers watching Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley 2269 01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:51,599 Speaker 4: and like the way they would just like go up 2270 01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:55,320 Speaker 4: to the television and kiss the television when Michael Jordan would. 2271 01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,720 Speaker 3: Score, Like I I'll never forget that. 2272 01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:01,280 Speaker 2: No, I just I always it's amazing. People are like, well, 2273 01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:05,519 Speaker 2: he was six for six. Well, actually he played fourteen 2274 01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:08,719 Speaker 2: years in the NBA. Yeah, yeah, he was six for six. 2275 01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,839 Speaker 2: In terms of being in the NBA finals, the Bulls 2276 01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:15,200 Speaker 2: were prohibitive favorites in all six of those NBA finals. 2277 01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:19,960 Speaker 2: Since the argument about Lebron James, so Lebron James is 2278 01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,280 Speaker 2: four and six in NBA finals. In only three of 2279 01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:27,120 Speaker 2: those NBA finals was his team favorite. They were underdogs 2280 01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:29,960 Speaker 2: in seven. Jordan was never the underdog, so they did 2281 01:54:29,960 --> 01:54:32,560 Speaker 2: what they were supposed to do. He also never played 2282 01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:35,960 Speaker 2: a game seven in the NBA finals, right, right, So 2283 01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:38,120 Speaker 2: this is not to take away from Michael Jordan, but 2284 01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 2: it just it just always amazing and his legend grows 2285 01:54:41,280 --> 01:54:45,520 Speaker 2: with time. Yes, this does the further removie is Away 2286 01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:46,160 Speaker 2: from the Game. 2287 01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:51,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, because people, he even if you just looked at 2288 01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:55,880 Speaker 4: highlights though, he had like a like a clutch. 2289 01:54:57,200 --> 01:54:58,560 Speaker 3: In him, Like you know what I'm saying, Like. 2290 01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:00,680 Speaker 2: He had a charisma that was Sevenda night. 2291 01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:03,520 Speaker 3: You couldn't and you can't teach that.

Eliminating 2375 01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:11,040 Speaker 2: the shift, you know worked. 2376 01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:12,880 Speaker 3: I like that one of the most I think, and. 2377 01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:18,080 Speaker 2: I found myself more engaged in baseball last year than 2378 01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:21,920 Speaker 2: I had been and honestly quite a while. But I'm 2379 01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:23,880 Speaker 2: just talking about some of who's been following in sport. 2380 01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:27,040 Speaker 2: You know. It's like Babe Ruth's around. I'm just curious. 2381 01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:31,520 Speaker 2: I mean, is baseball beginning to creep back in the 2382 01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:34,680 Speaker 2: consciousness of younger sports fans? 2383 01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:35,840 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think so. 2384 01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:38,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it's going to take down 2385 01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:40,880 Speaker 4: the NBA or even the NFL, but I do think 2386 01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:44,280 Speaker 4: it is bringing a brand new fan base, a younger 2387 01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,040 Speaker 4: fan base. I think it is doing that because it's 2388 01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:49,240 Speaker 4: sped up the game. Watching a game at home is 2389 01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:49,800 Speaker 4: so boring. 2390 01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:52,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, instead of three plus hours, the games 2391 01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:53,520 Speaker 2: were over in two and a. 2392 01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:54,560 Speaker 3: Half hours exactly. 2393 01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,400 Speaker 2: That works now if you'd just get rid of those 2394 01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:02,480 Speaker 2: umpires and telling it.

I guess Nicola Jokic pulled this on 2485 02:04:04,400 --> 02:04:06,680 Speaker 4: Luka Doncic, and I would have lost my mind. 2486 02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:08,280 Speaker 3: Like I don't get mad about a lot of things 2487 02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:11,360 Speaker 3: he's doing. He's at the All Star Game, right and 2488 02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:16,800 Speaker 3: U pours cold water down his back as he's talking 2489 02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:20,040 Speaker 3: to the media. I think he said a bad word, 2490 02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:23,800 Speaker 3: but I would have lost I would have lost my mind. 2491 02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:26,280 Speaker 2: So the question is, why would he do that? 2492 02:04:26,480 --> 02:04:28,680 Speaker 4: Well, he was trying to be funny and pulled a 2493 02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:32,200 Speaker 4: prank on him, but I don't know. I would have 2494 02:04:32,200 --> 02:04:35,000 Speaker 4: gone off my seat and like chased him down. I 2495 02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:37,000 Speaker 4: would That's not a prank I would handle well. 2496 02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:44,720 Speaker 2: You know, we were talking earlier with mister Medina about this, 2497 02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,080 Speaker 2: about the idea that the NBA has instituted these new 2498 02:04:49,160 --> 02:04:51,840 Speaker 2: rules in terms of how many gains minimum number of 2499 02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:55,360 Speaker 2: games to participate in to be eligible for not just 2500 02:04:55,440 --> 02:04:58,880 Speaker 2: any postseason