Speaker 2: we take you all the way up until noon Eastern

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: time or excuse me, at three o'clock Eastern time noon

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Pacific here on FSR. So we open up the show

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: talking about the feel good moment in Los Angeles with

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw getting strikeout three thousand and then the reality

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: of waking up and realizing you're also probably a Laker fan,

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 2: which sucks, but again, you know, is what it is.

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: That being said, we now turn over to somebody else

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: in the world of football who knows a thing or

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: two about dysfunction. That would be none other than Nebraska

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: head coach Matt Ruhle, your former teammate at at Penn State.

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: Lebar you guys are amen, Yeah, you guys are real

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: nice to him.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: In practice. I'm sure we had a good time with Matt.

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: Matt was a special teams guy. He was a special

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: situations person. Yeah, it's super super intelligent football player. Again,

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: I credit him with a lot of things that I

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: learned as a freshman. How you know, I knew how

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: to study film to a certain degree. I knew how

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: to take notes to a certain degree. In high school,

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: I had a pretty good, good program I had came from.

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: But when I got to college, I realized very quickly

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: how much of the educational part of football was involved

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: in terms of the studying, being able to know what

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: to look for, you know, being able to break down

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: what it is that the offense is doing and how

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: you need to apply that to you and your information

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: and your notes. Matt, Matt Ruhle did an excellent job

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: of sitting with me and us learning that. You know,

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: my freshman year there was his last year there, but

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: it turns out it translated into him being a really,

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: really fine football coach as well through through the years.

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: So he was talking with Greg McElroy on the Always

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: College Football podcast and he says that the experience in

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: the NFL probably makes him more ready for what the

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: new experience of college football is like.

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: I think the biggest certain thing you learn when you're

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: in the NFL is really evaluation, you know, like the

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: four collegeable So yeah, I think he's the player's offer

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 4: was taken.

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: You get the NFL.

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: It's all they're all good players, you know, it's just

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: a what's the financial value were put on this person

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: and put on this position? And you're in the NFL

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: a good free agency and the NBC teams walking away

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: from the lead players because of their contract situation.

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: So that was Matt Rule talking about the contractual similarities

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden between the NFL and college football,

56
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: and it is it does I do wonder if him

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: having that time there in the league makes him more

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: ready for it from that standpoint to where it's now

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: not just your typical well do you want to go recruiting?

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Now the money aspect being brought into it maybe makes

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: those conversations and how he evaluates players and what they

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: can and can't do, Maybe it makes that a little

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: bit more I guess a little bit more accustomed to him,

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: just based on that time he had in Carolina in

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: the NFL.

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I would assume that that would be the

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 3: reason why Bill Belichick went to North Carolina. Is that

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: we are stepping into a brave new world of what

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: the NFL represents. I mean, excuse me, what college football represents.

70
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: And you do have to figure out what the value

71
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: is on the position, you know, on the skill level,

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: on the influence. There are a lot of elements that

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: are now in play. I would say it's it's probably

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: a little bit more complex and a little bit more

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: complicated than just looking at it from the scope of

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: what happens in the NFL. Other than you having to

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: figure out how much to pay and evaluating based off

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: of what the pay would be versus evaluating if I

79
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: want to give this guy a scholarship, if we want

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: him to play on the field as a starter in

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: one of the offensive or defensive groups versus special teams.

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: It's just very different. I think the reason why it

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: would be more complex, Jonas is from the standpoint of

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: the transfer portal is what really to me makes it

85
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: very interesting. We just had the conversation too long ago,

86
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: not too long ago, about the suing. Now we have

87
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: one university sue another university based upon taking what is

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: in Miami took a player from Wisconsin. Wisconsin, Okay, they

89
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: felt like the player owed them whatever it is he

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: owed them based off of the contract that he signed.

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: So until elements like that get cleared up, where the

92
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: legalities of what's taking place at the college level and

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: how that works and who you're you know, I guess

94
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: basically who your rights belong to. Now, yes, you do

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: have an advantage over most likely college coaches because they

96
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: don't understand most likely you know, salary caps and free

97
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: agency and how that all works. But there's still a

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 3: learning curve that's there because of the lack of structure

99
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: and the lack of established rules on what the engagements are.

100
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: What's a do, what's a don't? You know, what's breaking

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: the rule, what isn't. There is a lot of gray

102
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: area that still exists at the college level, and I

103
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: think that it makes it very difficult for coaches and

104
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 3: administrators like athletic directors. You know, you're talking about twenty

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: million dollars I believe that they get yearly. But that's

106
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: for all sports. It's not just for one sport. So

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: now you got to figure out a salary cap, but

108
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: you got to figure out what that salary cap represents

109
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: for all of your sports. I think Pence has like

110
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: something like eight hundred plus student athletes in their school.

111
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: So there's a lot that has to be figured out.

112
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 3: But now you start to break it down by sport,

113
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: and obviously you're hiring gms, you're hiring head of staffs

114
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: that are now you're now structuring the football programs more

115
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: like proteins. And I would say that's probably where Matt

116
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Rule is probably talking about, outside of just evaluation, having

117
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: maybe somewhat of an advantage in terms of how he

118
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: runs its team.

119
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: And I would also say, based on his time in

120
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: the NFL with Carolina, at least he's got a pretty

121
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: good example of how not to do things because that

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: place was a complete clown show. And what he went

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: through at Carolina or where he David Tepper brings him in,

124
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: there was some interest from the Giants. Matt Ruhle gets

125
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: a seven year deal from the Panthers. Then all of

126
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, all the conversations, the whispers start to start

127
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: up that David Tepper is getting involved, he's meddling into

128
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: things he's want to And Matt Rule even said before

129
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: the season before he was fired, Listen, I signed a

130
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: seven year deal. I was told by David Tepp basically

131
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: put David Tepper on blasts like, hey, I was told

132
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: by the owner that I'm going to be given a

133
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: significant amount of time to get this thing sorted out.

134
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm working with that understanding going into all this, and then,

135
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, however long it was later than he was gone.

