00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: Welcome in what'ch right with Me? Great Episode two twenty seven.

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: How'd you spend your morning? I spent mine arguing with

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: folks on the internet. After on Tuesday I said, don't

12
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: argue with people on the internet. This was a little different,

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: though this was an anonymous strangers. This is supposed experts talking

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: down to me. I think that there is an element

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: of maybe because of the job I have, or how

16
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: I carry myself or whatever, the reasons are that some

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of these folks think that I can't get down in

18
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: the analytical streets the way they can. No the idea

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 2: that you're going to all of a sudden be able

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: to outsmart me in one of these arguments. It's it

21
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: would be insulting if it weren't so amusing. And that

22
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: is actually where we're going to start the show when

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: we talk about the Bills. But first, what missed the cut?

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Malachi Flynn and his career five point per game average

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: dropped fifty points off the bench last night, Angel Reese

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: declares for the WNBA draft, and Bill Nye shines in

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: an eclipse photo shoot. Eclipse Day is what Monday eclipse

28
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: is coming up. Demon's got his eclipsed sunglasses on. Those

29
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: look great. I like those better than last week's sunglass

30
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: or than Tuesday sunglasses. Deman's how are you? Oh they're Victors.

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: Oh nice Victor very good. Yeah, And I've got to

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 2: get to yours before I see you next week. By

33
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: the way, I keep We've referenced a few times on

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: the show. I just want there to be no confusion.

35
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: I keep referencing a wedding that I'm having. I'm obviously married.

36
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: Little personal life context before we then get to the show.

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Danielle and I when we got married eleven years ago

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: but didn't have a wedding. I then promised her, because

39
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: we didn't have any money for it, that when we

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: had the money on our ten year anniversary, we would

41
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: actually I think we might have said five year anniversary,

42
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: and then even at the five year anniversary didn't quite

43
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: have the I thought I had the money at the

44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: five year anniversary, but I underestimated what this wedding was

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: going to entail. So then we kicked it five more years,

46
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: said all right, in your anniversary, will do the big giant,

47
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: awesome wedding called a vow renewal. Ten year anniversary came

48
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: last year. It was Dior's high school graduation. We had

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: other stuff going on, so we kicked it one more year.

50
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: And now next week, my wife and I are actually

51
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: getting married, even though we've already been married. We're doing

52
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: it in Kansas City. So when we refer to the

53
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: wedding where I'll see demanse, where demand is co best

54
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: man along with Danny Parkins, he that I will see

55
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: him there and he'll get his sunglasses there. Thank you

56
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: to everyone in the control room saying congratulations, it is

57
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: a weird thing. Your mom not shockingly said we should

58
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: do a gift registry. I said, I think that is

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: a little improper. I think it's a little rude. I

60
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: don't think we can ask people for gifts for our

61
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: wedding when we've been married for eleven years. But it'll

62
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: be great, Demanse, you're doing well this morning.

63
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. I'm doing great. It's good to see.

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: Right, let's get out you as well. You look great.

65
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Let's get right into it.

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. The Bills contelling you to tear it down.

67
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: They just lost Stefon Diggs yesterday, as you all heard,

68
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: he went to the Texans. So now Josh Allen won't

69
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: be winning any quarterback debates against Patrick Mahomes with these

70
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: wire receivers.

71
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: What's his wire receiver room? Look like it's his top

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: guy's probably Curtis.

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: Samuel Khalil Shakir, Matt Collins, Justin Shorter, kJ Handler, Andy Isabella,

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Brian Thompson, Tyrrell Shavers. Right now, they'll assuredly draft a

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver. There's a lot of butterfly ripple effects from

76
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: this that we'll get to, but go ahead.

77
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: All right, So it seems like you might have been

78
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: correct about the Bills all along. No, Phil, free to

79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: scream I told everybody so, and I'll grab my avacus

80
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: for when you start to talk about.

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: The dead cap hit for Stefan Diggs.

82
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: Well, the dead CAP's pretty simple. It was gonna cost

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: them twenty eight million on the cap for him to

84
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: be on the team. Instead it's gonna cost them thirty

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: one million for him to be off the team. And

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: it's the highest dead cap hit for any non quarterback ever.

87
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: But that's not the story here, and DEMAND say, you're

88
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: right that the story for our listeners is that I

89
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: told you so about the Buffalo Bills. But that is

90
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: not how some are taking it. So I want to

91
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: take you to the Twitter streets this morning that I

92
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: was arguing with again, folks who make their living writing

93
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: about football. So it started with Temo Risk from Pro

94
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: Football Focus Pro Football Focus, which is plastered all over

95
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: Sunday Night football their teams use their ratings. This is

96
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: a real expert, Okay, he is talking down to Warren Sharp,

97
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: calling Warren Sharp a casual for dunking on the Bills,

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: explaining how the Stefan Diggs initial trade and era was

99
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: actually good for the Bills, which, by the way, it

100
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: might have been. Like if you want to say that

101
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: the Digs four years Alan elevating his play. You paid

102
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: Digs twenty million a year, You traded a first for him,

103
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: that turned into Justin Jefferson. That part's not great, but

104
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: you got him in the building. Alan all of a

105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: sudden elevated to the best play of his career that

106
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: first year with him. You were a relevant team, You

107
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: had excellent regular seasons, you had excruciating postseasons, and now

108
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: eventually you're gonna get a second round pick back for him. Fine,

109
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: but I thought that it was dismissive of Warren Sharp.

110
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: So I quote tweeted it because in that tweet, one

111
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: of the things Temo said is elevated their fringe playoff

112
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: team status to quote being eight. Well, he said, Ann,

113
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: but I won't be a grammar, you know, sick of

114
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: fan there being a perennial super Bowl contender, And I

115
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: write quote perennial super Bowl contender. In the four years

116
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: with Digs, the following teams got closer to winning a

117
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And what I'm about to tell you is

118
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: unimpeachable fact that for some reason folks are still in

119
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: denial about. So the Bills had Digs for twenty twenty

120
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. In those four years,

121
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Rams, and the Bucks all won a

122
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Chiefs won two. Do we all agree that

123
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: winning the Super Bowl is closer to winning the Super

124
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: Bowl than not? Okay? Yes, check them off. The Niners,

125
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals, and the Eagles all played in the Super Bowl.

