0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in What Driving the Great? Episode two fifty four

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>A ton to Do Today? All Sports on Today's show,

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>No Networkers Sports media Commentary. However, I did do Colin

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Coward's podcast last night, and he is often does baited

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>me after a couple because Colin, Colin and I do

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>these podcasts at night and we're both having a cocktail,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>and then he usually about an hour into the podcast,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>when I think it's about over and I'm, you know,

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 2>finishing my large glass of wine that I started with,

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 2>he starts jumping me with political topics. And yesterday I

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>just kind of was in the mood. So if you

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>want to hear my thoughts on the last month in

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the American presidential race, vice presidential candidates and such, that

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Cowards podcast probably comes out later today. But rather than

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 2>promote podcasts other than my own, might as well if

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing that, tell you like, rate, subscribe, review. Our

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 2>YouTube numbers have kind of stalled a bit, probably because

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>we haven't been telling you guys to subscribe to the

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channel, but also because it's not football season. Demons

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>has just got the one sad plaque leaning up against

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the wall in his apartment because he hasn't yet hung

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>it up. So try to get some more before we

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>get to the show. Let's get to what Miss Serbia

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>USA is not gonna make the show because it hasn't

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>happened yet. France, Germany is happening about an hour from

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 2>now when we're taping and live on YouTube Serbia USA.

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the third Team USA basketball game demanse that

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>tips off right when first things first starts, and I

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 2>don't get the daily ratings, and I don't really look

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 2>at the daily ratings unless it's football season. But I've

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>got to imagine it hasn't been good for the show

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>that I bet I could look at just a ratings

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>graph and just without dates and be like, oh, team

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>USA was playing, Team USA was playing, so not great

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>for US. Rudy Gobert maybe had finger surgery. He didn't,

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>but I maybe, I don't know. And Arizona, the Arizona

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals introduce a truly grotesque creation, which is a burrito

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of candy wrapped in cotton candy. It looks truly abhorrent.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jamanse, Let's get to the actual NFL news

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>if we could.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one of the huge stories of this NFL offseason

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 3>is if Brandon Ayuk is gonna leave the forty nine Ers.

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Your guy Andrew Philipponi is reporting that there's been a

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 3>verbal agreement between Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 4>So it's all but final. But this would this be

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 4>a bigger ad.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>For Pittsburgh or a bigger loss for party in San Francisco.

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's an interesting way to put it. I mean,

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>it would be a massive ad for Pittsburgh. If the

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Steelers get competent quarterback play, they're a legitimate team. They

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>assuming they add Ayuk, we know the defense is good.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>They might have the best defensive player in the league

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>in TJ. Watt. Last year, they found their way into

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs again thanks to a few really good quarterback

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>games by Mason Rudolph. We know they're gonna be well coached.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 2>You have some offensive line questions for him, and I

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>think they're running back duo is a little overrated. But

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>if George Pickens all of a sudden gets dropped down

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>to your number two receiver and Ayuk's your number one,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>then the question just is, can Fields or Russ just

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>give you the eighteenth best quarterbacking season in football? And

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>that should be enough to contend for a playoff spot

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and not contend for a Super Bowl. But it would

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>be a great ad for Pittsburgh to the San Francisco

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>side of things, because I do believe this is a

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>fate accompany that Brandon Ayuk is going to up with

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the Pittsburgh Steelers, that right now they're haggling over some

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>financial details with Ayuk while they've they've hammered out the

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 2>trade details with Sam Francisco. That's what Andrew Philipponi is reporting.

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I've known Andrew for gosh darn man, almost twenty years,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 2>and no one is more connected to the Steelers than

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>he is, So I trust his information. Even though the

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 2>National insiders are saying, you know, Andrew's saying it's the

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>one yard line. The National folks are saying it's closer

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>to the ten yard line. I trust Andrew. If you're

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 2>the Niners, this is a debacle. And that is not

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>because they can't compete without Ayuk. That's not what I'm saying.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a debacle of process. If you were going to

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>trade Brandon Ayuk, you've got to do it before the draft,

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 2>when Pittsburgh was offering you a first round pick that

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>you could have used in this year's draft, left for

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a player that can help you this season. The Steelers,

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>by the way, in this year's draft, had the twentieth pick,

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>took Troy fott new from the tackle from Washington, a

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 2>player the Niners. I don't know if they would have

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>picked him, but an offensive lineman could have really helped him.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>When you don't trade Ayuk before the draft, then you've

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>got to just be willing to hold your water and

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 2>be like, no, we're not trading him. We're going to

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and if we lose him next year for nothing, or

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>if we franchise Tag him and work.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Out a trade player.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>So so that.

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Answer to the locker room.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>So that is exactly the point Demon's. So that's the

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>smart point because we talked about this on the show yesterday,

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>which is what leverage does Ayuk have? And the answer

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>is exactly that. And I think folks underrate that how

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>big of an impact that can have because they don't

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>look at football teams like workplaces. But anyone that's ever

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>worked in an office and had someone there that was

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>important that they couldn't just get rid of, that wasn't

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>afraid they were going to be fired, who every day

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>walked in with a bad attitude, who talked to people

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>behind people's backs, who just sucked the energy out of

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.679
<v Speaker 2>any room they go into. Anyone that's experienced that knows

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>that has real impact on other people's ability to do

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>their work, on other people's enjoyment of going to work.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you're in a team environment, whether it's a

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>literal team like a football team or a regular workplace

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>where you work as a team, that can totally derail you.

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's clearly what the Niners are afraid of. The

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>point I'm making Demons is they needed to determine before

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the draft, if we don't trade Ayuk and if we

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>don't give him thirty million a year or whatever the

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>number is, is that the route he's going to take.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And if so, then we've got a trade. And we

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>don't think we can deal with that, then we've got

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to trade him. And the other reason de Monday that

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I think this is so mishandled is this isn't a shock.

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 2>This didn't catch any He has been flirting with Washington

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 2>and Pittsburgh for months, openly talking about it on podcasts,

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 2>putting out ig videos saying, oh they're done with me?

