00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be another scorcher today in Vegas.

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it was hot, but I

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: saw I saw two thieves stealing hubcaps and they were

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: both wearing oven mits. Speaking of scorchers, did you see

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: the Olympics or the Olympic game today, the men's game

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: against France, especially when France cut the lead to three.

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Hold that thought. I'm gonna come back to it. You know,

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: if you've ever been to a Purdue basketball game, of course,

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: who hasn't They play at Gene Katie Court. Geen Katy

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: was a longtime legendary coaching Purdue, A great guy, but

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: it never even went to a Final four. But I digress.

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: But as Jean Katie was excoriating his team one night,

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: that means he was yelling at him. He told him,

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: he goes, you don't have enough talent to went on

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: talent alone. Well, you know what the US men's team did.

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: And I've been saying it for three weeks now, And

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, between Thursday and Saturday, Steph

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Curry seventeen to three pointers, sixty points, nine rebounds, assists,

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: shot sixty eight percent from behind the arc. And I

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: am telling you it is as clutch of performance as

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: I've seen. We're talking to start Michael Jordan nineteen ninety

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: eight Finals against Utah, Reggie Jackson three home runs in

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: the World Series against the Yankees and three consecutive at bats,

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 2: while Magic Johnson twenty year old Magic Johnson jumping center

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: Game six against the Philadelphia seventy six ers, scoring forty

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: two points, leading the lie to their first championship in

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: ten years, even though he should have been a junior

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: at Michigan State. How about Joe Montana's comeback with a

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: minute thirty eight to go in Super Bowl sixteen, the

37
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: touchdown passed to John Taylor. That's what Curry's performance was

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: like the team they got it done. Was it artistic? No?

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Was it cohesive. No, I don't

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: think so. But I've been saying for three weeks and

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: I will revisit this with Mark Mandine at twelve midnight.

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: When you've got a collection of the best run and

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: jump athletes in the universe, the most skillful athletes in

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: the universe, that's what you need to win these tournaments.

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: He's international tournaments. They played NBA basketball because they're NBA

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: players and they're the best in the world, and they

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: got it done. End of story. I'll give you my

48
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: three takeaways in a minute, but I gotta tell you

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: these are the current don't have royalty in this country.

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: You've heard me say a thousand times. Our athletes and

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: our entertainers, they in fact are our royalty. And when

52
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: you observe what we are able to observe today between

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: twelve thirty Pacific time and two thirty Pacific time, you

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: realize that you're seeing entertainment of the likes that can't

55
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: be artificially created. You know, movie producers, movie screenwriters, they're

56
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: paid a fortune to come up with a script and

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: come up with an ending. How do you come up

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: with an ending that's as compelling? Is what perhaps the

59
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: US men's basketball team was you can't. You can't. That's

60
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: why the beauty of sports is you can script everything.

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: But the ending, I think Steve Kerr said it best.

62
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Every team has great players, we just have more of them.

63
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: And it's true. So when the history books are written,

64
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: the US men's team circle twenty twenty four impair, we'll

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: have won the fifth straight gold medal. And I saw

66
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: relief on their faces. They did not want to be

67
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: this group that you know, lost the gold medal and

68
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: again incredible entertainment. And I give the team credit. They

69
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: did what they were supposed to do. You heard me

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: see the Chris rock line before. Hard to give someone

71
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: credit when they usually don't give someone credit when they

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: did what they're supposed to do. But I give them

73
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: a lot of credit. And in the end they were

74
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: tough too. They were tougher than a two dollars stake.

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: Couple takeaways. A couple takeaways one Steph Curry, Lebron, James

76
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. Have we seen them in their last Olympics? Yeah?

77
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: I think so. You never know of Lebron, He asked

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: the other day, how you know what do people ask

79
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: you about? It? A retirement and Lebron said no, not really.

80
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: They almost never do because for some odd reason they

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: think I'm going to play ten more years. No, Lebron,

82
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: that's not. They don't ask you because you're gonna get

83
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: in some goofy inauthentic phony, long witted word salad answer

84
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: that it'd be inscrutable, and we don't know what you're saying.

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: And you probably don't want to play ten more years

86
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: because you're gonna miss the spotlight a lot more of

87
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: the spotlight'll miss you. But I'm about to give your

88
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: flowers in a second, So just saying out on Lebron,

89
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: but mission complete and give it up to those Big

90
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: three and throw Joel Embiid in there as well. He mattered.

91
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: He mattered against Joker on Thursday, and he mattered Saturday.

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: But look toward the end of the season, KD, Lebron,

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: Stephan ever even been in the Olympics. They committed to

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: going to Paris toward the end of the season, and

95
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: they proved they're still among the best players in the

96
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: world despite the fact they're all in an advanced age

97
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: from an NBA standpoint, So I think it was with

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: apologies to Mike Jordan, Michael Jordan. It was their last dance.

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: By the way, you have to remember this group came

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: when I say a mission accomplished, not just winning the

101
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: gold team. USA came into the Olympics with a point

102
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: to prove because they finished fourth in the twenty twenty

103
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: three Feeble World Cup last year. Maybe they lost to Canada.

104
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 2: We all thought we were heading toward to Canada rematch,

105
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: but Canada played NBA basketball too. You know, you don't

106
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: pass the ball. I watched Shay Gil just just dribble

107
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: down low into a triple team and France thwarted him

108
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: every time. But again, Steve Kurst team was undefeated their

109
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: entire run. They found ways to overcome this French team

110
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: that was very talented in their own right, very driven,

111
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: very tough. But what are you gonna do with Curry's

112
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: just making three? He's you know, like Jason mckilhorn. The

113
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: bottom line is mission accomplished. Number two to the second takeaway.

114
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: Lebron turns forty in a couple months, but he is

115
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: one hell of a force in nature and he proved

116
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: it again among the most talented players in the planet

117
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: throughout the tournament. Now, either you can debate whether or

118
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: not you give Curry the MVP, because if he didn't

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: do what he did, they don't win it. I'm sorry

120
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: he built him out against Serbia big time, and build

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: him on Saturday. Now, France got it to three with

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: about four minutes to go, and then Curry hit three

123
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: more threes. I he got seventeen in two games. But

124
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Lebron throughout the tournament was extremely consistent. Fourteen points, seven rebounds,

125
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: almost nine assists per game, shot sixty six percent from

126
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: the field, and you know very much was a keycock

127
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: and leading the team to a gold medal. And I

128
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: think he was a force of nature and he lit

129
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: the fire, there's no question, made defensive plays, two block shots.

130
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: And today or Saturday against France, Lebron had fourteen points,

131
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: six rebounds, had ten assists. Now you know, has he

132
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: lost a little bit of explosiveness maybe, but not enough

133
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: to have it make a difference, because when he wants

134
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: to play bully ball, at least in the FEBA, he

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: had no trouble and he adapted his game I think,

136
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: to play within the framework of Team USA, whatever that

137
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: framework was. And so look what Lebron did this tournament

138
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: was legendary. Give him his flowers. The third takeaway is

139
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: let's talk about Victor wembin Yama. He had arguably his

140
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: best game of the Olympics when it mattered most playing

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: against a USA All Star team, but he somehow found

142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: ways to crack open the defense. He used his size

143
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: on the defensive end and he hit I think it

144
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: was three of eight from behind the arc. First Olympics tournament,

145
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: there were tremendous expectations, tremendous pressure from the home crowd.

146
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: This team was very aspirational, wanting to win this gold

147
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: medal in the worst way, and I thought Wemby handled

148
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: the expectations admirably. He had all kinds of pressure on

149
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: his shoulders. He performed at a very high level. He

150
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: showed a skill set that is gonna make him maybe

151
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: if things fall into place and they turned him loose

152
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: in San Antonio, he may be the face of the

153
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: league when the big three, KD, Stephan and Lebron move on.

154
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: He's got a silver medal to his name, and he's

155
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: a young dude, and he'll undoubtedly look to continue developing

156
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: his game. He starts his sophomore season here in the

157
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: NBA A couple months, but he's already shown the ceiling

158
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 2: of what he can do, and it's still fairly raw talent.

159
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,600

203
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: Bernie doing great? Lots to talk about, and I've been

204
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: looking forward to this conversation because the universe seems to

205
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: be swirling around three or four of the same stories.

206
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: Let's just start in Dallas. You've got the DAK contract situation,

207
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: the Ceedee Lamb contract situation, You've got the Mike McCarthy

208
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: contract situation, soon to be Michael Parsons. With all that

209
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: swirling around the Cowboys, I don't believe their outlook is

210
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: good this year. Am I wrong?

211
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 6: It depends on what you're really looking for them to do.

212
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 6: It's to win the Super Bowl. I agree with you.

213
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 6: I don't think that they have a particularly easy path

214
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 6: to that goal. And that's even if you don't count

215
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 6: all the various issues they have with the contracts. I'm

216
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 6: sure we'll get into that, but you're just like about

217
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 6: winning their division. I actually don't know if it's that difficult,

218
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 6: Like they're not necessarily going to be the runaway favorite.

219
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 6: The Eagles have comparable talent, but those are really the

220
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 6: only two teams that, on paper have that degree of ability.

221
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 6: So if it's one of two teams, you got to

222
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 6: feel these okay about your chances.

223
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: No, that's an excellent point, Jason, and I should have

224
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: qualified it. I'm going to just break up the party

225
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: right now, and I think they're going eight to nine.

226
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: Their early edule is tough, and I think when they

227
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: get out of September there'll be a whole new sense

228
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: of drama. But let's get back to the contract. So

229
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: that's the elephant in the room. What do you expect

230
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: that will happen with Dak?

231
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 6: I expect that he's going to end up playing out

232
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: this final season of his current contract, or the final

233
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 6: real season of this current contract, and then go into

234
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: undersector free agency next offseason, and from there it's anybody's guest.

235
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 6: I think the situation is a little different for Ceedee Lamb.

236
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: He's much younger. He's someone that if the Cowboys were

237
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 6: going to rebuild like or really reboot this thing the

238
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,359
Speaker 6: way Let's say like the Minnesota Vikings did this offseason.

239
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 6: You want to keep him around because he can be

240
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: a part of your core the next time you're competitive

241
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 6: with Prescott. I mean it's possible that he could be it, right, Like,

242
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 6: it's not like he's forty years old, but he's going

243
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 6: to have a lot of options. His price tag is

244
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: going to be maybe as high as any player we've

245
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 6: ever seen. And maybe you feel like your captain in

246
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: terms of not so your salary cap in you're feeling

247
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 6: with a quarterback like that that he's very very good,

248
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 6: but he isn't necessarily great when you need him to be.

249
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 6: And for those reasons, I think you might see different

250
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: outcomes with those two players.

251
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: So why can't Dak smarten up and take a team

252
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: friendly deal, get the other players paid? Take a page

253
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: out of Patrick Mahomes' book.

254
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 6: Well, for a variety of reasons. One, he's not Patrick

255
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 6: Mahomes right, Like, if he does a team friendly deal,

256
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 6: it doesn't mean that the Cowboys suddenly have the ability

257
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 6: to go win the Super Bowl. Well, you're Patrick Mahomes,

258
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 6: the best quarterback on the planet. You know you can

259
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 6: take a bit of a pay in relative terms, and

260
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 6: have a really good chance at the super Bowl every

261
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: single year. Also, most people don't like to say facas

262
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 6: I don't blame Dak Prescott for wanting to see where

263
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 6: this market goes. And it's not like the Cowboys didn't

264
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 6: have opportunities to sign into a long term deal, you know,

265
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: a year ago, longer than that, Like they could have

266
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: signed to a long term deal if you can really

267
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 6: go back to the individual rookie contract, and he would

268
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 6: have been cheaper for basically this entire five year run

269
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 6: that they've been off. So the Cowboys have always played

270
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 6: it this way where they don't want to really commit

271
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 6: fully to Dak until the last second. And we're getting

272
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: to the point where Dak Prescott is going to be

273
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,119
Speaker 6: a free agent. Is at a time when some quarterback

274
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 6: is going to meet or exceed sixty million dollars in

275
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 6: average annual value, and all those things make it really

276
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: hard for Dak Prescott, I think, to end up in

277
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 6: Dallas in twenty twenty five.

278
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Jason, you bring up a lot of excellent points, articulate

279
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: them perfectly, and you are right. This has been Jerry's

280
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: modus APPARENDI he delays and ends up paying more for

281
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: something he could have gone for perhaps less. I'm of

282
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: the opinion, though, that the market for Dak for the

283
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: money he wants might not be what he thinks it's

284
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: going to be in twenty twenty five. Am I wrong there?

285
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll tell you're definitively wrong. But that's at

286
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 6: least not my expectation you have. You've seen basically all

287
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: of these quarterbacks when they're time to shine get that money,

288
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 6: even Kirk Cousins, who's older and is coming off of

289
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: Torn Achilbes, who's able to get forty six million dollars

290
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 6: in average annual value. Now look at all the contracts

291
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 6: that are signed by quarterbacks after that one, and they

292
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 6: consider that Dak Prescott, at one point in December last season,

293
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 6: was the odds on favorite to win the MVP. I

294
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 6: don't think he's one of the absolute best quarterbacks in

295
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 6: the league, but he's able to play at a very

296
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 6: high level for a full season. And you add all

297
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 6: those things together, I think there's going to be not

298
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 6: just one team, multiple teams. They're going to try to

299
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: get in to join them next offseason. You know, the

300
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: Cowboys and Sylvie in the mix. There. Not totally writing

301
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: off that possibility, but you know, the more time passes,

302
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 6: the harder it is to see the Cowboys committee the

303
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: amount of money that Dak is likely to command on

304
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 6: the open market.

305
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: No, I can't disagree with any of that. I just

306
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: think there's a correction coming a Sam Bradford fifteen years

307
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: ago when they corrected the rookie pay scale. But we'll see,

308
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: we'll see. Let's let's see what plays out. You mentioned

309
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: Philadelphia there my pick to win the NFC East. How

310
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: serious is the rift between Nick Sirianni and galend Hurts.

311
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 6: I don't know, but we can look a lot of

312
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 6: the ancillary details and see there's something strange going on

313
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 6: there that's surely bad. But it's hard to account for

314
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 6: exactly what they're going to do this year.

315
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: Now.

316
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 6: Usually when you see a team replace both their offensive

317
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator, it needs one or two things. Either team

318
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 6: is coming off a great season, and those guys got

319
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 6: hired away where they're coming off of very disappointing season,

320
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 6: and both those guys had to be replaced as a

321
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 6: way of establishing that coach. He got Estalvaging that head

322
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 6: coach in particular, we're in the latter stages of that.

323
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 6: You know, Nick Sirianni and crime jonathons O see last

324
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: season guy he promoted from quarterback coach and he basically

325
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 6: brought into Vic Fangio system via Sean de Side. Neither

326
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 6: of those things worked out, and that's why we have

327
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 6: actual Vic Fangio running the defense now and a Kellen

328
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 6: more offense that is very different from what they have

329
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 6: run at any point under Nick Sirianni's tenure. And it's

330
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 6: really hard for me to see how that plays out.

331
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 6: No necessarily mean it's going to be bad, but this

332
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 6: is a team that's operates in a very particular way

333
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 6: now for about half a decade. They're now transitioning to

334
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 6: something that is very different in some ways good, in

335
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 6: some ways bad. Kellen Moore has never had a consistent

336
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 6: run game at any point when he was the offensive coordinator,

337
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 6: so of his passing game constants have been very creative. Though,

338
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: how do those things match with a Jalen Hurts offense.

339
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 6: You know, he's someone who's a capable passer. You go

340
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: in front of the same category as a lot of

341
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 6: those top end of lead passes terms of arm talent,

342
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 6: and that's why it's really strange when you have an

343
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: offense that's really predicated on those kind of skills, whereas

344
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 6: the things that Jalen Hurts does the best, which when

345
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 6: he's healthy, there's the run game stuff, not just the

346
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 6: tousch push, but all of that mobility day brings that

347
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 6: hasn't really been a forte of the Kellen Moore offense.

348
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 6: So you look at the fact that that's what they're insoling.

349
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 6: That's ultimately Nick Sirianni's call. It is a little strange,

350
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 6: and I wonder if that's good to be a point

351
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 6: of friction throughout the twenty twenty four seasons.

352
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: But the addition of Saquon Barkley, how much does that

353
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: affect a new offensive scheme.

354
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 6: Well, again, it comes back to I don't know what

355
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 6: Kellen Lare is going to do with that run game

356
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 6: because it's been so inconsistent over his time as an

357
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 6: offensive coordinator. I think it's possible given what happened at

358
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 6: geld Hurts last year when he got hurt, I don't

359
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: know that they're going to want to do the touchbush

360
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: with him quite as much as they did not that

361
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 6: they want to move from the offense, but I might

362
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 6: want to protect him in those situations. So what can

363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 6: you do if you want to run that play and

364
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 6: you want to protect your quarterback. Well, Sakawon Barkley actually

365
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 6: could stand in for that, right Like Sakwon Barkley has

366
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 6: basically as good flower by starts as you're going to

367
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 6: see from a non offensive defensive lineman, and could he

368
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 6: sub in there. I mean, he's taken direct stamps before

369
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 6: with the Giants, He's done in college as well. It's

370
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 6: actually possible that he plays this sort of like not

371
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 6: a wildcat quarterback role exactly, but something where he actually

372
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 6: is in some situations basically being the core, even if

373
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 6: it's a designed run play. So I think there's some

374
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 6: creative things that could do there for Saquon Barkley. Addition

375
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 6: is just you know, handing him the ball, you know,

376
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty times a year. But again I

377
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 6: don't really know because we haven't seen this kind of

378
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 6: combination of talents work with an offensive coordinator like Kellen Moore.

379
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 6: If you go extremely well, that's on the table for this,

380
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 6: but it could also be very awkward, especially early in

381
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: the year. And they're still filling it all out.

382
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: I just feel they got Saquon Barkley for a reason. Fair.

383
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean, so again, it has to play out, and

384
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 2: I'm very aware of Kellen Moore and his thoughts and

385
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: I remember him well at Boise State, so we don't

386
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: know what he's going to do. But I would just

387
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: say this that I feel like at the end of

388
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: the day, you may see a more run centric offense

389
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: there because I just feel like they have to say

390
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: Quon Barkley for a reason. But that's just my opinion.

391
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: Real quickly, the Jets, Robert Sala, Aaron Rodgers. We're hearing

392
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: the reports that Rogers looks rific out of camp and

393
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: he's doing rollouts and he's, you know, seems to be

394
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: throwing the ball extremely well. Obviously we know what happened

395
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: in the offseason to trip to Egypt, things of that nature.

396
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: Robert Sala another guy who appears to be on the

397
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: hot seat. So there's a Paul cast over the Jets camp.

398
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Am I overrating that as well?

399
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 6: No, this is a do or die season for this

400
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 6: particular version of the New York Jets. You know, there

401
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 6: might be pieces here that exist in twenty twenty five

402
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 6: in New York. Even if this season doesn't go well,

403
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 6: but it is really hard to see Robert Sala and

404
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 6: that coaching staff surviving. This isn't up being a great

405
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 6: through season. You know, Aaron Rodgers is really running the show.