126
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Do we all agree that playing in a super Bowl?

127
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: By the way, they all lost close Super Bowls, as

128
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: did the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl in this run

129
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: as well, but they got blown out. Do we all

130
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: agree that playing in a Super Bowl is closer to

131
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: winning a Super Bowl than not winning than not playing

132
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: in a super Bowl? Yes, now we're at six. Okay.

133
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: What's the closest you can come to making a Super

134
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: Bowl but not making it well? Playing in the conference

135
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: championship game and losing on a heartbreaker? Okay? Or losing close?

136
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: Detroit played a nail bier conference championship game, was up

137
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: seventeen and lost by his score. Green Bay played a

138
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: nail bier conference championship game that came to down five.

139
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: Have a third down against Brady, get off the field,

140
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: but flag comes. That's close. Baltimore driving to be down three,

141
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: leaping for the goal line fumble the football is that close? Okay?

142
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: The Bills in this time frame played in one conference

143
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: championship game got beat by three scores. All right. So

144
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: that is Kansas City, the Rams, the Buck the Niners,

145
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: the Bengals, the Eagles, the Lions, the Packers, and the Ravens.

146
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: Nine teams in a thirty two team league. So more

147
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: than a quarter of the league got closer than the

148
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: Bills did. That's what I wrote, and this is now

149
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: where I get fired up. Timo replies to this, Oh yeah,

150
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I also did a cursory rankings, and let's stay there

151
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: and then I'll get to this other part, cursory rankings

152
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: of teams and their success over the during the Digs

153
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: Allen era. The Chiefs, obviously in first place right, won

154
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: two Super Bowls, went to a third. Tampa second place,

155
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: two trips to the divisional round and won a super Bowl.

156
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: The Rams third place, multiple playoff appearances and won a

157
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. The Niners fourth place, three trips to the

158
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: conference championship game, including a Super Bowl appearance. The Bengals

159
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: fifth place, two trips to the conference championship game and

160
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl appearance. The Eagles sixth place, multiple playoff

161
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: appearances three I think maybe four three, four doesn't matter,

162
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: went to a super Bowl. Baltimore seventh place, multiple trips

163
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: to round two of the playoffs and a close conference

164
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: championship game, Green Bay eighth place, a conference championship game loss,

165
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: another and then two other appearances in round two, and

166
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: then Buffalo ninth place, Dallas tenth place. If you want

167
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: to parse Green Bay versus Buffalo, fine, so they would

168
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: be either eight, nine or ten somewhere in there. The

169
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: Bills resume is one trip to the conference tadle game

170
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: where they got blown out, a close round two loss,

171
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: a blowout round two loss, and then another close round

172
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: two loss. So I write that, and Timo says, here

173
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: is a list of teams, and this is where I

174
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: lose my mind. Who were considered among realistic potential Super

175
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: Bowl winners when January arrived every single year over the

176
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: last four years, Chiefs Bills. End of list, end of story,

177
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: end of any reasonable discussion. So let me set aside

178
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: the patronizing tone and let me explain this.

179
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: Unfortunately I missed this.

180
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: Just because you speak it, just because you say it,

181
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: does not make it true. Just because you decided that

182
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: the Bills were realistic super Bowl contenders does not mean

183
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: they were this year. The Bills team that started six

184
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: and six was never a realistic super Bowl contender. I

185
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: know you so desperately pleaded and claimed they were. But

186
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: they weren't. And you saw it in their first playoff game.

187
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: You saw it in Week seventeen or whenever it was,

188
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: when they struggled to beat who the hell was East

189
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: and stick in the Chargers. You saw it in their

190
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: first playoff game when they struggled to beat Mason Rudolph.

191
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: And you saw it when they lost another home playoff

192
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: game last year, when a Bills team at home got

193
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: annihilated by a team that then lost in the next

194
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: round in Cincinnati. They were not a realistic super Bowl contender.

195
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, when they almost lost to ancient Philip

196
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Rivers and the Colts in round one and then got

197
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: annihilated by the Chiefs in round three, they were not

198
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: a realistic super Bowl You said they were, but they weren't.

199
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, they were a realistic contender. They didn't

200
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: get there. In fact, they lost to a team that

201
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: then lost in the next round and the team that

202
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: won that game then lost in the next round.

203
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna jump they came with a go ahead.

204
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: You say, it's just because you say it doesn't make

205
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: it true, because like there was a chance that they

206
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: could get there and buy off chance, you know, win

207
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: a couple of games in a row and magically be

208
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl with with a little bit of luck.

209
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: But like people were saying that they were a Super

210
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: Bowl contenders because of the the folks that they had

211
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: on the team, and like they got so they just

212
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: can't get it.

213
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: And what I'm saying, and what I'm saying is, at

214
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: some point the games have to matter. At some point

215
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: the results are in. And in twenty twenty, you weren't

216
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: that close because you got dog walked in the conference

217
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: championship game by a team that then lost lost the

218
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl by three scores. Right in twenty twenty one,

219
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: I do think you were really close, but you lost

220
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: a coin flip game, that's the thirteen seconds game to

221
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: a team that then lost in the next round to

222
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: the Bengals. And then that Bengals team lost in the

223
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: next round. So your best team lost to the team

224
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: that lost to the team that lost to the team.

225
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: The next year you got annihilated by a team in

226
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: Cincinnati in your building that then lost the next round.

227
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: And this year you were which was your worst year,

228
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: and you were injured all that you got beat in

229
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: your building by a team that ended up winning the

230
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So no, they weren't one game away in

231
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: any of these spots. Flip a result and explain to

232
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: me why they then win the Super Bowl. They weren't

233
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: a game away. Three of the four years they didn't

234
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: even lose to the eventual champion. The one year they did.

235
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: This year they lost the eventual champion and it was

236
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: in there building in round two. So I replied to

237
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: that to get back to the perennial Super Bowl contender discussion.