awards, but all NBA and everything else. And 2501 02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:02,760 Speaker 2: of course the big story that embiid he's he's out 2502 02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:05,320 Speaker 2: out despite the fact that he's averaging thirty five points 2503 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:07,160 Speaker 2: a game. You won't see him on any All NBA 2504 02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:08,320 Speaker 2: team this year, none of. 2505 02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:11,720 Speaker 3: That, which is so yeah, okay, yeah, I have no 2506 02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:12,320 Speaker 3: problem with it. 2507 02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:17,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it goets back to Jokic. Yeah, so we 2508 02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:20,280 Speaker 2: have Nikola Jokicic as we go into this All Star Game, 2509 02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:25,200 Speaker 2: and obviously they'll be starting as usual. And I'm still 2510 02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:33,320 Speaker 2: trying to figure out how this guy happened. I mean, 2511 02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:40,760 Speaker 2: I remembered this. So he was like your typical euro second, 2512 02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:44,400 Speaker 2: you know, second round pick. And you know how these 2513 02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:50,040 Speaker 2: guys usually end up. They're guys that will play, you know, 2514 02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:52,800 Speaker 2: ten minutes a night. Yeah, they're a big body, so 2515 02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:54,960 Speaker 2: they'll they'll be guaranteed a seat on the bench. 2516 02:05:55,080 --> 02:05:57,320 Speaker 4: Now, it's probably the idea behind it. A big body, 2517 02:05:57,480 --> 02:05:58,160 Speaker 4: let's use him. 2518 02:05:58,240 --> 02:06:02,480 Speaker 2: Right, And the knock on him was something that is obvious. 2519 02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,800 Speaker 2: He's not like a dynamic athlete where he jumps through 2520 02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:10,640 Speaker 2: the building or ending like that. And this guy is 2521 02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:15,200 Speaker 2: the best player in the league, Like no one plays 2522 02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:18,000 Speaker 2: the game better than he does. 2523 02:06:18,040 --> 02:06:21,839 Speaker 4: And he has been consistently the best player in the league, 2524 02:06:21,880 --> 02:06:24,120 Speaker 4: like to the last what we can say, maybe. 2525 02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:25,240 Speaker 3: Three four or five years. 2526 02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:28,480 Speaker 2: In an effort not to be spectacular, which is an 2527 02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:30,640 Speaker 2: effort because he's not capable of being that. 2528 02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:31,280 Speaker 3: He's not. 2529 02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:36,680 Speaker 2: He is a student of the game then understands the 2530 02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,560 Speaker 2: basic angles of the game. Yep I used to talk 2531 02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:43,400 Speaker 2: about when when Bird of Magic came into the league. 2532 02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:47,560 Speaker 2: The thing that immediately set both of these guys apart 2533 02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:52,720 Speaker 2: was their court awareness. Both of them literally knew where 2534 02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:55,000 Speaker 2: the other nine players were on the court at all times. 2535 02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:58,240 Speaker 2: Like Magic would make passes and by the way, Bird's 2536 02:06:58,240 --> 02:07:02,440 Speaker 2: passing was almost as good. Obviously Bird was a better shooter, 2537 02:07:04,160 --> 02:07:06,600 Speaker 2: but if you have to think about the pass, it's 2538 02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,400 Speaker 2: not possible. In other words, you have to be able 2539 02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:13,040 Speaker 2: to instinctly make a pass before you could actually think 2540 02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:14,400 Speaker 2: process and then make. 2541 02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:17,040 Speaker 4: The pass right you're anticipating somebody being there before. 2542 02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:19,160 Speaker 2: This is what I see with the old kids he had. 2543 02:07:19,720 --> 02:07:22,320 Speaker 2: He would be capable of scoring thirty points a game 2544 02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:25,560 Speaker 2: if he wanted, or twenty rebounds a game if he wanted, 2545 02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:28,840 Speaker 2: or ten twelve assists if he wanted to do it. 2546 02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:34,320 Speaker 2: That is such an incredible awareness of the court. When 2547 02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:38,800 Speaker 2: we talk about basketball IQ, it's completely off the charts, 2548 02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:42,960 Speaker 2: but most of it is self taught because there was 2549 02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:47,560 Speaker 2: no indication none that this guy was ever going to 2550 02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:49,720 Speaker 2: be capable of being the player that he is becoming 2551 02:07:49,760 --> 02:07:50,320 Speaker 2: this league. 2552 02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:53,600 Speaker 4: He is the player that he is just using basic 2553 02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:57,920 Speaker 4: fundamentals of what you were taught when you are young 2554 02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:03,720 Speaker 4: in learning basketball stuff. Don't stop your dribble, look up, 2555 02:08:04,440 --> 02:08:07,600 Speaker 4: like the most basic of things is how he is succeeding. 2556 02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,920 Speaker 4: And a couple of weeks ago, I read an article 2557 02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:13,680 Speaker 4: about Greg Popovich saying how this team that he has 2558 02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:16,840 Speaker 4: right now, the Spurs, is so young and he's having 2559 02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:21,680 Speaker 4: to teach them basic fundamentals, like what are we talking about? 