Speaker 2: Will you stay in my home?

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if I'm saying you out,

00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: but I'll see you.

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: Sounds wonderful. Now, next thing to talk about Jack for

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: a second. What's the buzz going on with Travis Hunter?

23
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: What's going on?

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: Man?

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: So much buzz. Everyone just so excited about him and

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: what he offers. Now know, he's a great player. Everyone

27
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: understands what he brings as a two way player, but

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: just a great dude. And when you talk about changing

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 4: the coach in the locker room, you bring different type

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 4: dudes who have the dynamics that.

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: He brings to the table. It's gonna change things.

32
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of optimism, a lot of positive

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: buzzs and energy down in Jacksonville.

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: Okay, now, now we're gonna get started with something way

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: out of left field, way out of left field. Now

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: what it is? The WNBA. Okay, Okay, we're gonna start right.

37
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: It's true. I don't think we've ever ever started with

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: the WNBA because the league right now has finally found

39
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: out what it takes to sell. They finally got a villain.

40
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: The NBA had Will Chamblain for a while, the NBA

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: had Larry Bird, had magic villains and positive whatever it be,

42
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: that positive negative that got Lebron Now with somewhat of

43
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: a villain. Now the WNBA has Caitlin Clark. And if

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: you watch that's the game yesterday, the Indiana fever really

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: rolled over Chicago ninety three fifty eight. But the big

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: deal of that game was Clark had that flagrant foul

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: of Angel Reese. Okay, and really and truly was that

48
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: Reese was grabbed the she grab that offensive rebound. That's

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: her games. He had like seventeen boards yesterday. Clarked then

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: slapped her across the arm, knocking the ball away, hit

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Reese to the floor, Reesed and jumped up, confronted Caitlin

52
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: Clark and then Aliah Boston was involved with the thing,

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: and it was it was something that basically everybody in

54
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: the world of sports loves and they're talking about. I'm

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: sure if you turn your TV on last night to

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: our sports, that was the highlight. That's what everybody wanted

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: to talk about. Because now all of a sudden, the

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: WNBA has a villain, and when you have a villain,

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: you sell tickets.

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean, like part of sports entertainment is

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: to be able to create rivalies where there's a naturally

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: there's a natural big rivalry, and Caitlin Clark and Angel

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: Reese going all the way back to the championship game

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: LSU Iowa, the way that game played out, the way

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: that the game ended, and all of that. So coming

66
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: into the w NBA, you had, you know, a built

67
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: in rivalry. You had two ladies who are vying for

68
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year this year. It only escalates as

69
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: both teams that you know, showcase those ladies have upgraded

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: the talent around their star players.

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: And so this was a big game, which is why

72
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: it was the opener.

73
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Because you had Kaylen Clark and Angelies and both of

74
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: them playing with a new cast of characters.

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: You knew it was going to be musky TV. Now.

76
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: The hard File only added to the intrigue because what

77
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: you got is what everyone feels in senses, like there's

78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: a competitive conflict between these ladies. I can't say they

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: hate each other like off the court, but on the court, yeah,

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: there's a healthy disdain and I'm actually okay with that.

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: I believe that rivalries should be a little testee, should

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: be a little contentious, and you have some of these

83
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: flareups from time to time. So to me, what took

84
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: place is kind of part of what happens when you

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: have two bitter rivels.

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: I think it's healthy, I really do. And Caitlyn Clark,

87
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: she finished up with a triple double twenty points, ten boards,

88
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: ten assist. She had a career high four blocks. Angel

89
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: at twelve points, and her game is off the boards.

90
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: She had seventeen rebounds. But take a listen to what

91
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: Caitlin how to say after the game go ahead.

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: Kaitlin just said that take Bowl, you know if you

93
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 5: either Angel gets to fight up in two points or

94
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: you know, we sent him to the brig line.

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: Nothing malicious about it.

96
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: It's just a good take Bowl. Every basketball player knows that.

97
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. It was a flagrant one,

98
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about that. But the fact that she

99
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: kind of run the arm and then all of a sudden,

100
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: like there was a stair down, she walked away. You know,

101
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: I just didn't want to see confrontation in the sense

102
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I didn't want to see fisticuffs. I mean that to me,

103
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: two women fighting on the basketball court, it's not my

104
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: cup of tea. I don't want to see that. You know,

105
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: the looks that the growls or one another, the facial

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: fate back and forth. That again, I can handle it,

107
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: the looks and the stairdowns, but fist the cuffs. I

108
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: don't want to see that.

109
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you don't want to see that, but like, look,

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: it was never gonna break out to that point. But

111
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 4: I believe one you're the Indiana Fever. You have a

112
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: brand new team and a new coach. Stephanie White took over.

113
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: She was missed basketball and Indiana also won a national

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: title playing for Purdue, so it was a bit of

115
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 4: a homecoming for her.

116
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: She's a great coach in her own right. They have

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: a really good squad.

118
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: I mean, their squad is so good, with the people

119
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 4: that they've assembled and how this team has continued to grow.

120
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: I think you're trying to set kind of a tone.

121
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: You're trying to let the rest of the WNBA know

122
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: your temperament. So when Kaylyn Clark talks about like everyone

123
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: knows no layups, look as the takefiut, we're not giving

124
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: up easy layps. You have to know you coming to

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: the paint, you're gonna get dealt with. That's a part

126
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: of the thing. And for some you know, they may

127
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: not like that because they kind of viewed Indiana.

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: The Fever as a walk over before. Well it's a

129
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: little different.

130
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: It's a different time, and so I understand what Caitlyn

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: Clark and her team the message they were trying to

132
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: send also understand the retaliation or the response from Angel

133
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: Rees and I just can't wait for these two to

134
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: square off again, because you know, given the conflict, it's

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: always going to kind of be like this.

136
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a battle from here on out.

137
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: Now, here's the question of the day. How surprised do you?

138
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 2: Because I'm sort of like my head is spinning. Really,

139
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: we're not talking about the NHL. We never talk about

140
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: the NHL. We're not talking about Major League Baseball, We're

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: not definitely not talking about MLS, Major League Soccer. We

142
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: open here with the WNBA. What does that mean? Does

143
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: it mean the WNBA now has leaped and bounds over

144
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: all these other sports it's more popular than them, or

145
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: just because of the incident that happened. I'm still confused.

146
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about popular sports, we know it's

147
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: going to be football in college football one and one

148
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: a after that. I think there's a big jump to

149
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: maybe NBA. Maybe WNBA has passed. I don't know. But

150
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: the fact that we're talking about the w NBA right now,

151
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: and maybe simply because of the rivalry between those two players,

152
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think it's really moved up

153
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: on the popularity chart.

154
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it has moved up the popularity chart.

155
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: You are bringing in what we call more casuals to

156
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: watch the sport because of like like Kaitlyn Clark and

157
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: others have to star power that we're beginning to see

158
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: Bucker's coming in.

159
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: She's also going to help her.

160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: She's playing with the Dallas team, so that is also

161
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: going to foster more eyeballs on the sport. But yeah,

162
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: like you have to have star power. Star power moves

163
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: the needle. And say what you want about Kaitlyn Clark,

164
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: like she is a star. She was an established star

165
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: at IOWA. She's been a star heading into the league.

166
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: There are people that are going to tune in to

167
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: watch her and that's only good for the WNBA.

168
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: I will say this, and I'm bullying. I'm far from

169
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: being one of the smarter guys around and you know that.

170
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: But I think there's a correlation between following an athlete

171
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: in college and watching them go up the ladder to

172
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: the pro level. And I think that increases interest, increases

173
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: ticket sales, increases TV revenue, TV eyeballs watching. For example,

174
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: people follow Caitlin Clark and nancyba she's played for University

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: of Iowa. Right after that Iowa season in late March, boom,

176
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: two months later, she's playing in the WNBA. You can't

177
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 2: do that with MLS. These guys are playing all over Europe.

178
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: You have no idea where they're coming from. Half the

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: guys who can't pronounce their names. Okay, it's number one,

180
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: number two. The NBA, to some extent, you could do that.

181
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: You follow them in college, but the portal right now,

182
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: you don't know what college they're at. Major League Baseball.

183
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: They're in the minor leagues for seven, eight, nine years

184
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: in the minor league, so you have no idea where

185
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: they're going. So I think that the path to the

186
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: pro level has to be followed early on for fans

187
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: to be kind of nurtured, if you will. And I

188
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: think that's what's happening with the WNBA, and it certainly

189
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: happens in college football all the way to the NFL.

190
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: And maybe that's why those two sports to some extent

191
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: are head and shoulders above the other sports.

192
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean there may be something to that

193
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: when you talk about like being able to nurture it. Yeah,

194
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: like because in the WNBA, like ladies aren't leaving after

195
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: one season to go to the pros. You do have

196
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 4: an opportunity to build a stronger connection with them. You

197
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: see them for three four years, you grow with them,

198
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: and when you're along that journey, you continue to follow

199
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: to the next destination, the WNBA, which is seemingly turning

200
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: the corner when it comes to fandom and viewership and

201
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: those things. They do have that ready baked recipe in

202
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: there for them. And so the more we see stars

203
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: on the collegiate level make their way to the WNBA,

204
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 4: the more we're gonna see the fan base and the

205
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: viewership grow for the WNBA.

206
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Now, one of the biggest stories,

207
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: maybe one of the biggest stories in sports in the

208
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: last thirty thirty five years, the redemption of Pete Rose.

209
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: How surprised were you that, out of left field, all

210
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's back in the I guess the

211
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: good graces if you will, in Major League Baseball. I mean, look,

212
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: the Commission Rob Manford announced Pete Rose, the sports the

213
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: hit King really was reinstated after spending one than thirty

214
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: six years on the permanently ineligible list. Do I mean,

215
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: really and truly I'm happy for Pete's family, but I

216
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: think it's a slap in the face to what Pete

217
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: Rose has accomplished and how to wait after he passed

218
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: to do something like this.

219
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: A few different things very play. One. The tie or.

220
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: The growing tie between the legalization of sports betting has

221
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: kind of changed the way that we looked at it.

222
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: Like I'm being honest, growing up as a kid, when

223
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: you would throw out gambling, I would think nothing but

224
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 4: bad thoughts, like oh my god, it's such a bad thing,

225
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: this and that or whatever. But now those lines are

226
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: all blurred because everyone gambles, you know, like with the Emmert,

227
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: like the explosion of daily sports betting, the access that

228
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 4: you have.

229
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: Being able to bet on your phones, all of that.

230
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 4: The stigma has been removed from the sport, which now

231
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: makes it easier to kind of bring Pete Rose back

232
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: based on the black cloud or the smudge that was

233
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: put on him.

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: When you linked him and gambling and those other things.

235
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: I would also say that there's been a strong push

236
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: to make sure that Pete Rose gets recognized for his

237
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: great accomplishments in the sport. I think the President certainly

238
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: talked about it has kind of fostered that and pushed that.

239
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: Others have pushed the agenda when it comes to reinstating

240
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: him so he can get the respect that he deserves

241
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: as a Hall of Famer. All of that was in play,

242
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: and all of that certainly worked in look in the

243
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: favor of the hit king.

244
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really funny, but this Major League Baseball on

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: the Commission Rob Manfors said he did not directly reinstate Rows,

246
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: but get what he altered a rule in which deceased

247
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: players are removed from the permanently ineligible list. He said

248
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: these players couldnot ruin the game any further. Come, Well,

249
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: what a cop out. What Manford really did, in my mind,

250
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: was take the pressure off Major League Baseball because the

251
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: general public, the majority, I think, thinks that Pete belongs

252
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: to the Hall of Fame with the direct that he

253
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: had forty two fifty six hits. But it puts all

254
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: the pressure now in the Hall of Fame and the

255
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: writers and the Baseball Writers to perhaps vote Pete Rose

256
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: into the hole. So the pressure is off MLB. The

257
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: pressure is now on the Hall of Fame, the Hall

258
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: of Fame Committee, and the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

259
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's all on them, and we can

260
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: continue to see them. Have to kind of deal with

261
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 4: these types of issues. Because I'm gonna be honest with Jandy,

262
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: the fact that Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds are not

263
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: in the Hall.

264
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: Of Fame, that bothers me.

265
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: It bothers me because you can't tell the story of

266
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: MLB without them, no different than Sammy Sosi and Mark

267
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: Mewarret and all those other guys. Regardless of the allegations

268
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: of the things that kind of hover around them, they

269
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: are a big part of the fabric of baseball. And

270
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 4: going back to that time, there was a time where

271
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: baseball wasn't being watched and it took the home run

272
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: race from Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire to kind of

273
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: put it back front and center for the nation. Then

274
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: you talk about Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and what

275
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: they were associated with in terms of winning at a

276
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: high level, the accomplishments in those things. To me, with

277
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: Pete Roles or whatever like, you can judge them, say whatever,

278
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: put to ask you about it, whatever, But I think to

279
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 4: not recognize them as being some of the greatest contributors

280
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: to the sport.

281
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: I think you're doing the sport of disservice.

282
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: There's no doubt you and I are on the standing

283
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: pay chip because it always seems strange to me to

284
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: have a Hall of Fame that didn't include the man

285
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: who got the most hits in history, also the man

286
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: who had the most home runs in history in Bonds,

287
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: the pitcher who won the most Syung Awards, Roger Clemens,

288
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 2: and the guy who broke Roger Morris's single season home

289
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: run record, Mark Maguire. I mean, these are records that

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: have broken. You play for records. They broke those records,

291
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: and whatever they did, the transgrestions they may have had

292
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: off the field, all about what you've done and accomplished

293
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: between the lines. That's it. And Pete Rose, maybe you

294
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: know he's done some things and the quote broke the rules,

295
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: he gambled, But whatever he did, that was a transgression

296
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: to him, and it's I guess his baseball or his personality.

297
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: It had no effect on the forty two to fifty

298
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: six hits that he got while he played the game.

299
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: No, I didn't, and so he deserved to go in

300
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: the Hall. It's long overdue.

301
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate that it's after he's passed, so he doesn't

302
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 4: get a chance to really celebrate with his family being

303
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: recognized for that, But better late than ever. I don't

304
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: like the way that, you know, you talked about the rule.

305
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: I don't like the that's kind of weak sauce, like

306
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: give Pete Rose or give those other people their props.

307
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: I just don't like the way that it was orchestrated

308
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: and talked about. But nonetheless, he's to have an opportunity

309
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: to go win. Hopefully the Baseball writers do the right thing.

310
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a knight for him in Cincinnati this

311
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: past Wednesday, which I went to, and really it was

312
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: amazing that like forty four thousand plus people and that

313
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: had a Larkin on the field and they had the

314
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: two other reds. I believe it was I forgetting the second.

315
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: Eric Davis was there in Barry Luck, I know for sure,

316
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: and Marty brennanman the Hall of Fame announcer, was on

317
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: the field doing like a Q and A and it

318
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: was wonderful really, and Pete's family was there, Pete Junior

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: was there, and I asked Pete Jr. To be with

320
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: us this morning and chat a little bit, but he

321
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: was busy, couldn't do it. His daughter Forn was there,

322
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: but you know, she lives in Seattle, so I'm not

323
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: gonna ask her to come ont of three in the morning.

324
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: So that's another story. But they were there and it

325
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: was kind of a tear Jacob Jerker really was and

326
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: form was wonderful. She spoke and she said to the fans, basically,

327
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: you know you're not fans, You're an extension of our family.

328
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: And it was one. It really was a great night

329
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: and you could see the love the city of Cincinnati

330
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: has with Pete Rose. And by the way, they gave

331
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: everybody who went to the stadium that night a Pete

332
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: Rose jersey. Cincinnati reads Pete Rose Jersey. I didn't get one.

333
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: I don't want one on I'm not gotting my hand down.

334
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: Why did you get when you're there in the building,

335
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: why do I get?

336
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: You know, they asked me if I want the one,

337
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: but I'll go back next week and get back I

338
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: walk around wearing a jersey. I don't know. I just

339
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: I felt funny, So I didn't get one, but I

340
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: was there. There's just great scene the old time guys

341
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: coming back. Eric Davis he looks like he could still play.

342
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: I said, Eric, can you still play? He looked pretty good.

343
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: He says, I can still play, but I can't play

344
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: nine innings. It was kind of funny, really was. Larkin

345
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: was great. I see Larkin a lot there because he

346
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: does their home games on TV. But it just just

347
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: the love that this city has for Pete Rose and

348
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: the stories that they had and they were telling. I mean,

349
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: I just, you know, I just don't know of any

350
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: other athlete and another city that has to kind of love.

351
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean, people were telling stories that Barry lark And

352
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: said when he grew up, that he he was a

353
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: Cincinnati He went to Mola High School in Cincinnati. He

354
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: said he always played baseball and slid head first because

355
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: that's what Pete Rose did, I mean think about.

356
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: I mean I did too.

