Speaker 3: to get to crad Let me just get out in

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: front of this dude.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: You welcome back, Alex Tischer. I don't care that the

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Jets aren't getting Dante More. I don't care care that

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: they're not getting Are you doing a parenthetic call this year?

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: I you know what you're gonna suck again, and you're

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna be waiting for him in twenty seven. No, no

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: waiting for Archer Manning in twenty seven. Well, you gotta

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: you gotta move up that last spot. That's all right,

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: that's all right. Hey, listen, I said from the beginning, Okay,

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: I said from the beginning, I'm not that high on

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: this quarterback class.

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Dante Moore is a risk. He could be great, he

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: might not be. But in the end, whatever the Jets

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: do is gonna be wrong your quarterback. So if they're

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: not picking a quarterback, okay, I am, I am. I

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: absolutely am fine with him not getting in the draft

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: and Jets potentially ruining their future. Look, maybe he's great,

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: but he's a risk. And obviously he says I gotta

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: go back to college.

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: All right. Maybe it's self confidence, isn't there that he's

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: ready for the NFL. But run, I'll tell you right,

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I do not care that he went back to Oregon

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: and the Jets aren't going to get him. I'm actually

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: relieved that they can go and do something else with

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the pick. They can, you know, trade out at number

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: two to somebody who wants to move up. You know,

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: they can do any of those things. I am okay

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: with them not getting him all. My disagreement with Dante

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Moore's decision has to do with him and his future

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: and listening to the to the wrong people who are

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: just costing him, you know, somewhere upwards of forty million dollars.

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: But as far as the Jets, not that, I am

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: okay because I already know who the Jets quarterback is

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: going to be next year.

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't know he's gonna be playing this weekend, actually

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 3: at weekend or is he in the booth? Actually, if

54
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: he plays this weekend, his team is might be in

55
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: a little bit of trouble. But then the quarterback next

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: year is it's gonna be Matt Jones. It's good to

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: because he still has a year left on his deal.

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: But I really thought you were gonna tell me it

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: was Kirk Cousins agent.

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you can't do that. You can go

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: back to that in New York. You don't go back

62
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: to that guy.

63
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: Now.

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: A couple of couple of things here. You know, you

65
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: started when you said the word wrong, it was like

66
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: you were watching all in the family all day.

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: He's wrong.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just showing you. It's a celebration

69
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: of Sandford's son and their initial foray into the television

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: universe today. But wrong, Yeah, more, there's there's a lot

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into it in terms of how many starts

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: or whatever else. But for the Jets, yeah, I mean,

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to push that can and kick

74
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: that can down the road. Uh. If you do go

75
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: to trade for Mac Jones, be careful because you'll give

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: up all discernible assets to get him, you know, Jets.

77
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: All right, now, let me just say this my favorite

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: all outside of Archie the you know, coming up with

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the different ways to kill himself. While Edith is telling

80
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: a story, like, my favorite all in the family joke

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: was when Archie and and and Mike rest in peace

82
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: rob Ryder when they were arguing over Harvey Haddocks.

83
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Remember when the big MLB games growing up, we heard

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: about this, and he had a perfect game into the

85
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: twelfth inning and he wound up losing it, and and

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: he lost the game. He got a home run, He

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: had a perfect game into the twelfth inning of the game.

88
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: He lost it, right, So they were arguing that Haddocks

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: had and Archie Bunker says he had a perfect game.

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: He had a perfect Mike says, no, he didn't know

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: he'd give a home run in the twelfth And they

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: were arguing over this, and and Mike finds the newspaper

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: and sees his here, I found a copy of the newspaper.

94
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: From you know, however many years ago it was.

95
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: He goes here, Harvey Haddocks loses perfect game and twelfth inning,

96
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: and he goes, I just won the bet, meat head,

97
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: because if he didn't have a perfect game, how did

98
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: he lose it? Arguing without logic to somebody, how he

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: how did he have it? How could he lose it

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: if he didn't have it to begin with? Right, Like,

101
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: that's our that's some great writing. But no, look but

102
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: but mac Jones worriing it to Dante more is that?

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Look?

104
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Yes, in theory, the forty nine ers keeping Matt Jones

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: for one more year, you know, like seven million dollars

106
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: would be the smart thing. But number one, generally, teams

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: don't keep a guy from getting a starting job as

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: long as they can get good value for him in

109
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: a trade. And they will get great value from Mac

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: Jones because the quarterback crop now this offseason is not

111
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: gonna be great. The Jets don't want to go spend

112
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: all kinds of money to go to acquire Kyler Murray

113
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: or to a tongue of Iloa for for a season

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 3: until they get their next guy. But mac Jones would

115
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: be great at bidding war. He'll get at least a

116
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: fourth round pick, which if you're the forty nine Ers,

117
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: great maybe because more Pete teams rich, maybe you can

118
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: get a third for mac Jones as well as he's

119
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: played now this year. But really, the forty nine Ers

120
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: are in a it's a sticky spot because yeah, I'm

121
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: old enough to remember when brock Purty was out and

122
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: mac Jones was playing just as well as brock Purty was.

123
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: The Niners don't want to be any part of a controversy,

124
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: even though Mac, even though brock Purty has shown that

125
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: he will get dinged up, they don't need part of

126
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: a quarterback controversy. And brock Purty's distinguished himself the last

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: few weeks since he'd come back, had a great game

128
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: last week, So yeah, I think the Niners might be

129
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: a little bit more motivated to.