2560 02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:25,160 Speaker 3: And it's not the same. But Kawhi Leonard, he's not 2561 02:08:25,320 --> 02:08:29,040 Speaker 3: flashy at all. He does the fundamentals. 2562 02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:32,360 Speaker 4: Like if you look at Kawhi Leonard, aside from the 2563 02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:35,680 Speaker 4: fact that Jokic does not look like physique wise, like 2564 02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:38,600 Speaker 4: he's got a lot of muscle on him, Kawhi has 2565 02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:40,840 Speaker 4: a lot of muscle on him. But they both just 2566 02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:45,360 Speaker 4: play basic fundamental basketball well. They simplify the game exactly. 2567 02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:48,800 Speaker 4: In other words, don't over complicate those. If you do 2568 02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:52,800 Speaker 4: the simple things well, you will succeed. You will succeed 2569 02:08:52,840 --> 02:08:55,800 Speaker 4: in this game. It seems so basic, and you're wondering 2570 02:08:55,880 --> 02:08:58,760 Speaker 4: why they don't do that. But again, when you're young 2571 02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:00,520 Speaker 4: and you grow up and you're a bass caketball player, 2572 02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:03,520 Speaker 4: you have aspirations to play in the NBA. You're raised 2573 02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:06,520 Speaker 4: on highlight film. Right, You're looking at Steph Curry shooting 2574 02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:10,080 Speaker 4: from the logo, right, you know, instead of the fundamentals 2575 02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:11,520 Speaker 4: which are going out the window. 2576 02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:14,760 Speaker 2: John Wooden had a basic fundamental that he would start 2577 02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:18,760 Speaker 2: every basketball season with at UCLA, how to properly tie 2578 02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:23,400 Speaker 2: your shoe. It was legendary. It was the very first 2579 02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:26,800 Speaker 2: thing that he would start the season on, how to 2580 02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:31,400 Speaker 2: properly tie your shoe so you don't blister up or 2581 02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:34,440 Speaker 2: whatever it might be. So all his players would sit 2582 02:09:34,520 --> 02:09:38,720 Speaker 2: there and he would show them exactly how to pull 2583 02:09:38,760 --> 02:09:43,560 Speaker 2: the laces up tight and actually tie your shoe. Now, 2584 02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:45,680 Speaker 2: that's what we talk about, getting to basics. 2585 02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:49,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, I wish somebody taught me how 2586 02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:51,400 Speaker 4: to properly tie my shoe because I feel like whenever 2587 02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:53,640 Speaker 4: I run or play, I always have to tie my 2588 02:09:53,680 --> 02:09:56,160 Speaker 4: shoe in the middle of it, right, always, still, still, 2589 02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:56,600 Speaker 4: this has. 2590 02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:59,720 Speaker 2: Never happened with them, So and so this is the 2591 02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:03,720 Speaker 2: great thing because it's always every league's a copycat league. Right, 2592 02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:08,280 Speaker 2: you suddenly see this team is success or this person 2593 02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:10,680 Speaker 2: is successful. This is what happened with Steph Curry. Yeah, 2594 02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:12,880 Speaker 2: and the whole Splash Brothers thing with him and Clay. 2595 02:10:13,200 --> 02:10:17,040 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, everyone said, Wow, that's the way. 2596 02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:17,400 Speaker 5: We need to go. 2597 02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:18,640 Speaker 3: They can do it. We can do it. 2598 02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:23,600 Speaker 2: They can't do it. No, Yeah, that was a miscalculation, 2599 02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:26,520 Speaker 2: but that no, no sense. It completely changed the dynamic of 2600 02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:26,960 Speaker 2: the NBA. 2601 02:10:27,120 --> 02:10:27,760 Speaker 3: It really did. 2602 02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:31,720 Speaker 4: But Yokich and a few other players are showing that 2603 02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:33,800 Speaker 4: it's like, you don't have to do that. You can 2604 02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:36,360 Speaker 4: just do the basics and still be And it's like 2605 02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:39,160 Speaker 4: the basics, not even just on the offense, but defensively, 2606 02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:41,080 Speaker 4: box out, get. 2607 02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,960 Speaker 3: The rebound, rebounds. Defense wins games. 2608 02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:46,480 Speaker 4: And that's another thing where it's like nobody's playing defense 2609 02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:48,160 Speaker 4: except for a few people and a few teams. 2610 02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:50,640 Speaker 2: All right. On the other side of Manci, I want 2611 02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:55,200 Speaker 2: to talk about the pending excitement for you, oh, for 2612 02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:58,480 Speaker 2: this NBA season and whether or not this is finally 2613 02:11:00,320 --> 02:11:04,879 Speaker 2: the year we'll explain.

