22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: tours in Mark. I can't say a new day for

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio because this opened on Wednesday for Doug Gottlieb,

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: but a new day for tourism or do I sound different?

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: Do I sound more sophisticated anything like that?

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: It does sound a little cleaner.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: Wow, thank you.

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: So there's a thing. Not that you were dirty, but

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: I just.

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 2: Got a little more professional when I walked in the studios.

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, no more riff raft from Torres tonight.

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: Gotta get my a game on here.

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, you know, eventually I might actually get

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: out to Los Angeles. I never saw the old studios

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: in person because I've been remote pretty much my entire

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: career living in Nashville. So I'm glad there's the new digs.

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad everybody is enjoying them and right smacking it,

38
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, you guys open up. And then the next

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: day is the NFL Draft, and now here we are

40
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: Round two of the NBA playoffs. MLB is off and rolling.

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: You got what a thousand points or a thousand runs?

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: Right now in Mexico City, from teams that have struggled

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: to score pretty much anywhere in the United States. So

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: good for them to get out of the country and

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: start scoring runs. But there is a whole lot to

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: get to today. When you were when you sent sent

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: the message about what we were gonna get into, it

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 3: was just kind of like, oh, well, I think we're

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: just gonna have to pick and choose. I knew exactly

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: what we would talk about, but there's gonna be some

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 3: things we just flat out can't get to because four

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: hours is not enough.

53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: No, I totally agree. And yeah, a crazy week in sports.

54
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean obviously on top of you know, not none

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft, but not only the NBA playoffs.

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: We had Aaron Rodgers, we'll talk about Lamar Jackson, which

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: we'll talk about, Jason. I do want to start right

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: now with the game in progress in the NBA. Steve

59
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: de Seger just told us Denver game one, only one

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: NBA game today. Most series are into round two at

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: this point, and the opener in Round two Denver up

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: eighty three to seventy one, about five and a half

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: minutes left in the third quarter against Phoenix, Jason, I

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: want to start with this, and it's game one, and

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Game one isn't even complete, so by the end of

66
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: game one we could sound stupid.

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: Phoenix could obviously come back and win this no problem.

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: But I'll say this is that that coming into this series,

69
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: and I don't even think this is a hot take.

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: I think this is actually the way that most people

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 2: have deemed this series, and people that I've seen a

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: lot of talk with this is that, you know, I

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: think Phoenix was a lot of people's favorites to come

74
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: out of at the very least the West, maybe win

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: the championship with the addition to Kevin Durant, but this

76
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: was a team that very much struggled just to get

77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: by the Paul George Liss Los Angeles Clippers and the

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard List Clippers. After Game three of that series,

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: they did win five, but they won Game three by

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: just four points. They won Game five by just six points.

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: I guess what I would ask is, I know it's

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: game one, and by the way, Denver is a Denver's favored,

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: so this is not a surprise according to the betting

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: markets and all that. But I just bring it up

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: to say I do think my opinion on the Phoenix Suns. Actually,

86
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's changed because I was a

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: little hesitant when the trade was made. But it feels

88
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: like a lot of people's opinions have changed. With the

89
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Suns struggled against the Clippers that were all banged up.

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: They're trailing here early, and I'll just tell you those

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: three stars, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Devin Book are

92
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: playing a ton of minutes. And so that is a

93
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: very long winded wave of me saying I'm a little

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: more worried about the Suns that I thought I would be,

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: certainly this early in the playoff chase.

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: Well, they're a little bit older now. The one thing

97
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: that the Sun sacrificed was defense when they made this move.

98
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: But they also don't have a lot of depth. That's

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a problem for them playing in Denver, in

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: particular because of Denver's altitude. The altitude a lot of

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: times Denver has and I mean even when they're a

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: mediocre team still has among the best home records in

103
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: the league year after year after year, and the reason

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: why is because of the altitude. Guys come in there,

105
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: you can come in and play baseball in Colorado and

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: it's a little bit different. But the way you have

107
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: to run up and down the floor and the speed

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: of the NBA game, these guys get gassed and they

109
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: have to get used to it. And then you have

110
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: a team again that doesn't have a lot of depth,

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: that plays pretty exclusively on one side of the floor

112
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: for the most part. And then you got a Denver

113
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: team that has everything to play for because they're trying

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: to play for relevancy here because they've been near the

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: top of the conference for years, but no one sees

116
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: them the way they generally see elites in various conferences.

117
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: So this is a much different challenge with everybody healthy

118
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: for Denver, where that certainly was not the case with

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: the Clippers. I would just say this and we'll see

120
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: what happens in the fourth quarter of this game. Is

121
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: that there's still plenty of time left and plenty of

122
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: firepower in Phoenix to put forth a run and make

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: this thing interesting.

124
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: But this just has the feel of.

125
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: A it's gonna be hard to win on their home

126
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: floor kind of feel. And I mean, Denver going to

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: f Pox is not going to be easy. It's always

128
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: hard to win. But this feels like one of those

129
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: that could go seven where not a single road team

130
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: wins in the series, because I think both teams are

131
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: liable to play much better at home than on the road, because,

132
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: as we always say, your role players, your tertiary contributors,

133
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: your secondary guys. Those are the dudes that show up

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: at home where they're more comfortable, and then you get

135
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: on the road in these games and that's when it's

136
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: all stars all the time. And that I think is

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: that's going to be difficult for either one of these teams.

138
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think that the lack of depth hurts them.

139
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: And that's one thing I'll say is I'm not taking

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: any like incredible victory lap on this. But when it

141
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: was clear that Kevin Durant did want out of Brooklyn

142
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: and it was clear what the asking price was going

143
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: to be, it was pretty much everybody not named Chris

144
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Paul and Devin Booker that was worth you know of note,

145
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: I remember, like, I don't know if we talked about

146
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: it on this show or if I was a guest somewhere.

147
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: What I do remember talking about it though, and I said, like,

148
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: I guess you have to tray I guess you have

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: to try for Kevin Durant if you can, but you're

150
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: giving up an awful lot to get him. And I'm

151
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: not saying that mckel bridges is better than than Kevin

152
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: Durant or Cam Johnson is better than Kevin Durant. But

153
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: when the Suns made that Finals run two years ago,

154
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: in that weird hybrid season that started late because of

155
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: COVID post bubble and there were limited fans in certain arenas,

156
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: mckel Bridges played a very big role in that series

157
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: and Cam Johnson played a very big role in that series.

158
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: And certainly I'm not saying they're the only reason that

159
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: they went, but it was a big part of why

160
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: they went. And so I just bring it up because

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: I was always worried, like, like, Kevin Durant now is

162
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: thirty four this year, I believe this calendar year, Chris

163
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: Paul is obviously thirty seven to thirty eight whatever he is,

164
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: And like, I get why when you have the opportunity

165
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: to trade for Kevin Durant, especially oh, by the way,

166
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: when you are a new owner trying to set a

167
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: tone for how the organization is gonna be run. I

168
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: totally get it. But at the same time, I also

169
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: would just sit there and say, you know, it wore

170
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: me then and now seeing in real time how much

171
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: those guys had to play, even just in round one, like, yeah,

172
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: that one did scare that one that did concern me.

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: And obviously it hasn't gotten any better, uh since everything,

174
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: you know, since since the playoffs actually started.

175
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: I would think you would agree with this as well.

176
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: I think that we all recognize this as this is

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: the Rams getting Matthew Stafford and bringing in von Miller.

178
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: This is not the Eagles going out and grabbing aj Brown.

179
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: This is or even Miami going for Tyreek Hill. This

180
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: is an older team with a win now mentality. It's

181
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: like we got to bring in Durant, but they realize

182
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: when they bring in kd this has got to happen

183
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: within the next one or two years. We're leveraging younger guys,

184
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: We're leveraging some of our depths, We're levering leveraging some

185
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: of our defense as well. We got to make this

186
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: happen this year, maybe next year. And that's about it.

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: And and look, because it's Chris Paul, you always have

188
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 3: to worry about the injuries. But Honestly, I'm not I'm

189
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: gonna knock Chris Paul's injury history right now, because everybody

190
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: in the NBA is getting hurt throughout this postseason. It

191
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you're thirty eight or eighteen, So I'm

192
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: not gonna knock it. It's just he has the history

193
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: of it. Durant's got the history of it. Booker's been

194
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: digged up here and there over the last few years

195
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: as well. If they're able to stay healthy, those three

196
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: guys can play big minutes because when you get into

197
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: the playoffs, your bench does shorten increasingly as you go

198
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: into it, your stars have to play more minutes. But

199
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: this is a dangerously thin basketball team. If one of

200
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: those guys goes down, I mean, I just don't see

201
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: a pathway for them to get past Denver.

202
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: Don't disagree. Eighty six seventy one with three point forty

203
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: left in the third quarter. Will keep you updated on

204
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: that also, Jason, we don't talk much hockey on this show,

205
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: but we did just have a notable final in the

206
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Toronto Maple Leafs,

207
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: in overtime have been in the Tampa Bay Lightning two

208
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: to one. Why this is noteworthy, Jason, This sounds like

209
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: it can't possibly be true, but it is. This is

210
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: the first time since two thousand and four, nineteen years

211
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: that the Toronto Maple Leafs not advanced to the Stanley

212
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: Cup finals, not the East to get to the second round. Essentially,

213
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: they're like the New York Knicks, or the Knicks if

214
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: then but the next one in twenty thirteen. Like it

215
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: was funny. I was with my mom this weekend when

216
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: the Knicks advanced, and you know, she's not a huge

217
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: NBA person. I said, you know, this is a second

218
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: time since two thousand, this is the first time since

219
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: two thoy thirteen that the Knicks just got to the

220
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: second round.

221
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: She was kind of blown away.

222
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: So for the for the hot you know, for the

223
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: puckheads out there that are listening, I know, you know,

224
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: but as a non puckhead, I'll readily admit it. Oh four,

225
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: first time since oh four for the Toronto Maple Leafs

226
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: to make the second round. Jason, I know you probably

227
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: don't have any crazy insight on maple Leafs history or

228
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: anything like that, but it's a very notable final score

229
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: in the Stanley Cup.

230
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: Playoffs. Well, I can tell you this. Those fans are

231
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: some of the best fans in all sports, and they

232
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: have just been there through such lean years. It's been

233
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: so difficult for them. They've wanted this for solo. I mean,

234
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: the Raptors have won an NBA championship wow in the

235
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: last few years, and I will bet you this means more.

236
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: This one series right now tonight, the celebration, it's going

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: to be bigger than it was when the Raptors one.

238
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: And they support the Raptors and love the Raptors. The

239
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: Maple Leafs is a completely different ballgame, a completely different universe.

240
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: I look forward to seeing some shots, maybe some video

241
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: of Toronto. It'll probably be, you know, relatively classy for

242
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. But these guys, there are grown

243
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: men shedding tears in front of wives and children right

244
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: now because they weren't sure they were ever going to

245
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: see the Maple Leafs win another playoff series in their lifetime.

246

Speaker 2: wait for Will Levis on Thursday Night, Jason, But it

255
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,360

Speaker 4: Slash match.

281
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: For the break, we were talking a little bit about

282
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs, actually a little bit about the NHL

283
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs as well, but obviously the story of

284
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: the week in sports was the NFL Draft and really

285
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: everything around the NFL, if you will, with the Aaron

286
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: Rodgers news.

287
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: With the Lamar Jackson news and all.

288
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: That, Jason, I want to talk a little bit about

289
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: the draft, and even though will Levis was obviously taken

290
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: as the second pick of the first round or the

291
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: second pick of the second round, excuse me, I do

292
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: still think that the biggest story from the draft, probably overall,

293
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: is Levis's fall out of the first round, and I

294
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 2: want to you live in Tennessee. I want to talk

295
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: to you about it in a minute. The Titans fit.

296
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: But before we do, do you have any hot takes

297
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: or strong opinions as to why that fall happened. I

298
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: have a few, but curious to hear what you have

299
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: to say.

300
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: I just think it was a lie from the get go,

301
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: or I think that's more likely. I think this is

302
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: what we need to start doing every fall. We need

303
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: to start predicting the quarterback that's going to be talked

304
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: up into the stratosphere and then not come anywhere near

305
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: that when it's actually time to pull the trigger and

306
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: draft them. And sometimes it's somebody that gets all the

307
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: hype and then does get drafted and you find out, Yeah,

308
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: we were right to be skeptical of this, that being

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: like a Zach Wilson type a couple of years ago.

310
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: You're always gonna have the Trevor Lawrence, you're gonna have

311
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: the Price Show, You're gonna have the guy. Now last

312
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: year you kind of didn't. But Pikett was the one

313
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: that made the most sense when you looked at it.

314
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: But there was talk in the weeks leading up to

315
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: the draft that Malik Willis was going to be a

316
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: top five pick, a top ten pick. Well, that didn't

317
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: end up happening, did it. And I think that we're

318
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: going to continue to see that. A lot of teams smokescreen.

319
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: A lot of teams want to see what they can

320
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: make others do. They want to see what happens when

321
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: certain news gets out. I mean, the betting odds shifted

322
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: the day before the draft of where Levis was. People

323
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: were putting money on him to be the number one

324
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: overall pick, and the Titans end up moving up eight

325
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: spots and giving up a lot actually to go up

326
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: into the second round of the second pick and take

327
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: will Levis because he was still seeing there after night one.

328
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: It turned out he had a bigger free fall than

329
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: a lot of guys because of where he was hyped

330
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: to go. So to me, it was just I don't

331
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: think he was ever that high on anybody's draft boards.

332
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: He was high on a bunch of experts draft boards.

333
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: And I mean the Makeshay's, the Kuiper's, those folks of

334
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: the world. But those are not the ones that are

335
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: running decision rooms and handing out multi million dollar contracts

336
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: to rookies. And that to me is what explains it.

337
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: Well, there was one expert that did feel like maybe

338
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: the Will Levis hype was a little bit too much. Alex,

339
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: do you have any soundback there that might be noteworthy

340
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: to play right now? So my NFL Draft hot take,

341
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: Jason Martin very quickly is this. I think either Will

342
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: Levis or Anthony Richardson falls out of the top ten. Okay,

343
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: I can't really take that much credit back. I know, Rob,

344
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: thank you. Rob Parker listening, he says he never listens

345
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: to what a lot I bring it up. We did

346
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: talk about this last week. I did take a little

347
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: mini victory lap. I will honestly admit I did not

348
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: think he was gonna fall out the first round. But

349
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: why I bring it up is because I am with

350
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: you from the perspective that first of all, I obviously

351
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: I thought one of the two was going to fall out.

352
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: And the reason why simple we talked about it last week.

353
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: Every single year, there's always one guy that gets so

354
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: much hype and nobody really sees and nobody really understands,

355
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 2: and every year that guy falls. And you know, sometimes

356
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: guys get hyping and they still fall, you know, Gino

357
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: Smith was projected to potentially go number one overall, just

358
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: like will Levis, and fell to the second round. Last year,

359
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: Malik Willis, who you know too well, was projected maybe

360
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: by some as a first round pick. He falls to

361
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: the third round. Desmond Ritter falls later in the draft.

362
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: So this happens every year. I will say this though, Jason,

363
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: I actually tend to agree with you that I do

364
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: wonder if this was all over hyped from the beginning.

365
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. I was watching the draft and

366
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: I saw that that Jimmy Sexton, who is the famed

367
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: college football agent, is actually Will Levis's agent, and he

368
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: was sitting at the table with him and Mark Stoopson whatever.

369
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: And for people don't know who Jimmy Sexton is, he

370
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: is basically the agent of Nick Saban and Kirby Smart

371
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: and most every notable college football coach in America, Jimbo Fisher.

372
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: Or this is Scott Boris of college.

373
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: Yes, Lane Kiffin.

374
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 2: So when you hear these crazy oh you know, Nick Saban,

375
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: wife might be shopping for real estate in Austin.

376
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: Oh.

377
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher, he's at the top of the list at LSU. Oh,

378
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin, He's definitely going to albert Now, obviously some

379
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: of those rumors have weight, some of them in coming true.

380
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: But the ones I just gave you are these ones

381
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: that sound too crazy to be true.

382
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: They end up being that way.

383
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: And this guy, I believe, at the college sports level,

384
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: manipulates the media better than anybody. And so I can't

385
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: sit here and say that he started this incredible, you know,

386
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: leak campaign about Will Levis and when it started, how

387
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: long ago it started. But Jason, I was sitting there

388
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 2: last Sunday and we had talked about Levis, and you know,

389
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: the Colts love him at four. All the Texans love

390
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: him at two. As you said, Jason, Oh, come Monday

391
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: or come on Tuesday Wednesday. There's a Reddit message board

392
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: that says, oh, he just might go number one. Overall,

393
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: I just bring up to say I'm with you, and

394
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: I actually I'll say this, and maybe maybe I shouldn't.

395
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: I do actually feel a little bit bad for Will

396
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: Levis because I don't I believe it is harder farts.

397
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: If he didn't think he was going to the first round,

398
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't show up in Kansas City on Thursday. He

399
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: said as much at a press conference during the draft process.

400
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: But I feel bad because if he had been properly evaluated,

401
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: if he had been evaluated the way you and me

402
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: and most people who actually watched him play, then I

403
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: think it would have been a fair Hey, he's probably

404
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: a second and third rounder. He's got all the tools.

405
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: He makes some incredible throws, he makes some incredibly dumb decisions.

406
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: That sounds like a second round pick to be a

407
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: guy with crazy high upside. But also you're a little

408
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: bit concerned about taking him too early. So I'm rambling,

409
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm going on and on. I'm just sitting here to

410
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: say I do, in away feel bad for him because

411
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: I thought the machine maybe treated him in a way

412
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 2: that they shouldn't. I should ask you really quick, by

413
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: the way, Jason, you live in Tennessee. You live in Nashville.

414
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: It did not seem as though the reaction to drafting

415
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: will levis in Nashville. By admittedly there's a lot of

416
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee Valls fans who watched him at their rival school Kentucky,

417
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: it did not seem as though the majority of Tennessee

418
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: Titans fans that I I saw we're all that excited

419
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: with him as a potential a potential future at their

420
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: quarterback spot.

421
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: Well, I want to say this first and then we

422
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: can address that. Good for Will Levis. Congratulations to him

423
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: for being drafted. Like what you said, I think is

424
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: very important as it relates to this process not really

425
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: doing him any favors and putting him in position to

426
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: be the guy that takes the fall, that's in a

427
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: nice suit, sitting in the green room all night long,

428
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 3: and every time you saw him, he actually looked better

429
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: than a lot of them have in those spots that

430
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: had to be difficult for him. And clearly he's good.

431
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he made an NFL roster or he's been drafted,

432
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: and he was drafted early. I just everything that you

433
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: see about Levis. And of course we watch a ton

434
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: of SEC football, and because of our time slot and

435
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: where we're on, we're kind of the reaction showed to

436
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: college football every Saturday night during the fall, and we

437
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: love having that role. Will Levis flat out didn't impress us,

438
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: basically at all, and we didn't understand why he was

439
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: being hyped the way he was. I've got mel Kiper's

440
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: deal up right now. He says, why do I believe

441
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: in Levis's ability? Because he can do everything at a

442
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: high level, even if he was reckless at times last season.

443
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: He's tough, has a stellar arm, is accurate when he

444
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: has time to throw, and can escape the pocket and

445
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: pick up first downs with his legs. With NFL level

446
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: talent around him, he's going to be even better. And

447
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: from ESPN Stats and NFL, Levis is the first quarterback

448
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: selected number thirty three overall since Brett Farp. Thanks for that,

449
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: appreciate you appreciate that. But then he also says, this

450
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 3: Tennessee has veteran Ryan Tannehill, but he's owed no guaranteed

451
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: money in twenty twenty three. He could be released before

452
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: the season. Levis has a chance to come in and

453
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: compete and try to win the job. Really he does.

454
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: He's gonna come in and unseat a guy that's been

455
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: pretty good, who he could sit behind for a year.

456
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: You're talking about a guy in and Will Levis who

457
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 3: last year threw nineteen touchdowns and ten interceptions in an

458
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: entire season. Yes, he had a sixty five percent completion percentage,

459
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: but he threw double digit picks for the second year

460
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: in a row. He threw thirteen the year before. So

461
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: he's a gunslinger type. He's a guy. What one of

462
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: the knocks was he was too like ripped, he was

463
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: too shredded. That that's not what you want out of

464
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: a quarterback. And so there's a lot of things there,

465
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: but more than anything else you talk about, he was

466
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: reckless at times. What have we talked about? His consistency

467
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: was never there. That's a thing that you've got to

468
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: be in the National Football League at that position, they've

469
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 3: got to be able to feel like at least ninety

470
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the time when you're under center

471
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: or you're taking a snap, they kind of know what

472
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: to expect from your play. And it can't all be

473
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: And I know this is what we discussed. It's not

474
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: just that Kentucky has the worst talent in America. They

475
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's kind of what you're saying. If

476
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 3: this was good enough to be talked about like he

477
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: should have been a top five pick and number one pick,

478
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: all of these things, then Kentucky had to have had

479
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: the worst football team in the history of all sports

480
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: because Levis couldn't do anything with those guys. If he

481
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: was anywhere near as good as we were told he was,

482
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: then that would have to be the indicator. And I

483
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: just don't think that those two things ever washed. And

484
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: I think that most NFL teams revealed here, hey, he's

485
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: pretty good, but he's not elite like that. We're gonna

486
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: wait until day two. Keep in mind, Tennessee had the

487
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 3: eleventh pick and they took an offensive lineman out of Northwestern.

488
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that, but they needed a quarterback and

489
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: they won unseat Ryan Tannehill, but they didn't take him,

490
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: and they didn't trade back up into the first round

491
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 3: to take him. They took the risk that he was

492
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: not gonna be there. So how much did they really

493
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: believe in will Levis? We all know the guy they

494
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 3: wanted to go up and get if they could get

495
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: Arizona's number three overall pick, and that was CJ. Stroud

496
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 3: and the Houston Texans made that not an issue.

497
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: He had less thought on Levis. And then we'll get

498
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: to the saga here in a minute. Is that this

499
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: concept of him not having talent, Well, I was thinking

500
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 2: about this. If your argument is he didn't have talent,

501
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: well guess where you're gonna go. If you are as

502
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: good as you know the draft experts are saying you

503
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: are probably to a team without very much talent. If

504
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: you're getting Price young, the talent he is going to

505
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: have relative to the competition next year Carolina is pretty

506
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: bad compared to the talent that most quarterbacks are gonna have. CJ.

507
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: Stroud very much the same. Anthony Richardson. He's got a

508
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: little bit more talent, but like this is like if

509
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: you're a franchise quarterback, you're supposed to be able to

510
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: overcome it. So we can, you know, continue the Levis conversation.

511
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: I do want to get to Anthony Richardson, who was

512
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: the guy at number four. Will discuss all that next.

513
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: But for the first time in the new studio, I'm

514
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: gonna toss it over the news desk to Sager, who

515
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: is in my sight line. This is great, what's up

516
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: to Sager? Good evening, gentlemen.

