The 168 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 4: one before they had arguably the best offensive line in football. 169 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: Don't even was arguing they had the best offensive line 170 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: in football since then. Star center Frank ragnow retired Kevin 171 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: Zeitler left in free agency, left tackle Taylor Decker now released, 172 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: and they also lost a rotational guy, Graham Glasgow, who 173 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: was filling in any interior offensive line. So this vaunted 174 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: Lions O line is no more. And the other thing too, 175 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: is the Bears moves. 176 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: I said it got greater to a minus on their 177 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: trade of Dj Moore and the picks they moved up 178 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: in a pick and stuff like that. 179 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: Where are you on the Lions? As we go forward? 180 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: Martin? 181 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: Just trending upward? 182 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: Downward? I mean, I was the one who picked them 183 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: not to make the playoffs last year. Kelvin didn't want 184 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: to hear it, but it did come true. Where are 185 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: you on the Lions? Can it be two years in 186 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: a row? 187 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: Do they bounce by? 188 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 5: I think they make the playoffs this year. But it's 189 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 5: more a belief in the infrastructure. I believe in Dan 190 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 5: Campbell and Brad Holmes to be able to unless they 191 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 5: just had the best luck ever in their first first 192 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 5: what five or six drafts, I believe that they'll be 193 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: able to replace guys like this, and I know that 194 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 5: last year he got kind of caught off guard with 195 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 5: Frank grag Now retiring at the time that he did, 196 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 5: and also with Michael Parsons getting traded to the Packers 197 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 5: at the time that he did, because that's a major 198 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 5: part of your game plan when you're planning for him. 199 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: And I think they handled them the second time that 200 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 5: they played. The first time, he was just a game 201 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 5: wrecker in that first game. I'm not out on the lines, 202 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: but again it's because I think Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes, 203 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 5: when you have the right head coach and the right GM, 204 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 5: and I'm not convinced. 205 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: They have the right head coach because I think that 206 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: their window of winning a championship will get into the 207 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is gone. I would disagree with that. 208 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 3: I think it's gone. 209 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: I think they had a great chance to do it, 210 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: and Dan Campbell was a big part on why that 211 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: didn't happen, And even after that he even said, this 212 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: might be our only chance at it. And I've seen 213 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: it before the last time the Lions went to the 214 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, they went a thirty year drought before 215 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: they got back that other time against the forty nine ers. 216 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 5: So I look at it more like the Philadelphia Eagles. 217 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: I think if you look at the Lions, the Eagles 218 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 5: and the forty nine ers. Those are the two three 219 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 5: teams in the NFC over the last five years that 220 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: have had the most the most sustained success in the 221 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 5: regular season, right or last three years the most insane 222 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 5: success in the regularly? 223 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: What year did the Eagles not make the playoffs? 224 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: They made the playoffs every year because smoked in the wildcard? 225 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Just ask him what year did they not make the playoffs? 226 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 3: Like the Lions? 227 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 5: They got smoked in the wildcard in a game in 228 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: which was an embarrassment for sy Galen hurts right, Okay, 229 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 5: but if we could do that too, Like when did 230 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: the Lions just get smoked out the playoffs? No, it 231 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 5: hasn't happened, all right, So no, My point is that 232 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,599 Speaker 5: your point is the Lions missed the playoffs, and you 233 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 5: think they're going to miss the playoffs again this year. 234 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 5: I'm saying I think the Lions are not going to 235 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: miss the playoffs again next year because that head coach 236 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 5: and at GM they got the right guys. Now you 237 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 5: really want to talk about the kind of the secret 238 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 5: in the NFC North, the quiet part, because I'm with 239 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 5: you on the Bears. I think the Bears Also, we're 240 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: right now we're talking about the winner of the division 241 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: and the second best team in the division between Lions 242 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 5: and Bears. The quiet part, allowed is if there was 243 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: no such thing as a seventh seed in the NFC, 244 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 5: the Packers would have never under Matt la Floor, I'm sorry, 245 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 5: without Aaron Rodgers. Under mattla Floor made the postseason. That 246 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 5: seventh seed is. 247 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: Doing a hot lot for him, and he should have. 248 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: There's a seventh seed, I mean, it's it's a part 249 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: of it. I hear what you're saying. If there's only 250 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: four seeds or four seeds, then three other teams wouldn't 251 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: make it. I mean, we could get here all day 252 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: about that. My point is simple, is that the Lions 253 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: keep losing people and the division isn't getting weaker. I 254 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: still think the Packers are better, No, I do Michael Parsons, 255 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: A healthy Michael Parsons for all year. I think they're 256 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: better than the Lions. And I also think, obviously the 257 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Bears are better than the Lions. And we'll see what 258 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: the Vikings do if they're able to put a quarterback. 