I've been sort of saving this for later 2625 02:11:38,360 --> 02:11:39,080 Speaker 2: in the show. 2626 02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:42,080 Speaker 3: Because keeping me on my toes. 2627 02:11:41,600 --> 02:11:44,600 Speaker 2: Well as we come down the stretch in this NBA season. 2628 02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:48,720 Speaker 2: So remember the Clippers stumbled out of the gate. I 2629 02:11:48,720 --> 02:11:51,080 Speaker 2: think they had like a six game losing streak early 2630 02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:54,839 Speaker 2: on to fall to three and seven on the season. 2631 02:11:55,160 --> 02:12:00,320 Speaker 2: Since then, the Clippers are thirty three and ten. Yeah, 2632 02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:05,040 Speaker 2: by far the best record in the NBA. And you 2633 02:12:05,080 --> 02:12:07,600 Speaker 2: know what's amazing just seeing Kawhi Leonard on the court, 2634 02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:10,560 Speaker 2: which seems so rare in the past, like he's actually 2635 02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:13,760 Speaker 2: showing up for games, and Paul George is there and 2636 02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:16,240 Speaker 2: after a rough start, it seems like the James Harden 2637 02:12:16,280 --> 02:12:20,640 Speaker 2: thing is definitely working, and Russell Westbrook has accepted his 2638 02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:24,080 Speaker 2: role limited off the bench, and you got a lot 2639 02:12:24,160 --> 02:12:26,760 Speaker 2: of players coming off that bench that can really contribute 2640 02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:30,600 Speaker 2: to this team. Yea the step when the Clippers move 2641 02:12:30,640 --> 02:12:35,000 Speaker 2: into their new arena next season in Inglewood, which is 2642 02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:39,400 Speaker 2: not too far from Sofi Stadium. Ye Steve Bomber, who 2643 02:12:39,440 --> 02:12:41,960 Speaker 2: the last time I checked on Forbes list is the 2644 02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:45,280 Speaker 2: eighth wealthiest man on the planet, worth an excess of 2645 02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:49,080 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty billion dollars. I mean to try 2646 02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:52,000 Speaker 2: to put it in perspective, Steve Bomber could literally buy 2647 02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:54,520 Speaker 2: the every team in the league. It could be the 2648 02:12:54,600 --> 02:13:00,480 Speaker 2: National Bomber League Association, the National Bomber Association of the NBA. 2649 02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:04,600 Speaker 2: There we go, that's how much money he has. So 2650 02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:08,720 Speaker 2: this arena that they are building has got so many 2651 02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:13,400 Speaker 2: bells and whistles, I don't even know where to begin. Yeah, 2652 02:13:14,240 --> 02:13:18,879 Speaker 2: and if they could go into that arena as raigning 2653 02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:28,800 Speaker 2: NBA champions, we are talking potentially in a city like 2654 02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:32,920 Speaker 2: Los Angeles that's hell been on supporting winners. And I'm 2655 02:13:32,920 --> 02:13:37,760 Speaker 2: not saying there would be even one Laker fan that 2656 02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:39,480 Speaker 2: would abandon the Lakers for the Clippers. 2657 02:13:39,560 --> 02:13:41,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, that's not the real ones. The real ones. No, 2658 02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:44,760 Speaker 4: not one, Yeah, absolutely not. 2659 02:13:45,200 --> 02:13:48,840 Speaker 2: But there are still some neutral parties. Yeah, plenty of 2660 02:13:48,920 --> 02:13:52,240 Speaker 2: Laker haters. I mean, the basis of the Clippers fan 2661 02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:54,640 Speaker 2: base in Los Angeles over these years was based on 2662 02:13:54,680 --> 02:13:57,480 Speaker 2: people that hated the Lakers. That's how the Clippers got 2663 02:13:57,480 --> 02:13:59,920 Speaker 2: anybody to show up for their games. But for someone 2664 02:14:00,120 --> 02:14:02,879 Speaker 2: like yourself that has been sort of waiting, waiting, waiting, 2665 02:14:03,960 --> 02:14:07,520 Speaker 2: you got a really good coach in Tyler. They're playing 2666 02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, thirty three and ten. That is lights out basketball. 2667 02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:15,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's clicking, it's clicking, and it looks real, and 2668 02:14:15,880 --> 02:14:16,720 Speaker 4: it looks. 2669 02:14:17,480 --> 02:14:20,560 Speaker 3: Believable that they actually can win. 2670 02:14:20,880 --> 02:14:23,839 Speaker 4: Obviously, we have to see what happens in the playoffs, 2671 02:14:23,840 --> 02:14:27,920 Speaker 4: and everybody has to remain healthy. But we have a 2672 02:14:28,320 --> 02:14:31,879 Speaker 4: if I just put aside Paul George and Kawhi Leonard 2673 02:14:32,600 --> 02:14:36,320 Speaker 4: off the bench. Norman Powell has been so successful for US. 2674 02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:40,600 Speaker 2: I never dreamt and obviously, being a UCLA Bruin, he 2675 02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:43,760 Speaker 2: was a solid college basketball player. The idea that he 2676 02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:45,640 Speaker 2: would be this kind of NBA player. 2677 02:14:46,240 --> 02:14:49,000 Speaker 4: Never and you saw a little bit of it last year, 2678 02:14:49,920 --> 02:14:51,880 Speaker 4: the last few years, but specifically last year when we 2679 02:14:51,960 --> 02:14:54,240 Speaker 4: went into the playoffs and Kawhi got her, Paul George 2680 02:14:54,240 --> 02:14:57,240 Speaker 4: got her. Westbrook and Norman Powell were the ones who 2681 02:14:57,240 --> 02:15:00,880 Speaker 4: gave us any hope and they were amazing, amazing. 2682 02:15:01,280 --> 02:15:03,920 Speaker 3: They're continuing that, both of them off the bench. Both 2683 02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:06,000 Speaker 3: candidates for six Man of the Year by the way 2684 02:15:06,080 --> 02:15:06,560 Speaker 3: right now. 2685 02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 4: But I think our big unsung hero that does not 2686 02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:12,720 Speaker 4: get enough credit of Ittza Zubats. 2687 02:15:13,440 --> 02:15:14,160 Speaker 3: He does not. 2688 02:15:14,120 --> 02:15:18,120 Speaker 2: Get as gave away for a half season rental. 2689 02:15:18,480 --> 02:15:19,120 Speaker 3: That guy. 2690 02:15:19,440 --> 02:15:21,560 Speaker 4: He needs to be on the court like he We 2691 02:15:21,640 --> 02:15:24,640 Speaker 4: need him on the court. Mason Plumley is great. Even 2692 02:15:24,720 --> 02:15:27,400 Speaker 4: Daniel Tice that we picked up when Mason Plumley got hurt. 2693 02:15:27,600 --> 02:15:30,120 Speaker 4: Both are great for the minutes that they are gonna 2694 02:15:30,120 --> 02:15:32,600 Speaker 4: give us. But Avita Zubats did not get the. 2695 02:15:32,560 --> 02:15:33,440 Speaker 3: Credit he deserves. 