79
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna do. Let's kick things off

80
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: with some quarterback news of the week, because we got

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: a lot and I'm a feeling it's gonna be this

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: domino effect once it gets started, like who's available and

83
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: where their land. But let's start with a man who

84
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: was for sure on the move, because it was announced

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: this week that the Broncos well part way with Russell Wilson.

86
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: He will officially be released when the new league year

87
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 2: starts on Wednesday, but he was given permission to meet

88
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: with teams and uh yeah, First off, what does this

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: mean for the Broncos?

90
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: Right?

91
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 2: They will now be eating eighty five million in dead

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: cap money for two years. To you guys, that is

93
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: the largest dead cap hit ever. They are basically paying

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Russ millions of dollars to get the hell out. That

95
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: is that is crazy. It's more than the top two

96
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: biggest cap dead cap hits comebinind and the casualness with

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: which we are treating eighty five million dollars.

98
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: That they are just eating just so they don't have him.

99
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: Please give me eighty five million dollars to not quarterback

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: someone I cant absolutely do that. Give me eighty five

101
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: million dollars to not quarterback a team like.

102
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: You have to like say, now I think we can

103
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: officially say this was probably the worst trade in NFL history.

104
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: The fact that you're just like, you gave up everything

105
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: that you did for him and then you're just eating yeah,

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: eighty five million dollar.

107
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: Being that you are releasing a player that is then

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: costing you eighty five million dollars to not be part

109
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: of the organization.

110
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: No, you were paying him to go play somewhere else

111
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: and play against you. But honestly, like not really surprised

112
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: because from the get go it wasn't working with Russ

113
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: and Sean Pap, I mean, Peyton made the comment that

114
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: he needs to stop kissing babies. You're not running for

115
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: public office before the season even started, So it was

116
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: over for these two from the get go wasn't a

117
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: good fit. The Broncos really made their decision right. They

118
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: decided to keep one of the best coaches of our

119
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: generation and pay russ to leave. So, as we mentioned,

120
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: it was reported Friday morning by Dana Russini, who we

121
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: also had on the herd yesterday, and she told us

122
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: russ met with the Giants on Thursday and then he

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: flew to Pittsburgh to meet with the Steelers on Friday.

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: Now everyone saw it because there were photos of him

125
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: on the airplane. Yes, in the airport, because it's what

126
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: he does. Also though, like but that's kind of respect

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: that he was taking, like public transportation, like not a PJ.

128
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: Ord knows that he's got the money between him, and

130
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: that's what I'm saying that.

131
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: That was my first thought. I was like, Oh, he's

132
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: a man of the people. He needs he's coming off.

133
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: He's got to rebrand himself a little bit.

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see if that help.

135
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: So Wisconsin, beginnings are coming out, well not even.

136
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Beginnings, but okay, So where is the best landing spot

137
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: for us?

138
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 5: Right?

139
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: Because I feel like he needs a place that kind

140
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: of have the pieces already in place. A GM and

141
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: a coach that want and can work with him, because honestly,

142
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: like he's still a good quarterback. He hasn't had the

143
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: best record the last few years, but he's still proven.

144
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be one of your top guys. But

145
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: last season he was top ten in passer rating, he

146
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: was eighth. Passing touchdowns he was ninth.

147
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: That's still like that productive.

148
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: Scarce good quarterback. P Yes, yes, this is all you

149
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 4: can ask for. And the biggest part of all of

150
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: this is that he comes at that minimum. Yes, he

151
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: has no incentives to there's no team that has incentive

152
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 4: to sign him for any more steel. It is a

153
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: steal for getting a solid quarterback. Yes, not anything fancy,

154
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: but a solid quarterback for vet minimum. I mean he's

155
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: going to have options. He should, but I also don't

156
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: think that we are going to know exactly where he

157
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: will end up until there are other dominoes that fall.

158
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: I think Kirk Cousins is going to be that.

159
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is still the top free agent quarterback. Yeah,

160
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: and he is still the first choice I think of

161
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: pretty much every everybody team that still needs a quarterback

162
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: right now.

163
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: Which is interesting too write So I think Vikings or Falcons,

164
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 2: maybe top landing spots for Kirk.

165
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: Well, I'm the more and more I talk to people

166
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: in India, and the more and more I get from.

167
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: Them, give us, give us the insight.

168
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: I don't think Kirk is coming back to Minnesota, Okay,

169
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: And honestly I know they want him back. Quesciadofa Menza

170
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: their general manager, Kevin O'Connell their head coach. They both

171
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: have not and shy about saying we want Kirk back.

172
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: But Kirk's deal voids when the league gear starts March thirteenth.

173
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: Once his deal voids, the Vikings are then on the hook.

174
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: Is We're a significant amount of dead cap as part

175
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: of Kirk's contract, whether or not he resigns with the Vikings,

176
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: So they have to start there. When you talk about

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: a possible extension, you have to start with. I believe

178
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: the figure's like twenty eight point five million dollars in

179
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: dead cap, and that is not even getting to any

180
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: sort of new contract that you would be awarding him.

181
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: The Vikings have cap space, They have over forty one

182
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: million dollars of cap space. They don't have that much CASP.

183
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,479
Speaker 3: Best second half and so more than half.

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: We also know that the Vikings tried to move up

185
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: last year to get C. J. Stroud in the draft,

186
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 4: so it looks like they're kind of bracing themselves for

187
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: a rebuild.

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: Interesting.

189
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's also interesting because they've already committed around

190
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: what like two hundred million dollars to Kirk and they

191
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: don't have a boding Yeah, so that that too is like, dah,

192
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: are you going to give him like another forty mil

193
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: a year in like hopes that maybe you can get.

194
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: Over the hunt and especially now that he's on the

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: wrong side of thirty five coming off of an Achilles' injury.

196
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: Massive injury.

197
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: But that being said, him and Ken Kirk cousins and

198
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell have such a good relationship. But Kevin O'Connell

199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: had a really revealing interview during the combine where he

200
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: said Kirk has earned the right to become a free

201
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: agent and he is going to do what's best for him.

202
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: Kirk has always been about his money. Don't don't let

203
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: anybody for you. He is a wonderful family man. But

204
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: for that exact reason, duh, Like he's covering his agent.

205
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 3: Fully guaranteed contracts for his agents. He is like one

206
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 3: of the best contract.

207
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: Who is a big time, high flying agent for a

208
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: lot of these guys. Honestly, he's got quite a few big,

209
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: high profile clients. But Kirk is going to go where

210
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: he is paid. Yeah, and there is no shortage. Kirk

211
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: has every incentive to hit free agency because there are

212
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: no shortage of tea teams that will pay him money

213
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 4: that the Minnesota Vikings may not want to.

214
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: So what do you see it like, Atlanta Because your

215
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator is Zach Robinson comes from the Sean

216
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: McVay tree, and I feel like everyone from the Sean

217
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: McVay tree just absolutely loves Kirk.

218
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: I mean even Kevin O'Connell comes from the as well.

219
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: Kirk has only ever been in this tree. Yes, he

220
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: has gone.

221
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: To great Tree.

222
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: I mean almost half the league at this point is

223
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: our disciples of this Sean McVay, the Mike Shannan through

224
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: Kyle shanahan U tree. So the Shanahan McVay tree is

225
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: alive and well, and Kirk can operate it with the

226
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 4: best of them. So I do think that Atlanta is

227
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 4: a really solid landing spot. I mean, they trust kind

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: of these veteran quarterbacks they stuck with Matt Ryan for

229
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: so long. I just think that that is probably the

230
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: most likely scenario, and that really has a trickle down

231
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: effect throughout this entire quarterback free agency class.

232
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: And I think the next domino would be Baker Mayfield.

233
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: Like obviously they're in negotiations with Tampa right now, but

234
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: he only made four million dollars last year, which is

235
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: insane because.

236
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: He he did such a.

237
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: Good job of revamping his career. I think that started

238
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: when he had that moment with Sean McVay and the Rams,

239
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: because that's what he does. He just like go to

240
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: like football rehab. Sean Gavay's got you. Let's let's get

241
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: you back on track. But will Tampa be willing to

242
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: go above thirty million dollars? I mean, you were with

243
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: Tampa for years, you know, kind of like what they're like.

244
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: They have that Florida no tax element, which I'm sure

245
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: is a bargaining.

246
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: Tool for that.

247
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: They absolutely use that, Yeah, which they should.

248
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: They should. Here's the thing about Tampa.

249
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: They had interest in Baker Mayfield before Tom Brady, before

250
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: they knew that Tom Brady was yes.

251
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so they like, okay, Tom's gone, all right, we're

252
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: ready for you now, Baker.

253
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: But before Tom came to Tampa is what I'm telling you,

254
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: that they had interest.

255
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: In Baker was originally interested in Dolphins.

256
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: Right there was there was the Dolphins. There was potential

257
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 4: for the forty nine, or there was like it was

258
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 4: it was. There was a lot of rumors. But before

259
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: the Bucks knew that they were going to get Tom Brady,

260
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield was the was the plan one b if

261
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: If Tom was one a okay, Baker Mayfield was one

262
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 4: b okay.

