The great thing about Jason Stewart's Keith Jackson 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: was he doesn't say wo Nelly. He says old Nelly. 31 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: And that's what made me laugh so much because it's 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: wo Nelly. But he does old Nelly because he knows 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: that it makes me laugh. 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 5: Whoa Nelly. 35 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: We're not going way way back. We're not going back 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: to Keith Jackson calling the prime of college football the 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies. We're not doing that. We go back to 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: the year that is twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen. Think about 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: where you were in twenty nineteen. I think, ultimately, when 40 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: you look back at twenty nineteen, it was the last 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: of normal. And we can get into all of that 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: because COVID changed everything in twenty twenty. But the reason 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen is brought up today is because of the 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: Open Championship. One of the deals when we do this 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: throwback Thursday, Sam knows it is I will talk at 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: least a minute about golf in what happened in that year. 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: And it was in twenty nineteen that Royal Port Rush 48 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: got the Open Championship for the first time, ultimately won 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: by Shane Lowry. There was a lot happening in twenty nineteen, 50 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: most notably Tiger Woods won the Masters in twenty nineteen, 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: his major, fifteenth major title. He was able to grab 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: the green jacket again at augusta National A month later. 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: The PGA Championship for the first time was played in May, 54 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: as opposed to the previous August date that it had. 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 2: Brooks kept going that at beth Page Black US Open 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: won by Gary Woodland at Pebble Beach. The Doug Gottlieb 57 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: Show broadcast live from the event that year, and then 58 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: Shane Lowery winning at Royal Port Rush to wrap up 59 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 2: the major year. But twenty nineteen, when you look back 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: on it will be the year that Tiger won his 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: fifteenth major and won the Masters again. 62 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen was when the US Open was a Pebble Beach. Yes, 63 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 3: I saw you there? Remember I was there? Yes, Yeah, 64 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: I think it was on a Friday. It's long drive up. 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 3: I don't know. We didn't budget very well. But I'll 66 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: say this really quick. I think we too often in 67 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: sports do the cliche of it's like something out of 68 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: a fairy tale. Tiger winning that Masters after everything that 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: he had been through to that point, and I know 70 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: a lot of it was self inflicted. We always have 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: to give that caveat That really was one of the 72 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: I think, you know, I'm basically forty right now. One 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: of the incredible sports moments of my entire life was 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: Tiger so down, so whatever. There so many injuries that 75 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: would have sidelined a weaker man holding on in Augustus. 76 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: So as not to pigeonhole you as non golf people, 77 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: but do you guys remember when Tiger won? 78 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 6: I do remember when he won, because it was that 79 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 6: big of a deal. 80 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: But was I watching No? 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: No, I think the memory is people remember him walking 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: back to the clubhouse at Augusta National to sign a scorecard, 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: and the long That's the thing with Rory when Rory 84 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: won the Grand Slam, and a little history lesson in 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: golf for then Burst I'll let you go. Previously, there 86 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: used to be a little shed behind the eighteenth green 87 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: at Augusta National, and that's where the players would go 88 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: in and sign their scorecard and then leave. But now 89 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: they do it in the actual structure of the of 90 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: the building and the buildings they have on site next 91 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: to the clubhouse. So you have this longer walk, which 92 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: allows them to take all the patrons because there aren't 93 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: bleachers there, they're all lined up, and allows you to 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: get that scene. But you didn't always have that scene 95 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: in golf, and in fact, only recently have you had 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: the opportunity to see that. Luckily for us, they did 97 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: it before twenty nineteen, so we could see Tiger hugging 98 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: his son as he came off the green. We would 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: always see that. But then the long walk with Charlie 100 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: and his family with all the fans around him, and 101 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: then we saw it again earlier this year with Rory 102 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: walking one of the better scenes that you have in golf. 103 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 3: I think that was one of the more memorable things 104 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: was that both of his kids, you know, because that's 105 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: the cliche, right, you know, his kids weren't there to 106 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: see him in his prime, so for him to have 107 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: that moment with them, I think was one of the 108 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 3: talking points. 109 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: And when he won in nineteen ninety seven for the 110 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: first Masters, the lasting image is his dad being there 111 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: hugging him as he came off, and so here he 112 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: was doing it to his son. But twenty nineteen, for 113 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: as great as it was for Shane Lowry and winning 114 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: in his home country at Royal Point Rush, it was 115 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: the year of Tiger Woods. All right up, you were. 116 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: Up soon as you said, twenty nineteen. There's only one 117 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: thing I could think of Joe Lsu. It is statistically 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 3: so we always just talk about it in mythological terms. 