1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: What is up Straight Fire, Pam, It's me Jason McIntire, 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: Straight Foyer for Wednesday, December seventeenth. Oh boy, did we 4 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: have a good night in sports? And no, I'm not 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 2: talking about the Bowl game. I had no money on 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: last night's Bowl game. But at the end of the pod, 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you I do have some money I wanted 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: tonight's games. I don't know why I bet it, but 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: I did. It's in the account. I'll just tell you 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: at the end. NBA Cup was fuh phenomenal. Oh my gosh, 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: I cannot wait to dive into nick Spurs. It did 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: sting a little Not gonna lie guys. Back in I 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: think the first week of the season the Spurs played 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: I don't remember who was. I think it was like 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 2: there's they won their first game and then won their 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: second game. I was like, holy count, this team's trying hard. 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: Let me bet them to win the NBA Cup. I 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: got an amazing number of plus twenty six hundred and 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: it looks great when they beat Okay see going up 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: against my Knicks, you know, I was like, I'm a 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: Knicks fan. I love this next team. But I'd like 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: degreen a little more. And then the Spurs go up 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: by like eleven and the third I'm like, I'm stoked. 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: I like a lot. 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: You know. 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: The family we were wrapping up dinner and I'm like, guys, hey, 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: I got to just I'm about to get some more 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: Christmas funds if the Spurs can hold on here. Obviously 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: you don't really care about this stuff, but I'm in 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: a fantasy football league, and you know, it's kind of 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: a big buy in and you get paid for every 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: week to high score. It gets like a small amount, 33 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: and then at the end of the regular season, the 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: number one team gets significantly more than your buy in, right, 35 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: And I was number one most of the season, but 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: the number two guy was about to catch me in points. 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: He had Jalen Waddle and Wattle needed like thirteen points 38 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: against the Steelers to beat me. So the guy in 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: number two a buddy of mine. We play together. He's 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: a nice guy. He texts me. He's like, hey, j Mack, 41 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: how about a deal. Why don't we split the number 42 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: one seed money? So we both almost recoup our buy in, right, 43 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: because Wattle may get it, And I was like, that's interesting. 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: So then I look at the gambling odds. Wattle's not 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: projected to get you know, his over under for catches 46 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: and yards basically comes in under the thirteen points he needed. 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: So I was like, no deal, let's do uh sixty 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 2: five thirty five, And then you have a deal. And 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: you know, I love negotiating. And so my buddy comes 50 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: back after like twenty minutes. He's like, no, let's just 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: let it ride. And of course Wattle does like nothing, 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: He had like four points, so I win that. I'm like, guys, 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: look at that fantasy football season long boom, you get, 54 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: you want this, you got that, you know, like it 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: was a nice, nice victory, and I thought I had 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: that with the Spurs, and they blew it, but not 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: necessarily it blew it. Let me take that back. The Nicks. 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: Mike Brown pulled some unbelievable decisions out of his rear 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: end and the Knicks come away with the NBA Cup Championship. 60 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Nicks fans are geeked, Oh my gosh, we finally won something. 61 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: Oh it's so amazing we won something. Obviously, it's exciting. 62 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: The next one. I think the way they want it 63 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: is more exciting, and we'll get to that in a 64 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: quick second. I did just want it before I dive in. 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: I will have a bet on Seahawks Rams Thursday night football. 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 2: It's not clear cut what it is. I'll save it 67 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: for tomorrow. We just locked in a good guest to 68 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: preview the college football playoff games, which crazily are sneaking 69 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: up this weekend. Right, you got the Alabama Oklahoma rematch Friday. 70 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna have anything on that. I'm 71 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: leaning Bama. I was digging into their first meeting and 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: basically Alabama dominated the game but just kept turning the 73 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: ball over. I don't know that that's gonna happen again. 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't love this hole have to go to Oklahoma 75 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: and win it. That makes it tough for Alabama. I 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: may just watch the game. I don't know. You know, 77 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: I'm kind of a Tye Simpson honk. I don't mind 78 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: if the Jets got him in the second round anyways. 79 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: And that there's three games on Saturday plus two NFL games. 