You know the great thing about the NFL. 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: The games are great, but the build up, the reaction, 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: the fallout after a game, and then the build up 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: and the kind of the lead into the games the 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: next week. That's what's great. The in between makes the 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: NFL so much different than every other sport because you 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: truly have reality shows. That's what this is. All of 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: these teams, they're reality shows and they unfold right in 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: front of us, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes ugly. You 19 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: have things that happen off the field. You get coaches 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: who are fired, hired, rumors, innuendo, this quarterback, this player, 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: this team, And that's what's happening again this year. That's 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: what's happening with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And you look 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: at the situation with Antonio Brown. I think the reaction was, oh, 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: my gosh, he needs help, and maybe he does. Tom 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: Brady said that. But then you start to read some 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: of the things that Antonio Brown had to say about 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: the situation that the coach knew that he had a 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: tender ankle. He's listed as injured questionable, didn't participate in 29 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: practice last week a couple of days, but he was 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: cleared to play. And I think that's where Bruce Arians, 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: who by the way, is coaching with a ruptured achilles tendon, 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: probably said, wait, you can't go in the game, then 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: you're out of here. Now. Everybody got what they deserved 34 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: in this situation, in my opinion. You know, Tom Brady, 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, they got a Super Bowl out of Antonio Brown. 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: You're playing with fire. Every stop He's thrown somebody under 37 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: the busy. Everyone Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh and Mike Tomlin, 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: Mike mayonk the GM with the Raiders, Robert Craft with 39 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and here we are. It's Bruce Arian's turn, 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: is Antonio Brown gonna play again? Not in Tampa. That 41 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he won't get a chance again. But he's 42 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: starting to basically hang all of his dirty laundry out 43 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: because he's going to go down in flames, and he's 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: bringing people with him. But that's Antonio Brown. Therefore you 45 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: knew what you were getting. Nobody can go. Man, I'm 46 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: really surprised. It wasn't a question of if but when. 47 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: But you got your super Bowl out of this, then 48 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: you went for another super Bowl. Well, ab is not 49 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: going to be around to help you here, but he 50 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: is taking people down with him. Have more on this 51 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: story coming up here in a little bit poll question, 52 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: play of the day, stat of the day all to 53 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: that forthcoming. Who's doing pull question duties today? It's wheel 54 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: a pull question, Dan, you're gonna pick after three days 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: of auditioning, who will do the poll question day? No 56 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: one has done it as of this job. Okay, I 57 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: never thought that I would miss mclovin, But I miss 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: mcloven already because he always handled the responsibilities. Seaton, according 59 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: to sources close to me, tanked the responsibilities yesterday that 60 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: he purposely did not do a good job with the 61 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: poll question, and you know who backed this up, Seaton. 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I have been the source on that story. He was. 63 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: I say, did you tank? He goes, I might have tanked. 64 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: I might have tanked, So I don't have to do 65 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the poll club. I just want to know which was worse, 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: if I tanked or if that was the best I 67 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: could do. I said, I hope you're tanking. Yes, Polly, 68 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, if Fritzie takes over the poll question, his 69 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: title can now be producer, not booker, because he's not 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: limited to just booking guests. That would be producer Todd 71 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: fritz possibly executive producer. Something to consider, Okay, I don't 72 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: know if it jumps all the way up to the the 73 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: producer body reading the poll question results. I'll give you, 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: I'll give you the title or something. No, no, I'll 75 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: give I'll give you the title of producer. That's a 76 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: big ball step for us. Yes, it is twenty years 77 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: in the making, okay, But when we first started out, 78 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: what was that fourteen years ago? Everybody wanted to have 79 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: business cards made up. I go, who are you handing 80 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: the business cards too? Because you get that big stack 81 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: of business cards. I still have mine from ESPN. They 82 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: they gave me business cards. I probably have two hundred 83 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: out of two hundred and twenty five. Yes, Polly, when 84 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: we first took over here, our boss was nice enough 85 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: to buy us all business cards. He sent