We will get to 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: that later in the show, and obviously get to a 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 2: busy week in the NFL outside of the games, as 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: it was a crazy week in the coaching carousel and 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff going on there. Adam Kaplan will 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: join us as well, and according to Monsei, will make 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,639 Speaker 2: its return about an hour and a half from now. 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: Before we get to it, though, George, do you want 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: to start actually in the association? I want to start 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: because obviously you live in LA and I believe I 30 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: could be mistaken that you're a big Lakers fan. And yes, 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: late last night so we've had the whole I mean, obviously, 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: look the Lakers, it is not going well. We know 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: what this team has been post in season tournament. But 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: it's been an interesting week, to say the least for 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: Lebron James. He obviously early in the week there were 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 2: trade rumors Rich Paul immediately denied those. But then he's 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: going to New York. He's playing at Madison Square Garden. 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: He puts out the tweets with the Statue of Liberty 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: emoji to the King emoji, and then lately, right before 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: the game last night, he was asked about his future, 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: not necessarily in New York, but more so with the Lakers, 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: as he has obviously that one year, he has the 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: player option for the next year, so he is not 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: required contractually to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers. He 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: was very noncommittal. Was basically asked, do you have you 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: thought much about what next year has to bring you? 47 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: And he answered with one word, no, George, you're a 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: Lakers fan, You're an NBA nut. What did you make 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: of Lebron, once again being noncommittal about his future in 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: Los Angeles? 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 4: Nothing? Nothing, nothing at all. And everybody knows how much 52 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 4: I like Lebron James right, and where I think his 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 4: place in history is all of these things. And I 54 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: like to preface this airing by so I love my wife, 55 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 4: love my kids, love my mom, my dad, all those 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: all those people. Generally we're always on the same side, right, 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 4: But sometimes I have to, you know, they either have 58 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 4: to have a conversation with me or I have to 59 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 4: have a conversation with them and say, you are on 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 4: the wrong side of this, buddy. And that's the way 61 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: I feel about Lebron about this is where I support him, 62 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 4: But I also have to call a spade of space. 63 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: And I think that in this case that this is 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: about power and wanting some control over the situation and 65 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 4: by sign continuously signing short deals because from the information 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: that I that I have and have gathered, right Lebron's 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 4: not retiring after this season. He's not retiring after next season. 68 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: That the that the retirement plan is for the season 69 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: after that. So so two more full NBA seasons after 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: this one. That that that's what the plan is. That 71 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: it won't be shorter than that barring some sort of 72 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: catastrophic injury. But could it potentially be longer, sure, right, 73 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: but no shorter than that. And Lebron is a big 74 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: time family man. I've had a chance to see him 75 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 4: up close and personal and him leaving La for anywhere 76 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 4: outside and let's say like Golden State ain't happening. It 77 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: is not happening, and the Clippers is not even an option. 78 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: So that would make zero sense, zero sense, because that 79 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 4: means that he'll get a chance that he will be 80 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: at less of Bronnie and Bryce's games, be there for Zuri, 81 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: less his wife is here with them. So that would 82 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: I mean, that would destroy the life that he has 83 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: spent a very long time building and put a lot 84 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: of stress on it for what for maybe one more championship. 85 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 4: So that's why I said Golden State because at least 86 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: that's close enough right to where it's an our private jet. 87 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 4: It's easy to it's easier to get in and out 88 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 4: and all that stuff. So aside from Golden State, I 89 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: don't see it. I think that this is to keep 90 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 4: the Lakers management under his thumb and say, listen, here's 91 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 4: what we need. Here is what I want. And that's 92 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: where the Lakers Aaron have to do. What pat Riley 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 4: did in Miami, the same thing that the bulls in 94 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 4: Chicago did to Michael Jordan is sometimes you gotta say no. 95 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: Sometimes you have to say look, here is our vision 96 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: for the organization, and here's what we're going to do 97 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: for our short term and long term future. And I 98 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 4: know that you may disagree with this, but here is 99 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: why we're doing it. That's it. Well, well, I don't 100 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 4: know if I want to be I'm sorry, Like this 101 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: is the direction that we are going. 102 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: Well, And it's funny because I actually wanted to ask you, 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: you know, beyond just the comments about you know, it's 104 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: clear that he wants change there whatever, but beyond that 105 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: is the question of is he going would he ever 106 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: leave Los Angeles? And that's the part where like it 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: kind of falls flat to me, is exactly what you said, 108 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: And I don't have the ties that you do. And 109 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: that was why I wanted to ask you. You know, I don't. 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't want to, you know, put your personal life 111 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: out there, but I know you have ties to see 112 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: our canyon where his son, his oldest son. I was 113 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: gonna say, Bryce, but Bronnie played, and. 114 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: So Bryce is there too? Is he there? Yeah? 115 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: He's changed high schools like four times already, sidekick No. 116 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: No, Bryce's Bryce only changed then went to Notre Dame 117 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: for like thirty seconds and then he was back. He 118 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: was He was at Notre Dame for like two and 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: a half months and then he was back at uh 120 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: at Sierra. That's only a second high school. 121 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you want to nerd out 122 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: on California high school basketball. I think there was a 123 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: moment where everyone thought he was going to Campmble Hall, 124 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: which is like where Rip Hamilton's kids go and maybe 125 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: somebody else's I don't know, so I thought this was his. 126 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. So so that was the initial plan was for 127 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: him to go to SIP, for him to go to 128 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: Campbell Hall. And if you notice, there was a big 129 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: pledged donation to Campbell Hall. So because you know, and 130 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: because all his kids didn't go to the same school, 131 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: and then you would have thought that they would have 132 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 4: all been at the same school. But then there was 133 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: some other stuff but behind the scenes, and then it 134 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 4: turned out to be Notre Dame, and then Notre Dame 135 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: wasn't the right fit, and so he actually only changed 136 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: high schools once. 137 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, I won't again. I won't pore 138 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: people with too much. 139 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: Of the yeah, and it's just for yeah, it was 140 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: just for a couple of months. 141 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I had I knew he was at Sierra Canyon, 142 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: and then I thought he was going to Campbell Hall. 143 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: He never got to Camball and knew there was another school. 144 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Whatever. 145 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: The point is exactly what you just said, George, is listen. 146 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: I so I I can't even say, like I get 147 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: Lebron's frustra because I do. But it's also it's it's 148 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: the broken clock is the same time twice. It's like 149 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: at a certain point, it's like I just I can't 150 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: get that worked up about it, especially when you're thirty 151 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: nine years old. Your whole family's here. To your point, George, 152 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: your two youngest kids are still in high school. They 153 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: you know, like, you're not going to whatever. I'm just 154 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: trying to think you're not going to Boston to you know, 155 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: like to chase titles or New York to chase titles 156 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: or whatever. And that was exactly why I wanted to 157 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: ask you, because I knew you knew some behind the 158 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: scenes family stuff and so you know, it falls flat 159 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: to me. Now I will ask you this is do 160 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: you in your opinion in any way, shape or form. 161 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: And I think I know where you stand based on 162 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: what you said, But do you think there's a major 163 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: move coming? And what I will say in defense of 164 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: the Lakers is is this time last year, it was 165 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: got to get rid of us, Gotta do this, gotta 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: do that. And at the time, it was like there 167 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: really is no way other than packaging all your picks. 168 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: But whatever. But they did a great job at the deadline. 169 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: They obviously got Ruya Chimora, they got you know whoever. 170 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: I can't remember everybody now off the top of my head, 171 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: but they did a good job at the deadline of 172 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: kind of restructuring that team on the fly. And so 173 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, you know, Lebron wants big 174 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: sweeping stuff that probably isn't gonna happen. That probably isn't 175 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 2: gonna be realistic. But do you in any way do 176 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 2: you think something's coming, because it's clear that Lebron wants 177 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 2: at least something to change before the deadline. 178 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 4: A guy I used to work with, Aaron said, you 179 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 4: used to say a quote that I found just just prolific. 180 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: And there there's a lot of times in life, whether 181 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 4: it's in politics or sports or whatever it is, Aaron, 182 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 4: how many times have you heard people say we have 183 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: to do something, we have to do something. 184 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: Yep, all the time. 185 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: Okay, don't do something, do the right thing. And a 186 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: lot of times people get focused on we gotta do something. No, no, no, Lakers, 187 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: don't do something, do the right thing. And anybody with 188 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: two eyes and two ears could have seen that the 189 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: Rust and Lebron thing was not going to work at 190 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: the level that it was. And people are like, well, 191 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: why does it work with the Clippers? Because the Clippers 192 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 4: have excellent three point shooters. That's why, that's why the 193 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: Lakers last year did not They were what the worst 194 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: three point shooting team in the league prior to the 195 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 4: trade deadline. So yes, and I do think that there 196 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: are going to be that there's gonna be a trade 197 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 4: or two, But I don't think it's going to be 198 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 4: anything dramatic. And everybody wants to fire Darvin Ham and 199 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: all of that. And this is another thing Aron like, 200 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: I love Like there are people who will criticize Lebron 201 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: for everything under the sun, But the reality is this 202 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 4: man is had the most hype of all time, lived 203 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 4: up to the hype he gives back to the community. 204 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: All is he a flawed human in some ways? Like us? 205 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 5: All? 206 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: Yes, so, like the expectation for perfection is unrealistic and 207 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 4: is there something as far as the coaches go, Like yes, 208 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 4: that's why you got to be able to say no, 209 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: hire a good coach, and then when he wants to 210 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 4: fire him, like they wanted to in Miami, you're like no, no, 211 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: what pat Ryder was like, No, Eric Spolcher is our coach. 212 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 4: That's it. You'll be out of here before Spoe gets 213 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 4: out of here. Michael Jordan did not want Phil Jackson 214 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: to be his coach. Like, let me repeat that, Phil Jackson, 215 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 4: and we know the history that came from that. He 216 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 4: did not want Phil Jackson would not buy into the 217 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 4: system at all. Then as soon as he bought into 218 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 4: the system, Magic happened, and it's hard because Lebron is 219 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 4: almost forty, it's been in the league twenty two years. 220 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: It's hard to teach old dog new tricks. His game 221 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 4: has transformed in terms of been a bit a better shooter, 222 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 4: bit all of this stuff. But if you're going to 223 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 4: take the next phase, Lebron is gonna have to do 224 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: some changing. 225 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a quick question, since since you 226 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: seem to have some insight that other people might not, 227 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: what is it about two years from now? I mean, 228 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: is it just Lebron still thinks he's playing at a 229 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: high level, but two full years from now or obviously 230 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: by that point he'd be well beyond forty. I mean, 231 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: seems like it's a pretty calculated thing that he plans 232 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 2: on being there beyond. Not just he plans on playing 233 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: next year. We both think it'll be in LA, but 234 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: that even next year, probably as a forty year old, 235 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: for the entire season, wouldn't necessarily mean the end. 236 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 4: Either. Lebron is a business Sure, he's not a business man. 237 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 4: He's a business man. 238 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 6: And. 239 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 4: It takes a long time for the business of Lebron 240 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: to prepare for Lebron to get retired. Sure, and so 241 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: that means that corporate sponsors have to be ready. And 242 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: I mean even even if you were gonna do shoes 243 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 4: right where he he's a huge part of Nike's business. 244 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 4: He's made them well like almost two billion dollars. Interesting, 245 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 4: So if they were going to roll something out, so 246 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 4: to take you behind the scenes the Lebron Like, so 247 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: the Lebron's that just came out for this year, right, 248 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 4: so it's twenty twenty three when they first launched, right 249 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 4: the twenty twenty three Lebrons. They started being worked on 250 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: and basically done in twenty the end of twenty twenty one. 251 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: Wow, that's interesting. 252 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 4: So, like you're looking at like eighteen months lead time, 253 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: So if you're going to so if he's going to 254 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: retire and they're playing all of this other stuff, whether 255 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: it's them or any of his other sponsors, spring Hill Entertainment, 256 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 4: if they're planning a documentary, if they're planning any of 257 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: this stuff. Because Lebron's business, there's calculation involved in all 258 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: of this. It takes a long time to ramp that up. 259 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: That's really interesting. That's really interesting. So we can expect 260 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: some limited edition Lebron's twenty twenty seven's whatever for when 261 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: he were says, real quick, one last question because because 262 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to nerd out now for half a second, 263 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: does this at all reflect on Obviously lebron has been 264 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: very public about wanting to play with Bronni in the NBA. 265 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: But obviously Bronni had a scary, scary setback, you know 266 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: this year. Obviously he had the cardiac arrest. He's okay 267 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: now he's playing at USC but obviously it's been an 268 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: adjustment period. Do you think this means that maybe Bronni 269 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: will do more than one year sc or that has 270 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. 271 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 4: Now, this is not the there is some educated you know, 272 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 4: part of this common conversation because everything else that I've 273 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 4: said is not just a guess like this is something 274 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: that I that I feel reasonably comfortable about, right and 275 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 4: that and that I'm not saying it as as a fact, 276 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: but this is what I've gathered from from from conversations 277 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: that I've had. But this part of it, this is 278 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 4: the George Reister as a father, as a personal like, 279 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: this is a different part of the the conversation. I 280 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 4: believe that and have always believed that Brownie was not 281 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 4: going to be a one and done. Always I thought 282 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 4: that he would be in college for at least two years, 283 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 4: and I think it projects to that that being right 284 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 4: right now, I would be highly surprised if he came 285 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 4: out in the draft. I do think that his health 286 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: scare that I do think it has impacted because there 287 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 4: there are people and even people here on this network 288 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: who who had on this channel, who have pointed out stats. 289 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 4: They're like, oh, look at his stats. He's oh look, 290 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 4: he's this, he's that. It's like the dude just had 291 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 4: a cardiac arrest and wasn't able to practice all all summer, Like, 292 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 4: you don't think that that has any way impacted his game, 293 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 4: like impacted his life. And so I do think that 294 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 4: if I had something like that happen to me and 295 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 4: my family, and even though we had all these grand plans, 296 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: it probably would put things in a different perspective. And 297 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: now say, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on, 298 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: Like if this I know we structured this to happen, 299 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: and we thought this was going to happen, but I 300 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 4: want to be with you period, regardless of basketball, any 301 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 4: of this all. I think everything else becomes secondary when 302 00:16:54,040 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 4: you know that your kid literally died and they had 303 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: to save his life and he had to have a 304 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 4: procedure and everything else to make sure that he's able 305 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 4: to even, you know, just live a normal life. Yeah, 306 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 4: I think that playing in the NBA with your son 307 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: that probably takes a tremendous backseat. 308 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 2: Very interesting stuff, very interesting stuff Lebron again last night. 309 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: The Lakers do get the win. But you know, the 310 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 2: story of course all week was Lebron being very noncommittal 311 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: on his future, said he has not thought about that 312 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: player option beyond this year. But you know, George and 313 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: I tend to agree that he ain't going anywhere.