406
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 6: We've known this since he landed there. But it's also

407
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 6: kind of the reason they were able to survive last

408
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 6: seasons disaster because you know, the lasted four snaps into

409
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 6: the first game of the season. Everyone kind of knew

410
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 6: that there wasn't really a chance for that team to

411
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 6: make a Super Bowl run once Roger was gone, so

412
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 6: their best course of action at that point in time

413
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 6: was to run it all back. So you can understand

414
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 6: how this happens. At the same time, Rogers is going

415
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 6: to be in his age forty one season, I think physically,

416
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 6: as a passer, basically everything is still there. I think

417
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: you've seen that in camp. You know, you can see

418
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 6: the drop off with quarterbacks happen all at once. So

419
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 6: maybe at some point in the year we feel differently

420
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: about that. But mechanically it seems like that is still

421
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 6: part of his.

422
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 3: Game that his mobiles used to be.

423
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 6: But that was true before the Achilles injury too. They

424
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 6: can still build a solid pass of solid pass game

425
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 6: if he's able to be protected. If obviously invested more

426
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 6: of the offensive line, I selve questions there. I saw

427
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 6: some questions about the skill position players around him outside

428
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 6: of Garrett Wilson in Breis Hall, because Alan Lazzard shoots

429
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 6: like he's going to be a relatively major piece of

430
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 6: that offense. Mike Williams is going to be a major

431
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 6: prince of the offense if he's healthy, and that is

432
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: always a question with Michael Williams. So that season could

433
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 6: go in so many different directions even if everyone's tell

434
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 6: and that itself is asian variable there. So it's one

435
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: of the most fascinating situations we're going to see the

436
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 6: NFL this year because of how much weight that organization

437
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 6: is put on this season, and it ended up being

438
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: a great year. It also ended up being basically the

439
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 6: most drama filled season we've seen in sometimes.

440
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 2: Jason, great stuff. As always. I look forward to having

441
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: you on again in a few weeks as we observe

442
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: the Eagles, Jets, and the Cowboys now to navigate this season,

443
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: as you said, all under a lot of pressure. Good stuff, Jason,

444
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: appreciate you, buddy.

445
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: All right, take care, Berne.

446
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: That is Jason Hirshorn. You've heard them on my show

447
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: many times. Award winning NFL college football writer, co founder

448
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: of the League of Green Bay Packers newsletter. Of course,

449
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: he's been with NFL dot Com, esp Nation Sports Illustrated.

450
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: You can clearly see he's got his finger on the

451
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: pulse coming up. I made sure I specifically watched the

452
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: number one over draft pick, the number one overall draft

453
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: pick today and I have some thoughts. But first go

454
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: to a guy of the chef, Kevin Wyer with the latest. Yeah.

455
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: At the Olympics in Paris, it is the United States

456
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 7: claiming their fifth straight gold medal, going back to the

457
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 7: Redeemed team in two thousand and eight. They beat the

458
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 7: host team France ninety eight eighty seven, as Steph Curry

459
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 7: making it rain from three. He hit eight of twelve

460
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 7: shots from beyond the arch. He also nailed four big

461
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 7: ones in the final minutes to really put it away

462
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 7: for the United States. So a team USA once again

463
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 7: the Olympic champions. The USA women's basketball team trying for

464
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 7: the same thing against France. They have that game coming

465
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 7: up on Sunday at nine thirty a m. Eastern time.

466
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 7: Elsewhere in the Olympics, both American men and women taking

467
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 7: home the gold medal in the four by four hundred

468
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 7: meter relay. So the United States one hundred and twenty

469
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 7: two total medals, thirty eight of them gold. The gold

470
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 7: medal count does trail China, who has thirty nine. France

471
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 7: has sixty two total medals, sixteen of them goal the

472
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 7: United States women's soccer team yet again winning a gold medal.

473
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 7: They blink Brazil one at nil. Major League Baseball, it's

474
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 7: still a tie virtual one. On top of the American

475
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 7: League West, the Mariners shout out the Mets four to nothing.

476
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 7: Logan Gilbert seven scoreless innings and six strikeouts for Seattle

477
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 7: and the victory Astros get by the Red Sox five

478
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 7: to four, yard On Alvarez with it two home runs

479
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 7: for Houston. In the National League West, the Dodgers, handing

480
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 7: Paul Skeins his second loss of the season in a

481
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 7: four to one victory, Padres out last of the Marlins

482
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 7: nine to eight extra inning. So the Dodgers lead in

483
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 7: the nl WES six at two and a half games.

484
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 7: In the NFL preseason Caleb Williams four of seven passes

485
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 7: for ninety five yards, a one to one point eight

486
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 7: pass the rating that also included a couple of drops,

487
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 7: one of them by DJ Moore. The Bears do end

488
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 7: up beating the Bills thirty three to six JJ mccarthury

489
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 7: one hundred and eighty eight yards, two touchdowns at and

490
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 7: a pick, as the Viking do beat the Raiders twenty

491
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 7: four to twenty three. Titans over the forty nine or

492
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 7: seventeen thirteen Maleague Willis five to seven of four thirty

493
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 7: eight yards.

494
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 4: Back to you, Bernie.

495
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: We know there's only one real chef, right, that's Kevin Wired,

496
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: although they do call Steph Curry the chef. You know

497
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: about that, right, comes from the Drake song ten years ago,

498
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: zero one hundred to catch up. Well, we'll get to

499
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: that later. We're on those vocal cords up, chef, we'll

500
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: be hearing from you one of your performances here in

501
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: a couple of hours. All right, that was clunky. Well

502
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: i'll tell you what wasn't clunky. Caleb Williams and his

503
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: debut today. I watched closely. I covered the Lions for

504
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: ten years. I believe I know how to evaluate quarterbacks,

505
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: and I would just say this immediately, Caleb Williams made

506
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 2: a great first impression, and I'll tell you why. In

507
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: his very first series, the pocket collapsed, he recognized it

508
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: and made a play and got some positive yardage. He

509
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: made a play, not with his arm, not with his legs,

510
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: with his eyes. Yes, I don't know if it showed

511
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: up on any highlight reel, but I noticed it immediately.

512
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: Had that been justin fields with the Bears, he would

513
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: have taken off running like a whirling dervish and ran

514
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: around sideways for thirty eight yards and gained three yards,

515
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: and people would have said, oh man, what a world

516
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: class athlete. Oh my god, I can't believe it. No,

517
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is a major league quarterback. He's going to

518
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: be a major league quarterback. Why. Because quarterback is a

519
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: position you play with your eyes. You have to have

520
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: a base level of talent to get to the NFL.

521
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: But the thing is you play the position with your

522
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: eyes because you receive the ball, you take mental snap

523
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: shots within less than two seconds, you make a decision

524
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 2: and you execute. And the idea is to recognize what

525
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 2: you see, the decision and execute. And that first little

526
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: shovel pass with three defenders bearing down on him. That

527
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: was vision. That was a play made by his eyes

528
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: because of his recognition. Well, that was just one of

529
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: twenty snaps. That was one of twenty snaps that Caleb

530
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: Williams took Saturday. He had two full drives. And I

531
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: will tell you and I think this dude plays the

532
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: game with joy. He is going to be a unique playmaker.

533
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: There were so many positive takeaways from his debut today.

534
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: This is not hyperbole. Okay, Yes, he was four to

535
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 2: seven pass attempts, as Kevin just said, but there were

536
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: a couple of drops where that would have been better

537
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: ninety five yards. Even had a thirteen yard scramble because

538
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: it was the correct decision with his eyes got the

539
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: Bears into the red zone twice. Both trips resulted in points. Yeah,

540
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: they were field goals. But what Caleb Williams showed is

541
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: an ability to create out of structure when the play

542
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: breaks down. He showed that he could be outside of scheme,

543
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: outside of structure, outside a game plan and make something happen.

544
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: And he did it by showing poise and pocket awareness

545
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: and when he has to make throws and he leaves

546
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: the pocket and keeps plays alive with his feet and

547
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: keeps his eyes downfield. He makes precise throws, at least

548
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: he did Saturday. I don't think it was a fluke.

549
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: His first completion was third and long. He worked through

550
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: his progressions. Go back and watch it, don't take my

551
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: word for it. Found Dj Moore for twelve yards. Then

552
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: he extended a play he threw a seed to co

553
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: Comet while also on the run. And then he later

554
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: on that same drive, he even got cute through a

555
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: little no look pass to DeAndre Swift that resulted in

556
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: a forty two yard game. And uh, look, he also

557
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: so has this odd, weird knap to basically avoid getting it.

558
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: And again, this is a guy who understands how to

559
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: play the position with his eyes. So I think the

560
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: Bears are in good situation. And look, I've been critical

561
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: about justin fields regarding his performance, all right, I never

562
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: believed he was a major league quarterback. I think he's

563
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: a major league athlete. And I thought he was brilliant

564
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: at Ohio State, and I think as a teammate. As

565
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: a professional, he gets a's across the board. But he

566
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: was ten and twenty eight as a starter that ranked

567
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: thirty fourth among all starters in the past three years.

568
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: His QBR was forty sixth that ranked twenty ninth. He

569
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: only averaged one hundred and sixty seven passing yards per

570
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 2: game in this Man's NFL that ranked thirty sixth. He

571
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: only completed fifty nine percent of his passes that ranked

572
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: thirty fourth. In his career forty interception, forty touchdowns, thirty interceptions,

573
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: which rank thirty first. He did run a lot. Hey,

574
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: if you want to enter a punt, pass and kick competition,

575
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: he's your guy, unless, of course, you're going up against

576
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: thirteen year old Andrew Reid on Monday Night football. But

577
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: you get my drift. But it's not translating. It's not

578
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: gonna translate in Pittsburgh either. I wish the guy no

579
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: ill will, but I gotta call him as I see him.

580
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: If I come on the air and talk stupid, then

581
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: I lose credibility. So look, if a miracle is gonna

582
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: happen after thirty eight starts, well so be it. But

583
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: don't tell me show me. Mitch Trubisky was twenty five

584
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: and thirteen as it started for Chicago, completed sixty eight

585
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: percent of his passes got the Bears of the playoffs twice.

586
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: Wouldn't won a playoff game enough for the double doing

587
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: field goal? Oh No, he wasn't good enough. They ran

588
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: him out on a rail. I'm not mixed up. Mitch

589
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: Trubisky would not have gotten into the super Bowl. But

590
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: would you rather go twenty five and thirteen? You're ten

591
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: and twenty eight? Rarely, I can't remember a time when

592
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: I've seen a quarterback get this many chances after forty

593
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: starts in the NFL and showing that unfortunately, this just

594
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: might not be his deal. But I will tell you

595
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: what I saw with Kayleb Williams Saturday really really impressed me.

596
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: All Right, the Olympics, you're in the books, and for

597
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: some reason, there's still one last hurrah about Jason Tatum's

598
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: playing time. But this one comes from a Boston Celtic

599
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: legend who was still at ninety six years young, relevant

600
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: in Boston circles. And he's a six time NBA champion,

601
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: a thirteen time All Star, was an MVP once, and

602
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: his number hangs in the rafters at te Garden. He's

603
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: also regarded as one of the greatest point guards in history.

604
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: But he couldn't resist during the pot when it came

605
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: to Jason Tatum. Final thoughts on that coming up. I'm

00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: an incredible, historic Steph Curry performance. Hit seventeen three pointers

616
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: in the semi final game and the final game, shot

617
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: sixty eight percent from behind the arc, unreal, and all

618
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: of it when it mattered most Just incredible clutch. I

619
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: mean it. I put it up there with Joe Montana's

620
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: drive in the minute thirty eight to go in Super

621
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: Bowl sixteen. Reggie Jackson hitting three dingers in the World

622
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: Series in seventy seven and three at bats against the

623
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers magic. Johnson is a rookie in nineteen eighty, twenty

624
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: years old jumping center beating the Philadelphia seventy six ers

625
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: on the road. What else wanna forget? Michael Jordan making

626
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: a shot in ninety eight against you taught to complete

627
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: the three peat the stuff legends are made of, just incredible.

628
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: What Curry did? You will not forget this maybe ever.

629
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: It is one of those hydrama moments where, let's face it,

630
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 2: can you imagine if he hadn't made those shots, what

631
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 2: the narrative would be? I am telling you this would

632
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: be radio talk fodder forever. That this Stack team that

633
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: beat their chest almost lost to Serbia and then maybe

634
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 2: would have lost to France, which I never thought they

635
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: were gonna do. And if some butts are candy and nuts,

636
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 2: you'll have merry Christmas. So let's steer with the Aaron

637
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 2: Now they won, all right? By the way, you ever

638
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: noticed something? This is kind of random, but this is

639
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: how my brain works. You don't win a silver medal,

640
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: you lose it. You play for the gold medal when

641
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: you lose your award of the silver medal. Meanwhile, you

642
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: gotta win a game to win the bronze. So give

643
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: it up to Serbia who beat Germany. I wonder if

644
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: that game should have been for the silver. So if

645
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: you win the gold medal game, he dropped the bronze

646
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: because you are awarded a silver after losing. Now, granted

647
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: you made it to the gold medal game, all right,

648
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: hashtag random I do it sometimes. No, I haven't been

649
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: drinking in spite of all that. And the great takeaways

650
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: completed the mission lebron being an incredible force of nature

651
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: and Victor Wenby showing up and showing out on the

652
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 2: biggest stage of his life. And once he twelve years old.

653
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: Bob Coozy weighed in on Jason Tatum's benching of Steve Kerr,

654
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: and he said, Kerr made a mistake. All right, Now,

655
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: I know I have a very intelligent audience. But just

656
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: to remind you, Bob Coosey's ninety six years old. He's

657
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: a six time NBA champion, he made the All Star

658
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: Team thirteen times, he was an MVP one year, the

659
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: number of hangs in the rafters, a TV guard, and

660
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: he's viewed as one of the greatest point guards in history.

661
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: And if you hear him talk, I mean he's still vibrant.

662
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: The dude is he has presided over and participated in,

663
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 2: and been a part of, and observed and broadcasted a

664
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of basketball in his lifetime. And there's no

665
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: question he understands the game. He's been a player, he's

666
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: been a coach, he's still a fan, and obviously he's

667
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: sticking up for his fellow Celtic compatriot. But when it

668
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: started Friday again, when Steve Kerr did not play Jason

669
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: Tatum at all and the ninety five ninety one went

670
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 2: over Serbia, and let's be fair to Jason Tatum. He's

671
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: still one of the best rebounders on the team. He

672
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: can operate as a primary playmaker in the half court,

673
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: which they didn't do any of that in this tournament.

674
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: They just readlied on athleticism and startom. And the irony

675
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: is it's in theory. In theory, Tatum's presence might have

676
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 2: solved two of the biggest issues that the USA faced

677
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: on Thursday. And by the way, just to be fair,

678
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 2: I would say that Kouzi isn't the only former NBA

679
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: you know, aficionado to call out Steve Kerr. And for

680
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: what it's worth, Kerr Tatum get into, did get into

681
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: the game for a few minutes Saturday against France. But

682
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: to the people who are invested in this emotionally, like

683
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum's mom and Jason Tatum and now Bob Coosey, Uh,

684
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: they were up in their fields about this. They just

685
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: were I would have predict Tatum will be back in

686
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 2: twenty eight on the team and he'll play a lot,

687
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 2: probably probably be a starter. But here's what Bob Coosey said.

688
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 2: He was speaking to the Boston Club on the record Friday,

689
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 2: and he pulled no punches in his assessment of Steve

690
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: Kerr and Kerr's decision to not play by Koozi's description

691
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: one of the best players in the world, he said, quote,

692
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: when Kerr did it last week, he was in no

693
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: danger of losing the game. But in this case, he's

694
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: talking about Serbia. They got down by seventeen points, and

695
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: he's got to start to worry about losing the game

696
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: and to not let Tatum get off the bench. To me,

697
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: there's got to be some kind of bias that he's

698
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: got against the Celtics. He must think Tatum is a

699
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: detriment and I don't see how he can feel that

700
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 2: way know anything about basketball, whoa shots fired? I have

701
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: a hard time believing that Kerr would see Tatum is

702
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: a detriment and that he's got something against the Celtics.

703
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, man ow old Derek White didn't play

704
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: all Saturday either, But do we really want to do this?

705
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: But that's you know. Look, I met the great announcer

706
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: Johnny most once, the gravelly voiced homer for the Boston

707
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: Celtics legend man, and I asked him a true story.

708
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: I said, Johnny, do you, ever, how do you feel

709
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 2: when people call you a homer? He says, you can't

710
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 2: be in his business and not develop affections. So, hey,

711
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: what did Koozie do? He did the hometown thing, stuck

712
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: up for his guy. But come on, man, they won

713
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: the They won the gold. They were never going to

714
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: lose the gold in my opinion. So, with all due

715
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: respect to Bob Coosey, I don't know if it served

716
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: any fruitful purpose to call out Steve Kerr in the

717
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: manner that he did, But he's Bob Coosey, and you

718
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 2: gotta respect the man. Coming up, we'll bring in Mark Medina.

719
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: We'll try to find out the things we don't know

720
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: what might the Olympics look like in four years in

721
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: LA and plenty of other highjinks in the meantime. Keep

722

Speaker 2: it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on

734
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: Who'd thunk it? They cobble together this team with a

735
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: bunch of guys here in Vegas, against all odds, they

736
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: go to a foreign country and beat everybody.

737
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 8: Well, bert old Bernie, not only will you be darned

738
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 8: that TMOSA want its fifth consecutive gold medal with you know,

739
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 8: the mental Olympic team, but he'll be darned that this

740
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 8: was one entertaining game. You were saying all along that

741
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 8: TMOSA was not putting together entertained performances. I thought this

742
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 8: represented you saw Steph Curry be Steph Curry, Kevin Durant

743
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 8: be Kevin Durant, Lebron James, b Lebron James. Same thing

744
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 8: with Devin Booker, like he has been the unsung hero,

745
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 8: perfect FEBA guy according to Steve Kurse. So I think

746
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 8: they've come a long way since the beginning when you

747
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 8: were lamenting all those tough exhibitions to watch.

748
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't really lamenting anything.

749
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 8: I'll tell pointing out.

750
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: I will clarify what I said in a minute. But

751
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: I want you to talk about Devin Booker because he's

752
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: one of those guys. What he did. A lot of

753
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: what he did didn't necessarily show up in this box

754
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: score that you can make a case you might be

755
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: the most versatible play. All right, let me try that

756
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: again in English, the most versatile player on the team.

757
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 2: Give me your thoughts on Devin Booker, and I hope

758
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: he's back in twenty eight.

759
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 8: Well, there were a lot of things that did show

760
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 8: up in the box score in the Gold Metal game.

761
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 8: Me have fifteen points, but to your larger point, there

762
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 8: were a lot of intangible Steve Kurse said the game

763
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 8: of training camp that he considered him the perfect FEBA

764
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 8: guy because he could fill any sort of role. And

765
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 8: I think that what's fascinating about Devin Booker is that

766
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 8: he has known, you know, in the NBA with his

767
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 8: time and Speene and Phoenix. Is mostly a score, But

768
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 8: I think there's a few things we have to consider

769
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 8: about Devon. In the last few seasons, he's shown that

770
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 8: he's more than just a score. He's been a William passer,

771
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 8: He's been a great defender. But I think he saw

772
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 8: that in full bloom with Team USA because he wasn't

773
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 8: going to be the main guy. He was going to

774
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 8: be a utility, irrotational piece. So his role changed, but

775
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 8: he mostly started. And the bottom line is he started

776
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 8: because he played so well with guys like Lebron James

777
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 8: and Steph Curry and Joel Beid and Kevin Durant. Now

778
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 8: to your question, will Devin Booker play in twenty twenty eight,

779
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 8: I would think, I mean, he would still be in

780
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 8: the league as an established VET, but I think there's

781
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 8: a lot of open question marks about what that team

782
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 8: will look like because I'm going to go on a

783
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 8: limb here like this is Lebron, James, Kevin Durant and

784
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 8: Steph Curry's last Olympic ground. I know that they like

785
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 8: to fight Father Time, but I think by twenty twenty eight,

786
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 8: father Time world long.

