I understand 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: that a lot of you have financial envy or animosity, 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: but I saw this story this morning. Robert Krap not 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: voted into the Hall of Fame class in twenty twenty six. 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: So let me ask you, where's the outrage? I mean, 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, I had to spend three days on it. 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: Where's the outrage? Well, Collin, come on, owners don't matter? 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Oh really? Titans, Jets, Browns perpetually has Matt spills nutty coincidence. 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Dan Snyder took over a Washington football team that had 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: a thirty year season ticket waiting list twenty four years 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: Washington was a train wreck. The NFL kicks him out. 23 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: The next year they're in the NFC Championship. I bet 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: that's just the nutty coincidence too. New England was awful 25 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: before Robert Kraft got there, five straight years of losing seasons. 26 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: In fact, in that half decade they had the worst 27 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: record in the league. Robert Kraft buys them. The next 28 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: year they're ten and six. What are the chances pre 29 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: Belichick with Bellich post Belichick super Bowls. I've worked for 30 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: over thirty five years in radio and TV. I have 31 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: had seven corporate owners. There is an inarguable, undeniable, I'll 32 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: die on this hill, direct correlation between the quality of 33 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the owner and the quality of the management and decisions 34 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: that are made with people. Robert Kraft eleven Super Bowls 35 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: since he bought the team. That's more than the rest 36 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: of the AFC East, the AFC North, and the AFC 37 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: South combined. Joe Burrow last several years has been the 38 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league statistically. He can't make the playoffs. 39 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: You know why, and I know why. It's not the 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: right tackle or their lack of depth at inside Mike linebacker. 41 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: It's the cheap ownership. I mean, go look at baseball. 42 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: The Yankees have as much annual revenue as the Dodgers. 43 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: Dodgers have better owner. Dodgers have better owners. Excellence in 44 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: every company ive al was worked at every corporation starts 45 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: at the top and it is continually reinforced every day. 46 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: Top down them start at the bottom. I mean, look 47 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: at New York. George Steinbrenner own the Yankees for thirty 48 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: seven years, won seven World Series titles. It wasn't managers. 49 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: He had twenty three different managers if you count hiring 50 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: Billy Martin multiple times. He had multiple gms, he had 51 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: multiple players on the rosters. The only common through line 52 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: was George Steinbrenner. Thirty seven years, seven World Series titles, 53 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: multiple managers, multiple stars, multiple infielders, multiple pitchers, multiple relievers, 54 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: multiple GMS, multiple scouts, one common denominator, George. Since he's 55 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: passed away fifteen years, kids took it over baygall No 56 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: World Series title because they don't have his vision, they 57 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: don't have his courage, and they don't have his passion. 58 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll die on this hill. People don't like owners. 59 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: If he had a rich guys, give me a break 60 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: every year. I talk about this, to be a dynasty. 61 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: You could occasionally get lucky and win a Super Bowl. 62 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: You know, you know, it all works out, you have 63 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: a good roster. But generally, to be a dynasty, great owner, 64 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: great GM, great coach, great quarterback, at least an a 65 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: minus at all of them, it is to do a dynasty. 66 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: So remember when Mike Vrabel got fired by Tennessee, considered 67 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: one of the weirdest, most political ownership groups in the NFL. 68 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee said he didn't smile enough around the building. And 69 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: Vrabel comes back to New England gets hired. Remember what 70 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: he said. 71 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 4: And also want you not to take this organization for granted. 72 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: I've been a lot of places. This is a special 73 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 4: place with great leadership, great fans, great direction, great coaching. 74 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: Enjoy it. It's not like this everywhere, thank you very much. 75 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: It's not like this anywhere. It's the best owner in 76 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: the league. I don't know Robert Kraft, I don't know 77 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: a sun I've never met them. This isn't a favor. 78 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: It's a guy that's been on the air for thirty 79 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: five years and had seven different corporate owners direct correlation. 80 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: I say this all the time that all of us 81 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,119 Speaker 1: make about twelve decisions a day, and I'm not talking 82 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: about what pair of pants to wear, but we all 83 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: make ten to twelve decisions a day that could influence 84 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: somebody else or ourselves, and the better owners make the 85 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: right decision ten to eleven out of twelve times. I mean, 86 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: William Clayford owned the Detroit Lions forever and they were 87 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: a mess. He passes, his wife takes it over and 88 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: then his daughter, and suddenly they're really good all the time. 89 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't buy it. I don't buy that it's a coincidence. 90 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: So you tell me when Belichick doesn't make it, people 91 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: dismiss the fact that I'm like you, guys do realize 92 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: he will make it eventually, and he should make it 93 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: in But he's won forty four and a half percent 94 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of his games without Brady, and you dismiss that. Well, 95 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Robert Kraft won pre Belichick, during Belichick, post Belichick. 