this box over. 86 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: It had one thousand business cards. I would bet I 87 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: have nine hundred ninety two left. Yeah, and Todd goes, well, 88 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to be known as an executive producer. And 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: then I said, well, okay, maybe not executive producer, but 90 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, producer and not in job function even just 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: I guess in seniority. Just accept throw me an old bone, 92 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: not exactly what I even. I am contributing daily to 93 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: the show. Yes soon. I'll never forget sitting in that 94 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: office in Chicago and at the time, our old, old, 95 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: old old boss. Yeah like original, yeah he was back 96 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: in the day. Yeah. He looked at me and he's 97 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: writing on this white board and he goes, you, kid, 98 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: what do you want your title to be? And I 99 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: said producer. He was like, boom, all right, you're a producer. 100 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: Ban He goes to Paul, Yeah, whoa, what do you 101 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: want your producer? Paul goes executive producer. Bang, you got it. 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, crap, you always go last, and 103 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: then Todd goes after Paul Paul's Todd goes up. Yeah, 104 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: I'll be an executive producer too.

Aaron Rodgers, 124 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: jabs back I mentioned Antonio Brown issues his statement the 125 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl has a backup plan now in case it 126 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: can't happen in Los Angeles, Dallas, Jerry Jones coming to 127 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: the rescue. Have that story for you. Zion not good 128 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna get better anytime soon. Here Kyrie 129 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: was back for a game and he was awesome. We'll 130 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: talk about that. Dirk Naviski has his jersey retired. The 131 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: one team for one player doesn't happen very often. And 132 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: if you start to look down on the road, how 133 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: many of these players any team, any sport are going 134 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: to be with one team. You can't say that about 135 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. Tom Brady changed teams, you know. 136 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: Lebron has changed teams with Steph Curry changed teams later 137 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: in his career. That's why it was so interesting to 138 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: watch last night Dirk Navitsky with the Dallas Mavericks. And 139 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: can you say that Luca is going to be with 140 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks' entire career. It's a little different with 141 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: the ownership there with Mark Cuban, because it's almost like 142 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: it's a friendship partnership more than it is a business 143 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: relationship with some of his players. But watching Dirk last night, 144 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: and there's no better shooting big man. I know, Carl 145 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns thinks that he's the greatest shooting big man 146 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: of all time. How about you do it for another 147 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: decade and maybe throw in a meaningful game there with 148 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: your shooting there in Minnesota. But Dirk Nevitsky changed the 149 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: NBA big man shooting and a seven footer on the perimeter. 150 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: We've had bigger you know, had players. You know, Larry 151 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Bird was six nine, like Dirt was seven feet and 152 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: you just kept thinking, why is he on the perimeter, Well, 153 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: that's what he does best. In a different era, Dirk's 154 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: down on the blocks. You know, seven footer, you gotta 155 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: be down on the blocks. Dirk went out and he 156 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: his obsession with being a great shooter. He and Steve 157 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: Nash had an obsession with being great shooters. But Dirt, 158 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: I think to another level and it certainly showed, you 159 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: know that that kind of that one legged shot, that 160 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: was something that changed the NBA as well. Yeahpo. I 161 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: always like watching certain athletes like Dirk Navitski. They always seem, 162 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: I guess, unsatisfied on the court. They're always kind of 163 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: angry and mad and not mad like like losing their cool, 164 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: but like just they were never happy with their play. 165 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: They're never celebrating. Remember like Paul O'Neill years ago the 166 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: New York Yankees, he seemed to be perpetually upset. They 167 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: just won the World Series. They're up like nine one 168 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: against the Mariners on a Tuesday's like god, dang it, 169 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, like that's Dirk always seemed like kind of intense. 170 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Pauli or Fritzie. What's the phole question today? Okay? A 171 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: couple of pole thoughts that I had I just sent 172 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: you guys a little while ago include, do you believe 173 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Antonio brown side of the story? Yes or no? Well, 174 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: I need to hear the whole story. Do I believe 175 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: parts of it? Absolutely? Do I think that Bruce arians 176 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: knew about his ankle? Yes? And Bruce said that he didn't, 177 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: He wasn't aware of it. You know that's that's a 178 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: coach that is probably fed up with Antonio Brown. But 179 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: you gotta be honest, though, gotta be honest. Abe was 180 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: listed as questionable with the ankle injury and he didn't 181 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: you know, ab said that he didn't know about pain 182 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: shots that he was gonna get. He's been around the 183 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: NFL for a decade. I don't know if they held 184 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: him down and they shot him up with tordall, but 185 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: he claims that he didn't know about this or these 186 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: are dangerous drugs forced upon him. He had ten catches. 