787
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: So just to correct the record, I've been saying for

788
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: three weeks, I thought this team would not lose a game.

789
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: They would go eleven or oh they did, maybe the

790
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: margin bear. I don't like their style of play. I

791
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: don't think they were cohesive. I don't think they were artistic.

792
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 2: But when you have twelve the greatest run and jump

793
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: physical specimens on the planet, you get eight minutes to

794
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: go against Serbia and you see what Steph Curry did. Listen.

795
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 2: I think Steve Kurtz said it best. He said every

796
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: team has great players, we just have more of them.

797
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: So when I saw what Steph Curry did Thursday and

798
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: then turn around and did it again Saturday, seventeen to

799
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: three pointers, I put it on par with Joe Montana's performances.

800
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson in three home runs in the World Series,

801
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan in the nineteen ninety eight finals, Magic when

802
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: he was a rookie at Philadelphia, and I mean it,

803
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: but it was that kind of greatness that caused it,

804
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 2: that caused that created the gold medal performance. Now here's

805
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: where I'm going with this. Was I entertained, Yes, because

806
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: there was true drama. There was a chance Serbia could

807
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: beat them. There was a chance France could beat them,

808
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: so that created natural drama. But I don't think it

809
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: was artistic basketball. I think it was drama because you

810
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: saw the relief on the faces of the coaches. The

811
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 2: ninety two team played with joy. These guys were so relieved.

812
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: It was like they thought they were going to jail

813
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: and found out they didn't have to.

814
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 8: Well, you do make a lot of good points, but

815
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 8: I won't say that we can't compare nineteen ninety two

816
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 8: to anyone. I mean, the ships sailed, Yes, the players

817
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 8: on that team were great. But I think we also

818
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 8: keep in mind that the let's just call a spade

819
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 8: of spared. They were playing against scrubs in the Barcelona there,

820
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 8: like they.

821
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: All Crush had three starters in the NBA including coach.

822
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 8: Coach Yeah, okay, but they were about thirty five. You

823
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 8: fast forward, now you had four. You had Canada's roster

824
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 8: was we had NBA teams. You had France, who has

825
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 8: a generational start in the make game with Victor one Banama.

826
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 8: You had Serbia who has an MVP with Nicolo coach.

827
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 8: So yeah, okay, Crolesia had Tony ku coach and that

828
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 8: was a fun game within a game because Michael Jordan

829
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 8: and Scottie Pippen didn't like how Jerry Krouse is, you know,

830
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 8: just making Tony Kuk coach out to be the next messiah.

831
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 8: But my larger point is the international game has changed

832
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 8: so much for ninety two till now that we're not

833
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 8: going to see that kind of margin of victory.

834
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 2: Well, fair enough.

835
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 8: What I am agreeing with you is that is that

836
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 8: for the US to win gold this year, it required

837
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 8: them to play at their absolute best and rely on

838
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 8: their absolute best players. If Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and

839
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 8: Lebron James were on the team, they wouldn't have won

840
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 8: a gold medal. And now when you look at twenty

841
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 8: twenty eight, there's going to be questions on how do

842
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 8: they fill those vacancies. They're pretty hard vacancies because those

843
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 8: are generational stars. Now, some might say, well four years

844
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 8: is a long time. That's true when you look at

845
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 8: some of the natural possibilities that will fill that roster

846
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 8: with Anthony Edwards, Jason Tatum. I think Jalen Brown will

847
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 8: eventually get over and he'll be available in twenty twenty eight.

848
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 8: We don't know if any of those combinations or you know,

849
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 8: Cooper Flag will be generational stars by that point. And

850
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 8: that's going to make for a very intriguing Olympics, because,

851
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 8: as we saw in the Feeble World Cup, when they

852
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 8: don't have their best players, they're as vulnerable as any

853
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 8: other international team in that tournament.

854
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: All Right, we're going to save this for a future show.

855
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: We're going to have an intellectual discussion. There's a reason

856
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 2: that the NBA didn't scout or will sign feeble players

857
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: thirty years ago because it was too restrictive the economic

858
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: and legal aspects transfering these players. They couldn't move, it

859
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 2: was almost impossible. So there were plenty of great athletes

860
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: back then too, to why they beat John Thompson in

861
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight or nineteen eighty eight, we didn't win

862
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: it in two thousand and four. It's an argument. We're

863
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: going to have a different day. I'm going to give

864
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: this team their props, but they had individual guys that

865
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: were too good. Shaye Gilgis tried to dribble down low

866
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: against France time and time again playing NBA one on

867
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: one basketball, and France wasn't having it. So the bottom

868
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 2: line is, I want to give this team their flowers,

869
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 2: but I also want to analyze it in a slightly

870
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 2: different way. And I'm not one of those people that

871
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: likes to compare eras like that. But the dream team

872
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 2: to me, come on the nineteen Championships, twelve Hall of Famers,

873
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: anybody that this is them. They didn't see him play

874
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: and not in person. By the way, I want to

875
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 2: talk about Lebron winning the MVP. I think he's very deserving.

876
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 2: He was extremely consistent. He was a force of nature

877
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: throughout the entire tournament, including in the blowouts. Mark, you

878
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 2: had their first three games they won by a total

879
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: in ninety six points. So they did win by those

880
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: types of margins this year. But let's talk about Curry.

881
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 2: Could you make a case for Curry as the MVP, Mark,

882
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 2: because without what he did in the final five minutes

883
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 2: again Serbia in the final four minute Saturday, they would

884
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 2: not have won.

885
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's a tough decision, but I will

886
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 8: say this. I mean when you look at Lebron, Steph

887
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 8: and Durant, if any of those three players weren't on

888
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 8: the team, they won't have won gold. And so yes,

889
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 8: obviously Steph has that case with how great of a

890
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 8: shooting performance he had these past two games that he

891
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 8: made Steph Curry type baskets when Tmusa needed the most.

892
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 8: But I think if we're going to reward the MVP,

893
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 8: he got to go with the one who was consistent

894
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 8: from start to finish, and that was Lebron James. I mean,

895
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 8: Kevin Durant didn't play any exhibitions because of his injury,

896
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 8: and he was very prolific coming off the bench, but

897
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 8: Lebron had a bigger role as a starter. Steph Curry.

898
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 8: He was still valuable as a for spacer the gravity

899
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 8: of the passing. But Lebron James was the best player

900
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 8: at the beginning and he was the best player at

901
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 8: the end. So I have no problem with him winning

902
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 8: the MVP award. I mean, he was almost a walking

903
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 8: triple double every single night he was.

904
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 2: He was a force of nature. He lit the fire,

905
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 2: he set a tone his defense, Ye, he's and he

906
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 2: shot the ball pretty well. All those things. Finally, Mark,

907
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Victor Wembinyama. Nine months ago,

908
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 2: I questioned whether or not he would be able to

909
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 2: handle the big bodies, how he would deal with ballhawking defenders,

910
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: what his perimeter defense would look like defending wings in

911
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 2: the league. Look what the kid did on Saturday. Is

912
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: he the next face of the league when the big

913
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 2: three you just mentioned move along? Because Wemby found ways

914
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: to crack open the defense Saturday. He used his size

915
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: well in the defensive end. He had I think he'd

916
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: made three three pointers, showed a lot of poise for

917
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: a young man. He's come a long way. Is he

918
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 2: the face of the league in the future.

919
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 8: Well, he will be the face in the league in

920
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 8: the future, but I don't think it's next season or

921
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 8: even when Lebron James Kevin Durant retire, only because you

922
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 8: look at the interim. Who are the teams that are

923
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 8: favored to win championships right now? The Boston Celtics, the

924
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 8: Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, throw the Denver Nuggets in there,

925
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 8: and so I fully expect that Victor one Binama is

926
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 8: going to continue to show that he's a star. The

927
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 8: Spurs will be better now that they have some good

928
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 8: veterans like Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes. But I don't

929
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 8: think it's like next season the Spurs are back to

930
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 8: what they were during the Tim Duncan era, where they're

931
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 8: making playoffs. I think they won't be in the lottery,

932
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 8: but I don't see them making a deep playoff run

933
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 8: if at all. So yeah, he will be the face

934
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 8: of the NBA, but I would say he'll be the

935
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 8: face of the NBA by the time the next Olympics

936
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 8: come around.

937
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 2: I want to throw one more name, Matt you final thing.

938
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 2: I want to give my flowers to Jolianbiid, who joking

939
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 2: he said two weeks ago. Maybe I wasn't joking. The

940
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: should left him home. I thought he was a good

941
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: but Mark, I want to get your thoughts. But honestly,

942
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 2: I thought he was a great foil against Jokic on Thursday.

943
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: He got some big buckets in the fourth quarter when

944
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: he needed. I know the French are angry with Embiid

945
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 2: because he, you know, received French citizenship a couple of

946
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: years ago, but then he came and played for the US.

947
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 2: Could you make a case without winby on the floor

948
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: Thursday and the key plays he made, uh, Serbia might

949
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: have prevailed.

950
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I would say the same thing, uh, you know,

951
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 8: with how he played against France as he played on Serbia.

952
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 8: He played, he had some big performances on both ends

953
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 8: of the floor. He didn't have a perfect Olympic run.

954
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 8: But I think that the Team USA, they're very mindful

955
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 8: of why they recruit him in the first place. He

956
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 8: showing Embiid obviously, but two Uh, you know, they fell

957
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 8: short in the fieldal World Cup last year because they

958
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 8: didn't have a traditional big man. They needed size because

959
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 8: that's how you know, a lot of the inn national

960
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 8: players are. You know, their teams are constructed. So I

961
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 8: think Anthony Davis bam out of Bio collectively had better games,

962
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 8: but for matchup purposes, they still needed a traditional big

963
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 8: man when he was going up a traditional big man.

964
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 8: I think the good thing and the underrated thing about

965
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 8: Team USA is their calling hard was having defensive versatility

966
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 8: and that really was I think epitomized with the center

967
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 8: position where they had Joel Embiid be that traditional guy

968
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 8: to get physical and even if he had limitations, it

969
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 8: was still valuable because of that presence. But the good

970
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 8: thing is they could rely on more mobile bigs like

971
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 8: ad and out of Bio so that they could, you know,

972
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 8: cover other types of defensive assignments and offensive matchups.

973
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: Last thing, Mark, I know a lot was made to

974
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: the Jason Tatum situation. My belief is to be back

975
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 2: on the team in twenty twenty eight and play a

976
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 2: key role.

977
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, yeah, help me back.

978
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 8: I mean four years from now is a lot and

979
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 8: he'll be even a better player, no doubt. I'm sure

980
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 8: he's frustrated he didn't play a lot, but I don't

981
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 8: think that he's going to you know, stew about it

982
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 8: or anything. It might make for good motivation during the

983
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 8: regular season the NBA, But all these players knew what

984
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 8: they signed up for that when you're with USA, your

985
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 8: role is going to change. And clearly there was a

986
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 8: definitive and very strong separation between the talent level of Lebron,

987
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 8: Durant and Steph versus everybody else, and so everybody else's

988
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 8: role was going to be up for grabs. Those were

989
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 8: only the three players that they knew they were going

990
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 8: to be the guy, and in Durant's case, he came

991
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 8: off the bench not because Steve Kurr is trying to

992
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 8: be cute, it was he had an injury and they

993
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 8: wanted to manage his workload, and Durant was okay with that.

994
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 8: So if I'm Jason Tatum, I'm telling you know his

995
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 8: close ones, including with all due respect to his mom,

996
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 8: to just you know, lay well and not make a.

997
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 2: Big yeah yeah he Mark, great stuff. Next week we'll

998
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 2: get into the meat of what promises to be a

999
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: pretty fun upcoming NBA season.

1000
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,799

1013
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh thing. Oh my god, the NCAA and Harbor

1014
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 2: go back and forth like a high school sophomore couple

Speaker 2: Michigan's latest middle finger back to the NCAA. But speaking

1018
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: of middle fingers, Den, I'm Sanders. I've always liked a lot,

1019
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 2: but this is gonna be This might be a long season,

1020
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 2: not just down the field, but off the field, especially

1021
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 2: when you consider Dion's latest little combative viral issue went

1022
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: viral with reporters. Let's give it a listen.

1023
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 4: Eric Christensen with CBS Sports Colorado.

1024
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,240
Speaker 9: Tyler, I'm not doing none with CBS.

1025
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: Next question, I go with you. This is above that.

1026
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 9: I got none to do with you. I got love

1027
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 9: for you, I appreciate, respect you, and got none to

1028
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 9: do with you. They know what they did.

1029
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm here at Denver, not National.

1030
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 9: You are who you are, CBS, the CBS all right

1031
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 9: with you. I respect you, That's why I told you.

1032
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 9: I'm looking at you in the as a man. I

1033
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 9: respect you, I got love for you. But what they

1034
00:55:59,000 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 9: did was foul.

1035
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, and thanks Bree for grabbing that.

1036
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. What's happening now is the bloom is

1037
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 2: off the rose Man, the honeymoon is way over. They

1038
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 2: started out three and oh last year of Colorado. They

1039
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: were the rage. They were the place to be. They

1040
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 2: were like Club fifty four New York with football. Now

1041
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 2: what's happening now is Dion Sanders has legitimate doubters and

1042
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 2: they are standing up front and center, not afraid to talk.

1043
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 2: And that press conference wasn't the only one where Dion

1044
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: has been combative. I think it was. I think it

1045
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 2: was Friday. It might have been Friday, maybe Thursday. Actually

1046
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: it was Friday. You heard the sound. But Bree gave

1047
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 2: us where Dion refused to take questions from the one journalist,

1048
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 2: but then he took on another one over a perceived bias.

1049
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: That one happened to do with not a guy from CBS,

1050
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 2: but a gentleman by the name of Sean Keeler the

1051
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 2: Denver Post, who has more than once been somewhat critical

1052
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: of Dion Sanders and his approach at Colorado. Way back

1053
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 2: in April, Keeler wrote a column that was criticizing Dion

1054
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 2: Sanders because at that point they were having somewhat of

1055
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 2: a mass exodus of players into the transfer portal, and

1056
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: Keeler went on to imply that the reason the players

1057
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 2: were transferring was because of Dion Sanders. Dean's not a

1058
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 2: stupid person, He's got a long memory. He remembered that

1059
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: Sean Keeler had written that article, and apparently later in

1060
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 2: that same press conference, he would not let Keeler ask

1061
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: his question. Instead, he took on Keeler, who's a Denver reporter,

1062
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: and he said, look, why are you always talking bad

1063
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 2: about me in the program? He confronted Keeller about why

1064
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 2: do you bother covering the team? Even because you don't

1065
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 2: like Dion Sanders. You don't like me, there's a perceived dislike.

1066
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 2: Why do you bother covering us? The quote was you

1067
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 2: don't like us? Man? Why do you do this to yourself?

1068
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 2: Which is the exact question Sanders asked Keeler, because no,

1069
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm serious, why do you do this? It would be

1070
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: hard for me to really engage in someone I don't

1071
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: like or something I don't like. I'm just asking why

1072
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: what did I do? You're always on the attack? What

1073
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 2: did we do? Okay, now this is the Denver media,

1074
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 2: which is not that bad. I have Darren McKee on

1075
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: my show and Chad Andrews. Good guys. They're honest, they're smart,

1076
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: but they're nothing like the New York media. Come on, man,

1077
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: can you imagine if Dion worked in a different market

1078
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: where it was a little bit more you know, caustic.

1079
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 2: So Keeller responded, or he attempted to respond by saying, look,

1080
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 2: I got no personal issues with Dion Sanders, and I'm

1081
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 2: not on the attack. And then Dion, you know, was

1082
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: holding court. He said he wanted to help and the

1083
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 2: attacks are not normal. And despite the fact that Keeler

1084
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: said all he had was a football question this time,

1085
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 2: Sanders refused to take the question. At least he engaged

1086
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: with Keeler. The sound you just heard that Bree Davis

1087
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 2: was from a CBS reporter named Eric Christensen. You heard

1088
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,479
Speaker 2: in that SoundBite. Sanders completely brushed him off, immediately brushed

1089
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 2: him off so he would not take any questions. He said, man,

1090
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to do with you. I got

1091
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 2: love for you. Really, he's got a funny way of

1092
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 2: showing it. I respect you, I appreciate you. Ain't got

1093
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: nothing to do with you. They know what they did,

1094
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: Christiansen pointed out, though he was also local in Denver,

1095
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 2: but it was not even affiliated with the CBS Sports

1096
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 2: National Operation. Sanders didn't care. We don't know who you

1097
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 2: are CBS. To CBS, whether they did was foul, well,

1098
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: I actually don't know. I don't really know what CBS

1099
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: did exactly to piss off Dion Sanders. But apparently CBS

1100
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: had a website again many many months ago that ranked

1101
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 2: every Power Conference coach from one to sixty eight. So

1102
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 2: they ranked the coaches from one to sixty eight. And

1103
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: apparently in this website I haven't seen it, just heard

1104
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: about it, out of sixty eight coaches, Sanders ranked sixty first,

1105
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: so he was in like the bottom seven. And I

1106
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: don't think this reporter, Eric Christensen had anything to do

1107
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 2: with that, and he said, look, you know, I'm here

1108
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: in Denver. We had nothing to do with that report. Man.

1109
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: Sanders didn't care. He didn't care. He is never been

1110
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: shy about engaging reporters that he think provide negative coverage

1111
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 2: of the team. All right, keep an eye on this

1112
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 2: if Colorado starts to lose, and if they don't get

1113
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 2: off the start they had in the twenty twenty three season. Remember,

1114
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 2: they open up against North Dakota State, which is a

1115
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 2: is a tough team that will run the ball and

1116
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 2: win in the trenches. Do I think Colorado's gonna lose

1117
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 2: a game. No, But the following week Colorado goes to Nebraska,

1118
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 2: and if you look at Colorado's schedule, they could start

1119
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 2: o under five hundred and things could wear a thin,

1120
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: and if they don't improve on a four and eight

1121
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 2: record last year, this could really start to go off

1122
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,959
Speaker 2: the reels. I never thought i'd see this. I gotta

1123
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: tell you, I like Deon Sanders, and he's done a

1124
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 2: lot in the world. But sometimes you find out about

1125
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: people in odd ways, and I'm a little surprised he's

1126
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 2: going on the offensive so much. And the season that

1127
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: hasn't even started yet could be a poor tent for

1128
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 2: things to come good for our business. But you know,

1129
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm already very much looking forward to that game against

1130
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: North Dakota State here coming up two weeks from next

1131
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 2: I believe it's two weeks from next. Saturday might be

1132
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: a Friday game. I'm not sure. I have to look

1133
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 2: it up. Coming up another coach who has a contentious

1134
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 2: deal not with the media but with the NCAA god

1135
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: by the name of Jim Harbaugh. I'm gonna tell you

1136
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 2: what's going on there, because it's starting to rear its

1137
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: head even though hardball is long gone for mann Arbor.

1138
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 2: But first, let's go back to our guy, the chef

1139
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyre.

