8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: This is history in the making.

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: I'm sure you know about this rock because you're a

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 4: big Indiana lifelong Fanada Hoosiers. So, Indiana had been a

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 4: doormat for a eleven thousand years up until the last

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: two seasons, and thanks to Kurtin Signetti, they have turned

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 4: things around in a big way. Okay, before Sinnetti got there,

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 4: Indiana football lost seven hundred and fifteen games, the second

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: most in FBS history.

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: They were terrible.

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 4: He comes in brings an entire roster from JMU with him.

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 4: They turned things around immediately.

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 5: Year one.

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: Year two, they cap off the perfect season with a

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: national championship last night over Miami. Here's Signetti after the

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: game talking about it.

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 6: Let me tell you we won the national championship at

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 6: Indiana University.

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 5: It can't be done.

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 3: And I'm so happy for our fans. I can't hurts,

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: can't describe it.

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what happens when what when you win a

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 6: championship and you know you don't even feel that good

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 6: about it. Can I tell you how to describe this championship?

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 6: They beat the system. They beat the system. They didn't

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 6: beat Miami, they beat the system. This ain't no Disney movie.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 6: This movie's rated triple X. Oh boy one, you don't

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 6: want to take the kids to see.

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, there's nothing good, pure holes of about

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Indiana winning the national championship.

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: Kidding.

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Media's selling this like we reinvented the wheel. We made

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: a better mousetrap that could catch two mites at the

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: same time. That's what they're trying to sell college football America.

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: It's a farce.

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: They paid for a national championship. And that's why I

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: say they beat the system other schools. Now, go look

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: at your alum. Go find your more cuban check right

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: with the checkbook. You can do this too. The average

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: age twenty three years old.

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: You go, oh, that's not that old.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 6: Well, most people graduate college twenty one or twenty two.

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Right, are they making right now? Most people, and then

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: think about this.

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 6: The Green Bay Packers average age of their players twenty

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 6: five five, Indiana twenty three. Please do not make this

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: like you just saw something that's inconceivable and you can't

54
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 6: believe that this happened in your lifetime. Because the basketball

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 6: school Indiana, which haven't been relevant since Bobby Knight was

56
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 6: kicking chairs and pimp slapping students around roam the sidelines.

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: This is not that Indiana. There's nothing special here. This

58
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 6: could have happened at any school willing to put up

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 6: twenty million dollars for a coaching staff, two million dollars

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 6: for a quarterback, and guess what what top ten in

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 6: spending on the players and going to the transfer portal,

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 6: and any twenty seven year old with two kids and

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 6: a wife will gladly put them on the roster. That's

64
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 6: how ugly this is. They won a championship. They're not Cinderella.

65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 6: This chick is heavy with pimples and I'm not going

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 6: to embrace.

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: It loocause you fat saving on a Tuesday, that Tuesday,

68
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Fat Tuesday.

69
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: Let me get to you right now. Number one.

70
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I thought you were about to say the right thing

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: when you said ahem ain't nothing good or pure about

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, look at him starting off right

73
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: then you said, Indiana, No, it's college football, nothing pure

74
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: or about it, and the good in the first place.

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: So they got into a nasty, murky system, an ugly game,

76
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: and they played it better than anybody. Kurt Signette came

77
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: into the game, told him I was about to win.

78
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you know what he did. He told

79
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, he said, google me. He told you to

80
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: google him. And what did he do? Turn right around

81
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: and win eleven and two? Last year, ended up number

82
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: eight and then sixteen and oh Rob sixteen and oh

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: smoked everybody. Ohio State, you can get to smoke twice with.

84
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: As Rob jjus meant it second most losing team in

85
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: FBS history. So the idea that Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, Alabama,

86
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: all these big teams and not Alabama, I'll take them

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: out because they went all the time. But some of

88
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: these schools who've won one or having won in twenty

89
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: some years, like in Miami, Texas, I don't even know

90
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: the last time Texas won, and they got they got

91
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: a Manning, they got a Vince Young.

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 5: Right, that was lit. That was one of the greatest

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: games ever.