96 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: And if you ask me today the next dynasty in 97 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, if I had to put my four oh 98 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: one k on it, I would say Drake May, Mike Rabel, 99 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, Josh McDaniels. You think this was a terrible organization. 100 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: Before Kraft, they were the New Orleans eighths, the Saints. 101 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: They were terrible, they were cheap. Nobody wanted to play 102 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: for him, nobody wanted to scout for him. The next 103 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: year they win ten games. I don't think that's luck. 104 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I don't buying coincidence. So if you're going to be 105 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: outraged that Belichick didn't get in, you may want to 106 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: be a little bothered that Jerry Jones is in and 107 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft isn't. That doesn't bother you at all, A little. 108 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: Does me. 109 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: So Sam Darnold, it's sort of the talk of the 110 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right, he's the odds on favorite to win 111 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: MVP and he had a bite this week. A lot 112 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: of people have a right to be bitter. I don't 113 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: think you ever should be. But you get bad parents, 114 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: you get bad bosses, you get bad breaks, you didn't 115 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: get good genetics, you're sick a lot. Like there's a 116 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be negative, right, like to think 117 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: that you haven't gotten the breaks. Now in pro sports, 118 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: let's just say Sam Donald did not get the best 119 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: opening boss. Todd Bowles was his first boss, and he 120 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: was on the hot seat as head coach. Go ask 121 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams in Chicago what it's like to enter the 122 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: NFL with a coach that's on the hot seat. It unraveled. 123 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: Then he gets Adam Gase. Disaster does not happen. Three 124 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: years of pro bowler. Adam Gase was so bad he 125 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: has yet since he was fired to get a full 126 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: time NFL job, and Sam Donald was never bitter. And 127 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: then he goes to Carolina with Matt Ruhle. That was 128 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: a complete circus. He gets benched at one point that 129 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: in late November, he finally gets the starting job at 130 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: Carolina again, goes four into and then Kyle Shanahan brings 131 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: him on and loves him and tells Kevin O'Connell the 132 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: players loved him, the locker room loved him. He's good 133 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: enough to start. He didn't for us, Brock perty did 134 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: in your life. If you don't get breaks, I understand 135 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: it's easy to play the victim and be passive aggressive. 136 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: Bean Baker Mayfield last week he's still taking shots at people. 137 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers' personality while he was winning was passive aggressive. 138 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold got a disaster with the Jets, a mess 139 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: in Carolina and when he was asked about it, did 140 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: he point fingers? Was he upset? What he's bitter about stuff? No, 141 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: this is what he said. 142 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 5: I was really blessed to be able to get drafted 143 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 5: to the Jets. Obviously, things didn't work out the way 144 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 5: that I wanted to there. And then I went to 145 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 5: you know, the Carolina Panthers, where I made a lot 146 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 5: of great friends, and then went to San Francisco. You know, 147 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 5: was able to be a backup there and for a 148 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: great player in Brock perty learn under you know, a 149 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: great coach and Kyle Shanahan, Brian Greesie, the Kubiaks obviously, 150 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 5: and then I went to Minnesota and again I was 151 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 5: with some really great coaches, some really great players as well. 152 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you stumble in life, your personality and how 153 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: you handle it will dictate how many other great opportunities 154 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: you receive. And Darnold is totally respected throughout this league, 155 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: not just because of the quality of play the last 156 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: couple of years, but because of the quality of the 157 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: human being. He had every reason to be better. I mean, 158 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: Adam Gase has not had a full time job since 159 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: the Jets. Zero Pro bowlers went into the league in 160 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: a hot seat, chaotic ownership. Then he goes to Carolina. 161 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: He could have just said, man, I got my first 162 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: round money, I'm gonna go sell insurance. I'm going to 163 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: go start a band in Oceanside, California. Head down, humble, grateful. 164 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: That's why the league is rooting for him. When you 165 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: see a guy that's talented, like a Jay Cutler and 166 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: he suddenly out of the league or Cam Newton, and 167 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: I got nothing against Jay Cutler, Cam Newton, but they 168 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: didn't get extra multiple opportunities to reinvent themselves. That's on them, 169 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: not the rest of the league. Darnld just kept getting 170 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: phone calls, come on in, We're interested. And there was 171 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: no reason after the Jets in Carolina to be impressed. 172 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, the league's quarterback whisper, said, now I hear 173 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: good things. Brought him in, then called Kevin O'Connell and 174 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: said he needs to start in this league. This is 175 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: I would build my team around him. And then Minnesota 176 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: let him walk out of the door and their GM 177 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: just got fired. J Mack I got a good night's sleep. 178 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm full of it today. 179 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: I can tell I'm very fired up.

