And 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: the Jets went three and oh in the preseason, wrapping 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: it up with a nice win over the Giants. Uh 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: like the four string quarterback tossing some TV passes to 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, the bum who I shouldn't say that's harsh. 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: I I apologize. We're not gonna edit it that out 30 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: because we're just gonna let it flow. Denzel Mims, the 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,919 Speaker 1: quasi bust who is the Jets are trying to unload, 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: had a really nice game. Good his stock is up, 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: and I now you guys have your fill of New 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: York Jets in the preseason. That being said in rows 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: out of the way, this is a big Monday. I 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: will be for the first time hosting cow Herd show 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: The Herd solo. Never done that before. Before you get 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: too excited, it is radio only Cowherd. Um. He took 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: took the week off, um, and so his staff is 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: off as well, so you know, they get a little 41 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: break before football season. So you know, I talked to 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: Scott Shapiro, the big boss who makes all the radio decisions. 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: I was like, sure, I'll do Monday. Heck yeah, now, 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: um after Monday, I will, you know, be a little 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: respite so I can enjoy some free time before football begins. Uh, 46 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: may go out of town. Probably played basketball a few times, 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: by the way, old man basketball story. Uh going for 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: a a loose ball off a deflection Rob Saturday morning, 49 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: first game, like four minutes in and I like collided 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: with a guy and like, my back just I instantly 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: felt it, like just tweaked Titan. I was like off, 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: played just horribly, just kind of jogged for the rest 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: of the and then the whole weekend was kind of ruined, tarnished, 54 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: if you will, by a small back injury. But there's 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: bigger things, Rob, bigger things ahead. And I think the 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: big story in every blog, website, podcast, TV show, radio 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: show today has to be Tom Brady in what easily 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: is the best quote that I've seen from Brady. I mean, 59 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to say ever, but it certainly is 60 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: one of the greatest that he's uttered at least in 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: the last five years. Tom Brady on his absence from 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: The Bucks. I'm forty five years old, man, there's a 63 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: lot of ship going on. I saw the quote Saturday. 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't know where I was. Actually I know where 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: I was. I was at a fiftieth birthday for a 66 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: friend and then cousin Sal was there, so I bumped 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: into him. Um and right. I saw this Tom Brady 68 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: quote right before that, and I was like, see fading 69 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: the Bucks. In week one we started talking about gambling obviously, Um, 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: but Brady's been through a lot, and folks, listen, all 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, this whole story about what on earth 72 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: happened for him to take an eleven day vacation. First 73 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, maybe Giselle said we need to 74 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: take a break before the kids go back to school. 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Family time. And then there was a bunch of masked 76 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: singer speculation. I don't watch the show personally, I know 77 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: it is a Fox show. Um, my kids like it. 78 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: There was speculation that, oh, Brady is now an announcer 79 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: for Fox in the future, maybe he's doing that singer 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: and of course, um Brady denied that and came out 81 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: with there's a lot of bleep going on, and I'm 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: trying to decipher that, Rob, And you never want to 83 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: play like body language expert, although I did plenty of 84 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: that when I was at US Weekly. Rob, he didn't 85 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: sound like a happy camper when he said, if you 86 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: guys have seen the video, I mean, it was all 87 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: over social media. But for Tom Brady to act like 88 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on, he's forty five. 89 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to say he didn't want to be there. 90 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: But no Gronk, no Antonio Brown. Yeah, I mean Brady 91 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: played well Saturday night. Um, he had nine pass attempts. 92 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: The bulk of them were quick, like two step drop 93 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: within the line of scrimmage. No passes down the field 94 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: of twenty yards and more. But it's not like the 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: culture blitzing, nothing exotic, nothing interesting. Listen, it's the final 96 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: preseason game. Don't get hurt, right. And I started to 97 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: read about the Bucks yesterday, and it's very clear that 98 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: the offensive line is a concern. The GM and the 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: head coach are like, hey, you know, we can't afford 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: any more injuries. Maybe we'll be looking at the wire. 101 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have a rookie second round picks starting 102 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: at left guard. They're starting a converted tackle who played 103 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: thirty one snaps last year, none of them at center. 