Aaron Torres, here 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: in La, Jason Martin, what's going on? 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: Man? 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: How you doing? 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 4: I'm doing all right. So we don't usually do this 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 4: because I usually just say, oh man, there's so much 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 4: going on, and there is, and we're about to have 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 4: this Lakers grizz thing, and I'm just gonna go and 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 4: throw a prediction out there. I think Lebron's gonna have 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 4: a big time night. And I also think there's gonna 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 4: be something major that happens in this game. 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: Like a Draymond Joe l e Nick type situation. 20 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 4: Potentially definitely, definitely in the offing. But so the Braves 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 4: have lost three in a row now, lost tonight, lost 22 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: last night to Houston and lost Thursday. 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: And you said you're more committed to baseball than you've 24 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: ever been. 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 4: Dude. I went to Apple TV yesterday, my Apple TV 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 4: and found the Braves because that's where they were playing, 27 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 4: and sat down and watched that game last night on 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 4: Apple TV. Plus it wasn't even on the regular stuff, 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: and I searched it out. And so I've watched all 30 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 4: this right, so Thursday, I decide, or well, not Thursday, 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 4: I guess it would have been Wednesday, before the off night, 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: the last game of the Padre series. I'm like, you 33 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna print out a Braves schedule. I'm 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 4: gonna put it on our refrigerator here at the house. 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 4: Oh okay, I'm gonna create space. So I moved some 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 4: of the photos of my daughter around create a nice collage, 37 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: but I create enough space for this schedule that I've 38 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 4: printed out. Since I put up the schedule that night, 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: they lost and they haven't won since they've lost three 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 4: in a row after winning eight in a row. So 41 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: the question is this, do I have to take the 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 4: schedule down because they apparently can't win. 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: After being all kinds of hot for like a. 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: Week and a half. They haven't won since I put 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: the schedule on the refrigerator. 46 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: Wow. See that's a tough question, and I will open 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: it up to our audience. You can tweet us at 48 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: Aaron Underscore Torres at JMRT Radio. Jason a huge Braves fan. 49 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: I almost talked to him going into the clinching World 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: Series game a few years ago. He has printed out 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: the Brave schedule so that he never misses a game, 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: and they have since not won a single game since then. Now, 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: the numbers would tell you in one hundred and sixty 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: two game baseball season they will win again eventually, But 55 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: you know percentages aren't in your favor right now. Now, 56 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: let me ask you this, how many games in a 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: row does it have to be before you convince yourself 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: that you are the reason that they're losing and then 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: you actually do just take it down because you feel 60 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: guilty about it. 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 5: Oh. 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 4: Look, when the first game, I was asking myself did 63 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 4: I cause this? Did I cause this? Because I decided 64 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 4: to get so greedy that I wanted to represent the 65 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 4: team on the refrigerator in April? Like, is this is 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: this my fault? And Abby my wife told me, Now no, 67 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: that's crazy but then it happened again last night and 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: she kind of looked at me sideways, and then it 69 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: happened tonight and I went and I told her, and 70 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: she said, you gotta take that schedule down. And I 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: was just like, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, But 72 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: there's a part of me that thinks it needs to 73 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: be burned. 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: America.

Is there a chair that you watch games in? 87 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: Did you have to throw away a chair because they 88 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: lost three in a row? You know, I can't think 89 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: of anything off the top of my head where where 90 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: I have where I've done that. As you know, outside 91 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 2: of Yukon basketball, I don't really like have teams that 92 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: I really root for. And uh yeah, I can't think 93 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: of anything like that in my life that I've done. 94 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 2: But I will tell you what America tweet us in 95 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: at Aaron Underscore torres at jmart Radio.

Is it the curse of 98 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: your daughter? Is she secretly upset that you took down 99 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: her pictures to put up Ronald Acunia or whatever is? 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: Oh wait, I didn't take her I did not take 101 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 4: her photos down. I kind of moved them around. I 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: moved one of her with a bunny rabbit. I moved 103 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: it to the right side of the refrigerator. I created 104 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: some and took some other things down that were less relevant, 105 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: that were not her to get for the space to 106 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: have the brave schedule at eye level every time I 107 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 4: go to the refrigerator. 108 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: Just Ozzie al Bez and h David Justice and Mark 109 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: Lemke and Ron Gant. Yeah, it's okay, it's okay. No 110 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: little no little Martin baby, But that's okay. It's Okay, 111 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: so tweeted. 112 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: I know that, by the way, this is a small 113 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 4: issue compared to NBA playoffs, NFL Draft and all this, 114 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 4: but I do think there are people out there that are. 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: Going to suggest that that that schedule has to be removed. Yeah, 116 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: I would give it. I would give it through the 117 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: end of the weekend if they go five in a row, 118 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: so that would be four in a row starting on Thursday. Yeah, 119 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 2: you probably got to rip down that schedule or maybe 120 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: just put it somewhere else or whatever. But but yeah, 121 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: keep us updated on what happens there, and we will 122 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: be watching out and we do want to hear from people. 123 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: Let us know. At j Mart Radio, at Aaron Underscore, 124 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: torres Uh, you mentioned you being a little bit of 125 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: bad luck potentially for the Atlanta Braves. Nothing but bad 126 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: luck in the NBA today. You know, it's crazy, Jayson, 127 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: because we can't on last Saturday. You know, you and 128 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: I don't talk a ton of NBA during this time 129 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: slot during the year, just because we're coming off college 130 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: football games, we're coming off NFL playoff games, March madness. 131 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: There's so much to react to. But I know you're 132 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: you're a fan of basketball, like I am, and so 133 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: you and I were on last week during that incredible 134 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: Game one between the Warriors and the Kings, and we're 135 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: so excited for these playoffs and it's just kind of 136 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: been a dut like like, I take that back. It 137 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: hasn't been a dut like like. The Warriors Kings games 138 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: have all been entertaining. There's been all sorts of stuff 139 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: going on. But as the Sager has told you, Game 140 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: three tonight, the Bucks lose because they haven't had Gianna 141 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: since the first quarter early second quarter of Game one. 142 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: The seventy six Ers sweep Brooklyn, but it was with 143 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: Joel Mbat on the sidelines and street clothes. And then 144 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: of course the Clippers fall down three to one to 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Phoenix with Kawhi Leonard and Paul Georgian street clothes. Now, 146 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: if you're looking for a little bit of a positive, 147 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: John Moran is expected to play, is ready to play 148 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: in Game three of the Memphis Lakers series, which is 149 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: about to tip off here in just a minute or so. 150 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the Rny Spaniard and I'm gonna do 151 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: the thing where I ask you the question that there 152 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: is no answer to, but I'm curious from your perspective, one, 153 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 2: do you feel like there are just more injuries in general, 154 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: Like like I don't wanna be old guy on my 155 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: lawn all that good stuff. And I understand some of 156 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: this stuff is out of people's control, you know, Giannis 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: goes up for a dunk and some guy tries to 158 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: slide in and take a charge. Same with John Morant, 159 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: But it just feels like it just feels like there's 160 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: more interest, Like like literally, I don't think you can 161 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: take anything out of the first three games of today 162 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: because you sit there and say, well, yeah, the Sixers one, 163 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: but what does it mean without Mbed? Well, the Sun's won, 164 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: but do we really feel good about them? They just 165 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: beat the Clippers without Kawhi. The Bucks lost, but do 166 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: we care until we see them without yet? Like, I 167 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: don't think there's a ton to take away because it 168 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: feels like these guys, like most of these series are 169 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: marred in some way, shape or form by a key 170 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: player being out. Do you have any thoughts as to 171 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: why this seems to be apt any more than ever 172 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: right now in the NBA. 173 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 4: I don't know for sure, but I can say that 174 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 4: what's been so just kind of I wouldn't necessarily interesting 175 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 4: makes it sound like a positive. What's been kind of 176 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 4: depressing about the whole thing is to your point that 177 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 4: it's been key players. It's been important guys that seem 178 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: to be getting banged up left and right. I did 179 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 4: read a piece from Kevin Pelton at ESPN that was 180 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 4: talking about what you just mentioned about Giannis and John 181 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: Moran both kind of being undercut on plays at the 182 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 4: rim and basically suggesting the NBA needs to reassess the 183 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: charge rule. And Mark Cuban had been on record. I 184 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: don't know if it's this year or over the last 185 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 4: few years that secondary charges need to be eliminated entirely, 186 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 4: that help defenders can't slide underneath because it's taking away 187 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 4: exciting plays. Guys are going to go up for a dunk, 188 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 4: but they're worried that somebody's going to be underneath them. 189 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 4: It's just not it's not helpful and it's dangerous. But 190 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: then the other one was span the restricted area or 191 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 4: get rid of the charge rule altogether. Because of all this, 192 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 4: I don't think charging is all of the problem. I 193 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: think it might be some of the problem. But you, 194 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: I mean, you mentioned it when you when you don't 195 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: have John Moran, your playoffs when you don't have at 196 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: times Anthony Davis in the past, and your playoffs when 197 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 4: you don't have Jannis for multiple games. I can't. I 198 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 4: don't have anything to say about the Bucks and Heat 199 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 4: tonight at all. The heat dominated that game. But what 200 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 4: did we learned? We learned absolutely nothing because we already 201 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 4: knew that a Chris Middleton as your number one that 202 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 4: team is not the number one overall seed. The one 203 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: with Giannis and Chris Middleton and that supporting cast, that's 204 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: your number one seed in the East. So they I 205 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 4: don't know exactly. I know you have a theory, and 206 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 4: I don't want to take that from you. So I'm 207 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 4: looking forward to hearing it because I think it's a 208 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: compelling argument. 209 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting to discuss and we can get 210 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: into it more and more. But I you know, first 211 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: of all, I understand that like like some of these 212 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: are fluky, right, Like Giannis has been for the most part, 213 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: very you know, very durable throughout his career. He's not 214 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 2: a guy that load manages. This was a fluky incident 215 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: where he went up for a play uh landed on 216 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: his back. It was a brutal fall, and you know, 217 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: and he's been out obviously. Jaw as this game tips 218 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: off is on the court, so he will be playing 219 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: tonight as Game three of the Lakers and Grizzlies is 220 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: again just set to tip off here in a second 221 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: from now. It's one I don't have a good answer, 222 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: but I will say this. I do think there is 223 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: something that we have to reconsider in terms of the 224 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: NBA and in terms of how we are handling certain 225 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: players in certain injuries. And I'll tell you what. I 226 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: want to discuss that next. But I also want to 227 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: discuss one of the other marquee play. One of the 228 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: marquee players that did not play today, of course, Kawhi 229 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: Leonard missed Game four today after missing Game three just 230 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: a couple of a couple of days ago. We want 231 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: to discuss that next because it's a very simple question. 232 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: Should Kawhi have played even if he was banged up. 233 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna discuss that next.

I 248 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: did not take anything of my. 249 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: Daughters off of the refrigerator. I just put Ozzie Alby's 250 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: front and center. No, I'm kidding, Okay, so okay, So 251 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: here was if you missed the top of the hour. 252 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: Jason Martin, diehard Braves fan, doesn't want to miss a game. 253 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: Print it out the Brave schedule, put it on his fridge, 254 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: may have shuffled some things around, neither here nor there. 255 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: The Braves have since gone on a three game losing streak. 256 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: And we said, does Jason Martin have to take that 257 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: schedule down? Gotten quite a few responses. GOO says, take 258 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: the schedule down from there. Mister Yeah, says I'm not 259 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: gonna apologize to jaymart Radio for his Braves pitching to 260 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: your Don of all people, as an Astros fan, I 261 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: will give him an option. Just set an alert on 262 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: your sports app of choice to notify you and Braves 263 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 2: games start. No need for a calendar. That's a good count. 264 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: That seems like a lot of work, though you gotta 265 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: do it for the next one hundred and forty five 266 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: nights a year. You gotta set an alarm on your phone. 267 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 4: Also, first off, low Blow, I don't want to hear 268 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: anything about your and on Alvarez right now. After the 269 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: last two days. I need that. Got to get out 270 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 4: of Atlanta. 271 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: Well, Richard is on your side, Jason or He tweeted me. 272 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: He said, my dad was a fan who saw them 273 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: play as the Boston Braves. He passed when Braves won 274 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 2: the World Series. He was ninety eight years old. Leave 275 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: the schedule on the fridge, and then finally, Sharon says, yes, 276 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: superstition Jinks is real. Lived in northern California when Don 277 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: Nelson was the coach of the Warriors. Loved them. I 278 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: watched all the games and they would lose if I 279 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: couldn't watch the game they won. I literally refused to 280 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 2: watch games. I've heard variations of that of your favorite team, 281 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: the one game you can't catch, they get hot, and 282 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: you feel obligated to not watch them until they lose again. 283 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: So I've heard a lot of that. So right now 284 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: we have two in favor of taking down the schedule, 285 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: one in favor of keeping it up. And Sharon readily 286 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: admits that back in her day, Warriors started winning and 287 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: she felt obligated to stop watching them because they got 288 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: hot when she was unavailable to watch them. Fox Sports Radio, 289 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: Aeron Torres, Jason Martin. By the way, if you have 290 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: thoughts on what Jason should do, he could tweet us 291 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: at Aaron Underscore Torres at JMRT Radio. Jason, I do 292 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 2: want to talk about you know, really we started the 293 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: show by just talking about this slew of injuries that 294 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 2: has kind of dampened I think it's damp in the 295 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: NBA playoffs little bit. Not to say we haven't had 296 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: good games, not say we haven't had a good series 297 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: in some cases. Obviously tomorrow Game four between Golden State 298 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: and Sacramento, that's been an awesome series, and the Knicks 299 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: Caves has been a really fun series, but there's been 300 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: a lot of injuries. And again, Giannis is an interesting 301 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: one because it was a fluke play. He's been healthy 302 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: whatever m bead interesting today the Sixers were up three 303 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: to nothing. I get the sense that if it was 304 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: a Game seven, he probably could have gone. The one 305 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about, though, is Kawhi Leonard. 306 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: And we all know Kawhi's background. You know, for the 307 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: most part, just has not been able to stay healthy 308 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: all that good stuff. Basically, he is, I would argue, 309 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: probably the face of load management in the NBA. At 310 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: his best, He's incredible. I mean, led the Raptors to 311 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: a title in twenty nineteen. Game one against the thirty 312 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: five points, Game two, thirty one points. They split the 313 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: first two, they win the first one in Phoenix, and 314 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: you feel good about it as a Clippers fan. I 315 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: bring it up because after Game two. First of all, 316 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: Kawhi reportedly hurt his knee, sprained his knee in game one, 317 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: played Game two at thirty one points, and then right 318 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: before game three, the team was made aware that Tyleru 319 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: was made aware as the head coach that Kawhi Leonard 320 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: would not be able to play, doesn't play game three today, 321 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: Game four when the Clippers are down two to one. 322 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: You lose Game four at home, you lose both games 323 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: at home. You're essentially basically saying your seasons basically on 324 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 2: the line, Tay, you lose this one. You're probably not 325 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: winning three straight without Kawhi a one hundred percent, without 326 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: Paul George whatever. And so I bring it up because 327 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: Kawhi did sit today, the Suns did lose today, And 328 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: I have a pretty simple question for you. To be clear, 329 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: we're told that that the doctors did not did not 330 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: encourage Kawhi to play. It was not his choice. It 331 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: was not the Clipper's choice. The doctors told him not 332 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: to play two. I also understand that Kawhi is dealing 333 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: with some personal stuff off the floor. His sister is 334 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: involved in a very serious situation. You can google it. 335 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: We don't have to give you details here. Why I 336 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: bring it up is this Jason again. I'm not trying 337 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: to be old man, Get off my lawn. Back in 338 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: the eighties it was so much better. Everything was better. 339 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: In the nineties, everything was better. But in a Game four, 340 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: you're down two to one, you lose this one, your 341 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: season is essentially over in some way, shape or form. 342 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: I feel like you're kind of It goes back to 343 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: what we I don't know how much we talked about. 344 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: It was Zion last week, but it's like with Zion, 345 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: your season is on the line in a win or 346 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: go home game. You can't give me five minutes, you 347 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: can't give me ten minutes. And that's how I feel 348 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: about Kawhi. Like, I get he has been injury prone. 349 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: I get he had a season ending ACL. You can't 350 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: play on a torn ACL. I get that that was 351 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: two years ago. Whatever, the point being, there have been 352 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: serious injuries that you can't play through. But he played 353 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: through this injury in Game two. He sits Game three. 354 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: The season is the whole point of load management, Jason, 355 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: and we've talked about this, and we're gonna talk about 356 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: a next segment. The whole point of load management is 357 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: to put yourself in position to be ready to play 358 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I'm so over this guy. I've seen 359 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: a lot of people talk about this over the last 360 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: couple of days. If you can't, like if you physically 361 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: can't play, it's one thing. But he played in game 362 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: two on the same injury, and your season is essentially 363 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: on the line. I just don't know. You can't suit 364 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: up and give me ten minutes, Kawhi. And by the way, 365 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: it was a close game until the final few minutes. 366 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: The Clippers actually had the lead late into the third 367 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 2: quarter early fourth quarter. I'm frustrated by this whole situation. 368 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: I'm disappointed. Do you believe that even if the doctors 369 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 2: aren't giving you clearance, if you're Kawhi, you should step 370 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: up and say I'm playing one way or the other. 371 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 4: I don't know, just because I don't know the extent 372 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 4: of everything, but I will say this, whenever the words 373 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 4: load management are spoken, it's an image of Kawhi that 374 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 4: comes into my head. Yep, every single time. He is 375 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 4: truly the face of load management in the NBA. After 376 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 4: the ACL that cost him all of last year, he 377 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 4: played in fifty two games this year, and you know 378 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 4: the load management he took. He took every perk. I 379 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 4: think is how it's been described this week from various pundits. 380 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: He'll take every perk that you offer him when it 381 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 4: comes to that kind of thing. Reading from the New 382 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 4: York Post, Los Angeles had hoped that by load managing 383 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 4: Leonard throughout the season, he would be available and be 384 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 4: able to play extended minutes in the playoffs without issue. 385 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 4: Well not playing today. If he could have, or if 386 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 4: he could have overruled the doctors or whatever was going 387 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 4: on there, you would think that he would You would 388 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 4: think that he should have. Again, I don't know exactly 389 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 4: the extent of the pain. I don't know what the 390 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 4: doctors told him. I just know that without him, the 391 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 4: Clippers probably have no shot. They already don't have Paul 392 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: George for the entire series. 393 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: He's the guy. 394 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: He's the guy that can carry you. But he's the 395 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 4: most undependable aloof kind of strange. 396 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: But really good player. Though, Yeah, like he's a killer. 397 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 4: Like he's an incredible player. 398 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: I don't mean to cut you. 399 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 4: Off, no, I mean, that's that's the thing that's so 400 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 4: frustrating about. It's like he's so good that you'll almost 401 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 4: put up with this. Like I was on these very 402 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 4: Fox Sports airwaves a few years ago in the middle 403 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 4: of the night when I was hosting my own show 404 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: and suggesting, I don't care what anybody says, Kawhi Leonard 405 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 4: is the best player in the National Basketball Association, And 406 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 4: I did it week after week after week, and I 407 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 4: believed it, and I think it was true, and I 408 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 4: think it would still be true right now if dude 409 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: just played the games. But he doesn't, And at this point, 410 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 4: it's just got to be so frustrated for Tylu who 411 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 4: is a great coach and a great man and just 412 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 4: can't count on his superstar. And then the other guy, 413 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 4: George has hurt a lot too. But Leonard not going today. 414 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 4: It's just like, what will motivate you to play. 415 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 2: Some sort of something something? Yeah, what what? 416 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 4: What? 417 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: What will? 418 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 5: What will? 419 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: What will will get you out there? 420 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 4: What? Like? 421 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 5: How? 422 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: How? What has to be on the line? What do 423 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 4: the stakes have to be? You're in the playoffs, You're 424 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 4: playing against Kevin Durant. Durant even said after the game 425 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 4: he's he's a little bit bummed he hasn't been able 426 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 4: to play against Kawhi very much in this series because 427 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 4: he's a baller. He's a dude that wants to go 428 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 4: against the absolute best. And that's what fans pay for, 429 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: That's what we watch for. That's why we're on the 430 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: radio talking about the NBA is for matchups like a 431 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 4: team with Kawhi Leonard on it against the team with 432 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 4: Kevin Durant on it, and. 433 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: Unfortunately we just don't end up getting that very often 434 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: really quick. First of all, I agree, and I think 435 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: my frustration with this and this is now a three 436 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: week kind of conversation that we've had because what I've 437 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: said to you for the last three weeks, I've been 438 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: sold that we need to load manage to get everybody 439 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: ready for the playoffs because us in the media, us 440 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: bad guys, the big bad wolf in the media. It's 441 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 2: our fault because all we care about is rings. Okay, 442 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: that's fine, but for three weeks in a row, this 443 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 2: is what we've talked about. Two weeks ago, it was 444 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: the MAVs being in position to get into the play 445 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: in and resting their players. I don't know if you 446 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: can even call it resting. They just didn't play them. 447 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: You can't rest them for anything if there's nothing else 448 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: to rest them, for rest for their trip to Cancun. 449 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: Right now, yes, Zion again, one game city has played 450 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: since January Winner go Home. You can't give me ten minutes. 451 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 2: I don't care. So that's the part that I think 452 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: is frustrating to me. 453 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 6: Is that. 454 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: We've been told we have to be okay with load 455 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: management because the fruits of load the fruits of load 456 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: management are that we get to see these guys in 457 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 2: the playoffs, and now again Kawhi sits out in what 458 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: is essentially their season on the lote. I'll tell you 459 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 2: what I want to come back, and I want to 460 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: take a deeper dive onload management because I had a 461 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 2: thought about this today and I think it's worth diving 462 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: into deeper. So we're going to continue the conversation on 463 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: load management. Kawhi missues Game four, Clippers lose. Don't want 464 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: to steal too much from what the sager is about 465 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: to tell you right now, so let's toss it over 466 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 2: the news desk to Sager, my friend, what is going on? 467 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 6: Hello, gentlemen. 468 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 7: Complete dominance Early in LA by the Lakers got out 469 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 7: to an eighteen to two lead against Memphis.