263
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: So they like him a lot.

264
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: So the organization has liked him for a long time.

265
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: Are they going to give him what he deserves?

266
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 4: And I have to think so because here's the other

267
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: thing too. They Baker advocated, even though he's only with

268
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: him for one year, he advocated for them to resign

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: Mike Evans, yeah, and keep him. You know that Buck

270
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: for life. Mike Evans did not want to go anywhere.

271
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: I'm so happy that deal got done. I'm so happy

272
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: for Mike. I'm so happy for his wife, Ashley. I'm

273
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: so happy for Tampa as a city. But they also

274
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: brought in Liam Cohen as offensive coordinator, who has experienced

275
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: with Baker Mayfield, who Baker Mayfield vouched for when it

276
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: came to hiring him to fill Dave Canalis's spot. Okay,

277
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: And this is a guy that his offense was very good.

278
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: It was a very good fit with Baker Mayfield in

279
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. So you don't do all of that and

280
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: then not reassign Baker Mayfield.

281
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: So, okay, I have full.

282
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 4: Faith in Jason light and Mike Greenberg and these guys

283
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 4: to creatively figure out a way to keep Baker Mayfield

284
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: in Tampa.

285
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going anywhere, Okay.

286
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: So say Kirk ends up maybe in Atlanta, Default Vikings maybe,

287
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: and then you have Baker staying in Tampa.

288
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: Where do you see Russ going?

289
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Like, we know we met with the Giants, we know

290
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: we met with the Steelers. Raiders still kind of need

291
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: someone same division can kind of stick it to Sean Payton.

292
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: Do you do you see him having like a solid

293
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: landing starting spot.

294
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: I do, And I think it would be interesting too.

295
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: I think that the Giants are a little bit of

296
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: a dark horse here because of the fact that this

297
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 4: would let them off the hook for this awful Daniel

298
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: Jones contract where they paid somebody that didn't pan out right,

299
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: and they've become the laughing stock of especially their division,

300
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: if not the entire league. Now you can sign a

301
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: guy like Russ Wilson for for ben minimum and either

302
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: have the competition or at least the Giants have an

303
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: out on Daniel Jones's contract for twenty twenty five, so

304
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: this would bridge the gap between then and now. Between

305
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: now and then, I should say and have Russell Wilson

306
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: even either be the starter.

307
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.

308
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: Russ has absolute control over where he goes. Now you

309
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: want to look at a place like I don't know, Minnesota,

310
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: who Minnesota. I maybe still draft a quarterback, but now

311
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: you have the luxury if you have Russell Wilson on

312
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: your roster, you have the luxury of drafting a developmental

313
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: quarterback that can sid for a year behind Russ Wilson. Again,

314
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 4: will he do it, I don't know, But you do

315
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: have the league's best receiver at your disposal in Dustin Jefferson,

316
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: who is doing a new contract very soon. You have

317
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: a good offensive line, depending on how they kind of

318
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: fill a couple of holes. Christian Darrisaw I think is

319
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: one of the best tackles in the league, and you

320
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: have TJ. Hopkins in a really good tight end. You

321
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: have to figure out the run game a little bit more.

322
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: But Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, and that entire staff is full

323
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: of former quarterbacks. So taking a developmental guy, letting him

324
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: learn from that staff while having Russell Wilson, I don't know,

325
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 4: that seems like kind of a good situation for me.

326
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: It does kind of seem like a no brainer. But again,

327
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: I think this is all going to come down to

328
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback domino effect. That's going to start with Kirk,

329
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: then go to Baker, then maybe Russ and then you

330
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: even have justin fields. But like that's a little more

331
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: tricky because it's a trade and what's someone willing to

332
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: give up for Chicago. We'll dive into that a little later.

333
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break here, but when

334
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,520

00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: time for our first guest, one of my favorite all

358
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: time coworkers I've ever had. He's a legend on the

359
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: volleyball court and a legend on the prices right and

360
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: currently those of the Lakers.

361
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: On Spectrum Sports Night, Let's.

362
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Give it up for Chris Peeter McGee gee geet.

363
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: Hi, friends. That was one of the nicer intros I've

364
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 5: ever had.

365
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: Do you like it?

366
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: I love it?

367
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: I loved it.

368
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: I loved it, Geet. Lakers showed up last night without

369
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Lebron on the core a huge win down the stretch,

370
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: jumping to ninth over the Warriors last night.

371
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: So with the regular season kind of.

372
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 2: Winding down, what are realistic expectations for the Lakers this postseason?

373
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 5: For me? I think they can get to the eighth spot, Okay,

374
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: chasing Dallas. They're kind of in that battle with Dallas

375
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: and the Warriors. I just feel like that loss to

376
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 5: the Kings, it doesn't like eliminate them from that seven

377
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: to sixth spot and having a chance to play in

378
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: that playing game and have a home game like they

379
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: did last year. But when you're three four behind in

380
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 5: the lost column with like seventeen to go, that's actually

381
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 5: a lot to make up. So I think they can

382
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 5: get to that eighth spot, possibly seven. Here's the thing,

383
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 5: we've watched this team all year, like if they played

384
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 5: like that, they can beat anyone. But we've also seen,

385
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 5: you know, everyone's good in the West, Like there's no

386
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 5: easy matchups, so going on the road to be tough.

387
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 5: But if they could get in, if they could get

388
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 5: into the playoff, they can win those playing games and

389
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 5: get in. They're definitely a dangerous team to play. I mean,

390
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 5: if you don't, you long as you don't match up

391
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 5: with Denver, I think I would feel good about their champs.

392
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also going to help to have Lebron back.

393
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Obviously didn't play last night. What's the latest on his injury.

394
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 5: So he's had that ankle injury that's been nagnhim, okay

395
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 5: all year, and he's he's heard it a few times

396
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 5: where he's had to take some time off. I think

397
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: the five games in eight days that he played, playing

398
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 5: thirty seven thirty eight minutes a night, and then he

399
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: tweaked it a little bit at the end of that

400
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 5: Sacramento game minutes left. I think that was I was

401
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: I thought he might play, but I wasn't surprised Alex

402
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: when he said he wasn't, because he always needs a

403
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: little extra rest to get that thing right.

404
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: I mean, he looks fresh on the bench. He really

405
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: didn't like lapping. Yeah, geter him.

406
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 5: How are you good?

407
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: How are you?

408
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 5: So?

409
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: Here's the thing about Lebron, though, is do you think

410
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: that they're going to take a little bit more time

411
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 4: with him with what they have eighteen nineteen games left,

412
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 4: I think they're going to take a little bit more

413
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: time with them because they need him to kind of

414
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 4: come on strong down the stretches. It's one of those

415
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: tests for him where he's single handedly going to have

416
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: to will the Lakers into the postseason.

417
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 5: Again, Listen, I mean, it's what he's done his entire career.

418
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you, I think there's two ways

419
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 5: to look at it. I have always I stopped guessing

420
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: a while ago on what like the plan was because honestly,

421
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: it comes down to him and nobody knows his body

422
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: more than him. Ian Mike can see has put a

423
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: lot of time into it, and here's what I've learned.

424
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 5: He won't risk like if he's not good to go,

425
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: then he would rather rest up because he knows if

426
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: he is good to go. I think he believes that

427
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: that team can beat anyone. So if you see him

428
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 5: out there, then you know it's not bothered. You know

429
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: it's gonna bother a little bit, but it's not where

430
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 5: it's affecting his play. Yeah, that makes sense, but I

431
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: know he feels this way. I can give you a

432
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: hundred percent that he will if the opportunity presents where

433
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: he could get some rest going into the playoffs, or

434
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 5: he can manage napgate last seventeen games and play, you

435
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: know whatever, thirteen of them, fourteen of them. He will

436
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 5: do that because if he is somewhat fresh going into

437
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: the playoffs, and I know he's got a lot of

438
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 5: belief himself, and I believe in it too.

439
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's the best of the best, Lebron

440
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: obviously becoming the first player to reach forty thousand points

441
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 2: last week.

442
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: But guy, I mean, but guys, honestly, Alex, it used

443
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 5: to be when he didn't play it's an l Yes,

444
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 5: it's not that way now. I mean they're five and four.

445
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: You don't want to play long term without him. But

446
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: he can survive a game or two, and I think

447
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 5: that's comforting for Lebron, and say they lose.

448
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 4: Every game he sets a record in anyways of.

449
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 5: The great point Dude.

450
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's got to be so anti climactic. But

451
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: where do you where do you kind of rank that

452
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: forty thousand points career accomplishment that he got last week?

