19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: We can, Yeah, yeah, sure, I mean, I I just

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: think about now the week is here, and now every

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: single thought is well the Patriots or Donald or Darnald

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: or the Patriots, Donald and the Patriots. We did a

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: good job last week getting away from it. I mean,

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: obviously it was still concerning a Patriot for a very

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: long time. That tormented you, but you got to mock

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: him in his absence from Hall of Fame balloting, so

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: you had some fun with.

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: That at their expense. But but now it is in

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: etern Is Super Week.

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: Now Syracuse couldn't get a win for you to start

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: the week, so bad job by them. But we got

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: NBA stuff, the trade deadline. We could stalk Olympics if

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: you want sure.

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it was fine.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: And then I did a hit with our buddy Softy

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Softy in Seattle right before the show, and I was

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: just like, now you gotta we all find out about

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I watch the Patriots win or the

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Seahawks win. I'm like, oh, because I do. I keep

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: going back and forth with Okay, can't root for the Patriots,

41
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: so I'm leaning Seattle because Sam Donald's a goodude nothing Seattle.

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: But then I'm like, how am I gonna feel if

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: he's holding up the Lombardi Trophy and the confetti is

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: coming down and all the questions from Chris collins Worth

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: are your journey has been great from the beginning to now,

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: And he's saying how awesome it is, and he's crying

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: and everybody's crying, and I'm goin to go.

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm gona No.

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's okay at the Patriots win again. Nope, Nope,

50
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: can't have that. No, it's it's it's like I feel

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: like it's an Indiana Jones movie where I can't go

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: forward because I'd fall off the cliff, but I can't

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: go back because the bad guys are all chasing. I'm like, ah,

54
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: I can't go either way, Like there's that Okay, that way, thanks,

55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: I'll go back. No, that way's no good. Nope, that

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: way's no good. There's no win. This is where you

57
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: really hope that there's some superpower you've let yet to

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: unleash there and no, you can like try to jump

59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you jump out of the

60
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: gym and into the sky and out of trouble.

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: But no, it's waiting for you there.

72
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: because today is the one year anniversary of a day

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: that everybody remembers. Everybody's world is rocked with the news

74
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: of the Luka Dantic trade to the Lakers. Luca gets

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: dealt to the Lakers. Anthony Davis is going the other way.

76
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Nobody could believe it was real. People thought Sham's charania

77
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: was hacked. He had to put out a second statement saying, no,

78

Speaker 1: the Lakers. This is the trade. Who the hell is

82
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Nico Harrison a guy getting fired in a few months?

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Sure what now it was? You know, this is the

84
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: one year anniversary of the biggest NBA trade that any

85
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: of us have seen. And now you look a year

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: in advance, especially you know, coming off the Lakers lost

87
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: to the Knicks yesterday, Go New York, Go, New York, Go,

88
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Go New York, Go, New York Go.

89
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: I just want to watch that lebron air balling. Yeah, yeah,

90
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: that was fine. Remember the Hey Frog getting honest? Well, yeah, okay,

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: that's okay.

92
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: You need them clearly more than we do because we

93
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: just needed Landry Shamitt. I don't know if you knew

94
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: that we just needed Landry Shammitt to come back.

95
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: We're just lucky we didn't let Bronny come in and

96
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: drop thirty.

97
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: On you go New York, Go, New York Go. So

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: on the one year anniversary, Where do things sit for

99
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers? And we'll give you a b I'll give

100
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: you a big hot take that I think we've been

101
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: coming to for a while for the Lakers, getting Luca right,

102
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: where are we on this thing?

103
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: Everything will be fine for the Lakers.

104
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: Wait for it. Wait for it next season. They're fine now.