187 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: Last week, he had fifteen targets. So like that part, No, 188 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Do I think that Bruce Arians 189 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: knew about his ankle, Yes, I do, and I think 190 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: Bruce needs to clarify that. But the other stuff and 191 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: how Antonio Brown went about this, and you quit on 192 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: your team, you may be upset at your coach. You 193 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: can't quit on your team. You quit on Tom Brady, 194 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: not Bruce Arians. You quit on Tom Brady. Brady helped 195 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: you get a bonus a quarter of a million dollars 196 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: last year. In the final two minutes, he made sure 197 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: he got three more receptions so he could get that bonus. 198 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: Do I think that the Buccaneers didn't want Antonio Brown 199 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: to get a million dollar bonus? No? I don't think 200 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: so arians wanted him in the game. He wanted him 201 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: because it was a surprisingly close gap. Yeah see, And 202 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: now Antonio Brown is making even probably the biggest mistake 203 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: of all that. Not only did he quit on Tom Brady, 204 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: now he's publicly going after Alex Guerrero for ripping him off. 205 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: That is going to be a huge no no a 206 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: TV twelve. And Guerrero is Tom's personal trainer and apparently 207 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown paid him one hundred thousand dollars to help 208 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: him stay in shape. Now Antonio Brown is airing out 209 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero, saying he took his one hundred thousand dollars 210 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,479 Speaker 1: and he wants his money back. This is all unfolding 211 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: on Twitter this morning with Antonio Brown. He even put 212 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: it in in one of his tweets, his bank account 213 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: and the routing number, like you now, to me, he 214 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: does need help. I sees things like that. You know, 215 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: the way he left the field. He quit on Tom Brady, 216 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: That's the one guy who kept him there. Tom went 217 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: to bad for him in New England, went to bad 218 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: for him in Tampa Bay. But everybody got what they 219 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: deserved here. You can't sit there and go well, you know, 220 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: he trashed the Steelers, he trashed the Raiders, he trashed 221 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: the ownership of the Patriots. He won't do that in Tampa. Right, 222 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: what else do you have, Todd? We've got Even if 223 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: a player, maybe a so called jerk, should you keep 224 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: him from winning an on field award? Yes? You need 225 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: to take a breath. I did I have a lozenge 226 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: in my mouth? They got like a vapo action thing happening, 227 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: a little menthol that's probably what you heard there. But 228 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: but why do you have because I felt a little 229 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: cough coming on, so while I was sharing the second 230 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: of three, I know, like the movie Backdraft, the vapor action? 231 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: Is that serious? Stuff like that? I know? But you 232 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: can't be the official poll question. If you have a 233 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: laws in you have ice water while you have a 234 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: lows in your mouth, that's that's really strong stuff, that 235 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: really powerful to your throat. Thank you toy. Yeah, see, 236 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: you can't be the guy who tanks after the guy 237 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: who tanks. I see what you're trying to do here. Anyway, 238 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: you want to hear my third pole? Really? Yeah? Come on, 239 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: lozenge boy? Would you have brought back Kyrie Irvick just 240 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: for road games, yes or no? Yeah, hell yeah, I 241 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: don't care anymore if you like any of those. Sure, uh, 242 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody's gonna know Antonio Brown's side 243 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: of the story. How about we uh, how about we 244 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: take a break. Let me uh, let me see if 245 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: we can come up with a better pole question. I mean, no, no, 246 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: it's not you're you're you're for three. You're not responsible. 247 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: You're just the mouthpiece for the poll question. That's a 248 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: valid point. But I do want to I'd like to 249 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: contribute suggestions to the folk question. But why now see 250 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: and yours in say that now I've been Friday in 251 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: the last second, wild Cherry Vapo act.

