Speaker 1: I went to Trader Jose. I got one of those

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm just going straight concentrate many through it. Man. I

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: had to be ready for the show man good man. Hey,

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: And in part of my hayese are the Bears moving

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: to Indiana? Yeah? Is that a real story? No, that's

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: been a real story for a long time. They bought

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: that swap of land like they've got land all over

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that's been strolling in the

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: background for a long time. I'm all not leveraging the

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: city and that horrible, horrible field that they've been playing on,

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: a sacred ground in terms of what a stadium. Once

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: upon a time was the Great Soldier Field, and then

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: they put that toilet bowl over the top of it,

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: but handled by the park District, one of the worst

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: surfaces you'll ever play a football game on, or watch

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: people play a football game on. So, yeah, trying to

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: leverage the city to put some money towards things, well,

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I gotta say, if you were gonna move to Indiana

41
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: to play football, now's the time. It's never been better

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: than it. Is in India. I mean, come on, they're

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: in the They're in the playoff of the number one

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: team in the country. I mean, come on, this is

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: when you go to Indiana. This is go to New York.

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: The New York team stink. I'm not going to We're

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: going to Indiana. That's what. Well, at least the Colts

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: have drifted back, so you would be number two in

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: the state right now. Ah well, yeah, Sycamores don't feel

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the team, do they? No, I don't. I don't think

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: you can. You already have so much a Larry Bird

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and Kreem Abdul Jabbar, but I no, I think you

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: would probably boy Indiana. They would have to go all

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the way. But it's still the NFL. No, they would

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: fight the Indoe Hoosiers for number one in the state.

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: They would fight Indy, the Indiana Bears. It already rolls

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: off the tongue, Indiana Bears, Indiana Bears rolls off the table.

58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: It would have to be you know, wherever they end

59
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: up setting up shop and it's like some sub section. Yeah,

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy, but yeah, that is going on, and

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: it's been part of the All right, let's use whatever

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: leverage we can buy some land. Nothing else. Lands appreciating

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: in value, so it sound investment. So there you go.

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: There's your investment advice in three minutes after the hour.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's Hoosier's day here at Soldier Field. He

66
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: get a free Indiana Hoosiers replica Mendoza Jersey. I can't

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: say his whole name because then we'd have to pay

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: him money. But get your replica Mendoza Jersey here at

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: the game odd Sunday. Yeah, it is some mex level stuff.

70
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: So that's one of the stories swirling in the background

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: of Packers week.

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: Out.

73
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, yeah, that's one of the greats the

74
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Bear I mean, look, this has been a great upping

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: the anti story over the course of the past few years.

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: And now that look, this is the biggest game the

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Bears have had at home in a long time, right,

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: this Saturday game against Green Bay, who's basically going to

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: decide the NFC North and decide, you know, they could

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: finish this highest second in the in the NFC this year.

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: This is when CEO Kevin Warren says, oh yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, hey,

82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: you know we could move and we could move entirely

83
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: out of Illinois. They're looking outside of Cook County. They're

84
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: looking at the big property in Arlington Nights and potentially

85
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: northwest Indiana. I mean, that's just awesome. I like how

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: he says it's not about leverage now, it really is

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: about you're not gonna move You're really gonna move the

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Bears to Indiana. It's gonna be the Indiana. But come on, man,

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you're not moving the Bears. And it is all about

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: leverage and where you you've had opportunity, and you look

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: in the area just up and down the highway there,

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: it's a nice short drive. You mentioned Purdue there Justice,

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: So like all of that to say, uh yeah, when

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: you're winning, it's a lot easier to go back to

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: a city state and just say, hey, what do we

96
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: got on the table here, because you know, we got

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot of options. And right now we're really popular

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: with this you know, good better, best coach and a

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: second year quarterback that people are starting to fall in

100
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: love with a little bit and the brand is at

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: its peak since nineteen eighty five. So yeah, it's exciting times.

102
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, you gotta leverage this for every bit that

103
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: you can. I mean, it's like whenever there's an opening.

104
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: You know, no matter where you work, if there's an

105
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: opening that suddenly avails itself, you have to raise your

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: hand and say, hey, what do I got? Oh I

107
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: get to we gotta bring Brent Musburger out of a

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: time to say you are looking live at Kevin Warren

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: Field here in Indiana as the Indiana Bears hosts the

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Yeah, I mean funny because if you

111
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: listen to a Bear's broadcast, there are advertisers and businesses

112
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: from northwest Indiana, and that's part of the a's part

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: of the broadcast. So this doesn't come out of the blues.

