8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, our three, we finally had Dana White.

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: He's busy. He's in New Orleans. UFC three eighteen. That's

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: gonna be a great.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Card highlighted by one of those classic fights. Canmemrwyn McGregor

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: and Nate Diaz would meet two and three times and

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you're like, Saturday, you knew what you were gonna be doing.

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: And I think we got Dustin Fourier, who who's one

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: of the all time most likable fighters, most interesting, most

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: entertaining against Max Holloway.

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: They're meeting for a third time.

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to waste Jana White's time.

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: He's the CEO in the UFC President.

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: He is joining us live from New Orleans, and we

21
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: appreciate his busy guy. So what's interesting in the history

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: of UFC. The best fighters I've ever seen are John Jones,

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: who was unbelievable in his prime, and I think Kabebe

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: who made even Connor McGregor look completely upmatched. But Dustin Pourrier,

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: who fights Holloway tomorrow, is one of the more entertaining, likable,

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: interesting guys. He's on that second tier of guys that

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: when he fights, I have to watch. Did you envision

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: him when you found him being this great, this captivating

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: for this long Dana.

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: Who Max and Dustin? I mean, yeah, yeah, Well you

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 4: never know.

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: You never know.

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: Obviously, you know when he first faced Connor, they were

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: really uh early in their careers, and and Connor won

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: that fight. Uh, And you never know how a guy

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: is going to bounce back from a loss. But if

37
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: you look at Poorier's last eleven fights, I mean, it's

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: it's all been straight killers, and seven of them are

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 4: former world champions.

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 5: So he's absolutely.

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: A very special fighter, as is Max Holloway, which is

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: what makes this fight so intriguing, and.

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: The history of the UFC, nobody's landed more strikes than Holloway,

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: and the poree will sit in the middle of the

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: ring and throw blows. Is you know what's interesting about

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: your sport? And I was talking to a member of

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: the staff. When Caitlin Clark came to the WNBA, they

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: weren't prepared for it. They weren't well run, they weren't

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: well organized. She's overwhelmed them. The officiating's bad. You got

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: you and the Fertita has ran a great sport. So

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: when Connor McGregor arrived, you were prepared for it. But

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: like Caitlin Clark, he was so damn popular, so fast,

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: And I want you.

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: To talk about that.

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: You have not only been on the ground floor, but

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: you had your Caitlin Clark. You had a superstar emerge

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: that was literally the most viral human being in American sports.

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: So as the WNBA is struggling with Caitlin, go back

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: to the Connor of what it's like to run a

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: sport and here comes a superstar, a Taylor Swift, into

61
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: your lap. Do you remember was it great? Did it

62
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: create anxiety? Take us back to that time?

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 6: Yeah?

64
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: No, I mean the first time that I ever sat

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: down and had dinner with Connor McGregor in Las Vegas.

66
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: He flew out from Ireland and I left the dinner

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: and I called Lorenzo for Tita, and I said, let

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 4: me tell you what. I don't know if this guy

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: can fight or not, but if you can even throw

70
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: a punch, he's gonna be a huge superstar.

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: Fro Us And.

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: Obviously, you know we leaned into that, and you're right. Listen,

73
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark is a massive superstar.

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: I'm a fan.

75
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: So all the stuff that I got going on right now.

76
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: I actually had my assistant look to see when I

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: have season tickets to the Aces, so I had them

78
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: find out, you know, when she was coming to town,

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: and I'm clear in my schedule so I can go

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: to that game and watch her play live. I agree

81
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: with what you're saying.

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you are apparently I just read this the

83
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: other day and this made news.

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to have a card at the White House.

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: So you've gone to an island, you travel around the country,

86
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: now you're going to have something at the White House. Obviously,

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean they're security and all these things. Were you

88
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: shocked when that was offered to you or did you

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: know that was coming?

90
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: I did not know was coming. Yeah, but when he

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: offered it up, I was like, oh yeah, I'm all

92
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: in on this. So we've already sent a logistics team

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 4: out there that have walked the White House. There's calls

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: going back and forth every day between Craig We're sorry,

95
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 4: and my head of production and the White House, and

96
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 4: then we will have all these renderings done within the

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: next ten days and where to fly out and sit

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 4: down and walk them through it and see what he

99
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: wants and what he doesn't want.

100
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: So you're also getting involved in boxing with Canelo and Crawford.

101
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: So you and I have talked about this. We both

102
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: grew up boxing fans. I grew up with Mohammad Alian Frasier.

103
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: I grew up with Sugar Anne Hearns and Hagler. You

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: did too as a Boston guy, and then you're part

105
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: of UFC. I prefer UFC. I think it's more consistent.

106
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: I think the quality the women's division. But I still

107
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: have a soft spot for a great boxing match. I

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: saw Pachio fight six times. So as you go into boxing,

109
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: why did you choose to do it?

110
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: You know, I've been talking about it for a long time.

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: You know, I've had a lot of criticism of boxing

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: over the years, and now here I am. It's time

Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.

140
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: I have matchmakers that are always looking for up and

141
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: coming talent, but where it really comes from. Right now,

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: We do a show called Data White's Contender Series.

146
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: it's it's been unbelievable for creating talent. We've already had

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: three world champions come off that show. So yeah, that's

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: that's really where it is right now.

