11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Yo and Big moments in sports sometimes take us by surprise.

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes on an idle Friday night where oh, I wasn't

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: expecting anything, we got the conference championship games in the

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: NFL coming up this week at Yeah Football Friday, previewing

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: these college football a huge story involving the playoff.

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: We'll get to come up in a few minutes.

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: We got lots of stuff happening, but this really, right now,

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: this moment in time, midnight, twelve oh two on the

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: East coast, nine oh two on the West coast, does

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: lose this fit. The Knicks didn't play tonight, but we

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: may wind up being big winners after this. Next couple minutes,

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: mister smart guy. Right now in Milwaukee, the Nuggets lead

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the Bucks ninety nine to ninety four with thirty seconds

24
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: left to go in regulation. The Bucks have the ball.

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Why is this a big deal? You know the drama

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: that's been going on the last week or two with

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Giannis and the Bucks. And look, we've told you for

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: a long time, Jannis is gonna get traded. He's gonna

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: be out at some point, and it's just going to

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: come to a head. But both sides they see the

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: outcome of what happens when Luka Doncic gets traded, and

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: we really want to just sort of back up and yeah,

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: we want to make sure we handle this the right

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: way because look, nice, look, Jannis is a guy doesn't

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: want Milwaukee. He's had great times there, great part of

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: his career there. Doesn't want Milwaukee and the fans to

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: be really upset and have another Luca Dallas Maverick situation

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: go on. And the Bucks don't want to be on

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the hook for you tried it, the best player we've

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: ever had. What the hell is wrong with you?

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: So it has to be nuanced a little bit. Now.

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: You had the report's last off season because We've got

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: to go back to get to where we are right now.

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: It's like a TV show where hey, we give you

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: a little bit and then we go back and tell

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: you how we get to this point. Right Like we

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: show you Cranston driving the meth truck and his underwear

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: and a gas mask on.

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: Has said, all right, how do we get to this point?

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: Jason? This is where you hold up the Laker logo.

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: We got time to get to that. We have time

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: to get to that.

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: So you go back to last off season where it

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't go well. It hasn't gone well for the Bucks

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: since they tried to make moves to turn them back

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: into a championship team. Right, Doc Rivers coming in has

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: not worked. We knew that wasn't gonna work. Damian Lillard

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: coming in didn't work. We thought that was gonna work,

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: but Lillard couldn't stay healthy. It never worked out. Now

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: he's sitting out a season rehabbing, and he's gonna be

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: back with the Blazers. So we had the story last

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: offseason that potentially Janice's people potentially talked to the Knicks

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: about that being his preferred destination. He denied that the

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Knicks right the Knicks replaced Tom Thibodeau and hired Mike Brown,

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Knicks said, well, let's give our

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: new coach opportunity. Let's go with the other year with

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns. We can always revisit if we need to,

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: but these are the moves we're making right now. So

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: we go through the summer beginning of the season.

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: Ah.

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Another story that Janice's people reached out to the Bucks

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: when the Bucks started out poorly to find out and

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: really just iron out if Milwaukee is the best place

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: for Jannis to continue on with his career. Are they

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: going to be a winner again or should he be

76
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: going someplace else? Now, these reports were all pushed off

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: again Janna said, I'm not gonna ask for a trade.

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: Okay. Then a week ago you.

79
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Had Jannis, who who probably had his fill with the

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee fans booing them as Milwaukee's fans booed them during

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: a loss. Jannis goes up, gets an end one the

82
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: fans are booing, and Yannis sitting down very famous, putting

83
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: his thumbs down, booing the fans. We do that moment, Okay,

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: this is yes, Janice is telling leanness is done. When

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: you are booing the fans. Yes, I get why they're

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: booing you because you've been terrible. The team has been bad.

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: If a team is playing poorly and they're not winning, yeah,

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: your fans are gonna boo.

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: That's how it goes.

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: But Yannis, of course, you know, hey, I'm taking this

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: to that next level. When you're booing your own fans,

92
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: you are finding a way out the door.

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: Right.

94
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: Nobody really comes back from taking on their own teams fans.

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: So now a few days later, everything else goes by,

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: and Yannis a day ago, rips his teammates, questions their

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: their effort. We're not playing well, we're playing lazy. I

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: mean everything that you would say that that a guy

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: could say to light his team up. Yannis said, okay,

100
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: So in the span of a week, now he's had

101
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: it with the fans, he's had it with his teammates.

102
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: To now you go after Doc tonight the night.

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Well because why because well listen, if you want to

104
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: hanging fruit. If no, if he wants out, he doesn't

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: want Doc following him. I want Doc quick. Yeah, dog,

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: you gotta stay here, man, I don't want that. So

107
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: now you get to tonight's game where the Nuggets come

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: into Milwaukee and they are blowing Milwaukee out through three quarters,

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: they are up by twenty. Well, this is why, why

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: is this a big deal? No Yokic, no Murray, no Valanchunis.

