00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: at the same time. So in order to get your

52
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,040

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: tournament for them. And and so I've exhausted myself filling

55
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: in as a coach. And the month of Ramadan started

56
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,960

00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: I marvel at you because you're a former offensive lineman.

61
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm I'm just a dude. I'm just a six foot two,

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: five pound dude. And the idea of going six straight hours.

63
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Without food it's terrifying to me. Let alone, what'd you say,

64
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: four forty five in the morning.

65
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 5: break fast at five forty five. Okay, So if we're

67
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: on the air and you hear me just going, yeah,

68
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,640

00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 5: Sahara Desert.

70
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,520

00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: Okay, I have some some dates and I have some

79
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 5: food and some water. You know, nothing too much. It's

80
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: it's you know, look, I've been fast and said I've

81
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 5: been fast and for what forty two years? Since I

82
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: was six years old.

83
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, I mean, ain't got like a bird girl something.

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: Nah. It's like, see what happens is when you're fasting,

85
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: everything looks good. You want to eat everything, but you

86
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 5: can't eat everything because that's a good way to get

87
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: yourself sick. Well as in point, Saturday night, the first

88
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 5: evening of Ramadan, I coached all day. We go to

89

Speaker 5: shout out to resorts, well the beauty, beauty, beautiful property.

91
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 4: And we're sitting down and I'm looking at the menu

92
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh my god, all of this looks amazing.

93
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: So I do something I shouldn't have done. There was

94
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: a pastramimi steak a steak burger. It was a Swiss

95
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: pastrami steak burger, and I was with steak fries and

96
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my god, and I looked. I said, Nope,

97
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna pass by that.

98
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna just move on. I'm not doing it. I'm

99
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 5: going somewhere else. And so I'm looking, I'm perusing the

100
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: menu and I had I was like, oh, I'm gonna

101
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 5: get like the the roasted chicken and the mashed tailors

102
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: and the broccoli, nice healthy, full meal. Then the waitress

103
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 5: comes over. She takes everybody's order, and I'm like, I'll

104
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: take the yearsteak.

105
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: Yeah please. You're like, you're like I opened my mouth

106
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: and it just the words just came out.

107
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: Man, I tell you what I was not.

108
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: My stomach was not ready for that level of meat pauls.

109
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: At that time.

110
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: So it was like, Okay, well you made a mistake,

111
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: so now you have to deal with So you have

112
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 5: to be very cautious. I say that to say you

113
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: have to be very cautious when you break your father,

114
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: especially when you get further into Ramadan. Now's for thirty

115
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: days right after today. I got twenty eight more days

116
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 5: to go. But your stomach shrinks and your body changes

117
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: during that month of Ramadan, So you can't just go.

118
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: I won't get the ribs. I'm gonna get to do whatever.

119
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: You gotta be cautious, eat something small first, and then

120
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: maybe have but you gotta have greens, gotta have vegetables,

121
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: fruits and stuff like that, because you need those nutritions,

122
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: no new nutrients.

123
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: I'm glad you just said what you said, because you

124
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: lead perfectly into where we wanted to start. Because you

125
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: said you made a mistake. You made a mistake with

126
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: the pistrami, with the things and the burger and all

127
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: the things, and you immediately did everything you could to

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: fix the mistake. There's nothing you can You cannot regurgitate

129
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: the pistrami.

130
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 5: No, but oh it's coming out.

131
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: You cannot regurgitate it. And so and so you got.

132
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: You immediately tried to do whatever you could to fix

133
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: the wrong, even though the wrong stands. And I now

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: give you the San Francisco forty nine ers and the

135
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: off season of twenty twenty four and the way they

136
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: handled their wide receivers. They done messed up. They've done

137
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: messed up in every single possible way that they could.

138
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: They spent If you remember the way that the draft

139
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: lead up went last year, right around this time last year,

140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: the rumor started, ooh, the Niners in Ayuk are not

141
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: on the same page.

142
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: They might trade him.

143
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: And then remember when we got closer to the draft

144
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: than it was, actually they might trade either one of them.

145
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll be Ayuk, maybe it'll be Debo. And then

146
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: they didn't. They held on to both, and the off

147
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 3: season unfolded, and that off season encompassed both a restructure

148
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: of Deebo Samuel's contract and when he arrived at Camp

149
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: y oh, we got stories on the daily of how

150
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: he's never been in better shape than he looks like

151
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: he's primed for a career year because he wants to

152
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: shake off the way things ended the year before.

153
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: But not Brandon Aiyuk.

154
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: That thing just got nastier and nastier and nastier all

155
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: the way until it was right up to the start

156
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: of the season, and then he showed up ready to

157
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: go with a brand spanking new way too big contract,

158
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: so that on opening night on Monday Night Football, in

159
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: front of his home fans, he.

160
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Could drop a touchdown. I was there, and the crowd

161
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: was not happy.

162
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: And more more of that ensued for about four or

163
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: five weeks before, unfortunately for Brandon than his leg exploded

164
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: and he missed the rest of the year. So here

165
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: sit the forty nine Ers with thirty million a year

166
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: going to Brandon who probably won't be ready for the

167
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: start of the season, and a restructured Deebo Samuel who

168
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: underperformed at a high level last year, and air Quotes

169
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: requested a trade notice. The forty nine Ers took about

170
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: two seconds to be like, sure, no problem, no problem,

171
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: which means that they requested a trade to and yesterday

172
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: it goes down fifth round pick Washington Commanders. The forty

173
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: nine Ers had one of the highest price receiving rooms

174
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: in football. Remember they also used a first rounder in

175
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: that draft last year on another receiver. And so in

176
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: the end, I look at the whole thing, my man,

177
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, you should have done it. You

178
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: should have pulled the trigger back when you had all

179
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: the jews to do it last offseason. But you didn't

180
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: you held on in the hopes of another Super Bowl

181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: appearance and instead you went six and eleven and now

182
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: the whole thing is blown up and you're selling things

183
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: for pennies on the dollar.

184
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they and we talked about this length last offseason,

185
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: past offseason, about what they should do, and we both

186
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 5: I think we're in the agreements that they should have

187
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 5: traded Brandon aut I don't think they should have paid

188
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 5: him that money because to me, yes, he is a

189
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 5: dynamic player, but he really wasn't the needle mover to

190
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 5: garner that level of pay, especially knowing one of the

191
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: you know, leaders in the backbones of that team was

192
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 5: Debo and you you know, something had to give. You

193
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 5: couldn't keep both, and so look, they chose Brandon. It

194
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 5: didn't work out for him, unfortunately he got hurt as

195
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 5: well as going into the all during the offseason and

196
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: going into the training camp and then the regular season.

197
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: We both were looking at San Francisco like, not quite

198
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: sure if everybody's locked in, based on the Trent Williams situation,

199
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 5: Brandon Nayuk, Christian McCaffrey, it just didn't feel like the

200
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 5: energy coming out of San Francisco in training camp and

201
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: all off season was we're going to win it this time.

202
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: And lo and behold, they don't make the playoffs. They

203
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 5: got a big ticket that they have to cash or

204
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 5: or or write a check they have to write with

205
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 5: Brock Party. Either way, say what you want, you know,

206
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 5: the naysayers or whoever it is, they can say whatever

207
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 5: they want.

208
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: They're going to pay them. They have to pay them.

209
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

210
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: And so now your team, your dynamic of your team

211
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: is going to be different. Like you said, Brandon Nyue

212
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: may not be available at the beginning of the season.

213
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 4: So what do they do downfill is pearsol?

214
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: Is he going to be ready to take a huge

215
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: step forward in his second season after being shot in

216
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: the off season. That was another thing that happened in

217
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 5: the off season in the receiver room.

218
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: Someone got shot.

219
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, unbelievable year in that room. The only thing that

220
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: went well, quite frankly, was Juwan Jennings stepping forward and

221
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: essentially having almost he's a few yards short of a thousand.

222
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: Years play well, play well. Yeah.

223
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: It's it's crazy because you when we talk about paying quarterbacks,

224
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 5: you also have to remember they have to have somebody

225
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 5: to throw to.

226
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: It's difficult. I don't care how great you are.

227
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 5: It's difficult to just throw to nobody's or to not

228
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 5: have someone who can get separation and and and get

229
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 5: open so on and so forth.

230
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 4: And you look at.

231
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 5: That that that roster, in the age of that roster

232
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 5: outside of a young party, it's like, oof, is is

233
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: it getting?

234
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this question.

235
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 5: Go ahead and you can answer after the break, sure,

236
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 5: based on their current roster and the things we know

237
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: they're going to do shortly, will they be better or worse?

238
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: Then?

239
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: Not this past year, the year prior, well, that's nope,

240
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: this past year, let's do it. Then this past year,

241
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: will they be better or worse?

242
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: I will answer that coming up.

243
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: I absolutely will and would love your answer on the

244
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: new look Washington Commanders, who just gave our favorite young

245
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: quarterback another weapon. So we're going to get into all

246

Speaker 3: dates and nuts.

264
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's on the docket.

265
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: Okay, ask your question again about the forty nine.

266
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: Ers based on their current roster.

267
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: Okay, currents which obviously has a lot of work to come.

268
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: Free agency in the draft still ahead, but go ahead.

269
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 4: Do you think they'll be better or worse than they

270
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 4: were last year?

271
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: Well, my initial response is to say better, but for

272
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: multiple reasons. One, I think the forty nine ers got

273
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: a healthy dose of here's what you need to change

274
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: with their roster. They need to get younger. They even

275
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: said so that at the combine. But I'm gonna cheat

276
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: a little bit. The number one reason they're going to

277
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: be better is because they're playing a fourth place schedule

278
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: next year.

279
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,359
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've looked.

280
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: Ahead at their opponents, Nobody good, like almost nobody good

281
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: is on their entire schedule next year, So I don't

282
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: know if that's how you mean it, but their record

283
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: is going to be a lot better than six and

284
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: eleven next year.

285
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: So you believe that based on.

286
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: You know, poor record, easier record, they're going to be

287
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 5: better than six wins.

288
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: Well, that is a big reason. I think that last

289
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: year was marred by all kinds of different things, starting

290
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: with everybody's head just being in the wrong place based

291
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: on a near miss in the Super Bowl, followed by

292
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of players focusing on the finances, Brandon Aiyuk

293
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 3: taking the team and the team going with him on

294
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: just a bad ViBe's journey for the entire offseason. You

295
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: mentioned Ricky Piersoll gets shot, Major injuries start taking place

296
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: right away, Christian McCaffrey surprisingly knocked out of Game one

297
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: of the season, literally we find out hours before the

298
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: season starts and didn't show up until the second half

299
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: of the season.

