0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in what'ch right with Me? Great Episode two twenty seven.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>How'd you spend your morning? I spent mine arguing with

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>folks on the internet. After on Tuesday I said, don't

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>argue with people on the internet. This was a little different,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>though this was an anonymous strangers. This is supposed experts talking

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>down to me. I think that there is an element

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of maybe because of the job I have, or how

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I carry myself or whatever, the reasons are that some

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of these folks think that I can't get down in

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the analytical streets the way they can. No the idea

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.639
<v Speaker 2>that you're going to all of a sudden be able

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 2>to outsmart me in one of these arguments. It's it

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>would be insulting if it weren't so amusing. And that

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>is actually where we're going to start the show when

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>we talk about the Bills. But first, what missed the cut?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Malachi Flynn and his career five point per game average

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>dropped fifty points off the bench last night, Angel Reese

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>declares for the WNBA draft, and Bill Nye shines in

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>an eclipse photo shoot. Eclipse Day is what Monday eclipse

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>is coming up. Demon's got his eclipsed sunglasses on. Those

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>look great. I like those better than last week's sunglass

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>or than Tuesday sunglasses. Deman's how are you? Oh they're Victors.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice Victor very good. Yeah, And I've got to

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.839
<v Speaker 2>get to yours before I see you next week. By

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the way, I keep We've referenced a few times on

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>the show. I just want there to be no confusion.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I keep referencing a wedding that I'm having. I'm obviously married.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Little personal life context before we then get to the show.

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Danielle and I when we got married eleven years ago

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 2>but didn't have a wedding. I then promised her, because

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have any money for it, that when we

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>had the money on our ten year anniversary, we would

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>actually I think we might have said five year anniversary,

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>and then even at the five year anniversary didn't quite

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>have the I thought I had the money at the

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 2>five year anniversary, but I underestimated what this wedding was

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 2>going to entail. So then we kicked it five more years,

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>said all right, in your anniversary, will do the big giant,

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>awesome wedding called a vow renewal. Ten year anniversary came

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>last year. It was Dior's high school graduation. We had

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>other stuff going on, so we kicked it one more year.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And now next week, my wife and I are actually

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>getting married, even though we've already been married. We're doing

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 2>it in Kansas City. So when we refer to the

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>wedding where I'll see demanse, where demand is co best

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 2>man along with Danny Parkins, he that I will see

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>him there and he'll get his sunglasses there. Thank you

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 2>to everyone in the control room saying congratulations, it is

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>a weird thing. Your mom not shockingly said we should

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>do a gift registry. I said, I think that is

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a little improper. I think it's a little rude. I

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think we can ask people for gifts for our

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 2>wedding when we've been married for eleven years. But it'll

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>be great, Demanse, you're doing well this morning.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great. I'm doing great. It's good to see.

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, let's get out you as well. You look great.

0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's get right into it.

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, sir. The Bills contelling you to tear it down.

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 4>They just lost Stefon Diggs yesterday, as you all heard,

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 4>he went to the Texans. So now Josh Allen won't

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 4>be winning any quarterback debates against Patrick Mahomes with these

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 4>wire receivers.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>What's his wire receiver room? Look like it's his top

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 3>guy's probably Curtis.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Samuel Khalil Shakir, Matt Collins, Justin Shorter, kJ Handler, Andy Isabella,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Brian Thompson, Tyrrell Shavers. Right now, they'll assuredly draft a

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver. There's a lot of butterfly ripple effects from

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>this that we'll get to, but go ahead.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 4>All right, So it seems like you might have been

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 4>correct about the Bills all along. No, Phil, free to

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 4>scream I told everybody so, and I'll grab my avacus

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 4>for when you start to talk about.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 3>The dead cap hit for Stefan Diggs.

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, the dead CAP's pretty simple. It was gonna cost

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>them twenty eight million on the cap for him to

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>be on the team. Instead it's gonna cost them thirty

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>one million for him to be off the team. And

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the highest dead cap hit for any non quarterback ever.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>But that's not the story here, and DEMAND say, you're

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>right that the story for our listeners is that I

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>told you so about the Buffalo Bills. But that is

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>not how some are taking it. So I want to

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>take you to the Twitter streets this morning that I

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>was arguing with again, folks who make their living writing

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>about football. So it started with Temo Risk from Pro

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Football Focus Pro Football Focus, which is plastered all over

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Sunday Night football their teams use their ratings. This is

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>a real expert, Okay, he is talking down to Warren Sharp,

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>calling Warren Sharp a casual for dunking on the Bills,

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>explaining how the Stefan Diggs initial trade and era was

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>actually good for the Bills, which, by the way, it

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 2>might have been. Like if you want to say that

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the Digs four years Alan elevating his play. You paid

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Digs twenty million a year, You traded a first for him,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that turned into Justin Jefferson. That part's not great, but

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you got him in the building. Alan all of a

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>sudden elevated to the best play of his career that

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 2>first year with him. You were a relevant team, You

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 2>had excellent regular seasons, you had excruciating postseasons, and now

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>eventually you're gonna get a second round pick back for him. Fine,

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>but I thought that it was dismissive of Warren Sharp.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>So I quote tweeted it because in that tweet, one

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>of the things Temo said is elevated their fringe playoff

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>team status to quote being eight. Well, he said, Ann,

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 2>but I won't be a grammar, you know, sick of

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>fan there being a perennial super Bowl contender, And I

0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>write quote perennial super Bowl contender. In the four years

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with Digs, the following teams got closer to winning a

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. And what I'm about to tell you is

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>unimpeachable fact that for some reason folks are still in

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 2>denial about. So the Bills had Digs for twenty twenty

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. In those four years,

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs, the Rams, and the Bucks all won a

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. Chiefs won two. Do we all agree that

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>winning the Super Bowl is closer to winning the Super

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Bowl than not? Okay? Yes, check them off. The Niners,

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals, and the Eagles all played in the Super Bowl.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Do we all agree that playing in a super Bowl?

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>By the way, they all lost close Super Bowls, as

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>did the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl in this run

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>as well, but they got blown out. Do we all

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 2>agree that playing in a Super Bowl is closer to

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>winning a Super Bowl than not winning than not playing

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>in a super Bowl? Yes, now we're at six. Okay.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>What's the closest you can come to making a Super

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Bowl but not making it well? Playing in the conference

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 2>championship game and losing on a heartbreaker? Okay? Or losing close?

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Detroit played a nail bier conference championship game, was up

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 2>seventeen and lost by his score. Green Bay played a

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>nail bier conference championship game that came to down five.