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Eight players are hurt for the Nuggets that are out

112
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: tonight again no Jokic and no Jamal Murray, and they

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: were up by twenty going to the fourth quarter. Now

114
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Milwaukee has since cut it. Now they've had a big

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They've cut it to two with seventeen seconds

116
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: left to go. But you can see many times during

117
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: this game, and there's video all over social media on

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: it plays where Yannis looks less than enthused. There's one

119
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: possession where he doesn't even cross mid court when the

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Bucks have the ball. He's kind of hanging his head

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: and there's a time out and he walks to the

122
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: sideline and you can just tell by his body language

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: he feels like he's done. This feels like that watershed moment.

124
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: And again, this may be the most important seventeen seconds

125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee Bucks history, depending how they go with this game,

126
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: but tonight kind of feels like that watershed moment. You know,

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: even win or lose, where in the last week, It's

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: gone from Yannis booing the fans, taking on his teammates

129
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: and ripping them, and now the effort that he had

130
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: throughout a lot of the game tonight. And if they

131
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: wind up losing at home to a Nuggets team without

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: three of their four best players, this is gonna be it.

133
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: This is the moment where he's done. And if I'm

134
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: the Knicks or the Lakers, or the Warriors or the Rockets,

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: I am on the phone with Milwaukee at the end

136
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: of this game saying, what do you want?

137
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: What can we do? Tell me what you want? What

138
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: are we gonna do?

139
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: Because let's make a deal, because this is where the

140
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks have no choice but to understand.

141
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Things are just so bad and I can't see how

142
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna get better.

143
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: Are you really gonna get past this?

144
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: You're not.

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: If I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, Mike,

146
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: I would tell you I could see it. But you

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: have a Bucks team that's bad and getting worse. You

148
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: have a relationship with Giannis and the fans and his

149
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: teammates that is bad and getting worse. There's nobody coming

150
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: to the rescue. There's not a big trade to be made.

151
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing coming up here that tells you that, Well,

152
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: they're going through some dark times, right What did Kobe say?

153
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: We're going through some dark clouds right now, but we're

154
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna get through it.

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: Don't worry. I don't see there being any light at

156
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel.

157
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: And this is where everybody's just gonna look at each

158
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: other and shake their heads and go, Okay, it's time.

159
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: We've gotten everything we have out of the Yannis era.

160
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: We've seen his best, We've won a championship. It's awesome,

161
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: but it's clear that now we have have to move on.

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Now.

163
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: They'll probably do it together. There will have joint statements.

164
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be a sources Bucks and Yannis

165
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: to pursue trades and it will be very very very

166
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: above board, and both sides will be complimentary of each other.

167
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: And the Bucks are gonna say we need to rebuild. Unfortunately,

168
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Yannis will say I want to win, and I understand

169
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: where the Bucks are at. Kind of like a version

170
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: of the rich Paul Lebron, where hey, we get where

171
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers are at rebuilding around Luca, but Lebron wants

172
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: to win a championship.

173
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be very complimentary. It's not gonna be awful.

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be James Harden finding his way out

175
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 1: or Kevin Durant finding his way out. Jannas is not

176
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to a podium and say Doc

177
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: Rivers is a liar. Let me say this again, Doc

178
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Rivers is a liar. But that's what's going to happen.

179
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if that story kicks into

180
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: high gear Yanna's trade and it's a big story. You know,

181
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: we're coming up on the deadline now, we're less than

182
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: two weeks away from it. So this is now gonna

183
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: be a big, hot and heavy story. And I wouldn't

184
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: be surprised if tomorrow we at the beginnings of this

185
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: where the Bucks are open to doing it, and it

186
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: will happen, and it's just where does Giannis wind up?

187
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

188
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 6: I think the curiosity is the part from yesterday of

189
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 6: going after the teammates right more or less doing what

190
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 6: McDermott did in that meeting with the Bills. Evidently, hey,

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 6: we're not good enough, but he did the quiet potter.

192
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 4: These guys aren't good enough they're not giving me effort

193
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: up and down the court. What are we doing right?

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: And maybe he has to go and talk about how

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 6: some other team made an acquisition. I mean, look what

196
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 6: he's doing there, like McDermott did with Jacoby Myers for

197
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 6: this game. It's interesting right one on one, one hundred

198
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 6: and four point five seconds left. Giannis on the night,

199
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 6: four of eight from the field, fourteen of sixteen from

200
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 6: the foul line, so just living there, thirteen board, seven

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: assists in his thirty two minutes. All of that to say,

202
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 6: I've got the solution. And you mentioned his name, Okay,

203
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 6: Rich Paul, He's got a dissatisfied quiet ware Dallas, Texas.