80 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: And you guys know, I graduated from James Vandison University. 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: So did the wife. We did not know each other 82 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: in college, and so we're JMU fans. We have some 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: buddies going up to Oregon. But come on a weekend 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: before basically Christmas. Are you kidding me? I no way 85 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: I could pull that off. And then Sunday you got 86 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: the full slate with really really good game, a couple 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: of really really good games. So it's just going to 88 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: be a monster sports weekend ahead. But I just I 89 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: quickly wanted to touch on this whole Jeremiah Love going 90 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft just briefly, so obviously I like 91 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: Notre Dame a lot. I was a little upset that 92 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: they didn't make the playoff. I did not have any 93 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: money on that though, But I saw Jeremiah Love announced 94 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: he's going to the Pros. It's interesting because obviously Love 95 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: is an immensely talented running back. But Ashton Genty just 96 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: went to the Raiders' top What do you go for 97 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: something in the top like six? And I don't want 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: to say he flopped, but year one was terrible. I 99 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: don't know that year two is going to be much better. 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: The Raiders are just a mess. I'm okay taking a 101 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: running back if it's one of the last pieces to 102 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: the puzzle in early right. Jamiir Gibbs goes to the Lions. Well, 103 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: the Lions were almost fully formed Montgomery goff. They had 104 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: the receivers, they had the tight ends, like they had 105 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: the offensive line. They didn't need much. They got Gibbs 106 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: and it was like, oh, we're making the jump to 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: light speed, right genty out of the Raiders said nothing. 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 2: They don't have a quarterback, they don't have an offensive line. 109 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: They got Brock Powers at tight end. I guess that's it. 110 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: They had Jacoby Myers and they shipped him like they're 111 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: not good. They should not have taken a running back 112 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: that early. So I'm looking at where Jeremiah Love could 113 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: land in the draft, and it's interesting because some of 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: these teams drafting at the top are basically right where 115 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: they were last year. And I know Love's over under. 116 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: Sorry to break make this about gambling. I know it's 117 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: over under. Is gonna be like early, But guys, I mean, 118 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: we could just go through some of these now. I 119 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: think he's a top ten talent. I'd see ESPN has 120 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: him is like number one. He's definitely a top ten talent. 121 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: I don't know that he's going one. So let's buzz 122 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 2: through it, right, Giants at one They're absolutely not taking 123 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love. He's just not going first. The Giants have 124 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: major needs on the offensive line. I mean they might 125 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: just take a quarterback. They actually have Skataboo Tyrom Tracy 126 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: like they can cobble together running backs. They're not taking 127 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love one. The Raiders obviously not, don't have a quarterback. 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 2: Just drafted gent Tennessee is interesting, right, You've got cam Ward. 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: The problem is Love is not the final piece to 130 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: the puzzle. Not for Tennessee. They don't have receivers. Their 131 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: tight ends are mediocre and don't tell me the gift 132 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: from Stanford. He's not even close to one. He might 133 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: be a three. Okay. The Tennessee Tennants don't have an 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: offensive line, so just forget Love to Tennessee. Cleveland a 135 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: lot of injuries on the old line, don't have a quarterback. 136 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: The running back room is actually not terrible. I like 137 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: what they have, so I don't see them taking Love 138 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: under any circumstances. My Jets, we got Breis Hall, we 139 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: got Braylan Allen. We're not taking a running back period. 140 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: Next topic, Arizona Cardinals. James Connor was amazing, got hurt 141 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: then came a guy whose name I'm spacing on, but 142 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: he was a very good backup Arizona Cardinals running back. 143 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: It's not the kid de Mercado who fumbled, but behind 144 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: Connor they had. I think the kid went to Oklahoma. No, 145 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: why am I not seeing him on their depth chart? 146 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: All I know is they had a backup to Connor 147 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: and he got hurt. Michael Carter's the running back there. 148 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Now. 149 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: I just don't see a world. Oh oh, it's Trey Benson. 