1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: What is up, party, people, it's your boy, Jason McIntyre

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: here Fox Sports Radio. A lovely Saturday morning in Los Angeles.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: I had a banner week. I'll tell you about it

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: in a second. We have a decent sports weekend. As

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: there is a lot of chatter a lot. It's not

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: confirmed yet. Lebron and Anthony Davis could return tonight against

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: the Nets. There's chatter about it. We'll see. Lebron has

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: been pumping up some stuff on Instagram. I'm sure we'll

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: get to that later in the show. I want to

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: wish everybody a happy spring break. We had spring break

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: this week out here in Los Angeles, so you know,

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: if you guys follow me on the Graham, you know

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: we took the kids to uh, you know, out of

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: the desert for a few days to get some R

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: and R from Zoom Learning and all that fun stuff.

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I got a good desert story coming up for you.

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: But shout out to the Padres. How about last night? Now,

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: we rarely opened the show with baseball. Before I get

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: to the biggest story in sports today, I need to

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: give the Padres a shout out. You guys saw me um.

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm a big Padres fan. No, not really. I can't

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: fake the funk. I have a cool Padres throwback hat

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: and they had a no hitter last night. Let's start

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: the show with sound from the Padres. First no hitter

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise. Balls on the big

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: right hand, a ready and deliberous swing at a grand ball.

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: The short stop Kim hasard friendly hawk quota first. That

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: is a no hitter, and that is history too. Must

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: grow with the first no hitter in Padre history April

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: nine one at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: kid comes home and it gets it done. Shout out

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: to the Padres. I will say, I love the throwbacks

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: they're wearing. Gavin. I know you're an Anaheim guy, but

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Gavin instantly texted me last night, you gotta wear the

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Padres hat to the studio. Oh, yes, yes I do.

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: And um that Padres throwback The units are great. Um.

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: I find baseball to be the easiest sport to be

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: happy for another fan base. Yes, it's just not. It's

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: not like the NFL. We're like, oh, I want them

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: to be miserable because we had that quarterback or whatever,

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, no, definitely, uh And but I did

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: text Daniel Jeremiah, friend of the show NFL Network Superstar,

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: Hey man, I know you're a big Padres fan. Congratulations

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: He's he was like through the moon, he's a big

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Padres guy. All right, let's move on quickly to the NBA.

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: And you know, Kevin Durant takes a lot of heat

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: for stuff that he says, stuff that he does. I'm

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: not getting to the Michael Rappaport nonsense on social media.

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: But this week Kevin Durant and Draymond Green collaborated on

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a podcast, and they love to go after the media

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: and they were kind of making fun of the media

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: for how it was reported on why and how and

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: when Durant left Okay c to join the Warriors. And

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I talked about this on Straight Fire and it actually

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: got a great response. People were very positive. Now you

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: put it on Twitter and people get very ne dven.

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: They love bashing KD on there. But Kevin Durant and

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: and Draymond Green talked about the recruitment of when it

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: happened and what the final straw was, and of course

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: the final straw was Game seven where Lebron comes back

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: from the three one deficit to beat the seventy three

62
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: win Warriors. Now, the recruitment started back in like late January,

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: early February, and Woade, who was then at Yahoo Sports,

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: had the first report like, hey, Kevin Durant and the Warriors,

65
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: don't rule it out. And a lot of people pooh

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: pooed it, and they were like, come on, Kevin Durant, Jordan,

67
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: the Warriors, get the heck out of here. No shot.

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: You guys know woad I worked with him twenty years ago.

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: He's come on this show. Will just one of the

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: best reporters any sport in America. Okay, So when he

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: puts stuff out there, there's some credibility behind it, and

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: people still didn't want to believe that Kevin Durant could leave. Okay,

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: see for the Warriors. Well do we have the audio right, Gavin. Okay,

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: here's Draymond Green and Kevin Durant talking about when it

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: went down. It was this whole narrative of like you

76
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: called Kevin, you called Kevin crying from the parking lot.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, this like y'all added a theatrical sense

78
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: to make this movie, like you gotta make make even

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: you gotta add on them. So like people just started

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: pouring on Bro, but I wasn't about to come out

81
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: and fighting. Like at the end of the day, However,

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: y'all think Kevin got here? Your mind road what you do?

83
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: And also, okay this one, okay, see fans, they thought

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: me and Dre was hanging out literally like chilling with

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: each other doing the conference finals. And when I heard that,

86
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: I was like, look who y'all think I am? Who

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: you think? Do you think Draymond would hang out with

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: me during the conference finals like over my house? Like

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: come on stop exactly. I gotta say I'm a big

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant fan, and not just because we had a

91
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know several months Instagram dm bromance back when

92
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: he was with the Warriors and UM won the first

93
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: title in UH in Golden State. And listen, people have

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: beaten up Durant for years for leaving Okayseye for Golden State,

95
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: and again, history will be kind to Durant, Okay, because

96
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: we all forget. Kareem abdul Jabbar with the Milwaukee Bucks

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: says I'm out of here. I don't want to play

98
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: for this franchise. I don't like the city. I want

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: to go home to a more cosmopolitan Los Angeles. Now

100
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: this was in like the late sixties, early seventies, and

101
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: Jabbar forced his way out of Milwaukee and got to

102
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Okay, Kevin Durant forced his way out of

103
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: Okasey said, guys, we had a good run. I'm out

104
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: of here. Left via free agency in twenty five years.

105
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna say remember how Kevin Durant lost Game seven,

106
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: you know, okay, seaver stories and then left to go

107
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: play for the Warriors. Who would want seventy Nobody's gonna

108
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: say that. It's just gonna be like, oh, Kevin Durant,

109
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: incredible player, left in free agency one chips, then left

110
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: again in free agency to go to Brooklyn, probably gonna

111
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: win some more chips. That's how history will remember him.

112
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: They're not gonna remember all this social media nonsense and

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant getting in a in a I don't think

114
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: I could say that ticking off contest with Michael Rappaport, Like,

115
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna remember that that that stuff is irrelevant in

116
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. And and I go back

117
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: to something somebody really smart said, Kevin Durant was an

118
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: awesome high school talent, ended up at the University of

119
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: Texas and you could see that he was going to

120
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: be a star. And I it this quote that the

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: things that got you here won't get you where you're going.

122
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: What got Kevin Durant to be the m v P

123
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: of the league and incredible and okay, see, he never

124
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: could make that leap the next step. Now, a lot

125
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: of it has to do with, okay, see getting rid

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: of James Harden, which will go down. I would listen,

127
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: we can go through the history books of the dumbest

128
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: trades of stars, and I would love to say it

129
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: was stupid of the Timberwolves to give up on Zach Lavine,

130
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: who dropped a fifty burger last night. He had straight

131
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: points at one at one point for the Bulls. Now,

132
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: they ended up losing because the rest of the teams

133
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: largely garbage. But when you look at teams giving up

134
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: on stars, okay, see giving up on James Harden one

135
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: of the what has to be one of the worst

136
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: moves ever. And I'm not talking about star who demanded out.

137
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: That's different from a team saying, hey, we're gonna trade

138
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: this guy. Like they got to the finals with Harden,

139
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Durant, and then they trade Harden and you

140
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: shout did Kevin Durant with that? Ultimately, that's one of

141
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: the reasons he left. Do you think if they keep

142
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: hardon that Kevin Durant leaves, they probably win a title

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: with those three. But the things that got Kevin Durant

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: two one of the top players in the league, like, ultimately,

145
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: it didn't get him the title. He had to leave

146
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: to go to Golden State to get into better system. Remember,

147
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Curry and Westbrook are totally different players. Westbrook is I

148
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: gotta get mine I gotta get my stats. I gotta

149
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: take a million shots. That was not Curry in Golden

150
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: State two time m v P was, hey man, we're

151
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: in this great system. Selfish One night, I might get

152
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: forty five. The next night Clay might get forty five.

153
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: The next night it might be you. I'm cool only

154
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: getting my shots. That just wasn't in Westbrook's DNA. So

155
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: Durant ultimately had to leave. Okay, see, and again he

156
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: was just drafted there. You don't have to there's nothing

157
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: in the history books that say you were drafted by

158
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: this team, you must stay there. No, that's just not

159
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: how it works. Just because Larry Bird was drafted to

160
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Boston him greatest franchise ever, Magic was drafted to the Lakers,

161
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: second greatest franchise. Georgia was drafted to the Bulls, great city,

162
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, got whatever he wanted. Like, that's not how

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: it works. Like we need to leave Kevin Durant alone.

164
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: I know, I sound like I'm defending him the way

165
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: that the Britney Spears defenders are out defending her. Like

166
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Durant was fine leaving the way he left. It wasn't

167
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: on bad blood with Okay. See, yeah, they were upset

168
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: that he left and left them, but he went to

169
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: a better situation. One two titles, one two finals, MVPs

170
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: come on, made him a better player, put him in

171
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: the history. But was Kevin Durant's gonna go down? Guys

172
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: probably is a top ten all time player now right now,

173
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: they're their favorites to win the championship. And a guy

174
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: hit me on Twitter this week and said, hey, you

175
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: know what happens if the Nets beat the Lakers for

176
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: the title head to head, Kevin Durant will have three

177
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: against Lebron. And I thought about it for a second,

178
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, So Lebron was favored Heat versus

179
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: the Okay Seat thunder Lebron one, the Warriors were favored

180
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: against the Calves. Durant One Warriors are favored Durant One

181
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: Nets are currently the favorites to win the title. They

182
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: win the title they were supposed to like, I don't

183
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: think it losing a championship getting to the finals again

184
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: is somehow gonna hurt Lebron. Have you guys looked at

185
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. I'm trying to sell gathered on on

186
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: an entire segment around who the hell is coming out

187
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: of the West, because right now, I don't know how

188
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: much regular season NBA you guys are watching. The Denver

189
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Nuggets have peeled off Eighth Street. They have not lost

190
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: since getting Aaron Gordon. Michael Porter Jr. Is like their

191
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: fourth best player, and he can give you twenty and

192
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: thirty on any night. I'm telling you right now, the

193
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets are the best team in the West. They are,

194
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: that's undeniable. The Phoenix Suns are very good, Utah Jads

195
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: are very good. Lebron and a d healthy, there's gonna

196
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: be a problem. We know that. I didn't even mention

197
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I haven't even got to Damian Lillard, who

198
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: probably he's gonna finish top three m v P and

199
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: the NBA MVPs that old another discussion given the injuries

200
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: to Hardens now out for probably another week. Um, Lebron

201
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: is still out and beat missed a ton of time.

202
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: Like Yo Kich first, Damian Lillard for the m v

203
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: P is he's still in the mix. Like the West

204
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: is so loaded. Merely getting to the finals for Lebron

205
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: will be a massive accomplishment giving the injuries in his

206
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: eight So like the NBA is getting super interesting and

207
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: Kevin Durants back, he had a pretty good debut. Him

208
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Harden and Kyrie still have him played a ton together

209
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: and I'm listen, I'm not buying this embad stuff. Last

210
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: night the Healthy Sixers, they lost to New Orleans, which

211
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: is a joke, and my guy Jayson Tatum went for

212
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: fifty three. Like it's a good sports weekend. I haven't

213
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: even mentioned the Masters in full swing, and I don't

214
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: know where Gavin is that we could talk during the break, Gavin,

215
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: but this Tiger would situation a little odd. I don't

216
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: want to go overboard again. You guys. Know, I've been

217
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: very cautious with the Deshaun Watson stuff. I heard something

218
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: this week about the Deshaun watch and stuff that I'm

219
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: absolutely not comfortable talking about the topic right now. Um.

220
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: But this Tiger Woods car crash, um, somebody had a theory.

221
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm reluctant to get into it, but there could be something.

222
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Tiger. I hope

223
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: he gets okay Master's leaderboard. I haven't watched much of it.

224
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I was honestly distraught yesterday. Now that's distraught's a little harsh,

225
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: But I do want to say, maybe Chris, we could

226
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: get some d MX bumper music, you know this morning

227
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: because DMX passing. I don't know about you, guys, I

228
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: don't know what are our audience. The range is like

229
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: nineteen to like. This show is in so many markets

230
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: on Saturday mornings and d m X the passing last

231
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: weekend on the show, I guess he was starting to

232
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: fall ill in the hospital and we got a little

233
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: sad and his death and I think fifty, like he's young, guys,

234
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: fifty is young. Obviously had a hard life, went through

235
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: a lot, but some of his music man when I

236
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: was a young guy out of college living in and

237
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: around New York City. Every weekend night that we would

238
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: go out, d MX was on the pregame playlist. Like

239
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: the energy his music brings, and yeah, there's an angry,

240
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: aggressive nature to it, and I like to think I

241
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: can be aggressive and play angry basketball, but like as

242
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: a human, I'm not particularly angry. Like life is good,

243
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: let's enjoy it. Um. But something about d m x

244
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: is music just hit me at the time when it

245
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: was very impressionable, and so many of his songs really

246
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: are awesome, and I saw an outpouring and support on

247
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: social media. So I just want to give a quick

248
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: shout out two um to d m X as we

249
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,240

Speaker 1: limitations apply all right, before I get to the NFL

271
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: Draft quick word. So you know, there's been like no

272
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: traffic in Los Angeles for a year because of the pandemic.

273
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: So it was spring break. We went out to the

274
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: desert and as I'm getting ready to come back, I

275
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: look at the map and there's this huge red traffic

276
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: stopped on the map. But I'm like, oh my gosh,

277
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: come on. So I text a buddy who had left

278
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, that's brutal. We're just sitting in

279
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: a car baking on the highway. Fire Up Ways. I

280
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: know you guys know about weights. I haven't used Ways

281
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: in a year, so it was one of those where

282
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: you pressed the app and then it's like, oh, we

283
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: have to read download it because you haven't used it

284
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: in so long. You know, you're like offload the apps

285
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: or whatever to save space on your phone. Fire up

286
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Ways saved me forty five minutes, and I was like,

287
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: thank you. And you could tell a lot of other

288
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: people were using Weights because it's like going through neighborhoods

289
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: and like adjacent to the highway and you're trying to

290
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: go through all these shortcuts. It was incredible, So shout

291
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: out to Ways. Thank you. Um I had this feeling

292
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna start getting a little more back to normal

293
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: Gavin out here in California. Absolutely. I mean you could

294
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: just sense it, like you know, we're we're at this resort,

295
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: and um, we ran into a bunch of people we

296
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: knew from our town and like I actually was shaking

297
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: hands with people again because everybody's been vaccinated or at

298
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: least all the all the people we know, and you

299
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: know you're outside you feel you start to feel good.

