00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: I know fits He had a gig, I had a

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: baseball tournament. So we're back and it's starting to get real.

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: We're starting to feel it. It is now August seventeenth.

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: We are just a week away from Week zero in

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: college football, and in fact, next Saturday we'll be talking

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: about the little slate flaw in a state Georgia Tech

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: among the Week zero games, so we'll be talking about that,

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: getting excited for all that stuff. You could smell it.

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna add. This is week two of the preseason.

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: One more week. This is probably the toughest week. I

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: don't know about you, FITZI, but I get the taste

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 3: of it. It's starting to feel like we've been through camp.

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: I watched the Patriots and Eagles on Thursday night. I'm like,

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: all right, yeah, I'm ready for the real thing now.

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: It's funny because the way you say that you get

26
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: a taste to it. It's almost like the concept you know,

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: back in the day, because we all remember, especially when

28
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: certain things are illegal now weren't is smiled upon, and

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: it's like, I'll just give the first taste is free, and.

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Then you know, you got to come back and pay

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: for a second. You're right, like we do.

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: We all get a little bit of a that itch, right,

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: you get to scratch the itch a little bit, but

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel real. And we've talked about the fact

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: that I like preseason a lot, you know, but I

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: do sit there and watching My god, it just makes

37
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: me salivate for the games that actually count. You know

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 4: that there's this moment and you saying, you know, Week

39
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: zero gives us Florida State, Georgia Tech.

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: At least we get from the outset, we.

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: Get a top ten team with some heaping expectations and

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: a little bit of pressure coming into this.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: I just I'm ready for something that counts, right, and

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: that's that's just what we're all eager for. There are

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: plenty of things to be worked out in training camp.

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: There's plenty of stories, and there's plenty of you know,

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 4: big names that we're still trying to figure out what's

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: going to happen good tractually, Like there's still news and notes,

49
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: But I'm ready to get to just the one distraction.

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: And that's the real of it is.

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: All the things that we yell about and scream about

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: right now go away the minute we actually have Sundays

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: with results, that suddenly become a distraction to whatever we're

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: you know, paying too much attention to right now. Like

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: I'm a big believer that on Sundays, whether or not

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb or Dak Prescott has a new contract, is

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: it gonna make them play poorly against Washington? Right But

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: we don't have that game against Washington right now to

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: to hang our hats on.

60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: All we have is the well, what's gonna happen with

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: the contract.

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 4: So I'm just looking forward to paying attention to football

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: and not a bunch of bs.

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so with you, and listen you and I

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: are saying, we're saying we love you know anything, So

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: we'll take the preseason and gladly consume it.

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, preseason is like the bread.

69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 3: If you go to a restaurant and it's usually like

70
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: an Italian restaurant that have good that has good bread,

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: you go, oh, it's good, like to you know, little

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: olive oil whatever. But you don't fill up on the bread.

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 3: You know, like you gotta wait. The meal's coming. You're

74
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: just dying, dying for the meal. And that's kind of

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: how I feel right now. It's like, all right, you know,

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: well I'm because the Eagles played, I'm two preseason games in,

77
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: I'm ready of college football. It feels so tantalizingly close.

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: That Labor Day weekend is the greatest, and you know

79
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: we're just two weeks away, so you know, when the

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: closer it gets, it's that anticipation. You got the vacation

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: coming up. You're like, oh my god, well we'll get

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: here or not. Jeezus, week it's going by so slow.

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: The funny part about that, though, is think about this.

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: You know all of these fan bases right now that

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: are convinced that we're idiots if we say anything negative

86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: about their team, then everything's gonna be just fine.

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: We don't know what the hell we're talking about.

88
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: We've obviously never watched the game, and we don't know, Paul,

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: all of those fans right now, with glowing optimism, are

90
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: going to make it through one half of one game

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: in week one before suddenly it's like, oh yeah, no, wait,

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: we suck, like there's just my god. But at least

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 4: right now there is this building. Like I was sitting

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: with the buddy last night who's a huge Patriots fan

95
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: and his family's huge Patriot fans, and he was telling me,

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: like his uncle is convinced that you know, there there's

97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: six win team, maybe seven, six, six, Like the Patriots

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: are not.

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: The Patriots are three. We're gonna be dreadful this year. Yeah,

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the first over. And by the way,

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: by the way, not for nothing.

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: If you're only gonna win six games, you might as

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: well only want to win three and get that first

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: pick next year, right, Like, if you're.

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Gonna stick anyway, then just go ahead and stink.

106
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: But we are at this spot where fans are coming

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: in and everybody's convince themselves that you know, they can

108
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 4: put lipstick on the pig, and you just at some

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: point you wake up and realize you're still making out

110
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 4: with the pig and that that's not that's not fun.

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, figure, How are you doing? Good?

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: To have you back top that one, figure, top top.

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: I can't take on a pick, but I can't. Let's

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: go early that lipstick on a pig. Let's go make

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: it out with the pig. That's that was the one toed.

116
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: My god, that's a tough visual to get over. I'll

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: be honest with you.

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, your first yeah, you know, and my dogs at

119
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: my foot.

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: Big yeah.

121
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 5: Likewise, and as you mentioned, you guys, you know, took

122
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: a little bit of a recipite. But we're back in

123
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 5: the saddle and we're just a little bit away from

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 5: the start of real football. Like Look, we debated that

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 5: the week one of the preseason after the Hall of

126
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 5: Fame game, whether you know how excited we were or

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: weren't for it. Look, once the full slate of their

128
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: NFL preseason rolled out last weekend, I won't lie and

129
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: say that I wasn't into it. It absolutely was. I wasn't

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: glued to every single second of every game. But you

131
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 5: certainly take intrigue as to how the rookies are going

132
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: to look. How certain teams you know, who rolled out

133
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 5: a lot of their starters, you know, happened to look.

134
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 5: So I was actually disappointed to look on Friday to

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 5: see that there were no games. It was like, this

136
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: was the last time there was a preseason in the

137
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: NFL and there was no games on a Friday night.

138
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 5: It was weird.

139
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: It was weird. It was the same way we were all.

140
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, well, you know, you just.

141
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: Walk around assuming. It's like even if you don't look

142
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: up to it, look forward to it's like, oh, okay,

143
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 5: well I'm sure there's a game or two on tonight.

144
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: And you look up and you say, well, there's nothing.

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 5: You just want to check in on it. Yeah, check

146
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 5: in on something.

147
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeh know.

148
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 5: It's weird.

149
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was weird.

150
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: And you know this this is this two the three preseason,

151
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: the week to three weeks.

152
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: You know.

153
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting because I wonder how much they're when

154
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: they go to eighteen, are they going to shrink it

155
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: to one or to none? Like how far do they

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: get rid of do they get rid of all the games?

157
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: I just wonder how they can do none knowing that

158
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: it still does bring in revenue for the owners. So

159
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: I mean it's part of your season ticket package. Whether

160
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,559
Speaker 5: people go or not, is you know, neither here nor there.

161
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: But so you're taking a revenue stream away from ownership. Now,

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: whether that gets funneled in a different way or made

163
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 5: up for it a different way, I guess that's something

164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 5: they can explore. But it's say for doing twenty regular

165
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 5: season games, which look, maybe they'll do with that in

166
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 5: fifteen years. I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me. It's

167
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: the NFL, I don't I just don't see how they

168
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 5: they probably going to have at least one, probably at

169
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: least two preseason games, one home, one road, one st

170
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: end up going to eighteen. I just don't see them

171
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: doing away with it completely, at least not in the

172
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 5: foreseeable future.

173
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can.

174
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: I wonder if there's a world in a world, I

175
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: wonder if there's a spot where they end up finding

176
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: a way to televise joint practices.

177
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: You know, I was wondering that the other day, because

178
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: they're so important.

179
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: That's the next iteration.

180
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're an NFL network and you're you're missing

181
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: out of all the preseason games. You gotta do the

182
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: joint practices.

183
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: And wouldn't we salivate for that the way we love

184
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 4: you know, hard knocks and any sort of coverage that's

185
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: behind the scenes. If you had the chance to actually

186
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: have a micd up practice between the Rams and the Raiders,

187
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: I'd watch that.

188
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: I watch that all that different.

189
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's more football, It's like more real football.

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: It's it's a look into it.

191
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: I often wondered, Now, you know, teams don't want their

192
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: their IP basically out there, but I often wondered, when

193
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, they start showing practices. You know, we're so

194
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: inside these days that I could completely see NFL network

195
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: going all right, it's you know, they choo a practice

196
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: for the Raiders and they just televised practice. It's a

197
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: cheap doesn't costs anything, and people would watch it.

198
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: But I would watch it.

199
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: And there's a way that you can find a way

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: to get around. You know, there's a certain part of

201
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: practice that they won't.

202
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: Air, you know, maybe it won't be a field.

203
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a way that you can get around televising.

204
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: Maybe that would press access too, right, correct, Yeah, the

205
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 4: reporters only have access to certain amounts, so you get like,

206
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: you get the easy portion of practice for the first

207
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: hour and then all of a sudden they shut that

208
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 4: off and go to another practice, and it at least

209
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: scratches the itch of wanting to see these things.

210
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: Now, one thing they will tell the press members is

211
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: don't talk about tactical things that we're doing. Don't talk

212
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: about trick plays, don't So there was an honor system

213
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: that goes along with that that you obviously would not

214
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: be able to have if you're full on televis things

215
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 5: as well. So but again, if there's money.

216
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: Involved, you're gonna have another field.

217
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a way around it.

218
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: That's closed and you can work on it. But I

219
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: could see it, Yeah, totally see it.

220
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: And the thing about the scrimmage is is you know,

221
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: you sure you'll have quarterbacks in red jerseys and whatnot,

222
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: but at least you're gonna have players who you've actually

223
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: heard of, you know, taking meaningful snaps like in practice

224
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 5: and taking real practice reps. It's like, would you rather

225
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: see that or would you rather see you know, a

226
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: bunch of undrafted guys who are gonna be playing in the

227
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 5: ufl out there playing football. For most of us, I

228
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: think we'd rather see you know, Davante Adams go one

229
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 5: on one with Sauce Gardener in a joint practice.

230
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: You know, totally, I listen.

231
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: I got way more interest Eagles and Patriots. You know,

232
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: that gag was dreadful as I love it, like even

233
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: for preseason standards. That was that we even I had

234
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: had a difficult time, you know, kind of lock staying

235
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: locked in, And all I'm thinking about was Tuesday's joint

236
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: practice was probably really good, Like I saw how I

237
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: liked from it. I mean for on Twitter, you know,

238
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: that would have been a that's a great kind of

239
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: alternative to go and watch those joint practices and by

240
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: the way, just regular practice, I would be in on

241
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: it all the time.

242
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: We're also constantly, and I mean constantly told about how

243
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: the joint practices now provide a better test than anything

244
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 4: that you see in a preseason game, because everything in

245
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 4: preseasons vanilla. But in joint practice, as coaches discuss some

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: of this stuff and they show more complicated looks so

247
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 4: that they have more meanings, so we would get a

248
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: better sense, Like I'll get it, you know, Configuie and

249
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: I are always on this raider space. Well, I'll get

250
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 4: a better idea of who Aiden O'Connell lives as a

251
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: quarterback seeing him in a joint practice against a complicated

252
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: defense than I will in a preseason game where he's

253
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: playing against you know, vanilla stuff that he's played against

254
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: since you know, middle school.

255
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't tell us, right, I think?

256
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: So? I do think we would get a better sense

257
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: of where our favorite team is if we had the

258
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: access to that too, which is a win for everybody.

259
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: And and the you know you're in for a series,

260
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: you know, like what does that do for you? Although

261
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: I will say, uh, watching Joe Burrow for once, I

262
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: was like, wow, man, I felt that felt good watching

263
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: Burrow last week. You know it's interesting just what we'll

264
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: take the crumbs that will take and just enjoy them.

265
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: I love the way you said the crumbs that will take,

266
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 4: because you're right right now we are just like, please

267
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: have some more. Like there's just this a moment of

268
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: like we're sitting here begging for bad football, which is

269
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 4: what we should be doing. Is we've been talking at

270
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: somewhere about missing it. So you know, you know you've

271
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 4: been on a bit of a dry spell. At some point,

272
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: you just got to start taking dates, right, There's just

273
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. So hey, it's I get it.

274
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: I get why it happens. But at the same time,

275
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: you're right, we are. We are absolutely salivating over bad football,

276
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't have it any other way.

277
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: But I admittedly, you know, cause you said it, with

278
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 5: the Patriots and Eagles, sometimes those crumbs could be really stale. Yeah,

279
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 5: So it's like, do I really want this right now?

280
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

281
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: I know I was, but it's it's worse because you

282
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: really want it and you're getting.

283
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: That correct, You're like, oh my god, all right, I'm there.

284
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: I know.

285
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: It's a couple of weeks. I know, I get it.

286
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: It's funny.

287
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: Last night, we uh, I'm I'm watching the Phillies game

288
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: with my little guy and my buddy Booth is texting me,

289
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: and Boo's like, dude, I need football. Like he's watching

290
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: the game to the Phillies game, and yeah, we're talking

291
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: about the Phillies and all and about the game itself.

292
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 3: It's like Phillies Nationals, right, it's just one on one

293
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 3: sixty two, nothing special. And he's like, dude, I need football,

294
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: and he's like, he's a big Notre Dame fan. He's like,

295
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: let's go over the schedule. I go, there's only one

296
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: game to go over. Man, it's Farta State, and if

297
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: you win Farda State, you go underfeat.

298
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: God, that's good when you say it like that. That

299
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: is so wild to me. Like with the playoffs on

300
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: the line and everything that's out there, it's like you

301
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: in one game, you're gonna be just fine.

302
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna end up at the playoffs.

303
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you see that. I don't know if you

304
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: look at that schedule.

305
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: I'm looking at it right now. I mean, all obviously

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: it's a big rivalry game. Sc people will have something

307
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: to say about it at the coliseum at the end

308
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 5: of the year, but generally speaking, it is a lot

309
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: of a lot of walkovers, to say the least.

310
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. I mean, how good are

311
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: they going to be?

312
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: I don't really know. So the I mean Miller Moss

313
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: has taken over at quarterbacks certainly did not have the

314
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: same appeal or the hype as Caleb Williams. But I mean,

315
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: look at Lincoln Riley's past. You know now that the

316
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield at the time, so he's used to making stars.

317
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: Their defense should be improved. How good they're going to

318
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: be by the end of the season, I honestly cannot.

319
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 5: I do not know. This can be a six win team,

320
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: this can be a ten or eleven win team. I

321
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: really couldn't tell you. So close I couldn't tell you.

322
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: I'm thinking Notre Dame. If I was to put a

323
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: line on the game, I'd say Notre Dame is eight

324
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: and a half.

325
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 5: I would say, I give him a touchdown right now, yeah,

326
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: just right this moment.

327
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Sure, man, that's gonna be like that.

328
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting because when you talk about USC and

329
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: where they are, you know, as a program, I'm not

330
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: sure Lincoln Riley is going to have as much grace

331
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: as we want him to have sometimes in that process,

332
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: Like if they really if USC falters this year the

333
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: way that they you know, I think they will, most

334
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: of us think they're not going to be particularly great.

335
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

336
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: That's that's that's interesting to be in that spot, you know,

337
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 4: that's that's going to be because Lincoln doesn't have necessarily

338
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: a lot of grace with the entire fan base.

339
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 5: So no, not at all.

340
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: Just I think it is.

341
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: It is kind of interesting to me to see how

342
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 4: it goes when the local media and the fan base

343
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 4: are all kind of waiting to just there's sharks in

344
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: the water.

345
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: A little cut here turns into a severe bleed.

346
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 5: His only saving great would be that I think USC,

347
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 5: even for as you know, as much money as they have,

348
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're willing to pay him that

349
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 5: ginormous buyout that's fair. So he might be a year

350
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 5: away from being on the hot seat. If that makes fence,

351
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: you know, a sense fits. So like if if they

352
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: if the everything falls apart and they win five six

353
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: games this year, I think going into next season, then

354
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, if this thing falls apart again,

355
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: then we're moving on. But they committed a lot of

356
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: money to pry them away from Oklahoma, and I'm not

357
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: sure if they're willing to eat to eat that money.

358
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: To be honest with.

359
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: You, now that that's a good point.

360
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: And also you know, it's just it's a little bit

361
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: of you need to be kind of patient, you know,

362
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: I understand that everybody wants The problem for USC is

363
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: that Oregon's going to walk right into the big t

364
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: oh yeah, And me, you know, a national championship contender.

365
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: So USC is going to be sitting here looking around saying, well,

366
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: how is it that Oregon did this? Like and then

367
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: on top of that, then everybody's going to be looking

368
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: around trying to figure out where does USC stand in

369
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: this new stack to Big ten? Like this is just

370
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: going to be They are a program that's going to

371
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: have to get used to the fact that things are

372
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: not going to be asy as they were in the

373
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 4: Pac twelve.

374
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: That's just real.

375
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: Like a good year for USC is going to be

376
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 4: winning the Big Ten, and a normal year for USC

377
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: might be finishing third in the Big ten.

378
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure their fan base is ready to

379
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: hear that.

380
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 5: Well, I will say, finishing third in the Big ten

381
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: in today's world is probably a playoff birth or close

382
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: to it. So might might not be the worst you know,

383
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 5: you'll take.

384
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: You look at the schedule, be ready. So they start

385
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: off with A and M.

386
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: Great game, Notre Dame by the way we're talking here.

387
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 3: Yes, they start off Notre Dame and A and M Saturday,

388
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: August thirt so, two weeks from today.

389
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: All right, good, that's a great game.

390
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: That's a beefy game.

391
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, ye.

392
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: Home Northern Illinois at Purdue, home Miami, Ohio home Louisville home.

393
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 5: Louisville's big because I think it was. If they were

394
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 5: at Louisville, I think that'd be much more of a challenge.

395
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: I think Louisville is actually going to be pretty good

396
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 5: again this year. Yeah, I don't think that's going to

397
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: be a walkover game.

398
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 3: I think, you know, listen, Louisville's a that could be

399
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: ranked by the end of the year. They're on right now,

400
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: and I think they get a real good chance of

401
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: being ranked. Stanford may stake at home at Georgia Tech,

402
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: at Navy, and then November ninth is the big game.

403
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: That's Florida State at again in South Bend, home Virginia

404
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: at Army, and then at City to end the season.

405
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: So I mean Chiefs that that's a I mean, I mean,

406
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: that's a couple cake.

407
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: Then they usually don't play.

408
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: Usually it's the opposite with them, But that's a cupcake

409
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: schedule cupcake.

410
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: On top of that, I'm looking at their schedule. They

411
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 5: have three road games all season. Reading that right at

412
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: A and m Eperdu and at USC. Everything else is

413
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 5: at home. That's wild isn't it crazy?

414
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: That is in the first year of the college football playoff.

415
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 4: It is funny how some teams the schedule. We always

416
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: talk about this in the NFL. We constantly sit there

417
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: in the NFL like.

418
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to play your first place schedule, which.

419
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 4: Always makes me row up in my mouth a little bit,

420
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: because there's only a three game difference between first place

421
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: schedule and last play schedule in every single division, So like,

422
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: there are literally three games that are different. The rest

423
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 4: of them are all the same, So stop your crying.

424
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: But in college football, the schedules are so drastically different.

425
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: I mean, look at how different it's going to be

426
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: for Oklahoma versus Texas coming into the SEC. They're both

427
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: going to come into the SEC, but their schedules are

428
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: not made the same. If you look at Notre Dame

429
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: their schedule and then look at Florida State, like, Florida

430
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 4: State schedule is brutal, Like, their schedules are not made

431
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: the same. And it's really interesting how some schools are

432
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: able to insulate themselves in this playoff era and make

433
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: sure that they have a better shot at it simply

434
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: by the way they've scheduled and that's where Notre Dame is.

435
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 4: Like I think we're having right now, the very discussion

436
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: that is going to be loud about Notre Dame when

437
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 4: there's an attempt in November to figure out where they

438
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: belong in the seating process. There are people that are

439
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: going to say they have played nobody, especially when you

440
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: look at the way the schedule is going to work

441
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: out for the Big Ten, when it's going to work

442
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: out for the SEC and you're looking at Notre Dame.

443
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Saying they're not an automatic qualifier.

444
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: They cannot win their conference, right, so they're gonna have

445
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: to sit there constantly looking into a large bid. There're

446
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of people yelling and screaming about

447
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: a two loss team that's played a brutal gauntlet versus

448
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: Notre Dame that's rolled through a bunch of Patsy's the

449
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 4: whole way. So, like I just I think this is

450
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: an interesting it'll be interesting to see what this year

451
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: does for the future of college football scheduling.

452
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, all right, we're gonna take quick

453
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: tal we'll come right back. We're gonna be doing this

454
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: like hopping in and around college football and the NFL.

455
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: I do want to start college our NFL conversation with

456
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: I want to look at three teams each conference, guys

457
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: that you think the arrows up during the preseason, that

458
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: the good things have happened, and three things that are down.

459
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: All right, three teams that you think have lost steam

460
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: during the preseason. So the little exercise coming up next.

461
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: We've got lots to do or got you covered? Man,

462
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: We're all solvaining just like you guys are. Jason fitz

495
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: All right. So during this preseason, yeah.

496
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: The typical, the big injury JJ McCarthy, which was a

497
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: devastating blow from Minnesota. I know that Donald's look better there,

498
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: but I mean at some point McCarthy I thought was

499
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: going to play FITZI.

500
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I did too.

501
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: I think that that's an absolutely worst case scenario for

502
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: the Vikings like that, when you have a rookie quarterback

503
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: come in, I always say the same thing I would

504
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: say to Patriots fans right now, to give them a

505
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: little bit of comfort after we trashed them a minute ago.

506
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 4: I think that there's some element of the most important

507
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: thing is figure it out, is that rookie quarterback your guy.

508
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 2: You know.

509
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: And as much as the Vikings can try and tell everybody, hey,

510
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 4: we're still trying to win right now, the biggest goal

511
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 4: this season was to make sure that JJ had the

512
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 4: opportunity to at some point start to show that he

513
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 4: could be the future. Now you lose a whole year

514
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: for him, and this is the same thing, you know.

515
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 4: I'm consistent on it. I said one of the things

516
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: last year that I think we need to remember is

517
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: that a lost season for Anthony Richardson has meaning to

518
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: where the Cold are expected to be this year. So

519
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: for JJ to not even get any meaningful NFL games

520
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: in that a regular season, I think that's an abject disaster.

521
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: You've lost here.

522
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 4: The biggest benefit to drafting your quarterback in the first

523
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: round is you get that fifth year. Well, you just

524
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 4: lost one of those five years by no fault on

525
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 4: your own, and he won't even really be able to

526
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: do anything that helps that development other than study film

527
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: and be a pro that way. But that's not that's

528
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: not what they needed from him. So that's a that's

529
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: a pretty catastrophic loss for the Vikings.

530
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was surprised too about the midnistics. When I

531
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: first saw the injury, I'm thinking, oh, that's that's probably

532
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: four to six weeks, and then it was like, nah, man,

533
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: he's got a chance to be out for the season.

534
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was surprised by that too. I don't know

535
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: how complicated that must have been.

536
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: But I also thought it was pretty interesting that the

537
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 4: way they couched it is, you know, he's going to

538
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: be out for the year, but this was this was

539
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 4: best to give him a long career. It's like, well,

540
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: what'd you find in there that you needed to do

541
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: that much work for a long career out of him?

542
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 4: In this Gus Like, that's just that's kind of wild

543
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: to me.

544
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: And you're all right, the rumors, the Brady rumors, Figgi

545
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: have already started.

