00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Welcome in What Drive with Me Right? Episode two fifty two.

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: First of August. Football is in the air. The Olympics

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: are in full swing. This is an old Bill Simmons idea,

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: but it is the correct idea. If we could somehow

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: get at the Winter Olympics, Summer Olympics, and the World

14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Cup on three year rotations instead of four year rotations

15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: and stagger them that way every year we either had

16
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: an Olympics or a World Cup. Every year we had

17
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: a massive multi week international event where we watch sports

18
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: that were not always locked into or in the World Cup.

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Watch the biggest sporting event in the world. It would

20
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: just greatly enhance life is a sports fan. It's a

21
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: minor tweak, and again it's Bill Simmons's idea from gosh,

22
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, maybe twenty years ago. But every time

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: the Summer Olympics come around, I'm reminded how much I

24
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: love them and how into sports that I otherwise don't

25
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: really care about, how invested I am, how nervous I

26
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: get for these competitors, and so I love it. It's,

27
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: you know, odd that we're going to start here in

28
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: a moment talking team USA, and I am invested in

29
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: this team USA. But I can watch basketball all year.

30
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: I can only watch shooting and four man rowing and

31
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: synchronize diving once every four years. And I got to

32
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: tell you, by about fifteen minutes of synchronized diving watching,

33
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm ready to be a judge. I'm out there shouting

34
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: out scores left and right. Demonsey, you're laughing. And also,

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: by the way, you I don't know if this is

36
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: a plus or a minus, but you're you know you're

37
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: missing out. Your sisters are not, which is every night

38
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock group text, living room, Primetime Olympics, and

39
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: Diora is sitting there annoyed and she's like, you're giving

40
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: commentary on it. Deanna is seemingly into it, and then

41
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: fades and I am locked in and yours. Two nights

42
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: ago for the women's gymnastics, she was like, I already

43
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: know who won because it's all tape delayed at night.

44
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: She was like, you know, I get the spoilers on TikTok.

45
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I know who won too. That doesn't

46
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: change the fact we are locked in as a family

47
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: watching these and your mom has been she has been

48
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: hit and miss with it. I think she'll be there

49
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: tonight because tonight women's gymnastics individual all around and Simone

50
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: Biles is a part of it. And so your mom has,

51
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: you know, a very defined rooting interest, much like Issa

52
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Ray at the Emmys a few years ago rooting for

53
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: everyone black. And so there's a real investment in some

54
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: owne biles success. Uh. And so I I just love it.

55
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: I love it and I and here's the other thing,

56
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: this is not even the part that I love the most.

57
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Track and field is amazing. And when we get past

58
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: the week of swimming, swimming's cool. But you guys, know,

59
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: I have my gripes with swimming, which, by the way,

60
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: did you see Delanza that my courageous swimming take from

61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: years ago that I, you know, revisited a week and

62
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: a half ago. You know, once again Nick Wright's idea

63
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: stolen by a Twitter Charlatan. Did you see my exact

64
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: take go viral?

65
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. I can't remember what account it

66
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: was from, but I did see something about like the

67
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: short swimming pool hoax or whatever.

68
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: Oh you saw. Oh I didn't see that. Oh that's

69
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. So I am two things stolen.

70
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: So well, somebody super viral tweet was like, hey, the

71
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: metal counts and in the Olympics is nonsense because swimmers

72
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: get to do the same length but different uh you know,

73
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: different strokes, And they used my exact example. They were like,

74
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: how many golds do you think Yousain Bolt would have

75
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: if you had the one hundred meter dash, the one

76
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: hundred meters side straddle, one hundred meter run backwards. I'm like,

77
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: that's my take, guys, that's my take. That is flat plagiarism.

78
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: Now the short swimming pool thing, here's the thing. I

79
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: don't mind that going viral elsewhere because someone else can

80
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: take the heat on that one, like I'm not the

81
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: I don't need I don't need I don't need China,

82
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: you know, and mad at me for exposing the potential

83
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: fraud of the swimming cube. All right, demon's speaking of swimming,

84
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: Let's get to the show. Here's what missed the cut.

85
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: The greatest distant swimming swimmer of all time, Katie Ledeci,

86
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: went to record her tying eighth gold. Dylan Reyola, who

87
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: worked with Patrick Mahomes and his trainer this offseason, who

88
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes calls his little cousin, is cosplaying Patrick Mahomes.

89
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you, I think it's a

90
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: brilliant idea. I think that this absolutely will help his

91
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 2: draft stock. And I think the shades, the hair, the look,

92
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: all of it. Five out of five, Well done, sir,

93
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: And Team USA defeats Nadole and Alcarez. I gotta tell you,

94
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: I was not rooting for Team USA in that spot.

95
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: I was rooting for Nadal and Alcarez. I wanted to

96
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: see them continuing to, you know, go through this tournament.

97
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: But all right, speaking of the speaking of the Olympics,

98
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: demand let's go to US versus South Sudan.

