I want to bring 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 2: it am man. I consider to be the foremost authority, 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: the poet laureate on all things Chargers and the Spanos family, 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: going back to their inception, say hello to Steve Hartman. Steve, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 2: appreciate you coming on tonight. There's no one else I'd rather. 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 3: Have, well Bernie on top of everything else. Of course, 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: I was actually at the game last night, which is 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: a very surreal. Was my first trip to Allegiance Stadium, 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: and of course before I was on the Charger flagship station, 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 3: I was the media relations director for the then La Raiders. 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: So coming out to Raiderland last night with my boys 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: decked out in their Charger gear. My sons are twenty 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 3: seven and twenty five. My youngest son is a diehard 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: Chargers fan. 24 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 4: To sit through that. 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: Debacle last night was almost surreal. And I did tweet 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: during the first half that if this guy has not fired, 27 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: if they have one sliver of credibility, the Chargers have 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: to fire this guy after this performance. And indeed they did. 29 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: But I will give you the inside on exactly why 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: this decision was actually made. 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: We're going to dive deep into this. We're talking with 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: Steve Hartman. You hear him on weekends and all around 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: the network. He said, a spectacular three decade plus career 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: on the airwaves. Steve twenty five years ago, Kevin Gilbride 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: was fired mid season as well. That's the only other 36 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: time this Spanos family has done this. When you heard 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: the news last night, what was you knew jerk reaction? 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I was there when Kevin Golbride 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 3: was fired, and Kevin Gobride basically slit his own throad. 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: He had taken over for the immensely popular Bobby Ross 41 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: and completely disrailed the program, and on top of that 42 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: was a complete jackass. So I mean, he made it 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: easy for them to. 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: Make that decision. 45 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: You know. So the situation here is very simple, and 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: let's let's just let's take a step back, because you 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: have people listening all over the country at Bernie and 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: if you are living in a city that has an 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: NFL team, the NFL rules every city. That is not 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: the case in LA. In fact, it's been a double 51 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: whammy for LA ever since they moved first the Rams 52 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: and then the Chargers into the Los Angeles market. I 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: mean in this time. You know, the Rams obviously have 54 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: actually won a Super Bowl, but to say that the 55 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: NFL has had any kind of impact on the LA 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: sports market is a gross exaggeration. In fact, it's been 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: quite the opposite. LA is ruled by the Los Angeles 58 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: Dodgers in the Los Angeles Lakers and the Rams and 59 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: the Chargers, outside of a few diehard fans that support 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: either one of those teams, have made no progress at all. 61 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: In fact, there's been many surveys done about people that 62 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: identify themselves as NFL fans living in the LA market, 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: and the Chargers aren't even in the top twenty teams. 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: Amongst those that fans are there fans of the Cowboys 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: are the fans of the forty nine Ers. Obviously, the 66 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: Raiders still have a huge fan base in the LA market. 67 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: They're almost zero fans in the LA market for the Chargers. 68 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: So this has been a problem that was predicted and 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: we were in San Diego. I was there in San 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: Diego the Chargers made the move, and I predicted it 71 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: would be a catastrophe for the league. Now it's a 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: good deal for the Chargers because they play rent free, 73 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: they pay, They didn't sell a single PSL. They didn't 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: do anything to gratiate themselves to the LA market. Stan Kroncky, 75 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: of course, you had to pay the bill on a 76 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: six billion dollars stadium at SOFI finally conceded the fact 77 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: that the only use of the Chargers ad was another 78 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: tenant that could fill seats, and they have been filling 79 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 3: seats with fans of the opposing team. And on top 80 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: of all this, if you've been outside Sofi Stadium, there's 81 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: the studios for the NFL Network where the upper floors 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: are eventually going to be the home of the NFL 83 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 3: League office. So the league is desth spread to get 84 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: a foothold in the LA market. They still cannot believe 85 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 3: that this being the eighth season of the Rams in 86 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: LA and the seventh season of the Charge in the 87 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: LA market, that they just are not making any movement 88 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: with these two teams to get a growing fan base. 89 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: And if anything has gone, I'm reversed anyone that's gone 90 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: to any Charger of Rams home games. I mean, how 91 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: embarrassing for the all season long. In fact, since they've 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 3: moved into SOFI, the Chargers have to use silent counts 93 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: to get their plays off in home games. This is 94 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 3: how bad it's been. So this latest debacle that we 95 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: witnessed last night courtesy of Brandon Staley, who was the 96 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: third consecutive coach hired by Tom Telasco, who was also 97 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: fired as general manager. And let's just back up a 98 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: little bit here, because the president of football operations for 99 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: the Charger organization is John Spanos, who happens to be 100 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: the owner's son, Dean Spanish. I like John, John's a 101 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: nice guy. Todd Tlasco night guy. It's not like they're 102 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: bad guys. But to say that John Spanos would be 103 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: working as the president of football operations for any organization 104 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: not owned by his father would be obvious, and his 105 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 3: best friend was Tom Telesco, which accounts why Tom Telesco, 106 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: eleven years into the job with zero division titles, is 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: still working until what happened yesterday, which of course gets 108 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: us to the point, Bernie, of how this actually came 109 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: down that the decision was finally made, and you say, well, 110 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: it had to be obvious. Forty two and not the 111 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: and a half time charges don't need contracts. They didn't 112 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: do it with Mike McCoy, they didn't do it with 113 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: Anthony lenn both of which it had disastrous third seasons. 114 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: They were came back for full four seasons that were 115 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: even worse than the previous season because they wouldn't need contract. 116 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: The difference now is is that the league has made 117 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: it clear to Dean Spanos, who I'll put it this 118 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 3: way about Dean Spanis, who I have known for over 119 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: thirty years. Dean Spanos is one of the classic cases 120 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: of a person that was born on third base and 121 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: think they hit a triple. His father, Alex Spanos, was 122 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: a self made multi millionaire who bought the Charge organization 123 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: in the mid eighties, and he had this do nothing 124 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: son that he had to figure out what am I 125 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: going to do with this guy. He's my oldest son. 126 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: I got to give him something to do in life. 127 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: So he thought, well, I'm going to buy a football 128 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: team and get him involved in the you know, the 129 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: football operation. This is how Dean is ascended to where 130 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: he is. Keep in mind that his own sister's been 131 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: suing him about the inappropriate ways in running the organization. 132 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: But understand this, Dean does not make any decisions on 133 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: his own, even capable of making any decisions on his own. 134 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: This was a. 135 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: Mandate from the league that said, Dean, it's over week. 136 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: You can't do this anymore. We can't carry you anymore. Dean, 137 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: we can't do this in the LA market. You were blessed, 138 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: you lucked out into getting a great young talent, a 139 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,119 Speaker 3: quarterback and Justin Herbert. But your son has no clue 140 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: what he's doing. You have no clue what he's doing, 141 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: and we need to make a change immediately. So I 142 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: guarantee you that the abruptness of this firing had less 143 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: to do about what happened in the first half of 144 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: that game last night, as opposed to the pressure that 145 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: the league is putting on Dean Spanos to get his 146 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: bleep together and get this team on track because it 147 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: has become an embarrassment for the league. 148 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: That's a fascinating talking point. I guarantee what you have 149 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: just characterized their Steve's not being heard on any other 150 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: radio station anywhere. Tremendous insight, Steve. This is too good. 151 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: When you hang with us for one more segment, people 152 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: names are emerging, and I am telling you they are 153 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: all over the map. Some are real head scratchers. I 154 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: will tell you this as you know. I'm connected in Detroit. 155 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: Jim Harball has a crush man crush on Justin Herbert. 156 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: I'm not making any predictions. By the way, I love 157 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: your Kevin Gilbride. My image of Kevin Gilbride, which is 158 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: indeuibly etched, is Buddy Ryan punching him in the jaw 159 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: on the sidelines of a Monday night game. And by 160 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: the way, I love Bobby Ross covered him in Detroit. Folks, 161 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: you're listening to Steve Hartman, don't go anywhere. This is 162 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: fascinating stuff. This is a guy, I will tell you unequivocally, 163 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: the foremost authority on all things Chargers, and I mean that. 164 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 2: And we're talking about going back to eighty four when 165 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: the Spano Spotting Team and their inception when they were 166 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: born in La sixty three years ago.

You hear him 195 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: every Saturday and Sunday on this network, one of the 196 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: more decorated media careers going back to the early eighties, 197 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: the poet laureate All Things Chargers. Steve, Let's dive forward 198 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: because we'll have a little fun here, maybe a lightning 199 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: round on potential coaches. And here's the reason I'm so 200 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: glad to have you tonight, because you, I think have 201 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: an intuitive feel, not what the offshore odds are, not 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: what the pundits say, but what you think the Spanos 203 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: family might do. Bill Belichick's name is emerging. You got 204 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: the floor. 205 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, first of all, understand this part of the 206 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: reason that let's say Belichick's in play for one reason, 207 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: one reason only, and that is the fact that they 208 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: did fire to a lasco. So there's no way that 209 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick is going to accept any position in the 210 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: National Football League unless he has full control of the organization, 211 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: as he has had with the Patriots from more than 212 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: two decades. He's not going to take a job where 213 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: he doesn't have control of personnel and has that been 214 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: working for the Patriots in recent years. He's also going 215 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: to be seventy two years old. Now, I'm sure he'd 216 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: be jazzed to have a talent like Justin Herbert, who's 217 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: definitely a step up for Mac Jones. But to be 218 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: honest with you, is as people want to think that 219 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: that's in play. I just keep in mind with Belichick. Look, 220 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 3: he's on the Mount Rushmore coaches in NFL history, But 221 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: in eleven years without Tom Brady is this quarterback including 222 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: his five years in Cleveland, he's won a total one 223 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: playoff game. So you know the. 224 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: Old with you who made who? 225 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: I mean, we know Tom Brady made Belichick what he was. 226 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: We get it. 227 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's it. 228 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 2: So I had to think, Yeah, I didn't want to. 229 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Belichick's implay. 230 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough, let's get that out of the way. 231 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you, all right. Would the Chargers 232 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: Praytel go back to the up and coming coordinator guy 233 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: who would learn on the job, like a Frank Smith 234 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: or a Kellen Moore. Would the Spanos family go that route? 235 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: Well, I think that this is where the league steps 236 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: in and said, no, we're not going to go that route. 237 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: You did that with Mike McCoy, He did it with 238 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: Anthony len and he did it with Brandon Staley. He 239 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: had three coaches and that had no head coaching experience. 240 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: And how's that going for you? That is not going 241 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 3: to happen. So no, I mean, we're talking about Detroit's 242 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. I'm hearing all kinds of rumors. 243 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean hearing. 244 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 3: You know, Daniel Jeremiah, who is the color analyst for 245 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 3: the Chargers broadcast, of course does great work on the 246 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: NFL network, has a lot of scouting background that might 247 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: he might be promoted into the general manager seat. I 248 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: don't see any of that happen. Let's go back to 249 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 3: what I said earlier, Bernie. The league is now desperate 250 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: to get relevance for the Chargers organization in LA. They 251 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: may need to make a hire that's going to create 252 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 3: a buzz, a buzz, and Jim Harbaugh is the obvious buzz. Now, 253 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: the question is how much money are you going to 254 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: give Jim Harbaugh? How much power are you going to 255 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: give Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh has been a success everywhere 256 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: he's been. He's also a pain in the ass. Okay, 257 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: He's also a guy that tends to overstay his welcome. 258 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: And we've just had a season. How is missig in 259 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: the one seed in the playoff when their coach was 260 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: suspended twice during the season. How do they get rewarded? 261 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: That's beyond me. But it only illustrates again the problems 262 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: and go back to his time of the forty nine ers. 263 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: How does he leave after four years? They couldn't get 264 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: rid of him quick enough? So true, I mean, I 265 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 3: mean they couldn't get rid of him quick enough. So 266 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: these are some of the things that the league, working 267 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: with the Chargers, is going to have to figure out. Obviously, 268 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: a hard arball hiring is going to be a huge 269 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 3: story in the LA market. It's going to be huge. 270 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: It's it's the higher that makes the most sense, especially 271 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: if Michigan goes on to win the National Championship. What 272 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: could be a bigger story than Harbaugh coming back to 273 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 3: the National Football League taking over with Justin Herbert, trying 274 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: to develop this great, young, talented quarterback and make a 275 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: winner in LA. That is the obvious higher see let 276 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: me let me dive in here. 277 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: If I made that. 278 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: Could be a disaster. 279 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm connected. On the other end, Harbaugh's got a 280 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: deal on the table for eleven million plus for five years. 281 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: They're fighting over the buyout. Harborough wants to keep his 282 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: options open. Would you envision this Spanos family paying another 283 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: coach eleven million a year regardless of who it is. 284 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: You can bring back Harlan Tfari for crying out loud. 285 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: I don't think the Spanos family is paying anybody eleven 286 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: million a year. But I'll defer to. 287 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: You, well, they are going to pay eleven million dollars 288 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: a year because I'll tell you why. You remember, they have 289 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 3: a relocation fee that they had to pay when they 290 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: moved the team from San Diego to LA. How much 291 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: money they paid on that so far? Zero? 292 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: Correct? 293 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: So they have over six hundred million dollars they owe 294 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: the other owners in this league. It's time to pay Dean. 295 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: It's time to pay Steve. You move from San Diego 296 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 3: to the LA market. Part of the moves to pay 297 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: a franchise moving fee. He hasn't paid any of it yet. 298 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: Look I'm telling you, Bernie, the League is going to 299 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: take control of this organization they are in. They have 300 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: an imbecile as an owner. The League knows it. Dean's 301 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: been a good boy. He does whatever the League tells 302 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: him to do. And right now they are going to 303 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: dictate the next move for the Chargers. He is going 304 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: to be told what to do. And so if it 305 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: takes eleven million dollars a year or whatever to get 306 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh to create some kind of buzz in la 307 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: for the Chargers, the Chargers are going to come lie 308 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: with the demand coming down from the league. 309 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give you top credit for what I 310 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: call breaking news, because I don't know anybody else that's 311 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: reporting that the decision, the decision to relieve Brandon Staley 312 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: his duties was made at a level above the Spanos family, 313 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: Dean Spanis, etcetera. All right, forgive me, I gotta go 314 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: down this list of names because they're emerging with the Chargers. 315 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: Pray tell again, I'm holding my nose before I see 316 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: it dip into the college ranks for the likes of 317 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: a Lincoln Riley or a Matt Campbell. I give it 318 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: a zero. 319 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 4: What do you give it lesson is zero. 320 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley is a poor man's Cliff Kingsbury. He's a 321 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: one note coach. 322 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: He just proved it at USC. 323 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: He is the idea of Lincoln Riley being an NFL 324 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 3: coach is beyond lappable. Okay, Gampbell would actually be a 325 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: more viable choice. But Lincoln Riley is a joke. He's 326 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: a one note coach. He is Cliff Kingsbury out of 327 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 3: that work in Arizona. So no to both. All these 328 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 3: college coaches are a big zero, no chance, no way, 329 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 3: no how all right. 