300
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: We did have dinner only outdoors, still have it. Didn't

301
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in yours. But like one

302
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: final quick note that nobody cares about. On spring break,

303
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: you're eating unhealthy, you're doing three meals a day. You know,

304
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: he's sitting around. I took the stairs. We're on the

305
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: fifth floor. I took the stairs every single time up

306
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: and down, except when we were bringing our bags and

307
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: leaving with our bags. And it felt good. That was

308
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: like my exercise. I would bang out a couple of

309
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: push ups and set ups in the room. My wife

310
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: thinks it's very losory. But you guys are all vaccinated. Yes, yes,

311
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: we we got the vaccine, and uh, you know, I

312
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: just I like that everybody's getting vaccinated and you're starting

313
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable. Um, it's feeling good. Um, all right,

314
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: So let's get to the NFL Draft because just this

315
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: madness is starting to happen. And I'll go big picture

316
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: real quick. A lot of credible people in sports media

317
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: are saying Mac Jones is going to the Niners at

318
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: three and before your head is done exploding, just please

319
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: consider this. In December, Okay, Matt Jones was considered a

320
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: fringe first round prospect. He's all right, you know, I

321
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: think guy's got seven team starts. Okay, and they're in

322
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years, there's only been four quarterbacks

323
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: draft in the first round to have had fewer than

324
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: eighteen college starts. Remember Bill Parcels with the Guy You Need.

325
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: I think thirty was the number. He said, thirty meaning

326
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: a little over two years of college starts. Four guys

327
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: first round, last twenty five years under eighteen starts. Mitchell Drobiski, Okay,

328
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: he's already on his second team. I know he's had

329
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: two playoff appearances, but come on, Okay, No, Mark Sanchez

330
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: did get to two a f C title games with

331
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: my New York Jets. Okay, also never really did anything

332
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: or amounted too much in the league. Dwayne Skins, Okay, Washington,

333
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to get into it. I don't

334
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: know if you'll have twenty five starts in his NFL career.

335
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: And the last one is Kyler Murray, who I'm still

336
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: bullish on, ridiculous athlete. Tough to put him in the

337
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: class of the other three guys, but it's still early.

338
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: So that's the bucket that Matt Jones falls into and

339
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: December friends first round prospect. Okay, after what like late January,

340
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: you know he had the two good playoff games. Well,

341
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: he could go as high as fifteen to the Patriots,

342
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: you know the Nick Saban Belichick friendship. Maybe Mac Jones

343
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: goes fifteen. And now here we are early April, Matt

344
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: Jones is going third. And I said this on Cowherd

345
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Show yesterday, and I got a bunch of negative tweets

346
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: from people, because that's what you guys do. Matt Jones

347
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: had more All Americans on his offense then the Big

348
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: Ten and the Big twelve had combined. That's how stacked

349
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: Alabama was at wide receiver, on the offensive line, and

350
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: at running back. It just loaded. So his situation was

351
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: perfectly set up for succeed for success. Do you guys

352
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: remember A J. McCarron Alabama also great talent around him,

353
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: want a ton of games. He was always perceived as,

354
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: oh yeah, A J. Mccarrey could be a starter in

355
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: this league. He didn't go first round obviously, but he's

356
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: bounced around and what has he started maybe like four games?

357
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: Five games? Like career backup to a tongue went high.

358
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 1: A lot of people are still optimistic. I didn't see it.

359
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, at Alabama, Matt Jones is dropping back

360
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: and his first read is going to be open like

361
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: all the time. I mean, it's like Henry Ruggs, Jerry

362
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Judy Um Jaln Waddle, you know, like he Davante Smith,

363
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: like the Matt Jones. Uh, nobody's open. Let me just

364
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: find dump it off to naj Ris, who might be

365
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: a first round running back. And again I'm not saying

366
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: mac Jones is not talented. I just think this would

367
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: be a colossal with and I know Kyle Shannahan could

368
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: coach up anybody. And some people are comparing this to

369
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins versus r G three thing in Washington.

370
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: Remember Shanahan, his dad was the head coach. The owner

371
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: wanted r G three where they got him, and ultimately

372
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: Shanahan and his son who was on the staff, they

373
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: wanted Kirk Cousins, and Kirk Cousins ended up um doing

374
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: pretty well in Washington and getting paid and he's had

375
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: a much better career than r G three. And some

376
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: people are saying, well, Matt Jones's Kirk Cousins and Justin

377
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: Fields is r G three. Now that's a little bit

378
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: of a scary thought. I don't see that out of

379
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I don't r G three was like a

380
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: Johnny Come Lately at Baylor, big arm. Justin Fields We've

381
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: seen he was like an eleat recruit in high school.

382
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: It's a little troubling that he did not win the

383
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: starting job at Georgia, but he played some mop up

384
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: duty in the SEC. And of course, you know, we

385
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: we know what he did at Ohio State with the

386
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: ridiculous numbers. But then you say, oh, Haskins put up

387
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: great numbers at Ohio State. What good quarterback as os

388
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: you produced? Cardale Jones put up big numbers, you know, JT.

389
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: Barrett put up you know, like, I get that, but

390
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't put Fields in their class. Guys. How many

391
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: of those guys through six TVs against a team like Clemson.

392
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: Now this wasn't two years ago Clemson. This is a

393
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: water down Clemson defense. But I still think I've got

394
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: to go Justin Fields of three. I don't totally get

395
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: the mac Jones hype. Fox Sports Radio has the best

400
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: from the San Sasbury SO Sports Talk seven ninety in Houston.

401
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: You know him on Twitter at Sean Unfiltered. How are

402
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: you this morning, Buddy, Jason. I'm doing great, brother, Great

403
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: to be on with you as always. As I've told

404
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: you before, I love your work and keep it up,

405
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: and I'm honored to be on with you on a Saturday.

406
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: But thanks for taking the time. I wish we were

407
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: talking under better circumstances. Maybe we could talk about what

408
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: the Rockets are gonna do at the top of the draft.

409
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: Those are better circumstances either unless we get Sugs or

410
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Cutty Jam. You don't like Moably the big kid. Can

411
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: you imagine he's a that those three guys you can

412
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: depending on your needs that we've got three really good

413
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: ones at the top of the draft. So yeah, I'll

414
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: take any of them. But they're gonna struggle between now

415
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: and then, as we know, but there's a future to

416
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: be had. But yeah, circumstances in Houston, other than the

417
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: Astons aren't real good. Right now. Where are you on

418
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 1: the kid, Kevin Porter? I like, I think there's a chance.

419
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: I do. I think there's a chance. I'm big on obviously,

420
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: Christian Wood is they I think gonna be a star

421
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: in the league. I do you build around him? I

422
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: think we've seen that. Uh you know the draft fix

423
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: with Tate is he's a pretty good player. And I

424
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: you know that they've olytic. They they're they're starting to

425
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: do some things. They got all these assets. They're gonna

426
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: obviously maneuver to put themselves in a pictient position. They're

427
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: more than a year away. But Porter's shown flashes and

428
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: I think people like it. But the whole there, there

429
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: are pieces that are better than the full puzzle here.

430
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: But Stephen Silas isn't going anywhere. They're big fans of him.

431
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: I spent time with the GM talking him on the phone,

432
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: and I think they feel like they're building something. But

433
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: we gotta have patients because they're used to Harden scoring

434
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty five. So it's a it's a new regime here,

435
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: but they've got some young pieces that are trying to

436
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: gel and and it's and it's looking at least a

437
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: little brighter. Yeah, I wanted to uh, slow play before

438
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: we get into Shaun Watson stuff. So I, um, I

439
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm still not very comfortable Shawn talking about this.

440
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I know it's impossible for you not to. Being in Houston,

441
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: it's the biggest story for sure in the city. Um,

442
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: why don't you fill us in on the latest because

443
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot went down in the last forty Yeah, you

444
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: know what, Jason, I am. I'm with you. These are

445
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: never I when when I wake up and three and

446
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: them three thirty in the morning and you gotta you know,

447
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: you're opening your show talking about what's new. It's never

448
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: comfortable because you can't be and if you're trying to

449
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: be right, I mean trying to be first to give

450
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: a hardcore opinion, it's wrong and it's irresponsible because if

451
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: we were ever gonna sit on the fence to do

452
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to do, I'd rather be right and

453
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: with with these gals. They these women deserve these women

454
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: do they deserve to be heard where at the time

455
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: when the sensitivity but also whether it's fifty years ago

456
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: or fifty years or now, these things, if if it's true,

457
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: this just can't happen. And on the other side with

458
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Shaun and his attorney deserved to be heard too, because

459
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 1: right not none of us were there. It's just what

460
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: we see in social media and what we hear. The

461
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: truth is, I don't know much more than than the

462
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: other people because I don't have any insight to Rusty

463
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Harden or or Tony Buzzby. And it's a heinous situation.

464
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, the optics are awful. And wherever this lies.

465
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: If Deshaun did do it, then you know he's he's

466
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna pay the price. And if and if

467
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: none of these are true, ones too many, if none

468
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: of them are true, then and twenty two women or

469
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: more are lying, then they also need to be held

470
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: accountable for it. So that's where it is. And now

471
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: Rusty Harten and obviously wants the identity of uh and

472
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: A and a judge ruling on that to get the

473
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: identity since Tony Buzby and they're talking so much, and

474
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson's defending against people he doesn't know their names,

475
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: so this is semi and I guess for me feels

476
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: a little odd because if you're one of these females,

477
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: you saw how they get attacked on social media. It's

478
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: very slippery slope, not only for a judge but for attorneys.

479
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: These are high powered attorneys. It's an awful situation. It's

480
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: a it's an horrible way to wake up every day

481
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: to discuss it, and especially with people say, oh, he's guilty,

482
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Well is he and all these girls that no will?

483
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: Did the girls do wrong? Hell, that justice deserves to

484
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: be served. And I think the smartest thing for us

485
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: to do, and the responsible thing is wait till we

486
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: have facts. But yeah, the public court of perception of him, Jason,

487
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: he was Let's think about any city that holds players

488
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: in high regard on and off the field before this happened,

489
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: and even before he said he wanted to be trading,

490
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: and well that traded, before that was going on, he

491
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: was held in his higher regard in our town as

492
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: any player. Wasn't there as a human being as a player.

493
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: And I I'm just talking about the court of public perception.

494
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about I'm not talking about him being

495
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: guilty or not, because I don't know, but that you

496
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: can see on Twitter and on my show and people

497
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: call in the the the it's eighty degrees swing for him,

498
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: and there will be he's gonna have to do a

499
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of damage control regardless of the result of this.

500
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Two get trust back regardless. And it's unfortunate that we

501
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: tried people before they're tried. But uh, you know, eventually

502
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: the truth hopefully will come out and we may never

503
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: know all the facts. But it's an awful situation. Yeah,

504
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: I I will say, I I guess my problem is

505
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: and the one thing I cannot rectify. And Sean, you're listen.

506
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: You you're a player, had a long career. I'm sure

507
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of massages. Um. I like to

508
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: work out and you know, stay fit, and I get massages,

509
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: but I get it from the same person. You You know,

510
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: how you find a good barber and you stick with

511
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: that person because they're great cutting hair. I feel the

512
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: same way about massuses. And yeah, if you're going to

513
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: a hotel with you know, a wife on a vacation,

514
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, you take a random massage. But in my town,

515
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: I get a massage from one person, you know, and

516
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I had my mom comes in town, she goes there.

517
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: I send the wife to this massus. I'm not bouncing around.

518
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: The one thing I can't rectify with Watson is what

519
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: are you doing getting massages from like forty different women.

520
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I don't understand. Have we had

521
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: anything remotely close to that any answer to that? Sorry,

522
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: now I'm I'm with you. Listen, And like I said,

523
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm not putting guilt on him. Some people do stuff

524
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: a lot different, look different, act different than than others do.

525
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I I don't think I've had

526
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: thirty massages from thirty in my life. Normal massages at

527
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: at a at a four seasons hotel when you're on

528
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: vacation with your wife exactly. I don't know, but I

529
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: I you're you're exactly right, whether it's you've got a

530
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: barber you go to or if you're you get your

531
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: nails done right honestly, and and I do I get

532
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: pedicures to it. It's like the same person who doesn't.

533
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why, you know, Jason, sometimes we're so

534
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: bad and it's not the I don't know why, it's

535
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: it's odd to me and I and you know what's

536
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: crazy is that that question has probably come up more

537
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: on my show and in this town. And you look

538
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: at social media too, of why so many and I

539
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe he wants to try something else. And

540
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever in my life seeing somebody.

541
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they do. Maybe that's the way we communicate. And

542
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: I know Rusty Harden had said that his attorney about

543
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: you go find on Instagram. But I also have never

544
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: searched out of town. I don't know what I'd need

545
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: a massage therapist to fly to Houston for if she's

546
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: in New York or Boston, her heirs I I I

547
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I wish I had a better answer, but

548
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: it seems odd. I don't think many people disagree with you.