114
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: So folks that think this is just kind of like

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: a random Okay, it's Midwest, they're near blah blah. No, no, no, no,

116
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: there's advertising dollars that have already been exchanged and promotions

117
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: for cities in Indiana for a long time. So yeah,

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's timing, man. You gotta strike while the

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: iron's hot, man, I'll tell you.

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: So.

121
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, a plethora of big football stories tonight. You know,

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is leaving more crumbs. He wants out, and

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: I really feel like he really does want out. Patrick

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes wants to be back week one. But yeah, sometimes

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: in the world we live in now, the you become

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: the news. Right and right now this hour here, Fox

133
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: through the clutter. It was. It was incredible endeavor for

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: him to undertake to do a daily sports talk radio

135
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,919

00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, gonna continue on to do his podcast, but

139
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: uh obviously devoting even more of his time to the

140
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay Phoenix. Now this story is is uh, look,

141
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280

Speaker 1: that it's been. But as far as this ending, I

144
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: I this was sort of we'd we talked about it

145
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: when it happened. I felt like it was sort of

146
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: inevitable that it's sometime he was gonna have to choose, right, Like,

147
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: sometime he was gonna have to choose. I either stay

Speaker 1: a newsmaker and an opinion giver and and and everything else,

151
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,720

00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: full time and and and and donate all of my

153
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: time to coaching, like to do like for for a

Speaker 1: team like Green Bay. Because you think about it from

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: their perspective. When this came out, this is a really

156
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: controversial topic, and it was, okay, if Doug was leaving

157
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: to coach UCLA or Michigan or Indiana or someplace, and okay,

158
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're gonna do a full time radio

159
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: show and coach this high lofe d one. Okay, Okay,

160
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but here's here's here's Green

161
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Bay and getting Doug who's been a big national voice

162
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: for the last you know, twenty some odd years. Uh,

163
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, doing games and being on the radio and

164
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: on TV. Uh. You know that that's a coup right, Hey,

165
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: we got somebody that's got a big national personality. It

166
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: will help recruiting, it's gonna help visibility, it will help

167
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: all of this. So I get, you know, when we

168
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: talked about it, when it happened, I get why both

169
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: sides were in for it. Right, Fox is in for Hey,

170
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: we got he's gonna coach, He's gonna do the show.

171
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: It helps us, you know, everybody kind of wins. As

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: long as Doug can do it. It's a lot to

173
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: take it, take that responsibility, even though as he said,

174
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's two hours in the middle of the day.

175
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: I can fit it in. I can do it a

176
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: couple of things. The way he said it, I don't

177
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: know that I would have said it quite that way,

178
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: but I get what he was saying. Yeah, I can

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: do the show, and I can and I can still

180
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: coach because it's it's it's downtime for me during the day.

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: So I get it. And it's been a fascinating thing

182
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to watch. But I always felt that eventually he was

183
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna have to choose whether it was hey, uh, one

184
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: of the sides making him choose, or he was going

185
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: to realize that, Wow, you know, I'm not twenty five,

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: and the endless amounts of energy that I had the

187
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: first year plus doing this, that kind of goes away, right.

188
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I look at my daughter who

189
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: is talking about now flirting with the idea of going

190
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: to the East Coast for college, and I'm like, okay,

191
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: go oh, I love the fall. I go, yeah, okay.

192
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something here. The fall is great,

193
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: and the fall is great, and I know that you

194
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: love the winter. Your experience with the winter has been

195
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: one week at Christmas and we fly home. Yeah, And

196
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: she said, no, I know that, but I would. I said, yeah, No,

197
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna love the weather for

198
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, maybe the first month. It's gonna

199
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: hit November, whether you're in Syracuse or New York or NYU,

200
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: whatever you want to go, go and it's gonna be great.

201
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: And then December is gonna come and it's gonna be

202
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: cold and slushy and sleet and rain every day. And

203
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen for December, January, February, March, and

204
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: then April's gonna come and you're gonna say, hey, we

205
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: got a couple of sunny days. This is great, the

206
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: weather is changing, and then you're gonna get four feet

207
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: of snow sometime at the end of April. You don't

208
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: understand that. I know it sounds great and you can

209
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: you're full of energy now, but trust me, I grew

210
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: up there, I lived there. It's it gets to you

211
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: after the first couple of months when the fall is

212
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: very short, and you know, to a different extent, like

213
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: with Doug, it's like, hey, to devote this kind of energy.