330 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: So depending on who may or may not make the 331 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: biggest splash. And I just feel the Harball saga would 332 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: sink under its own weight. I just think when push 333 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: comes to shove, Harball's knocking up with the Chargers. We'll 334 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: discuss that on another day. One name, I guarantee you 335 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: that I believe it's gonna This name is going to emerge. 336 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts. He's got familiarity with 337 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 2: the AFC West. I think it would be a splash. 338 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: Hire and quotes. I'm talking about Eric b Enemy. Is 339 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 2: he on the short list? 340 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: Why would Eric the Enemy be on the short list? 341 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: I mean, okay, so he so he goes to the 342 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: commander offensive coordinator. Look, Eric the Enemy is an LA guy, 343 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: you know, any play for the Chargers fairly. I mean, 344 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: he had zero impact on the team as no one, 345 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 3: no one in LA remembers Eric the Enemy as a Charger. 346 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: Originally right him. 347 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: I'm just I'm tim you know, I always found it interesting. 348 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 3: You know, when Doug Peterson was hired by the Eagles 349 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 3: after literally holding Andy Reech's clipboard in Kansas City, everyone 350 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 3: just laughed. They literally said it was the worst iire 351 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: of that season that Doug Peterson had zero business being 352 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: a head coach in the league based on his non 353 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 3: position as offensive coordinator when obviously Andy Read's calling all 354 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: the plays. Well, guess what, Doug Peterson's a hell of 355 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: a coach and he proved in Philadelphia. He's proven again 356 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: in Jacksonville. I'm not saying that Eric the Enemy can't 357 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 3: be a good coach, but I just again't I I 358 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: just don't think it. I don't, I don't think it. 359 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: This is this is again, this is not about the Chargers. 360 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: The Chargers honestly deemed could care less whether a team 361 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 3: wins or not. He's downing the money, but the league cares. 362 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 3: The league needs the Chargers to get some level of 363 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: relevance in the LA market. Hiring Eric me is going 364 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 3: to do there nothing to raise the profiles of Chargers 365 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 3: in LA, Lee or Row. 366 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: What I'm doing is running the gamut of the big names, 367 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: the Belichick's, the Harball's, the flashy coordinators defensive and offensive, 368 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: the college names. None of these are my names. So 369 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: here's and I appreciate that you invoke Doug Peterson's name, 370 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 2: but look out into the pool of candidates. Do you 371 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 2: see a former NFL Super Bowl champion that's available walking 372 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: through that door? And if it is, who would the 373 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 2: name be? 374 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: I don't, like I said, there is one name, and 375 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: one name alone in this whole process. It's Jim Harbaugh. 376 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: It has to be Jim Harbaugh. 377 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: Okay, Jim Harbor. 378 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh is the only coach you can hire. And 379 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: this includes Belichick. Fossilized Bill Belichick, who is best known 380 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: this season for his walk of shame out of that 381 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 3: unexplaining the residence that he was walking out of with 382 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: his shirt off earlier this year. That's been his highlight 383 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 3: of his season. No one's buying into Bill Belichick. He's 384 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: been debunked in so many ways with the departure Brady 385 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: and what's happened to this organization. Speaking of the Patriots, 386 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 3: it has to be Jim Harbaugh. And now again when 387 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: I say it has to be Jim Harbaugh. If not 388 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh, then it doesn't matter who they hire. It 389 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: doesn't matter who they hire. They will stay right where 390 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: they are at ground zero. And that's more bad news 391 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: for the National Football League. The NFL is trying desperately 392 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 3: to create buzz in LA for a team that LA 393 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 3: never wanted. LA never asked for LA. One of the 394 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 3: Chargers remained in San Diego. They never wanted this team. 395 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: The league shoved it down Stan Cronkey's throat. It's been 396 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 3: a fricking nightmare for the NFL from the decision made 397 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 3: to where the Chargers. You know, you know that lion 398 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 3: sack of crap, Roger Goodell. I can still remember him, 399 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 3: tell me to San Diego making his speech about trying 400 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 3: to build some downtown stadium in San Diego for the 401 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: Chargers that never had a chance in l of ever 402 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: being approved. It was a complete charade by the league. 403 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: They wanted the team in LA and now their worst 404 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: nightmare has come true. So when I say it's got 405 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: to be Harbaugh, it got to be Harbaugh. 406 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, final question, and I appreciate you joining 407 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: me tonight. I talked to somebody today and Ann Arbor, 408 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: who talked to Jim Harbaugh yesterday. I can tell you no equivocally, 409 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: he's got a man crush on Justin Herbert. So here's 410 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 2: the question, it's got to be Harball using your words, 411 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing, but what are the chances if you're 412 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: a betting man, what are the chances you give that 413 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, when the dust settles, 414 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 2: it is Jim Harbaugh. 415 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: Well again, and the idea that it wasn't just stay 416 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: and Telesco. I'm telling you for John Spanos, president football Operations, 417 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: to literally fire his best friend, there's only one reason 418 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 3: that would happen, and that was again the league man 419 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 3: dating to this organization, it's time to clean house. We're 420 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: going to start over again. You guys have no clue 421 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 3: what you're freaking doing, and we're going to take control 422 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 3: of this organization and do our best to build a winner. 423 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 3: So the fact that Harball will come with huge demands 424 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: as well. He should. He has a proven track record 425 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 3: and what he did in San Francisco with the forty 426 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: nine ers. He's won everywhere he has been and he 427 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 3: is going to come up with demands off the charts 428 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: in terms of his control of this organization, and they're 429 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: going to have to give it to him. 430 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Give it to him. 431 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: Steve, great, great stuff. Thanks so much. Tell the folk 432 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: where they can find. 433 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: You this weekend, all right, Ernie, thanks, all right. 434 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Steve. You can hear Steve Saturday afternoon, I believe, 435 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: three Pacific to five and then Sunday morning ten am 436 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: to two pm Pacific on football Saturday and Sunday. The 437 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: man knows his stuff. This is an interesting debate. I'm 438 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: going to continue it coming up, and first let's go 439 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest heay. 440 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 6: On Friday night, Jalen Brunton scored fifty points and even 441 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 6: found time to dish out nine assists for the Knicks. 442 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 6: They picked up a one thirty nine to one twenty 443 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 6: two victory over the Suns in Phoenix. Bradley Beal for 444 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 6: Phoenix left the game in the first quarter with an 445 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 6: ankle injury and did not return. Dalton Vessel scored thirty 446 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 6: six points, leading the Spurs to a one to twenty 447 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 6: nine to one fifteen win over the Lakers, snapping an 448 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 6: eighteen game losing streak. LA was without three starters, including 449 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 6: Anthony Davis. The seventy six ers handed the Pistons their 450 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 6: twenty second consecutive loss. Five straight wins for the Rockets, 451 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 6: they defeated Memphis one oh three to ninety six. We 452 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 6: had wins for Boston, Washington, and Atlanta. In NFL news, 453 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 6: Texans quarterback c J. Stroud doubtful for their game against 454 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 6: the Titans with a concussion. Davis Mills expected to get 455 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 6: the start there. Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco will miss 456 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 6: his second consecutive game after undergoing shoulder surgery. Buffalo will 457 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 6: be without safety Micah Hyde against Dallas after he suffered 458 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 6: a stinger last week. In college basketball, Friday Night, fifth 459 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 6: ranked Yukon defeated number ten Gonzaga in Seattle, seventy six 460 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 6: to sixty three. 461 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: Back to Bernie Fratto. 462 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: All right, Kevin, we're gonna have some fun tonight coming 463 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: up top of the hour. We're gonna dive heavily into 464 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: the Draymond Green situation. Look, I respect Steve Harbin tremendously, 465 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: and one of the things that I appreciate about him 466 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: is he does not equivocate. When you ask him a question, 467 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 2: he answers directly, and he backs it up. He is 468 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: correct in the fact that Harball might be the best 469 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 2: fit because he literally checks every single box when I 470 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: look at it from the other end. Given my two 471 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 2: decades in Michigan and the content I still have that 472 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: I still talk to all the time, there are two 473 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: main factors as to whether or not Jim Harball would 474 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 2: become the head coach of the Chargers. One, He's gonna 475 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: want total control, and I mean total control. Secondly, Michigan 476 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: is offering Harball a contract of eleven million over five years, 477 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: fifty five million. He's got total control. And I know 478 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 2: he lives next door to his dad. Make no mistake, 479 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: he never got over losing the Super Bowl to his brother. 480 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: He turned sixty next year. The time is probably right. 481 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: He's got a low buyout, But I understand. I got 482 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: a text in the midst of my conversation with Steve 483 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: Hartman that Jim Harbaugh is likely to command or request 484 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: or demand any way you want to slice it, an 485 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 2: annual salary in excess of fifteen million, and I wish 486 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: I would have asked Steve this now. The bottom line 487 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: is Steve invoked on aspect of this story. I frankly 488 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 2: did not know that the league has imposed its well, 489 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 2: and he's right, it's about time. You got the number 490 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 2: two media market in the country. And I know the Chargers, 491 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: but the Rams are too. They're a distant third or 492 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: fourth behind the Lakers and the Dodgers and USC. You 493 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 2: have to know I lived that market for many years. 494 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: Would the Chargers pay someone fifteen million dollars a year? 495 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 2: I understand, and I wish I had more time with Steve. 496 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: I've been told by sources I have that are not 497 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: as good as Steve's that the Chargers are one of 498 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: the most cash strapped teams in the league. Would they 499 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: pay Jim Harbaugh fifteen million a year? Brand and Staley? 500 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: And again I get it, it's Brandon Staley. He was 501 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: making four million a year. So this is a dicey situation. 502 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: I think it's likely that Harball ends up back in 503 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: the NFL. I'm not going to go down that road. 504 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 2: There's a lot of Harball fans who just automatically think 505 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: he's going to stay there just because and because they 506 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: want him to. I give it seventy thirty that Harbaugh 507 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: leaves for the NFL, but it's got to be right. 508 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: I doubt he goes to the Bears. I realize that 509 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 2: the McCaskey family love him like a son. Right At 510 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: the same time, you have to understand that Kevin Warren, 511 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: the former commissioner of the Big Ten, is now the 512 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: president of the Chicago Bears. You have to understand that. 513 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if you could have Kevin Warren and 514 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh in the same room. They get along worse 515 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 2: than Joan Rivers and Johnny Carson. Google it, kids, it's 516 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: not good. I think that would be a major speed bump. 517 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 2: And by the way, there's no guarantee that they relieve 518 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: Matt Eberflus of his duties. We know that the Chargers 519 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: job is open. There are going to be multiple other 520 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: jobs as well. The Commanders Carolina. Harbaugh does I get 521 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 2: his control in his fifteen million year You know, you 522 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: tell me whether the Chargers are going to do that. Now. 523 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: I immensely respect Steve Hartman's honesty and knowledge and experience. 524 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 2: But I want to revisit Eric Benemy because I absolutely 525 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: interviewed Eric b Enemy and yet I understand that his 526 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: tenure with the Chargers wasn't long. And I understand, yes, 527 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: he's from San Diego, and maybe that in two dollars 528 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: to get you a cup of coffee. But let's take 529 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: a minute to recognize what Eric Benemy did in his 530 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: many years in the AFC West. Right, he was the 531 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for the Chiefs. Now he's calling plays with 532 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 2: the Commanders, and come on, that's an offense that couldn't 533 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: score in a women's prison with a fist full of fifties. 534 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what you're gonna do with that offense. 535 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: But the Chiefs scored the most points per game in 536 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: the NFL thirty point one when the Enemy was the 537 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, along with the most yards per game. They 538 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: averaged four hundred and six yards a game. Kansas City 539 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 2: also had the best record the NFL during the Enemy's run. 540 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: They went sixty four eighteen five conference champion game appearances 541 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: to Super Bowl titles in five years he was the 542 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Patrick Mahomes also had the most passing yards 543 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: passing touchdown, higher passing rating in that span, all with 544 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 2: b Enemy. He's the offensive coordinator. Now, the development of 545 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: Mahomes and Sam Hall, which you can see improvement, should 546 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: be enough to entice the Chargers to hire the Enemy 547 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: and see if he can take Justin Herbert to the 548 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: next level. Justin Herbert is the face of the franchise. 549 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: They've got to build around him. It's time. It's time 550 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: to see what he can do. And I think he 551 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: would fit their budget. I do think it checks several boxes. 552 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: And would he have success with the Chargers. I don't know. 553 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: And I know what you're thinking. Okay, great, well he 554 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 2: had Tyreek Hill, YadA, YadA, yad. Okay, you have to 555 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 2: have a base level of talent to score points and 556 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: win games in the NFL. That's just the way it goes. 557 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick's eighty three to one hundred without Tom Brady. 558 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 2: When he had Tom Brady and he had a six 559 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: Hall of Famers on defense, they went to the Super Bowl, 560 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: damn near every other year. Bill Belichick's resume is undeniable, 561 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 2: his legacy is undeniable, just as Bill Parcells. Bill Belichick 562 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: never won a Super Bowl. Check that Bill Parcells never 563 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick by his side. 564 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 2: So he's been to twelve one to nine two with 565 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: the New York Giants, seven with the New England Patriots. 566 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 2: They don't have the horses right now. Pete Rose said, 567 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: a best coaching football's like driving a stage coach. Without 568 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 2: the horses, yan't going forward. I don't think Bill Belichick's 569 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: a fit in Los Angeles, even if they part ways, 570 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: which I believe they will. Maybe he had some stability. 571 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of effect he would have 572 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: over justin Herbert. He said, look, his time is coming gone. 573 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: He's seventy one. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a 574 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: jobs and we're in the NFL. I just don't think 575 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: the Chargers are the right fit. Bill Belichick has never 576 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: coached west of Cleveland since nineteen seventy nine. That maybe 577 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: plays a factor. You look at some of the other candidates. Okay, 578 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: come on, I realized Ben Johnson is doing a hell 579 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: of a job as the UC for the Lions. I 580 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 2: agree with Hartman. You can't go back to a guy 581 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: learning on the job, whether it's Bobby Slovak, the offensive 582 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: coordinator for the Texans, Mike McDonald, the defensive coordinator for 583 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 2: the Ravens. Forget Lincoln Riley, Forget Matt Campbell. You know, 584 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: you know you're seeing names like Frank Smith from Miami, 585 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: Kellen Moore, forget it. Forget it now. I know I 586 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: just mentioned Eric p Enemy, but that's the exception I'm 587 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: going to make. And I realize that Bill Belichick is 588 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: the offshore favorite to get the job. That means nothing, nothing, 589 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 2: and I think they've got harbaught nine to one. So 590 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: the Chargers have an interesting decision to make because, as 591 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 2: Hartman pointed out, Tom Telesco's last three hires, you put 592 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: their heads together and they can make a rock pile 593 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 2: for whatever reason. And this is an organization under the 594 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 2: Spanos family that fired Marty Schottenheimer after going fourteen to two. 595 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: So I don't know what they do. I really don't. 596 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if God knows what they're gonna do. 597 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: They'll probably come completely out of left field and hire 598 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 2: a name we haven't even talked about. But the most 599 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: fascinating part of this interview, and if you missed any 600 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: of it, Shay will have the podcast up after I 601 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: sign off on the show tonight within an hour or so, 602 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: and you're going to want to hear the first half 603 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: hour because one of the most interesting talking points that 604 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: Steve invoked was the fact that this decision, after this 605 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 2: embarrassing debacle Thursday night, and here in Las Vegas, which 606 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: didn't even look like an NFL game, I am looking 607 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: at a team that quit, that didn't care if they 608 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 2: were there. Somebody asked me on Twitter, how could the 609 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: Raiders get shut out last week and score sixty three 610 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: points this week? Simple? They played an NFL team last 611 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: night with a check that last week against Minnesota, with 612 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 2: a tough, aggressive defense that plays downhill, coached by Brian Flores. 613 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: They're fighting for their collective playoff lives. They were playing 614 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: were the Chargers? Could I say the same about them? No, 615 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: not at all, not even close. They were very disinterested 616 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 2: And if you couldn't see that, Stevie Wonder could see that. 617 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 2: Tonight's show is brought to you by a Progressive insurance. 618 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 2: Progressive makes bundling easy to affordable.

