All of that, plus we 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: have talked you about Jalen Brown and Justin Herbert's big 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: new money extensions. But first, what we're not getting into 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: NFL preseason amazingly just one week away last night, the 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: US women's national team got a hard fought draw with 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: the Netherlands. Not ideal, and I lose my wager that 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: I got really good odds. But I bet the US 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: women's national team to run the table to go undefeated 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: in the tournament. Obviously, to win the tournament they have 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: to go undefeat in the knockout stage, but it also 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: meant they had to go three to zero in the 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: group stage. They will not with the tie against Netherlands, 30 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: but they should be fine. And Burrow confident that Cincinnati 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: keeps everyone. They won't t Higgins. This will be his 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: last year on the team, but hey, you go win 33 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl this year and your fun and it's 34 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: worth it. You don't win the Super Bowl this year, 35 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna wish you had traded them for a first 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: round pick, as you could of this offseason. But the 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: latest news in the NFL is the are we you 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: know what? I screwed this up? Possibly? I thought we 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: were gonna start with the Aaron Rodgers news. We will 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: get to the Aaron Rodgers news in just a moment. 41 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: We will start with the Justin Herbert news. My apologies 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: there on the Aaron Rodgers thing. I teased it, and 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: we're not starting with it, but we will get to it. 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is the new highest paid player in the 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: NFL five years, two hundred and sixty two point five 46 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: million dollars. And there is some pushback because he is 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: getting this money before having ever won a playoff game, 48 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: and I understand that, but they also had to pay him. 49 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. All of the other quarterbacks who 50 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: have gotten huge money deals right after the rookie deal 51 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: under the new Twist salary structure, all of those guys 52 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: had won a playoff game except for Kyler, and I 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: think they're gonna regret that and Carson Wentz. But Wentz 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: was in a unique spot because he had played well 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: enough to where his team was positioned for the number 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: one seed. They then ended up winning the Super Bowl. 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: He obviously wasn't playing because he was hurt. But Wentz 58 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: also that deal didn't work out. But Deshaun Lamar held, 59 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones obviously, Mahomes, Jared Goff had been to a 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Go up and down the list. Joe Burrow 61 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: had been to a Super Bowl. He hasn't gotten his 62 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: money yet, but he's about to to a not won 63 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: a playoff game, he didn't get the big money deal. Now, 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is an objectively excellent player, but there is 65 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: still the yeah but of We've seen him play in 66 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: one playoff game and one de facto playoff game, and 67 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: he wasn't great in either spot. The playoff game, when 68 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: the Chargers had a chance to win the game outright, 69 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: essentially to go up by five scores at the end 70 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: of the first half against the Jags, he missed a 71 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: couple of big throws. He then wasn't great in the 72 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: second half and they blow a twenty seven point lead. 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: The de facto playoff game was Week eighteen of the 74 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: year before, and that was when they were playing the 75 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: Raiders and the famous if there's a tie, they both 76 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: go to the playoffs. Now, if you watched that game, 77 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: the last half of the fourth quarter he played perfect football, 78 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 2: but the time leading up to that he struggled mightily, 79 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: which is why they needed him to played great in 80 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: the latter half of the fourth quarter. Then they end 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: up losing in overtime. This is a deal the Chargers 82 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: had to do. It's undeniable. But now Justin Herbert, who 83 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: was so great as a rookie and really sensational in 84 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: year two two, and then last year took a bit 85 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: of a step back. You can say it was the 86 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: injuries on the team. You can say it was the 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 2: cracked ribs. Whatever it was, took a bit of a 88 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: step back. It's now not about the cannon of an 89 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: arm or the raw arm talent or any of that. 90 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: It is more about the actual are you going to 91 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: take the next step? Because in the AFC you have 92 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 2: these eight quarterbacks that are all vying for the argument 93 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: of where am I in the hierarchy? So you have 94 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna listen him in order, I'm just 95 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: gonna go off the top of my head by divisions. 96 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: You have Allen, Rogers and Tua. In the AFC East, 97 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: you have Burrow and Lamar, and some people would throw 98 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: into Shaun Watson. I wouldn't. But in the AFC North 99 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: you Trevor Lawrence in the AFC South, and then you 100 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: obviously have Mahomes and Herbert in the AFC West, and 101 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: again some would throw in Russell Wilson. I won't. That's 102 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: eight guys, all of which, at various times of their 103 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: career have looked like great quarterbacks for Tua. It's the 104 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: smallest sample, but he was playing so great earlier last 105 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: year before the injuries. You're in a weird spot in 106 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: the AFC right now where you can be a really 107 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: good quarterback and average in your conference. So they need 108 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: Herbert undeniably to take that next step forward. Maybe Kellen Moore. 