119 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: Sixty touchdowns, fifty six one hundred yards, and I understand 120 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: that in hindsight he had justin Jefferson, he had Jamar Chase, 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: but sixty touchdowns. And the craziest part about that year 122 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 3: was two things. Was one everybody that they beat to 123 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: get there. Remember they beat Alabama when they and Alabama 124 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: had Tua and Jerry Judy and unfortunately Henry Ruggs and 125 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: Devonte Smith. They beat Oklahoma and the College Football Playoff 126 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: they beat clems In with Trevor Lawrence in the College 127 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: Football Playoff. They wanted Texas. That was the first kind 128 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: of indicator that they might be a very special team. 129 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: Obviously the coach o angle of it, with everything that 130 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: he had been through in his career. I think the 131 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: other thing that stands out about that specific season, I 132 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: remember talking about it at the time. There was no 133 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: indication that it was coming. The previous year sixteen touchdowns 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: on fifty eight percent completion percentage. And by the way, 135 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: if anybody really wants to be mean today, they can 136 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: probably find takes of mine from the NFL Draft that 137 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: year where I said, well, you know, great year at LSU, 138 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: but let's look at what he did as a junior 139 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. Also worth noting you probably know this. 140 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: You know who was calling plays that year for LSU, right, uh, 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: Brail Brady, Brady, Joe Brady. And that's another twist to 142 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: all of it. So yes, Joe Burrows the face. Obviously 143 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: in hindsight, he had Jamar Chase, he had Justin Jefferson, 144 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: he had Joe Brady calling plays. But when you say 145 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, that above all is what stands. 146 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: The funny thing about it is it just wasn't on 147 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: the top of my mind. So I had the Rolodex 148 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: of all the Brady's. So it was it was Tom, 149 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: it was Kyle, it was Mike, Greg, Peter, Bobby. You 150 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: had Kyle Brady ahead of Joke. I thought you did. 151 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: I thought you were like, oh, Kyle bro Oh no, 152 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: not not I could have. 153 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: I was like, what was the first time again? I 154 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: remember it was it was Brady, and I thought, Joe 155 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: Brady's done it a good job in the NFL. Didn't 156 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: start out great, uh in Carolina, but it's really taken 157 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: off in Buffalo. Also in college football that season, two 158 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: things number one about Joe Burrow was I loved when 159 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: he ran out on Senior Day with the Burrow Yeah 160 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: a ux yes on the back for the you know, 161 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: nod to uh to all the fans in Louisiana. Great, 162 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: great way to honor and play his last game. That 163 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: was also when Ohio State got screwed on a Sean 164 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: Wade penalty against Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl and then 165 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: Justin Fields through the interception in the end zone. There's 166 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: a small part of me that's like, I'm kind of 167 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: glad they didn't play LSU in the National Championship Game. 168 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: I would have loved to actually see what it was 169 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: played out, but because of how good ellis he was, 170 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: and then you would have the Borough Ohio State tie 171 00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: into that. 172 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: Not I just Arnie Spaniard and I were on air 173 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: for that Clemson Ohio State game. So I don't remember 174 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: every detail, but I remember we were the first ones 175 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: on air, like the. 176 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: Ref screwed Ohio State. Oh thank you Taurres. Oh gosh, 177 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: oh what could have been? What did Iowauld do in 178 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: that year? I'm sure we're gonna find out, at least 179 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 2: at some point soon. Maazi, what do you remember about 180 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen? 181 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 6: All right, twenty nineteen because we're going, you know, because 182 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 6: NBA goes between two seasons, but we're obviously not talking 183 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 6: about the bubble, right or that year. We're talking twenty nineteen. 184 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 6: So that was a year that the Raptors with Kawhi 185 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 6: Leonard won the NBA Championship. And there's things I remember, 186 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 6: obviously his shot against Philadelphia, right like before going to 187 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 6: the finals, KD getting hurt in Game five. I was 188 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 6: sitting at a restaurant in downtown Disney that no longer 189 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 6: is there. I was sitting at the bar and obviously 190 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 6: having a drink I watching the game, and then he 191 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 6: goes down and everyone just like had a reaction, even 192 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 6: though it didn't see like anyone cared about the Warriors 193 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 6: at that time, especially here in so Cal. You know, 194 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 6: it's Lakers and it's maybe a little clipper, but it 195 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 6: didn't seem like anyone cared. But it was like Katie 196 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 6: going down. Everyone just had a gasp at the bar 197 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 6: and you kind of knew, all right, this is let's 198 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 6: wrap it up. And then the Raptors won it. I 199 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 6: think the following game in six games, right, So that's ever. 200 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what. 201 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 6: I remember of twenty nineteen because I like basketball, but 202 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard, Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors, can. 203 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: I come in on it? So it's funny you bring that up. 204 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 3: And it's funny you bring up what you brought up 205 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 3: because I remember the clinching night. I woke up the 206 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 3: next day to drive to the US Open, so it 207 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: all comes together. Got up early the other thing I remember, 208 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: and Dan cover your ears, but I think it was 209 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 3: game one or game two of the Eastern Conference Finals 210 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: that was either Yiannis's first or second MVP trophy and 211 00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: Kawhi was just dunking on everyone and it's crazy, and 212 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: I think, like we being sports fans, we'll tell our 213 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: kids in our grand there was I think literally a 214 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: two month window where it's like, oh, Kawhi Leonards the 215 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: best player in the world, absolutely, and then it just 216 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: you know, and it's unfortunate. And I'm not trying to 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: be sarcastic about. 