1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Wednesday. 3 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: March first, a new month, one of my favorite months 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: every single year, March Madness nearly upon US Conference Championship 5 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: Week begins next week. Okay, the smaller conferences begin this week, 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: by the way, and I'm going to call it a 7 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: go ahead and call it a coup. I think this 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: is a huge get. But a small conference player of 9 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: the Year told me confirmed to me that he would 10 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: come on Straight Fire next week. Now we need them 11 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: to get to the tournament, and they are favorites to 12 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: win their conference championship. It's funny because I knew one 13 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: of them as friends and I went on his podcast 14 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: I think like two years ago, and obviously, you know, 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: we followed each other on social media and the guy 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: had an awesome year, and so we talked a little 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: bit and I said, come on the pod next week. 18 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: He's like sure. I was like, just make sure you 19 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: win the conference tournament. I can't really have a non 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament player coming on. I know the market's not 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: massive for college basketball, but you guys know, I'm all 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: about it college basketball. Gambling is my thing. And oh, 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: by the way, you guys remember the Calcutta last year 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: where a movie guy was mostly bankrolling our crew here 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: in the South Bay in LA. I kind of jumped 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: in late. I knew a couple of guys that knew 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: I did gambling for Fox. We had Gonzaga, we had Kansas. 28 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: We spent the most money ever in the Calcutta on Gonzaga. 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: They end up losing in the second round. That was 30 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: a big sweat and a devastating loss. Will not soon 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: forget that defeat. However, did have Kansas. Jayhawks won the title, 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: so cleaned up nice, nice little victory financially for me 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: and the crew. And I just got confirmation that the 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: movie guy is more than willing to do it again. 35 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: Seems like we're gonna have to have some planning strategies 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: some sessions. Very excited that Calcutta, I guess it. They 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: announced the data, the auction. It's coming up in like 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: less than two weeks. I'm very excited for that. But 39 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: before we get to basketball, and obviously you know, I 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: can't talk much college basketball now. A couple of interesting 41 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: games last night, but nothing of massign significance. What really 42 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: happened that was interesting was the combine got underway in 43 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: Indie and the big news obviously, and there's really not 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: a great quarterback in this class. The Bryce Young size 45 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: is an issue. It's not necessarily the hype, but where 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: the weight like is even gonna be a buck ninety five? 47 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: You know one of those deals. The biggest news obviously 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: on Tuesday was Aaron Rodgers and the GM of the Packers, 49 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Brian Gudkuns, met the media and came out and said, yeah, 50 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: in what I'll break it down in a second, but 51 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: he came out and basically said, Aaron Rodgers is a 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: great player, but until we have conversations, and we haven't 53 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: had any conversations since the season ended, no phone conversations. 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: There have been a couple of text messages. I think 55 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: all options are on the table right now. We really 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: need to have conversations. So once we have the conversations, 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: we'll see what's going on. But how have you not 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: talked to your franchise quarterback in two months the season 59 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: has been over. Aaron Rodgers has done a ton of 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: media and it's like he will talk to his GM, 61 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: he will pick up the phone. Are you kidding me? 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Is this really a thing happening in Green Bay? Now? 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: The real question is why would the GM come out 64 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: and admit this to the media. Let that portion sink 65 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: in for a moment. Why is the GM admitting, yeah, 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to my quarterback in two months. There's 67 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: got to be a reason for that. So let's break 68 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: down the two options. I think there's two. Some people 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: would say there's three, maybe four. Number one, he's trying 70 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: to drive Aaron Rodgers out. Good comes to saying, we 71 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: don't really want Rogers here, so we're gonna make him 72 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: look like the bad guy that we haven't talked to him. 73 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: He's going on a darkness retreat. He's done more interviews 74 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: with the YouTube show that hosted by a former punter 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: than he has had conversations with his GM about the future. 