00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: you and the wife do anything for Valentine's today?

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: Yesterday?

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: Thursday? What's the deal? Buddy? Did you forget? Were you buying?

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Were you one of the people I saw at the

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: grocery store buying flowers at like six am today or what?

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: No, But it was funny when I was actually purchasing

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: a card a handful of days ago, somebody walked past me.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: A guy walked past me. He was just like, oh

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day. Yeah, he like stops and he goes it

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: starts like So I saved that guy just because he

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: saw what I was doing. But no, had everything planned out.

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: But you know, when you've got two key you just

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: kind of time it out a little bit differently. We

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: you know, just had some takeout that I went and

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: picked up. I need to ask everybody, and I do

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 3: mean everybody in Nashville get off the roads. Like it

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: was so ridiculously packed everywhere I tried to go. It

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: took me ten minutes to get out of the restaurant

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 3: parking lot because people were coming in both directions, in

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: both lanes. Like it was the most preposterous thing I've

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: ever seence I'm just trying to get home, like I'm not.

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand why, all of a sudden,

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: this is worse than like the nurber Gring or something

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: like that. It's absolutely just nuts. But yeah, we had

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: a fine time. And you know you understand this too,

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: because we're sitting in this time slot about to talk

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: about sports for the next three hours. You know, our

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: lives are a little bit different because of you know,

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: what we have chosen to do for part of our living.

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Zero doubt. It's funny. My wife has a like pseudo

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: work training on Friday, so it worked out well where

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: I was working tonight. She had her thing last night,

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: so we did. We did go out for a nice

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: little dinner on Thursday. But yeah, yeah, it's Valentine's today,

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: and like you said, and I think I speak for

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: not only you, but everybody here at Fox Sports Radio.

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: We actually couldn't do what we do if it wasn't

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: for friends and family that understand that we just got

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: crazy schedules. You and I we've worked a lot of

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Christmas Days and Christmas Eves and New Year's Eves and

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: New Year's Days. So we're grateful to everybody. And yeah,

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: another Valentine's in the you know, another Valentine's together, my man,

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: So let's get to it. It is a busy weekend,

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: first weekend without football. But here's the good news. NBA

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend is here to save the day. The

53
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Saturday festivities happened at the Intuit Dome on Saturday evening

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: on the East Coast Saturday afternoon here in Los Angeles.

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: And Mary play sound of what we saw Saturday at

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: the end to It Dome. No No, Damian Lillard wins

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: the three point contest, which was actually sort of cool

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: coming off Achilles injury. The dunk contest. Listen. I'm a

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: college basketball guy. I remember Keisha Johnson at San Diego

60
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: State Arizona. I don't know that I want him headlining

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: All Star Saturday. Though j Bart so All Star Saturday happens,

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: it was actually early this year, and in defense of

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: Adam Silver in the NBA, because we're gonna crush them

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: for the better part of the next three hours. I

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: think with the way the schedule broke NBC having the Olympics,

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: that's why it was early. But I think a lot

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: of people missed All Star Saturday. And when I say missed,

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't mean like actively missed, like they were not

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: aware that it was so early. It almost felt like

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: the NBA was trying to hide it. And I hate

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: to say it, but another black guy for this league.

72
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: That just seems to that they can't stop taking black

73
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: guys because everything is under the microscope right now. None

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: of it is good for the league, and we got

75
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: to talk about a lot of it over these next

76
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: three hours.

77
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: Chase So I didn't see a second of it, and

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: it's because I didn't know it had moved. I was

79
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: planning on watching All Star Saturday night like I usually

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: do every year. I mean, I enjoyed the dunk contest,

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: even if it ends up being us dunking on the

82
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: dunking Contest more than it is the actual contest. But

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: I've always been a sucker for All Star Saturday Night,

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: and even though it was Valentine's, I was gonna at

85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: least DVR it and watch parts of it in advance

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: of the show and all this, and I did not

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: know it had changed until our text exchanged a few

88
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: hours ago. You mentioned the Olympics and how the NBA

89
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: had moved it, and I said, oh, it's already happened,

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: And then I went and found the highlights on some websites,

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: so they You did a great job hiding it from me, man,

92
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: like I had absolutely no clue. And maybe, look, man,

93
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: you can call me out for that. I'm on sportstock

94
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: radio as a sports stock radio host. I probably should

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: have known. But honestly, you took your really the thing

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: that people care about. More like most people don't care

97
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: about the game. They would good like talk about so

98
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: many other things happening. Yeah, we'll definitely about that. Yeah, yeah,

99
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: that's right, But but you just put it in the afternoon.

100
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: I had no idea, and there were other things going on,

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: especially on Valentine's but from a sporting capacity, there's a

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: lot of college hoops and some big time games today.

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: You had all sorts of things going on, and so

104
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: the NBA just didn't make the list. And again that

105
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: with all the changes and with seventeen different networks carrying it,

106
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure where it is, where to find it,

107
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 3: and like, I'm not going out of my way to

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: watch this stuff right now because this league is not

109
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: earning my it's not earning my attention because the players

110
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: have told me they don't care.

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: So it's one hundred percent accurate. And I'll say this so,

112
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: so first of all, I only knew. I only noticed

113
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: it because, like you said, you know, I was just

114
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: kind of on the couch watching college basketball and I

115
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: just kind of was flipping and I actually it was

116
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: actually interesting. The only reason I turned on NBC was

117
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: because I thought there was something Olympic related on and

118
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: you know, Disager's gonna give us the hockey scores later,

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: but I know team USA played in the Olympics today,

120
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: men's hockey, et cetera. So I just kind of flip

121
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: a chat and I was like, oh, there's Damian Lillard

122
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: and it was it was on NBC. It clearly wasn't

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: a replay, and I sat, there's this has to be

124
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: what I think it is, which is All Star All

125
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Star Saturday, and so yeah, I don't know how many.

126
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not being facetious when I say this. Hundreds

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: of thousands, millions of people had no idea. I'll tell

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: you this. And I'm not throwing anybody under the bus

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: because I think she talked about on the show, but

130
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: Nazi Bilanios is as big of an NBA fan as

131
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: I know Clippers die Hard. And she was telling me, Hey,

132
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: you know, I was prepping for my show, and I

133
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: had no idea that you know that it started as

134
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: early as it did in all that and so I

135
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: think to me, Jmart it is a bigger picture metaphor

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: for what is going on in the NBA right now.

137
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this, I feel like this weekend

138
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 2: is it's supposed to be a celebration of the NBA.

139
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: I really feel like this weekend is a moratorium on

140
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: the state of the NBA. We got three hours to

141
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: break it all down, but tanking is again at the forefront.

142
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: You know the All Star game. Listen, I'll just say this.

143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: I think, let me put it this way, I think tomorrow,

144
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: any last defender of Adam Silver because I don't want

145
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 2: to say Adam Silver's on Like people have been pretty

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: outspoken that they think he's not a very good commissioner.

147
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the schedule for tomorrow Jason five Eastern

148
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: World versus The Stars, two fifty five Eastern TBD versus

149
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: The Stripes, three twenty or five point fifty five TBD

150
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: versus the Stripes six twenty five TBD versus Stripes. And

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: then at seven ten Eastern, four ten Pacific, it's TBD

152
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: versus TBD. And so what we're gonna see tomorrow is

153
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: the same thing we saw last year is the same

154
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: thing we see with this mid season tournament. That is,

155
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: in a tournament, we're not gonna have a game. It's

156
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: gonna be confusing, nobody's gonna follow, the players aren't going

157
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: to be invested, And like I said, I just think

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: this entire weekend is a moratorium for where the NBA

159
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: is a product that it just seems like in my life,

160
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: and you know, I guess technically maybe not my life,

161
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: because I did live. You know, I was born kind

162
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: of during the rise of Bird versus Magic, So the

163
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: you know, my conscious life is a sports fan. The

164
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: last thirty five years I don't think the NBA across

165
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: the board has been in a worse place than it

166
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: is right now. And I think this weekend is a

167
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: moratorium on that highlighted or low lighted depending on how

168
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: you look at it, by an All Star Saturday that

169
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: nobody really knew what was happening and nobody really missed

170
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 2: once they did in fact miss it.

171
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: Folks, I need somebody to tell me what is it

172
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: gonna take for the NBA, for the front office to

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: actually get its employees to act like they care about you,

174
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 3: about me, about what they're doing for a living. And

175
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: I say this like it's everybody, and I really don't

176
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: want to throw everybody in the same bucket. There's a

177
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: lot of people playing hard, don't get me wrong, but

178
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: a lot of your marquee stars just can't be and

179
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: so I can't either. But it's I just don't It's

180
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: we got tanking again. And it's not even like right

181
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: now is the All Star break and we've got all

182
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: these teams in Adam Silver. We're gonna try to figure

183
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: this out. I don't know what you're supposed to do

184
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: other than say, if we catch you tanking, you're gone,

185
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: Like you can find them, but they make too much

186
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 3: money and they have too many endorsement deals outside of that,

187
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: so it's gonna be a drop in the bucket. If

188
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: they don't want to play, they're not gonna play. If

189
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: a team is out of it, they would rather have

190
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: a higher draft pick. So you've got to fix the lottery.

191
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: The lotteries can't be a thing anymore. Like you've got

192
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: to figure a better way through all of this. But

193
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 3: everything is about how can we make this thing like real?

194
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: How can we make the players care? How can we

195
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: make fans realize that the players care? Do you know

196
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: how many sports have this problem? One? The NBA? That's it.

197
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: That's the end of the list. Like you can go tennis, golf,

198
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: Formula one, Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NHL, NASCAR,

199
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 3: where you can go wherever you want to go with this.

200
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: The only sport that has a problem where it looks

201
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 3: like the players don't care on a regular basis is

202
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: the NBA. And so we keep gimmicking up the All

203
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: Star Game, and we come up with an nd season tournament,

204
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 3: and we paint the floors a different color, and we

205
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: make sure that all the writers that are writing about

206
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: our league say the right stuff, and look the conspiracy

207
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: theory that's out there that the reason why inside the

208
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: NBA has been backloaded so badly is because they want

209
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: to silence the negativity that was coming from that show.

210
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: And now that they're on an ESPN network that's invested

211
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: so heavily into the NBA with contracts and everything else,

212
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: they're basically just trying to shut Charles Barkley up and

213
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: shut some of these people up. I'm not saying it's

214
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: true who I am saying it makes sense though, because

215
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: there's a whole lot of negativity to be had about

216
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: this league at this point in time. And I mean,

217
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: we could start running down the list of individual perpetrators

218
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: in this role. But it's just it's so frustrating because again,

219
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: the talent is great. There are a lot of really,

220
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: really talented basketball players. But this league just has not

221
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: earned my attention this year. And I love the NBA,

222
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: and I say that year after year, and I feel

223
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: like I'm now turning into a broken record in the

224
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: opposite direction. But the NBA sucks right now as a

225
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: product because they don't want to entertain you. They're too

226
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: busy being superstars to realize that the reason anybody knows

227
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: who they are is because of what they do. And

228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: if I get the sense that you don't care really

229
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: about what you're doing, then I'm gonna find something else

230
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: to do when you're playing.

231
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's crazy because and it's not just the

232
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: All Star Game, but I think the All Star Game

233
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: again is a good metaphor for is these are things

234
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: that people could have seen coming five, six, seven, eight

235
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: years right ago, you know, and nobody wanted to hear it,

236
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: and nobody wanted to talk about it, and all people

237
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: wanted to point to was was the TV contracts. And

238
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: I remember saying even before this most recent TV contract,

239
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: which was another huge one, which is gonna make the

240
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: players rich and the owners rich and whatever, is like

241
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: everybody wanted to use the TV money as this, and

242
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: it is I guess in a way, this with this metaphor,

243
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: a band aid for the problems. But I think you

244
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: but for people don't know, and I think everybody does.

245
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: But the reason NBA, the NBA keeps getting big TV

246
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: deals is because live sports are the only thing that

247
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: you could sell ads for in linear traditional TV, right

248
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: And so that's why NBC wants a part of it

249
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: in ABC, ESPN, and it's why they're still an arms

250
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: race for all of these professional college sports whatever and so.

251
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: But these were issues that everybody saw coming six, seven,

252
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: eight years ago, and nobody wanted to acknowledge. The All

253
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: Star Game has not been good for a very long time. Again,

254
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: it used to be the best players showing up wanting

255
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: to compete East versus West. You didn't need a gimmick,

256
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: you didn't need this, You didn't need that you did.

