1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Rado.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen between now and the end of the show.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: We know that dk metcalf is a Steeler. We know

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: that Davante Adams is a ram. Who knows what's gonna

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: happen over the next three hours? Only one way to

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: find out Hang with us and we'll be all over it.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: But I E from Salam would love to start with

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: the one that we woke up to, and that is

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: that Miles Garrett is a Cleveland Brown.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: Ha ha ha. I can't believe. I can't believe this.

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: First of all, good evening, my brother hood evening man,

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 4: how you doing.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic.

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: But I'm so excited to be here talking to you

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: tonight as always. And I've used this analogy before. If

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: you're a parent, be careful what you threaten your kids with.

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: You better be ready to follow through. I'll never forget

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: this one. This one was funny and I overheard this

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: from another parent, And it's after waiting at a long

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: line to get all the way into Disneyland. And no doubt,

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: people come from all over the world to go to Disneyland,

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: and so you're all lined up and you've probably taken

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: out a loan in order to get into this place.

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: And you finally get in and the kids are excited,

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: and the kids start misbehaving, and the parent looks.

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: At the kid and says, you shape up, or we're

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: going home.

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: And I'm like, no, you're not.

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: You're not going home.

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: You just spent twelve hundred to get in here. You're

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: not turning around and going home. Miles Garrett, you didn't

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: actually demand the trade.

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: My god, we didn't even make it to the league year.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: What kind of threat was that? What was that?

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: If all you actually wanted was to really, really, really

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: get paid, then I don't even understand why this got

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: handled the way it got handled.

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: Now, look, I'll say this, I believe Miles Garrett wanted

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: to get traded. I believe Miles Garrett was being honest

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: when he had made the statement that he didn't want

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 5: to be a part of another rebuild. I believe that wholeheartedly. Now,

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 5: the thing about this is two things could be true.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 5: He could have one hundred percent wanted out, But then

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 5: when someone comes to you and says, hey, how about

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty three and a half million guaranteed

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 5: on a new extension, and I'll put you right around

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 5: forty a year.

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: That's quarterback class.

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: And now I mean I can I can go through

51
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: a couple more years of rebuild.

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: Well, it's that's the end of your prime.

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: It's oh, it's it. Yeah, But that's that's what it is.

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 5: It's literally money talks, right, that's an old adage, old

55
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: saying money talks. And no matter what was he going

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: to get that after being traded.

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: Today, we need to talk about this. This is what

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: I want to talk about because this is it. And

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: and maybe maybe you're the man to talk to because

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that you've ever been paid forty.

61
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: Million dollars a year. No, but but I'm going to.

62
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: Venture to guess, as a professional athlete and the incredible

63
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: successful person that you are, that you probably make a

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: lot more money than most of the people listening to

65
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: this show. And let me speak for a lot of

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: people who are sports fans when they when they say this, look,

67
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: what is really the difference between forty million a year

68
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: and thirty five million a year? And I know the

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: answer is five million a year. And I know that's

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: a lot of money, But what I'm getting at is,

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 2: if you're gonna tell us, and he did publicly, if

72
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: you're going to say to us that what this is

73
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: about is avoiding a rebuild, and let's be honest, it's

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: also about what he didn't want to say publicly, which was,

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: I'd like to avoid being a part of the most

76
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: ridiculous organization in sports.

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: For the rest of my life. I'd like to do that.

78
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 2: The organization that made Deshaun Watson the highest paid person

79
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: in the history of this league. I'd like to not

80
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: be a part of that organization because I don't know.

81
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: I'd like to maybe retire someday with a couple of ws.

82
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: That's what you said, and I believed it because I

83
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: do think that there are athletes out there who are

84
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: like that. And if so, if that is actually your goal,

85
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: then someone needs to explain to me what it is

86
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: in Miles Garrett's life that he can now do for

87
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: forty million a year that he would not be able

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: to do for thirty five million a year and have

89
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: a much better experience and a chance for a game

90
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: that happens after New Year's Day for once in his

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: flip and life. Someone's got to explain that to me,

92
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: because I'm telling you, the average fan does not get that.

93
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: And I don't understand it either. Now I've never walked

94
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: in those shoes, but I don't get it.

95
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 5: I think when you're dealing, first of all, sports is

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: a business, and we all have feelings of.

97
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: Of you know, athletes and.

98
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 5: Loyalty and all of these things, whether it be from

99
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 5: the ownership, the team, the athlete. It's a business. And

100
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: in business, the most important thing is your financial windfall,

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: your compensation. So case in point five years ago, four

102
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: years ago, when Deshaun Watson was on the market and

103
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: there were three teams vying for him, and his agent

104
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: was like, hey, you got to eliminate one of the teams.

105
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 5: I think it was at Atlanta. I think it was

106
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 5: the Cleveland and I can't remember who the other team was.

107
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 5: And so he said, all right, Thursday night he said,

108
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: all right, Cleveland, it's off the table, meaning they're out.

109
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 5: I'm going to decide between the other two right h

110
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 5: That next morning he had signed a record breaking contract

111
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 5: with Cleveland because he told them they were out, and

112
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: they all him two hundred and thirty million fully guaranteed.

113
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: Now we're in and that is business. That is business,

114
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: and that's what we just had here. It's business. I

115
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 5: don't want to be here anymore. I want to go.

116
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: I've wanted to spend my whole career here. I can't

117
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 5: do another rebellion. I rebuild.

118
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: Oo.

119
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: Okay, how about this.

120
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: We're going to offer you more money than anyone would

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: offer you or anyone has ever gotten eclipse in what

122
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: Max Crosby just got two days ago.

123
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: That's the point. That's business. And so.

124
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 5: People can say one thing, but your accountant says something else.

125
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: And I feel this is one of those situations. We

126
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 5: saw it with Deshaun Watson. I'm telling you it happens.

127
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: Once you roll that check in front, then it changes.

128
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm already here. We're established, kids are in.

129
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 5: School, got a good place and fan base, and they

130
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: may be conversations of you know, what are they going

131
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: to do at quarterback and are we going is it

132
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: a rebuild or are we going to spend some more

133
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: money in free agency.

134
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna make it happen. Whatever that conversation is.

135
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 5: That contract extension of one hundred and six point five

136
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 5: million for three years was enough for him to feel

137
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: comfortable staying in Cleveland.

138
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: No worries, brother, no worries do you uh, don't ever

139
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: want anybody to make decisions that are not sound for themselves.

140
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: I have never ripped Kevin Durant in my life for

141
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: all of the decisions that he makes.

142
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: So any free agent.

143
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Like that's the cool thing, man, Anything that gets put

144
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: in front of you, you get to sign it.

145
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: I do think though it changes things.

146
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: Don't ever ever ever say into a microphone again that

147
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: you want to win.

148
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: Don't do it.

149
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 2: And I, by the way, I don't have a problem

150
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: with anybody, but he's signing any offer that gets put

151
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: in front of you if you want, As you said,

152
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: like those are fair points.

153
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 3: Kids are in school, we're here. We don't have to bring.

154
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: About the unknown and all of the difficulties that go

155
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: into that and dragging out what was clearly going to

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: be a major fight like the Browns dug themselves into.

157
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: So you want to avoid all that.

158
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: Great, great, But don't tell the public that, oh man,

159
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: I just want a chance to win.

160
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: No, you don't, No, you don't.

161
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: You want forty million a year to be the highest

162
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: paid non quarterback in the history of the NFL and

163
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: them's is good goals too.

164
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: So congrats.

165
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: But I don't ever want to hear from Miles Garrett

166
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: ever again that he's all about winning, because that's just

167
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: a bunch of ball.

168
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: Now, I don't want to say bunch of ball.

169
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: It's it can't be a bunch of bulls because he's

170
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: not playing not to win, He's not playing to win.

171
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that was a four year extension.

172
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: What kind of a chance do you get the Cleveland

173
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: Browns to win that division any point over the next

174
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: four years.

175
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: Listen to what I'm saying. Go ahead, Miles Garrett has

176
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: given you everything he's had. Absolutely, There's only been one

177
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: player who's had more sacks since they've been in the league,

178
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: not questioning his effort, and that's TJ. Watt not So

179
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: when you say he doesn't care about winning, you can't

180
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: say that because he is a winner and he plays

181
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: every play to win.

182
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: Okay, But again, I'm going by his words. He did

183
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: not want to rebuild. He wanted to go somewhere where

184
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: he had a chance to win. That's not there, Like,

185
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: categorically and unequivocally, that's not there. If I had enough

186
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: money to bet every like, like all of the bets,

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: all of the chips in the middle of the table,

188
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: that Miles Garrett will not win a super Bowl over

189
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: this four year extension, Myles Garrett won't even win a

190
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: division over this next four year extension. Joe Burrow and

191
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson will be winning those divisions over the next

192
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: four years in that division. So I just again, I'm

193
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: sure what I'm saying sounds critical. The only criticism I

194
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: actually have today is you weren't true.

195
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: To your word. And you know, money does that to people.

196
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: You know, Nick Saban once upon a time absolutely was

197
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: not going to the NFL, and well now we're going

198
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: to the NFL, So like, I get it, different information,

199
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: different decision. But that was the flimsiest demand at a

200
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: high level that I can remember in a long time

201
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: in sports.

202
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 3: If that's all that we're really.

203
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: Talking about, and I, as a fan, I do feel duped,

204
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: I do a little bit.

205
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: It's like, wait a minute, you.

206
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: Said that the I got invited to a party that

207
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: was about a and when I arrived there, you were

208
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: actually serving water.

209
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: You just want it, like you just wanted more money.

210
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: Like that's like that's the Jimmy Butler story. I don't

211
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: even have a problem if a guy just says that, no,

212
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: I want more money, Okay, okay, you're worth it.

213
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: Phenomenal player.

214
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: But this whole journey, the last couple of months of like, boy,

215
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: here's a message to the fans. I'm gonna write a

216
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: letter and I just want to win and just want

217
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: a chance to oh my gosh, flimsy bunch of ball.

218
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, I know it's not going to

219
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 5: change his effort. He's gonna be the top one or

220
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: two defensive ends in the entire league for sure as

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 5: long as he's playing. And now he's compensated for it.

222
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: So he said when he got to Cleveland, he wanted

223
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 5: to go from Cleveland to Canton, and now that's going

224
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: ring true.

225
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he can. Hell, he can just spend the

226
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: rest of his life in Ohio and be all set.

227
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: So again, the only thing he won't ever do is

228
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,359
Speaker 2: go to January.

229
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the Cleveland hasn't done enough outside of

231
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: him to really warrant them making a run, especially in

232
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 5: that division. The only team in the division without a quarterback,

233
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: so there's that. Well, you know, they.

234
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: Got wide receivers though, and we should talk about that

235
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: because you and I have had so many, I think,

236
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: just really fascinating conversations all year long about the wide

237
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: receiver market and kind of that whole thing. And so

238
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams and DK Metcalf both changing teams today and

239
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: the money that comes along with it. Let's get into that.