136
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: I wonder if Matt Ruhle goes back to college with

137
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: a better understanding of the salary cap, the structure, but

138
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: also a better understanding of whatever I do. I don't

139
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: want it to turn into what I came from in

140
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: the NFL, like he's got he's got to be. I

141
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: would imagine he draws from that experience of exhibit A,

142
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: how things could go sideways if you let it get

143
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: out of control above you.

144
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's interesting point to that is is

145
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: that when it's the pros, people have no problem doing

146
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: coverage and scrutinizing the dysfunction of ownership or of the

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: front office. It almost seems as though that's what's going

148
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: to eventually take shape and take hold at the college level.

149
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: Probably you've never really heard like all the dysfunction of

150
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: the president of the university, ad of the university, or

151
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 3: all those different things. So you'd have to assume, and

152
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: this brave new world of nil and how things are

153
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: being handled at the college level, that if you're dealing

154
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: with a dysfunctional organization university front office, ads, administrators, whatever

155
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: it may be, if you're dealing with that type of dysfunction,

156
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: I wonder will that become prevalent and will that create

157
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: more pressure on the universities and how they're not only

158
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: hiring their athletic directors, but ultimately how they're hiring the

159
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: presidents and the people that administratively are running the school.

160
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: It's also it's almost like now that money's involved, uh, oh,

161
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: open season on everybody. Oh like that now now that

162
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: we know that people are getting paid, players admitted, Now

163
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: that we know all of that, everybody's going to be

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: held to the same standard that you've seen from a

165
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: professional level.

166
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: You could play that this is an academic institution game.

167
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: All you want, you're gonna find your academic institution as

168
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: out on the street looking for a job. You got

169
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: to figure it out because that is that has been

170
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 3: the cash cow for these universities for many, many moons.

171
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: And if you mess that up now because you don't

172
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: you know, it's always been really easy to minimize. Even

173
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 3: like when I play for Joe Paterno, Joe minimized athletics.

174
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: He minimized athletes because it was more about being a student.

175
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: It was more about education. It's like, who cares. We

176
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: play the game, we win the game, we lose the game.

177
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: But they got class on Monday.

178
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: They got to turn in their their their papers.

179
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,479
Speaker 3: They gotta get good grades. Like it was always about academics.

180
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: You use.

181
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: Made a mistake. Okay, hey, hey, I'll.

182
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: Put you on the bus that I brought your heir on.

183
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: Shout It matter anyway. But but here's my point. The

184
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: point is is that you cannot hide behind the moniker

185
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: of this is a place in an institution of higher

186
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: learning and education. You can't have behind it. You certainly

187
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: have to have it. The prestige of going to a

188
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: fine college and the institution of learning higher learning is

189
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: very attractive. But make no mistake about it, you will

190
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: not be any in any position as a head of school,

191
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 3: president of the school board of trustees, whatever it is.

192
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: You are not in a place where you can minimize

193
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: athletics and try to suppress what athletics represents to what

194
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: the the earning capacity of what it represents to the

195
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: university and in some cases to the state. You can't

196
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: minimize it now because it is now being turned into

197
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: a very very pro like approach, and now people are

198
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: going to be in a very very quick rush, a

199
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: quick movement to try to figure out what the solutions are,

200
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: what are what are even the positions the appointment of

201
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: new jobs that have to be created in order to

202
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: be able to handle this. You're going to have to

203
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: have capologists. You're gonna have to have gms, You're gonna

204
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: have to You're gonna have to have scouts, like and

205
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: they already have scouts.

206
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: Michael Lombardi's Michael Lombardi's, Belichick's GM College.

207
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: There's a lot, There's a lot. There is a lot here,

208
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: and hearing what Matt Ruhle has to say, it's just

209
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: the tip of the iceberg in terms of all of

210
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: the conversations that are going to continue to come up

211
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: and become like, what what are the main topics of

212
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: conversations as it applies to this new world of what

213
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: sports represent at the college level.

214
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: Do you mean to tell me as we sit here

215
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: right now on the third of July twenty twenty five,

216
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: that the term student athlete no longer means the same thing.

217
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. It doesn't because you don't have to

218
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: everybody that understands going to college and playing the game

219
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: that was a that was a politically correct way of

220
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: expressing what you were as a scholarship player. You had

221
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: to say it, I am a student athlete. And while

222
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: it is still not a pay for play model in college,

223
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: it is still not pay for play. The one term

224
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: that they have to get used to, and it's going

225
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: to have to be embraced, and it's going to lead

226
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: to a whole lot of different things, organizing unions and

227
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: having union reps and maybe it leads to collective bargaining

228
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: agreements and all kinds of stuff like that. Is employee

229
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: is employee, And that's what's going to be interesting. How

230
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: quickly does the college level get to the place where

231
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 3: it is comfortable saying that these are employees, Meaning if

232
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: they are employees, you're talking about retirement, you're talking about insurance,

233
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: you're taking all the things that come along with being

234
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: an employee. They are going to have to figure for

235
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: and they're going to have to have the resources and

236
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: the funds to put towards those things. Once it becomes

237
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: a real thing that college athletes are not student athletes

238
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: just student athletes. They are students, They are athletes, and

239
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: they are employees. Once you get those three put together

240
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 3: and the understanding of.

241
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: That is really realized, realized to speak for a living,

242
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 6: Once the realization of that comes to fruition, there is.

243
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: Going to be so many people. Lawyers, you know, financial planners,

244
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: you name it. There's going to be so there's even

245
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: private private family offices, investors, major investors. They are now

246
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: looking at the college space the same way that they

247
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: are looking at the pro space. There are people that

248
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: are actually trying to purchase the rights of the school.

249
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: It's outside of the leer fields and the play flies

250
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. There are actually private equity groups

251
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: that are trying to purchase schools. In other words, what

252
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: it is that the sports represents. They're trying to purchase

253
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: the rights to that so that they can use that

254
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: as a place to place their money. This is a

255
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: very deep rabbit hole that has been created, and I

256
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: don't see the bottom of it. I don't see the

257
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: bottom of it just yet. It's still just black. It's

258
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: just darkness. You don't see the bottom, like, oh, there's

259
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: the floor of this nil there's the floor of this

260
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: new new college college world. You don't see it yet.