130
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Move on for mac Jones. And clearly Kyle Shanhannis Shoon

131
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: whoever he brings in, Hey, I can fix and they

132
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: can be a quarterback. So yeah, if they can get

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: a fourth or third round pick and they move on

134
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: from any potential mess they would have with Brock Perdy

135
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt Mac Jones, I think they would

136
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. I think we want to stay to

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots. You know he wants to stick into the Patriots. Yeah,

138
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: and I think there's a bigger divide between Purdy and

139
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: Jones than you do. But the idea that going into

140
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: next year, given the fact that Perdy has missed time

141
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: due to injury several years in a row, you do

142
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of needs. Even though you're still playing

143
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: this weekend and you're actually getting potentially some of these

144
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: guys back. Yeah. I don't know if Fred Warner is

145
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: at sixty percent or eighty percent or what his power

146
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: bar is in the old video game system, but his

147
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: presence would be a mits rinky peersaw all these guys

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: back at practice. That's great, But just the idea that

149
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: you are aging out, you do have a lot of issues.

150
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have George Kittle for the foreseeable future

151
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: if he comes back in this next year at all.

152
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: And we've seen with Shanahan the ability to say I

153
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: can get another guy into my system and we can

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: keep the line moving. Right as long as twenty three's

155
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: out there, you got a puncher's chance. Right. But you

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: go into the marketplace and there's such a divide in

157
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: terms of who's got a quarterback and the uh what

158
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: twenty five teams that don't that you're gonna have a

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: market for Mac Jones and Dante Moore opting to go

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: back to school certainly creates a bigger void. Now. Dante Moore,

161
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Oregon quarterback who decided to go back to school, A

162
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: nice job, Dylan Reyola getting that dot may maybe you

163
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: want hit the portal again get paid.

164
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: But he goes back to college and this is why

165
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: he made the wrong decis. I don't know who he

166
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: was listening to. I don't know what what what pushed

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: it one way or the other. Maybe it was well

168
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: that might have helped him.

169
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: A couple of those plays from that game against Indiana

170
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: that really look terrible the Jets the second Dante Moore

171
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: would have gone second. Yeah, I say, you are we

172
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: sure that Dante Moore was gonna get the Jets were

173
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna pick them. Are we sure that they were gonna

174
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: pick second or somebody else was gonna say, Hey, there's

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time between now and the draft. Certainly

176
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, if I know, they were sold on Mendoza

177
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: because they went to see Mendoza one hundred times this year.

178
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: It's like a travel It's like a dead show, you know,

179
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: traveling to go see Fanana Mendoza every week. But maybe

180
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and really long time togo. Hey, guess what so and

181
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: so wants to trade up to two and the Jets

182
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: needing all sorts of of of stuff to fill their roster.

183
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: Ound get hey, we'll take draft picks. Oh wait a minute,

184
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: So I could be going someplace else at number two.

185
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that is two things. Number One,

186
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: every decision you take, whether you stay in college go

187
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: to the NFL, carries risk. Am I going to the

188
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: right team? Am I not going to the right team?

189
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: It's a risk just because it's not the Jets. Do

190
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: you think the Cardinals are better? You think that? You

191
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: think all these other teams that are picking at the

192
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: top of the draft. You think the Browns are gonna

193
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: be better? I think that's a better fit for you.

194
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean next year, because here's who's going you think

195
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: those are better fits. Every decision carries risk, right, and

196
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell it to you this way. I'll give it

197
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: to you this way, and then you show how this

198
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: is a decision that doesn't make sense, whether you do

199
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: football for living or anything else. Let's say you, Mike Harmon,

200
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: are the manager of a grocery store. All right, okay,

201
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you manager a Pathmark where I work.

Speaker 1: I no, no non foods, deli, department, bakery, produce, front

203
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,320

205
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: from all the melons and fruits. So you are the

206
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: manager of this store right now. You do really well

207
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,960

Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Right, Okay, all right, that's not bad now,

216
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: knowing full well that you're only gonna be here for

217
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,880

276
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: store managers that we like, I guess what, We're gonna

277
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: have them come in and do different things and there

278
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: will be a place for you.

279
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: But I can't guarantee you the money. You might get

280
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240

285
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: But right now, you come here for four years and

286
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: fifty million, we'll give it to you. Who says I'm

287
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: staying at that first store? Nobody does. I don't know

288
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: how you give Dante Moore that kind of ice or

289
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: he thinks I'm turning down this four years and fifty

290
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: million guaranteed for one year an eight million when there's

291
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: a risk everywhere. But I can guarantee generational wealth or

292
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: one year of incredible wealth year, but four years of

293
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: generational wealth and all I have to do. I have

294
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: to prove myself, right, No matter where you go, they

295
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: want you to prove yourself. So yeah, uh, this is

296
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: kind of the risk here. So I want to know

297
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: how anybody thinks that's the smart decision to go, Hey,

298
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: one year, eight million dollars nil money versus number two

299
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 3: overall pick and fifty million.

300
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I've been trying to wrap my

301
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: head around this because we talked about it last week

302
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: when it started to become this this big, raging topic,

303
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: and then today we get the decision and he does

304
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: it on TV and everything else. As like trying to

305
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: put my arms around it. When you talk about getting

306
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: more experience, sure long term potential success, we've done all

307
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: the talking points of a guy with you know, just

308
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: thirteen fifteen eighteen starts different data points that we have

309
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: against more tenured guys, you know, the brock Parties of

310
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: the world who go to mister irrelevancy before making their

311
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,359
Speaker 1: big money and becoming stars like he did in San Francisco.

312
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: But for Dante Moore, you've showed very well except for

313
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: that game against Indiana. Yeah, you got another guy that

314
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: they signed in the case that you didn't show up.

315
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: So who's to say, Dan Lanning and the coaching staff

316
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: don't look around and maybe you get beat out in camp.

