I'll kick things off. Okay, I believe all 103 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: the pressure is on the forty nine ers this season. 104 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: You got they are favored in every single game this season. 105 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: Obviously lost in that ot heartbreaker for say Francisco fans 106 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl, but that solidified the dynasty for 107 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. That win solidified Mahomes Andy Reid Chiefs dynasty. 108 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: But let's get back to the forty nine ers because 109 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: it feels like their super Bowl window is shrinking. 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: Right. 111 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: You have a all star cast. 112 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Of weapons right now, but you only have about two 113 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: more years, two more seasons with all of these guys. 114 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: Let me just run through the list here, right, McCaffrey, 115 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: you just extended two more years, Deebo two more years, 116 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: Kittle has two more years, You have two more years 117 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: on brock Berty's rookie contract, and after getting his team 118 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl in 119 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: his first two seasons. 120 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: He's about to get expensive. 121 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: So all of these guys that are under contract right 122 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: now are all going to kind of be up at 123 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: the exact same time. But then the big news this 124 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: week was Brandon Ayuk requesting a trade. Now, we saw 125 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: a similar situation with Deebo Sam. They ended up getting 126 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: a deal done, but Ayuk is wanting that big money. 127 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: He wants that big wide receiver market explosion that we 128 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: just saw went to Justin Jefferson right takes the money. 129 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: Now he's still playing. 130 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: He's about to play on his fifth year option on 131 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 2: his rookie deal, so he's still under contract for the season. 132 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: Would be a free agent next year, but if they 133 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: don't come to an agreement this year, they might have 134 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: to trade him at the deadline. Now, the forty nine 135 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: Ers said they have no intention of trading him. They 136 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: want to get a deal done. He is their number 137 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: one wide receiver. But unfortunately, unfortunately for Ayuk, but fortunately 138 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: for the forty nine Ers, they've got a lot of 139 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: weapons and if it comes down to it, Ayuk is 140 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: not their complete total offense. They have options now, it 141 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: would be a huge hit and I think devastating for 142 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: this team because he kind of completes the powerhouse that 143 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: is the forty nine ers offense. But we saw this 144 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: week he posted to TikTok again and this time they've 145 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: both kind of been linked to Jade and Daniels, you guys. 146 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: This time it was a photo of Washington's practice. Last 147 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: time he was facetiming Jade and Daniels saying. 148 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: They were teammates. 149 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want me. 150 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: So I have a feeling if he leaves, he's obviously 151 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: wanting to push for Washington, who he as you mentioned, 152 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: they played together. 153 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: Antonio Pierce as well, who is now the head coach 154 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: of the Raiders at ASU, with Brandon Ayuk as well 155 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: as an assistant coach there. So there was also those rumors. 156 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: You don't want to go to a dumpster fire from 157 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: like one of the best teams in the league. 158 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: I don't know that Washington is much better right now. 159 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: I feel like they could kind of be that, like 160 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: they're going to go the way chritty, what's the what's 161 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: the word? 162 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking for sleep sleeper. 163 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: They're kind of like that sleeper team. This year, but 164 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot of new so we don't know what's 165 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: going to happen. You got new ownership, new coaching, new quarterback, 166 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: new systems, new everything. But there's a lot of potential, 167 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: a lot of potential. But back to a Yuk, the 168 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: forty nine ers, I like you like, this is the 169 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: year you gotta get it done.

You got two more seasons 171 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: for I think that super Bowl window to keep all 172 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: of these guys together before you either lose some big 173 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: pieces because the contracts are up, or guys are going 174 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: to get really expensive. 175 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're gonna need, like you said, a rounds 176 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 3: out this offensive core because of the way that he 177 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: can stretch the field. That is not something that Deebo does, 178 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: you know Samuel does. That is not something Christan McCaffrey does. 179 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: You have all of these underneath weapons and then you 180 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: get Brandon Ayuk to stretch the field out and now 181 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: they become almost unguardable. Yeah, the forty nine Ers offense 182 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: in general, because even and if even one of these 183 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: pieces isn't in place. We saw this happen with Deebo 184 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: Samuel when he was injured last season. 185 00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: It's not the same. 186 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 3: The Niners lost three in a row without Depot out there. 187 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 3: So they're all important in their own way. But to 188 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: your point, Ayuk is not the end all be all. 189 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: I think if you're gonna rank the positions in order 190 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: of importance, you're gonna put CMC at the top there. Yes, 191 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: because of his versatility and what he can do. Then 192 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 3: you also have I mean, George Kittle presenting so many 193 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: mismatches with the defense. But that doesn't negate how important 194 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: Ayuk is to the complete picture that is the forty 195 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: nine ers roster, and you need all the help you 196 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: can get to get over this Super Bowl. 197 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: Hump, this Patrick Mahomes hump. 198 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: Yes, because last year was supposed to be that year. 199 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 3: We're going we can get into this later. But like 200 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had a down quote unquote 201 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: year last. 202 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: Year, they still won. 203 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: Heard Jonas Knox talking about it before we were on air. Yeah, 204 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: still won the Super Bowl. 205 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that was your that was your opportunity's opportunity. 206 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: There's there's no way that the Niners want to subtract 207 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: from their team as it is right now. I don't 208 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: think they. I think that we can take them at 209 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 3: their word. They have no intention of trading ak. I 210 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 3: don't even think Auk wants to go anywhere. I think 211 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: this is just the only card he has to play. 212 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: Adding some heat, some pressure. 213 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: We're going to talk to forty nine ers beat reporter 214 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: an hour two Tracy Sandler, hope hopefully get some more 215 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: insight on kind of the situation where everybody's at, But Carmen, 216 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: Who is your other I guess player or team. 217 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: That has the most pressure heading into this season. 218 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: It's got to be Josh Allen and the Bills because 219 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 3: talk about subtracting, you now don't have Stefan Diggs there anymore, 220 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: lost a lot, and you have now replaced him with 221 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: rookie rookie. So now all the pressure is on Josh 222 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: Allen to elevate this offense, elevate the guys around him. 223 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 3: I mean, they have Curtis Samuel now, but he's a 224 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: number two Khalil Shakira again did some good things for 225 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: them last year, but again not a number one receiver. 226 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: I do expect a lot to come from James Cook. 227 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 3: He had eleven hundred yards last year but only two 228 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 3: rushing touchdown. But he had forty four receptions before in 229 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: or forty four yards four receiving touchdowns. So you have 230 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: to factor in James Cook to this offense, which I 231 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: think Josh Allen can lean on because he is a 232 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: versatile player. But Josh, he's gonna have to do what 233 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: elite quarterbacks do and he is going to have to 234 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 3: elevate all of these receivers and make sure that they're on. 235 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: They're on their routes, they're on. They understand him. He 236 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: understands them. Like defense, the defense too. I don't think 237 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: we're talking about about the Bill's defense enough because there 238 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: are some health concerns there, especially with linebacker Matt Malano. 