2696 02:15:33,800 --> 02:15:37,440 Speaker 4: This guy not only is playing defense like you know, 2697 02:15:37,480 --> 02:15:40,160 Speaker 4: guarding the biggest guys on whatever team we're playing. He 2698 02:15:40,240 --> 02:15:42,840 Speaker 4: has to be ready at any given moment for those 2699 02:15:42,920 --> 02:15:45,760 Speaker 4: no look passes that James Harden is giving him or 2700 02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:49,560 Speaker 4: sometimes Kawhi or sometimes Paul George. He is literally has 2701 02:15:49,600 --> 02:15:52,960 Speaker 4: to be aware and in the game the entire time 2702 02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,760 Speaker 4: he's on the court, not just defensively, but he has 2703 02:15:55,800 --> 02:15:57,560 Speaker 4: to be aware because he doesn't know when they're gonna 2704 02:15:57,560 --> 02:15:59,240 Speaker 4: throw him the ball, and when he gets the ball, 2705 02:15:59,360 --> 02:16:02,400 Speaker 4: he's effective, he scores. He does not get the credit 2706 02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:05,959 Speaker 4: that he should be getting out of all of the Clippers. 2707 02:16:06,200 --> 02:16:09,720 Speaker 2: You know, I always think about the few cities that 2708 02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:13,160 Speaker 2: have two teams, you know, New York be an example. Yes, 2709 02:16:13,240 --> 02:16:15,480 Speaker 2: the Jets have made it very easy for the Giants 2710 02:16:15,480 --> 02:16:20,160 Speaker 2: over the years because the Jets have sucked, right, I 2711 02:16:20,160 --> 02:16:22,240 Speaker 2: mean they I mean, you know, they win a Super 2712 02:16:22,280 --> 02:16:24,920 Speaker 2: Bowl before they come into the NFL, but since then 2713 02:16:25,040 --> 02:16:28,840 Speaker 2: nothing zero is it not even close. So they've made 2714 02:16:28,880 --> 02:16:32,600 Speaker 2: it very easy for the Giants to maintain control. Same 2715 02:16:32,640 --> 02:16:35,560 Speaker 2: thing with the Clippers and the Lakers. The Clippers have 2716 02:16:35,640 --> 02:16:37,400 Speaker 2: made it easy even though he had to head. They've 2717 02:16:37,440 --> 02:16:39,960 Speaker 2: dominated the Lakers. Going into the season. They had won 2718 02:16:40,040 --> 02:16:43,080 Speaker 2: thirty three of the last thirty forty games against the Lakers. 2719 02:16:43,120 --> 02:16:45,840 Speaker 2: Had to head. Yeah, it doesn't matter because all those 2720 02:16:45,879 --> 02:16:48,160 Speaker 2: banners up there and the Clippers have nothing. 2721 02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:48,440 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2722 02:16:48,520 --> 02:16:50,600 Speaker 3: No, people tell me that all the time. They always 2723 02:16:50,800 --> 02:16:52,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you to put that on a banner. 2724 02:16:52,879 --> 02:16:57,880 Speaker 2: Maybe it's a tough road ahead, Yes, I feel like 2725 02:16:58,440 --> 02:17:01,039 Speaker 2: certainly the Clippers are capable. Any chance, a real chance, 2726 02:17:01,240 --> 02:17:03,840 Speaker 2: I mean there's I mean, the only thing holding them 2727 02:17:03,879 --> 02:17:05,480 Speaker 2: back is, like you say. 2728 02:17:05,320 --> 02:17:08,280 Speaker 3: Injuries, injuries, and we'll see, you know what happens. 2729 02:17:08,320 --> 02:17:11,200 Speaker 2: But can they match up with any team in this league? Absolutely? 2730 02:17:11,240 --> 02:17:11,640 Speaker 5: That what? 2731 02:17:11,959 --> 02:17:12,240 Speaker 3: Yes? 2732 02:17:12,400 --> 02:17:15,280 Speaker 4: And I'm not even like looking at the league, there's 2733 02:17:15,360 --> 02:17:18,680 Speaker 4: not many teams that I'm scared to face if I'm 2734 02:17:19,040 --> 02:17:21,480 Speaker 4: the Clippers, not on the West, not on the East, 2735 02:17:21,640 --> 02:17:25,600 Speaker 4: like the Denver Nuggets. Sure, and also I think the 2736 02:17:25,640 --> 02:17:28,280 Speaker 4: Denver Nuggets are the only ones that really have like 2737 02:17:28,320 --> 02:17:30,920 Speaker 4: a home court advantage because of the altitude everywhere else. 2738 02:17:30,920 --> 02:17:32,959 Speaker 4: I you know, I'm not worried about it. But aside 2739 02:17:32,959 --> 02:17:35,080 Speaker 4: from the Nuggets, like looking and then on the East, 2740 02:17:35,640 --> 02:17:37,879 Speaker 4: I'm not that scared of the Celtics. 2741 02:17:38,080 --> 02:17:41,600 Speaker 2: No, nor should you. I mean this, the Celtics have 2742 02:17:41,640 --> 02:17:43,880 Speaker 2: been knocking on the door for several years now and 2743 02:17:43,920 --> 02:17:45,680 Speaker 2: they haven't been able to get over the hump and 2744 02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:48,280 Speaker 2: they need we can eliminate the bus. 2745 02:17:48,480 --> 02:17:52,440 Speaker 4: Eliminate the bus as long as Doc Rivers. 2746 02:17:52,480 --> 02:17:54,520 Speaker 2: I mean, that was the biggest move for the Clippers. 2747 02:17:54,520 --> 02:17:57,279 Speaker 2: I had been screaming for three the last three years, 2748 02:17:57,879 --> 02:18:02,000 Speaker 2: get rid of Doc Rivers. Yeah, you're killing me. Yeah, 2749 02:18:02,040 --> 02:18:04,720 Speaker 2: And you got the right guy, Tyler and I like. 2750 02:18:04,760 --> 02:18:07,320 Speaker 4: Cleveland, but I don't think I'm not scared of Cleveland either. 2751 02:18:07,600 --> 02:18:09,440 Speaker 4: On no, yeah, I'm just looking at him like. 2752 02:18:09,480 --> 02:18:12,400 Speaker 2: No, No, the Denver Nuggets are your target. They are 2753 02:18:12,400 --> 02:18:15,480 Speaker 2: the running NBA champions and until somebody proves otherwise of 2754 02:18:15,600 --> 02:18:16,120 Speaker 2: the team to be. 2755 02:18:16,240 --> 02:18:18,200 Speaker 3: And at the start of the season, I was I 2756 02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:19,440 Speaker 3: think I said it, Tibo, But at the start of 2757 02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:22,120 Speaker 3: the season, I did think Oklahoma City Thunder was going 2758 02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:23,959 Speaker 3: to be a real threat their second right now in 2759 02:18:23,959 --> 02:18:26,560 Speaker 3: the Western Conference. But now I see them and I'm like, no, 2760 02:18:26,640 --> 02:18:27,560 Speaker 3: you're You're beatable. 2761 02:18:27,600 --> 02:18:29,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, here's here's the problem for the Clippers. 2762 02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:30,600 Speaker 3: What's the problem. 2763 02:18:30,760 --> 02:18:33,640 Speaker 2: So Kawhi Leonard has got proven credentials in the postseason. 2764 02:18:33,800 --> 02:18:41,000 Speaker 2: Obviously he can deliver Paul George, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, 2765 02:18:43,800 --> 02:18:49,640 Speaker 2: but one of those guys, all of those guys have 2766 02:18:49,720 --> 02:18:53,280 Speaker 2: to come a big you can't be you know, game 2767 02:18:53,320 --> 02:18:56,280 Speaker 2: on the line, balls in the hands of the Beard 2768 02:18:56,400 --> 02:19:00,360 Speaker 2: and he just bricks. We've seen it before, we have. 2769 02:19:00,360 --> 02:19:01,000 Speaker 3: Seen it before. 