Speaker 2: and we appreciate the heck out of you listening. What

259
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: do you make of today's wide receiver moves, not just

260
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: DK metcalf fetching a second rounder, but also getting the

261
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: thirty million ap y on a five year deal with

262
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: the Pittsburg Steelers, who it feels like have been involved

263
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: with every wide receiver rumor for two years and finally

264
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: they've got their guy. There is something that I want

265
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: to laugh about with that trade request, but I want

266
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: to get your reaction first.

267
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: What did you make of DK to Pittsburgh?

268
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I love it for him, I know he

269
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 5: wanted out, but then I also am weary because there's

270
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: no quarterback there, so you know, I don't know, you know,

271
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: if this was you know, I saw him going to

272
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: you know, of course Davante there, but you know, Rams Chargers,

273
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: somewhere where you had a quarterback that can you know,

274
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: get you back to where you've been.

275
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: He's been a.

276
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 5: Tremendous one receiver receiver one you know this whole time,

277
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: and just going to a place where they're unsure at

278
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 5: the quarterback position, you know, just has me scratching my

279
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 5: head a little bit. I'm happy for him in terms

280
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: of the contract. He deserves it. He gets to go

281
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: and play with Mike Tomlin. I think that's always a plus.

282
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: But not having somebody to really throw the ball to you.

283
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 5: Not quite sure what the Stellers are going to do

284
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: at the quarterback position. I know they said they want

285
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 5: Justin Fields, but he's going to test the market, so

286
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 5: they could end up with neither Justin Fields or Russell Wilson.

287
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: Then what then, what are we doing?

288
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, So.

289

Speaker 2: like a wide receiver in your entire life than this

295
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: part of the trade request.

296
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: I would like to go to a warm weather climate.

297
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: Oh do yet? Now?

Speaker 2: What are we talking about? I mean, it's football. You

Speaker 2: in Buffalo.

312
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 5: Right, that part to be ready, that part, that part.

313
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: But no, you're outside in the elements.

314
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: Brother.

315
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: So uh, you know, thirty million a year I had

316
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 5: to make you. You know I could take the elements

317
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: for that.

318
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: That's fine. It'd be warm in the car you drive

319
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 4: from the stadium in.

320
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Yeah.

321
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: So the other thing about this though, and I like,

322
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out if indeed the wide receiver

323
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: contract bubble has burst. You and I have long thought

324
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: it should. There have been moments this offseason where I

325
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: thought it did. The forty nine ers kind of leading

326
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: the way where they're like, we're out on Deebo Samuel

327
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: and by the way, we might be out on Brandon

328
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: Ayuk also, and they totally regret the deal that they

329
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: gave Ayuk, and I wonder how Dallas feels.

330
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb is phenomenal.

331
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: I fully get that Ceedee Lamb is phenomenal, But you stunk.

332
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: You couldn't really play anywhere else.

333
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Your quarterback and your wide receiver have all the money,

334
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: and you couldn't even afford a running back.

335
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: So like it feels like regret.

336
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: Is outweighing those who are happy with their purchases. They're

337
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross Saint Brown's and they're Justin Jefferson's. And

338
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: then DeVante Adams. I get it, he's thirty two, but

339
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: he settles in at twenty three a year with the

340
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: Rams today. But then DK goes and gets thirty. And

341
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: DK's real good, real physical presence. But if we are

342
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: reserving thirty for the top, I don't know, call it

343
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 2: ten receivers in the game, I'm not putting DK on

344
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: that list.

345
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 4: Who's on it?

346
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: Well, okay, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase. I'm doing this now.

347
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: From the top of my head, I would pay. I'm

348
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: just gonna go receivers that I would pay before DK Metcalfkay, okay,

349
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: AJ Brown is one of them. I'm on Ross Saint

350
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Brown is one of them.

351
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 3: I would say that.

352
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: Did I already mentioned I said Justin and Jamar, right, Okay,

353
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: I think I would pay Tyreek before him. I think

354
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 2: that I would pay Nico Collins before him.

355
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: What go ahead.

356
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: Keep going, Drake London, Garrett Wilson.

357
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: Um hmmm.

358
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: I think that I would actually, based on first of all,

359
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: ceedee lamb.

360
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: Let's get Lamb in there. Okay, I think that.

361
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: If I'm projecting forward right now, I would pay the

362
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: leak neighbors before DK.

363
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you don't have to right now. Sold on

364
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 5: a second, yes I can.

365
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: My statement was top ten.

366
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 2: These are my that would be my that's that's my

367
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: that's my top ten you know, right well, I'm not done,

368
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm here, Okay. I think Mike Evans is a better

369
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: receiver than DK Metcalf.

370
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, what Mike Evans.

371
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how old is Mike Evans. I'm pretty

372
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: sure he had better stats than DK.

373
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 5: Older than DK. Well, Mike Evans also has a quarterback

374
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: that's going to back thirty one. He's thirty one, thirty one,

375
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 5: thirty one.

376
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not dead.

377
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 4: No no no, no, no no no no, all right, so

378
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: that's nine mm hmmm.

379
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: I like Terry McLaurin more than I like DK.

380
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 4: Ok Now, we're getting out why so so.

381

460
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 7: the Missouri Valley Conference Crown, and we did, guys have

461
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 7: our first ticket punched to the dance. Last night when

462
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 7: let me get this right, SIUE defeated Simo. Of course, yeah,

463
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 7: it turns out that's SIU Edwardsville, which had never been

464
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 7: to the NCAA tournament. They're going now. They beat first

465
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 7: place Southeast Missouri State. So last night I mentioned this

466
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 7: on the show. I looked it up. Who did they

467
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 7: play early season? For example, turns out SIU Edwardsville did

468
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 7: play Green Bay coach by Doug Gottlieb early in the

469
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 7: season and got their clocks cleaned by green Bay eighty

470
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 7: two to fifty seven, a green Bay team that went

471
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 7: on to not win a single game for the next

472
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 7: three months after that contest. Also, last night we had

473
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 7: the Summit League Semifinals, notable because the winners were Almost

474
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 7: and St. Thomas, Minnesota. They're about to play each other

475
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 7: in the conference final in a half an hour Normally

476
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 7: you would say, hey, winner goes to the NCAA Tournament.

477
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 7: Not so fast. Saint Thomas, Minnesota is not yet eligible

478
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 7: for the NCAA Tournament. So Omaha, as a semi final

479
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 7: winner last night, has already punched its ticket to the

480
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 7: big dance. You see, Saint Thomas is trying to go

481
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 7: directly from Division three to Division one. The NCAA rule

482
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 7: is you have to have a four year probation period

483
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 7: and that doesn't end until after this season. They might

484
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 7: win the conference crown tonight and not go to the NCAAs.

485
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 4: Back to you, wow, do you notice?

486
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's something that's amazing about college sports and

487
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: I love this, Like did you hear all the letters

488
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: of the alphabet that Steve just you may right, a

489
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: lot of different letters the alphabet, little quirks, little things.

490
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: These teams are all.

491
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: Going to the college basketball National Championship. They're all going

492
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: but the very same NCAA, the very same conferences with

493
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: their football teams. We will freak out at the idea

494
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: of somebody who could be twelve and zero having an

495
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: opportunity to championship if they're not enough of a big boy.

496
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: But we let letters we've never heard of. In the

497
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: same sentence, go to the dance in basketball.

498
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: That's a good point. You know how sacred football is.

499
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: I know, and I know you don't get to like

500
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: play sixty three games over a three week period in football.

501
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: I understand. I understand that you can't do that.

502
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: But I do think there is a football version of this,

503
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: which they tried to do last year and a lot

504
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 2: of people lost their minds at the structure of it,

505
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: because that's what we do in college football. I think

506
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: there's a way to structure that where we get rid

507
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: of this, like.

508
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: This exclusionary thing in football.

509
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: If you're a little guy, if you're Boise State and

510
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: you get invited to the big dance, people get very offended.

511
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: But in basketball, we call it magical and we go, oh, Cinderella,

512
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: this is adorable. We think it's adorable in basketball because

513
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: we like to give him a chance.

514
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 4: Anything's possible, right right.

515
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: We sing about it, Luther Vandros forever he will sing

516
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: about it.

517
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: And football is.

518
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 5: Offensive, yeah, because what you don't want is a bad matchup.

519
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: You don't want blowout games. So you're like, yeah, Alabama

520
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: can't go against Northern Northwestern carry the seven.

521
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Tech University.

522
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but you can again, we do it in basketball.

523
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: We just tuck it into like eleven in the morning

524
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: on a Thursday, but we do it.

525
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: We do it. We let Duke play those teams.

526
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's more of a chance of an upset

527
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 5: there than anywhere else.

528
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: Sure, But again the extension of that is we're not

529
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: actually talking about si U E or whatever letters were

530
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: just mentioned there in football, We're talking about Boise State

531
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: or someone like that.

532
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: We well, remember Liberty was twelve and one and they

533
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: were like or twelve and one. They were like yeah, no, wow, Yeah,

534
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: I mean it was like not today.

535
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean Liberty for you. I don't even know sort

536
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: of the structure of all of it because it changes

537
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: every year. Like when I was a broadcaster in nineteen

538
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: ninety eight for my alma mater, cal Poly, we went

539
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: to play Liberty. We weren't even that's it wasn't even

540
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: Division one.

541
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: That was Division one Double A at the time.

542
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's like that's a completely different level unless

543
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 2: something has changed, and I'm sure it has because it

544
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: does every year.

545
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

546
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 5: I just think, you know, people are more apt to

547
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 5: watch the you know, sixty fourteen.

548
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: It's not enough. I guess, big names.

549
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: I guess if you win your conference, you deserve a shot, right,

550
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 5: you deserve a shot. That makes sense for basketball, right.

551
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: And I mean by the way structure the conferences, if

552
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: you're so worried about it, structure the conferences in a

553
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: way where quite frankly, the big boys are the ones

554
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: who are going to win the conferences. I don't know

555
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: why everybody's still holding on, oh, Big Ten, Big East,

556
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: Big SEC whatever, Like who cares, It's all been blown

557
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: to smithereens already anyway.

558
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I get that, I understand that. But it's

559
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 5: it's really about you know, you know basketball. You can

560
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: have a player on your basketball Wally Zerbiak for Miami, Ohio. Yeah, yeah, right,

561
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 5: his team was scoring sixty in the tournament.

562
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: He had fifty six of them.

563
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: Right.

564
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 5: There is no way to do that in football. That's

565
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 5: the difference, right, Like Lee High when.

566
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: C. J.

567
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 5: McCullum was there, There is no way to do that

568
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 5: in football. Jim or verdett at BYU.

569
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: Remember that, sure, Steph Curry.

570
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 5: Steph Curry, Sure, basketball lends to that football. You got

571
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 5: the best quarterback on the planet.

