1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: What is up, Drake Fire, Bayam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: Straight Bowyer for Tuesday, November the fourth. It is election day, everybody.

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: I know we don't really do politics on this podcast,

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: but go out and do your civic rite and vote

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: and I'll leave it at that. We'll get back to sports.

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: We're recording this after midnight on the East Coast. I

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: just watched the Dallas Cowboys just embarrass themselves. Gosh, they

9
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: look so bad. Arizona thumps them. Arizona coming off the by.

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: Do you remember two weeks ago on the pod, guys,

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: I talked about, Man, those first batch of teams coming

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: off the bye, they look good team largely, not everybody.

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: Teams that have come off the by have looked fresh,

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: have looked like they've gotten new tweaks. And in Arizona

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: defense was everywhere tonight. I mean it just they look

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: more prepared. And I that's one thing I did not

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: handicap in. I did a nibble on the over. It

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: did not come close to hitting because Dallas didn't score

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: an offensive touchdown till late in the third quarter. I

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: guess we can shelve Dax MVP candidacy. Just a quick note,

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: You guys know, I abhor vehemently the MVP discussion this

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: early in the season. It really is goofy, and as

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: I think I articulated on the Herd or maybe here

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: or both, like, it doesn't get real until December, and

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: then it's all about the marquee standalone games, which the

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: NFL wisely has. Remember they can flex games. They get

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: the best quarterbacks, the best teams doing battle on Sunday night,

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: sometimes Saturday night, Monday night, and so given that, like

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna come down to the good teams playing in

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: those games. Like it is odd that every time you've

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: seen the media and social media pump up quarterbacks, Bro

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, he's got to be the MVP. It's like, Bro,

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: we're six weeks in and then he gets his ass

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: kicked by the Detroit Lions. You know, Daniel Jones, he's

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: playing an MVP level. Come on, Like, he just had

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: five turnovers against the Steelers and you could toss Dak

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: in the mix. He was pretty rotten. I wasn't doing it,

38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: but Patrick Mahomes was considered the MVP. Like it's just

39
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: very weird. How once this these narratives get out there,

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: you almost have to fade the quarterbacks. So does that

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: mean we got to fade Sam Donald next week against Arizona.

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: It's good because now the hype train is out of control.

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: And again, I don't know how it's weird like it's not.

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: There's not a direct line as to how that works.

45
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: I think it's more kind of the betting public, right public.

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Here's Sam Donald. Sam Donald watched Sam Donald Sunday night football.

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: Well you gotta bet him. Well, now the line's inflated,

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: and lo and behold, guess what when the chips are down,

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: Arizona shows up. Same thing just happened with Dak Prescott.

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: You know everybody was on Dallas, everybody. I mean this

51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: one from two and a half to three and a

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: half when Kyler Murray went out. What does it say

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: We'll get to Kyler Murray shortly? But you know what

54
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: does it say that the drop off from Kyler to

55
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett is one point? And I think that's gonna shrink.

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: But just I guess real quick on the game, I

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: think this not seals the fate of Dallas. I don't

58
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: want to get to Dalton on you shout out to

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: roadhouse f with Dalton and he'll steal your fate. But

60
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: it just it felt kinda like Dallas had a shot

61
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: to get back in the in the bounce back from

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: that Denver loss, and now you lose to the Broncos

63
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: and Cardinals back to back. You're gonna beat the Raiders

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: next week almost certainly, but after that, guys, it's a rap.

65
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Okay Eagles, I know they played them tough early, but

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: that will not be easy. Then they but they have

67
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: a buy and then the Raiders, then the Eagles, then

68
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, so it goes Eagles four days later, the Chiefs,

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: then the Detroit at Detroit versus Minnesota, which could be

70
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: popping back. I think that's at least three or four

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: more losses. So you're now getting at eight or nine losses,

72
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: and I don't think that's going to be enough to

73
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: get Dallas a wildcard berth not in the loaded NFC.

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: As I'm recording this, the TV is showing the end

75
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: of the Lakers Portland game, and historically when I talk

76
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: about games and record the podcast at the same time,

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: you guys tend to like it. I'm just gonna say

78
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: the l eight Lakers are stealing one in Portland. No Luca,

79
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: no Reeves, no Lebron, and the Lakers are absolutely cooking.