This 526 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday Era, Torres, Jason 527 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: Martin broadcasting live from the Tireraq dot Com studios. And so, Jason, 528 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: you know you just mentioned it a minute ago, is 529 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: that unfortunately fortunately whatever, this is the world that we 530 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: live in. You know, Kawhi Leonard, I think has really 531 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 2: become the face of load management. And again it goes 532 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: back to what I just said a minute ago. He 533 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: did not play today and what was essentially essentially the season. 534 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: They were down to one. You lose three to one. 535 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 2: Now you lose, you go down to three to one 536 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 2: at home, go back to Phoenix for Game five, it 537 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: feels unlikely that they're going to win three straight games 538 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: to win this series. But I had a thought today, okay, 539 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: And it stems a lot from all of the guys 540 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: that are missing games. And again I get that Giannis 541 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: isn't the typical, you know guy to be out. John Morant, 542 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 2: for all the criticisms we can have off the court, 543 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 2: basically shows up to play every single night. But I 544 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 2: had a thought about load management. I want to hear 545 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: your thoughts on it, okay. So I just think it's 546 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: time to just I'll just be blunt. I think it's 547 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: time to eliminate load management and let me explain. Okay, 548 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: So I was thinking about this. So load management, if 549 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: you remember, it originally started with Greg Popovich San Antonio 550 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: Spurs aging veteran team and there was really no science 551 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: behind it. Chase and it was just like we're playing 552 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: back to backs on the road, I'm gonna send Tony 553 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: Parker and man who Genobili home early. We're in the 554 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: playoffs where our seating is set, like we don't have 555 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: to like like we don't have to overthink this, like 556 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: get them home. They don't need to take the extra flight, 557 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: short rest short sleep, get on the plane after the game, 558 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: fly home. Whatever. That was where load management originally start. 559 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: And then all the doctors got involved, and then all 560 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: the sports science people got involved, and then all the 561 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: whatever got involved, and it's become a scientific thing, right, 562 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: It's become the doctors say this and this and that, 563 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: like like, that's what we hear with Zion. That's what 564 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: we heard with Kawhi Tay can't play because of this. 565 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: The doctors want this, Zion that Here's my question, though, Jason, 566 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna ask you a yes or no 567 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: question and then I'll finish my thought and then I 568 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: want to give it to you for an extended period 569 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: of time. Here's my question, and it's just a yes 570 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: or no question. Do we have any actual proof that 571 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: load management works? 572 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 4: No? 573 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: Yes? And that's it. I was thinking about it today. 574 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 2: Is like, listen, I get that there are people smarter 575 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: than me when it comes to science and body science 576 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 2: and again whatever, neurology is not the right word, that's brain, 577 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: but you get the point, like, there are scientific people 578 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: that are smart to me, but all the time doctors 579 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: get stuff wrong. That's why we go for a second opinion. 580 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: All the time, scientists get stuff wrong. Experts get stuff wrong. 581 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: I have yet to see one piece of evidence that 582 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: shows me proof that load management actually work. And as 583 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I think you can argue at 584 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: this point that it's actually having the fundamental opposite effect 585 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 2: that when a Kawhi Leonard has to ramp up and 586 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: play two games in three days, his body can't handle it. 587 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: That when Zion Waivemson has to ramp up and stay 588 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: healthy for two weeks, he can't handle it. And so 589 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: I don't have the perfect answer, but I just think 590 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: it's one of those why can't we just go back 591 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: to what it was in nineteen eighty eight when everybody played. 592 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 2: If you're healthy, if you feel good, play, If you're 593 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: not healthy, if you can't play, if you physically can't 594 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: do the job, then sit on the sidelines, Like I 595 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: need some proof that this is actually working, because I've 596 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 2: yet to see one piece of data that is actually 597 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: showing me that this is actually working the way it's intended. 598 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 4: The other thing about the Spurs load management and the 599 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 4: way that it all began is that Papovich also recognized 600 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 4: he had a very deep basketball team. They already had 601 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 4: their seeing like you mentioned, but he had dudes that 602 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 4: were backups that were going to play significant minutes in 603 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 4: the playoffs. He had a deeper bench down, a lot 604 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 4: of guys and a lot of team tams in that 605 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 4: during that time frame, and so he was getting those 606 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 4: guys minutes on top of everything else and what he 607 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 4: was doing, as you said, there was no science to it. 608 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 4: It was just kind of like, this makes sense, so 609 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: we're gonna try this, and then it kind of became 610 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 4: something different. It's it's become not what it was intended 611 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 4: to be. It's kind of in the same vein of Okay, 612 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 4: well we understand what nil was supposed to make, but 613 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: we now know what it's being, what's happened to it, 614 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 4: how it's been changed, and how it's going to have 615 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 4: to be fixed. I look at fifty two games for Kawhi, 616 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 4: and Kawhi again is the face of load management, but 617 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 4: he's the dude this turn all the time anyway, So 618 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 4: I mean, what are you getting out of this? This 619 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 4: is a weird analogy to make, but it's just because 620 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 4: I heard this a few days ago on a podcast. 621 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 4: So I was listening to so Akunya for the Braves 622 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 4: missed all of the World Series year he was injured. 623 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: He was out basically the entire year. He came back 624 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 4: last year and he just kind of wasn't all the 625 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 4: way there. It just didn't he didn't feel quite right 626 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 4: for the entire year. Now he's come back and he's 627 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 4: been really hot to start the season. And basically from 628 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 4: what I heard, Snicker, the manager of the Braves, is like, Oh, 629 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have him played all one sixty two, like 630 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 4: he's ready to go. I'm gonna he's gonna play all 631 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 4: one sixty two and be all set. Like this is 632 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 4: not a thing in any other sport. It's not like, 633 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 4: you know, it's not gonna be a thing in a 634 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 4: NFL or college football because you don't have the luxury 635 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: of taking any games off. But the thing that's kind 636 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 4: of madness to me is a lot of these teams 637 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 4: when you've got to play in tournament, and teams are 638 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: that close to get into the play in tournament. Yeah. 639 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 4: And I've actually gone against my own theory in this, 640 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 4: and it's been because I've decided to start watching baseball 641 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 4: commit to it, and I'm loving it right now. But 642 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty two regular season games, well, that 643 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: means every individual game doesn't mean a whole lot, right, 644 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 4: And I think that there's truth to it. But then 645 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 4: I get to the end and I'm like, yeah, but 646 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: then there's playoffs to make the postseason because teams are 647 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: that close, there's one game between them, So maybe yeah, 648 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 4: it's one one sixty second of a pie. But at 649 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 4: the same time, if it's still gonna be that razor 650 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 4: close to making the playoffs or not for a lot 651 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 4: of baseball teams, a lot of NBA teams, a lot 652 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 4: of NFL teams playing to the bitter end, then I 653 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 4: don't know that you ever have the luxury in pro sports. 654 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 4: And if you do, continually hit the brake and then 655 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 4: you're just supposed to go to fifth gear. It's almost 656 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 4: like you've had your car during a snowstorm for five 657 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 4: or six days and you never walked out and turned 658 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 4: it on, and then you come back out six seven 659 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 4: days later and you turn it on and you're surprised 660 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 4: to find out that the engine sucks on that first trip. 661 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 4: That's kind of the same thing. You can't just go 662 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 4: no speed and then go full speed on a routine basis. 663 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 4: I don't think our bodies. I don't think our physiology 664 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: is meant to work that way. 665 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: No, it's one thousand percent correct. And I've used this 666 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: example before and I feel bad because I don't know 667 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 2: the guy and I keep referencing him, and he's kind 668 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 2: of a friend of the Fox Sports family. But so 669 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 2: I remember driving around l A one time and Eric Dickerson, 670 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: the iconic you know, former Los Angeles RAM. He does 671 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 2: a lot of local radio here, including on five seventy 672 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: ARE affiliate in Los Angeles. He does great job. Don't 673 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: know him, would love to talk ball with him at 674 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: some point, but I remember him saying, and this is 675 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 2: always stuck with me in the load management conversation, is 676 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: that you know that guy had has some records that 677 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: are never going to be broken in terms of total 678 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: carries and yardage and this and that. But he said, 679 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: he said, the one year that was my most injury 680 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: plagued and whatever, however verbiage you want to use, he said, 681 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: the year I had the most trouble was actually the 682 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: year that I held out. And he said, you know 683 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: there was a year I held out contract whatever that happens, 684 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: And he basically said, like listen, you know my body 685 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: was in a routine where every June I was doing this, 686 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: Every July, I was doing this every August. I'd report 687 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: to training camp at this time and and you ramp 688 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: up and I didn't have that that year, And the 689 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 2: year where I actually got more rest was actually the 690 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: one where I was most injury prone. And so, again, 691 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 2: don't want to speak for Eric Dickerson. I've never met him, 692 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: but I think it's exactly what you just said, and 693 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 2: I think there's something to this, and you know whatever, 694 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: We're just guys talking about sports. But I just think 695 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: that it's just interesting to me that that, you know, 696 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: we have this conversation right in Major League Baseball with 697 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 2: pitchers and this and that, and you know that the 698 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 2: front office and you know, people that aren't baseball people 699 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: or basketball people are taking you know, the you know, 700 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: like the soul of the sport away from us. And 701 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: I just think there's something to it with this load 702 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: management stuff, because I get the concept behind it, but 703 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: I have yet to see an example of where, uh, like, 704 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: where it's actually working, Like like give me the guy 705 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: that's like, Okay, I'm playing forty nine games during the 706 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: regular season, but darn it in the playoffs. I'm ramped 707 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: up and ready to go.

A Lebron layup 739 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 2: just made it forty two to thirteen, little nice ho hum, 740 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 2: twenty nine point lead four minutes into the second quarter. 741 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks, who did an awful lot of talking this week, 742 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 2: just laid it in. Can't do play by play, but 743 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 2: they have cut the lead to twenty seven with eight 744 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: forty five. Jason, I'll say this. You know, we just 745 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 2: talked a lot about injuries and who's playing and who's not. 746 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: Credit where it's due. Lakers took care of business. Game 747 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: on one obviously, fell flatten in Game two. But looking 748 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 2: good right now. Don't want to jinx anything, but Anthony 749 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 2: Davis looks healthy for all to talk about. You know, 750 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 2: the sun's being a little bit, eh, the Clippers missing pieces, 751 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 2: the Bucks missing Giannis. Lakers have largely, you know, done 752 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 2: what they're supposed to do through two and a half 753 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 2: games in these playoffs so far. 754 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, the moves that they made good moves. I mean, 755 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,240 Speaker 4: they picked up some solid pieces. And Austin Reeves seems 756 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 4: like he's burgeoning right before our eyes into I've seen 757 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 4: some people call him a star. He's definitely getting there. 758 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 4: I want to see it consistently. But this dude can 759 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 4: play hashimor can play. He could shoot the basketball really well. 760 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 4: Like I like the makeup of this team. And I 761 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 4: mean Memphis didn't even have double figures going into the 762 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 4: second quarter of this game. It's now forty two to fifteen. 763 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 4: It's the kind of game. I'm actually not really surprised. 764 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 4: Like I said, I thought Lebron gonna have a big night. 765 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 4: Now he does have double figures, so he's got ten, 766 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 4: so he's doing fine. He didn't have much to say 767 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 4: about Dylan Brooks, who of course had all the things 768 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 4: to say, and now he's being booed out of the 769 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 4: joint and I'm watching him very closely on every possession. 770 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 4: Now that this game already to me feels over. I 771 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 4: know that's crazy to say with seven fifty five left 772 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 4: in the second, but you got Morant coming back from 773 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,479 Speaker 4: the injury. Memphis just looks awful in this basketball game. 774 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 4: And so this is the perfect opportunity for numbskull to 775 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 4: go numbskull. This is why I'm saying there could be 776 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 4: a storyline coming out of this. And I think Dylan 777 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 4: Brooks is just right there on camera talking smack to 778 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 4: Lebron James while his team is down by twenty seven. 779 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,479 Speaker 4: This Memphis team should be easy to root for because 780 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 4: they're so blue collar in so many ways, they're kind 781 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 4: of hard to root for because they don't stop talking. 782 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 2: They don't stop talking, and yeah, they haven't won very much. 783 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: Like you could criticize Traymond Green for a lot, but 784 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 2: that guy's like he's what a lot Like it's you know, 785 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 2: you could talk to talk when you got as many 786 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: rings as he does. Where Memphis, it feels like there's 787 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of steak And what's the 788 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: old a lot of sizzle and not much steak, I 789 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 2: think is the right way to put it. Yeah, I 790 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 2: don't know what to say, you know, Brooks like I, 791 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I sort of get. What 792 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: he was trying to do is trying to maybe, yeah, 793 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 2: maybe maybe get Lebron to try to do too much 794 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 2: and you know, does it take away one thing I 795 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 2: do want to say, though, what you just said. You know, 796 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: living in la I think it's probably a little bit 797 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 2: different for me. But you know, for for two years 798 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 2: during the failed Russell Westbrook experiment, all I heard was 799 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 2: how terrible Rob Polenka was and you had to fire him. 800 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 2: He doesn't know what he's doing. And Frank Vogel's gotta go, 801 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 2: and this has got to go, and that's got to go. 802 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 2: I think Rob Polenka, if this team continues on the 803 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 2: trajectory that they look on right now, we gotta give 804 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: Rob Polinka some credit, man, because he's well. The important 805 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 2: thing was he stood his ground. Lebron wanted to trade 806 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 2: those drafts at the deadline for John Wall. He refused 807 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 2: to do it, and he revamped this roster largely with 808 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 2: while protecting whatever little future there is at stake, and 809 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 2: so you get rid of Westbrook, you get all these 810 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 2: pieces that fit. Like, you know, if the Lakers do 811 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: what we think they're capable of doing. We got to 812 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 2: give some credit to Rob Link in the front office 813 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 2: for standing their ground and really putting a nice team 814 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 2: around Lebron James in a now healthy Anthony Davis, Yeah. 815 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 5: I mean. 816 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,959 Speaker 4: To that he has certainly, Polink has been up and down. 817 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 4: As if you're a GM long enough, and especially if 818 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 4: you are one that is with a team that has 819 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 4: so much publicity and so many cameras on it at 820 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 4: all times, and so many people ready to write stories 821 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 4: and talk. Uh, you're gonna have ups and downs. And 822 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 4: he's had some big time downs. He's had some rough patches. 823 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 4: But he did I think a masterful job at this 824 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 4: trade deadline of doing the best that he could without 825 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 4: completely leveraging decisions that he liked from the past or 826 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 4: giving in as you should say. He was kind of 827 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 4: the adult in the room and did what had to 828 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 4: be done. And this team right now they look pretty 829 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 4: good like they they they are going to be a 830 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 4: tough out and the more you watch this, the more 831 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 4: you think they may just flat out be a better 832 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 4: basketball team than Memphis. 833 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 2: May be a better basketball team than Memphis. And with 834 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 2: the way the Suns are playing, they might be a 835 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 2: better team than the Suns. And the Warriors might be 836 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 2: out of this thing before we know it. So, you know, 837 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 2: you don't want to put the cart before the horse, 838 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 2: but there's a nice little pathway clearing for the Lakers 839 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 2: in the West.

Jason, let's get 867 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 2: into some draft talk, baby, Let's do it. Love the NFL. 868 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable and it's nice because listen, I'll say this, 869 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 2: and I think we might have talked about this last week. 870 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 2: I get why. I get why we have all these 871 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 2: rumors and innuendo. And on the one hand, you have 872 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 2: teams that want to keep their leverage. The Carolina Panthers 873 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 2: have probably known for a while they're gonna take Bryce Young. 874 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 2: But if somebody offers them something crazy, you don't want 875 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 2: people to know that the pick is unavailable. So I 876 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 2: understand why teams leak in factual unfactual information, whatever the 877 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 2: word is. I understand why we in the media run 878 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 2: with stories. It makes for great content. But we now 879 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 2: know Bryce Young is going number one. He has canceled 880 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 2: all his visits to all the other teams. He's gonna 881 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 2: go to number one at Caroline. Where it gets interesting 882 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 2: is number two, Jason. So about three or four different 883 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 2: stories have leaked out this week, and I just want 884 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 2: your your thoughts on them. The first one not a 885 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 2: very flattering picture painted for CJ. Stroud. Bob McGinn, who 886 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 2: writes for go TV Golong Tddun's website is excellent, by 887 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: the way, excellent website. The Bob againn has covered the 888 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 2: NFL for literally like forty plus years, and he tweeted 889 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 2: out or he did he wrote a story. Excuse me there. 890 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 2: There is a test called the S two test, which 891 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 2: is kind of a test that kind of gauges a 892 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 2: person's ability to kind of process things very quickly and 893 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 2: you know, kind of react to information in real time. 894 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 2: So a score of eighty on the S two test 895 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 2: is very good. Well, the good news is Bryce Young 896 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 2: got ninety eight, so that's good. Will Levis got a 897 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 2: ninety three. Anthony Richardson got a seventy nine. Not great. 898 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 2: Eighty is really kind of what you're shooting for. Droud, 899 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 2: according to Bob McGinn, got an eighteen on that test. 900 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 2: So it has led to a lot of speculation. Many 901 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 2: sportsbooks now have Will Levis the favorite to go number 902 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 2: two overall at to the Houston Texans. Let me just 903 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 2: ask you. You can take this wherever you want. What 904 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 2: do you think the Texans should do? What do you 905 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 2: think they will do? Just when I say number two 906 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 2: on the clock, the Houston Texans, what do you say 907 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 2: to that, Jason? 908 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 4: I mean, that's not good. The S two thing is interesting. 909 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,919 Speaker 4: And look what it's usually the wonder lick that people 910 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 4: end up talking about who does well, who doesn't. And 911 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 4: you know, there's always it's always problematic to go there 912 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 4: because but there's a reason why it was given for 913 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 4: a long time and why people do talk about it. 914 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 4: So this s two tests, he scores the eighteen. As 915 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 4: you mentioned, Bryce Young scores a ninety eight. This one 916 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 4: NFL executive comes out and says, this is like red alert, 917 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 4: red alert. You can't take a guy like that. That's 918 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 4: why I have Stroud as a bust. That, in conjunction 919 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 4: with the fact named one Ohio State quarterback that's ever 920 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 4: done it in the league. Ouch, it would frighten me 921 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 4: if I was a Texans fan, wouldn't it frighten you. 922 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 2: To take CG. Shroud? 923 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, I mean this report would frighten me. 924 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,479 Speaker 4: There's there's a part of me it's still like, yeah, 925 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 4: but I watched him play football. I do think the 926 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 4: Ohio State thing is an interesting, interesting sidebar to it, 927 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 4: because there's absolute truth to the fact that they're really 928 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 4: a lot of dudes have been able to do a 929 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 4: lot in college that either end up in running backs 930 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 4: or wide receivers or somewhere else and not playing quarterback 931 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 4: in the NFL. And when they do play quarterback, they 932 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 4: usually don't do very much doing it. But man, the 933 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 4: idea of this being able to process visual stimuli quickly, 934 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 4: that does seem like something you need to be able 935 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 4: to do as an NFL quarterback, especially with the speed 936 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 4: of the rush that's coming at you and just having 937 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 4: to make split second decisions. It wouldn't make me hesitate 938 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 4: if I was making a decision for the Texans or 939 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 4: potentially for a few splots down below Houston. It's a 940 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 4: terrible story for CJ. Stroud because you can't imagine that 941 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 4: his stock will do anything but fall unless somebody just 942 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 4: completely disregards what. 943 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 2: This test means. And I think that you do that 944 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 2: at your own peril. Yeah, I think when it comes 945 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 2: to c J. Stroud specifically at two, right, because everything's relative, 946 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 2: you can you can say that I wouldn't take c J. 947 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 2: Stroud at two if I was the Texans, But that 948 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that he's not a good value. PICKT four 949 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,359 Speaker 2: for the Colts or you know, somebody trade up into 950 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 2: the top ten to get him if you fall. So like, 951 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 2: it's not say, oh, what I do think this says? 952 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 5: Though? 953 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 2: Is that to me it's just a piece of a picture, right, 954 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: is like it's exactly what you said, is that to me? 955 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 2: Like this is not good? But to me it's not 956 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: a be all end all. But then you add it 957 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 2: in with well, Ohio State really has no history of 958 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 2: producing high level NFL quarterbacks justin fields. We'll see where 959 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 2: he's at. 960 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 4: You know. 961 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the late Dwayne Haskins career cut short, obviously tragically, 962 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: but things were not trending in the right direction, and 963 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 2: really before them, no one to know, no one noteworthy. 964 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: I think the other thing with CJ. Stroud, you know, lost, frankly, 965 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: probably the two biggest games of his career, or probably 966 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 2: the three biggest games if you include Georgia and the 967 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 2: College Football Playoff. Now, to his credit, he played really 968 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 2: well in that College Football Playoff game, maybe the best 969 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 2: game of his career, but did not play well against 970 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 2: In the two games against Michigan that he started, lost 971 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 2: both did not play well. The game against Penn State. 972 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 2: I remember coming on with you after that game. Producer 973 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 2: Bow was in that seat and we talked about it 974 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 2: was the defense that won Ohio State the game against 975 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 2: Penn State. So when you're at Ohio State and you're 976 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 2: playing like one to two teams a year that have 977 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 2: equal talent to you, and you go oher and two 978 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 2: against Michigan, the defense carries you against Penn State. You 979 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 2: didn't look great against Notre Dame in week one either, 980 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 2: like these are all bad signs, and so from from 981 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,879 Speaker 2: the c J. Stroud perspective, I don't necessary. I don't 982 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 2: want to say I don't care at all about this 983 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 2: S two test, but it paints a broader picture. Now, 984 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 2: at the same time, let me kind of continue the conversation. 985 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 2: Number two Houston Texans. So you know Torres and Martin 986 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 2: the brain the brain trust that's running the Texans. We've 987 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 2: just crossed CJ. Stroud off the board. Does that mean 988 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 2: you go defense? Obviously the betting odds say it's Will Levis. 989 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 2: Everybody knows where you and I stand on Will Levis, 990 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about him. Does that mean that 991 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 2: you go defense, that you go Will Anderson, that you 992 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 2: go Jalen Carter? What does that mean for you at 993 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 2: number two? If you're running Houston or by the way, 994 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 2: do you still factor all of that in and still 995 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 2: say we need a quarterback? 996 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 3: C J. 997 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 2: Stroud is the best guy on my board. 998 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 4: So I'll mention this. The same executive was told Bob McGain, 999 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 4: you mentioned that an eighty eighty and above is good. 1000 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 4: That's a benchmark. He said, if you get a high 1001 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,800 Speaker 4: scores quarterbacks and not saying you're to be a great player, 1002 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 4: but if you get a low score, it's one hundred percent. 1003 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 4: None of the quarterbacks that got a low score became 1004 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 4: good players. Eighty and above is good. Stroud was eighteen. 1005 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 4: It's incredibly terrible. He's gonna be off some team's boards. 1006 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 4: He will not be picked by those teams. So you 1007 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 4: are hearing be all end all at least from this guy. 1008 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 4: I hate the fact that his name is not mentioned 1009 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 4: because it just makes me wonder, why would you come 1010 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 4: out and just maul this guy the way that you have. 1011 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 4: In terms of CJ. Stroud, Will Anderson is the safest pick. 1012 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 4: But the problem for the Houston Texans is this, they 1013 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 4: don't have a quarterback, and as such, they don't really 1014 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 4: have a team that's worth paying attention to. And that's 1015 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 4: just the way it is in the NFL. In fact, 1016 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 4: you could argue in that division right now, I don't 1017 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 4: know what the Colts are gonna do. They major out 1018 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,879 Speaker 4: somebody at four. They may make a crazy move this week, 1019 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,720 Speaker 4: who knows, right, but they're gonna do something at quarterback. 1020 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 4: We know that Tennessee looks like they're committed to Tannehill again. 1021 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 4: Maybe they're gonna make some other kind of crazy move. 1022 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,359 Speaker 4: At least there was talk that they were looking at 1023 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals at number three, but that's another unsettled situation. 1024 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 4: There's only one settled situation long term in the division, 1025 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 4: and that's Trevor Lawrence. So it's not a division that's like, 1026 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 4: even if we get a quarterback, we're not gonna be 1027 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 4: there now. If you get a quarterback, you've got a 1028 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 4: shot at it. I would tend because I just don't. 1029 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 4: There ain't no way I'm drafting Will Levis at number two. Overall, 1030 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 4: there's just no way. And Anthony Richardson is just I 1031 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 4: watched him last year. We watched him Aaron like, I 1032 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 4: know what the skill could be, but it's so raw, 1033 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 4: like could it could easily go wrong if you don't 1034 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 4: have the right people around him to help facilitate his growth. 1035 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 4: If you've got the right people around him and you're 1036 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 4: able to really channel that, you might have Josh Allen 1037 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 4: but even more athletic, and that could be, you know, 1038 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 4: stupendous for you in a couple of years. I would 1039 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 4: still tend to take see Ja Stroud. I know, I 1040 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 4: said it would make me hesitate. I just don't know 1041 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 4: if it would knock me off taking him, especially when 1042 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 4: I'm reading article after article two months ago from experts 1043 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 4: mock draft people and everything. Oh, will see J. Stroud's 1044 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 4: the safest bet. He's the one that's most ready to 1045 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,800 Speaker 4: play day one. And then you get one test result 1046 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 4: and now he's off your board. Like, there's a reason 1047 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 4: why I always call this this time of year the 1048 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 4: season lies, because you just hear everything. People are trying 1049 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 4: to create content, they're trying to write articles, they're trying 1050 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 4: to be in the news cycle. All of this is 1051 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 4: happening simultaneously. Not to mention, you have teams trying to 1052 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 4: throw others off the scent of what they actually want 1053 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 4: to do. You have all this maneuvering and manipulation going on. 1054 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 4: So who knows what ends up happening. But I look 1055 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 4: at this and I'm just like, all right, he got 1056 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 4: an eighteen on a test. I'm pretty sure you can 1057 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 4: correct me if I'm wrong on this. But there have 1058 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 4: been some guys that have gotten some absolutely atrocious wonderlic 1059 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 4: scores that have won NFL MVPs. I don't know that 1060 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 4: I'm completely knocking CJ. Stroud off my draft board if 1061 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,280 Speaker 4: I'm Houston, simply because of an S two test, which 1062 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 4: at least to my knowledge, I've never even heard of 1063 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 4: until this story. 1064 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 2: First time I heard of it was when Berdie Fraddle 1065 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 2: brought it up on our Saturday segment last week. So 1066 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 2: I'm with you on that really quick. You know, one 1067 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,280 Speaker 2: name we kind of glossed over, what is your stance 1068 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 2: on Jalen Carter, not even necessarily at number two, but 1069 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 2: just in general, because again I think he's, you know, 1070 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 2: a very interesting player. You know, the people that do 1071 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 2: this for a living three hundred and sixty five days 1072 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 2: a year say he's the most talented player in the draft. 1073 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 2: But we already had heard about character issues before he 1074 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 2: even entered the draft. Was arrested. Now again, really dumb 1075 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,919 Speaker 2: situation that turned tragic. But at the end of the day, 1076 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 2: how much was he involved, We don't really know. We 1077 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 2: just know that he was driving his car way too 1078 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,799 Speaker 2: fast and at at the best case scenario it's bad judgment, right, 1079 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 2: but had to literally the combine to turn himself into 1080 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 2: police and then came back to the combine and then oh, 1081 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,280 Speaker 2: by the way, this pro day could not complete drills 1082 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 2: because he was so out of shape. Now part of 1083 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 2: that maybe because he's dealing with a legal thing, but 1084 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 2: I would sit there and contend that, Wait a second, Now, 1085 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 2: this is the biggest job interview in your life. You 1086 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 2: can't be so out of shape that you can't complete drills. So, 1087 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 2: Jason Martin, again the GM are is he completely off 1088 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 2: your board? Does it depend on the team? Does it 1089 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 2: is only in the late round if I'm an established organization, 1090 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,919 Speaker 2: Just very quickly your thoughts on Jillen Carter. 1091 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 4: I mean, it probably does depend on the team and 1092 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 4: the situation. But he's not somebody that would be high 1093 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,240 Speaker 4: up on my board, Like I look at Will Anderson 1094 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 4: has all the intangible stuff that you want, Like his 1095 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,879 Speaker 4: grades were incredible, good dude, and we already knew how 1096 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 4: talented he was. Probably should have been the Heisman Trophy 1097 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 4: winner at least two years ago, even though I didn't 1098 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 4: think he was as impressive this past season. That kind 1099 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 4: of went for Alabama as a whole outside of Bryce Young, 1100 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 4: Will Anderson to me is your and to antithesis to 1101 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 4: Jail and Carter, where Carter's Carter has some red flags. 1102 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 4: Because the one thing I can't put on my team 1103 00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 4: is bad judgment If I yeah, like if I, if I, 1104 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 4: if I just can't trust your judgment, then my judgment 1105 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,719 Speaker 4: has to go somewhere else, Like I have to go 1106 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 4: somewhere where I know, at the very least in my 1107 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 4: head at the time of draft. I know you sometimes 1108 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 4: when money gets involved, when fame gets involved, people make mistakes. 1109 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 4: I understand that. We see that every day. 1110 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 2: There's a reason why TMZ exists. 1111 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:37,399 Speaker 5: We get it. 1112 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 4: But I already can question your judgment, not once, but 1113 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 4: multiple times. This bothers me especially, And I'm just gonna 1114 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 4: say this when you happen to play at Georgia and 1115 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 4: you have judgment issues, because there's a bit of a 1116 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 4: track record of guys with judgment issues at Georgia that 1117 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 4: don't tend to pan out in high drafted spots. So 1118 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 4: I look at Carter and I just say, yeah, I 1119 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 4: get it with the talent, but he just seems to 1120 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 4: be coasting on that talent as opposed to really showing 1121 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 4: me he wants this. And that would make me if 1122 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,319 Speaker 4: I'm the Texans, He's not even considered it too. But 1123 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 4: he's a guy that I would be very wary of 1124 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,439 Speaker 4: taking with anything in the top ten. 1125 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of how I feel as well. Is 1126 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's undraftable. I'm not even saying that 1127 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 2: necessarily he's done anything wrong other than show really really 1128 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 2: really bad judgment. But what I would also say is 1129 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 2: it is kind of that old cliche. You know, if 1130 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 2: he's doing this without very much money in his pocket, 1131 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 2: what's he gonna do when he's a very highly paid professional. 1132 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 2: And what's the old cliche? You know, money doesn't what 1133 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 2: is it doesn't change your character, reveals more of who 1134 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 2: you were already were. 1135 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, by the way I'll mention this, like 1136 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 4: certainly I want to be completely about this like that. 1137 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 4: That's the thing. And I would imagine any team that 1138 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 4: was doing their evaluation on this would want to be wrong. 1139 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,320 Speaker 4: I hope the dude has no more problems in his life, 1140 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 4: hope his judgment is great, all this other kind of stuff. 1141 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 4: But here's what the NFL Draft is. The NFL Draft 1142 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 4: is just a big old prediction fest, That's what it is. 1143 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 2: It's a bunch of teams, it's a bunch. 1144 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 4: Of millionaires, billionaire owners making decisions that are based on 1145 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 4: what they predict is the most likely scenario to take 1146 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,120 Speaker 4: place with a bunch of young men that could make 1147 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 4: or break their careers, bring them trophies, bring their cities, 1148 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 4: all this happiness and joy and all this so predicting. 1149 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 4: I think a lot of prediction when you're looking at 1150 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 4: this character plays into that. Judgment plays into that. That's 1151 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 4: why you can't discount it. 1152 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and to be clear, you know we're gonna talk 1153 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 2: a lot about the NFL Draft both tonight and of 1154 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 2: course next week as well, and we've gotta have strong 1155 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,760 Speaker 2: opinions on guys and we're not rooting again against anybody 1156 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,800 Speaker 2: to fail, but you know, we have to have opinions, 1157 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 2: and based on the stuff that we know about Jalen Carter, 1158 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 2: i'd be a little concerned.