104 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: He's gonna start at center. He suffered a high ankle 105 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: spring Saturday night, so it's possible they will be missing 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: him in the opener. And and here's the weird thing, 107 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: Rob I dug into it. And the first move the 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: Bucks made when Tom Brady returned, he announced he's coming back. 109 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Let's give and Jensen their center a three year deal. 110 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: Let's lock him in, keep Brady happy. And I started 111 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: to read about Jensen and how good the line was 112 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: last year. The Bucks allowed the fewest number of sacks 113 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: last year, and they're starting lineman played percent of snaps together. 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: According to Warren Sharpe's preview, I hope you guys read that. 115 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: There's some really good stuff in there, so add it 116 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: all up. Brady didn't take sacks. He had Antonio Brown, 117 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: he had Grog, he had Mike Evans. Remember they won 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they crushed the Chiefs. Then they returned 119 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty two starters, all of them. I think the first 120 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: time that's ever happened. Everything was great. Now Brady's coming back, 121 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: It's like three of his interior linement are all going 122 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: to be different. One retirement, one injury, one lost in 123 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: free agency. It's like, wait, who are these guys? And 124 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: I know I've hyped up the bucks a lot. I 125 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: actually think Rob, I am ready to go with the 126 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints to win the NFC South. I think 127 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull it off. They do own Brady a 128 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: little bit. Uh, the schedule is tough early for Brady. 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: I know after that it lightens. But Rob, I I'm 130 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: not rooting against Brady the way I'm rooting against Belichick, 131 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a moment um. I don't 132 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a great start for Brady. 133 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: And you know the media loves to build up tear down, 134 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: and they are just the knives are gonna come out 135 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: for why did he come out of retirement. He's forty five. 136 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: He's falling off the cliff. Your guy, Rob Parker will 137 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: will be like I told you for the last six 138 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: years he was gonna fall off a cliff. Look it happened. 139 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen, right Rob, early first in September. 140 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: I hope so because I've been waiting for the Tom 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: Brady fall off myself for a long time. You know 142 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: that I'm not a fan of Tom Brady. Hater. I've 143 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: been saying. You know, when that rumor came out that 144 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: um John Gruden shot down the potential Tom Brady acquisition 145 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: in Vegas, that Dana wife floated out, I was like, good, 146 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: because that's the only thing that John Brudin never did 147 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: right in Vegas. Because no self respecting radio fan whenever 148 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: route for Tom Brady. Like, that's how much I dislike 149 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in football wise? Just Raiders? Is it because 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: of the chuck rule? Yes, he is the tuck rule personified, 151 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: even if it's he's not specifically the reason why it happened, 152 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: it's the NFL at fault, but because he was the 153 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: one involved in the play, he's the guy we we 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: both well, let me ask you said, no self respecting 155 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Raiders fan, I I don't know. I feel like that 156 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: could apply in the n B A Like I know 157 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: a lot of Lakers fans who are outraged about this 158 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: pet pev thing. I can't root for this guy. He 159 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: held his nose up to Russell Westbrook. He was so 160 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: nasty to the the Lakers when he was on the Clippers. 161 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: Bleep this guy, get him out of here. I will 162 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: not root for I don't. I don't feel that same 163 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: enmity in football that I hope I use that correctly. 164 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: I just don't feel it's the same. But your hatred 165 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: for Brady, Yeah, no, it's it's definitely d n B. 166 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: The the NBA is definitely different, UM as it relates 167 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: to Tom Brady though. Two things. Number One, it's a rule. 168 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: We never heard of the fact that it has a 169 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: name now because of Tom Brady and the Raiders that 170 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, carry some weight. Number Two, I know that 171 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: they ended up making the Super Bowl UM after John 172 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: Ruden left, but every Raider fan knows that that was 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: the best team they've ever had, the one that lost 174 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: to Tom Brady and the Tuck rule, because that was 175 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: of the team that was actually balanced offensively and defensively. 