214
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: And you know, he talked a lot about his family

215
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: as well, and and having to fit them in. When

216
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: is when is when his kids come to see him?

217
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: Eventually you were gonna have to make a choice, like

218
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: we You know, he's done this for a couple of

219
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: years and it came time to Okay, I have to choose.

220
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: His team is pretty good, you know. I could tell

221
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: just by talking to him and doing shows together that

222
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: we've done in the past, everything. You know, Look, he

223
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: loves doing what he's doing. He loves this. Coaching lights

224
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: him up, man, and I get it. Look as the

225
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: youth coach I was, I get coaching lights you up.

226
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: But it just absolutely light him up. And he coach

227
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: coach all the time. He would go to Israel and

228
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: would still do his Fox Sports radio show and he's

229
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: doing the Maccabi game and all kinds of stuff. So

230
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: I get it, But I so I always felt like

231
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: at some point he was going to have to choose,

232
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: and he chose the Phoenix, and he chose his kids

233
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: that he's coaching, and you know, best of luck to

234
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: him with that. I want him to succeed. I want

235
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: to see the Phoenix in the tournament. I want to

236
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: see him throw more chairs. So we could talk about him.

237
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, I'm happy for him. I'm happy

238
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: for this choice, and I know it must have been

239
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: difficult and a hard thing to do and to say

240
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: at this point, this is when I have to walk away.

241
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: But again, his team is pretty good. Just beat Calcanda Barber,

242
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: they won a few games, so this was the time

243
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: to make that call, which again I thought would happened

244
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: at some point five and two in their last seven

245
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: and starting to get a little bit of momentum. Obviously,

246
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: we talked about the chair throwing in that near miss

247
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: in the final minutes, right an opportunity to really push ahead,

248
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and you know, you could see the emotion because it's

249
00:11:50,760 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: two loves, right, And oh, I think we lost in

250
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: there for a second. Oh, we'll get him back in

251
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: a second. Jason Smith MI Carmen Live from the Fox

252
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. Yeah, it's it. And you know, Harmon

253
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: gets in that point there about saying, yeah, you have

254
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: two things that you love, and it's okay to love

255
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: a couple of things, right, It's okay to love two things.

256
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: But when you realize that hosting a full time sports

257
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: talk radio show, that's a full time job for everybody, right,

258
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: And then when you're hosting a when you're coaching Division

259
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: I college sports, that's a full time job for everybody.

260
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: I get that you can love both of them. You can,

261
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: you can love a lot of things, and I completely

262
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: get that, But again, you only have so many hours

263
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: in the day, and you know, when you're into your

264
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think Doug's in his late forties now,

265
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: I think he's a couple of years younger than I am.

266
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

267
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that uh, that energy reservoir, doesn't You don't

268
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: quite bounce back as well as as you normally did

269
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: when you know, you know, you don't do that anymore.

308
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. Well, big stuff out of

309
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: the NFL today. Look, we'll get to Puka Nakua ripping

310
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: the referees. But I'll tell you what live stream Live

311
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: streams is a way to go. Now, man, you want

312
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: something from an athlete forgot about podcast, go to live

313
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: stream video. But two big quarterback to stories to get

314
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: to right now. Number one, Well, we talked about it

315
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: on Monday night, said it should happen. It was talked

316
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: about yesterday like it was going to happen, and officially

317
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: it happened today. Tua Tongue of Iloa, the three day

318
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: odyssey of him? Will he still be the quarterback of

319
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He has been benched for this weekend's game

320
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: by head coach Mike McDaniel. Quinn yours six round draft

321
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: pick out of Texas. We'll start passing over Zach Wilson. Sorry,

322
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, I'm sorry. And if he sucks, Marina we'll

323
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: get the start. Yeah. Sure, yeah, Jay Fiedler, Yeah, they

324
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of guys ready to go. Wow,

325
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: go Feedler, Feeley, keep going down the line. So Tua

326
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: is benched, and and quite honestly, by benching Tua, you

327
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: have announced the end of the Tua Toungueo vloa era

328
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: as a starter in Miami. You don't go back after

