1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: with Labar Airings and Rady Guinn and Jonas Knox on 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Box Radio. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 2: So the Atlanta Falcons have a new guy running the 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: show there, and that guy would be Matt Ryan. And 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Matt Ryan has got some things he needs to clean 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 2: up there. They've been underwhelming. There's some talent in the building. 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: There's there's you know, looks some some players that you 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: would want to build around. And the big question is 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 2: whether or not you want to build around Michael Pennix 11 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: as your starting quarterback. And so Matt Ryan yesterday spoke 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: about where the future is with Pennix junior at the position. 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: Let's take a listen. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 4: Either of us are the head coach of the football team, 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 4: so we can't answer your question on that, but you know, 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 4: I think all of us are going to get together. 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 4: As Ian's been a part of it for us. 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 5: Three days, yeah, three. 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 4: Days, uh and and has had a lot on his 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 4: plate during that time. I think, you know, as we 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 4: start to get into this process and dive deeper into 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 4: the roster, how it currently stands, where it's you know, 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 4: going in the future, I think those are conversations Uh, 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 4: that will be a part of it. Quarterbacks obviously very important, 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 4: and we're you know, excited about Mike and what he's 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 4: doing with his rehab. I've been up at the facility 27 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: the last you know, three weeks, and Michael's been in 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 4: there attacking that and he's in a good space right now. 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 4: So we're excited about where he's at. But certainly a 30 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 4: lot of discussions for us about the entire roster. 31 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, that wasn't like the biggest photo confidence. 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 7: It wasn't so a few things you're gonna hate me 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 7: saying this, but like there is no. 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 5: No, no left left handed. Left handed is like an indictment. 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 6: And and it's only because of like how most rosters 36 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 6: it used to be like your blind slide left tackle right, 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 6: So why to make a move about it. But a 38 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 6: lot of offensive minded guys, obviously Matt Ryan's that even 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 6: though in his position he's not calm players or anything 40 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 6: like that, it's just there's something about it, like there, 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 6: you know, it's really hard to get guys to love 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 6: guys who are left he's at quarterback. It's just and 43 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 6: there's no ties obviously to him. For Matt Rice. I 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 6: don't think he wants to be too committal. 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 7: I will tell you this though, from being around the 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 7: prior staff that was going to be their guy going 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 7: in the season, you know they wanted to give Michael 48 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 7: Pennix a year where hopefully he could be healthy, hopefully 49 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 7: they get to. 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 5: See what they had in him. 51 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 7: And so it is a bit of a change in 52 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 7: philosophy and not necessarily cutting ties from him, but I 53 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 7: think also saying we need to bring someone else in 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 7: who gives us the best chance to win too, whether 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 7: it's Penix or a veteran they bring in, whatever the 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 7: case may be. I do think that it's a change 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 7: from what would have been had they kept Rahem Morris 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 7: and his staff. 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 6: And one other quick note, and I don't know if 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 6: we talked about this, so when they brought on Ian 61 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 6: Cunningham from Chicago, they didn't have to actually give up 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 6: draft capital, and that all had to do with the 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 6: fact that Matt Ryan technically is the ultimate decision maker 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 6: how it's worded, which is one of the most sneaky 65 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 6: things that they got away with that is actually brilliant. 66 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 6: If they value Ian Cunningham in that general manager role 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 6: as much as they do, so just a sneaky thing 68 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 6: that organizations are kind of doing now, especially when they're 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 6: trying to find good personnel who are on in other organizations, 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 6: like Ian Cunningham, their general manager, who they mentioned. 71 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: Now, is the compensatory pick that you would get? Is 72 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: that from the league or is that from the Falcons? 73 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 6: I think it's I'd have to go back and look, 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 6: I might be from the league. 