300
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: The whole thing was just weird. It's just a weird,

301
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: weird role.

302
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 5: So you're considering this a full reset for them in

303
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: terms of getting back to the team that we had

304
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: been seeing the last five years.

305
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that they'll still even though they're rebooting

306
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: a lot, they're going to get like they're going to

307
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: get an infusion of youth, but this they're going to

308
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: have a lot of good veteran players. So yeah, combine

309
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: that with the schedule things that are very unlikely to

310
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: happen again. Yeah, I think that's gonna be a better

311
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: football team next year. Do you not agree?

312
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: I would hope so.

313
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: But I also know what happens when you have one

314
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: of those down years and then you're like, oh, okay,

315
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 5: that was all right.

316
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: We needed that.

317
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 5: We're going to get back to what we were, and

318
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: it can take a couple of years.

319
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,080

320
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,120

Speaker 5: Chicago will be better. Arizona's a tough one, right. You

324
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 5: look at going to New Orleans, Houston, depending on what

325
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 5: Cleveland decides to do with Miles Garrett. It's you know

326
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 5: it in theory, looking at it. It's like, yes, they should,

327
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 5: they should just dog walk this schedule.

328
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,600

Speaker 2: cash behind.

346
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: This could go real bad, real fast.

347
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: Yep, Yep, he's gonna have to play some ball.

348

Speaker 7: Yeah, very easily is that Auburn easily has the best

439
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 7: resume of anybody in the country. This year they're ranked

440
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 7: number one. But if you're looking for future NBA talent,

441
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 7: and that doesn't happen for March Madness as much in

442
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 7: recent years, Cooper Flag is on Duke and their ranked

443
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 7: number two.

444
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: And I will tell you this, there isn't There are

445
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 5: some rumblings that Cooper Flag may stay another year.

446
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: Hey not stand the money is too good in college.

447
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: Now the money is even better in the It's not.

448
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: It's not so.

449
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 5: Look, there's more at play here, right because the shoes

450
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 5: and every I don't want to misspeak and I don't

451
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 5: want to put too much out there, but these X

452
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: shoe contracts, right, it may or not be up next year,

453
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 5: right when niow money starts rolling in their certain obligations.

454
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: Now he's making about six million for this year. That

455
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: could go up, and plus staying in college can allow

456
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 5: him to be a free agent in the shoe department

457
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 5: if he stays another year. Just gonna throw that out there,

458
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 5: I got you. So we know that his rookie contract

459
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 5: is going to pale in comparison to what that is,

460
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 5: because that's just how it goes with the with the

461
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 5: rookie scale and and all that. Now, so I'm just

462
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: gonna throw that out there. There is more money to

463
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 5: be made in the short term playing another year at Duke.

464
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 5: Just gonna put that there, Okay, Okay, I like now,

465
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: guys gonna fly into the NBA anymore.

466
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,159

478
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,320

486
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 5: I't want to give a shout out to somebody like

487
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 5: I coach all over the place, but I really love

488
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: coaching my ten year old and our rec league team

489
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: over where. We we go up there for three years,

490
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 5: we're pretty outstanding. I think we've lost three games in

491
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: three years. I don't know, something like that. Nine ten

492
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: minors and good friend of mine I didn't get a

493
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: chance to draft his son, and we've played them this

494
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 5: year already. We beat them by thirty something points. And

495
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 5: the coach that coaches his son couldn't make it, and

496
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: they asked him to fill in.

497
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: All right, his name Eddie Gordon. And he showed up.

498
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 5: To the game in a suit in like a sports

499
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: coach and a tie like Jim Velbano.

500
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: Like pat Riley in the eighties, Jim.

501
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 5: Like literally NC State right shook up the world like

502
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 5: he's he showed up.

503
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna send you a picture. You're gonna die all man.

504
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 5: He was all business, and I want to give him

505
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: a shout out because we had been beaten teams by

506
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 5: an average of twenty five points.

507
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think one team came within fourteen.

508
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: This year.

509
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: We were five and zero and were going to the

510
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: game and they beat us. They had our number. He

511
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 5: did an excellent job coaching, and he ran around that

512
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 5: gym like Jim Valvano did when they won, and like

513
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 5: literally now, to us, he looked like a fool and

514
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 5: an idiot. But he's also a comedian, so he anything

515
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: for the bit. So I want to shout out to

516
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 5: the principle of comedy Eddie Gordon, for giving me my

517
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: first l this year in our miners wreck team game.

518
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 4: Like he he.

519
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 5: Deserves this shot out because that'll never happen again.

520
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'm imagining like the sports colt this picture right,

539
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: Talk to me.

540
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,160

Speaker 5: They needed was an air of toughness to go with

602
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 5: sensational budding superstar. They needed somebody to bring a little

603
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 5: edge into that that that that huddle and they have

604

607
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,960

Speaker 5: something to him to show out.

609
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: And so.

610
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: Just when I saw that happen, I said, oh lord,

611
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,840

00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: A fifth round draft pick, fifth round draft pick. That's

620
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: it's it's a steal.

621
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 2: Although I'd also say again, in the situation the Niners

622
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: were in, they messed up, but within that they got

623
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: out of it as quickly as they could. And that's

624
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: as that's as.

625
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 3: Good as they could do in this situation, because they

626
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: were they were going to cut him if they didn't,

627
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: if they didn't do this right, they were going to

628
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: end up cutting him and get nothing for him. So

629
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: but yes, the only thing I can think of that

630
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 3: would be any sort and concerns not the right word,

631
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: because this is just one of those quirky things. But

632
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: Jade and daniels rookie season was so good.

633
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 5: It can't he can't duplicate it right, and it's definitely right.

634
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 3: Like this is in the dictionary next to the setup

635
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: for sophomore slump because and I don't even mean a slump,

636
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: I just mean the expectations of Jade Daniels coming back

637
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: for a year or two player.

638
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: Have never been higher. And I don't know how he

639
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: can meet him. I don't even know if it's possible.

640
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 5: It was literally like how great CJ. Strout was, and

641
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: look he was poised to do it again. They went

642
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 5: out and got pieces to have him better. All the

643
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 5: pieces got hurt, Yeah, all the pieces got hurt, left

644
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 5: him on an island. Offensive line play was horrific. I

645
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 5: don't think Washington is doing I think Washington number one.

646
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 5: They went out and got Deebo. They're going to do

647
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 5: more this offseason, this draft. And I think Jason Daniels

648
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 5: he's a little bit more dynamic than c. J.

649
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 4: Strout for sure, And so.

650
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 5: You it's very difficult to like everybody was calling them

651
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson light right, and because he has that love

652
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 5: of oh.

653
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 4: God, what is he going to do? Or we have

654
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: to take that away?

655
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 5: Or oh no, we even if we took that away,

656
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 5: he like he can do all things.

657
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 4: Now.

658
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 5: There is a whole year seventeen eighteen nineteen games of footage.

659
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 5: Defensive coordinators specialize YEP, and breaking down and studying footage.

660
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 4: To eradicate.

661
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: Your abilities to have another year like you did the

662
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 5: year before. For a young player, that's just how it goes.

663
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: And so it'll be interesting to see what they try

664
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 5: to take away from him and how he combats that

665
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: going into next year.

666
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 4: That's the biggest test. That's the biggest.

667
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: Test, YEP.

668
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: And there's always something and right, look, I think he's uh,

669
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 3: I think he's phenomenal.

670
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: But like, yeah.

671
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 3: It's good that you're getting a unique Swiss army knife

672
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: player like Deebo Samuel because he's probably gonna need him

673
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: because that little like just think about it, that little

674
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: like let's do a shotgun. It's fourth and two. We're

675
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: gonna be like the Lions. We're gonna go for it

676
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: every time. And that little like shotgun snap, throw it

677
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: over the middle of zach Ertz for three yards right

678
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 3: like they're gonna.

679
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 2: Be ready this time. They're going to be ready this time.

680
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: And when you get that much attention this quick, it's

681
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: just really really hard to repeat it. But on paperman,

682
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm with you, they look absolutely terrifying right now and

683
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 3: completely stacked, all right. Mark willard E from Salaam, Glad

684
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: you're with us. Coming up next, Lebron James takes a

685
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,640

686
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 3: of the league.

687
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: We'll get into that next.

688
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,000

Speaker 5: dot com the way tire buying should be.

694
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really, especially since he came up just about

695
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: ten minutes ago and you're such a Lakers inside her. Mmm,

696
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: how did and we'll play this for everybody here in

697
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: just a moment, how did it grab you?

698
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: What Lebron James said, when the whole.

699
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: Face of the league debate or conversation, how whatever you

700
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: want to call it, Whenever that came up and It

701
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: started at All Star weekend when Anthony Edwards was asked

702
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 3: if he felt he might be a candidate for future

703
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: face of the league, and he kind of was like, nah,

704
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 3: I'm good, Well go ahead and give that and uh,

705
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: and so things circled in the direction of Lebron for

706
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 3: a reaction to Anthony saying no, thanks, don't need it.

707
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 3: Both of these players, by the way, tipping off in

708
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: a half hour in separate games. But take a listen

709
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 3: to where the conversation went when Lebron was asked about it.

710
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 8: I mean, it's unfortunate, but like, I don't know, when

711
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 8: why do you want to be the face of a

712
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 8: league when all the all to put all the people

713
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 8: that you know that cover our game and talk about

714
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 8: our game or the day to day based on everybody

715
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 8: have that responsibility. That's it's just weird. It's weird energy

716
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 8: from the people that.

717
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 5: You know.

718
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 8: I don't know, but changing he said it, he said

719
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 8: it perfectly, couldn't say it no better. But ant said

720
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 8: he don't want it.

721
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: I didn't.

722
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously I didn't ask for it, but I

723
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 8: knew there's a responsibility for me, not only to my family,

724
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 8: my friends, my community, and and whoever I was gonna

725
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 8: follow my my my journey throughout my career, not only

726
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 8: in Ohio when I started there, but all all over

727
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 8: America and all over the world when I traveled all

728
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 8: over the world. So I've always taken that seriously and

729
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 8: understand and understood from the beginning what what being a

730
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 8: professional was all about and being a role model was

731
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 8: all about. So try to hold that with the utmost

732
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 8: uh respect and honor.

733
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 2: And but.

734
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 8: I feel I understand, I completely understand.

735
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: This is weird energy when it comes to that. How

736
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: does that grab you? Man?