I'm fired up. This is a good show, 183 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: could be a fun one with Brady. 184 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of talk Tom Brady's coming up 185 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: in forty five minutes. There's a lot of talk about 186 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: Yannis and the trade deadline, and there's a few days left. 187 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: Be very careful about trade deadline moves. That's next in 188 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: Eliot's The Hurt. 189 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,359 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 190 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: and Noone Eastern non am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 191 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. 192 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 7: Steve Gotts here.

The NBA regular season is long and can 212 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: be kind of tedious and repetitive. I mean, how many 213 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: three pointers did you watch in last night's games if 214 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: there was any, So the trade deadline gets everybody fired up. 215 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: But even if you get a star like Carmelo Anthony 216 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: to the Knicks, they got swept in the first round 217 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: of the playoffs k d to the Suns. They won 218 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: a playoff series that year and eventually got whacked. They 219 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: mortgaged their future and it was a mess after that. 220 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: So Jannis being traded gets everybody fired up. The Knicks 221 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: are involved, the t Wolves, the Miami Heat, the Warriors. 222 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: So Jannis is hurt again, not going to be back 223 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: until March. So it's just it's this year. It's a 224 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: sunk cost, you're not winning a title because anybody that 225 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: gets him, you have to remember you're getting a guy 226 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: that's coming off an injury again. And Yannis is not 227 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: a plug and play guy like KD. That's not what 228 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: he is. He has a high usage rate, only Luca 229 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: in the entire league. And Yannis is a much better 230 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: defensive player than Luca, but only Luca for a star, 231 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: has a higher usage rate. It's like James Harden. You 232 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: have to build the offense around Luca or James Harden 233 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: or Yannis. He's not an off ball guy. He is defensively, 234 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: He's remarkable defensively, So your entire offense has to be 235 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: built around Yannis. That takes. That takes a camp, that 236 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: takes an off season. So it's like in the NFL, 237 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: you can grab a pass rusher at the trade deadline, 238 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: or Seattle grabbed Rashid Shaheed who's great on special teams 239 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: and kind of a one route receiver, deep threat down 240 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: the sideline. You're not grabbing a quarterback at the trade 241 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: deadline and getting to super bowls. In winning super bowls, 242 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen very often. So that's Yanni's I 243 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: do think the one team that makes sense because remember 244 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: lots of injuries. He's thirty two at some point next season, 245 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: and as big guys get hurt, they don't get hurt 246 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: less as they age. So I don't think he's a 247 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: smart move necessarily for the Heat or the Knicks, because 248 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: I think the Knicks' future is good with or without Yannis, 249 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: and I think Yannis's future is limited, and I think 250 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: the Knicks' offense runs through Jalen Brunson. You would need 251 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: an entire camp minimum to figure out Yannis, who needs 252 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the ball and Brunson. Golden State to me, is interesting 253 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: because they don't have any immediate future. Minnesota is good 254 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: with her without him, The Knicks are good with or 255 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: without him. Golden State's not even remotely interesting without him. 256 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: So are you willing to give up four draft picks 257 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: and your future to bring Yanna's to the Warriors? 258 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 259 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: Because they've I mean, let's be honest about the Warriors. 260 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: They're not interesting now and everything is about Steph Curry's timeline. 261 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: So you've already basically said we don't like young guys, 262 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: we get rid of KAMINGA Wiseman didn't work. Jordan Poole 263 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: we moved out. You have to work with Steph. And 264 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: though Steph needs the ball in his hands, he's not Luca. 265 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: He's also great off the ball. Jalen Brunson needs the ball, 266 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: Luca needs the ball, Yanni's needs the ball. So the 267 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: Knicks to me, is weird. Golden State isn't the Knicks. 268 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: The Knicks can get to the finals this year. My 269 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: guess is Detroit or the Knicks get without Jason Taim 270 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: get to the finals. Warriors may not make the playoffs 271 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: without Yannis. So why not sell your future? You've already 272 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: told us you don't really care about your future in 273 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Golden State because you're willing to give up Kaminga and 274 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: you move off young players. So that's the one that 275 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: makes sense to me. But this idea at the trade deadline, 276 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean KD was the ultimate plug and play guy. 277 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: Phoenix got him, they won a playoff series. That is 278 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: not Jannis. I mean he he has the ball in 279 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: his hands, has to he's not an off ball offensive 280 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: guy cause he's on a shooter. Jmack with the news, 281 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Turn on the news. 282 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: This is the herd Line news. 283 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: All right, super Bowl sixty right around the corner. This Sunday. 