75 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: Because that was what like, Yeah, it was kind of this. 76 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: I think, you know, the Bears thought, you know, much 77 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: like the Rams and the Niners have had happened many 78 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: times before, like oh, yeah, you know, we'll lose a 79 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: guy that we're very high on, but. 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 8: You know, I'll get a pickback. 81 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and lo and behold, Matt Ryan's a decision maker 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: and they got a baggy you know what. 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: Not sure if they get any draft Captain. 84 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 9: You guys did mention blind Side and you know Quintin Aaron, 85 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 9: you know, who was the actor in a blind Side. 86 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 9: He actually had a spinal tap a spinal stroke not 87 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 9: too long ago and was on life support and they 88 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 9: said he's recovering well now. So shouts out to him 89 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 9: speaking of the blind Side. Final stroke a spinal stroke. Yeah, 90 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 9: I heard of that. So, hey, man, I guess everything's possible. 91 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 9: I guess. But but to the point, interpret by the way. 92 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 9: I mean, some people would say a spinal stroke would 93 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 9: be a positive thing, you. 94 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 5: Know what I mean, like an extra two hundred bucks 95 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 5: depending on where you go. 96 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know how the price you said. 97 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 8: That was on the menu is what I heard. I 98 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 8: mean they said there was a package called I can't. 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: Do research for the show. I mean, you call me 100 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: show prep Jesus for a reason. I'm trying to get 101 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: us ready for show. Didn't you call me that one time? 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 10: No? 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure, you call you. 104 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: We started working together, you said, they called me. I 105 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: never got a clear answer on that. 106 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 8: How How good can this Atlanta team be next year? 107 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 9: I think it's the biggest question coming into it, Like 108 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 9: is it Michael Pennix that's going to be your guy? 109 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 9: That's one hundred going to be a big story obviously. 110 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 9: What what do you do with with Kirk Cousins in 111 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 9: this situation? Is he going to be gone? Is he 112 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 9: going to be back? If he is back, what does 113 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 9: that situation look like. I just think that there are 114 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 9: a lot of questions surrounding this Atlanta Falcons team obviously 115 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 9: led to them having to get a new head coach. 116 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 9: How do you fix the situation where it currently is. 117 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 9: I think that if you're You're Ryan or anyone that's 118 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 9: in that organization that's making decisions as to where this 119 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 9: team ends up, that has to be one of the 120 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 9: most pressing, you know, question is that you have to ask, 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 9: is you have a very very fine I mean, I 122 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 9: think b Jhon ro Robinson probably will get an Offensive 123 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 9: Player of the Year. I mean, if it's not Pooka 124 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 9: Nicool Hookah, that might be up there too. 125 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 8: Mac is up there, he is up there. 126 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 9: Jason is probably gonna you think so yea, yeah you 127 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 9: think so? 128 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 5: Why you don't think you just hit offensive rookie there? 129 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jig Ball. Yeah, it's not a rookie? 130 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 5: Is that second year? 131 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 8: Second year? 132 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: Think they just roll him out? 133 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 9: They just take and they have the same sounding names. 134 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 9: That's what I wanted to stay I say that, but 135 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 9: they didn't say the same they do sound I didn't 136 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 9: say that, Jig but you know, like. 137 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: Can we get an O'Brien for god's sake? 138 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 5: Brown? 139 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, Smith? 140 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 5: I mean the weird thing I Ken just I kept 141 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 5: thinking I'm like, who played with? Who played with? Jeremiah 142 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 5: Smith was like, was it not? 143 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 8: You haven't Smith? He's coming so is. 144 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 5: Know. 145 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 9: But but you have a really really fine running back 146 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 9: in Bijohn. I mean, you know, a fine running back 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 9: and and you have you have some players on on 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 9: the outside. What do you do that make your team 149 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 9: better immediately? If you're the Atlanta Falcons. 