23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: please do not do this, Alex. I'm serious. I was

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: waiting on it. I was waiting on it. I'm still nervous. Wow, Okay,

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, oh man? The reason back to you because

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: fin right, Okay, the Toronto they are a formidable team

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: to absolutely, but for you because the Dodgers dominated the Brewers,

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: So then I like, the Brewers weren't the best team

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: in baseball year.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: Don't do that.

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Just give the love and credit to the Dodger the

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: lowly Brewers. How are you lowly when you're the best

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: team in baseball? No, but it's about how you play now,

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: not how you play. Smoking people except the random of

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: buzz Saw named the Dodgers they were terrible. Dodger did

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: lowly Brewers? Mat I almost jumped through my phone and matrix

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: to you wherever.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: You want to see.

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: Stevens like, yeah, they're pitiful.

40
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how to have you thought you had some?

41
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: You're like, is he with me?

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: Like anyway, continue being sarcastic. Okay, yes, so anyway, here

43
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: we are. And you know, the conversation about the Dodgers

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: being bad for baseball is moronic. It's ridiculous. And as

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 4: much as I'm bashing on the Dodgers and whatnot, I

46
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: don't think they're gonna win the World Series.

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't believe that they are bad for baseball. Rob g.

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: There are so many numbers, right, it ain't about how

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 4: much money you spend. We talk about it all the time.

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: The New York Metropolitans had the highest payroll.

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Correct, Robert g. Twenty three.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: I believe it was they had the highest payroll. Yeah,

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 4: did not make the playoffs. The Yankees have been in

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 4: the top three for the last since two thousand and nine,

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: have not won a World Series, rob Gen. There are

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: some other numbers that are spectacular that just tell you

57
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: that it's not based on how much your.

58
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: Payroll is not at all.

59
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 5: Since two thousand and one, the highest payroll has only

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 5: won it all three times.

61
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Think about telling now you don't even need any more

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: numbers there, But that's a that's a solid number, tells you.

63
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: As recently as twenty twenty three, the top two highest

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: paid teams didn't even make the postseason.

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: The Yankees.

66
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 5: Okay, if the Dodgers win this World Series, that'd be

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: three out of six.

68
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: Right, that's a big deal.

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 5: Did you forget that the Giants won three out of

70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: five and nobody said they were ruining baseball a few

71
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: years better Mouse.

72
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: People don't look at the Giants like that.

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 5: Just in terms of the top ten contracts by dollars,

74
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: The Dodgers got two of them, which is a lot.

75
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 5: Right Otani and Mookie Betts. The Padres also have two

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: of them. Nobody says that the Padres are ruining baseball.

77
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: Well, one guy picks him every year. Bob said, they're

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: ruining baseball, and you can't go again. In fact, it's early.

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: In a Lot of form.

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 5: Piece by The Athletic, an anonymous small market exect argue

81
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 5: that the Dodgers dominance and visibility, not only they're not

82
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: ruining baseball, they're actually great for baseball. Here's what you

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: said quote, the game benefits from the Dodgers in Japan.

84
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: If it wasn't for the Dodgers, we wouldn't have the

85
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: fans based there that we have. So when we get

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: this next big streaming deal, we're all gonna benefit from

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. We're gonna be watched all around the world

88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: because of the Dodgers. I know that's probably not what

89
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: people want to hear, but it's true.

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: And you know what, I agree, the Dodgers the visibility.

91
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: And I'll say this, I didn't think what sho Otani

92
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: did but check the box and made him the greatest

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: player of all time. But ain't no way, Kelvin. You

94
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: can sit here and say that Sports America was buzzing

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: after his performance.

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: Am I right all over social media?

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 4: The kids, people who don't even follow baseball like that

98
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 4: know who sho hal Tani is no defeat that he did.

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: The Dodgers have that that. Los Angeles a big market.

100
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 4: They got some people, we know Mookie Bets, we got

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: people with some personality.

102
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: Last year in the World Series. Same thing.

103
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: You hit a walk off Grand Slam home run to

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: win a World Series. Everybody knows who you are, what happened.

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: It's good for the game, and it's good when you

106
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: have teams that have those kind of players that win.