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: My point is Texas, all these amenities, new buildings, new

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: structure for the players, they got arch.

96
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: Manning, all that money. Dang did it. In fact, they

97
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: didn't look that great this year. Yeah, you're right.

98
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: They don't have any twenty seven year olds on the team.

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: You're right right, they got twenty two point eight year olds.

100
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: And so the idea that he turned it around so fast,

101
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: he did it his way, brought in James Madison kids,

102
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: he didn't bring in Georgia, he didn't bring in Clemson,

103
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State, James Madison kids, and they went in there

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: and got it done.

105
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: Come on, Rob, you can't hate on that. That's amazing.

106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Now, what he opened up was an opportunity, as you

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: just mentioned, for everybody to do that. And it might

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: have donors who typically wouldn't think of a Purdue, who

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: typically might not think of a Michigan State, who might

110
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: not think of a you know, some of these other

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: schools that aren't the biggest, say, you know, why not

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: US North State? We got some people with some money,

113
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: why not US. I just saw he did it in

114
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Indiana of all places, in two years. So that's what's

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: about to make this interesting. We might mess around and

116
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: have more parody than we've had in the last twenty

117
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: to thirty years, where it was just Alabama, Georgia, Alabama, Georgia,

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgian.

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: None of this makes any sense. It just doesn't.

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 6: Like I'm again, I'm not mad at them for beating

121
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 6: the system. This is available to them. This is what

122
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 6: college football wanted because they want to get us much money,

123
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 6: and they this is what they decided. They could have

124
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: put in a system to pay the players from their

125
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 6: own pockets and make it equal so that everybody got

126
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 6: the same. They didn't want to pay, so they said,

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 6: let other people pay. This is what you get that.

128
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 6: This is not your grandfather's college.

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 5: That's true.

130
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: This is a.

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: Pro league, pro minor league, whatever you want to call them.

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: That's what this is. And it's fine. All I'm saying

133
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 6: is it's not a Disney movie. It's a dirty movie.

134
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 6: I hear, I get the money, that's what the money.

135
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 6: But they did it, and they did it in record.

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: No, but it doesn't. It doesn't.

137
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't a ten year bill. We were always going

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: it's eleven and two. It's a dirty scene. It's just

139
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: not crazy. Well, if it ain't a Disney, it's a

140
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Netflix movie.

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: Dang it.

142
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: If it ain't Disney, it's Hulu. It's definitely getting the deal,

143
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: without a doubt. It's getting somebody's getting ready to put

144
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: this apple plus somebody.

158
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: Lebron James, for reasons unknown to us, you know, we

159
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: talked about it on the show, decided he needed a

160
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: twenty third season patch that only he would have for

161
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: the rest of the season. It started mid January and Sacramento,

162
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: of all places, that just seemed odd. And then yesterday

163
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: or she's on Monday, it was announced that for the

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: first time in twenty one seasons, Lebron James would not

165
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: be listed as an All Star Games starter in the NBA,

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: which is crazy that it's gone over two decades and

167
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: the streak is finally broken. We find out yesterday that,

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: of course he didn'tet voted in by the fans, but

169
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: even his peers, his teammates, his NBA brethren, didn't even

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: have him in their top six of Western Conference players

171
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: on their ballots for the NBA All Star Game. And

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: it all came to a head earlier on Wednesday, when

173
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 4: ESPN's Backs Are Homes did a ten thousand word piece

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: discussing the dynamics of the Genie bus Bus family sale

175
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: of the Lakers. All even cared about, though, was about

176
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: three paragraphs where it explained that Genie Buss had grown

177
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 4: frustrated with Lebron for a number of reasons. Number one

178
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: being that she felt like she didn't like the narrative

179
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: that Lebron had chose them and he was like their

180
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: savior for their franchise. Number two, she didn't like the

181
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: fact that Lebron James had kind of absolved himself from

182
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: the Russell Westbrook trade, even though he pushed for it harder.

183
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: Than I do.

184
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 6: We remember the video of them having a pow wow

185
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 6: in his backyard.