2770 02:19:01,080 --> 02:19:04,080 Speaker 4: But he's done that where he has to take that shot. 2771 02:19:04,720 --> 02:19:06,959 Speaker 4: Now he's in a position where he doesn't. 2772 02:19:06,560 --> 02:19:09,040 Speaker 2: Have to take the teams may force him to take 2773 02:19:09,080 --> 02:19:11,840 Speaker 2: that shot, right, But the pressure is take everybody out 2774 02:19:11,640 --> 02:19:14,199 Speaker 2: out out of the game. Same thing with Paul George. 2775 02:19:14,280 --> 02:19:16,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, Like the pressure is 2776 02:19:16,320 --> 02:19:18,880 Speaker 4: just different for all of these players, the pressure that 2777 02:19:18,920 --> 02:19:21,120 Speaker 4: they had in the past in those situations. It's not 2778 02:19:21,240 --> 02:19:24,160 Speaker 4: the situation here in LA. Like, we have the depth, 2779 02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:27,680 Speaker 4: we have talent all around. Who's going to take the shot? 2780 02:19:27,760 --> 02:19:28,360 Speaker 4: That's the question. 2781 02:19:28,440 --> 02:19:28,880 Speaker 3: We don't know. 2782 02:19:29,120 --> 02:19:32,680 Speaker 2: All right, I want to interject Bo, he's been chomping 2783 02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:33,279 Speaker 2: at the bit. 2784 02:19:33,480 --> 02:19:37,320 Speaker 3: To uh, Bo, we will fight, so Bo, we will fight. 2785 02:19:37,640 --> 02:19:41,400 Speaker 2: You obviously are a Lakers fan. Can you can you 2786 02:19:41,480 --> 02:19:45,000 Speaker 2: imagine anyone that professes to be a Lakers fan of 2787 02:19:45,080 --> 02:19:48,960 Speaker 2: jumping on the Clippers bandwagon if they start winning championships? No, 2788 02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:51,520 Speaker 2: not really, Yeah, no they shouldn't. 2789 02:19:51,680 --> 02:19:54,840 Speaker 7: No, there's no, there's no comparison. Even if the Clippers 2790 02:19:54,840 --> 02:19:57,560 Speaker 7: win eight in a row, there's still ten behind the Lakers. 2791 02:19:57,560 --> 02:20:00,360 Speaker 7: Like it doesn't It's okay, They're just a cue little 2792 02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:01,560 Speaker 7: thing in the SI. 2793 02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:04,520 Speaker 3: Bo, we're having a friendly conversation. Let's not fight. 2794 02:20:04,720 --> 02:20:08,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, no, which I this whole conversation, the this 2795 02:20:08,400 --> 02:20:10,760 Speaker 2: this conversation will continue with from tomorrow. 2796 02:20:10,800 --> 02:20:13,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, this whole conversation you guys been having, has been 2797 02:20:13,400 --> 02:20:16,359 Speaker 7: had for the last six years now with the Clippers. 2798 02:20:16,040 --> 02:20:18,320 Speaker 2: Well because they've been beating the Lakers consistently. 2799 02:20:18,480 --> 02:20:21,320 Speaker 7: But yeah, and then it comes to playoff time, Kawhi's 2800 02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:23,560 Speaker 7: leg is falling off, Paul Georgia gets hurt, and when 2801 02:20:23,680 --> 02:20:26,400 Speaker 7: we were doing this whole conversation, I'm not well. I 2802 02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:28,039 Speaker 7: don't have to put in the universe. It's already happened, 2803 02:20:28,040 --> 02:20:31,760 Speaker 7: like it happened. Last week, Seam sent out his scheduled 2804 02:20:31,760 --> 02:20:34,240 Speaker 7: tweet about Kawhi. I needed to miss a game, all right. 2805 02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:37,240 Speaker 2: So without without trying to project with the future holes, 2806 02:20:37,280 --> 02:20:40,280 Speaker 2: just based on what we've seen so far this season. Again, 2807 02:20:40,320 --> 02:20:42,760 Speaker 2: after a three and seven start, thirty three and ten 2808 02:20:43,440 --> 02:20:45,640 Speaker 2: over the last forty three games going into the All 2809 02:20:45,680 --> 02:20:49,240 Speaker 2: Star break, do you see anything different with this Clippers. 2810 02:20:49,480 --> 02:20:51,240 Speaker 7: No, they're a lot better. I mean, it took four 2811 02:20:51,280 --> 02:20:53,039 Speaker 7: Hall of Famers on the roster to finally get to 2812 02:20:53,080 --> 02:20:56,039 Speaker 7: this point for them, so that's impressive. But no, like 2813 02:20:56,240 --> 02:20:58,280 Speaker 7: I think the clip, the two LA teams and the 2814 02:20:58,280 --> 02:21:01,880 Speaker 7: Denver Nuggets, I think are the Western teams that matter. 2815 02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:05,480 Speaker 7: Maybe the Mavericks, but the Timberwolves are cool. And like 2816 02:21:05,520 --> 02:21:07,320 Speaker 7: I love Anthony Edwards, but I don't trust them in 2817 02:21:07,320 --> 02:21:09,720 Speaker 7: a playoff series. The Thunder are young. I don't trust 2818 02:21:09,720 --> 02:21:13,040 Speaker 7: them in a playoff series. Yet, like it's it's once 2819 02:21:13,080 --> 02:21:14,840 Speaker 7: they get to the postseason, it's an entirely different game. 2820 02:21:14,879 --> 02:21:16,400 Speaker 7: And we say this every single year with the NBA, 2821 02:21:16,440 --> 02:21:18,880 Speaker 7: and for some reason people talk about how these young 2822 02:21:18,879 --> 02:21:21,360 Speaker 7: teams with no postseason experience are gonna make a difference, 2823 02:21:21,360 --> 02:21:21,959 Speaker 7: and they never do. 2824 02:21:22,120 --> 02:21:24,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny. We were talking during one of 2825 02:21:24,040 --> 02:21:28,240 Speaker 2: the breaks about the Lakers. Their coach Darvin Ham had 2826 02:21:28,280 --> 02:21:30,640 Speaker 2: held them back all season long, so they had this 2827 02:21:30,840 --> 02:21:33,600 Speaker 2: starting five. You might remembered this starting five for the 2828 02:21:33,680 --> 02:21:36,480 Speaker 2: Lakers as they made the run to the Western Conference finals, 2829 02:21:36,760 --> 02:21:40,600 Speaker 2: where you have Lebron and ad and then you have 2830 02:21:40,800 --> 02:21:45,039 Speaker 2: Reeves and you have d Lo and then you have Rui. 2831 02:21:46,440 --> 02:21:48,600 Speaker 2: So you're thinking, all right, they're all back. They made 2832 02:21:48,640 --> 02:21:52,440 Speaker 2: sure they re signed everyone set, and suddenly they're not 2833 02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:56,680 Speaker 2: starting that lineup. And it took two thirds of the 2834 02:21:56,720 --> 02:21:59,520 Speaker 2: way through the season for them to say, you know what, 2835 02:21:59,640 --> 02:22:02,280 Speaker 2: we've been experimenting with starry lineup, why don't we try 2836 02:22:02,280 --> 02:22:05,400 Speaker 2: that line up? The work in the playoffs last year, 2837 02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:06,400 Speaker 2: and all of. 2838 02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:08,680 Speaker 7: A sudden, they're rattling off win after You know what's 2839 02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:10,960 Speaker 7: funny about that too, is uh, if you listen to 2840 02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:13,080 Speaker 7: any of the guys on the Lakers talk after games, 2841 02:22:13,400 --> 02:22:15,600 Speaker 7: they do not hide how much they do. They do 2842 02:22:15,600 --> 02:22:19,280 Speaker 7: not respect Darvinham like Grewchimura after he put up what 2843 02:22:19,360 --> 02:22:21,280 Speaker 7: like thirty seven points or something like that other night, 2844 02:22:21,560 --> 02:22:22,840 Speaker 7: he was like, Yeah, I don't know why I wasn't 2845 02:22:22,840 --> 02:22:25,199 Speaker 7: starting all year. That's a weird it's an odd question. 