1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: straight Fire, Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire, Wednesday, 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: August eighth. We're just motoring through the month of August. 4 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: Really good reaction to the Brett McMurphy interview yesterday. I 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: know there's a college football contingent of y'all out there. 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: I know there are you guys who play college football, 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: fantasy gamble on college football. We'll be doing plenty of 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: it this year. I don't exactly know how the shows 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: are going to be structured on Fridays because in the fall, 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, last year there was like no college football. 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: Really it just wasn't very good at least I didn't think, 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: given the amount of cancelations and the late notice on 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: games and everything. It was just it was crappy. Um. 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: But the good news is this year should be normal 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: college football season, making weekends even crazier. But I need 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: to start today with what I think is gonna be 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: the biggest story word today, um, at least at the 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: outset because of what's about to happen this morning. And 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys heard the news. It's a little 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: disturbing to even think about. But the Deshaun Watson case 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: allegedly has the FBI involved, and this Carnival barker of 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: a lawyer, And that's probably a harsh description, but given 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: how he is acted throughout this saga, it's been Carnival 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: barker ish. He's out there basically saying, oh, hey, the 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: FBI contacted me. Everybody, just want to let you guys know, 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: FBI contacted me about Deshaun Watson human trafficking. And again 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't like the delivery. But what I'm about to say, 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't look good for Deshaun Watson. His 29 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: lawyer is going to speak shortly. Deshaun Watson reaches out 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: to a woman via Instagram direct message who's located in Georgia. 31 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: He does this while he's in Houston. He asks for 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: a massage, he flies her in, he buys her a 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: plane ticket, he arranges for the uber, he does the 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: uber's hurt to the hotel in Houston. Like he's building 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: a case or perhaps the FBI is we should find 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: out something about that. This morning, that Deshaun Watson smuggled 37 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: people across straight lines and got whatever he got or 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: did and um human trafficking is involved. That's obviously very 39 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: very big red flag. Now I red flags probably putting 40 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: a mildly I should say. It is interesting in the 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: timing on this. Okay, this has allegedly been out there 42 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: for months that this FBI has been involved. Why does 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: it come out this week? Because last week one of 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: the big stories was, hey, is Deshaun Watson potentially going 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: to get traded? Because oh yeah, look at the Eagles 46 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, Deshaun Watson is at practice, and oh yeah, 47 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and tuh and you know, all this 48 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: talk about Watson traded and this lawyer basically saying I 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: don't want to hear that the FBI is involved. Back 50 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: up off me, you know, and whatever this guy, I 51 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't like this story, rob G. 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: But we have to talk about it. I mean again, 53 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: you don't have to have a take on everything. And 54 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I put this funny meme that my brother saw on Instagram. 55 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: I put it on my Instagram stories and some people 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: cracked up about basically how one day there's a bunch 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: of people who are, uh, what's the exact line there? 58 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen infectious disease experts, and then the next day 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: they are Afghanistan geopolitical scholars, and there's an image of 60 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Dwight shout like really, and Rob, I know you laugh 61 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: at that, But I don't know what are we supposed 62 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: to make of this. I I don't have an opinion. 63 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm annoyed, I'm frustrated. I hate that Deshaun Watson did 64 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: this or put himself in this position. I don't want 65 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: to say it's over for him. I don't want to 66 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: say he's going to jail. I don't want to say 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: six games, ten games. I don't know. No, I totally 68 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: agree with you, and this is one of those situations 69 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: where it would be irresponsible for you or anybody else 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: to have an opinion on his guilt or innocence in 71 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: any kind of former fashion, because you have to let 72 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: the legal system play out. At the same time, it 73 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: would be irresponsible of you to not mention that this 74 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: is actually going on, That this is beyond his availability 75 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: for the Houston Texas, this is beyond his trade value 76 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. This is Carolina Panthers, Carolina Path. 