218 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: Which I am, of course, but it was like, you can't. 219 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: Deny that at that exact moment in time, It's like, oh, 220 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: he's the freaking dude. And I just remember watching Game 221 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: one of the Bucks series. You know again, Yanni's no 222 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: just MVP whatever, and it's like, oh, Kawhi is the 223 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 3: best player on this floor. He's the best player in 224 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: the world. And it was a very short window, and 225 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: it's obviously unfortunate. We haven't seen much of it. 226 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: The funny thing about that, and I'll get to it 227 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: in a sect, but Manti, you remember what I've told 228 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: you about that seventy six Ers shot right where I've 229 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: said as a Bucks fan, I was like, good, I'm 230 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: glad they get to play the Raptors, and I'm the Sixers. 231 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: I wanted them to face Toronto. The Bucks were up 232 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: two zero in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game three, they 233 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: lost in Toronto in overtime. It was a game that 234 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: Toronto had led, uh threw out. The Bucks were fortunate 235 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: to force overtime. But again, you force overtime, you have 236 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: a chance to win it. Milwaukee could have been up 237 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: three to zero in that series. Instead, they lose Game 238 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 2: three and honestly like it sucked the life out of them. 239 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: They lost Game four. Then when it game the rest 240 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: of the series, Toronto won it in six. When they 241 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 2: went to Game six in Milwaukee, Yeah, I was just like, oh, 242 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: here we go again. And it was to that point 243 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: of what Kawhi was. But you're absolutely You're absolutely right 244 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: about that, Ryan Berschinger. 245 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 4: So for twenty nineteen, the first thing I have to 246 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 4: mention first and foremost, twenty nineteen is the year I 247 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: met my wife. 248 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: Ah, twenty nineteen, this year I got married. 249 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, you look man, Birs just made you geeze. 250 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 4: And I also bring that up because ten days prior 251 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 4: to us meeting was when the Dodgers were eliminated from 252 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 4: the postseason. What I remember about twenty nineteen In the postseason, 253 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 4: of course, the Washington Nationals ended up beating the Ashos 254 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 4: in seven games. It was a notable World Series because 255 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 4: the road team won every single game of that World Series, 256 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 4: which is wild. The Nationals, on their path to the 257 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: World Series, eliminated the Dodgers in the Division Series. The 258 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: Dodgers won a one hundred and six games that season, 259 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 4: and that one was extra brutal because as Dodger fans 260 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 4: were coming off of back to back World Series losses 261 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 4: and a team coming into the postseason with one hundred 262 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: and six wins. Cody Bellinger won MVP that season, so 263 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: as stacked roster as it was for a few seasons there. 264 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 4: And then they lost Game five at home because for 265 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 4: whatever reason, Clayton kershawf famously a relief pitcher, came in 266 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 4: in the seventh inning and pitched to both Anthony Rendon 267 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 4: and Juan Soto and gave home run, gave up home 268 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: runs to each of them. The Nationals then took the 269 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: lead and went on to win that game. Howie Kendrick 270 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 4: hit like a three run bomb off of Joe Kelly, 271 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: putting it out of reach, and it was it was 272 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 4: miserable and as as a Dodger fan, it felt like, wow, 273 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: this is it's really never going to happen. 274 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 5: You know. 275 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: Thankfully it has, so you don't have to feel bad 276 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: for me anymore. It's okay, it's okay. 277 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I was doing. The night of 278 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: Game seven of the World Series. My wife's friend had 279 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: an event at her house where these people were signing 280 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: their cookbook how I Channel eleven you talk about love 281 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: and you're getting married and you meeting your your future bride. 282 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: My wife says, you know, her friend, she's having the authors. 283 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: She knows one of the authors. They wrote a cookbook 284 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: about Armenian food. She's going to have a signing. They're 285 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: going to kind of explain it. She's going to do 286 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: it in her She has a garage that set up 287 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: like a really cool library. It's actually a really neat setup. 288 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: But I'm like, well, it's Game seven. I do this 289 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: for a living. So they set up the TV in 290 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: their house. Because everybody was outside at this, I could 291 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: then just watch the game in the living room while 292 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: they went out. And if it was game four, I 293 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: would have just been like, all right, I'll be with you. 294 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: But when it was Game seven. 295 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: That's kind they understood. They got it, yes, well, really 296 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: quick to tie all these stories together, similar to you 297 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: Kawhi twenty nineteen, me getting married.

