1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: What is up straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Straight Buyer for Monday, March the third. Oh, anybody watched

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: the Academy Awards last night? I did not because I

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: was watching the Lakers. Oh my gosh, the Lake Show.

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: We'll probably talk about them later, although you know, I

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: feel like Rob thinks I'm just doing too much Lakers coverage.

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: But how can you not be excited about this frigging

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: team Lucas not even close to one hundred percent and

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: they look so good. Well, we'll do a lot of

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: NFL obviously, two big moves over the weekend NFL Combine Action,

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: I had a posted a mock draft at Fox sports

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: dot com. Overall, the weekend was great. Play a little

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: beach volleyball, which was a lot of fun. Daughter had

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: a volleyball tournament, daughter had a basketball Sun's basketball game

16
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: was canceled. I'll say this quickly. Nobody cares about you sports,

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: but it is strange seeing how little priority basketball seems

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 2: to have among kids in like the middle school range.

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: It's just difficult because kids are starting to get into

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: club sports. Club sports gets competitive and it's if you've

21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: got like a local basketball league game, or a club

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: soccer or club lacrosse or club baseball or club back whatever,

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: you're prioritizing that obviously you're paying. And in some of

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: these sports, if you skip tournaments, you kind of fall

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: in the pecking order. I got to get your spot back,

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: and so basketball just it's kind of followed. We've had

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: like three canceled games this season. It's just disappointing. It's

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 2: just not as fun now, you know. My love hoops.

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Obviously we're the number two seed in the men's league.

30
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: We have a buy in the first round, but in

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: the other I mean three men's leagues at the same time,

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: which is I don't recommend at all. So we're in.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: We got to buy and we were in the semifinals

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: next Sunday, and then we have the semifinals tonight in

35
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: the thirty five and up league, which I'm really cooking in.

36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, so I love hoops and you could tell

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: obviously from the podcast listening to me talk. If you

38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: know me, see me around, I'm always like trying to

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: shoot hoops. It's just fun. I find it really exciting,

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: way more exciting than the oscars. And I haven't seen

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: half the movies that they're talking about. Some of these

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: actors I'd never heard of before. That doesn't mean the

43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: movies aren't good, but you know, I saw a lot

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: of people talking about stuff like, well, Alfred Hitchcock never

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: won a Best Director and Bill Murray's never won an

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: oscar and Saving Private Ryan, which is like one of

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: the great war movies of all time, did not win

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the Academy Award. Kubrick never won a Best Director, Shawshank

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: did not win anything. It's it's weird the Academy Awards.

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: And I do want to try to watch some of

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: the movies, but there's just so much good stuff going

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: on right now. Cobra Kai, by the way, Cobra Friggin'

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 2: Kai is so good. And for this final like five

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: or six episodes or whatever, I'm really nursing it. I'm

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: not like buzzing through them. I'll watch like twenty minutes here,

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: thirty minutes there and really savoring the moments because I

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: know it's gonna end. And Karate Kid is one of

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: my all time favorite movies. You know, it's like the

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: guys who love Michael Jordan thinks the eighties Basketball was

60
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: the greatest ever. Most of my favorite movies that I

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: can watch over and over and over and over are

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: from the eighties and nineties, you know, like Rocky four,

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Karate Kid, daysty Confused. Like if I'm flipping through TBS

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: and I see those on, I'm still watching them. It's

65
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I can repeat all the lines. I just

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, I have like a deep connection to them,

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: so I deeply love them. And a lot of these movies. Lately,

68
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: I haven't been to a theater much, but I do

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: like going to movie theaters. Like getting out of the

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: house to watch the movies very good because you're now

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: on your phone. You're not pausing to like, you know,

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: see who's at the door, you know, like, oh I

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: forgot I got to send this email, Like you're not

74
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: doing that when you're in a movie theater. Anyways, let's

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: start the podcast. Oh obviously gotta talk. March Madness is here,

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: your boy, I know if you guys follow me on IG.