329
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: benching him. This is not one of those Hey, he's

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: not right, he's not healthy, he needs to sit. He

331
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: needs to get better. This is the quarterback position is

332
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: not giving us what we need, so we need to

333
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: move on. You don't get your job back after you

334
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: get benched like this. You only find a way to

335
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: be a backup or move on someplace else. Now, for Tua,

336
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: yesterday we told you that, hey, the best straight up

337
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: trade one on one would be with the Arizona Cardinals, right,

338
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: because you can make the money work. Teams are exchanging

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: problems for other problems. Getting the better quarterback would be

340
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but they'd have to pay Kyler Murray a

341
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: little bit more than the Cardinals would have to pay Tua.

342
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Tua and Jacoby Brissett would be a complete locker room.

343
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a change of scenery, but there is a

344
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of money at stake for this. But you talk

345
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: about two teams that need to move on from quarterbacks,

346
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: might pick so high, might not like some of the

347
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: guys in the draft. Hey, that works for Tua. But

348
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: two other situations right, One we only briefly touched on

349
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: yesterday is that if it gets bad, right, and clearly,

350
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: Tua has not done a lot to show everybody that, oh, hey,

351
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: he could be the answer. Like it looks a lot

352
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins and the Falcons where they couldn't move

353
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: on from him. He wouldn't take less money and he

354
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: had to back up Michael Pennick Junior until Penix got hurt.

355
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: And now Kirk Cousins is playing and he's playing pretty well.

356
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he jumpstarts his career and after this year teams

357
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: will be okay with taking on two years of his

358
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: salary to come in and be a bridge type quarterback.

359
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that could happens. Been a big year for Kirk Cousins.

360
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: But trying to move Kirk Cousins, remember the end of

361
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: last year, he lost his job, he was benched and

362
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: Michael Pennock Junior came in. He knew he was gonna

363
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: be the guy coming in if you couldn't find a

364
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: way to figure out the money, and you always can

365
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: figure out the money. This was Kirk Cousins digging in

366
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: and the Falcons digging in because the Falcons don't want

367
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: to They're not gonna for one second let it be

368
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: known they made a bad decision by signing Kirk Cousins

369
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: and drafting Michael Pennick Junior. They are gonna just continue

370
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: to die on that hill that we did the right

371
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: thing with these two quarterbacks, and that it looks like

372
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: they may have no quarterbacks because Michael Pennick Junior hasn't

373
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: been good and he's been injured. So this could wind

374
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: up being a big possibility for the Dolphins. Is that, Yeah,

375
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: you have Tua who is not gonna be the starter anymore,

376
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: and maybe Quinn Ewers lights it up the next couple

377
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: of games and he comes in to get kind of

378
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: projected to be a little Justin Herbert esque when he

379
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: was in college. Now, clearly you gotta wait and see

380
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: how it goes. But either that or it's somebody else

381
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: in free agency, or it's somebody in the draft it's

382
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: a first round pick and or it's nuss Meyer, or

383
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: it's somebody early second round that comes in and gets

384
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the job, and Tua is the highest priced backup in

385
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: the NFL for at least this next year. So I

386
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: could really see a scenario in which Tua winds up

387
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: staying with the Dolphins as the backup quarterback because hey,

388
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was a pro right, there were no real problem.

389
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: We didn't hear about problems he's causing behind the scenes.

390
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: With Atlanta this year. There was none of that. He

391
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: was fine. They manage a situation as much as it

392
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: could be. And Tua is like that too. He's a pro.

393
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: He may not like it, but he's not somebody's going

394
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: to try to make waves. He kind of is like

395
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson esquhere. Hey, I'm always trying to do

396
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: the right thing. I want the right image of me

397
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: out there, and I want to do the right thing.

398
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: So I have no doubt that he would handle it

399
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: as best as he could. But that's a real possibility.

400
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: Might because you look at what his capt is the

401
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: next couple of years, and you're coming off being bench,

402
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: not just we got another guy. It's it's not Sam

403
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: Darnell coming off of forty touchdowns where hey, I got

404
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: this is Tua coming off of being bench. That's a possibility, yeah.

