I'm a coach. 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 4: And like I always say, I don't yell at my 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 4: nine and ten year olds. I I strongly suggest things 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 4: to them during the course of basket and that's where 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 4: we're starting our first segment today. So I coached my 37 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: ten year old son on three basketball teams. I coach 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: him on his school basketball team, I coach him on 39 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 4: his wreck basketball team, and I coach I assistant coach 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 4: on his travel team Paul Georgia. 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: Leie and so I'm in it. 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: And over the years, the current park we play at 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: now North Weddington, over the years, we started this journey 44 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: three years ago. He had just turned eight and they 45 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: came in and I was new to the park and 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 4: we put a good team together. We end up winning 47 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: the championship, the rec League championship, and they asked me, 48 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: they said, hey, you have a unique in a dynamic 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 4: coaching style. The kids really seem to respond to you, 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 4: because in rec basketball, it's not like AAU it's anybody 51 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 4: can just ten dollars, everybody can play. You got kids 52 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: who played for four years. We've got kids this is 53 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: the first time they ever ever stepping on the basketball court. 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 4: So as a rec league coach, you've got to be 55 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 4: able to put a team together. You don't have a 56 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: team of eight players who can dribble and get their 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: own shot and know what a pick and roll is. 58 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 4: And I enjoy that aspect of the game because I 59 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: get to teach kids the game that I love, the 60 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: game that I played. And so on this journey, we 61 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: win the first year and they asked me to be 62 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: the All Star coach. Now, the All Star coach is 63 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: responsible for compiling all of the dynamic kids in the 64 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 4: league that the coaches have voted for to be on 65 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: the All Star team. And I take those kids up 66 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 4: and we practiced together and then we enter the Valley Tournament. 67 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 4: The Valley we're in the Valley Region, so the Valley 68 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: Regional All Star Tournament, and that first year, we made 69 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: it all the way to the championship and we lost 70 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 4: a heartbreaker by four or six points like that, and 71 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 4: I was like, wow, that was crazy. I was amazing. 72 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: And so the director of the park, Danica, she says 73 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: to me, hey, that was phenomenal. We haven't been to 74 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: the championship in seven years and your first time out. 75 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 4: I mean, you guys went and almost had that game. 76 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: Would you mind coming over and being a part of 77 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: our program. I'm like, of course, my son is there, 78 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: I'm in his life. Yes, yes, yeah, we're doing this together. 79 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: This is the same thing that happens in March Madness. 80 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: By the way, it's like Handy Enfield the Florida Atlantic. Right, 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 4: what was that? Do you want to get a promotion? 82 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 4: Come over here do It's the same thing. Yeah, right, 83 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 4: whatever that is. And so I was like, of course 84 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: I'll be on this journey. And the next year we 85 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: won the championship again, and we're going the Summer Championship. 86 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 4: During the regular seasons, I coached the All Star Game. 87 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 4: We got knocked out earlier than expected. We got knocked 88 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: out in the first round of the tournament, which was heartbreaking. 89 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: We did the summer season. 90 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: We won the championship again this past summer when ten 91 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 4: and oh, my son was the MVP of the league, 92 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 4: in defensive Player of the league, the whole nine yards. 93 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 4: So I felt, Okay, he's a tremendous player. I mean, 94 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: he's grown leaps and bounds. I'm going to now let 95 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 4: him go on this basketball journey on his own. 96 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 3: Uh huh. 97 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: So I was going to step out of it, let 98 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: someone else coach him and see how it goes, because 99 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 4: I didn't want the line between father and coach to 100 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: be blurred. Sure, if I'm telling him to sit down 101 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 4: on defense, it is like I'm telling him to clean 102 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 4: his room or did he do his homework? 103 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: Oh man? 104 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: I think like very relatable, very much telling that the 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: kids will respond. They get to an age where they 106 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: respond differently if someone else's. 107 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, yes, So I'm like, okay, maybe it's time. Right, 108 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: he's pretty good in basketball. We've worked on his game. 109 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 4: Maybe someone else can take him the rest of the way. 110 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: So the summer goes by and Winter gets to school, 111 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 4: We go back to school, Winter starts. 112 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: Up and. 113 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 4: They call and say, hey, coach E are you going 114 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: to coach this season. I said, no, I'm a step back. 115 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: I'm a step back. Is Lijah playing, Yeah, he's playing, 116 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: let him go. He's he's still ten, right, we've been 117 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: We've been playing minors, which is nine and ten, since 118 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: he was eight, and so I'm like, no, no, he's playing. 119 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: And that was that. 120 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: Then they called me a couple of weeks later and 121 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: they was like, hey, we really want you to coach, 122 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm good. I think it's important for 123 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: our relationship to be good outside of basketball. 124 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: And my son came to me and said, hey, we. 125 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: Had a goal of winning a banner, which means if 126 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 4: you win the All Star Valley Region, you get a 127 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: banner and they put it up in the gym and 128 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: it's up there forever now. To give you context, no 129 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: miners team nineteen year olds has won a banner since 130 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: two thousand and three. That banner is up there, and 131 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: no team has put a banner up in the parks 132 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: in two thousand and six. That's a majors team that's ten, eleven, 133 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: and twelve year olds, so roughly twenty plus years, nineteen 134 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: years whatever it is, no one has gotten a banner. 135 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: We came close, but we didn't get one, and he's said, 136 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 4: my dream is to get a banner, and get a banner, 137 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 4: which you was a coach, and I said, I said, 138 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: I said, what are you doing to the kid? He 139 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: was like, that's what we almost did our first year. 140 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 4: We came close. I'm a better player because of you, 141 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: and I want to do this last time with you. 142 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: And I'm like, who are you ten year old? 143 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: That's like a puppy jumping into your lap, Like I 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: mean you're. 145 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: Gonna say yes. 146 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, God, there's nothing you can do there, there's 147 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: nothing you could do. 148 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: So right on the heels of that, they called me 149 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: back from the park and they are on the phone 150 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 4: for me, with me for an hour, and I said, 151 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 4: all right, look, I'll do it. I'll do a minors team. 152 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: And they were like, okay, cool. So we go through 153 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: the season and I told them I don't care anything 154 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: about the regular season. I care about the All Stars. 155 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: That's the goal. So we had the number one seed 156 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 4: in the regular season. It is what it is, and 157 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 4: an All Star comes along and I put together. Remember 158 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 4: early in the story, I told you the coaches submit 159 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: their their players that they thought would I said, throw 160 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 4: all those away all season. All I had been doing 161 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 4: was scouting skint and I actually picked the All Star 162 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: team prior to the season even being over, which never happens. 163 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 4: And what I was doing was I was taking those 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: eight players that I picked, and I was I was 165 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: practicing with them while we were still in the season. 166 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 4: So essentially I was making players that I had to 167 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: play against better, which I didn't care right, because I 168 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 4: needed them to be up to speed because usually the 169 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 4: season is over, you get one practice and right in 170 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: the All Stars you're like. 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: An actual NBA player, Just who cares about the regular season?

Yes, yes, 178 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 4: you got a low group and then you got to 179 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: play the group and then you come out of the 180 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 4: gate and then you get into the actual one and 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: done tournament.

Is it sixteen? It's sixteen sixteen? Okay, 186 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: we got sixteen teams and now it's the knockout State 187 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: Hop bracket, lower bracket. Okay, eight and eight whatever, that 188 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: is all right, and we're going. 189 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 4: And we're we're playing the first game, we win. 190 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: Okay, now you're in the round of eight, right.

You 491 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 3: can't just be the only team that's out there scoring 492 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: fifteen runs every night and everyone else is scoring two. 493 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 6: It's kind of like when people started to say, we 494 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 6: don't care how much our pitchers have in velocity or 495 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 6: if it blows their arm out in a few years, 496 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 6: go ahead, throw as hard as you can, right, you 497 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 6: could have two Tommy John Surgeries. Who cares? By the way, 498 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 6: the Yankees in the game yesterday, we're facing a former 499 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 6: teammate of theirs, Nestor Cortez. First pitch of the game, 500 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 6: he allows a home run at Yankee Stadium.

Three pitches, it's three nothing. He later allowed 504 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 6: another homer in the first As I say, nine home 505 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 6: runs total for the New York team yesterday, Oh. 506 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, four in the first inning. That's quite a thing. 507 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,239 Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.