357
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean like that was a big part of whatever

358
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: I learned from watching Pete Rose, that you just sled

359
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: at first base, and so I remember being in the

360
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: little league sliding into first base like a crazy man.

361
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 4: All of those things like Charlie holso Les they called him,

362
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: like just all of those things that are really old

363
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: school values, like that's what you loved and Pete Rose.

364
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: I never and people won't remember, But man, you remember

365
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: how big the All Star Game was.

366
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: The MLB All Star Game used to be the things.

367
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 4: It was such a big deal to watch the All

368
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 4: Star Game because that was when you see all your

369
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 4: stars or whatever. And the competitiveness that Pete Rose displayed

370
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: and the All Star Game was what I thought competition

371
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 4: was really all about. Like everything meant something to him.

372
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 4: And look, he didn't inspire not only very larking me,

373
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: but a legion of other kids who were playing the

374
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: sport loved how he went about his business.

375
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: It's amazing right now. But the earliest possible election for

376
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: Rose into the Hall of Fame would be in the

377
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: winter of twenty twenty seven and the decision to lift

378
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: the band to long time comings thirty six years. But

379
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: I do believe that after Pete's death is kind of

380
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: a slap in the face to he He rest in

381
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: peace and his family for sure, they're selling shirts now,

382
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: by the way in and around Cincinnati instead of rest

383
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: in peace Pete fourteen, hustle in peace. I mean, you know,

384
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: the story of Pete Rose has never gone away. He

385
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: probably made more money while he was alive, not being

386
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame, signing autographs and things like that,

387
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: baseballs and ortographs and going around to various functions and

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: just signing because I'm not so certain how many people

389
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: do not have a Pete Rose autograph. He was everywhere

390
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: and anywhere, But right before his passing he was in

391
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: an autograph show in Tennessee. I mean, just just the

392
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 2: way he was almost every weekend, he was out there hustling,

393
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 2: and he did it. And I don't think he would

394
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: have made that kind of cash if he was in

395
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. So and right now they're doing

396
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: it again. They're selling Pete Row. At the night of

397
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 2: the event Wednesday in Cincinnati, they were selling Pete Rose

398
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: little memorabilia of whatever. They were, like patches for thirty bucks,

399
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: a patch about that. Major League Baseball still making money

400
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: now they're making the money off Pete Rose. Amazing, amazing,

401
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: never stops. I wanted to see a Bucky Brooks patch.

402
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they'll do that, you think, so, I

403
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: don't know about that. On the phone line, I want

404
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: to see what the public has to say about Pete Rose.

405
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he he's a he's a fire plug, he

406
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: really is. I mean, he's a lightning rod. People have

407
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: an opinion with him basically pro con whatever it may be.

Speaker 2: We're gonna got to ask Bucky in about twelve minutes

439
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: from now, and it's amazing to me that the live

440
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: events that happened yesterday, we're talking about the day before,

441
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: the last twenty four to forty eight hours. The NBA

442
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: playoffs kind of push back now to segment two because

443
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: we talked about a Pete Rose and obviously the confrontation

444
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 2: between Angel and Caitlin and the WNBA yesterday. But we

445
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: talk about the NBA playoffs right now, let's talk about

446
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: Game seven. I don't think there's anything better in sports

447
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: than a Game seven. You talk about the Super Bowl,

448
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: sup Bowl It's great. I mean, really, isn't it.

449
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's nothing like it to see how

450
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 4: people handle the pressure of it.

451
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 3: Love it.

452
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: And we got a Game seven today. The Denver Nuggets

453
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: basically fought off elimination that was on Thursday night, won

454
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: nineteen win O seven in Game six of an Oklahoma

455
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: City Thunder. But really and truly it was a win.

456
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 2: But they suffered a big loss of that game because

457
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: they're power forward. Aaron Gordon suffered the left hamstring strain

458
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: in that game. He may not play today. Stat is

459
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: still up in the air. I say, he plays, What

460
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: do you think I think he's gonna play today?

461
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's gonna try and give it a go.

462
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: I just doubts that well, I mean you would, right,

463
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean an athlete.

464
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 3: Master of an athlete.

465
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 4: But like I say that prefacing, don't know the state

466
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 4: of the injury, don't know what he feels like internally

467
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: with the pain in those things. But typically Game seven vibes.

468
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 4: You do anything and everything you can to play as

469
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 4: long as you're not hurting your team. You want to

470
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: at least give your best shot to get out there

471
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: and give it a go.

472
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: No doubt now, now if you missed it. The injury

473
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: was like about two minutes to go in the fourth quarter,

474
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: which was a shame Oklahoma City. The guy who chuck Holmgren,

475
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: he took the ball away from Gordon, Gordon chased down,

476
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 2: He chased the ball, but Alex Caruso dove to get

477
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: possession of the ball. He tried to pass it, but

478
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: Gordon kicked the pass. That's what he did. And after

479
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: he kicked the pass, he grabbed his hamstring and he

480
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: looked like he was in a lot of pain. So

481
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: we'll see what happened. He stayed in the game for

482
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 2: about another minute or so and then he went back

483
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: to the bench about a minute left in the game.

484
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: He turned a little bit before the end of the game,

485
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: but he was limping. He just he had that giddy

486
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: up there. Didn't look good. He didn't look good though,

487
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens today if he's cleared or not.

488
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: And Isa say, I think they'll play. And I'm really

489
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: surprised with themver because they fired that coach with about

490
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: about three or four games up in the remains in

491
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: this season and now they're making a run here and

492
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: it's amazing to me. What's happening now in the NBA

493
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: with Cleveland being bounced out. They're a number one seed.

494
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City they're on the verge of being bounced out too,

495
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: and they're a number one seed. So maybe the regular

496
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: season doesn't really mean that much.

497
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a different game in the playoffs.

498
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: And we've seen it become a.

499
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: Different game in the playoffs, not only in terms of

500
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 4: the way the game slow down, but the level of

501
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 4: physicality going up that changes everything.

502
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: You have to be prepared to play that style of game.

503
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that everyone cruises through the regular season,

504
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: but it's just a drastic difference and this season's experience

505
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: will only help future teams get ready for the playoffs.

506
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 4: And so I think you'll see some number on scenes

507
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 4: in the future, play the guys maybe a little differently,

508
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: see them kind of change or tweak their style of

509
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: play to give themselves the best chance to get in

510
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: the playoffs. But let's be honest, the thing that is

511
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: really determining the playoffs is availability. The health of your stars,

512
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: the health of your key players. Can you have them

513
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: healthy in the postseason. Now, some would say, well that

514
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: brings about loads management But then I look at the

515
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: Knicks and the next aren't load management team. They played

516
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: their guys a ton of minutes and all of their

517
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: guys are available. So there will be some studies done

518
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: internally by teams to kind of figure out, Hey, what's

519
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: the best course of action for us to be ready

520
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: to play and win at a championship level.

521
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: No, you're exactly right. You talk about the Knicks, what

522
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: they did to the Boston Celtics. Another number one see

523
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: that was bounced out. It was Friday night, Madison Square Garden,

524
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: game six one, nineteen eighty one. I mean, wasn't even

525
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: a contest. However, you know, you talk about not having

526
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: your players over there with the injury factor, and Jason

527
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: Tatum didn't play head that achilles injury at the end

528
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: of game four, and now the announcer comes out there.

529
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown finished his season with the Celtics with a

530
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: partially on right meniscus. So my thing is this, I

531
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: was always against load management, but maybe it's a good thing.

532
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 2: Maybe they play too many games. Maybe that's the problem.

533
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are going down like flies, they

534
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: really are. I mean, Damian Lillard went down at the

535
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: end of April. I mean, you just you play like

536
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: you play like you do, and they play hard. These guys,

537
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: they really do. They run about i'd say four or

538
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: five miles a night for eighty two nights, I mean,

539
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you're expected to play

540
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: the top of your game in the playoffs, and the

541
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: playoffs are too damn long. They really are. They got

542
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: to do something because you don't want to see your

543
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: best players on the bench. We're not playing at all

544
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: when it comes to the playoffs.

545
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think, look, there are a bunch

546
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: of things that will be discussed and studied in the offseason.

547
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: Teams will kind of make their decision. I don't know

548
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 4: if load management is a good thing or a bad thing.

549
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen the load management people get hurt.

550
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 4: I keep hearing these old pros, the Kevin Garandast Paul Pierces,

551
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 4: the Matt Barnes they used to talk about part of

552
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: the problem is going back to training camp. They're not

553
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: having old school training camps where they're running the ton

554
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: and physically preparing themselves to get ready to play. A

555
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: lot of these guys are coming in out of shape,

556
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: so you having to work them into shape and do

557
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: all this other stuff, so you can't really get to

558
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 4: the ball part of it.

559
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

560
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to seeing some of the changes, but

561
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 4: it's obvious that something has to change because we can't

562
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 4: have so many stars sitting on the sideline the key moments.

563
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm with you there, I really And the first of all,

564
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: I watched that game. It was ugly. I mean, and

565
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: you know, I like tradition. Although I'm a New Yorker

566
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: and I love the Knicks. So it was the first

567
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: time in twenty five years they make the finals. So

568
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: that's a great thing. It's great to see change. You

569
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: don't want to see a team dominate. I mean the

570
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: Celtics again. But the Celtics were their full strength. I mean,

571
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not saying it's not fair. I realized

572
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: it's part of the game. But they were smacked around

573
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: pretty good by the Knicks on Friday night. It was ugly.

574
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: Well, they were smacked around.

575
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: But I think everyone has to figure out what your

576
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 4: superpowers are and how you minimize your weaknesses. And the Knicks,

577
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 4: I'll say this, the Boston Celtics, on paper, we're a

578
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: better team. The Boston Celtics that played throughout the regular

579
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 4: season were.

580
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: A better team.

581
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: The Knicks only way to knock them off was to

582
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 4: make the Celtics play on their terms, and so that

583
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: became more of a grindhouse, you know, make it a

584
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 4: physical game, kind of bang them around and kind of

585
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: hug them.

586
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: And mug them and see if they can win it

587
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: at the end. And they were able to do that.

588
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 4: Partially because the Celtics were enamored and fixated on getting

589
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 4: as many three point shots up as if possible, and

590
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 4: that created some opportunities for the Knicks to claw back

591
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 4: in it because these scoring lulls or the droughts where

592
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: they missed eight nine ten threes in a row man

593
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: that's eight nine ten possessions for the next where they

594
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 4: can go down here to two and you look up

595
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 4: and what was a big double digitally has now been

596
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: wooded all the way back down and you're in a

597
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: dog fight the rest of the game.

598
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: And it looked like the Celtics were really beat up

599
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: on the boards as well. The next beat them up

600
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: on the boards for whatever the reason I mean, And

601
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: just you're right, we talked about this last week a

602
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: little bit. You know, if the Celtics are not making

603
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: the threes, why don't they changing? And you told me,

604
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: you know, point blank, that's their game. You know, they

605
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: stick with it, that's their game plan to go out

606
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: there and had threes. And you don't have a guy

607
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: like Tatum or now Brown was hurt playing with that

608
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 2: meniscus tear on Friday, which he admitted, you know you're

609
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: not going to make your threes. Those year guys that

610
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: make the threes for.

611
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: You, Yeah, I mean they just I mean they live

612
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: by the three and they die by it three. And

613
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: we can sit here and talk about they should change

614
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: it up whatever, But it's been very successful for them.

615
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 4: You know, you talk about a team that went to

616
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: a finals at one, they have gone back to another

617
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: deep postseason run.

618
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: Why would you change it?

619
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 4: I think they can look at how they can better

620
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: preserve leads. I mean we're talking about to one of

621
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: the teams that was one of the best in the

622
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 4: league this year, coming off of a stretch where they

623
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 4: want it. I don't see they incentive to really change

624
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: a whole lot based on what they were doing.

625
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: I got a little bit of a statistic here, and

626
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not too sure what it means, but it's

627
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: just them nevertheless, which tells you something. When the Celtics

628
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: were eliminated from the players Friday night, now we could

629
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: say there's been no defending NBA champion has advanced past

630
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: the second round since the Golden State Warriors made the

631
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: finals in twenty nineteen. Okay, the lack of a repeat champion,

632
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, maybe that's because of the health factor and

633
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: the injury factor. Maybe I don't know, and maybe it's

634
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: a good thing. And you know, I don't want to see.

635
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Back in the day when the Celtics won like nine

636
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: titles in eleven years, it was great for the people

637
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: that Boston, but I think it wasn't not healthy for

638
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: the league. But the reason why they're not repeating now

639
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: I think has a lot to do with the injury factor.

640
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, just think about it.

641
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 4: You go on a deep run you're talking about into June,

642
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: you're playing basketball, and then they come back to camp

643
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 4: I think in October. That's not a lot of time

644
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: off in between. And if you have multiple deep postseason runs,

645
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 4: it's the cumulative effect of so many extra games, whether

646
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: it's you know, the postseason games that kind of lean

647
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: on you were on where there's physically or mentally that's

648
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: a lot to endure, and some of what you're seeing

649
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 4: teams faltering after having success the previous year is just

650
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: really fatigue, mental exhaustion, physical exhaustion, all of those things

651
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 4: preventing teams from being able to kind of finish it

652
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: out the way they want to.

653
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: Now you've seen this or you've been around, you're an athlete,

654
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: you play in the NFL, you talk to these guys.

655
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: I give a lot of credit that teams that the

656
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: teams that can repeat because they still have that burning

657
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: desire to repeat, like the Kansas City Chiefs. I see that. Okay,

658
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: But is there a factor that after you finally climb

659
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: the mountain and win it, now you say, well we've

660
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: done that, been there, done that. There's a kind of

661
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: like you take a breath, blow out a layer, and

662
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: you know, you kind of relax a little bit because

663
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: you've done it well, you don't want to replace it.

664
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 4: There is I would think, yeah, I mean there's some

665
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: complacency that comes in, like we're wired to think that, hey,

666
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: once you have an accomplishment, I deserve a treat or reward.

667
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: I want to step back take it easy rather than

668
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 4: scale it up to go harder to have more success

669
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 4: in those things. It's just natural human nature that when

670
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: you have a little success, some complacency sets in. The

671
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: key to being able to have long sustainable success is

672
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 4: to be able to continue to set new goals and

673
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: maybe to bring in some fresh faces who haven't experienced

674
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 4: it but are hungry to experience it. Data continue to

675
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 4: keep the edge up so you can deal with some

676
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: of the feisty teams that are trying to come after.

677
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: You, which gives you so much more respect for the

678
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: New England Patriots what they've accomplished. And maybe that is

679
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: more on the shoulders of Tom Brady than anything else,

680
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: because he had that I guess internal drive, like he

681
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: just wanted to do it. I mean the stories you

682
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: hear about Tom Brady, the way he dieted, the way

683
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: he ate, the way he practiced, I mean, what he did.

684
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: And maybe because he was drafted in the sixth round

685
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: to prove that, hey, look I'm better than that. Perhaps

686
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

687
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's a lot to it, there's a

688
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 4: lot of motivation to it or whatever. What I will

689
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: say is this success is tied to tom Brady, but

690
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: it's not wholly dependent upon Tom Brady. Like give him

691
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: credit for being the clutch performing those things with Bill

692
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: Belichick and that defense and a lot of playmakers around

693
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: Tom Brady helped make that happen.

694
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: But I give Bill Belichick credit for.

695
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: Keeping the team focused and the way that he kept

696
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: the team focused. Sometimes you cut a notable star each

697
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 4: year in the offseason to wake them up, to make

698
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 4: sure everyone knows that they've got to earn everything, and

699
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 4: sometimes it's just being able to really get them to

700
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: buy into the one day at a time philosophy that

701
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 4: you hear so many coaches talking about.

702
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm so happy you mentioned Bill belichick'sname of giving him credit,

703
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: because I heard a guy on the Full Letter Network.

704
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 2: I won't even men sure his name. I didn't want

705
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: to give him any notoriety, and he just stuck his

706
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: face in the screen and the camera kind of bad

707
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: mouthing Belichick cause what's happening right now with his girlfriend

708
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: or whatever it may be. Says Belichick accomplished nothing because

709
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: it was all Tom Brady, the guy. I hoping he

710
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: said that for clicks, because if he said that and

711
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: he really meant that, then he's an idiot. And I'll

712
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: tell you why, because as soon as I heard that,

713
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: I said, wait a minute, So that means Vince Lombardi

714
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: was not a good coach. It was all about Bart Starr.

715
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, really, I mean the coach has

716
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: to get some credit.

717
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: The coach has to get credit.

718
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 4: And I'll say this, there's never been a great coach

719
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 4: who hasn't benefited from having great players. You think about

720
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers being great, and

721
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 4: how much we celebrate his acumen and his legacy, Well,

722
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 4: think about the hall of famers that have come from

723
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: that era when he was a coach. To be a

724
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: great coach, and not only about the ex's and o's,

725
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: it's about taking great players and finding a way to

726
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: get them to play at their highest level. Bill Belichick

727
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: has been able to do it for a long time,

728
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 4: which is why he's deserving it being called to go.