572
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 3: Earth and that won't work. It's not gonna work right.

573
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: But again, again, I'm not talking about tiny you. I'm

574
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: just talking about someone who's like not Alabama, not Clemson,

575
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: not Michigan, not Ohio State. There has to be a

576
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: way to structure that where it doesn't and by the way,

577
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: they already have. I'm just saying like, it shouldn't bother

578
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: everybody so much.

579
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: I get.

580
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't bother me.

581
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: I think if you win UH and you're undefeated all

582
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 5: of those things, you have the right to represent UH

583
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: in the tournament. I think the twelve teams gives us

584
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: a little preview of that. Even with the big names,

585
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: the playoffs still will blowouts. So it's like, ugh, true

586
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: on any given time, it's only about three great teams

587
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 5: in college football when you when it's all said and done,

588
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 5: it's on about three really great teams.

589
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: We're live in the Tirek dot com studios. That's he

590
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 2: from Salama, Mark Willard. We got a little sidetracked on

591
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: the DK Metcalf thing in terms of where he sits

592
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: on the list and didn't get the answer of whether

593
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: or not the wide receiver contract bubble has burst or

594
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: not we'll get back to that coming up on Fox

595
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

596
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

597
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: All right, these Arethetirack dot Com studios. Glad you're with us.

598
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: That's he from Salama Mark Willard. So it is kind

599
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: of fascinating what the Steelers just did with the acquisition

600
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: of DK Metcalf and a thirty million dollars a year

601
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: contract over five years. Fascinating for this reason, Like, do

602
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 2: you think that the wide receiver contract bubble has burst?

603
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: Because I still lean in the direction of yes, number

604
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 2: one and number two.

605
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 3: But if there's.

606
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: Any team out there, any team in the NFL where

607
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: I would not recommend going thirty million a year for

608
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: a receiver, I think that would be the Pittsburgh Steelers.

609
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: I would agree with that.

610
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: Like, so, what are we doing? You just said it.

611
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: We don't even know who the quarterback is. The head

612
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: coach has always based everything he's ever done on the

613
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: run game, even when he did have dynamic performers at

614
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: quarterback in the receiver position, DK said he wanted to

615
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: go to warm weather. You don't have it, Like, what

616
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: on earth is DK Metcalf going to do in Pittsburgh

617
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: to be worth thirty million dollars.

618
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: I don't know what that is.

619
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 5: Obviously, they wanted to bolster their weapons outside with the

620
00:35:54,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 5: with their embattled receiver that they they they have not

621
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 5: quite sure what the actual plan is for who's going

622
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: to spread the love In terms of the ball around, it's.

623
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: It was, Look, I'm.

624
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 5: Happy DK got paid, but I don't know why if

625
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 5: that makes sense by them, not by you know, any

626
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 5: other team, just by them, because to me, it's like

627
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 5: there was getting the quarterback situated I think would be

628
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 5: of highest priority.

629
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 4: In my opinion.

630
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 5: And so now it's, yeah, you got a great receiving corps.

631
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 5: Who's throwing them the ball? Are they on the market?

632
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: Are they going to get Sam Donald? Are they bringing

633
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 5: in Aaron Rodgers?

634
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: Who else?

635
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: Kin? I mean, could you get involved there?

636
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: I like there was a report today that that Pittsburgh

637
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: started knocking on on Sam Donald's door, which is I mean, maybe,

638
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: but it's probably more likely that that comes from Sam

639
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 2: Donald's agency in an effort to get seattle up, bump

640
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: that up a little bit. If I'm Sam Donald, I'm

641
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 2: a West Coast guy, and and and you know, I've

642
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: kind of been through everything that I've been through in

643
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: New York, cold weather AFC city whatnot? Like you saw

644
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: what he did in a weather controlled environment this year?

645
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: Like I'm going to Seattle. I'm not, even though you

646
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: just came up DK. I'm a government yes, yeah, but

647
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: Lockett lock is getting a little up there. But I

648
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 2: really like Jackson Smith and Jig But I like him too, right,

649
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: I really I really like the the running backs they have. Yeah,

650
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: if I'm Sam Donald, I'm I'm I'm I'm not gonna

651
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: go battle Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.

652
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: How about that, I'm not gonna do that.

653
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

654
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 5: That that that makes sense? That Uh, that would be

655
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 5: a smart move, right, wouldn't you go to Seattle?

656
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 4: I would go to Seattle yet?

657
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: Or is there is there door number three? You go

658
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: back to New York and play for the Giants.

659
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 5: No, okay, no, no, I think that New York experiment

660
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 5: we're past that. I don't I don't think he should

661
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: go back. You don't want to just start retracing your stay,

662
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 5: even though it's a different franchise. The New York media

663
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 5: is the New York media, so they cover the Giants too,

664
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 5: And you don't want to go to a poorly run franchise.

665
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 5: The Giants are poorly run.

666
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's what I just said about

667
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett at the top of the show.

668
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's been there though, Like you don't opt into,

669
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 5: you don't go. You don't leave a great run program

670
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 5: and go to a poorly one pro and when there

671
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 5: are other options on the table, that's what you don't do. Now,

672
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 5: if you're drafted there and you've you've grown there, and

673
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 5: you've played there your whole career, that's a different conversation

674
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 5: because now you got to remember these trades and all

675
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 5: of that. Guys are being families are moved, the kids.

676
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 5: It's a lot yep, I hear that. It's a lot

677
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 5: that goes that goes actually into that. So you know,

678
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 5: it never surprises me when a guy stays, especially when

679
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 5: they back the truck up.

680
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: Let's get into something hoops coming up next. Lebron James

681
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: got hurt last night. Let's talk about it and we

682
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: will next. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio radio, Yeah,

683
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 2: let's talk Lebron James.

684
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on.

685
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: There's the injury that's the physical, and then there's the

686
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: injury that's the emotional. We're broadcasting live from the ti

691
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: with us tonight. So he's out and the earliest sort

692
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: of returns that we've got on the Lebron James Growin

693
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: injury says a week to two. I'm gonna guess, just

694
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: based on a couple conversations I've had, that it's at

695
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: least two. They're gonna slow play this. The Lakers have

696
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: done a good enough job in recent weeks of playing

697
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 2: themselves into a protected playoff position. One thing that did

698
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: pop to mind, though, and I wonder how you think

699
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 2: it affects this if the Lakers now with no center

700
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: and no Lebron, if they're weakened a little bit to

701
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: where you see maybe not a losing streak.

702
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 3: But less effective play for a couple of weeks.

703
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: They do play Denver twice in this two week period,

704
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: and if Denver is to take advantage of that sort

705
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: of solidify the two seed, push the Lakers to the

706
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 2: three my mind starts going to whether or not you've

707
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: got a first round matchup of Lakers and Warriors. Sure,

708
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: there's a lot of different things that could go on here.

709
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it won't play out that way, but at this point,

710
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: based on what's happened since the deadline, I kind of

711
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 2: find that to be a nightmare scenario for the NBA.

712
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 3: If those two teams.

713
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 4: Play in Round one, they would hate that.

714
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, don't don't burn that right away, you know

715
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: what I mean.

716
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what's your reaction to the injury and

717
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: what this means for the Lakers round now.

718
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 5: First of all, I just want to get more information

719
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: to see if it's how serious it is. It's not

720
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 5: a bad thing that Lebron gets to have a little

721
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 5: time off.

722
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 3: It's a good point.

723
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 4: It's not a bad thing coming down to stretch into

724
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs. I think.

725
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 5: It's one of those things where he wasn't going to

726
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 5: rest at all, and so I think this. I hope

727
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 5: it's a mild, growing injury, a couple of weeks rest,

728
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 5: be ready, recharge, finish the seat, and strong going to

729
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 5: the playoffs.

730
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: That's that's my hope.

731
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 5: I don't want it to be what was it twenty

732
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 5: seventeen or what year did he have it where it's

733
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 5: seventeen missed, you know, seventeen games or something like that.

734
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 5: Not that don't want that to happen. No, he seemed

735
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 5: like he was all right, you know, but I think

736
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 5: the Lakers can hold for you know, second are second

737
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 5: or third seed is fine, it's not the play in

738
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 5: and I think that's important.

739
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: Do you see the idea of that potential matchup? A Sure,

740
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: it's bad for the league because you want to keep

741
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: those two players in this whole thing as long as possible,

742
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: number one, but number two. I think that it could

743
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: be argued with both of these teams the way they're

744
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: playing since the trade deadline, with the acquisitions of Luca

745
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler, I sort of feel like both of

746
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: them are out of place in terms of their seeding.

747
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: Like you don't you don't want to face those teams?

748
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, you those like that is.

749
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: An inflated version of what a sixth seed usually would be.

750
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 3: And if the Lakers fall a little bit because of this.

751
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: Injury, same thing there, yeah, and you know what I mean,

752
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 2: So like do you do you almost see like the

753
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: Warriors as the threat that you wouldn't want to see

754
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 2: if you're the Lakers.

755
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 5: No you no, No, no, I don't. I don't think

756
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 5: the Warriors, you know, I don't think that's the case.

757
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 5: I don't think the Lakers are worried about the Warriors.

758
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 5: They match up well against the Warriors used to. No,

759
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 5: they still do. They still do.

760
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 3: Haven't really seen him play.

761
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 5: I know, but they they they they still do. The

762
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 5: Warriors don't have any size, so that's what I mean. Hello, Well, no,

763
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 5: but that.

764
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: Used to be the edge that they had, like Anthony

765
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: Davis used to run that match up.

766
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I get it.

767
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 5: But they do have wing defenders and and I think

768
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 5: they have more firepower, more punch, and then they do

769
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 5: have a especially when Rory comes back, they do have

770
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 5: an inside presence with Lebron in the mid poles, Rory

771
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 5: in the high post, they can do some damage in

772
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 5: the post. But that matchup favors, you know, the Lakes,

773
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 5: even with Jimmy Butler.

774
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 4: Okay, in my opinion.

775
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, done, that's fair, that's fair.

776
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, like if you

777
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: look at look at the landscape of that Western Conference

778
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: right now, and again we've talked about it some already,

779
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 2: like the before, since the trade deadline developments in the

780
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 2: Western Conference, and now you can add in the Jaron

781
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: Jackson injury in Memphis, Like I kind of want to

782
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 2: play any of those teams except for what we're talking

783
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: about here. Look, Denver is Denver. There's no there's no

784
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 2: there's no push over there in Oklahoma City should end

785
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: up running the show. But put it this way, I

786
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: would be more scared of Golden State of Minnesota than

787
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: I would be of Memphis and Houston, a very very

788
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: young team.

789
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: I agree with that those have better records right now.

790
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: And so I don't know, I don't know if you

791
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: want to kind of mess around with the with the

792
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: standings a little bit, but you know, that's that's no

793
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: matter who I am.