737
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 5: Boo hoo, this whole weird energy, And why would you

738
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 5: want it? If it all they're gonna do is uh,

739
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 5: you know, talk about you welcome to professional sports. Welcome

740
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 5: to professional sports. He agrees with Channing because he hates

741
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 5: the argument that he has to have about him uh

742
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 5: and being compared to Jordan, So of course he's gonna

743
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 5: jump on that side, right because you know, he believes

744
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 5: he's the best to ever play. Of course, there's an

745
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 5: argument for it. People are gonna like Jordan, people are

746
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 5: gonna like Lebron. It is what it is. It's part

747
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: of sport. That's what comes with it now. In terms

748
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 5: of being the face of the league, guys don't want

749
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 5: that responsibility because you gotta walk a tight ship, right,

750
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 5: You have to adhere to things that a lot of

751
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 5: guys don't want to adhere to, and a lot of

752
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 5: sacrifices that guys don't want to make. Being the face

753
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 5: of a league is different than being the face of

754
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 5: the franchise, right. You can be the face of the

755
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 5: franchise and not be the face of the league.

756
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 4: But when.

757
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 5: In the NBA is broadcast around the world, you're the

758
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 5: face that we saw Michael Jordan embrace it in the

759
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 5: ninety two Barcelona Olympics walking down the street and he

760
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 5: just was him on the side of the biggest building

761
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: and at the Olympics at the time. That's being the

762
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 5: face of the league. And so Lebron James has been

763
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 5: the face of the league. He's currently still him and

764
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 5: Steph there's a responsibility there. They've handled it well. So

765
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 5: don't boohoo about it now. You've already done it for

766
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 5: two decades or I'll give you being the face of

767
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 5: the league for fifteen years. So the younger generation, because

768
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: you're still where you are and still doing what you're doing.

769
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 5: Is there a space for Edwards to take over? Is

770
00:44:52,640 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 5: there a space for you know, Jalen Brown, are Luca

771
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 5: or for someone to take over being the face of

772
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 5: the league when you're forty and you're averaging twenty eight still.

773
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 4: Right, Like, there's a difference.

774
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 5: When Kobe was gone and the Duncans were gone, and

775
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 5: you know, all the Shacks and all of those people

776
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 5: were gone. Lebron was there, right, Lebron kd Steph Curry

777
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 5: shot to prominence. These are the flag holders of the

778
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 5: NBA as they should be now the next generation. I'm

779
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 5: sure the NBA will love the face of the league

780
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 5: to be an American born athlete at least, but it

781
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be like that. The NBA wants to

782
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 5: go global. Is global, their TV rights deal is global.

783
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 5: And so if the face of the league happens to

784
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 5: be Nikola Jokic, are Luka Doncic, are Shay Guildris like,

785
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 5: they don't necessarily it doesn't resonate because they're not from here.

786
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 5: And it's never been the face of an American brand

787
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 5: being foreign And I get that, but to say, guys

788
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 5: don't want it because the people who's supposed to be

789
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 5: loving us and showering us with nothing but praise. They

790
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 5: gonna talk bad about you. Oh please, man, come on

791
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,959
Speaker 5: with that now, that that one right there. I wasn't

792
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 5: feeling that take because you know what comes with it.

793
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 5: You know what comes with what you know the level

794
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 5: of scrutiny that comes with.

795
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 4: With that, and so.

796
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 5: To boohoo it and to say that's why guys don't

797
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 5: want to do it is because people are mean to us,

798
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 5: are mean to you.

799
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.

800
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 5: Oh you're making sixty five million dollars a year and

801
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 5: Charles Barkley says you're soft, so you don't want to

802
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 5: be the face of the league. What is happening right now?

803
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 5: That's woman. That's my take. What about you?

804
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: That's a good take.

805
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: I have so many questions and so many things I

806
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 3: want to pick apart with this statement.

807
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 2: I can't even believe it.

808
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 3: I can't believe that I'm sitting here hearing this come

809
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: from Lebron James. First of all, do we actually buy

810
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: the premise?

811
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 2: Do you? I don't do we buy the premise that

812
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: all listen to what he said. All anybody in the

813
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: media does is bleep on us. That's it.

814
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 3: It's like, dude, you got to be kidding me. You've

815
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 3: got to be kidding me. Are you telling me that

816
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 3: Lebron I wish he had a middle name. Maybe he does,

817
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 3: I don't know it, but this is one of those

818
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: where it's like, you know where mom or dad was like, Lebron, blank, James,

819
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 3: get your butt in this room. Do you really not

820
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 3: get enough love? Is that what I'm hearing you say that? Bananas?

821
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 2: By the way, thank you for bringing up the second piece,

822
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: which is that he is the co face of the

823
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: league with another person who. By the way, I don't

824
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: think I've.

825
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: Ever heard any human being in the world say a

826
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 3: bad thing about ever. Have you ever heard someone quote

827
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 3: bleep on Steph Curry?

828
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 4: No? Has this ever happened too much?

829
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? What is your I can't believe this stuff so kind?

830
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: Yes, with the mouthpiece and the chewing, I can't stand

831
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 3: it anymore. Like Lebron, your co face of the league

832
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: has never been.

833
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: Criticized for anything anything. Yet you're yet you're gonna sit

834
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: here and say that that all anybody does is bleep

835
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 2: on the faces of the league. How about one more thing?

836
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: Did you hear him in this quote say I didn't

837
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 3: ask for it.

838
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the cover of did you did you of that?

839
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,959
Speaker 4: Sports Illustrated The Chosen One.

840
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 2: I believe you nicknamed yourself the Chosen One, King James.

841
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 5: You didn't ask for this Uni figure out of here? Man,

842
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 5: that's that.

843
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: Woe is me? Oh boy, no, man, just embrace it.

844
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 4: It is what.

845
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 5: It takes a special talent and a special player to

846
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 5: become the face of the league, because the face of

847
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 5: the league is responsible for ushering the league forward. That's

848
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 5: a lot of responsibility, ushering the league forward. Everybody don't

849
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 5: want to sign up for that.

850
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 3: Well, and the two of them, and there will be

851
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 3: a documentary or many about this someday. You pointed to it,

852
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: the two of them, and I hope he's listening because

853
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 3: I'm about to not bleep on him.

854
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 2: The two of them have done.

855
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 3: An unbelievably epic job.

856
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 2: I mean, they've never got they've never gotten into trouble.

857
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: You have two people who will literally the worst thing

858
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: that either of them have done.

859
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: One of them, once upon a time, held a TV

860
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 3: show to announce that he was going to a different franchise.

861
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 3: By the way, a million dollars was made for the

862
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 3: Boys and Girls Club in the process, and everybody hated it.

863
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 3: That's the worst thing we got on either of them.

864
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 4: Hate the kids. People hate to So so.

865
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, please please stop with everybody bleeps on us,

866
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 3: because I've never heard Steph Curry. In fact, take it

867
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 3: as a sports radio person in the Bay Area, he's

868
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 3: almost difficult to talk about because there's nothing to say.

869
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: There's nothing to say. He's the greatest thing we've ever seen.

870
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: He's the most fun thing we've ever seen. He's the

871
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 3: nicest guy we've ever seen. He's mister perfect. It was

872
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: like for a day two weeks ago, people are like, hey,

873
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 3: he's not going to be in the three point contest.

874
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with this. Should should

875
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: we criticize him?

876
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 3: And instead of being a three point contests, he's like

877
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 3: in the East Bay working with kids. So like the

878
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: whole premise of this conversation, and you know me, neither

879
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 3: one of us sitting here tonight, we don't have an

880
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: ounce of Lebron James hatred in our hearts.

881
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 4: No, no, the guy.

882
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 2: The guy is absolutely unbelievable.

883
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 4: Like him.

884
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: But I but listening to this, I was like, dude,

885
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: are you just having a bad day. There's no way

886
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 2: that can actually be your perspective on this There's no

887
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 2: way that your life.

888
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 3: As as as as epic as it is, there's no

889
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 3: way that that can be your perspective on this life

890
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 3: that you're living.

891
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 2: I can't even my mind is blown by that quote.

892
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah it you know.

893
00:52:55,719 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 5: Look, man, you get in your feelings, you feel like

894
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 5: you know.

895
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 4: The fact that.

896
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 5: Here it is, the fact that he's not universally known

897
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 5: as the best player to ever play bothers him. It

898
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 5: bothers him beyond doubt. He doesn't even have fifty he had, No,

899
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 5: he doesn't. He's not in the majority when it comes

900
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 5: to that. And so, like I said, of course he

901
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 5: was on Channing's fright time ontside when he waxed poetic

902
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 5: about we're comparing our young stars to someone who played

903
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 5: forty years ago. Like no one can, No one can

904
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 5: get out of the shadow of a guy who played

905
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 5: forty years ago. Yeah, that guy today would be clearly

906
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 5: the best player in the NBA today. That guy had

907
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 5: a way about him that was unmatched by any other

908
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 5: offensively and defensively. Now, shout out to Lebron because when

909
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 5: Lebron came into the league, he put the league on notice.

910
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 5: I didn't ask for this, yea. But he put the

911
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 5: league on notice as a teenager, and he increased that

912
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 5: notice his twenty one years in the league. Twenty two

913
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 5: was the twenty two. Now it was track after twenty

914
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 5: yeah something. And so we're in a situation where he

915
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 5: feels like, look, look what I'm doing at forty Jordan

916
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 5: couldn't do it at forty Yeah. No, but Jordan also

917
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 5: liked to drink and smoke cigars.

918
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 4: At halftime. No, I'm just teazing.

919
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: But he did average twenty a game at age thirty nine. Yeah,

920
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 2: I mean he did.

921
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, look it's it's look, Lebron James is a is

922
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 4: a freak.

923
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 5: There has never been a physical specimen with that size

924
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 5: and that speed.

925
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: Of course, of course, and you know Michael Jordan did

926
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 2: nine times though you know what he did nine times?

927
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 4: What do you do nine times?

928
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 2: Play eighty two games?

929
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 5: Talk about it now when they could close line you

930
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 5: and it's just a common foul, by the way, talk

931
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 5: about it now.

932
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 3: Another time he's played eighty one, and another time he

933
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 3: played eighty.

934
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 2: Oh lord, so that would be eleven seasons of eighty

935
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 2: eight RUSS.

936
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 3: Games and that is, whether Lebron likes it or not,

937
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 3: whether that's fair now or not, that is part of

938
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 3: this story that hits fans the way it hits fans.

939
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 3: When you perform, you don't get to decide how the

940
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:07,880

941
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

942
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 4: No, no, that's that's you know. I just think if

943
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 4: these if the Edwards and.

