3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: about me.

4
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: He's crazier than a else. Wrecked that guy, Jonas Knocks.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,720

Speaker 2: You know, we do have some good news. We've got

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: an idea something that I think is going to help

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: fix a problem that we've seen take place more recently

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: in the world of sports than you realize. And you

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. So the Dallas Mavericks

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: stay alive, they win Game four, and they win Game

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: four in dominant fashion, an absolute ass whooping, a blowout,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: a bludgeoning, whatever you want to call it. They beat

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: that ass of the Boston Celtics. And it doesn't mean anything.

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why, because this series is over

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: in game five. That's a wrap. Like you look at

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: last night and you go, man, cool story. You win

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: by close to forty you're dominant. But I would argue

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: that's a worst case scenario situation for the Dallas Mavericks.

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: If it was a buzzer beater to stay alive, then

38
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: we'd be talking because now you're the Celtics and you're

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: thinking to yourself, wait a second, We literally were on

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: the doorstep of clinching. We lose at the buzzer, we

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: lose a heartbreaker, and now we've got a regroup go

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: back home and try and do it again, and all

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: of a sudden they've got all the momentum and they

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: stay alive. That game last night like got to be

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: a waste of time. I stop watching. It's like, okay,

46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: they're pulling their starters in the third eah, whatever, done,

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: this game's over. They waved the way and like everyone's

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: looking around for like, ooh, what does this mean? Is

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: there something they can take from this game into game?

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: Probably not, to be honest with you, probably not. There's

51
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: nothing you can take from it because it wasn't a

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: real game. It was a wipeout that meant everything to

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: one team and not that much to the other. And

54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: one team conceded and just said, okay, that's fine. And

55
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: if you've tracked the Celtics all year long, the one

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: thing they always do is bounce back when they have

57
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: a letdown, or they always bounce back. Series is over

58
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: on Monday night. It's over. It's fine, done deal. But

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: I do have good news because I was thinking about this.

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: You look at a game like that and you go,

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: if you beat somebody that bad, but you're still down

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: in the series three to one, and the other games

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: that you've lost have been within ten points. Like I

64
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: saw somebody put out the cumulative score of the series

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: and say, well, the MAVs are actually leading them in

66
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: the entire series and they've won more quarters, and it's

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: like okay, Like I mean, if we really want to

68
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: go the cumulative route like that works in boxing, it

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: doesn't really work, you know, in the NBA. Like in boxing,

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: you may get wiped out a couple of rounds, but

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: if you've one majority of them and you didn't get

72
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: knocked down a bunch, the score is going to go

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: to your favor. But you watched that game last night

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: and you go, well, yeah, I mean it was pretty dominant,

75
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: but it still only counts as once. I was thinking

76
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: about this, if you're Adam Silver and you like to

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: do all this goofy kind of clown show, carnival, sideshow

78
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: sort of stuff like the n Season Tournament and all

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: the other crap that came along with it. If you're

80
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: trying to find ways to improve the game, if you're

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: trying to find ways to make the NBA better and

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: try and come up with some new idea. You wanted

83
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: to do the play in tournament, which I'll admit is fun.

84
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: You wanted to do the nd season tournament, which I'll

85
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: admit is a joke. Like you want to come up

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: with all these ideas and all these things to try

87
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: and impact the game and improve the game. Here's one

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: for you. How about this team beats another team in

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs by twenty five or more, it counts

90
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: as two wins in the series. Let's play that game

91
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: because all of a sudden, everybody's got something to play

92
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: for now. You're not seeing the Dallas Mavericks go out

93
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: there and blow them out and realize, yeah, that was

94
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: cool and all, but we're still down three to one.

95
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, that's a three to two series.

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: And you go back and they're saying, oh, I mean this,

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: and I get it. It changes the way that you

98
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: do the math, and maybe it turns into it. But like,

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: let's come up with something because this happens a lot

100
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: in the NBA playoffs to where teams will be losing

101
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: by twenty points or down eighteen to twenty and they

102
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: just kind of mail it in. It's eh, whatever. Like,

103
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: if you're trying to find a way to get people

104
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: to play for more and get these players to continue

105
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: to play when they're getting blown out, and you don't

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: want to see your starters pulled halfway through the third

107
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: quarter in an NBA Finals game, and you don't want

108
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: to see teams lose by and just concede and say whatever,

109
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: we'll see you Monday night. We'll clinch there. Then figure

110
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: out a way to make it worth more. Either that,

111
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: or like I've said before, you could shorten a series

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: and make these games matter more. The problem is the NBA.

113
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: This happens way too much. There are blowouts because teams realize, well,

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: it only counts as one. Well, if it only counts

115
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: as one, what does it matter? If it only counts

116
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: as one? Then why run up the score? Why? You know,

117
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: why try hard at all if you're losing. So, if

118
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: you're the NBA and you're trying to get innovative, figure

119
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: out a way to make these blowouts mean more than

120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: just one win. Or we could just do what we're

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: doing now and realize, nice game, awesome, you gave your

122
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: fans one last treat, final home game, all that stuff,

123
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: and then you go back to Boston and probably get

124
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: wiped out there, and the series is over, and now

125
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: we're looking forward to the NBA Draft Jonas Knox here

126
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Fox Sports, get me on Twitter at the Jonas Knox

127
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: at the Jonas Knox on Twitter. All right, this is

128
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: a bummer. Okay. Now, I was probably thinking about leading

129
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: with this. Then I thought, well, you know what kind

130
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: of sucks like. I don't know if we want to,

131
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: because this is something that I don't think is we

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: can argue about. And I'll just be brutally honest, and

133
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: this is probably an insult to myself and virtually everybody

134
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: else who does sports media. Let's just be truthful here.

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: Most of us are replaceable, myself included. Like it just

136
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: a bit to what it is like, you could take overall.

137
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I

138
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: hate it. I hate it. And the person's gone and

139
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: you're pissed off, and then all of a sudden, like

140
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: a month later, you realize, eh, whatever, we're fine. Most

141
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: of us are replaceable. That's how I feel, all right now.

142
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm being a little bit too demeaning to myself

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: and too disrespectful to myself, but that's how I feel.

144
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: That's how I look at this stuff. Barkley is not

145
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: He's in the rarefied air, and the rarefied class of irreplaceable,

146
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: and he announced in the midst of all the other

147
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: drama that's gone on with Turner and the NBA and

148
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: the NBA rights that are coming up and so on,

149
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: like next year, you know, TNT's got the NBA for

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: one final season, but they're trying to figure out a

151
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: way to come up with whatever it is. Charles Barkley

152
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: was on NBA TV last night and he announced this.

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 4: I've been thinking, guys. I want to say this because

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: you guys in my family. I really love TNT, all

155
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: the people who work here NBA Television. You guys been

156
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: great to me for twenty four years, and I just

157
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: want to say thank you to my entire NBA family.

158
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: I love you guys. You know there's been a lot

159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: of noise around on network the last few months, and

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 4: I just want to say I've talked to all the

161
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: other networks, but I ain't got nowhere other than TNT.

162
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: But I have made the decision myself. No matter what happens,

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: next year is gonna be my last year on television.

164
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: And I just want to say thank you to my

165
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: NBA family. You guys been great to me. My heart

166
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: is full with joy and gratitude, but I'm gonna pass

167
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: the baton at the end of next year. I hope

168
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 4: the NBA stays with TNT, But for me personally, I

169
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: wanted you guys to hear from me because I'm not

170
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: doing any more interviews. Don't y'all be calling me. Nobody

171
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: calling me. I'm not talking about this again, but I

172
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: wanted to tell my NBA and NBA TV and TNT

173
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: family that I'm not going to another network, but I'm

174
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 4: gonna pass baton to either Jamal Crawford or Vince Carter

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: or you, Steve. But next year, I'm gonna just retire

176
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: after twenty five years, and I just want to say

177
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: thank you, and I wanted y'all to hear from me first.

178
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: That sucks, and I'll tell you why it sucks, because

179
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize or recognize the void that

180
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: is left if Barkley's not there, or if that entire

181
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: show is not there. And I've said this before, I

182
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: would rather watch the NBA on TNT pre in halftime

183
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: and postgame show than an actual NBA game. I really would.

184
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: I think it's more entertaining, especially during the regular season,

185
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: like when you like and Listen, it's not to criticize

186
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: ESPN and their pre and post and everything that they're doing,

187
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: because listen, they've been getting buried. I mean, everything they've

188
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: done and tried to put together had been buried. And

189
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: it's not that it's bad, it's that in comparison to

190
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: what TNT does, it's nowhere close and nobody is. And

191
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: you can talk to other studio analysts from other sports

192
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: and they'll tell you the same thing. You can't recreate that.

193
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: And the guy who is probably the biggest heart of

194
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: that as far as the fun atmosphere chemistry, because Ernie

195
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: Johnson's in a class of his own, but it is

196
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: Barkley and the void that we're going to have when

197
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: Thursdays come around and he's not going to be there,

198
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: or when you want a brutally honest opinion about a

199
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: game like because Charles Barkley's one of the first analysts

200
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: who would just come out and say that game sucked.