And if we disagree, 627 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 2: that's healthy, because we don't. If we just agree on everything, 628 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: then only one head is doing all the thinking.

But tonight eight seven, seven, 667 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine at midnight if 668 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: you want to win on the Draymond Green situation again. 669 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 2: Final thoughts on Brandon Staley. He was already on the 670 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: hot seat as the Chargers head coach, and obviously this 671 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 2: season they took a major disappointing step backwards. They actually 672 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,479 Speaker 2: were in the playoffs, had a twenty seven point lead 673 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 2: against the Jaguars, coughed it up. This year, they're five 674 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 2: and eight entering the game last night. Injuries they happened 675 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 2: in the NFL. The only year Aaron Rodgers won the 676 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, they had fourteen guys on ir. Okay, the 677 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 2: seventeen oh one to o Miami Dolphins in nineteen seventy 678 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: two won the Super Bowl with a backup quarterback. Look, 679 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 2: you know, losers say you know winners say, tell jokes. Losers, 680 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 2: they shut up and deal. You play the handiard delt 681 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 2: in the NFL. If you aren't able to play the 682 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: handiard delt, you end up like Brandon Stale. You get 683 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: obliterated by the Raiders. Thursday Night Football, sixty three to 684 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 2: twenty one. And by the way, the final score, somehow 685 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: it actually makes the game look a little closer than 686 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: it actually was, that makes any sense. The Chargers didn't 687 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 2: even get on the scoreboard till the third quarter. That's 688 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: when they had already spotted the Raiders without Josh Jacobs 689 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 2: and under the weather, DeVante Adams, they already spotted him 690 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 2: a forty nine to nothing league. Then it got to 691 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 2: sixty three to seven, and I think the referees told 692 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 2: the Raiders count one thousand and one, one thousand and 693 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 2: two before you rush the quarterback. I don't know what 694 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 2: the hell happened. This was an embarrassment to the National 695 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 2: Football League. It's a proud shield. Just to get to 696 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 2: the league, you have to be very special NFL. The 697 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 2: only way an NFL team gives up sixty three points 698 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 2: is if they don't want to be there. Forty two 699 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 2: to nothing at halftime, By the way, at that point, 700 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 2: the Chargers only run twenty five offensive plays on seven series, 701 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: excluding a meaningless run up the middle to run out 702 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 2: the clock the final play of the first half. They ran, 703 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 2: you know, they were averaging like three points six plays 704 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 2: for drive. They had four points, three fumbles, one on 705 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 2: special teams, and a turnover on downs. That is about 706 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 2: as much of it, if you know, an ass kicking 707 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 2: as you will ever see in the National Football League. 708 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 2: By the way, the Raiders just the third team in 709 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 2: NFL history to shut out their opponent in the first 710 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 2: half while also scoring forty two points. And again, the 711 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 2: Raiders were shout out last week. So what happens next 712 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,959 Speaker 2: to Brandon Staley? Believe it or not, I'm hearing Sean 713 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 2: McVay is a good guy. He's a very good coach too, 714 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 2: And there's always these rumors you might go to TV. 715 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 2: I don't know that he's ready to do that anytime soon. 716 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 2: And when you look at Sean mcvay's relatively short tenure 717 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 2: in the National Football League, he's not only won a 718 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, he's produced a stable of quality head coaches. 719 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur, Green Bay, Zach Taylor, Cincinnati Kevin O'Connell Minnesota. 720 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 2: Those guys have all had success with their new teams. However, 721 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 2: Brandon Staley, who's also part of the Sean McVay coaching treat, 722 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 2: never quite found the same success. The record books will 723 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 2: show that Brandon Staley was twenty four and twenty four 724 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 2: as a Chargers head coach, just five and nine this season, 725 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 2: But who knows. Given the strong relationship between Sean McVay 726 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: and Brandon Staley. Frankly, it might not be that surprising 727 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 2: to see Brandon Staley end up back with the Rams. 728 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: If you give him credit. The Rams had the best 729 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 2: top total scoring defense the only year that show that 730 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 2: Brandon Staley was managing the defense with in Los Angeles, 731 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 2: and he wouldn't have to move.

In the third quarter 744 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 2: of the Warriors game against Phoenix on Tuesday night, Green 745 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 2: found him self back in the locker room after getting 746 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 2: ejected for hitting use Off Nurkic in the head. By 747 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 2: now you've seen the video a thousand times. He looks 748 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,760 Speaker 2: like a whirling dervish. He looks like a damn fool. 749 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 2: That's what he is, a damn fool. I don't want 750 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 2: to hear any different now. The two it started out, 751 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 2: both were sort of battling for a position. When Green 752 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 2: in green back was back, his back was to Nurkic. 753 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 2: He turned around and swung his hand at Nurkic. He 754 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 2: connected with the side of his head kind of face 755 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: near the ear sensitive spot. Nurkic goes down. Now it's 756 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: very likely that Draymond Green could be off for a 757 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 2: bit of time. We already know he's been given in 758 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 2: a suspension. This time, it's indefinite. This time, there's all 759 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: kinds of rhetoric floating around. But what's interesting, We just 760 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 2: talked about this last month on fourteenth, almost a month 761 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 2: to the day when he tried to put Rudy Gobert 762 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: in a headlock. Now again, we don't know the length 763 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 2: of Braymond Green's suspension. If you think Draymond Green should 764 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 2: be suspended for the rest of the year, fine, you 765 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,959 Speaker 2: think the four yeers should get rid of him, Fine, 766 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 2: you want to defend Draymond Green, Fine, Steve Kerr, let's 767 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 2: hear from you. I eight seven seven nine nine six 768 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: six three six nine. But here's the kicker. If Draymond 769 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 2: Green's suspension is fewer than twenty games, he'll be docked 770 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,439 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty three thousand, ninety one per game. 771 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 2: If it's more than twenty games, he'll be docked two 772 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 2: hundred and two thoy nine to twenty two per game. Interesting, 773 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 2: So the longer it goes. But if you haven't seen 774 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 2: by now, the body of work for this knucklehead, there 775 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 2: have been seven of these, going back to June of 776 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, when he had the all altercation with Lebron 777 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 2: during the NBA Finals. And if you don't think that 778 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: that cost them the championship, you're wrong. They were up 779 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 2: three games to one. They missed that. He missed pivotal 780 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 2: Game five, Draymond did that led to Cleveland winning the championship. 781 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 2: You've heard the drop of. 782 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: That, Cleveland, this is for you. 783 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 2: Well, they did it, They did it. This I believe 784 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 2: was the most famous of Green's instances. And it was 785 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 2: his first Game five of the NBA Finals, and I 786 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:41,919 Speaker 2: believe it fueled the Cleveland Calfs to a championship down 787 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 2: game four. Actually, Lebron James and and and Draymond got 788 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: tangled up at bulk you know, at half court, excuse me, 789 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 2: And as Lebron James tried to step over Draymond, Green 790 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 2: extended his arm and made contact with another region. Yes, 791 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,879 Speaker 2: and the original call on the floor was a double file. 792 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 2: But then the NBA reviewed the play after the game. 793 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 2: He decided Green's actions warranted a flagrant won. And because Draymond, 794 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 2: being this smart guy he is, always wants to take 795 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,280 Speaker 2: how smart he is, he already had three flagrant files 796 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 2: during the twenty sixteen NBA Playoffs. His fourth resulted in 797 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 2: an automatic suspension for Game five, and you know how 798 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 2: the rest of the story goes. Lebron James led the 799 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 2: Cavs down three games to one to win the championship. 800 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 2: They knocked off Golden State on their home court in 801 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 2: a historic Game seven. Kyrie Irving hit in the final shot. 802 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 2: But most sane people I know that I've talked to 803 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 2: strongly believe had that suspension not taken place, Golden State 804 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 2: would have won, proving this was no fluke. Two years later, 805 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 2: he got suspended again. This time it was for an 806 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 2: altercation with his teammate Kevin Durant. He was quote suspended 807 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 2: for one game one game without pay, were conduct detrimental 808 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 2: to the team following an altercation with Kevin Durant, his teammate. 809 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 2: It happened in the final seconds of a regular season 810 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,360 Speaker 2: game against the Clippers. Draymond grabbed a rebound, and although 811 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 2: Durant was calling for the ball, Draymond elected to go 812 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 2: coast to coast, drives them to traffic, turns the ball over. 813 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 2: The Warriors didn't get a shot off and eventually lost 814 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 2: in overtime, but not before Green and Durant had a 815 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 2: heated exchange on the sidelines between periods. Now. The argument 816 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 2: also carried into the locker room after the game, and 817 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 2: it's been acknowledged by both Draymond and Kevin Durant as 818 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,400 Speaker 2: a turning point in Durant's eventual departure from Golden State. 819 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 2: Score another loss for Draymond Green. Let's fast forward to 820 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty three season. This is where it 821 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 2: gets interesting because what happened Tuesday night now adds up 822 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 2: to Bond's fourth suspension in the calendar year twenty twenty three. Now, 823 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: this one actually started in twenty twenty two. This is 824 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 2: when he got fined for punching Jordan Poole. It actually 825 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 2: resulted in the fine now suspension, but it's become an 826 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 2: infamous moment for Draymond Green. The footage showed. There was 827 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 2: practice footage that leaked that showed Draymond Green punching Jordan 828 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 2: Poole in the face. It was pretty ugly. He was 829 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: a team issued suspension. Supposedly they thought it would be coming, 830 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 2: but Golden State elected to fine Green and step away 831 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 2: from the team for a few days. So characterizing anything 832 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 2: you want. He ended up playing in the Warriors final 833 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 2: preseason game and was available to suit up for the 834 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 2: first game of the twenty twenty two to twenty three season, 835 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 2: the bottom line being he missed time due to untoward behavior. Again. 836 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 2: Last season, the twenty three season, he was forced to 837 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 2: serve at one game suspension for collecting his sixteenth technical 838 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 2: file of the year. Remember, under NBA rules, any player 839 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 2: or coach, they're automatically suspended without pay for one game 840 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 2: once you received your sixteenth technical file during the regular season. 841 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,760 Speaker 2: For every two additional technical files received during the regular season, 842 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 2: any player or coach would be suspended for additional games 843 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 2: without pay. So Draymond picked up his sixteenth technical file 844 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 2: and the Warriors loss to the Clippers mid March this 845 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 2: last year. Mid March, so countary year twenty twenty three. Right, 846 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 2: he served a one game suspension on March seventeenth. Let's 847 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 2: flash forward again to twenty twenty three. Now it technically 848 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 2: it's a twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four season. However, 849 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 2: it's the calendar year twenty twenty three. This just happened 850 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 2: a month ago. His latest antics earned him a five 851 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 2: game suspension because on November fourteenth, what Draymond Green did 852 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 2: was insert himself into an altercation between Clay Thompson and 853 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 2: Jade McDaniels as the Warriors played the Timberwolves. It was 854 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: during one of the tournament games and Green charged at 855 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert put him in a headlock amidst the scrap. 856 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,240 Speaker 2: Green was ejected for his actions, as were Klay Thompson 857 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 2: and and Jade McDaniels. I get all that, but once again, 858 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,280 Speaker 2: Draymond Green right in the middle of it. Thirty days later, 859 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 2: now this suspended indefinitely by the NBA for striking use 860 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 2: of nurkic. Okay, this guy has got a body of work. 861 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 2: Let's get your thoughts. Let's go out to the phones. 862 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 2: We're joined by Joe from Alaska. Joe, your thoughts on 863 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 2: the Draymond Green saga. 864 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 8: Hey, there they stick. McCall. I think anything less than 865 00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 8: the rest of the season would not be good for 866 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 8: him because that's just going to give him let time 867 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 8: to work on himself. And I don't think he's gonna 868 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 8: learn in this thing if he doesn't get the center 869 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 8: of the rest of the year. And I don't think 870 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 8: it's gonna look good for the NBA, and it doesn't 871 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 8: set a good example. People are going to Oh, I 872 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 8: can put someone in the headlocks, start to fight and 873 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 8: lose some money to spend a couple of games and 874 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 8: backs on the course. So I think that will happen enough. 875 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 2: Why do you suppose Drew real quickly, quick question. Why 876 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 2: do you suppose that the Golden State Warriors continue to 877 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 2: enable Draymond Green when clearly he's lost the yard office fastball. 878 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 2: I won't deny that he's been a major contributor to 879 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 2: their championships, but he's not the same player. Why do 880 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 2: you suppose they enable this behavior? 881 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 8: I think other than him being a part of their championships, 882 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 8: they might have to do a little bit with the 883 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 8: NBA business side of things, and also maybe giving him 884 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 8: a second chance kind of thing. But Jensen are gone. 885 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Joe, appreciate you checking in speaking of 886 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 2: this would be a seventh chance again. You're going back 887 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,240 Speaker 2: to June to twenty sixteen, the Lebron altercation suspended one game, 888 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 2: November twenty eighteen, conduct detrimental to the team, suspended one 889 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 2: game situation with his own teammate Kevin Durant. March twenty 890 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 2: twenty three, recorded his sixteenth technical that's an automatic one 891 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,439 Speaker 2: game suspension, one month later April to twenty twenty three. 892 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 2: Steps On Demontes Sabonis gets suspended one game November twenty 893 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 2: twenty three, one month ago, gets a five game suspension 894 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 2: with Rudy Gobert. So between March April November and now 895 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 2: we're talking nine months, he's had four altercations that are 896 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 2: leading to suspensions. This one, this one is indefinite. So 897 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 2: the league said, the penalty that you know, which was 898 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 2: handed down by Joe Dumar is a guy, have a 899 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: lot of respect for it. Dealings with him in Detroit. 900 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 2: It began immediately. It's his second suspension this season. And 901 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 2: here's the part that makes my teeth itch. Says he'll 902 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,439 Speaker 2: be required to meet certain league and team conditions before 903 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 2: he returns to play. That's what the NBA is saying, 904 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 2: What the hell does that mean? Coming up, we're gonna 905 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 2: bring in the crew. Want to get Kevin Stotts. I 906 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 2: want to get shave thoughts. Keep full of lines open 907 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 2: for your calls.

The likelihood is that Draymond's gonna 911 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 2: do something like this again. And like the caller said, 912 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 2: Joel said, he's not gonna learn. He's not gonna learn anything. 913 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 2: You can only hope he exercises restraint. And what have 914 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 2: you seen? What evidence do you have that leads you 915 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 2: to believe he's actually going to do that.