405
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean the only thing that comes to it when

406
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: you look at the dollars and cents is whether they

407
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: just decide to go to the Russell Wilson route and

408
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: just take the poison pill and move on, just recognizing

409
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: the next couple of years will be miserable in theory

410
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: because you have such a restrictive cap hit. I mean,

411
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: you see the number that have been floated about, right,

412
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: it's pre June first reduces the dead cap to forty

413
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: five million. Otherwise we're looking at almost one hundred million

414
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: dollars that's on the table here with TUA. And that's why,

415
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm going back to your scenario of

416
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the Kyler Murray trade, which is this fun in theory,

417
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I get the far worst guy and I'm still on

418
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: the hook for a ton of money for next and yeah,

419
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: no I'm out. But it's just the idea in Miami.

420
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: I remember Quinn Ewers was the guy that kept arch

421
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Manning on the bench, So I mean, there's something there.

422
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Unless there's not, I don't know. But he got to Cincinnati.

423
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: They can't stop the you know, our show, and five

424
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: or six other guys. I mean, that's that defense is

425
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: no good. So you got an opportunity to at least

426
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: put something decent on on paper here, and then you

427
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: got Tampa Bay. Their secondary has been terrible. So the

428
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: next two weeks you at least have some opportunities for

429
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: McDaniel to show that he can do the job with

430
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: the next guy up, because that's the other domino that

431
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: can still fall in all of this. I mean, I

432
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know how much he had saved versus coming down

433
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: from on top. Right, you got a power vacuum in

434
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: terms of your GM that you fired mid season, so

435
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out what the next steps are forward,

436
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: and it's sounded and looked like maybe McDaniel would would

437
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: stay and get a stay of execution, but the next

438
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: three weeks might just be all right, we're just turning

439
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: the page altogether. So you got that part in there.

440
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Season finale is on the road at New England. But

441
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: for the TUA situation, just from a money perspective, trying

442
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: to find anybody to take on any portion of that

443
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: salary is just not going to work. Like, this isn't

444
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: a third year that you're moving on from the guy, right,

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: this is this is year six, right, this is who

446
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: he is at this point in terms of how he operates.

447
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: Co Sell and I have talked about it a lot,

448
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: and his tape review NFL Films Greg coach Sell and

449
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: I on our Sunday mornings. It's like, it's all timing, right,

450
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: It's all timing patterns. It's not Hey, I can drive

451
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: the ball in and make a big throw, a big play.

452
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a lesser version of the Russell Wilson moon ball.

453
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: To go back to the you know Russell Wilson from

454
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: an economic standpoint, but also from a playing standpoint. You know,

455
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: once upon a time Russ can at least drive that down,

456
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: and he can also make some plays with his legs. Well,

457
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Tua just runs into trouble more than anything. And we

458
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: talked about it on Monday night against the Steelers. The

459
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: number of sacks that he took that were just inexplicable

460
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: in an obvious throw the damn ball out of bound situations.

461
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: So you know, those decisions in addition to just throwing

462
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the ball the interception was unconscionable. I mean the number

463
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: of turnovers he's made over the coach of the year.

464
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: Normally we could pick a pick and choose through all

465
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: right off the receiver's hands. Off this virtually all of

466
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: them are his fault and bad reads and bad decision making.

467
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: And now with that level of financial responsibility to it,

468
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: it's it puts Miami in absolute hell trying to figure

469
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: out what to do going forward. Jason Smith Mike Harmon

470
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: Lot from the Fox Sports Radio studio sor right, what

471
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: do you got on this Frostburg Jason on a scale

472
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: from one to sixty seven? Yeah? Okay, are you for

473
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: two on the Jets? Come on a no, that's his

474
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: landing spot. Listen, listen, listen. I'm not trying to get

475
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: like three great years out of that. When I says great,

476
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean for us, not you. Content No, no, for us,

477
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: not you. Yeah. The fact that the Dolphins would trade

478
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: to it of the Jets in division tells you what

479
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: they think of him and how how good they think

480
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: he's going to be. Oh, I will trade with the Jets.

481
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: What do you want. We won't take anything you promised

482
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: to start him for the next three years. We'll trade

483
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: him to you. We won't even take anything from you. Hey,

484
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: two and oh I just clinched just being two and

485
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: oh against the Jets the next three years. There we go.

486
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: Check that off. I'm GM of the year. Everybody, Well,

487
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean you also, you get a statue immediately. What

488
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: were I was the interim GM? This got me a

489
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: seven year deal because I was able to keep him

490
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: in division. Ah, you don't let it. Oh, you get

491
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: can you imagine? Like you know it's one of those

492
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: dinner parties in the off season, you're hanging out with

493
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: UH with Brandon bean and and UH and and Vrabel

494
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, great move you got thanks for

495
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: doing that and keeping them in condivision. Man, that's great.