549
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: I think most people's question is why, in your position,

550
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: as such a great decision maker on the field, would

551
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: you even put yourself in that position? Right, people make mistakes,

552
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: but uh, this is more than just that. This is

553
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: not an accident. It's obviously something he did. Now, whether

554
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: it's guilty or not, or it's just massages because he's

555
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: like massages from forty different people, I don't know, but

556
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: it seems odd to me. I am with you on

557
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: it's head shaking. Let me play the other side now. Again,

558
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to speculate why that would be, but

559
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: the other side of this Deshaun Watson. By all accounts,

560
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: choir boy never been in trouble in high school. Choir

561
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: boy never got in trouble at Clemson. I can't find

562
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: any instances of even like a bar fight or an

563
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: arrest drunken public. Nothing it Clemson. I don't recall anything

564
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: in Houston. Maybe I missed it, But the timing of

565
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: him saying he wants out trade me and all these

566
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: people coming forward and Deshaun Watson suddenly looking like a

567
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: bad guy, that is also very interesting to me. Agreed,

568
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: and Jason, I'm with you. You you go and you say, okay,

569
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: can I recall And then when Dabble comes out and

570
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: says he's like a son to me, well, I trust

571
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Abbo and he old him and I were got at

572
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: no time and in this town I could tell you

573
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: to talk about him now. While J. J. Watt probably

574
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: is the most highly regarded for right, I mean just

575
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: from his difference making and the rest of it, Watson

576
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: was approaching that that that feeling right, he is the

577
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: guy who's going to play on the field off the field.

578
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: From his local commercials to that, no time was there

579
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: like and I don't know what goes on in somebody's

580
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: private life and use I don't care and as long

581
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: as they're not breaking the law, and then this comes out,

582
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: It's like this is this is such a hundred and

583
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: eighty degree difference from the way everybody thought. Now, does

584
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: that mean he's guilty? Absolutely not. But it's just you're thinking,

585
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: you're scratching your head. You're saying, how does this happen

586
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: just like that? And then the timing is a coincidence?

587
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: Is it? Uh? Jayson, this is one of the most

588
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: baffling normally where eventually you put a finger on it,

589
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: but it's like you can't because there's people that are

590
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: still having a hard time to come on my show,

591
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: like why would this guy do this? And at no

592
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: point in time has anybody uttered an ill word about him,

593
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: And yet here we are in this situation. And that

594
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean guilt and its sures heck, doesn't mean that

595
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: the women on the other side are falsely accusing. It's

596
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: a crazy situation and one that just continues to tell us, Jason,

597
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: that we never know what goes on in some of

598
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: these life good or bad. Great point. Sean Salisbury show

614
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I talked about it all on the show. I used

615
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: to work for Andy Reid as a scout. Now I

617
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: goes on the NFL. And you know we're talking college

618
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: football because of how important the draft is year round.

624
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: this weekend. Back here on Fox Sports Radio. Interesting stuff

625
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: from Sean Salisbury. It's gotta be difficult to be hosting

626
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: at radio show in Houston right now, because that's all

627
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 1: anybody wants to talk about is Deshaun Watson. And it's

628
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: a story filled with potential landmines. You say the one

629
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: wrong thing, some jerk clips off ten seconds of your

630
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: statement and it goes viral, and then you lose your job.

631
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: You know, like it's just a it's it's a very

632
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: difficult situation. Think about this, Jason. So then okay, you

633
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: know what, We're gonna stay away from Deshaan. Let's go

634
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: to some astros talk. Oh, fans in the stands are

635
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: throwing trash cans on the field because our team is

636
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: involved in the biggest cheating scandal in baseball history. Oh,

637
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: let's go to the NBA. Our star player is forcing

638
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: his way out at strip clubs and gaining weight. I mean,

639
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: Houston Sports, is that a all time low? Right? Now, yeah,

640
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough time to be a Houston And

641
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: imagine if if Deshaun Watson is suspended. I'm not saying

642
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: he should be or will be. I'm just saying if

643
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: he is, because we've seen other guys get suspended for

644
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: uh various things in the NFL. Let's just let it

645
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: say that if Deshaun Watson gets like six games or

646
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: four games, I mean, they're already a bad team. They're

647
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna be headed right back toward the top and probably

648
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. UM, tough times

649
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: in Houston. All right. Let's let's look ahead to the

650
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: NBA m v P situation. So Lebron, even if he

651
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: comes back, we'll have still missed a lot of games.

652
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: And in a seventy two games season, I don't think

653
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: you can miss twenty games and still win the m

654
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: v P. If you look at the m v P

655
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: history in the league, it's always been a major star,

656
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: usually from a major market, right, And I don't I

657
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: just look at this season, and you know the way

658
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: the winds are blowing, and I'm telling you, guys, I

659
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: think Yo Kich is gonna be the guy who probably

660
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: wins the Award Janice has wanted the last two years now,

661
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks have had I think the best record both

662
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: of those seasons. James Harden wanted, I mean he was awesome.

663
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, aveage triple double, Curry best player, seventy three wins,

664
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Derrick Crows. I

665
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: think yokits will be the first second round pick to

666
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: win an MVP. Man, I can't name. I'm looking at

667
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: the list, like Steve Nash was not a second round pick. Uh,

668
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: Dirk Davitsky went, you know, top fifteen. It's certainly the

669
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: first center since Shock in two thousand with the Lakers.

670
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: It's it's been a crazy that's how crazy this season

671
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: has been. And and Gavin, I know you're Willis Reid

672
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: knew there had been the last one that was the

673
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: only second round pick to ever win an m v P.

674
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: So I know you run hot and cold with the NBA. Gavitt.

675
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: If we're looking at a Denver Nuggets Brooklyn Nets final,

676
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: what's your interest level? Oh, I'm absolutely interested. Absolutely no.

677
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with the sport of basketball.

678
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: It just has to do with the regular season and

679
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: and the lack of interest in the daily Like embiid

680
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: comes back last night, looks great? Is he back in

681
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: the m VP mix? I can see it, but it's

682
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: just hard as a topic in sports radio, especially national.

683
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, no, absolutely they think the Negets are

684
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: very impressive team, especially with the trade Aaron Gordon. Um,

685
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: I think yeah they. I mean they have not lost

686
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: since getting Gordon. Think about it, Eric Gordon was like

687
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: the number one guy in Orlando. He now comes in

688
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, we got Yoki, we got Jamal Murray.

689
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Here's what we need you to do. It's like, WHOA

690
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: really not that that's all that's on my plate. I

691
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: could really lock in on defense. I still kind of

692
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: think that the loss of Gary Harris could be meaningful

693
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: in the playoffs because he was pretty crucial last postseason. Um,

694
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: but no, I think the playoffs will be fine. I

695
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: think the Nets look unstoppable. Um, Clippers are coming on strong.

696
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: But again, god do it in the playoffs. Paul George

697
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: can't be putting up thirty points every night. Yeah, and

698
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: Paul George has his toe injury. It's lingering and like

699
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: it's a tough sell to use a toe injury as

700
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: an excuse, But I don't know. Man, they get Rondo,

701
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: you think that's really gonna matter Gen Rondo, Yeah, no,

702
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to imagine that. I don't think he'll

703
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: have as big of an impact as he did on

704
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I think he helped the Lakers a lot

705
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, it's interesting. When Denver is really good,

706
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: Phoenix is really good. I mean, this Phoenix Suns team

707
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: is tough. Booker and CP three Utah is really good.

708
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: I mean we haven't even mentioned Luka don Chet, who

709
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: came into the season as the m v P favorite,

710
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: and they're starting to surge in the West. The Spurs

711
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: are falling off as expected. Zion with a nice wind

712
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: last night. Zion no playoffs two years in a row.

713
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: That's a colossal disappointment. Shoot everybody in that front office

714
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: to the moon and let me take control. And it

715
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: does sound like fans will be back in the stands

716
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:48,440

722
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre Allen in the studio. This lovely Saturday morning.

723
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: No more college basketball, but fortunately we have the movie

724
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: Coming to America showing on Paramount. Obviously, I think I

725
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: mentioned I watched Coming to America to or tried to

726
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: get through it. It was not particularly good. Did see

727
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: King Kong verse Godzilla? Did you guys see that? I

728
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: hope they did, because listen, it is a fun, fun movie.

729
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: If you expect um an Oscar winning movie, you're not

730
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: gonna get it. You get two big monsters battling and uh,

731
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: let's move on. Let's move on from Godzilla King Kong

732
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: to our next guest. Uh. He covers the Falcons for

733
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Journal Constitution d Orlando Ledbetter Morning man, How

734
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: are you, Jason? How it for having me on the show. Yeah,

735
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited to talk Falcons because mostly I've I

736
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: have felt for a while that the draft basically pivots

737
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: on four the Atlanta Falcons. Everybody's been saying they need

738
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I just don't see that, like, oh, it's

739
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: trying to move on from Matt Ryan. Really, doesn't he

740
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: turn thirty six like next month? Hasn't he missed like

741
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: three games in his entire career. Matt Ryan's a good quarterback.

742
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would move on, Like, why

743
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: would you hire a new coach, right and then move

744
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: on from your quarter Like, no guys taken the Falcon's

745
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: job if you don't have a quarterback like Matt Ryan

746
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: is a good quarterback, right, you can win with this

747
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: guy still, Yeah, no question about him. It's real simple.

748
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: When they have protected him, when the interior of his

749
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: pocket has been firm and he could step into his throat,

750
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: they go to the playoffs. Um, you know the team

751
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: is trying to look down the road and try to

752
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: be sustainable. But now it's not the time to uh

753
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: look for his heir apparent. But you gotta at least

754
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: look at it because, uh, you don't plan to be

755
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: in the top part of the draft anytime soon, so uh,

756
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: if somebody blows your socks off, you might have to

757
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: make that call. And as of right now and again,

758
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: we're still love like almost three weeks away from the draft.

759
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: Any idea where the Falcons are leaning? I mean, everything

760
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: you read and I think I've read a lot in

761
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: your paper that the owner really likes Matt Ryan. That's

762
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: a sign to me they're not taking a guy like

763
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: Trey Lance now and having him sit this Packers strategy

764
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: of let's get the air apparent while we can, which

765
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: has not helped the Packers at all. Yeah, no question

766
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: about it. Um. The new GM Terry font Know said

767
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna take the best player available, you know, channeling

768
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: Ausby Newsom from Baltimore, round Wood from Green Bay. He says,

769
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, when you started reaching for Kneeds, that's when

770
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: you mess up the whole apple cart. So you know,

771
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: if Justin Fields is the best player there, uh that

772
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: you know they got to take him. But you know

773
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: that might be not He might not be their best player.

774
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: He Solo from Oregon, Kyle Pitts from uh Florida. You

775
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: know those three guys will be in the mix now. Um.

776
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: If if Shanahan did trade up to three to get

777
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: mac Jones, which I don't believe, um, then Justin Fields

778
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: will be there. So I'm pretty sure the only thing

779
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: that makes sense to me is they traded up that

780
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: high and gave up three first round pick to get

781
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. They didn't do that for mac Jones. I

782
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: would agree, We've seen strangest things. So then the Factons

783
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: could be sitting there. You know, they haven't been selling

784
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: out the new stadium Justin Fields. This is a local. Um. Hey,

785
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense for the future of

786
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: the team, in the future of the franchise. But they

787
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: we did Matt Ryan's contract for two more years and

788
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: his hint is too big for him to go anytime soon.

789
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: So he's here for three years. He's gonna play that

790
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: contract in Atlanta, and you're not drafting Justin Fields to

791
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: stiff for three years. Yeah. Um, so this really comes

792
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: down who do you go offensive line? And you know,

793
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't the Falcons

794
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: last year tout that we have five first round picks

795
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Now, I know none of them

796
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: were great and they're not all from the Falcons, but

797
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: they were all first round picks correct, correct? Yeah, And

798
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: two of them are going Alex mc moved going to

799
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: the forty niners at thirty five and James Carpenter was cut, so, um,

800
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, now they're down to three first rounders. So uh,

801
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: and and the third rounder that all be taken over

802
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: for Mac at center. So there's a whole at left guard. Uh,

803
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: you can draft Penny Store at six four three thirty one.

804
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: He can go right in the guard right away, I'm told.

805
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm told you could start at four spots right away,

806
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: right now, at twenty and then you can flip them

807
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: the outside later. Now that's interesting. I thought specifically he

808
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: was targeted to be a left tackle. I didn't think

809
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: that they could put him a gardener. That changes things

810
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: because I thought that, you know, Sewel didn't make it

811
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: as much sense to say a Cole Pitts when you

812
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: got Julio Jones who just turned thirty two coming off

813
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: an injury plague season. For me, Kyle Pitts made a

814
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: lot of sense. You know, Calvin Ridley is nice. If

815
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: Julio starts to lose a step at thirty two, you

816
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: got Kyle Pitts. You can come in and easily catch

817
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: seventy balls as a rookie, right, Yeah, no question about it.

818
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: But um, the basic part of football blocking they haven't

819
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: been very good at. So you know you need to

820
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, Matt Ryan's been stacked over forty times the

821
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: last for three seasons and then the running game went nowhere.

822
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: I think three point two yards to carry last year

823
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: and Durley kind still off the clip. So you know,

824
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: you got to improve that running game so he can

825
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: throw it tay action passes and you gotta protect lt

826
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Ryan and then you know, uh, you can get to

827
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: the weapons you can have really take over for Julio.

828
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: Try to get more out of head and hurt uh

829
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and throw it out of the backfield to Mike Davis.

830
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: What about this idea that you know the new coaches

831
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: coming from Tennessee where he loved two tight end sets

832
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: and running the football, and you know, I know Derrick

833
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: Henry was was a workhorse. Falcons aren't really built like that.

834
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Do you see a change in what how the Falcons

835
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: do thinks? Or do you think the new coach adopts

836
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: to what he's got talent was, Yeah, he's gonna try

837
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: to revert to these cow Shanahan's offense that he's learned

838
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: with Matt Lafloor and at some of the power that

839
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: he got from Mike Malarkey when Mike was in Tennessee.

840
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: He's when he wants to take the edges with those

841
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: tight ends. But Yeah, he doesn't have Derrick Kenley on

842
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: the roster, so he's gonna have to run some outside zone,

843
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: stretch plays inside and some gap actions to get the

844
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: running game going. So and then you know the passing parks.

845
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's real simple. Once they get that going on,

846
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan on play actions stuff, that's where we're headed.

847
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: And uh, you know you can see the running back

848
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: come off the board, not at floor. But you know

849
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: you're one uh in the draft for Shure. Okay, well

850
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: you just sold me. Uh we're talking d Orlando led

851
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: Better Atlanta Falcons beat writer. Uh, you just sold me.