109 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: He will do it with Kellen Moore. But this is 110 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: a massive year for him because after this year, when 111 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: this contract really starts to kick in, it gets so 112 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: much harder for them to build a winner, and you're 113 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: not going to be able to have Mac and Bosa. 114 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: They just drafted Quentin Johnson number one with their number 115 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: one pick, which I love that pick for them, but 116 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: you're not gonna have Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and 117 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: him long term. So you probably have as much talent 118 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: around you as you ever will right now if you're 119 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: the Chargers. So it's a big spot and they're now 120 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: paying him like he is a top five quarterback in football. 121 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: He obviously has top five quarterback talent, he has not 122 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: quite delivered top five quarterback results. We'll see if he 123 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: does all right next. Sean Payton talked to USA today 124 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: and absolutely torched, I mean torched the previous regime in Denver. 125 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: He said, quote, it might have been one of the 126 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. I'll 127 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: read you the full quote. Everybody's got a little stink 128 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: on their hands. It's not just Russell, who was a 129 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: poor offensive line might have been one of the worst 130 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That's how 131 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: bad it was. He also took a shot at the Jets. 132 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you that quote from the article, where 133 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: the full quote is. It doesn't happen often where an 134 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: NFL team or organization gets embarrassed. That happened here. Part 135 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: of it was their own fault relative to spending so 136 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: much time trying to win the offseason, the pr pomp, circumstance, 137 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 2: marching people around and all this stuff. We're not doing 138 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: any of that. The Jets did that this year. You 139 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: watch hard Knocks, all of it. I can see it coming. 140 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: And so he's taken a preemptive shot at the Jets. 141 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: He took a retroactive shot at Nat Hackett and the 142 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: entire Broncos coaching staff, all in service of maybe partially 143 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: his ego, but also in Russell Wilson defense. Guys, I 144 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: watched every single snap Russell Wilson played last year. I 145 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: also watched him his last year in Seattle. This was 146 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: before he got in the NAT hacket business. This was 147 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: a clearly declining player and last year. There's a great 148 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: tweet from Warren Sharp today that I don't know if 149 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: Warren was defending Russ, but Warren puts up the video 150 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: of how embarrassing it was when the Broncos fans were 151 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: counting down the play clock for the Broncos so they 152 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: would stop getting delay of game penalties. And it's a 153 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: three play cut and this we're I'm actually gonna do 154 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: something with this on the TV show today to show 155 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: it to you. But I'll just walk you through it, 156 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: you know, through my words. Here it's a three play 157 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: cut of the play clock winding down and you hear 158 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: the fans in Denver going three two one so they 159 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: don't get a delay of game. And it does show 160 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 2: what a mess the process and the coaching was there. 161 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: But what if you watch the full forty five second cut, 162 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't end right when the ball is snapped. They 163 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: show the three plays and they are three cartoonishly awful 164 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: plays by Russell Wilson after the ball is snapped, And 165 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: so Sean Payton in this article also says. The article 166 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: starts with quote, I'm gonna be pissed off if it 167 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: is not a playoff team. We'll be ready to be 168 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: pissed off, Sean. And the fact of the matter is, 169 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: I just listed, when talking about Justin Herbert, eight AFC 170 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: quarterbacks didn't even I didn't even consider including Russell Wilson 171 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 2: in that group. Nine and ten would probably be DeShawn 172 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: And you would hope Russell Wilson last year he was 173 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: not one of the top twenty five quarterbacks in football. 174 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: Will he bounce back a little? Sure? Will he bounce 175 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 2: back enough that they are going to be able to 176 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: overcome the fact that his five year, two hundred and 177 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: forty five million dollar contract does not even start until 178 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 2: next season. No, they will not. And Sean Payton, the 179 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: level of cock sureness that he is displaying here I 180 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: think could bite him in a real way. Again, I 181 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: think he's a very good coach. I also think, you know, 182 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: I'm seemingly the only person that remembers this or cares 183 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: about this, But Michael Thomas, remember when Michael Thomas was, 184 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: you know, one of the best players in the league, 185 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: set the record for receptions in a season. All of that, 186 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: and then week one of the following season, the the 187 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: Saints were playing the Bucks and blowing them out, and 188 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: Sean Payton wanted to run up the score and with 189 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: like a minute and a half left near the goal line, 190 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: had Michael Thomas in the game and he got rolled 191 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 2: up on and suffered a high ankle sprain that three 192 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 2: years later he has not recovered from. That was Sean 193 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: Payton's ego getting a little bit of the best of him, 194 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: and this interview I do not think is gonna do 195 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: himself any favors. And you never a head coach, certainly 196 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: an active usually even a retired head coach take shots 197 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: at another coach this way. So I'm sure the Jets 198 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: they have set themselves up where the opening month of 199 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,239 Speaker 2: the season for Denver's nice Vegas, Washington, Miami's tough than Chicago. 