Fox Sports Sunday er Tor is 345 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: in for Dan Byer a long time alongside six year 346 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: NFL VET George Reister. George, since you and Dan were 347 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: last on, we had a pretty much the essentially the 348 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 2: wrap of the NFL coaching carousel. At least, you know, 349 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: we suspect it will be a couple of head coaching hires. 350 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: Obviously the coordinator stuff is still to come. Did want 351 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: to ask you the Washington Commanders, so you know, I 352 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: don't know where you stand on all this stuff, George, 353 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: but I'll just be quick here and I'll just say 354 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 2: this is that the Washington Commanders new ownership. I'm supposed 355 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: to be sold. This is a new era. Things are 356 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 2: a changing. Got the number two pick, and whether that's 357 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: Drake May, whether it's Jade and Daniels, maybe even Caleb 358 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 2: Williams refuses to go to Chicago, things are gonna to 359 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: be so different in Washington. Then we find out Ben 360 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: Johnson is it going to Washington, which I think and 361 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 2: I even actually want to even ask you about that 362 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: part as well. I think it's kind of weird that 363 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: Washington had no real indication. I feel like that's something 364 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 2: you have to vet before you wait three weeks to 365 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: make your higher. But then of course, the important part 366 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: land up with dan Quinn, and I think it's kind 367 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: of a universal take. I've heard Dan Patrick talk about 368 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: it in the Break. I think Cavino and Rich mentioned 369 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: it as well. For a franchise that's supposed to be 370 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: turning over a new leaf, new exciting era, this that 371 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: the other thing. I don't know that I would want 372 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: to hire a fifty something year old defensive coordinator who oh, 373 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: by the way, the last time we saw him, his 374 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: defense could not get the Packers off the field. But 375 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: I've talked long enough, George, what did you make of 376 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: the of the the hire of Dan dan Quinn. I 377 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: want to say Dan almost said Dan Campbell, but dan 378 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: Quinn to the Washington Commanders. 379 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 4: I didn't put any negative connotation to it at all. 380 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 4: I thought that this was a situation where dan Quinn 381 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 4: he took a team to the Super Bowl, and I 382 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 4: think that people forget about that, that he was not 383 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 4: just unsuccessful in Atlanta. And I think that as you 384 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: get older, that you know, he probably learned some things 385 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: when he was in Atlanta, learned some things from Mike 386 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 4: and McCarthy and everybody. Since he's been in Dallas, And 387 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: you hope that along that that he will be able 388 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: to foster a good culture Falster, because that's what Washington 389 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 4: is really fighting against. They've had a terrible culture, they've 390 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 4: had terrible ownership, and now they're trying to put the 391 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 4: franchise in stable people's hands. Makes sense, and dan Quinn 392 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: and I think that people are just looking at it like, oh, 393 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 4: look what his defense did and the getst the Packers. 394 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: This has also been one of the best defenses in 395 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: football over the last couple of years. So he's had 396 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 4: a good He's done a good job of communicating, helping 397 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: hire the right people on the staff. And when you 398 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 4: add that with the fact that he has been a 399 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 4: successful head coach, this higher and I mean, how many times, 400 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 4: Aaron do we see people say, oh, that's a great hire, 401 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 4: look at look at that name. Sure, no, this name 402 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: is great, and then you and then that name falls 403 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 4: flat on its face. 404 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: Well, and it's funny too, right because like Ben Johnson, 405 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: like we just assume because the Detroit Lions offense was 406 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: for the most part, you know, minus the second half 407 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: last week, sorry, Chris Purfett was awesome all year, Like, 408 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that that automatically means Ben Johnson would be 409 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: a great head coach. Matter of fact, really quickly, I'll 410 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: tell you what, George, I want to come back on 411 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: the other side. I do want to go ahead and 412 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: talk about the best Johnson aspect of things, because I 413 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: kind of have two questions for you about him as 414 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: he now will return uh to Detroit. Will discuss that next, 415 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: but for the first time this afternoon, at least on 416 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: this show, Mancey belanos, what is trending? 417 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 10: Hi, guys, Oh, how are you? 418 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 2: I'm great? 419 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 10: Oh, goodie, Georgie. Don't ignore me. 420 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, I'm not ignoring you, Monty. I do think though, 421 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 4: I think. I just think it's funny how them tables 422 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 4: turned about nothing where like listen you uh, you ran 423 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 4: into some pushback on social media and then and then 424 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 4: I saw that you ended up getting uh being able 425 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: to being able to sit back and kick kick your 426 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 4: feet up. 427 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 10: I mean, things happen, and these things happened. 428 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: I like that MANSI was the adult because George, you 429 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: and I have been in a couple of those when 430 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: I'm proven right.

I think that that MASI that she 438 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 4: did the right thing only because of the subject matter, 439 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 4: and like people are real testy about it, like just 440 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 4: just just just because of like the racial component of it. 441 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 4: I probably would have chilled on that one.