546
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 5: I've not heard that, but I can't say I'm surprised

547
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 5: by it, because anytime a quarterbacks goes down, then he's

548
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 5: gonna be the first team that shows up. Because at

549
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 5: the age of seventy five, he was still out there

550
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 5: playing for Tampa Bay and still playing at a high level.

551
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 5: So it makes all the sense in the world why not.

552
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: And if they brought up, they made sure two veteran tackles, right,

553
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: really good running back and elite receivers and oh, by

554
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: the way, Kevin O'Connell's buddy.

555
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 5: Right, And adding to the fact that we're still been

556
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: waiting two years later for him to buy that ownership

557
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: stake in the Raiders and it hasn't officially happened yet,

558
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 5: so you know, but that's still, you know, looming out there.

559
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 5: If it hasn't happened, he's still eligible to play for

560
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 5: it for a football team, so you know, why not.

561
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 5: And look, if you're a team that you that you

562
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: feel is knocking on the door, I don't think Minnesota

563
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 5: is that team, although I do think they're probably going

564
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: to better this year than people think, but I don't

565
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 5: think they're going to be a Super Bowl contender. If

566
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: you are a team in that situation, why you call

567
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 5: Tom Brady engage his interest. It'd be the smartest thing

568
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 5: you could do.

569
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: He's work right, he's talking, he's talking about it, and

570
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: you know there was a video him and you know whatever,

571
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: he's joking or whatever, but he looks fantastic. And I

572
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: don't know if you're him. Does Minnesota do it for you?

573
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 5: No? No, Minnesota doesn't do it for me.

574
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 9: No.

575
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 5: I was just speaking in generalities moving on from Minnesota,

576
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 5: but specifically the Vikings. No, not right now.

577
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you got justin Jefferson, he got a good

578
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: tight end to by the way, you got that's O

579
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: line to protect you.

580
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's not it's not unattractive to me.

581
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're in the same division as the Lions,

582
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: you know, like it's it's difficult.

583
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: It's an easier conference, but it's a difficult division.

584
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: Remember when Peyton went to the Broncos and one of

585
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: the things that they talked about at the time was

586
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: he wanted to stay in conference because he had so

587
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 4: many notes on each of the teams that, yeah, he'd

588
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 4: be facing you know, I think that there's a there's

589
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: a little bit of a curve to that.

590
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: And then the other part of it is.

591
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he was Tampa, so it's not like.

592
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: Hed, No, that's fair, you're you're right.

593
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: I wasn't even thinking about that. You're right, so Tampa

594
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: is is you know, maybe that does make it a

595
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 4: little easier. I've already forgotten the Tampa era look at me.

596
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

597
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: There's also a Brady walking away from Fox at this

598
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: point would be I mean, that would be damaging to

599
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: the entire.

600
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Way that Fox does business. And I just don't know that.

601
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: Brady the business man loves the entire process of that.

602
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: You really think so, because I I for a second

603
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: I thought about it, and I got to believe that

604
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 3: Tom and his reps made it clear that hey, guys, listen,

605
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: there's a chance I may get the itch and.

606
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: Want to go back.

607
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm here with you for the long

608
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: the long haul, but you may have to, you know,

609
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: deal with me for the next year or two thinking

610
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: that I may go back.

611
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: That has to be.

612
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 5: Written into his contract or some understanding. I mean, this happened.

613
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: I remember Troy Aikman at one point in time. I

614
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 5: forget exactly I think it might have been the year

615
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 5: that Donov McNabb got injured, broke his ankle or something,

616
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: and Andy Reid called him when the broadcaster from Fox

617
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 5: and Troy had been retired for what three three four

618
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 5: years by then? Yes, yeah, and he said he seriously

619
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 5: thought about coming out of retirement and doing it. You know,

620
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 5: it's it's not Jay Cutler was an analyst for Fox

621
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 5: on TV Yeah, and left and left mid season from

622
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 5: being from the boot to play for the Dolphins. So

623
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: it has happened before.

624
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 4: Well, and a lot of people that played have it

625
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: in their contract that their contract presses pause that allows

626
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 4: them to go back and play.

627
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: And it doesn't. It doesn't rip up the deal. It

628
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: just pauses the dealing.

629
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: T And if you're Fox, you love it man Brady

630
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: News like it's like, all right, go ahead.

631
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: You know.

632
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: It just makes the anticipation that much bigger, and Brady's

633
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: that much, you know, dominating the news.

634
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I hadn't really thought of it from the

635
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: from that side of it. For Fox.

636
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: To me, it's more like you just demoted Greg Olsen,

637
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 4: You've put the new pieces in place, You've already given

638
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 4: him a year, You've done all these rehearsals to get

639
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: him ready. You've got everybody on the same page to

640
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: make sure that this is a glowing, perfect debut, and

641
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: then weeks before the season, he's like, let's give it

642
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 4: another year. Like that just seems like that's for you know,

643
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: for the way that networks work with leagues to make

644
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 4: sure that the NFL is happy with their.

645
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Broadcasts, like all of that, that portion of it.

646
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 4: And then there's the business side of not just how

647
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: much they're paying him, but at some point they expect

648
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 4: to get return on what they're going to be paying

649
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: him too.

650
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, I just think it creates such.

651
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: A wrinkle, like you could you can backfill it and

652
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: move everybody up one slot and then just bring somebody

653
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: in for that for your lowest team.

654
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 5: But you know, it's not ideal. It's definitely not ideal

655
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 5: for fox and they for sure be upset behind closed doors.

656
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 5: I think like, oh, this is terri week, have last minute.

657
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: We have to both put it this way, if Tom

658
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: went back for a year and then retired again and

659
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: said told Foxy I want to come back, they'd open

660
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: them bring him in with open arms. It wouldn't blink exactly,

661
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: you know, that's fair.

662
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: They definitely, but let's let's play this out for a

663
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: second because it's a fun conversation. So, uh, Fitzy, I'll

00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: an itch. I'm sorry, It's like it's just about how

667

00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: you see if there's any other teams that look more

674
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: attractive or you're jumping like what are you thinking?

675
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: I'm not even entertaining it, like I'm if I'm talking

00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: if you have the itch? Yeah, No, even if I

677
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 4: have the itch, I'm not entertaining it because the thing

678
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: of it is.

679
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: See the prerequis is you got the itch.

680
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but right now I'm Tom Brady at like, look,

681
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: so I'm Tom Brady the business man in this scenario,

682
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 4: and Tom Brady the business man is looking around saying, yeah,

683
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 4: I got a little bit of the itch and I

684
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: kind of want to play, but I also am gonna

685
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: look at the business. I'm gonna look at everything I'm around, Like, look,

686
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: I can't speak to what it's like to be an

687
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: NFL player, but I've over the last month, I've gone

688
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 4: out and played with Buddies three different times, you know,

689
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: for as many as twenty five thousand people. And the

690
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 4: number one question people keep asking me is, oh my god,

691
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: are you gonna go back out and tour again?

692
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: Like is it?

693
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: No?

694
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 4: Like I get to scratch the itch by being around

695
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: it and have a good time, but I don't have

696
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: to deal with all the other stuff.

697
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't got to get on a tour bus. I

698
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: don't got to live in a bunk.

699
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 4: I don't got to deal with twelve people on a

700
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: bus and all of the things that come with travel.

701
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to deal with the music business.

702
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: I just get to get out there, scratch the itch

703
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: by being an ancillary part of a.

704
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: Really cool night, and then go home, you know.

705
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: And there's an element of Tom Brady, you know, the

706
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: right now as he's the minority owner becoming the minority

707
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: owner of the Raiders, Like he's got that business portion

708
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 4: of it. Moving forward, He's got a massive contract from

709
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: Fox that will let him be around the game. And

710
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 4: his celebrity is I'm not sure has ever been higher

711
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: than it is right now in pop culture.

712
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: That guy. But that's not enough. He's a flickball guy.

713
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 3: Like he loves it. He loves practice. Like that's the

714
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: difference when you're when you're describing what I get to

715
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: go and I don't need to be on the tour bus.

716
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: He enjoys the tour bus.

717
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 5: Well, there's there is something to be said for If

718
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: he enjoyed it that much, then why did he retire

719
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: and I keep playing? You know, why didn't he spend

720
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 5: this offseason? And it's a certain degree, yes, I mean

721
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: what you.

722
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: Go for a long year, right, you look around, you go,

723
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: all right, well we're probably not going to go anywhere,

724
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: and you know you you're getting bagged up and you're like,

725
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: all right, that's it.

726
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm done. I'm done.

727
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: And that's how you feel in the moment, and you

728
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: feel that way, and then you try to convince yourself,

729
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, you spend the next couple of months, I've

730
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: got I feel good about it. I feel good about it,

731
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: and the next thing, you know, trading camps fit back

732
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: and you're like, huh, can I do that? And I

733
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: feel great because I've been working out, and are.

734
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: You kidding me? I want it myself to go back.

735
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 5: He's also he's gonna vince yourself to go back at

736
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 5: I mean played. It's funny.

737
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I like it.

738
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: He's a full season removed, like he's like he's just retired.

739
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 5: This past off season with Tanna Bay. He did nothing.

740
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 5: He was I won't say he sat on his butt.

741
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: He did a bunch of stuff media and all that stuff,

742
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: but I mean he didn't he didn't scratch that itch

743
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: we're talking about last year at all. And so it

744
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 5: fits his point. He's gonna be able to do that.

745
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 5: I'll be it in a different, you know fashion from

746
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: the booth. He's still gonna be able to study. Film

747
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 5: is just going to be not from a competitive standpoint,

748
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 5: just from a from a working standpoint. I don't know

749
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 5: if he actually has the itch to go back and play.

750
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 5: I really don't.

751
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: Again, I'm just saying I look at it and I

752
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: go I could see it.

753
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 2: I could totally see it.

754
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: I made a really good point.

755
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: So like like there is some element of if he

756
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 4: had the itch he had the entire offseason could have

757
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 4: gone anywhere.

758
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: If he had the itch he had the entire last year,

759
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: he could have gone anywhere.

760
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 4: Like why, why now weeks before the season starts, would

761
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: the itch be the thing that wins over?

762
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 3: Like I I'll tell you why, because you fought yourself.

763
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: You don't think he had in its last year. I

764
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: guarantee you had in this last year. And that's what

765
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: I meant about. You convince yourself that Okay, no, no,

766
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: don't do it, don't do it, and then the itch

767
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: just starts to nag at in, nag into sooner or later.

768
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: That's all you're thinking about. So I mean, I'm gonna

769
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: put it out a question again. I mean, we'll see

770
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: what happens. I mean, you know, you guys might be

771
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: right and he may just not do it and be

772
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: done right.

773
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 5: It's also an element of the one year.

774
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: If you get through this year, you're not He's not

775
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: coming back like that is it? This is your last window?

776
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 3: And he made me think of that.

777
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 2: Who knows?

778
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't. Look, he doesn't have paid Manning

779
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 5: is a bad example. He had the shoulder injury, and

780
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 5: obviously he knows the last year was not the paid

781
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 5: manning that we all knew and loved, and they won

782
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 5: pretty much in spite of him. Tom Brady won has

783
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 5: really nothing left to prove on a football field, and

784
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 5: two can really he won't tarnish his legacy even if

785
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: he goes out and plays horribly for a season. But

786
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 5: I just wonder from his standpoint, what does he have

787
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 5: to gain by coming back, you know, nothing, So like

788
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 5: at that point, I even.

789
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: Do it because he wants to at the at the

790
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: risk of yearning, risk of watt what are you risking?

791
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean playing comes out and that's that's what I mean.

792
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 5: You know, well he doesn't want that.

793
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, for him, like if I go, it.

794
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: Is mind he's not thinking he's going to suck, right,

795
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: and like in his mind like yeah, he'd be disappointed,

796
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 3: But in his mind's not thinking that, well, I'm going

797
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: to take quick to ye, Well we'll continue.

798
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,560

Speaker 2: be that. Now. My little guy's thirteen.

825

826
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: wears thirteen, so for him, it's thirteen. For I think

827
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: it's got to be thirty two. It's a good number.

828

829
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: good ring to thirty two. It feels like that. That's

830
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 4: a good like that's a rich, rich number, like you're

831
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 4: playing in the NFL. Thirty two that means you made

832
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,400

848
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 5: was all this time. I like to be in my mind.

849
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 5: I was in my mind.

850
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: I was on the field, not so much ninety two.

851
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 5: I like it, but that was that was my number

852
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 5: back the day.

853
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: Uh, any gigs like what we talked about the Brady thing,

854
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: And I'm curious who you used your your gig as

855
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: an analogy. Yeah, I mean how strong did your itch

856
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,440

00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: You can go back and make an extraordinary living and

861
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 3: go back on the road, which is what you you

862
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: dig before playing, before you know, pack the rena is

863
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 3: in stadiums.

864
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, zero interest, but you know it's fun to sit

865
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 4: in with friends, like you know, yeah Jordan Davis a

866
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 4: few weeks ago, Collective Soul after that, and then last

867
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 4: weekend I was out in Vegas with Chris Young and

868
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: you know, just come out, play a song or two,

869
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 4: you know, and have a good time with buddies and

870
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: then move about the cabin like it's nice because you

871
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: get to walk out and get to look at the

872
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 4: crowd and you get to feel that energy for a minute.

873
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 4: But you know, then the minute you finished, you're like,

874
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 4: all right, that was good, let's let's go. Like we

875
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 4: were in Vegas, and turned into you know, a bit

876
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 4: of a poise weekend and had a blast all weekend

877
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 4: hanging out. So like, it's funny that the playing in

878
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 4: the middle of Chris's pack show at Resorts World was

879
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: probably the It was a great highlight for me, but

880
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 4: it wasn't the fun the most fun thing of the

881
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 4: weekend even, Like it's just one of those things where

882
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 4: I love that my friends let me come in scratch

883
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 4: and it should be harder during football season because.

884
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: We're all so busy. I don't think I'll get to

885
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: play much during football season.

886
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think next summer I might just spend

887
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: the whole time, you know, while I've got downtime, I

888
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 4: might more time trying to sit in with as many

889
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 4: people as possible.

890
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 2: That's cool. It's funny, like how you go the zero interests.

891
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: So this little this is almost like just a you know,

892
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: it's it's a way to keep your your your hand

893
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 3: in it a little bit in the summertime, and you

894
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 3: can do it on your terms.

895
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I know too much about the rest of

896
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: the business, and like I remember the things I didn't

897
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 4: like about it, so it's easy for me to look

898
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: around and be like Yep, this is really fun, but

899
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 4: I know all of the things that come with it

900
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 4: that I don't want to be part of. So I

901
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 4: just want to have a good time, do this for

902
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 4: a day, and then, you know, go back to my

903
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 4: normal life because I wouldn't trade what I do now

904
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: for any gig in the world.

905
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. So sports is trumped music.

Speaker 5: something that's too serious.

932
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

933
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 5: They just said they wanted to sort of manage his

934
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 5: innings at this point in time, so they felt the

935
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 5: best put him on the el opens up a roster

936
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 5: spot so they can call somebody else up. So I

937
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 5: won't say it's nothing to be concerned about, because anytime

938
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 5: you talk about an injury and arm issue with the pitcher,

939
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 5: it's it's obviously a concern. But it doesn't sound like

940
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 5: as if he's going to be shut down for any

941
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 5: considerable period of time. They just wanted to give him

942
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: some extra time. Apparently he wanted to pitch. He was

943
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: scheduled to pitch a later today, but Dave Roberts in

944
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 5: the front office thought it was best if they just

945
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 5: gave him a little bit of a rest, but and

946
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 5: gave him some rest. So nothing to be ultimately concerned

947
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 5: about long term. They just wanted to give him some

948
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 5: rest at this point.

949
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: What's their rotation look like? Was beautif coming back, right, Yeah,

950
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 3: coming back like.

951
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 5: That's a good question.

952
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 4: The lack of disgust from Figy right there, just said

953
00:42:59,080 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 4: everything go ahead.

954
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 5: But once their rotation look like is a great question.

955
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 5: So Butler just came back and did not perform well.

956
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 5: The other night against Milwaukee, Yamamoto just wrapped up his

957
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 5: last bullpen session. So remember he got off to a

958
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: great start to the season, and so he's going to

959
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 5: go back going to rehab assignment for a couple of starts,

960
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 5: and they're going to determine when he should return to

961
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 5: the rotation. You know, Kershaw has been steadily improving. Not great,

962
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: but he's been better when he's been back in the

963
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 5: rotation over the last couple of weeks. Bobby Miller was

964
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 5: someone there high on. He has not performed well since

965
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 5: being sent back down to the Miners to work on

966
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 5: some things. Their rotation is kind of all over the

967
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 5: place at this point.

968
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: Really.

969
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: Their mainstays have been Glass now, who I just mentioned

970
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 5: is gone on the injured list the short term injuries

971
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 5: at least, and Flaherty, who they just traded for, who

972
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 5: has been his first start was great against Oakland, but

973
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 5: it's Oakland he's been decent since then. I don't know

974
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 5: if he's been lights out. He's been very good and

975
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 5: very solid for a rotation that's needed some stability. So

976
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 5: at the very least he's gone out there and given

977
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 5: him five six innings, which has been a struggle for

978
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 5: them for the greater part of the last couple of months.

979
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 5: So really, outside of glass Now and Flaerty, those are

980
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 5: your two givens. And then after that, it's a lot

981
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: of ifs. If Buler is back healthy and works out

982
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 5: his issues, if Bobby Miller works out his issues, if

983
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 5: Yama Moto comes back healthy. There's just there's a lot

984
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 5: of IFFs in question marks up and down that rotation

985
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 5: right now.

986
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: Well, but if you got it, if you've got a

987
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 3: three in the in the playoffs, I mean that could

988
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 3: be nasty. I mean, you rock with glass Now, Yama Moto,

989
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: you go Flaherty or.

990
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 5: Or ideally yeah, you know those will be your top

991
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 5: three in a perfect world.

992
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: See how Kershaw goes, you can see how Bueller goes.

993
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 3: But like you got, you got a real good chance

994
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 3: to have a big rotation for the playoffs.

995
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's just that there's too many yifs, though, fits.

996
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 4: But what you were just saying the last three words

997
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Let's be honest, absolutely none of this

998
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 4: matters for the Dodgers. I don't want to I don't

999
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 4: want to oversimplify everything here, but like it doesn't matter.

1000
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 4: They could have everybody just mail in the rest of

1001
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 4: the regular season, doesn't matter. Like they're only going to

1002
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: be judged by based on what happens in the playoffs.

1003
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 4: So if they've got sick guys now and get him healthy,

1004
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 4: like that's the only thing, Figgie that anybody's gonna remember

1005
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 4: out of this run. The expectations. We almost forget how

1006
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 4: lofty the expectations are supposed to be for this team

1007
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 4: because it's been a relatively quiet compared to what people thought.

1008
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 4: It's been a relatively quiet year this year, Like the

1009
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 4: Dodgers has been very good.

1010
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: It's just we came in with the oh god, they

1011
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be the bet, you know what I mean.

1012
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: Like it's so it's overtook the Phillies for the best

1013
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 3: record in the baseball at MLB. I mean, I don't know,

1014
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 3: I think they're pretty Nancy. I mean, Bets has been

1015
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 3: out forever. He just comes back and by the way. Wait,

1016
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 3: oh my god, he's great. You know we're last night again.

1017
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1018
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: So I will say going into the year, like the win,

1019
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: it was a win win.

1020
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: If the Dodgers lived up to expectations, the Dodgers were

1021
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 4: going to be great, everybody would talk about it. If

1022
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 4: the Dodgers didn't, fancy, go apoplectic and it'll be great

1023
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 4: because people will be freaking out and we could talk

1024
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 4: about it. I still stand by that. You know that, Yes,

1025
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 4: the Dodgers have the best record in the BIGS, but

1026
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 4: it's you know, by what a half a game, I think.

1027
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 5: So I think they're a little behind the Yankees. I

1028
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: think the Phillies jumped over them too in the last

1029
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 5: day or so.

1030
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: So they have one of the best records in correct.

1031
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 4: But the expectation coming into the year, well man, we

1032
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: were talking about it like it was gonna be basically Batman,

1033
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: Superman and Deadpool and Wolverine all on one team, just

1034
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 4: killing everybody.

1035
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, So like even that feels plase compared to

1036
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: what we expected.

1037
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying is that nothing that happens today

1038
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 4: will matter. They could lose the next ten games, it

1039
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 4: won't matter if they win in the playoffs, everybody will

1040
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 4: love this season.

1041
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: If they don't, they won't. That's the hard part about

1042
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: all of this with baseball.

1043
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 4: It is like, at the end of the day, how

1044
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 4: can I get meaning to what happens or the news

1045
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 4: right now when we all know that the only thing

1046
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 4: they'll be judged one.

1047
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: Is what happens in October.

1048
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 5: Well, I do think there's something to be said for

1049
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 5: building habits as you get towards the postseason, and things

1050
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 5: that you can rely on, and you know, building building

1051
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 5: towards things that are reliable once the playoffs start, which

1052
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 5: is a good bullpen, starting pitching, and the offense can

1053
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 5: come and go. Dodger fans will tell you, you know how

1054
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 5: great they've had. Great offense is the last couple of

1055
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 5: the regular seasons. In the playoffs they've gone completely dark.

1056
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 5: The issue has been health. If you don't have top health,

1057
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 5: you know, when it comes from a pitching standpoint, going

1058
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 5: into the postseason, that is going to be a major concern.

1059
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 5: You don't see people, you know, piecemeal together rotations going

1060
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 5: into the playoffs. At the very least you have the

1061
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 5: confidence to lean on the fact that you have two

1062
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 5: or three great arms going into the playoffs to keep

1063
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 5: you in games, and right now I don't think they

1064
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 5: can confidently say that. So look, it's not lost on

1065
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 5: Dodger fans from a local standpoint. I won't say they're panicking,

1066
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 5: but they certainly all concerned, mainly because they're no longer

1067
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 5: running away with the division. Whether or not they won

1068
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 5: one hundred plus games that they had the last couple

1069
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 5: of years and you know, ran away with the best

1070
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 5: record in the National League and then got swept in

1071
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 5: the playoffs is different. I mean, now you're talking about

1072
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 5: the potential of falling from being a division winner and

1073
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 5: having a buy in the first round, of falling into

1074
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 5: the wildcard, which is something that nobody thought would be

1075
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 5: the case. Now granted, fits once the playoffs begins, it

1076
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter how you get there. No one's going

1077
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 5: to care whether you are a wildcard or whether you

1078
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 5: have the best record in the history of the sport.

1079
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 5: If you win the World Series, you win the World Series.

1080
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 5: It's concerning at this point because the things that you

1081
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 5: need to be successful in the postseason, they don't necessarily

1082
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 5: have those things clicking on all cylinders right now, and

1083
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 5: that's a struggling starting to rotation and a struggling bullpen.

1084
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 5: All that being said, to your point, I'm looking at

1085
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 5: the standings right now. They have the fourth best record

1086
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 5: in baseball in the one game behind the Yankees for

1087
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 5: the best record overall, So it could be worse.

1088
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's funny. I'm listening to

1089
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 3: the Fitzie and we talk about devaluing the.

1090
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 2: NBA regular season.

1091
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 3: I mean, adding the tiers in baseball is It's just ridiculous.

1092
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: It just makes it possible, like one sixty two.

1093
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 3: It's supposed to determine a lot more than having. Oh well,

1094
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 3: I don't have to play a wildcard round. And by

1095
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 3: the way it used to, that's probably not good because

1096
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 3: when you lay off, when you have a layoff in baseball,

1097
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: huge job, it's hard to get back to it.