105
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: They pretty much have the same record they did a

106
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: year ago. Now they're trying to rebuild the team, but

107
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: now you're rebuilding it around a new star. It takes

108
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of time. The Lakers are where they

109
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: were a year ago. Maybe they'd be better if Austin

110
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Reeves hadn't gotten hurt or if Reeves was playing and

111
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Lebron wasn't, because clearly it's about the the putting the

112
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: roster together and not than not anything that's on the

113
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: floor itself. But really, the Lakers will be fine when

114
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: they can put the roster together with the vision of

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: what does Luca need right and it needs the three

116
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and D guys. He needs the rim runners up and

117
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: down the floor, and the Lakers have done a pretty

118
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: good job getting some of that, but the rest of

119
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: it they're going to need to still get because Lebron is,

120
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, sucking up fifty million dollars in salary right now,

121
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: and defensively, he's not the same guy he was. So okay,

122
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: the Lakers are part way there, and they're a team

123
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: that can do a lot of damages here. Look, Luca's

124
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: leading the league in scoring, He's playing terrific, He's a

125
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: triple double every night. Like they're getting what they want.

126
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Got to remember he's still in his mid twenties, and

127
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you have an off season now once you get out

128
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: from under Lebron to bring in whatever you need. Three

129
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: and D guys are big right now, You got Austin

130
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Reeves is going to be your number two and has

131
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: been your number two. And when they didn't have Lebron,

132
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: the team looked a lot better. So there still is

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: some work to do. But this is not suddenly where

134
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: oh the Lakers are a failure. No, they'll be fine.

135
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: They'll be fine next year when they can have another offseason,

136
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: because it kind of and it sucks because I get

137
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers whole philosophy of well, what do we do here?

138
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: We only had Luca and Lebron together for a short

139
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: period of time and they didn't make the playoffs, and okay,

140
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: so let's not blow it up. Let's give them a chance.

141
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: Let's give a chance for this season and see where

142
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: we're at, and then we can move on because Luca's

143
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: only twenty six years old. Okay, so I completely get

144
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: it and that that's how they're gonna go. But now

145
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: you're seeing that, boy, we can't move on from Lebron

146
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: fast enough because while Lebron still gets his the team

147
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: is not nearly playing as well as they did when

148
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: he was out earlier this year. Yeah, I mean, we

149
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: have those clutch wins right final five minutes and you

150
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: can go through a bunch of metrics and just pick

151
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: your time frames to show how great they can be

152
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: in moments. But overall, defensively, you got two guys that

153
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: give you zero in Luca and Lebron, And we've chronicled

154
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: that going back to when they were first joined at

155
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: the hip, when it all all went down and Lebron

156
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: opted into his fifty three million dollars, I mean that

157
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: stopped the heart beating on all of this. Had to

158
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: put it on ice and wish and hope. It's like,

159
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Dad Williams stuff, What do you want

160
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: to do? Walt Disney, and you're just waiting until you

161
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: can figure out the fix and go from there and

162
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: fix the glitch. He's got a no trade clause, so

163
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: ultimately you're at his whims as to what he.

164
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: Wants to do when he wants to go.

165
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: And as much as you want to distancing yourselves from him,

166
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: you can't because you gave him the opt in clause

167
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and he decided to be come back and either for

168
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: his own machiavellian delicious theater of it of it could

169
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: be just good enough to where people still say, look

170
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: at there's shades of what I am because his stats

171
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: look great, right if you don't have defensive numbers added in?

172
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Oh don't you just look at five point eight and

173
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: what six point six? That looks great? I could get

174
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: that guy could come in and help any team. Does

175
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: he really? No, No, he does not. It's a he's

176
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: a ball stop. I mean that he checked three. It

177
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: might have been the most laughable thing that I've seen

178
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: outside of a pickup game at a local gym, right

179
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: where the guy decides, hey, watch this, I finally have

180
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: a chance to take a shot, and I will, And

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: then he said all the stuff about the guard or

182
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: whatever else people were complaining about how much it costs

183
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: to go to the game. Shut up, just be done

184
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: with it. It might be the last time he plays there.

185
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: It's the Garden, it's the Lakers, it's the Knicks, it's

186
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: all of those things. So the belly aching of all

187
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: of that, it's just the kind of.

188
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: The equation of Lebron.

189
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: You still, as much as you want to take the

190
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: cards from him, you haven't done so by force. You

191
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: still let him play his hand out, And even at

192
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, you still have to sit and wait

193
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: for him to decide how long he wants to stay

194
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: in whatever this purgatory is. Now here's the bigger thing,

195
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: right for the last year. Think about this because this

196
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: is something. This is a twenty year story that is

197
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: about to end. Do I mean Lebron not playing. No,

198
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: he's not gonna go out like this. He's a second

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: team All Star. I mean, come on, injury replacement. He's

200
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: not getting gonna finish shunted to the side. Like I said,

201
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: he'll finish in Cleveland. Been saying it for your congratulations

202
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: to everybody wants to jump on that take.