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Should doing a TikTok where he's breaking down the commanders

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>all twenty two Like, this wasn't a Oh my god,

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 2>who could have seen this coming? Everyone saw it coming.

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>So if you saw it coming, had an opportunity to

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>trade him before the draft and decided not to to

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, you know, lose your metal a

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 2>month before the start of the season is concerning, and

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's damaging, significantly damaging for the Niners.

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Let's go on and okay, are we on to the

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 4>next topic? He no, no, no, we can do with

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 4>the other stuff on this Christian McCaffrey.

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Being hurt in them trading Ayuk away. What do you

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>think San Francisco's future is for this year?

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, McCaffery, they're not cooked, but last year they got

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>outstanding health by all the Avengers. Right now they're in

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>this situation. Trent Williams is holding out. He's the best

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>player on the team. I think that'll get resolved, but

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:01.599
<v Speaker 2>it's not ideal. Christian McCaffrey, wh who the two healthiest

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>portions of his career have been this time with San Francisco,

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is dealing with a calf strain before the season starts.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>That's not ideal. Ricky Persall Pearsall, their first round pick

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 2>has been hurt three separate times in camp, and even

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>if none of those are significant injuries, that is a

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>double red flag. The first one is, ah man, did

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>we draft a player that's gonna have major medical concerns?

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 2>And the other one is rookies need training camp more

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 2>than anybody. And Ayuk, who was Perty's only consistent deep

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:41.079
<v Speaker 2>downfield target last year. The reason Perty wasn't a dink

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and dunker was because of Brandon Ayuk. He was fourteen

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>yards per attempt to Ayuk six and a half yards

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>per attempt to everyone else on the team. All those

0:10:53.760 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 2>things you put them together to bat offseason. Uh, and

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>so that good. Go ahead.

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it also seems like Iyuk was angling to play

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 3>with Jaden Daniels in Washington's GM came from San Francisco

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 3>with Washington not being interested in you, is there something

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 3>to read into there?

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 2>So what I readed into that is that Washington understands

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:28.719
<v Speaker 2>that as of this moment, they don't have an NFL

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't say NFL caliber, but good enough even close

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 2>to good enough offensive line, and they need their draft

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>capital to spend on that in future years. They're not

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not like Washington this year thinks we're competing for

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a championship. They have Terry McLaurin, they have Donson, they

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 2>have wide receiver is not their glaring need offensive line

0:11:55.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>is And for them to you know, trade away elite

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>draft resources for what would be a luxury, which is

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 2>another wide receiver is one of the deeper spots on

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the commander's team. That's so I underste right, and I

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 2>don't and I think they know that they are going

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 2>to have to spend a massive amount of draft capital

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>over the next few years building up that offensive line.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 2>They signed Tyler Biadis from Dallas this year. They signed

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>my pal Nick Alighretti from the Chiefs this year. Their

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>starting left tackle right now is a rookie third round pick. They,

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they they need the offensive line help. And

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.079
<v Speaker 2>when you've spent a first round pick on Dotson two

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>years ago and Terry mclaurin's a really good player, it

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>just seems almost like a luxury they can't quite afford.

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 2>That's how By the way, Starver in the mic, that's

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 2>how I read it. I listen. I'm not covering the

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Commanders on a daily basis, but if I were running

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the Commanders, I would say, this is a luxury. We

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>are not, you know, we almost don't deserve yet we

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>need to do. We need to build up the rest

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>of our football team first. All right, let's move on.

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Fair enough.

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So hard knocks with the Bears and Caleb Williams

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 3>is officially kicked off. Nick Saban came out and said

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 3>that high expectations could stunt Caleb's growth. You actually came

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 3>out and said that Caleb could be in the Super

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Bowl this year. So do you think that you're contributing

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 3>to Caleb Williams potential downfall. U.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing. I I think that if it

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 2>were a trendy consensus pick, I think that might be

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 2>a you know, not great for him. I right now,

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>they're over under is set at eight and a half.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 2>They have the fifteenth best Super Bowl odds in a

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty two team league. There isn't too much hype. And

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>what Caleb, what people? I understand what Saban is saying

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:09.439
<v Speaker 2>in that expectations. Can you know that if you'd the expectations,

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>if they're too high and you don't live up to them,

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the damage it can do to you as a young player.

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 2>What where I think Saban's mistaken is Mistaken's the wrong word.

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 2>The context I would add to Saban's point is the

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>expectations for Bears fans is the standard is so low.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>They've never had a four thousand yard passer. They've never

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 2>had a thirty touchdown thrower. The all time franchise leader

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>in passer rating for the Chicago Bears is Mitch Trubisky.

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 2>The single best quarterback season they ever had was Eric

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:57.479
<v Speaker 2>Kramer thirty years ago. Jim Harbaugh was their starting quarterback

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>for four years in the nineties and never threw sixteen

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>touchdown passes. Okay, so Caleb just going out there and

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 2>being slightly above average is going to put Bears fans

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>and Bear's local media over the moon. So no, I

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>understand Saban's point, but I don't think the expectations are

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>too high. Let's go to the other follow ups.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So both Caleb and Josh Allen are set to

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>play against each other this weekend. What are you gonna

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 3>be looking out for for both of them?

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm very curious for Caleb, he's gonna have opportunities

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to run and make plays with his legs. I would

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>prefer he doesn't do much of that in the preseason.

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 2>And for Josh, I'm curious who his theoretical number one

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>target is gonna be. There have been pretty good reports

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:57.359
<v Speaker 2>out of Bill's training camp about Khalil Shakir. I'm interested

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>in what that looks like. Everybody loves Keon Coleman, and

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>then there's Curtis Samuel. It's kind of a hodgepodge. Keon

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Coleman a first round or second round pick, but Rookie

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and the other reports are that my guy two time

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl champion, NBS might get cut. Sneaky reports out

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>of New England and Buffalo are that Juju and MBS,

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs two top receiving targets the last two years,

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>might not make either of those rosters. And it's not

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>like New England and Buffalo have stacked receiver rooms. So

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>that's that's what I'll be watching for those guys in

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>that game, all right.