944
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 5: These young stars Jason Tatum's, if they don't want to

945
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 5: take over the face of the league or feel a

946
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 5: certain way about it, then we got a whole croper

947
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 5: international players who will kindly step right on in.

948
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,760
Speaker 4: Amen, who will kindly step right on in.

949
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 6: That.

950
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: That one was wild to me.

951
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 3: And by the way, while we're on this and the

952
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: NBA stars, this is what we can do coming up next,

953
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 3: because widely reported this week that there is an NBA

954
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 3: star who's going to be traded this offseason, and in

955
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 3: talking about that this week, he said something fascinating about

956
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 3: any team that would acquire him.

957
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,160

Speaker 3: right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio App.

977
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 3: So this didn't get nearly as much play as what

978
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 3: Lebron said, But I don't know if you heard Kevin

979
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: Durant visit Draymond Green's podcast, which was interesting in and

980
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 3: of itself because of all the rumors about like, oh,

981
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: Katie didn't want to go back to Golden State because

982
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 3: of Draymond, and then they're hanging out cutting it up, laughing,

983
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 3: having a good time on the podcast this week. But

984
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 3: Brian Windhors reports that Kevin Durant will be traded this offseason,

985
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 3: and that makes sense because the Sun's kind of flirted

986
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: with it and then didn't do it and now the

987
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 3: Suns look awful and they.

988
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 2: Got to move off of him. But has this grab you? Man?

989
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 3: Katie was talking about whoever acquires him, and he's like,

990
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 3: you got to understand, Like, I just didn't want to

991
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 3: move because when I moved to a team, I cost

992
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 3: a lot and it's like a whole new era for

993
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 3: that team, and so I have to be very thoughtful

994
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 3: about where I go because wherever I go, the whole

995
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 3: thing starts over. Well, we were just talking about faces

996
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 3: of the League, and the two guys are forty and

997
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 3: about to be thirty seven, respectively, and they've both reached,

998
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 3: I think a level of awareness Lebron and Steath to

999
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 3: where they're like, we gotta be real careful about how

1000
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 3: much is on our shoulders on a nightly basis. So

1001
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 3: whether it's Anthony Davis, now Luca, the acquisition of Jimmy Butler,

1002
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 3: those guys are really really aware. I think that they

1003
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 3: can't do it by themselves anymore. And that's what made

1004
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: the Durant comment interesting to me, Like, I wonder if

1005
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 3: because I feel that way about Kevin now too.

1006
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 2: Look at his sons.

1007
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 3: They've got these three highly paid players can't win a game.

1008
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 5: No, no, they can't win the game. They're fractured. It's

1009
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 5: a lot of people making a lot of money who

1010
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 5: essentially play the same position. None of them are defensive juggernauts,

1011
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 5: so you can't play off of that. So unless they're

1012
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 5: putting up the shots that they're putting up and getting

1013
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 5: the buckets that they're getting, then it just doesn't work.

1014
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 5: When it happened, I was like, how is this gonna work?

1015
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 5: The Sons got rid of all of their really you

1016
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 5: know three and D guys or defensive guys and that

1017
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 5: energy for scoring. But when you get to the playoffs,

1018
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 5: you got to be able to stop people. I don't

1019
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 5: care who you are, who's shooting the ball.

1020
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 4: And so.

1021
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 5: You look at any big three and someone sacrificed something

1022
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 5: and became a different and better defensive player. The Sons

1023
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 5: don't have that, and so now you're at a situation where, yeah,

1024
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 5: they gonna score some points, but so can the team

1025
01:00:54,520 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 5: they're playing because they can't stop anybody. And you know,

1026
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 5: Kevin leaving Golden State, he got his two championships, then

1027
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 5: he wanted to do something that made him feel good.

1028
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 5: He wanted to play with his friends. They wanted to

1029
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 5: go to New York and do all of those things,

1030
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 5: and they did. It didn't work. It didn't work. Then

1031
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 5: he wanted to go somewhere where it wasn't just all

1032
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 5: about him and he had help. And you know, one night,

1033
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 5: you know, they can score this, one night they can

1034
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 5: score that. And it did and it didn't work. You

1035
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 5: have to remember, I remember listening to Kyrie and Kevin

1036
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 5: Durant when Steve Nash was hired at the Brooklyn Nets,

1037
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 5: and they were saying that it didn't matter if he

1038
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 5: was the coach or not, because some nights I would coach,

1039
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 5: some night KD would coached, all right, right right now.

1040
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 5: Number one, that's just flat out disrespectful. Uh. Number two,

1041
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 5: it showed you mentally where they were whether they thought

1042
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 5: just because they were talented on the field. They could

1043
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 5: win games and it didn't matter who was coaching them.

1044
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 5: Just like us, we're talented on the microphone, but our

1045
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:33,959
Speaker 5: coach runs the show. And that's one Stephen coach Di Sega.

1046
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 7: Coach A Stephen c I thought I was expecting that

1047
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 7: to you once for me and coach for me in

1048
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 7: can I just mention this game, Oklahoma City is gonna win.

1049
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 7: It's a minute and a half to go. They're ahead

1050
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 7: at San Antonio. It's now one forty six. Take the

1051
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 7: three off. I think they're taking.

1052
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 4: No, it's in.

1053
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 7: It's in one forty six to one twenty four.

1054
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 4: What is going on?

1055
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 7: They could have one fifty in this game tonight at

1056
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 7: shay Gilchis, Alexander in thirty two minutes has thirty one points,

1057
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 7: eight assists, no turnovers. His teammate Jalen Williams with forty

1058
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 7: one points in the game. Okase shooting fifty six percent

1059
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 7: from the floor. They're going to go to forty nine

1060
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 7: and eleven. And that's not the best record in the NBA.

1061
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 4: Right now.

1062
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 7: The Cavs have won ten straight. They beat Portland in

1063
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 7: overtime today won thirty three one twenty nine. The Cavaliers

1064
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 7: are fifty to ten and they won without Donovan Mitchell

1065
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 7: today who was out due to rest. DeAndre Hunters scored

1066
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 7: thirty two points. And remember last Friday, Cleveland came back

1067
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 7: to win at Boston despite trailing twenty five to three

1068
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 7: early in the game. Celtics held off Denver today in Boston,

1069
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 7: one ten to one oh three. Celtic's record forty three

01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 7: games start up in just a few minutes. Minnesota does

1078
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 7: have Anthony Edwards available at Phoenix. He was listed as

1079
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 7: questionable with the sore calf. The Lakers, who won five straight,

1080
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 7: do not have starter Austin Reeves out tonight with the

1081

Speaker 7: The IndyCar season opener, which was also on Fox TV today,

1102
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,160

Speaker 7: a long term deal is not reached by the Tuesday deadline.

1108
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 7: Training camps open Monday for the UFL. The spring league,

1109
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 7: which has eight teams scouting combined workouts ended today and

1110
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 7: if you didn't hear yesterday, the forty nine Ers are

1111
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 7: due to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel to Washington for

Speaker 3: Back to you, thank you for explaining that, because a

1115
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 3: lot of people go, hey, why haven't the forty nine

1116
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 3: ers put up a.

1117
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 2: Thank you debo post yet? On social media?

1118
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 3: He already put one up to them, not official yet,

1119
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 3: can't say a darn word. So coming up on March twelfth,

1120
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 3: you'll get that live tire rack dot Com Studios. Hey,

1121
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 3: while we're back to the NFL, I wanted to give

1122
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 3: you your flowers from because Travis Kelce literally used the

1123
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 3: exact same line that you used when I asked you

1124
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 3: a week or two ago, do you think Travis Kelse

1125
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 3: is gonna play again? And you're like, absolutely here, not

1126
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 3: going out like that? And then I saw the thing

1127
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 3: come across earlier this week. He's like, I gotta play

1128
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 3: and I can't go out like that.

1129
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 2: But I know, as we sit here today, this may

1130
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 2: sound silly because who knows how next season is going

1131
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 2: to end, and obviously if the Chiefs put cleats on

1132
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: their contenders, yep, But like the high likelihood is, yes,

1133
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 2: you are going out like that.

1134
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit different when it comes

1135
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 5: to them, Yeah, because it just Patrick Mahomes still there,

1136
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 5: Andy Reid's still there. They'll make some adjustments because they're

1137
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 5: a good organization and they very likely most likely will

1138
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 5: find themselves back in a situation to where they're going

1139
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 5: to compete for you know, a championship again.

1140
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 2: That's yeah, but it's just like you usually lose your

1141
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: last game. That's just like you usually you know what

1142
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean?

1143
01:07:55,800 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 5: Like John Elway didn't right and Jerome like there there

1144
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 5: there's enough guys where those gold Jackets who haven't for

1145
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 5: you to try to script your ending. Peyton Manning didn't

1146
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 5: right like, so you there's a there's enough to where

1147
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 5: you can say I could have I could have seen

1148
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 5: him after this Super Bowl retiring three peate. It like,

1149
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 5: it doesn't get any better than that three peate we

1150
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 5: did it all go off into the sunset, right, it

1151
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 5: didn't happen. But you can't go out with the type

1152
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 5: of game that he played now that he probably didn't

1153
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 5: even realize he can play that type of game, but

1154
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 5: now that he does, he knows what he can't do

1155
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 5: next year and how he has to finish it different

1156
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 5: next year.

1157
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 4: That's called motivation. And what is it? What is what

1158
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 4: is it? What is what is his motivation? What is it?

1159
01:08:59,160 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 4: What is he chasing?

1160
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 5: Well, he's chasing that bad taste out of his mouth

1161
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 5: and sometimes with greatness that's all you need.

1162
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 2: I get it. And I was the one who said

1163
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 2: to you last week.

1164
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 3: I think it's the strangest thing in sports media when

1165
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 3: people criticize guys for continuing to play, Like I don't

1166
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 3: want anybody to retire. If somebody's offering you a job,

1167
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 3: take the job. Who am I to say otherwise? However,

1168
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 3: I like, I'll just point to this. If you put

1169
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars right now on the Kansas City Chiefs

1170
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl next year, you know what

1171
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 3: you get back if you're right six hundred, which also

1172
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 3: is known as they're probably not going to win.

1173
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:54,480
Speaker 2: Like I mean, like, I bet right now.

1174
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 3: I'll take the field and Travis losing the last game

1175
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 3: of his career again next year. And I and I

1176
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 3: say that with full understanding of what you just.

1177
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 5: Said, right, I got you and looks because sometimes it's

1178
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 5: just not up to you, right. Sometimes the U first

1179
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 5: has other plans, as we saw a couple months ago,

1180
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:17,719
Speaker 5: no doubt, no doubt.