Phone call is always welcome. 276 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three DP Show. Titans have had an 277 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: up and down season. They started out eight and two, 278 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: but injuries to Derrick, Henry, AJ Brown, Julio Joe slowed 279 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: down that momentum and they weren't the same team. They 280 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: aren't the same team without Henry. Ryan Tannehill struggled without 281 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: his top receivers. But the Titans have won four of 282 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: their last five and they're the number one seed right 283 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: now in the AFC. Tennessee is getting Derrick Henry back. 284 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: He won't be ready to go right away. He was 285 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: at practice yesterday, But Tennessee is quietly secured that AFC 286 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: number one seed, and they can do that with a 287 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: win Sunday against the Texans. So that would give Derrick 288 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: Henry three weeks to practice and heal before the team's 289 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: first playoff game. Titans got a lot of talent. They're 290 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: sneaky good, and they provide a weapon that nobody else 291 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: really has in the NFL. Now you can say the 292 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: Colts do with Jonathan Taylor. Derrick Henry is different. You know, 293 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: that's just a battering ramp. You know, Jonathan Taylor is 294 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: one of the faster running backs in the league. Derrick 295 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: Henry is just that guy who keeps pounding and pounding 296 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: and hounding, and then all of a sudden, you get 297 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: to the second half, fourth quarter, and then he breaks one. 298 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: But the Titans can be a real contender in the AFC. 299 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: They should be considered a real contender. If Derrick Henry 300 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: is able to come back, you have those receivers, then 301 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: that's the matchup that There's a couple of different matchups 302 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: when you think about it. You know, the Kansa City 303 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs are difficult matchup. This is when they were struggling 304 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: and people thought, well, if they get into the playoffs, 305 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: you don't want to face kans City. And I kept 306 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: saying Kansas City is still the best team and the 307 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: best quarterback, but they allowed teams to hang around. That's 308 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: my problem with Kansas City then, or let those teams 309 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 1: take leads. It's they don't put enough separation between you 310 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: and them, and that makes me nervous with them. You know, 311 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: I have them going to the super Bowl against Green Bay. 312 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: Still feel that feel strongly about that. But those matchups 313 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: and all takes is one game that's you know, we 314 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: see this in March Madness, where you go, how did 315 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: that team beat that team? Well, they're a matchup nightmare. 316 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you know their style and that's what happens in 317 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs as well, where you'll have a team 318 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: where you go, they're really a better team than the 319 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: team they're facing, even though they're a lower seed. It's 320 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: because maybe they're just kind of getting their momentum, getting 321 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: healthy players back where you play them when you play them, 322 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: what's the weather like when you play so you factor 323 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: in a lot of different things. And that's what Tennessee 324 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: was my dark course. If I didn't take Kansas City, 325 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: I was taking Tennessee to go to the Super Bowl. 326 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: I felt that strongly about them. But green Bay, I 327 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: look at everybody else in the NFC, everybody else has 328 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: more flaws than Green Bay does. And green Bay getting 329 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: two of their better defensive players back, you know, one 330 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: of their better offensive linemen, maybe their best in David Baktiari. 331 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, that's a team that ha momentum. And it 332 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: feels like Aaron Rodgers is on this FU tour like 333 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: he just wants to let everybody know, Hey, I'm still 334 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: the man. I'm going to be the MVP. You may 335 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: not like me, whatever you think of me, I'm still 336 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: going out there and playing the story that we've been covering. 337 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: And it had to do with one of the voters, 338 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: Hub Arkish. He owns Pro Football Weekly. Now I think 339 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: his family owns it. But he's a long, long time 340 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: Chicago sportswriter and he is a voter for the MVP, 341 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: and he came out earlier this week. He was on 342 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: the Score in Chicago and said that he's not voting 343 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers because he's the biggest jerk in the league. 344 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: This is how it sounded. I don't think you can 345 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: be the biggest jerk in the league and punish your team, 346 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: in your organization and your fan base the way he 347 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: did and be the most valuable player. Has he been 348 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: the most valuable on the field. Yeah, you could make 349 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: that argument, but I don't think he is clearly that 350 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: much more valuable than Jonathan Taylor or Cooper Cup or 351 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: maybe even Tom Brady. And so from where I sit, 352 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: the rest of it is why he's not going to 353 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: be my choice. Do I think he's gonna win it? Probably? 