238
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: Oh wait, no, that's not even what I want to

239
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: go to here, because that's not what really got me

240
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: fired up. Kevin Cole, who I was like, where do

241
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: I know this name Kevin Cole from? And he used

242
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: to be with Pro Football Focus now he does other

243
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: football stuff. But it was because he condescended to Steven

244
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: Ruiz on Twitter a few months ago, and I jumped

245
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: in because Kevin Cole asserted with all of his chest

246
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: that Lamar Jackson actually not that valuable. That was where

247
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: I knew him from. So I'm gonna all I can

248
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: hold on. I'm gonna get read it to you, so

249
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: you guys know I'm not making this us up. The

250
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: the tweet was uh, and the this was when we

251
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: were talking about the MVP discussion. You can make all

252
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: kinds of legitimate arguments that Lamar has outplayed his numbers,

253
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: but I wonder how many people recognize the ground truth

254
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: can't really be disputed. Plays he's been involved, he being

255
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, he's been involved in haven't been particularly valuable

256
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: this season.

257
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean Lamar Jackson is who Josh Allen who

258
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: People say Josh Allen are amazing during the season.

259
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: Quarter this amazing. Well, here's the thing. Josh has had

260
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: some really good playoff games, some really good playoff games,

261
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,239
Speaker 2: and they have they both have their strengths and their weaknesses.

262
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: And we'll get to Josh in a moment. I'm still

263
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: arguing with people on the internet and I want to

264
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: get back to it. Kevin replies to this guy and

265
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: says he might not know what perennial means. He is

266
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: me in that context, and uh, and then Timo replies,

267
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: it's weird how someone would take the word perennial and

268
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: then look for examples of teams with a quote higher

269
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: noisy peak in terms of a single year playoff run.

270
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: And then he replies, it's not weird when you factor

271
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: in the feedback he gets. If your audience reacts on

272
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: vibes and not facts and logic, you'll lean into going

273
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: for vibes and not addressing actual arguments. Okay, so a

274
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: number of things here. First of all, if you consider

275
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: the goddamn NFL playoffs and the results of the games

276
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: a noisy peak, then go and do something else for

277
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: a living. If the results of the playoff games are

278
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: just ah, noisy, statistically unimportant data set, then do something else.

279
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: It's single elimination pro football. You're never going to have

280
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: an adequate sample size to prove or disprove any of this.

281
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: It's all a little based on vibes and gut and

282
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 2: what you think. Because it's not one hundred and sixty

283
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: two games. You can't run a million simulations and believe

284
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: it or not, you're absolutely sacricynct. Algorithms might not be

285
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: able to fully factor for everything that goes into winning

286
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: or losing football games. So that's first point. The second

287
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: point is, don't condescend to the audience or to me

288
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: and the idea that oh, his dumb audience of people

289
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: who watch and enjoy football, those dumb people that look

290
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: at football as a form of entertainment, they react to

291
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: this stuff. Us smart guys understand it's far more than it.

292
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: Then what is it? Is it just preseason Super Bowl odds?

293
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: Is it just Super Bowl win expectancy as spat out

294
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: by the five thirty eight computers in September? And everything

295
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: else is just noise, like the arrogance to believe your

296
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: preconceived notions, once proven wrong, were actually right and you

297
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: just didn't have the right number of simulations to prove it.

298
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: Get out of here some of us, some of us

299
00:19:54,119 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: saw a team who was overly reliant on a superhuman

300
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: at quarterback who tended to still trace back to some

301
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: of his most juvenile mistakes. Folks for years have poked

302
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: fun at the fact that I still bring up that

303
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, in the waning moments of the first playoff

304
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: game he ever played in, threw a ball backwards over

305
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: over his head because he panicked, and that I said

306
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: that tells me a lot about who he is. Folks like,

307
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, Nick, are you serious? And then you're

308
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: still bringing that up.

309
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 5: Well.

310
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 2: Five years later, in the biggest game he ever played

311
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: against the Kansas City Chiefs at home, the third play

312
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: of the game, he panicked and threw a forward pass

313
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: when he was seven yards past the line of scrimmage

314
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: to try to get a third down. That ended up

315
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: working because the refs missed it. And two hours later,

316
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of that game, before the missed

317
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: field goal, he panicked and tried to stretch for an

318
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: extra yard and fumbled the ball and it was bouncing

319
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: to end the game and end the season, and luckily

320
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: a Chiefs player foolishly tried to scoop and score and

321
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: the Bills got it back. I don't know how you

322
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: account for those moments, but they're real, just like it

323
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: was real and not accounted for in any of your

324
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: juvenile fast sile keep them in a damn lab preseason

325
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: win probabilities. You know what was real? Stefan Diggs doing

326
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: this on the sideline to Josh Allen. That was real.

327
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: You know what was real, Sean McDermott doing this, How concerned.

328
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: Am I very concerned. I'm concerned about Stefan Diggs. You

329
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: know what was real, Stefan's brother saying get him out

330
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: of there. It's all real. And this is maybe even

331
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: more than an argument against the bills or against those

332
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: dopes that I argued with on the internet. This is

333
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: kind of an argument against artificial intelligence, the thrust of

334
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: AI and robots into our lives versus what human beings know.

335
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: You watched the bills and you said, ooh boy, Sean

336
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 2: McDermott looks nervous, ooh boy, Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs.

337
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: I I can't tell you why. Specifically, it felt in

338
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: my gut that Diggs and Alan's sideline interactions were more

339
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: worrisome than Travis Kelcey literally assaulting Andy Reid on the sideline.

340
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: But something in my heart and my head tells me

341
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: they're different. I can't prove it to you, but I

342
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: know Travis and Andy love each other and it's gonna

343
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: be fine. And I can't prove it to you, but

344
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: I know Stefan and Josh are not on the same page.

345
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: And here we are, and the bills just got worse.

346
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: You know how, I know they got worse. Their general

347
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: manager had a press conference yesterday and said, we're worse.

