Speaker 2: and of course, uh, Monday, the legal tampering period, free agency,

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: we go back to football before the tournament, so we've

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: got lots of good to uh. And the Raiders make

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: a move, a pretty dramatic one, uh, landing Gino Smith

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: for a third round pick. And my main man is

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: a monster Raider fan, so I can't wait. There we

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: had to say, and then we also got to talk

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: about the Jokers first thirty twenty twenty game, which was unbelievable,

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: the NBA's first thirty twenty twenty game last night with

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: the Nuggets in overtime.

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: FITZI, you got a quarterback you.

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: Like, oh Man, so let me paint a picture for you,

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: my friend paying a picture for you, my brother sitting

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: out there. Last night, I take myself out to a

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 4: little bit of you know, little dinner. I'm eating a

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: little dinner, catching up with a couple of buddies, or

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: hanging out, you know, just eating eating my grilled chicken,

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: just normal Friday night. And then all of a sudden, yeah,

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I look at it, Like the

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: entire table just starts looking at me, and I'm like,

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: what do I have food on my face? And they're like,

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: you might want to check your phone. You know, this

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 4: was It was a glorious moment last night. Because here's

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: the thing. A lot of people are going to say

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: a lot of things about the mediocrity of Gino Smith.

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: We've talked about, you know, Gino's good enough to get

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: you to a certain level, but God only knows if

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: he can get you past that. All of these conversations

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: right now don't matter what's real. For the they traded

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: a third round pick, of which, by the way, they

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: have multiple, They traded one of their third round picks

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: to go at least give themselves flexibility. And I think

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: that's what everybody right now needs to understand. The most

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 4: is like, does Gino need to be the forever answer? No,

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Watch Pete Carroll's history. Pete in the past with Seattle

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 4: has signed quarterbacks and drafted quarterbacks. What we know is

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: that a seventy three year old coach wasn't going to

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: come in and wait three or four years to find

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: the right quarterback. What we know is that at least

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: right now, it looks like this year's draft doesn't necessarily

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: have that guy, even though everyone wants to put the

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: Raiders with Shador. So now here's what happens. This is

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: why this is a beautiful thing. The Raiders get on

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 4: the clock at six. If they love Shadoor Sanders, take

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: Shador Sanders. Fine. If you want to sign a quarterback

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: and develop a quarterback Ali kirk Cousins and Michael Pennix Junior,

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: I think that's become a new model in the NFL.

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: The flip side of it is, if you don't love Shadoor,

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: you don't have to force anything. You don't have to

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: suddenly take a quarterback that you may not believe is

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: worth picking at that spot. You can address any of

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: your other many needs with the best player available. I

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 4: will never fault a team for giving themselves flexibility going

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: into the draft for a third round draft pick. And

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 4: I don't care about the money he's going to get

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: because it's Mark Davis's money, not my money. So man,

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: I think this is a great moment for the Raiders.

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: Have a competent quarterback that could come in and help

69
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 4: them win the football games. I feel much better about

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 4: the Raiders season today than I did twenty four hours ago.

71
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: I think this is a great move.

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Wow, you know what. I love your ratchingale I do.

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I love where you're headed. And obviously the Raiders were

74
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: looking for that quarterback they can trust, right, Like we

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: talked about how they flirted with Matt Stafford. So you

76
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: wanted competency, which is something. What was the last competent quarterback?

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: I mean Carr? Carr had some good years, Carr had

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: some good moments.

79
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but I was never a big fan.

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, you're right, you know, but at least

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: you got someone you could try it out and then

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: you're right, you could develop.

83
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: You know.

84
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because when you hear all the talk

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: about the draft, and it's amazing people still think they're

86
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: gonna go one too, even though nobody really is in

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: love with these quarterbacks and the Shador stuff. I mean,

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: talking to guys around the league, there's not a lot

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: of fans of Shador. It's it's amazing, like he was

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: kind of under I think guys are like underwhelmed by

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: both by both quarterbacks, yet everybody thinks they're gonna go

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: one too.

93
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: Well. And so here's what it's interesting to me. Yesterday

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 4: when we were filming or recording one of my Yahoo

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: shows since I coverage Charles Robinson the Yahoo NFL Insider,

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 4: it's funny. Yesterday morning, we finished a segment and he

97
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: says to me at the end, because we talked about

98
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: Shador for about half an hour on the show, and

99
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: at the end he says to me, just to give

100
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: you a point of reference for where Sea Rob is,

101
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: he says to me, Hey, fits quick question, how would

102
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: you feel about Gino to the Raiders? Let's say for

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: like a third round draft pick? You like that? And

104
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 4: so that was yesterday morning. So I only say that

105
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: to everybody to say Sea Rob always seems to know

106
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: what's going on a day.