852
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: I do mock drafts for Fox Sports, and it's gonna

853
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: be sewel at four because if if they if he

854
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: wants to run the offense he had in Tennessee and

855
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: he don't have the lineman to do it, that's the move.

856
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: As as good as Kyle Pitts is and as much

857
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: sense as that makes, you know, you do have hearse there.

858
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: I think he's got to go with the offensive lineman

859
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: and and get that offense back to where he had

860
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Though, So that's a done deal. And then

861
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: you can get the kid from North Carolina maybe early

862
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: second round. The running back. You can find running backs anywhere, really, right, Yeah,

863
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: no doubt. I like the children Hood Hubbard kids from

864
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Trace Sermon from Ohio States. Right, uh yeah,

865
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: both of the North Carolina kids. Yeah, they'll be some

866
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: redding back sitting around in third and fourth round that

867
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: that can come in and help you out. Yeah, all right,

868
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: he is. D Orlando Ledbetter covers the Falcons for the

869
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution. Follow him on Twitter at d Orlando A. J. C. Hey.

870
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for taking the time this morning. Sure enough,

871
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: problem Jackson, Thanks for having me right, Atlanta Falcons really

872
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: holding a key to the draft. Sewell is an awesome

873
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and that makes a lot of sense. I'm

874
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to change that in my next month draft

875
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: for Fox. Um that I guess that means Kyle Pitts

876
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: could go five two. Who's got the fifth pick? Off

877
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: the top of my head, I don't know. I know

878
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles were at six. I think the Dolphins are

879
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: at six. NFL draft is just so fun. Dolphins are

880
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: at six now, Dolphins are at six five? Let me

881
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: try Yeah, Miami Dolphins, they could get Jamaar Chase then

882
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: or Kyle Pitts. Wow, Miami Dolphins and good yes, Cincinnati Bengals,

883
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: they want Chase, but they would certainly take well was

884
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: always the talk. Yeah, I guess the problem is they

885
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: lose A j Green and Joe Burrow played with Jamaar Chase,

886
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: the receiver from l s U put up monster numbers. Um,

887
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: you're right, Sewel makes sense. I'll have to look at

888
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: that offensive line. But a Sewel's gone four then yeah

889
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: it Uh. By the way, I didn't want to say this.

890
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: When you were talking about Mac Jones. You were saying

891
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: that he had so much help at Alabama, which is

892
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: not deniable. Um, but to the same effect, Joe Burrow

893
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: had the same at l s U. He was stabbed there,

894
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think he got trashed for not being skilled.

895
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: Now he's more athletic. I think that's clear. But um,

896
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: but I do think that it is possible that everyone

897
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: was just talented on the team. Entirely possible. Yes, And

898
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: that was an all time great LSU team like that

899
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: that might go down as one of the greatest college

900
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: football teams we've ever seen. Yeah, and listen, a lot

901
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: of people want to say, well, Joe Burrow came out

902
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: of nowhere and was the number one pick. Well not really.

903
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: He was also in that Ohio State quarterback room with

904
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: like three other superstars and at the college level, and

905
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: then he goes to l s U and he was

906
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 1: the starter for a year. He didn't put up great numbers,

907
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: so he was a two year starter Joe Burrow in college,

908
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: similarly to Zack Wilson, who was actually started for like

909
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: one and a half years at b y U, wasn't

910
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: particularly great, and then made the jump this past season. Again,

911
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: that's not Mac Jones, Okay, Matt Jones was like the

912
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: backup to Tuah and could never get on the field,

913
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: and he was the backup to Jalen Hurts as well.

914
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: Then the one year he is a starter, he has

915
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: a great season. I always say, m I know, you

916
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: watch a lot of Alabama football. I don't know. I mean,

917
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: we've been over Mac Jones a lot. Like none of

918
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: us love this guy, right, well, he certainly looks good

919
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: in that system, right yeah, but what what is that like?

920
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: But see, Jason, my thought is, and you'll take this

921
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: as a personal shot or something that I would take. Whoever,

922
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: the Niners have at three whoever take, we'll have a

923
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,959
Speaker 1: better career than Zach Wilson at too that I feel

924
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: very confident. Well, and that's the situation. First, talenting, I

925
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: don't care how talented. I thought Sam Donald was incredibly talented,

926
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: but you go to a bad situation. Now, look, the

927
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: Jets do seem to be on the rise, but Robert

928
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: Salah has not coached a game. We don't we don't

929
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: really know anything. I will say that the Jets offensive

930
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: coordinator is a Shanahan guy. He was working under Shanahan

931
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: in San Francisco last year. And yes, obviously Shanahan's a

932
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: really good offensive mind. But at some point when all

933
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: these offensive mind coaches, remember in twenty nineteen, there was

934
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: like six of them hired the floor and Zach Taylor,

935
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: at some point you got you hired the sixth worst coach, right,

936
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: the six worth offensive mind. The Jets, to their credit,

937
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: went out and got one of the elite defensive minds

938
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: to be their head coach. Let me let me counter

939
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: with this. When Josh Allen was dra did by the Bills,

940
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: did anybody think he would be the best quarterback from

941
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: that class? No? But that also, yeah, he got trashed

942
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: a Ton and he wasn't very good the first year,

943
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: but year and a half, don't the bills and their

944
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: oc don't they get a ton of credit for the turnaround,

945
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: especially the accuracy that's insane. So that's my my thought is,

946
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: you know the Niners with Kyle Shanahan, you talk to

947
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: anyone in the league. They talked about this arrogance that

948
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan has, which isn't a bad thing, but the

949
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: arrogance is whoever I take, I feel like I can

950
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: mold into and work with. And for whatever reason, mac

951
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: Jones seems to be unless it's the smoke screen there there,

952
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: unless there's some reason that you know they're worried about.

953
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know there's some smoke screen there. But but

954
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: whoever they take, I feel very confident in for them. Yeah,

955
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: this whole like, uh that one of the knocks on

956
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,959
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is the progressions and he kind of diagnoses

957
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: defense a little slower than you need to, and he's

958
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: looking and looking, and then he's holding the ball a

959
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: little bit long and then he can bail himself out

960
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: by running and you need to process quickly. What's the coverage,

961
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: where's the safety? You know, are they in zone man

962
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: and and they supposedly Fields can't do that as quick

963
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: as some of the other quarterbacks. I don't know if

964
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: I just don't know if mac Jones needs to diagnosed

965
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: defenses when he's got superstar receivers who can get separation

966
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: on any quarterback like mac Jones goes to the forty nine,

967
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he fits that system. Maybe is he that mobile?

968
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Actually, you know, if you look up

969
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: his forty time, it'll surprise you it was. It was

970
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: not bad. I thought it was a four six, and

971
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: I'd have to look it up. Um. But you know

972
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: the thing is is that there's like shirtless pictures and

973
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: that Mac Jones and everyone just thinks, oh, he's not athletic.

974
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: But is mac Jones jack or No, No, he's not

975
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: at all at least the photos. That is he Tom

976
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: Brady flabby? Oh geez, yeah, he's Dad Bodesque. Wait, um, no,

977
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: you're right, Dad Bodesque Mac Jones. I just I got

978
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: to delete my history now. I just searched for Matt

979
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: Jones shirtless. That's bad. That's bad. Ran a four eight six.

980
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That's not justin Fields who ran like

981
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,959
Speaker 1: a four or four four. I swear I had heard

982
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: that he ran a faster forty than Patrick Mahomessada comes

983
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: in here to do the show after us up on

984
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: game and he's been working with Zack Wilson a lot

985
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: and says, Zack Wilson could probably run a four or

986
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: five forty. That's how great of an athlete he is.

987
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about the Zach Wilson Mahomes ran a

988
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: four eighty. Yeah, Macolmes, Yeah, Mahomes looks he plays faster

989
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: than that. The play like runs fast versus play fast

990
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: is so so different. Um, Fox Sports Radio, it's the

Speaker 1: Slash yes Nilson report limitations apply. Um, you guys know,

999
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm I like to talk about the Australian basketball team

1000
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: we own in the NBL. I don't know if you

1001
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 1: saw this news. But this week it was reported that

1002
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: another player has bought into the league. Um, Chris Middleton

1003
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: is now an owner of a team in the NBL.

1004
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: His his group is run by Kevin Martin. You guys

1005
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: remember him, the guy who was what Sacramento had like

1006
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: a monkey shot. But um, it's kind of a cool league.

1007
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: John wall is part of an ownership group in there.

1008
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: Al Harrington and of course you know I'm in the

1009
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: group with the New Zealand Breakers. Victor Oladipo, don't know him,

1010
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: haven't met him. Shawn Marion know him a little bit,

1011
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: but we're not tight. Very cool. I will say they

1012
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: lost last night, and I watched the games on Twitch

1013
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: before I go to bed because obviously the time down

1014
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: under is a significant time difference. But it is pretty

1015
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: cool being a minority owner of a basketball team. And

1016
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: I will say this, I got a new one on

1017
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: the horizon, not basketball, but if all things go well,

1018
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: I'll be able to tell you guys about it next month. Um,

1019
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: let's quickly go to college basketball for a moment. And

1020
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: I gotta give Baylor their dues props to Baylor covered

1021
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: the spread against Gonzaga easily covered five four and a

1022
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: half whatever number you got, and then they just beat

1023
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: him down. I mean they I was a beat down

1024
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: an under he did. Gonzaga team gets smoked by Baylor

1025
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: in the championship and everybody wants to dismiss Gonzaga and say, oh,

1026
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: come on, they were overrated to begin with, crappy league,

1027
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I mean, listen, if you guys watched

1028
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: college basketball, you know that's a very very good Gonzaga team.

1029
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: Did they run out of gas after the overtime thriller

1030
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: against U c l A in the Final four, one of,

1031
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: by the way, the all time great college basketball games.

1032
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: It was an incredible game, thrilling throughout. U c l A.

1033
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: Never went away. But you could tell watching Gonzaga, Man,

1034
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: they're saying a great defensive team. And that's why I

1035
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: bet Baylor, and you know, Baylor one that won the

1036
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: championship handely. But I guess my two questions would be

1037
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: number one and Gavin and Sam. I know you guys

1038
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: watch college hoops in bed on it like, just because

1039
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: Gonzaga lost, it doesn't mean they stink. But I guess

1040
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: the bigger question is does this mean Baylor now belongs

1041
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: in the group of Wow, this is like an all

1042
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: time great team. Not at all time great, top five,

1043
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: top ten, but in the last twenty years, they've got

1044
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: to be one of the seminal teams, right, I mean

1045
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: they When you can destroy an undefeated team like that,

1046
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: you gotta be pretty damn good. I feel like I

1047
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: give more credit to Scott Drew and like the coaching job.

1048
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: I just feel like they played really good defense on Gonzaga,

1049
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: and uh. I do question the all time nous of

1050
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: all this because I just don't think the sport is

1051
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: as talented as it was because you don't have as

1052
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: many players that have been there for several years. And

1053
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: when you look back at you know, you Wing and

1054
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: Jordan's and like all these guys that were there, Like,

1055
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think there's that many elite

1056
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: college basketball team. I'm not the guru on this. Well,

1057
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: the funny part is in that championship game, five guys

1058
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: could go in the first round, right we know, Jalen

1059
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: Sucks is going Top five. Davion Mitchell from Baylor. He's

1060
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: twenty two years old, but you could tell in the

1061
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: tournament he could play in the league. Jared Butler is

1062
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: only twenty and was is a really good point guard.

1063
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: Drew Timmy, who did not look good against Baylor, but

1064
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: it was dominant against just about everybody else. He's probably

1065
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: a first round pick. And then Corey Kissberg, who I

1066
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: don't love as a prospect. A lot of people think

1067
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: he's a lottery guy. I personally don't see it. Um,

1068
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: that's five guys in the championship game going in the

1069
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: first round. I was, Sam, you watched a lot of Gonzaga.

1070
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: Where are you on those guys? Yeah, I mean there's

1071
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: definitely there was definitely talent in that title game. Um. Uh.

1072
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: Those guys they had, they had a heck of a year.

1073
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean they were a lot of them ended up

1074
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 1: on the Wooden Team, you know, like the All Wooden Team.

1075
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: And Um. In terms of in terms of Gonzaga, I

1076
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: think they just ran out of juice. I really do.

1077
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: I think that they just they squeezed all the juice

1078
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: for that u c L A Final four game, and

1079
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: they were tired and they were like, oh, we gotta

1080
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: know their game to play it actually win it all

1081
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: and um, and Baylor just got him at the right time.

1082
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Gonzaga was really good and they were not overrated.

1083
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: They beat a lot of good teams in the non conference, yes,

1084
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: and then swept through their their league. But I would

1085
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: definitely say Gonzaga, it was a fantastic team and they

1086
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: just have that one loss on the record. Now, yeah,

1087
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: my barometer is basically that U n l V team

1088
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: that squashed Duke, and then the next season I think

1089
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: they won forty five games in a row spanning two

1090
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: seasons and ultimately, you know, they lost to Duke in

1091
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the final four. But could Gonzaga play with that U

1092
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: n LV team Before the Final four? I was saying, yeah,

1093
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: why not? After the Final four, no way, Larry Johnson

1094
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: and Augman and Anthony and Hunt would destroy them. But

1095
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: then you gotta ask, like, how good was that Baylor

1096
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: team because if they remember, they only lost a couple

1097
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: of games because of the COVID situation, they got hit

1098
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: hard by COVID, took a dip. Before that, they were

1099
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I think eighteen and oh and it's like, well, wait

1100
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: a second, were they even really pushed in the n

1101
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: c A tournament than anybody come really close to beating them?

1102
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: I recalled the Bailor team being dominant. Now it was

1103
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: guard heavy, transfer heavy, and the big takeaway and I

1104
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: talked about this on Straight Fire is and we had

1105
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: Jay Billison last weekend. Basically, the new college basketball model

1106
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: is forget the one and dones. You gotta look for transfers.

1107
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Bring in twenty one and twenty two year old guys

1108
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: who are physically mature, and you're gonna be beating a

1109
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: lot of these eighteen and nineteen year olds. And that

1110
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: Baylor team had three starters who were transfers. That is

1111
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: the new model. You want. Houston, which got to the

1112
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: final four, had transfers. Um U c l A obviously,

1113
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 1: Johnny Jusang was a high end transfer from Kentucky. Their

1114
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: point guard Tiger Campbell was a transfer. Like, you want

1115
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: guys who transferred into the program and are physically mature.