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 4: People like winners. People want to follow I. You know,

108
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 4: you could say, oh, they're going overboard and spending too

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: much money. I'm never gonna buy into that because it's

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: how you spend your money that determines.

111
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: It, right yep.

112
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: And even the Mariners who were trying to make it

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: in and came one game short, they only the pay

114
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 4: rolls like one thirty six and they were one game short.

115
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: They just lost on a three run home run in

116
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: the seventh inning. They were that close.

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: The Tigers were one of the best teams in baseball

118
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: to the last month or so exactly. You and I

119
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: have talked about this a million times. We're giving a

120
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: million examples that we talked about the Giants, we talked

121
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: about the Royals, we talked to Tampa Bay Rays, like

122
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: teams that they've either won it or made it, the

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: Angels of O two. I mean, you have a shot

124
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: in baseball year in year out, whether you spend the most,

125
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: spend the least, you got a shot because if you

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: get the right pitcher and he's playing well, if your

127
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: farm system is working, if your bats are hot, if

128
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: you have a great just a great coaching staff, you

129
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: can get hot. You can be doing well in baseball.

130
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Baseball is by far the hardest to predict. Every year,

131
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: all the Yankees or the Mets, you know, or the

132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Padres or the sudn set doesn't happen, or the Dodgers, well,

133
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: they get there, but they don't win, are they. We

134
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: saw the Rangers win a couple of years ago out

135
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: the Blue great example. So I mean the Tigers pop

136
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: up in the World Series a couple of times. They

137
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: didn't win it, but they got there. Like Kansas City

138
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: War yesterday, so you just in baseball, you just don't know,

139
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of it. However, however, you do

140
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: need some villains, which is why the Yankees have always

141
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: been great for baseball, because they've been the evil empire.

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: You need the person hate now the Dodgers. If the

143
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: Dodge told Rob g I said, if the Dodgers win

144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: this year, this will be the first time to me

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: that people start to go all right, now, this is

146
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: getting crazy because that will be three since twenty twenty, twenty,

147
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, tweeny four and twenty twenty five, first time

148
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: back to back since the year two thousand with the Yankees,

149
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: and it can give confirmation bias to those who will say,

150
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: see what's.

151
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: Spending on all the money does because.

152
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Then you would have a point because they bought Otani,

153
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: they bought Yamamoto, they bought who am I missing, they

154
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: bought Blake Snail, so you could say, see, I told

155
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: you it works, So you ever give credence to that

156
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: if they were to win back to back. But I

157
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing because you need somebody, Hey,

158
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,240

161
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I don't want to see Snoop again

Speaker 4: good start four and two and uh it is Kumbaya

199
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh. I mean so much so they love I

200
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: think that they would just eat Heines ketchup all day.

201
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how excited they are to have Aaron

202
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: Rodgers fondly as their quarterback. And the kind words are

203
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: just flowing and all the other stuff that's going on,

204
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: a lot of people didn't want them there, Like they've

205
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: all flipped.

206
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: You know, you, Aaron Rodgers, you hear all kinds of stuff.

207
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 4: Those guys have flipped now, Alex, which is crazy, but

208
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: rob G, what are you hearing?

209
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: Well?

210
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, despite Aaron Rodgers saying himself back in June that

211
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 5: he's pretty sure this is the last season. That's why

212
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: I did a one year deal, despite them losing to

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bungals on primetime television in them in their

214
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 5: most recent game, just saying I gotta keep it on undo.

215
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 5: Even wh all that said. ESPN's Jeremy Fallon, friend of

216
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 5: the Show, reported earlier this week on his weekly Buzz

217
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: column that folks in Pittsburgh are hopeful that Aaron Rodgers

218
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 5: decides to for go retirement and run it back one

219
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: more time in twenty twenty. Guys, we're only through a

220
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: week seven, they've only played six games, and they're already

221
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 5: talking about re up in the contract.

222
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised, only from the standpoint, and we talked

223
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,479
Speaker 4: about it before. The reason that they waited for him,

224
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: the whole idea is that this franchise was waiting for

225
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: a quarterback. And as you just saw, who was it

226
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: who just was at Mark Spears on ESPN who just

227
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 4: came out and said, Justin Field is not a starting

228
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: quarterback in the NFL. Like like a lot of Marcus

229
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I said, Mark, spit, Mark, you.