794
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: That's what i'd like to see. I'd like to see

795
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 3: Memphis or Houston in round one.

796
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that'd be a good compelling matchup for

797
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 5: a Golden State.

798
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 4: Uh, that'd be.

799
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 5: Great job against Steph. Oh sure, Jalen Green against Steph.

800
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 5: That's what you want, that's what you need. What is

801
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 5: Golden State?

802
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 4: Right now? We're six?

803
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 3: There are six, they're the six.

804
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota is only a half game behind them, They're only

805
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: and then they're three behind Houston. But those playing teams

806
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: right now, I mean, Minnesota is starting to finally play there,

807
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 2: getting healthy. They've won four in a row. And I

808
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: remember talking to you about this last week. Of all

809
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: teams in the NBA, the number one team of like,

810
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: why aren't they better to me?

811
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 3: Is the Timberwolves.

812
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: I agree, yes, they like that, that's the number one

813
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: they should be better team to Evincenzo's back. Go Bears

814
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 2: is back. They've won four in a row. I expect

815
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: them to keep on coming. The Clippers I'll never figure

816
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 2: out for the rest of my life. Doesn't matter who

817
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: plays for them. Nope, it just gets weird.

818
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 4: Cursed man, Right, it's a real thing.

819
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: You get to March and things just get weird. And

820
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: so here we are again. And I was almost expected

821
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: this time around Sacramento. I'm almost surprised at the way

822
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: they're playing. But what's their firepower with Sabonis hurt and

823
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: Darren Fox plays for San Antonio and Dallas right now

824
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 2: has a game and a half lead on the Suns,

825
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: and I don't know if the Mavericks are ever going

826
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: to win a basketball game again.

827
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's done with the Mavericks.

828
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: I think they should shut AD down for the rest

829
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 5: of the season and try to get a you know,

830
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 5: as close to a lottery pick as they could possibly

831
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 5: do it.

832
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

833
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: It's funny with people like they should shut AD down

834
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: for the season.

835
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

836
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: He is already like what is.

837
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 3: What are we talking about?

838
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 2: He's not knocking on the door trying to get in

839
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: the game, right, I don't know, man, Man, you know what,

840
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: quick aside, what do you think is happening on the

841
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 2: inside with the Mavericks because this doesn't make any sense.

842
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: Man.

843
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 5: I think they're trying to I think they're trying to

844
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 5: position themselves to move the team.

845
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 3: So you're like, you're you're buying that cons.

846
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 5: Alienating the fan base. Yes, you know they're raising season tickets, right, raising.

847
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: Season tickets eight?

848
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Like you cannot control Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving

849
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: getting hurt.

850
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 3: That I understand, but trading Luca and.

851
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: Then having literally as death threats are coming in, then

852
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: you walk to the podium to be like okay, okay,

853
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: we hear you.

854
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: We know you're mad. Oh, by the way, ticket prices

855
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: are going up.

856
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 2: That's when I started MyBO That's when my antenna went up.

857
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: I went, wait a minute, I've watched this.

858
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 2: I watched this the last couple of years here in

859
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 2: the Bay Area with the Oakland A's, and I watched

860
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 2: this about five to seven years ago with the San

861
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: Diego Chargers. You watch ownership groups purposefully tick.

862
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 3: Off their fans and it's like, what's going on there?

863
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: Well, this is what's going on yep.

864
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 5: And at first it was like, oh, well, you know

865
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 5: it's a conspiracy. And now all the pieces are lining up.

866
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 5: Now it's it's a situation where you're like, who wait,

867
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 5: this seems like it's tracking. They wanted to do a

868
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 5: casino on Dallas. They were like absolutely not. Okay, okay,

869
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 5: we're gonna trade Luca. We're gonna give you more money

870
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 5: back for seeing your season tickets, and we're gonna raise

871
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 5: the price next year.

872
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 3: We're giving your money back so that you can spend more.

873
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 5: And they said, we're raising the price because a fan experience.

874
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 5: We're we're gonna put that money into fan experience.

875
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh are you now? It's pretty funny, but

876
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: it's not funny. It's not funny. It's only funny because

877
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: like I'm not a Mavericks fan. Yeah, it's not funny.

878
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 4: You gotta laugh, uh to not cry?

879
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, it's infuriating if that's if that's your team,

880
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's as.

881
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 4: I would be losing my mind right now.

882
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: There they are, and they are they are Mavericks fans are.

883
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's tough for them.

884
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 3: Man, how would you feel if you're Klay Thompson.

885
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 4: Oh, he's like, what, I should have gone to the Lakers.

886
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 3: Or anywhere or anywhere. I mean, I don't know.

887
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 2: I don't expect our nationwide audience to really understand the

888
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: story of where that was. But the bottom line in

889
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 2: one minute, the story is Klay Thompson is frustrated for

890
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 2: a better part of a year and a half because

891
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: he's trying.

892
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: To overcome major, major injuries.

893
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 2: And he's getting back to the court and he's trying

894
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: to sort of be the player he used to be

895
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: as opposed to working directly with father time. That leads

896
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: to frustration. He doesn't handle that frustration well. He kind

897
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 2: of becomes a gunner, starts shooting too much, he starts

898
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: putting up bad numbers. He starts being a little bit

899
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 2: of a locker room problem, and feelings start getting hurt

900
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: between him and the Warriors. But he's a legend, a

901
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: franchise legend, so he's about to be a free agent.

902
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 2: The year before the year starts, the Warriors offer him

903
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 2: two years and forty eight million dollars.

904
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 3: He feels offended by that.

905
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 4: Man, he's just taking it, uh huh.

906
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: So then he runs through the end of the year

907
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: and basically is like, I'll sign anywhere but the Warriors.

908
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: So instead of that twenty four per year for two years,

909
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: he signs seventeen per year for three years, and is

910
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 2: wooed by the idea of I got a shot to

911
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 2: win if I play with Luca and Kyrie. And now

912
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 2: he's like, at thirteen points a game, he's their best player.

913
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: His dad said that he's in purgatory. He said that

914
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: on the air this week. And oh, by the way,

915
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: the team he left acquired Jimmy Butler can't seem to

916
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: lose a game and nobody's even uttering his name anymore in.

917
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 4: The bank, and the team that really wanted him is.

918
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 3: The two seed.

919
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 4: Man.

920
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 2: Damn, you want to talk about playing the wrong card?

921
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 4: Goodness, great. That's oh dog.

922
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 3: I feel bad for him.

923
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: That's tough. I feel bad for him and he has

924
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 2: to just sit in that like it's just which is

925
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 2: literally what he did. I don't know if you saw

926
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: did you see the viral highlight today? Yes, that guy,

927
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 2: that guy lined up against uh, what's his name, Plumbley.

928
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 3: He lined up against Plumbly in the suns. He's out

929
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 3: on the wing.

930
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: He got the ball with thirteen seconds on the shot

931
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: clock and basically pump fake for thirteen seconds and then

932
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 2: the ball just got handed to the ref.

933
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 3: I'm like, what is happening? Is? What is? What? Are

934
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 3: the Mavericks.

935
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 4: Dysfunctional?

936
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 3: Boy boy?

937
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: Okay, while we're on this NBA front, we haven't gotten

938
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,480

965
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 2: do I want to know what you think about this?

966
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you're a hoopsnake, you're a Laker fan, and

967
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 2: your dad and those three things all have entry points

968
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: to this.

969
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: Lebron James Stephen A. Smith thing for me just real quick.

970
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 2: I'll say this because you and I have this conversation

971
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 2: I think it was a week ago or two weeks

972
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 2: ago with regard to Anthony Edward's statement that he didn't

973
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 2: want to be the face of league, and Lebron came

974
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 2: out and was like, I get it. I get why

975
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to be the face of the league

976
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 2: because all all y'all do.

977
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 3: Is just talk mess all the time.

978
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 2: That's it, and then went on to have the nerrative

979
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: to say, I didn't ask for this.

980
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 3: I didn't ask for this attention.

981
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I've made billions of dollars off of it and

982
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 2: called myself the chosen one, But I didn't ask for this. Okay, Lebron,

983
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 2: yes you did. But here's what's funny. You going over

984
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: to Stephen A. Smith and telling him to leave your

985
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: son out of it. Now, you really asked for that. This,

986
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: This to.

987
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 3: Me is even worse.

988
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: Ephraim, how dare how dare Lebron James force one of

989
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 2: the proudest organizations in sports to draft his son, play

990
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 2: his son, pull his son to start him though he

991
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 2: is not qualified to do so. Then have the nerve

992
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: to tell people to not talk about him. Holy crap.

993
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 2: The only reason anybody cares is because you made it

994
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 2: so that one. This one, for me is just beyond wild.

995
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: How dare Lebron act like his son is a kid

996
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 2: at a park and someone's taking pictures of him. This

997
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 2: isn't inappropriate. You made him a Laker. You made him

998
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: a laker.

999
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 3: Couldn't believe that one man?

1000
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, so about that?

1001
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 3: About that?

1002
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: I am boy, dude, I got my popcorn ready for

1003
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: your answer.

1004
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 4: I thought it was a terrible look.

1005
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 5: It's not like Bronnie James is in college, are working

1006
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 5: at a law firm, and Steven a is speaking about

1007
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 5: him personally. He is a professional athlete, which you made happen, Lebron,

1008
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 5: And just like all professional athletes, you get scrutinized and

1009
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 5: talked about based on your ability or inability to play

1010
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 5: the actual sport that you're being paid for. So for Bronnie,

1011
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 5: it's his inability. Now, it's not a personal attack. It's

1012
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 5: not I don't think you're the greatest player ever. I'm

1013
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 5: a Jordan guy, so I'm going to tarnish and attack

1014
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 5: your son. It's he seems like he's over his head. Whatever, Steve,

1015
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 5: and they said, I don't think he's misspoke. I don't

1016
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 5: think he was overly harsh. I think he was doing

1017
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 5: his job. Now, there have been other athletes who, you know,

1018
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 5: haven't agreed with someone stephen A takes and they've approached

1019
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 5: him and all of that. Bronnie is a man, he's

1020
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 5: a grown man. If he has a problem, stephen A,

1021
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 5: he was at the game, he could have come over

1022
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 5: and said something. It would have actually been better if

1023
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 5: he would have done it.

1024
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 3: Definitely.

1025
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 4: It would have been like, oh, snap, okay, I see you, Bronnie.

1026
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 5: But then I would have been like, yo, you gotta

1027
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 5: realize that's just part of it, you know what I mean.

1028
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 4: It's not a personal attack. It's just part of it.

1029
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 5: But when your dad, dad goes, your dad dad goes

1030
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 5: to protect you, you can't do that. That's a terrible look.

1031
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 5: That is a terrible look. You brought this on yourselves,

1032
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 5: on on on your son. The Lakers drafted them for you.

1033
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 5: We all know that. And I'm okay with that. I

1034
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 5: really am. You said at the time, I am okay

1035
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 5: with I remember the debate, yep, I'm okay yep.

