1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Wednesday,

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: March sixteen. There we go, ladies and gentlemen, one day

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: to the tournament. I'm sorry, I do not count the

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: play in games as official tournament games. And by the way,

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: a hearty welcome to all the new podcast listeners. Apparently

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: the podcast has been making the rounds because we've had

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: some good guests on the college basketball front. So welcome

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: to all the new listeners. I do love me some

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: March madness. Obviously, we do a lot of gambling in

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: these waters. I did hit Indiana cashing barely on Tuesday night.

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: My gosh, Indiana is not a smart basketball team, but

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: they got a stud in Jackson Davis, and I like

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: their point guard a lot. They're they're gonna play St.

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Mary's Thursday. We'll do all the picks for the first

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: round on tomorrow's podcast. I got a lot in the

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: hop right, I'm not gonna give them all out now. Um,

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: I'll give a couple later in the podcast when we

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: wrap up. But a nice win by Indiana. They have

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround. They have to fly to Portland, Uh

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: to face, Who the hell are they playing? St? Mary's Good?

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: Should be a good game in the first round Thursday.

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Um My other two bets just small action plays on

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: the other two games. On the other game, and then

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the total for the Indiana game. They did not hit,

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: but they like again the big win was Indiana. I

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: like the side, I like the Hoosiers. No official play yet.

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: By the end of the podcast, I probably will have

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: one leaning towards Rutgers leaning, and of course who can

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: not bet on Peter Kiss my main man. But a

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: lot of news in sports hotly cow, a lot of

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: action Tuesday. Um, I guess we could start with the NBA.

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, we should start with the NFL, but we're

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna go longer in the NFL. The NBA is just

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a quick segment. No, I don't give a

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: crap that the Lakers got blown out. I mean, I

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: know they rallied, but they were They got blown out

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: on Monday night by the Raptors. We didn't talk about

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: them on yesterday's pod, But who cares the Lakers? I

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know even know why Lebron is playing some of

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: these games. Just save it for the ones you gotta win.

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Get antone Davis back. That's it. Rest Lebron. He's thirty seven.

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: He should not be playing thirty five minutes and crap games.

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: But speaking as somebody, by the way, I forgot to

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: give Carl Anthony Towns a shout out for dropping sixty

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: the other night for the Timberwolves. Um, I do want

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: to mention Kyrie Irving because you guys know I've been

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I used to be for the New Listeners. I used

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: to be a big Kyrie Irving fan. Just I mean,

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: who doesn't love watching Kyrie Irving. The guy gets to

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: the bucket like nobody. Um, he's a great finisher around

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the rim, he's a good scorer. He was Uncle Drew.

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I had Kyrie sneakers. I mean they were comfortable back

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: in the day. I bought a Kyrie jersey because I

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: was a fan. Like listen, Kyrie Irving is a good

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: was a really interesting character and a good basketball player.

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: And then he started getting crazy. I went out of

58
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: here and get me out of here in Cleveland, Like,

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: who the hell leaves Lebron greatest player in NBA history?

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Who does that? Then he goes to Boston jerks around

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens is like, yeah, I'm out of here. I

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: don't want to be around you guys. Convinces Kevin Durant

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: to go to the nets. Then there was the whole

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: bubble fiasco where he tried to squash the bubble, then

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the whole and I'm not going to bash him for this,

66
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated thing. Listen, if that's your bag, you don't

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: want to ge vaccinated, Fine, those were the rules to play.

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Now the rules should be loosened up given where we

69
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: are with vaccination rates and damn virus fading fast. Um,

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: so I might say it's totally gone. Um masks out

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: finally in school have been dropped, which is it's crazy

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: it took this long, but it's just Kyrie has been

73
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: in a weird place for a couple of years now. Um.

74
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: I've heard theories. Some I think it was was it Cuffs,

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: the legend who came on here and floated that it

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: was a woman who kind of got in his head.

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Who I'm not going to mention her name. I don't

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: even remember it, but he had a relationship with her,

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: he got they broke up. It was ugly. She learning

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: some other guy. I don't know, Kyrie Irving out weird

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: at some point that's confirmed and this season is better

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: tough one for him. But I will say this, I'm

83
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: a behind the stunts that Kyrie Irving is pulling. Did

84
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: you see what he did at the game over the weekend?

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: I can't play because where the game was, Right shows up.