Actually, 504 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: one more question about the dan Quinn perspective. How important 505 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: do you think the offensive coordinator higher is? Because and 506 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: this is why I was a little down on the 507 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: dan Quinn hire is because you're obviously taking a quarterback 508 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: at number two, and we know the track record of 509 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: young quarterbacks that get to go play for a Matt 510 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 2: Lafleur like Jordan Love whoever versus a defensive head coach, 511 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: you know, whoever Bill Belichick with Mac Jones, Mike Tomlin 512 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 2: and Kenny Pickett, on and on and on. Obviously, Russell 513 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: Westbrook and Pete Carrol bicker for years. How important is 514 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: it do you think that they get that coordinator higher right? 515 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: As it does look like it'll probably be Cliff Kingsbury, 516 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: although nothing is official yet. 517 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 4: Oh that is paramount that is you have to, especially 518 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 4: dealing with a young quarterback, even even with an old quarterback, 519 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 4: have to get your coordinator higher right, because number one, 520 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 4: you have to have somebody that can scheme people open, 521 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 4: that can adjust right, that knows how to groom a 522 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 4: young quarterback, how to bring them along, not give them 523 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: too much, when to give more, how to handle them 524 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 4: when things go poorly, you know, when they're not seeing 525 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 4: things the way that they need to. Any of that. Like, 526 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: there's the physical, spiritual, emotional, football everything part of it 527 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: that he's got to be. He's got to be part coach, 528 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 4: part motivator, part mentor, part father, part everything, part therapist, everything. 529 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: But the most important thing to put around a young 530 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 4: quarterback is two things. There, a good defense and a 531 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 4: running game. Because if you can do those two things, 532 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 4: that takes away so much of the pressure off of 533 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: a young quarterback and it's gonna allow him to grow 534 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 4: early and and and even more than that, whoever they draft, 535 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 4: do not just throw him out there. Assume he's not 536 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: going to start as a rookie. So make sure that 537 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 4: you bring somebody in like like that, you bring in 538 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 4: a whoever the Alex Smith version of the guy that 539 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 4: you can get right now or the or. 540 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 2: What's the Tyrod Taylor. 541 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 4: It feels that Tyrod Taylor or what's what's the deuced 542 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 4: name in with the oh Gardner Minshew like a guy 543 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 4: who's gonna come in be he's stable who started, but 544 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 4: it's not really a threat to like to like keep 545 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 4: the job for forever. But you want him to be 546 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 4: better than Mitchell Trubisky but not but still have enough 547 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 4: years in the league where he can, you know, like 548 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 4: in like Andy Dalton, yes, like the I thought the 549 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers that they did not do the right thing 550 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 4: by starting Bryce. I thought they should have started Andy 551 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 4: Dalton considering that the team was gonna be so bad 552 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 4: that the team was gonna be bad. But but this 553 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: is the same thing that the Miami Dolphins did with 554 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 4: with with Tua. They didn't start him the beginning of 555 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: the season. Then in came, they tried to get through 556 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 4: the hard part of the schedule, They get to the 557 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 4: bye week, and then they're like Tua starting. Everybody on 558 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 4: that staff knew that Tua was not ready yet. I 559 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 4: talked to people on that staff and players. They said 560 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 4: he ain't ready, and they threw him out there anyway, 561 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 4: and then the whole world is off. Oh he's terribly 562 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 4: sucks that play people when they're ready. Even if you 563 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: got God forbid, he's got to sit a couple of 564 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 4: years and then you might get Jordan Love or maybe 565 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 4: he's ready like Stroud. Stop preconceiving what you think is 566 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: going to happen, because everybody's career arc is different. 567 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. I understand that the 568 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: most valuable thing that an NFL franchise can have is 569 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: a good quarterback on a rookie contract. I mean, obviously, 570 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: the extreme example right now is the San Francisco forty 571 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: nine ers, But I've also often wondered, I mean, if 572 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: you look at most of the best quarterbacks in the league. 573 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes did not play at all his first year. Obviously, 574 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: I think he played the final. 575 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 4: Week, the final Yeah, yeah. 576 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: Lamar basically was not asked to start right away. 577 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't play to the end of the season either. 578 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: Why why don't more teams take that approach? And I 579 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: get I get that if you have a super whatever, 580 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 2: I'm just it just it has never made since to 581 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: me that it is your most valuable asset. It's the 582 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: most important position on the field, and so many teams 583 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: rush guys in when they're not ready. And I know 584 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 2: that sometimes you gotta coach on the hot seat, you 585 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 2: got a GM on the hot seat, whatever, but that's 586 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: not every case. Every year, and yet year after year 587 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: after year, I see this happen, and I never understand 588 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 2: why does it have to be week one? Why, like 589 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: you said, why can't it be week eight? Why can't 590 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: it be the end of the first season, especially if 591 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 2: you know that your guy isn't ready. It's never made 592 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: sense to me. What do you make of that? 593 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 4: George? It is impatience and just just peer just arrogance, 594 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 4: like there is an arrogance about it. Oh, we know, 595 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 4: we know the right answer. This is, this is how 596 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 4: we gotta handle it. And no slow down, slow down, 597 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 4: poal slow down, because so many times like players are 598 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 4: not ready, it's and it's okay, it's okay, and but 599 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 4: but they are They're like, oh, we spent this draft pick. 600 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 4: The only way for him to get ready is for 601 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 4: him to play. No, not really like there there are 602 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 4: better options, and a lot of times they just don't 603 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 4: want to invest, like Prime Prime example, the the New 604 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 4: York Jets. Zach Wilson has been run over, backed up 605 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 4: over by by the bus and everything else. Right, But 606 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: the but the problem is the team. The team set 607 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 4: this dude up for failure. On one hundred percent. They 608 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 4: set him up for failure by by with his rookie year, 609 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 4: there was not a single solitary quarterback on that roster 610 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 4: that had thrown an NFL pass Aaron, not one. 611 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 3: Crazy, So why. 612 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 4: Would you do that to your rookie quarterback? I mean, 613 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 4: it just makes no sense, makes no sense. You are 614 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 4: now putting your young quarterback in a position to be 615 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 4: to just get killed out out in the media. And 616 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 4: then you bring in Flacco at the end of the year. 617 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 4: But Zack Wilson was hurt by then. And then the 618 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 4: next year you try to fix it some but a 619 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 4: lot of the damage was already done. And instead of 620 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 4: him getting a chance to learn from somebody else and learn, 621 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 4: oh how to say things to the media, how to 622 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 4: handle it like could you get a chance to watch Nope, nope, 623 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: they they set him up for failure. And then they've 624 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 4: been doing damage control ever since. And it was no 625 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 4: way to put the two paste back into two. 626 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 2: Tell you what, George, I want to continue this conversation. 627 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: As the Washington Commanders have named Dan Quinn their head coach. 628 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury appears might be on the way. Also what 629 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 2: happened with Ben Johnson. We'll discuss that all next Fox 630 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday. 631 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 632 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 7: the nation.

Dan 636 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 2: Byer is out Aeron torres In alongside George Reister for 637 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 2: the break. We're talking about a lot of different things, 638 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 2: specifically as it pertains to the Washington Commanders. Probably take 639 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 2: a quarterback. You know, I think it does matter. I 640 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 2: don't think. I don't think. I know it matters who 641 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: ends up being the OC really quick. I'm curious for 642 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 2: your perspective, George, if it does end up being Cliff Kingsbury. 643 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: All reports are that it's going to be. First of all, 644 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if you have any insight on what 645 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 2: may or may not have happened with the Raiders. I 646 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 2: would love to hear that. But then also Cliff Kingsbury 647 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 2: as a play caller who is not a head coach, 648 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 2: who doesn't have to do all the things that a 649 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 2: head coach requires. I'm just curious on your perspective from him. 650 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 2: Obviously did not work out as the Cardinals head coach, 651 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 2: did not work out as a college head coach, but 652 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 2: obviously had success previously as a play caller. Was just 653 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 2: curious about your perspective on that. 654 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 4: Okay, So there's a big difference between being a offensive 655 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 4: coordinator and being a head coach. I don't know if 656 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 4: Cliff Kingsbury wants to be a head coach. Again. I 657 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 4: think that sometimes people they get a taste up in 658 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 4: there like that, ain't that, ain't that ain't me? And 659 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 4: you got to consider he's already like you know, yeah, yeah, exactly, 660 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 4: an oh oh, I forgot about the tech. Yeah, the tech, 661 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 4: the Texas tech years. Bro, he's he's one. 662 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 2: Hundred mil up, already, no marriage, not married with kids, 663 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 2: by the way. 664 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like, listen, I don't want all of that. No, 665 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 4: I love football. I want to do the football thing. 666 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 4: Let and make two three million dollars a year and 667 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 4: just let everybody else deal with all the major stuff. 668 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 4: No new new, And I think that it's funny because 669 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 4: everybody thinks that that all these coaches, because I know 670 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 4: plenty of coaches they're like, no, no, no, I'm good being 671 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 4: I'm good being a coordinated I do not want to 672 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 4: be a head coach. There are some that are that 673 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 4: are like that because they've either had a taste of 674 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 4: it or they're like, I don't want everything that comes 675 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 4: with that. And Cliff Kingsbury, he still has the luxury 676 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 4: of being thought of as an offensive genius sure, even 677 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 4: though the offense in Arizona wasn't genius. Like so, so 678 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 4: this is his opportunity to kind of, I think, get 679 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 4: back to his roots of things. And if he can 680 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 4: get back to the root of things, then I think 681 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 4: he'll be okay. But but if but if not, you know, 682 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 4: it is what it is. 683 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 2: What do you think of Ben Johnson, because you know, 684 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 2: I've heard some stuff and you know, certainly not sourced, 685 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: just through other media people talking about it on their platforms, 686 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: that maybe Ben Johnson was the kind of guy that 687 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 2: you were talking about, not that he never wants to 688 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 2: be a head coach, but maybe just that, hey, you know, 689 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: Washington is a little bit of a rebuild. I mean, 690 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 2: I think I saw one of the reports I forget 691 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 2: who put it out there, that basically he really wanted 692 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 2: the chargers. Once the chargers was obviously not going to 693 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: become available, he just wasn't that excited about, you know, 694 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 2: potentially his first and frankly maybe only opportunity. I mean, 695 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 2: I think that's the other thing too, is like if 696 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't work out, like there's no guarantee that you 697 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 2: get a second or third one, and you're certainly probably 698 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 2: not gonna have the pick of the litter. Do you 699 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 2: think with Ben Johnson it was as simple as, hey, 700 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 2: we got a good thing going in Detroit. I don't 701 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 2: think Washington is a quick fixer upper. There's frankly no 702 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 2: history of them having immediate success. Like what do you 703 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 2: think went into his decision to ultimately not even really 704 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: seriously seemingly pursue any jobs outside of Washington and then 705 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 2: obviously didn't really go too far down the road with that. 706 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 4: I can't speak to to a why, because honestly, it 707 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 4: doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because when 708 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 4: I'm looking at it, I'm like, in reality, that's the 709 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 4: job that you actually want, Like, that's the job that 710 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 4: you want because you got new ownership, and that new 711 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 4: ownership is going to be patient with you because they 712 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 4: know that they have to rebuild the culture. Look at 713 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 4: what the Dodgers have done and with Magic Johnson's group 714 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 4: as well. How they haven't fired Dave Roberts. 715 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. 716 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 4: So if if you're not gonna and my mind you 717 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 4: they've Dave Robinson's done, and you know, there there's some 718 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 4: things like this playoffs that was out of his control 719 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 4: because the pictures were hurt. But at the end of 720 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 4: the day, like you know, he's like people would have 721 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 4: fired him already regardless of whether you thought it was 722 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 4: his fault or not, as oh, it's not not getting 723 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 4: it done. So I do think that Washington having competent 724 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 4: leadership is important and an owner who's owned in other places. 725 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 4: So I think that that that actually creates more stability 726 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 4: to me in my mind, and maybe you know, as 727 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 4: they got further down it either Ben Johnson or the 728 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 4: team was like this, probably Hitt the best fit for us. 729 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 2: Very interesting stuff there. Ben Johnson's staying in Detroit. Dan 730 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: Campbell is the head coach. Dan Campbell, I keep saying it, 731 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: Dan Quinn is that if Dan Campbell is the head 732 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: coach of Washington, that'd be something we need to talk about. 733 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 2: But Dan Campbell is the head coach in Detroit, and 734 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 2: Dan Quinn is your new head coach in Washington, and 735 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 2: everything is trending towards Cliff Kingsbury as the offensive coordinator. 736 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday eritoris in alongside George Reister.