Bill, your thoughts on the Draymond Green saga. 930 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,439 Speaker 9: Hey, Bernie, how you doing? 931 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,760 Speaker 2: Should you no bounds? 932 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,800 Speaker 9: Is going to work? Work for newspapers? 933 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,240 Speaker 2: Alrighty, I named Draymon. 934 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 9: I mean sports is the only thing when you actually 935 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 9: hit somebody and you're non file from our assault. You 936 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,919 Speaker 9: know that was a fault guy. He hit that guy 937 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 9: so hard to the knees, you know. 938 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 2: I mean that's all true, and it's always been that way. Uh, 939 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 2: and he's got a body of work. You bring up 940 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 2: an interesting point. But irrespective of that, what do you 941 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 2: think should happen to Draamond Green? Then? And let of 942 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 2: your and let of your observation. 943 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 9: I think the uh they should least uh go to counseling. 944 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 9: The DA should be involved. I mean, this is a 945 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 9: post of altercations shouldn't happen. It's the uh in this 946 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 9: time of day, this day and age. I mean, you 947 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 9: need to control yourself. The optics of the sport. You know, 948 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 9: it's definitely definitely bad. I think the average fan don't 949 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 9: like it at all. 950 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Bill, appreciate you checking in. Yet, no 951 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. I do not think that the 952 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 2: DA or the county prosecutor or whatever the jurisdiction there 953 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 2: is will get involved in any way. It seemingly never happens. Uh. 954 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,399 Speaker 2: But the thing I'm most curious about is what you're 955 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 2: gonna get him some stupid ten game suspension and say, yeah, 956 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 2: he went to doctor Ruth and we're all set now, 957 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 2: not buy an it. Let's go out to the phones. 958 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: Carl from Minnesota, you're up next. What are your thoughts? 959 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 4: Thanks so much for having me on, Bernie. It feels 960 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 4: like the Warriors are a little scared to put the 961 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 4: lay the law down on Draymond at times. But but 962 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 4: if you ask me, I feel like he should get 963 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 4: half to a full season. But it really feels like 964 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 4: Adam Silver doesn't like to hand out big punishments. I mean, 965 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,879 Speaker 4: you look at what happened with John Morant. He didn't 966 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 4: give very much. And I mean, I mean, you've got 967 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 4: to start laying the law down to to shut down 968 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 4: things like this. If you asked me, thanks, Bernie, I'll 969 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 4: hang up. 970 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 2: In the them. Okay, thanks Carl, appreciate your thoughts. You're 971 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 2: always welcome. Look, and it's I guess it's fair to 972 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 2: invoke the John Morant situational. It's quite a bit different 973 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 2: because John Morant, you know the apples and orgies in 974 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 2: the sense man oh man, o man, we talk about 975 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 2: guns and stuff. Okay, let's set that aside. You are 976 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,439 Speaker 2: right throughout John Morant's punishment could have been a lot worse. 977 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 2: The similarity is is the repeat offenders. For Morant it 978 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 2: was his second he's just getting going in the league. 979 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 2: For Draymond it's his seventh. Kevin figures, I want to 980 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,880 Speaker 2: get your thoughts. First of all, how long do you 981 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 2: think Draymond gets as a suspension and what do you 982 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 2: think he should get two different questions. 983 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,759 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the fact that it's indefinite and I don't 984 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 6: know if they've given themselves an arbitrary timeline as to 985 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 6: when to determine, you know, when they're going to have 986 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 6: a definitive number of games. If I had to guess, 987 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 6: it'd probably be somewhere around the twenty range. And you 988 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 6: reference the fact that he's a repeat offender, and this 989 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 6: is something that's happened over years. There's really no precedent 990 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,880 Speaker 6: for this, because look, you go back into the NBA 991 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 6: back in the old days, and you reference the bad 992 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 6: Boy Pistons from years ago, where a lot of the 993 00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 6: fouls and a lot of these things were the norm, 994 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 6: but to the point of where you're smacking guys upside 995 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 6: if they had stopping them below the equator, and basically 996 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 6: is unapologetic by most of you know most of these 997 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,920 Speaker 6: I know he was somewhat apologetic the other night, but 998 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 6: he can't say that he was trying to make a 999 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 6: basketball move. 1000 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: We all know that that's not true. So whether or 1001 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 1: not he has to. 1002 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 6: See counseling, if there is something else going on mentally, 1003 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 6: you know, I'm not privy to be able to speak 1004 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 6: to that, but it's something that's been rampant throughout his 1005 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 6: entire career. And if you're the Golden State Warriors, you've 1006 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 6: enabled it, and you've really enabled to be based on 1007 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 6: the fact that you gave him a contract extension last offseason. 1008 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 6: I mean, you basically gave this guy close to her 1009 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 6: pretty much of a maximum contract. And this was in 1010 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 6: the midst of him doing all of these things on 1011 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 6: the court. So as much as Steve Kerr says, yeah, 1012 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 6: he has to act better and everything, it's not they're 1013 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 6: not doing any They're they're basically saying one thing and 1014 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,920 Speaker 6: doing another. And I think that's the issue when it 1015 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 6: comes to Golden State, they see him as an asset 1016 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 6: to them on the floor for what he brings defensively, 1017 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 6: giving them a bit of an edge, and almost they're 1018 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 6: just they're willing to accept whatever he takes away from them. 1019 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: When it comes to his antics, I feel like there. 1020 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 2: Might be a bit of a victim to his prior 1021 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 2: success because he clearly was a key cog in their 1022 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 2: championship seasons, There's no two ways about it. And he's 1023 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 2: lost the yard off his fastball, but he's still a 1024 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 2: pretty good defender and he's a very good passer. I'm 1025 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 2: gonna ask you a tough question, though I don't answer it. First, 1026 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 2: I'd give him a full year. This one's got to hurt. 1027 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 2: This is it. This is his fourth rodeo in the 1028 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,800 Speaker 2: calendar year twenty twenty three. He ain't getting it. He 1029 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 2: ain't getting it. That might make him think if he 1030 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 2: didn't play anymore basketball to November of twenty twenty four, 1031 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: would you lay down the hammer or would you perhaps 1032 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 2: be a little bit more lenient As. 1033 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 6: It were, I'd probably be slightly more lenient than giving 1034 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 6: a full season. I mean, look, the last full season 1035 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 6: suspension we got. I think and correct me if I'm 1036 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 6: wrong toaly our Test and the mallice in the Palace 1037 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 6: that was. I think that was next level, because it's 1038 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 6: one thing to get into it with guys between the lines. 1039 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 6: When you run into the fans and start in to 1040 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 6: the stands and start beating up fans, that makes it 1041 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 6: to a completely different level. So if Ron's got a 1042 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 6: complete season for beating up fans, I do think it's 1043 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 6: a little bit different when you're in the heat of 1044 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 6: battle between the lines and somewhere between fifteen and twenty. 1045 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 6: But I don't know if I would go as far 1046 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 6: as to give him an entire season. 1047 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. We're coming up next year in the 1048 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 2: twenty year anniversary of the mouse at the Palace, and 1049 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 2: I was there that night. We were doing a radio remote. 1050 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 2: I saw the whole thing. People frankly don't tell the 1051 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 2: story right. Interestingly enough, I don't think that our Test 1052 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 2: had been in trouble before. And again you waited two. 1053 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 2: You're right, what he did was a lot more egregious 1054 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 2: than what Draymond has done. But graymons All also had 1055 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 2: six or seven incidents. Shae, your thoughts on this, What 1056 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 2: do you think happens, what would you do, and just 1057 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 2: your general the general overview. 1058 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 10: Real Cook, I just want to say, that's so cool 1059 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 10: that you were at the Palace. In the palace, I 1060 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,920 Speaker 10: didn't know were you up in the media sectually. 1061 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 2: Well, we were doing a radio remote in the concourse 1062 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 2: and the show was terminating at eleven pm. We went 1063 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 2: to our final break and I walked through the you know, 1064 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 2: the entryway there to see what was going on, and 1065 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 2: it's just fluky. Precisely that moment, Ben Wallace is driving 1066 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 2: to the rack for a layout. The game had been 1067 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 2: long decided. There's only a minute to go in the game. 1068 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 2: The Pacers were up by about eighteen and Ron our 1069 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 2: Test follows him really hard from behind and pushes him. 1070 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 2: And then Ben Wallace pushes rom to our Test where 1071 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 2: he goes and lays on the scorers table. And a 1072 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 2: beard didn't come flying down, an empty beer cup came 1073 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 2: flying down. The guy by the name of John Green 1074 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 2: became a household name in Detroit, and the rest is history. Oh, 1075 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 2: by the way, one of the unknown sort of factoids 1076 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 2: that night, one of the referees on the floor, Tim Donneghey, 1077 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 2: believe it or not, Yes, that that Tim Donnehey, But anyway, 1078 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 2: let's get your thoughts shay On Ramon. 1079 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 10: No, Yeah, that's really cool. I wanted to mention that 1080 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 10: just because I've always seen YouTube videos and all that, 1081 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 10: I've never really heard like a first hand account of it. 1082 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 2: So that's really cool. Bernie. 1083 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 10: So yeah, I mean, I mean you hear it from 1084 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 10: the promos too, from Mike Carmon and from the Jason 1085 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 10: Smith Show. I mean I agree with him basically where 1086 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,120 Speaker 10: it's not going to change him. I mean, he's a 1087 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 10: grown man. He's been this way for so long. I 1088 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 10: don't think like what like three sessions with a therapist 1089 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 10: and some anger management is going to change the guy. 1090 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 10: He is who he is, and he's made a lot 1091 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 10: of money being who he is. And that's another reason 1092 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 10: why I think that the NBA and the Warriors keep 1093 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 10: letting him do this. It's who he's been forever almost. 1094 01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 10: It's kind of something we've always seen from him kicking 1095 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,640 Speaker 10: someone in the nuts or doing the craziest things, and 1096 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 10: it's I mean, they let it happen. And again, like 1097 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 10: there's never going to be a situation where they go 1098 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 10: to prison for it, Like there isn't going to be 1099 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 10: a situation where another player will probably press charges because 1100 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 10: it's never been done before and it probably will never 1101 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 10: be done. But the thing with Draymond is again, like 1102 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 10: I think they'll end up suspending him for the year. 1103 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 10: I really do, just because of the media outcry. This time. 1104 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 10: It's a lot different from the others, especially because it's 1105 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 10: back to back to back so early in the season. 1106 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 10: I mean, it's keeping the Warriors in the headlines, I guess, 1107 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 10: which is good for the Warriors. They're happy, and especially 1108 01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 10: in a year they're like ten and fourteen. 1109 01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 2: They don't want kind of headline big fellow, Are you 1110 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 2: sure about that? Though? Positive, because it's become a circus act. 1111 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 10: But at that point they would do something about it. 1112 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 2: But now it's like they know what DJ infamous, the 1113 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 2: missing link. He's a Pete one listener to our show. 1114 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Listen to what he said via Twitter. 1115 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 2: I believe Kerr wants to remain a player's coach versus 1116 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 2: disciplining his players. I'm sure Bob Myers had enough of 1117 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 2: the favoritism in the organization. Bob Myers was the president. 1118 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 2: He's since left. He's on TV now Towards the players 1119 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,560 Speaker 2: you saw Charles Barkley congratulated for jumping off a sinking ship. 1120 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Draymond quote won't learn his lesson unless his suspension holds 1121 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 2: all season. You got the last word, Shay, And I 1122 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 2: think that's the key point to learn here if you 1123 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 2: want to rehabilitate Draymond, He's got no chance of learning 1124 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 2: this lesson unless he misses all year. You got the 1125 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 2: last word. Oh, I definitely agree. I agree with that 1126 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 2: as well. 1127 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 10: If he needs to miss a year, I still don't 1128 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 10: think it will change him at all and he'll come 1129 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 10: back the same. But yeah, I think it's going to 1130 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 10: be a year max or at minimum. 1131 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 2: All right, buddy, good stuff. Appreciate both you guys and 1132 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 2: your input. And by the way, uh, Draymond wasn't the 1133 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 2: only one who got a little hot under the collar 1134 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 2: this week. Can you imagine fighting over a game ball. 1135 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 2: We'll take you down that road coming up, And first, 1136 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 2: le's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest. 1137 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 6: All right, Well, Friday night in the NBA, jayleb Brunson dominated. 1138 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,680 Speaker 6: He had nine of his three pointers, and I should 1139 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,440 Speaker 6: say he made all nine of his three pointers, and 1140 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 6: he scored fifty points. Lead the Knicks to a one 1141 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 6: thirty nine to one twenty two victory over the Suns. 1142 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 6: Phoenix has lost four of their last five games. Jason 1143 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 6: Tatum scored thirty points and a one twenty eight to 1144 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 6: one eleven Celtics win over Orlando San Antonio snapped its 1145 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,080 Speaker 6: eighteen game losing streak. They defeated the Lakers one twenty 1146 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 6: nine to one fifteen. You had thirty five points and 1147 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 6: four block shots for Joel Embiid in a one twenty 1148 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 6: four to ninety two victory over Detroit, who has lost 1149 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 6: twenty two consecutive games.