1116
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: And that's where like if you look at the transfer

1117
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: list this year, and I know Doug Gottlie has talked

1118
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot about this, like there are so many guys

1119
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 1: because there's no punishment given COVID for transferring. You don't

1120
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: have to sit out of here. And next year in

1121
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: college basketball I think could be very very good. But

1122
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: again it's like a niche audience. I'm into it in

1123
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: March regular season. Kind of a tougher self. Fox Sports

1129
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,959
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever been on the show. Maybe

1130
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: a couple of years back. He covers the NBA. He's

1131

1133
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: are you man? I've never been on the show, Jason.

1134
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: There's a reason why you've never invited me. Jeez all,

1135
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: don't even try to play nice and said, I'm not sure.

1136
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know if that's actually worse because it's

1137
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: making it seem like the time that I came on

1138
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't that good. Yes, exactly. Well, the timing for

1139
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: this one is really good. With the Brooklyn Nets tonight,

1140
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: national TV audience for the Lakers, Um, Kevin Durant is back.

1141
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Still know James Harden, where are you on the Nets? Now? Frank?

1142
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Who have ascended to top spot in the East. They're

1143
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: the favorites to win the title. I still there feels

1144
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: like I'm just not certain this team will pull it off.

1145
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is the reason, of course. Well, and to

1146
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: be fair, Kyrie has been terrific. Now. He ghosted the

1147
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: team for about two weeks in January and then he

1148
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: was gone for a week in March when they went

1149
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: out to the West Coast. But other than that, he

1150
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: has played really well. I think with James Harden being

1151
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: there and playing so well, everything was kind of focused

1152
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: on him. Kyrie playing off guard, he's you know, it's

1153
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it's just taken a lot of pressure off.

1154
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: And remember when Lebron won the tie with Kyrie and

1155
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Kevin love Kart was the second best player. If they know,

1156
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: once they get the whole team back, Kyrie is going

1157
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: to be the third best player on the nets, which

1158
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: is that's a pretty good third best player. You can

1159
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of go through these stretches where maybe he's not

1160
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: playing well, maybe he skips a game, and somehow you

1161
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be okay because there's less pressure on

1162
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: him now. There was a lot more pressure on him

1163
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: in Boston, and look how it worked out. They actually

1164
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: did better without him than they did with him when

1165
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: when he was there. But in this in this role,

1166
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: he's been terrific. Yeah. If this is a guy who

1167
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: could go a wall from the team and say I

1168
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: need some personal time off to have my birthday party,

1169
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: who who's to say in the postseason he's not gonna

1170
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: pull a no show. Remember, this is a guy who

1171
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in Boston didn't even sit on the bench for Game seven.

1172
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: He said he had some root canal or some some

1173
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: some b s excuse. I don't know, Frank, He's the

1174
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: biggest concern for me. I don't know what I'm getting

1175
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: from Kyrie in the playoffs, especially if he is, like

1176
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: you said, the third banana. Yeah, And I also I

1177
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: think that's a fair point. And I also think you

1178
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: know the way the team is. And I'm not going

1179
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: to give the beat writers of that much of a

1180
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: hard time. But you know, if if Michael Jordan's in

1181
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: his prime, had missed two weeks in January and then

1182
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: a week in March, or whether it was you know,

1183
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing during his hey day, or here's another player,

1184
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: Lebron James, if he missed two days in March, I'm

1185
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: sorry two weeks in January week and Mark, don't you

1186
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: think people are gonna be grilling him? Like what's going on?

1187
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: And what you just suggested to me would be a

1188
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: perfectly fair question, Kyrie, Is there a possibility that you're

1189
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to miss more time during the playoffs? Like

1190
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: how do you not? Nobody knows if if that's if

1191
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: that's true or not true, and that's kind of been

1192
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: his history and it's it's it's definitely a major concern.

1193
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: But here's what I would also say about that. If

1194
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: you look at you know, Kevin Durant put a lot

1195
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: of pressure on himself by coming to Brooklyn because if

1196
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: he stays in Golden State, that kind of probably win

1197
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: maybe at least one more championship. And people are gonna

1198
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: be upset about the fact that he left Oklahoma City

1199
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: kind of chase rings there. But it was working out

1200
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: for me at two championships and he was a two

1201
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: time finals MVP. But the only you know, the only

1202
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: thing that people are gonna look at as being successful

1203
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn is winning a championship. So he's kind of

1204
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: entered that same place where Lebron is like anything short

1205
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: of a championship fairly or unfairly is considered a failure.

1206
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: So him and James hard enforcing his way at Euston

1207
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: and Kyrie Irving wanting to team up with Kevin Durrant.

1208
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: They can only do one thing. It's not even about

1209
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: getting to the finals. They're gonna have to win for

1210
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: this to be successful. So I think they kind of

1211
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: understand that there's a lot of pressure on them right

1212
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: now to win the whole thing, if not this year,

1213
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: over the next couple of years. Yes, staying in the East,

1214
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: franc is there a team that you think can really

1215
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: push the nets? Uh? They don't have a big obviously.

1216
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think much of LaMarcus Aldridge or

1217
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: Blake at this stage in their career, Sixers Bucks. I'm

1218
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: still kind of bullish on the Celtics, who I think

1219
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: present problems on the wings. But who do you think

1220
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: gives the nets the biggest problem in the East. Well,

1221
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, I still think Milwaukee is kind of being

1222
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: like forgotten a little bit. You know, I'm not so

1223
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: sure they can score with the um with the Brooklyn nets,

1224
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: but Drew Holiday as that was a great pick up

1225
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: for them. The other team to look out for Philadelphia

1226
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: because the times that they played them, the one time

1227
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: that the Nets were able to shut down um Joel Embiide,

1228
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: it was Jared Allen who did the shutting down, and

1229
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: of course Jared was was included. The trade for James

1230
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: harton Philadelphia is they have a big lineup, they got

1231
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: enough scoring out there, They got a big time defender

1232
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: in Ben Simmons Molly. Issue with Philadelphia is that they've

1233
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: never advanced out of the second round, So you know

1234
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: the thing that they could take, like if they were

1235
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: to play the Brooklyn Nets in the in the conference final,

1236
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: just because based on experience, I would say Brooklyn. But

1237
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Jason also remember this and I appreciate with Dr Rivers said.

1238
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Dr Riverers said, they want to finish with the best record.

1239
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Needs Like now you're looked at as a crazy person

1240
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: if you actually want the regular season to mean something.

1241
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: But by finishing first, then you stay out of the

1242
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,919
Speaker 1: two three hole, which in the second round, it looks

1243
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: like Milwaukee's going to finish third, so you'd want to

1244
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 1: avoid playing them in the second round. Now, I do

1245
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: think eventually Miami is gonna move up into that four

1246
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 1: or five, so you would get them in the second round.

1247
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think getting the number one

1248
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: seed is a big deal. And right now it's gonna

1249
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: between the Mets and Philadelphia. Yeah, we're talking with Frankie Sola,

1250
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: NBA Insider Series XM host. Let's go to the West,

1251
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: frank I can't take my eyes off the Denver Nuggets

1252
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: haven't lost since they got Aaron Gordon. Arguably the best

1253
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: team in the West right now. I don't know if

1254
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: you are a believer in the Jazz. I do like

1255
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the Sons, but I mean, they've got so many guys

1256
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: who've never been to the playoffs on their team. So

1257
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: where are you right now? And again, we don't know

1258
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: when a d and Lebron are coming back. Could be soon,

1259
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: could be another week or two. But currently are the

1260
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Nuggets the team to beat in the West? I agree?

1261
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: And now is you know once Lebron does return. But

1262
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: that high ankle sprain, that's something where you see guys

1263
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: like all it takes is like a little nudge and

1264
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: then they re injure it. So if if both Anthony

1265
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: Davis and Lebron or healthy, I would still make them

1266
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: the favorite. But you wrote up Aaron Gordon and the

1267
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: big thing there was Aaron Gordon is a guy. He

1268
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,799
Speaker 1: is such He's a great athlete and he's a good defender.

1269
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: You could put him on Kawhi Leonard in the plais

1270
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 1: you could put him on Lebron James and he could

1271
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: do a reasonably good job. And what he's kind of

1272
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: embraced up to this point is the idea that Yokich

1273
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and Jamal Murray are gonna get a lot of shots,

1274
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: same thing with Michael Porter Jr. All Aaron Gordon has

1275
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: to do is cut to the basket and he's gonna

1276
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: get three or four dunks a game because Yokich will

1277
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 1: find him and that I think Aaron Gordon being a

1278
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: guy that's playing around the rim as opposed to him

1279
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to do. Now, we call it the

1280
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: chat Chouse slide three, you know, the crossover drivel step back,

1281
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: slide to the right and then they take a contested three.

1282
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: As long as gonna taking that awful shot, he's worked.

1283
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: That was the most underrated move at the deadline because

1284
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: he's kind of filling the role that Jeremy Grant had

1285
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: failed for them last year before he took the money

1286
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: and went to Detroit. That was a great trade, and

1287
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: I I just love the way that they're playing. I

1288
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 1: think Yokich at this point is going to be the

1289
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: m v P, and why why can't they be the

1290
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: team to be? That's kind of spicy. Do you have

1291
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: an m v P ballot, ballot and give me your

1292
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: top three currently? Now I have had it over the past,

1293
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, a few years. Whether or not the NBA

1294
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,560
Speaker 1: gives it to me this year, I don't know, but

1295
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure I'll probably get a vote.

1296
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: Um to me, it was it looked like it was

1297
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: gonna be Lebron because it looked like Lebron wanted to win.

1298
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: If you if you're gonna be the m v P,

1299
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: you have to want to win it. And Lebron looked

1300
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: like he was gonna play between sixty eight and seventy

1301
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: two games. So if Lebron is playing that many games,

1302
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: he was going to be the m v P. Plus

1303
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: he's got the media in his back pocket, which also

1304
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: kind of helps well. But I think indeed had a moment,

1305
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: but he missed time. I thought hard, and he was

1306
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: putting himself in the so called conversation. But now he's

1307
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: gonna be out a while. That's fine. I think Yoki

1308
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: is a is a legitimate candidate. At this point, I

1309
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: still think him beat is in the running. I got

1310
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: murdered for saying that, how is Donovan Mitchell not going

1311
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: to finish in the top five? Top five? Certainly right,

1312
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing like we vote for five guys, and I

1313
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: think Damian Lillard is up there too, But right this minute,

1314
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: I would have to give it to Nicole Yokers. But Jason,

1315
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:04,560
Speaker 1: you know how it we're a c NBA is the

1316
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: only sport where at halftime of the season opener we

1317
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: all start talking about mv things. NFL baseball, nobody ever

1318
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: talks about it. In the NBA. We talked about at

1319
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: halftime of the first game, and we talked about all

1320
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 1: the way through the season. Yeah, I think because the

1321
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: regular season so irrelevant, that we gotta talk to m

1322
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: v P because then you get the big names in there.

1323
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: So you got Yokis one, It sounds like Donovan Mitchell two. No,

1324
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put him too. I'll probably put Littard

1325
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: to and be third. I'm putting Mitchell e the fourth

1326
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: or fifth maybe, and then I don't see what happens

1327
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: with hard and he's gonna have to come back and play.

1328
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: One name he didn't mention is Janice. I tried him too,

1329
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: But you know, Jason, the media votes for it. Okay.

1330
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: We love a good story, so we don't want to vote,

1331
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: be honest now as a great time MVP. But like

1332
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: I just said, you have to want to win it.

1333
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Notice how he's being held out of games. I'm not

1334
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: gonna say it's a deep thing. I think that Janice

1335
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with the aggravation of trying to

1336
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: win m VP, even going into the playoffs again. Is

1337
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: that you're honest. He's never been out of the conference

1338
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: finals and he's a three time m v P. I'm

1339
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: not saying he doesn't want to have a great season.

1340
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,959
Speaker 1: I don't think winning the MVP is first and foremost

1341
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: on his mind. I think it's on the mind of

1342
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: Nicola Yokich, that's for sure. Yeah, big, all right, Frank,

1343
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: we'll get you out of here on this quickly. Biggest, big,

1344
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: bigger choker the Clippers this postseason or the Bucks this postseason.

1345
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: All we've been hearing about these teams is oh, yeah, honest,

1346
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: he's so great, Like, can you get to the finals,

1347
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: and then of course the Clippers. You know, the paper clips.

1348
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: I consider them gigantic frauds. But I'm curious who's the

1349
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: bigger fraud of those two teams. Yeah, and I thought

1350
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: last year that Kauai Kauai was awful in Game seven,

1351
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: like he got a bit of a pass. Everybody got

1352
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: on Paul George because everybody seems to pick on poll George.

1353
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: And the big thing to remember now with the Bucks

1354
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: would be, honest, it's not the To me, it's not

1355
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: the three point shooting. It's the free throw shooting. Because

1356
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: he draws fousand in the playoffs. He doesn't shoot well

1357
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. That to me is gonna

1358
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: be the big thing about them. You know what, I'll

1359
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: go with the Clippers because they've never been to They've

1360
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: never been to a conference finals in the history of

1361

Speaker 1: the franchise. So maybe something will happen. Everyone's now is

1362
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: putting it on Rondo, like Rondo will be the difference.

1363
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe one of a good series they'll get

1364
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: knocked out and we'll all blame Paul George and once

1373
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: in here, Io, Sam, did you open the blinds? I

1374
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: think he did. It's a nice Saturday morning out here

1375
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, San Diego. Padres had a no hitter

1376
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: last night, a bunch of guys in the NBA scored

1377
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: a lot of points, and here we are on a

1378
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. It's it's so it's so strange that things

1379
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: are starting to open up. Because I posted a video

1380
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: from spring break again. We were in the desert and

1381
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: we started at a resort where they now have a

1382
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 1: lazy river and like water slides, and all these people

1383
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: line up to get pool chairs and umbrellas in the

1384
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: water slide area, which doesn't open until like I think

1385
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: it's ten o'clock. And all these people line up, you know, adults,

1386
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 1: they want to get the primo spots. Like an hour

1387
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 1: in advance, and what happens ten minutes before you get

1388
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: all these kids who just come up to the gate.