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: This is possibly a civil issue, obviously a criminal issue potentially, 78 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: and a federal issue. I don't know how likely it is, 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: but these are things that need to be mentioned. And 80 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: I instantly kind of turn away in just discussed over 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: this whole saga, and I quickly look to the gambling lines. 82 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: Houston Texans obviously not playing Deshaun Watson in Week one, Rob, 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: do you want to guess what the line is Jacksonville 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: Jaguars featuring new head coach Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence and 85 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: no Tim Tebow? Who will get too shortly in Houston? 86 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback on the road in Houston against probably Tyrod Taylor, 87 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: maybe Davis. I think it's Davis Mills, Um, and he 88 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: guesses to what the line is currently for that game? Uh, 89 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: let me get Houston minus one and a half incorrect? Okay, 90 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is a three point favorite? What on the road? Now? 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: That is how much public sentiment has swung. By the way, 92 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: by all accounts, it's Tyrod Taylor or Jeff Driscoll, Davis 93 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: Mills will be the third string starter. Um, But listen, 94 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: this is crazy to me. I believe that the professional 95 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: gamblers will be coming in on Houston getting three at 96 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: home against a rookie quarterback in the first time head coach. 97 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how Trevor Lawrence is favorite on the road. 98 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Not to me, that's stunning, But if you got it 99 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: way back when it opened, they were one point dogs. 100 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Then it was even as the Shawn Watson saga drifted 101 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: further into the abyss and now we're at three. So 102 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: I have a feeling, Rob, that is a lot of 103 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: public money going to Vegas in the summer saying, oh, 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: who can I get week? What? Give me a give 105 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: me a Benjamin on on the Jags. And then you've 106 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: got you know, guys doing that, A thousand guys doing that, 107 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: two thousand guys that I don't know, and the line 108 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: drifts out. I think the Sharps will come in on Houston. 109 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: And now we've gone full circle gambling and FBI to 110 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: open the podcast, but there is an NFL story I 111 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: want to quickly touch on, also involving the Jaguars, who 112 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: are getting way too much airtime on this podcast. Fox 113 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 115 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 116 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. Rob has obviously phased out 117 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: my Jets, and I've turned my attention to my man crush, 118 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Charvis Lawrence and my former colleague ha ha Urban Meyer. 119 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: We only got room for one bad team in his podcast, Okay, 120 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: he's getting off one lie. Uh. So it happened while 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: I was hosting The Dan Patrick Show with Doug Gottlieb 122 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and I should say my buddy Doug Gottlieb, 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: because a lot of people, Boy, you guys thought like 124 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: we hate each other. We're yelling at each other. It 125 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: was combative. Yeah, that's all true, but we're friendly. I 126 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: know Doug. I should I listen. I've worked with people 127 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: that I don't like. Uh, Doug's not one of them. 128 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: He's a fine guy. We worked together, Um, we get along. 129 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: We could pick up basketball. He's a nice guy. We 130 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: disagree on a lot of stuff. We disagreed on Kawhi 131 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: Leonard at times vehemently, Simone Biles uh Naomi Osaka, Uh 132 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow A little bit uh debate is healthy, but 133 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: we didn't totally disagree on Tim Tebow and the Jaguars. 134 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: And you know, again, you had a lot of people 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: celebrating as well. It's a good thing that privileged Tim 136 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Tebow is it has no chance. Listen, he gave it 137 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: a shot, right, he didn't make the cut. I thought 138 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: urban Meyer would give him more of a chance. Um. 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: Obviously Week one something of a disaster for him. We 140 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: touched on that on Monday's podcast. If you want to 141 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: run that back, it was pretty clear that he had struggled. Um. 142 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: But again, I don't know how many times I've used 143 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: failure as a theme on this podcast. Folks. In my 144 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: own life where I was had just started the website, 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: and then I went for an interview at ESPN, the magazine, 146 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: and I basically was dominating the interview, just crushing it. 147 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: I was like up using a basketball metaphor, up twenty 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: in the fourth and then I pulled the paper clips 149 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: and just choked um. And it was it was a 150 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: failure that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. 