150 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 6: Well, I think the roster is fine as it is, honestly, 151 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 6: I mean just looking at their defense, if they stay healthy, 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 6: the young pieces they have, James Pierce, Jalen Walker on 153 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 6: the edges, He's man. 154 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 5: Xavier Wats was phenomenal, uh this year. 155 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 6: Like They've got a lot of young pieces, really really 156 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 6: good players. So to me, it's more about them staying healthy. 157 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 6: And I think in particular the wide receiver position. You know, 158 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 6: when London's there, it makes a huge difference on the outside. 159 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 6: And obviously Pitts if they can get Pits to play. 160 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 6: How he was the last third of the season, like 161 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 6: he really turned it on, kind of found himself. But 162 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 6: that's the hard part is now you're starting over again 163 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 6: in a different offense with Kevin Stefanski. 164 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 5: But Stefansky has good with tight ends in the past. 165 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 6: So I like their chances of being able to be 166 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 6: competitive the NFC South, But I also would like the 167 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 6: chance of pretty much every team being competitive in the NFC. 168 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 8: Oh geez, it's a fair states. 169 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: Do you think if Arthur blank could go back in 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: time two years. 171 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 8: Ago and get Bill Belichick. 172 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: Belichick and also not because he didn't look like he 173 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: was happy that they drafted my Well, well. 174 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 5: That might be the case. 175 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: But if he gets if he's getting Bill Belichick, he's 176 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 6: not getting Matt Ryan, Like Matt Ryan's not not here 177 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 6: right now. 178 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 9: If that's the case, which a more important Matt Ryan 179 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 9: or a Bill Belichick? 180 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 5: I don't know. 181 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 6: Matt Ryan has the chance to come to be the 182 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 6: savior right like he he obviously was a great player 183 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 6: there for him, and I think there's a lot of, 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 6: you know, opportunity for him to to do something. 185 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 5: I think if you just look at the hiring of Stefanski, like. 186 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 8: It's a great hire, I think it's a good heart 187 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 8: of making that higher. 188 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's I think it's a good it's 189 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 5: a part of what they need. 190 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch editions of two pros and a 191 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and Jonas 192 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific on 193 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 194 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 9: Hey, it's Rob Parker and Calvin Washington from The Odd 195 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 9: Couple on Fox Sports Radio. 196 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 10: And in addition to hearing us live weeknights from seven 197 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 10: to ten pm Eastern on Fox Sports Radio, we are 198 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 10: excited to announce brand new YouTube channel for the show. 199 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: That's right. 200 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 7: You can now watch The Odd Couple live on YouTube 201 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 7: every day. 202 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 10: All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube 203 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 10: again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple FSR, check us out 204 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 10: on YouTube and subscribe. 205 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: Here we go again with the NFLPA stepping right up 206 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: and putting their foot down and letting everybody know who's boss. 207 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: With INTERM Executive Director David White spoke yesterday about the 208 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: eventual what many people feel like is a foregone conclusion 209 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: eighteen game season in the National Football League, and he 210 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,239 Speaker 2: had this to say. 211 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 11: Members have no appetite for an eighteenth game regular season, 212 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 11: the regular season eighteenth game. You heard that last year 213 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 11: when the Executive Committee was up here and they were 214 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 11: talking about what happens to their bodies when they're with 215 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 11: their families, when they're with their kids. They were very 216 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 11: open and candid about that. It's punishing and we can 217 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 11: see that on the teams that have deep postseason runs, 218 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 11: and we saw it this year. If you looked at 219 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 11: even Week sixteen, the biggest storyline was arguably about the 220 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 11: critical contributors going down, and this was across many teams. 221 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 8: And if you look at wild Card weekend, which. 222 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 11: Would be the eighteenth game, if you took that week, 223 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 11: really significant injuries, some that were high profile, but a 224 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 11: bunch that weren't they but they happened. And those injuries 225 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 11: they cost players pay. They can shorten careers, they can 226 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 11: diminish lifetime earnings, and when your average career is already 227 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 11: three to four years, that becomes something that is existential. 