453
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 5: Listen, I'm way older than you, guys, so I was

454
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: going up and I was a young teenager when Kareem

455
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: passed gerlind Yeah, and then by the time he was

456
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: done playing, you saw thirty eight thousand points. That record

457
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: stood for thirty nine years. Not only did lebron pass it,

458
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 5: he's at forty k in counting. Yeah. I don't think

459
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 5: forty k was ever even believable at the time. Obviously,

460
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 5: the three point line has changed things, right, Like Kareem

461
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 5: stayed four years in college, she only shot one three,

462
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 5: so it's a different time. But the thing that I

463
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 5: I the reason why I believe, guys that Lebronze will

464
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: stand for a long long time is because you have

465
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: to stay healthy for twenty one twenty two years, and

466
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: then you have to deliver at a rate that has

467
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 5: never been seen before. Mean, he's averaging twenty five a

468
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: game as a thirty nine year old. You know when

469
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 5: other people Alex we showed this graphic day one of

470
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: Media Day when he came on the set, Vince Carter, Drittobinski,

471
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: Robert six guys would played twenty one years, seven guys,

472
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 5: you know what the highest scoring average was and then

473
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 5: six twenty two points per game. Six So guys in

474
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 5: her twenty first year average six points a game. He's

475
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 5: after twenty five. Wow, So it's gonna be around for

476
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: a long time.

477
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 4: I think, I think the biggest because obviously the game

478
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: has changed, Like you said, the three point line has

479
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: it's come into effect. And you see these kids coming

480
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: up in AAU two who are just scoring machines, right,

481
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: and you think that, Okay, how long can this record

482
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 4: stand when the game is moving more towards offense as

483
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: I feel like every all four of the is your

484
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 4: sports are. But then you look at I look at

485
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: a guy like Steph Curry who has made his money

486
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: literally the three point three point line, but he's at

487
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 4: what twenty five thousand points?

488
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 5: Still just go far away from him and Steph will

489
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 5: end up I think when he's done, whenever that is,

490
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: he'll be in that top you know ten category, but

491
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 5: like in scoring, but yeah, look how far off he is.

492
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 5: M So it's and by the way, they don't even

493
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: count playoff numbers. I mean imagine if they did, so

494
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 5: it's it's pretty crazy. But yeah, I mean, listen, the

495
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: scoring has changed. Kids are scoring at Will Wemby's going

496
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 5: to be fun to watch for the next sixteen years

497
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: to see what he becomes there. Who knows, maybe there's

498
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: a four point line one. You know at some year

499
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 5: that that ads when I'm older. Break. But listen, Lebron

500
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 5: right now, he's just that records here for a while.

501
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: I love that. Now.

502
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: Lebron is reportedly worked towards a new deal to remain

503
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. What are you hearing about the potential

504
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: new contract for him?

505
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have anything. Things. I think it's funny.

506
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what I thought. I was under

507
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: the impression probably a month ago, two months ago. I

508
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, because of how last year ended,

509
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: he was so tired. If he walked away this year,

510
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have been surprised.

511
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh, just like from the game or from the Lakers.

512
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, the closer, Yeah, from the game, but the closer

513
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: I got closer to now. And like you said, you

514
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 5: hear about the reports, I'm like, he's still doing it,

515
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: He's still delivering it. I think if he's still mentally

516
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 5: engaged and mentally able to be up for the grind

517
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 5: to be great because he doesn't want to be just

518
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: an average guy out there, he's gonna have Yeah. So

519
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: if he can do that, then he will play another

520
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: year possibly too. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if

521
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 5: he opted out and signed his two year deal with

522
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: the Lakers, got the max money like he deserves, and

523
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 5: he played another hear or two I see happening.

524
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he's openly said he wants to play with

525
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: Brownie in the league, right.

526
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm curious where that is now he hasn't

527
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 5: said that, but but yeah, I mean obviously I think

528
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 5: that was a dream.

529
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: Yes, but with everything.

530
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you never know that, yeah, obviously, but yeah,

531
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: I think that's I'm not going to put it back, man.

532
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: It's Lebron. If anyone can do it, it's him, Okay.

533
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: Finding things to do that no one has ever done before.

534
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, in and outside of the game.

535
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: Now, before we let you go, I want some predictions

536
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: here for the Eastern and Western Conference finals and NBA.

537
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: Finals, anybody being the Celtics.

538
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's who's going to be there, Who's who's going

539
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: to get there?

540
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: Well, I do think Boston comes out of the East,

541
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: and I know I'm not should box there. They should should,

542
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 5: but you never know. And I'm really curious what a

543
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 5: nick Boston that my final could be. And then you know,

544
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: the Bucks can hold on to what they're doing and

545
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 5: they play Boston, It's not going to be a cake walk.

546
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 5: I'm going to get pushed. I wouldn't be shocked if

547
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 5: they get upset. But I do think it is their

548
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: time to get back there, and I gotta be awesome,

549
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 5: you guys. I do think a team from the West

550
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 5: can be on.

551
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: I think Denver can be myself taking both the regular

552
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: season games.

553
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, like, the West is absolutely loaded. I

554
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: think if the team comes out of the West with experience,

555
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: you got to have experience. I don't see okay See

556
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 5: or Minnesota or New Orleans, some of the younger teams

557
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 5: that are moving up the rams. I don't see them

558
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 5: beating Boston. But if you get a Denver in there,

559
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 5: if the Lakers somehow sneak in there, if you could

560
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 5: get Warriors could get hot, if you could see the

561
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: Clippers get there with those three guys like then I

562
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: could see someone beating Boston. So yes, I actually think

563
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 5: the champs coming out of the West. I think obviously

564
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: it goes through Denver. Guys. I can't. Yeah, you all Lakes,

565
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: but but Denver until we till someone beats them, they're

566
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 5: the champs and I'm staying they're the favorite.

567
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: They're It's insane even just watching I mean, watching that

568
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: Boston Denver game this week was like, oh, right out

569
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: of the gates, like down to the wire, was absolutely insane.

570
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 5: Like we've been lucky here to have awesome teams with

571
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 5: the Lakers and championship teams. So whatever team you follow,

572
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've had your window, you know, through the

573
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 5: Warriors and that work. Yeah, Denver in that perfect Denver

574
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 5: in that perfect window right now. They are. They are

575
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: a great team with an unbelievable best player. They're second

576
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: best players Jamal Murray, who is a different player from

577
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 5: their best. He can handle it. They score, they have

578
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 5: all these perfect pieces. Josh Croncky and his staff have

579
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: done an unbelievable job of putting that team together. Their

580
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 5: bench is awesome, they have length, they play defense, they're unselfish.

581
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 5: They really are in that perfect window.

582
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,640

00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 7: round pick in this year's NFL Draft. Broncos now after

Speaker 7: The Eagles have given linebacker Hassan Reddick permission to facilitate

597
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000

601
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 7: offers from Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. Many teams waiting

602
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,200

603
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,720

627
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: on some batties here, and we got to start with

628
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: the battus around right now.

629
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is the battest around. She is the moment.

00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: She is a superstar.

00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: She is the biggest name in college basketball right now.

632
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: She just broke the all time NCAAD one college basketball

633
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: scoring record four men and women, passing a record that

634
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: was set in the seventies by Pistol Pete.

635
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's Ponytail Pete. Now, it's so what.

636
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: They're calling her ponytail Pee. Do you just make that up?

637
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 4: No, that's a thing.

638
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: I can't take credit for that. I'm like, that's the thing,

639
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: that's the thing.

640
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: No, it's a thing. Now, she's just Ponytail Pete.

641
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy.

642
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: That game had more than four million viewers, passing the

643
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 2: three million viewers that watch the Celtics Warriors game that

644
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: same day. She has created so much hype this season

645
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: that the Big Ten Women's Tournament has sold out every

646
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: ticket for its five day event for the first time ever.

647
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: The tournament is expected to draw more than one hundred

648
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: and nine thousand fans, with everyone just like hoping to

649
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: catch a glimpse of Caitlyn Clark. Some are comparing her

650
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: to Taylor Swift, but it's kind of the perfect storm

651
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: right now, right because she's had an iconic season, a

652
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: rise to start them. In a time time where men's

653
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: college basketball is struggling with the one and done system,

654
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: it's hard to find star people who.

655
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: You want to follow.

656
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: She's single handedly has put women's college basketball at the

657
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: forefront of major sports. We have all of the national

658
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: sports talk TV shows having major segments about Caitlyn Clark.

659
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: Please tell me when that's ever happened before. No, it hasn't.

660
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: And honestly, it's so cool to see all of kind

661
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 4: of the legends of the women's basketball legends of the

662
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 4: past show up for her and the fact that she

663
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: now is foresure entering the WNBA Draft. I mean, this

664
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 4: is what it takes to kind of bring all of

665
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: this to the forefront. Is like, all right, you're gonna

666
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 4: hype up Caitlyn Clark in college. Yeah, and then there's

667
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 4: all this conversation about nil and how she can make

668
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 4: more money and call it YadA, YadA, YadA. She's like, no,

669
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: huh uh, I'm gonna go grow this game. Yes at

670
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,920

Speaker 2: Too, Yes, and she's gonna do it, and we're seeing

672
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: it happen right now. Which leads to me to kind

673
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: of like my next shining a spotlight on.

674
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: The Las Vegas Aces.