86
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I think it was like the middle of the first

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: quarter or they after it well after the game had started,

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: so everybody saw him come in, gets to attend the game, right,

89
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have to wear a mask, but can't play in

90
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: the game because of the vaccine mandate. Folks, I get it,

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: you know I got the vaccination. I'm not one of

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: those anti vacs weirdos. This is lunacy. Considering where we

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: are now, this is stupid. So what does Kyrie do?

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: He makes a show of it by showing up. Everybody

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: sees him and like, oh my gosh, how was he

96
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: not playing? What is part of the news cycle Monday?

97
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: This vaccine mandate is stupid. So the pressure builds on

98
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: the folks in New York A politically, this is dumb.

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: You look like a buffoon. What does Kyrie Irving do

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the next time out? Tuesday night forty one in the

101
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: first half against the Orlando Magic finishes with sixty points

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: this morning. Kyrie Irving is a bigger story than those

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: two n ci A Tournament games than anything else in

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the NBA. Just a big NFL stuff that will not

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: make Kyrie the lead, the lead story. But Kyrie Irving

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: is making himself a story, and I think he's hoping

107
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: that enough pressure will build that they dropped this vaccine mandate.

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: Of course, the other the alternative is possible that these

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: idiotic politicians and they're all crooks. I don't care which

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: side you're on. They all suck. I don't like any politicians.

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: They dig their heels in and say why not cavn

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: in bleep you o, Kyrie. You know that's that's a possibility.

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear that with Kyrie, the nets of the

114
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: best team, Kyrie, Ben Simmons, Kevin Durant healthy, they went

115
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: in the East. I've told you for a while, I

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: want undisputed. The undisputed. People hated me for saying that

117
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: that's just how it is. All right enough on the NBA,

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: I just defended Kyrie Irving things you'd never think I

119
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: would say. This year. Just done, Kyrie Irving defended, we'll

120
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: come back to the n c A tournament. But I

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: had to touch on this NFL stuff. Free agency is

122
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: just bonkers. I'm not going to start with my Jets,

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: even though they made a couple of good moves in

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: the secondary that I liked. I liked a lot, But

125
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: I gotta start with Baker Mayfield because if you you

126
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: know how you watch games now right, you're watching the game,

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: probably on mute, You're on your phone texting, and then

128
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: maybe you have your computer with you. You're in your

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: office watching multiple games, and you're on social media. Right,

130
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Baker Mayfield plops in I would

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: say out of the blue, but probably wasn't. Given what's

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: happening with the Deshaun Watson rumors, Baker Mayfield with just

133
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: a bizarre I don't know. I don't know if he

134
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: wrote this in his notes pad of his phone or what.

135
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: But he wrote a note to the city of Cleveland

136
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: and dropped it in. Now. Note it's to this city

137
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: of Cleveland. It's not too necessarily to Brown's fans, it's

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: not necessarily to his teammates or the front office. The

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: past four years have been nothing short of truly life

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: changing since I heard my name called in the draft

141
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: to go to Cleveland. This is not a message with

142
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: hidden meaning. Yeah right, give me a break. This is

143
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: strictly to thank the city of Cleveland for embracing my

144
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: family and me. Hold up, hold up, holed up already

145
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like a goodbye letter. Thank you for embracing me.

146
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: We have made many memories and shared growth in this

147
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: process through all the ups and downs. I have no

148
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: clue what happens next? The why are you writing this letter?

149
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Bro? Why would you wait for

150
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: it deficially happen? I'm stunned. I can only control what

151
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: I can, which is trusting in God's plan. Throughout this process.

152
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: I have given this franchise everything I have, and truthfully,

153
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: he probably gave him too much trying to play with

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: the injured shoulder, which really screwed him up. That is

155
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: something I've always done at every stage and at every level,

156
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: and that will not change wherever I take my next snap.

157
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Have you taken your last snap? I mean, does Baker

158
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: know something we don't? Are they definitely getting to Shaun Watson?