517
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 6: And I am so glad hey that you brought up

518
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: the Toronto Maple Leafs because the last time they won

519
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 6: a playoff series in the NHL, the Boston Red Sox

520
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 6: still had not won a World Series in our lifetime

521
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 6: been nearly twenty years ago. They won a first round

522
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 6: Game seven against Ottawa in two thousand and four, missed

523
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 6: the playoffs entirely for most of the next decade plus now,

524
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 6: in the last six years, Toronto had made the playoffs

525
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 6: and lost first round every time, including four game seven

526
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 6: losses in the last five years. They win a first

527
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 6: round tonight, taking Game six at Tampa Bay in overtime

528
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 6: two to one. Meanwhile, it looks like we will be

529
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 6: having a Game seven, as the New York Rangers are

530
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 6: staying alive, leading five to one over the Devils five

531
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 6: and a half minutes to go. A Game seven would

532
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: be in New Jersey on Monday, and it's underway in La.

533
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 6: The Kings are tied one to one mid first period

534
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: against Edmonton. Oilers lead that first round series three games

535
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 6: to two. By the way, Boston, the best team in

536
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: hockey this year, hosts the first round Game seven tomorrow

537
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 6: against Florida, and that winner will face Toronto next. Colorado

538
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 6: hosts a Game seven tomorrow against Seattle. Speaking of Colorado,

539
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 6: you're aware that cors Field hosts games with maybe a

540
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 6: homer or two. Elevation over five thousand feet. Major League

541
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 6: Baseball is playing this weekend in Mexico City elevation over

542
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 6: seven thousand feet. Padres Giants today and in a game

543
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: tomorrow as well tonight. A total of eleven home runs

544
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 6: in this one San Diego sixteen to eleven. The final

545
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 6: in Mexico City, Nelson Cruz of the Padres upped his

546
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 6: batting average over fifty points in one night, five for

547
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 6: six four RBIs. I'm guessing he will be starting tomorrow,

548
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 6: but at age forty two, he's the second oldest player

549
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 6: since nineteen hundred with a five hit game, younger only

550
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 6: only than Pete Rose himself, who in nineteen eighty six,

551
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 6: at the age of forty five, had a five hit game,

552
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 6: also against the Giants. According to the great recis searcher

553
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 6: Sarah Langs. As for the two games in progress that

554
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 6: includes a ball game at Dodger Stadium that's on FS one,

555
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw is mowing down the Cardinals one nothing on

556
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 6: a one hitter in the top of the seventh, eight strikeouts,

557
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 6: no walks for Kershaw, only seventy five pitches so far

558
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 6: through six plus innings, and the Diamondbacks lead at Colorado

559
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 6: ten to four in the top of the eighth. Earlier

560
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 6: ten inning wins for both Boston and for Toronto, which

561
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 6: has won six in a row Pittsburgh swept a doubleheader

562
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 6: at Washington Atlanta at the Mets rained out that was

563
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 6: due to be the Fox TV game today, so many

564
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 6: people saw Miami's home win seven to six over the Cubs.

565
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 6: Marlin scored five runs in the first. Tampa Bay is

566
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 6: twenty three and five after a win at the White

567
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 6: Sox tonight twelve to three. Race hit five homers in

568
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 6: the last three innings. The White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lane,

569
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 6: who zero to four, had a no hitter going through six,

570
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 6: and the team lost twelve to three. White Sox have

571
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 6: lost ten games in a row. Just one game on

572
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 6: the NBA late tonight. It's the second round opener at

573
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 6: the one seed in the West.

574
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: Denver.

575
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 6: Leads won twelve ninety five over Phoenix with under seven

576
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 6: minutes to go in this game, and this is despite

577
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: twenty seven points from Devin Booker and twenty nine from

578
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant to the Suns. Phoenix shot sixty percent from

579
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: the floor for most of the first half. It's about

580
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 6: fifty six percent now, maybe a little defense thrown in

581
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 6: there that might work, but thirty four points for Jamal

582
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 6: Murray now again, Nuggets lead in the fourth one twelve

583
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 6: ninety five, and an update on Joel Embiid seventy six

584
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 6: er said today Embiid expected to be doubtful for their

585
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 6: series opener Monday night against the Celtics due to the

586
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 6: sprain knee. The misspractice again today coming up Tuesday, the

587
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 6: league's MVP announcement back to you.

588
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Steve di Seger. This is Fox

589
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday, Eric Tors, Jason Martin broadcasting

590
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: live from the Tyraq dot Com studios. So, in addition

591
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 2: to obviously the Will Levis stuff, there's actually two other

592
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: quarterbacks taken in the AFC South, but the one I

593
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: want to focus on, Jason, is the one that went

594
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: in the spot that many people thought Will Levis was

595
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: going to go. That's number four overall, Anthony Richardson, who

596
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. Now it is worth

597
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: noting with the Levis stuff, By the way, there was

598
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: a report that I saw that had Anthony Richardson been

599
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: drafted in the top three, the Colts were comfortable taking

600
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Levis at four.

601
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: Don't know if that's true, but.

602
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: It's worth noting that, you know, maybe it was as

603
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 2: simple as just there not being enough spots or you know,

604
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: for quarterbacks that early in the draft. But I bring

605
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: it up to say, this is that we obviously, you know,

606
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: I think both of us. I think everybody who follows

607
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: this stuff and who's talked about the draft, I think

608
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: we all understood that Bryce young CJ. Stroud probably in

609
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: a class of their own, and then Levis and Anthony

610
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: Richardson were the high upside toolsy guys. And so I

611
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: bring it up because it sets up a very interesting

612
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: scenario in Indianapolis where Anthony Richardson, who frankly just doesn't

613
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: have a lot of college starts period. I believe the

614
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: number is thirteen total twelve last year one during the

615
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: previous season, he actually got benched in that game, doesn't

616
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: have a lot of game experience, leaves after his junior year,

617
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: ends up being drafted by a team that literally needs

618
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: a guy day, one minute, one hour, one in Indianapolis,

619
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: where they have gone through veteran quarterback after veteran quarterback,

620
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: they go with the young guy Jason. I just bring

621
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: it up to say it's an interesting scenario, but it's

622
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: very high risk, very high reward because Anthony Richardson felt

623
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: like the guy Okay, he could end up being better

624
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: than all of these guys in the long run, but

625
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna need some time. Time is one thing

626
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: Indianapolis does not have to give him in these coming years.

627
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, is that true or is it not?

628
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you give him some time to develop.

629
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: I think the Anthony Richardson, his talent, his measurables, how

630
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: far he can throw, just how fast he can run,

631
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: his size, all of those things, if it all comes together,

632
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: if you have the right mixture, the right coaches to

633
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: bring him along. I mean, if you get this thing right,

634
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got stuff that you could end up

635
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: seeing in can I mean, he's got Hall of Fame

636
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: level stuff. This also could go very, very poorly. The

637
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: Colts are going to have to build around him. They're

638
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: gonna have to commit to this. Now that they've made

639
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: this decision, They're gonna have to commit around him. And

640
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna have to spend money, and they're

641
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: gonna have to spend draft capital over the next few

642
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: years surrounding him with weapons. You think about Shane Steichen

643
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: and what he did in Philadelphia. Okay, I understand the

644
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: hurts for Richardson comparison and everything else. It makes sense

645
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 3: from that perspective, But what did the Eagles organization do

646
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: for Jalen Hurts that also helped him grow? Hurts put

647
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: in the time he went out to California, he worked

648
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: and built accuracy, which you generally don't see. But he

649
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: and Josh Allen have kind of both proven that it

650
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: can be done. But the Eagles went and grabbed a J. Brown,

651
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: They drafted well, they put talent around him, They really

652
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 3: developed their tight end position. They got very creative and

653
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: utilized the strengths of Jaylen Hurts, which have now grown

654
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: to include just being a flat out great quarterback in

655
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: the NFL that just got paid a ton of money.

656
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, he's got Michael Pittman Junior, who I really like.

657
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 3: And that's about it. And that can't be You're just

658
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: not gonna get it done. I mean, think about the

659
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: AFC South right now. You've got Will Levis, You've got C. J. Stroud,

660
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: You've got Anthony Richardson, and then you've got the veteran

661
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. Ye, it's a crazy like if it turned

662
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: out that these guys all and I want to go

663
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: back to Levis real quick and say one thing. I

664
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: know we were a little critical of Levis consistently, and

665
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: we have been. Man, I hope he's great. I say

666
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: that all the time, like we have to analyze what

667
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: we see and when we disagree with something, we have

668
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: to tell you that, folks. But at the same time,

669
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: I want to see thirty two great quarterbacks going at it.

670
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: Just go into war every Sunday, and I want Will

671
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: Levis to be the greatest quarterback the Tennessee Titans have

672
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: ever had, Like I want to see him flourish. This

673
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: is not about me praying that my prediction is right.

674
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 3: I don't ever want to predict something bad and then

675
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: it turned out to be true. I don't care how

676
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: smart it makes me look. I want Levis to be good.

677
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: That to say, I want Anthony Richardson to be all

678
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: time great. I want this all to work out. But

679
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: there is a risk. But I think the reward if

680
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: you're the Colts is finally we have a shot at

681
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: a guy that can lead our franchise for ten or

682
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: fifteen years if it pans out. And that's not something

683
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: you've been able to say about the people that have

684
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: been under center for Indianapolis since Andrew Luck.

685
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: Retired, Jacoby Brissett, Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Philip Rivers, not

686
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: in that order, but yeah, it has been tough. Fox

00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: This is this is very special to me.

776
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, especially because I look up to him as

777
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: much and I've always wanted to.

778
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 4: Be like that's an NBA player. He sounds like a

779
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 4: grown man dude.

780
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 3: He has more of a male voice than Bryce Young

781
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: does I mean? I mean, I'm dead serious about this. Like,

782
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: if I didn't know better, I would say he's like

783
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: Danny al Monte's brother.

784
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: Well he The funny thing is, first of all, he

785
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: was dressed exactly like Anthony Richardson. He looks like Anthony.

786
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: It was basically like doctor Evil and mini me. If

787
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: you actually watch the video. No, I'm serious, idol stop cool,

788
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: I stop, stop stop. But it was unbelievable. I heard

789
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: the audio and I had the and I saw the

790
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: video and it's this. I had the same exact reaction.

791
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 2: I was like, there's no way this kid's thirteen years old.

792
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: So I'm glad you guys had the same reaction because

793
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 2: I didn't know if it would play as well as

794
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: it does on social media where you can actually see

795
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: that he's a young dude. But yeah, that guy's gonna

796
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: steal your lunch money at recess, and then he's gonna

797
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 2: steal your wife once he gets out of school at

798
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 2: the end of the day. That kid is does not

799
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: sound like he's thirteen years old.

800
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: Dad, No, I mean, like I said when you say

801
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 3: he's thirteen, that I heard the voice. My media thought

802
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: was just like, all right, we're gonna have to have

803
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: a conversation about the age and the voice. But I

804
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 3: didn't know if that's if that was the take, But

805
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: I kind of figured as soon as you went to Pat,

806
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, I bet this is

807
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 3: why he played this. No, that worked out very very well.

808
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he sounds like he's thirteen going on fifty,

809
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: like he like he he sounds older than Greg Odin

810
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: looked as a senior at Ohio State.

811
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: Alex Tischer just said, he sounds like he's paid more taxes.

812
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: Than I did. I don't know if you have to

813
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: get your accountant on the phone. That's Alex say. Yeah.

814
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: So that was Anthony Richardson's thirteen year old brother. It

815
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: sounds like he's a little bit of a football player

816
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: as well. And that was the other joke I saw,

817
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 2: was like, get him a scholarship right now. He's ready

818
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: to go. He's ready to play in the SEC. But

819
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: that video, I don't know when it made the rounds

820
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: be because I didn't see it until late yesterday, but

821
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 2: everyone's reaction was essentially the same Anthony Richardson's brother, as

822
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: Alex said, what is in the water where they are from?

823
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: By the way, we do have a final in Denver.

824
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets take game one one twenty five one oh seven,

825
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: beating Phoenix in game one of the Western Conference semi finals. Jason,

826
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: we got three more hours to react to this, but

827
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: Denver takes game one. Not time to panic just yet

828
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: for Phoenix. But we can react again at the top

829
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: of the hour. But but yeah, Phoenix, they gotta find

830
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: somebody besides that big three to give some contributions here

831
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: going forward.

832
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean, as the first game of the series, it

833
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: was at home and the home team won. The home

834
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: team dominated from the outset. NBA playoffs, you usually don't

835
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: continue along the same pathway one game to the next.

836
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's almost like it's it's sort of

837
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: episodic in the way that it's done. These are stories

838
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 3: that sometimes don't necessarily relate to the one that came

839
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 3: before Game two. I can see the Nuggets winning that one.

840
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: I could still see Phoenix winning the series. I think

841
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 3: a lot of home wins are coming throughout this one.

842

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Aer Tors, Jason Martin broadcasting live from

843

844
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: We react to that next, also the game that went

845
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: final last night, Lakers beat the grizz and boy, oh boy,

846
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: did Lebron James have a lot to say. Discuss that next.

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

848
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,600

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. Jason, as the SEGA just

855
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 2: told us game one in the Western Conference Semifinals, I

856
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: guess it would be goes to Denver. Only one NBA

857
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: game today, Denver hosting Phoenix. Denver wins one twenty five,

858
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: one oh seven. Look, Denver was the favorite in this game.

859
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: They were at home. But the story to me, and

860
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 2: we don't have spend a ton of time on this

861
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: because it was a complete blowout, but the concerns that

862
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: I had and most everybody had about the Phoenix Suns

863
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: coming out of the opening round of the playoffs very

864
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: much reared their ugly head. Phoenix took care of the

865
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Clippers in five games, but even in those

866
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 2: five games, Paul George doesn't play at all, Kawhi Leonard

867
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: doesn't play after game two, and despite it, Phoenix only

868
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 2: wins Game three by four points and Game six by

869
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: six points. Both games could have gone either way, but

870
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: Phoenix made just a few more plays in the final minutes.

871
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: I bring it up to say, you know, you're looking

872
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: at a situation tonight. Kevin Durant has twenty nine points,

873
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 2: Devin Booker, excuse me, has twenty seven. No one else

874
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 2: has more than fourteen. It's not really that competitive. And

875
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: I think the one thing that would be concerning if

876
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: you're a Phoenix fan, Phoenix shoots seven of twenty three

877
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: from three. Meanwhile Denver sixteen of thirty seven. That's forty

878
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 2: three percent. Now, obviously they're not gonna shoot forty three

879
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: percent for the series, but that is nine more three pointers,

880
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: twenty seven more points from beyond the three point arc.

881
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: And so I bring it up to say, Phoenix a

882
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: very talented and fun to watch top three, but there

883
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: just isn't really that much behind those three Jays.

884
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: No, there's not. I mean, at times you get something

885
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: from Aden eight and had fourteen points in this game tonight.

886
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: But I think that you want to talk about. The

887
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 3: thing that would concern me a little bit is that

888
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 3: Durant and Booker combined to score fifty six points and

889
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 3: you still lost this game by eighteen. Like you score

890
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 3: twenty seven to twenty nine with those guys. Yes, both

891
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 3: of them are capable of more, but that's still pretty

892
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: solid production from those guys. Chris Paul gives you eleven,

893
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: sometimes it gives you ten, sometimes it gives you thirty.

894
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 3: DeAndre Aiden is not somebody you really can, you know,

895
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: feel particularly good about on a night to night basis.

896
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: Then on the other side, you get twenty four from Jokic,

897
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 3: you get twenty three from Aaron Gordon, and Murray gives

898
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 3: you thirty four. So they certainly play outstanding their three

899
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: outplay the three from Phoenix. But Phoenix getting twenty nine

900
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 3: to twenty seven from two of their big three, honestly,

901
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: that should be enough to win a lot of games.

902
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 3: But you're giving up one twenty five, which tells me

903
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 3: the same thing we talked about earlier and what we

904
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 3: knew when this trade was made. What you were sacrificing

905
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: in order to bring in a generational talent, a walk

906
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: in Hall of Famer, and a potential championship. Immediately, what

907
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 3: you were sacrificing is depth and defense, because this is

908
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 3: a team that scores, not necessarily that a team that

909
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 3: goes out there and stops a whole lot of people,

910
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 3: and Denver chewed them up and spit them out on

911
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: the offensive end tonight.

912
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question and it can be

913
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 2: from the Phoenix perspective or the Denver perspective. And we're

914
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: gonna talk about the Lakers here in a minute, which

915
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 2: closed out Phoenix or excuse me, close out Memphis last night.

916
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 2: But for a lot of people, it felt like Phoenix

917
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: was the favorite in the West, maybe by default, because

918
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers you didn't feel great about them. The Warriors

919
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: were not great on the road, were not great throughout

920
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: much of the regular season. So I guess I would

921
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 2: ask it from two perspectives. Is one, do you still

922
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 2: consider Phoenix to be a team that either can come

923
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: out of the West or should be favored to come

924
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: out of the West. But then two. I'll also ask

925
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: you has your opinion it all changed on Denver because

926
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: I'll just say, you know, listen again, We'll talk about

927
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 2: the Lakers here momentarily, but you look at Denver. Yeah,

928
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: Jokicic's is the focal point two time raigning MVP. Maybe

929
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: a third one in a couple weeks here, but or

930
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 2: a couple days here, as the SEGRE just said they'll

931
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 2: announce it later this week. But thirty four points from

932
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon played great, Michael Porter Junior played great,

933
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: and I was just like, I was watching this game

934
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: and I was like, I know Denver's at home, so

935
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: it's game one. Whatever. Denver just has more dudes, and

936
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: I get why they were the number one seed, and

937
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: if they can get contributions across the board like they

938
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: did tonight, they feel like much more of a real

939
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: contender to me going forward. By the way, I remember

940
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: Bernie Fratto saying last week when he was on with

941
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: us that he likes Denver potentially to come out of

942
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: the West, and I can see why he feels that way,

943
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 2: not just because of tonight, but this is the number

944
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: one seed.

945
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 4: They'll have home court advantage, throughout these playoffs.

946
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: I feel a lot better about them than I did

947
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: maybe ten days ago, and a lot worse about Phoenix

948
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: going forward.

949
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: So this may sound crazy, but I think a lot

950
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 3: of this has to do with the fact it's the

951
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets and that name carries no weight. This has

952
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 3: been one of the best teams in basketball for half

953
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 3: a decade. Jokich is a two time reigning MVP. I

954
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna win it this year, but maybe

955
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: he will. We'll find out. Phoenix is a team a

956
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: little bit of history. You remember them, You remember Barkley,

957
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 3: you remember Dan Marley, you remember kJ you remember some

958
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 3: of these things.

959
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: They were in the fight real quick several years ago,

960
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: and that's right, most of that core, and you're like, oh,

961
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: they added Kevin Durant, but continue.

962
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's just the Denver Nuggets. When

963
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: you say it out loud, it just doesn't sound impressive.

964
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: And it's not because it's a terrible nickname or anything else.

965
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 3: It's just because there's nothing to back it up. You

966
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 3: have to. It feels like you're going out on a

967
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 3: limb to really talk about how good the Denver Nuggets are.

968
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 3: It just doesn't sound right. You talk about the Lakers,

969
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: you got no problem. You talk about the Celtics, you

970
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 3: got no problem. You talk about the Sixers, you got

971
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: no problem. The Bucks have turned themselves into a no

972
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: problem situation right up until they lost in the first round.

973
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that a little bit later on. But

974
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: you talk about like, remember when Utah was the number

975
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 3: one seed. I got caught up with that. We did

976
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: our like, we did our fox host bracket thing, and

977
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 3: I picked the Jazz to win the championship. We'll never

978
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: do that again. Like, there are just some teams where

979
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 3: it's yeah, they're good. But Denver right now needs I

980
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 3: think that the NBA could really use that butt disappearing,

981
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: like eventually, virually, Denver needs to cash this thing in

982
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: so that all of the hype that they probably have

983
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 3: deserved and not gotten over the last three or four years,

984
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 3: they can shove that in everybody's face and say, see,

985
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 3: we've been this good the entire time. They're really good.

986
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 3: And when you watch them, as you just said, you

987
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: understand why they're in the number one seed. You could

988
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 3: see them coming out of the West. You start to

989
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 3: reevaluate some of the other teams in that on that

990
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: side in that conference. I think that's I think it

991
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: really does have a lot to do with the fact

992
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 3: that it's the Denver Nuggets, and that sounds like something

993
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 3: you shouldn't care about because for such a long period

994
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: of time, right up until this era, it hasn't been

995
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: anything outside of a year or two of Carmelo Anthony.

996
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, let's switch gears. With that in mind, the Denver

997
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: Nuggets probably don't get enough credit for what they do,

998
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 2: what they've done this year in the last couple of years.

999
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 2: Team that's always in the headlines, never an issue there

1000
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: that is the Los Angeles Lakers. And for the first

1001
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: time in a long time, the Lakers are just to

1002
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 2: find the headlines, and the headlines are positive rather than

1003
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 2: negative and infighting and trades and this, and Anthony Davis

1004
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: is hurt. Lakers close out Memphis in six games last night.

1005
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: Jason at home at the Crypto dot Com Arena. I'll

1006
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 2: say this, I wasn't a Lakers believer coming into the playoffs,

1007
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 2: and I do think, you know, I'll believe Anthony Davis

1008
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: can stay healthy for two and a half straight months

1009
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: when I see it, even though I know obviously games

1010
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: are spaced out during the playoffs. I get all that

1011
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 2: these Lakers look really, really, really good, and we can

1012
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 2: criticize some of the coverage, some of this, some of that,

1013
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 2: but I think the front office, and this is maybe

1014
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: another conversation for later in the show, where later in

1015
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs, I think they've done a great job building

1016
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 2: a team around the talents of Lebron James and Anthony Davis.

1017
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 2: They looked really good in that series against Memphis. They

1018
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 2: closed it out last night in front of a crowd

1019
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: that felt like an old school Lakers crowd with Jack Nicholas, Jack,

1020
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson there, not Jack Nicholas. I don't think the

1021
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: golfer was there. Jack nichol said, was there, Doctor Dre

1022
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: was there, Adele, Larry David, everybody. So it felt like

1023
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and I gotta say, in a wide open year,

1024
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 2: in a wide open season, we just talked about the Nuggets,

1025
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: but the Lakers very much, in my opinion, looked the

1026
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: part as well.

1027
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 3: Jason See, I agree with you, and I certainly was

1028
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 3: skeptical with them at the trade deadline, but the moves

1029
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 3: that have been made by Rob Polenka and what they've done,

1030
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 3: I really liked the mixture of this team. I watched

1031
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: most of the minutes of this series, the vast majority

1032
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 3: of them. As a matter of fact, it was a

1033
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: very competitive series, even though there were some big time

1034
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 3: leads and deficits at different times. But there was a

1035
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: lot of energy, there was a lot of emotion. There

1036
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 3: was a lot of drama. But you look at guys

1037
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 3: like Hashimura and Russell. Last night in particular, just showed out.

1038
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves has all kinds of swag the way he plays.