176 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: So if we were gonna win a Super Bowl, that 177 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 1: was going to be the one that did it, and 178 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: ultimately obviously didn't happen. UM. But I'm going down sidetrack now, 179 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: just going back to Tom Brady. I think it's been 180 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: pretty clear if you read the TVs a little bit, 181 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: and most notably from Rick Stroud, has been covered the 182 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: team forever, and he said on Dan Patrick that it 183 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: definitely wasn't a vacation that he was on, and it 184 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: was obviously something of a personal nature that even he 185 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: didn't feel comfortable sharing. And if you're a reporter and 186 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: you have information that even you don't want to share, 187 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: that kind of says something, that says something that it's 188 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: it goes beyond the scope of football, whatever it is 189 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: he's dealing with. Do you remember when Lebron took that 190 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: vacation he was in Miami? I think, yeah, when he 191 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: left Cleveland. No, No, I think it was like in January. Yeah, 192 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: he left Cleveland and went down to Miami for ten days. 193 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: He was he was, I don't it's still unclear what 194 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: happened or what caused at but or do we know? 195 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a while. So Brian Windhorse said 196 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: that if I recall, you know, don't aggregate it, but 197 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: if I recall, Windhorse reported that Lebron was fed up 198 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: with the cash front office and he needed a break 199 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: and it was as much mental as it was physical, 200 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: and then he went down to South Beach for about 201 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: a week and came back with a vengeance. Ten days. Yeah, yeah, 202 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: something like that. Okay, so is there a can you 203 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: see Brady doing something like this too? I don't salvagees marriage. 204 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't. Again, I'm speculating. I don't know. Can you 205 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: see him all of a sudden taking a couple of weeks. 206 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quickly look at the schedule see if there's 207 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: like a real if there's a window with their bye week, 208 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna I'm gonna say no before you even 209 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: finished looking that up. For two reasons. Number one, it 210 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: was pre approved by the Bucks. Todd Bowle said that 211 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: they had this planned before training camp even started. It 212 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: was a planned absence. Number two, as for the show, 213 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Chris Brussar has noted repeatedly, Tom Brady can go on 214 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,239 Speaker 1: vacation whatever the hell he wants to, Like he operates 215 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: in a different tax bracket than everybody else. If he 216 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: wants to go to Greece on a Tuesday in June, 217 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady jumps on the James in Greece like it's 218 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: not even, it's not difficult. He makes one phone call, 219 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: he can go wherever he wants. So I highly doubt 220 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: even if this you know, this idea that it was 221 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: part of a family agreement that he was going to 222 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: take this vacation before he retired. Signed to retire. And 223 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: it's like Tom Brady, if he really wanted to as 224 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: soon as he retired, could have said, you know, I'm 225 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: gonna skip o t a s, I'm gonna go to 226 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: Australia for six days. I'm gonna shoot on up to 227 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Switzerland for six days. He could do whatever the hell 228 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: he wants to. How about this, So, Robbie, just based 229 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: on what you said, I looked at the schedule. The 230 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: bye week is week eleven, the week before Tom Brady 231 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: and the Bucks traveled to Germany to play Lowly Seattle, 232 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: which probably will have like a two in ten record 233 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: or whatever that time. Is there a chance Brady pulls 234 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: some kind of lebron and says, hey, guys, I know 235 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Germany wants to see me. I'm huge in Germany. Like Hasselhoff, 236 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: I apologize NFL. I ain't going I have a nagging 237 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: injury and I'm gonna take the two weeks to heal 238 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: at home with the supermodel wife. It what are the 239 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: if you're giving me odds on that one scene is 240 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: about right only because this is unheard of for him 241 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: to skip a training camp to begin with. So he's 242 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: obviously at a different plane mentally than he's ever been. 243 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, once you start contemplating retirement, people have always 244 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: said other athletes, as soon as you're thinking about retirement, 245 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: you're already retired. So as much as Tom Brady is, 246 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, a maniac when it comes to football, there's 247 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: he's obviously in the different plane now than he's ever been. Um. 248 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: But going back to what I was saying originally with 249 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: what rich Draw reported, wasn't a vacation, it was something 250 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: very personal, something he didn't feel confortable reporting. If it 251 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: was just a vacation, it was just to get way 252 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: with Gazelle. There's no shame in reporting that. He's not 253 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: going to get his credentials pulled for reporting that. So 254 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: it does lead me to believe that maybe it's something 255 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: as simple as again, this is just pure speculation. Um, 256 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: maybe he had a vasectomy. Maybe he had a colonoscopy, 257 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: like you know, something private where it's not life threatening. 