Speaker 3: Jmart how are you.

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: And as we do every time I'm out, what was

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: it like with Arnie Spanner last week?

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Go ahead, ley it.

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm in a fun time. We had a fun time

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: and I'm doing well, and I hope you are. I

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: got it. This is probably the single worst take I've

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: ever heard from Arnie spinch Oh came in the first second,

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: like I stopped him. As he said it. I was

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, you're gonna need to defend that. Let

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: me do it, he said. He talked about how boring

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: the entire NCAA tournament was, and I could kind of

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: see where he was headed there, and he was just like,

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: and now we got these two blowouts in the final four,

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: and so we're in the second game. First of all,

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: at this point, I was just like wait, wait, whait

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: wait wait. At this point, like Duke was up pretty

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: big on Houston. Wasn't called a blowout, but they were

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: in control with this state at this stage. But the

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: first game was nowhere near a blowout, Like not like,

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: that's not even close to an accurate statement about that game.

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: That game was great. I was just like, that was

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: just a heck of a lot of fun to watch

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: that game. There was just a lot going on. And

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: he was just like, ah, but Florida ends up winning

37
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: it by like aight, Like, well, I think they won

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it by six, and Auburn was within four in the

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: final minute the game, and he's just like, hey, they're

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: just blowouts. It was legit the worst take. And then

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes later, obviously Duke gets beat right at

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: the end of the game, and I'm just like Arnie, man,

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: that thing aged like milk, Like that was just peak

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniard, because within the same hour he said it

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: it had been completely destroyed, and it was actually not

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: accurate when he said it in the first place. So

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: that was a that was a rare that was rare,

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: even for Arnie.

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: I will say I like that take because this tournament

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: more than any other, and we'll have plenty of time

51
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: to recap. The tournament was literally known as like the

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Great Comeback Tournament. I mean, Florida was down, I think

53
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: like four with like however many seconds to go against

54
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: Yukon rally remember Arkansas, and the Sweet sixteen was up

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: I think eight with like two fifty seven to go

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: Texas Tech rallies to win. Florida, by the way, was down,

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: I believe because you and I did the show right after.

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: I believe it was like eight with uh what was

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: that kidding?

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: The last five minutes.

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: It was like the last two minutes, I think it

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: was like eighth with one fifty seven to go. Florida

63
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: comes back and wins, So, like you know, and it

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: was funny. I filled in with Mike Harmon right before

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: I left, and I love Harmon. This isn't a criticism,

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: but you know, he's Some of these NCAA tournament takes

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 2: are just absurd, Like again, I'm not criticizing other people

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: on our airwaves. I love working with Harmon, but but

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: he pulled the outside of Cooper flag. The segment was

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: the women's tournament is better than the men's tournament, And

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: he said, outside of Cooper Flag, what's interesting about the

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: men's tournament? And I was like, well, outside of Page Beckers,

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: what's interesting about the women's tournament? Like I mean, yeah,

74
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: let's take out the best player who's gonna be the

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: number one pick in the draft. So yeah, that is uh,

76
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: that is peak Arney Spaniard. And I'll say this. We'll

77
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: get to the Master's here in half a second, and

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: we have plenty of time to recap the NCAA tournament.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: I understand the idea that, like you know, March is

80
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: generally defined by upsets and all that. But you and

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: I talked about it the last time I was on

82
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: air two weeks ago. Is that I thought, basically from

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: the second round on, it was a highly entertaining tournament.

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: You know, you go to the three final four games.

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: You know, people are saying it was the best most

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: competitive final four ever. Obviously how it ended whatever, But

87
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: you go back to the Elite eight, I thought Auburn

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: Michigan State with Broome coming off the injury was fun.

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was a really fun tournament.

90
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: And again, I know this is what we talked about,

91
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, two Saturdays ago, but it's like, I get

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: we love upsets, but I'll take Duke Alabama in the

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Elite eight. I'll take Tennessee Houston. Even though it didn't

94
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: necessarily all turn into good games, best team's biggest stages.

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was a really fun tournament. But maybe

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm biased, so yeah.

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: No, I thought it was I thought it was a

98
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: great tournament. There were a couple of duds, but generally speaking,

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: it was high level basketball and everybody was fighting their

100
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: guts out against their opponents and the officials, which we

101
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it, but I had a massive issue

102
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: with the officiating, especially in the final game. And it

103
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: wasn't directed in one it wasn't in one direction. It

104
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: was just overall, I thought it was dreadful. But outside

105
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: of the human error that's always going to potentially be there,

106
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: I thought it was a I just thought it was

107
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: a great sporting event.

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: I thought it was too We will get back to

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament about an hour from now. Of course,

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: Florida rallying to beat Houston. Florida, by the way, had

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: their championship celebration sixty thousand gators in the swamp this afternoon.

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: We'll talk college hoops in a minute. But jaymart you

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: know NCAA tournament ends on Monday. You know what that

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: means Thursday, you immediately switch gears to Augusta.

115
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: You're the golf guy.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kind of, you know, to use golf pun

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay out and kind of defer to you

118
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you know, Ry McElroy obviously, I

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: think everybody kind of knows at this point what's going

120
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: on at Augusta right now. But you know, listen, Rory

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 2: is looking to complete the career Grand Slam. Has a

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: six hunder sixty six today. Of course, Bryson d Chambeau

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: makes a run late. Bryson, of course, is two back

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: from Rory. Rory, like I said, what is it about

125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: eleven straight years, He's just needed the Masters to complete

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: the career Grand Slam.

127
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: But that's what's going on at Augusta. J Martin, you're

128
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: the golf guy.

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: I'm going to defer to you on what we have

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: seen the first three days and what it means going

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: into Sunday tomorrow.

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: Oh well, I man, Rory start, I mean, three's on

133
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: the first six holes, just outrageously good stuff, as hot

134
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: as you will ever see a golfer, especially off the

135
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: start at Augusta like that. I honestly thought, based on

136
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: how the realm was playing out, he was going to

137
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: have a bigger lead than two shots at the end.

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: So credit to Bryson, because Bryson was just kind of there.

139
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: He was just sort of hanging around, hanging around, and

140
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: then he got a couple to drop for him late

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: in the round and now he's within two. And that's

142
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: certainly been striking distance because for a lot of the

143
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: day Rory was up four and it just seemed like

144
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: this is his tournament to lose. It still is, no question,

145
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: but Bryson, you know, Bryson's reigning US Open champion, and

146
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: he can go extremely low if he is on. And

147
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Rory has played outstanding throughout this tournament. But we have

148
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: seen him come apart on Sundays, yep. And so he's

149
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to He's gonna have to exercise those demons.

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get rid of those and not

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: think about what's happened in the past, because if something

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: starts to go wrong in his round early, the voices

153
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: are gonna start talking to him in his own head,

154
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have to shut those out because he's

155
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: certainly he should win the tournament. Honestly, you're up to

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: you're going into Sunday. But the pressure Sunday at Augusta

157
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: is unlike anything else in sports, and it has broken

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Hall of famers regularly throughout the years. So I can't

159
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: wait to watch his gonna be great at that final

160
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: pairing is just that's as good as it gets, uh

161
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: in golf. And you know, this is my favorite sporting

162
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: event of the year, and it has not let us

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: down as a great leaderboard going into Saturday when the

164
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: when the main coverage took over, and so Sunday should

165
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: be should it should be a really, really tense, exciting final,

166
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: And I want to see whether Rory can do it.

167
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's the eleventh time he's had a

168
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: chance at this career Grand Slam. Can he finally get

169
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: that green jacket? Because Bryson, I don't think is gonna

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: go anywhere. I think at the very least Bryson's gonna

171
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: play at least even golf. So so Rory can't go

172
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: out there and have a couple of double bogies or

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: something like that and expect to win it. Uh, maybe

174
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: he could par at home. I don't know, but there's

175
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: probably somebody else five shots off the lead that's gonna

176
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: go fairly low and then be done and probably feel

177
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: pretty good about himself. Somewhere in the ten eleven under range.

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: I can see somebody that doesn't. Maybe you have quite

179
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: as much pressure, ending up doing pretty well on the

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: back nine and putting himselves in position. But I think

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: it should be a great Sunday, Like for anybody that

182
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: has even a tertiary interesting golf, you should.

183
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: Watch Patrick Reid six shots back, Jason Day seven shots back,

184
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Shane Lowry, and Scotti Schefler seven shots back as well.

185
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this again, you're a little bit

186
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: more of a golfer story than I am. But obviously

187
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: we all remember last year US Open, same two kind

188
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: of you know, people involved. McElroy has the lead late,

189
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: obviously missed two short putts in the final three holes.

190
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: Bryson d Chambeau comes back seventy second hole wins the

191
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: do you think, like, like, if you're Rory, Because Rory,

192
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: you know, he's been around for so long, even though

193
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: he's only thirty five, which is kind of crazy. But

194
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean he's had a few of these on Sunday

195
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: in a big tournament.

196
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Now.

197
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to disregard the fact that he is

198
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: a guy that has won multiple Grand Slams, just trying

199
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: to look year total of four in his career, but

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: he's also had some pretty big meltdowns.

201
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: Do you think it's in his head?

202
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: Because it is interesting four career Grand slams, none since

203
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, and like I said, that includes of course,

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: kind of a late meltdown last year at the US Open.

205
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, like you look at these two guys that

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: are up top, and Rory is somebody that he just

207
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: when things start to go wrong, he starts to his

208
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: shoulders slump a little bit and there's a bit of

209
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: a it almost looks like he's depressed out there. It's

210
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: just kind of a body language thing watching Rory when

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: things start to go wrong. Deshambo. His issue is he

212
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: gets too emotional. He wears his emotions on his sleeve.

213
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: You can see that. You know that just the conversations

214
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: he has with his caddies that can sometimes get extremely

215
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: animated because they just have a disagreement on a club

216
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: or whatever like that, and sometimes he can out think himself.

217
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: But his emotions, it sometimes can be they're the reason

218
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: he wins, but they're also the reason he loses, Like

219
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: he's not the same player without them. But he's the

220
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of guy that can almost go on tilt. Rory

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: doesn't go on tilt. Rory just kind of like he

222
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: needs an antidepressant or something like that out there. So

223
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: I would watch that. I think that the early stages

224
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: of the round are going to be critical for him,

225
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: especially but Rory is going to remember a Sunday in

226
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: which from holes ten to eighteen he completely detonated and

227
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: blew a chance at winning a major years and years ago,

228
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: when I'll never forget. So it's just going to be

229
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: a matter of at thirty five, is he willing to

230
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: just kind of forget about the past, get out of

231
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: his own way and recognize how talented he is, or

232
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: is something going to get into his head that's going

233
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: to cause him some issues. I think both of these

234
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: guys have the possibility not only to win, but to

235
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: do something special. They both because of the way that

236
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: they run, they both also had the tendency to spectacularly

237
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: flame out in this thing.

238
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah I'm looking right now. Was the leader.

239
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: This is all the way back in twenty eleven, so

240
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: we are talking about fourteen years ago at this point.

241
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: Was the was the He had a four stroke lead

242
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: after fifty four holes, ended up shooting in eight over

243
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: on the final day.

244
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was twenty eleven. I do

245
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: vividly remember.

246
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: This horrific What's that? It was horrific. I think it

247
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: was hard to watch.

248
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: It's so funny the stuff that you remember. But I

249
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: remember watching a final round of the Masters with my grandmother,

250
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: who rest in peace. I love her to death, but

251
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: she passed away in twenty eighteen. And so we're talking

252
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: it was probably pre like twenty sixteen or before. I

253
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: don't know if it was twenty eleven or not, but

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, kind of explaining to her, hey,

255
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: this kid's like twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, whatever

256
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: it was. So I don't remember if it was twenty eleven.

257
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: I think there was another one in at the Masters

258
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: where he had where I don't know if he was

259
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: in contention or if he had the lead or whatever.

260
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it was twenty eleven, but I just vividly remember that.

261
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: And so that was again she passed away in twenty eighteen,

262
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: So that's seven years ago. So that shows you how

263
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: long he's been in contention on Sundays. But but yeah,

264
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: anything else to add on Rory J Mark.

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: You remember the whole I like the tournament that you're

266
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: thinking of is the same one I'm thinking of where

267
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: there's one like indelible image in my head of you know,

268
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: like a kind of a white building to the left

269
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: and Augusta which he basically hit like I mean, he

270
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: hit the thing so far to the left that it

271
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: like went through the hospitality area. Ah, unbelievable, Like it

272
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: was the I remember that one. I remember Phil doing

273
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: it at Wingfoot he hit it off the hospitality tent

274
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: in the final round of the US Open, and just

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: an incredible collapse at the end of that thing. But

276
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: that Rory, the Rory collapse is one that is up

277
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: there with it. Just I'm never going to forget it.

278
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna forget that one. I'm never gonna forget

279
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Greg Norman on Sunday letting Nick Faldo come back from

280
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: seven strokes down to beat him.