1181
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 3: All right, some Shador Sanders stuff that we should get to.

1182
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 3: We can do that at the top of the hour.

1183
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 3: But coming up next to the New York Giants come

1184
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 3: into center focus for two reasons, one because of what

1185
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 3: their experience on hard knocks has led to, and two

1186
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 3: of all the veteran qbs that are out there, which

1187
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 3: one should they be after We'll get to all of

1188
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 3: that coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

1189
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 2: Okay Live tire Reck dot Com Studios. I was just

1190
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: doing some reading, Aphrom.

1191
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 4: I was.

1192
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 3: I was reading up on the eligibility requirements and incoming

1193
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 3: changes to.

1194
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 4: Hard Knocks in the NFL.

1195
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 3: And I don't even know how many people know this,

1196
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 3: Like there's a whole list of things that can sort

1197
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 3: of like help a franchise escape having to be on

1198
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks because they don't really.

1199
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:27,879
Speaker 5: Like it, especially especially after the Giants disaster.

1200
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, especially if you're going to do dumb things,

1201
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 3: let's not.

1202
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 2: Have it be on HBO. And so maybe that's kind

1203
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 2: of what happened.

1204
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 3: Like that's the word that's out there, which is I

1205
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 3: guess Hard Knocks is going to do something with Belichick

1206
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:49,919
Speaker 3: at North Carolina and that's interesting in and of itself.

1207
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 3: But apparently part of this is that teams, after watching

1208
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 3: what the New York Giants went through and have them

1209
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 3: get so roundly criticized for the Saquon Bark fiasco and beyond,

1210
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 3: teams are now more hesitant than ever to go on

1211
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks and I get it, and I was just

1212
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 3: reading about it, and it's actually hard to find a

1213
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 3: team that's eligible in such a way where like the

1214
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 3: league could step in and force them to do it,

1215
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 3: because if you've made the playoffs the last two years, you.

1216
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 2: Don't have to go.

1217
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 3: If you've been on Hard Knocks over the last ten years,

1218
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 3: you don't have to go. And if you have a

1219
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 3: brand new head coach, you don't have to go. Those

1220
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 3: three things cover just about everybody. Like I had a

1221
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 3: hard time finding anybody who doesn't fit one of those

1222
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 3: three categories.

1223
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I don't know.

1224
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 3: Like, how would that have grabbed you when you were

1225
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 3: playing if your whole deal was like a documentary?

1226
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 5: I we I was on the first ever Hard Knocks.

1227
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't called Hard Knocks. It was with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1228
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,799
Speaker 5: It was on the NFL network, and it was called

1229
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:20,839
Speaker 5: training Camp I think, okay, and that was, in my opinion,

1230
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 5: the genesis of Hard Knocks. They came and they spent

1231
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 5: the whole training camp with us, and I did what

1232
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 5: I do, you know, you know, I start to steal

1233
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 5: the show and that I just that's just me, right,

1234
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 5: My wife calls the TV ephram.

1235
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 4: So it just and I'll tell you a quick story.

1236
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 5: I desperately didn't want to play for the Jaguars because

1237
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 5: I went out of spite. I shouldn't have I shouldn't

1238
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 5: have signed there, and I did. It wasn't my style.

1239
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,719
Speaker 5: I was two hundred and eighty five pounds. I didn't

1240
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 5: fit the style of offense. I came from Denver zone blocking,

1241
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 5: very light offensive line. We'll run you to death, to gap, power,

1242
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 5: pull the tackle and guard. You know, it was a lot,

1243
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 5: but it wasn't a fit for me, and so I

1244
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 5: had done I can't I don't want to say this

1245
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 5: because it's I don't think it was. I don't think

1246
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 5: I could get away with that. But I had done something,

1247
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 5: and I I had asked, you know, I wondered. I

1248
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 5: asked myself, I wonder if I got cut, where could

1249
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 5: I go? And I had never been cut before or

1250
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 5: anything like that, but I knew that there was a

1251
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 5: place I could go.

1252
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 4: I'll just say that.

1253
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 5: And so I remember coming into those last the day

1254
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 5: of the last cuts. I remember coming into the to

1255
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 5: the the facility and they had the cameras right there

1256
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 5: at the door, and they were like, hey, how do

1257
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 5: you feel about the you know, this being the last cuts,

1258
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 5: how do you feel about cut day? And I was like, uh,

1259
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 5: did I get cut? And they were like, no, of

1260
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 5: course not. And the look on my face was of

1261
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 5: utter disappointment. And my wife said, if you ever look

1262
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 5: that disappointed about keeping a job in the NFL, we're

1263
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:54,719
Speaker 5: gonna have a problem. So that I was definitely part

1264
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 5: of the first iteration of that show.

1265
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 4: So it was fine, you know, it was fine. It

1266
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 4: was what it was. Where were you going to go?

1267
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 4: Where were I was going to go back somewhere. I'll

1268
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 4: just leave it at that.

1269
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 2: Oh, so I was.

1270
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 5: Going to go back Somewhereuston. I was going to go

1271
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 5: back somewhere. I don't know, Denver. You have to figure out.

1272
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, hot ladder, That's all I know.

1273
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 5: Was it was it a bird or like it was

1274
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 5: another destination? Was it a different animal? No, it was

1275
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 5: a different destination. It was a different animal than the jaguars.

1276
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so not of Texan. Okay, we're getting somewhere.

1277
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 2: We're getting somewhere anyway.

1278
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Belichick on hard knocks at the Collins level will be interesting. Interesting,

1279
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 3: That's gonna be something now now that by the way,

1280
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm super interested to see Belichick handle the media again

1281
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,839
Speaker 3: because it's like, now the whole world knows you actually

1282
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 3: do have a personality build.

1283
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: You don't get to go you don't get to go

1284
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 2: anywhere on the Fensinnati like, you don't get to do

1285
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 2: that anymore.

1286
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 5: No, you gotta because now we know. We saw it

1287
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 5: on the roast, on the Tom Brady Road.

1288
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we saw it every day this last year.

1289
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Guy was on, Guy was on McAfee's show, just crushing

1290
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 2: it on a daily So what's he gonna do for

1291
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 2: an encore? I don't know.

1292
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be interesting. Yeah, it's gonna be fun to watch. Though.

1293
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 5: I think college football needs it as well, So I

1294
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 5: think that's a good look.

1295
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 2: I really me too. And speaking of college football, Shador

1296
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Sanders is not gonna play there anymore, but after the

1297
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 2: combine and here we go the up down nature of

1298
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 2: what's going on on with his draft position and everything

1299
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 2: like that. I am so fascinated by this guy, the

1300
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 2: whole family. I'm a fan of Dion Sanders and everything

1301
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 2: that he's built.

1302
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 3: But obviously, as you know, a lot of people aren't

1303
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 3: and I wonder as he hits the NFL, do you

1304
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:24,799
Speaker 3: think the background and the family dynamic is helping, it's hurting,

1305
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 3: it's both, it's neither. Let's get into that. Coming up

1306
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 3: next with you from salam Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.

1307
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1308

1313
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 3: the way tire buying should be. We are in that

1314
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 3: transitional phase out of the NFL into the NBA, but

1315
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 3: never really letting go of either, and tonight has reflected that.

1316
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 3: From Deebo Samuel to Lebron James, back and forth we go.

1317
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 3: The combine finishes up. And obviously, because of his last

1318
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 3: name and because of his play, Shador Sanders is one

1319
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 3: of the best known college football players, and therefore there's

1320
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 3: always going to be a lot of debate about where

1321
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 3: he should go, what kind of an effect he'll have

1322
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 3: on a team when he gets there. I want to

1323
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 3: make not a comparison, because I don't think that they

1324
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 3: are like at all, But I think the way the

1325
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 3: world processes the situations, there are some similarities. Where you

1326
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 3: have a father who is very boisterous, a very very

1327
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 3: big personality. We've seen this kind of family situation before

1328
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 3: in an incredibly different way, obviously because use LaVar Ball

1329
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 3: was not one of the greatest players at his position

1330
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: of all time, and he was not a head coach

1331
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 3: at all. But I've been fascinated by the way a

1332
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 3: family dynamic that gets a lot of attention can affect

1333
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 3: players on the way in and fascinated by the way

1334
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 3: LeVar made such a big deal about players on the

1335
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: way in and then disappeared and like we've never sort

1336
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 3: of heard from him again. And so I ask you this,

1337
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:35,479
Speaker 3: are there any similarities with regard to that kind of

1338
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 3: an attention before you get to the pros, And how

1339
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 3: do you think that's affecting Shador as this process starts.

1340
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 5: No, I think he's grown up with that level of attention.

1341
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 5: Remember they had a reality show, yes, indeed, so this

1342
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 5: is nothing new for them, the spotlight all of that,

1343
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 5: this is just normal. You know, he was playing Pop

1344
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 5: Warner when he was on TV, right, so the world

1345
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 5: got to see who he was before he was who

1346
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 5: he is, and so I don't think any of that

1347
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 5: has any effect on him whatsoever. It's like you know,

1348
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 5: asking the Karda the youngest Kardashian kids. Oh, I don't know,

1349
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 5: is it because it's gonna be too much?

1350
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 3: Sure he can't. I don't like worry about him handling it.

1351
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 4: What's about the scrutiny? Right?

1352
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 2: Like, yes, I noticed the way others react to him.

1353
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 5: They've been scrutinizing this kid. This kid has been above

1354
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 5: all of that. Now will that translate into the NFL?

1355
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 5: I don't think. I think talent is talent right, Obviously

1356
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 5: he's talented. We wouldn't be speaking about him like we're talking.

1357
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 2: About him if he was in Towners, of course.

1358
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 5: And so how talented can he be in the in

1359
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 5: the NFL? We don't know that. He doesn't know that.

1360
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 5: I know he believes it could be something else. He

1361
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 5: believes it could be something special, as he should, and

1362
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 5: every other player going into the draft or at the

1363
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,600
Speaker 5: combine working out should believe they could be special in

1364
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 5: the league as well. Until you get there and then

1365
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 5: you have to show him proof. That's how it goes.

1366
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 5: You don't go into the league, like I don't know,

1367
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 5: I might not be ready for this. So for the

1368
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 5: detractors and the naysayers, it's a situation where yeah, that

1369
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 5: sounds good, and you know, it's this is life, this

1370
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 5: is football.

1371
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be fine.

1372
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 5: I think his knowledge of the game, his skill set translates.

1373
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 5: The one thing I do want him to do is

1374
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 5: get rid of the ball, because if he holds on

1375
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 5: to the ball like he did at Colorado, he is

1376
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:01,719
Speaker 5: not going to make.