239 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: Latest I saw was a couple weeks ago, and he's 240 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: still about a month out from being cleared. So you're 241 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 3: hoping he's ready to go for Week one, and he 242 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 3: is part of that engine that makes that Bill's defense 243 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: so good. And the better the defense is, the more 244 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 3: that's going to help out Josh Allen and the offense 245 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: if in fact, they take a little while to get going. 246 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: So the Bills are expected to compete, They're expected to 247 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: be a playoff team. They're expected to push the Chiefs 248 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 3: and perhaps you know, they want to get to a 249 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 3: super Bowl too, but now they're doing it with less. Yeah, 250 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: and that's a lot for Josh Allen. 251 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: It's tough too, because he's been in that elite quarterback 252 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: conversation since he came into the league. 253 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: He came in that top four. 254 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: I think there's like assaut We're gonna get into that 255 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: a little later, but there was a solid top four 256 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: that everyone can agree on, with Patrick Mahomes at number one, 257 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: and then you got your. 258 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: There's a case we made for Josh Allen at two. Honestly, 259 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: there's Joe Burrow, there's. 260 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, there's your top four elite quarterbacks. 261 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: But the only thing missing is his postseason success. He 262 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: has yet to get over that Patrick Mahomes playoff hump. 263 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 2: He's lost all three matchups to Patrick Mahomes. Last year, again, 264 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: was supposed to be the year Mahomes was on the. 265 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: Road at the Bills first, like first. 266 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: Time in the postseason that Mahomie was playing on the road, Like, 267 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: this was your chance. Josh Allen willed his team to 268 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: the postseason. Towards the back end of the regular season, 269 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: he put the Bills on his back to get Yeah, 270 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,239 Speaker 2: the playoffs, but he's five and five in the postseason 271 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 2: with three inch and then borrow either. 272 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 3: Like most most quarterbacks that named Patrick Mahomes do not 273 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 3: do better than five hundred in the postseason. But yeah, 274 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: I mean listen, even in the regular season. Last year, 275 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey didn't come on until late in the postseason. Uh. 276 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: Chiefs receivers had the most drops of anybody in the league, 277 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 3: highest like. 278 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: Insane drops like in the end zone or like like they. 279 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: The Chiefs offense had the fourth worst catch rate over expectation, 280 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: meaning they were expected to catch these passes because Patrick 281 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: Mahomes was throwing good passes, but his receivers couldn't get there. 282 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: And yet still, I like, I just I will never 283 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: ever ever bet against the Chiefs again. 284 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: Oh no, we can't. I said this during the postseason 285 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: run because I did. I bet against him. I I 286 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: took Josh Allen. I was like, this is his time, 287 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: this is the year, this is the year he gets 288 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: over the mahomee hump. And he didn't and he couldn't. 289 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: Until you prove me wrong. You cannot bet against Patrick Mahomes, 290 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: Andy Reid, Travis Kelcey, altogether when they are. 291 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: On the Chiefs. I honestly, I think it really comes 292 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: down to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. I think Andy 293 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: Reid is one of, if not the best coaches league 294 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: right now, mastermind. And then you come you couple that 295 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: with a guy that is completely one of one. Patrick 296 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: Mahomes is untouchable as far as his skill set goes 297 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: as of right now. Yeah, all that's missing is the 298 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: longevity and the trophies, which will probably still come for 299 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: him to catch Brady's records all of. 300 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: Their stuffs, of course it will. Yeah, like three and five, 301 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: he's like with three super. 302 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: Bowls changed the game more importantly. Yeah, like we now 303 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 3: no longer were very very Seldom do you see a 304 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: quarterback that is allowed to just sit in the pocket. 305 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: Which is also like, can we just talk about that 306 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: Chiefs are favored in fifteen of their seventeen games this year, 307 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: not favored at forty nine Ers and at Bills, which 308 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: they beat both of these teams. 309 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: In the playoffs. 310 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: So okay, Vegas, like you do you but like what. 311 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: I meant in hostile environments, like what both of those 312 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: teams have in common is they have very very good 313 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: home field advantages, and those teams have very good records 314 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: at home because of their fans. So I get it, 315 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: I get it. I don't I'm not saying that that's 316 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. But like, also, the Chiefs are not 317 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: going to go seventeen and zero. No, no, the what 318 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: like yeah, I mean, I guess that would be what 319 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: was left, Like they should finish off what you know, 320 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 3: the theyd. 321 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: In They don't need to. 322 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: It's like, just get to the postseason and it's a 323 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: new season, and mahoone and Andy Reid are going to 324 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: do what they do best, and that's when. 325 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 3: Which which is overhaul the entire offerense. By the way, 326 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: that's what Andy Reid does in postseason. He overhauls the 327 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 3: entire offense.

Well, so, Carmen, 397 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: how do we how do we transition this? 398 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: Carmon grew up in Chicago, Yeah, and this. 399 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Was the song that brings you back to Chicago. 400 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: And after almost three months, Caleb Williams finally signed his 401 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 2: rookie contract with the Bears four years, thirty nine million dollars, 402 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 2: twenty five point five million dollars signing bonus. And after 403 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: hearing why it took so long, you kind of have 404 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 2: to tip your cap to Caleb the businessman because he 405 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: was trying to get paid through his LLC to help 406 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: with taxes, which you, guys, this is already the first 407 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: sign of nil money maturity. 408 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, knowing to even ask for that. 409 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: But Carmen, you are Fox Sports Caleb Williams insider, So 410 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: there were a couple things that they were trying to 411 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: work out. 412 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: What were you hearing through this whole process. 413 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: Well, so, in general rookie contracts, there are some negotiable 414 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 3: points of rookie contracts. Yeah, based on where you're picked. 415 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: Obviously there's a certain salary amount and all that kind 416 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: of stuff, but total sally and bonus that's slotted. But 417 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 3: the payment schedule of that bonus is the top factor 418 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 3: that usually gets debated. 419 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: Interesting like right away. 420 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 3: Where you get it? When that bonus comes, is it 421 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 3: a signing bonus, is it whatever? And then also what 422 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 3: can void the guarantees? So Caleb Williams thirty nine million 423 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 3: dollar contract is fully guaranteed. Yeah, but and then the 424 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 3: right the twenty five million, twenty five point five million 425 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: signing bonus was upfront, so that's something that you can negotiate, 426 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 3: including the fifth year option. That's something that they that 427 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 3: teams need to agree on with players, even though it's 428 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: kind of a foregone conclusion and teams usually kind of 429 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: operate under a strong precedent. So if this usually takes 430 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: longer because they're there, they always work this stuff out 431 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: and they always make sure that their eyes are dotted 432 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 3: and their t's are crossed, which is has been the 433 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 3: case with Ryan Poles. We have we have seen former 434 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: first round picks that have taken a little bit to sign, 435 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 3: not right up into the deadline like this, but Ramadounsee 436 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 3: didn't sign until the day before Kayleb Williams did their 437 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: other first round pill And I do think that a 438 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: lot of this was the fact that these guys are 439 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 3: coming in with some business savvy understanding the business side 440 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: of this industry. Nil nil Also not only does it 441 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 3: make you does do they now have autonomy over their money, 442 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 3: which they did which players did not have before nil 443 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 3: You couldn't touch money. That was a big no no 444 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: could get you in a lot of trouble. Yeah, now 445 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 3: they have the autonomy, and they also have been making money, 446 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 3: so they're not as desperate for these NFL paychecks right away. 447 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 3: They've already had millions, especially in the case of first 448 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: round picks, are guys that are higher profile coming out 449 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: of college, they've made millions of dollars like Caleb Williams. 