257
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: And now it's the best players don't want to compete

258
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: in the dunk contest. You know, the guys don't even

259
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: want to try in the game itself. It's just a total, total,

260
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: total disaster. Again, I keep using the word like words

261
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: like metaphor, but it is. It's just a metaphor for

262
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: the state of the league and this year. Like I'll

263
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: be honest, like one, and I know you feel the

264
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: same way. If you know everyone thinks all we do

265
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: is criticize the NBA the show. Well, first of all,

266
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot to criticize. I used to love the NBA, yes,

267
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: and I used to love All Star Weekend because it

268
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: was the only time you saw these guys all on

269
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: one cord and it was competive. You get the point

270
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: at this point. But it's just an absolute disaster. And

271
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: I think this weekend is highlighting it because all of

272
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: the problems of the league are coming to the forefront.

273
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: And guess what when they tip off the first part

274
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: of the All Star quote unquote game, and I'm using

275
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: air quotes. I know you can't see it because I'm

276
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: on radio. It's gonna be even worse Sunday night at

277
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: five pm Eastern.

278
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: Jason, Yeah, I will listen. I'll say this about tanking.

279
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just because one of the actors popped up

280
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: on the screen from Ted Lasso, and it made me

281
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: think about this for the first time. Let's start relegating

282
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: teams that are tanking in January. Let's put relegation out

283
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: there on there. We can kick you out of the NBA.

284
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: We'll put you in a different league.

285
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what I do that I actually,

286
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, the tanking is the latest big thing and

287
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: it is something that Adam Silver did address on All

288
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Star Saturday. So why don't we come back. We will

289
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: talk about tanking. We will talk about what Adam Silver said.

290
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: And this is one one that I actually think we'll

291
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: disagree on All Star Weekend Total dud. You know it's

292
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: not a dud. Tours and Martin, Fox Sports Radio, Steve

330
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't really know what that means.

331
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: Bobby Valentine, Oh, Bobby Valentine, Denzel Valentine, Denzel Valentine's younger brother.

332
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: I gotta go with Greg de Hammer Valentine. Okay, of

333
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: course I.

334
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: Will go with Bobby Valentine because he is a resident

335
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: and of the great state of Connecticut from beautiful Fairfield,

336
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: went to Sacred Heart University. Fun fact, he has a

337
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: bar named Bobby V's. There's a couple of those in Connecticut.

338
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: Last time I was in Connecticut, this is what it's

339
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: like in Connecticut on a Monday night, was looking for

340
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: a place to watch Monday night football. Bobby V's, a

341
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: sports bar, was closed on Monday. Now, admittedly it's in Suffield, Connecticut,

342
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: near near the airport. But uh but but yeah, by

343
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: the way, when you said who's your favorite Valentine? I

344
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: thought it was like who do you love the most?

345
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: Like who do you watch? And just you're in love with?

346
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: I thought I thought that's where you were going with that.

347
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, gad, you put me on

348
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 2: the spot here.

349
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: No, no, I'll be I bet Di Saga has like

350
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: five other Valentine's. Will we forgot about? Yeah, I'll be

351
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: disappointed if he doesn't get that.

352
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll get to we'll get to some Valentine

353
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: on the spot. You know who's getting h colon there?

354
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Valentine's stocking right now? Is Adam Silver not a great

355
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: Valentine's I don't say, yeah, not a great Valentine's for

356
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: old Adam Silver. Here for the break All Star weekend

357
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: we're talking about really we were, we were just kind

358
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: of talking about the state of the NBA. It's just

359
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: just feels like there's a lot of negativity around the

360
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: league right now, and and right now it feels like

361
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: the topic djore is tanking. I will say, j Martin,

362
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 2: I have a couple takes on this, but I'll kind

363
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: of contextualize it for the audience that maybe didn't follow

364
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: this story. Last week, the Utah Jazz, remember after the

365
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: al So, they traded for Jaron Jackson, who's a very

366
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: good player. And I thought it was kind of weird

367
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: at the time because the Jazz have been tanking. You know,

368
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: they were in position again to get another really high

369
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: draft pick, and this NBA draft is supposed to be

370
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: one of the better ones that we've had in a

371
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: long time. So I said, oh, it's weird that the

372
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: Jazz would trade for, you know, an All Star caliber player.

373
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: That's strange. Now, well, last week.

374
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: You mean you mean you mean you mean the one

375
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 3: that's not playing for the rest of the season.

376
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: Well, he played last week. The Jazz were up and

377
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 2: then in the fourth quarter they pulled all their starters.

378
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: And so that is the new tanking. And I will say,

379
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: like it's progressively gotten worse. You know, listen, I don't

380
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: have a history of tanking in front of me, but

381
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: it feels like the way that I remember it was,

382
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: you'd try until about the end of March, and then

383
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: you get to April. There's about what a week or

384
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: two left in the regular season, and then the final

385
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: two or three weeks. If you know, you know, if

386
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: Jason Martin, the power forward is gonna need offseason surgery,

387
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 2: you give him the final five or six games off.

388
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: You're not playing for anything. Anyway. The Jazz were pulling

389
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: starters in the second half of games in February, and

390
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: not even late February, early February, with a full two

391
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: months left in the season. Okay, So I bring it

392
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: up because this is the latest topic to jore. Adam

393
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: Silver did address this at All Star Weekend, the tanking issue.

394
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: He gave a long winded Adam silver ish type response,

395
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: but he basically the gist of it was in the

396
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: old this is what he said. In the old days,

397
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: it was just sort of an understanding among partners in

398
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: terms of behavior. I think that we're seeing is modern analytics,

399
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: where it's so clear that the incentives are misaligned. Are

400
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: we seeing behavior that is worse this year than we've

401
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: seen in recent memory? Yes, in my view it is

402
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: which was which was, which was what led to those fines,

403
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: and not just those fines, but my statement that we're

404
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: going to be looking more closely at the totality of

405
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: all circumstances this season in terms of teams behavior and

406
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: very intentionally wanted teams to notice. And I'll just say

407
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: this to real quick Jamark before I get to you.

408
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: He basically insinuated that the entire draft process could be

409
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: in jeopardy as far as how we do the draft,

410
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: the NBA Draft lottery, and in this part actually does

411
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: make sense. He basically said, if teams are purposely manipulating results,

412
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: then the worst teams aren't necessarily in the best position

413
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: to get picks. He said, if teams are manipulating their

414
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 2: performance in order to get higher picks, even in a lottery,

415
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: then the question becomes are they really the worst performing teams?

416
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: It's not clear to me, for example, that the thirtieth

417
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: worst performing team is that much worse than the twenty

418
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: second performing team. So he went on and on, But

419
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: it sounds like the latest twist is that we may

420
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: restructure the draft, just like we've restructured All Star Weekend,

421
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: just like we've restructured the playoffs. But this is the

422
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: latest topic. Tanking is an issue worse than ever, just

423
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: like just about everything in the NBA worse than ever.

424
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: So I know you were getting ready to talk about

425
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: tanking before the breaks out. Well kind of want to

426
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: give you the floor on this one.

427
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: Well just I mean, again, this it gets back to

428
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: the same critical issue ites like do you care about

429
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: the product that you're putting out there? Do you care

430
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: about those that are spending exorbitant money to come see

431
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: that product or are paying for multiple streaming services in

432
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: order just to watch that product and all these Like

433
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: we talked about this, how many times has it happened

434
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: on a Saturday night when it's been a marquee game

435
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: in the PM slot on Saturday night for ABC and

436
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 3: the Stars aren't playing, Like that's the kind of thing.

437
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're supposed to do about it?

438
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: At this point because Adam Silver has already kind of

439
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: given up all the leverage or control that he might

440
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: have might have had by pretty much catering to the

441
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: whims of the players at every turn. So in terms

442
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: of tanking, I do think that there could be some

443
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 3: kind of a change to the way the lottery system

444
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: is done, where it's just it's a round robin deal,

445
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: or not even a round robin deal. It's just it's

446
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: gonna cycle through the league. It's not gonna be guaranteed

447
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: based on all those things. And yeah, I know then

448
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: some years the rich get richer, and that's just kind

449
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: of the way it maybe has to be. But this

450
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: system may work in so I don't know, I don't

451
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: know what you're supposed to do. You can't threaten these

452
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: players with anything that's gonna matter to them. It doesn't

453
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: feel like to me, it's.

454
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: Not really not right now, it's not really the players,

455
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: it's the teams. Well, I mean I'm talking like overall,

456
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: not just from a tank perspective.

457
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, but I mean just the effort and

458
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: all of the optics for the league right now, it's

459
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 3: a larger issue than tanking. Tanking is just another symptom

460
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: of a bigger disease.

461
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, and I'm not being facetious

462
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: when I say this, Why is tanking so bad? And

463
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: I guess I come back to one thing, and there's

464
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: I actually am not as ant like I think among

465
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: the NBA's biggest issues, I think Stars just deciding not

466
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: to play on a Saturday for a big game is

467
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: much worse.

468
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: Than I agree with that.

469
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, a pretty bad team, you know whatever. To me,

470
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: the only issue with tanking is charging the fans. Is

471
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: is asking fans to spend money in a situation where

472
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: they know you're not trying to win. Now, I will

473
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: counter that with a few things. One, most of these

474
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: teams kind of know who's tanking and who's not, so

475
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: you just don't have to show up and pay if

476
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: you don't want to. And two, by the way, like

477
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz seem to sell out every game that

478
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: I watch, and so like I whatever, I guess my

479
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: point is like this is again I just don't like

480
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: like this has been the topic that has kind of

481
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: taken center stage this week, and certainly listen, I think

482
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: playing your starters for three quarters and then pulling them

483
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: is a bad look, and maybe that's just a singular

484
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: incidence for a bigger picture issue. I just don't think

485
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: that tanking is that big of an issue because again,

486
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: it kind of has been proven, like best way to

487
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: kind of build a team is through the draft, And

488
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 2: you know, you and I joked about it last week,

489
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: like all this excitement about, oh, training for James Harden

490
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: never amounts to anything. Trading for Anthony Davis except for

491
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: one time in twenty twenty six years ago, now never

492
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: really amounts to anything, and so drafting these players really

493
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: is the best way to do it. So I don't know,

494
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm just rambling. The tanking thing to me is not

495
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: as big of an issue as it seems to be

496
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: to others. But again, maybe it's just a metaphor for

497
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: a broken league with a lot of issues right now.

498
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, it's not really as much the

499
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: tanking because I mean, that has happened in sports before,

500
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: and it's if there is an incentive to tank for

501
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: a better draft position, I think that's maybe the fix

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: is just that's not watchable entertainment. I feel like that's

503
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: the the biggest thing. It's the same thing with somebody

504
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: sitting out like a star sitting out. I'm not gonna

505
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: then tune in to watch that game, at least not.

506
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be as excited about it. If nothing

507
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: else but the idea that a team on February the

508
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 3: tenth or now we're on the fourteenth. But this has

509
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: already been talked about now for over a week. They're

510
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: already done, and there's still two months left in the season,

511
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 3: and the fans in that market, they're still gonna get

512
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: those games to watch on television. And yeah, you can

513
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: talk about them selling out and all this kind of stuff,

514
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 3: but they're not getting value for that dollar anymore. And

515
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: maybe they will be able to sit home, or maybe

516
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: they will decide to sit home. But in some cases

517
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: you have and I don't know how true this is

518
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: an NBA ran is, but if you've got season tickets,

519
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: you have to use a certain amount or you lose

520
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: that seat and all these other kinds of things. So

521
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 3: there are other considerations. I just think overall, the optics

522
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 3: of the league just present that from night to the

523
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: product is going to be very very inconsistent, and it's

524
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: going to be based on things that feel like if

525
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: you had an if you had a commissioner, if you

526
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: had someone in charge of the league that had some

527
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: kind of gravitas, some kind of actual control, somebody that

528
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: was actually a leader, you might be able to have

529
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: cut into this. The problem for Adam Silver is the

530
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: horse is already out of the barn. You can't shut

531
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 3: the stable door. Now. Like the players have the power,

532
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: like they're the ones rolling around, we are the captains

533
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: now basically going Captain Phillips on this thing. Adam Silver's

534
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: got no he's got no legs to stand on because

535
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: he's been kind of mauled by the players the entire time.

536
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: And they now have much more of the power, and

537
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: it seems like they're going to use that in terms

538
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: of making sure that their lives are as good as

539
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: they possibly can be. But I do think that they

540
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: have done a lot to kind of feel like that

541
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: they are forgetting about the fans. But I don't know

542
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: how you fix the tanking issue short of changing the

543
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: draft process. But I do agree with you it is

544
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: nowhere near the biggest problem. It's just another thing that

545
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: makes you roll your eyes that it's happening this early

546
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: with multiple teams that are now trying to position themselves

547
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: for the future.

548
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: It is an interesting situation and I yeah, it's it's

549
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: one of many issues, and again, I think they've all

550
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: been sort of heightened this weekend, and I think it

551
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: could get worse. At five pm Eastern on Sunday afternoon

552
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: when the actual whatever it's not a game because there's

553
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: four different games, but whatever, this thing that's going on

554
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: at the Intuit Dome at five pm Eastern, I think

555
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: it's going to be heightened and it ain't gonna be

556
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: pretty Fox Sports Radio er towards Jason Martin, broadcasting live

557
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

558
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: Let's just get it.