675
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: Okay, the first w NBA team to sell out their

676
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: season ticket allotment. They are back to back w NBA champs.

677
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: So there is that momentum sure right now right for

678
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: women's sports.

679
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: Everybody watches everybody watches women's sports, Like, just stop.

680
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: The numbers are out, Like I need you people, I

681
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: do two from together. Like Sue Bird was just on

682
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: one of the late night talk shows, Jimmy Fallon, I think,

683
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: and she was handed.

684
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: She gave him the shirts. We all need the shirts.

685
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: Like it's great. Numbers, don't lie, it's happening.

686
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: I am so happy for Caitlyn Clark for women's sports.

687
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: Aces like just absolutely dominating. Who do you have a

688
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: spotlight spotlight on?

689
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to actually spotlight a friend of mine. Oh,

690
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: let's go Jennifer King. She is now the assistant running

691
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 4: backs coach for the Chicago Bears. This is her third

692
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: team that she will be. She became the first black

693
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: woman coach in the NFL when she was with Carolina

694
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 4: Panthers under Ron Rivera. Ron Rivera then took her to

695
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 4: Washington as well, so she was in Washington most recently

696
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 4: and now the Chicagovera's have hired her. And here's the

697
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 4: thing about coaching in the NFL as a woman, Yeah,

698
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: you need to stick. And we have seen women stay,

699
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 4: like you know, come and go with one team and

700
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: then they're kind of out and maybe they get into broadcasting.

701
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: They do that. This that the other.

702
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 4: We are now seeing women go from staff to staff

703
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: like any normal coach would because getting fired in this

704
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 4: business very's that's the reality part of them is. But

705
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 4: now you see women getting picked up on different staffs

706
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: even after their staff is let go or after they

707
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: are let go. That is what that is another step

708
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: in the right direction.

709
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: And Jen King is.

710
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 4: She's a wonderful person. She's so cool. She's one of

711
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: the coolest people I know. And I'm so excited for

712
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 4: her to be in Chicago and to be where there's

713
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 4: going to be a lot of talk about this offense

714
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: and she going to be a pivotal part of it.

715
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they have the number one overall pick. We're

716
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: going to talk about talking Williams. We got that coming

717
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: up at top of hour two, Like we're going to

718
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: dive into all of that. Yes, Okay, I got one

719
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: more shining a light just because she was the ultimate battie.

720
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: This week, the US women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa nay

721
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: Or you guys, I don't know if you watched her

722
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: Gold Cup semi final, but she single handedly sent USA

723
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: to the Gold Cup final. She blocked three pks and

724
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: then made one of her own. I mean it was fabulous.

725
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: I had the opportunity of being up close and personal

726
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: with this team when I was a US embedded reporter

727
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: for the World Cup in France and twenty nineteen, and

728
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: she blocked a PK to send USA to the final.

729
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: In the World Cup. So like I just like she's

730
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: you can do everything. She is her. She is her. Yeah,

731
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: I love that a lot.

732
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 4: I want to actually and then from a historical perspective now,

733
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: because we're it's Women's History History month, please you and

734
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 4: I both have baseball ties. I interned for the Dodgers

735
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 4: way back when, about a decade ago, and I worked

736
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: on a story because the more I saw things coming

737
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 4: out about women in baseball and being allowed into locker

738
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 4: rooms and clubhouses rather and being allowed into press boxes. Yeah,

739
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 4: the Dodgers kept coming up and the Dodgers were one

740
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: of the first teams to allow a woman into a

741
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 4: press box. Her name was Betty Kunaberdi and she was

742
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 4: led into the Dodgers' press box in the early seventies,

743
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 4: I believe. And then there was Claire Smith as well,

744
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: who Dodgers pitcher Steve Garvey infamously walked out of the

745
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: locker room of the nineteen eighty four World Series of

746
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 4: the Clubhouse where Claire was being denied access and said,

747
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: you have a job to do, you need this interview,

748
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: I'm giving it to you. And right after that, the

749
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 4: Commissioner of Baseball changed the policy that made it so

750
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 4: if you a credential across the board, you are given

751
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 4: the same access. It doesn't matter male or female. So

752
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 4: those two pioneering women, I got to talk to both

753
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 4: of them when I was an intern with the Dodgers

754
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 4: and it was incredible just how far we've come and

755
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 4: we still have a ways to go. But as a reporter,

756
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 4: as someone who is granted the access, we are both

757
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: in locker rooms to be in locker rooms. Yeah, these

758
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: are the women that paved the way, and it's really

759
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 4: cool that la yep can say that they were kind

760
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: of at the forefront.

761
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: Of all of us, of everything. Dodgers are the best. Also,

762
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson like they.

763
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 4: This was it's not an accident, happened with one organ.

764
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers know what they're doing. All right, We're going to

765
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 2: take a break here, but when we come back, it

766
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: is the dues and the don'ts in sports. You're listening

Speaker 2: on with your team at Super Bowl.

939
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 4: Now to mention, not every team is there. This is

940
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 4: this is an opportunity to descend upon Indianapolis, which is

941
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: this small city in the Midwest. I love Indianapolis. I

942
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 4: hope the Combine never moves. But within like I mean,

943
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 4: there are like five major hotels, there are three major bars,

944
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 4: and then that's it, and every single NFL team is

945
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 4: there in some capacity to watch all of the future

946
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 4: of the league come into It's it's it's it's the

947
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 4: most incredible week. It's my favorite week of the year.

948
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 4: It is absolutely essential to doing your job as a reporter.

949
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 4: You survive on nothing but red meat and whiskey.

950
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: Shoulder to shoulder in those three major.

951
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 4: Bars, which you do not talk about. The one thing

952
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 4: that I this is this is probably gonna be a

953
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 4: little bit controversial, but the one thing that I need

954
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 4: people to understand and maintain as our media community grows,

955
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 4: which I am all about and love it. I think

956
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 4: there's room for every different kind of media uh member,

957
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 4: and and and different outlets and all that other stuff.

958
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 4: There is room for everybody. But for the love of God,

959
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 4: what happens in prime stays in prime. What happens in

960
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 4: these bars stays in these bars. We are not taking

961
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 4: what we're not doing this.

962
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 3: This should have been on my dountes.

963
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: We do not take pictures in these bars. We do

964
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 4: not report on what we see or hear or talk

965
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 4: about in these bars.

966
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: The off the records, off the record bonding.

967
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: This is where you formulate the context for your opinions. Yes,

968
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 4: but you by no means do you divulge what happens,

969
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 4: because that it's sacred. It's the sanctity of the NFL

970
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 4: combine that makes.

971
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: Trust it's where like they know they can trust you, like, okay,

972
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 2: we just have like a great night out right.

973
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 4: I mean some of my I went drink for a

974
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 4: drink with you. You gotta give me.

975
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 3: Something, You got to give me something. I've had.

976
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: Some of my like greatest relationships within the industry is

977
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: on the road in these situations where you're at the

978
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: hotel bar and you just you bond with these people.

979
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 4: But there's a respect, there's a respect, there's an understanding,

980
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 4: trust and understanding that I will tell you these things,

981
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 4: but they are it's not to get back to me.

982
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 4: It's not for use of reporting all of this kind

983
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 4: of stuff. So that that is my take on we

984
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 4: are getting a little bit too loose with what we're

985
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 4: what we're doing with the bars.

986
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: Uh, we need to we need to just let it be.

987
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: There needs to be like you go through like an

988
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: initiation and like welcome, like right, PowerPoint, this is what

989
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: you cre this is what you.

990
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 4: Do exactly like rule number one about fight club, you

991
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 4: don't talk about fight rum.

992
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 3: I love that.

993
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let's start with the biggest name and the

994
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 2: projected number one pick, Kayla Williams. Absolutely, here's what we

995
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 2: know we know that he's going to go number one.

996
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 2: We know that the Bears have the first overall pick.

997
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: We also know that he pushed back to his official

998
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: visit till after his pro day at USC. We also

999
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: know that he opted out of most of the events

1000
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: at the Combine, including his medical evaluations.

1001
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 3: So as far as we saw.

1002
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: We like he He was chilling there, he was watching,

1003
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: he was supporting his teammates.

1004
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: There was a lot of a lot of thoughts, right,

1005
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 3: a lot.

1006
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 4: Of a lot of dialogue, a lot of.

1007
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: Feelings and and one of those, uh Taylor Luwan offensive

1008
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: Lineman who.

1009
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 4: Has a podcast and current busting with the Boys. Yes,

1010
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 4: Lemon Will Compton, I do love their show. I love

1011
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: both of them.

1012
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 2: And he said that he did not get a good

1013
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: vibe from Caleb throughout the Combine process, and we actually

1014
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: have his sound here.

1015
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 8: He's obviously an extreme talent. It's incredible how talented he is.

1016
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 8: But he's got this type of like I'm better than

1017
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 8: you attitude that he's coming off as Now, if this

1018
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 8: is not the individual he is, he's more than looking

1019
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 8: to come on the bus and explain himself. But what

1020
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 8: I saw from the short sample size, I got of

1021
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 8: watching a few interviews on him on my way to

1022
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 8: the Combine. Was guy's very full of himself. He's got

1023
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 8: some big time yes people in his camp right now

1024
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 8: that are getting in his ear a little too much.