729
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. And you are the goat here,

730
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: You're the goat on this show, or no doubt about that.

731
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: He's Bucket Brooks. I may Deferman And by the way,

732

Speaker 2: Right around the Corner's about twelve minutes now before the

739
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: top of the hour. This is Fox Sports Sunday on

00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: we go with ask Bucky. We won't make it too difficult.

743
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: Today we talked about the WNBA. First question. They open

744
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: their season this weekend. Is it time Bucky Brooks to

745
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: put the WNBA in the Big four? I'm talking about

746
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, NFL, NHL, NBA. Does somebody get bounce

747
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 2: in that group of four and put the WNBA in there?

748
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: No, But if one team is one sport is vulnerable,

749
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 4: I would say that would be hockey NHL.

750
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: But right now WNBA Steele is a little bit behind.

751
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: All right. They're pushing them. Though they're pushing them. The

752
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: NBA TV ratings took a dip during the playoffs, so

753
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: did their draft lottery show. What changes would you make

754
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: to increase NBA TV viewership.

755
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 4: Who it's tough because everyone's exposed of so many different things. Look,

756
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 4: I think the stars got to show up and play

757
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: in those primetime moments when you want to see them

758
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: and you know.

759
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 3: It's just weird. You got to continue to grow your

760
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 3: game from a grassroots level.

761
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: So get all your former youth basketball players to high school,

762
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 4: travel whatever, get back and ultimately thatta helps them prepare forward.

763
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: All right. We talked about this a little bit regarding

764
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs and what happened with the Boston Celtics, but

765
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: in a fifteen day span, two NBA superstars suffered season

766
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: ending Achilles tears. Damian Lillard. We mentioned that that was

767
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: back in April the twenty seventh, Jason Tatum last Monday.

768
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: Do these injuries now that they put the eighty two

769
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: regular season schedule in jeopardy and maybe there's going to

770
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: be a chance of maybe playing less game during the

771
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: regular season.

772
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 3: You know, I wonder? I think so.

773
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: I think you could probably tweet that up a little

774
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 4: bit to set it up to make it probably better

775
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 4: of you. So, yeah, if you can figure out a

776
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: way to kind of rework the schedule to make it

777
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 4: better why not.

778
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: You know, let me kind of add an addendum to that,

779
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: if I may. You know, right now, I think that

780
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 2: we're overloaded with statistics, and we hear about guys breaking

781
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: records in the National Football League for rushing and passing.

782
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: There's never an asterisk next to their record because they

783
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: play more games. They play seventeen games as opposed to fourteen.

784
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: Or when I was a young kid, a young they

785
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 2: played twelve games, but no one cares about that. They

786
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: just care about numbers and they make it a record.

787
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: It's not really a record. They do that now in

788
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: the NBA, and they're doing it now. As far as

789
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: like with kareem Ola points he scored, well, there were

790
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: so many more playoff games when he played. Maybe I'm

791
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 2: too picky, but I'm a statistic freak and a record keeper,

792
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: and you gotta get the records correct. You got to

793
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: get them to such an extent that your record in

794
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: five years from now is gonna be the same as

795
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: it was five years ago. And it's not. If you're

796
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 2: playing more games, it's meaningless, don't you agree, guys?

797
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, changes, It changes the sets, It changes

798
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 4: how you recognize them. It shouldn't, but that's American history. Like,

799
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 4: no one's going through every bag before they need everything.

800
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 4: It just kind of happens. And when you do it

801
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 4: like that, you have some people that get left by

802
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: the wayside.

803
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. It's about quarterbacks passing with

804
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: four thousand yards, were playing seventeen games. It's different. All right,

805
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: we move on. I'm sorry. Trey Hendrickson led the NFL

806
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: in socks last year. He tells us since any Bengals

807
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna sit out have he doesn't get a new

808
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: contract yet, he has a year left on his deal

809
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: and obviously the Bengals have all the leverage with this.

810
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: What does Hendrickson really have to deal with because he's

811
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: not gonna sit out, There's no way he's turning down

812
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars. No way.

813
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: Well, he has to take a hard line to say

814
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: in either he's gonna sit out or he's gonna have

815
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: to settle from when Mike Brown wants to pay him.

816
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: He doesn't have any recourse and be fine like crazy

817
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: from missing out most of the first week, and then

818
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 4: it's just a matter of trying to figure out how

819
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: to make it all work.

820
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 3: Interesting, dynamic, interesting, situation though.

821
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: It really is. I mean, he did the same thing

822
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: last year, and it's just a funny situation. I mean,

823
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: if you don't like your contract, you should have got

824
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: thought about that way back when. However, I will say this,

825
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: you know the Jamar Chase and the t. Higgins deal,

826
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 2: they were rewritten and they got new deals. But again,

827
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: as you mentioned to me, and I always listened to

828
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: what you have to say, this team is built on offense.

829
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: They're not built on defense, and they want to pay

830
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 2: the offensive guys.

831
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 4: Yes, it's easy to pay your stars on offense right now, right.

832
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 2: And on my take is this, the defense stunk last

833
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: year even with him and he did leave the league sack.

834
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: They stunk, so why pay him. I mean maybe that's

835
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: a stupid logic, right, but they were The defense was

836
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: terrible and he and he led the league in sacks,

837
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: So what's the difference. I mean, if he's there or

838
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: not there, they were just bad. They're gonna win if

839
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 2: they do, and they're gonna win games like forty one

840
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 2: thirty eight pickers. They're gonna outsquare the opponent.

841
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they put a lot of person on

842
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 4: Dre Burier Company to get it done. But this guy, look,

843
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: he's a recond ball off the edge. Don't know why

844
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: it's such an issue right now. That's probably has something

845
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 4: to do with the apron whatever the tax or show.

846
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: But he needs to be there. They need to figure

847
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 3: out a way to get this done.

848
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: Oh at last, but not least, we haven't had this

849
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: question before. I want to know a Bucky Brooks career

850
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 2: highlight besides working here you know on Sundays, But what's

851
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: your career highlight?

852
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 4: Career highlight, Let's see being a part of those Factors

853
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 4: teams that eventually went to a super Bowl. I wasn't

854
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: on that team specifically there because I was playing in

855
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 4: jacks Mille, but I was there the first nine weeks.

856
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: I would say, just playing with all those legendary players,

857
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: Brett Farv, Reggie White, being able to go to Buffalo

858
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 4: and play with legendary players and Thermer Thomas and Andre Reid.

859
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 4: I think about my count I played with maybe eighteen

860
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 4: or nineteen Hall of famers. I think for a kid

861
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: who just had little aspirations of playing in the league,

862
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: I think I'll always hold that near and did the Mahart.

863
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: That's wonderful, it really is all right. He's Bucky Brooks.

864
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 2: I'm Andy Fern. We're just getting started right here. And

865
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 2: by the way, all of a sudden, one NFL team

866
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: has quite a real break that and more. Aware of

867
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday coming up right here, stay with us next. Hey,

868
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: there's one NFL team done before the start of the season.

869
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute. Good morning, everybody.

870
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox Sports Radio. He's

871
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks'm Andy Fern, and we're broadcasting live from the

872
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios and of course his Bucky Brooks.

873
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: As I mentioned the future Hall of Famer, you are

874
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: a hall of how many hall of fames are you in?

875
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: Let's see how many hall of fames? School hall of

876
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 3: Fame right there? Maybe two?

877
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, the high school and there's something locally, but that's

878
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 4: about it.

879
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 2: I never realized how many high schools have hall of Fames.

880
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: I remember, I mean my high school, I'm sure does

881
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: not have a Hall of Fame. I mean, I mean

882
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: just the way it was. I mean half the guys

883
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: in my high school graduated from in prison.

884
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 3: Now I mean, okay, well that's that's not great.

885
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: But there has to be something to recognize the outstanding

886
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 4: contributors from your high school.

887
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: There has to be Sandy went.

888
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: To my high school, and there's no way but Sandy

889
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: Colfax went to my high school and there's no high

890
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: school Hall of Fame. That's the end of that.

891
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 4: Start that's I mean, that's that's that's crazy. There has

892
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: to be like a trophy case or something that recognizes

893
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 4: some of those guys, and if not, you can start

894
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 4: a petition because that's ridiculous.

895
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: If Sandy Cox i't recognize.

896
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: Well, I will say this. I remember in my sophomore

897
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: year at high school, they had a trophy case and

898
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: had a Sandy Colfax glove in the case. It was stolen.

899
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 2: So that was the end of that. I mean, it

900
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 2: was a tough high school. It really is the way

901
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: it was. You know, they stole this glove out of

902
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: the case. So the end of that story.

903
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: What could I say?

904
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking the whole of things, I found

905
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: this out the other day. Are you a fan? And

906
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 2: maybe they don't have it in your area of White Castle?

907
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: Those little hamburgers?

908
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm okay with it. I had like White Castle,

909
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 4: not in North Carolina. But when I was in Kansas

910
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: City White Castle, and in fact, White Castle has a

911
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.

912
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 6: That's right.

913
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: I wasna mentioned. I just found that out. I just

914
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: found that I'm a big White Castle guy, all right.

915
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: And there was a White Castle right across the street

916
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: from my high school, Lafet High School in Brooklyn. I

917
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: used to go there for lunch like four times a

918
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: week really and at the time, and I want to

919
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: show my age. But the Hamburger is, now, what are

920
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: there like sixty cents, seventy cents, eighty I don't even

921
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: know what they are right now, but I know when

922
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: I was a kid, they were twelve cents. They were

923
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: twelve cents of hamburger, you know. But now I think

924
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 2: they're like seventy cents whatever it might be. But I'm

925
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: hooked on them.

926
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 3: You know.

927
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: It's like a disease. You know. Some people are a crack.

928
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: I'm White Castle. So I'm going to try to get

929
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 2: myself in the White Castle Hall of Fame. That's what

930
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: I want to do. That's one of my jobs.

931
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I want to that's what you're trying to do.

932
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to be in the White Castle Hall

933
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: of Fame. That'll be I'll be the only one from

934
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. I'm sure in the White Castle Hall

935
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: of Fame. That's what I'm trying to do.

936
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: And we move on.

937
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: See, look, you introduced me. Whatever the I don't know

938
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: where the Hall of Fame is, but I think it's

939
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 2: in I think it might be in Long Island, Long Island.

940
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm gonna check on that. I'm gonna

941
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 2: work on that, but I will say this. He called

942
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 2: the he called the situation a place to die. They're

943
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: one of the craziest stories I read recently. There was

944
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: a book just put out by Seth Wickersham had a

945
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 2: book called American King's Ibiography of the Quarterback, right, and

946
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: he talked about the Chicago Bears. He'd been around for

947
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 2: one hundred and five years in the NFL. They never

948
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: had a quarterback to throw for four thousand and more

949
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: passing yards in a year. That's an amazing stat it

950
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: really is. But the team has always been somewhat built

951
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: on defense, right, I mean that's why it was.

952
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, that is what it was. It's always

953
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 4: been built on defense. That has been a big part

954
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: of their identity. And I mean, look, I'm Okay, okay

955
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 4: with all of this that stuff, But I can't wait

956
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: for you to go on where I think you're going

957
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 4: with Caleb Williams and all of this, yes, yes, sillingness

958
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 4: that we need to talk about Ryan.

959
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, the first overall pick in the twenty twenty

960
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: four NFL Draft. He wanted to get a solution to

961
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: avoid becoming a Chicago Bear because he said, it's a

962
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: place where quarterbacks die, right, And he and his and

963
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 2: his father and they had an attorney. They wanted to

964
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 2: bypass the NFL draft, and they wanted to sign with

965
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: the United Football League for a year to avoid being

966
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: chosen by the Chicago Bears. I get it, but why

967
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: go public with that? Now? I've always say with various

968
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: things that you do in life, you got to ask

969
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: yourself the question, what's the upside? Well, I guess the

970
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: upside here is gonna make some bunks off a book.

971
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 2: But how much money you going to make off a book? Really?

972
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: Why do you do this? What's the upside? To tell

973
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: the people that are paying you big money and your

974
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: teammates it's a place to die and you don't want

975
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: to play there, don't get it?

976
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

977
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean, like, look, I can understand it and summon

978
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: this as part of the player empowerment movement where we've

979
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 4: seen people kind of use their influence.

980
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: Remember Eli Manning is Archie Manning.

981
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 4: They used the power of influence to get him out

982
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 4: of the situation that he didn't want to be in

983
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 4: in San Diego and get him to New York, which

984
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 4: is more favorable when it came to the organizational structure

985
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 4: of the New York Giants. So he's not the first

986
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 4: one to have talked about kind of flexing and using

987
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 4: this power.

988
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 3: But I think what it does.

989
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 4: Is it creates a very awkward situation now where he

990
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 4: is a Chicago Bear, he is a part of the

991
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 4: franchise and part of the team. Those words and the

992
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 4: commentary that happened before the draft, that's one thing, but

993
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 4: it taints how fans and even some of his teammates

994
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 4: who view him, you know going forward, like the city

995
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 4: is not going to be quick to fall in love

996
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 4: with someone who really didn't want to be there. And

997
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 4: so what was already going to be a pressure pack

998
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 4: year for Kayleb Williams, he just added more pressure because

999
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: this team and him, he's expected to be a sport star.

1000
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 4: This team's expected to do big things because they've upgraded

1001
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 4: a sportingcast around him. If he does not play like that, man,

1002
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 4: the boobirds are gonna be out quickly in Chicago because

1003
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 4: this dude hasn't shown that he really wants to embrace

1004
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 4: the city.

1005
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 2: If I was Caleb Williams, or I was his manager

1006
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 2: or his PR guy, and he had any inkling of

1007
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: saying what he said that it's a place for quarterbacks

1008
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: to die, I would take him over and say, you know,

1009
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: this is what you need to do. You need to

1010
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: call a news conference and say I looked at the

1011
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: history of this ball club. I love the history. I

1012
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 2: love the great players that played for the Chicago Bears.

1013
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: They had some great players here, had some great teams.

1014
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: The refrigerated Perry's, you name him, they were here. I

1015
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: want to be the first quarterback to throw for four

1016
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: thousand yards. That's what I would have said. Instead of

1017
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: a place to die, say I want to go in

1018
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears record book with all these great players

1019
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: that have played here, all right, and be the first

1020
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 2: quarterback to throw for four thousand plus yards. That's what

1021
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: he should have said.

1022
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 3: I mean that's what he should have said.

1023
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 4: Now that he didn't say, they got to go right

1024
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: back and figure out how to make how to make

1025
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 4: this better, because this is a problem. It's really a

1026
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 4: problem like Andy, like this dude is viewed as the

1027
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 4: face of the franchise, but the face of the franchise

1028
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 4: doesn't want to be.

1029
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 3: A part of the franchise.

1030
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 4: We know that. Now that comes out in a book.

1031
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 4: That's a major thing to me. On Monday, first day

1032
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 4: they get back to workouts, he has to stand in

1033
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 4: front of the press and he has to knock this

1034
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 4: out head on. He has to talk about whatever he said.

1035
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: The context provide all of it. Because you have a

1036
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 4: fan base that is so excited about what this team

1037
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 4: could be under Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. To hear

1038
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: that your QB one didn't like the franchise, may not

1039
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 4: have wanted to be there. There was talks about him

1040
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 4: going to the UFL and re entering like that's a

1041
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: lot of stuff to deal with. If you're a fan,

1042
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 4: it's very hurtful because you love your team. So to

1043
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 4: hear that wo better better.

1044
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 3: Kind of kind of find a way to kind of

1045
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 3: eliminate this real.

1046
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: Quick well, last year he threw for thirty five hundred

1047
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: plus yards. He had twenty touchdowns only six picks. Okay,

1048
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 2: I will say this. You know, I didn't realize books

1049
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: create that much of a problem. What do I mean

1050
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: by that Bill Belichick wrote a book and the fact

1051
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: that his fiance or his girlfriend or his significant other,

1052
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: Jordan basically interrupted during the CBS Sunday Morning interview. That's

1053
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 2: getting like tons tons of pushback and North Carolina they

1054
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: said she was banned. Whatever it may be. We'll get

1055
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 2: into that. But this is worse. This is worse. I mean,

1056
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: what did Bill Belichick do. He's got a girlfriend. I mean,

1057
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 2: what's the big deal? She's helping out and then everybody

1058
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: went crazy and she's just trying to protect them and

1059
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: she's kind of handling the social media aspects that she

1060
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 2: could relate to that probably more so than Bill Belichick can.

1061
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: And they're making a big deal about that. This thing

1062
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 2: is going to explode. I think this is worse. I

1063
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 2: think what Caleb Williams did is worse.