1389
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: They don't want to wait in line, they just want

1390
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: to run. Ohh, I'm not sitting down. I'm just going

1391
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: to the water slide and to get inner tubes. And

1392
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: of course my kids see some of their friends and

1393
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: other kids and they just go up and I'm like, guys, like,

1394
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: that's cutting. And some of the adults cared, but most

1395
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: of them didn't. I will say that there was nearly

1396
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: an altercation over pool chairs because what happens and I

1397
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 1: guess nobody cares about this, but you guys will be

1398
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 1: going on. So everybody wants to just go down at

1399
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: seven o'clock or sixty five, throw some towels on chairs

1400
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and lock them up. Well, they have a rule here

1401
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 1: where if you are not there for ten minutes, they're

1402
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: taking the towels off. And a lot of people still

1403
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: think that they can just go down there at six

1404
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: and lock up chairs. So by I get down there

1405
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: at seven five the first morning, I'm like, damn, there's

1406
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 1: nothing available. This is crazy, and the security goes no, no,

1407
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: these people I've been monitoring, they haven't been here so

1408
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm taking their stuff. I was like, oh cool, you know,

1409
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 1: we got Primo seats. But then I'm like, well, chucks,

1410
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: who's gonna come back and look for their spots? And

1411
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I work out and I'm wearing

1412
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: a tank top, so like, I'm not trying to bring

1413
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: so I I mean, I don't think it's going to

1414
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: be like an altercation. But I see this girl come up,

1415
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: this like teenage girl, and she's on the phone their dad.

1416
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: It's like, Dad, our stuff is gone. I don't see

1417
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: our stuff. And I'm like, oh shucks, he's talking about us.

1418
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 1: So then she comes back, but her mom is with

1419
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: her and they're like standing like six or seven ft

1420
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: in front of me. I'm reading my book, but I

1421
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: have the shades on I could see them and they're like, oh,

1422
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I guess they took our stuff. And so no issue.

1423
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: The next day, it was a dad who came back

1424
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: from Starbucks with his son, and I had gotten two

1425
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: of his chairs and someone else got the other two.

1426
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and the dad comes up and

1427
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 1: he's like, no, no, no, these are our seats, and

1428
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't say anything. The other guy, who was a

1429
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: little sheepish. I was like, well that you got to

1430
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: talk to the security they moved and he's like, no, no,

1431
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: that's and he said horse bleep with his little teenage

1432
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: kid there, and I was like, oh, this guy is

1433
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: a little upset. And I was like, yeah, they said,

1434
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: you know they were moving the stuff. You hadn't been

1435
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: here for a while. And he got like angry. I mean, listen,

1436
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get in a fight at a

1437
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: pool over chairs. But the guy next and he was

1438
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: definitely a little nervous because he's like looking around for

1439
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: some hoping security would bail amount I'm just sitting there reading.

1440
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: The thing is is like, at what point in your life,

1441
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 1: like when you're in a movie theater, you never think

1442
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: you can just go get popcorn and have no one

1443
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: else there. That doesn't work. It doesn't work like that,

1444
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: leave your kid there, even if you leave your purse.

1445
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 1: It's like that person is just gonna put your purse down.

1446
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: You know you can't do that. And and then some

1447
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: lady pipes up and was like, you know, you were

1448
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: gone for like twenty five minutes, and I guess she

1449
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: had like seven chairs locked up. And the guy finally

1450
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: storms off Um, I'm not going to get in an

1451
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: altercation over over bull chairs, but I will say this,

1452
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: things are opening up now. We're starting to get back

1453
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: to normal. Like the guy had pulled down his mask

1454
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: to say, oh, that's just horse, you know, And I'm

1455
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there like I'm not you know, but listen, Uh,

1456
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like we're gonna get back to normal.

1457
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Everybody will be. There are aspects of the lockdown that

1458
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: we will miss. Yeah, no, deth, we we will miss

1459
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: the open roads out here and some of the some

1460
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: of the jerks you come across it at water parks. Yeah, alright,

1461
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: So I didn't get to pour some alcohol out or

1462
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: or orange juice. I should say for Sam Donald, but um,

1463
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,439

1473
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: uh Final four was good. There's always this lull after

1474
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: college basketball. I don't know if you guys feel to

1475
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: say way, like, yes, baseball starts up and it's always exciting.

1476
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,160
Speaker 1: The first couple of games, a couple of tape measure

1477
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: home runs. Did you guys see the video of the picture?

1478
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Who was using the substance and his uh no, no,

1479
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: this was some other picture. I know I Bower got popped,

1480
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: but there was someone else. I don't remember who it was,

1481
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, definitely it was obvious that he was doing

1482
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: something with his glove. And this is baseball. You know,

1483
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: people cheat, and now you got the Masters and there's

1484
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 1: some NBA. It's kind of um. You know, the spring

1485
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: is like a transitional month and when you factor in

1486
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: things opening up after COVID. I don't know if you

1487
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: saw this, and you know, if Gavin and I got

1488
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: this by the censors of the powers that be, we

1489
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: could probably talk about it. But big story in New

1490
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: York and yeah, this probably pertains the sports a little bit.

1491
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: In that state lawmakers passed a budget that raised the

1492
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: personal income tax on individuals. If you make over a

1493
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: million dollars um, your taxes are going way up. And

1494
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: now the wealthiest New York residents think football, think basketball.

1495
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: They will face the highest combined local and state personal

1496
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: income tax in the country, sir, passing California. Oh now,

1497
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend free agency forward too much. Okay,

1498
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: We're still a long way from NBA free agency. The

1499
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: Knicks are playing well. Thibodeau has them, I think eighth

1500
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: in the East, and there is some chatter that maybe

1501
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: they're close to bringing in a free agent and getting

1502
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: back to being the Knicks of old. But there is

1503
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 1: this thing happening in New York. Obviously, COVID hit New

1504
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: York badly. Um and and you know, credit to Gavin

1505
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: he was early on this. The guy uh who Como?

1506
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: What's his name? And yeah, oh no, no, no, I'm sorry.

1507
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: His brother is like on Chris Colem was a brother

1508
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: and like the governor of New York, uh is Andrew Como. Right, yeah,

1509
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: he's a clown. That guy is in deep trouble. Um,

1510
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: and New York just handled everything poorly, right yeah. Um,

1511
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: By the way, do you think Zach Wilson will refuse

1512
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: to go to New York. No, he will not. He

1513
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: will probably live in New Jersey, probably live in Jersey

1514
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: or live in Um. You know that wealthy county right

1515
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: outside of New York City where everybody at Westchester County.

1516
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna live in the city now. The taxes

1517
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: are going through the roof, but cities listen. It'll ultimately

1518
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: bounce back. But I don't think anytime soon. I can't

1519
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: see Zack Wilson living in the city. Um. I don't

1520
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: know if he's married. He's a young guy. But a

1521
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: lot of these athletes, they live in Jersey. It's just cheaper.

1522
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: And I'm just curious as to what's gonna happen now.

1523
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: You do see Florida, um coming out and saying, Hey,

1524
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: New New Yorker's come on down to Florida, no state

1525
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: income tax just three hours away. Florida has always been

1526
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: a great destination for free agents, just as California has been.

1527
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: People like the warm weather. But you know, I even

1528
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: talked about this Arizona. Keep an eye on the Phoenix Suns.

1529
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: And I know people don't want to think taxes that

1530
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: they don't play a part. Guys It definitely is a factor.

1531
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: Think about it. If you're the New York Knicks and

1532
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: the taxes are going up and you're a free agent. Now,

1533
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: I want to take a quick pause in this and um,

1534
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, Colin Cowherd has his new podcast and he

1535
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: had I think it was Maverick harter On recently who

1536
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,720
Speaker 1: was taking some subtle jabs at the guys who are

1537
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: now running the NIXT front office as if to say, hey,

1538
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna steer Michael. He basically was saying, like Derrick

1539
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: Rose was mismanaged early in his career, I'm sorry Alan

1540
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Iverson was mismanaged early in his career, or Iverson would

1541
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: be one of the biggest stars still selling massive shoes

1542
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: the way Jordan does. And it just so happens, of course,

1543
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: that Iverson's early agents are now running the Knicks Leon Rose,

1544
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: and are the Knicks gonna be able to get free agents?

1545
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: So now not only are you kind of battling the

1546
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: tax situation and it this does matter, folks, It really does.

1547
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: Like there's a reason and not just the taxes, but

1548
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: the owner is a buffoon who nobody likes. When was

1549
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: the last time the Knicks got a real good free agent.

1550
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Remember Rip Buker was saying, oh, Kevin Durant going to

1551
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: the Knicks, going to the next I don't even think

1552
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant seriously considered the Knicks. And the NBA is

1553
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 1: better when New York is better. It's the number one

1554
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: media market for TV ratings. The NBA has been missing Chicago,

1555
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: they have been missing New York. Now Brooklyn obviously will

1556
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: bring in some of that, but I don't know how

1557
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: much of that um Brooklyn will bring as opposed to

1558
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: straight up New York like and b has just been

1559
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 1: in some trouble and uh, Ultimately, I think this will

1560
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: be a really good playoffs for the league. But in

1561
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,560
Speaker 1: the off season, the big question will be can the

1562
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: Knicks lure free agents? Now? Can the Jets? Well, if

1563
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: you guys look the Jets draft capital. I talked about

1564
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 1: this earlier twenty one picks. In the next two drafts,

1565
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: they essentially pressed the reset button when they said, hey,

1566
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: you know what we're taking Zack Wilson, Sam Donald, it's

1567
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: over and I'm sure you guys will throw this in

1568
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 1: my face. And what's that um Twitter account? Old takes

1569
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: exposed or cold freezing cold takes, whatever, Yeah, I love Donald.

1570
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be successful. I thought

1571
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: he had a chance to be the first Jets franchise

1572
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in forever. Didn't work out. It didn't help that

1573
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: after one year with Todd Bowles, they fired Bowls and

1574
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 1: you bring in a new offensive coordinator, so you have

1575
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: to learn a new offense. Donald had thirty eight starts.

1576
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: It just didn't happen. For that doesn't mean it can't

1577
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: or won't in Carolina. As a matter of fact, it might.

1578
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: Do you know who the offensive coordinator in Carolina got

1579
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: by the name of Joe Brady. He kind of made

1580
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow at l s U. Carolina was not bad

1581
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,480
Speaker 1: last year. They were not awful. They finished poorly. Bridgewater

1582
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: really struggled down the stretch. But when you look at

1583
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Joe Brady, you look at Christian McCaffrey, you look at

1584
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, who, by the way, played two years in

1585
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: New York with Donald, They've got some weapons on that team.

1586
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I think they lost Curtis Samuel. I don't know where

1587
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: he ended up. Um they lost him in free agency.

1588
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: But ultimately this is a pretty good Carolina Offensei've got

1589
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 1: some talent. I gelt total, Where do you go? Washington? Washington?

1590
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 1: They got Curtis Samuel. I mean, ultimately, you know, DJ

1591
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: Moore is a nice young player. Sam Donald's gonna be okay.

1592
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: But Jason, how can you say that when he sucked

1593
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,560
Speaker 1: with New York. Well, yeah, thirty eight starts, had no

1594
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: infrastructure are around him. Was terrible. Initially, had no offensive line.

1595
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: Then they get like six offensive linemen and free agency

1596
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: last year. Try to throw them together. The Levy on

1597
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: Bell roll was moved with a disaster. Adam Gaze, who

1598
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: I really thought it was going to be good. I

1599
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: really did both believe Peyton Manning when he said Adam

1600
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 1: Gays is a great offensive mind. Personally, I blame Peyton

1601
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Manning for Adam Gays more than anything. He's the one

1602
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: who hyped Gaze and listen, Gays did pretty well in Miami.

1603
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: He got them to the playoffs with Tannehill and um

1604
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 1: Matt Moore after Tannehill got hurt. So yeah, Gaye did

1605
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: all right in Miami, but he wasn't under the microscope,

1606
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: and not as many people were aware of how much

1607
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: of a disaster the locker room was in Miami. There

1608
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 1: was some chatter about it, but it wasn't like a

1609
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: massive story. It was terrible in New York. It was toxic.

1610
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: So you couldn't have Donald with a third coach with

1611
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: the third offense. Like that just doesn't make sense. The

1612
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: GM did not draft Donald. He wants to get his

1613
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: own guy. It's not really that different. Like let's say

1614
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: a radio show program director gets the job, he has

1615
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: in his mind who he wants for his lineup. He

1616
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: may say, I like this guy in Tampa. I want

1617
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: to bring this guy from Des Moines, Iowa. I'm betting

1618
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 1: on these guys. I followed them. I want them to

1619
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,680
Speaker 1: be the guys I ride or die with. And you're

1620
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna sink or swim on your hires. It's no different

1621
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: than an NFL GM. You're gonna be tied to your quarterback.

1622
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is betting that Zack Wilson is going to

1623
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: be the guy the Mormon Mahomes is going to carry

1624
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: the Jets to greatness. Now, obviously they go out and

1625
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: they spend on Corey Davis the number two receiver. I

1626
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 1: don't know if Denzel Mims, a kid and they drafted

1627
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: at A Baylor can be a one. But Douglas drafted

1628
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: him last year. He was hurt. He was I would

1629
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: say a disappointment because he didn't play much. Second round pick.

1630
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: So they're gonna spend probably some draft capital on another receiver.

1631
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean they have twenty one picks. They can take

1632
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: a lot of flyers. You got a new coach in

1633
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: Robert Salah. By the way, is it sala or Robert Sala?

1634
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to pronounce. You think it's Sala.