1025
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: So, Carmen, how was Caleb perceived by teams at the Combine?

1026
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 3: Give us the deats?

1027
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 4: Oh, well, yep, because I also have thoughts.

1028
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go what we.

1029
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 4: Need to understand about prospects coming out in general right now? Yeah,

1030
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 4: this is not going pro is not their first brush

1031
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 4: with the business side of this industry anymore. Oh No,

1032
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 4: these are the nilation and this is the first generation Millions.

1033
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams especially has made millions millions, an incredibly high

1034
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 4: profile portfolio of endorsement deals and so all of these things.

1035
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 4: I have absolutely zero issue with him not doing medical

1036
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 4: evaluations at the Combine, knowing that he's open to doing

1037
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 4: them for the team that he is going to visit.

1038
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 4: That's a better use of his time.

1039
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 3: The testing.

1040
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 4: The protocol for these prospects during Combine week is to

1041
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 4: literally break them. It is designed to break them. It

1042
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 4: is designed to give them such a vigorous schedule so

1043
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 4: that by the time the end of the week rolls

1044
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 4: around and they actually have to do the physical on

1045
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 4: field testing.

1046
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 3: They are exhausted mentally, physically, mentally, physically every time you're

1047
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: going to handle yourself because this is what the season

1048
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: is going to be like.

1049
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 4: Cal Williams has absolutely none of this to prove at all.

1050
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 4: And his talent is what's going to get him into

1051
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 4: the doors of the teams, the very few teams that

1052
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 4: even have a hope of getting him. Yeah, So I

1053
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 4: have absolutely zero issue with him going about this. And

1054
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 4: on top of that, he did take meetings with teams,

1055
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 4: and people that were in those meetings and people that

1056
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 4: were privy to what happened in those meetings all said

1057
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: the same thing that he was extremely impressive. And the

1058
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears put him on the whiteboard for all fifteen

1059
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 4: minutes that they had with him, and he impressed them.

1060
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 4: He impressed Ryan Poles, he impressed the coaching staff. He

1061
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 4: is a guy that does study. He has the talent, yes,

1062
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: But my biggest question about him, and something that I

1063
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 4: asked scout after GM, after personnel after coach about him,

1064
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 4: was does he study?

1065
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: Does he work hard? What is his work ethic?

1066
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 5: Like?

1067
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 4: They said, he has an incredible work effort he does.

1068
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 3: That's how you become the bad. He's extremely football smart.

1069
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he knows what he's doing, he knows what he's

1070
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 4: looking at, he knows defenses. So yes, there's still going

1071
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 4: to be an adjustment at the NFL level for him

1072
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 4: because it's the NFL level and he can't rely purely

1073
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 4: on the talent that he has been able to rely on.

1074
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 3: You have grown professional men coming at you to take.

1075
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 4: You down, exactly. But if you have the work ethic

1076
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 4: and you have the desire to be great, and he

1077
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 4: clearly does. Oh yeah, he said it at the podium.

1078
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 4: He wants to be a legend, yes, and if he

1079
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 4: has the work ethic to back that up, then I'm

1080
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 4: not worried about this guy at all. And I applaud

1081
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 4: him for going through the combine and moving as if

1082
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 4: he's already a pro, because guess what he is.

1083
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 3: He's going number one.

1084
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: He's taken heat for things I don't have a problem with,

1085
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: and I'm with you on this. His confidence in doing

1086
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: it his way is how he should be. This is

1087
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: a guy that we know is going number one overall.

1088
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: He is going to be the face of a billion

1089
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: dollar franchise, caaring what he wants. And there's nothing wrong

1090
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: with being so clear in life with what you want

1091
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 2: and where you want to be.

1092
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 3: And it's hard.

1093
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 2: Like the way the draft process works, it's not great

1094
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 2: for the best players. The best players end up with

1095
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: the struggling franchises. It's a broken, frustrating system. That's just

1096
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: the way it is right now. So how do you

1097
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: think he feels? Okay, you are the best of the best,

1098
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: most likely going to a struggling franchise.

1099
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 4: The funny part about all of this is, though, the

1100
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears have the first overall pick again.

1101
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: Not because they warrant uh huh.

1102
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 4: They traded for it and they just happened to trade

1103
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 4: with the team that had the worst record this year. Yeah,

1104
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears have the ninth overall pick. That is

1105
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 4: what they warranted. Which there is a huge difference between

1106
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 4: the first overall pick and the ninth. I know they're

1107
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 4: both top ten, but the Chicago Bears roster is a

1108
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: lot closer and a lot better than I think most

1109
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 4: people think. And this is again a roster I play

1110
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 4: very close attention to, yes.

1111
00:51:59,480 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 3: And they have.

1112
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 4: They have gone about building it. Ryan Pol's their general

1113
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 4: manager has gone about building this franchise slow in steady

1114
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 4: so that they can prepare for sustained success. They are actually,

1115
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 4: for probably the first time I've seen set up well

1116
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 4: to actually develop a quarterback right now.

1117
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they haven't had the best track record. That's problem.

1118
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 3: That's true, the last season problem twenty eighteen.

1119
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: So knowing that Caleb Williams pushed his visit to Chicago

1120
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 2: till after is USC pro Day, how and how's the

1121
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: front office, the Bear's front office feeling about this?

1122
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 3: What are they saying? I honestly thinking any no of it.

1123
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 4: That's a nothing burger, honestly, because a lot of these teams,

1124
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 4: their top thirty visits don't even start till the first

1125
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 4: week in April anyway, all right, So I don't think

1126
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 4: anything of that. I think that that just really again

1127
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 4: is a better use of Caleb Williams time. He's like,

1128
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to my pro day, yeah, and you're

1129
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: gonna see me throw, and you're gonna see me do

1130
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 4: all of these things and YadA, YadA, YadA, so that

1131
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 4: when I come into your building, we can get right

1132
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 4: down to team specific things. You don't have any more

1133
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 4: questions about me. You don't have any more questions about

1134
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 4: you know, some of the more physical things that you're

1135
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 4: going to see at my pro day. We can get

1136
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 4: that all out of the way, and that way we

1137
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 4: can spend more time on I can show you the

1138
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 4: things that I can do when it comes from a

1139
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 4: mental standpoint, and what I want for this team and

1140
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 4: what I would do if I was the quarterback of

1141
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 4: this team and all that kind of stuff. I don't

1142
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 4: have an issue with any of that, and I don't

1143
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 4: think the Chicago Bears do either. Are in complete control

1144
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 4: this board to the point where like they don't necessarily

1145
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 4: have to take Callabiams first. Overall, they could take another quarterback.

1146
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 4: They could Ta Drake May. They could take Jade and Daniels.

1147
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 4: They could if we're if the rumor mill is to

1148
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 4: be believed right now, Jane Daniels is creeping up. Which listen.

1149
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 4: I love I love Jaydan Daniels. He was an ASU

1150
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 4: guy that transferred to Winner was extraordinarily productive for LSU

1151
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 4: last year, with which had an absolutely atrocious defense. So

1152
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 4: the fact that jayde and Daniels literally single handedly willed

1153
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 4: them to a bunch of WS a lot says a lot.

1154
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 4: But that is the thing. Chicago is still in control

1155
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 4: of this this draft board. But they are also in

1156
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 4: such a unique position because they did not warrant. They

1157
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 4: are not as struggling of a franchise as you.

1158
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 3: Normally are as a traded pick.

1159
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 4: Yes, that worked out in Chicago's favor is exactly why

1160
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 4: Chicago needs to take advantage of the situation. It's what

1161
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 4: I've been saying for months. Is it not too unique

1162
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 4: of a situation to have this roster and still have

1163
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 4: all of these assets that is good, that is ready

1164
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 4: to start winning where all, and then you can insert

1165
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 4: a quarterback atie a rookie deal for four or five.

1166
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 3: Years and build around them.

1167
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 4: And build around that with all of the assets they

1168
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 4: still have. It's just they don't even have that many

1169
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 4: holes to fill anymore.

1170
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 2: I can hear it in your voice, the hope of

1171
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: the hometown team and a team that you've been.

1172
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 4: Covering, Alex, I don't know anymore when it comes to

1173
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears. This is my are my thoughts, my

1174
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 4: opinion as to what I think is best for them.

1175
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 4: I think it's what they're going to do. I absolutely

1176
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 4: do not have hope Alex my childhood. My childhood won't

1177
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 4: allow it. My childhood will not. But I do think

1178
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 4: I will say this. I cover all four teams in

1179
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 4: the NFC North. Yes I am fair and objective with

1180
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 4: all of them, but I do think that the league

1181
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 4: is a better It's the league is better when the

1182
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 4: Bears are good. The league is better when those historical

1183
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 4: traditional teams with the giant fan bases that live and

1184
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 4: die with these teams are good. So the league is better,

1185
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 4: especially when like that Bears Packers rivalry, if it's an

1186
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 4: actual rivalry. Oh, there's nothing better than when both of

1187
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 4: those teams are good.

