Hello, Buck, how are you? 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm good Andy. I'm apologizing advance. I'm a little under 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: the weather, so the voice is a little greeny. You 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: may hear a call for two. But I had to 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: show in for you. I had to show big, big 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: things going down to Cincinnati. So I had to show up. 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what you've done it Because you're 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: you're an athlete, you got guts, You're a gutsy kind 22 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: of guy. You know you play, you play the game. 23 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: Hurt and that's what you're doing right now. And today, 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: by the way, is Selection Sunday. And I was thinking 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: about this book for a second, and I don't want 26 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: to make you talk too much because I know you 27 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: want to conserve that, But you know what about big 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: days in sports? Selection Sunday is like a big day 29 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: in sports. I can't pick maybe five days on my 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: one hand that are really big days in sports. 31 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: And see if you agree. 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: The NFL Draft I'll count that as a big day 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: in sports, the first day of the NFL season, so 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: that's two. A Selection Sunday is three, and maybe the 35 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: NCAA Championship night in football and that Monday night in basketball. 36 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: So those are the five big days in my mind 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: in sport. What of the big days are there in 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: the world of sports that you kind of like pencil in? 39 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: Those are the five that I have, So. 40 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you kind of nailed a lot of them. 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: When we talk about going all the way back to 42 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: my childhood, this March Madness thing has always been a 43 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: big deal for me growing up in ACC country. It 44 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: not only is watching the ACC Tournament because it used 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: to just run Friday through Sunday, so teachers would bring 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: the TV into the classroom and allow all the young 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: kids to watch at least that twelve o'clock game, which 48 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: was everything really and then yeah, you take it over 49 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: the course of the weekend, and as soon as that 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: championship game and the ACC would end, it was Selection Sunday, 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: and so seeing where your favorite team was going to go, 52 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: filling out the brackets, having competitions with your friends even 53 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: within the house. To me, as much as I love 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: all the other stuff related to football, there's nothing that 55 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: kind of compares to what basketball has in March madness. 56 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: I can't believe that willed the TV in for that 58 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: at the center when I was like in the sixth grade, 59 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: fifth grade, where it may have been the teacher wheeling 60 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: the TV for the World Series when the World Series 61 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: is played during the daytime, but basketball not. But you're 62 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: a basketball country, and I'll tell you what did there's 63 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: some heat going on in North Carolina because they may 64 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: be on the outside looking in for the NCAA FE 65 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: when they announce it tonight. I don't think in North 66 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: Carolina's going to make it. 67 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of conversation about my tar Hos 68 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: and whether they'll make it. Being the Homer looking at 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: it through Carolina Blue lenses, I am saying that everyone 70 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: points to the Quad one record, they're one to twelve 71 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: versus Quad one teams, But a lot of those teams 72 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: that they lost to one, they were one score games. 73 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: And you can rattle off the list of your Alabama's, 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: your Auburn is, your Florida's, you played Kentucky, you play 75 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you played heavy hitters. And so if they 76 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: don't make it, what I wonder is will Hubert Davis 77 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: and Carolina shift their approach when it comes to scheduling, 78 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: because everybody likes to see these marquee matchups early in 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the year November December, go to Hawaii playing the Maui 80 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Festival in Malui Classic and all that. But if you're 81 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: not going to be rewarded for playing tough games even 82 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: though you're losing, you might as well schedule a slate 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: of cupcakes and see if you can get in with 84 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: a twenty eight or twenty nine win record. 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in some heat. 86 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: There a basketball coaching staf of North Carolina's on some 87 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: hot water. And you know it's funny because last year 88 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: North Carolina State had a Cinderella run in the in 89 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: the tournament, the a SEC tournament, they went to the 90 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: NCUBLEA Tournament, and now they fired the coaches the other day, 91 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 2: and that, like Brenda brought up some ideas in my mind, like, 92 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: you know, how many years does a coach get. 93 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: To turn a program around? 94 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: And now I think with this portal situation, you know 95 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: that time factor is a lot so smaller because you 96 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: could turn it around in a year. For example, you 97 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: know the University of Cincinnati and that's in my neighborhood. Okay, 98 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: four years Wes Miller and you know him because he 99 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: coached out of North Carolina. He played for North Carolina. 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: This is fourth year they're not going to go to 101 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: the NC Double A Tournament again. Four years in a 102 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: row not going. However, they've already fired the coach at 103 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota after four years. The coach at you taught to 104 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: four years UNLV. You know a lot of coaches have 105 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: been given that time and they have gone. So I 106 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: got to believe the only reason Wes Miller is still 107 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: here is because of that buyout deal. Because I don't 108 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: think the school has enough money or wants to spend 109 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: that kind of money to buy him out. I mean, 110 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: and the athletic threat to said about two weeks ago, Yeah, 111 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 2: Wes Miller's my coach. He'll be coaching next year Cincinnati. 112 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, what's interesting you bring up Wes Miller. Wes 113 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: Miller is the coach that some Tarrhell fans still pined for. 114 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: The job. Came down to Wes Miller and Hubert Davis, 115 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: both guys that played at Carolina, both guys who have 116 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: factions of the base that adore them. And when Hubert 117 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Davis was selected over Wes Miller, there's a huge part 118 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: of the fan base that ruse today that Hubert was 119 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: picked over him. So to hear you talk about Wes 120 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: Miller's struggles in Cincinnati, to me is interesting because you 121 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: say he never has made the NCAA tournament. He's on 122 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: the verge of potentially getting fired if he doesn't turn 123 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: around next year. Yet if you go to Chapel Hill, 124 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: there's still people who believe he was a better option 125 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: as the coach over Hubert Davis. And so it just 126 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: tells you one man's trash is another man's treasure. And 127 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: as it relates to Hubert Davis, Hubert Davis goes to 128 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: the National Championship Game, misses the tournament. The next year 129 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: takes him to the either Sweet sixteen or the Leader. 130 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: I think it was Sweet sixteen because I was there, 131 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: and then they may be out. That probably buys him 132 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: another year because during the season it came out that 133 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: he signed an extension. Yeah, but the pressure is on 134 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: him right now. People do not have time to wait 135 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: for you to build a program. You need to build 136 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: a championship team and then the next year build another 137 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: championship team, which is completely different than the way college 138 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: basketball used to operate. 139 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: You know it. 140 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: Really it's funny because the NCAA Tournament obviously the drowlby 141 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: Tonight Selection Sunday, but they have this tournament in conjunction 142 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: with Fox Sports, which is called the Crown. I think 143 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: it's March thirty first to April second, and there's a 144 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: good chance maybe University of Cincinnti will get invited to 145 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 2: the Crown because it goes to the team that is 146 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: the closest one that didn't get to the NCAA Tournament 147 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 2: in each conference, and I think Cincinnti because at a rate 148 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: for that in the Big Twelve But my question is this, 149 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: the portal opens next week. There's a real good chance 150 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: that these kids, Cincinnati's basketball team are so downstrided and 151 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 2: so disappointed, they're gonna bolt and go through the portal, 152 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: So they may not be able to field the team 153 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: if they invited, if they get invited to this Crown tournament. 154 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. Really, why couldn't they push the 155 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: portal further back? Because the people who organize this Crown 156 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: should have realized that the portals could affect their tournament. 157 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting, Andy, Like, people always talk 158 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: about the NCAA and regulation and all the rules, but 159 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: the one thing that is lacking in today's era is 160 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: some governance making sensible decisions that relate to the game. 161 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: It is ridiculous that the portal will open as March 162 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: Madness is about to get off. All the teams that 163 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: are in there, all the coaches that are in there 164 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: now have to make decisions on what they want to do. 165 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: If I play players on a national stage so everyone 166 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: can see my top guys and the tournament, I run 167 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the risk of them if we had a difficult season, 168 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: they may not even show up and play. And if 169 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm a hot coach who has an opportunity to use 170 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: my current situation as a stepping stone to go somewhere else. 171 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: I may be out. All of this is crazy. They 172 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: should kind of put a pause on all movement during 173 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: the entirety of March Madness and let things start once 174 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: March Madness can cluse, so then everyone is kind of 175 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: on a level playing field when it comes to transfers 176 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: and hiring coaches and all of that. 177 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: Perhaps you could help me with the portal, because you know, 178 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: we talk about it, but exactly specifically, what is it 179 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: to say? I say, I'm a basketball player at North Carolina. 180 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: Season's over, we don't make the tournament, I'm disgusted about playing. 181 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: I want to transfer. So what do I do? I 182 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: go to the athletic threat to and do it the 183 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: coach and say, coach, I'm putting my name in this 184 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: portal And what does that go to a major clearinghouse 185 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: and every college basketball coach gets a list on their 186 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: computer of like every name that's in the portal, height, weight, 187 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: year and what he averages and what school he's at. 188 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: Is that how it works? 189 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean, similarly, I mean you just talked about a 190 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: huge portal database where you enter with your numbers and 191 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: all of that and just your n C double a 192 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: eligibility number in those things, and coaches are always scouring 193 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: the portal to see who's in there. Normally, Andy, we 194 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: hate to say it, but there's been some conversations between 195 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: players and intermediaries from other schools. They kind of urge 196 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: or encourage guys to get in there. Other times guys 197 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: are just frustrated with their situation and jump in regardless, 198 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: there's always someone on watch looking to see who's in 199 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: there and looking to see if the people, the players 200 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: that are in there are upgrades or benefits for the 201 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: current situation. 202 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so how does Coach A know that Coach B 203 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: is going after the same person in the in the portal? 204 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: How does that happens? 