259 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: Even last year with no quarterback, they won nine games. 260 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: They're dying their safe Vikings. 261 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: The Vikings. The Vikings are so bad. They won nine games, 262 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: one less than the Lions. And the Vikings were the 263 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: ones with the terrible JJ McCarthy who did the boogie 264 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: boo on the Lions when they went to Detroit and 265 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: won that game, that was the Lions season. 266 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 3: You agree on that one. 267 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: That game, that's when they lost the season like that, 268 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: and that was the game and that came against the 269 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: Vikings in Detroit. So I just look at the Bears 270 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: above the Lions. I look at Green Bay above the Lions, 271 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: and Minnesota was one game different from the Lions. 272 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,479 Speaker 3: With a bad quarterback or bad quarterback play. 273 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: Guess what, They're still gonna have bad quarterback and not 274 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: half the luck that they had last year. And again 275 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: you say healthy Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons isn't going to 276 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: be healthy in week one after he tore it. Say 277 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: week one, but I mean what they split with the 278 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: Packers with a healthy Michael Parsons the Lions did. I 279 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: just don't have the same confidence team should go from 280 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the NFC to not making 281 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs. There's just something I'm wrong there. How did 282 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: that happen? 283 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, we just outlined it. We just outlined it. Half 284 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: the offensive line retired, I mean the offensive line retired 285 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 5: right before the season started. Then you had, I mean 286 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 5: the celebration that with Frank Ragnan I was thinking about 287 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 5: coming out of retirement shows you. 288 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: How dire it was. 289 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: I'm not I am not disputing that the Lions had 290 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 5: a good year last year. All right, it's trying to 291 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 5: attempt to say that. But what I'm saying is, you've 292 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 5: seen the forty nine ers have it down year under 293 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 5: this Kyle Shanahan era, they are right back the next year. 294 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 5: If you believe in the Philadelphia Eagles, you saw them 295 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 5: have a down year, they were right back the next year. 296 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: And I think a lot of that had to do 297 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 5: a Saquon Barkley rushing for two thousand yards. If you 298 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 5: have the right people in place, you'll have it down 299 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 5: year or two, but then you right back where you started. 300 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: The Rams prior to. 301 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 5: They had it down year, go to the Super Bowl, 302 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 5: down year, right back and compete they go. 303 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 3: We're right back right back to the postseason. 304 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: Right That's where you say the Lions aren't going right 305 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: back to the postseason, right back to what the different. 306 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: I just the difference is they don't have forty five years, 307 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: however long of being terrible, and you didn't come up 308 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: doing your victory laps every time the Ryan's lost. What 309 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: are you talking about? I was the one who said 310 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: they weren't Why why didn't they go? Why did people 311 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: think that? Most people thought they'd make the playoffs last year? Yeah? 312 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: I thought they were making like ninety nine percent of 313 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: the people out there covered the NFL, I didn't think so. 314 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: I thought the loss of Ben Johnson was bigger than 315 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: people wanted to give credit to. And I think that 316 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: they're not the same team without Ben Jones. I don't 317 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: believe they're the same team, and I don't believe that 318 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: when they continue to lose pieces that it's the same 319 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: team that was put together and people thought maybe had 320 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: a four or five year run. 321 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: That run, to me, is. 322 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: Probably over, and if they don't make the playoffs again 323 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: this year, then it will be officially over. And that's 324 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: where I'm leaning unless something you know, catastrophic, uh, some 325 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: sort of the terrible thing happens to the Bears or 326 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: or the Packers, you know what I mean? 327 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 3: That I that I can't see now. 328 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: The Packers just aren't. The Packers are the both most 329 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: mythical team in the NFL. I do not understand anything 330 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: why people talk about the Packers. That's a year and 331 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: year out super Bowl contenders. When the last time I 332 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: mentioned the Super Bowl if you mentioned them going into 333 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: the I mentioned them going into the playoffs being better 334 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: than the Lion, right, and so how many teams do 335 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: you think? So you say that Packers aren't super Bowl contenders? 336 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: I didn't. 337 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: But that's not what we're talking about now. I don't 338 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: have my super Bowl contenders because I don't know what's happening. 339 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't have free agency.