317
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Maybe it's that bad. I don't anticipate that it is,

318
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: but maybe it is. Maybe you get hurt all of

319
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: those things. Yeah, I want the fifty two million dollars

320
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: in the bank, but you knew that was gonna be

321
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: my answer from day one. Either without your shopping experience,

322
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: good luck Dante Moore, Good luck everything's ariythen no good luck.

323
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: I hope it works out for him again. I'm okay

324
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: not getting him. That's why I can say I'm okay now.

325
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: But you're just kind of kicking it down the road

326
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: because you know you're still gonna be drafting where you're

327
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna draft him in the top five. Detch. It's not

328
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning decided I'm going back to school because

329
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells wouldn't guarantee that he's taking me number one overall.

330
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's not that. Good luck Dante more,

331
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: good luck with that horrendous decision. Good luck exit ou

353
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: coming up in a minute. But first, uh, I gotta

354
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: say this because boy, a season just becomes more and

355
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: more of a disaster with every passing day. And by that,

356
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's or does no, no, no, don't well, okay,

357
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: that that's The Knicks just started. They're getting blown out

358
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: by Sacramento.

359
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: It's and they're getting your as go in the first quarter.

360
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: It's fine, It's these are a new little King's squad.

361
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: It'll get after you. Is It's new look king Squad?

362
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: Uh Yeah, Weber will be great. Mike Bibbie yeah, no, no.

363
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: Years old. He could get after that.

364
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: But uh, with every passing day as we get set

365
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: for the National Championship game on Monday between the Hurricanes

366
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: and the Indiana Hoosiers, which again, yeah, I mean someone

367
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: got dropped down from another planet. Just heard that for

368
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: the first time.

369
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: It said what what Miami and Indiana?

370
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: Uh, the Ohio State season just gets more and more

371
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: disastrous with every passing day, because today linebacker Sonny Styles

372
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: declared for the NFL Draft, which we thought was gonna happen.

373
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so now you have Sunny Styles rvel Re,

374
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: who may wind up going number two overall. Now, right,

375
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: he might be the he's the favorite to go number

376
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: two because hey, if he's getting Micah Parsons comparisons. Okay,

377
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm okay with the Jets picking a defensive guy because

378
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: they do okay with those the quarterbacks, they're always wrong,

379
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: But I'm okay with that. But you have him, You

380
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: have Caleb Downs, who I told you I would take

381
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: as the number one non quarterback pick. This guy's like

382
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: drafting Rod Woodson. You have Carnal Tate, right, and you

383
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: got Kaden McDonald. All five of these Ohio State stars

384
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: are projected to go in the top twenty. Right, they're

385
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: all in melk kiper Junior's top fifteen overall draft selections. Right,

386
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: you have five guys that you are gonna see drafted

387
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: in the top fifteen to twenty. Let's just be in

388
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: top twenty. And you still lost your couldn't win the

389
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: Big Ten, and lost your first playoff game this season

390
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: for Ohio State.

391
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: So you're calling for fired, Well, it's not because that's

392
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: really where I'm connect the dots. You know, he won

393
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: the national title a year ago, and that's okay. I'll

394
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: give you a year Mulligan for winning. But when you

395
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: come back, like I thought last year from Michigan was

396
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: a disaster coming off the national title when they had

397
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: what four guys taken in the top twenty five and

398
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: they just didn't get a quarterback and so they gave

399
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: away that year. This is even worse. Right, this is

400
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: your by far and away, the best team in the country.

401
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: And look at this NFL talent again. You're gonna have

402
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: five names selected in the top twenty, which is gonna

403
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: be great for recruiting. Ryan Day's gonna be calling guys

404
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: and hey, look at this.

405
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: Five of your starters selected a first round of the draft,

406
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: and you couldn't even win the Big Ten. That is,

407
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: that is an absolute disasse. No one had a more

408
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: disastrous season in college football than Ohio State.

409
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know those others that ar mean. Marcus Freeman

410
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: had to have a press conference to say, I'm not leaving.

411
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 3: Well, don't lose your first two games and you'll you know,

412
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: you'll got like that.

413
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: Was the savor of Oh well, at least he's not

414
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: leaving more disastrous that. There's other seventeen guys. Are they

415
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: going to be first? Right on the twenty two?

416
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: A disaster? Disaster? Now the good news for this, the

417
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 3: good news for this. Yeah, when this happened, all day,

418
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: I've been thinking, well, how would Berman announce that? Boy,

419
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: how would Berman announce Sunny Styles to the NF No, no, no,

420
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: I've been working on three good ones all day. Okay,

421
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: I think I know what one of them is.

422
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: We'll decide three good ones, three good ones. We'll decide, Okay,

423
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: nor clearly, TJ he's not every day Tom Dick or

424
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Harry Styles is headed to the NFL draft. Harry Styles

425
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: coming to a town near you.

426
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: For Styles, there is one direction in his career. And

427
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: that's to the NFL Draft.

428
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: We're staying with this theme. Okay, uh.

429
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: Going into the draft, he was unsure of his talent level,

430
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: if he should be someone that should go back to

431
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: school for a year or head to the NFL. The

432
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: scouting report on him says he was insecure, but you

433
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: don't know what's for. He was turning heads when he

434
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: walked through the door, or everyone else in the draft

435
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 3: room could see it, everyone else but him. He lights

436
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: up running backs like nobody else. The way he flips

437
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks gets me overwhelmed. You don't know you're a top

438
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: pick in the NFL DRAFTDJ.

439
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: That was the fastest three minutes. Chris burder I was

440
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: waiting for a Furious Style. I got Julius Styles in

441
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: Oh I could have I could have got Julius Style. Well,

442
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: we also are in the first half hour of the show. Boy.