354 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: You know that a lot of the voters don't. Don't 355 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: approach it the same way that I do. Others do 356 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: who I've spoken to. But one of the ways we 357 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: get to keep being voters is we're not allowed to 358 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: say who we are voting for until after the award 359 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: has been announced. I'm probably pushing the envelope by saying 360 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: who I'm not voting for. But we're not really supposed 361 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: to reveal our votes. Yeah, you're not supposed to. But 362 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: this is what happens. You'll have people who get on 363 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: local radio stations and they get loose. This is Home Crown, 364 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: this is your audience, this is Chicago, this is Bears 365 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: and you know a famous radio station, this Score, and 366 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: you're just talking to your buddies and you get loose 367 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, and then all of a sudden, the 368 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: story becomes more than just hey you said this on 369 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: a Chicago radio station. Man, it goes viral, as we 370 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: like to say. Here is Aaron Rodgers reacting to what 371 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: hub Arkish said about him. I think he's a bomb. 372 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I think he's an absolute bumb You don't know me. 373 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who he is. No one knew who 374 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: he was probably until yesterday's comments. But I mean, and 375 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: I listened to the comments, but to say he has 376 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: mine made up in the summertime, in the off season, 377 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: that you know, I had zero chance. I'm an inter 378 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: VP and my opinion should exclude you know, future future votes. 379 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: You know, his problem isn't with me being a bad guy. 380 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: Or the biggest jerk in the league because you don't 381 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: know me. You don't know, he doesn't know anything about me. 382 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I've never met him. I'm there at lunch 383 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: with him. I've never had an interview with him. His 384 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: problem is I'm not baxtated, you know. So if he 385 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: wants to go on a crusade and a lude and 386 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: come up with an extra letter to put on the 387 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: award just for this season and make it the most 388 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: valuable vaccinated player, then he should do that. But he's 389 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: a bum, and I'm not going to waste any time 390 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: worrying about that stuff. He doesn't no idea who I am. 391 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: He's never never talked to me in his life. But 392 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that those sentiments. It's surprising that he would 393 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: even say that, to be honest, but I knew this 394 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: was possible. We'll talk about on MAC a few weeks ago. 395 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: But crazy. I wish that Aaron Rodgers had just stopped 396 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: and say he's a bum, or just say who I 397 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: don't know who this is, but that's not Aaron Rodgers. Well, 398 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: hub Arkish is walking back his comments. He had this 399 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: to say about Aaron Rodgers. I made a big mistake 400 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: last night, and it really doesn't really have much to 401 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: do with Aaron Rodgers, you know, being one of the 402 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: fifty selectors and the ape Poles, it's a real honor 403 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: and it's a privilege. And the thing that I feel 404 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: really awful about is that most of the other forty 405 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: nine presenters are acquaintances and a lot of our friends, 406 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: and I've now you put them in an unfortunate position 407 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: where they have to be asked about it. They may 408 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: have to choose to talk about it or defend it, 409 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: and that's just wrong. And I feel awful about it, 410 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: and I really, you know, wish it hadn't happened. Beyond that, 411 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: the only thing I can do going forward is now 412 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: respect what I failed to respect last night and just 413 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: not talk about it anymore and until after, you know, 414 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the awards have been given. He's not apologizing for how 415 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: he feels about Aaron Rodgers. He's apologizing because he went 416 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: against what is supposed to be protocol when you vote 417 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: on the Heisman Trophy. People said to me, they've said 418 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: to everybody, all the voters, don't don't tell people who 419 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: you're voting for. You're supposed to wait until after and 420 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: most voters don't have a radio show. But I do 421 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: argue that it's content to talk about this. And look, 422 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: I value the opportunity to vote on the Heisman. I 423 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: valued voting on NBA awards every year. But I was 424 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: also told that you're not supposed to do this. Therefore, 425 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: I abide by that. I wanted to talk about who 426 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: I was going to vote for for the Heisman. I 427 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: did talk about certain candidates, but they said, let's wait 428 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: until after the voting and I could be vague and 429 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: still accomplish what I want to accomplish there. Now, that's 430 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: not there's nine hundred voters for