201
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: Everybody else is trying to push the product, push the product,

202
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: grow the product, let everybody you know, everything's okay. Barkley

203
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: was one of the first guys to come out and say, no,

204
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: that game sucked, that wasn't good. That was bad basketball,

205
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: like unapologetic what hears from players, gets pushed back from players,

206
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: calls it like it is, and there's going to be

207
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: a void that's left when he decides to leave. And

208
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: I do believe that that's his intention right now, whether

209
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: or not they get it back and he gets talked

210
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: into it or they try and extend it. That felt

211
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: like somebody was like, you know what I've thought about this,

212
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere else. If last year's if next

213
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: year's the last year, I'm gone. But when you think

214
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: about where he's at, he's in a class with guys

215
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: like John Madden, where had a hell of a run

216
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: in their profession before they got into media, and then

217
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: what they did with the media and in the media

218
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: afterwards far exceeded anything they did. Charles Barkley's a Hall

219
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: of Fame basketball player. What he's done post career far

220
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: exceeded anything he's done on the basketball court. Same with

221
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: John Madden. John Madden was a great coach. What he

222
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 2: did post coaching career far exceeded anything he did when

223
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: he was a coach. He's in rarefied air and it

224
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: goes back to the original point in this business what

225
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: we do. Majority of us replaceable. Charles Barkley, he ain't

226

Speaker 2: something happened in the NFL and if you're looking at

240
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: it with the side eye, if you're looking at it

241
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: with some criticism, you're looking at it completely the wrong way.

242
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,400

249
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 5: have enough time to get to everything we want to get.

250
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 6: To and that's why we have a brand new podcast

251
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 6: called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun

252
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 6: in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

253
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have

254
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 6: time for. Yeah, you blubber list lame and me.

255
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 5: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

256
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: be good at it because you've been over promising women

257
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 5: for years. Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show,

258
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: and we want you to be a part of it.

259
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also

260
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 5: gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I

261
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time,

262
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: it will continue on our after show called over Promised. Well,

263
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure

264
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 5: you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by the way,

265
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: So maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.

266
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.

267
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 6: There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it

268
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 6: on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised with

269
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 6: Covino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or

270
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 6: wherever you get your podcasts.

271
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio coming up a little over

272
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: ten minutes from now from the Tireraq dot com studios.

273
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: Somebody else might be in a little bit of trouble

274
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: in the world of sports. It's a familiar story. It's

275
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: popped up the past, I would say a few months,

276
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: last couple of years. It's something very relatable to all

277
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: of you. Let's just hope that it's even worse than

278
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: currently being speculated. I'll explain why that is coming up

279
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: here a little over ten minutes from now. So there

280
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: was some outrage in the NFL this week, and this

281
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: is my favorite part. Trevor Lawrence gets this new contract, right,

282
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: and he gets this five year, two hundred and seventy

283
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: five million dollar contract extension with the Jags. There's like

284
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: two hundred million guaranteed, one hundred and forty two million

285
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: at signing, basically more money than you and I would

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: ever see if you combined all of our salaries for

287
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: the next two hundred years basically is what that is.

288
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: And my favorite part about this is when contracts like

289
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: this come out or a player like Trevor Lawrence gets paid,

290
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: people are up in arms, Well he hasn't earned that.

291
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: It's like okay, all right, Like first, like right off

292
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: the bat, what do you care? It's not your money,

293
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: it's not my money, Like who cares? Like I couldn't

294
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: care less what Trevor Lawrence gets paid, like I'm I'm working.

295
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: My concern with Trevor Lawrence is was he or was

296
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: he not? The guy in the painting in Ghostbusters too?

297
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: That's all I want to know. Yes or no. I

298
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: don't care. If he's a Hall of Famer. I don't care.

299
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: If he's a pro bowler and all pro I don't

300
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: care if this is his last contract. I don't care

301
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: if he throws ninety picks next year. I don't care

302
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: if he wins a Super Bowl. Yes or no? Were

303
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: you in the painting in Ghostbusters two? Because you put

304
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: that side by side together and you're going to be

305
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: caught on it and it's going to be in your

306
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: mind for the next two days. The point is this

307
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: whole discussion about well, he didn't deserve it, and he say, dude,

308
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: that's not the point. It doesn't matter what whether or

309
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 2: not you think he deserves it. It doesn't matter whether

310
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: or not anybody else thinks he deserves it. The Jacksonville

311
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: Jaguars look at it like this, and they look at

312
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: it differently, and they look at it probably wisely, if

313
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: we're being fair. Jacksonville looks at it and goes, well,

314
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: the price tag's only going to get more expensive. Yeah,

315
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: but you didn't have to do it, now understood. But

316
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: if you actually believe that he's the guy, and clearly

317
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: they do. If you believe that he's the guy, this

318
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: contract isn't so much about what he's done. It's about

319
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: what you think he's going to be. And if you

320
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: think he's going they're doubling down. It's like playing blackjack.

321
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: When you decide to double down, it's for two reasons.

322
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: Either one, you believe that you're in a pretty good position, yes,

323
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: you need something else that's gonna help that position, or

324
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: you're drunk. Listen, we've done it before. I've doubled down

325
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: in Vegas or some other casino before, and when I

326
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: was half in the bag. It happened sometimes or I wasn't,

327
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: and I realized, yeah, I'm not in the ideal position

328
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: as it stands right now. I may not win this

329
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: hand now, but I'm gonna take my chances and I'm

330
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: gonna double down. And that's what Jacksonville's doing. They're doubling down.

331
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: They took him number one overall for a reason. I mean,

332
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: I know, we want to get caught up and well,

333
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: he's not this and he's not that. Dude. If you

334
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: continue to do the comp game to Patrick Mahomes and

335
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: some of these other guys, if you continue to play

336
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: that game, you're gonna be doing that for a long time.

337
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: Like you double down because you believe he's going to

338
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: be everything that you thought he was when he was drafted.

339
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: Some teams take different approaches right now. If you're the

340
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, you get desperate, then you decide, well, uh, well,

341
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna double down, and we're going to double down

342
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: on a guy who you know has got injury concerns,

343
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: kind of quit on his previous team. Oh and by

344
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: the way, you know got popped because he was taking

345
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: too many trips to the grab lab. But we're gonna

346
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: go ahead and double and listen. Sometimes it works out,

347
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't. But the point is, when you get

348
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: into this discussion about whether or not a player deserves

349
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: it and whether or not Trevor Lawrence deserves to be

350
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: paid and deserves it, it's like, dude, that's not the

351
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: point here. It's the same thing with these quarterback contracts

352
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: that come out like fifty five million dollars a year.

353
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: Can you believe so and so is getting fifty five millions? Well, yeah,

354
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: because that's what the market says. Like, have you seen

355
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: gas prices? Like? You know what I see at the

356
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: gas station here in southern California. I see gas price

357
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: that are five dollars in up, like I mean, and listen,

358
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: there was a time where it was like six seven

359
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: dollars a couple of years ago. It's come down a

360
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: little bit. But you see, you know what I see

361
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: at gas stations? I see two things. Well, let me

362
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: rephrase it. I see three one high prices, two people

363
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: still filling up even though those prices are high, and

364
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: three people buying things inside the mini mart at the

365
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: gas station that's been sitting there for at least two years.

366
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: But the point is no matter how high the prices get,

367
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 2: you're still paying them because it's the cost of doing business.

368
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: That's where we're at. And so when people get like

369
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: like warned, like in the next conversation, well, who deserves

370
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: to get paid neg I promise you this to a

371
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: tongue of by Low is going to get a contract

372
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: and it's going to be criticized. I promise you. Like,

373
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: I promise you, he's going to get a contract and

374
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: he's going to be criticized, and whatever the number is,

375
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: he's going to get buried for it, I promise you.

376
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: And it's a couple of things. People either are still

377
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: in love with their initial opinions on him and what

378
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: Brian Flores tried to push out there, which was he

379
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 2: can't get the job done. And also they look at

380
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: him and go, well, I mean, he's not a top

381
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: ten quarterback, but he's being paid like one. Well yeah

382
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: right now, because it's his turn, and when it's the

383
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: next guy's turn, he's going to get paid. That's the

384
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: way this stuff goes. Like the further you get away

385
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: from signing your deal, the further down the line you fall.

386
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: And so when I see people get up in arms

387
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 2: about this stuff like, oh, well, Dak Prescott, I mean no,

388
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: you know, he's like there was a report out there

389
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: that Dak Prescott's looking for three hundred million dollars. Okay,

390
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to get it, but

391
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: if he does, it's not going to be based on

392
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: whether or not he's quote unquote earned it or won

393
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. It's going to be based on what

394
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: the market says. Like too many times people look at

395
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: these contracts and they think with their own wallet. Like

396
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: that was one of the best pieces of advice I

397
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: got from somebody. When I used to do over the

398
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: phone sales. They would tell me they're like, you know

399
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 2: what your problem is? Because I was terrible, terrible, Like

400
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: you know what your problem is? I was like, what's that?

401
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: Like you think with your wallet? Like what do you mean?

402
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: And then my boss said to me, goes, I hear

403
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: you on the phone when the person asks you how

404
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: much is it going to cost? You kind of cringe

405
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: when you give them the number, and then you're surprised

406
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: when they agree to it. I said, well, yeah, Like

407
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: why are you doing that? I said, I know it

408
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: seems like a lot of money. No, No, it's a

409
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: lot of money to you. To you, it's a lot

410
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: of money. So when someone asked you, well, how much

411
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: is that thing? And I go, uh, two hundred and

412
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: forty nine dollars, Like I literally would have that tone, Okay,

413
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: that works, here's my credit card number, and I'd be

414
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: stunned because two hundred and forty nine dollars. To me,

415
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: that's a lot of money, especially for a product I

416
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: don't believe in, and I don't think it's gonna help

417
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: you at all. That's why I was terrible. It was

418
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: too honest for my own good. So when you see

419
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: these numbers come out and you see these contracts come

420
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: out in these quarterback like, stop thinking with your wallet.