1039
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 3: And then Anthony Davis when he's healthy. We know how

1040
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: good Anthony Davis can be. The question is how often

1041
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 3: is he gonna be out there being that good and

1042
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 3: lebron At times it's not like he's played a secondary role,

1043
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: but he has been able to sit back and facilitate

1044
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: and then just kind of pick his spots, and that's

1045
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 3: the best way for him to be right now, because

1046
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 3: that's gonna leave him more fresh down the stretch. I

1047
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 3: like the making of this team like I like the

1048
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 3: makeup of it. I like the chemistry of it. I

1049
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 3: like the way they look together on the floor. They

1050
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 3: seem to have fixed some of their shooting woes. I

1051
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 3: still think they could have used making a move or

1052
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 3: two they didn't make last year. But right now, where

1053
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 3: there are flaws in many places, the two teams that

1054
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 3: the West right now I like the best are Denver

1055
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 3: and the Lakers.

1056
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 2: I actually do too. Obviously, we'll see who wins the

1057
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: Sacramento Golden State series tomorrow. Obviously Golden State has that

1058
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: championship pedigree, but last night they had a chance to

1059
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 2: close out Sacramento at home, they could not take care

1060
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: of business. Now they gotta go on the road and

1061
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 2: do that, and then they got to turn around quickly

1062
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 2: and play the Lakers in the next round.

1063
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 4: So I'm with you.

1064
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: I like the Suns coming into the playoffs, did worry

1065
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 2: about the depth. I am much more concerned about them,

1066
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: not just because of tonight, but because of what I

1067
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: saw in Round one. Lakers are playing really well, Nuggets

1068
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: are playing really well. And again for people who missed it,

1069
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 2: the Nuggets did take Game one in convincing fashion. This evening,

1070
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Aratrus Jason Martin coming up, Jason, we

1071
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: got to talk about the other side of that Lakers

1072
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: Memphis series, because while the Lakers are moving on, the

1073
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies, who had a lot to say during the

1074
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 2: season during the series, they're headed home and it might

1075
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 2: just be time for them to focus on basketball. We'll

1076
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 2: discuss that next Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back everybody, Fox

Speaker 2: check it out for yourself at discovered dot com.

1082
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: This is very to me. Appreciate the angels and airwaves too.

1083
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 3: On the way back in it's good stuff.

1084
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 2: My guy Alex tight Shirt on the Ones and Tuesday Night,

1085
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: Chris Purfett is out. He is hosting his podcast Pride

1086
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: of Detroit Man.

1087
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 3: They're talking about Hndon Hooker, that's right, which we can

1088
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 3: talk about. By the way, I want to say this,

1089
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 3: and I bet Disager will then thank us for having

1090
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 3: mentioned this.

1091
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 4: But I can see him now big.

1092
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm a big universe guy. I love uniforms and and

1093
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: different stuff. I love the Braves throwbacks. We talked about those. Actually,

1094
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 3: Disager and I we talked about this a couple of

1095
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 3: weeks ago in the show Classics. These Cardinals powder blue

1096
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 3: unis are some of the most beautiful uniforms.

1097
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: In all sports.

1098
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 4: Mike Willie McGee, dude, I love.

1099
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: These things so much. I know there are people out

1100
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 3: there I'm sure that don't, but I think those things.

1101
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 3: I can't believe they don't wear them everyday home and road.

1102
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 6: They look, this is on fass one. They're going to

1103
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 6: the ninth right now in LA And don't the Phillies

1104
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 6: also have the nineteenth seventies, eighties powder blue.

1105
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: That's right.

1106
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Dan Byers the uniform.

1107
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 6: Uh guru helmets, end zones.

1108
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got He's got that down no science, so

1109
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he is loving the Cardinals powder blues. By

1110
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: the way, I do agree with you on this. They

1111
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: are a thing of beauty as the Dodgers and Cardinals.

1112
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: As you said to say, you're going to the ninth inning.

1113
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 6: Here, you're expecting Tom Needenfeer to come out of it.

1114
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1115
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 6: On nineteen eighty five with this matchup with the unis.

1116
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: Tom Candiatti was that a Cardinal? I don't know.

1117
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 6: Maybe Oral Hirsheizer come down hershiser.

1118
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kirk Kirk, Kirk Gibson coming up to pinch hit

1119
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 4: bottom of the night.

1120
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 3: They get shut out, at least they're gonna look good

1121
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: getting shut out.

1122
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 2: They are a thing of beauty. Cardinals playing the Dodgers here,

1123
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 2: as the sager said, FS one game. This a one

1124
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 2: nothing game in the ninth inning like the old days.

1125
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 2: So all right, back to the NBA, Jason, and this

1126
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 2: was a topic that I know is very near and

1127
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 2: dear to your heart, because over the last couple of

1128
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: weeks we've talked a lot about the Memphis Grizzlies. Actually,

1129
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, we were on during Game three,

1130
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 2: I guess it would have been last Saturday night, and

1131
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 2: we came on air right as the game was tipping

1132
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: off at ten pm Eastern, and he said, I got

1133
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 2: a sneaking suspicion something's gonna happen here. And this was

1134
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: shortly after the comments by Dylan Brooks about Lebron James

1135
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: and on and on and on and on and on. Well,

1136
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,479
Speaker 2: fast forward a couple days. Obviously, the Los Angeles Lakers

1137
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 2: took Game three when we were on air the other day,

1138
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: and they have since closed out the series. Sending the

1139
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies the number two seed home. Worth noting, by

1140
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: the way, Lebron James had a little something to say

1141
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 2: on social media today. He said, and this is a

1142
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: quote from his Twitter page, unlike you, little blank, I'm

1143
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 2: a grown blank man, big shoes to fill, grown blank pants.

1144
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: Probably hustle with your pops. Go ask your parents. It's

1145
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: a parent you're stating. Start staring at a legend who

1146
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: put a few little you know, what's in the place

1147
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: before trying to eat without saying they grace before. Now,

1148
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: I probably should have read that before. I actually just

1149
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 2: read it on air because there was a lot of

1150
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: stuff I could not say. Uh, but it seemed as

1151
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: though Lebron, I mean, he could have been talking about anybody.

1152
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he could have been just you know, and

1153
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: maybe he was quoting a music lyric that I'm not

1154
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 2: familiar with, but seem as though it was taken as

1155
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 2: a you know. He was finally responding to a player

1156
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 2: who said that Lebron James was old and he wished

1157
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 2: he could have played him in his prime. So Memphis,

1158
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 2: after all, that chirpin number two seed in the playoffs,

1159
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: that is worth noting. He did have some injuries. Joe

1160
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 2: was hurt throughout much of the series. Steven Adams was out.

1161
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 2: But they talked to Big Talk in the regular season,

1162
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: they talked to Big Talk in the postseason, and they're

1163
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 2: gonna be watching the playoffs from the couch just like

1164
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 2: the rest of us, Jason going forward.

1165
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 3: They've now done this twice. They talked last year, they

1166
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 3: talked about the Warriors, they danced around, they did all

1167
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 3: these things in John actually got hurt last year too.

1168
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 3: To date, they have beaten the Minnesota Timberwolves in a

1169
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 3: playoff series and that's it oo. And they have talked

1170
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 3: like they're the five time reigning defending champions of the NBA.

1171
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: They're talking like their Roman reigns approaching thousand days as

1172
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 3: universal champion in WWE, and they've won nothing, like they've

1173
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 3: done absolutely nothing. But they talk the game and maybe

1174
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 3: that's what they feel like they have to do to

1175
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: play at a high level. What's obnoxious about this is

1176
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 3: they're really really good. They are, like Desmond Baynes a

1177
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 3: solid player, and Jaron Jackson Junior is a solid player.

1178
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 3: And we know what job Moran is. They've got the

1179
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 3: kind of makeup that you would want, but they just

1180
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: can't stop talking and it makes them so hard to

1181
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 3: root for. Let me tell you this is something that

1182
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 3: I just wasn't sure that I could ever do again.

1183
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 3: I cheered for Lebron James like openly throughout that playoff

1184
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 3: series to embarrassed the Memphis Grizzlies because the Grizzlies became

1185
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: so insufferable, because I just feel like you need to

1186
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 3: sneak up on people. At least. The Bengals talked the

1187
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 3: game after they got to the Super Bowl. They they said, yeah,

1188
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 3: we deserve to be here, and then the next year

1189
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: they said, we're, you know, until somebody knocks us off.

1190
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 3: We're the best team in the AFC. That's what Joe

1191
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 3: Mixon said, but he had something to back that up.

1192
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 3: These guys are just telling you how good they are.

1193
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 3: But it's like a draft pick going number one overall

1194
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: and talking about how good he is and then going

1195
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 3: out on the field and barely making the playoffs. This

1196
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 3: is just this is writing checks with your mouth that

1197
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 3: your game hasn't been able to cash yet. And yeah,

1198
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 3: maybe you've had some bad luck and you've run into

1199
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: these things. But you can't talk about Joe getting hurt

1200
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 3: too much because the game Jah got hurt in you won,

1201
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 3: Like that's that's a game that Memphis won. You can't

1202
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 3: look at it and be like, well, that's when we

1203
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 3: would have won if we had John. No, you won

1204
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 3: that game without John Moran in it. You won it

1205
00:58:57,720 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: one o three to ninety three, if I'm not mistaken.

1206
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 3: So you can't even point to that what Memphis needs

1207
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 3: to do. And I just don't know if this is

1208
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 3: who they are, and Okay, maybe we're going to see

1209
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 3: them do this again. They walk around like they're the

1210
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 3: bad boy Pistons, but the Pistons won championships. They need

1211
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 3: to do that second thing and stop doing the first

1212
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 3: thing until they do the second thing. If you want

1213
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 3: to chirp, then you need a chip, and right now

1214
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: they don't have that. So they need to quiet down,

1215
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 3: buckle down. They can play the same brand of basketball,

1216
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 3: but they just need to stay quiet. And they probably

1217
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 3: need to rid themselves if they can, of the Dylan

1218
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 3: Brooks experience, because he's not a good shooter, he's not

1219
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 3: a great basketball player. He's just an irritant. And I

1220
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 3: know you got to have a crazy guy, but I

1221
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 3: just don't think he's a good influence on the rest

1222
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: of that team. They don't need that guy on their

1223
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: squad right now because they don't have enough of the

1224
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 3: leaders to overcome that.

1225
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: That's interesting, Yeah, because you think about like say the

1226
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. Obviously the parallel you know Steph and

1227
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 2: Clay and you know they're they're very mature guys that

1228
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 2: can keep Draymond in line. And when Draymond's got to

1229
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 2: go a little Draymond, that's not the worst thing because

1230
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: they can kind of reel him back in.

1231
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 4: It's a good point.

1232
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 2: You know, the the the Grizzlies are young, but they

1233
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: also they're not mature, like right like like even when

1234
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: the Warriors were coming up, there was a maturity to

1235
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: Steph Curry. There's a maturity to Clay Thompson. There's a

1236
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 2: maturity still to Kevon Looney like the rest of those guys,

1237
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: and Draymond could kind of do his thing. By the way,

1238
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Steve Kerr, there's a you know, an adult in the room,

1239
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: a championship winning coach that can fall back on his

1240
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: playing career that with due respect to the guys in Memphis,

1241
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 2: that isn't the case. So it is interesting because I

1242
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: would just say in general, you know, we talk about

1243
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 2: like running it back like a team, like, oh, can

1244
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: this team run it back with the core that they

1245
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 2: have after they lost in this round or whatever? And

1246
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know that you can run back.

1247
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 2: Maybe I think you still run back the same core,

1248
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: you change a few pieces, but I do think the

1249
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 2: mentality can't be run back where it's like, you know,

1250
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: a little bit more humility, a little bit more humble pie,

1251
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 2: and just you know, like it's so cliche like, but

1252
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: let your game do the talking. And then oh, by

1253
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: the way, if you beat somebody, if next year you're

1254
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 2: playing the Lakers in Round one and you sweep them,

1255
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 2: then you talk you're junk. If you if you beat

1256
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals next year, then

1257
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: you talk you're junk. But I agree, Jason, is that

1258
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 2: I you know, it doesn't really bother me, but it

1259
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: does look kind of corny when you talk this big talk.

1260
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: And not only do you lose, Jason, I mean they

1261
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: weren't even going to the podium. Dylan Brooks wasn't even

1262
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 2: answering questions. I mean, you know, you do what you do,

1263
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 2: you say what you say, you take a literal cheap

1264
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: shot and you're not even gonna answer questions. That's just

1265
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 2: weak sauce Chase.

1266
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean he was talking about how he

1267
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 3: was victimized because of his because of my history, be

1268
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 3: could my reputation or whatever like that. He's like, that's

1269
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 3: why they came down hard on me on this and

1270
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 3: all this other kind of stuff. Like, well, dude, you've

1271
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 3: brought that, Like that's just the way it is. Talk

1272
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 3: to Rashid Wallace about it, like, this is a thing

1273
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 3: that's always going to be a thing for you because

1274
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 3: you've made it into a thing, because that's become your brand.

1275
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Because the thing that doesn't seem to be your brand

1276
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 3: is basketball. And if you would do a little bit

1277
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: more of the playing side, if you're capable of doing that,

1278
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 3: and maybe a little bit like do you have to

1279
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 3: do that? Is that the only way that you can

1280
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 3: psych yourself up to play basketball? Like weird analogy here,

1281
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 3: but I saw Jack White at the Rhymen Auditorium years

1282
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 3: and years ago here, you know, the home of the

1283
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 3: Grand Old Opry, one of the most famous places to

1284
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 3: play music in the entire worlds won all sorts of

1285
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 3: awards I've been there many many times, so Jack White

1286
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: and I have these great seats for it. Jack White

1287
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 3: comes on stage, and of course he was with the

1288
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 3: White Stripes forever and he's an absolute rock legend, and

1289
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 3: he's seeing there crying after the first song, and he says,

1290
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, they've asked me to play here before, but

1291
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: I never thought I was worthy of it. Now this

1292
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 3: is I was there the first had ever played at

1293
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 3: the Rhyme and he had turned it down. Now he

1294
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 3: was doing a solo career, and he was just like,

1295
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 3: I didn't think I was worthy of this place. Thank

1296
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 3: you for making me feel worthy of this place. Memphis

1297
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: took the stage the first time they were asked to

1298
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 3: go on the Ryman Auditorium stage and then told everybody

1299
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 3: on the microphone they should have been there earlier and

1300
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 3: they were about to blow you away, and then they

1301
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 3: proceeded to be off key all night. Like that's that's

1302
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 3: basically what we've seen. I want to like Memphis, and

1303
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 3: I love watching him play basketball, but the Chirpin's gotta

1304
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 3: go until you start winning games, and they are not

1305
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 3: doing I don't care what you're doing in the regular season,

1306
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: but a lot of great NBA teams won a lot

1307
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 3: of regular season games that we don't talk about at

1308
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 3: all because they haven't had any success in the postseason.

1309
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Next year is a real prove it year for this

1310
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 3: Memphis group because it's definitely gonna be and I mean

1311
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 3: this literally put up or shut up for most of

1312
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: the fans of the NBA.

1313
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio Aertorris Jason Martin broadcasting live

1314
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 2: from thee Tireck dot Com. Videos coming up, Jason, I

1315
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: do want to get to the sound of the week

1316
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 2: in the NBA coming courtesy of Jannis Antennakupo. We will

1317
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 2: discuss his comments next for you, though. Toss it over

1318
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 2: the news desk, Steve Desager, what's trending, Hay.

1319
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 6: Still everything is final? Is that Dodgers Cardinals game with

1320
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 6: the nineteen eighty uniforms is done. I believe a couple

1321
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 6: of hits for Mariano Duncan and Steve Sachs in this one.

1322
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 6: Who Todd Worrel played a part somewhere on the mound

1323
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 6: in this game? Dodgers won nothing the final over a

1324
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 6: Saint Louis team whose record is now ten and eighteen.

1325
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 6: Cardinals offense went three for thirty one, no homers, just

1326
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 6: like the eighty five Cardinals.

1327
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 3: They need Vince Coleman, that's right.

1328
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 6: Have him steal eighty to ninety bases. You know, we

1329
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 6: might get that with somebody now that they've changed the

1330
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,919
Speaker 6: rules a bit. Dodgers are fifteen and thirteen. The game

1331
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 6: was on FS one tonight. Clayton Kershaw, the winning pitcher,

1332
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 6: is five and one ERA one point eighty nine on

1333
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 6: the season. He threw seven scoreless innings in this game,

1334
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 6: nine strikeouts, no walks, eighty eight pitches throw oko. Not

1335
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,959
Speaker 6: as good as Fernando and Hersheiser, maybe from eighty five,

1336
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 6: but pretty darn good. The Atlanta game at the Mets

1337
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: was rained out today. They'll play a doubleheader in August

1338
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 6: to make up today's game. There is a chance of

1339
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 6: rain tomorrow. Also in New York there was rain yesterday

1340
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 6: to Steve Rain shortened game five innings last night when

1341
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 6: the Braves beat him, so much of the country on

1342
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 6: Fox TV saw the game from Miami, where the Marlins

1343
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 6: against the Cubs scored five runs in the first inning

1344
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 6: and held on for a seven to sixth victory. Luis Arias,

1345
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 6: who won the batting title in the American League with

1346
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 6: the Twins last year, had three hits for the Marlins.

1347
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 6: Today he's batting four forty two this month. Cincinnati and

1348
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 6: Philadelphia with victories, ten inning wins for Boston, and Toronto

1349
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 6: Blue Jays have won sixth straight. The Pittsburgh Pirates are

1350
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 6: twenty to eight after a doubleheader sweep at Washington sixty

1351
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 6: three and sixteen to one. Tampa Bay wins again, Texas

1352
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 6: and Milwaukee with victories. And then there's the weekend in

1353
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 6: Mexico City and the altitude. A total of eleven home

1354
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 6: runs in the game. San Diego beat San Francisco sixteen

1355
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 6: to eleven. In this one, there were seven home runs

1356
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,479
Speaker 6: that traveled at least four hundred and forty feet each.

1357
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 6: In one major league game, there were eighteen runs scored

1358
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 6: just in the first five innings. And these two are

1359
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 6: going to play each other there in the same stadium

1360
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 6: in Mexico City tomorrow. I'm guessing that they won't have

1361
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 6: this kind of offense when they had the London series

1362
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 6: with the Cardinals and Cubs this summer, But you never know,

1363
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 6: because I do believe there was a high scoring Red

1364
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 6: Sox Yankees game in London a few short years ago

1365
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 6: to the NBA Playoffs. One game on the Saturday schedule.

1366
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 6: The second round opener went to Denver over Phoenix one

1367
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 6: twenty five, one to oh seven. Philadelphia is going to

1368
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 6: open its second round series at Boston Monday night, but

1369
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 6: Joelle and b to Philly expected to be doubtful for

1370
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 6: Game one with the spray knee. He missed practice again today.

1371
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 6: To the Stanley Cup playoffs, there is a game still

1372
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 6: in progress the La Kings, trying to save their season,

1373
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 6: hosting Game six, but Edmonton is lead tonight for to

1374
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 6: three with about eight minutes to go in the second period.

1375
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 6: The Rangers forced a Game seven Monday in New Jersey,

1376
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 6: beating the Devils five to two. Tonight, and Toronto picks

1377
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 6: up its first playoff series victory since two thousand and four,

1378
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 6: an overtime win at Tampa Bay two to one. In

1379
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 6: Game six. Tony Fenow leads by two strokes that the

1380
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 6: Mexico opened John Rahm, ranked number one in the world

1381
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 6: as tied for second after shooting a third round sixty

1382
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 6: one today and the Livgolf event as its final round

1383
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 6: ongoing in Singapore right now. Sergio Garcia tied for the

1384
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 6: lead brooks Kopka has been in the hunt. Currently it

1385
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 6: is Garcia and Taylor Gooch up by one stroke over

1386
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 6: brooks Koepka. We'll talk NFL next hour on this show.

1387
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,919
Speaker 6: There's a lot to talk about with NFL. Not only

1388
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 6: the draft completed, but we had tons of deals, draft picks,

1389
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 6: draft with players traded, and even today Eagles picked up

1390
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 6: yet another running back, DeAndre Swift from the Lions for

1391
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 6: a fourth rounder.

1392
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 2: Back to you, So you're not sure if anybody on

1393
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: the network had time talk about it today, but in

1394
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 2: our three we will break down the Aaron Rodgers trade

1395
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 2: and the Lamar Jackson saying not sure you know, I know,

1396
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 2: Jason Smith, Gottlieb, but the.

1397
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 6: Times during the week, Yeah, exactly, Jets, are you kidding

1398
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 6: that's true?

1399
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe maybe Jason Smith got it in

1400
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 2: in a forty five. But we will be talking about

1401
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 2: all of that next hour, as well as visiting back

1402
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 2: with the draft. Thank you very much to.

1403
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 6: Esasually, Jason was gung ho on the Rogers acquisition because

1404
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 6: of course the Jets were just this close with nothing

1405
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 6: at quarterback last year, and then he had an actual

1406
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 6: NFL writer as a guest. Jason lockin Ford, who just

1407
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 6: continued to laugh for about ten to fifteen minutes straight

1408
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 6: on the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers.

1409
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk about it in our three, but I

1410
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 2: will say I don't want to do the whole thing

1411
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 2: now because we've got a lot to get to now.

1412
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know this, I'll just say this.

1413
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 2: I think Tom Brady has skewed for a lot of

1414
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 2: people what is realistic for a quarterback at forty years old,

1415
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: especially with the new organization. But stay tuned for about

1416
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 2: twenty four minutes from now.

1417
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 6: Tom Brady wasn't coming off his worst passer rating of.

1418
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 4: That is a great point. That is a great counterpoint.

1419
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 3: So we will know we've always had By the way,

1420
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna cut you off so that we don't

1421
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 3: end up saying anything more. So we still have an

1422
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 3: hour three to get to. I was thinking about this.

1423
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 3: You realize we've always had this.

1424
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 7: Man.

1425
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 3: I bet, I bet Alabama could beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

1426
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 3: Like argument three four years ago, it's always like the

1427
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 3: best college team could beat the worst NFL team. We're

1428
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 3: actually about to get to see that sucause can the

1429
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 3: Georgia Bulldogs win the NFC East.

1430
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's get into it. We're gonna do

1431
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 2: the honest stuff. We'll save it for another time. Let's stick.

1432
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the draft because there was so

1433
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 2: much to talk about. And I'll tell you, you know, we'll

1434
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 2: get all the draft grades from all the experts over

1435
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,520
Speaker 2: the next couple of days. But certainly as it pertained

1436
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 2: to round one, Jason I thought the winners outside of

1437
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 2: the obvious. We'll talk about the Houston Texans later on

1438
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,720
Speaker 2: in the show. All that I did think it was

1439
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles. And I'll tell you why. Jason I

1440
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 2: was talking to producer Pat about this in the break is.