200 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,119 Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden with them taking preemptive 201 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: shots at the Jets, when their next six games are 202 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: the Jets, the Chiefs, the Packers, the Chiefs again, Buffalo 203 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: Minnesota season could go off the rails on them in 204 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: a real quick hurry before we get to November. And 205 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 2: so I'm not a believer in the Broncos. I wasn't 206 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: a believer in Nat Hackett. I was adamant about that 207 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: all year last year. But he was not the only problem. 208 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: All right, Next, so the Celtics have signed Jalen Brown 209 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: to the biggest contract in NBA history. Our resident Celtics 210 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: fan Demonse sends in a question from Los Angeles, Demonse, 211 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: go right ahead, what's up? What's right? Crew, listeners? 212 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: I saw that a couple of Boston Celtics fans did 213 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: not agree with my take on putting a left handed 214 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: turnover clause in Jalen Brown's new contract. I'm here to 215 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: tell you that I one hundred percent stand on that. 216 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: I still think that they should. 217 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: Obviously, something isn't working with this Jason Tatum and Jalen 218 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: Brown duo. We keep making it so far just to 219 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: squander it. It hurts me. It's annoying. I'd rather us 220 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: just be bad and know that we're bad and nothing's 221 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: to come of it. Then to have these players and 222 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: we have all the necessary tools to make it to 223 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: the finals and win a finals. But we just aren't 224 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: doing it, so I think that something needs to be 225 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 3: switched up. My question for my dad and the listeners, 226 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: do you think that we took a step forward with 227 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: this Jalen Brown thing or a step backwards? In my opinion, 228 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 3: this is a huge step backwards. But let me know 229 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: what you guys think. 230 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: Be so all right. Thank you to Monse, appreciate the question. 231 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: Can't wait till you rejoin us on the pod here 232 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: at the end of August beginning of September. I I 233 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: disagree with the Monse, but he's not entirely wrong. Here's 234 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: where I disagree. You had to sign him to this deal. 235 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: You can't let him become a free agent a year 236 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: from now and walk for nothing. He is one of 237 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: the twenty five best players in the sport. Now. Is 238 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: it an overpay? It is, but it's what it costs 239 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: to keep him, so you have to sign him to 240 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: the deal. Do I think the Celtics are gonna win 241 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: the title this year? I don't. I don't think Kris 242 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: STAPs is enough of a difference maker. And you don't 243 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: know if Kristap's gonna stay healthy. And when they don't, 244 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: now they're the Vegas favorites to win the time. I 245 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: think that's crazy, but they are the Vegas favorites to 246 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: win the title. But when they don't win the title, 247 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Jalen Brown's gonna show up 248 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: in trade rumors again. That's just what's gonna happen. He 249 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: can't be traded now for twelve months, but if they 250 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: don't win the title, to show up in trade rumors again. 251 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: The thing is this, Jalen Brown is good enough to 252 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: be the second best player on a champion. Jalen Brown 253 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: is also not like Jason the problem for the Celtics. 254 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: I want to make sure I'm clear with my words here. 255 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: Tatum is better than Brown. That's undeniable. Brown is good 256 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: enough to be the second best player on a champion. 257 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: Tatum is not good enough to be the best player 258 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: on a champion. Nick, that's unfair. No, it's not best 259 00:16:53,520 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: players on champions again. Guys, since nineteen teen eighty are 260 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: the following Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Larry Bird, Moses Malone with 261 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: Doctor J. But Moses was the best player at that point, 262 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan. I'm not listing every 263 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: champion some of those guys, I am listing every champion, 264 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: but the repeats were only listening him once a. Keem olajuwon, 265 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, put Chauncey billups over here in 266 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: this category, Dwayne Wade with Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett with 267 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: Paul Pearson Ray Allen but kind of put him over 268 00:17:51,359 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: here in this category. Kobe Bryant, Dirk Novitzky Lebron James, 269 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: Steph Curry, Kawhi, Leonard Yannis Jokic. So all of those 270 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: guys that I listed are top twenty all time guys 271 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: except for Chauncey who is the strong outlier, Kevin Garnett, 272 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: who is right on the fringe but had Pierce and 273 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 2: ray Allen with him. You had three top seventy five 274 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: all time guys in their prime, and then Kawhi, who 275 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: was pacing towards being an all timer and injuries derailed it. 276 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: In this league if you and Jokic has become an 277 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: old timer. If you don't have a legend, you don't 278 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: win the title. And Tatum's awesome, but he's not a legend, 279 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: and I don't think he's going to be. Now, you'd 280 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: be like Nick, you didn't think Jokic was gonna be 281 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: that's true, so maybe you'll take a giant leap. But 282 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: I don't see that happening. So the Celtics, they're in 283 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 2: a weird spot because Brown is the movable piece and 284 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: you wouldn't trade Tatum. But if Tatum's your best player, 285 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: probably not winning the championship, just not. And so listen, 286 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 2: they're the Vegas favorites. I could be wrong. I do 287 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: think that they waited to sign Jalen because they don't 288 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: love They don't think the Tatum Brown fit is perfect. 289 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: But you gotta you can't let him walk for nothing. 