205 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: You know? No, you just kind of assume, like once 206 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: they jump into portal, like it's all uh, it's all good. 207 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: But what typically happens the coach that is interested in 208 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: the player that's in the portal, We'll call the coach 209 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: from the school where the kid is leaving from, because 210 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: what you want to know is the background, Why is 211 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: he leaving, what kind of kid is, how's he going 212 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: to impact our locker room. What are the things that 213 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: he can and can't do on the floor, What would 214 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: you do if you were me? Would he fit? Does 215 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: he not fit all of those things? Or anchory Like, 216 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: as much as we like to think that coaches are adversaries, 217 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: they're in the same game. They all work together, and 218 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: a lot of times their friends, and so they try 219 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: and help friends out when they tell people like, yeah, 220 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: he'd be a good fit for you, he just wasn't 221 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: a great fit here. Oh you don't want to touch him. 222 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: He has X, Y and Z going on. There are 223 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: a lot of conversations in background resource sys done. 224 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because if I'm a coach right 225 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: now and I want to coach college basketball on a 226 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: Division one level, and you mentioned North Carolina, mentioned Cincinnati. 227 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: If I'm West Miller and I have a choice to 228 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: go to either one, I'm not looking at the conference 229 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: that they're in. I'm not even looking so much at 230 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: my salary because the salary is somewhat the same similar 231 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: across to what a couple of million that's what you're 232 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: gonna get. I'm looking at the alumni base because you 233 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: need a strong alumni with big wall. Let's to help 234 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: you get players. I mean, look look at Saint John's 235 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: and what Rick Bettina was done. Yeah, he's a great coach, 236 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: there's no doubt my money, he's a great coach. But 237 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: there was a story in the New York Times from 238 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: page New York Times the other day about this alum 239 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: who basically spent something like four million dollars of players 240 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: on the roster of Saint John's. 241 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 3: That's what you gotta do. 242 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: You got to get a guy who's a crazy, fanatical 243 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 2: alarm with money. 244 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 3: That's what you need to do. 245 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: You do have to have support, and it's not only 246 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: financial support in terms of nil and pay for play, 247 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: but if administration really supporting the vision that you have 248 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: for the program, meaning hey, we want to keep it 249 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: at a high level, if we're going to compete at 250 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: a high level, we need to make sure that we 251 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: have X amount of funds available to be able to 252 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: do that. Part of Carolina struggles this year, to give 253 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: you a solid example, they could never secure big Man. 254 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: And the reason why they couldn't secure a big Man 255 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: is because teams in the SEC had a bigger financial 256 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: commitment from their schools and they were able to out 257 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: bid some of those players. As much as we like 258 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: to think that players make decisions on the brand and coaches, 259 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: right now, Andy, it is all about the bag. How 260 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: much are you going to pay me determines whether I 261 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: go to your school or not. I can like you 262 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: as a coach, but if the dollars and cents don't 263 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: add up, I'm going to the other situation, and in 264 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: two you get all the way in the game and 265 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: we eliminate the facade of it being amateurism or you know, 266 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: college basketball as opposed to the pro minor leagues. The 267 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: better chances you will have on being able to put 268 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: together a team that can compete and compete at a 269 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: high level. 270 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so, Bucket Brooks's coach at University of North Carolina, 271 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: and you're recruiting me, I'm a high school player. 272 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Whatever. 273 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 2: Although high school players are basically secondary now, people just 274 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: want to coach good guys from the portal. High school 275 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: players are ridiculous that no one goes in that direction. 276 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: But just say you're recruiting me, and you call me 277 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: up to say, well, here you go, we want you 278 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 2: to come to North Carolina. I'm going to give you 279 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: a hundred thousand dollars, So I'll get right back to you, 280 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 2: because the University of Virginia is could have give me 281 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: a buck and a half. I mean, is that what 282 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: it is? They bargain back and forth and then you say, well, 283 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 2: I'll get back to the end of the day. I'll 284 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: let you know if I. 285 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: Can match that. Is that how that works right now? 286 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: One hundred percent, either you do it or pretty much 287 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: everybody has representation now. So the college agents who are 288 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: also going to be their pro agents are negotiating deals, 289 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: and they're negotiating deals with college general managers. That's why 290 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: we've seen the rash of general managers that have been hired. 291 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: Particularly in football. There has to be someone that controls 292 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: the purse string, someone that is aware of the quote 293 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: unquote salary cap and how much money we have allotted 294 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: to spend on the team, and certain positions we'll go 295 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: up to x amount. Other positions we'll say, hey, man, 296 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: we're good, we can't go up that high. And it 297 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: is literally NFL NBA like in terms of how you 298 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: building your team. You got to understand how to manage 299 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: your money to make sure that you have enough talent 300 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: to win. But you also don't bust a budget. 301 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: Now, would I be correct to say this, If you 302 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: are a general manager of a school that is a 303 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: basketball only school and does not have football, you may 304 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: be in better shape than a school that has football 305 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: and basketball that really doesn't have a strong alumni base. 306 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: For example, in the metropolitan area of Cincinnati, University of 307 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Big twelve. They have football and basketball, but they 308 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: have to compete with professional sports in the city, as 309 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: well as other colleges in the area. Xavier University, which 310 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: is like seven miles down the road from Cincinnati, which 311 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: is in the Big East. All they have is basketball. 312 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: They may have an advantage because the alumni base is 313 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: all for one, one for all, and that's basketball. 314 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: There's on football. 315 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that is an advantage. Just 316 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: look at Saint John's. You just talked about Saint John's 317 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: being able to pay money. The owner of Noble is 318 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: an alum, and as you talked about someone giving four 319 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: million dollars, he certainly stepped up to the plate gave 320 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: them significant money to be able to get it done. 321 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: In fact, Rick Patino has credited him for you know, 322 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: we couldn't put us off without him being a part 323 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: of what we're doing. The first thing that coaches are 324 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: doing is they're identifying who has the deep pockets, who 325 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: can help us get this done. And then once they 326 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: do that, they make sure they bring them in, they 327 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: make them an integral part of the program. The only 328 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: issue that you have when people start paying money for players, 329 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: they want a big say, they want to have a voice, 330 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: they want to be included. That can mess up your 331 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: program if the head coach doesn't know how to navigate 332 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: those relationships with the boosters. 333 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: Here's the question of the day. Say I win the 334 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: lottery tomorrow, I got Bootkoop money. 335 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: All right? 336 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: My school comes to me, they find that out, It's 337 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: written up that I won the lottery. They want me 338 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: to write a couple of checks for the alum for 339 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: the basketball program. I'm saying to myself, are you kidding? 340 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: I mean, what do I get it? What do you 341 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: get out of it? Certainly some satisfaction a little bit, 342 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: But why would someone would you do it? Why would 343 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: anybody in the right mind give money to a kid 344 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: to support him and then maybe after a year, after 345 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: the money you give him, he bolts to go to 346 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: another school, and now they've got NBA play rush. Just 347 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: the other day, Dwayne Wade is, give me three million 348 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: to nil and Marquette. He went to mar quent I 349 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: don't get it, and it gives three million. And after 350 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: a year, the guy who doesn't maybe sit in the 351 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: bench and play, wasn't happy, didn't like the coach. He's 352 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: gonna pack up and leave a let another school. Why 353 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: would you and would you Bucky Brooks do it? 354 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't do it because you don't get a 355 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: return on investment. You don't get a tax break because 356 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: if he goes directed to the collective, there's no benefit 357 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: for doing it. The only thing that you get out 358 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: of it is bragging rights. I'm good on the bragging 359 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: rights in North Carolina, Like I am cool. So yeah, 360 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: someone else would have to fund it because what we're 361 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: doing is we're paying unknown commodities. You know, I'm paying 362 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: on an eighteen year old player that I don't know 363 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: if he can step up and play well at the 364 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: next level. Yet I'm already willing to commit six figures 365 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: or seven figures to him. Nah, I'll pass. I just 366 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: think that's as a poor strategy for the finances. It 367 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense to me. 368 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: Can you imagine me picking up some money, writ in 369 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: the check for a kid, and next thing you know, 370 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 2: a week later, he gets picked up for duy. 371 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 3: That's your guy. 372 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I just you know, eighteen year 373 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: old kid, anything could possibly happen. 374 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 3: I don't get it. 375 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm so happy to hear that you know 376 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: you would not do it because I wouldn't do it. 377 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 2: And maybe people look at me, say, you're crazy. Why 378 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: wouldn't you don't you love your school whatever it might be. No, 379 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 2: I'll buy a take or go to a game. That's 380 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: basically what I'll do. But other than that, I just 381 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: don't understand the mindset. And you know what, all these 382 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: guys that do step up. 383 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: And put the money in. 384 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: I'd love to see someone do a story and interview 385 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: these guys say why do you do it? 386 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 4: Well? 387 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 3: What kind of satisfaction do you get? Or is it 388 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: just ego? 389 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: Because you know that basically you built the program, not 390 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: the coach. It's your program. You did it, and as 391 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 2: you say, they're gonna have a lot of say so 392 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: in it. He'll go to the coach and say, you know, 393 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: I don't like this kid. I don't want him on 394 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 2: the team. I don't want him there. 395 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure there's things like that that happen. 396 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: Oh what I present to do happened. And I think 397 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishba, I think he was 398 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: a big contributor to Michigan State before he joined the NBA. 399 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: It is a huge ego situation. Is one where maybe 400 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: you weren't able to kind of be the star player 401 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: on the court, but now you've crushed it in business 402 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and you want to get a little feel of what 403 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: it's like to be a star well, being a major 404 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: contributor at major booster, having a major voice and some 405 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: input that gives you that feeling that has been lacking 406 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: since your teens and twenties. That's why these guys are doing. 407 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: They may love the university, but a lot of it 408 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: is to scratched to itch. They were never able to 409 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: scratch as players when they were coming up. 410 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: Do you said the guys that never played the game, 411 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: and they were like me, when you went to the park, 412 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: the only reason you got chosen was you brought the ball. 413 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 2: That's how I got into the games. I brought the 414 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 2: basketball to the park and they chose me in because 415 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: I had the ball. 416 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's a smart strategy. If you have 417 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: the ball, you got the power. 418 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: Right there you go. He's Bucky Brooks.