228 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 8: So the eighteenth game is not casual for us. 229 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 11: It's a very serious issue. It's something that comes out 230 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 11: of negotiations, and nothing will move forward until players have 231 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 11: the opportunity to account for all of those factors, take 232 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 11: that into consideration, and then through negotiations, agree or not 233 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 11: to the eighteenth game. But as it stands right now, 234 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 11: players have been very clear they don't have any appetite for. 235 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 5: It, which is great. 236 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: So you guys think by about Friday will be at 237 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: eighteen games. 238 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 6: Well, to his point, they do have to agree upon 239 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 6: it per the rules of the CBA. However, this is 240 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 6: the stance you have to take if you're the players, 241 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 6: because you have to drum up those one or two 242 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 6: things you want most to get back in return for 243 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 6: an eighteenth game. So whatever that may be, but this 244 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 6: is your moment, this is your time you have. I 245 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 6: mean at granted he's interim, but you know, Dom Pop, Dave, some. 246 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 5: Of the other people who involved. 247 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 6: You've got some guys who I think have a much 248 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 6: better feel for like standing up for it. And because 249 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: the owners want this bad, bad, bad bad they want this. 250 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 6: You know, there'll be two preseason games, eighteen regular season games, 251 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 6: and look, they'll probably try to even expand the playoffs 252 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 6: the way this thing's going. 253 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 5: But my thing. 254 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 6: Is this is the moment now for the NFLPA to 255 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 6: stand strong, come together, figure out those one or two 256 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 6: things of what you want, because it's eventually going to happen, 257 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 6: and I think they should. If they could get a 258 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 6: third thing in there, it would be to expand the 259 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 6: active roster on game day and maybe even expand the 260 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 6: roster in general to a few more players, to allow 261 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 6: guys if they're not you know, eighty percent, because a 262 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 6: lot of guys are playing banged up and they're playing 263 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 6: through stuff, and then you know, talking about the punishment 264 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 6: their body. They're shooting themselves up with stuff just to 265 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: get through. 266 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 7: So allow them to be able to, hey, maybe they 267 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 7: missed one or two games, okay, but we've got enough 268 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 7: depth there to do it. Instead of having to make 269 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 7: all these different transactions like there's there's got to be 270 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 7: one or two, maybe three things, they've got to really 271 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 7: focus in. 272 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 9: On it definitely to me is a setting of the 273 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 9: stage of negotiations right to raise the stakes of how 274 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 9: how much of a toll it takes on a player's body. 275 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 9: The thing I started thinking about when I was listening 276 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 9: to this is what will the investment be as somebody 277 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 9: who's getting older, what's the investment going to be on 278 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 9: what I get health wise? You know, four oh one 279 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 9: K wise? What like my retirement? What does that look like? 280 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 9: I would love for that to be taken to a 281 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 9: level of where when I get to a point in 282 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 9: my life where some people like, let's be frank about it. 283 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 9: They're not going to be prepared to be able to 284 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 9: enter the workforce and bring a qualified level of service 285 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 9: in an industry that might be the only way they 286 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 9: can work. 287 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: The first thing I would ask for is, like, after 288 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: this is all said and done, you take care of 289 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: the ones who who laid down the foundation for what 290 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: the league is now and help build the league to 291 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: where it is, and then you take care of your future. 292 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: Like that's what that's That would be the first thing. 293 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 5: I mean, lifetime healthcare. I know it's an expensive they 294 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 5: really need to push for that. Yeah, and that's that's 295 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 5: a short term, long term whatever that it's. 296 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 8: It's super important. 