159
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Is it? Jimmy Garoppolo? What's happening. It's just stunning. This

160
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: is essentially Baker trying to beat the rush, and you know,

161
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: right his own, um what it's not what's the word

162
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking for? He's not writing his own Cleveland Brown's obituary,

163
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: but he kind of sort of is right. He wants

164
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: to beat the media to it by saying thank you

165
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: and all that craziness, and he just wants to he

166
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's checked out. Now, what if they

167
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: don't get to Shaun Watson? Are they really going all

168
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: in for Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean, he doesn't have a

169
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: cannon arm and you just got a Marie Coop were

170
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: a deep threat. Like those two don't really jive. This

171
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: is pretty stunning. There must be some really ugly things

172
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: happening behind the scenes in Cleveland. Jarvis Landry bounced. The

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: next day, Baker Mayfield drops a letter and he signed

174
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: it sincerely Baker Reagan Mayfield. Like, what's with the middle name?

175
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: Bro dude? I didn't even know that was his middle name.

176
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: But it's just just a stunning turn of events for

177
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, who two years ago led the Browns to

178
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They gotta win, I know it was a

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: running game in the offensive line. I get it, but

180
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Baker wants some games for them. He was instrumental. I

181
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: specifically remember a Cincinnati comeback. Baker Mayfield had a nice

182
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: year two years ago, and I don't know if him

183
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: not getting paid in the off season upset him. He

184
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: did not come out of the gate strong. He got

185
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the injury and it was all downhill from there. And

186
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: on some level, you feel a little bit bad for Baker.

187
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: But I know, I know instantly people are gonna say, dude,

188
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: he led the league in commercials. He's the most self

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: promotional dude ever. Jason. Remember when he blocked you on

190
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: social media. He's out there liking tweets all this stuff,

191
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Like some of it is childish. I get that, but

192
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you just got to kind of ride your brand, right,

193
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, You've got to kind of just dig in

194
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: and say, listen, this is who I am. I don't

195
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: know that I can change what is it. The Tiger

196
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: doesn't change his stripes. You can't just all of a

197
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: sudden say you know what, Like Baker, remember when he

198
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: said I'm gonna shut down social media a couple of

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: months back. I was like, yeah, good, luck with that Baker.

200
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: That's just that's not really who he is. So unfortunately

201
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: the Browns had to know that's who they were getting

202
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: in bed with, right They're getting a guy who's social

203
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: media heavy, who is getting combative on on the Internet,

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: and that's like part of his brand. It never really

205
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it worked out to an dent because they

206
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: did win a playoff game with him. But here we are,

207
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: before entering year five. He they're looking to get Deshaun Watson,

208
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: which you can't really fault him. Deshaun Watson is a

209
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: top tier quarterback. Baker Mayfield is not. And I'm it's

210
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: just a stunning turn of events for Baker Mayfield. And

211
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: I think I told you guys this. You know he

212
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: had surgery recently. I don't know. This is two months ago,

213
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: a month ago, whatever it was out here in l A.

214
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: And I'm friendly, I'm not revealing too much by the way.

215
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I've got to be careful what I say on the podcast.

216
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'll leave it at that for the

217
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: new listeners. But Baker Mayfield got surgery out here in

218
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: l A. And was staying at a hotel near me

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: and a buddy of mine I played pick up basketball

220
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: with him yesterday. Good good dude, played soccer with him

221
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: before you know you basically runs Baker's marketing team and

222
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: I see him and I'm like, oh, what's up, dude. Yeah,

223
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I was just with Baker. I was like, oh,

224
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was here. Like three minute later,

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield walks by with a third with the shoulder

226
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: in a sling and all that, and kind of we

227
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: made eye contact, and I you know, listen, I get it.

228
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: He's seen me kind of say stuff about him on

229
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: TV that's not positive. But that comes with the territory,

230
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: doesn't it. When you're dominating and you're on top and

231
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: everybody loves you, it's cool, it's great, it's fun, and

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: when you're not dominating, you're kind of going to get

233
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: the opposite treatment. Right, well, this guy's not playing good now.

234
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: I know that does kind of work into the whole

235
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: build up tear down thing, which I kind of hate.

236
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: The media loves to hype people up on the way up,

237
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: and when they're coming down, man, do they come after him.

238
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: It's it's harsh. I try not to be that guy,

239
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: but listen, when you're a quarterback and you play well,

240
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: that's great. And when you're a quarterback and you don't

241
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: play well, well, it's not great. So you kind of

242
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: gotta call it like you see it, right, So listen.