0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Next, as your prediction more about Caleb in Chicago or

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 3>your lack of faith in the NFC.

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a both. It's both. I think that you look

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>at the the NFC. We're gonna get to the Eagles

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 2>issues in a moment, but they're well documented and they

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>collapsed last year. The cow had a miserable, miserable offseason.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm the only person that cares about this, but I

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.399
<v Speaker 2>do care about it. The Lions lost their kicker for

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the year, and I think that matters, and that's like

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a sneaky important injury. There's no one in the NFC

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>South I think as a contender. The Niners are going backwards,

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>not forwards. So that leaves the Rams who had Aaron

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Donald retire, and then the Packers, and I just think

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the Packers because they were so great in that playoff game,

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>people are slightly overstating how good they were over the

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 2>course of the whole season. So all of that, plus

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 2>the fact that I think Caleb's going to be an

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 2>instant star, is why I'm putting you know, I'm putting

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>some stock in that. All right, let's go on to

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Hurts and Sirianni.

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So a new report said that Hurts and Sirianni's

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 3>relationship was fractured last year. So instead of this story

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 3>dying a little while back when it first came out,

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 3>it's getting more life. So it sounds like there's something

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 3>really there. Who do you think has more pressure to.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.479
<v Speaker 4>You know, to make amends Sirianni.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Hurts, Well, listen, I think Sirianni is more pressure to

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 2>make amends. But I think Jalen Hurt sneakily is under

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 2>massive pressure this year. And we talked about this on

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the show yesterday. So follow me on this, Demanse. Here's

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>here's the point that I would be making that I'm

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to make, and I understand it's a little counterintuitive.

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 2>If Nick Sirianni gets fired by the Eagles, his next

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>job is head coach of an NFL team. His winning

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 2>percentage plus three years, three playoff appearances, plus a Super

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Bowl appearance means if he gets fired, he gets another

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>head bite at the head coaching apple almost guaranteed. I

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>know that folks are gonna say that I'm getting ahead

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.679
<v Speaker 2>of myself here. But if the Eagles sits sour on

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Hurts, Typically, when a team that drafts you and

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 2>invests in you decides oh, you're not the guy, your

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 2>next job is then a quarterback competition. That's what it

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>was for Darnold. That's what it was for Baker. It

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that for Golf, and Golf ended up, by the

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 2>way being the best example of this. It's what it

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 2>was for Carson Wentz. It didn't work well, and I

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.840
<v Speaker 2>know people are like, my god, they had a pretty

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 2>quick trigger on Jalen Hurts. The point I'm trying to

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>make is this, it Hurts is mediocre this year, then

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you're going to look at his eight year sample of

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 2>big time football and say, in college he didn't look

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.479
<v Speaker 2>like a franchise quarterback. Early in his career, didn't look

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 2>like a franchise quarterback. The last couple of years he

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't look like a franchise quarterback. It was the one

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>season when he damn near won League MVP, when he

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>played a brilliant Super Bowl, and no one can take

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 2>that away from him. But the more we get away

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:09.880
<v Speaker 2>from that in time until he has another year similar

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to that, I think there's going to be growing concern.

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>So I think both of these guys are under massive

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 2>pressure for slightly different reasons. Looks like you have a question, Demonsey,

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.120
<v Speaker 2>So you're.

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, I understand what you're saying. And I

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 3>think I'm not sure how long Sirianni. How long has

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Sirianni been a head coach?

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 2>So this three years and three playoff appearances.

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.439
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, and has a longer sample size, and Sirianni has

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 3>a shorter one, and it's better, so.

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Well and and listen, and I'm no Sirianni guy. And

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Hurts doesn't have much longer sample size because when I

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 2>say eight years, I'm talking including colleges and having to

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 2>transfer from Alabama. But it's just I think that this

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 2>is the other place where draft bias works. Again. The

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 2>whole league had an opportunity to take Jalen in Round one.

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Nobody did which means there are certain teams or a

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of teams theoretically that looked at him as a

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 2>certain level prospect. Teams stick with those biases. Sometimes it's

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the same. The flip side of that happens a lot.

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>When a guy who was a top ten pick is

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 2>never good, teams keep taking chances on him because they're like, man,

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 2>we had him graded as the seventh best player in

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the draft when we get him, even if he's been

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 2>in the league four years and being cut by two teams,

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and so it's not like Jalen was a sixth round pick.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:46.120
<v Speaker 2>But I just think his footing is less certain than

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 2>most people tend to believe. And this article did not

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 2>do him or Sirianni any favors. All right, let's move

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>on to hoops real quick.

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 3>All right, So I'm gonna talk a little bit about

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Lori marketing, but it's actually about Steph Curry, So just

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 3>walk with me here. After failing to complete a deal

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 3>with the Warriors, the Jazz extended marketing, Golden State wasn't

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 3>willing to include pods into any trades, So how should

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Steph feel about them prioritizing the future instead of the

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 3>end of his career.

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, so I thought, I think this is the

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>exact right angle. So I think that the Lurie Markinen

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 2>signing is actually a Warrior Steph Curry story because Mark,

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not just that he signed the extension with Utah,

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.920
<v Speaker 2>it's when he signed it. So he did what Lebron

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 2>did a couple of years ago, which is signed the

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 2>extension at a late enough date into the offseason where

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>he's untradable this year. When you sign an extension in

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the NBA, you cannot be traded for six months. So

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>if you sign an extension or a free agent deal

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of free agency, you can be traded

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 2>in like January, right because of when he signed it,

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>those six months expire the day after the trade deadline,

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>so he's untradeable this entire season. That's why it's noteworthy

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>because the Warriors were in on marketing. A lot of

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 2>people thought they were gonna get marketing. They didn't, and

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 2>then people thought, Okay, well maybe they'll get him during

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the year. Now it's impossible, no one can trade for

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Lauri market in this season, which means the Warriors, much

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 2>like the Lakers, didn't get better. The Lakers did nothing.