559
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: I was gonna try to think of some clever toss

560
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: about how you know the NBA may be tanking. Oh,

561
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: it's pretty yeah to say, you know, Disager never takes

562
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: the night off, and it's not just because Arnie Spaniard

563
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: has no control over your schedules. So God bless us

564
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: all real quick to Seger, so real quick. You live

565
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: in La First of all, Jamart, I haven't even brought

566
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: up this part yet.

567
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 6: No, please say this. I see where you're going, and

568
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 6: it's absolutely needs to be said out loud.

569
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know the all Star game was in LA

570
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: until about four days ago, and there is zero buzz

571
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: about it in La. Am I crazy to say that

572
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: to Sager?

573
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 3: Not in the least.

574
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 6: And people we've had on the show writers who are

575
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 6: there in the arena are talking about how empty it

576
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 6: is in the arena. Wow last night, and that Rising

577
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 6: Stars game was streaming only, so good luck trying to

578
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 6: find it anyway.

579
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh my good. This is what we're talking about. This

580
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: is what we're talking about. Is anything like I'm not

581
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: trying to sound like an old man, is anything about

582
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: the fan anymore?

583
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Like?

584
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: What are we doing? Let me put it this way.

585
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 6: I was here last night, which gives me access to

586
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 6: that particular streaming. Streaming versus a regular television channel is

587
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 6: an extra burden for.

588
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: Me, That's what I'm saying. I don't think the leagues

589
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: realize that.

590
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: I'm certain they don't care, but I don't believe some

591
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 6: of the executives actually realize that my television as a fan,

592
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 6: my television watching experience does not include putting it on

593
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 6: one channel for two and a half hours and not

594
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 6: touching the remote.

595
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: Yes, and this was a listen. I understand everybody wants

596
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: to have a partnership with the streamers. But this was

597
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: a big strategic mistake. Everyone's say, well, Thursday night football,

598
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: It's like there's one sporting event on and it's the

599
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: freaking NFL. That's not the same as I don't even

600
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: know what days the games are on Prime. And I'm

601
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: not being sarcastic, but like you know, early in the week,

602
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: a couple of streamers, yes, and there's other stuff. And

603
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: unless I don't know, I don't know what the numbers are,

604
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: you probably do diseger. I don't know. I'm just I'm

605
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: just screaming at a cloud right now.

606
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 6: Well, the NBA is still microscopic compared to NFL or Olympics,

607
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 6: and especially in the first half of a season, because

608
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 6: you know, football is still going. And speaking of streamers,

609
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: Netflix has bought Baseball's home run Derby and bought the

610
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 6: next Women's World Cup and they're not going away from

611
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 6: live sports. But Happy Valentine's anyway. And I did, by

612
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 6: the way, when you brought up the last name Valentine,

613
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 6: the first guy thought of one time Expos All star

614
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 6: Ellis Valan It is.

615
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: I knew the name.

616
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: I know the name played a little with.

617
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: The Angels, in the eighties toward the end of his

618
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 6: career and everybody's favorite college basketball official for many years.

619
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: Oh just for Tommy Valentine.

620
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 6: Ted Valentine.

621
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: Seth Davis just wrote a big feature about his retirement.

622
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 6: That win Sharp when teams would play thirty thirty five games. Remember,

623
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 6: officials get paid by the game. Ted Valentine would referee

624
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 6: seventy to eighty games.

625
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: Today they all do.

626
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: And that's actually a huge problem with college basketball.

627
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely it is and needs to be talked about more.

628
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 6: And what you you talked about regarding the NBA, you

629
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 6: mentioned the rise of the league in the nineteen eighties

630
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 6: with Magic and Bird. It needed to rise because CBS,

631
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 6: which had the NBA Finals back then. Even after Magic

632
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 6: and Bird had joined the league around nineteen eighty, still

633
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 6: over half the NBA Finals games were at eleven thirty

634
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 6: pm Eastern.

635
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: Time, really quick. So I'm not crazy in saying that

636
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: there's just no buzz in l I'm not trying to

637
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: be negative. I'm just you said it at the report. Yeah, no,

638
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: absolutely not NBA Finals games.

639
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 6: By the way, if it was a weeknight for three

640
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 6: years running, you probably had to wait till after the

641
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 6: eleven o'clock news to see the game, a finals game

642
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 6: on a weeknight, and the You're eleven o'clock sports anchor

643
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 6: would look in the camera and say, I'm gonna give

644
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 6: the score now. If you're gonna stay up to watch,

645
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 6: just tune away for a few that kind of thing.

646
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 6: And since we're apparently mister Yukon the Yukon Women's Basketball Show,

647
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 6: off record, they did win again tonight. Sure they are

648
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 6: still undefeated. It's twenty seven to zero after a win

649
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 6: at Marquette, a mere fifteen point victory.

650
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 2: By the way, you've mentioned Yukon men almost blowing a

651
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: lead that was on Peacocks, so again streaming only, they

652
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: were up seventy seven to seventy with twenty eight seconds

653
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 2: to go.

654
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: And is this the women's game we're talking about?

655
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: This men's game is okay? I don't even know what

656
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: the final score was. I know they were they had

657
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: to foul up three because Georgetown scored six straight points

658
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: to whatever.

659
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, sixth rank Yukon men seventy nine seventy five over Georgetown.

660
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: It's better than Arizona.

661
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I believe Arnie is gonna be on the

662
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 6: show tomorrow night. I don't think blank is on.

663
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, but I'm actually in with him.

664
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 3: There you go.

665
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 2: That's two losses this week for Arizona. No longer number one.

666
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 6: By the way, I was mentioning Yukon women the amazing

667
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: stat is going into today they had won over twenty

668
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 6: straight games by twenty five points each, crazy and a

669
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 6: mere fifteen point win in this one.

670
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: But yes, number one.

671
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 6: Arizona on the men's side lost in overtime at home

672
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 6: to Texas Tech. Iowa State beat Kansas. NBA Slam Dunk

673
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 6: competition to keyshad Johnson, who averages three points a game

674
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 6: for Miami, and Damian Lillard, who you are not going

675
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 6: to see on the court all year for Portland, won

676
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 6: the three point contest. At the Olympics, US men's hockey

677
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 6: defeated Denmark six to three. American speed skater Jordan Stolts

678
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 6: won the five hundred meters and a programming note, the

679
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,680

684
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: towards Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

685
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: Done a lot of bashing of All Star Weekend, but

686
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: one star says, make sure to tune in. You'll like

687
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 2: what you'll see. We explain that next Fox Sports Radio.

688
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

689
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: Hope everybody's having a great Valentine's Day. It is still

690
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day for ten more minutes on the East Coast.

691
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: We are taking you up till two am Eastern time. Jamart,

692
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: you know, I was gonna get to the Wemby quote,

693
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: and we'll get to it in a minute. Let me

694
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: ask you this, So I think you may have mentioned this,

695
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 2: uh to lead this this show. We're we've been talking

696
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: a lot about All Star Weekend. It's a total disaster,

697
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: and I think that there's a lot of you know,

698
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: people want to spend all this time wanting to fix stuff,

699
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: and I don't think there's a fixed to apathy. And

700
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't mean from the fans, I mean from the players.

701
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 2: But I didn't want to ask you this the dunk

702
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: contest specifically, Yeah, putting aside that none of the best

703
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: players want to do it, which takes a lot of

704
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: juice out of it. By the way Mac McClung, the

705
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: multiple time champion, opted out of it this year. So

706
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: that shows you where we are with the Doug contest

707
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: with macmu man.

708
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: I mean, he can't prove anything else. The only thing

709
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 3: he could go do potentially is lose. At this point,

710
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: like his legacy is set. He's not gonna end up

711
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: on an NBA roster as much as he would like to,

712
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: Like he gets a you know, a couple cups of

713
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: coffee here and there, but his name, his last name's

714
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: not James, So he's not gonna get multiple opportunities there.

715
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 3: He's going to stay right there in the G League.

716
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 3: Despite his stats being better than Brawny's pretty much across

717
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: the board.

718
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 2: He has played in more NBA regular season games this year, Jason,

719
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: He has played in four, right for him, put some

720
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: respect on mac McClung's name. But even mac McClung opted

721
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 2: out of the All Star weekend.

722
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: But what is why would you do it anymore? I mean,

723
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: like again, he's already proven how good he is at

724
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: doing that thing. I just at this point it's just like, yeah,

725
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: all right, you know what, I'm not going to be

726
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 3: your side show anymore.

727
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: Well that was gonna be. My question is putting aside that,

728
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: you know, putting aside the game itself where the players

729
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: just don't care. Do you think that we've just reached

730
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: a point because I see this a lot on social media.

731
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 2: It's like we have reached a point where every dunk

732
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: that could ever be done has been done and it's

733
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: time to retire. See we say that, But I will

734
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: say Mac mccluk came up with some pretty crazy stuff

735
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 2: the last few years.

736
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: Now.

737
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because all he does is dunk.

738
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: But yeah, well look, I'm not saying you'd put it

739
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: out to pasture because I still enjoy it. Again, I'm

740
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: a dunk contest fiend. I've always enjoyed it. I've gone

741
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 3: back and watched the classic contest many many times, and yeah,

742
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: it's easy to take shots at it now, There's no

743
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: question about that, because there have been some bad ones

744
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: in recent years. But I still enjoy it for the

745
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: most part. I know there's still some things that are

746
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: out there to be done. And then there's the professional

747
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 3: dunk contest people that do nothing else. And you can

748
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: watch the mixtapes back in the day and stuff, and

749
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: there's still some things that might be out there, but

750
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: generally now it is. I mean it's the same thing

751
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: as like figure skating or something like that. Like there's

752
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: only so much to human can do, and now it's

753
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: who does it the best. I mean, I don't know

754
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 3: that we were seeing I think like when we were

755
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: watching Mac and when we were watching sac Lavine and

756
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon, that was kind of it, Like that that

757
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: might have that might have kind of been the apex

758
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: of whatever the new generation Dunker was going to be.

759
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.

760
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean I want it gone. It just means

761
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 3: that we need to we need to measure our expectations.

762
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: Don't ever think that it's gonna be anything, you know,

763
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 3: groundbreaking the way maybe it once was. It's just gonna

764
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: be a fun little diversion. Maybe we get lucky and

765
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: we get a good one, but it's not something that

766
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: you know, we need to set our watches by the

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: way we did back in the eighties and the nineties.

768
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know one, obviously, look the days I think

769
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: the ship has sailed of you know, really good players

770
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: even being in it. But I don't know, like I

771
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: feel like we have come on the last few years,

772
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: say on this particular night when the event itself wasn't

773
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: it one in the afternoon of basically saying like, we

774
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 2: came in with no expectations and it was better than

775
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: we expected. And so I just bring that up because

776
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: it just feels like to me, I don't know, I

777
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: don't believe that the notion that every dunk that there

778
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: is to have been done has been done. I do

779
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 2: think we had the wrong people in it, and I

780
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: do think it is hard to get excited about a

781
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: bunch of dudes who barely play in the NBA. I mean,

782
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: if you saw the highlights from tonight, there basically weren't

783
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: that many noteworthy dunks among the guys in it. Fox

00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: What's up?

804
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: So Gonzaga Santa Clara is happening right now? Sure? Do

805
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: they play fifteen times a year? It feels like during

806
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 3: this window, I hear Disager give us an update on

807
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 3: gonzagas Santa Clara at least once every three shows like

808
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: and look, it's a great matchup every time. I'm I'm

809
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: not suggesting anything negative about it. It just feels like

810
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: they play more than any two teams on Earth ever have.

811
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: And I know that, I know that, I'm just I'm

812
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: just like real quick over doing it. But it feels

813
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 3: like they play all the time.

814
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so are you thinking of Saint Mary's? Are you

815
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: think of Saint Mary's?

816
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I guess I am thinking to Saint Mary's. So

817
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: then that's probably what it is. I think. I see

818
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 3: Santa Clara, I see Saint Mary's. Well, they all kind

819
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: of run together.

820
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. I don't know, so you're

821
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: not crazy. They're not playing tonight, by the way, and

822
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: I could see how you could get them confused.

823
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but confused.

824
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: I will say this. I don't know the number of years,

825
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: but to your question, they have played more times than

826
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: any two teams. It's either like the last ten years,

827
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: twelve years, fifteen years, twenty years, whatever, because they always

828
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: meet in the conference tournament game as well, and they

829
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 2: always play like it's always an ESPN game when they play.

830
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: So I actually think next week they actually might be playing.

831
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 3: In this window.

832
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: So you know, get the popcord ready, let's see here.