150 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: That's the guy they've got Florida State. I'm my bad. 151 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: Trey Benson's pretty damn good. He was a third round 152 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: pick in twenty four. I don't. I mean, even if 153 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: they move on from Connor, which seems kind of unlikely, 154 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: I don't. They've got so many questions. Like their offensive 155 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: line is a nightmare. The wide receivers are good, the 156 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: tight end is excellent. I don't necessarily think of running 157 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: back as the final piece of the puzzle in Arizona. 158 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: I don't. At New Orleans, they think they have their 159 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: guy in Tyler Shuck. The offensive line is so bad, guys. 160 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: I mean, now Camaro's getting old, So maybe the Saints 161 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: makes sense. I don't see it because their offensive line 162 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: is so bad. If Shuck is your guy and Olave 163 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 2: looks like a keeper, you need to bolster that offensive line. 164 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: And there are two or three good tackles in this draft. 165 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: Washington is the first legit What do we have here? 166 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: You got Terry McLaurin, you got Jayden Daniels the offensive 167 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: line member, you invested in Tunsul at left tackle. You've 168 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: got some guys and they're running back room leaves a 169 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: little something to be desired. So I do believe Washington 170 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: is a legit landing spot for Jeremiah Love. I know 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: Chase Edmonds is okay, and McNichols is solid, and people 172 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: like Chris Rodriguez and they had the kid crosskey merrit 173 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 2: like I'm just I'm just saying, guys, I think Jeremiah 174 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: Love and Washington makes sense. Now, the defense is really 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 2: old and couldn't stop anybody, but I do think that 176 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: makes sense for Jeremiah Love. So the rounding out the 177 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: top ten Bengals, they're definitely not taking Love and the 178 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: Rams at ten. I don't see that with Korum and 179 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: Kirrien Williams thriving. So if you see an over under 180 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: of like six, I don't think you'll see that. You're 181 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: not gonna get anything yet. Obviously we got to wait 182 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: for the season end, but just just file that away. 183 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: On Jeremiah Love, who I like comparisons that I've seen 184 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: Reggie Bush, I don't think he's Reggie Bush. I saw 185 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: a Nick Chubb. I think he probably he has more 186 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 2: upside the job. I actually don't hate the Gibbs comparison. 187 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean, this guy catches everything. He appears to be 188 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: a good blocker. We know he's a really tough runner, 189 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: super athletic. I think, I mean, I love that. I 190 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 2: think he could ease though I thought easily be Jamiir Gibbs, 191 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 2: who's like a top three back in the league. But 192 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 2: I do think there's something there. 193 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 194 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: the nation.

This 198 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: Nick Spurs game. First of all, NBA Cup is an 199 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: absolute home run. Adam Silver knocked it out of the 200 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: park with this totally incredible atmosphere, not only in Vegas, 201 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: but the Amazon Prime people did a great job on it. 202 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: The players clearly care deeply. This felt like an NBA 203 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: Finals game, and the game the semifinals between the Thunder 204 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: and Spurs that felt like an NBA Finals game or 205 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 2: a Western Conference finals. I guess I should say, but 206 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: I think the energy that the players are putting forth 207 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: jumps off the screen like this is high level basketball. 208 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: It's not your run of the mid December NBA game, which, 209 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: lets be real NBA action in December ain't great. Now, 210 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 2: the NBA Cup made it pretty damn great. And I'm 211 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: watching this game and I'm like, dude, Spurs are gonna 212 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: win this. They look so good. I'm just I'm blown 213 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: away by how fast the Spurs got awesome. And I 214 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: know I've been not a Spurs hater, but I've never 215 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: really loved the Spurs. I didn't love the Duncan Parker 216 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: Genobli dynasty. I thought they were boring. Plus they dispatched 217 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: my Lakers in the West. And then I definitely did 218 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 2: not like Kawhi Leonard. I honestly, I still remember where 219 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 2: I was when he was beating the KD. Curry Warriors 220 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: in Game one by like twenty two points. In the 221 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: third quarter and then he got hurt. I remember watching 222 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 2: that game being like, damn, is this really gonna happen? 