203
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: You've done well.

204
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: But what we have seen now since the trade in

205
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the last year is that in general, and by that

206
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean the Lakers, the NBA itself, the players, NBA fans,

207
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: everyone has moved on from Lebron being the straw that

208
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: stirs the drink, from Lebron being the end all be

209
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: all of everything in the NBA, from Lebron being a

210
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: guy that sparks debates. Every single debate show on TV

211
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: was about Lebron. We have now moved past Lebron, and

212
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers kind of push it in that direction by saying, hey,

213
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: we got Luca Now where Luca driven and Lebron tick

214
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: tick tick. You can see the end happening, but just

215
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: the fact you see the way the Lakers have dealt

216
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: with Lebron. Look how conversations and the overall newsworthiness of

217
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Lebron James in the last year has really gone way down.

218
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Like even up to last year, Lebron was the dominant

219
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: player in every sports conversation. Was he the best player

220
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: in the league. No, but we still talked Lebron eight

221
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: times more than we talked about Shay Gilgess, Alexander or

222
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks or the Celtics or the Warriors or Lebron

223
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: was still that guy. He was still the biggest. He

224
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: was Tiger Woods of the PGA Tour. And when Tiger

225
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: stopped playing and stopped being in tournaments and was it,

226
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: he was like, Wow, who do we talk about? There's

227
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: nobody and the PGA Tour. Hey, now suddenly we can

228
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: break off and have live golf and up PGA. You're

229
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna bleed guys to us. But in the last year,

230
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: Lebron no longer is that guy. He's no longer someone

231
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: where something he says or just a little bit of

232
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: a tweet or a like on social media, where before

233
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: it was we foamed at the mouth for Lebron James content.

234
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: We've so far fallen off that now we've moved past Lebron,

235
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: like we no longer Hey, what does Lebron think? What

236
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: about Lebron and the Lakers off? This is all Lebron's fault.

237
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: He stinks it's all that. We're not talking about that anymore.

238
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Lebron is now a side character in the NBA for

239
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: the first time in twenty years, because he came into

240
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: the league. Was suddenly, hey, yeah we had Kobe and

241
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Shaq and Duncan and everybody else and all these other

242
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: All Stars, and yeah, Giannis makes a big run to

243
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Steph Curry and the Warriors dynasty. But it was Lebron, Lebron, Lebron, Lebron,

244
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: whatever he did. And now it's like, yeah, Lebron he is.

245
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: He's like, he's falling off the radar as far as

246
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: being someone that stirs debate and content, he's gone from that. No,

247
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: seeh I disagree because we're still talking about his trade value,

248
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: if any, the potential of him going home, all of

249
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: the stuff that came out of the bus family plots

250
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: and everything else, and it still drives it. The difference

251
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: is everybody's not a sycophant at this point. It's kind

252
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: of like Aaron Rodgers a couple of years ago. Right,

253
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was everything, and then he started speaking out

254
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: and you started seeing the darkness retreats or whatever. Suddenly

255
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: you know, the player that I'd questioned in his final

256
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: years in Green Bay. Suddenly it was okay to go

257
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: after Aaron Rodgers, just like now the Lebron James stuff

258
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: is no longer. Hey, we have to kiss his ass

259
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: because now he's not the top guy. He's now a

260
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: guy we can go poke at because we're still not

261
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: getting the running start, like Giannis is getting run because

262
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: it's a trade deadline. But in general, nobody cares Jokich. Okay,

263
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: he's back and healthy. And Oklahoma City they're boring. He's great,

264
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: it's great, but they're boring. But we're not to find that.

265
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: That's why the NBA is going to be like the

266
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. It's like, well, when when Tiger's not there,

267
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: what do we do?

268
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: Well?

269
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: Hey, the NBA was extremely lucky to go from Magic

270
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: and Larry to Jordan to Kobe and Shaq and Lebron,

271
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: and now it's gonna be Okay, there's not that guy.

272
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Who do we get to prop up?