281
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: Well, Greg Norman is the famous one. But yeah, Rory, yeah,

282
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: it had to have been twenty eleven. I didn't think

283
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: it was quite that long ago. I'm also seeing that

284
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen he shot he was in the final

285
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: pairing in the third round but shot a five over

286
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: seventy seven and ultimately finished for tenth. So finished tenth,

287
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: excuse me in the tournament. So Rory has had some

288
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: tough late, you know, late rounds at the Masters. But

289
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: two stroke lead over Bryson d Chambeau a six under

290
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: sixty six. Yeah, it's crazy, really quick, I'll say this.

291
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: I was actually I was actually had a baby shower

292
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: today and my buddy's stepdad was monitoring it on the phone.

293
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: He's like, Rory is crushing right now.

294
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: So when I saw that he only had you mentioned,

295
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: it felt like at various points in the round that

296
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: it was going to be a bigger lead than it

297
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: ended up being.

298
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

299
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a little surprised to see that it

300
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: was only a two stroke lead. But Rory McElroy does

301
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: have the two stroke lead going into the final round

302
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,120

316
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: so rude. I was trying to get Breeze attention and

317
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: I literally snapped at her during the break and it

318
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: was unintentionally very rude, and I feel terrible. But now

319
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: they're just mocking me. So this is Fox Sports Radio.

320

322
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: get it to the Sega and then we'll have a

323
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: nice conversation about nko Imamaliava.

324
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 5: It's the family not getting along here.

325
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: No, I didn't mean to.

326
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: It was just I wasn't really paying attention and I

327
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: kind of just was like hey, hey, And then everybody

328
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: looked at me like I was the most evil person ever,

329
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: because I kind of was that.

330
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: It was talked about, Arnie, and then you became one.

331
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: I know, he sits in this seat for one week

332
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: and I turn it to the girled penol.

333
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: Man except Aaron Torres did actually just mention the name

334
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: of his producer, Arnie Fanes to not know the name

335
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: of any of his producers.

336
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: Arnie claimed the first time he saw me that he

337
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: thought I was an intern that was gonna get him coffee.

338
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: I don't believe that that's true, but he does like

339
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: to hold that over.

340
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: My head, and he would probably ask that of a

341
00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: co host as well.

342
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually a great counterpoint. Yes, maybe he hadn't

343
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: say intern. Maybe he just said get me caught.

344
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: He's definitely kind of got Like if I saw it, if

345
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: I met him, like in person for the first time,

346
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: I would be carrying coffees like nothing for me, and

347
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: then going here and talk about it.

348
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing for you, like the maple syrup that I haven't.

349
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 5: Got, Yeah, exactly. Meanwhile, his wife is just this jewel

350
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: of a woman who gives the Christmas gifts to the

351
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 5: employees here on the left coast. And then we've got

352
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 5: Arnie the Wildcats fan. And that's the usually the result

353
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 5: of any athletic department venture from the University of Arizona

354
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: on a Saturday night, and this show's history.

355
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 3: They're playing baseball tonight and I saw that.

356
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they want.

357
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 5: Oh, we've got SEC baseball to mension later in my segment,

358
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 5: just over an hour or hour from now, of you know,

359
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 5: something had to have happened. Sure to bring up regular

00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 5: season college baseball we will take in April. Yes, we

361
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: have got to mention what's going on in Major League

362
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: Baseball At Dodger Stadium right now. The LA Dodgers are

363
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 5: trailing eleven nothing to the Chicago Cubs in the top

364
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: of the eighth inning. Now, it was the greats, the

365
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 5: greatest start in the very young major league career of

366
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 5: Roki Sasaki in LA five innings, one run, alout was

Speaker 5: Luis Garcia combined to allow ten runs in the next

369
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: two plus innings. They now have infueler Miguel Rojas on

370
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 5: in relief, and the Dodgers still have six outs to

371
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: get the three in the eighth and the three in

Speaker 5: is final, including Arizona scoring five runs in the bottom

376
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,199

00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: Cleveland and Cincinnati for Miami as well. In Chicago, the

382
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 5: White Sox beat Boston three to two on a run

383
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 5: in the bottom of the ninth. Braves won five to

384
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,280

Speaker 5: starts Tuesday. The regular season ends tomorrow. No NBA tonight,

390
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: but everybody plays Tomorrow. Anthony Edwards and Minnesota will be

391
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: playing Sunday. He had picked up his eighteenth technical foul

392
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: of the season last night, which would mean a one

393
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: game suspension for the Sunday finale. That tech has been

394
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 5: rescinded and the Tennessee Valls moved on from starting quarterback

395
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: Nico Iamlijave believe it or not, after he skipped practice

396
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 5: in an NIL holdout. He's done there and the transfer

397
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,320

Speaker 2: morning right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

409
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: So de Sega just told you a couple of details

410
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: from the story we want to transition to, and he

411
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: mentioned nico I Mamaliava. So, as he said with college

412
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: baseball minute ago, it's going to take an interesting story

413
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 2: at college baseball to talk college baseball in April.

414
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: Well, it's very much the same in.

415
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: College football, but most people probably by now at least

416
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: know the loose details. Nico I Mamaliava was the Tennessee

417
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: starting quarterback this past season when they made the college

418
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: football Playoff when they won ten games, and Jay Martin,

419
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: I'll just give some context.

420
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: I know you know this.

421
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: He was kind of the original, like nil baby. He

422
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: was the one that in high school signed a multi

423
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: year quote unquote nil deal at about two million dollars

424
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: a year when he was still in high school. Kind

425
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: of shook up everybody when it happened. But goes to

426
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee has a reasonably good first year and what what what?

427
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: What has really happened is that probably in the last

428
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: year or so, for lack of a better term, the

429
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: you know, the the the nil market has reset. We've

430
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: seen numbers for like a Carson Beck who's now at Miami.

431
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: His his family felt like, hey, we are deserving of

432
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: a raise. The market does not reflect where where we

433
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: believe that we are. So basically, they they they thought

434
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 2: that they were gonna go to Tennessee and they were

435
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: gonna get more money out of them. Tennessee told him

436
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: to kick rocks. And there's a lot Yeah, there's a

437
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: lot more details in there. As Steve de Sager just

438
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: told you he skipped practice yesterday. Uh, and I thought

439
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: once he skipped practice, I thought there was kind of

440
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: no going back. We could break it down from every angle, JMR.

441
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 2: But just you take it where you want. You live

442
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: in Tennessee, you cover the balls for years. Your wife

443
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: is a Vall fan, So I'll let you take it

444
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: wherever you'd like, my friend.

445
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: So I'm trying not to be clunky with this, but

446
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: it's definitely been on my brain for the last two days,

447
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: just trying to think through all of it. First off,

448
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: kudos to Tennessee for telling them to pound, saying, somebody

449
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: has to call somebody's bluff here. Somebody has to say,

450
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: you're not good enough to demand more money from us,

451
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: not right now. And yeah, you got us to the

452
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, but you were inconsistent. You showed a

453
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: lot of promise, but there is nothing about you that

454
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: is not replaceable, first of all. But let's let's be

455
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: real here and say, even though they've got a couple

456
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: of guys that can play quarterback and they're gonna do

457
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: something in the portal here, they really don't have their

458
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: quarterback for this coming year. Because they were planning on

459
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Niko being that guy. They liked what he was bringing

460
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: to the table. They wanted to see what that growth

461
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: could look like, his maturity as he grew into the role.

462
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Him not being there, and the way this plays out

463
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: actually is gonna hurt them and going into the year

464
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: in terms of just where they are as a football team,

465
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: because they are kind of unsettled at a position you

466
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: can't be unsettled at all. That said, they're still betting

467
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: that this is better for their program going forward, and

468
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: it is. I said this to you. I sent this

469
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: in a text message to you at some point earlier today,

470
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: I was just like, if this is what we're doing,

471
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: if this is where we're heading, then college football is

472
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: in trouble. Because the games are better on Sundays, the

473
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: talent is better on Sundays. If all of the business

474
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: is if everything is going to be just the same

475
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: as it is on Sundays with those guys, I'm just

476
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna start watching those guys. It doesn't feel the same.

477
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: What am I rooting for anymore? What is happening? And

478
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: this this comes back to when the gates were opened

479
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: into Nil and all of this stuff. There was nothing

480
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: holding any of it back. There was no regulation at all,

481
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: There was no protocol, there was no governing body, there

482
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: was no authority. It was and this was the term

483
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: that was used over and over again. It was the

484
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: wild wild West. And this is the kind of stuff

485
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: that you get from that. But we're not going to

486
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: honor our deal anymore because Carson Beck got three million

487
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: dollars to go to Miami. The most important thing that

488
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: I saw in this story coming out of it today

489
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: when I was just kind of looking around as some

490
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: of the news is that Nico's representatives reached out to Oregon,

491
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: and Oregon had no interest. I found that very intriguing,

492
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Like you would think that going to the trouble that

493
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: they have gone to and potentially harming just Nico's reputation

494
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: and making it, making them more toxic and all these things,

495
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: becoming enemy number two at least in Knoxville behind probably

496
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: one of their former coaches. If we had to be

497
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: real about it, like what's why would you do it?

498
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: You feel like you would only do it if somebody

499
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: had already talked to you behind closed doors and was

500
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: offering to pay you more money to go somewhere else.

501
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know whether what this is going to look

502
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: like for Nico when he gets out of there. I

503
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: just look at this for college football and I say,

504
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: we can't. Eventually, something's going to have to give here

505
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: because this can't continue like this, this sport, the way

506
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: the transfer portal seems to be set up and all this,

507
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: and what happened out of this, Well, Tennessee has you know,

508
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: called out to a couple of quarterbacks via their representatives,

509
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: and so their schools are now upping the money that

510
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: they're paying the quarterbacks to keep them. Like this can't

511
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: at some point, Aaron, there is a massive issue. This

512
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: is not a zero sum game and if if it

513
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: just becomes the only way you win is if you

514
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: outpay the other guy. I don't think that that is

515
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: best for college sports at all.

516
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and I do think this. It feels like

517
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 2: a little bit of a turning point to me. And

518
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: I haven't read all the articles, but we all know

519
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: where this has to get to eventually is the athletes

520
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: are basically employees of the school. And it sounds weird

521
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: and it feels weird, but I don't know what other

522
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: alternative that we have, and that's another conversation for another day.

523
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: But this does feel like a turning point of I think,

524
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: let me put it this way, even when even if

525
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: and it's funny, right, we always have these conversations, but like,

526
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody is really anti nil. You know,

527
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: I've said that a million times. It's like I think

528
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: that you know, we're not anti nil. We were anti

529
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: everything completely unregulated and obviously players being free agents multiple

530
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: times over the course of a of a calendar year.

531
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: But this just feels like, listen, dude, this this was

532
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: the one that it feels like, Okay, it does feel different.

533
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: It does feel like, you know, basically that that the public.

534
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: This was the first one where it felt like the

535
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: public was almost universally like I hate to put it

536
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 2: this way, Yeah, I hate to put his way. Screw

537
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: the kid. I stand with Josh Hypel, I stand with Tennessee.

538
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: And because it does get to a point where like

539
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: you do have Now we can't call it a contract,

540
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: but it is a contract, and you signed it and

541
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: you agree to it, and it sucks that the market

542
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: is in a different place than it was three years ago.

543
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 2: You're getting paid two million dollars to play college football.

544
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a lot worse for the guys that

545
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: were playing it twenty years ago that got Zilch, what

546
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: had no NFL career, made no money.

547
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: And you know, and we can say it now because

548
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: he's getting paid two million dollars.

549
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: He wasn't that good last year.

550
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: No, he was fine.

551
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: He wasn't the reason that Tennessee was in the playoff.

552
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: He the reason that test he was in the playoff.

553
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: That a great running back named Dylan Samson. I haven't

554
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 2: good defense, yeah, and a very good defense. I haven't

555
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: checked all the mock draft boards, but James Pierce is

556
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 2: probably gonna be a first round pick. And listen, last season,

557
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: Nico nineteen touchdown passes, five interceptions. But of those nineteen touchdowns,

558
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: three were against Chattanooga, two were against NC State, two

559
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: were against Mississippi State, four against UTEP, four against Vanderbilt,

560
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: zero against Georgia, one against Alabama, zero against Florida, zero

561
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: against Ohio State. And so it's like, that's the other

562
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: part to it as well, is listen, the market has adjusted.

563
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: You did agree to a deal, but just because the

564
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: market has adjusted doesn't mean that you are the person

565
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: that we should rip up the contract. It's just it's

566
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: so crazy from so many levels. I'm gonna toss it

567
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: back to you because I've been talking for a while,

568
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: but it does feel like to me, this is the

569
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: first one where the public said, we can be in

570
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: favor of nil. But at some point you actually got

571
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: to step on the field and perform being compensated very well.

572
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: At some point you actually got.

573
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: To deliver absolutely. And again I credit Tennessee, I credit

574
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Josh Hype on his comments, and I'm happy for those fans.