1064
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is worse.

1065
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 4: And they're gonna have to navigate this because this potentially

1066
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 4: is a pr disaster just in terms of like how

1067
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 4: the fans could react to him if this skill, if

1068
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 4: this story really really blows up on a major scale.

1069
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 4: What people have done is they've taken parts of what

1070
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 4: came out about this and not so much him not

1071
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 4: wanting to be there, but how they feel like he

1072
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 4: was ill prepared to play, that the Bears didn't do

1073
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 4: enough to prepare him to play.

1074
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: Some of those things will kind of.

1075
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 4: Look allow it allow them to focus on the team

1076
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 4: and the team's dysfunction as opposed to the quarterback. But

1077
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 4: I think the astute evaluators, the people around the team,

1078
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 4: the guys that are looking at the chemistry and connectivity

1079
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 4: of the team, they gonna play close attention to him

1080
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: to see one how he's fitting into the team too,

1081
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 4: Who does he have with him that's fitting in with him,

1082
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 4: who is best sees in those things?

1083
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 3: All of that matters.

1084
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 2: I had never realized that there were players. I guess

1085
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: some players are looking at various teams that they think

1086
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 2: they could fit in and want to be part of.

1087
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: But honestly, on draft night, are you just tickle pink

1088
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: that you drafted? I mean, really, I mean, are there

1089
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: that many players that you have mom for the years

1090
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: that say I never want them to be here. I

1091
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: never want them to be on this team.

1092
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like, yeah, like people are complaining privately,

1093
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 4: but that that's not for public discourse.

1094
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: You never want to.

1095
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 4: Put that out there, like, oh, you're selected by the

1096
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills. Man, I hate the Bills. No, hey, you

1097
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 4: know what, love the tradition, YadA, YadA YadA. Then you

1098
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 4: may hang you the phone. I'm like, man, this a

1099
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 4: tough one, not where I was hoping to but we'll

1100
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 4: make it work.

1101
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1102
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: No, there's some of that that goes on it. But

1103
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 4: you know, every fan base want to feel like they're

1104
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 4: the best fan base and that every player on the

1105
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 4: team wants to be there.

1106
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 3: Well about that at least the discord.

1107
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: Right, But let's talk about another quarter. Like cam Ward.

1108
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 2: He was drafted number one by Tennessee. He knew going

1109
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 2: in that he's probably gonna be the number one pick.

1110
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 2: And you also know when you're the number one pick,

1111
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 2: you're going to go to the worst team. So I

1112
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 2: think that you look at that as a challenge, saying

1113
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 2: I think I'm the guy A they want me, and

1114
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 2: B they want me to turn the franchise around. I

1115
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: think it's a positive, don't you.

1116
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's a positive.

1117
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 4: They want you to turn the franchise around and those things.

1118
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 4: I think all of it can be true at once.

1119
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 4: They can fully be behind you in those scenes, but

1120
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 4: they also want the other stuff.

1121
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much. If I'm cam Ward,

1122
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: I'm tickled pink right now. Obviously, Tennessee not a major market,

1123
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: so you're not hearing much about it. But he got

1124
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 2: to thank sh Door saying this because no one's talking

1125
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: about him more often than not. The first pick in

1126
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: the draft, and normally a quarterback, they follow him. They

1127
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 2: follow him into the shower, into the toilet, wherever it is.

1128
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: They're right about him every single day. I haven't heard

1129
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 2: a peep about cam Ward, have you?

1130
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 3: Not a lot? Not a lot. And let's be honest.

1131
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 4: Coming in in the quarterback class, like kim Ward may

1132
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 4: have been viewed as the best, Shuder Sanders was viewed

1133
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 4: as the star. I mean, let's just be honest. I mean,

1134
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 4: it is what it is. He's a fifth round pick

1135
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 4: and all that. But when we talk about star quality,

1136
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 4: star player, the kind of intrigue that can catapult you

1137
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 4: in the superstardom, Shuder Sanders has that.

1138
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 3: Part of that is due to his last.

1139
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 4: Name just being the Santa coach Prime, playing all of

1140
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 4: those major games at Colorado and even on a lesser

1141
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 4: scale like at Jackson State.

1142
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: Like he's had enough.

1143
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 4: Remember we talked about the WNBA and how the WNBA

1144
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 4: has benefited from college basketball building up their stars, and

1145
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: so there's a collection of people that come with the

1146
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 4: stars from women's college basketball to the WNBA. Well, Shudur

1147
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 4: Sanders has done that because people have seen it, they

1148
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 4: fell in love with the well either fell in love

1149
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 4: or hate with the brand, and so they want to

1150
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 4: see it. And so the NFL has been able to

1151
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 4: sell him easy because he wasn't a Johnny Come. Lately,

1152
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 4: there's been a lot of recognition around sim where kem

1153
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 4: Ward was a bit of an unknown. He goes to Miami,

1154
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 4: and Miami is the only place where the people heard

1155
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 4: him pop, but it was late in the process. That's

1156
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 4: why we haven't heard so much about him. He's not

1157
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 4: an established star where Shoulder Sanders is already started despite

1158
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 4: his status as a fifth round pick.

1159
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's move over to you guy, Travis Hunter.

1160
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 2: For a second, Did I not hear or see a

1161
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 2: story that he was on a plane and he did

1162
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 2: a nice gestion too. I mean, that's that's amazing, and

1163
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: that story. You got to relay that story because that

1164
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: to me was he was on a planet that he

1165
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 2: gave up a seat for a woman. What exactly how

1166
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 2: I forgot the entire story.

1167
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 4: Well, he just had a great interaction with a woman,

1168
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 4: be it whether it's giving up his seat or talking

1169
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 4: to him.

1170
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 3: But just very but you always hope.

1171
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 4: For when it comes to like people talking about like

1172
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 4: your players, taking about your family. Just just a gentleman

1173
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 4: in every sense of the way. The way he handled himself,

1174
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 4: very polite in those things. And then when you find

1175
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 4: out he's a second overall, it just speaks to his character.

1176
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 4: Just a really good dude. And for me, I'm excited

1177
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 4: obviously being affiliate with the Jacksonville Jaguars, just knowing that

1178
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 4: man they got this kind of dude here, and how

1179
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 4: infectious his personality, his work ethic, how that's going to

1180
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 4: kind of blend in and change the dynamics of the team.

1181
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: What upset me with that story and this You're going

1182
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: to think I'm crazy when I tell you this, but

1183
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 2: I love the fact that he didn't say at first

1184
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 2: what he did or what he was, and woman said, oh,

1185
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: who are you what? And he said, I a professional

1186
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: football player. He played for Jacksonville. The woman went crazy,

1187
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: and he was just a total gentleman. What upset me

1188
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: is the fact that the way the story was presented

1189
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: is like, Wow, an athlete could be nice. That's the

1190
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: way I took it. Am I mistaken on that?

1191
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 3: No?

1192
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 4: No, I just I think at a time when you

1193
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 4: see someone who is as big as he is, right,

1194
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 4: take the time to still remember his manners and all

1195
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 4: that other stuff like, nah, that's refreshing in this time,

1196
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 4: and for someone who still has reverence and respect for adults, elders, man,

1197
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 4: you love all of that. So to me, it's not

1198
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 4: necessarily that, oh, an athlete can be nice, but it's wow,

1199
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 4: this applaud the behavior that we want to see replicated. Uh,

1200
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 4: you don't always see these people act nice just because

1201
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 4: of it. And so given his status number two overall

1202
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 4: Star Hosman Trophy winner, to have a positive interaction like

1203
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 4: that celebrated, Oh you want to continue to talk about.

1204
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 2: That, No doubt about that. Yeah. I just think that

1205
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: there was some broadcasters that said, oh, wow, and athlete

1206
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: did something good. I mean, rather than the dui or

1207
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: wife beating whoever it may be. But I'll tell you

1208
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: right now, for that act alone, he should get that

1209
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: Gail Staeres Award just for that act alone. And they

1210
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: get the Player of the Year one whatever it may be,

1211
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: a Citizen of the Year, the Gail Shaers thing. I

1212
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: think that's the award, isn't it. I mean, you know

1213
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: all about those awards in the National Football.

1214
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 3: I mean, it's few different things, waltch Payton Man of

1215
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 3: the Year different.

1216
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 4: You have different things where you can be recognized for

1217
00:55:58,520 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 4: who you are and what you are, what you're bring.

1218
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 3: To the table. There you go.

1219
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna talk about the the NFL schedule

1220
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: which was released the other day, and when they hype

1221
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 2: it up and promote it, and again the NFL is

1222
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: unbelievable at that day, the best the thought about it

1223
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 2: is a joke. But the TV ratings for the NFL

1224
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 2: schedule probably beat the NBA playoffs. I haven't checked, but

1225
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: it's an amazing situation. I don't know of any other sport,

1226
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: any other sport, maybe maybe college football, maybe that could

1227
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: attract an audience on TV. For a schedule release, and

1228
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: more often than not, you know half the teams. The

1229
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 2: teams play anyway because they're division games. It's an amazing thing.

1230
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: Is it the gambling what attracts people to tune in

1231
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: to the TV to watch a schedule release?

1232
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 4: I don't get it, man, It's selling dreams. Is your

1233
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 4: opportunity to sail the dream? This is how my team

1234
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 4: can come back to. One thing that we do know

1235
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 4: about the NFL is they've made it very competitive. We

1236
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 4: can go from worse to first quickly and have championship

1237
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 4: aspirations looking no further than to Washington Commanders and what they.

1238
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 3: Were able to do with Jayden Daniels.

1239
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: Because of that, everyone wants to see a we knowed,

1240
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 4: listened to the opponents, but how are we going to

1241
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 4: take them down? It looks as fun, it's fascinating, but

1242
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 4: it says the table for a bunch of other things,

1243
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 4: including fantasy football, because you have to talk about one

1244
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 4: to talk about the other.

1245
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 2: It's amazing right now. Okay, they had the thing in Indianapolis, Dude,

1246
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: the combine, they have the draft, what's next? The schedule release?

1247
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: What's because they have this thing kind of like scripted

1248
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: right up to I guess practice, now what's going on.

1249
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 4: We'll have mini camp weekends and those things, but then

1250
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 4: the next big ten pole event will be back to

1251
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 4: football weekend. It'll be the beginning of training camp. Everyone's

1252
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 4: going back and you'll see the league put cameras and

1253
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 4: people at every one of the training camp so we

1254
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 4: can begin to talk about coming back and building the appetite.

1255
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 3: For fans. That's that's what it's about.

1256
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 4: It's about setting the table and just letting them lustily

1257
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 4: look at all the.

1258
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 3: Teams and wanted to play and all that other stuff.

1259
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 2: So it's just that's June, right, It's great first.

1260
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 4: I mean that mini camps and stuff would be June,

1261
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 4: so there'd be that, and then there would be inside

1262
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 4: training camp. Oh, that stuff starts at the beginning of

1263
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 4: the summer work like not to bend into summer workouts,

1264
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 4: beginning training camp, when training camp starts to the end

1265
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 4: of July.

1266
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: It really and truly it's here. It's like right around

1267
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: the corner. It really is. It never stops. So you

1268
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: got you gotta feel sorry for the UFL. You're not

1269
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 2: a football league because people, I mean, you could just

1270
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 2: pray people on the street either a they have never

1271
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 2: heard of it, or be the kid named two teams

1272
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 2: in that league and it's amazing because it's the same sport,

1273
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 2: isn't it true? I mean, I don't get it. I

1274
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 2: guess those people, the guys that play in that league

1275
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 2: are either also rants that never made the NFL or

1276
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 2: hopefuls that want to try to make the NFL.

1277
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like, look there guys that are hopeful.

1278
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 4: You're hoping to develop a handful of players that can

1279
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 4: make it in that league. And it's something to do

1280
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 4: all over the weekend when you are look, you need

1281
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 4: to get your fix on football. You can tune over,

1282
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 4: tune over and watch that, watch some of those games.

1283
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 4: Some people are betting on those games.

1284
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 3: Whatever it is.

1285
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 4: You get a chance to kind of look at it

1286
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 4: a little differently. So I understand the opportunity, understand cashing

1287
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 4: in on it.

1288
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 3: But Spring League, no doubt about that.

1289
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 2: I tell you what We're going to get into the schedule. Okay,

1290
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: I know everybody talks about the schedule. We're going to

1291
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 2: take a look at some schedule highlights and what teams

1292
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: are winners in the schedule, what team's maybe got a break.

1293
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: But what teams are really hurting. So we'll get to that,

1320
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 2: let's get into the schedule situation if we can be,

1321
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at the San Francisco forty nine ers

1322
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four that were hit very, very hard

1323
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 2: with injuries and this season, believe it or not, they

1324
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 2: have the easiest strength of schedule in the league based

1325
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: on the opponent's twenty percentage from last year. Last season,

1326
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: they finished with the hardest schedule twenty percentage of fifty

1327
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 2: six percent against them last year. So right now, it's

1328
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 2: all right there for the Niners to bounce back in

1329
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: a big way. If you're a non offen, you kind of,

1330
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: like you say, you look at the schedule and you

1331
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: kind of looks wishes and hopes and dreams big way

1332
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 2: for the Niners to come back and bounce back in

1333
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.

1334
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a big way for them to

1335
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 3: bounce back.

1336
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 2: One.

1337
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 4: Their quarterback is gonna be happy. He doesn't have an uncertainty,

1338
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 4: so he should be able to play better. To the schedule,

1339
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 4: gives them a bit of a break when it comes

1340
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 4: to us. I think we look, they're gonna be a

1341
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 4: good team. I think this is to bounce back. They're

1342
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 4: committed to resetting. They bring Robert Solid back to fix

1343
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 4: the defense. All signs of points and them kind of

1344
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 4: re emerging as a team to be in the division.

1345
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Okay, and they're playing the Chicago Bears, the Giants and

1346
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. You got to leave. Those are three

1347
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: wins right there. So they were in pretty much shape.

1348
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 3: Man.

1349
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 4: We just count counted the chickens. Count the chickens before

1350
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 4: the hats are already. We see so many PEPs.

1351
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 3: We just we just say, hey, no, that that we

1352
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 3: got this. We're good. That's what we're feeling.

1353
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know what's funny, I'll ask you this question.

1354
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 2: I mean the San Francisco forty nine is the players

1355
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 2: as a group. I'm sure some of them have seen that.

1356
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Do they feel the same way. Do they look at

1357
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: the schedule that they play, say wow, we should do

1358
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: rather well this year. Is it a confidence booster or

1359
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 2: they just poop poo it? What do they do when

1360
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: they see the schedule like that?

1361
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes you look at it and you'd be

1362
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 4: a confidence booster, but you always know that no, Look,

1363
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 4: it's never the same. What was last year doesn't mean

1364
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 4: it's going to be this year. So you can't take

1365
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 4: it light. But yeah, you feel like there's a path

1366
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 4: early for you to have a lot of success if

1367
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 4: you take care of your business.

1368
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you right right now, we talked about

1369
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: the Giants that got the most difficult schedule. The difficult

1370
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 2: strength is schedule based on their opponent's twinny percentage almost

1371
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent from last year. But they open, get this,

1372
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 2: The Giants open with road games against the Commanders and

1373
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. All right, oh, and two home openers for

1374
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 2: division rivals. Not good. Then they host the Chiefs and

1375
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 2: the Charges own four, own four for the Giants, okay,

1376
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 2: Which means I would think that Russell Wilson or Jamis

1377
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Winston they're gonna start a quarterback because the schedule is

1378
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 2: so tough and they're gonna gotta ease in Jackson Dart

1379
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: their rookie at quarterback, when they're about you know, one

1380
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: in five or three and seven. Then Jackson gets to start.

1381
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 2: What do you think.

1382
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 4: That's kind of soon? To get them to start right

1383
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 4: like we're gonna start them right away?

1384
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you know.

1385
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 4: And see, this is what was so compelling about the

1386
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 4: Giants and their pick and what they were gonna do.

1387
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 4: Is normally if you take a quarterback like that, like

1388
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 4: people say, like, oh, are you taking them to say

1389
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 4: the franchise and those things like, I mean kind of

1390
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 4: but not really like these guys are I won't to

1391
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 4: say not in lamed up status, but they potentially could

1392
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 4: be out of there after this season. So how do

1393
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 4: you develop a young quarterback when you have that kind

1394
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 4: of pressure on the coaches to make it happen right away?

1395
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 4: To me, I think that's a very very difficult deal

1396
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 4: when it comes to it. Like what you're talking about,

1397
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 4: what you're asking and expecting them to be able to

1398
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 4: pull off.

1399
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, And you know what, I

1400
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 2: want to be a little positive. I've come across a

1401
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: little negative right now with the Giants, and obviously we're

1402
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 2: a little positive with that you don't like them, but

1403
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 2: you don't like it, I do. I love the Giants.