230
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, like like people are like, okay, like.

231
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: And the point is that even the Steelers who originally

232
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: wanted them back, you know what I mean, to come

233
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: back and sign or whatever. But the point is the

234
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: Steelers felt like they just needed a quarterback. He didn't

235
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 4: have to be Aaron Rodgers from twenty ten, even though

236
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 4: he's putting up some decent numbers, But they need a quarterback.

237
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: And I think that they've seen that. They've seen what

238
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: he brings to the locker room, the respect level that

239
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: they have for him, and you know, him and Mike Tomlin,

240
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: they got a break like it's hot and heavy. So

241
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: there's a lot of good feelings. Even they haven't won

242
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: every game. He hadn't been perfect, nothing like that. Nobody's

243
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: looking for that, but I think he gives them an

244
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: element that they feel like, if we could get our

245
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: defense together, we could.

246
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: Win this division.

247
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: The Ravens are down, you know what I mean, there's

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: an opening there for sure. And I just think that

249
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: there's good feelings because he came in with the right attitude.

250
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: The Jets didn't want them, playing a simple knot. He

251
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: went there. Jets didn't want them, and he came there.

252
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 4: Terry Bradshaw, one of the most celebrated guys, came and

253
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: trashed Aaron Rodgers up and down. He didn't take the

254
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: bait that I respect him. I hope he gets to

255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 4: know me.

256
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: I thought a smart Really, I can't win even if

257
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: you're right, or if you know, had would he comeback.

258
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: You could have.

259
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: Easily went off on Terry's old coupe, you know what

260
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 4: I mean, and blah blah blah whatever it would have been.

261
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: He didn't do that.

262
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: That was and I just think it's the good feeling

263
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: of having a quarterback who they really feel is a quarterback,

264
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: and I mean can do a lot of different things.

265
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: He's not the best quarterback in the league, but I

266
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: think for the first time in a while, they feel

267
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: like they have a real quarterback.

268
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: I think that's what the feeling is, and they can

269
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: feel that.

270
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: You ever had an old car that still rode pretty well,

271
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: still look pretty good, and you just enjoyed it, and

272
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: you always like, I just love this car, and you

273
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: know it's dangerous, and you hope is working and is

274
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: working out, but eventually you know you need a new card.

275
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: That's the Steelers right now. Aaron Rodgers is playing exactly

276
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: how I thought he would. I has said he's going

277
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: to remind me of his hair better Russell Wilson. For

278
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers, Russ came out, was on fire, looked pretty good.

279
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: They're happy. Russ looked bad. They started to lose, end

280
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: up losing five or six in a row, and I

281
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: think ultimately that's what just gonna be. I don't think

282
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: he'll be as bad as Russell Wilson, because he's a

283
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: better quarterback than you know at the Pantheons, But I

284
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: think it's I think there's gonna be a downside now.

285
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: The thing that they're fortunate with and you can't help it.

286
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes fortune favors you know, the bold. Lamar Jackson's out,

287
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's out. Kill No right, I'm saying, but that's fortunate.

288
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow and the Cleveland Browns don't know what

289
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: they're doing, so that you have to take full advantage

290
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: of that.

291
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm saying they absolutely better take advantage of that.

292
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: But my biggest thing goes back to what we talked

293
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: about all on the offseason, all the things. My thing is,

294
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: if I bring him back at then what would he

295
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: be forty two? Next year? Three forty two? So he'll

296
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: be forty two years old. You know Keeley's a couple

297
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: of years ago was Torn would have had a solid season,

298
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: assuming this one that you would want him back. My

299
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: thing is, you don't have anybody in the pocket. I

300
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: would love to have Aaron Rodgers for two years if

301
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm Pittsburgh because I'm grooming my Jackson Dart, I have

302
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: my schedulers.

303
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: Nobody cares about you keep talking about because what's the point, Rob,

304
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: No hear me.

305
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: I really want to hear me out.

