1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here with

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: Carmen Vitally. Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Happy Masters weekend, Carlie. Have you been watching Rory put

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: on that master class at the Masters yesterday?

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 3: Today?

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: He's just protecting his lead? What'd you say, Martin? We're

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: in the third round right now. Things looking good. I'm like, oh,

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: there it is. It's over to my right. It is

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: also the regular season finale in the NBA, Karmi, but

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: the biggest issues are tanking superstars who won't qualify for

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: end of season awards. We're going to jump into that

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: a little later. We're also just twelve days away from

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. How are you doing?

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: Your household must be going ham right now.

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 5: It is.

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: There's been a lot. Actually, the athletic puts out something

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: called The Beast. It's Dane Bruggler, who has been doing

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: this for years and years and years. It's the ultimate

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: draft guy that you could ever like. Dane works all

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: year on this thing and he puts it out right

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: after the last Pro day because he goes to like

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: a ton of protas he gets information from all these proteys.

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: Dave Hellman is a co host of his on a

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: podcast that they launched this year detailing it's literally called

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: Building the Beast. Once a week they would talk about

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: what Dane was doing and just what all goes into

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: building this draft guide getting that knowledge, and it finally

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: came out a couple of days ago. So we now

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 3: have the Beast, which is the best resource that you

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: could ever do, ever hope for when it comes to

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: draft coverage. So I've just kind of been diving into

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: that a little bit and getting really excited for the

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: NFL Draft.

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: It's just so crazy because you can have a plan right,

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: you can have a set plan, and then everything can change,

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: like right before they come to you. And that's what

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: you forget too, Like teams can trade up, teams can

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: take someone you thought they were going to take, then

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: and take someone else that you want.

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 6: It.

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: It's just like there's so many different possible scenarios that

43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: just absolutely in my mind.

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially I mean, you know you you have if

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: you have a top ten pick. It's it's pretty straightforward.

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Every every team kind of builds their boards in ways

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: like they prioritize different things, and they do it in

48
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: different ways. Every GM has a system in which they

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: do it. But like the further down you go, I mean,

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: you have to have contingency plans for virtually everything. That's

51
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: why these off season events are also really important to

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: not just from getting to know the prospects standpoint, like

53
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: the combine owners meetings, like you all get together and

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: the draft visits, the top thirty visits, but like you're

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: also kind of probing guys for information about what other

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: teams are doing, but you're.

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: Going to tell you what's going to happen.

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there are planet right, things can get planted,

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: like yeah, you have to separate like this is what

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: they think is going to happen, but we're actually going

61
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: to go.

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: This way right now or in lying season what's known

63
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: as lying season. So it is like you have to

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: everything that even like the insiders come out with and

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: it comes out with like you have to really take

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: a magnifying to it and like think, like who benefits

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: from this information getting Yeah, because there is a reason

68
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: it's coming. There's usually some sort of paper trail or whatever,

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: and a lot of stuff starts to make sense when

70
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: come draft time. Uh, Huh. Also, just like the time

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: period between like when the Super Bowl ends and when

72
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: the combine even ends and the draft kicks off, it's

73
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: it's just kind of a long amount of time to

74
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: fill content space, and so people start like overthinking things

75
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: and you know, reading into things that shouldn't be read

76
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: into or not reading it.

77
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: It's but that's what we're doing. That's what we get

78
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: paid to do, especially if you got a show.

79
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: To do every single day, Like what can we dissect today? Well,

80
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: what we are going to dissect starting off, We're going

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: to kick things off in Philly and the Eagles because

82
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: they made another trade this week, uh, for Dantavian Wicks

83
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: from the Packers. They got a fifth round this year,

84
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: six round pick next year. Not a huge splashy player,

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: but clearly the Eagles are just adding some depth.

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: Right.

87
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: Wicks wasn't the Packers' top wide receiver. He had the

88
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: fourth most receiving yards on the team amongst wide receivers.

89
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: But when you look at the Eagles current wide receiver

90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: room right now, right, they got Davante Smith who had

91
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: one thousand and eight receiving yards last year. They still

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: have aj Brown who had a thousand and three receiving

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: yards last year, so you got wide receiver one A,

94
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: one B basically Hollywood Brown. They signed him to a

95
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: one year deal. He was with the Chiefs last year.

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: Elijah Moore signed this off season, was with the Bills

97
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: last year, and then wis So the question you have

98
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: here with all the trade rumors, kind of the drama,

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: the gossip that's been like surrounding the Eagles offseason, what

100
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: does this mean for AJ Brown? And does it feel

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: like the Eagles are just getting ready if you know

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: they get an offer that's good enough to part ways

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: with one of the top receivers in AJ Brown.

104
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: Well, so it's important to know kind of like the

105
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: timeline and everything that would have that happens with AJ Brown.

106
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: So the Eagles cannot if they trained AJ Brown before

107
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: June first, yea, that they will be hamstrung with a

108
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: bunch of dead money. It doesn't save them as much

109
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: off the cap anything like that. However, June's second hits

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: and if you trade DJ Brown there is a bunch

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: of cap savings to be had. And from all the

112
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: reporting that has come out of Philadelphia and people are

113
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: in and around the Eagles organization, they view Devonte Smith

114
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: as a guy that can be their number one receiver.

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: They look a lot at what Seattle did last year

116
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: getting rid of dk Metcalf for the season that gave Jackson,

117
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba a chance to and be the number

118
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: one the number one guy. They really believe that Devonte

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: Smith is that guy that you can give one hundred

120
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: and fifty targets to every season, and if he's your

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: number one receiver, then AJ Brown becomes a little redundant. Simultaneously,

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: there are reports coming out about AJ Brown not being happy,

123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: hasn't been happy quite some time, like the body language sports, and.

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: Like you've been following the Eagles, and you like, yeah,

125
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: if you're in on energy on teams, and we already

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: know vibes are off in Philly, but his vibe has

127
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: been off for a bit for.

128
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: For years at this point, and he likes he you know,

129
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: wants more targets. He wants to have more of the

130
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: lion's share. He wants to have more autonomy over what

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: his role is in this Eagles offense, which hasn't happened

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: now and and now the Eagles are going through yet

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: another offensive coordinator change or play caller change. Jalen Hurts

134
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: has had a different offensive play caller every single year

135
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: that he's been in.

136
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: The league wild and you have to take that into

137
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: consideration too, Like that is crazy.

138
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 4: That is crazy.

139
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: So there's always some type of change that is and

140
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: for AJ Brown, I think that's like that their offense

141
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: just doesn't really give way to a J. Brown's skill set.

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: He's a really good separator in space. He really can

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: get those yards after the catch, but you have to

144
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: throw over the middle of the field to him. And

145
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: guess what, Jalen Hurts doesn't really do you doesn't really

146
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: throw over the middle of the field. So he doesn't

147
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: feel like he's being maximized in this offense. And that's

148
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: been blatantly apparent for more than one season at this point.

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: And now the Eagles have a real benefit to parting

150
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: ways with him. And at the end of the day,

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: AJ Brown is still one of the best receivers in

152
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: the NFL. Anybody is going to want his services. So

153
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: now you have an opportunity, if you're the Eagles, to

154
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: trade AJ Brown post June one and get something back

155
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: for him and offload you know that contract, Like there's

156
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: there's a lot there's a lot, and you can save

157
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: some money off the cap. Like there's a lot that

158
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: The one thing that the Eagles can't do though, is

159
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: really do anything before the draft. So nothing that they

160
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: will would do with aj Brown right now could benefit

161
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: this year's draft. But that's why you see them go

162
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: out and get someone like don tap Penwick's who I

163
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: covered him pretty closely in Green Bay and he's not

164
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: you know, he's not the wide wide receiver one by

165
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination. But there were there were

166
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: a few times where, like especially there was like last season,

167
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: a lot of Green Bay receivers were hurt. It was

168
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: kind of a revolving door. It's kind of the issue

169
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: of that was part of the issue with that offense

170
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: this past year. And Dontavian Wicks came through. He's been

171
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: a little inconsistent because there were also some drops that

172
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 3: he had that were just like my numbing but at

173
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: the same time yards, Yeah, but they came. He was

174
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: he was a rotational player in a pretty deep wide

175
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: receiver room. The green Bay kind of tried to live

176
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: off the we have so many options, who are we

177
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: going to throw the ball to? And like that ended

178
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: up just kind of confusing them with Jordan Love getting

179
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: injured and this that the other. But I do think

180
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: that there's something with don Tavin Wicks as in like

181
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: he's he can be a really good player if you

182
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: kind of define his role a little bit more. And

183
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: I think that the Eagles have room to now do that.