496
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna be two and h against him every year. No,

497
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: you did, you did great. You think he couldn't throw

498
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: the football in the cold? Wait, he tried to throw

499
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: the football at MetLife all those times. Oh, that's gonna

500
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: be fantastic. No, great, but you guys are great. But

501
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday. That was the only part

502
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: of the trade to Arizona I liked was the idea that, well,

503
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: at least he's in a dome and most and all

504
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: the division games will be on the West coast, right exactly,

505
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: And that's a big thing. Right. There was all these

506
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: reasons why, No, he's still terrible. It doesn't. But it's

507
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: an extra. But when you when you have two quarterbacks

508
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: that are making all that money, it's an exchange of problems.

509
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: You know, it's not working for Kyler and Arizona not

510
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: working for two in Miami. Maybe it works the other way.

511
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Either way, you're still on the hook for this money.

512
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: You're still paying somebody at least you could pay somebody else, uh,

513
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, to come in and maybe it's different. Maybe

514
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: it works, if it doesn't, Okay, you tried, right, But

515
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: I would just look around and say, all right, we

516
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: need a couple of defenders. Can Kyler do that? Because

517
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: that ain't his fault. But let's let me throw this

518
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: one out here for me too, because this is a

519
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: team's absolute specialty. Okay, Now again, you have to figure

520
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: the money out, and if you're motivated enough, there's always

521
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: a way to figure the money out. How about this,

522
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: Because it's their team's specialty to make crazy trades that

523
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: go against the norm, that bring in high priced guys.

524
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: And I've wondered for the past seven eight years how

525
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: they continue to bring in these high priced vets for

526
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: short term and turn them around and still stay under

527
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: the cap and are able to compete and be the

528
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: best team overall in the NFL the last seven or

529
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: eight years. But it is a typical Sean McVay thing

530
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: to do for the Rams, to say, you know what,

531
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm a quarterback guru. I can make it work with

532
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Right. Remember Baker Mayfield was here

533
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: he went and lug at all the money he's getting

534
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: with with with Tampa. Right, I had him here, Right,

535
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was someone nobody wanted in Detroit. It was

536
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: aw Stafford's terrible, all that bloated salary. Now all of

537
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, no, wait a minute, Matthew Stafford might be

538
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the NFL. It's gonna win MVP

539
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: this year. But that is a typical thing to do

540
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: for Sean McVay. And again, it's about the challenge of

541
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: doing something like this because look, everybody's human and everybody

542
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: wants to be able to say, hey, that's a challenge

543
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: for me. We have seen too a flash. It's not

544
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen him play well or we've seen

545
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: him at four thousand yard seasons. You know, we've seen

546
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: him be able to do that. But he comes in,

547
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: they figure out a trade, they figure out the money.

548
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a lot of uh, you know,

549
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a lot of draft capital going

550
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: one way or the other. But they figure out the

551
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: money and Tua comes in and he sits, and he

552
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: sits behind Matthew Stafford until he retires, and then Tua

553
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: just assimilates into the role of starting quarterback, because where

554
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: else the Ram's gonna get a guy outside of taking

555
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: someone late in the draft that you're gonna have to

556
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: groom anyway. Tua is twenty five, so if he sits

557
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: until he's twenty seven, twenty okay. They got Matthew Stafford

558
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: when he was thirty three years old, right, I think

559
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: they're okay with Tua. If he took over a twenty

560
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: eight or twenty nine, it's not like he's got to

561
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: worry about losing a lot of speed.

562
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: You know.

563
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: It's like Philip Rivers and everybody speed to begin with.