204
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 6: Now do I want to put the voodoo of Anthony

205
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 6: Davis on anybody? No, But when we talk about the

206
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 6: ability to be a difference maker, you know, when he's

207
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 6: on the court and wants play, Anthony Davis fits that bill,

208
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: the salary thing, you match those up, all of that

209
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 6: works out, like all of those boxes get checked.

210
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 4: You get a guy who's still regarded.

211
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: By some as a superstar, probably with a lowercase S

212
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 6: at this point, or maybe you've taken the superman logo

213
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 6: off his chest. Altogether, and you can see the remnants

214
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,359
Speaker 6: of what was all that to say, there's your opportunity

215
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 6: perhaps for the Bucks to get away from this. They're

216
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 6: eighteen and twenty six now after this one, right, and

217
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,359
Speaker 6: nine and twelve at home. As you said, a depleted

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 6: roster for the Nuggets tonight. They did have six guys

219
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 6: go into double figures, Brown and Hardaway Junior off the bench,

220
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 6: combining for thirty two.

221
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: It is over in Milwaukee, and the Nuggets win it

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: one oh two to one hundred. They have five guys

223
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: starting for them tonight who I think make a combined

224
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: one point four million dollars gets paid.

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: That's true.

226
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Gordon gets me. He makes up for it. He didn't

227
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: even have the big night. He was there. He was

228
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: their fourth leading sports and Tim Hardaway Junior and Bruce

229
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Brown we're drilling it off the bench tonight. I mean, really,

230
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: this is where I don't even wait until tomorrow morning.

231
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: If I'm these teams, I call the Bucks right now,

232
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: because you know, the frustration level is at a peak

233
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: and they know they're going to have to move on.

234
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: And quite honestly, if look, I don't know that. And

235
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: this is the part with the money that's out there.

236
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Lakers.

237
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: Have what it takes to Landiannis. I don't know.

238
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: The two teams aren't because if they have the salary

239
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: and the desire, where Giannis would want to go obviously

240
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: the Knicks because it was reported that that was a

241
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Destination's wanted to go to earlier. The Knicks have the salary,

242
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: They have the star player or too, Karl Anthony Towns

243
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: that they can trade in return. But watch out for

244
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors. The Warriors too, they can put together a

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: couple of young players and some draft picks and Jannis

246
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: to go out and play and see if Jannis and

247
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: Steph can work out. I mean, that's the only way,

248
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: that's the only Hail Mary that the Warriors can throw

249
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: to save their season, right, because the things look awful.

250
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, Jimmy Butler out for the year. We told

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: you there a three part plan to be competitive again

252
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: and get back to being a championship team. Was Jimmy

253
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Butler last year at the deadline and another star at

254
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the deadline now. So with Jimmy Butler out, that's tough.

255
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: But hey, Steph is thirty seven man. I mean, you

256
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: can't just sit here and say, well, we'll get back

257
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: at him next year. I made it the two teams

258
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: that I would say, hey, where Jannis can can would

259
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: be the biggest addition to where it would really scratch

260
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: an itch, potentially championship kind of guy.

261
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nix and the Warriors.

262
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if I thought the Lakers, if I thought

263
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: for a second, the Bucks would take you know, look,

264
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're not taking Lebron.

265
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 3: Lebron's not gonna go there.

266
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: But if I thought if the Lakers could trade Lebron there,

267
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: they would love to do it.

268
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: But that's not gonna happen.

269
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: And they're not gonna trade Austin Reeves for you in

270
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: a deal for Yanni's Like, that's not gonna happen. But

271
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: if I thought the Lakers had the assets, I mean, look,

272
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: they could always do something crazy, right, Magic Johnson could

273
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: make a phone call and get involved. But really, I

274
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: would say the two teams, the Nix and the Warriors

275
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: be the top two teams.

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: I can see him going.

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: It doesn't make it. Dropped the rock guy.

278
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,880

00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: at home.

313
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: We they came back and made a close Yeah, but

314
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: Doug mo wasn't on the sideline.

315
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: Uh Uh, Doug bout Doug moh was so much fun.

316
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

317
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: You see Yannis at times looking disinterested tonight, all the

318
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: drama the last week he's taken on the team's fans

319
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: and his players. Uh tomorrow, I'm not gonna be surprised

320
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: if we hear reports the Bucks and Yannis know it

321
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: is time for them to part ways.

322
00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: So where could he end up?

323
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Nobody better to talk to bankers than our Vegas insider,

324
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: former odds maker at Caesars.

325
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: You see him on.

326
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: TSN, CBS, host of places. He's on Twitter at Todd Furman.

327
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: It is the aforementioned Todd Ferman, Bud, what's happening, man?

328
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: How are you?

329
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 8: I'm doing all right, gentlemen. Hopefully you guys are as well.

330
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 8: This fine Friday night, about what thirty six hours away

331
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 8: from championship Sunday, and then we all get to suffer

332
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 8: through the next seven and a half eight months without

333
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 8: football other than the Super Bowl in front of us.