It's cold and 756 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 2: rainy here in LA by the way, not that anybody 757 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 2: cares outside of Los Angeles, but not much to do. 758 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 2: But I will say, by technicality, we sort of did 759 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 2: have football. It's because the Pro Bowl games were on. 760 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: George Reister, Oh did you bring the kids and wife 761 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,439 Speaker 2: around the TV and pop some popcorn and I watch 762 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 2: all your favorite Pro Bowl games. 763 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 4: The only thing, the only reason why I saw any 764 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,280 Speaker 4: of the Pro Bowls because I was doing my show 765 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 4: this this week and that was the only thing that 766 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 4: was on TV that was worth watching like that that night. 767 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 4: And I got a chance to see some of the 768 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 4: skill the skill competitions, because those are reasonably entertaining. And yeah, 769 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 4: that's about it. 770 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they were today. You said they were 771 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: during the week as well. I'm not being sarcastic. I 772 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: thought they were today. You said they were there during 773 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 2: the week too. 774 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, the the the skill competition where you had 775 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 4: like the quarterbacks throwing and the yeah, all of yeah, 776 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 4: all of that stuff was this week. 777 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 2: Oh okay, I don't know. I saw something about Danna Lavski, 778 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 2: you know, like me a Yukon. 779 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 4: Le Yeah that was the other day. 780 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw him tweeting about it today. 781 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 4: So he he won the Well he beat the record 782 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 4: for what the quarterbacks did in their petition. Everyone's like, 783 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 4: oh my god. And I was like, that just shows 784 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: that this is a comp that this is a you know, 785 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 4: an exhibition of sorts and no real reflection on how 786 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 4: well you can actually play quarterback. 787 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,240 Speaker 2: ESPN dot Com, by the way, the lead headline NFC 788 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 2: clinches back to back Pro Bowl wins with clutch fourth 789 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 2: and goal stop with Eli Manning with his arms up. 790 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 2: So I don't know what any of that means, but 791 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 2: let me ask you a question. I mean, so listen, 792 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 2: I get why if you're a superstar player. I'm sure 793 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 2: you know you have friends all over the league, But 794 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 2: I understand why if you're a superstar player, if you're 795 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, Joey Bosa or just trying 796 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 2: to think of good defensive players who aren't in the 797 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, why you like, you know, nobody wants to 798 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 2: take all these hits in the offseason. But two questions, 799 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 2: like why do we have to do something this week. 800 00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: I mean it was you know, I saw the highlight 801 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 2: and you know you got Baker Mayfield and see just 802 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 2: Stroud and all these guys together, Michael Ports. 803 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 11: What else? 804 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: Like do we have to do something? No? No, I'm 805 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: not saying like, do it two weeks after the season. 806 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, do we have to do something? 807 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 4: Like? 808 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: Is there is there something better we could be doing 809 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 2: with this Sunday even from the NFL. 810 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 811 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 2: I don't have an answer, but it's just I just 812 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 2: feel it feels weird that we're trying to continue this 813 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 2: tradition that nobody actually wants continue. That's all I'm trying 814 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:24,879 Speaker 2: to say. 815 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 4: See, that's the thing is is that so I knew 816 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 4: somebody who was down in Orlando and they said it 817 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 4: was actually a cool event. Really yeah. So now, But 818 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,280 Speaker 4: but here's the thing is is you have to remember 819 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 4: that the NFL is always going to do what's best 820 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 4: for the NFL. If they believe that this some kind 821 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 4: of way either turns into money, whether it's sponsorships and 822 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 4: and and growing the game in some sort of way, 823 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 4: they will continue to do it. If they're if they 824 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 4: are looking at the number and all of this stuff 825 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 4: and the convenience and everything else, and they're like this 826 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 4: isn't net negative then, see. But the the the biggest 827 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:17,479 Speaker 4: issue is this is that there is is that there's 828 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 4: been a significant change in how the Pro Bowl is 829 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 4: being perceived and the players who participate in it right, 830 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 4: and and that is troubling because last year when you 831 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 4: had Tyler Huntley in the role in the in the 832 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 4: Pro Bowl, that's a little bit you know, you're like, 833 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 4: hold on, buddy, like like let's settle down just a 834 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 4: teeny tiny bit a big because it feels like that's 835 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 4: one hundred percent wrong. And I know that you have, 836 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 4: you know, like the entire San Francisco forty nine ers 837 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 4: team on there, so they're not able to participate, but 838 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:14,280 Speaker 4: sometimes when you get so far down the the replacements, 839 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 4: it just doesn't have the same you know, feel as 840 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 4: you would have thought. 841 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 2: It's interesting because I remember I remember even when they 842 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 2: played the game, like I think it was like two 843 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: thousand and eight or two thousand and nine. I remember 844 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: like talking about it then. Now I haven't seen in 845 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 2: host radio, but it was just something I noticed. It 846 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 2: was like one year like Vince Young made the Pro Bowl, 847 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 2: and it was like Vince Young, he was terrible, Like, 848 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 2: you know whatever, we don't have to relitigate Vince Young's career, 849 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 2: but it's been going on forever. It just also feels 850 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 2: like George and I don't really understand why. In the 851 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 2: other sports, it just like you said, it feels like 852 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 2: there's less of a value on being named a pro 853 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 2: bowler in the NFL. 854 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 4: Now again, I understand, oh, now, yes, well, of course 855 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 4: for sure, because it used to be yeah, to where 856 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 4: if you got to be a pro bowler, my god, 857 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 4: like that was a thing, but now you are like, 858 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 4: it doesn't necessarily hold the same weight as being in 859 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 4: All Pro does, obviously, where Like if you're an All Pro, 860 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 4: that means that you are by far the best at 861 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 4: your position or one of the two best at your position. 862 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 4: And if you don't get the All Pro, but you 863 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 4: were in the conversation, that puts you in rare air. 864 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 4: Whereas the Pro Bowl it just doesn't amount to the 865 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 4: same way. I mean, because if you're looking at the 866 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 4: AFC quarterbacks, you would say, okay, Tua Lamar and Patrick Mahomes. 867 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 4: You're like, okay, that makes sense for this season. But 868 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 4: then you're like, hold on, Lamar Jackson is gonna win 869 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 4: the MVP, so that's an obvious TUA had a really 870 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 4: good good year. But Josh Allen is one of the 871 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 4: finalists for the MVP award. Sure, so how does this 872 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 4: make any sense? 873 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 2: It's yeah, go ahead, you say something. 874 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is. And those are the things that 875 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 4: make it a little bit questionable when you're trying to 876 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 4: really fully evaluate it and say, because now you're dealing 877 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,360 Speaker 4: with even more of a popularity contest than what goes 878 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 4: on in the NBA with Pro Bowls. 879 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 2: Why do you think it feels like so obviously we're 880 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 2: talking about the Pro Bowl, but we led the show. 881 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 2: You're a big NBA fan. By the way, Arnie Spaniard 882 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 2: just texted me, apparently in the NHL skills competition this weekend, 883 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 2: somebody didn't try and got booed. I don't think we 884 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 2: had much booing at the NFL. 885 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 4: I appreciate hockey fans for that. Good job, hockey fans, 886 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 4: good job doing that hockey. You go out there and 887 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 4: give a half fast effort, you should get booed. 888 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 2: Get punched in the face in hockey, good old days. Uh, 889 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 2: what about the NBA? Why do you think the NBA 890 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 2: it just feels like the All Star Game, Like I 891 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 2: get see like that. And that's where it's interesting to me, 892 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 2: is like I understand why an NFL guy like would 893 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 2: not be excited to be a pro bowler. Oh, I 894 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 2: just I just played for seventeen weeks. Now I gonna 895 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 2: go tackle uh you know, I gotta go uh tackle 896 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 2: Josh Allen in the open field again. Yeah, I'm good. 897 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 2: Like I can see why NFL guys are out, but 898 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 2: it feels like the NBA has been the same thing. 899 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: Not that guys are like that, they're like, they're not 900 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 2: gonna play the game, but they've they've changed the game, 901 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 2: They've gone a multiple formats. Nothing seems to work. The 902 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 2: ratings keep going down. Why do you think that's happened 903 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 2: in the NBA? Again, I understand the NFL, but I 904 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 2: don't really get the NBA in the. 905 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 4: Fallouf, they're not playing hard, that's the that's the issue. 906 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 4: And shake Gilders Alexander, who's a wonderful player. I was 907 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 4: off of him last year. Of course, he's early in 908 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 4: his career so he can always come come back. But 909 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,439 Speaker 4: he made me want to throw things at him when 910 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 4: at the end of the last year in the All 911 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 4: Star Game when fans weren't happy. The game was just 912 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 4: brutal to watch. There was no defense, all of this stuff, 913 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 4: and people were like, oh, and and they asked him. 914 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 4: He was like, oh, man, man, I thought the game 915 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,879 Speaker 4: was great. Number one. That means you have no awareness. 916 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 4: And that was his first All Star game, so you 917 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 4: don't know ish from Shinola. And then the and then 918 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 4: the second thing that he said was he said and 919 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 4: then they asked him how to make it better and 920 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 4: he said, I don't know. Money money talks what as 921 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 4: he's wearing a fur coat. I'm like, money talks. You're 922 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 4: the highest paid players in the entire world for any 923 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,520 Speaker 4: sport on on average, Like you got guys making fifty 924 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 4: million dollars and you're like, hey, money talks, Well, well 925 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,400 Speaker 4: we'll play harder. How about having some damn like y'all 926 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 4: play harder in pickup games? Yep. And that's the and 927 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:06,280 Speaker 4: that's the problem is that is that people will say, oh, 928 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 4: they don't want to get get hurt, blah blah blah, 929 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 4: they play hard and pickup games prior to the season, 930 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 4: like two three weeks prior prior to the season. They're 931 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 4: up at u C l A or or or or 932 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 4: in Thousand Oaks or wherever they're at hooping, I mean 933 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 4: knocking each other down, fouling and and and at that, 934 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 4: and that those they don't act like they would die 935 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 4: in a pillow fight. They're they're not calling those cheap 936 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 4: tiki tag fouls in there. They're there. You get knocked 937 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 4: down to get a foul. And so it is just 938 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 4: it is. It makes me want to throw things. And 939 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 4: I wanted to just throw cups. I wanted to have 940 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 4: the Buffalo Bills fans throw throw snowballs at Shay Gildeagsallex 941 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,400 Speaker 4: like shit, you junker, like you just got here, Like 942 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 4: go out there and play hard. This is for the fans. 943 00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 2: Well, and that's why you get paid. 944 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 4: So it's for the fans. Go out there and give 945 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,799 Speaker 4: them a good like like you don't have to go 946 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 4: out there and play like it's the NBA Finals, but 947 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,799 Speaker 4: damn well. 948 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 2: And it's funny because one, I have been to those 949 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 2: pickup games at UCLA and they are super competitive, like 950 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 2: dudes go hard. But also like what I was gonna 951 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: say is like why can't there just be like it's 952 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: about the fans, yes, but why can't there just be 953 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 2: pride about being the best, like thank you? Yeah, you know, 954 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 2: and and listen, I'm not doing the whole like back 955 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 2: in my day it was better. But I've heard, like, 956 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 2: you know, like as an example, like when Kobe used 957 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 2: to be in the All Star Game, like it was 958 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 2: like no, no, no, we don't lose to those guys like this, 959 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 2: this matters, like well, I don't know why. I don't 960 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,879 Speaker 2: know what inspired him other than to be the best. 961 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,720 Speaker 2: But that's the thing, is like I that I don't 962 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,480 Speaker 2: get and I know, like you know, everyone will say 963 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 2: like all the cliche like oh, it's the AAU culture, 964 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 2: everybody's buddies. It's like, I don't know, how about just 965 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 2: wanting to win? How about if you're Kevin Durant, rather 966 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,080 Speaker 2: than whining all off season that nobody thinks you're on 967 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 2: on par with Lebron James, why don't you check them 968 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 2: for thirty eight minutes? You know, It's like that is 969 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 2: a weird one to me, is like I get, I 970 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 2: can like or dislike a lot of things in sports, 971 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,479 Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl being good example, it used to be cool, 972 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,320 Speaker 2: it isn't anymore. I get but I get why people 973 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 2: don't want to play. I don't get why guys don't 974 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,719 Speaker 2: even try in the NBA All Star Game. Now again, 975 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 2: I think it's systematic. I think Adam Simmer's a clown. 976 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 2: But anyway, neither here nor there go ahead. 977 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,799 Speaker 4: I will say though, that the that the Pro Bowl Game, 978 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 4: the way they have it now with flag football, it's 979 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 4: significantly better. Sure it It actually makes people want to watch. 980 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 4: I think that. I I think that that, and maybe 981 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 4: it's because I've been around seven or seven so so 982 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 4: much that this is actually like it takes the physicality 983 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 4: out of it on for the most part, and you 984 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 4: just got to go out there and granted there's no 985 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 4: a lot for the lineman to be doing. But I 986 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 4: love it, dude, I love it. I think it's good. 987 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 4: I think that this is something that we want to watch. 988 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 4: And truthfully, I actually think that this is the future 989 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 4: of football and not and and not in terms of 990 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 4: doing away with the NFL. I think that there is 991 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 4: going to be a league for set. I think there's 992 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 4: a league for seven on seven and there's a league 993 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 4: for the NFL. Those are two separate things, and they 994 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 4: are they are great individually. 995 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: That is really interesting.