421
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: It's not about that. Trust me. Do I believe Trevor

422
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: Lawrence has earned two hundred and seventy five million dollars? No,

423
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 2: but I don't look at it like that. I look

424
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: at it like, well, Jacksonville's doubling down, and they think

425
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: two seventy five now, or whatever the number is, whatever

426
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: the guaranteed dollars are, because a lot of this stuff

427
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: is fluff. Whatever it is now isn't gonna seem like

428
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: a whole lot when two years from now, the next

429
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: guy signs his deal that far surpasses that. But that's

430
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: the problem. So too many times people think with their

431
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: wallet and not the wallet of a billionaire owner who

432
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: has a yacht the size of Puerto Rico, plays games

433
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: in London, owns a soccer team, a crummy wrestling organization,

434
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: and can basically do whatever the hell he wants. And

435
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: so if he believes in Trevor Lawrence when he drafted

436
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 2: him number one overall, you bet your ass. He believes

437
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: in him when he's seen at least a little bit

438
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: to think it's gonna get pretty expensive. He's our guy.

439
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and double down on him. Jonas Knox,

440
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 2: he or Fox Sports Radio, get me on Twitter at

441
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: the Jonas Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter. So

442
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: coming up next here, we've got ourselves a fun little

443
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: story in the world of sports, and I'm just hoping

444
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: it's much worse than what people are kind of guessing

445
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: or assuming it is. We'll get into that for you

446
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: here on FSR, but for all the latest from around

447
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: the world of sports makes some noise for Nick Cobe,

448
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: all right, thank you, Jonas. So just to further your point,

449
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: I was thinking about Kyler Murray a couple of years ago.

450
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: On that huge contract he got, he was the second

451
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: highest paid quarterback at the time. Only two years later

452
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: he's already down to number seven. No one talks about

453
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray's crazy contract now. So you get ahead of it.

454
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: You get ahead of it, and you're better off in

455
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 2: the long run. You remember when the Browns, like part

456
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: of the discussion with Baker Mayfield and the Browns is

457
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: going into his final year. They were having conversations about

458
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: a deal and it was like, man, Baker Mayfield's asking

459
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: for thirty million dollars a year. Dude, Trevor Lawrence just

460
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: got fifty five, like thirty million dollars a year, and

461
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: you gave two hundred and thirty million guaranteed to Deshaun Watson.

462
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: And ask yourself this, since that signing, who's been a

463
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: better quarterback, Baker Mayfield or Deshaun Watson. It's not even close. No,

464
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: But listen, that's that's the way this stuff goes. It's fun, though,

465
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: it's fun talking about other people's money. Yes, it's really

466
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: it really is. What a great joy this is on

467
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: sports Radio The Baker. Now, by the way, he's getting

468
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: on average thirty three thousand per year. He's right about

469
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: what he was asking four years ago, but that's got

470
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: him below Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers and Daniel Jones going

471
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: to talk about a bargain for the Buccaneers. Yeah, no, kidding,

472
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: good for him. Do have some NFL news today reports

473
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: a Bengals receiver T Higgins has signed his franchise tag

474
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: and is expected to report to training camp next month,

475
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: though a long term deal for Higgins is considered unlikely

476
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: at this time. We've got moving day at the US

477
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: Open from Pinehurst. Number two leaders going to be teeing

478
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: off over the course of the next hour. Ludwig Obert,

479
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: he finished second at the Masters. He is your solo

480
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: leader at five under. There's a three way time for

481
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: second at four under that includes Bryce and to Shamba

482
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: and Patrick Cantley, and that Roy McRoy and Tony Final

483
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 2: are part of a group at three under. Game four.

484
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup Final is tonight at eight Easter and

485
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: the Florida Panthers are looking to become the first team

486
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: to sweep the final since the Red Wings did it

487
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: to the Capitals in nineteen ninety eight. In baseball. The

488
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: Orioles play right hand or Kyle Brandish on the fifteen

489
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: day injured list with a UCL sprain in his elbow.

490
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: One game going on, Cubs and Cardinals scoreless in the

491
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: first inning. And to follow up on Charles Barkley from

492
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: the top of the hour, Jonas tn T had a

493
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: statement saying, in part quote, Charles is a Hall of

494
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: Famer and broadcasting icon who is and always will be

495
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: a beloved member of the TNT Sports family. We're looking

496
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: forward to another fantastic NBA on TNT season and further

497
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: discussion of our future plans with him. End quote. So, Jonas,

498
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: it seems like TNT, you know, Charles is saying he's done,

499
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: but TNT is hoping that's not necessarily the case. I

500
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: don't know, man. He seemed pretty emotional about it, and

501
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: I just my guess is he met everything he said,

502
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: and maybe who knows, he looks at it and goes, man,

503
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't have to rely on the NBA. I don't

504
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: have to. If I want to do a podcast, I

505
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: can go do a podcast. I think he still does

506
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: one with Ernie Johnson. I can go do something else.

507
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: I can adventure elsewhere. But maybe he's just tired of

508
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: the grind, tired of it, and he just doesn't want

509
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: to do anything that's not what they currently have a TNT,

510
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: which is the best pre and post game, best studio

511
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: show in the history of the business. So we'll see

512
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: how that plays out. Thanks Nick. It is Jonas Knox

513
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Coming up here in about

514
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: twelve minutes from now, we're going to have another edition

515
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: of Do You Care, Always fun conversation as we give

516
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: brutally honest thoughts on some of the major sports topics

517
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: that you've been forced over the past several days. That'll

518
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: be yours here about twelve minutes from now, So listen. Now,

519
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: one of these stories is back. It is back, and

520
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, a little bit underwhelming. Okay,

521
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: So Major League Baseball announced on Friday it was disciplining

522
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: Pat Hoberg an umpire. He's an umpire because apparently he

523
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: violated the league's gambling rules. So you know, they're the

524
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: guy's appealing the decision, but he's denied betting on baseball.

525
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: They don't know what the exact discipline is, they don't

526
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: even know what the violation is, but he is not.

527
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: You know, he's been kind of placed on leave as

528
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: they try and figure out and discuss and determine what

529
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: exactly happened. And my guess is that it's really not

530
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: anything that significant, Like I mean, really nothing at all.

531
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: But because he's an umpire, then all of a sudden

532
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: people freak out and they go, well, is this another

533
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: Tim donahe And it's like, okay, well probably not. Like

534
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Tim Donahue was literally throwing games, like had

535
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: evidence of it, like called out other officials that were

536
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: involved in it, like oh you know, and the NBA

537
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: kind of kept it all hush hush. And this is true.

538
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: The NBA kept it hush hush because they were getting

539
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: ready to sign this big TV deal and then all

540
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the TV deal got signed. Then they

541
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: came out and said, oh, yeah, by the way, we

542
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: got this guy. We're going to take care of this,

543
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: like they knew the whole time. It's like Major League

544
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: Baseball with steroids, Like they didn't know all those guys

545
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: were on gas. You think they didn't know all those

546
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: guys were pissing hot when they were hitting sixty plus

547
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: home runs a year and hitting the ball five Miles.

548
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: You didn't think they knew. Of course they did, but

549
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: they realized there was an opportunity. We'll keep our mouth shut, etc.

550
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: So Major League Baseball's got this situation that they're trying

551
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: to sort through. But my guess is probably not that

552
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: big of a deal. I don't know if this means

553
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: that he's going to lose his job. He was credited

554
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: for not missing a ball or a strike in the

555
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: World Series a couple of years ago, which is pretty impressive.

556
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: If you watch any Major League Baseball routine, league guys

557
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: miss balls and strikes that you can clearly see on

558
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: the box, on the screen or outside or inside it,

559
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: missed it all the time. This guy didn't miss a

560
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: ball or a strike in the World Series. But here's

561
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: what I would say, I'm fed up with this nickel

562
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: and dime crab, all right, I'm tired of it. I'm

563
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: tired of guys getting punished and bended for stuff that

564
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: I look at and go, you know what, what's the

565
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: big deal? We talked about it in the NFL. Jamison

566
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: Williams is sitting on a training table getting some treatment

567
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: on his bum knee. He's got one of the college

568
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: football games on on a Saturday at the team facility.

569
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: Guy throws like twenty bucks on a first half parlay

570
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: of like Middle Tennessee and like I don't know, circle

571
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: K Tech and he loses the bet and that guy

572
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: gets pop six games. Kind of ridiculous, kind of egregious.

573
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley takes time away from the NFL, does a

574
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: bunch of goofy parlays, loses a season of his career,

575
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: kind of ridiculous, kind of doesn't make sense. Like there's

576
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: just a lot of this stuff I look at and

577
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: I go feels like a bit much touka. Peter Marcano

578
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: getting banned for life because he was did a bunch

579
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: of placing a bunch of bets while he was not

580
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: participating in games, didn't bet on one single game he

581
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: was in. By the way, not one gets banned for life.

582
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: And then it comes out that he had a four

583
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: percent winning percentage. You don't think gambling has punished him enough.

584
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: The guy won four percent of his bets, my son's three.

585
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: He could walk into Whiskey Pets at State Line in

586
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: prim Nevada and hit five percent of his bets that

587
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: he plays. In fact, I'll tell you this right now

588
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: him and I were betting on horse racing last week,

589
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: no joke, on Sunday, the sixth race at Golden Gate Fields.