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: Okay, UFC three to eighteen, Halloway Pooria tomorrow. The Smoothie

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: King Center in New Orleans is great, by the way,

151
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: it's a great, great venue. It's going to be wild

152
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: because Potier is actually from there. Holloway's from Hawaii. Before

153
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I let you go forever, there was this stupid stigma

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: about you can't have pro teams in Vegas, and you know,

155
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. I mean, it just apps. I mean,

156
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: nobody monitors sports gambling like Vegas. They don't want games thrown.

157
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: So now you've got hockey UFC, You've got a baseball coming,

158
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: You've got the Raiders For people that haven't been to

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Vegas in a while, are you surprised? How willing over

160
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the last five years pro sports have been I mean,

161
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: you were the first in that, really you you because

162
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: boxing was all over the place. Are you surprised is

163
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: that people have finally embraced Vegas over the last half decade.

164
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: Well, I think it was the gambling issue.

165
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: I think that you know, they were so stuck on

166
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: the gambling issue, and one stacking over.

167
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 5: You could tell if you grew up in Vegas.

168
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 4: When you think about the un LV running Rebels, they

169
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 4: were like the pro team when I was a kid,

170
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: and they were so well supported and you know, financially

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: and people buying tickets and the list goes on and on.

172
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: I knew that. Listen, if you're going to go to

173
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: an away game for your team anytime during the year,

174
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 4: which one are you gonna pick? You're definitely going to Vegas.

175
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: It's it's a no brainer. You go in there. You

176
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: have an unbelievable weekend, tons of hotels, the greatest restaurants

177
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: in the world, the best shopping, There's always something to do,

178
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: and it's just a noble I mean, there are so

179
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: many sports to you. There's gonna be a ping pong

180
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: league there pretty soon. Vegas is the sports capital of

181
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: the world right.

182
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: Now, Dustin Poorier before we go.

183
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: When but a boxer gets older and do they say

184
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to you, hey, Dana, this is gonna be my last fight.

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Do you approach them sometimes and go, you know what, man,

186
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: we care about your health, We care about you as

187
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: a guy. When you get a poorier who's still very good,

188
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: how who makes the decision, Dana is it? Do you

189
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: ever lead that and say, hey, guy, I think he

190
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: had about two fights left.

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: Well, Poorier in Holloway are ranked number four and number.

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: Five in the world and the nastiest division in the sport.

193
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: So you know it's not like they're they're on this

194
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: huge decline or anything like that. And you know, Pourier

195
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: was the one that said I think I'm ready to retire,

196
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: and he wanted to do it here, you know, in

197
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: his home state. And think about this highest grossing event

198
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: in arena history tonight over seven or Saturday night and

199
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: over seventeen thousand in attendance. So still a huge superstar still,

200
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: you know, on top up of this game, and a

201
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: legitimate badass fight for his last fight, you know, his

202
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 4: retirement fight. So now there's stuff I would never go

203
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: to a guy like POORI and say, hey, you should

204
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: think about, you know, retiring. There have been guys, but

205
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 4: it's usually guys that are on a skid and don't

206
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: want to retire it. Those are usually the ones that

207
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: I say, you know, you should probably hang it up.

208
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: So I'm buying it tomorrow.

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Max Holloway, Dustin Poorier UFC three eighteen. Danny, you're a

210
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: busy guy. I always appreciate you stopping buying giving.

211
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: The herd ten minutes.

212
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: Good to see you, buddy.

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: All Right, it's gonna be a great fight. Those guys

214
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: will stand in the middle of the ring. Poorier's last fight.

215
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Holloway is still good, Halloway more of a volume guy.

216
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: Poorier is gonna stand out and try to knock you out.

217
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be good stuff. Dana White stopping by

218
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: tomorrow's headlines today as well. I know what I'm doing

219
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. A lot of people be out partying, not me.

220
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: J Mac home early buying it ready to go.

221
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 7: But are you having a cocktail with Zach Taylor or

222
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 7: something that's going on?

223
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: No, Hey, by the way, what's your poll?

224
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Say?

225
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 3: Now?

226
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 8: Now?

227
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 7: Oh, let me call it up here moments Carey, I

228
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 7: really don't like this Twitter machine, but uh okay, currently,

229
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 7: oh the gap is shrunk. Zach Taylor fifty six percent,

230
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 7: Mike McDaniel forty three percent. So it was fifty seven

231
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 7: now out of fifty six. You know, if you could

232
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 7: get on that Twitter machine and pop it. You know

233
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 7: your sizeable audience over there, Mike side with you or me?

234
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: If there's I've always said our audience is very intelligent

235
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: and over time they fall on the right side.

236
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, when I call them the unwashed masses, that was

237
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 7: probably not a good move.

238
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Right now, you probably lost six percent right there. There

239
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:32,960

Speaker 1: All right, Dana White stopped by today Tomorrow's headlines today

252
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: as well, we had it was from we had Urban

253
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: Meyer on yesterday. I've said that this time of the

254
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: year is sort of dead and the bread crumb has

255
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: become raging infernos of misinformation. But I do think one

256
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: of the really interesting stories this week, and this is

257
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: what we do on the show, is that Greg McElroy

258
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: down in Alabama.

259
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: He's a very.

260
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: Former, smart guy, former one of the better college football

261
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: guys covering the sport. He said he's been told saban

262
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: sniffing around coaching again. Lane Kiffin, also very connected to

263
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: the SEC, also mentioned it. I know both, I trust both,

264
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: So if Lane's saying it, and if Greg McElroy is

265
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: saying it, he's sniffing it. And that's nothing against the

266
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: network he works at now, but he he's a guy

267
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: that needs to be challenged. I've always had this theory

268
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: about Nick. Nick thinks he's as good a coach as Belichick.