151 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: It was incredible. I said, oh, Dart, I've got to 152 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: throw all my energy into this website. Well that stinks, 153 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: you know. Three years, two years later, I'm able to 154 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: sell the website for seven figures. It's written about in 155 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: the New York Times and it gets me on the path. 156 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: Two f s one in a TV gime. Frankly, if 157 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: I get that ESPN job at the magazine, I have 158 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: no idea what my few And that's what's so crazy 159 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: about life, like that big failure turned out to be 160 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: one of the best things that's happened to be. And 161 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you could say the same about 162 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: this Tim Tebow situation, because his NFL career is clearly over. 163 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: He's had his chances now in his mid thirties and 164 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the ship has sailed. But Tebow's pretty much done as 165 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: well as you could possibly imagine given where he was 166 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: in high school, acclaimed high school quarterback. Alabama wants him, 167 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: ends up at Florida, wins a Heisman, wins two Natties. 168 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: I know, he was only the starting quarterback of one 169 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: and gets drafted in the first round. Was he overdrafted? Yeah, 170 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: but that's not his fault pinning that on Josh McDaniels. 171 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels drafts him in Denver. This guy can't throw, 172 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: this guy can't play. Denver's I think one in seven 173 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow comes in. They peel off a bunch of 174 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: wins in a row behind the magic of Tim Tebow, 175 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: a lot of luck, and they get to the player 176 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: US and they faced Pittsburgh. I mean Tim Tebow. That 177 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: was a game when he touchdown past I mean he 178 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: threw a tiny slant and Damarius Thomas took it to 179 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: the house. But Tim Tebow through a game winning touchdown pass. 180 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: In the playoffs, they got smashed by a hundred by 181 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots the following week, and I think according to 182 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss, tim Tebow never started another game after that. 183 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: I I didn't fact check that, but that's kind of staggering, 184 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: um because obviously John Elway went out and said, oh 185 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: we can. I think that's when they got Peyton Manning. 186 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a percent sure, but I believe it is. 187 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: And then you know, Tibo bounced around, you never stuck anywhere. 188 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Listen if if if you say, Tim, 189 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be your life in high school all that, 190 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then you decide I'm gonna go try 191 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: to play baseball. You get to the miners, you make 192 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: I think you make double A and then you go 193 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: back to the NFL and get to trading camp again 194 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: at a new position. Like that's living the dream. That 195 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: that's incredible. What a career. What a life, Tim Tibo said, 196 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: and he's older, like thirty four. And now Tim Tebow, 197 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: with sports behind him, can now go forward and be 198 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: a huge preacher in the South. He could go into politics, 199 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: which a lot of people have speculated. I mean, the 200 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: world is his oyster. He's married to Miss Universe. I mean, 201 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: other than living in Jacksonville, you know, Tim Tebow has 202 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: it all. And no, no, that's a shot at Jacksonvilla. 203 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that, but I don't know, Rob. I 204 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: just again, maybe I'm becoming too much of a half 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: glassful guy out here in California, to optimistic, to rosie 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: and sunny because of all the sunny days out here 207 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: in Cali. I don't know, man, but I just I. 208 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: I look at this failure as you know, a stepping stone, right. 209 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: I think I said this quote. There's no such thing 210 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: as success or failure. There's just stepping stones, you know. 211 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: And again, another alleged failure for your boy. So I'm 212 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: out here at S one UM and I'm doing Fox 213 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Sports Radio FS one, and I'm doing the Big Lead. 214 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: When I come out here. Then the Big Lead gets 215 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: sold to another group and I interview, and I think 216 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: I've told this story. I don't know. I interview with 217 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: them and they say, hey, what's your strategy. I'm like, well, 218 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: we've had a strategy. This crushing. I mean, I run 219 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: the p m L. You can take a look at 220 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: the numbers, you can take a look at the traffic, 221 