1140
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 7: At the Olympic Games in Paris. It is the US

1141
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 7: men's basketball team taking yet another gold medal, the fifth

1142
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 7: straight one they have won going back to two thousand

1143
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 7: and eight, and that redeemed team. It is a ninety

1144
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 7: eight eighty seven victory against Franz Steph Curry. A big

1145
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 7: part of that is he makes it rain going eight

1146
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 7: to twelve from beyond the three point zo for them

1147
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 7: coming down the stretch to help secure the Olympic gold

1148
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 7: for the United States. Dates and on the women's side

1149
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 7: of the things, it will be the same two countries

1150
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 7: Sunday morning going for the gold medal, the United States

1151
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 7: and France. Tip off of that game set for nine

1152
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 7: to thirty Eastern time. The US women's soccer team gold

1153
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 7: medal winners after they shut out Brazil won nothing and

1154
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 7: track the American men and women take home the gold

1155
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 7: in the four by four hundred meter relay and the

1156
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 7: United States thirty eight gold medals. They do trail China

1157
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 7: by one. They have thirty nine. France does have sixteen

1158
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 7: gold and sixty two medals overall. In Major League Baseball,

1159
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 7: it is the Mariners shutting up the Mets four nothing,

1160
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 7: Logan Gilbert seven scoreless sittings with six strikeouts. The Astros

1161
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 7: beat the Red Sox five to four. As you're on

1162
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 7: Alvarez two home runs for Houston, so it is still

1163
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 7: a virtual tie atop of the AL West. Houston is

1164
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 7: in front by percentage points, but they are in a

1165
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 7: virtual tie with the Mariners for first place. The Dodgers

1166
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 7: hand Paul Skins his second loss of the season as

1167
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 7: they beat the Pirates four to one. Padres that last

1168
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 7: to Marwe eight in extra innings, so the Dodgers lead

1169
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 7: in the NLS still sits at two in a half games.

1170
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 7: Elsewhere in Major League Baseball, the Yankees shut out the

1171
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 7: Rangers eight nothing, Blue Jays fall to the Athletics won nothing.

1172
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 7: Giants beat the Tigers three to one. Rangers over the

1173
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 7: Yankees in the second game with that doubleheader nine to four.

1174
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 7: Nationals and Angels go to extra innings. Washington wins at

1175
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 7: five to four. Brewers over the Reds won nothing. Guardians

1176
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 7: top the Twins two to one. The Royals beat the

1177
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 7: Cardinals eight to three, Orioles over the Rays seven to five.

1178
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 7: Battle of the Windy City go to the Cubs, they

1179
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 7: win it three to one. Braves top the Rockies eleven

1180
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 7: to eight, Diamondbacks over the Phillies eleven to one. And

1181
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 7: in the NFL preseason, first week of the full slate

1182
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 7: of preseason games, and Caleb Williams making his debut for

1183
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 7: the Bears look very impressive, completing four to seven passes

1184
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 7: for ninety five yards. In the couple of those incompletions

1185
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 7: that could have been caught, they were dropped, so he

1186
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 7: looked very impressive. The Bears beat the Bills thirty three

1187
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 7: to six. JJ McCarthy not a bad outing for the Vikings.

1188
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 7: They beat the Raiders twenty four to twenty three's McCarthy

1189
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 7: throws for one hundred and eighty eight yards and a

1190
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 7: couple of touchdowns. Also did have himself in interception. Malik

1191
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 7: Willis five to seven and thirty eight yards for Tennessee

1192
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 7: as they beat the forty nine Ers seventeen to thirteen,

1193
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 7: back to you, Bernie.

1194
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 2: All right, chef for them up those vocal cords. We'll

1195
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 2: see you in an hour. So I just used the

1196
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 2: phraseology middle finger, because that's exactly what I think the

1197
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 2: University of Michigan just did. Back to the NCAA, let

1198
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 2: me set this up. The Michigan Wolverines open up. The

1199
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 2: defending national champion Michigan Wolverines opened up their season on

1200
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 2: August thirty first, Saturday, August thirty first, against Fresno State.

1201
01:05:53,200 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 2: Now why is that significant? Let me try to put

1202
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 2: this in the proper order. Michigan announced yesterday that Jim

1203
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: Harbaugh will serve as the Michigan Wolverine's honorary captain that day. Well,

1204
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 2: as you have observed in the last few days and

1205
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 2: in the last few months, Jim Harbaugh the last few years,

1206
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 2: Harbaugh has been highly scrutinized, and this move to name

1207
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: him honorary captain Saturday, Autust thirty first comes in kind

1208
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: of in the midst of very considerable uncertainty which surrounds

1209
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 2: the potential of the Wolveriness football future as the NCAA

1210
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 2: continues to investigate the allegations of science stealing under Harbaugh's regime.

1211
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 2: By the way, Netflix will have a thing on Connor

1212
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 2: Stallion's justice. Last Wednesday, Jim Harbaugh, who's obviously been with

1213
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: the Chargers now since January twenty fourth, personally received a

1214
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 2: four year show cause order from the NCAA, which stems

1215
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 2: from a separate case involving in permission impermissible recruiting practices.

1216
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 2: He's bought a kid a cheeseburger during COVID, and you know,

1217
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: the cheeseburger is always worse than the cover up. And

1218
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. Now. What do I think it's

1219
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 2: gonna happen to Michigan football from here on out? Not

1220
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 2: a lot. There's not going to be any retroactive stuff.

1221
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 2: They're not going to vacate wins. They're not going to

1222
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 2: vacate a championship or the Big Ten champion, none of that.

1223
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 2: And I think the investigation is going to draw it.

1224
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 2: I was just in Michigan this week. I talked to

1225
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 2: some people still very connected to the program. I think

1226
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 2: this will drag into the spring. Worst case scenario, maybe sure,

1227
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,959
Speaker 2: own Morris suspended a game or two, but I think

1228
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: I actually think this is going to drag into the spring,

1229
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 2: and there'll be something happened, maybe in the spring, minor

1230
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 2: slap on the wrist, but the fact that Michigan did

1231
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 2: this is again a middle finger back to the NCAA.

1232
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Because the NCAA announced again a four year show cause

1233
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 2: order for Jim Harbaugh for, as I said, the impermissible

1234
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 2: contact that he had with recruits during the COVID pandemic

1235
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 2: when they were even more restricted. What does that mean?

1236
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: What does the show cause mean? It pans in from

1237
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 2: working in college athletics until August twenty twenty eight. Are

1238
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 2: we really doing this? What's Carl Harball got a five

1239
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 2: year contract with the Chargers, so we can't work in

1240
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: colls the next four years. Yeah, that's really a shame.

1241
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: He was looking at maybe latch on at Bowling Green

1242
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 2: in two years. What are we doing here? All right?

1243
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 2: Everybody saw that Harball left the alma mater to coach

1244
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 2: the Chargers after the National championship, and you know, he's

1245
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 2: being accused of being engaged in unethical conduct and failed

1246
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 2: to promote an atmosphere of compliance and that he violated

1247
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 2: head coach responsibile obligations. He was suspended six games last year,

1248
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 2: and the NCAA already put Michigan on three years of

1249
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 2: probation along with the final recruiting limits, after they had

1250
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 2: sort of a negotiated resolution what six eight months ago.

1251
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 2: The Harball did not go along with this agreement. He

1252
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 2: disputed the allegations. He very much disputed the allegations that

1253
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:55,520
Speaker 2: he failed to cooperate with investigators. So his case, Harbaugh's

1254
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 2: case was handled separately. There was a quote from me

1255
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 2: I said quote. The panel noted that Harball's intentional disregard

1256
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 2: for NCAA legislation and unethical conduct amplified the severity of

1257
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 2: the case and prompted the panel to classify Harbaugh's case

1258
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 2: as Level one aggravated with penalties to include a four

1259
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: year show cause. There's some truth there because Harball refused

1260
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: to turn over his cell phone. Now, this recruiting case

1261
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 2: is separate from the NCAA's investigation into the in person

1262
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:35,480
Speaker 2: scouting and science stealing allegations that really sort of overshadowed

1263
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 2: Michigan season, especially as you got into November and Harball

1264
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 2: had a three game suspension that was handed down by

1265
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 2: the Big Ten Conference. So people should not conflate the two.

1266
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 2: You had the cheeseburger deal during COVID and then you

1267
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 2: had the science stealing with Connor stallions. Again, a show

1268
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 2: cause penalty means that if a school wants to hire

1269
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 2: a coach that is serving that penalty, which are Ball is, well,

1270
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 2: they're going to have to appear before the NCAA Committee

1271
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 2: on Infractions to explain why he wants to do so.

1272
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 2: The nca their order for Harball started Wednesday and it

1273
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 2: runs through market calendars August sixth, twenty twenty eight. It

1274
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 2: again will require a school that would want to hire

1275
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh to suspend him for the first full season.

1276
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: I'm shaking my head. I'm scratching my head. Okay. Then

1277
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: after that, by the way, just so you understand what

1278
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: this means, Harbaugh would still be barred from athletics related

1279
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 2: activities including team travel, practice, video study, recruiting, and team

1280
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: meetings until the order expires. Hello, he's the head coach

1281
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 2: of the Chargers. What makes anybody think he's going back

1282
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 2: to college in the next four years? If ever, Hardball

1283
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 2: spocal reporters and talked about you know, I was raised

1284
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 2: not to lie and steal and all that. I'm going

1285
01:10:58,880 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 2: to tell you what I'm going to get to that

1286
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 2: just a second. And I also want to share with

1287
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 2: you what Harball's attorney, Tom Marhers said, because this has

1288
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 2: gone from the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous, and

1289
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: it's worth knowing about because you have to wonder now

1290
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna be sticking enough for Harbaugh, but

1291
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 2: as the NCAA being a little petty. By the way,

1292
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: shortly after the show tonight, our podcast will be going up.

1293
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: If you missed any of tonight's show, be sure to

Speaker 2: after we get off the air. Coming up, we continue.

1299
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 2: I want you to know what's really going on here

1300
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 2: because they talk about it, but people don't really understand it,

1301
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,679
Speaker 2: nor should they need to worry about it. They have lives,

1302
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 2: but you're gonna hear about it. So I want to

1303
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 2: share with you what's going on. And I want to

1304
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: share with you what Michigan's athletic director said about this,

1305
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 2: and Harball's attorney, Tom Maher was set up. Tom I

1306
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 2: said about this, it's worth Knowing bym Bernie Frida Wor

1307
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 2: Company Line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirat

Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're back on

1310
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Coming to lie

1311
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 2: from the tarret dot com studios here in Las Vegas.

1312
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 2: Come on top of the hour. Well, last week I

1313
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 2: previewed the NFC East, I have Philadelphia winning it and

1314
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 2: the NFC North I have a coin flip between Detroit

1315
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 2: and Green Bay. Tonight at one am Pacific, four am Eastern,

1316
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 2: I will preview the NFC South and the NFC West.

1317
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Back to Jim Harball, who was given the show cause

1318
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 2: penalty this week. Michigan immediately responded by saying, he's our

1319
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 2: honorary captain for our first home game against Fresno State.

1320
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 2: Harball's attorney, he said apparently he said the coach he's

1321
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 2: referring to. Harball was not invited to participate in the

1322
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 2: settlement process, nor was Jim Harborough, even where agreement had

1323
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 2: been reached between the school and the NCAA, and Harbas's

1324
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 2: attorney went on to blast the NCAA's punishment. Here's exactly

1325
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 2: what he said. Quote the way I see it from

1326
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 2: Coach Harbaugh's perspective, Today's committee on a Fraction's decision. Well,

1327
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 2: that's like being in college and getting a letter from

1328
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: your high school saying you've been suspended because you didn't

1329
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 2: sign your yearbook. If I were in Coach Harbaugh's shoes

1330
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 2: and I had an eight million dollar contract as the

1331
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 2: head coach of the Chargers, I wouldn't pay any attention

1332
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 2: to the findings of a kangaroo court which claims to

1333
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 2: represent the principles of the nation's most flagrant repeat violator

1334
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 2: of federal anti trust laws. A lot of meat on

1335
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 2: the bone there and some legal lees. He went deep

1336
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 2: into the cookie jar on that. But he's not necessarily wrong.

1337
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 2: He's not wrong. Again, it just makes no sense to me.

1338
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 2: It's not like Harbaugh's you know, cal State Fullerton is

1339
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 2: going to bring back football and they're looking for a

1340
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 2: new football coach. What are we doing here? I mean,

1341
01:13:56,080 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 2: it's like it's really petty petty, and even Michigan's athletic

1342
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 2: director Ward Manual and him and Harbaugh didn't always see

1343
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 2: eye to eye, but he made the point to say, look,

1344
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 2: Michigan's already accepted the sanctions and they've served many of

1345
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 2: the penalties, and he, you know, Wandal says, we're working

1346
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 2: on improving some processes and we're focused on the future,

1347
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 2: and we do have a commitment to integrity and compliance

1348
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: on a go forward basis. The sign stealing case is

1349
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 2: still open, and like I said, that's gonna take months

1350
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 2: to resolve. That's why I don't think you're gonna see

1351
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 2: anything here. Happened to Shiran Moore during the season, not

1352
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 2: that it can't change. I don't think it's going to

1353
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 2: be adjudicated till the spring. And when you consider multiple

1354
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 2: infraction cases in such a short time period, you could

1355
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 2: you might since the NCAA and their ire has already

1356
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 2: been raised, they could treat Michigan as a repeat offender.

1357
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,600
Speaker 2: They could open the school up to harsherd penalties. But

1358
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm convinced, based on people I talked to, that there

1359
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 2: will be nothing retroactive. They're not going to vacate any wins, championships,

1360
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 2: Big ten, national whatever, And you know, the Committee on

1361
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 2: Infractions will have to interpret what happened here with Cheron

1362
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 2: Moore allegedly he erased some text messages. I'm not sure.

1363
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, there was an attorney out of

1364
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Birmingham named Jay z l and he has handled a

1365
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: lot of NCAA cases. So it's gonna come down to interpretation.

1366
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 2: And as I said, the Michigan's new coach, Cherroan Moore,

1367
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 2: he's actually facing allegations now he violated NCAA rules that

1368
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 2: was related to the investigation. And this is back to

1369
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 2: this scouting and sign stealing thing. And as Connor stallionsing's

1370
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 2: gonna hit, it's gonna drop on Netflix here I think

1371
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,759
Speaker 2: in about eighteen days. Again, Charon Moore has been accused

1372
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: of deleting text messages and apparently, again I don't know,

1373
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm just based on what I've been told. Those text

1374
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 2: messages they were with Connor Stallions. So Connor Stallions, as

1375
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 2: you may recall his name, came to prominence right before Thanksgiving.

1376
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 2: He was sort of this low level recruiting staffer who coordinated,

1377
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,919
Speaker 2: you know, this kind of elaborate off campus advanced scouting operation.

1378
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 2: This is around the time the investigation was open. And

1379
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 2: according to the you know what the NCAA has published

1380
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 2: in their draft, they recommended a less serious level two

1381
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 2: violation for Sheereon Moore and said that the messages between

1382
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 2: More and Stallions were recovered and that the coach actually

1383
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 2: provided into the NCAA. Now. Sheereon Moore, as you recall,

1384
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 2: was the offensive coordinator for Michigan last year and he

1385
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 2: was promoted to head coach after he took over as

1386
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 2: the interim head coach during the three games that Harbaugh

1387
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 2: was suspended against. I believe Ohio State, Penn State, and

1388
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 2: maybe Maryland one them all. And so Harball makes his

1389
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,480
Speaker 2: return to the NFL. Sure On Moore was the natural

1390
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 2: successor because again he filled in as the acting head coach,

1391
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 2: and he got the job done, won all four games,

1392
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 2: including the season final against Ohio State. And look, this

1393
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,759
Speaker 2: has been the source of great teeth gnashing among people.

1394
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 2: NCAA says that in person scouting is banned, and it

1395
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 2: didn't used to be, but I think they changed it

1396
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety four, but that led to Thursday's diet trap,

1397
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 2: and Harball says, I do not apologize quote I did

1398
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 2: not participate. I was not aware nor complicit in those

1399
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,759
Speaker 2: set allegations. The UNCA noted Harball could not recall meeting

1400
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 2: with recruits, despite confirmation from at least one of his

1401
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 2: own staff members blah blah blah had a Hamburger for breakfast.

1402
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Things stood out, and there was apparently a lot of

1403
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 2: credible information according to the NCA that Harball's denials are

1404
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 2: not credible. And my midnight hour segment I do under

1405
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 2: Bernie Fat Show Friday night at midnight, this was a

1406
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 2: topic and I asked the callers, do you believe Jim

1407
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Harbaugh truly knew nothing about the Connors Stallions situation and

1408
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 2: the in person scotting and this sign stealing scandal and

1409
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 2: all the above, and about seventy percent of the collar

1410
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 2: She said, no, oh, come on, I'm not blind. I

1411
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 2: mean Harball, we like Carball. We did good things at Michigan,

1412
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 2: YadA yah. But he's such a task master and he's

1413
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 2: in control, and he's a bull sham Beckler disciple. For

1414
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 2: him not to do anything now he made you know,

1415
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 2: there may be some plausible milk deniability in terms of

1416
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 2: his actual hands on involvement, but to not know anything

1417
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,600
Speaker 2: that was a hard one for people to swallow. So

1418
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 2: I think seventy percent of the people didn't necessarily believe.

1419
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 2: So there you have it. You know you'll hear about

1420
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 2: the Harball thing. It's just going to come up, because

1421
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 2: that's what happens in these stories when your high profile

1422
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 2: like Jim Harbaugh and Michigan are the defending champions. All right,

1423
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: let's dive back into the NFL. Do a little preview

1424

Speaker 2: in the NFC. Keep it locked. It's Bernie Fraddles Show

Speaker 2: Tyrack dot com the way tied buying should be well.

1434
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: Last Saturday, I previewed the NFC East. I like Philly

1435
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: to win it. I gave all the reasons why, and

1436
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 2: I think Dallas is gonna fall off. I've got him

1437
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 2: going eight and nine. Meanwhile, the NFC North, I believe

1438
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 2: Green Bays for real, and I believe Jordan loves for

1439
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 2: real and I love that defense with seven first rounders

1440
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 2: that really run it into shape last year. But Detroit's

1441
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: I believe in them as well, So I think it's

1442
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 2: a coin flip between those two. We will see tonight.

1443
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the NFC South because the Atlanta Falcons

1444
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 2: have come under a lot of scrutiny because they go

1445
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 2: out and they hire or check that they go out

1446
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 2: and they sign Kirk Cousins, who's coming off of major injury,

1447
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 2: to a four hundred check that four year, one hundred

1448
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 2: eighty million dollar deal, and it's guaranteed, and and there's

1449
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 2: no there's no real expectation. You don't know how much

1450
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 2: he's going to significantly upgrade the position of quarterback to

1451
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 2: the degree that it was with Matt Ryan when it

1452
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 2: went into decline back in twenty twenty one. That was

1453
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan's final year. And the Falcons have had sort

1454
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 2: of a odd approach to building their roster because then

1455
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 2: you know, after signing Panics, they go out and they

1456
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 2: they draft Michael Pennix Junior. You can't play them both

1457
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 2: at the same time. Now, Michael Penis Junior is probably

1458
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 2: the future. He's got mobility, he flashes, he's got arm strength.