And 1134 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 4: they can put it in so far too. 1135 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 3: Oh damn. 1136 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 4: Who who would have thought? 1137 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 10: Who to thunk it? Who to thunk it? Back to 1138 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 10: you guys, thank you very much. 1139 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie conversation. 1140 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 4: Put it in the Rose Bowl though, because then they 1141 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 4: could have had a whole hundred down. 1142 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 5: Well there they are playing it so far, so that's 1143 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 5: probably why they did into an other Rose Bowl. 1144 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 2: But I. 1145 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 10: That's all that matters. 1146 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 4: Well, the Rose Bowl is great. It just needs to 1147 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 4: refresh like not and and I don't mean in term 1148 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 4: it needs to refresh on the seats, like they need 1149 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 4: to rip out every seat and reconfigure and reconfigure it 1150 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 4: the way they're more comfortable, because now they're too close 1151 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 4: to each other. And truthfully, it would be better for 1152 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,640 Speaker 4: u c l A if they if they make the 1153 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 4: if they make it a little bit smaller too, because 1154 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 4: they can't fill up one hundred thousand seats anyway, they 1155 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 4: have to them off. So if you turn it into 1156 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 4: a seventy five eighty thousand seat stadium instead of one 1157 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 4: hundred and five, now of a sudden, it's gonna be 1158 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 4: way more comfortable, way more comfortable. Because right now, when 1159 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 4: I go to the Rose Bowl, it is, uh, it's 1160 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 4: a tight fit. 1161 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,000 Speaker 2: I live right near the Rose Bowl, so it's convenient 1162 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 2: for me. 1163 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 10: But we're not telling you to move. We're just telling 1164 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 10: you that we want the seats. 1165 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 2: Bigger Aeron Well, and I was gonna say, George is right, 1166 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 2: those UCLA games, unless coach Prime is in town, are 1167 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 2: a tough tough ticket to sell. But anyway, that's not 1168 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 2: the Rose. 1169 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 4: They're a tough ticket to give away sometimes. 1170 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, I don't want to waste any 1171 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 2: more time. Let's get to the phones, and as he 1172 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 2: does every week around this time, do want to welcome 1173 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 2: in our Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider, also the host 1174 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 2: of the Inside the Birds podcast.

Adam, let me just start here. Before the break, 1177 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 2: George and I were talking we're both very pro Vegas guys. 1178 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 2: Assume you're going, Uh are you? Are you pro Vegas 1179 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 2: pro Vegas guy? 1180 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 12: Yeah, like Vegas. It's interesting. I mean, now that we 1181 01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 12: have a team there. I never thought my my wad 1182 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 12: of streams when I started Covernort League in nineteen ninety nine, 1183 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,080 Speaker 12: we would have an NFL team in Las Vegas. 1184 01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 3: But we do. We have the Super Bowl there. 1185 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 12: It's pretty remarkable because you have to remember, for many 1186 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 12: years the league wanted to have nothing to do with gambling, 1187 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,360 Speaker 12: and now they have a team there. They've invested in 1188 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 12: DraftKings and other gameling properties. It's kind of it's kind 1189 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 12: of shocking when you look at it, but I understand it. 1190 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 3: It's it's fascinating that you know that we're gonna have this. 1191 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, and I get there Tuesday for you know, I'm 1192 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,320 Speaker 12: on television for Sports Grade all week, so I look 1193 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 12: forward to it. But I'm still kind of kind of 1194 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,600 Speaker 12: shocked by this saw. I never thought it would happen, but. 1195 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 3: Here we are. 1196 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 4: And then now that there is a team in Vegas, 1197 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 4: there's gambling and and all of this stuff. They made 1198 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 4: sure to put the teams all the way in Lake 1199 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 4: Las Vegas and say it they can't step foot into 1200 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 4: casino until after How tightly is that going to be monitored? 1201 01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 4: And how like, you know, how hipocrite cool? Does that? 1202 01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 4: Does that sound when the league is taking so much 1203 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 4: money from gambling? Yeah? 1204 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 12: Look, I mean I already have because part of what 1205 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 12: I'm doing for sports Greate is to line up players 1206 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 12: for interviews, and they're allowed in, they're allowed them to 1207 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 12: radio row, but they can't gamble, so they we have 1208 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,000 Speaker 12: not given we've not been given the instructions of how 1209 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 12: that's gonna work. But I know there are some limitations. 1210 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 12: It's I mean, it's it's crazy. I mean to think 1211 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 12: that NFL players have some limitations when they're already in 1212 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 12: bed with these casinos. 1213 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 3: So it's it's really odd. 1214 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 12: Uh, it's something that's just uh, they have to work through. 1215 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 3: I understand that. 1216 01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,640 Speaker 12: I look, I'll talk to the officials when I get 1217 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 12: there on Tuesday afternoon, but yeah, it's gonna be it's 1218 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 12: gonna be interesting week because this is unprecedented. George, you know, 1219 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 12: on this topic, before we move on, this is something 1220 01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:48,920 Speaker 12: that they have to work through. 1221 01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 3: Uh, no question about it. 1222 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 12: You also have the players who have been suspended for 1223 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 12: for betting on football or sports in their complex, which 1224 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 12: they can't particularly out, say football, So that's something they 1225 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 12: have to continue to work through. 1226 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 2: Adam, let's pseudo stick with the theme of Las Vegas 1227 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 2: as much as you can share, because obviously don't want 1228 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 2: you to, you know, I want to protect your sources. 1229 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 2: Can you give us the scoop on Cliff Kingsbury? It 1230 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 2: was trending as the OC to Vegas. Now it appears 1231 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 2: as though trending towards the commanders. I don't think anything 1232 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 2: is official yet, but but how did we go from 1233 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 2: reports of this is basically done in Vegas to now 1234 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 2: all of a sudden it isn't. 1235 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, he actually I'm told he agreed to a deal, 1236 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,360 Speaker 12: they could not agree something in the contract. Now told 1237 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 12: by a league source that I know he wants to 1238 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,120 Speaker 12: control over his staffing, for his right for his offensive 1239 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 12: staff because he's an offensive coordinator and as one coaching 1240 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 12: source told me, he want to he runs a specific scheme. 1241 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 12: He needs to have coaches who understand that scheme. You 1242 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 12: can't walk into a situation where a he doesn't know 1243 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 12: the coaches be they don't know how to run a scheme. 1244 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 12: So that's I believe strongly that it has something to do 1245 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 12: with it. But here's my problem with it. All they 1246 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,320 Speaker 12: should have known this the Raiders when they talked to 1247 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 12: him like this is not the only to talk the Eagles. 1248 01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 12: Eagles really liked him, I'm told. So this is kind 1249 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 12: of a bizarre situation. So I heard the senior ball 1250 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 12: that the one team that was pretty hot on him 1251 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 12: after the Eagle situation broke down with the Raiders. So 1252 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 12: what what could other than staffing? I don't know what 1253 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 12: else could be. It's not like a monetary issue he's got. 1254 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,000 Speaker 12: He's still his money coming off from the the Cardinals. 1255 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,480 Speaker 12: So it's kind of an odd situation. One will monitor. 1256 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 12: And look, they've got a they've got a whole new 1257 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,920 Speaker 12: deal here. Let's not forget new general manager, new head coach, 1258 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 12: new coordinators. A lot's gonna look different for the Raiders 1259 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 12: this season. 1260 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and how much of this was I when it when? 1261 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 4: When it came down the cliff? And we we've also 1262 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 4: heard Chip Kelly's name floated floating, Yeah, yeah, is there 1263 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 4: any truth to him wanting out of U c l A. 1264 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,960 Speaker 4: Because we've heard his name connected with the Raiders and 1265 01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 4: with Washington. 1266 01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 12: Well, George, why would you interview for a job if 1267 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,920 Speaker 12: not interested? To think about that, Well, of course he's interested. 1268 01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 12: It's on a leverage situation. He's on nice there at UCLA. 1269 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 3: Now. 1270 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 12: The one thing we need to talk about, and this 1271 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 12: is going to be a factor over the next four 1272 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 12: to five years until they could figure this out. We 1273 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:18,080 Speaker 12: saw the Boston College head coach leave Halfley to become 1274 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 12: the Packers defense coordinator. He's taking a pay cut. Theoretically, 1275 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 12: why would he do that? Well, this nil stuff is legitimate. 1276 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 12: You know, if you're Chip Kelly, where you're making a 1277 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 12: lot of money, you would take your significant pay cut 1278 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 12: to be an NFL if it's a coordinator. So to me, 1279 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 12: that has got to be a big factory now going 1280 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,400 Speaker 12: on and where NFL teams will have some leverage here. 1281 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 12: By the way, that's another part to look at this. 1282 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,720 Speaker 12: We've all done contracts before. This is something to keep 1283 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 12: an eye on with these college coaches leaving it to 1284 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 12: take lesser jobs or less money just just be able 1285 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:55,160 Speaker 12: not have to deal with this stuff. 1286 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider, is joining 1287 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 2: us co host of the Inside the Bird podcast, also 1288 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 2: on Twitter at Kaplan NFL. Let's get let's stay with 1289 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 2: the carousel theme. Ben Johnson another one that I first 1290 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 2: of all, let me ask you this, Adam. 1291 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,240 Speaker 3: This is crazy, this one's interesting. 1292 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1293 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 5: Good? 1294 01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 2: And I was gonna ask the commanders publicly. It seemed 1295 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 2: as though they thought it was a done deal. Is 1296 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,879 Speaker 2: it normal to get till the end of the Lions 1297 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 2: season before you realize that it's going to take some 1298 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,720 Speaker 2: exorbitant demands. The only reason I ask is because if 1299 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 2: the Lions had made the Super Bowl, would they have 1300 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 2: waited two more weeks presuming that he was the head coach? 1301 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm very confused. That's why I'm bringing you on to 1302 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 2: clarify everything. Yees. 1303 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 12: So here's the thing. The command look, let's just call 1304 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,080 Speaker 12: like this commander's one of this guy. He was clearly 1305 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,920 Speaker 12: the favorite coming in the process. And as a matter 1306 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 12: of fact, as I reported for Profooable Network to start 1307 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 12: the season into end the season, it was Ben Johnson 1308 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 12: and everybody else. 1309 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 3: Now the Panthers wanted to hire him last year. 1310 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,760 Speaker 12: He about twelve hours before that interview, he decided that 1311 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 12: he needed another year of coaching. Skott kind of came 1312 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,560 Speaker 12: out of nowhere. He was the Lion's passing game coordinator, 1313 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 12: got promoted to OC. Is brilliant, very smart guy, good 1314 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:10,719 Speaker 12: energy and passion for the job. But Washington was traveling 1315 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 12: to Detroit and they were going to interview him, and 1316 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,640 Speaker 12: he said, you know what, I'm not going to do this. 1317 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 12: He didn't feel right about it. That's what I was 1318 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 12: told privately. That's pretty much where it was. 1319 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,400 Speaker 3: Now. I know there's a lot of information out there. 1320 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 3: There's a lot. It's interesting. Once the situation. 1321 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 12: Goes down, then you see all sorts of stuff about 1322 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 12: accusations and so forth. He'll be the number one guy 1323 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,080 Speaker 12: next year. It's not going to change now, I will 1324 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 12: tell you. The one thing I warned people is yes, 1325 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 12: he's got great energy, but there was a command issue 1326 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 12: with him. How does he connect with players? Can he 1327 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 12: get to buy in? You're not hiring a coordinator, You're 1328 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 12: hiring a leader of men. Georgie knowses from being a 1329 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,800 Speaker 12: former player. Command is a major issue for coaches. I 1330 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 12: don't care how smart you are. If you can't if 1331 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 12: you can't guys to buy in, you're not gonna be 1332 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:53,679 Speaker 12: there very long. 1333 01:09:55,400 --> 01:10:01,439 Speaker 4: That is a fact. Are you surprised any well? At 1334 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,759 Speaker 4: the fact that Bill Belichick did not get hired in. 1335 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 3: This cycle, it minor, not a major surprise. 