Anything 771 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 3: else on this Wolves Pistons thing. 772 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,959 Speaker 2: The Wolves have come out firing here in the first 773 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 2: half of the third quarter, and they've now got themselves 774 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: a seven point lead in this game. The Pistons get 775 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 2: a lot of this, man. They're very physical basketball team. 776 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 2: They're playing without their star tonight, have been for a 777 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 2: handful of games now, no kid Cunningham. But and also 778 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 2: Isaiah Stewart. He's only played, he only I shouldn't say 779 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 2: he's only played. 780 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 3: He's out now. He only played seven minutes in this game. 781 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 2: But if the NBA has a version of what hockey 782 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 2: uses right in an enforcer, Isaiah Stewart, that's that's my man. 783 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 3: That's that's what he does. Yeah. 784 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 4: But every NBA team used to have one of them, 785 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 4: They used to but used to come with that. 786 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 3: They're right not anymore. No, they're just Isaiah Stewart. 787 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 2: And I guess kind of Draymond Green kinda well, but. 788 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 3: I mean he's also like the enforcer is supposed to 789 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 3: be someone who is not in every other aspect of 790 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 3: the game. You're just there to beat somebody up around him. 791 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 2: Perhaps there like Draymond is literally the best defensive player 792 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 2: in the game and exactly, and he's kind of a 793 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 2: point guard and he's the enforcer, so he's a little 794 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 2: bit Isaiah Stewart is just he just there to make 795 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 2: people mad. 796 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 3: That's why he's there. And he did it. He helped. 797 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 2: So anyway, a four point lead from Minnesota right now, 798 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 2: third quarter. We will keep you up to date on that. 799 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm hot to trot on this, especially with the Laker fandom. 800 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 2: I'd love to get your reaction to this. I found 801 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 2: this to be one of the funnier stories of the weekend. 802 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: So apparently there is what is called an internet theory 803 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 2: that had been running around. There's plenty of them, but 804 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 2: with regard to Laker basketball and in the age of 805 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,240 Speaker 2: load management, it started to gather steam on the net 806 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 2: that hey, nobody ever load manages against the Lakers everybody's 807 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 2: ready to play when. 808 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 3: It's the Lakers. 809 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 2: It's not just if it's on TNT, it's if you're 810 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 2: playing the Lakers. So jj Reddick said, we had our 811 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,919 Speaker 2: analytics department. 812 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,720 Speaker 3: Look into it. Oh wow. 813 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 2: They actually did the dive to find out which teams 814 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 2: are being played against the most. And the stat they 815 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: came up with is that eighty six percent of players 816 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 2: in the league they play against the Lakers, or when 817 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 2: you're playing the Lakers, the average is eighty six percent 818 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 2: that your your players play. 819 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 3: And you may say, okay, is that a good number 820 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:54,439 Speaker 3: or a bad number? 821 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 2: What is that? That is by far the highest percentage 822 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 2: in the league by far. So Internet rumor equals fact. 823 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 4: Apparently, So essentially every night you're getting the best you're 824 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 4: getting right from every team. 825 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 2: Yes, which is actually parenthetically kind of funny because when 826 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 2: the Warriors lost the first two games on their road trip, 827 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 2: and for instance Miami and that Jimmy Butler return game 828 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, they hit like seventeen of twenty five three pointers. 829 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: I mean, something just absurd. And typically when that happens 830 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 2: with the Warriors and maybe a few other teams, you 831 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 2: get that line after games and interviews well, we get 832 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 2: everybody's best shot. We get everybody's best shot because with 833 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: the Warriors and Steph Curry and blah blah blah. So 834 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 2: I certainly, even though the Lakers don't have they've got 835 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 2: the more long term championship pedigree, not as recent in 836 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 2: a dynasty as the Warriors. But they're the Lakers, they're 837 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 2: the brand, and so I don't find this terribly. 838 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 3: Surprising, I guess, I guess what's funny to me is 839 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 3: that the Lakers would even spend the time to go 840 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 3: do this, and that in bringing it up publicly, it 841 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 3: also does sound like you're playing a little bit of 842 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 3: a violin for yourself. 843 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: I go, everybody plays against us, and so my question is, 844 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 2: what's the end game here? Why are you searching out 845 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 2: this information and why are you telling us? That's my 846 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 2: question for JJ Reddick and the organization. 847 00:47:53,040 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, I really don't What was the 848 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,839 Speaker 4: point that was being made. 849 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 2: The point that's being made is is that the Lakers 850 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 2: have to go against better rosters than every other team, 851 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 2: and it caught enough steam that the Lakers actually decided 852 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 2: to go look into it and then found maybe some 853 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 2: numbers that support it. 854 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:26,799 Speaker 3: But what's the point. I don't know. I don't know. 855 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 3: I guess I like maybe to complain to the league 856 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 3: or so, I don't know, I don't I don't know 857 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 3: what the endgame is good. 858 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 4: They need to just worry about, you know, putting games 859 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 4: together like they had this past weekend Minnesota. That was 860 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 4: a big game, although they did fire their coach, which 861 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 4: is I guess it is weird to do. 862 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 3: In the they're with nine games left and. 863 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 2: Like right getting ready to go be potentially if they 864 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,280 Speaker 2: win another game or two, getting ready to go host 865 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 2: round one of the playoffs. 866 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 3: That is weird. 867 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's a great segue into what's happening there. 868 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 4: When you make a move like that, it has to 869 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:25,240 Speaker 4: be both your stars are your star, you're not coach 870 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:30,319 Speaker 4: wise on the same page. I don't see them doing that. 871 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 4: If Jaron Jackson Junior and Jah are cool with the. 872 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 2: Coach, probably not. But there was nothing outwardly evident. There 873 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 2: was an argument within the team involving Desmond Bane just 874 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 2: a week ago, so some have sort of pointed to that, 875 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 2: like there was a little shoving match over there on 876 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 2: the sideline with Aldama and Desmond Bane. 877 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,359 Speaker 4: But so it could be that the coach doesn't have 878 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 4: control of the team. I don't know, are the respect 879 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 4: of the team. 880 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 2: This is one of the most unexplained moves of this 881 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 2: nature because it doesn't either have a direct explanation or 882 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 2: sort of an obvious thing that we can all see. 883 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,840 Speaker 2: Because you have a team that's winning the majority of 884 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 2: their basketball games. I know they've struggled of late, but 885 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 2: they've been very hurt. Jaron Jackson missed a period of 886 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 2: time and now John Morant missing a period of time, 887 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,879 Speaker 2: and so not terribly surprising that they've struggled a little bit. 888 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 3: But they're still forty four and thirty. 889 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 2: And then the five seed, and quite frankly, I've thought 890 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 2: for a while that that whole organization has a leadership issue. 891 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean, yeah, yeah, And I 892 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 3: mean that as a coach and the players. It was 893 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 3: just weird timing, right, like. 894 00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 4: The season is coming down to an end, and uh, 895 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 4: you know, speaking of ejections and all of that, uh 896 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 4: was I think Terrence Man just got ejected out of 897 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 4: the Bucks Hawks game, which the Hawks are up in 898 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter by twenty. 899 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 2: I do not have that one crazy Yeah, course, don't 900 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 2: get ejective. 901 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 3: Golden this Golden State game. That one. 902 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,959 Speaker 2: I've watched that one throughout, and I don't like this one. 903 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 2: This was like a twenty point lead before anybody's butt 904 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 2: got warm. 905 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:36,839 Speaker 3: This is a weird deal. 906 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,399 Speaker 2: And the Spurs obviously don't have They've got Chris Paul 907 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 2: and then just a bunch of babies out there. They 908 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 2: don't have any of their good players and and they're 909 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 2: probably tanking at this point. 910 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 3: So this one just got out of hand. The Cooper flag, well, 911 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 3: who is it? Right? Actually? 912 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 2: I hear the Spurs a lot when people start to 913 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 2: do the NBA conspiracy. That would be right, because's coming 914 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 2: back and dearon Fox. 915 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 3: Is coming back like they're all hurt. But if you 916 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 3: want a Big three, how does that sound? To goodness? Gracious? Right? Right? 917 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't. I don't know why people think 918 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 2: like it's interesting. I don't. 919 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:17,240 Speaker 3: I'm not an. 920 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 2: NBA conspiracy theorist, but if I was, I mean, the 921 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: Magic got the first pick in the draft twice, yeah, 922 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 2: after they got Jack, correct, I mean, what was going on? 923 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:34,879 Speaker 2: Why would the just I know the Lebron thing. Right, 924 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 2: there's also Anthony Bennett, like, why why would the league 925 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 2: be like, you know what we need, we need San Antonio, 926 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 2: Texas to really pop. 927 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 3: Why would they do that? 928 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 4: Well after it already popped and they realized how valuable 929 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 4: that franchise was for the overseas market. 930 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 3: Okay, right now, let's deeper than just surface. That's fair 931 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:02,760 Speaker 3: interesting comment. 932 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 4: It literally transformed the overseas market in Argentina and Spain 933 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 4: and France. Where are the NBA now all in all 934 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,839 Speaker 4: of those markets? Yeah, and so at that level, at 935 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 4: championship level, that's exactly what that was. 936 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:26,479 Speaker 3: And so. 937 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 4: You bring in Cooper Flag and partner him with the 938 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 4: Aaron Fox and Victor Women yama ya, goodness gracious. 939 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 2: I mean right now there are one, two, three, four 940 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 2: five teams in the East and two teams in the 941 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 2: West with worst records. 942 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 3: So and look, we didn't even no one had even 943 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 3: heard of Tony Parker. Are janob Blee? Like no one? 944 00:53:59,160 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 3: And so. 945 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 4: You know, good friend of mine was part of that 946 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 4: scouting uh assistant GM over there, Dell Demps, and a 947 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 4: part of that scouting. 948 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 6: Uh. 949 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 4: And that's what he does.

