So 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.200 shout out to Nick right for chiming and showing us 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:55.560 some love. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.760 My man. It's always to catch strays. Nice to catch 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.040 strays during a shout out, which I think Nick just 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.120 did there on the Chiefs tip.

Hey, when you do want to start 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.880 checking things out, you go straight to voicemail sometimes, and 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.640 that's where today's show always begins, straight to voicemail. Brought 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.640 to you by Boost Mobile. These are the things that 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:50.600 we are not talking about today. But man, this is 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.280 big news. Tampa had a problem with one of the 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.560 best players in the sport. His hold in paid out 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.760 Vita Veya a one year, thirty million dollar exit. He's 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.080 got to be happy about that. I know other teams 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.040 who thought of maybe adding Theya through trade are not 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.000 too excited about that. But that's a big win for Tampa. Indeed, 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.000 Dan Campbell said he's going back from a gallon of 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.000 coffee to a half gallon of coffee. That's probably good 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.040 for all involved, you know, certainly Detroit media. It'll be 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.600 commer press conferences, you hope. I'm still a gallon of 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.520 day man myself. I don't know about you, Tai. If 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.840 you're a coffee guy, yeah. 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:31.120 I'm a zero zero milligrams a day at caffeine. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.440 A gallon sounds aggressive. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.799 It's you know, I'm a Celsius cause I shouldn't say 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.720 zero milligrams of caffeine because I get it in during 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.120 the workout via Celsius. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.240 But a gallon that sounds super aggressive. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:45.519 Man. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.320 So look, Dan Campbell, who obviously has had some tremendous 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.560 success in Detroit. Love to see him taking care of 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:58.520 his health. Yo, damon, you're a gallon a day. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.200 I'll drink like two carass of coffee a day. I 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.600 drink coffee and then when it gets room temperature, I 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.040 throw ice in there. Now it's iced coffee. I could 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.519 drink coffee almost every single time I grab a drink. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.079 As someone who just formally met you a couple of 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.600 days ago, I do care about your health and safety, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.640 so I would advise you to cut back on that. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.560 Take a page out of bite your kneecaps. Dan Campbell's 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:23.880 booking and cut down on that. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.680 Well, I wonder if he'll bite fewer kneecaps. I wonder 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.959 if this will mean the lines will be less aggressive 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.920 on fourth down. Now, I wonder if this gameplay I 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.360 really do. I keep my coffee clean, though only black. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.000 I don't go with any cream or sugar. And that's 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.440 where coffee really starts getting you. You start throwing in the 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.200 cream the sugar, and next thing you know, you're drinking 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.600 a milkshake. Fellow coffee drinkers of the world understand exactly 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.840 what I'm talking about here and the one thing that 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.520 we are not going to talk about, but we got 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.000 to watch a little bit because it's funny Draymond getting 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.800 scared by a lionhead goose. Watch this. Here you go, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.480 as you knew co host Draymond for your podcast. There 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.360 you go. It's good footage right there. You know who 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.480 really enjoyed that, Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole, huge, huge fan 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.200 of that Goose man. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.560 That's a gift that's going to live forever for all 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.159 the people who want to come at Draymond throughout the season. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.360 What I expect to be a little bit of a 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.760 bumpy ride of a season for the Golden State Warriors 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.920 that will make its rounds on social media. So I'm 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.240 excited for that as someone who has been critical of Draymond. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.160 Especially how he did my man Katie dirty. 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.960 You know what I've always said about Draymond, and feel 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.840 free to use this on your show, because I think 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.040 it's the best way to sum up Draymond. Whatever your 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:43.480 opinion is about the guy, you're right if you think 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.520 he's fantastic, if you think he's a winner, if you 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:46.800 think he's a Hall of Famer and one of the 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.200 greatest defenders of all time. You're right if you think 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.720 he is a destructive teammate, if you think he's taken 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.000 things off the Warriors table as much as he them on. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.560 If you think that he's a pain in the rear 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.360 end and he's completely self absorbed, but you're right. You 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.560 know it's your right about all of it. He is. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.520 He's been very interesting. He's helped pay the bills around here, 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.880 that is for sure. By the way, when it comes 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.240 to paying the bills around here, thanks again to boost Mobile. 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.760 And we want to remind everyone that the What's Right 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.480 mail bag is accessible. What's Right mail Bag at gmail 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.240 dot com. Leave a comment in the chat and let 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.159 us have it. A couple of fill in hosts just 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.640 sitting there like two easy targets for a an audience 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.320 with nice. I gotta tell you, we both we both admitted. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.479 We we admitted to each other. We've checked out the 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.280 comments section and it was a big bag of uh 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.560 see in two weeks. Everybody, we don't do fill in hosts, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.600 and hey, these guys are better than your average fill 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.680 in hosts. So we thank you very much Internet for 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.760 your two and a half star review. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.120 Listen, I don't take it personally because when you're sitting 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.599 in a chair of one Nicholas, right, I know we 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.359 use this as a cliche, big shoes to fill and 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.080 so the moment you don't see him on your screen, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:02.840 it's like. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.440 I do says I'm out of here. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.359 But we do got to show some love to the 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.560 people who did enjoy themselves. It was our first time 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.400 working together, and so we're trying to build rapport chemistry 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.000 on the fly as we tackle some of the biggest 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.359 topics in sports. And you know, I don't want to 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.200 break my arm, break my hand, pat in our own backs. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.000 But I thought we did a nice job. I just 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.279 came away enjoying it absolutely. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.320 Yeah. So I have friends who were the harshest critics 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.240 of my career, and they're like, hey, how long you 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.800 been working with ty? I said, how long was Tuesday's show? Like, Hey, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.040 you guys had pretty good chemistry. And I agree, So 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.960 let's get it back into the lab and see what 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.200 the chemistry comes up with today. I know we've got 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.440 some really interesting stuff. Something that you're very passionate about 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.320 is where we're starting here today. All right. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.440 So I'm doing my own thing last night, minding my 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.200 own business. 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.160 I'm a New York Yankees fan. 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.880 So I'm watching my team once again failed to come 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.080 through for unders in scoring position. They did win the game, 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.320 but all of a sudden coming across my Twitter timeline 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.720 was this blockbuster trade. Now, we had been waiting for 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.040 some Peyton Watson news and we got it last night. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.360 So got the trade, and in this massive trade the 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.880 Calves they get Peyton Watson from the Nuggets. They also 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.800 get a twenty twenty second second or twenty twenty seven 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.760 second rounder from the Clippers that's going to the Wizards. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.080 Cam Whitmore goes to the Wizards. Then you get the Nuggets. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.520 So we're like, all right, traded Peyton Watson, Nuggets gotta 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.840 be coming up with something good here. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:38.800 No, they get. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.520 All they got was an unprotected twenty thirty one Caves 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.680 first round pick. You got a twenty thirty two King 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.080 second rounder and Julian reached from the Wizards. The Clippers 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.200 get Max Strus, the Wizards get trade man from the Calves, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.760 and you got a second rounder going to them. And 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.920 so why I felt so passionately about this is when 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:05.119 people crush players for changing teams. Well, back in my day, 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.640 the Stars were loyal to one franchise. Watch what the 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.920 Denver Nuggets have done post twenty twenty three championship, and 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.560 you'll immediately find it silly that you can be critical 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.760 of an athlete for staying in a bad marriage that 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.960 didn't merit the best of results. Because what's gonna end 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.320 up happening here? If Jokic does stay with the Nuggets, 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.120 you'll look back on his career and say, eh, I 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.240 look at him as a guy who should have won more. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.760 You'll disparage him because his legacy is that of being 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.200 one of the greatest players of all time. Bring a 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.080 three time League MVP and despite all of those credentials, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.160 all he came away from it was with one championship. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.240 That'll negative toy impact his legacy. And so it is 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.000 a horror fying day. And one of our producers he's 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.000 a Nuggets fan. I asked him before the show, just 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.400 how's your day going, and he said, I'm disgusted. I 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.840 feel terrible because what you're watching is the Denver Nuggets 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:10.360 front office continue to waste away the prime of a 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.400 guy who I would still argue is the best player 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.920 in basketball, and this trade is continued. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:17.080 Evidence of it. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.080 I know we'll get to the second Apron in a moment, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.439 but what a what a travesty man, what a nightmares 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.119 of an evening. If you are a fan of the Denver. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.880 Nuggets, nothing gets in the way of a good time 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.800 more than getting the bill for that good time, right 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.680 and you're handed the bill for your night and you're like, 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.000 oh man, we got to pay this. And we will 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.800 get into the second apron and the aspect of me 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.360 having to understand one of the most difficult to understand 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.440 salary cap wrinkles and CBA wrinkles in any sport. It 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.360 is such punitive damage the Second Apron, and it might 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.439 as well be called the Joe Laka brule. The Second 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.319 Apron was basically invented to break up the Warriors because 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.040 everyone basically and Nick Wright is a part of this 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.079 misinformation that was put out there that then the Warriors 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.800 actually did something wrong when they added Kevin Durant. They 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.320 didn't do anything wrong. They had an incredible draft and 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.080 developed situation going on with Steph Curry and Draymond Green 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.240 and at the time Harrison Barnes and things just they 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:23.160 hit on so much. Draymond Green, those players all got 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:28.400 so expensive, and then because of a growing NBA media deal, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.280 there was a huge bump in the salary cap in 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.160 the one year that Durant was sitting there, and they 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.040 were able to put together the Hampton five and the 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.800 rest is history. Well, the NBA wanted to kill its 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.120 own Golden State goose, and so the second Apron might 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.480 as well be called the Joe Lacob tax. And what 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:49.160 bothers me is the Joe Lacob tax isn't punitive because 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:55.240 teams have been financially irresponsible. It's basically, you are being 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.920 levied this huge tax for what in the Nuggets case 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:06.480 would be a desire to retain the asset that you developed. Yes, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.440 you know, I mean Watson is the twenty three year 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.160 old wing that you want, and the Nuggets are walking 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:18.280 away from this player because to retain him after the 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.600 second apron, it's like you're paying him super max money. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.480 You want to talk about things in the NBA that 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.679 really really pissed me off, The fact that we have 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:35.800 contractual pay obligations attached directly to postseason placement that media 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.960 votes on. The NBA has just done it all so wrong. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.800 They've done I'm on them all for players making as 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.040 much money as possible, but the amount of money that 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.360 it now requires to hold on to a group of 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.600 stars and then the fringe players around them that really 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.720 make the stars shine the brightest. Because this is about fit. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:00.280 This is about basketball team, not just in basketball individuals 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.640 and how their salaries fit together. You want to collect 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.120 a team built around how the players fit together. And 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.000 basketball has just put the financial cart before the actual 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:17.199 basketball horse, and the second apron is like an admission 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.839 that we need to protect these owners from themselves when 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.120 they're still making money hand over fist. It drives me nuts, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.120 and you can say that the Nuggets are pissing you off. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.120 I get it, I do, but it's really not their 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.040 fault to walk away from a concept of all right, 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.000 well so if we hold on to you know, Watson, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.880 we don't make any money this year. That's how much 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.679 that tax is being levied against us. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.559 So two things, two things can be true. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:51.240 One is the Nuggets, after winning their championship, have botched 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.920 the Nikole Jochic experience. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:53.400 Yes. 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.640 The second thing is the second Apron is a disaster 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:57.920 that I don't understand. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.600 Because here's the deal. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.120 Kristin Brown is going to be the most hated player 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.720 in Denver today simply because he was offered a contract 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.520 last year and accepted it. And what it led to 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:18.240 was the following offseason the Nuggets losing Peyton Watson for nothing. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.800 So everyone's going to kill the Nuggets as I just 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.559 did for the Brown contract. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:27.280 But here's the deal. You can make the argument Kristin. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:32.040 Brown going into his contract seat or going into getting 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:36.440 his contract, had a better year than Peyton Watson had. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.280 This past season, Brown compared to Watson, averaged more points, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.920 more rebounds, morsists about the same three point percentage, more 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:50.080 efficient on twos and started more games. And so while understandably, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.280 as I just laid out, the frustration can be on 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.760 Denver's front office because by the way, they had the 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.600 option of just saying, bleep it, we're going all in 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.840 on this team. You got the best player in basketball. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.600 Screw your tax bill, We'll pay it because it's worth it. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:11.680 But since you know, my real problem is this second apron. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:17.640 You're penalizing teams for drafting and developing players. And they 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.080 should not have had to make a choice between Brown 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.440 and Watson, with the choice coming a year before, you 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.920 got a chance to see what Watson could become. And 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.840 we saw, you know, smallest sample size, but he was 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.200 really good for them, and one of the reasons why 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.800 they got bounced in the first round was because he 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.960 heard his hamstring. And so I just get so sick 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.840 and tired, so sick and tired of this being phrased 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.400 as you know, we want to increase parody in the NBA, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.960 where it's like, no, you actually want to curb how 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.400 much these players can make and put more money in 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:57.840 the pockets of these owners. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.360 And this is the. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.400 Excuse they have to break up championship teams because you 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.320 can't sit here and tell me. What helps parody is 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.360 stopping the Nuggets from resigning Peyton Watson. What helped parody 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.960 is stopping the Knicks from resigning Mitchell Robinson. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.360 Like that's helping the Nuggets is sending to contender and 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:25.160 champion is parody? That is like that is what you wanted, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.400 and so you kind of got what you wanted, and 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.880 now they basically get pinioned under their own success. All right, 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.760 So I think that both of us are solution based hosts. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.280 So here's my solution. The number one problem in the 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.360 NBA is load management. Yes, I had solved load management. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.080 It's so simple. Why the NBA cannot figure it out 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:51.040 is beyond me. Start your regular season earlier and your 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.920 regular season later. If the NBA Finals don't end in 0:15:55.080 --> 0:16:00.720 June but rather July, nobody's gonna care. What you need 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.920 is more time. Don't stack the games on top of 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.960 each other back to backs hurt your veteran players. You 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:11.520 need more time. Guess what, I just invented it. Instead 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.880 of starting your season in late October, start your season 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.600 in early October. So there you go, Adam Silver, I 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.040 hope you're watching. I just solved the biggest problem in 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.800 your sport. I think the second biggest problem in your 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.640 sport is this second apron and I'd like to solve 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:32.800 that for you too. Players drafted do not count dollar 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.480 for dollar the same way as players that you acquire 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:43.000 during via trade or free agency. That the if you 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.760 bring in a player via free agency, you trade for 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.240 a player, you got to trade for that contract, you 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.000 got to eat that whole meal. But when you want 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.520 to turn around and re sign a player that you 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:59.880 have drafted, that salary, when it becomes absorbitant, should not 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.800 quite dollar for dollar hit your books the same way 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.719 a free agent salary would. Can we do that? I mean, 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.560 I just like the NBA has major problems. They got 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.560 very rich, smart people thinking about this. I am just 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.080 a fill in host and I freaking figured it out already. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:20.919 What is the problem, Because then the unintended consequence becomes. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.840 You know, Wemby takes less money than he could have 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.960 gotten next year, so next year he could have gotten 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.639 fifty million more, and he's viewed as like this saying 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:38.560 he's a hero, whereas Kat who's due for an extension 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.439 with the Knicks if he takes the most money or 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.720 any this to say, young superstar who hasn't won yet 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:49.520 takes more money, they become villified. They're not given their 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.800 to you know, they're not on a team friendly deal. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.600 Do you actually care. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.520 About winning championships or is it about getting the bag? 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.320 And that just feels unfair to me, And so. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.240 This is John Winston's fault, right, this is the Brunsening 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.200 of the NBA. You're going to be asked to take 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.959 less to build more around you, and that is unfair 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.920 to hand that build to the players when there's more 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.320 than enough money to go around to everyone. We see 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.080 that everywhere. And these billionaires again, I don't think people 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.600 understand the difference between million and billion. That's a big difference. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.200 It's a really big difference. It's not one hundred million, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.520 that's a thousand million dollars to be a billionaire. It's 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.120 what to count to a million. If you just started one, two, three, four, 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.359 it would take me eleven days to get to a million, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.840 counting twenty four hours a day. To get to a billion, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.880 it would take me thirty three years. That's the difference. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:44.720 So the intrinsic value of NBA teams goes up with 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.119 every single TV contract with every new deal. And you know, 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.600 I think one of the biggest problems, you know, not 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.480 just with sports, but with our country. And you could 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.520 even say, well, this is you know, society and sports 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.720 or microcosm, blah blah blah. It's just having ring every 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.639 single dollar out of every moment for the maximum value 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:08.040 of it is just it's suffocating people. It's suffocating you 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.960 at the grocery store. It's suffocating you as you're buying nuggets, tickets. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.359 You know, it's suffocating you as you're watching your team. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.359 This everyone having to make the most amount of money 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.560 at all times, no exception to the rule from the 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.080 starting power forward to the price of that bucket of popcorn. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.639 It is it's ugly, it's too greedy, and there's no 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:29.200 going back. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.119 And by the way, that we haven't even hit on 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.360 what might be the most important aspect of this story, 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.919 and it's well, what does jo kids think about, you know, 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:46.200 everything happening around him, Because he's thinking about horses, right, 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.840 he's also thinking about that sixty two million dollar player 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.520 option he's got next year, which he can opt out 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.920 of for a mega contract, or he can test free agency. 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.919 And so for the first nugget, fans. 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.359 The last couple of years have had every reason to 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.720 have trepidation about Yolkic and his standing within the organization, 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.920 coaches being fired and everything that's taking place with them. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.359 This is a day where you're hitting the panic button 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:16.640 because you have. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.919 Seemingly moved further and further. 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.240 Oh, you might be the furthest away from being a 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.240 contender since you won the title back in twenty three. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:30.879 And so if Jokic values winning championships and that is 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:31.880 the number one. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.640 Priority, how does he look at what's. 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.879 Happening in Denver and say, yeah, that's the place I 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.120 want to sign my next contract with. 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.280 I was unprotected twenty thirty one, supposed to help him 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:45.320 in twenty twenty six. 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.439 Now right like in the prime of his career. 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.280 Yeah, it is. It's it's a little ridiculous. 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.760 The Nuggets are still a good team. As long as 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:58.280 Aaron Gordon is healthy and you've got Jamal Murray, there's 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:02.560 still a good team. Christian b after getting that contract, 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.640 was awful last year, so maybe he's better. Cam Johnson 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.280 I thought had a rough season. Maybe you can flip 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.560 him because he's an expiring contract. 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:15.400 So there are still there are still ways the Nuggets 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.920 can be an interesting team next year, but I don't 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.840 know how you look at them and say, yeah, they're 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.840 gonna win the West. Here's the thing you should because 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:25.840 they have Jokics. 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:31.800 Good is available to anyone in the NBA. Greatness is 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.720 being denied. Good is available. Greatness is being denied. And 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.320 should you actually go out of your way to achieve greatness, 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.800 it will be stripped from you due to financial constraints 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.560 more than your own incompetence, or your own bad choices, 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.959 or your own inability to retain your own talent. Is 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:53.400 it's a little bit backwards. And what the NBA consistently 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:57.640 gets backwards is we have an actual basketball conversation here, 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:03.000 but we have to sift through files and paperwork and 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.120 the accounting of how teams are put together more than 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.119 just hey, how do they actually fit together? From a 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.679 basketball standpoint, due the Cavaliers are big winners in this 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.639 twenty three year old Watson is the wing that you 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:20.359 want with more helps gives them, you know, and they 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:25.360 give up nothing of importance to add two good young 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.960 players to a team that was pretty good last year. 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.639 So the Cavaliers, just from a basketball standpoint, are the 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:36.680 big winners in this, so you know, it's I'm so 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.159 tired of the business of sports getting in the way 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.119 of sports. 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:43.159 And I want to hit on the cast for a 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.560 moment because it's funny, like the day after they emerge 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.280 as big winners, they're not even the least story despite 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.760 the fact that they were an Eastern Conference finals team. 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:55.040 But yeah, this is a big move for them. 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.760 It's a home run because, as you just pointed out, 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:02.840 it's one of the missing ingredients. And they swung on 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.880 a trade last two trade deadlines ago for DeAndre Hunter 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.000 that didn't work. They tried to do it during the 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.399 draft with Acoro they got him. I believe it was 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.840 the fifth pick that didn't work. I thought best off 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.639 season imaginable is you get Lebron to come home he 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.560 saw a lot of your issues, or some pipe dream 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:26.560 world trade for Kevin Durant that obviously doesn't happen. But 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.880 of all the case scenarios that were realistic, this ends 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.000 up being one of the best and so good for 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.760 the Calves and an Eastern Conference that they're seeing has 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:39.719 gotten better. Right, Like we know, Jalen Brown and Lebron 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.840 going to Philly, the Knicks of the ragning champs and 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.160 the Knicks smoked them. The Raptors at some point might 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.399 end up with Kawhi Leonard if this investigation ever comes 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.679 to a halt. And so they had to make a 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:52.960 move and they did so, so you know, credit to 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:56.320 them for doing that, and then we would expect Harden's 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:57.760 going to return at some point. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.720 Have we talked half the show on this one subject 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:03.679 pretty much? Shoot, should we start moving on? 0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.480 Yeah, of course. But I'm an NBA guy, soyah. 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.840 I love these stories and it's it's fun. It's not 0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:16.840 fun for our producer Daniel Face pumping this entire segment. 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.320 But yeah, let's go to some football. It's gotta hurt. 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.680 It's gotta hurt. Shoot you you know what, should we 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:22.840 hit him with the boost Mobile. 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:23.920 Let's do it. 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:25.600 Hit boost mobile. 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:27.479 Let's talk to you about boost mobile. 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:32.880 Because if you ever notice that everything keeps going up, 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:38.800 Rent's going up, streaming services, they're going even your second aprons, 0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:43.600 tax bills, tax bills, player salaries, they're all going up. 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.239 Denver title ode certainly going up because they are, you know, 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.440 going in the other direction. But even your favorite burrito 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:55.879 spot suddenly think salsa should cost extra but with boost Mobile, you' 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:56.920 and your phone bill. 0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:59.560 They don't have to play the will this go up soon? 