1441
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 2: You know, round one, they get the guy that most

1442
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 2: deemed to be the most talented player in the draft,

1443
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter from Georgia. We know about his problems off

1444
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 2: the field, arrested, turned himself in during the combine over,

1445
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: you know, his involvement in a tragic accident on the

1446
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 2: Georgia campus. Has his pro day, can't finish it. He's

1447
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 2: so out of shape. And so when you draft that guy, Jason,

1448
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 2: you're always worried about, Okay, can we keep him in line?

1449
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 4: Can we do this? Can we do that.

1450
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 2: Well, who drafts from the Philadelphia Eagles. Why is that important?

1451
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: It's not just because they're the reigning NFC champion Jason,

1452
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: It's because who do they have around him in Philadelphia? Oh,

1453
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. Nikobe Dean, the emotional leader of the

1454
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 2: Georgia twenty twenty two national champions. Jordan Davis, a star

1455
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty two national champions.

1456
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 8: Oh.

1457
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 2: By the way, Later in the first round, they drafted

1458
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 2: Nolan Smith, who was the emotional leader of this year's team,

1459
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,040
Speaker 2: the guy who was actually at the combine having to

1460
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 2: answer questions about Jalen Carter when Jalen Carter left the

1461
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: combine to turn himself into police in Athens. Other Georgia

1462
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,560
Speaker 2: players were drafted throughout the second and third days of

1463
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. But outside of the fact that basically

1464
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 2: the whole team is Jalen Hurts and a bunch of

1465
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 2: Georgia Bulldogs, I love the fact that listen, in any sport,

1466
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 2: in any walk of life, if you're going to take

1467
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 2: a talented but potentially enigmatic person, you want to put

1468
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 2: them in the best position to succeed, surround them with

1469
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 2: people that will hold them accountable and That's exactly what

1470
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles did, not only drafting Jalen Hurts, but

1471
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 2: drafting his former teammates last year this year and putting

1472
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 2: an infrastructure in place where it's not gonna be Nick Sirianni,

1473
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 2: that's gonna hold him in line if he does something dumb.

1474
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: It's Nikobe Dean, It's Jordan Davis, it's Nolan Smith on

1475
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 2: an on Jason.

1476
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 3: Let's not forget about the fact they also traded for

1477
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift. That's right, Yes, so another one.

1478
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 2: I think they drafted Khilley Ringo.

1479
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeh, yeah, that's right. So I was trying to look

1480
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 3: at what you just said's right. I don't need to

1481
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:03,719
Speaker 3: add anything to that. I mean, I think that's true.

1482
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 3: You put the accountability partners that have already proven to

1483
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 3: bring out the best in this guy. You put them

1484
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 3: back there, and you hope that familiarity and that level

1485
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 3: of leadership and maturity, you know, finds its way to

1486
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 3: jail and Carter because from a talent standpoint, as long

1487
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 3: as he's harnessed properly, I mean, dude's got everything that

1488
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 3: you could possibly want. But I was looking at it,

1489
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 3: and I was trying to think about this, and I

1490
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 3: don't know that it works out exactly, but if you

1491
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 3: were going to you're an NFL team of the Eagles,

1492
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 3: You've got a fairly young quarterback in jail on her

1493
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 3: she just paid him some money. You've still got a

1494
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,799
Speaker 3: young nucleus, and now, of course you're getting younger and younger.

1495
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 3: You're going and grabbing this super team over the last

1496
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 3: two three years, like Kirby Smart and all that, they've done,

1497
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 3: the recruiting, the guys, the talent. We knew they were

1498
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 3: the most talented team two years ago. We knew they

1499
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 3: were the most talented team this past season, for example.

1500
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 3: So you go and grab a bunch of those guys,

1501
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 3: and you think to yourself, as other NFL teams age out,

1502
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 3: as a lot of the stars that we've been watching

1503
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 3: age out, who's going to be leading the charge in

1504
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 3: the future in NFL, Well, it's going to be the

1505
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 3: players coming from a team that we all said was

1506
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 3: the best roster in football for two or three years

1507
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 3: running in terms of recruiting. So you're thinking, once this

1508
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 3: thing turns over, we've got the roster that dominated the

1509
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 3: level that now everybody is going to be at. So

1510
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 3: You're almost like, here's Georgia against like an all star

1511
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 3: team of everybody else in the country being put together,

1512
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 3: but spread among thirty one other franchises. It's interesting because

1513
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,719
Speaker 3: I don't know that we have ever seen one team

1514
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 3: go this hard on one school. Now, your point about

1515
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 3: Joe and Carter is excellent, but I think there could

1516
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 3: be method to this. Like, I don't think it's a

1517
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 3: coincidence that all these guys are Georgia guys. I think

1518
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 3: the Eagles see something here and maybe they want to

1519
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 3: experiment a little bit.

1520
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw I'm trying to find who tweeted it out,

1521
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: but I saw a quote where I think it was

1522
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 2: Howie Roseman went to a Georgia bulldog's practice and you know,

1523
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 2: somebody asked him afterward, you know who did who did

1524
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 2: you like? And he literally said pretty much everybody, And

1525
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 2: I forget, Oh it was John Middlecoff. I want to

1526
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 2: credit John Middlecoff uh a former NFL scout who actually

1527
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 2: worked with the Eagles and he now does stuff with

1528
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 2: with Colin Cowherd and the Volume and all that, some

1529
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 2: Fox Sports radio stuff here and there as well. But

1530
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 2: he said, he said, this is a organizational decision by

1531
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 2: by the by the organization essentially is that essentially like

1532
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 2: we and the the example that John Middlecough used and

1533
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 2: again he's he did work for the Eagles is a

1534
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 2: few years ago they drafted Jalen reegor from UH from

1535
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 2: TCU and they it was a spot or two ahead

1536
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 2: of Justin Jefferson and they obviously missed on that pick.

1537
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 2: And essentially what John said, and I'm paraphrasing, I'm not

1538
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 2: trying to take credit for this is my own thought,

1539
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 2: is that organizationally, they just basically said, why are we

1540
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: overthinking this? Take the best players from the elite programs

1541
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: that are often the best high school players. They're the

1542
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 2: best trained, the best coach, the best this, the best that,

1543
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 2: and we think there's going to have success at the

1544
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 2: at the NFL level as well. So I'll tell you what, Jason,

1545
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 2: we gotta uh we could come back and continue this

1546
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 2: conversation because I do think it sets up for an

1547
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 2: interesting you know, look ahead to the NFL season where

1548
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, you know, just because you win in

1549
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 2: the regular season doesn't mean you're gonna get better in

1550
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 2: the offseason. The Eagles feel like they got a lot

1551
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 2: better this weekend. We'll discuss that next Fox Sports Radio.

1558
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 2: telling ty shirt. This song reminds me of the old

1559
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 2: Dennis Miller Show.

1560
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 3: Do you yeah? Absolutely?

1561
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 1: You know.

1562
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Two things about that Titer doesn't know this.

1563
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: This is literally my favorite song. Whoa yeah, No, literally,

1564
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 3: I've said that before on the air. Every Everybody Wants

1565
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 3: to Rule the World is literally my favorite song. And

1566
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 3: why is because of Denny's Dennis Miller Live. Not only

1567
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 3: do I know Dennis Miller Live, Aaron, I have the

1568
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 3: very rare Dennis Miller doll from Dennis Miller Live that

1569
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 3: has like it talks and says ten things that he

1570
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 3: used to say on that show all the time. It

1571
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 3: was the predecessor to Real Time with Bill Maher that

1572
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 3: would come on later, But yeah, huge Dennis Miller fan

1573
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 3: much of my life. And it was actually that show

1574
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 3: where I really kind of fell for Tears for Fears

1575
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 3: and then Vice City came along and I'm listening to

1576
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 3: Pale Shelter and some of that. I love Tears for

1577
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 3: Fears period, I've gotten. I really like eighties music now,

1578
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 3: maybe more than I did in the eighties. But yes, literally,

1579
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 3: Everybody Wants to Rule the World is my favorite song.

1580
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're underestimating how much Tyshert listens to

1581
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 2: our show. And you've obviously said it before, and he

1582
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 2: heard it because it is the sports guru. I mean,

1583
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 2: nobody loves sports and sports talking more than Tyshert. So

1584
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 2: tyscher thank you for making my co host night and

1585
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 2: let's get back to sports though, tyser you can chime

1586
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 2: in on these conversations as well anytime you like.

1587
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 6: I thank you.

1588
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 2: But by the way, I did find the quote. So

1589
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 2: Zach Berman, who covers the Eagles for The Athletic, did

1590
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 2: tweet this out today. He said, Howie Roseman, who's the

1591
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles GM, went to Georgia's practice last year. He

1592
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 2: came back and Nick Sirianni asked him, who do you like?

1593
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:47,919
Speaker 2: His answer, I don't know, like the whole defense. So literally,

1594
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 2: Howie Roseman is a huge fan of the Georgia Bulldogs.

1595
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, so to go back to what we were saying, Jason,

1596
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 2: I heard John Middlkoff say this again, former scout worked

1597
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 2: with the Eagles and worked under Howie Roseman. But it

1598
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: was really an organizational decision. About two three years ago,

1599
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 2: they passed on Justin Jefferson for Jalen Regor And they

1600
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 2: basically just sat there and said, like, why did we

1601
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 2: pass on Justin Jefferson. He was the most prolific wide

1602
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 2: receiver for the best team in college football at an

1603
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 2: elite program, played against the best competition in the SEC.

1604
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 2: Let's not overthink it, and it's kind of became an

1605
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 2: organizational thing. Drafted Devonte Smith coming off of his Heisman

1606
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 2: Trophy year, even though people questioned his size and is

1607
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 2: this and is that they obviously you know, last year

1608
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 2: it was Jordan Davis, it was na Kobe Dean. This

1609
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 2: year they doubled down with Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith

1610
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 2: in the first round, Keeley Ringo later in the draft.

1611
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 2: Not to say that it's only Georgia Bulldogs. But it's

1612
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 2: pretty darn close. But like I said, you know, I

1613
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: just think and we knew obviously the Eagles were gonna

1614
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 2: have some high draft picks because of the Carson Wentz,

1615
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 2: you know, because of the trades that they've made through

1616
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 2: the years. But to get the best player in the

1617
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 2: draft and to put him in a system where he

1618
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 2: can have success. I don't see any reason why this

1619
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 2: Eagles thing is blowing down coming off of these Super

1620
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 2: Bowl loss to Casey last year.

1621
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 3: No, I really don't either. I mean, they're making all

1622
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,520
Speaker 3: the right moves, and they've locked up their young quarterback

1623
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 3: who just seems to be in it for the long haul.

1624
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 3: And even I know he thinks he's probably right. He

1625
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 3: hadn't say it out loud, but he's like, yeah, money's important,

1626
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 3: But I mean, we're setting the stage for something special here.

1627
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: That's why you want Joe and Hurts on your football

1628
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: team in the first place. But it felt like a

1629
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 3: strategy to me because there were too many Georgia players

1630
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 3: and it's like, this can't be coincidental, so why would

1631
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 3: you do it. Well, if everybody's coming from the same

1632
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 3: pool and guys are aging out So the next generation

1633
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 3: is going to be stepping up from high school to

1634
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,759
Speaker 3: college to pros. The team that is dominated in college

1635
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 3: then comes to the pros, and you're gonna grab a

1636
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,839
Speaker 3: bunch of those guys that are already familiar with one another,

1637
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 3: and they're going to be playing against their peers. They're

1638
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 3: going to be playing against the guys that played at

1639
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 3: other schools in college lesser programs. Now there's going to

1640
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 3: be a conglomeration of factors and people in different teams.

1641
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 3: But if if you were gonna try this, now is

1642
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 3: a pretty good time because George has been real good

1643
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 3: at turning out great players. I'm surprised Stetson Bennett ended

1644
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:12,879
Speaker 3: up a ram and not Jalen Hurts backup really.

1645
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 4: Quick, you know, with so much turnover in the NFC.

1646
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 2: No Tom Brady and Tampa no, uh, you know, no

1647
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay obviously. The situation in San

1648
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Francisco remains up in the air at quarterback. Like Philadelphia

1649
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 2: is the old Well, they're the overwhelming favorite in the

1650
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 2: NFC next year, right, Like I mean, I'm trying to

1651
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: think Dallas obviously is gonna return largely intact. But Philly,

1652
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 2: like again. You know, sometimes the Super Bowl hangover thing

1653
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 2: is real. I can't see them slowing down there really quick.

1654
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 3: Jason, No, I agree with you. I mean I think

1655
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 3: I think they should come in being the prohibitive favorite

1656
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 3: in that conference. I think San Francisco will. We'll see

1657
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 3: what's going on with their quarterback scenario, but they'll be

1658
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 3: talked about a lot. But the Eagles are definitely gonna

1659
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 3: be my pick.

1660
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 2: I don't disagree, and it's early, but I can't see

1661
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 2: the scenario where they're not my pick as well. Fox

Speaker 2: In the last hour, we promised you to discuss two

1673
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: topics that no one in sports talk has discussed all

1674
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 2: of this week except for Jason Smith because he's a

1675
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 2: Jets fan. That is the signing of Aaron Rodgers with

1676
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: the Jets, Ravens resigning Lamar Jackson. Jason, are you ready

1677
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 2: to go where no sports radio talk host has gone

1678
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 2: all week long? Are you ready to do this?

1679
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 3: A man, we are nothing on this show if not Trailblazers.

1680
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 3: I feel like this is what we were made to do.

1681
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 3: It's finally time for somebody to break that seal and

1682
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,799
Speaker 3: talk about Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers.

1683
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 2: That glass ceiling is about to be shattered. Hey, really quick.

1684
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 2: It's actually funny you say that, because I there was

1685
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 2: about like four weeks in a row where like I

1686
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 2: felt like we kind of had to just work it

1687
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: into the rundown even though there was no real update, Like, so, Jason,

1688
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 2: what do you think's holding up.

1689
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 4: To Aaron Rodgers dealing?

1690
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 2: It was kind of like, oh, we all think it's

1691
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 2: gonna get kind of done around the draft and waiting

1692
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 2: for the draft picks. And Lamar was a little bit

1693
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 2: more complicated because there was the public trade demand, and

1694
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: there was the non exclusive franchise tag. But let's dive

1695
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 2: into him. We'll start with Aaron Rodgers. Maybe save Lamar

1696
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 2: Jackson for after the break, but Aaron Rodgers, he is

1697
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 2: in fact a New York Jet. He gets traded on Tuesday.

1698
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: You know, we don't have to get into the semantics

1699
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 2: of what went where. Bottom line is they swapped first round.

1700
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 2: The big big, the big piece going back to Green

1701
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 2: Bay is a second round pick next year that will

1702
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: become a first round pick assuming Aaron Rodgers plays sixty

1703
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 2: five percent of his snaps this year, which I think

1704
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 2: we all hope and expect to happen. But let's get

1705
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 2: into this because we've talked about what this trade could

1706
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 2: look like for for the last couple of weeks, last

1707
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 2: couple of months, really ever since that Pat McAfee interview

1708
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 2: where Aaron Rodgers basically said, yeah, it's really Jets or bus.

1709
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 2: That's where I plan on ben next year. Now's the

1710
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 2: time to talk about it. Jason. Is it gonna work?

1711
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 2: Is it not gonna work? A lot to dive into,

1712
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 2: but I'll just you know, I'll just toss it over

1713
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 2: to you. First reaction Aaron Rodgers is officially a Jet.

1714
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 2: What do you Where do you take it from there?

1715
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess the only problem with like where

1716
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 3: do I take it from there? Is we've had to

1717
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 3: talk about that, I know, to the round and wait

1718
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 3: for it to happen. That it's almost like all right, well,

1719
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 3: finally it's official, but we already knew it, right, Like

1720
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 3: we've seen this. I mean we've been able to kind

1721
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 3: of already look down and see what does it mean?

1722
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 3: And all these things? And you say, does this work?

1723
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 3: I guess it depends on how you define work. Like

1724
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 3: if you define success and failure the way janis Ante

1725
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 3: Tekunmpo does, that will be a little bit different than

1726
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:22,600
Speaker 3: I think Jets fans who need to measure their expectations

1727
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 3: a little bit at least, because this is not Aaron

1728
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 3: Rodgers from five years ago. This is an Aaron Rodgers

1729
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 3: who has struggled in the playoffs. It's an Aaron Rodgers

1730
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 3: that's increasingly aloof, and it's an Aaron Rodgers. I still

1731
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 3: want to know how dedicated he actually is to playing

1732
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 3: football at this stage in his career, earning all the

1733
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 3: money that he has, with the plans that he has

1734
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 3: after football. How many darkness retreats can a man go on?

1735
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 3: Maybe he's going to find out in the last thirty

1736
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 3: or forty years of his life. I don't know. We

1737
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 3: know what he is at his apex. We know he's

1738
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 3: still very good. But if he's not all in, if

1739
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 3: he's not in, if there's some kind of problems in

1740
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 3: the locker room or just chemistry issues or unfamiliarity, and

1741
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 3: it takes time, he's the last guy that you're gonna

1742
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 3: want a round to try and fix that problem. I

1743
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 3: just look at it and I say, well, what does

1744
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 3: work mean? If this is a failure, if they don't

1745
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl, then I'm gonna go on record

1746
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 3: and say I think it's probably more likely than not

1747
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 3: going to be a failure. Is it possible they could

1748
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl? Sure, but everything's gonna have to

1749
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 3: mesh up. And Aaron Rodgers is no longer the de

1750
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 3: facto most talented quarterback in the NFL. He's no longer

1751
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,640
Speaker 3: the most talented de facto quarterback in his own division,

1752
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 3: much less his own conference. There are a whole lot

1753
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 3: of other guys that have stepped up to the plate

1754
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 3: that are now faster that throw the ball further, that

1755
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 3: are more dedicated, more hungry. They're still trying to win

1756
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 3: their first championship or really define their legacy. It's not

1757
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 3: getting easier by moving from the NFC to the AFC.

1758
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 3: The Jets did what they had to do in their

1759
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 3: own minds, was the only move, and so this is

1760
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 3: what and when everybody else got snatched up, there was

1761
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 3: nothing else for them unless they wanted to roll out

1762
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 3: Chris Streveler and Zach Wilson again next year. And I

1763
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 3: don't think that was gonna be the case. I don't

1764
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 3: think this is gonna bring him a Super Bowl. I

1765
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 3: think Aaron Rodgers is going to go down as a

1766
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 3: one Super Bowl quarterback. But it's gonna be great for us.

1767
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 3: It's gonna be great for fans. It's gonna be great

1768
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 3: to watch, whether it's good or whether it's bad. It's

1769
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 3: going to be talked about to a degree that you're

1770
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 3: gonna be sick of it by December.

1771
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 2: Well yeah, no, And and I guess your takeaway is

1772
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 2: kind of my takeaway as well, is you know we're

1773
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 2: kind of joking about you know, nobody's talked about this

1774
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 2: but one. Obviously, this is five six days old at

1775
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 2: this point, everybody on this network has shared their opinions.

1776
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 2: But I don't think like like sometimes there's a vary,

1777
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 2: there's a there's whatever topic it is Yiannis what he

1778
01:26:54,920 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 2: said or whatever, and there's like two very interesting, unique

1779
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 2: sides to it. I don't think there's two interesting sides

1780
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 2: to the Aaron Rodgers thing. I think everybody that I've

1781
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 2: talked to, everybody that I've listened to, everybody that covers sports.

1782
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 4: For a living off feels the same way.

1783
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 2: Is that it's exactly what you just said is it

1784
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,520
Speaker 2: is an upgrade for the Jets, obviously from their situation previously.

1785
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 2: And as you said, there really were no other options

1786
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 2: when the game of musical chairs with quarterbacks came to

1787
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,679
Speaker 2: an end in whatever it was February, late February, early March.

1788
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 2: I remember, I forget when it was exactly, but it

1789
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 2: was after Jimmy Garoppolo signed with Las Vegas. I was like, well,

1790
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 2: Derek Carr spoken for Jimmy Garoppolo, spoken for a couple

1791
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 2: other guys, Baker Mayfield spoken for all that it's like

1792
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 2: there's literally nobody else for them to go get and

1793
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 2: they're not drafting a quarterback because they're not in position

1794
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 2: to get one of the guys that they need to

1795
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 2: be a difference maker, let alone the fact that they

1796
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: already have a quarterback on a rookie contract with Zach Wilson,

1797
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 2: And so you knew this was coming. And I'm with you.

1798
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any like super unique interesting take.

1799
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 2: It's it's it's he's I still think a talented quarterback.

1800
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 2: He was banged up this year. But not only is he,

1801
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 2: you know, forty years old at this point, are about

1802
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 2: to be forty. But as you said, he hasn't been

1803
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 2: dedicated in the offseason, and so how dedicated is he

1804
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 2: going to be? How calm will he be when his

1805
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 2: young receivers run the wrong route or do whatever, or

1806
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 2: do this.

1807
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 4: But I also will say this, James.

1808
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 2: The only the only take that that I have outside

1809
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 2: of this credit to the NFL, because what I will

1810
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 2: say is that this league, I think better than any

1811
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 2: other sport, maybe any other entertainment enterprise. It just there's

1812
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 2: always new things that create interest in this sport and

1813
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 2: the Jets. You know, ever since we kind of figured

1814
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 2: out Zach Wilson was who a lot of us thought

1815
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: he was, gonna be. There wasn't really a reason to

1816
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 2: watch the Jets, and now the Jets are must watch TV. Like,

1817
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know who they're gonna open with

1818
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 2: or what they're but I think the stat I forget

1819
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 2: what it was, but they haven't played I think a

1820
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 2: Monday night game in this long and theyn played a

1821
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 2: Sunday night game and that long. They are now must

1822
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 2: watch TV along with a bunch of other teams. And

1823
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 2: so that's really my only takeaway. I'm worried about it.

1824
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 2: It's the wrong conference. There's too many good quarterbacks. I

1825
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 2: don't think you're gonna be able to get through Mahomes

1826
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 2: and Burrow and Lawrence and Allen all in the same postseason.

1827
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have to play all of them, but

1828
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to probably play minimum of two, probably three.

1829
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 2: But it just makes another team that you absolutely want

1830
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 2: to watch and you're absolutely fascinated by, and that is

1831
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 2: certainly the case with this Jets team going forward.

1832
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big win for the city of New York.

1833
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 3: It's a big win for the National Football League because

1834
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 3: it does These are starve fans, but they're you know,

1835
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 3: they're dedicated fans, even though they have had their hearts

1836
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:49,679
Speaker 3: broken for years and years and years, and now they've

1837
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 3: got this guy that comes in and people are gonna

1838
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 3: write about the Jets continuously. They're gonna talk about the

1839
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 3: Jets continuously. It's just it's gonna be never ending and

1840
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 3: it's gonna be good. Like it's gonna be a fun

1841
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 3: circus to watch. If it works, man, it could work great.

1842
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Garrett Wilson is an incredible player. Alan Lazard

1843
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 3: is really good. He doesn't have to be anywhere close

1844
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,799
Speaker 3: to a number one when you've got a Garrett Wilson

1845
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 3: type there. The Jets had a solid defense last year.