You know, it's funny, 323 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 7: you know, the whole like punting is winning thing was 324 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 7: only like a couple of seasons like there they had 325 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 7: decent offenses in fact, when in the COVID year they 326 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 7: were like the third best offense in the Big Ten, 327 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 7: went under Brian Fernce. 328 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: But I digress. Uh. 329 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 7: That season, Iowa faced five ranked opponents in football. They 330 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 7: lost their first three. They still churned out a nine 331 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: and three regular season. They clipped undefeated Minnesota at home 332 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 7: towards the end of the season, so it was kind 333 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 7: of like the cherry on top. Then they went and 334 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 7: played USC number twenty two USC in the Holiday Bowl 335 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 7: whipped up on him as the last game played at 336 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 7: Qualcomm Stadium. 337 00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: I was there. 338 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: It was in Iowa blow. 339 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 7: There's something about Hollidy Bulls for Iowa. They go and 340 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 7: they win them and then when they go to Rose 341 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 7: Bulls they just get trounced. So it's something like San Diego. 342 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 7: They feel safe and secure, then then when they're in 343 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 7: Pasadena they just get their pants pulled down. 344 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: Well, I want to just I want to wrap it 345 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: up with this. We're not gonna have time for movies 346 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: or music, and I know, what do you want to 347 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: play it as as we go out? Because I want 348 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: to make that point. 349 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 7: I would just say this did interesting collaboration. Everyone was 350 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 7: rocking out to this in twenty nineteen. Let's hear it 351 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 7: in true Jason Stewart fashion. This is what Kyle Guy 352 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 7: listened to in his headphones. There you go prior to 353 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 7: the Final four in Minnesota. Wow, As we didn't even 354 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 7: touch on the craziness of that final four, what led 355 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 7: Virginia to getting to the final four, how close Purdue 356 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 7: was at that time to ending their streak, to have 357 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 7: Mama doing yeah d'akite end up hitting the shot at 358 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 7: the buzzard a force overtime, and then Guy getting fouled 359 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 7: in the corner and making the three free throws that 360 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 7: he needed to to bea at Auburn and then overtime 361 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 7: against Texas Tech Magnificent Final four. 362 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: You know what's funny is I said earlier with the 363 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: Tiger twenty nineteen Masters, and everyone's like, oh, it's like 364 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 3: a fairy tale. That the one that I feel like 365 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: it's so overhyped. And he came up this week in 366 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 3: nerdy college basketball circles. But Tony Bennett, they lost to 367 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: a sixteen seed and he rallied the troops and it's like, yeah, 368 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 3: but losing to a sixteen seed is still on the resume, 369 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 3: Like and oh, by the way, they didn't have DeAndre Hunter, 370 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: who's a ten year NBA VET at this point, eight 371 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 3: year NBA VET whatever. But it came up this week 372 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 3: because let me just put it this way, The Athletic 373 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 3: did a poll of top college basketball coaches of the 374 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 3: twenty first century. Tony Bennett was very high on the list. 375 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: It was a very hot topic in the Yukon community, 376 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 3: which has two separate coaches which have won. 377 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: Multiple national champs. Bid Yukon be disrespected. 378 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 3: I mean, how is Jim Calhoun the thirteenth best coach 379 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 3: of the century. I so, I guess it. But anyway, 380 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: but that was twenty nineteen Tony Bennett, and that's I 381 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 3: think it's a little bit overrated. 382 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: I'm kidding, and that's twenty nineteen for us. 383 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 6: You don't call it. 384 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 5: A throwback. 385 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: Auburn so close and yet now so far away Texas Tech. 386 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: Do you remember, No, that's what I said. Though you 387 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 2: meet him in overtime? Yes, yes, he's erin Torres.