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.480 Game? Why because boost Mobile has an unlimited talk, sex, 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.520 and data plan at a price that will never go up. 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:08.800 In fact, it's the same price you'll play for life. 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.800 So switch now for unlimited wireless at a price that 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.000 will never go up. 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:14.520 Only at boost Mobile. 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:19.440 After thirty gigabytes, customers may experience lower speeds. Customers will 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:21.720 pay twenty five dollars per month as long as they 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:25.240 remain active on the boost Mobile Unlimited plan. 0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:31.400 Jalen Hurts back in the crosshairs after a joint practice 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:36.160 where he's what picked off three times? Oh my goodness, Philadelphia, 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:40.000 New England joint practice ahead of their preseason game on Saturday, 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:45.119 and Jalen Hurts nineteen to twenty seven, no touchdowns, three interceptions, 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:48.719 one of them being a pick six, and you know, 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.520 immediately somebody in Philadelphia says, you know, in the twenty 0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:53.560 twenty four training camp he went three hundred and five 0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:59.840 straight passes without an interception. Okay, all right here we are. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.800 Wait, can I say something about that real quick? 0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:02.120 Yes? 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:06.200 Yes, because we're filling in for Nick, and I remember 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:10.680 Nick's take about that training camp where he didn't throw 0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:14.080 any interceptions, and Nick actually found that to be a 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.879 bad thing. I remember Nick saying this is bad news 0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:22.920 because it feels like and I'm paraphrasing, So I apologize 0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.080 Nick if I'm getting a little bit of this wrong. 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:28.080 But I remember something along the lines of it means 0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:31.439 he's not being aggressive enough. You would like to see 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:35.199 more interceptions because you want him to take chances. You 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.560 want him going throwing the ball down the field, you 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.720 want him spreading it around, you want him throwing it 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:41.960 across the middle of the field, which we know he 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.080 has a propensity not to do. And so two years 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:49.240 ago Nick found this to be slightly concerning. So I 0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:53.560 would be curious what's Nick's take now seeing it. Yesterday 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.320 he threw three interceptions, one which came on a tip path, 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.680 So give him a little bit of you know, courtesy there. 0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.040 But yeah, man, it's got some hiccups. 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.000 Okay, So I guess I have to say the words. 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.160 I don't like saying these words. I agree with Nick. 0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:12.600 I think interceptions. I think interceptions have been so publicly 0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.520 vilified and they shouldn't be. Sometimes an interception deep down 0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:18.240 the field is as good as a punt on special teams. 0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:22.040 Not all interceptions are created equal, and interceptions are the 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.200 price of doing business aggressively as a quarterback. I don't 0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:30.240 think interceptions are the single worst thing that can happen 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.919 in a football You know where, when, Where on the 0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:36.760 game clock, where on the scoreboard, where on the field. 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:40.760 It all happens. Not all interceptions are created equal, and 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:45.600 among the most benign interceptions in the history of football 0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.480 are all the ones that you throw in training camp, 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.960 which is just practice. It doesn't matter. Let me ask 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.200 you a question here, ty, Do you know how many 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:59.040 interceptions Dan Marino threw in nineteen ninety eight in Dolphins 0:27:59.040 --> 0:27:59.639 training camp. 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:01.639 It's going to be a high number. 0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:05.760 No one knows because we didn't have Twitter, and we 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:10.119 weren't suffocating ourselves with the NFL's information twenty four hours 0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:15.520 a day. It didn't matter. It didn't matter. I care 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:18.960 about three training camp interceptions as much as I care 0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:21.240 about three training camp touchdowns. 0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:26.560 It doesn't mean anything. It's training camp. It's practice. Go ahead, 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.679 make your mistakes in practice. You'll learn from a stade. 0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:35.919 We are sitting there trying to box score practice. It's ridiculous. 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:36.679 We're carrying. 0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.080 So I'm excited because this might be the first time 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.520 where we legitimately have a disagreement. 0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:47.280 On the show. And here here is where I will 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:47.920 push back. 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:54.120 So I don't typically care about training camp practices and 0:28:54.280 --> 0:29:00.000 joint practices unless you've had significant changes in your off season, 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:03.840 and like I don't know, a new offensive coordinator, like 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:07.640 losing your best weapon, like bringing in new guys like 0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:12.520 Mackay Lemon, and you know, having Devonte Smith, he's elevated 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.959 on the depth chart, and those two receivers have not 0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:20.040 been pressent present because they're dealing with hamstring issues. And 0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:23.560 so in a year when you've got massive pressure your 0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:24.400 head coaches on. 0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:25.000 A hot seat. 0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.640 People are ready to run you out of Philadelphia, and 0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.920 we're asking you to run a new offense where we 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.240 want to see you under center more, we want to 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.320 see you throw the ball over the field more, we 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:37.880 want to see you be a guy that can lead 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:41.680 the team back to the Super Bowl. I do care 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.480 a lot about some of the struggles because a lot 0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:48.600 of the situation has changed around him, and he's coming 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.440 off of a very very disappointing year. 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:53.240 And so while while it. 0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.880 Might not be the biggest deal in the world, the 0:29:55.960 --> 0:30:00.920 actual intercepted passes. I think the circumstances surrounding it would 0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.360 have you on high alert if you're an Egles fan. 0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:06.200 Okay, so we do agree on this, We're not really disagree. 0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.400 We're sort of kind of veering off on what we did. 0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:12.080 Jalen Hurts his biggest problem is not those interceptions. It 0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.640 is all the moving parts. This is his sixth offensive 0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:18.280 coordinator going into his seventh NFL season. That's a bigger 0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:22.680 problem for him. Uh, the fact that a relationship with 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:27.040 an A plus receiver deteriorated and he wasn't able to 0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:31.320 salvage that through either drinking gallons of coffee together, or 0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:33.880 going out to dinner together, or going to the club together, 0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.560 or going to Bible study together, or just doing whatever 0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:40.000 it takes to repair and important. I'm your quarterback, you're 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:43.160 my wide receiver. Relationship with AJ Brown, that's Jalen Hurts 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:48.000 his problem, as much as as the moving coordinators around him. 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.400 And of course it's all nestled in the always comfortable 0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.600 sports city of Philadelphia, which apparently is dying to forget. 0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:59.920 And here's the thing. I'm a little older, I'm a 0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.959 officially old enough to remember the twenty twenty four season 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.720 when Jalen Hurts went four to zero in the playoffs 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:11.360 and won the Super Bowl. Yes, I mean, by the way, Lebron, 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.000 this is what you're signing up for, dude. Yeah, I 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:18.640 won a Super Bowl and they are just knives out 0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:23.960 for him. Still not good enough for us, even though 0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:26.640 the offensive line isn't what it used to be, This 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:30.160 defense isn't what it used to be. New coordinator every 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:36.360 five minutes around here, it's it's it's it's nuts how 0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.080 a guy reaches the mountaintop and then they're just looking 0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.920 for ways to disregard you. I think Jalen Hurts is 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:44.760 a pretty darn good quarterbacks. 0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:48.240 So I agree with you, and I have argued that 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:53.080 he is maybe the most disrespected quarterback in football. And 0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.840 it's based a lot on like how it looks like 0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:59.840 he's not the prettiest thing to watch the tush push. 0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.360 Is he really good or is it a product of 0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:07.280 all of the talent around him? We give Howie Roseman 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.880 all the credit. No one wants to get you know 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:13.480 what's so funny? So apparently Nick Sirianni isn't any good 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.440 Jalen Hurst isn't any good. But all they do is 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.400 when seventy percent of their games they go to two 0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:22.160 Super Bowls and win one. So somebody's might gotta be good, 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.040 Like the two most important positions, somebody's got to be good. 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.400 But I'm when the Olyfall teams would kill for that 0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:28.360 level of failure. 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:34.120 Absolutely, It's just that in Philly, when it's bad, it's 0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.920 real bad, like the end of season losing five of 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:39.760 six and getting dusted in the playoffs by the Bucks, 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.280 and then the way last year went obviously was underwhelming. 