290 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: And he will be a movable piece even if he is, 291 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: you know, will be upset that for the seventh time 292 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: in eight or for the fifth time in six years, 293 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: he's a part of trade rumors again. All right, Next, 294 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: talk a little col now Boys. Jerry Jones said they've 295 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: got a team that can compete for the top spot. 296 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: I said on TV the Eagles should be worried about 297 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Does that mean you're leaning on the Cowboys? 298 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 2: The producers asked me at plus six hundred to win 299 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: the NFC, I might be I'm gonna I'm not gonna 300 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: give my full We're not doing our NFL preview show. 301 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: But there are a lot of things that I like 302 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: about the Cowboys this year. The coaching staff take out 303 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: the coaching staff, which I don't love. And if you're 304 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: like me and you think the Niners quarterback situation this year, 305 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: they're not They're finally not gonna be able to overcome it. 306 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: And you think the Eagles might have a bit of 307 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl hangover. Who's left in the NFC. The 308 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: Cowboys are the best looking of the remaining teams. Talk 309 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: more about them in a moment, And then the news 310 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 2: from last night. Rogers seemingly I still have almost a 311 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: hard time believing this, but all of the reporting has 312 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: been just flat gave up around thirty five million dollars, 313 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 2: changed his contract to where he add more than one 314 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 2: hundred million guaranteed to now seventy five million guaranteed. Think 315 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: he had one hundred and seven million guaranteed, so it's 316 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: like thirty two million he just gave back. And yes 317 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: there is some irony in you know, the sports world's 318 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: biggest critic of Big Pharma giving Big Pharma's number one 319 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: air Woody Johnson more than thirty million dollar rebate, but 320 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: I'll leave that alone. This objectively helps the Jets. There's 321 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: just there's no shots to take. There's no Yeah. But 322 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: does it maybe are the Packers waking up this morning 323 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 2: like you gotta be efing kidding me? Maybe? Does this 324 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 2: make the trade for Rogers a better trade? Of course? 325 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: Does it give the Jets a better chance to compete 326 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: for a championship over the next two years? Undeniably? Is 327 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: it a shocking move? You don't see guy. You see 328 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: guys restructure contracts, move money around. You don't see guys 329 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 2: flatly give up thirty some million that has already been 330 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: agreed to. You see guys take undermarket deals, those types 331 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: of things. But this contract was signed, they owed him 332 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: this money, he gave it back, So you've got to 333 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 2: give him credit for it, unless there comes out with 334 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: some reporting that, oh, well, actually he's gonna get the 335 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: whole thing. But that doesn't seem to be what it is. 336 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: Tom Pelasaro initially reported it, then everyone had it after 337 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: and they have echoed it. He's flatly giving this money back, 338 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: which the Jets might try to sign Dalvin Cook. They're 339 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: bringing him in today. Hey, Craig Cartin first reported that 340 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: now a lot of people have I it helps them, 341 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 2: and it helps his chances of being able to win 342 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl there, so I'll give him credit for it. 343 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 2: Does it make me change my opinion that the Jets 344 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: are far over hyped? No, it does not. Does it 345 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: make me change my opinion that the Jets are at 346 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: best the seventh playoff team in the AFC and probably 347 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: on the outside looking in. It doesn't, But it does 348 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: help them greatly for next season in twenty twenty four, 349 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: and it does give you real belief that he's planning 350 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: on sticking around for these next two years. And we'll 351 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: see if I'm wrong about him this year. But listen, 352 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 2: I have there are a lot of things Aaron Rodgers 353 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 2: done over the last few years that I've been highly 354 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: critical of. This is truly putting his money where his 355 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 2: mouth is on trying to win a super Bowl with 356 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: the Jets. I don't think they can do it. I 357 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 2: don't think they're that good of a team. And I 358 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: think last year's we talked about it on Tuesday. Their 359 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: seven wins last year one was against Josh Allen, excellent win. 360 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: One was against Aaron Rodgers, very good win, and five 361 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: we're against backup or third string quarterbacks, and so I 362 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: don't and they have a brutal start to the season, 363 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: and they lost six straight in last year. So I 364 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: am not a buyer on the Jets, but this move 365 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: helps them, and it certainly is going to ingratiate himself 366 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: at least temporarily to the New York media, which I 367 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: think will be helpful. And I'm excited to see the 368 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 2: scene on Hard Knocks where they cover it all right, 369 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: quick break, come back, play, a game, a likely, maybe, 370 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: what if?