261
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: There's still so much more to be defined. I mean,

262
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: what does that look like for liability? You know what

263
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: type of lawsuits are going to come from? You know

264
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: the athletes that are playing, like, what type of rights

265
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: do they have? How does this impact Title nine? Like

266
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: with women's involvement and them having fair opportunity to be

267
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: treated equally? How do all of these things happen? Do

268
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: you stay with the NCAAA. How strong does the NCAAA stay.

269
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: There are a lot of different conversations, a lot of

270
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: different lanes of different roads where all of these things

271
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: have to be discussed and have to be flushed out

272
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: and established, and it isn't going to be anytime soon,

273
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: and these athletes are tasked with trying to navigate it

274
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: as athletes to a new space, and so are the coaches,

275
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: and so are the administrators of these schools.

Speaker 8: comedian in uh in Gotham City who had a wife

314
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 8: and I think a pregnant wife or something, and was

315
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 8: struggling and went into a life of crime and fell

316
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 8: into a vat of chemicals. And that comedian came out

317
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 8: with green hair and and a weird white face. And

318
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 8: now they're known as the Joker. The Joker, and she

319
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 8: married Jeff Bezos.

320
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 5: No, I'm kidding.

321
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 3: Uh, thank you Jonas.

322
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 9: Uh she uh she worked Miss and discriminate though well,

323
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 9: Miss sin Chez worked at Channel eleven, which is which

324
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 9: one is that kt TV out here, which is the

325
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 9: Fox affiliate.

326
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 5: So uh, she.

327
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 8: Worked at the Fox affiliate which is not where all

328
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 8: the Fox people like me work, uh, which is down

329
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 8: the street, which is the Fox lot, the movie lot

330
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 8: which they actually sold along a few years ago to

331
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 8: ESPN and a bunch of other people. They don't own

332
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 8: it anymore, but they rent their sports building on the

333
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 8: Fox lot, So if that makes any sense, the twentieth

334
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 8: century Fox Lot is really no longer owned by Fox.

335
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 8: But that's where we all work. KTTV is on Bundy,

336
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 8: which everybody knows from the OJ trial, a little ways

337
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 8: over in Brentwood, West LA. And that's where Fox eleven is.

338
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 8: She Sanchez worked there as a news lady, and I

339
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 8: believe that I don't know, I just like to or Lopez.

340
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 8: She she she worked there at KTTV, and she was married,

341
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 8: even though it's not listed. She was married to a

342
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 8: famous old KTTV's foot soldier, reporter and really good play

343
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 8: by play guy who was a USC played by play

344
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 8: guy for SC basketball and he was an Angels play

345
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 8: by play guy. And he passed away, uh kind of suddenly,

346
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 8: but he was. She was married to Rory Marcus for

347
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 8: a little while.

348
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: Was she really uh huh?

349
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 8: And then she uh yeah, Bryan Thompson, Yeah, she was

350
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 8: married to him. It was like the Kim, that black

351
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 8: dude that Kim Kardashian was married to. First that everybody, yeah, yeah,

352
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 8: everybody acts like ray J was the first dude to

353
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 8: date her. But uh so after that, she dated Anthony Miller,

354
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 8: the wide receiver from the Chargers and Denver, Yes, and

355
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 8: then and then she dated Tony Gonzalez and had a

356
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 8: baby with him, and then she dated like Derek Fisher. Yeah,

357
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 8: and I mean she'd been around uh and uh and

358
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 8: then Bezos snatched her up. But she doesn't look the

359
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 8: same that she as she used to, and neither does he.

360
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 8: You know, he looks like this way different. He looks

361
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 8: like a sperm that lifted weights. So is it like

362
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 8: a swall little sperm.

363
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: Is it fair to say that she she's got power

364
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: to all fields? Basically looking at her resume here, well, I.

365
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 8: Would, I mean to me, it still seems like she's

366
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 8: she's one tool.

367
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: Player because Rory Marcus looks different than Anthony.

368
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, well Rory would be Yeah, that was you know,

369
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 8: the black guy that Kardashian. But uh, let's see if

370
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 8: I got any wrong. She got Tony Gonzalez, that was

371
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 8: her two thousand, had Anthony Miller, Then she was with

372
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 8: Derek Fisher.

373
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:51,159

Speaker 8: Friends who are like people at Fox, like the kind

394
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,680

400
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 3: What is it? What is it with La people sharing

401
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: one another? Like I've never like maybe I haven't liked Hell.

402

Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm from here. Don't nobody cheer for me?

Speaker 5: They don't share you. They don't cheer me, show me

404
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 5: or share me or cheer me.

405
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, share not chair not cheer leading.

406
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 5: Sharing.

407
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: Sharing is caring, Like a lot of people share each

408
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 3: other's people out here, Like, I get it. It's a

409
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: weird culture of that in La I have.

410
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, I used to know Maoi pretty well, just from

411
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 8: a home there that my in laws owned, so we

412
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 8: would stay, you know, out of the hotel areas and stuff,

413
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 8: and you end up talking to people and you get

414
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 8: to know people that live there, and they don't they

415
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 8: talk about women there, that there's just not that many

416
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 8: women and that there's.

417
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 5: Not really that many people on the island.

418
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 8: And I always think of a Hawaiian island, especially Maui,

419
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 8: as like a movie set. And sadly it was very

420
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 8: very prevalent when they had the disastrous fire there in Lahina.

421
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 8: But I always think of those places as kind of

422
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 8: a movie set, like it's beautiful, there's all these buildings

423
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 8: that it seems like there's all this stuff, these stores,

424
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 8: these restaurants, but there really are no resources, and if

425
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 8: you push on it, it like falls over.

426
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 5: It's it's false, it's not real.

427
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 8: And you learn that when something bad happens, like an

428
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 8: individual disaster where somebody gets hurt catastrophically, and if you

429
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 8: can't survive a metavac to Honolulu, you're gonna die. This

430
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 8: is a long way to answer your question, but I

431
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 8: think it's prevalence.

432
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: It's all right what people feel the relevance of this.

433
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 8: What people say in Maui is you don't really get

434
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 8: your a relationship with a girl.

435
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 5: You get your.

436
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 8: Turn because you know, there's really not that many people there.

437
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: You know. It's kind of like you know that old joke,

438
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 5: it's your night in the barrel.

439
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 3: And so it's about eligible date.