1846
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 3: Sala I like Sala as a coach. Brisall comes back

1847
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 3: off the injury and he could run the football for you.

1848
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,679
Speaker 3: You like that problem is Miami's got a ton of talent.

1849
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 3: Buffalo's got a ton of talent. We don't really need

1850
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 3: to discuss the Patriots right now in that conversation. And then,

1851
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 3: of course, the rest of the conference is a bear.

1852
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 3: They're going to be in the mix of teams that

1853
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 3: are going to be tantalizing. I will not call them

1854
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 3: contenders until we get to December and they're sitting at

1855
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,120
Speaker 3: ten and four or something like that, and we have

1856
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 3: enough of a sample size to actually see what this

1857
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 3: looks like. I understand why if you're the Jets, this

1858
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 3: is a move that you feel like you needed to make.

1859
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 3: I don't think it was a bad decision them, but

1860
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 3: it could easily go the Kyrie Irving routes and not

1861
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 3: the Matthew Stafford.

1862
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 2: Route really quickly.

1863
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 4: How much longer you think? I mean, obviously we.

1864
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 2: Talked about the contingent conditional second round pick that becomes

1865
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,600
Speaker 2: a first rounder. He's obviously gonna play this year. How

1866
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 2: much longer do you think he's got only because you know,

1867
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 2: I think we all know the windows very small, But

1868
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 2: do you think the Jets can at least get maybe

1869
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 2: two good years out of him? Maybe a third you

1870
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 2: know plays a third Or do you think it's it's

1871
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 2: you better put all your chips in your basket for

1872
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 2: this week or for this year, because if you don't,

1873
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 2: there might not be a second year.

1874
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,799
Speaker 3: I think the question, I think it's an impossible question

1875
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 3: to answer because I think it's dependent on one factor

1876
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 3: that we actually have to watch play out throughout the

1877
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 3: course of this coming season, and that's this is Aaron

1878
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 3: Rodgers still having fun. Yeah, if he has fun and

1879
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 3: he likes being around that team and they have some success,

1880
01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 3: especially if they get close and don't get there, but

1881
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 3: they're not a disaster, and he just looks like, man,

1882
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,280
Speaker 3: the fresh start is exactly what he needs, and he

1883
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 3: looks a little bit and I don't mean championship level

1884
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:11,799
Speaker 3: but because that's just asking too much. If he does it,

1885
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 3: it'll be incredible. But Tom and Tampa Bay that year,

1886
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 3: and how much fun he looked like he was having

1887
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 3: playing football. If Aaron Rodgers goes there and it rekindles

1888
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 3: the love that he had earlier in his career for

1889
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 3: the game before all the stuff that was going on

1890
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 3: behind the scenes with the Green Bay Packers organization and

1891
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 3: getting in his own head and all the stuff that

1892
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 3: went down that we all know and we don't have

1893
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,280
Speaker 3: to recite and go back to. If he escapes that,

1894
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 3: he finds a fresh start. He likes the guys that

1895
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 3: he's around, he sees potential in them, and he's having fun. Yeah,

1896
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 3: I think he comes back for a second year. If

1897
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 3: it doesn't go well and he just looks half dead

1898
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 3: out there, I think he's gonna be done after one year.

1899
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 4: It's gonna be fascinating to watch.

1900
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 2: And again, I think that window is what makes it

1901
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 2: so interesting because obviously, look it's not a huge window,

1902
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 2: but can you get two years, can you get that

1903
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 2: third year like Tampa got with Tom Brady. It remains

1904
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 2: to be seen, But again it's it. I just don't

1905
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 2: think there's a unique angle on it that hasn't already

1906
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: been discussed, not only by people in the last couple

1907
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 2: of days. But like you said, Jason, we've been talking

1908
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 2: about this thing for essentially, you know, four or five

1909
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:21,720
Speaker 2: months now, and really especially the last since we knew

1910
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 2: it was gonna be the Jets, probably about the last

1911
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 2: six to eight weeks. But it will be interesting to

1912
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,600
Speaker 2: see and as I said, we got another team that

1913
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 2: will be must watch TV.

1914
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 4: In the NFL.

Speaker 2: be in Baltimore for a long time. We discussed that

Speaker 2: com slash match talking about doubled, tripled, quadrupled. Lamar Jackson

1931
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 2: a lot richer since the last time we talked about him, Jason.

1932
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 2: Another ongoing saga came to an end this week, right

1933
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 2: before the NFL Draft. Lamar Jackson agrees to a five year,

1934
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty million dollars contract. The noteworthy number

1935
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 2: in this is that he did not get one the

1936
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty million guaranteed that he was hoping for,

1937
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 2: which would have matched to Sean Watson. But he did

1938
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 2: get a hundred we read eighty five million guaranteed which

1939
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 2: I believe puts him at third all time, behind only

1940
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson. And this has been the

1941
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 2: top of conversation, right is, and I think part of it,

1942
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 2: and we've discussed this, Jason, is because Lamar doesn't have representation,

1943
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 2: and no, we're not. We don't have to relitigate all that.

1944
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think most people even knew, like

1945
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:24,639
Speaker 2: what does what does Lamar want here?

1946
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 4: So we found out the answer.

1947
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't the most guaranteed money, or at least he

1948
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 2: at some point realized he wasn't gonna get it. He

1949
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 2: is now by technicality, the highest paid player in terms

1950
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 2: of total contract dollars, but then also or non in

1951
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 2: terms of total contract dollars, I apologize, but in terms

1952
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 2: of annual salary, he will now make fifty two million

1953
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:50,000
Speaker 2: dollars a year more than Jalen Hurts. Lamar Jackson, by technicality,

1954
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 2: is the highest paid quarterback in NFL history.

1955
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 3: Jason, Good for Lamar, happy for him. I'm glad that

1956
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 3: this whole thing has worked out. I was getting tired

1957
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 3: of talking about this one. I'm sure you were. We

1958
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 3: all were. We just want to see Lamar Jackson play

1959
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:06,680
Speaker 3: football again, and we didn't get a lot of that

1960
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 3: last year, and things got sour real fast, and it

1961
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 3: looked like maybe he had played his last down in

1962
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 3: Baltimore and he was gonna sit out of a playoff

1963
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 3: game and all these other things. The only thing I'll

1964
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 3: say is this, Now, a lot of people came out

1965
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 3: to them praise Lamar Jackson because, oh, look at what

1966
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 3: he did without an agent. I mean, an agent probably

1967
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 3: could have gotten this done easier, and an agent probably

1968
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 3: could have gotten maybe could have gotten it more. I

1969
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 3: don't know. But he did a good job, all right.

1970
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 3: He won in this case. He ended up with a

1971
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,599
Speaker 3: lot of money. He's gonna he's set for life, his

1972
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 3: family set for life, their families are set for life,

1973
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 3: their future families are set for life. They're in good

1974
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 3: shape here. The one thing I will say is I

1975
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 3: do think it damaged him a little bits of public reputation,

1976
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 3: and just in how you look at Lamar Jackson, maybe

1977
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 3: it's different, and maybe that's unfair, right Like, I just

1978
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 3: feel like a lot of this could have been done

1979
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 3: behind closed doors and you get to the same result.

1980
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:58,599
Speaker 3: I think this is one of those where it's like, well,

1981
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,639
Speaker 3: what's going on with Lamar Jackson. We just haven't heard

1982
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:02,479
Speaker 3: anything yet, but I assume they're going to work it out,

1983
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 3: and eventually you work it out the way this played

1984
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,839
Speaker 3: out going on Twitter and I made a trade demand

1985
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 3: on this date, and all of the stuff and all

1986
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 3: the speculation and the weird stuff about not having an

1987
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 3: agent and then having somebody represents you that wasn't official

1988
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 3: to the NFLPA so it could avoid a deal, and

1989
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 3: all this stuff like it seemed like what was playing

1990
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:28,719
Speaker 3: out in public reflected poorly on Lamar Jackson. It ends

1991
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 3: up being fine, it ends up being good, and we'll

1992
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:34,599
Speaker 3: forget about this, I think, probably for the most part.

1993
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 3: But it just seems like this could have been done

1994
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 3: in a much more professional, behind the scenes manner where

1995
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 3: Lamar's not tarnished in any way. And maybe I'm the

1996
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 3: only one who thinks that there are people out there

1997
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 3: that will kind of look at him a bit differently

1998
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 3: because of kind of how he behaved at different times

1999
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 3: through this. I just don't think this needed to play

2000
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:57,679
Speaker 3: out in public, if that makes sense.

2001
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 2: I no, I agree, it's especially for the end result,

2002
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 2: which is I mean, you know, listen, he got ten

2003
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 2: more million than Jalen Hurts. If Jalen Hurts doesn't sign

2004
01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 2: that contract, you know, does he get that exact dollar amount?

2005
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, right, And so who am I to say, oh,

2006
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 2: who cares about ten million dollars because that's obviously life

2007
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:19,640
Speaker 2: changing money even in its own right, let alone the

2008
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 2: totality of what he got and guaranteed money. I guess

2009
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 2: what I would just say is like, I don't know,

2010
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 2: like he held out for what to be the highest

2011
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 2: paid player by technicality until the next guy signs an

2012
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 2: hour later. You know, Jalen Hurts was at one point

2013
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 2: the highest play paid quarterback in the NFL, and then

2014
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson passed him, and now somebody else is gonna

2015
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,719
Speaker 2: pass Lamar Jackson, and so again, you know, it's again,

2016
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 2: it's easy for me to say, hey, who cares about

2017
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 2: ten million dollars? But you know, Jalen Hurts got essentially

2018
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 2: the same contract without any harm to his reputation, to

2019
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 2: his relationship with his fan base, to his relationship with

2020
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 2: his front office, his ownership, his head coaching staff, or

2021
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 2: his coaching staff, excuse me whatever. And so, like you said,

2022
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 2: you know, when Lamar runs through that tunnel for the

2023
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 2: first time, everybody's going to be cheering for him for

2024
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: the most part, but I do still think there is

2025
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 2: going to be a small percentage of people that was

2026
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 2: going to be in his corner that are no longer anymore.

2027
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 2: Whether it's fans, I think ownership front office has a

2028
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:19,519
Speaker 2: little bit of a different view. And at the end

2029
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 2: of the day, listen, if you produce and you perform,

2030
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. But like I said, you know, for

2031
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 2: the end result of what he got, like, it just

2032
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 2: felt like there was a lot of negativity to get

2033
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,760
Speaker 2: to that point where again Jalen Hurts essentially signed the

2034
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 2: exact same contract without any of the bad blood, without

2035
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 2: anybody feeling like they.

2036
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 4: Were wronged or they were this or they were that,

2037
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 4: or there was.

2038
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 2: Friction or there was a trade demand or whatever. So listen,

2039
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 2: Lamar got the end result that he wanted. I'm not

2040
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 2: here to criticize and I'm certainly not here to begrudge

2041
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,679
Speaker 2: anybody for holding out for the money that they thought

2042
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 2: they were worth. But it did come at a cost,

2043
01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:59,600
Speaker 2: not literally but metaphorically with his relationship now with the

2044
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 2: fan base.

2045
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 3: Again, I mean, we're not naive enough to say to

2046
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 3: you or to believe that negotiation isn't ugly. We've all

2047
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 3: been through it in some part of exactly it's gross

2048
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,759
Speaker 3: and the agent. We talked about this before the agent

2049
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 3: can sanitize before it gets to you what's being told

2050
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 3: to the agent, because generally what the other side of

2051
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 3: the table is doing is knocking you and explaining why

2052
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 3: you're not worth what you want to be paid. The

2053
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 3: reason we can't pay you is because of this, and

2054
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 3: because you missed this time, and because your completion percentage

2055
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 3: could have been here. And then you bring in all

2056
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:34,519
Speaker 3: the analytics and you put out all the evidence that

2057
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 3: you can to convict your defendant in that case. But

2058
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 3: if negotiation is such an ugly business, that's why you

2059
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 3: do it behind closed doors. It's the same thing like

2060
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 3: if things are going bad in your home, a lot

2061
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:54,839
Speaker 3: of that stuff's happening inside your home. It's not necessarily

2062
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 3: happening out in public. By the time it happens out

2063
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 3: in public, it's probably been going on in your home

2064
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 3: for a very very long time. It just the whole thing,

2065
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 3: like if we had heard nothing at all. But I'm

2066
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 3: sure it'll get worked out. Even with sort of the

2067
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 3: injury and some of the things that are happening late

2068
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 3: in the season and you get to the same result.

2069
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 3: I think you're better off today. That said, Lamar ends

2070
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 3: up getting he didn't get a fully guaranteed contract, but

2071
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he actually thought he ever was going

2072
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 3: to And if you really sit down and think about

2073
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 3: it or talk to by anybody, they're going to tell

2074
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:31,640
Speaker 3: you just how foolish what the Browns did was and

2075
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 3: how that was just not a thing that was going

2076
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 3: to continue. And there are some teams, I think, and

2077
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 3: I saw Bill Barmewell ESPN suggest this as well. There

2078
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 3: are some teams that don't look at Lamar as a

2079
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 3: complete quarterback right now. They don't look at him as

2080
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 3: somebody they feel like they can trust because of a

2081
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 3: combination of his playing style and his propensity to not

2082
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 3: be available because of that playing style, and how much

2083
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 3: he needs all of those things, even if he has

2084
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 3: developed a lot as a passer in the last few

2085
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 3: years where he hasn't had success in the playoffs and

2086
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 3: all this, but ultimately it ends fine. It's good Baltimore

2087
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 3: didn't need to move on from him. It's better for

2088
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 3: the league. He stays in Baltimore. He fits there. Everything works.

2089
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 3: The fans are happy he's back, I'm sure. I just

2090
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 3: think that the ride that was taken here could have

2091
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 3: been much simpler, and it seemed like the GPS led

2092
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 3: them on a bunch of detours they didn't need to

2093
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,560
Speaker 3: take in order to get to the same destination.

2094
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 2: Don't disagree, And like I said, is that exactly what

2095
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 2: you just said?

2096
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 7: Is that.

2097
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 2: For the end result of a couple more dollars than

2098
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. It just feels like there was a lot

2099
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 2: of bad publicity that probably could have been avoided. But again,

2100
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 2: if he comes out and plays like an MVP next year,

2101
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 2: I think most people will get over it. And now

2102
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:46,640
Speaker 2: it's just gonna stay healthy. So it'll be interesting to

2103
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,679
Speaker 2: watch unfold, interesting to watch on fold. Fox Sports Radio

2104
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 2: Aeron Torres, Jason Martin coming up. I do want to

2105
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:54,960
Speaker 2: go back to the NFL draft, Jason. We talked about

2106
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts, the Tennessee Titans. How about them Houston

2107
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 2: Texans out of the AFC. We'll discuss that next for

2108
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 2: do though, toss it over the news desk Steve de Sager,

2109
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 2: what is trending?

2110
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 3: Well?

2111
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 6: You gentlemen did note early in the show the craziness

2112
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:12,120
Speaker 6: for Toronto fans because the Maple Leafs actually won an

2113
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 6: NHL playoff series for the first time since two thousand

2114
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 6: and four, nearly twenty years ago. Got an overtime two

2115
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 6: to one win at Tampa Bay in Game six, eliminating

2116
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:26,959
Speaker 6: the lightning. Thousands of people have been out about towns, celebrating, cheering,

2117
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,519
Speaker 6: and climbing street lights and such. At one point, Toronto

2118
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 6: Transit tonight sent out an alert that all downtown bus

2119
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 6: and streetcar routes there were experiencing major delays quote due

2120
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 6: to traffic and pedestrian congestion due to the celebration stemming

2121
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 6: from the Leafs Round one victory. Go Leafs, go end quote.

2122
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:49,639
Speaker 6: The Toronto Maple Leafs the first team in NHL history

2123
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 6: to in a single playoff series, have three overtime road wins.

2124
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in the.

2125
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,799
Speaker 6: Late game in Downtown LA, the Kings have been gifted

2126
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:01,880
Speaker 6: the tying goal. It's four or four against Edmonton under

2127
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 6: eight minutes to go in regulation. Oiler's goalie fanned on

2128
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 6: a clearing pass, handing Los Angeles the tying tally. Oilers

2129
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:12,799
Speaker 6: lead this first round series at the moment three games

2130
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,799
Speaker 6: to two. The Rangers have forced a game seven Monday

2131
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 6: in New Jersey, beating the Devils five to two Tonight

2132
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 6: one NBA playoff game. This opened the second round. Denver,

2133
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 6: one seed in the West, beat Phoenix one twenty five

2134
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,720
Speaker 6: to one oh seven. Nuggets scored sixty eight points in

2135
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 6: the first half. Jamal Murray finished with thirty four points

2136
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:35,639

Speaker 6: where you go at least seven innings and allow two

2152
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:29,040

Speaker 2: Did see that XFL game, by the way, on when

2175
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 2: I walked in the studio, Jason, I'll give you one

2176
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 2: hundred dollars if you can name the two head coaches

2177
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 2: of that XFL game. They are two names that you

2178
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't know. Disagre Well, I can't confirm that the second

2179
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 2: one is definitely head coach.

2180
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:54,600
Speaker 4: I think he is. Let me look it up, but

2181
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 4: Bob Stoops.

2182
01:46:55,800 --> 01:47:02,679
Speaker 2: Bob Stoops is won one of the Texas teams Arlington. Okay,

2183
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:08,680
Speaker 2: we could say that, and Rob Stoops, Rob Stoops his

2184
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 2: identical twin brothers that nobody knows about, is not the

2185
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 2: other one, the head coach of the Houston Roughnecks, Wade Phillips.

2186
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Actually that I was

2187
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 3: flipping through channels or something and I saw the XFL

2188
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 3: game was on, and I continued moving and found the

2189
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 3: Dodgers Cardinals, and then I found my recording of SmackDown

2190
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 3: from a few days ago, and then I looked at

2191
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 3: the MLB network to see what was going on there,

2192
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 3: and all there were press conferences on NBA TV. But

2193
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,880
Speaker 3: I did give the XFL like a second and a

2194
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 3: half of ratings airtime tonight, at least from my channel.

2195
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 3: Not a Neils you know, But yeah, yeah, I'm aware

2196
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 3: they said for a second season. Did you know?

2197
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:55,439
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Did you know it was a

2198
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 2: divisional round weekend or any Oh?

2199
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 3: Lord no, I didn't even realize that until the sager

2200
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 3: just said it. I just knew there was an XFL

2201
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,640
Speaker 3: game on the stay. I didn't stay long enough to

2202
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 3: see a chirn tell me that there was a playoff situation.

2203
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 6: There should be up in the corner constantly on the channel,

2204
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 6: don't you think at this point?

2205
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:11,840
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2206
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 3: And maybe it was. I mean I don't think that

2207
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 3: I gave it enough time to have seen the entire

2208
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 3: screen real estate, so it may have actually been there.

2209
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 3: I don't They may have had great branding. I was

2210
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:26,639
Speaker 3: not focused on staying there long enough, and the bottom

2211
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 3: half of my screen was blocked out with the channel

2212
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 3: I was then going to in a description of something

2213
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 3: that was actually relevant.

2214
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 2: I was there long enough to see Wade Phillips on

2215
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 2: the screen, not long enough to confirm if he was

2216
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:38,519
Speaker 2: actually the head coach or not. He could have been

2217
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator. I don't know, but but yeah, Wade

2218
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:43,639
Speaker 2: Phillips is apparently the head coach. Had to google that.

2219
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:45,679
Speaker 6: That's appropriate, you know, bum Phillips Houston.

2220
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they need coaches, right, I mean there's

2221
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:49,639
Speaker 2: only thirty two NFL.

2222
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:53,760
Speaker 6: There's no XFL next weekend, people, so get your fill now.

2223
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:54,559
Speaker 2: Really?

2224
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's two weeks is the title game?

2225
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I've got a rained out Mets Braves game

2226
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 3: to tune into and then watch like repeats of Braves

2227
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:05,960
Speaker 3: Royals from two weeks ago. I don't think I'm going

2228
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 3: to make it to the XFL broadcast.

2229
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 2: So first of all, by the way, guys, I have

2230
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 2: not told you this, but I'm actually not going to

2231
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 2: be in next week. I'm gonna be on vacation. So

2232
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,120
Speaker 2: it's good to know that I will be back in

2233
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 2: time for the XFL Championship game, which also falls on

2234
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:18,679
Speaker 2: Mother's day.

2235
01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 6: I mean when I tell Mom Saturday Night Championship.

2236
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 3: Oh, it is the Mother of All championship.

2237
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:26,599
Speaker 6: It's probably going to go up against something small like.

2238
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 2: Martin Fox Sports Radio.

2239
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, see who's going to the conference finals.

2240
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean I might have to call out on the

2241
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 2: second Saturday as well. I mean to watch the championship game.

2242
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 3: Do you think we could watch it and do the

2243
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:43,600
Speaker 3: first hour of the show exclusively analyzing the XFL Championship

2244
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 3: game and still retain our jobs twenty four hours later,

2245
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,280
Speaker 3: or at least not receive a sternly worded email from

2246
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 3: the higher up.

2247
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 2: If we just went all in, like, yeah, we go

2248
01:49:56,320 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 2: live to our stringer on the scene there. That is

2249
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 2: why quarterback Luis Perez was so good. Yeah, as I

2250
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 2: say it, yeah, we have like somebody on the scene

2251
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 2: breaking it all down.

2252
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be pretty funny.

2253
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 6: I have Josh Gordon play for Seattle. He could be

2254
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 6: in that final.

2255
01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 2: There's some comments I can make that I'm just not

2256
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 2: going to. But but anyway.

2257
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 3: I should appreciate you for that, Aaron, Thank you for

2258
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 3: not to saga.

2259
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:26,679
Speaker 2: By the way, what do you got next segment? Because

2260
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna talk Texans football is what

2261
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 2: we've got.

2262
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 6: Okay, We've got a lot of NFL. It's been a

2263
01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 6: big NFL week, as you mentioned, and not just the

2264
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:36,559
Speaker 6: DeAndre Swift trade to the Eagles. Man, there were a

2265
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 6: ton of trades this week.

2266
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 3: There were forty three of them.

2267
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 6: Right, it was a record, was it? Not the trades

2268
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:44,320
Speaker 6: of picks, But we had rounds four through seven. We'll

2269
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 6: get to highlights and plenty of college quarterbacks taken today

2270
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 6: on the four rounds of Saturday.

2271
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 2: Very quickly, Jason, do you want to do your Hendon

2272
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 2: Hooker take? We mentioned Hendon Hooker. I don't know if

2273
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 2: we'll have time for it later. So what do you

2274
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 2: got on Hendon Hooker? I mean, I just think I.