Now, let's roll on here now 455 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: selection Sunday for sure, and we talked about that in 456 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: the first segment. 457 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 3: There's going to be a bit of a buzz. 458 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: But again I would have to say, Bucket Brooks at 459 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: the NFL takes center stage and this week it wasn't basketball, 460 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: it was free agency. Was unbelievable. I'm shocked. I really 461 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: am shocked that people go bananas. I guess because your 462 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: team is being built through free agency, probably even more 463 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: so than the draft. But your bigness shock in free 464 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 2: agency us for what was yours. 465 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: I would say the biggest shock is Geno Smith being 466 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: traded away to make room for Sam Donald to come over. 467 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: And I know Sam Donald had a terrific season with 468 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: the Vikings, except for the last two games where he 469 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: struggled when they really needed him. But Geno Smith has 470 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: been a two time pro bowler for the Seattle Seahawks, 471 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: and even though they were removing some of the weapons, 472 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: to me, he'd been a model citizen, great leader. He 473 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: has shown massive growth as a player. So now you're 474 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: moving on from someone who has been proven to be 475 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: effective within your environment to catch you a lot with 476 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: an unknown. And Sam Donald still is an unknown. And 477 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: even though you're bringing Clint Kubiak with him, someone who 478 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: was his quarterback coach or passing game coordinator in San 479 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: Francisco when he was backing up and trying to repair 480 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: his career, it's a huge risk. And you not only 481 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: bring him over, but you remove DK Metcalf and you 482 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: bring over Cooper Cup, who I love Cooper Cup at 483 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: thirty two years old. Though Cooper Cup has been injured 484 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: a ton and for fifteen million dollars, I wonder are 485 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: you gonna be able to get a return on your 486 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: investment for him to be one A, one B with 487 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and jigbuk Up in the Pacific Northwest. 488 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: Amazing. 489 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: I think that Sam Donald basically, we have to say, 490 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: probably has been the biggest prize thus far in the 491 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: free agency rolling around carousel because three years, one hundred million, 492 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 2: like one hundred point five million, fifty five million guaranteed. 493 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: But he's no kid. He's twenty seven years old, fifteen. 494 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: He's going to be on since the Jets made him 495 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: a third round pick, the third pick in the twenty 496 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 2: eighteen draft. And honestly, you have to say that Sam 497 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: Donald right now, this is truly the team that he 498 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: could be the face of because he never has been. Yeah, 499 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 2: last year in Minnesota, but it wasn't really his team. 500 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy got hurt and that opens the door right now. 501 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: And people aren't talking much about this to JJ McCarthy 502 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: because he was the Vikings' first round pick in twenty 503 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: twenty four but now the job is his. He's nailed 504 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: it down because Sam Donald's gone. And I think that's 505 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: the biggest story than having Sam Donald go. Yeah, Sam 506 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: Donald's a question mark. Can he give you thirty plus 507 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: touchdowns and maybe five picks again next year? 508 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 509 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: Maybe it was the offensive Minnesota, But what about JJ McCarthy, 510 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 2: A can he get it done? B can he get 511 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 2: it done after that injury? 512 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Well? I mean, look, I think there's a lot of 513 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: mystery towards what the Minnesota Vikings are going to do. 514 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: For as much as we're ready to hand the job 515 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: to J. J. McCarthy, the buzz is out there about 516 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his preference to go to Minnesota as 517 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: he looks to just completely follow Brett Forre's career, you know, 518 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: to go from Green Bay to the Jets, Jets to 519 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings to see if he can find a 520 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: way to I won't even say Salvage's legacy. I would 521 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: say enhance, upgrade, fortify his legacy with the championship. The 522 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings are certainly talented enough for that to happen. 523 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: But it's just interesting and if it's not Rogers, well, yeah, 524 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: You're throwing a lot on a rookie quarterback coming off 525 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: an injury who hasn't played it all. 526 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: You know, really wouldn't be a bad move. And he's 527 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 2: kind of gone public. Aaron Rodgers had to say that 528 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota would be his team. He's waiting several reasons. Number one, 529 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: he could be a tutor to JJ mccarth. Think that 530 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy waits in the wings that Aaron Rodgers he 531 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: comes in there and does something well. And number two, 532 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: I don't think much has been said about this. He's 533 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: playing a dome. That's a tremendous advantage. I think playing 534 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: in a dome in Minnesota. 535 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: I mean it is for sure, Like I mean, with 536 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: the ball flying farther in the dome as opposed to 537 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: dealing with the inclement conditions. If you are a quarterback 538 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't have the greatest armister, yeah, that can be 539 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: a huge advantage. But I don't think that's an issue 540 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: necessarily for Sam Donald. I think the competition is more 541 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: the thing. He steps into an environment where he doesn't 542 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: have what he had at Minnesota. Look, he had an 543 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: all Pro wide receiver on one side. He had a 544 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber receiver Jordan Addison. On the other side, 545 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: he had a pro bowler at tied end and TJ. 546 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: Hockinson a pro bowler and Aaron Jones behind him and 547 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: a rock solid offensive line. He doesn't have any of 548 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: those things in Seattle, and so this is more like 549 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: the situations that Sam Donald has stroken in previously. So 550 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: Klint Kobyak is gonna have to do a wonderful job 551 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: on the whiteboard scripting and crafting play designs that allow 552 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: Sam Donald to overcome some of the deficiencies that the 553 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: Seattlecrs currently have in their lineup. 554 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: Well, you know, you talk about Cooper Cup, and he's 555 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: a great player, knows doubt about that, But for them 556 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: to get him for three years for forty five million, 557 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 2: I think that's somewhat of a steal in the National 558 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: Football League right now. But I want to ask you, 559 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: I got some stats here. I want to compare in 560 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: your mind. Dk Metcalf stats to Cooper Cup. Okay, DK 561 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: Metcalf six years in the NFL, all right over sixty 562 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: three hundred yards and he had what forty eight touchdowns 563 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: as opposed to Cooper Cup six hundred and thirty four catches, 564 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: seventy seven hundred yards and fifty seven touchdowns in one 565 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 2: hundred and four games. I think the whole deal is 566 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 2: similar statistics, no doubt about that. Age is a factor there. 567 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: But more than that, it's all money. Look at the 568 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: amount of money. They say from Metcalf to Cooper Cup, 569 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: that's why it was done. 570 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 3: I believe. 571 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure money. You certainly played a factor in it. 572 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: But let me also say that all numbers aren't created 573 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: equal because style matters. Cooper Cup in his prime was 574 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: a guy that was interchangeable on that offense. Remember the Rams. 575 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why they rose to prominence when 576 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: Sean McVay first took over. It was Robert Woods, Brandan Cooks, 577 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup and all of those dudes could play 578 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: at any spot on the field. So it allows Sean 579 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: McVay to freedom to kind of bounce around the lineups, 580 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: change where people lined up, so you never could get 581 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: a beat on them. You don't have the same luxury 582 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: to be able to do that stuff in Seattle Jays. 583 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: And you can play inside and outside. But he's best 584 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: on the inside, Cooper Cup is and his best on 585 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: the inside, he can't go outside. The difference is the 586 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: big play element. DK Metcalf can produce the big plays 587 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: on his sheer talent and athleticism alone. Cooper Cup is 588 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: a refined technician who sometimes you have to draw those 589 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: things up to me. It puts more pressure on Clint 590 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: Kubiak to be in his bag to draw up big 591 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: play opportunities as opposed to, hey, let's put the ball 592 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: out there, Sam hit the open man and those that 593 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: freedom is just going to naturally produce enough big plays 594 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: for us of me. Move forward. 595 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: Okay, Now the question is does Sam Donald make a 596 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 2: difference in Seattle? Will they be a contender? I look 597 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 2: at that division. Yeah, I don't know if they upgraded 598 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 2: themselves or not with Sam Donald, but it's a tough division. 599 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 2: I don't think San Francisco is going to be down 600 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: and out as they were last year. I think they'll 601 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: be a lot better. They had a lot of injuries 602 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: last year, so I think if the forty nine ers 603 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 2: are going to come back, the Rams were tough. 604 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: The Rams almost beat the Eagles. 605 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 2: Right, so I would have to say that although Seattle's 606 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: made some moves and they plugged in some holes, I 607 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 2: don't know if it's enough. 608 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: Okay, so make it. Let's make it as simple as this. 609 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: Let's look at quarterbacks because the quarterback driven league. If 610 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: we had to rank the quarterbacks in the NFC West, 611 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: where does Sam Donald stack up? Matthew Stafford is number one? 612 00:27:59,480 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 5: Right? 613 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: Have Caler Murray, brock Purdy and Sam Donald? Where we 614 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: put in Sam Donald amongst that? Maybe he's three three 615 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: with a question walk right? So that's what it comes 616 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: down to. So despite all of the moves, they may 617 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: not be a better. 618 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 3: Team's unbelieve it. 619 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: Now, speaking of better teams, does Gino I gotta play 620 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: for number one? Gino Smith will in five mat the 621 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: Raiders a better team. They had no quarterback whatsoever. But 622 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 2: what does he do for the Raiders? 623 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: So what he does? And I want to make sure 624 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: people understand, I'm not saying that Geno Smith is the 625 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: next coming, right, that he is a top five quarterback 626 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: or whatever. But what I will say is he is 627 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: kind of the culture setter for what the Raiders want 628 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: to be. When you look at the success that Gino 629 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: Smith had under Pete Carroll, look man. He threw for 630 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: over eighty six hundred yards, he had fifty five touchdowns, 631 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: only twenty one interceptions and was a two time pro bowler, 632 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: and he not only repaired his career, but he helped this 633 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: team transition after Russell Wilson and continue to win, which 634 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: was surprising in Las Vegas. It now gives them a 635 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: calming force, a calming influence at quarterback. It gives them 636 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: an adult in the room, someone with the talent to 637 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: be able to make the place. They have to upgrade 638 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: some of the firepower on the perimeter. I would look 639 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: for them to take a big time running back, someone 640 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: that can take twenty to twenty five carries and command attention, 641 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 1: so maybe Ashton jens S six is in play, and 642 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: then look for them to continue to try and find 643 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: White House. To me, it's a good move that makes 644 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: them competitive. Still a tough vision for them to close ground, 645 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: but they are a far more competitive team than they 646 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: worked before Geno Smith arrive, no. 647 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: Doubt about that. 648 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: Now, speaking of the quarterbacks, let's talk about Kirk Cousins. 649 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: It was a big question mark with him, and now 650 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: that Atlanta Falcons say they're not going to release him 651 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: and the deadline was yesterday, said they didn't release him. 652 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: He's going to get ten million and that's a roster 653 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: bonus for the twenty twenty six season, and everybody's going 654 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: crazy and going ballistic, and he wanted to be out. 655 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: I think it's a good deal, I really do, because 656 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: they want their quarterback. I guess he's going to tutor Nix. 657 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: I guess at quarterback. I don't know what he's going 658 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: to do. But the point is that why wouldn't they 659 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: release and why wouldn't they trade him? But again, you 660 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 2: have a young quarterback in Atlanta, and I guess that 661 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: you look at Kirk Cousins. 662 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: He's the guy that can maybe tutoring. I don't know. 663 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: I have no idea why Kirk Cousins was not let 664 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: go and why you want to pay the guy ten 665 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: million dollars. He's going to be the most expensive backup quarterback, 666 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 2: not only in the league, but maybe an NFL history. 667 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: It's only temporary Andy, and there's not a more favorable 668 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: bargain chip than a quarterback in the National Football League. 669 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 3: Well just about is the starter, right, Pennicky right to start? 670 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Penis is gonna start. But we talked about around 671 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: the league. Everybody right now feels great about their quarterback situation. Right. 672 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: We just talked about J. J. McCarthy in Minnesota, we 673 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: talked about the young players. The Giants don't have a 674 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: quarterback yet. The Cleveland Browns don't have a quarterback yet. 675 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: So it's smart for the Atlanta Falcons just to sit 676 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: and wait and see how the Carolseale ends up. These 677 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: guys can get these draft picks and people talk about, oh, 678 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: you can get Tyler Shutt, and you can get uh 679 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: Will Howard and Dylan Gabriel and all these other guys, 680 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: but they've never played a down in the league. As 681 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: you get closer to the regular season, executives get fidgety 682 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to their team and are we good enough? 683 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: Do we have that? That is when Kirk cupk Cousins 684 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: will have an opportunity to be moved. It only takes 685 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: an injury to change the narrative. Remember in Philadelphia when 686 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: they drafted Carson Wentz, they had Sam Bradford on the team. 687 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: Someone gets hurt. I think Teddy Bridge would have got hurt. 688 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: They traded Sam Bradford to Minnesota, got some draft currency 689 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: that was valuable and allowed them to continue to build 690 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: the team and the championship team at that That's why 691 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: you hold on the Kirk Cousins, man, don't worry about 692 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: the roster bonus. You can work that out with offset 693 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: language in the contract to get that money back to me. Look, 694 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: it's a no brainer. Keep him until you have to 695 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: move on from him. Doesn't make sense to move on 696 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: from him right now. 697 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: You know, I was looking. 698 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 2: I looked at his stats, and I want them to see, 699 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: like how long he's been in the league, how much 700 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: money he made. He was franchised ted twice by Washington 701 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: that was like almost like forty four million dollars. That 702 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: was anything a fully guaranteed three year, eighty four million 703 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 2: dollars deal from the Minnesota Vikings. He got re upped 704 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: twice over three years in Minnesota sixty six mil, thirty 705 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: five mil. Then he got his most valuable contract from 706 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: the Falcons last year. Then he tore his achilles tendon. 707 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: By the way, he has only won just one playoff 708 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: game in his career. So they talk a lot about 709 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, and I guess they like him. He's a 710 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: good guy, puts up a lot of the audis, but 711 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 2: hasn't done anything. When you think about it, he hasn't 712 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 2: done anything. 713 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: Now he hasn't, but when you're desperate, and the option 714 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: is I can have a mid level starter, or I 715 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: can be horrible with a young guy that can't play 716 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: or an old guy that can't play. Give me the 717 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: mid level starter, because at least I can win some 718 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: games and have a chance to get into the tournament. 719 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: That's what you're playing for. You're not thinking about championship. 720 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: Everything has to go right with Kirk Cousins. But he 721 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: certainly is good enough to get you into the tournament, 722 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: which is a start. 723 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: Well, we'll see what happens. 724 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: I mean saying that there's a good chance that Kirk 725 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 2: Cousins will not be on the Atlanta Falcons roster come 726 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: opening day. 727 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: No way, won't be there. We'll see, no way. And 728 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: I don't think the mentorship is really something significant because 729 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: as much as we like to talk about that the 730 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: old guy nurturing the young guy, that relationship will not 731 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: be one that it can be the mentor type of 732 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: the mentor situation, because Kirk Cousins still thinks he can play. Normally, 733 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: if you can have a veteran guy that's nurturing little man, 734 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: he knows he can't play. His job is to make 735 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: sure that the young guy play. He lives vicariously through 736 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: the talents and achievements of the young guy. Kirk Cousins 737 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have that. He still wants to add a ball. 738 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: There you go. 739 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: He's fucking Brooks on May the Firmerwee of Fox Sports 740 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: on the Foxbots Radio.