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: I started March March first, Saturday, eight and two betting

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: it was a monster Saturday. Of course, bounce back Sunday

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: with a one and three two strange losses where the

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: team I was backing, had significant leads first half, and

81
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: then just completely collapsed in like the final eight to

82
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: ten minutes. Like I'm talking massive collapse. It didn't even

83
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: come close to covering. That's March for you. We're gonna

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 2: start hetting some March Madness guests on. I don't mind

85
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: telling you guys the strategy that I have. I was

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 2: just talking about with somebody in They're like, oh my gosh,

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: that's a lot of work. I'm like, not really, it's

88
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: really You go to three websites, check the numbers, and

89
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: it's not that hard. Now, obviously the numbers, you know,

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: aren't always gonna predict the outcome, but you can have

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: an idea when you see discrepancy. Anyways, we'll get into

92
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: it later, but obviously we got to start with the

93
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: big news that popped. I'm gonna start with what went

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: down Saturday as opposed to the Matt Stafford resigning. With

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: the Rams resigning is fine, but it's a little less exciting.

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: So I'll start with Deebo Samuel going to the Washington commanders.

97
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: And it was actually pretty fascinating because Deebo Samuel has

98
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: had for a fifth round pick, a fifth row pick

99
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: that's it. Now. I know people are yelling, well, wait

100
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: what about his cap hit? And he's owed seventeen million,

101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: he's washed. Like, guys, just settled down, Relax. You're gonna

102
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: freak out about a substandard season by Deebo Samuel. Like

103
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 2: the whole team sucked, they were spent from the Super Bowl,

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: McCaffrey got hurt, the injury, snowball, and it was it

105
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: was a lost season. Debo was throwing a punch.

106
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: At a holder.

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a frustrating kind of season. Like this idea,

108
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: idea that Deebo Samuel is not a good teammate and

109
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: who would want him? And I can't believe, like Jason,

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: they were going to release him. No, they were not

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: going to release him. Somebody was going to trade for

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel. Think about this, and I looked at this

113
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: last season, the Cowboys gave up a fourth round pick

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: for Jonathan Mingo. Fourth a fourth round pick Jonathan Mingo.

115
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: The Washington Commanders got Debo for a fifth And I'm

116
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: just telling you, I'm looking at the history of the draft.

117
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm such a I just like the draft a lot.

118
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: And if you look, I'll just pick a few years

119
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: go look a go twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen, Go

120
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: look at the fourth and fifth round picks.

121
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Just go look at him.

122
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: And I'm just telling you you cannot find a guy

123
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: in the fourth and fifth round who's going to have

124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 2: an immediate one year impact like Deebo Samuel. You can't.

125
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: It's very rare that someone comes in is instantly a

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: home run. It just it doesn't happen. Now, do you

127
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: have guys who exceed expectations, Sure, but I'm talking like

128
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel. We're talking about the yak King guys. I

129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: saw at incredible stat yards after the catch. Deebo Samuel

130
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: number one in the NFL the last four years. You

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: go the last four years combined, Deebo Samuel number one

132
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: in yards after the catch in the league. Jamar Chase

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: a distant second. So this idea that, oh, Deebo had

134
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: a bad season, it's probably over. No, he had a

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: down season. That's undeniable. That happens, and historically he's been tremendous.

136
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Even if he's not one hundred percent of what he

137
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: was and he's eighty five to ninety, you're still looking

138
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: at an awesome player and awesome talent. A guy that

139
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury's going to be able to scheme stuff up

140
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: for Terry McLaurin. You know, go look at that Philadelphia game.

141
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin could do nothing. He could not get unshackled

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: when it mattered. I think he put up a garbage

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: time touchdown, but they he could not get loose against

144
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: that Philly secondary. And you know you roll over the

145
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: safety help. You're like, all right, well we'll challenge Diami

146
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Brown to beat us. And I think he's a free agent,

147
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: by the way, It's like, okay, we need another weapon underneath.

148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: Zach Ertz was a good tight end. He's getting a

149
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: little long in the tooth. They had some running back injuries.

150
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you you you bring Deebo Samuel into

151
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: this offense, he's not gonna separate. He's not a downfield threat.