258 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: It's something that's not you know, a medical procedure as 259 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: they would say in the headlines, Oh you guys, niece scope. 260 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: That's no, he had an impatient outpatient thing. He's a 261 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: couple of days recovering whatever, you know something. That's what 262 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: I read when I look at there's a lot of 263 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: ship going on, and I think about what it could mean. 264 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't think, I don't he made a point to 265 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: mention his age. Oh okay, um, I was thinking. So 266 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously obviously GE's something doubled the wife. Maybe 267 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: she was getting something done, maybe she had a planned 268 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: operation that when you you and go on in I 269 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: g and and try to get a picture of what's 270 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: going on, and like she doesn't post a lot um 271 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: if ever, and it's it is weird because you know, 272 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: some people post frequently and you can get a window 273 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: into what's going on with them, and then you just 274 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: have other people who are dark all the time and 275 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: kind of mysterious, if you will, which is I think 276 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: cool in two right, if there's an air of mystery, 277 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: you don't know what this person is up to, what 278 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: are they doing? I need some more of that in 279 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: my life. Maybe I'll do a little of that, just 280 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, because I know what you have for 281 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: lunch every day? Nah, come on, really? Yeah, like a 282 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: sushi box or well, hey, here's the thing. Since I 283 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: have been doing Cowhard Show more, I haven't really gotten that. 284 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: So I had to treat myself this week and I 285 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: did not post about it. So you're right, we need 286 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: to post a little less um. But speaking of Cowhard show, 287 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: off the Brady topic real quick. So I I was 288 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: talking to somebody, I don't know, I think it was Friday. Friday, 289 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'll just on the drive in I'll just 290 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: like text people and try to get on the phone 291 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: with people and you know, make the drive a little shorter. 292 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: And I ended up talking to somebody, um from a 293 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: close to a prominent player in the Bucks division. And 294 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: I was asking about this whole trade Lance forty nine stuff, 295 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: what's going on? What do you know? What do you 296 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: really And the person said, you know, if you really 297 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: want a potential comp for trade Lance, the guy you 298 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: need to look at his r G three And I 299 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: was like why and he's like, well, Shanahan was the 300 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: o C in Washington in his dad was the head coach. 301 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: AREG three was a rookie. Remember they traded up for 302 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: him to get him from Baylor. R G three comes 303 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: out in the first game if you remember, against the 304 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: Saints and he just puts on a show and from 305 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: there he was unbelievable. He beat out Andrew Luck for 306 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year. He got Washington to the playoffs, 307 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: and then they ended up losing two. I think it 308 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: was Seattle. He got injured in the game and then 309 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: he tried to play. It was a disaster. Um, But 310 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: they're like and just remember r G three was a spindly, 311 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: skinny kid. Tray Lance is built not quite like a 312 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: running back, but he's more like He's way better built 313 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: frame wise than r G three. The only problem, of course, 314 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: is r G three played forty one games in college. 315 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: He had an injury, so he ended up staying an 316 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: extra year. Trey Lance played seventeen, so r G three 317 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: came into the league with like eight more passive attempts, 318 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: so he was a much more polished prospect. Now the 319 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: counter is r G three played instantly. Trey Lance had 320 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: effectively a red shirt year. And this person went on 321 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: to say, go, look at that Wasthington offense. I pull 322 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: up the stats. I mean, rob r G three when 323 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: he put up that monster rookie year was throwing to 324 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: Santana Moss and Pierre Garcon Trey Lance now is throwing 325 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: to Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, arguably two of the 326 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: best at their pass catching position in the league. And 327 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: then if you look at what the Niners did with 328 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: running backs, they're like four deep at running back and 329 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: you know they got the run the zone run scheme 330 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: from Shanahan. Alfred Morris, they wore him down to dust 331 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: in Washington in twelve. I went way deep on this 332 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: because I'm nerdy, and Alfred Morris had a humongous year. 333 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember him, big al 334 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: I think you were number forty six. He had a 335 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: huge year. Is gonna divide those carries up by like 336 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: four different guys, and that makes it tough and fantasy. 