2275
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 3: Think that was a great value for the Lions when

2276
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 3: they took him. I mean, golf's gonna play fine this

2277
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 3: year for them. But if he were to go down,

2278
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 3: I mane, I like Hendon Hooker better than I like

2279
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,719
Speaker 3: Will Levis me too, I'm not kidding you. And when

2280
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 3: you were seeing guys moving up and trading and all this,

2281
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 3: I suggested to some Titans fans that used to work

2282
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 3: in the media with me, I was just like, if

2283
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 3: it was me, I would trade down out of eleven

2284
01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 3: if I was considering a quarterback at three and moving up,

2285
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:26,639
Speaker 3: because Bryce Young's the only one I'm moving up for,

2286
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 3: and Panthers already did that, so I'm not getting up

2287
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,799
Speaker 3: there outside of that. If somebody's sitting there at eleven,

2288
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm gonna take that. I'd rather see

2289
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:36,760
Speaker 3: if somebody else wants to jump up and either take

2290
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:39,639
Speaker 3: one of those guys or take another position player. I'm

2291
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 3: gonna drop into the twenties and take Hendon Hooker. Now,

2292
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 3: Hooker ended up being taken much later than that, but

2293
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:49,320
Speaker 3: think about this. The Titans moved up eight spots to

2294
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 3: take Will Levis, and then Hooker was still there, long

2295
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,320
Speaker 3: past the pick they would have had at forty one.

2296
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if Levis would have been, but I

2297
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:01,880
Speaker 3: believe Hendon Hooker is likely to have a better pro

2298
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:05,639
Speaker 3: career than Will Levis after he comes back from the injury.

2299
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, really quick. But by the way, I agree,

2300
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 2: I've said that from day one, real quick. I understand

2301
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 2: some of the context was needed at the time that

2302
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:18,559
Speaker 2: the Lions would eventually trade Jamiir Gibbs, but our trade

2303
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift. But while we're on the topic, I found

2304
01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:27,800
Speaker 2: the Jamiir Gibbs commentary very weird to me, Like it

2305
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:31,760
Speaker 2: was like people were appalled that Jamiir Gibbs went Round one.

2306
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:34,360
Speaker 2: And again, I'm not a NFL draft expert. You know,

2307
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:36,599
Speaker 2: we watch a lot of college football in this time slot,

2308
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 2: but this is a guy. When he transferred from Georgia Tech,

2309
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,559
Speaker 2: people said, Okay, this is a first round type talent.

2310
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:45,040
Speaker 2: He was by far Alabama's best skill position guy outside

2311
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 2: of Bryce Young this year. He catches the ball in

2312
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 2: the backfield, he runs between the tackles and the lions.

2313
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:54,720
Speaker 2: As weird as it sounds like they don't really have

2314
01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 2: that many needs, They've They've addressed the offensive line, the

2315
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 2: defensive line in the draft, all that and finally, oh,

2316
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 2: by the way, half of their skill position corps got

2317
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 2: suspended last week for the gambling probe. I know some

2318
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:11,360
Speaker 2: of them aren't for the entire season. Like that was

2319
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 2: one I didn't understand the backlash on it, and it

2320
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:16,680
Speaker 2: just felt like there were a lot of people that

2321
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,639
Speaker 2: were like appalled that Dan Campbell would use a first

2322
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 2: round pick on Jamiir Gibbs.

2323
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 3: I think you could have probably gotten him later. Sure,

2324
01:53:24,640 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 3: I think maybe that is a fair critique. Jamiir Gibbs

2325
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 3: was jump off the screen impressive to me last year

2326
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,640
Speaker 3: throughout the college football season. I love Devin h h.

2327
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be good for Miami, but I

2328
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 3: think Jamiir Gibbs he's special. Like the way he moves.

2329
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 3: I was impressed with him, I really was. I didn't

2330
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:43,840
Speaker 3: know what they were gonna do with Swift either, and

2331
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 3: you ended up finding that out. I think the thing

2332
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 3: that surprised me and then we'll get to break so

2333
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:49,640
Speaker 3: we can have plenty of time with Steve. On the

2334
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 3: other side is the fact that you had two running

2335
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 3: backs go and no wide receivers have been taken the

2336
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:58,560
Speaker 3: way this league is supposed to be trending towards quarterback

2337
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 3: to top flight wide receiver. You can't make a Super

2338
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 3: Bowl if you don't have a Tyreek Hill or a

2339
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:07,080
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey or Jamar Chase or one of those kind

2340
01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:10,479
Speaker 3: of guys. It's all about the wide receivers. This year,

2341
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:13,600
Speaker 3: you get Bijon Robinson, who I think everybody loves, and

2342
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 3: then Gibbs was such a surprise that I think when

2343
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:18,800
Speaker 3: you've got a heck on your face to that deriar

2344
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 3: or media like, well, that's a reach, that's a terrible pick.

2345
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 3: So I think it's a little bit unfair to Gibbs

2346
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:26,639
Speaker 3: and he's gonna give his opportunity to do his thing.

2347
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 3: I was impressed with him at Alabama. I can see,

2348
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 3: especially with the move that they made with Swift, that

2349
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 3: they had a larger plan in mind and they were like, hey,

2350
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 3: we got a player from Georgia. I bet we can

2351
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:37,640
Speaker 3: deal with the Eagles.

2352
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 2: That's a good counterpoint. Yeah, well just if we want

2353
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:42,760
Speaker 2: to get rid of we'll just call the Eagles.

2354
01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2355
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:45,040
Speaker 2: It was just one. I mean, and especially like you

2356
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 2: look back at Detroit last year, it was such a

2357
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 2: potent offense. It's like, oh, you can add a you know,

2358
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 2: a skill position guy to that offense. Like, I don't know,

2359
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 2: I just I didn't really get that. By the way,

2360
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll discuss later, but b Jon Robinson,

2361
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 2: that was one I get the talent, I don't necessarily

2362
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:03,760
Speaker 2: get the fit. Maybe we talk about that in now.

2380
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 6: was at Hockey Night in Canada, Toronto won in overtime

2381
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 6: on the road to actually clinch a playoff series win,

2382
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 6: and now Edmonton has just won a Game six on

2383
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 6: the road to claim a series win five to four

2384
01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 6: in La, eliminating the Kings on a goal with about

2385
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:08,160
Speaker 6: three minutes left. Earlier in the third, Edmonton had tied

2386
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,560
Speaker 6: the game as the goalie whiffed on a clearing pass

2387
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 6: and handed the puck to LA to make it four

2388
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 6: to four. On that shot turned out on replay the

2389
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:18,120
Speaker 6: goalie stick broke trying to make the pass, but it

2390
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 6: wound up not costing them in Edmonton advances. Now to

2391
01:56:21,320 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 6: the NFL. As the draft had rounds four through seven.

2392
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 6: Today it is complete and just for the record, these

2393
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 6: who called mister irrelevant. Final selection made by the Rams

2394
01:56:31,200 --> 01:56:35,440

Speaker 6: and Purdue quarterback eight and o'cove Donald was drafted by

2404
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 6: including UCLA's Dorian Thompson Robinson to the Cleveland Browns. Apparently

2405
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 6: his eight years of eligibility is up with the Bruins.

2406
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:20,520

01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:35,720
Speaker 6: back Douce Vaughan went to the Dallas Cowboys. His dad

2411
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 6: works in the Dallas scouting department and got to make

2412
01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:41,000
Speaker 6: the call to his son saying, how would you like

2413
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:43,560
Speaker 6: to join me at work? That was really good?

2414
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,040
Speaker 3: Did a son then say, I mean, I guess.

2415
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd rather go to Washington something like that.

2416
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 2: No, I just thought it kind of sucked he could

2417
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 2: be with his son on draft day, but I guess

2418
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 2: the alternative is one, it is his job, and then

2419
01:57:56,440 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 2: two we got to make the call.

2420
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 6: He was in the crowded Cowboys office today. Seventh round,

2421
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 6: Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh to the Seahawks, and the

2422

2423
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 6: Max dug And there are undrafted free agent signings to

2424

Speaker 6: US was tournament MVP as the Americans won the gold

2442
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 6: inwea Wow, How long was that twenty fourteen, and Kevin

2443
01:59:25,480 --> 01:59:29,000
Speaker 6: Durant was tournament MVP as the US won the gold

2444
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 6: against Turkey in Turkey in twenty ten. Also past MVPs

2445
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:37,040

2447
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 6: won bronze in two thousand and two. I remember that

2448
01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 6: because the US hosted I think finished fifth or six

2449
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 6: plays that year when the NBA guys joined. Shack was

2450

2475
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:23,720
Speaker 2: should be. We talked a little bit Jason earlier about

2476
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,600
Speaker 2: the Nuggets taking care of Phoenix in game one. If

2477
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:29,560
Speaker 2: you missed any of that, everyone can go back and

2478
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 2: download the podcast. Don't know that there's like an amazing takeaway.

2479
02:01:33,440 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 2: It is only game one, but Phoenix, of course, the

2480
02:01:35,720 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 2: trouble continues as they lack depth and really just talent

2481
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:42,960
Speaker 2: off of the bench, and I think that was on

2482
02:01:43,040 --> 02:01:47,040
Speaker 2: display against the Los Angeles Clippers here in that previous series.

2483
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:49,000
Speaker 4: It bites, it rears its ugly head.

2484
02:01:49,040 --> 02:01:52,560
Speaker 2: It bites Phoenix tonight, and Denver takes care of game

2485
02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:57,920
Speaker 2: one tomorrow. Two games one is a game one, also

2486
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:01,360
Speaker 2: a Game seven between Sacramento and Golden State. But that

2487
02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:04,400
Speaker 2: game one that precedes it is you know, you talk

2488
02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:08,240
Speaker 2: about being a child of the nineties, Nix and Heat

2489
02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Game one tomorrow, we ja, So we'll talk about that

2490
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 2: after Martin Medina. But what I want to why I

2491
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:16,880
Speaker 2: bring it up is because obviously the Heat are here

2492
02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:20,960
Speaker 2: as an eight seed after taking care of business in

2493
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:24,640
Speaker 2: the last round against the Milwaukee Bucks. And so again

2494
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 2: it's a topic that's been discussed all week, but we

2495
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 2: obviously haven't had a chance to talk about it. Is

2496
02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:34,280
Speaker 2: some of those comments that Jannis Antennakupo made following following

2497
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 2: that loss in the opening round. It's worth noting, of course,

2498
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:40,840
Speaker 2: that Giannis was hurt, hurt his back and missed a

2499
02:02:40,880 --> 02:02:43,919
Speaker 2: significant amount of that time. But it didn't a significant

2500
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:45,680
Speaker 2: amount of that series. Excuse me, but it did not

2501
02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 2: stop Miami from winning in overtime in Game five to

2502
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:53,600
Speaker 2: clinch the series on Wednesday night and afterwards. I know

2503
02:02:53,680 --> 02:02:55,360
Speaker 2: many people have heard it by now, but for those

2504
02:02:55,400 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 2: who haven't, a very interesting exchange between Giannis and a reporter.

2505
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:01,080
Speaker 3: Do you view the season is a failure?

2506
02:03:01,640 --> 02:03:04,600
Speaker 8: You asked me the same question last year. Eric, Okay,

2507
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 8: do you get a promotion every year on your job?

2508
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 2: No?

2509
02:03:07,760 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 8: Right, So every year you work is a failure, yes

2510
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:13,560
Speaker 8: or no. No, Every year you work, you work towards

2511
02:03:13,680 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 8: something twoards ago, right, which is to get a promotion,

2512
02:03:17,360 --> 02:03:20,520
Speaker 8: to be able to take care of your family, provide

2513
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:22,560
Speaker 8: the house for them, or take care of your parents.

2514
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 8: You work towards. It's not a failure. It steps to success.

2515
02:03:26,840 --> 02:03:30,160
Speaker 8: Michael Jordan played fifteen years, one six championship. The other

2516
02:03:30,240 --> 02:03:32,360
Speaker 8: nine years was a failure. That's what you're telling me.

2517
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:35,680
Speaker 8: I'm asking your question, yes or no? Okay exactly, So

2518
02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:37,760
Speaker 8: why you ask me that question? It's the wrong question.

2519
02:03:38,120 --> 02:03:41,360
Speaker 8: There's no failure in sports. You know, there's good days,

2520
02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 8: bad days. Some days you are able to be successful

2521
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:46,680
Speaker 8: so that you're not. Some days it's your turn, some

2522
02:03:46,720 --> 02:03:49,240
Speaker 8: days's not your turn. And that's what sports about. You

2523
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:52,080
Speaker 8: don't always win. Some other other people are gonna win,

2524
02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 8: and this year somebody else is gonna win.

2525
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:58,000
Speaker 2: That was Giannas and Tetokopo following Game five against the

2526
02:03:58,040 --> 02:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Miami Heat.

2527
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 4: A couple thoughts Chase One.

2528
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 2: First of all, I want to say this, you know, Yannis,

2529
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 2: for a young man who did not grow up in

2530
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,840
Speaker 2: this country, English is not his first language, I just

2531
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:11,840
Speaker 2: think he's so smart and so eloquent in what he says.

2532
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 2: I just want to give him credit, whether you agree

2533
02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 2: or disagree with what he said. And I am curious,

2534
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Jason to hear what your thoughts are, because I did

2535
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 2: see this, this commentary live on Wednesday night. It felt

2536
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:27,040
Speaker 2: like everybody loved what Yannis had to say. And then,

2537
02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:29,680
Speaker 2: of course, because this is the world that we live in,

2538
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 2: by probably you know, the next morning, everybody hated it.

2539
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 2: And you know, Michael Jordan would never consider a season

2540
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,960
Speaker 2: without a championship a success and Kobe Bryant would never

2541
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:44,960
Speaker 2: consider a season without a championship a success or at

2542
02:04:44,960 --> 02:04:48,640
Speaker 2: the very least not a failure. Michael Jordan would consider

2543
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 2: it a failure, Kobe would consider it a failure. So obviously,

2544
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 2: I know you heard these quotes throughout the week. But

2545
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:56,919
Speaker 2: now that you hear him again here on a Saturday

2546
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:58,640
Speaker 2: a few days later, what's your reaction to them?

2547
02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 3: Jason, I love I love everything about him. I love

2548
02:05:03,320 --> 02:05:06,440
Speaker 3: the dad jokes, I love just the likability factor. I

2549
02:05:06,520 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 3: love the game. I love the talent, I love the thoughtfulness.

2550
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 3: I love all of it. I didn't love this interesting.

2551
02:05:16,680 --> 02:05:19,839
Speaker 3: I didn't hate it either, because I understand the nuance

2552
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:23,200
Speaker 3: of what Giannie is suggesting here, and he's right. Look,

2553
02:05:23,200 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 3: Tom Brady didn't win a Super Bowl every year. He's

2554
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 3: gonna go down as the greatest NFL player of all

2555
02:05:28,080 --> 02:05:31,040
Speaker 3: time unless we see somebody do something miraculous in the

2556
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 3: next twenty of thirty years or whatever, because all records

2557
02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:37,879
Speaker 3: are made to be broken. But the problem for Giannis

2558
02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:41,680
Speaker 3: here is, first off, context, you lost to Miami Heat.

2559
02:05:41,720 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 3: It was an eight seed. We seen eight seed twin before.

2560
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 3: Not many times in the NBA we have seen it.

2561
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:49,760
Speaker 3: You lost to an eight seed that lost their first

2562
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 3: playing game and then had to beat the Bulls just

2563
02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:59,040
Speaker 3: to make it into the postseason. You lost to them

2564
02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:01,800
Speaker 3: in a close out game where you were up sixteen

2565
02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:07,600
Speaker 3: in the second half, maybe even in the fourth quarter. Now,

2566
02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:10,520
Speaker 3: you lost to an all time killer on a basketball

2567
02:06:10,560 --> 02:06:15,000
Speaker 3: floor in Jimmy Butler, and you lost to one of

2568
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 3: the great coaches in all of pro sports and Eric Spolstra.

2569
02:06:19,520 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 3: But if you're Jana Santetekumpo, the best player in the

2570
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:26,560
Speaker 3: NBA for my money, a guy who has already won

2571
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:31,280
Speaker 3: a championship. The one thing that you just don't want

2572
02:06:31,280 --> 02:06:35,840
Speaker 3: to hear if you're a Milwaukee Bucks fan the next

2573
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:39,080
Speaker 3: day or when you find out this was said, is

2574
02:06:39,840 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 3: this guy didn't call it a failure because although it's

2575
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:47,080
Speaker 3: not like you didn't finish last, but you were the

2576
02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:50,480
Speaker 3: number one seed. You were Aaron torres Is pick to

2577
02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:50,920
Speaker 3: win the.

2578
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 2: NBA Finals Championship.

2579
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:59,400
Speaker 3: I don't hate this the timing of it, and it

2580
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 3: was raw all in the moment. I can understand why

2581
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:07,080
Speaker 3: fans in Milwaukee would feel a little sour about this

2582
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:12,400
Speaker 3: because you just want him to be upset. But well,

2583
02:07:12,440 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 3: I know, but you don't get it though. That's the thing,

2584
02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:17,880
Speaker 3: like you want him to just be I'm gonna go

2585
02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:20,440
Speaker 3: home and work hard. You want the t bow speech

2586
02:07:20,480 --> 02:07:24,160
Speaker 3: after the Ole miss loss. You'll never see somebody work harder.

2587
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:26,320
Speaker 3: And he actually said that a few years ago. You know,

2588
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:28,320
Speaker 3: I gotta go get better at my free throws. I've

2589
02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:30,720
Speaker 3: got to go home, and and he did. He went home,

2590
02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:33,320
Speaker 3: and he had a court built, and he dedicated himself

2591
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 3: to it and all this, and he came back and

2592
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:37,040
Speaker 3: he wanted it even more. And so I think that

2593
02:07:37,080 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 3: you just want to feel like everybody is living or

2594
02:07:40,040 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 3: dying by it. And Giannis is just different in the

2595
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 3: way that he approaches everything.

2596
02:07:44,280 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's different. I'll say this. First

2597
02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:48,280
Speaker 2: of all, you know, context matters. They were the number

2598
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 2: one seed. He also missed you know what, three out

2599
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:53,320
Speaker 2: of the five games in this series. And yes, I

2600
02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 2: get that it came back, and I get that they

2601
02:07:55,360 --> 02:07:57,520
Speaker 2: lost two games with him in it. But what I

2602
02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:02,640
Speaker 2: would also say is just be because he didn't say, uh,

2603
02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 2: just because he didn't say, I'm like, like, he is devastating.

2604
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:06,880
Speaker 4: He's clearly devastated.

2605
02:08:06,880 --> 02:08:13,160
Speaker 2: But I thought the message behind the message was I thought,

2606
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:16,080
Speaker 2: just as good is that just because you don't reach

2607
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:18,680
Speaker 2: the ultimate prize doesn't make it a failure, and there

2608
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:22,360
Speaker 2: are lessons to be learned along the way. And so

2609
02:08:22,680 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it means that he's not upset. I

2610
02:08:25,400 --> 02:08:28,440
Speaker 2: don't think it means that he's not devastated. I think

2611
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:32,360
Speaker 2: what he's trying to say is it is it a failure?

2612
02:08:32,480 --> 02:08:32,600
Speaker 3: No?

2613
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:34,200
Speaker 2: No, no, And I think this is important.

2614
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:34,440
Speaker 3: Right.

2615
02:08:35,120 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 2: The question wasn't are you disappointed? The question was do

2616
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:43,320
Speaker 2: you deem this season of failure? And so I get it.

2617
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it was a failure because I do

2618
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 2: think only one team is going to win it. They

2619
02:08:48,600 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 2: dealt with injuries, there were issues, and I get it,

2620
02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:56,920
Speaker 2: like it's very disappointing because of how it ended, but

2621
02:08:57,280 --> 02:09:00,000
Speaker 2: there's only one team that can ultimately win the Championshi.

2622
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 2: And to me, I guess and I'm not trying to,

2623
02:09:02,920 --> 02:09:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, read between the lines and know everything that

2624
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:07,560
Speaker 2: Jannis is saying. But I think what he's kind of

2625
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:11,400
Speaker 2: saying is like, you know, like it doesn't matter, you know,

2626
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:14,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I just feel like there's only.

2627
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:16,839
Speaker 4: One team that's gonna be able to be crown champion.

2628
02:09:17,560 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 2: It's certainly disappointing, but I don't think it's a failure

2629
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:23,120
Speaker 2: because you lost in the first round, Like I mean,

2630
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:27,640
Speaker 2: and I'll ask you, and this isn't a rhetorical question,

2631
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 2: this is I'm actually asking you if he had made

2632
02:09:30,360 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 2: the same speech after Game six of the NBA Finals

2633
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:38,640
Speaker 2: and they lose to the Lakers, they lose to the Nuggets,

2634
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:43,760
Speaker 2: that same speech like to me, that same speech could

2635
02:09:43,760 --> 02:09:46,440
Speaker 2: have been made after Game six of the finals. Is

2636
02:09:46,480 --> 02:09:49,080
Speaker 2: I think what he's trying to say is anytime that

2637
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:52,440
Speaker 2: you don't win, it's a disappointment, but it doesn't mean

2638
02:09:52,480 --> 02:09:55,040
Speaker 2: that it's a failure because you're gonna learn lessons along

2639
02:09:55,080 --> 02:09:57,120
Speaker 2: the way that you hopefully take back. So I guess

2640
02:09:57,120 --> 02:09:58,880
Speaker 2: my question for you. I get it's a one seed.

2641
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:00,320
Speaker 2: I get you lost to an eight seed. I get

2642
02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 2: all that. But if this was a speech after Game

2643
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:05,920
Speaker 2: six of the NBA Finals, is that different to you?

2644
02:10:06,480 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 2: Because under the context that you've laid out of, you know,

2645
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:11,800
Speaker 2: you don't want to hear that as your as a fan,

2646
02:10:12,200 --> 02:10:13,800
Speaker 2: you want him to be more disappointed. You want to

2647
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 2: hear about all the things he's going to fix in

2648
02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:18,920
Speaker 2: the offseason. Does that carry a different weight because it

2649
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:20,520
Speaker 2: happened to be a first round loss?

2650
02:10:20,720 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so. And the reason why is because, look,

2651
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:28,480
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna ask Bradley Beal if this season was a

2652
02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:32,760
Speaker 3: failure for the Washington Wizards because the expectations of the

2653
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Wizards were not an NBA championship. They were not reaching

2654
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:39,600
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, they were not winning the Eastern Conference.

2655
02:10:39,640 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 3: If they have done any of those things, it would

2656
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:43,400
Speaker 3: have been a wild success. That's the whole idea of

2657
02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:46,160
Speaker 3: you're already playing with house money because you weren't supposed

2658
02:10:46,200 --> 02:10:48,960
Speaker 3: to be here, right Like, was it a failure for

2659
02:10:49,120 --> 02:10:53,160
Speaker 3: North Carolina last year in Hubert Davis's first year to

2660
02:10:53,280 --> 02:10:55,880
Speaker 3: come that close and not get the championship? Well know,

2661
02:10:56,160 --> 02:10:58,680
Speaker 3: because no one saw that coming and you looked at

2662
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:00,880
Speaker 3: their seed early in that turn and you could see

2663
02:11:00,880 --> 02:11:03,880
Speaker 3: it that way. The problem for the Bucks and the

2664
02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 3: problem for Yannis, and I do think what you're saying

2665
02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:13,160
Speaker 3: has validity, But the Bucks expectations and the expectations of

2666
02:11:13,240 --> 02:11:17,520
Speaker 3: people watching Milwaukee, predicting this league, big time fans, all

2667
02:11:17,560 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 3: of that was that the Bucks were a title contender.