Reminder, you guys 381 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: can throw your questions into the chat. We'll get to 382 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: him in the next segment. Starting off here with a 383 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 2: player who's not being traded, shoe A Otani. He's off 384 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: the market. And by before I even get to the question, 385 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: this is the right move I said on TV two 386 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 2: weeks ago today? Actually, uh that or actually was two 387 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: weeks ago Wednesday. So I guess fifteen days ago that 388 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: the Angel shouldn't trade him. You have a guy who's 389 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: in the discussion to be the best player in the 390 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: history of the sport. You're a few games out of 391 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 2: the playoffs. You're gonna get Mike trout back, make a push, 392 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 2: and they did. They went out and traded for Giolito 393 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: last night. Has read that this morning. They are trying. 394 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: They are buyers instead of sellers, which is what they 395 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: should be. When you have this guy, and maybe you 396 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: convince him to stay. I don't know, but you're not 397 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: going to get equal return. If Otani actually might be 398 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: the best player ever, you gotta do everything you can 399 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: to keep him. Now, could you get equal return if 400 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: he's leaving in a few months and you miss the playoffs, yes, 401 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: but you roll those dice, try to make a playoff push, 402 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: try to convince him to stay, try to win the 403 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 2: whole damn thing this year when Trout comes back. So, 404 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 2: I think they made the right call there. I applaud 405 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 2: them for that. But the producers wanted to know who 406 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: would get the biggest return in a hypethetical mega trade, Otani, 407 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 2: Giannis or Mahomes, assuming all players are healthy and under 408 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: long term deals. The Andrews Mahomes by a wide margin, 409 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: A wide margin. I if Mahomes were available, you the 410 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: Chiefs could get Herbert Bosa, Derwin James, the three best 411 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: players from the Chargers, and three first round picks. And 412 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: by the way, the Chiefs would say no to that, 413 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: there is not a trade you could make for fair 414 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 2: value for Mahomes. I'm the The Eagles could the offer 415 00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 2: you the best three Hurts plus aj Brown and Hassan 416 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: Reddick and three first round picks, and the Chiefs would 417 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: hang up the phone. There's not a trade that could 418 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: be made. There just isn't. I used to back when 419 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: I did radio in Kansas City, and Rogers was he 420 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: had just won the Super Bowl and was just I 421 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: think going fifteen to one that next year, entering his prime, 422 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: and the Chiefs had no quarterback, and we're about to 423 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: have the number one pick of the draft. Now this 424 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: trade is not allowable in the NFL, but I said, 425 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: the Chiefs should call up Green Bay, offer them the 426 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 2: number one pick, and have the trade actually be we 427 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: trade you our first round pick in perpetuity as long 428 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: as Rogers is on the roster. So it would be 429 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: it would be this is twenty eleven, I guess twelve. 430 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 2: You get the Chiefs first round pick until Aaron Rodgers 431 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: is no longer our quarterback. So that could be eight 432 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: first round picks, nine first round picks, ten first round picks, 433 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: with the belief being that we're gonna be drafting near 434 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: the end of the first round. We're gonna have our quarterback. 435 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: If someone offered that to Kansas City, Kansity would say no. 436 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: If you said, you can have our first round pick 437 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: every year that Mahomes plays for us, could be twelve 438 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: first round picks. The Chiefs would say no. And they 439 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: should say no. You have the most talented player in 440 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: the history of the sport, who, according to NFL history, 441 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: is just now entering his prime. There is no trade 442 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: that could be made. All right, let's play our game. 443 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: Likely Maybe what if Sean McVay was asked about the 444 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: rams projected win total being six and a half, he said, 445 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: they don't believe in us. Is there actually value to 446 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: be had in betting the Rams over? It's likely the 447 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: Rams are terrible. It's likely the Rams are one of 448 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: the five or six worst teams in football. They don't 449 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: have the depth. The Stafford injury is concerning. And listen, 450 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 2: they went all in on the Super Bowl. They won it. 451 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: Credit to them. Would have been really painful if they hadn't. 452 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 2: But now they're entering a long wilderness. Maybe Stafford gets 453 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: traded during the season. Let me look at how the 454 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: Rams season starts. I don't think it's a brutal schedule, 455 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: but well, it's not a good start. It's not a 456 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 2: brutal overall schedule, but it is a brutal beginning of 457 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: the schedule at Seattle home for the Niners, at the Bengals, 458 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: at Indy home for Philly. If they start one in four, 459 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: which they will, If there's a Super Bowl contending team 460 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 2: that suffers a quarterback injury, could you see Stafford traded? Absolutely? Absolutely, 461 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: But what if I I guess the what if would 462 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: be what if Geno massively regresses the Niners quarterback situation's 463 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: too much of a mess. And the NFC West this 464 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 2: year is last year's NFC South and eight wins can 465 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 2: win you the division. But I so I guess the 466 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: what if would be the Yeah, they win a terrible division, 467 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: but I don't see that being realistic at all. All Right, next, 468 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: mac Jones didn't take long This again, I'm reading from 469 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 2: the producers show how great the Pats defense wasn't camp 470 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: first play on seven on sevens the quarterback through an interception? 