334
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: Now, wait, we got free agency, and then we have

335
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: the draft. That will be okay for a little while, Todd,

336
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: and the okay for a little bit.

337
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 9: You're a Jets fan, you don't have much to look

338
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 9: forward to. Let not sugar coat here.

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I have the Knicks and the Mets are going to

340
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the World Series after all our big signings.

341
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: I am just fine, Todd.

342
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Worry about yourself and your golden nights, Okay, just worry

343
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: about just worry about that, Okay, worry.

344
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 8: About Oh look, I mean I think at this point,

345
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 8: I mean, if you can finish second in the National

346
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 8: League and lose in the National League Championship Series, that's

347
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 8: considered a win in this day and age. So for

348
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 8: the Matsu Sather to go from fifteen to one down

349
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 8: to twelve to one, their win total tick up from

350
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 8: eighty eight and a half to ninety and a half

351
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 8: with a busy week they've had. That only slots them

352
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 8: about twelve games behind the Dodgers for best record in

353
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 8: the National League.

354
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 9: If you believe the odds makers.

355
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so that's fine.

356
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: Can you tell me give me the odds that the

357
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to ruin Fernando Mendoza? Is that even money?

358
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 6: Is it?

359
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: I'm even taking bets on that?

360
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 8: Or I got eight sure for that, even Bunny, that's

361
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 8: a odds on favorite.

362
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 9: And it's a massive osvor.

363
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 8: I think the biggest question is ken Fernando Mendoza endure

364
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 8: what this city will throw at him.

365
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: Both on and off the field.

366
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 9: I mean, he is a man with.

367
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 8: Strong moral fiber, but this town has worn down even

368
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 8: the best of us over the years, especially a gentleman

369
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 8: in his early twenties with nothing but discretionary income in

370
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 8: temptation all around him.

371
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 4: So who's number two? How do they live it instead

372
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: of ruining? A good man.

373
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Said?

374
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 9: The interesting part will be with the Raiders.

375
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 8: Will they have a head coaching place by the time

376
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 8: the NFL Draft rolls around, Because the way they're going

377
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 8: right now, the answer is about fifty to fifty. They

378
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 8: may still be looking to figure out who will be

379
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 8: in charge of that organization outside of the shadow leaders

380
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 8: in Tom Brady and John Spytech.

381
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: All right, so as you know, we're seeing what happens

382
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: there with the draft we get going this weekend before

383
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: we get into the games, what kind if I said

384
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: odds for you, because I'm sure you know now it's

385
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: a big story today, what kind of odds would you

386
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: give me that the Bills hire Philip Rivers to be

387
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: their head coach.

388
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 8: I mean, it's pretty wild to see this story kind

389
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 8: of come from out of nowhere. I know, Philip Rivers

390
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 8: has been lauded for his ability to grasp NFL offenses,

391
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 8: both of course as a player as we've seen throughout

392
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 8: his career, and then what he's done at the head

393
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 8: coaching level from a high school standpoint and stepping right

394
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 8: in and able to throw the eight yard out pattern

395
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 8: like he did for the Colts at least for a

396
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 8: couple of games. I mean, he's his second favorite for

397
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 8: that organization. Now, I'm not sure how much stock I

398
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: necessarily put in that, but at the same time, I

399
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 8: don't think the Bills are in the business of wasting

400
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 8: anybody's time other than their fans who believe that eventually

401
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 8: that franchise will win a Super Bowl. But it's going

402
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 8: to be fascinating to see if he actually does become

403
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 8: the guy in charge and you can say what you want.

404
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 8: The Bills have involved Josh Allen in their.

405
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 9: Head coaching search.

406
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 8: I'm not sure if that's always a good thing or

407
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 8: a bad thing when you allow some of your stars

408
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 8: to have that much kind of input. It never happened

409
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 8: in New England, then look that scenario played out a

410
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 8: variety of different ways.

411
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: I love the chaos of it all, just like we

412
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: have in the Denver, New England game.

413
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: The spread last I saw down to four Pittrid's minus

414
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 6: four forty three the total.

415
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 4: What do you expect it from Jared Stidham in this one?

416
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 8: I think that's one hundred million dollar question that nobody

417
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 8: knows what to expect, even Sean Payton and Jared Stidham

418
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 8: going into this game. From a odds perspective, though, we

419
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 8: did see this number open as high as six when

420
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 8: points spreads were posted last Sunday, when we knew this

421
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 8: was going to be the.

422
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 9: AFT championship matchup.

423
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 8: You immediately saw an appetite from professional betters to kind

424
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 8: of bet the underdog here, thinking that Bonick not worth

425
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 8: a full touchdown to the point spread like this adjustment suggested.