76 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: Does that not strike you as a little odd? So? 77 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: I think it put put Rogers on the defensive. That's 78 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: one way to look at it. The other is they're 79 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: putting up yet another white flag. Hey, we haven't talked 80 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: to our quarterback. We don't know who the starter is. 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: I can't commit to our starting quarback because I don't 82 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: know what's going on. This could be a sign does 83 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: anybody want Aaron Rodgers. We don't have any concrete offers 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: from the Jets. We've got nothing that we like from 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: anyone else. It sounds like, according to Peter King, that 86 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders have no interest in Aaron Rodgers. And it's 87 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: weird because Peter King slid this into his column. I 88 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw this. I hear though 89 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: it might be smoked that none of the four teams, Houston, An, Indie, Vegas, 90 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Carolina want to want a Scotch tape veteran like thirty 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: nine year old Aaron Rodgers, and probably not Derek Carr. 92 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: Now that's a bit of a stunner that Vegas wants 93 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Rodgers, and I'm a little surprised. 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 1: Side note, Carolina doesn't want anything to do with car 95 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: That seemed like a really good fit. But nevertheless, so 96 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: if there's no market for Aaron Rodgers with Vegas and 97 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: the Jets are gassing up Derek Carr, I'm gonna ask 98 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: you guys. I know this is gonna sound crazy because 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: he's won a Super Bowl, he's got several MVP Awards. 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 1: Does anybody want Aaron Rodgers. That is a legitimate, serious 101 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: question heading into free agency, which starts in fourteen days, 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: And I think it's a real question to think about it. 103 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: Why would you want Aaron Rodgers given what he's gone 104 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: through here as a person off the field, and frankly, 105 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: he wasn't great on the field, not necessarily as a quarterback, 106 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: but with young receivers cultivating new friendships and relationships. You 107 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: had Romeo Dobbs come out. I'd say I have not 108 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: hang out with Aaron Rodgers outside of the facility once 109 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: all season, and that was in like late December. So 110 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about making friends. And listen, he's a 111 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: thirty nine year old single guy. He doesn't have a 112 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: ton in common with Christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs. But 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: do you remember the days where Aaron Rodgers would go 114 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: to Milwaukee Bucks games and be pounding beers with Baktiari 115 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: and these guys, and they'd be hanging out like I 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: don't know, that feels like something that happened pre COVID. 117 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: I would have to really look into it. And we 118 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: know COVID obviously kind of gotten ahead of Aaron Rodgers. 119 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: He played that I'm not what was the exact I 120 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: forgot the exact phrasing where he gave the impression that 121 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: he got vaccinated but he didn't actually get vaccinated, and 122 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: he was kind of doing that thing. And then he 123 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: went on Joe Rogan and he's like, well, I've done 124 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: my own research. Okay, thanks QB one. I'm just I 125 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: don't want to say COVID changed Daron Rodgers significant lee, 126 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: but ayahuasca darkness retreat this relationship with Rogan, playing games 127 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: with the media, playing games with the franchise front office. 128 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: Now you could argue, hey, he just learned all this 129 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: stuff from Brett Farve. He learned at the at the 130 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: foot of one of the great quarterbacks to hold his 131 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: franchise hostage, Brett Farve playing no, I'm out, no, I'm in, 132 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: No I want to stay. No, I'm good, I'm gonna 133 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: take off, and then he goes to my Jets, And 134 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: of course now the Jets are being used. Just hey man, 135 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: the Jets are desperate for a star quarterback. Why do 136 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: they Why do they come get Aaron Rodgers? And I've 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: been telling every Jets fan I know I want nothing 138 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: to do with this guy. Like the idea of giving 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: up draft capital for a thirty nine and a half 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: year old, well, it would be thirty nine. He's gonna 141 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: be forty in December. Not quite thirty nine and a 142 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: half yet for a thirty nine and a half year 143 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: old QB. I don't want to say he's past this prime. 