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Have a third down against Brady, get off the field,

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.959
<v Speaker 2>but flag comes. That's close. Baltimore driving to be down three,

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>leaping for the goal line fumble the football is that close? Okay?

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>The Bills in this time frame played in one conference

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 2>championship game got beat by three scores. All right. So

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>that is Kansas City, the Rams, the Buck the Niners,

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals, the Eagles, the Lions, the Packers, and the Ravens.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Nine teams in a thirty two team league. So more

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 2>than a quarter of the league got closer than the

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Bills did. That's what I wrote, and this is now

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:27.839
<v Speaker 2>where I get fired up. Timo replies to this, Oh yeah,

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I also did a cursory rankings, and let's stay there

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>and then I'll get to this other part, cursory rankings

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 2>of teams and their success over the during the Digs

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Allen era. The Chiefs, obviously in first place right, won

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>two Super Bowls, went to a third. Tampa second place,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 2>two trips to the divisional round and won a super Bowl.

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>The Rams third place, multiple playoff appearances and won a

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. The Niners fourth place, three trips to the

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 2>conference championship game, including a Super Bowl appearance. The Bengals

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>fifth place, two trips to the conference championship game and

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl appearance. The Eagles sixth place, multiple playoff

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 2>appearances three I think maybe four three, four doesn't matter,

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>went to a super Bowl. Baltimore seventh place, multiple trips

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>to round two of the playoffs and a close conference

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 2>championship game, Green Bay eighth place, a conference championship game loss,

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 2>another and then two other appearances in round two, and

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>then Buffalo ninth place, Dallas tenth place. If you want

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to parse Green Bay versus Buffalo, fine, so they would

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>be either eight, nine or ten somewhere in there. The

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Bills resume is one trip to the conference tadle game

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>where they got blown out, a close round two loss,

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 2>a blowout round two loss, and then another close round

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>two loss. So I write that, and Timo says, here

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>is a list of teams, and this is where I

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 2>lose my mind. Who were considered among realistic potential Super

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Bowl winners when January arrived every single year over the

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 2>last four years, Chiefs Bills. End of list, end of story,

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>end of any reasonable discussion. So let me set aside

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the patronizing tone and let me explain this.

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately I missed this.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Just because you speak it, just because you say it,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 2>does not make it true. Just because you decided that

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the Bills were realistic super Bowl contenders does not mean

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:57.559
<v Speaker 2>they were this year. The Bills team that started six

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and six was never a realistic super Bowl contender. I

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>know you so desperately pleaded and claimed they were. But

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 2>they weren't. And you saw it in their first playoff game.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>You saw it in Week seventeen or whenever it was,

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 2>when they struggled to beat who the hell was East

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and stick in the Chargers. You saw it in their

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>first playoff game when they struggled to beat Mason Rudolph.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>And you saw it when they lost another home playoff

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 2>game last year, when a Bills team at home got

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>annihilated by a team that then lost in the next

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>round in Cincinnati. They were not a realistic super Bowl contender.

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty, when they almost lost to ancient Philip

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Rivers and the Colts in round one and then got

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 2>annihilated by the Chiefs in round three, they were not

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>a realistic super Bowl You said they were, but they weren't.

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty one, they were a realistic contender. They didn't

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 2>get there. In fact, they lost to a team that

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>then lost in the next round and the team that

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>won that game then lost in the next round.

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna jump they came with a go ahead.

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 4>You say, it's just because you say it doesn't make

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 4>it true, because like there was a chance that they

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 4>could get there and buy off chance, you know, win

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 4>a couple of games in a row and magically be

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 4>in the Super Bowl with with a little bit of luck.

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 4>But like people were saying that they were a Super

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Bowl contenders because of the the folks that they had

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 4>on the team, and like they got so they just

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 4>can't get it.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>And what I'm saying, and what I'm saying is, at

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>some point the games have to matter. At some point

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the results are in. And in twenty twenty, you weren't

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>that close because you got dog walked in the conference

0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>championship game by a team that then lost lost the

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl by three scores. Right in twenty twenty one,

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I do think you were really close, but you lost

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>a coin flip game, that's the thirteen seconds game to

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>a team that then lost in the next round to

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals. And then that Bengals team lost in the

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>next round. So your best team lost to the team

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>that lost to the team that lost to the team.

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 2>The next year you got annihilated by a team in

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati in your building that then lost the next round.

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>And this year you were which was your worst year,

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 2>and you were injured all that you got beat in

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>your building by a team that ended up winning the

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. So no, they weren't one game away in

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>any of these spots. Flip a result and explain to

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>me why they then win the Super Bowl. They weren't

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>a game away. Three of the four years they didn't

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 2>even lose to the eventual champion. The one year they did.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>This year they lost the eventual champion and it was

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 2>in there building in round two. So I replied to

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that to get back to the perennial Super Bowl contender discussion.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait, no, that's not even what I want to

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 2>go to here, because that's not what really got me

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>fired up. Kevin Cole, who I was like, where do

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I know this name Kevin Cole from? And he used

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>to be with Pro Football Focus now he does other

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 2>football stuff. But it was because he condescended to Steven

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Ruiz on Twitter a few months ago, and I jumped

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>in because Kevin Cole asserted with all of his chest

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that Lamar Jackson actually not that valuable. That was where

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I knew him from. So I'm gonna all I can

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 2>hold on. I'm gonna get read it to you, so

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you guys know I'm not making this us up. The

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 2>the tweet was uh, and the this was when we

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>were talking about the MVP discussion. You can make all

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>kinds of legitimate arguments that Lamar has outplayed his numbers,

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 2>but I wonder how many people recognize the ground truth

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>can't really be disputed. Plays he's been involved, he being

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson, he's been involved in haven't been particularly valuable

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 2>this season.

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I mean Lamar Jackson is who Josh Allen who

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 4>People say Josh Allen are amazing during the season.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Quarter this amazing. Well, here's the thing. Josh has had

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 2>some really good playoff games, some really good playoff games,

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.239
<v Speaker 2>and they have they both have their strengths and their weaknesses.

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get to Josh in a moment. I'm still

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 2>arguing with people on the internet and I want to

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 2>get back to it. Kevin replies to this guy and

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>says he might not know what perennial means. He is

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>me in that context, and uh, and then Timo replies,

0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:19.199
<v Speaker 2>it's weird how someone would take the word perennial and

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 2>then look for examples of teams with a quote higher

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 2>noisy peak in terms of a single year playoff run.