184
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: But you look at this Eagles wide receiver room and

185
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: you're like, all right, there's too many guys like you.

186
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: And if you believe in DeVante Smith to be your

187
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: number one wide receiver.

188
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: Right now, it's wide receiver one A, one B with

189
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: Smith and Brown.

190
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: And if you can, you know, if you can give

191
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: DeVante Smith more of the workload and to make up

192
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: for A. J. Brown's absence under this new offense under

193
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: Shawn Mannion, which we've also heard reported, there's going to

194
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: be some you know, some different, some wrinkles to this

195
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: offense that Jalen Hurts hasn't historically done. So maybe that

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: is throwing over the middle of field. Maybe AJ Brown

197
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: would want to stay there in that case, No, I

198
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: don't think so, but yeah, it's going to be a

199
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: very I've talked to people that cover the Eagles and

200
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: blatantly asked them, is Aj Brown an Eagle on June second,

201
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: and they're.

202
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: Like no, no, So okay, So I also believe he's

203
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: on the mood. So realistically, where do we see him

204
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: landing teams we've heard mentioned? Big one obviously the Patriots.

205
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: They released Stefan Diggs, who was their top wide receiver

206
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: had over a thousand yards. So the Patriots just got

207
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: their booties handed to them in the Super Bowl. Need

208
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: a number one wide receiver. The added level here is

209
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: a G. Brown played for Mike Rabel and the Titans.

210
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: So Rabel, I think drafted him. He knows what he's

211
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: getting into with him. Question here is can aj fit

212
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: into the Patriot Way? Because there is a different culture there, right,

213
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: it is.

214
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: But it's a little more approachable now that Rabel's in charge.

215
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: It's not the it's not the Bill Belichick Patriots. Like,

216
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: there is still the Patriot Way because Rabel was molded

217
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: by the Patriot Way when he was player for the

218
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: New England Patriots. Fair, but this is a much more

219
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: approachable version of the New England Patriots now under Mike Rable.

220
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 3: Like he is not Bill Belichick and he is I

221
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: mean he's headbutting his guys without helmet on. You know,

222
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: like he's like he's he's a.

223
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: Player's coach, vibes, vibes.

224
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: And you know he's getting his you know, he's putting

225
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: his hand in the dirt, going against his offensive lineman

226
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: and like I've seen him do it when we had

227
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: joint practice with them, when I was with the Bucks

228
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: and he was with the Titans. It's why everybody loves him.

229
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: So it's a much more approachable version of the Patriot way.

230
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: I won't say that it's not the Patriot way anymore,

231
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: but I don't think that that's something that would give

232
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: any guy's hesitation, especially when you see that they did

233
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: make it to the super Bowl last year. So there's

234
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: still a winning culture and winning cures all when it

235
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: comes to the NFL. So even if it's maybe not

236
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: as fun or loose or whatever as maybe other teams are,

237
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: if there's results and you win, that's what these guys

238
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: are after, especially if you're if you become a focal

239
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: point of that offense, which A J. Brown absolutely would.

240
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: We can very number one, he'd have a very talented

241
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 3: young quarterback in Drake May throwing to him. I mean,

242
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: Drake's got a cannon so like you can get the

243
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: ball to him over the middle of the field, and

244
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: you can get it to him down the field and

245
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: it fits I I there there was some talk about

246
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: the Rams kind of inquiring about AJ Brown as well,

247
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: because they also thought that they might part ways with

248
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams.

249
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: That doesn't seem but the Puka drama too, there's.

250
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: A lot of that where you might have to insulate

251
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: against Puka Nakua and some of his off field issues.

252
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: The other one that I think is a really interesting

253
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: kind of pairing is the Baltimore Ravens because they still

254
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: need they would they could still use another number one

255
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: wide receiver. A. J. Brown was also college teammates with

256
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: Derrek Henry. Derek Henry has been about the fact that

257
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: he's trying to recruit him. I didn't even think they're

258
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: both Alabama boys, so that that to me, I think

259
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: would be interesting. And like, you know, Lamar Jackson can

260
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: sling it and he is. I mean, the only thing is.

261
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 4: I think Lamar Jackson's on approve it year.

262
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: The only thing about Baltimore to me is it's a

263
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: little too much like Philly in the sense that it's

264
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: a run first offense or an offense that at least

265
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 3: heavily features the run, which maybe limits the amount of

266
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 3: work that you're going to get as.

267
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: But then there's not as much pressure on your situation

268
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: or maybe more because you're not getting the ball thrown

269
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: to you as many times, So you got to form

270
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: when you get the ball.

271
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: Right And that's and like AJ Brown has gone through

272
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: some drop issues. Yeah, so you like, I think that's

273
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: a that's just a fun little thought exercise is to

274
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: go between some of those teams. But I think that

275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, the most likely scenario

276
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: that is that he does indeed go to New England

277
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: if in fact gets straded.

278
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, what about what about the Bills quarterback like

279
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: Josh Allen deserves to have a star wide receiver.

280
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: They have DJ Moore.

281
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can be their number one if needed, but

282
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: I feel like he would really thrive as a number two.

283
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: So DJ is great in the sense. So obviously he

284
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: was with the Bears and I could cover him very closely.

285
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 3: I've watched every single game of his for the last

286
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 3: few years. He is and Ben Jonson talked to us

287
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: about about this before the trade went down, even just

288
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: about how DJ is one of the smartest guys on

289
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: the field. He knows every single receiver's role on any

290
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 3: given play. He can play all of them. He can

291
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: play all across the formation, and that's really great in

292
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: a to have. I think, but I don't think you

293
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: don't think he's a Number one, like I don't think

294
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: he's No.

295
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 4: One, and the Bills, I don't got to do something.

296
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: I really think the Bills need, especially because DJ is

297
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 3: He's not one of those guys that's going to go

298
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: up and get those like contested fifty to fifty balls.

299
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: He's not an overly big, aggressive receiver. You need like

300
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: that true outside guy. DJ is like all over the field,

301
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: all different kinds of routes, Like you can get really

302
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: creative with him. He's come out of the backfield. He's

303
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: done a bunch of stuff. He's quick, he's fast, he's

304
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: you know, he can get separation when he needs to.

305
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: But he's not the guy that's going to jump up

306
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: for those you know, fades down the sideline. You need

307
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: a superstar, you need you just need a big, bigger dude,

308
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: quite honestly, and you need an actual like X receiver

309
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: because that is not DJ. And I really want that

310
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen too, so I see that. Yeah, I

311
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: could see that too. I still think that New England

312
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: kind of has the edge there, but given the familiarity,

313
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: especially with Rabel. But yeah, Bill, I wouldn't be bad

314
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: at the Bills. I wouldn't be bad at the Bills

315
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: as an AJ Brown trade partner, which is wild.

316
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: So okay, these are all.

317
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Like great teams to end up at for AJ Brown.

318
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: I just want to go back to the Rams o

319
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: for a second. So we kind of glossed over that,

320
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: and I just want your take on since we're talking

321
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: wide receivers and everything there, right, because they still had

322
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: Davante Ad He's on the last year of his contract

323
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: older side thirty three. But the Puka though you wouldn't

324
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: know it, No, he had it. But I feel like

325
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: that's what the Rams do, Like players go to the

326
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: Rams and elevate their game like it's it's an It's

327
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: like a he wasn't having obviously, I don't want to

328
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: say he wasn't having a bad situation, but like it

329
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: wasn't a great situation.

330
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: When he came from the Raiders, so it got much better.

331
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: But the Puka situation here right, he checked himself into rehab.

332
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: I feel like this was a pr move.

333
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was another way that you could have played.

334
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was this was it. I mean this his

335
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: behavior is costing him millions of dollars. Regardless of what

336
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: happens after, it's already cost him millions of dollars. And

337
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: the Rams are big on character, which is why they're

338
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: having issues with Puco, which is why they invest in

339
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: the person as much as they do, as the player

340
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: would the Rams, with all the A. G. Brown stuff,

341
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: would they want to invest in a person like that,

342
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: just with like kind of like the they've seen kind

343
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: of a little bit of drama and him speaking out

344
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: on situations with the team and calling people out, Like

345
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: is that even something that they would I mean, you kind.

346
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: Of get the K and a lot of wide receivers

347
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: as it is. I don't I don't find A. J.

348
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: Brown particularly egregious when it comes to I think he's

349
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: been in some situations that you know, he's got an ego.

350
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: Everybody we know that a lot of.

351
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: Receivers that's wide receiver one right right to the territory.

352
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: That is when you talk about guys that have egos,

353
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: I mean receivers got to be like first on your list.