273
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: Is that?

274
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: Well?

275
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: The Knicks? Obviously the Knicks. I mean, obviously I can't

276
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: do it as a.

277
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: Single. Obviously it's charity. It's obvious, dude.

278
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: Take the L Frost charity, Take the L, Take the

279
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: L from yesterday, Take the L that you wear. I mean,

280
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: Cooper flag would be great, but they stink. And nobody's

281
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: gonna make Canipa the guy because they don't want to

282
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: say his name. But Lebron Lebron. There's still some conversation.

283
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: Obviously trade deadline is here with Lebron, but that but

284
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: that's like for a lot of players, we talked up

285
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: until the trade deadline and then okay, then we're done right,

286
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Like like once the trade deadline is over, that's it.

287
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Like Lebron was a was an almost daily conversation and

288
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: what he would say after a game war or a

289
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: like on Instagram. But no longer is that the case.

290
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Like over the last year, it's like, yeah, we had

291
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: a twenty year run as being at being the biggest

292
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: star in the NBA, and now we have so moved

293
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: past him to that. Yeah, now he's just one guy.

294
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: We talk about in addition to some of the other

295
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: stars the NBLA, we talk about Wemby or the Knicks

296
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: or you know, Luca really is as supplanted Lebron as

297
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe he's the number one guy that that that sparks

298
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: debate and conversation in the league now. But like Lebron

299
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: in a year, the Laker said, yeah, we got our

300
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: new guy. WHOA, that's how fast up, Yeah, that's how

301
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: fast it happened. No matter how many times you say nix,

302
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: it's like, fetch, it ain't gonna happen.

303
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Go New yorkha.

304
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Come on, it's happening, man, it's happening. It's like it's happening.

305
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: It's happening. It's happening. It's happening. Maybe not maybe not

306
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: in your because I was ready to get on the

307
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: bulls and then all of a sudden, to you they

308
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: were gonna be no good. Oh you that's your fault, man.

309
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: Not out. I told you the reality check he was

310
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: coming the schedule. You never said that.

311
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: You said bulls, bull bulls, you wear in bulls gear,

312
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: you wear nineties bull stuff. You were Bill Cartwright Jersey

313
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the day one night. Oh and then I came in

314
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: and I elbowed. I'm like, you tried to threaten me

315
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: with the loss, and I'm like, man, no, the bulls

316
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: the way they play, they play so many guys and

317
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: they tire you out. They're gonna be terrific. No, now

318
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: they just stink again. That's your fault. It's like two

319
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: or three guys old.

320
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: And sold a bill of goods to everybody.

321
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,280

Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty. It looks like all the head coaching

355
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: hirings will either be completed or are completed, depending on

356
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: how much Clint Kubiex wear a Good Raiders hat during

357
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl on Sunday. But nobody better to get

358
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: to right now than longtime NFL inside or longtime front

359
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: of the show Odyssey one of five seven the fan

360
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, Washington Post. Wanna bet he wears a lot

361
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: of hats. He's on Twitter at Jason lockinfora Does he

362
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: have money on the Westminster Dog and Kennel Club show?

363
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: Right now? It is Jason locking for it? Jason? Did

364
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: you bet? Colleagues? Did you bet terriers? Multipoo's what'd you bet?

365
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: You know what? I did not really even know what

366
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: was going on. Is that on polymarket or something? I don't. Yeah,

367
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: I love dogs, I love all dogs. Yeah, I couldn't bet.

368
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: Betting for a dog would be inherently betting against another dog,

369
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: and I can't do that.

370
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: Wow. So that's kind of.

371
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 4: After what happened to me in the Carolina Syracuse game.

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: I really maybe I should never bet again that that

373
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: somehow wasn't to cover seventy five, which seven minutes left

374
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 4: eleven and a half they don't cover.

375
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, our Alma Mater does well in garbage time,

376
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: don't forget it.

377
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: They did a little too well tonight.

378
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: So what you're telling me basically, is that you're betting.

379
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: You know, if you betted on the Westminster Dog and

380
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: Kettle Show and you betted for a dog, you'd be

381
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: betting against another dogs. So like the voter who said,

382
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: I didn't vote against Bill Belichick for the Hall of

383
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Fame for Bob Kraft, like that, that's how you've been.