152
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: Like you just got to know what you're getting a

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: yack king, a guy who is gonna be schemed up

154
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: so that yards after the catch are gonna be all

155
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel. Get him the ball in space and let

156
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: him go to work. It's tough for DB's to bring

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: him down, right. Can you have a safety bring him down. Sure,

158
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: but I think Debo's gonna win a lot of those battles.

159
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: And then you look at like a linebacker. He's just

160
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: gonna outrun those guys. He's a difficult matchup. And I

161
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: do believe this is an awesome, awesome move for the

162
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. I think it's just tremendous. Actually I don't.

163
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm stunned that nobody else was like, hey, yeah, well

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: let's give up a fourth round pick. Like I just

165
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: I find that absolutely galling that no one else was

166
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: willing to be like, yeah, let me get me, let

167
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: me get in the Deebo Samuel business for a fourth

168
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: round pick. When Jonathan Mingo went for a freaking fourth

169
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: round pick. Now we know the Cowboys are run like

170
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: ass and they're playing on the uh. Mingo's a little

171
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: cheaper because he was on his rookie deal and more

172
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: of an upside play. But guys, the reality is like,

173
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: this was a major steal for the Washington Commanders. I

174
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: love it. I think this. I mean, I'm not saying

175
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: they're gonna go back to what they were last year,

176
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: but it shows, Hey, we're kind of all in now.

177
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: Of course, Eagles fans are like, hey, you know what's next.

178
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: Howie Rose was gonna go get us some Miles Garrett. Well,

179
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: we'll see about that. I don't know if that will

180
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: actually happen, but I do think this Deebo Samuel move

181
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: is extremely good. And just remember Cliff Kingsbury one of

182
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: the best play callers in the league. You may not

183
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: have liked him as a head coach in Arizona, but

184
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: scheming up stuff. Man, Now you get an off season

185
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: with Debo in the building. I love it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: Also move, I like, if you're the Rams, is you're

191
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: keeping Matt Stafford. They announced that Friday that they are.

192
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: They let Matt Stafford get permissioned to go, Hey, man,

193
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: you know you've been with a girlfriend where you're like,

194
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm kind of on the rock. Maybe we should see

195
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: other people. And then you go see other people and

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: the grass is either greener or it's not. Well. Stafford

197
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 2: went out to see what the grass was like, and

198
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: I guess the Rams had second thoughts and We're like, no, no, no, no,

199
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: we gotta keep, we gotta keep. Matt Stafford cannot let

200
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: them go because the Raiders were a legit threat. The

201
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Giants were a legit threat. I don't think this was Hey,

202
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: we just need a leverage play. I think he would

203
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: have definitely gone to either of those, and now he's

204
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: staying with the Rams and the big losers here are

205
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: the New York Giants, because now you are up the

206
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: creek without a paddle, and these are your options. If

207
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: you're the New York Giants at quarterback. I'm assuming that

208
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: cam Ward is still gonna go one and Shoudur is

209
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: gonna go too. There's some people out there who keep

210
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: floating the Shadur could fault the six guy. I just

211
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: don't see that happening. I don't. I mean, we've been

212
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: over this. The Titans need a quarterback now. If you

213
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: if you're giving me three first round picks, then yeah,

214
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: I guess I would. I would trade the number one pick.

215
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: But that's not happening. I looked this up. So there

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: is some chatter that the Jets or Giants could move

217
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: up for cam or Shador, and I'm sure that's being floated.

218
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: By you know, the Titans, the Browns, trying to maximize

219
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: what they can get in return, right, hey man, it

220
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: is a big market, big time market for these guys.

221
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: Any up, and you're trying to get a bidding war

222
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: started from the Jets and Giants, two of the worst

223
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: franchises in the league over the last five years. So

224
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: my guess would be that the Jets don't trade up.

225
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: They're at seven. They did trade up for Mark Sanchez

226
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine. Maybe I'll get Sanchez on

227
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: the podcast ask them about this because I remember it

228
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: well obviously, And they gave up their first and their second,

229
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: the seventeenth pick and the fifty second to go up

230
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: to five. And then Cleveland was just in the business

231
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: of just flipping picks and they ended up getting a

232
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: ton of players in return. But the Jets actually ended

233
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: up going to the AFC Championship two seasons in a

234
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: row with Mark Sanchez, which to me, that's a huge win.