354
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean maybe quarterbacks, but that's I think. I don't

355
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: think there's anything there that is really that far out

356
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: of the realm of what you would expect of a

357
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: guy that expects a lot of himself too. I mean,

358
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: a Brown is acting out is because he wants more work,

359
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: he wants to be featured more, and that's going to

360
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 3: come with any guy that has any sort of pride

361
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: or confidence in himself. Do I think like it gets

362
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: old after a while and can kind of, you know,

363
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: rub off in the wrong way on a locker room. Absolutely,

364
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: But again you talk about the structure that is in

365
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: LA already, especially with Stafford still at the helm. I

366
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: think a presence like that too, and a guy that

367
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: has that track record and has a history of winning

368
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: is something that, you know, it really kind of squashes

369
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: any of those maybe, Like I don't want to say characteries,

370
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: and I don't even think it's character issues. I just

371
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: think it's like those egos. It's like you walk into

372
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: that locker room and Matthew Stafford's your quarterback, and Stafford's

373
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 3: telling you to stand down. What are you going to say?

374
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: You know?

375
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: I mean like like they all have cha championship, you know,

376
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 3: experience in their resume. But Matthew Stafford's been in the

377
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: league a long time and he's a very very well

378
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: respected veteran and as long as he's still at the

379
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: Helm there, I think like that culture and that locker

380
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: room belongs to him, and you can kind of trust

381
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford to keep a cap on stuff like that.

382
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: I just got to say, aj Brown, like, count your

383
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: blessings because no matter like every team that we've mentioned

384
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: right now is a winning culture team, even if he

385
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: ends up just staying on the Eagles, that's a winning

386
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: culture team. Patriots they were just in the Super Bowl.

387
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: Rams recent Super Bowl champs, Bills, you got Josh Allen,

388
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: like they're Ravens. As you mentioned, like, count your blessings. Okay,

389
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: because it's sounding like no matter where you end up,

390
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be someplace great. Okay, We're gonna take

433
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: legitimate like counter argument, is something I said, please different?

434
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: Okay, that's different though, that's like a debate.

435
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: A debate's different.

436
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: I'm totally good with like constructive.

437
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: That's fine, that's fine. Okay.

438
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: Master's Weekend. You've been watching, it's been like a Rory

439
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: McElroy show. He had the largest thirty six hole lead

440
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: in Master's history yesterday, and you can tell he's just

441
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: kind of playing with a different level of freedom. He's

442
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: kind of he's trying to become just the fourth golfer

443
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: to win back to back at Augusta. It's been twenty

444
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: four years since someone has gone back to back. Tiger

445
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: Woods was the last in two thousand and one, in

446
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, and then the last ones were

447
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: in eighty nine, ninety.

448
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 4: Sixty five, and sixty six.

449
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: So it's been I'm just kidding.

450
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: I was finding I know, thirty plus years ago.

451
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: Also, this just happened. Shane Lowry hole in one on

452
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: the sixth hole. Yeah, this, he went from six under

453
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: to eight under, which.

454
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: Oh I see this.

455
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: He was tied. He's right below sixth for second after

456
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: the sixth hole. He's the seventh all time hole in

457
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: one on the hole in one.

458
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: How am I not?

459
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: That sixth hole is like it's a short. I think

460
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: it's a Part three or something like that. And so

461
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: he went from six he went from six under to

462
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: eight under.

463
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: Can you imagine at the Masters hitting.

464
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: All in one and like there has Like I don't

465
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: know that there's anything more you for it? Have you

466
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: ever witnessed one?

467
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 2: We were covering an angel's celebrity golf tournament. I think

468
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: it was Albert Poohle's and another guy. We caught two

469
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: hole in ones on camera that day.

470
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: That's fun.

471
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: I don't even know, Like it's just we used to.

472
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: I used to help out with a SU golf because

473
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: ASU has a phenomenal golf program. Okay, so I worked

474
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: for the athletic department and so like sometimes I'd get

475
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: sent out to do the golf tournaments, which I loved

476
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: because I just got to like go in the clubhouse,

477
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: eat goat cheese, and then drive the golf rounds. Thank you.

478
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I saw I saw my fair share

479
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: because like ASU has produced some incredible golfers, Like golfers

480
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: that like are ranked like World Junior Champions, end up

481
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: coming to a SU because they have such a good

482
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: golf program. Phil Nicholson is a a SU alone, so

483
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: he didn't I don't think he graduated. But I still

484
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: claim him. That's fine. I don't know if I still

485
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 3: want to claim him these days. But you know, great golfer.

486
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: I'm just gone, I missed the hole in one?

487
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: Can I do Yeah, I'm talking about can I get

488
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: the masters put in front of me so it's not

00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 2: off to the side so I can see it.

490
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: Happened like right before we got on air. So okay,

491
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: like I haven't miss it. Yeah, I think it happened

492
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: like a few minutes right before we got on air.

493
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: I was like, fair, I had it on. I had

494
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: it on in the office. Have you ever been to

495
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: the Masters? No? I want to go. I think it'd

496
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,040

00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: most like sleek new golf lines, Malbyn.

00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: these masters.

525
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 5: Roy's still in the lead right now.

Speaker 8: Sam Burns standing by himself a fifth at at eight under,

535
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 8: Scottie Scheffler seven under. He finished today at sixty five

536
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 8: and people have been losing their minds over his round

537
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 8: today on social media. He was on fire and it

538
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 8: may not be enough for him to come back and

539
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 8: win it, but yesterday, Yeah, a wild day today for him.

540
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball, the Tigers beat the Marlins six to one.

542
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 8: home run of the season. Bryce Harper and Coylee Hober

543
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 8: both went yard as the Phillies beat the Diamondbacks four

544
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 8: to three.

545
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 5: The Twins lead the Blue Jay seven to two, and

546
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 5: the sixth the Pittsburgh leads the Cubs three to two.

547
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 8: In the eighth, the Mets have with the one nothing

548
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 8: lead over the A's and the second inning. Elsewhere in

549
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball, let's kid here, a bunch of games

550
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 8: just started. The Reds having won nothing lead over the Angels,

551
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 8: and the White Sox.

552
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 5: And Royals are in a rain delight.

553
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 8: In the NHL, the Capitals lead the Penguins three to

554
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 8: one in the second period, Edmonton and the Kings of

00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 8: Los Angeles with a one nothing lead eight minutes left

Speaker 3: What are you doing with that much weed that you're

00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: actually into? Although I don't it's legal in Texas.

566
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: Yea, oh it's belt that's just so yeah, that's wild

567
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: to me.

568
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: As a they got a lot of weird laws and

569
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: a lot of weird drug laws. I know Illinois it's

570
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: recreationally legal too, so we're like wild.

571
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: All right, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday with I

572
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: was scurrying Carmen vitally. It is time for our first guest.

573
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: Let's welcome NBA analyst Mark Medina. Thanks for joining the show.

574
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 9: Alex Charmon, thanks for having me. Happy fun sports weekend

575
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 9: and coach a weekend.

576
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: That's right. I can't believe weekend.

577
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 4: I was going to wait to talk about that next hour.

578
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: My lord, my little hippie heart.

579
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: Years flying by?

580
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 7: Is it really?

581
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: Is it really hippy anymore?

582
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm gonna we'll talk about next hour. I'll

583
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: explain to you what it used to be. Well, yeah,

584
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: when we used to go. But Mark, we've heard you.

585
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you spend a lot of time around the Lakers.

586
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: We've heard JJ Reddick talk this week that teams are

587
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: circling the Lakers. They want to play the banged up

588
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Lakers in the playoffs. Do you think they have any

589
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: chance in the postseason without a healthy Luca.

590
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 9: Well, I don't think they have any chance to win

591
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 9: a championship without a healthy Luca, but they could win

592
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 9: a first round series even when accounting the fact that

593
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 9: Bustin Rives will likely be out. The Houston Rockets if

594
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 9: they face them, they have been on a role recently.

595
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 9: You can ever discount Kevin Durant. Emyodok is a great coach,

596
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 9: but we've seen that that team is very inconsistent, especially

597
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 9: with their young players. Minnesota, Yeah, they had their number

598
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 9: last season, but the Lakers have won the regular season matchup.

599
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 9: There are injury concerns about that team, and Edwards gets

600
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 9: up for big games, but the rest of the roster

601
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 9: has a checkered record with doing that. So there is

602
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 9: a pathway for the Lakers to survive for the first round.

603
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 9: It helps that they have home court advantage, but it

604
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 9: is going to be a slog. We've seen Lebron James

605
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 9: do magnificent things in his career, right, so this isn't

606
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 9: new for him, but the context is new. Forty one

607
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 9: years old having that kind of workload. He's shown in

608
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 9: the short term he can do it. Playoff series maybe,

609
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 9: but it's tough to really guarantee because of the Lakers

610
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 9: supporting task and how inconsistent they've been. But look, last

611
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 9: two games at least a step in the right direction.