1336 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,639 Speaker 12: I mean, if you look at the failure that Bill 1337 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 12: had with the quarterback position on his offense last two seasons, 1338 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,120 Speaker 12: I've always been a defender of his, but I couldn't 1339 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 12: two years ago. I've been very outspoken that that was 1340 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 12: a major mistake by having Matt Patricia call the plays. 1341 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,800 Speaker 12: Patricia never called plays before, never developed a quarterback. That 1342 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,480 Speaker 12: was an awful decision for a billion person by Bill Belichick. 1343 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 12: That is why he doesn't have a job right now. 1344 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,360 Speaker 12: I'm telling you it's plus control. He would want a 1345 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 12: certain amount of control that probably would not have gone 1346 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,800 Speaker 12: down well with Atlanta where they have a general manager 1347 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 12: Terry Fino's control. A lamb did like Bill, but after 1348 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 12: that second interview was not a good sign. Two when 1349 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 12: they continue to hire interview excuse me, other head coach 1350 01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 12: of candidates. 1351 01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 3: So that's why he didn't get the. 1352 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,679 Speaker 2: Job, George, excuse me, Adam. Last one for me, Adam 1353 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,719 Speaker 2: Kaplan Fox Sports Radio, NFL Insider joining us. The Inside 1354 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 2: the Birds podcast is where you can hear him and 1355 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 2: also on Twitter at Kaplan NFL. You know Listen, you 1356 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 2: got a week you're gonna be breaking down this game 1357 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 2: from every angle, but just give us maybe an angle 1358 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 2: or to something that could be a factor that maybe 1359 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,600 Speaker 2: people aren't yet talking about, because again everyone's gonna, you know, 1360 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 2: talk this thing to death over the next seven days. 1361 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,599 Speaker 2: But anything going into this one that maybe's a little 1362 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,440 Speaker 2: bit underrated, undervaluable. 1363 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:18,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1364 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 12: From talking to other teams that have gone against the Niners, 1365 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 12: they always tell me, throw against Shavarius whoever's playing next 1366 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 12: opposite former Chiefs corner Shaverius Ward is number seven, he's 1367 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 12: the starting corner. He's a left cornerback for the Niners. 1368 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,799 Speaker 12: It's easier seven down. The Niners have the best defensive 1369 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,679 Speaker 12: line in football. If you could protect, whether it's Ambry 1370 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 12: Thomas number twenty or number two, Diamador Lenoir, that's who 1371 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,040 Speaker 12: you throw against. Teams have had success. Also if the 1372 01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 12: game's close, you could run against them. The Niners have 1373 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,080 Speaker 12: got gash sometimes against the run. But the problems are 1374 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,160 Speaker 12: always ahead. Save the last two games, Aaron Jones ran 1375 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 12: well against them. You could run against them. It's just 1376 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 12: guys you can fall behind, and that that to me, 1377 01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 12: has been the problem. When you're against when you go 1378 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,880 Speaker 12: against the Niners, you just you got to make them 1379 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 12: play from behind. You saw what the You saw what 1380 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,719 Speaker 12: Montgomery did, Jamior Gibbs did they look and Jamison Williams 1381 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,960 Speaker 12: on the reverse, he scored all through. This guy scored, 1382 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:14,520 Speaker 12: so you could run against them. And there's certain matchups 1383 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 12: which we'll talk about next Sunny, if I were on together, 1384 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 12: that you get to exploit, Adam. 1385 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 4: There's been some obvious pushback on, you know, the Pro Bowl, 1386 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,800 Speaker 4: the significance. They keep trying to find ways around it. 1387 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 4: And now at the Senior Bowl everybody practiced and then 1388 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 4: guys didn't didn't play in the game. Are those two 1389 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,839 Speaker 4: things becoming a problem for the league? 1390 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,680 Speaker 12: Well, I mean the Pro Bowl and obviously Suoner Bowl 1391 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 12: completely different for various reasons. 1392 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,680 Speaker 3: Now pro ball, the flag football is interesting. I'm an enthusiast. 1393 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 12: I've actually done play by play for the American Flag 1394 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 12: FOOTBA League, which is the biggest league in the country. 1395 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,760 Speaker 3: So I like flag and it's interesting. The players seem 1396 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 3: to enjoy it. 1397 01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,600 Speaker 12: But you're right, George, they're trying to do anything and 1398 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 12: everything they can again to have popularity with it. We'll 1399 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 12: see what the ratings look like. We'll see then that'll 1400 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 12: let me determine whether they'll contunite in the Pro Ball. 1401 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 12: Now far as the Senior Bowl, this is interesting. Boy, 1402 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,680 Speaker 12: Michael Pennix decided not to play in the game. There 1403 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,680 Speaker 12: was a lineman, I know, there's a defensive line and 1404 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 12: the scout told me who decided after two days he 1405 01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 12: was not going to practice, go through the walk through 1406 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:24,200 Speaker 12: or playing the game. 1407 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 3: So this is a new one. This has never happened before. Typically, 1408 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:28,320 Speaker 3: guys just back. 1409 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 12: Out if they don't want to risk anything, they don't 1410 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,000 Speaker 12: They don't participate in the practice and don't show up 1411 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 12: the mobile. George, this is a new thing. Yeah, this one, unfortunately, 1412 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,280 Speaker 12: is probably going to be a trending agents. And now 1413 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,760 Speaker 12: we're gonna hold these guys out of the game because 1414 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,400 Speaker 12: quite frankly, game meants next to nothing. 1415 01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:41,640 Speaker 3: It's all about the practices. 1416 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 2: He is Adam Kaplan our Fox Sports Radio NFL Inside 1417 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,960 Speaker 2: are also the co host of the Inside the Birds podcast. 1418 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:52,479 Speaker 2: You can follow him on Twitter at Kaplan NFL.

Because but this I think lends itself to fanage 1541 01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 4: in college sports is that most people are fans of 1542 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,519 Speaker 4: places that they either went to or that their or 1543 01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 4: that their family went to. That's like US USC fans. 1544 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 4: I think the majority of them did not go to USC. 1545 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 2: The important thing here is that Duke basketball is just 1546 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,040 Speaker 2: a scourge awful and that's what it is. And I 1547 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 2: will say I grew up in con Etiquette, so it's 1548 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 2: a lot of like Northeast, like New Jersey, like you 1549 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,599 Speaker 2: don't really have a football college team, so you don't 1550 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 2: really have a really you don't really have a college 1551 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 2: basketball team.

It's just like you're front 1554 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:20,040 Speaker 2: running it is, George, I can't believe you've never heard 1555 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 2: of that. It's like, uh, you google it during the 1556 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 2: break because yeah, Notre Dame football. Duke basketball is a 1557 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 2: very popular thing. So you know what's not popular. Adam 1558 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,320 Speaker 2: Kathln just talked about it.

By the way, 1582 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,360 Speaker 2: if anybody missed our one, talk a little bit about 1583 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,400 Speaker 2: lebron and New York all that we obviously hit on 1584 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,759 Speaker 2: a ton of the NFL coaching carousel, including with Adam Kaplan, 1585 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,719 Speaker 2: and one of the topics that you brought up with Adam, George, 1586 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 2: was the idea that Chip Kelly, the current head coach 1587 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 2: at UCLA, is currently interviewing for NFL offensive coordinator jobs. 1588 01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:15,519 Speaker 2: Goes without saying, highly paid head coach seemingly willing to 1589 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,720 Speaker 2: leave college to take what would ultimately be a demotion. This, 1590 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 2: of course, just comes what a day or two after 1591 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 2: Boston College head coach Jeff Haffley did take a demotion, 1592 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 2: deciding to leave Boston College to become the head coach 1593 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 2: of the Green Bay Packers. George, you know one of 1594 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,479 Speaker 2: the reasons I love doing shows with you. You're as 1595 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 2: passionate about college football as I am. What do you 1596 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,839 Speaker 2: make of this news? Is this a sign that college 1597 01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 2: football is going you know where in a handbasket? Are 1598 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 2: we all screwed? George? Are all the coaches leaving college 1599 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,320 Speaker 2: football forever and ever? 1600 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 4: Answer is no, This doesn't bother me one single bit. 1601 01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 4: Are there some problems in college football? Yes, right, but 1602 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 4: older coaches or coaches been in it for a while 1603 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 4: trying to run away from it. That doesn't bother me. 1604 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,920 Speaker 4: How there is going to be no shortage errand of 1605 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 4: coaches lining up to take five seven million dollars a 1606 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,200 Speaker 4: year jobs. There's gonna be no shortage. Are you going 1607 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 4: to get rid of some coaching names? Yes, because they're 1608 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,720 Speaker 4: gonna be like, Bro, I'm a hundred million up. I 1609 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 4: don't want to deal with this, And that's perfectly fine. 1610 01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:38,799 Speaker 4: Like the game has changed, and the biggest problem facing 1611 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 4: college football ear is not the coaches leaving, because how 1612 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 4: many of them can actually go to the NFL. If 1613 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 4: Chip could be in the NFL right right now with 1614 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 4: interviewing for all these jobs, he probably would. So you 1615 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,920 Speaker 4: gotta get a job to be able to take a job. 1616 01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 4: So all of these coaches can't just run to the 1617 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,639 Speaker 4: NFL because, uh, college coaches, particularly at the head coaches spot, 1618 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 4: they haven't been able to just run into, you know, 1619 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 4: just get NFL jobs, and they haven't had a ton 1620 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,280 Speaker 4: of success in them for the most part anyway. So 1621 01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 4: it's not like that that door is just wide open everybody. Hey, 1622 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 4: I want to go, I'm out. That's the first thing. 1623 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 4: Second thing is like people want to blame the transfer 1624 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:27,720 Speaker 4: portal in the NIL Aaron, but how much of this 1625 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,120 Speaker 4: do you think is this players sitting here looking at 1626 01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 4: their coaches who have signed huge contracts and contract extensions 1627 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 4: and then say ah, nah, yeah, I'm here in the 1628 01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,680 Speaker 4: Notre Dame, but nah tomorrow I'm out, I'm at I'm 1629 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:48,559 Speaker 4: at lsu Go Tigers. I mean, how much of that 1630 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 4: do you think has crept over into the players and 1631 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 4: them saying, oh, coach ain't coach ain't loyal? What the 1632 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 4: hell am I gonna be loyal? 