186
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 4: And last, but not least, she was very upset that

187
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: he didn't seem more grateful that they did him a

188
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: solid by drafting Bronni in the second round of the draft.

189
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: They drafted Bronni on potent his on his playing potential. Right.

190
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: So it's been a it's been a rough week for

191
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: the King. Yes, and I got a message for the King.

192
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: I'm dead serious.

193
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 6: Retire after this season. Call it quits. Seriously, Lebron, is

194
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: this on? I'm dead serious. The writing could not be

195
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 6: more on the wall right from everywhere you go.

196
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: You don't want to go out. Your players have told

197
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: you you're an afterthought.

198
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 6: The fans, the Laker fans voted because guess what, Luca

199
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 6: got one point five million more votes than he did

200
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 6: when he was in Dallas last year. And guess who

201
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,479
Speaker 6: got one point five million less votes, Lebron James.

202
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: So the Laker fans are out there voting and they

203
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: still didn't vote for you. The players didn't vote for you,

204
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: The fans didn't vote for you.

205
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 6: The league did this phony patch that only you have.

206
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 6: If we were really celebrating your twenty three years in

207
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 6: the league, it should be a worldwide patch, right, everybody

208
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 6: should have it on and it should have started in

209
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 6: October when the season started. That's when your twenty third

210
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 6: season started. You don't want to stick around too long.

211
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 6: You can't Now next year and the All Star Game

212
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: is in LA. Want to send off? Have it one

213
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 6: more time? And it could have been in LA. They

214
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 6: were not even in You're just in doing that for

215
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 6: you no solid. The worst thing you could do is

216
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 6: come back next year and guess what it be even

217
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 6: worse than this year. Like it is rock bottom. He

218
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: has stayed too long. Lebron James needs to retire. The

219
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: writing is on the wall in Los Angeles. Nobody wants

220
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: you at the All Star Game, Lebron James. Really, Calvin,

221
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 6: I think that says all you need to know. Fans

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 6: don't want you, No owners want you, the players don't

223
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 6: want you.

224
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: Like, what do you need some building to fall over

225
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: on you?

226
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

227
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I think Rob. I think what makes it difficult with

228
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Lebron is all that it comes with. We'll talk a

229
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: little bit later about on Steph Curry. Some of the

230
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Steph Curry news in with the Warriors and whatnot. But

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: it's what comes with Lebron. It's not just singularly the talent.

232
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: He's actually still probably a top twenty meter rob Zee

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: were talking about this top twenty player, top twenty five,

234
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: depending on where you want to go when you watch him.

235
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: And still like last night's game, he was incredible. And

236
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: so the talent is there, what he could bring to

237
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: a team is there?

238
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 5: No? No, oh dude, of course he's not. He's forty

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 5: one years old.

240
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, is so it has to be something else,

241
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: And it becomes what all that brings with Lebron?

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 5: Right, it's all the expectations.

243
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: It's coaches might get fired, coaches by now, guys might

244
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: get traded. It's everyone else's fault, buzz his. It's all

245
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: the innu windows and his secret messaging. And now it's

246
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: Rich Paul and his Rich Paul speaking for Lebron or

247
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: he's not is he his own man saying?

248
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 5: It's all that comes with it?

249
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: And so one thing going back to what rob Z

250
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: was set up with with the with Jennie Buss, I

251
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: do disagree with the idea that I mean he did come.

252
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: If you remember what the Lakers were prior to him,

253
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: including the years the last few years with Kobe, they

254
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: were awful. They were awful, the reason why they had

255
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: the number two pick three years in a row. So

256
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: the idea that.

257
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: All he came, which brought a d because of.

258
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: The whole Clutch sports connection, and they got a championship.

259
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: Out of that. So let's not belittle that. Like, I don't.

260
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 5: I don't at that part. I don't agree with he

261
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: did come.

262
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: The Lakers're gonna be fine. The Lakers would be fine.

263
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: They've always sold out.

264
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 5: I don't. I have no recollection of that.

265
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: I have no recollection of that post doctor Buss, I don't.

266
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 5: You may tell me that the Lake if you told.