99
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Team USA cruise through South Sudane yesterday. Lebron

100
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: and Katie both performed well. But for this being the

101
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: best team, there's sure seems to be a lot of problems.

102
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: And like Tatum finally got to play but scored four points,

103
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: My guy Steph looked pretty gas, Anthony Davis has banged up,

104
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: and Embiid was binched. I think again, so for this

105
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: being like the greatest Team USA team, why is this

106
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: is a lot of problems? What's going on there?

107
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: So I don't really think I think problems is overstating it.

108
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: They've played two games that weren't exhibitions. They blew out

109
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: their opponents both times. Now they didn't cover in South

110
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: Study and I think they were like almost thirty point favorites.

111
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: But I also so in nineteen ninety two, the original

112
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Dream Team, there were I know there was a tweet

113
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: out there going viral that said everyone aside from the

114
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: US team had nine the whole world essentially in those

115
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Olympics outside of Team USA had nine players that played

116
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: in the NBA. But that was misleading because five of

117
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: those nine as of those Olympics had yet to play

118
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: in the NBA, so you can't really compare because you

119
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: don't know who in these Olympics that haven't played in

120
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: wood the whole world in ninety two, outside of Team USA,

121
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: had four guys who had played a single minute in

122
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: the NBA, and one or two of the four had

123
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: literally played fewer than two NBA games. So it was

124
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: Tony Koukoach and a couple others. Is it as of

125
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: this moment the takeout Team USA. There are sixty two

126
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: guys in the other eleven teams who have played in

127
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: the NBA. The game is more global, the game is better,

128
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: the talent is higher, all of it. So it absolutely,

129
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: to me is reasonable to believe, given where all of

130
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: these guys are in their careers compared to where everyone

131
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: was in nineteen n two on that Dream Team, that

132
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: this is the best Team USA ever. But also they're

133
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: gonna have their work cut out for them. Also, speaking

134
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: of age in the way athletes have changed, Levitard pointed

135
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: this out yesterday in part I'm gonna point it out fully.

136
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: So Larry Bird in the ninety two Dream Team was

137
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: there because he was Larry Bird, but he was not

138
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: an effective player. Anymore. He literally wore a back brace.

139
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I've told you this, Demanse,

140
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: but this kind of shows you how much the NBA

141
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: world has changed in the last thirty years. Do you know,

142
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: have I ever told you how Larry Bird hurt his

143
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: back like the injury that essentially ended his career. Larry

144
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: Bird hurt his back because he was repaving his own

145
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: driveway and fell down. Think about that. Maybe the greatest

146
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: basketball player in the world at that point in time

147
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: needed a driveway repaved, and he's like, well, I guess

148
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. And he hurt his back repaving

149
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: his driveway, and he was never the same.

150
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: As solid exactly.

151
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: It's like Indiana, gonna drink some beers and repave my driveway.

152
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: But here's why I mention it. Larry Bird in the

153
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: ninety two Olympics was younger than Lebron right now. That's

154
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: not surprising. Steph right now and Kevin Durant right now.

155
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: So the three best guys on the team, and Stephan

156
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: KD look essentially as good as they've ever looked or

157
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: close to it, are older than Larry Bird was for

158
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: the ninety two Dream Team. So all of those things

159
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: are you know, factors or you know, kind of different

160
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: little nuances of this team. I think Kurr has done

161
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: a really good job. I also think the Tatum thing

162
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: is wild. Like, let me ask you this question and

163
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: then we'll talk Tatum, who do you think is having

164
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: a better US men's basketball Olympic experience? Jason Tatum or

165
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown.

166
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: Oh, it's probably Jen.

167
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: It's Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown gets to be like, you

168
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: guys snub me because of Nike. I'm gonna hang out

169
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: with Kars, buy a bunch of Chanelle bags and send

170
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: out tweets. Meanwhile, Tatum has to sit there and get

171
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: a coach's decision D and P and then play seventeen minutes,

172
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: play them poorly, Derek White out, you're cooking, yeah, man,

173
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: and embeed. And so here's the thing. This is. This is,

174
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: by the way, the argument against twelve stars is what

175
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: we're seeing right now. The argument that what you should

176
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: do is have eight guys you love, eight guys that

177
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: are gonna get huge minutes, and then two specialists and

178
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: two good vibes bench mob guys, and they're like that

179
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: is because we're now in a spot where now, I

180
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: guess the argument against that argument is, had you done that,

181
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: Embiid would have definitively been one of the eight guys

182
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: you love and you're relying on. And he has been bad.

183
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: He has been you know what I mean he is.

184
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: He has been flatly bad, and he's gonna evidently start

185
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: the next game.

186
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: Show.

187
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: I am. I really want to believe in Embiid in

188
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: the Sixers, and part of that is my own personal

189
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: bias because because my buddy runs the team and he

190
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: I think Darryl is a brilliant general manager, and I

191
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: have massive respect for the fact that during the KDIE

192
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: Warriors era, the whole Western Conference kind of was like, Eh,

193
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna punt on competing right now and try to

194
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: set ourselves up for the post KD Warriors era, and

195
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: Daryl was like, no, we're going for it, and they

196
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: had him on the ropes. So I respect that, and

197
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: I think he deserves to eventually win a championship. And

198
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: they got Paul George, but man, Embiid has been a

199
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: tough one. And then there's Tatum, which is I don't

200
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: even like his quote. I'm gonna read you a Tatum quote.