I'll explain next. 1166 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

It is halftime at Crypto 1169 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 2: dot Com Arena. Lakers up by sixteen points fifty three 1170 00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 2: to thirty seven, had a lead by as much as 1171 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 2: twenty nine points in the first half. Grizzies scratching and 1172 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 2: claw on their way back. So Jason, want to continue 1173 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 2: the conversation. NFL Draft is on Thursday night again, our 1174 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 2: Draft show starting at eight pm Eastern Time here on 1175 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Best Insider of the Biz Jay Glazer, 1176 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 2: alongside Rob Stone, LeVar Arrington, and former Cardinals GM Steve Kime. 1177 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 2: By the way, the Cardinals drafting at number three overall 1178 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: this year, So I had a thought, Jason, and it 1179 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 2: kind of kind of stems, honestly, back to our conversation 1180 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 2: about the number two pick with the Houston Texans, and 1181 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 2: that's this is that. So again for the thousandth time, 1182 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 2: we know Bryce Young is going number one. But after that, 1183 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 2: like there is like real like I mean, we just 1184 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 2: had the debate are they gonna go defense? With Will 1185 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 2: Anderson Are they gonna go CEJ. Stroud despite some low 1186 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 2: test scores? Are they gonna go Will Levis despite the 1187 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 2: fact that you know, like he wasn't a good college quarterback? 1188 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 2: Who knows what I was thinking, though, Jason was this. 1189 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 2: How much, if any impact do you think it has 1190 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 2: on this particular draft that Caleb Williams is in next 1191 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 2: year's NFL draft? And let me explain is that most 1192 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 2: people I think think of Caleb boys, maybe not as 1193 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 2: like a generational talent. But it goes without saying. Pretty 1194 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 2: much everyone's in agreement. If he was in this draft, 1195 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 2: he would be the number one overall. Pick all the 1196 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 2: concerns you have about Bryce Young's size, all that is 1197 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 2: not the problem, not a problem for Caleb Williams. He 1198 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 2: has all the same great ability to diagnose defenses da 1199 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 2: da dah, this and that, And so I bring it 1200 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 2: up because if you are the Texans, and if you 1201 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 2: are not sold on a CJ. Stroud or a will 1202 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 2: Levis or whomever, I know, you can't really take in 1203 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 2: the NFL. But Tamiko Ryans ain't Lovey Smith, Demiko Ryans 1204 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 2: ain't David Cully. Tamiko Ryans has a six year contract, 1205 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 2: he's going to be around for a while, whether it 1206 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 2: is the Texans, whether it is whomever that could the 1207 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 2: Colts at number four? Do you avoid the quarterback? And 1208 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 2: especially the Texans, but the Colts, I think they've been 1209 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 2: they need they need a quarterback, and they need to 1210 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 2: pick one and see if he's the guy or not. 1211 01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 2: But do you do you sort of kind of pass 1212 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 2: on the quarterback and say, you know, if we're if 1213 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 2: we're not great next year, not necessarily the worst thing, 1214 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 2: because we have a potential generational quarterback in Caleb Williams. 1215 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, people love Drake may as well. 1216 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 2: What do you think about that, Jason? 1217 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 4: I think that if you're gonna do that, you don't 1218 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 4: go higher. Damiko Ryans, I think that's that's kind of 1219 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 4: where well, just because you're gonna bring him in and say, yeah, 1220 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 4: so this year we're gonna stink and we don't really 1221 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 4: care that how that's gonna make you look real quick, 1222 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 4: we're giving it up. 1223 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 2: Let me give you the Devil's advocate. He's a defensive 1224 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,440 Speaker 2: coach anyway. Oh, by the way, he comes from the 1225 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 2: forty nine ers, where they've never had a great quarterback. 1226 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 2: But then three, Most importantly, he has a six year deal. 1227 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,200 Speaker 2: It's not win now mode, like they brought him in 1228 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 2: specifically knowing that they're probably not gonna win a ton 1229 01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 2: of your one, you know what I mean? 1230 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that to an extent, But don't you 1231 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 4: think that one of the appetizing features of the job 1232 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 4: for Diamico Ryans, or for any coach in that situation, 1233 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 4: and you can name others where this is the case 1234 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 4: as well, is that you get to come in and 1235 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 4: pick your quarterback like that becomes kind of part of it. 1236 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 4: And yeah, you get to pick him next year perhaps, 1237 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 4: but right now you're sitting in the number two spot. Now, 1238 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 4: if they trade out of that spot and trade down, 1239 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 4: which I guess could still happen, then you know, somebody's 1240 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 4: become enamored with Lovis or Richardson or somebody wants to 1241 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 4: take Stroud and you're not high off the charts on 1242 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 4: any of the three of those guys. And maybe you're Houston, 1243 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 4: You're like, we'd like to take Kendon Hooker and we're 1244 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 4: gonna see if we can pull that off later on 1245 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 4: in the draft. Now, that's something that's a different story, 1246 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 4: But I don't think that, and Dimiko of course has 1247 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 4: ties to Houston and everything else because he played there 1248 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 4: and all that. Like, all that makes sense. But if 1249 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 4: I'm taking that job, or if I'm taking one of 1250 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 4: these gigs, one of the reasons why I want to 1251 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 4: take that job is because I get to pick my quarterback. 1252 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 4: I think the same thing is true of Psyching in Indianapolis. 1253 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 4: Like he gets to come in, he's gonna get to 1254 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 4: pick his guy. That's why, Look, you bring in Frank 1255 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 4: Reigan Carolina, He's gonna go get his guy. They have 1256 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 4: the you know, they have exactly what they want in 1257 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 4: this scenario, that's ideal. You don't usually get to come 1258 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 4: into a job and pick your quarterback like that. Cliff 1259 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 4: got to do that with Kyler Murray. So I have 1260 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,919 Speaker 4: to think that's part of the draw. So you can't. 1261 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 4: Hey Dimiko, hey man, we promised we're gonna get your 1262 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 4: guy next year, but we like those guys a little 1263 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 4: bit better, so you know, this year, why not just 1264 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 4: pass on the qbs. I just don't see that. I 1265 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 4: don't think that it can be that simple for a 1266 01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 4: first year coach that's gonna be there a while really. 1267 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 2: Quick, because I want to get to this Segre is 1268 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 2: tanking even possible in the NFL, Like I mean, you 1269 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 2: could just be bad, like Jacksonville was bad for a 1270 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 2: few years, but they weren't actively trying to lose, Like 1271 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 2: the NBA feels like you can tank. I don't feel 1272 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 2: like you can really tank in the NFL, even if 1273 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 2: you know now now you know week fourteen, if you're 1274 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 2: one in whatever, thirteen, one, and twelve, that's a little 1275 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,200 Speaker 2: bit different. But going into a season, cause there's been 1276 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 2: years in the NBA where like you literally just kind 1277 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 2: of call it a year and you don't even try it. 1278 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:21,440 Speaker 2: I don't think you can really do that in the NFL. 1279 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:26,960 Speaker 4: Right, Uh, yeah, no, I don't know that you can. 1280 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 2: By the way, do you see what just happened in 1281 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 2: the game, a little dust up between Dylan Brooks and 1282 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 2: Lebron James. 1283 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 4: It looks like, remember what I was saying before the game, 1284 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,600 Speaker 4: so there was gonna be something, not a dust up 1285 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 4: a James Harden, except this one should have been called 1286 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 4: like this was a low blow, big time. 1287 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, we need an update. No 1288 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 2: better man in the business to get as an update 1289 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 2: than Steve de saeger Stoss it over the news desk 1290 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 2: to saga, what do you got? 1291 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,439 Speaker 7: Lakers have largely been blowing out Memphis all night here 1292 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 7: in Game three of their first round NBA playoff series, 1293 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 7: and Dylan Brooks has just been kicked out of the 1294 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 7: game early in the third quarter as he delivered a 1295 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 7: left to Lebron James below the belt as James was 1296 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 7: bringing the ball up. So Brooks exits three of thirteen 1297 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 7: shooting from the floor seven points. Lakers are leading only 1298 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 7: fifty three to thirty seven again early in the third 1299 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,560 Speaker 7: Lakers were up fifty to twenty four late in the 1300 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,919 Speaker 7: second quarter. It was just a dominant first quarter, specifically 1301 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 7: eighteen to two, lead thirty five to nine over Memphis 1302 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 7: after the first period. In fact, there was a stat 1303 01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 7: from TSN tonight that in NBA history, only four teams 1304 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 7: have come back to win a playoff game after going 1305 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 7: down twenty or more in the first quarter. The Lakers 1306 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 7: in their history have done it twice. Celtics did it 1307 01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 7: in two thousand and eight. I believe that would have 1308 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 7: been in the finals against the Lakers, and the Spurs 1309 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 7: did it about a decade ago, but quite rare. And now, 1310 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 7: of course, Brooks is not going to be playing for 1311 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 7: the rest of the second half, and by the way, 1312 01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 7: John Morant is playing tonight. The star guard for the 1313 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 7: Grizzlies return missed one game with a bruised hand. John 1314 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 7: Morant four of ten, shooting sixteen points, but the Lakers 1315 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 7: still with a double digit lead in this one Winter 1316 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 7: Tonight goes up two games to one. 1317 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 6: Eight seed. 1318 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 7: Miami leads two games to one after ripping Milwaukee tonight 1319 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 7: one twenty one to ninety nine.

But then also 1353 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 2: people can chime in as well. I want to do 1354 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 2: an NFL Draft hot takes and what I want to 1355 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,320 Speaker 2: do here over these next couple of minutes. It's just 1356 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 2: one thought that you have that might not be a 1357 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 2: full you know, it's not a segment like what a CJ. 1358 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 2: Stroud and what about that? And it's just something that 1359 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 2: you think is gonna happen on Thursday. This is the 1360 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 2: last time you and I will be on air. Obviously, Disager, 1361 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,600 Speaker 2: Profett and everybody will be around over the course of 1362 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 2: the week, but you and I will not be here. 1363 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 2: So Chris give us a little music, We'll do some 1364 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 2: NFL Draft hot takes. I'll share mine really quick, everybody 1365 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 2: can react to it, and then we'll go around the 1366 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 2: room and do the same. So my NFL Draft hot take, 1367 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 2: Jason Martin very quickly is this. I think either Will 1368 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 2: Levis or Anthony Richardson falls out of the top ten. 1369 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 2: I don't have to stole mine. Yeah, my thought really quick, 1370 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 2: and then you can expand on it. If you think 1371 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 2: that is a hot take or whatever is every year 1372 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 2: we get sold on all these guys and then what 1373 01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 2: happens on draft night some GM realizes, isn't I career 1374 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 2: is based on drafting a guy that everybody has questions on. 1375 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 2: Last year it was Malik Willis. A few years before that, 1376 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 2: remember Gino Smith was gonna go number one overall to 1377 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 2: the Jets, and he ended up at in the second round. 1378 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,760 Speaker 2: By the way, Anthony Davis down in the Lakers game. 1379 01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated on that does not look good. 1380 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 2: But that's my point is every year I'm told about 1381 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,640 Speaker 2: all these great quarterbacks and then it comes time for 1382 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 2: the GM to draft him, put his entire career on 1383 01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 2: the line. It doesn't happen. I think one of them 1384 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 2: tumbles out of the first first, top ten picks and 1385 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:33,040 Speaker 2: maybe even further. 1386 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 10: Jakes I was gonna say, I talked with Bucky Brooks 1387 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 10: one year. I think it was last year when he 1388 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 10: only gave one quarterback a first round grade. In the 1389 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,599 Speaker 10: midst of that, Malik Willis and Spencer Ratler hype and 1390 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 10: it's I think the thing we talked about was like, 1391 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,639 Speaker 10: your first blush on quarterbacks is always right, Yeah, because 1392 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,599 Speaker 10: like guys start to talk themselves into the quarterbacks. Sometimes 1393 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,679 Speaker 10: it happens Mitch Trubisky, but usually most of the time, 1394 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,600 Speaker 10: your your first instinct is right on quarterbacks and the 1395 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 10: rest is just us talking up draft season. 1396 01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,839 Speaker 2: Jason, did you have anything to add since I stole 1397 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 2: your since I stole your take, there anything to add? 1398 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? See, I don't know how hot that is because 1399 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 4: it has happened in the past and somebody falls and 1400 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 4: that becomes a storyline. I look at a few of 1401 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 4: these things and I just kind of say to myself, 1402 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 4: I think somebody will reach on Richardson in the top ten, 1403 01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 4: but I do not. 1404 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 2: I just don't see will Levis going in the top ten. 1405 01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 2: I just don't. 1406 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,800 Speaker 4: I think he's the one we're gonna be staring at 1407 01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,840 Speaker 4: in the green room or whatever. I'm not saying he 1408 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,599 Speaker 4: makes it to twenty. I don't think he does. But 1409 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 4: I just don't believe the hype. And as soon as 1410 01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 4: I hear now he's the betting favorite to go to, 1411 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,639 Speaker 4: that gives me all the red flags that I need. 1412 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 2: I feel like he's probably, you know, and I'm. 1413 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 4: Not sure where, but twelve to fifteen somewhere in that range, 1414 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 4: which good for him. He's still gonna do very well. 1415 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's not. I just think of those 1416 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,559 Speaker 4: four guys. If you say first blush, well, my first 1417 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,720 Speaker 4: blush on Levis has always been the same. So I 1418 01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,600 Speaker 4: feel pretty comfortable in saying I think it will be 1419 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 4: him specifically, whereas I could see somebody looking at just 1420 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 4: the raw talent and being able to mold in Anthony 1421 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 4: Richardson and being able to talk yourself into that one. 1422 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 2: By the way, the betting markets all over the place. 1423 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 2: Remember before the combine, there was Anthony Richardson buzz at 1424 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:14,599 Speaker 2: number one. 1425 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 4: Then it was C. J. 1426 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,800 Speaker 2: Stroud, As you said, Jason, before the Bryce Young hype 1427 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 2: continued the last couple of days, Bryce Young's going one. 1428 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 2: I do think one of those two falls, and I 1429 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 2: agree with you. I think it's because of the natural 1430 01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 2: town of Anthony Richardson. Somebody takes a chance. I believe 1431 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,680 Speaker 2: Will Levis falls. Chris, the floor is yours. What's your 1432 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 2: NFL draft? Hot take? Give me something. 1433 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 5: I will note. 1434 01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 10: I will just note real quick those odds like going 1435 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,240 Speaker 10: nuts on Tyree Wilson too, which I just don't buy. 1436 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,160 Speaker 10: But I want to focus on Jalen Carter because I've 1437 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 10: been following along with a lot of these meetings have 1438 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 10: happened in the past month. A lot of teams have 1439 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,719 Speaker 10: been kind of asking for meetings with George's Jalen Carter. 1440 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 10: You know, checkered off season here with the racing, with 1441 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 10: the with the with the misdemeanor charge in Georgia, with 1442 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:57,760 Speaker 10: the weight issues during his pro day. From what I 1443 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 10: have seen from a lot of these meetings gms, they've 1444 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 10: said a few nice things. I think the Lions GM 1445 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 10: used the words that he felt better, but by and large, 1446 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 10: a lot of them just don't seem plussed on Jalen Carter. 1447 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 10: And I will say that if Jalen Carter makes it 1448 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 10: past the Seattle Seahawks, who are known to take people 1449 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,679 Speaker 10: with some check marks and try to turn them around 1450 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 10: this because that's Supee Carreless. But Jalen Carter has a 1451 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 10: really good chance to fall out of probably the first 1452 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,679 Speaker 10: half of the first round of this draft. 1453 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:28,680 Speaker 7: And I agree with Jason, I wouldn't take him in 1454 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 7: the top ten. I would be scared away from him 1455 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 7: by the way. Anthony Davis with a cut lip apparently, 1456 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 7: so he went for a loose ball under the basket 1457 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 7: and tripped over something and then I guess a leg 1458 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 7: into his face. But it's not like he's out for 1459 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 7: the rest of the night. 1460 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,759 Speaker 2: Very good. I by the way, I agree with Chris, 1461 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,559 Speaker 2: I agree with the Segar. I agree with Jason. If 1462 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,479 Speaker 2: it was just the racing, which I shouldn't say just 1463 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 2: because it was obviously a tragic incident. It's one thing, 1464 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,839 Speaker 2: but then two weeks later, after you've been literally arrested, 1465 01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 2: you then can't even make it through your pro day, 1466 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:01,960 Speaker 2: just ran flag upon red flag. I'm with you, Chris, 1467 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 2: I'm with you to Saga. I'm with you Jason. I 1468 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 2: get the talent, I'd be very afraid. 1469 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,519 Speaker 10: So the stock is just dropping real hard, and I 1470 01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 10: think it's made people also reevaluate some of the tape 1471 01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,680 Speaker 10: from Georgia too, And I don't know. I think I 1472 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 10: think he's still maybe first round talent, but I mean, 1473 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 10: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put my chips down 1474 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 10: so he falls out of the first round. 1475 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,680 Speaker 7: Here my first round talent. I mean, the athleticism and 1476 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,639 Speaker 7: strength is just ridiculous. However, I'd be scared away from 1477 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 7: him personally that high. I agree I'd be scared away, 1478 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,879 Speaker 7: frankly from Bryce Young at that size for an NFL quarterback. 1479 01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,840 Speaker 2: That's all the sager. Is that your hot take? 1480 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,440 Speaker 7: Go ahead, No, that's not even my hot take. Ridiculous 1481 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 7: numbers in college football. But for everybody who says, yeah, 1482 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 7: but Drew Brees, like, you know, Drew Brees wasn't Drew 1483 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 7: Brees for most of his years with the Chargers and 1484 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 7: was not a first rounder by the way, So if 1485 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:55,400 Speaker 7: he's actually six feet one ninety four, wow, okay, you're 1486 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,559 Speaker 7: gonna that six feet one ninety four is gonna be 1487 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,360 Speaker 7: your franchise quarterback at this age. I don't know about that. 1488 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 7: My hot take is that I heard Jason Smith weeknights 1489 01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,679 Speaker 7: here saying his hot take, which is four quarterbacks top 1490 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,479 Speaker 7: four selections Thursday night, to which I said, and then 1491 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 7: somebody will draft Will Anderson number five and win a 1492 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 7: lot of games. Yeah, I think this is a superb 1493 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,679 Speaker 7: selection Will Anderson. 1494 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:22,120 Speaker 4: Yes. 1495 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:22,599 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1496 01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 2: And by the way, if Will Anderson falls to five, 1497 01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 2: I think Pete Carroll, the defensive coach, you know the 1498 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 2: league is all going offense. Pete Carroll, you know they 1499 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 2: get that gift top five pick. Thanks Denver Broncos. Sorry, Jason, Yeah, 1500 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,479 Speaker 2: he's doing backflips to get Will Anderson. I agree with you, 1501 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,519 Speaker 2: and I'm end of that. As Jason said, checks all 1502 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 2: the boxes. Great character, great leader. I heard Joe klat 1503 01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 2: say he thinks he's a Day one captain as far 1504 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 2: as at a leader in the locker room. 1505 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, a motor in which they always talk about with 1506 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 7: draft prospects. It's the opposite of what we're talking about 1507 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:56,439 Speaker 7: with Jalen Carter, right. 1508 01:13:56,560 --> 01:14:00,719 Speaker 2: Especially along the defensive line. Right, that's just an attrition position, 1509 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 2: like you just gotta be bringing it every single you 1510 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 2: know snap, and eventually you're gonna get to the quarterback. 1511 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 10: Such edge is always high value in draft, regardless of 1512 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 10: everything else. 1513 01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 2: Pat, what do you got? 1514 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 4: All right? All right? 1515 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 3: Going off with the coattails of Will levis supposedly going 1516 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 3: number two to Houston if that does happen, and number 1517 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 3: three Arizona's on the clock. 1518 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:22,920 Speaker 2: Hot take for you. 1519 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,639 Speaker 3: I think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna trade up number three, 1520 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 3: Go take CJ. Stroud because that'll be their guy if 1521 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 3: that happens. 1522 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 2: Wow. 1523 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 4: Only reason I disagree is I don't think Arizona's gonna 1524 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,960 Speaker 4: give a quarterback into Oh I know, yeah, unless but 1525 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,280 Speaker 4: if anybody was dumb enough to do it, it might 1526 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:40,639 Speaker 4: be the Arizona Cardinals. 1527 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,120 Speaker 10: They and they would absolutely have to jump whoever would 1528 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:44,759 Speaker 10: do it. It would absolutely have to trade with the Cardinals 1529 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:46,280 Speaker 10: to jump the Colts at that point too. 1530 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you wonder almost if the Colts, like, do they 1531 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,000 Speaker 2: use why it might be the Titans. O man, your 1532 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,640 Speaker 2: hot take to if CJ. Stroud doesn't go too the 1533 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 2: Titans straight up to three. I don't know how much 1534 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 2: their new GA like CJ. 1535 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 4: Shott. 1536 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:01,600 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1537 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 4: I'm not covering the team on a day to day 1538 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 4: basis anymore, but I say there's a fifty to fifty 1539 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,800 Speaker 4: shot that the Titans are still trying to make it 1540 01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 4: work to get up to three because they know they 1541 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,599 Speaker 4: have to address this. And if you saw Malik Willis 1542 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 4: last year, he's still a year away from being a 1543 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,400 Speaker 4: year away. I don't think that that's gonna work out 1544 01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 4: on the NFL level, and they know it, and so 1545 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 4: maybe they leverage to go up if they like one 1546 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 4: of these guys. 1547 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:30,559 Speaker 2: Those are your NFL Draft hot takes again.