1098
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: The wild cart layoff is bad, I believe it.

1099
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it certainly has a negatively effected the

1100
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 5: Dodgers the last couple of seasons. Some teams are able

1101
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 5: to weather through it and it doesn't cause much of

1102
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 5: an issue, but losing a rhythm, especially in a game

1103
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 5: that you play literally every single solitary day of the

1104
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 5: week and not playing for five or six straight days.

1105
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 5: I don't know how that can not affect you, especially

1106
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 5: knowing that you're playing against a team that had to play,

1107
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 5: that was playing do or die, you know, three four

1108
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 5: days leading up to the start of the series.

1109
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: I know it's such a big event that they should

1110
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 3: be baseball man, I just don't even understand that.

1111
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes I have to be honest with you. I like

1112
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: it is all it is.

1113
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: But also, like you made the NBA comparison, the only

1114
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 4: thing I'd say is right now, I would give Dodgers

1115
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 4: the same Dodgers fans the same exact message that I

1116
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 4: gave Celtics fans at the beginning of the NBA playoff rount,

1117
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 4: which was like, stop worrying about what's happened in the past,

1118
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 4: and just let this year be this year, Like the

1119
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 4: Dodgers are one of the best teams in baseball.

1120
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: Like this is me oversimplified, but we do this all

1121
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: the time.

1122
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 4: We take this this narrative from past years and we

1123
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 4: apply it to this year's team. And I just don't

1124
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: think that that's a successful in modern sports. I don't

1125
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 4: think that that's a successful strategy anymore.

1126
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 3: I think I don't think it's like that in any

1127
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 3: any error. I agree with you. I last year does

1128
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 3: not have anything to.

1129
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 2: Do with this year.

1130
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: It's completely different. Makeup. I'm with you now. Fans are

1131
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 3: holding on the last year like Dodger fans, and you

1132
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong, Figgy, but you that's your

1133
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: emotional baggage that you bring into every season.

1134
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: It's hard to put the backpack down.

1135
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's different than any other fan base.

1136
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 5: To be honest, if you're a franchise that's been knocking

1137
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 5: on the door for years and you don't win, ultimately,

1138
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 5: they're going to say like, well, this good is not

1139
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 5: good enough winning division titles. This about the Braves back

1140
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 5: in the day when they won their what was it

1141
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 5: thirteen fourteen straight division titles and only won one championship

1142
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 5: and out out of fifteen people got you know, it

1143
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 5: was just apathy set in, especially the lad the latter half,

1144
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 5: you know, the last six or seven people stop coming

1145
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 5: to regular season games. At a certain point, they're like, yeah,

1146
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 5: call me on the playoffs start and see if they

1147
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 5: don't find a way to screw it up when it

1148
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 5: matters most it's it's not and they say they want

1149
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 5: to start calling for heads. They want to call for

1150
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 5: the heads of the president of the team or the

1151
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 5: manager because they feel like you knock on the door

1152
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 5: every single year and for some reason you don't win,

1153
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 5: and somebody has to pay for it, as opposed to

1154
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 5: just chalking it up to like you guys's point, every year,

1155
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 5: you chalk it up to randomness. A team gets hot,

1156
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 5: a key player gets injured, God God comes out of

1157
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 5: nowhere and starts playing well. There's certain and unfortunately for

1158
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 5: some franchises it happened. They happen to be the victim

1159
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 5: every single time. You know, for whatever reason.

1160
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 4: Isn't that exactly where Bill's fans are right now? And

1161
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 4: the funny thing about that is Steelers fans weren't were

1162
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 4: there a few years ago?

1163
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: There were Steeler fans out.

1164
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 4: There calling for Tomlin's job because he couldn't win enough

1165
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 4: Super Bowls with Big Ben. And it's like, this is

1166
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 4: what happens, but it look is speaking from the opposite landscape.

1167
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: But like when your team stakes.

1168
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 4: One of the hardest things about being a Raiders fan

1169
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 4: is that I have, at this point in my forty

1170
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 4: seven years of life, right I have most of that.

1171
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: Watching bad football teams. So for me, it's here we

1172
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: go again.

1173
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 4: But for the entire regime that comes in, they can't

1174
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 4: worry about that, like for Antonio Pears and Tom Tolesco

1175
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 4: coming in running the Raiders.

1176
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: Right now, this is year one of.

1177
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 4: This regime, so whatever happened last year is meaningless to them.

1178
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 4: And the hardest part about fans relating with our teams

1179
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 4: is that we carry this baggage and this angst and

1180
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: all of this forward with us, where our organization simply can't.

1181
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 4: The organization has to reset and say, Okay, new regime,

1182
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 4: new year. What happened in the past doesn't matter. And

1183
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 4: that's just a hard thing to remind fans, but it's

1184
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 4: true and that what happened in the past doesn't go I.

1185
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: Want him out.

1186
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 5: Something's got to change, you know.

1187
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 3: That goes back, dude, Guys, I saw it with Andy Reid.

1188
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 3: Randy Reed was the best coach in the Eagles history,

1189
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 3: no one close to them, and Buddy, they were like,

1190
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 3: get out, And I'm thinking, why do you want to

1191
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 3: end to go? What of all people? Oh my god, it's.

1192
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 5: Like change for the sake of change. It usually is

1193
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 5: not a good thing and usually doesn't end up yelding

1194
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 5: the results that you wanted. You know, it's like the

1195
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 5: old saying of dancing with the devil that you do

1196
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 5: as opposed to the devil that you don't. He's like, well,

1197
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 5: the devil that you do, you know, is winning, you know,

1198
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 5: you know, seventy percent of his games, that makes the

1199
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 5: playoffs every year. All you can do in any sport

1200
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 5: is give yourself an opportunity to compete for a championship

1201
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 5: on a year and year out basis, and then you

1202
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 5: just kind of chalk it up to whatever health, whoever

1203
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 5: gets hot, you know, any of those different factors. But

1204
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 5: a lot of too often, you know, the front offices

1205
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 5: and coaches get blamed for like they were good enough

1206
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 5: to get a team to a certain point during the

1207
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 5: regular season. Is it really their fault that it all

1208
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 5: fell apart in the playoffs? So does it fall in

1209
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 5: the players?

1210
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 3: It's it falls to circumstance, right because you know, I mean,

1211
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 3: did Sean McDermott forget how to coach?

1212
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 2: In thirteen seconds? Right? Right?

1213
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 3: Like you know, I mean, like somebody's going to come

1214
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 3: out and win a game, you know, against the Bengals

1215
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 3: because their line got pushed around a little bit like

1216
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: that's just not how it's just the matchup and the

1217
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 3: circumstance of it all.

1218
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 4: I love the way you said the circumstance, because that's

1219
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 4: the hard part that you know. And again, we just

1220
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 4: have this valuable lesson from the Celtics because it's easy

1221
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 4: to sit there and say, well, every year and it's like,

1222
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 4: well that doesn't how does that play into this year?

1223
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 4: And who they're playing every year is different. So if

1224
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 4: you want to look properly at the Bills, for example,

1225
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 4: you have to take into account the fact that each

1226
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 4: year with the Bills has had a different weird ending.

1227
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 4: So you know who is to blame for that? Well,

1228
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 4: I don't think that there's any one person that would

1229
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 4: suddenly change the fate of the Buffalo Bills. It's like

1230
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: it's a little bit of bad luck combined with taking

1231
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 4: on arguably the best player of all time at his position,

1232
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 4: and you know might turn out to be your take

1233
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 4: it on the best tandem of coaching quarterback by the

1234
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 4: time it's all said and done, possibly ever, and you

1235
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 4: just it just didn't break your way. Like better to

1236
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 4: be lucky than good is a real thing. And I

1237
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 4: know some people always tell me that that's a loser's mentality,

1238
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 4: and it's like, no, there's a difference between I accept

1239
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 4: losing versus I understand context. And context is important when

1240
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 4: we have any conversation about why a team isn't winning

1241
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 4: more games.

1242
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 5: Spotty one nuance gets lost in sports, especially in today's era,

1243
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 5: where everybody has an opinion. Everybody has you know, the

1244
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 5: hot their hot take. You know this team sucks or

1245
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 5: this team is great, and there's no one between, and

1246
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 5: there's no I can't give you, you know, deep context

1247
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 5: as to why, because nobody wants to hear that. They

1248
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 5: just want to hear me yell and rant and rave

1249
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 5: that this team is terrible and they should fire everybody exactly.

1250
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 3: Like, there's a big difference like when you have competency,

1251
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 3: and it's funny you look at the running NFL and

1252
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 3: you look at the success of players, how much is

1253
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 3: it due to the fact that you have competent head coaches?

1254
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:04,399
Speaker 2: Right?

1255
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 3: Like, really, not all of them are competent, right, Not

1256
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 3: all of them are Shanahan or McVeigh. There's a lot

1257
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 3: of competent guys like that come through coordinators, head coaches

1258
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: that the negatively impact a franchise or a player that

1259
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 3: will bury you.

1260
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1261
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'd argue that we have forgotten that. We

1262
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 4: accept the fact that it's difficult to find a quarterback,

1263
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 4: to find a great quarterback, and I think we've accepted

1264
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 4: that as a society, we have forgotten that it's equally

1265
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 4: difficult to find a great head coach. To find a

1266
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 4: Tomlin is such a rare thing, and then the lack

1267
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 4: of appreciation that comes with that coach is absolutely wild.

1268
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 4: And sometimes like look at Dable, somebody we thought after

1269
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 4: one year, like, oh, yeah, he's the guy, and now

1270
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 4: we sit here and say, I don't know, it could

1271
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 4: be the hot seat.

1272
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: Like we just forget how hard it is is.

1273
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 4: To find an Andy Reid, and then when you have

1274
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 4: an Andy Reid, suddenly you find a reason to not

1275
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 4: appreciate him and you think, well, we'll find some other

1276
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 4: guy to come in. For every Andy Reid, there's a

1277
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 4: hundred guys that aren't Andy Reid that fail miserably and

1278
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 4: as a result, they set your entire organization.

1279
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, picking a head coach is so huge.

1280
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 3: I was having this conversation with Baldy the other day,

1281
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 3: which is we're talking about Davil, Is it Dable's fault,

1282
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 3: or is the fact that the GM hasn't been able

1283
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 3: to build whoever's been the GM an offensive line in

1284
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: New York? And then you're rolling back with Danny Dimes, like,

1285
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? How's that Dable's fault that he

1286
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 3: can't win with that roster?

1287
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1288
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 4: And that raises the whole like who do we blame?

1289
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 4: Because at the end of the day, what everybody really

1290
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 4: wants they want somebody to blame, right, And so the

1291
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 4: problem is you just got to figure out You got

1292
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 4: to look at all of this. And a buddy of

1293
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 4: mine years ago said, as yourself this question, and I

1294
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 4: think this is really true. He said, ask yourself this question,

1295
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 4: look at your favorite team's roster, and then ask yourself,

1296
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 4: point blank, how many of the players right now starting

1297
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 4: on my favorite team would start on a super Bowl

1298
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 4: caliber team. And that's the best way to look around

1299
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 4: and be like, Okay, yes we should be in contention,

1300
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 4: or no, we shouldn't. And I think if you actually

1301
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 4: inject truth serum and you make fans of certain teams

1302
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 4: do that walk around like Titans fans blow me up

1303
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 4: all the time because all my years in Nashville about

1304
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 4: why they get so much disrespect. Okay, well, I'll ask

1305
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 4: your Titans fans, how many players right now on that

1306
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 4: team starting on their twenty two would start on a

1307
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 4: Super Bowl caliber football team. And when you take it

1308
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 4: with that sort of critical lens, you figure out quickly

1309
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 4: that maybe it's not all your coach, Maybe it's partially

1310
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 4: your GM, and maybe it's the tandem of all of

1311
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 4: them not being able to communicate to each other that's

1312
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 4: causing your organization to fail.

1313
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 5: It's rarely ever one thing that's the issue. It's really

1314
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 5: well the GM. Now, sometimes I f a GM is

1315
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 5: so poor and puts together a terrible roster. But usually

1316
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 5: the GM in the head coach just don't have the

1317
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 5: sort of synergy they thought they did when they linked

1318
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 5: up and it didn't work. Dave Ball is a great

1319
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 5: example because Dave Ball and Josh Allen perfect marriage. If

1320
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 5: Josh Allen had a different offensive coordinator, maybe he doesn't

1321
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 5: develop and he stays that raw talented with all that ability,

1322
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 5: but doesn't actually cultivate it and turn into a great quarterback.

1323
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 5: Dave Ball as a great coach, but works with Daniel

1324
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 5: Jones who maybe just doesn't have whatever it is is

1325
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 5: just missing it and doesn't have that's not a right

1326
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 5: combination for success between the two of them. So a

1327
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 5: lot of times it's not just one thing. That's a combination.

1328
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 5: And when you have the combination of the great head

1329
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 5: coach and or coordinator, the great quarterback and a good

1330
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 5: front office, that's who you get the sustained success of

1331
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 5: like a San Francisco, a Pittsburgh. You know, enfranchises like that,

1332
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 5: which are a few and far between, because sometimes it

1333
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 5: is just kind of a perfect storm of all the

1334
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 5: planets aligning for one franchise. You're finding the right people

1335
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 5: at the right time that work well together. And that's

1336
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 5: really really difficult to do, which is why there's not

1337
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 5: that many organizations that do it consistently.

1338
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1339
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 3: No, it's the truth, which is probably why Ben Johnson

1340
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 3: stays the true roy and has cold feet about Washington.

1341
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 5: I get it.

1342
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because you got to know, man, Like that's

1343
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 4: the other side of it, Like, you know, you got

1344
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 4: to know and when you're taking that opportunity as a

1345
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 4: coach that everybody in that organization is on the same page.

1346
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: And one thing I've said in.

1347
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 4: My life, whether we're talking about music or sports, the

1348
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 4: one thing that I know for certain is that I

1349
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 4: want to work for people that at their core are

1350
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 4: a fan of what I do, because if they're not

1351
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 4: a fan of what I do and things start to

1352
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 4: go wrong, whether it's you know, the platform or a

1353
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 4: single doesn't do well or you know, show's not doing well,

1354
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 4: if they're not a fan of what I do and

1355
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 4: who I am, they're not going to fight for me.

1356
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 4: And you got to know that going into the building

1357
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 4: as a coach. You got to know that the owner,

1358
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 4: the GM, that the team president, everybody involved is a

1359
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 4: fan and has the same vision. And if there's any doubt,

1360
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 4: you shouldn't take that job, because if anything isn't right

1361
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 4: in that process, it is so easy for it to

1362
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 4: go wrong, and once it goes wrong, nobody will give

1363
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 4: you the context opportunity then to say, well, you know what,

1364
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 4: the GM didn't really understand what I want out of

1365
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 4: an offensive line, and that's that's such a nuanced conversation.

1366
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna have first takers just gonna yell that the

1367
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 4: coach sucked.

1368
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: That's it.

1369
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 4: And so all of a sudden, you and your family

1370
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 4: are being dragged through the mug for something that had

1371
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 4: nothing to do with your skill set.

1372
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Like, that's the reality.

1373
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 4: I won't ever fault somebody for being patient and taking

1374
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 4: the right opportunity.

1375

1413
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 2: All right, boys, we're talking about this. I pose the question.

1414
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 3: Of course, we always get sidetracked because we get into

1415
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 3: these rabbit holes and have these winding conversations. I want

1416
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 3: to do three up, three down, AFC NFC three teams

1417
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 3: during the preseason that that look arrow up and three

1418
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I rode down. Let's start AFC three down the fitsie.

1419
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 4: I mean, one preseason game is hard to get three

1420
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 4: down out of, but that being sat.

1421
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Up all the entire body of the preseason so far.

1422
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: The body of the preseason.

1423
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like we're like, you know, we're only

1424
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 3: got two weeks left, so we got a kind of

1425
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 3: an idea now.

1426
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 4: That that's so wild to me that we only have.

1427
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 4: So the Patriots are definitely one of the down. I think,

1428
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 4: you know, even the trade over the course of the

1429
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 4: weekend or the week I should say, sort of acknowledges

1430
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 4: that the Patriots understand that they're not competing for anything,

1431
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 4: and they understand that they're in complete rebuild mode. So

1432
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 4: I think that's a bit of a down obviously. So

1433
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 4: I'll take New England as one of my AFC downs.

1434
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 4: Feel pretty good about that. I think we're only doing

1435
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 4: the downs first. I mean, gosh, I'm trying to think

1436
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 4: of bad, bad, bad preseasons. I don't know, Like New

1437
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 4: England stands out to me is the one that's awful

1438
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 4: of this Steelers down justin Fields didn't look great in

1439
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 4: the first game, and I really think they need him

1440
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 4: to take that job. So I'll take the Steelers as

1441
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 4: a down in the preseason.

1442
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Feel pretty good about that one.

1443
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 4: And then gosh, is there another team in the AFC,

1444
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 4: I'm not thinking of that's had a terrible off of

1445
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 4: the terrible preseason, I don't think so. I think those

1446
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 4: are the only two that really come down to mind

1447
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 4: for me figuring who am I missing.

1448
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 5: I mean, no one really, Like you said, it's hard

1449
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 5: to glean from just you know, one game from any

1450
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 5: of these teams to say the arrow is pointing down.

1451
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 5: Like I said, the Patriots, I think is probably the

1452
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 5: consensus for all three of us in the AFC because

1453
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 5: they just look so bad. And Denver, I I mean,

1454
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 5: I would.

1455
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 4: Have put Denver on the list, but Bonnicks actually looked

1456
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 4: pretty good preseason. So I'm sitting there saying, I think

1457
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 4: Bonis and the the Broncos are going to be you know,

1458
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 4: I think I think the Broncos have the potential to

1459
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 4: be one of the worst.

1460
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Teams in the AFC. Again, But then Bonnicks came out

1461
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: was really solid Week one. So I looked at it.

1462
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, maybe he.

1463
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 3: Was I guess, you know, I mean, it's all about

1464
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 3: how you look at it, right.

1465
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, if you want to say Vanilla defenses

1466
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 5: and all that, you know, for a lot of these

1467
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 5: guys and what they're facing, because I know that was

1468
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 5: a big.

1469
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I like Drake May. I thought Drake May

1470
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 3: showed flashes a little bit like he looked he looked

1471
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 3: the part. Yeah, looked better than you know, barey zappy.

1472
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 5: I guess for me, like it's hard for me to

1473
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 5: really past judgment on any of these franchises based on

1474
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 5: the preseason when a lot of starters didn't play for

1475
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 5: many of the teams, I can just go off of

1476
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 5: what the offseason or at least what I perceive the

1477
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 5: all seasons to be for a lot of them. And

1478
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 5: Patriots arrow pointing down. I would say Denver even still

1479
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 5: probably errow pointing down for the most part, because they

1480
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 5: still have a lot of work they need to do

1481
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 5: to improve what they're doing. And i'd probably say Tennessee

1482
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 5: to be honest with you, I think the arrow's down

1483
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 5: on them as well.

1484
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 4: I would take the arrow down on the Chargers because

1485
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 4: of the like it feels like the injury bug is back,

1486
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 4: and that's just a constant thing. Like I think the

1487
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 4: Chargers long term, as we say constantly, the Chargers are

1488
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 4: going to be just fine. And I think Justin Herbert

1489
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 4: is a superstar I think all of these things can

1490
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 4: be true. But I also think that when you talk

1491
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 4: about the injury bug hitting Herbert before they've even started

1492
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 4: the season, that's just a little bit concerning to me.

1493
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 4: So I think maybe a little bit of down on

1494
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 4: the Chargers.

1495
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,919
Speaker 5: Don't forget Joey Bosa, his annual injury has broke his hand,

1496
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 5: So that's it's gotten off to a good start.

1497
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 2: I got. It's unbelievable, it's uncanny.

1498
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 5: It's just really unfortunate.

1499
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: It never ends fortunate. I know.

1500
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 5: I think the guy's played sixteen games or like twice

1501
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 5: or something like that in his career, which is unfortunate

1502
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 5: because he's a great player when he's actually on the field.

1503
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 5: He's just never on the field.

1504
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 3: He's a great boy. It's insane and I always hate that.

1505
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 3: I always think great, great boys get robbed. Yeah, I'm sorry.

1506
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 4: Are we allowed to put like because it feels dirty

1507
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 4: ding this, but are we allowed to put Kansas City

1508
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 4: at all.

1509
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: On the down?

1510
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 4: It's just because the Hollywood Brown injury, I think is

1511
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 4: pretty significant.

1512
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Like we don't know how long that's going to be.

1513
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the timetable.

1514
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 4: If they've they've said anything yet on that, but you know,

1515
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 4: losing an important reason.

1516
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 3: I mean about signify I roads just an arrow. It

1517
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. It's something like, it's yeah, I considering.

1518
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 4: Hard now that I'm not picking the Chiefs to go

1519
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl shut down.

1520
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: You know, like two things at once right there.

1521
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 5: He is expected to be an important player for them

1522
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 5: and a position of need for sure, So a huge

1523
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 5: position in and something that you know and people you

1524
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 5: know are automatically going to question, well, see, Andy, this

1525
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 5: is why you don't player starters in the preseason. So

1526
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 5: which doesn't bother me. It's a it's a philosophical choice.

1527
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 5: I don't care one way or the other if a

1528
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 5: team decides to play their starters or not. Some guys

1529
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 5: rather like, you know, get out there and get hit

1530
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 5: a couple of times and get a nice leather in

1531
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 5: the preseason. Some would never rather not play. And I

1532
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 5: don't know if there's it's an inexact science. I don't

1533
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 5: know if there's a good or bad either way. I

1534
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 5: feel like it's worked for some teams. The Rams at

1535
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 5: Sean McVay have never played their starters. They've been to

1536
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 5: a couple of Super Bowls and won one. You know

1537
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 5: there's some where's where's.

1538
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: The line on that combo too?

1539
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,520
Speaker 4: Because we've seen substantial players this year get injured in practice.

1540
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 1: Sure, what are we supposed to do now? Be like, see,

1541
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: this is why you don't practice your players. It's time

1542
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: you play football. Your rear risk.

1543
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 5: Happens every year. Bridgewater's career got destroyed in practice with

1544
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 5: the tory ac lmniscus or whatever it was. Like, this

1545
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 5: stuff happens all the time. Devastating injuries happen in practice constantly.

1546
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 5: But because it's on TV for everybody to see, it's

1547
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 5: in a game action. That's where the criticism comes in.

1548
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 5: If you're out there playing football, it's a violent game

1549
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 5: with a lot of explosive running and cutting. Unfortunately, you're

1550
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 5: gonna put yourself at risk for devastating injuries. And sometimes

1551
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 5: they happen in practice, and sometimes it happen in games,

1552
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 5: and sometimes you can't avoid them.

1553
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 2: Avoid it one way or the other.

1554
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Hey, Joey Posa, you ready Yeah? Twenty sixteen, eleven,

1555
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, sixteen, twenty eighteen, six Use your game started

1556
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:49,879
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, sixteen, twenty twenty ten, twenty twenty one, sixteen,

1557
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, four, twenty twenty three.

1558
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 2: Five.

1559
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 5: Wow, And there's a lot of single digits in there.

1560
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,719
Speaker 5: You had a couple sixteens, but I mean that four

1561
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 5: five sixty sixteens. Yeah, that's crazy.

1562
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sixteens and three single digits.

1563
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: That's the big thing. We can You can put whoever

1564
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: you want in.