201
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: Let me pull it up real quick. He had a

202
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: quote about, you know what the Olympics have, what he's

203
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: going through, and what the last couple months have been.

204
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: And it's a telling quote and an interesting quote where

205
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: he says, quote, it's a unique situation, and it's not

206
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: about one individual player a competitor, and you wants to play, obviously,

207
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: but I'm not here to make a story about myself.

208
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: You win a championship, new contract, NBA two K, twenty

209
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: five cover Sports Illustrated. So after all of this, it's

210
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: definitely a humbling experience. But what is so unique about

211
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: the Tatum thing is in the last two months he

212
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: has won a championship, got the biggest contract in NBA history,

213
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: and been you know, his on Team USA, which is

214
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: a prohibited favorite to win the goal. And I truly

215
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: believe if two months ago you had one hundred NBA

216
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: fans make their list in order one through ten, the

217
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: top ten NBA players, and if today you had those

218
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: same hundred fans make a top ten of the top

219
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: ten NBA players, that Tatum somehow has moved down the rankings.

220
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: He certainly hasn't moved up in winning a championship and

221
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: being on maybe the most talented Olympic team ever has

222
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: actually kind of hurt his standing in the eyes of folks.

223
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: If we're just talking about who's the best, Like prior

224
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals, Demanse, don't you think most people

225
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: in their rankings would have had Tatum ahead of Kevin Durant?

226
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: I do. It's like, man, Tatum's the best player on

227
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: a sixty four win team, Like, I think most people

228
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: would have had Tatum ahead of KD right now this moment.

229
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: Do you think people would still have Tatum ahead of KD?

230
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: Well the four point like the DMP like was I

231
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: don't want to say it was a coach heir, but

232
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: like he has no control over that. But with the

233
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: four point game and him still not performing after he

234
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: gets in, I could see him dropping. But I think

235
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: it would be a little recency bias. I guess that

236
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: that term you use.

237
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: I no, that's that's fair. That's definitely that is the

238
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: exact right use of the term. But it's also the finals.

239
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: It's also felt like, man, you weren't you weren't at

240
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: your It's a weird thing. So I just don't know

241
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: how this is all landing with Tatum. Here's what I

242
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: do know. If I'm Steve Kerr okay, and I am

243
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: moving forward once we get to the games that really matter,

244
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: my starting five is do I want? Yeah? If I

245
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: If I'm trying to have my best five, my starting

246
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: five is Steph, Drew Lebron, kd Anthony Davis. Those are

247
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: my five. My guys off the bench are booker Ant,

248
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: Derek White and Bam. And my we'll call you if

249
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: we need you guys are Haliburton, Embiid and Tatum. That's

250
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: just what it is for me right now. If you're

251
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: in a spot once you get to the metal round

252
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: where it's winner go home, those are the guys that

253
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: to me. And Derek White's been excellent. Man, he has

254
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: been excellent and it knows his exact role and is

255
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: doing exactly what you want. Drew Holliday can get out

256
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: there and play lockdown defense and not need any shots.

257
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: Step obviously had a really bad game yesterday, but it's

258
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: to me that's nothing to worry about. And Lebron and

259
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: KD have been absolutely brilliant. All right, let's just ask

260
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: this first follow up demonsay and then move on.

261
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think that Lebron. Uh, while you work on

262
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: that or hold that off?

263
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: Sorry?

264
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: Do you think that Lebron is letting his great his

265
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: beard grow out with all the grays to show how

266
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 3: old he is and how dominating he could still be

267
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: in the game.

268
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: So I, I actually do. So this was my take

269
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: if you remember. You don't remember, but the audience might.

270
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: I don't say that bad, but you and I weren't

271
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 2: doing this. You and I weren't doing this. Go ahead

272
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: about what am I gonna say?

273
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you're gonna say something about You're not gonna

274
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: say anything about his beard. It's it's not about it's

275
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: not about how Yeah, he's just showing and like, oh

276
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: look at all these young guys. I got this this

277
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: big gray beard, and I'm still dominating the game. I

278
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: remember exactly what you said, but I remember, I remember

279
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: the take, But go ahead.

280
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: So that was so the the first game in the

281
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: Bubble after the whole pandemic layoff, Lebron shows up in

282
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: the Bubble with the greyest beard you've ever seen from him,

283
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: and I felt that was intentional, uh, because I also

284
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: think we know from how he played in the Bubble,

285
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: Lebron probably physically felt better than he had felt in years,

286
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: because he had this month's long layoff, and I thought

287
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: it was a psychological thing of I'm a mess with

288
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: these guys, and I'm gonna intentionally remind them I'm the

289
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: oldest guy out there. By the way. It is crazy.