2846 02:22:25,520 --> 02:22:27,360 Speaker 2: Well, I don't I don't think Lebron has Look, if 2847 02:22:27,360 --> 02:22:29,000 Speaker 2: they if they go down in the first round of 2848 02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:33,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs, even if they avoid the playing round, he's gone. 2849 02:22:33,720 --> 02:22:34,800 Speaker 2: But who would you bring in? 2850 02:22:35,160 --> 02:22:36,040 Speaker 7: I don't know that. 2851 02:22:36,440 --> 02:22:40,160 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, as obviously it's it's got to be 2852 02:22:40,200 --> 02:22:42,000 Speaker 2: somebody that's green lighted by Lebron. 2853 02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:43,520 Speaker 7: Do you want an actual answer for me? And Monty 2854 02:22:43,560 --> 02:22:46,280 Speaker 7: can attest that I've been pushing this already. I would 2855 02:22:46,400 --> 02:22:49,879 Speaker 7: hire Rajon Rondo. Yeah, that's that's who I would hire 2856 02:22:49,879 --> 02:22:50,800 Speaker 7: as head coach of the Lakers. 2857 02:22:50,800 --> 02:22:52,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it was part of their championship team. 2858 02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:56,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's probably the second smartest guy that played recently 2859 02:22:56,360 --> 02:23:00,200 Speaker 7: next to Lebron to winners, I would hire if he 2860 02:23:00,200 --> 02:23:01,119 Speaker 7: could and should freak. 2861 02:23:01,040 --> 02:23:03,480 Speaker 4: And he did have high basketball IQ on the sport 2862 02:23:03,560 --> 02:23:04,200 Speaker 4: at all times. 2863 02:23:04,320 --> 02:23:06,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, he was coaching the team at a recent like 2864 02:23:06,760 --> 02:23:08,160 Speaker 7: he was at one of the recent games and he 2865 02:23:08,240 --> 02:23:10,960 Speaker 7: was coaching the team in a timeout. So I have 2866 02:23:11,040 --> 02:23:14,120 Speaker 7: no issues whatsoever if they hired him. 2867 02:23:13,560 --> 02:23:16,080 Speaker 2: Well, if Lebron didn't have any issues, then it works. Yeah. 2868 02:23:16,280 --> 02:23:18,000 Speaker 2: I know he welcomed him when he. 2869 02:23:18,720 --> 02:23:20,480 Speaker 7: I think Lebron will totally be on board with that. 2870 02:23:20,520 --> 02:23:23,920 Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Okay, let's see how this 2871 02:23:24,320 --> 02:23:26,560 Speaker 2: when you just love though this year, for like a 2872 02:23:26,640 --> 02:23:29,120 Speaker 2: Laker Clipper matchup in the postseason, that. 2873 02:23:29,080 --> 02:23:29,800 Speaker 3: Would be exciting. 2874 02:23:29,879 --> 02:23:30,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean. 2875 02:23:31,879 --> 02:23:32,280 Speaker 10: To the game. 2876 02:23:32,600 --> 02:23:34,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's paying Yeah for sure. 2877 02:23:36,320 --> 02:23:38,199 Speaker 2: I mean what if we had one of those playoff 2878 02:23:38,200 --> 02:23:40,240 Speaker 2: games actually going on during our show. 2879 02:23:40,200 --> 02:23:44,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, that'd be tough. But also like in fairness, like 2880 02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:46,640 Speaker 7: and MONSI can also tested this. I told her at 2881 02:23:46,640 --> 02:23:47,800 Speaker 7: the beginning of the year that this was the year 2882 02:23:47,800 --> 02:23:50,040 Speaker 7: the Clippers should actually win something. 2883 02:23:50,240 --> 02:23:52,680 Speaker 3: Right he has he he has been support. 2884 02:23:53,680 --> 02:23:54,600 Speaker 7: It feels like they're different. 2885 02:23:54,640 --> 02:23:58,520 Speaker 2: He's just setting the bar high for the fall. All right, 2886 02:23:58,959 --> 02:24:01,680 Speaker 2: let's find out what it's trending right now. Let's see 2887 02:24:01,680 --> 02:24:03,760 Speaker 2: if Martin is is sold on the idea of the 2888 02:24:03,760 --> 02:24:07,800 Speaker 2: Clippers ever hoisting an NBA championship banner. 2889 02:24:07,840 --> 02:24:11,720 Speaker 11: What do you think I mean, the idea that they 2890 02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:14,360 Speaker 11: could one day win a championship. Sure, they got the 2891 02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:17,760 Speaker 11: same shot as everybody else, right, But the idea that 2892 02:24:17,840 --> 02:24:21,160 Speaker 11: this will ever be a town that is not Lakers Dodgers, 2893 02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:24,520 Speaker 11: and that are Dodgers Lakers in that order, Right, it's 2894 02:24:24,560 --> 02:24:25,080 Speaker 11: not happening. 2895 02:24:25,320 --> 02:24:26,240 Speaker 3: I don't disagree. 2896 02:24:26,800 --> 02:24:29,040 Speaker 2: It's not happen. It's just too much history. 2897 02:24:29,080 --> 02:24:31,680 Speaker 11: How many national championships with Texas A and M have 2898 02:24:31,800 --> 02:24:33,760 Speaker 11: to win before they start to take over the state 2899 02:24:33,800 --> 02:24:35,160 Speaker 11: of Texas? Right? 2900 02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:37,600 Speaker 2: How many would Tulane have to win before they have 2901 02:24:37,640 --> 02:24:38,960 Speaker 2: more fans than L's shoe. 2902 02:24:39,520 --> 02:24:41,519 Speaker 3: I don't disagree, Yes. 2903 02:24:41,480 --> 02:24:43,440 Speaker 2: A lot, the answers a lot. By the way, I 2904 02:24:43,720 --> 02:24:46,879 Speaker 2: always I have friends of mine they're big hockey fans, right, 2905 02:24:47,440 --> 02:24:50,360 Speaker 2: And I had one friend who grew up in New York. 2906 02:24:50,840 --> 02:24:52,720 Speaker 2: The Rangers have been around forever and they had not 2907 02:24:52,840 --> 02:24:56,119 Speaker 2: won a Stanley Cup since like nineteen forty. And then 2908 02:24:56,160 --> 02:25:00,520 Speaker 2: they get an expansion team, the Islanders, and by their 2909 02:25:00,520 --> 02:25:03,240 Speaker 2: eight season they would not only win one Stanley Cup, 2910 02:25:03,240 --> 02:25:07,480 Speaker 2: they win four in a row. And it was like, Wow, 2911 02:25:07,720 --> 02:25:11,040 Speaker 2: So the Rangers all these years nothing and this expansion 2912 02:25:11,080 --> 02:25:13,280 Speaker 2: team comes in and wins four straight Stanley Cups and goes, 2913 02:25:13,280 --> 02:25:16,400 Speaker 2: I don't care if they want a hundred stands.