1036
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 4: And so what has to happen.

1037
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 5: Is you wanted it, it happened, So now you have

1038
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 5: to deal with what happened.

1039
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 4: What comes with that.

1040
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 5: As someone who's been in the league twenty two years,

1041
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 5: you know what comes with that, the good and the bad.

1042
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 5: Sports pundits and analysts and TV host sports show hosts

1043
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 5: have the right to speak about what you put on

1044
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 5: the court or what you put on tape, court, field, pitch, whatever.

1045
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 5: That's their job. And so I didn't agree with Lebron James.

1046
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 5: I thought it was a poor taste a father protecting

1047
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 5: his son. It's more than that. Your son is a

1048
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 5: professional athlete. He has to be able to fight his

1049
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 5: own battles and he doesn't need you. You can't use

1050
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 5: your cash, your cachet to save him. You being Lebron James,

1051
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 5: one of the top three best players ever, is not

1052
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 5: gonna save your son from scrutiny from his lack of

1053
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 5: abilities as of now as an NBA player, I ain't

1054
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 5: got nothing to do with you. So that's that's my feeling.

1055
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 5: That's like if I would have just all of a

1056
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 5: sudden just walk up to Steve Sager and be like, hey,

1057
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 5: I don't want you to do it out I don't

1058
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 5: want you to do too thirty after, I don't want

1059
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 5: you to do to do to update.

1060
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 7: It would be like that if you waited till you

1061
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 7: had a national television get made sure all the cameras

1062
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 7: were on. You don't meet him in the hallway or

1063
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 7: maybe the privacy of a locker room, or or god forbid,

1064
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 7: speak to him in private, like on your own phone

1065
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 7: or somebody's house or a restaurant away for it. Hey, no, no,

1066
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 7: make sure to do it. Then have I made my point?

1067
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 4: Yes?

1068
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 3: I think you made you point.

1069
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 7: Yes, Let's get to the NBA, shall we? And then

1070

1127
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 2: favorite team scores a lot in the first quarter or

1128
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 2: the first inning of a game.

1129

Speaker 3: Go save something later, got save something? Now? Know me

1130
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 3: out there wasting it all when it doesn't count.

1131
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 7: Unless he wins a job with this that would help.

1132

1136
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 2: some other stuff. I just I was kind of dumbfounded.

1137
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 2: I'm baffled that this has become such a thing. And

1138
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 2: I like what Steve sort of was insinuating there, which

1139
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: is that like, if you truly if this problem that

1140
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 2: you had, if you're lebron James with the way NBA

1142
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 2: if you really had a genuine problem with it, Yeah,

1143
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 2: you wouldn't address it at mid court. That's that's just

1144
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 2: that's like that, that's grandstanding. You're actually trying to make

1145
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 2: a different point.

1146
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could have just called him.

1147
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 3: Right, don't Actually you don't have his number?

1148
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just didn't. Well why would you even do that?

1149
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 5: Why would you even call him? Like you come home?

1150
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 4: Bro?

1151
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:54,919
Speaker 3: That's legitimizing the whole thing.

1152
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 5: You gotta get it together, man. Your son is a

1153
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 5: professional athlete. He fall was under the scrutiny and.

1154
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 4: Ridicule every other professional athlete and the history of professional

1155
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 4: athletes fall under. That's just the bottom line.

1156
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 2: Well, and I love your point. The offended party here

1157
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 2: should not be stephen A. It should be Bronnie. Yeah,

1158
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 2: because the whole thing is legitimizing the point that stephen

1159
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 2: A is making, which is that Bronnie can't handle it.

1160
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 2: Bronni cannot handle the NBA. He's not qualified and not

1161
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 2: good enough to play. So and then you legitimize it

1162
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 2: further when you got to go fight his fight for

1163
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 2: him and get mad at people for saying what's clearly

1164
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 2: obvious to everybody. And the only reason you would do

1165
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 2: that is if you felt like this was in some

1166
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: way making it harder for your son, And I would

1167
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 2: argue that means that's good because he can't handle it.

1168
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 4: Dad, Come on, man, right, Dad?

1169
01:07:54,880 --> 01:08:00,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't know, Dad, Oh gosh, the whole thing's so battering.

1170
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 2: It I what like Lebron James for all the things

1171
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: people accuse him of of arrogance, narcissism, whatever, Like nothing

1172
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: is ever to me really landed. I've always been impressed

1173
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 2: with the way this guy handles his celebrity. This is well,

1174
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 2: But for three weeks now, I'm like, where is this

1175
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 2: overly sensitive Lebron coming from?

1176
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 3: Where is this? You're Lebron brush your shoulder off.

1177
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 4: And Bronni hasn't played in forever, so like what I mean,

1178
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 4: you've been holding on it is.

1179
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 3: Right? Like it's just odd man, you've.

1180
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 5: Been really waiting to get this off your chest. What's

1181
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 5: that time Brown was in the game.

1182
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't even know. I don't

1183
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 2: look for it anymore.

1184
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, how long you've been holding on it is?

1185
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a fair question here, Like, I'll try

1186
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 2: to look it up. I'll try to look it up.

1187
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 2: When's the last time Bronnie James played in a game?

1188
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 2: He's played in eighteen games this year. Oh, we got

1189
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 2: four minutes on Tuesday? Okay, square a bucket? Yeah, perfect,

1190
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 2: squired a bucket, miss, both of his threes, got a

1191
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 2: rebound and a turnover.

1192
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's.

1193
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 2: And those are those are his only four minutes since

1194
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 2: February twelfth.

1195
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, let that go. Man let him go. Let's

1196
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 4: just just let him do his thing.

1197
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 2: Well, in a way, I sort of feel like there's

1198
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 2: an overlap between this and the little Charles Barkley Kendrick

1199
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: Perkins spat.

1200
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 3: Well.

1201
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 2: I wonder if you do too. It's kind of like

1202
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: when I hear Charles Barkley say what he said, and

1203
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: for those of you who didn't hear it, his essentially

1204
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 2: his point was, well, talking head to ESPN, led by

1205
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 2: that idiot Kendrick Perkins. All they do is talk about

1206
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers and the Warriors. All they do is talk

1207
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 2: about Lebron.

1208
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 5: And staff because he said that the Lakers, uh, that

1209
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 5: saved the NBA this season. Correct, Kendrick Perkins.

1210
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 3: Correct.

1211
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: And Charles' point is the real stories are Oklahoma City

1212
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 2: and Cleveland. No one cares. And I'm like, no, that, Like,

1213
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 2: you don't earn no one cares. You don't earn storyhood

1214
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 2: by winning. You earn storyhood by the public caring about you.

1215
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 2: The public decides who the story is, not the broadcasters.

1216
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 2: So Charles can talk about whatever he wants because he's

1217
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 2: Charles and he's just entertaining on his own. But the

1218
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 2: rest of the world, I don't want to hear about

1219
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 2: Darius Garland and and and so therefore.

1220
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 3: What do we hear about. We hear about Bronnie James

1221
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 3: and Lebron knows that he knows.

1222
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 2: That's why he's a story. So I don't know. Man,

1223
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 2: hold the whole thing pretty that's pretty head scratching to me.

1224
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah scratching.

1225
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 2: Right now, we're in the tyrech dot Com studios. We'll

1226
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 2: circle back to the NFL coming up next. Big moves

1227
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 2: by wide receivers, but let's switch it over to the

1228
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 2: other side.

1229
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

1230
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 2: Is it novelty or is it a perfect match made

1231
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 2: in Heaven? Tell you what we're talking about in a

1232
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: moment with Ibram Salam, Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio, Okay,

1233
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Tyrich dot Com Studios.

1234
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 3: Josh Allen got a new deal.

1235
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 2: We should talk about that and the trick will down

1236
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 2: effect because some think he got less than Dak Prescott,

1237
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 2: others think he got more. We'll explain and do that

1238
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour. How do you feel

1239
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: about not one Bosa but two on a defensive line?

1240
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: How does that grab you? I mean, I'm interested in

1241
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 2: what that means. One is really good, Yeah, okay, you're

1242
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 2: talking about Nicky.

1243
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 5: The other one is just his brother. Wow, can't stay healthy,

1244
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 5: So what's the point. That's the bottom line.

1245
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 4: I mean, he can't say healthy, right, It's it's one

1246
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 4: of those situations where it'd be cool to have both

1247
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 4: of the brothers out there, and he probably unlock a

1248
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 4: little bit of something in him to play with his

1249
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 4: little brother, you know, so put a little edge to

1250
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 4: a little competition there.

1251
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 5: So I think that's the best way to get more

1252
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 5: productivity out of him, either there or go somewhere else

1253
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 5: where there's a dynamic edge rusher. Go to Cleveland, the

1254
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 5: opposite of Miles Garrett. You're gonna get all the one

1255
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 5: on ones you want.

1256
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 2: You're not calling it Cleveland, man, You're not going to Cleveland.

1257
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 2: The only other rumor out there is Miami, and that

1258
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: just showed up. But I mean, as of last night,

1259
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 2: I can tell you the people who I talked to

1260
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 2: are around these parts thought that the Niners and Joey

1261
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: Bosa are moving moving down the road to a deal

1262
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: pretty fast.

1263
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 4: Well, okay, that's always great to play with your brother.

1264
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's been my question all along.

1265
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Like the rumor comes up, and you know, as soon

1266
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: as Joey got released, their mom is on Instagram doing

1267
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 2: let's do it addition of Joey to the Bay And

1268
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, are you like thinking that this would be

1269
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 2: great for the Niners or do you just want to

1270
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 2: save on your travel budget? You know, like I'm I'm

1271
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 2: looking at this and and what you just said spoke

1272
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: volumes to me. Is Joey Bosa still that top five

1273
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 2: pick in the draft or is this just a novelty

1274
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 2: because everyone's.

1275
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 3: Like, oh, this would be cool.

1276
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 2: Why would would it be cool because they would be

1277
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: a dominant force on two sides of a defensive line,

1278
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 2: or because they have the same name on the back.

1279
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 3: Of their jersey name. Yeah, then I'm out. I'm out.

1280
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that that team needs to rework

1281
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 2: their entire defensive line. It's the heartbeat of it's the

1282
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 2: way that that team has been built. It's the way

1283
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 2: that that regime builds their entire football team from the

1284
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:04,759
Speaker 2: defensive line out. And when they were great, that's that's

1285
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 2: where they've gotten tons of production.

1286
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 3: And last year it was very mediocre.

1287
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 2: Allows opposing teams to focus squarely on Nick and nothing

1288
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,959
Speaker 2: else and they couldn't get anything done. And they've released

1289
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 2: two more people off that defensive line, like barely before

1290
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,719
Speaker 2: this conversation got started, Like they are starting from scratch,

1291
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa and scratch, that's it.

1292
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 3: And so I think you need you need something.