450 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: So you don't need to you don't like you're not 451 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: desperate need to pay your agent and all that other stuff, 452 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: because that's something that you've been doing now for years. 453 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 3: And yes, Kayleb Williams in particular has multiple companies, has 454 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: his LLC. Was trying to get around some of the 455 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 3: taxes and free the taxes in Illinois. As someone who 456 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 3: pays taxes in Illinois, it's not fun. They're not fun 457 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 3: taxes and whatever you can do because in Illinois LLCs 458 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 3: are not taxed in the same way or at all. 459 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: You were your tax based on where the LLC is 460 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: based and all that other stuff. So I totally understand 461 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: why he tried it. 462 00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: Uh huh. 463 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 3: The team had to go to the league to ask 464 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, no, and it was the league's decision 465 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: to say, no, that's not that's not. 466 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: How, that's not where, that's not going to fly your deals. Right, 467 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: you can guess paycheck. 468 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: That LLC exists. But yes, the paycheck has to go 469 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 3: directly to the player. But hey, got a tap like 470 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: tip of the cap to Caleb Williams for trying it. 471 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, like Caleb Williams, a businessman, knows what 472 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: he's doing. 473 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, knows. He He started like an investment firm too. 474 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he started an investment uh from Yeah. Here's 475 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: the thing though, I just think this is going to 476 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 3: become more and more commonplace as we get more guys 477 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 3: from the Nile era into the financial maturity. 478 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: This is so good for players. 479 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: I think it's going to make a huge difference when 480 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 3: it comes to when and how these contracts get signed, 481 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 3: because again, there are I think we took for granted 482 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 3: very like a lot that rooky contracts were just rickey contracts. 483 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: You were picked, you know, round one, number five where 484 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: you're going to get set numbers. But there have always 485 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: been negotiable portions of these contracts. But it's just the 486 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 3: players did not have the experience, yeah to say, well 487 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 3: wait a second, no, I want my I want that 488 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 3: as a signing bonus. I want to make sure that 489 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 3: my guarantees don't void if I get injured or this 490 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 3: or that or the other. Now they have the business 491 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: savvy and that's not just going to pertain to Caleb 492 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: Williams or the number one overall pick. It's going to 493 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: trickle down. And we even see this with I mean J. J. 494 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: McCarthy just signed his deal with the Minnesota Vikings this year. 495 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: Dallas Turner, their other first round pick, is still unsigned 496 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 3: with two days ago or a day Togo with with 497 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 3: camp coming very quickly.

But I was 578 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 9: at the practice yesterday for Team the Men Bea and 579 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 9: Cheryl Miller as the coach, and Cheryl Miller for those 580 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 9: that don't know, obviously the goat greatest women's basketball player 581 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 9: in my view of all time, and she was basically 582 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 9: telling Kit Crokat Angelies, we want to be tu as say, 583 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 9: do you want to be on this team? Let's show 584 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 9: them that I love them. So I expect a very 585 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 9: competitive game. Year five thirty specific time, A tip off. 586 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 9: I mean again, normally would be sort of like a 587 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 9: tuned up game. I don't think that will be the 588 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 9: case tonight. 589 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 4: No. 590 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: I think it's so interesting that, yeah, now that this 591 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: rivalry between Caitlin and Angel is momentarily paused, yeah, because 592 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 3: they're on the same team and now, but it's still 593 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: spilling over into wanting to show, you know, the old 594 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 3: guard that. 595 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: These news we deserve to be here, We deserve to 596 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: be here. 597 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 3: We maybe should have we had a case for the 598 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: Olympic team, all this kind of stuff. There's been so 599 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 3: much controversy over this, but I think that at the 600 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: end of the day, that's the best thing for the 601 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: league in general. 602 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 9: And I think this is just the beginning. I mean, 603 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 9: we're gonna see those two team up year after year. 604 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 9: During this game, there is still sort of a rivalry 605 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 9: the listen, Kate is more sort of it doesn't the 606 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 9: same thing, but listen, like I think like st jel 607 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 9: Reese has a chip on her shoulder. But I love it. 608 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 9: I think it's great for the league. I think it's 609 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 9: really good that these two obviously, you know, going back 610 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 9: to college, and I think that's really a big reason 611 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 9: why this sport has grown so much that we're really 612 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 9: connected to these players in college and this will only 613 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 9: continue this upcoming season with Paige Bukers and ju Juwatkins. 614 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 9: I mean, what we're seeing right now, this will only continue. 615 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: I love that we already like know and have so 616 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: many superstars in college basketball that are only going to 617 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: continue to grow. The w But Rash, you were also 618 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 2: in Texas for the MLB All Star Game earlier this week. 619 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: Ti Oscar Hernandez has always wanted to participate in the 620 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: Home Run derby. He took advantage of his first opportunity, 621 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: becoming the first Dodger to ever win it. What did 622 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: this victory mean to Tao and the Dodgers. 623 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 9: It was such a great moment for him, and again, 624 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 9: you know, I mean, I've been watching this competition for 625 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 9: years and I very rarely does a Dodger player participate, 626 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 9: and speaking, I think Josh Peterson was like the last one, 627 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 9: and so when Tayo won, I just had a triple 628 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 9: check him on. Guy, I think it's the first time 629 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 9: a Dodger has won, and he did, and it meant 630 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 9: a lot to him and it was really cool that 631 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 9: his teammates were there. You know, when you begin this 632 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 9: season on a team that has you know, Shoheyo Tani 633 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 9: and Ferdie Freeman and Moodie Betts and Will Smith. You can 634 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 9: go down the list. For Tao to really be sort 635 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 9: of the consistent presidence of a team that has been 636 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 9: hurt this year, but for him to you know, get 637 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 9: that trophy, get that award, it really meant a lot. 638 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 9: And so it was a great time to talk to 639 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 9: him post game, and it meant a lot. Again, there's 640 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 9: a lot of big name players who don't want to participate. 641 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 9: He did. 642 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: Now. 643 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: You said it was cool having his teammates there, but honestly, 644 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed that only a lot of 645 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: his team, it's Tyler Glass now stayed to support and 646 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: watch him win.