80
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: They are going to take down Portland in what is

81
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: a massive shocker, folks. I mean, I don't know what

82
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: to say. I don't know what to make of these Lakers.

83
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't just go into Portland. And Okay,

84
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: that was kind of a joke, but the Lakers were

85
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: I think nine and a half point dogs, and I

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: came close to betting Portland because all the Lakers were out.

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: They were on a back to back. I mean Nick Smith,

88
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: Nick Smith twenty five points, folks. Nick Smith was left

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: for dead around the league. People he played. He was

90
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: drafted in the first round and uh, I guess Charlotte

91
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: gave up on him in like two years. He had

92
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: an injury history. He was the number one recruit in

93
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: the country. Dude's got twenty five points in twenty four

94
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: minutes against Portland in what is just an awesome victory

95
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: for the Lakers. They moved to six and two and

96
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: now it's facing women Yama big Vic Wednesday at Staples.

97
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 2: I don't know if I will be there we'll see.

98
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's go back to the NFL now.

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: So I briefly touched on Dallas, which you know, I

100
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: think they're pretty much done. Oh let me add this,

101
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones. You know, I don't want to say the

102
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: wrong thing. He's the most powerful owner. You know, I

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: don't want to get on his bad side. But let's

104
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: just be real here. He's hanging out with Stephen A.

105
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: Smith and his booth. Why because that ensures that he's

106
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: going to get on TV more and get talked about

107
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: on ESPN, like, dude, are you that desperate? You're a billionaire,

108
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: what are you doing? And then it gets worse, so

109
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: again the Dallas offense can't do anything. The defense once

110
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: again gets destroyed. Bland was just roasted by Marvin Harrison

111
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: Junior all night and then after the game of course,

112
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: because you know the owner's last GM just needs the cameras.

113
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: He just absolutely is like a magnet. No, no, I'm

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: like a moth to a flame. And instantly he's you know,

115
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: going to the media and talking, well, we got we

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: got a trade, it's done, it's there if I want it.

117
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: He just this is very uugh, very Trumpian of him

118
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: to just always be in the news, doesn't matter what

119
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: happened onto the next one, you know. And just like

120
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: this is an embarrassing home loss to the Cardinals, folks,

121
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: I got a couple SATs for you. So Arizona was

122
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: the only team in the NFL without a drive of

123
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: seventy four or more yards this season, only team. What

124
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: does that say? They can't consistently drive the ball down

125
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: the field, whether it's penalties, turnovers, just general ineptitude. The

126
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: Cardinals stink. So now their backup quarterback against Dallas takes

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: them on back to back drives of seventy four or

128
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: more yards for touchdowns against the Cowboys. Like this Dallas

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: defense is there with the Bengals. And remember early in

130
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: I think it was September, maybe August. Basically I was

131
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: calling Dallas the Bengals the of the NFC. All offense,

132
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: all gas, no breaks. The problem is they're not always

133
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: getting thirty eight points. At least January, Joe Flacco's back

134
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: there slinging it to Chason Higgins and putting up major points.

135
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine those guys getting black. I'm

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: talking blanked by Arizona at home for two and a

137
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: half quarters. That was stunning, And so Jerry Jones, of course,

138
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: is trying to quickly change the subject to some trade,

139
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: as if he's got a trade that's going to materially

140
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: change things. I mean, hell, if anything, Dallas may consider

141
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: being sellers at the deadline, which is today. I think

142
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: it's today at four pm or something like that. Like

143
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: it just doesn't really make sense. But nothing makes sense

144
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: with Jerry Jones. He's made the Cowboys a reality TV show, right,

145
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: That's what he cares about. He wants to be a

146
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: reality TV show. Always in the headlines. You know, he's

147
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Love Island meets you know whatever. That show with Glenn

148
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: Powell is where he like dresses up as a football

149
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: player and tries out for some college team. I don't know.

150
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: I don't know the premise of the show. I've seen

151
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: a million commercials of it, but it's like they're just

152
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: not a real serious football operation.

153
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: They're not.