243
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: I have no nothing against Baker Mayfield. I love the

244
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: underdog mentality. I think of myself as an underdog, a

245
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: career underdog. Come on, come on, guys, I'm a brown

246
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: guy who gets paid to talk about sports on TV, podcast, radio, internet,

247
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: didn't play pro sports, didn't play college sports. Love it,

248
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: study the hell out of it, have networked my butt

249
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: off from the jump. I just it doesn't feel like

250
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: work when I have to text multiple people, Hey, what

251
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: are you thinking about this Deshaun Watson thing? Hey where

252
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: do you think this guy goes? You know, like, it

253
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't feel like work. I just like it. I'm

254
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: into it, and it just hasn't felt like a job

255
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: for me for twenty years. I don't know how much

256
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: that's helped or hurt me, but I just I feel

257
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: hashtag blessed and I'm now I'm on a soapbox and

258
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: I sound like a douche. But um, let's move on

259
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield, who it sounds like he's on his

260
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: way out now. Deshaun Watson. The latest as of early

261
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: this morning, Deshaun Watson potentially to the Saints. I just

262
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: refused to buy at Apparently the Falcons are trying to

263
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: get a seat at the table. You know. It's like

264
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: all these guys wanna take this girl to the prom,

265
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: and guys are lining up. I've got to ask her,

266
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, I got i gotta get there first, you know.

267
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: And I just I don't see how the Falcons are

268
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: remotely attractive for Deshaun Watson other than the potential regional fit. Like,

269
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: that's not a team other than Kyle Pitts that Deshaun

270
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Watson go to and win. Now you could play the

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: whole will look at the division and look at our coats.

272
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Look what I did for Ryan Tannehill, you know, And

273
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: now I'm out here in Atlanta. I just need a quarterback.

274
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's too old. I think the dead Cat money

275
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm Matt Ryan is. I think I saw like thirty

276
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: something million dollars, which is insane. Um. I just don't

277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: know why Atlanta would be that attractive compared to, oh,

278
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, Philadelphia. How are the Eagles not getting

279
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: mentioned the Colts apparently, I think the cultimate all of

280
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Siense in the world, but in the division apparently they

281
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: got down by Houston. The culture like, sorry, we're just

282
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: not dealing with you. I mean, I don't know if

283
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: they could come with like five number one picks, is

284
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: that too much? I mean, the Rams have proven we'll

285
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: give up number one picks. We got a couple of stars,

286
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: will be fine, all right, we can roll. I just

287
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you know five picks is gonna it's

288
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna matter when you gotta then see Deshaun Watson twice

289
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: a year, that's probably gonna make a hill of beans, right, Like,

290
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is not going to be a five win

291
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're not gonna be getting top ten picks.

292
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: That's why I think the Eagles again three picks in

293
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: this draft. Now none are top five, but their top

294
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty two I think, and there are three, so you'll

295
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: instantly start to come up. You can you can uh

296
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: fortify the lines like the Texas in a ton of players,

297
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: they got nothing. So apparently it's the Saints, it's Carolina,

298
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: and it's Cleveland. I refuse to believe the Eagles are done.

299
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: And just remember how this works, guys, As one who

300
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: has covered the media been in the media, when everybody's

301
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: on the scent of some trade or potential free agent signing,

302
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: it almost never happens. Almost never. Usually it's the mystery

303
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: team that's working behind the scenes quietly while there's a

304
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: lot of misdirection, and this mystery team swoops in. I

305
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: think the Eagles are one I had. I had mentioned

306
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: the Browns and people were like, come on, there's no chance.

307
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: Now the Browns are in it, So I'll cross them

308
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: off the mystery list. But if you ask me other

309
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: than those three that are out there, I'm sorry, guys.

310
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: I have to say the Miami Dolphins remain firmly in

311
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: the mix for Deshaun Watson. Now that's a team with

312
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: the tax benefits of living in Miami in a division

313
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: that's you know, Josh Allen is there. I get that.

314
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: But Miami has a really good young receiver and Waddle.

315
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins have something. They were a nine

316
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: win team. I know they fired Flores. May not be

317
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: as attractive for Watson, but that's a team. But again,

318
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: it's a f C, and obviously the NFC is where

319
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: if you're Houston, you ideally want to get your quarterback.