440
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 8: I don't I think lascause there are a ton of

441
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 8: people in La Yeah, there are people here, there are,

442
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 8: but there's only a certain amount of people that think

443
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 8: that they're as cool as these idiot marginal TV stars

444
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 8: that you will share.

445
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: And God forbid, and God forbid one of those women

446
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: who gets meta backed, you know, then oh.

447
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're never gonna survive the Medovac to Honolulu. But

448
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 8: they're just that it's a little tiny pond and they

449
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 8: just jumped from lily Pad to lily Pad without really

450
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 8: going anywhere.

451
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 3: Who's in the pond? Is it like they know where

452
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: to go? Like, like, how do you like? This is

453
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: an impressive.

454
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 8: There's a sign outside of the pond and it says

455
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 8: c AA.

456
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 5: I mean that's seriously, you know it's it's.

457
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: They meet through agencies.

458
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's agency bs.

459
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 8: It's people who have you been to these parties that

460
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 8: you guys go to the Sleeper Bowl?

461

00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah. I don't go to the parties.

463
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 8: But you see all the TV people walking around the

464
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 8: space and they all act like they are seriously like

465
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 8: at the at the GA seven conference, like they are

466
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 8: signing global law into I mean, they really do act

467
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 8: like they're doing something important.

468
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 3: And they only stay in their own space too, by

469
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: the way, like you'll see them moving around, but they

470
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: only acknowledge one another.

471
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's like being at those parties whenever. And

472
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 8: this happens to be at the Fox Seminar every year,

473
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 8: and I've been going to the Fox Seminar probably longer

474
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 8: than anybody else that's worked there, because I've worked there

475
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 8: for so long, but I mean other than Howie Long

476
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 8: and Terry Bradshaw people like that. But everybody that you

477
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 8: talk to, it feels like, at least me, they're always

478
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 8: looking over your shoulder for somebody cooler to show up,

479
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 8: you know, And that's that's kind of like the vibe

480
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 8: of these people. But not everybody's happy with the bezosweating.

481
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 8: I mean, there was massive protests, I don't know if massive,

482
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 8: but noticeable, noticeable protest in Venice where people were unhappy.

483
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 8: They don't love their tourists there, but I don't really

484
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 8: know what they have if they don't have tourists, just

485
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 8: a bunch of stinking brackish water, and uh, it grows

486
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 8: and then I mean, can you imagine it's literally it's thousands, Yeah,

487
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 8: it's thousands and thousands of years of rotting city on

488
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 8: disgusting water. But anyway, the people, the people in Venice

489
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 8: weren't happy. Charlis Throne took a shot at them from

490
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 8: the Universal Lot at some party, and Katie Kurrk called

491
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 8: it tacky, and so did others like Bethany Frankel and

492
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 8: people that weren't invited.

493
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: Does she count?

494
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, does who does count?

495
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: Franklo?

496
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just saying there's some pushbacks.

497
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: Skinnybadka now Petros, I am wondering, Kitty Girl, Margarita Arguer?

498
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: Will you be tonight is a big night for the

499
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 2: Why what did I miss? Clayton Kershaw will go three

500
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 2: thousand strikeout against the awful White Sox leader Dodger Stadium.

501
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: Will you be live on location for that event later on?

502
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 5: No?

503
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 8: No, we inquired about being there and then we're not

504
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 8: going to be there, but.

505
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: Usually we are there for events like this.

506
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 8: But either way, Yeah, the Kershaw thing is happening tonight.

507
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 8: He's had a long career.

508
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: Kershaw. Excuse me, hold on.

509
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: Bless you? Sorry, bless you? No worries? Do you take

510
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: do you take martial arts class?

511
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 4: You?

512
00:28:59,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: Yea?

513
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 5: Y yogi? Yogi? You're a dishonor k We were talking

514
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 5: about Kershaw.

515
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 8: Kershaw reminds me a little bit of Kobe in town,

516
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 8: you know, And I don't think people can really grasp

517
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 8: I mean, you could look at the numbers and all that,

518
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 8: and the playoffs were.

519
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 5: A whole different rigamarole.

520
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 8: But Kershaw has had a heck of a career and

521
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 8: he was so dominant when he was in his prime

522
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 8: as a pitcher. The Dodgers took a trip to Australia.

523
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 8: Remember when they played in Australia. We all remembered Korea

524
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: and Japan, but like seven, eight, nine years ago, they

525
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 8: played in Australia and to start out the season, and

526
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 8: the long flight and the flight home ruined Kershaw's back

527
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 8: to where he needed to have back surgery. And he's

528
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 8: never had elbow surgery. Imagine that. I mean, this guy's

529
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 8: been pitched for twenty years. Most guys by the time

530
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 8: they're twenty years old have to Tommy Johns now a

531
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 8: major league pitchers. This guy has never had one. But

532
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 8: he did end up having back surgery. But he reminds

533
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 8: me a little bit of Kobe in that he was

534
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 8: so dominant in his.

535
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: Time and.

536
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 8: Literally not very friendly with the LA media and just

537
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 8: you know, just not a cup cuddly warm guy. And

538
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 8: you got the the and I don't blame him, but

539
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 8: you know, he's from Texas and you get got the

540
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 8: idea that he was just didn't want to be here,

541
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 8: you know, like Los Angeles was not a great fit

542
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 8: for him. But of course it's been a dream career

543
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 8: and he's had the whole thing here and him and

544
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 8: his wife Allen have learned to adapt to the area

545
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 8: during the season and all that. But it does remind

546
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 8: me of Kobe because like the last three or four years,

547
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 8: as his career has just sort of unmercifully come to

548
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 8: an end, and he keeps going and he's not throwing

549
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 8: ninety five ninety six anymore. He's throwing eighty nine and

550
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 8: he's still striking people out and he's still got a

551
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 8: lot of savvy up there. He's the oldest looking thirty

552
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 8: seven year old or whatever in the history of the world.

553
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 8: I mean, he looks like Greg Oden or DeAndre Ayton there.

554
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 8: He's got the old man look, deep crevices in his face.

555
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the sweat marks on his hat.

556
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's wearing it and he and now he's like

557
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 8: all friendly and doing interviews and he's everybody's bff. And

558
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 8: it's like, to me, it's a little bit like Kobe.