Yep 1160 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 2: Yannis in the news this week. It's hard to remember 1161 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 2: when the affable, likable Jannis and Tennecoupo got as upset 1162 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 2: as you would have seen him Thursday night, and you 1163 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,000 Speaker 2: would have thought it might have been a joyce evening, 1164 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 2: but it was. Instead, the headlines are all about a 1165 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 2: game ball, a shove, and even some yelling what the 1166 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: hell happened? Well, Yallas scored a career high sixty four 1167 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 2: points in Milwaukee's won forty one to twenty six win 1168 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 2: over Indiana the other night, career high and a Bucks record. Incredibly, 1169 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,400 Speaker 2: did it without even making a single three pointer. Player 1170 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 2: to scored sixty points without a three since Shaq did 1171 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 2: it twenty three years ago. Now, after the game, the 1172 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,880 Speaker 2: Pacers allegedly took the game ball, intending to give it 1173 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 2: to rookie Oster Schuibey from Kentucky. He scored his first 1174 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 2: NBA points that night. Now, Antennakoupo and by extension, all 1175 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 2: the Bucks they were mad. They were angry about this. 1176 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 2: Some of them chased after the Pacers into the tunnel 1177 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 2: leading into the visitors' locker room looking for the ball. Now, 1178 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 2: Rick Carlisle even alleged that as general manager, Chad Buchanan 1179 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 2: had been elbowed in the ribs during the freakus. Now, 1180 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 2: the dispute even continued on into the postgame interviews, and 1181 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 2: that's where Yannis could be seen arguing with PACER's star 1182 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburn. Now, both Giannis and Lillard said after the 1183 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 2: game they believe the Pacers took the ball, yet one 1184 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 2: video showed the Bucks ending up with the game ball 1185 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,960 Speaker 2: at least on the floor. Now, this is an using situation. 1186 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 2: We don't have clarity. I don't know if you want 1187 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,960 Speaker 2: to call it game ballgate or whatever the hell you 1188 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 2: want to call it. But you know what's interesting, this 1189 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 2: one that kind of got a kick out of These 1190 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 2: guys are human because you had two very mild mannered 1191 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,960 Speaker 2: superstars in less than a week snap a little bit. 1192 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 2: One was Giannison Tennakoupo, the other Patrick Mahomes. And by 1193 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 2: the way, Kadarius Tony, you are one thousand percent in 1194 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 2: the wrong. If you're a wide receiver played I was 1195 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 2: a wide receiver. I sable. You look at the line 1196 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 2: of scrimmage, you look you forget it. I'm not even 1197 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 2: gonna go down that road. You gotta know better. Forgive me. 1198 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm not going down that road. Coming up. Another guy 1199 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 2: spoke out this week in rhymes with Cam Newton, and 1200 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 2: he gave speeches on game managers which raised the ire 1201 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 2: of lots of people, including me. Selle have that for 1202 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 2: you coming up. I'm Bernie fraddlewor Kenedy Lve from the 1203 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,400 Speaker 2: Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tyrack dot com studios. Locked 1204 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 2: right here, you're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox 1205 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 2: Sports Radio. All right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, 1206 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Come to you live from the Tirak 1207 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 2: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. Take up to 1208 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,479 Speaker 2: two am Pacific five a m. Eastern before I dive 1209 01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 2: into the Cam Newton wisdom. One quick final tweet on 1210 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 2: Draymond I think this is a good one from Tiburan 1211 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 2: six seven to two. Oh. I believe Draymond Green felt 1212 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 2: free to deliver the punch because he received such little 1213 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 2: consequences for the choke hold. It's a very fair point. Obviously, 1214 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 2: his prior punishments has not served as a deterrent. All right, 1215 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 2: Cam Newton made some headlines this week because well, he 1216 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 2: felt compelled to give him his observations on multiple starting 1217 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the National Football League. Let's give it a listen. 1218 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 11: Lamar Jackson, obviously, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott brat parody like, 1219 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 11: but brock Let's they're not winning because of him. 1220 01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 2: He's not turning the ball over. He's managing the game. 1221 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 11: And if we were to put that in its own right, 1222 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:22,799 Speaker 11: as game managers, brock parody to a tongue of below, 1223 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:28,839 Speaker 11: Jared Goff and really Dak Prescott, these are game managers. 1224 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 11: They're not different makers. And when you say game manager, 1225 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 11: I'm not asking you to go out and win the game. 1226 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,759 Speaker 11: I'm just asking not to lose the game. That's listening. 1227 01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 11: I don't give a damn what you do. You don't 1228 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 11: have to score every time. You just don't have to 1229 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 11: throw a pick every time either. If we're gonna really 1230 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,639 Speaker 11: call a spade a spade, a game manager is different 1231 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 11: than a game changer. 1232 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:55,400 Speaker 2: With all their respect, because I think Cam Newton's Cam 1233 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,600 Speaker 2: Newton's legacy in the National Football League is secure. He 1234 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 2: took a one to fifteen, got him to the Super Bowl, 1235 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 2: won a National championship, at Auburn. He played hard and 1236 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 2: he was effective until he wasn't. And that happens to everybody. 1237 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:14,160 Speaker 2: Father time and gravity catch up with everybody. Uh. When 1238 01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 2: I hear comments like that, they make my teeth ititch aw. 1239 01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,559 Speaker 2: He's got a right to his opinion, but that doesn't 1240 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,680 Speaker 2: mean I have to agree with it. Frankly, that's I 1241 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 2: would call that. Let's play Mickey the dunk segment. First 1242 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 2: of all, I want to address two things there. There 1243 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 2: for what for some reason, there is this connotation that 1244 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 2: if you're labeled a game manager or a system quarterback. Uh, 1245 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 2: that's that's a swear word. That's a bad thing, breaking news. 1246 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 2: Guess what. Tom Brady was a game manager. Tom Brady 1247 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 2: was a system quarterback. So is Joe Montana. So is 1248 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 2: everybody who's ever gotten under center in the National Football League. 1249 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 2: Because you have to function within the framework of a system. Now, 1250 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 2: Brock Purty happens to operate at a very high level 1251 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,760 Speaker 2: in that same system. Trey Lance had a chance at 1252 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 2: that same system. What the hell happened to him? Tua 1253 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,480 Speaker 2: has been healthy, He's been highly effective in that system. 1254 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,799 Speaker 2: Under Mike McDaniel. He operates at a very high level. 1255 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 2: In that system, and until recently with Jared Goffin has 1256 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 2: turnedover same thing, AND's certainly Dak Prescott, who I called 1257 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 2: mister October, I would never sure their game managers. You 1258 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 2: have to manage the game, and nobody asks you not 1259 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 2: to lose the game. You have to have a base 1260 01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 2: level of talent in the National Football League to be 1261 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 2: a quarterback in the first place, and I'm going to 1262 01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 2: get that to that just a second. The other swear 1263 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:53,840 Speaker 2: word is again system quarterback. They're all system quarterbacks. You 1264 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 2: have to function within the framework of a system. So 1265 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 2: to Cam Newton, Now what happens when the play breaks 1266 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 2: down and you have to make plays off script. If 1267 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 2: you haven't watched film on brock Perty and see the 1268 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 2: tight windows he's thrown into the ability to keep plays 1269 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 2: alive with his feet, his accuracy, I'm sorry. He's made 1270 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 2: enough big time throws to me that he's more than 1271 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 2: just a simple game manager. You don't want a game. 1272 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 2: Game breakers don't win Super Bowls. I'm as big a 1273 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 2: Michael Vick fan as you'll ever find. Never won a 1274 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Neither did Fran Tarkenton once it, Neither has 1275 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and neither will justin fields. Here's the situation. 1276 01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 2: A quarterback's most important trait period period is the importance 1277 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 2: of recognition. You've got to be able to make. Quarterback 1278 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,559 Speaker 2: is a position you play with your eyes. You make 1279 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 2: pre snap reads, you process coverages, you receive the ball, 1280 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 2: then you make your post snap reads and see how 1281 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 2: they match up with your pre snap observations, and then 1282 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 2: you have less than two seconds to execute. I don't 1283 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 2: give a damn how fast you run, how high you jump, 1284 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 2: or if you can throw the ball farther than Uncle Rico. 1285 01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:13,479 Speaker 2: You can't hold on to the damn ball paging justin fields. 1286 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,559 Speaker 2: You have to get it out of your hand to 1287 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 2: do that. That requires recognition. If you do that and 1288 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 2: you are recognizing the game plan that the offensive coordinator 1289 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 2: has spent hours putting together. The pieces of a puzzle 1290 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 2: all have to work in an NFL offense, they're very sophisticated. 1291 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 2: That requires recognition. That requires the ability to be a 1292 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,880 Speaker 2: game manager and to be a system quarterback. It is 1293 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 2: not a swear word to be either one of those. 1294 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,760 Speaker 2: The question is, within the framework of a system and 1295 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,559 Speaker 2: within the ability that you have to manage a game, 1296 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,680 Speaker 2: what is your ceiling, how high can you go? And 1297 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,759 Speaker 2: the quarterbacks that were mentioned, brock to A, Jared Goff, 1298 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,760 Speaker 2: and Dak Prescott have all shown that as game managers 1299 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 2: and as system quarterbacks, they've all been able to, certainly, 1300 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 2: at least at times maybe not always, manage the game 1301 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 2: at a very high level and run the system at 1302 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 2: a high level. Of course, they're difference makers. If you 1303 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 2: help your team win, you're a difference maker. Define difference 1304 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,720 Speaker 2: maker cam. You want somebody to be able to run 1305 01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,760 Speaker 2: around like a whirling dervish, then watch Monty Python. Now 1306 01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,599 Speaker 2: I get it. There are times a quarterback may need 1307 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 2: to move his feet to keep a play alive. Take note, 1308 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 2: you still got to play the position with your eyes. 1309 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 2: If the defense is in man de mand, well, that 1310 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 2: could be a green light to run north and south 1311 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 2: since the defensive backs are facing away from you, except 1312 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 2: for the safety who's probably thirty yards away. If the 1313 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 2: defense is in a zone, you roll Laterally, you give 1314 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 2: your receivers a chance to sided just their routes get open, 1315 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 2: create a positive play. The truth of the matter is 1316 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:03,479 Speaker 2: it's mostly between the years. Simple as that. I don't 1317 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 2: care who you are when you come out. You know yes, 1318 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,639 Speaker 2: you got to be able to operate in the pocket 1319 01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 2: slide maneuver, but you've got to keep your eyes downfield. 1320 01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 2: The position of quarterbacks is demanding as any position in 1321 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,240 Speaker 2: the world. It's the thinnest position in all of sports. 1322 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 2: You got to combine intellectual ability. You got to adapt 1323 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,559 Speaker 2: in an incident instant excuse me. You got to have 1324 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 2: the physical attributes that you can evade large defenders who 1325 01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,719 Speaker 2: could all run fast. The games become basketball on turf. 1326 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 2: Everybody's a track star out there. Linebackers run like DB's 1327 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,800 Speaker 2: did twenty years ago. Defensive ends run like linebackers twenty 1328 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,720 Speaker 2: years ago. You got to have emotional stability. You got 1329 01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 2: to be a leader of men. What's interesting is that 1330 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 2: I'm not the only one that pushed back on Cam 1331 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 2: Newton on the show Get Up Kimer Lee Martin, she 1332 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,920 Speaker 2: came after Cam Newton as well. She said, quote in 1333 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,920 Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty three, where it's all about NFL backups, 1334 01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 2: where is Cam Kimberly Martin said, He's on an NFL roster, right, 1335 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,720 Speaker 2: so he's talking about all these NFL game managers. He 1336 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,720 Speaker 2: sounds like people literally tweeting at me from their basement like, 1337 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 2: get back in the kitchen. You're home watching me, just 1338 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 2: turned the TV off. It sounds so foolish. Now. Cam 1339 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 2: hasn't played since the twenty twenty one season. He only 1340 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 2: completed fifty four percent of his passes when he was 1341 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 2: with the Carolina Panthers, four touchdowns, five interceptions. He only 1342 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 2: threw for six hundred and eighty yards. Cam has not 1343 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 2: been a significant difference maker in six years. In twenty 1344 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 2: eighteen season, he threw for thirty four hundred yards twenty 1345 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 2: four tds against thirteen picks while he was in Carolina. 1346 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,200 Speaker 2: As far as the players he criticized, Cam might want 1347 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 2: to note this, each of those guys have their team 1348 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 2: in contention, certainly for the playoffs and possibly even the 1349 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,719 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. For my money, as long as brock Perty 1350 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 2: doesn't get hurt, the Niners are win of the Super Bowl, 1351 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 2: and he has a lot to do with it. You 1352 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 2: saw what happen when he went down. This ain't so 1353 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 2: easy playing quarterback and the National Football League is an 1354 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 2: absolute nightmare. You've got to have the physical makeup. But 1355 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,320 Speaker 2: by the way, if you don't think prock Party does, 1356 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 2: you've got a different agenda. You're not watching him he's 1357 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,920 Speaker 2: quicker than you think he is. He's got a better 1358 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 2: arm than you think he is. He worked on his 1359 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 2: velocity with Tom Howse. But he makes decisions. His ability 1360 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,839 Speaker 2: to recognize what he's seeing based on his pre snap 1361 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 2: reeds and his polls nap reeds, make the right decision 1362 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 2: and execute within two seconds is as well as good 1363 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 2: as I've seen. If he wasn't mister Irrelevant, I don't 1364 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,120 Speaker 2: think people would. I think he'd be getting a hell 1365 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,040 Speaker 2: of a lot more. He'd be getting more flowers. People 1366 01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 2: just waiting for him to fail after the great year 1367 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 2: he had last year. Well, I haven't seen enough. You're 1368 01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 2: never going to see enough because you're rooting for him 1369 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 2: to fail. You figure out why. Interestingly enough, if Trey 1370 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 2: Lance had been doing exactly what Rock Party's been doing, 1371 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:57,160 Speaker 2: he probably run for president, maybe even win. But you've 1372 01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,959 Speaker 2: not only got to have physical makeup, arm, talent, passing 1373 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 2: skills right, and all the intangibles. That's what sets apart 1374 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:11,519 Speaker 2: talented quarterbacks from great quarterbacks. Tangibles. It's the stuff you 1375 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,400 Speaker 2: can't coach, you can't teach. Steve Young once said, the 1376 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 2: most important thing the quarterback must have is the will 1377 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 2: to refuse to lose the ability to communicate with his 1378 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 2: teammates and have a situation where the quarterback will do 1379 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,759 Speaker 2: what it takes to win and carry the team. Now 1380 01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:35,720 Speaker 2: that part is what Cam Newton's talking about. Maybe you 1381 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 2: know being a difference maker. But an NFL game where 1382 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 2: you're gonna run eighty offensive plays that might only come 1383 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 2: down to four or five plays tops tops, and that 1384 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 2: that can decide whether you win or lose the game. 1385 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 2: But as you manage the game, you might throw one 1386 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 2: into the stands to live another day. Joe Namath had 1387 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 2: to learn that the hard way. You might want to 1388 01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 2: take the proverbial sack. Make a decision that allows your 1389 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 2: team to win. But making that decision, learning first to 1390 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,960 Speaker 2: read and recognize the nature and structure of what a 1391 01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,599 Speaker 2: defense is showing you as a whole is something very 1392 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,840 Speaker 2: few quarterbacks can do. And if you do that, you 1393 01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 2: are a great game manager and you are a great 1394 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 2: system quarterback. Because when the ball is snapped and the 1395 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 2: defense shifts post snap all of a sudden, there can 1396 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 2: be real confusion. What if the defense shows you a 1397 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 2: two safety look all of a sudden, in the middle 1398 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,679 Speaker 2: of the field is open, and now the ball, snap 1399 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,960 Speaker 2: and they move to a single safety. Now where's the man? 1400 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:34,720 Speaker 2: Is he in cover one? Is he in zone? Did 1401 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,800 Speaker 2: the corners give space? Do they bring pressure? Does the 1402 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:42,920 Speaker 2: front structure Chaine? This is what makes playing quarterback so complex. 1403 01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 2: Your computer brain has to be operating at warp speed. 1404 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,559 Speaker 2: When sixty thousand people are screaming, two million people are 1405 01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 2: watching on TV. Everything in the world is on the line. 1406 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 2: And the volume of information you have to absorb in 1407 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,720 Speaker 2: process before and after the snap that's gonna determine whether 1408 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,639 Speaker 2: or not you can repeat success At the NFL level. 1409 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:10,439 Speaker 2: Defensive coordinators are grown men. They're gonna make you think. 1410 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 2: They're gonna make you work. You gotta split decision to read, 1411 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,800 Speaker 2: make decisions and then execute based on what you are 1412 01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 2: looking at. You don't just take off and run like 1413 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 2: you did in college. They're gonna force you to stand 1414 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,640 Speaker 2: in the pocket and make complex throws to covered receivers. 1415 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 2: And if you want to take off and run and 1416 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 2: run into a linebacker, it's gonna happen to justin fields again. 1417 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 2: They're gonna knock them silly. So can With all due respect, 1418 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,599 Speaker 2: you got a right to share your opinion, but I'm 1419 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 2: not a fan of your opinion, because it's not a 1420 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,720 Speaker 2: swear word to be a game manager or a system quarterback, 1421 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,720 Speaker 2: because every quarterback has to operate in the system and 1422 01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 2: manage the game. Coming up, we got three NFL games Saturday. 1423 01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:59,040 Speaker 2: Let's talk about them. I'm Bernie Frattle keep it locked. 1424 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

Before 1431 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,839 Speaker 2: I get into Saturday's games, it's always kind of coolest 1432 01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 2: time of the year when you have that Saturday triple header. 1433 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 2: You know, you're just within days of Santa Claus coming 1434 01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 2: and we are in the holiday season. We'll have a tripleheader. 1435 01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,800 Speaker 2: It kicks off here nine hours. We'll dive into that. 1436 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 2: But again, in case you missed it or you were 1437 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:49,719 Speaker 2: under a rocker on Mars, Brandon Staley, who was already 1438 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,879 Speaker 2: on the hot seat as the Chargers head coach. Well, 1439 01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 2: his team got, as Kevin would say, molly locked by 1440 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 2: the Raiders Thursday night, sixty three to twenty one. And 1441 01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:06,360 Speaker 2: what's interesting is you hear that final score and truthfully, 1442 01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 2: it actually makes the game look closer than it really was. 1443 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 2: The Chargers didn't score to a third quarter. By that time, 1444 01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 2: they had already spotted the Raiders a forty nine to 1445 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 2: nothing lead. The next sea you know, it was sixty 1446 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 2: three to seven before the Chargers scored two completely meaningless 1447 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,880 Speaker 2: touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The thing to note score 1448 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 2: was forty two to nothing at halftime. And at that point, 1449 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,600 Speaker 2: if you don't think the Chargers were getting dominated, they 1450 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,799 Speaker 2: only ran twenty five offensive plays. They only had seventh 1451 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 2: series in the first half. They had a run up 1452 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 2: the middle to bleed out the clock on the final 1453 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 2: play of the first half, and they averaged three yards 1454 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,640 Speaker 2: checked that three plays per drive. Their punter got a 1455 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 2: lot of work, and they had four points. So by 1456 01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 2: the way, just for fun, three fumbles, including one on 1457 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,120 Speaker 2: special teams, and a turnover on downs. The Raiders only 1458 01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,160 Speaker 2: the third team in NFL history to shut out their 1459 01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,719 Speaker 2: opponent in the first half. While scoring at least forty 1460 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:04,320 Speaker 2: two points. Goodbye, Brandon day, have fun. This is probably 1461 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 2: a long time in coming. And now let the let 1462 01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,959 Speaker 2: the speculation begin. The names are flying right and left. 1463 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,679 Speaker 2: Will it be a big name like Belichick or Harbaugh, 1464 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,600 Speaker 2: Could it be the enemy? Could it be some of 1465 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:25,839 Speaker 2: the perhaps new Neuville reache offensive coordinators like Ben Johnson 1466 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 2: from Detroit or Frank Smith from Miami or Kellen Moore. 1467 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 2: I don't think any of those. I think the Chargers 1468 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 2: need to make a big splash. And if you heard 1469 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,080 Speaker 2: my interview with Steve Hartman the first hour, we kind 1470 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 2: of broke down the possibilities, and he is fairly adamant 1471 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 2: that the legal pressure the Chargers to hire Jim Harbaugh. 1472 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,759 Speaker 2: I know Harball's got a man crushed on Justin Herbert. 1473 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 2: And the only question would be with the Chargers, who 1474 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,760 Speaker 2: were notoriously they were paying Brandon Staley for million year. 1475 01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 2: I get it. That's Brandon Staley. They pay a Jim 1476 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 2: Harbaugh fifteen million a year. That's what I think it's 1477 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,360 Speaker 2: gonna take. So we'll see how that. We'll see how 1478 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,799 Speaker 2: that all hall shakes out in the in the coming days, 1479 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 2: in weeks, It's not an easy decision for the Spanos family. 1480 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 2: The only other time they have fired a coach mid 1481 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 2: season twenty five years ago Kevin Gilbride, and he was 1482 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 2: every bit the utter achiever that Brandon stately was. Only 1483 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,040 Speaker 2: lasted twenty two games and of course my everlasting and 1484 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 2: you'd probably find this on YouTube. There was a Monday 1485 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 2: night game, I think it was in nineteen ninety two 1486 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,280 Speaker 2: or ninety three, when Kevin Gilbride was I think the 1487 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 2: offensive coordinated for one of Buddy Ryan's teams, and Buddy 1488 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,080 Speaker 2: punched him in the jaw in the middle of the 1489 01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 2: game on the sideline. It was a beauty. Who do 1490 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 2: you think he is? Draymond Green.