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: you can take a look at the financials. Like, we're 222 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: doing really well on a shoestring budget with next to 223 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: no help from USA today. We don't do a ship 224 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: ton of s e O. We just kind of have 225 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: our pulse on what works and what doesn't. We mix 226 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: in the fluff with the important stuff, and um, I 227 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: think we got a good thing going. They said, yeah, 228 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: we don't think that's a good idea. I said, okay, 229 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: what do you guys think. We'll get back to you, 230 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: all right, And they get back to me, Hey, your 231 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: services are no longer needed. And at the moment did 232 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: it suck? Of course, in the moment it sucked. And 233 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: then like maybe five to seven minutes later, you know, 234 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: my wife's there and she's like, wait, does this mean 235 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to wake up and do the website 236 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: every day? I was like, oh yeah, And then it 237 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: kind of sunk in. I was like, oh, wait a minute, 238 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: that's not the worst thing in the world. Now, obviously 239 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the financial hit hurt, but this happened, I think, right 240 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: before March Madness, so I get to like enjoy March Madness, 241 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: and then guess what happened at Fox Sports dot Com. 242 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: They said, Hey, Jay, we want to go in on gambling. 243 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: You've been doing gambling videos for us. Can you write 244 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: up some gambling stuff? Sure? So, within months of losing 245 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: the big lead, I get on at Fox Sports Digital 246 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: and it just so happens, as luck would have it, 247 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: the harder I work, the luckier I get. Um, they 248 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: decide we want to go in all on gambling. We're 249 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: gonna rebuild sports dot com. We want you to be 250 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: at the center of it. Blah blah blah. I'm like, 251 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: oh shucks, Yeah, that works for me, and obviously they're 252 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna pay me. And so ultimately it's like, oh, I 253 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: don't have to run a website. I get to just 254 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: write about gambling on Fox Sports dot Com. And I 255 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: get to do that while keeping TV and I'm also 256 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: going to do the Fox Sports right Wow. And it's 257 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: again like it seemed like a failure at the time. 258 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: I had so many people reach out to me, Hey man, 259 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: the big lead. You had a great run. And I 260 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: felt again in the in the instant, like a loser, 261 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: Like what a failure? I am? I lost the website? 262 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: I started, jeez, and you know, almost immediately it was like, 263 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: that's not the case, Jason, wake up. And again I 264 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: feel like the samee is gonna be true for Tim Tebow. 265 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna wake up and instead of having to work 266 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: and go to practice and grind, it's gonna be like, Hey, Tim, 267 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: what would you like to do today? You've got millions 268 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: of dollars in the bank, presumably, um would you and 269 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: miss Universe like to go on a cruise? Why would 270 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: I say that nobody goes on cruises? You want to 271 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: go to the Multi coast in Italy? Do you want 272 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: to go down Under see what's going on? Maybe going 273 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: to Short Cage and Australia. I mean, you could do anything. 274 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: You don't have to be at the facility seven days 275 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: a week, six days a week, I guess probably wearing 276 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: a mask due to COVID Like like maybe this is 277 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: a blessing for Tim Tebow. I don't know, but again 278 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: I just I failed to see this as Tim Tebow 279 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: would a failure. What a loser. He sucks. He's overrated, right, 280 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Robert said, there's no gray area with Tim Tebow, which 281 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: is kind of frustrating. You are correct, he is one 282 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: of the more polarizing figures in sports. Um. As it 283 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: relates to the comparison email with yourself and him, I 284 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: think what makes it different is your fortunes that came 285 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: out of this whole situation with the big lead were 286 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: brought about because you put out good work, because of 287 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: your own grind, because of what you did that led 288 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: to other doors opening when one door closed in front 289 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: of you. Tim Tebow got his opportunities in baseball and 290 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: with the Jacksonville Jaguars because of his celebrity, had nothing 291 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: to do with his abilities as a baseball player or 292 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: as a tight end. And I think that's why people 293 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: were so upset about it. Do you think that's going 294 