284 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 6: Colin and the players took part in Opening Night yesterday 285 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 6: taking questions from the media. Drake May, obviously in year 286 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 6: two with the Patriots, is already getting MVP attention and 287 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 6: broke down with advice Tom Brady gave him ahead of 288 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 6: Super Bowl Week. 289 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 8: I've met Tom a few times and one of the 290 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 8: best things he says, there's no shortcuts to it. There's 291 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 8: no shortcuts to to putting in the work. And now 292 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 8: that the proofs in the pudding and knowing that the 293 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 8: shortcuts that you know that that people take or can 294 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 8: try to, you know, take it's it's not worth it 295 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 8: to get the most out of what you put into it. 296 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 8: And he's been great at that and he actually showed 297 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 8: that throughout his career. 298 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be the advice Tom Brady would give. 299 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, what's the saying. The elevator to success is out 300 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 6: of order. You got to take the stairs, you know. Yeah, 301 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 6: that kind of deal. However, I got a number for you. 302 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 6: That's a little surprising, So, Drake Mays, a young quarterback 303 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 6: under the age of twenty five. Would you know that 304 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 6: Mike McDonald has faced ten quarterbacks under the age of 305 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 6: twenty five in the last two seasons. Their record is 306 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 6: one and nine against Mike McDonald, seven touchdowns, twelve picks, 307 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 6: the one win rock Perty. 308 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 3: That's it. Young quarterbacks struggled and bruggled times. 309 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: Brock Purty came out of college with a lot of start, 310 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: so he was like an older rookie in terms of experience, yump. 311 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 6: So young quarterbacks against McDonald's schemes have struggled. And let's 312 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 6: be real, Drake May's had a brutal postseason. Now, I 313 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 6: know you can one half a weather against Denver, but 314 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 6: I mean if CJ. Stroud isn't throwing the football around 315 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: the field, but he have five turnovers and a half, 316 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 6: Drake May hasn't been great. If you look at some 317 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 6: of the Super Bowl MVP odds, not a lot of 318 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 6: Patriots skill position players are high. Everything is telling you 319 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 6: that the Patriots are going to struggle offensively in the. 320 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: Same Yet I think, well, I think it's an undergame. 321 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a lower score. I think it's twenty 322 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: seven to twenty three. 323 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 6: Or or it's that would hit the over over was 324 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 6: forty twenty twenty, Yeah that I would want. 325 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: I think it's a very low scoring game because I 326 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: think New England's defense is underrated. 327 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 6: And sometimes these young quarterbacks gets to the Super Bowl 328 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 6: first time and it ain't an easy go, right, Drake, 329 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 6: they might get back here. He's got a good coach, 330 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 6: you know, I like Seattle. Tom Brady by the way, 331 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 6: coming up here in forty thirty five minutes something. All right, 332 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 6: let's move on to the New York Giants. John Harbaugh 333 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 6: has himself an offensive coordinator. Colin, it's your guy, Matt Nagy. Yeah, yeah, 334 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 6: Kansas City Chiefs. So see they I mean, he's so 335 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 6: he's so valuable to the franchise. 336 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: They just said, you want to go find a job, 337 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 3: go for it now. They didn't. They didn't fire him. 338 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 6: It was just a parting of ways, and uh, Naggie 339 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 6: hit the open market and he landed with the New 340 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 6: York Giants. So our stat guys came up with the uh, 341 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 6: you don't like him? How did the Chiefs offense do 342 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 6: with Diggy? The last three years? They finished ninth, sixteenth, 343 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 6: and twentieth. 344 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 3: That's with Patrick Mahomes. 345 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 6: I'm a Jets guy, so I go ahead, go ahead, Yeah, 346 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 6: I'm sure you're thrilled. 347 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: Right. 348 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 3: What's his claim to fame? 349 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: He got, he got to the Playoffsky, he got Mitch 350 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Trubisky to the playoffs twice in a division where Aaron Rodgers, 351 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, and Kirk Cousins were all in their prime. Yeah, 352 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: and and what did Trubisky do outside of Matt Maggie. 353 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: So I again, I think it's interesting. It's when you say, 354 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: look at his Kansas City numbers. Some of that is, 355 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is the more Mahomes makes and Mahomes' 356 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: salary kicks in. They don't have a run game in 357 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: Kansas City. That's not his fault. They don't have an 358 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: offensive line you can trust, that is not his fault. 359 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: And he wasn't calling plays. To be fair, Andy Reid 360 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 3: was the guy. 361 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 6: I don't know. 362 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying a lot of guys get second chances 363 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: in this league. Robert Sala in New York, it was 364 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: a mess. He gets a second chance. Matt Dankey got 365 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky to the playoffs twice, and he doesn't get 366 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: a second chance. So he's not even getting a head 367 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: coaching jump here, He's just getting a good coordinator job. 368 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 6: Well, there is pressure because I don't remember hardball being 369 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 6: a medal Arou on the offensive side of the ball. 370 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: I don't think. 371 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 6: No, he's more of like a CEO, right, So there's 372 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 6: gonna be some pressure on him. 373 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: With Jackson Dart here for Naggy to deliver. 