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors, you know, lost Clay and added some you

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:57.199
<v Speaker 2>know pieces to replace him, but nothing significant. And so

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I said briefly yesterday on the show Lurie Mark and

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and signing his extension when he did, made it one

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>percent more likely that Stephan Lebron one day play together.

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 2>One percent because I just think that the war Steph

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 2>is going to have another frustrating year. And I think

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 2>these guys playing on Team USA man are like, especially

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the older guys Steph, Lebron and KD are looking around saying,

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 2>we're still good enough, guys, and our teams aren't. The

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are seemed just totally fine, standing pat because nobody

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 2>wants to make a big decision, because nobody wants accountability

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 2>for the decision. The Warriors sneakily are not trying to

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 2>spend a bunch of money, and now they have been.

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 2>They've spent more money than any team in the league

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 2>over the last decade, but now they're quietly trying to

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>pair that down. The Suns, on the other end, are

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to do a lot, but they don't know what

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. So those three guys are kind of stuck,

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and I find it pretty fascinating.

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 3>If that was one with if that was plus one percent,

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 3>what is the percentage of Lebron and Curry playing together now.

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 2>One day in their careers? If I added one percent

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 2>to it, I'm gonna say it's now at sixteen percent. Okay,

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 2>one and six shot. It was at fifteen, Now it's

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 2>at sixteen a one in six shot. So roll a

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>die and see if you can call the number. That's

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the odd that's the odds one and six. That's what

0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 4>What else? Uh does Golden State looking down the road?

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that has anything to do with Steph

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 3>kind of lacking in this Olympic run?

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't buy that at all. And no, I

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's it. I think that I think it's

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 2>a money thing. I honestly think it's a money thing.

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe again, I'm not a reporter on

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the ground there. But when the owner comes out and says,

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 2>our number of months ago, our number one goal is

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to get under the tax kind of tells you it's

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 2>a money thing right now for them. And then what's

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the last one?

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 3>If Vegas offered a bet like a step to end

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 3>his career as a warrior, yes or no? What would

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 3>the odds look like right now.

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Minus three hundred yes, plus two eighty No. But that's

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's one and four about that. He doesn't

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that's the it's it's not nothing, guys, That's all I'm saying.

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not nothing. Quick break right back? What's right?

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:50.359
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in what's right? With nick right demands? Let's

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 2>get to uh some dues and dons of camp fights

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 2>before we get to our game today.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Yes, with joint practices underway across the league, fights are

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 3>breaking out everywhere. It's not just from team to team,

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 3>it's even teammates. DK Metcalf tried to pull a Miles

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Garrett on his teammates straight. I think he snatched one

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 3>of his teammates helmet off and try to hit another

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 3>teammate with it.

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 4>You're on the records.

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 3>You're on the record saying that you don't mind camp fights,

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 3>but you don't want receivers punching helmets.

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 4>So break it down. Were are some dudes and some don'ts.

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, listen, the quarterback can never be involved. Daniel Jones,

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.320
<v Speaker 2>your guy demons tried to get involved in a camp fight.

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>That's ridiculous. You can't use any weapons, and don't punch helmets.

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 2>You can see, you can slap, you can.

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Do Daniel Jones my guy anymore. He's not what do

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 3>you mean he's my guy?

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're abandoning him. But yeah, okay, fair enough. You

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.919
<v Speaker 2>can do a Deacon Jones head slap to a helmet,

0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:57.479
<v Speaker 2>you can do a mush face. There are things you

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>but you can't punch helmets, you can't use helm's his weapons,

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 2>and you can't have your quarterback involved. It's actually, we

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>don't need to spend much time on it. Those are

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the obvious rules. And don't if you're a fringe roster guy,

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 2>don't start a fight with a star on the team.

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Just don't. It's just bad business. Okay, like the It's

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>just I understand wanting to show fight. There's different things.

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>You can maybe bait the star into starting a fight

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.639
<v Speaker 2>with you, but you can't be the one to start

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the fight with the star. Everybody knows this. All right,

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 2>let's play a game.

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 3>We're playing right in today. First off, we got chiefs

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 3>and Andy Reid. Andy Reid said that he's gonna he's

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 3>gonna play the starters for the first quarter versus the

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Jaguars this weekend a Kansas City playing the Ones against Jacksonville.

0:28:53.360 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Is I mean, here's the thing I don't understand, and

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 2>why more NFL teams don't say, Hey, what does Andy

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Reid do in the preseason in training camp? Yeah, let's

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and do that. The team that, aside from

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>last year, starts every year undefeated in September and is

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 2>more ready than everybody. And even before Mahomes got there,

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 2>you know what, came into the season in great shape

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 2>doing things. Why don't we do what he does. It's

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 2>baffling to me. More people, I just don't get it.

0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>And I understand. It's like, well, Sean McVeigh sat everyone

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 2>in preseason years ago when they started eight. No, I

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 2>get that, and I'm not saying it's one size fits all.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 2>What I am saying is the Chiefs run one of

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the toughest training camps in football. They have the best

0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 2>player in the league, he plays in the preseason and

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>it's seems to work. So I just don't understand why

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>more teams don't copy it. That's all. So Andy Reid

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>playing his starters in the preseason is the right move

0:30:11.760 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 2>because Andy's the best coach in the league. I just

0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 2>just just like when for fifteen years Bill Belichick when

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>he was at the top of his game. You know

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 2>what he did in the draft traded down consistently. Oh

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 2>you desperately want the forty seventh pick, well give us

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 2>fifty six and one oh four and we'll do it.

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh you desperately want the twenty eighth pick, well give

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 2>us thirty five and fifty eight and we'll do it.

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>And it and it worked. I just just figure out

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.280
<v Speaker 2>who the best in the field are and copy what

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. Is a pretty tried and true way to succeed.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead.

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 3>So before practice, the Chiefs were asked who the goat

0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 3>basketball player was, and Lebron won that debate, but Montre

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Washington said Carmelo Anthony was the vat.