426
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 8: And now we're sitting in that four four and a

427
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 8: half range, But I do anticipate we're going to see

428
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 8: another wave of support for the Denver Broncos, driving this

429
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 8: to three and a half before the number gets a

430
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 8: little bit larger. Back in that four and a half.

431
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 8: I don't think we'll see a six range, but I

432
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 8: think the move that would fascinate a lot of people.

433
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 8: When you see a backup quarterback, you immediately assume that

434
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 8: it's going to be a defensive minded football game. This

435
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 8: total has been met up from forty one to forty three,

436
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 8: and I think a big part of that is when

437
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 8: you go in through New England's matchups that they face

438
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 8: the first two rounds, they've played arguably the two worst

439
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 8: offensive lines in the entire league, in the form of

440
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 8: the Chargers and Texans. Both rank outside the top thirty

441
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 8: in their pass blocking and run blocking capabilities. Denver's firmly

442
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 8: inside the top ten. So if they're able to protect

443
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 8: Jared Stidham and give him time in the pocket. This

444
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 8: is a Patriots secondary that can be a little bit vulnerable,

445
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 8: and I think we could be pleasantly surprised by the

446
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 8: level of offense that we'll see between these two teams,

447
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 8: especially if one of these sides has to play catchup.

448
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: All right, Todd, we head to the NFC. We have

449
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: the Rams against Sam Donald and the Seahawks. Do we

450
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: get a great Sam Donald performance or do we get

451
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: a jet Sam Donald performance? And the Rams are going

452
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl.

453
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 8: Well, the one thing that we've learned as NFL fans

454
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 8: over the years is that a USC quarterback is not

455
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 8: allowed to win the Super Bowl. So Sam Donald will

456
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 8: either lose on Sunday or I'll have to lose in

457
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 8: Santa Clara on Super Bowl Sunday instead. But this is

458
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 8: a game, guys, that I think every football fan really

459
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 8: wants to see. Arguably the two best teams in the league.

460
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 8: From the middle of the season on, we saw them

461
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 8: play that instant classic on Thursday Night Football, and here

462
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 8: we are treated to the rubber match.

463
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 9: The unique situation though in this game is that I.

464
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 8: Think the Rams are the better team that they lost

465
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 8: the second time around. I think the Seahawks were the

466
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 8: better team the first game around, the one that they lost.

467
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 8: This number opens three, that number didn't last. We're kind

468
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 8: of hovering in that two and a half, trending towards

469
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 8: two range. You have seen some under money as well,

470
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 8: from forty seven and a half down to forty six

471
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 8: and a half. And while a lot of people point

472
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 8: to the Seahawks backfield and what they're capable of doing,

473
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 8: I think the loss of Zax Charboney is a bigger

474
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 8: deal than people are letting on, mainly because we've ever

475
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 8: seen Kenneth Walker kind of take on the workload that

476
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 8: could be anticipated this Sunday. I think both quarterbacks have

477
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 8: questions about their health. Matthew Stafford with the finger and

478
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 8: if that's what impacting some of his accuracy, and Sam

479
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 8: Donald if he's going to be asked to throw the

480
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 8: ball substantially more than what we saw in the dominant

481
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 8: effort against the forty nine ers. So a lot of

482
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 8: interesting storylines here for me, and I really believe the

483
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 8: Rams are live underdogs going up to the Pacific Northwest.

484
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 8: They've been the better team on both sides of the ball,

485
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 8: at least for me, and I think they find a

486
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 8: way to get into the super Bowl.

487
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 9: As the NFC representative, yeah.

488
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 6: I wasn't pretty last week against my beloved Bears, but

489
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 6: no drops, no turnovers, take care of the football, Sean

490
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 6: McVeigh and company.

491
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Move on.

492
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 6: But for the Sam Donald question, the over under on

493
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: interceptions and things of that, what kind of action do

494
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 6: you see on prop bets for a guy who's so polarizing, It's.

495
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 8: Definitely one that will generate a ton of buzz on

496
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 8: game day. If you want to bet Sam Donald to

497
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 8: throw an interception at curb, price is minus a doll

498
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 8: do sixty and for those folks not familiar with gambling parlance,

499
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 8: means you'd have to put up one dollar and sixty

500
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 8: cents to win a dollar coming back with an implied

501
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 8: probability of north of sixty percent.

502
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 9: That scenario plays out.

503
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 8: If you think Sam Donald is going to be extremely

504
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 8: generous with the football and throw multiple interceptions, two picks

505
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 8: will get you around five and a half six to one.

506
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 8: And I kind of joked on social media last week

507
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 8: there was no price offered on CJ. Stroud to throw

508
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 8: five of them, and I have not seen a price

509
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 8: on Sam Donald to throw three or more either.

510
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Frostburg wants me to ask you, what's the over

511
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: under on how many ghosts Sam Donald sees.

512
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 3: During the game.

513
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 9: I mean, maybe they've been vanquished. You never know.