1404
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 2: It kills me. I grew up with the Giants. That

1405
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: was my team. Are you kidding with the with the

1406
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: running back of Tucker Frederickson and Ernie Koy, you know,

1407
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 2: the baby Bulls. I remember the baby I was a kid,

1408
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: the baby Bulls, Ernie Koy and Tucker fredericson in the backfield.

1409
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? I love them. They'll Shoffling number

1410
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 2: eighty five, Aaron Thomas, eighty eight, the tight end. Those

1411
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 2: are the guys I grew up with. I love the

1412
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 2: New York Football Giants. Really, what's not happening anymore? It

1413
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 2: really isn't. But I will I'll be a little positive

1414
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 2: right now. Of there's six teams with the hardest strength

1415
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: of schedule entering the season last year, get this, five

1416
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 2: made the playoffs. That's not bad, really, I mean, it

1417
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 2: shows how good they were. Although the Bills were the

1418
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 2: only team to advance to the conference championship. Now, the

1419
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 2: other three conference finalists were the Eagles, Chiefs, and Commanders.

1420
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 2: They had schedules ranked in the middle of the pack.

1421
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 2: But it's not bad, not bad, pretty positive.

1422
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean no, it's not bad.

1423
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean like you kind of want some of that,

1424
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 4: you like to do it, and you try not to overreact.

1425
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 4: Like the main thing that you're looking for when you

1426
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,959
Speaker 4: open up the schedule, when is the baid week winn

1427
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 4: at the primetime games? Are there any unusual situations where

1428
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 4: three straight games on the road?

1429
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 3: Do you have your West Coast trips?

1430
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 4: All of that that you have to deal with logistically,

1431
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 4: You're trying to figure out those things, and then you

1432
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 4: honestly you want to see who am I closing with

1433
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 4: the last four games to the season. The league is

1434
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 4: a thing where we talked about let's just get to

1435
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 4: the end of November just kind of being in the conversation,

1436
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 4: let's get into December playing our best ball so we

1437
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 4: can roll through the tournament. Based on how they fence

1438
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 4: last year, doesn't sound like, you know, they're ready to

1439
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 4: take that next.

1440
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 2: Step, all right, And look, we were looking at the

1441
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 2: schedule in a different fashion than others. Look at it.

1442
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Los Angeles Chargers charges travel thirty

1443
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: seven thousand plus miles next year, leading the league in

1444
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 2: distance travel for the second year in a row. Is

1445
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 2: that good? Bed is it heard there. It's no big whoop.

1446
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 2: Last year they only charged twenty six thousand.

1447
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 3: It's fine, they're good, they can figure me anything doesn't

1448
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 3: mean it doesn't mean anything. They'll be fun, all right.

1449
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs they're going to be opening up in

1450
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 2: Brazil against the charges. I mean, I don't know. I mean,

1451
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 2: I just the fact that I just don't like the country.

1452
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 2: I never pick to Brazil. I don't know. I don't

1453
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to Brazil, but I just think that sleeping

1454
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: in a different hotel, in a different bed, different food,

1455
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 2: I think that's a factor, don't you a different country.

1456
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 2: How tough is it for these guys to get acclimated.

1457
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got to get their early different time.

1458
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I don't the leagues.

1459
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 4: You know, what the league's trying to do is trying

1460
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 4: to try to expand and make sure that everyone understands

1461
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 4: the brand. You know, the brand is big, you know,

1462
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 4: and I mean it's it's a huge brand, and they're

1463
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 4: trying to the globalization of the game has been good

1464
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 4: and it's gonna pay huge benefits because you're just talking

1465
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,479
Speaker 4: about just being able to I mean literally just being

1466
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 4: able to expand, it expose the game to a different

1467
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 4: fan base and in those things, to me, I think

1468
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 4: it's terrific.

1469
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 2: You know, and I understand they're trying to do I

1470
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 2: mean global, you know, they're playing in Germany, play in Mexico,

1471
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 2: playing in Brazil, playing in London. I get it, but

1472
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 2: I don't think there's as many kids playing football globally

1473
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: as they play basketball. And basketball can't seem to get

1474
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 2: it done as good as football. That I don't understand.

1475
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 2: They're going to Wembley Stadium for a game every year

1476
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: in England, they're packed the joint, even if they put

1477
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 2: the two worst teams in there. They're packed the joint

1478
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 2: because it's just football. But is it the betting? What

1479
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 2: is it? And you know as well as I do,

1480
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 2: there's more basketball being played worldwide than football. But basketball

1481
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: can't get it done.

1482
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 3: Basketball can't get it done because everybody can play it.

1483
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 4: Remember it's a novelty when the NFL goes to those countries.

1484
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 4: There's nothing that their countries can do to replicate our

1485
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 4: version of the NFL. Basketball is basketball wherever you play it,

1486
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 4: so whether you're playing in Greece, Brazil, China, Tokyo, wherever

1487
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 4: basketball is the same, football is not the same. When

1488
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 4: you play football overseas, there's a stark contrast between the

1489
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 4: way it looks over there and the way it looks here.

1490
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 4: In the NFL. Because of that, and because of the

1491
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 4: fascination with it, man, it's easy for the NFL to

1492
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 4: go intoe any foreign country and say, hey, we're going

1493
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 4: to put a game. Put on a game here, and

1494
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 4: it'll sell out quickly.

1495
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 2: I knew you'd have the answer. How did I know that?

1496
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 2: I knew? Who do you have the answer to that?

1497
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure that out, okay. And also, speaking

1498
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 2: of answers at NFL dot com, you with that I

1499
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 2: didn't forget you wrote about this week and you said

1500
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 2: that the biggest wildcard of twenty twenty five. I can't

1501
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 2: believe you said JJ McCarthy. Tell me, explain, Explain your

1502
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 2: logic why JJ McCarthy will be the NFL's biggest wildcard

1503
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five.

1504
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 4: But in Minnesota, Vikings quarterback steps into a lineup that

1505
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 4: look the team finished fourteen and three last year. On

1506
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 4: the Sam Donald the team is notably better than it

1507
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 4: was last season. Aaron Jones is more comfortable. Jordan Addison

1508
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 4: is a year older. Justin Jefferson's always gonna be all

1509
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 4: pro wide out. TG Hockinson should be healthy and ready

1510
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 4: to go Pro Bowl caliber, tied end. New offensive line

1511
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 4: Beefyer Donovan Jackson comes over. Look, they're just good on

1512
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 4: offense defensively. Look, this is a team that is upgraded.

1513
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 4: They added Jonathan Allen to the mix. Urevon Hargrave joins

1514
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 4: the team. Brian Flores gets more comfortable with better person there.

1515
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 4: We saw what he was able to do with Andrew

1516
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 4: van Ginkel, Jonathan Gernard, those guys coming over.

1517
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 3: So this is a more talented team.

1518
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 4: And JJ McCarthy, what you have as a guy who

1519
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 4: is a winner, And I think people have to understand

1520
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,479
Speaker 4: what I mean by winner in college twenty seven to

1521
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 4: one at Michigan, won a national title, has all the

1522
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 4: intangible qualities that you look for. So even though his

1523
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 4: inexperience no pro starts, twenty eight starts, is not.

1524
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 3: A ton in college.

1525
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 4: But even though his inexperience would appear to be a

1526
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 4: hindrance to his success, I believe it's actually his poise,

1527
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 4: his demeanor, and his athleticism that is going to allow

1528
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 4: him to be really, really successful in Minnesota early on.

1529
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Okay, by you writing that you have put tons of

1530
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 2: pressure on JJ McCarthy.

1531
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 3: Eight, He doesn't care about what I think.

1532
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy is sitting in a up on a goal

1533
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 4: post somewhere, sitting with his legs criss cross apple sauce, meditating,

1534
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 4: focused on what he can control.

1535
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't worry about the outside noise.

1536
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 2: Okay, but fans read that and they're gonna put additional

1537
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 2: pressure on him simply because, as you mentioned, this team

1538
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 2: was a good team last a real good team last year.

1539
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 2: Players are good and even better now and now all

1540
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden they got a new quarterback leading them.

1541
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: He better lead them. I mean, he knows, he knows

1542
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: the pressures on him, right, He's got to lead them

1543
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 2: because they don't win as many games or more than

1544
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: last year. It's on him. It's on him unless someone

1545
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: goes down at a big time injury.

1546
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, people are gonna associate that with him,

1547
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 4: but let's be honest. He's the first round pick. They

1548
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 4: were gonna put that on him anyway. I mean, so

1549
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 4: he should. He should welcome the expectations. He should welcome

1550
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 4: the opportunity to prove to people that he is the one,

1551
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 4: he is the guy that can get it done.

1552
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a good thing, not a bad thing.

1553
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 2: All Right. You know what, you really put the pressure

1554
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 2: on it because you had like these five sneaky good games.

1555
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Sneaky good? I mean a lot

1556
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,839
Speaker 2: of people don't think they're good, but you said sneaky

1557
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 2: good games.

1558
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 4: So what I wanted to do is not all the

1559
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 4: games that everyone's gonna talk about, right, the games like

1560
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 4: the kan City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys, the Marquee teams,

1561
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 4: the primetime games and all that, But let's dig deeper

1562
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 4: and see some underrated storylines that may not be getting

1563
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 4: a lot of attention, but they're gonna have huge implications

1564
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 4: for the season, potentially the postseason as well.

1565
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and you picked up Monday, September the eighth, you

1566
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 2: had JJ McCarthey at the Minnesota Vikings playing the Chicago Bears,

1567
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: and obviously that's his debut. We want to see what

1568
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,919
Speaker 2: happens JJ McCarthy, what he does, and obviously with Chicago Bears,

1569
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 2: they got the yeah Kayla offensive thing going on, right.

1570
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to see I want to see how

1571
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 4: Kayla Williams does now that he knows how to watch

1572
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 4: film evidently because evidently the Bears didn't teach him how

1573
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 4: to watch film, and everyone is like, oh my god,

1574
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 4: the Bears didn't prepare him to play. And I'm like, hey, dude,

1575
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 4: you're the number one overall pick. You're a quarterback. You

1576
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 4: should know how to watch tape. And if you don't

1577
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 4: know how to watch raise your hand and ass like

1578
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 4: it's ridiculous. The fact that he's talking about no one

1579
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 4: showed him how to watch tape. To me, it's not

1580
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 4: only an indictment in Chicago, Well what do.

1581
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 3: You do with usc, dude? Like you went the HEDD Trophy?

1582
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 3: Like what, you just grabbed a ball and just went

1583
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 3: out there and played.

1584
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 4: To me, I'm telling you, man, like he drives me

1585
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 4: a little crazy as a franchise quarterback. And it was

1586
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 4: one of the things that I worried about when he

1587
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 4: was coming in, the immaturity or the I can't even

1588
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 4: call it like a professionalism. I would just say, like

1589
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 4: maybe the competitive immaturity sometimes it shows up and his

1590
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 4: body language, the stuff that he says and all that. Yeah,

1591
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 4: so this is a huge game for him because everyone

1592
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:43,520
Speaker 4: expects the Bears.

1593
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 3: To make a major jump.

1594
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 4: All of the Caleb Williams fans that believed that he

1595
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 4: was a transcendent talent on part with Patrick Mahomes.

1596
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 3: They want to see the jump.

1597
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 4: So this is major because we'll get a chance to

1598
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 4: see how much he's improved from year one of year two.

1599
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 2: I got one more sneaky good a Bucket Brooks sneaky

1600
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 2: good game. And that has to do with coaches more

1601
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: so than the players. Monday, September the fifteenth, you got

1602
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 2: the Charges Raiders because it's a coaches battle, right.

1603
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Pete Carroll Jim Harbaugh don't like each other.

1604
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 3: They play nice now, but I remember no, no, no, no,

1605
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 3: no no.

1606
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 4: I remember Pete Carroll wagging his finger in Jim Harbaugh's

1607
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 4: face when Jim Harbaugh put it on him as a

1608
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 4: significant underdog at Stanford, they beat the breaks off of

1609
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 4: sc and in fact, I think that might have been

1610
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 4: the game where they ran power like an old school

1611
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 4: running play eighteen times in a row because they were

1612
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 4: just beating them up.

1613
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this to restart. To see those

1614
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 3: guys go.

1615
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 4: We saw what it was like is very contentious when

1616
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 4: Seattle and San Francisco would battle when they were both

1617
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 4: manning the Niners and Seahawks, respectively.

1618
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 3: To now take it to the Charges and Raiders. Oh

1619
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 3: this is good. This is salcy. I like this one.

1620
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 2: There we go, sneaky good with Bucky Brooks. There we go.

Speaker 7: All right, it's time to go.

1640
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 5: Here's let's go here, guys, the WNBA commissioners say Cayten

1641
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 5: Clark is the most popular athlete in America?

1642
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: Yay or nay? Andy Furman, you know.

1643
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: That's a difficult question. Shit, maybe the most uh pop?

1644
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 2: Maybe the most unpopular.

1645
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1646
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Nay. I don't think she's the most popular.

1647
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 2: I just cannot believe that she's the most. Obviously, the

1648
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: wib A commission's going to say that, I don't think

1649
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 2: she's the most popular athlete in Americans Nay.

1650
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I think she might be the

1651
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 3: most popular athlete in America. I'm being honest with you, like.

1652
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 4: Just the Midwestern love, how she built up de fan

1653
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 4: them from I and how they continue to follow her.

1654
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 4: I man, it's hard to find someone who has a

1655
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:29,719
Speaker 4: following like that. You look at the NBA.

1656
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 3: Who's the player? Yeah, I think Caitlyn Clark might be

1657
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 3: that ship.

1658
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah the wait, wait, just let's stick with this for

1659
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 2: a second. Let's think about different sports right now. Who's

1660
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 2: popular in football? I can't even think of who might

1661
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,879
Speaker 2: be the most popular guy in football?

1662
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 4: Really, Mahomes, I mean Mahomes, I don't know, you think maybe, Yeah,

1663
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:48,879
Speaker 4: maybe Mahomes.

1664
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Brock Purty the last guy, the

1665
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 2: last guy drafted, and he's kind of done well.

1666
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 4: He's not popular like like Caitlyn.

1667
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, called NBA. Who's who's the NBA popular?

1668
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, lebron and.

1669
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 3: And man, but not not universally celebrated base Moon.

1670
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 2: You got any funny show?

1671
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 3: Hey show name show?

1672
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 2: Hey?

1673
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 3: Otani can't speak English?

1674
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 2: How could it be popular? I mean really, I.

1675
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,639
Speaker 3: Mean, I like he's popular even though he can't.

1676
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm a little jaded because I'm here in La,

1677
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 4: but I mean, he has a lot of popularity.

1678
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 2: Other than that, Maybe you're right, maybe it is Kaitlin Clark.

1679
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 2: I can't believe it, though I have to believe.

1680
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 5: I'm kind of with Caitlin Clark being the most facular.

1681
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,519
Speaker 2: I'm with it. Of course you won't. You know what,

1682
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 2: of course you have no hackydomphings. Take a stand, take

1683
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 2: a stand, data stand. I'd say, yay, all right, guys.

1684
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 5: So the NFL is considering, at least for twenty twenty six,

1685
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 5: a new playoff format where teams would be seated in

1686
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 5: playoffs based on their winning percentages.

1687
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, your nay, Bucky Brooks.

1688
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 4: Explain to me based on their winning percentages, like instead

1689
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 4: of just doing the divisional rounds, the divisional title means nothing. Yeah,

1690
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 4: I think that's stupid. I think that's dumb. There has

1691
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,560
Speaker 4: to be something for the division winner. And if you

1692
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,799
Speaker 4: don't win your division, so be it be a wildcard

1693
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 4: team improved the best that you're great. It happened last

1694
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 4: year when in Minnesota Vikings they're fourteen and three, too bad,

1695
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 4: too sad win the division. So I think there has

1696
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 4: to be a way that you reward division winners.

1697
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say nay, because

1698
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: I would still say what is the division has to matter.

1699
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 2: It still matters because it will guarantee a team of

1700
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: spot in the playoffs, but it just doesn't guarantee a

1701
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 2: team a home playoff game.

1702
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 6: Maybe.

1703
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, like what are we doing?

1704
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Like have some hanky down, some hanky down?

1705
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1706
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 6: And oh boy?

1707
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead.

1708
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: All right, next, all right?

1709
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 5: Speaking of playoffs, guys, it seems the NBA playoffs have

1710
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 5: been going on from can we decide the eight best

1711
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 5: teams then and kind of go to and have a

1712
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 5: go too many teams dilute the playoffs in all sports.

1713
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Yay or nay, Andy, Yay? Too many.

1714
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 2: This NBA playoff thing has been going on this last summer.

1715
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. That never ends. I mean, you take a breath.