306
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: If he goes nine to seven, like I predict, then

307
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: let's say it's tennis seven. I mean you said, let's

308
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: say it's nine and eight. Let's say it's tenants or whatever,

309
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: and they get in a wild card or something and

310
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: they lose.

311
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: How about they win the division. They they're poised to

312
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: win the division right now.

313
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so they get the division, but let's say they went.

314
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: My point is they lose in their first game of

315
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It looks the exact same as Russell Wilson did,

316
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: and you don't have someone to replace him. And my

317
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: point is who is their guy? And that's all I've

318
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: been saying. Is not that Aaron Rodgers is terrible. No,

319
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: he's Annon Rodgers. He played solid last year with the Jets.

320
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: My old thing was, you're in a division when they're healthy,

321
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: you got Joe Burrow, you got the Raiders guy.

322
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: Who's the Raiders guy? That's the point.

323
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Find that's find their guy. They brought in Geno Smith,

324
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: and you and I both said that wasn't the move.

325
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: Okay, And I can list you ten other teams. Who's

326
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: the clues Cleveland's guy Cleveland, they might be Melon Gabriel.

327
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Okay, that's why I never wanted them to

328
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: play Joe Flacco.

329
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: Find your guy. If Dylan Gabriel. My biggest argument with

330
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: you is that's just not the way sports is set

331
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: up today. But that absolutely is. No, it's not.

332
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart was the Giants guy. We knew that in

333
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: the offseason. We all knew that? Did we not all

334
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: know that? And then they bring in Russell Wilson and

335
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: James with all these guys would go okay, and they

336
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: start Russell Wilson for an They're still not winning. Jackson

337
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Dart is their guy. They're not winning. They caught a couple,

338
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: but the they won a couple, the coaching GM might

339
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: not beat it. If they lose the last six or

340
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: seven games, would we would jack be there next year?

341
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

342
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, I'm saying they saw the it's

343
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: about winning now, It's not.

344
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: It is, Yes, it is.

345
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: It's about winning, about winning in the prolonged amount of time.

346
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh, it's not.

347
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: It's about winning every season the seas, given yourself the

348
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: best chances done right now, giving.

349
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: Yourself the best chance to haven't won the game and

350
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 4: not trying to do.

351
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: You don't know that.

352
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: You're just guessing and they're not going that's literally what

353
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: we do going on.

354
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: No, mine has insight. I'm not that stuff. I've you're

355
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: saying it's insight.

356
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: It's the same guy that again put up the same

357
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: similar numbers. It was five and twelve last year, and

358
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: his team had similar numbers. They had similar numbers Russell Wilson,

359
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: and they looked the exact same.

360
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: As they had the last seven eight.

361
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: And here's the problem with your your statistics or your numbers.

362
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 4: He's on pace to throw forty touchdowns if you take

363
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: his numbers that he has.

364
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: Now, I'll take that bet he ain't. Would you like

365
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: to make it bet twenty eight. That's about where he'll be, for.

366
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: He has tend the six games, got ten a already.

367
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: Would you like to make the better? You want to

368
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: have more than twenty eight. You said he's gonna have

369
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: the same numbers if you get if he gets thirty,

370
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: that's so lower. You said the same. No, no, no, let's

371
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: bet twenty eight. If he gets less thirty twenty, same thing.

372
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: Roight said the same. Note what you just sa you

373
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: just said said he no. No. What you said was

374
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: he's projected to get to forty. But that's what already

375
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: through the fast that's so put the bet on what

376
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: you said he's projected to his thirty he's got fourteen already,

377
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: put the bet at forty. No, I'm saying you said no,

378
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: you said, I'm gonna look about the same.

379
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: I'm saying, people, how could it look the same. He's

380
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: got fourteen thirty. You said it's gonna end up with

381
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Let's bet that.

382
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm not betting twenty eight because if it's twenty nine,

383
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: My point is it gonna be around the same as

384
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Rob, I'm saying it's gonna be much

385
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: more last year.

386
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: Forty eight or thirty. What are you guess?

387
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna be much closer to you last year than

388
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: forty not the point? That is the point.

389
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: I can settle this real quick. Yes, okay.