223 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. I honestly still think that Warriors team 224 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: is the greatest team of all time, and Kawhi not 225 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: single handily, but he was leading the charge playing off 226 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: the charts in that game. He gets hurt on the 227 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: Zaza Pachulia kind of. You know, it became a rule 228 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: in the NBA after that, Kawhi goes down Warriors when 229 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 2: the game win the series. Warriors only lost one playoff game. 230 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: That that's the greatest postseason in NBA history. They went 231 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: sixteen in one. A couple teams, I think a couple 232 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 2: the Lakers went fifteen in one, the Kobe Shack Lakers 233 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: sixteen and one. Guys, that's on another level. Okay, yes, 234 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 2: one more game matters, and especially because when Kobe and 235 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: Shack did it, like they faced the Sixers in the finals, Like, 236 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: come on, that team was nothing special. That was who 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: their losses to. That was the tylu stepped over by 238 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 2: Allen iverson game. Anyways, you know, I just have never 239 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 2: been a huge Spurs fan. I mean, they moved to 240 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: get LaMarcus Aldridge, you know, And then I was like, 241 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 2: Spurs haven't done anything in a while. And then they 242 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: fall ass backwards into whom min Yama? Right, they draft Castle? 243 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: Who I'll just keep it a real guys. I think 244 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 2: Castle is already one of the best young players in 245 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: the league. I don't know that there's fifteen guys in 246 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 2: the NBA. I take over Castle right now. If I'm 247 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: building a team, obviously age matters, you know, so you know, 248 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 2: no disrespect to my guy Curry. But like Castle is 249 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: like twenty three years old. Ok, I'm sorry taking a 250 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 2: twenty three year old building a team over anybody in 251 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: like thirty three plus. Sorry, but like if I told 252 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 2: you who would you rather have Castle or Jalen Brown, 253 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: you got to think long and hard on that. 254 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: For me. 255 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: And I know it's early on Castle and I'm probably 256 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: going too overboard. I just think the skill set. I mean, 257 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: he showed off the playmaking last night against Nicksy guy 258 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: had twelve assists. He's not even considered a pure point 259 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: guard that's supposed to be deer in Fox. I mean, 260 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: this team is so fun to watch. I'm not gonna 261 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 2: lie kind of in love. And so when Benyama goes 262 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: off in the third quarter, has twelve points, hitting threes. 263 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: I mean he at one point, Castle, you know, was 264 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: chasing the ball out of bounds, threw it over the 265 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: backboard and Webbnyama just dunked it. I was like, oh 266 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: my goodness, I mean, you just throw it near the 267 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: rim and Wemby's flushing it. He hits two threes, two 268 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: middies at unbelievable quarter. It was really only like a 269 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: six minute stretch. They go up eleven, and I'm feeling great, 270 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: And Mike Brown of the New York Knicks did something 271 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: that the Knicks fans haven't seen in years because Thibodau 272 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: would never do this. Thibodeaux, you guys know, well we 273 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: talked about on this pod for like the last three years. 274 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: He grinds his players into dust. Okay, they lead the 275 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: league in minutes, he wears them down and then they 276 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: usually run out of gas in the postseason. Mike Brown, 277 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: sensing his team was in trouble, okay, at one point 278 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: they were down eleven late third, he went with a 279 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: lineup of Jalen Brunson, Tyler Kolek, who was a point 280 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: guard who I loved coming out of Marquette, lefty point guard. 281 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: Really nice game. He had a really tough march badness 282 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: exit that hurt me financially. And I'm just a fan 283 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: of his game. You know, if you go read about 284 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: Tyler Kolek, you know this is one of these like undersized, 285 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: underrecruited dudes. And then just grinds away and comes up 286 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: and Biggie's Player of the Year, and I just I 287 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: love that stuff. So Mike Brown trots out Brunson Colek, 288 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: Jordan Clarkson, who is the human heat check. I mean, 289 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: Jordan Clarkson. I mean, you guys think I'm jacking in 290 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: my men's league games. Jordan Clarkson gets the ball and 291 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: it's going up. He's putting on moves or jacking threes, 292 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: and he's going going to the mid rage flotation like 293 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 2: he is an unbelievable bucket. And his two bigs were 294 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: og who Anonnobi was amazing. I thought he should have 295 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: been MVP. He had twenty eight points. He could not 296 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: miss it felt like last night. And then Jay and 297 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson was the fifth. So that's only two starters 298 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: and three bench guys. Okay, they go on a massive 299 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: run fueled essentially by Hey, Spurs, you can't turn us 300 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: over because guess what, we've got multiple point guards. We've 301 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: got multiple shooters. Kolek two for five from three, Clerkson 302 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: three for seven from three, Brunstond only shot one of 303 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: five OG five of ten. Essentially, they're shooting threes. And 304 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson was just a hustle machine, seemingly getting every 305 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: fricking rebound. He had ten offensive boards in eighteen minutes. 