1716
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the Knicks win. They're playing Indiana.

1717
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 2: Now another step? That's enough for ready? Really? You playing

1718
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 2: eighty two games? Doesn't that prove something? I remember back

1719
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 2: in the day, sixteen teams Major League Baseball eight and eight.

1720
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 2: They got a winner, one in the American winner and

1721
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 2: the other the national play for the World Series, and.

1722
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 3: Away we go.

1723
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's all about the money. It's all about

1724
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 2: the money.

1725
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 4: Now it is all about the money. But no, I

1726
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 4: think the more teams the better. I like having to

1727
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 4: Brenda Gauntlet to be able to get to the champion.

1728
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 4: You got to earn the right to be the titleist.

1729
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 4: And so I'm okay with them bringing more teams. It

1730
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 4: gives everybody a chance.

1731
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 5: All right, final Final one Final Yeah or nay? With

1732
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 5: well North Carolina under Bill Belichick's rule, gain a bull

1733
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 5: status next season, Yeah or nay, Bucky.

1734
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, yes, yes they're making it, Yes, yes they

1735
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 2: will and you know what, you never get a guess

1736
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 2: who took a shot at the goat that that's so

1737
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:19,799
Speaker 2: much more. Next up, all right, here we go, someone

1738
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 2: took a shot at the ghost at the go And

1739
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 2: by the way, what exactly is a distraction? We'll get

1740
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 2: to that in just about a minute. Good morning, everybody.

1741
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio. He's

1742
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks and Mandy Firmanent. We're broadcasting live from the

1743
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios, and away we go. Bucky, there's

1744
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 2: a lot of problems, questions, controversy, all this going on

1745
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 2: on the campus of your school, your proud alma mater,

1746
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 2: the University of North Carolina. Are you shocked, are you upset,

1747
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 2: are you disappointed? Or do you not care at all?

1748
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about it.

1749
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of noise on the outside

1750
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 4: just because it's the off season. What I do know is, look,

1751
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 4: they've completely flipped a roster. You have one of the

1752
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 4: greatest coaches that we've ever seen in the NFL making

1753
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 4: his way down to the collegiate game, and I trust

1754
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 4: that he's going to figure it out. The stuff that

1755
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 4: is being discussed about his girlfriend look, part of it

1756
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 4: is the age disparity between Bill Belichick and that. The

1757
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,679
Speaker 4: other part of it is Bill Belichick is Bill Belichick,

1758
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 4: and we're seeing him in a light that we haven't

1759
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 4: seen him in. He's been more open, more out there.

1760
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 4: See certainly he has made him edgy in terms of

1761
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 4: pushing the envelope in terms of him being out. We've

1762
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 4: seen the pictures of them at Halloween, the Mermaid, the yoga,

1763
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 4: the other stuff. But a lot of stuff that is

1764
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 4: being talked about with her. I think if you really

1765
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 4: explore and talk to a lot of people about their coaches,

1766
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 4: like their significant others play a major role in what

1767
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 4: they do, whether it's helping them organize their affairs, putting

1768
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 4: things together, having ideas to contribute to the program, those

1769
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 4: things are commonplace. I just believe because of his profile

1770
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 4: and because of the age difference between him and her,

1771
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 4: it has really got a lot of attention, and I

1772
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 4: understand why he squatches it in interviews.

1773
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 3: In those things, it doesn't have to discuss it.

1774
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 4: You don't hear other people other coaches discussing their wives

1775
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 4: on a daily basis. When it comes to the interview,

1776
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 4: I just think it's look part of the Bill Belichick thing.

1777
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 4: Everyone is making it a bigger dealer, and it really is.

1778
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 2: I think it's ridiculous, I really do. I think it's

1779
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 2: much ado about nothing. And I hope he shuts them

1780
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 2: all up. I hope. I would love to have seen

1781
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 2: Bill say, you know what, leave me alone or stick it.

1782
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 2: But whatever. I mean, he's gonna win. And if they

1783
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 2: doesn't win, blame me, and I know he will. But

1784
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 2: if he doesn't win, they're gonna blame it on Jordan.

1785
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 3: They will.

1786
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 2: They'll say, well, he spent too much time, right, that's

1787
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 2: the way life is. I mean, get off his back.

1788
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 2: What's is stupid? But I'm gonna say this. We hear

1789
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 2: the term distraction all the time. A player is a distraction. Okay.

1790
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 2: Last year in Cincinnati, the losing, the media type said

1791
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 2: the losing was the result Jamar Chase's lack of a

1792
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 2: new deal. He's stood on the sidelines not in his

1793
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 2: uniform during practice because he didn't want to get fined.

1794
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 2: But he went to practice in civi's and that was

1795
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 2: a distraction. All I know is this. They're gonna blame

1796
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 2: it this year if they lose on Trey Hendrickson. I

1797
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 2: say bull bull, it's ridigulous. Players I think don't care

1798
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: they play. And distraction as it were used for those

1799
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 2: that never played the game, I think, I think maybe

1800
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I say this because Cam Newton called Bill

1801
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 2: Belichick and his galfriend Jordan Hudson are distraction to the

1802
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina football program. What do you think about this

1803
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 2: term distraction? I think it's much ado about nothing, as

1804
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 2: the term media people to use. I don't hear many

1805
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 2: athletes use the term. The media people use it, or

1806
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 2: the team lots a distraction, they don't care, they don't care.

1807
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think it depends on the maturity

1808
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 4: of the team because everyone can't handle things being chaotic

1809
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 4: away from the field and still concentrate on being able

1810
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 4: to get it done on the field. That is a

1811
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 4: real thing, and in a perfect world, you would like

1812
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 4: to be able to go about your business without having

1813
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 4: to deal with distractions because now you can one hundred

1814
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 4: percent lock in and focus on the task at hand.

1815
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 4: I would say that the distraction part of it doesn't

1816
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 4: necessarily relate to the players because I haven't heard North

1817
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 4: Carolina players being asked about the situation where their coach

1818
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,560
Speaker 4: and his girlfriend. The only person who could be distracted

1819
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 4: would be Bill Belichick himself, and he has far more

1820
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 4: experience than enough skin in the game to kind of

1821
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 4: know how to deal with all the stuff. Because remember

1822
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 4: while with the Patriots they had to deal with spygate,

1823
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 4: the flake gate, They've had to deal with the cutting

1824
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 4: of several prominent players in the middle of the season

1825
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 4: but continue to win and those things. If anyone can

1826
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 4: deal with all the outside noise, it'd be Bill Belichick.

1827
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 4: But Cam Newton is right, like, it could potentially be

1828
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 4: a distraction if it impacts the players that are actually

1829
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 4: going to be on the field right now, they're not

1830
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 4: playing games. There's nothing that they're doing where it could

1831
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 4: be a major thing to distract from their focus.

1832
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 3: But something that you certainly have to monitor.

1833
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 2: Okay, you played the game, have you seen anything like that?

1834
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 2: And all the teams you played for that you could

1835
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 2: use distraction or some sort of an incident that created

1836
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: losing on the team.

1837
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody goes through something. When I was in.

1838
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 4: Green Bay, I want to say it was either right

1839
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 4: after the first Super Bowl or the second Super Bowl.

1840
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:33,799
Speaker 3: You remember when.

1841
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 4: Brett Favre and they had like the painkiller thing and

1842
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 4: maybe you went to rehab and those things. But that

1843
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 4: was an off season thing that kind of came up,

1844
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 4: but it was very hush hushed, quiet about what it was,

1845
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 4: what he was doing, how he's away or whatever like

1846
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 4: that potentially could cause a bit of a distraction, but

1847
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 4: the team was so.

1848
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 3: Mature and older that it didn't really matter. But like,

1849
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing that I can think of.

1850
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 4: There was a bit controversial in the midst of the season,

1851
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 4: Like we have some things in Kansas City with the team,

1852
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 4: Derek Thomas and Marty and those things, like little things

1853
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 4: that might have been maybe local distractions, but nothing that

1854
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 4: was major that really impacted us on the field because ultimately, man,

1855
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 4: when you get to the field, you got to lock

1856
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 4: in and play. And there are a lot of people,

1857
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 4: a lot of players who've always been able to kind

1858
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 4: of juggle and handle multiple things going on. They've been

1859
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 4: able to find kind of piece amid the chaos. It

1860
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 4: just depends on the emotional maturity of the player and

1861
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 4: the really the collective of the team.

1862
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 3: If they're mature, they can handle anything that comes their way.

1863
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you talked about the potential of distractions when you

1864
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 2: were a player. I was the pr guy of the

1865
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 2: Ford Lord of Dale Strikers in the North American Soccer League,

1866
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 2: and we had one of the greatest players in the world.

1867
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 2: May he rest in peace, George Best. George Best liked

1868
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 2: to drink and he'd go on binges and for days

1869
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 2: no knew where he was. I don't think he recalled.

1870
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 2: I don't think he ever missed the game, but there

1871
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 2: were times I used to go I'll never forget this.

1872
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: Craig Barnes covered our team from the Fort lorda Dale News.

1873
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 2: I'd go out with Craig driving around the neighborhood to

1874
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 2: find out where George was. Couldn't find them. He just

1875
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,799
Speaker 2: was never around. He was hungover, he was on a binge,

1876
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: all right. I never saw that as a distraction for

1877
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 2: the team. We did well, we made the playoffs, but

1878
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 2: I never saw George's lack of being there because I

1879
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 2: think the players either just continue with their business where

1880
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 2: they said, well, that's George being George. He'll be here,

1881
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 2: he'll show up, and he did. He showed up for

1882
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 2: the game, doubt, no doubt about it.

1883
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 6: He did.

1884
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 2: So I think it's overused. It's a term that media

1885
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 2: people use who never ever experienced being around the team,

1886
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 2: playing the game, or working with a team, with traveling

1887
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: with a team. They don't know. It's an easy term

1888
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 2: to throw out there. Oh, well, Jamar Chase wants a contract.

1889
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 2: Team loss. Oh it's hurting the team.

1890
01:27:58,720 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 6: No it's not.

1891
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

1892
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 2: They'd love to see Jamar play, but they have their

1893
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 2: own business to worry about, right, That's what it is.

1894
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 2: So I asked you the question, exactly what is a

1895
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 2: distraction in sports? What may cause one an arrest? Maybe

1896
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what's a distraction.

1897
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 4: I would say anything that really seriously disrupts the schedule,

1898
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 4: anything that requires the team to spend more time on

1899
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,919
Speaker 4: the issue rather than game planning and preparing.

1900
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 3: Anything that that that that.

1901
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 4: Just kind of I would say, just disrupts the rhythm

1902
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 4: and the flow of the culture of the environment.

1903
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 3: That would be a distraction.

1904
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 4: Now, there have been several teams that have been able

1905
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 4: to handle any disruption without it being an issue. The

1906
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:46,480
Speaker 4: best coaches prepare their teams to deal with the disruptions

1907
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 4: that may have that may come along the way. You

1908
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 4: talk to your team like, hey man, it's not always

1909
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 4: going to be peaches and cream. We're gonna have to

1910
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 4: be able to deal with some tough stuff. And then

1911
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 4: when the tough stuff happens, they don't put an an

1912
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 4: order amount of tension on it. They address it and

1913
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 4: then they move on, and it has to be that

1914
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 4: they don't dwell on it. They say like, hey, this

1915
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:08,839
Speaker 4: is what it is. We have to deal with this situation,

1916
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 4: but that will not stop us from winning. They don't

1917
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 4: give the players an easy way out when it comes

1918
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 4: to that. And I think you have to have a

1919
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 4: great relationship with your players, but you have to be

1920
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 4: tough and stern and very focused to be able to

1921
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 4: get them to play through some of those things that

1922
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 4: could be term distractions.

1923
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 2: All right. Colin Cowherder's on Fox Sports Ready at Noon

1924
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 2: here on many of these Fox Sports readio affiliates. He

1925
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 2: taught to Julian Ellman the other day and Julian Edelmann

1926
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 2: told him what he thought a distraction was. Julian, go

1927
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 2: tell him.

1928
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a thing.

1929
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,639
Speaker 8: The number one thing we used to talk about all

1930
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 8: the time in New England was distractions.

1931
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,440
Speaker 2: Let's not make distractions.

1932
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 8: The game's already as hard as it is to prepare

1933
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 8: for to play, to coach, and you know, regardless of

1934
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 8: what her role is. Jordan, Yeah, I thought he got

1935
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 8: an unfair public opinion on the whole thing, because that

1936
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 8: happens all the time. Sure, time we're doing behind the

1937
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 8: scenes this that you got someone who represents you, they're

1938
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 8: going to jump in.

1939
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: But now that it's gained in snowballed to what it's.

1940
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 8: Become right now where we're talking about it three weeks later,

1941
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:20,679
Speaker 8: it's becoming a distraction.

1942
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm sure, that's what we all think

1943
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 1: right now.

1944
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 2: This is becoming a distraction. We gotta practice what we

1945
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 2: preach here. Interesting Julian Edelman talking to Colin Coward here

1946
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 2: on Fox What's Radio earlier this week. Now getting back

1947
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 2: to Cam Newton, and I don't even know why he's

1948
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 2: getting into the mix yere, but he says, you're talking

1949
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,720
Speaker 2: more about on his TikTok, he said, we're talking more

1950
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 2: about Jordan Hudson. They're talking about who is the starting

1951
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 2: quarterback in North Carolina. You can't name me three players

1952
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 2: in North Carolina's roster right now besides Jordan Huston. Look,

1953
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: you can't name three players on Miami of Florida's roster

1954
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 2: right now. I mean it's ridiculous. You know, it's something

1955
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 2: to talk about during a time of the year when

1956
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 2: news is so much slow. Let's face it, it's somewhat

1957
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 2: slow right now. And look, Jordan's twenty four and Bill

1958
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 2: is what seventy three? What if Bill had a seventy

1959
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 2: year old woman, would that be a distraction? I don't

1960
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,479
Speaker 2: think so. Why the hell is Jordan a distraction? I

1961
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 2: don't get it. I mean, are people jealous? I mean,

1962
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 2: guy's got a life. Let him live his life, all right.

1963
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 2: She's helping the program. I read stories right now that

1964
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,960
Speaker 2: North Carolina has to hire a PR firm for her.

1965
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, she's handling the social media. He wants her

1966
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 2: to be involved. I think she can help recruit players

1967
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:38,599
Speaker 2: because he's not maybe adapt at social media as much

1968
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 2: as she is. She could relate to the kids at

1969
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:44,639
Speaker 2: that age. Maybe I'm crazy, I mean nuts about that, really.

1970
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think there are a lot of

1971
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 3: things at play with it. Right.

1972
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:53,560
Speaker 4: I'm telling you the age thing is whatever, because some

1973
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 4: people will find it creepy, right, seventy three, twenty four,

1974
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 4: whatever it is whenever they met or whatever.

1975
01:31:58,840 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 3: We've seen it.

1976
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:03,560
Speaker 4: But we've seen We've seen very successful men at that

1977
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 4: age have young women that are their girlfriends or wives

1978
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 4: or whatever.

1979
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:09,680
Speaker 3: But it's just different because.

1980
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 1: Share so much.

1981
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 2: Your boyfriend right doesn't share have one?

1982
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but I want to make it what about.

1983
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 4: I would say that we have seen more men kind

1984
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 4: of engage and that kind of relationship than women, but

1985
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 4: it happens. I think the big part of it is

1986
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 4: Bill Belichick has been so closed off, so show private

1987
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 4: about so much of who he is and what he's about,

1988
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 4: think about the small short answers that he gives, and

1989
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 4: so when people have seen this side of him, he

1990
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 4: is different in terms of what he shared.

1991
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 3: But part of that difference is he wasn't coaching last year,

1992
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 3: so we've seen more of him.

1993
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 4: More of this is out there. They're prominently out there.

1994
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 4: She has some sassiness to her. We saw the poses

1995
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 4: with the rings, and so she's kind of brought him

1996
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 4: out of his shell a little bit.

1997
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 3: So it's different. And I mean, let's be honest.

1998
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 4: I mean, we live in a hot take society where

1999
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 4: everyone can weigh in on opinions, and sometimes your partner

2000
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 4: is subject to be weighed in on and right now

2001
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 4: he has given the football world and the outside gossip

2002
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 4: world a lot of fodder to chew on just because

2003
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 4: of the age and the fact that she ran for

2004
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,640
Speaker 4: Miss Maine. There's just a lot of stuff around it,

2005
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 4: and because people perceive her to be I would determin

2006
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 4: it strong in terms of injecting herself into certain things.

2007
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 3: Some people don't like that.

2008
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 4: Some people prefer to have it, prefer to see the

2009
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 4: woman in a very quiet, subservient role.