269
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's wrong. He's the best college coach ever,

270
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: and I think it just wrankles him that he went

271
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to the pros. The team doctor wouldn't let have Drew

272
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: Brees and go look at Jim Harbaugh. Super competitive, hardball,

273
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: got to a super Bowl, won a Natty in the minute,

274
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: a top quarterback was available, and an ownership group that

275
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: would pay for a great coaching staff.

276
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 3: He left.

277
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Michigan was loaded, recruiting was rolling, Big Ten

278
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: was expanding, Jim was the talk of the sport. He's like,

279
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm out, So I just Nick is old herb but

280
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: does not play oled. Here's Urban yesterday on sabing to

281
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: the NFL.

282
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 3: Potentially, I have not talked to him about this.

283
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 8: I could guess because I know him fairly well and

284
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 8: competed against him, that it's not a little scratch. It's

285
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 8: probably a pretty big scratch that that's the one area

286
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 8: that he is not you know, you know he, like

287
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 8: you said, he's getting things going on Miami. I actually

288
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 8: visited him when he was down there. But I don't

289
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 8: think he'd go back to college. I don't see that fit.

290
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 8: I would say very little to no chance he would

291
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 8: get involved in college. But I think he would take

292
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 8: phone calls from the NFL.

293
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 5: So do I.

294
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: And again, the math is pretty simple. Six openings a year,

295
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: maybe seven college coaches are not leaving their post and

296
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: sniffing around the NFL as much because with the nil

297
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: universities can't afford.

298
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: To buy him out.

299
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: You're not going to get You're not buying out Brian

300
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Kelly and Lincoln Riley. You're not buying him out. And

301
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: an owner doesn't want to have to write a seventy

302
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: million dollar check for a new coach and buy him

303
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: out of his college contract for seventy If you wanted

304
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: to buy out right now, Lincoln Riley be seventy million,

305
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars at USC and then you have to

306
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,239
Speaker 1: pay him eighty and even billionaires have their limitations.

307
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: Then he's unproven, it's not really proven.

308
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: He can build a program in college, he can inherit

309
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: a pro Graham Oklahoma. Can he build his own That's

310
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: still unproven. So, uh, A lot to talk about here.

311
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: J Mack with the News.

312
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: This is the headline news, all right.

313
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 7: We haven't talked about the Colts in a minute. Anthony

314
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 7: Richardson Colin. Remember they shut him down this offseason due

315
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 7: to soreness in his shoulder as he was recovering from

316
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 7: shoulder surgery. Sounds like those issues are behind him. Multiple

317
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: reports indicate Anthony Richardson is believed to have recovered. I'm

318
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 7: being ready to go next week when training camp opens.

319
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 7: It feels like Daniel Jones versus Anthony Richardson for the

320
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 7: starting spot. I mean, Jones is a veteran, but he's

321
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 7: learning a new offense. I mean he ended very badly

322
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 7: in New York. Richardson obviously drafted in the top five.

323
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 7: They are invested in him. An he read from you

324
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 7: on who has.

325
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 6: The EDGs going into camp next week.

326
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: I trust.

327
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: My sources in the league in the general manager spot,

328
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: and they like Daniel Jones more. We just think he's

329
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: more consistently accurate. Anthony Richardson, either general manager tell me

330
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: he was the least accurate quarterback on simple throws he'd

331
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: ever seen in the NFL who was a starter. So

332
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: he's a good kid. He's a hard working kid. But

333
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: we've always talked about this, j Mac. You got to

334
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: hit your lamps in the NFL. You got to get

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: eight or nine those things out in the flat. You

336
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: got to be ten for ten. You can't skip the

337
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: ball out there, you can't sail it to a guy

338
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: in the flat. You got to get you know, as

339
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: great as Mahomes is and he'll make two or three

340
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: throws a game that are wow. He makes about eighteen

341
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: throws a game. He doesn't miss him. You do a

342
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: curl route, you're open, you do a drag rout, you

343
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: do something in the flat. Mahomes doesn't miss those. Herbert

344
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: doesn't miss those. C. J. Stroud doesn't miss him. Anthony

345
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: Richardson struggles on twelve yards in on the easy stuff.

346
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 7: He Josh Allen struggled on those early as well. Josh

347
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 7: Allen had way more college starts. Remember, Richardson barely started

348
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 7: any games in college. It was like twelve or four team,

349
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 7: some low number. And now he's been hurt and hasn't

350
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 7: really played that much. I'm not I would start him like,

351
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 7: you're not going.

352
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: Anywhere with Daniel Jones.

353
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 7: You're not winning, you're not saving your job with Daniel Jones.

354
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 7: I think you got to see what Anthony Richardson has

355
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: and if he think or swim baby.

356
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: When when Jim Ersay passed away, I think one of

357
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: the things his three daughters want to create is stability,

358
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: because Jim, as great as he was, could be very

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: impulsive in his later years. So I don't think they're

360
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: I think they're going to keep Chris Ballard. I think

361
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna get if he hasn't a big contract, long contract.

362
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna keep Shane Steichen. Steichen and Ballard

363
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: are they They support each other, and I think the

364
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: three we talked about ownership today. I think the three

365
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: daughters of Ersay are going to create a very stable environment,

366
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: maybe compensating for some of their dad's impulsive nature. So

367
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: I don't think Shane steike Shane Stikeen would not be

368
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: unemployed long. He would get a job. He's really good.