That would 965 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,919 Speaker 3: not be. They don't want him in Washington either. Neither 966 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 3: does he.

What are we doing? 1010 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 2: And here's just the last thing I wanted to say 1011 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 2: about I wanted to run this by you, is the 1012 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:40,840 Speaker 2: concept of the Lakers essentially having a bad break. I 1013 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 2: do think, I know you get this. I do think 1014 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 2: that the organization understands how that concept would land with 1015 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 2: every other human on the planet, the idea that the 1016 00:57:55,360 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 2: Lakers have some sort of an uphill battle when it 1017 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 2: comes to the NBA landscape, it does. I hope that 1018 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 2: I literally, for most of you, I hope I don't 1019 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 2: have to say one more word for you to understand 1020 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 2: the irony with the idea the concept that the Lakers 1021 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,959 Speaker 2: are swimming upstream while Lebron and Luca are on the team, 1022 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 2: and any free agent they want wants to come. And oh, 1023 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 2: by the way, ask anyone who's not a Laker fan, 1024 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 2: and whether they're right or wrong, everyone's got the exact 1025 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,280 Speaker 2: same concept, which is that they get every whistle they 1026 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 2: want and need, doesn't matter how true it is. The 1027 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 2: idea that, like, that's why I didn't understand why the 1028 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 2: Lakers would even go on this fact finding mission. Is 1029 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 2: that what you're going to try to pitch to people 1030 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 2: that life is hard? Word for the Lakers, I. 1031 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 4: Mean, I don't like the condescending way you're what's happening this? 1032 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 3: What are we doing? What are we doing? 1033 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 1: Like? 1034 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 3: Is I mean? Is that the idea that that the 1035 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 3: Toronto Raptors. 1036 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 2: Have it easy, the reason is hard for the Los 1037 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers. 1038 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 4: Listen, then we get everybody's best shot is because the 1039 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 4: world's watching. 1040 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 3: Yes, most of the. 1041 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 4: Games are on prime time, yes, and so guys are 1042 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 4: going to show up and show all of all the 1043 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 4: ladies come out to the. 1044 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 3: Games, like you. 1045 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 4: Everybody's going to be a part of that, right, the kids, 1046 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 4: the families, the single people, they all come to the games. 1047 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a thing. 1048 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 4: That's why they travel around with the most fans in 1049 00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 4: terms of the stadiums. We've heard a pos seeing teams 1050 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 4: scream MVP through the history of the Laker greats when 1051 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 4: they come to town. And so it's a brand. It's 1052 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 4: one of the most recognizable brands in the world. In 1053 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,959 Speaker 4: my opinion, it's the biggest NBA brand. 1054 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 3: Of course it is. 1055 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 4: And so you're going, you're suiting up for that. I'll 1056 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,840 Speaker 4: set out the back to back to play with the Lakers, 1057 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 4: to play, you know, against the Lakers. 1058 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 3: Yes, and that's what that's about. Yes, Yes, of course 1059 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 3: that's what it's about. 1060 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 2: And and and that's what comes with all of the 1061 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 2: baked and advantages that the Lakers enjoy. Yes, okay, I mean, 1062 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're searching for a new motto 1063 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles Lakers basketball. We have to play other 1064 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 2: NBA players, I like, I don't. 1065 01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 3: I just don't. 1066 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 2: I don't don't know why they would even, why would they? 1067 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 2: Why would JJ Reddick talk about. 1068 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 4: That, I don't know, to deflect I don't know. And 1069 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 4: coming off of a win, yeah, a good win. 1070 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 3: To you know, Like, I mean, I know things have 1071 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 3: been a little bumpy lately. I've been bumping very totally. 1072 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 3: You're coming off of a really good win. Bro. 1073 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 2: That game in the Chicago was the craziest thing I've 1074 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. 1075 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 3: But what was that? I was so disappointed. You wouldn't 1076 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 3: talk about nine points in the last twelve seconds for 1077 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 3: the Bulls and I blame holy crap. Well yeah, I 1078 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 3: mean he made a he made a very lazy play. 1079 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 4: I can't make that. You can't be that guy and 1080 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 4: make that play. You can't be can't be that guy? Fuck, 1081 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 4: just like I can't do it? Could I share the 1082 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 4: quickest story about this? 1083 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 3: Of course? 1084 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 2: So I was actually picking my son up from baseball practice, 1085 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 2: and so I wanted to know what was going on 1086 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 2: with the game. I'm I might I had a dollar 1087 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:02,840 Speaker 2: or two on it or something like that, but I 1088 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,760 Speaker 2: wanted so I put up the little like just the 1089 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 2: live internet feed. I wasn't watching it live, and I 1090 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 2: struggled to understand. 1091 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 3: I thought my internet was broken. 1092 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, how the Bulls are down by five points 1093 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 2: with twelve seconds to go, and then the game turned into. 1094 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 3: A slot machine. 1095 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 2: It was like Brooke Brooke and the timeout and I'm like, wait, 1096 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,080 Speaker 2: if that's not possible, you can't score six points in 1097 01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 2: two seconds. And it was like Brook, now the Lakers 1098 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 2: are ahead with only three seconds to go, and I'm like, oh, 1099 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 2: they pulled it out. And then it's just like bang 1100 01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 2: final and another I'm like, how the hell. I couldn't, 1101 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 2: for the life of me figured out how that was 1102 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 2: possible until I went and watched it. And I still 1103 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 2: can't figure out how it's possible. Oh my god. If 1104 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 2: you're cruising around tonight and you've not done yourself the 1105 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 2: favor of watching the last twelve seconds. 1106 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 3: Don't do it. Just let it go do it. You 1107 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 3: don't need to watch that. 1108 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 2: Well, if you're a Laker fan, you don't, but everybody 1109 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 2: else it like just from the sports fandom that you have. 1110 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Go watch the last twelve seconds of Thursday nights Lakers 1111 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 2: Bulls game, and you will want to watch it twelve times. 1112 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 2: You will be in awe of what took place, kind 1113 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: of like how we're in awe whenever Steve Desager joins us, 1114 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 2: We're like, man, how's he do that? 1115 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 6: No, not quite go back to your other point.

Was the final at San Antonio, 1134 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 6: which is not bad considering I think the Spurs are 1135 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 6: suiting up a German Shepherd at point guard these days. 1136 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 6: It was the Blazers at the Knicks. Knicks dominated one 1137 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 6: ten to ninety three, og autoob with twenty eight points 1138 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 6: in this one.

It 1143 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 6: is the Timberwolves in the lead ninety nine to ninety 1144 01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 6: over Detroit with about seven minutes to go. The news 1145 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 6: from the first half of this one. We had Dante 1146 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 6: DiVincenzo and Nasrit and an assistant kicked out for the 1147 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 6: Wolves in a scuffle at the baseline. Isaiah Stewart.