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: to stop now that he's done football? Absolutely not. Okay, 295 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: it's not gonna stop. Like he's he's got his name 296 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: out there, his name has equity, um folks. People don't 297 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: want to talk about this, and I should not bring 298 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: up his name on the podcast, like when people went 299 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: to the voting booth. When Trump won in sixteen, it 300 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: was like, oh, name recognition, I know that guy. How 301 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: many people do you think said I know that guy's name, 302 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for him. People don't know all 303 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: the uh, the platforms of all these guys. Come on, 304 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: Get real, Do you really think the Americans pay attention 305 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: that closely? I'm sure there's a segment that pays attention, 306 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: but a lot of people know the name recognition And 307 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: guess what Tim Tebow has massive I don't know if 308 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: it's global name recognition, but he's like a legend in 309 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: the South, and I think along the throughout the country 310 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: he's a big deal. And he certainly clicks in religious circles. 311 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: And you know that the political sides are gonna be 312 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: fighting over Tim Tebow obviously. I mean, handsome guy, married 313 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: him Mr Universe, like football player, well spoken. I mean, 314 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: he's incredible in front of an audience. I sound like 315 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: a fanboy. I mean, do you want another comparison that's 316 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: going to piss off a lot of your listeners. You 317 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: know who else benefited from something like this that people 318 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about. That would be one Michael 319 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Jordan's who got a minor league baseball deal despite 320 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: having not playing baseball like in fifteen years. But because 321 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: he is a big name, he's celebrity, and the Ryansdorf's 322 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: owned the team. Sure, Michael will let you come in 323 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: on the minor league team and and and ride the 324 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: bus and get a jersey and everything like that. Come on, Like, 325 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be upset about Tim Tebow, which I 326 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: understand you have every right to be, then please keep 327 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: that same energy for Michael Jordan's and the Barons back 328 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: in the mind. I'm with you. I mean, it is 329 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: incredible how people fail to realize that Kendall Jenner is 330 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: basically making money on money on money, just based off 331 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: her name. She's now got like some kind of tequila 332 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: brand that all she does is promoted on I G. 333 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: And she's you know, dating Devin Booker, so she has 334 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: the NBA audience following her. And it's like, okay, I 335 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 1: can tell tequila the rock getting in the tequila business. 336 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Like it's incredible what name recognition will do. And I 337 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: think pretty soon I'm gonna lend my name. I don't 338 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: know to what yet, Rob obviously it's on this podcast. 339 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: And I got tons of juice for you know, you know, 340 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: having a couple of thousand followers on Instagram. Um, but yeah, 341 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean basically, I'm gonna do pretty much the same 342 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: thing as the Rock Kendall Jenner, Donald Trump, and Tim 343 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: Tebow sleeveless shirts. I think that's where you're marketing. Put 344 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: myself in that class.

You know, it's like they didn't really have 350 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: an option. Okay, they're running Ben Simmons out of town. Uh. 351 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: Joel Embiad is the franchise. He misses twenty games every year. 352 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can build around a center 353 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: and win a title in but they're gonna try anyway. Um. 354 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: I just I can't really get that worked up about 355 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: Joel Embiid. That being said, did you happen to see 356 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: who won the Summer League title last night? I did 357 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Oh you watched? Okay, in between me watching 358 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: Nick Coxa blowout a team in Lega m X. They 359 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: have not won two in a row. I know you 360 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: guys care about the soccer team my own in Mexico. Um, 361 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: they're rolling by the way. Um, I'm excited. Sacramento Kings 362 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: won the Summer League title. Do you know who was 363 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: the driving force on that team? Ladies and gentlemen. One 364 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell, Baylor Bears guard. Now why does he matter? 