290
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: He was the old man four years ago in the

291
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: bubble in August of twenty twenty, and he's still the

292
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: old man doing it now. But yeah, so I do

293
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: think that's a thing. I absolutely do. Do you think

294
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: that's a thing.

295
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: So do you see James Harden going a graveyard in

296
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 3: about five years? Well, he will be in the five years.

297
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

298
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: I you're given You're not giving James years.

299
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: No, I'm not giving James old James Harden. James Hard

300
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: turn thirty three, James Harden turns he turns thirty five

301
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: this month. No, I'm not giving him five more years,

302
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: James Harden. I think that this contract James Harden just

303
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: signed could be his last contract, this two year, seventy

304
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: million or whatever. I just don't think he's a guy

305
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: that's gonna, you know, into his late late thirties. All right,

306
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: let's go on to Aaron Rodgers speaking of you know,

307
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: guys in their forties. Yeah.

308
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: So since we last talked about Rogers, he's gotten in

309
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: the spats with his ride receiver one his offensive line,

310
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: and now now word at Jets camp is that he

311
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: won't participate in preseason at all. So that means that

312
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: by the time Week one comes around, it'll have been

313
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 3: over six hundred days since Rogers completed a pass in

314
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: the NFL. So how many units are replacing on San

315
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: Francisco minus five and a half in Week seventeen or

316
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Week one? Sorry?

317
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: Week one? Well, listen, I don't know that I'm gonna

318
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: place a big bet on that because and I'm sure

319
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it later, but I don't know. If

320
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: you see rock party this camp. Uh, he's had a

321
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: bit of struggles that that that game does feel like

322
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 2: the under for me. Uh in the Niners offense against

323
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: the Jets offense. Uh. And geez, Louise man, someone's gonna

324
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: make a compilation of this thing and making it look

325
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: like I have a coke problem. I am trying desperately

326
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: not to sneeze, and I just keep like scratching my nose,

327
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: But I look like like Trump's kid on a late

328
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: night interview, just just going crazy and so uh, I

329
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: just I look like it. Uh as I was saying

330
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: the well, no, oh, well that's a different thing. So

331
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: that's you know what fair eat fair and balance? What? Yeah?

332
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: What what is I guess, you know.

333
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: Recovering the other seemingly in the midst Also, I think

334
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: it's different forms of uh you know, uh different. It

335
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Uh, smoke versus sniff doesn't matter. Not the point.

336
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: The point is I am having an allergy attack in

337
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: this room and on YouTube. I'm sure it looks terrible.

338
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Okay to the Rogers part. Uh, I think him not

339
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: playing in preseasons crazy. I don't get it. I don't

340
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: understand why he wouldn't. Last year they played him in preseason.

341
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: He's now even further removed. I would think something, right,

342
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: but right, it doesn't mean if he's healthy, which they

343
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: claim he is, and he does look like he's healthy,

344
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: I don't understand why he wouldn't play even if, and

345
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: this might sound dumb, even if you're just gonna call

346
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: running plays just so he can take some snaps from

347
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: the center in real time, he can call out protections,

348
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: he can communicate in the huddle. All that stuff that.

349
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: I just don't think you want your first live snaps

350
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 2: since you popped your achilles to be against the Niners

351
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: front in Week one on national TV. That seems crazy

352
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: to me. What asked me the follow up about the

353
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: Jets totals win?

354
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: So, yeah, how many more units do you want to

355
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: place for Jets under nine and a half wins? I

356
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 3: feel like you were hesitating.

357
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a big bet. No, that's gonna be

358
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: a big bet. The the more I the more that

359
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: comes out of Jets camp, the more I'm convinced this

360
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: is not a team that's gonna win double digit games. Uh,

361
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: and so I am so. I yeah that when we

362
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: do our post vacation in August and we do our

363
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: season gambling show where we do all the over unders, everything,

364
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: we will have a real investment in the Jets underachieving,

365
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: just like we did last year. By the way, in

366
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: investing in the Jets underachieving. Now, I understand Rogers popped

367
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 2: his achilles, So that was kind of a you know,

368
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: a gimme bet, But we're gonna be doing that all right.

369
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to other training camp stuff.

370
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: Demonse, Oh yeah, so everybody's super opinionated during training camp Monday,

371
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: Jj McCarthy's a bust on Tuesday's cake. Sam Darnold to

372
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: the curb, brock Party is getting getting caught in that

373
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: throwing picks in throwing picks in camp cycle? Are you

374
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: going to wait until a preseason to read and say

375
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: anything across the league? I think you've been going a

376
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: little crazy on Party already.

377
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: But well, I've been going crazy on Party again. I'm

378
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: just the only honest man in sports media would seem

379
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: this is the timeline for Brock Party. He gives an

380
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: interview to Mike Silver, saying basically, I'm done being conservative

381
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: in the last year when we had a lead. I

382
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: take my foot off the gas. This year, I want

383
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: to be more like Tom Brady. I want to step

384
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 2: on people's throat. The first practice after that interview, he

385
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: throws three picks. The next day's practice, after starting seven

386
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: for seven with a couple of touchdowns, he has an

387
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: eight pass stretch where he throws four interceptions, has two

388
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: dropped interceptions, one completed checkdown, and one in eat pass.