235
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: You know, that's just massive when you go to two

236
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: AFC Championship for trading up, which made sense. But now

237
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: because the price is so high, you see what they

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: paid for Bryce Young, that was a terrible deal. And

239
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, it's like, oh, well, do

240
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: the Jets or Giants move up? Do they need to

241
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: make a deal? And I say that because at six,

242
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: the Giants' options are well, shoot, Camon cheddu are probably

243
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: gonna be gone. We cannot reach for Milroe, we cannot

244
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: reach for Dart. So you're thinking now in free agency

245
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: do we have to make a move? And these are

246
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: the options? Number one is do we sign Aaron Rodgers.

247
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a fit for day bol guys.

248
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't see it. Dabell has had success. He took

249
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones to the playoffs, and he fixed Josh Allen.

250
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: Both of those guys have something in common. They're running

251
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: quarterbacks mobile. Aaron Rodgers not mobile. Now could Dabele tear

252
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: up the playbook and say, hey, we're gonna make this work? Sure,

253
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I see that. You know, frustrating

254
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: it must be to deal with Aaron Rodgers. Besides all

255
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 2: the outside noise going on podcasts, popping off all this

256
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: stuff like he's old, he's immobile, he's not the guy

257
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: he was. I don't think he personally reads defenses the

258
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: way he used to. And you could point out the

259
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Minnesota game from the season, that game that was overseas,

260
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: that he was an abomination in that one against what

261
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: was a good Vikings defense. But what you think the

262
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: Eagles defense is gonna be any worse? Like, come on,

263
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: I just don't see it for Aaron Rodgers. And I

264
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: know I'm in a minority here. Some people say, well,

265
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: you had a good lost ten games. I will say

266
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: what I have said all along, like those games didn't matter.

267
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: The Jets were out of the playoff picks, he could

268
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: not get the job done against Denver early in the season,

269
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: the three picks in the Minnesota game, including a pick

270
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: six pick on the final series against Buffalo interception that

271
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: kind of sort of changed the game against Pittsburgh when

272
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: they got rolled. So in a three week stretch when

273
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: the Jets were two and two after that Denver loss,

274
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: which was that was bad. It was in the rain,

275
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: So I'll give him a little bit of a pass.

276
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: But season on the line against Minnesota, Buffalo and Pittsburgh,

277
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: and yes, all three of those teams did make the playoffs,

278
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: but Rogers had six interceptions. He did not run the

279
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: ball once in those three games. And then they lost

280
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: New England. He did have a good game against Houston

281
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football Short Week domination, but he limited

282
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: the interceptions mostly middle of the season, but they didn't

283
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: win anything. They were losing all those games. Like I

284
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: don't see this whole, Like, oh, we got to get

285
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: in the Aaron Rodgers, I just I don't see that.

286
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: So now if you're past Aaron Rodgers to the Giants,

287
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, do we make a play for Sam Donald.

288
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: It didn't work last time he was in New York.

289
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: Donald is mobile. I don't know. Man, if you're Brian

290
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: Dable and you know that you've got to get to

291
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs this season or at least show major progress,

292
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: do you want to hit your wagon to Sam Donald,

293
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: I just don't know. I don't know. If that's the guy.

294
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: Then the other option is Kirk Cousins. Maybe you get

295
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: him on the veteran minimum and as such, because he's

296
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: so cheap, you could say, hey, we can go out

297
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: and spend money get a right tackle. If you don't

298
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: find one in the draft, go out and get another

299
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: playmaker to help Molakue neighbors. The defense is just putrid.

300
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: They don't have a lot of talent. Well, I'm sorry.

301
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: The front seven. Now, the front front, defensive front on

302
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: the Giants is good. The rest of the defense, i e.

303
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: Secondary linebacker is nothing special. So I just I don't

304
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: know how they figure this out dable because it's got

305
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: to be one of those three guys, right, Cousins, Rogers

306
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: or Darnold. I don't know that there's a fourth, a

307
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: wild card maybe that I'm missing, But the Giants are

308
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: the big losers in staffords. Staying with the Rams. Now,

309
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: obviously the Rams have their own issues. They've got one

310
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: tackle who wants to get paid, another tackle who I

311
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: don't know, like, is he good? They do you pay him?