337 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: I have a fantasy story to tell you to been it. 338 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: But then I go look, just for fun, I went 339 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: and looked at some trade lance um props and remember 340 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: I think it was uh was it Bernie Fratto? It 341 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: might have been uh, Aaron Chats. I forget, but somebody 342 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: had mentioned, you know, trade Lance props that would look 343 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: at his rushing yards. Prop has gone up by two 344 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: hundred yards. That's how much the market thinks trade Lance 345 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: could dominate, running and throwing. His odds for m VP 346 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: went from twenty to one to about I'm sorry, two 347 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: to two, one to something in the neighborhood of one 348 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: right now. And it's like, oh my gosh, So my 349 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: guy puts me on top of this. I mentioned some 350 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: of it on Cowherd Show Friday and Mark Sanchez, former 351 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback, comes up talks to me like we're friends. Hey, 352 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: j what's up man. I've never talked to him my life. 353 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: Super friendly guy. And he's like, I gotta ask, what's 354 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: this Jet stuff? You love the Jets. You're talking about 355 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: him every day on the show. I was like, oh 356 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: my gosh, Marks, it says is watching regularly. It's a 357 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: guy I rooted for for the Jets. I was like, 358 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: I was born in New York, so I trust me. 359 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: I remember your remember your four playoff wins as well 360 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: as anybody does. Trust me, um, And he's like, the 361 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,239 Speaker 1: only thing I don't like is you stole my RG 362 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: three thunder. I was like, huh, and he's like, yeah, 363 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: this RG three stuffs Apparently it's making the rounds in 364 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: some NFL circle. So I was like proud, and it 365 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: just gave me the shout out on the show, and 366 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: and I mean again, I've been Rob, I think fairly 367 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: negative on Lance here, I've been pro Jimmy G. And 368 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: then just hearing this different voice from somebody who's in 369 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: the league to me, I gotta take a pause and like, 370 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: are the Niners win in this division? I mean t 371 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: A was on Friday pump them up? And you know Rams, 372 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: they're not repeating. Let's just get that clear. Arizona is 373 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: not as good as they were last year. Seattle's a 374 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: dumpster fire. I don't know, Rob, I did I just 375 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: make a case for Trey Lance to do well. I 376 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: mean you kind of did, um, which is shocking because 377 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: you've been riding the Jimmy G train all off season. 378 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: It feels like um. I thought t A said it 379 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: best on on Friday Show. If Trey Lance hits his ceiling, 380 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: that's a super Bowl caliber team because we've seen this 381 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: roster already with Jimmy G. The problem is we haven't 382 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: seen anything from him that would lead you to believe 383 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: that he can reach that ceiling. Fox Sports Radio has 384 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 385 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox sports radio dot Com and 386 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: within the I Heart radio app search f s R 387 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: to listen live. I mean the other the only other 388 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: thing is, I know everybody loves Trent Williams the left tackle. 389 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: They've got some changes on the offensive line, not quite 390 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: Bucks level issues, but they've got some questions. I think 391 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: three questionable dudes because they had some turnover on the inside. Um, 392 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: and we'll see, we'll see what happens. I've definitely I'm 393 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: still in a fan for Jimmy G A fun theory 394 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: I heard over the weekend was, uh, Seattle could be 395 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: interested in him, but guess what. The Niners play Seattle 396 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: in Week two, and the Niners do not want to 397 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: trade him. Seattle doesn't want to give up anything, so 398 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: they think Seattle that the Niners will just cut him 399 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: right before the season starts, so he doesn't have enough 400 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: time to get up on the Seattle playbook. He won't 401 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: be ready for week two at least with nothing good. 402 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: And you know the four Niners don't want to help 403 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: quote unquote help Seattle. UM. I still find that hard 404 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: to believe. I've fully bought into their tanking. But and 405 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: I also don't why would the Niners just cut him 406 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: and let him go to a division rival. That just 407 