612
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 3: It's fun looking at the top of the Western Conference.

613
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: Spurs three game win streak, Nuggets eleven game win streak.

614
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 3: I mean, both these teams are surging. I still haven't

615
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: caught the thunder though. Between those teams. Do we lose Mark?

616
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 4: Do we loose Mark either?

617
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: Oh?

618
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Okay, try and back, all right, that's what anytime you

619
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: say thunder, I just have that Oh my gosh, who

620
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: sings a song thunder Thunder?

621
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 3: Oh see, I always go to thunderstruck, especially because we're

622
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: just talking about the Cowboys.

623
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 4: Oh, there's actually good ones, Chris.

624
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: Can we get some good thunder songs and we come

625
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: back from breaks today now that we're talking about is that?

626
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 3: Is that not sacrilegious for you, Alex, because they're such

627
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: a Lakers fan. And what do you mean, because like

628
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: the Thunder are leading to the conference.

629
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: Pal it was Mike Trout's walk up song for years,

630
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: So like that's what I think about.

631
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: We got Mark back, I got you.

632
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 9: You can hear me.

633
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Army started over again.

634
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: I was talking about the top of the Western Conference

635
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: when you look at I mean the Thunder of lost

636
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: one last they lost their last game, but Spurs three

637
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: game win streak, Nuggets eleven game win streak. At this point,

638
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: these two are surging, Like all three of these guys

639
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: are just kind of surging into the postseason. How do

640
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: you see this kind of shaking out? And is this

641
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: still the Thunders conference? Is this still the thunders championship

642
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: to lose? Yeah?

643
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 9: I think it is. I mean, assuming no major injuries

644
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 9: with these teams, you can't ever guarantee it in the playoffs,

645
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 9: but assuming all things being equal, I think the Thunder

646
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 9: have the edge. They have the number one seed. I

647
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 9: remember talking to some of the people on the team

648
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 9: this week and Alex Caruser Shagulders I was and they

649
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 9: mentioned how important it is to have the number one

650
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: seed because of last year they had a Game seven

651
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 9: in the NBA Finals and that wound up playing to

652
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 9: their advantage. Yes, Tyris Chyldbert and also got hurt, but

653
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 9: through the course of the entire postseason, them having home

654
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 9: court help, so I think in this case it's the same.

655
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 9: The Spurds will tell you that the inexperience is overrated

656
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 9: because they have veteran players on their team. They're a defensive, elite,

657
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 9: elite team. But I just think tactically speaking, the Thunder

658
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 9: have more mescle memory and they just have so much depth.

659
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 9: They have too many wings to count for, and that

660
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 9: is a huge X factor in playoff series because you

661
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 9: need to have guys that can at least wear down,

662
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 9: slow things down, make things difficult for opposing team's top scores.

663
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 9: And the Nuggets, look, you can't ever discount Nakologa veron

664
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 9: eleven game winningstry Jamal Murray's finally healthy, but they've had

665
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 9: a lot of comminuity issues that the rest of their

666
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 9: supporting casts with chemistry and injuries. So I do think

667
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 9: that the order is what their standings are. Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets,

668
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 9: But if you flip any of the order, I'm not

669
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 9: going to be surprised. I just won't expect it.

670
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: I think it's funny. It just real quick because like

671
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: Nikolay Kitsch is just basically like every casual NBA fan

672
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: in that he doesn't lock in until it's playoff time

673
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: and he's just like, I don't actually care about this sport,

674
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: I just want to get back to my horses, and

675
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 3: he's just he's such a casual basketball fan that happens

676
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: to be one of the ones of the grass.

677
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 9: Well, it's it's funny, carbon Alex for someone who apparently

678
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 9: isn't locked into basketball and just cares about his horses,

679
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 9: he averages a triple double still, So yeah, he is amazing.

680
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: He actually loved basketball.

681
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.

682
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 9: Kind of what I've gathered with Yokich is he's kind

683
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 9: of been like Clay Thompson during his glorios with the

684
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 9: Warriors were each year, I think they're leading more and

685
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 9: more into like that that persona they have of being

686
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 9: aloof and kind of goofy, and then it just becomes

687
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 9: a cartoon version of what that actual personality is. So yeah,

688
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 9: he is aloof. He can be a little carefree, but

689
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 9: I know from talking to people in the nuggets that

690
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 9: he very much cares about his craft. He's very disciplined

691
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 9: about it. Their training staff of raves about how just

692
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 9: locked in he is with every single part of the regiment,

693
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 9: with pre postgame workouts, dieting, etc. Like this guy cares

694
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 9: a lot, he just kind of acts like he doesn't love.

695
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: So I want to go.

696
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: To the opposite end of the spectrum here, because tanking

697
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: has been a major conversation in the NBA, especially down

698
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: this final stretch. Do you actually think it's an issue

699
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: that can be fixed.

700
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question. It's certainly an issue. Can

701
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 9: it be fixed? I don't think it's always about mitigating

702
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 9: the severity of it. Well, they mitigated with play tournament,

703
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 9: but all that's done is make taking even more extreme

704
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 9: for the teams that are really bad. So what's the

705
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 9: solution moving forward? Maybe you know, I'm not of the

706
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 9: culture of hey, everyone gets a trophy, et cetera. But

707
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 9: if you expand the plane, maybe even to two extra teams,

708
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 9: that can reduce a little bit. But I think the

709
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 9: bigger thing is they got to do away with all

710
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 9: these lottery odds. They've tried to weait it, flatten it,

711
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 9: teams are still tanking it. I think that you can't

712
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 9: reward teams unless there is an exception, like you know,

713
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 9: Tyres Holburn's injury with Indiana. If there's a repeat team

714
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 9: that is at the bottom of the standings, you're not

715
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 9: guaranteed you won't get a top pick, and that might

716
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 9: dissuade teams from doing it, while also giving teams that

717
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 9: are struggling for legitimate reasons injuries or they're just young,

718
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 9: a chance to rebuild. I mean, even in today's NBA

719
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 9: with teams being very wealthy and transaction heavy with free agency,

720
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 9: the biggest thing is to develop through the drafts, so

721
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 9: you can't take that away, but that they have to

722
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 9: remove the incentive. So I think if they do away

723
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 9: with the draft entirely and make it free agency, that

724
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 9: could be fine because of the Nile era we're in.

725
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 9: But if they're not, they should at least not have

726
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 9: repeat top draft picks for you know, teams in consecutive years.

727
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: We should just have relegation in the NBA, you have

728
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: to go down to the I don't.

729
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 9: Think it'll happen, but I think it's a good idea,

730
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 9: but there's too many moving parts.

731
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wild. Mark, thank you so much for joining us.

732

00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 3: That's the least shocking thing I've He's in the scene's

00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 3: if you go to USC like there was also and

939

944
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 2: there's actually I think it's still up on YouTube. I

945
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: did like a come with me to Coachella one weekend,

946
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 2: like I think my second year going when I was

947
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: camping and did the whole behind the scenes thing. I

948
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: mean it was magical. I called it like Christmas Morning

949
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: for adults. Like what it used to be was so

950
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 2: rad and I found so many amazing new artists that

951
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: I fell in love with. It's different, it's completely different now.

952
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: It's completely different now. But I love music. It is

953
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: not a place like I love music. I'm just not

954
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: a festival first like that.

955
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: I yeah, no, not anymore now.

956
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be like, am I backstage? Am I backstage?

957
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: Or in VIP then I'll go yeah, like do.

958
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: I get a golf cart? It doesignate a golf cart?

959
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone going to take me places? That's cool. Okay.

960
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: We're also officially twelve days away from the NFL Draft,

961
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: a day where childhood dreams come true, lives are changed

962
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: forever now. Besides the crazy prep that goes into it,

963
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 2: all the mock drafts are shows that are talking about

964
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: it constantly.

965
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 4: Who's Gonna Go Where?

966
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things Karmi is watching the faces

967
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: of these kids when their name gets called, knowing that

968
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 2: like all of their hard work is paid off. But

969
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: also now like the real dream begins, and it is

970
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: just it's just magical. There's something magical about it.

971
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 3: It's it's like a. It's so unique because it's an

972
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: accomplishment in and of itself to be drafted, right Yeah,

973
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 3: but it also is like the door to so many

974
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: possibilities that are still just possibilities at this point. Right.