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 2>And then he replies, it's not weird when you factor

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>in the feedback he gets. If your audience reacts on

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 2>vibes and not facts and logic, you'll lean into going

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 2>for vibes and not addressing actual arguments. Okay, so a

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>number of things here. First of all, if you consider

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 2>the goddamn NFL playoffs and the results of the games

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a noisy peak, then go and do something else for

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a living. If the results of the playoff games are

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 2>just ah, noisy, statistically unimportant data set, then do something else.

0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 2>It's single elimination pro football. You're never going to have

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 2>an adequate sample size to prove or disprove any of this.

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>It's all a little based on vibes and gut and

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.479
<v Speaker 2>what you think. Because it's not one hundred and sixty

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>two games. You can't run a million simulations and believe

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>it or not, you're absolutely sacricynct. Algorithms might not be

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>able to fully factor for everything that goes into winning

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 2>or losing football games. So that's first point. The second

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 2>point is, don't condescend to the audience or to me

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and the idea that oh, his dumb audience of people

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.680
<v Speaker 2>who watch and enjoy football, those dumb people that look

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>at football as a form of entertainment, they react to

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. Us smart guys understand it's far more than it.

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Then what is it? Is it just preseason Super Bowl odds?

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Is it just Super Bowl win expectancy as spat out

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>by the five thirty eight computers in September? And everything

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 2>else is just noise, like the arrogance to believe your

0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>preconceived notions, once proven wrong, were actually right and you

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>just didn't have the right number of simulations to prove it.

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Get out of here some of us, some of us

0:19:54.119 --> 0:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>saw a team who was overly reliant on a superhuman

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>at quarterback who tended to still trace back to some

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of his most juvenile mistakes. Folks for years have poked

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 2>fun at the fact that I still bring up that

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen, in the waning moments of the first playoff

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>game he ever played in, threw a ball backwards over

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 2>over his head because he panicked, and that I said

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.359
<v Speaker 2>that tells me a lot about who he is. Folks like,

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, Nick, are you serious? And then you're

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>still bringing that up.

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Five years later, in the biggest game he ever played

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Kansas City Chiefs at home, the third play

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 2>of the game, he panicked and threw a forward pass

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 2>when he was seven yards past the line of scrimmage

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.880
<v Speaker 2>to try to get a third down. That ended up

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 2>working because the refs missed it. And two hours later,

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth quarter of that game, before the missed

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>field goal, he panicked and tried to stretch for an

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 2>extra yard and fumbled the ball and it was bouncing

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 2>to end the game and end the season, and luckily

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 2>a Chiefs player foolishly tried to scoop and score and

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the Bills got it back. I don't know how you

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 2>account for those moments, but they're real, just like it

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 2>was real and not accounted for in any of your

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>juvenile fast sile keep them in a damn lab preseason

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 2>win probabilities. You know what was real? Stefan Diggs doing

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 2>this on the sideline to Josh Allen. That was real.

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:57.360
<v Speaker 2>You know what was real, Sean McDermott doing this, How concerned.

0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Am I very concerned. I'm concerned about Stefan Diggs. You

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 2>know what was real, Stefan's brother saying get him out

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of there. It's all real. And this is maybe even

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 2>more than an argument against the bills or against those

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 2>dopes that I argued with on the internet. This is

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of an argument against artificial intelligence, the thrust of

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 2>AI and robots into our lives versus what human beings know.

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:33.679
<v Speaker 2>You watched the bills and you said, ooh boy, Sean

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:41.120
<v Speaker 2>McDermott looks nervous, ooh boy, Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs.

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I I can't tell you why. Specifically, it felt in

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 2>my gut that Diggs and Alan's sideline interactions were more

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>worrisome than Travis Kelcey literally assaulting Andy Reid on the sideline.

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 2>But something in my heart and my head tells me

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>they're different. I can't prove it to you, but I

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 2>know Travis and Andy love each other and it's gonna

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 2>be fine. And I can't prove it to you, but

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I know Stefan and Josh are not on the same page.

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And here we are, and the bills just got worse.

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 2>You know how, I know they got worse. Their general

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 2>manager had a press conference yesterday and said, we're worse.

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:38.639
<v Speaker 2>That's how I know. And so I I'm here to

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 2>tell you that some of this was not that hard

0:23:52.480 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>to see coming. And the idea that the Bills had

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 2>an era is an insult to eras they were a

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty good team for the last four years. They were

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:18.719
<v Speaker 2>a touch in this timeframe better than the Cowboys and

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>a touch worse than the Packers. That's it. They weren't

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 2>some juggernaut. It was never Brady Manning, Mahomes Allen. It's

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>an insult to everyone in that conversation to say that

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.199
<v Speaker 2>they weren't the Chief's biggest threat. You know how I

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>know because the team with the better quarterback and the

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe I'm saying this steadier coach with a

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>defense that instead of every year being great in the

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>regular season and falling apart in the playoffs, was mediocre

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>in the regular season. Next in the playoffs in Cincinnati,

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 2>that team actually beat Kansas City. And I understand that

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the AFC title game results are you know, a noisy peak,

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:13.880
<v Speaker 2>but it's the way we measure athletes and teams, guys,

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and now here is the thing. I will tell you

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:28.920
<v Speaker 2>there is a chance for the biggest Josh Allen fans

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 2>demons to be able to get their get back and

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 2>to be able to use a lot of my quotes

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 2>against me.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 4>And you know how by Josh Allen performing huh.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, now it's a fair fight, right to Alan

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes Mahomes Allen one A one B one B one A. Okay,

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 2>how would Patrick Mahomes do if his all Pro wide

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 2>receiver was traded in the offseason? Well, I don't know,

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>could that ever happen?

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>It did happen. Oh did they replace him with a

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>number one receiver?

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 2>No, they just had to draft somebody or somebody's So

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 2>how did that go?

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>He won the league MVP and then and was the

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>highest scoring team in the league and won the Super Bowl.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And then the next year with what was considered the

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 2>worst receiving corps, not just in the NFL, but in

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>years of the NFL. That's what I was told all

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 2>year the Chiefs team, the receiving corps is so bad

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that a team with Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes in a

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:37.359
<v Speaker 2>great defense, that receiving corps is so bad it will tear,

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 2>pull the entire team down. Won the Super Bowl again.

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:46.959
<v Speaker 2>So now this is a great moment for all of

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 2>the folks who have argued Mahomes Allen is a real debate.

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Now you don't have to deal with the distraction of

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Stepan Diggs, you don't have to deal with any of that.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Go do it. I'm excited to how this turns out.

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 2>So here's a question I have for you, Demanse before

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 2>we move on to the Texans. And I texted our

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>group today that was gonna try to go a little fasterday.