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Do you think was going on there?

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Carmelo Anthony Edwards got one vote, Larry Bird got one vote.

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>But the story of this was Kobe got six, Mike

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>got seven, and Lebron got seventeen, which to which I'll say,

0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you're welcome, America. I mean the if you want to

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 2>see the impact my consistent dedication to truth and accuracy

0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 2>in the most important debate in sports MJ Lebron the

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 2>impact it has well, A team full of kids who

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>never saw Mike play barely, you know, most of them

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't see much of Kobe either, who happened to be

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>on a team that you know my TV show is

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 2>on quite often in the facility. Lebron won overwhelmingly. So

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 2>if you have any question about where that alleged debate

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>is headed, I think that was a pretty good indicator.

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Now, what do you think the numbers would have been

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 3>five years ago? Would have been out around the same

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 3>or a lot different?

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, no no different? Right, MJ?

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.720
<v Speaker 2>By a what by a huge margin? Look at the

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 2>numbers after the last dance came out? But MJ fired

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>his last propaganda bullet and and it wasn't enough. All right.

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Next, after calling Stefan Digs a great player, Josh Allen said,

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I'd say I miss him a

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 3>training camp. Between Alan and Diggs, who will miss who more?

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 2>All right? So I want to be fair, Josh Allen,

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 2>that's a truncated version of the quote. He said nice

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 2>things about Stefan Diggs, So I so, But to be honest,

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Diggs will miss Allen more. And here's why,

0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>because I think Allen was. I think Diggs can be

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and I think it was he was okay

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 2>with him moving on. If you're Stefan Diggs, with every

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>year with Josh Allen, you were one of the most

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 2>targeted receivers in the league. You were clearly, without question,

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the Bills number one receiver. You got all you got.

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a good chance that Stefan Diggs is

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the number three receiver for Houston. Nico Collins is the

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 2>number one, and if Tank Dell is healthy, he might

0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>be the number two. So I think Diggs is gonna

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 2>miss Josh in that man, you knew you were getting

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 2>twelve ten, twelve targets a game. That's probably high eight

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 2>to ten targets a game, and that's not gonna be

0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 2>the case anymore. Next uh.

0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 3>During hard Knocks, the Bears thought it was a good

0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 3>idea to teach their quarterbacks to slide using a slipping slide.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Totally logical. The Bear's quarterback slipping slide was.

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the It was one of the

0:33:55.440 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 2>only times a slipping slide has looked fun other than

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 2>in the commercials there So this is I'm really gonna

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:11.439
<v Speaker 2>pull on the heartstrings of millennials. There are two products that,

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 2>growing up in the commercial looked so elite and in

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>practice were a disaster. One I don't know what whosh is.

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:25.799
<v Speaker 2>What's that?

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 4>This this ball that they showed on a commercial.

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 3>It looked like it levitated or whatever, and you like

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 3>and you got it and it did none of that.

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:37.720
<v Speaker 3>But that you're probably talking about something that actually works

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 3>and wasn't like a.

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 2>T no, no, it was. It's something similar to that.

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 2>So I one was the slipping slide. The slipping slide

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:52.880
<v Speaker 2>seemed amazing. In practice, you get it out in the yard.

0:34:54.160 --> 0:35:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Within minutes, it's just mud everywhere. You try to dive

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 2>on it, you hurt yourself. There's like rocks and roots

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 2>under the ground.

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 4>It does.

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:12.080
<v Speaker 2>It rips awful. But in the commercials it looked amazing.

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to see I don't know if we can

0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 2>show on camera. Go to the producer's room because you're

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 2>too young for the other item, but I bet someone

0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 2>in the room can guess it. The other thing that

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 2>looked amazing in the commercials but was just a ten

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 2>out of ten commercials one out of ten application. It

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>was a board game. It had a lot of bells

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and whistles, a lot of moving parts, and it really mousetrap.

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Good job, Daniel, that's exactly right. Mousetrap. The Mousetrap commercial.

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>It was like, holy shit, this is going to change

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:02.959
<v Speaker 2>every sleepover I have. This is gonna be amazing. And

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 2>then you get it and putting it together is a

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:10.840
<v Speaker 2>pain in the ass and none of that cool stuff happens.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 2>So like those are those are mousetrap slipping slide. I'm

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna add another one. Oh what was again? The producers

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the millennials will help me. Hot wheels. Hot wheels were fine,

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:35.359
<v Speaker 2>but the hot wheels tracks that really made it seem like, oh,

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 2>this thing is gonna be self subs gonna work. Cook,

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:42.880
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna work like this. It's not gonna work like this.

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 2>The hot wheel cars were still cool.

0:36:47.440 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, this is a non sequent This is you know,

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a tangent. But this is a great

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to put in the listener comments other

0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:01.520
<v Speaker 2>items from your childhood that I'll give you another one

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 2>de monse and you might be old enough, just old

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 2>enough to have dealt with this. The wrestling action figures.

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, so oh yeah.

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah the so right. So no, those were a big

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:27.800
<v Speaker 2>part of my childhood as well, and maybe by the

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 2>time you were a kid, they were a little more

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.959
<v Speaker 2>honest in the commercials, and maybe I was just dumb,

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>but in the commercials, it's like, oh, this guy, you

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 2>press this button, he does his finishing move on this

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 2>other guy. But I guess I didn't put together like

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.360
<v Speaker 2>in order for that to work, it's gonna take a

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:50.280
<v Speaker 2>couple minutes of like real you know, finagling of getting

0:37:50.360 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 2>them in the right spot and all of it. Those

0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 2>commercials were elite, but nothing. Slip and Slide and and

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Mousetrap were the two biggest fell for the banana and

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the tailpipe of what you thought it was going to

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 2>be and then what it ultimately was. To answer the

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 2>question the Bear's slipping slide, I thought was actually smart.