0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.040 And so again, while I agree with you that I 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.200 think there is a bit of an unfair standard when 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:56.120 it comes to Jalen Hurts, I tend to treat the 0:32:56.200 --> 0:33:00.440 preseason and training camp a little bit more seriously when 0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:04.120 there are a bunch of moving parts, knowing that this 0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:06.440 is and you know, we were supposed to talk about 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:09.040 Nick Sirianni like your coach is on the hottest seat 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:12.000 in the league and if you guys don't deliver, like 0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.800 there are going to be massive changes that happen next 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:18.440 off season, a year after massive changes happened this past 0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:21.560 offseason that we can directly link back to you and 0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:25.600 your inability, as you just pointed out, to repair the 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.640 relationship with your stud receiver, and especially if he goes 0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.400 on to New England and him and Drake May are 0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:35.240 cooking and they're lighting it up. Think about what the 0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:36.680 headlines are going to be. 0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:40.720 Then it's they'll be loud. We do know that. We 0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:42.400 do know that. By the way, A J. Brown caught 0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:46.560 a team high seven passes with the starting offense on Wednesday, 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:47.840 So I'm guess that and I guess, And that just 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:49.920 ratcheted everything up a little bit too, right. 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:53.280 And then the quote when aj is asked about like, oh, 0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.200 you know going up against Villy, He's like, yeah, I've 0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:57.640 spoken to my teammates and they're like, how about Jealand 0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:00.720 Hurts And he's like, nah, I haven't really spoken him yet. 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:04.320 It's there is the there, it is, there's the problem. 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.280 This is how we got here, right. 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:11.120 Yeah. Absolutely, But it's a fun storyline. 0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:16.920 Listen, Eagles go out there and win the Super Bowl again, 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.520 we'll be having the same conversations about Jalen Hurris. You 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:21.400 and I would be defending him, and then the media 0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:22.480 be saying, oh, he's not that good. 0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:26.680 It feels like people think that, you know, a player 0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:30.799 eventually reaches his Madden rating and then there's never going 0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:35.200 to be a backslide like they reach they reach the 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.799 peak of their super prime and then nothing is going 0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.759 to knock them off that super prime at all, and 0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:45.000 everything is going to go forward. Progress is not linear. 0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.520 Even the good ones take step backwards in sometimes in 0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:50.759 some ways. And you know, I guess this kind of 0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:54.480 brings us to c J. Stroud Moving on, and you 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.200 want to talk about how situations dictate careers. Here's a 0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.440 career that when we first saw it in his year, 0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:02.680 we were all sort of blown away by how you know, 0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:05.240 duck to water. He just looked like he was ready 0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:09.719 to take over football. Then things started changing around him, 0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:14.040 you know, coaching changes, We've got an awful lot of 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:17.640 injuries to his wide receivers. He developed early chemistry with 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:22.440 Tank Dell, Tank Dell bad injury, Miko Collins bad injury. 0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.600 Then the injuries came to the offensive line and there 0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:30.880 was just massive regression. And progress isn't linear. I still 0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:33.600 think CJ. Stroud is a pretty good quarterback, but the 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:38.080 situation around him as good as that defense became under 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.560 Tamiko Ryans, they haven't been able to just walk that 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.640 tightrope of nothing to worry about on this offense, not 0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.120 at all, And that is what is leading to the 0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:52.839 spotlight on Stroud again. A very good young player who 0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.759 is dedicated to the craft. You don't hear about him 0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.080 being in the club. You hear about him being in 0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:00.600 the film room. He's studying, he's doing all only ken. 0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:02.880 But you got to ride in with the horses that 0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:07.000 brought you there, and the Houston Texans, their horses keep 0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:11.560 getting hurt around him. I like Stroud, but the situation 0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:12.480 isn't what it used to be. 0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:16.640 Yeah, And the problem for him is a couple of things. 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:20.719 One he hasn't gotten his contract yet. The second thing 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:26.439 is I still believe CJ. Stroud can be a really 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:27.279 good quarterback. 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:29.520 But the longer. 0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:35.680 Time elapses between what we now see, which is not good, 0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:39.000 and his rookie season, and you didn't question was that 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:43.040 an aberration? And if you're the Texans, whether it's the 0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:46.440 organization or if you're a fan, you have to be 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:51.239 looking at last year as a wasted opportunity because it's 0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:55.320 like Man Mahomes wasn't there in the playoffs. No, Lamar 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:59.920 the AFC for all intents and purposes, was wide. Oh 0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:04.360 but our quarterback had seven turnovers in two playoff games 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.040 and we were cooked. And by the way, you know 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:11.600 who who else struggled at quarterback during the playoffs last year, 0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:15.000 Drake May and yet they ended up in the Super Bowl. 0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.160 But he just wasn't as bad as CJ. Stroud. 0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:21.160 And when we look at the overall rosters, I'd say 0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.560 Houston's was better than New England. 0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.920 But CJ was as bad as you possibly could be. 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:29.120 And they're seeing that was terrible. 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.600 We's got the yips and then despite having like a 0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:37.000 dominant defense, you ended with disappointment. And so look, I 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:40.040 don't want to pretend it's all CJ offensive line. He 0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:43.040 keeps getting hit, receivers going down, miss ting Dell for 0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:45.720 an entire year last year, and now he's got another 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:49.520 receiver that's hurt. But it's like, man, like we we 0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:52.640 could have been the Seahawks last year, Like that could 0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:57.360 have been us, and yet it wasn't because you were terrible, 0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:01.080 and now we've got to pay you this big contract. 0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:03.879 And so it's like you're at a crossroads. 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.319 If you're the Texans, it's every single quarterback is like 0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.680 running two races at once. How quickly can you figure 0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:14.080 out how to play in this league before your body 0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:17.000 gives out on you? Because this is the ultimate injury sport, 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:19.560 and you know your body's going to give out on 0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:23.759 you or someone who you need desperately's body is going 0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.719 to give out on them. And then things change when 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:31.040 that turns into offensive linemen and valuable receivers. And again 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.759 this all started. You know, we decided to talk about 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.719 this today because of the Jaden Higgins tearing his ACL man, 0:38:37.760 --> 0:38:43.600 and that just that changes things. And it's uh, I 0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:47.520 don't think he is responsible for the struggles of the 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.680 Houston Texans as much as some people want to label 0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.680 it to him. It's circumstances, man, And nobody wants to Again, 0:38:53.880 --> 0:38:56.320 no one wants any nuance. They just want black or white, 0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:57.080 good or bad. 0:38:57.360 --> 0:39:00.719 Yeah, but you almost become a victim of your own success. 0:39:00.760 --> 0:39:03.080 And like when we look back at what he was 0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:07.360 his rookie year, Like before Jaden's rookie season, it was like, oh, CJ, 0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.399 that's the best we've ever seen. And since he has 0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:13.920 not been anything close to that, Damon, it's. 0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:17.959 Like, all right, uh, are you going to prove. 0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:20.920 And what also, and this is gonna sound odd, what 0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:25.520 also hurts him is how tremendous their defenses because, as 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:27.960 I just pointed out, like they should be a contender, 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:30.920 and yet none of us think that they are because 0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:34.520 of the quarterback being the weak link. And you know, 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:39.080 this year, he's got an opportunity to change the narrative. 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.919 But the further we get removed from what we saw 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.319 his rookie year, the less you believe he can tap 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:46.000 back into that. 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.640 By the way, you hear the did you hear about 0:39:48.640 --> 0:39:53.200 the Aziz al Schaier vegetable hoarding story? Have you heard 0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:53.640 about this? 0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:55.920 No? I haven't put me on what's going on? 0:39:56.320 --> 0:40:00.080 The Texans defense has just become ultra competitive, like who 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.480 can take the fastest shower, Who can put their socks 0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:06.719 on the fastest? Who can walk to the meeting room 0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:08.720 the fastest? You have to be like a mall walker. 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:11.040 You're not allowed to break the pace of a walk 0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:15.239 Who can walk to the meeting fastest? Who can acquire 0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:19.960 the most vegetable points in the weekly nutrition plan? And 0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:24.040 apparently Aziz al Shaier has been stealing sweet potatoes and 0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:27.080 vegetables from the commissaries so he can acquire the most 0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:31.840 vegetable points in meal time. So that's that's what I 0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.120 love about football. What I don't love about preseason football 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:38.080 is counting interceptions as like, oh my god, this is 0:40:38.520 --> 0:40:41.360 this is what's going to matter now. The Texans defense 0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:44.479 bonding over vegetable points. That is probably going to matter 0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:47.279 more in the regular season than interceptions. 