Yeah, and he closed out a game. 1190 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 3: By the way. 1191 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 6: The Dodgers at five and oh off today their only 1192 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 6: Sunday off all season. Typical baseball early season schedules are 1193 01:07:59,120 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 6: just strange. 1194 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, Steve, can you explain that to see? Is it 1195 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 3: about what they're baking in off days because they think 1196 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 3: that it's still going to be bad weather? 1197 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 6: It is, but not in the Dodgers case. That is 1198 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 6: what they bake into general schedules. But I think it's 1199 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 6: because the Dodgers they had them open against an interleague opponent, 1200 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 6: and there's no way they're hosting an interleague opponent for 1201 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,679 Speaker 6: four straight games because they don't play them that often, 1202 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,559 Speaker 6: So they had to have them start on a Thursday 1203 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,840 Speaker 6: because of television, which means the three game series does 1204 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 6: not continue today. 1205 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,759 Speaker 2: Can they not figure out a way to just start 1206 01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,719 Speaker 2: everybody with a three game series so that they could 1207 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,640 Speaker 2: just do it on Friday and have baseball instead of 1208 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:44,440 Speaker 2: all this Like it's really this half the league played Thursday, 1209 01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 2: all of the celebration and everybody out on the field 1210 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 2: and kids miss school, and then you play nine innings 1211 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 2: and do it really fast because it's a pitch clock, 1212 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 2: so get over with in two hours and fifteen minutes, 1213 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 2: and then sit there until the weekend. 1214 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,000 Speaker 6: The thing is, on the last day of the season, 1215 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 6: they have the great idea of staggering everybody either starts 1216 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 6: at the same time, and I've seen other days where 1217 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 6: they stagger the starts, which is kind of what an 1218 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 6: opening day idea should be, you know, instead of pretty 1219 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 6: much everybody starting at Eastern time. Just a thought. I 1220 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 6: think that every weekend every team should always play, and 1221 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,360 Speaker 6: every July fourth, every team should always. 1222 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:26,759 Speaker 3: Always play like hello. 1223 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 2: And then that was the other thing you want to 1224 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,639 Speaker 2: talk about, the ultimate sports slap in the face this week, 1225 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 2: nobody's even thinking about it to the level where I 1226 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 2: Steve helped me. If I'm getting the teams right, I 1227 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 2: think it was the Rockies and the Rays National Opening 1228 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 2: Day Thursday. Get everybody out, but not those two. 1229 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:53,920 Speaker 6: Oh, I see what you're saying. It was like the 1230 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:54,839 Speaker 6: Dodgers off. 1231 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 2: Now here, right, they played Friday, interleague, right, Rockies and 1232 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,799 Speaker 2: Rays did not participate in Opening Day. 1233 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 6: So they had the first game Friday. 1234 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 2: And I don't think it was an accident that it 1235 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 2: was the Rockies. 1236 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 6: And the race the Rays who are playing at a 1237 01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 6: Springs training stadium right, all years we mentioned and they're 1238 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,160 Speaker 6: getting great crowds ten thousand a day, by. 1239 01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 3: The way, huge. 1240 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 2: They should have had the Rays play the A's rock 1241 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:23,120 Speaker 2: and rhymes, yeah in rhymes. Nobody's got a major league stadium. 1242 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 2: Some don't even have a city attached to them. 1243 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 6: I mean, as we mentioned on an earlier show, the 1244 01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 6: A's playing in Sacramento sharing a Triple A stadium for 1245 01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 6: a few years. 1246 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 2: Yes, and they're not the Oakland A's and they're not 1247 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:37,639 Speaker 2: the Sacramento A's. 1248 01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,640 Speaker 6: But I believe they have the Las Vegas patch for 1249 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,559 Speaker 6: advertising they do. They do kind of the half Las 1250 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 6: Vegas as goodness, you can't call them that though, that's right, 1251 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 6: the graphic, it's just a t h right. 1252 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,080 Speaker 2: They are the baseball version of what of what Washington 1253 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 2: did when they decided to get rid of their racist 1254 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,719 Speaker 2: name and they just called them the Washington football team. 1255 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 3: This is the opposite. There's like no city. 1256 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 6: It's kind of like the new Utah NHL team is. 1257 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 6: They haven't had the fan vote to decide the nickname. 1258 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:07,560 Speaker 3: Ye, there you go. 1259 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 6: So they're just Utah Hockey Club. 1260 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 3: There it is, They're the team. There it is. 1261 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 2: Okay, Steve, great, thank you very much. From what do 1262 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 2: you make of all four one seeds making the final four? 1263 01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:25,280 Speaker 4: My honest opinion is this is what nil is doing 1264 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:26,480 Speaker 4: to college basketball. 1265 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,600 Speaker 3: I hear a lot of people say that the true Yeah, okay. 1266 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 4: Tell me, because if you look throughout those rosters of 1267 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 4: those teams, you have the very best from the Sun 1268 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 4: Coast Conference you've got the player of the year from 1269 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 4: the Mountain West, you got the defensive player of the 1270 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 4: year from the Big Sky. They join these clubs because 1271 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 4: they can afford to bring these kids over. And now 1272 01:11:54,840 --> 01:12:00,720 Speaker 4: you're putting teams together with very high level athletes, and 1273 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 4: they're older, they're more mature, they've played a lot of basketball, 1274 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 4: and now they're getting an opportunity which they've never had before, 1275 01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,759 Speaker 4: to play on at school, make a bunch of money, 1276 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 4: but also play on schools that are going to make 1277 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:21,440 Speaker 4: deep runs in the tournament, something they haven't experienced throughout 1278 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:26,839 Speaker 4: their college careers. I mean, why wouldn't you. Lamont Butler 1279 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 4: left San Diego State, went to Kentucky, right, They paid 1280 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 4: him some money. He left San Diego State went to 1281 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,960 Speaker 4: play at Kentucky. And I don't blame him, No, I don't. 1282 01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 4: I don't blame anyone. 1283 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 3: I just wonder if it's that consistent. I know it 1284 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 3: is that consistent. I'm sure that it's going to have 1285 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,599 Speaker 3: an effect, but I'm like, I don't think that all 1286 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,040 Speaker 3: the one seeds are just going to go to the 1287 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 3: final four. No, no, no. 1288 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is it ups there. There are 1289 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 4: no double digit seeds. Right, We're going to see very 1290 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 4: few double digit seeds. And I tell you I remember 1291 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 4: two years ago, Uh, the San Diego State played FAU 1292 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,360 Speaker 4: in the final four. Yes, Lamont Butler hit that shot 1293 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 4: of all shots over Nick Boyd to go to the championship. Yes, 1294 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,760 Speaker 4: Nick Boyd as San Diego. He left FAU and came 1295 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,000 Speaker 4: to San Diego State. Right, But that's what you're getting. 1296 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 4: Like these teams who are playing these schools in the 1297 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 4: tournament the year before, they're like, ooh, we like him. 1298 01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 4: And so when they put their name in the portal 1299 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,559 Speaker 4: the got Kentucky said it. They were like, look, when 1300 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 4: we saw the Mont Butler available, we went to visit him. 1301 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 4: That was our guy. We wanted him. Oh, mid majors 1302 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 4: can't compete with that. They can't compete with that. And 1303 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,960 Speaker 4: so teams are recruiting less and less high school kids. 1304 01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 4: So they doing junior college kids and they're doing transfer 1305 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,720 Speaker 4: portal kids because you get the maturity. You don't have 1306 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 4: a seventeen year old, you get a twenty year old. 1307 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 4: With COVID at some points you get a twenty five 1308 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 4: year old. Right, So if you already have an established 1309 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 4: program with five star talent, and you add someone who's 1310 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 4: been in college three four years playing at a high 1311 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,160 Speaker 4: clip at a mid major, then you have a team 1312 01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 4: that now has a bench that can rival other starters. 1313 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 4: And that's what you're seeing with these number one seeds 1314 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:42,440 Speaker 4: coming in and steamrolling. And gotta remember outside of Arkansas, 1315 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 4: there were no double digit seeds right right. 1316 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,839 Speaker 3: Although Arkansas, man, they had their trips to the elite, 1317 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 3: they had it dead, they had it. They blew it 1318 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 3: nights and they blew it. They absolutely blew it. 1319 01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 2: Okay, one NFL player comes into focus for the next 1320 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 2: thirty hours.