1293
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Dynamic on the other end, not someone who will play

1294
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 2: eight games.

1295
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 5: That's that's as accurate as you Will said. Will said,

1296
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 5: We're not going for you know, feel good stories. We

1297
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 5: need some actual help. And like I said, look, maybe

1298
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 5: that's just what he needs to really restart his trajectory.

1299
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 5: Because he came into the league, you know, causing a ruckus.

1300
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 3: This good player, yeah, good player.

1301
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 5: Right yep, and then injuries and then coming back from

1302
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 5: injuries nothing and it just you know, so maybe he

1303
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 5: needs a little bit of his brother's mojo to to

1304
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 5: really get it going and jump into it.

1305
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 3: Trying to look at this.

1306
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 2: So rookie year was twenty sixteen contract holdout, but started

1307
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 2: eleven games and was defensive Rookie of the Year. Year

1308
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 2: two sixteen games, and this is back when sixteen games

1309
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 2: was actually a full season year three seven games. Then

1310
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 2: he got another sixteen in there, then he had a twelve,

1311
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 2: then he had another sixteen in there, and by then

1312
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty one and he's a four time pro

1313
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 2: bowler and he's defensive Rookie of the Year. Now, let's

1314
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 2: look at the last three seasons. The last three seasons,

1315
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 2: and this is when it was a seventeen game schedule,

1316
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa has played appeared.

1317
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 3: In twenty eight games.

1318
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 2: He has started eighteen games seventeen times three is fifty one.

1319
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 2: That's how many possible games, fifty one and he's played

1320
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,560
Speaker 2: in twenty eight of them and started.

1321
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 3: Eighteen of them.

1322
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not good.

1323
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 3: Although he got a Pro Bowl now last year.

1324
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 4: That's not hard to do it anymore.

1325
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 2: Five sacks a Pro Bowl with five sacks he's had

1326
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 2: he has had a total of fourteen sacks over the

1327
01:17:57,960 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 2: last three seasons.

1328
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 4: That's not it.

1329
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like we're just getting started, and

1330
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 2: tomorrow is that legal tampering period and all of that,

1331
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 2: and then free agency for real starts on Wednesday. Like,

1332
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: I have found a lot of what we've gotten so

1333
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 2: far to be kind of head scratching. You know, this,

1334
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 2: this this Bosa thing, well, head scratching to me, Miles

1335
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: Garrett to wake up and find out that.

1336
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,879
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, we'll take your money. Like head scratching.

1337
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 2: It is to me like I thought you actually had

1338
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,799
Speaker 2: I thought this demand had a backbone. No, and then

1339
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf to the Steelers. Is I mean George Pickens

1340
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 2: and DK Metcalf and no quarterback is objectively hysterical, No quarterback.

1341
01:18:56,080 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 2: They're both gonna go nuts, They're gonna go complete.

1342
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 3: I mean, those are big personalities.

1343
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 4: Those are real big personalities.

1344
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,919
Speaker 2: So I don't, Yeah, I don't really, I don't understand

1345
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 2: what we've gotten so far.

1346
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 3: Any any moves that you've seen that you like.

1347
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 4: I like the the Davante Adams to the Rams.

1348
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with you.

1349
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 5: Great move. Thought that was a great move. I like

1350
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 5: them taking care of Josh Allen. Now, I thought that

1351
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 5: was a great move coming off m MVP season. Those

1352
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 5: two are you know?

1353
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 4: Great? I hate that they franchise tag Tray Smith.

1354
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, t Higgins too. All right, let's get into

1364
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 2: my favorite headline of the day. It's on Twitter right now.

1365
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 2: Are you ready for it? Here it is he from

1366
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 2: Steelers set to surprise with offer to quarterback Sam Donald. Well,

1367
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 2: he's not a surprise anymore. Y'all went and ruined it,

1368
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 2: so it's not a surprise. And if I'm Sam Donald,

1369
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm not even thinking about that place at all. I'm

1370
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 2: gonna go to a cold weather division with two superstar

1371
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and two hmm, big personality wide receivers who both

1372
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 2: really really want the ball. I think probably not. But

1373
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 2: let's talk about a different quarterback. Let's talk about one

1374
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks who made a lot of news today,

1375
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 2: and that is Josh Allen with a new six year

1376
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 2: contract extension worth thirty three hundred and thirty million dollars.

1377
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 2: I got to figure out, and I'll just ask you

1378
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 2: this right here on the air. I got to figure

1379
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 2: out how as radio hosts we can talk about quarterback

1380
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 2: contracts so that our listeners understand what we're talking about

1381
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 2: without us having to go so deep into the weeds,

1382
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 2: because everybody gets stuck on average per year, and Josh

1383
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 2: Allen got fifty five million per year, And I think

1384
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 2: a very very smart fan can be like, excuse me,

1385
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 2: why is Dak Prescott making sixty per year and Josh

1386
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 2: Allen just signed a new deal for fifty five? Like

1387
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 2: what's that about. However, if you want to dive into

1388
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,640
Speaker 2: the guarantees of a contract, Josh is now where he

1389
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 2: should be number one in the whole NFL. Two hundred

1390
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 2: and fifty million of it is guaranteed.

1391
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 5: And I think that's the difference you as fans, you

1392
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:22,799
Speaker 5: have to understand it's about the totality of the money

1393
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 5: you're bringing home, not your yearly salary. I don't have

1394
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 5: it in front of me right now. So I'm eating

1395
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:32,759
Speaker 5: an apple. I just broke my fast.

1396
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 3: What kind of apple?

1397
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 4: It's one of those.

1398
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 2: I get very excited by this, Like, what kind of

1399
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: apples do people like?

1400
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 4: It's a little red apple. They come in they called

1401
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:43,839
Speaker 4: rocket apples.

1402
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm familiar with that rocket apples.

1403
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 4: Rocket. Yeah.

1404
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 3: Is that like a kind of apple or a brand?

1405
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 4: I think it's the brand. Whatever it is is. They're good.

1406
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 4: They're like candy apples, those little mini ones.

1407
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, rocket like with an it yep, Okay, I'm

1408
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: just looking at it right now.

1409
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 3: I still don't know what kind of apple it.

1410
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 4: It's so good.

01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 3: Okay. Oh my goodness, I'm just still doing that. Huh.

01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 4: This has only been eight days, nine days.

Speaker 5: right around five fifty the you know, now that's six fifty.

1426
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 4: That extra hour is brutal.

1427
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

1428
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 4: Oh, it's brutal.

1429
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

1430
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 4: So I was sitting here going, oh, man.

1431
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I could hear you.

1432
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 2: You sounded like a like a toy battery was running low,

1433
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 2: winding down.

1434
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 7: Man.

1435
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but look at you now. You knock it out

1436
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 2: yet You're back. Do the whole hour?

1437
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 5: Power aid zero. Give my electro lights in my rocket, Apple,

1438
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 5: got it. I brought a sandwich.

1439
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh mm hmm. What's on the sandwich.

1440
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 4: It's just a little pastrami.

1441
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, pastrama don that's what I called after

1442
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 2: last week.

1443
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's because.

1444
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 2: That's yeah, yeah, all right.

1445
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh anyway, Josh Allen and guarantees.

1446
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 5: The two hundred and fifty million is the thing that

1447
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter the years. It's who's bringing home the

1448
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 5: most money, no matter what. And that is the highest

1449
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 5: number anyone's ever had. So Dak Prescott can make it,

1450
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 5: you know, sixty a year because he has one less year.

1451
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 5: I believe it's a five year deal, correct, Yeah, so yeah,

1452
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 5: it's a six year deal, and which in essence is more.

1453
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 5: If he's averaging fifty five a year and it's another year,

1454
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 5: I would say it's more.

1455
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 4: It's more.

1456
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's more guarantees than Joe Burrow. It's more.

1457
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 2: It's fifty million more guaranteed than Trevor Lawrence. And when

1458
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 2: people say what Jordan Love and Josh Allen make the

1459
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 2: exact same amount, it.

1460
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 3: Is ninety million more guaranteed.

1461
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 2: Yes, for Josh Allen and for NFL players and for

1462
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 2: the structure of this league.

1463
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 3: The guarantee is the thing.

1464
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 2: But we're all sitting here watching this because I think

1465
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 2: people see fifty five per year, and I know what

1466
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 2: NFL fans do. We immediately start going into our mind

1467
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 2: on the comps. Like Gino Smith just got traded to

1468
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 2: the Raiders because the Seahawks were not willing to give

1469
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 2: him between forty and forty five million or something like that,

1470
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 2: around forty five million, and the Raiders are expected to say, sure,

1471
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,719
Speaker 2: let's do that. Now, if you compare that to Josh Allen,

1472
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 2: you're like, what are you talking about? You wouldn't sign

1473
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 2: for forty Josh, just sign for fifty five. But they're

1474
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 2: so different, the length of the contract, the guarantees, And

1475
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 2: this does affect other quarterbacks who are currently sitting here

1476
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 2: looking at the landscape of the whole thing. And the

1477
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 2: biggest of this offseason is Rock Party obviously, So how

1478
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 2: does this Josh Allen deal, How does it affect what

1479
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: the Niners in Brock Purty are doing.

1480
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 4: Man, they should have got that deal done early.

1481
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Well, you sound like a damn broken record, because that's

1482
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,640
Speaker 2: exactly what should They would have had Brandon Aiyuk for

1483
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 2: four million less if they had just done it at

1484
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the summer.

1485
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 4: You got to learn from your mistakes.

1486
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 5: Business wise, they should have gotten Brock Party out the way,

1487
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 5: got to a number they both agreed on, didn't let anybody.

1488
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 4: Raise the market.

1489
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm sure they didn't even see the

1490
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 5: Josh Allen extension coming.

1491
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 4: Well, he had two years left on his deal.

1492
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 2: Right, you know what, I'd have to look that up.

1493
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Probably, yeah, I don't know.

1494
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 5: They were like, oh yeah, oh no, So now they're

1495
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 5: gonna have to get rock Party around two hundred plus

1496
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 5: fully guaranteed.

1497
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 4: That's just what it is.

1498
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 5: You know, five year deal for whatever that number is yearly,

1499
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 5: but two hundred plus of it is gonna have to

1500
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 5: be fully guaranteed.

1501
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 4: So they should have just got that out the way.

1502
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 4: Man literally should have just been like, all right, let's

1503
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 4: just all right, let's get this out of it. Let's

1504
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 4: we got you. It's fifty, let's give him fifty a year.

1505
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh gosh, yeah, absolutely absolutely. And you know what,

1506
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 2: that may be what people head to the internet with.

1507
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 2: It may end up being about fifty, But but it's

1508
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 2: it's the guarantees that yeah, because.

1509
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 5: It are going to be going to a five year,

1510
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty million dollar deal with two hundred

1511
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 5: of it fully guaranteed, giving you out in the fifth year.