The NFL Saturday 1496 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,840 Speaker 2: NFL I Love It Cincinnati Bengals will be hosting the 1497 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 2: visiting Minnesota Vikings laying three. Both teams are seven and six. 1498 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 2: Both teams have designs on getting to the playoffs. Both 1499 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 2: teams will be featuring backup quarterbacks. But hey, you know 1500 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 2: Jake Browning and this Bengals offense coming off back to 1501 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:32,679 Speaker 2: back wins, Well, they say styles bank fights. Well, they're 1502 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,800 Speaker 2: gonna have to contend one of the best defenses in 1503 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,919 Speaker 2: the league right now. This is a really good matchup. 1504 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 2: Over the past eight weeks, Brian Flores has done an 1505 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,599 Speaker 2: outstanding job with the Vikings defense. They lead the NFL 1506 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 2: and fewest points allowed per drive one point four, fewest 1507 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:55,000 Speaker 2: points a lot per game fifteen point three. Why because 1508 01:24:55,040 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 2: the Vikings get very stingy in the red zone. There 1509 01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 2: is a lot at stake for this game. This would 1510 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 2: be one of the biggest games in the act of 1511 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,799 Speaker 2: the weekend in my opinion, in terms of playoffs Wings 1512 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 2: because if you believe in the probabilities and analytics and 1513 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 2: all that, and that you know, two bucks will get 1514 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,719 Speaker 2: you a cup of coffee, Winchles. The Bengals can improve 1515 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:18,879 Speaker 2: to a thirty five percent chance to make the playoffs 1516 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,760 Speaker 2: if they win, but if they lose, the Bengals lose 1517 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,679 Speaker 2: their odds shrink to ten percent. Meanwhile, the Vikings. They're 1518 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 2: chasing a wild card spot. They're alive in the NFC 1519 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:32,000 Speaker 2: North race. Matter mathematically, but if the Vikings win, based 1520 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 2: on where they sit, they would have a seventy nine 1521 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 2: percent chance to make the playoffs and a twenty one 1522 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 2: percent chance to win the division. With the win, I 1523 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 2: think they still get to have to play the lines twice, 1524 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 2: but those numbers fall to a fifty one percent chance 1525 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,479 Speaker 2: to make the playoffs and only eight percent to win 1526 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,200 Speaker 2: the division if they lose. What do I think I think? 1527 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:53,639 Speaker 2: I think Cincinnati holds servant home. I do I think 1528 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 2: Jake Browning's you know, I know Chris Peterson raved to 1529 01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,519 Speaker 2: bottom when he had him at Washington. He's he's gonna 1530 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 2: be he. He's gonna face the defense. It's gonna try 1531 01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:04,920 Speaker 2: to confuse him. We'll see what happens. But lou Anarumo's 1532 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:08,000 Speaker 2: defense is no slouch either. And if you're telling me 1533 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 2: Nick Mallins is a major league quarterback, Yeah, Bill Lumberg, 1534 01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you. You 1535 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 2: can give you those TPS reports. I feel like Cincinnati 1536 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,800 Speaker 2: wins the game. It's one I think it's a one 1537 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,759 Speaker 2: score game. It feels like it feels like a twenty 1538 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 2: three to seventeen Tech game. For me, that is just 1539 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 2: my read. In three and a half hours later, you 1540 01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 2: have two other teams also at seven and six. I 1541 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:37,000 Speaker 2: guess it's going around. Huh Steelers. I don't know what 1542 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 2: the hell's gotten into them. They don't look like the 1543 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 2: Steelers anymore. They might be wearing the uniforms, but boy, 1544 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 2: the standard is not the standard right now in Pittsburgh. 1545 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 2: They don't look good. They visit the Indianapolis Colts, who 1546 01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 2: are also seven to six. Basically a Pickham game. This 1547 01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 2: Colts are laying one and a half now the Steelers, 1548 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 2: and this is one of those trends that doesn't correlate 1549 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:01,479 Speaker 2: to me. The Steelers have won eightsecutive games against the Colts, 1550 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 2: including regular season and postseason. It's a pretty impressive streak 1551 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,880 Speaker 2: that began back in twenty eleven the Colts. The last 1552 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,800 Speaker 2: time the Colts beat the Steelers was in twenty oh eight, 1553 01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 2: but they had Peyton Manning then and Mike Tomlin, who 1554 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 2: actually is was hired the year before. He's eight and 1555 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,080 Speaker 2: one against Indianapolis. He's never lost at Lucas Souel Stadium, 1556 01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:27,960 Speaker 2: but I don't know that that matters right now. What 1557 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:29,800 Speaker 2: kind of quarterback player you're going to get out of 1558 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,519 Speaker 2: the Colts. Maybe Gardner Mitchew comes up with one of 1559 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 2: his patented games, and I don't know. I guess Mitch Trubisky. 1560 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 2: You know, he had pretty good numbers in Chicago, no 1561 01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 2: one wants to admit that, but he does not looked 1562 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 2: good in Pittsburgh. You know, they fired Mack Canada. I 1563 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 2: don't think the offenses has changed again. The beauty of 1564 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 2: this game as similar to the first game I just 1565 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 2: talked about, of course, Vikings Bengals, is that this is 1566 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:02,599 Speaker 2: huge for the AFC Wildcat race. If Indianapolis can win 1567 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 2: this game, they improve their odds to sixty four percent 1568 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 2: chance in getting him to the playoffs. But then he 1569 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:12,600 Speaker 2: loses to Pittsburgh, that drops to twenty two percent. The Steelers. 1570 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 2: If they get a road win here Saturday forty eight percent, 1571 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 2: they get back on track to get to the playoffs. 1572 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 2: But another loss, they're down to ten percent to get 1573 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,719 Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and the Steelers would fall to seven and seven. 1574 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 2: This is a coin flip game. It's a coin flip game. 1575 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,680 Speaker 2: They could come down to the proverbial turnover, whatever the 1576 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,439 Speaker 2: case may be. I could see the Colts winning this 1577 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,479 Speaker 2: game by a touchdown. I could see the Steelers winning 1578 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 2: this game by a field goal. It's an absolute stay 1579 01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 2: away from me because you just don't know what you're 1580 01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,559 Speaker 2: gonna get, especially coming out of the Steelers. But it's 1581 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,719 Speaker 2: gonna have a playoff type field because for all intents 1582 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,560 Speaker 2: and purposes, it is a playoff game. But if I 1583 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,040 Speaker 2: don't only watch one game Saturday, it cracks me up 1584 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 2: how everybody's losing their mind about the Lions. Look, they've 1585 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,439 Speaker 2: won seventeen of their last twenty three games in the 1586 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,560 Speaker 2: last two years. They're nine to four. I get it. 1587 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 2: They scuffle recently, Clearly the defense has regressed. But worst 1588 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,280 Speaker 2: case scenario, worst case scenario, I think the Lions end 1589 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,599 Speaker 2: up ten and seven, eleven and six. They're gonna win 1590 01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 2: the division. They're gonna get one home playoff game. But 1591 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 2: you'd like to start to write the shift. They're a 1592 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 2: four point favorite, and this is a Saturday night game. 1593 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,679 Speaker 2: It'll be rocking at Ford Field. But you really got 1594 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:30,320 Speaker 2: to give Sean Payton a company massive credit for what 1595 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,280 Speaker 2: they have managed to do in turning that team around. 1596 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 2: This season. But back to the Lions. The Lions who 1597 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,920 Speaker 2: lost two other past three games. Meanwhile, the Broncos, they've 1598 01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,720 Speaker 2: won six of their past seven and they actually don't 1599 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 2: look now. But as long as Kansas City keeps losing. 1600 01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 2: And the Chargers, we've already talked about them and the Raiders, 1601 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 2: they're not going anywhere. They're playing for pride and they're 1602 01:29:55,840 --> 01:30:00,880 Speaker 2: giving a real effort under Antonio Pierce. The Broncos are 1603 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 2: theoretically not out of the AFC West title. They're not 1604 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 2: out of it. But this will also be a reunion 1605 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 2: of Dan Campbell and his mentor, Sean Payton, who's obviously 1606 01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 2: the coach of the Broncos. Now. Dan Campbell. People don't 1607 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 2: know this. They spent five He spent five seasons on 1608 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:21,760 Speaker 2: Sean Payton's staff as an assistant head coach tight ends 1609 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,680 Speaker 2: coach back from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty on the 1610 01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,640 Speaker 2: teams that Peyton coached. And obviously there's a lot of 1611 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 2: mutual respect betwo those two guys, and I think that 1612 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:38,439 Speaker 2: you know, they traded compliments this past week. And here's 1613 01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 2: what you got to watch the Broncos defense, and they've really, 1614 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,040 Speaker 2: they have really stepped up and gotten back to their 1615 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 2: form from twenty twenty two. They've gotten twenty sacks and 1616 01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 2: eighteen takeaways over the past seven games. You know they're 1617 01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 2: gonna come off after Jared Goff. They're gonna hit him 1618 01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:57,840 Speaker 2: like Rocky Bell, ball and Goff. You know, I liked 1619 01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 2: here at Goff, but he's been a bit of a 1620 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,120 Speaker 2: turnover machine. But again, what's at stake in this game? 1621 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:07,280 Speaker 2: Playoff stuff? Guys. If the Lions win, they'll have a 1622 01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:10,639 Speaker 2: ninety percent chance to be in the playoffs, still seventy 1623 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,479 Speaker 2: four percent chance if they lose, But they want to 1624 01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:16,840 Speaker 2: win that NFC North title. Check that both those percentages 1625 01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,240 Speaker 2: are having to do the NFC North. But the Broncos, 1626 01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:23,439 Speaker 2: if they steal a road win here, they're gonna be 1627 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:27,240 Speaker 2: making some real noise their odds. Their playoff odds would 1628 01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 2: jump to sixty five percent. Loss drops him und to 1629 01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,280 Speaker 2: thirty one percent. But the fact that we're mentioning the 1630 01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:41,719 Speaker 2: word Broncos playoffs after starting out one and four, well 1631 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,960 Speaker 2: you make your own headline there. What's the bottom line? 1632 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 2: The Lions are thirty one and sixteen against the number 1633 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 2: under Campbell. They very much I've been very good at home. 1634 01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,360 Speaker 2: You know, I expect Russell Wilson as receivers to have 1635 01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:00,719 Speaker 2: a good day, but I don't think they'll. The Lions 1636 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,799 Speaker 2: had genuine offensive firepower and they can score thirty points, 1637 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:05,479 Speaker 2: and I don't think the Broncos game, but I don't 1638 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 2: think either team is going to do that. This honestly 1639 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 2: feels like a twenty six to twenty game Lions. There's 1640 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 2: no way I can bet the Broncos in the spot, 1641 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,000 Speaker 2: but I'm not in a hurry to lay the four either. 1642 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,520 Speaker 2: So We've got three games that all have playoff implications, 1643 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:23,240 Speaker 2: all have teams with above five hundred records, and all 1644 01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:28,120 Speaker 2: have Markey coaches, quarterbacks, things that have been making headlines. 1645 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:32,800 Speaker 2: So I'm excited. I think Saturday NFL football in December 1646 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 2: again to sign Santa claus is not far off on 1647 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 2: the horizon, and the holidays are here, and I love 1648 01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:42,040 Speaker 2: Saturday football and the National Football League. When we get 1649 01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,920 Speaker 2: into December, we've only got four weeks left. Where they 1650 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,759 Speaker 2: are eighteen weeks now in the National Football League, seventeen games. 1651 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 2: This is Week fifteen. The season will terminate till the 1652 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,200 Speaker 2: weekend of January sixth, so we got a bit of 1653 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,800 Speaker 2: ways to go. There's no saying they always remember what 1654 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 2: you did in December, and you've got six teams that 1655 01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,799 Speaker 2: have a chance to leave their mark on Saturday. Speaking 1656 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 2: of leaving his mark, not only did sho heey Otani's 1657 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 2: seven hundred million dollar quarterback turn heads this past week, 1658 01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:14,640 Speaker 2: but the deferrals and the way the contract was structured 1659 01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 2: really turned heads. Coming out will make sense of the 1660 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:23,120 Speaker 2: Otani deferrals. I'm Bernie Fraddle or Company Live the Las 1661 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,760 Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarract dot Com Studios. Keep it 1662 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 2: locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show 1663 01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. Hi, We're back on the Bernie 1664 01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,840 Speaker 2: Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio. Come to live the TIRAC 1665 01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:39,760 Speaker 2: dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. So many headlines 1666 01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:44,519 Speaker 2: this past week, it was unreal. But perhaps and certainly 1667 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,639 Speaker 2: before the Gramon situation and some of the other Missu gots, 1668 01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 2: it wasn't just the Otani contract that made headlines seven 1669 01:33:54,479 --> 01:34:00,000 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars, It was the structure of the contract. Somehow. 1670 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,479 Speaker 2: While the seven hundred million dollar contract that Shoheyotani signed 1671 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,320 Speaker 2: ended up getting a lot more interesting when it was 1672 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 2: reported that Otani at his behest would defer a large 1673 01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 2: majority of his seventy million dollar annual salary. That's unpacked. 1674 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:26,200 Speaker 2: This yes, Otani not only agreed, he requested that he 1675 01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,800 Speaker 2: would take just a two million dollars salary per year 1676 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,920 Speaker 2: over the entire length of the ten year contract. After that, 1677 01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 2: the Dodgers will pay him sixty eight million per year 1678 01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:39,880 Speaker 2: with no interest to crewed on that amount for the 1679 01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:45,520 Speaker 2: remaining ten years. So it's really a twenty year contract 1680 01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 2: for seven one hundred million dollars. And by the way, 1681 01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:51,160 Speaker 2: you don't need to take up a collection plate for Hoyotani. 1682 01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,800 Speaker 2: According to Sportico, Otani made forty million dollars last year 1683 01:34:55,520 --> 01:35:01,599 Speaker 2: in endorsements and the next high player was Mike Trout 1684 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:05,200 Speaker 2: at five million. But it turns out to be a 1685 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 2: bit of a financial boon for the Dodgers, if there 1686 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 2: could be such a thing, because they save money threefold. First, immediately, 1687 01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:20,400 Speaker 2: they save sixty eight million dollars per year. That obviously 1688 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:24,479 Speaker 2: opens up a lot of payroll space to spend another players. 1689 01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:30,560 Speaker 2: Then there are the luxury tax savings because and I 1690 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,640 Speaker 2: don't know how they do this math. Not like I'm 1691 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 2: a high school dropout. I went to full six years. 1692 01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:38,640 Speaker 2: But how they arrived at this, They'll have to tell me. 1693 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 2: They've determined that Otani's official average annual value will be 1694 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:47,160 Speaker 2: forty six million. That's still twenty four million dollars less 1695 01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,919 Speaker 2: than the seventy million we thought he'd be making annually, 1696 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,120 Speaker 2: So of course that helps the bottom line for the Dodgers. 1697 01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,639 Speaker 2: It makes you wonder if any other executives might raise 1698 01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,040 Speaker 2: an issue with the whole thing. They can do it 1699 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 2: all day long. Nobody violated any rules. There's no limit 1700 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:04,639 Speaker 2: to the amount you want to defer. Most players don't 1701 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:08,320 Speaker 2: want to do this. It's obvious money today is worth 1702 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 2: more than money tomorrow. You're better off in your pocket. 