590
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: He picked the winner at seven to one. This guy

591
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: for the Pirates and Padres was a four percent winner

592
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: and lost his job because of it. Like, I get it.

593
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 2: You want to pop him for a year, you want

594
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: to suspend him for two years? Okay, band for life

595
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: feels like a bit much. So all I'm asking is this,

596
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: If we're going to make an example of somebody, at

597
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: least have it be something that's above and beyond. Like

598
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: tell me that this umpire was like gambling on how

599
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: far the count would go? Like, tell me this umpire

600
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: was actually gambling on if it turns out that, like

601
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: he placed a bet on a horse race in Indonesia,

602
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: or he placed a bet on Little League World Series

603
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: games because Chinese Taipei had some kid who was twenty

604
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: eight that was pretending to be an eleven year old.

605
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: If that's the case, exonerated on all charges. And I

606
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: want that guy umping every single game of the World

607
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: Series and the next World Series after that because he's

608
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: been embarrassed by Major League Baseball. Jonas Knox here Fox

Speaker 2: Jonas Knox on Twitter. All right, it's coming up next here.

611
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Enough of this negative. We need some positivity in our lives,

612
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: and there's nothing better to solve all of that and

613
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: quench our positivity thirst like another edition of Do You Care?

614
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: And that's yours next here on FSR Jonas Knox Fox

615
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 2: Sports Radio coming up top of next hour. We will

Speaker 2: are had on sports TV and sports radio that I

620
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: am absolutely dreading, and we will get into that for

621
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: you again coming up here. We're not actually gonna have

622
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: those conversations. We're gonna have a conversation about those conversations.

623
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: That'll be yours here coming up a little over twelve

624
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: minutes from now. A reminder, though, shortly after the show,

Speaker 2: off the air.

632
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

633
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: and most of them are a complete waste of time

634
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: TMS reports.

635
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big stories from

636
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: the last week. But Jonas, the real question is do

637
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: you care? And for that we turn it over to

638
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: our executive producer, Bo Benson to find out what the

639
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: hell people have been talking about all week.

640
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 7: Bo, all right, so former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick,

641
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 7: age seventy two, is reportedly dating a twenty four year

642
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 7: old former cheerleader, which begs the question is she just

643
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 7: really good at identifying like defensive coverages or is Bill

644
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 7: a way bigger Billie Eilish fan than we anticipated?

645
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: So, Jonas, do you care? Yes? I absolutely do. I

646
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: got it. Let me just go ahead and seventy two

647
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: to twenty four. Let's just go ahead and take a

648
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: look at this. Now, who's reporting this?

649
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 5: Like?

650
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: Is this?

651
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's TMS Sports. I believe.

652
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 2: Listen, they're pretty he doesn't miss a lot. I don't

653
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: know the last time they have missed. And listen, I'm

654
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: not gonna sit here and critique what's going on there

655
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: and whether or not, Like maybe they hit it off,

656
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: maybe she likes his personality. Maybe you know, he looks

657
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: at her and goes, you know what, this is gonna

658
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: be fun. Well, you know, I'll try this out for

659
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: a spin, so to speak. But like, there's nothing wrong

660
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 2: with this. People got to stop being so judgmental about

661
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 2: certain interests and certain likes, you know what I mean.

662
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: Like there's certain things that people like that I can't stand.

663
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: Like people like mushrooms. I think they're revolting, Like people

664
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: like there's all sorts of stuff that I like that

665
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: other people don't like. I'm just I'm not into But

666
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: if Belichick is into this and she's into him, I

667
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: hope they get married. And I think it's about love,

668
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: not about attractiveness and about the difference in age. And

669
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: people got to stop being so mean to Bill Belichick.

670
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: The guy's the greatest of all time. He deserves to

671
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: have a little dessert after the meal that he cooked

672
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: the last decade plus in New England, or two decade

673
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: plus rather.

674
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 7: Next, the Kansas City Chiefs received their very nice Super

675
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 7: Bowl rings earlier this week. Although there is a typo

676
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 7: on the inside of the rings, they list the Miami

677
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 7: Dolphins as the seventh seed when they were actually the

678
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 7: sixth seeds.

679
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: So, Jonas, do you care? Not really listen, I mean,

680
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, the way Miami played in that

681
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: playoff game, they should have been the seventh seed, and

682
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: they should actually shouldn't have been a playoff team period,

683
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: completely melted down in the cold like they did. You know,

684
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has got his helmet falling apart. You've got

685
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: you know, people losing body parts because it's so cold

686
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: out there, and Kansas City handle it better. So six

687
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: seven eight doesn't matter. They've got the ring to show

688
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: for it. And maybe if you're one of those guys

689
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: and you complain enough, you can keep that one, get

690
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 2: a new one, and then all of a sudden, it's

691
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: like one of those things like a baseball card or

692
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: a sports card that has a misspelling that becomes worth

693
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: more years down the road, and then you can sell

694
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: it on eBay for a bunch of money.

695
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 7: Next, the Detroit Lions have signed UFL kicker Jake Bates

696
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 7: to a two year deal. Jonas, do you care? Yeah, listen,

697
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 7: this is good.

698
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 2: This is this is why the UFL and things like

699
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: the preseason still matter and are still around and relevant.

700
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 2: It gives players an opportunity to be seen, It gives

701
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: players an opportunity to showcase their skill set, and it

702
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: gives them a chance at the NFL. Let's go live

703
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: to our UFL Detroit Lions insider Chris Prefet for the latest.

704
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: Chris So, he've played for the Michigan Panthers, so he's

705
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: already familiar with Ford Field, and he was nailing sixty

706
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 2: four yard field goals from inside that stadium. See yeah,

707
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that warrants a two year

708
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: contract makes all the sense in the world. Until he

709
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: misses a kick and asking him to be cut, that'll

710
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: be that'll be unfortunate.

711
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 7: Next, the Salt Lake City Hockey team has chosen Utah

712
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 7: Hockey Club as its temporary name. Jonas do you care? No,

713
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 7: I don't care, because they don't care. Clearly they don't care.

714
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 7: You got a list of possibilities. They took a fan

715
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 7: vote or something like that.

716
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: There was like the Utah Blizzard, the Utah More, the

717
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: Utah I don't think that was actually one YETI.

718
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 7: I hope that's what it ends up being.

719
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: By the one.

720
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, wh just sounds minor league teams though. The Utah Snow,

721
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: the Utah John Stockton's armpits, like they had all sorts

722
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: of stuff that was out there and this is what

723
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: they settled on. Well, for the time being, will be

724
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 2: the Utah Hockey Club. It's lazy. I don't like lazy,

725
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 2: and therefore I'm not going to care at all about it.

726
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 7: Next, forty nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey has been

727
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 7: named the cover athlete for Madden twenty five.

728
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 2: Jonas, do you care?

729
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: Not really?

730
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: I mean it look and I know that there's this

731
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: mad curse and all that. I don't like if a

732
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: running back gets injured. I just I don't think that

733
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: that's a Madden curse. I just think that's the position

734
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: and the wear and tear. Like Christian McCaffrey, like the

735
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: offensive Player of the year, great player, But I don't

736
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: really I haven't played Madden in years and years, so

737
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: I don't even know who was on the cover last

738
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: year or the year before that. I think the last

739
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: time I played Madden, Dante Colepepper was on the cover.

740
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: And I'm not even making that up.

741
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: Next, Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho blasted his club on Instagram,

742
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 7: saying that he won't watch any upcoming games or celebrate

743
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 7: a possible Brazilian victory after they drew level with the

744
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 7: United States and a friendly I believe earlier this week. Jonas,

745
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 7: do you care?

746
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little dig at the US US soccer.

747
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing like dig in US soccer fans. They're so

748
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: sensitive that this is our year, We're serious this time,

749
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: and then like it never is. It's just it's fun

750
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: to do. And apparently that's all he's trying to do.

751
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: I would point this out, though, I Mean, the reason

752
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: why he's not going to watch any of that is

753
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: because he's clearly focused on what is about to happen

754
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: in the euro Cup on Fox, because Italy is going

755
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: to defend the crown. That's right, the Italians are going

756
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 2: to defend the crown. And when they lose to Albania

757
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: or whoever it is they're playing later on today, I

758
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: don't want to hear anything of it because clearly they

759
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 2: were just playing down to their competition.

760
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 7: Next, drone video out of Bolivia that aired on local

761
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 7: news appears to show the Chupacabra and they're taking it

762
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: as definitive proof.

763
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: So Jonas, do you care? Yeah? I care because, well one,

764
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 2: you sent me the video, and I definitely care about

765
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: the start of the video because the hiring process there

766
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: at that station is working. And I also care because

767
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: how somebody could think that is a Chubacbra and not

768
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 2: some drunk bumb taking a dump in a field somewhere

769
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: is mind boggling to me. So get ready for it.

770
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: There's something coming up this week in the world of sports.

785
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,839

786
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals and listen, the Mavericks stay alive. Dallas

787
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: has got a pulse until the Celtics closed the coffin

788
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: on Monday night, and then we're done with all this,

789
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: Like it's just it is what it is. The series

790
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: is over. We can try and you know, slice and

791
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: dice and find what last night's game means to the

792
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: series and whether or not Dallas has got hope. It's like, okay,

793
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: they won a game. Cool, but we all know where

794
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: this is going. The Celtics were pulling starters in the

795
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 2: third quarter. Dallas came out with everything to play for,

796
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: everything on the line. And if you've watched Boston all year,

797
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: the one thing they always do is respond when they

798
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: lose a game. The two games they had lost previous

799
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: to this in the NBA playoffs before, they responded both times.