390
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers on pace for forty touchdowns last year at

391
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 5: twenty eight. He's also on pace for seventeen interceptions last

392
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 5: year he had eleven?

393
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: Right, So is that better? Is that better or worse?

394
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about the can you rab? Is that

395
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: better word? Are you yelling at me? You yelling at me?

396
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: He's going to look just like Russell Wilson. They're gonna

397
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: be nine and eight, ten and seven.

398
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 3: They're not gonna be nine and there. They're gonna be

399
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: ten and nine and eight.

400
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, they don't even they haven't even played well

401
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: like they're They're not that great of a team.

402
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: They're a solid team.

403
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm not even come on, man, and then and then

404
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: whatever you want, because you've been wrong on so many things.

405
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: That dude, And the whole point is they have a quarterback.

406
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: The same guy that you thought they had a quarterback

407
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 4: went to the.

408
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: That's not what I said.

409
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: No, listen, if you're say what I said to me,

410
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: I said, find out what you know.

411
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: That's what I said.

412
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: You said, just to find out what you have.

413
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: All the players they rallied around justin jail. That's what

414
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: they say, the quarterback of the future. I don't understand

415
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: why they're not playing it. That guy's my job in

416
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: New York didn't even win a damn game.

417
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: When about them, Where's I tried to tell, where's Russell

418
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Wilson right now? Tried to tell where's Russell Wilson. That's

419
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: what you told me, Russell Wilson. Where's Russell Wilson. I

420
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: know where's Russell Wilson. I told you he's Wilson. We

421
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: could go get the tape. I said, as soon as

422
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is healthy, he's gonna start.

423
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: Justin Fields is gonna start and said, no, they won't.

424
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: And I and my whole point you were, why would

425
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: I move on?

426
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: The guys that was four and two because you and

427
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: I stand by that cause he's no good. Russell Wilson

428
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson about Justin Field looks and that's my

429
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: no one basking you looks horrible. Okay, that's my point,

430
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: and find out what you have We already what point.

431
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: He's been on three teams in three years? Five out

432
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Four Aaron Rodgers been on three teams and

433
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: four years? No?

434
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: Oh has it?

Speaker 1: Packers, Jets steal it was hurt one year? That don't

436
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,240

437
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,160

442
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: The question is, with all the stuff that's going on,

443
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 4: the gambling or whatever, I think this is the worst

444
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: time ever to be a sports fan, especially NBA. I

445
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: really do break it down. I think this is if

446
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: you're a sports fan and you love the NBA, there's

447
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: nothing worse than the current NBA and the current scenario

448
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: and circumstance that you're faced right now. And here are

449
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: the reasons why Kelvin style of play, all the threes,

450
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 4: all that just the style of play isn't basketball that

451
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: I love to watch and watch all these games. I

452
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 4: don't want to see teams taking a million threes.

453
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: We've seen it.

454
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 4: The NBA All Star Game scores over two hundred. No defense.

455
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 4: We used to watch the All Star Game. It was

456
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: never this bad. Okay, load management guys decide they just

457
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: don't want to play, Teams arresting people, people paying five

458
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 4: hundred dollars for tickets, and the players decide they don't

459
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: want to play. They don't want to play back to back.

460
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan this last season in the NBA played all

461
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: eighty two games like it's just that's another part of it.

462
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: But there are two other parts. The fantasy sports, which

463
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 4: is just ruined, just ruined.

464
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: Do you have terrible conversations with your friends because you

465
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: think it's going to talk about the game. It's just

466
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: he didn't do this, he didn't do we talk about

467
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: the game.

468
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: No, they don't care about the game. It's only what

469
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 4: the player that they have and whether or not what

470
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: they're doing.

471
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: And then the last part, which is why to.

472
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 4: Me this is relevant today is the gambling aspect and

473
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: the idea of parlay and not about winning or my

474
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 4: team winning. Being mad watching the game, being mad that

475
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: the coach pulled the player out of the game, but

476
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: he needs two more rebounds. Wait a minute, why do

477
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 4: you do what? He needs another assist? Get back out there, Hey,

478
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: you need another free throw?

479
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: Head? What are you doing? Angry?