Adam Silver says, the NBA gets criticized more 1337 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 2: than other sports. 1338 01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,200 Speaker 3: We have those comments. We'll get into that a little bit. 1339 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,680 Speaker 2: If we wake up Tuesday morning and Brandon Ayuk is 1340 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 2: still on the Niners, then he's a Niner massive massive 1341 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:15,719 Speaker 2: contract stipulation and major bonus that gets paid and locked 1342 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: in on April first, which is Tuesday. So if we 1343 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 2: get to Tuesday, Brandon Ayuk is staying. But do you 1344 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 2: know what I notice here? And I really want your perspective, 1345 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 2: there have been about twenty seven high level reports just 1346 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 2: in the last four days. 1347 01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,000 Speaker 3: Schefter Russini doesn't matter. 1348 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:42,280 Speaker 2: They're all reporting it that Brandon Ayuk's got a big 1349 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 2: stipulation on Tuesday, but there's not expected to be a deal. 1350 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,320 Speaker 2: Why do you keep saying that? Why do you keep 1351 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 2: telling me that something's not going to happen. Somebody is 1352 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 2: trying to get somebody to think some thing. Somebody's trying 1353 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 2: to get somebody to blink. It wouldn't keep coming up. 1354 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 2: It tells me that behind the scenes Niner people and 1355 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:18,280 Speaker 2: reporters are having conversations with regard to Brandon Ayuk or else, 1356 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 2: they would not feel the need to keep telling us 1357 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 2: that nothing's about to happen. I could give you a 1358 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 2: very long list of things that are about to not happen. 1359 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 2: I could do like, I could sit here for the 1360 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:34,439 Speaker 2: next fifty hours and list things that aren't about to happen. 1361 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 2: Why is that relevant? So what do you see there? 1362 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 2: And what would you want to do if you were 1363 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,040 Speaker 2: the Niners? 1364 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:48,240 Speaker 3: I would you know personally. 1365 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 4: At this point, if you're playing on signing brock party, 1366 01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 4: which they are, which they are, then you gotta the 1367 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,680 Speaker 4: damage is already done. You gotta get him somebody to 1368 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:04,680 Speaker 4: throw to throw the ball to. 1369 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,400 Speaker 3: Okay, so now that is that who that is? 1370 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 4: He's not like I don't think so. I didn't think 1371 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 4: so last year before they signed him. 1372 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 3: And even if you like him, he made like the 1373 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 3: word is not gonna be ready till mid season. 1374 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 4: So I would get off of him. I would get 1375 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 4: off of him and draft again, uh, hoping Parasol is 1376 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 4: gonna be ready to go, and. 1377 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 2: Jennings right signed. They signed DeMarcus Robinson from the Rams. 1378 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 4: YEP, good signing, and then just get another young receiver 1379 01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 4: h and bring him along and and and and let 1380 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,760 Speaker 4: that young crew grow together with with brock party. But 1381 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,719 Speaker 4: I would get off that contract with Brandon Nayuk. 1382 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 2: I mean to be honest with you, what it feels 1383 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 2: like to me is that you know, the Niners are 1384 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 2: probably trying to put out the vibe that they're fine 1385 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:21,760 Speaker 2: keeping him, but they don't want to because who out 1386 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 2: there who's going to make a nice offer for a 1387 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,400 Speaker 2: receiver who is hurt and expensive? 1388 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 3: Like would they? Yeah, bad organizations do bad things. 1389 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 2: I mean the Patriots were hot after him last year. 1390 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 2: They just brought in Digs, but more is probably needed 1391 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,719 Speaker 2: there and they're not, like you just mentioned two teams 1392 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 2: that are not in a hurry to be good. 1393 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,600 Speaker 3: So I don't know. What do you think is going 1394 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 3: to happen tomorrow? 1395 01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 4: I think he I think he gets moved. I do 1396 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 4: I think he gets moved for some draft capital. 1397 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 3: Like what are we looking at fifth? 1398 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 4: Round pick, probably a fourth, maybe maybe a fourth, fourth 1399 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:13,960 Speaker 4: and a seventh or something like that. 1400 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 2: What a disaster, dude, What a disaster of a summer 1401 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,519 Speaker 2: last year was for Brenn and Ayuk in the forty 1402 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 2: nine ers, bad vibes, bad publicity, bad contract, bad injury. 1403 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:33,840 Speaker 2: Twelve months later, you're trying to remember last April we 1404 01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,679 Speaker 2: were heading for the draft and there were all kinds 1405 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:36,639 Speaker 2: of rumors about. 1406 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 3: Them moving him. They didn't, and I think they've regretted 1407 01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:46,719 Speaker 3: it ever since. Yeah, it's it's you know, it happens 1408 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 3: like that. Man. 1409 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,360 Speaker 4: They've been able to bounce back by poor decisions. We'll 1410 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:52,840 Speaker 4: see how this one turns out. 1411 01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,800 Speaker 2: Interesting stuff, all right, Mark willard E from Salaam and 1412 01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 2: coming up next, Yeah, Adam Silver says the NBA gets 1413 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 2: more criticism than most. 1414 01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,080 Speaker 3: Let's talk it out. 1415 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 1416 01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 2: Nothing will beat the basketball story that we got off 1417 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:11,559 Speaker 2: of the top of this show. 1418 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 3: Absolutely nothing will beat that. 1419 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 2: And apparently the NBA players know that and they're frustrated 1420 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 2: with that, so they all just decided to punch each other. 1421 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,559 Speaker 3: That's what's going on tonight in the league. 1422 01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:31,559 Speaker 2: Eight from Salaam shared a very cool kids basketball story. 1423 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 2: It's better than anything any of us have seen in 1424 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 2: the NBA this year. NBA players are mad about it, 1425 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:39,679 Speaker 2: so they're punching each other. 1426 01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,400 Speaker 3: A huge fight between the Pistons and the Wolves. 1427 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,639 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks no surprise, we forgot his name earlier, involved 1428 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,479 Speaker 2: in something that took place in Phoenix not too long ago. 1429 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,599 Speaker 2: Although the Rockets blowing out the Suns in their own 1430 01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 2: building in the Sunday evening game, podcasts and live tyrack 1431 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 2: dot com studios. 1432 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:02,840 Speaker 3: Tyrack dot com. 1433 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 2: Will help you get there on matt selection, fast free shipping, 1434 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,719 Speaker 2: fore Roadhasseter protection in over ten thousand recommended installers.

