1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Is it a bad thing that I respond, oh boy,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: way too often to what my colleague Jason Smith says.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: He'll be back tomorrow, by the way, Jared Smith in

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: his stead at Jared Smith Bets.

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: I'm Mike Carmen.

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Welcome in another fine four hour foray into the world

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: of sports entertainment and chaos. Cleaveling up to nothing on

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: the Dodgers bottom of seven to two outs. We had

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: a call that had to go for the review. We're challenging,

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: all right, cool, so that'll be part of the extended

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: remix of the show. As the night goes on, Jared,

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: welcome back once again. Our final four is set. Ape

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Fools is almost done and we can move on with

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: our lives.

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 4: Good evening. I was just talking to our our amazing engineer.

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I had to get as I

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 4: had to pump his tires before we get started here

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: you stop, and I was telling him that I was was,

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 4: you know, dipping my toe into the April Fools waters.

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: I don't usually partake in it, but I was feeling

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: a bit playful this morning, and so I posted a

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 4: very long tweet saying that I was retiring from gambling

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: and I was going to become a fitness influencer and

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm dropping a book bankroll to biceps. You know, I

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: kind of obviously it was like absurd that I was

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 4: making the joke and people believed it. Honestly, I got

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: a couple of people, I got a couple of most

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: people picked up on it pretty quick, but I got

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 4: a couple of people to be like, oh good right

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 4: into like oh, I can't believe you're actually doing this,

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: Like it's wild, how gullible people.

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: Are either safe, thank you for saving my bankroll? Or please,

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: where do I subscribe to your newsletter?

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: Look?

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: You we talked the last time yere with me about

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: you know, your entry into the world of long distance

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: running and silliness like that.

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: So I mean it's not that far fetched. You know,

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: the law.

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: To become an influencer, I think that would be.

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: But that would be a bold strategy, and we might

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: get to pat you on the back for saying, Hey,

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna dive all in because guess what the from well,

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: the world of betting will be there waiting for you

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: if that were to fail.

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. So thank you to the people who

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: picked up on it. But I'm not going You guys

49
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 4: are stuck with me forever.

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we you.

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: I saw a few things this morning that you had

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: to do the double take because it was just outside

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: the realm of policy.

54
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: That's what we were talking about. It's like crazy, but

55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 4: when it's like kind of believable, like.

56
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to spend an hour vetting this,

57
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: you know, because there's things about transactions or or other

58
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: other official accounts.

59
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 4: I think it's where it's dangerous, right, Ocial team accounts,

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: official government accounts. That's where it gets a little. That's

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: where the gray area.

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Well, you get into the government accounts, I mean, then

63
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: then it goes into a whole other space. We've got

64
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: presidential addresses and everything on this evening as we have

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: that against the back drop of our sporting universe and

66
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: all the chaos that it brings on a day to

67
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: day basis. So we'll look into that and we'll stay

68
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: in that sphere have some fun with you. We've got

69
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Monty Belanga's at the news desk, Shay our executive producer

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: in for Justin, and Alex Tysher back in the in

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: the Bowels of the Fox Sports Radio studios. We've got

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: Brandon working on sounds. So all of that to bring

73
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: you a rich tapestry, hopefully a couple of laughs. Forget

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: about whatever seriousness or gravity is going on either in

75
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: your driver in your world at large, and maybe you

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: redirect that energy and yell at me at swollen Dome

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: where you find me bringing bring the pain at Jared

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: Smith Betts.

79
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: One of the big.

80
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: Stories that started circulating again it's been you know, latent

81
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: and just kind of hibernating for months at a time,

82
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: even going back to the middle of last year, is.

83
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: The Spider Man meme.

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: That is the Philadelphia Eagles of whose fault? Who's to blame?

85
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Does anybody like Jalen Hurts? Is he the problem?

86
00:03:59,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: Is he?

87
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: Aj Brown? The problem?

88
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: Are the teammates siding there? We get the ESPN report

89
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier today that you've got a lot

90
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: of sources kind of going nope, look it's all fine

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: and good and practice and film room and everything else,

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: but once we get out on the field, it's a

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: whole other world. Team source selling ESPN quote, poor body language,

94
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: not always bought in, and not the most coachable and

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: the players notice. So we talk about the constant conveyor

96
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: belt that we've seen in Philadelphia, about the changing in

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: the coaching step. Sirianti remains Roseman above him, obviously, but

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: when we talk about offensive coordinators and mixing and matching

99
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 2: some of that. The level of success means that guys

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: are gonna go and take their shot, either laterally for

101
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: more control and opportunity to show what they can do,

102
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: or moving up the ladders to try to their hand

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: at the head coaching spot. And for Jalen Hurts, it's

104
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: been a year to year kind of battle there. But

105
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: more of this article, Jared seems to pay in a

106
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: portrait of I just don't want to deal with that

107
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: because I get blamed for what he doesn't want to

108
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: do versus what we're trying to teach and install. Add

109
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: some injuries, age and effectiveness issues on the offensive line

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 2: to where we had an intermittent, great, mediocre good year

111
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: from Saquon Barkley, and if he's not running at a

112
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: four point six plus clip, guess what the offense is

113
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: gonna bog down? And we watched that with a marked

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: downturn in twenty twenty five.