348
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: That's how I know. And so I I'm here to

349
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: tell you that some of this was not that hard

350
00:23:52,480 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: to see coming. And the idea that the Bills had

351
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: an era is an insult to eras they were a

352
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: pretty good team for the last four years. They were

353
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 2: a touch in this timeframe better than the Cowboys and

354
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: a touch worse than the Packers. That's it. They weren't

355
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: some juggernaut. It was never Brady Manning, Mahomes Allen. It's

356
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: an insult to everyone in that conversation to say that

357
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: they weren't the Chief's biggest threat. You know how I

358
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: know because the team with the better quarterback and the

359
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this steadier coach with a

360
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: defense that instead of every year being great in the

361
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: regular season and falling apart in the playoffs, was mediocre

362
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: in the regular season. Next in the playoffs in Cincinnati,

363
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: that team actually beat Kansas City. And I understand that

364
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: the AFC title game results are you know, a noisy peak,

365
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 2: but it's the way we measure athletes and teams, guys,

366
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: and now here is the thing. I will tell you

367
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: there is a chance for the biggest Josh Allen fans

368
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: demons to be able to get their get back and

369
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: to be able to use a lot of my quotes

370
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: against me.

371
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: And you know how by Josh Allen performing huh.

372
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: Well yeah, now it's a fair fight, right to Alan

373
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: Mahomes Mahomes Allen one A one B one B one A. Okay,

374
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: how would Patrick Mahomes do if his all Pro wide

375
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: receiver was traded in the offseason? Well, I don't know,

376
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: could that ever happen?

377
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

378
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: It did happen. Oh did they replace him with a

379
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: number one receiver?

380
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

381
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: No, they just had to draft somebody or somebody's So

382
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: how did that go?

383
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

384
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: He won the league MVP and then and was the

385
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: highest scoring team in the league and won the Super Bowl.

386
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: And then the next year with what was considered the

387
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: worst receiving corps, not just in the NFL, but in

388
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: years of the NFL. That's what I was told all

389
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: year the Chiefs team, the receiving corps is so bad

390
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: that a team with Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes in a

391
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: great defense, that receiving corps is so bad it will tear,

392
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: pull the entire team down. Won the Super Bowl again.

393
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 2: So now this is a great moment for all of

394
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: the folks who have argued Mahomes Allen is a real debate.

395
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: Now you don't have to deal with the distraction of

396
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 2: Stepan Diggs, you don't have to deal with any of that.

397
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: Go do it. I'm excited to how this turns out.

398
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 2: So here's a question I have for you, Demanse before

399
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: we move on to the Texans. And I texted our

400
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: group today that was gonna try to go a little fasterday.

401
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: We went twenty five minutes on the first topic. Can

402
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: we put up that Stefan Diggs tweet? So here's my question,

403
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: and I don't know the answer. So Stefan Diggs the

404
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: night before he was traded, replies to a tweet from

405
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: a couple days before saying, does Josh benefit from having

406
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: a top tier receiver? Yes? Is it essential to Is

407
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: Digs essential to Josh's success? No? And Digs on Tuesday

408
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: night tweets you sure, question Mark Wednesday morning, he's traded.

409
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: So here's my question to you, Demanse. There's not a

410
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: wrong or right answer here. I'm just kind of doing

411
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: like a one person straw pole. Do you think Diggs

412
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: knew the trade was coming when he sent this or

413
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: do you think him sending this was the last straw

414
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: that then initiated them to pull the trigger on the trade.

415
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 5: I think knew he was getting traded.

416
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: So you think he already knew?

417
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so go ahead, Yeah, No, I think he I

418
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 4: think he already knew. I mean, I feel like Stefan

419
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: Diggs has wanted out for a while, and I don't

420
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: think I don't know if he tweets that like and

421
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 4: knows in the back of his mind there's a chance

422
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: that he could still be on the bills, I just

423
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: don't think he'd do.

424
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: That, so so I think it. So here's the part

425
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: of it. I think you're right. But what I find

426
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: intriguing is if he knew. They did a really good

427
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: job of keeping it quiet, because there were no leaps

428
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: that this was coming before it happened. It wasn't like,

429
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, potential. You're right that people

430
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: thought Digs at some point could be moved, but it

431
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: wasn't like there were reports the night before where agents.

432
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: Does to strike. He was the type of guy to

433
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: do it a little little sly like that.

434
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe think I mean, okay, so that's where you're at.

435
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on now to the Texans side

436
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: of things. Listen, the Bills, congrats guys on your three

437
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: consecutive AFC bronze medals. We'll never see a team like

438
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: you again. Uh oh, we got to oh this See

439
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: that's not nice. I mean, that's not nice. It is

440
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: what it is, all right, next.

441
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: All right, So on the other side of it, the

442
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 4: Texans now have Stefan Diggs obviously c J. Stroud on

443
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: his rookie deal, and they've got Joe Nixon or Joe

444
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: Mixon and the running game, and they've beefed up the

445
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 4: defense a little bit. With that said, do you think

446
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 4: the Texans are the number one threat to the Chiefs

447
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 4: the AFC?

448
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: I think you can make a really strong case the

449
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: Texans are the best team in the AFC other than

450
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: Kansas City. So I want to talk about the Texans,

451
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: but I don't want to forget about the butterfly effect

452
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: part of this that I said, So you want to

453
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: know my galaxy brain like butterfly effect of the Digs

454
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: trade demonse, What's something that now I now believe the

455
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions are going to trade for t Higgins. So

456
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: you might say, why what are the dots there? So

457
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: the Lions, I think, believe they need a receiver. The

458
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: Lions are drafting twenty nine. The Bengals are obviously shopping Higgins.

459
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: They were going to trade Higgins or I shouldn't.

460
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: Wait, I should We're going to trade something happened with Brown.

461
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: No, but they want a second receiver. They just yeah,

462
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: it's just they Jamison Williams hasn't really worked out the

463
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: way they had hoped, and I you know, they they

464
00:30:53,480 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: were connected to whatever exactly right. No, they have amenros

465
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: because to be honest, I think they need some help defensively.

466
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: But offensively, the offensive line's great. I'm on ros. Great.

467
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: They just drafted Gibbs. They like golf. They Laporta's excellent.