154
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, trading Michael Parsons right before the

155
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: season was idiotic and moronic and I don't want to

156
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: hear well, we're gonna have more bites at the Apple.

157
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: The process of that deal was just so dumb and

158
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: now you have all this money investing in dak What

159
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: are you gonna do with Pickens?

160
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Now?

161
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: If you're the Cowboys, I'd love to hear from Cowboys fans.

162
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: What's the movie here? You want to sign him? So

163
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: then you really becomes the Bengals. And by the way,

164
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: how's that working out for Cincinnati? You can't stop anybody.

165
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what you do with Pickens?

166
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: Do you? I mean I don't know that you trade

167
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: him at the deadline? Is are you gonna get anything

168
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: in return?

169
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

170
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: I just Dallas is an absolute mystery and a joke.

175
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: The best part of it is two people in our

176
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Survivor took the Cowboys. So here here are the numbers.

177
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: My buddy sent me the text. So started with two

178
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: thousand and fifteen entries at one hundred of pop. You

179
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: can do the math. I'm not gonna say anymore. There

180
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: are two hundred and seventy four left and we are

181
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: one of them. I haven't done them. Calculation on what

182
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: it's worth are our entry. But yeah, I feel like

183
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: we're in good shape. We got good teams left. Almost

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: certainly we'll be on Denver this week on Thursday Night Football.

185
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: And how's this stat on on the Broncos from my

186
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: guy TA thirty one teams have played on Thursday Night

187
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: Football following an overtime game, like the Raiders, they are

188
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: six and twenty five against the spread since two thousand

189
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: and if you take those teams going on the road

190
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: after an ot game on Sunday, there are three and

191
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: sixteen against the spread. Now, obviously against the spread doesn't

192
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: totally matter, but in Survivor it's just win in advance.

193
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: So you know, rolling with Denver, obviously I'll get nervous.

194
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: The Gino Smith for the first time in a weeks

195
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: or months shows up, brock Powers goes nuts, and because

196
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: the Broncos are looking ahead to the Chiefs, they get

197
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: caught napping like the Green Bay Packers just did. Is

198
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: that possible? I don't know. My hope is Sean Payton

199
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: does not let that happen at home, having to go

200
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: to altitude after being on the field so long. I mean, listen,

201
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: everybody's taking the Broncos. We're not at the point where

202
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: I'm like it's state secrets yet, Like, if you have

203
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: the Broncos, you're almost certainly using them because there just

204
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: aren't a lot of options this week. All right, let's

205
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: pivot to the Arizona Cardinals and give them their dom.

206
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: So my guy Ben Garcia, we've had him on the

207
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: pod and he does all all those snazzy videos that

208
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: I do. He's like my my tech video guy. He's awesome,

209
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: and so he would for the last year and a half.

210
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: Get on my case. Oh, Kyler Murz better than Brock Purdy.

211
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: Come on, Jay, Kyler Murray number one. Pick he's better.

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: And a lot of people think that because he's the

213
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: number one. Kyler's better. Now Brock Purdy has been hurt,

214
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I'm getting some weird techs from

215
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Niner fans saying, like behind the scenes, everybody's saying that

216
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: this Brock thing is not ending anytime soon. So shout

217
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: out to my brother. I told him to pick up

218
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: Rock Purty in fantasy because when he comes back, he's

219
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: gonna cook. And I don't know that he's coming back

220
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: this week. It's bizarre, but I think What is even

221
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: more bizarre is the fall of Kyler Murray. Again, this

222
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: guy was the most ballyhooed high school quarterback ever. I'm

223
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: fairly certain in Texas high school football lore he is

224
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: considered the goat. And I'm not just saying that. I

225
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: believe he was undefeated in his career, won multiple state championships.

226
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: He was just so fast and accurate that nobody could

227
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: stop him. I mean, he was drafted number one overall

228
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: in NFL, but he was also a big time baseball prospect.

229
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: And he goes to Oklahoma and wins a Heisman Trophy.