0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:51.680 You'd rather count pieces of vegetables than you know, total interceptions. 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:56.680 I get it. I think I would. I think I would. Hey, 0:40:56.760 --> 0:41:00.160 everyone watching, leave us questions comments in the chat. We're 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.800 gonna be taking viewer questions at the end of the show. 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:07.160 Let us have it. We got thick skin. We're big boys. 0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.680 What could we be doing better when we come back 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:13.520 on Tuesday Thursday next week. We're looking forward to that 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.279 and maybe even throw a topic suggestion out there for 0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:21.040 the coming NFL season. You can do that too. Shall 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:22.080 we move on down the board? 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.160 Ty, let's do it, man, we got a lot to 0:41:24.200 --> 0:41:26.160 get to. I'm looking at the clock. 0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.879 I'm seriously, we're talking way past the clock here. Overtime's 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:31.799 gonna be a lot overtime unless we pick it up 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:32.680 and start putting it down. 0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:36.080 Let's do it. Man, Let's talk some Travis Hunter. 0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:40.120 So, if I'm to be honest, well, first of all, 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.760 it's ridiculous to question if this guy's a bust. 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:44.240 I mean, he just got into the league. 0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:50.319 But I always felt like he was best suited to 0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:52.600 play one side of the ball. And look, as a 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:55.479 sports fan, it's cool, right if you can play both sides. 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:58.640 We see what's going on with Show Hail Tiny, it's fantastic. 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:02.080 But even with Show him, he's not pitching right now 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:06.279 because he's always dealing with some arm elbow issue. And 0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:11.040 with Travis Hunter coming off of a season where it 0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:14.160 was cut short because of a knee injury, you do 0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:17.640 have to wonder if he is just best suited to 0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:19.840 play one side of the ball and maybe just be 0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:21.200 a gadget player on offense. 0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:22.480 And that's how I feel now. 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:24.919 What I also find to be most interesting and maybe 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:28.799 a little bit instructive is when you watch and you 0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:31.920 read about what's going on in training camp. He's mostly 0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:36.120 being used predominantly on defense, And when you read like 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:41.560 the why, it's like, hey, it's we need high IQ, 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:46.720 high IQ defensive minded players, so it requires more attention 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.080 and we want most of the reps to go there, 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:50.560 and we need you to get a little bit of 0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:54.319 a mental break. And so I think that the expectation 0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:56.560 if you're a jack span is to see him be 0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:01.200 most utilized on defense and then come into some special 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:05.520 packages on offense and that'll set them best up for success. 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.480 They were a top I believe it was top seven 0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:12.480 on both offense and defense, and so I think this 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:15.400 would work fine. But if you're questioning whether or not 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.360 he's a buster already, I think that's ridiculous. 0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:19.400 Yeah, we're way too early to get into that. The 0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:22.160 guy hasn't played twenty professional games yet, so everyone take 0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:27.520 a breath on that. I don't think people understand. And 0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:30.600 this is the privilege that we get by having credentialed lives, 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:33.040 and we get around to athletes and we see the dedicate. 0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:39.680 Everybody's got talent. How much technique in detail goes into 0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:43.279 your talent is what really separates these guys. Travis Hunter, 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:47.319 to come up with the technique and the detail it 0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:51.000 takes to be a shut down cornerback in the NFL 0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:55.080 is a full time job. To then add the technique 0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:58.320 in detail that comes with being an X Y or 0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:01.520 Z receiver. In this league, that is a full time job. 0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:04.960 To ask anybody to have two full time jobs when 0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:08.480 you're competing against the best in the world everywhere around 0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:10.520 you on the field, it's a big ass. And Travis 0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.200 Hunter's got more talent in his thumbnail than I have 0:44:13.280 --> 0:44:17.040 in my entire body. But learning the techniques or not 0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.799 learning the techniques will be the difference between sinking or 0:44:19.840 --> 0:44:25.920 swimming in this league. I would just go up to Lawrence. 0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:29.560 I would go up to the quarterback and I would 0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:33.600 just ask him, is there some sort of profound connection 0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:37.720 that you have with this guy that means he needs 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.360 to spend thirty percent of every day working with you offensively, 0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:43.800 or just can we make him a corner one hundred 0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:47.120 percent of the time? If there is indeed a asked 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:51.920 for by my franchise quarterback, agreed to by my pretty 0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:56.520 successful right off the rip head coach and Liam Cohne, 0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:01.440 if those guys are just, you know, completely ready to 0:45:01.520 --> 0:45:05.040 die on the hill that he must play wide receiver too, 0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:08.279 then I guess he must. But that's such a big ask, 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:10.480 and he'll be a better corner if they don't ask 0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:11.040 him to do it. 0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:16.000 I just wonder, like, is there a way to satiate 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:19.160 him by, like I said, special packages. 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:22.160 Gadget him up, Yeah, gadget package. 0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:24.319 Like, yo, you want some tuddies, Like all right, we'll 0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:27.080 give you the ball in the red zone and you know, 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:32.880 make it happen for us. But I just listen, like 0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:36.680 I understand coming in, And I can't say I understand 0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:37.920 because I'm not a football player. 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:40.000 I'm not an athlete. I get that coming in. 0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.960 He wanted to do both because it's an amazing feat 0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:49.600 and what a tremendous story it would be. But play defense, man, 0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:52.920 be the best version of yourself on one side of 0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:57.160 the ball. Focus and lock in on that. And if 0:45:57.239 --> 0:45:59.720 y'all somehow go on and run you win the super Bowl, 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:03.480 that to me is better than you getting hurt, you 0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:06.760 being known for playing two sides, like there is a 0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:10.959 bigger prize than you playing offense and defense. And we'll 0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:12.719 reward you, like I said, We'll give you a couple 0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:15.680 of gadget plays and packages. So I think that's the 0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:18.480 best way to attack this. If I'm the. 0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:23.680 Jags, that's definitely a way to keep the player happy. Sometimes, 0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:26.239 you know, you want to keep players happy. Sometimes the 0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.840 player's happiness has to take a back seat to team priority. 0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:36.360 So again, Trevor, do you have a profound connection. Is 0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:38.480 there something that we just can't afford to bring up, 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:40.239 Because if we can't afford to break it up, let's 0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:41.480 just put him on one side of the ball and 0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:44.799 get him really good over there. Let this guy get 0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:47.960 the ball back to you by making plays defensively, and 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.600 let's go about winning games normally. It is so hard 0:46:50.840 --> 0:46:53.200 to be good at any one thing in football, much 0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:59.200 less any two things in football. You know, when you 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:03.479 want to learn about a spot, what Nick Right, I'm 0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:08.320 sure is doing in Spain is looking for locals whenever 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:10.960 he can find them. Don't tell me to go to 0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:13.200 the place on trip Advisor. Where are you and your 0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:16.720 family going for dinner tonight? I want a locals touch. 0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:20.680 And that brings us to coast to coast because I've 0:47:20.680 --> 0:47:23.480 been out in San Francisco for over twenty years now. 0:47:23.520 --> 0:47:26.920 I'm originally from the East Coast, but you are surrounded 0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:30.080 by it. You're the East Coast guy, I'm the West 0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:33.479 Coast guy. And we both have some questions for each other, 0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:37.680 some things going on in our backyards that you can't 0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:40.600 really understand unless you're in the backyard every day. I 0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:45.319 got to ask you about the happiness in the backyard 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:48.280 that is New York City. Is New York City happy 0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:52.600 right now because of the Knicks. Is it still reverberating 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:56.520 through the boroughs that the Knicks won this whole thing 0:47:56.880 --> 0:48:00.799 to the point where James Dolan can even walk down 0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:03.560 the street and no one's yelling nasty things at him. 0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:04.440 Has that happened? 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:05.000 So? 0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:06.479 I think that. 0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:11.759 Because a lot of the frustration from Nick fans not 0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:16.759 having won in fifty three years stemmed from their annoyance 0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:20.280 with the owner, him getting in his hands and putting 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:23.120 his hands in places where they shouldn't be, A lot 0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:28.280 of that damon has subsided post championship. Yo, I still 0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:30.800 have not gone a single day walk in the streets 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:36.040 of New York City without seeing any type of Nick paraphernalia. 