1188
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 3: I know it's so good.

1189
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 2: Now, besides Caleb Billams, it's an extremely talented quarterback draft class.

1190
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 2: So who was the most impressive that really stood out

1191
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 2: besides Caleb Williams?

1192
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 3: Was there was there someone that kind of really stood out?

1193
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: I mean, anybody, like.

1194
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 4: These are all good quarterbacks and all and a lot

1195
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 4: of them, you know, the Nicks, Yeah, Bonix.

1196
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. I feel like they can all kind of

1197
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 2: move up just from.

1198
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 3: I want to.

1199
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 4: I don't know, I know who JJ McCarthy's team is

1200
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 4: behind the scenes, because the imashing.

1201
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: Buzz crushing the buzz crushing help that you had, Harbaugh

1202
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 2: like it could be hard like helping and listen.

1203
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 4: Jaja McCarthy probably has the like you're banking on his

1204
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 4: potential and what he can grow into because you're banking

1205
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 4: on the fact that he has the traits, he has

1206
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 4: the tools, he looks like the prototypical quarterback. He comes

1207
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 4: from a big time program.

1208
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 3: He worked with one of the best.

1209
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 4: You're banking on the fact that he can get better

1210
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 4: and continue to ascend in the league.

1211
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 3: But I mean, the.

1212
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 4: Most impressive things that we saw, I think out of

1213
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 4: quarterbacks was I mean, Michael Pennocks Junior was throwing like

1214
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 4: darts in the hallway. It wasn't even on the field,

1215
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 4: it was on the It was in the hallway, which

1216
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 4: doesn't happen as much anymore because the body has become

1217
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 4: a fan experience. Yeah, it used to be that you

1218
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 4: couldn't walk out into the Convention Center hallways without having

1219
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 4: to sidestep guys trying to like practice their forties or

1220
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 4: throwing down the hall and all that other stuff. That's

1221
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 4: kind of going away a little bit, but you still

1222
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 4: see it every.

1223
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: Now and again.

1224
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:18,919
Speaker 4: And so there was that video of Michael Pennix Junior

1225
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 4: doing that, and I was just like, man, I love

1226
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 4: that stuff.

1227
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 3: Holy but goodies, I gotta put this on my bucket list.

1228
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 3: I gotta get out to the Combine in one of

1229
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 3: these years.

1230
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 4: It's such a fun week.

1231
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: That's all I ever heard. Cynthia Freelans also like you, Oh,

1232
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 3: I saw, yeah, you gotta go.

1233
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 4: Sin and I were having a good time.

1234
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 3: She told me, I love it. All right.

1235
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a quick break here, but when we

1236
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: come back, can you trust the cowboys to do the

1237
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: right thing?

1261
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 2: time to talk about the Cowboys.

1262
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 4: It's always time today.

1263
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 2: They have a lot of important contracts coming up that

1264
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: they need to figure out, starting with Dak. Right, he

1265
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: has one more year on his contract. He's coming off.

1266
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: I want to be honest, I don't trust Cowboys anymore.

1267
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: I just last couple of seasons have just come back

1268
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: to bite me in the body. Yeah, okay, he's coming off.

1269
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 2: Dak is coming off. Yeah, there's a lot more. He's

1270
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: coming off the best season of his career. He was

1271
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: in the MVP conversation. But there's still a lot of

1272
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: questions surrounding what they should do. Should the Cowboys sign

1273
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: him to an extension. This offseason, get it done, or

1274
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: they could let it play out wait till next season

1275
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: is over, but they run the risk of him potentially

1276
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 2: testing free agency. As the Cowboys side, when you look

1277
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: at the Dak side, do you try to get as

1278
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: much money as you can or take a team friendly

1279
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: deal and structure it so they can kind of help

1280
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 2: other players out on the team get pieces that they

1281
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 2: need to put around him. But there's a lot of

1282
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: parts to this, okay, Because as great of a regular

1283
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: season player as Dak is, it all comes back to

1284
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 2: can you win a Super Bowl with Dak?

1285
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 5: Right?

1286
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: He's two and five in the postseason in eight season.

1287
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 2: He's made it to the postseason five times, but they

1288
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: haven't made a deep run to the conference championship. And

1289
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 2: when you have a team and a brand as big

1290
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 2: as the Cowboys, the biggest brand sports brand in the

1291
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: United States, how much money can you keep giving someone

1292
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 2: who hasn't brought you postseason success?

1293
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 4: What have they done to help Dak Prescott other than

1294
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 4: pay him money because they traded away Amari Cooper and

1295
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 4: had Dak Prescott starting with an undrafted free agent rookie

1296
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two. Okay, as one of his starting receivers.

1297
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 4: You signed Ezekiel Elliott to this deal that hamstrung the

1298
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 4: entire offense.

1299
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 3: He fell out, He fell off like a steep cliff.

1300
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 3: Pretty fair.

1301
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 4: You should have known to probably not pay a running

1302
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 4: back that amount of money, especially when you had another

1303
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 4: one on the roster. This was a two headed monster

1304
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 4: in the backfield that you were supposed to be able

1305
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 4: to rely on. That offensive line is not what we

1306
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 4: were used to seeing out of the Dallas Cowboys offensive

1307
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 4: line of like the late nineties and the early two thousands.

1308
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 4: That is not that line. And now you're about to

1309
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 4: let Tyron Smith walk.

1310
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean they have Dak in his final season.

1311
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith offensive lineman is a free agent this year.

1312
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 2: CD Lamb is up for an extension. He has one

1313
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 2: more year with this fifth year option in twenty twenty four,

1314
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 2: and then next offseason, Micah Parsons is up.

1315
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 4: And you want to do that probably sooner rather than later, though,

1316
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 4: better fer that out. Not trust the Cowboys do that

1317
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 4: because when history would say that, they wait till the

1318
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 4: last minute, even though they're going to cost themselves more money.

1319
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 4: But here's what I love, Okay, because I like Dak Prescott.

1320
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: I could tell immediately when you responded to what do

1321
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 2: you do with someone who hasn't had much postseason success?

1322
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: You're like, well, but have they built around him? I

1323
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: was like, I know where she's going with this. She

1324
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 2: is on Dak's side.

1325
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 4: Came on dak side. Okay, does to borrow a cowboy expression?

1326
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 4: Dak has the cowboys over a barrel because.

1327
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, tell me his HAP hit.

1328
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 4: Is fifty nine and a half million dollars next year,

1329
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 4: So you want to restructure that.

1330
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1331
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Oh, but if you restructure that, guess what that brings

1332
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 4: in some void years that then you are going to

1333
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 4: pay for whether or not Dak Prescott is on your

1334
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 4: roster in twenty twenty five when he is due to

1335
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 4: be a free agent. Also, Dak has every incentive he has.

1336
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 4: He has a no tag, no trade clause, so he

1337
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 4: has every incentive to wait this out until he gets

1338
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 4: to free agency, where he will undoubtedly be the top

1339
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 4: coveted quarterback in that class. Think about if Dak Prescott

1340
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 4: was in this free agent quarterback class, Yep, he would

1341
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 4: be by far and away, Yeah, the biggest.

1342
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 3: Now we have like eight teams.

1343
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 4: You need a quarterback, right, And that's been the case

1344
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 4: every year that we've seen in the last couple of years.

1345
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 4: Especially good quarterback play is hard to come by. Yeah,

1346
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 4: Dak has every incentive to just wait this out for

1347
01:02:59,120 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 4: another year.

1348
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 3: He was an MVP conversation this season, Yes, and he

1349
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 3: can do it again.

1350
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 4: Okay, And the thing is, I don't know what the

1351
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 4: Cowboys really do because Dak has all the power here,

1352
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 4: He has all the leverage. He does not have to

1353
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 4: sign an extension, especially if it's less than top dollar,

1354
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 4: because he knows if he waits a year and goes

1355
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 4: to free agency, some team's going to give him sixty

1356
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 4: million dollars a year. It's good because that's what quarterback

1357
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 4: contracts are going to command, especially, Yeah, good quarterback contracts.

1358
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 4: And when you look at how this Cowboys franchise has

1359
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 4: not built around him, which is why I brought this up.

1360
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 4: Why does Dak? Why why would Dak give them a

1361
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 4: team friendly deal? Why would Dak at all help the

1362
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 4: Cowboys out win again? He has all the leverage.

1363
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1364
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're also you're also you're not going to

1365
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 2: get the outside deals that you get, the sponsorships, the

1366
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: brand deals, that you have being connected to the Cowboy brand.

1367
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 4: That's what the Cowboys are going to try and sell you.

1368
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 3: But it's true.

1369
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 4: Your star power doesn't go away just the second you

1370
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 4: leave the.

1371
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 2: Star power, but there is a certain power connected with

1372
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 2: the brand.