374 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 6: And you look at the Giants' numbers since twenty seventeen, 375 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 6: they rank thirty first in wins losses. Look at that record, 376 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 6: thirty first. This is how bad they've been the last 377 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 6: eight years. Points per game, in yards per game, and 378 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 6: then you can see in the small fine print the 379 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 6: only team ranking thirty second all those is the Jets. 380 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: You know it's interesting. So points per game since twenty seventeen, 381 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: nineteen points a game for the Giants. Do you know 382 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: what Bill Belichick's career average of points is without Brady 383 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: Nineteen points a game. So when everybody freaks out about 384 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: Belichick not getting in take Tom out of his career, 385 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: Belichick averages nineteen points. That's atrocious. Robert Kraft, I thought you'd. 386 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: Save that one for Brady here in three minutes. 387 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: No, I just nobody's outraged that Jerry Jones is in 388 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: the Hall. Robert isn't. But I had three days you 389 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: have to fend off. By the way Belichick came within 390 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: like a vote of getting in, didn't he he had 391 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: eleven people vote, know if he had. I think I 392 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: could be wrong on this, but I think he missed 393 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: it by a voter or two. 394 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 3: So we don't. 395 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's interesting, all right, final story, con let's go 396 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 6: to the NBA. 397 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 3: Listen this. 398 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 6: We've been hearing about this for a while. We've been 399 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 6: on this for a minute now. The Lakers are building 400 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 6: around Luca and Austin. Res's clear, and it sounds like, 401 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 6: according to a report from NBA insider Jake Fisher, okay, 402 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 6: that Lebron's time with the Lakers is over. Quote quoting 403 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 6: Jake here, the Lakers are ready to move on from Lebron, 404 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 6: and I think Lebron is ready to move on from 405 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 6: the Lakers as well, adding it's a foregone sentiment in. 406 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: La right now. Now. 407 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 6: My only pushback home is this idea that Lebron is 408 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 6: gonna leave his son Bronni and just bounce to Cleveland. 409 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: Or some Sun's not nice Suns on the team. 410 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: This Sun's not a child. 411 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: His other son plays at Arizona. So are you gonna leave. 412 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 6: The West Coast and just go go go play somewhere else? 413 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: For for one more year for a farewell tour. 414 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think why does Lebron need a 415 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: farewell tour? 416 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: So what do you think he does? 417 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: Just well, let's let's let's talk about this, because I 418 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: think it's the stantial. The new owners of the Lakers, 419 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: they had a piece before they bought them, So they 420 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: bought a small chunk of the Lakers, infused Genie Bus 421 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: and the Bus family with some money, but they never 422 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: looked at the Lakers as an organization. They wanted to 423 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: keep anybody. They got rid of all the Buses, and 424 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: so this year is kind of research development. They're they're 425 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: basically not making any hasty moves, and Lebron and Rich 426 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: Paul they want to know what's going on, and the Lakers' 427 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: owners are not going to give them the answer they want, 428 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: just like pat Riley years ago with Lebron, when Lebron 429 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: wanted Folster fire, Riley came down fifteen minutes later and 430 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: didn't give Lebron and his guys the answer. He won, 431 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: and he always held some some reservoir resentment about that, 432 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: and he left right, which is why would you leave 433 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: like a really good organization like the Miami heat for 434 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: the calves at work. But it's weird, and so Lebron 435 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: his whole career has kind of gotten his way and 436 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: the new Laker owners shouldn't and aren't giving Lebron and 437 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: his camp the answer they want. So the make this 438 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: work is be totally respectful, build a statue, whatever you 439 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: have to do. But we talked about this yesterday. If 440 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: Luca is your star, and he is, and JJ Reddick 441 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: is your coach offensive coach Austin Reeves, you can argue 442 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: for him to be part of this, but you have 443 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: to build a roster stacked with rim protectors and athletic wings. 444 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: Lebron doesn't qualify as both, and he's really expensive and 445 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: he can't play big minutes every game, so it makes 446 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: no sense to keep him or extend him none. I 447 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: can think two things. Lebron's unbelievable. He's been a good 448 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: steward for the league. He's a little thirsty on social 449 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: media whatever, but who isn't. But it makes no sense 450 00:25:53,800 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: on a financial athletic business macro view to retain Lebron. 451 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: It makes no sense for this team. You get for 452 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: his salary, you could go get multiple athletic young wing defenders. 453 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 6: It doesn't make sense to retain him at a fifty 454 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 6: million dollar price tag. However, this is where it gets interesting. 455 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 6: What if Lebron says, I love it here. I want 456 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 6: to stay with my SONO. We've set up camp in 457 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 6: La I've got all these projects. I'll stay here for 458 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 6: twenty million. Is that the kind of number that the 459 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 6: Lakers are like Bill Boom? 460 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 3: There you go. 461 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: No, that is not Lebron's personality. 