By the way, somebody just tweeted at me. 1563 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:30,559 Speaker 2: Brian says, you called it on Brooks. Torres, Well, actually 1564 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,960 Speaker 2: it was Jason Martin who led the show by saying, 1565 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,439 Speaker 2: I have a feeling something weird is gonna happen in 1566 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 2: this game with those two Dylan Brooks of course was 1567 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:40,200 Speaker 2: calling out Lebron his age, I need somebody that can 1568 01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 2: get me forty. So Dylan Brooks is out of this one. 1569 01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,560 Speaker 2: That is the big story right now. Also, the Travante 1570 01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 2: Tank Davis versus Ryan Garcia fight is underway to Saga. 1571 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:52,720 Speaker 2: Will get us an update as soon as that one 1572 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 2: goes final, Jason. For all the things going on to 1573 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 2: college in sports right now, it is quiet like we 1574 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 2: do have some college football spring games, and we talked 1575 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,559 Speaker 2: a little bit later about Dion Sanders made his debut 1576 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 2: coach prime at Colorado today, But a bunch of games 1577 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 2: last weekend, a bunch of games this weekend. One that 1578 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 2: was last weekend was the University of Texas, And maybe 1579 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 2: really the only noteworthy thing that's come out of any 1580 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 2: of these spring games was that Quinn Ewers was officially 1581 01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 2: named the starter for next season by Steve Sarkisian. Obviously, 1582 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 2: this spring was the debut of Arch Manning. But when 1583 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian named Quinn Yours the starter, I mean you 1584 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 2: and I know college football. I think it was one 1585 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 2: because quinn Ewers is just a third year guy. He's 1586 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 2: more ready for the situation start at college games. But 1587 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 2: two you know, if you leave any uncertainty going into 1588 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 2: the offseason, there's always a chance some guy hits the portal. 1589 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,559 Speaker 2: But I bring it up because it was a little 1590 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 2: bit of a talking point this week. But it feels 1591 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,760 Speaker 2: like Quinn Ewers, a thirty year quarterback who was a 1592 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,400 Speaker 2: five star coming out of high school by the way, 1593 01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 2: being named the starter of Texas somehow became an indictment 1594 01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 2: that arch Manning is already overrated. And maybe you saw it, 1595 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 2: maybe an in Jason, but there was already a spliced 1596 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,880 Speaker 2: up video on TikTok and social media of all his 1597 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 2: incomplete passes from spring Day from their spring game. My 1598 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 2: question for you, Jason, is arch Manning already overrated? Is 1599 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 2: it time to write the obituary on his career? Laid 1600 01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:24,200 Speaker 2: on me? 1601 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 4: No, he's not overrated. He's overcovered. Like it's the spring 1602 01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:34,719 Speaker 4: game and it's not his senior year. He's bare barely 1603 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 4: out of high school and we're already trying to pick 1604 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,120 Speaker 4: him apart. He's I feel sorry for him in some ways. 1605 01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 4: Now he's gonna get advantages because of his last name, 1606 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 4: but he's also going to get covered and seen and 1607 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,759 Speaker 4: viewed differently and not get the benefit of the doubt 1608 01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,120 Speaker 4: because of his last name, and he's going to a 1609 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,519 Speaker 4: university that never gets the benefit of the doubt either 1610 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 4: because generally they don't earn it. I don't know if 1611 01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,879 Speaker 4: you saw this piece. Did you see the Ari Washerman 1612 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 4: article any athletic about Texas and about you weres basically 1613 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,720 Speaker 4: taking it and saying last year he just felt like 1614 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 4: he let the let the fans down and all this. 1615 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,120 Speaker 4: Yours played pretty well overall, but the team, of course 1616 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 4: underperform for Sarkisian and year two. But I saw a 1617 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,799 Speaker 4: stat that was absolutely baffling, actually a few of them. 1618 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 4: First off, only four of the five stars seventeen the 1619 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 4: seventeen five star signees for Texas between two thousand and 1620 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 4: nine and twenty nineteen were actually even drafted. That's dead 1621 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,640 Speaker 4: last twenty three percent in developing four star prospects in 1622 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,879 Speaker 4: NFL players, only seventeen of one forty six got drafted. 1623 01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 4: This is something I couldn't believe. Do you know who 1624 01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 4: the last first round offensive draft pick out of the 1625 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 4: University of Texas's is it? 1626 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:49,719 Speaker 2: Vince Young? 1627 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,799 Speaker 4: It's Vince Young two thousand and six. B Jon Robinson's 1628 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 4: probably gonna end that streak this week. Texas got big 1629 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 4: time issues in terms of development. It's what this article 1630 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 4: is all about. But generally speaking, their lines have been 1631 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,679 Speaker 4: terrible for a long time and they've had a bunch 1632 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 4: of coach turnover. I don't think arch Manning is who 1633 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,280 Speaker 4: we need to be looking at right now. Texas has 1634 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 4: a bit. This is a big year for Steve Sarkisian. 1635 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 4: There's a lot more to talk about here. 1636 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,920 Speaker 2: There is, and we'll get there closer. By the way, 1637 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:20,799 Speaker 2: we have a final in Vegas technical knockout. Davonte Davis 1638 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 2: beats Ryan Garcia in the seventh round. We'll discuss that 1639 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:29,639 Speaker 2: next busy show, Fox Wortraight, Welcome man, everybody, Fox Sports Radio, 1640 01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday, Aeron Taurus, Jason Martin.

At Cryptorena Crypto dot Com 1646 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 2: Arena in Los Angeles. The Lakers up by nineteen points 1647 01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,120 Speaker 2: two and a half minutes to go. Jason, what I 1648 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 2: think is most disappointing about this current situation was this 1649 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 2: was kind of the game that I think most people 1650 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 2: kind of had circled because every other game today was 1651 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,640 Speaker 2: marred by injuries. No Giannis for the Bucks and a 1652 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 2: loss to that to the Heat in game four of 1653 01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 2: that series, game game three, Game four, I forget, I'm 1654 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,799 Speaker 2: blanking here. I think it is game that was Game three. 1655 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 2: I apologize there. So they are down two to one 1656 01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 2: in that series. Game four earlier at Crypto Arena, the 1657 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 2: Suns go up three to one in that series with 1658 01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,519 Speaker 2: no Kawhi Leonard, no Paul George for the Los Angeles Clippers, 1659 01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 2: and then the early game no Joe lmbied for the 1660 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 2: Philadelphia seventy six ers, and the seventy six are still advanced, 1661 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 2: winning that game and that series for nothing. Jason, really 1662 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 2: quick on this one. You know, it looks like the 1663 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,840 Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna pull away. We'll obviously react a little 1664 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:52,840 Speaker 2: bit in real time when it goes final here in 1665 01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 2: a few minutes. But again they're up by nineteen points 1666 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 2: early in or late in the third quarter. Excuse me, 1667 01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,679 Speaker 2: I was just ask you, you know, as we look 1668 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 2: at the and listen the Lakers. Let's say they win, 1669 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 2: It's still it's two to one. There's a lot left 1670 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 2: in this series, let alone these playoffs. But I just 1671 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 2: ask you, with the way the Lakers have played, the 1672 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:15,880 Speaker 2: way they took care of business in Game one, the 1673 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,719 Speaker 2: way they've dominated here early in Game three, Dylan Brooks 1674 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,840 Speaker 2: has been ejected, has your opinion on the Lakers changed 1675 01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,160 Speaker 2: it all? Because you know, I remember us talking last 1676 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 2: week and they had yet to play their opening game. 1677 01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 2: They play their opening game on Sunday. But I remember 1678 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 2: sitting there saying, you know, the Grizzlies are young and hungry, 1679 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 2: and then if you beat them, you're probably gonna play 1680 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 2: the Warriors, and then you would, obviously in the Western 1681 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,439 Speaker 2: Conference Finals, potentially have a matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Well, 1682 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,720 Speaker 2: now you look at it, Warriors are down two to 1683 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 2: one going into Game four tomorrow. The Suns look very 1684 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,639 Speaker 2: vulnerable against the beat up Clippers team. The Clippers are 1685 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 2: set to be eliminated. Do you feel differently about not 1686 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 2: only this Lakers team, which is actually pretty healthy with 1687 01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis good to go, but also playing pretty good basketball. 1688 01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 2: Is there in complete control of this game and look 1689 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:00,080 Speaker 2: like they're about to go up two to one in 1690 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:00,639 Speaker 2: this series. 1691 01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I certainly feel better about them today even 1692 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,759 Speaker 4: than I did a week ago, because there are cracks 1693 01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,320 Speaker 4: in a lot of the West foundations. I still just 1694 01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,639 Speaker 4: don't buy into Denver, even though I mean, certainly they're 1695 01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:16,679 Speaker 4: handling the Tea Wolves, but I've just I've seen too 1696 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 4: often that team with that roster not end up getting 1697 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 4: the job done, and so I could see them being 1698 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 4: beaten again at some point along this road. Sacramento would 1699 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 4: be an interesting one just because of how young they 1700 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 4: are and how fast they are and how explosive they 1701 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 4: are offensively. Golden State, they certainly look to have some problems. 1702 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 4: They could certainly find their way out of the West 1703 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,679 Speaker 4: as well. But I look at the Lakers and just say, 1704 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,800 Speaker 4: all right, as long as you can tell me they're 1705 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 4: gonna be healthy, they're gonna be difficult for anybody to 1706 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:52,000 Speaker 4: beat Phoenix. I'm not sold is gonna stay healthy. I 1707 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,320 Speaker 4: just am not. There's way too many factors and way 1708 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 4: too many people there that have deep injury histories for 1709 01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 4: me to feel good about it. So yeah, yeah, I 1710 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 4: feel a lot better about the Lakers, Like the Lakers at 1711 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 4: this point, watching them and watching them makeup, and watching 1712 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,599 Speaker 4: how the new additions have really kind of found their 1713 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,719 Speaker 4: way into the fold, and just kind of the rhythm 1714 01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 4: this team is playing with. If they can stay healthy, 1715 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 4: this is a team that I could conceivably see come 1716 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 4: out of the West. I think, and you've said it, 1717 01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 4: and I've said it. I pick Boston, You pig Milwaukee. 1718 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 4: I think the champion is coming out of the East 1719 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 4: this year, but the Lakers could be the opponent of 1720 01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 4: whoever that is. They're good enough in a West that's 1721 01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 4: so wide open that watching them play early in this 1722 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,840 Speaker 4: series and just kind of looking at the chemistry and 1723 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 4: the makeup, they're a dangerous basketball team as long as 1724 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 4: they're healthy. 1725 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 2: I want to talk about two other teams you just mentioned. 1726 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 2: You said you're a little bit worried about the Warriors. 1727 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,439 Speaker 2: Is it just obviously they're down two to one, but 1728 01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,800 Speaker 2: are you worried about the matchup? Are you worried about 1729 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,680 Speaker 2: their durability? Are you worried about Draymond Green staying out 1730 01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,840 Speaker 2: of trouble? Like? What worries you at this point about 1731 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,160 Speaker 2: the Warriors through three games in their series with Game 1732 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,120 Speaker 2: four tomorrow. 1733 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 4: I just feel like it's good well, and I thought 1734 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 4: they would win Game three handily and they basically did uh. 1735 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,800 Speaker 4: And they may do the same thing tomorrow and they 1736 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,040 Speaker 4: may just polish off Sacramento and be fine. I felt 1737 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:12,920 Speaker 4: better about them a couple of weeks ago than I 1738 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,680 Speaker 4: do now, and I think it's just it's just a 1739 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 4: function of age. For me. It's not a very young team. 1740 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 4: It's a team that has a lot of mileage. I 1741 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 4: could see them wearing down, especially if teams get physical 1742 01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 4: with them. Golden State has gotten physical with Sacramento, and 1743 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,720 Speaker 4: we have another pull apart now by the way in 1744 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:37,840 Speaker 4: Mephicin in La, so that one's they're losing control here 1745 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 4: with one to twenty three left in the third. I 1746 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 4: just think Golden State feels a whole lot more beatable. 1747 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 4: They feel a whole lot more pedestrian. They're still capable 1748 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 4: of amazing things, but like being frightened of them. I 1749 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,439 Speaker 4: just don't think that's a team that goes on the 1750 01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 4: road and wins very much. They certainly haven't early in 1751 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,080 Speaker 4: this playoffs, but they didn't have a great road record 1752 01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,559 Speaker 4: this year. I don't think so. I think that's their 1753 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:03,320 Speaker 4: biggest deal is if they're able to play enough at 1754 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,439 Speaker 4: home to win enough to win series at home, that'd 1755 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:07,640 Speaker 4: be one thing, but they can't, Like if Sacramento just 1756 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,200 Speaker 4: wins all their games at home, Golden State goes home. 1757 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,680 Speaker 4: So I look at it and just say, there are 1758 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 4: enough reasons to watch that and just feel there are 1759 01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 4: there are cracks in that armor that haven't been there before, 1760 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 4: where they just seem a little old and a little 1761 01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,639 Speaker 4: slow compared to some of these other teams. 1762 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:28,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I would say is a couple of 1763 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,479 Speaker 2: things is one, this stuff tends to happen. I mean, 1764 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,080 Speaker 2: this is a group that's been too so many deep 1765 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,000 Speaker 2: playoff runs, including last year. I mean an NBA Finals 1766 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 2: run for a group that their entire core is in 1767 01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 2: their late thirties, that's a tough turnaround. I mean, you know, 1768 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 2: it just is. I think the other thing that's kind 1769 01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 2: of stood out, and this has been a criticism of 1770 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,680 Speaker 2: mine about the NBA in general, is you know, I 1771 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,559 Speaker 2: think we all and I will include myself on this too, 1772 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 2: is I think you know, we were just ready to 1773 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:00,880 Speaker 2: kind of hand the baton to the younger guys on 1774 01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:05,040 Speaker 2: that team. Jordan Poole four points in game one or 1775 01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:07,559 Speaker 2: four points in game two. Excuse me. I did have 1776 01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,640 Speaker 2: seventeen in game one, but it was kind of a 1777 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 2: sloppy performance. Wasn't a great shooting night from him, even 1778 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,680 Speaker 2: on even in the win over Sacramento the other night. 1779 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,479 Speaker 2: In game three, Jordan Poole does finish with seventeen points, 1780 01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 2: but he did it in terms of his shooting percentage 1781 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,320 Speaker 2: four of thirteen from the field, one of seven. So 1782 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:27,760 Speaker 2: you know, you're relying on those guys to kind of 1783 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 2: take a step up, take some of the heat off 1784 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 2: the veteran guys, and that just hasn't happened. So that's 1785 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,840 Speaker 2: one with them. And then two, I think the thing 1786 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 2: that has struck me about this series is how much 1787 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 2: they've had to exert to even you know, like so 1788 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,879 Speaker 2: like and this is always the thing with any bracket 1789 01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 2: style event, you know, even like you know, the NCAA tournament. 1790 01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,479 Speaker 2: Sometimes a team pulls off an upset, but can they 1791 01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 2: do it another two three games to really make a run. 1792 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 2: And I look at the Warriors and it's like, man 1793 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,960 Speaker 2: like had to really push in game one in game two, 1794 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 2: couldn't get the winning either one in a best case scenario, 1795 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,960 Speaker 2: even if they somehow win this series, you know, the 1796 01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,559 Speaker 2: series against Sacramento you're talking about probably in six to 1797 01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 2: seven games, and then oh, by the way, you gotta 1798 01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 2: deal with the Lakers almost certainly in the next round. 1799 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 2: So I'm with you on the Warriors. The other team 1800 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about was the Phoenix Suns, 1801 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 2: because I do agree with you on them. And I'll 1802 01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,599 Speaker 2: say this is, you know, we all have strong opinions 1803 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 2: in this business. We get a lot of stuff right, 1804 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,559 Speaker 2: We got a lot of stuff wrong. One thing that 1805 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:35,720 Speaker 2: I was adamant about, Like, I get why when you 1806 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 2: have the chance to trade for Kevin Durant, you do 1807 01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 2: it if you're Phoenix. But I remember coming on air 1808 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 2: with you the day after whatever it was, the couple 1809 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 2: days after that trade, and I said, you gave up 1810 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,040 Speaker 2: your entire bench to get him, And like, I get it. 1811 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,799 Speaker 2: It's Kevin Durant, new owner. You want to make a splash, 1812 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 2: you want to let them know that you're contending. But 1813 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,680 Speaker 2: you look at this series right now, and yes, the 1814 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns are up three to one. They will have 1815 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 2: a chance to close things out at home here in 1816 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,760 Speaker 2: the next few days. But even today you struggle to 1817 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:13,000 Speaker 2: survive a Kawhi slash Paul George Liss Clippers team. Kevin 1818 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 2: Durant forty five minutes played, Devin Booker forty one minutes played, 1819 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:20,519 Speaker 2: Chris Paul thirty eight minutes played. I mean, can you 1820 01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 2: survive four rounds of the playoffs with essentially having no bench? 1821 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,280 Speaker 2: One player off the bench played more than fifteen minutes 1822 01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 2: today against the Clippers team without their two best players. 1823 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:34,080 Speaker 4: Jason, See, that's my whole problem is just you talk 1824 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,240 Speaker 4: about not having a bench, and then you talk about 1825 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:39,120 Speaker 4: Durant that's been hurt for years, and you talk about 1826 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,560 Speaker 4: Chris Paul that is perennially gotten hurt in the playoffs, 1827 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 4: and Devin Booker that's dealt with injuries. They can't sustain 1828 01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,280 Speaker 4: injuries to any of those guys because there's nobody backing 1829 01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 4: them up. That was the thing about the Rams, right, Like, 1830 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:53,599 Speaker 4: if you want to look at what the Suns did, 1831 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 4: look at what the Rams did when they brought in 1832 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford, and you're like, well, how are they doing this? 1833 01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:59,599 Speaker 4: How are they paying Von Miller, and how are they 1834 01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 4: doing all these things from a financial standpoint, Well, the 1835 01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 4: biggest thing they're doing is they have no depth. They 1836 01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 4: had no depth. They were paper thin, and they were 1837 01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 4: able to stay healthy. You mentioned Odell, I mean Odell 1838 01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 4: went down, and of course you had Robert Woods go down. 1839 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,000 Speaker 4: That set up Odell being there in the first place. 1840 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,640 Speaker 4: But they were paper thin. They didn't have second and 1841 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 4: third the same way that they would before and some 1842 01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,639 Speaker 4: of that. So that's the problem. Like it worked out 1843 01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,679 Speaker 4: for the Rams, But you're telling me three of your 1844 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,840 Speaker 4: starting five, that's sixty percent of your starting five are 1845 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 4: guys that have been banged up, and two of your 1846 01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 4: starting five seemed to be banged up more often than 1847 01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:42,519 Speaker 4: they're healthy for years and years now, dating back to 1848 01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,640 Speaker 4: Golden State for Kevin Durant and dating back to the 1849 01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:48,600 Speaker 4: beginning of his career basically for Chris Paul. So I 1850 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 4: look at that and I'm just, man, those odds are 1851 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,439 Speaker 4: not good. If they can stay healthy, they can win 1852 01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 4: the whole thing. They can win it, they can win 1853 01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 4: it all because they have that much talent. With those guys, 1854 01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,640 Speaker 4: and the benches douche short when you get to the playoffs. 1855 01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:05,000 Speaker 4: I'm just not convinced that playing that heavy in minutes 1856 01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:09,800 Speaker 4: if you're those guys is the recipe for success because 1857 01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:10,760 Speaker 4: the chances. 1858 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:14,200 Speaker 2: Are somebody is not getting through that unscathed. No, absolutely, 1859 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:17,479 Speaker 2: and I think that's my biggest concern. And honestly, if 1860 01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:20,880 Speaker 2: you're asking me, even though they're closer to winning the series, 1861 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:24,120 Speaker 2: like I guess, I'm probably a little bit more concerned 1862 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 2: about Golden State because they're down to one as opposed 1863 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 2: to Phoenix, which is up three to one. I don't 1864 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:30,679 Speaker 2: know how you can feel great if you're a Sun's 1865 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 2: fan right now. They do get the win today over 1866 01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:37,600 Speaker 2: a KO Why less Cleveland, Cleveland, Los Angeles Clippers. Excuse me? 1867 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,400 Speaker 2: The see got me thrown off here? And also there's 1868 01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,960 Speaker 2: Cleveland highlights on the TV here. But anyway, Phoenix gets 1869 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,880 Speaker 2: the win. But I am a little bit worried.