833
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah they close, Yeah, well the twenty eighth, so two

834
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: weeks from today they close the regular season Saint Mary's

835
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 2: and Gonzaga. But you are not crazy because just the

836
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: way the season break and everything, they have played more

837
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: than any two teams. And again I don't know if

838
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 2: it's ten years, twelve years, eight years, six years, whatever,

839
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, no, and yeah, so that's that's how we

840
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: got there.

841
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 3: I will well, like I said, I didn't. I did not.

842
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I got those two. No, it's okay, Yeah,

843
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: Like it's just crazy. It just feels like Gonzaga is

844
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: playing the same team week after week after week for

845
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: some reason.

846
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, I will give you a sad PostScript to that.

847
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: When they play on February twenty eighth, it's gonna be

848
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 2: the last time that they play for a while because

849
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: Gonzaga is going to the New Pac twelve next year. Right, yeah,

850
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 2: I will tell you this really quick side story, and

851
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: we don't have to spend too much time on this,

852
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 2: but because we have a lot of other stuff to

853
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: get to, well.

854
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna do break down the moment by moment

855
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 3: of Super Bowl sixty.

856
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there weren't too many moments there whatever, So

857
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: now we're.

858
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 3: Gonna talk about Super Bowl. But I don't know that

859
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: there's that much game game tape we need to break

860
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 3: down on this show.

861
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say this is that I am

862
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: so so we were talking about, you know, Gonzaga going

863
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 2: the quote unquote NEWPAC twelve next year. I was talking

864
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 2: to a buddy of mine who coaches I'll just say

865
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: he coaches at one of the four Big Ten schools

866
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: that is on the West coast, gotcha, And we were talking, Yes,

867
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: there's a story out Sacramento State is set to join

868
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: the MAC as in the Mid American Conference for football

869
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: only in whatever. I don't know, if it's twenty twenty six,

870
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, whatever. And I bring it up because

871
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 2: I was talking about Buddy, who's a coach at USC,

872
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: and he's like, dude, we just got to blow this

873
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 2: whole thing up and start over again. It's like, this

874
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: is just so preposterous. You know, UCLA played at Michigan

875
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 2: in basketball today. They play at Michigan State later this week.

876
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 2: You know Cal was at Syracuse earlier this week, and

877
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: so this doesn't have to be a realignment segment. But Gonzaga,

878
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: this is their last year in the WCC. They're going

879
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: to the new PAC twelve, which will feature San Diego State,

880
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 2: which is playing right now, and a couple other schools.

881
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: But sadly, I don't even know what schools are in

882
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. And by the way, for those wondering,

883
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: the Mountain West will still exist, and they've added a

884
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: bunch of schools that I don't know either, And that

885
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: is just a metaphor for where we are in college sports.

886
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: The cow Bears and Stanford Cardinal playing in the Atlantic

887
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 2: Coast Conference and you can pretty much go on from

888
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 2: there and yeah, that's your realignment update in college sports

889
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: for now.

890
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, well derailed us a little bit, but I

891
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: think that's I think that's relevant. It is getting harder

892
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: and harder to like discern what is happening in college athletics.

893
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable and you know, I'll just put a bow

894
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 2: on it with this is that to me, it's all

895
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: shuffling deck chair one. We do just need like a

896
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: hard reset and figure out, okay, like what is this,

897
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 2: who plays where?

898
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 3: Whatever?

899
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 2: We also, like the easy solution would just be let

900
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: football do its own thing with how you know, however

901
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: they want to align themselves. But it's like it really

902
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to have UCLA and USC having every

903
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: team fly across country for half their games.

904
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: But definitely not good for the student athlete portion of things.

905
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, it was funny because you know, so my buddy

906
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: at USC did not say this specifically, but a buddy

907
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 2: of mine who used to coach at UCLA, I was

908
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: actually saying to him because I was like, why don't

909
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 2: they just do like an NBA road trip and play

910
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: like six games in twelve days. And he's like, well,

911
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: because he used to coach at UCLA, and he's like,

912
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: UCLA is so pompous that, like they just would say,

913
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: we don't want our kids out of school for that long.

914
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: So basically the school would rather than fly across country

915
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: five times over the course of the year to play

916
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 2: nine you know, East Coast games, then just do it

917
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: all in like a two week period. So anywaow, yeah,

918
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 2: it's crazy world. But yeah, at least UCLA is getting

919
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: all that TV money. They're now only hundreds of millions

920
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: in debt, you know, only tens of millions in debt

921
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 2: rather than hundreds of millions in debt. All right, let's

922
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 2: let's pivot really quick. Super Bowl, So it was last Sunday, happened.

923
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: It happened, and you know, listen, let's let's give credit

924
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: Jason Martin. You did predict a thirty plus point Seattle win.

925
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: We were like, we were gonna get there.

926
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we did not quite get their

927
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: final score twenty nine, twenty nine to thirteen. It was

928
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: twelve nothing going into the fourth quarter. But it was

929
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: nineteen nothing. Just minutes into the fourth quarter, then all

930
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: hell broke loose. There was never a moment that it

931
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: felt like the Seattle Seahawks were gonna lose, that the

932
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: New England Patriots were gonna win. I have some bigger

933
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: picture conversations about the Super Bowl that I want to

934
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: get into with you, But any closing thoughts on what

935
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: was an otherwise sort of a sort of forgetable super

936
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 2: Bowl not gonna lie.

937
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it just went exactly like I thought it

938
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: was going to. And I think that similar to how

939
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,959
Speaker 3: you thought it was going to. One of those teams

940
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 3: looked ready to be there and the other one did not.

941
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: And that was my entire feeling going into the game,

942
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 3: was that Seattle seemed like they were ready to go

943
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 3: win a super Bowl and New England kind of stumbled

944
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: in there. Not that they didn't deserve to be there,

945
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 3: but they just weren't ready to be there yet, and

946
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 3: their quarterback was not quite ready to be there yet.

947
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 3: That was an unfortunate night for him, a learning experience.

948
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 3: But look, Ben Roethlisberger in his first Super Bowl, I think,

949
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 3: threw for one hundred and twenty three yards and had

950
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 3: two touchdowns so and went on to have I think

951
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 3: a pretty solid career. Most would say about Ben. I

952
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: don't know if Joey Porter would agree, based on his

953
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 3: comments a few days ago, which is kind of unbelievable.

954
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 3: But it was just a rough night. But as you

955
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: watched it, you saw pretty clearly that one team was

956
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: just way better than the other one was. And I

957
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 3: that was just kind of my sense the whole time.

958
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 3: And it felt like when I saw all these predictions

959
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 3: that the game was going to be and that I

960
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 3: said that that's bread to being four and a half.

961
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 3: That I'm completely against gambling, but man, that is free

962
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 3: money in my opinion, And it pretty much was like that.

963
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 3: There was never a moment in that game where it

964
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: looked like the Patriots had a chance to win it,

965
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: like maybe they were going to come back and steal

966
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 3: it with what was happening in the second half, but

967
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 3: that was just going to be, you know, fools goal

968
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: kind of stuff, Like I was just waiting for the turnover,

969
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: Like you sent me a text at some point in

970
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: a third quarter by Josh McDaniels continuing to think he

971
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 3: could run in the center, and I said, I think

972
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 3: that's because there's nobody opened downfield, and the longer Drake

973
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 3: May has to hold the football the better, the better

974
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: chance there is of him fumbling or being stripped. And

975
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 3: like within fifteen or twenty minutes of me sending that

976
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: Drake May fumbled in the backfield because he was trying

977
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 3: to hold on to try and create something downfield, Like,

978
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are just better. They're better on defense. The

979
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: offense wasn't even good in the game, and everybody was

980
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 3: crediting the Patriots defense. It just wasn't a particularly crisp

981
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 3: offensive game outside of Kenneth Walker. But the Seahawks are

982
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 3: just way better, deserve to win a game, won the game,

983
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: and it's not going to be a particularly memorable football game.

984
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 3: Everybody's gonna move on from this and we'll see what

985
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: the Patriots are in the future. And then now the

986
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: question as well, how many are the Seahawks going to win?

987
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 3: And all these other things. But more than anything else,

988
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 3: I didn't think that I will say this, some people

989
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 3: were saying it's the worst super Bowl ever. No, definitely not.

990
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 3: It also was not the most boring super Bowl ever.

991
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 3: We did watch that Patriots Ram super Bowl. YEP, that

992
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 3: super Bowl fifty three, and there are some others you

993
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: could put in there as well. I didn't find the

994
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 3: game hard to watch, like I felt like it moved

995
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 3: fairly quickly. I didn't think it was like I enjoyed

996
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: the the time that I spent watching it, but at

997
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: the same time, like I used to be. And my

998
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 3: dad used to do this too. He used to record

999
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl every year on a VHS tape and

1000
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: we would have that and we'd watch that thing over

1001
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: and over and over again if it was any good.

1002
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 3: And he did that with all the Final fours. I

1003
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: had every Final four from nineteen eighty seven on, including

1004
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 3: the championship games and the ACC tournaments every year and

1005
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 3: all this other kind of stuff. This one would have

1006
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 3: gotten recorded over Eric this one. This one would not

1007
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 3: have lasted. There would have been something that lived golf

1008
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: that's on right now that might be taped over the

1009
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: super Bowl at this point.

1010
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cosby Show Season three would have unfortunate. No, Yeah,

1011
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't really have much to add. I mean, from

1012
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: a strategic perspective, I think there were two things that

1013
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 2: stood out is that one the Seahawks kept taking field

1014
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: goals and kept being comfortable taking field goals. The insinuation

1015
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: being that there was they it never felt like there

1016
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: was a moment where they felt like the Patriots were

1017
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: going to put together, you know, consistent drives and specifically

1018
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,479
Speaker 2: scoring drives. I think that's the other thing that stood

1019
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 2: out was the opposite was true as well, is that

1020
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: you watch from the Patriots perspective, and the way that

1021
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: I saw it, it felt to me like the Patriots

1022
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: were just hoping that Sam Donald was going to screw up.

1023
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: By the way, there were a couple throws that he

1024
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 2: almost did screw up. Now to his credit, it didn't

1025
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: end up mattering. And yeah, that's kind of the big

1026
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 2: picture takeaway that I have there. Let me ask you

1027
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: this because you did bring it up. So Sam Donald, listen,

1028
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't his best game, but he is a super

1029
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 2: Bowl champion. He is a great redemption story, and he

1030
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 2: is a guy. Like it's crazy. He is twenty eight

1031
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 2: years old going on. He will be twenty nine before

1032
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: the start of next season. Twenty eight years old. By

1033
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 2: the way, Jaden Daniels is twenty five. Like Jade Daniels

1034
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: is three years.

1035
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: Younger than him.

1036
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 2: You know, you go out and on down the list,

1037
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 2: and whatever. We don't have to go through every single quarterback.

1038
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 2: But he's still really young. Mike McDonald is still really young.

1039
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: And I think there's an interesting coversation about the Seahawks.

1040
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 2: They go fourteen to three in the regular season. I

1041
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 2: don't want to say cruise through the playoffs because the

1042
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 2: Rams obviously put up a good fight, and I think

1043
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: it's an interesting conversation of this really does feel like

1044
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 2: it could be the start of something. But I would

1045
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: also say they play in probably the toughest division in football,

1046
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: and you can also argue that they'll never see a

1047
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 2: worst champion from the AFC again if they ever get

1048
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 2: back to a Super Bowl. So my question for you,

1049
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 2: if I told you Sam Donald Mike McDonald combo zero

1050
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 2: point five super Bowl championships besides this one, would you

1051
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 2: take the over.

1052
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: The under both of them?

1053
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 2: So, with Sam the quarterback, this Seahawks' core because clearly

1054
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 2: Donald's on a team friendly contract, but I don't think

1055
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: he's going anywhere, Like I don't think this contract's gonna

1056
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 2: run out in two years and he's just going to

1057
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: be gone. And Mike McDonald obviously is thirty nine years old,

1058
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 2: and so the insinuation would be that, uh, if he's

1059
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: as good as we think he is, he's gonna be

1060
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: there for a very long time.

1061
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 3: Okay, Man, I don't know, like it's so easy after

1062
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 3: watching something like that to get yourself really really excited

1063
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 3: and start, you know, saying crazy things about what a

1064
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 3: legacy this team could be or whatever. Otherwise like that.

1065
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 3: I I I'm gonna say under And the reason why

1066
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 3: is just because there's been so many teams that we

1067
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 3: think are gonna have these long runs and these yeah,

1068
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna keep on getting I mean, look at Philadelphia.

1069
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: Look what Philadelphia did last year to Kansas City and

1070
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 3: that Super Bowl came back with almost that entire nucleus intact.