312
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: Jackson Havenstein. I just don't know if they're good enough

313
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: at this stage in the game for the Rams to

314
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: contend again. They did have a really good season, yes

315
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: that's true, but at the same time we're talking about

316
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: a team that overall, like I, I just didn't love

317
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: their start, and they did have a bunch of injuries.

318
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: You got to find another receiver. Their receivers two three

319
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: and four, all all of them two three and four

320
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: could be on a different team next year. And they

321
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: have already said they're going to be done with Cooper

322
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: Cup So now you're looking at a bunch of receivers.

323
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: You gotta fix. You gotta fix the offensive line. The

324
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 2: defense really emerged pretty well. I don't know how thrilled

325
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: Stafford is to be returning, but I'm sure him and

326
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 2: his family are happy to stay out in LA Like,

327
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, do you want to be bouncing around to

328
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: another city, like you kind of want to put down roots.

329
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 2: Not everybody does, but I know I do. They got

330
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: like four kids who are in school. You want to

331
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: keep bouncing them around? I don't. I don't know. But

332
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: so the Rams keep Stafford. The Giants now have nothing,

333
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 2: and you look at the Raiders as the other team,

334
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 2: and you're like, hmmm, what are we doing with the

335
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Raiders here? Like what's our quarterback situation? And it is

336
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: not going to be what's this? Uh a? The shoot

337
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: Aidan O'Connell is not going to be the guy. We

338
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: know that, so they've got to get in the quarterback bass.

339
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Do they trade up now? They got obviously Tom Brady

340
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: in the front office, which is kind of sort of

341
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: a big attraction. But the Raiders now, do they make

342
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: a play for Aaron Rodgers. It's interesting ESPN. Somebody the

343
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: ESPN put out a list of quarterbacks the Raiders could

344
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: go after. Obviously Donald's in the mix, but there was

345
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: no Aaron Rodgers. I'm like, why not? That makes sense?

346
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 2: Raiders are located in Vegas, a gambling town. You roll

347
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: the dice with Aaron Rodgers, Like, I don't hate that move.

348
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: Quarterback situation is going to be real interesting. I did

349
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: look at some of the Combine coverage. I didn't watch

350
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: a ton of it. Sorry, I just listen, man, you

351
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: guys don't life is short. I can't watch the Combine anymore?

352
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: Like what am I? Why am I watching guys run

353
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: the forty yard dish? They put the best highlights on

354
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: social media, you know, you just you don't need to

355
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: sit there and watch six hours of the draft when

356
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: all the highlights, the best stuff is on instantly, and

357
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: you know, no disrespect to the NFL network guys, but

358
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: like their real time analysis is it super penetrating and insightful?

359
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Like I much prefer to get Daniel Jeremiah on the

360
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: podcast and ask him about players who he's watched a

361
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: ton of as opposed to reacting to oh Will Howard,

362
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: the Ohio State quarterback just shot his pants on national

363
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: television with missed like seventeen throws in a row. It

364
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: was pretty bad. And you know, we had a guy

365
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: on last week, Brentley Weisman, talk about Will Howard. Did

366
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: he liked him? And you know some people do like

367
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: Will Howard. I just think it was a magical three

368
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: game run in the playoff. That's all that was. I

369
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: don't think I would draft him, but that's just me.

370
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: What do I know? So NFL Fun Week, Free agency

371
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: coming up, obviously March Madness, and we'll close out with

372
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of NBA. Just briefly.

373
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

374
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,600

Speaker 1: com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.

376
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: I did see that okac's Jdubb Jalen Williams dropped forty

377
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: one big game for him against the Spurs, the going

378
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: Nowhere Spurs really impressive, and uh, wouldn't you know it?

379
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: People started talking about the video where I said Austin

380
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 2: Reeves is the fourth best player in the OKC Lakers series.