369
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: They are just trying to bail out like Andrew Luck retiring.

370
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: They've never I mean that's just like right before a season.

371
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: They're still trying to figure that out.

372
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 7: I might as well last get to humor me Shane

373
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 7: Steikin or Zach Taylor.

374
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Shane Steiking Oh okay, I don't think he's one of them.

375
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 6: He doesn't have any playoff wins.

376
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: No, but I think he is viewed as somebody who

377
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: literally made Jalen Hurts was struggling as a pro. Go

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: back to Justin Herbert's rookie year when he broke all

379
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: the records. Who was the coach, who was the coordinator.

380
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Go look at Jalen Hurt's best year. Who is the coordinator?

381
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's Indiana is viable.

382
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: Go to the Gardner Minshew year so and.

383
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 7: By the way, who you got win in that division?

384
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 7: I know it's kind of topsy turvy, but who want

385
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 7: to Tennessee?

386
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

387
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 7: Interesting, I'm going Jacks. We should all my tips into

388
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 7: the Trevor Lawrence.

389
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Two organizations in the NFL. Might as well have my

390
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: debit card. They've taken so much money from Atlanta and Jacksonville.

391
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh what's the point.

392
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: Here's my debit card. Go ahead and take it.

393
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, just just just take three hundred bucks out a

394
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: day going It's.

395
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 6: Like giving your kid.

396
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 7: You know, Hey, you want to go on a shopping

397
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 7: spree at seven eleven, Go for it.

398
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 6: Go crazy? All right? Next up, let's go to Bengals.

399
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 7: Big topic today, Cincinnati Bengals.

400
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 6: Well, how about this.

401
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 7: They took Schamar Stuart with the seventeenth overall pick in

402
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 7: the draft, ed rusher who had a career four and

403
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 7: a half.

404
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 6: Sacks at Texas A and M. But he's got the

405
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 6: skills and the measurements.

406
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 7: Anyways, he's the only first round or not signed Colin.

407
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 7: Now he's been working out at Texas A and M facilities,

408
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 7: and a lot of people are saying, well, he's not signed,

409
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 7: can he go back to college. Their head coach, Mike

410
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 7: Elko says there are no intentions of Stuart playing for

411
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 7: them this year. I don't know what no intentions means.

412
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 7: That's not to me a firm nobody Again, Cincinnati.

413
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: Have I have told you, you know, there's this team

414
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL that sets history. They draft a guy

415
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: and he goes back to What a shock that its Cincinnati.

416
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: Jets would have to be a consideration for that way.

417
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: No, Jets have spent money, they just haven't spent it smartly.

418
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: They spent money on Aaron Rodgers don't spend money. Jets

419
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: spend money, Dolphins spend money. The Bengals don't spend any

420
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: money of all the organization. If I would have guessed

421
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: somebody gets drafted and says, this is nonsense, I'm going

422
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: back to college, I would have guessed Cincinnati.

423
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: Ridiculous. It's bad.

424
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: Final story, Zach Taylor has to overcome it, driv into

425
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: work every day.

426
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, luckily he's got Joe Burrow. Anyways, finally in the NBA.

427
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 7: Interesting tidbit from your friend Charles Barkley here. So the

428
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 7: Thunder won the championship obviously, and Barkley, I'm not allowed

429
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 7: to say anything bad about him. Barkley believes there's only

430
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: two teams that can hang with the Thunder in the West.

431
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: Here we go.

432
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 10: I said, nobody can beat to Oklahoma City Thunder. I said,

433
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 10: Dever got a shot at it, but that's it. Now.

434
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 10: I think the Rockets got a shot at it, but

435
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 10: they don't be the favorites for the next three or

436
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 10: four years. They're young, they're talented, they're very whale coach. Now,

437
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 10: the Rockets have had a great summer. They've had a

438
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 10: great summer, so have the Nuggets. But those are the

439
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 10: top three teams in the West right now.

440
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree.

441
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: I'll take the Nuggets one, Rockets two, OKC three.

442
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 6: Nobody's beating them four times.

443
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 7: The Indiana Basers, historic underdogs, pushed them to Game seven.

444
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 6: Let's get off this. They're unbelievable.

445
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 7: Like two years ago, Nuggets won the championship.

446
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: I remember I fell for the Nuggets. I thought the

447
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Nuggets could be the spurg That was on me.

448
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 6: But then last year Celtics. We said they were like

449
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 6: the most loaded roster ever. They're bringing back everybody like

450
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: this is just how the league is now.

451
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 7: This idea that, okay, I mean we should do a

452
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 7: friendly wager.

453
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: Nah, let's be honest. You're right.

454
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: If Halliburton doesn't get hurt in Game seven, that is

455
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: a coin flip.

456
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: I agree. I think I would have taken Indiana. Well, seriously,

457
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: they looked great.

458
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 6: It was only one quarter, but they look great. This

459
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 6: idea that, okay, see some kind of juggered out.

460
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, Sga had a great year. He's

461
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: a great kid. He's not an all time great player.

462
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: He's not as good as Korean his prime Lebron and

463
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: his prime Michael kolbe Scheck.

464
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 7: But we gotta be careful what we say about Charles Barkley.

465
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 7: Nobody wants to get thrown through a window or anything.

466
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 7: All right, let's just settle down.