0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.000 And you see all the back orders coming in the 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:41.000 championship hats, the shirts and all of that. 0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:41.480 And so. 0:48:43.239 --> 0:48:46.840 I don't know that Dolan has a clean slate, But 0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:50.120 what I can tell you is doing radio in New 0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:55.920 York being, you know, around fans, there doesn't seem to 0:48:55.920 --> 0:49:00.200 be the same level of vitriol. And it obviously has 0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.640 come from the Knicks winning a championship. I also found 0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:07.080 it kind of endearing where he's on the podium in 0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:10.960 City Hall and he apologized that it took so long, 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:12.759 and he's like, I hope it doesn't take us long 0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:15.759 next time. And so I think, all it's cool with 0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:18.239 the Knick fans. They've got a lot of motion and 0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:21.480 they're just on this high man. Like I've said this too, 0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:24.640 Like even if they go into the season and they're 0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:28.000 the sixth seed, like nick Fins are feeling so confident 0:49:28.040 --> 0:49:30.480 and on top of the world. There's such a cloud 0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:32.439 nine elements to it where they're like, Yo, we're gonna 0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:34.000 win the East again and we'll be fine. 0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:37.000 I really think speeding, yeah, I mean, seating doesn't even matter. 0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:38.960 You just want to get to the postseason healthy, take 0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.080 your chances healthy. When you've done it and you know 0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:44.799 you can do it, that matters. I also remember that 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:47.480 within forty eight hours of the nixt winning their championship, 0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:50.040 we had quotes about not going into the second Apron. 0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.359 But again there's this damn second Apron rearing its ugly 0:49:53.440 --> 0:49:56.839 head again. I will say this about Dolan. I can't 0:49:56.840 --> 0:49:59.120 help but notice he was gone from Jimmy to James 0:49:59.360 --> 0:50:03.520 real quickly, right, So he's grown up. He is one 0:50:03.600 --> 0:50:05.959 for twenty seven He's on the Knicks for twenty seven years. 0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.560 That's an thirty seven batting average. So he's still got 0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.640 to keep it up. But even my nice thing about 0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:14.160 Dolan is this, have you been to the Sphere in 0:50:14.239 --> 0:50:17.520 Las Vegas yet? Because he did that? Oh dude, it is. 0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:21.600 I'm gonna argue right now that the greatest entertainer in 0:50:21.640 --> 0:50:25.240 America is not any one person. It is the video 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:28.600 dome that is behind the stage at the Sphere. You 0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:30.520 don't even need the band there playing. You could just 0:50:30.600 --> 0:50:34.920 turn that damn screen on and that's the greatest entertainer 0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:37.040 in America. You gotta get to the Sphere first. Thing 0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:40.320 that even mildly interests you that playing at the Sphere, 0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:43.200 Get on an airplane, go to Vegas, see the Sphere 0:50:43.200 --> 0:50:45.360 with your own two eyes. It's you've never seen anything 0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:47.440 like it. So why won't think Dolan for that? 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:51.160 And some people have surmised that maybe part of the 0:50:51.200 --> 0:50:54.960 reason why, you know, he kept his hands out of 0:50:55.000 --> 0:50:58.080 the cookie jar, so to speak, and allowed Leon Rosen 0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:01.960 and Worldwide West to do their job, was because he 0:51:02.080 --> 0:51:04.920 was focused on this big project out in Las Vegas, 0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:10.239 and so yeah, Nick fans are happy. Dolan has obviously, 0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:12.439 you know, not had the best track record. Nickson Vans 0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:16.279 were not pleased with who he was hanging out with 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.399 in Game three in the suite at the Garden, which 0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:20.640 happened to be their only loss of the series. 0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:23.160 But that's neither here nor there. 0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:30.280 Right now, there is such a level of elation they're 0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:32.520 not even thinking about the owner of the team. They're 0:51:32.560 --> 0:51:36.520 just like, yo, we've got our roster coming back with 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.400 Mitchell Robinson notwithstanding, and we're just gonna run. 0:51:39.280 --> 0:51:39.879 This thing back. 0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:42.520 I'll tell you. It was awesome to see the Garden 0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:46.360 in the postseason, just I mean at its most full 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:50.040 throat rabbit. It was. It was great theater. It was 0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:53.240 great drama, it really was. And that's what the NBA 0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:57.080 needs to sell, not sick second apron stress. That's what 0:51:57.120 --> 0:51:59.720 the NBA needs to sell for us. So that was great. 0:52:00.040 --> 0:52:03.919 Does the NFL as we go now to the West Coast, 0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:08.000 does the NFL need to sell the San Francisco substation, 0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:15.960 this electrical substation in your city that allegedly is leading 0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:20.600 to a rash of forty nine ers injuries. Now, the Niners, 0:52:20.600 --> 0:52:23.239 of course, have dismissed these conspiracies, but it's fun on 0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:26.960 the internet. And so I ask you, as the resident 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:32.520 Bay Area person on the show, is this substation something 0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:37.040 that fans of the Niners needs to be concerned about. 0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:41.880 I don't know, And that's why you need to be 0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:47.239 concerned about it. Perception becomes reality, you know, it's just 0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:50.160 that simple. I don't know if we can prove that 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:53.200 it's doing damage. I don't know if the Niners can 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:58.879 tangibly disprove it does absolutely nothing. I do know that 0:52:59.040 --> 0:53:03.160 Pat mcafe, they opened up a show talking about how 0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:06.680 this is practiced. Chernobyl and the forty nine ers are 0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:10.000 in an electrical prison when they're a training camp, and 0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:14.280 the pictures are unlike really any other NFL training camp. 0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:18.480 I don't know what is or isn't happening. I also 0:53:18.600 --> 0:53:21.200 know that football is an injury sport. I don't know 0:53:21.400 --> 0:53:24.600 how it's related. I don't know, you don't know, We 0:53:24.719 --> 0:53:27.920 don't know, but boy are we talking about it. Therefore, 0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:31.239 it is a problem for the forty nine ers. And 0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:33.840 then you know there's the there's a little bit of 0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:35.839 a cynic in me that says, all right, what if 0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:40.440 they really did find something was indeed wrong, would they 0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:45.960 share that information? Would they then what move their training camp, 0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:51.040 their practice facility, their headquarters, their stadium because it's next 0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:56.239 to this thing? All I know is a question that 0:53:56.320 --> 0:53:59.959 I was asked, if you were buying a house, would 0:53:59.960 --> 0:54:02.200 you want your house to be directly next to an 0:54:02.200 --> 0:54:07.160 electrical substation? And the definitive answer from everybody is no, 0:54:07.440 --> 0:54:09.600 I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want that. But the 0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:11.719 niners are right up against it, and I don't think 0:54:11.760 --> 0:54:13.719 there's anything they can do about it. And it's going 0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:16.800 to linger because once the Internet gets its teeth on something, 0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:18.040 it doesn't. 0:54:17.719 --> 0:54:21.480 Oh correct and when you see the injuries continue in 0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:24.120 the amount, it is just going to breathe life into 0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:24.560 this thing. 0:54:25.320 --> 0:54:28.080 Here's what I'll say. I think that it is. 0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:33.759 It is smart to operate with a healthy level of 0:54:33.800 --> 0:54:37.440 skepticism just throughout life, because it then can lead to 0:54:37.520 --> 0:54:41.920 you doing some homework, being educated on various subjects that 0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:46.759 you otherwise weren't educated on. There has been a ton 0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:50.040 of research that has debunked this theory, and so. 0:54:50.120 --> 0:54:51.880 I know we live in a world where it's like 0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:53.640 a man, damn the research. 0:54:54.320 --> 0:54:57.080 I don't care about what the experts or the scientists 0:54:57.120 --> 0:54:58.000 are saying the world. 0:54:58.120 --> 0:54:59.840 I googled it, so now I'm an expert. 0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:05.120 Yeah right, Like I tend to lend, you know, as 0:55:05.160 --> 0:55:09.080 someone who is not privy to all of the details, 0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:11.239 I'm leaning on the homework I've done. 0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:13.120 I've seen experts study it. 0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:15.800 I saw a Pablo Tory, he had a podcast episode 0:55:15.800 --> 0:55:16.080 on it. 0:55:16.520 --> 0:55:17.920 This theory has been debunked. 0:55:18.360 --> 0:55:21.480 And so, as someone who is not a San Francisco resident, 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:23.960 notty Niners fan, I'm all the way out here on 0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:27.200 the East Coast, I'm saying this is much ado about nothing. 0:55:27.280 --> 0:55:30.040 Thank you. But you know, we live in a world 0:55:30.120 --> 0:55:35.399 where people they wear their tinfoil hats with pride. That's 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:38.359 what's going on. Let me let me ask you this, 0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:44.600 because this is about the fan experience. Okay, does anybody 0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:47.719 like going to MetLife stadium. It seems like Giants fans 0:55:47.760 --> 0:55:49.520 hate it. It seems like Jets fans hate it. It 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:51.719 seemed like World Cup fans hate it. It seems like 0:55:51.800 --> 0:55:54.600 fans going to concerts hate it. Met Life seems to 0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:59.280 be about the most miserable day in a stadium, getting 0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:03.799 to it, paying through it, leaving it, ingress, egress, all 0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:07.400 that stuff. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? 0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:08.640 Yes, it's terrible. 0:56:08.960 --> 0:56:13.520 So I actually don't think I've been to MetLife since 0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:14.960 twenty twenty. 0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:15.760 It might be twenty. 0:56:15.880 --> 0:56:19.600 It was a Jets Patriots Week three game and I'm 0:56:19.600 --> 0:56:23.560 sitting in the rain. ESPN had an event that I 0:56:23.640 --> 0:56:26.520 was in attendance for, and you know, it was fine. 0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:28.720 It was cool because I got there like hours before. 0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:32.320 But no one likes going to MetLife Stadium between the traffic, 0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:36.960 yo getting out of that parking lot is an absolute disaster. 0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:40.920 It's a stadium that was built not all that long ago, 0:56:41.000 --> 0:56:42.560 and yet doesn't. 0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:44.399 Have the look or feel like it. And so, yes, 0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:49.240 MetLife Stadium, all that you have heard is correct about 0:56:49.560 --> 0:56:53.439 traveling there, being there, and the turf is bad as well. 0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:54.400 The turf stings. 