471 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: Is this guy gonna be good or not? It's likely 472 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: that mac Jones is a top tier backup quarterback, that's 473 00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: who he is, flatly. But maybe mac Jones is actually 474 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: just a bottom tier starter. But what if mac Jones 475 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 2: doesn't even make it through the season because Bailey Zappi 476 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: takes his job. There is no I'm not gonna do 477 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: the well the coordinator's situation was so bad last year, 478 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: It was terrible last year. But Zappi, who I do 479 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: not think is some future star. The two games he played, 480 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: the Patriots offense looks good, looked good. Mac Jones is petulant, 481 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 2: He's immature. He's the only quarterback in the league history 482 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: to be marked a dirty player for what he has 483 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 2: tried to do post turnover with the gator rolling and 484 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: sliding with his cleats up. That was kind of a 485 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: brady thing. But the ankle twisting, I know, I just 486 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna believe in him. I don't think he's good. 487 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: And I talked about him way too much on the 488 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: TV show because a wild so not getting into it now. 489 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Tiki Barber said Daniel Jones would get top 490 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: five quarterback Demons probably agrees. What do you think, Well, 491 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 2: it's likely that Daniel Jones is exactly who smart people think. 492 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: He is a good athlete with strong limitations as a 493 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: quarterback who will put a ceiling on your team as 494 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 2: long as he's your starter. That's the most likely that 495 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: he tops out tops out at the sixteenth best quarterback 496 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: in football. But maybe it's likely Daniel Jones is Dan Jones. 497 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: That's right, But maybe the Giants truly lean into his athleticism, 498 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 2: try to turn him into a very poor poor man's 499 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: Cam Newton, lean on the running and win that way, 500 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 2: and the what if is what if they open up 501 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: the offense this year to see what he can be, 502 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: which they should have done via the franchise tag. Instead, 503 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: they gave him the long term deal, and you realize 504 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 2: you've invested four years, one hundred and sixty million dollars 505 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: into a bad quarterback. So I understand the Daniel Jones 506 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 2: folks were taking a bit of a victory lap after 507 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 2: last year. I understand. No, no, no, it's not the 508 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 2: what if. Demonse was right, it's what if that he's 509 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: that the Giants realize they're screwed because demons likes Daniel Jones. 510 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: I've never I give him credit. He stopped fumbling the 511 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: ball and he didn't throw picks last year, but it's 512 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: because it was a training wheels offense asking him to 513 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: do as little as possible, where he threw fifteen total 514 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 2: touchdown passes. I'm just not even in it. Just I'll 515 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 2: die on that hill, but I'm not gonna die on 516 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: the hill, all right. To brock Purty, brock Purdy has 517 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 2: been given the all clear. They'll continue to follow the 518 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 2: original return playing Shanahan said when he does return, he'll 519 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: be with the starters. Will perty be able to recapture 520 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: his rookie year magic. It's likely Brock Purdy is a 521 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 2: slightly worse version than he was last year. More film 522 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 2: on him, suffered a major injury to his throwing arm, 523 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 2: already had athletic limitations. Maybe Purdy becomes an all time 524 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: Cinderella story in this league. Maybe Purdy builds on last year, 525 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: is even better, and the Niners do have their quarterback 526 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 2: of the future. What if, though, Brock Purdy has to 527 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: miss time and Trey Lance, who this team gave three 528 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 2: first round picks for, has never really played, and they've 529 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 2: seemingly already given up on. What if Trey Lance ends 530 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 2: up being the guy they thought he was when they 531 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 2: drafted him, and the Niners are awesome. I think the Niners' 532 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: only hope of being awesome is if Trey Lance plays. Now. 533 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: It's possible Trey Lance is terrible. The Niners seem to 534 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 2: think he's terrible. I don't. We haven't seen enough from 535 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 2: him in actual football games to determine that. His rookie season, 536 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: he played a game and a half, played well in 537 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 2: one of them. His second year, he played his first 538 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 2: game in a torential downpour in Chicago looked bad and 539 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 2: then broke his leg a couple snaps into Game two. 540 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: But that athleticism in the Shanahan offense would be deadly 541 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 2: and I'd be interested to see it all right. Next, 542 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 2: Travis Kelce has a crush on Taylor Swift. She wouldn't 543 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: see him before or after the show. He really wanted 544 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 2: to give her a friendship bracelet. He said this on 545 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: his great podcast New Heights, which I should be a 546 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,240 Speaker 2: guest on. Come on, Travis and Jason, make that happen. 547 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 2: If they get together break up, there'red one hundred percent 548 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 2: be a song about Travis. What will happen here? It's 549 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 2: likely and I love Travis, you guys know that, But 550 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 2: it's likely. The Taylor Swift is I guess too big 551 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 2: of a celebrity for Travis. I guess if she snubbed him. 552 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 2: I listen, we need Diora here for this segment. I 553 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 2: don't know a ton about Taylor Swift. I know she's 554 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: like neck and neck with Beyonce for the biggest star 555 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: in the world on the musical scene. So maybe she's 556 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 2: too big time, or's likely she's too big time. Maybe 557 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 2: she hears about this and is gonna be like, oh 558 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,479 Speaker 2: my god, I love him. I didn't know he's trunn 559 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: to even be a friendship bracelet, and it starts a 560 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 2: beautiful relationship. What if Taylor Swift just made the bulletin 561 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 2: board for the Chiefs bulletin board on the TV show 562 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 2: be watching today to find out? And then, lastly, what 563 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 2: our great executive producer Matt Ford wanted the entire show 564 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 2: to be about aliens? According to a congressional hearing from yesterday, 565 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 2: aliens