0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I think teaching quarterbacks how to slide is smart. And

0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>if they don't know how, we've all seen it when

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 2>a guy tries to slide and his foot gets caught

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 2>in the turf for something and it looks bad. So

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I actually think that was smart. All right, we can

0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>keep going.

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 3>Katie's legacy is one of the strangest in sports. To

0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 3>add to it, he just passed Lisa Leslie to become

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 3>the all time leader in Team USA basketball points.

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:39.440
<v Speaker 4>The first line of Katie's legacy will be.

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 2>One of the most talented players in NBA history and

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:48.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the most gifted scorers who oddly didn't quite

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:53.200
<v Speaker 2>have the team's success you would have expected for a

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 2>player of his caliber. But also is I said this

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 2>to Colin last night, Brews said something similar. If you

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:05.840
<v Speaker 2>think of the twenty greatest players in league history, okay,

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>of all of them, Durant might be the number one

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 2>pick as far as can literally drop him on any

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:28.320
<v Speaker 2>other great team in any other era, and it just

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 2>makes everyone better. Nobody has to take a back seat,

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Nobody has to change their role, nobody all the other

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 2>You drop Magic on a great Lebron team, and Lebron's

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 2>got to adjust. You drop Michael on any of Kobe's teams,

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and all of you know, Kobe's got to adjust. You

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 2>drop Shack on a Keem team, and obviously or vice versa,

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.759
<v Speaker 2>think of any great team in NBA history and just

0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 2>be like, we're dropping Kevin Durant on it. It's like, oh,

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 2>that works perfectly, and all their other stars can still

0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 2>be stars, and he's just going to take over for

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:12.360
<v Speaker 2>their worst starter at basically any spot and be great.

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's why when you dropped him on the Warriors,

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>they became one of, if not the greatest team ever.

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 2>You drop him on Team USA in any environment, and

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.440
<v Speaker 2>he looks like one of, if not the best guy

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:29.720
<v Speaker 2>out there. All right, So let's go to the next one, please.

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:30.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 3>So Justin Fields is starting for the Steelers this weekend

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 3>as Russell Wilson deals with his CAF injury. Will he

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:40.239
<v Speaker 3>take advantage of this opportunity? The Steelers QB one this

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 3>season will be.

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I think Fields will start more games than Russ. Gary

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Dulac from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, I think is where

0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 2>he is tweeted or reported yesterday that Russ is definitively

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 2>the Week one starter. I you know, I'm not there.

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a hell of a report. That seems a little premature,

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 2>but it does seem like Russ is the likely Week

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:08.120
<v Speaker 2>one starter. But I think that Fields will start more

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.400
<v Speaker 2>games this year than Russell Wilson. And I'm told we

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 2>found demons officially abandoning Daniel Jones. Oh that Demonse won't

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 2>get that reference. That's from that. I think it's the

0:41:22.880 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 2>greatest movie ever made. I think that is. That is

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 2>my number with respect to The Godfather one and two.

0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Plainview is played by Daniel day Lewis, is an

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.480
<v Speaker 2>oil man at the turn of the twentieth century, so

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:48.279
<v Speaker 2>late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, and he becomes one

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:52.280
<v Speaker 2>of the richest, most powerful, successful people in the world

0:41:52.920 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 2>while being while being just an absolutely brutal person and

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:07.320
<v Speaker 2>not good father. And in lockstep with it, there is

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that guy Paul Dano who is a immoral preacher who

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 2>is trying to take advantage of the situation as well.

0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not giving I mean that is the very I.

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Feel like I've seen you watched that movie before something.

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for some reason, definitely, I mean I probably watched

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:29.919
<v Speaker 2>it ten times. I think it's the best movie ever made.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh So that's a good photoshop. All right, we'll do

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:41.600
<v Speaker 2>some listener questions next. What's right? Welcome back in? What's driving?

0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Nick right? Demanse, Let's do some listener questions.

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Shane Stutter a best restaurant to visit while in Casey

0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:50.480
<v Speaker 3>from our friend's wedding this September.

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:52.080
<v Speaker 4>His wedding is the day after.

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 3>Kansas City versus balt So, if you're in town or

0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:57.839
<v Speaker 3>Kansas City versus Baltimore, So if you're if you're in town,

0:42:57.840 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to invite you to his wedding.

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Jesus all right, Well, I don't think you can invite

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 2>someone to me someone else's wedding, but I appreciate it.

0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I'm gonna be in town. Sadly listen

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:15.800
<v Speaker 2>for amazing pan fried chicken and amazing giant fried shrimp

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and the best chicken noodle soup you've ever had Strouds.

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.879
<v Speaker 2>The Strouds was a place I used to take make

0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:26.400
<v Speaker 2>them on. I don't know if you liked it or not,

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.960
<v Speaker 2>but I used to. Your mom didn't like it, so

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you and I would go a lot.

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 3>There's also aid chicken is different. There's a different type

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 3>of cadence to their It's.

0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Good because it's not well, that's why it's called it's

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:44.839
<v Speaker 2>pan fried instead of being deep fried. So deep fried

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you dip the whole thing in grease. Pan fried it's

0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:49.920
<v Speaker 2>in a pan with grease and you do it like that.

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.279
<v Speaker 2>So it is very different and I love it. There

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:57.279
<v Speaker 2>was also do you mind, Demanse, if I tell this?

0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if you remember. If I tell

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the story about when you and I were going to

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Strouds and we got pulled over by the cop. Do

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.320
<v Speaker 2>you remember this? You might beat you. You might have

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 2>memoried of this is so Demanse was like twelve, and

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I so if Demonse was twelve. I'm twenty six, twenty seven,

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and we're driving to Strouds late on a Sunday, and

0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:30.080
<v Speaker 2>right before we pull up, we get pulled over. I

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 2>get pulled over for speeding on Shawnee Mission Parkway.

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:34.400
<v Speaker 4>And.

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 2>The cop came over and was nice but inquisitive. Where

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:46.279
<v Speaker 2>are you guys going?

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:47.759
<v Speaker 4>What are you doing?

0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, I'm just taking my son to dinner.