1565
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 4: We just talked earlier about coaching and GM combo and

1566
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 4: how important that is. There is, as we all know,

1567
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 4: the most important thing in an NFL season is can

1568
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 4: you stay healthy? And the answer to that for the

1569
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 4: Chargers as an organization has been flat out no for

1570
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 4: so stinking long.

1571
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to even make sense of it.

1572
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 4: Truly, it is hard to make sense of the level

1573
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 4: of how is this happening that they have dealt with

1574
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 4: year in and year out that I just I can't,

1575
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 4: I can't comprehend it at all.

1576
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 5: And who do you blame for that? Is that the

1577
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 5: training staff's fault that guys have all these injuries? Of course,

1578
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 5: now that's a rhetorical question, it's not. But I mean,

1579
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 5: I've heard, you know, fans certainly say that whenever they

1580
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 5: are teams that are here with rational injuries. So clearly

1581
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 5: the way their training staff is working them out is

1582
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 5: it's like, I don't think that's how that works. No,

1583
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 5: that's not how that works.

1584
01:10:58,640 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 2: It's called bad luck.

1585
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 5: Yes, it's just bad luck.

1586
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 9: Bad you know, you can't explain it's this seems to

1587
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 9: be like the theme today, and like, look y'all, we

1588
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 9: don't sit down and come up with the theme.

1589
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 4: But the more that we're talking, the more it just

1590
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 4: becomes so clear to me that the hardest part for

1591
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 4: us to accept as fans is that winning in sports

1592
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 4: is as much about being good as it is about

1593
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 4: just flat out being lucky, you know. And that's just

1594
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 4: hard for everybody in the process to stomach, because if

1595
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 4: we're being real, you don't want to sit there and

1596
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,799
Speaker 4: think that winning in the NFL is like playing roulette.

1597
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 1: But it kind of is.

1598
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,719
Speaker 4: And sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, and sometimes

1599
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 4: it's all about just whether or not you were lucky

1600
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 4: or unlucky, and that stinks, but that's real.

1601
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 5: So people don't like to grasp all into that because

1602
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 5: it's not it's too random for them. It's like, well,

1603
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 5: there has to be like this team built this way,

1604
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 5: this philosophy works, and they win and this is how

1605
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 5: this is the blueprint to win a championship when they're

1606
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 5: really he is no full on blueprint to be able

1607
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 5: to do it. Like you said, it's all about luck.

1608
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 5: It's all about being able to stay healthy. But fans,

1609
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 5: you can't predict that sort of thing, so they want

1610
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 5: to fall onto something that because that's become more easily predictable,

1611
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 5: more easily knowable. Well, I know, if this team builds

1612
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 5: a strong offensive and defensive line and whatever, whatever you

1613
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 5: try to convince yourself is the way to do it.

1614
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:22,719
Speaker 5: And see, and this is why this team always wins.

1615
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,440
Speaker 5: It was like, well, I'm sure that has the philosophy

1616
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 5: has a lot to do with why they're always in it,

1617
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 5: but ultimately, when it comes down to whether they win

1618
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 5: or not, most of it has a lot of it

1619
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 5: has to do with not what they have on the

1620
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 5: field from a schematic standpoint, and more just some of

1621
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 5: the existential things that you just can't control, whether or

1622
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 5: not a guy's feeling well on that particular day, whether

1623
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 5: or not one of your key players is hurt, whether

1624
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 5: you're on your third or four stream quarterback, like the

1625
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 5: forty nine ers were a couple of years ago in

1626
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 5: Philadelphia who didn't have a lot of experience. There's just

1627
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 5: so many things that to factor in that fans just

1628
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 5: and I keep it like we're still attacking the fans.

1629
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 5: Media people do it a lot too. Yeah, we do

1630
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 5: it more than anybody, to be honest with you, because

1631
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 5: we have to stuff to talk about, and so it's

1632
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 5: just it's unfair to everybody in the process.

1633
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 2: I mean you said it earlier, like the first take thing.

1634
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, that's what it is, a thousand percent

1635
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 5: and then a lot of fans will consume that and

1636
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,560
Speaker 5: then take that narrative and game keep writing.

1637
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 3: It all right, let's go arrow op afc arrow op FITSI.

1638
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 4: Uh so, I'm gonna actually disagree with something Figgy say

1639
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 4: because I'll put the arrow up on the Titans. Will

1640
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 4: Levis came in and played pretty well in his limited time,

1641
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 4: and I think right now that's the biggest incomplete we

1642
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 4: don't know for the Titans is Will Levis the actual

1643
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 4: quarterback of the future, so look good in his first

1644
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 4: preseason games. I'll give an arrow up to the Titans.

1645
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 4: I give an arrow up to the Bengals just because

1646
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 4: you know, watching Joe Burrow Cook made me feel good.

1647
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Ye, Like, there's just.

1648
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 4: A level of that that was like whoa, And you

1649
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,560
Speaker 4: know what, while we're at it, I mean, I was

1650
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 4: sitting out for nothing. I'm sitting at the Resorts World

1651
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 4: in Vegas getting ready to play. I got my feet

1652
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 4: up there watching my beloved Raiders. Aidan O'Connell came in,

1653
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 4: Look pretty good, Gardner Minshew came in, look pretty good.

1654
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 4: I know those defenses weren't anything, but come on, the

1655
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 4: Raiders starters look.

1656
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: Better than I expected. Arrow up on my beloved Raiders.

1657
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 1: Wow for two more weeks?

1658
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 2: Wow? All right?

1659
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I'm gonna second this summer. Yeah, exactly,

1660
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 5: Well I'm going to second two of those now. Granted

1661
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 5: to your point, Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell, who, by

1662
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 5: the way, were just looking terrible in practice all the

1663
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 5: way up until the preseason game when they play against

1664
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 5: the Vikings, who were, as you mentioned, are playing the

1665
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 5: most vanilla of defenses. So how much you and glean

1666
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 5: for that, I'm not one hundred percent sure, but kudos

1667
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 5: to them. They made the plays, so I'll give the

1668
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 5: arrow up to them. Also, it's encouraging to see a

1669
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 5: great player like Joe Burrow come out and perform the

1670
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 5: way that he performed, you know, someone I think for

1671
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 5: someone coming off of an injury like that, playing in

1672
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 5: the preseason, I believe is actually important to get out there,

1673
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 5: to work up a little bit of a sweat and

1674
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 5: maybe even get hit a couple of times, you know,

1675
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 5: just to get yourself your body back right and comfortable

1676
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 5: in a real time playing environment. And he was able

1677
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 5: to do that and looked really good in the process.

1678
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 5: A third team in the NFC. I don't know if

1679
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 5: anybody else really jumped out to me, to be honest

1680
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 5: with you, I thought Treyl Lawrence looked a little bit,

1681
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 5: looks solid for that means, and I think this is

1682
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 5: a big year for him and Doug Peterson and Jack Hues.

1683
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 3: If you're huge, listen, Doug's a hot seat guy. Yeah,

1684
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 3: I mean they have to, uh jets.

1685
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 2: I hear a lot of.

1686
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 5: New York, don't you well, I will say, don't you

1687
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 5: always this time of year?

1688
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean you know, I mean, listen, the guy, he's

1689
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 3: healthy now, the guy looks good.

1690
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 4: I mean, like I just I will die on this

1691
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 4: hill all by myself. I'll climb all the way up

1692
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 4: to the top of Mount Mount Everest, and I will

1693
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 4: plant two flags. One will have Kirk Cousin's face on it,

1694
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 4: one will have Aaron Rodgers face on it, and the

1695
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 4: flags will be the same. To me, if quarterback is

1696
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 4: older than Moses, I don't want him out there playing

1697
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 4: quarterback with the bat achilles. I just three seven and

1698
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 4: forty two year old. Quarterback with a bad achilles is

1699
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 4: not what I'm going to bank my entire season on.

1700
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 4: So I am comfortable banking against the Jets and against

1701
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 4: the Falcons with their quarterback situation for now, because I

1702
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 4: will tell yeah, I will take the approach that I

1703
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 4: do not trust there.

1704
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 2: They are repaired achilles. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, all right,

1705
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 2: well let me take it to you. Let's take a

1706
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 2: time out.

1707
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 3: We'll come back with FITZI on Mount Everest, where the

1708
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,280

1715
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm because as we hang out from the Tyraq dot

1716
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,560
Speaker 3: Com studios. All right, let me throw a couple of

1717
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 3: teams at you. You guys, poo poo the Jets. No

1718
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 3: believers in the Jets fits. He's in the Himalayas. He's

1719
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 3: still the top looking down. No Rogers, no, no, tired

1720
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 3: of it. You don't even want to entertain the fact

1721
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 3: that the Jets might be the best team in the

1722
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 3: AFC East.

1723
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 2: No.

1724
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 4: Look, I think even if Aaron Rodgers plays lights out

1725
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 4: there probably like the death of the Bills that gets

1726
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 4: reported every year, I'm waiting for it to actually happen

1727
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 4: before I actually start joining that bandwagon every year. This

1728
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 4: time the Bills taking a step back, and it's like, okay.

1729
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 3: Especially out they got a running game. Man that cook

1730
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 3: is is a beast in Miami.

1731
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 5: Is not great, but they're certainly not going anywhere so

1732
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 5: EI they're just some walk over either.

1733
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 3: I know with those receivers, well, Jets, the Jets are

1734
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 3: going to be pretty good.

1735
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're gonna be great. And if

1736
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers.

1737
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 3: It's funny, Baldy was all a battlem Baldy guns, Dude,

1738
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:14,560
Speaker 3: they overtake.

1739
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 2: He's got him coming out of the eat within the

1740
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 2: AC East.

1741
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 5: And that's what can we not before we get off

1742
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 5: the jets and just talk about this year and neeptitude

1743
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 5: when it comes to the son Reddick situation and how

1744
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 5: you allow that to happen. How you can trade for

1745
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 5: someone knowing he wants a new contract and just put

1746
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 5: it on the back burner and not address it and

1747
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 5: just assume everything's going to be fine, and now all

1748
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 5: of a sudden you find yourself in this giant mess.

1749
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 4: Yes, like they need to change the policy and allow

1750
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 4: well or maybe they maybe they can. I guess, I

1751
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 4: guess they could have waited to announce the trade until

1752
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 4: they actually had the deal in places I think about it,

1753
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 4: That's what the Raiders did with Davante.

1754
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 5: Right, like, oh yeah, you can do that, absolutely.

1755
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1756
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 4: They the fact that they didn't have the deal signed.

1757
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,559
Speaker 4: I think this is going to give every team that

1758
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 4: ever trades for somebody in the contracts dispute a little

1759
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 4: bit of hesitation, like we gotta get it signed first

1760
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 4: before we do an it.

1761
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't want to know going into it.

1762
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 5: Before you even doing you knew that the part of

1763
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 5: the reason he was wanted out of Philadelphia, or that

1764
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 5: Philadelphia wasn't going to work because they knew they weren't

1765
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 5: gonna pay him. So if that's gonna be an issue

1766
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 5: in Philly, why would it not be an issue with

1767
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 5: the Jets? And why don't you hammer that out before

1768
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 5: you trade for him?

1769
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,719
Speaker 4: Well, the Jets had made it sound like they felt

1770
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 4: like they had an understanding in place. I mean they've

1771
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 4: they've sort of made it sound like, hey, we thought

1772
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 4: that we were on the same page when we traded

1773
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 4: for him.

1774
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 1: And how do you think that You got to know?

1775
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 5: Right, that's the thing that sounds that's c ya at

1776
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 5: the last minute, after it's all you know, everything's already

1777
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 5: hit the fan, is what it sounds like to me.

1778
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I don't know how true

1779
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 2: that is.

1780
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. I don't think it is, to be

1781
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 5: honest with you.

1782
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean I've been followed that pretty closely.

1783
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, his.

1784
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 3: Son son is never punching man, like give him the contract,

1785
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 3: like uh. And I know his son, Reddick and son's

1786
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 3: a temple guy and I know him well and he

1787
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 3: wants to play, but he's not a play unless he

1788
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 3: gets his deal that he wants. So if he was

1789
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 3: close to a deal, I got to believe that knowing

1790
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 3: of them that he would be he would have been

1791
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 3: chopping at the bit to go.

1792
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, just next level in aptitude is just it really is,

1793
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 5: is what it looks like to me.

1794
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 2: Well, I know, no, I know, I feel you guys,

1795
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,839
Speaker 2: Uh Texans arrow up.

1796
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll go ahead, yeah, but for sure, yeah, for sure.

1797
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, I think the era was already really high

1798
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: on them, but yeah, I'll take arrow.

1799
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Up on Texans even more so.

1800
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 5: I mean I just think they look well, look at

1801
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 5: all they've added in the off season, on top of

1802
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 5: the fact that the great year they had last year.

1803
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 5: They're the team that you look at and you say, well,

1804
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 5: obviously they're gonna, you know, take a jump forward. There's

1805
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 5: no reason for me to think that they won't. But

1806
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 5: you just see all the time and situations like this,

1807
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 5: the team comes out of nowhere, plays well, even make

1808
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 5: some improvements in the off season, and for whatever reason,

1809
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 5: it's a bit of a struggle, maybe because you're not

1810
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 5: sneaking up on people anymore. I don't know. I'm not

1811
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 5: saying Houston won't be good and they won't you know,

1812
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 5: content for the division again and won't make a playoffs.

1813
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 5: I just for people thinking they're going to make this

1814
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 5: ginormous leap and win fourteen games. I just don't know

1815
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 5: if it's going to be that big of a leap.

1816
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: For it is all a year ago right now.

1817
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 4: If we had told Texans fans that this year they

1818
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 4: would win nine games, they would have freaked out been like,

1819
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 4: oh my god.

1820
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe that.

1821
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 4: Right If you tell Texans fans today, yeah, it might

1822
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 4: be a nine win team, they would lose their minds.

1823
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 4: Like the expectation on the Texans is double digit wins

1824
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 4: and you know, in the same class as the Chiefs

1825
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 4: and the Bengals and the Bills and the Ravens, And

1826
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 4: I like, it'll be interesting because they they certainly could be.

1827
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 4: But also figure, you're right, like it's one year, so

1828
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 4: a little more proof of concept is not the worst

1829
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 4: thing to ask for.

1830
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 2: No, no colts, I've spelling.

1831
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 5: Quite true. I got this guy wait and see situation

1832
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 5: for me to hear some good things about the cults.

1833
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 10: Now.

1834
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 5: I don't dis like them, but yeah, I don't know

1835
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 5: if I can quite say arrow up right now.

1836
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, you know it's funny sometimes you

1837
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 3: know there's guys because you guys just also do a

1838
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 3: lot of reporting and everything you hear things, you go

1839
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 3: all right, oh yeah, from people you trust, I get

1840
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,840

1861
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,440
Speaker 3: just want to put a bed and put a boat.

1862
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 2: On the Olympics.

1863
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 3: And it was funny we play snippets and I love

1864
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 3: with Dan Patrick said.

1865
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 2: I had the same kind.

1866
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 3: Of vibe watching the gold medal last weekend and watching Lebron, Steph.

1867
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 2: And k D on the floor at the same time.

1868
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 3: I was just you know, enjoying, savoring that moment of

1869
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 3: those great players together and watching Steph, who's just incredible, just.

1870
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 2: Just an amazing uh, just an amazing talent.

1871
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 3: I mean when you watch him get hot, he start cooking,

1872
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 3: and then you realize, oh my god, it's Lebron and

1873
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 3: k DEAL on the floor.

1874
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was a pretty cool moment.

1875
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it wasn't lost to me the amount of

1876
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 4: times it felt like that team was struggling to pull

1877
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 4: away and then at the end they just reminded you

1878
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 4: how great they can be, you know, And that's you

1879
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 4: just have.

1880
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,560
Speaker 1: To appreciate a special era of basketball.

1881
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 4: Like you know, it's so so funny to me that

1882
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 4: we get so busy every single time comparing this team

1883
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 4: to the Dream Team and all of these things, and

1884
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 4: that to me is just it's it's pointless, like what

1885
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 4: we should be doing is just appreciating the fact that

1886
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 4: this is generational talent.

1887
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna sit there right now.

1888
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 4: We sit there and say, well, which team was better,

1889
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 4: But you know you're gonna sit there with your grand

1890
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 4: kids someday and say, yeah, but I watched those guys

1891
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 4: play together on the Olympic teams and it was incredible.

1892
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 4: You know, we sit here and talk all the time

1893
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 4: about what, you know, the All Star Game weekend needs

1894
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 4: to look like and why it's a failed product, and

1895
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 4: then you watch the Olympics and you realize that when

1896
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 4: you see the best of the best playing like they

1897
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 4: give a damn man, it just hits different, you know,

1898
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 4: and that level of energy is just so different. Kudos

1899
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 4: to the rest of the world for catching up, but

1900
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 4: kudos to those guys for.

1901
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: Coming out and playing the way they did.

1902
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, fake, I look at it and go and

1903
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 3: I love what with Fitz He just said, I love it.

1904
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 3: I mean to me to drink Team Dispecial. It's onto

1905
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 3: its own. There's nothing like it. There's never going to

1906
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 3: be anything like it. They were the greatest collection at

1907
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 3: that moment, and you had the greatest player ever in Jordan.

1908
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 2: So we'll just leave that.

1909
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 5: B Yeah, and I'll also say they didn't I mean,

1910
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 5: no disrespect to them, the level of talent they played

1911
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 5: against something in the world to say not the world's

1912
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 5: not no where to compare it to words been the.

1913
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 3: Last not like you watch you watch Look, you watched

1914
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 3: Serbia play.

1915
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean they're good.

1916
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 5: Oh they were working over the US. Serious, Steph Curry

1917
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 5: kept him in it by himself, and then of course

1918
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 5: they had the surge in the fourth quarter. But I

1919
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 5: mean it was unreal. I mean it was surgical the

1920
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 5: way they were they were carving up and these are

1921
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 5: some of the best athletes in the world. There again

1922
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,600
Speaker 5: a w excuse me an NBA Allstar our team. It

1923
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 5: was insane.

1924
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 3: They don't forget Joel either, because Joel helped neutralize.

1925
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he was huge, he was huge.

1926
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 2: Uh but no, but you're you're spot on, man.

1927
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 3: The Euro game is great, Like it's just a great game,

1928
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:17,440
Speaker 3: and they.

1929
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 2: Have caught up, and you know, it's just it's what

1930
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 2: it is. It's it's great.

1931
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 3: We gave basketball, it's our gift to the world, and

1932
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 3: the world's embraced it. So you know, that's that's what

1933
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 3: it was. I just enjoyed that moment and it's such

1934
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 3: a big way.

1935
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 5: And I enjoyed the fact that look for disclosure, and

1936
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a shock to anyone. I want

1937
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 5: the United States to win, obviously, but I enjoyed that

1938
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 5: the games were competitive, you know, the fact that they

1939
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 5: weren't running teams off of the floor by forty points,

1940
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 5: you know. And I do think that's a big reason

1941
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 5: why there was a giant surge in the ratings. You know,

1942
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 5: the Serbia game was was solid, and then the gold

1943
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 5: medal game was through the roof. And I think that's

1944
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 5: because they saw the United States struggle against Serbia, so

1945
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 5: people were intrigued to see, oh, maybe maybe we'll have

1946
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 5: something here ba. Yeah, maybe they won't lose by you know,

1947
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 5: they won't win by thirty five, you know. I just

1948
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 5: it was It's entertaining to watch, even with Steph Curry

1949
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 5: going off from the fourth quarter. I mean that game

1950
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 5: was in doubt up until the final fifteen to twenty seconds,

1951
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 5: you know, against France, which is which is healthy for

1952
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 5: the sport, you know, it's healthy for the Olympics.

1953
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Overall.

1954
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 5: I enjoyed every second of it, and I think the

1955
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 5: more and more the world can be more competitive. I

1956
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 5: think the greater it is because I think it challenges

1957
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 5: the United States to be better too. Well, we've gone

1958
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 5: over the days where we can just throw a collect

1959
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 5: hodgepodge of talent together and talent our ways to win,

1960
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 5: because even when we do have guys who come together

1961
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 5: a couple of months in advance and work out, you're

1962
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 5: still on the verge of potentially losing to a team

1963
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 5: like Serbia. You're still you know, nip and tuck against

1964
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 5: a team like France in the gold medal game. And

1965
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:43,720
Speaker 5: I think that's good. I think that's a good thing.

1966
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, spot on. Hey, a couple of the things

1967
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 2: that have come up.

1968
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 3: Then I want to get your your guys opinion on

1969
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 3: before we go back to the arrows and then do

1970
01:27:54,080 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 3: the Insta schedule. The average judge kately Klaw, who's bigger?

1971
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 3: It's funny, my man, Eddie Webster says to me, you

1972
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 3: got to test that guy.

1973
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 2: Is he human or is he machine? And he's just ridiculous.

1974
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 3: Is Caitlyn Clark right now bigger than iron Judge?

1975
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: The answer to that is quickly yes, it's not even close.

1976
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 2: Such a baseball hater.

1977
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no, here's what I just one of the buses.

1978
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 4: Stones Now this is this is the easiest answer to

1979
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 4: this to me is who's more likely to be asked

1980
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 4: to host Saturday Night Live this fall? Aaron Judge or

1981
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 4: Kitlyn Clark. I think we all know the answer to that,

1982
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 4: which is why.

1983
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 3: It's you're not wrong. I hate you, know, you know,

1984
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you. It kills me, it wounds me.

1985
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 3: But you're not wrong. I don't want to say right,

1986
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 3: but you're not wrong.

1987
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 5: Think of where we are now that the best player

1988
01:28:55,439 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 5: on the most iconic franchise is right now, who's a month.

1989
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 3: Is like like like our listener Eddie Webster says he is,

1990
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 3: She like he is six eight like to seventy muscle.

1991
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 5: He's gonna hit over fifty home runs again this year.

1992
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 3: No, I mean, Kiddedy's a cartoon character, really is, You've

1993
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:20,520
Speaker 3: never had anything like it? And he plays for the Yankees.

1994
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 3: He plays for the freaking Yankees, and he's not bigger.

1995
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 3: To Kateley Clark, he's not.

1996
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 5: No, I hear it. I don't think it's even close,

1997
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,520
Speaker 5: and says she has just off the radar that baseball

1998
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 5: is from a national scale. It really is.

1999
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 3: But she she tapped into pop culture, right, so she

2000
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 3: taps into the ethos. It's not to say that, you know,

2001
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 3: the w NBA is bigger than baseball.

2002
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 5: No, but she's bigger than She's bigger than the WNBA,

2003
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 5: which is again why she should have made the Olympic team.

2004
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 5: But that's a different debate for a different day, you know.

2005
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 5: Like the point, I mean, the point being, she is

2006
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 5: as an individual phenomenon and pump and pumps up anything

2007
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 5: and everything that she touches. Right, the fact that she

2008
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 5: went to the Yankee game. I look, there were gonna

2009
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:09,799
Speaker 5: be eyeballs on the yank the Yankees are the Yankees,

2010
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 5: but I mean there's extra eyeballs because Kaitlyn Clark was

2011
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 5: there and was interviewed during the game and in the

2012
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 5: booth and like that turned into a phenomenon in and

2013
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 5: of itself, despite the fact that the Yankees themselves have

2014
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 5: one of the best players in the league and have

2015
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 5: the best record I think in the league right now,

2016
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:25,639
Speaker 5: and yet they're not top They don't get top Billy.

2017
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 5: It's not the fact that it's the Yankees, it's Kaylyn

2018
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:28,839
Speaker 5: Clark is going to see the Yankees.

2019
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 3: That was the headline. I know, it's like Taylor Swift

2020
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 3: going to see the Yankees, right.

2021
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 5: No doubt.