389
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: That's noteworthy, now, is it? Is it?

390
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: Do you pan.

391
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: Y? Yeah? But it isn't. Of course it is noteworthy. Uh.

392
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: And the to me, I think JJ McCarthy is going

393
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 2: to be the starter in Minnesota. I am interested in

394
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: the quarterback battle in Pittsburgh. That to me is super

395
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: noteworthy and interesting. Uh. And I think Russ missing time

396
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: gives Justin a real chance uh to win that one.

397
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: And I there's a real battle I think with the

398
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: Giants is a sneaky battle for the season where I

399
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: think Daniel Jones, because he has an injury guarantee if

400
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: he plays poorly, could be replaced by Drew Locke. There's

401
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: obviously a real battle going over Vegas and Denver as well.

402
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, no, go ahead, Denver, it's Jared said.

403
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: Nick and uh and and Zach Wilson is in there too.

404
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: I think they're saying that he's been doing well in camp.

405
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: I don't think Zach Wilson has a chance, but I

406
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: do think it'll be Nixon Stidham. And in Vegas it's

407
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: Gardner and Aidan O'Connell. So those are the things in

408
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: training camp I'm most interested in. All Right, let's go

409
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: to the Giants.

410
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: All right, So HBO finished there behind the scenes looked

411
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: at Giants offseason. One potential takeaway is New York is

412
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: going to turn things away and turn things around. Another

413
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: potential takeaway is people are saying that the average football

414
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: fantasy player might be able to be a bit better

415
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: NFL GM, What lessons have you learned from when you're

416
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 3: the GM of Lebron's Vegas team? If you got a

417
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: photoshop for those watching?

418
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: Will you too? Man? Oh? Hard Knicks practice with the

419
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Oh that's pretty good. I like that. Here's

420
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: what I've learned. Don't let cameras into your facility unless

421
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: you have immaculate job security and a R in the

422
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: exact same page with the owner. I feel bad for

423
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Joe Shane. I also think this has not been a

424
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: great look for Brian Dable, and of course they're just

425
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: open disgust from a coaching staff standpoint at Daniel Jones

426
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: is a tough look for him as well. Last year

427
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: I nailed all five Hall of Famers on this very show.

428
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game is tonight. We see if

429
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: a full year out I can nail the next class.

430
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: We do that next. What's Right? All right? Welcome back

431
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: in What's Right with the great episode two fifty two.

432
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the NFL Hall of Fame Demonsey.

433
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, so football is back tonight. Caleb Williams does not playing,

434
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 3: so who cares? Sorry all those Tyson badget fans out there.

435
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: Something we do care about is the Pro Football One

436
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 3: of them, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Last year,

437
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: you accurately predicted the Hall of Fame class. So here's

438
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: your chance to do it again this year.

439
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, last year, once we got to the twenty

440
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: five semifinalists on this show, we tried to narrow it

441
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 2: down to the ten finalists, and then we said, if

442
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: it were up to us, that Andre Johnson, Julius Peppers,

443
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: Patrick Willis, DWIGHTE Frani, and Devin Hester would be our five.

444
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of the reaction to that. Was

445
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: the most notable name that I did not have on

446
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: there that people thought I was insane for leaving out

447
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 2: was Antonio Gates, who was a first time you know,

448
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: a guy who was eligible for the first time. I

449
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: ended up I was again, I don't sound arrogant here,

450
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't mean to, but I ended up nailing all five.

451
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: I was a little shocked myself that I did it,

452
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: but I did. So now we have to say, this

453
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: will be a little harder because we don't have the

454
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: finalists yet, but we you know, last year we did

455
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: it once we had the semi finalists. So here are

456
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: the guys who last year were semi finalists and did

457
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: not even become finalists. So it doesn't mean they're eliminated.

458
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: But last year they didn't even make the final ten,

459
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: let alone the final fior. I'm sorry, last year they

460
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: didn't even make the final fifteen or so, let alone

461
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 2: the final five. And Kwam Bolden, Tiki Barber who is

462
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: not a Hall of Famer, London Fletcher who is not

463
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, Eddie George who is not a

464
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, James Harrison who might be a Hall

465
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: of Famer, Robert Mathis who might be a Hall of Famer,

466
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: Steve Smith Senior who might be a Hall of Famer,

467
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Ricky Waters who is not a Hall of Famer, Vince

468
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: will Fork who is not a Hall of Famer, and

469
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: hinz Ward who I do not feel as a Hall

470
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: of Famer at all, but a lot of the media

471
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: loves him. He's been a semifinalist eight times and might

472
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: be a Hall of Famer. But again, those were just

473
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: the semifinalists. Here are the guys who were finalists but

474
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: did not make it. Eric Allen in his eighteenth year

475
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: on the ballot, Jared Allen who has really good numbers

476
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: but is a tough one because the team us on

477
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: my Chiefs primarily were not good. Willie Anderson, who I

478
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: think will make the Hall of Fame one day, jarr

479
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: Evans who I think will make the Hall of Fame

480
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: one day, Antonio Gates who is going to make the

481
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame soon, Rodney Harrison tough one, Tory Holt

482
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: gotta get in at some point, Fred Taylor, Reggie Wayne

483
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: who I think gets in at some point, and Darren Woodson.