We're gonna throw 761 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: out some names to you about free agents. You tell 762 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 2: me good fit, bedfit, what do you think, surprise whatever 763 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: it may be, anything you want to say about them? 764 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 3: Are you ready? Are you ready? 765 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? Let's do it. 766 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 3: Okay. 767 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 2: First up, defensive tackle was a twenty twenty one third 768 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 2: round pit Philadelphia Eagles. He was on the defensive front. 769 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: His name is Milton Williams. It goes to the Patriots. 770 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that four years one hundred? 771 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: Mil I love it because the Patriots completely revamped their 772 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: defense with veteran players. They want to get back to 773 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: the blue collar style they're serving them will under Belichick. 774 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: Mike Rabel knows the recipe for winning in New England. 775 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: Milton Williams helps him get that. 776 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Rabel, I'm not surprised if Rabel going back 777 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: on the defensive side. 778 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 3: Of the ball. Okay. 779 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 2: Wide receiver Chris Godwin returns to the Tampa Bay Bucks. 780 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 3: I was surprised. Three years sixty six mil. 781 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 2: Good money, not tremendous money, twenty nine years of age, 782 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 2: had a strong start last year. But now he had 783 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 2: that ankle surgery, So we'll see what happens with his speed. 784 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 2: Maybe cut down, so maybe he realized that he better 785 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: stay home. 786 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's about being a legacy player. He and 787 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: Mike evans Man Mike go down there is the two 788 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in franchise history. You get a chance 789 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: to finish what you started after being a draft pick 790 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: there coming out of Penn State. To me, it makes sense. 791 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: People are talking about the money that he left on 792 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: the table, but remember Florida's no tax state, so a 793 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: lot of that money did he's he's keeping, whereas if 794 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: he goes out of state, he's not gonna have the 795 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: same kind of return on investment. 796 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: Well, I forgot about that no tax day in Florida. 797 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 3: Exactly right about that. 798 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 2: Josh Sweat goes to the Cardinals four years seventy six, 799 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: Mili edge rusher pretty good. They want to add that 800 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: pass rushing deal in Arizona. I think he's gonna help 801 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 2: him do that. Not a bad move. I wouldn't think. 802 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: I like it, don't love it because. 803 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 3: Bless you. 804 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: Sorry, Joshua doesn't get to bring his homies with them. 805 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the lucky having Jalen Card and all 806 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: those other guys inside commanding attention. He now becomes the 807 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: number one, which is a little different than being the 808 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: complimentary pass rusher. We'll see if he can hold up, 809 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: but unless they bring somebody into Arizona to kind of 810 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: help him to offset some of the pressure. And it's 811 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: different being the number one pass rusher as opposed to 812 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: being the guy that people don't pay attention to. 813 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 2: Okay, this is a good one because I think there's 814 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,919 Speaker 2: a lot of conversation right here. This guy was looked 815 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: at as a bust. He was called to bust with 816 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 2: the Jets and the Panthers. We're talking about Sam Donald. 817 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 2: He goes to the Seahawks, and look, I think the 818 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 2: Seahawks will put a lot of pressure on him because 819 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: they wanted to thirty six million a year. But the 820 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: offense in Seattle and maybe on way off base, but 821 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: I think that has nothing even close to the weapons 822 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 2: that he had in Minnesota, So it's gonna be really 823 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 2: rough for him. And now all of a sudden, he's 824 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 2: deemed as the starter. It's his team has mentioned earlier 825 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 2: he's going to be the face of the Seahawks. Can 826 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 2: he get it done? Is it a good move? 827 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? And he comes down to you if Sam Donald 828 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: is a truck or a trailer, meaning is Sam Donald 829 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: talented enough to carry the Seattle Seahawks or is he 830 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: a guy that needs the team to carry him. In 831 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: Minneapolis with the Minnesota Vikings, look, he was a trailer. 832 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: They carried him along. He was able to just kind 833 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: of manage the game and do his thing. In Seattle, 834 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: they need him to be the driving force of the offense. 835 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: Different role, different responsibility. We'll see if his game is 836 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: up to the challenge. 837 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: Okay, now let's stick with him for a second, because 838 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 2: they got a new offensive coordinator with Clint Kobe is 839 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: not going to be very similar to the offense that 840 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell had in Minnesota. 841 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all cousins and they have variations and similarities. 842 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: They all come from the Shanahan McVeigh tree, so there'd 843 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: be some similarities and they'll build around it, but look, 844 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: it's not going to be exactly the same because the 845 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: personnel isn't the same. The personnel matters more than the tactics. 846 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy's and Joe's over ex'es and O's. 847 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 2: There you go, okay, Justin Reader safety was a key 848 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 2: figure for the Kansas City Chiefs defense. He leaves three 849 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 2: years thirty one Mili going to the New Orleans Saints. 850 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 2: I scratched my head. Why on God's green Earth will 851 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 2: you do that? Obviously the an has to be down 852 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 2: the road. The green Backs the money, but still, in 853 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 2: all why would you leave Kansas City to go to 854 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 2: a team that really and tuly I don't even think 855 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 2: they have a chance to make the playoffs next year? 856 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: The Saints, Well, money certainly has a factor. And if 857 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: he wants to play with a veteran defense Tyron Matthew 858 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: cam Jordan, this team has super Bowl aspirations. Now whether 859 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: we believe in them doesn't matter. Internally, if they believe 860 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: that there's fotball team, he's as we. But ultimately it 861 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: came down to the money. I'm sure the money was significant. 862 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: He took the deal. He's already won super Bowls. This 863 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: is about like, hey man, let me go get the 864 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: bag and complete my career, all right. 865 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 2: I think this is a great move, and there wasn't 866 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: much publicity on it. Maybe there wasn't a city of Detroit, 867 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 2: but a cornerback. DJ Reid's going to the Detroit Lions. 868 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 2: He's got three years to forty eight mil and he 869 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: was at the number two corner for the Jets. I 870 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 2: think this could be really good for the Detroit Lions. 871 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: Could be great for the Detroit Lions. And the reason 872 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: why I could be great for the Lions. He's a 873 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: true man demand corner and in their scheme, they want 874 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: to leave their guys isolated on the island. DJ Reid 875 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: is as good as it comes. He was overshadowed with 876 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener in New York. The football world will finally 877 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: get a chance to appreciate his downless. 878 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 2: Okay defensive tackle Jonathan Allen cut after eight years with Washington. 879 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 2: Maybe he's too old, I don't know, but he's going 880 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: to the Vikings three years, sixty mili. Maybe it's the 881 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: age factor that maybe I don't know. But not a 882 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 2: bad move. 883 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: Either, No, not a bad mood. I like it. The 884 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: reason I like it is because Brian Flores has been 885 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: able to stemy opponents using smoking mirrors. When then you 886 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: get legitimate talent, two time Pro Bowl, that makes a 887 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: difference up front. 888 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 3: All right, here we go. 889 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks tells you how one quarterback could be a superstar. 890 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 2: That's next on Fox.