267
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: Me what doctors, if you told me you had empty

268
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: seats here, I would buy into that. There are no

269
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: empty seats in Los Angeles. What I'm not I'm sorry.

270
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: The Laker organization does not base things off justice. See

271
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: he just talked to a part of it. No, but

272
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm just talking. They have full seats when they were

273
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: winning thirty games with could the end the last couple

274
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: of years with Kobe?

275
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 5: Come on now, Rob.

276
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 6: But my point is that they weren't going anywhere whether

277
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 6: Lebron came or not, like they would have had to

278
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 6: rebuild and do something whether it was with Lebron or not.

279
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, let's not make it like you because

280
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 6: without a D, they didn't do anything.

281
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: When a D wasn't he didn't even make the playoffs

282
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: with Lebron.

283
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: No, you got a D because of Lebron. That's exactly

284
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: what I just said. You got Lebron, you got a D.

285
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: The whole clutch sports thing, and they were actually to

286
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: be relevant. They wanted you sampionship, Western Conference Finals. They

287
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: had a run of at least relevancy on the court,

288
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: not just in the seats, because of the Lakers.

289
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.

290
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: So A gonn to belittle that first, you know, part

291
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: of his tenure first four or five years. But with

292
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: that being said, I actually agree, and I mentioned this

293
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: half tongue in cheek hack seriously that I think that

294
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: All Star Game is a perfect time where very Lebron

295
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: asked for him to announce retirement.

296
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 5: It's in LA. You didn't vote me in.

297
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: I feel some type of way the Lakers I had

298
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: to opt in. They didn't offer me an extension. Rich

299
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Paul says, they never asked for one whose side of

300
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you know what of your believe But that to me

301
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: seems like an opportunity for Lebron. You expect it to happen.

302
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm saying that would not shotas said.

303
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I'm just saying, do you expect.

304
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: It, Lebron? I don't expect.

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I could see this happening where he says,

306
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna suck the oxygen out of this room the

307
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: All Star Games in La we mentioned I'm not starting

308
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: watch me announce something here where whoop it all becomes

309
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: about me again. That would take you know that what

310
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: it completely change. The whole entire weekend would be about that.

311
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: And I could see that as a great opportunity to say,

312
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, the middle finger. If he feels slighted at all,

313
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: here's a good chance to put the mit proverbial middle

314
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: finger up and say to the Lakers, to an NBA,

315
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: to fans, whoever slighted me, he's.

316
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: Not sure he's gonna be there.

317
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 5: That's not that's not crazy too, that that wouldn't do that.

318
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 6: I can't imagine him showing up that's not being voted

319
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 6: as a starter for the first time.

320
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 5: So what's the outthough, what are you sick? Had a family?

321
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 5: What's the thing?

322
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: He didn't want to go last year? I just he

323
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: won't go.

324
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's gone to the coaches are gonna put

325
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: him in, So then it becomes yeah, but.

326
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: He can always just it.

327
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could decline he didn't want to do it.

328
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: I just don't think.

329
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: So.

330
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: It's gotten weird where ten years ago we would all

331
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: thought he would have an amazing farewell tour. Kareem got it,

332
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Jordan got it. You would think Lebron would get that.

333
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: Now we're at a place where I think it's just

334
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna end pretty bad and he's gonna walk away and

335
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: very well could be this year and should be this year.

Speaker 4: It can be argued that the Buffalo Bills head coaching

341
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: vacancy is far and away the most appealing vacancy in

342
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 4: this cycle, whether it's been filled or not filled. Get

343
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: a chance to work with Josh Allen on a perennial contender.

344
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic job, so I naturally they got their

345
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: pick of the litter when it comes to coaches.

346
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: Well, earlier on Friday, the Buffalo Bills and.

347
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: Josh Allen apparently we'll get to the part later interviewed

348
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: the head coach from Saint Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama.

349
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: That's right, Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers was interviewed today

350
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: for the head coaching gig with the Buffalo Bills. We

351
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: don't know how it went, but we know we had

352
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: the interview and he is being seriously considered, so much

353
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: so that Vegas currently has him with the second best

354
00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: odds to get the gig.