115
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is a guy in Jalen Hurts that's

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 4: now have seven different offensive coordinators in seven years in

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 4: the NFL. And he also jumped around in college a bunch.

118
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 4: I think he had three or four different oh Sason College,

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 4: right Oklahoma and Alabama. So this is a guy that's

120
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: had like eleven different voices in his ear in the

121
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: last ten years. So I think there is a of

122
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: a I want to like let him breathe a little

123
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: bit because he just did win a Super Bowl and

124
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 4: with Super Bowl MVP, and I remember last year. So

125
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: if you were a fan of our Saturday show and

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: Countdown presented by betam JM Saturday morning, six to nine Pacific,

127
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: am I mentioned this over the summer, and then even

128
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: some of the Philadelphia news outlets pick this up once

129
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: the Eagles offense started to struggle. But I thought one

130
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: of the most intriguing hires last offseason was Scott Loffler.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: Who is Scott Loffler. He is the quarterbacks coach of

132
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: the Eagles currently. Still even after the disaster with Patulo

133
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: last year, they retained Laffler. Loeffler was the head coach

134
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: at Bowling Green, and I thought that was so fascinating

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: to me, Mike, because how often does the Super Bowl

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 4: MVP quarterback of a Super Bowl team bring in a

137
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: mac head coach to be the quarterbacks coach of the team.

138
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: Very rarely do you see a mac head coach make

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: the jump to the NFL. It doesn't happen very often.

140
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: So I thought that was a very intriguing higher And

141
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: it goes back to what we heard from prior years

142
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 4: with Kellen Moore and other things, where Hurts kind of

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: needed a bit of an insulator between him and Sirianni,

144
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: and I thought that was I thought the hire of

145
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: Laeffler last year my thesis, my conspiracy theory was the

146
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: fact that the Eagles needed to bring in the mac

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: head coach to protect Jalen Hurts from Kevin Patulo and

148
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: Nick Sirianni was not good news for the Eagles offense.

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: I was very bearish on the Eagles offense heading in

150
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five and that's it turned out to

151
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: be that to be the case. So I don't know

152
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: if Sean Mannon is going to be the magic fix.

153
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: I know he's going to bring in more of a

154
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: McVeigh Shanahan style offense under center play action. Those are

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: kind of the cheat codes for quarterbacks these days in

156
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: the NFL. But I thought last year it was very

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: red flaggy, if you want to use a word from

158
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: the dating world that I poorsaken in Vegas the year

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: these days that they brought in this random mackhead coach

160
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: to be the quarterbacks coach for hurt So it kind

161
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: of is in alignment of what I've kind of vibed

162
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: with the Eagles that that Jalen Hurts is kind of

163
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: his little entity floating around there in outer space and

164
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: it takes a certain type of voice to reach him.

165
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: And maybe it's Manion. It certainly was a Petullo, and

166
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: based on what we're reading, I don't think it's Siriana either.

167
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way that as you laid that out, it

168
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: goes into a whole speed dating kind of scenario when

169
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: you're talking about that many voices that are trying to

170
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: get clarity. Maybe there's a bit of lag of you know,

171
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: trying to pick up pieces from each of these guys

172
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: and into an amalgam. And let's face it, that's going

173
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: to cause riffs in any job, any relationship at all.

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: You're picking up piece along the way, which is part

175
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: of the growth process, but that means there may be

176
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: some pushback. And when we're talking about the way an

177
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: off season comes together in the National Football League, the

178
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: lack of reps, the lack of opportunity before it's you know,

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: the green light in week one, it's going to lead

180
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: to problems. You look at last year they averaged twenty

181
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: what was it, twenty two point three points per game,

182
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: which was good for nineteenth in the league, which means

183
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: we're talking about some really bad offenses, high Raiders, high

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, and I have to mention the Jets. It's

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: an obligation at this point to do that. But it's

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: curious going forward because, as you said, in the biggest moments,

187
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: we've had the explosive games, right one battle in the

188
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl where he was superhuman and lost and then

189
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: a win and quarterbacks get their love one way. You know,

190
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: if you're successful at all, if you're just hanging on,

191
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: you're still a starter in this league. There's gonna be

192
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: someone that's saying, that's still our guy. But as soon

193
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: as the wheels start to come off, while you get

194
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: all the blame too, right, the coaches get fired, coordinators

195
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: come and go and to her for Hurts two a degree.