Even my wife doesn't want to take that title 407 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 5: for me, So I don't know what to say. Man, 408 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 5: I'm not sure where I go with it. 409 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: All Right? 410 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: What does the lead NBA rider managing editor at NBC 411 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: dot com think of the Bradley Beal signing with the 412 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Clippers. 413 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 5: I think it's a good signing for the Clippers at 414 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 5: that price. Look, the question wasn't could Bradley Beal still 415 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 5: play some like? Bradley Beal is still a solid player, even 416 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: if Beast declined a little. It was the fifty million 417 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 5: dollars was kind of the issue, making teams balked. The 418 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 5: Clippers get, amit you five point three million this year? 419 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 5: That's a good salary. And he steps right into a 420 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 5: role for them. Everybody in the league knew this was 421 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 5: going to happen the second they traded Norm Powell Like this, 422 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 5: he steps right into the role Norm Powell had for 423 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 5: them last year, kind of off the bench runs the 424 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 5: second unit can play next to James Harden, shoot threes, 425 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: defend a little, give them twenty five to thirty solid 426 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 5: minutes to night and we're gonna see if Field can 427 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 5: still do that. I kind of think he's going to 428 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 5: be I know, if he's going to be as good 429 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 5: as Norm Powell was last year. Who was I think 430 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: people kind of slept on that because nobody was watching 431 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 5: the Clippers. He was like a borderline All Star. He 432 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 5: was really good last year. But I think he'll be solid. 433 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 5: So I think it at that price, man, it's a 434 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: good signing. 435 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, if Lebron was going to sit out the game, 436 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 2: Norman Paul was the one who caught the expense of 437 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: that deal, the whole deal he could get a play 438 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 2: it in the game. Sorry, go ahead erin. 439 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 3: No, it's okay. I was actually gonna ask the most 440 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 3: cliche NBA sports talk radio question imaginable, which is about 441 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: Lebron James and basically, is there like, is there a 442 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 3: market for him? Is there a scenario where he isn't 443 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 3: a Laker? Because I just look at a guy making 444 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: fifty three million next year all of the caveats that 445 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: come with that, and I think it's fun to talk 446 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 3: about Lebron James hypothetically on another team this coming season. 447 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: I just don't know how that's realistic. 448 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 5: You kind of nailed it like this. Look, I just 449 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 5: got back because six days in Vegas was enough. Man, 450 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 5: I had to get out. But I I mean, at 451 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 5: six days in Vegas, that's what the topic at Summer League. 452 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 5: Everybody wanted to talk about it. But kind of like 453 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 5: you said, everybody wanted to talk about it, and within 454 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 5: about a minute the conversation. Conversation turned to a shrug. 455 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 5: Because Lebron has a no trade clause, so he's not 456 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 5: going to go first off. Historically has never given money back, 457 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 5: right Like he He's not like, hey, hey I don't 458 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 5: need all fifty million. No, that's not how Lebron has 459 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 5: ever operated. He signed the contract, he gets his money. 460 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 5: The other part of that is since he has no 461 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: trade clause, he completely controls the process and where he's 462 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 5: going to go. And he's only going to go to 463 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 5: a couple of teams, like he might be open to 464 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 5: New York or Cleveland or you know, you can come 465 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 5: up with a couple where he might be interested, but 466 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 5: then put together a trade and it falls apart quickly, 467 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 5: like there's just no Cleveland is a favorite example, like 468 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 5: a lot of fans wanted to go back there. They 469 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 5: are over the second apron, which means they can't even 470 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 5: aggregate players in that trade. It has to be a 471 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 5: one for one swap of almost exact money. They can't 472 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 5: take back more money. The Lakers can't really take back 473 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 5: more money. There's just no deal to be made. And 474 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 5: it's kind of that way across the board everywhere you look. 475 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 5: So I know it's been written about. I kind of 476 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 5: followed up with what Dan Roiki wroad, but everybody assumes 477 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 5: right now he is a Laker, probably all of next season, 478 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 5: now next summer. Then it gets interesting. 479 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 2: Kurt heil enjoining us here on Fox Sports Radio. He's 480 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 2: herein Tores. I'm Dan Byer in for Doug Gottlieb. I 481 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: was here the morning that Lebron opted in and ended 482 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: up not getting an extension or getting a one and 483 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: one from the Lakers. How much did that catch the 484 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 2: rest of the league off guard? Because that's my thought, Kurt, 485 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 2: you can correct me if I'm wrong that no other 486 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: team was built or ready to maybe have Lebron this season. 487 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: How much did that play into it? In the other 488 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: team's being surprised. 