320
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is he built for New York? Maybe maybe

321
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: a little bit too much. Um, they have the pics

322
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Brian Dable offensive mind, I don't hate it. If he's

323
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: instantly the best quarterback in the in the division, I

324
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: don't think. I think we're far from over on Deshaun Watson,

325
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: far from over. So we covered Baker, we covered Deshaun Watson,

326
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: and now we got to wrap up the NFL with

327
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: this Tom Brady story. Fox Sports Radio has the best

Speaker 1: I was texting with Rob. He doesn't remember, but I

333
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: put out a tweet super Bowl week. You know you're

334
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: out and about going hanging out here and stuff. Craziest

335
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl roomor recently retired quarterback buying a steak in

336
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: a former division rival owner needs a good news pop

337
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: gets it. So recently retired quarterback Tom Brady buying a

338
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: stake in a former division rival Miami Dolphins owner needs

339
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: a good news pop. You don't need me to tell

340
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: you what happened with Ross and Flores in the lawsuit,

341
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: Ben So, I put that on in February twelve, Ben

342
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Vallin v O l I N I don't want to

343
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: butcher his name, so I won't even try. Of the

344
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Boston Globe, We're not one of those radio stations and said, listen,

345
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: the plan was for Tom Brady to go to Miami

346
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: and be in the front office and his head coach

347
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: was going to be Sean Payton. That was the plan,

348
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: and then the Brian Flores stuff hit. Obviously Peyton ain't

349
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: going there a lot of negativity. What is Tom Brady? Like?

350
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa hold up? I don't know about this because

351
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: if your Brady, you know, you'd be getting back at

352
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: Kraft Folk Show, no doubt about it. You'd be facing

353
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Belichick twice. You you kind of love that. But did

354
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: he want that drama with the Flores stuff, because you know,

355
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: Flores is probably gonna win it something in court and

356
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: dolphins are gonna get docks some stuff. Maybe it's just

357
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: too toxic for Tom So. According to this writer for

358
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: The Globe, Brady and that was in early February, Brady

359
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: this past week, as we told you, went to the

360
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Christiano Ronaldo game, and it just so happens that the

361
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Glazers owned that team. The Glaziers, of course own the Bucks.

362
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: So according to this writer, the theory is, Brady now

363
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: kind of pretty much rebuffed by this, by this Dolphins

364
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: opportunity due to the lawsuit, and the craziness, decides, well,

365
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: wait a second, why am I retiring? I I don't

366
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: have anything to do. I'm not going to the Miami

367
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: front office. What am I gonna Maybe I'll go back

368
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: to Tampa. And according to this writer, his theory is

369
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: Brady went to this game the Glazers, he sat in

370
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: the owner box, talked it over and said, listen, yeah,

371
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: things were not going well with me and me and arians.

372
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta hash it out, and I'm gonna

373
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: need your help. We'll remember Tom Brady had Craft's ear

374
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: in New England. Who was it that forced Belichick to

375
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: trade Jimmy Garoppolo. According to all the reports, Tom Brady

376
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: went to Craft after Garoppolo was drafted, said I'm not

377
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm not done. What do you do when Belichick wants

378
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: this got to replace? We get him the hell out

379
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: of here, and Kraft went to Belichick it said trade

380
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: him in. Belichick was pissed, so he gave him for

381
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: pennies to San Franz. I think he got like a

382
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: second round pick for it. That's the that's the report

383
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: of Belichick and Brady having some beef, Brady going over

384
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: his head to the owner and getting his way. Are

385
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: we seeing the same thing play out now in Tampa?

386
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: Brady kind of annoyed with Arian says I'm gonna retire.

387
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: I'll go hang with my family. I thought he had

388
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: a backup plan. It falls through. Next thing, you know,

389
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Brady says, shucks, let me go to the owner, goes

390
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: over the coach's head, goes to the owner, says, yo,

391
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: you gotta fix this. I'll come back. What do you

392
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: think he's gonna say, blame Gabbert? Jamis Winston like, there's

393
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: no options. Hell yeah, they're taking Brady. You know much money.

394
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: The value of the franchise went up when Tom Brady

395
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: came there for a year and brought you guys a

396
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl chip. You know how many more TV games

397
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: you get with Tom Brady than blame Gabbert? Playoff games?

398
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: Stady impact people come to see Brady. They ain't coming

399
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: to see Gabbert or uh Kyle Trask, and you're not

400
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: getting a quarterback. So Brady said, I'll save your ass.