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, does it. Yeah, I don't see that 408 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: happening it I don't. I mean again, it's speculative. It's um. 409 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean the other specular thing I heard was Kenny Golladay, 410 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: who the Giants paid a million dollars. A billion dollars. Huh, 411 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: that wasn't millions. I mean he got like seventy mill 412 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: or whatever. Um. Kenny Golladay was bad and apparently he's 413 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: in the Brian Dable doghouse. And he was running with 414 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: like the second and third stringers, and then there was 415 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: a highlight rob I don't know if you saw it 416 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: Sunday Um where he was playing with the backups and 417 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: he was supposed to be blocking downfield and he just 418 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: he just pulled an ol a and just left the 419 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: quarterback over right by him. It was just like, I'm 420 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: not I'm not trying to block. So it's tough for me. 421 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: Did envision the Giants cutting him? I know they have 422 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: a pretty good wide receiver room there, one of the 423 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: most expensive in the league. But Kenny Golladay was awesome 424 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: to maybe three years ago with the Lions, and I mean, 425 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: if he's out there, that would be a good get. 426 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not bailing on him just because he had 427 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: an awful year with uh Danny Dimes and um, who 428 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: who's the former GEORGIEA. I don't even remember the backup 429 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: quarter Glennon maybe, but they had terrible backups there. Maybe 430 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: that was some of the problem, but I don't know. 431 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: You love the n U NFL speculation. Um well, we'll 432 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: close out real quick. Well, actually two other stories real quick. 433 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 1: Number one, So my brother, who I helped a little bit, 434 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: not that much, helped win a fantasy title several years ago, 435 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: had his Fantasy draft Saturday, and I sent him my 436 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: big list. I have an ongoing list anytime I read 437 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: stories on my phone, just a notes pad. I opened 438 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: it up like twenty seven guys for Fantasy mid to 439 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: late rounds, and one of the guys was Brian Robinson 440 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: from Washington. Because it sounds like Antonio Gibson is out 441 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: of favor in Washington, He's not gonna be the starter, 442 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: and Robinson was kind of a sleeper to win the job. Um. 443 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: J D. McKissick is not in every down back and 444 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: Robinson had a good shot. So Sunday it comes out 445 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: that Brian Robinson, who's a rookie, was shot while walking 446 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: on Eighth Street, apparently to his car or he was 447 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: getting into his car. But they're calling it an attempted carjacking. 448 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it is a terrifying sohere he was shot twice. 449 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: He's okay, But now the guy who was supposed to 450 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: be the starting running back in Washington behind Carson Wentz 451 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: is not even gonna play for who knows how long 452 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: because he got shot twice. First of all, six o'clock 453 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday and DC it's not even dark. And their 454 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: car jacking people, I mean I just read that. I 455 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, it's awful. Um So, anyways, 456 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: there's there. There's your fantasy football Phil and get healthy, 457 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Brian Robinson. I'm down on Washington. Fox Sports Radio has 458 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 459 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and 460 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R 461 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: to listen live. We will wrap up with a little 462 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: Laker chatter. I don't have anything. Go ahead, No, I'm 463 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: just saying anything Lakers. You know, I'm ready to roll, 464 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, and you can talk about uh Townka Toscono 465 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: Anderson possibly getting minutes in the front court. You know, 466 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm ready for it whenever you want to do. You 467 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: just saw geek because as Laker fans were listening and 468 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: writing about you on the internet. You love that they 469 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: all hate me. It's great. You gotta love the hater's 470 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: ball on the internet mean anything negative about the Lakers. 471 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: Um So, I don't know. I think back to Patrick 472 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Beverley's trade last week, Rob, did anyone have at all 473 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: an ounce of ascent that that was happening. I didn't 474 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: read one person anywhere say Patrick Beverley could be a Laker. 475 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: I had heard month and ago month, two months ago 476 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: it said the Lakers had at exploratory talks with Pat 477 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Bebs and then nothing. There was nothing after he was 478 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: traded to Utah after it was almost immediately after because 479 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, you know, Pat bet might get bought out, 480 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh no, the Lakers apparently talked to 481 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: him about a possible trade and then nothing ever came it. 482 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: Because you know how many times you hear people say, hey, 483 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: we spoke about this person and it was obviously a 484 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: no nonstarter, so it never caught up again. So it's 485 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: one of those like throwaway lines that was included in 486 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: an article. Okay, so basically it came out of left field. 