443
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: You don't think I didn't have Julius Styles ready, I

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: didn't have burn after reading making fans in Columbus. Furious

445
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: Styles is headed to the NFL. So you're gonna do

446
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: some lines of ten things I hate about you, some

447
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: Larry Miller like lines. But but you, Sonny, you're my son,

448
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: you're my problem and you want to head to the NFL.

449
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: There you go, Ryan Day holding the ball bearings like Lauren.

450
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: Now you're talking Curious Styles, one of the greatest names

451
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: and movies.

452
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: Oh I like that. I really had to get all

453
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: the Harry Styles out.

454
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: No, that's good, Yeah, because we got to get let

455
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, because listen, the gen Z millennials all get

456
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: Harry Styles. Get a little bit deeper for boys, I

457
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: mean Boys in the Hood that came out, you know,

458
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: thirty five years. It's a long time. I mean, there's

459
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of people still watch it, but if they

460
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, it's their loss. And I got to

461
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: get ten ten things I hate about you and Julius Styles.

462
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: That's a watch ago man. Well, but that allows you

463
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: to go down the road of any kind of joker

464
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: quote you want to get in or anything else that

465
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Heath Ledger did.

466
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: So h yeah, so so so sunny. So again, this

467
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: season just gets worse and worse for all house Well,

468
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: or does it.

469
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Get better that you say for those that were able

470
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: to vanquish them, that they beat the best, and for

471
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: the Ohio State coaching staff and administrators. You can go

472
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: back and say, you know what, we need bigger checks. Yeah,

473
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: bigger checks because we need clearly, even these five we're

474
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: not enough.

475
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, got we got one hundred thousand, we got a

476
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: we got a what they got one hundred million dollars

477
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: roster at Ohio State and we didn't even win the

478
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: Big ten and we got guys going. We got five

479
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: guys got every fourth.

480
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: Pick in the Mets spent three hundred million dollars. They

481
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: got nothing. Come on, man, that's what a disaster for

482
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State. Now you want a great, big hot take

483
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: off of one of the big stories this week in

484
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Today, UH, Steelers owner Art Rooney the second

485
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: talked about his conversation with Mike Tomlin in why he

486
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: walked away from the Steelers job. He resigned.

487
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: H He's gonna potentially do TV free or something else,

488
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: not expected to coach in twenty twenty six and then

489
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: re enter the market in twenty twenty seven. Now you

490
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: want a great, big hot take, let's hear Steelers owner

491
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 3: Art Rooney the second UH talking about his conversation with Tomlin,

492
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: how it went, and where the future sits for the Steelers.

493
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: Take a listen, because boy, we got something for you.

494
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 4: You know, Mike indicated that he did not anticipate coaching

495
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: at least, you know, in the near future. I think

496
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 4: he wants to spend time with his family and do

497
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: some of the kinds of things he hasn't been able

498
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: to do for the last you know, many many years.

499
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 4: And so you know, if if something like that comes up,

500
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: we'll deal with it when it comes up. But right now,

501
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: that doesn't seem to be on his radar.

502
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't he sound a bit like Aaron Rodgers?

503
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 4: Does it? Not?

504
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: Rudey said, play the beginning of that again, tyser, A

505
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of Aaron Rodgers. Good.

506
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: You know, Mike indicated that he did not anticipate coaching

507
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 4: at least you know, in the near future.

508
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: I think he wants so maybe a little ai happened,

509
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe like it was Art Rudy, but it was Aaron

510
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: Rodgers providing the voice. It's pretty emotional. Honestly, it's been

511
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: a great year.

512
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: But you want a big hot take, Okay, what now?

513
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 3: And and Rooney went on to talk about how it

514
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: surprised him. We talked about running it back. This is

515
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: Mike's decision, and he doesn't seem to me like he

516
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: wants to coach in the foreseeable future. Obviously, you know

517
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: things will change in a year. However, let me throw

518
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: this out there. What if he's done? What if he's

519
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 3: done coaching?

520
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: Right, because in theory, Bill Kauer was gonna do the

521
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: same thing coach of the Steelers. I'm walking away, gonna

522
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: do TV for a little bit, then get back on

523
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: an NFL sideline. He was young enough, Okay, I know

524
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: the big thing's gonna open up for me. What's Bill

525
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: Cower doing? Still on television? All right? And millennials don't

526
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: even know who he is other than he's a guy

527
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: on TV, right, Mike Tomlin coming off of nineteen years

528
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: as an NFL head coach. And we've seen it before

529
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: where guys who have disdain for the media suddenly love

530
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the media. I love the media. He's gonna show up,

531
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: go on TV, make tons of money, very sought after, right.

532
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Fox at next to Jake, Maybe it's something else.

533
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: And do you really think he's not gonna sit back and.

534
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: Go, boy, this is a pretty good paycheck and I

535
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: can have time for myself, my family, whatever I want

536
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: to do. Still be a big guy in the League

537
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: not have to worry about dealing with egos and quarterbacks

538
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: and everything else. And hey, I kind of like this

539
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: for a little bit here. Remember John Gruden was the

540
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: same way, right, He's only gonna be there for a year,

541
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: John Grut year after year head coach, head coach. Because

542
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, I'm sure has an idea of what he

543
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: wants his next job to be, but you're not guaranteed

544
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: that job is going to open up. Maybe he wants

545
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: the next job to be forty nine Ers head coach.

546
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: Well guess what, that's what opened up anytime soon. Maybe

547
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: he wants to go be the head coach of the Patriots.

548
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: Well that's it opened up. I'm just throwing this out

549
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: there that every year you are, you are beholden to

550
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 3: the jobs that are open. And Tomlin may have an idea.