297 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 9: But it's also important to be able to take care 298 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 9: of yourself to to get care if if you're always 299 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 9: hustling and bustling because a lot of guys they got 300 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 9: to work for the rest of their lives. I mean, 301 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 9: that's just the reality of it. If you're sacrificing your 302 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 9: body doing what you're doing, and the money is what 303 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 9: it is in the industry that you're in and you're 304 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 9: the driving force of that money, there needs to be 305 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 9: you know, things that are put in place where you 306 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 9: know you make x amount. 307 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 8: Of dollars in your afterlife. 308 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 9: You know, and not just it is what it is, 309 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 9: whether that figure is you know, five thousand, six thousand, 310 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 9: eight thousand, ten thousand, whatever it may be, you need 311 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 9: to be in a position and honestly, and you shouldn't 312 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 9: have to wait until you get to your fifties to 313 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 9: be able to do it, because your body doesn't start 314 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 9: breaking down at fifty.

I mean I saw 505 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 7: a few things in my couple months at Berkeley. There's 506 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 7: another thing right at that same area. Then I saw 507 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 7: a guy, a hippie on a bicycle on like a 508 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 7: ten speed, flying down the hill because you know, Berkeley's 509 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 7: on it, like it's one big incline all the way 510 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 7: up to the stadium at Strawberry Canyon where the stadium 511 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 7: where they play a memorial stadium, great place. And this 512 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 7: hippie was flying down the hill on a ten speed 513 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 7: and blew up this Asian student who was holding must 514 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 7: have been like twenty five reams of paper and he 515 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 7: just blew her up, and like I thought, he killed. 516 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 7: Like the paper went everywhere. I had never seen such 517 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 7: a collision in my life, and on the football field, 518 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 7: not anywhere, not even in a high speed chase. And 519 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 7: that made the Berkeley paper the next day. But Col's 520 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 7: a very interesting place. It's kind of a the town 521 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 7: does go to sleep LeVar, not because there's a curfew, 522 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 7: it's just because, you know, most of the people are 523 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 7: students and they're studying their ass off, so there's a 524 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 7: lot of that. There's a lot of late night eating, 525 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 7: not a lot of late night drinking. 526 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 5: Okay, if you know what I mean. 527 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 7: But oh, okay, got Yeah, there's a lot of people 528 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 7: around cal that are just weirdos and freaks because that's 529 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 7: what that area in Berkeley's all about. Oftentimes they're not 530 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 7: associated with the university. 531 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 5: Okay, I've got a question for you. 532 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 6: It's surprising to me, for as much success as SC 533 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 6: has had traditionally and obviously quarterbacks winging Heisman's and all that, 534 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 6: Sam Donald will be the first, wonderful and not mistaken 535 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 6: to win a Super Bowl? 536 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 5: Is that accurate? 537 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 7: He'd be the first guy to play and play well, okay, 538 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 7: to start a super Bowl there was the very first, 539 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 7: which is amazing, right, It's incredible when you when you 540 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 7: actually think about the influence of California quarterbacks, Southern Cal 541 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 7: in particular, and then how many greats they've had that 542 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 7: this would be the first time, like that blows my mind. 543 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 7: It's like, remember when Alabama was like, oh, they haven't 544 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 7: had Heisman Trophy winning. You're like, wait, what, like Marketingram's 545 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 7: the first one ever in the storied history of Alabama. 546 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: Like that sort of stuff blows my mind. 547 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 7: USC in the very first Super Bowl for Kansas City, 548 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 7: USC had a guy Bethard middle named Falconer. I think 549 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 7: you know, you know the Bethards, the people. One of 550 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 7: them was a quarterback. I think they had a tragedy 551 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 7: a CJ. 552 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 3: Bethard his brother at yeah, at a bar. I forget 553 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: where it was at. 554 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, he got stabbed in Nashville. 555 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: I think I think it was in Nashville. 556 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, this guy Bethard was a quarterback and he cleaned 557 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 7: up and you know the family. 