468
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: You know. The only spot on the offense you really

469
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: look at is receiver and then some help on defense

470
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: for Aiden Hutchinson. Okay, so I think the Lions were

471
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: planning at twenty nine to draft a receiver. Well, who

472
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: drafts at twenty eight Buffalo? Now Detroit knows Okay, obviously

473
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Harrison Neighbors and a doonsay are gone in the top ten.

474
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: After that, you have Ady Mitchell, you have Brian Thomas

475
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: from LSU as the fourth and fifth or fifth and

476
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: fourth receivers. Buffalo is definitely taking a receiver. So now

477
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: we're down to drafting the fifth receiver. Pittsburgh is a

478
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: potential receive team. Cincinnati, if they trade T Higgins elsewhere,

479
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: is a potential receiver team. We could be sitting there

480
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: at twenty nine and at best get the fifth receiver

481
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: and maybe get the sixth or seventh. So I think

482
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: Detroit now is more likely to trade for T. Higgins.

483
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: So that's a little kind of butterfly effect piece of it.

484
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: Now to the Texans, I have seen a lot of

485
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, the Texans. This is a blueprint every

486
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 2: team should follow. Okay, Well, I mean if the blueprint

487
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: was draft a quarterback at two and higher the Niners

488
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: decordinator as your head coach, then the Jets would be

489
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: in great shape because they followed that blueprint and they're

490
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: a disaster. Okay. So also the Texans blueprint of be

491
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 2: truly horrific for three consecutive years, and in those three years,

492
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: go through four different coaches before you finally get the

493
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: right one, and oh yeah, by the way, pull off

494
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: an all time trade heist in getting three first round

495
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: picks for Deshaun Watson. My point is that part of

496
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: the blueprint is not really duplicable. You can't really be like,

497
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: all right, here's the play boys. We're gonna get one

498
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: of the greatest trade halls ever. We're then going to

499
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: be truly awful for three straight seasons to get even

500
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: more blue chip picks, but not quite awful enough to

501
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: ever have the number one pick of the draft. But

502
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: the team drafting number one is gonna take the smallest

503
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: quarterback who's ever played in the NFL. So we're gonna

504
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: get the right guy at number two. And by the way,

505
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna be able to get the hottest coaching prospect

506
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: on the market because he's a legend for our franchise

507
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: who played middle linebacker for us and wants to come

508
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: save the team he played for. That is not something

509
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: a lot of teams can file. It's not like you're

510
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: in Carolina, You're like, all right, boys, here's the plan.

511
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: We're just gonna be all for a number of years,

512
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: and then Luke Keikley is gonna come in and save

513
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: us along with a quarterback we draft. That's not a plan.

514
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: But the part of the plan that is replicable, I

515
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: should say, is if you've gotten that guy at quarterback, spend, spend, spend,

516
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: spin spind. Yes, while he's cheap, go put talent around him.

517
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: And I think Diggs will be awesome this year. A

518
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: motivated Stepan Diggs. I think you'll be really good for

519
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: at least one more year. Age is catching up to

520
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: him a little bit. But you have Nico Collins, you

521
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: have Tank Dell coming back from the injury. You have

522
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs, you got maybe the best left tackle in

523
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: sport and tunsl you're building the defense. Like I think

524
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: the Texans are excellent, excellent. Before this trade, I had

525
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: them neck and neck with Cincinnati as the biggest threats

526
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 2: in the AFC outside of Kansas City. And you know

527
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: what that means, demanse, Oh my goodness, I'm so excited

528
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: for it.

529
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 5: What is that? What does that mean?

530
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: Because you've got it, You've got one.

531
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: Go ahead.

532
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 4: I've got a question. Now, I've got a question for you,

533
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna let you finish your Oh okay, do

534
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 4: you think okay?

535
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:11,959
Speaker 5: Go ahead?

536
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 4: It's bad Okay, yeah, So do you think the Prince

537
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 4: will ever win an AFC South Game South game again,

538
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: or well a seulth title?

539
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 2: Uh vision Listen, I this offseason not been good for

540
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 2: my guy, right, they're not gonna lie. I don't like

541
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: the moves the Jags have made. The Jags so like.

542
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: The Jags had the number one pick the next in,

543
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 2: took Trevor the next year so bad, got the number

544
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: one pick again, and they've squandered the whole thing. They're

545
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: out of here, signing Gabe Davis to thirteen million a year,

546
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: Trent Bulky keeps getting jobs and keeps being terrible. So yeah,

547
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think Trevor's awesome, but I

548
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: think that right now they are not the favorites in

549
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: their own division, that's for sure. I agree with that

550
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: piece of it.

551
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

552
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: It's not good for my guy to have this Texans

553
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: team and CJ in his division. There's no way around it.

554
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 2: But to be fair, you're supposed to have at least

555
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: two excellent quarterbacks in each division. The AFC East right

556
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: now doesn't. And I for all this trash I talk

557
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: on trash is the wrong word truth I tell about

558
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 2: Josh He's obviously an excellent quarterback. I don't think they

559
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: have another excellent quarterback in that division. But the AFC

560
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: North has Lamar and Burrow, the AFC West has Mahomes

561
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: and Herbert, the AFC South, it's fair for them to

562
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: have Stroud and Trevor. But that's not what I was

563
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: going to get to. What I was going to say

564
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: is this, so the initial so we had Brady Manning.

565
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: Brady Manning was the thing, right, and then a couple

566
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 2: of years into Mahomes's career after he won the MVP,

567
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: and shout out to Pete Sweeney for doing the screenshots

568
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: of all of these exact conversations over the last five

569
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: years on TV, but we got Mahomes. Watson is that

570
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: the new Brady Manning, and then Mahomes annihilated him in

571
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 2: a twenty four to nothing playoff game. Down twenty four

572
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: ended up, you know, I think winning fifty one to

573
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: thirty one, and then you know, his career kind of

574
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: went askew after that, crossed him off the list. Then

575
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: Lamar unanimous MVP. Lamar beat Mahomes in the regular season Mahomes.