And 1443 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 7: I'm jealous sometimes it seems that in other sports that 1444 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,360 Speaker 7: I'm a fan of, and when I watch the coverage, 1445 01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,720 Speaker 7: particularly around the games, it seems to be more celebratory 1446 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 7: often than it is in the NBA. 1447 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,679 Speaker 3: What do you make of that statement. 1448 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 4: I can tell you why, Adam, And look, I'm a 1449 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 4: diehard NBA fan. 1450 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 3: You know that. 1451 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 4: I try to suggested the NBA after I had retired 1452 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:08,640 Speaker 4: from the NFL. It's because the product is suffering. The 1453 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:15,519 Speaker 4: product is suffering, and so once the product no longer 1454 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 4: resonates with the consumer, then people talk. They talk harshly 1455 01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 4: about it, and other sports endure. Like some people don't 1456 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 4: like the rule changes in the NFL, but by and large, 1457 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 4: the product is still captivating and it's still riveting, and 1458 01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:49,280 Speaker 4: guys are giving everything they have. That's the difference. People 1459 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 4: had their feelings about baseball. The game is too slow, 1460 01:23:54,080 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 4: it's too stuffy, it's too but the product itself, especially 1461 01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 4: now with the Yankees, with the long ball and the pitching, 1462 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 4: the game isn't suffering. With the NBA, it's become a 1463 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 4: completely analytical league, and when you watch the game, there's 1464 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:28,920 Speaker 4: a disconnect now because you can just have outside of 1465 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 4: the stars or the faces of the league, which is 1466 01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:39,200 Speaker 4: about seven to ten really recognizable guys, everybody else is 1467 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 4: just a carbon copy of each other. Meaning outside of 1468 01:24:46,840 --> 01:25:01,080 Speaker 4: Giannis Lebron, Steph Luca Kyrie, Anthony Day, it's. 1469 01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:05,760 Speaker 3: Who else M. 1470 01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:13,880 Speaker 4: Tatum I would put not forget yo right outside of 1471 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 4: those eight to ten players, everyone else is spot up 1472 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,720 Speaker 4: three point shooters, whether you can do it or not. 1473 01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 4: And that's not attractive and it's not sustainable in terms 1474 01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:36,640 Speaker 4: of watching. There's no defense being played, and there's no 1475 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:42,240 Speaker 4: mid range. There barely any dunks. There's no real action 1476 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 4: going on, and so people don't want to watch a 1477 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 4: team shoot sixty threes. That takes away the actual nuance 1478 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 4: of a basketball game. So analytics, analytics has made the 1479 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:07,599 Speaker 4: two point shot obsolete. So it's now on a fast break, 1480 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:12,759 Speaker 4: which you would usually see a dunk or ali oop, 1481 01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 4: you got guys running to the corner to shoot wide 1482 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:23,280 Speaker 4: open threes and miss on a fast break. That's stupid 1483 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 4: to people, and so's it'll. 1484 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 3: Turn you off. 1485 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, and so people are hyper critical of it because 1486 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:36,720 Speaker 4: in any given game, on any given night, you can 1487 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 4: watch that happen outside of tuning in for those ten 1488 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,759 Speaker 4: stars that are playing in the game. 1489 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. There's two pieces to this. 1490 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,040 Speaker 2: There's the premise, which it sounds like you buy, which 1491 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 2: is that the NBA does receive more criticism than other leagues. 1492 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 2: I'm not even like I was tripped up even on 1493 01:26:56,160 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 2: on that, Like, do I buy that? Does the NBA 1494 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 2: actually get more criticism than other leagues? 1495 01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 3: And the reason I say yes is because I do 1496 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 3: that to the ABA. 1497 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you care about it much more so within criticism, 1498 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,160 Speaker 2: there's care Like that'd be the first thing I say 1499 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,680 Speaker 2: to Adam Silver or Baseball right now is suffering from indifference, 1500 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 2: and I would much rather have criticism than indifference. You know, 1501 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,679 Speaker 2: I hear college football and the way they finish things 1502 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,800 Speaker 2: that gets a lot of criticism. Does the NFL get 1503 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 2: a lot of criticism? Not for the sport itself. It 1504 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:33,160 Speaker 2: gets criticized sort of for the way that it financially 1505 01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,720 Speaker 2: goes after things sometimes, but the game itself is unbelievable. 1506 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 2: You package everything into Sunday and then strategically place things 1507 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,960 Speaker 2: on nights throughout the week, and everything feels like an 1508 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 2: event and everything is just everything is there for the 1509 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 2: fan consumption. 1510 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,679 Speaker 3: I get stuck on one thing. Now. You talked about the. 1511 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 2: Actual way they're playing the game. I think there's something 1512 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 2: to be said for that. I agree with you, But 1513 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,599 Speaker 2: I think there is a bigger issue that if we 1514 01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:11,559 Speaker 2: buy the premise the NBA gets more criticism than other leagues, 1515 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,080 Speaker 2: then I'm going to focus mainly on one thing that 1516 01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,040 Speaker 2: the NBA has a problem with that I don't know 1517 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 2: of any other sport that has this same problem. Whether 1518 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 2: you mean to or not. Fans look at the NBA, 1519 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,880 Speaker 2: and you and I have talked about this. You're bombarded 1520 01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 2: by one constant concept, and that. 1521 01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:41,639 Speaker 3: Is we don't care. 1522 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:50,679 Speaker 2: We don't care, we don't even want to play. There 1523 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 2: is a number one thing in the world of entertainment 1524 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,679 Speaker 2: that you never want to tell your audience, and it's 1525 01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:58,040 Speaker 2: that we don't want to be here. 1526 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 3: True. If you and I say on the light we 1527 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 3: didn't want to be here, good God, what a stupid show. 1528 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:10,640 Speaker 3: What a stupid show. And there is no commitment in 1529 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:11,360 Speaker 3: the world. 1530 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:15,679 Speaker 2: I know people who are married who are less committed 1531 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:20,320 Speaker 2: to their marriage than these teams are to the management 1532 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:27,880 Speaker 2: of their stars' bodies. The Western Conference right now flip 1533 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 2: flops all over the place in the standings. On a 1534 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:35,280 Speaker 2: nightly basis, there literally couldn't be more on the line 1535 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,120 Speaker 2: with every game, and on a Sunday when the Warriors, 1536 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:45,240 Speaker 2: Wolves and Clippers all had action, and everybody knew if 1537 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,800 Speaker 2: you win a game, you are one step closer to 1538 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,400 Speaker 2: the six seed and an automatic. 1539 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 3: Berth in the playoffs. 1540 01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:55,960 Speaker 2: But if you lose a game, you are for sure, 1541 01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 2: at least momentarily going to fall into that play in 1542 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:03,400 Speaker 2: tournament with nine games to go. And Kawhi Leonard looked 1543 01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,800 Speaker 2: at all of that, and the Clippers looked at all 1544 01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 2: that and went, yeah, I know we're playing the number one. 1545 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:20,760 Speaker 3: Seed in the East. I'm out why Well, management of 1546 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 3: Kawhi noss. 1547 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:27,720 Speaker 2: It's literally a part of his package now as an entertainer. 1548 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,320 Speaker 2: I will play maybe two out of every three games 1549 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:38,000 Speaker 2: if we're lucky. That's what's on Kawhi's basketball card. And 1550 01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 2: E I don't see that in any other sport. Baseball. 1551 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,840 Speaker 2: At one hundred and sixty two games, dudes are gonna 1552 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:46,960 Speaker 2: be getting days off. 1553 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 3: Right. 1554 01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 2: It's a righty versus a lefty. It's a catcher on 1555 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:51,840 Speaker 2: a day game after a night game. There's things that 1556 01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:54,880 Speaker 2: are baked in, but I don't get the sense that 1557 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 2: they don't care. And in football, give me a break. 1558 01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:06,320 Speaker 2: The whole idea is not even a thing. Everybody wants it, 1559 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:13,839 Speaker 2: so badly hockey kidding me. Everybody wants it so badly, 1560 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:19,840 Speaker 2: But in the NBA, that's what we get. And so 1561 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,240 Speaker 2: that's what I would say to Adam. I don't know 1562 01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 2: what you want people to say. When the message is 1563 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 2: is you'd rather not be here. 1564 01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:35,280 Speaker 4: That's exactly what it feels like. And you know this 1565 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:44,479 Speaker 4: is something that Look, he's trying to rectify it, but 1566 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 4: the NBA is a player driven league. 1567 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:55,360 Speaker 3: It's a player driven league, and this is. 1568 01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 4: Where we are right now. It's a less physical league 1569 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,920 Speaker 4: than it used to be. It's more of a European 1570 01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 4: style of basketball, more European stars, and so you know, 1571 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,479 Speaker 4: you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Yeah, 1572 01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 4: it's expanding globally, but at what cost in terms of 1573 01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:28,919 Speaker 4: the style of basketball. You can go a whole sports 1574 01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:33,799 Speaker 4: center Top ten every night and not have one NBA dunk. 1575 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,679 Speaker 4: No one watches the Dunk Contest or the All Star 1576 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 4: which used to be the prize for the NBA, right 1577 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,320 Speaker 4: no one even cares or watches it. And so now 1578 01:32:53,360 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, there is a problem. Are getting criticized 1579 01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,240 Speaker 4: because the product is not the same. The product is 1580 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:11,080 Speaker 4: not resonating with the consumer. So people are going to 1581 01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:17,280 Speaker 4: speak out and speak out often. Now it gets a 1582 01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:21,200 Speaker 4: little better in the playoffs because there's actually something at 1583 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:26,880 Speaker 4: stake and the game is slowed down in terms of 1584 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:35,720 Speaker 4: there's practice, there's adjustments being made, all of those things. 1585 01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:39,519 Speaker 4: Every game counts, but in the season of eighty two games, 1586 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 4: where you know you can, they try to put in 1587 01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:46,280 Speaker 4: the rules of if you don't play a certain amount 1588 01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:48,240 Speaker 4: of games, you can't be all NBA. You can't be 1589 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 4: which affects your money. They're doing all of these things 1590 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 4: that get guys who are making fifty sixty million dollars 1591 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:56,479 Speaker 4: a year to just. 1592 01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:58,679 Speaker 3: Play the play the game, to do their jobs. 1593 01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:02,560 Speaker 4: And if you're doing that, if you're if you're reactionary 1594 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,599 Speaker 4: as a league, then you've already lost. 1595 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 3: Yep, yep, you've already lost. It's a great point, you know. 1596 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,639 Speaker 2: I I don't come at this conversation on any sort 1597 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 2: of a high horse. 1598 01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:16,839 Speaker 3: It's analytics. So yes, it's been proven. 1599 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:19,439 Speaker 2: I understand that if your name's Lebron or Steph and 1600 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 2: you're north of thirty six years old or north of forty, yeah, 1601 01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 2: it helps. It helps to be smart and weave your 1602 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 2: way to the end and be healthy at the end, 1603 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:34,080 Speaker 2: because that's that's what matters. I totally get it. But 1604 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 2: there's there's a fallout, there's I don't I don't know 1605 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:42,040 Speaker 2: what the solution is. I just know that in entertainment 1606 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 2: you can't tell your audience we'd rather not play. 1607 01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:51,679 Speaker 3: It is a real sticky conundrum right now. 1608 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, when your stars are rolling their eyes and and 1609 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:59,559 Speaker 4: doing like that's a problem. Right when the faces of 1610 01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:04,599 Speaker 4: your lea you know, care more about wine on the 1611 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:06,759 Speaker 4: sideline and. 1612 01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 2: You know, and speaking of wine, they also you have 1613 01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:13,360 Speaker 2: faces of the league apparently now attacking media members because 1614 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:16,320 Speaker 2: they don't want to be criticized, and they don't want 1615 01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:18,800 Speaker 2: other players in the league to be criticized because you're 1616 01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 2: related to them. I mean, for the life of me, 1617 01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:26,760 Speaker 2: this whole thing that that that's gotten going between uh, 1618 01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:30,880 Speaker 2: it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. 1619 01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:32,400 Speaker 3: And and the. 1620 01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 2: Fact that he has somehow got half of the country 1621 01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 2: believing this is about him being challenged as a father 1622 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 2: is just bananas. 1623 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:47,600 Speaker 3: Kids got a Laker jersey, fair game, end of conversation. 1624 01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,960 Speaker 3: Move on. So yeah, man, it's it's it's wild and 1625 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 3: it's a rough spot. 1626 01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:56,559 Speaker 2: And so they want to.