355
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 6: And Kelvin I'm just gonna say I've been covering to

356
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 6: the National Football League since nineteen eighty seven. This league,

357
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 6: more than any other league, just bothers me because we

358
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 6: see the same thing over and over. The gold posts

359
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 6: are move for people to get opportunities. At one time,

360
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 6: black assistant coaches couldn't even get interviews. That's why they

361
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 6: implemented the Rudy rule that forced owners to even interview,

362
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 6: forget about hiring here we are in a job cycle,

363
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 6: ten head coaching jobs open. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it.

364
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 6: I don't believe a black coach is gonna get hired.

365
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: We've talked to a couple of NFL reporters.

366
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 6: They couldn't even give you any names. Okay, and we

367
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 6: already know with the Vikings are just Brian Flores. I

368
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 6: just don't see him getting hired as a head coach

369
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 6: with a pending lawsuit against the NFL. If they hire him,

370
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 6: I'll say I was wrong. I just don't see that.

371
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 6: But the idea that we already saw the coltire Jeff Saturday,

372
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 6: who came right out of the TV studio, was zero

373
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 6: coaching experience. And now the idea that they love Philip

374
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 6: Rivers so much that they allowed him to play, making

375
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 6: a mockery of the NFL at forty five years old,

376
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 6: after not playing for five years. Now they want to

377
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 6: hire him and make it because he coaches his high

378
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 6: school as kids in high school, that they're going to

379
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 6: make him an NFL head coach. And this isn't about

380
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 6: hiring people because they're black. This is about opportunity.

381
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: When you go to a pool of people, how can

382
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: the league be sixty roughly sixty seven percent Black guys.

383
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 6: Who've played the game. They're coaches around the league. There's right,

384
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: and they're not in the mix. Something's really wrong when

385
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 6: when they can't be in the mix. And I'm just

386
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 6: if they've hired a black coach with no experience right

387
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 6: off the studio, you know, like you look at some

388
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 6: of the guys at ESPN who are dying for opportunities

389
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 6: or what they're still sitting around waiting and those guys

390
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 6: never ridd He's been looking for a general manager job.

391
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 6: But you know what in Atlanta what they do, Matt

392
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 6: Ryan no experience. Hey, Matt, go ahead, buddy.

393
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: You know what, Philip Rivers can possibly be a head

394
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: coach of one of the better teams in the league.

395
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: And this is my point, not ground zero, work your way,

396
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: have some new franchise or something like that.

397
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: It's disgraceful. It's just disgraceful.

398
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, man, I talked to Rob g on

399
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: the way and then I said, there's somebody listening right now,

400
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: Rob that's going, oh, here we go. Why does this

401
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: have to be a thing not understanding that these are

402
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: conversations that me and you don't want to have in

403
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: a perfect world, meaning we wouldn't have to have these conversations,

404
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have to highlight these types of things where

405
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: you brought up the Rooney rule, and the Rooney rule

406
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: was to even just say get him in the room,

407
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: just can you interview? So you can't hire somebody if

408
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: you don't interview, can you at least just take and

409
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee with him and say, hey,

410
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, what would your philosophies be as a coach?

411
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: And didn't make it a sision by what would be

412
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 3: your philosophies of being a coach? Humor me?

413
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: Humor me, because we already got our guy. We're just

414
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: checking you off the list. So I go back to

415
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: this somebody saying, why don't get what's the big deal?

416
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: This is why it matters, Rob, You know what they

417
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: were saying twenty five years ago, thirty years ago, black

418
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in college couldn't be a quarterback in the league.

419
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: They weren't smart enough.

420
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: There's little documentation that NFL leaders and owners and everyone

421
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: thought they weren't smart enough. They didn't possess the mental

422
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: capacity to be a quarterback.

423
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: Mind boggling, right.

424
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Not in say, nineteen twenty eight, we're talking eighty eight,

425
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: Doug Williams wins the Super Bowl and can't really get

426
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: another opportunity. You don't destroyed records, and the destroyed records.