575
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: I know a lot of them. Of course, I used

576
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: to speak to them on a daily basis here in

577
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: Nashville doing this show for a long time, and you know,

578
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: they've definitely taken their lumps through the years, but this

579
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: is a win for them. Even if it turns out

580
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: to hurt the football team this season, this is a

581
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: win for them going forward. It showed a degree of

582
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: integrity that I think if you look across the board

583
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: at the rest of college football, I would hope that

584
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the schools are looking at this and saying, good,

585
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: thank goodness something. I don't know what the fix is

586
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: here erin I was talking to my wife earlier and

587
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: she was asking about it, and I said, I want

588
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: them to get paid. I think they deserve to be paid.

589
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: But can there be a max? And of course somebody's

590
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: going to break the max and go under the table

591
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have the same problem we have before it, right,

592
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: But can there be a max for quarterbacks playing an

593
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: ex conference or something? I don't know what it is,

594
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: but there has to be something where it doesn't just

595
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: turn into a bidding war. And I don't again, I

596
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know what exactly has to happen here, but there

597
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: are clearly some things that are wrong. There are some

598
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: holes right now in this sport that need to be patched.

599
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know how fast it can happen because

600
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: the doors were opened and there was no one guarding it,

601
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: and there were no gates to hold anything in. There

602
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: was no structure surrounding it at all. And so anything

603
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: that guys have done, I shrugged my shoulders. Anybody that's

604
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: come out and said anything about integrity or any of

605
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, and it's like, who cares, man,

606
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: there's no rules, like do whatever it is that you

607
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: got to do at this point in time. I don't

608
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: really blame anybody on that, but we need to be

609
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: adults here. Everybody needs to be adults in the room

610
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: and figure out how to run this business properly. And

611
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: it can't be anything goes, no holds barred, Like we've

612
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: got to find a way to corral this to some

613
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: degree because we are in great danger of this growing

614
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: beyond control.

615
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: Well, and I think the other thing is really quick,

616
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: we'll come back, we'll talk about the other part of

617
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: it for Nico. But I think the other thing, I

618
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: think the only way to do it is they have

619
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: to be employees and they have to have contracts. And

620
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm not a labor lawyer, so I don't know what

621
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: that looks and how we get there. But yeah, I

622
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 2: mean there's no there's no business and certainly not in

623
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 2: sports that is healthy. That has every single employee a

624
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: free agent twice a year every year, and they're taking

625
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 2: a step further. Like it's not just the players either,

626
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: like sometimes the schools, you know, move off kids too fast,

627
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: do this, do that, whatever, So it's not healthy, it's

628
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: not sustainable. But this just felt like such a turning

629
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: point because it was the first one where even if

630
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: you're in favor of players getting paid, it's like, dude,

631
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: you got paid two and a half million dollars to

632
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: kind of be a completely average quarterback last year. Sucks

633
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: that the market corrected itself, but credit for Josh Heipel

634
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: and Tennessee for standing in their ground. It was important

635
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: because you don't do that, I think there would have

636
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: been locker room revolt all of that. So I'll tell

637
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: you what what we will do, though I want to

638
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: come back. I want to talk to the other side

639
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: of it with Nico, which is what is Nico's future,

640
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 2: Because one is that a guy you want in your

641
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: locker room, and by the way. I feel kind of

642
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: bad for him because it feels like it's more his dad.

643
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that part, probably yes, and do you want him?

644
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: He's from la obviously, our tire Rex studios are here

Speaker 3: to Nico in a second.

665
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: I am so excited for the NFL Draft just because

666
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: I cannot do another Shadore take when I turn on TV.

667
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: Every time I've turned on TV for probably since the

668
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, somebody is just ripping off a Shadder take.

669
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: It's like, and I love Shtore. We'll talk about him

670
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: an hour three, We'll have our own takes. But it's like,

671
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: we gotta come up with another angle on this draft

672
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: besides you, Door Sanders. I'm sorry, we just we just

673
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: do Jason, I.

674
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Don't think there is one. Yeah, I know. I like,

675
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When you said you're excited about the draft,

676
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm like really like, I mean, I'm excited because it's

677
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: the draft, but it doesn't have the same push to

678
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: me right now because that's the only story, Like that's

679
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: the reasoning. Like the meat's not on the bone elsewhere

680
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: right now. I'm waiting to see where the other stuff

681
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: is coming from. And Will Howard saying he's the best quarterback.

682
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: Not sure it's that, Not sure it's that. I don't

683
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: know where it's going to come from as a matter

684
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: of fact, But like right now, it's all Shadeur all

685
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: the time. That seems to be the only thing people

686
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: are talking about.

687
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: Well, I promise you will get back to shador here

688
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: in just a few minutes, but I do want to

689
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: get back to the topic we were talking about before

690
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: the break. Nico Imamaliava, of course, the starting quarterback at Tennessee.

691
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: By now, you know, the story was very well compensated

692
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: by Tennessee. Tried to squeeze some more money out of them,

693
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: and Tennessee told them to kick rock. So Tennessee's starting

694
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: quarterback will enter the transfer portal when it opens on Wednesday,

695
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: jaymart I want to ask you kind of the the

696
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: opposite spectrum of this question, which is clearly whoever is

697
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: calling the shots for him? And I let me let

698
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: me even backtrack for half a second. I don't think

699
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Nico this is his decision making. You know, there were

700
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: reports that he was literally at the offensive coordinator's house

701
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: on Thursday night before this all blew up. And I

702
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: think he's a college kid that's trying to navigate this

703
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: crazy new world. And I think there are people in

704
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: this that maybe don't have his best interests at heart,

705
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: and maybe have their own financial best interest at heart.

706
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, we think he's

707
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: gonna play somewhere in college football next year.

708
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: He's an LA native. The two schools that have obviously.

709
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 2: Been linked to him are both UCLA and USC but

710
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: other places are probably gonna at least kick the tires.

711
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: Does this feel like given what we saw last year,

712
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: where like I said, most of did not play his

713
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 2: best and biggest games, do you feel like this is

714
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: worth the worth the risk for schools that might be

715
00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: interested in.

716
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: So, I mean probably. I mean again, you saw flashes

717
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: of why he got the bag, if you want to

718
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: call it that, even while he was still in high school.

719
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: You saw flashes of it. You saw some really kind

720
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: of special moments from him, and then you saw some

721
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: very average moments, And so you wanted to see that

722
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: balance shift if you were a Tennessee fan, towards more

723
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: of the spectacular stuff, and you feel like he probably

724
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: could get there. He's got a lot of things to

725
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: like about him. I think that, and UCLA is the

726
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: place in my head, by the way, but without even

727
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: talking about it from a school standpoint, I think the

728
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: problem here is now you are bringing in someone who

729
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: has proven to be disloyal based on money. And I'm

730
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: saying that because I have to put it on him,

731
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: because he's the asset whoever it is that is calling

732
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: on him to make these decisions. And I think that's

733
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: exactly what they are. Whether they're selfish motivated by that person,

734
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: or whether it's trying to get the sun more money

735
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, it's reflecting very poorly on him.

736
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: And so you're bringing in someone who you know, possibly

737
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: you can't depend on because he's not honored a contract

738
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: in the past. And it's not quite the same as

739
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: it is in the NFL. But here's somebody who's looked

740
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: at it and said, Okay, well, this guy's getting this money.

741
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: I was making two, I want to make four, even

742
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: though I didn't really do anything to earn double. I

743
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: just feel like that's what it is. So this is

744
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: basically Ricky row in blue chips. This is the you know,

745
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: I think a young blue chip athlete like myself deserves

746
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: a little extra. You can throw it in one of

747
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: the gym bags you got there. Like at that point

748
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: in time, you were bringing in somebody that might cause

749
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: drama you're bringing in somebody that there could be friction

750
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: because of that inside the locker room. This harms Nico greatly.

751
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: This whole thing looks awful for him, and I don't

752
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: know if that was taken into consideration by the people

753
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: that advised him to make this decision, because Tennessee looks

754
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: like a hero here. Tennessee looks like they did exactly

755
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: what the adults should do, which is called the bluff

756
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: of the young guy and saying all right, all right,

757
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: young buck, if you think you can go get it,

758
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: you go get it, because we're not going to pay

759
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: you another cent. We already offered you this. You're in

760
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: a great situation. You're on TV every single week, you

761
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: were in the college football Playoff. You've got one of

762
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: the brightest young head coaches in the country, one of

763
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: the greatest fan bases in the country, You've got everything

764
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: under the sun. We're not gonna pay you any more money,

765
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: and that and him to leave there. It's just like,

766
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to bring that into

767
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: my program. Someone will, don't get me wrong, because of

768
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: the talent, someone will. But this hurts him tremendously in

769
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: terms of his brand, his reputation and just how you're

770
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: gonna to see him coming into your program.

771
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, wherever he lands, I find it

772
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: highly unlikely that it will be a better actual football

773
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: situation than the one he just left. And then the

774
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: other thing too, which is worth discussing. There was a

775
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: way you could do this where you keep Tennessee a bitterer,

776
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: Like you said, maybe the family did reach out to

777
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: other schools where now it's like, you know, I don't

778
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: know what everyone's financials are, but I find it hard

779
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: to believe he's gonna get more money to go somewhere

780
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: else than he would have at Tennessee.

781
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: But it remains to be seen. Fox Sports Radio Ertors,

800
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 2: You know, you know, we get so wrapped up in football,

801
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 2: and I think once we get out of football, we

802
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 2: assume everything's gonna slow down.

803
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: But hey, wait, there's football going on right now.

804
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: The UFL. We're doing a UFL segment. Let's do it, baby.

805
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean I know that the BattleHawks.

806
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 3: Are yeah, Saint Louis BattleHawks, right that.

807
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the extent of my knowledge.

808
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, it's funny. I'll tell you true story.

809
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 3: So I was. I was obviously at the Final four.

810
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: And you know, have you.

811
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: Ever been to San Antonio? Jmart No, Okay, So I'll

812
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: say this. It's a beautiful city and it's a great

813
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: event city because the Alamodome is right downtown. You can

814
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: walk straight from the arena to the river walk in

815
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: two minutes the riverwalks. So in my head, I'm like, dude,

816
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: I hope they don't phase San Antonio out of this

817
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 2: Final four rotation.

818
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: So we're walking out of the arena on Monday night

819
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: and we'll get to the game in a minute.

820
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: But I saw a guy in an Alamodome T shirt

821
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: and they're already breaking you know, it's probably one am.

822
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: They're breaking down the court. They're doing this, they're doing that.

823
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: And I asked him. I just said, hey, man, you know,

824
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: great weekend.

825
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: So and I asked him.

826
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: I was like, do you guys have a lot of

827
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: events here, cause I you know, I don't know what

828
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: goes on in San Antonio when there's on Final Four.

829
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: He's like, oh yeah, you know. He's like we got

830
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: something every weekend. He's like, we got the car Expo,

831
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: we got this. He's like UTSA plays their games here

832
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 2: at the Alamodome. And then he was like, oh yeah,

833
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: we got it's UFL season right now. We got blah

834
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: blah blah. And I was like, oh, that's right, that's

835
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: a league. That's the thing that's happening right now. So

836
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't know what the crowds they get.

837
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: I would imagine, you know, maybe it's one of the better,

838
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 2: you know, better whatevers, because there's obviously no NFL team

839
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 2: in that town. But yeah, we had a nice little

840
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: uh I don't know what the team's name is, but

841
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 2: they but he was but he was the sweetest guy.

842
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: And he said that the Almodome stays busy and that

843
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: the UFL team plays there.

844
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, dude, did you just bless your heart?

845
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: That guy, the Sandy, It's the sweetest guy. He was

846
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: just like, oh, bless his heart.

847
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: Bless I mean, he was fired up for the BrahMos.

848
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 3: I think it's what they call.

849
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: Him, the San Antonio.

850
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: Yes, sure, yeah, let's see.

851
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: Sounds good san Antonio Curos.

852
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 2: They they signed, uh, they signed two players today, so

853
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: that's exciting.

854
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

855
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, so yeah, that was the thing that did happen. Ah,

856
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: that would be funny, dude.

857
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: Listen.

858
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 3: I'll say this to put a bow on the Nico story.

859
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't think there's a zero I don't think it's

860
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 2: a zero zero percent chance that like the schools that

861
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: you would think are interested in him just aren't. Like

862
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna if he wherever he ends up,

863
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: and I do think he'll sign somewhere. I think it's

864
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 2: gonna be a worst football situation for Tennessee for sure.

865
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 3: And I don't think they're getting the money that they

866
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 3: think they're getting.

867
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what I tell Let me tell

868
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: you who I compare this to DJU.

869
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: Great call, perfect example.

870
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: That's what I think he'll end up in somewhere like

871
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: A well, I don't talk about Miami. I'm talking about

872
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: like the first stop. Like, it's not Oregon. It might

873
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: be another school out there. That's why I said maybe

874
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: it's UCLA, just because what is UCLA at present? But

875
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: it's one of those kind of schools. It's a Washington State,

876
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: it's an Oregon State, it's something like that. It's certainly

877
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: not going to be He's not going to be in

878
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: a college football playoffs coming year. Let's just say that, Hey,

879
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: not even close.