401
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: You win me. You let me get some tug with Arians,

402
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: control him, and I'll be back. And instantly Tom Brady's back.

403
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: Now that is a fascinating theory. And I got no

404
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: problem with Brady going over his Arian's head if they

405
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: don't get along. Remember Arians, I think within the last

406
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: two weeks said something to the effect of, hey man,

407
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: everybody wants to think Tom Brady came here and want

408
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: us to Super Bowl, but a lot of guys had

409
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: a hand in that Super Bowl. He wanted to specifically

410
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: note that it wasn't all Brady. Let me just remind

411
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: Arians that without Tom Brady, Tampa had made the playoffs.

412
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: I think in a decade, maybe it was nine or

413
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: eleven years something around there. Jamis led the league and

414
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: pick six is they were about a five team. Brady

415
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: comes there, shows up and they win the damn Super Bowl.

416
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know they had a lot of good players.

417
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: It helped the Gronk and four net and a B

418
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: and all that. I get that. It's Tom Brady. Okay, Arians,

419
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to admit that, and you

420
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: know this has to chap. Arians ask big time, big

421
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: time that Brady is coming back. I'm sure he wants

422
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: to win. But Bruce Arians just lost the power struggle

423
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. He thought he won when Brady retired.

424
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: He said, I We'll move on. I like Kyle Trask

425
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot. We just drafted Trask and you know, playing

426
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Gabbert's been in the system for a while. We got options.

427
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's coming back. Oh, I think that's spicy. You

428
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: know this is not Brett Farve annoying because there is

429
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: some you know, Brady is a little cooler obviously than

430
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: far But I'm kind of loving it. Folks. Fox Sports

435
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: with college basketball. I am gonna lay it with Rutgers tonight.

436
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I think their favorite. I gotta go back. Um, I

437
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: those the other matchup is uh is an interesting one.

438
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what in a sect, but I, uh yeah,

439
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go with my Rutgers scarlet ninths. I know

440
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: they stick offensively, but they're they're tenation is defensively. Uh,

441
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: it looks like it's to pick them. I don't know

442
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: who's on Notre Dame. That's it's a bit of a surprise.

443
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a strong Notre Dame team

444
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: at all. I do like Rutger's and I will be

445
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: backing them to win. Let me just see where in

446
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: ken Palm Notre Dame is. The name is a little

447
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: bit higher. Uh, ken Palm has Notre Dame winning. Notre

448
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: Dame better offensive team when they stepped up in class.

449
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Early in the non conference, Notre Dame laws to A

450
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: and m Illinois, Indiana St. Mary's, so they're tested, but

451
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: they just couldn't win any of those games. The last

452
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: time Notre Dame beat a college an n c A

453
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: tournament team, you gotta go back to February sewond against

454
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: Miami and before that, Oh my goodness. Yeah, they're not

455
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: Holy count North Carolina January five. Though in the calendar year,

456
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has two wins over n c A tournament teams. Yeah,

457
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: give me Rutgers um tonight. Now if you guys don't

458
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: know who this Peter Kiss fellow is. You're gonna like him.

459
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: If you like cocky dudes who shoot, talk, trash, ken dunk,

460
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: I love to show boat. Peter Kiss is your guy.

461
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: He's I think the leading score in the country playing

462
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: for Bryant his uh, his Bryant Bulldogs. Um. I mean

463
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: they got pummeled in the nonconference by Clemson, by Rhode Island,

464
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: by Houston. I mean they lost to Houston. I think, well,

465
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: it looks like by sixty one eleven to forty four

466
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: they got smashed by since they are by no means

467
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: a good team. But Peter Kiss can give you buckets.

468
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: He's either the guy who will go internationally and have

469
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: like a nice solid career in like Czechoslovakia where you

470
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: can tax free money or wherever. Um. I mean maybe

471
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: he could be. I don't know if he's playing in

472
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the top league. Hey, I'm telling you Peter Kiss can go.