2010
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:34,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2011
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 4: I think look, I don't think this is any different

2012
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 4: really than some of the stuff that we've heard from

2013
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 4: other coaches. Miss Terry was very involved with the Alabama

2014
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 4: program with Nick Saban and not saying that they're the same,

2015
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 4: but like there have been people who've had their significant

2016
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 4: other player a major role in what they do.

2017
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,599
Speaker 2: Interesting. Now, Cam Newton comes back and says on according, now,

2018
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 2: now you have that same situation with this sixteen year

2019
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 2: old that you're trying to recruit and you got to

2020
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 2: talk to his mama, and he says, it's not a

2021
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 2: good look. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

2022
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what the good look is. Belichick's

2023
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 2: gona open up his wallet. That's the good look. If

2024
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 2: a kid get money is gonna.

2025
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 4: Go I mean, but there is something to that because

2026
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 4: here's what you also got to remember. Down in the South,

2027
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,360
Speaker 4: North Carolina is in the heart of the Bible Belt, right,

2028
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 4: and so people will talk about values and family values.

2029
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 4: There will be some that will be turned off by

2030
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 4: that because you're talking about a fifty year age gap

2031
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 4: between man and woman. There would be some people that

2032
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 4: it's a little cringe cringey in terms of, like, I

2033
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 4: don't know, it's a little creepy. So that might turn

2034
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 4: some people off. It's not gonna turn to everybody off,

2035
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 4: but it may turn some people off. So to be

2036
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 4: a handful of families that might be turned off by

2037
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 4: that relationship because that coach is still.

2038
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 3: Gonna be viewed as a mentor to the kid.

2039
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 4: And so as they evaluate Bill Belichick's quote unquote character,

2040
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 4: some may not see him as being like the right

2041
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 4: fit for their kid. But look, it's going to be

2042
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 4: a part of the conversation for some, but for others,

2043
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 4: they'll worry about more, how can he help my son

2044
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 4: get to the next level as a player as a person.

2045
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 2: Okay, question, now you played for North Carolina. Let's put

2046
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 2: you and your family in this situation, Bill Belichick's to

2047
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 2: coach situation, you still got Jordan coming to your house?

2048
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 2: Would that affect you? Would that affect would your parents

2049
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 2: tell you, son, I don't think you had to go

2050
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 2: there with him as coach.

2051
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 4: No, because I think verse one of the university would

2052
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 4: have been like he in terms of like the academ reputation,

2053
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 4: those things. But also I'll say this, like the fact

2054
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 4: that he's been an a time Super Bowl winner six

2055
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:40,840
Speaker 4: times as a head coach.

2056
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 3: He knows the NFL game. If you have.

2057
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 4: NFL aspirations, why would you not want to play from

2058
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 4: someone who knows it like that? Look, that was a

2059
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 4: big calling card for Nick Saban in terms of knowing

2060
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 4: how to get you to play at the next level.

2061
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you do the same?

2062
01:35:56,160 --> 01:36:00,120
Speaker 4: To me, I see this as a situation where like

2063
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 4: North Carolina is trying to follow the Alabama blueprint that

2064
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 4: was established by Nick Saban, who had said he learned

2065
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 4: a lot of what he did at Alabama from his

2066
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 4: time at Bill Belichick.

2067
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 3: So to me, I'm excited to see what it looks like.

2068
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 4: All of this is just conversation until we get to

2069
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 4: the real part of it, which is when the ball

2070
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:20,560
Speaker 4: starts at the end of August, let's see what the

2071
01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 4: team looks like.

2072
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's worse. And maybe I'm crazy. When

2073
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 2: Urban mine was coaching Jacksonville and the team played and

2074
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 2: he remained and he went to some bar after and

2075
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 2: he was like, you know, schmoozing around there. I'm not

2076
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 2: going to go in particulars. That to me was worse

2077
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,640
Speaker 2: than what Bill Belichick is doing. Right now, you remember that, right, I.

2078
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,639
Speaker 4: Do remember that, And look the whole thing with Urban

2079
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 4: or whatever, and I'm not going to be a hypocrite

2080
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 4: and say like, oh, what Urban did was wrong and

2081
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 4: what Belichick doing is right, like all of it. The

2082
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 4: only thing that I would say when it came to Urban,

2083
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 4: where Urban's mistake was was one the lack of acknowledgement

2084
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:57,800
Speaker 4: when the team. When he got pressed on it, She's

2085
01:36:57,920 --> 01:36:59,439
Speaker 4: just say like, hey man, look here's what I did.

2086
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 4: But the bigger mistake was in the pros, you got

2087
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 4: to travel with your team. The captain has to go

2088
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 4: down with the ship. So if he is going to

2089
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 4: eventually go back to Cincinnati and hang out with whatever

2090
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 4: he's doing, like he has to fly with the team.

2091
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 4: Then the next morning. He can get on the first flight,

2092
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 4: smoke and to go back. But what you can't do

2093
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 4: is let the plane leave. The team goes on its own.

2094
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 4: You tell them one thing and then you're hanging back.

2095
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 3: You can't do that.

2096
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 4: Look, the team is the team, and everyone understands that

2097
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 4: there are different types of players and personalities and character

2098
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 4: types on the team. But as a team, you got

2099
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 4: to rock with the team and then on your own time,

2100
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 4: you do whatever you do on your own time. That's

2101
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 4: how professional sports operates. He made a mistake when he

2102
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 4: didn't go with the team, and then when he failed

2103
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 4: to acknowledge whatever the transgressions were or whatever however people

2104
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 4: perceive the mistake to be. He didn't fully acknowledge it

2105
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 4: with the squad, and so that's where he lost some

2106
01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 4: credibility from the team. Outside of that, I won't say

2107
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:01,759
Speaker 4: who cares who gears.

2108
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 2: I'm with you right there. He's Bucket Brooks and Mandy Femrian.

2109
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 2: Right now, It's time for the ti Iraq play today.

2110

Speaker 1: Walk off over.

2113
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 9: He got the hanging curves. He launches end of the

2114
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 9: bull term and the Red Sox win it seven to six.

2115
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 2: How do you like that, Patty? Was that Raphael?

2116
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Raphael Devers.

01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 2: up about twelve minutes or so from now. Now. I

2144
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 2: want to get back to these games that you talked

2145
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 2: about that are sneaky good to watch. All right, I'm

2146
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 2: gonna go back to I think it was week seven

2147
01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 2: you had to Rams and you're Jacksonville Jacks. All right,

2148
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 2: tell me about why that's a game that I shouldn't

2149
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 2: miss a week seven.

2150
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's a game that you don't want to miss

2151
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 4: for a few different reasons. Anytime you have kind of

2152
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 4: like the teacher pupil situation, you always want to see

2153
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,320
Speaker 4: how that is going to turn out. Does the pupil

2154
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 4: learn from the teacher and become a better version of

2155
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 4: the teacher. And so with Sean McVay and Liam Kahn,

2156
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 4: that's the dynamic that you have Shammy Vay being the

2157
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 4: head coach, being an office of wizard, Liam Khan served

2158
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,600
Speaker 4: a few different roles up under him, So you have

2159
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 4: that dynamic how is it going to play out on

2160
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 4: the field, but it's also off the field.

2161
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 3: Less Need being the general manager.

2162
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 4: James Gladstone, general manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars, worked hand

2163
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 4: in hand with less Need to build that roster.

2164
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 3: So how do they basically create rams East and what

2165
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 3: does that look like.

2166
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 4: Well, right around the middle of the season, we'll begin

2167
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 4: to see how that's beginning to crystallize. And it's a

2168
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 4: measuring stick game for the Jaguars as they're looking at

2169
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 4: who they want to be compaired to a team that

2170
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 4: will be used as their muse the team that they

2171
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:04,560
Speaker 4: want to emulate.

2172
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 3: In those things.

2173
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 4: And then the final thing is by about week seven,

2174
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter, the experience should be fully vetted out.

2175
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 3: Now we have an opportunity to know what he is

2176
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 3: as a.

2177
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 4: Two way player. He's probably playing more on each side

2178
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 4: of the ball, and what kind of impact. So there

2179
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 4: are a lot of different things in play where you

2180
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to kind of see this as a

2181
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 4: checkpoint for the Jaguars, but also as the Rams, who

2182
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 4: should be one of the best teams in the NFL

2183
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 4: next year.

2184
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 2: All right, I hear what you're saying. You know, you

2185
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 2: got your list. I'm going to go back to your

2186
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 2: list momentarily. But I got some teams that I think

2187
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 2: should have been maybe highlighted more so in prime time

2188
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 2: and see if you agree. One of those teams I

2189
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 2: think is the Washington command Is when you got a

2190
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 2: guy like Jayden Daniels, an up and coming star in

2191
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,000
Speaker 2: the National Football League, I think the Washington Commanders should

2192
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 2: be on Prime Time a lot more than they are.

2193
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 2: I think they're only on once. I think they're only

2194
01:41:56,920 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 2: on I haven't checked, but I gotta believe Washington should

2195
01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 2: have been on there two or three times just because

2196
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 2: of Jade and Daniels. You know, you got to look

2197
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 2: at the future of the league and these are the

2198
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 2: guys that are going to carry the league down the road.

2199
01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 4: Look, you're right, and you do want to see them

2200
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 4: show j Dames because Jade Dames is a stud and

2201
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 4: we talked about star quarterbacks and star driven league. He

2202
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 4: has all the makings to be a potential superstar at

2203
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 4: that level. So you would like to see him have

2204
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 4: more opportunities to kind of showcase this stuff and do that.

2205
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 4: Maybe we will get that. It's a matter of time.

2206
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 4: It's a matter of time. Doesn't matter of time. Like

2207
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 4: everyone loves him and can acknowledge how good he is.

2208
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of letting us see him more.

2209
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 2: All right. You did mention this team early on saying

2210
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 2: that JJ McCarthy is going to be like the sleeper,

2211
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 2: the guy to watch. With the Minnesota Vikings coming this year,

2212
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:55,720
Speaker 2: they need to be on primetime. Will this year you

2213
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 2: want to see that. That's the question that has to

2214
01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 2: be answered. And I think they're going to be following

2215
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy all year long. There are a lot of

2216
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 2: scrutiny almost week to week to see what the Vikings do.

2217
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna be all on his shoulders. I mean quarterbacks says,

2218
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 2: you know, get pressure, tons of pressure. But the point

2219
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 2: is he may beginning even more so a coming off

2220
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 2: an injury, be what they did last year.

2221
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's gonna be a lot of that.

2222
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 3: There's gonna be some of that under pressure. How does

2223
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 3: he how does he get this done? How does he

2224
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 3: handle it?

2225
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 4: Uh? Does he does he show the improvement quickly as

2226
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 4: a first time starter. And remember he is someone who

2227
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 4: hasn't played a lot, but he was.

2228
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 3: Picked in the first round.

2229
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 4: There were a lot of people that are like, whoa,

2230
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 4: they're gonna take him early. That's kind of early to

2231
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 4: take him that kind of stuff.

2232
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:46,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it goes. But I'm excited to

2233
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 3: come to see it all play out. All right.

2234
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:53,759
Speaker 2: Uh, you mentioned Week two. I think they're playing the Texans.

2235
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Chicago Bears. Maybe talk about the Bears.

2236
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they got a tremendous brand, and I hate

2237
01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:01,920
Speaker 2: to use that term, but it's true. People notice the Bears.

2238
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 2: You know, they got a good brand, but they got

2239
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 2: bad football. And I do believe they need to be

2240
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 2: on TV more because there's gonna be a soap opera

2241
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 2: this year. There's gonna be the arrival of number one pick,

2242
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 2: which I have from twenty twenty four. Caleb Williams, what

2243
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,720
Speaker 2: he did, what he said with that book situation. I

2244
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 2: think that he's gonna be in Sunday Night Football Week

2245
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 2: two against the Texas. But they need to be on

2246
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,519
Speaker 2: more because what he did, what he said, what is

2247
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 2: that going to do to the makeup of the team

2248
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:29,880
Speaker 2: this year. I'd like to see the Chicago Bears more

2249
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 2: so on primetime.

2250
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 4: M I mean, I think there's a lot of attention

2251
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 4: around the Bears, and I think they everyone is excited

2252
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:47,200
Speaker 4: not only about Kayleb Williams and the growth that he

2253
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:49,760
Speaker 4: can make under Ben Johnson, but how quickly is this

2254
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 4: team gonna be up to formed.

2255
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 3: They are people that believe the Bears are gonna be right.

2256
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:56,680
Speaker 4: There challenging the Detroit Lions and those things. Look, it's

2257
01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 4: gonna be fun to watch it all play out because

2258
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 4: everyone will acknowledge that the NFL is better when the

2259
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 4: Bears are good. Well, this is a chance we need

2260
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 4: to be really, really good on a coach that is

2261
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 4: really talented.

2262
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Now you're going to say, what am I

2263
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 2: talking about? But I do believe that even though this

2264
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 2: team is going to be on Week three on Thursday

2265
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 2: Night Football against the New York Jets, I think the

2266
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 2: New England Patriots need to be on primetime a little

2267
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 2: bit more. Want to see what's going on. I want

2268
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 2: to see the growth of this team right now new

2269
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 2: coach Mike vrabel. I think that the Patriots right now

2270
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 2: need to be kind of highlighted a little more. I

2271
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:34,680
Speaker 2: think that primetime football should not only be for the

2272
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:38,559
Speaker 2: big names that Dallas Cowboys, the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo,

2273
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 2: things like that. They need to have teams that are

2274
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:43,800
Speaker 2: up and comers to people could get a view. We

2275
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,639
Speaker 2: see what's happening, what are they doing. Maybe I'm wrong.

2276
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 2: I understand that people who worked on the TV business

2277
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 2: they want eyeballs attached to the game. But I think

2278
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 2: that anytime you put a primetime game on, and there

2279
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 2: have been some terrible games over the years on Thursday

2280
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 2: Night with Amazon, people still watch. They really do well.

2281
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:04,680
Speaker 2: Amazon's a different animal because you had to pay for it.

2282
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 2: But other than that, if they're free and it's prime time,

2283
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 2: people are gonna watch.

2284
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:10,639
Speaker 3: It one hundred percent.

2285
01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 4: Like people are going to watch it like if you

2286
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 4: put it on for free, like they I mean, they're

2287
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 4: gonna find a way to get it done. I just

2288
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 4: think it's a matter of, like the exposure. How can

2289
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:24,080
Speaker 4: you generate the exposure, How can you put it all

2290
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 4: out there so everyone can get what they want from it.

2291
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:28,760
Speaker 3: Look, the game is great.

2292
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 4: Having opportunities to see the game is even better on

2293
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:36,560
Speaker 4: multiple platforms. So I'm excited for all of it, and

2294
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of people they're excited

2295
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:38,839
Speaker 4: to see it expand.

2296
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:44,240
Speaker 2: All right, last year, the Carolina Panthers were the only

2297
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 2: team that didn't make the cut for a primetime game.

2298
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 2: All right, I guess the only time they were on

2299
01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 2: it maybe was it last year? Was they play the Giants?

2300
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 2: Was that in Berlin? They may have been. I don't

2301
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,080
Speaker 2: think they were on. No, they didn't make it. I

2302
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 2: do believe though, with Bryce Young, I think people again

2303
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 2: want to see the growth of Bryce Young. I think

2304
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 2: Carolina needs to be on primetime. I really believe that.

2305
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 2: I think they got screwed. I just don't want to

2306
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 2: see the same teams week in and week out. And

2307
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,160
Speaker 2: you know, the Jets are on. They're on prime time

2308
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 2: so because I think it's the New York market, not

2309
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 2: so much because they're good, because they're not good. But

2310
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 2: I think the Jets are on there. I get it

2311
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,760
Speaker 2: when they were on last year or two years ago. Now,

2312
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,600
Speaker 2: really when Brett Farb was the quarterback and then it

2313
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 2: got hurt. I think that was a storyline. But other

2314
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:31,439
Speaker 2: than that, the only reason the Jets are on because

2315
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,560
Speaker 2: of the ratings and the new York market. That's it.

2316
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 4: I mean there is a lot to that, right, There's

2317
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 4: a lot to the marketplace, and what commands a lot

2318
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 4: of attention. Those cities certainly are the biggest markets, and

2319
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 4: so they're going to draw big numbers when their teams

2320
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 4: are playing. And if you're banking on the Jets or

2321
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 4: whatever being good, that's why you want to put them

2322
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 4: on there. Let the world see. Let the big Apple

2323
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:00,280
Speaker 4: right kind of have its moment. And right now we're

2324
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 4: seeing with the Knicks. The Knicks are exciting and mgg's

2325
01:48:04,439 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 4: going crazy and all this stuff. And so we know

2326
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 4: when New York is good, they come out. And even

2327
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 4: the obnoxious nature of some New Yorkers, like, we appreciate it.

2328
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 3: It plays out.

2329
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 2: We back off a little bit, back off a little bit.

2330
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 5: Now.