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 2>We went twenty five minutes on the first topic. Can

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 2>we put up that Stefan Diggs tweet? So here's my question,

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know the answer. So Stefan Diggs the

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 2>night before he was traded, replies to a tweet from

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:30.120
<v Speaker 2>a couple days before saying, does Josh benefit from having

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:34.359
<v Speaker 2>a top tier receiver? Yes? Is it essential to Is

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Digs essential to Josh's success? No? And Digs on Tuesday

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 2>night tweets you sure, question Mark Wednesday morning, he's traded.

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 2>So here's my question to you, Demanse. There's not a

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 2>wrong or right answer here. I'm just kind of doing

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 2>like a one person straw pole. Do you think Diggs

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 2>knew the trade was coming when he sent this or

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>do you think him sending this was the last straw

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 2>that then initiated them to pull the trigger on the trade.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 5>I think knew he was getting traded.

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 2>So you think he already knew?

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so go ahead, Yeah, No, I think he I

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.880
<v Speaker 4>think he already knew. I mean, I feel like Stefan

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Diggs has wanted out for a while, and I don't

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 4>think I don't know if he tweets that like and

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 4>knows in the back of his mind there's a chance

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 4>that he could still be on the bills, I just

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 4>don't think he'd do.

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.880
<v Speaker 2>That, so so I think it. So here's the part

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>of it. I think you're right. But what I find

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 2>intriguing is if he knew. They did a really good

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>job of keeping it quiet, because there were no leaps

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 2>that this was coming before it happened. It wasn't like,

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, potential. You're right that people

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>thought Digs at some point could be moved, but it

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like there were reports the night before where agents.

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Does to strike. He was the type of guy to

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 3>do it a little little sly like that.

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe think I mean, okay, so that's where you're at.

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's move on now to the Texans side

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 2>of things. Listen, the Bills, congrats guys on your three

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>consecutive AFC bronze medals. We'll never see a team like

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you again. Uh oh, we got to oh this See

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not nice. I mean, that's not nice. It is

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 2>what it is, all right, next.

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 4>All right, So on the other side of it, the

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Texans now have Stefan Diggs obviously c J. Stroud on

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 4>his rookie deal, and they've got Joe Nixon or Joe

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Mixon and the running game, and they've beefed up the

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 4>defense a little bit. With that said, do you think

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 4>the Texans are the number one threat to the Chiefs

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 4>the AFC?

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you can make a really strong case the

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Texans are the best team in the AFC other than

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City. So I want to talk about the Texans,

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 2>but I don't want to forget about the butterfly effect

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>part of this that I said, So you want to

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 2>know my galaxy brain like butterfly effect of the Digs

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 2>trade demonse, What's something that now I now believe the

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Detroit Lions are going to trade for t Higgins. So

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 2>you might say, why what are the dots there? So

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the Lions, I think, believe they need a receiver. The

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Lions are drafting twenty nine. The Bengals are obviously shopping Higgins.

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 2>They were going to trade Higgins or I shouldn't.

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Wait, I should We're going to trade something happened with Brown.

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 2>No, but they want a second receiver. They just yeah,

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 2>it's just they Jamison Williams hasn't really worked out the

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 2>way they had hoped, and I you know, they they

0:30:53.480 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>were connected to whatever exactly right. No, they have amenros

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>because to be honest, I think they need some help defensively.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 2>But offensively, the offensive line's great. I'm on ros. Great.

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 2>They just drafted Gibbs. They like golf. They Laporta's excellent.

0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 2>You know. The only spot on the offense you really

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.120
<v Speaker 2>look at is receiver and then some help on defense

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 2>for Aiden Hutchinson. Okay, so I think the Lions were

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 2>planning at twenty nine to draft a receiver. Well, who

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 2>drafts at twenty eight Buffalo? Now Detroit knows Okay, obviously

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Harrison Neighbors and a doonsay are gone in the top ten.

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 2>After that, you have Ady Mitchell, you have Brian Thomas

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 2>from LSU as the fourth and fifth or fifth and

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 2>fourth receivers. Buffalo is definitely taking a receiver. So now

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>we're down to drafting the fifth receiver. Pittsburgh is a

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 2>potential receive team. Cincinnati, if they trade T Higgins elsewhere,

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>is a potential receiver team. We could be sitting there

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 2>at twenty nine and at best get the fifth receiver

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:15.040
<v Speaker 2>and maybe get the sixth or seventh. So I think

0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Detroit now is more likely to trade for T. Higgins.

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's a little kind of butterfly effect piece of it.

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Now to the Texans, I have seen a lot of

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>oh my goodness, the Texans. This is a blueprint every

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 2>team should follow. Okay, Well, I mean if the blueprint

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:40.800
<v Speaker 2>was draft a quarterback at two and higher the Niners

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 2>decordinator as your head coach, then the Jets would be

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 2>in great shape because they followed that blueprint and they're

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>a disaster. Okay. So also the Texans blueprint of be

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:59.719
<v Speaker 2>truly horrific for three consecutive years, and in those three years,

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 2>go through four different coaches before you finally get the

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 2>right one, and oh yeah, by the way, pull off

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 2>an all time trade heist in getting three first round

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 2>picks for Deshaun Watson. My point is that part of

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the blueprint is not really duplicable. You can't really be like,

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 2>all right, here's the play boys. We're gonna get one

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest trade halls ever. We're then going to

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 2>be truly awful for three straight seasons to get even

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>more blue chip picks, but not quite awful enough to

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 2>ever have the number one pick of the draft. But

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the team drafting number one is gonna take the smallest

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 2>quarterback who's ever played in the NFL. So we're gonna

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 2>get the right guy at number two. And by the way,

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be able to get the hottest coaching prospect

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.840
<v Speaker 2>on the market because he's a legend for our franchise

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 2>who played middle linebacker for us and wants to come

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 2>save the team he played for. That is not something

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of teams can file. It's not like you're

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 2>in Carolina, You're like, all right, boys, here's the plan.

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 2>We're just gonna be all for a number of years,

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and then Luke Keikley is gonna come in and save

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 2>us along with a quarterback we draft. That's not a plan.

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 2>But the part of the plan that is replicable, I

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 2>should say, is if you've gotten that guy at quarterback, spend, spend, spend,

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:23.359
<v Speaker 2>spin spind. Yes, while he's cheap, go put talent around him.