Hey, 1668 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:22,599 Speaker 2: what's your stance on the tush push? 1669 01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:29,519 Speaker 4: It's I think it's dangerous number one, But it's part 1670 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:30,360 Speaker 4: of the game. 1671 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,840 Speaker 3: That didn't have to be. Yeah, but I mean other 1672 01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:40,519 Speaker 3: teams could also do it, right, but you also could 1673 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:41,880 Speaker 3: ban it. 1674 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:46,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, but why that's like banning the quarterback sneak? Are 1675 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 4: banning the two point conversion? 1676 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:56,000 Speaker 3: Are banning? Right? A flea flicker or banning what's the point? 1677 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 3: I think I can answer that humor me if you will. 1678 01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:01,639 Speaker 3: You just. 1679 01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:07,200 Speaker 2: Threw out a bunch of things there, most of which 1680 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:18,519 Speaker 2: are either entertaining flea flicker for example, or much more 1681 01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:25,120 Speaker 2: intuitive in terms of the flow of the game. I 1682 01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:27,680 Speaker 2: think I could answer your question with something that if 1683 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:33,000 Speaker 2: you just remove fairness from your mind, and I'll explain 1684 01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,720 Speaker 2: why it's okay to do that, remove fairness from your 1685 01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 2: mind and just go here. Why remove it? Because people 1686 01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 2: don't like it? That's it, and that's all I need. 1687 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:50,160 Speaker 2: People don't like it. People don't like it when quarterbacks 1688 01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,719 Speaker 2: get hurt. That's why you're not allowed to touch them anymore. 1689 01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 3: Who doesn't like it? 1690 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,519 Speaker 2: The league and the fans. They don't want the stars 1691 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:00,639 Speaker 2: of the league you get hurt. 1692 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,519 Speaker 3: No, I'm saying, who doesn't like to touch push people? 1693 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:08,920 Speaker 2: Worst of all, almost all of the teams except are 1694 01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:12,800 Speaker 2: the ones that use it right And secondly, almost all 1695 01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:16,720 Speaker 2: of the fans I know, like people don't. 1696 01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:17,639 Speaker 3: So they don't like it. 1697 01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:21,879 Speaker 4: This is a way to solve that without banning the play. Okay, 1698 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:26,840 Speaker 4: if you watch the play, the unfair advantage is the 1699 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,479 Speaker 4: people pushing from behind actually lift the player up and 1700 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:35,519 Speaker 4: carry him. Now, there is a way where you don't 1701 01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:39,639 Speaker 4: have to ban that. But if more than one person 1702 01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:44,880 Speaker 4: at the line of scrimmage is engaged in lifting or 1703 01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 4: pushing a player to give them an unfair advantage, then 1704 01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:55,800 Speaker 4: it's a penalty. See how I broke that down right 1705 01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:58,560 Speaker 4: there and still left room for interpretation. 1706 01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 3: Sure, but then that's how you do that. 1707 01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:04,519 Speaker 2: Okay, except for I don't know if people want the 1708 01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,000 Speaker 2: officials to have room for interpretation. 1709 01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:09,240 Speaker 4: Well you can see it though if you have I 1710 01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:13,639 Speaker 4: mean literally, Jalen Hurst is just standing there and they're 1711 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:17,160 Speaker 4: picking his body up off the ground, right and and 1712 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:18,440 Speaker 4: kind of crowdsurfing. 1713 01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,160 Speaker 2: But I could I can see holding too. It doesn't 1714 01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:22,880 Speaker 2: mean it gets called accurately every time. 1715 01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but just listen. 1716 01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:29,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, with that in place, you'll have less and less 1717 01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:33,760 Speaker 4: of that, and also it will alter the way you 1718 01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 4: actually do it. So would it be as effective with 1719 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:41,599 Speaker 4: the new guidelines and new rules. Probably not? And that 1720 01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:45,040 Speaker 4: is the point. Now, would you risk doing it getting 1721 01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:48,519 Speaker 4: a penalty? Now, see if you do something like five 1722 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,440 Speaker 4: yard penalty and a loss of down. 1723 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not right, probably. 1724 01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:58,519 Speaker 4: So now the the you know, the reward doesn't outweigh 1725 01:41:58,560 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 4: the penalty. 1726 01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you do that. 1727 01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:03,920 Speaker 4: What I would just want you can't do it if 1728 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 4: you put rules and guidelines in right, like yeah, but. 1729 01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,439 Speaker 2: Then it gets like again, that's kind of what we've 1730 01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:13,360 Speaker 2: been doing for the last ten years about what. 1731 01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:17,280 Speaker 3: Is a catch all? The only one team does it? 1732 01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:18,759 Speaker 3: I understand. 1733 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,880 Speaker 4: So you're just putting a rule in for one team. Well, 1734 01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:23,439 Speaker 4: this is not a league wide problem. 1735 01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:26,599 Speaker 2: Augusta National changed its damp course because of one player. 1736 01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:30,760 Speaker 3: Well that's a completely different And the NBA changed all 1737 01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:32,120 Speaker 3: of their rules because of shock. 1738 01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,240 Speaker 2: Like I said, you know what I mean, Like, this 1739 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,839 Speaker 2: is not unprecedented at all. And by the way, whatever 1740 01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:42,800 Speaker 2: you and I sit here and discuss tonight doesn't matter. 1741 01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,360 Speaker 3: I'll sit here predict for you right now. They're gonna 1742 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 3: ban this thing, of course they're gonna be They're gonna 1743 01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:47,840 Speaker 3: ban it. 1744 01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:53,000 Speaker 4: But you saw what was it Siriani. Yeah, you said, 1745 01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:57,680 Speaker 4: he named off the he named all the coaches. 1746 01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:01,080 Speaker 2: He said, Gannon, Kellen Moore, and Shane Steich and our 1747 01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:05,599 Speaker 2: head coaches because of that play. Yes, So I better 1748 01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,840 Speaker 2: have those three votes right there, and the Eagles vote, 1749 01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:10,360 Speaker 2: So we've got four. 1750 01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:14,479 Speaker 3: And that's us. Right, What do you need? I don't 1751 01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:16,640 Speaker 3: even know, Like, I don't even know. 1752 01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:19,080 Speaker 2: The Competition Committee is at it right now, and the 1753 01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:22,720 Speaker 2: report after the initial discussion today is that the proposal 1754 01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:26,160 Speaker 2: to ban the toush push has support within the committee. 1755 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,679 Speaker 4: Of course, there's a bunch of coaches saying, well that's 1756 01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 4: not fair, Well why don't you do it? But if 1757 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,440 Speaker 4: you do put the guidelines in, at least it changes 1758 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:41,240 Speaker 4: the way you do it, and it also allows other 1759 01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 4: teams to, you know, feel like they have a shot. 1760 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,439 Speaker 2: Look, you know what, I don't want to push.

There's also a live 1808 01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:35,639 Speaker 6: golf event in late April in Mexico City. Looking ahead 1809 01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,880 Speaker 6: to the PGA Tour schedule, we've got one more event 1810 01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 6: before the Masters Texas opened San Antonio this coming week, 1811 01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:46,799 Speaker 6: and then things start at Augusta officially on April the tenth. 1812 01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:49,960 Speaker 6: But the winner of this event today has a sister 1813 01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 6: who's an LPCHA player, MINJ Lee, who won the US 1814 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 6: Women's Open in twenty twenty two. This guy, Min Wu Lee, 1815 01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,920 Speaker 6: from Australia takes home a winner's check of one point 1816 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:04,920 Speaker 6: seven million dollars, first time he's won on the PGA Tour. 1817 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 6: He kind of earned this one. Yes, he had a 1818 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:10,800 Speaker 6: bigger lead to start the day and held on, but 1819 01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:14,479 Speaker 6: it was a one stroke advantage over Scotty Scheffler, who 1820 01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:17,080 Speaker 6: took it for second place. The number one ranked golfer 1821 01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 6: in the world. Scheffler earns a check of nearly eight 1822 01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,559 Speaker 6: hundred fifty thousand, and number two ranked Rory McElroy tied 1823 01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:27,639 Speaker 6: for fifth, getting a check of about three hundred forty thousand. 1824 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,080 Speaker 6: Lee finished twenty under par for the week. That sets 1825 01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:35,200 Speaker 6: a Houston Open scoring record in relation to par. But 1826 01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:38,559 Speaker 6: I must mention somebody shot US sixty two today in 1827 01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:41,600 Speaker 6: the final round and it's Gary Woodland that matched the 1828 01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:45,240 Speaker 6: course record. But that's not his story. He said, it 1829 01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,840 Speaker 6: was just great to get those juices flowing again. You see, 1830 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:50,400 Speaker 6: a year and a half ago, Gary Woodland had brain 1831 01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:54,720 Speaker 6: surgery to remove part of allsion. He'd had these terrifying 1832 01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,400 Speaker 6: symptoms going on for months, shaky hands, included not good 1833 01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:03,400 Speaker 6: for a golfer, loss of appetite, chills, anxiety, fear it 1834 01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,679 Speaker 6: just wasn't going away. Nightmares that he was dying would 1835 01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:09,880 Speaker 6: jolt him awake. He said, it was a horrible experience. 1836 01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:12,040 Speaker 6: All you wanted to do was go to sleep, not 1837 01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:14,840 Speaker 6: think about it, and going to sleep was the worst part. 1838 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,400 Speaker 6: That's where the seizures were happening. It was a horrible 1839 01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:20,000 Speaker 6: four to five months. He said this about a year 1840 01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,040 Speaker 6: and a half ago. He did return to the PGA Tour. 1841 01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:25,439 Speaker 6: Last year, it did not go well. He missed the 1842 01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:28,639 Speaker 6: cut eleven times compared to one top ten finish. 1843 01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:29,559 Speaker 3: This year. 1844 01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,160 Speaker 6: He'd missed the cut three of his last four starts. 1845 01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:35,599 Speaker 6: This weekend, he made the cut. He had the eight 1846 01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:39,960 Speaker 6: under sixty two, matching the course record to finish things today, 1847 01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:45,000 Speaker 6: and he tied Scottie Scheffler for second place. He also 1848 01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,880 Speaker 6: gets a check of nearly eight hundred fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, 1849 01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:49,479 Speaker 6: back to you. 1850 01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:51,599 Speaker 3: I love it and I love you. 1851 01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,800 Speaker 2: Laying out the lib schedule, which sounds a lot like 1852 01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:56,280 Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard's schedule. 1853 01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:58,599 Speaker 3: There's a tournament. 1854 01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:02,559 Speaker 2: There's a tournament that laid April, and then I think 1855 01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:04,360 Speaker 2: they gather again in June. 1856 01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:05,320 Speaker 3: They might have a. 1857 01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:09,720 Speaker 2: Banquet or something what like I can't not did I 1858 01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:11,120 Speaker 2: even want to anymore? 1859 01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:13,439 Speaker 3: But I can't even follow how that thing works. 1860 01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:16,519 Speaker 6: It's less frequent than the Indy Car Series quite honestly. 1861 01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:21,639 Speaker 6: There is one Lift golf event in May in South Korea, 1862 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,000 Speaker 6: and then June's gonna be kind of like April or 1863 01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 6: early weekend in the month and a late weekend in 1864 01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:26,559 Speaker 6: the morning. 1865 01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:28,519 Speaker 3: Man, they make so much money, they get time off. 1866 01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:34,719 Speaker 2: Seriously, they honestly, they sound it sounds like my parents 1867 01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:38,639 Speaker 2: grocery store schedule.