384
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm saying he voted against Bill Belichick. It was one

385
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 4: or the other. He voted full one and not the other.

386
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: And right, you need a certain number of votes to

387
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 4: get in, and yeah, somehow Belichick didn't get it. Unbelievable,

388
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: these guys and gals clowders.

389
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: So when we look at the game now getting set,

390
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: you know we have the Pro Bowl, so I'm sure

391
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: you have Pro Bowl fever in your bet on the

392
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: games tomorrow night. So with both quarterbacks, you know, Donald's

393
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: oblique has been something that's been around for a little

394
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: bit now. Drake May supposedly turned a corner through normally

395
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: today at practice like this, Drake may injury has kind

396
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: of been slow played. Is this something we should pay

397
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: you more attention to or is it say what the

398
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is going to be?

399
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 6: Fine?

400
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: He should think some attention to it. I mean clearly

401
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: he seemed to be favoring, you know, trying to do

402
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 4: him over the left side in the last game. This

403
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 4: was a more recent injury than the oblique for Donald.

404
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: It's bled into preparations. Now you're get an extra weeks

405
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 4: obviously for the same So I mean, we can quibble

406
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 4: about how much or how little, but clearly it's played

407
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: some role. He's been only injury reporting. He had been limited,

408
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: and I don't know, like he hasn't played very well.

409
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: And if one of his superpowers, which is deep ball accessy,

410
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: if that's affected by this even a little bit, and

411
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: what I already think it'll be a tough matchup for them,

412
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: then yeah, I mean that's that's potentially a thing.

413
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Sure, do you have any words of advice from my

414
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: co host here, mister locking Forth. Smith's grappling with the

415
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: Donald versus Patriots conundrum in his personal life.

416
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's a bad super.

417
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: Bowl for me, Jase, like this is going back to this,

418
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 4: like what he was The Jets couldn't beat the Patriots

419
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: at all forever, So it wasn't just Donald, right, I mean,

420
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: that's a that's a number of quarterback, Like I don't know,

421
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: you can put that on this guy, I mean, Kenny, Well.

422
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: But this guy made the Super Bowl. The others also

423
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: lead into a different levels of incon in consequential games.

424
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm inclined to think after what he's

425
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: had to do facing these divisional opponents again down the stretch. Yes,

426
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: the Rams defense was not as in the second half

427
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 4: of the season as the first half, and yes the

428
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: forty nine do much of a pass rush, but you know,

429
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 4: he faced some familiar opponents down the stretch. He found

430
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 4: a way to win those games. He found a way

431
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: to win some of those games an incredibly improbable fashion,

432
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 4: having to come from behind. I can't really belittle it, man,

433
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: I mean I can't knock Get like he talk about

434
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: people turning corners. I think he's turned the corner. I mean,

435
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 4: I think what he was able to do in that

436
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: really go back to probably the second half of the

437
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 4: Rams game in Seattle, right the regular season, get in there,

438
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: and from the point of what he did in the

439
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: second half there on, I don't know, he's not turning

440
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 4: the ball over quite as much, but he could say, well,

441
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: he's not throwing the ball as much either, and he

442
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: hasn't had to in some of these games, but the

443
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: deep boss stuff is still there. Jackson Smith and Jigba

444
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: is as dangerous as ever, and so he'd started to

445
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: show up more. And I don't know, man, his offensive

446
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: line is gonna be healthier than it's been in a while.

447
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: And uh, I don't think that's the greatest pass for

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: us in the world for New England. So I think

449
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: Sam Donald's going to perform. Man. I think Sam Donald's

450
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 4: gonna throw for two hundred and fifty yards and he's

451
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 4: gonna throw a couple of touchdowns. He might throw a pick.

452
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 4: The other guy's gonna throw pick too, so that might

453
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: be a wa wash. The best thing about Sam Donald

454
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 4: in this game he doesn't have to go against Seattle defense.

455
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing, Jay is that for me? Thinking?

456
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: Okay, as a Jets fan, I got the Patriots, which

457
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: is kind of depressing that they can restart the dynasty

458
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: and get there.

459
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 2: But like, Okay, Donald's a great dude.