1071
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 3: But then you had an offensive coordinator change, and now

1072
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 3: you've got aj Brown wanting out of town, and Jaywen

1073
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 3: Hurts is redressing and can't seem to throw the ball

1074
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 3: down the field, and all of a sudden, Sakwan Barkley's

1075
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 3: not breaking those same runs. And the NFC is a

1076
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 3: stacked up conference. So I think that they cashed because

1077
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 3: they did the thing you have to do, which is

1078
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 3: you better win it now because you cannot guarantee that

1079
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 3: you're going to be back. I think the easy, the

1080
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 3: easy answer personally is to say under because that way

1081
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: I am not predicting that they have to go win

1082
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 3: another Super Bowl.

1083
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say that. When this was first proposed to me,

1084
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 2: kind of on the night of the Super Bowl, you

1085
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: see what you see. You see the dominance of the defense,

1086
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 2: and you think, oh, well, you know, if you're giving

1087
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 2: me just one more, like we're not asking for a

1088
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: Mahomes type you know, three super bowls in four years

1089
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 2: or whatever, it's got it. You know, you got to

1090
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: take the over. But then you start thinking about it,

1091
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 2: and it's like, man, Rams played a pretty tough there.

1092
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: You know in the NFC Championship game, forty nine ers

1093
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 2: beat him once this year by the way, the you

1094
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 2: know we were on air week set, I guess it

1095
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: was the final week of the season, Week eighteen, when

1096
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers gave them all they could hand

1097
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. That was the game that decided the

1098
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: number one seed. So one, the division is tough. And

1099
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 2: then two, like you said, the NFC Philly, for all

1100
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 2: their faults, isn't going anywhere. And what I really come

1101
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 2: back to is I just don't think there's ever going

1102
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 2: to be more manageable to put a delicately team coming

1103
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: out of the AFC than the one that they got

1104
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 2: this year. And so again, it's not to poopoo this,

1105
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, it's not to poop poo this run and

1106
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: what they did. I guess it's just for me to

1107
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 2: say that it's just going to be harder and listen.

1108
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: In the same way that the Patriots got a lot

1109
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 2: of breaks along the way. I'm not saying the Seahawks

1110
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 2: got breaks because they didn't, but they kind of sort

1111
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 2: of got breaks along the way given how everything fell,

1112
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: specifically with the team that they had to play in

1113
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

1114
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say I will say. I will say this.

1115
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 3: I think this is fair because it sounds like we're

1116
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 3: kind of like going after the Seahawks and we're really not.

1117
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 3: They're very, very good and deserving champions. Okay, here's what

1118
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 3: I'll say. I would the under but I wouldn't be

1119
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 3: surprised if they won again. Oh yeah, no, I think

1120
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 3: that they're good enough to win again. Don't get us

1121
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 3: wrong on this. I'm just saying that I don't think

1122
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 3: that we can jump to a conclusion about how dominant

1123
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 3: this team is gonna be for perpetuity because we have

1124
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 3: so many examples of it not ending up going that way.

1125
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,959
Speaker 3: It gets much much harder after you've done it once

1126
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 3: to go back and do it again. It's hard enough

1127
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: to do it once, but now you're not sneaking up

1128
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 3: on anybody at this point. I mean, look at my

1129
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City thunder this year. It's a little bit harder,

1130
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 3: and you can't, of course deal with health, and you

1131
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 3: never know how one season is going to be to

1132
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: the next. But I do think that the road is

1133
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 3: tougher when you're playing in that division with those coaches

1134
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: that you're dealing with on a regular basis.

1135
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks, you are Super Bowl champions. We will see

1136
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 2: where the path takes them. But yeah, Sam Darnold just

1137
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: about to be twenty nine and out about Mike McDonald

1138
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 2: about to be thirty nine At some point in twenty

1139

Speaker 2: twenty six, Fox Sports Radio aertors Jason Martin broadcasting live

1152
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 2: in just one minute. Before we do, though, let's get

1153
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: it to the news desk. Steve de Saga, what's true

1154
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 2: to Handlo again?

1155
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 6: And by the way, Jason, you get an absolute pass

1156
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 6: for the confusion about Saint Mary's and Santa Clara. For

1157
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 6: one reason is the two head coaches look identical.

1158
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: They do.

1159
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,919
Speaker 2: That's a great point. How older they get, the more

1160
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: they look like brothers.

1161
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 6: Randy Bennett's been at Saint Mary's forever and stunning Lee

1162
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 6: in his tenth year at Santa Clara. Is Herb Sandek,

1163
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 6: the former NC state head coach, which means he would

1164
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 6: have been the coach when Santa Clara had Jalen Williams.

1165
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: Who was in Oklahoma City first round he was at

1166
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 2: the game tonight. They showed him on this.

1167
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 6: They did, Yes, they did at their home game and

1168
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 6: they're now trailing Gonzaga seventy three to sixty eight.

1169
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 2: This is a great matchup.

1170
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 6: Santa Clara's thirteen and one in conference twelve ranks Eggs

1171
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 6: twelve and one in conference. And you mentioned about the

1172
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 6: ESPN report that Sacramento State is due to go up

1173
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 6: FROMFCS and be a football only member of the MAC Conference.

1174
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 6: Yet another move, because North Dakota State recently finalized a

1175
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 6: move to the new Mountain West. Northern in Illinois is

1176
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 6: leaving for the Mountain West football that next year. I'll

1177
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 6: just say it out loud, and I'm not the first

1178
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 6: looking at a map. Couldn't Sacramento State have gone to

1179
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 6: the map?

1180
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking that too.

1181
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 6: I was thinking Northern Illinois could be kids. This is

1182
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 6: what happens when nobody's in charge.

1183
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna tell you this. This is a symptom

1184
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 3: of the GPS culture because no one looks at maps anymore. Oh,

1185
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 3: I know where anything is anymore. So now you can say, yeah,

1186
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 3: it's on the Atlantic coast. Sure, Stanford's on the Atlantic coast.

1187
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 3: Because children don't read maps anymore. I can't tell you

1188
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 3: how to get anywhere because the GPS has made me dumb.

1189
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 3: I was much smarter about directions when I was seventeen

1190
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 3: than I am when I'm forty seven.

1191
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 2: I'll also say it's a symptom of just society of

1192
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 2: just like, no, you're wrong. Sacramento State is a mid America.

1193
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: It is in the middle of the country. That's the world.

1194
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 3: We live in. Gas Lighting. We are in the gas

1195
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 3: lighting culture.

1196
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Cal That's that's on the Atlantic coast. I don't know

1197
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Atlantic Ocean. Have you not heard

1198
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 2: of the Atlantic Ocean? That kind of thing.

1199
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 3: It's like, people, we have somebody on the on this

1200
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 3: radio station that does nothing but gaslight and do stuff

1201
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 3: like that all the time. You're gonna be hosted with

1202
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 3: him tomorrow.

1203
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 2: Air Oh ok, yeah, there, he's not the only one.

1204
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, we don't have.

1205
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 6: We have the GPS stories of people just following the

1206
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 6: directions to such a tea that they take a right

1207
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 6: and go into a wall that now exists in the

1208
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 6: alley they were supposed to drive through. By the way,

1209
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 6: there is such a thing as Pac twelve football this fall.

1210
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 6: It's not just going to be Oregon State, Washington State.

1211
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 6: It's eight whole teams for football membership, and that includes

1212
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 6: most of them coming from the Mountain West, so Boise State,

1213
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 6: San Diego State. They are packed twelve football schools as

1214
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 6: of this fall. And I'm sorry, Texas State is now

1215
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 6: a pack twelve football school.

1216
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 2: I'm telling you as of this fall. So you did

1217
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: the thing that we talked about. To leave the show,

1218
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 2: I said, I don't know what the realignment looks like exactly,

1219
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 2: but he.

1220
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 3: Just did it for us.

1221
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 6: And so when they get the first championship of the

1222
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 6: new PAC twelve, it's going to be on the first

1223
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 6: Friday night of December, and not on a neutral site. No,

1224
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 6: it'll be home venue of the highest seed. But it

1225
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 6: is pathetic what's going on for many reasons. One of

1226
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 6: them is kind of what you just referenced.

1227
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 3: There.

1228
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 6: There were generations of kids who were college sports fans

1229
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 6: who knew their geography better than their classmates in school.

1230
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,760

1272
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Super bowl, sixty The Seattle, seahawks your winner twenty nine to,

1273
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 2: thirteen and, unfortunately where there is the thrill of, victory

1274
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 2: there is also the agony of. Defeat patriots lose wasn't really,

1275
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 2: competitive AND i don't want to do the thing WHERE

1276
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: i just pile on like they deserve to be. There

1277
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: they got some breaks along the. Way certainly Bo nix

1278
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: not playing in AN afc championship game was, very very

1279
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 2: beneficial to. Them BUT i just bring it up because

1280
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 2: in watching them in that, game in looking at the

1281
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 2: totality of their, season while acknowledging and appreciating that they

1282
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 2: deserved to be In Santa clara for This Super, BOWL

1283
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: i will also say THAT i believe THAT i don't

1284
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 2: know THAT i have ever maybe, not maybe that's a

1285
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 2: little bit of a, hyperbole BUT i don't know That

1286
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: i've ever seen a team more built for The Super

1287
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: bowl hangover and crash back down To earth than The

1288
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: New England. Patriots the stat that we talked about on

1289
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 2: the show last, week eleven games this season against teams

1290
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 2: that eventually fired their head. COACHES i could reach you

1291
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: the Schedule jmart for next, year but it is. TOUGH

1292
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 2: i like The patriots. STORY i think next year has

1293
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 2: regressed written all over.

1294
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 3: It, YEAH i, mean do you?

1295
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 2: Disagree, No.

1296
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 3: It's MORE i THINK i think regression is the easy

1297
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,439
Speaker 3: call anyway for A Super bowl runner up or even

1298
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 3: for A Super bowl, champion because both of them had

1299
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 3: incredible regular seasons and gonna get. Harder it's it's hard

1300
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 3: to duplicate being that. GOOD i think it's, more is

1301
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 3: it is it real regression? Here because a lot of

1302
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 3: this is gonna depend, upon, obviously how they continue to

1303
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 3: build the, team AND i do trust very well in

1304
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 3: that regard and how they do. That but does this

1305
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 3: stick To drake may or does this just inspire him

1306
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 3: and he goes on like is this a game he

1307
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 3: can put behind? Him or is this something that's gonna

1308
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 3: take some time to shake. Off that's gonna determine a.

1309
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 3: Lot if he comes out and struggles for the first

1310
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 3: month of the season next, year is he gonna be

1311
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 3: able to pick it back? Up and get them into.

1312
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 3: POSITION i think They're the bigger issue Is they've still

1313
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 3: Got buffalo in their own. Division i'm not worried about

1314
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 3: The jets And i'm not worried about The dolphins at

1315
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 3: this point in. Time so they're in a division that.

1316
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Helps but but The bills coming back and winning that

1317
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 3: division next year is a very possible, outcome depending on

1318
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 3: factors like what's gonna happen in the draft and free

1319
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 3: agency and all of those. Things but you've Got Joe

1320
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 3: brady and Obviously Josh allen likes Him mary he wouldn't

1321
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 3: have that. JOB i don't know if it makes them.

1322
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 3: BETTER i have no, idea but we still know what

1323
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 3: the talent Of Josh allen. Is he's gonna come Back,

1324
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:39,439
Speaker 3: hungary Is Drake may gonna come back and there's gonna

1325
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 3: be some kind of hangover where he's not gonna trust

1326
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 3: himself as much or is he? Okay if he's, OKAY

1327
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 3: i still think they're gonna be. FINE i think the

1328
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 3: bigger question about regression.

1329
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 5: Is is it?

1330
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 3: Pronounced meaning are they even close to The Super bowl

1331
01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 3: next year against THE? Afc AND i don't necessarily think

1332
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna see a duplication of this. Year in, FACT

1333
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 3: i think they're probably a wild card next, year maybe

1334
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 3: even at, best and you factor in that first place,

1335
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 3: SCHEDULE i think that's gonna say a. Lot. NOW i

1336
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 3: V abel usually plays really. Well his team's play really

1337
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 3: well against top, opponents so that may be exactly what

1338
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 3: the doctor. Ordered but what we saw was that's an

1339
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 3: incomplete team that really needs a powerful offseason to come

1340
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 3: back and be able to do this because right now

1341
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 3: there's some holes that need to be, patched there's some

1342
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 3: moves that need to be. Made this is where this

1343
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 3: is where you earn your, money quite, frankly if you're

1344
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 3: in that front office and you're making decisions there because

1345
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 3: you do have a franchise. Quarterback, there all the people

1346
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 3: that are during that game and after that game saying

1347
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 3: this guy was AN mvp, Candidate so yes he. Was

1348
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 3: he had a great. Year should he have won THE? Mvp,

1349
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 3: no the guy who should have won it did win.