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think Diggs will be awesome this year. A

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 2>motivated Stepan Diggs. I think you'll be really good for

0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>at least one more year. Age is catching up to

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 2>him a little bit. But you have Nico Collins, you

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>have Tank Dell coming back from the injury. You have

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Stefan Diggs, you got maybe the best left tackle in

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 2>sport and tunsl you're building the defense. Like I think

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the Texans are excellent, excellent. Before this trade, I had

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>them neck and neck with Cincinnati as the biggest threats

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>in the AFC outside of Kansas City. And you know

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 2>what that means, demanse, Oh my goodness, I'm so excited

0:34:57.440 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 2>for it.

0:34:58.560 --> 0:34:59.839
<v Speaker 5>What is that? What does that mean?

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Because you've got it, You've got one.

0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead.

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 4>I've got a question. Now, I've got a question for you,

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 4>but I'm gonna let you finish your Oh okay, do

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:10.800
<v Speaker 4>you think okay?

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:11.959
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead?

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 4>It's bad Okay, yeah, So do you think the Prince

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:18.839
<v Speaker 4>will ever win an AFC South Game South game again,

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 4>or well a seulth title?

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh vision Listen, I this offseason not been good for

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 2>my guy, right, they're not gonna lie. I don't like

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the moves the Jags have made. The Jags so like.

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 2>The Jags had the number one pick the next in,

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.479
<v Speaker 2>took Trevor the next year so bad, got the number

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 2>one pick again, and they've squandered the whole thing. They're

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 2>out of here, signing Gabe Davis to thirteen million a year,

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Trent Bulky keeps getting jobs and keeps being terrible. So yeah,

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think I think Trevor's awesome, but I

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 2>think that right now they are not the favorites in

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:57.319
<v Speaker 2>their own division, that's for sure. I agree with that

0:35:57.440 --> 0:35:57.960
<v Speaker 2>piece of it.

0:35:58.480 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not good for my guy to have this Texans

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 2>team and CJ in his division. There's no way around it.

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:07.800
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, you're supposed to have at least

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:12.480
<v Speaker 2>two excellent quarterbacks in each division. The AFC East right

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 2>now doesn't. And I for all this trash I talk

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 2>on trash is the wrong word truth I tell about

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Josh He's obviously an excellent quarterback. I don't think they

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 2>have another excellent quarterback in that division. But the AFC

0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 2>North has Lamar and Burrow, the AFC West has Mahomes

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and Herbert, the AFC South, it's fair for them to

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 2>have Stroud and Trevor. But that's not what I was

0:36:34.440 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 2>going to get to. What I was going to say

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 2>is this, so the initial so we had Brady Manning.

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Brady Manning was the thing, right, and then a couple

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:50.760
<v Speaker 2>of years into Mahomes's career after he won the MVP,

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and shout out to Pete Sweeney for doing the screenshots

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of all of these exact conversations over the last five

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 2>years on TV, but we got Mahomes. Watson is that

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the new Brady Manning, and then Mahomes annihilated him in

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.399
<v Speaker 2>a twenty four to nothing playoff game. Down twenty four

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 2>ended up, you know, I think winning fifty one to

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, and then you know, his career kind of

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>went askew after that, crossed him off the list. Then

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Lamar unanimous MVP. Lamar beat Mahomes in the regular season Mahomes.

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Lamar is that the new Brady Manning and then Lamar

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>had his own postseason struggles, seemed to be over him

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.759
<v Speaker 2>and then lost to Mahomes in the playoff game. Cross

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:40.880
<v Speaker 2>him off the list. Then it was Mahomes Allen, that's

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the new Brady Manning. And then Mahomes played him three

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 2>times in the playoffs to beat him all three times,

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 2>crossed him off the list. Then it was Mahomes Borrow,

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Burrough actually won a game, and then

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes being the AFC title game. Unfortunately Joe Burrow got

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:57.959
<v Speaker 2>hurt and see mister the playoffs, cross him off the list.

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:03.400
<v Speaker 2>We're about to get Mahomes v. Quarterback ATX version five

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 2>point zero. Mahomes Stroud is that the new Brady Manning.

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 4>And is like, you can yet I don't know if

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.640
<v Speaker 4>you can cross him off yet. Aget he did like

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 4>the Chiefs beats them last time.

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, listen, and it's hard to go undefeated,

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, against the team in the playoffs the way

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs said with the Bills, and so credit to

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:28.399
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals. That's fine. I think that Burrow is now

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden coming off a lost season and

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna not have t Higgins. But we'll see

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 2>like that that. My point is Stroud's the next man up.

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>But as I told you guys over the last few years,

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and I will say again, it is not a Brady

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:47.320
<v Speaker 2>versus Manning scenario. It is a tiger versus the field scenario.

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:51.399
<v Speaker 2>And you can pick which of these quarterbacks is VJ. Singh,

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 2>which one's David Duvall, which ones aren't he L's, and

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:57.320
<v Speaker 2>which one's Phil Mickelson. But it is not Brady Manning.

0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 2>It is tiger versus the field. All right, let's take

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a quick break, come back, talk a little Lakers, and

0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:05.520
<v Speaker 2>play a little right ends. We'll do all that next.

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 2>What's Right? All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right,

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 2>a little breaking news Julius Randall having season ending shoulder surgery,

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 2>which is I mean, listen, he has been not a

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 2>good playoff performer. But that's brutal for the Knicks because

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 2>they did look really good when they were after the

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Og trade, when they were at full strength, and now

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:37.239
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to see that team again, So that's

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:40.800
<v Speaker 2>brutal for them. So that's some breaking news for the show. Also,

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:47.840
<v Speaker 2>shout up to this show for prematurely being correct about

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the lsu IOWA rating. So if you were listening Tuesday,

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:56.720
<v Speaker 2>we had the breaking news of this show of lsu

0:39:56.800 --> 0:40:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Iowa doing twelve point two million people. We brought it

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 2>to you before anyone had it, including Nielsen, because we

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 2>misread a tweet about something else, but we reported it

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 2>as twelve point two million.

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh we didn't correct.

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:14.440
<v Speaker 5>Man, by the way, that was Meg's doing.

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, exactly a premonition by Meg. So we then

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:26.000
<v Speaker 2>apologized because we thought, oh man, we got tricked that

0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the official numbers aren't out. Then the official numbers came out,

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:32.239
<v Speaker 2>there's twelve point three million, So we thought Meg had

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:35.839
<v Speaker 2>it first, then didn't have it, and then was had it.

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Definitely had it first and was right. So unlike this,

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:43.640
<v Speaker 2>so unlike the uh, the lsu IOWA rating, this is news.

0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 2>We have triple check verified. But it turns out we

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't need triple check verify the lsu IOWA rating because

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 2>we were just ten hours before everyone on it. Good

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:54.280
<v Speaker 2>job by us there, all right, Demansey, Let's do Lakers.