230
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Actually started at Texas A and M, and then he

231
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: transferred to Oklahoma and then he won the Heisman. And

232
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, the guy came into the NFL. He

233
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: wasn't amazing out of the gate, took a lot of sacks,

234
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: but he was the rookie of the year and they went

235
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: so they went five, five, ten and one, eight and eight,

236
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: and then nine and five with Kyler and made the

237
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: playoffs that year. Twenty twenty one was the year where

238
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: Kyler was getting roughed up by Aaron Donald in that

239
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: playoff game. The Rams smashed him and allegedly Kyler Murray's like,

240
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: that's I've had enough. I'm not going back in. I

241
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: can't do it allegedly, Okay, since that loss, and that

242
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: was after that, I'm pretty sure i'd have to check.

243
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: But Cliff Kingsbury was a coach I don't remember. At

244
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: some point he got run off and I thought it

245
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: was unfair to Kingsbury. By the way, he's bounced back

246
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: in great shape in Washington. Obviously, this year hasn't gone great,

247
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: and it's it's not like it's Cliff Kingsbury's fault. That

248
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 2: defense everybody knew was a paper tiger, and nobody's healthy

249
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: on offense. But after that playoff year, here are the

250
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: records for Kyler Murray in Arizona three and eight, three

251
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: and five. Yeah, he's missing a lot of games, eight

252
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: and nine. Last year, no playoffs, they totally melted down

253
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: the stretch, and then this year he's only played in

254
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: five games. So we're talking about a guy who's and again,

255
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: quarterback records are just one stat. He's ten games under

256
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: five hundred as a quarterback in his career. He's very accurate.

257
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: But when you look at some of the stats like

258
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: yards per attempt, they've gone down in recent years, and

259
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: that year they made the playoffs seven point nine yards

260
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: per atten, so he was like actually throwing the ball

261
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: down the field. And then in recent years he started

262
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: to run less, which remains a mystery. I don't know

263
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: if it's injury related or fear or the coaches wanted

264
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: him in the pocket. Either way, he's not nearly as

265
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: effective when he's not running. I know, we love to

266
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: talk about Trevor Lawrence as a bust. Everybody loves that.

267
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if Trevor Lawrence is a bust, what does

268
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: that make Kyler Murray?

269
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: Now?

270
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: I know, Kyler Murray wasn't considered as generational as Trevor Lawrence.

271
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: He was more in the Andrew Luck category than Kyler Murray.

272
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: But everybody loved him. And it's weird he gets some

273
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: kind of free pass when I don't know, guys, I

274
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: look at Kyler Murray. He's never thrown more than twenty

275
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: six touchdowns in a season. I mean, you see all

276
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: these jabbronis online go after Troy Aikman because he didn't

277
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: throw like forty to fifty touchdowns. Kyler Murray's not. She

278
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: hasn't thrown twenty seven in a season. I mean, he

279
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: takes way too many sacks. I just I've never I

280
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: haven't seen it. I defended Kyler ury early in his career.

281
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: Feels like an eternity ago and I stopped. And now

282
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: you get the situation where Jacoby Brissett comes in, looks

283
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: really good and nearly beats the Colts, and then Jacoby

284
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: Brissette comes in. I mean, there's it's unclear why Kyler

285
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: was not healthy this week. That was the projection coming

286
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: out of the by and Jacoby Brissette looked good, and

287
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissette got the job done and Arizona picked up

288
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: a nice win. I mean Brissette, the number is twenty

289
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: one to thirty one, two sixty one, eight point four

290
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: yards per attempt. And oh, by the way, he was

291
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: sacked five times, two touchdowns, no turnovers. He did fumble

292
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: once but recovered it clearly connecting with Marvin Harrison. Junior

293
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: Trey McBride was a monster against the Colts. He's down

294
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: his top two running backs. So basically, I know people

295
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: don't like Jonathan Gannon. They've just they've had some unlucky

296
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: results this season. They're three and five. Arizona is but

297
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: they are down to their third string running back in

298
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: de Marcado, right, because Benson's out and Connor's out, You're

299
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: down to your backup quarterback. And these are your losses.

300
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: You lost a one by San Francisco at the buzzer.