Look, I maybe under the weather because 905 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: my tar heels are hanging on the line, and maybe 906 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: it's the nerves and anxiety and not really sickness. Maybe 907 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just having a tough time thinking about 908 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: tar Heels may not have an opportunity to dance this year, 909 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: and that would be very disappointing for a kid that 910 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 1: grew up watching the Tarios always make the tournament, always 911 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: make their way to the sweet sixteen. This would be 912 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: very disappointing. 913 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: Well, I tell you, it's a way of life in 914 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 2: North Carolina. I would think basketball almost like Kentucky, almost 915 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 2: like Kentucky. 916 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 3: Really Kentucky. Show those over. 917 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: There, Yeah, I mean they talk about Tobacco Road, and 918 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: you think about the schools that are their Duke, Carolina State, 919 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: Wake Forest, all those things that great traditions. 920 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 2: I want to throw in another school because this score 921 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 2: really got me right in the gut. I'll talk about 922 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 2: the MEAC Tournament and people say, why would you follow that? Well, 923 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: my buddy Eric Martin coaches South Carolina State. He played 924 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: at University of Cincinnati, was Bob Huggins's assistant for sixteen 925 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 2: years at both West Virginia and Kansas State. They played 926 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 2: Norfolk State yesterday. They lost sixty six sixty five on 927 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 2: a free throw and that I mean his named Eric 928 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 2: Martin was named coach of the Year MEAC and that's great, 929 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 2: but I was hoping they go bowling and I say 930 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: bowling to the tournament this year, I don't think they're 931 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 2: going to get it done because of that loss in 932 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 2: that me at conference. I don't think more than one 933 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 2: team is gonna get going to the NC Double A 934 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 2: tournament there. But what a year he's had, and uh, 935 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 2: maybe bigger and better things for Eric Martin. 936 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 3: He's one heck of a. 937 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 2: Coach and a heck of a guy really is, and 938 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 2: was a pretty good ball player too when he played 939 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 2: for Cincinnati. 940 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 3: So we move on. 941 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: But uh, look, man, look it's tough because you know, 942 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: it's amazing how you can dominate the entire year and 943 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: then you get into the we get into the tournament 944 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: and what you need is just to get a win 945 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: over teams that you dominated before. 946 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 3: Right, you were eleven and three in the conference South 947 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 3: Carolina State. 948 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's just it's amazing how that plays out. 949 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: But you talk about sending a shout out to Eric Martin, 950 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sending a shout out to a childhood friend 951 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: that has really been one of the best coaches UH 952 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: in college basketball for a long time, Lavelle Molton. He 953 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: is the head coach at North Carolina Central. UH. North 954 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: Carolina Central was able to make their way UH to 955 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: the NC Double A Tournament by winning by winning it 956 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: and so this is another opportunity for me to see 957 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: someone that I grew up with who has become one 958 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: of the best coaches that we've seen and really a 959 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: dominant program that he's created down in Durham. 960 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 2: And you know who played for North Carolina Central One 961 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 2: of my favorite players of all time, number twenty four 962 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 2: in the Boston Celtics, Sam Jones, who used the bank shot. 963 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 2: He played for North Carolina Central. 964 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: See Sam Jones? What are you doing? 965 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 3: Tim Jones? He was great, He really was. 966 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 2: You know, here's a story that I wish they were 967 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 2: more of. Okay, this is what I love. And we 968 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 2: talk about guys that get fired, and I'm always saying 969 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: to myself, you gotta wonder, do you think that if 970 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: a coach gets fired, he would hope that the team 971 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 2: would do poorly next year with the following coach? You know, 972 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 2: I think down deep inside everybody feels that way. You know, 973 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: if you're in radio, and you get fired and someone 974 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 2: takes your place. You really want to see that guy 975 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 2: who takes your place sitting in Yorkshia, you have success. 976 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 3: I don't know, Maybe you do. Maybe you're a different 977 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:55,720 Speaker 3: kind of breed. 978 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: I just think there's a lot of people that wish that, 979 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 2: but they'll never go public with it. However, there is 980 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 2: a story here where someone said something very similar. 981 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 3: And a day after agreeing to. 982 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 2: Terms with the Seattle Seahawks, ex Dallas Cowboys defensive end 983 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, he didn't hold back his feelings about the 984 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. This was an interview Thursday. He was an 985 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 2: interview with Briannenhauser of Hawk Blogger. How the hell I 986 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 2: got that? I don't know, but I got it Hawk Blogger. 987 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 2: Lawrence was taking a swipe at the Dallas Cowboys. Now 988 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 2: after he was talking about the move to Seattle. Lawrence 989 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: he spent eleven years, his first eleven seasons in Dallas. 990 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 2: He said, quote, Dallas. 991 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 3: Is my home. 992 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 2: I made my home there, my family is there, and 993 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 2: I'm forever going to be there. But I know for 994 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 2: sure I'm not going to win a Super Bowl there, 995 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 2: So yeah, we here. 996 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 3: How do you like that. I love it. Maybe he's right, 997 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 3: maybe he's wrong, but he took a shot. You know. 998 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 2: Sometimes people can say, button you live, keep the pie 999 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 2: hole closed, move on, move on with your life, and 1000 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: forget about it. But he I love that, And maybe 1001 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 2: that's the reason why, more so than even money, why 1002 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 2: he left Dallas. 1003 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult to win in Dallas because 1004 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: of all the distractions. You know, not only people talk 1005 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: about ownership and those things. I would say, just the 1006 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,919 Speaker 1: distractions of being the start of the city. Anyone who 1007 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: has been to Dallas, anyone, if you ever talked to 1008 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: a Cowboy, they just talk about the brand and how 1009 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 1: lucrative the brand is for you off the field, and 1010 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: you have to make a decision or you have to 1011 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: dig deep when you are picking players for the Cowboys 1012 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: to make sure that they love the game and not 1013 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: love what the game can bring them. In Dallas, the 1014 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: temptations are there where. Look, man, you can be a 1015 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: mediocre player and make a lot of money for a 1016 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: long time there, or you can be a champion and 1017 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: really make the Kings ransom. But how many people want 1018 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: to do the extra stuff that is needed to be 1019 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 1: a champion. That's why it's so difficult in my mind 1020 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: to build a championship team there because more than any 1021 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: other place, you really have to know that the players 1022 00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: love ball. 1023 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: So basically, when I'm hearing that, you got to give 1024 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 2: guys like Jimmy Johnson really a lot of credit for 1025 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,919 Speaker 2: what they've done because they won there. 1026 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 3: And Barry Switzer he won there. So that's how difficult 1027 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 3: it is. 1028 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 2: And I think that when you got an owner like 1029 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones looking over your shoulder, it doesn't make it 1030 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 2: any easier. 1031 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. But what we want, man, we want 1032 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 1: everyone to be all in on the process of winning. 1033 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: When I mean all in, all into. Every move that 1034 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: we are making is done with the intention of putting 1035 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: our team in Super Bowl contention. So every player, every 1036 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: coach that we bring in, shoot, even the people that 1037 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: we bring in to work in the cafeteria, everybody has 1038 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: to have a championship mindset that their job is the 1039 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: most important job for this team, this franchise to get 1040 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: over the hump. And if you don't have that, you 1041 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: can have a hard time winning because it's so competitive, 1042 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: not only in the NFC East, but the Commanders and 1043 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles really becoming two of the heavyweights in the NFC, 1044 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: but just the competitiveness of the league. So you got 1045 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: to be wired, right. It takes a village to make 1046 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: this happen. And I'm not all waking man Stead. The 1047 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys have as symbol to type of village that would 1048 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: allow you to kind of chase titles. 1049 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you mentioned that. I tell you why. 1050 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 2: I say that because I would think, and I work 1051 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,280 Speaker 2: with some professional sports teams, you would think that everybody 1052 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 2: has the same goal, and that goal is to win, 1053 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: and to win a championship. Now how hard you work 1054 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 2: to get there's a different story. And again, I live 1055 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 2: in the greater Cincinnati area, and the media in this 1056 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 2: town hell bent on attacking Mike Brown, the owner of 1057 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals, saying, ay, he's cheap, which is false 1058 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 2: because obviously, if you look at the salary structures in 1059 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 2: the National Football League, the Bengals are about in the middle. 1060 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 3: They stay like right about in the middle. 1061 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 2: But more than that, now they're saying that he doesn't 1062 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 2: want to win, and I find that ridiculous. I mean, 1063 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 2: here's a guy pushing ninety years of age, and I 1064 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 2: would think before all is said and done. He would 1065 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 2: love more than anything else to win a Super Bowl 1066 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 2: ring before he hangs it up. I think that everybody 1067 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 2: who gets involved in professional sports wants to win. Maybe 1068 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I think he does. Maybe they don't know 1069 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 2: how to get there, maybe they don't do it the 1070 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,439 Speaker 2: right way, But I think he wants to win. Don't 1071 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,919 Speaker 2: you think everybody who puts on a uniform wants to win? 1072 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. He wants to win, and he's been 1073 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: so close to tasting it. Think about them. What how 1074 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: many times are the Bengals going? Three times they've gone 1075 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, and how close they've been being 1076 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy the last one against 1077 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean, if not for a bad call 1078 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: on Logan Wilson, you can say that they should they 1079 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: should have won it and down the stretch too. Yeah. 1080 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like this is a franchise that when they 1081 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 1: are loaded, when they do make the right decisions, they 1082 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: certainly are capable of winning it. And right now they 1083 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: have the personnel to be able to do it. They 1084 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,399 Speaker 1: will be built, I say, in a weird way. Right, 1085 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 1: so everyone talks about to be a championship team. You 1086 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: have to build your team through the trenches. The Bengals 1087 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: are testing that theory by really building the team around 1088 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: the perimeter. I mean, it's more of a seven on 1089 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: seven team where you're throwing it all over the r RD. 1090 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: T Higgins, Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow. You're kind of doing 1091 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: it where you're gonna outscore. People don't know if that's 1092 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: a sustainable model, but I understand why they want to 1093 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: do it because teams have a tough time defending the 1094 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, and if they can get the defense up 1095 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: and going, they can use a blueprint and a recipe 1096 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: that served the Indianapolis Coats will when Peyton Manning was 1097 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback for them for so long. 1098 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 2: Well, I see that, and I think that obviously now 1099 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 2: the heat is on through the media and fans that 1100 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 2: they're not going to sign Chase and Higgins, and they will. 1101 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 2: They'll sign those guys. You know, I'll tell you why 1102 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 2: they're going to sign them, because they can hold out 1103 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 2: as long as they want. 1104 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 3: But who has all the cards. 1105 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 2: The Bengals have all the cards, and Jamar Chase still 1106 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 2: has another earnest contract, so there's no problem. I mean, really, 1107 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 2: and truly they will be signed, just as you said 1108 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 2: early on today that Kirk Cousins probably will not be 1109 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 2: with the Atlanta Falcons. It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight. 1110 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 2: And I think the Bengals are playing cards with these 1111 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 2: players because they can. 1112 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 3: They can. They hold all the cards. 1113 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: They hold all the cards, so they can dictate the terms. 1114 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: They can figure out how they wanted to operate when 1115 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: it comes to look, we're gonna build a team, We're 1116 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna have this financial structure. We're gonna put this salary 1117 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 1: cap plan in place to make sure that we not 1118 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,359 Speaker 1: only can compete in the short term, but the long term. 1119 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 1: Duke Tobin has talked about that, Mike Brown has talked 1120 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: about it like they want to win and they want 1121 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: to do it right. But you know, it looks on 1122 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: that terms and they want to win. There's a lot 1123 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: of money, and so they have to figure out how 1124 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: to kind of move the cobbs around and all of 1125 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,479 Speaker 1: that and to make sure that they can afford it right. 1126 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: I want to get back to the situation here with 1127 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 2: the with the remarks made in the Dallas Cowboys situation, 1128 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 2: because not only did did he come back and say something. 1129 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 2: But all of a sudden, now with Lawrence, he got 1130 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,959 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys on Twitter, and I'm not so certain 1131 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 2: that's a good move. And I got to ask you 1132 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 2: the coaches, I mean in the high school level, I 1133 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 2: guess they do that. At the college level and the 1134 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 2: pros do the coaches say, hey, guys, you know you're 1135 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 2: probably better served if you don't get on Twitter. It's 1136 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 2: a good more X whatever you want to call it. 1137 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't do you any good. I mean, someone should 1138 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 2: tell that, maybe to Kevin Durant and Lebron James, but 1139 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 2: they never did. But the linebacker of the Dallas Cowboys, 1140 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: the Marviy and Overshawn, He's coming off a. 1141 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 3: Pretty good rookie year. 1142 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 2: He posted this on X Cowboys versus everybody, And then 1143 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,399 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the linebacker Michael Parsons, he came 1144 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 2: back with more pointed words to when we say, this 1145 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 2: is what rejection and envy look like. This is some 1146 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 2: clown s blank, Yeah. 1147 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 3: You know what that is. 1148 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 2: So what is the upside of doing that? I don't understand. 