1703 01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:13,479 Speaker 2: You've got use of it. By the way, long term, 1704 01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:18,639 Speaker 2: due to inflation, paying Shoho Tani sixty eight million, say 1705 01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:20,880 Speaker 2: in the year twenty forty three, which would be the 1706 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 2: final year of his contract, which will mean paying him 1707 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,160 Speaker 2: a lot less than sixty eight million, and twenty twenty 1708 01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:31,320 Speaker 2: four would have been so that is far down the road. 1709 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,680 Speaker 2: Twenty years feels like a long way away, but nonetheless 1710 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:39,280 Speaker 2: the math will checks, so for a Tani it may 1711 01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:42,599 Speaker 2: come out in the wash. Okay, yes, that sixty eight 1712 01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,919 Speaker 2: million per year will be worth less than a decade. 1713 01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:52,320 Speaker 2: But at that point, Shoho Tani can establish his residents anywhere, and, 1714 01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 2: according to the Associated Press, theoretically avoid California's higher tax rate. 1715 01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, and we have a lot of listeners 1716 01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:05,800 Speaker 2: five seventy AM in Los Angeles, we have listeners in 1717 01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:09,640 Speaker 2: San Francisco and around the state. I'm pretty sure that 1718 01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 2: the state withholding is thirteen percent. You can tweet at 1719 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,839 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong or right or whatever. Thirteen percent 1720 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,120 Speaker 2: of sixty eight million dollars. That's a tidy what little 1721 01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:23,320 Speaker 2: under nine million dollars a year that would go to 1722 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:27,840 Speaker 2: Uncle Sugar, the franchise tax board. Gavin News can give 1723 01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 2: all the speeches he wants. Is about how they're one 1724 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,040 Speaker 2: of the lower tax states. At least that's what I 1725 01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:37,800 Speaker 2: think I heard. Allegedly. Yeah, I'm not buying it, but regardless, again, 1726 01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:42,720 Speaker 2: I'm getting off track here. He can avoid a high 1727 01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,320 Speaker 2: tax rate in California if in fact he's no longer 1728 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 2: living in California after the end of the contract. He 1729 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:53,719 Speaker 2: starts collecting that sixty eight million in twenty thirty four. Now, 1730 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:58,880 Speaker 2: it's expected that Otani will also make about an estimated 1731 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars this year and in the future on 1732 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 2: endorsement deals that likely won't slow down anytime soon, so 1733 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,519 Speaker 2: it gives him plenty of flexibility to accept last now 1734 01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 2: and he made forty man last year. Matter of fact, 1735 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:17,639 Speaker 2: fanatics reported the other day Great Company that Otani they'd 1736 01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:20,040 Speaker 2: set a one day record for Otani Jersey sales, passing 1737 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:26,320 Speaker 2: up Messi's record earlier in the year. Now, these details 1738 01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,280 Speaker 2: were kind of sort of unreported last Saturday night when 1739 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 2: this contract, this historical contract with Otani was announced, and 1740 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,760 Speaker 2: it was suggested, to the best of our knowledge, it 1741 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:45,720 Speaker 2: was Shoeyotani himself during the negotiations that hit him with 1742 01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:49,720 Speaker 2: the seven hundred dollars figure and the deal got finalized, 1743 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:56,720 Speaker 2: and this unusual structure was also promoted and fostered by Shoeyotani, 1744 01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 2: and the idea again was intended to provide the Dodgers 1745 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:05,679 Speaker 2: additional cash flow PAYO flexibility and in the meantime Atani 1746 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:08,639 Speaker 2: will continue to bring in the big dollars elsewhere from 1747 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:15,639 Speaker 2: endorsements and off field venues. Look, Otani may make fifty 1748 01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:19,320 Speaker 2: million per year away from the Diamond, but the deferrals 1749 01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:24,519 Speaker 2: again also give the Dodgers the extra freedom to navigate. Again, 1750 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,720 Speaker 2: I'm repeating myself, it's a very competitive balanced tax or 1751 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:32,040 Speaker 2: luxury tax. For CBT purposes, the average value will be 1752 01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 2: forty six million. Now, the forty six million and average 1753 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,559 Speaker 2: annual value is still the highest in Major League history. 1754 01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,559 Speaker 2: That top the forty three point three million dollars average 1755 01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,760 Speaker 2: that Max Schurzer got when he got a three year 1756 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:45,519 Speaker 2: deal with the Mets back in twenty twenty one. I 1757 01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:47,599 Speaker 2: think Mike Trout was up in that neighborhood as well. 1758 01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:53,720 Speaker 2: And again, to be clear, Baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement makes 1759 01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:57,080 Speaker 2: it clear there is no limit on how much salary 1760 01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:00,200 Speaker 2: a player and a team can agree to. Defer people 1761 01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,200 Speaker 2: don't want to do this. The CBA also includes a 1762 01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:07,759 Speaker 2: net present value schoculation for luxury tax purposes. And apparently 1763 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,880 Speaker 2: that's how they estimated the value of Otani's contract on 1764 01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:15,439 Speaker 2: a season by season basis. That's how they calculated the 1765 01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 2: forty six million dollars figure that will be used. So 1766 01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:23,320 Speaker 2: for the ten years that Otani, assuming he'll be there 1767 01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:26,479 Speaker 2: the full ten years, intends to play for the Dodgers, 1768 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,200 Speaker 2: his deal could be thought of as being worth forty 1769 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,920 Speaker 2: six million dollars on average put over the full twenty 1770 01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,280 Speaker 2: year lifespan of the deal, including the following ten years 1771 01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:38,160 Speaker 2: when the deferrals are paid out. That's when Otani is 1772 01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:41,320 Speaker 2: no longer under contract with the team. That's when he 1773 01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:45,559 Speaker 2: makes his total seven hundred million dollars. So simple, the 1774 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,800 Speaker 2: payments two ten year periods. Otani makes two million a 1775 01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,680 Speaker 2: year from twenty twenty four to twenty thirty three, from 1776 01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:54,160 Speaker 2: sixty eight million a year from twenty thirty four to 1777 01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:57,720 Speaker 2: twenty forty three. Coming up Saturday night, I'm going to 1778 01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:01,120 Speaker 2: share some key dates on the Otani calendar. Every single 1779 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,000 Speaker 2: one of his games will be televised from Japan.

By the way that 1812 01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,840 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson does look good in Nick's uniform. All right, 1813 01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,960 Speaker 2: this time every week. A sport that never sleeps. And 1814 01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:40,400 Speaker 2: as part of his update, we will compare Otani's contract 1815 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,960 Speaker 2: is something in the world of soccer, and so therefore 1816 01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,000 Speaker 2: it is time Chris Burffett's World of Soccer. 1817 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:55,320 Speaker 1: The greatest schools, the thrilling finishes. 1818 01:42:56,479 --> 01:43:04,960 Speaker 5: The international drum, and it's all here in this report 1819 01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:06,599 Speaker 5: from the world of Soccer. 1820 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,160 Speaker 7: Strange tales, Bernie, as we move into the winter time here, 1821 01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:14,559 Speaker 7: but soccer never really sleeps around the world. First bit 1822 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:16,839 Speaker 7: of news, take care of the United States and Mexico 1823 01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,639 Speaker 7: have submitted a joint bid to host the twenty twenty 1824 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 7: seven Women's World Cup, following in the pattern of the 1825 01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 7: twenty twenty six Men's World Cup here, which is seeing 1826 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 7: the bids split between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, 1827 01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:35,120 Speaker 7: making it a true North American World Cup. It's a 1828 01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:38,080 Speaker 7: fascinating move and I think it's one that we might 1829 01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:42,000 Speaker 7: see more and more throughout the progressions of these bids 1830 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 7: of the World Cup. I think the United States has 1831 01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:47,000 Speaker 7: the power to host it by themselves, but having other 1832 01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:51,600 Speaker 7: federations involved, including a place like Mexico City and some 1833 01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:54,760 Speaker 7: of the great other Mexican cities where Lega MX stadiums 1834 01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 7: are located, can only help to improve the power of 1835 01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:01,080 Speaker 7: your bid when dealing with other hosts. Speaking of the 1836 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,880 Speaker 7: United States, there was good news on the men's side 1837 01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:08,760 Speaker 7: as the draw came for the Copa America twenty twenty four. Now, 1838 01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 7: Copa America, as we've explained for on this program, has 1839 01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:16,600 Speaker 7: been the pre eminent tournament, usually of South America nations 1840 01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:20,920 Speaker 7: in FIFA, which is important because only two regions in 1841 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 7: FIFA have won a World Cup, South America represented by 1842 01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 7: their Federation of Commable and Europe with UEFA. Thus, in 1843 01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:34,400 Speaker 7: the two years in between the World Cups, attention has 1844 01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 7: turned to Copa America and to UEFA's euro Championship. This year, 1845 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:42,880 Speaker 7: the COPA has expanded. It now includes some of the 1846 01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:47,000 Speaker 7: top nations from CONCACAF, the North American region, which includes 1847 01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,679 Speaker 7: the United States, and so the United States was included 1848 01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,519 Speaker 7: in the Copa America draw. United States, of course, also 1849 01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:55,599 Speaker 7: being the host of this year's Copa America, which is 1850 01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 7: fantastic for a lot of reasons. On Thursday, they found 1851 01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:00,960 Speaker 7: out who they will be pl playing as they were 1852 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:06,240 Speaker 7: placed in Group C with Uruguay, Panama, and Bolivia. Mexico 1853 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:10,320 Speaker 7: meanwhile got Ecuador, Venezuela and Jamaica in Group B. 1854 01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 1: This is a bit fascinating right now. 1855 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,720 Speaker 7: The United States sits about the same rank and just 1856 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,679 Speaker 7: behind Uruguay in the FIFA Men's rankings. It is a 1857 01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:24,400 Speaker 7: fantastic showdown, but it's all It's going to ultimately be 1858 01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 7: a very tough one and there are questions as to 1859 01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:31,559 Speaker 7: the US men's team really realistically win Group C at 1860 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,559 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty four Copa America. The United States is 1861 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:38,599 Speaker 7: stacked top to bottom, really, but Uruguay has always been 1862 01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:42,920 Speaker 7: a TA nation that is very hard to defeat, and 1863 01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,560 Speaker 7: the United States is going to have to start with Bolivia. 1864 01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:48,559 Speaker 7: And if the US can't be Bolivia, then there seems 1865 01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 7: to be some problems going on there now. Panama, the 1866 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:55,200 Speaker 7: United States is familiar with coming from conky calf, But 1867 01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 7: ultimately it's going to come down to the match against Uruguay, 1868 01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,400 Speaker 7: which is going to be one of the last ones 1869 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:05,000 Speaker 7: in that group. But we haven't talked much about the 1870 01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:09,439 Speaker 7: Premier League in the past few weeks, and something odd 1871 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,439 Speaker 7: has happened at the top of the table since we 1872 01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:15,599 Speaker 7: last looked. Manchester City has fallen to fourth, falling behind 1873 01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:20,160 Speaker 7: aston Villa this past weekend in a one nil game, 1874 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:25,760 Speaker 7: and I am confused. I am very confused as to 1875 01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,519 Speaker 7: how one of the great clubs, how a team that 1876 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:32,639 Speaker 7: won a historic trouble last year now finds itself coming 1877 01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 7: into this weekend six points back behind Arsenal, with Arsenal 1878 01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:41,000 Speaker 7: and Liverpool being the ones fighting right now as we 1879 01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 7: start to write the final chapters on the opening half 1880 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:49,519 Speaker 7: of the Premier League. It's something that we don't usually see. 1881 01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,720 Speaker 7: Manchester City sitting in the back trying to come back 1882 01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:56,879 Speaker 7: from it, looking sluggish, looking lost at times, getting defeated 1883 01:46:56,920 --> 01:47:01,800 Speaker 7: on set pieces. Their lost to Austin Villa comes after 1884 01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:05,680 Speaker 7: three straight draws in the Premier League. Now, some of 1885 01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:07,960 Speaker 7: this can be chalked up to injuries, and it's the 1886 01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:11,759 Speaker 7: type of injuries that really matter. But I think Manchester 1887 01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,200 Speaker 7: City's problems can also be tracked back to one of 1888 01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:18,639 Speaker 7: the oldest problems for many clubs out there, the midfield. Yes, 1889 01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:22,040 Speaker 7: once again a club has neglected some of their midfield, 1890 01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,200 Speaker 7: a lot of their signings here this past couple of 1891 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,640 Speaker 7: seasons have just not endeared them to replace pieces that 1892 01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:32,720 Speaker 7: they lost in their midfield and has left them with questions. 1893 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,879 Speaker 7: And those questions will continue here as Manchester City prepares 1894 01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,680 Speaker 7: to take on Luttontown here on Sunday. Now, you might 1895 01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:43,600 Speaker 7: be thinking to yourself, Wow, Lutton Town, that seems like 1896 01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:46,800 Speaker 7: easy baking right there. That's a club with only nine 1897 01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,280 Speaker 7: points to their name. They sit in the relegation zone currently, 1898 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:54,439 Speaker 7: they have only two wins. Sure, but Lutontown is a 1899 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,519 Speaker 7: club with a lot of heart and fire behind them 1900 01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:01,680 Speaker 7: right now. With those wins come two straight out of 1901 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:06,000 Speaker 7: the last three and then a narrow, agonizing defeat four 1902 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:10,120 Speaker 7: to three to Arsenal at home. If on the chance 1903 01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,800 Speaker 7: that Luton Town can pull off the impossible, it would 1904 01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:14,439 Speaker 7: be something for the ages to see. 1905 01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:14,880 Speaker 1: Either way. 1906 01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:18,439 Speaker 7: Manchester City sitting at the back of the pack here, 1907 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,479 Speaker 7: still in contention for Champions League qualification obviously, and of 1908 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,559 Speaker 7: course playing in the knockout rounds of this season's Champions League, 1909 01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:30,000 Speaker 7: not exactly a sympathetic figure. Nevertheless, it's always shocking to 1910 01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,320 Speaker 7: see such a heavyweight lose its lead like this in 1911 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,800 Speaker 7: the season. But we've also seen Manchester City turn this 1912 01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:40,040 Speaker 7: around mid season and Earling Holland their star young player 1913 01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 7: needs to really settle in and I think he will 1914 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:44,960 Speaker 7: do it, but right now he's having games in his 1915 01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,479 Speaker 7: own heads, spending too much time yelling at it official 1916 01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 7: after a hot Spur draw when the referee wouldn't want 1917 01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:55,160 Speaker 7: to give him an advantage from his pass to Greenalish 1918 01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:58,840 Speaker 7: late in the game. But as problems go for Manchester City, 1919 01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:02,919 Speaker 7: they still pale to the problems suffered by Manchester United, 1920 01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:07,799 Speaker 7: their crosstown rivals, as they have fallen into the sixth spot, 1921 01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:11,840 Speaker 7: tied with Tottenham Hotsper coming into this weekend and have 1922 01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:17,040 Speaker 7: been struggling to really get their star Marcus Rashford, who 1923 01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,400 Speaker 7: is no longer starting for the team but has said 1924 01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:23,160 Speaker 7: coming off the bench, and there seems to be some 1925 01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:27,679 Speaker 7: trouble brewing with him and manager Eric ten Hogg. I'm 1926 01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,479 Speaker 7: not sure why Marcus Rasher would ever be taken out 1927 01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:33,240 Speaker 7: of the starting lineup when the greats and really the 1928 01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:36,759 Speaker 7: face of Manchester United. And this isn't even the first 1929 01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:39,720 Speaker 7: time that Eric ten Hogg is really beefing with a 1930 01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:44,000 Speaker 7: player right now. We also have the Jaden Sancho question 1931 01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:46,920 Speaker 7: that still remains to be seen if ten Hog is 1932 01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:49,439 Speaker 7: even going to let him have any kind of comeback 1933 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:53,120 Speaker 7: with this squad. But nevertheless, this seems to be the 1934 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,599 Speaker 7: fate of Manchester United right now, a club mired always 1935 01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,800 Speaker 7: and always in controversy and nonsense. That seems to be 1936 01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,320 Speaker 7: one of the staples of Manchester United. The other happens 1937 01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:06,800 Speaker 7: to be an eternally ongoing question about whether the Glazers 1938 01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,080 Speaker 7: will sell and for how much. Twenty five percent of 1939 01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:14,120 Speaker 7: the club was now bought by English billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, 1940 01:50:14,160 --> 01:50:19,519 Speaker 7: but the absolutely unpopular in England Glazer families remains in 1941 01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:23,360 Speaker 7: full control of the club at this time.