480
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 4: Your team wins but they didn't do they didn't get

481
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: your parlay. How in the world are you enjoying this

482
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: when I give you all these scenarios for.

483
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: The style of play?

484
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: Too many threes, load management, a black guy on the sport,

485
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: paying your good heart, earn money.

486
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: Nobody's showing, and then they don't want to play.

487
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 4: Fantasy sports. Everything's about fantasy rather than the game of

488
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: me caring about my team and them winning. And last

489
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: the whole parlay thing. My god, is that really where

490
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: it's about the parlay? Not that my team won and

491
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 4: they won by sixteen men, that was a great game.

492
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 4: That No, no, why you bothered your team won? Lebron

493
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 4: didn't get his although he missed it, he needed one

494
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 4: more rebound.

495
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: Dude, we're the odd company over No, we're the eye couple.

496
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: But on this subject. We are the even couple. I

497
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: have a good friend of mine who was by far

498
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: my great friend to talk sports with. You know what

499
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, just check in watching. You know, he could

500
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: be all across the country. You're watching his game right now.

501
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: World here you can just talk about the world. To

502
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: watch this game. Wind be looked great and you just

503
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: talk who who you think is better?

504
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: What do you like? You crazy? I'm taking hit?

505
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: Just that was my guy. Drive home, I got an

506
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: hour drive home. That's talk sports. We all have that

507
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: guy or you got several and he started getting heavy

508
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: into parlays.

509
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: He's the one guy. He's that guy.

510
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: You even go back and be like remember in the

511
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: old five finals when you was rooting for man that

512
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: that was my friend man that started to call him

513
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: and man, ah, what what happened?

514
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 3: I needed him to hit a mother eleven three? Like what?

515
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: But ain't you going for the rooting for or that's

516
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: not even your guy like that? I don't even know

517
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: who this kid is. I know, but I had the

518
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: team at over twenty five to threes so and it

519
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: started to change everything. I'm texting them by man, the

520
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: running bass gotta run harder? Though, why would you go

521
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: for third and six and he's like, man, random game

522
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: about some guy needs to get two more assists.

523
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like man, and they ruined that friend. Who

524
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 3: I the conversations that sports.

525
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more if you're not into

526
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: it and your buddy, your buddies, that crew that used

527
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: to be all about going to the bar and watching

528
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: the game and meeting at somebody's house. It's changed everything

529
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: now to get back to everything else you were saying

530
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: style of play, because it while it looks while it

531
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: may be scientifically the better thing to do to shoot

532
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: the three and together the it's also stylistically boring, right.

533
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: I like mid rangers. I like guys getting to the rack.

534
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: I like post up moves. Just simply shooting threes and

535
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: and all. You know, operating like that is bad. And

536
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, there was a moment when I was

537
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: questioning the competition like everything was a business decision. I

538
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: gotta wait right now, low Management. I don't want to

539
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: play because I'm not fully where I need to. I

540
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: don't want to play an all star game in the

541
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: Dunk contest because if I lose what I have to gain,

542
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: if I don't do it. If I don't, everything became

543
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: business decisions versus just the pure love of the game.

544
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: And you start to see that now the silver lining

545
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: or the hope that I have is in this new

546
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: crop of stars. Win min Yama is about win ning.

547
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: He don't want to be just I'm good and look

548
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: at me in an All Star. He wants to win.

549
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: He wants to take your part out. He wants to dominate.

550
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Ant is running through laughing at all these vs. Steph

551
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: get out of here, Lebron, get out of here, Luca

552
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: get out of here. So ant Man win, Ben Yama,

553
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag is left to determined. I like his motor.

554
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: Some of these young guys that are facing k cunning him,

555
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: they want to win. They're all in. It gives me

556
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: hope that maybe, just maybe the competition, the Karen the

557
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: want to crush each other, you know not. I mean,

558
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: you guys can be cool, but we don't have to

559
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: be uber fragnizing in front of us. I'm hoping we'll

560
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: get back to that. But I from one of This

561
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: is one of those times, for the most part, we're

562
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: in the same page with this man, and again that

563
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: part is just it's just it has ruined you to

564
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: talk to your frinds anymore. Par parlay