558 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 5: With the GMS and all that. You know, they have 559 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 5: a long football history. 560 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 7: They're from the El Segundo area in the South Bay 561 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 7: down here in southern California. So that would be Pete Bethard. 562 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 7: He was a quarterback. And his brother's Bob Bethard and CJ. 563 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 7: Bethard's great uncle, so that that's this guy, Pete Bethard. 564 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 7: He keep cleaned up in garbage time in the very 565 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 7: first Super Bowl, and he's a USC quarterback. So he's 566 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 7: the only USC quarterback to have played in the Super Bowl. 567 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 7: This guy Pete Bethard in garbage time. Now we all 568 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 7: know Matt Lionert's story. Caleb Williams, who USC rented for 569 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 7: a short period, can can make a Super Bowl. 570 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 5: I'm sure. 571 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 3: Get a ring. 572 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 7: The cast off got rings, but he never played in 573 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 7: the game. I mean, Palmer got close. It's the playoff fronts. 574 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 7: Carson would be the one that you would would imagine, 575 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 7: you know, in one of those big years where he 576 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 7: was supposed to make a run, they Steelers blew out 577 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 7: his knee on the very first play of the game 578 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 7: or something in the playoffs, so it never happened for Carson. 579 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 7: Pat Hayden won some playoff games. I believe, going into 580 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 7: great NBC Sports analyst, I help you, I believe going 581 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 7: into this year, Mark Sanchez is the most successful USC 582 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 7: quarterback in the history of the NFL playoffs. 583 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 5: And that's because they've won a bunch of games for 584 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 5: U S c or. 585 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 7: Is saying just in general for USC, gosh, you know, yeah, 586 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 7: you know, like for you for an ex he he 587 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 7: had a great playoff record. Yeah, so it is. It 588 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 7: is pretty remarkable. That that that Sam Donald like. Watching 589 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 7: Sam Donald's career at USC, I'm not surprised. I would 590 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 7: say that he's starting in a super Bowl, knowing the 591 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 7: way it's gone the last five or six years, I 592 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 7: guess it's much more surprising. But it's a great story 593 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 7: if you love Sam Donald, which I do, and uh 594 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 7: and his back his history is really great. His backstory 595 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 7: was this saying can you can you tell little people 596 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 7: about it? 597 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 5: We talked about His grandfather. 598 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 7: Was what Dick Hammer Cammer, the Marlboro man that's right, 599 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 7: who has reoccurring war role on the show Emergency, was 600 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 7: a fireman. 601 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 5: Was just an all around stud. 602 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 7: His parents both athletes, a volleyball background in the in 603 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 7: the Orange County area.

It was a damn 689 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 2: shame and it ruined the entire sport. I say once. 690 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 5: I say once. 691 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 7: You couldn't get the plot of Blue Crush anymore. 692 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, what a good movie. The NFL was lost? 693 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 8: What about the Blue Lagoons that? 694 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the first time I saw Boobs. 695 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 9: Can you tell us why Lebron ruined the Pro Bowl? 696 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 9: And that's pretty interesting? 697 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 7: Well that one time when Kobe wanted to play defense 698 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 7: on Lebron in the All Star Game and he slapped 699 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 7: the floor and everything. Yeah, and then Ron passed it 700 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 7: off and turned it down and did the culture of 701 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 7: competition in the NBA. 702 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 5: It seeped over to all the sports. Dang. 703 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 7: No, I mean, look, the football is an interesting sport 704 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 7: in any ways, because. 705 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 5: Football players hate playing football. 706 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 7: They kind of do like, you know, they It's like, 707 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 7: you know, yeah, I'm a football player, but I don't 708 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 7: want to put all this stuff on unless I have to. 709 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 5: I don't want to practice. 710 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 7: I mean, the NFL ruined their whole CBA, the players 711 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 7: did just by accepting half pads. Like that's how bad 712 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 7: people want half pads. It's a great point, you know, like, hey, 713 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 7: we're not going to pay you the money you guys deserve, 714 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 7: and we're hiding billions of dollars from you and your 715 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 7: healthcare and your families. But how about half pads and 716 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,479 Speaker 7: helmets and show. They're like, it's a stupid football they plays. 