460
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy for him, But how am I going

461
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: to feel when he's holding up the Lobardi Trophy and

462
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and and they're asking about his journey and and look

463
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: look how great this has been. What's it been for you,

464
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: you know, drafted early by the Jets, and here you

465
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: are now five teams later. Like, that's going to be

466
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: really depressing. Man, That's it's gonna really stink.

467
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, does that stake worse than the staff

468
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: that's being He got enough to worry about in real time. Brother,

469
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 4: I don't know that you need to relitigate the pass

470
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 4: with Sam Don. Like, I think you gotta let that go.

471
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: It's going to be impossible about that's gonna be concerned about.

472
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: Is Aaron Glenn still going to be employed the day

473
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 4: after Halloween? Is going to be employed the day after Thanksgiving?

474
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: What exactly is going on there? Uh? Who? What's going

475
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: to happen at quarterback? I mean I think you got

476
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: bigger fish to fry than Sam Donald. I really do.

477
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot to it in the fact that

478
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn's still one of the employed guys on that

479
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: Patriot schedule for this year.

480
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: Uh, pretty impressive.

481
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: But let's go to the Commissioner's Q and A and

482
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: everything from today. Uh, the topic of diversity, hiring and

483
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: processing comes up once again after an zero for ten.

484
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: Well, look, these billionaires they run the league and you

485
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 4: know the Dells, feckless Dells there to catch a paycheck,

486
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: be human and shield, try not to stumble over his

487
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: words too much and keep the gravy train rolling. And

488
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: they don't. You can't force people to do things they

489
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 4: don't want to do. You can't force people to care

490
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: about things they inherently don't care about. There's systemic racism

491
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: in this league. It's it's been a staple. It's been

492
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 4: a staple in the country. So I mean, as an

493
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: option to that, but you can go back to how

494
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: African American quarterbacks have been held back, belittle, oppressed, the

495
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: inherent racism in that in that position obviously is the

496
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: number one money making position, and how long it took

497
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: for that to become less of a thing than it

498
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: was for most of my life. I mean, I can't

499
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: remember Doug Williams winning a Super Bowl and it being

500
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: such a huge thing. But it's like, how the hell

501
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: can this be possible? How is been possible? And then

502
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 4: the same thing with the coaches. I mean that they

503
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: inherently don't care it's in box they have to check.

504
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 4: They treat it like an inconvenience that's bestowed upon them

505
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 4: by the league.

506
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 7: Office.

507
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: There's clearly not much conviction in it. Go look at

508
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: the final round, a.

509
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 6: Lot of these interviews, and who got the interviews, who

510
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 6: meet really rule qualifications, you know, and who didn't and

511
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: who you know?

512
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 4: Did anybody really give Brian Flores a real thorough Looksie?

513
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: Did anybody do the same with Vance Joseph? I don't know, guys.

514
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: I don't think it's ever going to change. I don't

515
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: think these billionaires really care. It's just about optics and

516
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: giving some sort of nod towards inclusion, but this league

517
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: remains anything but inclusionary. It's a billionaire boys club.

518
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Families are always for NFL insider Jason Locking, for our

519
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: guest Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Lock and the Fox Sports

520
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: radio studios. A right big stuff there off the field

521
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: that the NFL continues to deal with and try to

522
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: get right.

523
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: What about the game itself?

524
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: Last time we get the chance to talk to you

525
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: before the game usually come in every year. You're the

526
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: first prediction. I know you said last week it feels

527
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: like maybe this is where the magic carpet ride ends

528
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: for the Patriots.

529
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: Are you still on that?

530
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I might just be a square here

531
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: I might be the ultimate Mark, but you know, I've

532
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: done plenty of work on this game now, and I

533
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: think dat all is better offense, better defense, better special teams.

534
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: I think even got the better coach. They've played the

535
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: far tougher schedule, and they still have for me, far

536
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: more strength than New England. The healthier team. I prefer them.

537
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be able to hit explosives.

538
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have Drake May under duress. I

539
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: mean it's really young. I mean what Dan Marino's the

540
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: last guy this young to make a Super Bowl. He

541
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 4: hasn't been good in the postseason and against the defense

542
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: this special. You need individual brilliance, you need playmakers. And

543
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: I mean you're telling me Digg is going to separate you,

544
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 4: telling me bunder Henry's going to get deep a bunch

545
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 4: of times, telling me you know, Bouts is going to

546
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 4: like Matt Hollins like I just I'm sorry. I think

547
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 4: they'll be game. I think they'll hang around. But I

548
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: also think when this whole thing's over, Javel's won by

549
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: more than a touchdown.