1459
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 2: He's more talented basically on paper than Kirk Cousins, but

1460
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is a veteran. Here's the thing, and I'm

1461
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 2: actually picking the Falcons to win the NFC South. First

1462
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 2: of all, the South is a stinky division. I think

1463
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 2: they only gonna be nine and eight will win this division.

1464
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 2: I truly believe that. And the Falcons, if you look

1465
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 2: at their roster, they have plenty of talent on paper.

1466
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 2: And I like Raheem Morse. This is his second goal

1467
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 2: around Atlanta. He was the interim coach three years ago

1468
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 2: and then they didn't give him the job, but they

1469
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: played hard under him. And and you know, the conventional

1470
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 2: wisdom with people thought the Falcons were gonna hire Bill Belichick.

1471
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 2: Well obviously they didn't do that. So you could say

1472
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 2: that Raheem Morris got the job over Belichick. He wouldn't

1473
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 2: necessarily be wrong. But listen, there are two things that

1474
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 2: the Falcons really have going for them. There is a

1475
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 2: real kindred spirit between Raheem Morris and his players. He's

1476
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 2: constantly praised by his players, not just in Atlanta, but

1477
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 2: players elsewhere around the league where Raheem Morris has worked

1478
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 2: and I know this is always sort of an oxymoron

1479
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. There are no week sisters

1480
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, But when you crunch the numbers,

1481
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 2: the Falcons do have the benefit of having the NFL's

1482
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 2: weakest schedule this year, and between Week three and Week nine,

1483
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 2: the Falcons will play five home games and face all

1484
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 2: of its divisional foals. So if they put together a

1485
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 2: stretch there, that could put them in the catbird seed.

1486
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 2: The Falcons last one the NFC side in twenty sixteen,

1487
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 2: and you remember what happened then they got to the

1488
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. They led Tom Brady and the Patriots twenty

1489
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 2: eight to three at halftime, and you know what happened then.

1490
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 2: I like the Falcons to win this division. I like

1491
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 2: to coach, I like the roster competition, I like their talent.

1492
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 2: They do have a relatively weak schedule, and look, it

1493
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be New Orleans since Drew Brees retired. They're

1494
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty six. They're an under five hundred team,

1495
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 2: and they'll be under five hundred this year. Best. I

1496
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 2: think you can see them going. He's eight and nine.

1497
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 2: There's no reason to expect New Orleans can do much

1498
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 2: more of that. They've churned players in and out. They've

1499
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 2: moved quarterbacks in and out. Derek carr is exactly what

1500
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 2: I thought he would be. Everything I wouldn't, you know,

1501
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 2: everything he wasn't in less right, everything I expected he

1502
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't be in less. I screwed that up. But you

1503
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 2: know what I tried to mean. Okay, they got a

1504
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 2: new OC. The roster isn't really no different than last year.

1505
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 2: They lose the right tackle for the season due to

1506
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:07,440
Speaker 2: chronic knee issues. They have a new offensive quarter coordinator

1507
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 2: in Clinton Kubiak. I don't know what he's gonna do

1508
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 2: to create much of an attack here. I'm not big

1509
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 2: on Dennis Allen, their head coach. And look, you know

1510
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 2: what Derek carriis. He was sixty three and seventy nine

1511
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,679
Speaker 2: as he started with the Raiders. He's a good human being,

1512
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 2: not a good quarterback. And now we're hearing that Alvin Kamara,

1513
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 2: probably maybe the best player on the team, is disgruntled.

1514
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 2: He's got contract issues of his own. It's under the radar.

1515
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 2: You don't hear about him because you're too busy hearing

1516
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:38,720
Speaker 2: about McCarthy and Dak and everybody else. But without a

1517
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 2: healthy productive Camara, the Saints don't have a prayer. Oh well,

1518
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 2: see what I did there. I didn't even realize I

1519
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: did that Saints prayer? Did you like that one? Mark

1520
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 2: Saints per nevermind? I think the Saints are going eight

1521
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 2: to nine. Falcons are going nine to eight. That leads

1522
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 2: us to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now you may not

1523
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 2: realize this, yes, but I think you have a You

1524
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 2: have to give a tip of the cap to the

1525
01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers because they've been in the postseason every

1526
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 2: year since twenty nineteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty two,

1527
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 2: and twenty three. Now parlos with Brady, but give it

1528
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 2: up to Baker Mayfield. Give it up to Baker Bayfield,

1529
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 2: and I think you can be realistic that they're not great,

1530
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: They're not bad. Here is the caveat. Yes, yes, they've

1531
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 2: won the division a couple times, but they were like

1532
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 2: under five hundred winning the division. So they're only eighteen

1533
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 2: and nineteen over the past two seasons. It's still made

1534
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 2: the playoffs both years, and again they've benefited by being

1535
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 2: in the NFC South. However, the Bucks spent about, you know,

1536
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 2: millions of dollars almost one hundred million dollars this spring,

1537
01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 2: most of that going to Baker Mayfield. But staying, continuing

1538
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,759
Speaker 2: to win in this division isn't gonna be as easy.

1539
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: They have sort of the opposite of the Falcons. In

1540
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 2: between Week two and ten, Tampa Bay. They will have

1541
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: three divisional games and four more against all the teams

1542
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:20,799
Speaker 2: that reached last season's conference championship round. That's tough duty,

1543
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 2: think about it. We're talking about, you know, Kansas City

1544
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,560
Speaker 2: and Baltimore and the forty nine ers and the line

1545
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 2: tough duty. I think Tampa Bay will be competitive. I

1546
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 2: think they'll be better than the Saints, but I see

1547
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 2: them going eight to nine as well. So I got

1548
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 2: the Falcons going nine to eight. I got the Saints

1549
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 2: going eight and nine. I got the maybe the Saints

1550
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 2: have goes seven and ten. I don't know, Bucks going

1551
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 2: eight and nine, which leaves the Carolina Panthers. Now. I

1552
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: think the Carolina Panthers may have a good future. I

1553
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 2: love their new coach, Dave Knalis. He is, in fact

1554
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 2: the quarterback Whisperer. If you don't believe me, he was

1555
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 2: in Russell Wilson's are all those years in Seattle when

1556
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson had the most productive years he's had, he

1557
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 2: resurrected a Gino Smith and he also had a lot

1558
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 2: of positive vibes last year in Tampa Bay where he

1559
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 2: was presiding over Baker Mayfield. And now he gets Bryce Young,

1560
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 2: and I am of the belief Bryce Young is gonna

1561
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 2: make it in this league. He's off to a slow start.

1562
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 2: Everything went wrong in Carolina. Carolina won two games last year,

1563
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 2: so even if they win four games this year, they

1564
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 2: double the win total. So look, there are no goals

1565
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 2: in Carolina. Dave Canalis has to do what he does,

1566
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: which bring his positive vibes develop Bryce Young the same

1567
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 2: way he did with Gino Smith and Russell Wilson and

1568
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 2: got Baker Mayfield one hundred million dollars. And he's a

1569
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 2: good man, a good man, He's an LA guy, and

1570
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 2: he's the type of he's got to get a little

1571
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 2: Tony Dungee in him and that type of vibe. And

1572
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,679
Speaker 2: I you can only say good things about Tony Dungee.

1573
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 2: So that's where I see the NFC South, not a

1574
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,640
Speaker 2: world beater division, not an each should win it. And

1575
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 2: it's Atlanta's for the taking. Based on their roster, based

1576
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:17,560
Speaker 2: on their coach and based on a relatively weak schedule,

1577
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 2: again by NFL standards. By the math, they have the

1578
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 2: league's weakest schedule, and they have that five game home

1579
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 2: stretch between Week three and nine that could allow them

1580
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 2: to get out in front of the path. Coming up,

1581
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the NFC West, a decidedly

1582
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,600
Speaker 2: tougher division, but I think only two teams really have

1583
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 2: a chance of winning it will really only one team

1584
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 2: has a chance of winning it, but that doesn't mean

1585
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a slugfest. By the way,

1613
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool are you? Followed by what

1614
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 2: my name? So next week I'll start to preview the

1615
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 2: AFC the NFC South. I got the Atlanta Falcons winning

1616
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 2: it at nine and eight. After that put him in

1617
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 2: a blender, except for Carolina the NFC West. I realize

1618
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 2: what's happening with Brandon Ayuk is not pretty, but I

1619
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 2: am of the belief that when all is said and done,

1620
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 2: more will be said than done. And Brandon Ayuk, remember

1621
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 2: he's under contract, so he's legally bound to play for

1622
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 2: the Niners this year. The question is not this year.

1623
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 2: The question is the future. And the question of course is,

1624
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, do they pay him what he wants? See

1625
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 2: It's it's an interesting dilemma because the Niners want him

1626
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 2: and need him, they don't want to pay him what

1627
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 2: he wants. But I think they're gonna keep the least

1628
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 2: for this year and possibly well into the future. If

1629
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,600
Speaker 2: it was just about money, you could have gone to

1630
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 2: New England. And he also Kyle Boston trade to Cleveland.

1631
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 2: So I think the Niners, who've been knocking on the

1632
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 2: door for the super Bowl for quite a while now,

1633
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 2: and ben to a couple, it just can't get past

1634
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:26,719
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. I still think they win the NFC West.

1635
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 2: They're just too good. Brock Purdy, is that good. If

1636
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: you don't want to give me your flowers, that's on you,

1637
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 2: no problem. But this team is still poised. They got

1638
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: plenty of thoroughbreds to make another deep playoff run, maybe

1639
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 2: even win the Super Bowl again. This year. They had

1640
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 2: another near missed in Super Bowl fifty eight. And the

1641
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 2: Niners get out of the gate against schedule can matter

1642
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 2: their first six games. They only play one playoff team

1643
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 2: one playoff team. So let's say they start out five

1644
01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: and win whatever. I don't I don't want to do that.

1645
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 2: By the Niners are a thirteen win team, and I

1646
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 2: don't see anybody else in this division that can win

1647
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 2: thirteen games. Now, that doesn't mean the Rams aren't gonna

1648
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,559
Speaker 2: be good. I think the Rams are gonna be good,

1649
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,599
Speaker 2: but they're not gonna win thirteen games. Ten and seven,

1650
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 2: eleven and six. We'll see. For the second straight year.

1651
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 2: You gotta be honest. As great a job as Sean

1652
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 2: McVay does, they enter the season with major questions on defense.

1653
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 2: This time it's due to the retirement of Aaron Donald. Yes,

1654
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 2: that's huge, and that's also done forget. I would just

1655
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:32,240
Speaker 2: see in the praises of Raheem Morris in Atlanta, Well,

1656
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 2: who do you think the Rams defensive coordinator has been

1657
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 2: the last three years? Raheem Morris been the recordinator since

1658
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Now, the Rams did invest heavily on

1659
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball in the draft, and

1660
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 2: they did put some resources into the offensive line. And

1661
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 2: if Cooper cup can stay healthy and plays first full

1662
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 2: season since clear back in twenty twenty one, and he

1663
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 2: had showed up and showed out in the Super Bowl

1664
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 2: as well, and you combine him with Puka Nakua, you've

1665
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 2: got a tremendous receiver tandem. If Nakua can be anywhere

1666
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 2: near what he did as a rookie last year. He

1667
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 2: didn't even have to replicate that. The Rams also have

1668
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: an interesting schedule quirk, but this is a good one.

1669
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 2: In the month of October, the Rams are home for

1670
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: the entire month, or they're playing at Sofi Stadium the

1671
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 2: entire month. I think the Rams are a ten win team,

1672
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 2: but they're not a thirteen win team, so I cannot

1673
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 2: pick against the forty nine ers. That leaves the Arizona Cardinals.

1674
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 2: Have a hard time believing the Cardinals get to five hundred.

1675
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 2: They got a new coaching staff, and you know, well,

1676
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they had the new coaching staff

1677
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 2: last year. I should point that out, Kyler Murray missed

1678
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,759
Speaker 2: a bunch of time. They basically rebooted the whole roster.

1679
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 2: Last year. The didn't have a good record, but they

1680
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 2: were tough out every week. They're going to be the

1681
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 2: same way this year. The Arizona Cardinals are not a

1682
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,479
Speaker 2: bad team, but I see him as going seven to

1683
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:12,839
Speaker 2: ten ish, eight and nine ish. I think Kyler Murray

1684
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 2: should be physically recovered from the ACLA tore back in

1685
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. And if you look at the Cardinals drafts,

1686
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 2: they had seven players or they had seven picks in

1687
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 2: the first ninety overall selections and they did well. They

1688
01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 2: drafted very well, including Marvin Harrison. JUNI you're the prize

1689
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 2: wide receiver out of Ohio State. So I think this

1690
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:41,600
Speaker 2: is a team Arizona that is not a threat to

1691
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 2: win the division. They are not a playoff team. But

1692
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 2: if you get on the field with them, they're not

1693
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,080
Speaker 2: gonna lay down. They're going to be a tough out.

1694
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 2: They got a you know, they went through their big

1695
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,120
Speaker 2: metamorphosis last year. They're just not good enough. They're not

1696
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:56,640
Speaker 2: deep enough, they're not talented. Questions, can Kyler Murray be

1697
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 2: healthy and return to form after ACL and they're the

1698
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 2: opposite of the forty nine ers in their first six

1699
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:10,759
Speaker 2: weeks in the With regard to the Arizona Cardinals schedule,

1700
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 2: in their first six games, five of those teams are

1701
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 2: playoff teams. That's tough, all right. So I think if

1702
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 2: you're an Arizona Cardinals fan, what you look to do

1703
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 2: is compete this year, can continue to develop your roster

1704
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:29,599
Speaker 2: and look to have a springboard season in twenty twenty five.

1705
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 2: But again, I want to emphasize this. You'll see this

1706
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 2: throughout the year. Cardinals will play hard. I think they'll

1707
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 2: give teams a tussle. They're just not good enough to

1708
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:41,720
Speaker 2: They're just not good enough to be an over five

1709
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 2: hundred teams, certainly not good enough to win the division.

1710
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:45,600
Speaker 2: So got the Niners like thirteen and four, of the

1711
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 2: Rams probably ten and seven, eleven and six, maybe Cardinals

1712
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 2: seven and ten, maybe eight nine. That leaves the Seahawks.

1713
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:54,679
Speaker 2: What happened to the Seahawks, Well, they got new coaches,

1714
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 2: they got a brand new playbook, a brand new culture

1715
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 2: that doesn't really you know, look, that's tough, all right.

1716
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 2: They're now coached by Mike McDonald, thirty seven years old.

1717
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 2: The youngest head coach in the National Football League. And

1718
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 2: this is a group that's been ineffective defensively and they

1719
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 2: haven't been able to run the ball. And that's a

1720
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 2: bad parlay. And if you don't run the ball and

1721
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 2: you can't stop the run, well, you know what's going

1722
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 2: to be different in twenty twenty four from what it

1723
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 2: was in twenty twenty three. This could be a long

1724
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:37,439
Speaker 2: season for Seattle. They might This might be a five

1725
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 2: to six win season. It's not going to be a

1726
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 2: playoff season.

1727
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 10: It's not.

1728
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 2: They're certainly not going to win the division. And again

1729
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: another odd scheduling quirk. In November and December, the second

1730
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 2: half of the season, they have three home games. That's it,

1731
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 2: three home games. So I like San Francisco to win

1732
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 2: the NFCU West, we'll call it thirteen and four. Of

1733
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 2: the Rams to finish second, we'll call it ten and seven,

1734
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,719
Speaker 2: maybe eleven and six. The Arizona Cardinals to be plucky

1735
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 2: and competitive and pesky. New coaching staff from last year,

1736
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:18,000
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray coming back off his ACL but again strong draft.

1737
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 2: Seven new players in the top ninety, including Marvis Nearson Junior,

1738
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 2: and then Seattle bringing up the rear, and just to recap,

1739
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 2: the NFC South got the Atlanta Falcons winning it. I

1740
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 2: think it's only going to take nine and eight to

1741
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 2: win that division. I like Raheem Morris. I like the roster.

1742
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 2: They have league's weakest schedule based on the math, and

1743
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 2: they have again starting Week three. There's next six games.

1744
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 2: They play five home games and face all their divisional

1745
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 2: folls at home. That's the kind of stretch that we

1746
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 2: could put you in the cat bird seat heading into November. Saints, eh,

1747
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 2: they're under five hundred since Drew Brees left and retired.

1748
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 2: There's no reason to believe they're going to be over

1749
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 2: five hundred this year. That there's not a lot to like.

1750
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 2: And I mentioned earlier that Alvin Kamara is disgruntled and

1751
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 2: he may be the best player on the team. He

1752
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 2: wants a contract situation. Tampa Bay, they've been to the

1753
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 2: postseason since every season since twenty nineteen, but they were

1754
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 2: eighteen and nineteen over the past two seasons. And look,

1755
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 2: they've benefited in playing in a week NFC South. But

1756
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 2: I think this is the year that Atlanta rises above.

1757
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 2: And of course Carolina new head coach. You get Dave

1758
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 2: Canalis who comes over from Tampa Bay. He is a

1759
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 2: quarterback whisperer, and he's got lots of positive vibes. And

1760
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 2: there's every reason to expect that they'll improve and that

1761
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 2: Bryce Young will improve. And that's maybe not saying a

1762
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 2: lot because they only won two games last year, So

1763
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,680
Speaker 2: aan do have a party if they double their win total. No,

1764
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 2: and again last week I started out with the NFC East.

1765
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 2: You heard me with Jason Hershorn. I like Philadelphia, although

1766
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 2: Jason brought up a great point. They got their third

1767
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 2: set of coordinators in three years. You got a new

1768
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore and a new defensive coredator

1769
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 2: in vict Fangio. Fangio is a legend. I think Philly

1770
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 2: wins the division. And I think you know they're not

1771
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 2: going to win thirteen fourteen games, but ten and seven

1772
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 2: is going to win that division. I I may pay

1773
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 2: Hell for this. I may be going to Hell on

1774
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 2: a scholarship for this. I think the Cowboys are going

1775
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 2: eight to nine this year. Maybe in future shows we'll

1776
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, their schedule, which you can make

1777
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 2: for very boring radio, but I think their schedule matters

1778
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 2: and they open up against Cleveland, and that is I

1779
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,919
Speaker 2: think they're a one point favorite or one point underdog.

1780
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:51,440
Speaker 2: That's going to be a very difficult, very very difficult opening,

1781
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 2: you know game, and it doesn't get any easier from there, right.

1782
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is, you know, we

1783
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 2: talk about teams every year that didn't make the playoffs

1784
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs the following year. Well, we don't

1785
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time talking about our teams who

1786
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 2: made the playoffs who aren't likely to make the playoffs

1787
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:20,000
Speaker 2: the following year. I think Dallas can fall into that category. Yeah,

1788
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 2: they have talent. No one can deny that. You get

1789
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 2: Cede Lamb in this situation with the contract, you got

1790
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 2: uncertain futures by Mike McCarthy, who's a lame duck Dak Prescott.

1791
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:32,559
Speaker 2: It kind of skews the perception of a team that

1792
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 2: won the NFC East last year. They haven't even played

1793
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 2: it down this year. But something doesn't feel right and

1794
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 2: there's no spending. The loss of their defensive coinator Dan Quinn,

1795
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 2: they lost a bunch of free agents to you know,

1796
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:46,559
Speaker 2: they were less heralded players, but that have to do

1797
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 2: with their death. I don't feel like Dallas This doesn't

1798
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 2: feel like a formula to win the division this year.