1149 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 2: Do you have that much free time to play on 1150 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 2: X to do that? What good does it do? And 1151 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 2: why the coaches or someone on this ball club or 1152 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 2: any ball club say it doesn't do you any good, guys, 1153 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 2: it could only hurt you. 1154 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 3: I mean, what's the upside of doing that. 1155 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 1: Well, the difference is in college, you can control the 1156 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: police dead right near you. Rich Rodriguez in West Virginia 1157 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: told his guys, I don't want you dancing on TikTok. 1158 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't portray the image that we want to have. 1159 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,919 Speaker 1: If we're gonna be a tough, physical team, I can't 1160 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:06,240 Speaker 1: have you dancing around. Whereas in the pros they're grown ups, 1161 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: they're grown in I can't tell them what to do 1162 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: away from the facility. I can advise them and say, hey, 1163 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: that's probably not the best look. But at the end, 1164 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about twenty plus arrows who have the ability 1165 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: to make decisions on their own in terms of how 1166 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: they want to speak out and those things. It is 1167 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 1: silly and it does kind of create extra attention. But 1168 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: also know this, it's the off season. From the media standpoint, 1169 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,479 Speaker 1: we're desperate for any story. Oh, we will pop out 1170 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 1: any content that we can use and create and kind 1171 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: of spin off. So that's all it is. By the 1172 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: time we get to the regular season, it will mean nothing. 1173 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 2: I've always thought this and maybe on way off face 1174 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 2: and maybe the fact that you played in the NFL 1175 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 2: there is something like this. I don't think it's a 1176 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 2: coach's place to tell a guy a pro at least 1177 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 2: get off X, get off this. But I think they 1178 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 2: if ball clubs would hire an ex player, make him 1179 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 2: a director of a player relations something like that, and 1180 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 2: he could relate to these players or maybe a guy 1181 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 2: who play with these guys and say, guys, it's not 1182 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 2: the right thing to do. So this way, the coach 1183 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 2: gets himself off the hook. It's not his problem. But 1184 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 2: a former player who basically now works for the ball 1185 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 2: club a director of player relations, perhaps he's. 1186 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: So they already doing that. Well, so here's the thing, 1187 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: and they already have that. The NFL created years ago. 1188 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 1: In fact, when I was playing in Kansas City in 1189 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: the mid nineties, it used to be called player programs, 1190 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: right player development. You had a guy that worked with 1191 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 1: the team and he was kind of the liaison from 1192 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: the players to anything and everything in the building. He 1193 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: is the guy that you could confide in regarding any 1194 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 1: of the issues or concerns that you may have. A 1195 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: I just moved into town. Who can I talk to 1196 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: to try and find a place? Is there a relative? 1197 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: Do you know a bank that I can go to? 1198 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: All these other things? Continuing education, Hey, I want to 1199 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: finish my degree. Can you help me with those things? 1200 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 1: So there's a player in place that is now called 1201 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 1: player engagement, And so a lot of times they will 1202 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: take a former player, they will put them in that 1203 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,280 Speaker 1: role because sometimes there is a connection that former players 1204 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: have with the current players where they trust in them 1205 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: because you've walked in their shoes. And that guy can 1206 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: become the confidant. He can become the chief advisor, the 1207 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: one that helps them kind of make these decisions, and 1208 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: he can, you know, sometimes take information from the coaching 1209 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: staff when they say, hey, man, can we get him 1210 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 1: to chill? All right? Coach, let me just talk to 1211 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 1: him and just kind of let him understand why that 1212 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't be the best move. So that is in place. 1213 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 1: But I'm be honest with you, andy, grown men, you 1214 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: can't control them. Once they lead a facility like that, 1215 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: that's what they do. You know, you can handle the 1216 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,359 Speaker 1: x's and o's and all that. But once they're on 1217 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 1: their own time, you can hope and pray that they 1218 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 1: make good decisions when it comes to representative team in 1219 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:50,320 Speaker 1: the franchise. 1220 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny you mentioned that because I'm 1221 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 2: going way back before they built that new stadium in Cincinnati, 1222 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 2: they practiced. 1223 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 3: This place called Spinny Field. 1224 00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 2: I mean you needed a gas math to go over 1225 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 2: there because he was right near these construction factories. And 1226 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,360 Speaker 2: I'd go down there and I'd see the players over there, 1227 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 2: and you talk about players like really needed some guidance 1228 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 2: and some helping hands. There was one play I'm not 1229 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 2: gonna mention name. I don't want embarrassed. I mean I 1230 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 2: usually mention names. On this point in time, I'm not 1231 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 2: going through because it's really bad. One player would take 1232 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 2: his paycheck and cash it. All that money was in 1233 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 2: his glove box in his car. He didn't have a 1234 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 2: bank account and maybe he didn't know how to do it. 1235 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 2: All the money was in the glovebox. Then there was 1236 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 2: another player and I once asked him this, I said, 1237 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 2: why do you shower before practice? You know what he 1238 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 2: told me, And there is a true story. He said 1239 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 2: because this went don't have the shower after That's what 1240 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 2: he told me. Shower before practice, and I don't have 1241 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 2: the shower after practice. I mean, it's funny, but it's 1242 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 2: kind of pitiful, really, it really is. I mean, and 1243 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 2: if that's someone to tell these guys what to do, 1244 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be a lot better, I think maybe. 1245 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 2: And I'm sure I still go on today things like that. 1246 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,399 Speaker 1: Oh yes, I mean, I don't think he would mind 1247 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: me sharing this story. But this goes back to college. 1248 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian he was at a coaching clinic at SUSC 1249 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: and he was talking about how, you know, a lot 1250 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: of the players that they were interacting with came from 1251 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: homes that didn't have a mail in the house, and 1252 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 1: so they have to step into that pseudo father role 1253 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: and teach these guys about life. And some of those 1254 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 1: things may involve basic hygiene, you know, how to wash appropriately, 1255 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: how to brush their teeth, how to think about like 1256 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 1: just taking care of the little hygiene things that you 1257 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 1: need to take care of when you were man. So 1258 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 1: what I have learned when it comes to everybody whatever, 1259 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: assume nothing. You know, assume that they know nothing because 1260 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,399 Speaker 1: we don't really know all of the circumstances that they 1261 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 1: come from. But that is a part of it, and 1262 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,719 Speaker 1: I made it related to college the thing that you're 1263 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: talking about in the pros, it's different. But look, man, 1264 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 1: I see him all the same. To me, they all 1265 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 1: are supersized high school kids that are looking for guidance 1266 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 1: and then they eventually mature and become grown men if 1267 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: they're able to carve out a long, successful career in 1268 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 1: the league. But at some point everyone kind of needs 1269 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,920 Speaker 1: mentorship and guidance, and teams have to Teams try to 1270 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: provide that for those who are willing to accept it, 1271 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 1: you know. 1272 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 2: And I'm not picking on athletes because I think everybody 1273 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,319 Speaker 2: in the business world probably needs it as well. I mean, 1274 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 2: you come out of college, you're green, you don't know 1275 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,000 Speaker 2: how to do it. You're going through an office setting, 1276 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 2: You're going with guys that experienced businessmen that have been 1277 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 2: in that office maybe five, ten, fifteen years, and you're 1278 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 2: coming in as a rookie any kind of business wherever 1279 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 2: it may be, and you're intimidating, right. I Mean, so 1280 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 2: I think that every business, not just sports. So I'm 1281 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 2: not picking on athletes. Do you need that mentorship, some tutoring. 1282 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we do, this is how 1283 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 2: you coming to the office, this is the office setting, 1284 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 2: this is how you do it. You want to get 1285 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 2: involved with a four oh one K and Ira will 1286 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 2: help you. You know, that's what you need. I mean, certainly, 1287 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 2: it's not just athletes, So I don't want people to 1288 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 2: think that I'm just slapping athletes around. 1289 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 1: No, everybody, No, this is common. I don't know if 1290 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Look, everyone pays attention to Colorado. But one 1291 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,200 Speaker 1: of the things that is going on in Colorado they 1292 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: recently hired Marshall Falk. Marshall Falk spent seven years in 1293 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 1: the private sector working in finances and his job is 1294 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 1: to help some of these guys with financial literacy on 1295 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 1: the side while also being the running back coach. And 1296 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: he talked about Dion and how Dion wants to make 1297 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 1: sure that everyone that leads the program leaves the program 1298 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: prepared for life. So there is that part of it 1299 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 1: that exists not only in college but in the pros. 1300 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: And the pros is different because we assume that, hey, 1301 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 1: this is a job, they're professionals. It is a transactional relationship. 1302 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 1: But the best coaches still want to make it a 1303 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 1: transformative experience where they help young men become great and 1304 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 1: they're able to take some of the tools that they 1305 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 1: acquire throughout their career to help them become successful. When 1306 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 1: they're all setting, when it's all said and. 1307 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 2: Done, I do want to say one thing. You're sounding 1308 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 2: a lot better. You're sounding stronger. 1309 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 3: Really are SI? 1310 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I got a little more. Maybe I got 1311 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: a little more passionate in it. Maybe do a little 1312 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: passionate today. Maybe got a lot more passionate day. I 1313 00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,080 Speaker 1: got a little more juice today. 1314 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 3: I love Are you drinking some hot water with lemon? 1315 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to. 1316 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 1: Be like you.

League he Faced 1363 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: Justin fields on multiple, occasions And Justin fields tore him 1364 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 1: up every. Time three one hundred yard rushing. Days you, 1365 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: know he had the ability to dominate the game without 1366 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: being effective as a. Passer as a defensive coordinator who 1367 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 1: has now turned in a head, coach he understands the 1368 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 1: challenge That Justin fields presents when you have to defend against. 1369 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Him and though we judge quarterbacks on their ability to, 1370 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: throw we've seen a shift in quarterback play where people 1371 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: are taking anto account total, Yards so the combination of 1372 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: rushing yards and passing yards to complete the. Figure you 1373 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: think About Josh allen being THE mvp and not saying 1374 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: they're the same caliber, player but a lot Of Josh 1375 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: allen's arguments for being THE mvp centered around his ability 1376 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,000 Speaker 1: to score touchdowns in the red. Zone, well when you 1377 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 1: have a dynam athlete Like Justin, field someone who has 1378 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 1: a thousand yard center a thousand yard season on his, 1379 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 1: resume you begin to think how you can impact and 1380 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: really tear. Opponents you link him up with the receiver 1381 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: who he, loves and the doors And Garrett wilson because 1382 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 1: they played together At Ohio. State you think about the 1383 01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 1: running backs that they have in, place With Breese hall 1384 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: And Braylan allen And Tanner, ingstrand who is the new 1385 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator who spent time In. Detroit you can begin 1386 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: to see how they can put this together where it's 1387 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: a run heavy attack with explosive plays in the passing 1388 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: game to compliment what should be a really good, defense 1389 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 1: to help The jets kind of get back in the 1390 01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: conversation of being a competitive. 1391 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 3: Squad you, Know i'm really. 1392 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 2: SURPRISED i mean the situation In Pittsburgh Justin fields right, 1393 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 2: now he was traded To pittsburgh From. Chicago he put 1394 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 2: a pretty solid situation right, there wasn't even something Like foreign, 1395 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 2: two and then they benched him for whatever the Reason 1396 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 2: Russell wilson came. In were you surprised That Justin fields 1397 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 2: was the one that left and Not Russell. 1398 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 3: Wilson. 1399 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 1: No and the reason WHY i would, Say i'm not 1400 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 1: surprised because they picked someone else over. You the first 1401 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 1: time you're playing where you were the, starter the team 1402 01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Was foreign. Two it didn't look aesthetically pleasing the way 1403 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: that they were, winning but they were. Winning Mike tomlin 1404 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: opted for to take a gamble on the veteran player 1405 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 1: who he thought would add the deep ball in And 1406 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Russell wilson added the deep. Ball we saw like a 1407 01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: little six game stretch where they were throwing the ball 1408 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: down the, field but then at the end of the 1409 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: year they couldn't get it. Done they lost five games 1410 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,040 Speaker 1: in a. Row if You're Justin, fields why would you 1411 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: want to go back to that situation where they saw 1412 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 1: you every, day they saw the team responding to, you 1413 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 1: but yet they still pick the veteran over. You we 1414 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 1: always talk about in, life go where you're, celebrated not. 1415 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,160 Speaker 1: Tolerated he wanted to have an opportunity to be celebrated 1416 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 1: by a coaching staff that truly believes in his talents 1417 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: and are going to build a team that are going 1418 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: to allow him to elevate his. 1419 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 3: Game, yeah it's funny be because he didn't have a 1420 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 3: shot In. 1421 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 2: CHICAGO i mean basically getting the first draft, pick you 1422 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 2: know that it's going to be a. Quarterback so he 1423 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 2: was gone In, chicago but now he's gone In. Pittsburgh 1424 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 2: does that go through one's mind as a, player, like 1425 01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 2: AM i ever gonna make? 1426 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 3: It i'm ever gonna get a?