550
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: All right, James the last one?

551
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Then following up off that, Sam Donald plus one fifteen

552
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: as your Super Bowl MVP. You got someone off the grid,

553
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: a little off the trail.

554
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think there's other ways that for

555
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: only plus one fifteen, so many other ways I'd rather,

556
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: you know, and have that Donald or other things. I

557
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: haven't made an MVP bet. I've I've thought about Shade.

558
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: I think see he's going to have a game. I

559
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: mean there's some things which is heat in this game

560
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 4: that's interesting. Over fifty rushing and receiving yards combined, he

561
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 4: can get still around fifteen to one. First player to

562
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: register forty receiving yards in this game. I think they're

563
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: going to take deep shots throughout. I think they're gonna

564
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 4: take deep shots early. And I think Gonzals is going

565
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: to be on splitting jig Bob with a safety over

566
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: the top. And I mean Sam Donald led the league

567
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 4: in yards per tempt and he was making big boy throws.

568
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: It's about explosion more than it is volume with him.

569
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: And I think Shheed's going to latch onto a long

570
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 4: baller two. And I also think he's got the potential

571
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: and taking under around twenty or thirty yards against his defense.

572
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: There you go forty five to one.

573
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,760

Speaker 2: It's like us only into a microphone.

730
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,520

731
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: We got reports today of what the Miami Heat offered

732
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and we have heard from a couple of

733
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: sources that the Bucks are going getting back to teams

734
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: now with counteroffers. So apparently the first offer is not

735
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: what they like. We're getting back to you with counteroffers.

736
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: Now.

737
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: I want to say this. The offer we heard about

738
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: was the Miami Heat a package sent it around. Tyler Hero,

739
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: a couple of other players, Amy Hawkes also in there,

740
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: some draft picks, and honestly, it's a pretty good package, right.

741
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: What I saw is that that's a pretty good package.

742
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: Obviously kick swaps and a couple Yeah. I mean, you're

743
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: getting some good young players, right. Obviously Hero is the

744
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: is the is the guy there. You're getting some depth, right,

745
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot of teams that can

746
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: offer you better. The only team, and we told you

747
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: the Heat was going to be the forefront. I'm like, listen,

748
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Giannis is way more calculated than you think he is.

749
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: Man he's Lebron like. We just don't think of him

750
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: that way because Lee likes to be such an shucks

751
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: kind of guy.

752
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: Hey, i'my honest, I'm great. I'm the Greek freak. Yeah

753
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: you love me? Yea all that.

754
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: No, he's just as calculating. Everything he's done the last

755
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: year has been calculated towards getting this to happen. His

756
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: mom's not putting a picture of him on the court

757
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: in Miami on social media the day Yannis's trade request

758
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: sort of breaks unless there's a reason for it.

759
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: Hey, maybe just a proud mom. Nah yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yes, Oh,

760
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm doing.

761
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm just putting pictures up on social media of my

762
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: son in Miami when they're one of the four teams

763
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: making a move for him, right, So understand that, yes,

764
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: this was we said they were the favorites right away,

765
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: because look, players, now, social media is the number one

766
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: thing in the world. They don't treat it with with

767
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: the sort of laissy fair quality that some of us

768
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: do here on the show when we put out side, Hey.

769
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: I gotta put out a message. What do we do?

770
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: What do we do? It's very very calculated. He is calculated.

771
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: Now, while we told you the Heater number one, I'll

772
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: tell you this, really, I don't see there being any

773
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: and I've said this for a year now, but now

774
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: after seeing the last few games, I don't see there

775
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: being anyway the Knicks make the trade for him. I

776
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: think you can just knock the Knicks right out of this.

777
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: And it's can the Warriors come up with a package

778
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: that can beat the Heat, right, because the Heat's trade

779
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: offer is pretty good from what you're gonna get for

780
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: your honest because the Knicks the last couple of weeks

781
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: they and.