0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:57.040
<v Speaker 2>And again, me twenty six, demands twelve, and I'm not

0:44:57.320 --> 0:45:01.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna like explain the you know, in that moment, I

0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:03.839
<v Speaker 2>said him taking my son dinner, and the cop didn't

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.840
<v Speaker 2>believe me, but also didn't want to be he was

0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:09.920
<v Speaker 2>not being he was actually being nice, but I think

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:16.880
<v Speaker 2>was concerned about this child's welfare. And it's so funny

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't remember it. He then came back to the

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:23.160
<v Speaker 2>car and asked me. He was like, hey, do you

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:25.759
<v Speaker 2>mind stepping out of the car for a moment. And

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like yeah, and I don't think you knew

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 2>anything weird was going on. So I step out of

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I step out of the car. I step out of

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:37.799
<v Speaker 2>the car, and I see him walk over to your

0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 2>window and say two words to you or ten words

0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 2>to you. Then he gives me my ticket and he's like,

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 2>all right, you're good. And when I asked you and

0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what was that And he was like,

0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:50.560
<v Speaker 2>he just asked me what we were doing. I told

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:54.680
<v Speaker 2>him we were going to dinner, like okay. So then

0:45:54.760 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you and I go to dinner at Stroud's and at

0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the end of the meal, uh, I asked for the

0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 2>check and the waiter comes over and says, now you remember.

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:07.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I remember.

0:46:07.840 --> 0:46:13.560
<v Speaker 2>The waiter comes over and says, really weird, this cop

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:20.239
<v Speaker 2>came in and paid for your meal but asked us

0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 2>not to say anything to you. So this, you know,

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 2>this officer was skeptical and I think a little concerned

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 2>about you know, this demands this kid's welfare, And then

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:38.640
<v Speaker 2>saw that we were being honest and like, not just weird,

0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:41.000
<v Speaker 2>being honest, but that everything was fine, and I think

0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:44.840
<v Speaker 2>felt bad about it and paid for our meal. So

0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I I remember that like vividly, that whole thing, and

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't and I still I almost wish like there

0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:54.959
<v Speaker 2>was something. I never saw that cop again obviously or whatever.

0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I have a lot of criticisms of

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.520
<v Speaker 2>policing in America and stuff like that, but that was

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought, every single thing that officer did and without

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a side paying for the meal, which is obviously right,

0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:12.880
<v Speaker 2>exactly right, paying for the meals above and beyond it.

0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 2>But it was I thought he handled all of it right.

0:47:15.280 --> 0:47:18.680
<v Speaker 2>He had a funny feeling, but he also didn't want to,

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:23.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, overreact to it. But he also didn't like

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:26.839
<v Speaker 2>the idea of just leaving it being so he went

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:32.279
<v Speaker 2>above and beyond. Yeah. So so Strouds for that. The

0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:40.520
<v Speaker 2>it's for barbecue Stroud Over, Yeah, for barbecue, for sit

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:44.480
<v Speaker 2>down barbecue, Jack Stack uh for more kind of hole

0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in the wall or authentic barbecue. Every place is great.

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 2>People love Kansas City or Joe's Kansas City. I'm an

0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Arthur Bryant's guy. Obviously, Gates is super famous and for

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 2>like fancy uh the place that my wife and I

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:03.560
<v Speaker 2>got in age Paropos, the lamb chops and the pork

0:48:03.640 --> 0:48:07.960
<v Speaker 2>chops at Propos are elite, elite, elite and for good

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:11.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of sweet Southern Italian Anthony's on grand Those would

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:13.239
<v Speaker 2>be my recommendations, all right.

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.839
<v Speaker 4>Next, uh, Sean just kills Nick.

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:20.360
<v Speaker 3>If you are approached by by celebrity Jeopardy to complete

0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:24.399
<v Speaker 3>against Bamani, Mina and Pablo, do you think you're walking

0:48:24.440 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 3>out on top?

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Wow? So favorite in that? Yeah? So Pablo went

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:40.320
<v Speaker 2>to Harvard, Mina went to Yale. Bamani went to college

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:45.000
<v Speaker 2>at sixteen and got a master's from North Carolina around

0:48:45.040 --> 0:48:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the age of twenty. If I'm being honest, the favorite

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:58.400
<v Speaker 2>in that is Bomani. I think because Bamani has such

0:48:58.480 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a random assortment of knowledge and facts, I obviously would

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 2>mop the floor with my two rivals, meaning Pablo. I mean,

0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that's that's obvious. But I do think Bomani's the favorite.

0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Next, Kine Templar. Do you think lebron kd and Steph

0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:20.719
<v Speaker 3>should running back in four years to secure golden three

0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 3>v three basketball?

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.880
<v Speaker 2>So evidently the rules of three on three basketball are weird,

0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 2>like as far as if you're allowed to play like

0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:31.560
<v Speaker 2>FOEBA has it set up to where you have to

0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:34.560
<v Speaker 2>play in a lot of these three on three qualifiers

0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and get points and those. That's why we can't just

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 2>send our best players like.

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:43.800
<v Speaker 4>You have to be like on the three on three process.

0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and so so I obviously, yes, I think that

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:52.239
<v Speaker 2>we could dominate that if we sent NBA guys, but

0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 2>they don't want us doing that. They want you to

0:49:54.239 --> 0:49:56.439
<v Speaker 2>be like a real three on three team.

0:49:57.400 --> 0:50:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Next Artist Matthews is Jalen Hurts just another Carson Wentz

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:07.240
<v Speaker 3>never really that good, just average, but has one season

0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:10.439
<v Speaker 3>that he looks awesome like Wentz has had his moment

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:13.800
<v Speaker 3>in twenty seventeen in the twenty seventeen season before injury.

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 2>So I that to me, it's way too early to

0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:24.800
<v Speaker 2>say that, but that is the comp of concern that

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.080
<v Speaker 2>now Wins was second big of the draft. Was from

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:29.359
<v Speaker 2>a small school where a guy for a full year

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:33.600
<v Speaker 2>plays at an MVP level but is never able to

0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:36.360
<v Speaker 2>capture anything like that again and didn't look like that before.