1350
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 3: It Matthew stafford should have been in the LEAGUE mvp

1351
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 3: by a fairly wide. Margin but let's not you, know

1352
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 3: crap all. Over drake may like all of a sudden

1353
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 3: he can't play football because he played against A mike McDonald, defense,

1354
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 3: like let's slow our role on. THAT i think that

1355
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 3: the jury is out on what The patriots are going to,

1356
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 3: be BUT i do think that this offseason is incredibly

1357
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 3: Important to answer that. Question, WELL i.

1358
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 2: Think obviously a few bigger picture. Issues obviously Won Stefan

1359
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 2: diggs dealing with some. Stuff to say the, least off the,

1360
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: Field Will campbell may be a little bit exposed by the,

1361
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 2: Way i'm going to read you the schedule for next. Year, well,

1362
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 2: no these are just the road games At, buffalo, okay At,

1363
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:53,240

Speaker 2: jets obviously At jackxonville and drumroll please At, seattle M

1366
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: so At, seattle At, buffalo At chicago all playoff, teams

1367
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 2: at The chargers obviously a playoff. Team and Then i'll

1368
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,960

1371
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 2: Is i'm just taking.

1372
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 3: It, YEAH i MEAN i THINK i would. Too they're

1373
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 3: gonna have To it's gonna be tougher next. YEAR i,

1374
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 3: mean you've laid it out. Perfectly that's exactly. Right it

1375
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 3: is going to be a challenge for them to be

1376
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 3: able to do what they did this past season going.

1377
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 3: Forward like, it it's gonna be a difficult, task to

1378
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 3: say the. LEAST i don't know how they're going to

1379
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 3: answer that. Challenge it'll be fun to, watch it'll be

1380
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 3: interesting to. Watch you, know you couldn't have had a

1381
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 3: worse night Than drake ended up having. There SO i

1382
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 3: think that there are a lot of people that are

1383
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 3: gonna like count him. OUT i would not do, that

1384
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 3: BUT i do not think that The patriots will be

1385
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 3: representing THE afc in The Super bowl next. YEAR i

1386
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 3: also do not think they will be playing in a

1387
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 3: conference championship game next. YEAR i might even go further

1388
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 3: and SAY i don't think that they're going to be

1389
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 3: in The divisional round next. YEAR i might stop short

1390
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 3: of that for. Now we'll see how things play out

1391
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 3: here during the during this off season period and what

1392
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 3: they end up, doing what moves that they, make because

1393
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 3: AGAIN i think that's critical to all of.

1394
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: THIS i would just say really, quick because we only

1395
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 2: have a minute to get to The sager the flip

1396
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 2: side back to The Seattle for half a, SECOND i

1397
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 2: was looking at their schedule trying to figure out who

1398
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 2: they could possibly. Host you, know they're gonna obviously host

1399
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 2: that Opening thursday night. GAME i think The, patriots it's

1400
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 2: a very conceivable possibility that they will be the team.

1401
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 2: Chosen they have this Is seattle has home games against

1402
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: obviously within the, division The Cardinal No rams and forty

1403
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: Nine ers remember Opening, Melbourne australia next, year so they're

1404
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 2: off the. Table then the other the rest of the

1405
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 2: home Games, Cowboys, Giants, Chiefs, chargers and then obviously The

1406
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 2: patriots And bears as. Well and so if you take

1407
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,759
Speaker 2: The rams and forty Nine ers off the, Table giants

1408
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: aren't gonna be. IT i would assume The chiefs BECAUSE

1409
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 2: i cannot imagine a world Where mahomes is ready For week.

1410
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 2: ONE i would assume they're off the. TABLE i think

1411
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 2: it's probably either gonna be The patriots or The, bears

1412
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 2: so we might get That Super bowl rematch. Early New

1413
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 2: england is scheduled to play In seattle next. YEAR i

1414
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,560
Speaker 2: Know i'm throwing a lot at, YOU J. MARTIN i

1415
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 2: don't know if you have any hot takes on what

1416
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 2: That Thursday week one game could. Be BUT i think to, me,

1417
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 2: oh AND i should mention the Freaking. Cowboys it might

1418
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: be The cowboys that might actually be the best. Bet

1419
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 2: BUT i would, say Of seattle's, whatever it would be

1420
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 2: nine home, GAMES i would think it'd be down to

1421
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 2: those three for the, opener either The, patriots The, bears

1422
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 2: or probably in all, likelihood The, cowboys because as everybody

1423
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 2: loves watching The.

1424
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 3: COWBOYS i don't THINK i don't think THAT i can

1425
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 3: have a, take have a take at this. Point, NO

1426
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,600
Speaker 3: i can't do. THAT i think at this point you

1427
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 3: would see through it like let's get let's at least

1428
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 3: get through the off, season, sure and then we can

1429
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:21,120

01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,760

1584
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: with respect to him BECAUSE i think he actually has

1585
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 2: a great, backstory but not a guy THAT i think

1586
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 2: is a household name by any stretch of the, imagination

1587
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 2: averaging three points and two rebounds for The Miami heat

1588
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:49,320

01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 2: comes to, tanking including reevaluating the draft process and the lottery,

1591
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: process specifically in the. Draft bring it, up because On,

1596
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 2: against each. Other it's just there's nothing else to. Say

1597
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,520
Speaker 2: THE nba is a. Disaster THE nba has more problems

1598
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 2: than we know how to, discuss AND i think this

1599
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: weekend is just a metaphor for the state of this,

1600
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 2: league which is a, total absolute. Disaster here in what

1601
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 2: should be a weekend of.

1602
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 3: Celebration we're not talking about the second half of the,

1603
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 3: season the run to the. Playoffs we're not even talking

1604
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 3: about the moves that were made to the. Deadline we're

1605
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 3: not talking about who's a, contender who's a, pretender any

1606
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 3: of that. Stuff we are talking, about how can we

1607
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 3: make it so that the fans will think that our

1608
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 3: athletes care about the sport that they are. Playing and

1609
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 3: how can we make it so that teams that are

1610
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 3: clearly trying to position themselves with a higher percentage chance

1611
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 3: to draft somebody good because they don't like who they.

1612
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 3: Have how is it that we can continue to kind

1613
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 3: of prop this up that it's. Normal and why are

1614
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 3: our numbers not working out as well as we thought they,

1615
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 3: would now that we're streaming on seven hundred and forty

1616
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 3: five different networks and all of these, things and now

1617
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 3: we're talking About we've Got Adam silver talking about, Tanking

1618
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:50,879
Speaker 3: we've got him talking about all of these different, issues

1619
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 3: but it all boils down to this overall feel that's

1620
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 3: been there now for a few, Years BUT i think

1621
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 3: it's probably at its worst right, now where the fans

1622
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 3: from night to night have no sense of consistency about

1623
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 3: what they might, see and they don't Really it's hard

1624
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 3: to WATCH nba basketball for an entire week without having

1625
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 3: multiple moments where you're, like are these guys? Trying like

1626
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 3: do they actually? Care there's too many playoff, teams so

1627
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 3: what did they? Do they added the play in games

1628
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 3: and all those other things so we can have a

1629
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 3: few more games to make it so that everybody gets

1630
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 3: a participation trophy now except for the ones that are

1631
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 3: clearly trying to tank for The Cooper flag of next.

1632
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 3: Year and, look, man he is already if It's, peterson

1633
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 3: he is already ready for your league because he is

1634
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 3: load managing like a. Champion already put him in The

1635
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:54,520
Speaker 3: hall Of fame right. Now he clearly understands the assignment

1636
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 3: when it comes to THE nba and how often he's gonna.

1637
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 3: Play but it's it's all of, this and it's it's

1638
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 3: embarrassing and it's a shame because so many of these

1639
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 3: guys have all world, talent but there's just no sense

1640
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 3: of like that crisp competition that makes you want to

1641
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 3: tune in until you get to the, playoffs because then

1642
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 3: they actually turn it. On but this is a problem

1643
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 3: that it's gone on for a. While BUT i don't

1644
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 3: feel sorry For Adam silver because he has allowed this to.

1645
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 3: Transpire he's given up so much ground to the players

1646
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 3: THAT i don't think that they respect him or believe

1647
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 3: that he actually can follow through on any, threat even

1648
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 3: if he did make. One so we're sitting here about

1649
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 3: to watch a game where you've Got Kevin durant blaming The.

1650

01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,200

1662
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 3: to this. Tomorrow it'll be fine because it's really gonna

1663
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,719

1665
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 2: This just looking at the, schedule and, AGAIN i think

1666
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 2: for people who Missed All Star, saturday it was at

1667
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,720

1669
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 2: start time. Now it starts at five Pm eastern. TOMORROW

1670
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 2: i think a bunch of people are not even gonna

1671
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 2: be aware that this, game this thing has started and

1672
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: is going. On BUT i think they're gonna see. HIGHLIGHTS

1673
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 2: i think they're gonna see. Reaction. Listen the one thing

1674
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 2: THAT i do think that we might be able to

1675
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,600
Speaker 2: talk about next, week and it's something you AND i

1676
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 2: have been, on BUT i think it's something that is

1677
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 2: going to become a real discourse after. TOMORROW i think

1678
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: it's a serious time to have a conversation about is

1679
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 2: it time For Adam silver to be relieved of his?

1680
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 2: Duties and you AND i have been on, this BUT

1681
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 2: i just think where this league is at and by the,

1682
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: way maybe the, owners you, know they're making so much

1683
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 2: money from THE tv deal that they don't care and

1684
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 2: that maybe nothing will ever come of. THIS i just

1685
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: feel like the last couple of, years what this weekend

1686
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 2: has turned, into what THE tv ratings have turned. INTO i,

1687
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 2: Mean disager said it the other. Day you, know The

1688
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 2: All Star game now well below even The Winter olympics opening,

1689
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 2: ceremony let alone the actual. Events and so we don't

1690
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: have to do the whole semantics right, now BUT tv

1691
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 2: ratings are, down All Star games in, abomination tanking is

1692
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 2: worse than it's ever, been and with The Utah jazz

1693
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: shutting guys down In february to get them ready for next.

1694
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 2: YEAR i, mean at some, point you, know, listen and

1695
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 2: we talked about this in hour. One at some, point

1696
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:16,600
Speaker 2: congrats on signing THE tv deal that you. Did he

1697
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 2: deserves credit for, that but that is also a reflection

1698
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 2: OF tv networks are overpaying for live, sports and all live,

1699
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 2: sports college, football college, BASKETBALL, NBA wnba just got a

1700
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 2: NEW tv deal. Majorly you go on and on down the,

1701
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 2: list and SO i don't think that he should get

1702
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 2: a free pass because they signed this CRAZY tv deal

1703
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 2: when literally every other metric is going in the wrong.

1704
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 2: Direction AND i Think sunday This All Star game is

1705
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 2: going to be a referendum on.

1706
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 3: That, YEAH i MEAN i think that's one hundred percent,

1707
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 3: True AND i just. DON'T i don't, Know, like what

1708
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 3: does he? Point? Two what does the league point to and, say,

1709
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 3: yeah you know, What he's done a really good job with.

1710
01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 2: That it's a great.

1711
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 3: Point what is the? Win what is the? Win the?

1712
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 3: Ist is it the n season? Tournament? Yeah is that the?

1713
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 3: Win to, SAY i hope not for.

1714
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 2: His, sake it's. Listen the argument is THE tv, Deal

1715
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 2: but AGAIN i don't and two. Things one the argument

1716
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 2: is THE tv. Deal the counter to that is every

1717
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,560
Speaker 2: single league That i'm aware, of at least the mainstream,

1718
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 2: ones are getting BETTER tv deals because LIVE tv programming

1719
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 2: has never been more important in, sports because it is

1720
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 2: the only thing that brings audiences to a television in

1721
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, six hence the only thing you can sell ads.

1722
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,640
Speaker 2: For so that is why there is a demand for

1723
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 2: sports sports, content and that is why all of these

1724
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 2: leagues are getting. Overpaid and so maybe that does get

1725
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 2: him another couple of. Years maybe nobody will care about

1726
01:29:56,600 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 2: another abomination of An All star. Weekend BUT i just

1727
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 2: think this weekend where, AGAIN i, Mean i'm just going

1728
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 2: off of, Like, okay The All Star game has been

1729
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 2: bad for a. While All Star, saturday, now The friday

1730
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 2: night game that The seger said was on streaming only

1731
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 2: that nobody could even find in the arena was. Empty

1732
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 2: it's just to your, POINT i don't know what you're

1733
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 2: selling as a positive or even anything related to the

1734
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 2: league that's on an upward, trajectory you know What i'm.