467
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: Well, who said that?

468
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 6: I did?

469
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: Charles? I like Charles, I know you do. You've you've

470
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 3: alienated him for so long.

471
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 6: I don't think I think it takes her have been

472
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 6: weak this Oklahoma City, come on, are they that good? Colling?

473
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 7: No, they needed seven to get my Denver in the

474
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 7: second round. Denver with hobbl Darren Gordon, Michael Porter Junior

475
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 7: was on Denver.

476
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: Denver's might pick to win it next year. Denver is

477
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: gonna meet Houston in the Western Conference finals. I like

478
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: that Denver and Yokich carry him. And then I think,

479
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, Halliburn, I don't know in the East, Nick,

480
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I don't know. Orlando is my

481
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: Orlando's in the Eastern Conference finals.

482
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 6: I don't know Knicks Rockets in the finals. That's gonna

483
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 6: be good.

484
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: Nick.

485
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: If you told me Nick's magic in the East, I'd

486
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: buy that. Without Haliburton and Tatum, I'd buy that.

487
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah.

488
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: Jmck with the news, well that's the news, and thanks

489
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: for stopping back the herd Line News.

490
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: Seen a little news here. I love. We had a

491
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: Steelers writer. The Faye Boy was on. Mike de Faiboy

492
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: was on earlier today.

493
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: And my lead today was it's not that I don't

494
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: like the TJ.

495
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 3: Watt deal.

496
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: I just don't like it how the Steeters have completely

497
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: prioritized defense for four years and the defense isn't even

498
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: that great. T J. Watt is for the defense isn't

499
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: that great? We had a graphic earlier today. If you

500
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: go to the last five playoff games for the Steelers,

501
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: and they've led the NFL in defensive spending four years

502
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: in a row, and they will lead it next year

503
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: because of the TJ.

504
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: Watt contract. Their defense isn't great now.

505
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: It's gotten better over the last several years, but they're

506
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: off has gotten worse for our radio audience. In the

507
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: last five playoff games dating back to twenty seventeen, they've

508
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: given up forty five, forty eight, forty two, thirty one,

509
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: and twenty eight. So they lead the league in defensive

510
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: spending over the last half decade, but they don't have

511
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: a dominating defense. So I don't mind the TJ. Watt contract.

512
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: He's a great player. He's an all timer, first ballot

513
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, as his brother was great player. But

514
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: it's the fact that you let Minka Fitzpatrick go and

515
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: instead of just getting draft picks, you sign Oh past

516
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: his prime Jalen Ramsey, who's seven million dollars more per year.

517
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: So if you're going to move off defensive players, just

518
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: get the draft picks. Don't don't go back to overspending

519
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: on somebody who's passed their prime.

520
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 3: So TJ.

521
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Watt is toward the end of his prime, but he's

522
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: still great. But here's Mike Fiebo de Faibo on the

523
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: urgency for Pittsburgh now to win this year with this

524
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: contract for three years.

525
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 11: Did Mike Tomlin get the most out of Antonio Brown

526
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 11: or did he enable him? And you know, we saw

527
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 11: history in some senses repeat itself with George Pickens. You

528
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 11: go back to where this whole postseason losing streak began.

529
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 11: Le'Veon Bell reported late for that playoff game. Like Tomlin

530
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 11: always has a saying, I don't treat everybody equally, but

531
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 11: I treat everybody fairly. But when you're treating people on

532
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 11: different levels, that is unfair to the guys who are

533
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 11: doing the right thing.

534
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: And that was in a response to my question, is

535
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Tomlin so pro player?

536
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 3: Does it get in the way?

537
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: And as Mike says, it kind of goes back to

538
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: l'vy and Bell, Antonio Brown, George Pickens is that it's

539
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: sort of ice cream for breakfast parent where he gives

540
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: the kids a lot of space. That's fine with ninety

541
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: five percent of your roster, but there's always some squorely

542
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL, or you know, in any pro sport.

543
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: They're young, they're rich, they've got.

544
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: Freedom, they've got a lot of time in their hands,

545
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: and they make mistakes. So, you know, I do think

546
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: they become very permissive with players. And again most TJ.

547
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: Watt doesn't. It's okay, you know.

548
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: For for the kid they draft out of West Virginia.

549
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: The first round kid was it, Zach Frasier, the center

550
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: out of West Virginia. He is a dog. That guy

551
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: is great. For most of your players, it's fine. You know,

552
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: Hines Ward is going to show up every day and

553
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: put the work in right like. But for a lot

554
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: of young guys, they don't. So and and here's Mike

555
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: again on the urgent. Now, so they sign Aaron Rodgers,

556
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and you know, so they're they're kind of ozempic. Their

557
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: answer to their unbalanced diet. They've gone heavy carbs, the

558
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: league has gone to protein. Their answer is Aaron Rodgers

559
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: were going all in and might respond to that.

560
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 11: They know that people are getting impatient. They want success

561
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 11: and they haven't had it, you know. And I just

562
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 11: look at the fact that there have been in the

563
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 11: history of the NFL, in the Super Bowl era, quarterbacks

564
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 11: over forty have won to combine twelve games in the playoffs.

565
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 11: Tom Brady has ten. Every other quarterback has two combined.

566
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 11: So it's Tom Brady and it's everybody else. And here

567
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 11: the are throwing their face behind assumed to be forty

568
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 11: two year old Aaron Rodgers to try to snap that skid.