At 673 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 3: this point, we're watching Team USA. They're now tied with 674 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: out Sudan. Finally, uh, I want to know where you 675 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 3: land on. Okay, there's the Team of All Stars. These guys, 676 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: you know, you put them all together, but they don't 677 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: necessarily form a cohesive team. That's good on defense that 678 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 3: you know can not only score but then can also 679 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: play it on the other end of the court. Where 680 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: do you land on, you know, especially with Jalen Brown 681 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 3: being snubbed and not be going being able to be 682 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: the alternate, where do you land on this? Should you 683 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 3: just put together all the all Stars or should you 684 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 3: kind of try around out the team a little bit, 685 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: knowing that the competition internationally has gotten a lot work 686 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 3: a lot better. 687 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 9: This is a this is a good lesson for them. 688 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 9: This will be good when you know. Listen, I don't 689 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 9: think they're gonna lose. I mean I think I just 690 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 9: heard it. 691 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: I just was itte cry three. 692 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, it was tough from like way down town. I mean, 693 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 9: I think this is this is I wouldn't even mind 694 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 9: them losing this game because it's a tuneup game in London. 695 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 9: Why because it doesn't count to win the gold. The goal, 696 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 9: the goal. What we're finding out Joel Embiid and by 697 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 9: the way, Stiva is a different game if you're a 698 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 9: big man and Tim Duncan found this out years ago. 699 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 9: It's a different game with It's just the rules are different. 700 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 9: So Joel Embiid is not the same dominant presence in 701 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 9: Viva Basketball that he would be during the course of 702 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 9: the season. And I think at some point Steve Kurt's 703 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 9: gonna have a very difficult conversation with him, essentially saying, 704 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 9: thank you so much for being a part of Team USA. 705 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 9: We know you had like choices, but you're not going 706 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 9: to be playing a ton And again, he has been 707 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 9: starting this entire time. He should not be starting. He 708 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 9: should really not be playing a ton. It's a tough 709 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 9: conversation to have. But he's the one piece when you 710 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 9: talk about how do the pieces fit together? He has 711 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 9: not fit in with this team. 712 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 2: Now do you think that this US team is a 713 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 2: lock to win gold? 714 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 9: I think they are because of the second unit. You know, 715 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 9: there's a lot of conversations about, oh, Greece has Gianni's 716 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 9: and you know, France has the you know whenby and 717 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 9: you know, like the entire world has great superstars, but 718 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 9: not only is the USA the deepest when you have 719 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 9: a second unit with Anthony Davis and Bamana Bayo and 720 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 9: like Anthony Edwards and like that second unit. At some 721 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,719 Speaker 9: point again watching the game today, just it is a 722 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 9: four quarter game, right, and so at some point in 723 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 9: the second half, the depth of Team USA will win out. Now, 724 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 9: are they gonna blow up like all the teams don't? 725 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 9: We've seen that today.

We want to win this. Caitlin 972 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: Clark Angel Reese, go out there and prove why you 973 00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,959 Speaker 2: deserved to be on that team. 974 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 3: This is Batman and Superman like joining forces. 975 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 2: This is so cool, and I have a feeling that 976 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: the crowd tonight is going to be on the w 977 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 2: NBA All Star Kaitlyn Clark Angel re signed. 978 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 3: Well, and especially from the sense that like this is 979 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 3: the opportunity to root for team w where in a 980 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 3: couple of weeks when you start Olympic play, then we 981 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 3: all can get behind Team USA. They're going to have 982 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 3: everybody's support. All that kind of stuff. Of God, speaking 983 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 3: of South Studia just pulled ahead. Oh nope, Now USA 984 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 3: is back to second with eight seconds ago. Team USA 985 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 3: just scored to get to one oh one and it's 986 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 3: one o one. One hundred is the score with eight 987 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 3: seconds left. So I think that the team, like the 988 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 3: Olympic team's, time will come. But this is the only 989 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 3: opportunity we're going to have to root for these WNBA 990 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 3: All stars that aren't on the Olympic team. Especially. But 991 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 3: all this means to me between Kaitlyn and Caitlyn Clark 992 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 3: and Angel Rees playing together, is that two of the 993 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 3: best rookies the league has ever seen y are getting 994 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 3: to play together. Aitlan just set the records for assist 995 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 3: ye at nineteen this past Wednesday, a single single game record. 996 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 3: She's facilitating the Fever from the basement of the league. 997 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 3: Like the Fever was the worst team in the league, 998 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 3: that's why they had the number one overall play last 999 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 3: two years, and now she has them in position whereas 1000 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 3: if the playoffs were to happen today, the Fever would 1001 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,879 Speaker 3: be the seventh seed. 1002 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 1: Like that's wild. 1003 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 3: So not only is she having individual success, she is 1004 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 3: willing her team on top of that, Angel Reese set 1005 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 3: the WNBA record for fifteen straight games with the double double. 1006 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 2: Just the reason stop because you got like quadruple teamed. 1007 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1008 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: Literally, they had. 1009 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 3: Four against the best team in the league. 1010 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: Yes, four players on her, So she didn't make that shot. 1011 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 3: Reese also has recorded double digit boards in eighteen of 1012 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 3: her last twenty three games. So these are two in 1013 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 3: their own right, very very good players and they're going 1014 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 3: up against tough competition. Asia Wilson, we need to talk 1015 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,919 Speaker 3: a little bit more about her because she's on pace 1016 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 3: to shatter the WNBA single season's scoring record. Yeah, two 1017 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 3: time MVP, two time champ are going to be going 1018 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 3: for a three p first in WNBA history. Asia just 1019 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 3: got her own shoe line, all this other stuff, like, 1020 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,919 Speaker 3: there is so much at on the line, just from 1021 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 3: a narrative perspective, from a rivalry perspective, from establishing these 1022 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 3: rookies establishing themselves in the league. I mean, like, usually 1023 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 3: we're so used to All Star games not really meaning anything, 1024 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 3: but this has And to be fair, this doesn't have 1025 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 3: any tangible meaning to the rest of the season for 1026 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 3: the WNBA. 1027 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 1: No, this has meaning, but it has meaning, and. 1028 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 3: That's exciting because that's what's going to continue the momentum 1029 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 3: of the WNBA for becoming a sport that we talk 1030 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 3: about just as much as the four major men's sports. Yeah, 1031 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 3: I just I'm gonna keep calling them men's sports. By 1032 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 3: the way, I'm gonna be like men's basketball, men the 1033 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 3: men's w and the men's NBA NBA. 1034 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 2: I actually saw really funny memes about that. I just 1035 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 2: hope Caitlin goes out there and balls out. Now you 1036 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 2: could tell she was looking forward to some time off. 1037 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 2: She decided not to participate in the skills competition because 1038 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 2: she wanted some rush. 1039 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: She said, she's been playing for a year straight. 1040 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, I know how much she respects the veterans 1041 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 2: in this league and Team USA. So I just hope 1042 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 2: that we see an all out ball out and she 1043 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 2: doesn't hold back. So like, maybe the headlines aren't all 1044 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 2: about her. I just want to see Caitlin go off, 1045 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 2: like absolutely. 1046 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 3: Go off and well, and the thing is, though she's 1047 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 3: she is the facilitator, yes so, but. 1048 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 2: She said she was like she is, I feel like 1049 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 2: it's almost taking away from. 1050 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: Her shooting, right. 1051 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 2: That's because she's like looking and trying to set up 1052 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 2: her teammates so much so that she's losing side of 1053 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 2: the basket. 1054 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 3: Right which I feel like she's establishing her herself being 1055 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 3: a facilitator first before and like the shooting will come again. 