514
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: Bill Murray could be in attendance along with the rest

515
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 8: of the Ghostbusters team, and that could be a thing

516
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 8: of the past. Amazing what quarterbacks can do when they're

517
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 8: not donning that jetscreen and they can move on to

518
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 8: greener pastures.

519
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's stunk with a couple other teams too, Todd,

520
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the Jets, Okay, just understand that.

521
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 8: The amazing part is you look at what a good

522
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 8: coach can do to kind of build back a guy's confidence.

523
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 8: Despite how he finished his tenure as a member of

524
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 8: the Vikings, I mean, being under Kyle Shanahan's tutelage, Sean mcveig,

525
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 8: Kevin O'Connell, he looks like a different quarterback. At the

526
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 8: same time, I don't think Mike McDonald and the Seahawks

527
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 8: are going into Sunday.

528
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 9: Going you know what, this turns into a track meet.

529
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 8: We really have the utmost confidence in Sam Darnold throwing

530
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 8: forty times for three hundred plus yards. It is still

531
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 8: a team that wants to run the football, throw an

532
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: absolutely necessary and lean into the best defense remaining of

533
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 8: these four playoff teams.

534
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 6: Hey Todd, Before we got Chab, we were talking a

535
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 6: little bit about Dedver taking down Milwaukee, and Giannis is

536
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 6: starting to get a bit vocal lot a lot of things.

537
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 6: He hasn't gone after Doc Rivers yet, but maybe that's tonight. Well,

538
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 6: we look at futures for the NBA title odds, any

539
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 6: kind of movement with any anticipation of something big, like

540
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 6: a Jannis or or somebody else moving on the chess board.

541
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 8: Jannis would move the number if he was traded to

542
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 8: a contender. But I think when you're assessing where these

543
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 8: teams are, it's still very much the Oklahoma City Thunder Invitational.

544
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 8: Now their number has drifted out a little bit from

545
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 8: where it was. They're no longer odds on favorite at

546
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 8: a lot of national books. We're kind of saving them

547
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 8: right around plus a dollar five, plus a dollar ten.

548
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 8: The Nuggets that only other team right now in single digits.

549
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 8: The interesting storyline starting to brew in the Eastern Conference

550
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 8: is that the Boston Celtics, as you guys know, playing

551
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 8: much better basketball, and they have kind of moved to

552
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 8: the forefront of the East right around fifteen to one

553
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 8: to win the title, just a shade better than the Pistons,

554
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 8: and with those teams a cent Unfortunately for Knicks fans,

555
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 8: not as diehard like Smith is the team that I

556
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 8: grew up rooting for, the Knicks have drifted out. I

557
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 8: know that twenty two to one range looks like a

558
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 8: group that doesn't want to play basketball with each other,

559
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 8: and flast I checked that tends to be a problem

560
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 8: when you want to win best to seventh series in

561
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 8: April and May so, so.

562
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: Let me throw this out.

563
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, tonight really bad night obviously for Milwaukee.

564
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: How things going for Giannis?

565
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: Who are the couple of teams at the top right now,

566
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: the favorites that if Jannis gets traded, who are the

567
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: favorites to get them?

568
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 4: Akers?

569
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, don't we throw the Lakers into

570
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 8: every one of these deals?

571
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: The Lost frustrate every time I say Giannis's name, Rosberg

572
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: gets in my headset and says.

573
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: Lakers every trade ship that's out there. Honestly, I mean,

574
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 8: I think it's a phenomenal question, and one I really

575
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 8: don't have an answer to because you try and go

576
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 8: through the contenders and identify where he might be a fit.

577
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 8: I can't see Detroit trying to go after a key

578
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 8: kaga in the middle and giving up a lot of

579
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 8: their younger players like the Bucks may want. Definitely, in

580
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 8: my opinion, not a fit for the Boston Celtics. Maybe

581
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 8: the Knicks if they're trying to shop Karl Anthony Towns.

582
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 8: The Jannis becomes a guy given the fact that he

583
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 8: has shown and said that that was one spot that

584
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 8: he wouldn't mind trying to hone his craft. But I

585
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 8: also think, as you kind of dig through the Western Conference,

586
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 8: if the Bucks don't want to trade him there, I

587
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 8: mean where makes a lot of sense. Guys don't He's

588
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 8: not going to be a member of the thunder. I

589
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 8: can't see him going to the Nuggets, the Spurs, the Rockets,

590
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 8: and even the Timberwolves. I think it's anybody's best guess

591
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 8: who becomes a suitable trade partner if the Bucks do

592
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 8: end up moving on from you honest, and I think

593
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 8: Bucks fans will probably be disappointed at the hall. Is

594
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 8: it nearly what they would have gotten for him had

595
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 8: they moved him during the offseason.

596
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: Well, what about the Warriors.

597
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: The two teams I think are most likely because they

598
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: can pull off the trade, they can give stuff back

599
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: and they're desperate enough, would be the Nix and the Warriors.