1635
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: I think it is, but I always end up saying Salah,

1636
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: as do I because you say, how it looks like

1637
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: Baylor had that kid coming off the bench with the

1638
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: mullet Matthew m A y E R. And I think

1639
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 1: that's the same way John Mayer spells his name. But

1640
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: this guy, Matthew Meyer, that's how he pronounced John May

1641
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: spells it with an A. Yeah. And oh, Myers Leonard

1642
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: is also different. Yeah. By the way, he's like out

1643
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 1: of the NBA now after he made those comments on Twitch,

1644
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: I think he made a said like an ethnic slur,

1645
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 1: and the Heat traded him and wherever he got traded to,

1646
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: they cut him. Meanwhile, de Sean Jackson can do the

1647
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: same thing in the NFL traded four. The Rams just

1648
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: brought him in. They said, yeah, we want more of that. Interesting,

1649
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, there's a there's clearly some double standards out there.

1650
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Clearly Leonard Uh, you know, never really did anything in

1651
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: the NBA. He's always been like, oh a seven f

1652
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: who can shoot. He's got potential. But that's my thought

1653
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: on Deshaan Jackson is he's going to give you what

1654
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: one game all the time. By the way, remember when

1655
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: he was dumped by Chip Kelly because of the gang connections.

1656
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember that. I don't actually remember that. Yeah,

1657
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 1: it was Austin Hooper thing or not right right, I

1658
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: will fight and then he said some stuff that was

1659
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 1: very bad. Um yeah, um yeah, I don't know. I

1660
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: took us off there. I random, well I do. I

1661
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 1: think it's interesting. You know the top five quarterbacks that

1662
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: saw the Ringer did this thing where they ranked the

1663
01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: best fifteen uh quarterbacks taken the top five or the

1664
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: past ten years, and the list is pretty bad. Like

1665
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:06,600
Speaker 1: at fifteen you have Blake Bortles. At number one, you

1666
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,840
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton. I think the top three Newton, Cam Newton,

1667
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck Kyler Murray were the best three top five

1668
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: pick quarterbacks because I was thinking Justin was sick. Kyler

1669
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Murray was the third best top five quarterback, yeah, in

1670
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 1: the last ten years because a lot of a lot

1671
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:30,559
Speaker 1: of like Russell Wilson. Yeah, it wasn't top five, right,

1672
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: So Deshaun Watson was not, Mahomes was not. Yeah, so

1673
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 1: a lot of the top five quarterbacks you have like portals,

1674
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: how can you market? What do you mean Jared goffs

1675
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: the league? Well, Kyler Murray has more upside. Jared Goff

1676
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 1: went to a super Bowl, Yeah, but No One playoffs

1677
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 1: multiple times. But that's not because of Jared. He's been

1678
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,600
Speaker 1: good enough. Did you watch his rookie season? He was

1679
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: That was Jared Goff. And then Sean McVeigh comes in

1680
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,679
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean I can't believe you would take

1681
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,600
Speaker 1: Jared Goff over Kyler No, no, no, see that. I

1682
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: would say that's different. I would take Kyler Murray over golf.

1683
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 1: But so far their career, they're not talking. They're talking

1684
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: about the like as a as a quarterback, like as

1685
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: the player, not not their career. I would never take

1686
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton over Andrew luck Well, I think because they're

1687
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: factoring in that. Yeah, he wanted the m v P

1688
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck injury issues and then out of the league retired,

1689
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,519
Speaker 1: you know, so I think I think that's who that

1690
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 1: comes in. It's interesting though, you know, a lot of

1691
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: the best you know, quarterbacks didn't go, didn't go top five,

1692
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 1: and I wonder if there's that chip on the shoulder thing,

1693
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: you know, And that's why a lot like Russell Wilson,

1694
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, um, well you think about it, who's drafting

1695
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 1: in the top five the really bad teams, So the

1696
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: worst teams, the worst owners, the worst situations. That's why

1697
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 1: the Niners make it so interesting. They might be the

1698
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 1: best non quarterback roster in the league, in the league,

1699
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 1: but they have well yeah, you're right before last year,

1700
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 1: but now they have a quarterback, so you picked them

1701
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: out of the mix. And Herbert was not top five, right, No,

1702
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 1: he was number six. That's why I was sitting there going, well,

1703
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, but no, he was number six to U

1704
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 1: two is at the bottom of that list. Joe Burrow,

1705
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 1: you know he was, he was one of the top. Yeah,

1706
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of potential. Yeah, interesting, Yeah, you

1707
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 1: don't really think that most of the best quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers,

1708
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. A lot of these guys did not go

1709
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 1: rady as we know. Huh, I had not thought about that.

1716
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: I swear I know this. My daughter knows this song.

1717
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 1: Mood Okay, thank you? Um you know, I think that

1718
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of how to articulate this. So

1719
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 1: Gavin and I sometimes have some really interesting conversations. We

1720
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,840
Speaker 1: had one earlier essentially about hard work. And I'm not

1721
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:44,719
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and brag about I work hard. Everybody

1722
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 1: works hard. I hope that's the only way to get

1723
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: ahead guys. So, as I said, we just went to

1724
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 1: the desert for a few days for spoon break. I'm like,

1725
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell Fox that I can't do my work.

1726
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: So I talked to cow Hurts people. Hey, I'm gonna

1727
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:04,600
Speaker 1: be at this hotel. Let's run a test so I

1728
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: can do my hit from the hotel. I've got to

1729
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 1: bring my podcast equipment to do straight Fire. And you know,

1730
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: this was a fun little getaway. And the Whites like, listen,

1731
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:19,519
Speaker 1: we need to start planning some summer trips. I was like, listen, okay,

1732
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: I get it. A lot of people want to go

1733
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:22,639
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. We've got some friends there. Now I can't

1734
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 1: say their names because you know, school stuff. We have

1735
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 1: friends going away. They're like, oh, you should come. We

1736
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:34,600
Speaker 1: got this hotel, but it's great, all this stuff, and

1737
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well when And then I look

1738
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 1: at the calendar, Kevin, did you know the NBA playoffs

1739
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: are pushed way back? I did not know that. Yeah,

1740
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 1: Like usually the NBA Playoffs are done like first week,

1741
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: maybe two or June. Right, they're pushed way back into

1742
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 1: deep too. I don't. I mean, what school's out, okay,

1743
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,559
Speaker 1: but I'm down for our industry to have a deeper

1744
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 1: summer of definite because things get really bleak in June.

1745
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: In July, you can't talk baseball three months in. So

1746
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:09,080
Speaker 1: I told the wife, like, okay, I mean we could

1747
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,839
Speaker 1: do that, but I've got to bring my podcast equipment

1748
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. I'm gonna have to do whatever hits they

1749
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: need me to do, because that's the job. Like, this

1750
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 1: is what I got into. Like I like sports also,

1751
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: I really do. And I had to look at what

1752
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 1: time is it in Hawaiian's which is three hours behind California.

1753
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, NBA games usually end it, oh man,

1754
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,639
Speaker 1: So like right before dinner if we go to Hawaii,

1755
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 1: then I'll have to take time to do the podcast,

1756
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: or maybe we could do it even later. Like I

1757
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm this is my way of just saying, like,

1758
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,400
Speaker 1: the only way you're gonna get ahead is just to

1759
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: work your butt off. And I know that people will

1760
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: push back and say, well, I want to have fun,

1761
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 1: I want to live my life good. That's fine. You

1762
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: can do both. You can work your tail off and

1763
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: then you can also have fun. But you can't really

1764
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: really have fun all the time and not want to

1765
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 1: work a lot. Anyone that thinks that we just talk

1766
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 1: sports for a living and we don't work hard. Almost

1767
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: everyone in this business has multiple things going on. You've

1768
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: talked about it before. There's no longer people that are

1769
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:23,959
Speaker 1: just beat writers. You know, usually you're working in multiple

1770
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:27,559
Speaker 1: different platforms, right, you know, a lot of the production

1771
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: staff here have multiple I mean, you've been doing double

1772
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,720
Speaker 1: duty with Gottlib Show for over a month, right, And

1773
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 1: there's other podcasts I work on as well. You yourself

1774
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: have your own podcast. So I'm saying like, yeah, everyone's

1775
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 1: wired differently. Um, but you see it a lot in

1776
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: sports to the guys that put in the most work,

1777
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 1: the guys like the Dwayne Haskins are going to be

1778
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 1: out of the lead quicker. Yeah. My my my son

1779
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 1: was like, you know, boy, dad, like you have a

1780
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: really good fun job. You get to talk about sports

1781
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 1: all the time, you know. He said he was at

1782
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: this resort talking to some of the his buddies and

1783
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: they were talking about sports and he's like, oh, yeah,

1784
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 1: my dad did this and blah blah, and they're like,

1785
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's like the best job ever. I'm like, yeah, Bryce,

1786
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: you understand that a lot of people want this job.

1787
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 1: Thus I have to read a lot, I have to

1788
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 1: pay attention to a lot of this stuff, watch a

1789
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of it, and be original and fresh or you're

1790
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: replaced pretty quickly, you know. And I started looking at

1791
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft and the same thing applies. Like Kevin,

1792
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: You're spot on, like Dwayne Haskins. I mean, good luck, Russell. Russell,

1793
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: Hey you you pointed this out Lamar Jackson, I didn't.

1794
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't follow him on the gram, so I didn't

1795
01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: notice this. But his profile. First of all, he doesn't

1796
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: mention the Ravens in the profile and like his last

1797
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 1: ten posts, no images of the Ravens. But if you

1798
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 1: scroll down, you'll see something. And then he's in his

1799
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: profile picture he's burning some newspaper saying he can't deliver something.

1800
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:05,320
Speaker 1: And I wonder how that contract negotiation is going with

1801
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens because Dak just got forty mills. Lamar has

1802
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 1: got an m v P under his belt. Um, Lamar

1803
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 1: has been in the playoffs three times, He's won one game.

1804
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: Is he a forty million a year guy? You know

1805
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: what Lamar jackson slogan is, nobody cares work harder together.

1806
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 1: And by the way I do, I would give Lamar.

1807
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: I think he's easily one of the most talented players

1808
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and I think everyone has a different path, right,

1809
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: and maybe the same thing that they're talking about justin fields,

1810
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,080
Speaker 1: the progression he's dealing with, maybe some of the same

1811
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 1: stuff with the passing offense. And listen, look at the

1812
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 1: receiver's Dak Prescott got Okay, they went out and got

1813
01:38:55,439 --> 01:39:00,639
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. Who did they get that? Lamar Jackson Marquis

1814
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown like a five ft nine receiver. Come on,

1815
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 1: they did get Sammy Watkins. I think that was which

1816
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: is important. He's a big bodied Yeah, he can go deep.

1817
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 1: But I bring I bring up Lamar because I'm looking

1818
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: at the draft positions and you can bet on the draft. Now,

1819
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 1: this is interesting to me. A lot of people are saying, hey,

1820
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle and Davonte Smith are definitely going to the

1821
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: top ten. DeVonta Smith over under eleven and a half

1822
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 1: is where he could go. Now, I'm I've been steadfast

1823
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,600
Speaker 1: in this. I'm not taking Smith or Waddle in the

1824
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:43,679
Speaker 1: top ten. They are small guys now. Jamaar Chase over

1825
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 1: under is six, Kyle Pitts is five and a half.

1826
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:52,080
Speaker 1: So I right now everybody believes that it's gonna go Pitts,

1827
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 1: then Chase. One of those two could fall. The other one.

1828
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 1: I want to point out that that's super interesting is

1829
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 1: Trey Lance over under six and a half. How could

1830
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,640
Speaker 1: who's taking someone's someone's trading up to get him right,

1831
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 1: and someone's going to four Atlanta spot to get that,

1832
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 1: that would be my assumption. Interesting, who's trading up to

1833
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 1: get a twenty year old quarterback who played in North

1834
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 1: Dakota State and has sixteen career starts. See, Carolina still

1835
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 1: has the eighth pick, right, and they're they're actually expected

1836
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 1: to still take a quarterback even though Sam Donald's there.

1837
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people think that, well, they

1838
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: did pick up Sam's fifth year, so that that could

1839
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,679
Speaker 1: make sense. Right, You you get Donald for two years,

1840
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: Trey Lance ain't gonna be ready, and then get more

1841
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: of a project at quarterback. Yeah, um, interesting. And then

1842
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: the Kyle Pitts thing I would take. You know, I'm

1843
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:54,560
Speaker 1: seeing under five and a half over under five and

1844
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:57,120
Speaker 1: a half. I would take the under on that, I think,

1845
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: because look, he's the he's he's really the best tight

1846
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,280
Speaker 1: end prospect. The drop off is way worse. What becomes

1847
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: interesting is you're right now, I'm rethinking this because of

1848
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: the Falcons trade. Right, if the Falcons take Sewel at four, great,

1849
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,519
Speaker 1: if they trade out a quarterback's going for and then

1850
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:17,759
Speaker 1: a sew will go five to the to the Bengals.

1851
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: Because you said they need offensive line, and they do so,

1852
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: then everybody drops down a peg. Then then Kyle Pitts

1853
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 1: over hits and uh, Jamaar Chase over hits. Now what's

1854
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 1: interesting is plus money for the over on on Pits

1855
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 1: and Chase. Interesting. The cool thing is with these if

1856
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: you can find a book to parlay some of these,

1857
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:45,280
Speaker 1: because some of them you can say, well, will the

1858
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Atlantic Falcons trade out? Well, if that happens, then a

1859
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: quarterback is probably gonna be going there. So you could

1860
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,080
Speaker 1: you could kind of tie some of these together, or

1861
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: you could bet them singularly and just bet, okay, Falcons

1862
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 1: are gonna trade. And first of all, there's in game

1863
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 1: betting in college basketball. They did a lot of that

1864
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 1: in the tournament. You can't in game bet the NFL draft.

1865
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 1: These come down, and by the way, you can't get

1866
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,479
Speaker 1: down a ton of money because you know, I don't

1867
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 1: even think you can get down ten thousand dollars on

1868
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 1: somebody's I don't think you can. Like who will be

1869
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: selected first? Jamaar Chase plus one, three, Kyle Pitts minus one.

1870
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 1: That's saying strongly that Pitts is going um probably four

1871
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: or five. But there is a scenario where if somebody

1872
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:36,960
Speaker 1: trades to four for Trey Lance, Jamaar Chase goes to

1873
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 1: borrow at five, and then Pitts falls to six to Miami,

1874
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 1: but they have Gezeki or Giseki. Uh the tight end?