381
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: Now you don't know ball, that's my favorite one. You

382
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: don't know ball. Jalen Williams is better than Austin Reeves. Okay,

383
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: you guys, can you can ride your Jalen Williams all

384
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: you want, gimme Austin Reeves. Lakers, by the way, playing

385
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: well without him because they're you know, spreading the ball around.

386
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, they have this gentleman named

387
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic. So with the Lakers win over the paper Clips,

388
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: they are now tied for second in the West. It

389
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: was a Lakers are blowing them out, but it's the NBA.

390
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: Everybody makes a run. Paper Clips made it interesting. But

391
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: the Lakers, now ten and a half games back of

392
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: the Thunder. Thunder have the number one seed locked up.

393
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. It's just a battle for two,

394
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: three and four. Why is that interesting, Well, that's not

395
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: a difficult one, folks. If you're two and the Nuggets

396
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: are three, you have home home court advantage over Denver

397
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: in the second round, which kind of is a big deal.

398
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: I mean Denver obviously the altitude could pose problems. And

399
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: if you get the four seed, you get then OKC

400
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: in the second round. So who would you rather face

401
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: Denver in the second round or OKC in the second round,

402
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: and I don't know. I have Luka Doncis now and

403
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: I ain't worried about either of them. Frankly, I'm not.

404
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: The loss from the Clippers ties them with the Warriors.

405
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: For the sixth seed Warriors getting out of the plane

406
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 2: would be huge, although I would have liked them in

407
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: the play and so they could take out Denver or okay,

408
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 2: see well actually then Denver would have to be head

409
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: of Lakers. But yeah, it's uh, it's getting a little

410
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 2: crowded in the West. And keep an eye on those

411
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns. Man. You keep seeing all these articles about

412
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: what went wrong, but it's weird. Nobody is really speculating

413
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: as to where Kevin Durant is gonna lie. I have

414
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: not seen one credible and you know, my guy Winhorst

415
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: gotta try to get him on the podcast. There. There

416
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: just aren't a ton of options.

417
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: I know.

418
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: I floated Washington, and you know, obviously that was soundly

419
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: mocked by the Peanut Gallery. Katie is from Washington. But

420
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: you just look at these I mean, I guess Miami's

421
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: gonna make a run because they always make a run

422
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: at Stars. I do think seem to think if Houston

423
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: gets bounced in the first round, They're gonna probably look

424
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: at their team and be like, guys, you know, we

425
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: just we need a we need a half court bucket

426
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: getter for the playoffs. And uh, that would be Kevin Durant.

427
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: Maybe he goes there. I you know, he did follow

428
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Kyrie to Brooklyn. Would he try to follow Kyrie to Dallas?

429
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe, but I guess you

430
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: can't rule anything out. So the West is going to

431
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: be kind of sort of popping here. We're at the

432
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: what do we get twenty two games left? Yeah? Interesting.

433
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: By the way, Calves have won ten straight. Friday Night,

434
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: Calves were trailing Boston twenty five to three, came back

435
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: in one twenty five three. Cleveland's very good. This DeAndrea

436
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: Hunter trade has really changed their outlook. Their point differential

437
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: is plus eleven and a half, only second in the

438
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: league behind the Thunder. I know Boston's taking their foot

439
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: off the gas. I definitely think Boston's better, But I

440
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm trying not to get swayed guys by regular season

441
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: results because it's easy to say, well Cleveland's been better.

442
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: That ain't what it's about. And you know, We talked

443
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: about that at nausea. But the NBA is getting very exciting,

444
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: and I think I'll probably write a piece this week

445
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: for Fox Sports on on like four teams to bet

446
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 2: to win the title. You can guarantee that Auburn is

447
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: going to be in there. Man, I like that team.

448
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: They got a young kid, Pettiford. I think he's from

449
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: New York City or Jersey. His game is like in

450
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: my head when I'm dreaming about what I like, Jason,

451
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: ideal Jason playing hoops, it's that guy's game, like super shifty,

452
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: quick goes to the rim, and I do none of

453
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: that stuff. Of course I'm old, so I'm not shifty.

454
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, good to be back on the pod. Should

455
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: have a pop in week. Combine wraps up free agency

456
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,600