489 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 5: There were teams with some optionality there just because everybody 490 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 5: was everybody was still playing the what about Yiannis game? Right, 491 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 5: And there was plenty of market for Yannis at a 492 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 5: similar price point, just because at this point in their careers, 493 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 5: with Yannis being like ten years younger, he's just better, right, 494 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: Like Yannis is still a guy you can build a 495 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 5: championship team around. So there was some optionality, but there 496 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: wasn't much. And I think you got it right when 497 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 5: the reaction around the league was largely, oh, he opted in. 498 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 5: He doesn't. He didn't use his leverage to get a 499 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 5: second year or anything. He just opted in and released 500 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 5: what was a W was gonna call it a passive 501 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 5: aggressive statement, a semi aggressive statement. It was a little 502 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 5: more than passive. Through Rich Paul, it really read around 503 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 5: the league as like, I'm not happy not being like 504 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: he's been the focus of every team he's ever been on, right, 505 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 5: He's been the focus and he's not now, and it's 506 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 5: kind of a weird vibe for him. 507 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, no, I I actually I was talking 508 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: to my wife about this exact thing. We live in 509 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 3: LA and I was kind of explaining like it's just 510 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: the first time since he was sixteen that everything isn't 511 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 3: built around him. I actually, I don't want to turn 512 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 3: this into a Lebron segment, but I think it's inevitable. 513 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 3: I will ask you because I feel like, and I 514 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 3: know I believe you at least used to live in 515 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: southern California current I don't know, Okay, Yeah, I wanted 516 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: to ask you because I do think living in LA. 517 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 3: I'm not a born and bred LA or Lakers fan whatever. 518 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 3: I think it's an interesting conversation about what his legacy 519 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 3: would be assuming that nothing crazy happens, and what we 520 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: assume is his final season next year, because yes, he 521 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 3: brought a title to the city. Yes they made a 522 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: Western Conference finals, but you could correct us. I mean 523 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: multiple mis playoffs, multiple first round exits, including this year, 524 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 3: and we know what the standard of the Lakers is 525 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 3: with all of the all time greats. I would just 526 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 3: be curious if next season goes as planned they don't 527 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 3: win a championship, because I don't think they're among the favorites. 528 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: What do you think his legacy specifically as a Laker 529 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 3: will be to that specific fan base. 530 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, first off, they're not winning a championship this year 531 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 5: without some changes. Really, the only thing they lack is 532 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 5: defense and shooting. But aside. 533 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 2: Doug's famous line is other than that, Missus Lincoln, how 534 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: is the show. 535 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 5: Pretty pretty much the same thing as a Laker. It's 536 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 5: a second tier thing, right, Like he did bring a championship. 537 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 5: He was the face of the franchise for a while 538 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 5: for years and filled the building. But he's not going 539 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 5: to be Kobe Magic Shack, you know one Jerry West. 540 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 5: He's a little ahead of Eddie, he's behind George Miken. Still, 541 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 5: it's but it's kind of a second tier thing, largely 542 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 5: because of just he was. I mean, he's been with 543 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 5: the Lakers. This would be the eighth season, I believe, 544 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 5: So it's not like it's no time, but it is. 545 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 5: It is one ring, and it's not quite the same 546 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 5: iconic legacy that you know, Kobe spent his entire career 547 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 5: there and did all this Magic spent his entire career 548 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 5: there and did you know West, same thing. So it's 549 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 5: just a little bit of a different vibe because Lebron 550 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 5: bounced around a little bit like that. So I would 551 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 5: say that's kind of the difference. But it is definitely 552 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 5: second with the Lakers alone. It's second tier. Winning that 553 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 5: championship in LA. And how well he's still playing at 554 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 5: age forty is part really part of and kind of 555 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 5: at the heart that that legacy and how good he's 556 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 5: been for so long is at the legacy of his 557 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 5: goat argument right like that he's still He's still I 558 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 5: was putting together my vote last year. I'm like he's 559 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 5: second team All NBA. He is still a top ten 560 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 5: player in the league at forty and and that's insane. 561 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,959 Speaker 2: Kurt heal enjoining us here on Fox Sports Radio. He's 562 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: erin Torres. I'm Dan Byer in for Doug kur At, 563 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: the lead NBA writer for MBSC sports dot Com covering 564 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: the association. I do have some summer league questions, but 565 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: I've got i't won more of a big name in 566 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: the NBA. And it's this latest profile put out by 567 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 2: ESPN on Joel Embiid in the seventy six ers. Now 568 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 2: you got Paul George with another knee surgery. Things doesn't 569 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: seem to be a great offseason for Philadelphia, although the 570 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 2: draft wise they could be working out all right, But 571 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: where are the Sixers at this point? And should there 572 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 2: be any concern that Joel Embiid's worried about locker room 573 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: leaks as opposed to maybe his health and everything next season. 