196
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: And this is where you have to decide how much

197
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: stock you put into his responsibility culpability for the fact

198
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: that it has been such a revolving door of voices

199
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: at the quarterback coach position, at the coordinator offensive coordinator

200
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: position for these years during his run. That like that,

201
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: that's the the magic. I guess peace to the equation, right,

202
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: if we're trying to solve for X, that's it. We're

203
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how big that coefficient is. With

204
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: has a picture of Jalen Hurts's face there right, versus

205
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: aj Brown, who continues to be in trade rumors and

206
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: everything else. But this latest report on Hurts perhaps, like

207
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: the Ravens tried to claim with the Max Crosby, it's

208
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: just because it's a slow news day coming out of

209
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: the owners and NFL meetings and all, but still one

210
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: of the most visible and short term successful franchises that

211
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: we've seen. And when not right, when you have to

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: replace linemen either this year or really you've got one

213
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: more run, right, Dallas Goddard came back on a one

214
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 2: year deal, So a lot of these component parts are

215
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: potentially unsteady and ready to be moved on from Jalen

216
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: Hurts is the guy that he's got his deal, but

217
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: it's is that the guy that we're sticking with long term?

218
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: And for Nick Sirianni, for all the other sources that

219
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: are leaking this to ESPN and other reporters in Philadelphia,

220
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: they're also looking around going knowing the sort of damocles

221
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: still swings even with recent successes.

222
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: What are we even talking about here? They just won

223
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: the super Bowl fourteen months ago. And that's the part

224
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: about this. And I'm not saying that it's not worthy

225
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: of us talking about it, because once it's in the news,

226
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: it's it's worthy of us talking about it. The question

227
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 4: you have to ask yourself is why is it in

228
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 4: the news when I hear these stories, when I read

229
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: these stories, And this is to me the hardest part

230
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: of our job. It's easy to react to the games.

231
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: We watch the games, we know what's happening, We see

232
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: it happening, and we're like, well, this is what happened.

233
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 4: But when we get these and this is why the

234
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: NFL draft, I call it lying season because in reality,

235
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 4: why would a general manager like the Combine is when

236
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 4: lying season starts and it's it's crowdsourcing. Why would a

237
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: NFL general manager or a scout or an executive, anyone

238
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: working in the front office that his job is to

239
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: get the best player available in this spot. Why would

240
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: he go to a place where all of the other

241
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: teams are gathering and released information saying, we really like

242
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: this guy, we want to take them. Like, like, what's

243
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: the incentive there? There's there's there's zero upside to that

244
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: at all. So when we get these stories, and for

245
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: those unfamiliar, the the all all the gms, the coach,

246
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: everyone's meeting in in I think it's Phoenix. I don't

247
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: know the exact location. It's probably some like undisclosed resort somewhere.

248
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: No, no, don't worry. It's not blacked out like it's

249
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: it's not a.

250
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: Government side and relatives and close family members that have

251
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: worked in said sites. Okay, I mean it's like, all right,

252
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 2: going to work for a week. Uh, we'll see on

253
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: the other side, I guess, Okay.

254
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: Cool, interesting, Yeah, yeah, So they're all gathering this week

255
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: in addition to all the media, So this is a

256
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: week where this kind of stuff becomes gospel, it becomes chatter.

257
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: And then you get one coach talk about it, and

258
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 4: then they go to another player or coach or whoever

259
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 4: else is there from that team, and then the last man,

260
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: and then the media starts to spread it around and

261
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 4: it just it spreads like wildfire. And I don't even

262
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: know how much this story matters and the grand scheme

263
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: of life for Jalen Hurts, Like, again, the guy just

264
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: won Superowl MVP fourteen months ago, So I are we

265
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: really going to say that someone who played for Nick

266
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: Saban and all these amazing is not coachable, Like I

267
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: just I don't know if I buy that, Like I

268
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 4: think it's just the voices aren't getting through to him

269
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: properly because they had a really tough year and the

270
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 4: offense was kind of stuck in mud and they kind

271
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: of let the bad the negativity get to them. And

272
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: that's that sounds very human to me, Like that's that's

273
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: a normal story to me. That's not like headline where

274
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: oh my god, we need to stop the press because

275
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts is is a little bit upset that the

276
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 4: Eagles had a rough year. I don't I don't know

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: if I buy the narrative that he's not coachable. That's

278
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: the part about it that I'm really kind of iffy on.