551
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he's walking away from saying I'm done coaching.

552
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: But as time goes on and your life gets a

553
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 3: little cushier in the studio, guys who retire young, hey,

554
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: I kind like this. The job I really want never

555
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 3: opened up for me, So yeah, I am more than

556
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: happy doing this. We've seen it so many times with guys, right,

557
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: we said, anybody go into the booth becoming a big person. Hey,

558
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: guess what, I kind of like this, and I'm staying

559
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure right now Tomlin has the idea of I'm

560
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: gonna take some time away. I'm not gonna rush back

561
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: into it. I want my want to pick my own situation.

562
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: I'll do TV. But he's gonna do TV. He's gonna

563
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: love it. He's gonna see that.

564
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: You know, like as Jay Glazer, you're involved in every

565
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: face of the league and you're talking to coaches and

566
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: players and everything else, and boy, this is fun. I

567
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: have to worry about a weekly test that could wind

568
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: up seeing me get hired, fired, whatever it's going to be,

569
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: because he knows wherever he goes, he's not gonna have

570
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: the same cachet that he had with the Steelers for

571
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 3: nineteen years. They keep coaches, right, We talked about this,

572
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: So what if Mike Tomlin has done What if we've

573
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: seen him for the last time and he starts to

574
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: really enjoy that other life and maybe he's like Bill

575
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: Kauer and we just don't see him on the side.

576
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: So I've wondered all along, right, nineteen years here a

577
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: lot of speculation in the whether he was tiring of

578
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: hearing the fire Mike Tomlin. Chance, you got three or

579
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: four years of that, the silliness that we have in

580
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: pervasiveness fan bases and media, and the clamoring for it.

581
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: When it comes down to the way that job went.

582
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: They never bottomed out, whether that was his choice, whether

583
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: that was an organizational thing. You never got a full reset.

584
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: And you and I were talking about it and talking

585
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: with Ben a little last night, like you go through

586
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: all these years of those rosters, weren't very good years,

587
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: and yet they were still scrauted. How many times did

588
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: you come into the year going, this is the year

589
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: that it's gonna end, right, the street's gonna end, and

590
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: then lo and behold, there they were at the end,

591
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: either fighting for a playoff spot or at least doing

592
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: the plus five hundred. There's very few organizations that you

593
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: look at to where you have stability, not just the hey,

594
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: you can have a couple of down years not get fired,

595
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: but just in general that it's not always you know,

596
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: ratcheted up to this defcon level of chaos in the

597
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: local media, in the newspapers, fan bases where everything is

598
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: angsty right, it's constant. You know. The Kansas City's one

599
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: place that might have stability. San Francisco eventually maybe right.

600
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Every once in a while there's some whispers with Shanahan,

601
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: but now that they've won, in spite of all the

602
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: walking wounded, that probably gets kicked down the curve for

603
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: a while. But there's just very few organizations where you

604
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: point to stability. He had one of those. So if

605
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: legitimately it's one hundred percent he walked away of his

606
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: own accord, he might be walking the earth like Cana

607
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: and Kung Fu show up with Jay Glazer, Remember Jimmy

608
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Johnson did that yep, right, And then all of a

609
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: sudden he had his yacht. He loved going fishing, yep.

610
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: And then he'd come back and he'd fly in and

611
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: he'd be down at the avenue of the America's. You'd

612
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: run into him at the hotel there, and he'd talked

613
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: about how great it was because he'd come in, he'd

614
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: go to work with the guys, with his family, as

615
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,000

00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: the last of us. Joel young Blood at the top

733
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: of the charts this year in rock and roll. My

734
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 1: people about the last of us? That's been a minute.

735
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 3: What I got Well, I just come on, man, people,

736
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: I just said Joel young Blood. People have no idea

737
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: who that, although he does know he does have a record.

738
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: He has a record. Only guy with two hits on

739
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: one day for the same team. That's good. The Mets

740
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 1: trade into the Expos. He played in the day game,

741
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: got a hit, got to the ballpark enough time to

742
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: get into the game with the Expos, and got to

743
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: hit that night. He's the only player to have a

744
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: hit in two except for two teams in one day.

745
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: Second time, we can get the Expos into a larger

746
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: discussion in the last week because you saw they trolled

747
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: the about their trademarks.

748
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: And I got explain to the milleniums who the Montreal

749
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: expos bore. Now it's really just it's it's just a cycle.

750
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: Uh. So we got Rick Buker coming up a little

751
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: over an hour from now, and and uh, I'm sure

752
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: one of the big conversation pieces with him is going

753
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: to circle. Uh will will circumvent the situation, the trade

754
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: situation that's going on right now with John Morant, who

755
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: has been put on the trade block by the Grizzlies.

756
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: They are looking for fielding offers for him. And as

757
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: he said today when he was asked about the trade rumors,

758
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: John Moran said, I just got to live with it.

759
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: Now they're hoping he's gonna play in the big international

760
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: trip coming up. It's unsure. Uh, but John Morant potentially

761
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: is on the trade block. And when I saw today

762
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: in the reports, hey, numerous teams have reached out about

763
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: John Moran. Have they really like, are you doing work?

764
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: Are you helping out the Grizzlies or agents? Have teams

765
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: really reached out for John Moran?

766
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: Because Rick Bucker joined us last week and said there

767
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: are crickets yeah, for John Moran. There's no you talk

768
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: about because we talked Trey Young. Trade was last week.

769
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: There was limited interest in Trey Young. There are crickets

770
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: for John Moran.

771
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he dropped that in the middle of talking about Young, right,

772
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's it, crickets for him. And yeah,

773
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: because you know what, I can't trade for John Morant.