1633 01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,639 Speaker 2: So I'm so glad you said all that because your 1634 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,800 Speaker 2: takeaway is actually my takeaway as well. And I think 1635 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 2: it was Wednesday night into Thursday that we found out 1636 01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 2: that Jeff Haffley was leaving Boston College. And a lot 1637 01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 2: of people that I really respect in our business, you know, 1638 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,559 Speaker 2: like like cover college football, love college football like you 1639 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,280 Speaker 2: and I do. I saw so much of the Oh, 1640 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,680 Speaker 2: this is a sign of the times. The sport is 1641 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 2: so out of control. Let me say this, Georgia. And 1642 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 2: again this is a little bit insidery, and I know 1643 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 2: you know this, but for the audience, two things. One, 1644 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 2: Jeff Haffley was twenty two and twenty six through four 1645 01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 2: years at Boston College. I would also so. 1646 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 4: What was gonna be it for him anyway, That's what I. 1647 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 2: Was gonna say what he was on the hot seat. 1648 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 2: But two, here's the other thing. Boston College is a 1649 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:50,439 Speaker 2: really hard freaking job in the NIL era. Yep uh 1650 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,080 Speaker 2: for like I don't need to go into it, but listen, 1651 01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:58,280 Speaker 2: private school, small school, Catholic school, pro sports town. They're 1652 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 2: not competing with Alabama and Tennessee and Ohio State in 1653 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 2: the NIL space. And that's what truly matters. And so 1654 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 2: and I've said this on other platforms. I said it 1655 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,599 Speaker 2: on my own show last night. If Ryan Day left 1656 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State to be the quarterbacks coach of the Atlanta Falcons, like, yeah, 1657 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 2: that's when we have to start raising warning sides, you know, 1658 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,759 Speaker 2: like like if Kirby Smart wants to be the DB's 1659 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 2: coach of the Tampa Bay Bodies dB coach, yes, yeah. 1660 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 4: But like even if he did, Aaron, so what somebody 1661 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 4: is there's going to be there are plenty of good 1662 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,360 Speaker 4: coaches that do not have jobs. Well I'm sorry that 1663 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 4: don't have head coaching jobs, and somebody will be happy 1664 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 4: to take it. 1665 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what I was gonna say. Is I 1666 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,559 Speaker 2: think I first realized this like probably what eighteen months 1667 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 2: ago two years ago when coach k retired and it's like, 1668 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 2: oh my god, this icon is leaving. And then immediately 1669 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 2: it was like the next day, oh, John Shires the 1670 01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 2: head coach. Oh, somebody wants this job. And guess what 1671 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 2: if you know, hey, by the way, Jim Harbaugh just 1672 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 2: left for the na Cheron Moore, who was very well compensated, 1673 01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 2: but he went making five and change. Now he's making 1674 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 2: five and change. He's got a five year deal and 1675 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,360 Speaker 2: no matter how it goes, his family is set up 1676 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 2: for life. And if he's terrible, guess what the next 1677 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 2: guy's gonna get even more than that whatever. So like, 1678 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 2: I think that is the underrated part of it. And 1679 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 2: then I think the other thing, too, Georgian, and you 1680 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 2: literally took all the talking points right out of my 1681 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:27,240 Speaker 2: mouth is the older guys. And it's not right or wrong, 1682 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,160 Speaker 2: it's just fact. They're just used to doing it a 1683 01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,639 Speaker 2: certain way. And so the new guys that haven't made 1684 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,960 Speaker 2: seventy million dollars over the course of their life, that 1685 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,760 Speaker 2: do know, Hey, I'm thirty nine years old and I 1686 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 2: got to make a living for the next thirty years. 1687 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 2: They'll adjust. And you know who, I believe right now. 1688 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,840 Speaker 2: The best example of this is in college sports. It's 1689 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,639 Speaker 2: a guy you had on your podcast who coaches your 1690 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 2: alma mater, Dan Lanning. He's unbelievable and he's just he 1691 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 2: just rolls with the il okay. And by the way, 1692 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 2: I know Oregon set up well because of Film Night whatever, 1693 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 2: but oh, this is the new world. Oh the portal, Well, 1694 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 2: we have a lot to offer. Guess what, So we 1695 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,400 Speaker 2: love the portal. We love NIL because we have a 1696 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,920 Speaker 2: lot to offer. And guess what, there's good. You know, 1697 01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 2: Kaylin de Boor in Alabama is gonna be the same thing. 1698 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,479 Speaker 2: He'll figure out NIL. He'll figure out recruiting and he'll 1699 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 2: be awesome. And Kirby Smart's figured it out, and Ryan 1700 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:23,600 Speaker 2: Days figured and you go out and on downlist. So 1701 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 2: I'm going along. But I think Dan Lenny is the 1702 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 2: best example of this is the new world. Let me 1703 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 2: just figure out how it works and let me be 1704 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,760 Speaker 2: great at it. And I know Dan Lenny hasn't had 1705 01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 2: the huge moment yet, but I just think he, more 1706 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:36,880 Speaker 2: than anybody else, just gets like, this is where we are. 1707 01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,280 Speaker 2: We can either whine about it or just deal with it. 1708 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:45,679 Speaker 4: George, Yeah, and the the dinosaurs may have to go. 1709 01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:48,559 Speaker 2: I mean they all go to some point, right. 1710 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 4: Yeah. This is no different than baseball people being like, 1711 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 4: I can't watch this anymore. All this bat flipping and celebrating. 1712 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 4: This is not how the game's supposed to be played. 1713 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:05,719 Speaker 4: Oh god, there there's there's there's no difference. You either 1714 01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 4: adapt to the times or or you get run off 1715 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:14,080 Speaker 4: the track. There's there's no other You either get on 1716 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,719 Speaker 4: board with the change or try to steer the change. 1717 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,679 Speaker 4: But I think the biggest threat throw to college football, Aaron, 1718 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,600 Speaker 4: is the n C double A. N C double A 1719 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:26,360 Speaker 4: has to go. 1720 01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:28,080 Speaker 3: Uh. 1721 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:31,400 Speaker 4: The college football needs to separate itself. Like Chip Kelly said, 1722 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:34,599 Speaker 4: it needs to have its own governing body. I've been 1723 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 4: saying this long before Chip set it. But it needs 1724 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,559 Speaker 4: to have its own governing body. Somebody who can make 1725 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,240 Speaker 4: the rules and enforce the rules in short order, not 1726 01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,800 Speaker 4: in two three years from now when all the people 1727 01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:53,639 Speaker 4: who did it are gone, who can dole out punishment quickly, 1728 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 4: is nimble and somebody who's doing the best thing for 1729 01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:01,559 Speaker 4: the sport. Because the best for college football, which which 1730 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 4: is the revenue generating sport which pays for most other 1731 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 4: sports on campus besides men's basketball and in some places 1732 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 4: women's basketball as well. And then there are a handful 1733 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,240 Speaker 4: of like baseball teams that may pay for themselves or 1734 01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,760 Speaker 4: you know, like Utah gymnastics, like the like the one 1735 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:26,120 Speaker 4: off program. But here's the But the major issue is 1736 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:28,719 Speaker 4: is that there has to be somebody who's doing what's 1737 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:32,120 Speaker 4: best for the sport, because what's best for college football 1738 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 4: is not the same thing that's best for every sport. 1739 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 4: Because the because people would act like the best thing 1740 01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,800 Speaker 4: for college football is to move I'm sorry, the best 1741 01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,680 Speaker 4: thing for all of these sports is to move conferences, 1742 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:55,880 Speaker 4: but it's not. It is best for baseball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, 1743 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,200 Speaker 4: all of those things to be regional, and then football 1744 01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,679 Speaker 4: to be a national thing because traveling one day every 1745 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 4: other week is not a big deal compared to you know, 1746 01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,599 Speaker 4: games that have teams that have two three games a week. 1747 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:12,799 Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what, George, there was an interesting 1748 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 2: piece of news that came out on Friday that may 1749 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,240 Speaker 2: point to the fact that we are soon going to 1750 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 2: be getting to something a little bit more stable in 1751 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 2: college sports. We'll discuss that next. Aaron Torres in for 1752 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,280 Speaker 2: Dan Byer alongside George Reister.

Sueorge Taylor, Yeah, I feel 1759 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 2: like she's been in the news a little bit lately. 1760 01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,000 Speaker 2: By the way, since everybody else is doing the take, 1761 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,840 Speaker 2: it's your show, George. Are you outraged that that Taylor 1762 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:05,680 Speaker 2: Swift gets like thirty seconds of airtime of game? Do 1763 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,679 Speaker 2: you care? Do you not care? 1764 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:12,840 Speaker 4: We're yeah, no, it makes no difference to me, dude, 1765 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 4: and I honestly, it's frustrating that people have made this 1766 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:22,920 Speaker 4: even a thing, like nobody cares every single time that 1767 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 4: they show Brock Party's parents after he shows the or 1768 01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 4: that that Jerry Jones ugly self, the old old ugly 1769 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:36,720 Speaker 4: self gets shown eight hundred times a game, and they're like, well, 1770 01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:38,760 Speaker 4: but it's different, he's part of the game. No, he's not. 1771 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:43,120 Speaker 4: He's literally not. They show Robert Kraft the same amount 1772 01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 4: of time like I mean, of course, they show Jerry 1773 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 4: a little bit more. But they show all of these 1774 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 4: other things. Do you understand that there a play is 1775 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:58,760 Speaker 4: only seven seconds long? Sure, and there is you know, 1776 01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:04,080 Speaker 4: like forty seconds in between plays from the starter one 1777 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,640 Speaker 4: play to the next year looking at forty seconds. There's timeouts, 1778 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 4: there's timeouts on the field, there's reviews, there's everything else. 1779 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:17,719 Speaker 4: There's touchdowns, celebrations, crowd reactions, like how are you upset 1780 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:20,080 Speaker 4: about this? And they're like, I just want to watch 1781 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:24,680 Speaker 4: the game. You are watching the game. Nobody is impacting 1782 01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 4: the game that you love. Just close your eyes for 1783 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 4: ten seconds.

By the way, I'll also say this, 1819 01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:23,040 Speaker 2: like I did see like pretty high profile people in 1820 01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:26,000 Speaker 2: our business, like you know, there's people out there that 1821 01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 2: really believe that this is rig to get Taylor Swift's 1822 01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,120 Speaker 2: boyfriend in the super Bowl. It's like, I don't think 1823 01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:36,160 Speaker 2: anybody that actually follows sports beliefs that, like I think that, like, yeah, 1824 01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:37,360 Speaker 2: maybe the. 1825 01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:43,559 Speaker 4: No and the stats don't support it. It's not it's 1826 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:49,400 Speaker 4: not even true. Like the the the Chiefs have the 1827 01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 4: least or like one of the teams in the NFL 1828 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:57,400 Speaker 4: that have the least ambound of penalties called for them, Well, 1829 01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 4: well sorry against the other team. That that the other 1830 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:04,880 Speaker 4: teams get penalized less when they're playing against the Chiefs, 1831 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 4: like like they are either twenty six or thirty. First 1832 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:12,240 Speaker 4: I saw Nick Wright to talking about it the other 1833 01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:19,759 Speaker 4: day and penalties called on the other team. You're like, okay, 1834 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 4: so if they were rigged, don't you think that they 1835 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:27,840 Speaker 4: would have called past interference for Marquez Valdez scantling or 1836 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:33,280 Speaker 4: not called that penalty on Kadarius Tony and actually made 1837 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,240 Speaker 4: sure that he had a good wide wide receiver corps 1838 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 4: or something. 1839 01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:40,799 Speaker 2: Or Zay Flowers broke the goal line, like, yes, there 1840 01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 2: was plenty, there was plenty of No, that's what cracks 1841 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:46,639 Speaker 2: me up. It's like, you know, listen, I, like I said, 1842 01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:48,519 Speaker 2: I don't believe that anyone that actually watched the game 1843 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 2: believe that. I think it's you know, weirdos that spend 1844 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,200 Speaker 2: too much time on like message boards late late at 1845 01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:56,280 Speaker 2: night and not like fun message boards like a college 1846 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:57,799 Speaker 2: football at s, Like they're. 1847 01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 4: Like sixteen chan yeah, chan eight chan, sixteen chan yeah. 1848 01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 2: And it's like I just I just go back to 1849 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,519 Speaker 2: even if you somehow believe that that's somehow a thing, 1850 01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:11,120 Speaker 2: It's like, if you watch the game, it was like 1851 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,120 Speaker 2: the Ravens had a meltdown of epic proportions. It was 1852 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:21,880 Speaker 2: like every single thing, play calling, turnovers, penalties, Oh oh yeah, 1853 01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 2: it's it's a deep state secret to get Taylor Swift 1854 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,400 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl by having Zay Flowers throw the 1855 01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 2: ball on a defensive back after he catches it and 1856 01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,599 Speaker 2: then steps over it for the most egregious taunting penalty 1857 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,040 Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL. You know, it was 1858 01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 2: a bad play by Jay Flowers when everyone on Twitter agreed, 1859 01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's taunting, because nobody on Twitter ever agrees 1860 01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 2: with that anything. And they were all like, oh, yeah, 1861 01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:48,400 Speaker 2: he probably should not have done that. 1862 01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 4: Hey, and do you know it is worse? Is that? 1863 01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 4: Then they tried to point out the Super Bowl from 1864 01:37:55,760 --> 01:38:00,960 Speaker 4: last year and that and that holding call it on 1865 01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,840 Speaker 4: the Eagles. It was a holding call. The man who 1866 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:09,320 Speaker 4: did it admitted it too, And then they're like, oh, oh, 1867 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:12,240 Speaker 4: how about the Bengals game before that? He hit Patrick 1868 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:16,719 Speaker 4: Maholes out of bounds? Like what what are we talking about? 1869 01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:22,320 Speaker 4: Like those were actual penalties. It's not even was It 1870 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:27,080 Speaker 4: wasn't even a like neither one of those things was 1871 01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,599 Speaker 4: was where you're like, oh, that's super ticky tack. No, 1872 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 4: like they're legitimate penalties. 1873 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,719 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Super Bowl next week, by the way, maybe 1874 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,840 Speaker 2: final segment.