1056 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 3: But I think that right now, like that's why we're 1057 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 3: not seeing the gaudy scoring stats that we were used 1058 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 3: to from Caitlyn Clark in college. Ye, setting the wordereas 1059 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 3: now she is facilitating the rest of her team, but 1060 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 3: it's working. So I think they like, we shouldn't, like 1061 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 3: the standard for Caitlin Clark shouldn't be necessarily points and 1062 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 3: scoring and stuff like that right now. Yeah, while she's 1063 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 3: establishing herself as a player, while she's establishing her team 1064 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 3: as being competitive, which it wasn't last year or the 1065 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 3: year before for that matter. 1066 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 2: No, she is the chosen one and she has changed 1067 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: the just the entire status of this league, putting it 1068 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 2: into the spotlight. 1069 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 1: Her and Angel Reese lifting it up. 1070 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: These are two rookies who have made a bigger impact 1071 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 2: in the WNBA than we have ever seen before. 1072 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 1: So I'm so excited for tonight. This is going to 1073 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: be incredible. 1074 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 2: But you guys, a week started and is ending with 1075 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 2: all Star festivities. 1076 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 1: So let's go back to Monday. And the Home Run Derby. 1077 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: Home Run Derby Champ. 1078 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 2: Congrats to Taoscar Hernandez, the first Dodger player to ever 1079 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 2: win the Derby. And what made this so special was 1080 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 2: how badly he wanted to compete in the Derby and 1081 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,799 Speaker 2: it was a nail bier down to. 1082 00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 3: The very last fourteen. 1083 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 2: Bobby wit Junior's swing almost went out of the park 1084 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 2: to tie it. And the other reason, like, I love 1085 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 2: this so much for Tao, he was my player to 1086 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:10,800 Speaker 2: watch at the beginning of the season. 1087 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: I think he was. 1088 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 2: He was a little overlooked as a pickup by the 1089 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 2: Dodgers because they got Otani Yamamoto Glass now, but this 1090 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 2: is a guy that can hit yeah, and he can 1091 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 2: hit well once he gets going, and he really I 1092 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 2: think caught everybody's attention during the Yankee Series when he 1093 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 2: had three home runs in Yankee Stadium. 1094 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: But he's such a great guy, He's such a good teammate. 1095 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 2: He has the second most home runs on the Dodgers 1096 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 2: behind shohe Tani I will I mentioned this when we 1097 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 2: were talking to Arash But I was a little disappointed 1098 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 2: with all of his Dodgers teammates because only Tyler glassnow 1099 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 2: stayed to support him through the end of this home 1100 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 2: run derby. It was Vlatti Junior who gave him all 1101 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 2: the tips and kind of put the derby chain over him. 1102 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 2: But that's a tough moment. That's a that's a moment 1103 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 2: that like, you have so many teammates there at the 1104 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 2: All Star Game and none of them stayed to support you. Meanwhile, 1105 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 2: you see Alec Bohm and the entire Phillies team on 1106 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 2: the couch rooting him on. 1107 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: And the Phillies are doing something. 1108 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 2: Really special right now, Like they are the best team 1109 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,760 Speaker 2: in baseball right now. 1110 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,720 Speaker 1: And it's moments like those that really show you why. 1111 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 2: You can tell that the chemistry in the locker room, 1112 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: the support that they have with one another, spills over 1113 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 2: into whatever they do around in and around the game. 1114 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 2: I've covered so many different championship teams across all sports. 1115 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 3: I gonna say what separates elite teams from good teams 1116 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 3: in the in any major sport is the chemistry. And 1117 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 3: it's the intangible stuff. 1118 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 2: You can't it's something you can't force that and you 1119 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 2: can't teach that. 1120 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: You kind of have to. 1121 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 2: You have to go through something together in order to 1122 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 2: have that and to find it and the Philly have. 1123 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: They've gotten so close the last two years in the 1124 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 2: postseason and just kind of fell short, one of them 1125 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 2: being in a World Series. So it's just you can 1126 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 2: tell that they've fought together, they fight for each other, 1127 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 2: they support each other, and you could just see the 1128 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 2: difference right there. 1129 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,359 Speaker 3: I will never forget a conversation I had with he's 1130 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 3: a VP of player in development in the NFL, and 1131 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 3: he said that the teams that go all the way 1132 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 3: are rarely the teams where everything's been perfect the entire 1133 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 3: season you needed. Most of the time, it's teams that 1134 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 3: have battled through something, that have overcome some sort of 1135 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 3: adversity together, because that strengthens the locker room, it strengthens trust, 1136 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 3: it strengthens just your overall vibes. I mean, like, that's 1137 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 3: what it is, and it is I cannot say enough about. 1138 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 3: It's not quantifiable, but the intangibles are so important on 1139 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 3: these championship teams because everybody has talent, how do you 1140 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 3: separate yourself from the And it's if you have a 1141 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 3: really tight knit group that knows how to overcome things together. 1142 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've I actually gave like a keynote speech on 1143 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 2: this of like how to build a championship team, just 1144 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,840 Speaker 2: seeing from all the different sports that I've been around 1145 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 2: and covering up close all of these championship teams, and 1146 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 2: it's everyone's got to buy in. 1147 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone has to buy in. 1148 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 9: Yep. 1149 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,280 Speaker 2: You have to believe in your leaders, whether it's a captain, 1150 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 2: the coach, selfless belief where whatever they say, you have 1151 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,720 Speaker 2: to believe and it goes and you cannot have an ego. 1152 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: And then three, you have to have fun. Oh, you 1153 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: have to have fun with each other. 1154 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you can really tell, like again seeing that 1155 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 2: entire Phillies team sitting on the couch supporting their teammate 1156 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 2: through this home run derby all the way to the end. 1157 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 2: They are just as invested as he is. Those are 1158 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 2: the little things that go a long way in the end. 1159 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. I would be disappointed too if I was a 1160 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 3: Dodger fan out to see and I would be disappointed. 1161 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 7: If I was Tayo. 1162 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1163 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 3: Get you know. I get that guys like this is 1164 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 3: their time off and if they're at the All Star Game, 1165 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 3: like they want to spend time with their families too 1166 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff. 1167 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 2: But these are the two things that you show up 1168 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 2: for Home Run Derby, Well Media Day, Home Run Derby, 1169 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 2: the Red Carpet, and the All Star Game. Those are 1170 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,480 Speaker 2: like I feel like, if you're supporting a teammate, the 1171 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 2: non negotiables, if you're there, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what 1172 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 2: you got to do. 1173 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 1: But next day, I will say the. 1174 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 2: MLB All Star Games arguably one of the better All 1175 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 2: Star games. 1176 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,879 Speaker 1: It used to have a lot more meaning because you. 1177 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 2: Were playing for like home fans for the World Series, 1178 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 2: which is crazy. I know to me that WNBA might 1179 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,359 Speaker 2: rival that tonight with everything that's going on with Team 1180 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 2: USA and w All Star Team. But it's moments like 1181 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 2: these that make it so cool. Paul Skeens and Aaron 1182 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 2: Judge got to match up the best of the best 1183 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 2: right now, and this is the first time they faced 1184 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 2: each other. 1185 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, so cool, so cool. 1186 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 7: Now. 1187 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: Judge was batting fourth and Skeens was only pitching the 1188 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 2: first inning. So Wan Soto, Judge's teammate, who was batting third, 1189 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 2: told Judge, I'm gonna make sure you get to face him, okay, 1190 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 2: and he did. He ended up drawing a walk, But 1191 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 2: it was Paul Skens who won this first battle. It 1192 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 2: was just like there was so much anticipation for it, 1193 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 2: and he he did. He threw him like like a 1194 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 2: hundred heat, like right down the middle. But it's so 1195 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 2: nasty that uh yeah, Judge grounded out. But Paul Skenes 1196 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 2: also made history, becoming the first player to be named 1197 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: it All Star in the season after being drafted and 1198 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 2: was the National League started, the first time a rookie 1199 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 2: pitcher has started in the All Star Game since nineteen 1200 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 2: ninety five. 1201 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,080 Speaker 3: Did you see how he found out too?