1377
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 4: It through a season and not gonna work.

1378
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 5: And so there are some things that he do he

1379
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 5: does need to to shure up and and fix, like

1380
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 5: all rookies going into the league. But do I think

1381
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 5: this is going to be too big form or absolutely not?

1382
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 5: I really don't. And I don't think the naysayers and

1383
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 5: the noise outside, I don't think that's going to affect him.

1384
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that.

1385
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 3: What what I sort of look at again, it's not

1386
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 3: so much his ability to handle all of this. It's

1387
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 3: sort of the differences with the way others around him

1388
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:41,799
Speaker 3: handle him, and and and I guess what I certainly

1389
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 3: noticed with a lot of young players coming in the league,

1390
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 3: when there's a lot of noise about this player, good, bad, otherwise, whatever,

1391
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 3: just a lot of attention. I think it's what you said,

1392
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 3: talent wins out, and so what I what I look

1393
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 3: out for is when the attention is louder than the talent.

1394
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,599
Speaker 3: And I don't know that to be the case here.

1395
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 3: But for example, let's go back to my comparison I

1396
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 3: made before, which is probably a bad one because it's

1397
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 3: not it's not a perfect one, but I think I

1398
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 3: think my point is wrapped somewhere in there. Lonzo Ball, right,

1399
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 3: the attention outweighed the talent. Now what are we finding

1400
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 3: out later in his career, which has been killed by injuries?

1401
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 3: There is actually some talent there. There is he is

1402
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 3: an NBA player. Without the injuries, he could have been

1403
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 3: a really good NBA player, But it was so overwhelmed

1404
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 3: by noise that what you're setting up is a player

1405
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 3: who can be good and will still be seen as

1406
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 3: a disappointment because.

1407
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

1408
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 3: I don't know how many how many things talent wise

1409
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 3: can meet this level of noise, And so that's that's

1410
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 3: my concern for Shador Sanders. It's almost like people are

1411
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 3: waiting to boo him. Before it even gets there. And

1412
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 3: he still he still.

1413
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 2: Gets to be a rookie and go through his process

1414
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 2: like everybody else.

1415
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 4: You know, it's a lot of bad quarterback play in

1416
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 4: the NFL.

1417
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 2: That too, And so.

1418
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 5: Number one, you gotta have a level of confidence did

1419
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 5: borderlines insanity in order to do this.

1420
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 4: This is real.

1421
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 5: This is coming from someone who had to convince himself that, yeah,

1422
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 5: I do belong and I belonged at a high level.

1423
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 4: For a long time.

1424
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 2: Right.

1425
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 5: I remember being at the combine and I was there

1426
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:53,560
Speaker 5: with Floesel Adams and Trey uh what was Trey Thomas

1427
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 5: from Florida State and Big Flow Flozel to Hotel from

1428
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 5: Michigan State, Victor Riley like all we all played the

1429
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 5: same position. Floso Adams was like three fifty, Big Tray

1430
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 5: was was like three forty five. Victor Riley was you know,

1431
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 5: three thirty eight. I was two eighty two. We all

1432
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 5: played the same position. So you you gotta you gotta

1433
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 5: convince yourself that, oh, okay, yeah, it doesn't matter.

1434
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 4: I belong I it doesn't matter. I don't care what

1435
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 4: my measurables are any of that.

1436
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 5: And so you go into it with that, with that

1437
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 5: level of no, I do belong here. I do belong here.

1438
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 5: So it's you know, it's I get it, I understand.

1439
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 2: Right.

1440
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 5: And so when you look at when you look at that, well,

1441
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 5: just listen to these names. The All Rookie Team nineteen

1442

Speaker 5: ninety eight, Peyton Manning, Fred Taylor, Robert Edwards who was

1446
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 5: seventh round draft pick on that list. Yes, I had

1447
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 5: to convince myself that I belonged. I was crazy that

1448
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 5: I can perform that early.

1449
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:23,559

Speaker 4: On the All Rookie team.

01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 5: Shout out to Ed White, longtime NFL great and tremendous coach.

1454
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 5: He told me and Kyle, I'm going to teach you

1455
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:47,799
Speaker 5: everything you know that you need to know to start

1456
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 5: and be successful your rookie year. And that's what he did, right.

1457
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 5: But that's the level of crazy you have to be,

1458
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:03,879
Speaker 5: whether you got hype or not. And if you believe

1459
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 5: that you're gonna go and and and you're gonna show

1460
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 5: up and show out, that's a heck of it. That's

1461
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 5: a heck of a eleven right there.

1462
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is. It's interesting the way Dion's

1463
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:19,920
Speaker 2: handling it too.

1464
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 3: Though, also, like you watch the Yin Yang and I

1465
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 3: know people think Dion's some sort of a live wire.

1466
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 3: I think he's crazy like a fox. I think he

1467
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 3: understands everything he's doing. And so it's a it's a

1468
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 3: classic build him up, build him up, build him up,

1469
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 3: build him up. And that was going on for a

1470
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 3: long time at Colorado, last couple of years.

1471
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 2: Build him up, build him up. And now you get

1472
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 2: here and you're suddenly hearing Dion go, oh no, I

1473
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 2: would draft that guy over there over my son. I

1474
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 2: might drop that guy over there over my son. Like

1475
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 2: now it's now it's the about face of almost trying

1476
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 2: to real shoot door back in a little bit. And

1477
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, there's a lot of psychology I

1478
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 2: would imagine that goes into it, which is exactly what

1479
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 2: I think you're saying.

1480
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you got to also remember this, this boy

1481
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 5: has been a millionaire his own money, not his father's.

1482
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 5: He's been a millionaire for along three or four years now, right,

1483
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:28,479
Speaker 5: like he's had he's bought his own cars. He bought

1484
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 5: his offensive Lineman up four hundred thousand dollars car. So

1485
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:38,719
Speaker 5: this is a situation where he's made his own money already.

1486
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 5: He's reached a level of you know, he couldn't go

1487
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 5: to class. He had to do all of his work

1488
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 5: at home, right, he.

1489
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 4: Couldn't be on campus.

1490
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 5: So when you talk about how he's speaking in all

1491
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 5: of that, you have to put it in context. His

1492
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 5: life has been different. It's been different. He couldn't even

1493
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 5: move around. He'll have more freedom as an NFL player

1494
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 5: than he did as a top college player.

1495
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 4: And so.

1496
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 5: I personally think he's handling it as well as he

1497
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 5: can because it's a lot. A lot of people can't

1498
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 5: handle that level of scrutiny. Case in point, when we

1499
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 5: brought up the Ball brothers, Lonzo couldn't handle it, but

1500
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:38,640
Speaker 5: Mello could.

1501
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 4: He embraced it. Mello embraced it.

1502
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a different lot in life. Lonzo went

1503
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:49,719
Speaker 3: to the Lakers.

1504
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a tough that's tough place to go.

1505
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 3: Melo went to Charlotte, where everybody thinks thirty one points

1506
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 3: and a twenty point loss is cool.

1507
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, But what I'm saying is he wasn't shining away

1508
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 5: from any of it, because you got to remember he

1509
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 5: also was making money prior to getting into the NBA.

1510
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 4: So it's just different. Your mentality is different.

1511
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 5: You already had a house, you already had a vehicle,

1512
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 5: you already had all the things that you needed.

1513
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 4: So your your your mentality is different. And so.

1514
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 5: This is a new generation of athlete coming in in

1515
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 5: i L We're going to see a lot a lot

1516
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 5: of different levels of athletes. The nil landscape has changed everything.

1517
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 5: Their millionaire is going to be millionaires.

1518
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 2: That's interesting. That's that's a that's a very fair point.

1519
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 5: And so we don't even know what that looks and

1520
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 5: feels like in a bund and you know, we only

1521
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 5: have a small sample size, but that's just going to

1522
01:32:57,400 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 5: be the norm. That's why I made that statement, Like

1523
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 5: Cooper Cooper flag he may stay at Duke here.

1524
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 2: Tell me.

1525
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 5: Look, Matt Lioner was the first to do it. Of course,

1526
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 5: you know, allegedly he was making money allegedly, and so

1527
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 5: he was like, nah, I'm going back. Everybody in the

1528
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 5: world was like come out. He was like, no, I'm

1529
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 5: having a good time. I'm in La there's no football here.

1530
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 5: I'm the talk of the town, and I'm making a

1531
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 5: pretty good living with my summer job.

1532
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 3: I will ask, what do you think he would do

1533
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:39,320
Speaker 3: if he had to do it all over him?

1534
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 5: He would come out. He would come out early because

1535
01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 5: he would have went to a better situation.

1536
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1537
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:48,799
Speaker 5: But the difference is, you know, now, that's completely different.

1538
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 4: It's on the books.

1539
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 5: If someone says, hey, Cooper, we'll give you ten to

1540
01:33:55,400 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 5: come back plus whatever, whatever, whatever. Or you can go

1541
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,840
Speaker 5: be the Charlotte Hornets, are the Detroit Well, well no,

1542
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 5: it's not even Detroit anymore.

1543
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 4: Who is it?

1544
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 9: Uh?

1545
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 5: The Wizards. You can be the Washington Wizards first pick. Brother,

1546
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,360

Speaker 5: can go back to I can go back to Duke,

1548
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 5: I can make more money, I can perfect my craft more.

1549
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 5: Or I can go play for the Wizards.

1550
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, you're making it sound like it's an easy call.

1551
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 5: What I'm telling you is guarantee on the other end

1552
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 5: the benefits. Well, once you sign that nao, dude, that's

1553
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 5: guarantee that that money's money.

1554
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. There's a lot that

1555
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 2: comes along with being an NBA star that like your

1556
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 2: your footprint and your brand.

1557
01:34:55,880 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 3: In today's sporting landscape, it's limited.

1558
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:03,679
Speaker 2: In college basketball, let's.

1559
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 5: Say real it is. But let me tell you this.

1560
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 5: Remember what I said about the shoe thing.

1561
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 2: I hear you.

1562
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 4: I heard all about the shoe thing.

1563
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 9: I hear y'all because it's faint because now if you're

1564
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 9: a free agent, now you have the one hundred and

1565
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 9: twenty five one hundred and fifty million dollar sneaker deal.

1566
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 5: So you not only get paid more for staying, you

1567
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:33,680
Speaker 5: also get a bump when you come in because now

1568
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 5: you're a free agent.

1569
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 4: When it comes to your shoes. Athletes are verticals.