the Heisman. This is 431 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: fifty guys voting for the MVP, and most people I 432 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: didn't know all these people who are voting for the MVP. 433 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: PAULI printed it out and I go, wow, that guy's 434 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: a voter. That guy's a voter. It happens where you 435 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: have a bias. It's natural, you know, Kurt Warner got 436 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. John Smoltz got into the 437 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Likability helped a whole lot there. Michael 438 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: Irvin had to wait a year to had to wait 439 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: I think two year, two years Kurt Schilling is still 440 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: waiting the dislikeability does factor in? Does Hub Arkish respect 441 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers as a football player on the field? Yes? 442 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: Did he factor in something that maybe you shouldn't be 443 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: factoring in? Yeah, But most people don't have They don't 444 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: use a platform to tell you they're bias. And this 445 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: is a guy who has his own business, Pro Football Weekly. 446 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: He's not getting fired. Do I think his vote is 447 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: in jeopardy? Probably so, because you don't want to have 448 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: somebody go into a season already saying I won't vote 449 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: for that guy. And Rogers is the biggest jerk in 450 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: the NFL. He may feel that way, but when you 451 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: say it publicly, I think as an organization you got 452 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 1: to take role call here and say, guys, what are 453 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: you doing? You can have an opinion about a player, 454 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: but you don't if you come out and say it 455 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: that way, then it feels like are you truly voting 456 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: for the right people for the right reasons? And that 457 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: is it's about football. Going into the Pro Football Hall 458 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: of Fame, you're not supposed to factor in what you 459 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: do off the field. I don't. It's almost impossible to 460 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: do that now because we do know more about these 461 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: athletes off the field. Growing up, I didn't know about 462 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: the big red machine off the field. I didn't know 463 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: about Pete Rose or Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan off the field. 464 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: If there was anything to know or football players, we 465 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: didn't hear anything. I remember when Jim Boughton, he wrote 466 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: the Bookball four came out and at the time, it 467 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, he's pulled back the curtain. 468 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: He's telling me all the things that happened on road 469 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: trips and North Dallas forty. When Pete Gent wrote that, 470 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, we didn't know any 471 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: of that. Now we know everything. Hell, I know Antonio 472 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: Brown's routing number for his bank account. It's just I 473 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: think when you vote every year, it felt like I 474 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: was voting for Michael Jordan and I got criticized because 475 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: Barkley won the MVP. One year Carl Malone won the MVP, 476 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: and my thought was the most valuable player in the 477 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: league is going to be the guy who wins the championship. 478 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: And I remember being taken to task in Salt Lake 479 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: and Phoenix by writers because I was not necessarily voting 480 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: on what happened during the regular season. I was voting 481 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: on the totality of that player the entire year, including 482 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: the playoffs, because I mean, it all comes down to championships. 483 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: And maybe I wasn't fair to Barkley or Malone, but 484 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: if you said who's the most valuable player in the NBA, 485 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: I voted for Jordan, even though Barkley and Malone had 486 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: better years, I guess I still voted for Jordan. Was 487 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: I being fair to the process. Maybe not, But in 488 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: my mind, if you said value, there's nobody more valuable 489 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: than Michael Jordan. And I remember talking to David Stern, 490 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: the late commissioner, and I brought it up to him 491 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: and he said, you can have your own rationale like 492 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: that's europe hinion, and we're open to that. He said, 493 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: for you to have votes, then we have to trust 494 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: you with your knowledge on basketball. And I always appreciated 495 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: that because if the commissioner didn't like what I was 496 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: doing or saying, he would tell me. But I did 497 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: tell him. You know that I voted for Jordan those 498 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, six times. I just kept going, he's the 499 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: most He's going to win a championship, and then even 500 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: using that as motivation, And I think Rogers is doing 501 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: that as well. And I go back to what Carson 502 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: Palmer said last week. Then Aaron wants to play, and 503 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: he would want to play against Detroit because he wants 504 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: to put up a couple of more touchdown passes, get 505 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: a win, best record in football, and you have to 506 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: give him the MVP, no matter what your thoughts are 507 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: on him getting vaccinated or immunized or deceiving or lying 508 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. And it felt like the media 509 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, he lied to us. Okay, yeah, 510 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: but you know what he said, I'm immunized. The reporters 511 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: could have said, could you explain what that mean? Nobody? 