564
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: But that would be a typical La Rams swing for

565
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: the fences. We have our quarterback. It also puts pressure

566
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: on Matthew Stafford after every year to go, hey, I

567
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: may retire, I want more money. I may retire. I

568
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: want more money, because you know they're kind of sick

569
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: of that. And if you thought you were done with

570
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: it after last year, oh wait, do you see after

571
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: he wins MVP this year what he wants for a

572
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: new deal. But think about that for a second, because

573
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: that's the Rams specialty, is taking money that doesn't seem

574
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: like it works. Making it work. And Tua comes in

575
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: and he backs up Stafford and it's written in stone

576
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: that he is the heir apparent, and Tua can calm

577
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: himself down and learn a playing quarterback from the best

578
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: guy you could learn to play quarterback from on a

579
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: great team in a great environment that plays on the

580
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: West Coast, that plays in good weather, plays away games

581
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: in good weather. To it to the Rams, the Rams

582
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: do crazy things like this all the time. Why not

583
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: this You can add Shanahan to that list if we

584
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: want to go down this road as well. Right, a

585
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: guy that you get him in a system, you get

586
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: him in the right space, that maybe it could work.

587
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: I would say this for the Rams, though, I'm looking

588
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: at the Falcons pick that they're getting for this year,

589
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: and I'm liking where they have a lot of options,

590
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: right because not yeah, they'll draft in their own in

591
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: the high twenties or whatever, but that Falcons pick. Every week,

592
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: we sit there and wait with baited breath to see

593
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: how high or low that'll become. You know, like you

594
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: watch for that first pick when you had it from

595
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: the Panthers, when you want to turn that into Caleb Williams.

596
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: But that's it. Right, it's just say, all right, how's

597
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: this going to finish out? As it sits? You know,

598
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: it would be the number one pick, right or number

599
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: ten pick, I should say, right now, ahead of where

600
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Miami is selecting if the draft were held today. But yeah,

601
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean McVeigh is certainly a guy that loves his

602
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: challenges and loves the rebuild and the money can be

603
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: figured out to a point somewhere along the way. Someone

604
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: has to just swallow all that dead cap and push

605
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: on for two Again. That four thousand yards was a

606
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and you know what he is

607
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. How much you can

608
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: fix it? I mean, if he was so upset he

609
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: didn't want Jared Golfer round, Yeah, Eddy years later talks

610
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: about it's like, well I was in mature. It's like, yeah,

611
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: you were. You had a guy that was pretty damn

612
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: good and you didn't harness it. You still had some

613
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: pretty good runs. Yet he ended up being the fall guy. Yeah,

614
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: you got your super Bowl with Stafford, but you know,

615
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: you look at what the career golf has had. It's

616
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: been pretty strong. But trying to fix another guy, yeah,

617
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean there's a couple of coaches and every offensive

618
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: genius thinks that they can fix someone else's cast offs.

619
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: Just when Ker Mayfield was there, there was no money

620
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: attached to it, right there was there was. There was

621
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: nothing that you had to worry about, and you didn't

622
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: exactly have to shell out a bunch of of prospects

623
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: and draft picks or anything else to bring him into

624
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: that building for that short term. So you know that's

625
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: about Hey, look what I've done. I helped turn him around,

626
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: like so you know I could do it for you

627
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: until it would be acceptable to the trade coming in

628
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: somewhere to be. At this point, he's got no choice.

629
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: That is true. You basically had Mike McDaniel say, hey,

630
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: we need some vote of confidence at the quarterback position.

631
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: In other words, right now, his team has told him

632
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: they have none time now to find out what's trending

633
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: in the wide world sports. So someone who's been called

634
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: the Matthew Stafford of Fox Sports Radio, that's right, she's

635
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: not really welcome in Detroit anymore.

636
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: It's uh, this is just for you, Jason, go to

637
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: your go to your goat gony.

Speaker 5: Your going to your.

639
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: Goy didn't hang a banner. You can't saying didn't hang an.

640
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: I don't blame them, really, I don't blame him.

641
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: What is it?

642
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: Is it important or isn't not important? Half the people

643
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: make fun of this.

644
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: Half the other people aren't watching it, So I don't

645
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: blame them for not hanging it.

646
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: I have to correct all of you. This is when

647
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: you say it, it's world champion New York Knicks. That's

648
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: how you have to say it. It's a no banner

649
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: to wave it though they win the Emirates Cup. That's

650
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: how you have to say it. It's a law.

651
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know if it's a law.

652
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: It is, I trust me. I'll send you the paperwork.

653
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 5: Please send me the paperwork.

654
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,000

Speaker 1: we talked about this last night. They just need a hug. Sure, right,

656
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: the league made a championship, they made a tournament, they

657
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: won the tournament. What am I missing?

658
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 6: Right?

659
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 5: Yes?