975
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 3: So it's just kind of a very unique dynamic of like, Wow,

976
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: I got drafted and that's so cool, and that's such

977
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: a big accomplishment no matter where you're drafted. Yeah, but

978
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: then it's also just like the gateway into Wow, now

979
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to start my NFL career and the fsabilities

980
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: are endless. Yeah, and this is what you work so

981
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: hard for. It's crazy.

982
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy in that sense where it's like,

983
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: oh my god, I did it. I reached my goal,

984
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: and it's like no, no, no, no.

985
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 3: It's beginning and you really don't know how. You still

986
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 3: don't know how it's going to turn out, no matter

987
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 3: where you're drafted. Also, so I mean, we have brock

988
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 3: Perty signing a close to sixty million dollars contract as

989
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 3: the guy there was let that be last in the draft,

990
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 3: uh huh. Yeah, It's it's wide open and we love

991
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: football from that.

992
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: I love that.

993
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 2: So let's start with the team who has like the

994
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: number one overall pick because the Raiders quarterback room, I

995
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 2: feel like the move they made last week will solidify

996
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: this franchise and its future. Signing Kirk Cousins, I think

997
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: was the perfect move. We kind of we talked about

998
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: it a bit last week, but we all know and

999
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: love Kirk Cousins. Like we all got to see how

1000
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: humble and respectful and hard working he is on those

1001
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 2: Netflix quarterback documentaries. We had him on our Super Bowl show.

1002
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 2: He's just like a nerdy, down to earth rad dad

1003
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: and it's the perfect He is the perfect mentor for

1004
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: a team that is drafting the future of their franchise.

1005
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: With the number one overall pick in Fernando Mendoza, we

1006
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 2: all know.

1007
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: Who he is.

1008
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: What we've seen, we know who he is, and he's

1009
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 2: just a family man who loves his teammates. He loves

1010
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: his family. We saw it as Pro Day. He was

1011
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: calling out his routes before he threw them so his

1012
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 2: receivers could get praise for what they were doing. These

1013
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: two guys in Vegas are exactly what you want. We

1014
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: heard from Kirk this week. He's already in the Raiders facility.

1015
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: He's watching film, he said when Fernando came in for.

1016
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 4: His draft day. He's already watching Raiders film, which.

1017
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: Like, is that normal? Is that?

1018
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I don't know, but is that normal?

1019
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 3: And when you're in a situation like that, we know

1020
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 3: where you're here. So much about so much about this

1021
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: whole pre draft process when it comes to Fernanda Mendoza

1022
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: and the Raiders has reminded me of Kayleb Williams and

1023
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 3: the Bears last year or two years ago, where you know,

1024
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 3: there's there's been like little talk and stuff of black

1025
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: is is it worth trading down and out of the

1026
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: number one overall spots for Vegas or whatever? And I'm

1027
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 3: just like, this process is too long, there's too much time.

1028
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 3: Don't like any it's been. It's been really funny because

1029
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: all of the signs pointed to Kayleb Williams going to

1030
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 3: the Bears, and he did go to the Bears. He

1031
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 3: was the only visit he took. Same thing with Brnanda Mendoza.

1032
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 3: The only visit he is taking is to the Las

1033
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders. And I just you don't overthink it when

1034
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 3: he is by far and away the number one quarterback

1035
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 3: in this class, in a class that isn't great as

1036
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 3: far as quarterback prospects go, you would least have a

1037
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 3: number one. And if you're the Las Vegas Raiders, you

1038
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: need the future of your franchise under center. And Bernanda

1039
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 3: Mendoza has shown up. I mean he completed an undefeated

1040
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 3: an undefeated season and capped it off with a national

1041
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: championship for Indiana. And if you are if you grew

1042
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: up around the Midwest, you know how sad that sounds.

1043
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 4: It doesn't happen.

1044
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: Even like four years ago, if you would have said that,

1045
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 3: people been like Indiana really and like he's just he's

1046
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 3: everything you want a quarterback to be. And he the

1047
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: only thing that is interesting to me is has Kirk

1048
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 3: Cousins Like what is going through Kirk cousins mind? So

1049
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: as far as is he just full speed ahead to

1050
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 3: a mentor like he recognizes his role and whatever, because

1051
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: that's not the Kirk that I know. Either he still

1052
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 3: thinks he's a starter and could he still start the season. Sure,

1053
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 3: and then they like bring Fernando Mendozo along. But also

1054
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 3: when you invest one one in a player, do you

1055
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: really want to sit him for any amount of that

1056
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 3: rookie contract? It's hard to do as an organization, and

1057
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm very interested to see how this all pans out

1058
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 3: between the two of them, because I don't think that

1059
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 3: it's super cut and dry right now.

1060
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 4: No, okay, but I will say so.

1061
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 2: Kirk talked this week and what he said, I think

1062
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 2: is a great beginning. He said, I think the best

1063
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: quarterback should start. If that ends up being Fernando, that's Fernando.

1064
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: So Kirk is going to be I feel like the

1065
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 2: best big brother mentor there for him.

1066
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 4: He's accepting this mentorship role.

1067
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: And it's different this time around for Kirk because he's

1068
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: going into this knowing his role, like he there is a.

1069
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 4: Very strong chance that he could be the starter.

1070
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: He knows he's not the future, but it gives me

1071
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: hope that he's kind of changing that perspective because I read.

1072
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 3: Into that quote completely differently because Kirk is such a

1073
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: competitor that he I think by he.

1074
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 2: Was still going to compete and he's a starter.

1075
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 3: I was saying that he thinks he's better than Fernando

1076
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 3: Mendoza because Fernanda Mendoza is young.

1077
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: I mean he is, and he has more experience, but

1078
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 2: he's also like he's not the same Kirk pre injury,

1079
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: pre Achilles in again.

1080
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 3: But like you have to think, is he that self aware?

1081
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 3: And I don't know the answer to that. That's that's why.

1082
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 3: That's why I mean, but what just happened in Atlanta

1083
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: when they gave him the one hundred plus million dollar

1084
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: contract and then turned around and drafted Michael Pennix, Kirk

1085
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 3: was crushed.

1086
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pearl was a different situation. No one saw that coming.

1087
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: He was brought in you are the future, you or

1088
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: who we are investing in. I don't think that shocked

1089
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: everybody that they went and got a quarterback that high.

1090
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 2: I mean, coming into this situation knowing they are taking

1091
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick in Fernando Mendoza. He is

1092
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 2: the future. Kirk is coming in as a mentorship, possible

1093
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 2: bridge situation if they need him to get Fernando ready.

1094
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: So it's just it's I feel like it's completely different.

1095
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: The way he's talking about it and going about it

1096
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 2: feels different from Kirk right now and the time.

1097
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 3: I just I think that, you know, I'm very interested

1098
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 3: to see how it all plays out. That's all because

1099
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that cut and dry. I think

1100
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 3: Kirk really thinks that he should be the one what you.

1101
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: Should, but you should like if you're a competitor, and

1102
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: like there they are.

1103
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 3: Going to Vegas as like a redemption because he didn't

1104
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 3: have the best year last year and like he's coming

1105
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: off the injury. Like I think he's you. He wants

1106
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 3: vague is to be his like, hey, look I'm still good,

1107
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 3: I'm still a starter. And that's why how to just

1108
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: he's thirty four, thirty five, okay, because I think he's

1109
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 3: he's he was in college at the same time.

1110
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 4: Why I was, why do I think he's like thirty eight.

1111
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 3: Everything, has a bunch of kids, and he's a dad

1112
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 3: and he does he does hair like super cuts commercials

1113
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 3: or hair cuttering commercials, whatever the hell it is. Yeah, yeah,

1114
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: Like I mean, he a lot of these guys. It's

1115
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 3: so funny, Like that was something that you get really

1116
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 3: privy to when you work inside of the building, where

1117
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: like some of these guys who are like twenty four

1118
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 3: to twenty five have full fledged families, they're married, Like

1119
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: they grow up so much faster because they're handed this

1120
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 3: responsibility so much earlier in their.

1121
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 4: Locks representing a million dollars and like.

1122
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean I have guys that are that are retiring

1123
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 3: in their early thirties, Like when you're retirement age is

1124
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: early thirties, like you just everything kind of gets sped up.

1125
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean we did hear Raiter's head

1126
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: coach Clint Kobi xa Deally don't want Fernando to start

1127
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 2: day one. You'd loved him to be able to learn somebody,

1128
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 2: and that's in like a perfect world. It doesn't always

1129
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 2: work out that day, but now they have that person

1130
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 2: that it could possibly happen. So it's gonna be really

1131
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: interesting to see how this all plays out. But I

1132
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: have another question about Fernando because it was reported a

1133
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: couple of days ago that Mendoza is actually not going

1134
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 2: to attend the draft in person. He's going to watch

1135
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: at home with his family and his friends in Miami.