144 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: The guy got was the MVP win or two years ago. 145 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: You know, I just I don't totally understand what the 146 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: market is for Aaron Rodgers. And you can sit there 147 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: and say, oh, come on, everybody would bend over backwards 148 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. Guys. In prepping for the podcast, I 149 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: went through the entire NFL. If the Raiders are indeed 150 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: out on Rogers, and let's say the Jets don't want 151 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: to give up enough because they don't have assurances for 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, we could go through like, are the Miami 153 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: Dolphins throwing all in for Aaron Rodgers for one season? 154 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: Now we know Stephen Ross does he did really want 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But financially, I cap you can't just slide 156 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in without making massive concessions. New England Patriots 157 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: not happening. I don't think the Jets, Bengals don't need him. 158 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Ravens nope, Steelers nope, Brown's nope. You've really got to 159 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: start to look at teams with the most cap room. 160 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: And as we had on the podcast, our guest yesterday 161 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: Manna in a stute point that Chicago Bears have the 162 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: most cap room now they went three and fourteen. Fox 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 164 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot 165 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. 166 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: Rogers has like made fun of their franchise, beating them 167 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: all the time, doing the belt celebration. I own you 168 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: all that fun stuff. But do you guys remember where 169 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: Brett Farve ended up after the Jets. He took the 170 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: Vikings to the NFC Championship game they lost in overtime 171 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to the Saints. I still remember Rogers, not for Rodgers 172 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: far through the interception and overtime. I think it was 173 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: overtime or late fourth quarter or whatever it was. But 174 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: can you see a scenario were the Packers all of 175 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: a sudden say we want to get in the air 176 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: and Rodgers business, we're three and fourteen. We'll move on 177 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: from Justin Fields We'll sell him to Atlanta or Carolina, 178 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: New Orleans, whoever wants him. Philadelphia has a good backup 179 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: to Jalen Hurts. But we will, we will move on 180 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: from Rogers and the Chicago Bears. He's now your problem. 181 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, if I'm a Bears fan, I absolutely do 182 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: not want anything to do with Rogers. And again you 183 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: keep going down the list. Tampa Bay cannot afford him. 184 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: Frank Reich has played the quarterback juggle game in indeed, 185 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: he's not going to Carolina and doing the same thing. 186 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. I don't know that. I don't is 187 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: that Dennis Allen defensive coach. Is that going to happen? 188 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons? You know they need a quarterback. But a 189 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: lot of speculation about Tannehill. It sounds like Tennessee's not 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna cut loose Tannehill. Atlanta did move off of Mariota, 191 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: but again you go down like Arizona Cardinals. No, they 192 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 1: can't afford him to Seattle. Throw something Hail Mary and 193 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: say let's move on from Gino. Let's get rid of 194 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: Jamal adamsphere of cap room and get Aaron Rodgers. I 195 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: just can't see it. I don't know that there's a 196 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: market at all for a mercurial, thirty nine year old 197 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: sing guy who doesn't like to work with young guys, 198 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: may or may not want to show up for OTA's 199 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: offseason stuff. Who wants? Who wants that in their locker room? 200 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: He's green Bay's problem. And then green Bay really has 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: a problem because what do you do with Jordan Love? 202 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: And I know we don't know what Jordan Love is, 203 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: but are you just gonna not even give the guy 204 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: a shot? You traded up to get him in the 205 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: first round? And then because of Rogers what Now? Remember 206 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: Brady in New England was so ticked off that they 207 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: drafted Garoppolo. The rumor has it Brady went to Craft 208 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: and demanded that they trade Garoppolo. And of course, what 209 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: does Belichick do. Sends it to his old buddy, Mike 210 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: Shanahan's son Kyle in San Francisco, where he knows Garoppolo 211 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: is going to have some success. Garoppolo ends up going 212 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl, nearly winning it, and you know, 213 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: was possibly going to another super Bowl this year. Now, 214 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: who know, who knows where Garoppolo will end up. But 215 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: I know that's gonna sound crazy. To a lot of people. 