462 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: Well, that is what we don't know. 463 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 2: Now. 464 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: He historically has wanted to control the chess board. He 465 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 3: know what's coming, that's over. He's out of control, and 466 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 3: that's that's gotta be tough. 467 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: Cous It's just like anything else, you know, when dad 468 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: controls son and then son gets a strong opinion of 469 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: his own. Dad struggles with that. Lebron has literally controlled, 470 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Adam Silver during COVID called Lebron. Remember Kyrie 471 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: Irving is like cam chelsy Year, the bubble irrelevant player, 472 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard. Can he sold this season? Remember that? And 473 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: Lebron came out talked at him Silber and Lebron said, 474 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: we're playing the season. So the commissioner has leaned on 475 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: Lebron and should have when Kyrie Irving's going, you know 476 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: the earth is flat, let's cancel the season, like, stop talking. 477 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: So Lebron's had this control. I am sympathetic for somebody 478 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of run the show forever. Like I'll give 479 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: you an example, Tom Brady less than thirty minutes. When 480 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: Brady was in New England, he didn't run the show. 481 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: Tom acknowledged he took pay cuts. It was Belichick's show. 482 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: Tom was always the good soldier Tom was, and then 483 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: the end of it, after twenty years of it, he's like, 484 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm tired of always being second. Kind of tear like 485 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm tired of it that he goes to Tampa and 486 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: he wins. So Lebron's the opposite. No pay cuts, take 487 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: the most money. I'm the guy, And now you're being 488 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: asked late in your career, bro were you don't make 489 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: sense athletically, you don't make sense financially for the team, 490 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: And I think it's really hard. I think Lebron is 491 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: down playing it. But if you listen to Lebron over 492 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: the last I've talked about this, You and I have 493 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: talked about this the last month to two months. Listen 494 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: to his comments after games. Lebron has shifted down. I 495 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: mean he is now very I'm just doing the best 496 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: I can't. Lebron knows it's over. 497 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: Reality has saying it's set in for it. 498 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: He's not bitter, he's had Heoas says, I'm about basketball. 499 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: I'm I'm being respectful here. Lebron is telling you he 500 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: knows it's over. He's too smart not to know it's over. 501 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 6: So it's interesting because the Cleveland Cavaliers rumors about Lebron 502 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 6: returning next year are still out there. There's a world 503 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 6: where Cavs fans have tucked themselves into a pretzel. We 504 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 6: can get Yannis, we move off mobile, we get Yannis, 505 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 6: we get James Harden, he can take a paycut, braw 506 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 6: and we get Lebron on a pay cut, and we've got. 507 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: This super team. 508 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: It's Cleveland, and I don't I. 509 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 6: Don't see it happening. It's a fun topic. Would Yannis 510 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 6: sign in to play with little old guys the Harden 511 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 6: in the run And there's a lot of stuff out there, Colin, 512 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 6: you and I like Lebron. I think he's averaging twenty 513 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 6: two seven and six or six and five. 514 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: But it's the NBA before the deadline. It's not hard 515 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: to get a good shot. I mean I went to 516 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: watch a Laker game against the Bulls. In the first quarter, 517 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: it was practice. I mean, both teams were shooting like 518 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: fifty seven sixty versus we have twenty in the first half. 519 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just nobody's playing defense. Pre trade deadline. 520 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: I heard Tim Legler a couple of weeks ago said 521 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: he cannot believe the lack of intensity in some of 522 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: these NBA games. I went to one. I mean I 523 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: turned to my wife, I'm like, this is like a practice. 524 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 3: It's a long season. Yeah. 525 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: J Mack with the news, Well that's the news, and 526 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by The Herd Line News. 527 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: The uh you know, Tom Brady, Cam Hayward and Sam 528 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: Darnold's early quarterback whisper Jordan Palmer.

I haven't heard from last 537 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Who's that Crypto bros? 538 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they'll go. Well, they went back to their 539 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 3: fast food jobs. That's what happens with the markets today. 540 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: They were all lecturing us for years, how they were 541 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: going to you know, financial expertise. Crypto bros. And I 542 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: went to out to eat the other night. I said, Hey, 543 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: can I pay in bitcoin? I said no, shocker. So, okay, 544 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: the staff and I have a disagreement. They're trying to 545 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: sell me on something I do not buy it. So 546 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott wants the Cowboys to re sign George Pickens. Okay, 547 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: I think the most overrated player in the NFL, and 548 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: at any one time there's about seven in the league, 549 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: is talented but needy star receiver. So the Seahawks moved 550 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: off DK Metcalf Super Bowl, Kansas City moved off Tyreek 551 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: Hill two Super bowls, Pittsburgh moved off George Pickens made 552 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs with a forty two year old quarterback. New 553 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: England won six Super bowls without Randy Moss, none with him. 554 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: And I like Randy can be a little high maintenance. 555 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco this year went twelve and five. Brandon Aiyuk 556 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: didn't play a snap for the record either to Deebo. 