2022
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2023
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 4: And by the way, you know, we can we can

2024
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 4: have a debate all day long about whether or not

2025
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift is the best singer or the best entertainer

2026
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 4: or the and it doesn't matter.

2027
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: She's the best.

2028
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,879
Speaker 4: Celebrity, Like there's no doubt about it, and like there's

2029
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 4: just both.

2030
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 2: The most popular in pop culture. She is the queen.

2031
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 5: I mean, no debates can debate.

2032
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and at this point I would say that Caitlyn

2033
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 4: Clark is the queen of sports. Like I'm not sure

2034
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 4: there are many people in all of she bigger than

2035
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 4: my Homes. She's I would say, she's right now.

2036
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,679
Speaker 5: Right now, yeah, right at this very second. Because also

2037
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 5: considered the fact that you know, Mahomes has.

2038
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,440
Speaker 3: Had time too as big as Whomes.

2039
01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 5: Malmes has also been because the nature of football has

2040
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 5: been to a certain degree off the radar for the

2041
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 5: last four months. I mean, Kaylyn right around the time

2042
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 5: Kaylyn Clark's a sent and began to the point where

2043
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 5: it is now. I mean she was big last year obviously,

2044
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 5: but I mean right after football season ended, is right

2045
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 5: when March started rolling around and we're talking to start

2046
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,519
Speaker 5: talking March madness with college basketball, and that's when her

2047
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 5: profile from a national standpoint really picked up even more,

2048
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 5: or I should say really as she was closing in

2049
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:45,639
Speaker 5: on Pistol Pete's all time scoring record, which rolled into March,

2050
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 5: So her star was ascending right as Patrick Mahomes was

2051
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 5: riding off until the sunset with a Super Bowl trophy

2052
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:53,479
Speaker 5: and kind of disappearing for a little bit.

2053
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 4: I also think there's an element of, like Mahomes being

2054
01:31:57,240 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 4: you know, one of, if not the greatest quarterbacks of

2055
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 4: all time, comes right on the heels of just having

2056
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 4: seen Brady do these things. For Caitlyn Clark, this hits

2057
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 4: different because it's the first person that has crossed over

2058
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 4: this way, and crossover not an accidental like term here

2059
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 4: for me, like as we've talked this morning about some

2060
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 4: of the music background for me, like one of the

2061
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 4: things in country music, you know, it's not uncommon for

2062
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 4: people to turn around and say the Ban Perry, for example,

2063
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 4: was a one hit wonder because if five I Young

2064
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 4: crossed over and was a big hit, I was a

2065
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 4: part of that, right, Like I lived that. But the

2066
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 4: funny thing is the band itself had five or six

2067
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 4: number ones in country music. Nobody paid attention to that.

2068
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 4: It's just that the one song crossed over, and that's

2069
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,640
Speaker 4: what Caitlin Clark is doing. She's crossed over outside of

2070
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 4: just her normal audience. So it hits this whole different

2071
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 4: level in a whole different way. So I think part

2072
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 4: of this with Mahomes is that Mahomes and Andy Reid

2073
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 4: get the immediate Belichick Brady comparison.

2074
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: There is no comparison for.

2075
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 4: What's happened in pop culture around a w NBA superstar

2076
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 4: the way that we're seeing with Kaitlin Clark.

2077
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 3: It's just it's so let's let's do that. Let's examine

2078
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 3: this for a second, because this is interesting. So Mighty Mark,

2079
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 3: our fine producer, says, Kitly Clark is like a summer

2080
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:10,120
Speaker 3: hit record.

2081
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 2: To your point, Fitzie.

2082
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,719
Speaker 3: Now there's a difference between a like a big hit.

2083
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 2: That Peter's out. Will her star always be?

2084
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 5: I think if she doesn't win, I think it's gonna fade.

2085
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna last longer than a literal summer,

2086
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 5: you know, because especially there was a lot there was

2087
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:37,439
Speaker 5: not a lot of expectation for a team at the

2088
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 5: very least with her coming in. I mean, as evidenced

2089
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 5: by the fact that they have the top overall thing. Real,

2090
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 5: I mean, she has.

2091
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 3: To be respect I couldn't tell you the champions.

2092
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 5: And no, but I mean the fever can't win seven

2093
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:56,559
Speaker 5: games a year even if she's playing solidly. She she

2094
01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 5: will do nine last night, like yeah, the lead.

2095
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 4: Right now on ESPN dot com, as I just pulled

2096
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 4: it up, the top story Caitlin Clark shines in first

2097
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 4: game post Olympic break and the top scory is you know,

2098
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,679
Speaker 4: clark Store's twenty nine fever inch closer to playoff spot.

2099
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 5: That's what you mean right there?

2100
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah all, and we've we've now embraced this whole like, well,

2101
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 4: the fever is so bad and look at this, she's

2102
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 4: doing this all by herself, Like right, So will it

2103
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 4: Will it sustain? I don't, I don't know. I think

2104
01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 4: eventually it has to lead to dominance and championships. But

2105
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 4: there was a real question would it sustain from college

2106
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,640
Speaker 4: to the W And the answer to that has been absolutely,

2107
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 4: My god, you know, so now will it sustain year

2108
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 4: one to year two in the W? Is the W

2109
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:41,960
Speaker 4: season long enough and are people passionate enough about it?

2110
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 4: The one thing I'd say is that like this year,

2111
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,760
Speaker 4: it even survived an Olympic break. This is we're just

2112
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 4: back from the Olympic break and all of a sudden,

2113
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 4: we're right back to Caitlyn fever.

2114
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 2: All right.

2115
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll ask you this. There's the next question

2116
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 3: about the funny. I you know you you hit me

2117
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 3: with the W. Right, I guess that's that's the catch

2118
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:02,640
Speaker 3: for it.

2119
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, definitely right.

2120
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 3: So I feel sometimes sometimes I'm so out of loop

2121
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 3: with my own world that, you know, if I'm not

2122
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:15,679
Speaker 3: as passionate about something, I'm like, I shut it off

2123
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 3: because I have no bandwidth.

2124
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 2: Right, you got no bandwidth?

2125
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 9: Right?

2126
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 2: How much bandwidth? The can? You can?

2127
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 5: You have?

2128
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 3: And if you you know, I got a family and

2129
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 3: everything else and I got the other sports that I cover.

2130
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 3: So all right, so I'll ask you this, are we

2131
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 3: obsessed with the W in two weeks? Like when when

2132
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:41,839
Speaker 3: it's college football weekend, Labor Day weekend?

2133
01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 2: Is the WU going to get top billing?

2134
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 5: No top billing?

2135
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:47,120
Speaker 3: No?

2136
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 5: Well, it still gets some billing, or more than it

2137
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 5: probably would.

2138
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,240
Speaker 2: Is it? A? But here you go.

2139
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:59,800
Speaker 3: Like you guys remember newspapers, right, so your story all

2140
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 3: for sure?

2141
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Right your store? I used to work for them.

2142
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 3: That's where I can's would spawned my career, right so, uh,

2143
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 3: it's something called above the fold, right so on on

2144
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 3: an LA times that would that would fold up like

2145
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 3: that if you were above the fold, that was a

2146
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 3: big story. Uh, are the is the double once college

2147
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 3: football starts? It's not above the fold? Is it below

2148
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 3: the fold? Or is it page two?

2149
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,720
Speaker 4: It's right on the line of the fold. It's like

2150
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 4: right below it's below the fold. But not by much

2151
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 4: for Caitlin, Yeah, I mean it's passively because ESPN and

2152
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 4: a broadcast partners.

2153
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're gonna pump up their own property too.

2154
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 2: In general, forget about the.

2155
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 4: No but like no, But what I'm saying is that

2156
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 4: it's not even in general like because I get what

2157
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,759
Speaker 4: you're saying. But what I'm saying is that when ESPN

2158
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 4: gets to the w n b A playoffs, they're going

2159
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 4: to make sure that it is part of the consciousness, which,

2160
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 4: by default, because they can control the narrative of what

2161
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 4: we're interested in, is going to create a level of

2162
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 4: interest that if they didn't have broadcast rights to it,

2163
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 4: they simply wouldn't.

2164
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,519
Speaker 3: So while that, I think it's fascinating. When did the playoffs?

2165
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 3: When did the playoffs begin?

2166
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 5: I am not believe the regular season I'm looking ends

2167
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 5: on October twentieth.

2168
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:19,839
Speaker 1: I believe late October.

2169
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 5: I thought, yeah, okay, so I think that's because of

2170
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,800
Speaker 5: the Olympic break, so what extended out their season so October?

2171
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 2: So were you telling me that it is going to

2172
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 2: be interesting right, like, I don't know.

2173
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll uh, you know, it is what it is,

2174
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 3: and I'll have to eat crow whatever you're saying. It'll

2175
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:45,560
Speaker 3: be NFL college football, the full teeth of it, and baseball.

2176
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 5: Baseball postseason at that point.

2177
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god. I mean you're talking to the

2178
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 2: teeth of the.

2179
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 3: NLCS ALCS, the start of NBA and hockey.

2180
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 4: If Caitlin Clark is in the playoffs and the WNBA

2181
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 4: w nb A will get more attention than the NLCS

2182
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 4: and the A l c S nationally.

2183
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 1: Yes, I believe that.

2184
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 5: I think this and the start of the NBA and

2185
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 5: the NHL playoffs as well regular season.

2186
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 4: Excuse me, yeah, I mean the start of the the

2187
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 4: start of the the marathon of the NBA in the NHL.

2188
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:21,640
Speaker 3: So you're telling me also broadcast part tell me. You

2189
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 3: just gotta tell me, like you can tell me that

2190
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:30,640
Speaker 3: water cooler chalk will be Katelee Clark playoff run or uh,

2191
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:31,560
Speaker 3: and people.

2192
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 2: Will watch it like they will watch a full game.

2193
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 5: Well, I would say it also depends on how she's performing.

2194
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 5: If she's playing. First of all, all of this is mood.

2195
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 5: If the Fever donate the playoffs and it's just yeah, Well,

2196
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 5: if they're playing and she's dropping thirty a night and

2197
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 5: drops a you know, drops a fifty burger or something

2198
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 5: like that, that's getting It might not get top billing,

2199
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 5: but it's certainly going to be you know, you know,

2200
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 5: use industry to use an industry term. No, it's telling

2201
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 5: you in a world. If it's in a world in

2202
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 5: college football, or she does something that significant, I guarantee

2203
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 5: you because I'm telling you, yeah, nice.

2204
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: Look.

2205
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 4: If we're watching Sports Center on a Wednesday, and Sports

2206
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 4: Center in the morning has given us all the highlights,

2207
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 4: I believe that if Caitlin Clark drops thirty in a

2208
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 4: playoff game for the Fever, the Sports Center will play

2209
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 4: that before they play the AL or NLCS, either either

2210
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 4: one respective. I agree and I don't think they're going

2211
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 4: to put the games on I mean, I don't know

2212
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,479
Speaker 4: the w NBA playoff right, well.

2213
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 1: Put them on Friday Saturday. So they're not going to

2214
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:36,480
Speaker 1: put it on college football.

2215
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 2: On the nf No. I wouldn't do that either, I mean.

2216
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: But they are going to put it on Tuesday, Wed.

2217
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I look, I'm a news person, right so

2218
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 3: the news angle. I mean, you know, I hear you

2219
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 3: figure won the a bloc thing, right, like.

2220
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,440
Speaker 5: Well, especially if it's news and we're talking about transcending

2221
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 5: sports at that point, right, So if.

2222
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 3: It's I mean in fact that she would do this

2223
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,480
Speaker 3: and she gets him in the playoffs, and if she's dominating,

2224
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 3: like you know, I like I got it, like you know,

2225
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,680
Speaker 3: God blessed. That's a great story, sure, and it is.

2226
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 3: It's just so interesting that you know, ESPN, I get

2227
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:17,640
Speaker 3: would would do that. But a l CS NLCS is it?

2228
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 3: That is it that has it fallen that much naturally?

2229
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 3: Like in like if it's in LA, it's it's the

2230
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:27,719
Speaker 3: top story over the RAM.

2231
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 5: I think in those in those particular regions where those

2232
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 5: series are being played, then I think those are going

2233
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 5: to give the top billing regardless of what's going on

2234
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 5: right well.

2235
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,599
Speaker 4: The Dodgers. The Dodgers being in the playoffs is not

2236
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 4: going to be historic. Caitlin Clark's first foray into the

2237
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 4: w NBA playoffs will be And that's just perspective, Yes,

2238
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:50,719
Speaker 4: from a national step in perspective, She's gonna have history

2239
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:52,839
Speaker 4: on her side and people are gonna people like watching

2240
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 4: the first you know, it's like, like we've said before

2241
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,880
Speaker 4: with the NBA, look at how we paid attention to

2242
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 4: the first season that Russ averaged toub double. It was

2243
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 4: a story every day, and then the next year we're like,

2244
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 4: because he did it again.

2245
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 5: It's like and all of a.

2246
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 4: Sudden, it was like, well, I don't know who else

2247
01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 4: is overrated? Like it's crazy how that happens.

2248
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's so fascinating.

2249
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 3: Uh does baseball And it's interesting because Renalf the bet

2250
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 3: FITSI and look I hear you.

2251
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 2: Diminishes no way, Uh the.

2252
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 3: Standing of baseball nationally would overtake Caitlyn Clark mighty marks

2253
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 3: on the text board telling me that Arad Judge failed

2254
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 3: to save baseball. Thus he's relegated to just faces in

2255
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:42,759
Speaker 3: the crowd.

2256
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 5: I guess what more does you want him to do too.

2257
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 3: He's like.

2258
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 2: Like, what, Like, what does he need to do? Is right?

2259
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 2: So let's discuss that a little bit.

2260
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 3: And then I want to get to that we can

2261
01:41:56,840 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 3: do the NFC and then, uh, it's the schedule, so

2262
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 3: I want to pick teams I don't want to go

2263
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:05,839

Speaker 3: watching you know, college football NFL? She's like, I watch

2307
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:36,719
Speaker 3: the football And it wasn't even a second Then I go, well,

2308
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 3: how about baseball? I'm watching baseball to watch that? And

2309
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 3: it would you say, Breek? I said, do you watch

2310
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 3: a w B A?

2311
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:46,680
Speaker 5: And you said what, No, I and I never have.

2312
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, I mean I will say, like

2313
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 10: Caitlin Clark coming into the league. Now, I'm definitely more

2314
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 10: aware and I pay attention to kind of what's going

2315
01:44:56,320 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 10: on because it's my job, but not because I think,

2316
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 10: you know, I think the product has gotten better, but

2317
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,479
Speaker 10: it's not something that I'm going to go out of

2318
01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:06,799
Speaker 10: my way and watch on a daily basis.

2319
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:11,639
Speaker 4: Well, and by the way, I think, hey, that's a

2320
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 4: fair response by you, and I think it's pretty wild

2321
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 4: how often we decide as a society that because you're

2322
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 4: a woman, that means that you must support Well.

2323
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:26,320
Speaker 3: That was the conversation we were having, right because go ahead,

2324
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 3: breaking well it was.

2325
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 10: It brought up Bill Birthing about how you know, Bilbird

2326
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 10: was saying that you know, a lot of women always

2327
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 10: say like, oh, well, guys don't support like women professional athletes.

2328
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:39,240
Speaker 10: And then he was like, no, no, no, you as

2329
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 10: women don't support women professional athletes. Can you name you

2330
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 10: know three to five WNBA players And they're like, oh no,

2331
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:48,559
Speaker 10: actually you can't, you know, And I'm super I mean,

2332
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:50,640
Speaker 10: I'm not one hundred percent guilty of that, because I

2333
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 10: mean I do, I would pay attention to a little bit,

2334
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 10: but I'm not following up.

2335
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 5: I'm not keeping up. I couldn't tell you.

2336
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 10: I can't separate the divisions of the teams, you know

2337
01:45:58,960 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 10: what I mean.

2338
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,600
Speaker 5: So I'm guilty of that.

2339
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:06,960
Speaker 3: It's just interesting how the world, like what it is

2340
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 3: is the world. If you're a young female basketball player,

2341
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 3: you need an outlet, right, Like the WNBA is the

2342
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 3: greatest thing in the world.

2343
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:21,080
Speaker 2: It's it's it's something.

2344
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 3: To you know, to dream about, right, It's your quest

2345
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 3: and it should exist. It's as interesting about something that's new.

2346
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 2: Right. It really comes down to something that's.

2347
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 3: New on the scene that you go wow, like we

2348
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 3: all know that that that's a noble lead, Like it's

2349
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:47,719
Speaker 3: noble for young women to have a goal, like young

2350
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 3: boys have a goal for the WA for the NBA, right,

2351
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean.

2352
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 1: And I don't disagreet with any of that.

2353
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 4: I just think it is a little funny that we

2354
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 4: automatically put some responsibility on women to support women's sports

2355
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 4: when it's like, you know, like what you like? I

2356
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 4: mean that doesn't you know nobody goes in and says, well,

2357
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 4: women should only like women should all support female singers

2358
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 4: because they're women. Like, that doesn't work that way, Like

2359
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 4: what if you just happen to prefer male singers, Like

2360
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 4: are you only supposed to you're supposed to go see

2361
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 4: every big movie that has a female lead in it

2362
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 4: because you want to women supporting women.

2363
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:22,639
Speaker 1: I just think there is a level.

2364
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 3: Well, but if you're a woman in sports, I disagree

2365
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 3: mildly because if you're a woman in sports, isn't it

2366
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:33,560
Speaker 3: your duty to support WIBA?

2367
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 5: I wouldn't think so. No, no support something that sports. Well,

2368
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,800
Speaker 5: here's why, Because if you're a woman in sports and

2369
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:44,640
Speaker 5: you're striving and.

2370
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 3: Hoping that we know that the w NBA existence is

2371
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 3: important to young women. It's something that it's a cause

2372
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 3: that shouldn't become the could become the reality. Therefore I

2373
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:00,880
Speaker 3: should support it.

2374
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,040
Speaker 5: It's important for young women who are basketball fans and

2375
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 5: thrive to play in the WNBA.

2376
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 3: You're a sports but sports of sports that you have

2377
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 3: to separate sports, like like if you're in music, you don't.

2378
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm with you, guys, like that has nothing to deal

2379
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:17,640
Speaker 3: with it.

2380
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 1: But wait, wait, wait.

2381
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 3: You know how difficult, Like if you're a young baseball player,

2382
01:48:22,680 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 3: Like I know, I did a story on this young

2383
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:30,799
Speaker 3: girl who plays baseball, not softball. She's a terrific baseball player,

2384
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 3: and it would be incumbent on her to support the WNBA,

2385
01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 3: so her dream of a female baseball league would come

2386
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:41,120
Speaker 3: to fruition.

2387
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but okay, so I'll go back to the music

2388
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 4: side because you just said it's different, But this is

2389
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 4: let's take Taylor Swift out of the equation.

2390
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: Because she's not a country artist.

2391
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,680
Speaker 4: For the last fifteen to twenty years, there's been a

2392
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 4: massive movement attempted that it swells and just doesn't work

2393
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 4: to get more women radio play at country music, Like

2394
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 4: the women struggle to get enough radio play to get

2395
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,400
Speaker 4: the recognition that they deserve in country music. So if

2396
01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 4: that's something you're passionate about and you love women that sing,

2397
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 4: then you should absolutely buy records and go see tours

2398
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 4: and make sure that you're requesting those songs at radio

2399
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:14,680
Speaker 4: stations and download all that.

2400
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very real.

2401
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, like, if that's

2402
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 4: just not your thing, do you have an obligation to

2403
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 4: support other women that are musicians just because you're a woman?

2404
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Like, no, I mean at something.

2405
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 2: You're a woman in music, you do.

2406
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 4: See to me, Like, your obligation is to support what

2407
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:32,639
Speaker 4: you love. If you're a woman in sports, then you should.

2408
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 4: You should find the sports that you love and you

2409
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 4: should become as active in them as possible. Now, I

2410
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 4: don't ever want to put somebody in a bubble because

2411
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:41,200
Speaker 4: of their gender or because of where they're from.

2412
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 2: This something, it's not putting anybody in the bubble.

2413
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 5: It's about have to like something they don't even like.

2414
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 2: Well all the time, let me finished for a second.

2415
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 3: It's about supporting something that's a cause that is related

2416
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,640
Speaker 3: to your cause. You're like, I just brought up the

2417
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 3: woman in baseball, right, it's girl I adore, by the way,

2418
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 3: who is a hell of a baseball player. Well you should.

2419
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 3: You should also support the WNBA because it's in relation

2420
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 3: to your passion. It's about breaking a barrier.

2421
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 10: Well, I have a question because I'm what we're talking

2422
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 10: about sports, right, So I think if we're trying to say, like, oh,

2423
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:24,600
Speaker 10: women are trying you want to support the WNBA, I

2424
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 10: think isn't it the kind of like the bigger thing

2425
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 10: of you want to support women to actually accomplishing their

2426
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,479
Speaker 10: goals Like you as a woman, you want to support

2427
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:35,840
Speaker 10: other women accomplishing their goals, like or like if that

2428
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 10: woman baseball player wants to accomplish a goal about doing

2429
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 10: something that you're really passionate about. I mean, I think

2430
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 10: that it's like a little bit more broader than like, oh,

2431
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:45,639
Speaker 10: we just want to like bring.

2432
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 2: Much you got to watch every game?

2433
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:52,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, talking about in generality of supporting it, like being vocal,

2434
01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 3: how using your platform to support it?

2435
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, But like I don't think that every woman that

2436
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:00,719
Speaker 4: works in sports, Like I don't think every NFL sideline

2437
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,799
Speaker 4: reporter or any every TV personality that works in sports

2438
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,400
Speaker 4: suddenly has an obligation to support the w NBA if

2439
01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:08,560
Speaker 4: they don't, like what if you just don't like basketball,

2440
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I just think that has to be

2441
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 4: allowed in this process. Like if you're not a big

2442
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 4: fan of the product, you shouldn't have to be disingenuous

2443
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 4: in supporting something if you're a woman as disingenuous.

2444
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 3: But but if you're a woman, if you can relate

2445
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:26,639
Speaker 3: to breaking a barrier and to helping something exist. I'm

2446
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 3: not saying you've got to be that you got to

2447
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 3: wear the crown of the WI b A every day.

2448
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 12: But but if you're a woman that plays party well

2449
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 12: and you want you want women's baseball to if you

2450
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 12: play flag football, if you play in the women's flag

2451
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 12: football leagues and in one of those leagues in the country,

2452
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 12: I think your.

2453
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 4: Your obligation is to do whatever you can to grow

2454
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,599
Speaker 4: your sport. Is your obligation to turn around and also

2455
01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:51,759
Speaker 4: grow women's golf for the w NBA or women's hockey.

2456
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 3: Say you use your if you could relate to the cause,

2457
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 3: you try to help out any kind of in any

2458
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 3: way you can.

2459
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 5: But don't it necessarily works that way either, you know too,

2460
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean it.

2461
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 3: Doesn't work that way. I'm just talking about. In the end,

2462
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 3: I do figure you have a duty to do certain things.

2463
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:11,800
Speaker 5: And see I think it wouldn't hurt especially if you're

2464
01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 5: someone who has a platform. If you're a Citland Clark

2465
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 5: and you say, you know what these women want to

2466
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,839
Speaker 5: start a baseball league, get behind me and support them.

2467
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 5: I think that more than anything, that's my point. Sure,

2468
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:23,559
Speaker 5: I don't think she has an obligation to do that, though,

2469
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 5: Is that Jim Martin shouldn't follow her shoulders to have

2470
01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 5: to do that.