Dylan Brooks is out. Lakers are cruising 1887 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,720 Speaker 2: to a victory. They will be up two to one 1888 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,680 Speaker 2: in this series should they hold on to win, and 1889 01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,920 Speaker 2: for all intensive purposes, it looks like they will. Jason 1890 01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,160 Speaker 2: want to switch gears, go back to the NFL. Had 1891 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:02,720 Speaker 2: a lot of fun talking in the draft an hour 1892 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 2: or two. If you missed anything, you could go back 1893 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 2: and download the podcast available shortly after the show. But 1894 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 2: as much fun as as the NFL is, and as 1895 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,840 Speaker 2: much as excited as we are about the NFL Draft, 1896 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,559 Speaker 2: serious story came out of Detroit yesterday. Four Lions, including 1897 01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Jamison Williams, a twenty twenty two first round pick, were 1898 01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,280 Speaker 2: among five players league wide to be suspended for violating 1899 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:28,599 Speaker 2: the NFL's gambling policy after an investigation by the league. 1900 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:33,559 Speaker 2: Quintes Cephis and CJ. Moore suspended indefinitely for betting on 1901 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 2: NFL games, as was Washington Commander's defensive end Shatka Tony 1902 01:33:39,400 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 2: Jamison Williams is Stanley berry Hill suspended for six games 1903 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 2: for betting on an app in the Lions facility. But 1904 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 2: it was not an NFL game. Jason, you know this 1905 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,639 Speaker 2: is all on the heels of the Calvin Ridley stuff, 1906 01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,840 Speaker 2: and we're gonna get an expert perspective. Bernie Frattle lives 1907 01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,320 Speaker 2: in Vegas. He's covered the gambling scene forever. He'll be 1908 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 2: on with us about an hour from now. I just 1909 01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,519 Speaker 2: gotta say, Jason, I really have zero sympathy. I really 1910 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 2: do you know Calvin Ridley does this A year ago, 1911 01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:11,720 Speaker 2: A lot of people, it feels like, tried to make 1912 01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,360 Speaker 2: excuses for him. I didn't at the time. Everybody knows 1913 01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,759 Speaker 2: the rules. You can't bet on NFL games. I guess 1914 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,360 Speaker 2: maybe Stanley berry Hill and Jamison Williams, you give a 1915 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,160 Speaker 2: little bit of a pass too. Maybe they didn't know 1916 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,880 Speaker 2: that you couldn't bet from a team facility, but it's 1917 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:30,320 Speaker 2: pretty clear the collective bargaining agreement is set up in 1918 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 2: the way that it is. You can't bet on NFL games. 1919 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,040 Speaker 2: Everybody knows that. Everybody learned that after the Calvin Ridley situation. 1920 01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,800 Speaker 2: We found out yesterday you cannot bet in anything that's 1921 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 2: team related, So you can't bet in an NFL facility, 1922 01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 2: NFL travel, NFL whatever. But another I don't know if 1923 01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,880 Speaker 2: gambling controversy is what you would call it, but just 1924 01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:54,960 Speaker 2: another just another story involving the NFL and gambling and 1925 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,960 Speaker 2: not a good look for a league that obviously is 1926 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,639 Speaker 2: taking a lot of money as everybody is in sports 1927 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,640 Speaker 2: sports gambling agency. Jason, what did you make of all 1928 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:03,320 Speaker 2: this yesterday? 1929 01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:07,960 Speaker 4: I mean, it's sad, but it's also just and I 1930 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,240 Speaker 4: think this is this is really the only opinion you 1931 01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 4: can have about this, honestly, Like this is not hot 1932 01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 4: take in any way. This is just incredibly dumb of 1933 01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:22,799 Speaker 4: these players because to your point, they know the rules. 1934 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,759 Speaker 4: First off, they just saw this how happened to Calvin 1935 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:29,479 Speaker 4: Ridley exactly. They just saw this happen but even without that, 1936 01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:36,680 Speaker 4: there are speakers brought in, there are symposiums. Everybody in 1937 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 4: team meetings has told this, like, you know this, you 1938 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:44,320 Speaker 4: know you're not to do this. How much money could 1939 01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,680 Speaker 4: it possibly have been worth to you to have done this? 1940 01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 4: Like if you are somebody that just wants to gamble 1941 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:52,720 Speaker 4: because you dig it, you want to get down with 1942 01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,479 Speaker 4: the action, then wait till your career is over and 1943 01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 4: have all the fun that you want. You have all 1944 01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,240 Speaker 4: the money and plenty of it that you can blow 1945 01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:01,519 Speaker 4: if that that's what you feel like you need to do. 1946 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 4: But the risk here and the reward. I don't know 1947 01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 4: what the bet was, but I guarantee you it wasn't 1948 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:11,160 Speaker 4: worth the penalty and the hit to the reputation and 1949 01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:14,320 Speaker 4: everything else. And we understand why these rules have to 1950 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,080 Speaker 4: be there, and we understand why they are so serious, 1951 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:21,200 Speaker 4: because the minute that people don't believe that the sport 1952 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:25,479 Speaker 4: that they're watching is legitimate, they're done very quickly. They 1953 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,320 Speaker 4: will roll away. Pro wrestling is an exception because it's 1954 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,320 Speaker 4: seen differently, But when you look at something like football, 1955 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:33,479 Speaker 4: you have to believe everything is legitimate or what are 1956 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:37,520 Speaker 4: we doing here? When it calls into question the integrity. 1957 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 4: That's where you've got the issue the college football thing. 1958 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,800 Speaker 4: Notwithstanding you still have information other people don't, it still 1959 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 4: could potentially put you in a leveraged situation. I don't 1960 01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:51,880 Speaker 4: know how many times I've heard Michael Francis talk about 1961 01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 4: dealings with college and pro athletes in the past when 1962 01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 4: he was part of the Gambini crime family and just 1963 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 4: laying it out. How much stuff we don't know. But 1964 01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 4: I don't think it would surprise any of us to 1965 01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 4: find out that a lot of players have gotten in 1966 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 4: trouble doing this kind of thing behind and they end 1967 01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 4: up behind in terms of what they owe, and then 1968 01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:15,759 Speaker 4: they have to go make some things happen that benefit 1969 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:20,080 Speaker 4: bookmakers at the expense of you know, you as a 1970 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,080 Speaker 4: fan or whatever else. But like I said, it's not 1971 01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 4: a hot take to say it, but it's just dumb, 1972 01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 4: like go take your penalty because you just paid a 1973 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 4: dumb tax. You paid a you paid a you paid 1974 01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:33,880 Speaker 4: a dumb tax. And some people might think, oh, it's 1975 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,640 Speaker 4: not that big a deal. It's a huge deal, and 1976 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,600 Speaker 4: it's something that they knew they shouldn't do, didn't have 1977 01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:44,640 Speaker 4: to do, took an unnecessary risk, got caught and this 1978 01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 4: is the result. 1979 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I agree with everything, and for people who 1980 01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 2: do not know, and Bernie again will shed light on this. 1981 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 2: First of all, when you said that, Jason reminds me 1982 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,120 Speaker 2: of the phrase that Bernie Fretto use all the time. 1983 01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,599 Speaker 2: Most people get high making the bet, not cashing the bet, 1984 01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:01,560 Speaker 2: and this feels like that, you know. But what I 1985 01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 2: would also say is there's just no excuse because for 1986 01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:07,439 Speaker 2: people who don't know how this works, these teams have 1987 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,880 Speaker 2: speakers in and there is an understanding. And I remember 1988 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 2: talking about this with Calvin Ridley last year. Is I 1989 01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:17,439 Speaker 2: truly believe this. There's basically three things that you can't 1990 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:20,120 Speaker 2: do if you're an NFL player. If you're good enough 1991 01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,280 Speaker 2: to be on a roster that guarantee you won't be one. 1992 01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,200 Speaker 2: Don't do anything that landsay and jail where you literally 1993 01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 2: can't show up to the facility on Sunday to play. 1994 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 4: Two. 1995 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:34,040 Speaker 2: Obviously it's a sensitive time towards domestic violence things of 1996 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:35,840 Speaker 2: that nature. You put your hands on a woman, you're 1997 01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 2: probably not playing in this league. And I have absolutely 1998 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:42,360 Speaker 2: no problem with that. Three, you can't bet on NFL games. 1999 01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 2: This isn't new, This isn't an interesting opinion, This isn't 2000 01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:47,760 Speaker 2: different than it was a year ago with Calvin Ridley, 2001 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,800 Speaker 2: and I had zero sympathy for him then. And for 2002 01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 2: people that say, well, you know what, if you bet 2003 01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:52,680 Speaker 2: on your team to win, it's like, or what if 2004 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 2: you bet on a team that's not yours? It's like, 2005 01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:56,720 Speaker 2: as Doug Gottlieb said during the break, maybe some of 2006 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 2: you heard it, maybe some of you didn't. Everybody's got 2007 01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 2: friends around the league. Everybody's got teammates around the league. 2008 01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 2: So even if say, hypothetically, you know whoever, I'm just 2009 01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 2: trying to think here off top of my head. So 2010 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:14,280 Speaker 2: Quintes Cephis, right, So he played at Wisconsin, So he's 2011 01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,240 Speaker 2: got buddies that play for this team. And even if 2012 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,040 Speaker 2: he's betting a team that isn't his, he might have 2013 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:20,679 Speaker 2: talked to a buddy that says, oh, by the way, 2014 01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 2: you know, I play for the forty nine ers and 2015 01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:24,920 Speaker 2: Brock Perdy is not gonna be ready to go week. 2016 01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:29,200 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, there's no excuse. It's dumb, it's inexcusable. 2017 01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:33,240 Speaker 2: From the Jamison Williams perspective, I guess maybe there's a 2018 01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 2: scenario where you know you didn't know that you couldn't 2019 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 2: bet at the facility, But now everybody knows that one too, 2020 01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,080 Speaker 2: so there's no excuses really quickly, I do want to 2021 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 2: bring in Chris Purfett. He hosts the Pride of the 2022 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:47,040 Speaker 2: Lions podcast, which is prior to Detroit podcast, I apologize, 2023 01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:49,240 Speaker 2: one of the most popular Lions podcasts. Actually, I take 2024 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,280 Speaker 2: that back, the most popular Lions podcast out there. Nobody 2025 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,559 Speaker 2: better to have on for this exact story. I'm sure 2026 01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:55,360 Speaker 2: you covered it yesterday. 2027 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 4: Chris. 2028 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:56,080 Speaker 2: What do you got? 2029 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, I got woken up pretty early to get on 2030 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 10: this one. I get yes, I have a little more 2031 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 10: empathy towards Jamison Williams. I understand that there's probably a 2032 01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:08,559 Speaker 10: lot coming in and there is some blame to be 2033 01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:11,599 Speaker 10: had on the Detroit Lions, and not really not not 2034 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:14,719 Speaker 10: only four players who are caught who are basically gambling, 2035 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:19,560 Speaker 10: but also a team personnel that were dismissed over gambling 2036 01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 10: as well, which is still illegal in the by the 2037 01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 10: NFL's laws to be gambling if if you're working for 2038 01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 10: a team. But just on some background on this, like 2039 01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 10: it is legal to gamble on your phone in the 2040 01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,639 Speaker 10: state of Michigan. These came from the training facilities there 2041 01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:43,639 Speaker 10: Jamison Williams coming off in ACL. It's hard sometimes, I think, 2042 01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:46,240 Speaker 10: to blur the lines of when you're on and off 2043 01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:50,439 Speaker 10: the clock in the NFL, and with these gambling apps 2044 01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:54,519 Speaker 10: so easy to get to, so easy to just jump 2045 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,120 Speaker 10: on and just place a bet wherever you're at. I 2046 01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:59,360 Speaker 10: don't think they're the first, and I certainly don't think 2047 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:01,559 Speaker 10: they're the last. In that regard. For the guys who 2048 01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,720 Speaker 10: bet on NFL, I've got no excuse, excuse for you there. 2049 01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:11,840 Speaker 10: But when it's for on other other other sports, I like, 2050 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:15,560 Speaker 10: it's become very, very very casual, and it is completely 2051 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:16,839 Speaker 10: overwhelmed everything. 2052 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:17,519 Speaker 6: I know. 2053 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:19,200 Speaker 10: Someone will say, well, yeah, there's a lot of beer 2054 01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:22,439 Speaker 10: ads too, but you can't drink on the job. Sure, 2055 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:26,760 Speaker 10: but even but you can drink what NFL player does 2056 01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 10: drink off the clock. It's just a matter of when 2057 01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 10: on a team plane and on a team plane, and 2058 01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 10: the first thing Lions players see when the exit the 2059 01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 10: lockers at Ford Field is the luxury boxes which have 2060 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,320 Speaker 10: bet MGM on them. That's not excuse, that is not 2061 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:43,880 Speaker 10: absolving them of anything, and that's not to becry the 2062 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,280 Speaker 10: NFL and call them hypocrites for taking money. I understand 2063 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:49,599 Speaker 10: they want to take money from these but I think 2064 01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:52,080 Speaker 10: we have to understand that the amount that we have 2065 01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 10: suffused gambling overnight sports, gambling into our culture into an 2066 01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:01,200 Speaker 10: overt thing, this is going to will seem very appealing 2067 01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:04,160 Speaker 10: you for young men in this country, regardless of whether 2068 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,799 Speaker 10: playing for the NFL or not, And just it's something 2069 01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:08,960 Speaker 10: teams have to be aware of and really crack down 2070 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,840 Speaker 10: on and really up their messaging about because I don't 2071 01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,599 Speaker 10: think they're going to be the last we're gonna get 2072 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:15,160 Speaker 10: caught using these gambling apps. 2073 01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, last thing, I agree with that. Yeah, I was 2074 01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:19,360 Speaker 2: gonna say last thing, I want to get to the SEGRE. 2075 01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,720 Speaker 2: But like I do think a tiny bit of this 2076 01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,400 Speaker 2: is on the NFL from the Jamison Williams perspective, because 2077 01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:28,120 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear you can't bet on NFL games, 2078 01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:31,120 Speaker 2: but the whole you can bet on other sports, but 2079 01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 2: not in a facility, you know. And by the way, 2080 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 2: I was actually driving around when this story broke and 2081 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:39,360 Speaker 2: I heard Colin and Jason McIntyre talking about it yesterday. 2082 01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:41,559 Speaker 2: I thought Colin brought up a great point. Hey, maybe 2083 01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:45,000 Speaker 2: it just comes down to teams blocking the website when 2084 01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:47,600 Speaker 2: you're in the facility, right, they can block fill in 2085 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,760 Speaker 2: the blank website that's inappropriate. Maybe these you know, the 2086 01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:52,720 Speaker 2: apps and whatever are and the. 2087 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:54,920 Speaker 10: Books had to give these guys up to the NFL too, 2088 01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:57,639 Speaker 10: Like this was very easy for them to use the apps, 2089 01:42:57,640 --> 01:42:59,400 Speaker 10: so it's very easy to learn who they were too. 2090 01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:01,599 Speaker 10: So they have the books have some controls to know 2091 01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:04,160 Speaker 10: who they are too, to know their own customers. 2092 01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is an ongoing thing. And I think 2093 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,000 Speaker 2: the point that Chris just brought up, and I think 2094 01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,040 Speaker 2: the point that Jason brought up, I don't think this 2095 01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,120 Speaker 2: is gonna be the last deal. We learned a year 2096 01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:13,759 Speaker 2: ago with Calvin Rid that you can't bet on NFL 2097 01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:17,840 Speaker 2: games under any circumstances outside of the NFL, though that 2098 01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 2: rule is sort of vague, where you can bet on 2099 01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 2: other sports but not at a team sanctioned situation, so travel, facility, whatever.

So, first of all, 2164 01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,240 Speaker 2: I should mention, by the way, Jason, it was right 2165 01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:42,160 Speaker 2: around this time last year that you just ruthlessly made 2166 01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,000 Speaker 2: fun of me on these airwaves because I spent part 2167 01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,160 Speaker 2: of a Saturday tuning into a Texas A and M 2168 01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 2: Spring game correct to see what to see what that 2169 01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:52,960 Speaker 2: recruiting class was all about. As it turns out, not 2170 01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 2: very much because they went five and seven last year. 2171 01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:58,200 Speaker 2: But I did, I will readily admit I did. 2172 01:46:58,240 --> 01:46:58,639 Speaker 4: Readily. 2173 01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:02,920 Speaker 2: I did tune in for a little bit to the 2174 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:06,519 Speaker 2: Colorado Spring game today. And imagine, Jayson, let me just 2175 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:10,320 Speaker 2: say this. Imagine if last year Texas A and M 2176 01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,200 Speaker 2: Spring Game I was like, yeah, you know, that one 2177 01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:13,800 Speaker 2: really didn't do the trick for me. But wait till 2178 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,800 Speaker 2: next year when I'm watching the Colorado Spring game on ESPN, 2179 01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:20,680 Speaker 2: and so I bring it up because the segre just 2180 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,360 Speaker 2: told you it was in the snow. Forty five thousand 2181 01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:28,439 Speaker 2: people showed up, and let's not forget that. Earlier this week, 2182 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:30,519 Speaker 2: we found out that Colorado, for the first time in 2183 01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:35,160 Speaker 2: twenty seven years, has completely sold out of season tickets 2184 01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:38,160 Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty three season, first time since nineteen 2185 01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,880 Speaker 2: ninety six, twenty seven years. I'm here to tell you man. 2186 01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,280 Speaker 2: First of all, you know, team has a lot of 2187 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 2: work to do. But Dion Sanders, I'll say it, I 2188 01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 2: think he has already delivered on everything Colorado could have 2189 01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:57,240 Speaker 2: ever asked for. Now your two year, three, year four, 2190 01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:00,760 Speaker 2: you gotta win games that matter. But year one, the 2191 01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,559 Speaker 2: fact that on that four letter network that's our rival, 2192 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 2: they spent time on a Saturday in the spring at 2193 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,080 Speaker 2: the same time that Alabama was playing their spring game. 2194 01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:14,080 Speaker 2: By the way, Jason ESPN chose to be in Boulder, Colorado. 2195 01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,840 Speaker 2: It speaks to the impact that this guy has and 2196 01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:20,280 Speaker 2: the interest that he has created in that Colorado program. 2197 01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:25,559 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and that's why you hire him, because boy, it 2198 01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:30,040 Speaker 4: becomes very enticing for a young athlete to want that 2199 01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:33,479 Speaker 4: kind of exposure that comes with being part of that 2200 01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:36,280 Speaker 4: Dion Sanders show. Like, if you really look at it, 2201 01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:38,639 Speaker 4: I mean, does Dion have the track record that would 2202 01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:42,400 Speaker 4: put you on that spot over in Alabama. No, but 2203 01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:44,880 Speaker 4: he's Deon Sanders, so the track record as a coach. 2204 01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,439 Speaker 4: Even though he's been super successful in his first couple 2205 01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:51,800 Speaker 4: of years at Jackson State, it doesn't matter. Dion is 2206 01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:55,040 Speaker 4: the show. So when you got him at Colorado, a 2207 01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,960 Speaker 4: school that you know, there's been times when they've had, 2208 01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:01,840 Speaker 4: you know, good teams to great teams even and they've 2209 01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:05,800 Speaker 4: had some tradition, but it's been a long time since 2210 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:08,880 Speaker 4: they've been relevant. And so you do whatever you have 2211 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,960 Speaker 4: to do in that case. And you'll see this with 2212 01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:15,240 Speaker 4: some secondary schools that take a chance on, you know, 2213 01:49:15,360 --> 01:49:18,040 Speaker 4: guys with checkered pass and that's not the case with Dion. 2214 01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:21,679 Speaker 4: Dion's just a different animal altogether. And he comes in 2215 01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,960 Speaker 4: and he's gonna bring cameras, and he's gonna bring quotes, 2216 01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 4: and he's gonna bring that cockiness and that attitude that 2217 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,519 Speaker 4: made him such a superstar in the NFL. He's gonna 2218 01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,639 Speaker 4: bring that to the coaching ranks. He's gonna say stuff, 2219 01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:35,080 Speaker 4: he's gonna ruffle feathers. Some things he does you're not 2220 01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:37,960 Speaker 4: gonna like. Some things he does you're absolutely gonna love. 2221 01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:41,439 Speaker 4: But I think no matter what you're tuning in, he 2222 01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:43,800 Speaker 4: has a little bit of Howard Stern effect. Like if 2223 01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:47,320 Speaker 4: you go back to the movie Private Parts and Howard's book, 2224 01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:50,759 Speaker 4: it's always simple, like the reason why Howard Stern became 2225 01:49:50,840 --> 01:49:54,479 Speaker 4: so famous is because his biggest listeners were the ones 2226 01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:56,880 Speaker 4: that hated his guts even more than the ones that 2227 01:49:57,040 --> 01:50:00,960 Speaker 4: loved him, because they loved to hate him. They were 2228 01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,799 Speaker 4: so transfixed by what he was going to say next. 2229 01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,720 Speaker 4: It didn't matter if they liked him or not. They 2230 01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,880 Speaker 4: couldn't stand not to know what he was saying. Whether 2231 01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,799 Speaker 4: or not you believe you're a big time Deon Sanders 2232 01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:16,200 Speaker 4: fan or not, you can't tell me you're not fascinated 2233 01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:18,800 Speaker 4: to see how this goes. You're not fascinated to see 2234 01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:21,639 Speaker 4: if he can win in a big conference this fast, 2235 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,320 Speaker 4: if he could turn around a program that hasn't been 2236 01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,360 Speaker 4: good for a long time. All of these factors go 2237 01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:31,240 Speaker 4: into if you're Colorado, and we knew this when it happened, 2238 01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:32,719 Speaker 4: and we said it when it happened. 2239 01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:35,160 Speaker 2: This was eighteen Grand Slams in. 2240 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:37,759 Speaker 4: A row, if you're Colorado, Because it felt like Dion 2241 01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:41,040 Speaker 4: could have gone anywhere right like, there were a number 2242 01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:42,720 Speaker 4: of different places where it would have made sense for 2243 01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:45,400 Speaker 4: him to go, and his next step could have been 2244 01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:49,280 Speaker 4: a larger step, but no Colorado was able to land him. 2245 01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:51,840 Speaker 4: And good on them, and this is the first time 2246 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,759 Speaker 4: I've been able to say this, maybe ever, but certainly 2247 01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:58,080 Speaker 4: this century. Man, I can't wait for Week one of 2248 01:50:58,200 --> 01:50:59,719 Speaker 4: Colorado Buffalo's football. 2249 01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, Week one they play at TCU, 2250 01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:05,920 Speaker 2: the reigning national runner up. So I don't disagree. I 2251 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:09,600 Speaker 2: mean it was it was fun to watch, and I 2252 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,280 Speaker 2: think what you just said is one thousand percent correct. Like, 2253 01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:14,400 Speaker 2: you know, I tweeted something out this morning about how 2254 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna be watching and you know, right away it 2255 01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:20,960 Speaker 2: like defaults to, oh he's overrated, Oh he's not gonna win, 2256 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:25,360 Speaker 2: and it's like, okay, cool. But have you ever cared 2257 01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,360 Speaker 2: enough about a Colorado football coach to tweet about him 2258 01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:31,040 Speaker 2: unless you're a Colorado fan in the last twenty years 2259 01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:34,880 Speaker 2: since Twitter became literally a thing fifteen years ago, whatever 2260 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:37,800 Speaker 2: it was, Cause I if I ever tweeted I'm watching 2261 01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:40,840 Speaker 2: Colorado football, there's nobody sitting there saying Carl Durell, that 2262 01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,040 Speaker 2: guy's never gonna make it, or you know, whoever was 2263 01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:44,880 Speaker 2: the guy before him, I forget. I don't even remember 2264 01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:47,000 Speaker 2: who was coaching there, Oh, Mel Tucker, I guess in theory. 2265 01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,400 Speaker 2: But the point is is that he has created so 2266 01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:53,960 Speaker 2: much interest. It is so great and I just you know, 2267 01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:56,320 Speaker 2: and we've heard a lot of people say this in 2268 01:51:56,439 --> 01:52:00,320 Speaker 2: our our our space, but you know, we don't really 2269 01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,920 Speaker 2: root for teams. We root for stories. And I think 2270 01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,000 Speaker 2: the one thing that college football does maybe better than 2271 01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:08,639 Speaker 2: anything else is creates stories. And there's always good ones. 2272 01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 2: But I'll tell you, man, we're gonna be on you know, 2273 01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:14,840 Speaker 2: every Saturday night here from you know, starting in the fall. 2274 01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:19,559 Speaker 2: And I'll say this, you know, if Colorado's playing during 2275 01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,720 Speaker 2: the day, that's gonna be you gotta find it on 2276 01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 2: the TV. And then of course if they're on at night, 2277 01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:26,600 Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna have it on here in the 2278 01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:30,120 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio studios because they they are going to 2279 01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:33,040 Speaker 2: be must watch TV, at least for the first couple 2280 01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:35,680 Speaker 2: of weeks. They open with TCU then nebraskat home, so 2281 01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,720 Speaker 2: obviously it's probably gonna be as tough start. Realistically, they 2282 01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,200 Speaker 2: also play by the way USC and at Oregon very 2283 01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:44,280 Speaker 2: early in the season, so it's not gonna be necessarily pretty. 2284 01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:46,800 Speaker 2: Nobody's saying that he's gonna win thirteen games his first 2285 01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,000 Speaker 2: year and go to the playoff, but it is going 2286 01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,240 Speaker 2: to be mussy TV.