557 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: Deebo went to Washington. They went from great locker room 558 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: to not a great locker room. So I looked up 559 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: this morning, the highest paid wide receiver average in the NFL. 560 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Find me all the playoff wins. Jamar Chase, Ceedee Lamb, 561 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, Terry McLaurin. I always 562 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: love Terry McLaurin. Then he got a big fat contract 563 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: and now I don't love him as much. Aj Brown 564 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: a lot of drama. Brandon, I you Tyreek killed where 565 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: all the playoff wins? So because I and I've said this, 566 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, when des Bryant left, his interceptions went down, 567 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: his passer rating went up, his yards per game went up, 568 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: his completion percentage went up. Because Dak didn't have to babysit. 569 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: I've talked about this privately for a long time. I'm 570 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: not babysitting adult men. And a lot of athletes come 571 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: into the NFL and for whatever reasons, it's often wide receiver. 572 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: You end up having to be a babysitter. And it's like, 573 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but George Pickens, Dak Prescott's made every Cowboy receiver. 574 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: He made a Maria star and Ceedee Lama star. I mean, 575 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: did he not He's made Look George Pickens, everybody careers 576 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: over made him a star. They have a six round pick. 577 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: I think it's his second year in the league. Ryan 578 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: Floornoy for the Cowboys. I thought last year, I'm like, oh, 579 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: this kid's good. Dak's gonna make this kid rich. So 580 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: I I'll die on this one. I do not believe 581 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: receivers make quarterbacks. I think if you have a B 582 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: plus AA minus A plus quarterback, they make the wide receivers. 583 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: For years and years, people left Brady. Where did they go? 584 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: Witness protection program? Where'd all the receivers go to? I 585 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: mean Tom Moss was invisible, goes to New England star 586 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: leaves Tom Randy Moss wasn't less talented before or less 587 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: talented after. Like you receivers or I love JSN. You 588 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: never hear from him. He doesn't demand the ball. He 589 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: and by the way, just because you demand this make 590 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: you a bad person. I don't think I des Bryant 591 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: not a bad person or Brandon Ayuk, but football, this 592 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: is not the NBA. You cannot pander to your star. 593 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean for years, OBJ it was like, oh the 594 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: Giants revolve. BJ's not winning games. He's just a talented kid, 595 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: really talented, just a really talented guy. So I saw that. Here's, 596 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: by the way, Dak Prescott. You know what he's gonna say. 597 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks they like their security blankets. Here's Dak. 598 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 9: I got to make sure that we are complacent with 599 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 9: what we've done on our side of the ball. We've 600 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 9: got to get one of our guys signed and make 601 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 9: sure that we take a big step on offense as well. 602 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 4: You said getting one of your guys signed. 603 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, which at you talking about? 604 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy out here. 605 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 9: I don't have the guy out here that doesn't have 606 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 9: a contract. No matter whichever way that they got to 607 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 9: do it. He's an important piece of this offense, important 608 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 9: piece of what we're trying to do. And so leave 609 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 9: it to those guys. Obviously, if I need to get involved, 610 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 9: I've said it before, I will, but confident and. 611 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,479 Speaker 1: Jerry, yeah, whatever, they're fine Without George Pickings, I think 612 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: the high maintenance, the I need the ball, kind of 613 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: center of attention. Wide receivers. Go look at the highest 614 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: paid receivers in the league. Find me the playoff wins. Quarterback, coach, 615 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: left tackle, great pass rusher, veteran center, interior linebacker that 616 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: can call defensive plays, or interior you know, free safety, 617 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: strong safety. Give me somebody in the middle of the 618 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: field that can kind of direct traffic. You can have 619 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: the expensive wide receiver who's drama creating. Go for it. 620 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: Knock yourself out. So when the Rams won the Super Bowl, 621 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: they've only had one first round pick in the last 622 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: I think it's nine years, and it was Jared Verse. 623 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: They hit on it. But during the parade, the GM 624 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: less snead said, f them picks, and it was funny. 625 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 1: It's made into merch. It's very, very funny. So obviously 626 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: draft picks matter. But the Rams won a Super Bowl 627 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: without those first round picks, right, and so it was 628 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: funny because they won. You can say f them picks 629 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: when you win. You can be cocky. If you're Gordon 630 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: Ramsey or you're Bill Maher and you have a history 631 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: of success and a history of success and you've been relevant. Okay, 632 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean is the GM who just got a job 633 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: promotion with the Bills, And this is he basically used 634 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: the same language. He was interviewed by Ty Dunn, excellent 635 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: journalists who we brought on this show, and he basically said, 636 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: on the Joe Brady hire, f the outside. He's talking 637 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: about the fans. Here, f the fans. It's about the 638 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: right selection for the team. If we win, they'll love it. 639 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: It's the same thing I said when I took Josh Allen. 640 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: Can we stop bringing up that you drafted Josh Allen? 