569
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: In a division with arguably the best owned, well run,

570
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: one of the best coached and great quarterbacks in the

571
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: league in Baltimore. So the Baltimore screws it all up. Baltimore,

572
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: Steve Bushatti and John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson, they're such

573
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: a gold standard of how to run an operation that

574
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh if they were in the AFC South or if

575
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: they were in the NFC South, they can win that division.

576
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: But when you're in a division with Baltimore and then

577
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: VISIVI I compare you the Steelers to Baltimore, and I

578
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: look how Baltimore spends money on offense, takes big swings

579
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: in free agency, moves off defensive players, really good players

580
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: to make sure their own line is right, or they

581
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: can get Derrick Henry. Do you think Derrick Henry is

582
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: this good on every team in the league, or do

583
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: you think going to Baltimore with Lamar Jackson, this staff

584
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: and this old line elevates and lengthens the greatness of

585
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: Derek Henry.

586
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: I'd argue it's the latter.

587
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: All right, Tomorrow's headlines Today, my favorite segment every week

588
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: is coming up.

589
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,480

Speaker 1: Everybody thinks it's the the dold rooms this time of

593
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: the year, but we have had.

594
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: We've had a lot happen.

595
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 6: Starting with your flight SNAPHU earlier this week.

596
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 3: Huh, so it should be noted.

597
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: I felt terrible about that and then I called you

598
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, I can't get out of here.

599
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: My boss the next day was in New York. He

600
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: tried to get out, got on a plane, went on

601
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: the tarmac, came back in, got off the plane, waited

602
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: five hours.

603
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 6: Oh five hours at an airport.

604
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Well, I told you before, it's very in the West coast.

605
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: If you go to the airport and it's nothing but

606
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: sunny sky's, your plane will take off and you'll fly

607
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: on the East coast. You could be in Rhode Island

608
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: or a state and it's perfectly sunny, but there's a

609
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: lightning storm, or there's a there's a there's a front

610
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: a state away and you're not taking off, and that's,

611
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, just the reality of you get you get

612
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: more intense storms out east.

613
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 6: I'm sure you're.

614
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 7: Hanging out in the lounge, right You get the credit

615
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 7: card and you can pay fifty bucks and you go.

616
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 6: In the lounge, unlimited food.

617
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 3: Internet, No, no, no, that's a lot.

618
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 6: People hang out at the airport and those lounges.

619
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm in row thirty one. By the way, Rory McIlroy

620
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: is now six back of the lead at the Open

621
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: in Northern Ireland, behind Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick. So six back

622
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: you could listen. You get you get to that style course.

623
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: You can make up ground pretty quick. You get a birdie,

624
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: you can make up strokes pretty quick.

625
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 5: All right.

626
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: We do it every week.

627
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: At this time the former newspaperman comes up with headlines

628
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow's headlines today, what's the headline that I can't remember

629
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: an opening game in college football that felt this big? Yeah,

630
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: oh Io State against Texas. Sark and Ryan Day, Ryan

631
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: Day proved his value, Sark, this is a big one.

632
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: They're all headlines.

633
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: Well, obviously, this is a great start of the season.

634
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 7: The game's on Fox August thirtieth schedule year, Saturday.

635
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 6: Around this one, Ohio States favored.

636
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 7: The headline will be Ouch Manning Buck Guys. Put Arch

637
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 7: in full body Manning cast I'm going with the buck

638
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 7: Geys here.

639
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people are saying, hey, arch Man,

640
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 6: he's going to be the truth. I don't know.

641
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 7: I saw one report that said he was the tenth

642
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 7: best quarterback in college football this season. Meanwhile, Ohio States

643
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 7: bringing back styles All American linebacker Caleb Downs top ten pick,

644
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 7: maybe the best defensive player in college football. Colin Texas

645
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 7: only returns three offensive starters from a year ago.

646
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 6: This is going to be difficult.

647
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 7: And oh, by the way, little X factor, if you will,

648
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 7: the new defensive coordinator for the Buckeyes, it's the rocket

649
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 7: scientist Matt Patricia.

650
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 6: Remember that guy. He's looking for a career rejuvenation. He's

651
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 6: got all summer to cook up stuff for Arch.

652
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 7: I think this is the Buck guys, almost to the

653
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 7: point where people are like, ooh, I don't know about

654
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 7: arch is a pro because I think it'll be a

655
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 7: tough co for Texas. I would take Ohios date here

656
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 7: by two touchdowns. I will remind people Texas is gonna

657
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 7: be fine. The games after this are straight up cupcakes,

658
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 7: so Arch will be fine. But this is just going

659
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 7: to be a welcome to college football, buddy.

660
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 6: This is the big time.

661
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's there's such NFL factories. It is

662
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: interesting when I look at this game. The one advantage

663
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State does have there at home, so Arch. But

664
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Arch is such a mature kid. But you know, your

665
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: first big start is on the road at the Horseshoe.

666
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be called the Hype against the Horseshoe.

667
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: It's going to be an Alzheimer Tomorrow's headlines. Today it

668
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: was SECA Day Media week. This is always a hornet's

669
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: nest down there. This is going to be Calin de

670
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: Boor and Kirby Puck, Kirby Smart and Brian Kelly and

671
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen and here sark. Boy, there's some big time

672
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: coaches now in the SEC. What is the headline?

673
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 6: Well, one of.