279
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, but that's the question, right, if you're going to

280
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: keep changing out the voices, how much is pressure from

281
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: him of I don't like or agree or deal with

282
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: this guy versus Right, I've got another opportunity. I just

283
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: can't do this anymore. Right, any job, any relationship. You

284
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: you made the dating reference, so we'll stay in that

285
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: field of date two. You've already gone red flaggy to

286
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: your terminology on six or seven.

287
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: I like that flaggy flaggy y come off.

288
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: Word play, you know, be careful. But it's just the

289
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: idea of all right, here's a bunch of things that

290
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: are together. It's like watching some baseball, right, if you're

291
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: stringing together a bunch of singles, all right, maybe not

292
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: worried about it.

293
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: It's not the big rally.

294
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: But if there's the one thing as a coach, as

295
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: a player, or a prospective longer term partner, than hey,

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: we're just kind of having some fun and it's a

297
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: grand slam into the third deck with whatever you disagree about, politics, religion,

298
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: the general quest for the meaning of life. Cub fan,

299
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: White Sox fan, wherever you are, I mean, you pick

300
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: your spot, whatever the thing is, and hell, you're gonna

301
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: die on but you might have one of those, whereas

302
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: you have six or seven little moments. And I did

303
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: not do that purposely. I just need to bang my

304
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: head against the desk just for doing that. But the

305
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: idea that if it's just a bunch of little things,

306
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: like eh little bit of the wins and like I

307
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: don't really agree with that, you're reacting to something on

308
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: the news, and maybe they don't disagree or they don't

309
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: agree with where you're going whatever, and and maybe those

310
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: are nice and easy because then you're back out, you're

311
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: at a bar, a band comes on, and life is

312
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: good versus something more substantive of long term discussions. And

313
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: when we're talking about the the Philadelphia Eagles, I mean,

314
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: I find it kind of interesting that year after year

315
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: it's like the defense against the dark arts teacher and

316
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: Harry Potter.

317
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Who the hell's showing up this year? Who's gonna sit

318
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: that chair? Who's there? I don't know? Oh wait, he

319
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: was the bad guy last year? Is that what we're doing?

320
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Those guys are always the bad guys, So I mean

321
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: that's the thing, right, Smoke fire all of those things,

322
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: a patrona's curse, I mean, whatever the case.

323
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: Trying to put down our spell as it were, you know.

324
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: The Yeah, I mean, there's there's all of those different

325
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: curses that we could bring in, you know, and I'm

326
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: having some fun with it. But it's just that and

327
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: in the absence of a bunch of other stories Philadelphia,

328
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: where we know it gets a little loud and the

329
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: fans get up.

330
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think got fourteen months is a long time

331
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: since that, yeah, right, especially when the rest span how

332
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 4: long fourteen months is? So here you go twenty sixteen,

333
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: Langkiffin in the regular season, then Steve Sarkis in the

334
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: National Championship Game twenty seventeen, Brian Dable twenty eighteen, Mike

335
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 4: Loxley twenty nineteen at Oklahoma, Bill Beidenbaugh, and Cal Gundy

336
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: at co coordinator. So in college had one, two, three, four, five,

337
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 4: six different guys in his ear at one time. Then

338
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: in the NFL, Doug Peterson was also the head coach

339
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty Sirianni initially, then Shane Stike and then

340
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: Stiking again in twenty twenty two. Brian Johnson, Kellen Moore,

341
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: Kevin Batulo and now Sean Mannion Partridge in a paratree.

342
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how many voices have been in his

343
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 4: ear since the start of his collegiate career in twenty sixteen.

344
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 4: In ten years, some guys going back, And so what

345
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: point is it not coachable? And at other point is

346
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: it can we get this guy one freaking coach and

347
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: one singular voice to allow him to grow as a quarterback.

348
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: That's the part about the story that really bothers me

349
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 4: is they're putting this on Hurts to make some headlines

350
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 4: and to get some clickbait. But I just read you

351
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: the names. These are some of the best offensive minds

352
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 4: in football. Lane Kiff and Brian Dable, Doug Peterson, Shane Steichen.

353
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: You think this guy's not coachable, that's crazy to me.

354
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Their efforts with him allowed them to a

355
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: lot of them to go one hundred percent one hundred percent.

356
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: Where in that pie chart do you assign success slash blame.

357
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2: day is games, some picks, some policies, procedures, all of

388
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: those things to get you to the winners circle, or

389
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: at least that's the hope. Even though he said earlier

390
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: this morning in a post that he was quitting is

391
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Jared Smith That Jared Smith thinks, guys, I'm not.