641 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: It was a long time ago. Okay. There was a 642 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: band back in two thousand and three that created the 643 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: song Stacy's It was a huge hit. You don't know 644 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: the band, you know the song. Okay, nobody cares about 645 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: the draft or the GM. They know Josh Allen. So again, 646 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: if you're successful over the course of time, you know 647 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: Bill Parcells Belichick. Kind of that dismissive, snarky, cocky stuff 648 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: I think plays really well. It plays well at a 649 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowl parade where Tom Brady has had a few 650 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: too many Margarita's or less, need to say, an FM picks. 651 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: But the reason he said f the outside is because 652 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: a fan poll said only eight percent of Bills fans. 653 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: These are the people that get up, jump off their van, 654 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: jump on tables before games, that literally snowblow the driveways 655 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: of Bill's player who Bill's players. They will go to 656 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: the stadium on the day before or the day of 657 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: a game to shovel snow. And you're saying, f the fans, 658 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: you're not successful enough to say that if you had 659 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: a couple of trophies, maybe it would land differently. It 660 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: just doesn't land well. I mean, this is probably the 661 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: most loyal fan base. My wife used to have to 662 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: go to Buffalo a lot. She's like nicest people in 663 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: the country. Buffalo. I wouldn't say if the picks during 664 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl winning parade is funnyf the outside slash 665 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: fans is not funny. It's dismissive, cocky, and stop bringing 666 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: up Josh Allen as your pick. We know you hit 667 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: on it. And this is the same general manager who 668 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: went popular local radio hosts. I think it's wgr legendary 669 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo station came out and questioned their draft and said, 670 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: you didn't get enough wide receivers, and we found at 671 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: the end of this year they probably could have used 672 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: two more wide receivers. This was Brandon Bean's reaction. 673 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 5: You guys were bitching in twenty eighteen about Josh Allen. 674 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: You guys wanted Josh. 675 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 5: Rosen, and now you guys are bitching that we don't 676 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 5: have a receiver. 677 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't get it. 678 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 5: You got to have a show and you gotta have 679 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 5: something to bitch about. 680 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 7: But bitching about wide receiver is one of the dumbest 681 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:23,919 Speaker 7: arguments I've heard. 682 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: It actually landed for the hosts at the end of 683 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: the year. They were going to Brandon Cooks was their 684 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: go to guy. They didn't have a perimeter wide receiver. 685 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: So and whenever I hear I get you guys have 686 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: to have a show. Well, the Bills also have to 687 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: have a GM, and you're it. But to me, f 688 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: the outside is basically saying, f the fans. You may 689 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: have the best fan base in the country. These people 690 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: grab shovels and go the stadium like I wouldn't be 691 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: shocked if Terry Pegoula doesn't demand that Brandon being offer 692 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: an apology. I think this is really bad and I 693 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: got I don't know him, I don't care. I've got 694 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: six or seven GMS. I talked to. He's known as 695 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 1: a good cap guy. But f the outside, the outside 696 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 1: is snowing and your fans have shovels clearing the stadium. 697 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: That doesn't play to me at all. And I, by 698 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: the way, I like a little cocky. I love Parcels, 699 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: and I I love you know. Greg Popovich in his 700 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: prime was tough on reporters and Gordon Ramsey and Bill Maher. 701 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: I can take snark. I'm okay with it. Got to 702 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: have a couple of trophies. You can't be the organization 703 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: in the league that we look at and go, why 704 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: don't they have a trophy? That GM can't be snarky, 705 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: Just me Tom Brady, Top of the Hour, the guy 706 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: that's never snarky. So I'm still on this thing outrage 707 00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: that Belichick doesn't get in. Nobody cares that Kraft doesn't. 708 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't, You're not bothered. 709 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 3: I'm unbothered. 710 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 6: Correct, what is craft done to get in the Hall? 711 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 6: Like owners getting in the Hall of Famous tough. You 712 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 6: can be like, well, they have all these championships. 713 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 3: Well how did they get them? Belichick? 714 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: Brady? Who hires them? 715 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 6: The owner who well, technically I guess the GM could 716 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,479 Speaker 6: hire the coach raft. 717 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 3: They don't like each other, You know that, right, Craft 718 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 3: and Belichick. It was an ugly ending. 719 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but but but Belichick's won pre Bill, post Bill, 720 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: during Bill. You just don't think. I mean, you're a 721 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: you're a co owner of a soccer team. Do you 722 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: think you have influence over the coach, the roster, of 723 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: the morale and the direction. Not as much as I'd like, 724 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 1: But it's fun to be part of the discuss when 725 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: you say not as much as I like. What you're 726 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 1: telling me is you do think you have the ability 727 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: to change direction, morale, revenue. Owners matter. You may hate them, 728 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: but they matter. Four