880
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: Soyse State, I mean, was a group of five has

881
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: an auto bid. So no, I'm kidding, that's mean no. Yeah,

882
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: I'll say last, last, last thing is I want to

883
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: get some other stuff from the week, But I just

884
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: feel bad because what's disappointing is is that whoever is

885
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: making the decisions, and I don't believe it's Nico the

886
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: only decisions. He was a five star who is a

887
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: year away from draft eligibility. The only decision should be

888
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: what puts him in the best position to be an

889
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback. And screw the two million dollars difference between

890
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: what you want and what Tennessee's going to give you.

891
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: And how about the five hundred million dollars that you

892
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: can get if this goes well. And now, whether it's UCLA,

893
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: whether it's some school that we're not thinking of, Listen,

894
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: maybe it's usc and it all works out and he

895
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: ends up in a great place. But I think realistically

896
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 2: he's gonna end up in a worse football situation, probably

897
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: not getting the money that he wants. And I'm sorry,

898
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: J Martin, and you know this spring football done, This

899
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 2: is not going to help his development. To show up

900
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: to a new place with a new coaching staff, a

901
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 2: new playbook, new teammates. I guarantee the wide receiver corps

902
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: of the old line is going to be as good

903
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: as he left the Tennessee. So that's the part that

904
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: I feel bad about, is every decision should be what

905
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 2: is helping him get to the NFL. Listen, four million

906
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: dollars is life changing money, I get it. Five hundred

907
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: million dollars is way more sets up your family for general.

908
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 3: It's just it was just so screwed up on so

909
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: many levels.

910
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I I I feel I think here's what

911
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: I really thought when I saw I was like, man,

912
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: that's just a shame. Yes, it's a shame all around,

913
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: because I know what it means for him in the

914
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: short term. All the work that he put in at Tennessee, right, like,

915
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: and he was a positive influence. From everything that I

916
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: had heard up until this situation, everything was pretty good.

917
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: And of course he was. He had that kind of

918
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: it factor even before he was on campus, like regularly

919
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: just him showing up people, people wanted to know him,

920
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: wanted to be around him, all that kind of stuff,

921
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: and like all of that goes completely out and now

922
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: he's got to rebuild his own reputation. And to your point,

923
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: no spring football, he's his chemistry with whoever picks him up,

924
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: and it can't be an the SEC because of the rules.

925
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: Outside of that, like he's going to be slow, it's

926
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: not going to go very well. Like all of This

927
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: is bad for Nico. It really is like Tennessee did

928
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: exactly what they should have done. Nico got this one wrong.

929
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: Somebody advised him terribly, and I'm not rooting against him,

930
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: but this is one of those moments where hopefully it's

931
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: a learning experience where the next time he has an

932
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: opportunity where a decision needs to be made, it's probably

933
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: about time for him to step up and do it.

934
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: Assuming he's not the one who did it. And I

935
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: think that that's kind of where we are. Could be wrong,

936
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: but if he didn't make this decision this time, he

937
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: better make it next time.

938
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that is one thing third year kid, you

939
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 2: know in college, Hey throw up and have some tough

940
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: decisions with your dad if your dad's the one that's

941
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 2: pulling the strings behind the scenes.

942
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

943
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of pulling strings behind the scenes Denver Nuggets, I mean, listen,

944
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: I'd be lying if I said that I thought things

945
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: were perfect in Denver.

946
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: It was funny the last.

947
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 2: Time I was on air, you know, I was filling

948
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: in with Mike Harmon right before I left for the

949
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: Final four. It was the night that Russell Westbrook had

950
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: the mislay up in double overtime and they ended up

951
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: losing the game to the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Jmr, two

952
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago, you and I talked about the Memphis Grizzlies

953
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 2: at the time were in fourth place. Firing Taylor Jenkins

954
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: now Denver Nuggets, quite literally a week before the playoff begins,

955
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 2: a playoffs begin. Excuse me, fire Mike Malone, fire the GM,

956
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: Calvin Booth. I got a lot of takes, but I'm

957
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 2: gonna give you the floor because just insanity to me, Jason,

958
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 2: just insanity.

959
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's certainly caught me off guard, no question

960
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: about that. Only coach Nikole Jokic has ever had Cray,

961
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: only head coach that he's ever had any NBA. The organization,

962
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: of course, the draft him, that knows him, and of

963
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: course he knows the organization and knows Mike Malone very well.

964
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: Reading the kind of deep expose of the ESPN, I

965
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: thought Ramona Shelburne and I can't remember the co author

966
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: did a really nice job on this article. Is a

967
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of stuff I didn't know. Some things were really

968
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: bad behind the scenes in Denver. Malone and the GM

969
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: didn't like each other, didn't have the same vision for

970
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: the team. Malone wanted to use more of the veteran guys,

971
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: and basically the GM Booth was all about the young

972
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: guys that he drafted and brought in and trying to

973
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: get them on the court. So there were constantly issues

974
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: where Malone didn't want to play you if you were

975
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: one of Calvin's guys, and so you had all of

976
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: this kind of thing going on. So there's a toxic

977
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: work environment. The GM and the coach simply can't coexist.

978
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: So the ownership above him is seeing all this, and

979
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: of course it's reflected in the locker room. Like Malone

980
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: his attitude is bad at this point, he's actually treating

981
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: Calvin's guys poorly. It seems like there's a schism on

982
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: the team. There was the scenario, for example, Christian Braun.

983
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: Christian Brown's clearly at this point a better player for

984
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: the Nuggets than Russell Westbrook is, but Christian Braun was

985
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: one of the guys that Calvin Booth brought in, so

986
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: instead of playing Braun, who even Jokic admitted was just like,

987
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: we're better with Braun on the floor. Bron's a really,

988
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: really solid player and he's having an outstanding year instead

989
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: of that, he was playing Russell Westbrook because Westbrook was

990
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 1: more the veteran guy that he felt like he trusted more.

991
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: But there was also the anti Booth element there. So

992
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 1: that's a problem, right, Like, that's something that you didn't

993
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: know was happening, and you wouldn't have known until all

994
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: of the tea gets spilled after the fact. So there

995
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: were some serious things that were going on behind the

996
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: scenes that we had no idea were happening. When this happens,

997
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: it's just like, dude, want a championship for you? He's

998
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: jok guy. Are you trying to get Nicola to want

999
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: to leave the team because Malone seems to be a

1000
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: good coach. I will say one thing real quick that

1001
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: I did think about. All right, so this is only

1002
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: coach ta Kola Jokic has ever had. What has Mike

1003
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: Malone won without Nikola Jokic? It's fair what has Mike

1004
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: Malone actually done without the group that is there? Now?

1005
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: That can be said about a lot of great coaches, right,

1006
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: I understand that, But are we sure Mike Malone is

1007
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: that great? Or was he just in an ideal situation

1008
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: and he was able to maximize that which there is

1009
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: a talent there. But after like reading some of the

1010
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: stuff that was going on behind the scenes and the

1011
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: fact that the owner was just like, we're gonna fire

1012
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: both of them. We're gonna fire the GM and a

1013
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: head coach because this is unprofessional on both sides and

1014
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: we just need a clean break and whatever we're gonna

1015
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: get out of this season, we need to do it

1016
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: right now. There was one quote in that article that

1017
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: I cited from Shelburne Company where it was just like

1018
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: everyone in the building was miserable. None of that translated

1019
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: like I had no idea except that on the floor,

1020
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: they were arguing. Aaron Gordon was into a couple of

1021
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: arguments with guys. Jokicic was upset, somebody not playing defense.

1022
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: You had Jamal Murray angry with one of his teammates.

1023
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: There was definitely some stuff there where this Nuggets team

1024
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: didn't seem like they were having fun anymore. But you

1025
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: read more into it and this Malone Booth kind of

1026
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: brawl that was going on behind this power struggle, this

1027
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: arms race, this I'm not going to play Calvin's guys.

1028
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: I don't like Malone. I'm gonna go behind his back.

1029
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: All of that was not contributing to anything. And so

1030
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't look at the fact that they were the

1031
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: five seed or here and there and potentially an MVP

1032
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: candidate still in jokics on the floor. I don't look

1033
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: at it the same way. Now when I read that article,

1034
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Okay, they were making a decision for the

1035
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: overall health of the ball club, and now it may

1036
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: a lot more sense to me based on that.

1037
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, obviously, you know, I was as surprised

1038
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 2: as anybody. It is interesting, you know, first of all,

1039
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 2: it is worth noting there two and zero with since

1040
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 2: they got rid of alone. Granted they played Sacramento, and

1041
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: also on top of that, they played Memphis, who's obviously

1042
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: kind of dysfunctional in their own right.

1043
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: It is funny you mentioned the Michael Malone. You know

1044
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 3: what has he won without him?

1045
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: Because I remember it being a thing of he was

1046
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 2: the Sacramento King's head coach, was kinda fired, maybe a

1047
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: little bit ahead of schedule. He was fired like fifteen

1048
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 2: games into year two with Sacramento, and I remember when

1049
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 2: he won the title. It was a big thing of

1050
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: you know, I appreciate this organization because they kind of

1051
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 2: gave me time to kind of grow and evolve and develop.

1052
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: I'm looking right now, I believe it was year one, two, three, four, five, six. Yep,

1053
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: it was year eight that they won the championship. And

1054
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 2: obviously during the season before the Bubble, they went to

1055
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: the conference they lost in the second round. They go

1056
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: to the conference finals in the Bubble, and it was

1057
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: still another two years before they actually made that run

1058
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: to the title. And I remember it being a thing

1059
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 2: of like, you know, well, Denver's different. They gave him

1060
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: time and you know, I mean other people would have

1061
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 2: fired him first. And so I guess this is one

1062
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with you, j mart I. Still it

1063
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: does feel weird to do it a week before the playoffs.

1064
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 2: You know again, jokicch now are you? I guess the

1065
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: thing I would say is, no matter how dysfunctional it is,

1066
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: is it putting you in a better position to ultimately

1067
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: reach the end game, which is to win the NBA title?

1068
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: And if not, do you just waited out another couple weeks?

1069
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: I mean, my big thing is and we talked about

1070
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 2: this with Jo a few weeks ago. Jokicch is thirty. Now,

1071
00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: you know he's averaging averaging thirty, thirty, teen and ten. Okay,

1072
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: you're not gonna get many more of these seasons. And

1073
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 2: again I understand it was crazy, it was dysfunctional. I

1074
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: don't know that I wouldn't have let it ride out

1075
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: another two weeks. And if you don't make the run,

1076
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 2: you fire them. You were gonna fire them anyway. But

1077
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 2: clearly Denver felt it was a different situation and it

1078
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 2: needed to be done. But I just don't know that

1079
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 2: making this change a week before the playoffs makes much

1080
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 2: sense to me.

1081
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I think again, what this tells you

1082
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: is Josh Kronke and company did not feel like this

1083
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: team was going anywhere, and so as a result, whatever, like,

1084
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: we want to try to get the most out of

1085
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: this season we can, then we need to change the attitude.

1086
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: We need to change kind of the atmosphere surrounding this

1087
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: team internally, what's going on in practice, what's going on

1088
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 1: in games certainly, what's going on in the front office

1089
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: between the coaching staff and all this other stuff. Basically,

1090
00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: they saw all this infighting and they said, we were

1091
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: not going anywhere anyway. We need to go ahead and

1092
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: rip this band aid off right now, and we need

1093
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: to find out what's happening. And so again, you're right,

1094
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: the timing is certainly not ideal, and it doesn't feel right.

1095
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: The other thing is and you actually Jokichi even said,

1096
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I knew this before anybody in

1097
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: the press like he was. It's not that he made

1098
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: the decision. He even said, this was not a It

1099
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a decision, It wasn't a discussion. They basically just

1100
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: informed me what was happening. There is no universe in

1101
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 1: which if Nikola Jokic had said, do not fire Mike Malone,

1102
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: they would have fired Mike Malone. I don't think, because

1103
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: he's the whole franchise. With all due respect to everybody

1104
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: else on the team, he's the franchise and one of

1105
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: the greatest players in history, the best player in Nugget's history.

1106
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: Could easily win the MVP this year, even though I

1107
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: think it would go to SGA, and he's the guy,

1108
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: and there's no way I think that they would have

1109
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: done that. He's also been a model professional for them

1110
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: and done everything that they've asked him to do, so

1111
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that would fire a coach that he

1112
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: was in love with. This tells me that at the

1113
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: very least, Jokic was probably over some of what was

1114
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes, and so he was just

1115
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: kind of like, look, if you guys feel like you

1116
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: need to do this, I'm not going to stand in

1117
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: your way. I feel like that's kind of how this

1118
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: went down. And if Jokic is okay with this, if

1119
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: he's on board with all, right, this year might be

1120
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: a lost year. But at the very least, let's let's

1121
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: let's try to get some positivity and some optimism back

1122
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: into this franchise. Then maybe they are going to be

1123
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: better off. I don't know. It's certainly going to be

1124
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: a job people will want. There's no question about that.