800
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: That's how this is going to go. They're gonna win.

801
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna win handily. On Monday night, the series

802
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: is over and they're gonna win the title just is

803
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: what it is. Here is the discussion though, that is

804
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: going to be had, and I'm dreading it because I

805
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: know it's coming, because it always comes, and you're gonna

806
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: see it too. Get ready for legacy talk.

807
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: Ooo ooh, it's so good legacy talk, Like, Hey, what

808
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 3: does this series mean to Luca's legacy?

809
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: His first Finals appearance and he fouled out of a

810
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: game and he couldn't get more than one win for

811
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: his team, So what does it mean for his legacy? Hey?

812
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: What about Kyrie's legacy? What does it mean here in

813
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 2: n Ooh, Jalen Brown and Jason what does it mean

814
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 2: for Jason Tatum's legacy? Like, ooh, just get ready for

815
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: buckle up, it's coming legacy talk this week in the

816
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 2: world of sports. Oh, it's gonna happen. And it sucks

817
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: because it doesn't make any sense. If Dallas goes out

818
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: Monday Night and Luca struggles and they lose in five

819
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 2: games to the Celtics, people are going to take a

820
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 2: look back at the series and go come man lost

821
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 2: in five games, melted down in game three, fouled out

822
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: of one, complained too much to the officials. His defense

823
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: was suspect and spotty etc. Et cetera, et cetera. And

824
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 2: what's your point, Well, it's the finals, you've got okay, Like,

825
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: do you remember the conversation we were having less than

826
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: a year ago. Remember that conversation we were having. You

827
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 2: know what the discussion was. You can't pay Jalen Brown

828
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: that kind of money after what he just did in

829
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: the play? Are you serious? You gotta be what are

830
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: you a drug addict? You're gonna pay Jalen Brown that

831
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of money after what happened against the Miami Heat.

832
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum goes down early in Game seven against the Heat,

833
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown struggles the rest of the game. That's when

834
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: he needs to pick up the slack And you're gonna

835
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: give no way. If anything, they should break this duo up.

836
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown's the favorite to win NBA Finals MVP less

837
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: than a year later. Like this whole legacy converce, Dude,

838
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 2: you don't know what want to know when legacy conversation

839
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: should be had after the career is over. That's when

840
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 2: you have this this whole What does this do to

841
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: his Like, I have no idea. That's like projecting when

842
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: you're gonna get food poisoning. If you could project when

843
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: you'd get food poisoning, you probably wouldn't eat the food,

844
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: right like I would guess that probably wouldn't be the move.

845
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: It's like imagine sitting down. You know, you put your

846
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 2: napkin in your shirt collar, or you lay it on

847
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 2: your lap. You get ready. You got the fork in

848
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: the left hand, or and the knife and the right

849
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: or vice versa, whichever way you want to go. You

850
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: go to take the first bite, and you go no way, way, way, way, way, way, way.

851
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 2: This is gonna damage my toilet's legacy in the next

852
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. I'm gonna go ahead and pass. No, you

853
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't do that. You just eat your food and you

854
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 2: deal with the repercussions whatever happens. You have no idea.

855
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: You have no way to guess whether or not you're

856
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 2: gonna get food poisoning. You have no way to guess

857
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: whether or not you're gonna have crap running down the

858
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 2: side of your leg, whether you're gonna have to throw

859
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 2: away your socks, or you're gonna go ahead and puke

860
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: in the sink because you couldn't even make it to

861
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 2: the toilet. It just is what it is. If you

862
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: can't project this stuff. We have no idea what's going

863
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: to happen to Luca moving forward, Kyrie moving forward, anybody

864
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: on any of these rosters, on any of these teams.

865
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 2: We have no clue, no clue. The only thing we

866
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: know is that this series is over and five. That's

867
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 2: what we know. That's all we know. But everyone trying

868
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: to like to look at like Brian Windhors going all

869
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: in and listen, some of the criticism is warranted. We

870
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 2: get it, spotty defense, but everybody's known that about him.

871
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd has called him out for the complaining to

872
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: officials before and in fact, if you want to go

873
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: and do a deep dive, if you want to go

874
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 2: back to one of the previous matchups. The Celtics and

875
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: the MAVs played twice during the regular season. After one

876
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: of those games, Jason Kidd said, I wish Luca wouldn't

877
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: complain so much about the officiating, something along those lines like,

878
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 2: I wish you wouldn't complain so much after either the

879
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: same game or the next game they played Boston in

880
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: and lost by a wide margin. In Jason kidds say

881
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: they're doing it on offense, the way they move the ball,

882
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,720
Speaker 2: this and that they don't have guys out there playing.

883
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: Iso basically called out his team. This has been a

884
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 2: story all year throughout his career. This has been a conversation.

885
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: But because it's on the biggest stage now, it's going

886
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 2: to be well, what does this do to his legacy?

887
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 5: What?

888
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: Dude? We have no idea, just like we didn't know

889
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: what Jalen Brown's legacy was going to be last year.

890
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: People wanted Joe Missoula fired last year after the way

891
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: they fell apart. They wanted him gone, He's got to go.

892
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 2: They wanted there were Celtics fans that were outraged by

893
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: the fact that they traded away Marcus Smart. How could

894
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: you do that? The window is closed. Those conversations were happening,

895
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: and here we are a year later and they're a

896
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 2: better team. Like, we don't like this whole but this

897
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: is where this is going to go. And I'm telling you,

898
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: and you can tweet me about it, and you can

899
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: see it on TV. You can hear the convers and

900
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: you can just think, where did I hear that this

901
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 2: was going to happen? Oh, that's right, I heard it

902
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: Saturday when I was driving around doing errands. I heard

903
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 2: it Saturday when I was at a whiffle ball game

904
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 2: with an AirPod in and I was getting ripped while

905
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: I was throwing somebody an off speed pitch. It's gonna happen.

906
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: It happens all the time, and it never makes sense

907
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: to me. You go with what you know, and what

908
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: you know is Lucas one of the top five players

909
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: in the world, and if we're being honest about it,

910
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: he's been by far and away the best offensive player

911
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: in this series and it ain't close. But if he

912
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: loses in five games to the best team in basketball,

913
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: none of this stuff is a revelation. This has been

914
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: happening during the course of the regular season. They've played

915
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: this team several times now, and it's the same story

916
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: virtually every time. Outside of last night. Boston's just better.

917
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: They're just better. And what it means is future. We

918
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: don't know, just like we didn't know what it meant

919
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: to Jalen Brown's future and the guy got paid and

920
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 2: he's on the Virgin winning NBA Finals MVP Legacy talk

921
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,400

Speaker 2: being brought in. Tony writes, Beta bleep Jonahs still in

925
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:27,720

Speaker 2: bella bitch now the sugar daddy for some teenager. You bleep.

929
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 2: Chris writes in if the umpire was breaking the stated rules,

930
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't give a crap. He can call balls and

931
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: strikes his ass. He needs to be railed. You're a

932
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: horrible radio host who can't even judge a pot smoking contest,

933
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: but Fox keeps your horrible show on. Go figure. Aaron

934
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: writes in, excellent job coming up with a way to

935
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 2: keep me watching a useless NBA game, But clearly you

936
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: should be working on how you keep people listening to

937
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: your worthless Saturday show at the Jonas Knox. At the

938
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 2: Jonas Knox on Twitter is where you can find all

939
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 2: the upbeat positive feedback from loyal listeners to the show.

940
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: Let me just say this about Belichick though, all right,

941
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: you talk about a rebound and I'm not talking about

942
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 2: her because if you missed it, Bo brought up that,

943
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: amongst other things, apparently people in Bolivia think a homeless

944
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 2: guy is a cubicabra. But also he brought up the

945
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: fact that Bill Belichick is dating like a twenty four

946
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 2: year old. Like you talk like, is it too early

947
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: to vote come back Player of the Year, Like is

948
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 2: it too early because it's Belichick by a mile, Like

949
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 2: you think like Joe Flacco, just go ahead and give it.

950
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 2: Give it to Belichick now, like they tried everything to

951
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 2: smear him, And there's been a couple of people that

952
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: have been consistent in their support, former Patriot players and

953
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: me consistent in our support of Bill Belichick. His resume,

954
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: his coaching credentials, all of that has been disrespected, and

955
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: then his dating credentials got disrespected by people trying to

956
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: judge him for dating a twenty four year old comeback

957
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: player of the year. It's already over. It goes to

958
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. By the way Greg writes in this lazy bleep,

959
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: Noxie can't wait to break down and analyze what Caitlin

960
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 2: Clark's legacy is and should be. His useless ass boycott

961
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 2: until she's treated like Lebron. I don't even know what

962
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: that means. I don't even know what the WNBA is,

963
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I'm sure that'll sit well

964
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: with some people out there. It's a joke. Relax, it's

965
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: a joke, right, Let's not lose our sense as of

966
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: humor here. I know everybody wants to have fake outrage

967
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: about by the way you talk about fake, the WNBA

968
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 2: debates and outrage out there is one of the most

969
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 2: fraudulent things I've ever seen done in this business. It's

970
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 2: comical how much people are pretending to care when they

971
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 2: absolutely do not. And that'll wrap up our coverage of

972
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 2: the WIBA here on this show coming up next here though,

973
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: from the tiraq dot com studios. You can try and

974
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 2: deny this all you want. You can try and push

975
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: back and say no, this isn't what's happening. That's not

976
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 2: what's happening. But there is somebody in the NFL who's

977
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: getting the same thing every single off season. It's happening again.