Is when we started this feature about eighteen 1949 01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:45,519 Speaker 2: months ago, heading into the Men's World Cup, which was 1950 01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,960 Speaker 2: taking place a year ago now and then of course, 1951 01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,280 Speaker 2: the Women's World Cup last summer. We're just months away 1952 01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:55,080 Speaker 2: now from the twenty twenty four Olympics Summer Olympics in France, 1953 01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:58,000 Speaker 2: so there'll be plenty more repartage and it will certainly 1954 01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,439 Speaker 2: pick up two a crescendo. Well, none of the three 1955 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:05,680 Speaker 2: Saturday NFL games will be played in exotic locations. Well 1956 01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:09,400 Speaker 2: maybe Detroit's exotic. But if you like the global presence 1957 01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 2: that the NFL is advancing towards, you're gonna like this 1958 01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:17,720 Speaker 2: report coming up.

And you want to hear my 1974 01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:16,439 Speaker 2: comments as I respond to Cam Newton, it's not a 1975 01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:21,440 Speaker 2: swear word to be a game manager or a system quarterback. 1976 01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:27,600 Speaker 2: I explain why it's silliness. Okay, Before I dive into 1977 01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:32,280 Speaker 2: how the NFL will expand their global presence to even 1978 01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:36,280 Speaker 2: greater stretch, I have a tweet from a gentleman who 1979 01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:39,240 Speaker 2: listens to the show. Brian Lacary says, great show is 1980 01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:41,840 Speaker 2: always burning, long shot, but wondering if you could wish 1981 01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,519 Speaker 2: my wife. I'll come back to that in a second. 1982 01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:47,400 Speaker 2: I guess she's going to have a surprise dinner. Well 1983 01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,400 Speaker 2: it may not be a surprised now she's listening, but 1984 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:53,920 Speaker 2: thanks for the compliment. Best overnight, chewing the business. A 1985 01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:58,840 Speaker 2: shout out to his wife, Wrenn Lacari. She'll be celebrating 1986 01:52:58,880 --> 01:53:02,560 Speaker 2: her fortieth birthday. So from the Bernie Frattles Show of 1987 01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:04,760 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and our entire crew. Shout out to 1988 01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:10,439 Speaker 2: Ren Lacari celebrating you are your fortieth birthday and have 1989 01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:14,479 Speaker 2: a good time, and Brian appreciates you. Listening to the 1990 01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:20,480 Speaker 2: show all right now. I happen to love the international 1991 01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:22,920 Speaker 2: games that the NFL plays. They played five games this 1992 01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:26,720 Speaker 2: last fall, three in London, two and Frankfurt, and now 1993 01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:30,600 Speaker 2: they're exploring the possibility of playing future games in Madrid 1994 01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:34,600 Speaker 2: and Sal Paula, Brazil, and I think they're looking at 1995 01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 2: France and oh, by the way, they will eventually return 1996 01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:43,040 Speaker 2: to Mexico City. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made multiple 1997 01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:47,200 Speaker 2: comments about expanding in Europe, and he even hinted at 1998 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,479 Speaker 2: playing a Super Bowl in London. Don't do that, that's stupid. 1999 01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:54,640 Speaker 2: And also, don't even think about putting an NFL franchise 2000 01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:59,280 Speaker 2: anywhere other than American soil. Maybe Canada, maybe, but not 2001 01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:06,600 Speaker 2: forget London. No, don't stupid. There are many logistical inconsistencies 2002 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:12,280 Speaker 2: and competitive disadvantages that would create. But I would like 2003 01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:16,840 Speaker 2: to see Maybe I'm a slappy, I would like to 2004 01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:20,920 Speaker 2: see an international game every week. You could create a 2005 01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:24,000 Speaker 2: second bye week, you extend the NFL season, and every 2006 01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:27,360 Speaker 2: one of the thirty two teams in the National Football 2007 01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:31,120 Speaker 2: League should have to play a game overseas every year. 2008 01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:33,320 Speaker 2: You want to really grow this brand. People love these, 2009 01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:36,280 Speaker 2: they love these, They stay after the game, they sing 2010 01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:39,600 Speaker 2: Neil Diamond songs. The years I covered the Lions, they 2011 01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:43,840 Speaker 2: wonderful junkets for the fans. But you gotta crawl before 2012 01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:47,400 Speaker 2: you walk and walk before you run. So this past 2013 01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,960 Speaker 2: year the NFL, obviously they made a strong push. They 2014 01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:54,720 Speaker 2: did expand their international footprint. And this coming week Wednesday 2015 01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:57,960 Speaker 2: is pivotal because the team owners are convening. They're gonna 2016 01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:01,080 Speaker 2: meet Irving, Texas on Tuesday and Wednesday for a special 2017 01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:03,360 Speaker 2: league meeting. What are they gonna do well? According to 2018 01:55:03,360 --> 01:55:07,480 Speaker 2: Front Office Sports, the agenda includes a vote that I 2019 01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:11,000 Speaker 2: expect them to take on Wednesday that will require all 2020 01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:15,040 Speaker 2: thirty two clubs to play at least one designated home 2021 01:55:15,080 --> 01:55:19,960 Speaker 2: game outside the United States every four years. Right now, 2022 01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:23,560 Speaker 2: teams are required to do so, but only once every 2023 01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:27,040 Speaker 2: eight years. I say do it every year and create 2024 01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:32,960 Speaker 2: a second bye week. It'll work. It'll work. Now the 2025 01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:35,720 Speaker 2: NFL again, they as I just said, they played five 2026 01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:38,440 Speaker 2: international games as pass Fall three in London to win 2027 01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:42,160 Speaker 2: Frankfurt I think in the future you're gonna see Madrid 2028 01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:45,240 Speaker 2: Spain sell Paul of Brazil back to Mexico City, maybe 2029 01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:49,480 Speaker 2: even Paris. Now, Peter King has already basically said this 2030 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:52,360 Speaker 2: new international measure that they're gonna vote on will be 2031 01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,400 Speaker 2: easily approved, and that would allow the NFL to start 2032 01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:59,560 Speaker 2: playing the nine Games abroad as soon as twenty twenty five, 2033 01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,160 Speaker 2: and I get it. Currently, the games in Europe are 2034 01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:06,480 Speaker 2: typically broadcast at nine thirty am Eastern Time, mostly on 2035 01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:10,560 Speaker 2: the NFL network six thirty am here on the Left 2036 01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:14,960 Speaker 2: Coast where I live Pacific time zone in Las Vegas. 2037 01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,800 Speaker 2: And when you create a larger slate of games, you 2038 01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:22,280 Speaker 2: could start to sell these broadcasts in their own package, 2039 01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:24,560 Speaker 2: again more revenue. Roger Goodello has stated he wants the 2040 01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,520 Speaker 2: NFL to be a twenty five billion dollar league, and 2041 01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:29,440 Speaker 2: they're on their way there. This will help him do that. 2042 01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:32,800 Speaker 2: So I expect this to pass. I expect you to 2043 01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:36,200 Speaker 2: see more international games. Do me a favor, though, don't 2044 01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:41,000 Speaker 2: do don't ever put a franchise abroad. That is the 2045 01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,400 Speaker 2: dumbest thing I've heard since Pineapple on pizza. And if 2046 01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 2: you put pineapple on pizza, God bless you. Why would 2047 01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:50,920 Speaker 2: you do that? But that's your business. What I also 2048 01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,480 Speaker 2: don't want to see and this has else have been 2049 01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:56,400 Speaker 2: talked about, or maybe you know, Roger Goodell's just joking 2050 01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:59,680 Speaker 2: around because he's such a jokester. The biggest game in 2051 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,960 Speaker 2: America and football, they call it the Super Bowl, could 2052 01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:06,640 Speaker 2: also possibly be held on foreign soil. The NFL will 2053 01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:09,040 Speaker 2: reportedly discussed the idea of playing a Super Bowl in London. 2054 01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:11,560 Speaker 2: I don't want you to do that. Fashion then you 2055 01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:16,600 Speaker 2: can say bangers and mash, scotch eggs and what else 2056 01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:20,120 Speaker 2: they eat over there, fish and chips, the English breakfast 2057 01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:25,440 Speaker 2: beans on toast. No, don't do it, don't please stop. 2058 01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:28,280 Speaker 2: I know it's not gonna happen anytime soon. They're saying 2059 01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:32,840 Speaker 2: it's a possibility. Okay, that means nothing but the lead. 2060 01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:37,360 Speaker 2: We know they've expanded, as I just mentioned. But to 2061 01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:41,640 Speaker 2: put the Super Bowl in London would create so many 2062 01:57:41,680 --> 01:57:45,680 Speaker 2: new logistical questions, most notably the time difference. What time 2063 01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:47,280 Speaker 2: you're gonna play the dam game. You can't play it 2064 01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:49,160 Speaker 2: at nine thirty in the morning on the East Coast, 2065 01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:53,360 Speaker 2: which would be two thirty in the afternoon in London, 2066 01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:55,440 Speaker 2: So what time are you gonna do. Kick the game 2067 01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:58,560 Speaker 2: off at the super Bowl normally starts in five thirty 2068 01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:00,240 Speaker 2: Eastern time, so what are you gonna do? Play the 2069 01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:03,720 Speaker 2: game at midnight in London. Fortunately, the next three Super 2070 01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:07,200 Speaker 2: Bowl sites are already confirmed. You'll be here at the 2071 01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:11,520 Speaker 2: Legion Stadium in Vegas coming up in February. It'll be 2072 01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:17,000 Speaker 2: at Caesar's Superdome in February twenty twenty five, and then 2073 01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:19,880 Speaker 2: of course Levi Stadium in Santa Clara in February twenty 2074 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,400 Speaker 2: twenty six, which means this soup the soon as it 2075 01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:25,480 Speaker 2: could possibly happen, would be in London Bowl London super 2076 01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:29,120 Speaker 2: Bowl in February twenty twenty seven. Don't do it. Dumbest 2077 01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:32,040 Speaker 2: thing I've ever heard since Pineapple on pizza. I don't 2078 01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:34,200 Speaker 2: mean to insult anybody that likes pineapple on pizza, but 2079 01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:36,520 Speaker 2: you take pineapple, which tastes good, and put it with 2080 01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:39,320 Speaker 2: a pizza. You take two good tastes, put them together 2081 01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,960 Speaker 2: and screws everything up. It's like catch about a hot dog. 2082 01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:44,520 Speaker 2: That's a story for a different day. Please don't do that. 2083 01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,040 Speaker 2: Please don't hold a Super Bowl in London, and please 2084 01:58:47,040 --> 01:58:49,840 Speaker 2: don't make an NFL team franchise have to live in 2085 01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:52,640 Speaker 2: London or anywhere else outside of the US. It's gonna 2086 01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:54,440 Speaker 2: do it for the Bernie Frider Show. See US Saturday 2087 01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:57,160 Speaker 2: night at eleven. Keep it locked up. Next the Fellas,