301
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: You lost a three by Seattle, I think on a

302
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: field goal with the buzzer, or I was at Thursday

303
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: night game. Seattle was in control of that. Let me

304
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: see what happened at the end. Yeah, Seattle won a

305
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: five field goal with the buzzer, but Seattle was up

306
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: twenty six in the fourth and then and then kind

307
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: of collapse. So they lose to sanfran at the buzzer,

308
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: Seattle at the horn. They lose that devastating game to Tennessee,

309
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: which knocked me out of the big money fantasy league

310
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: with Baker, Big Money Survivor league. Sorry with Baker, that

311
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 2: loss should have never happened. Tough loss to the Colts,

312
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: tough loss to the Packers, but covered and now beat

313
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. So you're losing the teams like forty nine

314
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: Ers are one of the best teams in the league.

315
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: Record wise, Seattle has the best record in the NFL.

316
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: The Titans lost I'm not gonna get a start there

317
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: Colts seven and two, and the Packers are leading their division,

318
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: so their losses are to one to three division leaders

319
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: and the Niners who are on track to make the playoffs,

320
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: and they're all close games and Kyler Murray hasn't really

321
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: been a part of any of it. It's like, wow, huh,

322
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: what do you do? Do you do you trade Kyler

323
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: Murray in the offseason? I mean the easy answers, yes,

324
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: But here's the tough answer. Who wants him? Give me

325
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 2: the market for Kyler Murray? Okay, if just the macro

326
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: zoom out, big picture number one overall pick. When he's running,

327
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: he's super dangerous, he is tiny, don't know how he's

328
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: gonna hold up in cold weather, has not historically played

329
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: well in cold weather. And you know, the work ethic

330
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: has been questioned in Arizona. So that's more than a

331
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: bunch of negative stuff. But I'll go through the teams

332
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: where I think there could be a fit for Kyler Murray.

333
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: So obviously, the Patriots are set, the Bills are set.

334
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: I think the Biamy Dolphins are going through a full

335
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: on rebuild, and I cannot imagine that they would swap

336
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: Tua out in Kyler, Like, that doesn't really make sense.

337
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening the Jets. Everybody keeps mentioning them.

338
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: Let's just be real, guys. They just tried this with

339
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. It failed spectacularly. They'll be drafting in the

340
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: top three and they'll take a quarterback. I cannot envision

341
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: a scenario where they would go for Kyler Murrie and

342
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: then he'd play in a division where he's got to

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: play road games at Buffalo and New England as well

344
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: as play in you know, New York for the Jets.

345
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: So like, none of that makes sense. Steelers are interesting.

346
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: I think if Rogers hangs them up, Tomlin's not gonna

347
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: want to draft a quarterback in the first round. We

348
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: saw that Kenny Pickett thing went. I wonder if Kyler

349
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: makes sense there. But again, these cold weather outdoor games

350
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: for a warm weather quarterback who's at his best in

351
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: a dome, he'd have to go outdoors to the Bengals, Browns,

352
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: and Ravens and play home games. None of that makes sense.

353
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: Like he's not a running court like Lamark can handle

354
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: the cold weather that's been evidenced. Kyler cannot, so I

355
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: don't think any of those teams makes sense.

Speaker 1: listen live.

360
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: The Colts seemingly have their guy in Daniel Jones. I mean,

361
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: obviously he did turn into a bit of a pumpkin,

362
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: and maybe the wheels fall off there, But as of now,

363
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: I don't see the Colts. I don't that maybe could

364
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: happen later. Obviously, not the Jags. Obviously not the Texans,

365
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: although you know, I don't want to be rumor starter guy,

366
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: but there's some chatter out there that his agent is

367
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: the same guy who got Micah out of Dallas. And

368
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, is there a world where CJ. Stroud, unhappy

369
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: in Houston, forces his way to a different team somewhere else.

370
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: I don't have the answer to that, but Stroud has

371
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: weirdly just regressed. I don't have anything concrete on it,

372
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: but something seems up in Houston. Tennessee just drafted Camp Moore.

373
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: They're not going for Kyler. Denver has bo Nicks. Justin

374
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 2: Herbert is still alive. Patrick Mahomes and then you've got

375
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: the Raiders. So the Raiders are probably going to be

376
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: drafting high. But Pete Carroll is you know, close to eighty.