674
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 7: The smart people who I lean on for college football

675
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 7: a lot, he's close to the business, said you schedule

676
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 7: a national championship. Jay, just remember that it's all about

677
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 7: the schedule. The headline for the SEC will be who

678
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 7: let the Dogs stay at home?

679
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 6: Let the Dogs?

680
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 7: I got Georgia winning the SEC. Colin I looked at

681
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 7: the schedule for the Bulldogs. Are you ready for this?

682
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: They do not play LSU, They host Alabama, and the

683
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 7: week before that game they have a bye, so they'll

684
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 7: be very fresh. Other two good teams Texas guess where

685
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 7: that game's at.

686
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 6: Yep, you guessed it.

687
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: Georgia.

688
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 6: Guess where the Old Miss game is? Yes? Also Georgia.

689
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 7: Their toughest games are all at home. I know there's

690
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 7: a lot of questions about Gunner Stockton. He didn't show

691
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 7: much against Notre Dame in the playoffs. You know, Okay, fine,

692
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 7: it was a tough spot start for him getting thrown

693
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 7: in there.

694
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 6: He doesn't need to be great.

695
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 7: This is a loaded team, all their tough opponents at home.

696
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 6: I think Georgia runs the table in the SEC.

697
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: Runs the table. That's not Yeah, that's interesting. I don't

698
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: know much about the quarterback, but that's interesting.

699
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 5: All right.

700
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today a lot of speculation about the Lakers

701
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: and Lebron James. I've had a lot of opinions this week.

702
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: What say you, yeah, I don't know.

703
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 7: I don't know whether or not the full for the

704
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 7: Lebron wants out all is nonsense? Or is it just

705
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 7: like you said the summer doldrums, the headline for Lebron

706
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 7: and the Lakers will be the billion dollar baby King

707
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 7: chucks up Hollywood ending. I think Lebron is staying, I'm

708
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 7: sorry for the whole baby you know. I don't Lebron

709
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 7: is a baby's whining. I think Lebron stays this is

710
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: much ado about nothing. This is as simply, Hey, you

711
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 7: guys didn't show me respect. You're catering too much to Luca.

712
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 6: What about me? I'm the King.

713
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 7: I brought you guys the title. I was second team

714
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 7: All NBA last year. All that stuff is true. Lebron

715
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 7: also got the coach he wanted in Reddick. They drafted

716
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 7: his son, Ronnie. I don't think Lebron's going anywhere. It's

717
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 7: a fun middle of July topic to kind of satiate

718
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 7: all those reporters who kept telling you Colin for weeks, Oh,

719
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 7: this is going to be the biggest offseason since twenty twenty.

720
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 6: It's just gonna be chaos. Everybody's moving around. None of

721
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 6: that stuff's going to be remotely true.

722
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 7: I think, without question, Lebron stays with the Lakers.

723
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think NBA free agency not dead, but I

724
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: think because of the new aprons, I think NBA free

725
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: I think the NFL free agency is much more interesting

726
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: going forward. And I told Adam Silver, I love stars moving.

727
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't. And so I think the new apron is

728
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: built for you to keep your draft well develop and

729
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: keep your own players. I think NBA free agency is

730
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: kind of dead one hundred percent.

731
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 7: Did you see the Phoenix Suns owner with this Bradley

732
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 7: Beal move, which is stupid and handcuffs you for five years. Right,

733
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 7: They're out of the second apron just by doing that deal.

734
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 7: That's all they wanted to do is avoid one hundred

735
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 7: seventy five million dollars, And like, that's just not smart

736
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 7: team building. But it's the new NBA. Adam Silver, you

737
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 7: sure we want this?

738
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 6: Are you sure?

739
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: I don't? Tomorrow's headlines today?

740
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: What's gonna be the headline for the second half of

741
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: the baseball season? Dodger struggling Yankees probably need a little help.

742
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: What do you make of it.

743
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 6: Yankees needs some help. I didn't realize Detroit was as good.

744
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 7: Yesterday's guest was like, yeah, the Tigers, they're winning, They're

745
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 7: coming out all right.

746
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 6: The headline four the.

747
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 7: Yankees will be Yankee Doodle done?

748
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 12: Did it?

749
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 7: Bronx Bombers are back of Roney, Colin, we heard Jeter,

750
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 7: we heard a Rod talk about it. I believe the

751
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 7: Yanks are gonna be going back to the World Series.

752
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 7: I hope people are down on them right now. The

753
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 7: Red Sox breathing down their neck. Only one game back. Obviously,

754
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 7: Detroit has been exceptional. We've got the Astros. But Colin,

755
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 7: I look at run differential and it just jumps off

756
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 7: the page. The Yankees by a mile, okay, plus one

757
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 7: eleven Detroit, which has a better record way back they

758
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 7: were at eighty seven.

759
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 6: This is a Yankee machine.

760
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 7: I know some people are criticizing their starters this weekend.

761
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 7: I'm sure you saw. It's just like, who are these guys?

762
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 7: This is not an imposing starting lineup. The Yankees are

763
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 7: going to be fine, and like you said, I expect

764
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 7: them to make moves. If Jeter and a Rod are

765
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 7: publicly All Star weekend talking about it. I think the

766
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 7: pressure's on Cashman to make a move.

767
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: Finally, the Open.

768
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today there's Rory Rory. What's your headline for

769
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: the Open Championship?

770
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 6: So you know, obviously you're a big Rory guy. You

771
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 6: are hyping it.

772
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 7: He's doing excellent well that we came up with an

773
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 7: amazing headline for you at the Open.