365 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: I saw that the Sacramento Kings had zero contact with 366 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: him in the pre draft process. Now that's almost impossible 367 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: to believe. So I spent like twenty minutes googling this, 368 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: reading a ton of Sacramento Kings pre draft articles because 369 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: somebody at ESPN reported they had no contact with him. 370 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: It's mostly true. At the combine where you interview everybody, 371 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings talked to Davyan Mitchell. After that, they 372 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: did not talk to Davion Mitchell. So a guard who 373 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: was almost certainly going to go in the lottery, the 374 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings did not reach out to him. Why well, 375 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: they got a lot of guards. They got Buddy Healed, 376 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: they got Da Fox, They've got Yrese Haliburton, who was 377 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: incredible last Year's a rookie guard they've got, and they 378 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: picked up two guards in free agency. This is how 379 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: well the Kings are planning. Rob Delon Wright and Terrence Davis. 380 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: They're they're both good, you know, fourth fifth options at guard. 381 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: The King's decided as davan Mitchell falls in the draft, 382 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: oh we could use him, they grab him. And davy 383 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: On Mitchell has now won a state state championship in 384 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: high school. I want an au national title, won a 385 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: college basketball title with the Baylor Bears now as in 386 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: summer league title with the Sacramono Kings. All this dude 387 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: does is win. Rob g I am infinitely curious, how 388 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: is this going to work? Deer and Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, 389 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell, Buddy Healed? Can you play four guards? And 390 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: Marvin Bagley like, what what do you do? I don't 391 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: know what the strategy is, but I'm kind of fascinated. 392 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I talked about the Sacramonal Kings, so 393 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the Jacksonville Jaguars. We talk 394 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: about bad teams sometimes on this podcast. You don't care 395 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: about the Kings, but I want you, I want to 396 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: ask you, is this like a good problem to have? 397 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: Or not really. Well, anytime you have talent, it's a 398 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: good problem to have. Um. I will say that once 399 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: they made the Davey on Mitchell pick, it felt like 400 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: a precursor to another move. Now, at the time, I 401 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: was expecting it would be like the Buddy heel to 402 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: the lay fallout, which did not come to fruition. But 403 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: now what I feel like is going to happen. Well, 404 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: maybe not the deal itself, but I feel like this 405 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be a rumor that you're gonna hear about 406 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: in the weeks to come. Is Daron Fox's name thrown 407 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: into the Ben Simmons sweepstakes. So Ben Simmons to Sacramento, 408 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: correct and put him at the at the five wherever 409 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: you want to play him. But yes, because you wouldn't 410 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: trade a point guard for another point guard unless you 411 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: want to put Ben Simmons out of position, which I 412 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: wholeheartedly agree with. I think the move is to put 413 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: him at five. I think that this is spicy because 414 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: this has been reported by a few people that Sacramento 415 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: was one of the teams that called about it, and 416 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: I think that if you're Sacramento, you're not a free 417 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: agent destination. So the only way you're gonna get Marquis 418 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: stars is if through trade. And Darren Fox is a 419 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: fantastic player. I think he's really really good. I think 420 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: could be a good fit in Philadelphia. But he's not 421 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. You know, he doesn't have that level of 422 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: impact on winning that Ben Simmons does. Well. It's just 423 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: tough because Fox has never really had a chance in Sacramento. 424 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: They stink he was awesome and electric in college. I 425 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: love this guy's game. I would, I said on record 426 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: at time, I would take him over Alonzo Ball. Remember 427 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: he annihilated Alonzo ball head to head twice, like embarrassed him. 428 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: I think one was like in high school, and then 429 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: one was in the n c A tournament. I want 430 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: to say, yep, he knocked him out of the tournament. Dearan, 431 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: Fox is really really good. I he's not a he's 432 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: not a space. He doesn't spread the floor right, he 433 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: runs up and down. He's not like his pace is 434 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: kind of the antithesis of what you want with Joel E. Bead, 435 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: is it not? Yes? Correct, I would agree with that. 436 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's spicy. I like where you're going with this. 437 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: This is outside the box. You say it's been a reporter. 