306 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: It was an unbelievable performance. And he's smart enough he 307 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: doesn't go up I'm not going up against Cornett, who's 308 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: a shot blocker. I'm not going up against Wemby. I'm 309 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: kicking this out to one of my shooters and we're 310 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: hitting the three. And it kept happening, and all of 311 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: a sudden, the Spurs go from up eleven end of 312 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: the quarter up five. Seven minutes into the fourth third 313 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 2: down five, and that's when Mike Brown, I think stan 314 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: Van Gunny even said it. I don't think Kat's coming 315 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: back in the game. He was like sitting on the bench. 316 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: I think his feet were up with his warm up 317 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: like jacket on. I don't even know if he thought 318 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: he was coming back in he was pouting. Okay, so 319 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: Kat sits for the first seven minutes or the fourth 320 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: quarter of the NBA Cup Championship when they were trailing 321 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 2: heading in. Okay, just let that sink in. But it 322 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: wasn't just Kat. Mckail Bridges in a stunning development. I 323 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: had to double check the box score play by play twice. 324 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: Mkal Bridges did not play in the fourth. He's the starter. 325 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: I think he's in. Was he an eighty million dollar guy? 326 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: How many draft picks did they give up from five? 327 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: Not eighty million a year? But I think his contract 328 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: was four for eighty I don't remember. He's a core guy. 329 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: He didn't have it last night. Offensively, he did not 330 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: have it really Defensively, he was a team high minus ten. 331 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: He did not play in the fourth. And then Josh Hart. 332 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: You know, I love Josh Basically, I feel like my 333 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: game is Josh Hart. You know, hustle your butt off. 334 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: I don't get the boards like he does, but I 335 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: will be scrappy and play defense full full court and hustle, 336 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: make your threes. Love Josh Hart's game. He also sat 337 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: for the first seven minutes. It was an out of 338 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: body experience and because one Begyama was on the minister restriction, 339 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: he sat for a while. His third quarter unbelievable. By 340 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: the time he comes back in the fourth, he's settling 341 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 2: for jumpers, and at that point the Spurs just couldn't 342 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: pull it off. So I thought Mike Brown with an 343 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: awesome coaching job. I didn't think the announcers game enough credit. 344 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I think they thought Bridges 345 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: was hurt because they didn't really talk about him. But 346 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: for Mike Brown to essentially bench three starters in the 347 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: fourth quarter of the NBA Cup Championship and ride Jordan 348 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: Clerkson and Tyler kolek Folks, that is a masterstroke. And 349 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: let's be real, one of the big knocks on Tibbs 350 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: was game man's me. He didn't want to play the 351 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 2: young guys. He didn't want to play the bench. This 352 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: is why the Knicks upgraded with Mike Brown, and that's 353 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: why they're the best team in the East. No disrespect 354 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: to the Pistons. Pistons obviously very very good, but I 355 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: think the ability for Mike Brown to see that, hey, 356 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 2: you know what, my starters, they're not giving it to 357 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: me tonight, but just can't throw in the ocean. He's 358 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: just not Heartheart's not giving me the defense I need. 359 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: And Kat, well, we know he can't. He doesn't play defense, 360 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 2: So let me ride bench. Guys. He changed it up. 361 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: It was a masterful stroke. Now, I will say about 362 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: the Spurs, this team, and again they're early to this, 363 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: so I don't you know, obviously fans are gonna be upset. 364 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 2: But this team, oh man, I'm not even kidding guys. 365 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 2: Dylan Harper, so he picks up Jayalen Brunson full court, 366 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: hounding him, gets it across half court. Harper pokes it loose, 367 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: brunts and grabs it, gets it over and back, and 368 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I mean that's a rookie being like, yeah, 369 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick up runs it. Castle, my guy. You 370 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: know I love Castle. Stefan K. Cassle. I mean he 371 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: was tenacious guarding Brunson. Brunson got the MVP. Yes, I 372 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: like Bronson. Twenty five points on twenty seven shots. Okay, 373 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: not the picture of efficiency and this team. I mean 374 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: the interesting thing is, I know Harrison Barnes I couldn't 375 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: miss against the Lakers last week when the Spurs played 376 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: the Lakers. I just I mean Essentially, if you're playing 377 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: the Spurs, you basically say, I don't want Fox shooting it. 378 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: I don't want Vassal shooting and he's a good shooter. 