0:56:54.640 --> 0:56:56.680 It does. It gets guys hurt. It feels like it 0:56:56.719 --> 0:57:00.239 gets If there was ever an NFL stadium that should 0:57:00.280 --> 0:57:01.880 have said, hey, you know what, we can put grass 0:57:01.880 --> 0:57:03.319 in here. We just did it for the World Cup. 0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:05.640 We're going to keep going with this, it was that 0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:08.440 stadium and they didn't. By the way, shame on the NFL. 0:57:08.440 --> 0:57:11.399 Players Association for not getting this done. It's the one 0:57:11.440 --> 0:57:14.760 thing that your entire association agrees on. We want grass 0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:20.360 in the stadia that have roofs. That's more difficult. I'll 0:57:20.360 --> 0:57:22.840 see you that there's no roof there that could be 0:57:22.960 --> 0:57:28.200 terf that can be converted to actual grass. And NFL 0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:30.439 players need to pull the linel messy dude, we ain't 0:57:30.440 --> 0:57:33.160 playing and this ain't right. I really wish they would. 0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:36.480 It's responsible from one of my most painful memories as 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:41.440 a Jet fan, Aaron Rodgers tearing his achilles on Monday 0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:42.240 Night football. 0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:45.360 By the way, painful memories as a Jets fan. How 0:57:45.440 --> 0:57:47.160 big is that bouquet. 0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:49.880 Of hours we can do? We were an hour and 0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:51.360 we could do another hour on that. 0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:54.520 So I've just seen the note, by the way, passed 0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:58.800 along by the studio saying let's save these NFL rankings 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:01.200 and games for next week. We are already too deep 0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:03.720 in overtime and we want to get to listener questions 0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:06.760 and comments and things like that. So I guess we 0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:08.960 should do that. Look at it. We spent so much 0:58:08.960 --> 0:58:12.720 time talking about second aprons and things, and we talked 0:58:12.760 --> 0:58:13.920 out our NFL segment. 0:58:14.080 --> 0:58:16.520 You know what it is that one show that we did. 0:58:16.560 --> 0:58:18.960 We developed so much chemistry. It's like two guys at 0:58:19.000 --> 0:58:20.640 a bar sitting down and having a conversation. 0:58:20.680 --> 0:58:21.800 It goes on and on and on. 0:58:22.440 --> 0:58:25.400 Blame the chemistry there. Yeah, I like that. I like that. 0:58:25.760 --> 0:58:30.000 The chemistry was so phenomenal. We just couldn't shut up 0:58:30.000 --> 0:58:36.200 and move on. So are we going listener questions? That's 0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:39.360 what the column says. In the column, it never lies, 0:58:40.160 --> 0:58:43.240 all right, Red Jetschell, who by the way, is a 0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:47.560 Damon Bruce plus regular. She is from Oakland. She's awesome 0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:52.520 Damon early in the morning. Whoa, how much did the 0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:56.160 extra coffee? How much did it take? Look, I just 0:58:56.600 --> 0:58:58.840 it's the same. I have it every day. I just 0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:01.920 I get my coffee delivered in bags. Get it, I 0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:04.120 get it, I get a shipped to the house. And 0:59:04.200 --> 0:59:07.520 my coffee is good coffee. It is good coffee. But 0:59:07.560 --> 0:59:09.760 we're crushing it and I will refill this before I 0:59:09.800 --> 0:59:11.960 do my show at eleven am West Coast, Red jet 0:59:12.000 --> 0:59:13.720 I hope to see you there. But thanks for watching 0:59:14.000 --> 0:59:17.480 the regulars tapping in. That's me awfully happy. 0:59:17.640 --> 0:59:20.280 No, that's great for you. So do you get a 0:59:20.400 --> 0:59:23.080 nap in before d because this is early. This is 0:59:23.280 --> 0:59:24.080 do you get a nap in. 0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:26.280 Before the next show or is the coffee just keeping No? 0:59:26.360 --> 0:59:28.920 You know, here's a lot. It's like I got a 0:59:28.960 --> 0:59:30.960 seven year old and a five year old, and I 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:34.280 know I look way too old to have kids that young, 0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:39.560 but wife and I started late, and those beautiful boys 0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:42.880 of mine have me up like the rooster every morning, 0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:45.400 whether I want to be or not. So coffee is 0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:48.440 just part of function, That's what it is. I no naps, 0:59:49.000 --> 0:59:52.040 no days off. We just keep going forward. That's what 0:59:52.080 --> 0:59:55.000 we do. But I am through. I do go to 0:59:55.080 --> 0:59:57.600 bed about as early as a grandmother does these days. 0:59:57.640 --> 1:00:02.800 I'll admit that what time is that? Like ten thirty? 1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:04.160 I'm usually tapping out, man, Well. 1:00:04.080 --> 1:00:06.919 Get it in man before the football season starts. Gotta 1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:07.400 get it in. 1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:11.240 Now, Absolutely, gotta get it in. Let's see. Andy is 1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:16.520 asking did Shaq's title with the Heat add to his legacy? 1:00:17.040 --> 1:00:19.880 Thanks for the question, Andy, Absolutely, I think the answers 1:00:19.920 --> 1:00:22.080 of course, yes, all titles legacies. 1:00:22.280 --> 1:00:26.280 What championship I guess unless you're Kevin Durant doesn't answer 1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:31.960 your legacy. And also remember three years after that, Kobe 1:00:32.000 --> 1:00:34.680 then wins the first of two championships. So remember there 1:00:35.080 --> 1:00:38.280 was like this Kobe versus Shack thing, Who's gonna win more? 1:00:38.720 --> 1:00:42.400 And so when Shack immediately wins going to Miami, it looked. 1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:42.920 Bad on Kobe. 1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:45.160 But Kobe then follows that up by going to three 1:00:45.200 --> 1:00:48.080 straight finals and winning two. So you know, I mean, 1:00:48.160 --> 1:00:50.480 obviously it adds to his legacy. But then in the 1:00:50.520 --> 1:00:53.959 context of what Kobe was able to do without him 1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:57.520 in LA, it was massive for him. As we sit 1:00:57.560 --> 1:00:59.400 back and look back on you know what happened with 1:00:59.400 --> 1:01:00.320 that twenty years ago. 1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.000 Look, I'm a big believer. There are no stupid questions 1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:08.800 but that that's that's getting close, right, all all championships matter. 1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:11.640 It probably matter too much. To be totally honest with you, 1:01:11.720 --> 1:01:15.640 I think that we've you know, drowned ourselves in ring culture, uh, 1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:19.240 to the point where you know, it's it's it's it's annoying, 1:01:19.360 --> 1:01:23.720 it's become obnoxious. It really really has. Yes, but that 1:01:23.800 --> 1:01:25.760 added to Shack's legacy, and it certainly added to his 1:01:25.800 --> 1:01:28.680 legacy more than his time with what the Cavaliers, the Celtics, 1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:33.479 all his goodbye sounds. Oh my gosh, I forgot the Sack, 1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:36.120 the sun dial, the big Sun dial Was he a 1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:38.960 big Aristotle at that time when we were changing nicknames 1:01:38.960 --> 1:01:39.480 like teams. 1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:42.720 That's what I remember Popovich. 1:01:42.800 --> 1:01:46.000 I intentionally foul him to start a game, like just 1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:47.040 to just to troll. 1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:54.000 Him, and then he does this, uh prewish prish pry 1:01:54.080 --> 1:01:57.960 Rush says that Jokic might be going to Golden State 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:02.439 for those Warriors. Look, I am so sick and tired 1:02:02.480 --> 1:02:04.400 of hearing about the big free agent who's gonna come 1:02:04.440 --> 1:02:06.600 in and save the Golden State Warriors. I mean, it 1:02:06.720 --> 1:02:09.920 was Yannis, then for a minute there it was Lebron, 1:02:10.200 --> 1:02:13.720 and I guarantee you it will happen and the Warriors 1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:15.760 might even float it. Yeah we're interested. You know, we 1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:18.320 can't talk about it, no tampering, but yeah, we'd be interested. 1:02:18.360 --> 1:02:20.680 And then for whatever reason, it doesn't happen. That seems 1:02:20.720 --> 1:02:25.040 to have defined the Warriors lately, the promise of the 1:02:25.280 --> 1:02:28.760 big piece of help that never shows up to help. 1:02:28.880 --> 1:02:30.800 That's that's what the Warriors have done over the last 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.760 couple of years. Oh, by the way, the Jonathan cominga 1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:38.160 situation that's going on right now. Everybody got the calculus 1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:41.360 on him wrong. Everybody that guy turned down a three 1:02:41.400 --> 1:02:43.680 year seventy five million dollar deal, and right now they're 1:02:43.720 --> 1:02:46.760 talking about he might go back to Atlanta for the minimum. 1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:49.920 Or you might go to the Lakers on a you know, 1:02:49.960 --> 1:02:50.720 a short deal. 1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:53.439 Yeah that's good. Let me tell you just a little 1:02:53.440 --> 1:02:56.400 friendly advice from you, from me to you. Anyone ever 1:02:56.560 --> 1:02:59.400 offers you seventy five million over three, you probably just say, yeah, 1:02:59.480 --> 1:03:02.200 that's work. 1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:05.480 I wonder because he actually had a good couple of 1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:07.040 good games. I know, we have some more questions to 1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:08.400 get to. You had a couple of good games in 1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:10.600 that Knick series, like if they ever to beat the 1:03:10.680 --> 1:03:13.680 Knicks and then you know they get to the second round. 1:03:13.760 --> 1:03:17.080 Any flashes, I guess not. As I'm talking through it, 1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:19.200 there was no way that back. 1:03:19.840 --> 1:03:22.160 I do that too. You start a segment and you're 1:03:22.200 --> 1:03:24.280 trying to make a point, then you talk yourself out 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:25.800 of the point you were trying to make in the 1:03:25.800 --> 1:03:29.240 middle of the second. That's good. That means you're not 1:03:29.320 --> 1:03:32.040 just you know, locked into one position, you're thinking things through. 1:03:32.160 --> 1:03:36.160 It's always a good sign for all hosts. Oh, here's 1:03:36.160 --> 1:03:38.640 a little something for you. Okay, here's a little something 1:03:38.640 --> 1:03:41.680 for you, which means we have an official repeat viewer 1:03:41.920 --> 1:03:44.800 from Tuesday to Thursday. That's good carryover. That's what we're 1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:49.840 looking for. How are the Ravens clearly better than the Chiefs? 1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:53.080 Is this? Did Nick Wright ask this himself? This is cute. 1:03:55.960 --> 1:03:58.480 Nix nix and our you tube comments. 1:04:00.120 --> 1:04:02.800 So I floated this out there when I was listing 1:04:02.840 --> 1:04:06.400 the teams that were clearly better than the Chiefs going 1:04:06.400 --> 1:04:09.880 into this season, and I think I said Denver, Buffalo, 1:04:10.200 --> 1:04:12.480 New England, and I threw in the Ravens. The Ravens 1:04:12.480 --> 1:04:15.480 had a better season. The Ravens also don't have their 1:04:15.560 --> 1:04:21.200 quarterback coming off of a season ending injury, and so 1:04:21.400 --> 1:04:24.000 I just think that the Ravens, you look at their roster, 1:04:24.240 --> 1:04:27.000 it's better that the Chiefs have a bunch of questions 1:04:27.040 --> 1:04:31.440 on their defense. Young players that they acquired, they drafted, 1:04:31.720 --> 1:04:34.440 and so maybe they will pop. But you've got a 1:04:34.480 --> 1:04:36.960 tight end who's what thirty seven years old, You've got 1:04:36.960 --> 1:04:40.480 a receiving core that you don't exactly love, and again, 1:04:40.520 --> 1:04:45.680 most importantly, your quarterback's not coming off of season ending surgery. 1:04:45.760 --> 1:04:47.560 And so right now, I think the Ravens are a 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:48.680 better team than the Chiefs. 1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:52.760 I'm not arguing when you said it, I didn't argue 1:04:52.760 --> 1:04:55.640 with you, right, I think, yeah, now, think can change fast. 1:04:56.160 --> 1:04:58.760 Things change fast in football. We all know that, But 1:04:59.560 --> 1:05:01.320 I don't. How about I think they're kind of like, 1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:04.400 you know, we love our tiers, our quarterback tiers right now. 1:05:04.400 --> 1:05:08.040 I think they're sort of on the same tier of competition. 1:05:08.280 --> 1:05:12.040 But I would list Baltimore before I listed Kansas City. 1:05:12.120 --> 1:05:14.720 But Kansas City can also win a Super Bowl if 1:05:14.720 --> 1:05:16.760 Patrick mahomes a superman again. We do know that. 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:19.120 Yeah, and there our schedules so easy too. 1:05:19.560 --> 1:05:24.640 It is Wedegeist with Wedgiest. I don't know what this 1:05:24.800 --> 1:05:27.480 name is. He does say we're cooking again. 1:05:27.960 --> 1:05:28.560 Oh I love that. 1:05:29.280 --> 1:05:31.640 Thank you very very much for coming on in and 1:05:31.680 --> 1:05:34.520 cooking with us in the kitchen here.

And 1:05:41.880 --> 1:05:44.800 we really do appreciate it. We certainly appreciate everybody back 1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:48.520 in the studio working with pro producers again.