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:39.759
<v Speaker 2>That is the concern. So I'm not ready to say that,

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.799
<v Speaker 2>but you can't dismiss it as a possibility.

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:48.759
<v Speaker 3>Next, Doctor turk nerf guns were always doctor Turf okayc

0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:50.760
<v Speaker 3>NERF guns were always overrated.

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:54.359
<v Speaker 4>To be honest, super soakers too. I loved both of those.

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, we were big NERF gun We still have

0:50:58.440 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 2>in our basement and like a big plastic toy chest.

0:51:02.640 --> 0:51:06.279
<v Speaker 2>We still have all of Demons's NERF guns. We were

0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:09.719
<v Speaker 2>a big NERF gun family. The NERF gun thing is

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:14.800
<v Speaker 2>you just can't be cheap on bullet acquisition. You just

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 2>have to be fine with even if this thing only

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:20.640
<v Speaker 2>shoots six, I'm gonna have three hundred of them because

0:51:20.680 --> 0:51:22.920
<v Speaker 2>what can ruin a NERF gun war is like, oh,

0:51:22.920 --> 0:51:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go pick up these bullets and re you

0:51:25.080 --> 0:51:26.640
<v Speaker 2>just gotta have a bunch of Is.

0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:30.000
<v Speaker 3>A video out there on YouTube somewhere of me brandishing

0:51:30.040 --> 0:51:33.680
<v Speaker 3>all my NERF guns collection like I was probably really

0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:34.560
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years old.

0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, oh that's fun. I was in love with them.

0:51:41.400 --> 0:51:46.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, go ahead, Ron Desk. Power wheels waiting twelve

0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 3>hours for thirty minutes of play.

0:51:48.360 --> 0:51:49.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what power wheels are.

0:51:50.640 --> 0:51:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So power wheels that that's what I was writing. When

0:51:55.480 --> 0:51:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like five or six and my sister pushed

0:51:58.239 --> 0:52:00.000
<v Speaker 2>me off the back and I snapped my collar bone.

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.920
<v Speaker 2>So power wheels demands are the little cars that you

0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:06.359
<v Speaker 2>see little kids driving around on the side.

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I guess I've just never done what they were called.

0:52:08.440 --> 0:52:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, yeah, so so yeah, I mean I think

0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:16.320
<v Speaker 2>that I think those were awesome. I think those apparently,

0:52:17.080 --> 0:52:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't. I don't have a recollection of that,

0:52:19.239 --> 0:52:21.160
<v Speaker 2>but that makes sense. You can only you know, charge

0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the battery for so long. So the Danny Tanner says,

0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:30.239
<v Speaker 2>the easy bake oven, I buy that, but I don't.

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have one moonstand I know what that is.

0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Anything slime related, I totally agree. And you were the

0:52:36.960 --> 0:52:40.400
<v Speaker 2>DOORA had a massive slime phase and Deanna is in

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the midst of it right now of like still wanting

0:52:43.480 --> 0:52:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to do slime slim slime. I hate it, all right do.

0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:46.720
<v Speaker 2>LJ from Htown.

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.360
<v Speaker 3>LJ from Ahetown says, Hey, Nick, do you think Mahomes

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:51.240
<v Speaker 3>will break Brady?

0:52:51.800 --> 0:52:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Will break?

0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Brady consecutive AFC Championship Games, eight consecutive from twenty eleven

0:52:56.840 --> 0:52:57.560
<v Speaker 3>to twenty eighteen.

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, that's so it can't be dismissed. I

0:53:03.200 --> 0:53:06.920
<v Speaker 2>would have told you five years ago that that streak

0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:12.000
<v Speaker 2>is more unbreakable than seven Super Bowls is eight years

0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:17.040
<v Speaker 2>straight making the final four is wild. What works against

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes on that is the fact that the NFL changed

0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:24.879
<v Speaker 2>it to where instead of two buys, there's only one.

0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:28.239
<v Speaker 2>So Brady almost every year was the one or the

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 2>two seed. So to make the AFC Title game, you

0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:32.960
<v Speaker 2>just had to win one home playoff game and you're there.

0:53:33.320 --> 0:53:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Since they switched it to only one by it now

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:41.359
<v Speaker 2>most years, even if you're thirteen and four, you might

0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:43.320
<v Speaker 2>end up having to win two playoff games, So that

0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:46.480
<v Speaker 2>makes it harder. But I mean, Mahomes' worst year of

0:53:46.560 --> 0:53:49.239
<v Speaker 2>his career is losing an overtime in the AFC title game,

0:53:49.320 --> 0:53:52.879
<v Speaker 2>so right now it feels like a good bet he'll

0:53:52.960 --> 0:53:56.239
<v Speaker 2>break it. But man, it's just that's so hard. It's

0:53:56.400 --> 0:53:59.680
<v Speaker 2>so hard to just to every single year be a

0:53:59.760 --> 0:54:01.480
<v Speaker 2>game from the super Bowl or closer.

0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:06.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, last one, Malik, Is there any position on

0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:09.400
<v Speaker 3>an NFL roster that you feel like is underrated or

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.880
<v Speaker 3>doesn't get the attention that it deserves.

0:54:12.239 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, punter. I would be a guy that spends draft

0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:22.359
<v Speaker 2>picks on my special teamers. I think that a if

0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:28.120
<v Speaker 2>you truly can have a super elite punter, it is

0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 2>a real weapon, and I think they're underpaid and undervalued.

0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Everyone knows kicker is super you know, is super important

0:54:38.239 --> 0:54:41.920
<v Speaker 2>people because people think about it. But the ability to

0:54:42.080 --> 0:54:45.759
<v Speaker 2>consistently pin a team back and affect how they call

0:54:45.880 --> 0:54:50.360
<v Speaker 2>offense is I think an underrated thing in the NFL.

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:53.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, this was a fun show. We got shows

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.279