1125
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: They're going to get somebody that's good, one would think.

1126
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: So I look at it from that standpoint and just say,

1127
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: this actually feels more calculated. What happened in Memphis to me,

1128
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: just reeks of an organization that's fallen completely apart. Sure,

1129
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that about Denver. I think that they

1130
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure, as a matter of fact, that

1131
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 1: there was a level of professionalism and structure that wasn't

1132
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: going to be tarnished or just completely ruined and Jokich's

1133
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: career wasn't going to be thrown down the toilet for

1134
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of infighting in childishness.

1135
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: Tell you what Denver As I mentioned, two and zero

1136
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: currently in the fourth spot in the Western Conference. As

1137
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 2: the Sager said, no games on Saturday, and that is

1138
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: because everybody plays Sunday, the final day of the regular season.

00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 5: where are we the show of record for Yukon basketball

1180
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 5: or whatever you are if something like that, I just

1181
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 5: nominated us.

1182
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we are I mean no, I mean Arnie Arney's

1183
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 2: show was the show of the AAF record because I

1184
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: remember he was a big Arizona Wranglers.

1185
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: I think that was the team.

1186
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 3: I think it was the Arizona Wranglers.

1187
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 5: Let me look at him as good as Arizona Wildcats football.

1188
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 3: He picked up a new team AAF that's what it

1189
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: was called.

1190
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 5: Wow, this was only a few years ago when that

1191
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 5: spring league existed.

1192
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: Right, that was the one that went bank for in

1193
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: the middle first season. Yes, yes, people were the Arizona Hotshots.

1194
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: How could I forget dubious about their checks? Coach by

1195
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: Rick Neuheisel, Arizona hot Shots, That's what it was.

1196
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 5: By the way, when you mentioned landing spot for the

1197
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 5: Tennessee quarterback, who's no longer the Tennessee quarterback. When I

1198
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 5: saw the headline is UCLA landing spot question mark? My

1199
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 5: first thought was they don't pay their coaches much. Funny,

1200
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 5: now we're asking price is four million dollars. I say that,

1201
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 5: I mean like in their history. I'm not saying it

1202
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 5: can happen. I'm just saying that's my first reaction in

1203
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball. Tonight's somehow Arizona one. This is the

1204
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 5: Diamondbacks team that just last night got shut out by

1205
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 5: Milwaukee seven nothing, and tonight was getting shut out by Milwaukee.

1206
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 5: Bottom of the ninth it was four to nothing, and

1207
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 5: the d Backs score five times in the bottom of

1208
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 5: the ninth to win the game five to four. According

1209
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 5: to the fotes that stats, saying that was the convergence

1210
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 5: of two odd things that happened there hadn't happened since

1211
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 5: nineteen forty one. In fact, to have a team with

1212
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 5: their walk off inning is five runs or more to

1213
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 5: take it, and that snaps their scoreless drought of at

1214
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 5: least seventeen innings. So quite a turnaround for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

1215
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 5: The Cubs won sixteen to nothing in La over the Dodgers.

1216
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 5: Now a loss for Rokie Sasaki, but he went five

1217
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 5: innings with one run allowed. He was down one nothing.

1218
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 5: Seattle took the late game nine to two over Texas.

1219
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 5: It was San Diego, still undefeated at home, shutting out

1220
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 5: Colorado to nothing, and the Angels won four to one

1221
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 5: at Houston. Tyler Anderson, the winning pitcher, had a no

1222
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 5: hitter until the sixth inning. Anderson went five and two

1223
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 5: third scoreless, one hit aloud, four walks. He threw ninety

1224
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 5: five pitches. Houston's offense went three to thirty Tonight wins

1225
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 5: today for the White Sox and Braves. Yankees beat San

1226
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 5: Francisco eight to four. Rory McElroy leads the Masters by

1227
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 5: two strokes over Bryson Deshambeau. Mceilroy shot a third round

1228
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 5: sixty six. Corey Connors is four back. Scottie Scheffler fell

1229
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 5: to a tie for six plays today, seven shots back.

1230
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 5: He's tied with Shane Lowry, Jason Day, and Justin Rose,

1231
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 5: who shot seventy five today. John Rahm had barely made

1232
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 5: the cut at two over par, as did Jordan speed.

1233
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 5: Rom is now even par tied for twenty fifth. Speith

1234
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 5: is one under tied for twenty first place. And by

1235
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 5: the way, some names you're not seeing golf this weekend.

1236
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 5: Dustin Johnson missed the cut at three over. Sergio Garcia

1237
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 5: was four over par after Friday. Brooks Koepka was five over,

1238
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 5: as was Phil Mickelson. Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves

1239
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 5: will be playing Sunday. He had picked up his eighteenth

1240
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 5: technical foul of the season Friday, which would mean an

1241
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 5: automatic one game suspension for the Sunday finale that has

1242
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 5: been rescinded. No NBA tonight. The regular season ends on

1243
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 5: Sunday and all teams will be in action. John Morant

1244
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 5: of Memphis doubtful for tomorrow with a sore shoulder. The

1245
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 5: Lakers are going to be sitting their starters tomorrow at Portland.

1246
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis and the MAVs will not play Sunday. Boston's

1247
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 5: Jalen Brown will be out, Jason Tatum will be rested,

1248
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 5: and Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell will miss a fourth straight game

1249
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 5: with a sprained ankle. As for late night NHL play

1250
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 5: at Vegas, Nashville three to three against the Golden Knights

1251
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 5: with two minutes left in regulation. Shootout wins for Florida

1252
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 5: and Winnipeg Toronto in overtime one nothing winner against rival Montreal.

1253
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 5: Utah won at Dallas five to three. We already know

1254
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 5: Dallas will have a first round matchup against Colorado, which

1255
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 5: lost today five to four against La Update Vegas has

1256
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 5: just scored late to take a four to three lead.

1257
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 5: NHL regular season ends on Thursday. NASCAR's on FS one

1258
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 5: against Sunday three pm Eastern Time from Bristol, Tennessee Alex

1259
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 5: Bowman ear in the poll. Kyle Larson won the Xfinity Race.

1260
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 5: He led two hundred and seventy six of the three

1261
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 5: hundred laps. And finally, the IndyCar Series returns Sunday on

Speaker 2: live right here on Fox Sports Radio, brought to you

1278
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 2: by ship Station Jmark. Obviously, NFL Draft coming up. We

1279
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 2: did just wrap the college basketball tournament. I think everybody

1280
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 2: watched it. I was obviously out last week, but Houston

1281
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 2: Florida National championship game. We just got to at least

1282
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 2: put a bow on the season. Florida five sixty three,

1283
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 2: the walk off loose ball one.

1284
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 3: Don't think I've ever seen that before.

1285
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 2: But your takes on the Gators closing out a national championship.

1286
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: By the way, Saturday, Florida did have a title celebration

1287
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: in the swamp. Sixty thousand Gators fans met Todd Golden

1288
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 2: and his team.

1289
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I picked Florida to win before the tournament,

1290
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: as did many and I still feel like Houston was

1291
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: the better team that night, but they couldn't finish, so

1292
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. You got it I mean, you had

1293
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: a night where Florida's stars weren't great early. They were,

1294
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: they certainly woke up late in the game, but I

1295
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: saw a couple of moments where it just didn't seem

1296
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: like there was an offensive identity and you just didn't

1297
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: know who you could trust going down the stretch if

1298
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: you were Houston. That eighteen seconds, that last possessions, just

1299
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: that had to be torturous for Kelvin Sampson to watch.

1300
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: And when when my guy goes in the air with

1301
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the ball, it's just like, oh no, don't let don't

1302
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: do this, and he had just had to let the

1303
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: ball go. It was just kind of it was. It

1304
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: was awful to watch it. You hated to see it

1305
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: go that way because even though certainly that was not

1306
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: a great championship game in terms of shot making or

1307
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: anything like that, it was very dramatic. It was very physical.

1308
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: And that was my biggest problem. I said, I wanted

1309
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: to do this, so I'm gonna quickly say this, do it.

1310
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: I know others did. I think Jay Williams even did

1311
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: maybe on TV the next day. But as I'm watching

1312
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: the game, I'm just like, there were four fouls called

1313
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game. And so it's

1314
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: not that you called a ton of fouls in the

1315
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: second half, it's that you did it after you didn't

1316
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: call anything in the first half. So if you for

1317
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes don't call anything, then the guys

1318
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: on the floor get into a rhythm of an understanding

1319
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: of what that game's gonna be. Okay, this is how

1320
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: physical we're going to be. Referees aren't calling anything, so

1321
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: you kind of that's the identity of this game. Everybody

1322
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,959
Speaker 1: adjusts to what the officials are doing in the first

1323
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, and that's what we got. And then in

1324
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the second half it becomes the most ticki tac foul

1325
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: called game I've ever seen for both teams. Just to me,

1326
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: it was embarrassing because you basically gave these guys an

1327
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: idea of how they should play based on the way

1328
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,439
Speaker 1: you were officiating the game, and then the second half

1329
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: you just pulled you pulled the rugout from underneath them

1330
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: and revealed that you were actually going to do the

1331
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: exact opposite. That, to me, is just the worst kind

1332
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of officiating. It's not even that it was favoring one

1333
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: team or the other. It was the inconsistency between the

1334
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes and the second twenty minutes that I

1335
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: thought was just not just egregious. I just thought it

1336
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: was that it was borderline like if I'm watching this,

1337
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm the head of officiating or anything else, I'm pulling

1338
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 1: these guys in the office, and I'm just like, guys,

1339
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: it can't be this way. That was unacceptable to me,

1340
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and it was a disgrace for both squads who deserve better.

1341
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: In that second twenty.

1342
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 2: Minutes, Yeah, twenty six files called in the second half.

1343
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 2: It was an abomination. And again I was in the building,

1344
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: it was. It was a tough watch. Let me ask

1345
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 2: you this, Jaye mar This was kind of my takeaway,

1346
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 2: and I'm curious for yours. So the Duke Houston game

1347
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, obviously, I'm sure you had already talked

1348
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 2: about it last week. To me, I know it's easy

1349
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 2: to say Duke choked. I think one field goal in

1350
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 2: the final ten and a half minutes. I felt like

1351
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 2: I felt like last Saturday was more Houston going out

1352
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 2: and winning the game than Duke choking. Now you could

1353
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 2: say Duke sort of gave it away, but at the

1354
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 2: end of the day, you go back to that game Houston.

1355
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: First of all, they hit forty five percent from three,

1356
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 2: They out rebounded Duke by eleven, and the game was

1357
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 2: played on Houston's terms. Duke was a ta coming in

1358
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 2: averaging eighty one eighty two points a game. They're fifteen

1359
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 2: points below whatever, blah blah blah. I felt like it

1360
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 2: was more Houston finding a way to win than Duke

1361
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 2: absolutely losing. I bring it up to say, Monday night

1362
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: to me felt like Houston just melting down. And I

1363
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 2: don't want yes, and I don't want I'll be quick

1364
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 2: and I'll tells back to you. I don't want to

1365
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 2: make If there's a Gators fan listening, I'm not trying

1366
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 2: to take away your joy from what happened on Monday night.

1367
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 2: But when you can't get a shot in the final

1368
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 2: four possessions, when you have a situation where you know,

1369
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 2: I thought, even the final possession, you get the ball

1370
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: back with whatever, twenty two seconds left and it's at

1371
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 2: eight and you're not even going towards the rim.

1372
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 3: Listen.

1373
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 2: I thought Kelvin Sampson and his team had an incredible

1374
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 2: night on Saturday. I thought it was more of a

1375
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 2: meltdown by Houston on Monday night as opposed to this

1376
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,440
Speaker 2: incredible comeback and this incredible effort by Florida.

1377
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't fully agree with you on the first point,

1378
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: just because you know, when you're up nine with a

1379
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: minute left or with two minutes left, and you're Duke,

1380
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: but you only have scored, you've hit two field goals

1381
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: in the last thirteen minutes of the game, and you

1382
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: end up not having anything in the last three or

1383
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I can't give it all to Houston there.

1384
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 1: I think there were two to tango. I think that

1385
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Houston took advantage of what Duke was doing to themselves.

1386
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, they were up forty two to thirty

1387
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: at some point in that game, and it just looked like, Okay,

1388
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: all right, Duke's a better team tonight. They're hitting their shots.

1389
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Houston looked. I even said it on the air, it

1390
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: was like, it looks so hard for Houston to do

1391
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: anything offensively right now against Duke. And even if they

1392
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: there was a moment where they had like a run,

1393
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: but you turn around and Duke was still up ten.

1394
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean, I think that both things

1395
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: can be true. But to the Florida point. I just

1396
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: the last possession. I couldn't stand watching him just sit

1397
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: there and dribble the basket, like that's what we're gonna do.