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:55.520
<v Speaker 5>Thank you Megs for damas.

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 4>The Lakers have been the hottest team in the NBA

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:00.480
<v Speaker 4>the past couple of weeks, but they're still at the

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 4>nine seed currently, do you think they have a path

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 4>out of the play in or do they at least

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:06.920
<v Speaker 4>have a path to avoid being the bottom of the

0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 4>play in.

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So this is what's so interesting. The MAVs, Sons,

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and Pelicans have forty five wins. The Kings and Lakers

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 2>have forty four wins. So it sounds super close, but

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 2>it's not. Because the law you can make up wins,

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:28.919
<v Speaker 2>you can't make up losses, right, So the wins don't

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 2>matter that much. What matters is the losses. The MAVs

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 2>have thirty losses, the Sons, Pelicans, Kings have thirty one losses.

0:41:38.600 --> 0:41:43.320
<v Speaker 2>The Lakers have thirty three losses. Okay, and the Lakers

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 2>are the nine seed. So the question is, can't the

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Lakers cannot realistically pass two teams and get out of

0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the play in. But you guys know how important I

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.240
<v Speaker 2>think it is for them to be in the seven

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:02.040
<v Speaker 2>eight part of the play in? Versus then can they

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 2>catch one team? So you go through it and you

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 2>realize it's harder than you think. So the Kings are

0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the team that I think folks believe they have the

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 2>best chance of catching the problem with the Kings is

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers lost the tiebreaker to them. So if the

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Kings and Lakers finished with the same record, the Kings

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:37.319
<v Speaker 2>get the higher seed. Right the Suns, the Lakers have

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the tiebreaker with, but they're playing great basketball right now.

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 2>They had this really tough stretch of games, but then

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, they got Denver without Jokic and so that

0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that made it not quite as tough. Are they gonna

0:42:54.320 --> 0:43:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the Suns Probably not gonna catch them. So the people

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.120
<v Speaker 2>need to be watching is the New Orleans Pelicans. The

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Lakers right now have the tiebreaker with New Orleans, and

0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in the final game of the year, they play New Orleans.

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 2>So what the Lakers need is to play one game

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:22.719
<v Speaker 2>better than New Orleans the rest of the way and

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:25.839
<v Speaker 2>have and then beat New Orleans in the final game

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year. So if you think the Lakers can go,

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 2>they've got five left, four and one right. So they're

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 2>home for Cleveland, home for Minnesota, home for Golden State,

0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 2>at Memphis, at New Orleans. Say they lose Minnesota, which

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 2>is the second night of a back to back, and

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 2>they win the other games and they're forty eight and

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty four. What that means is you need New Orleans

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to lose two of the following home for San anton

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 2>at the Suns, at the hopeless Blazers, at the Kings

0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:09.759
<v Speaker 2>at Golden State on the second night of a back

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to back, and then they obviously play the Lakers. So

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 2>if you're trying, if you're hoping, the Lakers can move

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 2>up from nine at Phoenix, at Sacramento at Golden State,

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:25.279
<v Speaker 2>those three games for New Orleans, you need them to

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:27.799
<v Speaker 2>lose two of them, and you need the Lakers to

0:44:27.840 --> 0:44:30.120
<v Speaker 2>take care of business and only lose once more the

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. If that happens, they can move

0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:36.719
<v Speaker 2>up to the seven eight game, and I think go

0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 2>on a real run if they are stuck in the

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:44.279
<v Speaker 2>nine to ten spot and they have to win just

0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:47.040
<v Speaker 2>to move on to game two of the play in

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 2>and then win a road game just to move on

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to the actual playoffs, to then play a rested for

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:55.839
<v Speaker 2>a week one seed no matter who that is, that

0:44:55.920 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 2>path I think is not viable. They've got to move

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 2>up at least one spot. If you are in the

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 2>nine ten spot, what you basically have to do is

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:10.480
<v Speaker 2>win six of nine to get out of Round one.

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 2>You're back to back playing games and then four of

0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 2>seven without home court advantage, you know, without arrest advantage

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 2>at all against a one seed. Too hard. So the

0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are playing great, Lebron is playing out of his mind.

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:32.000
<v Speaker 2>But that start to the season twenty four and twenty

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 2>five right now looms incredibly large. And the Kings, all

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 2>those Kings games that they just absolutely Game three of

0:45:42.920 --> 0:45:45.799
<v Speaker 2>the season they lose in overtime to the Kings game,

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 2>then they lose. The Kings beat him by fifteen, The

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Kings beat him by ten, The Kings beat him by thirteen.

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Going zero to four against the Kings could be the

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:59.200
<v Speaker 2>difference in the whole year. You'll win one of those

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 2>games and you're tied with the Kings and the standings.

0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 2>You win two of them and you're the five seed

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 2>right now. Just a brutal spot, all right, Demon's what's next?

0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:09.480
<v Speaker 5>Crazy?

0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:13.720
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, Bronni James is reportedly entering the transfer portal

0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:18.360
<v Speaker 4>after the USC's coach left for SMU. Lebron didn't confirm that,

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 4>but he says, Bronni's got some pretty tough decisions to

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 4>make moving forward. You said you think one reason Lebron

0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 4>wants to stay in La is because of Bronni. So

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 4>with that being said, do you expect Lebron to follow

0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Bronnie wherever he goes.

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So here's what I would say. If I were a

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:40.959
<v Speaker 2>die hard Laker fan, I would be monitoring this. One

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:44.400
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons that I think it has been just

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:47.480
<v Speaker 2>assumed that Lebron is going who's a free agent this

0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:51.080
<v Speaker 2>offseason if he wants to be that Lebron is going

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to stay with the Lakers this offseason is because Bronni's

0:46:57.080 --> 0:47:04.080
<v Speaker 2>at USC. Well, if Bronni leaves, could I see a

0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:09.440
<v Speaker 2>scenario where Bronni and where Bronni's college decision and Lebron's

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:13.319
<v Speaker 2>free agency decision are correlated? Is based on no like

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 2>inside or intel, just you know, just logic. As a father. Yeah,

0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:22.840
<v Speaker 2>if all of a sudden, demand was thinking about moving

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:26.920
<v Speaker 2>it from LA and I had the opportunity to pick

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 2>any city to work in this summer, would I at

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:33.480
<v Speaker 2>least talk with him and be like, Hey, where are

0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 2>you looking at? Is there a possibility we could work

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 2>in the same city? Of course, obviously, of course, and

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.960
<v Speaker 2>so I think it is. I think the chances of

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Lebron leaving the Lakers, however small they are, increase slightly

0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:55.480
<v Speaker 2>if Bronnie ends up deciding to transfer from USC All right,

0:47:55.520 --> 0:47:56.560
<v Speaker 2>let's go on to write INDs.