1799
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 2: I just feel there's turmoil and I think it's going

1800
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,240
Speaker 2: to catch up with them. Dallas might have missed the playoffs.

1801
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,160
Speaker 2: I think they're going eight to nine, all right, coming up.

1802
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, we've got robots in baseball in the future,

1803
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 2: maybe umpire robots. We have instant replay. We have something

1804
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 2: in tennis that works quite well. It's actually called the

1805
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 2: Cyclops system, and what it does is it tells you

1806
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 2: if a ball was in or out of bounds. And

1807
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 2: the NFL is kind of enamored with this technology and

1808
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:28,879
Speaker 2: they've partnered with new technology and the idea is to

1809
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 2: replace what is considered an archaic chain gang. You know

1810
01:41:33,040 --> 01:41:35,680
Speaker 2: what the chain gang is. They march out onto the

1811
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 2: field to let you know if it's the first down

1812
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 2: based on the spot of football. But now the NFL

1813
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,719
Speaker 2: wants to try this new technology. And he debuted Friday

1814
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 2: in the New York Giants Detroit Lions game of me

1815
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:47,920
Speaker 2: at my stadium. Let's just say this, he got off

1816
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:49,519
Speaker 2: to a rocky start. We're gonna chop it up, tell

1817
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 2: you what happened. I'm gonna bring in the crew. When

1818
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,680
Speaker 2: is enough enough or am I wrong? You got to

1819
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 2: get it right at any cost. First, let's go back

1820
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Wire, the chef the latest.

1821
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 10: We've got to handle the ball better. You've got to

1822
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 10: hold your football like you would hold your lover. Gently,

1823
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 10: get firmly. You want to be both nursing and cleaning

1824
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 10: up the same time. Oh yeah, ye, ski love to

1825
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 10: the footballing be not with the football shop spanky.

1826
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, children, Another BAFU performance, chef, nicely done.

1827
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 7: I figured that would be great advice to all the

1828
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 7: NFL and college football players who are currently in training

1829

Speaker 7: the season. College of course getting started in three weeks

1831
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 7: actually week zero, two weeks from now, believe it or not.

1832
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 7: And then we have, of course the NFL coming up

1833

Speaker 7: preseason at debuting this weekend and Caleb Williams getting his

1838
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 7: first game action in the NFL, and he looked pretty

1839
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 7: impressive doing so. Four to seven for ninety five yards

1840
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 7: that also included a couple of drops, one big one

1841

Speaker 7: Rockies eleven to eight. In the American League East, this

1881
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 7: has been a close race as well between the Yankees

1882
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 7: and Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore on top by game over New York.

1883
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,679
Speaker 7: That's after the Yankees split a doubleheader with the Rangers today.

1884
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:34,799
Speaker 7: As for the Orioles, they beat the Rays seven to five.

1885
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:37,679
Speaker 7: Battle of the Windy City goes to the Cubs on Saturday.

1886

Speaker 7: They beat the White Socks three to one. The Royals

1887
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:44,639
Speaker 7: over the Cardinals in an all Missouri affair, eight to three,

1888
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 7: Guardians over the Twins two to one. Brewers shut out,

1889
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 7: the Reds won nothing. Nationals hold off the Angles in

1890
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 7: extra innings five to four.

1891
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:56,759
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, all right, good hup, good good stuff, chef.

1892
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:00,040
Speaker 2: By the way, if you've watched tennis at all in

1893
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 2: the last four decades, you know that there's an electronic

1894
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 2: line judge that was developed by a computer inventor in

1895
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 2: Great Britain. It was called Cyclops, and it really does

1896
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 2: a great job. It basically to help determine whether it

1897
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 2: serves in or out, it does it quickly, and in

1898
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 2: the last decade or so, or maybe longer than that,

1899
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 2: it's been upgraded to a system called Hawkeye, which Steve

1900
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 2: Roders just pointed out on Twitter is right, and I

1901
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 2: know Cyclops is not using any Grand Slam events, but

1902
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 2: the concept is still there. Well, the NFL now wants

1903
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 2: to try that concept when it comes to deciding and

1904
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:44,240
Speaker 2: determining whether a team has gotten a first down if

1905
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 2: you gain the required yardage to get a first down,

1906
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 2: all right, and so instead of trotting out a chain gang,

1907
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 2: which some people think is archaic, and you let's you know,

1908
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 2: this is where the world is now. You've got robot

1909
01:46:57,320 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 2: empires calling balls and strikes in the minor league are

1910
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 2: going to probably go to that in a couple of years.

1911
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 2: And there's already technology in football and all those sports now, right,

1912
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 2: So it's being tried in the preseason. It started Friday

1913
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 2: night and it got off to a rocky start. The

1914
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,839
Speaker 2: Giants were playing the New York Giants playing the Lions.

1915
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 2: Nate Subfield was in a quarterback for the Lions. You

1916
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 2: threw a pass to Tom Kennedy, wide receiver. Third and five,

1917
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 2: second quarter, the ball was close to the first down line,

1918
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:31,680
Speaker 2: so they decided to use the Hawkeye technology determined if

1919
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 2: the Lions had actually reached the first down marker. Here's

1920
01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:37,960
Speaker 2: the kicker. It took almost four minutes until the ball

1921
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 2: was snapped for the next play. Phil Simms, the former quarterback,

1922
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 2: was asked if, hey, are we really going to use

1923
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 2: this technology if it takes that long. I get it, it

1924
01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 2: was brand new. It's just, you know, give it a chance.

1925
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 2: But there's a couple of things to keep in mind here. Okay,

1926
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 2: there's already plenty of delays during the game. This is

1927
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:00,120
Speaker 2: an entertainment medium. Is this going to add more delays?

1928
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 2: I know their product has gone on in the preseason. They're

1929
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 2: not going to roll it out for the regular season,

1930
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:07,679
Speaker 2: certainly not this year. And Friday Night told you why.

1931
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,280
Speaker 2: So it's new technology. They're going to be for flaws

1932
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 2: to work out. I realized that everybody wants correct and

1933
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 2: accurate measurements and the system can perhaps help with that.

1934
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 2: But this is assuming also the officials get the spot

1935
01:48:19,840 --> 01:48:23,599
Speaker 2: on the field correct, and that's another discussion for another day, right,

1936
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 2: But there's something else too. In addition to the delay

1937
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:29,720
Speaker 2: in the game, which nobody likes. There's always that kind

1938
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 2: of drama when you're watching the game and you got

1939
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,599
Speaker 2: a rooting interest and you drop the chain gang out

1940
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:37,800
Speaker 2: for potential game to satting measurement. You watch them stretch

1941
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 2: the chain. That's part of I think the drama waiting

1942
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:43,160
Speaker 2: for the players and officials and you signal whether the

1943
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:46,600
Speaker 2: first dollar is there. Sports are entertainment and this is

1944
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 2: kind of dramatic. It is sometimes technology. You might be

1945
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 2: have the best intentions, intentions and yes you want to

1946
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 2: get it right, but at what cost. I don't like it.

1947
01:48:57,439 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 2: I want to bring in the crew. Let's get their thoughts. Breed,

1948
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 2: Let's start with you. You would you rather just see the

1949
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,200
Speaker 2: old chain gang or how you feel about this Hawkeye

1950
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 2: technology took four minutes?

1951
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:11,679
Speaker 11: Yeah, I kind of think that it's gonna be either

1952
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 11: it's gonna take like, you know, how ten thousand hours?

1953
01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 12: Is that Malcolm Gladwell things excel?

1954
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, So maybe in like this Hawkeye technology, it'll be

1955
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 11: like ten thousand minutes and see if it's actually gonna

1956
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 11: work out.

1957
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:25,559
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1958
01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:28,120
Speaker 11: I agree with you. I think that there is like

1959
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 11: that drama in entertainment. But you can get drama and

1960
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:33,759
Speaker 11: other avenues like with a coin toss, you know, going

1961
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 11: into overtime, or a coach is challenge and those kinds

1962
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 11: of things. I think we're just to kind of see

1963
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 11: if something's gonna be a first down. I mean, if

1964
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 11: it's at the goal line and you know it's less

1965
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 11: than you know, a minute left like things like that,

1966
01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 11: that's kind of like that's intense, But yeah, I think

1967
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 11: it's gonna they'll give it another they'll give it a chance.

1968
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:55,680
Speaker 11: And this is like preseason, so this is the opportunity

1969
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 11: to kind of see if it's gonna work out. And

1970
01:49:57,560 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 11: I think they'll be smart and figure out if it's

1971
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,040
Speaker 11: gonna work out or not. And if it's going to

1972
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 11: take like four minutes every single time, then there's just

1973
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 11: no point. You're just you're kind of just, I don't

1974
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,360
Speaker 11: want to say, kind of like not ruining the product,

1975
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 11: not ruining the product, but just kind of you know,

1976
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 11: diluting it a little bit.

1977
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:15,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely will dilute it my opinion, And even

1978
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 2: if they reduced it in half, still takes a couple

1979
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 2: of minutes because apparently in order to make this happen,

1980
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 2: it requires this animated creation which the computer does, and

1981
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 2: it recreates the length and distance in the chain and

1982
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 2: the football based on the computer technology that's observing it

1983
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 2: and photoing it. So that's going to take time. And

1984
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:39,439
Speaker 2: when you add on top of that they already review

1985
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:43,960
Speaker 2: every scoring play, turnovers. Then there are coaches challenges. I

1986
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 2: hate it when they're standing around. I mean, Phil Simms

1987
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 2: really got so this is going to add to that,

1988
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 2: add to already multiple delays. Now to breeze point. And

1989
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 2: by the way, Malcolm Gladwell's written several good books Outliers

1990
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 2: to one thousand nine. Look, the key is maybe they

1991
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 2: can work out the gags, but even if they do,

1992
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't change my basic premise that it's going to

1993
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,040
Speaker 2: further delay the game at what cost? And what if

1994
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 2: the ref don't spot the ball right in the first place?

1995
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 2: Chef your thoughts.

1996
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 7: I'm in favor of using all the technology available to

1997
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 7: make the calls and what happens on the field as

1998
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 7: accurate as possible. It's got to be better than using

1999
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 7: an index card to determine if every that.

2000
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, which coach did that?

2001
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 2: I can't it was Mike Tomlin, I think was it?

2002
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:30,799
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin?

2003
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:32,759
Speaker 2: You got to be wrong. We talked about a Friday

2004
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 2: night at my midnight hour. Seventy percent of the fans

2005
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 2: want to keep it, the people that call it my show,

2006
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 2: because he said, look, we got to get this right. Okay,

2007
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,759
Speaker 2: if it takes a little longer, takes it the longer budget.

2008
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 2: We've got to get these things right, go ahead, Jeff.

2009
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, Accuracy to me is paramount. Now, I do agree

2010
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 7: that letting it drag on two, three, four minutes at

2011
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 7: a time, especially when you multiply it by how many

2012
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 7: reviews you have a game, you know, five to six

2013
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 7: seventy at least, so that really does I agree with

2014
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 7: Breon that it really does dilute the product and drag

2015
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:01,599
Speaker 7: things along. My opinion has always been that give it

2016
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 7: one minute if it's not conclusive, after then the call

2017
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 7: in the field stands. And I think that there should

2018
01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 7: be more time to develop this technology before we fully

2019
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 7: implement it. So I do like that they're kind of

2020
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 7: testing it out first in the preseason. The games don't matter,

2021
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 7: so they can kind of see exactly how it works

2022
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 7: and then refine it going forward. I do think there's

2023
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:21,839
Speaker 7: a place for it. I don't know if the technology

2024
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,320
Speaker 7: is quite there yet. And what really complicates things in

2025
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 7: football compared to a sport like say tennis, is it's

2026
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 7: about where the player hits the ground as well as

2027
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,240
Speaker 7: where the ball is. It's not just where the ball is,

2028
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 7: So there's a lot more involved in determining what the

2029
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:37,600
Speaker 7: right call is. And I'm not sure if the technology

2030
01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:39,640
Speaker 7: is there yet, but something's got to be better than

2031
01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 7: an index card. We're in the year twenty twenty four,

2032
01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:44,799
Speaker 7: so I imagine we got to have the technology somewhere

2033
01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 7: to make this better, to streamline the calls, to make

2034
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:49,679
Speaker 7: things more accurate, because with all the money that's involved,

2035
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 7: especially gambling money, and which calls are way more consequential,

2036
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 7: I think that they should be. Yeah, embracing technology as.

2037
01:52:57,520 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 2: Much as we can. We do have the technology, we

2038
01:52:59,479 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 2: do have the feet that your functionality. It comes down

2039
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 2: to execution. Mark, you're part of our discussion Friday night.

2040
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:06,080
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that final word?

2041
01:53:06,439 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 1: Is Mark Ramsey with us so well?

2042
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,680
Speaker 13: Like I said before, like some of the callers the

2043
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 13: other night, I guess the whole thing comes down to

2044
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 13: about time and being accurate. If the spot isn't good

2045
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:23,520
Speaker 13: in the first part, just the beginning of the spot.

2046
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 13: Whatever technology you have is gonna be flawed because just

2047
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:31,720
Speaker 13: bringing out the chains work for how many years? And

2048
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 13: now because of technology, somebody wants that. Somebody has a

2049
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,800
Speaker 13: new idea to use something else. I get it that

2050
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:42,960
Speaker 13: technology comes along and people want to get something new,

2051
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 13: but just leave it the same way, because if it's

2052
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 13: gonna take too much time, it's gonna be pointless to

2053
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 13: drag out the drag out the game because people are

2054
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 13: already having quick attention spans when it comes to sports,

2055
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 13: So why drag it out if they don't want to

2056
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:02,479
Speaker 13: be there in the first place?

2057
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 2: Well said, And look, the bottom line is, like Kevin said,

2058
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 2: there could be a scrumb of bodies around the ball,

2059
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:11,719
Speaker 2: so we might have clear visibility coming up fun with numbers.

2060
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:15,760
Speaker 2: I saw this regarding Russell Wilson and it slayed me.

2061
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, the New York Jets, you're

2062
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 2: gonna see him on TV a lot this year. Let's

2063
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 2: hope Aaron Rodgers is part of it. There's kind of

2064
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:24,920
Speaker 2: a damning statistic that might have me a little worried.

2065
01:54:25,120 --> 01:54:27,240

Speaker 2: I were back on the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio,

2073
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 2: coming to live from the Tiret dot com studios here

2074
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:53,280

2075
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 2: minutes the Dance Sensation sweep of the Nation. What kind

2076
01:54:56,640 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 2: of brand new fool you? Followed by what my I name?

2077
01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:05,240
Speaker 2: You know? Only nine quarterbacks started all seventeen games last season.

2078
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers obviously was not one of them. Nonetheless, turn

2079
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 2: on your TV at any point this season, there's a

2080
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 2: good chance you're gonna see the Jets on TV. Why

2081
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:22,400
Speaker 2: and clearly this is because of Aaron Rodgers. The Jets

2082
01:55:22,400 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 2: have been awarded six primetime games this season, all over

2083
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 2: the first eleven weeks. That's the first time in NFL

2084
01:55:31,440 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 2: history that a team has been given that many night

2085
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 2: games in the first eleven weeks. By the way, the

2086
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:39,600
Speaker 2: Jets also have a Week five game in London, which

2087
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: means to beginning, seven standalone games in the first eleven

2088
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 2: weeks and then before Thanksgiving. Pretty amazing when you consider

2089
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 2: this is a team that hasn't had a winning season

2090
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 2: since Uptown Funk was the number one song of the

2091
01:55:56,280 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 2: year on Billboard Hot one hundred. Yeah, that's what we

2092
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 2: do here on the Bernie Fridle Show. I hate when

2093
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 2: I go third person like that. But look, hopefully rogers

2094
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 2: better days are ahead and he stays healthy. Okay, And

2095
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:15,560
Speaker 2: there's also some other concern too, because it's not just

2096
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 2: what happened last year. Let's go back to twenty twenty two,

2097
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not bashing Rogers, but facts as facts. Back

2098
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, Aaron Rodgers failed to throw for

2099
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:28,560
Speaker 2: three hundred yards in any game the entire season. He

2100
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 2: also had twelve interceptions in that same season. That was

2101
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 2: the most in his first year. Or check that that

2102
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 2: was the most since his first year as a rookie

2103
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 2: back in twenty oh eight. Here's what's also remarkable about this.

2104
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 2: Three teams got six primetime games, the Niners, Cowboys, and Jets,

2105
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 2: but the Niners won fourteen last year, the Cowboys won twelve,

2106
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 2: the Jets only won seven. Still, I'm here for it.

2107
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 2: I hope Rodgers stays healthy all year. But again, only

2108
01:56:54,760 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 2: nine quarterbacks started all seventeen games last season. Yo, if

2109
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 2: we can make a deal, Rogers starts fifteen. Take it.

2110
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:05,920
Speaker 2: You can do that. If you do that, I think

2111
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 2: jeff might be a playoff team, especially with that defense.

2112
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, and I'm tired of hearing about the

2113
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 2: Justin Fields Russell Wilson competition in Pittsburgh. They're not gonna

2114
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 2: start Justin Field's week one. They're gonna start Russell Wilson.

2115
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't care whether you like him or hate him.

2116
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 2: He threw twenty six touchdown passes, he had interceptions. It

2117
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 2: wasn't a fit with Sean Peyton. I know we were

2118
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 2: out as welcome in Seattle. I think he's got a

2119
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 2: little bit gash left in the tank. Here's why I

2120
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,520
Speaker 2: bring up Russell Wilson's name. I saw this and it

2121
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 2: slayed me. Okay, as you know, Russell Wilson plays for Pittsburgh. Now,

2122
01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson played for Denver last year. And Russell Wilson,

2123
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Pittsburgh signed for a back of

2124
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 2: football's basically, here's how much they did sign it for

2125
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:58,680

Speaker 2: team from last year. Why, it'll be the first time

2128
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:08,160
Speaker 2: in history a quarterback or any player for that matter,

2129
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 2: will be playing against a former team. Will that former

2130
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 2: team is paying eighty seven percent of his salary? You

2131
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,280

2150
01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 2: that's what we do. Because around this great land of ours,

2151
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,560
Speaker 2: from seed to Oily Sea, and even around the planet. Well,

2152
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:24,520
Speaker 2: let's face it, people do things. They engage in behaviors

2153
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 2: that are weird, nod and questionable, and sometimes they are innocuous,

2154
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 2: but other times they're more serious. Many times they can

2155
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 2: run a follow the law and even land you in jail.

2156
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 2: But any way you slice it, any way you describe it,

2157
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:39,440
Speaker 2: any way you characterize it, all these behaviors they always

2158
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:44,280
Speaker 2: leaving us scratching our head and asking ourselves, what kind

2159
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 2: of brand new fool are you?

2160
01:59:51,560 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 6: So?

2161
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:54,040
Speaker 4: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2162
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:56,720
Speaker 2: All right? So this happens once in a blue moon,

2163
01:59:56,960 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 2: I have what I would call an encore segment. I

2164
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,600
Speaker 2: actually had someone requests this. A couple of people. We

2165
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 2: did this probably what six months ago. You may have

2166
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:09,560
Speaker 2: heard it, but it's worth here and again because this

2167
02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:15,160
Speaker 2: one is whack. We take you to Baxter County, Arkansas.