Yeah, they 1210 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 2: did every Texas has been on the big stage a 1211 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 2: lot in the last year, obviously winning the World Series, 1212 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 2: and they did a great job when we were out 1213 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 2: there covering it. I'm sure you've been there because of 1214 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 2: the Cowboys stadium right there, but they have that like 1215 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 2: is it Texas live right in the middle too. They 1216 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 2: have so much going on in and around the stadium. 1217 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 3: It's actually a really easy, uh sports area area to navigate, 1218 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 3: which is not the case for a lot of these. 1219 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 2: Philly has a similar situation. Yeah, yeah, whether like all 1220 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: the stadiums are right there together and they have like 1221 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 2: inside somewhat situation in the middle of town. 1222 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 3: So that's a little different. But yeah, no, Philly. Philly 1223 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 3: is good too because like you can tailgate. 1224 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 2: Oh, it's insane, Infinity Live the amount of pregame shows 1225 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 2: we did during the World Series.

ESPN talked with exact scouts coaches to rank 1271 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 2: all the top ten quarterbacks. So this is coming from 1272 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 2: NFL execs, scouts and coaches heading into this season. 1273 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 3: So ports Jeremy Fowler like he does this every year 1274 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 3: and then he just takes so much. He takes so 1275 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 3: many strays because people think it's his list. 1276 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 2: No, you guys, like, no, this is this is This 1277 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 2: is coming from NFL execs, scouts and coaches. And the 1278 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 2: list goes number one. Patrick Mahomes two, Joe Burrow three, 1279 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 2: Josh Allen four, Lamar Jackson five, Matthew Stafford six, Justin 1280 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 2: Herbert seven, c J. Stroud eight, Aaron Rodgers nine, Jared 1281 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 2: Goff ten Dak Prescott with honorable mentions brock Perty, Jordan Love, 1282 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Tua Kirk, Cousins, Trevor Lawrence. Now, I think 1283 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 2: the top four all deserve. 1284 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 1: To be there. 1285 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 2: I think most people can agree on the top four, 1286 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 2: with Mahomes being number one, two through four of Burrow 1287 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 2: Alan Jackson could kind of. 1288 01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,800 Speaker 1: Be change j argue on the season. 1289 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 2: They all kind of make sense. But those are the 1290 01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 2: top four. But once you get to the. 1291 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 3: Back five, yeah, Teeds, I guess yeah, I. 1292 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: The couple couple cues that I have. 1293 01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 2: Okay, Justin Herbert has potential but hasn't proven anything yet. 1294 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: We've always talked about his potential. 1295 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 4: C J. 1296 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 2: Stroud amazing first season, but I I have a little 1297 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 2: bit and again says where who do you switch it 1298 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 2: out for? 1299 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Brock Perty does not get the respect that he deserves. 1300 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 2: In two seasons, he has gotten his team to the 1301 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 2: NFC Championship and the Super Bowl. I don't care how 1302 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,680 Speaker 2: much you argue, oh, it's so much talent that he 1303 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 2: has on his team. As a cast of characters, you 1304 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 2: still have to complete the throws. You still have to 1305 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 2: get to that point, and he has helped get the 1306 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 2: forty nine ers to that point. I think he deserves 1307 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,440 Speaker 2: to be in the top in the top ten somewhere, 1308 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 2: whether it's out of ten or nine. 1309 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 3: He has the highest EPA per dropback of any quarterback 1310 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 3: in the league, any qualified quarterback in the league, which 1311 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 3: is a minimum. I think I put in three hundred dropbacks. 1312 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 3: Meaning EPI is estimated points added. It is meant to 1313 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 3: quantify and impact a singular player has on his team. Yeah, 1314 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 3: having the highest in the league means that, Yeah, Okay, 1315 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 3: brock Purty has a bunch of talent, but guess what 1316 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 3: he's elevating those that team. He is the reason for 1317 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:09,960 Speaker 3: their success. 1318 01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to come after me for this, say. 1319 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 3: No, no, I it's still a relatively small sample size. 1320 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 3: I think what's most impressive and what goes under talked 1321 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 3: about with brock Party is that he came in midway 1322 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 3: through last and that's not this past season, the season 1323 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 3: before right and came in and like there, it was 1324 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 3: completely seamless. He elevated the team they made, There was 1325 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 3: postseason success. There's a lot there that is going under 1326 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 3: talked about. Especially when you're mister irrelevant. You're a seventh 1327 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 3: round pick. You are not adjusted yet to the speed 1328 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 3: of the game. So it's a testament to Kyle Shanahan. 1329 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,919 Speaker 3: It's a testament to the talent around him. I think 1330 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 3: that he was able to assimilate so quickly. Yeah, but 1331 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,919 Speaker 3: then this season, yeah, this past season in twenty twenty three, 1332 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 3: he maintains that level and then elevates it. So super Bowl, 1333 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 3: I again will just well, we'll never know what brock 1334 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 3: Party would be if it wasn't for the team around him, 1335 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 3: because the Niners has the team around him, and that's 1336 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 3: not his fault. The Niners have done a wonderful job 1337 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 3: of constructing that team. I think Kyle shan I don't 1338 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 3: think we talked enough about how Kyle Shanahan does need 1339 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 3: all stars to coach. That's a whole different category, to 1340 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 3: whole different story for another time. I think I think 1341 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 3: there's something there close. I think there's something there. But 1342 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 3: I do think brock Party deserves to be on this. 1343 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 1: List, on the top ten, somewhere in the top ten. 1344 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 3: It's hard because you look at some of the other guys, 1345 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 3: like to a third in EPA per drop back, not 1346 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 3: on this list. He's in the honorable mentions as well, 1347 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 3: And again I think that's more that that speaks more 1348 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 3: to Mike McDaniel and the trust that people have in 1349 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 3: McDaniel to elevate the team and to make an offense 1350 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 3: that is wildly successful no matter who's at the helm, 1351 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 3: and we've seen that. I also think to his injury 1352 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 3: history plays what works against him. 1353 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean, one more concussion, he could. 1354 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 3: Be right, but you can't deny that when he's out 1355 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 3: there and when he's healthy, the Dolphins are a better team. 1356 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 3: So there there's that. I think everybody's probably up in 1357 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 3: arms about Jalen Hurts not being on this list. I 1358 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 3: personally am not. If we're talking again, I. 1359 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Would say brought party over Jalen Hurts if I had 1360 01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 2: to put one on. Don't he deserves to be in 1361 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 2: the top ten. 1362 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 3: I don't think Jalen Hurts is among the top ten passers. 