1398
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: We're just gonna we're gonna find like we must have

1399
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: one idea of what we're gonna do. And it just

1400
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: I didn't like who had the ball in his hand

1401
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: at the last second. I feel like you got to

1402
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: go down with Cryer in that moment. But even so,

1403
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: like one of the things that Houston had been known

1404
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: for in this tournament was these brilliant sets. They would

1405
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: come out of a time out and you had the

1406
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: just one of the greatest inbounds plays you'll ever see

1407
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: to beat Michigan. At the end of that game, you

1408
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: made John Shire. Honestly, I mean John Shire, there's a

1409
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: little bit of tarnish on him because they had two

1410
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: or three different inbounds plays where it just didn't look

1411
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 1: like they knew what they wanted to do, meaning Duke,

1412
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:42,759
Speaker 1: and a lot of that was due to Houston's defense,

1413
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: But here Houston just didn't look like they had any

1414
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: idea what they wanted to do. And it was just

1415
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: like Kelvin. I know, Kelvin smarter than this, Like he's

1416
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,520
Speaker 1: one of the best tacticians you'll ever see in college basketball.

1417
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: And they just didn't look like they knew where they were.

1418
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: And I just kind of looked at it and it was just like,

1419
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: did they get shook somehow in this last few minutes

1420
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: because they started playing a little frantic. They took a

1421
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: couple of bad shots. The free throws weren't there for

1422
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 1: them like they were. They were very loose with the

1423
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: with the basketball, and as they kind of deteriorated, Florida's

1424
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 1: confidence grew and Florida had the guys that you knew,

1425
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: if it came down to it, they were gonna be

1426
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: able to finish the job. But even so, Houston had

1427
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: beyond a lot of time to get the job done,

1428
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: and that that might be considering how much time they

1429
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 1: had and just the way that that game had been

1430
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 1: played and everything that had brought them to that point.

1431
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: That was about as bad a final possession as I've

1432
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 1: ever seen from a really good team, Like ever, Like

1433
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think obviously Chris Weber's time out, and

1434
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you could talk about certain moments, but that

1435
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: was like cringe and kind of stuff that was very

1436
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: difficult to watch because you just knew. It's just like, man,

1437
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: they are better than this. They're better than this. What

1438
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: are they doing? They just they threw away a national championship.

1439
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 3: They threw it away. And the worst part is if

1440
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 3: you just put a shot.

1441
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 2: First of all, you're a great offensive rebounding team, just

1442
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 2: put a shot up on the rim. You don't even

1443
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 2: get a shot off to potentially tie it or get

1444
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 2: to win. But Florida is your national champion. Certainly an unforgettable,

1445
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 2: unforgettable game and unforgettable finish, unless you're a Houston fan,

1446
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,679

Speaker 5: that is. Nuts you were mentioning college, hoops which ended last.

1499
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 5: Weekend THE tv ratings for that were pretty. Good in,

1500
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 5: fact the three games of the final four averaged over

1501
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 5: sixteen million, viewers which is up about twenty percent from

1502
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 5: a year ago when it was all on. Cable there

1503
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,839
Speaker 5: wasn't a single game last year that got fifteen million,

1504
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,600
Speaker 5: viewers and the tournament as a. Whole the MEN'S ncaa

1505
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 5: tournament for this season averaged ten million viewers per. Window

1506
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 5: so SAY cbs has a New eastern, game you add

1507
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 5: THE cbs numbers plus the three cable games at the

1508
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 5: same time throughout the tournament per window it was ten million.

1509
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 5: Viewers The master's final round did not get ten million

1510
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 5: viewers a year, average So i'm guessing The masters will

1511
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 5: get over ten million tomorrow by the, way with that.

1512
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 5: Matchup but, nonetheless, Yes rory McElroy has a chance for

1573
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 2: end of the. Show But jay mart let's reset with

1574
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 2: WHAT i think was probably the most interesting story of

1575
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 2: the of the day and of the last probably forty

1576
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 2: eight hours or. So and that's another story That disager

1577
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 2: just told you. About that was the drama At. Tennessee

1578
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 2: So Nico imamaliava coming into the week was The tennessee starting. Quarterback,

1579
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 2: tennessee by the, way had their spring game. Today why

1580
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 2: that's why that's. Noteworthy, basically long story short is That

1581
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 2: nico was getting paid handsomely By tennessee about two million

1582
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 2: dollars or.

1583
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 3: So his camp felt like that wasn't.

1584
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 2: Enough they basically tried to hold out and get more

1585
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 2: money From. Tennessee tennessee told him to kick. Rocks so,

1586
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: basically again he tried to hold out skip practice yesterday

1587
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,839
Speaker 2: and it became clear That tennessee was not gonna. BUDGE

1588
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 2: i love. It this nil stuff is obviously out of,

1589
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 2: control But tennessee basically, said, well, sorry we like, you

1590
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,560
Speaker 2: but we're not giving you more. Money we're not sacrificing

1591
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,839
Speaker 2: this entire locker. Room and let's also be, Honest, jason

1592
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 2: you're just not that. Good you're probably overpaid as it.

1593
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,759
Speaker 2: Is but Nico Ima maliava is now officially in the transfer,

1594
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 2: portal Leaving tennessee a year after helping them to the

1595
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 2: college football.

1596
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Playoffs, yeah and so we got to see what this

1597
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: means in terms of ripple effects for this kind of

1598
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: thing in the, future because this is kind of the test.

1599
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Case this is sort of the first time that we've

1600
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: seen this, happen and it's sort of interesting that it's

1601
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 1: also kind of as we talked about in the first

1602
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: hour of the, show he was sort of the original nil,

1603
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 1: Baby and so you look at kind of how this

1604
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: has come full circle For nico and how it's come

1605
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: full circle for college. Football this quickly out of control

1606
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: is the right way to describe. It something needs to

1607
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: be done. Here you are getting to a point where

1608
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: this is not anywhere near the same sport that it once,

1609
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: was and there's just there's got to be some kind

1610
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: of a balance struck. Here no, ONE i don't, think

1611
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,600
Speaker 1: at least the vast majority of us. Are i'm not

1612
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: against guys getting paid in any, way shape or, form

1613
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: considering what they mean to the university and how much

1614
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: money that the university profits off of them and all

1615
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 1: of those. Things but there's got to be some kind

1616
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 1: of a balance. Here there's got to be a, structure

1617
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 1: there's got to be. Organization there's got to be smart

1618
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: people in the room that can figure this. Out i'm

1619
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: not sure what the answer. IS i don't. Know if

1620
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: it's a maximum that you can pay at certain positions

1621
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and certain, CONFERENCES i don't. KNOW i don't know what it,

1622
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: is BUT i know that it can't. Be this is.

1623
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: Unsustainable the amount of just freedom that all the players

1624
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: have to just up and leave in a moment's notice

1625
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: and go do, this or this guy's going to offer

1626
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: me more, money So i'm going to leave. Now the

1627
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: timing of it is really. Bad but as we have both,

1628
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: said kudos To tennessee for getting this. RIGHT i use

1629
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: this quote often from The First Captain america. Film once

1630
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: they see you, running they'll never let you. Stop And

1631
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: tennessee right here, said we're not going to run away from.

1632
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: This you're not going to see us back. Down we're

1633
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: going to stand here and we're going to tell you

1634
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: exactly what kind of program that we want to. Be

1635
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 1: AND i imagine that there's a lot of athletic departments

1636
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: in other schools across the country that are looking at

1637
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: this and wiping their, brow wiping the sweat off their

1638
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 1: brow and, saying, real thank, Goodness i'm glad it wasn't

1639
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,719
Speaker 1: us that have to do, this but thank, goodness because

1640
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: this is kind of the adults in the room standing.

1641
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Up AND i think the other point that you made

1642
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: needs to be. Reiterated not Like nico's coming off some

1643
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,839
Speaker 1: kind of fifty touchdown. SEASON i, mean he had nineteen,

1644
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns a lot of them against his weaker. Opponents, yes

1645
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: he did show, flashes and there's a reason why they

1646
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: paid him. Originally there's a reason why the collective wanted

1647
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: to bring him, there and they found a way to

1648
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 1: get him. There he has a lot of things to.

1649
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: Like he also has a lot of things to. Learn

1650
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: he has a lot of areas of, Growth he has

1651
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: a lot of maturity to do on the, field AND

1652
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: i felt pretty good that he could get. THERE i

1653
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: didn't know what his ceiling was going to. BE i

1654
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: was a little underwhelmed last year compared to WHAT i

1655
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: kind of had. Thought maybe he could be a little,

1656
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: faster but there was a lot of, time and he's

1657
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: still a young guy and he's still kind of growing

1658
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: into the, role and you could see a bright future for,

1659
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: him AND i think the but the biggest issue here

1660
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 1: is that this tarnishes him and it's going to be

1661
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 1: hard to get this. Off and If i'm another school

1662
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: And i'm another athletic, Department i'm another head, Coach i'm

1663
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: looking at a guy who just showed a lack of

1664
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: loyalty and a tendency to, well if you don't pay

1665
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: me WHAT i, want even THOUGH i signed FOR x

1666
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: amount of, dollars you don't pay me WHAT i, want

1667
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Then i'm going to cause. TROUBLE i don't know that

1668
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: it's worth the risk BECAUSE i don't know that your

1669
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: skill set shows. It yet, again he's going to get an.

1670
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: OPPORTUNITY i think it's going to be at like A

1671
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: Washington state or An oregon, state or maybe it's A

1672
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: ucla because he's you, know popular out there In. California

1673
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: BUT i think that it's likely to be a couple

1674
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: of steps down from where he was At. Tennessee it's

1675
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: not going to be the same kind of fan. Base

1676
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: he's not going to have a coach Like Josh heipel

1677
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,759
Speaker 1: that is an offensive guru like. THAT i don't think

1678
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: he's not going to have a lot of what he,

1679
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:57,879
Speaker 1: has and he's certainly not going to play ANY sec

1680
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: based on the. Rules so he's walking away from A bower.

1681
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: CONFERENCE i don't think he's going to be playing Into

1682
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: big ten. Either so he's putting himself in a bad

1683
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: scenario wherever it. Is AND i say, him AND i

1684
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: keep saying him because he's the, asset and he's the

1685
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 1: one that actually has to face the consequences for what's.

1686
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: HAPPENING i, think as do, you someone else made this

1687
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: decision for him and didn't make it in his, interest

1688
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 1: but probably made it in. Theirs AND i HOPE i

1689
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: don't root against, him BUT i hope this is the

1690
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: moment where he, realizes all, RIGHT i might have to

1691
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: stand on my own two. Feet i'm gonna have to

1692
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: make the decision THAT i think is. Right BECAUSE i

1693
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: think that this group his his, representation whoever it, was

1694
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: it was part of this. PROCESS i think they overplayed their,

1695
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: hand AND i think that they felt like they were

1696
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: in a better position of leverage than they. Were and

1697
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: so we're going to see where he ends. UP i

1698
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: bet he doesn't make more money unless they already had

1699
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: it worked out before he, left and based on everything

1700
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: that we've, SEEN i kind of doubt. It the one

1701
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: story that you've seen is they Contacted oregon in the

1702
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,839
Speaker 1: last handful of weeks or, whatever And oregon wasn't. Interested

1703
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: AND i am thinking to, myself, well, right why Would

1704
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: oregon be? INTERESTED i think this is not an identical,

1705
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: situation because he wasn't going to lose his, job and

1706
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: he didn't have a bad year or anything like. That

1707
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: but this feels like he's going to land like a

1708
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Dj Uyanga La La he's gonna end up somewhere like

1709
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: that and we're just not going to hear that much from.

1710
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: HIM i think this is going to be good For

1711
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: tennessee in the long term because of what it says

1712
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: about their program and the control that they want to.

1713
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: Wield in the short, term it puts them behind the

1714
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: eight ball because they don't really have a quarterback right.

1715
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: Now they have two. Guys i'm not sure either one

1716
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: of them is ready to, start and now they're going

1717
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: to go Into portal when it opens On wednesday and

1718
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: try to find somebody and springball is over and it's

1719
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: going to be difficult for. Them BUT i think that

1720
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: they made the right choice for their university and for

1721
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: their athletic department going. Forward AND i think it looks

1722
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,839
Speaker 1: good on, hype looks good On Danny, white their athletic.

1723
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:05,799
Speaker 1: Director it just shows that you, know there is still

1724
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: there's still somebody that is willing to take a stand

1725
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: here and not just just give whatever to unproven.

1726
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 2: Talent, yeah and as messed up as the whole situation,

1727
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 2: IS i do think if you hate where we are

1728
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 2: currently in sports in college, sports this is kind of

1729
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: a good. Thing it was a school basically saying, no

1730
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 2: like you, made we agreed to, something you're getting paid insane,

1731
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 2: money especially relative to you know the fact that for

1732
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of college sports, history nobody got paid.