559
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: It's like, remember how you act in the last sixteen years,

560
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 8: you know, and all of a sudden, now that you're

561
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 8: on your way out, it's like, hey, I love y'all.

562
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: It's like, no, you don't.

563
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 8: But anyway, he's had a hell of a career and

564
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 8: he's had a terrible, terrible time of it in the playoffs. Also,

565
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 8: there's been a lot of ups and downs, and he

566
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 8: is he is an eye and he would have gotten

567
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 8: it looked like he would have gotten into his three

568
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 8: thousand strikeout and uh wherever they were, Colorado, but they

569
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 8: pulled him and when he had three left with only uh,

570
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 8: not that many pitches, so they could set the stage

571
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 8: for what otherwise might not be a very well attended

572
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 8: game tonight in uh at Dodger Stadium against the White Sox.

573
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 8: So there'll be a coronation tonight unless he just goes

574
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: out there and gets his boob scooped out.

575
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: But that's probably I don't think that. I mean, the

576
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 5: White Sox aren't very good. Uh.

577
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Now you mentioned the plane ride. Is that is that

578
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: the story that everyone's going with that the plane ride

579
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: from Australia hurt his back? Yes, that's a real How.

580
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 5: Are you saying that he was eaten by a dingo?

581
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, how do you like sitting on

582
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: a plane. It's not like they're taking.

583
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: The plane ride. I mean the guid and was never hurt.

584
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 5: He never had any issues.

585
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 8: And the long plane ride he slept weird and his

586
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 8: back got weird and then he probably pushed it on

587
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 8: the bad back and made it worse or something.

588
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, like it's not my back. I got

589
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 5: enough problem.

590
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Were they taking the romancing the Stone plane? Like what

591
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: are we doing here?

592
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 5: Like that romancing the Stone?

593
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: It feels like they leave me alone, the travel in

594
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: luxury and he wouldn't have to worry about back pain.

595
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: I've never flown to Australia, so I don't know exactly.

596
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 8: You should book your favorite guy, David Vasse Dodger reporter,

597
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 8: because he is the guy behind the Kershaw's back was

598
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: ruined on the Australian plane.

599
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: Hey, Kershaw's the reason David Massey attacks me on the air. Okay,

600
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: because David Massay has got trauma from back then and

601
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: he takes it out on me.

602
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 5: So you know what, You're right.

603
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 8: He has a lot of trauma for being bullied by

604
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 8: baseball players over the years.

605
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. Are we almost are

606
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: we wrapping up the the era of being nailed by

607
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: the King Petros is it? Is it winding down here

608
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: with Lebron or what's.

609
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: Romancing the Stone?

610
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 5: Romancing the Stone?

611
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: Was that a how did they slip that into the

612
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: culture and nobody really took a good look at it.

613
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: But romance in the Stone?

614
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: What is the stone that's being romance?

615
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: It's like a jewel that they were all at.

616
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: Oh, of course it is. And then there was a

617
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: who's the main character in that movie?

618
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 8: Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.

619
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: Danny DeVito, no further than that first name. I already

620
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: know what Romancing the Stone is when that first guy

621
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: is in the movie.

622
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 5: That a reference to cocaine.

623
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 3: No, Michael Douglas, he's horned up.

624
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 8: I don't think there's any better like angry pissed off

625
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:43,080

Speaker 8: The sequel to Jewel of the Nile was or was

00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 8: Romancing the Stone was Jewel of the remember that, And

633
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 8: the song was by Billy Ocean Romance in the Stone.

634
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 5: That never leave me alone taking it.

635

Speaker 3: expression that looking in I mean, look.

637
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 5: We all remember, we all remember.

638
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 8: The scene in Basic Instinct where he ripped off poor

639
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 8: Jeanie triple horns g string taking it.

640
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 5: But uh, anyway.

641
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: Lebron James, all right, okay, there we go back to

642
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: the point.

643
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 5: I think what happened.

644
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 8: Uh, And I'm not the only one to say this.

645
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 8: My radio partners the first one to mention it, and

646
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 8: it made sense to me. Was it just feels like

647
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 8: they offer the Lebron people tried to get ahead of

648
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 8: the new ownership and get a new deal and get

649
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 8: some more years on his deal, and they told him no.

650
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 8: So then Lebron had to release that really weird statement

651
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 8: through shams to uh to the what wasn't about the

652
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 8: Oh just yeah, the Lakers know that this is important

653
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 8: and we've got to keep an eye on the right.

654
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 5: It's an amazing thing.

655
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 8: Like basically, Lebron saying I have my contract is crippling

656
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 8: to any franchise.

657
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 5: Uh, and no one will take it.

658
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 8: So I'm going to use this contract to cripple you,

659
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 8: but I'm also going to hold you accountable for your

660
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 8: bad roster that exists because of my bad contract, So

661
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 8: it it could be winding down. But I do think

662
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 8: we're going to have another year of struggling with the King.

663
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 8: But I don't think that the uh.

664
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 5: I don't think that he is the Lakers priority anymore.

665
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 8: And I think that was very very obvious to everybody

666
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,959
Speaker 8: when he was.

667
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 5: When Luka donct showed up.

668
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,479
Speaker 8: So when that trade happened, I think it was pretty

669
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 8: obvious to everybody that the Lakers are are are a

670
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 8: Luca team and no longer a Lebron team. So everything

671
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 8: else that you hear out of the Lebron people are

672
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 8: like the death spasms of his relevance in the city,

673
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 8: which I hope is ending.

674
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: So is did It's just still moving.

675
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a death rattle.

676
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 8: But I don't think uh, I don't think they can

677
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 8: get rid of them, right, I mean without getting in

678
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 8: all the NBA loophole bs that everybody sits there.

679
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 3: And what does that mean for Brownie?

680
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 5: That's a great question, you know, what does it mean

681
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 5: for Brownie? You know?

682
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 8: And what does it mean? Oh, Eddie Grant sings Romance

683
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 8: in the Stone. I'm sorry, guys, all right, corrections and retractions.

684

Speaker 8: Do you guys know who Eddie Grant is? Electric Avenue?