2168
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:19,920
Speaker 2: We introduce you to an affable gentleman by the name

2169
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 2: of Theodore Morgavin. Well see, around twelve forty five am

2170
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:30,800
Speaker 2: in Baxter County, Arkansas, a deputy noticed a car parked

2171
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 2: near a commercial storage facility. But the deputy knew something

2172
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:39,960
Speaker 2: didn't look right, and as he approached the car, he

2173
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:44,360
Speaker 2: saw the car was rocking back and forth. He looked

2174
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 2: inside and mister Morgavan was in the car in the

2175
02:00:50,440 --> 02:00:59,440
Speaker 2: prone position wait for it, getting busy with a stuffed animal. Wow. Well,

2176
02:00:59,480 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 2: the deputy decided to arrest mister Morgarvan and searches carm

2177
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,560
Speaker 2: And then it gets even weirder, all right, they found

2178
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:12,960
Speaker 2: a purse that had drug paraphernalia in it, and well,

2179
02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:21,840
Speaker 2: it had three grams of myth. Not only that, there

2180
02:01:21,880 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 2: were other items in there. And mister Morgavan was eventually

2181
02:01:26,440 --> 02:01:28,919
Speaker 2: charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance,

2182
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 2: public sexual indecency, possession of drug paraphernalia, and bringing drug

2183
02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 2: paraphernalia into a governed government facility. Then he went to

2184
02:01:40,120 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 2: jail and investigators found another purse with three more grams

2185
02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 2: of myth. I don't know, man, I don't know. These

2186
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:51,960
Speaker 2: things get weirder by the day. This one was an

2187
02:01:52,040 --> 02:01:55,960
Speaker 2: encore the good folks in Baxter County, Arkansas. We ask you,

2188
02:01:56,080 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 2: mister morgavan, what kind of brand new foller you?

2189
02:02:02,360 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 1: All right?

2190
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:05,800
Speaker 2: Brief? You are an up and coming star at this game.

2191
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 2: What have you got for us tonight?

2192
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 12: Alrighty?

2193
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:12,160
Speaker 11: So this takes place in Colorado Springs, and they actually

2194
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:14,400
Speaker 11: didn't give a name for the man, so I don't

2195
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 11: know if that's even like a kind.

2196
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:19,720
Speaker 12: Of a heads up of this is a little odd.

2197
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:23,600
Speaker 11: I'm gonna call him John Doe just because I can't

2198
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:28,320
Speaker 11: even like think of a cool name. He doesn't deserve it, alrighty.

2199
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:33,000
Speaker 11: So this guy was, you know, searching online and I

2200
02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:35,760
Speaker 11: guess needed a vehicle. So he saw there was an

2201
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:40,560
Speaker 11: SUV listed on Craigslist. So when he sent the message,

2202
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:45,600
Speaker 11: he offered to trade illegal homegrown you know, homegrown in

2203
02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:50,280
Speaker 11: the basement or the you know, the what's that where

2204
02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 11: the cars go the garage?

2205
02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:53,760
Speaker 12: Homegrown marijuana?

2206
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:58,480
Speaker 11: Oh no, And so that was his like offer, like,

2207
02:02:58,520 --> 02:03:00,760
Speaker 11: I'm not gonna give you fifteen hundred dollars. I'm not

2208
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:02,480
Speaker 11: going to give you three thousand dollars. I'm going to

2209
02:03:02,640 --> 02:03:08,440
Speaker 11: offer homegrown marijuana. That vehicle actually happened to be owned

2210
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:13,600
Speaker 11: by a sheriff. Stol Teller County Sheriff Jason Mike sell

2211
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:17,280
Speaker 11: was the one that received the text from thirty the

2212
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 11: thirty nine year old John Doe offering you know, X

2213
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:24,400
Speaker 11: amount of four pounds of homegrown marijuana.

2214
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:28,440
Speaker 12: And so the man sent actual.

2215
02:03:28,120 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 11: Photos of the product, and so Jason Mike Assel went

2216
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:33,760
Speaker 11: along with it and was like, okay, then come over

2217
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,640
Speaker 11: and we'll schedule this meetup and you can come look

2218
02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 11: at the suv. Mike Cell called his buddies at the

2219
02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:46,720
Speaker 11: police station, and sure enough, when John Doe arrived for

2220
02:03:46,760 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 11: the swap, he was immediately arrested. Authorities say they found

2221
02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:56,560
Speaker 11: about four pounds of illegal homegrown marijuana in the car,

2222
02:03:58,240 --> 02:04:01,760
Speaker 11: and he also had a lady friend with him, so

2223
02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:04,040
Speaker 11: I don't know if she maybe she was like the

2224
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:04,400
Speaker 11: one that.

2225
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:07,880
Speaker 12: Was an accomplice, but she.

2226
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:11,680
Speaker 11: Was also arrested. They were charged with possession with intent

2227
02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:15,280
Speaker 11: to sell. So and then Jason Migassella said that he

2228
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:19,320
Speaker 11: will he will not relist the suv on Craigslist, especially

2229
02:04:19,360 --> 02:04:22,280
Speaker 11: if he doesn't know what other kind of offers he's

2230
02:04:22,320 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 11: going to get for the specific type of SUV. So,

2231
02:04:25,720 --> 02:04:28,880
Speaker 11: John Doe in Colorado Springs, what kind of brand new

2232
02:04:28,880 --> 02:04:29,480
Speaker 11: pool are you?

2233
02:04:30,880 --> 02:04:33,080
Speaker 2: Outstanding effort? That was a good one. That was a

2234
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 2: good one. Perhaps we in this particular case, asked John Doe,

2235
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:39,040
Speaker 2: what kind of dope are you?

2236
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:40,320

02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:49,360

02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:02,360
Speaker 2: you're up next.

2245
02:05:02,360 --> 02:05:03,840
Speaker 7: Now, how can you turn down a deal like that?

2246
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 7: Brings a whole new meaning to the word rocky mountain highs?

2247
02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Oh nicely, Now you're showing off. Now you're just showing off.

2248
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 1: All right, We go to I guess.

2249
02:05:14,560 --> 02:05:18,160
Speaker 2: You would call that a Kevin Wyer joint. Oh oh,

2250
02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:19,760
Speaker 2: keep him coming, all righteous stuff.

2251
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 7: We're here all night, We're here all night. We go

2252
02:05:25,440 --> 02:05:29,600
Speaker 7: to Pittsburgh, the Steel City. Now we've heard many stories

2253
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 7: of guys trying to break out of jail. Well, this

2254
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,720
Speaker 7: unidentified man is accused of trying to break into the

2255
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:41,400
Speaker 7: Alleghany County Jail Saturday morning. The Alleghany County Police Department

2256
02:05:41,480 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 7: saying in a news release that law enforcement notified of

2257
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:46,680
Speaker 7: an attempted break into the visitor's lobby of the jail

2258
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 7: around seven am this morning, and officers with the Pittsburgh

2259
02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:52,760
Speaker 7: Bureau of Police responded to the scene and detained a

2260
02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 7: man with minor injuries because detectives said that the man

2261
02:05:56,320 --> 02:05:59,440
Speaker 7: caused extensive damage to the door while trying to break in,

2262
02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:02,120
Speaker 7: so the door did not get it or did not

2263
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 7: break open, and he ended up hurting himself. So the

2264
02:06:04,400 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 7: man taken to a local hospital for treatment. Again not identified,

2265
02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 7: but the Allegheny County Police Detective's currently filing charges on

2266
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 7: him for burglary related charges and will be transporting him

2267
02:06:15,240 --> 02:06:19,120
Speaker 7: to the jail for arrangments. So one identified man in Pittsburgh,

2268
02:06:19,360 --> 02:06:20,560
Speaker 7: What kind of brand new fool are you.

2269
02:06:22,400 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 2: Trying to break into jail? Did he have a motive or.

2270
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:29,800
Speaker 7: It doesn't say and I cannot imagine what motive could be.

2271
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:31,720

2494
02:19:22,280 --> 02:19:26,120
Speaker 2: significant changes, you's gonna take some getting used to. You know,

2495
02:19:26,160 --> 02:19:29,640
Speaker 2: you had Michigan and Washington compete for a national title.

2496
02:19:30,240 --> 02:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Now both programs will have brand new head coaches. In

2497
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:37,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, think about all the schools that are

2498
02:19:37,360 --> 02:19:41,400
Speaker 2: in different conferences. The Texas Longhorns in Oklahoma, they're now

2499
02:19:41,440 --> 02:19:44,960
Speaker 2: in the SEC. They're no longer in the Big Twelve. Meanwhile,

2500
02:19:45,040 --> 02:19:49,000
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve alled Colorado and Deon Sanders. The Big

2501
02:19:49,040 --> 02:19:52,640
Speaker 2: Twelve also added Utah. So the last fourteen years, Utah

2502
02:19:52,680 --> 02:19:55,200
Speaker 2: has gone from the Mountain West to the Pac Twelve.

2503
02:19:55,720 --> 02:19:58,600
Speaker 2: To the Big twelve Arnie Spaniards, Arizona Wildcats also in

2506
02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:11,959
Speaker 2: Watchington Husky's USC Trojans, UCLA Bruins, thro Who are the

2507
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:15,560
Speaker 2: top five teams Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas and Bama

2508
02:20:16,200 --> 02:20:18,400

2509
02:20:18,680 --> 02:20:21,360

2510
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:23,840
Speaker 2: if they're that high. Seven Michigan, I don't know if

2511
02:20:23,879 --> 02:20:26,840
Speaker 2: they deserve to be eighth, Penn State ninth, Florida State tenth.

2512
02:20:26,959 --> 02:20:32,640
Speaker 2: Interesting all the way down. None of them really surprised

2513
02:20:32,680 --> 02:20:34,520
Speaker 2: me on this list. Maybe I don't know if USC

2514
02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:38,000
Speaker 2: deserves to be twenty third, but it's not gonna matter anyway.

2515
02:20:38,040 --> 02:20:39,880
Speaker 2: It will all be turned upside down by the time

2516
02:20:39,879 --> 02:20:43,480
Speaker 2: you get to December. Although Georgia looks awfully good, Georgia

2517
02:20:43,480 --> 02:20:45,480
Speaker 2: and o'hopse State look awfully good, but they're gonna have

Speaker 2: and Olympics are in the books, so that it doesn't

2579
02:23:48,600 --> 02:23:53,039
Speaker 2: mean there isn't news. They call it football overseas, but

2580
02:23:53,080 --> 02:23:54,920
Speaker 2: here in America, well we call it.

2581
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:05,640
Speaker 14: Chris Perfetts World of Soccer, the greatest goals, the thrilling finishes,

2582
02:24:07,360 --> 02:24:08,760
Speaker 14: the international drama.

2583
02:24:11,680 --> 02:24:13,000
Speaker 4: I am at the end of the level.

2584
02:24:14,040 --> 02:24:17,520
Speaker 3: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2585
02:24:18,120 --> 02:24:21,039
Speaker 15: What a long summer it has been, Bernie. For the

2586
02:24:21,080 --> 02:24:25,880
Speaker 15: world of soccer. International play is finally with this this

2587
02:24:25,959 --> 02:24:29,640
Speaker 15: weekend here at the Olympics coming down to a close.

2588
02:24:29,800 --> 02:24:33,080
Speaker 15: Spain under twenty three has won the gold for men's spending,

2589
02:24:33,120 --> 02:24:36,879
Speaker 15: their dominance here in this international year between here and

2590
02:24:36,920 --> 02:24:39,920
Speaker 15: the euro Championship, and if the next two years prove anything,

2591
02:24:40,120 --> 02:24:42,640
Speaker 15: then they will be prohibitive favorites going into the twenty

2592
02:24:42,680 --> 02:24:46,959
Speaker 15: twenty six World Cup, especially with Lamina mal some very

2593
02:24:47,040 --> 02:24:50,360
Speaker 15: young fine players and a young under twenty three squad

2594
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:53,800
Speaker 15: which will form backbone as they grow older and older.

2595
02:24:53,920 --> 02:24:56,320
Speaker 15: It also means that we are closing in finally to

2596
02:24:56,440 --> 02:24:58,720
Speaker 15: starting to deal a little bit more on the club

2597
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,440
Speaker 15: side of things. And I want to frame this by

2598
02:25:01,520 --> 02:25:04,320
Speaker 15: we had a bit of a conversation last week about

2599
02:25:04,640 --> 02:25:07,240
Speaker 15: FIFA and overcrowding the calendars, and I want to have

2600
02:25:07,280 --> 02:25:10,520
Speaker 15: another conversation this week. Coming from the words of Zlatan

2601
02:25:10,600 --> 02:25:15,280
Speaker 15: Ibrakimovich about MLS major leagues so the domestic league here

2602
02:25:15,280 --> 02:25:17,840
Speaker 15: in the United States. Yes, we haven't talked about MLS

2603
02:25:17,840 --> 02:25:20,440
Speaker 15: a ton because of we just haven't had time. In

2604
02:25:20,480 --> 02:25:24,440
Speaker 15: the world of soccer, certainly with euro Championship, Copa America

2605
02:25:24,520 --> 02:25:27,480
Speaker 15: and then even the Olympics, it's just been completely outshaded

2606
02:25:27,480 --> 02:25:29,879
Speaker 15: and that's kind of rough if you'r MLS. Even with

2607
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:33,959
Speaker 15: Leonel Messi, the league stelf finds self in frustrating terms

2608
02:25:33,959 --> 02:25:36,840
Speaker 15: of growth, finds self cast more in the foil against

2609
02:25:36,879 --> 02:25:41,680
Speaker 15: grassroots USL clubs around the country and quite honestly just

2610
02:25:42,600 --> 02:25:46,440
Speaker 15: demands still to see if they're gambit on this messy project,

2611
02:25:46,480 --> 02:25:49,720
Speaker 15: it will pay off to higher popularity. But Latin took

2612
02:25:49,720 --> 02:25:52,080
Speaker 15: a bit of a different attact when it came to

2613
02:25:52,120 --> 02:25:57,039
Speaker 15: talking about MLS now. Speaking with the ESPN program First Takes,

2614
02:25:57,120 --> 02:26:00,920
Speaker 15: Latin had said that when it comes to the game,

2615
02:26:00,959 --> 02:26:03,400
Speaker 15: he thinks that it's getting better. The quality of the game,

2616
02:26:03,440 --> 02:26:05,600
Speaker 15: the individuals is growing and getting better and better in

2617
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:08,000
Speaker 15: the country. He points to the twenty twenty six World

2618
02:26:08,040 --> 02:26:10,119
Speaker 15: Cup that is coming for the United States and will

2619
02:26:10,160 --> 02:26:13,360
Speaker 15: be very important to MLS, especially since this is a

2620
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:16,520
Speaker 15: league that can really trace its modern foundations back to

2621
02:26:17,040 --> 02:26:19,480
Speaker 15: the last time the United States hosted a World Cup

2622
02:26:19,480 --> 02:26:23,240
Speaker 15: in the nineties, but he says it also quote has

2623
02:26:23,440 --> 02:26:27,440
Speaker 15: too many rules to make it grow faster. Speaking about

2624
02:26:27,480 --> 02:26:30,120
Speaker 15: the league, and indeed, there are a lot of rules

2625
02:26:30,160 --> 02:26:33,600
Speaker 15: that seem to exhibit growth in Major League Soccer, and

2626
02:26:33,600 --> 02:26:37,000
Speaker 15: the biggest one comes in the term of salary cap.

2627
02:26:37,040 --> 02:26:39,440
Speaker 15: Bernie and I think that might be a shock to

2628
02:26:39,480 --> 02:26:42,439
Speaker 15: American sports fans. We're used to this outside of baseball,

2629
02:26:42,760 --> 02:26:45,000
Speaker 15: but we really need to talk about the salary cap

2630
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:48,160
Speaker 15: in frank terms. I think in the minds of fans

2631
02:26:48,160 --> 02:26:51,160
Speaker 15: out there in the United States, the salary cap exists

2632
02:26:51,160 --> 02:26:54,120
Speaker 15: to promote parody. It's to make sure that one side

2633
02:26:54,320 --> 02:26:56,680
Speaker 15: doesn't get bigger than the other. And that's taking off

2634
02:26:56,720 --> 02:26:58,640
Speaker 15: of the model that the NFL has been able to

2635
02:26:58,720 --> 02:27:01,600
Speaker 15: find too great success, where thirty two of its teams

2636
02:27:01,600 --> 02:27:04,440
Speaker 15: are all going to be usually in the same realm

2637
02:27:04,520 --> 02:27:09,000
Speaker 15: of relevancy in any given year. However, really what we're

2638
02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:11,560
Speaker 15: talking about here when we're talking about growth, especially for

2639
02:27:11,600 --> 02:27:14,920
Speaker 15: a growing league like Major League Soccer, is that the

2640
02:27:14,959 --> 02:27:18,040
Speaker 15: salary cap in a sport also serves a second, and

2641
02:27:18,240 --> 02:27:22,120
Speaker 15: I would argue more powerful purpose in that it keeps

2642
02:27:22,240 --> 02:27:26,920
Speaker 15: owners from outspending each other. Yes, it exists because nobody

2643
02:27:26,959 --> 02:27:31,040
Speaker 15: wants another George Steinbrenner making the rest of them look bad,

2644
02:27:31,080 --> 02:27:33,680
Speaker 15: because that is what a salary cap is is. It

2645
02:27:33,720 --> 02:27:38,160
Speaker 15: is a cartel limit on owners saying we don't want you,

2646
02:27:38,200 --> 02:27:40,000
Speaker 15: guys to spend more than X.

2647
02:27:40,320 --> 02:27:42,280
Speaker 4: Why do we not want you to spend more than X?

2648
02:27:42,520 --> 02:27:44,600
Speaker 15: It might just be for it might be for competition,

2649
02:27:44,800 --> 02:27:47,440
Speaker 15: but more than anything, it also makes sure that you

2650
02:27:47,480 --> 02:27:50,440
Speaker 15: can't then accuse other owners of not spending well, because

2651
02:27:50,480 --> 02:27:52,640
Speaker 15: that was always the knockback. You'd always hear about George

2652
02:27:52,680 --> 02:27:56,760
Speaker 15: Steinbrenner in baseball outspending the other owners and that was unfair,

2653
02:27:56,920 --> 02:27:59,440
Speaker 15: that wasn't fair to the small market guys, And always

2654
02:27:59,440 --> 02:28:02,200
Speaker 15: the retort I heard back then Bernie was well, then

2655
02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:05,080
Speaker 15: just go spend more money, spend money like him, and

2656
02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:07,000
Speaker 15: then there'd be a lot of cries a poorhouse, even

2657
02:28:07,000 --> 02:28:09,360
Speaker 15: though in the modern age of baseball there's no reason

2658
02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:11,560
Speaker 15: for any owner to try to cry at poorhouse. And

2659
02:28:11,680 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 15: something kind of like that exists in soccer that has

2660
02:28:15,360 --> 02:28:18,760
Speaker 15: never really known a salary cap. If you go over

2661
02:28:18,840 --> 02:28:22,600
Speaker 15: to Europe, the rich are big because they are rich

2662
02:28:22,760 --> 02:28:26,200
Speaker 15: and powerful, and the small guys they just struggle to

2663
02:28:26,240 --> 02:28:30,240
Speaker 15: stay afloat, and that might seem unfair to the untrained eye,

2664
02:28:30,280 --> 02:28:32,920
Speaker 15: but at the same time it also ferrets out people

2665
02:28:32,959 --> 02:28:36,320
Speaker 15: who come into the ecosystem and just won't spend to compete.

2666
02:28:36,400 --> 02:28:36,560
Speaker 9: Right.