377
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Is he going to want to draft and develop some

378
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: guy or say, you know what, Kyler can come indoors

379
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 2: for us at deliver I know by the way Chargers

380
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: play indoors. So you only have two outdoor teams, Denver

381
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: and Casey. Is there a world where Kyler in Vegas works?

382
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Maybe?

383
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 2: So I would put it maybe by the Steelers if

384
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: they move on from Rogers, and then may be by

385
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 2: the Raiders. NFC gets tougher because you never want to

386
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: really trade a number one pick in the conference. Looks

387
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: really dumb if he runs rough shot over the league

388
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: and gets to the super Bowl. But Eagles, no, Cowboys,

389
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: no Commanders, No. I feel like the Giants love Jackson Dart.

390
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna definitely give him another season. Jordan Love No,

391
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: Jared Goff, no, Caleb Williams.

392
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: No.

393
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to push Minnesota. But that's basically just any

394
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: time JJ McCarthy has a bad game, well they could

395
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: replace him. Guys. They had Darnold and Daniel Jones in

396
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: the building. And decided I want JJ McCarthy. They're gonna

397
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: give him a chance. He's had three starts. We got

398
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: to back off JJ McCarthy. Tampa, No Carolina, probably no.

399
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think Bryce Young's been amazing. But

400
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: they are five and four and in the wild card hunt.

401
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: Pennix in Atlanta, New Orleans is interesting. But again, like

402
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: the Jets are drafting top five Seattle and now you're

403
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: in your own division Seattle. No. Rams, probably not. But

404
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: if Stafford walks away after the season and there's a

405
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: glaring hole, now I don't know that that fits. The

406
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: McVeigh less sneed quarterback. They liked their quarterbacks, big armed

407
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: and big individuals, Goff and Stafford, So the Rams probably,

408
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: you know. And then the forty nine ers, you know,

409
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: they paid Purty, so there isn't a big market. And

410
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: I went through all the teams just for this reason.

411
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if Arizona just said fit, we're

412
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: just gonna cut him and swallow the dead caphit the

413
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: same way Russell Wilson was cut by the Broncos and

414
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: they swallowed the dead cap hit. And Matt Ryan was

415
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: cut and the dead cap pit was swallowed. It's not

416
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: as punitive as it once was. And I would I

417
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: would say, I don't know. I would go seventy five

418
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: percent trade, twenty percent, cut five percent back in Arizona.

419
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: I just I don't see this marriage lasting much longer.

420
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: Let me quickly pivot to college basketball. You guys know

421
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: I love college hoops. Holy hell, was there two good

422
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 2: games in college basketball? So they started a season opposite

423
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: Monday night football. Obviously not smart. But the good thing

424
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: is they had a couple games in Vegas, Arizona took

425
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: down the defending chimp Florida Gators. And I'm just telling

426
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 2: you this kid for Arizona. I had heard about him

427
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: in high school. Co O pete koa pea t my gosh.

428
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 2: I saw a little Benkaro in him, a little boozer,

429
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: even a little Elton Brand not to go to duke heavy,

430
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: but he's just a menace around the basket. I mean,

431
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: this guy's got skills. He had thirty in his debut

432
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: thirty points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals. I mean

433
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: he can do everything. Florida, by the way, won the

434
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: national championship and has a lot of guys back and

435
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: has veteran Biggs and Pete was just an animal inside.

436
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, Now I didn't see him shoot a three.

437
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: Box score has him not shooting at three, so maybe

438
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: there isn't that range which would limit him a little bit.

439
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: But I mean he looked like a slam dunk top

440
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: ten pick to me. In his UH College of Basketball debut,

441
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: the Nightcap featured Who's basically this kid and it's interesting.

442
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: He's a great story. I've read so much about him.