They're gonna get 417 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 8: somebody in the draft. This can be a ball at 418 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 8: Parry got so many picks in the fourth round because 419 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 8: that was the pick they're gonna get, just like they 420 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 8: probably should trade Reporter like they used to trade Hockinson 421 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 8: and get that other eyew tight end.

Thinking of their I mean it's trajectory, 439 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean going forward? If we're looking 440 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: at something like when the Uh no, honestly, there's no 441 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: way they have to make the playoffs. 442 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 5: Because like everybody makes it if you're a good team 443 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 5: in the NFL. 444 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: But I'm giving you the scenario that they don't make it, 445 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: would that change you thinking that their windows still open 446 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: or close or or you would still think it's open, 447 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. 448 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: Two years in a row not making. 449 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: The playoffs, I think it's I'm of the belief if 450 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: you have the right head coach in the right GM, 451 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: that's your windows open. 452 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: So yes, the windows open, Okay, yeah, the windows open. 453 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 5: If you got the right guys in charge, then your 454 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 5: windows open because you because like obviously you got to 455 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 5: have a quarterback. But if you can find the guys 456 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 5: that can find that guy, then you have a shot. 457 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to Steve the Sega.

The 470 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 8: Detroit Pistons they're pretenders, and the Celtics I think they're 471 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 8: the real deal. And then they can get back on 472 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 8: the title NEX. 473 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: Sorry, there you go, Mark, I love it. 474 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 3: I love the idea. 475 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: I told you I wasn't buying the Pistons, but the idea, 476 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: and we just were talking about it. Tatum coming back. 477 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: That's huge for Boston. They were able to hold, uh 478 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: be the number two seed in the East, hang on 479 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: without their main guy. It's pretty amazing where the Celtics are, 480 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: isn't it wild. 481 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 8: I don't think anyone would have predicted that the Celtics 482 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 8: would be in this position to make the playoffs. I 483 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 8: thought it was going to be a bridge year, gap 484 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 8: year where Jalen Brown's playing well but not enough for 485 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 8: them to really make enough pay. And no one knew 486 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 8: that these role players outside of Peyton Frichard would actually 487 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 8: be able to provide meaningful contributions. I think the other 488 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 8: fascinating part here, Rob is the fact that Jason Tabm's 489 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 8: back ten months after injuring his achilles. And here's the thing, guys, like, 490 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 8: nothing's risk free. But I talked to different doctors outside 491 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 8: of you know, the Celtics, and they all said, like, 492 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 8: look like this isn't a gigantic right flag. Like modern medicine, 493 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 8: new technology has enabled these players to come back. And 494 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 8: because of the Celtics dynamic where he doesn't have to 495 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 8: be the main guy, he can allow himself to be 496 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 8: on minister restriction and work himself gradually. They said, it's 497 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 8: like the perfect ramp up before the playoffs start. 498 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 5: All right, but hold on a second, Madina, because I 499 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: hear you and agree with you, and if all of 500 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 5: that is absolutely true, I'm all in. 501 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm not calling you a liar by these trutchs. 502 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 5: However, George Sodano from ESPN earlier today, according to Rob 503 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 5: g said that Jayson Tatum is not in fact on 504 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 5: a minist restriction and obviously was inn started flying. 505 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: He looks good. I mean like in the second half. 506 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: See, I mean he had he had a rebound dunk 507 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 5: in the first half, well, second half, but in the 508 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 5: ninety second or so the first five in then he 509 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 5: hasn't missed a ship five strike. My question to you, 510 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 5: Mark is is you just because you outlined it perfectly? 511 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Uh? 512 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 5: When Jason Tatum was down against the New York Knicks, 513 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 5: everybody was saying, Okay, this year it's over for the Celtics. 514 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: Next season will be a wash. This year, this team 515 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: will be a team that is fighting to make the postseason. 516 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: This team is second in the East right now, forty 517 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: one to twenty one. 518 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 5: Jalen Brown is the second you is rate in the 519 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 5: NBA and is a legitimate MVP contender. 