487 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: Like I think, it's shocked pretty much everybody. I was shocked, right, 488 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: everybody's anytime you expect something, I feel like it's never accurate. 489 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: Anytime the media talks about something, it just doesn't happen. 490 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: We've been here in Westbrook trades. We've been hearing Buddy Healed, 491 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: which I felt for. We heard Kevin Durant. By the way, 492 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: just so you know, when Kevin Durant said I want 493 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: to be traded, the odds for the Nets to win 494 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: the title went up this fifty to one because everybody 495 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: thought he's gone. And whether it's Boston, Miami, vis whoever. 496 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't think at the time anybody had him staying. 497 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: Right now, if as time went on people had him staying, 498 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: I was kind of one of It's like, it just 499 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: makes sense, there's really nowhere to go. All that being said, Rob, 500 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: it feels like there is some landing spot for Russell 501 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: Westbrook that we're not anticipating. Right. The Pacers thing has 502 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: been rumored by way too many people for to actually happen, right, 503 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: It certainly feels that way, right if everybody says, I mean, like, 504 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: trust me, all these guys who were speculating, they're not 505 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: There's no, they're not. Ear to the ground with Rob Polinka. Okay, 506 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: like Malik Monk left for the Kings. Who had that? 507 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: Nobody had that. Malik Monk was great with the Lakers 508 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: last year. So I just really quickly wanted to go 509 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: through and try to find where on earth Russell Westbrook 510 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: could land. Could he land in Portland's I would say, 511 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: absolutely not. The Kings have no interest in him. Okay, 512 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: see none, Houston, none, saw what they did to John Wall. 513 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: One team that I really explored this possibly too deep, Rob, 514 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: was the San Antonio Spurs. Why you ask, Well, I 515 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: didn't even realize that they have the lowest wind total 516 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: in the NBA. Did you know that lowest? Did not 517 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: know that. I was stunned. I was like, really, twenty 518 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: three and a half. So they're projected to be the 519 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: worst team in the league. Do you remember the last 520 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: time they were the worst team in the league. They 521 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: ended up with Tim Duncan in the draft. Gregg Popovich 522 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: orchestrated it. They got Tim Duncan to pair with David 523 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: Robinson you know they love European foreign prospects. Man of Genoble, 524 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: Tony Parker, all these hits well, Victor womban Yama is 525 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: the overwhelming number one pick for next year's draft. Overwhelming. 526 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: He's seven ft three. Some of these highlights make him 527 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 1: look incredible, like the guy's unlike he looks like plastic man. 528 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: If you think chet Homegren looks good, go look up 529 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: big Vic dominating. Right? Is there a play where the 530 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: Spurs say, you know, we are rebooting, we want to 531 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: play all young guys and um, guess what we don't 532 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: want to win? Do we bring in Russell Westbrook and 533 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: to boost two more picks from the Lakers. That's the 534 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: only team in the West that I can see now. 535 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: Popovich and Russell Westbrook just they don't seem like they 536 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: would work together. But guess what, they're not trying to win, right? 537 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say they're tanking, but 538 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean look at their roster, rob have you have 539 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: you have you looked at it? Yeah? I know you 540 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: don't want to say they're thanking, but yes they're tanking. 541 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: Who is their best part, Keldon Johnson? It's got Romeo 542 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 1: Langford Yaka Purdle. I mean, Josh Primo has looked good 543 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: in Spurts, but he's like nineteen years old. Um, They've 544 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: got some decent young guys. They're not gonna win a 545 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: lot of games. But I just wonder if the Spurs 546 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: are the landing spot for Rust that we had not anticipated. 