392
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: Oh wait, wait waited, talk with me forever. There you go,

393
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: and ever and ever and ever. Watching some NBA.

394
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: We got an early twenty three to nine lead these

395
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: Spurs over Golden State, which led straight to the next

396
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: conversation here Jared. The NBA MVP odds for twenty twenty six.

397
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: The day to day fluctuation, you know, like a stock market. Hey,

398
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: what have we got going on today? And depending on

399
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: a big performance, we'll watch it move. We had fun

400
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, Jason Smith and I watching

401
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: the live odds when Lucas scored his sixty going from

402
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: thirty five to one down to eighteen to one and

403
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: settling kind of like you were day trading years ago,

404
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: and you know when things were really cooking on Wall

405
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: Street in the dot com era. It's like, hey, for

406
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: five minutes, I was a millionaire. Now I'm worth nothing.

407
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: And then we do it again. But said thing here,

408
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: the fluctuation in the second third, fourth, a lot of

409
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: moving around. Shay Gildess, Alexander your favorite. He says, hey,

410
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 2: I just let my play dude the talking, and while

411
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: there may be the occasional hey, he gets to the

412
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: fall line too much, or hey, let's do the review,

413
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: and it becomes the big deal because he actually got

414
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: called for a push off the other night. I don't

415
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: know if you did that, if you saw that one, Jared,

416
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: because that one you could probably frame him the loop.

417
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 3: Hey, he actually got called for that, which was kind.

418
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: Of interesting, kind of like the little Kicks, like he's

419
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: Elaine Venis on Seinfeld doing her dance. But the idea

420
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: that you know, he is the presumptive favorite.

421
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: But we've seen odds.

422
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: At least I saw some live odds moving last night

423
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: where Victor wembin Yama makes a huge surge playing his

424
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: twenty nine minutes, and then you've got both he and

425
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: Luka Doncitz and now JJ Reddick. They're all hitting the

426
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 2: campaign trails like we're in you know, political election season,

427
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: which we are. Depending on your state, you may have

428
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: some elections and some seats up for grabs here. But

429
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: it's I actually like that the coaches and players standing

430
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: for themselves, Like people didn't like Draymond Green when he was,

431
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: you know, kind of going out for himself last year,

432
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: or Steph Curry a couple of years ago, even though

433
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: the team wasn't great, he was magnificent, saying, well, why

434
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: can't I be considered Like, well, your team's not good,

435
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: but you're great individually. So now we get into the

436
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: fights of what the term valuable means and everything else.

437
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: But it's it's fun because we get to acknowledge greatness

438
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: and it takes the emphasis and the eyeballs and voices

439
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: in our collective media and NBA talk away from tanking

440
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: and the negative sides of the game back towards the

441
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: for tears, where a guy like Nikola Jokic, like he's

442
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: just Jokic. He's just doing his things, so don't even

443
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: worry about him he's okay over there, He'll go back

444
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: to his horses.

445
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the fact that the Spurs had a

446
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 4: really good year against the Thunder I think or four

447
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 4: and one against him OKAC this year. I think that's

448
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: a very strong.

449
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 2: Case for Wenby, which is what Wenby went out of

450
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: his way to make sure to point out of. Hey, yeah,

451
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: check that the Lakers have a couple of shots over

452
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks too.

453
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 4: I think the other strong case for Wemby has nothing

454
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: to do with Wemby. It has to do with votor fatigue,

455
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 4: which is a real thing, sure. I mean that's just

456
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: a psychological thing where someone wins an award and our

457
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: initial brain says, well, they have to be better the

458
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: next year, and if I'm going to give him the

459
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 4: award again, And that's probably where we are with SGA.

460
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: I don't think he's been better this year. He maybe

461
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: the numbers indicate that, but I think he's just been

462
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 4: as good as he was last year. He's the same player,

463
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 4: it seems like, and okay, so he's just as good.

464
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 4: They're a pretty big favorite, I would say, a substantial

465
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: favorite to win the finals. You know the you know

466
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: the NBA Championship. You know, they're pretty there's a gap.