978
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what it is right here on FSR

979
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: Boom Texas for Jonas Jonas Knox, Fox Sports Radio coming

980
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 2: up a little over ten minutes from now from the

981
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com Studios. I have to make an

982
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 2: admission here on the air. I made a mistake. But again,

983
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: like you know, I'm gonna try and defend myself, but

984
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: facts are facts. I'm gonna make a mistake. Nobody probably

985
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 2: even caught it, but I will get into that for

986
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 2: you coming up here in Yeah, we'll call it a

987
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 2: little over ten minutes from now. It's involving a major

988
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 2: sporting event. So so there we go. It is us

989
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: doing this show here live from the tire rack dot

990
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: Com studios, and we've been sitting here, you know, waxing

991
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 2: poetically about a lot of things out there. One of

992
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 2: the great mysteries that's currently going on in the world

993
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 2: is in Bolivia. Bo Benson had sent over a video.

994
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 2: We talked about it in Do You Care of a

995
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 2: drone video in Bolivia that had found How is it

996
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 2: described Bo like a like a creature walking upright or

997
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 2: something like that?

998
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 7: Bipedal creature?

999
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: The hell does that mean? Like? What's what's a bipedal creature?

1000
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 7: What walks on two legs?

1001
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like a human like that's like that's the

1002
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 2: part of that that's why. Like when the story comes out,

1003
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, why are they jump into conclusions? Like they're

1004
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: showing all these dead animals in the video? Like who knows,

1005
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: maybe the guy got hungry. I don't know what to

1006
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 2: tell you. Ever seen the movie seven? Like just stuff

1007
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: like that happened. But the point is there's like a

1008
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: big mystery, like is it a chupicabra? All right? Do

1009
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 2: we have actual evidence of a chup of cabra? And

1010
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 2: I look at it and I go, all right, Well,

1011
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: you can be concerned about that, or we could be

1012
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 2: concerned about the whereabouts of Aaron Rodgers because there's no

1013
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 2: A lot of theories thrown out about where Aaron Rodgers

1014
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 2: is and why he needed to miss mandatory mini camp, right,

1015
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 2: and a lot of people were very outraged by it. Right,

1016
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: So there's been stuff that's thrown out there. I saw

1017
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 2: somebody throw out there. Is he visiting the Pyramids or

1018
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 2: the Sphinx or whatever it is? Like, I mean, if

1019
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: that's if that's it, dude, If by the way, if

1020
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 2: that's the case, just go to the lux or it's

1021
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 2: right there. What's the difference? Honestly? Like, I mean, and

1022
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot cheaper, and you can gamble, like I

1023
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 2: don't know if you if you can gamble in the Pyramids,

1024
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: Like if they threw a slot machine in there, I

1025
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 2: might actually thinking about going. But if they're not going

1026
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 2: to I'll just go to the lux Or. Plus you

1027
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: can get to MGM, Grand Excalibur, all the same places.

1028
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 2: But there's been all sorts of theories thrown out there.

1029
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 2: He was on vacation, maybe he's oversees at like a

1030
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 2: concert festival, whatever the case is. Robert Sala wasn't concerned

1031
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 2: by it. Yeah, it wasn't excused, but you know they

1032
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: had to find him because that's part of the deal

1033
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: with the CBA. So you know he missed that time.

1034
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: You've got you know, other people that are saying, well,

1035
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 2: you know, it shows clear dysfunction and he needs to

1036
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 2: be there and it's mandatory, and it's like, okay, but

1037
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: what about all the other things that he was at

1038
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 2: and participated in this offseason? Like what about all that?

1039
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner defended him and basically said, you know the

1040
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 2: quiet part out loud, are you really making a big deal?

1041
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 2: But a fifteen year plus quarterback missing two days of

1042
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 2: me you know, like you've got it, and listen. You

1043
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 2: can argue one way or the other. The bottom line

1044
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 2: is this, and people can try and dispute this all

1045
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 2: they want. This is a fact. If this was any

1046
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: other starting quarterback in the NFL outside of Deshaun Watson,

1047
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: he's the exception. And I'll explain in a second. But

1048
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: if this was anybody in the NFL outside of Deshaun Watson,

1049
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: would this have gotten the coverage it got. The answer

1050
00:57:53,400 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: is no. The answer is no. I mean that's just

1051
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 2: the truth. But because it's Rogers, that's why I got coverage. Now,

1052
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson would have gotten coverage because it's like, all right,

1053
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 2: well dude, you should probably be there. You haven't been

1054
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: there very much, and they're paying the a lot of money,

1055
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of questions about character and willingness

1056
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 2: to play and all that stuff that comes along with it.

1057
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 2: All that would make sense. Like Deshaun Watson, I can

1058
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: understand the criticism, But Rogers missing two days of mandatory

1059
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 2: mini camp is a story because it's Rogers. That's why, Like,

1060
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: if this was my homes story, probably not, Josh Allen,

1061
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 2: probably not. Like literally every single quarterback in the NFL

1062
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 2: does it get the coverage that it would know, But

1063
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 2: because it's Rogers, that's where we're at. And you can

1064
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 2: try and say that this isn't factual, But if you

1065
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 2: talk to somebody in the media who's actually honest about it,

1066
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: Rogers has covered different than majority of players in the

1067
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 2: name foul And because he didn't tow the company line

1068
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: and because he didn't follow the crowd, and I think

1069
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: we all know what we're talking about here, and because

1070
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: he does things a little bit differently and because of that,

1071
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 2: he gets criticized differently than anybody else. And you can

1072
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: say that has nothing to do with this. It won

1073
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: one hundred percent? Does one hundred percent?

1074
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 3: Does?

1075
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 2: Like if Derek Carr missed mandatory mini camps and had

1076
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: it approved from the team prior, is this a story? No, Hey,

1077
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: where is Derek Carr? So whether they're not telling us

1078
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: where he is, okay, Like, and it doesn't matter what

1079
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: the reasoning is, Like whether he's visiting the pyramids, or

1080
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 2: he's at a concert festival, or he's you know, like

1081
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: traveling to space, or he's underground, you know, on the

1082
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: hippie lettuce again, like what like whatever it is, he's

1083
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: going to get judged differently and criticized differently for it.

1084
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 2: That's a fact. Like he talked to and communicated with

1085
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: them in advance. Ay, just so you know this has

1086
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 2: come up. It's really important to me. I want to

1087
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 2: take the time. But don't worry. It's not going to

1088
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 2: impact anything that I've got going on with the team here.

1089
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to be here the whole off season. We'll

1090
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: be here for training camp, all that stuff. I'm healthy,

1091
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go good. The guy was their majority

1092
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 2: of the time after he got hurt, tried to come

1093
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: back and play last year. But this idea that all

1094
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden we've got to question his commitment level.

1095
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 2: If you want to question his commitment level, you could

1096
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 2: have done that in Green Bay. Probably because he missed

1097
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 2: majority of the off season with the Jets has him

1098
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 2: in the case. But he gets treated differently And that's

1099
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: just a reality. And there's like people to get upset

1100
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 2: about that. And I can promise you right now, there's

1101
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 2: people that are going to push back on this and

1102
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 2: say no, no, no, you're just defending and you're you're

1103
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 2: ball washing Aaron Rodgers because you always bought it. It's

1104
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 2: like No, this is the truth. You can try and

1105
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 2: deny it, but he has strong opinions that a lot

1106
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 2: of people don't agree with, and therefore he gets judged differently.

1107
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 3: It's a truth.

1108
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: I mean, so what the guy's into some kid he

1109
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: didn't want to get vaccinated? His business, not mine. I

1110
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 2: don't care. Like I've never one time walked up to

1111
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 2: anybody during in the midst of co I never one

1112
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: time walked up to him and say, hey, did you

1113
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: get vexed? It's not my business what I'll do with

1114
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 2: like whatever. If he did, he did, that's fine. So

1115
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 2: the guy believes in a couple of conspiracy theories, so what,

1116
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 2: who knows. Maybe he's in Bolivia, for God's sakes, trying

1117
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 2: to figure out whether or not that was a chupacabra

1118
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: in a field somewhere, some guy taking a crap who

1119
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 2: maybe who knows, But whatever the answer is, and whatever

1120
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 2: we ultimately find out he was doing this past week,

1121
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: I promise you he's going to get buried for it

1122
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 2: and criticized, and it's going to happen differently than it

1123
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: would anybody else because he's Aaron Rodgers, Jonas Knox here

1124
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio get me on Twitter at the Jonas

1125
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: Knox at the Jonas Knox on Twitter, and you can

1126
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 2: hang out with us as always on the iHeartRadio app.

1127
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 2: Coming up next here though, from the tiraq dot Com Studios.

1128
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 2: I've got to make an honest admission here, all right,

1129
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: I've got to fess up to something, a mistake that

1130
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: I made in regard to a major sporting event. That'll

1131
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 2: be yours next here on FSR. But for all the

1132
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: latest from around the world of sports, it's Nick Cope Jonas.

1133
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 2: How worried were you with Albania scoring the fastest goal

1134
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 2: in euro history to get Italy on their heels early. Well,

1135
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 2: here's why I was concerned, because if Italy loses this game,

1136
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 2: good luck getting Chris Purfett's attention for the rest of

1137
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 2: the weekend. Right, it's not happening. I'm going places right now. Yeah,

1138
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: if it happens, that's I think that's bad for the network.