427
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Tony Dudgey was a quarterback. You ain't know that.

428
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: You never played.

429
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 6: Quarterback in Indiana, you know, because they moved him to

430
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 6: a dB, didn't they.

431
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: You didn't even know that.

432
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: There's so many Warren Moon had to go play in

433
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: the wounds of the USFL CFLs well, he won championships

434
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: in the CFL one hundred. So my point is, it's

435
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: first sits, you can't really be in the league. Then

436
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: it's okay, you can be in the league, but you

437
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: definitely aren't playing the prize possession of quarterback. All right

438
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: now we're seeing quarterbacks, mind you taking over the league.

439
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: But all right, you can be quarterbacks, but you can't

440
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: be coaches. All right, Well, you can have some assistico.

441
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: You can't be a head coach. You for jags on

442
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: sure really areg and or general managers as a handful,

443
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: and if you for sure aren't being an owner. And

444
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: so the reason why these conversations are needed is because

445
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: the loud messages that screams to the youth, you can

446
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: go play, you can go tackle, you can do all that.

447
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: That's where it stops.

448
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 6: And I want to say this. I got a tweet

449
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: from a young brother online and his message to me was, well,

450
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 6: just go buy your own team and then you can

451
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 6: hire whoever you want, which is just a cop out, okay,

452
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 6: because I said, well, wait a minute, can.

453
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: We look at the NBA. There are zero black owners. Zero.

454
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Is hiring black coaches a question mark or or a

455
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: thing in that league?

456
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 6: Absolutely not. And if you want to talk about making change,

457
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 6: the NBA may change, you know how, because Donald Sterling

458
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 6: said don't bring those black people and all the derogatory

459
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 6: words to the game. The players got together, went to

460
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 6: Adam Silver and said, hey, we are not playing the playoffs.

461
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 6: If this guy's going to be an owner in the NBA.

462
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 6: How long after that was he's still an owner in

463
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 6: the NBA. So don't give me that you can't make change.

464
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 6: You can make change. It's about opportunity. If right now

465
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 6: in the National Hockey League, which is I'm gonna say,

466
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 6: is ninety nine percent black, I mean white?

467
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: Ninety nine percent white?

468
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: If ninety eight percent of the coaches in the national

469
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: were black.

470
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: Wouldn't people go what is this?

471
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: This is bizarrero world.

472
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: This makes absolutely no sense for all women, all women.

473
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: Come on, dude, don't be dumb. Don't act like this

474
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. And oh, you're just from heart and the

475
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 3: best person.

476
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 6: It can't be because Jeff's Saturday wasn't the best person,

477
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: wasn't qualified.

478
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: God forbid, you hired a black guy off the street

479
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: out of the studio like Jeff's Saturday Brown.

480
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 5: That's offensive.

481
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Lineman hay Long has just come straight in and the

482
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: radio boot me go coast the Lions.

483
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: But I did in doing I'll due diligence today, I did.

484
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: I did go end. Okay, you're got a comment from

485
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 3: the league.

486
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 7: What they say, there's not going to be anything left

487
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 7: for the white people. I mean, all the players are black.

488
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 7: I mean the only thing that the whites control is

489
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 7: the coaching jobs. Now I'm not being derogatory about it,

490
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 7: but that's all that's left for him. So black talent

491
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 7: is beautiful, it's great, it's out there. The only thing

492
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 7: left for the whites is a couple of coaching jobs.

493
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry that one that wasn't the clip. That

494
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: wasn't the clip that was Jimmy the Greeks. That's what

495
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: I thought, Okay, okay, but it sounded like that would

496
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: be the clip from the league.

497
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: It just looks like thirty forty years later, that wasn't

498
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: a crazy statement that could be apropos in twenty twenty six,

499
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: think about what he said, that that would be the

500
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: only thing the white guys control all the jobs. Jimmy

501
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: the Greek Schneider back in what is that eighty something

502
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: said that.

503
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 6: Here we are twenty twenty six. Ten job openings.

504
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Colk, we haven't had this many openings in a

505
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: long time in the National Football third of the league.