576
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: Lamar is that the new Brady Manning and then Lamar

577
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: had his own postseason struggles, seemed to be over him

578
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: and then lost to Mahomes in the playoff game. Cross

579
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: him off the list. Then it was Mahomes Allen, that's

580
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: the new Brady Manning. And then Mahomes played him three

581
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: times in the playoffs to beat him all three times,

582
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 2: crossed him off the list. Then it was Mahomes Borrow,

583
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Burrough actually won a game, and then

584
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: Mahomes being the AFC title game. Unfortunately Joe Burrow got

585
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,959
Speaker 2: hurt and see mister the playoffs, cross him off the list.

586
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 2: We're about to get Mahomes v. Quarterback ATX version five

587
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: point zero. Mahomes Stroud is that the new Brady Manning.

588
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 4: And is like, you can yet I don't know if

589
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 4: you can cross him off yet. Aget he did like

590
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 4: the Chiefs beats them last time.

591
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, listen, and it's hard to go undefeated,

592
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: you know, against the team in the playoffs the way

593
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs said with the Bills, and so credit to

594
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 2: the Bengals. That's fine. I think that Burrow is now

595
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: all of a sudden coming off a lost season and

596
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: is probably gonna not have t Higgins. But we'll see

597
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: like that that. My point is Stroud's the next man up.

598
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: But as I told you guys over the last few years,

599
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: and I will say again, it is not a Brady

600
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 2: versus Manning scenario. It is a tiger versus the field scenario.

601
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 2: And you can pick which of these quarterbacks is VJ. Singh,

602
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: which one's David Duvall, which ones aren't he L's, and

603
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: which one's Phil Mickelson. But it is not Brady Manning.

604
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: It is tiger versus the field. All right, let's take

605
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: a quick break, come back, talk a little Lakers, and

606
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: play a little right ends. We'll do all that next.

607
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: What's Right? All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right,

608
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: a little breaking news Julius Randall having season ending shoulder surgery,

609
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 2: which is I mean, listen, he has been not a

610
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: good playoff performer. But that's brutal for the Knicks because

611
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: they did look really good when they were after the

612
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: Og trade, when they were at full strength, and now

613
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: you're not going to see that team again, So that's

614
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 2: brutal for them. So that's some breaking news for the show. Also,

615
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: shout up to this show for prematurely being correct about

616
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: the lsu IOWA rating. So if you were listening Tuesday,

617
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 2: we had the breaking news of this show of lsu

618
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: Iowa doing twelve point two million people. We brought it

619
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: to you before anyone had it, including Nielsen, because we

620
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: misread a tweet about something else, but we reported it

621
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: as twelve point two million.

622
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 3: Oh we didn't correct.

623
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 5: Man, by the way, that was Meg's doing.

624
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: Okay, well, exactly a premonition by Meg. So we then

625
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: apologized because we thought, oh man, we got tricked that

626
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: the official numbers aren't out. Then the official numbers came out,

627
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: there's twelve point three million, So we thought Meg had

628
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 2: it first, then didn't have it, and then was had it.

629
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: Definitely had it first and was right. So unlike this,

630
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: so unlike the uh, the lsu IOWA rating, this is news.

631
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: We have triple check verified. But it turns out we

632
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: didn't need triple check verify the lsu IOWA rating because

633
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: we were just ten hours before everyone on it. Good

634
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 2: job by us there, all right, Demansey, Let's do Lakers.

635
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 5: Thank you Megs for damas.

636
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 4: The Lakers have been the hottest team in the NBA

637
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 4: the past couple of weeks, but they're still at the

638
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: nine seed currently, do you think they have a path

639
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: out of the play in or do they at least

640
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 4: have a path to avoid being the bottom of the

641
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 4: play in.

642
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is what's so interesting. The MAVs, Sons,

643
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: and Pelicans have forty five wins. The Kings and Lakers

644
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: have forty four wins. So it sounds super close, but

645
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: it's not. Because the law you can make up wins,

646
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 2: you can't make up losses, right, So the wins don't

647
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: matter that much. What matters is the losses. The MAVs

648
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: have thirty losses, the Sons, Pelicans, Kings have thirty one losses.

649
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: The Lakers have thirty three losses. Okay, and the Lakers

650
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: are the nine seed. So the question is, can't the

651
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: Lakers cannot realistically pass two teams and get out of

652
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: the play in. But you guys know how important I

653
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 2: think it is for them to be in the seven

654
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: eight part of the play in? Versus then can they

655
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: catch one team? So you go through it and you

656
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 2: realize it's harder than you think. So the Kings are

657
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: the team that I think folks believe they have the

658
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: best chance of catching the problem with the Kings is

659
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers lost the tiebreaker to them. So if the

660
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 2: Kings and Lakers finished with the same record, the Kings

661
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: get the higher seed. Right the Suns, the Lakers have

662
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker with, but they're playing great basketball right now.

663
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: They had this really tough stretch of games, but then

664
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, they got Denver without Jokic and so that

665
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 2: that made it not quite as tough. Are they gonna

666
00:42:54,320 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: the Suns Probably not gonna catch them. So the people

667
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: need to be watching is the New Orleans Pelicans. The

668
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: Lakers right now have the tiebreaker with New Orleans, and

669
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: in the final game of the year, they play New Orleans.

670
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: So what the Lakers need is to play one game

671
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 2: better than New Orleans the rest of the way and

672
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: have and then beat New Orleans in the final game

673
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: of the year. So if you think the Lakers can go,

674
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 2: they've got five left, four and one right. So they're

675
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: home for Cleveland, home for Minnesota, home for Golden State,

676
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: at Memphis, at New Orleans. Say they lose Minnesota, which

677
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: is the second night of a back to back, and

678
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: they win the other games and they're forty eight and

679
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: thirty four. What that means is you need New Orleans

680
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: to lose two of the following home for San anton

681
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: at the Suns, at the hopeless Blazers, at the Kings

682
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: at Golden State on the second night of a back

683
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: to back, and then they obviously play the Lakers. So

684
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: if you're trying, if you're hoping, the Lakers can move

685
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: up from nine at Phoenix, at Sacramento at Golden State,

686
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: those three games for New Orleans, you need them to

687
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 2: lose two of them, and you need the Lakers to

688
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: take care of business and only lose once more the

689
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: rest of the way. If that happens, they can move

690
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: up to the seven eight game, and I think go

691
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: on a real run if they are stuck in the

692
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: nine to ten spot and they have to win just

693
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: to move on to game two of the play in

694
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: and then win a road game just to move on

695
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: to the actual playoffs, to then play a rested for

696
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: a week one seed no matter who that is, that

697
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: path I think is not viable. They've got to move

698
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 2: up at least one spot. If you are in the

699
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: nine ten spot, what you basically have to do is

700
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: win six of nine to get out of Round one.