216 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: All Jay, you're being crazy. Oh you gotta bring in 217 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Just be careful with your wish. Four Jets fans, okay, 218 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of success, and I don't necessarily 219 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: think Rogers would totally work out with the New York 220 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: Football Jets. One other quick college note and I let 221 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: this marinade. I was stuck in some traffic, and this 222 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: is what I do when I'm stuck in traffic. I 223 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: opened the note section on my phone and I started 224 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: to think, Man, it's weird how Jalen Hurts slipped through 225 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: the cracks. Huh, let me let me look some stuff 226 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: up here. So Jalen Hurts second round pick, he had 227 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: forty two starts in college see six one two twenty eight. 228 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: And I started thinking of other non first round picks 229 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: who slipped through the cracks. Dak Prescott fourth round. Now 230 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, Dak's not gonna win an MVP, I don't think, 231 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: but mid round pick you were able to have a 232 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: quarterback on the cheap for a minute. Of course, they 233 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: screwed it up and could not get to the super Bowl. 234 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott, here's another interesting thing. Forty nine college games, 235 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: thirty three starts, so that's over two seasons worth of 236 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: starts at Mississippi State. And look at a size six 237 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: two to twenty six Hurts and Prescott also not traditional 238 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: pocket guys, one with their legs a lot in college. 239 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: And then the other guy came up with Russell Wilson, 240 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: a little bit older, went third round again, starts in 241 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: college fifty in fifty one games. Now his size five 242 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: eleven two o four a little smaller than Hurts and Prescott. 243 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: And it's weird because I started to look at this 244 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: draft and most of it stemmed from me being unimpressed 245 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: with Bryce Young and Will Levis. Well, I mean again, 246 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm not like bashing these guys, just largely unimpressed that 247 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't spend a top five pick on these guys, 248 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: Will Levis, c J. Stroud, who I like, and Anthony 249 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Richardson like, if you could give any of those to 250 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: me in like the late first round, second round, I'll 251 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: take them, but top five. And again, you look at 252 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks that were drafted in the top five, 253 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: A lot of them have been bus guys a lot. 254 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: That's just how it works. You are a bad team. 255 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: You draft a quarterback early. He doesn't fit. You've got 256 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: coaching change, you've got offensive coordinator change, and boom, next 257 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: thing you know, it's over. Like where's Josh Rosen these days? 258 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: He went tenth, Baker Mayfield, it's over, not gonna be 259 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: a starter, Carson Wentz, not gonna be a starter, Zach 260 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Wilson looks like it's already over. Trey Lance don't know, probably, 261 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean he went second, Trey Lance. So you start 262 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: looking at these guys and you're like, all right, well, 263 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: maybe none of them are gonna make it. And I 264 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: start thinking, like I the real value these days in 265 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: a quarterback is if you are able to build the 266 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure around the quarterback and then you can plug in 267 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: not just anyone, but a quarterback who has started somewhere 268 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood of thirty to forty games. And I 269 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: think the key is being a dual threat kind of 270 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: guy where you maybe ran more in college because you 271 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: were a great athlete and it was best for the team, 272 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: but you could also win from the pocket. They just 273 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: didn't really have you do that. And again this I've 274 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: mentioned this guy's name a couple of times here. I 275 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: know he did not look great against Georgia, But just 276 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: check out Max Duggan. Okay, he obviously is a capable runner. 277 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: The GCU quarterback very accurate. I'm just if you said 278 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: to me, Jason, would you rather have Max Duggan at 279 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: the end of the third round or any of the 280 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks in the top five, I would say, Well, 281 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: let me amend that if I'm the Bears getting Max 282 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: done in the third round, You're not going to be 283 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: able to do anything with that because the Bears stink, 284 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: and no quarterback who goes there is going to really 285 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: have a shot. So what you've got to do is 286 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: find out a team that's kind of good, maybe has 287 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: that infrastructure in place, and is it necessarily a quarterback away, 288 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: but is a quarterback who's competent and safe and not 289 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: going to make mistakes away from making your team a 290 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: little bit better the way Hurts did, the way Russell 291 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: Wilson did. Remember the Seahawks that offseason had gotten Matt Flynn. 