1136
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 2: And I don't have a problem with this. I know

1137
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people have kind of gone different ways,

1138
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 2: but Fernando's a guy that's all about his family. I

1139
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 2: think his mom is it ms that she has and

1140
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: it's probably easier for her not to travel. I mean,

1141
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 2: she was at all of his college games, and it

1142
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: looked like Indiana helped accommodate every possible way they could,

1143
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: and I'm sure the draft would as well in the

1144
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: NFL would, but the focus is being great at his

1145
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: job and being a family guy, and so this is

1146
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: very on brand for him. The draft is it's for us,

1147
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 2: it's a TV spectacle for the fans. It's not for him.

1148
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 2: What's he missing hugging Roger Goodell.

1149
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting too because Miami, I mean, other than

1150
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 3: also being the place that like he grew up in

1151
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: his family place from there, like there have been like

1152
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: Miami is such a special place for so many reasons.

1153
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 3: He won a national championship in Miami, like he like,

1154
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 3: this is one of those things where you're like, like

1155
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: it's just kind of a Kismet storybook situation where it

1156
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: like all roads kind of lead back to Miami for him,

1157
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 3: and so of course he would want to do this

1158
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 3: at home or surrounded by his family and like, especially

1159
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 3: when there's no guesswork involved. What I think is actually

1160
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: interesting is that ty Simpson is going at the draft

1161
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 3: and he is not a first round lock. He no,

1162
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 3: he's not, And I'm like, this is this is where

1163
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 3: you can kind of like risk get in your heart broken.

1164
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 3: Is if you show up to the draft and you're

1165
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 3: not You're not chosen on night one, and like so

1166
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 3: that when I saw that, I was like, so, Fernando's

1167
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 3: not showing up a ty Simpson is, and like, in

1168
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 3: all like reality, back of the first round is probably

1169
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 3: where ty Simpson could go, but he's not a first

1170
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 3: round lock at all. So I'm like, you're kind of

1171
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 3: rolling the dice here.

1172
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 2: Kid, which kind of leads us to I think our

1173
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 2: next quarterback room I want to talk about real quick,

1174
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 2: the Steelers quarterback room, because once again it's the Aaron

1175
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: Rodgers show or no show show. Still know Aaron Rodgers answer. Now,

1176
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 2: Steelers owner and Mike McCarthy were under the impression that

1177
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: Rogers was going to make a decision before the draft.

1178
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 2: They still have twelve days, but the team needs to

1179
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: make their draft plan. So like right now their quarterback

1180
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 2: room is Mason Rudolph, who would be in line to

1181
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: start if Rogers doesn't come back.

1182
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 4: He started games, he knows the team. He's not the.

1183
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 2: Future, He's not Aaron Rodgers. Will Howard their sixth round

1184
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: pick from last year. So if they don't hear from Rogers,

1185
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 2: will they make a move for ty Simpson? And that's

1186
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: where it gets interesting because right now, the Steelers' first

1187
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: round draft pick is number twenty one, and Ty is

1188
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 2: kind of in that weird spot where he could get

1189
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: swooped up in the first round so he could be

1190
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: available at twenty one. That kind of feels more of

1191
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 2: where he would go if he isn't.

1192
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 3: I don't think if you're the Steelers, and first of

1193
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 3: all Rogers, I will be shocked if Rogers makes a

1194
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 3: decision before the draft. He's he has not done this

1195
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: in years, and he loves to stay relevant in the

1196
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 3: media cycle. Mike McCarthy was that Owner's meetings talking about

1197
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 3: how he talks to Rogers every other day and he

1198
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 3: still has no idea what he's going to do, and

1199
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: I'm just like, this is so played out.

1200
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 4: I hate this is who he is. This is what

1201
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 4: he is is drama. Loves being to it.

1202
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 3: I hate talking about it because I'm like, there's nothing

1203
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: to talk about yet talk to people, there's something to

1204
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 3: talk about. But when it comes to the Ty Simpson question,

1205
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't think if you're the Steelers that you like

1206
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 3: like I talked, like I said, there is one number

1207
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 3: one quarterback, like there is one starting quarterback in this

1208
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 3: quarterback class that you can feel good about starting on

1209
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 3: day one, and that is Randa Mendoza. Yeah, after that,

1210
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 3: you are taking a huge risk. And ty Simpson is very,

1211
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 3: very green. He has not played a lot of football.

1212
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 3: And if you're the Steelers, you're not constructed around the

1213
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 3: quarterback anyway. That is a defensive first team, always has been,

1214
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 3: always will be for this for that matter, if you

1215
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: like yeah, and if if you're in a situation where

1216
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 3: like you still don't have an answer from Rogers, like

1217
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 3: I don't think you can feel good about going to

1218
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 3: ty Simpson where what.

1219
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 4: Would you do?

1220
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 3: Then you got to do something. So on day two

1221
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: and there's guys on even day three that I think

1222
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: like a guy like Garrett nus Meyer or Drew Aller

1223
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 3: from Penn State, like some of those guys where you

1224
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: could have them as a contingency plan and you're not

1225
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 3: investing so much in them that it matters whether or

1226
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: not Aaron Rodgers comes back. Like if Aaron Rodgers comes back,

1227
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 3: like and you think that that's what's going to happen,

1228
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 3: which it does seem like they think that's what's going

1229
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 3: to happen. Yeah, it still doesn't preclude you from taking

1230
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 3: like Garrett Nessmeyer in the third round, Like, you could

1231
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: absolutely still do that, and then if for some reason

1232
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 3: something falls through with Rogers, you could feel okay about

1233
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 3: a quarterback room made up of Mason Rudolphin, Garrett Nessmeyer,

1234
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 3: and punt to next year's quarterback draft, which should be

1235
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 3: rich and more a kid to that twenty twenty four

1236
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 3: draft where you have a lot of quarterbacks to choose from.

1237
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't see, like why you would invest a first

1238
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 3: round pick in ty Simpson when you don't think that

1239
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 3: he's actually going to be the future of your franchise.

1240
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 3: This one is not hot on ty Simpson. I thought

1241
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 3: that I'm not hot on him. I just I don't

1242
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 3: think that you should hinge. But if your entire quarterback

1243
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: plans of the future by investing a first round picking him,

1244
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: I mean and without without like, there's just so many,

1245
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 3: so many risks. There's so many risks with ty Simpson.

1246
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,959
Speaker 3: I like, he if you saw him, if you watched

1247
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 3: him last season, which I did, it was he got

1248
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 3: off to a really, really hot start, but then as

1249
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 3: teams started to figure him out and he was dealing

1250
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: with some injury and this that the other. But it

1251
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: was also that team started to figure him out and

1252
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 3: his play dropped off a cliff and this that's the

1253
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 3: only body of work that we have, and that's what

1254
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 3: I think that has so much to do with why

1255
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 3: I think he did well in the beginning of the

1256
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 3: season too, because no one had any tape on him,

1257
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: nobody knew like what his ticks were, what like how

1258
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 3: to defend him, this, that, the other, And as soon

1259
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 3: as they kind of had three four games under their belt,

1260
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 3: he was pretty easy to figure out. So I really

1261
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: think that ty Simpson, like, who do you think to

1262
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 3: go for him?

1263
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 7: Then?

1264
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 2: Because like Jack said, they're going to start Gino Smith

1265
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: Cardinals need a quarterback.

1266
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 3: Then, I honestly think I think the right call is

1267
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 3: that he goes on Day two and then.

1268
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 4: That he's showing up to the draft for one.

1269
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 3: But that's the thing is it may not happen. Quarterbacks

1270
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 3: always rise in draft. But I think when you look

1271
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 3: at his skill set and you look at the risks

1272
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,919
Speaker 3: involved in taking him, I think that everybody would have

1273
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 3: does not I don't think any teams really have a

1274
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 3: first round grade on ty Simpson. Does that mean he

1275
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: doesn't go in the first round. No, there's plenty of

1276
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 3: guys that don't have first round grades that ends up

1277
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: going in the first round. But I just I would

1278
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 3: have so many reservations about building my franchise around a

1279
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 3: guy like ty Simson.

1280
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 2: It's going to be so interesting my heart, Like, now,

1281
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 2: that's what I'm going to be freaking out about. Not

1282
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 2: who's going to take him, Like, oh my god, he's

1283
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: sitting there and it's going to be so sad if.

1284
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 3: He in the first round of somebody who knows.