But that's not what happened here. 1882 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:27,559 Speaker 2: Luckily, he started to lean over and then he was 1883 01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:31,640 Speaker 2: grabbing the front of the leg, not the back. And 1884 01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,960 Speaker 2: when you look at the highlight, he's driving the lane 1885 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:39,520 Speaker 2: and comes down right on a rocket's a rocket defender's 1886 01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,200 Speaker 2: foot and the ankle goes hard. 1887 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,280 Speaker 3: The ankle goes hard.

And why why is this scored? 1892 01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:02,280 Speaker 3: Like what is happen in ninety two to fifty seven? 1893 01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:04,599 Speaker 3: The Sun's luck. 1894 01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:09,680 Speaker 2: I happen to have have I have some people in 1895 01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:15,759 Speaker 2: that organization, and like, maybe I'm not breaking any news 1896 01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:18,120 Speaker 2: if you follow the Suns or what's going on with 1897 01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:23,240 Speaker 2: that team with these three incredibly high MAC salary talented 1898 01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:27,479 Speaker 2: players yet they struggled to win a basketball game. My goodness, 1899 01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,280 Speaker 2: they made a poor, poor choice with their head coach. 1900 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:36,639 Speaker 2: Good lord that, Like, I know, it's hard to pull 1901 01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:41,840 Speaker 2: the ripcord when you just started, but the Budenholzer thing 1902 01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:44,960 Speaker 2: is a disaster. 1903 01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:46,639 Speaker 3: In Phoenix. 1904 01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:51,479 Speaker 2: And you know, all eyes on that team in the 1905 01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:55,720 Speaker 2: offseason because I remember telling you last offseason this isn't 1906 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,240 Speaker 2: gonna work. The salary structure doesn't work. Got to trade 1907 01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,240 Speaker 2: one of those people offseason. 1908 01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:02,080 Speaker 3: And they didn't do it. 1909 01:52:02,080 --> 01:52:04,640 Speaker 2: Instead, they held a press conference telling Kevin Durant how 1910 01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:06,559 Speaker 2: he was the greatest thing that's ever happened to anyone, 1911 01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,559 Speaker 2: and then come to trade deadline, they try to trade 1912 01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:14,120 Speaker 2: him without telling him and then he says no, so 1913 01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:16,800 Speaker 2: the other team backs out and then they just try 1914 01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:20,599 Speaker 2: to go back to war after trying to trade him, 1915 01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:25,840 Speaker 2: and so everybody is just completely on a different page there. 1916 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:27,759 Speaker 3: And now they. 1917 01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:30,240 Speaker 2: Super duper duper have to trade someone in the off 1918 01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:34,760 Speaker 2: season and everybody knows it, so that means value is 1919 01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:38,680 Speaker 2: going to go down. And then add this in. I 1920 01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:41,320 Speaker 2: hope it's not a terrible injury. But now now Kevin 1921 01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:44,559 Speaker 2: Durant needed help to the locker room. 1922 01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:50,519 Speaker 3: That's not good. Wow, crazy man crazy. They're down by 1923 01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:53,000 Speaker 3: thirty two halfway through the third quarter in their own building. 1924 01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:58,000 Speaker 3: Move They're just time to move.

He is, He's a starter. 1961 01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:30,680 Speaker 2: The Vikings meantime, are like, we picked a quarterback with 1962 01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:33,600 Speaker 2: an early first round pick, so we're gonna. 1963 01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:43,560 Speaker 3: Use him maybe but maybe not. Did I leave anyone out? Oh? 1964 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:47,000 Speaker 2: And then just like the Niners haven't signed their guy yet. 1965 01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:53,040 Speaker 2: And then there's others, you know, the Raiders, the Offs, 1966 01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:56,680 Speaker 2: like they did their thing, which is like, feels like 1967 01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:00,600 Speaker 2: she just made all these weird out and decision. 1968 01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1969 01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:04,440 Speaker 2: I mentioned like that that that like hundreds of millions 1970 01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:09,720 Speaker 2: for someone who's not gonna play out of nowhere. Dac 1971 01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:13,000 Speaker 2: Prescott trade rumors came up over the weekend. Don't think 1972 01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:20,240 Speaker 2: I believe that. Yeah, it's weird. 1973 01:56:22,200 --> 01:56:31,200 Speaker 3: I can't. I can't get a beat on this. It's it's. 1974 01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:38,200 Speaker 4: One of those heads scratching off seasons where you don't 1975 01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:46,200 Speaker 4: have a strong quarterback draft, so people are scrambling trying 1976 01:56:46,200 --> 01:56:50,360 Speaker 4: to gobble up known commodities. Yeah, in a way that 1977 01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:52,960 Speaker 4: may or may not make sense, just to have something. 1978 01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:55,920 Speaker 4: And on the flip side of that, we're gonna stand 1979 01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 4: pat We're just gonna wait this thing out right. 1980 01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:02,840 Speaker 2: I'm the Steelers have got to be in the most 1981 01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:07,400 Speaker 2: uncomfortable position of all of them. I feel like, I mean, 1982 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:10,240 Speaker 2: this is the Pittsburgh flipping Steelers. This might be one 1983 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,480 Speaker 2: of the biggest, baddest fan bases in all of sports. 1984 01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:17,400 Speaker 3: And they're looking at him, They're like, what do you 1985 01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:18,040 Speaker 3: guys want to do? 1986 01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:20,720 Speaker 2: Do you want to do no quarterback or forty year 1987 01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:23,040 Speaker 2: old proven downhill quarterback? 1988 01:57:23,440 --> 01:57:25,560 Speaker 3: Which do you want both? 1989 01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:32,440 Speaker 2: Okay, like what do we what could potentially go right 1990 01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:34,080 Speaker 2: for the Steelers the rest of the way. 1991 01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:39,480 Speaker 3: I don't even know what the options are you have 1992 01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:41,480 Speaker 3: to sell hope in sports man. 1993 01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:43,720 Speaker 4: I'm happy for DK to get the money, but I'm 1994 01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:45,920 Speaker 4: not happy for him not knowing who's going to be doing. 1995 01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:52,680 Speaker 2: In the ball seriously, seriously, And and Aaron Rodgers, that's like, 1996 01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:53,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that's not it. 1997 01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:59,520 Speaker 3: That that cannot be it. No, that's not the answer. 1998 01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:04,320 Speaker 4: So it wasn't the answer for green Bay at the end, 1999 01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,960 Speaker 4: and definitely wasn't the answer for the Jets. 2000 01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and guess what, They'll go ten and seven and 2001 01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:20,160 Speaker 2: get a wild card and get beaten. 2002 01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:22,320 Speaker 3: Yep. In said wildcard. 2003 01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:28,920 Speaker 2: Yep, yep. That's almost like the downside to the fact 2004 01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:32,320 Speaker 2: that Mike Tomlin always kind of gathers something out of 2005 01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:33,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what. 2006 01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:37,440 Speaker 3: You're also never going to get a draft pick, right, 2007 01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:38,880 Speaker 3: so you. 2008 01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:43,480 Speaker 2: Can't when like the Steelers have been paper machining their 2009 01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:48,000 Speaker 2: quarterback position for what feels like a really long time, 2010 01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:53,640 Speaker 2: yet they keep making the playoffs and therefore they're never 2011 01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,800 Speaker 2: in position to actually go do something. 2012 01:58:55,920 --> 01:59:02,640 Speaker 3: Is the definition of purgatory. It's got to wear out 2013 01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:05,200 Speaker 3: people at some point. 2014 01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta wear people out at some point. Seemingly 2015 01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:10,360 Speaker 2: it hasn't yet. 2016 01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:14,920 Speaker 3: Just good enough to not be good, but good enough 2017 01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:19,160 Speaker 3: to not get better. That team was ten and three 2018 01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:24,880 Speaker 3: last year and then they never won another game, and 2019 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:26,240 Speaker 3: then the Wills fell off. 2020 01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:40,280 Speaker 2: Yet ten wins, playoffs, no draft pick, Rinse, I'm happy 2021 01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,280 Speaker 2: for you, friend, that that's a that's a hell of 2022 01:59:42,320 --> 01:59:45,880 Speaker 2: a And again for those who who didn't join us 2023 01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,200 Speaker 2: off the top of the show, what. 2024 01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:52,040 Speaker 3: A hell of a week for you and your son.