600
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 9: If you believe in the Warriors.

601
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 8: Look, I mean, that's a number that is substantially greater

602
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 8: than a lot of other teams in the market. At

603
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 8: one hundred to one. Clearly they're going to need some

604
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 8: difference makers.

605
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 9: With Jimmy Butler being lost.

606
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 8: For the season with Attorney cl I have no idea

607
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 8: if Jonathan kaminga straight up for Yourhannis, gets the deal done.

608
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 8: But we've seen more Landis trades in the.

609
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 9: NBA in the past.

610
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 4: Does someone trade for Anthony Davis?

611
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 8: Maybe Lebron goes into the front office and convinces Rob

612
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 8: Polinka they made a huge mistake and they get Anthony

613
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 8: Davis back wearing Lakers purple before the end of the season.

614
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Todd Ferman, That is at Todd Ferman,

615
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: former odds maker at Caesar's.

616
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 3: Check him out on CBS, TSN.

617
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: He's all over the place, Todd as always, Buddy, appreciate

Speaker 9: You got it, gentlemen, you guys do the same.

622
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: Thanks for talking chaos with us.

623
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Buddy boy, you really just exact brainted him with that

624
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis question. Man, you broke him with that. He

625
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: was like, hey, a d come, I mean harmon, you

626
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:07,680

742
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm pretty sure the Knicks are better than the Lakers.

743
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 11: And we how's he going to get into the next

744

Speaker 11: locker room if it's closed for a door indoor meeting?

745
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: Oh well, well, well you know what.

746
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: Listen, he just calls, he texts Jalen Bruns and he says, hey,

747
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm here, come get me, and he goes to the

748
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: door and gets him. That's that's a lot of work

749
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: that way. Or Mike Brown lets him in. Mike go

750
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: to the door and let him in. Mike, you go,

751

Speaker 1: I'm talking to the team. Yeah, I got it for you, Jaalen,

752
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I'll go let you.

753
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: We're all good. We're all good.

754
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 8: Uh.

755
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: We got more NBA on the way. But look a

756
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: big story out of college football today. It's kind of

757
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: funny because it almost felt like college football wanted to

758
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: bury this story. It's weird, like it's it's like not

759
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: quite a Friday news dump. But this is a pretty

760
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: big deal. And yet it comes out.

761
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: And it's, oh, what are you talking about? The playoff

762
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 3: for next year in football.

763
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: Will be unchanged. Yeah, it will be a twelve team playoff. Still,

764
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: number of teams are the same, twelve teams. Even though

765
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: sixteen teams, oh, by the way, would solve every single

766
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: issue college football playoff has this year, well almost, we

767
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: are staying at twelve teams. Why because, according to reports,

768
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: the Big ten in the SEC couldn't come to an

769
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: agreement on what the playoff would be expanded to. The

770
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: SEC wanted sixteen teams, the Big Ten wanted twenty four.

771
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: This was the hill that the sixteen team playoff died

772
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: on this year because the Big Ten.

773
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: So we won twenty four ten because we want the

774
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: entire Big ten to get in.

775
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 11: Uh.

776
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: Look, this is what happens when there's no adults at

777
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: the table. And there are zero adults at the table

778
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to making rules in college football.

779
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: There is no one in charge. Everybody is out for themselves.

780
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: Conferences are out for themselves, and it's when ridiculously stupid

781
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: decisions like this get made where it is, Oh yeah,

782
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: we should be at sixteen teams.

783
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: Why because that solves all the problems.

784
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Look Miami getting in this year with two losses, not

785
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: in the conference championship game and making it all the

786
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: way to the championship game. Yeah, great story, Big problems

787
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: for college football because now, hey, we have to take

788
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: teams outside of the conference championships because they could make

789
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: it there. But how do you take them over teams

790
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: that make it to the conference championship game and lose.

791
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Adding sixteen teams solves that problem because you could take

792
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: all the teams that make it to the conference championship

793
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: not worry about the you know, a team getting that

794
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: third loss in the conference championship game. They don't need

795
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: to be top seeds. You're still playing for something with

796
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: the conference championship because you're playing for a buy and

797
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: you're playing to win the conference, which, oh, by the way,

798
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: is a pretty big bleeping deal. And you still have

799
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: the four more berths go out of the best teams

800
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: that didn't make it there. That solves everybody's problem. But no, no, no, no, no,

801
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: we couldn't decide on it because of money and greed

802
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: and nobody being able to stand up and say this

803
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: is the direction we're going in college football is lawless.

804
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: And what really surprises me the most is that they

805
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: couldn't figure this out because the Big Ten was like, yeah,

806
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: we want to go to twenty four teams. Since when

807
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: is anything in college football the last five years? When

808
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: has any decision ever been made that's been in place

809
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: for more than a year before it's been adjusted or

810
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: gotten rid of altogether? This college football it is a

811
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: year to year business.