547 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: It's pretty clear there's there's nobody in the East that's 548 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: taken him. Right and of course because I say that somebody, 549 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: somebody dumb will take him or taking him, I think 550 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: there is a team in the East that would take him. 551 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: Not be a trade. I think it would have to 552 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: be a buyouts. Sure, not a trade, though, I think 553 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: it's gotta be. You know, Rust gets traded to San Antonio, 554 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: it's all and yet wherever bought out and then he 555 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: ends up in one place that I think you can 556 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: end up at in the East. Yes, in the league. Actually, 557 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: I think there's one team that actually does make sense 558 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: for Russell Westbrook. Well, it's definitely not Detroit. Um, the 559 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: Knicks are about to get Donovan Mitchell. We think he 560 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: did do well in Washington, Washington. And here's the reason 561 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: why anybody who gets Russell Westbrook, there's gotta be two 562 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: things that stand out. Number one, they don't already have 563 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: an established point guard or a young point guard that 564 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: they're grooming in place, So Washington doesn't have one. Up 565 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: until recently, I would have said the Knicks didn't have one. 566 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: They got Jalen Brunson. Now they're gonna get down there, 567 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: gonna have two point guards basically, so they're out. So 568 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: it leaves just Washington. Number two, whoever gets him can't 569 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: be in a position where they're actually trying to tank. 570 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: And with that horrible Bradley Beal contract that they gave, 571 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards have decided that they'd rather race to 572 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: the seven or eight seed at best then tank. So 573 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, for all of his faults and his you know, 574 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: lack of concentration and his you know shots off the 575 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: side of the backboard when he was in Washington, he 576 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: and Bradley Beale are definitely good enough to make the playoffs. 577 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: They're not gonna make any noise, but they can make 578 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. So if you're Washington, 579 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: I think it makes a lot of sense. Wow, this 580 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: is crazy idea. I just looked at this Washington roster. 581 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: My gosh, so last year, did you know, because you 582 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: have to play a certain amount of games to qualify that, 583 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma led them in points and rebounds and assist 584 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know that Bill only played forty minutes forty games. 585 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but Bill shooting guard, porzingis Kuzma, Rui Hachimura 586 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: name I love to say, Gafford, Denny Ada, Corey Kissper. 587 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 1: You're right, they do not. I mean Brad wanna make 588 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: or did they trade him or no? I think they 589 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: acquired him. Sataranski, Come on, he's can't be with the 590 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: team anymore. ESPN doesn't even have the depth chart listed 591 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: because there's so much changing. I'm just looking at their stats. 592 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: But you're right, Cassius Winston is their point guard. So 593 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: maybe Washington makes sense. But that's only as a buyout, right, 594 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: because you're not trading Kuzuma back to the Lakers. No, 595 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: it would be a bio. It would be you know, Utah, whatever, India, whoever, 596 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: picking whatever team you're thinking of, Charlotte and he gets 597 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: bought out and go with would you get a Kuzuma 598 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: jersey to celebrate his success in Washington? He was It's 599 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: it is absolutely bonkers how quickly players rise and fall 600 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: with the Lakers. I mean, remember th HD was untouchable 601 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: two years ago and now, I mean they kept th 602 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: HD over Alex Caruso. Remember that. Yeah, that's the big thing. 603 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean people were bringing up, oh, well, you wouldn't 604 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: trade him for Kyle Lowry, but you trade him for 605 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: Pat beav And it's like, no, the how Lowry trade 606 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: was the entire starting backcourt and your only young player 607 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: so much different. The one you should be piste off 608 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: about your Laker fan is the Alex Caruso because caruz show, 609 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: Caru show, because they didn't have to get rid of them, 610 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: Like there was just the owners being cheap. They didn't 611 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: want to pay another fifteen million or twenty million in 612 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: luxuries tact. So that's why they said we're gonna pick 613 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: one or the other. They picked wrong, and they ultimately 614 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: had to trade him for an older version of the 615 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: guy you let go. I wish I could find clips 616 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: rob g. What the twenty nineteen Lakers when like they 617 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: had brandon Ingram Kuzma, Caruso, a young Caruso, Alanzo Ball. 618 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you I know you love that team. I did. 619 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: They were fun to watch and they were they they 620 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: gave you something to look forward to, and they had 621 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: no chance at the playoffs and Lebron got again. But 622 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: you know what we look forward to was packaging all 623 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: those fools to get Anthony Davis and win a championship. 624 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well that's a lengthy Monday Pod. 625 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: We got big fantasy stuff this week. Um, We've probably 626 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: got some more NFL gambling. I am going to Vegas 627 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: this week, by the way, to uh lay some lumber 628 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: for the NFL um futures bets. I'll reveal some of 629 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: those later in the week, but everybody stays safe out there. 630 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: End of the summer. Talk to you tomorrow.