John 2305 01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:49,320 Speaker 7: Morant returned tonight after missing the previous game with a 2306 01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,400 Speaker 7: bruised hand. At one point in the fourth quarter, he 2307 01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:57,040 Speaker 7: scored twenty two straight Memphis points. He finished with forty 2308 01:53:57,040 --> 01:54:01,519 Speaker 7: five points and nine rebounds and third ten assists. Dylan 2309 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,920 Speaker 7: Brooks was kicked out early second half. He was three 2310 01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:07,559 Speaker 7: of thirteen shooting. So the Lakers win in a couple nights. 2311 01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:10,639 Speaker 7: They'll be hosting game four this first round series. Anthony 2312 01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:15,000 Speaker 7: Davis thirty one points, seventeen rebounds. Lebron James had twenty 2313 01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:19,200 Speaker 7: five points. Notable that this game was we thought over 2314 01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:22,240 Speaker 7: after the first quarter, eventually a ten point win, but 2315 01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:25,559 Speaker 7: after six minutes it was eighteen to two Lakers. One 2316 01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:28,280 Speaker 7: of eleven shooting for the Grizzlies. Early at the end 2317 01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:31,800 Speaker 7: of the first quarter, LA thirty five to nine in 2318 01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:36,960 Speaker 7: the lead. Thirty five nine represents tying the biggest point 2319 01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,680 Speaker 7: deferential through first quarter of any playoff game the last 2320 01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,960 Speaker 7: seventy seasons. Apparently a couple of years ago, there was 2321 01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:46,960 Speaker 7: a Bucks twenty six point lead against Miami May of 2322 01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:50,480 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one, and still it's true that only four 2323 01:54:50,480 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 7: teams have come back to win a playoff game after 2324 01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:55,800 Speaker 7: being down twenty or more after that first quarter. So 2325 01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:59,040 Speaker 7: a ten point Laker win. They'll be hosting Monday in 2326 01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:02,720 Speaker 7: an arena former Staple Center downtown LA that has hosted 2327 01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:06,800 Speaker 7: three postseason games in the last twenty four hours. It's 2328 01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,720 Speaker 7: gonna be by Mike count six playoff games in a 2329 01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:13,200 Speaker 7: five day stretch because we have the Clippers have had 2330 01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:16,200 Speaker 7: two home games there, the Lakers tonight and then what 2331 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,520 Speaker 7: Monday and the LA Kings with a couple of home 2332 01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:23,640 Speaker 7: on ice, and the way they redo the facility on 2333 01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,120 Speaker 7: the floor. Of course, keep in mind you might think 2334 01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:29,480 Speaker 7: it's really easy to go from this afternoon's Clipper home 2335 01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:33,000 Speaker 7: basketball game to tonight's Laker home basketball but the seating 2336 01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:36,240 Speaker 7: configuration on the floor around the court is not the same. 2337 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:38,480 Speaker 7: That has to be changed as well. And of course 2338 01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:41,800 Speaker 7: when there's hockey, they have to put up glass around 2339 01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:43,960 Speaker 7: the ice. The ice is under the floor. For those 2340 01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:48,040 Speaker 7: who haven't seen the changeover, it's like putting together a 2341 01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:52,480 Speaker 7: really large wooden puzzle on the floor to create the court. 2342 01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:56,040 Speaker 7: They took the Clippers court off after they lost to 2343 01:55:56,040 --> 01:56:00,600 Speaker 7: Phoenix this afternoon. Piece by piece they are large rectangular pieces, 2344 01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:04,520 Speaker 7: usually three to four guys carrying them, and then fit 2345 01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:07,080 Speaker 7: together the Lakers court and what do you know, there's 2346 01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,880 Speaker 7: the baseline their center court. Everything fits together, and we 2347 01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:13,280 Speaker 7: had a game tonight but they've done this two three 2348 01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:16,120 Speaker 7: hundred times in the life of the building. To go 2349 01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:20,120 Speaker 7: from a changeover with two events separate franchises in one day, 2350 01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:21,600 Speaker 7: but it is amazing to see. 2351 01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:22,600 Speaker 6: Amazing. 2352 01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:25,440 Speaker 7: On Thursday night were the NBA ratings for the Golden 2353 01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:29,200 Speaker 7: State win over Sacramento. It was the highest rated TV 2354 01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:33,680 Speaker 7: show and it started at ten PM Eastern Time. Golden 2355 01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:36,360 Speaker 7: State winning getting on the board in that first round 2356 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,600 Speaker 7: series drew four point one million viewers, which was even 2357 01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:42,920 Speaker 7: larger than Young Sheldon, which usually wins every Thursday night. 2358 01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:44,480 Speaker 6: In the ratings, it was a repeat. 2359 01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,560 Speaker 7: Just for the record, Every NHL playoff game that night 2360 01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:50,160 Speaker 7: was under one million viewers, and in fact, the first 2361 01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:53,120 Speaker 7: four nights of the Stanley Cup playoffs on ESPN and 2362 01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:57,680 Speaker 7: ESPN two have averaged under seven hundred thousand viewers. To 2363 01:56:57,800 --> 01:57:01,720 Speaker 7: Major League Baseball, Tampa Bay has been incredible so far. 2364 01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:04,320 Speaker 7: Eighteen and three record for the Rays a ten inning 2365 01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:07,120 Speaker 7: win over the White Sox today four to three.

Jason Martin has cursed the Atlanta Braves. 2444 02:01:10,240 --> 02:01:12,560 Speaker 2: They've lost three straight since he put their schedule on 2445 02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:16,080 Speaker 2: his refrigerators.

I thought that might have been 2451 02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:35,000 Speaker 2: Rob Schneider for a second. What was that? That Wasn't that, 2452 02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:39,800 Speaker 2: I don't think But no, okay, don't know what that is. 2453 02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:42,160 Speaker 10: It's from It's from something I like to watch. I 2454 02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:43,600 Speaker 10: don't think most people will get it though. 2455 02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:47,240 Speaker 2: So it's from Jojo Patricia. 2456 02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:49,480 Speaker 4: It's from Patricia Adventure. 2457 02:01:49,600 --> 02:01:51,160 Speaker 10: It's from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. 2458 02:01:52,040 --> 02:01:54,880 Speaker 2: All right, Chris Preffet's a Bizarre. 2459 02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:57,000 Speaker 4: Adventure, Jaln's Bizarre Adventure. 2460 02:01:57,120 --> 02:01:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's I'll tell you what. There's nothing bizarre 2461 02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:01,440 Speaker 2: for Jail and Jalen Hurts. Maybe a little bit of 2462 02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:04,160 Speaker 2: a bizarre adventure for Lamar Jackson. We'll get to that momentarily. 2463 02:02:04,240 --> 02:02:10,200 Speaker 2: But welcome to the newest member of the Rich Quarterback Club, 2464 02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:13,040 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. So again, we've talked about pretty much everything NBA. 2465 02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:14,720 Speaker 2: If you missed any of it, go back and check 2466 02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:18,720 Speaker 2: it out. But Jalen Hurts, you know, listen, we you know, 2467 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:22,280 Speaker 2: all these guys are up for contracts, and when Mahomes 2468 02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:24,200 Speaker 2: got paid, we talked about it, and when Josh Allen 2469 02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:26,000 Speaker 2: got paid, we talked about it. And when Kyler Murray 2470 02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,600 Speaker 2: got paid. We talked about it, and again the latest 2471 02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:33,400 Speaker 2: to get that big contract is Jalen Hurts earlier this week. 2472 02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:36,960 Speaker 2: Everybody's probably seen the story by now, five years, two 2473 02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,560 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five million dollar contract extension for Jalen 2474 02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:44,400 Speaker 2: Hurts one hundred and seventy nine million guaranteed. I believe 2475 02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:47,680 Speaker 2: that's slightly below Kyler Murray for third all time in 2476 02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:51,120 Speaker 2: total guaranteed money to Shaun Watson, Kyler Murray and Jalen 2477 02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:54,880 Speaker 2: Hurts one hundred and ten fully guaranteed. I take that back, 2478 02:02:54,880 --> 02:02:57,120 Speaker 2: So one hundred and seventy nine in total guarantees, one 2479 02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:01,480 Speaker 2: hundred and ten fully guaranteed. It's signing one to It's confusing. 2480 02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:03,840 Speaker 2: The point is it's a lot of guaranteed money and 2481 02:03:03,880 --> 02:03:07,520 Speaker 2: he will become the highest paid player in terms of 2482 02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:10,640 Speaker 2: annual salary when the contract kicks in, assuming of course, 2483 02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:12,960 Speaker 2: that nobody signs a bigger contract. So, Jason, I want 2484 02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,480 Speaker 2: to get to the Lamar Jackson angle of this first. 2485 02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:18,920 Speaker 2: But what was your first reaction from the Jalen Hurts 2486 02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:23,200 Speaker 2: perspective when you saw this? You know, listen, I'll I'll 2487 02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:25,800 Speaker 2: say really quick, because I think we're so focused on that. 2488 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:29,840 Speaker 2: You know, twenty twenty draft class of Joe Burrow and 2489 02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:32,160 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, who we both know are about to We 2490 02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:36,560 Speaker 2: know both are about to get significant, significant pay increases 2491 02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:39,440 Speaker 2: here soon. I'll be honest, you know, from the Jalen 2492 02:03:39,480 --> 02:03:41,520 Speaker 2: Hurts perspective, it kind of slipped under my radar that 2493 02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:43,280 Speaker 2: he could be up for a contract extension. But he 2494 02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,200 Speaker 2: is making a lot of money. My opinion, I'm sure 2495 02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:48,520 Speaker 2: is the same as yours, very much deserved for the 2496 02:03:48,560 --> 02:03:49,960 Speaker 2: quarterback of the Philadelphia Egas. 2497 02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:53,879 Speaker 4: There's nobody that is easier to root for in professional 2498 02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:56,680 Speaker 4: sports right now than Jayalen Hurts. And the reason why 2499 02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:59,000 Speaker 4: I actually think. You know, we were doing the JoJo's 2500 02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:02,080 Speaker 4: Bizarre Adventure, and I say Jalen's bizarre adventure has been bizarre, right. 2501 02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,600 Speaker 4: I mean got benched, he lost his starting gig, had 2502 02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:08,040 Speaker 4: to change up after only losing two games at Alabama, 2503 02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:10,440 Speaker 4: he ends up having to go to Oklahoma where then 2504 02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:13,080 Speaker 4: he has a nearly Heisman caliber season and makes it 2505 02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:16,200 Speaker 4: to the College Football Playoff himself the year Borrow and 2506 02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:19,680 Speaker 4: that crew won it. Then he isn't a first round 2507 02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:22,840 Speaker 4: draft pick. He's in Philadelphia. People aren't sure what to 2508 02:04:22,880 --> 02:04:25,400 Speaker 4: make of him and the guy that replaced him in 2509 02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:28,160 Speaker 4: the National Title Game against Georgia in his first ever 2510 02:04:28,200 --> 02:04:32,320 Speaker 4: start to Watankavai Looa, We're still wondering what his future is. Meanwhile, 2511 02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:34,839 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts just got two hundred and fifty million dollars. 2512 02:04:35,520 --> 02:04:40,440 Speaker 4: That is quite a story and your comment is exactly right, 2513 02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,720 Speaker 4: well deserved, and it was only going to get more 2514 02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:46,160 Speaker 4: expensive for the Eagles. They don't do it now because, 2515 02:04:46,200 --> 02:04:49,560 Speaker 4: as we all know, as the salary cap continues to expand, 2516 02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:51,520 Speaker 4: some of these deals that have been made over the 2517 02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:53,960 Speaker 4: last few years are going to seem smarter and smarter 2518 02:04:54,760 --> 02:04:57,160 Speaker 4: because these price tags are going to go up and 2519 02:04:57,280 --> 02:05:01,080 Speaker 4: up and up. And Jalen Hurts earned every penny. He 2520 02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:05,080 Speaker 4: was exquisitely good outside of one he lost the football 2521 02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:06,920 Speaker 4: one time in the Super Bowl. But outside of that, 2522 02:05:07,080 --> 02:05:10,520 Speaker 4: man he played an excellent football game. He was great 2523 02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:14,160 Speaker 4: all year long for a team that was just totally 2524 02:05:14,160 --> 02:05:17,040 Speaker 4: different when he was on the field. Just a leader, 2525 02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:21,680 Speaker 4: every intangible that you could possibly want, super routable, a 2526 02:05:21,720 --> 02:05:23,680 Speaker 4: guy who bet on himself, a guy if you read 2527 02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:25,520 Speaker 4: his players to be an article, it's still the best 2528 02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:27,240 Speaker 4: thing I ever have read. There and there have been 2529 02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:29,400 Speaker 4: a lot of wonderful things written there that I could 2530 02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,320 Speaker 4: tell you to go read. But Jalen Hurt's talking about 2531 02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:37,839 Speaker 4: thanking Alabama and thanking Oklahoma and everything else. The story's 2532 02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:43,200 Speaker 4: absolutely incredible, and I my reaction to it was just hell, yes, 2533 02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:46,640 Speaker 4: like just so easy to sit there and be like, 2534 02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,600 Speaker 4: now there is somebody I have no problem with them 2535 02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:52,080 Speaker 4: backing up the Brinks truck to pay because he's a 2536 02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:52,920 Speaker 4: wonderful person. 2537 02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:53,440 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2538 02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:56,080 Speaker 2: One last little, you know, addition to that too is 2539 02:05:56,120 --> 02:05:58,360 Speaker 2: I think you know, in this transfer portal world that 2540 02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,280 Speaker 2: we live in, you know, stuck around, competed for the job, 2541 02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:04,320 Speaker 2: lost the job. And I don't know if you mentioned 2542 02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:07,920 Speaker 2: this part, but like they don't win the SEC the 2543 02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:10,040 Speaker 2: following year if Jalen Hurts doesn't come off the bench 2544 02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:13,560 Speaker 2: and help them win that that game when Tua got hurt, 2545 02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:16,160 Speaker 2: and you know, that was about as close as I've 2546 02:06:16,160 --> 02:06:18,480 Speaker 2: ever seen Nick Saban and getting emotional on the sidelines 2547 02:06:18,600 --> 02:06:20,440 Speaker 2: is talking about the impact that Jalen Hurts had on 2548 02:06:20,480 --> 02:06:24,080 Speaker 2: that program, even in the year that he was not 2549 02:06:24,200 --> 02:06:27,800 Speaker 2: the starter. So there's that aspect of it. But I'll 2550 02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,120 Speaker 2: be honest as happy as I am for Jalen Hurts. 2551 02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:34,120 Speaker 2: It's not as though I'm unhappy for Lamar Jackson, but 2552 02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:38,960 Speaker 2: that was actually my default first thought was, Wow, Jalen 2553 02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 2: Hurts just got one hundred and seventy nine million guaranteed, 2554 02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:47,320 Speaker 2: highest paid per annual salary guy in the NFL. I 2555 02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:49,200 Speaker 2: hate to say it because it feels like I'm beating 2556 02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:50,600 Speaker 2: a dead horse and it feels like I'm picking on 2557 02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:53,800 Speaker 2: the guy. It's just proof, like, Lamar, what. 2558 02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:54,520 Speaker 4: Are you doing? 2559 02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:54,760 Speaker 3: Man? 2560 02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:57,000 Speaker 2: Like you know, And by the way, this was another 2561 02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:59,920 Speaker 2: cool aspect of the Jalen Hurts story, right we celebrate 2562 02:07:00,600 --> 02:07:05,040 Speaker 2: a young female African American woman who represents him. You know, 2563 02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:09,360 Speaker 2: largest contract obviously ever negotiated by a woman, this Nicole Lynn, 2564 02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:12,760 Speaker 2: who is a rising star in the agent business. I 2565 02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:16,120 Speaker 2: hate to say it, but this shows why you have 2566 02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:19,720 Speaker 2: an agent and it's three to five to ten. Who 2567 02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:24,680 Speaker 2: cares what it is. Jalen Hurts just locked up generational 2568 02:07:24,720 --> 02:07:28,640 Speaker 2: wealth so his kids and his grandkids are set for 2569 02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:32,160 Speaker 2: the rest of their lives. And you know, I sit 2570 02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:35,960 Speaker 2: there and every single week that this Lamar Jackson thing 2571 02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:39,880 Speaker 2: goes on, it just looks worse and worse because you know, 2572 02:07:39,880 --> 02:07:42,720 Speaker 2: there's just been so much mixed messaging about you know one, 2573 02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:44,600 Speaker 2: was he healthy enough to play? Was he not healthy 2574 02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:46,760 Speaker 2: enough to play? He says he wasn't whatever. But then 2575 02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:48,960 Speaker 2: you know, what does he want? Does he want to 2576 02:07:48,960 --> 02:07:50,640 Speaker 2: be the highest paid? Does he want this much guaranteed? 2577 02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:53,400 Speaker 2: Does he want that much guaranteed? I know we've said 2578 02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:58,560 Speaker 2: it many times, Jason. I understand his frustration that Deshaun Watson, 2579 02:07:58,560 --> 02:08:02,760 Speaker 2: who is not as accomplished of a quarterback, got this ridiculous, 2580 02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,080 Speaker 2: fully guaranteed contract of upwards of close to two hundred 2581 02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:10,000 Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars. It sucks. I get it. I 2582 02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:12,880 Speaker 2: get that you think that you're a better quarterback than 2583 02:08:12,960 --> 02:08:17,040 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson. But Jalen Hurts just proved that you can 2584 02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:22,240 Speaker 2: set up your family for generations to come without making 2585 02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:24,720 Speaker 2: the money that Deshaun Watson made and you are not. 2586 02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:28,760 Speaker 2: By the way, remember he is now on the non 2587 02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:32,520 Speaker 2: exclusive franchise tag. He demanded a trade. He can go 2588 02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:36,600 Speaker 2: find a suitor. No one is giving him that Deshaun 2589 02:08:36,680 --> 02:08:40,840 Speaker 2: Watson money. So whether it is through hiring a real agent, 2590 02:08:40,880 --> 02:08:44,200 Speaker 2: whether it is with his mom helping him, I don't 2591 02:08:44,240 --> 02:08:47,280 Speaker 2: really care. But the more you sit out and the 2592 02:08:47,320 --> 02:08:50,800 Speaker 2: more that all of these guys make generational money, get 2593 02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,600 Speaker 2: set up with the organization they want to be in. Again, 2594 02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:55,920 Speaker 2: this was Jalen Hurts this week, and a couple months, 2595 02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:57,840 Speaker 2: it'll be Joe Burrow. At some point it's going to 2596 02:08:57,880 --> 02:09:01,360 Speaker 2: be Justin Herbert. And you're sitting on the sidelines pretending 2597 02:09:01,400 --> 02:09:05,000 Speaker 2: like you're some sort of victim. Dude, I don't feel bad. 2598 02:09:05,280 --> 02:09:08,040 Speaker 2: This is why you need an agent. Jalen Hurts just 2599 02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:10,680 Speaker 2: set up his family for the next one hundred years, 2600 02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:12,960 Speaker 2: while Lamar Jackson is still trying to make us feel 2601 02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:13,560 Speaker 2: sorry for him. 2602 02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:16,160 Speaker 4: By the way, not only did he set up his 2603 02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:19,400 Speaker 4: family for the next one hundred years, and that's probably 2604 02:09:19,440 --> 02:09:24,560 Speaker 4: an understatement, he did so without any harm, any ding 2605 02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:26,320 Speaker 4: whatsoever to his reputation. 2606 02:09:26,440 --> 02:09:26,880 Speaker 2: Great call. 2607 02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:32,480 Speaker 4: He got a crap ton of money, folks. Two hundred 2608 02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,560 Speaker 4: and fifty million dollars and one hundred and seventy nine 2609 02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:38,160 Speaker 4: mil guaranteed and everything else. That's an insane amount of money. 2610 02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:41,600 Speaker 4: We can't even begin to fathom it. And so many 2611 02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:43,840 Speaker 4: fans and look, I think we've all been guilty of 2612 02:09:43,880 --> 02:09:47,000 Speaker 4: this at different times. We're resentful of it to some degree. 2613 02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:51,600 Speaker 4: And so anytime you get an opportunity to knock somebody 2614 02:09:51,640 --> 02:09:54,760 Speaker 4: that's making that kind of money, It often becomes your 2615 02:09:54,800 --> 02:10:01,520 Speaker 4: default response. This guy cashed in, and we're sitting here 2616 02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:04,920 Speaker 4: celebrating it, and we're sitting here talking about how awesome 2617 02:10:04,960 --> 02:10:08,120 Speaker 4: it is and how he earned it. We'd be seeing 2618 02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:12,880 Speaker 4: the exact same thing about Lamar Jackson. But because you 2619 02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:16,200 Speaker 4: don't get an agent to handle everything so that you 2620 02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:19,520 Speaker 4: can just sign it when it gets to you, all 2621 02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:22,800 Speaker 4: we hear about is the mistakes that you've made, how 2622 02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:26,400 Speaker 4: badly you've played this, how sour things have gotten between 2623 02:10:26,440 --> 02:10:29,680 Speaker 4: you and the organization. Lamar Jackson, I think, had a 2624 02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:32,160 Speaker 4: really great reputation coming out of Louisville and for his 2625 02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:35,040 Speaker 4: first few years in the NFL, and this last like 2626 02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:40,680 Speaker 4: six months or so has damaged that reputation. And he's 2627 02:10:40,720 --> 02:10:44,400 Speaker 4: a guy that this could have just been simplified. He 2628 02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:49,880 Speaker 4: made this needlessly complicated by taking an unnecessary step, And 2629 02:10:49,960 --> 02:10:53,520 Speaker 4: as such, I look at him differently today than I 2630 02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:57,000 Speaker 4: did six months ago. And it has nothing to do 2631 02:10:57,560 --> 02:10:59,760 Speaker 4: with what he's doing on the football field. And that's 2632 02:10:59,800 --> 02:11:03,520 Speaker 4: a shame. And it's self inflicted by Lamar Jackson, one. 2633 02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:06,960 Speaker 2: Hundred percent self inflicted. And that's exactly right, is you know, 2634 02:11:07,040 --> 02:11:09,800 Speaker 2: he was another one that was super easy to root for. 2635 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:12,440 Speaker 2: He wins a Heisman Trophy, falls in the draft. Now, 2636 02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:14,800 Speaker 2: part of why fell the draft nobody wants to talk 2637 02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:17,120 Speaker 2: about because he didn't have an agent and nobody could 2638 02:11:17,120 --> 02:11:19,280 Speaker 2: get a hold of him. But he falls in the draft. 2639 02:11:19,640 --> 02:11:21,720 Speaker 2: Nobody believes in him. At least that's the narrative that 2640 02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:25,080 Speaker 2: we're told. Wins the MVP, then he's got the whole 2641 02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:27,360 Speaker 2: dumb narrative. And it was a dumb narrative. Oh, he 2642 02:11:27,400 --> 02:11:29,480 Speaker 2: can't win in the playoffs because he lost one playoff 2643 02:11:29,520 --> 02:11:31,880 Speaker 2: game as a number one seed. Then he has success 2644 02:11:31,920 --> 02:11:34,480 Speaker 2: against you know, your Tennessee Titans. Sorry, sorry about that, Jason, 2645 02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:36,880 Speaker 2: but you know he Oh okay, I thought you were 2646 02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:37,320 Speaker 2: Titans fan. 2647 02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:42,800 Speaker 4: I forgot my f You could apologize for that because 2648 02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:44,200 Speaker 4: I had to watch that last year. 2649 02:11:44,640 --> 02:11:47,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the point is is like this guy had 2650 02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:50,400 Speaker 2: everything going for him, and and and I'll say this too, 2651 02:11:50,520 --> 02:11:52,800 Speaker 2: is like, you know, maybe I'm totally wrong on this. 2652 02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:56,080 Speaker 2: At some point he's probably gonna re sign with Baltimore. 2653 02:11:56,080 --> 02:11:58,080 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of money. I think there's 2654 02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:00,800 Speaker 2: at least a small percentage of that fan base that 2655 02:12:00,840 --> 02:12:04,080 Speaker 2: will never forgive him for what he's done. And maybe 2656 02:12:04,080 --> 02:12:06,920 Speaker 2: it's five percent, maybe it's ten percent, But I don't 2657 02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:08,640 Speaker 2: know if you're ever getting those people back. Now, they'll 2658 02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:10,880 Speaker 2: still cheer for you when you score a touchdown, but 2659 02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:13,720 Speaker 2: the way they feel about you, the emotion that you elicit. 2660 02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:16,040 Speaker 2: You know, it was one hundred percent approval rating a 2661 02:12:16,120 --> 02:12:19,880 Speaker 2: year ago, nine months ago, start of the season, and 2662 02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:22,200 Speaker 2: now I think you've burned a lot of bridges in 2663 02:12:22,240 --> 02:12:27,440 Speaker 2: that city. And again it's over something that, like I 2664 02:12:27,440 --> 02:12:29,400 Speaker 2: don't even know, I don't even know how to describe it. 2665 02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:31,840 Speaker 2: You're not getting the Deshaun Watson money. I get it. 2666 02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:35,120 Speaker 2: You think you're a better quarterback than him. That's fine, 2667 02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:40,280 Speaker 2: But so is Josh Allen, so is Patrick Mahomes. You know, 2668 02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:42,680 Speaker 2: maybe at this point in his career, Jalen Hurts is 2669 02:12:42,720 --> 02:12:46,520 Speaker 2: maybe whatever. Maybe at this point the point is, nobody's 2670 02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:49,000 Speaker 2: getting that money and you have to get over it. 2671 02:12:49,040 --> 02:12:50,080 Speaker 2: And by the way, if you don't want to get 2672 02:12:50,080 --> 02:12:52,320 Speaker 2: over it, that's fine. But I'm done feeling sorry for 2673 02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:55,600 Speaker 2: this guy. Because Jalen Hurts proved, get an agent, give 2674 02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:58,040 Speaker 2: him your three percent. You're gonna be set for the 2675 02:12:58,080 --> 02:13:00,880 Speaker 2: rest of your life.