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: There's a big gap between them and the rest of

468
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: the teams in the field right now. So I think

469
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: you could make the case that SGA's done and off

470
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 4: and Wemby just hasn't played enough minutes. He definitely hasn't

471
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: qualified yet. I know he still has to play the

472
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: rest of the season in order to qualify. Games wise,

473
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: I think he's only you know in the in the

474
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: high fifties, little sixties and games you got to get

475
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 4: the sixty five. And the minutes are a problem too. Yeah,

476
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: he's at sixty right now, so I you know, he's

477
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: got to play the last five games or however many

478
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: games the Thunder up or the Spurs up left. He

479
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: has to play at least five more. And I think

480
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: the minutes are a pretty big push against him because

481
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: you just you've got to be a guy that's on

482
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 4: the floor a lot, and I think that's what the

483
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 4: MVP is. That's why Jokic is just like the perfect

484
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: candidate for this award because he's just he does everything

485
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: and he's always on the floor. So I would still

486
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 4: give it to SGA. I think the only knock against

487
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: SGA right now now is the fact that he won

488
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 4: it last year, which is a bad reason to not

489
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 4: vote for a guy, but that, unfortunately, in the current

490
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: media climate we are in, is a reason why people

491
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: are reluctant to vote for someone. So I think Wemby

492
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: will have his time to win the award. I don't

493
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: think anyone else is going to win. I think it's

494
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: just Wenby or SGA. I don't think Luca has a chance.

495
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 4: I just don't. I don't think the Lakers have won

496
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 4: enough games, and I just I think he's a little

497
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: bit too far back from the pack. Even he's gonna

498
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 4: campaign his butt off over the next week or so,

499
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: it just it feels like it feels like this is

500
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: you know, there's two elite teams in the NBA this year,

501
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference, and I think the MVP should

502
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: come from one of those teams.

503
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Thunder currently at sixty and sixteen, Spurs in progress

504
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: fifty seven and eighteen. Why don't we just give him

505
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: that fifty eighth win while we're at nine one in

506
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: their last ten. As are the Lakers who had a

507
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: magnificent month of March. Luca going on at six hundred

508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: points scored for the month, they're at fifty to twenty.

509
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: You had to miss that Monday game, which was too

510
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: bad because it was against the Wizards. He really could

511
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: have stacked up some extra stats in that one.

512
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: Ah.

513
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: But when your mouth he eventually you get your suspension

514
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: and they're like, you know what, we rescinded the last

515
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: three times we got to this point. We're not gonna

516
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: do that again. When ben Yama net rating is at

517
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: seventeen point three, Shake Gildess Alexander come in at fourteen

518
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: point seven. So those your leaders usage percentage, Luca certainly

519
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: topping the list there. And when we look at you know,

520
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: when Binyama in terms of you know, his output, it's

521
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: just absurd for the level and number of minutes that

522
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: he has played, right, And that's the weird thing about it.

523
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: You look at the operational efficiency, but you've also looked

524
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: at the Spurs who've been really good when he hasn't played.

525
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: So does that come against him?

526
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: Right?

527
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 2: He's played in sixty at this point, twenty four and

528
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 2: twenty four to five in points per game, eleven point

529
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: four rebound both it ticks slight ticks up over last year.

530
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: Blocks are down a little bit, but still averaging three

531
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: per game, go on down the line, thirty five percent

532
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: from three point range, fifty percent from the field overall,

533
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: and just a marvel on a nightly basis where they

534
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: go and run away and hide to the point where

535
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: he gets to get nice and refreshed on the bench

536
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: in a lot of fourth quarters, just like SGA has

537
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: and certainly hunting for those twenty point games at times

538
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: that we've seen. I wonder if that gets a little

539
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: bit of the backlash, like he got to this record,

540
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: like yeah, but look at what look at the way

541
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: they did that, you know, kind of kind of situational things.

542
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: And to your point about voter fatigue, you need a

543
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: new story, always need a new story. That's that's why

544
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: when we open with Jalen Hurts, part of it is

545
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 2: are we just desperate for a story? Is there something

546
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: more here? I think I think it's a little bit

547
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 2: of both. I don't think he can necessarily discount altogether

548
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: what's going on. And it is Philadelphia again, so it's

549
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: gonna draw some more. It's like chum in the water

550
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: and Jaws. Eventually the shark's gonna gonna breach right on

551
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: the universal Tour two, he's gonna he's gonna come for you.

552
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: But here we we look at wem Bin Yama, fresh

553
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: and new. The other guys, I mean, Lucas not old,

554
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: but he's been in the league a minute. SGA won

555
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: last year, and there's enough of all right, what's next

556
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: because go back to all the MVP voting of our youth, right,

557
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, you argue, all right, for a long period,

558
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: should have just been the m v P every year.

559
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: Well he didn't get voted as such, Kobe Shack, go

560
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: on down the line. You had guys that suddenly jumped

561
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: into the middle of the f No, they're gonna win

562
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: this year. It's like why, It's like nah, because Jordan

563
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: won the last ones and this guy's having a pretty

564
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: good run. Okay, good, same thing seems to be happening here.