1570
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 5: These athletes are verticals, meaning they're they are their their

1571
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 5: own revenue streams outside of just their sport. So more

1572
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 5: thought goes into exactly this, making these decisions that you

1573
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:53,680
Speaker 5: used to be like, well, I'm going pro so I

1574
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:55,760
Speaker 5: can get do do this, and do that. It's a

1575
01:35:55,960 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 5: it's more nuanced now because now you can make NBA money.

1576
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 5: He will make more in college than he would his

1577
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:07,080
Speaker 5: first year in the league. I got you on top

1578
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 5: of being able to start fresh in the league with

1579
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 5: a brand new sneaker deal. That's something you sit down

1580
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 5: and you talk to your people or your reps or

1581
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 5: whoever you tell it. Right, that's a different conversation. Then, Oh,

1582
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 5: he's just coming out. He wanted, he ready to go

1583
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 5: to the league. He's coming to the league. Two different

1584
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:30,679
Speaker 5: conversations that are happening right there.

1585
01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt about that.

1586
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,799
Speaker 3: By the way, two different conversations about two different teams

1587
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 3: that we've had earlier tonight. I want to compare and

1588
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 3: contrast these organizations. I'm going to give you one basketball

1589
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 3: team and one football team, and you tell me which

1590
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 3: one has screwed things up more over the last twelve months.

1591
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 2: Will unveil that.

1592
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 3: Coming up next with me from Salamo, Mark Weather, and

1593
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 3: this is Fox Sports Radio, Oh Alventhetyranch.

1594
01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 2: Dot Com Studios.

1595
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm kind of half stepping in here because is if

1596
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 3: memory serves, this is a song.

1597
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 5: This is a song that makes me No, I don't

1598
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 5: play by my purple rain.

1599
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 2: This song makes you sing, but you're also about to

1600
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:12,719
Speaker 2: lose your voice.

1601
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 10: You want to see you it the purple rain. I'm

1602
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:27,759
Speaker 10: not to be your we can love up. I'll saw you.

1603
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 10: I saw you change the key out.

1604
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:36,759
Speaker 2: Way through because you're like, no, I don't have it today.

1605
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 2: That was funny.

1606
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 3: That was funny from all right, Mark Mark willerty from

1607
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 3: salam Hey, this is a fun one.

1608
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 4: Let me throw this at you, right. Steve de Saga is.

1609
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 3: Gonna be here in like three minutes. But check this out.

1610
01:37:55,920 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 3: If I were to ask you who messed up their

1611
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 3: roster construction more over the last twelve months, Phoenix Sons

1612
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 3: or New York Jets.

1613
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 5: I would say the Phoenix Sons. Why because the Jets

1614
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 5: still have quality pieces that can be salvaged. The Sons

1615
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 5: do not. They got to burn it down. And to me,

1616
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:39,479
Speaker 5: that's more of a detriment. Like you got Bryce, you

1617
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 5: got Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson, you know the defensive You

1618
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 5: have this there now, if you can clean up El

1619
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,879
Speaker 5: capy Tan, then you got something.

1620
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:05,719
Speaker 11: What what do you have in in in in Phoenix?

1621
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 11: Devin Booker, Yeah, alone, that's it.

1622
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 4: That's it.

1623
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 1: Bowl Bowl.

1624
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 4: I actually like Bobo.

1625
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 2: I know he's starting to play.

1626
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 4: I like Bob you seeing him lately. I like Bobo Bo.

1627
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 2: He is starting to play can play. Yeah, he's firing

1628
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: three's just like his dad used to man, Oh my god.

1629
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 2: The difference is there's a lot of them are going in.

1630
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 4: Yeah he can play, Yeah he's fun.

1631
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,000
Speaker 3: What were I mean? I'm sitting here watching the Suns

1632
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 3: right now. They're leading the Tea Wolves by six, late

1633
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 3: second quarter. Kind of a wonky game so far. But uh,

1634
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 3: but anyway, I'm just thinking about this because obviously Aaron

1635
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 3: Rodgers is on his way out the door. Devantae Adams

1636
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 3: may well be next, and and both of them feel

1637
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 3: similar to me, the Sons and Jets, because both of

1638
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,839
Speaker 3: them got to the end of last year had obvious

1639
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 3: problems with the way that they had constructed their roster

1640
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:15,640
Speaker 3: and doubled down, and both of them held press conferences

1641
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 3: to profess their love for their biggest name and tell

1642
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:23,599
Speaker 3: that person, oh my gosh, we are gonna, we're gonna,

1643
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 3: We're gonna continue to build this thing all around you.

1644
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 3: The Sons did it with Kevin Durant. The Jets did

1645
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 3: it more so with their actions than their words. They

1646
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 3: have Aaron Rodgers and then they went and got DeVante Adams,

1647
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 3: and so there's just constant doubling down of wrong and

1648
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 3: for both of them, it got worse, not better.

1649
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:53,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're shortsighted in terms of building a quality team,

1650
01:40:55,560 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 5: then you missed what you're not paying at time to

1651
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 5: And chemistry has a lot to do with that. When

1652
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 5: you overvalue a certain thing, you tend to undervalue other things.

1653
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 5: And those things are quite important, just as important as

1654
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,639
Speaker 5: us getting to Stephen Disaga on time.

1655
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to let you Mark. I'm not

1656
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 4: going to let Mark run into Steve's time. So without

1657
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,639
Speaker 4: further ado, come to the stage, put your hands together

1658
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 4: for Steven, smooth grooves, disagre.

1659
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 7: Let's go you.

1660
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're my hero.

1661
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:44,639
Speaker 7: I'd like to think I'd like to thank my college acting.

1662
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 7: Oh wrong show. By the way, somebody who used to

1663
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 7: work here did point out on Twitter three hours into

1664
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 7: the Oscar still no best actor, no best actress, no

1665
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 7: best director, no best picture. They started to think an

1666
01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 7: hour early, I guess, just so they could go an

1667
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:04,040
Speaker 7: hour over. Just think you goodness to the NBA. We've

1668
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 7: got two late games tonight. Lakers have won five in

1669
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:08,680

Speaker 7: Clippers fifty four to forty three. Dalton connect with fourteen

1671
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:16,120
Speaker 7: points off the bench for the Lakers, twelve early points

1672
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 7: for Luka Doncich in this one. Austin Reeves Lakers starter

1673
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,839
Speaker 7: out with a stray calf. For the Clippers, Norman Powell

1674
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,080

01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 7: return due to a sore hamstring. The game at Phoenix

Speaker 7: is the other late one late first half Suns up

1677

1678
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,600
Speaker 7: thirteen points for the Timberwolves. He had been questionable with

1679
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 7: a sore calf for this game. He was fine, by

1680
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 7: the way Edward's thirty five thousand dollars for his behavior

1681

1706
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,040

1707
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:16,640
Speaker 7: He's from Pepperdine University in Los Angeles. Jordan Speath was

01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 7: next weekend in Hong Kong. Here's the story. Today's winner,

1711
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 7: Joe Heismith, needed to sink a put on Friday just

1712
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 7: to make the cut, otherwise it would have fit his

1713
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 7: fourth miss cut in six starts. Instead, he made the cut,

1714
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 7: got a tea time for Saturday morning shot sixty four

1715
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 7: Saturday sixty four today and wins his first tour sanctioned tournament. Ah,

1716
01:44:49,760 --> 01:44:54,000
Speaker 7: it is amazing. This guy was scheduled to fly from

1717
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,679
Speaker 7: West Palm Beach today to play in the Puerto Rico

1718
01:44:56,800 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 7: Open this coming week Instead he's going to be play

1719
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 7: against the big boys. Now make a couple hours drive

1720
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 7: to Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which is one

1721
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:09,439
Speaker 7: of those signature events, the first of his career. As

1722
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:11,839
Speaker 7: we brought up on this show, aside from the majors,

1723
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 7: you get huge money on the PGA Tour from the

1724
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 7: so called signature events, which it will be in Orlando

1725
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 7: this coming weekend. By winning today, he's also in the Masters.

1726
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 7: He's also in the PGA Championship. He has his PGA

1727
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 7: Tour cards secure through twenty twenty seven. And he also

1728
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 7: takes home about one point sixty six million dollars for

1729
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:40,640
Speaker 7: winning this and I repeat, he made the cut on

1730
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 7: the number and wound up winning the event, something that,

1731
01:45:45,160 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 7: to say the least, is a bit rare. Apparently three

1732
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 7: times in the last fifteen years.

1733
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 4: Oh, you're saying there's a chance.

1734
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 7: Looking at the money list. By the way, for this event,

1735
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 7: there was an amateur who finished in the top twenty.

1736
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 7: Being an amateur, he will not receive a payout. So

1737
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 7: the other amounts, shall we say, we're adjusted accordingly. So

1738
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,759
Speaker 7: Ricky Fowler, who tied for eighteenth with this amateur, Fowler

1739
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 7: gets over one hundred thousand dollars. This amateur is well,

1740
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 7: let's just say he retains his amateur status.

1741
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 2: Back to you, unbelievable.

1742
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:18,439
Speaker 5: I would be like, hey, I don't want to be

1743
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:19,600
Speaker 5: any good I'm getting I.

1744
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 4: Pay that man his money.

1745
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 3: I bet you guys will agree with this. If they

1746
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,920
Speaker 3: could structure other sports, it's not possible, but if you

1747
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 3: could structure it the way golf is structured financially, don't

1748
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 3: you think that fans and players in sports would have

1749
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 3: like a healthier relationship. And here's what I mean by that. Like,

1750
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 3: you you play well, you get more money and and

1751
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 3: and then more good things happen. If you play poorly,

1752
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 3: you get less money and fewer guarantees and fewer this

1753
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 3: and fewer that.

1754
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,719
Speaker 2: And it's all based on your play.

1755
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,439
Speaker 3: Now, I get it, less so than has been the

1756
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 3: case in years past now with a lot of appearance

1757
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 3: fees and whatnot.

1758
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 2: But like that.

1759
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,160
Speaker 3: Man's life just changed because he went out and shot

1760
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 3: sixty four both days, not because not because somebody gave

1761
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 3: it to him.

1762
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, it's also an individual sport. So yeah,

1763
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's easy when it's just you.

1764
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 2: No, I get it, it's not possible, but because.

1765
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 5: The whole team would have to be structured under that

1766
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:45,080
Speaker 5: same structure.

1767
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 2: Totally totally, But I mean, wouldn't it be fun?

1768
01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:50,679
Speaker 3: Again, this is completely like not possible, but it would

1769
01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 3: be fun if Dalton Connect, for instance, got more money

1770
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 3: tonight because he's out there balling. He got fourteen points

1771
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 3: in the first half. You score more points, you get

1772
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 3: more money.