520 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: How do you think it fits? 521 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 3: Because I'm with you on the whole if. 522 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 5: Jason Tatum can come back and play in this minute 523 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: restriction ramp up role. But I'm looking at a guy 524 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 5: right now who again has it is what he's off 525 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: the quick top of my head. Six for ten from 526 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 5: the floor, six for eleven from the floor, but has 527 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 5: made his last six shots in a row and is 528 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 5: looking pretty good. How does the dynamic between what used 529 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 5: to be I'd say one and one B gonna play 530 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: out when one B has been one while Jason Tatum 531 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 5: was out. 532 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, well there's a few things on pack. First, the 533 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 8: minutes restriction. I get what Jim as All was said, 534 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 8: but I don't think that's going to play out long term. 535 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 8: It's one thing if he does that, you know, opening night, 536 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 8: but when it comes to back to back's long stretch. 537 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 8: I expect that those minutes to go down. 538 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: So a minute restriction, but it just calling it by 539 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: a different name. 540 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly exactly, And maybe it's a mess that we're 541 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 8: not holding you back first game of the first game 542 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 8: of this season. But once you know things wear out, 543 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 8: Dey'll just accordingly. How he and Jalen Brown coexist. I 544 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 8: think that's been fine. They've shown throughout the course of 545 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 8: their career with Boston. This whole idea they couldn't co 546 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 8: exist was fully over Brown blown. A lot of it 547 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 8: was just more tactical adjustments thank personality conflicts. So I 548 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 8: think that helps. And I think the other thing is 549 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 8: that even though Jason is known as primarily a score 550 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 8: in recent years he really improved his playmaking partly to 551 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 8: play well with Jalen Brown. But when they got chrisofs 552 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 8: Worzingis and Drew Holiday, same idea, and he has developed defensively. 553 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 8: Now I don't think you know one doctor I told 554 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 8: you said, it's really good to make sure that he's 555 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 8: not defending the best player on the other team. I 556 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 8: think his playmaking role and moving off the ball is 557 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 8: something that they will really lean in on the short term, 558 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 8: while you know, they allow Joan Brown to continue to 559 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 8: do his thing and put up MVP type orform. 560 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you about the Lakers and Lebron. 561 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 7: Uh. 562 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: He fell down last night and then grabbed one elbow 563 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: and then the other. I guess he's not playing tonight 564 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: and they're saying it was because of that injury. 565 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: But I don't did you watch the video? 566 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: It just. 567 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 8: I did watch the video. Yeah, he be. 568 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: Banged one elbow. I don't know, he grabbed one and 569 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: it's the other one. 570 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 3: I don't know. 571 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: It just looked weird to me. What what what is 572 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: going on? It didn't like he hit the one that 573 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: he's claiming he really heard. 574 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think what's going on is he's 575 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 8: forty one and anytime even a small fall it compounds it. 576 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 8: But that being said, it's an elbow. He just fell and. 577 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: Had a bad thud. 578 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 8: I think that he'll be back for Sunday this game 579 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 8: against the next But in the short term, this game 580 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 8: against the Pacers is a snoozer. They're already in tank mode. 581 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 8: And the Lakers, they don't have Lebron James, they don't 582 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 8: have DeAndre because of his knee injury. So it might 583 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 8: just be uh, Luca Doncici either putting up a bunch 584 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 8: of numbers against his former coach and Rick Carlisle, and 585 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 8: also seeing if he can keep his composure and avoid 586 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 8: that sixteenth technical so he doesn't get a one game suspension. 587 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's got about as good a chance it's happening. 588 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 5: A good chance is not happening as the sun rising 589 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 5: in the east. Lucat don just will get that technical foul. 590 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 5: I promise you this. But all right, so let's talk 591 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: about the darlings. 592 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: Of the NBA. And right now I'm watching a game. 593 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: Could barely tell that it's Charlotte with this orange uniform 594 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: in blue court. 595 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 5: But that's been like the hot sexy. Oh, we can't 596 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 5: wait to talk about the Hornets. Medina put it down 597 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 5: brass tacks. How many postseason games do the Hornets win. 598 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 8: This season? I think I think zero. But they are 599 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 8: a good team, like they have a great trajectory. Conkin 600 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 8: Hippy won't be surprised if he wins Rookie of the Year. 601 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 8: The first quarter of the season, I was already hearing 602 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 8: from different executives that he would be their favorite to 603 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 8: win because he's shown he's not just a shooter. He's 604 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 8: a complete player, great passer, takes on a lot of 605 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 8: tough defensive assignment. And the Mavericks they were having Cooper 606 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 8: Flag play at point guard and now they