are real. Multiple whistleblowers said the US found non 566 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 2: human biological pilots on UFOs. Shortly thereafter, our producer met 567 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 2: freaked out, what does this mean for the world? All Right, 568 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 2: it's likely, in my opinion, that aliens exist but have 569 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 2: not visited Earth, despite this congressional hearing. I was all 570 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 2: in on the congressional hearing, and then I heard one 571 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 2: of the people testifying who was like, well, as I've 572 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 2: explained on my previous interviews on News Nation, I was like, yikes, 573 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: I don't know about that. It's likely they exist, but 574 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: we haven't had any contact. Maybe these people are telling 575 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: the truth. We have had contact and and we're trying 576 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 2: to deal with it on a governmental level, but haven't 577 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,839 Speaker 2: figured out the right way to do it. The what 578 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 2: if is the scariest to me, which is, what if 579 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 2: it's everything they're saying is true. They give us even 580 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 2: more public evidence that it's true, and America collectively shrugs. 581 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 2: That scares me more than any of it, because, you know, 582 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 2: dating back to Hell Independence Day, Great Will Smith movie, 583 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: there was the idea of, yeah, we're polarized and somewhat broken, 584 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: and you know, there's wars and there's there's so much 585 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 2: partisanship and all of that, but if we ever faced 586 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 2: a true existential threat, we would come together. I'm not 587 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 2: sure about it. I'm not sure people would pay that 588 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 2: much attention, and I'm not sure people would come together. 589 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 2: And that's the scarier part for me, And that is 590 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 2: why Matt was so excited for me to talk about this. 591 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 2: But this is actually kind of a depressing topic for me, 592 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 2: because I did think the congressional hearing yesterday was pretty shocking. 593 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 2: And this morning I go to the New York Times 594 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 2: and the top of their website is about US economic recovery, 595 00:40:53,680 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 2: a little on inflation, then there's a Ukraine story. The 596 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: right side of the page is about thirty six hours 597 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 2: in Newport, Rhode Island. The Real college admission scandal. A 598 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 2: Pamela Paul column called Don't call Her Karen, which I 599 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 2: think I would. I would rather be beamed up by 600 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 2: the aliens than read a Christopher Roofok column about how diversity, 601 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 2: equity and inclusion programs are getting in the way of education. 602 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 2: I would rather let the aliens experiment me on me 603 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 2: than read that one. An article about Trump's lawyers. July 604 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 2: is on track to be the hottest month ever. Oh yeah, hey, 605 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: hey world, how would we deal with an existential threat, 606 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 2: be it aliens coming down or the ocean's literally boiling? 607 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 2: Oh we eh, We're gonna do more on the heat wave, 608 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 2: more on colleges and legacy admissions.

Mitch McConnell's weird thing from yesterday. Guys, 614 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 2: I'm still looking for the alien story on the New 615 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 2: York Times article What happened when fifteen of Twitter's top 616 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 2: celebrities joined threads?

When you put 654 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 2: it on your own page, beneath a seven minute listenable 655 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: article about hookup culture and an opinion article about why 656 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,919 Speaker 2: Twitter is now called x and a podcast about the 657 00:45:55,120 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 2: masculinity and modern man, and a long form piece on 658 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 2: the expanding Appalachian Trail. Maybe America's like, it must not 659 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 2: be that big of a deal. The Times isn't covering it, 660 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,399 Speaker 2: and the Post all right, last one and then we'll 661 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 2: move on. Sorry, I didn't expect to go down this 662 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 2: rabbit hole. Wall Street Journal, God, Wall Street Journal won't 663 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 2: even let me go to their front page. If I'm 664 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 2: not a subscriber. That's not true, and I am a subscriber. 665 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 2: I'm just not logged in Wall Street Journal. All right, 666 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 2: they got Hunter Biden. They have a thing on smart guns. 667 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 2: I'm just doing a control f alien nothing uap oh 668 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 2: recommended videos. A video, God dog it, it's a The 669 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 2: only thing on the wash on the Wall Street Journal's 670 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 2: website is their fifth most recommended video is a fifty 671 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 2: nine second recap of this hearing. All right, well we're screwed. 672 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 2: I'm out, We're done. We got we you know what. 673 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 2: We just better hope they're not here, because we're not 674 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: prepared we're not guys, we don't have our a team 675 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 2: on it. We we got we we're in. We're in 676 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 2: real trouble. Okay, answer your listener questions. Next, is I 677 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 2: face a bit of a existential crisis? What's right? All right? 678 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 2: Welcome back in episode one sixty seven, we will now 679 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 2: read the listener questions. Blue Whale asks how does the 680 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 2: alien news affect Lebron's legacy? I know you'd be a smartest, 681 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 2: but here's what is true. If the aliens were to 682 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 2: come down and take over, it would submit Lebron as 683 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 2: the all time goat. Because the worry for Lebron, as 684 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 2: he already is the goat, is, you know, is Wimby 685 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 2: or someone else gonna overtake him? But if the aliens 686 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 2: take over and there's no more Nba, then all his 687 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 2: records stand. You know, in an odd one of the 688 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 2: few winners of an alien takeover would be Lebron James 689 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 2: NBA legacy. Skeeter Andrews asked if you could choose any 690 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 2: three quarterbacks in history to be on the new Netflix 691 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 2: Dot quarterback? Who would you choose in history? Is hard, 692 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 2: but I would want Year two Michael