1733
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: Anything and, no the answer is, no like enough is,

1734
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 2: Enough and SO i, LISTEN i don't really care what

1735
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 2: happens With. NICO i think it was kind of a

1736
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 2: situation where by you, know by midday, YESTERDAY i actually

1737
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 2: thought you kind of couldn't bring him back because, yeah

1738
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 2: that you have eighty four other guys in that, locker they're, Like, okay,

1739
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 2: cool where's my pay? Raise if, NOT i metured the

1740
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 2: portal On, wednesday and so, YEAH i don't really have

1741
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 2: a ton else to add other than. THAT i do

1742
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 2: think if you hate this era and you hate where

1743
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 2: this is, going this is actually a good thing For

1744
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 2: tennessee to step up and basically just, say like we

1745
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,640
Speaker 2: had an, agreement we're compensating you very, well and we

1746
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 2: just we're not going any. Higher and we're not going

1747
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 2: any higher because whether it's because you're not good, enough

1748
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 2: whether it's because we don't have the, money or whether

1749
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 2: it's because it's gonna piss off eighty four other guys

1750
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 2: in the locker. Room BUT i thought it was ultimately

1751
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 2: the only decision that they could, make and it feels

1752
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 2: like they did really. Quickly, yeah you kind of mentioned,

1753
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 2: it but BUT i think the more interesting story now

1754
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,719
Speaker 2: is obviously where It's tennessee, go but Also, nico Because

1755
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 2: i'm with, YOU i actually don't think and this is

1756
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 2: just total speculation on my, PART i actually don't think

1757
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 2: he has another.

1758
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,360
Speaker 3: SPOT i think that he was kind of.

1759
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 2: Maybe his camp was reaching out to other schools to

1760
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 2: kind of try to raise the price to create intro

1761
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 2: in him of, like, oh you, Know oregon reached, out

1762
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 2: this school reached, out that school reached out. WHATEVER i

1763
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 2: believe they wanted to stay At. Tennessee BUT i think

1764
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 2: to the point that you brought up, EARLIER i think

1765
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 2: they thought that they could twist their arm into getting

1766
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 2: what they, wanted and they. COULDN'T i guess the only

1767
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 2: THING i would ask is IS i think you could

1768
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 2: just mentioned, it but what do you think is? Next

1769
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 2: and Then i'm of the position that wherever he ends up,

1770
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 2: ONE i actually don't think he has the next laying

1771
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 2: spot already figured. Out BUT i think it's a worse,

1772
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 2: football a worse football, situation the one he just. Left

1773
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 2: And i'll also say this, too IS i just feel

1774
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 2: in some WAYS i feel bad for the kid BECAUSE

1775
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 2: i think it's going to stunt his. Development AND i

1776
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna get more money. EITHER i, mean

1777
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 2: who is sitting around right? Now and maybe there is a,

1778
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 2: Team maybe IT'S, usc maybe it's somebody else that has

1779
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 2: just because they want four. Million they were getting two

1780
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,880
Speaker 2: five From. Tennessee they want four? Million does? Somebody is

1781
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 2: there somebody out there they're just sitting around with four

1782
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 2: million that was waiting for a quarterback to enter the.

1783
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 2: Portal maybe that team is out. THERE i don't know

1784
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 2: that it. Is De sega brought up the point. EARLIER

1785
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 2: ucla doesn't even pay.

1786
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 3: It's coaches four million, dollars so it's probably not Gonna

1787
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 3: if you end up AT, ucla you're probably gonna be

1788
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 3: taking a pay.

1789
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 2: Cut you're certainly not gonna be getting a pay. RAISE

1790
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:22,640
Speaker 2: i think it's probably the same AT. Usc that's the

1791
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 2: sad part to me, is LIKE i, said it feels

1792
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 2: like the father was pulling the strings behind pulling strings

1793
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 2: behind the, scenes and it's, like as a, father you

1794
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 2: should just be doing what's best for your, son AND

1795
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 2: i think he actually put his son in a much worse.

1796
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,759
Speaker 1: Situation the other thing is you talk about the four million,

1797
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:43,639
Speaker 1: dollars who exactly is gonna pay him four million? Dollars,

1798
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:46,759
Speaker 1: like it's not just THE ucla because of the coaching

1799
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: and their and their financial, standpoint it's what is he

1800
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: done to show he's worth? That like, That like what

1801
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 1: he was getting At, Tennessee i'm not sure that he

1802
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,880
Speaker 1: was worth that, Yet, tah great. CALL i mean he

1803
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: was he may have grown into, that but what he

1804
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,600
Speaker 1: had been paid compared to what he actually put on

1805
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: the field last, YEAR i don't, know, Man like that's

1806
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: that's a tough sell for. Me and so you're telling

1807
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 1: me that you're gonna leave there and you're gonna go

1808
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: to another team and you're gonna demand more money than

1809
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 1: that based on what we saw from you last, YEAR i,

1810
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: mean good. Luck it MIGHT i don't know who can do,

1811
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: it AND i don't know who would do. It and,

1812
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 1: honestly if you do, it you might get mocked because

1813
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,439
Speaker 1: like what do you, See like why would you commit

1814
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: this kind of money based on everything you? Know and

1815
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 1: now you also add into, that, yeah, uh he may

1816
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: actually come back next year and say he needs six

1817
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: and he'll. Leave like the whole thing, again it reads

1818
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: bad for. Him and if it if it was, indeed you,

1819
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 1: know somebody in his family or something like that that

1820
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: convinced him to do, THIS i hope they do some

1821
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 1: soul searching and figure out what they, done because they've

1822
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: made a horrible decision that's going to affect how he's

1823
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 1: perceived in the near. FUTURE i don't know where he,

1824
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 1: lands BUT i can tell you he's not going to

1825
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: be in college football playoff because he's not going to

1826
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: be playing for one of those. Teams he's not going

1827
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: to have the visibility that he had At. Tennessee he's

1828
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 1: not going to have the resources he had At. Tennessee

1829
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: he's NOT i don't THINK i have anywhere near the

1830
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: head coach that he has At. Tennessee he's not going

1831
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: to have the fan base that he has At. Tennessee

1832
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to play In Newland stadium in front

01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 1: things not going to play in The Southeastern. CONFERENCE i

1835
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,439

1836
01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 1: The west. COAST i don't know where it. Is but

1837
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 1: here's the other. Thing what if he doesn't get the same.

1838
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: MONEY i, mean how bad is that going?

1839
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 4: To?

1840
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Look he tried to get more money out Of tennessee

1841
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 1: and now he's playing for one point two million at you,

1842
01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:01,840
Speaker 1: know ex directional school out In oregon or In washington

1843
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,640
Speaker 1: or something like. That LIKE i don't know exactly how this,

1844
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: ends but right NOW i just look at it for

1845
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: nik on. Him just, Like, MAN i hope that your

1846
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 1: skill set comes around and you're able to do something

1847
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,080
Speaker 1: in THE, nfl BECAUSE i think you just made a

1848
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: bad choice and you aren't going to be happy next year.

1849
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 1: Either LIKE i think that you get away From knoxville

1850
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: and maybe you did want to stay, there but AND

1851
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: i think that that's probably, true right based on what

1852
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 1: you said, Earlier aaron of the reports that he was

1853
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 1: with THE, oc the offensive, coordinator like right before this

1854
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: whole thing blew up and they were talking about everything

1855
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,600
Speaker 1: it might be happening this. YEAR i don't think that

1856
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 1: in his head and his heart he wanted to Leave

1857
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 1: tennessee at. All but when they came out and asked

1858
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: for the money or whatever like, that And tennessee said,

1859
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: no then that's when it has to. End and at that,

1860
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: POINT i think somebody told him to dig into his

1861
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 1: heels or somebody did it for him his, representation and

1862
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 1: not only have they put him behind the eight ball

1863
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 1: in terms of rep wherever he, goes he's gonna have

1864
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,640
Speaker 1: almost no time to get familiar with the teammates and

1865
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: all of that kind of. Thing so that you talk

1866
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 1: about stunning his, GROWTH i don't see any scenario where

1867
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 1: this year is a success for him on the field

1868
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 1: wherever he. Goes so this whole thing is a huge

1869
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 1: l For nico and his. People and even if it

1870
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: Harms tennessee's ability to compete for a title this, year

1871
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: just because they were banking on him being their guy

1872
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: and whatever growth from year one to year two of

1873
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: him being the, starter whatever it, IS i think that

1874
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,840

Speaker 2: Money you're not gonna be in better. Situation and by the,

1984
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:27,080

1988
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 2: him to wrap the. Show but, like if You're Will

1989
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 2: howard and you are a fifth year, guy And i'm

1990
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 2: just using him as a, hypothetical you're a fifth year,

1991
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 2: guy you're maybe a, fifth, sixth seventh round. Pick you

1992
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 2: don't know if you're gonna have AN nfl. Future, yes

01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,640
Speaker 2: go get the single biggest bag you. Can and it

1994
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 2: obviously worked out For Will, howard AND i don't know

1995
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,640
Speaker 2: if the biggest offer he had was From. Ohouse But

1996
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: nico is going into his third year on the precipice

1997
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 2: of maybe with a great year being a first ROUND

1998
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 2: nfl draft. Pick NOW i know he has a long

1999
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 2: way to. Go but the Point i'm trying to make

2000
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:14,759
Speaker 2: everything had worked out to. Plan he was in, position

2001
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 2: he red, shirted he's playing for a playoff, team he

2002
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 2: has talent all around. Him it's like we could put

2003
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 2: a ball on it jmrd after, this but it's not

2004
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 2: going to be a better. Situation and, again he isn't

2005
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 2: a guy that at this point in his career had

2006
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 2: to chase the. Money it was all setting, up the

2007
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:34,599
Speaker 2: master plan was, working and they screwed it all.

2008
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 1: Up, YEAH i just the words SAD i said. Earlier

2009
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,719
Speaker 1: just the whole thing felt like a shame on The nico.

2010
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: SIDE i, mean it's a shame For tennessee that they're

2011
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: not going to be able to continue to help his

2012
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: growth and be with him throughout his college. Career but

2013
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: that's the decision that he or his representation have. Made

2014
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 1: BUT i do think it's sad For nico in one,

2015
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 1: respect especially if it wasn't ultimately his, Call if ultimately

2016
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:06,200
Speaker 1: he followed someone else's lead on, THIS i think that

2017
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: he's going to regret making this. Decision, yeah and that's

2018
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:14,280
Speaker 1: the worst outcome for. Him he's going to be playing

2019
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 1: somewhere else and he's going to be wherever it is

2020
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 1: that he's living near that, campus and he's going to

2021
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 1: look up and he's going to, REALIZE i didn't have

2022
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 1: to do, THIS i shouldn't have done. This and he's

2023
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 1: going to be looking at a team that he used

2024
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 1: to play for that is going to continue to win without.

2025
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: Him AND i think the biggest thing about all of

2026
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: this Is nico is going to be forgotten about.

2027
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 4: It In.

2028
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 1: Knoxville they'll be able to move on from this like he'll.

2029
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 1: Be it'll be a footnote in the history At tennessee.

2030
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: Football he's never going to have the opportunity to make

2031
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: the impact at a at a school that prizes and

2032
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 1: loves its athletics and loves football Like tennessee. Does he's

2033
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: not going to have that, opportunity and they're going to

2034
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 1: move on and be okay without. Him is he going

2035
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 1: to move on and be okay without? Them that Is

2036
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: that is yet to be. Determined but he's going to

2037
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: be going through some difficult stuff in the months to.

2038
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:13,559
Speaker 1: Come and this is one thousand percent self. INFLICTED i

2039
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 1: feel sorry for him just BECAUSE i know he did

2040
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: not do this, unilaterally but this was this was a bad.

2041
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 1: Choice it was a bad, choice and he's gonna regret.

2042
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 2: It bad, Choice he's gonna regret. It let's move on

2043
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:28,599
Speaker 2: to the guys that we don't call amateurs but are actually,

2044
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 2: professionals like college football. Players let's talk about the actual.

2045
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 2: PROFESSIONALS Nfl, draft as we just, discussed it is a

2046
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,320
Speaker 2: week From, thursday opening. ROUND i just want to ask you,

2047
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 2: this Jam, MARK i kind of joked About i've heard

2048
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 2: Every shador take. Ever i'm just, curious, like he's clearly

2049
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 2: the most interesting player in the. Draft you, know son

2050
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 2: of A hall Of, famer high profile, player. Whatever But

2051
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,799
Speaker 2: i've seen, everything not even, seen but you, know basically

2052
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 2: everything from number two behind Cam WARD i guess in

2053
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,320
Speaker 2: theory number one with The, titans but really number two

2054
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 2: all the, way he's not a first.

2055
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 3: Rounder how much of this.

2056
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:08,600
Speaker 2: Do you think is just like how much of the

2057
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:14,759
Speaker 2: reporting or the conversation is actually, tangible whatever the angle,

2058
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 2: is and how much of it is just we need

2059
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 2: something to talk, About so we're going to continue to

2060
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:21,920
Speaker 2: find ways to talk About Shador sanders because he's the

2061
01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 2: most interesting player in this.