701
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: You're back to back playing games and then four of

702
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: seven without home court advantage, you know, without arrest advantage

703
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: at all against a one seed. Too hard. So the

704
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 2: Lakers are playing great, Lebron is playing out of his mind.

705
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: But that start to the season twenty four and twenty

706
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: five right now looms incredibly large. And the Kings, all

707
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 2: those Kings games that they just absolutely Game three of

708
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: the season they lose in overtime to the Kings game,

709
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: then they lose. The Kings beat him by fifteen, The

710
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 2: Kings beat him by ten, The Kings beat him by thirteen.

711
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: Going zero to four against the Kings could be the

712
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: difference in the whole year. You'll win one of those

713
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: games and you're tied with the Kings and the standings.

714
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: You win two of them and you're the five seed

715
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: right now. Just a brutal spot, all right, Demon's what's next?

716
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 5: Crazy?

717
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, Bronni James is reportedly entering the transfer portal

718
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 4: after the USC's coach left for SMU. Lebron didn't confirm that,

719
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: but he says, Bronni's got some pretty tough decisions to

720
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: make moving forward. You said you think one reason Lebron

721
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 4: wants to stay in La is because of Bronni. So

722
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 4: with that being said, do you expect Lebron to follow

723
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 4: Bronnie wherever he goes.

724
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: So here's what I would say. If I were a

725
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 2: die hard Laker fan, I would be monitoring this. One

726
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 2: of the reasons that I think it has been just

727
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 2: assumed that Lebron is going who's a free agent this

728
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: offseason if he wants to be that Lebron is going

729
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: to stay with the Lakers this offseason is because Bronni's

730
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: at USC. Well, if Bronni leaves, could I see a

731
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: scenario where Bronni and where Bronni's college decision and Lebron's

732
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: free agency decision are correlated? Is based on no like

733
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: inside or intel, just you know, just logic. As a father. Yeah,

734
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: if all of a sudden, demand was thinking about moving

735
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: it from LA and I had the opportunity to pick

736
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: any city to work in this summer, would I at

737
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: least talk with him and be like, Hey, where are

738
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: you looking at? Is there a possibility we could work

739
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: in the same city? Of course, obviously, of course, and

740
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: so I think it is. I think the chances of

741
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 2: Lebron leaving the Lakers, however small they are, increase slightly

742
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: if Bronnie ends up deciding to transfer from USC All right,

743
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: let's go on to write INDs.

744
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 3: Demon's go ahead, you where do you where could you

745
00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 3: see Bronni going?

746
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know so that part, and I don't

747
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: think he's gonna declare for the draft, and I don't

748
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are connecting him to Ducaine.

749
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: So if people don't know why he's being connected to Ducaine,

750
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: here's why Ducaine. When Lebron was a junior in high school,

751
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: Ducaine hired Frank Dambrot, the coach of Lebron's high school team,

752
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: to be their head coach Ducaine University, hoping that if

753
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: bron ended up not going straight to the NBA, maybe

754
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: he'd go there. Lebron's teammate Drew Joyce, the third from

755
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: that high school state championship team, then ended up becoming

756
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 2: a coach himself, ended up being the assistant at Ducaine,

757
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: and just got the head coaching job at Ducaine because

758
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: Dan Brot twenty years later retired this past offseason after

759
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: they won their first NCAA tournament game. So because of

760
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: the family, I know some people have connected Bronnie to

761
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: Ducane he'd obviously be featured more there, he'd be one

762
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: of the highest ranked recruits that team's ever gotten. I

763
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 2: don't again, so I think that is on the board.

764
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I think that's likely, but I do

765
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 2: think that this is something intriguing to follow over the summer,

766
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: particularly depending on how the Lakers season ends. All right,

767
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 2: let's go to right ends.

768
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 5: All right, We're gonna start off with Joel Jewel.

769
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 4: Embiid returned to action versus I love that graphic return

770
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: to action versus Okac Tuesday and came up clutchlely. Embiid

771
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 4: was visibly exhausted at the end of the game, but

772
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 4: Philly still has six games to get him back up

773
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 4: to speed. The seventy six ers ceiling with embiidback is.

774
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 2: I mean their ceiling is winning the title. I mean

775
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 2: that the I mean they have an excellent roster, well rounded. Maxi's,

776
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 2: you know, great, Darryl's done a really good job of

777
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 2: filling out the roster, and Embiid was playing the best

778
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: basketball of his career before he got hurt. Now, it's

779
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: gonna be a really tough putt, but their ceiling is

780
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: they could win the title. Now They've never even made

781
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: a conference finals since Iverson was there. But that's their ceiling,

782
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: all right. Next.

783
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 4: Uh, if you thought the Bucks losing to the Wizards

784
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 4: is bad, things got even worse against the Grizzlies. After

785
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: back to back losses to lowly opponents, Doc now has

786
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 4: more losses than Adrian Griffin had Milwaukee. Milwaukee's problems are.

787
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 2: Right now too many to count. Gosh, I mean Doc

788
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 2: has now blamed the trainers, the bus driver, the traveling

789
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: secretary for the team. Yeah, I mean he was like,

790
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: we do everything bad on the road, Like from top down.

791
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 2: Doc is finding people to blame. Dame's not playing right now,

792
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 2: They're they're the Bucks. The upside is still there, but man,

793
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: oh man, right now they look like a team that

794
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 2: is not ready to compete for a championship. All right.

795
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 4: Next, the Nuggets, the Thunder, and the Timberwolves are all

796
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 4: neck and neck in the West with only a few

797
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 4: games left. Who pulls away the one seed in the

798
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 4: West will be.