574 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, you should be worried about everything with the Sixers, 575 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 5: locker room leaks, knees hips, feet, you know. I guys, 576 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 5: I'm honestly for later tonight or tomorrow. I was putting 577 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 5: together my NBA Power rankings that will come out, like 578 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 5: I said, later tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on what 579 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 5: my editor wants. But I have them. I think fourteenth 580 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 5: in the middle, and I'm like, this is either too 581 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 5: high or too low. And I don't know. I don't 582 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 5: know what to do with that team because if it clicks, 583 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 5: like you said, well, Vja Edge Home's really nice, really 584 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 5: athletic for people who haven't got to see him play. Stylistically, 585 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 5: he's not as good as Anthony Edwards, but he plays 586 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 5: with that kind of downhill athletic force, like he's that 587 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 5: style of player. You put him back there with Jared 588 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 5: McCain and and they're a point guard and suddenly you've 589 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 5: got like a really nice combo. But it all still 590 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 5: hinges on Embiid and Paul George, like with Tyres Maxy. 591 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 5: They got a future with those guys, but it's still 592 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 5: all about George and Embiid being healthy and now they're 593 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 5: having both having some offseat, you know, coming back, and 594 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 5: I don't know if we're gonna be ready for training camp, 595 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 5: and yeah, I don't know, man, I generally don't know 596 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 5: what to do with that team. 597 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: All I was gonna say last one for me. You 598 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 3: mentioned the power rank. He's certainly not going to ask 599 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 3: you to reveal too much, but is there a team 600 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 3: that maybe maybe you're either a little bit higher on 601 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 3: or a little bit lower on than the consensus. 602 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 5: Then the consensus. I'm really high on Orlando. I think 603 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 5: they're I think they're third in the East and climbing fast. 604 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 5: The Desmond Bane pickup was great. They got some shooting 605 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 5: to go. Tyas Jones was kind of a perfect little 606 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 5: backup point guard fit. I really like where that team 607 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 5: is headed. The other team who had a really good 608 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 5: offseason in the East and the East just feels more open, 609 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 5: Like Houston had a great off season and everybody knows 610 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 5: it and they're contenders, but Atlanta had a really nice offseason, guys, 611 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 5: and like suddenly they get Jalen Johnson back and healthy, 612 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 5: which would be huge because he was monster last year 613 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 5: until he got injured. They got some better depth and 614 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 5: everything around them. And if Poorzing, like if porzingis is healthy, man, 615 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 5: that that's another team to be top four and a 616 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 5: kind of a threat in the playoffs in the East 617 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 5: because they've got all the pieces if they can just 618 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 5: if it just comes together right For Quinn Snyder, I'm 619 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 5: really intrigued by them. 620 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: Atlanta and Orlando a new world Eastern Conference in the NBA. 621 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: All right, before we let you go, Curtie Elin, after 622 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: six days in Vegas, what are your what's your biggest 623 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: Summer league takeaway from what you saw in Sin City? 624 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 5: Oh wow, look at the top of the list. I'll 625 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 5: give you the one. Cooper Flag is as good as 626 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 5: the hype. Like he was struggled a little with his 627 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: shot in his first game. Carter Bryant did a nice 628 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 5: defensive job on him for the Spurs for a stretch. 629 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 5: But the end of the day, what's great about him 630 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 5: is like even when his shot wasn't falling, his floor 631 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: is like multiple time All Star because he just defends 632 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 5: and he hustles and he gets points in transition and 633 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 5: he can do all this. He does everything else well. 634 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 5: And if like your concern is just like he's got 635 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 5: to work on his handles and his his you know, 636 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 5: ability to create offense, A little like that will come 637 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 5: so he lives up to the hype. I'll tell you 638 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 5: the other guy who's just fun, Yang Hansen, the Chinese. 639 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 5: Like we all went who what seem like he's a 640 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 5: second round pick. I like, he's got to get a 641 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 5: lot stronger. His defense is as bad as advertised. It's 642 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 5: it's an issue. He's fun. 643 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: You said fun, You said Carter Bryant. I thought as well, 644 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 2: lost of what he did for San Antonio. 645 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 5: I love that pick. Again, there's a guy where the 646 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 5: offense needs to come along. But the fact that you're 647 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 5: going to go out on on with what they've got 648 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 5: out there. Look, the aarn't Fox is a pretty good defender. 649 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 5: People kind of forget. You're gonna get around Fox, or 650 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 5: you're gonna have to fight around Dylan Harper, who's long 651 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 5: and athletic and a really good defender, or you get 652 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 5: by Carter Bryant on the wing. You're like, man, that 653 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 5: was a lot of work. Oh it's Wemby, Sure, that's 654 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 5: going to be a top ten defensive team this year, 655 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 5: and as their offense starts to click. You like when 656 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 5: you talk to people in Vegas about like the future, 657 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,479 Speaker 5: and everybody's like, right now, right, you got to get 658 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 5: past Oklahoma City and and did Houston do enough to 659 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 5: Denver who had a great offseason? Do enough? You start 660 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 5: talking two or three years down the line, they're all like, yeah, no, 661 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 5: San Antonio's gonna be so good when it all They've 662 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 5: got a lot of good young players. Wemby started not 663 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 5: starting to figure it out. He's ten best player in 664 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 5: the world.