1139
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 2: So I just want everything to go well for Italy.

1140
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Lead my personal rooting interest out of this. This is

1141
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: for the well being a Fox Sports Radio because if

1142
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 2: you lose Cris prefet or if you get Chris Prefett

1143
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 2: in a pissy mood. That's not a fun environment to

1144
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 2: be in. I'll just say that. Well, Italy has taken

1145
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 2: a two to one lead, so I think order has

1146
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 2: been restored here, at least in the first thirty minutes

1147
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 2: of that. And by the way, the two goal lead,

1148
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 2: I believe, or the two goals that they've scored, I believe,

1149
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 2: is probably the most goals Italy's ever scored in a

1150
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 2: major tournament. And I mistaken it's been or not known

1151
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 2: for their offense. We'll just put it that way. Well,

1152
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 2: be sure to catch all of Euro twenty twenty four

1153
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 2: on Fox. By the way, quick Plug NFL News reports

1154
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 2: a Bengals receiver T Higgins has signed his franchise tag

1155
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 2: and he is expected to report to training camp next month.

1156
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 2: The long term deal for Higgins, though, is considered unlikely

1157
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 2: at this time. We got Round three of the US

1158
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 2: Open from Pinehurst. Number two in progress. The leaders have

1159
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 2: just gotten going. Ludwig Obert holds a solo lead at

1160
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 2: five hunder. You've got four players just one shot back

1161
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: at four under. Among them, Bryce in de Shambo and

1162
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 2: Patrick Cantley, Roy McRoy and Tony Finow are part of

1163
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 2: a group at three under. Got Game four, the Sanley

1164
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 2: Cup Final, coming up tonight at eight Eastern. The Florida

1165
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Panthers are seeking to become the first team to sweep

1166
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: the finals since the Red Wings did it to the

1167
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 2: Capitals back in nineteen ninety eight. Baseball News the Orioles

1168
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 2: placed right hander Kyle Bradish on the fifteen day injured

1169
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: list with the UCL sprain in his elbow. To have

1170
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: a couple of ball games going on. The Cubs lead

1171
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 2: the Cardinals two to one at Wrigley in the fifth inning,

1172
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 2: and those scorgeous yet between the Blue Jays and the

1173
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 2: Guardians second inning there in Toronto. Jonas back to you,

1174
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Thanks Nick Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio. Coming

1175
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 2: up and we'll call it fifteen minutes from now from

1176
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 2: the Ti rack dot Com studios, we are going to

1177
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 2: have another edition of the Scraps Things in the World

1178
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 2: of sports and beyond. We have not had a chance

1179
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 2: to get to today. They will be yours here as

1180
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: we close up shop on a Saturday afternoon. So I've

1181
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 2: got to admit something. We're talking about the US Open

1182
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 2: this week on two pros and a Cup of Joe.

1183
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 2: I do that show with God the How's their name whatever,

1184
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: but it's featuring me and it's got a couple other

1185
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: guys as well too. They played in the NFL or

1186
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 2: something like that. But the point is we were doing

1187
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 2: this show and we were talking about the US Open.

1188
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 2: We were making picks and the way we do it

1189
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: because we could sit here and like pretend that we

1190
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 2: know who's going to win the US Open, or we

1191
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 2: could just draw names out of a hat. So we

1192
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: found a hat that was in the kitchen, like literally

1193
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: like somebody's hat that was just left there in the kitchen.

1194
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 2: Which if I mean, if you're looking for anything, you

1195
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 2: could probably find it in the kitchen of a radio studio,

1196
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 2: Like if you're like, and I've said this before, like

1197
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 2: there's a like a certain protocol like for radio, like

1198
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 2: if you work in radio, and normally what it is

1199
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 2: is like whatever food you don't finish at home, just

1200
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 2: bring it in and throw it in the kitchen and

1201
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 2: leave it there, and it doesn't matter if it's been

1202
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 2: sitting there for two three days, somebody's gonna eat it,

1203
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Like whether it's Halloween candy, goldfish crackers, you know, cookies

1204
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 2: that you claim to have made, but they're clearly were

1205
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 2: store bought and expired, but you put them, you like,

1206
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: put them on a paper plate and put foil over them,

1207
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 2: like he just put them pulled him out of the oven.

1208
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 2: That's my go to. I always do that, Like there's

1209
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,439
Speaker 2: just you know, like things like that you could just find.

1210
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 2: And apparently we found a hat. Somebody had left their

1211
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: hat there, so we just drew names out of the hat.

1212
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: And so the name, like, as we're drawing all these

1213
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 2: names out of the hat, the name I drew out

1214
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: of the hat.

1215
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 3: Was h.

1216
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 2: I pronounced that Ludwig Aburg, and as I have come

1217
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 2: to find out, apparently that is not the pronunciation that

1218
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 2: we are that we are looking for. Apparently, as Nick

1219
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 2: Cope has pointed out, Ludwig Obert, I believe is the

1220
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 2: proper pronunciation. So I just want to apologize because that

1221
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 2: was a misstep on my part. I thought it was

1222
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 2: pretty simple, pretty straightforward. You know, Ludwig Aberg. We were

1223
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 2: making jokes about Lodwig von Beethoven, and apparently it's definitely

1224
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 2: not Aberg. But he is leading the US Open so

1225
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 2: that is good news. And it's unfortunate that I butchered

1226
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 2: his name. The name that I did draw out of

1227
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 2: the Hat this week on two pros and a cup

1228
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 2: of Joe. So I just want to admit to that.

1229
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: I want to fess up to that. For those of

1230
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 2: you that have never been to a US Open, it's

1231
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: actually a pretty fun event. I had a chance to

1232
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 2: go in twenty sixteen to Oakmont, and the most noteworthy

1233
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 2: part of that was the Pittsburgh Penguins had just won

1234
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup. I think it was twenty sixteen or

1235
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. I think it was twenty sixteen. They had

1236
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 2: just won the Stanley Cup, and so all the Penguins

1237
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: players were walking around the course annihilated, like like walking

1238
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 2: around in flip flops, drinking beers, just really because they

1239
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 2: had just had their I think they had their championship parade.

1240
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 2: I went there and it was like the most bo

1241
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: I've ever smelled in my life, Like people like for

1242
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 2: whatever reason, it was really hot in Pittsburgh, especially that week,

1243
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: and like there were storm I think it was really

1244
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: really bad, and the BO level, the BO index in

1245
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh at that time was off the charts, and Penguins

1246
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 2: players are just walking around getting housed while they were

1247
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 2: getting ready to watch golf. Let's go live to our

1248
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 2: I have a thought on the Penguin's bo insider Chris

1249
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: Popfett for the latest Chris nothing on the bo. But

1250
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: I can confirm being drunk off your Keeyaster is very

1251
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 2: good at the US Open, because I did it last

1252
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 2: year at the La Country Club because connections. I had

1253
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 2: an open bar with the USGA, and I was hammered

1254
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 2: every day. Hey, can we get around joy everything? Hey,

1255
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: I have a Christopher being relatable bo how about that

1256
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 2: I had connections. I had connections. Meanwhile, I can't even

1257
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: play Golden Tea without putting a dollar in and losing

1258
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: seventy five cents on it. But you've got connections to

1259
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 2: the USGA, so you can go to the these golf events. Well, look,

1260
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: open bar. What can I say?

1261
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1262
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 2: And look, if you're one of those people that likes

1263
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 2: to follow around the crowd like you like to just

1264
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 2: it's for me. Like, if you want to go there

1265
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: and have a couple of drinks, that's fun. I just

1266
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 2: like following around golfers is not fun. But if you

1267
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 2: remember the Pittsburgh Penguins back in the day, you know

1268
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 2: you got to indulge and have a couple of cocktails

1269
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,560
Speaker 2: while you were there, so that when I think of

1270
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 2: the us OPEN, I want to apologize to love Big

1271
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 2: I butchered your last name. But it'll never happen again.

1272
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 2: It probably will, but you won't be listening anyways and

1273
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 2: waxing poetically about the greatness of the us OPEN. I

1274
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 2: did want to mention this because there some people that

1275
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 2: are still bothered and think this is like an easy

1276
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 2: fix and an easy solution. They think that like every

1277
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 2: time there's a gambling issue that pops up, that we

1278
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: just have to like throw the book at them, like, God,

1279
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 2: we can't have any of this stuff, Like no, we've

1280
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: got to make any It's like you want to make

1281
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 2: an example of everybody there's And the reason I bring

1282
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 2: that up is because there's an empire umpire who is apparently,

1283
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 2: like was under investigation. They were looking into, you know,

1284
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 2: potential gambling violations. Like people see that and they just

1285
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 2: automatically assume that this guy must have been betting on games,

1286
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 2: Like they must automatically assume he's betting on games and

1287
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: because of that, he's throwing games, when the reality is

1288
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 2: it could have been at spring training and maybe he

1289
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 2: bet on another sporting event. But he wasn't allowed to

1290
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 2: do it in the facility, which to me should not

1291
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: matter whatsoever at all. And if you want to know

1292
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 2: whether or not somebody's gambling on games, if you can

1293
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 2: track everything nowadays, wouldn't you be able to track that?

1294
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 2: Like I can understand why you would want to make

1295
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 2: an example of somebody who was really actually gambling on games,

1296
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 2: But as we've seen, there's not that many of those examples.