774
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got he's under contracts the next couple

775
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: of years. Okay, that's fine, But this is a guy

776
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: that has proven over the course of his career that

777
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: he just doesn't get it right. Like he's he's a

778
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: live wire who continues to make bad decisions. And now

779
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: it's a tough time staying healthy. Right, how many chances

780
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: warnings was he given? Dude, don't you know you got

781
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: all stuff going on with guns and fights and suspensions

782
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: and multiple suspensions. Show everybody that you get it, and

783
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: he never has. Don't make the machine gun motion after

784
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: hoop because the NBA doesn't like that. What did he

785
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: do the next day?

786
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: I made the machine gun Like, he doesn't get it.

787
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: And so I'm not gonna give up. I don't care

788
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: how talented he is. I'm not going to give up

789
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: anything for him because I don't know how long he's

790
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: going to be in the league. If I said to

791
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: you right now, is he gonna be in the league

792
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: when he's thirty years old, I don't know that I

793
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 3: would take that bet. If you said, over under thirty

794
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: years old, is John Moran still in the NBA?

795
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: I would say yeah.

796
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: I don't know, because the guy has proven time and

797
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 3: again to show that he doesn't get it. And now

798
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: when you compound that with hisj with his injury situation,

799
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: Now are you gonna go You're gonna be the one

800
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: that goes and gets the best John Morant? I don't

801
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: think so. I don't know any team that is calling saying, yeah,

802
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 3: we'd love to go crazy for John Morant. I don't

803
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 3: know any team that's saying.

804
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: That, Yeah. You look at a guy who's still owed

805
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: well in excess of one hundred million dollars over the

806
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: next several years. His scoring average has gone down four

807
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: straight seasons. This year, he is shooting forty percent, down

808
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: six percent from his career average six percent. And it's

809
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: not like he's a chucker. This is a guy that

810
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: usually works around the rim. So the fact that he's

811
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: shooting forty percent is a whole other problem. He's played

812
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: in eighteen games of their thirty nine. Just keep checking boxes.

813
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: There's video of him beefing with teammates time and time

814
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: again in practices, on the sidelines, in the Hoddel you

815
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: name it. All of those things. Add the history that

816
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: he's got with the league and how many strikes, what's

817
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: the next issue that that will emerge? Uh, Look, you

818
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: hope he gets it right, and you hope he has

819
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: himself right on the larger scale, but certainly on the

820
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: micro side, being a good teammate, being available. This slight

821
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: body frame has always been something even when he was

822
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: entering the league, whether he'd fill out, add more more weight,

823
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: or when he was doing his high flying you know,

824
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: one hit here or there and suddenly he's out for

825
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: an extended period of time. We've seen that repeatedly. Right,

826
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: he goes down to the court. And I mentioned Anthony

827
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: Davis when you were teasing, uh, you know about guys,

828
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: because we talked about him. I mean there's images of him.

829
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: People have photo photoshopped him into bubble wrap as he's

830
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: on the court. But I like the one where Anthony

831
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: Davis has debuted his new shoe and it's and it's

832
00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: a walking boot. Yeah right, get his a head on

833
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: there and his signature in the whole night yards. But

834
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: we always talk about assets and money can always be work.

835
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? How much could this

836
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: help push you forward? It can't. They're not winning with him.

837
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: There and I had zero interest in it. Would you

838
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 3: take the entire package of him again? I'll believe he's

839
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 3: there's interest when he's actually traded. I'll believe there's interest

840
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: when the.

841
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: Great talent on the grand scheme. But no coming up next?

842
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: If you thought Jahn Morant was a big deal, how

843
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: about what's been going on with Lebron James, the Lakers,

844
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: Rich Paul and Austin Reeves. Oh is that a doozy?

845
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: That's next? Actually, it's like I keep going there, tough shower, sure,

846
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: and then you get ready for the knockout blow in

847
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: the final round? Is that what you're doing? Uh? Now?

848
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: If you thought the Ja Morant stuff was fun, well,

849
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: the drama with Lebron James the last twenty four hours

850
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: has been It's been even for Lebron, it's been over

851
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: the top. And that's saying something right for Lebron, who

852
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: loves controversy, loves it being about him. All that this

853
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: is even over the top. Now, this manifests itself from

854
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: a podcast that Rich Paul did a few days ago

855
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: talking about what the Lakers should do with the trade

856
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: deadline and what Rich Paul again, clutch sports Lebron's agent,

857
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: it's synonymous with Lebron James. Rich Paul's idea was to hey,

858
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: Lakers got to make a big trade at the deadline.

859
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: How about if it's Scottie Pippen, how about if they

860
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: trade the new number two guy? What if they trade

861
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves.

862
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 6: First of all, if you watch the show, this was

863
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 6: a hypothetical conversation we were having if I was running

864
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 6: a team, not this is what's gonna happen, et cetera. Secondly,

865
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 6: I believe it's very complementary two Ar because he's on

866
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 6: a team with two future.

867
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Halls and he happens to be the asset. Right. Here's

868
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: what I will say, and this is complimentary to Ar.

869
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 6: If you were sitting here and you said, Rich, you

870
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 6: take this one, I'll take that one. I'm not saying

871
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 6: an equal players, but what I am saying is, however

872
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 6: you want me to start to then build the rest

873
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 6: of my team.

874
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm fine either way with Luca or Austin.

875
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 6: I can build a team either way. Now we're talking

876
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 6: about hypotheticals. This does not mean you want somebody to

877
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 6: be traded. And there's some insider information in the locker room.

878
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 6: And this is not a Lebron thing.

879
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, of course not. You know, here's the thing.