1285
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: Ah, Okay, we're gonna take a quick break here when

1286
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: we come back. Can they fix the biggest issue in

1287

Speaker 3: very well known for doing their Thunderstructor team. But I

1298
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 3: went to Arizona State and this was our pregame show

1299
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,320

1300
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,200

1301
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 3: on the JumboTron of Sparky, like this giant Sparky walking

1302
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 3: through the desert in his literal new balances. It's a

1303
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 3: circle and then he stomps the bus on his way

1304
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 3: into the story. Huh see. And then when it goes

1305
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 3: like thunderstruck, like he puts the pitchfork in the middle

1306
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 3: of the field on the show and that's when all

1307
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 3: the fireworks go off, and it's like it's awesome.

1308

1338
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: finale this weekend, but the two biggest topics are the

1339
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 2: tanking issues and superstars not qualifying for season awards.

1340
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 4: So no one's talking about what's happening on the court.

1341
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 2: They're talking about the issues around it, and I'm excited

1342
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 2: because in just a few minutes we're going to have

1343
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: NBA Managing editor of The Athletic Tyler joining us Fatisse.

1344
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to hear.

1345
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 2: His thoughts on all of this because these are these

1346
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: are interesting, big issues when you have players like Luka, Doncic, Lebron, James,

1347
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, Jannis, Anthony Edwards, K. Cunningham, Jimmy Butler, John Moran, Tree, Young,

1348
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Devin Book are all not qualifying like to make all

1349
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 2: NBA teams. That is wild and that product. No, that's bad.

1350
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 2: This was this was something that they were trying to

1351
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 2: do to get control of load management because players were

1352
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: sitting out a lot. But it's something that had good

1353
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: intentions that has gone completely wrong.

1354
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 3: I've talked to Tyler about this, like a few weeks ago.

1355
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 3: I think I talked to him about this. I'm very

1356
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to get his perspective on it and

1357
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 3: have some good conversation about it because he's got he's

1358
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 3: got a good perspective on it.

1359
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, Well, first, let's check in with Martin Wise

1360
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,280

01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 3: What's going on.

1362
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 8: At the manager's Roy McRoy is still in the league,

1363
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,880

1367
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 8: Scottie Scheffer's already in the clubhouse.

1368
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 5: He shot a sixty five earlier day.

1369
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 8: He's now tied for seventh in Major League Baseball. Bottom

1370
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 8: of the tenth inning, the Pirates and the Cubs tied

1371
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,080

Speaker 3: Day's not gonna be hoped forever. Going to the extras thing.

1374
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,200

Speaker 5: had a.

1378
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 3: Good a pier sales after the seventh inning stretch. I think, so,

1379
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're how the pier snakes are faring.

1380
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 8: Bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins lead the Blue

1390
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 5: Eight minutes left in the first period.

1391
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 8: Same time left in the first period for the Blues

1392
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 8: and the Blackhawks.

1393
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 5: Blues with the one nothing lead. Six forty five left

1394
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:13,120

Speaker 8: Nashville and Minnesota scoreless, same time for Rangers and the Stars.

1396
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 8: The Hurricanes lead, the Mammoth won and nothing. Mammoth just

1397
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 8: clinched the playoff berth in their second season active ten

1398
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 8: minutes left in the first period or so there and

1399
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 8: Dufty May has agreed to a new contract extension to

1400
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 8: remain at the University of Michigan as defending national champion

1401
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 8: and men's college basketball ladies.

1402
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you, Martin. You're listening to Fox

1403
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Corey Heer with Carmen Vitali. Thank

1404
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 2: you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us, and it

1405
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 2: is time for our next guest NBA Managing editor for

1406
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 2: The Athletic, Tyler Battiz, Thanks.

1407
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 3: For joining us. Hey how are you, oh, high dealer?

1408
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Right, we were teasing conversation. I love what it's buddies.

1409
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 2: That's I could tell right there with that high time.

1410
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: What's funny is I've actually known Tyler longer than I've

1411
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 3: known my fiance, but they are best friends. So it's

1412
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 3: really funny that I've known I know both of them separately,

1413
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 3: and they are like bessies. I love it.

1414
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,439
Speaker 6: We're all one big, happy family.

1415
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 2: They're my favorite now, Tyler, we were teasing this conversation

1416
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 2: just a few minutes ago. There's been a lot of

1417
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: talk around the sixty five game rule for regular season awards,

1418
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: especially when you have some of the biggest names in

1419
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 2: the sports who have made an impact on their teams

1420
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 2: that are not going to be eligible to make all

1421
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: NBA teams.

1422
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 4: What do they need to do to change this and

1423
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 4: will they change this moving forward?

1424
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I think they're gonna have to discuss it

1425
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 6: because it's been so much of a topic of conversation

1426
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 6: over the course of this season. But it's not going

1427
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 6: to be something that's easy to fix because that that

1428
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 6: threshold is outlined in the most recent collective bargaining agreement

1429
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 6: that was you know, put into effect a couple of

1430
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 6: seasons ago, and if I'm not mistaken, you know, there's

1431
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 6: no out clause in that CBA for another three years

1432
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 6: at least two years, two to three years before they

1433
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 6: can you know, kind of go to the table and

1434
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 6: sort of discuss the whole thing. I don't know, obviously,

1435
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 6: if there's a way to just kind of talk about

1436
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 6: certain sections or certain articles or you know, amendments or

1437
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 6: change it or however they can. I think it's something

1438
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 6: that they obviously are going to have to talk about.

1439
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 6: I don't know if this as hyber priority, as as

1440
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 6: sort of the tanking discussion that's been a topic of

1441
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 6: conversation as well this year, But it's something that I

1442
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 6: don't think the NBA or the Union sort of foresaw

1443
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 6: being as much in the the you know, in the

1444
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 6: conversation towards the end of the season as it has been.

1445
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 6: But then again, you never know, like if this was

1446
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 6: kind of an outlier of a season, if we go

1447
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 6: next season and all of these guys are playing you know,

1448
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 6: seventy five to eighty games, or people talking about the

1449
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 6: sixty five game room. So do you want to overcorrect

1450
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 6: after one season or do you at least want to

1451
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 6: bring it up for discussion. It's going to be definitely

1452
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 6: something to watch in all season.

1453
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's a really good perspective because of

1454
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 3: the fact that you're just kind of this is just

1455
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 3: becoming a problem and you probably need a little bit

1456
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 3: more of a body of issues before you can address it,

1457
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 3: especially outside of a collective bargaining year. But let's go

1458
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 3: to the tanking issue too, because I want to talk

1459
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 3: about Adam Silver talked about this new draft lottery idea

1460
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 3: that would give the bottom three teams worse odds than

1461
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 3: teams ranked four through ten, and that way teams don't

1462
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 3: have any motivation to actually finish at the bottom of

1463
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 3: the league, and then perhaps it prevents teams from all

1464
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 3: out tanking. What do you what's your read on that,

1465
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 3: And do you think that that would solve some of

1466
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 3: these issues? I mean, because tanking has been a thing

1467
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 3: forever at this point.

1468
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, it's funny because if you didn't know any better,

1469
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 6: you would think that tanking sort of just started, just started. Yeah,

1470
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 6: and it obviously has been something that's been around for

1471
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 6: a while. Has it been maybe as egregious or as

1472
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 6: obvious as it's maybe seemed recently. Probably not. But you

1473
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 6: can go all the way back to you know, nineteen

1474
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 6: ninety seven, when the Spurs were you know, competing for

1475
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 6: you know, one of the Western Conference's best teams. They

1476
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 6: have a season where David Robinson is injured and they

1477
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 6: clearly did not try to win a lot of games

1478
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 6: in hopes of winning the top ticking a draft, and

1479
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 6: they ended up happening. They got Tim Duncan and then

1480
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 6: they won five titles. So this tanking thing is not

1481
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 6: anything that's new. I do think that there's going to

1482
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 6: be some measures put in place to maybe not make

1483
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 6: it as obvious or you know, just kind of full

1484
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 6: blown as it's been for some of the teams this year.

1485
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 6: But I think that the coaches and general managers and

1486
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,560
Speaker 6: executives and all these folks are are smart enough to

1487
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 6: realize that if they want to sort of, uh, you know,

1488
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 6: sort of sweeten the odds of them landing a high

1489
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 6: pick or potential prospect in the draft, they're going to

1490
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 6: figure out a way to do it. The interesting thing

1491
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 6: there is that the twenty twenty six draft is considered

1492
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 6: pretty strong, and then the next two drafts coming up

1493
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 6: after that are not nearly as strong as this one

1494
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 6: or even last year. So, you know, are you going

1495
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 6: to see a situation where it looks like teams have

1496
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 6: kind of curb tanking, but it's just a result of

1497
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 6: their not being you know, Cooper Flag or Darren Peterson

1498
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 6: or a j Devance of those types of prospects at

1499
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 6: the at the top of the draft. You have to

1500
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 6: it's gonna be tough to decide or figure out, you know,

1501
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 6: sort of the reasoning behind what teams do.