Percent, NO i think it. MATTERS i 1431 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 1: think it has an impact on you and the way 1432 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 1: that you look at the game and the way that 1433 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: you step onto the, field maybe looking over your shoulder 1434 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 1: as opposed to fully playing with the confidence knowing that 1435 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in. There that have some. Impact and 1436 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: what we'll be telling us how does the coach and, 1437 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 1: Staff how does the team respond when he hits a rough, 1438 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 1: patch when they lose some games or he doesn't play? 1439 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: Well do they continue to believe in, him or do 1440 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: they begin to kind of have the whispers that have 1441 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 1: always kind of accompanied him wherever he's. Gone but it's 1442 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 1: a terrific opportunity for him to show, people you, know 1443 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 1: like the talent that he. HAD i, mean they got 1444 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 1: him on a team friendly. Deal twenty million dollars is 1445 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 1: a really cheap deal for a veteran, starter Considering Daniel 1446 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 1: jones got thirteen.

Garrett, okay, Sa and that leads. 1534 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 2: Up now the light just goes out of my brain 1535 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 2: and that that doesn't happen. Often Trey hendrickson had a 1536 01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 2: better year Than Miles garrett as far as sacks are. 1537 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 3: Concerned he literally. 1538 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 2: Concerned so Does Trey hendrickson go back to The bengals and, say, 1539 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 2: Well Miles garrett got forty, MILLION i won forty? 1540 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 3: Five does he do that? 1541 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Back he can go back, there BUT i can tell 1542 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 1: you what the beingles will, Say, no thank, you all, 1543 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 1: right we'll. Pass we'll let you see if you can 1544 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,679 Speaker 1: find a deal on the open. Market we prioritize jamar 1545 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,000 Speaker 1: j and T higgins over. There some of that is 1546 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 1: that the quarterbacks. Behes Joe burrow has made it very 1547 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 1: clear that he wants them to operate like The Philadelphia. 1548 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Eagles surround me with great, talent AND i will figure it. 1549 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Out that Puts Trey henderson out on the cold because 1550 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 1: this is what has Happened, Andy they have to make. 1551 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 1: Decisions we got enough money to pay, two not, Three 1552 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: so who are the two that we're gonna. Pay, well 1553 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 1: when the quarterback, SAYS i want T higgins And Jamar chase, 1554 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 1: there you have. 1555 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 3: It well more than. 1556 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 2: That Trey henderson's thirty one And Miles garrett's twenty. SEVEN 1557 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,080 Speaker 2: i think there's a difference over. There that's a key thirty. 1558 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:32,800 Speaker 2: One you're playing the. 1559 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Downslide, Yeah but also like it's also a perception around the, 1560 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 1: League like unfortunately For Trey, hendrickson people won't view him 1561 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 1: as the superstar, athlete technician talent That Miles garrett was 1562 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,519 Speaker 1: because pedigree comes into this. Too Miles garrett was number 1563 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,519 Speaker 1: one overall. Pick Trey, HENDERSON i think was a fifth round. 1564 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: Pick sometimes it's hard to shake that label no matter 1565 01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 1: how successful you are in the. League that pedigree speaks 1566 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,679 Speaker 1: to the talent that people perceived you to have when 1567 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: you're entering the. League so they always will Give Miles 1568 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: garrett the reverence that you typically save for a number 1569 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: one overall. Pick Trey henderson doesn't get that Same he 1570 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: doesn't get the same he doesn't get that same. 1571 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 2: Respect, Okay so WHILE i Bring Miles garrett up BECAUSE 1572 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 2: i was talking about, quarterbacks all of a, sudden now 1573 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 2: The browns have a new quarterback In Kenny. Pickett So 1574 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 2: Miles garrett maybe happy sleeping with forty million dollars knowing 1575 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 2: that he put that on his. Pillow how could he 1576 01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,920 Speaker 2: possibly be happy With Kenny pickett as a? Quarterback And 1577 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 2: pickett says he's gonna get a chance to. Start he's 1578 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 2: the only healthy quarterback on their. ROSTER i, mean they're in. 1579 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,639 Speaker 2: Trouble AND i said, this they're in. Trouble If Kenny 1580 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 2: pickett's they're starting, quarterback they be better off Getting Kirk. 1581 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 3: Cousins they really would. 1582 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Be, now do you really believe that The Cleveland browns 1583 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 1: are gonna Start Kenny? 1584 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 3: Pickett he thinks they're gonna. 1585 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 1: Start, man he thought a lot of things after coming 1586 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:55,599 Speaker 1: in the league as a first round. Pick he thought 1587 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 1: he was gonna be the guy that Replaced Ben roethlisberger 1588 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,720 Speaker 1: and they were gonna build a statue for. Him he 1589 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,960 Speaker 1: quickly found out that wasn't the. Case they shipped them 1590 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 1: off To. Philly philly now shipped them To. Cleveland Kenny 1591 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,559 Speaker 1: pickett may have an opportunity to, compete but a lot 1592 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,040 Speaker 1: of it depends on the. Draft if they draft a quarterback second, 1593 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 1: overall well then he'll have a chance to compete and 1594 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,799 Speaker 1: win the. Job but if they bring in A Russell 1595 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: wilson Or Kirk cousins or, whatever, yeah they can say 1596 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,599 Speaker 1: it's a, competition but follow the. Money, Andy if they're 1597 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: paying those other guys more than they're Paying Canny, pickett 1598 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 1: your opening day starter is gonna be the guy who 1599 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 1: has more. 1600 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 3: Money no doubt about. 1601 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 2: That. NOW i would think they'd better serve With Russell 1602 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,600 Speaker 2: wilson Than Kenny, pickett no doubt in my. 1603 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,639 Speaker 3: Mind you didn't Mention Aaron. RODGERS i don't Think Aaron 1604 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 3: rodgers wants to go To. 1605 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 2: CLEVELAND i think his possibilities are basically The New York 1606 01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,479 Speaker 2: giants and The Minnesota. Vikings AND i think he's winning 1607 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 2: for The. Vikers that's what he. Wants AND i said 1608 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 2: early on, TODAY i think The vikings are his best. 1609 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,679 Speaker 2: Bet number, one he goes, back he could go Against 1610 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,200 Speaker 2: Green bay and number two atten A, dome and more than, 1611 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 2: THAT i don't Think Aaron rodgers or any athlete wants 1612 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 2: to go out and have a legacy, saying, well, man this, 1613 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 2: guy you, know your two TIME. Mvp but look what 1614 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 2: he DID i mean against The jets. Loser he walks 1615 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 2: out as a. LOSER i look At Tom, brady what he, 1616 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,559 Speaker 2: did he, left he, Won he won a Super bowl In. 1617 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 2: Tampa SO i don't think anybody wants to leave like. 1618 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,600 Speaker 1: That the only thing THAT i THAT i, say and 1619 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with, Reality it is just. 1620 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:16,760 Speaker 1: Perception is he really gonna Follow Brett farv's career and 1621 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,599 Speaker 1: do everything That Brett farv. Did he's gonna go To New. 1622 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: York then he's gonna finish his career In, minnesota just 1623 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,680 Speaker 1: Like Brett farv did after he tried so desperately to 1624 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 1: escape his shadow In Green. Bay to, me that's the 1625 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: only thing that would hold up, that like you, know 1626 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,680 Speaker 1: and it's an ego, thing like would he be okay doing? 1627 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 1: It is the best situation that he could jump, into 1628 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,560 Speaker 1: not only with the, personnel but the play. Caller pittsburgh 1629 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: would be. Interesting it would be interesting Because Mike tomin 1630 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,920 Speaker 1: has a personality that he could probably Check Aaron rodgers 1631 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 1: when he needed to to make sure that he stayed 1632 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 1: a team first due but when you look at that, team, 1633 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:52,800 Speaker 1: like how do you feel about that? Team do you 1634 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 1: feel like you can win in that? Division there's a 1635 01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,639 Speaker 1: lot to that and The, giants The giants are. Launchhot 1636 01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: If Anon rodgers wants to do, that he just wants 1637 01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 1: to stay in the house that he's currently. In he 1638 01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:02,680 Speaker 1: wants to cast a, check and he wants to have 1639 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: fun On. Broadway that's the only reason WHY i could 1640 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,599 Speaker 1: see him picking The nats because they're so far. AWAY 1641 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,759 Speaker 1: i think it would be hard for him to step 1642 01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,559 Speaker 1: in there as the so called savior For Brian Dave, 1643 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Baldin Joe shane and everyone associated with that. 1644 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 2: Team i'm with you right. There then let me go 1645 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 2: back to This Kenny pickett. SITUATION i, MEAN i don't 1646 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,200 Speaker 2: understand this trade. Whatsoever The browns traded For Kenny pickett 1647 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 2: with The. Steelers they gave up their quarterback Dtr Drian Thompson, 1648 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 2: robinson WHO i think probably is a better quarterback Than Kenny, 1649 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,200 Speaker 2: pickett and a fifth round pick For Kenny. PICKETT i, 1650 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 2: mean AND i Saw Drrian Thompson robinson. Play he is 1651 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,599 Speaker 2: sporadically played last year In cincinnati against The. BENGALS i, mean, 1652 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,040 Speaker 2: look it's tough coming in off the bench and you 1653 01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 2: don't play much and you don't know what's going.