2471
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying Listen, if the girl reaches out again,

2472
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 3: we're talking to hypotheticals, right, Yeah, of course we are. Yeah,

2473
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 3: that's why, that's why. But if the girl reaches out

2474
01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 3: to Caitlyn Clark and says, hey, Caitlyn, I really need

2475
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 3: to help me get some awareness on are you know

2476
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 3: I'm fourteen years old. I played in an all women's

2477
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,599
Speaker 3: league and we really wanted to We're trying to get,

2478
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 3: you know, baseball, for women to be a to be

2479
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 3: a thing, and we want to play baseball. We don't

2480
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 3: want to play softball. I think it's just it's incumbent

2481
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:01,720
Speaker 3: on Caitlyn to say, Okay, hey, I'll tweet about it

2482
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,800
Speaker 3: or talk about her, or just try to send someone

2483
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:05,759
Speaker 3: awareness your way.

2484
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 4: I think the only thing Caitlin's responsible for is being

2485
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 4: the best basketball player she can be, and whatever else

2486
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 4: happens in her life, well, if she chooses to find

2487
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:17,799
Speaker 4: other hills and other things that she wants to support.

2488
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,520
Speaker 4: That's a beautiful thing, but I don't think there's any obligation.

2489
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:24,960
Speaker 4: I also don't think there's any obligation for the women

2490
01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 4: baseball player to support the w if they just don't

2491
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 4: like the sport. Like I think that I want to

2492
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 4: live and look, this is altruistic, middle aged white tude talking.

2493
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 4: So I'm the first to admit that I want to

2494
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 4: live in a world where like we're sitting here and

2495
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 4: we love all. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't have

2496
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 4: to be clarified whether or not it's women's or men's

2497
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:43,720
Speaker 4: or this or that. Like if you love it, love it,

2498
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 4: and if you watch it, watch it, and like it's

2499
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 4: that simple.

2500
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:46,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be.

2501
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:48,559
Speaker 2: Let me throw something else at you, guys.

2502
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,519
Speaker 3: So because I look at the WNBA, and I can't

2503
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 3: call it the W because I don't know it, right,

2504
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 3: So I don't know the league. I don't watch it,

2505
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 3: I see the headlines. I'm not really that interested in it.

2506
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't have time, right, Like, I just know what

2507
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 3: I have, right, I know what I enjoy. Now I've

2508
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 3: made I was having this conversation with somebody and they

2509
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,680
Speaker 3: were making me feel guilty, and I'm like, listen to

2510
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 3: the Premier League starting.

2511
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:21,719
Speaker 2: Do I like the Premier League?

2512
01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 3: I mean I like, I like Big time soccer, but

2513
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 3: I don't have time to watch the Premier League. I

2514
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,720
Speaker 3: don't have time for another fig. I just like my football,

2515
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:34,160
Speaker 3: all right. I like my baseball. I like my basketball,

2516
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 3: my NBA and some NHL. I don't have time for

2517
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,400
Speaker 3: anything else. I go gag. I hope it does well,

2518
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 3: but don't make me feel guilty for not watching it.

2519
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 5: Nobody should make anyone. Yeah, no, wanhould make anyone feel

2520
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:51,520
Speaker 5: guilty for not liking or supporting their particular sport like that.

2521
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous to me. And I'll say like for all

2522
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 5: of us, we all will have time for things that

2523
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 5: we want to make time for. And if it's not

2524
01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 5: that big enough of a priority on the list, I

2525
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 5: understand it. Because you are with the majority of a

2526
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 5: lot of other people in this country and where they

2527
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:07,919
Speaker 5: have been for the last thirty years since the WNBA

2528
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,320
Speaker 5: has been a sport. That's not an indictment on you. You

2529
01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:12,680
Speaker 5: shouldn't be shamed for that, No more than someone who

2530
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:14,840
Speaker 5: doesn't like football that thinks it's too violent. I think

2531
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 5: that people shouldn't have their rights and not want to

2532
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 5: watch it too, And I.

2533
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 2: Don't begrudge them that. I don't begrudge them that.

2534
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:25,680
Speaker 4: Look, I'm hurried and I'm coming at this from a

2535
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 4: way different standpoint than you guys, only because during my

2536
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:30,840
Speaker 4: time at ESPN, I covered more W than I did

2537
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:34,040
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. I've hosted more W shows, I've talked

2538
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 4: more W than I have Major League Baseball in my.

2539
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: Career for sure.

2540
01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 4: So like, I actually have a lot of I won't

2541
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 4: say love for the product. I have a lot of

2542
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 4: understanding and like of the product, and it's something that

2543
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 4: I've watched a lot of. And I even at that point,

2544
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 4: I don't say that because I want like a Blue

2545
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 4: Ribbon or some For me, it was an obligation that

2546
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,840
Speaker 4: I turned into something that I like doing because it

2547
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 4: was something that we talked about a lot on previous

2548
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 4: shows that I've been involved in, so had to be informed.

2549
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 4: So for me, you know, But I also don't want

2550
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 4: to feel bad that I don't love baseball, and you

2551
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 4: guys have never made me feel bad about that, you know.

2552
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 4: I think that's that speaks back to the world that

2553
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:09,800
Speaker 4: I want to live in you know, I just don't.

2554
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 4: I think we all in the in the pick and

2555
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:14,680
Speaker 4: choose society, there's sports every single day, so pick what

2556
01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:17,160
Speaker 4: you like, support the hell out of it, and then

2557
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 4: if you don't like it. My only thing that I

2558
01:56:19,240 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 4: always say to people is like, if you don't like it,

2559
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:23,160
Speaker 4: you don't watch it. The best thing to do is

2560
01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 4: to shut up and let the people that do like

2561
01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 4: it enjoy it like it doesn't. I don't need to

2562
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 4: go out there planting a flag in the streets saying, oh,

2563
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 4: baseball sucks, just like people don't need to plan a

2564
01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 4: flag in the streets saying WWA sucks.

2565
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: Like I think the moderation on all of those.

2566
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 2: Doccocer thing was a big deal.

2567
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 3: Like, you know, and how about a fig I mean

2568
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 3: you would have I tell you, let's take a quick

2569
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 3: time out and we'll continue it, because the soccer thing

2570
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 3: is relevant in the same in the in the in

2571
01:56:48,360 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 3: the same conversation, uh where the fellas. We hang out

2572
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:56,640

2577
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 2: Welcome Back Fellas.

2578
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 3: From the tirerack dot Com studios. You know, it was

2579
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 3: funny I was gonna bring up, like, soccer is an

2580
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,400
Speaker 3: interesting conversation.

2581
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:35,080
Speaker 2: Because anytime there's a fight for a sport to get

2582
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:38,880
Speaker 2: well known, to be driven, when you do talk about it.

2583
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 3: I used to apologize for talking about sometimes because I go, listen,

2584
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 3: I'm not a trained eye. I mean, you know, I

2585
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 3: like it, I know it, but I don't know it

2586
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 3: probably as well as other people, and I would feel

2587
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 3: guilty about it. And then I thought about bringing this

2588
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:57,320
Speaker 3: whole conversation up, and I go, you know, honestly, I

2589
01:57:57,360 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 3: really just want to talk about football.

2590
01:58:01,640 --> 01:58:04,600
Speaker 4: The funny thing is, though, like when I was at

2591
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:08,600
Speaker 4: the time my first national radio show with Sarah Spain,

2592
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 4: and we talked.

2593
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 2: A lot of dubut Sarah, that's perfect, yeah.

2594
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 4: And that's something that Sarah was really passionate. She was

2595
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 4: passionate from day one about we're going to make women's

2596
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:18,360
Speaker 4: sports a topic. And what's funny to me is that

2597
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:22,440
Speaker 4: that was twenty eighteen and we were often chided by

2598
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 4: the bosses for not sticking to the most relevant things

2599
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:27,480
Speaker 4: because we were talking about the w and that shows

2600
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 4: you how different Like we'd have w players on and

2601
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 4: you know, we would afterwards in our coaching sessions they

2602
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 4: would come back and be like, yeah, but you know,

2603
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:37,120
Speaker 4: make sure you're focusing on the biggest stories of the

2604
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 4: day and all that stuff. That It's funny that now

2605
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 4: it's gone from the why are you talking about to

2606
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 4: the why aren't you talking about it? And both were

2607
01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 4: equal amounts judgment. You know, both were like why would

Speaker 4: you spend a segment talking about that? Now it's like, well,

2609
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 4: why wouldn't you spend a segment talking about that?

2610
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,720
Speaker 1: It's wild to me, it's nuts.

02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 3: Pants reminded me when when I first I did I

2642
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:27,280
Speaker 3: worked with Liquor and I worked together a whole season

2643
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:34,720
Speaker 3: and we did the we did Army Navy in like DC,

2644
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 3: and that was the first time I actually met him

2645
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 3: and we had like we talked on the phone.

2646
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 2: It's like fifty and I like to do the same thing.

2647
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:48,480
Speaker 3: And it's crazy, right I remember, go dude, we stayed

2648
02:00:48,480 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 3: out til four o'clock in the morning. It's a shame

2649
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 3: you got a flight the next day, FITZI, or else

2650
02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:56,160
Speaker 3: we would have did Manhattan tomorrow.

2651
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2652
02:00:57,200 --> 02:00:58,800
Speaker 4: Now I got to be in LA the next day,

2653
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 4: so you know, I'm a I'm coming into New York

2654
02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:03,160
Speaker 4: and then getting all right out afterwards.

2655
02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:05,240
Speaker 1: But you know, it's worth it to see you, That's

2656
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:05,840
Speaker 1: all I'm saying.

2657
02:01:05,880 --> 02:01:07,160
Speaker 2: Like, I'm looking forward to it. Brother.

2658
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 4: If I had done, if we had lined things up properly,

2659
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,000
Speaker 4: I would have flown from New York, which would have

2660
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 4: made a lot more sense than training back to Connecticut

2661
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:16,959
Speaker 4: to then fly from Connecticut.

2662
02:01:17,040 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 1: But that's that's fine. That's fine.

2663
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:19,280
Speaker 2: It's fine, Like I.

2664
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: Already had that.

2665
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 3: Next time, we're doing Manhattan, we're doing tonight. I'm at, yeah,

2666
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm all.

2667
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:28,400
Speaker 4: In on this, Like I this is the first foray

2668
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:30,160

2669
02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna have like people everywhere. And I keep getting

2670
02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:35,680
Speaker 4: all the updates on Fanatics Fest, and it looks like

2671
02:01:35,720 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 4: it's an absolutely incredible event. So you know, I feel

2672
02:01:38,560 --> 02:01:41,080
Speaker 4: like we're just we're making sure Sunday ends with the

2673
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:46,640
Speaker 4: bank that there's plenty of star power on the last day.

2674
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 2: That's great, all right, let me let me throw this at.

2675
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 3: You because we we we got to figure out and

2676
02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:58,240
Speaker 3: and I want to do this. So when you're looking

2677
02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:03,360
Speaker 3: at the next two weeks, and let's take your Raiders,

2678
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:05,120
Speaker 3: all right, because I want to bring it home to you.

2679
02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Guys, what are you seeking to know over the next

2680
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 2: two weeks.

2681
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 4: Competent quarterback play. It's the only thing that's holding this

2682
02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:17,080
Speaker 4: team back. I still think the Raiders have a pretty

2683
02:02:17,120 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 4: good roster almost everywhere else.

2684
02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:20,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking for one of.

2685
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:23,200
Speaker 4: The guys to just just clear cut take control of

2686
02:02:23,200 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 4: the gig, like one of the guys needs to go

2687
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:28,320
Speaker 4: out and win the job, not a well, nobody really separated.

2688
02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:30,280
Speaker 4: So we're gonna go with Aiden like we need somebody

2689
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:32,960
Speaker 4: to actually step in Figgie and just dominate.

2690
02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:34,920
Speaker 5: Thousand percent early. Like you said, be competent. I don't

2691
02:02:34,920 --> 02:02:36,360
Speaker 5: need you to go out there and be paid manning,

2692
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:38,160
Speaker 5: but show that you can put together some drives. You

2693
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:40,360
Speaker 5: can work off a play action, make some throws downfield.

2694
02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:42,640
Speaker 5: You're not gonna find this out before the start of

2695
02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 5: the regular season, but I do want to see if

2696
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:46,560
Speaker 5: Zamir White can be the Bellkower running back for a

2697
02:02:46,600 --> 02:02:49,040
Speaker 5: full season as opposed to just a couple of games.

2698
02:02:49,280 --> 02:02:50,800
Speaker 5: But you won't find that out until start of the

2699
02:02:50,800 --> 02:02:51,480
Speaker 5: regular season.

2700
02:02:52,480 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to Demir White.

2701
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:55,920

02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:19,920
Speaker 2: Boys. Let's start off.

2728
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you teams and we're gonna we're gonna

2729
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:26,320
Speaker 3: address them and kind of look at them, will analyze

2730
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 3: your schedule a little bit, and we're gonna do this segment.

2731
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:36,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna do NFL, We're gonna dive into college. All right,

2732
02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:40,200
Speaker 3: So this hour is gonna be looking at teams, teams

2733
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 3: that fascinate me. I will give you the Chicago Bears,

2734
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:50,800
Speaker 3: a team that I find very interesting, have a chance

2735
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 3: obviously with their skilled people, that could be really good

2736
02:04:56,600 --> 02:05:02,080
Speaker 3: offense led by the roock led by Caleb. Let's look

2737
02:05:02,120 --> 02:05:04,360
Speaker 3: at the Bears FITSI.

2738
02:05:05,400 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 4: Well, I mean Caleb had you know, the nice little

2739
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 4: preseason moment that made the highlight reel, so everybody feels

2740
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 4: good about it.

2741
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 1: But he's got weapons everywhere.

2742
02:05:12,240 --> 02:05:14,400
Speaker 4: They open the season against the Titans, team that I

2743
02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,480
Speaker 4: think is particularly difficult to game plan for because you

2744
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,480
Speaker 4: have no idea what that coaching staff is gonna do

2745
02:05:19,600 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 4: or what that team's gonna look like So that's that'll

2746
02:05:23,040 --> 02:05:25,400
Speaker 4: be a little wild for Caleb, because I'm not sure

2747
02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 4: that you can genuinely study and know what the tenancies

2748
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:30,480
Speaker 4: are gonna be for this Titans team. And then they

2749
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:33,120
Speaker 4: get the Texans after that, so I think a little

2750
02:05:33,160 --> 02:05:36,080
Speaker 4: bit of an interesting opener and then a difficult team

2751
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:39,160
Speaker 4: for there. But look, the Bears feel to me like

2752
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:41,400
Speaker 4: a fringe playoff team. It feels like they're gonna take

2753
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 4: a massive leap forward. And that's in part because I

2754
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 4: trust their weapons, I trust their defense, and I do

2755
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 4: trust Caleb Williams.

2756
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a star.

2757
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 4: I don't love the Eberflus remaining portion of this, but fine,

2758
02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:54,760
Speaker 4: Like that's the decision they made.

2759
02:05:54,760 --> 02:05:56,280
Speaker 1: They got a lot of easy games on this sea.

2760
02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:58,800
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at the meat of the schedules like Colts,

2761
02:05:59,280 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 4: Rams will be and then Panthers, Jags, Commanders, Cardinals, Patriots,

2762
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:05,680
Speaker 4: Like that's they got a little run there where they're

2763
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:07,160
Speaker 4: going to be able to pick up some wins. So

2764
02:06:07,200 --> 02:06:08,760
Speaker 4: I think in the middle of the season, the Bears

2765
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:12,080
Speaker 4: get hot, they become an even bigger phenomenon for everybody

2766
02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:12,920
Speaker 4: to be talking about.

2767
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:15,360
Speaker 2: Big.

2768
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to disagree with a lot of that.

2769
02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:20,400
Speaker 5: It's just there's a lot of unknowns. Yet we're all

2770
02:06:20,440 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 5: excited that Caleb Williams service was able to make the

2771
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:24,440
Speaker 5: play that he made last week in the preseason. But

2772
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,280
Speaker 5: once the regular season starts up and there's actually game

2773
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:30,760
Speaker 5: plans and more sophisticated defenses, you just wonder if you

2774
02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:32,280
Speaker 5: know whether or not the learning curve is going to

2775
02:06:32,320 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 5: be a little bit steeper. It doesn't mean I don't

2776
02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:35,360
Speaker 5: think Chicago is going to be solid this year, and

2777
02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:38,160
Speaker 5: they can compete for a playoff spot potentially, and I

2778
02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 5: do like that defense. Bringing in sweat midseason last year

2779
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:43,400
Speaker 5: was great. Defensively, they should be really good and they

2780
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:46,760
Speaker 5: have all of the skill position talent. You just wonder

2781
02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:48,480
Speaker 5: if the offensive line can hold up, if they can

2782
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 5: actually protect Caleb, and you know, if Caleb can actually

2783
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 5: get it done at this level and maybe not freelance

2784
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 5: as much and play within structure, which I know at

2785
02:06:55,280 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 5: times was sometimes difficult that usc sometimes born out of necessity,

2786
02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:00,760
Speaker 5: but sometimes because he had little bit of happy feet

2787
02:07:00,760 --> 02:07:02,520
Speaker 5: in the pocket. And you wonder if I'll have word

2788
02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:05,680
Speaker 5: to his advantage at the NFL level. So I'm mildly

2789
02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 5: encouraged by Chicago, and to your point, I guess I

2790
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:10,000
Speaker 5: would use the word intrigued was the word I think

2791
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:13,120
Speaker 5: you used, Anthony. I'm very intrigued by how this season

2792
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:15,000
Speaker 5: can go, because I can see it going in two

2793
02:07:15,080 --> 02:07:15,640
Speaker 5: different ways.

2794
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,080
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, Yeah, all right, can they

2795
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:21,400
Speaker 3: get to ten is the question? If they're a playoff team,

2796
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:24,560
Speaker 3: They're in a very difficult division, right, it's top heavy.

2797
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:28,760
Speaker 3: The Lions and Packers are probably the two best teams

2798
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:30,120
Speaker 3: in the NFC.

2799
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:32,120
Speaker 5: And Minnesota is not a pushover, even though I think

2800
02:07:32,120 --> 02:07:34,360
Speaker 5: even with Darnold as the starter, I think from a

2801
02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 5: team standpoint, I think they have a solid roster.

2802
02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:39,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's go over the schedule. See if you

2803
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 3: can get ten. I'll read it, you guys analyze it afterwards.

2804
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 3: Home Tennessee at the Texans, tough game at Indianapolis, tough game,

2805
02:07:53,200 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 3: home Rams, tough game home Panthers, home Jaguars at Washington

2806
02:08:00,640 --> 02:08:04,760
Speaker 3: at Arizona. That's the stretch I mean, home New England.

2807
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:07,440
Speaker 3: That's the stretch that fits he was talking about. Then

2808
02:08:07,560 --> 02:08:13,760
Speaker 3: home Green Bay, home Minnesota, at Detroit, at San Francisco

2809
02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:24,080
Speaker 3: at Minnesota, home Detroit home Seattle, and at Green Bay

2810
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:25,320
Speaker 3: to end the season.

2811
02:08:25,360 --> 02:08:27,600
Speaker 5: See for me, I don't think the schedule overall is

2812
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 5: really that easy. I think there's a stretch in there

2813
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 5: where you can clean up, and the problem is you

2814
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:35,240
Speaker 5: better clean up at that point in your schedule because

2815
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:37,960
Speaker 5: it does not get any easier. I think Tennessee Houston,

2816
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 5: Indy Rams to start off, you could easily be one

2817
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:43,400
Speaker 5: and three in that situation. I can easily see that.

2818
02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:46,080
Speaker 5: And then when once you get past New England, now

2819
02:08:46,120 --> 02:08:49,600
Speaker 5: you're Green Bay, Minnesota, Detroit at San Francisco at Minnesota,

2820
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:53,600
Speaker 5: Detroit again, Seattle, green Bay again, that's a pretty brutal

2821
02:08:53,640 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 5: stretch to the end the season. FOURTEENA doesn't have a

2822
02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:56,840
Speaker 5: lot of experience.

2823
02:08:57,200 --> 02:08:59,840
Speaker 4: I got him generously to nine. Like if I'm giving

2824
02:08:59,880 --> 02:09:01,520
Speaker 4: A some benefit of the doubt, I get them to

2825
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:02,480
Speaker 4: nine wins.

2826
02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:05,800
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, yeah, I can probably see that.

2827
02:09:06,160 --> 02:09:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but by.

2828
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 4: The way, nine wins in Caleb developing would be a

2829
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:11,320
Speaker 4: home N'll take that.

2830
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:14,800
Speaker 2: In a heartbeat. Definitely fits he definitely If.

2831
02:09:14,760 --> 02:09:17,200
Speaker 4: Chicago ends up with their first for the first time

2832
02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 4: in franchise history with A, we have got our starting quarterback.

2833
02:09:20,720 --> 02:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if they win five games, If Caleb goes

2834
02:09:22,880 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 1: out and CJ. Strouds it. They're like Bears fans are

2835
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:27,440
Speaker 1: going to be absolutely going.

2836
02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 3: They'll be losing besides some stuff, without a doubt. While

2837
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:36,600
Speaker 3: the team that intrigues me the Browns, who again similarly

2838
02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:41,800
Speaker 3: in a very tough division, the AFC North, one of

2839
02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:45,320
Speaker 3: the best. I think both North divisions are the best

2840
02:09:45,800 --> 02:09:49,400
Speaker 3: divisions in uh in in the NFL.

2841
02:09:49,920 --> 02:09:53,760
Speaker 2: So let's look at the Browns schedule. Can you come

2842
02:09:53,880 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 2: up with ten for Cleveland? And it's all gonna it's

2843
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:01,960
Speaker 2: all gonna be all the quarter quarterback.

2844
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:04,440
Speaker 5: That's what the spotlight is on this year.

2845
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:10,680
Speaker 3: Because they're really good everywhere else. They're terrific everywhere else.

2846
02:10:11,240 --> 02:10:16,919
Speaker 3: Here's their schedule. Fellas home Dallas to start the season

2847
02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:25,360
Speaker 3: at Jacksonville home, Giants at the Raiders at Washington at

2848
02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:33,440
Speaker 3: the Eagles home, Bengals home Ravens home, Chargers at the

2849
02:10:33,600 --> 02:10:42,200
Speaker 3: Saints home, Steelers at Denver at Steelers home, Chiefs at

2850
02:10:42,360 --> 02:10:49,480
Speaker 3: Cincinnati home, Dolphins at Baltimore to end the season.

2851
02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 1: That's a tough that's a tough schedule. I mean it

2852
02:10:53,520 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 1: really is.

2853
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:57,240
Speaker 4: Like I think the Browns look last year, they still

2854
02:10:57,240 --> 02:10:59,360
Speaker 4: won a bunch of games, even with DeShawn not playing well.

2855
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 1: The Browns are stacked, They're loaded there.

2856
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,440
Speaker 4: I think they're a great football team. I don't trust

2857
02:11:03,480 --> 02:11:05,720
Speaker 4: the quarterback position, but I think they're a great football team.

2858
02:11:05,760 --> 02:11:08,360
Speaker 4: So I but when you go through the schedule like

2859
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:10,440
Speaker 4: that again, I feel like I get him to nine,

2860
02:11:10,520 --> 02:11:14,160
Speaker 4: maybe ten, and that's just not gonna be good enough.