2668
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 3: For them not to get out of the first round.

2669
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 3: I think what you really want Jannis to say in

2670
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 3: that moment isn't it's a it's a it's it's it.

2671
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:34,520
Speaker 3: You know what I do agree with with Jannis. I

2672
02:11:34,520 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 3: think it's a bad question because I think that it

2673
02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 3: is such a cut and dry thing and I don't

2674
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,000
Speaker 3: know that it's a cut and dry answer, because if

2675
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:44,720
Speaker 3: it were me, I'd want to go in and say,

2676
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,880
Speaker 3: am I gonna call it a failure? After all the

2677
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:50,640
Speaker 3: work that we put in, the time that we spent

2678
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:53,000
Speaker 3: in the gym, the time we spent together, the time

2679
02:11:53,040 --> 02:11:55,800
Speaker 3: we spent away from family, all the wins that we had,

2680
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 3: the memories we had, the lessons that we learned. All

2681
02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 3: of this. No, I can say that I wish I

2682
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:04,520
Speaker 3: had been at my best physically and I wasn't. And

2683
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:06,160
Speaker 3: I hate the fact that we're not gonna be able

2684
02:12:06,160 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 3: to play for a championship this year, but we're gonna

2685
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:11,640
Speaker 3: be back next year, Like you want something to that degree.

2686
02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:14,720
Speaker 3: But this is me having days to think about it.

2687
02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:18,640
Speaker 3: I don't like the question because it is designed to

2688
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:23,480
Speaker 3: elicit a response that somebody's not gonna like that. Somebody's

2689
02:12:23,520 --> 02:12:26,040
Speaker 3: gonna have a problem with and be able to pick apart.

2690
02:12:26,400 --> 02:12:27,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's I would call it a

2691
02:12:28,120 --> 02:12:31,800
Speaker 3: gotcha question. It's just kind of a lazy question to me.

2692
02:12:32,160 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 3: But if your expectations are Super Bowl and you get

2693
02:12:37,040 --> 02:12:40,040
Speaker 3: knocked out on wild card weekend, a lot of people

2694
02:12:40,120 --> 02:12:42,760
Speaker 3: are gonna call that a failure, whereas if you're a

2695
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:46,240
Speaker 3: team that overperforms and then makes it into the postseason,

2696
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 3: no one's gonna have that argument. The Bucks success in

2697
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,440
Speaker 3: the past, and in fact, they've already won a championship,

2698
02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:55,160
Speaker 3: and they have the best player in the world on

2699
02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:58,120
Speaker 3: their team, and we've seen him at his apex and

2700
02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:01,080
Speaker 3: he's continuing to play at it. I think that's what

2701
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 3: it is. It's just like when you fail expectations to

2702
02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:09,200
Speaker 3: that degree, it is hard to listen to somebody say

2703
02:13:09,280 --> 02:13:11,680
Speaker 3: and start telling you lessons about how there's only one

2704
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:14,080
Speaker 3: team that can win. Right, that's true when there's thirty

2705
02:13:14,080 --> 02:13:17,840
Speaker 3: two teams in the NBA. But you were a favorite

2706
02:13:17,880 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 3: to do it and you didn't get close.

2707
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, I do see it from that perspective,

2708
02:13:23,880 --> 02:13:26,920
Speaker 2: is because you're the favorite. Because I'm just thinking, and

2709
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:29,120
Speaker 2: I think the part that he said which is important,

2710
02:13:29,240 --> 02:13:31,560
Speaker 2: right is, or the part that he said which I

2711
02:13:31,560 --> 02:13:34,360
Speaker 2: don't want to gloss over, is the whole You know,

2712
02:13:34,440 --> 02:13:36,480
Speaker 2: you work in your career and if you don't get

2713
02:13:36,480 --> 02:13:38,080
Speaker 2: a raise or a promotion, is it a failure?

2714
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:38,240
Speaker 3: You know?

2715
02:13:38,280 --> 02:13:39,840
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what we're doing right. This is

2716
02:13:40,120 --> 02:13:42,840
Speaker 2: our second year together, Jason. I've had a blast doing

2717
02:13:42,880 --> 02:13:46,800
Speaker 2: it if I don't get the you know, the Colin

2718
02:13:46,840 --> 02:13:49,000
Speaker 2: Cowherd slot come next year, that doesn't mean that this

2719
02:13:49,120 --> 02:13:50,240
Speaker 2: was a failure.

2720
02:13:49,960 --> 02:13:52,800
Speaker 4: Because because I didn't get.

2721
02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Some sort of promotion or whatever. And so I think

2722
02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:57,560
Speaker 2: that's what he's trying to say. But I do see

2723
02:13:57,560 --> 02:13:59,240
Speaker 2: it from your perspective now now that we talked to

2724
02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:01,800
Speaker 2: down nice chair conversation between the two of us where

2725
02:14:01,840 --> 02:14:04,520
Speaker 2: we talked it out now because seriously, because I think

2726
02:14:04,560 --> 02:14:09,560
Speaker 2: there is something too. You can't like, like it's like

2727
02:14:09,800 --> 02:14:12,000
Speaker 2: in life, you can't look at everything as a zero

2728
02:14:12,120 --> 02:14:14,400
Speaker 2: sum game. Either one or your lost, either this or that.

2729
02:14:14,440 --> 02:14:17,040
Speaker 2: You either it's either a success or a failure. But

2730
02:14:17,120 --> 02:14:19,920
Speaker 2: I do think there is something too. Sports are different,

2731
02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:23,760
Speaker 2: right and and I but I also I am sticking

2732
02:14:23,800 --> 02:14:25,520
Speaker 2: with what I said a minute ago, which is that

2733
02:14:25,600 --> 02:14:29,440
Speaker 2: I do feel like, you know, I think if the

2734
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:32,400
Speaker 2: question was is this season of disappointment? Yeah, it's huge disappointment,

2735
02:14:32,400 --> 02:14:35,560
Speaker 2: But is it a failure? Failure is a loaded word.

2736
02:14:35,640 --> 02:14:38,520
Speaker 2: And I understand why he gave that, why he gave

2737
02:14:38,560 --> 02:14:42,280
Speaker 2: that answer that he did, And it's just you know,

2738
02:14:42,520 --> 02:14:43,839
Speaker 2: it's it's an interesting conversation.

2739
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:46,680
Speaker 4: It's an interesting conversation. Uh, And I'll tell you ab Jason.

2740
02:14:47,200 --> 02:14:49,200
Speaker 2: Mark Madine is going to join us next, and we'll

2741
02:14:49,240 --> 02:14:51,560
Speaker 2: ask him about it because I'm actually very curious at

2765
02:15:56,320 --> 02:15:59,640
Speaker 7: Aaron? Just trying to keep up with you, my man, Well.

2766
02:15:59,520 --> 02:16:02,240
Speaker 2: I appreciate you're joining us here. And Jason and I

2767
02:16:02,320 --> 02:16:06,560
Speaker 2: were just talking about this Gianness quote from obviously after

2768
02:16:06,640 --> 02:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Game five the other night on Wednesday night. I know

2769
02:16:09,400 --> 02:16:11,160
Speaker 2: it's about four or five days old now it's made

2770
02:16:11,200 --> 02:16:14,400
Speaker 2: it through the news cycle. I actually love the response.

2771
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:17,240
Speaker 2: Jason was a little bit more. Hey, you're a competitor,

2772
02:16:17,440 --> 02:16:19,680
Speaker 2: your season ended, you want to hear more from your star.

2773
02:16:20,280 --> 02:16:22,480
Speaker 2: I like the message behind the message, which is that

2774
02:16:22,560 --> 02:16:24,360
Speaker 2: sometimes there's going to be failure in your life. You're

2775
02:16:24,360 --> 02:16:26,360
Speaker 2: either going to learn from it or not. Where do

2776
02:16:26,440 --> 02:16:27,840
Speaker 2: you stand on what Yanna said?

2777
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:27,960
Speaker 3: It?

2778
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:32,000
Speaker 2: More importantly, like you talk to people all over this league, coaches, players, whatever.

2779
02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:34,760
Speaker 2: What has the response been overall to what Yannis had

2780
02:16:34,760 --> 02:16:35,080
Speaker 2: to say?

2781
02:16:35,280 --> 02:16:37,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mostly liked the message. It was interesting. Lakers

2782
02:16:37,920 --> 02:16:41,240
Speaker 7: coach Darvinham, you know, he was speaking earlier this week

2783
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:43,880
Speaker 7: before their game against the Grizzlies. He was a former

2784
02:16:44,160 --> 02:16:47,080
Speaker 7: Bucks assistant coach. He really felt like it resonated just

2785
02:16:47,080 --> 02:16:50,440
Speaker 7: this idea that you know, this whole pursuit of success

2786
02:16:50,560 --> 02:16:53,200
Speaker 7: is an ongoing process that doesn't have a start and

2787
02:16:53,400 --> 02:16:57,080
Speaker 7: end date in certain seasons. I mostly agreed with what

2788
02:16:57,120 --> 02:17:00,760
Speaker 7: Yannas said, But this might be some mantics, but I

2789
02:17:00,800 --> 02:17:04,240
Speaker 7: think that you can evaluate a season in this season

2790
02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:07,240
Speaker 7: in particular as a failure because they were a first

2791
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:10,039
Speaker 7: round seed. They're expected to win an NBA championship. They

2792
02:17:10,080 --> 02:17:11,840
Speaker 7: lost in the first round. I think it would be

2793
02:17:11,959 --> 02:17:14,039
Speaker 7: much different. It was the idea of, oh, the Bucks'

2794
02:17:14,840 --> 02:17:17,400
Speaker 7: history is a failure. Giannis, his career is going to

2795
02:17:17,400 --> 02:17:20,080
Speaker 7: be a failure. No one's going to say that. So

2796
02:17:20,640 --> 02:17:23,680
Speaker 7: where I really stood harken back to when Kobe Bryant

2797
02:17:23,720 --> 02:17:26,959
Speaker 7: was playing in his prime. He's trying to win championships.

2798
02:17:26,959 --> 02:17:31,000
Speaker 7: I remember when after they made three consecutive finals, won

2799
02:17:31,040 --> 02:17:34,520
Speaker 7: two NBA titles, they lund up game swept to Dallas

2800
02:17:34,560 --> 02:17:37,200
Speaker 7: in twenty eleven, and someone had asked him about just

2801
02:17:37,280 --> 02:17:41,039
Speaker 7: kind of putting everything in context of the disappointment, but

2802
02:17:41,080 --> 02:17:43,560
Speaker 7: also knowing that they had such a great run prior

2803
02:17:43,600 --> 02:17:46,160
Speaker 7: to that, and he said no, I don't look it

2804
02:17:46,240 --> 02:17:49,160
Speaker 7: through that. Anytime that there's a season I don't win

2805
02:17:49,200 --> 02:17:52,640
Speaker 7: a championship, it's a wasted year of my life. And

2806
02:17:52,840 --> 02:17:56,800
Speaker 7: Kobe has had since changed his thoughts on that, I think,

2807
02:17:56,879 --> 02:18:00,360
Speaker 7: especially post retirement, he talked about how it's more of

2808
02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:02,160
Speaker 7: the pursuit of the journey. But I think that when

2809
02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:05,640
Speaker 7: you're in the current present time, you should think of

2810
02:18:05,680 --> 02:18:09,760
Speaker 7: it like those terms. Every season should feel very urgent

2811
02:18:09,800 --> 02:18:12,280
Speaker 7: because you never know where that next window is going

2812
02:18:12,360 --> 02:18:14,560
Speaker 7: to be. But I think in fairnessy honest, when he

2813
02:18:14,640 --> 02:18:17,920
Speaker 7: looks back at his career, it's not going to be about, oh,

2814
02:18:18,040 --> 02:18:20,800
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three he lost in the first round.

2815
02:18:20,840 --> 02:18:23,120
Speaker 7: It's going to be about in twenty twenty one he

2816
02:18:23,160 --> 02:18:26,760
Speaker 7: won his first NBA championship, and I presume many more.

2817
02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:29,520
Speaker 7: So I like the big picture of it, but I

2818
02:18:29,520 --> 02:18:32,680
Speaker 7: think in this current moment of time, I had some

2819
02:18:32,720 --> 02:18:34,600
Speaker 7: respectful disagreements with the idea.

2820
02:18:34,920 --> 02:18:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, that was kind of where I was on

2821
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:40,280
Speaker 3: it. It's just like, look, nobody's and my analogy was nobody's

2822
02:18:40,320 --> 02:18:43,119
Speaker 3: going to ask Bradley Beal if this was a wasted

2823
02:18:43,160 --> 02:18:45,720
Speaker 3: season for the Washington Wizards, They're not going to ask

2824
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:47,720
Speaker 3: whether or not it was a failure because no one

2825
02:18:47,800 --> 02:18:51,519
Speaker 3: had any expectations of the Wizards doing anything, the expectations

2826
02:18:51,560 --> 02:18:54,440
Speaker 3: of the Bucks, the success that they have already had,

2827
02:18:54,920 --> 02:18:56,560
Speaker 3: and the fact that we can all look at this

2828
02:18:56,959 --> 02:19:00,520
Speaker 3: and at best say, man, what a missed opportunity this

2829
02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:03,959
Speaker 3: was for this group to get another championship. I think

2830
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:07,000
Speaker 3: failure is such a charged word. I think Dan Patrick

2831
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,440
Speaker 3: has said something similar to this this week. That's why

2832
02:19:09,480 --> 02:19:11,480
Speaker 3: I didn't really like the question. I think if he

2833
02:19:11,480 --> 02:19:14,480
Speaker 3: had said, was this season a big time disappointment for you?

2834
02:19:14,480 --> 02:19:16,720
Speaker 3: You get a completely different answer from Giannis.

2835
02:19:17,160 --> 02:19:21,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, And look, I think there's a few things here.

2836
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:24,640
Speaker 7: Certainly there's some context to explain a number one seed

2837
02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:26,640
Speaker 7: losing to the Miami Heat. I mean, the honest is

2838
02:19:26,680 --> 02:19:28,080
Speaker 7: out for two and a half games because the end

2839
02:19:28,120 --> 02:19:30,760
Speaker 7: of back injury. The Miami Heat, they're better than a

2840
02:19:30,800 --> 02:19:34,119
Speaker 7: traditional eight seed. They arguably felt a number eight because

2841
02:19:34,120 --> 02:19:36,080
Speaker 7: they had a lot of injuries throughout the season, most

2842
02:19:36,120 --> 02:19:38,800
Speaker 7: notably to Jimmy Butler. Well, guess what in the first round,

2843
02:19:38,879 --> 02:19:42,200
Speaker 7: Jimmy Butler was back to full Jimmy Butler mode. Mike

2844
02:19:42,240 --> 02:19:44,840
Speaker 7: boonehalz R. I know that he's certainly not blameless when

2845
02:19:44,840 --> 02:19:47,400
Speaker 7: it comes to his coaching. But Darvin Ham the other

2846
02:19:47,480 --> 02:19:50,880
Speaker 7: day again former assistant coach of his, had revealed that

2847
02:19:51,120 --> 02:19:54,680
Speaker 7: he's going through some personal situations with recently losing his brother,

2848
02:19:54,760 --> 02:19:57,320
Speaker 7: and no doubt, you know that's got a way on you.

2849
02:19:57,400 --> 02:20:00,240
Speaker 7: And I think that the organization moving forward, it's not

2850
02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:02,760
Speaker 7: like they're going to make wholesale changes. I think Boonholzer

2851
02:20:02,840 --> 02:20:05,200
Speaker 7: stay in put. I don't think they're going to, you know,

2852
02:20:05,280 --> 02:20:07,560
Speaker 7: somedingly reinvent the wheel with the roster. But I think

2853
02:20:07,600 --> 02:20:11,279
Speaker 7: to the broader point, they came in with championship expectations.

2854
02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:13,640
Speaker 7: I know, talking to people around the team and around

2855
02:20:13,680 --> 02:20:16,160
Speaker 7: the league, there was this thought that there's a lot

2856
02:20:16,160 --> 02:20:19,480
Speaker 7: of depth they can absorb. Maybe not a completely long

2857
02:20:19,560 --> 02:20:22,280
Speaker 7: term absence, the honest, but at least short term because

2858
02:20:22,320 --> 02:20:24,400
Speaker 7: they have Drew Holliday, Chris Miltson, a lot of good

2859
02:20:24,440 --> 02:20:26,560
Speaker 7: role players. They just weren't able to do it now.

2860
02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:28,879
Speaker 7: As far as the question goes, I think in respect

2861
02:20:28,879 --> 02:20:32,360
Speaker 7: to Eric Name, longtime Bucks supporter with the Athletic, he

2862
02:20:32,520 --> 02:20:36,040
Speaker 7: has a pretty good working relationship with Giannis. He knows

2863
02:20:36,040 --> 02:20:39,080
Speaker 7: that he's not asking kind of click baity questions he

2864
02:20:39,200 --> 02:20:42,000
Speaker 7: was really just trying to get his thought process. And look,

2865
02:20:42,560 --> 02:20:45,360
Speaker 7: whether you like the question or not, Jannis certainly shared

2866
02:20:45,400 --> 02:20:48,240
Speaker 7: his thoughts out and so that's the intent of what

2867
02:20:48,280 --> 02:20:51,279
Speaker 7: we have. You try to get information. That's exactly what happened.

2868
02:20:51,879 --> 02:20:52,119
Speaker 3: Mark.

2869
02:20:52,240 --> 02:20:55,480
Speaker 2: So little personal story time here with Torres, But I've

2870
02:20:55,520 --> 02:20:59,879
Speaker 2: lived in LA since late twenty twelve, early twenty thirteen.

2871
02:21:00,480 --> 02:21:04,400
Speaker 2: That was the failed Kobe Dwight Howard year. I bring

2872
02:21:04,440 --> 02:21:07,080
Speaker 2: it up to say, since I've moved to LA, there

2873
02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:10,440
Speaker 2: really hasn't been that many bright spots for the Lakers.

2874
02:21:10,480 --> 02:21:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, even when they won a championship, it

2875
02:21:12,440 --> 02:21:15,280
Speaker 2: was in a bubble. I can legitimately say, and I've

2876
02:21:15,280 --> 02:21:17,560
Speaker 2: asked our producers this. You know, Danny g who's a

2877
02:21:17,600 --> 02:21:20,160
Speaker 2: huge Lakers fan, I said, it doesn't feel like the

2878
02:21:20,280 --> 02:21:23,880
Speaker 2: Lakers feel as big and relevant in LA as they

2879
02:21:23,879 --> 02:21:26,400
Speaker 2: did ten, twelve, fifteen years ago when I was on

2880
02:21:26,440 --> 02:21:30,080
Speaker 2: the East Coast watching, you know, a big playoff game

2881
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:33,160
Speaker 2: with Shaq and Kobe whatever. I bring all of that

2882
02:21:33,320 --> 02:21:37,640
Speaker 2: up to say, last night felt like the Lakers that

2883
02:21:37,720 --> 02:21:41,119
Speaker 2: I grew up on Doctor Dre's Court's side. Jack Nicholson's

2884
02:21:41,160 --> 02:21:45,120
Speaker 2: back in the house, Larry David Flee from the Red

2885
02:21:45,120 --> 02:21:48,039
Speaker 2: Hot Chili Peppers, I think, and so you were in

2886
02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:51,720
Speaker 2: the building, I believe did it feel like old school

2887
02:21:52,160 --> 02:21:54,880
Speaker 2: Lakers because it just had a great vibe to it

2888
02:21:54,920 --> 02:21:55,800
Speaker 2: on TV last night.

2889
02:21:56,040 --> 02:21:58,440
Speaker 7: Oh, it certainly did. And I think the players were

2890
02:21:58,480 --> 02:22:01,959
Speaker 7: soaking it in. I mean Diangelus and Anthony Davis specifically.

2891
02:22:02,280 --> 02:22:05,039
Speaker 7: We're calling for even more cheers from the crowd. You

2892
02:22:05,200 --> 02:22:08,520
Speaker 7: mentioned the celebrities. There's usually a lot of celebrities at

2893
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:11,080
Speaker 7: Laker games, but those were the A listeners of the

2894
02:22:11,120 --> 02:22:14,400
Speaker 7: A listeners, most notably with Jack Nicholson and you know,

2895
02:22:14,480 --> 02:22:16,760
Speaker 7: covering the Lakers over the years, even during their worst

2896
02:22:16,760 --> 02:22:19,720
Speaker 7: stretching franchise history. You know, there was still a lot

2897
02:22:19,760 --> 02:22:22,680
Speaker 7: of interests locally because of Kobe Bryant, because of just

2898
02:22:22,959 --> 02:22:25,920
Speaker 7: the expectation that there has to be changed. But to

2899
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:28,959
Speaker 7: your point, there weren't a lot of celebratory moments. Maybe

2900
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:32,959
Speaker 7: Kobe's farewell tour, his final season, Kobe's final game, once

2901
02:22:33,040 --> 02:22:37,560
Speaker 7: Lebron James came to the Lakers, the jerseyed retirement ceremonies

2902
02:22:37,600 --> 02:22:41,640
Speaker 7: for Kobe and Palamassol. Recently, when Lebron surpassed Kareem on

2903
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:44,440
Speaker 7: the all time scoring liss this season. But when you

2904
02:22:44,480 --> 02:22:46,200
Speaker 7: add in the fact that the Lakers had won a

2905
02:22:46,200 --> 02:22:49,080
Speaker 7: title three years ago but didn't take place in front

2906
02:22:49,120 --> 02:22:51,560
Speaker 7: of any fans and took place in the bubble, I know,

2907
02:22:51,720 --> 02:22:54,920
Speaker 7: covering them in the bubble, it was a very big accomplishment,

2908
02:22:54,959 --> 02:22:57,760
Speaker 7: but just didn't feel the same to Laker fans because

2909
02:22:57,760 --> 02:23:00,840
Speaker 7: they weren't there to witness it. And so forward into

2910
02:23:01,080 --> 02:23:04,040
Speaker 7: the present point in time, the atmosphere of this past

2911
02:23:04,080 --> 02:23:06,720
Speaker 7: week for these playoff games has been an all time high,

2912
02:23:06,800 --> 02:23:09,680
Speaker 7: and I don't think that this historical footnote should be

2913
02:23:09,720 --> 02:23:11,840
Speaker 7: lost in any way, shape or form. This is the

2914
02:23:11,879 --> 02:23:15,200
Speaker 7: first time that the Lakers are advancing to the second

2915
02:23:15,280 --> 02:23:19,039
Speaker 7: round of the playoffs with fans present since twenty twelve,

2916
02:23:19,640 --> 02:23:22,440
Speaker 7: and Laker fans are soaking every moment of it so far.