717 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 7: So players hate putting pads on and getting all tuned 718 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: in and getting their sack all tucked in and going 719 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 7: out there and running around and playing. So I guess, 720 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 7: you know, I guess when it comes to the Pro Bowl, 721 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 7: like that's the most expendable time where you can put 722 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 7: on your gear, and it's just payers get players get 723 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 7: paid too much and so on and so forth. But 724 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 7: flag football is not football, not for real football players. 725 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 8: Well it's an Olympic sport, my guy. 726 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, but us they let us know last night about 727 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 6: fifty thousand times too during that broadcast. 728 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 8: Goddess, So it's just got reiterate that. 729 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just it's they ought to just I know 730 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 7: that they have a rating for it, and it's kind 731 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 7: of like something they have to do. It kind of 732 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 7: reminds me of back like when the Pac twelve network 733 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 7: and all that and the Big ten network was all 734 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 7: excited to run everybody's spring game on TV and then 735 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 7: everybody stopped having a spring game and just like doing 736 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 7: like a showcase, like hey watch the guys do stretches, 737 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 7: and they still had to televise it because it was 738 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 7: in the contract. 739 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 5: That kind of feels like what the Pro Bowl is. 740 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 7: Well, I know San Francisco was better when the patchwall 741 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 7: was still in existence up here, So you're not feeling 742 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 7: the acc vibe. You don't see like Wake Forest fans 743 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 7: walking around. 744 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 5: You don't see some uh Carolina. 745 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 7: Case representation Dave dorin Coast to coast count there's a 746 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 7: ton of people walking around with forty nine Ers jerseys on, 747 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 7: like a ton a ton a ton. 748 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 9: I don't understand it, Like, guys, you aren't playing, You're 749 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 9: not in the big game, Hud Petros. 750 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 5: I want to ask you this. We time to talk 751 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 5: about this. 752 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 6: And I know Kawhi Leonard finally got put into the reserves, 753 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 6: but Lebron getting the nod over Kawhi for the All 754 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 6: Star Game. That seemed to be a bit controversially because 755 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 6: Kawhi is having a good year, a better year than Lebron. 756 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 6: But clearly this could be a swan song for Lebron, 757 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 6: so maybe that was why. 758 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 5: Like, did you have an issue with it? I don't care. 759 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 7: I mean, it's a Clipper All Star Game with no Clippers. 760 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 7: So they finally added Kawhi Leonard because it looked really 761 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 7: bad to not have him when you have Lebron who's 762 00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 7: not having as good of a year. Like you said, 763 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 7: I don't think this is it for Lebron. I think 764 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 7: Lebron is going to make sure he has a final 765 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 7: tour that looks like the Prince Al number in Aladdin, 766 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 7: you know, like every single place he goes. You know, 767 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 7: that's the kind of exaltation I believe that he's going 768 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 7: to expect. The NBA All Star Game is stupid. Everything 769 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 7: around it is stupid. The only thing that I look 770 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 7: forward to is if there's like a fight at a club, 771 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 7: or oh yeah, somebody gets arrested, somebody gets caught slipping 772 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 7: like Eugene Robinson, which can still happen out there in 773 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 7: San Francisco, So keep your eyes open and keep your 774 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 7: head on a swivel. Fortys are underrated, violent group. You know, 775 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 7: a lot of people say that the Raider fans are 776 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 7: the worst and this, and that they are alive. 777 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: And well, nothing better than seeing a you know, hispanic 778 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: guy throwing down in a Tom Rathman Jersey just beaten 779 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 2: some brown boy. 780 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 7: I hate it when Rathman fights Roger Craig though, you know, 781 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 7: same side guys. 782 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 5: And then Brent Jones comes off the top rope and 783 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,479 Speaker 5: here comes Randy Kraut last one. 784 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 7: I grew up a Cleveland Cavaliers fans, So do with 785 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 7: that what you will. 786 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 5: Uh. 787 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 6: Garland gets traded out, The Cavs get James Harden, Like. 788 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 5: What are they getting in James Harden at this point? 789 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 5: A beard?