1512
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 2: You know what the problem with that is, though, Like

1513
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 2: do you know what you like? What you just said

1514
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 2: doesn't even beat Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, but and how and

1515
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 2: like Trevor got two hundred guaranteed at fifty five a year.

1516
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think brock Party takes fifty a year, leaving

1517
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 5: some for you know, putting those pieces that he needs

1518
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 5: around him. Yeah, but you don't start at forty five. No,

1519
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,719
Speaker 5: that's faulty. That's the problem.

1520
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 3: I think that report was false.

1521
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that like that that report was was

1522
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 2: false that the night because I'm with you, and I

1523
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 2: had this conversation with with with some friends here here

1524
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 2: in the bay this week. It's like, it doesn't matter

1525
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,560
Speaker 2: for a moment what anybody's Brock Purty.

1526
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 3: Opinion is on what you know. TJ.

1527
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 2: Huschman Zada was on the herd this week being like,

1528
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 2: can't give more than forty seven a year.

1529
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, I can't even argue with you.

1530
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 2: If you want to say, hey, Purty's not elite, he

1531
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 2: shouldn't be up there in this conversation with Burrow and Allen,

1532
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 2: you can say that, but when you also then look

1533
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 2: at the landscape of what other quarterbacks have gotten. I

1534
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 2: can tell you if I were Rock Parties agent and

1535
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 2: I sat down with the Niners for the first conversation

1536
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 2: and they said, all right, we're looking at you know,

1537
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifty million guaranteed, and we would

1538
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,879
Speaker 2: like to do forty five million per year average salary.

1539
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have even spoken. I'd have left. I would

1540
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 3: have left, Yep.

1541
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 2: The only thing I would have said is I can't

1542
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 2: believe that you guys wasted my time.

1543
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 4: He insulting.

1544
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 3: I came all the way down here for this.

1545
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 4: I canceled plans.

1546
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, please don't do that again.

1547
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 2: Happy to come back when you guys want to have

1548
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 2: an actual adult conversation.

1549
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 5: So it's crazy to me, the posturing. You know you're

1550
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 5: gonna pay him, so just pay him the money.

1551
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 2: So weird too, because prior to this year, they already

1552
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 2: went out in the public and said that, right, they're

1553
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 2: like the owner a year ago. It's like, yeah, it's

1554
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 2: gonna be top of the market deal. It's just the

1555
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 2: way it works. And obviously that's because they were coming

1556
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 2: off of a Super Bowl appearance. Then everything goes sideways

1557
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 2: and now you're gonna you know, you're gonna try to

1558
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:33,759
Speaker 2: send the train back in the other direction.

1559
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 3: It's delayed. Yeah, he's too accomplished.

1560
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 4: One way track.

1561
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks, a couple others who are potentially out there,

1562
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:48,839
Speaker 2: and I want to see what you think with regard

1563
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:50,640
Speaker 2: to where they may end up, where they should end

1564
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 2: up with he from salam I Mark Wheler. That's coming

1577
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 2: He'd like to go somewhere where he's got a chance

1578
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 2: to start. If you're the Falcons, how would you handle

1579
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 2: that request?

1580
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 4: Let him go, let him go. I would.

1581
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 5: You know, trade him to somewhere he he wants to

1582
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 5: go and try to get something for Obviously you're going

1583
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 5: with Michael Pennix moving forward, So I mean, are we

1584
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 5: gonna hold on to him? We're gonna keep him there?

1585
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so.

1586
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,799
Speaker 2: But you need money, Yeah, but you need a partner,

1587
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 2: you know, as you just said, try to get something

1588
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 2: for him.

1589
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm still so.

1590
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:26,839
Speaker 2: Blown away by the amount of money that the Atlanta

1591
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 2: Falcons are gonna end up having paid for what thirteen

1592
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 2: fourteen games of Kirk Cousins.

1593
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, about what one hundred dollars?

1594
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 3: Good lord, good lord. Yeah. I don't know what he's

1595
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 3: gout left.

1596
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what the right situation is for him.

1597
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 2: Send him back to Minnesota.

1598
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 4: I don't think that happens.

1599
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 3: Why not? It seems to me to be the perfect situation.

1600
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:12,640
Speaker 5: No, no, no, If you're just thinking football wise, yeah,

1601
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 5: but optically and personally, it's not. You don't a place

1602
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:19,719
Speaker 5: where you're starting, You go back and now you're a backup,

1603
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 5: you know, behind a kid who hasn't even played yet.

1604
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 2: Well, but I don't know that you would be. That's

1605
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 2: kind of the point. I mean, yeah, you are, you are.

1606
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 2: You're dealing with someone who's never played before, and you're

1607
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 2: and and and is coming off of a major injury.

1608
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 2: So like, I don't know, JJ McCarthy just gonna automatically

1609
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 2: get the job week one.

1610
01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 5: I think them moving Sam Donald. Yes, well, I don't

1611
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 5: think they're going to bring someone in to kind of

1612
01:34:55,479 --> 01:35:01,679
Speaker 5: redo what they you know, probably would have done this year.

1613
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 2: Man, that that's a that's a pretty wild scenario, to

1614
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 2: be honest with you. That's a pretty wild scenario to

1615
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 2: me to uh, to see what the Vikings achieved this year,

1616
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:21,799
Speaker 2: to win that many football games and and then respond

1617
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 2: to that by handing everything over to a rookie coming

1618
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,560
Speaker 2: off of a major injury.

1619
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I get it, But I don't know if there's

1620
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:40,799
Speaker 5: a place for the former star quarterback to come back

1621
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 5: after you use the draft capital on JJ McCarthy. That

1622
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 5: is a sticky situation. Yep, that is a situation that

1623
01:35:56,080 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 5: I don't think JJ McCarthy benefits from because what you

1624
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 5: don't want to do is you don't want to stifle

1625
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 5: his growth in terms of if you think he can

1626
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 5: be a franchise quarterback. When you add these different elements

1627
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:19,680
Speaker 5: into what's going on, That's what it feels like. All Right,

1628
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 5: you had to watch Sam Darnell. Granted you hurt yourself.

1629
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 5: Sam had a fantastic year, fell off towards the end

1630
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 5: last two games. He's moved on. Oh, you brought the

1631
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 5: guy back that Sam and I both replaced. So in

1632
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 5: terms of his growth and development, where does that leave him?

1633
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 5: And now you can waste another year? Right and then

1634
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 5: you could you know, say Kirk Cousins comes in and

1635
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 5: he picks up where he left off before he got

1636
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 5: hurt and takes him to the NFC Championship game, and

1637
01:36:54,520 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 5: here do you then what do you do? You send

1638
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 5: them pack in for JJ McCarthy the third year or

1639
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 5: do you ride the hot hand? Now you're three four

1640
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 5: years into a five year There's so many things that

1641
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 5: can go wrong for you not to be able to

1642
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 5: maximize the draft capital. You spit on JJ McCarthy, I

1643
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 5: did it?

1644
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 3: Why?

1645
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 4: I say?

1646
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 2: I get it at the same time, and I guess, look,

1647
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:27,919
Speaker 2: until Sam is not still a member of the Vikings,

1648
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 2: I guess we shouldn't act like he's not and that

1649
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 2: he's gone.

1650
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 3: But you know, if we're to believe the way that

1651
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 3: this is.

1652
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,640
Speaker 2: All trending right now, and I get it, the Vikings

1653
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 2: they used a very very hefty pick on a quarterback

1654
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:45,679
Speaker 2: and so that that is going to be the future

1655
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings.

1656
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 3: But nobody could have seen coming that.

1657
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,600
Speaker 2: What was going to happen last year happened, And I

1658
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 2: find it hard to believe that the Vikings are are

1659
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 2: having an easy time just turning the page from that, Like, Okay,

1660
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 2: we went fourteen and three, but never mind, never mind,

1661
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:11,600
Speaker 2: We're just gonna.

1662
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 3: We go back to the starting blox.

1663
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 2: With the highest paid wide receiver in the sport, and

1664
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 2: we're just gonna hand all of this that is now

1665
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 2: established and in place and ready to go. You're bringing

1666
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 2: your receivers back, you re sign your running back today.

1667
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 3: You have a.

1668
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:32,600
Speaker 2: Plus defense, you have an amazing defensive coordinator, you have

1669
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 2: an amazing head coach slash offensive coordinator. You've got all

1670
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 2: of this stuff going, and you're just gonna You're just

1671
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 2: gonna be like.

1672
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 3: No, I'm pretty sure we got to pick right. Well,

1673
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:48,080
Speaker 3: tough man. They know.

1674
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 4: You know more about what that is than we do.

1675
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 3: Do they.

1676
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:56,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's not act like politics. Don't drive

1677
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 2: the bus on time.

1678
01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 4: I get it.

1679
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 5: But they understand him in terms of mechanics, his grasp

1680
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 5: of the offense, all of it. They've seen him in

1681
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 5: a way we haven't because he we didn't get a

1682
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 5: chance to really get.

1683
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:09,480
Speaker 4: A good look at him.

1684
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 5: Right, Like remember when Patrick I'm not comparing him to

1685
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 5: remember that when the Kansas City was just burning down

1686
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 5: the house and Patrick, everybody.

1687
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:21,559
Speaker 4: Was like Patrick Omeo was pretty good at birthdays.

1688
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 5: We were all like Alex Smith was doing it and

1689
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 5: they were killing and everybody was going.

1690
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was an active, healthy quarterback all year. Yeah.

1691
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is they were like, man, they

1692
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 4: better not lose one game. I think they were like

1693
01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 4: fifteen and one at one point or something like that,

1694
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:40,679
Speaker 4: and they were like, man, if they lose Patrick Mahomes

1695
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 4: going in, it's just never lost.

1696
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 3: They never lost, right, And then they got to the playoffs.

1697
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 4: Right, but he got lost.

1698
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 5: He got that final regular season game, and you know,

1699
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 5: of course he's turned into what they thought he was

1700
01:39:56,160 --> 01:40:00,959
Speaker 5: and what they saw in him. Same with Russell Wilson

1701
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 5: in Seattle with Matt Flynn as the starting quarterback the

1702
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 5: High probably with a ten million dollar quarterback or whatever,

1703
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 5: and they were just like.

1704
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 4: No, we're gonna go with the fourth round draft pick.

1705
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 5: So if they're willing to move off Sam, is what

1706
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:25,639
Speaker 5: I'm saying, then they must like what they have in McCarthy. Now,

1707
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 5: he had a surgery, but he's been working out. He

1708
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:32,519
Speaker 5: hasn't just been on the shelf rehabbing. The injury he

1709
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 5: had was fixed, and he had because there was there

1710
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 5: was a window where they could have brought him back,

1711
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 5: but they decided to take the whole year. So he's

1712
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 5: been there, he's been putting in the work, he's been

1713
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 5: in the classroom. So they obviously know something or like

1714
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 5: something about JJ McCarthy that I think if you bring

1715
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 5: in Kirk Cousins, it takes away from that.