Not we'll talk about them 1894 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,599 Speaker 2: BECAUSE i gotta believe THE nba is. Suffering they're suffering 1895 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 2: for several. Reasons number, ONE i think this season starts too. 1896 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 2: Early you, know let the starting time go To. CHRISTMAS 1897 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 2: i just believe that we're not ready for. Basketball it's 1898 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 2: like the heart OF nfl and they can't. Compete THE 1899 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,040 Speaker 2: nfl kills them and head the head. Competition whatever the. 1900 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 2: Reason and it's FUNNY i say that because gambling has 1901 01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 2: been a key to THE, nfl you, know fantasy, football 1902 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 2: gambling on. Games BUT i gotta believe if you're a, 1903 01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 2: gambler And i'm, not but if you, GAMBLE i think 1904 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 2: there's no better game to gamble on then basketball because 1905 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 2: the points spread is so. Close where in football this 1906 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 2: seven points, here three points. HERE i, MEAN i just 1907 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 2: think basketball is a better game to gamble. On BUT 1908 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,160 Speaker 2: i don't think they prosper with. THAT i don't think 1909 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 2: they play. IT i, mean if they had fantasy, basketball 1910 01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 2: Which i've never heard, OF i think that may go 1911 01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 2: further to help to help lure the. Popularity Maybe i'm, 1912 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 2: wrong but if gambling is so, popular you, know play 1913 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 2: on THAT nba and do something with. 1914 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: It, YEAH i, mean you try to Do it's funny 1915 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: that you say that that lures you're in to betting 1916 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,080 Speaker 1: and gambling basketball. Beat that would be more nerve racking 1917 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: to me because it's not as. CONTROLLABLE i just you, 1918 01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 1: know a bad dead office could certainly cost. You, yeah 1919 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 1: THE nba can certainly play on. That you, Know, like 1920 01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,920 Speaker 1: Because i'm not a, Gambler i'm not really into. IT 1921 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,840 Speaker 1: i don't really have a say when it comes to. That, 1922 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,960 Speaker 1: like you know all the lines in those, things but 1923 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,240 Speaker 1: like if you want to kind of toe that line 1924 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: and walk that type, rope, SURE i, MEAN i could 1925 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: see where THE nba would do. It BUT i worry 1926 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,559 Speaker 1: when we've seen some of the little incidents that have popped, 1927 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 1: up you, know some of the little, allegations some of 1928 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 1: the point shaving things that have kind of popped. UP 1929 01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 1: i worry about. That BUT i understand why you're talking 1930 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: about the fascination and watching, it because it does give 1931 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,680 Speaker 1: a different energy when you're. Watching when you got, money. 1932 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 2: It's so much easier to bet and so much easier 1933 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 2: to control the game because cerain football you got to 1934 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,760 Speaker 2: handle twenty two. Guys twenty two guys are handling, it 1935 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,360 Speaker 2: and only several guys really can control the points in 1936 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 2: a game of football. Basketball you got five. Guys five. 1937 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 2: Guys and we've seen scandals over the. Years in the 1938 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 2: fifties that Killed New York city, basketball the basketball scandals 1939 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:23,880 Speaker 2: and several years. Ago it seems like every ten years 1940 01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 2: there's a big scandal in. Basketball it's very easy to 1941 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 2: get a hold of one player who could throw a, 1942 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 2: game and the money out there is, there so that's a. 1943 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 2: Possibility BUT i will say another problem with, basketball at 1944 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 2: least in THE nba is the. Playoffs too many teams 1945 01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,720 Speaker 2: are in the. Playoffs, really there really. Are there's just 1946 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 2: too many. TEAMS i gotta to believe there's too. Many they're, meaningless. 1947 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,760 Speaker 2: Really and now there's another. Problem THE nba is Investigating 1948 01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 2: Oklahoma city The thunder for players. Thinning they're investigating The 1949 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City thunder for potentially violating the league's player participation. 1950 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 2: Policy this happened the other, Day march.

Things, yes they may hoist, 2158 01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:50,600 Speaker 1: threes but there's more, movement which makes the game better to. 2159 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: Watch WHEN i look at THE nba, game it's, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble. 2160 01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 1: Dribble then with eight seconds, left someone goes one on, 2161 01:35:58,360 --> 01:35:59,680 Speaker 1: one they set a pick and, roll and then you 2162 01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:01,720 Speaker 1: end up up shooting a bell out. Three so for, 2163 01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,559 Speaker 1: me it's not enjoyable to.

Bucket then the second half 2184 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,120 Speaker 1: they shot about seventy, Percent but it was the defense 2185 01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,880 Speaker 1: that wore the opponent. Down they tightened the, screws they 2186 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,360 Speaker 1: ratcheted up the, pressure and it was enjoyable to watch 2187 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,840 Speaker 1: how they played. Defense to, me that's what it. Was 2188 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 1: it was playing on both ends of the, floor which 2189 01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:13,960 Speaker 1: is why college is a more enjoyable game than THE, 2190 01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:15,880 Speaker 1: Nba no doubt about. 2191 01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:16,360 Speaker 3: It it really. 2192 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 2: Is but you have to be the youngster who watches 2193 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,320 Speaker 2: that game and, says you know, WHAT i don't know 2194 01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:23,439 Speaker 2: IF i want to play For Saint, John's Rip, PATINO 2195 01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,920 Speaker 2: i don't know IF i want to press forty. MINUTES i, 2196 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,479 Speaker 2: Really i'm sure there's some people who don't want to do. 2197 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 2: That they just want to. Shoot they didn't want to play, 2198 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,880 Speaker 2: defense and a lot of teams. Don't they really. 2199 01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:39,040 Speaker 1: Don't not. Crazy they didn't want to dig again because it's. 2200 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 1: Hard it takes a lot of. Effort and then when 2201 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:43,680 Speaker 1: we talked about that effort and it THEN i can 2202 01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 1: be able to play eighty two games playing that hard 2203 01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:47,840 Speaker 1: all the. Time it's. 2204 01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:53,920 Speaker 2: Amazing and also there's NO i, guess there's no praise for. 2205 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:57,160 Speaker 2: Defense defense is kind of take taken for. Granted you're 2206 01:37:57,200 --> 01:37:59,360 Speaker 2: not going to be in the top ten shots ON, 2207 01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:01,439 Speaker 2: espn and at the end of the, game you're not 2208 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:04,559 Speaker 2: going to be glorified for playing good. Defense that's the. 2209 01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:08,000 Speaker 2: PROBLEM i think everybody has that, ego and defense will 2210 01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,760 Speaker 2: not give you the ego the satisfaction of an, EGO i. 2211 01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,680 Speaker 3: Guess but they're.

TOURNAMENT i don't know how deep they can. 2214 01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 2: Go Their achilles, HEEL i think if they have, one 2215 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,400 Speaker 2: is the lack of the three point. Shot they don't 2216 01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:29,000 Speaker 2: shoot outside, well but they'll beat you to death inside 2217 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:29,200 Speaker 2: in the. 2218 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:33,200 Speaker 1: Paint, YEAH i, mean there's nothing wrong with beating people 2219 01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 1: that are death in the.

UPON i understand What shaka's smart. 2274 01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,760 Speaker 1: Like players are selfishly wanting to drive up the. Price 2275 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,640 Speaker 1: they want to change it in the middle of the, 2276 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:24,920 Speaker 1: season and it's just.

Money For Daniel, Jones i'm okay with. 2445 01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:59,240 Speaker 1: It but WHAT i wouldn't be okay with is what 2446 01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,800 Speaker 1: he signed when these The giants forty million dollars for 2447 01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,599 Speaker 1: what he Was that was a mistake because you can 2448 01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 1: never justify paying him that when he didn't have the 2449 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:08,760 Speaker 1: skills to carry the team at that. 2450 01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,560 Speaker 3: Level here's a question on a. 2451 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,320 Speaker 2: Throwout you would we be better served as a public 2452 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:17,479 Speaker 2: and media as well if we were not privy to 2453 01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 2: the salaries of, athletes BECAUSE i think that causes a 2454 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:23,320 Speaker 2: lot of. Problems, now obviously the athletes want to know 2455 01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,840 Speaker 2: because they'll use one against the. Other we saw that 2456 01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,160 Speaker 2: With Miles. Garrett you know he's getting forty, million now 2457 01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,000 Speaker 2: he's getting thirty five on forty million because other players 2458 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:33,920 Speaker 2: in his position were getting more and he wanted to get. 2459 01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:37,759 Speaker 2: More that's just the Way Jamar chase with The Cincinnati. 2460 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,439 Speaker 2: Bengals Justin jefferson's getting more than. Him he once more 2461 01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:41,920 Speaker 2: Than Justin. Jefferson that's just. 2462 01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:42,200 Speaker 1: The way it. 2463 01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:44,240 Speaker 2: Is BUT i think we'd be better served as a 2464 01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:47,719 Speaker 2: public media and just the public as well at, large 2465 01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,040 Speaker 2: if we didn't know what they. Made don't you? Agree 2466 01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,720 Speaker 2: if it was, prior we don't know. WHAT i don't 2467 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,280 Speaker 2: know what my fellow workers At Fox Sports radio, make 2468 01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,120 Speaker 2: AND i don't. CARE i think if that number came 2469 01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:00,120 Speaker 2: out there'll be some, problems don't you do you? 2470 01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:07,320 Speaker 1: Agree so here's the. THING i agree with you to a, point, 2471 01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:09,920 Speaker 1: right because we don't walk around in civilian life knowing 2472 01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:13,639 Speaker 1: what everyone. Makes. Right we just have a roundabout idea 2473 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,719 Speaker 1: of what certain jobs bring. About like if you're in certain, 2474 01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:18,519 Speaker 1: careers you kind of have a roundabout number in terms 2475 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,000 Speaker 1: of what they. Make sports is the only thing where 2476 01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,720 Speaker 1: everyone is out there for public. Display. Right it's all 2477 01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:25,840 Speaker 1: about how much you make or whatever it, does and 2478 01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:31,439 Speaker 1: it can create some jealousy and envy when people are 2479 01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:33,400 Speaker 1: looking at players and fans are looking at players and 2480 01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:37,680 Speaker 1: coaches in those. Things but also that is kind of 2481 01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:40,280 Speaker 1: a part of the fantasy world that we live, in 2482 01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,639 Speaker 1: because remember fantasy, football some of these things are tied 2483 01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:45,479 Speaker 1: into those things with salary cap and all that other. 2484 01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,200 Speaker 1: Stuff and now that we're so public with the salary, 2485 01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,160 Speaker 1: cap you kind of have to know how the pieces 2486 01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:52,800 Speaker 1: of the puzzle. FIT i think it's too late to 2487 01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:55,519 Speaker 1: put the two face back in the. Tube we just 2488 01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:56,320 Speaker 1: kind of have to live with. 2489 01:50:56,360 --> 01:51:01,120 Speaker 2: It, YEAH i just think that we'd be better served 2490 01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:03,120 Speaker 2: with we didn't, know and there was a time way 2491 01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:05,720 Speaker 2: back when what we didn't. Know BUT i think agents 2492 01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,760 Speaker 2: love it because they played one against the other and they, say, 2493 01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:10,880 Speaker 2: well this guy's getting this and my guy did, better 2494 01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:13,880 Speaker 2: AND i should get more. Money And Jacoby brissaid now 2495 01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 2: with The cardinals two, years twelve, million maybe it is 2496 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:19,240 Speaker 2: a bargain six million a. Year Mason rudolph's not back 2497 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:22,519 Speaker 2: with The. Steelers Mason, Rudolph, okay two years eight million. 2498 01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:24,880 Speaker 2: Dollars that to me, TOO i hate to, say that's 2499 01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:27,080 Speaker 2: probably a little bit of a. Bargain AND i don't 2500 01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:29,519 Speaker 2: understand why this guy never made. IT i saw him 2501 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:31,280 Speaker 2: play At Oklahoma. STATE i thought he was a great. 2502 01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,720 Speaker 2: Quarterback not so, MUCH i, know and that's WHY i 2503 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:36,240 Speaker 2: sit here and talk and blather all the.

Success but sometimes when you're 2513 01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:07,200 Speaker 1: projecting guys from the system that he was in Under Mike, 2514 01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,000 Speaker 1: gundy you just don't.