0:47:56.600 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Demon's go ahead, you where do you where could you

0:47:58.920 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 3>see Bronni going?

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know so that part, and I don't

0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:06.480
<v Speaker 2>think he's gonna declare for the draft, and I don't

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:09.839
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people are connecting him to Ducaine.

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:13.719
<v Speaker 2>So if people don't know why he's being connected to Ducaine,

0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:19.920
<v Speaker 2>here's why Ducaine. When Lebron was a junior in high school,

0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Ducaine hired Frank Dambrot, the coach of Lebron's high school team,

0:48:25.560 --> 0:48:30.640
<v Speaker 2>to be their head coach Ducaine University, hoping that if

0:48:30.719 --> 0:48:33.160
<v Speaker 2>bron ended up not going straight to the NBA, maybe

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 2>he'd go there. Lebron's teammate Drew Joyce, the third from

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:43.400
<v Speaker 2>that high school state championship team, then ended up becoming

0:48:43.400 --> 0:48:47.280
<v Speaker 2>a coach himself, ended up being the assistant at Ducaine,

0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:51.160
<v Speaker 2>and just got the head coaching job at Ducaine because

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Dan Brot twenty years later retired this past offseason after

0:48:55.120 --> 0:48:58.920
<v Speaker 2>they won their first NCAA tournament game. So because of

0:48:58.960 --> 0:49:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the family, I know some people have connected Bronnie to

0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Ducane he'd obviously be featured more there, he'd be one

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:09.319
<v Speaker 2>of the highest ranked recruits that team's ever gotten. I

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:12.280
<v Speaker 2>don't again, so I think that is on the board.

0:49:12.280 --> 0:49:14.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying I think that's likely, but I do

0:49:14.880 --> 0:49:19.720
<v Speaker 2>think that this is something intriguing to follow over the summer,

0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:23.160
<v Speaker 2>particularly depending on how the Lakers season ends. All right,

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:24.360
<v Speaker 2>let's go to right ends.

0:49:24.760 --> 0:49:27.240
<v Speaker 5>All right, We're gonna start off with Joel Jewel.

0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Embiid returned to action versus I love that graphic return

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:36.200
<v Speaker 4>to action versus Okac Tuesday and came up clutchlely. Embiid

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:39.120
<v Speaker 4>was visibly exhausted at the end of the game, but

0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Philly still has six games to get him back up

0:49:41.080 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 4>to speed. The seventy six ers ceiling with embiidback is.

0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean their ceiling is winning the title. I mean

0:49:50.120 --> 0:49:56.239
<v Speaker 2>that the I mean they have an excellent roster, well rounded. Maxi's,

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, great, Darryl's done a really good job of

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:01.399
<v Speaker 2>filling out the roster, and Embiid was playing the best

0:50:01.440 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 2>basketball of his career before he got hurt. Now, it's

0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:07.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a really tough putt, but their ceiling is

0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:09.759
<v Speaker 2>they could win the title. Now They've never even made

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:14.920
<v Speaker 2>a conference finals since Iverson was there. But that's their ceiling,

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:15.680
<v Speaker 2>all right. Next.

0:50:16.680 --> 0:50:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh, if you thought the Bucks losing to the Wizards

0:50:19.040 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 4>is bad, things got even worse against the Grizzlies. After

0:50:22.200 --> 0:50:26.200
<v Speaker 4>back to back losses to lowly opponents, Doc now has

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 4>more losses than Adrian Griffin had Milwaukee. Milwaukee's problems are.

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Right now too many to count. Gosh, I mean Doc

0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:39.880
<v Speaker 2>has now blamed the trainers, the bus driver, the traveling

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:42.840
<v Speaker 2>secretary for the team. Yeah, I mean he was like,

0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 2>we do everything bad on the road, Like from top down.

0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Doc is finding people to blame. Dame's not playing right now,

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:54.759
<v Speaker 2>They're they're the Bucks. The upside is still there, but man,

0:50:54.800 --> 0:50:58.799
<v Speaker 2>oh man, right now they look like a team that

0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 2>is not ready to compete for a championship. All right.

0:51:02.080 --> 0:51:05.759
<v Speaker 4>Next, the Nuggets, the Thunder, and the Timberwolves are all

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:07.839
<v Speaker 4>neck and neck in the West with only a few

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 4>games left. Who pulls away the one seed in the

0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:11.399
<v Speaker 4>West will be.

0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Well. So Minnesota has at the Suns, at the Lakers,

0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:24.320
<v Speaker 2>home for the Wizards, at the Nuggets, home for the Hawks,

0:51:24.360 --> 0:51:28.640
<v Speaker 2>home for the Suns. Left, that's a brutal finishing kick.

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:35.480
<v Speaker 2>The Nuggets have at the Clippers, then home for the Hawks,

0:51:35.600 --> 0:51:38.320
<v Speaker 2>at the Jazz, home for the Timberwolves, at the Spurs

0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:42.040
<v Speaker 2>at the Grizzlies. That is not a tough finishing kick.

0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And the thunder they've got at the Pacers at the Hornets,

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:50.920
<v Speaker 2>home for the King's home for the Spurs, home for

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks, home for the MAVs, that's mediocre. What is Jamal?

0:51:54.960 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 2>When is Jamal Murray? Daniel should know this. When is

0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Jamal Murray supposed to be back? He's questionable for tonight.

0:52:02.719 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 2>So for the the Nuggets gotta get Jamal Murray back

0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 2>right now. My money would assuming Jamal Murray comes back,

0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:15.440
<v Speaker 2>my money would be on Denver. If not, I think

0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City could steal it. I also think yep. And

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I also think that the number one seed, because you

0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:27.359
<v Speaker 2>don't get to draft your playoff opponent, the number one

0:52:27.400 --> 0:52:30.400
<v Speaker 2>seed might not be that valuable depending on how the

0:52:30.440 --> 0:52:34.160
<v Speaker 2>postseason the play in tournament ends up. All right, next.

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Last week we saw Luca chirp the Kings for not

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:40.840
<v Speaker 4>drafting him. Tonight he faces the Hawks, who traded his

0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:43.400
<v Speaker 4>rights on draft night. Are we in store for another

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:45.840
<v Speaker 4>dominant performance tonight versus the Hawks.