660
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: No, I actually watched it, so I get it. I

661
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: get it, but people just you know it's I get

662
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,840

00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 5: This just ended.

768
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: New York go. Right, it's a thing. Now the Knicks

769
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: are saying the right thing about hanging a banner. Hey,

770
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: they're asked about it. No, we're focused on the task

771
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: at hand. We're focused on the NBA title. We think

772
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: we're the best team in the East, and the Look,

773
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: by any metrics, are one of the top four or

774
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: five teams in the NBA, one of the top two

775
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: teams in the East. So yeah, they're saying the right things.

776
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: Are they going to put the banner up? Yeah, they're

777
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: just not going to do it, Like when everybody gets

778
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: back from from Christmas break right, They're not gonna do

779
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: it on Christmas Day. They're not gonna do it now

780
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: when they get back home. They'll eventually put it up

781
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: because look, the NBA wants them to put it up,

782
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: you know, and then maybe the NBA will make them

783
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: do it. But at some point Nicks will do it.

784
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they do it Opening night next year, maybe they

785
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: do at the end of the year this year. I

786
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know, but at some point they'll do it. But

787
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to say. Now, hey, we're not

788
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: doing it now. We're focused on other things. We don't

789
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: want anybody to think that we have are resting on

790
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: our laurels, that we won this championship and now we're

791
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: all good for a while. No, we want to show

792
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: you that, hey we won, we're business as usual. We're

793
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: getting back to it. So this is not we're thumbing

794
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: our nose at the NBA. This is not all the knickser.

795
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: The knickser aren't treating that. The Knicks had to win

796
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: because they needed the the absolute tangible proof that the

797
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: direction they're on after firing TIBs was right, and they

798
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: need a little bit of that early in the season,

799
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: some validation to say, hey, we're on the right path,

800
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: this group can coalesce, we can win things. Great. Great.

801
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: The Knicks needed that win last night for all of those,

802
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: all of those reasons, right, They need to show that

803
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: tangible proof that moving on from TIBs is the right

804
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: thing and that shadow is no longer hanging over the organization.

805
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, Mars, this goes, they'll they'll hang They'll hang

806
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: it at some point, it'll hang. Just just got to

807
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: call on Silver say dude, don't worry about me. Well

808
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: hang it at some point, just just it's not just

809
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: going to be right now, give us a break on it. Well,

810
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: but that's the thing, right, It's it's all in how

811
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: you message it. As it stands. You kind of said, well,

812
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: we're not doing this, like, well don't you can't. You

813
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: can't do that because I'm sure the partner that had

814
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: the elaborate ceremony and ponied up a lot of cash,

815
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, to the tune of five hundred and what

816
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand dollars per player and full contract guy

817
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: and all whatever else is involved. I'm sure they want

818
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 1: their just due to wear their logo and everything hangs

819
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: from a banner that is in the arena. So I

820
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: got to imagine there's a phone call mixed there and

821
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: you could have said, you know, now is not the time,

822
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: like just you know, however, you massage it, but you can't.

823
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: Just can't. No, no, no, we got other things we

824
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: need to do.

825
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.

826
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: This is important. It's important to your fans. If other

827
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: people want to mockt it's like we talked about you

828
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: with your T shirt or hat combination or georts or

829
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: whatever you wanted to do with the logo and the

830
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: championship on it. If folks want to judge it, that's

831
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: on them. Internally, you actually won something, all right. They

832
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: built a tournament, you want it. Celebrate it for the Knicks. Yeah,

833
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of this great proof of concept

834
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: short term in this odd construction of a tournament and

835
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: a Spurs team. That's it'll playing right now with Victor

836
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: woman Yama on a minute restriction. No excuses, Just here's

837
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: part of the equation of what you're doing. You got

838
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: a lot of work left to do, a lot of

839
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: work with the rotation, got to get through healthy whatever.

840
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, at least at this point you've had a

841
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: test and you passed with flying colors. But at some

842
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: point I would imagine the sort of damaicles i e.

843
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: The Emirates Company or Adam Silver starts waving at you,

844
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: going you know, Banner's got to go up, buddy, Banner's

845
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: got to go up. Yeah. Again, it just won't be

846
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: in the next few months. It's fine, they'll do it.

847
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: It's all good. Yeah, But then it'll be forgotten about

848
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: when you melt down in the playoffs champion New York Knicks.

849
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: That crazy story out of the NFL is next. Jason