484
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: So here is the key to it. Who are the

485
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: new guys who were not on the ballot last time

486
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: who can take a spot? Eli Manning first time on

487
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: the ballot, Luke Keikley first time on the ballot, Marshall

488
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: Yonda first time on the ballot, Marshawn Lynch first time

489
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: on the ballot, Terrell Suggs first time on the ballot,

490
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: Darren Sprawls won't make it, Joe Staley won't make it.

491
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: A Key to Leave won't make it. The late Demarius

492
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: Thomas no chance of making it. Claim Matthews won't make it,

493
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: Ryan Khalil won't make it. No Cooch Matthews, No he's not.

494
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: He's not a Hall of Famer. I don't think. So

495
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: here is what I think happens. I think that Eli

496
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: is going to be a first ballot guy. I don't

497
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: know that I agree with it, but I you win

498
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: two Super Bowls as a quarterback in New York, both

499
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: over Tom Brady. I think he will make it first ballot.

500
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: I do not think anyone else in this class makes

501
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: it first ballot. Keithley, Yanda, and Suggs I think are

502
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: all eventual Hall of Famers, but I don't think they

503
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: will make it first ballot. Keithley gets helped by the

504
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: fact that Patrick Willis got in very similar career Arcs

505
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: so dominant short career. Suggs I think eventually gets in,

506
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: but is going to have to wait. And Yonda, I

507
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: don't think he can get in before jar R Evans.

508
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: So I think right now next year's class will be

509
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates, Tory Holt, finally getting in, Eli, Manning, Willie Anderson.

510
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: That's four guys, and you know what I think. I

511
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: think Suggs may be does get in first ballot and

512
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: Terrell Suggs that is again I'm not gonna be held

513
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: to that, but that is where I stand right now now.

514
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: Bill Barnwell, yesterday I haven't read the article yet, came

515
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: out with who he thinks is going to make it.

516
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: Oh wait a second, Oh well, I'm going I have

517
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 2: to adjust my take because there's somebody on this list

518
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: that I didn't realize was the first year eligible. Barnwell

519
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: projecting next year's class will be Eli who I said,

520
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates, who I just said, Terrell Suggs who I said,

521
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: Jared Allen who I don't agree with Bill on that,

522
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: And then he had Adam Vina Terry in his first

523
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: year eligible. I didn't realize Vinit Terry's eligible this coming year.

524
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: I'm sure Barnwell's right, then then he will get in.

525
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: If Vinitary's eligible, then he'll get in, and I think

526
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: Suggs will have to wait. I think the first time

527
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 2: will be Eli and Vinitary, and then I think it'll

528
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: be Willie Anderson, Antonio Gates, and Tory Holt. That's my

529
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: projection for next year's Hall of Fame class. UH and

530
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: Gabe says he doesn't know kickers were eligible. He didn't

531
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: like it. Hey, listen, in my lifetime, there's two kickers

532
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 2: that are Hall of Fame worthy, Vinitary and Justin Tucker.

533
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: Those are the two. Uh and Vinitary is the most

534
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: clutch kicks in NFL history. Justin Tucker is the best

535
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: kicker in NFL history. Those two guys should get in

536
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: demons before we move on to the game. You have

537
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: any thoughts, anything you want to say, I see it.

538
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: You're furrowing up.

539
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: No, I just I was confusing Justin Tucker with another

540
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: I was confusing him with your kicker for the Chiefs

541
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 3: for some reason. I don't know.

542
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh, Harrison Butker, Yeah, okay, sounds yeah Buckers No, no, no, Ellisen.

543
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 2: Bucker is an excellent kicker, and he's made a bunch

544
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: of clutch kicks. But in order to be and again

545
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: maybe I'll be wrong, maybe Minitary won't make it, But

546
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: in order for a kicker to make the Hall of Fame,

547
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 2: you kind of have to be the goat of something.

548
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: And Military has the most points in l history, played

549
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: forever and hit all those clutch kicks to win Super Bowls.

550
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: Now again, I mean, you can say the Butcker hit,

551
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 2: you know, hit big field goals on the Chiefs run.

552
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: But he's not that guy. And Tucker is the most

553
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: deadly kicker in NFL history. All right, let's play. Nick

554
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: makes it right.

555
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's a lot of broken things in sports

556
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: right now. Luckily we have the man to make them

557
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: right and Nick right. So the first off, we got

558
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: a three v three basketball. It's fast paced, exciting hoops.