774
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: Rory's headline will b Rory Rory.

775
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 3: Hallelujah.

776
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 7: His truth is marching on down the Fairway. We are

777
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 7: all rooting for your guy, Rory maclory. Maybe I'll come

778
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 7: on the show next week. If he's able to capture

779
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 7: the Open Championship should be a good one. I would

780
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 7: agree with you. He is a captivating watch. People just

781
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 7: gravitate toward him. I remember when he first broke on

782
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 7: the scene, he felt like it was going to be

783
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 7: him and Tiger going Tottols forever. And then obviously Tiger

784
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 7: kind of went sideways, and Rory hasn't been able to

785
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: consistently been dominant, but he's starting to play better now

786
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 7: and I'm I'm certainly rooting for him this weekend.

787
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's funny Tiger was so dominant. People

788
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: compare everybody to Tiger. And I've said this, go look

789
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: at Phil Mickelson's career just if Tiger didn't exist. It's

790
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: like a top five career. Rory Bryce and to Shambeau

791
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: Brooks Koepka. These guys are unbelievable ald timers. But you

792
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: know it's like Brady Brady at forty four was better

793
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: than everybody not named Josh Allen and Mahomes. And so

794
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: I think the kid that came on from the Athletics

795
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: said there's twelve wins for quarterbacks over forty Brady's got ten.

796
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: All the other quarterbacks have two. Say you can't count

797
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: Brady's the outler. Take Brady out. Farv was pretty good

798
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: in his forties. He was pretty good. Warren Moon was

799
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: pretty good in his forties. So my take is just

800
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: take Tyger, you're out. Rory's had an unbelievable career, Deshambo,

801
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: who's like reinvented himself. Philm Mickelson has had an eye.

802
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: Let me guess this. Just look this up. How many

803
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: tour wins does Mickolson have and how many majors I'm

804
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna guess. I mean, just again, Tiger doesn't exist. I

805
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: bet you Mickelson has all time tour wins. I'm gonna okay,

806
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,479
Speaker 1: and then this major is everything else. I'm gonna guess

807
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Forty eight, forty five. Oh wow,

808
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: majors six boom.

809
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 6: I didn't know you were such a golf guy. Oh

810
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 6: that's right. You've been playing a lot of golf in

811
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 6: shy in a windy city.

812
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 3: How do I already have three golf rounds lined up?

813
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: Next time I go on VAC.

814
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 6: Are you serious? By the way, what clubs are you

815
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 6: playing with?

816
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: The kind of hit the ball long wing study?

817
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 7: Well, next time you're out here, we'll go to top golf.

818
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 7: I like to grip it and rip it. All I

819
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 7: do is swing for the fence. I just want to

820
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 7: whack golf as far as I get.

821
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: You don't go to top golf.

822
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 3: Here was Rory after his round today. He's six back.

823
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 12: I'm excited for the opportunity. I didn't have that opportunity

824
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 12: six years ago. So, you know, to play an extra

825
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 12: two days in this atmosphere, in front of these crowds,

826
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 12: you know, I'm I'm very excited for that, and I

827
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 12: feel like my game's definitely good enough to make a run.

828
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 12: It was twenty years ago that I played the North

829
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 12: of Ireland here, and never in my wildest dreams that

830
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 12: I think that I'd be coming back as a Grand

831
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 12: Slam champion with the support of a nation behind me,

832
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 12: trying to win an Open championship.

833
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: I find that guy so easy to root for. Oh

834
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: my god.

835
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, Augusta. I mean, there's a

836
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: lot of great golf tournaments. Augusta and the British Open

837
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: are my favorites. The British Open just looks so different.

838
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: It looks it's so you know, you have to get

839
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: up early to watch it, and august has just given

840
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: me so much the great moments. The US Open, I'm

841
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: partial to Pebble Beach. Like when it's at Pebble Beach,

842
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: it's literally like a painting. For the weekend, you're watching

843
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: a painting Pinehurst. There's a lot of great but there

844
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: are certain tournaments that matter more. Augusta one British Open too,

845
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: because Augusta's on it a better time, and then any

846
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: US Open at Pebble Beach. But there are golfers that

847
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm really fascinated with, Brooks Kepka. I thought Brooks Koepka

848
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to be like Mickelson forty five fifty

849
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: tour wins, and then Bryce and de Shamba was kind

850
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: of sticky and unlikable, and Deshambo is sort of elevated,

851
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: and Brooks Kopka has gone a little sideway.

852
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 3: So we'll keep our eye on that.

853
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, by the way, so uh, you know, let's say

854
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 7: you want to take me out on the golf course,

855
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 7: and you can invite any two golfers to join us.

856
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 6: Who rounds out the force? Um, it's fine. Obos.

857
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: So if I could golf you and I and rounds

858
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: out the four or some how about Steph Curry because

859
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: on a golf.

860
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 6: Course, people, he's awesome at golf.

861
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: And if you again, I get unfiltered Steph Curry and

862
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: Elon Musk.

863
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 6: Because he's so wacko, did not I don't I mean.

864
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: He would tell you, I mean, what's going to happen

865
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: in the future. Maybe Jeff Bezos, he'd be he'd be

866
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: less distracted Bezos and Steph Curry.

867
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 3: All right, we're done for today.

868
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: We will have a great weekend at UFC three eighteen.

869
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: Can't wait to watch. Thanks for Dana White for stopping

870
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: by and uh as Oh it's been hurd