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I have a thirty five point triple double. The

0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Hawks can't They're not going to guard and the Maps

0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:57.960
<v Speaker 2>just lost. Lucas still is I think holding out, you know,

0:52:58.160 --> 0:53:03.839
<v Speaker 2>tiny hope that he could win a league MVP. Yeah,

0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:08.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think this is uh the I think this

0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:11.240
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be a monster stat night for Luca.

0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:14.960
<v Speaker 4>All Right, last, the men's and women's finals four final

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:17.319
<v Speaker 4>fours are coming up this weekend. What are you most

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:20.440
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to Your favorite college headline heading into the

0:53:20.440 --> 0:53:21.080
<v Speaker 4>weekend is.

0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, I hope that I hope that we get it.

0:53:27.080 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Looks like Yukon's gonna run away with it. On the

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:31.880
<v Speaker 2>men's side of things, I think Yukon's big men against

0:53:31.960 --> 0:53:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Zach Edy would be fun to watch, But I'm most

0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:37.480
<v Speaker 2>interested in the women's side of things. Page and Yukon

0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:40.480
<v Speaker 2>are a great story, but I'm rooting for Caitlin. South

0:53:40.480 --> 0:53:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Carolina is going to annihilate NC State and then you

0:53:43.960 --> 0:53:47.400
<v Speaker 2>have Caitlin against South Carolina, and I want people to

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:55.880
<v Speaker 2>understand what South Carolina has done over the last few years.

0:53:56.840 --> 0:54:02.239
<v Speaker 2>So South Carolina women's basketball in the twenty twenty two

0:54:02.400 --> 0:54:08.600
<v Speaker 2>season was thirty five and two and won the national championship. Okay,

0:54:09.719 --> 0:54:13.759
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina women's basketball last year was thirty six and

0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:18.000
<v Speaker 2>one and the one loss was in the semifinal to

0:54:18.120 --> 0:54:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Caitlin Clark. South Carolina women's basketball this year is thirty

0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:27.040
<v Speaker 2>six and zero and the huge favorite to win the

0:54:27.120 --> 0:54:32.719
<v Speaker 2>national championship. Okay, So in South Carolina women's basketball's basketball,

0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:40.920
<v Speaker 2>last we do the math year, seventy nine games they are,

0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:41.680
<v Speaker 2>is that right?

0:54:41.800 --> 0:54:41.960
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:46.239
<v Speaker 2>That is right? Hold on, yeah, they're seventy eight and one,

0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and the one loss came to Caitlan, right, and they

0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:55.800
<v Speaker 2>won a national title, and our police to win another one.

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:59.160
<v Speaker 2>If they end up being over the last two years, demonse,

0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:02.560
<v Speaker 2>just the last two years. Right now, they're thirty six

0:55:02.600 --> 0:55:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and oh. This year they make the national championship game,

0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:07.600
<v Speaker 2>they're thirty seven and oh. Last year they were thirty

0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:10.799
<v Speaker 2>six and oh going into the semifinal and Caitlin beat them.

0:55:11.400 --> 0:55:13.880
<v Speaker 2>If they end up the next last two years seventy

0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:19.160
<v Speaker 2>three and two with both losses being to Caitlin Clark

0:55:19.200 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 2>in Iowa, that will be one of the most remarkable.

0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is pretty unbelievable. Man. They win the title,

0:55:27.600 --> 0:55:32.279
<v Speaker 2>they are then the undefeated defending national champions and she

0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 2>beats them in the final four. They then come back

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:38.919
<v Speaker 2>the next year, they're undefeated going into the final four.

0:55:39.040 --> 0:55:41.120
<v Speaker 2>If she then beats them in the championship game to

0:55:41.160 --> 0:55:45.239
<v Speaker 2>win the title, oh my goodness, gracious be unbelievable. All right,

0:55:45.320 --> 0:55:54.719
<v Speaker 2>answer listener questions next, What's right? All right, welcome back

0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:56.439
<v Speaker 2>in What's Right with Nick Grady. I got a run,

0:55:56.480 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 2>so we'll do this quick. The producers tell me that

0:55:59.239 --> 0:56:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Luca having a thirty four point triple double is plus

0:56:04.400 --> 0:56:08.400
<v Speaker 2>three ten. I mean, that's a bad that's a square bet.

0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think he's gonna do it. I think I

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 2>think he's gonna have thirty five points in a triple

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:20.120
<v Speaker 2>double tonight. Again, he says, dude, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, spik dude,

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 2>it's one of the things I like about him. Demon's say,

0:56:23.280 --> 0:56:26.560
<v Speaker 2>read G and G productions questions because it's about Luca.

0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 4>G and G production said Nick. What separates guys like

0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Luca that plays similar to Lebron from being as dominant

0:56:34.239 --> 0:56:36.480
<v Speaker 4>as he went as he was in his prime?

0:56:37.480 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think Luca is as dominant as Lebron was

0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:44.400
<v Speaker 2>offensively in his prime. The difference is Lebron and his

0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:47.480
<v Speaker 2>prime was the best defensive player in the league, and

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:52.400
<v Speaker 2>so the and like Luca is a better rain shooter

0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.120
<v Speaker 2>than Lebron was early in his career. Lebron obviously a

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 2>far better athlete, but Lebron also, you know, Lebron didn't

0:56:59.160 --> 0:57:03.520
<v Speaker 2>win championship it until he had better teammates around him.

0:57:03.880 --> 0:57:06.960
<v Speaker 2>And we've seen Luca carry a team to the conference finals.

0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:13.240
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I think that, uh, I think that's legit.

0:57:13.360 --> 0:57:15.839
<v Speaker 2>And then ask the follow up that the producers wrote

0:57:15.840 --> 0:57:17.120
<v Speaker 2>in there under the GM.

0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:20.160
<v Speaker 4>This question, Oh yeah, is that is that why Luca

0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:24.280
<v Speaker 4>hates the Sons too? Because they drafted eight and over him.

0:57:24.480 --> 0:57:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think he hates the Sons because of Devin Booker.

0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually think it's just about the dislike Devin Booker. Wow. Wow,

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that.

0:57:34.960 --> 0:57:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I hate the Sons, but I really don't like Devin Booker,

0:57:37.240 --> 0:57:39.800
<v Speaker 4>and I don't like he's He's pretty annoying.

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:45.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I get it. I understand that. And

0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:47.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Booker played great last night. He's been

0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:49.520
<v Speaker 2>playing great. He had fifty the other night. He's been

0:57:49.560 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 2>playing great. All Right, I gotta run, I gotta get

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to work. I also have to have my uh, blazer.

0:57:55.160 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Not my blazer, my suit jacket tailored for this wedding

0:57:57.680 --> 0:57:59.240