1735
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 3: Saying so, YEAH i MEAN i. DON'T i don't know

1736
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do now if You're Adam, silver

1737
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,440
Speaker 3: because AND i said, this AND i used the same analogy,

1738
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 3: earlier the horse is already out of the, barn like

1739
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 3: you can't shut the stable. Door. Now the horses are

1740
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 3: already running free at this point in, time and they

1741
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 3: know that they have you over a barrel because without,

1742
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 3: them you have no. League and that's a huge. Problem

1743
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 3: and it's a big time problem right now as everything

1744
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 3: is getting more, expensive particularly in the entertainment. SPACE i

1745
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 3: don't know if you've looked at your streaming services out, there,

1746
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 3: people but all of them are going up in, price absolutely.

1747
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 3: Everyone do they need to be going up in, Price absolutely.

1748
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 3: Not but they understand now that they have you in

1749
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 3: their ecosystem that if you want to continue to enjoy

1750
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 3: the entertainment that you already have because you don't own

1751
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,680
Speaker 3: any of it now that it's all on their platforms

1752
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 3: and not on your, shelves that at that point in,

1753
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 3: time they have. You and so they're going to keep

1754
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 3: on raising the prices and, then and it may already

1755
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 3: have happened at this. Point sports is now more expensive

1756
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 3: to watch now than it's ever. Been so THE nba

1757
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 3: has a value proposition where they actually have to prove themselves.

1758
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 3: MORE i mean there are some of these streaming networks

1759
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 3: that they are. USING i mean think About peacock for.

1760
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 3: Example THIS i think this is probably the best example

1761
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 3: of this right, now at least for THE nba, side

1762
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 3: because they're not On, paramount But peacock now that they

1763
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 3: have lost THE wwe TO, espn which WAS i think

1764
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 3: one of their bigger. Draws, like they have a couple

1765
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 3: of series that have reruns that have long catalogs that

1766
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,560
Speaker 3: you would want to, see but outside of, that the

1767
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 3: movie selection is not very good and almost none of

1768
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 3: the new content THAT nbc has put out in the

1769
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:25,600
Speaker 3: last ten years has been worth anything. Whatsoever and so

1770
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a cord. Cut so you're telling me

1771
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 3: That i'm gonna keep paying For peacock If i'm not

1772
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,879
Speaker 3: on a service that offers it to me. Free i'm

1773
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 3: gonna keep That for THE nba when guys are gonna

1774
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 3: take Off saturday, nights they're not gonna. Care teams are

1775
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 3: gonna stop playing By. February we're gonna be gas lit

1776
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 3: in every interview that this is the greatest era of

1777
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,640
Speaker 3: THE nba that's ever, Existed like all of that kind of.

1778
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 3: Stuff it's it is a failed product whose optics are.

1779
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 3: Bad and if there's one thing that the league itself

1780
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,560
Speaker 3: should be able to, control it's the optics of the

1781
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 3: games that are being. Played even when people Hated Roger,

1782
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 3: goodell people still love WATCHING nfl football games because there

1783
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 3: was a consistency to that, product and that consistency is

1784
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 3: woefully absent in The National Basketball. ASSOCIATION i saw something great.

1785
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 2: On social media today THAT i think it is a

1786
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 2: piggyback off of your point and your point about cord

1787
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 2: cutting and. Whatever the people that will Get peacock for

1788
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:37,240
Speaker 2: THE nba are the. DIEHARDS i don't think they're bringing

1789
01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:42,200
Speaker 2: in new. People and maybe it's people that also want

1790
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:45,640
Speaker 2: to watch some other sporting event On. Peacock you, know

1791
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 2: there's a lot of college, basketball college, football. Whatever BUT

1792
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 2: i don't think it's bringing in a lot of new.

1793
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 2: People AND i think that's part of the NBA's. Problem

1794
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 2: and the comment THAT i saw on social media THAT

1795
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 2: i thought was so, good i'd credit the person IF

1796
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 2: i knew who put it, Out but basically they, said

1797
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 2: the original purpose Of All Star, weekend this is the

1798
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 2: NBA's All Star, weekend was essentially to bring in the casual.

1799
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 2: Viewer it was who's the best shooter in the. World

1800
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 2: gotta tune in to find out who's the best athlete

1801
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 2: in the. World we're gonna have this thing called The Dunk.

1802
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 2: Contest is gonna be. Awesome oh and all of the

1803
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 2: best players are gonna. Compete it's going to mean, something

1804
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 2: and it's the only place that you can see them

1805
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 2: all in the same. Spot and SO i bring it

1806
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 2: up BECAUSE i think The, peacock you, Know, amazon, whatever

1807
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 2: it's it's a good metaphor for Also All Star weekend

1808
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 2: of now it's only the diehards that are watching, it

1809
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,759
Speaker 2: and it's it's the inverse of or it's the, reverse

1810
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 2: excuse me of what it was supposed to.

1811
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 3: Be it brought in.

1812
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 2: Everybody now it's only the diehards that are Watching All Star,

1813
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,560
Speaker 2: weekend or at least maybe this specific one and the

1814
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 2: times are done. Whatever but, AGAIN i think that's the

1815
01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 2: problem with THE. Nba is. It Maybe i'm, crazy but

1816
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 2: it feels like all of these other, sports THE, nfl

1817
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 2: to their, credit is all trying to find new ways

1818
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,960
Speaker 2: to get new, fans international, games fantasy, football, whatever and

1819
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 2: THE nba maybe they're, trying but they're just not doing

1820
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 2: a very good job of. It because right, now, again

1821
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 2: whether it's the streaming, platforms whether It's All Star, weekend,

1822
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,680
Speaker 2: yes the diehards are always going to tune. In the

1823
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 2: problem is everybody, else and you're not giving them a

1824
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 2: reason to tune in.

1825
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 3: Overall, no that's incredibly well, Said and they don't have

1826
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 3: to tune. In THE nba has to make them want.

1827
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 3: To and there is again more competition for attention and

1828
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 3: dollars than ever, before AND i don't think that THE

1829
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 3: nba product has put itself in a position where it

1830
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 3: is near the top of anybody's list despite the talent

1831
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 3: of a lot of the players in the. League and

1832
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 3: we haven't even talked about the changes to the game

1833
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 3: and the fact that it's a three point shooting contest

1834
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 3: night after night after night because that's become the most

1835
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,600
Speaker 3: effective talent tactic, available and all those other, things like

1836
01:35:58,040 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 3: there are other things that we could play in and

1837
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 3: talk about this, stuff but generally, speaking just the games

1838
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:07,560
Speaker 3: are just not particularly. Compelling each one feels like the

1839
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 3: exact same game That i've watched with a bunch of

1840
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 3: other teams all season. Long but, again IF i get

1841
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 3: the sense that your athletes can't be bothered to, care

1842
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 3: Then i'll just do something else because time is a

1843
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 3: precious resource that we can't get. Back SO i, mean

1844
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 3: they need a really Good All star game where guys

1845
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 3: are going for, it AND i wish that's what we would.

1846
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 3: GET i do not think that's what we're gonna, get

1847
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 3: Because Kevin durant told Me europe is to.

1848
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 2: Blame Blame. Europe oh my, goodness. Unbelievable he did say,

1849
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 2: that by the, way for people who missed. It he

1850
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:47,560
Speaker 2: was kind of asked about basically you, know is it

1851
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 2: his responsibility to try harder and all of. That and

1852
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: his exact quote, Was i've been watching For All star

1853
01:36:57,400 --> 01:36:59,839
Speaker 2: games for, years and the intensity of the older Generation

1854
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 2: i've been talking. ABOUT i don't see. It let's see

1855
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 2: IF i could find the exact quote On. Europe let

1856
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:05,720
Speaker 2: me see IF i can find it really. Quick it

1857
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 2: is a pretty incredible.

1858
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 3: Quote he starts talking About jokic And luca and all

1859
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:15,560
Speaker 3: these here guys. Here it's amazing the blame, shift, yeah he.

1860
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:18,520
Speaker 2: Said asked On wednesday ahead of The All star festivities

1861
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 2: about the level of effort in the, Game durant, said,

1862
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 2: quote you should ask The europeans and The world team

1863
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 2: if they're going to. COMPETE i wonder How David stern

1864
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 2: would have reacted to that one in nineteen ninety. FOUR

1865
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 2: i don't think he would have been to.

1866
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 3: It, yeah you know, WHAT i think The World team's

1867
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 3: probably gonna compete pretty. Hard, well anybody. IS i think they.

1868

1876
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:01,760

1923
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 2: Know that was actually one of the that was probably

1924
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 2: gonna be. MINE i, actually at, first you, know the

1925
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:50,120
Speaker 2: concept of a dude that was just seven foot four

1926
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:52,599
Speaker 2: that took a lot of, Threes like when he was coming,

1927
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 2: IN i was, LIKE i don't know if that's really

1928
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 2: going to. Translate he is a very fun. Watch he

1929
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 2: is a total you, know mismatch is even an, understatement

1930
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 2: but on both ends of the, court he's just an

1931
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 2: absolute just. Monster AND i will, say LIKE i did

1932
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 2: read the quote from him that wasn't really a reference

1933
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,960
Speaker 2: to playing hard in The All Star, game but that

1934
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 2: was gonna be. Mine just in, GENERAL i do think

1935
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 2: the younger, generation like the young guys have seen the

1936
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 2: mistakes of the older, guys AND i, HOPE i don't,

1937
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 2: know BUT i hope that they will learn from. THEM

1938
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:33,880
Speaker 2: i Saw Kid cunningham say earlier today he hopes at

1939
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 2: some point it goes back To East west because he

1940
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 2: watched all the Old All star games and he wants to,

1941
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 2: play you, know in the same you know setting that

1942
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 2: all the icons. Did wemby has said and done largely

1943
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 2: all the right. Things so so, yeah we could be

1944
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 2: glasses half full here for half a. SECOND i do

1945
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 2: think there are some entertaining young stars in the, league and,

1946
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 2: hopefully you, know they aren't too damaged by you, know

1947
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,120
Speaker 2: hanging out With katie and all these other guys this.

1948
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 2: Weekend speaking of, which let's Talk. Lebron So lebron On

1949
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:14,880
Speaker 2: thursday night did set another Record thursday against The Dallas

1950
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 2: mavericks twenty eight, points ten, rebounds twelve. Assists in the,

1951
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:25,240
Speaker 2: process became the oldest player ever to record a triple. Double, now,

1952
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 2: listen it's a great. Record congrats to. Him don't have

1953
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 2: to take anything away from. Him he's now forty one years.

1954
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 2: Old he will be forty two before the calendar turns

1955
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:38,560
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty seven here in about ten. Months but

1956
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 2: it is worth noting a few things about that triple.

1957
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 2: Double one opted not to play against The San Antonio

1958
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 2: spurs a few nights, before just to come back for

1959
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 2: a nineteen and thirty Five Dallas mavericks team that did

1960
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 2: not Have cooper flag on the. Floor by the, way

1961
01:42:56,160 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 2: so some are Saying lebron Ducked. Wemby i'll leave that

1962
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 2: up to you to. Decide but, Two i'll also say.

1963
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 2: This it was a twenty point win in which they

1964
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 2: were up fourteen going into the fourth, quarter so, obviously,

1965
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 2: look he can pull him at the start of the fourth,

1966
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 2: quarter but they were in complete. Control he played the

1967
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 2: most minutes of anyone in the, game, which at forty

1968
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 2: one years, OLD i don't think you should be leading

1969
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 2: your team in minutes unless you're clearly trying to stat

1970
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 2: Pad and anyone who saw the highlights knows that last

1971
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 2: loose ball goes up in the, Air Lebron james basically

1972
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,160
Speaker 2: ripped it out of the hands Of Jackson hayes to

1973
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 2: get his tenth rebound to get the triple. Double what

1974
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 2: do you think About lebron's stat padding On Thursday night

1975
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 2: against The.

1976
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 3: Mavericks, yeah so it's less about like you're talking about Ducking.

1977
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,160
Speaker 3: WIMBY i don't even, Care LIKE i wouldn't even think

1978
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:52,640
Speaker 3: that that's what he was. DOING i think he was

1979
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 3: ducking a competitive game because he wanted to use his

1980
01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 3: energy in something that was going to benefit his. Legacy

1981
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 3: only thing that Benefits Lebron james legacy at this point in,

1982
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 3: time because he ain't winning a, title is individual accolades

1983
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:09,799
Speaker 3: that he can then lurd over to try and proclaim

1984
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 3: himself the greatest of all. Time and this is another

1985
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 3: example of, that because this is about as empty a

1986
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 3: triple double as you can. Have and it shouldn't feel that,

1987
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:25,680
Speaker 3: way but it does Because lebron just he can't he

1988
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 3: can't leave well enough. ALONE i have come to the.

1989
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 3: Point i've come to the PLACE i sent this to

1990
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 3: you in a text, earlier AND i cannot imagine THAT

1991
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 3: i am alone in. THIS i just just go, away

1992
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 3: like it's time to. RETIRE i understand you can still,

1993
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 3: play but this league needs to exist without you going,

1994
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 3: forward like we just we don't need this kind of.