559
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: The only issue is Jimmer for Debt is our star

560
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: player and we're down two YEA qualifying and other FEBA

561
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: commitments overlap with parts of the NBA season, which is

562
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 3: why we don't see NBA players out there. How do

563
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: we make this right?

564
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty simple, and I don't need them

565
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 2: to practice together or qualify together. I don't need any

566
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: of it. I think that at next year's Olympics, this

567
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: is what we do. If we're that we have our

568
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: twelve guys who are on the Olympic team, and then

569
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: three bench mob type role player guys who don't care

570
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: if they play or not. Once we have the exhibition

571
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: season of the actual Olympic basketball, we figure out of

572
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: those twelve stars on our Olympic team, the three that

573
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: are gonna be the odd men out this year, it

574
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: would have been Embiid, Tatum, Halliburton, and we say good news, fellas,

575
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: good news, bad news. Bad news is you're not gonna

576
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: be on the Olympic team anymore for five on five.

577
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 2: Good new news is you're gonna return us to glory

578
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: in three on three and you three guys are gonna

579
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: go dominate three on three basketball.

580
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: That's is that your pick for your three.

581
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: Three three guys who are on the again. The thing

582
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 2: with the three v three is it's twos and ones.

583
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 2: So threes, which are two's are actually at a huge,

584
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: huge premium because they're worth double. So that's why, like

585
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 2: you have a guy like Jimmer for that. But yeah,

586
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: I think Haliburton, Tatum, and Embiid would go ahead and

587
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: win the three on three tournament. So that's my that's

588
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: my answer, all right.

589
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: Next, So, as we talked about last week, kickoffs are

590
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: changing this year. Another wrinkle on side kicks are all

591
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: but dead. Now only only trailing teams in the fourth

592
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: quarter are allowed to try them, and they also need

593
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: to announce that they're trying at first. Is there anything

594
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: that we could do to make this right, that's that's crazy.

595
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: Well, listen, what do you mean.

596
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: Like onside kicks are already super hard to execute. It's like, oh,

597
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 3: you got to definitely go and tell us you're doing

598
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: them now.

599
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 2: But well, I mean, listen, they I mean they basically

600
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: tell them they're doing it now when they as long

601
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: as I'm surprising, you know when the other team's doing

602
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 2: it because of how they line up. Listen. I liked

603
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: the fourth and seventeen suggestion to replace on side kicks,

604
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: which is, you have the ball on your own thirty,

605
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: you have a fourth and seventeen. If you get it,

606
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: you keep the ball. If not, the other team gets

607
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: it wherever that play ended. That's like a I like

608
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: that idea. I don't think I think it's too revolutionary

609
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: for the NFL. I don't really care about on side kicks,

610
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 2: to be honest with you. I do like the new

611
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: kickoff rule, and I think the new kickoff rule is

612
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: going to expose well coached and poorly coached teams. So

613
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see that. All right, let's go to

614
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 2: the next topic. Demos.

615
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: Uh. Everyone agrees Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in football.

616
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: So here, Bobby Witt Junior has now answered the conversation

617
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 3: with the best player in baseball.

618
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: Hit four ninety in July, hit four ninety four ninety

619
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: five twenty eight thirty splits for a month.

620
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, it's not fair that Kansas City is

621
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: home to the two best players in the sports. So

622
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: to level the playing field, how do we make it? Right?

623
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, we don't need to level the playing field.

624
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: Here's my question, city by city major American sports. And

625
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: I'm just not gonna include hockey because I don't know

626
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: enough about hockey. But Kansas City just flat wins if

627
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: it's your best two guys, even though we only have

628
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 2: two teams, like who like, let's just go major cities, right,

629
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 2: So for Houston, it'd be CJ. Stroud and Altuve or CJ.

630
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: Stroud and Shingoon. I don't know they're out. Dallas would

631
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 2: be Luca and Mica. Pretty good. Who wouldn't new your calf?

632
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: You got ten teams who would new your calf? Judge

633
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: and all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, Judge and Brunt,

634
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: I think is right.

635
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 3: I thought wet we were staying in sports, but yeah,

636
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: you had said, Luca, we're going all on the outside.

637
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the football, basketball, baseball, Miami would have Jimmy

638
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: Butler and Tyreek h saying no, no, no, no, we're

639
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: not We're not doing that. I said. The three major

640
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 2: American team sports, uh L A L A is.

641
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 3: Close and Bron. I think it is what it would Yeah.

642
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: I mean that's close for Mahomes, Mahomes, Bobby Witt Pittsburgh

643
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: would have t J. Watt and Paul Skeens.

644
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 3: Close. Then you're saying Mahomes is better than Lebron in

645
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: their respective sports, I.