2861
02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 4: Like it's tough in the AFC because they're gonna be

2862
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:19,040
Speaker 4: taking on the Bengals and the Ravens, two teams I

2863
02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:23,560
Speaker 4: absolutely believe in. So yeah, and they're not gonna win

2864
02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:27,640
Speaker 4: their division, so now it becomes a wildcard combo, and man,

2865
02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 4: I I can get him to ten, though I think

2866
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:31,040
Speaker 4: the Browns are too talented to not get I like

2867
02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 4: Stefanski too much.

2868
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:33,440
Speaker 1: Also, I think I'll.

2869
02:11:33,280 --> 02:11:36,800
Speaker 2: Get them the big I'm with you.

2870
02:11:36,800 --> 02:11:38,800
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not the biggest fan of Deshaun Watson,

2871
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 5: and he certainly hasn't shown himself well the last couple

2872
02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:43,480
Speaker 5: of years, I would say, even when he was healthy.

2873
02:11:43,640 --> 02:11:46,400
Speaker 5: So he's the biggest question mark. But they're so good

2874
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 5: everywhere else. I think Chubb is supposed to be ready

2875
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:50,320
Speaker 5: close to, if not opening a day pretty early on

2876
02:11:50,360 --> 02:11:51,880
Speaker 5: in the season, so I'll give a boost back to

2877
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:55,080
Speaker 5: the run game. So yeah, I think the Cleveland can

2878
02:11:55,280 --> 02:11:57,400
Speaker 5: can very easily win ten eleven games this year.

2879
02:11:59,280 --> 02:12:03,760
Speaker 2: All right, now let's go to Dallas.

2880
02:12:04,040 --> 02:12:08,920
Speaker 3: Now, when last we left, FITZI, you were bullish on

2881
02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:14,640
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, still him, We both were, Yeah, I thought

2882
02:12:15,080 --> 02:12:16,400
Speaker 3: you two figure I know you are you?

2883
02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:17,680
Speaker 2: I know you are?

2884
02:12:17,760 --> 02:12:21,880
Speaker 3: You both we talked about arrows up down, all the

2885
02:12:22,040 --> 02:12:26,640
Speaker 3: drama that's played out. Are you as bullish as you

2886
02:12:26,720 --> 02:12:27,280
Speaker 3: once were?

2887
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:28,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2888
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, nothing, nothing but contracts is going to change

2889
02:12:31,960 --> 02:12:35,040
Speaker 4: my bullishness on this team going into this season at all.

2890
02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:38,160
Speaker 4: So at some point, you know they'll get it worked

2891
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:41,480
Speaker 4: out with CD, I think. But anyway you want to

2892
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:43,160
Speaker 4: look at it, I don't think CD's gonna sit there

2893
02:12:43,200 --> 02:12:45,360
Speaker 4: and sit out the season, right, So they'll get it

2894
02:12:45,400 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 4: figured out.

2895
02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:46,560
Speaker 1: Everybody will.

2896
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:48,920
Speaker 4: We'll have to come by out together at some point

2897
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:51,320
Speaker 4: and they'll Yeah, I'm still bullish on the Cowboys. They

2898
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 4: win twelve games every year. They'll win twelve games agetting

2899
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:53,640
Speaker 4: this year.

2900
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:55,760
Speaker 5: And if anything, if you're DAK or you're CD and

2901
02:12:55,800 --> 02:12:57,760
Speaker 5: you're looking for a new contract that you haven't gotten,

2902
02:12:57,800 --> 02:13:00,480
Speaker 5: if anything, you're gonna play better and ball out even

2903
02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:02,960
Speaker 5: more this year. So for people think CD might take

2904
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:05,240
Speaker 5: a step back, it might ask to prepare him for

2905
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:07,160
Speaker 5: and have an even better season than he did last year.

2906
02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:10,160
Speaker 5: So I don't think Dallas and Dallas's schedule certainly is

2907
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:12,920
Speaker 5: not the easiest, but we're.

2908
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:13,280
Speaker 2: Gonna go over it.

2909
02:13:13,360 --> 02:13:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming up, and I'm anxious to see what you

2910
02:13:15,720 --> 02:13:16,320
Speaker 3: guys think.

2911
02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:18,400
Speaker 2: No, all right, so sit right there.

2912
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna go over that and we're gonna do some

2913
02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:22,720

02:15:33,120 --> 02:15:34,920
Speaker 4: I really got. I got twelve out of that. Yeah,

2944
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:36,760
Speaker 4: and that's what the split with the Eagles. I still

2945
02:15:36,760 --> 02:15:37,520
Speaker 4: got them to twelve.

2946
02:15:37,840 --> 02:15:38,040

Speaker 1: They're twelve win team.

2949
02:15:42,120 --> 02:15:46,120
Speaker 3: I think we need to show that there's no way

2950
02:15:46,280 --> 02:15:47,320
Speaker 3: I don't see it.

2951
02:15:47,720 --> 02:15:49,760
Speaker 4: Let's put a line on the sand and eleven. Let's

2952
02:15:49,760 --> 02:15:51,720
Speaker 4: put this line in the sand at eleven. That way,

2953
02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:54,040
Speaker 4: we gives it both sides a little wiggle room. We'll

2954
02:15:54,040 --> 02:15:56,880
Speaker 4: put the line is eleven, and or we'll say the

2955
02:15:56,880 --> 02:15:58,440
Speaker 4: line's ten and a half. I'll take the over on

2956
02:15:58,520 --> 02:15:59,880
Speaker 4: ten and a half. You take the under on ten

2957
02:15:59,920 --> 02:16:00,400
Speaker 4: and a half.

2958
02:16:00,640 --> 02:16:03,560
Speaker 2: And uh, yeah, you said twelve. You did say eleven.

2959
02:16:03,600 --> 02:16:04,320
Speaker 2: You said twelve.

2960
02:16:04,880 --> 02:16:07,000
Speaker 5: Well, I don't want to hear it.

2961
02:16:07,960 --> 02:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you.

2962
02:16:09,040 --> 02:16:12,640
Speaker 3: I'll give you the I'll be sporting and give you

2963
02:16:12,680 --> 02:16:16,000
Speaker 3: the eleven is a push because I like eleven is

2964
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:17,200
Speaker 3: not out of eleven.

2965
02:16:17,240 --> 02:16:19,360
Speaker 2: They could win. I could see them winning eleven.

2966
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:21,200
Speaker 5: Well, if you can win eleven, you can win twelve, right.

2967
02:16:21,200 --> 02:16:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, way, their bases their basis ten. I could certainly

2968
02:16:26,080 --> 02:16:29,760
Speaker 3: see eleven. Uh, theyn't win at twelve. So I so

2969
02:16:30,120 --> 02:16:34,039
Speaker 3: I'm staunch about that, Okay.

2970
02:16:34,560 --> 02:16:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm passionate that they are.

2971
02:16:37,480 --> 02:16:39,480
Speaker 4: When I say twelve when football team, to me, that

2972
02:16:39,520 --> 02:16:41,560
Speaker 4: means that they're gonna win eleven or twelve somewhere. That right,

2973
02:16:41,640 --> 02:16:43,640
Speaker 4: Like when I say the Raiders are gonna win seven

2974
02:16:43,680 --> 02:16:46,360
Speaker 4: games if they win six or they win eight, I'm

2975
02:16:46,400 --> 02:16:47,720
Speaker 4: not particularly.

2976
02:16:47,280 --> 02:16:51,080
Speaker 3: I hear you, but twelve, like, I think they can

2977
02:16:51,120 --> 02:16:53,440
Speaker 3: win eleven, right, like I do. Like I could see

2978
02:16:53,480 --> 02:16:56,360
Speaker 3: them at eleven, I don't see them at twelve. I

2979
02:16:56,400 --> 02:16:59,400
Speaker 3: think there's a big difference between eleven and twelve. It

2980
02:16:59,480 --> 02:17:03,240
Speaker 3: sounds stud I know, but I think there's a big

2981
02:17:03,240 --> 02:17:08,400
Speaker 3: difference because in the seventeen games, the twelve and five

2982
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:13,240
Speaker 3: is no, it's you. You got to be pretty dominant

2983
02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:16,840
Speaker 3: to get twelve in a long, arduous season.

2984
02:17:17,680 --> 02:17:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2985
02:17:17,959 --> 02:17:19,640
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that, but that means that the

2986
02:17:19,680 --> 02:17:22,280
Speaker 4: Cowboys have been pretty dominant three years or straight season.

2987
02:17:23,040 --> 02:17:27,600
Speaker 3: And I and I go, show me where again, outside

2988
02:17:27,600 --> 02:17:30,640
Speaker 3: of CD LAMB, where they're dangerous?

2989
02:17:30,920 --> 02:17:32,360
Speaker 5: Where were they dangerous last year?

2990
02:17:32,560 --> 02:17:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't care about last year. I'm just saying says

2991
02:17:35,760 --> 02:17:37,560
Speaker 2: it's not about last year.

2992
02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:42,280
Speaker 5: In the world. Okay, that's about this year currently where

2993
02:17:42,320 --> 02:17:43,120
Speaker 5: they're dangerous.

2994
02:17:43,360 --> 02:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Why do they need more than that?

2995
02:17:44,480 --> 02:17:44,840
Speaker 5: Correct?

2996
02:17:45,160 --> 02:17:47,520
Speaker 4: They have an MVP caliber quarterback in an Envy one

2997
02:17:48,160 --> 02:17:49,920
Speaker 4: good enough for that.

2998
02:17:50,040 --> 02:17:53,200
Speaker 5: It has been in the past. Would that weapons on

2999
02:17:53,240 --> 02:17:54,680
Speaker 5: the past is irrelevant?

3000
02:17:54,680 --> 02:17:58,599
Speaker 3: Counselor your partner already said the pass is irrelevant.

3001
02:17:58,640 --> 02:18:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm just going by his Now.

3002
02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:02,959
Speaker 5: We're basing it off of hypotheticals, which is all.

3003
02:18:02,760 --> 02:18:05,440
Speaker 3: I could go hypothetical. You're looking at the roster right now,

3004
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:06,959
Speaker 3: you go, this is the roster.

3005
02:18:07,080 --> 02:18:10,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm saying based on based on history, this

3006
02:18:11,040 --> 02:18:11,600
Speaker 5: is the roster.

3007
02:18:11,760 --> 02:18:15,600
Speaker 3: But your partners said history is irrelevant to the year.

3008
02:18:16,080 --> 02:18:19,039
Speaker 3: So you're looking at this roster going into this year.

3009
02:18:20,080 --> 02:18:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

3010
02:18:20,320 --> 02:18:23,040
Speaker 4: I don't care about the Bengals other than Joe Burrow

3011
02:18:23,120 --> 02:18:25,040
Speaker 4: and Jamar Chase being on the same page. I don't

3012
02:18:25,040 --> 02:18:27,760
Speaker 4: care about the Cowboys other than Ceedee Lamb being on

3013
02:18:27,800 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 4: the same page with Dak Prescott. I don't care about

3014
02:18:30,400 --> 02:18:33,879
Speaker 4: the Chiefs other than Patrick Mahomes being an MVP game.

3015
02:18:33,760 --> 02:18:36,560
Speaker 2: With Daverscott, with Mahomes and Barrow, No, I don't.

3016
02:18:37,240 --> 02:18:38,400
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think that too.

3017
02:18:38,680 --> 02:18:40,920
Speaker 4: That back team, yeah, I put that tack team on

3018

Speaker 4: that same righte Ever, you know second in MVP voting.

3019
02:18:44,080 --> 02:18:46,080
Speaker 3: I don't care about that. I don't care. Come on,

3020
02:18:46,560 --> 02:18:51,360
Speaker 3: I don't DA equals Mahomes or Barrows. We know none

02:21:12,200 --> 02:21:16,240
Speaker 3: schooled by Eli Manning on a on a Hail Mary

3069
02:21:16,320 --> 02:21:17,880
Speaker 3: before halftime.

3070
02:21:19,040 --> 02:21:22,879
Speaker 1: Looking states, so does Kellen Moore.

3071
02:21:23,040 --> 02:21:25,800
Speaker 4: Kellen Moore has had Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert as

3072
02:21:25,840 --> 02:21:28,000
Speaker 4: his quarterbacks. It hasn't managed to scare anything.

3073
02:21:28,840 --> 02:21:31,880
Speaker 3: Herbert was hurt, they were hurt last year. All around him.

3074
02:21:32,160 --> 02:21:34,600
Speaker 3: The thing was a mess. Dad a bad head coach.

3075
02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:37,039
Speaker 3: He was terrible. You can't give me one year with

3076
02:21:37,040 --> 02:21:38,160
Speaker 3: the Chargers.

3077
02:21:38,200 --> 02:21:40,039
Speaker 4: I mean, but you can give me Harball coming in

3078
02:21:40,080 --> 02:21:42,040
Speaker 4: and decide not to keep him. Like nobody in the

3079
02:21:42,040 --> 02:21:43,280
Speaker 4: building fought for him, right.

3080
02:21:44,840 --> 02:21:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Horble is gonna want his own people. But

3081
02:21:47,480 --> 02:21:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, if that's not an indictment on Kevin Moore's.

3082
02:21:50,200 --> 02:21:52,240
Speaker 4: The Great White Hope, then all of a sudden Herbert

3083
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:54,600
Speaker 4: would be like, hey, at least coordinator around.

3084
02:21:54,760 --> 02:21:57,280
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I mean, I can just look at it.

3085
02:21:57,360 --> 02:21:57,480
Speaker 4: Go.

3086
02:21:57,760 --> 02:22:01,000
Speaker 2: Would I rather have Kelli Moore or Carthy.

3087
02:22:02,720 --> 02:22:12,039
Speaker 5: McCarthy McCarthy I hate McCarthy the first He was.

3088
02:22:12,040 --> 02:22:15,400
Speaker 3: A Fugesian green bag. Should have won way more than

3089
02:22:15,440 --> 02:22:17,600
Speaker 3: he did. I'm I'm out on McCarthy.

3090
02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Now I'm I'm out. I'm equally out on Keller Moore.

3091
02:22:21,200 --> 02:22:21,960
Speaker 1: I love these bets.

3092
02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:23,879
Speaker 3: Listen, I don't care about Kelli Moore for I'll be

3093
02:22:23,879 --> 02:22:26,840
Speaker 3: honest with you. Was I doing car wheels with Keller Moore?

3094
02:22:26,959 --> 02:22:27,039
Speaker 12: No?

3095
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:30,400
Speaker 2: I wasn't all right. But after last year.

3096
02:22:30,879 --> 02:22:36,160
Speaker 3: Keller Moore looks like uh shan Kyle Shanahan compared to

3097
02:22:36,320 --> 02:22:39,000
Speaker 3: Brian Johnson and Syriani's offense last year.

3098
02:22:39,360 --> 02:22:41,920
Speaker 1: So this is this is the bet we got the

3099
02:22:41,959 --> 02:22:42,520
Speaker 1: two bets.

3100
02:22:42,600 --> 02:22:46,080
Speaker 4: It's twelve wins for the Cowboys and it's the Cowboys finish.

3101
02:22:45,920 --> 02:22:47,880
Speaker 1: Ahead of the Eagles. That those are my two bets.

3102
02:22:48,000 --> 02:22:49,840
Speaker 4: And I'm just saying, now we're gonna need like a

02:22:53,959 --> 02:22:56,879
Speaker 4: like I'm a little uncomfortable pulling my wallet out, Like

Speaker 4: it's just like I don't want to look at don't

3128
02:24:06,480 --> 02:24:07,920
Speaker 5: the sauce that really makes a Chick fil A.

3129
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:09,240

Speaker 2: Nothing right.

3143
02:24:55,760 --> 02:24:59,400
Speaker 3: Imagine, like you know, you go to a pub and

3144
02:24:59,440 --> 02:25:01,560
Speaker 3: you get one of the pub burgers that I love,

3145
02:25:01,640 --> 02:25:04,480
Speaker 3: the pub burgers, like the big fat hamburgers that are

3146
02:25:04,520 --> 02:25:06,640
Speaker 3: done quality meat.

3147
02:25:07,160 --> 02:25:08,839
Speaker 2: Like that's a sixteen.

3148
02:25:08,440 --> 02:25:12,400
Speaker 3: Dollars burger, right, not what it turns out to be

3149
02:25:12,640 --> 02:25:16,320
Speaker 3: three paddies and to your roles, like you're going to

3150
02:25:16,400 --> 02:25:19,240
Speaker 3: charge me sixteen dollars, that's not right.

3151
02:25:20,400 --> 02:25:22,880
Speaker 5: Well, price gounging to the nth degree is all that

3152
02:25:23,040 --> 02:25:24,119
Speaker 5: is ridiculous.

3153
02:25:24,280 --> 02:25:27,640
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous and I don't even know how to like

3154
02:25:27,720 --> 02:25:30,120
Speaker 4: his come on, Like I grew up with nothing.

3155
02:25:30,600 --> 02:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I've been open about that.

3156
02:25:32,120 --> 02:25:34,080
Speaker 4: But like I remember when we were going when I

3157
02:25:34,320 --> 02:25:35,760
Speaker 4: had to go to New York for the weekend for

3158
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:38,400
Speaker 4: lessons when I was at Juilliard as a little kid.

3159
02:25:38,720 --> 02:25:42,280
Speaker 4: My dad would stop at the at the McDonald's right

3160
02:25:42,360 --> 02:25:44,600
Speaker 4: across the Connecticut New York state line at the time,

3161
02:25:44,959 --> 02:25:48,200
Speaker 4: and it was twenty nine cent to hamburgers, right, So

3162
02:25:48,240 --> 02:25:50,680
Speaker 4: my dad would just get enough hamburgers in a sack

3163
02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:52,280
Speaker 4: to feed me for the weekend, and that was my

3164
02:25:52,360 --> 02:25:55,320
Speaker 4: food for the weekend. I can't imagine now, like how

3165
02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:58,000
Speaker 4: how that works. Like there was a period of life

3166
02:25:58,040 --> 02:26:00,280
Speaker 4: where that that kind of helped my family not have

3167
02:26:00,360 --> 02:26:02,560
Speaker 4: food issues. So I can't imagine what it's like now

3168
02:26:02,640 --> 02:26:04,959
Speaker 4: to turn around and be like, yeah, I'd love to

3169
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:08,160
Speaker 4: get you a two cheeseburger meal. Unfortunately it's twenty dollars

3170
02:26:08,160 --> 02:26:09,440
Speaker 4: Like that just doesn't make any sense.

3171
02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:13,720
Speaker 3: No, no, it's it's it's out. It really is outrageous,

3172
02:26:14,320 --> 02:26:16,400
Speaker 3: you know, when you think about it, it's it's no,

3173
02:26:16,480 --> 02:26:21,800
Speaker 3: it's terrible, even like a pizza. Now, like I last

3174
02:26:21,879 --> 02:26:24,720
Speaker 3: night they went. It was a Friday night because so

3175
02:26:24,760 --> 02:26:27,560
Speaker 3: we cooked usually like four but it's hard with practice, right,

3176
02:26:27,680 --> 02:26:31,039
Speaker 3: so they got practice every night, so you know it's

3177
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:34,640
Speaker 3: it's hard. So last night was a night out because

3178
02:26:34,640 --> 02:26:37,600
Speaker 3: they had practice. And the whole thing it was a pizza.

3179
02:26:38,440 --> 02:26:42,760
Speaker 3: Anthony gets a pizza and Mosmo gets a cheese steak

3180
02:26:43,959 --> 02:26:51,280
Speaker 3: and it was thirty eight dollars. No, my wife and

3181
02:26:51,320 --> 02:26:54,800
Speaker 3: I didn't eat. I mean I could have had one

3182
02:26:54,800 --> 02:26:57,680
Speaker 3: of anthony ate six slices. There were two left over

3183
02:26:57,720 --> 02:27:01,080
Speaker 3: and I'll eat them for lunch today. Mons or half

3184
02:27:01,080 --> 02:27:03,920
Speaker 3: of steak left, so we'll eat that for lunch today.

3185
02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:08,440
Speaker 3: But you know, thirty eight dollars, I mean that even

3186
02:27:08,480 --> 02:27:10,640
Speaker 3: the pizza joints, like you could get a pizza for

3187
02:27:10,680 --> 02:27:15,680
Speaker 3: ten bucks. It was daisily right, like pizza staple. Hey,

3188
02:27:16,120 --> 02:27:20,160
Speaker 3: this is Figgy's last show before paternity leave.

Speaker 3: vine like discipline.

02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:48,480
Speaker 2: You know you're disciplined, you're fastidious.

3252
02:29:49,320 --> 02:29:52,320
Speaker 1: That's true. I also look good in the French made outfits.

3253
02:29:53,640 --> 02:29:54,640
Speaker 5: The most important right.

3254
02:29:55,120 --> 02:29:57,400
Speaker 4: I've gone wildly off the rails in the last hour

3255
02:29:57,440 --> 02:29:59,160
Speaker 4: of the Fellas I apologize America.

3256
02:29:59,200 --> 02:30:01,800
Speaker 10: Good yes, sir, off the show, saying kissing a pig

3257
02:30:01,840 --> 02:30:02,720
Speaker 10: with blipsticks.

3258
02:30:04,840 --> 02:30:08,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. There's been a lot of travel the

3259
02:30:08,760 --> 02:30:10,840
Speaker 1: last week. I might be losing my mind. Boys, I

3260
02:30:10,840 --> 02:30:11,680
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening.

3261
02:30:12,600 --> 02:30:14,800
Speaker 4: I did start off by talking about kissing a pig,

3262
02:30:14,879 --> 02:30:16,320
Speaker 4: and now I'm in a French made outfit.

3263
02:30:16,400 --> 02:30:18,360
Speaker 1: So you're welcome. The Fellaw's this in adventures.

3264
02:30:20,360 --> 02:30:21,600
Speaker 5: This is the stuff I'm gonna miss.

3265
02:30:23,400 --> 02:30:26,240
Speaker 3: All right, let's get back to what we said. So

3266
02:30:26,360 --> 02:30:29,480
Speaker 3: we have our our Cowboys Eagles bets.

3267
02:30:29,560 --> 02:30:30,080
Speaker 2: Let's go.

3268
02:30:30,920 --> 02:30:35,359
Speaker 3: Since you have the Cowboys over the Eagles, I'll divorce

3269
02:30:35,480 --> 02:30:39,240
Speaker 3: myself from the conversation and I'll let you guys go.

3270
02:30:39,920 --> 02:30:42,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you their schedule coming up, but give me

3271
02:30:42,920 --> 02:30:44,760
Speaker 3: your analysis.

3272
02:30:45,959 --> 02:30:46,680
Speaker 1: On the Eagles.

3273
02:30:48,520 --> 02:30:50,720
Speaker 4: Look, I think the Eagles have all the talent in

3274
02:30:50,760 --> 02:30:52,320
Speaker 4: the world, and they have all the talent to win

3275
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:54,440
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl. For being very serious, I think everything

3276
02:30:54,480 --> 02:30:56,680
Speaker 4: that you could possibly want. The hardest thing is that

3277
02:30:56,720 --> 02:30:58,520
Speaker 4: they've just got to write the ship of whatever was

3278
02:30:58,560 --> 02:31:01,200
Speaker 4: wrong last year. And I know that the argument is, hey,

3279
02:31:01,240 --> 02:31:03,520
Speaker 4: they bring in better coordinators that are going to be

3280
02:31:03,560 --> 02:31:06,120
Speaker 4: a better fit, and Sirianni's going to have everything figured out.

3281
02:31:06,200 --> 02:31:09,560
Speaker 4: And you know, I can absolutely see that. I believed

3282
02:31:09,560 --> 02:31:11,240
Speaker 4: in Jalen Hurts when he was drafted. I believe in

3283
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:14,040
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts today. I believe in the weapons around Jalen Hurts.