2062
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: DRAFT i, MEAN i do think there's a lot of,

2063
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: that BUT i think there's something to the OTHER i

2064
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: think that there's there's just a lot of mixed messaging

2065
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: and mixed signals Surrounding, chauduur coming from, scouts coming from

2066
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,640
Speaker 1: those that have watched this for a long time and

2067
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 1: sort of kind of know how this draft process plays,

2068
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: out and from the teams. THEMSELVES i don't know how

2069
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 1: many people are actually being straight with what they're. Saying

2070
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 1: this is the time of year when everybody sort of

2071
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 1: smoke screens what they want to. DO i am, not

2072
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: like supremely high On shador in the. Pros loved watching

2073
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: him in. COLLEGE i don't know what he's going to

2074
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,120
Speaker 1: be in. PROS i really. DON'T i feel a lot

2075
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 1: better about Cam, ward as does just about everybody. Else

2076
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 1: SO i think the question is just is somebody gonna jump,

2077
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: up whether it's the team that's there now and taking,

2078
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 1: more somebody gonna jump up and needs a quarterback and risk,

2079
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: it BECAUSE i do think there's a high risk potential

2080
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: With Shadoor sanders that doesn't, exist for, example With Can't.

2081
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 1: Ward BUT i think some of the discourse is overblown

2082
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: because it needs to, be because this draft just Isn't

2083
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of meat on this. Bone

2084
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the talking, points there's usually a little

2085
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 1: bit more than. This not in this, case there really hasn't.

2086
01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: BEEN i, mean there's been a little bit here With Jackson,

2087
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,839
Speaker 1: dart but there's not like there's not The Zach wilson

2088
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: story out of nowhere this. Year there's not sort of

2089
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 1: this manufactured thing the tray line or something like. That

2090
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 1: there's not. That and we know what the first pick

2091
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: is going to. Be AND i don't think anybody will

2092
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 1: be surprised When tennessee steps up and takes Cam. WARD

2093
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 1: i think they love, him AND i think that what

2094
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 1: they did did during the spring indicates that that's exactly

2095
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 1: where they're headed as a relations to should do? IT

2096
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 1: i just don't. Know AND i think that a lot

2097
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: of it is because It's dion's, kid and So dion's

2098
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:25,400
Speaker 1: going to say a couple of things which he has

2099
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,800
Speaker 1: and should do her is you, know he's a little

2100
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: confident borderline, ARGANT i, Think and so it kind of

2101
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 1: makes for an easy and easy. Headline AND i think

2102
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 1: it's going to continue all the way up until the

2103
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:42,719
Speaker 1: draft and we'll see whether or not he falls and

2104
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 1: we have that kind of a moment or. NOT i don't.

2105
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:48,040
Speaker 1: KNOW i still tend to think he goes in the

2106
01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 1: top ten. SOMEWHERE i just. DO i don't think that's

2107
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 1: going to be some precipitous fall. Off somebody out, there

2108
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 1: somebody in the league wants. Him there are some TEAMS

2109
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: i think that have no interest in him at all

2110
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 1: because of some of the other things that surround. It

2111
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 1: but SOMEBODY i feel like it's going to take him

2112
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 1: fairly early and just feel, like, look if he turns

2113
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 1: out to be the, guy and if, somebody if there

2114
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 1: is a team out there that really likes him at,

2115
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 1: quarterback they should take. Him. Absolutely if you think that

2116
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:19,519
Speaker 1: there is a guy in this draft that can play

2117
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: quarterback for you and you're in need of a, quarterback

2118
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 1: you don't have the luxury not to take. Him SO

2119
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,200
Speaker 1: i still think he probably goes within the top. Ten

2120
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 1: so where are you on all of this in terms

2121
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: of what you think is true and not about all this.

2122
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,880
Speaker 2: Discourse, YEAH i Think i'm with. YOU i think he

2123
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 2: goes in the top. Ten AND i, think, listen whatever

2124
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 2: you think of, him it's a supply and demand. ISSUE i,

2125
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 2: mean even if some of these quarterback situations have been

2126
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,439
Speaker 2: figured out in the short term or we think the long,

2127
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 2: term you, know just as an, example like The New York,

2128
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 2: jets they needed a quarterback eight weeks, ago and now

2129
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 2: we think that they are riding with justin fields for

2130
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 2: the foreseeable. Future the only REASON i bring it up

2131
01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 2: is because somebody is going to need a quarterback at some.

2132
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:02,639
Speaker 2: Point AND i also think some of it, too is

2133
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 2: LIKE i just think it's the, discourse, right is THAT

2134
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 2: i think we have way too much. TIME i think

2135
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:14,800
Speaker 2: we overblow things that we shouldn't, Overblow like somebody, reporting,

2136
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 2: OH i spoke to AN nfl front office exec who

2137
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 2: says that he does not Believe shdor is a first round.

2138
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:22,640
Speaker 2: Pick i'm just using that as a. Hypothetical but we

2139
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 2: know that that has. Happened, okay, Right, well.

2140
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 3: Guess what.

2141
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 2: ONE nfl exec does not speak for the ENTIRE, nfl you.

2142
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 2: Know and it's LIKE i always say, this but it's

2143
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 2: like ONE nfl exec says he's not a first he's

2144
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 2: not a first round. Talent, okay, well is that A?

2145
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 2: Gm is that a person that's in a decision making?

2146
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 2: Role do they have a? Quarterback are they even evaluating?

2147
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 1: Him you?

2148
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 2: Know but it's like because it's THE nfl, draft that

2149
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 2: becomes a. Discourse, Right so If Daniel jeremiah Or Bucky

2150
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 2: brooks or Saying i'm just using these people as. Examples

2151
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,960
Speaker 2: but Like Bucky, brooks he's our. Buddy he works, here

2152
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 2: he's great at what he. Does his name carries. Weight

2153
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 2: If Bucky brooks says a buddy of you, know a

2154
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 2: front office exec like, that that can that can be

2155
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 2: a story that takes off like wildfire And, bucky if you're,

2156
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 2: LISTENING i love. You this is not. Whatever i'm Just

2157
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 2: i'm just using him as an. Example, like these things

2158
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 2: can become a discourse so. Quick that's, Oh chador is

2159
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 2: not a first drump. Pick it's, like, well who Says

2160
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:21,719
Speaker 2: schador is not a first drump pick because one front

2161
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,439
Speaker 2: office guy told one reporter like and SO.

2162
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 3: I just think.

2163
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 2: It it then feeds into the, discourse AND i think

2164
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:30,400
Speaker 2: we we go through this every. YEAR i think that

2165
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 2: we go through it every. Year with the quarterback, position

2166
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 2: it is an overvalued. Position you overpay for. It you're

2167
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 2: all the supply is never going to exceed the. Demand

2168
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 2: AND i just look, at, uh you, know whether it

2169
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,759
Speaker 2: Is obviously we Think tennessee's going with the with with

2170
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 2: with Kim.

2171
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 3: Ward but is it The?

2172
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: Giants is it you, Know, uh probably not The raiders

2173
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,840
Speaker 2: because they Signed Geno smith long, Term but, like is

2174
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:56,600
Speaker 2: it The?

2175
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,600
Speaker 3: Saints you go on and on that. LIST i just

2176
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 3: there's there's only so many.

2177
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks we know it's a bad quarterback, class AND i

2178
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:06,040
Speaker 2: JUST i don't see the scenario where he really. FALLS

2179
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 2: i think it's been largely overblown because he's the most interesting.

2180
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:10,639
Speaker 3: Player we need something to talk.

2181
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 1: About, Yeah AND i do think that there are some

2182
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:16,559
Speaker 1: THAT i think some want to get out in front

2183
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 1: of this because they know they're not going to be

2184
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:22,479
Speaker 1: called to actually account for this if he turns out

2185
01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 1: to be. Good but if he turns out to be,

2186
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 1: bad there's a whole lot of people on record sort

2187
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 1: of being skeptical so that they can use this and

2188
01:51:29,439 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 1: say told YOU i was on this one from the very.

2189
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 1: Beginning it's just kind of the nature of the beast.

2190
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 1: Here AND i think that it's probably the best that

2191
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:40,720
Speaker 1: you make in this, case because there are there's a

2192
01:51:40,720 --> 01:51:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of things about The chaudor situation and the way

2193
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: that he plays in his style and all those kinds

2194
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 1: of things that we'll. See but there's a definite bust

2195
01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 1: potential when it comes to what he's able to, do

2196
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: what his ceiling, is especially with what is likely going

2197
01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: to be a bad offensive line and not a ton

2198
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:01,759
Speaker 1: of weapons around. Him he's not going to have A traffis,

2199
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 1: center to say the. Least, now he didn't have a

2200
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,599
Speaker 1: great offensive line either year At, colorado but he got

2201
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:11,800
Speaker 1: mauled as. Well so but there's also stuff, like And

2202
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 1: i've seen, this he pats the. FOOTBALL i think that's.

2203
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: OVERBLOWN i Think Brady quinn actually made that point On

2204
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 1: Two pros and a couple Of joe a couple of weeks,

2205
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 1: ago and it was a smart. Point not a surprise

2206
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 1: coming From, brady especially about the quarterback. Position but just

2207
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 1: he's patting the, ball he's going through his, progressions he's

2208
01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 1: going through his. Reeds let's not overreact to every little

2209
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 1: thing that he's. Doing because his name is shaud Or.

2210
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 1: Sanders As i've said many times about a lot of these,

2211
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,439
Speaker 1: GUYS i hope they're all, good, man because we have

2212
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,000
Speaker 1: a better. League the more good quarterbacks we, have the

2213
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: better and Should doure and his you, know the just

2214
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 1: the kind of charisma that he carries and stuff like

2215
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: that'd be great for. Football if he's. GOOD i really

2216
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:55,800
Speaker 1: hope that he, is SO i tend to, think, yeah

2217
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,519
Speaker 1: they Needed there needs to be some storylines surrounding this,

2218
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:01,679

01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:10,120
Speaker 2: the pecking. Order of most important people in that championship said,

2260
01:55:10,240 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 2: QUOTE i Believe i'm the best quarterback in this. CLASS

2261
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 2: i think there's unbelievable, talent but if you're going to

2262
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 2: be a, competitor at the end of the, day you

2263
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:19,480
Speaker 2: have to believe in. Yourself AND i think that's what

2264
01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 2: helps me get through those adverse. TIMES i Believe i'm

2265
01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:26,880
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in this. Class jason cool story bro

2266
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 2: whoa shots?

2267
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 3: FIRED i mean he's. Not was he the best quarterback

2268
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 3: At Ohio state last?

2269
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 1: Year that's a good.

2270
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 3: Question, yeah we won't know for a few, years BUT

2271
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 3: i think the answer might not even be yes on.

2272
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: That. Yeah so a lot of this comes down to

2273
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 1: if you read read the article on he had a

2274
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 1: just an awful performance at The, combine like one of

2275
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: the worst quarterback performances in the history of The combine

2276
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:00,720
Speaker 1: according to people that watched. It and basically after that

2277
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 1: he basically kind of said. This NOW i understand what he's,

2278
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 1: saying because the second part of the quote is, basically

2279
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 1: this is what you have to tell yourself if you

2280
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 1: want to. SUCCEED i get, that but you don't have

2281
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 1: to say it out loud to other people like you

2282
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:21,800
Speaker 1: can psych yourself up without looking foolish in the. Process

2283
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not That Will howard is borderline first round. TALENT

2285
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:36,000

2286
01:56:36,040 --> 01:56:39,880
Speaker 1: that he was a football. Player quite, frankly he lost

2287
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:42,680
Speaker 1: his job multiple. TIMES i think At Kansas. State he's

2288
01:56:42,720 --> 01:56:45,880
Speaker 1: obviously a good competitor and certainly at times has had

2289
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:47,840
Speaker 1: some really good stuff and look really good in a

2290
01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:52,640

2291
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:54,360

Speaker 1: the best quarterback in theft and so you can do

2294
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 1: this self motivational, Stuff but when you say it in

2295
01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 1: an interview like, this it just reads all, wrong and

2296
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:12,400
Speaker 1: it also reads. Phony it's just, like basically you're admitting

2297
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: by saying that out loud that even you don't really buy.

2298
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:18,600
Speaker 1: It you just have to tell yourself. That so that

2299
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: didn't help you very much at. All but when you

2300
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 1: actually go and you read the headline of the article

2301
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: and the big splash screen when they put it up

2302
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:27,680
Speaker 1: and all, this it Was Will howard thinks he's the

2303
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 1: best quarterback in this. Draft that's how it's. Written it's

2304
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 1: not even written in the full context of what you

2305
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 1: were trying to. Say so the message that you were

2306
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 1: trying to get out, there they just took that headline

2307
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:42,360
Speaker 1: and ran with, it and then everybody else did. Too Sports.

2308
01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:45,800

2322
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 2: might not have even been the best quarterback on That

2323