1502
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 2: It's also funny too, because it's like when you find

1503
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 2: billionaires what like five hundred thousand dollars for tanking and.

1504
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, things like that, they don't care.

1505
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 2: They're like, they're not even like that's nothing exactly for

1506
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: a billionaires.

1507
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's worth it to increase your odds if you

1508
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 6: have a shot at a person like again, a Darren

1509
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 6: Peterson or a Cooper Flag, that's that's a worthwhile investment

1510
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 6: for a lot of these folks.

1511
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 2: So, Okay, the Athletic just put out their anonymous player

1512
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 2: poll for m VP. The players chose SGA to win

1513
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 2: this year they have correctly voted for the official winner

1514
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 2: of the last three seasons.

1515
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 4: Do you think they're going to make it four in

1516
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 4: a rows SJA winning back to back.

1517
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 6: That's actually it's funny you say that. As much as

1518
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 6: that has been a part of my life, compiling that

1519
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 6: over the past couple of weeks, I did not. I

1520
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 6: kind of didn't realize that we nailed the m v

1521
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 6: P pick the past few years. Yeah, yeah, that's good

1522
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 6: for us, right for you? Yeah, I mean I think so.

1523
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 6: I think I think he's the m v P if

1524
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 6: I had a vote, and I don't, but I think,

1525
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 6: you know, it's hard to win a title. It's even

1526
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 6: harder at a lot of ways to defend it. And he's, uh,

1527
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 6: you know, clearly the best best player on the best

1528
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 6: team they have, you know, kind of dominated a lot

1529
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 6: of teams in the league that they played. I think

1530
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 6: the subtle thing that a lot of people forget is

1531
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 6: that their second best player is Jalen Williams, and he's

1532
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 6: played I think thirty five games this year. He was

1533
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 6: an All NBA guy last year. And so the fact

1534
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 6: that the thunder have maintained this level of success without

1535
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 6: their team hole a lot of the season I think

1536
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 6: is a credit to obviously that team and a lot

1537
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 6: of those players who won a title last year. But

1538
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 6: you know, kind of the head of the snake in

1539
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 6: a lot of ways is SGA, and so if I

1540
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 6: had a vote, I would reward him with MVP. But

1541
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 6: I think women Yama has made an interesting surge over

1542
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 6: the past few weeks, and that surge is sort of

1543
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,560
Speaker 6: coincided with after a lot of the votes that we

1544
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 6: talied for the for the player poll were made. It'd

1545
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 6: be interesting to go back to a lot of those

1546
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 6: guys and see how they feel about it now. But

1547
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 6: you know, Winby has certainly closed the gap, and if

1548
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 6: he doesn't win it this year, he's certainly going to

1549
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 6: be in the conversation for the next you know, ten

1550
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 6: to fifteen years if everything goes according to plan.

1551
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 3: Real quick, how much do you think you know? Sga

1552
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 3: is also aided by being on you know, the darling

1553
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: of the NBA. At this point, this is the championship

1554
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 3: favorites again, and I mean the Spurs are right there,

1555
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: but they have the inexperience and I like the thing.

1556
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 3: The Western Conference is going to be very interesting and

1557
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 3: how it shakes out at the top. But how much

1558
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 3: do you think SGAH kind of benefits from the fact

1559
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 3: that he's just a little bit more I hesitated to

1560
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 3: even say more visible, because it's not as if Webby isn't, like,

1561
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 3: like everybody knows Wemby's an alien. So it's just it's

1562
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 3: interesting to me that, like there, it's it's so split.

1563
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's it's it's two relatively small markets.

1564
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 6: The NBA was the only you know, uh, both of

1565
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 6: those cities, Oklahoma City and San Antonio, that this is

1566
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 6: the only the NBA is the only you know, big

1567
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 6: four professional sports team in their respective cities. I would

1568
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 6: actually say, if anything, SGA might be hurt by the

1569
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 6: fact that he won MVP last year. You see a

1570
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 6: lot of times, I feel in the NBA where voters

1571
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 6: have voter fatigue, you know, just kind of looking for

1572
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 6: something new. You know, Nicola Jokis won three out of

1573
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 6: four and you could easily argue that he should have

1574
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 6: won four straight. But the year that Duel and Bid

1575
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 6: won in the middle, it was kind of a sense

1576
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 6: of really yoke it again. I think that might be

1577
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 6: more of a case for for s g A next year.

1578
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 6: But I don't think that that is something that is

1579
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 6: not factoring in to maybe potential voters' minds. This year,

1580
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 6: the Thunder have been you know, like you said, they

1581
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 6: won the title last year. Even the year before that,

1582
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 6: they were the number one seed in the West and

1583
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 6: they ended up losing in the semifinals to the Mavericks

1584
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 6: went on the you know, to make the finals. So

1585
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 6: the thunder have sort of been the cream of the

1586
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 6: crop in the West for the past three years. And

1587
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 6: so are you going to see some voters who kind

1588
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 6: of are just looking for something new, whether it be

1589
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 6: women Yama or Nicola jokicch or Jalen Brown who carried

1590
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 6: the Celtics for a lot of this year. Harry King

1591
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 6: by Harry Potter. It's funny. I I every time I

1592
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 6: log into a certain streaming service and see Harry Potter,

1593
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 6: I know that that's that's what you're doing, because it

1594
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 6: certainly is not me.

1595
01:14:53,320 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 4: But you share, Oh we're that home. Oh no kind

1596
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 4: of homie, that's family home.

1597
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say this. I'm not going to

1598
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 6: say the streaming so don't do it.

1599
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 3: I wanted to get it, but like I watched Harry

1600
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 3: Potter on the streaming service that it's Tyler's and he's like,

1601
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 3: that's not me.

1602
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: It's so funny because everyone in my family has a

1603
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 2: different like they are the one on the account and

1604
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 2: then we all share and we all we.

1605
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 3: All are Yeah, that'ssible right there.

1606
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: Oh it's amazing. Okay, real quick, before we let you go.

1607
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 4: Who's coming out of the West, Who's coming out of

1608
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 4: the East, who's meeting in the final?

1609
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's come on.

1610
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 6: I think I think it's hard to tick a bit

1611
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 6: the Thunder, but it would not shock me if the

1612
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 6: Nuggets emerged. Wow, they're they're hot right now. I think

1613
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 6: they they took the Thunder the seven games last year

1614
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 6: and they looked really good. So I'll go, I'll go

1615
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 6: a little bit off the being path.

1616
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: I'll say Denver okay, and I'll say.

1617
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 6: Oh, I'll say Denver in Boston.

1618
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 4: Tyler, thank you so much for coming on. You were awesome.

1659
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 4: let's get a throat right back.

1660
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 7: I know.

1661
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 4: It's one of my faves.

1662
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's wrap things up with our feel good

1663
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 2: story of the week, because congratulations to UCLA women's basketball

1664
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: winning their first title in school history and what they

1665
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 2: did and how they did it is so impressive. They

1666
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 2: did it with five starting seniors and grad students that

1667
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 2: decided to stay and not transfer last season. After losing

1668
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 2: in the Final four to Ukon, they all said, we

1669
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 2: have unfinished business.

1670
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 4: We're all coming back.

1671
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 2: The coolest and craziest stat all of their one hundred

1672
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: and thirty points in their final four matchup against Texas

1673
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 2: and the championship game against South Carolina were scored by

1674
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 2: their six graduating players.

1675
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 3: That's that's sick. Yeah, I'm so curious to see now

1676
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 3: because the new WNBA Collective Bargain Agreement got ratified and

1677
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 3: like the player salaries are going drastically up. God like,

1678
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 3: because like a situation like UCLA women's basketball is like

1679
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 3: if you knew that you could make money in the WNBA, yeah,

1680
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 3: stay because now you know they have.

1681
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: Don't they have to do four years? I think they

1682
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 2: have to play four years women's basketball so.

1683
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 3: Well the graduate students and graduates like coming back different

1684
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 3: like graduate students coming back is particularly Like why I'm

1685
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 3: so curious about this because I'm just kind of like

1686
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 3: before like college nil has now.

1687
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 4: Made it that's where you make your money.

1688
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 3: That's why, that's where you make your money. But now

1689
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: that salaries are growing up in the WNBA, I'm very

1690
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 3: curious to see if we see stuff like that where

1691
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 3: you can keep a core like that together that includes.

1692
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 2: People like portals too, like even after you have a