379 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: I don't want Castle shooting it. What's his name, Harper? 380 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: The young guy had five threes. I mean Dylan Harper's freak, 381 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: the Rutgers kid. He's so good. I'll just let Harrison 382 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 2: Barr shoot it. And Harrison Barnes missed all his threes. 383 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: He I don't know that he fits now. He is 384 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: a veteran. You need a veteran presence. I'm wondering if 385 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: there's a tweak they can do with the deadline that 386 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: involves Barnes because Kelton Johnson solid. Remember he was like 387 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: an I don't know if he was an Olympian. He 388 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: was only something in USA basketball. They've got, they got got. 389 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: Jeremy Shohan was essentially the point guard last year for 390 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: this team. He registered a did not play coach's decision. 391 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: I probably should check the CEF. He's hurt, but yeah, 392 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: he doesn't play a lot. Wow, he didn't play in 393 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: the semifinal either, So he went from essentially starting. This 394 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: is a young kid from Baylor. He's a very toolsy 395 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: forward top ten pick. I mean, is there a world 396 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: where you could say, you know, we'll pack Carter Bryant. 397 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: They got a young kid that Spurs have a really 398 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: loaded young roster. Hey, we'll package Barnes and Jeremy Shohan 399 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: and let's get like a slightly upgraded wing. I mean again, 400 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: Sohya was a top ten pick. I'm not saying he's washed. 401 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: He's only twenty two, but I don't think you can 402 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: get Herb Jones. But man, if you could get a 403 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: lockdown wing defender who can make threes, Barnes ain't locking 404 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: anybody down. I'm sorry. Now, that guy could be Carter 405 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 2: Bryant when that would stunt his growth if they if 406 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 2: they brought on a Herb Jones, I don't think you 407 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: could get Herb Herb Jones for that little But the 408 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: Spurs are close, guys. 409 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 410 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: the nation.

Spurs 416 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: are gonna be a very tough out if everybody's healthy 417 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. And I don't know, Spurs, Thunder, Nuggets, Lakers, Yes, 418 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: the Lakers are in there. Stop maybe Minnesota. The West 419 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 2: is so stacked right now, it's it really is incredible. 420 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: How loaded the Western conferences? All right, that's a lot 421 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 2: of NBA. Listen, I'm not gonna lie. I'm excited you 422 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 2: guys could here yesterday. It's this Christmas slate. It's pretty sick. 423 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: It's pretty loaded. Cooper flag going for forty two. I mean, 424 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: what's there not to love? You've got this Warrior's owner 425 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: responding to a fan's email about how disappointed he is 426 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: and the coach. He essentially took a jab at Steve Kerr, 427 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: which I found surprising. So some random fans sent Joe 428 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: lacob a critical note after a game talking about, you know, 429 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler's underutilized and blah blah blah, what are we doing? 430 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 2: And the owner responded, it's complicated style of play. Coaches 431 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 2: desires regarding players. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. So this 432 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 2: guy went and posted on Breddit, of course, and the 433 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: Warrior's owner said, yeah, I sent the email. I'm sure 434 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: he regrets it. I don't know if I should say 435 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: this on us much much more, much, much smaller scale. 436 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: With the soccer team we own in Mexico, I often 437 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: get asked by people, Hey, what about this move and 438 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and and I get into the game. 439 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: I'm a minority owner, but I get super into the 440 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: games I'm following, and sometimes I respond maybe when I shouldn't. 441 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: And uh, regarding the sale of a player, I kind 442 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: of chimed in before the deal was done. It was 443 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: it was essentially done, and you know, someone was like, hey, 444 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: you gotta be careful with that stuff, you know, And 445 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, you don't realize how many people 446 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 2: follow the team. This isn't you know. It's it's just fun. 447 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: And I can imagine what Joe Lakeub's going through. Now 448 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: he's a big owner, he could do whatever hell he wants. 449 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: Me I'm small potatoes. I gotta be careful. But it 450 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 2: is interesting that, you know, we're at the stage now 451 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: where fans are emailing and reaching out to owners, and 452 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: then you put stuff online and it's like okay, Well, 453 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: Joe likeb be responding to any more fan emails.

But I did bet 457 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: a college football bowl game. Don't rock with me. I 458 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: can't name one player on the team, but tonight, Oh no, 459 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This is in the afternoon.