685
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,000

Speaker 8: studio somewhere in the Bahamas or somewhere in the Caribbean,

689
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 8: not Jamaica. He opened a studio, a recording studio where

690
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 8: a lot of really famous albums ended up being recorded.

691
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 8: Eddie Grant, he's the guy that sang the Romance in

692
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,839

693
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 8: into the actual movie. It was only in the trailer.

694
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,520

Speaker 8: I liked San Pedro is a is a where a

700
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 8: town I grew up in and around is is pretty

701
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 8: good for fireworks, where like everybody on the street has

702
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 8: their own mortars and stuff, and it's like Vietnam, you know,

703
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 8: like block by block it gets really and San Pedro's

704
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 8: that way, Wilmington's that way. Harbor cities that way La

705
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 8: Meta is that way, you know, all the way up

706
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 8: through the city and then all the way up through

707
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 8: the gateway cities between Orange County and La like Paramount

708
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 8: and Compton and Downy and Cerritos and Lamarada. I mean

709
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 8: they all, I mean, every single block has their own

710
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 8: iron dome.

711
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: In Israel, you know.

712
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520

714
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,040

715
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 5: So it is, yeah, a chopper, uh and uh.

716
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 8: And so it's it's fun in that regard because you

717
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 8: get to higher ground, so to speak, and you just

718
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 8: watch the city explode. But it's also like that when

719
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 8: the Dodgers win. Yeah, an electric avenue, no doubt about it.

720
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 8: And you know every year somebody loses a hand, like

721

771
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: You totally fit all of the stereotypes of a if

00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 3: you fit the building in that man. You scared me,

774
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 3: and that's the part, that's the part of the story

775
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 3: that you left out, Like I was sitting on my

776
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: balcony like far enough. Well, far enough away for you

777
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: not to be able to determine exactly my my location

778
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 3: on my balcony.

779
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: And then you know what was the most insulting piece

780
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 2: of it all is that I start walking back towards

781
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: the hotel and I've didn't turn around, and LaVar it

782
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 2: was walking backwards. LaVar started putting garlic inside a paintball

783
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: gun and firing it out. Oh bruh, the balcony at me.

784
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been wrong.

785
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 3: You startled me so when you turned and was looking

786
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: around for bodies, and then your eyes went up and

787
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: met my eyes.

788
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: I see it's crazy. I see LaVar later. He's got

789
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: a flask on him, Like, what do you got in there?

790
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: He's a holy water player.

791
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm not taking any chances with you. Hell, your weird ass.

792
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 3: Weird ass. By the way, it is why you'd be

793
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: so awake in the morning, man. I always tried to

794
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: figure out why you're so awake in the morning. Bro,

795
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 3: I have slept in the seventeen hundred. That's your time

796
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 3: to shine. It's still dark out.

797
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 5: Now.

798
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: It has been a already an eventful fourth of July

799
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: for somebody. Now, that's somebody we don't know. We just

800
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: know it's the somebody who's responsible for the pair of

801
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: panties that were laying in the courtyard.

802
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 3: I mean, why somebody got lucky there's a pair of

803
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 3: in front of the studio and this this day and age,

804
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: this climate. Let me say, maybe somebody was unlucky. I

805
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: don't know, somebody might have got caught up or somebody

806
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: they got caught up in the rapture of love. As

807
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 3: Anita Baker.

808
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: Would, I would just say, that feels like something you

809
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: would want on you at all times unless things went

810
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: a certain way and and all of a sudden you realize, yeah,

811
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 2: you know you don't need that. You know, maybe you

812
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: want to get rid of the evidence. But me, but

813
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: here's the thing.

814
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 3: If it went down like that and you left your

815
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: panties like right then and there in the courtyard of

816
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: this office building, don't like, I know, it's the fourth

817
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: of July, but we're here. There's some people that's all

818
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 3: the security goes shit. I mean, wouldn't somebody clean them up,

819
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: like when somebody just you know, scoop and score them

820
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: into the trash can or something. They just sitting right

821
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 3: there for everybody to see, just some yellow panties. And

822
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 3: by the way, not to nitpick here, but it is

823
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 3: fourth of July. You've got three colors to choose from today.

824
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: Yellow yellow wasn't on the menu. That's not on the menu,

825
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: So get it together next time. If you're going to

826
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: celebrate Fourth of July with a pair of panties in

827
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: the courtyard in front of the studio, red white or

828
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: blue that's it or green class hat.

829
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: We are in La Great Point.

830
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

831
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 5: That's what.

832
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: Uh, that's what we're working with here on this fourth

833
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: of July. So hope everybody has a safe one. By

834
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: the way, we are brought to you by tire raq

835
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: dot com. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been

836
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and

837

Speaker 2: Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile

00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: tire installation tire rack dot com. The way tire buying

840
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: should be all right. So we've got conflicting reports here.

841
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: Mary Kaycabin of Cleveland dot com says that Kenny Pickett

842
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: will have the advantage in the Browns quarterback battle, writing

843
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: Thursday that Picket's superpower will be his mobility. That will

844
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: enable the Browns to be creative and unpredictable in Stefanski's offense. Specifically,

845
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: Kavit said that Stefanski will give Picket more of an

846
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: opportunity to run the keepers, run pass options, and other

847
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: plays that rely on his strengths. Now the athletic Zach

848
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: Jackson added that Flaco Joe Flacco is the favorite to

849
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: emerge from a complicated four man quarterback competition and win

850
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: the starting job out of week one. All right, guess

851
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: what everything's on the table in Cleveland? Okay, this idea

852
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: that like, one guy's got the advantage, No, the other

853
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: guy's got the advantage. Aren't they all kind of in

854
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: the same spot. It's a team that nobody really expects

855
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 2: a whole lot from. You're probably a stopgap quarterback because

856
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: of all the picks you acquired for next year in

857
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: the trade with Jacksonville. So this site idea that, well,

858
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: Flacco's got the advantage, Kenny Pickett's got the advantage.

859
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: Dude.

860
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: Who's to say Dylan Gabriel and Shore Sanders don't have

861
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: the advantage? Everything they don't. Everything should be on the

862
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: table though, in Cleveland.

863
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 3: I'll say this, everything in theory. What you're saying is correct.