Vick mid Dynasty 693 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 2: Bradshaw and young Marino. You know, I was saying young Marino, 694 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 2: but that made me think of Steve Young. Steve Young 695 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 2: when he took over for Montana would probably be a 696 00:48:52,239 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 2: good one too, But young Vic, dynastic Bradshaw, and and 697 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 2: I think young Marino. I wonder if there's any obvious 698 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 2: ones I'm leaving out. Warren Moon when he finally was 699 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 2: able to come over would be interesting from the usfl uh, 700 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 2: But those are my the The producers ask if Joe 701 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 2: Namath be on there. I I mean, I think I 702 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 2: know what was going on there. I don't. I'm not. 703 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm not that I I know that story, Gabe says 704 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 2: Brett Favre maybe like maybe, but I'm going like no, 705 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 2: I'm I'm going with the ones I said, I think 706 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 2: young Marino who was doing things no one had ever 707 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 2: seen in the history of the league, uh dynasty, Bradshaw 708 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 2: with those Steelers and that era the seventies, and then 709 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,839 Speaker 2: Vick right when he came, you know, a year into 710 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 2: the league, when he was looked like he might take over, 711 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 2: those would be my picks. If Aliens were to visit 712 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 2: and said, bring me your leader. Who are we bringing? 713 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 2: All right? I know that I said, we all couldn't 714 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,320 Speaker 2: like nobody. You know, we're all bipartisan, we're all broken 715 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 2: all these things. 716 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 3: That's fine. 717 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 2: I do think that if it was like, hey, the 718 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:34,359 Speaker 2: aliens are here and they have the ability to annihilate us. 719 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 2: If that's been established, you can bring us one person 720 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 2: to do to talk to them. I even think our 721 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 2: red hatters that watched the show, I even think they 722 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 2: would be like, can we see if Obama's available? And 723 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 2: even even you know, into the biggest Biden supports, be 724 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 2: like Joe, you can see this one out, Don and 725 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 2: Ron and you folks, you guys talk amongst yourselves. Let's 726 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 2: just see if Barrock's got some free time. I think 727 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 2: he's That's the answer if we're being you know, if 728 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: if world annihilation is on the line, here cutlass ass 729 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 2: anyone else think demons looks like Jordan Poole. He's gotten 730 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,720 Speaker 2: that before and I've talked to him about it. Also 731 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,399 Speaker 2: played like Jordan Poole had a lot of the same 732 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,439 Speaker 2: frustrations as Jordan Poole didn't get punched in the face 733 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 2: by a teammate. Though, like Jordan Poole, hat on a 734 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 2: Fox asked you were forcing into a career change, and 735 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 2: you're shoved into the booth to call a game, to 736 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 2: commentary for a specific sport and team. What sport would 737 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 2: it be in for what team? Listen? It's one of 738 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 2: my I hope to do it at some point career 739 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 2: goal is I really really would like to be the 740 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 2: third person in a booth for the NFL or the NBA. 741 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: I don't think I have any real shot of it 742 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 2: happening with the NFL. I think it could happen with 743 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 2: the NBA, but add I think the way we go 744 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 2: to the refs experts for the NFL, we could use 745 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 2: an analytical expert why they're doing this? Was that punt 746 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: the right decision? It kind of cut through it rather 747 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 2: than just saying ah the analytics said and then throw 748 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 2: it out. That would be for the NFL and for 749 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 2: the NBA. There's a lot of interesting strategic things that 750 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 2: have to do with time and score and fouls and 751 00:52:54,680 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 2: things that I feel like get glossed over in in 752 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 2: the regular broadcast that I'd be really good at and 753 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 2: I've always wanted to do it. When I was a 754 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 2: little kid. Actually that was my dream job was NBA 755 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 2: color commentator because I didn't realize you had to be 756 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 2: a basically had to be a former player or coach. 757 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 2: But I mean that's what it would be, and I 758 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 2: hope to be able to do at least one of those. 759 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 2: One day. Chico forty two says Imbape is reportedly going 760 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,799 Speaker 2: to turn down three quarters of a billion dollars. What 761 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't you do for three quarters of a billion? Well, 762 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 2: it's less what wouldn't I do? That's the it's a 763 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 2: weird spot for Imbape because he's already making hundreds of millions, 764 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,360 Speaker 2: so you got to look at it on that level. 765 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 2: But if let's say, because Lebron and Jannis and Draymond 766 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 2: all seemingly joked about going to play in that Saudi 767 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 2: Arabian league, if they ever if they got a league, 768 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 2: or if they set it up and offered him that 769 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 2: type of money. If you're asking me, if they were 770 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: to be offering five x my salary to go over 771 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 2: there and in English obviously be a color commentator for 772 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 2: a Saudi Arabian basketball league, would I do it? It 773 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't be an instant no, And I hope people will 774 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,959 Speaker 2: judge me for that or whatever. That's why I stayed 775 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,799 Speaker 2: out of the lib golf controversy. I think, yeah, you 776 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 2: offer me five x my salary for a couple of years. 777 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 2: It's not a lifetime deal. Be considered. It wouldn't be 778 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 2: dismissed out of hand. I'll tell you that much. All right, 779 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: today it was fun show. We have a massive TV 780 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 2: show scheduled for you today, so I hope you joined 781 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 2: us at three o'clock on FS one.