Bernie Fratto of the Bernie 2695 02:14:16,920 --> 02:14:19,600 Speaker 2: Fratto Show. You can hear him at the top of 2696 02:14:19,720 --> 02:14:25,080 Speaker 2: the hour, Bernie, I'll say this man, Vegas once again 2697 02:14:25,200 --> 02:14:27,800 Speaker 2: the center of the sports world. Tell us how this 2698 02:14:27,960 --> 02:14:31,040 Speaker 2: A's deal went down over not just the last couple 2699 02:14:31,080 --> 02:14:32,720 Speaker 2: of days, but the last couple months. 2700 02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:37,120 Speaker 11: Well, first of all, we have to pump the brakes 2701 02:14:37,240 --> 02:14:39,000 Speaker 11: just a little bit here. The only thing that has 2702 02:14:39,120 --> 02:14:42,760 Speaker 11: happened is that the A's have entered into a binding 2703 02:14:42,800 --> 02:14:45,800 Speaker 11: agreement to buy forty nine acres on the corner of 2704 02:14:45,880 --> 02:14:49,240 Speaker 11: Dean Martin a Tropicana, which is literally two blocks away 2705 02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:53,440 Speaker 11: from T Mobile and three blocks away from a legiant stadium. 2706 02:14:53,920 --> 02:14:56,400 Speaker 11: But is My good friend Alan Snell of the Las 2707 02:14:56,480 --> 02:14:59,360 Speaker 11: Vegas Business Journal reminds me the A's may have a 2708 02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:01,880 Speaker 11: game plan to summit a move request to Major League 2709 02:15:01,880 --> 02:15:04,600 Speaker 11: Baseball owners in the fall. But if you're telling me 2710 02:15:04,640 --> 02:15:07,160 Speaker 11: they can have a stadium funding plan and a public 2711 02:15:07,800 --> 02:15:10,800 Speaker 11: private agreement in place by then, when you don't even 2712 02:15:10,840 --> 02:15:13,600 Speaker 11: have a stadium rendering the name of a stadium architect 2713 02:15:13,600 --> 02:15:16,240 Speaker 11: a design team, this is a long ways from being 2714 02:15:16,240 --> 02:15:18,760 Speaker 11: a done deal. So I think The only thing to 2715 02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:21,320 Speaker 11: report right now is that there's a binding agreement to 2716 02:15:21,360 --> 02:15:24,880 Speaker 11: buy land. After that, the legislation hasn't checked in. The 2717 02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:27,600 Speaker 11: raiders haven't checked in, the casino owners haven't checked in. 2718 02:15:28,240 --> 02:15:30,240 Speaker 11: We've got a long ways to go, and I'm gonna 2719 02:15:30,240 --> 02:15:31,600 Speaker 11: cover it every week. 2720 02:15:31,960 --> 02:15:34,040 Speaker 4: Bert, and you have covered it for a long time. 2721 02:15:34,960 --> 02:15:37,240 Speaker 4: You say you're driving home after the show for a 2722 02:15:37,280 --> 02:15:40,800 Speaker 4: long time talking about Oakland and Vegas. Do you think 2723 02:15:40,840 --> 02:15:45,040 Speaker 4: the Las Vegas can sustain baseball's home schedule? Like, I 2724 02:15:45,120 --> 02:15:47,560 Speaker 4: understand how Vegas has done in terms of the Golden 2725 02:15:47,640 --> 02:15:50,320 Speaker 4: Knights and how they've handled certain tournaments and things like that, 2726 02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:53,360 Speaker 4: but baseball is a different animal because of the sheer 2727 02:15:53,680 --> 02:15:57,960 Speaker 4: amount of games and Vegas being known for it. Like, 2728 02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:00,360 Speaker 4: if you're coming to Vegas, is your and I heard 2729 02:16:00,400 --> 02:16:02,520 Speaker 4: this argument earlier this week, if you're coming to Vegas, 2730 02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:05,320 Speaker 4: is your first stop gonna be a Vegas Baseball game? 2731 02:16:06,400 --> 02:16:10,080 Speaker 11: Those are really excellent points. This is not comparable to 2732 02:16:10,160 --> 02:16:14,360 Speaker 11: the NFL, which is eight glorious Sundays, And then of 2733 02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:17,080 Speaker 11: course hockey, which was a brand new deal because it 2734 02:16:17,160 --> 02:16:18,000 Speaker 11: was born here. 2735 02:16:17,880 --> 02:16:20,160 Speaker 5: In Vegas and Bill fully paid for the stadium. 2736 02:16:20,840 --> 02:16:25,200 Speaker 11: The short answer is probably yes, people are asking the 2737 02:16:25,280 --> 02:16:27,560 Speaker 11: wrong question. They're saying, well, they support the A's. The 2738 02:16:27,640 --> 02:16:29,680 Speaker 11: real question is will they come to the stadium if 2739 02:16:29,680 --> 02:16:31,680 Speaker 11: you build it, will they come? Eighty one home dates 2740 02:16:31,680 --> 02:16:34,280 Speaker 11: a year where you got ninety straight days of north 2741 02:16:34,280 --> 02:16:36,040 Speaker 11: of one hundred degrees, you're gonna have fifteen to twenty 2742 02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:37,960 Speaker 11: days north of one hundred and ten. So it'll be 2743 02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:41,920 Speaker 11: a dome stadium or retractable roof. We believe it will. 2744 02:16:41,959 --> 02:16:44,880 Speaker 11: They're only talking about a thirty thirty five thousands heat stadium, 2745 02:16:44,879 --> 02:16:46,160 Speaker 11: and it's gonna be right in the middle of a 2746 02:16:46,160 --> 02:16:49,320 Speaker 11: major district if if all this happens, and right in 2747 02:16:49,320 --> 02:16:50,360 Speaker 11: the middle of the strip where. 2748 02:16:50,200 --> 02:16:50,879 Speaker 5: All the action is. 2749 02:16:50,920 --> 02:16:53,480 Speaker 11: So like most things, I think you'll see folks come 2750 02:16:53,520 --> 02:16:54,880 Speaker 11: and make a junket out of all of it. 2751 02:16:54,920 --> 02:16:57,520 Speaker 5: But you bring up an excellent point, Jason. 2752 02:16:57,560 --> 02:17:00,000 Speaker 11: You don't know what you don't know, and I think 2753 02:17:00,080 --> 02:17:04,400 Speaker 11: to automatically assume they'll have the success like the Raiders 2754 02:17:04,440 --> 02:17:06,640 Speaker 11: have and like the Golden Knights have, We're a long 2755 02:17:06,680 --> 02:17:07,280 Speaker 11: way from that. 2756 02:17:07,840 --> 02:17:09,760 Speaker 2: So Burne, I don't want to make this whole segment 2757 02:17:09,800 --> 02:17:12,680 Speaker 2: about the A's, but it sounds like you're not sold 2758 02:17:12,680 --> 02:17:15,240 Speaker 2: that just because some land has been sold that that 2759 02:17:15,320 --> 02:17:17,120 Speaker 2: means that a team is going there. So what are 2760 02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:19,440 Speaker 2: the next things that people need to look out for 2761 02:17:19,560 --> 02:17:22,560 Speaker 2: in terms of this is a potential permanent thing where 2762 02:17:22,560 --> 02:17:23,879 Speaker 2: the A's do end up in Vegas. 2763 02:17:24,160 --> 02:17:26,879 Speaker 11: The key thing to look out for is can the 2764 02:17:27,040 --> 02:17:31,000 Speaker 11: factions come together? Can all parties come together so that 2765 02:17:31,040 --> 02:17:36,680 Speaker 11: they can construct a public private financing, you know, pool 2766 02:17:37,320 --> 02:17:39,560 Speaker 11: that the people can live with? And how much will 2767 02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:43,000 Speaker 11: that involve taxpayers? And I heard one plan floated having 2768 02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:45,800 Speaker 11: to do with when the stadium's built, there'll be taxes 2769 02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:49,000 Speaker 11: related to revenues generated by the stadium and the resultant 2770 02:17:49,080 --> 02:17:52,760 Speaker 11: businesses in the area. But who fronts the initial billion five? 2771 02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:54,760 Speaker 11: We don't know that. That's the thing to watch out for. 2772 02:17:55,440 --> 02:17:57,920 Speaker 4: Bernie, I know you we can well, you know what, 2773 02:17:57,959 --> 02:17:59,720 Speaker 4: we won't switch gear, so we can stay with MLB 2774 02:17:59,800 --> 02:18:03,600 Speaker 4: for bit. Because I've loved baseball so far this season. 2775 02:18:03,600 --> 02:18:07,280 Speaker 4: I've watched a ton of it. I've greatly enjoyed the 2776 02:18:07,320 --> 02:18:10,120 Speaker 4: products so far this year. A lot of the rule 2777 02:18:10,200 --> 02:18:13,320 Speaker 4: changes have worked like gangbusters. It feels like to just 2778 02:18:13,400 --> 02:18:16,080 Speaker 4: make the game feel a little bit crisper in the 2779 02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:19,360 Speaker 4: ways that maybe it needed to for a younger audience. 2780 02:18:19,400 --> 02:18:22,520 Speaker 4: But they're not done, are they. There are some other 2781 02:18:22,680 --> 02:18:25,840 Speaker 4: things that are being tested out in terms of rule changes. 2782 02:18:26,080 --> 02:18:28,640 Speaker 11: They're testing three things in the Atlantic League right now, 2783 02:18:28,680 --> 02:18:32,880 Speaker 11: which was the proving ground before. They want to create 2784 02:18:32,920 --> 02:18:35,240 Speaker 11: this thing called the double hook designated hitter, which is 2785 02:18:35,280 --> 02:18:39,120 Speaker 11: too complicated to explain. We don't think that'll pass. The 2786 02:18:39,240 --> 02:18:43,280 Speaker 11: universal designated pinch runner, however, we think will pass, where 2787 02:18:43,320 --> 02:18:46,240 Speaker 11: you can have a wildcat, you know, pinch runner, come 2788 02:18:46,280 --> 02:18:49,119 Speaker 11: off the bench and pinch run for anybody and then 2789 02:18:49,160 --> 02:18:51,200 Speaker 11: go back on the bench and come back off the bench, 2790 02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:52,960 Speaker 11: and you know, as many times as you want. 2791 02:18:53,200 --> 02:18:54,320 Speaker 5: And then the third thing you're. 2792 02:18:54,200 --> 02:18:56,760 Speaker 11: Talking about is reducing the amount of pickoff moves from 2793 02:18:56,760 --> 02:18:59,000 Speaker 11: two down to one. We don't think that'll pass, but 2794 02:18:59,040 --> 02:19:03,039 Speaker 11: baseball continues to tinker and they're experimenting in the Atlantic League. 2795 02:19:03,520 --> 02:19:06,160 Speaker 2: Burn you know, a little bit off topic, but Jason 2796 02:19:06,160 --> 02:19:08,879 Speaker 2: and I were just talking about not just Jalen Hurts's 2797 02:19:08,920 --> 02:19:12,080 Speaker 2: extension this week, but also you know what it means 2798 02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:14,360 Speaker 2: for Lamar Jackson, and you know, this is kind of 2799 02:19:14,400 --> 02:19:18,640 Speaker 2: just another you know, probably reminder that like, hey, there's 2800 02:19:18,680 --> 02:19:20,160 Speaker 2: a lot of money here on the table that you're 2801 02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:22,560 Speaker 2: passing up for some you know pot at the end 2802 02:19:22,560 --> 02:19:24,760 Speaker 2: of the rainbow that doesn't exist. I'm sure you talked 2803 02:19:24,800 --> 02:19:26,360 Speaker 2: about it last night on your show. I'm sure you're 2804 02:19:26,360 --> 02:19:28,879 Speaker 2: going to talk about it tonight. But what do you 2805 02:19:28,959 --> 02:19:32,640 Speaker 2: make of Jalen Hurts? But then also relative to Lamar Jackson, 2806 02:19:32,640 --> 02:19:34,360 Speaker 2: because I know you've had some good insight on his 2807 02:19:34,440 --> 02:19:36,000 Speaker 2: negotiations and things of that nature. 2808 02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:40,199 Speaker 11: Well, I've said all along, I believe Lamar Jackson's fight 2809 02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:44,240 Speaker 11: has been misguided. He's gone after the guaranteed money. And 2810 02:19:44,280 --> 02:19:47,160 Speaker 11: when you signed between twenty five and twenty seven and 2811 02:19:47,240 --> 02:19:50,039 Speaker 11: top tier deal and you're an elite quarterback, you're gonna 2812 02:19:50,040 --> 02:19:52,000 Speaker 11: collect ninety percent of that money ninety percent of the 2813 02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:52,680 Speaker 11: time anyway. 2814 02:19:52,800 --> 02:19:54,440 Speaker 5: So I think he made a mistake. 2815 02:19:54,480 --> 02:19:58,080 Speaker 11: I think the Jalen Hurts deal was very smart by 2816 02:19:58,080 --> 02:20:00,840 Speaker 11: the Eagles, very smart by Jalen Hurts. Take a page 2817 02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:03,560 Speaker 11: out of the Patrick Mahomes playbook. Hey, let's get a 2818 02:20:03,600 --> 02:20:05,720 Speaker 11: guy paid, let's lock him up. We're all set, and 2819 02:20:05,800 --> 02:20:08,000 Speaker 11: let's put ourselves in a position where we still have 2820 02:20:08,120 --> 02:20:09,039 Speaker 11: enough in the kiddy to win. 2821 02:20:09,200 --> 02:20:10,760 Speaker 5: So win, win all the way around. 2822 02:20:10,800 --> 02:20:14,920 Speaker 4: Couldn't have to do a better guy, Bernie, how big 2823 02:20:14,959 --> 02:20:19,480 Speaker 4: of a problem is this S two result for CJ. 2824 02:20:19,640 --> 02:20:22,359 Speaker 2: Stroud going into the NFL Draft. 2825 02:20:24,200 --> 02:20:27,920 Speaker 11: It's a little you know, Jason, this is a very long, 2826 02:20:28,000 --> 02:20:31,280 Speaker 11: complicated subject matter because if you've seen the kid on film, 2827 02:20:31,320 --> 02:20:33,400 Speaker 11: you know he can play. But I'm gonna go deep 2828 02:20:33,440 --> 02:20:35,560 Speaker 11: into the S two thing tonight like I did last night. 2829 02:20:35,959 --> 02:20:39,080 Speaker 11: Someone's gonna draft him. We think it's gonna be Indianapolis 2830 02:20:39,080 --> 02:20:41,720 Speaker 11: four overall. That's what we think right now. That's our 2831 02:20:41,760 --> 02:20:44,400 Speaker 11: best guess, and so I wish I had. I just 2832 02:20:44,400 --> 02:20:46,120 Speaker 11: don't have the time to go into it. It's a 2833 02:20:46,160 --> 02:20:49,240 Speaker 11: problem for some people and not so much for others. 2834 02:20:49,240 --> 02:20:52,680 Speaker 11: It depends who you talk to. But guys, literally fourteen 2835 02:20:52,720 --> 02:20:55,520 Speaker 11: minutes ago, I got a bombshell text from a mole 2836 02:20:55,560 --> 02:20:58,800 Speaker 11: I trust quite a bit. It turns out the Houston Texans, 2837 02:20:59,040 --> 02:21:01,960 Speaker 11: who draft number two overall, they are gonna draft will 2838 02:21:02,640 --> 02:21:04,400 Speaker 11: will Anderson out of Alabama. 2839 02:21:04,840 --> 02:21:05,880 Speaker 2: That's what I got to tease. 2840 02:21:06,600 --> 02:21:08,000 Speaker 5: Now, why are they doing that? 2841 02:21:08,280 --> 02:21:11,320 Speaker 11: Because originally they wanted Bryce Young, but now that they 2842 02:21:11,360 --> 02:21:14,240 Speaker 11: are not gonna be able to get Bryce Young for 2843 02:21:14,280 --> 02:21:18,080 Speaker 11: the obvious reasons of the Carolina trade, they believe it's 2844 02:21:18,760 --> 02:21:20,600 Speaker 11: this is why I love about Tamiko Ryants do you 2845 02:21:20,680 --> 02:21:23,760 Speaker 11: draft a project or you draft an impact defensive player. 2846 02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:25,879 Speaker 11: They can step on the field and help you day one. 2847 02:21:26,240 --> 02:21:29,760 Speaker 5: You do the latter. And by the way, Houston behind. 2848 02:21:29,480 --> 02:21:32,160 Speaker 11: Closed doors, my wall told me they've been wanting to 2849 02:21:32,200 --> 02:21:35,560 Speaker 11: replace JJ Watt and Jadavian Clombe for years. So it's 2850 02:21:35,560 --> 02:21:37,920 Speaker 11: either gonna be Will Anderson with a Wincoln or out 2851 02:21:37,959 --> 02:21:41,080 Speaker 11: to possibly Tyree Wilson, both their elite pass rushers. 2852 02:21:41,560 --> 02:21:44,280 Speaker 2: Burn Speaking of which, obviously the NFL Draft, and you 2853 02:21:44,320 --> 02:21:46,279 Speaker 2: and I have talked about this for years, it feels 2854 02:21:46,360 --> 02:21:51,520 Speaker 2: like has become an increasingly more bet event. What are 2855 02:21:51,560 --> 02:21:54,600 Speaker 2: the hot props going into Thursday night? 2856 02:21:54,959 --> 02:21:57,120 Speaker 11: The hottest prop that looks like a know brander to 2857 02:21:57,160 --> 02:21:59,280 Speaker 11: me is the under four and a half quarterbacks in 2858 02:21:59,320 --> 02:22:01,600 Speaker 11: the first round, which was minus one point fifteen up 2859 02:22:01,680 --> 02:22:04,200 Speaker 11: until yesterday. But fast and I are going to talk 2860 02:22:04,200 --> 02:22:07,840 Speaker 11: about that. Eleven fifteen props are hot or popular as always, 2861 02:22:08,240 --> 02:22:10,400 Speaker 11: keep this in mind, though the books have gotten smart. 2862 02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:12,840 Speaker 11: They've reduced the amount of props they allow you to bet, 2863 02:22:12,920 --> 02:22:14,120 Speaker 11: and they've reduced the limits. 2864 02:22:14,160 --> 02:22:16,120 Speaker 5: So it's all based on information. 2865 02:22:16,280 --> 02:22:18,560 Speaker 11: Information is king when it comes to these things, and 2866 02:22:18,600 --> 02:22:20,720 Speaker 11: so even though it'll be popular and heavily bet the 2867 02:22:20,720 --> 02:22:21,920 Speaker 11: books have put a governor on. 2868 02:22:21,920 --> 02:22:26,000 Speaker 4: It real quickly. You know, Aaron's got the Bucks winning 2869 02:22:26,040 --> 02:22:27,760 Speaker 4: at all. I've got the Celtics winning at all. I 2870 02:22:27,760 --> 02:22:29,840 Speaker 4: feel like the East is a three team race most 2871 02:22:29,840 --> 02:22:33,800 Speaker 4: people do. West feels a lot more wide open. Who 2872 02:22:33,800 --> 02:22:36,160 Speaker 4: do you have right now as the favorite in the 2873 02:22:36,160 --> 02:22:38,160 Speaker 4: West to make it to the NBA Finals. 2874 02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:40,879 Speaker 11: I gotta be honest, guys, I think it's Denver. They 2875 02:22:40,879 --> 02:22:42,360 Speaker 11: have the best player in the West in. 2876 02:22:44,440 --> 02:22:44,840 Speaker 5: Yokike. 2877 02:22:44,920 --> 02:22:46,400 Speaker 11: I mean, when you got a guy six eleven to 2878 02:22:46,560 --> 02:22:48,080 Speaker 11: eighty four and he can run the office like a 2879 02:22:48,080 --> 02:22:51,320 Speaker 11: point guard. He can shoot like a prototypical guard. He 2880 02:22:51,320 --> 02:22:53,959 Speaker 11: can kill the defenses, he can defend. One of the 2881 02:22:54,000 --> 02:22:56,680 Speaker 11: things Denver's done great this year is develop players and 2882 02:22:56,680 --> 02:22:59,400 Speaker 11: turn them into real stars. I think Jamal Murray and 2883 02:22:59,440 --> 02:23:02,160 Speaker 11: Michael Poor to the league's better players. They're not even 2884 02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:05,039 Speaker 11: in their prime yet and they're already key contributors. Aaron 2885 02:23:05,080 --> 02:23:08,440 Speaker 11: Gordon comes over from Orlando. He's shooting fifty four percent 2886 02:23:08,480 --> 02:23:11,480 Speaker 11: from the field. They've developed him into a much better player. 2887 02:23:11,640 --> 02:23:13,880 Speaker 11: This is a team that is the most complete team 2888 02:23:13,920 --> 02:23:17,240 Speaker 11: and consistent team in the West. At Christian Braun, at 2889 02:23:17,280 --> 02:23:22,360 Speaker 11: Bruce Brown, be nice facus speak English. Bruce Brown, Kntavious 2890 02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:24,240 Speaker 11: call up Pope. So they got plenty of guys that 2891 02:23:24,320 --> 02:23:27,000 Speaker 11: can defend, plenty of guys who can score, They're healthy, 2892 02:23:27,040 --> 02:23:28,360 Speaker 11: and oh, by the way, they have the best player 2893 02:23:28,400 --> 02:23:28,680 Speaker 11: in the West. 2894 02:23:28,720 --> 02:23:29,920 Speaker 5: I think it's Denver Bart. 2895 02:23:29,959 --> 02:23:32,480 Speaker 2: We got about a minute left and we actually got 2896 02:23:32,480 --> 02:23:37,279 Speaker 2: a tweet in request for you, So sports Q asks 2897 02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:40,240 Speaker 2: what you make of those? Mark Davis comments, it doesn't 2898 02:23:40,240 --> 02:23:42,640 Speaker 2: seem like he's happy with the A's potential move to 2899 02:23:42,879 --> 02:23:44,400 Speaker 2: Las Vegas. 2900 02:23:44,520 --> 02:23:47,680 Speaker 11: This gentleman is spot on. It's like an open secret. 2901 02:23:47,800 --> 02:23:50,080 Speaker 11: I was debating do I talk about this on the air. 2902 02:23:50,480 --> 02:23:54,199 Speaker 11: Mark Davis has been wanting to my best understanding allegedly, Okay, 2903 02:23:54,280 --> 02:23:56,720 Speaker 11: let's like get to look.

Overall, Lakers were up thirty 2935 02:25:17,520 --> 02:25:21,080 Speaker 7: five to nine after the first quarter.