2331
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:21,080
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like New York, I mean, y'all kind

2332
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 4: of think everything is invented in creating revolves around New York.

2333
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 3: Like that's that's all well.

2334
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, speaking of the obnoxious I watched the

2335
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 2: news last night, some of the news reports, and after

2336
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 2: the celebration was going on in the streets, they showed

2337
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,680
Speaker 2: some video of people on top of lamp posts would you,

2338
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 2: in your right mind, sober or not ever climb on

2339
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,760
Speaker 2: top of a lamp post. I would never, even if

2340
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 2: I was off of a bet. Two things I would

2341
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,719
Speaker 2: never do. You know, if I was in a baseball

2342
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 2: game and someone dared me to go out, maybe if

2343
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 2: even for a thousand dollars to streak on the field,

2344
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:54,600
Speaker 2: which no one does anymore, I would never do that.

2345
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:56,680
Speaker 2: And number two, I would never climb on a lamp

2346
01:48:56,680 --> 01:48:59,120
Speaker 2: post or maybe even go on a goalpost at a

2347
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 2: football game. And so libration. Those are the things I

2348
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 2: would not do. Why people do that? You know, everybody

2349
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 2: beats to a different drummer. I just would not do it.

2350
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,759
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I mean it's certainly a different approach

2351
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 4: to everything. Like if that's how you're gonna get down,

2352
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 4: not my approach, not my tack. But look, I find

2353
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 4: it funny just when people, like when people go and

2354
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:22,840
Speaker 4: tear down the goal posts and all that other stuff

2355
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 4: like that wouldn't be my flavor. But some people, when

2356
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 4: they win, they kind of associate winning with destruction. Hey,

2357
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 4: we won, let's tear some stuff up. It's kind of

2358
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:36,559
Speaker 4: a part of that's kind of part of the deal,

2359
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 4: all right.

2360
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 2: The last game that I think should be shown on

2361
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 2: the network. And it's on the NFL network, so this

2362
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,200
Speaker 2: is a big one. A. I think it's primetime. Yet

2363
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 2: it's a Sunday night, your Jacksonville Jags. I think they're

2364
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,640
Speaker 2: playing in London that night against the Rams, and I

2365
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,679
Speaker 2: think it's like a teacher pupil game with the coaching staff,

2366
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean the coaches. I mean, is that a big

2367
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 2: drawing factor? I think when fans watch the games, I

2368
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 2: don't think they even know. I mean they watched the play.

2369
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm watching this game because I want to see Travis Hunter.

2370
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:11,759
Speaker 2: I want to see how many snaps he takes playing

2371
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,559
Speaker 2: both ways? And have you heard anything about that? Because

2372
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,200
Speaker 2: you're involved, you're on the inside with Jacksonville. You know,

2373
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:20,640
Speaker 2: is it his call, the coach's call, or maybe they

2374
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 2: don't want to risk injury. They're not going to make

2375
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 2: him play both ways? How's that going to work?

2376
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

2377
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 4: He absolutely is playing both ways. And what they're doing

2378
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 4: is they're slowly trying to introduce him to both sides.

2379
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 4: So for instance, that Rickie Minni caamp Be spent all

2380
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 4: of his time on offense, and then as they got

2381
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,759
Speaker 4: to the regular workouts, they begin to use him on defense,

2382
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 4: and they have a plan in place for how to

2383
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 4: utilize him on both sides, and that might require him

2384
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 4: to spend a few days on offense at practice a

2385
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:50,080
Speaker 4: day or two on defense at practice, so we can

2386
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 4: understand both parts of the game plan. But there is

2387
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 4: no world in which I can envision the Jaguars just

2388
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 4: putting him on one side of the ball.

2389
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 3: And saying, hey, this is all you're doing. Talented to.

2390
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:06,439
Speaker 4: He has too many big play qualities to not allow

2391
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,719
Speaker 4: him to kind of play both. It's just a matter

2392
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 4: of how do you set it, how do you kind

2393
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 4: of plan it out so he doesn't wear himself out

2394
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 4: over the course of the season.

2395
01:51:16,840 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 2: And that Sunday game, October the nineteenth will be in London, England,

2396
01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 2: NFL Network, nine thirty am Eastern Times. So right after

2397
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:27,639
Speaker 2: I get off the air here, I'll be able. I guess,

2398
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 2: Will you be doing the show with me that Sunday?

2399
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you will, right and then from there to

2400
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:33,559
Speaker 2: go right to you'll be in London, Yes.

2401
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I'll be in London. I don't know. We

2402
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 3: have to figure that out.

2403
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:38,599
Speaker 4: Like I think we can use some of the stuff

2404
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 4: that we used, like remotely over there, like got to come. Yeah,

2405
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:42,600
Speaker 4: we got to figure that one out. I think we

2406
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 4: can do it.

2407
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 2: Great. That will be wonderful. I mean you'll be in

2408
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 2: London in the game and with the game will be

2409
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 2: kicking off for a half hour right after we go

2410
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 2: off the air. That'll be tremendous. But I'll bid would

2411
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,559
Speaker 2: it be if Travis Hunter pulls a pick six as

2412
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 2: you write against Matthew Stafford that day on National TV?

2413
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 3: That needed to be great? Can can't get much better

2414
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:02,280
Speaker 3: than that. I'll be excited about that.

2415
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to do this now. I want to

2416
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 2: start some uh yeah, some trouble. That's what I don't

2417
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,960
Speaker 2: let's use the term trouble because when I when I

2418
01:52:12,080 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 2: see the media in the greatest Cincinnati area and they

2419
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:17,640
Speaker 2: go through the schedule, I think it's stupid. I'm not

2420
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 2: doing that with you because I think it's dumb. They

2421
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:23,600
Speaker 2: see how many games are You don't like predicting, you

2422
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 2: don't like it's a stupid It's a waste of time.

2423
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 2: Two things in talk radio are a waste of time

2424
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 2: and a crutch. Number one lists have picking schedules. It's

2425
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 2: stupid because injury whatever it doesn't work out and nobody

2426
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 2: remembers it. It's a time killer. And the second thing,

2427
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 2: which is a crutch our telephone calls. Really, people come

2428
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 2: in off the street, they don't know what to talk about.

2429
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,000
Speaker 2: They give their phone number. And I've always said this,

2430
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 2: I've told this the program directors. I hear guys that

2431
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 2: are behind the microphone say, hey, how you doing. My

2432
01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 2: name is Joe Schmoe, and here's the number the call.

2433
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 2: And I always tell a program director and they agree

2434
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 2: with me. They say, why would a guy called there's

2435
01:52:57,360 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 2: no reason to call? You say something that It really

2436
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 2: gets under my crawl that you don't agree with dn call,

2437
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 2: but just don't give out the number. But that story

2438
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 2: for another day, all right, So they give out the

2439
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: phone number, they're doing the schedule thing. I don't go

2440
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 2: for that, I really don't. But you know, I look

2441
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 2: at what's happening right now in the National Football League.

2442
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 2: I think things are things are hot and heavy. There

2443
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 2: really are. So that's what they do, all right? Do

2444
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,240
Speaker 2: you agree? You agree with that?

2445
01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 5: Right?

2446
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:28,600
Speaker 4: I mean I kind of agree with you on some

2447
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 4: of it, but I mean it's somewhere It is fun though,

2448
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:32,400
Speaker 4: have a little fun there'll be a stick in the mud.

2449
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, is what does it do a

2450
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:36,320
Speaker 2: pick up the schedule? Who's gonna win?

2451
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,400
Speaker 4: I mean, like, come on, like it just provides us

2452
01:53:39,439 --> 01:53:41,400
Speaker 4: with what else are we gonna talk about? Andy gives

2453
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 4: us a chance to like burn some time, talk about it, speculate.

2454
01:53:44,800 --> 01:53:48,960
Speaker 4: It's no different than everyone who obsesses over mock.

2455
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 2: Drafts, right, I hear what you're saying.

2456
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, And like.

2457
01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 4: We're already doing mock drafts in twenty twenty six when

2458
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 4: we haven't played a down of twenty twenty five. We

2459
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 4: don't even have an idea of who potentially could hold

2460
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:05,960
Speaker 4: the number one overall pick.

2461
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,599
Speaker 3: But that won't stop us from clicking in to see

2462
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 3: what it is.

2463
01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 2: But you know some of that is okay, But let

2464
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:14,200
Speaker 2: me let me drop the bomb. Right now, here's the bomb.

2465
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:15,840
Speaker 2: I say, I want to start some trouble. So the

2466
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 2: media in the greatest Cincinnati area are going through the

2467
01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:20,439
Speaker 2: schedule and then look at the Bengal schedule and they

2468
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:23,680
Speaker 2: look at the home openers, Ah, Jacksonville, that's a win,

2469
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 2: all right. I want to start the problem. Right, it's

2470
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 2: not a win. It's not going to be a win.

2471
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 3: Maybe you never know, you never know, maybe like so yeah,

2472
01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 3: you count.

2473
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 4: Everybody does that though, Like I look, I'll admit I've

2474
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 4: gone through there and be like, okay, like chuck this

2475
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 4: one up if you I just.

2476
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 2: Want to get to pass the info down to the

2477
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 2: folks down to Jacksonville that the media in Cincinnati's already

2478
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 2: keep putting up the trucking up on the left side

2479
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:50,040
Speaker 2: of the ledger. It's a win against Jacksonville when they

2480
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:52,320
Speaker 2: come to Cincinnati, all right. I don't think it's going

2481
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 2: to be that easy.

2482
01:54:53,760 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they might not. I mean it may

2483
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 4: not be easy. Maybe some challenges or whatever.

2484
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 3: Like who knows the same team to New England this year, Yeah,

2485
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 3: but that was last year. Different team, all right, we'll

2486
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 3: see different teams. They might be better.

2487
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at you so positive. I love you for that.

2488
01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks, I'm Andy fermerwe have Fox Sports Sunday

2489
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports. Ready by the way, point your finger,

2490
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 2: it's time. Why the blame game is freaking next? All right?

2491
01:55:20,360 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 2: The blame game in about eleven minutes is coming right up.

2492
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 2: And of course he's Bucket Brooks and Andy Furman with

2493
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio, and we're live

2494
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio students by the way, top

2495
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:32,960
Speaker 2: of the hour nine o'clock Eastern Countdown with Brian no,

2496
01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: Bill Krakenberger and Jeff Schwartz. But right now, Patty, take

2497
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:37,840
Speaker 2: us to the Promised Land.

2498
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 1: It's all your fault. It's your fault.

2499
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 2: What's is all your fault? Maybe it's everyone's fault, the liar.

2500
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 1: That's there's the blame game, the blame game. Let's figure

2501
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:54,840
Speaker 1: out who to blame blame.

2502
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm blaming you, he's all.

2503
01:55:56,560 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 5: I blame you today, Andy Lord, Well, you know what,

2504
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:05,200
Speaker 5: let's get into the blame game, guys. So let's take

2505
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:08,160
Speaker 5: it to the Colts here, guys. So the Colts attempt

2506
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:11,360
Speaker 5: at a little levity has gotten into a no laughing matter.

2507
01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 5: They compiled a video of number ten, Tyreek Hill on

2508
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins, who was swimming along before he stopped

2509
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 5: by the coast guards. It was on their little schedule

2510
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 5: released a little Minecraft walk and Tyreek Hill was the

2511
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 5: dolphin actually on there. So they was stopped by the

2512
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:34,320
Speaker 5: coast guard in their little video. It was it was

2513
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 5: involved in a little controversial incident with with Miami deputies

2514
01:56:38,680 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 5: last September. That's what they're alluding to.

2515
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 1: Who do you play, Mandy?

2516
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:44,480
Speaker 2: You know what, It's amazing because the guy who did

2517
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 2: it is not even going to guy blame. No one

2518
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,600
Speaker 2: knows who he is. Some clown who's at the social

2519
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 2: media director of the Miami Dolphins. That guy should be hung.

2520
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,960
Speaker 2: He should be fired. It's embarrassing. You don't make fun

2521
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 2: of somebody. I mean really, I mean the Colts. Excuse me.

2522
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 2: You're not gonna know who he is because he's a

2523
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 2: guy who probably works in the back room somewhere. Get

2524
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 2: him out of it. It's embarrassing he did that. You

2525
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 2: just don't do that to people at their expense. Make

2526
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: fun of him, although I do that all the time.

2527
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:12,520
Speaker 2: But it's his fault. It's his fault.

2528
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 4: Dawn came down. It was fun like, like, why is

2529
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:24,720
Speaker 4: everyone so serious? It was a dolphin messed up by

2530
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 4: the coast guard. I chuckled.

2531
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 3: Tyreek Keel said, hey, he didn't take any offense. Come down, it's.

2532
01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:34,000
Speaker 1: Fine, agreed. Tyreek was funny.

2533
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah a little bit, Yeah, I will.

2534
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 1: All right.

2535
01:57:39,200 --> 01:57:43,040
Speaker 5: Well, guys, it's been thirty six years and Major League

2536
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:46,680
Speaker 5: Baseball finally reinstates Pete Rose after his death.

2537
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 1: Who do you blame, Bucky?

2538
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 4: I blame the archaic ways that baseball thinks, particularly the writers,

2539
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 4: in terms of who they put in and who they

2540
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 4: keep out of the Hall of Fame. Look, he should

2541
01:57:57,360 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 4: have been in the Hall of Fame long time ago

2542
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:01,680
Speaker 4: on his marriage. Glad they lifted this so he could

2543
01:58:01,760 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to get in. But you never know, though,

2544
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 4: though those virtuous writers may not let him in as

2545
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 4: a hit king.

2546
01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:11,840
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta blame the commissioners prior to Rob

2547
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:14,080
Speaker 2: manfor at least Manford had to hang it downs to

2548
01:58:14,200 --> 01:58:16,440
Speaker 2: let him in, to reinstate him. Not that he's gonna

2549
01:58:16,440 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame, but it's it's a start.

2550
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:20,360
Speaker 2: It's a start. He's at the starting line right now.

2551
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:25,040
Speaker 2: So I blame everybody who preceded preceded Rob Manford, including

2552
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 2: the late Barchia Maddi.

2553
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:30,480
Speaker 5: All Right, well, if the NFL is such a quarterback

2554
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 5: driven league, guys, why isn't cam Ward in the Tennessee

2555
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 5: Titans on any primetime TV games next season?

2556
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 1: Who do you blame, Mandy?

2557
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,760
Speaker 2: Oh? Probably TV networks. They're too stupid to figure that

2558
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 2: out there. Everybody wants to see what the first the

2559
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 2: first pick of the draft was. But obviously Tennessee's a

2560
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 2: small market and Tennessee's a bad football team, so they

2561
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 2: figured no one's gonna watch. They're wrong.

2562
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 3: Who but I mean, they don't have any buzz about

2563
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 3: the man.

2564
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 4: As much as cam Ward was celebrated as the number

2565
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:00,400
Speaker 4: one quarterback in the thing, he wasn't the star of

2566
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 4: the class, all of the star power when with Shuduer Sanders,

2567
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 4: if the Tennessee Titans had taken Shaduur Sanders for the

2568
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 4: first overall pick, we can guarantee that it would have

2569
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 4: been on This is about star power, not about necessarily

2570
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:15,280
Speaker 4: playing style or playing ability, and so that's why they're

2571
01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 4: not on prime time.

2572
01:59:16,480 --> 01:59:18,920
Speaker 2: That's why people listen to this show. We got star power,

2573
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks, we got star power.

2574
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: Star power.

2575
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:27,080
Speaker 5: Indeed, yes, game's overseas guys, so London, Brazil, Germany and Mexico.

2576
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:31,400
Speaker 5: Without any regard for the hometown fans who may miss

2577
01:59:31,480 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 5: a home game in the NFL season for this coming

2578
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 5: up this coming season, Who do you blame, Bucky?

2579
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:39,320
Speaker 4: Look, give me, I think it's fine. I think I

2580
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 4: blamed the fans because they talked about how they couldn't

2581
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:41,680
Speaker 4: afford it.

2582
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 3: The tickets are so high.

2583
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 4: So what the NFL did is they took them overseas,

2584
01:59:45,720 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 4: and when they sell those tickets, those stadiums sell out

2585
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 4: in thirty minutes.

2586
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:51,400
Speaker 3: That's why it's the complainers.

2587
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:54,400
Speaker 2: Give me a break. I'm not complaining about that. You

2588
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 2: know what, by season tickets, I'm gonna lose a home

2589
01:59:57,240 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 2: game because of the pigs, the capitalists, the capitalistic society

2590
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 2: that I want to expand and have the NFL worldwide global.

2591
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 2: It's wrong. I buy a season ticket, I want to

2592
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:10,920
Speaker 2: see seven or eight games, or even nine games every year.

2593
02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:14,640
Speaker 2: All right, countdowns next right here, Fox, stick with them