565
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: Not to diminish anything wem Bin Yama or or Luca

566
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: or Joki, sure anybody else is doing. Shay Gildes Alexander

567
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: not winning the because they're too good and you're tired

568
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: of talking about him is a bad way to be.

569
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: And that's the part about this that is I don't

570
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: want to say funny, but it's always something that I

571
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 4: make you know note of. It's the same thing with

572
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame voting, people

573
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: get really upset. Well, it's it's the Hall of Fame,

574
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: not the Hall of great Like, there's only one MVP,

575
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 4: there can only be one guy. It doesn't mean that

576
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: the other guys aren't great and they aren't MVPs of

577
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: their own team, but there can only be one MVP

578
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 4: of the league. And just because your guy's not the MVP,

579
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that you know, the rest of the

580
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 4: guys are bad. You know, like if you vote one

581
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: guy the MVP doesn't make Luca's role or Wemby's role

582
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: any less mvp ish. It's just it's just we have

583
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: to be we have to be outraged by something, Mike.

584
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: It's it's that that is the culture that we live in.

585
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: That's the Jalen Hurt stuff. We have to be outraged

586
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 4: by something.

587
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: Don't let people behind the curtain.

588
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we live in the age of outrage. People.

589
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how positive.

590
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: The news is. There will always be outrage about something.

591
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: If you're not outraged by it, you're not going to

592
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: click on it. And if you don't click on it.

593
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 4: The places that are putting out the rage bait don't

594
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: get paid. So it just that's the part about the

595
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurt story. I want to completely veer the conversation

596
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: back to the NFL. I'm sure we talk plenty about

597
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: over the next three hours, but we're in that time

598
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: of the year where there isn't a whole lot of

599
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: actual news happening. It's a lot of whispers, a lot

600
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: of Lord varis in the shadows figuring out what's coming,

601
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: and we have to figure we have to get some click.

602
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: We have to get some you know, we have to

603
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: figure out a way to get news and get the headline.

604
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: Everyone's got to pay attention in the NFL twenty four

605
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 4: to seven, three sixty five, right, was right?

606
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: That was good, leaving no stone unturn, getting your Game

607
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: of Thrones in cause you mentioned, hey, there can be

608
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: only one. I'm like, well, Henry Cavill's gonna be in

609
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: The Highlander, so we got that too. Take his head,

610
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: take down the kurgan Ah. He's Jared Smith and for

611
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: Jason it's a lot.

612
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: That's a lot of overloads more out there than my reference.

613
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna exhale and we're gonna turn over to Monty Bolagos,

614
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: who I'm sure other than making sure nobody comes and

615
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: tries to take her Yoshi bobble Head's head, She's got

616
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,640

642
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: I thought it was real and I literally didn't like it.

643
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: You know what's great though, Like Caleb Williams, I just

644
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: trademarked that for myself.

645
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,560

646
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 5: be quick, though, you gotta be quick in those moments,

647
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: and you were quick.

648
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: All right, guys, Let's.

649
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 5: Check in on baseball. The Royals have been crushing the

650
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 5: Twins from the start. Jonathan India with the Grand Slam,

651
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 5: and the Twins have had the bases loaded a few times.

652
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: In fact, they have them loaded again right now. But

653
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 5: the Royals lead the Twins thirteen to five. Twins with

654
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: the bases loaded. Top of the eighth inning, Dodgers can't

655
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 5: seem to do anything. They are being shut out by

656
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: the Guardians four zero. It's the bottom of the ninth

657
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 5: inning at unique low Field at Dodger Stadium.

658
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: That's how it's called. Oh yeah, do you like that?

659
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: No, I.

660
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 5: Can't answer that.

661
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll answer for yes.

662
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 5: She does that emmatically, and thank you, thank you, mister

663
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 5: Harmon that is correct.

664
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: I may be wearing that logo all over right out

665
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: of the brand.

666
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: Okay.

667
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: I guess that might be someone tatooing that on her

668
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: arm right now.

669
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 3: I really don't know.

670
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 5: Ray Yankees defeating the Mariners in Seattle five three.

671
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: Cam Schlittler loved that name pitching another.

672
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, careful over that.

673
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: No, it's so good though, ye to play that tape back.

674
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: That's time Fadres outscored the Giants seven to one and

675
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 5: avoid the three game a sweep. I'm pretty sure we

676
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 5: had a dump rich Davis today because he didn't say

677
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 5: it correctly.

678
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: Job. Pretty sure like it was dumped that just.

679
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: To be saved, just to be got got to he

680
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 5: got what too. When it comes to the NBA right now,

681
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 5: the Spurs lead the Warriors thirty two to twenty four.