2667
02:28:36,720 --> 02:28:38,879
Speaker 15: You always hear about guys who come in at like

2668
02:28:38,959 --> 02:28:42,080
Speaker 15: the second or third tier of English soccer, buy up

2669
02:28:42,120 --> 02:28:44,520
Speaker 15: a club and then start to cut costs. They don't

2670
02:28:44,560 --> 02:28:46,680
Speaker 15: want to spend too much on player role and the

2671
02:28:46,879 --> 02:28:50,119
Speaker 15: fan base usually ends up revolting. Why because they understand

2672
02:28:50,160 --> 02:28:52,960
Speaker 15: that to compete with everyone else, you have to spend money.

2673
02:28:53,120 --> 02:28:56,080
Speaker 15: You can't treat it like a trust fund. You can't

2674
02:28:56,080 --> 02:28:59,640
Speaker 15: treat your sports club as a retirement in a vehicle.

2675
02:29:00,160 --> 02:29:02,920
Speaker 15: You to passively make money. That's always been the problems

2676
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:06,720
Speaker 15: that Manchester United fans bring up the Glazer family. You're

2677
02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:09,440
Speaker 15: not there because it is an investment and you want

2678
02:29:09,480 --> 02:29:12,000
Speaker 15: to see a profit. You should be spending money to

2679
02:29:12,120 --> 02:29:16,199
Speaker 15: compete at every level. And ultimately that's when people, especially

2680
02:29:16,200 --> 02:29:18,720
Speaker 15: those abroad, start talking about the salary cap being a

2681
02:29:18,760 --> 02:29:21,720
Speaker 15: weird problem of MLS. It is right, that is what

2682
02:29:21,760 --> 02:29:25,039
Speaker 15: they're talking about, but more practically, it also limits you

2683
02:29:25,120 --> 02:29:26,840
Speaker 15: from being unable to.

2684
02:29:26,920 --> 02:29:29,039
Speaker 4: Compete with other actors.

2685
02:29:29,080 --> 02:29:32,480
Speaker 15: Out there to get talents like say, slots on Abrahimovic.

2686
02:29:33,840 --> 02:29:37,520
Speaker 15: There are several player slots that are exempt from the

2687
02:29:37,560 --> 02:29:40,360
Speaker 15: salary cap, but you're still limited on what you can

2688
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:44,000
Speaker 15: pay out for those players to bring them stateside. And

2689
02:29:44,040 --> 02:29:47,120
Speaker 15: that means practically, if you are an MLS contending with

2690
02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:49,800
Speaker 15: say the Premier League or La Liga. Ladiga has been

2691
02:29:49,840 --> 02:29:52,400
Speaker 15: having a very fun transfer season. By the way, you're

2692
02:29:52,440 --> 02:29:55,360
Speaker 15: missing out on too many big players, top talents who

2693
02:29:55,400 --> 02:29:57,560
Speaker 15: are going to go to more places where they won't

2694
02:29:57,560 --> 02:29:59,959
Speaker 15: have limits on what they can spend.

2695
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:02,039
Speaker 4: You've encouraged the sort of it's.

2696
02:30:01,879 --> 02:30:04,800
Speaker 15: Okay to not spend this money to compete with the

2697
02:30:04,800 --> 02:30:07,840
Speaker 15: big guys out there. And that can even be traced

2698
02:30:07,879 --> 02:30:10,640
Speaker 15: back to how MLS was able to bring in Leonel Messi,

2699
02:30:10,760 --> 02:30:13,959
Speaker 15: where they had to help enter Miami spend the money

2700
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:17,560
Speaker 15: to afford a Lionel Messi. And here's the grim part

2701
02:30:17,560 --> 02:30:20,560
Speaker 15: about competing. If you're MLS, your entire window for this

2702
02:30:20,600 --> 02:30:23,720
Speaker 15: summer is gone. Premier League, Laaliga, all the rest of

2703
02:30:23,760 --> 02:30:27,720
Speaker 15: Europe are coming back next week. That's right, August fifteenth, Thursday.

2704
02:30:27,879 --> 02:30:30,640
Speaker 15: We're already getting domestic season kickoff in La Liga in

2705
02:30:30,760 --> 02:30:33,720
Speaker 15: Spain Friday, will be the Premier League and Saturday will

2706
02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:37,440
Speaker 15: be a full slate of Syria. It's already coming back

2707
02:30:37,560 --> 02:30:40,320
Speaker 15: so so quickly. That's just one of the things I've

2708
02:30:40,320 --> 02:30:42,360
Speaker 15: had on MLS, Bernie. But we should talk a little

2709
02:30:42,360 --> 02:30:44,640
Speaker 15: bit before we get out of here about the latest

2710
02:30:44,760 --> 02:30:46,120
Speaker 15: US men's team rumor.

2711
02:30:46,160 --> 02:30:47,560
Speaker 4: They still have yet to hire a coach.

2712
02:30:47,840 --> 02:30:52,000
Speaker 15: However, several newspapers out there, the Athletic with New York

2713
02:30:52,040 --> 02:30:57,280
Speaker 15: Times sources reporting to them that Mauricio post Chattino is

2714
02:30:57,360 --> 02:30:59,680
Speaker 15: one of the top names for the job right now

2715
02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:02,880
Speaker 15: in the might be pursuing him. Poschatino has a bit

2716
02:31:02,920 --> 02:31:05,600
Speaker 15: of an interesting profile right now. He was kind of

2717
02:31:05,640 --> 02:31:09,160
Speaker 15: the rising star bringing Southampton the Premier League up to

2718
02:31:09,240 --> 02:31:11,760
Speaker 15: prominence before he then get hired away where he spent

2719
02:31:11,920 --> 02:31:16,879
Speaker 15: five seasons with Tottenham Hotspur, going to about Tottenham Hotspur levels,

2720
02:31:16,959 --> 02:31:19,000
Speaker 15: never really going too far, but I don't think a

2721
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:21,400
Speaker 15: lot of that was completely on him, and then getting

2722
02:31:21,440 --> 02:31:25,600
Speaker 15: bounce between Paris, Saint Germaine and Chelsea, both with outsized expectations.

2723
02:31:25,959 --> 02:31:28,480
Speaker 15: It would be very interesting to see him come to

2724
02:31:28,520 --> 02:31:30,800
Speaker 15: the United States. I think this is a man who

2725
02:31:30,800 --> 02:31:34,240
Speaker 15: has a lot of European experience. It would fit very well.

2726
02:31:34,280 --> 02:31:36,760
Speaker 15: He is a coach who favors a very high press

2727
02:31:36,800 --> 02:31:40,160
Speaker 15: attacking style of soccer, and that is something that has

2728
02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:44,360
Speaker 15: fit this profile of American soccer. Who wants to press,

2729
02:31:44,360 --> 02:31:46,440
Speaker 15: who wants to have possession, and who wants to get

2730
02:31:46,440 --> 02:31:51,480
Speaker 15: goal scoring opportunities. That he also raised a lot of

2731
02:31:51,560 --> 02:31:54,800
Speaker 15: young players who played at his clubs ended up going

2732
02:31:54,840 --> 02:31:57,720
Speaker 15: on and playing for the English national team. I think

2733
02:31:57,840 --> 02:31:59,560
Speaker 15: this is guy who would be a very good developer

2734
02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:01,959
Speaker 15: of talent and someone who fits the profile of what

2735
02:32:02,040 --> 02:32:04,440
Speaker 15: the team wants to play on the field. I think

2736
02:32:04,480 --> 02:32:07,640
Speaker 15: this would be a very good interesting hire. If this

2737
02:32:07,920 --> 02:32:10,680
Speaker 15: is true, we will have to see, but I would

2738
02:32:10,720 --> 02:32:14,840
Speaker 15: say Poshatino definitely gets my nod of approval on first

2739
02:32:14,879 --> 02:32:17,560
Speaker 15: blush as we start to look closer and closer and

2740
02:32:17,600 --> 02:32:19,880
Speaker 15: who the Americans will have next. But that's going to

2741
02:32:19,920 --> 02:32:21,959
Speaker 15: do it for world of soccer this week, Bernie, We've

2742
02:32:21,959 --> 02:32:24,440
Speaker 15: got a lot to do here. As I said, next week,

2743
02:32:24,920 --> 02:32:27,760
Speaker 15: club play is back, Premier League is back, La Liga

2744
02:32:27,879 --> 02:32:32,199
Speaker 15: is back, Syria is back. The soccer is getting already

2745
02:32:32,600 --> 02:32:33,879
Speaker 15: into the club levels.

2746
02:32:33,959 --> 02:32:35,800
Speaker 4: We cannot wait. We'll see you next time.

2747
02:32:36,920 --> 02:32:39,360
Speaker 2: As Chris said, the MLS is back. Also, it starts

2748
02:32:39,400 --> 02:32:43,360
Speaker 2: up again August twenty fourth, just thirteen days await coming up.

2749
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:45,520
Speaker 2: We wrap up the show and I want to give

02:32:45,600 --> 02:32:47,600
Speaker 2: up the I want to give the number one overall

Speaker 2: thanks so much for jumping in tonight. Out Standing job

2760
02:33:16,680 --> 02:33:19,320
Speaker 2: from a to Z brand new fool what my name?

2761
02:33:19,640 --> 02:33:22,760
Speaker 2: Keeping his glue together. Mark Ramsey is always turning all

2762
02:33:22,760 --> 02:33:25,600
Speaker 2: the dials, keeping us afloat, keeping the plane in the air,

2763
02:33:25,640 --> 02:33:29,160
Speaker 2: and the chef Kevin Wyatt with another baffo performance. Thanks

2764
02:33:29,160 --> 02:33:30,760
Speaker 2: to the crew. They've been with me since eleven pm

2765
02:33:30,800 --> 02:33:36,480
Speaker 2: Pacific on Saturday night. I want to give some flowers

2766
02:33:36,520 --> 02:33:41,120
Speaker 2: to the number one overall draft pick Caleb Williams. He's

2767
02:33:41,160 --> 02:33:43,280
Speaker 2: been a little polarizing, but I got to say you

2768
02:33:43,280 --> 02:33:45,720
Speaker 2: when he took the field of it, covering the NFL

2769
02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:47,879
Speaker 2: for a while, covering the lines for ten years, and

2770
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:51,640
Speaker 2: he did something the first series on the field that

2771
02:33:51,720 --> 02:33:56,240
Speaker 2: really impressed me. The pocket collapsed and he recognized what

2772
02:33:56,280 --> 02:33:58,760
Speaker 2: was happening, and he made a play, and that play

2773
02:33:58,840 --> 02:34:03,320
Speaker 2: turned into fairly signific positive yardage. He didn't make the

2774
02:34:03,360 --> 02:34:05,800
Speaker 2: play with his arm necessarily, and certainly not his legs.

2775
02:34:05,800 --> 02:34:10,360
Speaker 2: He made the play with his eyes. Yes, a little

2776
02:34:10,360 --> 02:34:13,560
Speaker 2: shovel pass as the pocket collapsed, saw it, got rid

2777
02:34:13,600 --> 02:34:16,400
Speaker 2: of it. He made the play with his eyes. With

2778
02:34:16,440 --> 02:34:19,119
Speaker 2: all due respect, Justin Fields would have never done that.

2779
02:34:19,480 --> 02:34:22,199
Speaker 2: He'd taken off and run, spun around like a whirling dervish,

2780
02:34:22,560 --> 02:34:24,720
Speaker 2: ran around for about thirty eight yards with maybe a

2781
02:34:24,720 --> 02:34:27,400
Speaker 2: net game of tune, and people would have said, oh wow,

2782
02:34:27,760 --> 02:34:28,600
Speaker 2: look at that man.

2783
02:34:29,360 --> 02:34:30,440
Speaker 4: Well look at that guy.

2784
02:34:30,520 --> 02:34:33,600
Speaker 2: Go okay, that's not what you want your NFL quarterback doing.

2785
02:34:34,640 --> 02:34:36,959
Speaker 2: His quarterback is a position you do play with your eyes.

2786
02:34:36,959 --> 02:34:40,000
Speaker 2: He received the ball, You make mental snap shots and

2787
02:34:40,040 --> 02:34:43,120
Speaker 2: you have less than two seconds to execute. I was

2788
02:34:43,400 --> 02:34:49,200
Speaker 2: very impressed with Caleb Williams's physical latitude, his command of

2789
02:34:49,240 --> 02:34:51,560
Speaker 2: the position. He seems to play with joy. I liked

2790
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:55,920
Speaker 2: his footwork, but I will tell you what I observed

2791
02:34:55,959 --> 02:34:58,760
Speaker 2: over the course of well, he ended up taking twenty

2792
02:34:58,840 --> 02:35:03,160
Speaker 2: total snaps and he you know, was on the field

2793
02:35:02,959 --> 02:35:08,920
Speaker 2: for two full drives. And Caleb Williams showed in just

2794
02:35:08,959 --> 02:35:12,360
Speaker 2: a short amount of time, what is going to brand

2795
02:35:12,440 --> 02:35:16,280
Speaker 2: him as what I consider to be a prolific playmaker,

2796
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:22,360
Speaker 2: a unique playmaker. And yes, it's just the preseason, and

2797
02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:24,920
Speaker 2: yes it's just his first game, and we don't want

2798
02:35:24,959 --> 02:35:26,440
Speaker 2: to joke around and put him in the one Game

2799
02:35:26,480 --> 02:35:31,320
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. But great quarterbacks showed traits right away,

2800
02:35:31,560 --> 02:35:36,760
Speaker 2: and Caleb Williams showed those trades. Now, it's not just okay,

2801
02:35:36,760 --> 02:35:40,280
Speaker 2: it was four to seven and pass attempts and by

2802
02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:41,920
Speaker 2: the way, there were a couple of drops, or he

2803
02:35:41,959 --> 02:35:44,880
Speaker 2: would have been six for seven. Still ninety five yards.

2804
02:35:46,160 --> 02:35:49,160
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. If he had seven attempts

2805
02:35:49,200 --> 02:35:51,760
Speaker 2: and he threw for ninety five yards, well we're talking

2806
02:35:51,800 --> 02:35:54,680
Speaker 2: about thirteen yards an attempt, which means you're keeping your

2807
02:35:54,680 --> 02:35:58,840
Speaker 2: eyes down field. He also had to scramble for thirteen

2808
02:35:58,959 --> 02:36:05,120
Speaker 2: yards and in both of Caleb Williams' possessions. As it were,

2809
02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:09,520
Speaker 2: the two drives he presided over, the Bears got into

2810
02:36:09,560 --> 02:36:12,360
Speaker 2: the red zone both times, and they ended up in

2811
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:15,200
Speaker 2: field goals both times, but they ended up with points

2812
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:19,280
Speaker 2: both times. Now, it appears to me that Caleb Williams

2813
02:36:19,680 --> 02:36:23,360
Speaker 2: has very good pocket awareness. Justin fields did not have that.

2814
02:36:24,400 --> 02:36:28,039
Speaker 2: But he's also gonna be one of those guys that's

2815
02:36:28,080 --> 02:36:32,160
Speaker 2: gonna have a real ability to make plays out of nothing.

2816
02:36:32,200 --> 02:36:35,720
Speaker 2: He'll create even if you get out of structure, if

2817
02:36:35,760 --> 02:36:38,120
Speaker 2: you get out of sync, if you get off schedule.

2818
02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:40,480
Speaker 2: Because he showed a lot of poise, he showed a

2819
02:36:40,520 --> 02:36:43,920
Speaker 2: lot of awareness, and when he's on the move, his

2820
02:36:44,240 --> 02:36:47,560
Speaker 2: throws were precise, and I will tell you, for the

2821
02:36:47,640 --> 02:36:51,400
Speaker 2: first time out of the gate, he showed a lot.

2822
02:36:51,720 --> 02:36:55,320
Speaker 2: He's very first completion as a pro. Yeah, in the preseason,

2823
02:36:55,800 --> 02:36:58,640
Speaker 2: it was third and long. You could clearly see he

2824
02:36:58,800 --> 02:37:01,240
Speaker 2: read his progressions, work through his progressions. All of a

2825
02:37:01,240 --> 02:37:04,080
Speaker 2: sudden he finds DJ Moore for a twelve yard game.

2826
02:37:04,879 --> 02:37:08,400
Speaker 2: Then later in that same series, he threw a seed

2827
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:12,600
Speaker 2: to Cole Comet and he was on the move when

2828
02:37:12,640 --> 02:37:15,280
Speaker 2: he did it, so he got flushed out. Kept plays alive,

2829
02:37:15,280 --> 02:37:18,640
Speaker 2: with his feet, kept his eyes downfield, was moving with purpose,

2830
02:37:19,280 --> 02:37:20,920
Speaker 2: got the ball out of his hand, got it to

2831
02:37:20,920 --> 02:37:24,560
Speaker 2: Cole Comet, threw a dart on the run. Now, he

2832
02:37:24,720 --> 02:37:29,720
Speaker 2: also later in that same series, hit DeAndre Swift and looked,

2833
02:37:29,800 --> 02:37:31,440
Speaker 2: you know, with a little bit of a flare. I

2834
02:37:31,640 --> 02:37:33,160
Speaker 2: don't know if it was a no look pass, but

2835
02:37:33,200 --> 02:37:35,400
Speaker 2: it was kind of like a no look pass to

2836
02:37:35,560 --> 02:37:38,040
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift. And that created a forty two yard game.

2837
02:37:38,520 --> 02:37:40,680
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is what you are

2838
02:37:40,720 --> 02:37:45,120
Speaker 2: seeing now is a quarterback who may actually live up

2839
02:37:45,160 --> 02:37:48,680
Speaker 2: to the hype. I look, we all know that drafting

2840
02:37:48,680 --> 02:37:52,440
Speaker 2: a first round quarterback is a complete crapshoot in the NFL,

2841
02:37:52,520 --> 02:37:56,840
Speaker 2: the the you know, the percentage of success is not great.

2842
02:37:57,720 --> 02:38:00,000
Speaker 2: But and the Bears, I don't know why Jim mcmah

2843
02:38:00,200 --> 02:38:01,959
Speaker 2: never gets his flowers. He let him do a Super Bowl.

2844
02:38:02,040 --> 02:38:04,720
Speaker 2: He was a prolific passer BYU. The Bears have always

2845
02:38:04,720 --> 02:38:06,960
Speaker 2: been a running defense type team. Now you got a

2846
02:38:07,040 --> 02:38:10,560
Speaker 2: chance for a real quarterback that's gonna make defenses. Create

2847
02:38:10,600 --> 02:38:13,080
Speaker 2: two game plans, one for the game plan and one

2848
02:38:13,120 --> 02:38:16,400
Speaker 2: for when the play breaks down and Caleb Williams does

2849
02:38:16,400 --> 02:38:19,280
Speaker 2: his thing. High hopes for Caleb Williams. He had a

2850
02:38:19,360 --> 02:38:23,160
Speaker 2: very good, impressive debut and made a great first impression

2851
02:38:23,600 --> 02:38:26,560
Speaker 2: Saturday against Buffalo. I was very impressed. It's gonna do

2852
02:38:26,600 --> 02:38:28,240
Speaker 2: it for the Bernie Frattles Show. We'll see you next

2853
02:38:28,280 --> 02:38:31,480
Speaker 2: Friday night, eleven pm. Meantime, keep it locked up next

2854
02:38:31,480 --> 02:38:33,920
Speaker 2: the great Andy Furman. I'm Fox Sports Radio.