He had 2967 02:27:37,440 --> 02:27:39,640 Speaker 2: a long coaching career. He never actually got a team 2968 02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:43,240 Speaker 2: to the Final four, but he had made the Hall 2969 02:27:43,280 --> 02:27:46,560 Speaker 2: of Fame. I have no problem with. Then. The Basketball 2970 02:27:46,560 --> 02:27:49,080 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, by the way, announced it's finalists this year. 2971 02:27:49,120 --> 02:27:52,680 Speaker 2: Fourteen finalists under consideration for this year's class for the 2972 02:27:52,720 --> 02:27:57,000 Speaker 2: Basketball Hall of Fame was announced yesterday and one name 2973 02:27:57,040 --> 02:27:58,800 Speaker 2: on that list really stood out to me that I 2974 02:27:58,920 --> 02:28:02,240 Speaker 2: was saying, it's about time, and it's a very familiar name. 2975 02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:05,200 Speaker 2: And actually he's in the Hall of Fame already, been 2976 02:28:05,240 --> 02:28:09,760 Speaker 2: in a different category. So they have what they call 2977 02:28:09,879 --> 02:28:16,199 Speaker 2: the North American category, which basically is men players or coaches. 2978 02:28:16,920 --> 02:28:20,400 Speaker 2: Then they have the women's nominees again players and coaches. 2979 02:28:20,720 --> 02:28:25,039 Speaker 2: They have a Veterans committee, they have an international nominee, 2980 02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:28,160 Speaker 2: and then they have a contributors category. So these are 2981 02:28:28,240 --> 02:28:30,920 Speaker 2: names of people that could be an executive or a 2982 02:28:30,959 --> 02:28:35,120 Speaker 2: coach or whatever. They're just contributors to the game. And 2983 02:28:35,640 --> 02:28:40,120 Speaker 2: one of the three finalists is Jerry West. Now, so 2984 02:28:40,280 --> 02:28:42,480 Speaker 2: there have been multiple people that have been voted to 2985 02:28:42,520 --> 02:28:45,680 Speaker 2: the Basketball Hall of Fame as first a player and 2986 02:28:45,720 --> 02:28:49,240 Speaker 2: then later as a coach. So they're actually inducted twice. 2987 02:28:50,120 --> 02:28:53,200 Speaker 2: And I kept saying all these years, name any executive 2988 02:28:53,320 --> 02:28:56,080 Speaker 2: that had a greater impact on the game than Jerry West. 2989 02:28:56,720 --> 02:29:00,080 Speaker 2: First with the Lakers, then he moved to Memphis, and 2990 02:29:00,080 --> 02:29:03,080 Speaker 2: then he became the consultant for the Golden State Warriors 2991 02:29:03,440 --> 02:29:07,000 Speaker 2: and basically put a little tune in their ear. You 2992 02:29:07,120 --> 02:29:13,240 Speaker 2: see Curry and Thompson, make them the centerpiece of your team. 2993 02:29:13,760 --> 02:29:17,560 Speaker 2: That was Jerry West. And so now, Jerry, who's eighty 2994 02:29:17,600 --> 02:29:22,760 Speaker 2: five years old, what did you think of his depiction 2995 02:29:22,920 --> 02:29:23,840 Speaker 2: and winning time. 2996 02:29:24,920 --> 02:29:30,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I I did not grow up, you know, 2997 02:29:30,680 --> 02:29:33,320 Speaker 4: watching the Lakers like that, like in real time. 2998 02:29:33,760 --> 02:29:38,080 Speaker 3: So I had I enjoyed the actor. I thought it 2999 02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:41,080 Speaker 3: was believable, and I believe that that's probably how he 3000 02:29:41,160 --> 02:29:41,560 Speaker 3: was feeling. 3001 02:29:41,600 --> 02:29:41,720 Speaker 1: Now. 3002 02:29:41,720 --> 02:29:42,800 Speaker 3: I know he did not like it. 3003 02:29:43,280 --> 02:29:45,280 Speaker 2: No, he was going ready to issue the show. 3004 02:29:45,360 --> 02:29:46,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was really upset. 3005 02:29:46,640 --> 02:29:49,000 Speaker 2: He said, I'll even take this to the Supreme Court. 3006 02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:49,400 Speaker 10: Right. 3007 02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:50,840 Speaker 3: He was super super upset. 3008 02:29:50,879 --> 02:29:53,480 Speaker 2: But they made him out to be a maniac. They 3009 02:29:53,480 --> 02:29:55,920 Speaker 2: overplayed it a little bit. One of the producers of 3010 02:29:55,920 --> 02:29:58,560 Speaker 2: the show as a very good friend of mine, but 3011 02:29:58,640 --> 02:30:01,760 Speaker 2: he had wrote written about of his mental health issues 3012 02:30:01,760 --> 02:30:05,320 Speaker 2: in his own autobiography, so I think they just sort 3013 02:30:05,320 --> 02:30:06,560 Speaker 2: of took that to the next level. 3014 02:30:06,560 --> 02:30:07,720 Speaker 3: They just took it to the next level. 3015 02:30:07,720 --> 02:30:11,200 Speaker 2: But I'm very happy to see them finally recognize one 3016 02:30:11,240 --> 02:30:16,240 Speaker 2: of the most important executives in the Nbay of all time. Yeah, 3017 02:30:16,320 --> 02:30:18,680 Speaker 2: so I'm very excited about that. I like to see 3018 02:30:18,720 --> 02:30:20,400 Speaker 2: Chauncey Billupskin into the Hall of Fame. 3019 02:30:21,040 --> 02:30:23,760 Speaker 3: I saw his name and I was like, of course, mister. 3020 02:30:23,560 --> 02:30:25,959 Speaker 2: Big shot, mister big shot, and he's been overlooked for 3021 02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:27,640 Speaker 2: several years.