682

Speaker 5: seventy six, the Celtics had fifty three points in the

688
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,319

Speaker 2: the big early season stories major League Baseball is the

713
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: automated balls and strike system. The good, the bad, the ugly.

714
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: We chronicled it and we had a nice little video

715
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: that Shape put together yesterday as I ranted and raved

716
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: about our guy Buckner and then he got hit in

717
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: the face today, I felt bad about that.

718
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 3: It felt almost responsible.

719
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: I hope he's okay and gets himself back and fine

720
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: fiddling back on the field in short order. But we

Speaker 2: Orioles look to close out a.

724

Speaker 7: We have not seen it challenge end the game yet.

726

728
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,600

00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 3: As we have the Orioles network on the call. I

Speaker 3: mean you have to love that. Brought to you by

Speaker 3: The way tire buying.

737
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 2: Should be Jared A three to the final Sworez was

738
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: in in relief flyout flyout and Besios said, let's just

739
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: finish this one off, shall we. So it was called

740
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: like it was a three pointer for the win in

741
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: the college basketball tournament. We'll get to that coming up

742
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: in about ten minutes from now. But the ABS system

743
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 2: and the early data. Obviously I mentioned Buckner, he's been

744
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: become like the poster child for.

745
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: The good the bad of it.

746
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: But overall everybody, it's not slowing the games down. Get

747
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: them on, get them over, get them in some consternation,

748
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: and at times you know you're trying to see if

749
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: you can get the streak right.

750
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: It's to make it.

751
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: Take it if you're on the playground playing a game

752
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: of twenty one. But thus far, we're seeing it all

753
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: over Major League Baseball and people trying to get their

754
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: arms around how it's called and adjudicated.

755
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: I'll take it a step further. I think balls and

756
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 4: strikes should be now exclusively called by the robots going forward.

757
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's an inevitability.

758
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 2: It's just a question of fighting with the union and deciding,

759
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: you know, when you go through it, because I think

760
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: it's the Japanese league right where it's automatically done and

761
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: then it's transferred back down to the umpire so they

762
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: can do the history on its behind the plate exactly.

763
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying get rid of umpires behind the plate.

764
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things that they have to do, right,

765
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: if there's a play at the plate, if there's check swings,

766
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 4: if there's other things that you know, you know, adjudicate,

767
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 4: manage the game. But the responsibility of calling balls and

768
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: strikes the moment has become too big for them with

769
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 4: this stuff. And it used to be that was their

770
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 4: sacred ground, like it was the holy land. You could

771
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 4: not argue balls and strikes, and now we're seeing just

772
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 4: how absurd it was that you couldn't argue it. Because

773
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: I think they're more wrong about this then. Is there

774
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 4: another call in sports that is consistently more incorrect? Maybe

775
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 4: the block charge in basketball, which is very tough to call,

776
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: that is consistently more incorrect than balls and strikes. Now

777
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 4: that we're seeing the ABS system become implemented, Wow, I.

778
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: Think it give me a doctoral thesis on what is

779
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: a catch? I'll sit with wrap.

780
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: You're right, I don't know what it catches in the

781
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 4: NFL most but when it comes to maybe fair, there's

782
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 4: only a handful of tho. There's only what forty or

783
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 4: fifty in a game. There's one hundred, two hundred, three

784
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 4: hundred pitches in a matrix baseball game, and there's one

785
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games to times, you know, thirty teams,

786
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 4: twenty four thirty you know, two thousand more and thirty games.

787
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: There's a lot more games than there area football.

788
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: Right.

789
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: The thing that I've just banged the drama with this, Jared,

790
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 2: is the idea of I mean, it's a game of inches.

791
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 2: In this case, it's quarter inches. It's how many times

792
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: does the guy miss a pitch by you know, point

793
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: three inches?

794
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: Coming in?

795
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: That's whatever, because it really is hard, it's really but

796
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: that's just it, right, it comes the all, right, is

797
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: human error?

798
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: Okay?

799
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: In that you know, and pitchers they're relearning what a

800
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: strike zone is. Batters are what a strike zone is.

801
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: So this early part of the season is interesting. So

802
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 2: when guys are struggling or pitchers are having a bit

803
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: of a difficulty at a time, I can't say I'm shocked.

804
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: We'll revisit this a little bit later on. Paul Skeins

805
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: was back on the mound today. Maybe O'Neil Cruz got

806
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 2: him again. He's Jared Smith in for Jason. I'm Mike Carmon.

807
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 2: Coming up next, the NCAA Tournament Final four is set.

808
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: Let's set the table next here on Fox