799
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: Well. So Minnesota has at the Suns, at the Lakers,

800
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 2: home for the Wizards, at the Nuggets, home for the Hawks,

801
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 2: home for the Suns. Left, that's a brutal finishing kick.

802
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: The Nuggets have at the Clippers, then home for the Hawks,

803
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 2: at the Jazz, home for the Timberwolves, at the Spurs

804
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: at the Grizzlies. That is not a tough finishing kick.

805
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: And the thunder they've got at the Pacers at the Hornets,

806
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: home for the King's home for the Spurs, home for

807
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: the Bucks, home for the MAVs, that's mediocre. What is Jamal?

808
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: When is Jamal Murray? Daniel should know this. When is

809
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray supposed to be back? He's questionable for tonight.

810
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: So for the the Nuggets gotta get Jamal Murray back

811
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: right now. My money would assuming Jamal Murray comes back,

812
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 2: my money would be on Denver. If not, I think

813
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City could steal it. I also think yep. And

814
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 2: I also think that the number one seed, because you

815
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 2: don't get to draft your playoff opponent, the number one

816
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: seed might not be that valuable depending on how the

817
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: postseason the play in tournament ends up. All right, next.

818
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 4: Last week we saw Luca chirp the Kings for not

819
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 4: drafting him. Tonight he faces the Hawks, who traded his

820
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 4: rights on draft night. Are we in store for another

821
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 4: dominant performance tonight versus the Hawks.

822
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I have a thirty five point triple double. The

823
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 2: Hawks can't They're not going to guard and the Maps

824
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 2: just lost. Lucas still is I think holding out, you know,

825
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 2: tiny hope that he could win a league MVP. Yeah,

826
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: So I think this is uh the I think this

827
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 2: is gonna be a monster stat night for Luca.

828
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 4: All Right, last, the men's and women's finals four final

829
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 4: fours are coming up this weekend. What are you most

830
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 4: looking forward to Your favorite college headline heading into the

831
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 4: weekend is.

832
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I hope that I hope that we get it.

833
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: Looks like Yukon's gonna run away with it. On the

834
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 2: men's side of things, I think Yukon's big men against

835
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 2: Zach Edy would be fun to watch, But I'm most

836
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: interested in the women's side of things. Page and Yukon

837
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: are a great story, but I'm rooting for Caitlin. South

838
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 2: Carolina is going to annihilate NC State and then you

839
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 2: have Caitlin against South Carolina, and I want people to

840
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 2: understand what South Carolina has done over the last few years.

841
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: So South Carolina women's basketball in the twenty twenty two

842
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: season was thirty five and two and won the national championship. Okay,

843
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: South Carolina women's basketball last year was thirty six and

844
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: one and the one loss was in the semifinal to

845
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. South Carolina women's basketball this year is thirty

846
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: six and zero and the huge favorite to win the

847
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: national championship. Okay, So in South Carolina women's basketball's basketball,

848
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: last we do the math year, seventy nine games they are,

849
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: is that right?

850
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 5: No?

851
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: That is right? Hold on, yeah, they're seventy eight and one,

852
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 2: and the one loss came to Caitlan, right, and they

853
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 2: won a national title, and our police to win another one.

854
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: If they end up being over the last two years, demonse,

855
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 2: just the last two years. Right now, they're thirty six

856
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 2: and oh. This year they make the national championship game,

857
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: they're thirty seven and oh. Last year they were thirty

858
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 2: six and oh going into the semifinal and Caitlin beat them.

859
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 2: If they end up the next last two years seventy

860
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: three and two with both losses being to Caitlin Clark

861
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 2: in Iowa, that will be one of the most remarkable.

862
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that is pretty unbelievable. Man. They win the title,

863
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: they are then the undefeated defending national champions and she

864
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: beats them in the final four. They then come back

865
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 2: the next year, they're undefeated going into the final four.

866
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 2: If she then beats them in the championship game to

867
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: win the title, oh my goodness, gracious be unbelievable. All right,

868
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 2: answer listener questions next, What's right? All right, welcome back

869
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 2: in What's Right with Nick Grady. I got a run,

870
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: so we'll do this quick. The producers tell me that

871
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 2: Luca having a thirty four point triple double is plus

872
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: three ten. I mean, that's a bad that's a square bet.

873
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 2: But I think he's gonna do it. I think I

874
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: think he's gonna have thirty five points in a triple

875
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 2: double tonight. Again, he says, dude, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, spik dude,

876
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 2: it's one of the things I like about him. Demon's say,

877
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 2: read G and G productions questions because it's about Luca.

878
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 4: G and G production said Nick. What separates guys like

879
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 4: Luca that plays similar to Lebron from being as dominant

880
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 4: as he went as he was in his prime?

881
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: Well, I think Luca is as dominant as Lebron was

882
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: offensively in his prime. The difference is Lebron and his

883
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 2: prime was the best defensive player in the league, and

884
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 2: so the and like Luca is a better rain shooter

885
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 2: than Lebron was early in his career. Lebron obviously a

886
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 2: far better athlete, but Lebron also, you know, Lebron didn't

887
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 2: win championship it until he had better teammates around him.

888
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 2: And we've seen Luca carry a team to the conference finals.

889
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 2: So you know, I think that, uh, I think that's legit.

890
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 2: And then ask the follow up that the producers wrote

891
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: in there under the GM.

892
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 4: This question, Oh yeah, is that is that why Luca

893
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 4: hates the Sons too? Because they drafted eight and over him.

894
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, I think he hates the Sons because of Devin Booker.

895
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: I actually think it's just about the dislike Devin Booker. Wow. Wow,

896
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't like that.

897
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 4: I hate the Sons, but I really don't like Devin Booker,

898
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 4: and I don't like he's He's pretty annoying.

899
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: You know what, I get it. I understand that. And

900
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 2: by the way, Booker played great last night. He's been

901
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: playing great. He had fifty the other night. He's been

902
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 2: playing great. All Right, I gotta run, I gotta get

903
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 2: to work. I also have to have my uh, blazer.

904