443
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: His name is A. J. Debanza, and he was like

444
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: this ballyhooed high school kid and you're like, how the

445
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: heck does he end up Brockton, Massachusetts? How does he

446
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: end up at BYU? Well, b Yu's got a really

447
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: good team. They're a legit Final four contender, and Debanza

448
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: appears to have the chops to be like a top

449
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: three pick. He reminds me a little bit of Tracy McGrady,

450
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: not as three point happy, really wants to drive. He

451
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: had twenty one, six and three, and there was a

452
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: stretch where you know, Villanova got back, they took the lead,

453
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: and this guy just takes over. Debansa is just a

454
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: He's a warrior. I like his game. I mean just

455
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: watching those two like it was a great night, the

456
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: two games of college basketball. Then you had the NFL,

457
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: then you had the Lakers. And by the way, the

458
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: Lakers game is now over. The Lakers were able to

459
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: take down Portland steal a win in Portland. Are the

460
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: Lakers now six and two? Oh my gosh, Lakers are

461
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: six and two. Lebron has yet to play a game.

462
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: They didn't have Austin Reeves. Jake Loradia is becoming like

463
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: a folk hero in LA. But I didn't realize this

464
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: till my buddy texted me. This was a DeAndre eight

465
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: and revenge game. Remember Portland bought him out eight and

466
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: twenty nine and ten. Tell me he stinks he went

467
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: at clinging. Who else was I don't even really know

468
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: who was playing center for them? Yeah, Robert Williams, he

469
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: just ate those guys up. Awesome, awesome performance. I don't

470
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: know why. The Asian kid Yang Hansen, I don't know

471
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: why he's not playing. Has he played a game yet now? Yeah,

472
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: he's only really getting garbage time minutes. He's like a

473
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: preseason superstar for them, the seven foot guy, seven foot center.

474
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: But overall, just a great win for the Lakers, and

475
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: I'll say this, I'm this Nick Smith kid. The Lakers

476
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: know how to find these gems. Charlotte cut him after

477
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: two years. He's twenty one years old. Hit twenty five

478
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: points in six assists, five of six from deep Brownie.

479
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: James played really good minutes. He had six assists in

480
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: nineteen minutes. I'm just saying, like I know, Jason, you're

481
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: getting crazy as the Lakers stop with this la nonsense.

482
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: This team looks good. I mean Ruey, yeah, Austin Reeves,

483
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: Luca wait till they get Lebron back. Now. I know

484
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: the schedule has been favorable, but like this Nick Smith guy, man,

485
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: if he can contribute a little bit, you go go

486
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 2: look up some of his highlights and read about him

487
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 2: when he was in high school number one recruit in

488
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: the country. So, like clear, the skill set is there.

489
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: Now it's weird. In high school he was listed at

490
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: like six five or maybe it was at Arkansas. He's

491
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: now six to two. He did not shrink three inches.

492
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: They're just in flight heights. But the kids got some skills, man,

493
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: and they just unleashed him a little too much one

494
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 2: on one. But you need that guy. You need to

495
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: get a bucket guy sometimes while we're on the NBA.

496
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: Really nice game winner from Giannis. Bucks continue there winning ways.

497
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: Poor Pacers keep it in real guys, they will not

498
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 2: be going to the playoffs this year. I know it's

499
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: very early, but it's just I guess something happened to

500
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: my guy out of Arizona. Who's Ben Matherin? I don't

501
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: see him in the box score. Listen, you started losing

502
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: games as early I stopped paying attention. Also a team

503
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: to watch. Boston Celtics lose to Utah Celts only three

504
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: and five. It's basically the Jalen Brown Show. They're a

505
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: tough watch right now. My adoption, did Houston Rockets quietly

506
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: move to four and two. I've always chicken box scores

507
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: just because I love hoops, But like it's getting bleak

508
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: for Dallas. Two and five, No, A d Cooper flag

509
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: is just not ready to be a point guard. So

510
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: now they're putting Max Christy on the ball a lot more,

511
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: and he had a good game, but it's gonna be

512
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough one for Dallas. I don't

513
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: know that they're a playoff team. I will say the

514
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: sneakiest best team that I've seen this season is the

515
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons because Cave Cunningham is just everywhere all the time,

516
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: and I like that guy a lot. I'm gonna save

517
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: John Morant for tomorrow. When Rob g comes back, we'll

518
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: chop it up. But it's John Moran situation is getting ugly.

519
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: Had more comments and we're negative. After the loss to Detroit,

520
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: I would say he's gonna get traded, but I don't

521
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: like Kyler Murray. I don't know what the market is.

522
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: All Right, we're back tomorrow. I'll talk to you then.