1773
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that one.

1774
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it doesn't work. I'm just saying that.

1775
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying I don't know if I would like that.

1776
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, I think money being tied to performance in the

1777
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 3: NBA would come with a standing ovation right now, if

1778
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 3: there were a way.

1779
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 2: To do it.

1780
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand that. But they you got to remember,

1781
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 5: they allowed this to get to where it is, right,

1782
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 5: they allowed the collective bargaining and all to get to

1783
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 5: uh now it's out of control. Somebody's you know, player's

1784
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 5: gonna be making seventy million dollars a year, you know,

1785
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 5: sixty eight million dollars a year. It's just gonna grow

1786
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:47,680
Speaker 5: once those first hundred million dollar contracts started happening. Once

1787
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 5: Kevin Garnett did that, he hit the ticket, and then

1788
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 5: they gave they had to give, you know, Chris Webber

1789
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 5: got it, then.

1790
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:56,960
Speaker 4: Juwan Howard got it.

1791
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 5: After Juwan Howard got it, Shack was like, if they

1792
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 5: paid him, what do you think they gotta pay me?

1793
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 2: Right?

1794
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 4: Like on it.

1795
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 5: Once that happens, once you play a marginal Once you

1796
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:12,599
Speaker 5: pay a marginal player, I'll lie Dak Prescott that amount

1797
01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 5: of money, you open the flood gates. And that's what's

1798
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 5: been happening in the NBA since you play marginal players

1799
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 5: max contracts when the actual stars are up.

1800
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,839
Speaker 4: Good luck, good luck.

1801
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, I got you, I got you all right,

1802

Speaker 3: right here in the tyrat dot com studios.

1813
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:11,759
Speaker 2: Davante Adams.

1814
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 3: You heard Steve mention DeVante Adams availability, I got a

1815
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 3: question for you regarding Davante Adams coming up next right

1816
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports Radio tyrak dot com studios. Could

1817
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 3: you be loved if you're Davante Adams, I think you

1818
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:36,880
Speaker 3: can be. Look, I'm not going to pretend that I

1819
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:41,479
Speaker 3: understand all the intricacies of the CAP, and I know

1820
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,559
Speaker 3: most of our listeners don't have a full understanding of

1821
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,160
Speaker 3: the CAP. I just know that it can be manipulated

1822
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 3: just about whenever people want it to be. And I

1823
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 3: think Davante Adams can still really play.

1824
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 4: Of course, you can play right very high level.

1825
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:04,520
Speaker 2: At a very high level. And that's a locker room presence.

1826
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 3: Quite frankly, I want like you and I I know

1827
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 3: we watched that Receiver doc.

1828
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 2: We referred to it a lot and.

1829
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 3: Davante, Hey, he rubbed some people the wrong way and

1830
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 3: some people the right way.

1831
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:21,760
Speaker 2: I thought that was somebody I want in my locker room. Yeah,

1832
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 2: I thought, I thought, you, man, he wants to be

1833
01:51:26,320 --> 01:51:29,360
Speaker 2: on the West coast.

1834
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:34,160
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, yeah, man, Right, doesn't that make all

1835
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 3: the sense in the world.

1836
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:39,640
Speaker 5: I mean, lose one, get one right, right, and you

1837
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:44,800
Speaker 5: need an anchor, by the way, especially now because one

1838
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 5: thing that no one really thinks about with the departure

1839
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 5: of Deebo Samuel, you know what, that wide Receiver room just.

1840
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:57,680
Speaker 3: Became really young. Yeah, really young, really fast. You've got

1841
01:51:57,680 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 3: some accomplished people in there.

1842
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:03,880
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings and Brandon Ayuk aren't brand new, but they're young.

1843
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 2: And Pier Saul.

1844
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:13,680
Speaker 3: I want somebody not named Brandon Aiyuk to to uh

1845
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 3: and Pierceaul and Brandon are boys. I like, I get it.

1846
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 3: They had some college time together, so I boy, I

1847
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 3: just think I think DeVante Adams to the forty nine

1848
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:25,879
Speaker 3: ers makes too much set.

1849
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:30,040
Speaker 5: Too much sense. Let's hope hopefully they're they're listening. That's

1850
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 5: the way to do it, right, yep. Oh, I think

1851
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,639
Speaker 5: that that would be so good for Brock Party too.

1852
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 5: Oh they need it for Brock Party. That makes sense

1853
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,680
Speaker 5: for Brock Party. And I'm sure Brock Party is like, hey,

1854
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 5: can we do this, guys? Yeah, big year for.

1855
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 2: Him, big year for him, huge year for him.

1856
01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:50,599
Speaker 4: This this is this is the everything year.

1857
01:52:51,040 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 3: Well, and I wonder, look, obviously it's the lynch pin

1858
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 3: and it's what everybody's waiting on. And I've predicted for

1859
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,960
Speaker 3: a while that this will be on the quicker. I

1860
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 3: was listening to some people from the Combine who know

1861
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:06,440
Speaker 3: what they're talking about, and they're like, look, quarterback contracts,

1862
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 3: they just they take a while.

1863
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,280
Speaker 2: It's not like the Packers and Jordan Love.

1864
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 4: Didn't know that they right exactly the right.

1865
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 3: They knew everybody was on the same page, and that

1866
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 3: thing still bled into training camp. But I just think

1867
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 3: that the forty nine ers are in a weird spot.

1868
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,560
Speaker 3: After the year that they've had and all of the discord.

1869
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 3: And I'll go ahead and tell you this. I think

1870
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 3: you're probably assuming it, but I'll confirm it for you.

1871
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 3: There are plenty of people in that organization with some

1872
01:53:36,479 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 3: serious buyer's remorse.

1873
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 2: With regard to Brandon Nyuk. Yes, they are really frustrated

1874
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,000
Speaker 2: with the way that whole thing went down, some of

1875
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,880
Speaker 2: it at him and some of it at themselves. But

1876
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 2: there's a lot of frustration.

1877
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,519
Speaker 3: There and I just don't think they can go through

1878
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 3: another dramatic.

1879
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 2: Offseason. I just don't think they can do it.

1880
01:54:00,640 --> 01:54:04,439
Speaker 5: They need to be locked in and focus on getting

1881
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 5: back to where they were and who they are more

1882
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:13,479
Speaker 5: so than anything, Who are we? I think that's the

1883
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 5: most important part.

1884
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, are we? Are we looking at a

1885
01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 2: brock pretty extension get announced this month?

1886
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:23,640
Speaker 5: I would say so, yeah, because everybody knows it's going

1887
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 5: to happen. So it's one of those situations where you know,

1888
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 5: I'm interested to see what it's going to be because

1889
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:32,680
Speaker 5: you know, is Brock one of those guys who's like, look,

1890
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 5: I don't want to take all the money, but I

1891
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 5: want a lot of it, right, I want I want

1892
01:54:40,200 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 5: enough of it, But I'm not going to take all

1893
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 5: of it, right, that would be in my opinion.

1894
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 4: And look.

1895
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 5: They do oh okay, he's played for free for three years.

1896
01:54:58,120 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 5: And so it's a situation where they might be like, look,

1897
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 5: not sixty, We'll give you fifty five.

1898
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 4: Plus, we'll buy your house.

1899
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:08,920
Speaker 2: Right.

1900
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 3: Well, you, by the way, you know this better than many.

1901
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 3: That number that everyone's fixated on means nothing. No, it doesn't.

1902
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 3: It's the structure, and it's a structure of the deal.

1903
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 3: Guarantees will give you.

1904
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 5: We will guarantee eighty percent of it. Eighty five percent

1905
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 5: of it fully guarantee.

1906
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 2: Oh I actually would bet that it will be less

1907
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 2: than that.

1908
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:36,320
Speaker 5: No, but that's what I'm saying because they owe him. Right,

1909
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 5: if you bring a year number down and you guarantee

1910
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:47,240
Speaker 5: eighty five percent of it, Okay, Okay, that way we

1911
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:51,200
Speaker 5: can go get Davante Adams. That way we can go,

1912
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 5: you know, get a backup to Christian.

1913
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the Niners are swimming in cap space

1914
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 3: in the near term, and I know that they just

1915
01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 3: for And again, I don't want to get into the

1916
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 3: whole nuts and bolts of it, because I think it's

1917
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:07,640
Speaker 3: confusing to people but the Deebo Samuel cap hit was

1918
01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 3: going to be spread out over two years, and now

1919
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 3: it all goes to one. So instead of basically, you know,

1920
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 3: him being like a seventeen or sixteen million dollar cap

1921
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 3: hit this year, now it's double that.

1922
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:22,959
Speaker 2: But they save.

1923
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 3: Money in the long run, and they were loaded with

1924
01:56:26,720 --> 01:56:30,120
Speaker 3: cap space already for this year, so it doesn't really

1925
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 3: hurt their pursuit of others. I think is the easiest

1926
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 3: way that I can I can say it, and that's

1927
01:56:36,520 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 3: why I think that there could be something that works

1928
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:45,560
Speaker 3: out on the DeVante Adams front or elsewhere. Boy, there's

1929
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 3: a lot of good receivers open this offseason. There's a

1930
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 3: lot of action at that position, and obviously it's all

1931
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:56,760
Speaker 3: tucked into I think something.

1932
01:56:56,520 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 2: That you and I talked about a lot this season,

1933
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,360
Speaker 2: which is went burst, didn't it?

1934
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1935
01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 3: You know, Cooper Cup, Deebo, Samuel, Davante, Adams, Tim Wiggins.

1936
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 2: Nobody's You're not getting thirty five million, no, Jamar Will.

1937
01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 2: That's about it. That's about it. Yep, yep.

1938
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 3: Rams might be the other spot for Davante, by the way,

1939
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 3: that'd be the other spot. Yeah, that'd be good, wouldn't it.

1940
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 3: My goodness, they'd be danger Yeah, now that now that

1941
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 3: Stafford is staying, they'd be dangerous. You made it, man,

1942
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 3: I did you did it? I did eight and all. Now,

1943
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 3: once you get back from Vegas.

1944
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:46,600
Speaker 5: By the way, I drove home, drop my family off,

1945
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 5: and drove to the station.

1946
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:49,839
Speaker 2: Like you didn't even shower.

1947
01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 4: I drove home, drop my family off.

1948
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 2: Did you Did you get out of the car or no.

1949
01:57:57,080 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 4: I'd switched cars from my truck to the car. That

1950
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 4: was it. I came right over. But I'm a professional.

1951
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,800
Speaker 2: You did it. You did it, and we're gonna do