1363 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,280 Speaker 1: He's an honorable mention and he's. 1364 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 3: An honorable But like I don't. I think people are 1365 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 3: mad that he's in the honorable mentions. I think they 1366 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 3: think he should be. But I am a little bit 1367 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 3: surprised from the sense that given the people that are 1368 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 3: being polled for this, coaches, players, stuff like that, Jalen 1369 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 3: Hurts is very hard to game plan for because of 1370 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 3: his running ability in the same way that Lamar Jackson 1371 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,400 Speaker 3: is very hard to game plan for because you have 1372 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 3: so much to account for. But when you're talking top 1373 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 3: ten passers, Jalen Hurts doesn't scratch service statistically, he really doesn't. 1374 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the list of ep of per drop 1375 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 3: back too, and he's in the TOI He's behind Derek Carr. 1376 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 1: Oh wow. 1377 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, which then again brings you back to brock Party 1378 01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: being at the top of that list. 1379 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 3: Jordan Love is within the top ten there, Matthew Stafford, 1380 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, Jared Goff, all that other stuff. 1381 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 2: We'll have a lot more time to dive deeper into 1382 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 2: that as we inch closer to the season, But right now, 1383 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 2: let's check in with Martin Wise and see what's trending. O. 1384 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 7: What's trending his team USA barely? 1385 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, okay, I wasn't able to one hundred. 1386 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 7: Yes, it was one on one to one hundred. 1387 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,800 Speaker 8: Lebron James from the left wing laid the ball up 1388 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 8: to to give the team the lead, and then Winny 1389 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 8: and Gabriel honestly on a rebound got Foult a million 1390 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 8: different times and no one called it South sud Dan 1391 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:50,680 Speaker 8: probably should have won this game. 1392 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,959 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe then this is a good thing, like rash 1393 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 3: was talking about, it's gonna get you know, they'll make 1394 01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 3: some changes, They'll figure out that they need to do 1395 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 3: some different things when when it counts. 1396 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 7: Listen, listen, this team needs to make some changes. 1397 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 3: And maybe now the don't know that if they had 1398 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 3: they dominated southu Dan. Do you think that they would 1399 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 3: make any change? 1400 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 7: No, but that was what they were supposed. 1401 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,320 Speaker 1: To do, per Like what was the was the point 1402 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: favorite points spread? Yeah? 1403 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 8: The United States was forty three and a half point favorite. 1404 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 3: Like I said, maybe this was a necessary evil. 1405 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 8: They were trailing at the end of the first quarter 1406 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 8: and trailing at the end of the first half. I 1407 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,160 Speaker 8: can only imagine if you bet South Sudan first half money. 1408 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 7: I mean I'd be walking if you. 1409 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 3: Bet the spread. Like if you bet, you know with 1410 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 3: the spread you came out on top. 1411 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 8: Sure, but I mean, yeah, I think of a plus 1412 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,280 Speaker 8: ie just for them to win outright. Oh man, I 1413 01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,760 Speaker 8: would have been sick if I had to South U 1414 01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 8: Dan to win this thing. Because anyway, Lebron James finished 1415 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 8: with twenty three points, Joel Ebid had fourteen and what 1416 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 8: has been his best game in the Olympics so far 1417 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,600 Speaker 8: or Olympic exhibition matches. Steph Cray had twelve, including a 1418 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 8: very deep three that Alex Curry couldn't hold in whilst 1419 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 8: he was talking about Ross. It was probably one of 1420 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 8: the best shots of the game. Anthony Davis with fifteen. 1421 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 8: You guys have been talking about it. Baseball is back 1422 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 8: from the All Star break. The Braves beat the Cardinals 1423 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 8: three to two and ten innings. That's the first game 1424 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 8: of a double header. The Yankees lost to the Rays 1425 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 8: nine to one. Ne's the Cortes give up eight hits 1426 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 8: and two walks in four and one third innings. All 1427 01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 8: six of the runs he had were earned. Randy and 1428 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 8: Rose Raina had two home runs for Tampa Bay. John 1429 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 8: Carlos Stanton could be available to soon this next week, 1430 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,360 Speaker 8: though from New York. He's been on the injured list 1431 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 8: for the last month with a hamstring injury. The Tigers 1432 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 8: lead the Blue Jays at seven to three in the 1433 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 8: ninth inning. Right now, the A's have seven angels. One 1434 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 8: in the sixth inning of the Mets with they want 1435 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 8: nothing lead over Miami. Also in the sixth inning the 1436 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 8: second here. 1437 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 7: We go here. 1438 01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 8: We are third round of the Open Championship, just wrapped 1439 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 8: up at Royal Troon a couple hours ago.

I was at the Dodger game last 1454 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 4: night and I was screaming as Freddy Freeman hit a 1455 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 4: grand slam, and I apparently have lost my voice a 1456 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:40,760 Speaker 4: little bit. 1457 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 2: No, really, Sarey I also love a raspy voice, not 1458 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,719 Speaker 2: like totally gone, but like that tweener phase. 1459 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,919 Speaker 1: I'm like that that. It's it's beautiful. 1460 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 2: All right, Let's start with the big news this week 1461 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,280 Speaker 2: because Brendon, I, yougre quested a trade, but the forty 1462 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 2: nine ers have mentioned that they don't have any interest 1463 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 2: sending it to another team. 1464 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,599 Speaker 1: Is there still a chance they get a deal done 1465 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 1: with Ayuk? 1466 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,640 Speaker 4: That is the well I was going to say a 1467 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 4: million dollar question. I think it's more than a. 1468 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,440 Speaker 2: Million dollar million, thirty. 1469 01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 4: Million dollar question, perhaps a thirty million dollar question. You know, 1470 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 4: they don't stay particularly close together on this. But I 1471 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 4: will take everyone back a couple of years when Deebo 1472 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 4: Samuel went through his contract accession, he requested a trade. 1473 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 4: They seemed far apart, and a couple of days into 1474 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,800 Speaker 4: Camp Devo signed a deal. This one does feel a 1475 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 4: little bit different. So I'm not one hundred percent cent 1476 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 4: sure they get a deal done. And I will tell 1477 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 4: you in Discobruary March April, I thought they're going to 1478 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 4: get a deal done. They will get this done. Now 1479 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,760 Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure they're going to get 1480 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,439 Speaker 4: this done. That being said, I think we'll see brand 1481 01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,360 Speaker 4: and I you get camp. Maybe not right away, but 1482 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 4: I think we'll see him pretty early on a camp 1483 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 4: play out the rest of his contract if they can't 1484 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 4: get a deal done. But this one is different. But 1485 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,080 Speaker 4: the trade requesting, they're not treating him because at this 1486 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,920 Speaker 4: point they can't get anything back that will make them 1487 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 4: a better team without. 1488 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 3: Him, right I think about that Debos Samuel situation, and 1489 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,639 Speaker 3: I remember what his position versatility actually ended up really 1490 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 3: working against him, because I remember the Niners at one 1491 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,479 Speaker 3: point wanted to classify him as a running back, and 1492 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 3: He's like, no, I'm a receiver. I want that receiver money. 1493 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 3: But then it's also like he's not putting up the 1494 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 3: numbers that these thirty million dollar receivers are putting up 1495 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 3: right now. You contrast that with Brandon Aiyuke and just 1496 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 3: talk to us a little bit about what Brand and 1497 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,639 Speaker 3: I brings to this offense and why his case he's 1498 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,559 Speaker 3: got a better case for that thirty million dollar mark. 1499 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 4: Well, he certainly a better case because he's their only 1500 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 4: true wide receiver one and they really do look at 1501 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 4: him as their wide receiver one of the future and 1502 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,560 Speaker 4: for their next several years. I think they're hoping to 1503 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 4: get a deal done. But he also brings something to 1504 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 4: this offense that not a lot of receivers could do, 1505 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 4: and that's part of being in a Kyle Shanahan offense. 