864
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 3: But you have a forty year old Joe Flacco who

865
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: has a body of work, and it's no, it's really

866
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 3: in a way, it's really no different than Aaron Rodgers.

867
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 3: Both have one super Bowl.

868
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 5: Now.

869
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 3: Granted, people, Oh, I'm outraged. Aaron Rodgers has all of

870
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 3: these these MVP awards and dah da dah he's a

871
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 3: first ballot Hall of Famer. You're right, but not today.

872
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 5: You know what he is today.

873
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 3: You know what he is today? Said a guy over

874
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 3: forty that's going into what could perceivably be his last

875
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: year of football and he has one super Bowl championship

876
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 3: kind of sounds the same to me. I mean, Joe

877
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: Flacco forty, he's got a Super Bowl, did really well,

878
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 3: so he has a body of work to stand on.

879
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett is still sitting on a limited resume. He

880
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 3: didn't do horribly bad in Pittsburgh. There were elements that

881
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: could have been working against him in Pittsburgh, and it's

882
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 3: led to him having an early departure from maybe possibly

883
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: being what the Steelers could have used or needed as

884
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: a you know, starting quarterback. He was a winning record

885
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 3: quarterback when he departed Pittsburgh for Philly, gets an opportunity

886
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 3: to learn from from that staff in Philadelphia. He claims, Oh,

887
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 3: by the way, not as a starter, but he too

888
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 3: has a super Bowl ring on his resume as well.

889
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 2: Got playing time in that super Bowl. Okay, that counts.

890
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: You have two super Bowl winning quarterbacks on your roster.

891
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 3: I believe those are the Those are if you're saying

892
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: everything's on the table for consumption, those are the main courses.

893
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: Those are the one that's the turkey you brought out.

894
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 3: That's the ham you brought out. It's the fourth of July.

895
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 3: That's the ribs that you brought through. Like, that's those

896
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 3: two right there. Now as it applies to Dylan Gabriel

897
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 3: and Shador Sanders, I just honestly believe, and especially now

898
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 3: that we've seen the coverage of Shador Sanders seemingly kind

899
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: of cool off. The overwhelming amount of coverage on him.

900
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 3: I think was placing a target on Stefanski in this

901
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns team. But that has kind of it's tailed

902
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 3: off a little bit, and now it looks as though

903
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 3: you're getting into what it's really going to be going

904
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 3: into the training camp season, and I think that it's

905
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 3: a reality to say that they're not factors in getting

906
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 3: on the field. In fact, the biggest the biggest win

907
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 3: for Gabriel and for Sanders would be able to make

908
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: the active roster or possibly get on the practice squad

909
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 3: and see what happens from there. Does another team try

910
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 3: to claim your rights or whatever it may be, It

911
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: may end up putting you in a different situation on

912
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 3: a different team. But that's the reality for these these

913
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 3: rookies that that is tremendous. That is a tremendous hill

914
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 3: to climb to go from the fifth round to starter.

915
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 3: It is a tremendous climb to go from third round

916
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 3: to starter. When you have two guys that are in

917
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 3: front of you that are veterans, and one has a

918
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 3: lot of potential. He's not he's not he's not counted

919
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: out as being just a bust of a draft for

920
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 3: the Steelers. He still has some potential and he's young.

921
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: The other is older, and you feel a little bit

922
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 3: of comfort knowing that if it doesn't work with this

923
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: younger guy, that could potentially be what we need. We

924
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: have Joe Flacco to put in that can steady and

925
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: write the ship probably be a great influence on the

926
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 3: locker room. So Jonas, I think that it's really not

927
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 3: everything's on the table. If you're looking at the two rookies,

928
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 3: you're probably looking at it. There's your corn, right, there's

929
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: your corn on the cob, there's your macaroni and cheese,

930
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. They're side dishes, but they are

931
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 3: far from the main dish in this course.

932
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: My thought on it is this, I think everything should

933
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 2: be on the table because it's the Browns and the

934
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 2: situation they're in. They should not be closed minded to

935
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: any option at quarterback. And you know, you made some

936
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: comments a few weeks back about listen, just make suit

937
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: or the starter, like at this point, just make them

938
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: the starter, and you know you got pushback on that

939
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 2: and some blowback, and my thought was, well why not,

940
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: Like why is everything just a surefire bet that it's

941
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 2: going to be Flacco or it's gonna be Kenny Pickett.

942
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 2: Open this thing up and whoever plays the best, you're

943
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 2: gonna get the opportunity to be any politics. There shouldn't

944
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: be any contractual obligation added into the mix. Kenny Tanny

945
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 2: Pickett's not on a long term deal, neither is Joe

946
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: Flacco and Dylan Gabriel and shad Or Sanders are mid

947
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: round draft picks. So I look at I go, everything

948
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: should be open for discussion when it comes to this.

949
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: Nobody's opinion or theory should be considered crazy. Everything should

950
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 2: be under open for discussion. I think it'll be Flacco

951
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 2: because I don't think Kevin Stefanski's got the wiggle room

952
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 2: to be able to survive another bad year and then

953
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: come back next But he.

954
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 3: Has the wiggle room That just throws the door Sanders

955
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 3: in as I think.

956
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 2: I think Kevin Stefanski is looking at this going, dude,

957
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 2: I need to go with what's going to save my job.

958
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: I personally feel like that's gonna be Joe Flacco. But

959
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't think Stefanski's in a position to be like,

960
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, no, no no, I've got time or

961
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 2: I've got this. I can I can kind of, you know,

962
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: play with this or experiment with that. If I'm Kevin Stefanski,

963
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, look, I know what this organization has. They've

964
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: got multiple first round draft picks next year. Next year

965
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: is a much better that's the opinion from the experts.

966
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: Much better quarterback draft class. But I've got to produce

967
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: at some point now or else I'm not going to

968
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: be here next year. And if I'm Stefanski, he's got

969
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: to take a look at everything everything to figure out

970
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: what is what is my best path to try and

971
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: keep my gig. I think it's going to be Flacco.

972
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 2: But this idea that like, well, no, it's it's this

973
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: and so and so's got the advantage and that person's

974
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 2: got the advantage. Dude, you have no idea. Until you

975
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: get to training camping into games, you have no.