812
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: Not just a year to year.

813
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: It's year to year with changes and playoff and things

814
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: change all the time. Again, because there's no rules and

815
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: there's no adults to the table, the Big Ten just

816
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: agree to sixteen teams for next year, and then what's

817
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna happen next year? Hey, let's go to twenty four.

818
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: You'll get it in two years. What are you worried about?

819
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: So now you're going to go through all the problems

820
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: that you went through last year to this year. Because

821
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Miami getting in and making that run of the championship game,

822
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: sixteen teams would have taken care of it. I mean,

823
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: I like to change it now. Your conference champions are

824
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: all going right, so you win your way in. Even

825
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: the new look PAC twelve can win its way in,

826
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: which that's gonna be people upset, but you're still when.

827
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: Your conference win your way in. I like that change.

828
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: But man, you could have taken care of all of

829
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: this drama and we would just be fighting over the

830
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: final teams making it in and it would be strictly

831
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: about snubs getting excluded from the college football playoff. But

832
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: instead this is where we sit for next year because

833
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: there's no rules in college football.

834
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 4: Just always remember greed is good. Greedy the better word

835
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: is worse.

836
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 6: But look, when you got a little little bit of

837
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 6: power and you can get a little chesty, what do

838
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 6: you want?

839
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 4: You want a little bit more?

840
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 6: And for the Big ten right now, they are the

841
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 6: bully of the block, which means, hey, let's play by

842
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: our rules and what helps us a bit more. The

843
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 6: other thing you're forgetting in this giant continuum for college

844
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 6: football and for college sports in general, is if they

845
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 6: actually get it right, nobody talks about them. If all

846
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 6: the teams that are supposed to get into the playoffs

847
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 6: would if everybody don't argue over who didn't get in

848
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 6: at sixteen and the teams at seventeen through twenty four

849
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 6: We would say you could put the NCAA Basketball Tournament

850
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 6: at one hundred and ten teams that we'd still be arguing, Well,

851
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 6: those teams won twelve, got screwed Syracuse at one fourteen.

852
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 3: They should have got it at eighteen and twenty one.

853
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: I mean that's what.

854
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we don't still find a way to a

855
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 6: lunatic fringe off in the distance.

856
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: I'm talking here.

857
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 6: You still get our good folks here at Fox Sports Radio,

858
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 6: the folks at that other joint, the other joints like

859
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 6: all across our sporting landscape. And for all of the

860
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 6: conferences that may not have felt they got a fair

861
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 6: shot in all of this, all their newspapers and blogg

862
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 6: as fears they roll up if everybody satisfied, got eh,

863
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 6: that solved it.

864
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 4: Hell do you have to argue about.

865
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: Let me stop, Let me stop you right there. I

866
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: love that it works for us, but I don't think

867
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: that any of the conferences, especially the big ten in

868
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: the SEC, are saying, oh, if we do this, we'll

869
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: get more people will talk about it. When if we

870
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: get it, boy, our conference will get a lot more money. Boy,

871
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: So I'd rather have people talk about it than be

872
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: able to give money to everybody and all these.

873
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: Times, No, I think money's gonna win out over that.

874
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 4: But that's just it.

875
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: That's gonna win.

876
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 6: The money will win up. But you said, well, why

877
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 6: can't they just do the right thing? Because they're still

878
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 6: gonna fight about what the right thing is. And for

879
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 6: the Big ten, they want everybody included, because it's the

880
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 6: giant pile of money.

881
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: You're talking about just increasing.

882
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 6: It a little bit and letting a few more folks

883
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 6: in go and let Notre Dame feel all good about

884
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 6: themselves to go to twenty four.

885
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 4: That's giant, is swimming pool of money.

886
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: I go to sixteen for next year, and then you

887
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: go to twenty four.

888
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: Why that's where it's gonna go anyway, that's fine.

889
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: Why are we pushing it saying, oh, we're going twelve

890
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 3: this year? Why not go?

891
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 6: Because I guarantee you there were some fine points about

892
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 6: whose three loss team gets more consideration, the SEC or.

893
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 5: The Big ten.

894
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 4: That's where the next fight was.

895
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 3: So but here's the thing. If you do that, nobody

896
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 3: else gets more teams in. So you we want more

897
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: teams in?

898
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: Okay, I get it that we're fighting over who would

899
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: deserve more, but without adding.

900
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 6: Four more teams, nobody more gets in, So how does

901
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 6: that work. That's why they want the twenty four. We

902
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 6: get them all in, So go to sixteen and then

903
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 6: go because you don't want the stepping stones. You want

904
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 6: to go, don't you want to advance straight to go.

905
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: Cloud? Man, it's about Cloud exit, Swollen Dump.

906
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 1: We got more on the playoff and a huge coaching

907
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: story out of the NFL New