1373
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 4: There's a power connected with being one of the thirty

1374
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 4: two starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and Dak Prescott is

1375
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 4: a really well known one and he's going to continue

1376
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 4: to play at a really high level. Not to mention

1377
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 4: whatever team he goes to, if he takes any sort

1378
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 4: of dip in sponsorship deals, he's probably gonna make up

1379
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 4: for in his contract.

1380
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have such a hard time, like.

1381
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 4: It's I don't think there's as much to that, to

1382
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 4: be quite honest. I get the Dallas Cowboys are the

1383
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 4: biggest global brand, yeah, of American football. But at the

1384
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 4: same time, you are still one of thirty two starting

1385
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 4: quarterbacks he has spent this long being part of and

1386
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 4: he's very beloved amongst Dallas Cowboy fans. He is you

1387
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 4: see how they ride for him and teammates. Yeah, so

1388
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 4: that doesn't just all go away. He's still going to

1389
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 4: get the deals and even.

1390
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Again ends up staying in Dallas.

1391
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I hope not. I want to see Dak go somewhere else.

1392
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 3: Be great. Dang hot take, hot take not for.

1393
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 4: Douct all right, Cowboys fans, it's not organization.

1394
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 2: I'd feel like we have a lot more to get

1395
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 2: on that on another day. But right now, let's check

1396
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: in with Martin Wise to see what's trending.

1397
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 7: The Denver Broncos reportedly trading wide receiver Jerry Judy to

1398
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 7: the Cleveland Browns that he changed for a fifth and

1399
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 7: sixth round pick in this year's draft. The Broncos, now,

1400
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 7: after five days, have cleared nearly fifty million dollars in

1401
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 7: cap space. Meanwhile, you know they do have Russell Wilson's

1402
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 7: eighty five million dollar dead capick coming right around the corner.

1403
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 7: Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Brandon Graham to a one

1404
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 7: year extension. Meanwhile, the Eagles have given linebacker Assan Reddick

1405
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 7: permission to facilitate a trade and have been taking trade

1406
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 7: calls on defensive end Josh Sweat. The Athletics downer Rassini

1407
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 7: is reporting that the Chargers are open to trade offers

1408
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 7: for Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack, but he may not

1409
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 7: get any because many teams are waiting to see if

1410
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 7: the veteran pass rusher will get cut.

1411
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 3: Earlier today that Kansas that Iowa State score. It was

1412
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 3: Kansas State. They upset them, sixty five to fifty eight.

1413
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 3: Did you see how many people tweeted you about that?

1414
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 3: Several did? I got you, Martin, I got you, you know,

1415
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 3: and I appreciate the collaborative effort.

1416
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 5: You know.

1417
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 7: It's a family atmosphere over here at Fox Sports Radio,

1422
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 7: thirteen minutes left in the second half.

1423
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 3: It's not close.

1424
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 7: There. Also we have Kentucky and Tennessee, two top twenty

1425
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 7: five teams. Kentucky with a forty four to thirty seven

1426
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 7: League Marquette Marquette rather with a trailing by two to

1427
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 7: Xavier right now, Xavier only fifteen and fifteen on the year.

1428
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 7: Marquette the eighth rade team in the nation. Samford, Mary Mack, Longwood, Bryant,

Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Saturday Alex Career with Carmen Vitali.

1436
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from a Tarik dot com studios

1437
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon

1438
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: with us. But any time right now to bring in

1439
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 2: our next guest Fox Sports NFL writer. Let's give it

1440
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 2: up for Greg Awman. Greg, thank you so much for

1441
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 2: joining the show.

1442
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 5: Hey, thank you guys for having me on. Appreciate it.

1443
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 3: We love it.

1444
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 5: Now.

1445
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 2: You were just in Indy with Carmen last week. We

1446
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 2: got two weeks ago at the combine. Two weeks ago

1447
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 2: for you, what was the biggest storyline coming out of

1448
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 2: the NFL Combine?

1449
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 5: You know, I think we had hoped we'd hear some

1450
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,919
Speaker 5: news in terms of you know, movement on ad Justin

1451
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 5: Fields trade or something like that. So there really wasn't that.

1452
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think to see the quarterbacks, to get

1453
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 5: to talk to the quarterbacks and get a field for

1454
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 5: them was probably important. You know, I was impressed by

1455
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 5: even some of the first two or three days talking

1456
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 5: to Jared Verst, talking to Brock Bowers. You'll see how

1457
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 5: much there's an offensive tilt at the top of this draft.

1458
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 5: There might not be an eventsive bick in the top

1459
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 5: eight of the top ten pick. So definitely validated that

1460
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 5: the idea that the quarterbacks and the receivers and the

1461
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 5: tackles are probably the elite guys at the top of

1462
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 5: this draft.

1463
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 4: I loved seeing how deep this offensive line class, especially

1464
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 4: tackles is right now. I mean it's it's top heavy,

1465
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 4: but then it goes all the way down. The other

1466
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 4: purpose of the combine Alex and I were discussing earlier

1467
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 4: in the show is just the networking, and this is

1468
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 4: where you build relationships, and this is where you get

1469
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 4: to talk to your teams and Greg, you covered the

1470
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 4: entire NFC South. Baker Mayfield is a big topic of discussion.

1471
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 3: And what were you what what.

1472
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 4: Did you come out of the combine feeling like was

1473
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 4: kind of the Bucks order of operations when it comes

1474
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 4: to Baker obviously they just signed Mike Evans to a

1475
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 4: new two year extension. What are you hearing now about

1476
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield? And is that domino going to fall quickly here?

1477
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 5: I think so. I mean in the talk in Indye,

1478
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 5: you wondered which was the alpha, which contract would yield

1479
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 5: to the others most easily, you know, and I probably

1480
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 5: would have thought it was Mayfield leading to Evans. Honestly,

1481
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 5: I haven't seemed like the more the one more likely

1482
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 5: to leave, if you will, the one. Honestly, the way

1483
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 5: things worked out probably helps them more to have Mike

1484
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 5: on board. If there was any lingering doubt in Baker

1485
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 5: Mayfield's mind about being comfortable in Tampa and this being

1486
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 5: what he had last year, I really think they've done

1487
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 5: everything they can to help allay those conterns, bringing Mike back,

1488
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 5: hiring an offensive coordinator in Liam Collen he has ties

1489
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 5: with and a relationship with that. They've kind of done

1490
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 5: what they can. Now it's just a matter of figuring

1491
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 5: out a dollar value number that'll make them happy. But

1492
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 5: I think they set themselves up. I mean this offseason,

1493
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 5: you wondered if they could keep kind of the big four,

1494
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 5: if you will, in Mayfield and Winfield in Mike Evans

1495
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 5: and LATA data, and I think they're in position to

1496
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 5: do that.

1497
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was kind of my other thing then, was

1498
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 4: to say they've done all of this work that would

1499
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 4: suggest that Mayfield is their guy, and with Liam, with

1500
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 4: the Liam Cohen hiring, and with making sure that Mike

1501
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 4: Evans got that new contract, because Baker, even though he

1502
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 4: only had a year with him, was very vocal about

1503
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 4: wanting Mike back on this team and having that one

1504
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 4: two punch that is him and Chris Godwin. Still, So

1505
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 4: what do you think then is going to be the

1506
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, like, did they kind of check all

1507
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 4: the boxes for Baker in Tampa or is there something

1508
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 4: that he could seek elsewhere or that something that he

1509
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 4: could get elsewhere that he can't get in Tampa at

1510
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: this point, after Tampa has done so much work to

1511
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 4: make Tampa kind of Baker's home.

1512
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 5: I think it's easy. I think it's just don't fumble this,

1513
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 5: you know. I mean they have the one thing. You

1514
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 5: think about what Baker went through in twenty two to

1515
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 5: be with three teams, to have just kind of the

1516
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 5: career drop off that he had, and then to be

1517
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 5: able to reset himself in Tampa and find a city

1518
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 5: that he likes to call home, in a team that

1519
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 5: embraced him as a leader, an offense that got him

1520
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 5: to career highs and touchdowns and yards. Even if he

1521
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 5: got more money somewhere else, all he's doing by leaving

1522
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 5: to go to another team is rolling the dice and

1523
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 5: wondering is it going to be like Tampa or is

1524
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 5: it going to be like these brief days he had

1525
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 5: in Carolina or the Rams. He didn't really have that

1526
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 5: much control over the second time. But I just think

1527
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 5: there's a familiarity and a comfort here that no other

1528
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 5: team can offer him. And I think all the Bucks

1529
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 5: now have to do is kind of figure out that

1530
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 5: number that lets him feel valued and respected but still

1531
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 5: allows them to build a division winner around him.

1532
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,560
Speaker 2: Now, Baker is I would say, top two quarterback on

1533
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 2: the market right now. How close are they to that

1534
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 2: same number? The Bucks and Baker of where they want

1535
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:42,600
Speaker 2: to be?

1536
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 5: I mean, you'll hear different things in talking to people

1537
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 5: on both sides. I don't think they're far off. It'll

1538
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 5: surprise me if Monday at noon gets here and they

1539
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 5: haven't been able to figure something out.