3284
02:31:14,280 --> 02:31:17,160
Speaker 4: There are some complications. I think replacing Kelsey when you

3285
02:31:17,200 --> 02:31:20,680
Speaker 4: talk to former offensive linemen, is going to be an issue,

3286
02:31:20,680 --> 02:31:22,840
Speaker 4: Like that's not something that is easily done.

3287
02:31:22,879 --> 02:31:24,520
Speaker 1: They've lost a few pieces that I think can be

3288
02:31:24,520 --> 02:31:25,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a concern.

3289
02:31:25,560 --> 02:31:28,040
Speaker 4: But look, if everything breaks right for the Eagles, then

3290
02:31:28,520 --> 02:31:30,520
Speaker 4: they are every bit. You know, I don't think it's

3291
02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:32,680
Speaker 4: a hot take to say that right now, the upper

3292
02:31:32,720 --> 02:31:35,680
Speaker 4: tier in my mind in the NFC is clearly you know,

3293
02:31:35,680 --> 02:31:38,680
Speaker 4: I've already mentioned Dallas, I will mention Philly, I will mention.

3294
02:31:38,560 --> 02:31:39,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco and Detroit.

3295
02:31:39,720 --> 02:31:41,480
Speaker 4: Those are the four teams in the NFC that I

3296
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:43,440
Speaker 4: think walk into the season with the best shot at

3297
02:31:43,440 --> 02:31:43,920
Speaker 4: a super Bowl.

3298
02:31:44,120 --> 02:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Philly is one of them.

3299
02:31:45,520 --> 02:31:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't disagree. And you look at amidst all

3300
02:31:47,760 --> 02:31:49,880
Speaker 5: the issues that they had last season, they were still

3301
02:31:50,080 --> 02:31:52,160
Speaker 5: or there were twelve and one or twelve and two

3302
02:31:52,360 --> 02:31:54,560
Speaker 5: before one, that's what it was, ten and one before

3303
02:31:54,560 --> 02:31:56,160
Speaker 5: it all fell apart at the end of the season.

3304
02:31:56,360 --> 02:31:58,200
Speaker 5: And look, they were ten and one and we were

3305
02:31:58,280 --> 02:32:00,120
Speaker 5: lamenting every single week how they didn't look good. But

3306
02:32:00,320 --> 02:32:03,240
Speaker 5: you know, all these comeback wins and Jalen's inaccurate and

3307
02:32:03,240 --> 02:32:05,440
Speaker 5: all these different So that tells you just how talented

3308
02:32:05,440 --> 02:32:07,360
Speaker 5: they are and how wide of a margin that they have.

3309
02:32:07,480 --> 02:32:10,000
Speaker 5: So if they've just improved a little bit, whether it's

3310
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:12,560
Speaker 5: from a play calling standpoint, you mentioned, can lose, losing

3311
02:32:12,640 --> 02:32:17,680
Speaker 5: Kelsey's not gonna help. Defensively, They've reloaded on the D line, Like, look,

3312
02:32:17,680 --> 02:32:19,560
Speaker 5: the sky's the limit for them. So if we're talking

3313
02:32:19,560 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 5: about Dallas winning eleven twelve games, there's no reason why

3314
02:32:22,160 --> 02:32:23,920
Speaker 5: Philadelphia can't be right there with them. And this is

3315
02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:25,959
Speaker 5: a fight to the end to determine who ends up

3316
02:32:25,959 --> 02:32:28,959
Speaker 5: winning the division with between you know, between eleven and

3317
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:31,640
Speaker 5: thirteen wins, I can see both of them coming right

3318
02:32:31,680 --> 02:32:33,840
Speaker 5: down to the wire having similar seasons.

3319
02:32:35,120 --> 02:32:37,440
Speaker 2: I just to do the schedule.

3320
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:45,000
Speaker 3: You got Green Bay in Brazil, Home in Atlanta at

3321
02:32:45,120 --> 02:32:51,840
Speaker 3: New Orleans at Tampa Bay home, Cleveland at the Giants

3322
02:32:52,640 --> 02:33:00,280
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati home, Jacksonville at Dallas home, Washington at the

3323
02:33:00,400 --> 02:33:10,480
Speaker 3: Rams at Baltimore home, Panthers home, Stealers at Washington home,

3324
02:33:10,680 --> 02:33:13,000
Speaker 3: Dallas home Giants.

3325
02:33:14,800 --> 02:33:19,080
Speaker 4: I got them to eleven in that game.

3326
02:33:19,560 --> 02:33:25,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, let's do the Packers because they're a

3327
02:33:25,600 --> 02:33:29,640
Speaker 3: team that intrigues me. I think the Packers are a

3328
02:33:29,680 --> 02:33:34,160
Speaker 3: team that could actually I love love. I mean, I

3329
02:33:34,200 --> 02:33:38,160
Speaker 3: know you're a little dubious, fitsy, I want.

3330
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:38,400
Speaker 1: To love them.

3331
02:33:38,400 --> 02:33:40,600
Speaker 4: We're just so early in our dating relationship. I feel

3332
02:33:40,600 --> 02:33:42,000
Speaker 4: like we need to go on a few more dates.

3333
02:33:42,000 --> 02:33:44,120
Speaker 4: Like I'm ready for some heavy petting, but I'm not

3334
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:45,880
Speaker 4: ready to put a ring on it. Like that's that's

3335
02:33:45,920 --> 02:33:53,200
Speaker 4: where I am. So you're you're not breaking at No,

3336
02:33:53,480 --> 02:33:55,920
Speaker 4: everything's everything's still above the clothes at this point, we're

3337
02:33:55,920 --> 02:34:00,440
Speaker 4: straight middle school with this. Go ahead, gonna have to

3338
02:34:00,480 --> 02:34:03,279
Speaker 4: have met this whole show at this point. God forbid,

3339
02:34:03,320 --> 02:34:04,959
Speaker 4: this be the week that the bosses are all like

3340
02:34:05,040 --> 02:34:06,680
Speaker 4: intently listening to every second of it.

3341
02:34:06,720 --> 02:34:07,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead.

3342
02:34:08,600 --> 02:34:12,840
Speaker 3: That's a classic. All right, here's their schedule, all right,

3343
02:34:12,959 --> 02:34:17,600
Speaker 3: here you go. Eagles Brazil, like we said, Colts at

3344
02:34:17,680 --> 02:34:26,040
Speaker 3: home at Tennessee, Vikings at home at Rams, Cardinals at home,

3345
02:34:26,879 --> 02:34:33,080
Speaker 3: Texans at home at Jacksonville, Lions at home at Chicago,

3346
02:34:33,879 --> 02:34:41,800
Speaker 3: Niners at home, Dolphins at home at Lions at Seattle home,

3347
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:46,600
Speaker 3: Saints at Minnesota home, Bears.

3348
02:34:48,800 --> 02:34:51,080
Speaker 4: I think I just accidentally got them to twelve, and

3349
02:34:51,120 --> 02:34:52,840
Speaker 4: that doesn't feel right. So I'm gonna take them back

3350
02:34:52,840 --> 02:34:55,920
Speaker 4: to ten. Yeah, I'm taking them back to ten. I

3351
02:34:56,000 --> 02:34:58,520
Speaker 4: must have miscounted. That's all I demand to recount.

3352
02:34:58,920 --> 02:35:01,320
Speaker 1: There's ten. Ten is the best. I can feel good

3353
02:35:01,320 --> 02:35:05,119
Speaker 1: about it. And I mean, look, guys, like, if Jordan Love.

3354
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:07,039
Speaker 4: Is who he showed he was the back half of

3355
02:35:07,080 --> 02:35:09,520
Speaker 4: the season, then the sky's the limit for this team.

3356
02:35:09,600 --> 02:35:10,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

3357
02:35:10,320 --> 02:35:12,760
Speaker 4: If Jordan Love takes even the slightest step back, then

3358
02:35:12,800 --> 02:35:15,520
Speaker 4: they're a ten win football team. So you know, I'm

3359
02:35:15,959 --> 02:35:18,120
Speaker 4: I think I'm being fair and reasonable and saying I

3360
02:35:18,160 --> 02:35:20,320
Speaker 4: really like Jordan Love. I just would like to see

3361
02:35:20,360 --> 02:35:23,320
Speaker 4: more than half of one season before I anoint him

3362
02:35:23,320 --> 02:35:24,480
Speaker 4: as the future of the league.

3363
02:35:24,560 --> 02:35:25,720
Speaker 5: I agree one thousand percent.

3364
02:35:26,360 --> 02:35:28,240
Speaker 3: But I mean, I think we can say, like nobody's

3365
02:35:28,280 --> 02:35:30,040
Speaker 3: annoying him in the future of the league, but I

3366
02:35:30,080 --> 02:35:32,039
Speaker 3: think he can be very good.

3367
02:35:32,440 --> 02:35:34,400
Speaker 5: Oh no, I think we all agree. We have the

3368
02:35:34,400 --> 02:35:36,520
Speaker 5: conversation a couple of weeks ago about him and Tua

3369
02:35:36,640 --> 02:35:40,280
Speaker 5: and contracts and all that stuff, and I think Fitz

3370
02:35:40,280 --> 02:35:41,600
Speaker 5: and I's point is we just want to see a

3371
02:35:41,600 --> 02:35:43,840
Speaker 5: little bit more we're now. It wasn't arguing whether or

3372
02:35:43,920 --> 02:35:46,080
Speaker 5: not Tua was better than him. It's just like he

3373
02:35:46,200 --> 02:35:48,800
Speaker 5: just has more production over more years, So that that

3374
02:35:48,920 --> 02:35:49,800
Speaker 5: was just what the what the do?

3375
02:35:50,040 --> 02:35:53,240
Speaker 3: Literally, I am and as often you guys are always

3376
02:35:53,280 --> 02:35:57,400
Speaker 3: at tandem and I am a solo. I'd love love,

3377
02:35:58,240 --> 02:35:59,640
Speaker 3: So I'm all in think if.

3378
02:35:59,480 --> 02:36:01,560
Speaker 4: This is like the like this is here's the thing,

3379
02:36:01,560 --> 02:36:04,440
Speaker 4: because this is like eighties wrestling where we know that

3380
02:36:04,600 --> 02:36:06,720
Speaker 4: you are whole Cogan and we can't take down Hull

3381
02:36:06,760 --> 02:36:08,680
Speaker 4: Cogan by ourselves. It takes two of us, right, So

3382
02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:10,760
Speaker 4: Figgie and I got a tag team together and we

3383
02:36:10,840 --> 02:36:13,280
Speaker 4: got a hope, hope, like hope like hell that this

3384
02:36:13,320 --> 02:36:15,480
Speaker 4: is a Saturday Night's main event where we somehow get

3385
02:36:15,480 --> 02:36:17,960
Speaker 4: the big win two on one and you know, nobody

3386
02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:20,000
Speaker 4: has to cheat and breeze back there with the metal

3387
02:36:20,040 --> 02:36:21,680
Speaker 4: chair ready, so we might.

3388
02:36:21,560 --> 02:36:23,560
Speaker 5: Have to cheat, you know, I mean that you might

3389
02:36:24,640 --> 02:36:26,640
Speaker 5: in the back of the head with the megaphone or something.

3390
02:36:26,680 --> 02:36:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, Marcus definitely got the megaphone.

3391
02:36:29,360 --> 02:36:32,360
Speaker 4: He's ready for it, like we've got the whole tandem

3392
02:36:32,400 --> 02:36:34,240
Speaker 4: is ready to take So maybe that makes you Andre

3393
02:36:34,360 --> 02:36:37,720
Speaker 4: the giant in this situation because we know, like we

3394
02:36:37,800 --> 02:36:39,680
Speaker 4: can't slam you unless you let us slam you.

3395
02:36:39,800 --> 02:36:42,039
Speaker 1: Like that that's just the we get it. We understand

3396
02:36:42,040 --> 02:36:43,680
Speaker 1: our role. We just it takes two of us to

3408
02:37:23,920 --> 02:37:27,520
Speaker 3: August the seventeenth, two weeks, just so you know, one

3409
02:37:27,560 --> 02:37:32,000
Speaker 3: week from today, week zero, and we'll have Georgia Tech

3410
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:34,360
Speaker 3: Florida State, so actually have a real team in action

3411
02:37:34,440 --> 02:37:38,480
Speaker 3: two on week zero and in two weeks Labor Day,

3412
02:37:38,920 --> 02:37:41,560
Speaker 3: and of course that is the big college football kickoff,

3413
02:37:41,600 --> 02:37:45,640
Speaker 3: that whole week Labor Day weekend, which is so much fun.

3414
02:37:46,440 --> 02:37:49,680
Speaker 3: I would like to see them adopt more of a

3415
02:37:49,720 --> 02:37:53,400
Speaker 3: week zero slate. And now that you have the playoffs,

3416
02:37:53,560 --> 02:37:55,240
Speaker 3: I think you could do you can have some fun

3417
02:37:55,280 --> 02:37:57,760
Speaker 3: with it and kind of do a whole lead in

3418
02:37:58,320 --> 02:38:02,480
Speaker 3: while you have the spotlight order yourself. I think college

3419
02:38:02,480 --> 02:38:05,560
Speaker 3: foot would be would suit it to do a week

3420
02:38:05,720 --> 02:38:09,480
Speaker 3: zero splash and continue their labor day and have some

3421
02:38:09,520 --> 02:38:12,400
Speaker 3: big games over the first two weeks of the season.

3422
02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree.

3423
02:38:14,240 --> 02:38:16,960
Speaker 4: And look, there are certain places like I've long since

3424
02:38:17,080 --> 02:38:21,680
Speaker 4: argued that the NFL, frankly could put literally Titans Jags

3425
02:38:21,720 --> 02:38:22,320
Speaker 4: on the first night.

3426
02:38:22,360 --> 02:38:23,240
Speaker 1: Everybody would watch it.

3427
02:38:23,280 --> 02:38:25,440
Speaker 4: We're so thirsty for it, right, And I know college

3428
02:38:25,440 --> 02:38:27,520
Speaker 4: football has become the second biggest port in America, but

3429
02:38:27,560 --> 02:38:30,120
Speaker 4: I think there is a showcase opportunity, especially with all

3430
02:38:30,160 --> 02:38:32,320
Speaker 4: of the change of sitting with the buddy last night

3431
02:38:32,360 --> 02:38:34,640
Speaker 4: that knows a lot of sports, but as we sat

3432
02:38:34,680 --> 02:38:36,920
Speaker 4: and talked, it was it was interesting to talk to

3433
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:39,359
Speaker 4: he and his dad and there wasn't really an understanding

3434
02:38:39,360 --> 02:38:41,400
Speaker 4: of what the college football playoff structure looks.

3435
02:38:41,200 --> 02:38:41,600
Speaker 2: Like this year.

3436
02:38:41,600 --> 02:38:43,760
Speaker 4: And it's a reminder that if you don't live in

3437
02:38:43,800 --> 02:38:46,440
Speaker 4: it every day, people need to be reminded. So the

3438
02:38:46,480 --> 02:38:49,199
Speaker 4: advantage you have in Week zero and even through week

3439
02:38:49,280 --> 02:38:51,119
Speaker 4: one in some of this is.

3440
02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:52,480
Speaker 1: You have a captive audience.

3441
02:38:52,520 --> 02:38:54,720
Speaker 4: Give me big matchups that people are going to want

3442
02:38:54,720 --> 02:38:56,960
Speaker 4: to flock to while you retell the story of what

3443
02:38:57,000 --> 02:38:58,280
Speaker 4: makes college football interesting.

3444
02:38:58,280 --> 02:38:58,600
Speaker 1: This year.

3445
02:38:58,600 --> 02:39:01,440
Speaker 4: I think this is, without quo, the most interesting season

3446
02:39:01,440 --> 02:39:04,040
Speaker 4: in college football history. And the numbers are going to

3447
02:39:04,080 --> 02:39:05,920
Speaker 4: show that people are gonna flock to it. It's gonna

3448
02:39:05,920 --> 02:39:08,280
Speaker 4: be incredible. But from the outset I would be building

3449
02:39:08,280 --> 02:39:08,879
Speaker 4: more hype.

3450
02:39:09,920 --> 02:39:12,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, I just.

3451
02:39:12,320 --> 02:39:14,400
Speaker 5: Don't want the concept of the week zero. Why not

3452
02:39:14,480 --> 02:39:16,680
Speaker 5: just make your Week one and do what the NFL does.

3453
02:39:17,440 --> 02:39:20,840
Speaker 5: Game on Thursday, maybe two, game on Friday maybe too,

3454
02:39:20,879 --> 02:39:23,200
Speaker 5: and roll it through the weekend. You have the entire

3455
02:39:23,240 --> 02:39:26,520
Speaker 5: weekends to yourself. You can literally have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

3456
02:39:26,560 --> 02:39:29,600
Speaker 5: and then Monday on Labor Day nothing but college football

3457
02:39:29,959 --> 02:39:32,840
Speaker 5: with quality matchups and that huge matchups. Yeah, and have

3458
02:39:32,920 --> 02:39:33,600
Speaker 5: that be week one.

3459
02:39:34,080 --> 02:39:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, have it be SEC versus Pig ten, right, like

3460
02:39:36,480 --> 02:39:39,160
Speaker 4: give me, give me just oh my god, it can't

3461
02:39:39,200 --> 02:39:42,280
Speaker 4: because with the playoff expansion, now, if you lose Week one,

3462
02:39:42,680 --> 02:39:44,280
Speaker 4: you have plenty of time to make the ground up.

3463
02:39:44,360 --> 02:39:46,480
Speaker 4: So you know, in my mind, it's all the more

3464
02:39:46,520 --> 02:39:49,359
Speaker 4: reason you get out there and from the outset you establish,

3465
02:39:49,720 --> 02:39:51,840
Speaker 4: oh my god, we're gonna get to see you know,

3466
02:39:51,920 --> 02:39:54,960
Speaker 4: Oklahoma versus Oregon. That sort of like give me, give

3467
02:39:55,000 --> 02:39:57,480
Speaker 4: me big matchups that everybody's gonna flock to to want

3468
02:39:57,480 --> 02:39:59,360
Speaker 4: to see that feel like what Bowl season used to

3469
02:39:59,440 --> 02:40:00,560
Speaker 4: be from the outset.

3470
02:40:01,200 --> 02:40:05,440
Speaker 2: Totally, that'd be awesome. Fake. But Week zero I just

3471
02:40:05,600 --> 02:40:07,800
Speaker 2: like to name Week zero. It's just.

3472
02:40:10,120 --> 02:40:14,360
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous because it started with like, I will throw

3473
02:40:14,400 --> 02:40:16,600
Speaker 3: a couple of game. We'll send you know, Notre Dame

3474
02:40:16,720 --> 02:40:21,440
Speaker 3: er Bollsted College to Ireland and we'll throw a game,

3475
02:40:21,560 --> 02:40:24,640
Speaker 3: and we'll I know, we'll have a couple other games.

3476
02:40:24,680 --> 02:40:28,640
Speaker 3: And then people are so crazy about football that they go, hey, man,

3477
02:40:28,720 --> 02:40:29,520
Speaker 3: Fresno State.

3478
02:40:29,640 --> 02:40:33,000
Speaker 5: I'm in, oh yeah, right, yes, absolutely so.

3479
02:40:33,320 --> 02:40:35,640
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, there's like four games

3480
02:40:35,680 --> 02:40:39,720
Speaker 3: like Louisiana Lafayette and you go, all right, water boy,

3481
02:40:39,920 --> 02:40:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm in for water Boy. And people will go, all right,

3482
02:40:44,240 --> 02:40:47,199
Speaker 3: well there's five games. Now you gotta call it a week.

3483
02:40:47,240 --> 02:40:52,879
Speaker 3: We'll call it week zero. Like it's like college football light.

3484
02:40:52,240 --> 02:40:55,279
Speaker 5: I need full fat. Let's go from day one.

3485
02:40:57,080 --> 02:40:59,520
Speaker 2: All right. I gotta give this to you boys, I

3486
02:40:59,600 --> 02:41:01,320
Speaker 2: mean you earned it, this.

3487
02:41:01,320 --> 02:41:03,320
Speaker 1: Whole fourteen wins in a Super Bowl appearance.

3488
02:41:03,600 --> 02:41:12,720
Speaker 11: Here you go the Raiders, Ah September eighth, four oh five,

3489
02:41:14,280 --> 02:41:20,080
Speaker 11: on a sun splashed afternoon in Los Angeles Raiders.

3490
02:41:20,400 --> 02:41:22,320
Speaker 2: Chargers look at that.

3491
02:41:25,240 --> 02:41:28,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they say they expected to be back by then.

3492
02:41:29,440 --> 02:41:31,520
Speaker 1: I will see it's.

3493
02:41:31,360 --> 02:41:32,920
Speaker 2: Maybe soft opening for heart.

3494
02:41:33,120 --> 02:41:37,320
Speaker 5: That was probably pushful thinking on fans party.

3495
02:41:37,640 --> 02:41:40,360
Speaker 2: Uh at Baltimore.

3496
02:41:42,040 --> 02:41:58,680
Speaker 3: Home, Panthersky Home, Browns at Denver Home, Stealers at Rams Home,

Speaker 3: Kansas City at Cincinnati at Miami Home, Rocos at Kansas City,

3498
02:42:11,160 --> 02:42:22,240
Speaker 3: at Tampa Home, Atlanta Home, Jacksonville at New Orleans home Raiders.

3499
02:42:23,400 --> 02:42:24,960
Speaker 1: But they are the Raiders.

3500
02:42:24,440 --> 02:42:28,320
Speaker 2: Who's Who's home Raiders? I just wanted to say Raiders

Speaker 5: the schedule, all right, yes, yes, So.

3504
02:42:34,920 --> 02:42:38,600
Speaker 4: I had them generously going like so, my prediction all year,

3505
02:42:38,600 --> 02:42:40,840
Speaker 4: without going through the numbers, has been that they're about

3506
02:42:40,840 --> 02:42:42,880
Speaker 4: a seven win team, is what I think. The way

3507
02:42:42,879 --> 02:42:45,320
Speaker 4: we just did it, I had them generously at seven

3508
02:42:45,360 --> 02:42:47,200
Speaker 4: wins going into the last week, so I could see

3509
02:42:47,200 --> 02:42:48,200
Speaker 4: them getting to eight wins.

3510
02:42:48,400 --> 02:42:53,680
Speaker 5: Eight he had Yeah, I had them at six. Okay, okay, so.

3511
02:42:53,840 --> 02:42:56,240
Speaker 2: I can find savvy if I do my due diligence,

3512
02:42:56,280 --> 02:42:57,039
Speaker 2: I can find yeah.

3513
02:42:57,120 --> 02:42:58,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's my thing is if I can

3514
02:42:58,840 --> 02:43:01,040
Speaker 5: if I can get them six I can steal another

3515
02:43:01,040 --> 02:43:02,080
Speaker 5: win somewhere, you know.

3516
02:43:02,360 --> 02:43:06,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, I didn't answer because I'm a schedule nut.

3517
02:43:06,920 --> 02:43:10,360
Speaker 3: As you know, I'm a weirdo. The uh, the NBA

3518
02:43:10,520 --> 02:43:13,720
Speaker 3: came out this week. I actually did w's and l's

3519

3521
02:43:20,920 --> 02:43:26,800
Speaker 3: make it entertaining, I have my producer can juggle, so

02:43:26,879 --> 02:43:29,600
Speaker 3: I had him juggling in the background, so he was

3523
02:43:29,680 --> 02:43:31,000
Speaker 3: juggling Clement times.

3524
02:43:31,160 --> 02:43:31,959
Speaker 5: Oh that's great.