Yeah, but it is crazy. 2108 01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:32,200 Speaker 2: And the reclassification stuff, it really started in basketball, but 2109 01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 2: probably nine ten years ago. I remember Carl Anthony Towns 2110 01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:36,880 Speaker 2: did it, but it was literally like Karl Anthony Towns 2111 01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:40,320 Speaker 2: ended up being the number one pick after he reclassified 2112 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,160 Speaker 2: into his correct class. And then Marvin Bagley did it, 2113 01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:47,280 Speaker 2: and then you started seeing like everybody do it. And 2114 01:49:47,320 --> 01:49:49,519 Speaker 2: now it's starting to become a thing in football as well, 2115 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,120 Speaker 2: because obviously nil is a thing now and it's like, yep, 2116 01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,160 Speaker 2: well crap, I mean I can make whatever six fine? 2117 01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:59,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, dude, dude, there are like like I'll never 2118 01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:06,680 Speaker 4: for forget when oh who was it the college basketball 2119 01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:13,719 Speaker 4: analyst for ESPN, The Tall Jay is? His name escaped 2120 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:17,720 Speaker 4: me right now. He's he's like the main one and 2121 01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:21,519 Speaker 4: he always speaks out on topics. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, 2122 01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:25,599 Speaker 4: oh Lord's mercy. So so anyways, Jay was doing one 2123 01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:31,000 Speaker 4: of Duke's games and Cassius Stanley had just turned twenty 2124 01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:34,160 Speaker 4: as a freshman. Ye yes, and he was like twenty 2125 01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:38,920 Speaker 4: year old freshman Cassius Stanley. And I felt like when 2126 01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,840 Speaker 4: when I heard that that that was a little bit 2127 01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:46,080 Speaker 4: of a of a like I just want you guys 2128 01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:46,679 Speaker 4: to note this. 2129 01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:53,439 Speaker 6: Oh oh yeah, and you like where you have high 2130 01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:59,720 Speaker 6: school kids playing at nineteen in some states and you know, 2131 01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:04,200 Speaker 6: and it's not a level playing field for everybody, and 2132 01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:04,960 Speaker 6: it's one of those. 2133 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,840 Speaker 4: But but now it's to the point now for like 2134 01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:14,920 Speaker 4: high level players in football where where it's like the 2135 01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:20,439 Speaker 4: Tour de France with Lance Armstrong where he was doping 2136 01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:24,240 Speaker 4: or epo or whatever. It was, right, but so was 2137 01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:26,720 Speaker 4: everybody else. So it was a level playing field. So 2138 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,559 Speaker 4: how can you be upset. And now it feels like 2139 01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:32,679 Speaker 4: that so many people are doing it that those who 2140 01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:36,000 Speaker 4: would not have done it feel like that they are 2141 01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,600 Speaker 4: being put in a situation where they have to, particularly 2142 01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:44,920 Speaker 4: with the changes in high school recruiting and the scholarships 2143 01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:48,840 Speaker 4: available or not available because of it. Yeah, because of 2144 01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:52,000 Speaker 4: the transfer portal and high school players getting recruited less. 2145 01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for people don't follow like I just love 2146 01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:57,719 Speaker 2: college sports, so I know all this stuff. But yeah, 2147 01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:00,639 Speaker 2: with the advent of the transfer portal, most schools prefer 2148 01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:03,240 Speaker 2: to take an older player who's established at the college level, 2149 01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:06,519 Speaker 2: and it's really impacting high school recruiting. So I have 2150 01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:09,200 Speaker 2: heard all sorts of horror stories about kids that would 2151 01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:11,559 Speaker 2: have had, you know, a handful of offers even three 2152 01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:14,640 Speaker 2: four years ago, that now don't have any offers, or 2153 01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:16,519 Speaker 2: D two or whatever. I hadn't thought about the fact 2154 01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,599 Speaker 2: that you stay back a grade now to to try 2155 01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:19,519 Speaker 2: and help your cause there. 2156 01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:24,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, and if you can reclassify prime prime example. 2157 01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,360 Speaker 4: And I went through this with with my son too, 2158 01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:31,400 Speaker 4: who was only a full time starter his his senior year, right, 2159 01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:38,840 Speaker 4: And how the recruiting landscape has changed because so many 2160 01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:43,200 Speaker 4: kids commit so much earlier now that that schools that 2161 01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:46,200 Speaker 4: would ordinarily, you know, if you had a if you 2162 01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:49,439 Speaker 4: broke broke out and had a great senior year like 2163 01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:54,439 Speaker 4: like he did, you would have significantly more offers. Right. Oh, 2164 01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,720 Speaker 4: and and there there's a kid now that went to 2165 01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,559 Speaker 4: Saint John Bosco. His name is Kate Sanchez, who was 2166 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:04,839 Speaker 4: the starting quarterback at one of the top five teams 2167 01:53:04,880 --> 01:53:09,519 Speaker 4: in the nation. Right sure, and this was his first 2168 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:13,960 Speaker 4: year starting. He's got He was the player of the 2169 01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:19,200 Speaker 4: year for the CIF Southern Southern Section thirty three hundred 2170 01:53:19,240 --> 01:53:23,519 Speaker 4: yards thirty five touchdowns. And I think his only offer 2171 01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:26,840 Speaker 4: that he can commit to right now, from what I've 2172 01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:30,080 Speaker 4: seen and heard, is like Columbia and maybe Fordham. 2173 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:33,000 Speaker 2: Wow, and he just senior this year. 2174 01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:33,519 Speaker 7: Yep. 2175 01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:35,679 Speaker 2: Wow, it's crazy. 2176 01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 4: You would have never thought that that would be the case, 2177 01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,599 Speaker 4: and that didn't used to be the case. And so 2178 01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:48,600 Speaker 4: now parents feel a lot more pressure and they're like, 2179 01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:50,920 Speaker 4: hold up, because he was a kid who waited his 2180 01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:56,360 Speaker 4: turn at Bosco and waited until his senior year. He 2181 01:53:56,560 --> 01:54:00,160 Speaker 4: got a chance to start, played extremely well and then 2182 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:03,160 Speaker 4: ended up not with what a mind you he may 2183 01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:06,320 Speaker 4: make it to the NFL, or you know, do something great. 2184 01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:10,240 Speaker 4: So it may work out perfectly for him, but it's 2185 01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:15,599 Speaker 4: the expectation and things changed around him, so now parents 2186 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:18,800 Speaker 4: are much more focused on hold up. I gotta play 2187 01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:22,240 Speaker 4: early because if you want to get recruited, now you 2188 01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:26,840 Speaker 4: the recruiting process starts a lot earlier, which makes it 2189 01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:31,519 Speaker 4: a little more incorrect. But there's a lot of pressure 2190 01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:32,120 Speaker 4: in that now. 2191 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:34,480 Speaker 2: George, I'll tell you what, man. I can talk to 2192 01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:37,440 Speaker 2: you about this stuff all day.

What do you make of this matchup? 2269 01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:28,400 Speaker 2: Obviously to rematch up a few years ago, but what 2270 01:58:28,440 --> 01:58:29,680 Speaker 2: are the one or two things that you're kind of 2271 01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:31,400 Speaker 2: intrigued by and looking for in this game? 2272 01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:37,400 Speaker 4: Oh? Man, I'm looking forward to see how well, if 2273 01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:42,120 Speaker 4: if the Kansas City offense can get going, because they 2274 01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,280 Speaker 4: have been on the struggle bus all season and at 2275 01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,200 Speaker 4: this literally all season. I'm not sure if they've had 2276 01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,240 Speaker 4: one game all year that you look at and you're like, 2277 01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 4: oh yeah, oh yeah, that that looks great, that looks perfect. 2278 01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,920 Speaker 4: That's the way an offense is supposed to run. So 2279 01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,560 Speaker 4: if Kansas City can get that going one in time 2280 01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:04,560 Speaker 4: this whole season, and then on the forty nine er side, 2281 01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:09,920 Speaker 4: if they can not let Kansas City get in front, 2282 01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:13,560 Speaker 4: and then Brock Party can go be special because if 2283 01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:15,800 Speaker 4: he he's gonna have to be special to win against 2284 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:18,440 Speaker 4: this Kansas City defense, because I do think that they're 2285 01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:21,800 Speaker 4: gonna be able to stop the run and and Kyle 2286 01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:24,120 Speaker 4: Shanahan is not going to go away from the run, 2287 01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:25,760 Speaker 4: or at least he better not. 2288 01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:28,560 Speaker 2: Are you worried at all about San Francisco the last 2289 01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:32,600 Speaker 2: two weeks falling behind and having a kind of rally, Yes, yeah. 2290 01:59:32,440 --> 01:59:35,120 Speaker 4: Yes, I think part of part of that is due 2291 01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:39,200 Speaker 4: to them being off with their with their bye week 2292 01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:44,240 Speaker 4: going going into the playoffs and now they essentially have 2293 01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:48,240 Speaker 4: another bye week again, so some something about that and 2294 01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,920 Speaker 4: them getting healthy because Christian McCaffrey got banged up at 2295 01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:55,000 Speaker 4: the end DBO two, so we'll see. Man. 2296 01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, you know, being on the Saturday show. 2297 01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:01,960 Speaker 2: I came up right after the Green Bay thing, and 2298 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:03,840 Speaker 2: you think, oh, it's just a one week thing, blah 2299 02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:06,160 Speaker 2: blahlah blah. And then of course they struggled last week. 2300 02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:09,400 Speaker 2: But listen, the opposite's true as well. Two very nice 2301 02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 2: comeback wins. They deserve credit for that Super Bowl next 2302 02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:16,880 Speaker 2: weekend in Vegas. We'll have on the ground coverage all 2303 02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:18,960 Speaker 2: week long. As I said, a lot of our crew, 2304 02:00:19,040 --> 02:00:24,440 Speaker 2: Jonas Knox, Scott Shapiro or Boss, they are already in Vegas.