292 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: They spent money on Matt Flynn and still took Ross 293 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: in the third round. Just a stroke of genius. And 294 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: you start looking around the league and you're like, wow, okay, 295 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: is there an argument could you make the case that 296 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: if you put a guy like Max Duggan in the 297 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins offense, Max Duggan six two two ten, not 298 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: a cannon arm, but a good arm, can win with 299 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: his legs. Could Max Duggan do some damage there? Because 300 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: remember they had massive quarterback issues, still got to the 301 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: playoffs with Skylar Thomson as their backup. Could you put 302 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: Max Duggan? And again, I'm not saying this guy's incredible, 303 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: but I'm still looking at the value where you're spending 304 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: a draft capital in the third or fourth round. You're 305 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: plugging him into a system where you've got playmakers, you've 306 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: got a smart offensive coach. I mean, I respect Mike 307 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: pec Daniel a lot. I think a lot of quarterbacks 308 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: can go in there and have success. Now, this next 309 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: team is going to make some of my buddies out 310 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: here in LA not happy. But if you look at 311 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: the LA Rams and you consider Sean McVeagh is really 312 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: freaking smart. Okay, he turned Jared Goff and to a 313 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: guy who went to a super Bowl. He got Matt Stafford, 314 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: who had zero career playoff wins, and Matt Stafford won 315 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: a super Bowl in his first playoff run with the Rams. 316 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: Now they don't have a ton of other stuff yet. 317 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: But why wouldn't a guy like McVeigh take a chance 318 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: on a mid round quarterback and try to have success 319 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: around a young guy who can win in his system? 320 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you, guys. I trust 321 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: McVeigh with just about any quarterback. He's that good of 322 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: a play caller. I mean, you want to you want 323 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: to take a step further. If San Francisco forty nine 324 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: ers just keep rebooting the quarterback clock, why wouldn't you, 325 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: Brock Purty Trey Lance, do you add another one? Why not? 326 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: Purtie's coming off of a major injury. He was good. 327 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: But if Brock purtye the dead last pick in the draft, 328 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: can win, was it seven eight games in a row 329 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: and get your team into the NFC Championship, what's to 330 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: say Max ug couldn't go in there and maybe do 331 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: a similar thing. And again, Max fits the profile a 332 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: lot of college starts forty three college starts at TCU. 333 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: It's necessarily about the wins. It's the reps. Forty three 334 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: college starts capable runnery at twenty eight rushing touchdowns. Now 335 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 1: he's not a Jalen Hurts type runner, but Max Duggans 336 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: certainly can win with his legs when needed. And I 337 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: just I'm big on you guys know, I'm bullish on 338 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: this whole win with a cheap quarterback. And I think 339 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: we're gonna see some craziness here at the top of 340 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: the draft, because my gut tells me that nobody's really 341 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna want to trade up for Bryce Young or c J. 342 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Strout or Will Levis and certainly not Anthony Richardson. Fox 343 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 344 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot 345 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: com and within the iHeart Radio app. Search f SR 346 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: to listen live. By the way, I talked to a 347 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: couple of people about why Anthony Richardson's draft number one 348 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: overall odds went from like fifty two to one or 349 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: fifty something to one down to like seven to one, 350 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of it is these some of these 351 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: dumb mock drafts that are out, like I'm talking mock 352 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: draft before the even before the combine, just from some 353 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: big outlet that I don't even know if they I 354 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: don't even know who The author of the mock draft 355 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: was not somebody credible who's had a history of success 356 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: with mock drafts, and this guy to get attention, obviously 357 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: put Anthony Richardson first. So what did all these Jabronis 358 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: do out there? Who are gamblers? Oh my, Anthony Richardson? 