438 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: I haven't heard any of this. Um, well, there's been 439 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: a few teams that are reportedly been really hot and 440 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: heavy for Ben Simmons. One of them was Sacramento, one 441 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: of them was Toronto. And I believe before all these 442 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: trades happened with Pat Beverley, who had traded again this 443 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: week was Minnesota. Alright, so let me go. I'll I'll 444 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: humor you or myself as I guess, and I'll say, well, 445 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: what if what if the King said we will take 446 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, will give you Deer and Fox? And can 447 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: they unload Bagley as well? I'm sure they could, but yeah, 448 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean they just Bagley is just not a good 449 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: fit there. I don't know how we would fit with 450 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: the bead Um. And they picked up another center, didn't they? 451 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: Because they lost White Howard? They Oh, they picked up 452 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: Andre Drummond. What bad roster construction you give me? Haliburton, Healed, 453 00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell, Rashaun Holmes, and Ben Simmons. Holmes, by the way, 454 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: is not a bad player. I like his game. I 455 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 1: mean he's a solid Uh what is he comparable too? 456 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: I don't even really know. He's like a. He's like 457 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: a six ten. He's one of those rare powerfuls who 458 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: just eats glass. I don't know. He's not a space 459 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: he's not a floor spacer. But Harrison Barnes is solid, 460 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, um, I don't. I want to say that 461 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: they can contend for a playoff plot with those guards. 462 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: But can you even if you don't do a trade, 463 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: can you play Fox and Mitchell at the same time 464 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: to sub six two point cards I guess or sub 465 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: six three? I mean today's NBA, you probably could. Who's Buddy, 466 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: I guess it? Buddy healed? And then you gotta have 467 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: Haliburton on the floor. So Halliburton, Fox and Mitchell. Well, 468 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: Mitchell will come off the bench either way. That's the 469 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: way that But like in crunch time, you know your 470 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: best defender would be Mitchell on on the opposing guard. 471 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: You know, his nickname is incredible. His nickname is off Night. 472 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: And the reason is because whoever he guards, they suddenly 473 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: added off Night and he guards like the best player 474 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: on the opposing team. Like Corey Kissberg had an off 475 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: Night in the National Championship, parted buying on Mitchell. I 476 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: think that's a badass. Nickname is it not that good. 477 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, the guy isn't He's an irritant and 478 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: the total pest. Basically what I try to do as 479 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: a basketball player, and I can't really do that into 480 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: my age now, but I like to think I can 481 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: um against guys my age. But like, I'm kind of 482 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: into this King's team. I don't have to whisper that 483 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: because it's like how many Losery teams can you root for? 484 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: J um. I am on the West coast, so I 485 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: get to stay up late and watch the Kings. Um. Yeah, 486 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: and they're fun to watch case they play zero defense. 487 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: They have no Well that's the thing. The two guys 488 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: they drafted, the kid from Utah State, nemas Quita or Kah, 489 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: the big guy. All he does is shot, block and 490 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: steel and then Mitchell's hound Defensively, Kings are kind of interesting. 491 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: Is it spicy enough to say the Kings make the 492 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: playoffs over the Clippers next year? That two spice, that's 493 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: a little spicy. I just want to say, you're basically 494 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: banking on Paul George, Reggie Jackson and Eric Bloodsoe to 495 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: carry that team. Yes, I would trust that a lot 496 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: more than anything sacrament has Haliburton. Yes, I mean they're 497 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: nice players, but yes, give me the veteran NBA guy. 498 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: Remember what was what were those n f T NBA 499 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: cards called I forget NB A top Shot? Remember that? 500 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: So of course I got an account. I bought a 501 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: couple of cards. First pack, I got Tyrese Haliburton. Somebody 502 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: offered me like for it. I didn't take it. I 503 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: haven't gone to Top Shot in like six months. So 504 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what the value is of any of 505 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: this stuff, but it's somewhere in my in my wallet 506 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: or whatever it's called. Um, Haliburton is nice. You know, 507 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: this kid's got some game. I guess at six five 508 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: he could theoretically defend a small forward, but they're just 509 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: gonna post him up mouse in the house. Um. Anyways, 510 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: all right, that's enough bad teams for a Wednesday. We'll 511 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. Everybody, have a good one. Keep it 512 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: locked one week ahead, and next week is going to 513 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: be even bigger.