Be listening to you tomorrow with 2980 02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:48,600 Speaker 2: Arnie Spanner and Chris Plank, among others. This is Fox 2981 02:27:48,640 --> 02:27:51,880 Speaker 2: Sports Radio Aeron Torris Jason Martin broadcasting live from the 2982 02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:55,160 Speaker 2: Tireck dot Com studio. So, Jason, you know, I did 2983 02:27:55,200 --> 02:27:56,840 Speaker 2: want to react to a little bit of what Bernie 2984 02:27:56,840 --> 02:28:00,720 Speaker 2: Fratto said. It sounds like a lot of us kind 2985 02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:04,520 Speaker 2: of misinterpreted what happened this week in Las Vegas. It's, 2986 02:28:04,560 --> 02:28:06,680 Speaker 2: you know, the A's have bought land, but it doesn't 2987 02:28:06,680 --> 02:28:09,120 Speaker 2: guarantee that the team will be there. But I think 2988 02:28:09,160 --> 02:28:11,840 Speaker 2: the question that everybody has from that point forward is 2989 02:28:11,920 --> 02:28:14,640 Speaker 2: assuming that they do get there. It's exactly what you 2990 02:28:14,720 --> 02:28:17,400 Speaker 2: just said, which is, you know, is this going to 2991 02:28:17,480 --> 02:28:21,720 Speaker 2: be a destination thing and a success the way that 2992 02:28:22,480 --> 02:28:26,920 Speaker 2: you know, hockey and football has been. And it's interesting, 2993 02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:29,320 Speaker 2: you know, me living in Los Angeles. I go to 2994 02:28:29,400 --> 02:28:32,040 Speaker 2: Vegas pretty regularly. I'm actually going out this week to 2995 02:28:32,040 --> 02:28:34,680 Speaker 2: see my mom for a night. But I bring it 2996 02:28:34,760 --> 02:28:37,680 Speaker 2: up because I'll be honest. I think the question you 2997 02:28:37,720 --> 02:28:40,480 Speaker 2: ask is a very interesting one because for people who 2998 02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:44,039 Speaker 2: don't really know the sports scene out there, the Golden 2999 02:28:44,080 --> 02:28:47,879 Speaker 2: Knights were first by a mile, and you know, to 3000 02:28:47,920 --> 02:28:50,560 Speaker 2: get a team, there was a waiting list and the 3001 02:28:50,560 --> 02:28:53,680 Speaker 2: city really rallied behind that team because it was the 3002 02:28:53,720 --> 02:28:56,400 Speaker 2: first thing that they could call their own. It didn't 3003 02:28:56,440 --> 02:28:58,120 Speaker 2: hurt that in their second year they made the Stanley 3004 02:28:58,120 --> 02:29:03,560 Speaker 2: Cup Finals and then the right and it's the NFL 3005 02:29:04,200 --> 02:29:06,840 Speaker 2: and the Raiders, by the way, have a huge West 3006 02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:09,280 Speaker 2: Coast following in Los Angeles and Oakland, so all their 3007 02:29:09,320 --> 02:29:11,520 Speaker 2: fans that aren't in Vegas are flying out. Plus you 3008 02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:13,680 Speaker 2: got fans that want to come out for a single 3009 02:29:13,720 --> 02:29:17,720 Speaker 2: game experience Vegas. I think it's gonna be much more 3010 02:29:17,760 --> 02:29:21,080 Speaker 2: interesting to see what kind of crowds you would consistently 3011 02:29:21,200 --> 02:29:24,280 Speaker 2: draw for eighty two home games a year. I get 3012 02:29:24,280 --> 02:29:27,000 Speaker 2: the idea that if your team goes, you know, if 3013 02:29:27,040 --> 02:29:29,400 Speaker 2: you're a again maybe a Braves fan, do you fly 3014 02:29:29,480 --> 02:29:31,959 Speaker 2: out for a weekend and check out two or three 3015 02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:35,039 Speaker 2: games over the course of a three day stretch. I 3016 02:29:35,040 --> 02:29:37,720 Speaker 2: don't think it's as much of a slam dunk, certainly 3017 02:29:37,760 --> 02:29:40,280 Speaker 2: as the Raiders, certainly as the Golden Knights. I think 3018 02:29:40,280 --> 02:29:41,959 Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see how it would all play 3019 02:29:41,959 --> 02:29:44,560 Speaker 2: out if, in fact, They's do eventually make it out 3020 02:29:44,600 --> 02:29:45,119 Speaker 2: to Vegas. 3021 02:29:45,240 --> 02:29:48,480 Speaker 4: And the other thing is, as you just heard de 3022 02:29:48,600 --> 02:29:51,840 Speaker 4: Segur in his update, the A's are terrible right now. 3023 02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:54,960 Speaker 4: You they're four and seventeen. That's the one thing you 3024 02:29:55,040 --> 02:29:58,840 Speaker 4: can't do, Like, you can't show up in your first 3025 02:29:58,879 --> 02:30:02,760 Speaker 4: season and have been that bad that recently. Like I'm 3026 02:30:02,800 --> 02:30:05,200 Speaker 4: not saying they would be there next year anyway, but 3027 02:30:05,280 --> 02:30:08,400 Speaker 4: they can't afford that. Like the Raiders came in, they 3028 02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:10,880 Speaker 4: had a little bit behind them, like a little bit 3029 02:30:10,879 --> 02:30:12,760 Speaker 4: of a reason to pay attention to them. Plus they're 3030 02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:15,400 Speaker 4: the Raiders brand, which is a you know, a brand 3031 02:30:15,400 --> 02:30:19,160 Speaker 4: that extended long pass just that area. Raiders and some 3032 02:30:19,240 --> 02:30:21,680 Speaker 4: of those teams like the Lakers. There's a lot of 3033 02:30:21,760 --> 02:30:24,520 Speaker 4: Lakers fans where I live. I live in Tennessee. But 3034 02:30:24,680 --> 02:30:27,920 Speaker 4: the same argument's been here right here in Nashville, because 3035 02:30:28,000 --> 02:30:30,040 Speaker 4: Nashville is always seemingly on a short list for an 3036 02:30:30,120 --> 02:30:33,160 Speaker 4: MLB team, and famously you got justin Timberlake and all 3037 02:30:33,160 --> 02:30:35,240 Speaker 4: these people was part of a consortium to try and 3038 02:30:35,320 --> 02:30:39,760 Speaker 4: bring MLB here. And I have always said, I don't know, guys, 3039 02:30:40,280 --> 02:30:42,600 Speaker 4: this is a party city. I don't know that it's 3040 02:30:42,600 --> 02:30:45,320 Speaker 4: a sports city. The reason the Predators worked is because 3041 02:30:45,320 --> 02:30:48,440 Speaker 4: it became the greatest party in sports. And you know, 3042 02:30:48,480 --> 02:30:51,320 Speaker 4: the NFL Draft and all of those kinds of things. 3043 02:30:51,360 --> 02:30:54,160 Speaker 4: But baseball is eighty one days and it's or eighty 3044 02:30:54,200 --> 02:30:57,360 Speaker 4: one dates, and they're playing every day, and you have 3045 02:30:57,440 --> 02:30:59,880 Speaker 4: these long home stands, and you have weird times of 3046 02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:02,800 Speaker 4: when things are being played and all. There's just a 3047 02:31:02,840 --> 02:31:06,680 Speaker 4: lot more that factors in Vegas. When you go to Vegas, 3048 02:31:06,680 --> 02:31:09,119 Speaker 4: you have a lot of things probably that you are 3049 02:31:09,160 --> 02:31:12,440 Speaker 4: trying to accomplish. Most of the people that actually live 3050 02:31:12,480 --> 02:31:14,680 Speaker 4: in Vegas don't partake in a lot of the things 3051 02:31:14,680 --> 02:31:17,240 Speaker 4: that you know the tourists are gonna come and do. 3052 02:31:17,800 --> 02:31:21,800 Speaker 4: I think it would do fine. Sometimes I would just 3053 02:31:21,920 --> 02:31:24,480 Speaker 4: be very curious to see if a middle of the 3054 02:31:24,600 --> 02:31:30,640 Speaker 4: road too bad franchise is already established, if they struggled, 3055 02:31:30,920 --> 02:31:33,119 Speaker 4: what would the attendants look like. And the other thing, 3056 02:31:33,640 --> 02:31:37,000 Speaker 4: real quickly is the A's have been known for one 3057 02:31:37,080 --> 02:31:39,920 Speaker 4: thing recently, and recently I'm talking like the last fifteen 3058 02:31:39,920 --> 02:31:42,000 Speaker 4: to twenty years, and that's penny pinching. I mean, there 3059 02:31:42,040 --> 02:31:44,160 Speaker 4: was a movie about it, there was a book about 3060 02:31:44,160 --> 02:31:48,039 Speaker 4: it called Moneyball. That ain't gonna play in sen City. 3061 02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:51,640 Speaker 4: That's not gonna play where the money flows through the 3062 02:31:51,680 --> 02:31:55,119 Speaker 4: fountains of the Bellagio and everything else. Like if they 3063 02:31:55,200 --> 02:31:59,760 Speaker 4: go to Vegas, they're gonna have to start spending actual money. 3064 02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:02,560 Speaker 4: Like the whole franchise is gonna have to change. So 3065 02:32:02,600 --> 02:32:05,640 Speaker 4: there's I don't feel like this is the easiest maneuver 3066 02:32:05,920 --> 02:32:09,240 Speaker 4: to make. Even though Vegas has embraced a lot of 3067 02:32:09,280 --> 02:32:12,200 Speaker 4: what's come there, I think this would be by far 3068 02:32:12,360 --> 02:32:14,240 Speaker 4: the biggest challenge that they faced. 3069 02:32:14,440 --> 02:32:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll just say so, I think I agree 3070 02:32:16,680 --> 02:32:20,080 Speaker 2: with everything you said. And you know, again, the night's work. 3071 02:32:20,240 --> 02:32:23,360 Speaker 2: It's it's one to two nights a week, and like 3072 02:32:23,760 --> 02:32:27,360 Speaker 2: and and I think the city has really embraced the Knights, 3073 02:32:27,400 --> 02:32:29,440 Speaker 2: and I think it's more of a city team than 3074 02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:31,840 Speaker 2: it is. You go visit when your team is in town. 3075 02:32:31,879 --> 02:32:34,840 Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, every time there's a you know, 3076 02:32:34,920 --> 02:32:37,520 Speaker 2: a team from on the road, you know you're gonna 3077 02:32:37,560 --> 02:32:39,879 Speaker 2: you know, listen, if you live in Edmonton, it's a 3078 02:32:39,920 --> 02:32:42,440 Speaker 2: great reason to get out of town for a few weeks, 3079 02:32:42,560 --> 02:32:45,280 Speaker 2: a few days, No disrespect to the fine folks in Edmonton, 3080 02:32:45,600 --> 02:32:49,080 Speaker 2: great excuse to get out of town. I think with baseball, 3081 02:32:50,080 --> 02:32:52,720 Speaker 2: even if you have visiting fans are going to have 3082 02:32:52,800 --> 02:32:56,600 Speaker 2: to rely on a strong home base. And whether it 3083 02:32:56,680 --> 02:32:59,240 Speaker 2: is people that you know, three nights, you know, five 3084 02:32:59,320 --> 02:33:01,320 Speaker 2: nights a week, straight nights, so they want to go 3085 02:33:01,360 --> 02:33:03,760 Speaker 2: to the strip to like, it's just a hassle to 3086 02:33:03,760 --> 02:33:05,480 Speaker 2: get to the strip if you live there. So that's one. 3087 02:33:05,920 --> 02:33:06,120 Speaker 4: Two. 3088 02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:08,240 Speaker 2: When you're visiting, I can tell you, man, like you 3089 02:33:08,320 --> 02:33:11,199 Speaker 2: lose track of time, like and especially during the summer, 3090 02:33:11,320 --> 02:33:14,760 Speaker 2: you're at the pool, the music's playing, you know, the 3091 02:33:14,800 --> 02:33:18,720 Speaker 2: sun's out. You feel good, like as somebody who's I'm 3092 02:33:18,720 --> 02:33:20,640 Speaker 2: gonna be there two or three times this summer. Probably 3093 02:33:20,680 --> 02:33:23,320 Speaker 2: at some point, like when you ever fought at the pool, 3094 02:33:23,480 --> 02:33:25,640 Speaker 2: you don't want to, you know, wrap things up at 3095 02:33:25,640 --> 02:33:29,039 Speaker 2: four thirty because it's a six thirty first pitch. So again, 3096 02:33:30,040 --> 02:33:31,800 Speaker 2: it sounds like, according to Bernie, there's a lot of 3097 02:33:31,800 --> 02:33:34,760 Speaker 2: steps that have to be made. And if that's the case, 3098 02:33:34,800 --> 02:33:37,680 Speaker 2: so be it. But I'm with you. One, you better 3099 02:33:37,720 --> 02:33:39,560 Speaker 2: put a winner on the field because that town ain't 3100 02:33:39,560 --> 02:33:42,240 Speaker 2: shown up to watch a loser. But then two, I 3101 02:33:42,280 --> 02:33:44,840 Speaker 2: think it's a little bit more complicated than just the 3102 02:33:44,959 --> 02:33:48,520 Speaker 2: nights have worked. The Raiders have worked. It's a guarantee 3103 02:33:49,080 --> 02:33:51,160 Speaker 2: that the baseball team work. I would add, by the way, 3104 02:33:51,160 --> 02:33:52,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna have an NBA team eventually. It's a little 3105 02:33:52,959 --> 02:33:55,320 Speaker 2: bit different in the winter because of the weather, a 3106 02:33:55,360 --> 02:33:58,680 Speaker 2: little bit less to do on a January and February 3107 02:33:58,720 --> 02:34:01,200 Speaker 2: night as opposed to a July or August night. Fox 3108 02:34:01,200 --> 02:34:04,800 Speaker 2: Sports Radio ertors Jason Martin coming up. We wrapped the show. 3109 02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:08,520 Speaker 2: We'll look ahead to the NBA slate tomorrow, a couple 3110 02:34:08,560 --> 02:34:13,920 Speaker 2: of big games. We'll discuss that next Fox Sports thirty. 3111 02:34:15,600 --> 02:34:18,039 Speaker 11: People have joined us Slow where the second happen, taking 3112 02:34:18,040 --> 02:34:19,920 Speaker 11: away the defense, offense three. 3113 02:34:19,680 --> 02:34:20,480 Speaker 4: On one. 3114 02:34:23,280 --> 02:34:26,600 Speaker 10: Show up to a little bit of lebroad That's what 3115 02:34:26,760 --> 02:34:29,520 Speaker 10: got him rolling into first quarter the defense. 3116 02:34:29,600 --> 02:34:30,520 Speaker 5: They turned them over. 3117 02:34:31,800 --> 02:34:35,320 Speaker 2: That call courtesy of ESPN as the Lakers take care 3118 02:34:35,360 --> 02:34:37,080 Speaker 2: of the Memphis Grizzlies to go up two to one 3119 02:34:37,080 --> 02:34:40,280 Speaker 2: in that series.

Jason martin Ertor is broadcasting live from the 3125 02:34:56,360 --> 02:34:59,800 Speaker 2: Tyreck dot Com studios. One last note, by the way, Jason, 3126 02:34:59,840 --> 02:35:03,200 Speaker 2: I during the break, we're just talking about the idea 3127 02:35:03,320 --> 02:35:06,200 Speaker 2: of the a's in Vegas. Like Chris brought up a 3128 02:35:06,240 --> 02:35:09,680 Speaker 2: point that probably we should have brought up, Like, oh, 3129 02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:12,480 Speaker 2: on top of all of the other reasons that we said, 3130 02:35:13,360 --> 02:35:16,119 Speaker 2: there's also like a million freaking shows in Vegas every 3131 02:35:16,160 --> 02:35:18,440 Speaker 2: single night. And it's like even if you, you know, 3132 02:35:18,520 --> 02:35:20,080 Speaker 2: even if you're a Mets fan and you want to 3133 02:35:20,080 --> 02:35:22,440 Speaker 2: come out for the weekend to see your team, like 3134 02:35:22,480 --> 02:35:23,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, Like if I go to Vegas, I 3135 02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:25,920 Speaker 2: don't know that I want to spend three straight nights 3136 02:35:25,959 --> 02:35:26,600 Speaker 2: at the ballpark. 3137 02:35:26,879 --> 02:35:29,600 Speaker 4: That's my point. That was my point about Nashville, because 3138 02:35:29,840 --> 02:35:32,560 Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about the ultimate party city, it's Vegas. 3139 02:35:33,240 --> 02:35:36,800 Speaker 4: Nashville's a party city and there's musicians, there's shows at 3140 02:35:36,920 --> 02:35:41,720 Speaker 4: eight different venues every single night. There's everything under the sun, here, 3141 02:35:42,120 --> 02:35:45,119 Speaker 4: including there's minor league baseball at least right now. Then 3142 02:35:45,160 --> 02:35:47,840 Speaker 4: you have multiple sporting things, and you have all sorts 3143 02:35:47,879 --> 02:35:52,160 Speaker 4: of things that you can go and do, and baseball 3144 02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:54,680 Speaker 4: then has to compete in the same way that it 3145 02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:57,640 Speaker 4: has to compete against everything else that's on your television 3146 02:35:57,680 --> 02:36:01,280 Speaker 4: to stream to make you watch it. There's so many 3147 02:36:01,320 --> 02:36:04,640 Speaker 4: different things competing for your attention and you can only 3148 02:36:04,680 --> 02:36:07,240 Speaker 4: do one of them because time works in a certain 3149 02:36:07,280 --> 02:36:09,520 Speaker 4: type of way, which means you can't be in multiple 3150 02:36:09,560 --> 02:36:12,200 Speaker 4: places at once. So when you go to a party 3151 02:36:12,240 --> 02:36:15,480 Speaker 4: city where there's so many different places that you could 3152 02:36:15,560 --> 02:36:18,800 Speaker 4: be and so many different things, you're making an itinerary. 3153 02:36:19,320 --> 02:36:21,560 Speaker 4: Maybe you make it to one game in Vegas. But 3154 02:36:21,640 --> 02:36:25,279 Speaker 4: if you don't, and it's your favorite team, you probably 3155 02:36:25,360 --> 02:36:28,240 Speaker 4: can see them another time. And that becomes the thing 3156 02:36:28,280 --> 02:36:30,160 Speaker 4: that gets knocked off the list. Because I'm gonna go 3157 02:36:30,200 --> 02:36:32,680 Speaker 4: see the Braves in Atlanta. I don't necessarily have to 3158 02:36:32,680 --> 02:36:35,800 Speaker 4: see the Braves while I'm out in Vegas. If I'm 3159 02:36:35,800 --> 02:36:38,199 Speaker 4: in Vegas, I don't think I'm going there for baseball. 3160 02:36:38,280 --> 02:36:41,440 Speaker 4: Baseball can be an extra if it works, but I 3161 02:36:41,600 --> 02:36:44,240 Speaker 4: just that's the problem for me. The other thing is 3162 02:36:44,800 --> 02:36:49,040 Speaker 4: also similar, to Nashville is it's a transplant city. Most 3163 02:36:49,080 --> 02:36:51,120 Speaker 4: of the people in Vegas have come from somewhere else. 3164 02:36:51,160 --> 02:36:52,760 Speaker 4: And I don't just mean the tourists. I mean the 3165 02:36:52,800 --> 02:36:55,360 Speaker 4: people that have moved there for various reasons and all this. 3166 02:36:55,720 --> 02:36:59,520 Speaker 4: You know what happens with transplants. They bring their fandom 3167 02:36:59,560 --> 02:37:01,800 Speaker 4: with them. Oh yeah, I live in Nashville. I'm not 3168 02:37:01,800 --> 02:37:04,520 Speaker 4: a Nashville native. I'm a deimver Broncos fan, an Atlanta 3169 02:37:04,560 --> 02:37:07,640 Speaker 4: Braves fan, and Win asked if Nashville got a baseball team, 3170 02:37:07,640 --> 02:37:10,880 Speaker 4: would I all of a sudden become a Nashville MLB fan. 3171 02:37:10,920 --> 02:37:13,400 Speaker 4: The answer is no. Maybe I would cheer for them 3172 02:37:13,600 --> 02:37:16,720 Speaker 4: when Atlanta wasn't involved, or certainly would root for them 3173 02:37:16,760 --> 02:37:19,000 Speaker 4: to do pretty well or whatever like that. And let's 3174 02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:21,480 Speaker 4: say we're in the National League. But I'm a Braves fan. 3175 02:37:21,840 --> 02:37:23,840 Speaker 4: There's a ton of Braves fans that are already here. 3176 02:37:24,240 --> 02:37:27,160 Speaker 4: People that live in Vegas that are baseball fans probably 3177 02:37:27,240 --> 02:37:31,119 Speaker 4: have long standing fandoms with other teams that they wouldn't 3178 02:37:31,160 --> 02:37:34,880 Speaker 4: just automatically drop because Vegas got a baseball team. So 3179 02:37:34,920 --> 02:37:36,000 Speaker 4: I wanted to point that out too. 3180 02:37:36,200 --> 02:37:38,920 Speaker 2: No, and there's no one that understands that better than 3181 02:37:38,959 --> 02:37:41,760 Speaker 2: someone like myself who lives in Los Angeles. I mean, 3182 02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:44,800 Speaker 2: and I said this specifically when the Chargers moved here, 3183 02:37:44,840 --> 02:37:47,560 Speaker 2: like when the Rams moved here. Okay, they have a 3184 02:37:47,640 --> 02:37:49,959 Speaker 2: history in the city. They left a while ago, but 3185 02:37:50,000 --> 02:37:52,480 Speaker 2: there's plenty of people that remember them and have stuck 3186 02:37:52,520 --> 02:37:55,400 Speaker 2: with the organization since then. But when you start adding 3187 02:37:55,400 --> 02:37:59,160 Speaker 2: a second team when most people already have their main team, 3188 02:37:59,240 --> 02:38:01,280 Speaker 2: the ones that didn't it probably picked up the Rams 3189 02:38:01,280 --> 02:38:04,960 Speaker 2: a year ago, it creates this thing where, like, I mean, 3190 02:38:05,000 --> 02:38:07,240 Speaker 2: I guess the Chargers are doing okay, but I don't 3191 02:38:07,280 --> 02:38:11,039 Speaker 2: think it makes four, you know, for anything incredible. And 3192 02:38:11,040 --> 02:38:12,800 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna tell you, like, like I do go 3193 02:38:12,800 --> 02:38:15,760 Speaker 2: to Vegas pretty regularly. I'm telling you, it's different in 3194 02:38:15,840 --> 02:38:20,880 Speaker 2: the winter with hockey and potentially basketball, because you're not 3195 02:38:20,920 --> 02:38:23,440 Speaker 2: really outside. It does get kind of cold there, and 3196 02:38:23,480 --> 02:38:26,720 Speaker 2: it gets a little dreary during the January February time, 3197 02:38:26,760 --> 02:38:28,680 Speaker 2: like you're looking for stuff to do at night. In 3198 02:38:28,720 --> 02:38:31,480 Speaker 2: the summertime, though, when those pools are open, I'm just 3199 02:38:31,560 --> 02:38:33,280 Speaker 2: telling you, you're having fun in the sun. You're having 3200 02:38:33,280 --> 02:38:34,920 Speaker 2: a couple of drinks, you're hanging out with your friends. 3201 02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:37,480 Speaker 2: You got a seven o'clock first pitch. You don't want 3202 02:38:37,480 --> 02:38:41,040 Speaker 2: to leave at four thirty to go go shower up 3203 02:38:41,080 --> 02:38:44,119 Speaker 2: to to get to the game. So it'll be interesting. 3204 02:38:44,160 --> 02:38:46,280 Speaker 2: We'll continue to monitor it. As Bernie said, it sounds 3205 02:38:46,320 --> 02:38:48,760 Speaker 2: like things are not that far not as far along 3206 02:38:48,760 --> 02:38:51,600 Speaker 2: as people think. Really quickly, Jason, we got a couple 3207 02:38:51,680 --> 02:38:54,760 Speaker 2: games tomorrow in the NBA, or you gonna say something 3208 02:38:54,760 --> 02:38:55,439 Speaker 2: to apologize. 3209 02:38:56,160 --> 02:38:58,680 Speaker 4: No, I can tell you real fast though, because there's 3210 02:38:58,720 --> 02:39:00,800 Speaker 4: four games and we have a less in a minute left. 3211 02:39:01,400 --> 02:39:03,320 Speaker 4: In the first two, I have the series being two 3212 02:39:03,320 --> 02:39:06,320 Speaker 4: to two at the end of tomorrow.