512 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: Nobody did that. He might have deceived us, but he 513 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: did he deceive his team. They knew exactly what was 514 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: going on. The medical staff knew Aaron Rodgers wasn't vaccinated. 515 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: Now did he flaunt those rules inside the facility? Probably so, 516 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: But that's on the Packers like, I can't go, boy, 517 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: he lied to us. Okay, so we did. But I'm 518 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: watching what he's doing on the field and he's going 519 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: to be the MVP this year. But you know, Hubarcish 520 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: open apology for his Aaron Rodgers comments are really not 521 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: walking back how he feels about Aaron Rodgers. He when 522 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: you disrespect the process, that's the problem here, and and 523 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: those are his words. He made a mistake in really 524 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: letting you behind the curtainer and his opportunity to vote 525 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: in future awards categories probably in jeopardy right now. Yeah, point, Dan, 526 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I think you're right on a 527 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: lot of those points. But as a Chicago and I 528 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: think Hub missed out huge opportunity to cement himself as 529 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: a Chicago Bear homer legend forever. He should have got 530 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: on the air today on the score and said, I 531 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: stand by what I said, Jerk for life, eighty five 532 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: Bears for life. I'm out with like a Dan Hampton 533 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: jersey on bear dignity A dignity right, I was right? 534 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: Boom yea if if he would have said, hey, you 535 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: guys heard Rogers told you jerk? Now, does Hub Arcis 536 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: come back and say, what do you say to Aaron 537 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers calling you a bum? That guy doesn't even know me. 538 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: We've never had lunch together. He shouldn't say that. He 539 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: doesn't even know anything about me. And you know, Rogers 540 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: is not going to let this go like on on 541 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: this weekend when they're in the game, he'll be out 542 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: the line bunineteen ju u j Jack ninteen Jack cut 543 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: on it biased biased reporter.

What 598 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 1: do we have? Todd? We have yet to decide exactly 599 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: which pole question we want to use, but we have 600 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: a couple of new ones as well. Yes, if you 601 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: were the Nets, would you consider tanking for lower seats, 602 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: so Kyrie can play more games in the playoffs. Yeah, 603 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: I could see that if that if he's not going 604 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: to be able to play home games, But I don't 605 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: know what. You know, you start talking about tanking, what's 606 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: that mean? They've been playing Durant and Harden. I think 607 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: kd is second in minutes in the NBA coming off Achilles. 608 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: I think you play and however, you know, if you 609 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: end up with one of the top four seeds, okay, 610 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: so you don't have Kyrie for as many road games 611 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 1: as you'd like. But I think when you start going 612 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: how do we tank? Does that mean you don't play 613 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: Kadi and James Harden is often with home games. I'm 614 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: not sure about that. What else do you have? And 615 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: another one was who has been more influential to the 616 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: game of basketball Dirk who was one of the first 617 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: seven footiest to play on the perimeter, opening the doors 618 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: for international players. Steph Curry, Alan Iverson. I would say 619 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: Steph Curry by his style of play. I think Iverson 620 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: doesn't get as much credit as he deserves because there 621 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: was there was more to Iverson than just the way 622 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: he played the the you know, sort of the style 623 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: that the aura of him. But Steph as far as basketball, absolutely, 624 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: I think he's been more influential than just about I mean, 625 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: you know, Jordan is I got to put him over 626 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: to the side because Jordan, you know, with what he's 627 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: done with marketing, with business, you know, winning everything about him. 628 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: But it was just as much off the court as 629 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: it was on the court with Jordan. Steph on the 630 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: court I think has been more influential than Jordan has. 631 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: Because if you go to a grade school basketball game now, man, 632 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 1: I know that there was the commercial, You'll want to 633 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: be like Mike. Well, nobody could be like Mike. You 634 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: feel like you could be like Steph Curry. You can't, 635 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: but you do feel like you have that opportunity, whereas 636 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: you can't be like Mike. So I would say Steph Curry. 