There's 711 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 6: a story on ESPN that he squashed any speculation that 712 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 6: Stewart could possibly return to college, saying that that's not happening. 713 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 6: He is there, he's working out with us, he likes 714 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 6: working out with us, he likes our program. 715 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 3: We look forward to seeing. 716 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,399 Speaker 6: Him in a Bengals uniform and wish him the best 717 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 6: of luck. 718 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 3: Somebody sent me that story this week, like oh, could 719 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 3: Shamar Stewart be eligible? I'm like, he's going to play 720 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 3: for the Bengals stops.

I'll let you know that TJ. 739 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 6: Watt's making a lot more money. He was already making 740 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 6: a lot of money. Now he's gonna make even more money, 741 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 6: becoming the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history for 742 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 6: the second time in his career. He and the Steelers 743 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 6: reached an agreement today three years, one hundred and twenty 744 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 6: three million dollar extension. It includes one hundred and eight 745 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 6: million fully guaranteed as signing. 746 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 3: It's forty one million. 747 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 6: Per year average, so it's the highest. He just surpassed 748 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 6: Jamar Chase who's making forty point twenty five, Miles Garrett 749 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 6: making forty, Danil Hunter thirty five point six, Max Crosby 750 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 6: thirty five point five, Justin Jefferson Justin Jefferson thirty five. 751 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 6: So that's those are the non quarterback contract that he 752 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 6: just hearn Taurus. 753 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 8: His take on these signings, I give credit to Rob 754 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 8: Parker Odd Couple. He said, every year we freak out 755 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 8: about all these guys that are holding out want new contracts. 756 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 8: He says, name me one that doesn't get signed, And 757 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 8: ever since then it has changed my whole perspective on 758 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 8: all of these stories. 759 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 2: So the funny thing is, I think the news actually 760 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 2: broke when Aaron Rodgers signed his contract because there was 761 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 2: no way the Steelers were going to go into this 762 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 2: season without TJ. Watt, So he was going to get 763 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: his deal, and if you let it go into the 764 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: training camp, you're risking injury. If he's not doing stuff. 765 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: This way, he gets acclimated and can have a normal 766 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: training camp. Yeah, it shouldn't be much of a surprise. 767 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 6: Speaking of training camp, the Colts are getting ready for 768 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 6: their training camp, and apparently Anthony Richardson that shoulder injury 769 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 6: that he had, he's already recovered. They're saying he's throwing. 770 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 6: He's preparing to report to training camp. So all of 771 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 6: a sudden, we have a quarterback. 772 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 2: Competition controversy in Indianapolis. Exactly. It's not just going to 773 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: be Daniel Jones. 774 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 3: It's just just say least interesting quarterback controversy. 775 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: But there's also, I hate to say it, there's also 776 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 2: the risk that Anthony Richardson could get hurt again. That's 777 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 2: that's aside from the play. It's also his injuries that 778 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 2: make him not be able to progress and get better 779 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: at quarterback. It's just been a mess so far. So 780 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if we're still out of the woods. 781 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 3: He could also just be fully healthy and get tired 782 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 3: and ask out of games to that that also could happen. 783 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 2: I think we have another look back at the SP's 784 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: last night. Good miss it if you missed it? What 785 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 2: do we miss? 786 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 4: Now? Here are the nominees for the best athlete men's sport. 787 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 3: How about home Off. 788 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 2: For JT?