880
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: If I thought this was his first day doing a

881
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 3: podcast or talking about something or running clutch sports, I

882
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: would tell okay, But no, he knows what he's saying.

883
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: And Lebron did no favors when he was asked about

884
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 3: this last night following the Lakers game by saying, Hey, Rich,

885
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: Paul's his own guy. That's his own opinion. I love ar.

886
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: He knows how I feel about him. Uh, this is

887
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: such an absolute mess. I almost feel like Lebron is

888
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 3: now sabotaging the Lakers. Like seriously, I mean I'm not

889
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 3: saying like like I feel like he's sabotaged. How do

890
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 3: I get back at the Lakers for making me go

891
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 3: through this miserable season where I'm the third option and

892
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: they can't wait to get me out?

893
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: What do I do?

894
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

895
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: I know my agent's gonna go out there and the

896
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: guy running the agency that I'm he's gonna say they

897
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: should trade that guy that's keeping me from being Luca's

898
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: buddy and going forward and having this great status with

899
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: the team. They want to push me out because everybody

900
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: loves it. Austin Reeves is the number two guy with

901
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: with Luka Doncic. Everybody knows what they're saying. Rich Paul

902
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: knows what he's saying. Lebron James knows what he's saying

903
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: when he says, what do you want me to say?

904
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: He's his own guy, right. This is Lebron again, and

905
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: part of he's done this throughout his career, choosing his

906
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: friends and his business partner over his teammate. Right. Because

907
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't care if you hate the media and you

908
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: think the met is doing something to you, your teammates

909
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: need you to talk about this publicly and say, hey,

910
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what Rich is saying. I love Austin Reeves,

911
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: We're going for a championship. We're great right where you

912
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you believe behind closed doors is one thing, But

913
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: publicly you say, hey, I don't want my guy traded.

914
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, you call Rich Paul Gore. Dude, you

915
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 3: can't do that, man, You can't say that. You know

916
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 3: that's gonna come back and blow back on me. The

917
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: only reason that said is if Lebron's God his blessing, it,

918
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: it's got Lebron's blessing. It's okay that he said that

919
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 3: because Lebron wants to sabotage the Lakers. I mean it,

920
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 3: because why else would you have that go out there

921
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 3: at a time when things aren't going great. You've kind

922
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: of hit the skids after a strong start. Why are

923
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: you doing that, right, Lebron? Really, I don't know.

924
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: If Lebron wants to try to find a way to

925
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: get traded, he wants to try to find a way

926
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: off the Lakers. He's just mad the Lakers to do it,

927
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: but I feel like he's sabotaging them with this. What

928
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: would happen if Austin Reeves said, hey, you know what,

929
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing a podcast, Yeah, maybe we should trade Lebron? Like,

930
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: what would happen? What happened if that? If that happened?

931
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: What if his agent went on and say, you know what,

932
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: what if you know, you know, hypothetically, just hypothetically, you know,

933
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: since you know what if we traded Lebron to Cleveland

934
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: and we got what, like, how do you think that

935
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: would go? Man? First off, it would be great to

936
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: watch all the national media sycophants I could come to

937
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: his defense. How dare you talk about trading Lebron? Lebron

938
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: James is mad that he's currently in Lebron spot on

939
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: the metal stand. Uh, you know how much I love

940
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: the movie. The other guys Uh huh Right, I'm a

941
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: peacock captain. You gotta let me fly, don't go chase

942
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: in water. For all sorts of quotes, the best was

943
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: from Samuel Jackson where he says, I'm gonna take my

944
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: fist dot dot dot and I'm gonna work him off

945
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: like a puppet. That's kind of what we got here.

946
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: Lebron James, no matter how much he does protest that

947
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: he's not part of this, This is like going back

948
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: to when Luca got traded there and they tried to

949
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: sell the whole thing. If Lebron had no knowledge this

950
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: was gonna go down, nobody bought that then. Okay, some

951
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: of those that want to just take everything that Lebron

952
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: says and does as gospel and the greatest because They

953
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: don't want to lose access, right, They don't want to

954
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: be seen as the the against the foes of the

955
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: Lebron James hype experience. But you know from the twenty

956
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: three patch, that's fine, that's a deal with tops and fanatics.

957
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: Folks just have to get over that forty six games.

958
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna wear this patch about his career. But this

959
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: whole thing, right, the agent's actually got together, right Rich

960
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: Paul and Austin Reeves agent for a couple of minutes,

961
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: and they were seen having a bit of an animated discussion,

962
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: so they clearly did not take it as a he's

963
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: his own man on a podcast, just throwing out hypotheticals. No,

964
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: nobody buys that for a second, that it's not a

965
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: calculated ploy to. I don't know if they're trying to

966
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: get JJ reddicks the head to explode like he's in Scanners.

967
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: There you go, eighties movie, Go watch that horror movie.

968
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: That's a great one. Uh start look at him twitch.

969
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's trying to help you. Maybe you're the

970
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: Svengali of it all, because it gets JJ Reddick to

971
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: not hate you for a minute. I mean, really, JJ,

972
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: on the least of your problems. Man, you guys got

973
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: you gotta start. This is I mean, really it is.

974
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: It's like sabotage. I mean, it's okay again. And I

975
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: told you would be awkward because Lebron is not gonna

976
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: be happy playing this whole season as the third week.

977
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: He chose it, right, But it doesn't matter. He's not good.

978
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 3: This is the reality. He still chose it. He doesn't care.

979
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: He's not gonna go back and go well, I chose

980
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 3: I gotta keep my mouth shut. No, he wants everything,

981
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 3: folks that he wants all of it right, But Lebron

982
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: doesn't care. He has remember, and now what do I do.