1995
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 3: Stuff and it's not just. HIM i know there are

1996
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 3: other guys that have Stat patt Had believe, Me i'm

1997
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,759
Speaker 3: not singing them, out but this is just the latest

1998
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 3: in Another everything is about him and his glory and

1999
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:09,800
Speaker 3: making sure that you understand how privileged you are to

2000
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:12,560
Speaker 3: be able to see this unbelievable athlete and all. This

2001
01:45:12,680 --> 01:45:17,000
Speaker 3: but it's so self aggrandizing in so many, ways AND

2002
01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 3: i blame the circle of people that have been around

2003
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 3: him for the LAST i don't even know how many

2004
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 3: years at this point in time THAT i think have

2005
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 3: just blown so much smoke at him and told him

2006
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 3: that he is the second coming of not THAT i

2007
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 3: would Say Michael, jordan but that's not fair BECAUSE i

2008
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 3: think they've told him he's better Than Michael. Jordan at

2009
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,679
Speaker 3: this point in. Time they've just told they have made

2010
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 3: him believe that he is actually a. Deity AND i

2011
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 3: think that it's gotten worse and worse BECAUSE i didn't

2012
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 3: feel this way about him originally In. Cleveland, obviously the

2013
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 3: decision was the, decision BUT i think as his career

2014
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 3: has gone, on this has gotten. Worse and AS i

2015
01:45:56,280 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 3: have loved watching him play, BASKETBALL i truly, have but

2016
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 3: every new piece of information that we get About Lebron

2017
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 3: james every single one makes me like him. Less every

2018
01:46:09,120 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 3: day that he is still in THE, NBA i like

2019
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 3: him less THAN i did the day before because everything

2020
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 3: is so transparently selfish for. Him at this point in,

2021
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,600
Speaker 3: TIME i just need him to go, away AND i

2022
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 3: think THE nba does, Too.

2023
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 2: SO i THINK i had that thought even dating back

2024
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 2: to last year's. Playoffs if you remember and you, know

2025
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,600
Speaker 2: with how it, ended it's easy to. Forget you, Know

2026
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 2: haliburton gets, hurt, whatever But haliburton had this amazing. Run

2027
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 2: The knicks had an amazing. Run, okay, see is clearly

2028
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 2: this emerging. POWER i remember saying at the, time like

2029
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,600
Speaker 2: it's just time you need to. Leave but, this to,

2030
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 2: me and we've talked about, this but the last couple

2031
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 2: of years to, me have felt much more like A

2032
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 2: Lebron james nostalgia tour For Lebron james than anything other

2033
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 2: than anything that's actually basketball. Related and it's, disappointing and

2034
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 2: it's you, know like it's disappointing because of who he

2035
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 2: was and how good he was at his absolute. Peak

2036
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 2: but when you, have you, know the video montage In,

2037
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 2: cleveland which is, okay except last year they did something

2038
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 2: when him And bronni came the first time When bronni

2039
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 2: was a pro a year or, ago and so you

2040
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:25,400
Speaker 2: just go on and on down the, list and it

2041
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 2: just feels like a nostalgia. Tour and part of WHY

2042
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 2: i wanted to bring up this topic was this is

2043
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 2: because clearly The lakers are done with him after this.

2044
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:36,400
Speaker 2: Year AND i was even thinking about this on the

2045
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 2: drive in of just the notion, of you, KNOW i

2046
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 2: really do, wonder, like, CLEARLY i think everyone in the

2047
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:45,680
Speaker 2: building is over, it AND i think they're just tolerating it,

2048
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 2: because as you, said they're probably a team that is

2049
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 2: not built to win AN nba title this. Year they

2050
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 2: know he will not be under contract next. Year my

2051
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 2: question for you is pretty. Straightforward is there a market

2052
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 2: For Lebron james beyond twenty twenty? Five? Now the obvious

2053
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 2: answer Is. Cleveland cleveland is very clearly in this weird

2054
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,599
Speaker 2: situation where they have to win now With Donovan, mitchell

2055
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:11,720
Speaker 2: they just traded For James. Harden maybe It's, cleveland but

2056
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 2: other than, THAT i don't think there's a market For

2057
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 2: Lebron james beyond this. YEAR i don't think people want

2058
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:20,320
Speaker 2: to deal with this stuff when he very clearly is

2059
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 2: not at the peak of his powers.

2060
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 3: Anymore, YEAH i, mean there probably, is because you can

2061
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 3: still sell tickets with, him especially if you're in the

2062
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 3: right kind of, market AND i think that that still

2063
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 3: carries a lot of. WEIGHT i don't know why you'd

2064
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 3: want to bring that, in because it's just. It it

2065
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 3: ends up just taking all the oxygen out of the.

2066
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 3: ROOM i don't think that at this point adding him

2067
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:48,400
Speaker 3: BECAUSE i don't think that HE i don't believe that

2068
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 3: he is built now because it's gone on for so

2069
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 3: long and he's heard the same stuff about himself from

2070
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 3: his inner circle for so. LONG i don't think he

2071
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 3: can take a back. SEAT i think he has to

2072
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 3: lead in his own. Mind he has to be the,

2073
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 3: guy and wherever it is that he, GOES i don't

2074
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 3: think that that can be the, case and SO i

2075
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 3: don't think it. WORKS i think it's just going to

2076
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:11,599
Speaker 3: be a lot of, backfighting or a lot of passive aggressive,

2077
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 3: stuff or a lot of politicking that no one is

2078
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 3: supposed to know, about and all this other. STUFF i

2079
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:20,520
Speaker 3: just don't see the win there for somebody else outside

2080
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:22,720
Speaker 3: of being able to sell. Tickets SO i don't know

2081
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:24,559
Speaker 3: about the market for. HIM i just kind of look at.

2082
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,639
Speaker 3: It it's not like he's washed. Up he can still.

2083
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 3: Play BUT i don't think that the. BAGGAGE i don't

2084
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 3: think the juice has worth the squeeze anymore when IT

2085
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 3: i do not want him on my team in my

2086
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 3: franchise because of just there's just too much there there

2087
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:43,679
Speaker 3: for me to feel comfortable about.

2088
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 2: It we will See Lebron james obviously will be a

2089
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 2: free agent at the end of this. Year, lakers to your,

2090
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:53,080
Speaker 2: point probably not going. Anywhere despite sitting at thirty three

01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 2: today real. Quickly let me ask you. This have you

2190
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 2: had a chance at all to get into The Winter?

2191
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:06,200
Speaker 2: Olympics and you can.

2192
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:10,360
Speaker 3: Say, deeply not deeply, somewhat BUT i MEAN i, haven't

2193
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 3: not as much as in years, past not BECAUSE i didn't,

2194
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 3: care just because your, dad you got two, kids one

2195
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 3: of them got sick On, thursday changed. Everything SO i

2196
01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 3: just haven't had as much. OPPORTUNITY i don't sit. AROUND

2197
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:27,080
Speaker 3: i think the biggest thing for me now is LIKE

2198
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 3: i don't sit around in prime time with a plan.

2199
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 3: ANYMORE i think that's the biggest. Thing LIKE i CAN

2200
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 3: i can catch up on what needed WHAT i needed

2201
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 3: to see from The olympics on my own, time you,

2202
01:55:43,400 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 3: know and highlight packages and things like. THAT i don't

2203
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,480
Speaker 3: know that like sitting there with the rest of the

2204
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 3: country watching something live is SOMETHING i do all that often.

2205
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 3: Anymore AND i think one of the main reasons why

2206
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 3: is Because i'm not on social media, anymore, sure and

2207
01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 3: So i'm not part of that conversation in real, time and,

2208
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:05,760
Speaker 3: so you, know it's just it's not like appointment viewing

2209
01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:07,640
Speaker 3: THAT i have to see it in that. Moment doesn't

2210
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 3: MEAN i haven't been paying attention or watching what is,

2211
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:14,240
Speaker 3: happening but in terms of like sitting there and watching

2212
01:56:14,840 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 3: night to night, coverage not Really, yeah.

2213
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 2: All i'll say the only REASON i really asked is

2214
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 2: ONE i actually haven't watched as much. EITHER i will

2215
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:25,840
Speaker 2: say it was kind of crazy for people who are

2216
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,280
Speaker 2: just totally not plugged in one of the big. Storylines

2217
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 2: AND i know this name because we promoted it as

2218
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:34,480
Speaker 2: part of you, know the lead up to The Olympic Iliah,

2219
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,880
Speaker 2: Malanin SO i was not familiar with this name about you,

2220
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 2: know six weeks ago and we heard it so much

2221
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 2: on These Fox sports radio. Airwaves SO i get. HOME

2222
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 2: i was at an event last, night AND i get

2223
01:56:45,160 --> 01:56:47,360
Speaker 2: home And i'm, like you, know let me just turn this.

2224
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:49,640
Speaker 2: On and it was probably about ten thirty local time,

2225
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:54,520
Speaker 2: here and right AS i turned, on with absolutely no,

2226
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 2: Context i'm, like, Oh Ilia malanin is.

2227
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 3: Skating i've you got to watch. IT i, MEAN i

2228
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:03,040
Speaker 3: know what happened, obviously BUT i. DIDN'T i didn't know

2229
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 3: the timing of when he was skating or. Whatever so

2230
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 3: you actually got.

2231
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,400
Speaker 2: To see that routine without and it was the, cool

2232
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:14,000
Speaker 2: the very rare cool part about it had not been

2233
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 2: spoiled by social. MEDIA i had no. IDEA i was, like,

2234
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 2: oh this is the Guy i've been hearing. About let

2235
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:22,600
Speaker 2: me tune. In and for people who missed, it, yeah

2236
01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 2: first of, all like he's supposedly like this skating. Prodigy

2237
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:28,600
Speaker 2: he's only like twenty years, old which is. Crazy but

2238
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 2: it did not go. Well and Actually i'll give him.

2239
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:33,240
Speaker 2: CREDIT i thought he handled it. Well after the, race

2240
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 2: the winner was From. Kazakhstan he ran over and not ran,

2241
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 2: over but he walked over and gave him a hug

2242
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:41,320
Speaker 2: and congratulated him and said all the right things in

2243
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:44,120
Speaker 2: the postgame interview or the post skate. INTERVIEW i guess you.

2244
01:57:44,160 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 2: Will but, yeah it was pretty. Crazy it was pretty.

2245
01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:49,640
Speaker 2: Crazy LIKE i got, HOME i was, exhausted THE tv was,

2246
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 2: ON i flipped it. Over he, SKATES i have no,

2247
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,879
Speaker 2: context AND i TUNED i probably tuned in for fifteen

2248
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 2: total minutes of The Winter olympics AND i caught the

2249
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:02,280
Speaker 2: biggest story in real time with no. Context so that

2250
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 2: was pretty. Cool and again TODAY i was actually looking

2251
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:09,600
Speaker 2: for THE US teamsa hockey was playing and that was

2252
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,880
Speaker 2: WHEN i turned ON nbc AND i FOUND Nba All Star.

2253
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 2: Weekends so but but, yeah so that is my context

2254
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:17,080
Speaker 2: with The Winter. Olympics BUT i will say from the

2255
01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 2: very Limited i've seen it's it's been a good product.

2256
01:58:19,680 --> 01:58:22,560
Speaker 3: Overall so, YEAH i MEAN i definitely have gotten that,

2257
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:25,320
Speaker 3: sense and people that have talked about it around me

2258
01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:28,800
Speaker 3: have definitely said positive stuff about, It SO i, mean

2259
01:58:29,040 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 3: it's certainly not me like speaking ill about. It The

2260
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:36,200
Speaker 3: melainin thing is, fascinating just because the expectation was he

2261
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 3: was going to go in and do these quads and

2262
01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 3: just blow people away and it just didn't. Happen and you,

2263
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 3: know you feel really bad for him, because especially when

2264
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 3: it comes to The, olympics like you, trained you, trained you,

2265
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 3: train and you, train and do you go there and

2266
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 3: you have a bad couple of minutes and it all

2267
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 3: ends up going for Not and that's that's got to be,

2268
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:56,720
Speaker 3: tough especially at.

2269
01:58:56,760 --> 01:59:00,760
Speaker 2: TWENTY i don't know how you can watch that stuff

2270
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,840
Speaker 2: and that's not immediately the first thought is of there's

2271
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:07,360
Speaker 2: no this Isn't Sam donald throws two picks in The

2272
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:09,320
Speaker 2: Super bowl Or Drake may has a terrible game And

2273
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 2: Sam donald didn throw two. Picks but that was the,

2274
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 2: Hypothetical Drake may having a bad game and getting to

2275
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 2: come again and do it next. Year Iliam allenin has

2276
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:19,680