1540
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 3: I mean Yeah, we're close, So I.

1541
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 5: Don't think they're far off, just because I think that

1542
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 5: they want each other, they want to work this out.

1543
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 5: There's not a there's not an obvious like ooh, that

1544
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 5: would be tempting. The other teams can write a big check,

1545
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 5: and I think there's definitely other teams that would maybe

1546
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 5: pay more. It's kind of like whichever of Atlanta or

1547
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 5: Minnesota doesn't get Kirk Cousins in this Okay, Okay, they're

1548
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 5: going to be They're going to be kind of wondering

1549
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 5: how much of a drop off there is if they

1550
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 5: don't go after Mayfield. So there's the chance that one

1551
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 5: of those two has already relayed a number to him.

1552
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 5: That'll make it tempting. But like I said, I don't

1553
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,879
Speaker 5: think he's going to know those coaches in Atlanta. He's

1554
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 5: had a little bit of time with Raem Moore, so

1555
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 5: wouldn't be a completely blind situation. But yeah, no, the teammates,

1556
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 5: there's no the city. It's just you're you're kind of

1557
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 5: taking a blind date when when you have something pretty

1558
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 5: good you could come back to. So they just have

1559
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 5: to make sure that the money isn't an obstacle. And

1560
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 5: I think they'll be able to do that.

1561
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 2: So the other top quarterback available Kirk Cousins, on the

1562
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 2: free agent market right now. There have been rumors of

1563
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 2: him to the Falcons. What are you expecting him to

1564
01:12:57,960 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 2: end up back in Minnesota or end up at a

1565
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 2: place like Atlanta.

1566
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what Minnesota's commitment level is to him,

1567
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 5: but I know why Atlanta would swing for it, you know,

1568
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 5: to see to see the Falcons last year and kind

1569
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 5: of their summer of inaction, not going after a big

1570
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 5: free agent, not pursuing Lamar Jackson in trade, not moving

1571
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 5: up in the draft, and just letting it ride with

1572
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 5: des Ritter. That didn't work, you know, and that's why

1573
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith has gone That's why they were seven and ten.

1574
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 5: So now to think that the same GM and to

1575
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 5: think that remorse could make the same mistake two summers

1576
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 5: in a row would really surprise me. So, whether that's

1577
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 5: writing a huge check to get Kirk Cousins, whether that's

1578
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 5: making a trade to get justin fields where you have

1579
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 5: to lose a little bit in draft capital but you

1580
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 5: don't have to pay nearly as much for a starting quarterback,

1581
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 5: or whether that's moving up from eight. I mean that's

1582
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 5: one of those where if you're sitting at eight, there

1583
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 5: might be four quarterbacks off the board right now. So

1584
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 5: standing pat, that's not a good number to stand pat at.

1585
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 5: If you're really looking to get a rookie quarterback, moving

1586
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 5: up from eight to three again would cost you this

1587
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 5: year's two and next year's one. But I do think

1588
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 5: it's one of those things where if all they do

1589
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 5: is take what comes to them, they're asking for disappointment again.

1590
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I've heard a lot of chatter. We talked

1591
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 4: about this a lot where it really does seem like

1592
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 4: Atlanta might just be a quarterback away.

1593
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, right. I mean the defense was there. They've changed coordinators,

1594
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 5: but I think the defense showed enough, the offensive talent

1595
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,680
Speaker 5: showed enough. That offensive line they've spent a lot to

1596
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 5: keep together. There were definitely games last year where if

1597
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 5: they just don't make mistakes of the quarterback pocsions, they

1598
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 5: win and instead of seven and ten, they are right

1599
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 5: there in the stake of the NFC South and maybe

1600
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 5: a playoff team. So it feels a little bit like

1601
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 5: New Orleans and that I think everybody get excited because

1602
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 5: Derek Carr came on, and I think kirk Cousins would

1603
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 5: have a similar impact in lending a credibility to the team.

1604
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if it'll be the same result or

1605
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 5: more than the nine wins that New Orleans got, but

1606
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 5: you have somebody who's been prolific in the league for

1607
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 5: a decade, hasn't necessarily had postseason success. But if you

1608
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 5: this falcon right now, you just want to get to

1609
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 5: the postseason. If you get to the playoffs, you lose

1610
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 5: in the first round, that that resets the clock. It's

1611
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 5: been too many years since you did that. So I

1612
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 5: think that's the bare minimums. You want to get back

1613
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 5: to the playoffs. And if kirk Cousins does that for you,

1614
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 5: that's a win.

1615
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 2: And when you look at the NFC South, I mean,

1616
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 2: it's not that far away. I've heard there were two

1617
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 2: lins away from being the same record as the Saints

1618
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 2: and the Bucks, and the Bucks ended up going on.

1619
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 3: So it's it's doable. Greg.

1620
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: We appreciate you so much for joining us. Thank you

1621

01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 2: great weekend.

Speaker 5: Thanks Grevy, thanks for having me.

1624
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 2: Of course, all right, we're gonna take one more break here,

1625
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 2: but when we come back Karen.

1636
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 2: high note here, Yeah, I feel good. Moment of the

1637
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 2: week like bittersweet, and that is Jason Kelsey retiring from

1638
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 2: playing in the NFL. We all know he's still going

1639
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,919
Speaker 2: to be talking about it with his podcast. But thirteen

1640
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 2: years in the league, super Bowl champion, six time All

1641
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 2: Pro center, the only the fifth center to have six

1642
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 2: All Pro selections, by the way, all the other four

1643
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. So there's that that will

1644
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:36,600
Speaker 2: be happening. But I love everything about this man. Know

1645
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 2: his speeches are always legendary. He took extended cry breaks

1646
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: in his speech. I love a man who's in touch

1647
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 2: with his emotions.

1648
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 3: Okay, wonderful like we love it. We are human. This

1649
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 3: is amazing.

1650
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 2: Also Travis' brother crying in the front row during his speech.

1651
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 2: But I think my favorite was his tribute to his

1652
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 2: wife Kylie. This was beautiful because she is after I

1653
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: watched the Kelsey documentary, I followed her and like, she

1654
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 2: followed me.

1655
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 3: Back and immediately started dming.

1656
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 2: I was like, I think you are so cool, You're

1657
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 2: so awesome. I fangirl on so many women like that.

1658
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 2: I'm like a big girls girl. I love it so much.

1659
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 2: But I want to share this sound by with you

1660
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 2: guys if you missed it, because this is what real

1661
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 2: partnership looks like. You make each other better. And let

1662
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 2: me tell you, I'm seventeen years into mine.

1663
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 3: It works. Let's play this out.

1664
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 9: I won't forget the Eagles Christmas party in twenty fourteen

1665
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 9: and heading out afterwards with a bunch of my teammates

1666
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 9: to Buffalo Billiards, or my life would change forever.

1667
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 10: That night I'd meet my future wife. I still remember

1668
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 10: the moment she walked through the door. The first instance

1669
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 10: is burned in my retina. It was like she glided

1670
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 10: through the opening an aura around her. Then she started talking,

1671
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 10: and I thought, Man, is this what love feels like?

1672
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 10: She was beautiful and smart, serious yet playful. I knew

1673
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 10: it right away. I think it's no coincidence. I have

1674
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 10: enjoyed my best years of my career with Kylie by

1675
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 10: my side. Every accolade I have ever received has come

1676
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 10: with her in my life. She has brought the best

1677
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 10: out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and

1678
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 10: of course the swift kick in the ass from time

1679
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 10: to time. She has also given me three beautiful girls

1680
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 10: and a life that increasingly brings me more fulfillment off

1681
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 10: the field than it does on. We've had a great.

1682
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 8: Run, Kai.

1683
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 3: Like that is what it's all about.

1684
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 4: Voice like Disney movies from now on too.

1685
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he has three daughters, so he's going to

1686
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 2: start crying even more now. I remember my dad has

1687
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: I'm the oldest of four girls. My dad started crying

1688
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 2: and everything. Oh yeah, we were all right.

1689
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 3: He's going to keep crying, teenagers do. It's like it's

1690
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 3: gonna happen.

1691
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 4: What's so funny about this story, in particular, is that

1692
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 4: I have known this story for years now because a

1693
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 4: good friend of mine, Bo Allen, who played with Jason

1694
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia and then came to Tampa, where I met

1695
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 4: him He tells me this story about Jason Kelsey because

1696
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,320
Speaker 4: Jason Kelsey has been a favorite player of mine for

1697
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 4: a long time. Because my dad's from Philly, I have

1698
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 4: a soft spot for get Eagles fans, which probably makes

1699
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 4: sense with my Cowboys takes and all that other stuff.

1700
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 4: Bo tells me this story about how he was there

1701
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 4: the night that Jason met his wife Kylie, because they

1702
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 4: were at the Eagles Christmas party.

1703
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 3: They got trashed at the Eagles Christmas He talked about it.

1704
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 4: And then they go to this bar and Bo was like,