983
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 3: We said it was gonna be awkward. We said it

984
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 3: was gonna be really, it was gonna be difficult. I

985
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 3: don't know how Lebron finishes the season on the Lakers.

986
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how this happens. But this is I

987
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: mean the Lakers. We've already heard how upset they are. Yeah,

988
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 3: they should be pissed that the agent of a guy

989
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,959
Speaker 3: that you know doesn't say anything or have things said

990
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 3: unless it's been at And the fact that Lebron didn't

991
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 3: say whoa.

992
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa. This is not right, This is not true.

993
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: He needed to be stronger standing up to do that publicly,

994
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: and he didn't. Right this, I mean really, I mean

995
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: I feel like it's we want to push the guy

996
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: out that's taking his taking his spots as the other

997
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: guy with Luca. I can be okay being Luca's other guy.

998
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But now that I'm the third

999
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: guy and as I've come back, it's not my team

1000
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: and I'm not it's not nearly close to me and

1001
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: people can't wait for me to go. How do I

1002
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: grease the skids on this? Right?

1003
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: I feel like now he's moving, he's trying to find

1004
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 3: a way to get traded at the deadline.

1005
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: How where? Because now now, how tenable is it for

1006
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: Lebron to stay on this team and play with Austin

1007
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: Reeves when his agency I would trade him.

1008
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 3: I don't care, it doesn't matter. Oh, this is in

1009
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: some sort of you know, in an absolute world. It's

1010
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: not not what I would do. No, you know what

1011
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 3: you're doing when you say trade Austin reed you know

1012
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: exactly what you're doing and what you're trying to get out.

1013
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: And the babe of the woods thing doesn't work. You've

1014
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: been around for twenty three years. You've been the business

1015
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: partner in and a mouthpiece all these years, and just right,

1016
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: you put it out there, if this is what I

1017
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: would do.

1018
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 5: Well.

1019
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, I think we all believed

1020
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: and I think we were right and assuming so that

1021
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: Lebron James was in charge of everything and Clutch Sports

1022
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: ran the operation, Rob Polinka and everybody there. There were

1023
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: empty suits. And now the power has shifted with Luka

1024
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: Donchetz coming to town and it's a new world order.

1025
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 1: You got a new ownership group, you got a new

1026
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: everything that has come in to run this organization into

1027
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: the next phase, which means Lebron James, you're there. You

1028
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: still put asses in seats, you still drive ticket sales,

1029
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: but beyond that, you're a jag. Right, you're number three,

1030
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: number four on some nights, you don't play defense. And

1031
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: then everybody immediately shifted from this conversation, right, it got

1032
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: a very small, compartmentalized thing in his time, because it

1033
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: immediately became a let's talk about how great you were

1034
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: against the Hawks. I mean, look against the Hawks. If

1035
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: Lebron James stays on the team past the deadline, the

1036
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 1: Lakers season will spiral, right, it's already starting to spire

1037
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: a little bit now because they had no problems. Now

1038
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: Lebron jameson back for two or three weeks. Guess guess

1039
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: what they got problems? Right, they got problems. They were

1040
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: winning lots of games against good teams because the Lakers

1041
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: had had their team. This is how we want to

1042
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: play with lucas our number one. Also reasons are Scottie Pippen,

1043
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: everybody else fit into their role like that. Everything was awesome.

1044
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: Now Lebron came back. He's still getting his but now

1045
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers are hit the Skins. If they hold on

1046
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: to him past the deadline, this season is going to

1047
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: spiral and fall apart. It's almost like he's there again.

1048
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: He was daring them to trade him in the offseason,

1049
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: daring them for different things. I don't see how the

1050
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: Lakers can hold on to him past the deadline. Well,

1051
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:46,959
Speaker 1: we cannot find a way to.

1052
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 3: Move on and just get whatever you even if it's

1053
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 3: just salary cap relief. At this point, let's find something

1054
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: and make a different trade to bring in whatever you

1055
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 3: feel you need to build around Luca. But I don't

1056
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 3: know how he stays on the team after this.

1057
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: Because the other piece that has to be just said,

1058
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: those that haven't watched the Lakers up and down. You

1059
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen Austin Reeves since Christmas, right, so he's not

1060
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: there and you're having these issues, and eventually when he

1061
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: gets reintegrated, guess what Lebron's shots, the standing around, the

1062
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: getting him subbed out in minutes, because you can't have

1063
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: two defensive liabilities of that magnitude on the court. Right

1064
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: when you talk about Luca, who, let's face it, oftentimes

1065
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't even look like he's pretending to play defense,

1066
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: and Lebron doesn't come back on defense on a number

1067
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: of possessions. So all of that just begets bigger and

1068
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: bigger problems, particularly as you get closer to the end

1069
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: of the regular season you start playing those meaningful games,

1070
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: whether it's proceeding to avoid the play in to be

1071
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture at the end of it all.

1072
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: And they're in good spot now, but it's still a

1073
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: long season, right, You still got to navigate injuries like

1074
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: Luca getting extra treatment, question night to night of what's

1075
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: going on with his squad, Lebron and whether you got

1076
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: to manage it one year. One day he was telling

1077
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: you how old he was, uh, and he wasn't gonna

1078
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,280
Speaker 1: play the back to back and then he's he's pumping

1079
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: his fist and losing his mind against Atlanta yesterday. So

1080
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: day to day you're trying to navigate that. And now

1081
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 1: Rich Paul throws this out there. Hey, when this guy

1082
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,240

1085
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: even surprised me for Lebron, that he would get to

1086
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: this point where that Rich Paul throws it out there

1087
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: and Lebron doesn't really pour cold water on it. She's like, well,