976
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: Clue the real the real measurement here is it's very

977
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 3: difficult to be able to see if a rookie that's

978
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 3: never played is ready. You can get an indicator of

979
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 3: their their AQ by how they pick up the playbook,

980
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 3: how they handle their reads on the field, how they

981
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 3: even give the play call, how they command the the

982
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 3: team you know, and how they approach the play. But

983
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 3: until you're in a game, a real game, not even

984
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 3: a preseason game, a real game where they can hit

985
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 3: you and everything matters and everything counts. This is not

986
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 3: for scrimmage for play, This is not for s's and giggles.

987
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 3: This is real bullets in the chamber that are coming

988
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 3: at you now in those games, there are only two

989
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 3: guys that have those types of reps under their belts.

990
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 3: There are only two guys that have that type of

991
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 3: film on their resume, and it's not those rookies. So

992
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: if everything that you're saying is to remain and hold

993
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 3: true that this is his time to do it, or

994
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 3: get off of the esser and move on and let

995
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 3: somebody else get on the pot, then he is not.

996
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 5: To me.

997
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 3: That is not a wise and a prudent move to

998
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 3: put in a third rounder or a fifth rounder to start.

999
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 3: I just don't see it. And there's no reason to

1000
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 3: have had Picket or or Flacco on the roster if

1001
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: that's what you were going to do, because you may

1002
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 3: lose your job by the end of the third, fourth week,

1003
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 3: fifth week. You may lose your job depending on how

1004
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 3: badly or how poorly they look. That's the potential of

1005
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 3: what you face. Now. Granted, if you did it and

1006
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 3: it works out, that's different. That's different. You look like

1007
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 3: a genius. Nobody has anything to say, oh my gosh,

1008
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 3: we said this all along, boom boom boom, But who

1009
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 3: is that? Which rookie is that? I don't even think

1010
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 3: we know which rookie that is. Like you said, there's

1011
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 3: been reports like that, have been conflicting reports on who's

1012
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 3: actually having the most impact as a rookie on the

1013
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 3: mini camps and the OTAs that have taken place. So

1014
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 3: to me, right now, the most feasible approach to this,

1015
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 3: if I'm Stefanski in the Cleveland Browns, is to go

1016
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 3: with the guy that you know is going to give

1017
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 3: you the best opportunity to when that sounds cliche but

1018
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 3: in a redundant but that's what it is. I think

1019
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 3: that's Joe Flacco. If they're giving it to Kenny Pickett

1020
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 3: based off of where they are right now, I wouldn't

1021
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 3: say it's totally egregious. All I would say is is

1022
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: that he's not going to have a whole lot of

1023
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 3: time if he doesn't get in there and show that

1024
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: he can get it done and they can make things

1025
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 3: work very quickly, very early. I would not be surprised

1026
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 3: if it's shifted to Flaco as quickly as possible. If

1027
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 3: Flaco doesn't get it done, he stays in. Listen, he

1028
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 3: stays in as the starting quarterback, and they're going to

1029
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 3: try to figure it out for the duration of the season,

1030
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 3: and the only way Pickett comes back in is if

1031
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 3: Flaco gets hurt and can't continue on and then only

1032
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 3: then will that show or give any relevance to those

1033
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 3: rookies as to what they may do. Again, I still

1034
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 3: believe this is a boom or bus proposition with Shador Sanders.

1035
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 3: If you're not really working to get him into that

1036
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 3: rotation of playing, I don't really see that they have

1037
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,919
Speaker 3: the value that it holds value to hold four quarterbacks.

1038
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 3: One of those one of those draft picks face getting

1039
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: released from that team, and I'm telling you, fifth round

1040
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 3: pick versus third round pick, it's a no brainer that

1041
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 3: it's the fifth round pick. Take the names out of it.

1042
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 3: It's a no brainer that if you're going to release

1043
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback on your team when you could when you're

1044
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: generally only carrying two to three quarterbacks at that position,

1045
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 3: there's a strong possibility that Gabriel ends up on the

1046
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 3: practice squad and Shador Sanders ends up going elsewhere, becoming

1047
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 3: a free agent through release.

1048
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes when I'm betting on horses, because I

1049
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell I'm doing, I'll just bet

1050
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: like four horses to win and be like, you know,

1051
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean something's got to hit. You know, it's like

1052
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: ten to twelve horse fields. Something's gotta hit.

1053
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 3: Do that would Roulette?

1054
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you bet the inside and it'll.

1055
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: Beat the hell out of you trying to come up

1056
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: with what you think what strategy is going to win.

1057
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: Here's what's great about this. You can I think you

1058
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 2: can bet on the brown starting quarterback. I would literally

1059
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: place a bet on all four because I think anything

1060
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,439
Speaker 2: could happen. I really did, like they're they're in such

1061
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: a spine.

1062
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 3: I've done that in Roulette and it landed on Green.

1063
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 3: Took all my mind. I think Lee was with me.

1064
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 3: I put all this cash down on evens, odds, Black Rid.

1065
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: That bit's hit Green. Oh yeah? Would I would never

1066
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 3: gamble again too, I mean I put it all out there.

1067
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be looking ashtrays, I'd be I'd be jumping

1068
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 2: in the Blagio fountain like it'd be.

1069
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 3: That's terrible. You want to know the point. You want

1070
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 3: to know the ultimate point of that story. Maybe these

1071
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 3: quarterbacks are red and black and evens and odds. You

1072
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,959
Speaker 3: don't have any Green on your team. Maybe your Green

1073
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 3: is rehabbing.

1074
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: Or maybe you're green.

1075
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 3: Maybe your green is rehabbing. Maybe he's sitting there and

1076
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: in the wings, he's getting healthy. Everybody's talking about all

1077
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks right here. What are you going to do

1078
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 3: with her? These guys? He steady rehabbing, getting healthy, and

1079
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: then he comes back like Superman in a in a

1080
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 3: moment of glory and is now made whole with his

1081
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 3: big contract and lives up to all of the expectations

1082
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: he had coming in.

1083
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 2: The NFL's most expensive mentor.

1084
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 3: That would be an amazing That would be an amazing

1085
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: storyline that developed. I tell you that