359 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: Why he could go number one? Because this outlet said so, 360 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: and it's a TV network outlet. And next thing, you know, 361 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody, all these guys are all 362 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: let me put one hundred bucks on Anthony Richardson, one 363 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: hundred and one shot, sorry, fifty to one. Let me 364 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: put one hundred bucks on, and I can make a 365 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: lot of money, long shot. I'm telling you right now, 366 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: no way Anthony Richardson goes first overall. I'm sure so 367 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: people will clip this off and hope that it happens, 368 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: and then you could blow me up on the internet. 369 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: Look at this idiot said, no chance. I'm telling you 370 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: it's March first. Anthony Richardson will not go number one overall. 371 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: I know people who were working closely with him during 372 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: this season in Florida, he listened, unbelievable athletic talent? Is 373 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: he remember the frand for Shila line a year away 374 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: from being a year away or was that that. I 375 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: hope I didn't put your the line. We'll have Frand 376 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: on the pod soon to talk college basketball. But it's 377 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: very clear Anthony Richardson. It's you don't take a major 378 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: project at number one. You just don't. There's no way 379 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears are going Anthony Richardson. Could somebody trade 380 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: up for him? I don't see it happening. It just 381 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. I mean, you could do better with c. J. 382 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Stroud with Bryce Young than you could Anthony Richardson. But Jay, 383 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: the upside of Richardson. Sure you want the upside of him. 384 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: Take him in the twenties. Go ahead, take him in 385 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 1: the top five. There's a chance that GM's god be 386 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: on his way out the door within the next two years. Now, 387 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: if you are a safe GM where you know you're protected, 388 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: like Schneider in Seattle, who you know they have the 389 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: top six pick in the draft via trade, Like, yeah, 390 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: maybe he takes a chance. Hey we got Gino, we'll 391 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: franchise tag Gino, and then maybe Richard's gonna be ready. 392 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: I can see that. But guess what they're not picking first. 393 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: So get over the Anthony Richardson going number one thing, 394 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: and the smart move is to look for value, untapped value. 395 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you it's going to be in one 396 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: of these mid round quarterbacks who's gonna pop and surprise 397 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: the hell out of everyone, because that's what's been happening 398 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: in the last few years. Look, second, third, fourth round, 399 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pop. I mean, brock Pirty was seventh round. Guys, 400 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: it's happening. It's gonna happen more and more often because 401 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: these guys are overlooked because they're a little older. And 402 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: if you know that, you know the drill. If you 403 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: sit around too long in college, all of a sudden 404 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: there's too much tape on you and it's easy to 405 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: pick you apart. So why does Zach Wilson go second 406 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: to my jets? Oh? Well, you know, Zach Wilson, through 407 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: what started like fifteen games at BYU, maybe had a 408 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: couple incredible throws. Oh, I see what he can be. 409 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: Oh this guy could be amazing. We gotta grab Zack 410 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: Wilson second. Guys, I fell for it. You go back 411 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: and list of the pod, read my stuff. I fell 412 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: for it, the Mormon mahomes. It was fun. Lessons learned. 413 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: I will wrap up with a couple items on the 414 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: NBA briefly. On another day, I might lead with this, 415 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: but did you see the Dallas Mavericks dropped to one 416 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: and four with Kyrie and Luca playing together. I feel 417 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: kind of dumb for liking the MAVs to get out 418 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: of the West or even get to the Western Conference Finals. 419 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Luca was phenomenal coming off that brutal Sunday 420 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: defeat against the Lakers. Luke at thirty nine, nine and six, 421 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: and they lost to the Pacers trail basically the entire game. 422 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: And for the third time with this duo Kyrie and Luca, 423 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: they had a shot at a game tying or game 424 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: winning shot in the final fifteen seconds and they missed. 