782
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: This is where you know if you're yeah, you're spelunk

783
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: at all? You ever spelunk at all?

784
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: I know it is Batman dude. Okay, so I don't splunk.

785
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: What do you need this, fornki? But I've seen horror

786
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: movies where people get caught in caves and there's a

787
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: thing called false light, right that that people who get

788
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: lost and I get turned around and they think it's light.

789
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: Oh it's an it's an exit, and they do all

790
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: they can to get they realize, oh, it's false light.

791
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: It's not our way out. We're stuck.

792
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm still stuck in the same place I was now, except

793
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: I've exumed I can, I've exuded more energy and now boy,

794
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: things are really good. But that's just it might as

795
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: well just put the word hope there or World Series

796
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: trophy that you're clinking to a lot of false light. No,

797
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: it's gone for the Knicks. It doesn't matter because they

798
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: have a light right now. Is it a false light?

799
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 4: Is it not?

800
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: Because they fix their defensive issues over the course of

801
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, had a couple of big

802
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: shifts and and just in the in the in the

803
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: effort of brevity, Uh, they've simplified defensively what they like

804
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: to do, which all the Knicks say it makes us

805
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: play faster. They're no longer funneling players to the center

806
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: of the floor in the middle of the court. They're

807
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: now pushing them to the wings, which is allowing their

808
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: uh good one on one defenders like and Unobi to

809
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: be able to impact the game. What you've seen now

810
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: they've won six in a row. They look really good.

811
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: They beat the the smacked out the smacked out the

812
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: Lakers last night.

813
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: Uh, it was a big win.

814
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: So now here you are, whether it's a false light,

815
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: which means I don't know, or it's a real light.

816
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: They've gotten Karl Anthony Towns to commit better, They've they

817
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: figured out the team with him not having to be

818
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: the one a every night. You're three days before the

819
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: deadline and you seem to have fixed your issues defensively.

820
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: Are you really gonna blow up all of that to

821
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: go get Yannis? Whether they whether you think they should

822
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: or not. This is where what everybody else thinks doesn't matter,

823
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: because the Knicks aren't going to do that. They're not

824
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna say okay. If they were still and still fumbling

825
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: and trying to figure things out there and say, hey,

826
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: we could trade your cat. He's an All Star for

827
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: some reason. He's an All are we'd like to give

828
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: them to and the Bucks would say, okay, and here's

829
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: a package around Cat because they could make the money

830
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: work easily. Maybe it's another player like Bridges, but the

831
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: fact that they seem to have fixed things now we

832
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: won't know. But that doesn't matter because the Knicks are

833
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: going to blow up what they think they have fixed

834
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: this close to the deadline. Yeah, it's just the question

835
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: of whether they're looking out into the future and thinking

836
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: this rotation and the recommitment by several of the players,

837
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: most notably Cat defensively, is going to last into April,

838
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: May and June.

839
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: It's a giant question mark.

840
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: You just have to decide what that coefficient of your

841
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: trust is when it comes down to it. Here are

842
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: your current odds that his next minute played after the

843
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: trade deadline? Okay, Bucks plus one fifteen, Okay, it doesn't

844
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Warriors plus three point fifty. Okay again, are

845
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 1: they just giving up? If you're the Bucks just saying,

846
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: here's what the shell of what Jimmy Butler used to be,

847
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: and his contract will go away. The Bulls at plus

848
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: four fifty r yeah. Now, remember they bought a building there,

849
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: so yeah, by buildings everywhere.

850
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 2: And a uh there's a building that Giannis has got

851
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: his name attached to. Well, move them up. We don't

852
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: want to lose that.

853
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: All right, Great it's a twenty one million dollar Yeah exactly.

854
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,760
Speaker 1: Heat at plus seven seven hundred, and then your Nicks

855
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: at plus eight fifty.

856
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: You want to go out a little bit further.

857
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: You got the t Wolves at plus fourteen hundred, so

858
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: fourteen to one for them telling you it's gonna wind

859
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: up being the It's gonna be hard to beat, that

860
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: hard to beat the heat and stuff and what they're

861
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: are because the bulls, it ends up requiring like five players.

862
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and you've watched them play and one of

863
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 1: them is to want them all together.

864
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,480