say, oh yeah, 607 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 8: that helped expand his game. Cooper Flag will say the 608 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 8: same thing, but people around the NBA thought that really 609 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 8: hurt Cooper Flag's development. So I think with Can Nipple, 610 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 8: he is a really good starting piece with them. But 611 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 8: the other thing is LaMelo Ball. 612 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: He's a lot. 613 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 8: He's much more healthy, healthier than he has been in 614 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 8: past seasons, and you've seen continued improvement from him of 615 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 8: not just being the highlight, real point guard of these 616 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 8: step back threes and fancy passes. He still does that, 617 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 8: but he has slowly but surely improved with just making 618 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 8: the simple play and that has reduced a lot of 619 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 8: his turnovers and the shots in the studs. 620 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: Hey last thing, and I'm just going to assume, and 621 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: you tell me if I'm different. I know people are. 622 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Some people aren't happy about the Magic City Night that's 623 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: going to happen in Atlanta in two weeks or on 624 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: the sixteenth of March, when the Orlando Magic take on 625 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: the Hawks. Uh, but I'm assuming for that to get 626 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: that far along, they had to get the league to 627 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: sign off. I don't expect the league to come into 628 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: last minute and put the kai bosh on it, right 629 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: if you're if you if you had the Hawks, you 630 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: had to get approval from the league, don't you think 631 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: before it happened? 632 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, the league is not going to interfere. 633 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 8: It's business decision and anyone you know, has the right 634 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 8: to object morally whatever they want. But it's a business 635 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 8: and teams can sponsor wherever they like. And uh yeah, 636 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 8: from I think their perspective, they know that it's a 637 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 8: very popular spot, both not just because of the people 638 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 8: that are working there, but they're for the food as well. Yes, 639 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 8: and they want to they want to pay how much? 640 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Mark? I know everybody lasts you owe the food of 641 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: the kitchen.

Yes, 657 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: people do, in fact go to strip clubs to eat 658 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: some of the best lamb chops in Detroit.

If if a picture gives up a 701 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: home run in the ninth inning or gives it up, 702 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean like Baseball's menu is longer than the rest. 703 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 4: Of the I'm saying, it's sound like you're moving the goalpost. 704 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 4: MLB bro the year three times back. 705 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: You know they keep moving the pitch. But I'm saying 706 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: if he hits well and they lose it in the 707 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: ninth inning when a picture gives up a home run 708 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: to show hey, you can't say Aaron Judge didn't win. 709 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. 710 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: Sports has a short man. 711 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 4: You wins and losses, all right, Rob g real quick, 712 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: what was on baseball?

But it's 717 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 4: because MLB bro Mookie Betts came through for him. Does 718 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 4: that make you feel any better? 719 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: Doesn't know? 720 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 4: Joki Bets hits eight home run, right, he goes seven 721 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 4: for eleven with six homers. 722 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: Dodgers don't win it again.

Mag over a hundred million dollars 760 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: guaranteed after a guy named e K punched him in 761 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: the face in the Jets' locker room. And you know, 762 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: I have to. 763 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 5: Say, he may not have won on the field, but 764 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 5: he won at the bank, and that right there makes 765 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 5: you a winner. 766 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 3: Okay, I don't remember. 767 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: When you think of Gino Smith all that, all that 768 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: you talked about how much money he made. 769 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 5: Literally, the first thing I think of when I heard 770 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 5: Smith's name is that he got punched in the face 771 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 5: for not going to a charity event for one of 772 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 5: his teams. 773 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: What I think about first and foremost is that the 774 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: Gino's pizza put in the microwave has been in there 775 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 1: too long and it's gonna be stiff. I'm just like, 776 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: Gino is who he is, and that year was an outlier. 777 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: That year was an anomaly, and and he did he 778 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: played well, rob g didn't he have like the highest 779 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: quarterback percentage of completion percentage. 780 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 3: He really played well that year. 781 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: But he's he is who he is, and we've seen 782 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: it for the rest of his career. That's why he 783 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: bounced around. He's fine. He was awful with the raider 784 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: he got. He was absolutely off. He got his job, 785 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: broke in the locker room, miss six weeks, over six 786 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, and did it with more than a hundred 787 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: million guaranteed.