425 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: This time it was Kyrie. They inbounded to Kyrie. TJ McConnell, 426 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: the immortal TJ McConnell, former seventy six er, goes and 427 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: locks up Kyrie, who misses. The three MAVs lose. I'm 428 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: not going to panic, but don't look great for the 429 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: Mavericks right now. Lakers, of course, lost to Memphis. I 430 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything super important to take away. Anthony 431 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: Davis actually played pretty well and you know, John Morant 432 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: went off and in the third quarter and Memphis is 433 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: all excited, enjoy it. I actually think bigger, a bigger 434 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: result than Memphis over the Lakers was my Sacramento Kings 435 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: getting another win. Folks. They are gonna be the third 436 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: seed in the West. That's where it is headed right now, 437 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: short of an injury. For the first time since two 438 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: thousand and five, the Sacramento Kings are eleven games over 439 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: five hundred. And you remember the two thousand and five team, right, 440 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: surely you do the fun run that those Kings had 441 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: see Web Pagia, Stroyakovic, Mike Bibbie, Bobby Jackson, who was 442 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: a really good college basketball player in Minnesota, Katino Mobli. 443 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that was an awesome run that the Kings had. 444 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: They could never get past Shack and Kobe's Lakers, but 445 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: these Sacramono Kings are fun, man. And you know, Colhard 446 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: on the show yesterday did an interesting top ten duos 447 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: in the league, and of course Sabonis and Fox were 448 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: not in the top ten. He said they were eleven. 449 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: Throwing me a boone, obviously, because I've been pumping up 450 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: the Kings on the show. And he shuts me down 451 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: all the time, but I do think I'm pretty certain 452 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: Sabonis leads the NBA and double doubles. Daron Fox has 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: to be an All NBA Garden. By the way, the 454 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: All NBA discussion is it's gonna be really difficult this year. 455 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: I think you gotta get Sabonis and or Fox both 456 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: on the team. Guys, they've been incredible all NBA caliber. 457 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: The numbers back it up. Finally, you know, for a 458 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: while I thought Boston in the East was going to 459 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: be the number one seed. And here's the bad news. 460 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: Nobody can beat the Bucks. They've won fifteen games in 461 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: a row, and the Milwaukee Bucks Ladies and gentlemen are 462 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: now the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. This, 463 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: of course, is bad news for my theory that the 464 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: Sixers would lose in the second round to the Bucks 465 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: and then Harden would leave and Embad would then force 466 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: his way out. But they're doing this with Chris Middleton 467 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: playing inferior basketball. He's coming off the bench lately. I 468 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: gotta be honest, I'm stunned at this Milwaukee Bucks run. 469 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: Right here. Fifteen wins in a row, they beat the Nets. 470 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: Now that's nothing special although, but call Bridges continues to 471 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: be excellent for them. The Bucks, if they get the 472 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: number one seed in the East, I think you could come. 473 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: You never want to pencil anybody in the finals, but guys, 474 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: you look at the East and it's just not very 475 00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: deep after the top five. I mean, I guess, I 476 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: guess Miami is probably gonna get six as Brooklyn continues 477 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: to creator. I need my Hawks, who lost a tough one. 478 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: Trey Young had two threes, a chance to tie the game, 479 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: missed them. They were good looks too. Hawks and Heat 480 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: are kind of a quasi dangerous six is seed, but 481 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: it basically the Celtics path if they get the two 482 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: will likely be Atlanta or Brooklyn and then Sixers. Yeah, 483 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I just I don't think that's great. That 484 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: is not you don't want to face the six or 485 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: second round. Now, if you're the Bucks, you don't mind 486 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: because the honest is going to dominate that series. But 487 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: the Celtics don't have a great matchup for Himbiid Horford 488 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: and Time Lord. I guess could split Time, but then 489 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: the counter is obviously the The Sixers cannot defend Tatum 490 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: and Brown on the wings. They just they don't have 491 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: the horses. The Harden doesn't defend Maxie's too small, Tobias Harris's. 492 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: So I mean, I still like a Boston Milwaukee Conference finals, 493 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: but I want the Celtics go back to the finals 494 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: because you know, a big big man crush on Jason Tatum. 495 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: At any rate, I think that'll be all for today. 496 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: I'm very excited March Mandis is under way.