473
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: You don't lead the country in scoring and then vanish

474
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: like he can play and and playing in Czechoslovakia is

475
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: not a knock. You can make a really nice career

476
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: over there. Um. I I always will recommend the NBL

477
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: in uh Australia, New Zealand the league where I am

478
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: owner of a team. The New Zealand Breakers are having

479
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: a tough year, but they haven't had a home game

480
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: and forever due to COVID. Hopefully that's changing next season

481
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: they'll have a regular schedule. But the attraction there is

482
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: the weather. Obviously, there's no language barrier. You go to Czechoslovakia,

483
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: like Peter Kiss don't speak Czechoslovakia. You go to Australia

484
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, this weather is amazing, it's incredible,

485
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: and oh everybody speaks to language. So it's like that's

486
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: why the NBL is starting to attract a ton of

487
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: talent and the Breakers not to, you know, brag about

488
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: the team. I'm a minority owner and they have two

489
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: guys who are probably gonna be first round picks. I

490
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: think one could get in the lottery. So Peter Kiss could,

491
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: he could go to the NBL. He's a little cocky

492
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: and arrogant. I don't know if you know that will

493
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: play well there. It's certainly it will play well in

494
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: certain places. But you guys will enjoy watching him. They

495
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: will play right state. I'm just gonna back Peter Kiss,

496
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: just to back Peter kiss Um, this Right State team

497
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: is interesting. They do not have a senior in the

498
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: starting lineup, so this is one of these like test runs.

499
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: And if you listen to our guest yesterday, p uh

500
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: Thomas Casally, he noted that you know teams that come

501
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: to the n A tournament one year and then come

502
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: back and then lose, come back the next year and

503
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: usually win or a competitive with the same group of guys,

504
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: like like, they have four junior starters in a freshman

505
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: and they you know, they barely barely got by Northern

506
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky to win their tournament. But Right State will be interesting. Um,

507
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: I think the guy you want to watch is it's

508
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: not I thought it was Tanner Hole. I thought it

509
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: was Tanner Holden, but it's not. Um, they have they listen,

510
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: they have a pretty good team. I'm not gonna pretend

511
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: to know everything about Right State at this stage. You

512
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: go to you know, Ken Palm, look up their numbers,

513
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, they did beat NC State, it's a

514
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: solid win. But they have not faced Right State. They

515
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: have not faced a team in the top hundred and

516
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: fifty in Ken Palm since they got smashed by Akron

517
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of December, they lost to perdue By.

518
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: It was the best team they played this year. So

519
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: I think Right State's a little out of their depth here,

520
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: and I will go with Peter Kiss in a close one.

521
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: So give me Peter Kiss and Bryant and give me

522
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on the eve of the n

523
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: c A Tournament. Obviously, Thursday podcast will be absolutely loaded. UM,

524
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: I do have probably too many bets already in UH

525
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: I'll just give you a snapshot. I'm on Murray State

526
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: one and a half. There's a San Francisco injury that's

527
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: starting to leak out in the Murray numbers. I don't

528
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: say it's want to I don't want to say the

529
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Murray State number is gonna race out not funny, but

530
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: I can see this going up to two and a

531
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: half or three. Um, it's at one and a half now.

532
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm on Murray State. I took the fourteen with Acron

533
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: against u c L, a first of fifty three wins.

534
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm you guys don't want Loyola obviously,

535
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm on Chattanooga money line and the points I got seven,

536
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm on Loyola. Pick and Loyola favored. Um woah man.

537
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: That means I've got multiple bets and and by the way, listen,

538
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm not this some kind of degenerate gambler. I do

539
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: like to get after it. I've got multiple accounts. Um

540
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: I I enjoy the NA tournament and frankly after the

541
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: n c A tournament other than the NBA playoffs, I don't.

542
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not betting baseball regular season. I'm not

543
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: messing around with hockey. I will dabble in soccer, dabble

544
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: at best, and I then save my powder for the NFL.

545
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: But I will be going large and in charge March madness.

546
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: I love it. I'll be here for all of it.

547
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: We have Fox shows, Fox bet Live Today, We'll be streaming.

548
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: I'll push out the link on social media. We'll have

549
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: a show Saturday before Round two begins. Fox sports dot

550
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Com wants me to bet every game for their website,

551
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: so I will give it now that I'm not betting

552
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: a side on every game. There's some totals. I convinced

553
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: them I need to do some first halves. I can't

554
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: pick thirty two sides like that. I can't find an

555
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: edge in thirty two games. That's just if you think

556
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: someone has an edge in thirty two games, they're lying

557
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: or they don't know what they're doing. But look for

558
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: that article late Wednesday, maybe early Thursday. Al Right, guys,

559
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:43,880