1297
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: Like Johntay Porter's a different level that's justified. Johntay Porter

1298
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 2: was intentionally missing shots because he was in debt to

1299
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 2: a bookie. Like that's a problem, okay, you know, like

1300
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 2: that's a that's a that's a little bit of an issue.

1301
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 2: But if somebody's in the facility and you know they're

1302
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 2: playing you know, online Texas hold'em, or they're you know,

1303
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 2: they're they're betting on you know, a horse race or

1304
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 2: an NBA game, or there's so like you know or

1305
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 2: like you know a college basketball dude, if it was

1306
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 2: spring training, this guy could have been betting on an

1307
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament game. What does that have to do with

1308
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 2: his job as an umpire? It shouldn't matter. So like

1309
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 2: when everyone wants to just do the easy part and

1310
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 2: just on the surface say no, no, no, no. If

1311
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:11,839
Speaker 2: you have anything to do with gambling, if you're gambling

1312
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 2: on anything, throw the book at him. Oh okay, all right,

1313
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 2: So that's what we're gonna do, because if that's what

1314
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 2: we're doing, you're gonna be there a long time. You

1315
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 2: think players, if they wanted to, couldn't gamble on a game.

1316
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 2: You think players, if they wanted to, don't have a

1317
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: conversation with a buddy or two who says, hey, man,

1318
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 2: you know I got you on my fantasy team. What's

1319
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 2: it looking like this week? Well, I wouldn't play me

1320
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 2: because we're gonna split carries. You don't think that's ever

1321
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 2: not that's ever happened before, Like you think that's just

1322
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 2: like this is the first this stuff has ever popped up.

1323
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: So when I see people get up in arms about

1324
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 2: this or freak out in panic, I go, dude, you're

1325
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 2: not looking at it realistically. Stop being naive. There's an

1326
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 2: element of this that has always been there. Just because

1327
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 2: you got a couple of bad apples like Johntay Porter

1328
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 2: who's intentionally missing shots because he's in gambling debt, doesn't mean,

1329
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 2: everybody's that bad. Jonas Knox here, Fox Sports Radio at

01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 7: as a long shot. Per Adam Schefter, you have that this.

1368
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 2: Felt like this is where this was headed. Like I look, man,

1369
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 2: I the more I think about the Bengals because I

1370
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 2: like him to win the division. That was my pick.

1371
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 2: You know, probably about a month ago, I was like,

1372
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: I like the But the more that Joe Burrow talks

1373
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 2: about his injury and his recovery front, the more I'm.

1374
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 7: Like, it's a little interesting to hear im say football mortality.

1375
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I hear that, and I go, he's starting

1376
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 2: about like these dark times and all that, And I

1377
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 2: just go, well, like, what the hell happened? Like because this,

1378
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 2: you know, like it's not like this run of the mill,

1379
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 2: like we've seen him suffer injuries before, Like I don't

1380
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: know if he's actually gone through a full training camp healthy,

1381
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 2: like I think, you know, he's always had something pop

1382
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 2: up since he's come into the NFL, And the way

1383
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 2: he talks, I go, well, that's a bummer. And then

1384
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 2: with T Higgins, like the Jamar Chase is their guy,

1385
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 2: they're going to figure out, you know, that'll be the

1386
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 2: one that gets done and he's going to be their

1387
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 2: long term and T Higgins you're just hoping for a

1388
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: big year so you can cash in when you can

1389
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 2: become a free agent next year. And then with Joe

1390
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 2: Burrow talking about his injury and his recovery, I'm like, dude,

1391
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 2: this just has me It has costs for concern for

1392
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 2: me about the Bengals this year.

1393
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a little weird.

1394
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 2: It's a little weird, little odd. So. Yeah.

1395
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 7: While the the Atlanta Falcons did not escape penalty for

1396
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 7: their tampering with Kirk Cousins and I think two other guys,

1397
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 7: the Eagles were totally exonerated by the NFL and their

1398
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 7: tampering investigation as they looked into the signing of running

1399
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 7: back Saquon Barkley.

1400
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,560
Speaker 2: The NFL tampering stuff is so lame. Yeah, like it

1401
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 2: really is. I look at it and I go like,

1402
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: isn't everybody tampering like it at some level?

1403
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean all it is now is like, you know,

1404
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,759
Speaker 7: the price of reaching out to a player early. If

1405
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 7: you're telling me that all it takes is a fifth

1406
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 7: round pick and I can talk to like whatever star

1407
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 7: quarterback hits for agency next like and that's that's all

1408
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 7: I gotta do, all right, Sure, I'll do that, no problem.

1409
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 2: And Also, if Kirk Cousins doesn't say anything at the

1410
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 2: press com, it's nothing. Probably happened somebody they tried to say, Well,

1411
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 2: it was you know, Darnell Mooney and Charlie Warner. They

1412
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 2: were also it's like okay, stop, yeah, like this it is.

1413
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 2: It is kind of funny though that you know, the

1414
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 2: Falcons risked so much because they had to have Kirk

1415
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 2: Cousins only to draft his replacement.

1416
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 7: Did you see they turned down a fourth round pick

1417
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 7: from the Bears just to move up one spot so

1418
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 7: they could for sure get Odeon's so oh really yeah, yeah,

1419
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 7: that was a thing. This week. The Ryan Poles called

1420
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,560
Speaker 7: the Falcons just to offer a fourth round pick to

1421
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 7: move up one spot, and they said no, oh geez, yeah.

1422
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, you know, but they'll sell it.

1423
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 2: Is well, if you have conviction in your guy, if

1424
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 2: that's your guy, that's your guys. Okay, well, I mean

1425
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 2: now we get to see how it plays out. But

1426
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 2: you know, the guy that you already replaced, you know,

1427
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 2: at least within the next couple of years. You it

1428
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 2: costs you two hundred and fifty grand or three hundred

1429
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 2: grand of you count the GM fine and a fifth

1430
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 2: round pick.

1431
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: It's just odd how that.

1432
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 2: Stuff works, very weird.

1433
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 7: So the Los Angeles Lakers are continuing their head coaching search.

1434
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 7: They will report it. Bring in JJ Reddick for an

1435
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 7: interview this weekend. The funny thing about this, though, is

1436
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,879
Speaker 7: just the slap fight in the media between Shams, Serranie

1437
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 7: and Adrian rojen Rowski. It's been a pleasure to watch.

1438
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 7: I hope it continues. I love it so much.

1439
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: But now, so Woj had the Danny Hurley side, yeah,

1440
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 2: because nobody else had Yeah. And I mean so Scham's

1441
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 2: had JJ Redick as the front runner like a week

1442
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 2: before that, and then Woj comes out of nowhere with

1443
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley. And then also you have to keep in

1444
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 2: mind that Woj literally wrote the book on Dan Hurley,

1445
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 2: so it's interesting that he was the one that had

1446
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: that and everybody in Lakerland was like, well, I haven't

1447
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 2: heard that at all, and then yeah, it went the

1448
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 2: way it went, and then Sham's just started taking shots

1449
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 2: at Woj in the media this week. It's been a joy.

1450
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 2: And I was talking, we were talking about it last

1451
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 2: week on the show, and I was like, the way

1452
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: that it was reported last Thursday was this as if

1453
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 2: it was a dundee. Yeah, like it was imminent, like oh,

1454
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 2: he's just basically he's going to come to town sign

1455
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 2: the deal and then he's gonna be there because we

1456
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 2: broke into the show like with breaking news and We're like, oh,

1457
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 2: nobody saw it, Like yeah.

1458
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 7: Which was funny too because people were trashing shams for

1459
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 7: the way he worded his jj Reddick report and Woe's

1460
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 7: worded his Hurley Report the same exact way.

1461
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 2: It just it's like the whole thing, it didn't make sense.

1462
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 2: And then as it went on and it got to Saturday,

1463
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 2: and then Sunday, it was like, well, he was gonna

1464
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 2: make his decision tomorrow. I'm like, oh, he's staying. Yeah, Yeah,

1465
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 2: he's definitely staying. There's no way he's taking the gig.

1466
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, what a what a saga?

1467
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

1468
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 7: So we've been talking about the chupacabra siding in Bolivia,

1469
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 7: and I do have a friend of mine that claims

1470
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 7: to have seen a chupacabra in San Diego. He was

1471
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 7: driving late at night and he saw something akin to

1472
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 7: a monkey bolt across the road.

1473
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

1474
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 7: And he swore that it was a cheop ofcabra, and

1475
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 7: I'm inclined to believe him. So we have multiple chubicabra

1476
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 7: sidings in the world, and that's my chupcappa story. Okay,

1477
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 7: But now, was it near the San Diego Zoo? I

1478
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 7: don't know, But you know, it could have been an

1479
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 7: escaped monkey. That's possible, but I think we'd heard about that.

1480
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 7: But I believe him. The Chupacabra's real. Look I don't.

1481
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll say this right now. I hope all

1482
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 2: of it's real. I hope Bigfoot's real. I hope all

1483
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: of it's real. Like to me, I'm not upset about

1484
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: having to go back and like reinvestigate. My education as

1485
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 2: a kid was what it was. All right. If these

1486
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 2: conspirators are true, and there's a Chewbacabra in Bolivia that's

1487
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 2: taking a dump in a field somewhere and a drone

1488
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 2: caught it, I hope Aaron Rodgers sees it. I got

1489
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 2: no issue with it. A nice son of a bitch,