1716
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:01,520
Speaker 3: Understood.

1717
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 2: I get, yeah, I get the situation. It just it

1718
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 2: feels like it feels like a whole lot to hand

1719
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:13,719
Speaker 2: over to somebody who I don't care what they've seen

1720
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 2: in practice. It feels like a lot to hand over

1721
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 2: to somebody who hasn't proven it.

1722
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 5: Okay, well, how about we hand over to somebody who

1723
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 5: has proven it and does that when the lights come

1724
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:27,600
Speaker 5: on and not just practice. How about we hand it

1725
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:30,719
Speaker 5: over to Steven, handover to Sega.

Speaker 7: he gets one fourth of that nice three days for

1820

1821
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 7: gets two and a quarter million. Phil Mickelson got one

01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,679
Speaker 2: Back to you, my goodness, And you know that's Steve.

1828
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 2: That athletics thing that you're talking about. It's sort of

1829
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:25,519
Speaker 2: the opposite of when Washington was the Washington football team,

1830
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 2: where like at that point it was just like, we're

1831
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 2: just Washington, Like, don't call us anything, We're just Washington.

1832
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:37,599
Speaker 2: And yeah, the the athletics are the absolute opposite of that.

1833
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:41,599
Speaker 2: And quite frankly, I don't even know if they're ever

1834
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 2: going to end up in Vegas either. They may just

1835
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 2: sort of spin in this sort of scenario for a while.

1836
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 3: I'll tell you where this is going.

1837
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 7: It's sounding promising. It's hardly official, because you know, we

1838
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:55,200
Speaker 7: still got three years at least in Sacramento. But since

1839
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:57,600
Speaker 7: they do have a home, ladies and gentlemen, can't we

1840
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 7: just say sae. I mean, do you know that they're

1841
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 7: gonna have Las Vegas printed on the sleeves of their jerseys?

1842
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,800

1844
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 7: on the sleeve of the jersey for the I can't

1845
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,680
Speaker 7: call them Sacramento as for the AA. By the way,

1846
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 7: the collectors would know this. The baseball cards from fifty

1847
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,520
Speaker 7: years ago when Dave Winfield was starting with the Padres,

1848
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 7: the Padres were almost gonna move to Washington, DC, which

1849
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 7: did not have a ball club at the time. They

1850
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 7: had to print the baseball cards before the season was starting.

1851
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 7: They didn't know if they were gonna stay in town

1852
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 7: or go to DC. So if you look at the cards,

1853
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:45,919
Speaker 7: it says Washington National League. The word Padres is nowhere

1854
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 7: on there. So you have a Winfield card, for example,

1855
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 7: he's in a Padres uniform. He's got an SD on

1856
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,639
Speaker 7: the cap. But they didn't know if they were moving.

1857
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 7: And it turns out Ray Kroc, the guy who ran

1858
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 7: all the McDonald's, bought the Padres kept them in San Diego,

1859
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 7: and that's why to this day they are still known

1860
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 7: as the San Diego Ponders.

1861
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,639
Speaker 3: That's right. If you look back at their sleeves.

1862
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 7: The first time that ever made the playoffs, in eighty four. Yeah,

1863
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,120
Speaker 7: he passed away right before the eighty four season.

1864
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:22,799
Speaker 2: Amazing, amazing, And yeah, the difference between some owners and others,

1865
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:25,320
Speaker 2: which is why, by the way, there's a weird story

1866
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 2: kind of bopping around. Arnie was was texting me about

1867
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,879
Speaker 2: it a couple of hours ago about how other owners

1868
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:37,600
Speaker 2: in baseball are pressuring the sale of the Tampa Bay Rays.

1869
01:49:37,479 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 7: Not liking the owner, Yes, not.

1870
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 2: Liking the owner, and and and so people in the

1871
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 2: East Bay here in California are like, I'm sorry, excuse me.

1872
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 2: You don't like the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays,

1873
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 2: but you're fine with.

1874
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 3: This schmuck and this.

1875
01:49:58,160 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 7: For twenty years.

1876
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly, there's nothing new.

1877
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 7: I mean, they have been having a stadium in attendance

1878
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 7: problems for twenty years.

1879
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:09,240
Speaker 3: For a long time. And by the way, they.

1880
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 7: Are not playing at the usual Saint Pete Dome. They

1881
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 7: are moving to the Yankee spring training facility to play

1882
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:17,760
Speaker 7: their home games this season after the hurricane damage at

1883
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 7: Tropicana Field. So the A's games are going to be

1884
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 7: in a minor league small ballpark, and the Rays games

1885
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 7: will be at a small spring training ballpark all season.

1886
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 2: Get your tickets when those two match up. Pretty exciting stuff.

1887
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 7: In other words, perhaps the size of the park kind

1888
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:35,759
Speaker 7: of fits the normal attendance.

1889
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 3: Final me to no doubt, no doubt, and we can

1890
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 3: be a packed house.

1891
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can have some fun with my partner here

1892
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 2: from name one player on either team.

1893
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 4: Couldn't do it.

1894
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,120
Speaker 3: There you go, There you have it.

1895
01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 4: Couldn't do it.

1896
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:47,600
Speaker 3: There you have it.

1897
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley thinks we should be talking about him though,

1898
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:56,320
Speaker 2: big story, big story, right, Thank you, Steve, appreciate that. Hey,

1899
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,879
Speaker 2: off the top of the show, we got into Miles Garrett,

1900
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 2: and there's a piece of the Miles Garrett story that

1901
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:04,479
Speaker 2: I don't feel like we dedicated enough time to And

1902
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:05,679
Speaker 2: I really really want.

1903
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 3: To ask you about it.

1904
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 2: You're more qualified to talk about it than I am,

1905
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 2: So we'll do that coming up next with he from Salama,

1906
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:17,599
Speaker 2: Mark Willard, This is Fox Sports Radio. All right. We're

1907
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 2: in the tirag dot com studios. Mark Wellardy from Salam

1908
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 2: so started off the show today talking about Miles Garrett,

1909
01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 2: and I'll freely admit two things. One, I've never walked

1910
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 2: in financial shoes like that. In Two, I still can't

1911
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 2: understand it. I can't understand it. And here's the part

1912
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:44,640
Speaker 2: of the conversation. I don't feel like you and I

1913
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:52,200
Speaker 2: got far enough into talk to me, man, what is

1914
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 2: the difference between forty million and thirty five million? If

1915
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 2: I take take away the answer five million, what's what's

1916
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 2: the difference If the thirty five million is offering you

1917
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 2: what you supposedly want in terms of opportunity to win,

1918
01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 2: in terms of quality organization, Why would a bunch more

1919
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 2: money when you're already well taken care of for the

1920
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 2: rest of your life and your family's lives.

1921
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 3: Why does it matter so much?

1922
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think we could say, you know, with

1923
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:42,760
Speaker 5: all certainty how he sees his family being taken care of.

1924
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 5: Right in Layman's term, it's like, yeah, man, that's you know,

1925
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,840
Speaker 5: the thirty five million, forty million, what's the big deal?

1926
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 5: But in reality it is a big deal. And look,

1927
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:57,759
Speaker 5: he didn't want I don't believe he wanted to leave Cleveland.

1928
01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 5: I believe he loves Cleveland. I believe he is a

1929
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:06,520
Speaker 5: staple there. Miles Garrett is the biggest thing in Cleveland, period.

1930
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:10,880
Speaker 5: He's the biggest thing in Cleveland. So just imagine his

1931
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 5: life off the field, even without the success that they

1932
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 5: thought they were going to have on the field. Imagine

1933
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:21,960
Speaker 5: what his life is there in Cleveland. Sure, right, he

1934
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 5: is the lebron of Cleveland right now, more so than

1935
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 5: any of the Cavaliers.

1936
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:31,400
Speaker 4: Or any of that.

1937
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 5: Even though they're winning and they're dominant, he is still

1938
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 5: the marquee thing in Cleveland. And so walking away from that,

1939
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 5: it's tough. Now you can light a fire under an

1940
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 5: organization and kind of snap them into hey, are we

1941
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 5: doing this or not and them committing to you, and

1942
01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,760
Speaker 5: then I'm interested to see what their next moves will be.

1943
01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 5: Is actually at the quarterback position, they still owe Deshaun

1944
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 5: Watson what one hundred million dollars or something like that.

1945
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 4: How much is left on that deal? Good lord, whatever

1946
01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 4: it is they owe them, they owe them all that.

1947
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:19,040
Speaker 2: So they've restructured it multiple times, right, But if I'm

1948
01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:23,240
Speaker 2: to look at what is kind of at its core

1949
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:29,160
Speaker 2: still still coming, it's yeah, nor it's north of, well

1950
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:34,040
Speaker 2: north of fifty million dollars. I mean his base salary,

1951
01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 2: not this coming season, but the year after that.

1952
01:54:37,040 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 3: His base salary is forty.

1953
01:54:38,240 --> 01:54:40,919
Speaker 4: Six million dollars, which they have to pay right.

1954
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 5: Right, So you know, do they give it one last

1955
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 5: goal with them just because they're paying them to give

1956
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 5: it a goal, or is it a situation where they're like, look,

1957
01:54:56,440 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 5: you can be here, but we have to, you know,

1958
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:02,360
Speaker 5: find your replacement.

1959
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1960
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 2: No, I know how hesitant those in the professional sports

1961
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 2: community are when it comes to talking about other people's

1962
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 2: money getting in their pockets all of that stuff. I

1963
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 2: guess at the core of what I'm saying because I

1964
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 2: don't really care, to be honest with you, Like I've

1965
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:27,760
Speaker 2: wrapped my head around these numbers and they're not wrappable, right,

1966
01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, Like these like an NBA player is making

1967
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year. They're making seven hundred and

1968
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars a night when they go play these

1969
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:37,840
Speaker 2: basketball games.

1970
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 3: So I don't.

1971
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 2: Mind the numbers. They're just numbers. It's somebody else's life

1972
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 2: and their money. But Miles Garrett has made one hundred

1973
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 2: and twenty four million dollars in his life just on

1974
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 2: the field already before any of this started, and now

1975
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 2: is going to have a four year extension at forty

1976
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 2: person that's another one hundred and six that million, and

1977
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 2: that that rolls into Miles being.

1978
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:08,720
Speaker 3: Thirty three years old. So in theory.

1979
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 2: That's close to three hundred million dollars and that's just

1980
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 2: on the field, and we know it goes a lot

1981
01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 2: deeper than that. So if all of that is there,

1982
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't care what your lifestyle is. I don't care

1983
01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 2: about it. Like money is no object. Forty million a year,

1984
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 2: thirty seven a year, whatever. There's two things I understand.

1985
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 2: I understand that there's ego involved, and I understand that

1986
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 2: there's other people involved.

1987
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 3: I know there's an agent. I know that there's the

1988
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:44,800