2917
02:23:22,959 --> 02:23:25,920
Speaker 3: Mark, do you think that Memphis is going to learn

2918
02:23:26,320 --> 02:23:29,440
Speaker 3: and mature in terms of their conduct and just the

2919
02:23:29,560 --> 02:23:32,800
Speaker 3: way in which they seem to approach things or is

2920
02:23:32,840 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 3: this just part of their DNA and we should expect

2921
02:23:35,600 --> 02:23:37,840
Speaker 3: them to be just as chesty and talk just as

2922
02:23:37,920 --> 02:23:41,120
Speaker 3: much and maybe still not accomplish anything next year.

2923
02:23:41,400 --> 02:23:43,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a really good question. I think that the

2924
02:23:43,720 --> 02:23:46,039
Speaker 7: fork in the road for them is really too early

2925
02:23:46,080 --> 02:23:49,560
Speaker 7: because they're a young team and so with that, are

2926
02:23:49,600 --> 02:23:53,640
Speaker 7: we seeing people being who they are and that's what

2927
02:23:53,680 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 7: they're always going to be or is there a recipe

2928
02:23:56,400 --> 02:23:59,520
Speaker 7: for growth? I mean, I think in fairness to John Moran,

2929
02:23:59,600 --> 02:24:03,520
Speaker 7: and he's currently not blameless with his ig video shenanigans

2930
02:24:03,600 --> 02:24:06,560
Speaker 7: and all these serious accusations as far as you know,

2931
02:24:06,680 --> 02:24:09,680
Speaker 7: hurting a minor and what some of his friends have

2932
02:24:09,800 --> 02:24:13,640
Speaker 7: done as far as threatening you know, different people in

2933
02:24:13,680 --> 02:24:16,200
Speaker 7: the last few months. But you know, he took ownership

2934
02:24:16,280 --> 02:24:18,199
Speaker 7: and saying that he needs to be a better leader

2935
02:24:18,680 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 7: and that is off the court issues were a distraction,

2936
02:24:21,520 --> 02:24:24,280
Speaker 7: so I guess that's step one. But as far as

2937
02:24:24,360 --> 02:24:27,280
Speaker 7: you know this past year, some of these issues, the

2938
02:24:27,360 --> 02:24:31,879
Speaker 7: John Morant incident aside XS and O strictly has been

2939
02:24:31,959 --> 02:24:35,600
Speaker 7: pervasive the entire year. Where they're a young team, they're talented,

2940
02:24:36,040 --> 02:24:39,160
Speaker 7: but they get so consumed with the trash talking and

2941
02:24:39,240 --> 02:24:41,600
Speaker 7: acting like they're better than what they are as opposed to,

2942
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:44,760
Speaker 7: you know, proving themselves on the court that I can't

2943
02:24:44,760 --> 02:24:47,200
Speaker 7: help but wonder this might be who they are. This

2944
02:24:47,560 --> 02:24:50,320
Speaker 7: dates back to when they played the Warriors in the

2945
02:24:50,320 --> 02:24:53,120
Speaker 7: playoffs last season, when Dylan Brooks is being physical with

2946
02:24:53,200 --> 02:24:56,520
Speaker 7: Gary Payne the second injuring them with on a dirty play.

2947
02:24:57,480 --> 02:25:01,119
Speaker 7: You know, John Moran accusing Jordan Poole of intentionally hurting

2948
02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:04,119
Speaker 7: him as well. You fast forward now with Dylan Brooks's

2949
02:25:04,360 --> 02:25:07,080
Speaker 7: trash talk against Lebron James. Look, as a media member,

2950
02:25:07,320 --> 02:25:09,960
Speaker 7: I love this stuff. Content is king, but from a

2951
02:25:10,080 --> 02:25:13,840
Speaker 7: jecta's standpoint, what is he doing Like he's poking the

2952
02:25:13,840 --> 02:25:16,720
Speaker 7: bear of a thirty eight year old player who's playing

2953
02:25:16,800 --> 02:25:19,880
Speaker 7: still in his absolute peak twenty years in and he's

2954
02:25:19,879 --> 02:25:22,040
Speaker 7: going to annihilate you if you do that. And that's

2955
02:25:22,080 --> 02:25:26,960
Speaker 7: exactly what happened during this series, and Lebron made sure

2956
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:29,360
Speaker 7: that he had the last word with letting his game

2957
02:25:29,440 --> 02:25:33,039
Speaker 7: speak for itself and then her insults once the series

2958
02:25:33,120 --> 02:25:34,840
Speaker 7: is over. And then I thought it also look bad

2959
02:25:35,040 --> 02:25:37,560
Speaker 7: that Dylan Brooks didn't take ownership of being this villain.

2960
02:25:37,600 --> 02:25:41,800
Speaker 7: He ducked every single interview after every single Grizzlies loss,

2961
02:25:41,840 --> 02:25:44,360
Speaker 7: And if not so much about play came the media,

2962
02:25:44,440 --> 02:25:47,040
Speaker 7: it's about taking ownership. And I know that players around

2963
02:25:47,040 --> 02:25:50,520
Speaker 7: the league they roll their eyes when the Grizzlies are

2964
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:52,360
Speaker 7: like this. So I want to be surprised. They could

2965
02:25:52,440 --> 02:25:55,160
Speaker 7: very much follow the root of the Lob City Clippers

2966
02:25:55,440 --> 02:25:57,640
Speaker 7: or the James Harden Rockets, where they're a good team

2967
02:25:57,640 --> 02:25:59,640
Speaker 7: in the regular season but they don't do jack you

2968
02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:02,680
Speaker 7: know what in the postseason. But they could also use

2969
02:26:02,680 --> 02:26:05,320
Speaker 7: this as a learning experience and time will tell which

2970
02:26:05,400 --> 02:26:07,840
Speaker 7: avenue they wound up taking really quickly.

2971
02:26:07,879 --> 02:26:11,520
Speaker 2: Mark, I know that the Denver Nuggets don't always move

2972
02:26:11,560 --> 02:26:14,680
Speaker 2: the needle on a national scale, but in a playoffs

2973
02:26:14,680 --> 02:26:17,879
Speaker 2: where so many people like the Suns, so many people liked,

2974
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:21,440
Speaker 2: you know, the Warriors, maybe to come out of the

2975
02:26:21,440 --> 02:26:23,920
Speaker 2: West or the Lakers, to maybe put it all together

2976
02:26:23,959 --> 02:26:27,840
Speaker 2: as they have, Denver looked awfully good tonight. Is tonight

2977
02:26:27,920 --> 02:26:31,119
Speaker 2: a reflection of maybe they're better than even as number

2978
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:32,920
Speaker 2: one seat? I'm not saying that we don't think that

2979
02:26:32,920 --> 02:26:36,280
Speaker 2: they're good, but Aaron Gordon played well tonight, Michael Porter Junior,

2980
02:26:36,320 --> 02:26:39,480
Speaker 2: it's not just Jokicz, and it's certainly not even Jokicchen Murray.

2981
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:42,080
Speaker 2: Is it a reflection more that maybe we need to

2982
02:26:42,080 --> 02:26:44,160
Speaker 2: start giving them a little bit more credit, or is

2983
02:26:44,200 --> 02:26:46,240
Speaker 2: this Sun's thing really starting to catch up with them

2984
02:26:46,280 --> 02:26:48,480
Speaker 2: where they just don't have much depth behind the Big Three.

2985
02:26:48,640 --> 02:26:52,280
Speaker 7: I think it's those two storylines colliding and mixing perfectly,

2986
02:26:52,320 --> 02:26:54,400
Speaker 7: and look, Aaron, you know, kind of plug what we're

2987
02:26:54,440 --> 02:26:57,480
Speaker 7: doing together. You know, I had written about this upcoming

2988
02:26:57,560 --> 02:27:00,120
Speaker 7: series and I was very conflicted which variables got to

2989
02:27:00,200 --> 02:27:03,000
Speaker 7: ultimately play out. And this can very well change game

2990
02:27:03,040 --> 02:27:06,080
Speaker 7: to game, but clearly in Game one, the concerns that

2991
02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:08,800
Speaker 7: even Monty Williams, the Son's coach, had about their lack

2992
02:27:08,879 --> 02:27:11,240
Speaker 7: of depth came to full bloom. He had to rely

2993
02:27:11,360 --> 02:27:14,920
Speaker 7: on Kevin Durant and Devin Booker playing absolutely out of

2994
02:27:14,959 --> 02:27:17,800
Speaker 7: their mind to beat the Clippers in five games, even

2995
02:27:17,840 --> 02:27:19,920
Speaker 7: with the fact that Paul George didn't play at all

2996
02:27:20,320 --> 02:27:23,600
Speaker 7: in that playoff series and Kawhi Leonard only played two games,

2997
02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:25,520
Speaker 7: missed the final three. And then he fast forward to

2998
02:27:25,560 --> 02:27:28,680
Speaker 7: the Nuggets. They have so much depth and continuity that

2999
02:27:28,760 --> 02:27:30,760
Speaker 7: unless they're playing out of their mind and they get

3000
02:27:30,840 --> 02:27:33,440
Speaker 7: some bench support, it's going to be a long haul

3001
02:27:33,560 --> 02:27:36,280
Speaker 7: for them. And I think with the Nuggets case, not

3002
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:39,080
Speaker 7: only does it highlight Nikoley Jokicic and all the depth

3003
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:41,840
Speaker 7: that you mentioned, but Jamal Murray has really had a

3004
02:27:41,920 --> 02:27:46,320
Speaker 7: breakout performance, not just tonight, but in recent weeks where

3005
02:27:46,560 --> 02:27:48,720
Speaker 7: clearly he's not just the player that he was in

3006
02:27:48,760 --> 02:27:51,920
Speaker 7: the bubble, he's the player that he was pre acl injury.

3007
02:27:51,959 --> 02:27:54,840
Speaker 7: And that's very much in line with what medical experts

3008
02:27:54,840 --> 02:27:57,760
Speaker 7: expect that when players come back from those injuries the

3009
02:27:57,840 --> 02:28:00,760
Speaker 7: first season after, it's kind of a feeling now process.

3010
02:28:00,840 --> 02:28:04,439
Speaker 7: Maybe you can still replicate your game offensively, but defensively

3011
02:28:04,560 --> 02:28:07,400
Speaker 7: take a step back, but the overall package doesn't come

3012
02:28:07,440 --> 02:28:10,600
Speaker 7: fully together until your second season. So I would expect

3013
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:12,840
Speaker 7: that Jamal Murray will play like this, maybe not from

3014
02:28:12,840 --> 02:28:16,240
Speaker 7: a statistical standpoint, from an impact standpoint. That's something that

3015
02:28:16,320 --> 02:28:20,560
Speaker 7: the Nuggets organization had envisions ever since the season started.

3016
02:28:20,920 --> 02:28:25,240
Speaker 3: One more quick when Game seven Warriors Kings, I've really

3017
02:28:25,440 --> 02:28:29,039
Speaker 3: really enjoyed watching this series. Mark. Do you think Sacramento

3018
02:28:29,680 --> 02:28:32,480
Speaker 3: is ready to do this and de throne the Warriors?

3019
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:36,920
Speaker 7: Well, I think objectively, the Sacramento Kings are ready because

3020
02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:41,439
Speaker 7: they're a real legitimate playoff team. They've challenged the Warriors.

3021
02:28:41,920 --> 02:28:44,280
Speaker 7: They have really good talent, they're one of the best

3022
02:28:44,280 --> 02:28:47,240
Speaker 7: offensive teams. But my heart tells me, you know what,

3023
02:28:47,480 --> 02:28:50,200
Speaker 7: there's something about the Warriors that it would be fitting

3024
02:28:50,280 --> 02:28:53,240
Speaker 7: that they, you know, really push the limit in prevailing

3025
02:28:53,280 --> 02:28:55,760
Speaker 7: in a Game seven because of their championship identity. I

3026
02:28:55,760 --> 02:28:58,640
Speaker 7: think the danger of that is this isn't the Dynasty Warriors.

3027
02:28:58,680 --> 02:29:01,200
Speaker 7: They might have Steph Curry Clayton to Draymond Green, but

3028
02:29:01,240 --> 02:29:03,200
Speaker 7: they have a lot of young players and they've struggled

3029
02:29:03,360 --> 02:29:05,600
Speaker 7: way on the road. But hey, they won Game five

3030
02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:07,840
Speaker 7: on the road. I think they'll wind up point off

3031
02:29:07,879 --> 02:29:09,720
Speaker 7: in game seven. But you know what, it's really flip

3032
02:29:09,760 --> 02:29:10,680
Speaker 7: a coin at this point.

3033
02:29:11,080 --> 02:29:14,680
Speaker 2: He is Mark Medina, our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider.

02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:16,480
Speaker 2: for plays of the day from Denver Jason, So we

3151
02:35:16,560 --> 02:35:21,000
Speaker 2: decided to shout out mister irrelevant. NFL draft is complete

3152
02:35:21,480 --> 02:35:23,800
Speaker 2: and now we get to look ahead to two NBA

3153
02:35:23,959 --> 02:35:27,560
Speaker 2: games tomorrow. Jason. I'll tell you man, I know I've

3154
02:35:27,560 --> 02:35:31,080
Speaker 2: said it a few times, but child of the Nineties,

3155
02:35:31,200 --> 02:35:32,840
Speaker 2: and it's interesting. By the way, I should give a

3156
02:35:32,879 --> 02:35:36,520
Speaker 2: quick shout out. There's a book out about the about

3157
02:35:36,520 --> 02:35:40,200
Speaker 2: the the nineties New York Knicks that I actually just

3158
02:35:40,320 --> 02:35:42,640
Speaker 2: finished about two weeks ago. I had some time and

3159
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:45,560
Speaker 2: finished it. It's called Blood in the Garden, and obviously

3160
02:35:45,640 --> 02:35:48,080
Speaker 2: the blood being the reference to the physicality that those

3161
02:35:48,520 --> 02:35:51,439
Speaker 2: nineties Nicks played with, and you know they're they're remembered

3162
02:35:51,560 --> 02:35:54,400
Speaker 2: in reverential terms even though they didn't win it. But

3163
02:35:54,480 --> 02:35:57,279
Speaker 2: the thing you realize is that basically after pat Riley

3164
02:35:57,360 --> 02:36:01,800
Speaker 2: left the Knicks to go to Miami, those two teams

3165
02:36:01,800 --> 02:36:03,600
Speaker 2: basically played every year in the playoffs for about a

3166
02:36:03,640 --> 02:36:06,520
Speaker 2: five to six year stretch, including nineteen ninety nine when

3167
02:36:06,560 --> 02:36:10,000
Speaker 2: the Knicks made the NBA Finals as an eight seed

3168
02:36:10,600 --> 02:36:14,000
Speaker 2: by beating the Miami Heat. So Game one is tomorrow

3169
02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:17,640
Speaker 2: with the garden tables have turned. The Miami Heat are

3170
02:36:17,680 --> 02:36:21,200
Speaker 2: now the eight seed, the Knicks to four seed really quickly.

3171
02:36:21,240 --> 02:36:21,720
Speaker 2: Game one.

3172
02:36:21,800 --> 02:36:23,320
Speaker 4: But then, just in general, what do you make of

3173
02:36:23,320 --> 02:36:23,680
Speaker 4: this series?

3174
02:36:23,720 --> 02:36:27,160
Speaker 3: Jason, I'm excited for it because I think I think

3175
02:36:27,200 --> 02:36:29,360
Speaker 3: there are sparks on both sides that can make it

3176
02:36:29,400 --> 02:36:33,600
Speaker 3: really interesting. I really like the NBA when the Knicks

3177
02:36:33,640 --> 02:36:36,120
Speaker 3: are a little bit better, like they're not my team

3178
02:36:36,280 --> 02:36:40,400
Speaker 3: or anything, But I think the Knicks looking decent, being

3179
02:36:40,480 --> 02:36:44,360
Speaker 3: relevant is a good thing for the NBA. This whole

3180
02:36:44,400 --> 02:36:47,600
Speaker 3: series and certainly Game one, are just gonna come down

3181
02:36:47,680 --> 02:36:51,400
Speaker 3: to does Jimmy Butler want to murder everybody on the floor,

3182
02:36:51,760 --> 02:36:55,160
Speaker 3: Because if he does, he might because what he did

3183
02:36:55,160 --> 02:36:57,800
Speaker 3: to the Bucks was nothing short of remarkable. If he

3184
02:36:57,840 --> 02:37:00,600
Speaker 3: shows up and shows out in that way, he can

3185
02:37:00,640 --> 02:37:03,240
Speaker 3: beat the Knicks too. The Knicks looked really impressive though

3186
02:37:03,280 --> 02:37:05,760
Speaker 3: against the Calves. I like them in Game one at home.

3187
02:37:05,879 --> 02:37:08,160
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson has been outstanding.

3188
02:37:08,560 --> 02:37:10,359
Speaker 4: Knicks are a four point favorite.

3189
02:37:11,160 --> 02:37:13,360
Speaker 2: I tend to agree with you is I do think

3190
02:37:13,440 --> 02:37:15,360
Speaker 2: that the Knicks are more impressive than I thought. I

3191
02:37:15,360 --> 02:37:17,160
Speaker 2: mean two years ago, I didn't think they were quite

3192
02:37:17,200 --> 02:37:19,880
Speaker 2: ready for the moment, but the addition of Jalen Brunson,

3193
02:37:19,920 --> 02:37:22,560
Speaker 2: a lot of those young guys getting playoff experience two

3194
02:37:22,640 --> 02:37:22,960
Speaker 2: years ago.

3195
02:37:23,120 --> 02:37:23,280
Speaker 3: RJ.

3196
02:37:23,400 --> 02:37:26,039
Speaker 2: Barrett will be topping him Mannuel quickly on and on,

3197
02:37:26,520 --> 02:37:29,720
Speaker 2: and also obviously having Julius Randall available has been a benefit.

3198
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:33,560
Speaker 4: I think I like the Knicks in Game one tomorrow,

3199
02:37:33,640 --> 02:37:34,320
Speaker 4: I really do.

3200
02:37:35,560 --> 02:37:37,520
Speaker 2: And uh, I think it'll be fun. I think it's

3201
02:37:37,520 --> 02:37:40,640
Speaker 2: just gonna think of a fun, nostalgic series and it's cliche,

3202
02:37:40,720 --> 02:37:44,080
Speaker 2: but it is true, like it's been so long, like

3203
02:37:44,320 --> 02:37:48,160
Speaker 2: having the Knicks in the garden in April and May.

3204
02:37:48,280 --> 02:37:50,880
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll get to June with them. It's

3205
02:37:51,040 --> 02:37:54,600
Speaker 2: just cool, man like and it's no disrespect to anybody else,

3206
02:37:54,640 --> 02:37:58,760
Speaker 2: but it does feel different playoff basketball in the garden

3207
02:37:58,800 --> 02:38:00,200
Speaker 2: again for people that grew up.

3208
02:38:00,280 --> 02:38:01,720
Speaker 4: That's about our age, Jason.

3209
02:38:01,760 --> 02:38:04,680
Speaker 2: That was an annual thing that has become anything but

3210
02:38:04,840 --> 02:38:05,680
Speaker 2: over the last couple.

3211
02:38:05,720 --> 02:38:09,840
Speaker 3: How many how over under on number of times we

3212
02:38:09,959 --> 02:38:15,840
Speaker 3: see Alonzo morning, PJ Brown? Oh yeahs, all of like

3213
02:38:16,040 --> 02:38:19,119
Speaker 3: all of like highlights from that, Jeff Van Gundy hanging

3214
02:38:19,200 --> 02:38:22,440
Speaker 3: on to somebody's leg, like, all of that. What's the

3215
02:38:22,480 --> 02:38:24,040
Speaker 3: over under on that? In game one?

3216
02:38:25,160 --> 02:38:28,920
Speaker 2: Justin game one? Yes, I will say, we see no minimum,

3217
02:38:28,959 --> 02:38:34,120
Speaker 2: no less than eleven highlights of the nineties between the

3218
02:38:34,200 --> 02:38:36,440
Speaker 2: Knicks and the and the heat. Do you take the

3219
02:38:36,520 --> 02:38:36,879
Speaker 2: over the.

3220
02:38:36,840 --> 02:38:37,360
Speaker 4: Under on that?

3221
02:38:38,360 --> 02:38:40,440
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I'll take I'll take the over

3222
02:38:40,560 --> 02:38:43,160
Speaker 3: on that. Here's the question. I don't know the answer

3223
02:38:43,200 --> 02:38:45,720
Speaker 3: to this because there's a Game seven and he's probably

3224
02:38:45,760 --> 02:38:48,080
Speaker 3: part of the A team that's gonna call that. If

3225
02:38:48,160 --> 02:38:51,720
Speaker 3: Van Gundy was actually on the call on ABC, that

3226
02:38:51,760 --> 02:38:54,000
Speaker 3: would be so much different. I'm sure he will before

3227
02:38:54,040 --> 02:38:55,760
Speaker 3: the end of the series. But with a Game seven

3228
02:38:55,800 --> 02:38:58,120
Speaker 3: Warriors Kings, I assume it'll be him and Breen and

3229
02:38:58,160 --> 02:38:59,480
Speaker 3: Mark Jackson on that call.

3230
02:38:59,600 --> 02:39:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, let's go to Game seven. Obviously, Sacramento did take

3231
02:39:02,480 --> 02:39:05,080
Speaker 2: care of business last night. Golden State now has to

3232
02:39:05,120 --> 02:39:09,680
Speaker 2: go to Sacramento for Game seven. That game will be

3233
02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:15,560
Speaker 2: following the Knicks heat game. The points spread in that game.

3234
02:39:15,640 --> 02:39:19,439
Speaker 2: As I am looking it up right now, it appears

3235
02:39:19,600 --> 02:39:23,359
Speaker 2: as though the Sacramento Kings are a small favorite.

3236
02:39:23,560 --> 02:39:25,720
Speaker 4: Jason, really quick, well who you got in game seven?

3237
02:39:26,800 --> 02:39:29,800
Speaker 3: Man? I want to pick Sacramento because I've really been

3238
02:39:29,800 --> 02:39:33,039
Speaker 3: impressed watching them and I think they absolutely can win

3239
02:39:33,120 --> 02:39:36,640
Speaker 3: this game. I think Mark Medena is right though. I

3240
02:39:36,720 --> 02:39:39,520
Speaker 3: just think that this is gonna feel different to them

3241
02:39:39,680 --> 02:39:42,480
Speaker 3: at the jump, and the Warriors have been here and

3242
02:39:42,560 --> 02:39:46,840
Speaker 3: done this before, and somehow the Kings are just gonna

3243
02:39:46,840 --> 02:39:48,880
Speaker 3: be a little bit off and the Warriors are gonna

3244
02:39:48,879 --> 02:39:52,039
Speaker 3: take advantage, and I think Golden State is gonna upset them.

3245
02:39:52,280 --> 02:39:55,240
Speaker 2: It's so cliche, but I agree like that championship pedigree

3246
02:39:55,320 --> 02:39:58,240
Speaker 2: really does matter, and I think in a winner go

3247
02:39:58,320 --> 02:40:01,640
Speaker 2: home game, Golden State wins to advance to play the

3248