1506 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:02,440 Speaker 4: But his blocking ability is no under It's absolutely just incredible. 1507 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,519 Speaker 4: And then I think you look back at the NFC 1508 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 4: Championship game. The fort Niners are down I believe seventeen 1509 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the second half, all is lost, 1510 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 4: and then Brendan and Aiyuk makes one of the most 1511 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:17,760 Speaker 4: unbelievable catches ever. And he has that ability and we've 1512 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 4: seen him do it. I'll need to take you back 1513 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 4: to the Pittsburgh game Week one last year. Brock Perdy 1514 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 4: throws a pass that Kyle Shanahan said might have been 1515 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 4: the worst pass Brock has ever thrown into the end 1516 01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,440 Speaker 4: zone and it looks like it's going to be intercepted. 1517 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 4: Brendan Ayuk comes up with it in a way I 1518 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:34,840 Speaker 4: don't even know how he did that. So these are 1519 01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,720 Speaker 4: the special things about Brandon and if he's consistent, he 1520 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 4: can make flashy plays. He's an incredible blocker, and he 1521 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 4: is their only true wide receiver. One. I don't think 1522 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 4: he's going to get to thirty million, but maybe they 1523 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 4: can figure out a place to get him to like 1524 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:51,640 Speaker 4: twenty eight twenty eight point five. He's not going to 1525 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 4: get the thirty because he's not The numbers for that 1526 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,439 Speaker 4: aren't there yet. And even with everything that happened in 1527 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,120 Speaker 4: the wide receiver market in the off season, he's not 1528 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 4: justin Jefferson. He hasn't proven it to be justin Jefferson. 1529 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 4: I see him more in the Von Ross Saint Brown category. 1530 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 4: So you know, maybe they can figure it out. 1531 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,679 Speaker 3: There is there a chance that they give they throw 1532 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 3: a little like a few million extra this year just 1533 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 3: on top of his rookie deal, just to kind of 1534 01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 3: make him happy for now. Maybe it's not a long 1535 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 3: term deal and it doesn't get close to that thirty 1536 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 3: million dollar mark, but being on a rookie contract, they're 1537 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 3: getting a steel, they're getting him out of steel. So 1538 01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 3: do you think that there's an opportunity for them to 1539 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 3: do that and maybe throw him a little bit of 1540 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:33,559 Speaker 3: extra money right now? 1541 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 4: I think it's heard anything to that effect. I think 1542 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,560 Speaker 4: it's a possibility, but I also think from their perspective, 1543 01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 4: he's under contract. Yep, his deal is his deal. They 1544 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,040 Speaker 4: picked up the fifth year option, and they would expect 1545 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,200 Speaker 4: him to play. And I think the other thing that 1546 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 4: they have going for them is for him. Let's say 1547 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,439 Speaker 4: they don't come to agreement here, this year is so 1548 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 4: important to him because he has to show them and 1549 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 4: he has to show thirty one other team why he's 1550 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 4: worth what he thinks he let's say is thirty million dollars. 1551 01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 4: So this year is so important for him that he 1552 01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 4: is going to have to get to camp sooner rather later, 1553 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 4: and he is going to have to ball out. Whether 1554 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 4: they give him a few extra million or not. I 1555 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,599 Speaker 4: don't know that they're going to do that. I just 1556 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know how much of a 1557 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 4: difference it would make, be honest. 1558 01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's talk about someone who has balled out 1559 01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,719 Speaker 2: in his first two seasons in the NFL. 1560 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:28,599 Speaker 1: Brock Party. Now. 1561 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,759 Speaker 2: NFL execs, coaches, and scouts ranked the top ten quarterbacks 1562 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 2: in the league, and brock Party did not make that list. 1563 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 2: He was one of the quote honorable mentions instead and 1564 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:41,960 Speaker 2: labeled as a system quarterback. Carm and I both agree 1565 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,040 Speaker 2: that he should be in the top ten. Do you 1566 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,799 Speaker 2: think that is a fair description of Party? 1567 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 4: I do not think it's a fair description of party 1568 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 4: at all. But people, I think it's the weirdest thing 1569 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,880 Speaker 4: to me. We not the three of us, we, but 1570 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 4: the universal weak cannot get over that he was the 1571 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 4: last pick in the draft. And it's so bizarre to 1572 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 4: me because if he were an undrafted free agent, like 1573 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 4: an undrafted rookie free agent who came in and did 1574 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 4: what he did, people would be all over at the 1575 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 4: very differ. They'd be losing their minds. But somehow people 1576 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,360 Speaker 4: cannot get past it. I think he is a pop 1577 01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,000 Speaker 4: ten quarterback. He is not a system quarterback. I mean 1578 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,640 Speaker 4: the way that he is able to extend plays when 1579 01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 4: the pocket breaks down. His running ability is really under rated, 1580 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,719 Speaker 4: not like Mahomes. But he's elusive, and I think Devo 1581 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 4: called him slippery. I think it's elusive. He's slippery, and 1582 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 4: he makes decisions on the fly. He can make decisions 1583 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 4: on the fly. That's not something Kyle Shanahan has had 1584 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 4: with San Francisco before. So I do not believe he 1585 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 4: has a system quarterback. But also, show me a quarterback 1586 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 4: who other than Mahomes that was at my homes. Show 1587 01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 4: me a quarterback who hasn't had weapons, and I mean, 1588 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 4: that's that's part of the game. But I don't think 1589 01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 4: this is a quarterback. And the other thing is he 1590 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,000 Speaker 4: hasn't even had two full seasons. Right, He's been in 1591 01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 4: the league two years, but he first started in December 1592 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 4: of twenty twenty two, so it hasn't even been two 1593 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,040 Speaker 4: full seasons. And in those two seasons he's gone to 1594 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 4: the NFC championship game in the super Bowl. That's not 1595 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 4: a fluke, that's brock. 1596 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 1: All right, Tracy, we gotta let you go. 1597 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 2: But real quick, forty nine ers are favored in every 1598 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,839 Speaker 2: single game this season. 1599 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 1: Are they getting back to the super Bowl? 1600 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 4: It's not going to be easy. I think the line's improved. 1601 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,120 Speaker 4: I think the Eagles improved. I think the Rams might 1602 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 4: be more annoying than people think they're gonna ers. They're 1603 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:33,679 Speaker 4: getting better. 1604 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:34,280 Speaker 7: Yep. 1605 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,600 Speaker 4: That being said, when you look at the four and 1606 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:41,799 Speaker 4: hours roster stopped to bottom, should they remain relatively healthy, 1607 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 4: I still think they are the best team in the NFC. 1608 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: So I would say, yet ooo, Tracy, thank you so 1609 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 1: much for joining us. 1610 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,800 Speaker 4: Always absolutely, guys think for having me makes sure. 1611 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:52,559 Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take one more break here, But 1612 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 2: when we come back it's our feel good story of 1613 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 2: the week.