646
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: Think right now, yeah, of course, well okay, yeah, yeah,

647
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: right now, Uh who would the Bay Area have Christian

648
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 2: McCaffrey and Steph That's pretty good, that's pretty good. Uh yeah,

649
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, we have the okay soup, we would have

650
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: the We would have the best duo of any of

651
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: anybody's crazy man Daniel. Daniel just totally embarrassed himself by

652
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: texting Jokic and Pat Sertan the second Daniel get out

653
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: of here and Patsertan is a really good corner and

654
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: he but they are not. Kansas City's second team of

655
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: Kelsey Salvi Prez would would go toe to toe with

656
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: Jokic Patzer Tangingior, give me break? Uh? And so, but yeah,

657
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: I mean Kansas City. We got the best duo. I

658
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 2: love it all right? Last one demande.

659
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 3: Reason has been committed. The House of Dragons season finale

660
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 3: was leaked online earlier this week. How do we make

661
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 3: it right? That's so?

662
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: Why do people do just say listen? I don't know,

663
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 2: but I've avoided spoilers, so I'm excited. Listen. I've really

664
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: enjoyed the season. I'm bummed it to only eight episodes.

665
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: Back when I was a kid, TV shows would be

666
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: twenty three episodes, and then they recently became twelve or thirteen,

667
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it's like, no, they're ten,

668
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: and now some seasons are eight episodes. That's disappointing.

669
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

670
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that the season finale was coming up

671
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: until last week's episode, when they were like the second

672
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: to last episode, Like, what is going on? The season

673
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 2: just started? But I've avoided the spoilers. All right, we'll

674
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: do some listener questions wrap up the show next. What's right?

675
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in? What's right with Nick? Right?

676
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 2: Demon's a let's do some listener questions.

677
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 3: Hey, so, David mckel rearing asked Nick, which Lebron nickname

678
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: is your favorite? Captain Lamerica or the whole Testament.

679
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: I like Captain Lamerica. That's pretty funny. The old Testament

680
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen. I think the listen. I gotta tell you,

681
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: the picture of Lebron holding the flag with the boat

682
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: going down the scene is pretty was pretty dope. And

683
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: then like some of these pictures of Lebron are just

684
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 2: unintentionally funny when Coco Goff's doing the interview and he's

685
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 2: just standing behind her like these they're legitimately funny pictures, man,

686
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: and he is really leaning into this whole you know, this,

687
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: this whole experience, and part of it's dope. Part of

688
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 2: it's sad because, as I said to Colin yesterday, it's

689
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: on the board that these Olympic games are the last

690
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: super meaningful games of Lebron's basketball life, that the Lakers

691
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: are just not gonna be competing for championships. And Lebron's

692
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: been excellent, Durant's been excellent, Lebron's been excellent, It's been

693
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: great to watch, all right.

694
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 3: Next, Matt versus Money, question for Nick, and question for

695
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 3: Nick and Alcarez. Question for Nick, did out has cost

696
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 3: them the match? How did you feel about Coco's Olympic performance?

697
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 3: She struggled a bit in mixed doubles, but she was

698
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 3: trying to carry.

699
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I have not. I've not been as

700
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: locked in. I don't. I don't think it's fair to

701
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: say Alca has cost them the match. I know Coco lost,

702
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: but I wasn't the a lot of the tennis that's

703
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: been going on while I've been prepping for the TV show,

704
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 2: so I can't really give you fair analysis on that.

705
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the next one.

706
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 3: Facing Felix said Sugg justin for Nick, sports climbing is

707
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 3: a must watch.

708
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 2: Listen. I love these I don't want to say random,

709
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: but these sports that I otherwise wouldn't see. I totally agree.

710
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: Go to aj Aj says, what are your thoughts on

711
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 3: the Turkish shooter? Who got so? Who got silvery?

712
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 2: Guys? Awesome? All these other folks have like an eye

713
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: cover and this and that. This dude just comes out there,

714
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 2: puts his hand in his pocket, no eyewear and just

715
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: nails and just crushes. I love that picture.

716
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: That was awesome. That was awesome.

717
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the last one.

718
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: Justin Pinders said, Hey, Nick, after watching your show, my

719
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 3: football knowledge grew a thousand times and I feel I

720
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 3: can rival your basketball knowledge. Now. I want to start

721
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: a pod any tips. I'm a year older than Demon's.

722
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: The only tips are in the beginning of one of

723
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: these things. Do not worry about how many people are listening.

724
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: It's actually to your benefit to not have people listening

725
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: because you just want want to get the reps and

726
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 2: you just want to get comfortable and figure out what

727
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: you want to do. Like, don't worry about like growing

728
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: subscribers and stuff like that. Uh in the beginning at all.

729
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: Just worry about doing it and do it consistently and

730
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: you'll get better. All right. Other best sports duos uh

731
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: DJ doc Nev says Zion and Cam Jordan for New Orleans.

732
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: I with respect that that's if that is the right list,

733
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: that's a sad list. It's an indictment on the Saints.

734
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 2: And I like Cam Jordan, but he's one of the

735
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: oldest players in the league. Horton GMR says Elie de

736
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: la Cruise and Burrow. That's not bad. I like, I

737
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: mean Ellie's no Bobby Witt junior, but he's exciting and

738
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 2: Burrow's awesome. Uh, Carter says Justin Jefferson an ant that's

739