637 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if we've come up with a poll question. Yes, 638 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: I have a poll question. Okay, okay, which of the 639 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: following athletes plays their sport this season or next season 640 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: kind of in the new future? Okay. The interesting list 641 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: of people who are not playing Antonio Brown, Zion Williamson, 642 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving, and I'm ut including home games fully playing, 643 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons who is for some reason still not playing 644 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: his sport, and DeShawn Watson, who's for some reason not 645 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: playing his sport even though they're all eligible to play. 646 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 1: Zion's injured, otherwise it's not injury related. Antonio Brown's not 647 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: going to play again for a few months next year. 648 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: Zion I don't think plays this year. Chris Mann's going 649 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: to join us coming up top of the hour. I 650 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: want to talk to him about Zion and Kyrie and 651 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. Kyrie with home games, I think that could happen. 652 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is going to play this year. Deshaun Watson 653 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: is not going to play until the start of next season. 654 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: Would I would probably go. I don't think Zion's going 655 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: to play, Antonio Brown's not, Ben Simmons probably as we 656 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: get closer to the trade deadline. So it's Kyrie home 657 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: games and Ben Simmons. I'm going to lean towards Kyrie. 658 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: I think Kyrie being back with his teammates and then 659 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: you sort of get that momentum that you know, I 660 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: want to join you guys, that yes we do have 661 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 1: something special here, Yes we can win a championship here. 662 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: I could see Kyrie just saying Hey, you know what, 663 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in and get vaccinated. Yeah, Pauling. When 664 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,959 Speaker 1: you look at this list, it's a truckload of young 665 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: big stars not playing their sports and not necessarily injuries 666 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: for different reasons. But Ben Stimmons, you know, he's one 667 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: of those household name guys. Deshaun Watson with the young quarterback, Yeah, 668 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: and for various reasons. They're just scratches. Well, he's going 669 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: to get a chance. It's just it comes down to 670 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: settling those civil suits. Raymond in New York, Ray what's 671 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 1: on your mind today? What time my mind is Aaron 672 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: Rodgers your boys are. I'm glad he's fighting back a 673 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: little bit. He's always been like the most well thought 674 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: out reason com man. He's been on your show many 675 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: times a couple of times, and he's been a great guest. 676 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: Plus he did Jeopardy like you did, um, and he's 677 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 1: a lot like you actually, And he's I don't want 678 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: to call you arrogant, but I'm talking to Aaron Rodgers. 679 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: He's arrogant, but he wears it well because he's almost 680 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: always right and I don't. And you said something earlier 681 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: that kind of piqued my curiosity but before I get 682 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: to that, just real quick. Sorry. Uh, he didn't deceive 683 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: the media with the vaccination thing, I don't think, just 684 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: my pumble opinion. He just he've outfoxed them, um, you know, 685 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, I may mean guys, but 686 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't judge anyone that's not like you know. But 687 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: then he got kind of caught with it. But he 688 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: got suspended, he got fine, and he's been the best 689 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: player and he's done enough future and you did it 690 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: after you left the ESPN clue. Um. But I'm not 691 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: even a Packers fan or whatever written, but I do 692 00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers line. I like that he fuck who 693 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: says it. Russell Wilson doesn't say these things, Tom Brady, 694 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: not even not of the other quarterbacks going on going 695 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: on another showing thing. That guy's a not whatever. I 696 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: don't care. And he says, I know what I'm doing. 697 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: He's incredibly confident, wonderful person and he's always defending himself. 698 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: And so I like to get their thoughts on it. 699 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you, Raymond. Raymond was riffing there. Yeah, 700 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: point he should mix in a calm or a period. 701 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: He should take a breath, Fritie every six out for 702 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: a week. We haven't fill in. Yes, Fritzie out foxing. 703 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: You could outfox someone by throwing long on thirty one. 704 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're outfoxing throwing a pandemic, is 705 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 1: that's the best time too someone? You know what he 706 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: wasn't forthcoming, That's what it was. Um you know it 707 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: was semantics there. He was deceptive in what he was saying. 708 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: He was trying to out smart people. Did the packers know? Yes, 709 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: if the packers were okay with it, and you know, 710 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: if he lied to the media or deceived the media, 711 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: all right, we'll live.