1875
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: Do you get two tight ends for twa and like

1876
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,920
Speaker 1: make it easy on them just to a push for

1877
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 1: Smith or Waddle? Um, what what is so interesting is

1878
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Justin Fields over Under is three and

1879
01:42:56,439 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: a half. Mac Jones is at eight and a half. Wow,

1880
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 1: they're saying that they think this is a smoke screen

1881
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: and the Niners are really going to take Justin Fields.

1882
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 1: That's on the Action Network. Okay, there are a lot

1883
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 1: of books out there, depending on what state you're in.

1884
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 1: Obviously there's the off shore, there's the locals. Um, yeah,

1885
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm not buying maciel right. Fox Sports Radio has the

Speaker 1: mother FFT and everything bad and you're the worst person

1892

Speaker 1: on the planet and blah blah blah. Is that right?

1893

Speaker 1: Of course it's not right, So why should so he does?

1894
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: You say he's sensitive. I don't have any problem with

1895
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 1: him firing back. He does for his own I'm just saying,

1896
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: for his own psychological well being. Just checking your mentions.

1897
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: Living in that world, it has to be just exhausted.

1898
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine it. Yeah, I used to work

1899
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 1: with somebody who did that, and it was it was exhausting.

1900
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: It's just the negativity around it is just terrible. And like,

1901
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 1: if you're if you don't have um, you know, kids,

1902
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: a wife, you're living with your family, something to take

1903
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 1: you away from that, You're just you're just gonna see

1904
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: that crap all the time. And you fire back at

1905
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 1: these guys and it turns out that they only have

1906
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,680
Speaker 1: like seven followers, yet they've sent a hundred and seventeen

1907
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,560
Speaker 1: thousand tweets and you hang on, Jason, hang on, you

1908
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:36,680
Speaker 1: have been blocked by Kevin Durant Me, No, I have

1909
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:39,640
Speaker 1: you really? Yeah? I guess he listens to the show. No,

1910
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding what that something is. He gives so

1911
01:44:42,720 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 1: much credit to people that are not credible, and I

1912
01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: think that's where the sensitivity comes in. Well, I will say,

1913
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: do you guys want a staggering number? You can actually

1914
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 1: see on Twitter how many people you've blocked? I think, um,

1915
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 1: that you have blocked oh yeah, or have blocked you.

1916
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:04,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could see how many of blocked,

1917
01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: because I really be interested in who's blocked an individual person.

1918
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:09,639
Speaker 1: I don't know where to find this, but I'm telling

1919
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: you I looked this up and I think I've blocked

1920
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: over like people on Twitter. It might be way more

1921
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:19,720
Speaker 1: than that. It's interesting because I have never I have

1922
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:23,560
Speaker 1: a policy that I do not block anybody on Really. Yeah, no,

1923
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:26,639
Speaker 1: it's true. But I'm curious though, I'm not saying one

1924
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 1: thing is better than another. But Jason, what is your

1925
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: criteria for blocking someone on Twitter? I mean, if someone's

1926
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna say something mean or dumb or like I don't

1927
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 1: know them and they're just saying you're an idiot, like

1928
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: I just block them. I don't need that. I don't

1929
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: need to open my phone look on social media and

1930
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:47,680
Speaker 1: see irrelevant Joe with four followers, um, and you look

1931
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: at his timeline and always doing his attacking sports media people.

1932
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 1: He's just like saying the same thing to every single person.

1933
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 1: You suck, You don't know anything, You're the worst bleep

1934
01:45:55,960 --> 01:46:00,040
Speaker 1: you um you were wrong? Like you know? Are do

1935
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: you anything to the conference? My argument would be to

1936
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 1: mute them because when you block them, they think they've won. Right. No, No,

1937
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 1: I do mute as well. But I just think the

1938
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,600
Speaker 1: mute is infinitely more powerful because you don't have to

1939
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,640
Speaker 1: see it, and you don't give them the satisfaction of

1940
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 1: thinking that they got Yeah, but the other the only

1941
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 1: problem with that is then they can still see your tweets.

1942
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: I don't even want them knowing I exist. That's the

1943
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 1: kind of person you are. Okay, I have the number.

1944
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? I've blocked Oh my gosh, yeah,

1945
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean now listen a lot of those were from

1946
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors video. Remember that, by the way, they

1947
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: are Yeah, they hate me in Toronto. Um muted, Oh muted.

1948
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:46,600
Speaker 1: So I've muted more people than i've blocked. Yeah, so

1949
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 1: four thousand people. Just I don't see your stuff. You're

1950
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: yelling at me into a void. I don't care. I'm

1951
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 1: just impressed from a productivity standpoint that you have taken

1952
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,560
Speaker 1: the time to block over two thousand people. You know,

1953
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: easier it is to just block somebody than to actually

1954
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 1: read their stuff all the time. It's like a massive waste.

1955
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: I just realized something because I was thinking about it,

1956
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:14,320
Speaker 1: like what is the demographic of Like how what is

1957
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 1: the male the female split on Twitter? Doesn't it's got

1958
01:47:18,200 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 1: to be right? Yeah, that's pretty wild to think about. Now.

1959
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: I've been on In my nerdy defense, I've been on

1960
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 1: their January two nine, so twelve years. Do you know

1961
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: anyone in your life that isn't in the media or

1962
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: isn't in sports, that is on Twitter? Just a random

1963
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 1: like you have a bank accountant friend jim nance, Oh yeah,

1964
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:43,320
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends. You're not on Twitter. They're

1965
01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 1: not right because I don't know anyone. And none of

1966
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:48,640
Speaker 1: my fiance's friends or my friends, none of them are

1967
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 1: on none of they're not on Twitter. They don't know

1968
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 1: about what's trending. You know. I want to do an

1969
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: experiment this summer. If I dropped it for a week,

1970
01:47:56,640 --> 01:48:00,760
Speaker 1: didn't I deleted the app from my phone? How much

1971
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: time would I be getting back to myself? Because how

1972
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: many times you open it just to check what's happening?

1973
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 1: Any news? Okay, I'm gonna close it. If you do

1974
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 1: five of those pickups a day at three minutes of

1975
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 1: pop fifteen minutes a day, do you know how much

1976
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 1: you could do it? Did you ever finish that book Sapiens?

1977
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 1: This is sad? No, okay, do you know what you

1978
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 1: did last? Honestly, the reason you didn't finish it is

1979
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 1: because you're spending an hour a day on Twitter. If

1980
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 1: you didn't do the Twitter and spend an hour on

1981
01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 1: the book, you finish that book. That's interesting you guys

1982
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 1: are talking about this. I literally just went and do

1983
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,800
Speaker 1: non work Twitter detox about a week ago because I

1984
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:41,719
Speaker 1: was so bad at that. Yeah. No, I've been trying

1985
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: to do that, like just you don't well, I'm off Twitter.

1986
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, not consuming. I want to read more,

1987
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 1: and so I'm trying to consume less television or whatever

1988
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: is internet stuff and and and just do a little more,

1989
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, at least ten pages a day,

1990
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 1: you know. No, that's good. It's just a way to

1991
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 1: do it. It's yeah. Fox Sports Radio has the best

01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: McEntire live from the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studio

1997
01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 1: Call Farmers Today for a quote. So, I still like

1998
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: going to the movies as opposed to um watching at home.

1999
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: But I'm very, very bullish on being able to watch

2000
01:49:40,640 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 1: movies from home, if that makes any sense. Like, I

2001
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: like the idea of a movie experience, but I don't

2002
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: know if I'll be able to go back anytime soon.

2003
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: This is interesting movies with the greatest difference between Rotten

2004
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: Tomatoes and audience ratings. Number one, Star Wars The Last Jedi.

2005
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: I like that movie. It was controversial because it changed

2006
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the history of Star

2007
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:12,679
Speaker 1: Wars and stuff. Captain Marvel, have you seen that? Yeah?

2008
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 1: Any good terrible movie? Awful? Did I'm guessing the critics

2009
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:23,599
Speaker 1: loved it, audience hated it. Bingo Ghostbusters. So what this is, Jason,

2010
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 1: is Yeah, Okay, if this was a different show, we

2011
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 1: would call it the woke Critics, Right, That's what it is.

2012
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,600
Speaker 1: It's the ghost the all female Ghostbusters. I'm sure the

2013
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 1: Oceans eight is probably on. They make um Ghostbusters. I

2014
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:42,400
Speaker 1: tried to watch some of that. It's painful. Yeah, because

2015
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: the thing you want in the comedy is it for

2016
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,639
Speaker 1: it to be funny, and when it's not funny, it's

2017
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 1: not a good movie. Um, Contagion, I don't know Matt Damon,

2018
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that one. Yeah, I think you know

2019
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 1: it contagion. Contagion. I don't know that movie. So I

2020
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,760
Speaker 1: would say, am you know contagion? What? Isaac? Do you

2021
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 1: know contagions? Isaac is not here? What it reminds me of?

2022
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 1: What was that Matt Damon scientist movie or Astronaut he

2023
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 1: goes to the moon or yeah that is good. Yeah,

2024
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: I made me think of it. I don't know. How

2025
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 1: do you not know contagions? It's basically where it's um

2026
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:20,879
Speaker 1: disease comes back from of course Asia and um, Gwyneth

2027
01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 1: Paltrow gets it, gives it to somebody she was married to,

2028
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 1: Matt Damon, um, and it spreads quickly and they have

2029
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: to shut down all this. So is that one where

2030
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,679
Speaker 1: the audience hated it and critics loved it or critics

2031
01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 1: hated it, critics hated it, audience loved it. I personally

2032
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 1: like that. Anytime it's on I watch it. I am

2033
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: very um end of days. I'm into that stuff. Um,

2034
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't really explain why, and I'm

2035
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: trying to understand by the way, have you guys done

2036
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 1: twenty three and me, yeah, you've done it. I mean

2037
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by like where we came from and like

2038
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 1: going back a coup generations what our families were doing.

2039
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,760
Speaker 1: Because there are quirks about me, I'm not going to

2040
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 1: reveal all them on the radio. Then I just don't

2041
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 1: know where they're from. And my brother has the same quirks,

2042
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, at what point in our family's history

2043
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:18,800
Speaker 1: did something happen and that's why this is how we

2044
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:20,679
Speaker 1: kind of are. Do you ever think about that stuff?

2045
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:23,560
Speaker 1: Or not? Really? Not really that so much. Um. I

2046
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:27,800
Speaker 1: was interested in where my family came from where primarily Scottish.

2047
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 1: Actually our name Kinsel actually comes from the Keith clan

2048
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 1: in Scotland, so we actually have a like a crest.

2049
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 1: So my fiance when she was over there over in

2050
01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:42,679
Speaker 1: Scotland and Ireland last two years ago, she was able

2051
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 1: to get me like some memorabilia of my family's crest. Yeah,

2052
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:49,680
Speaker 1: so I had a great key chain for a while.

2053
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: It actually wore off. But yees stuff. So, uh, your

2054
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 1: parents and their parents there here or Scotland, Well, eventually

2055
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: they if you go back far enough, they were from

2056
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 1: Scotland and then emigrated over here. See it's a little

2057
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 1: tougher for us because my family is from the Caribbean

2058
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:09,640
Speaker 1: and they don't keep track of records over like they

2059
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,120
Speaker 1: do here. I was the first born in my family

2060
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:16,560
Speaker 1: in America, so you know, I want to try to

2061
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:18,400
Speaker 1: know as much of I mean, my mom is one

2062
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:22,600
Speaker 1: of nine, and like I met her mom, but I

2063
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:24,479
Speaker 1: never met her dad. He passed away way way back,

2064
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,599
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I never met my dad's dad.

2065
01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 1: I met my dad's mom, and like, just it's tough

2066
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: to go back when your family is not born here,

2067
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 1: and like, I'm just super interested in it. Um. And

2068
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 1: I did wonder, like why am I so into sports

2069
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:43,920
Speaker 1: because neither of my parents were into sports, neither of

2070
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: them really played. And eventually my dad tells me, oh, yeah, no,

2071
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: it's so surprised at all. My dad, my grandpa was

2072
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: like this huge soccer player in the Islands, and when

2073
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 1: like travel to different islands and play, he was into sports.

2074
01:53:57,080 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 1: And hopefully my dad's not listening um, my dad was

2075
01:54:01,439 --> 01:54:03,560
Speaker 1: not good at sports when his dad pushed him into it,

2076
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 1: and that drove a wedge between them, and it was

2077
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:08,439
Speaker 1: like he wanted his kid to be good at sports.

2078
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 1: And I'm like seeing that with my kids and I'm like, Okay,

2079
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:15,920
Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen. Uh. You know, I

2080
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: am still into sports and do a lot of sports

2081
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 1: and show them like you have to be active in this,

2082
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:23,719
Speaker 1: say you can make friends and you know, to be outside.

2083
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:28,200
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know they're into it. But I

2084
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 1: don't think there was into it as me. I was

2085
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:34,040
Speaker 1: never into watching sports that much as a kid. I

2086
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 1: was really into playing sports, played a lot of soccer.

2087
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get into the television like viewing and obsessing

2088
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 1: over sports more until high school. Actually everyone's different. That's

2089
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 1: why you were the comic. Played football. I played football

2090
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 1: freshman yeor and didn't watch football like you know what

2091
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, you struggle to learn like the plays

2092
01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. My dad goes, oh, you should

2093
01:54:57,520 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 1: be a tight end. So I went out for tight end,

2094
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,000
Speaker 1: had no I deal what else? And you made it.

2095
01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: I made it on the freshman team, yeah, which is

2096
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:06,960
Speaker 1: I didn't go into varsity or anything. I mean, make

2097
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:10,160
Speaker 1: a freshen team. That's pretty all right. It's been a

2098
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:13,800
Speaker 1: good show today. Thank you, Gavin, Iowa, Sam, Chris, Isaac

2099
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 1: checking in our social media Maven, I think he's overtaken

2100
01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: you in that role. Sam. He's just Isaac's all over

2101
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:23,720