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: Early, right.

108
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: So he came back from the combine in Indie, and

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: the first thing he said to all of us in

110
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: our production meeting was, this is going to be the

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: most interesting quarterback situation we've seen since Aaron Rodgers. Because

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: there are truly people that think that he's going to

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: go to for Shador and there are truly people that

114
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: think he's going to slip out of the first round altogether.

115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: And that's wild to me. And you look at how

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: many teams need a quarterback right now. I can't imagine

117
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: that he falls farther than the middle of the first round.

118
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: But at some point where there's smoke, there's fire. For

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: all of this conversation, I don't as many people, you know,

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: this is Lion season. I get that. It just feels

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: like there are too many smart people that I think

122
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 4: are really good at their job, that are good and

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: plugged in, that are telling me that should or could

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: fall for me to be comfortable, like I genuinely don't know.

125
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: I think it makes sense that he would go too

126
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: to Cleveland because they got to have a quarterback at

127
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: some point and they can't afford any other option because

128
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: of the Deshaun contract. But I also don't think I'll

129
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: be surprised if we're sitting there on draft night and

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: he gets picked eighteen by somebody.

131
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I mean I've had I had people

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: tell me the same thing. It was the weirdest thing

133
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: because they're also like, I don't see it. I don't

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: think they shouldn't happen, but they could go one too.

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: And that's bizarre, right, because to your point, I hear

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: the same thing.

137
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: There's like no one in love with them and either quarterback,

138
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: and yet there's still a chance that they're going to

139
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: go one too, and that people are going to go

140
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: there's so there is so much desperation out there for quarterbacks.

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: That's he said it. Actually a few people said it

142
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: and use the word desperate. But one guy who's always

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: inside the league, who's always knowsed his thought, he's really sharp,

144
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: and he was like, dude, He's like, there's a lot

145
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: of desperation out here.

146
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: And that's why I keep saying over and over and

147
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: over the analogy I use. For anyone who hasn't heard this,

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: I'll say it again. We all have a friend that

149
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: walks into the room with his buddies and he's like,

150
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: I got engaged, and everybody's like, oh really, why well,

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: we've been together for a long time, and that's just

152
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: what you do. It's time that marriage never works out

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: because you don't get married just because you are desperate

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: to get married like that doesn't typically work out for

155
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: anybody just because you need a quarterback and you're desperate

156
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: for a quarterback. Everybody in league circles last year understood

157
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: that last year's draft was going to be far better

158
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: at the quarterback situation. And every buddy in the league

159
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: understands that next year is going to be far better

160
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: at the quarterbacks. So I think you just have to Unfortunately,

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: and then this is my message to Titans fans, Giants fans,

162
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: Raiders fans, Jets fans, everybody that's sitting here saying, well,

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: we need a quarterback. We all know that these teams

164
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: need a quarterback, but just because you need one doesn't

165
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: mean you can manufacture one. And Cam and Shadour, I

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: think Jackson, Dart, Taglam, all of these quarterbacks are talking

167
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: about if you take them in the second round and

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: they're developed for two or three years and then they

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: get on the field, I think these guys, several of

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: these guys could come into the league and have a

171
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: real shot, but nothing changes the fact that if a

172
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 4: guy is taking it too overall, the way they're judged

173
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 4: is different, the timeline is different, what we expect from

174
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: them is different forever. So you know, the funny thing

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 4: to me is that if you told me that somebody

176
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: took Shador with the Browns took the Shador in the

177
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: second round in a beautiful world, they were able to

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: get him in the second I look at that and say, wow,

179
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: that's great. Take a flyer, take.

180
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: Even if it's the middle to the end of the

181
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: first round. Yeah.

182
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: Right, It's just you know, it's just not top top

183
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: ten because there's enough top ten talent out there that

184
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: shouldn't warn it. Like we're talking about. You know, what

185
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: the Raiders need to do is build an O line.

186
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I mean it's great GINO so

187
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: you have some competency there. But I keep I screamed

188
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: to people, the Eagles showed you the blueprint. They showed

189
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: you the blueprint in seventeen when they won the Super Bowl,

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: and they showed you the blueprint last year and this

191
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: whole run of relevancy. They have a great O line.

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: It's the Eagles and probably the Lions that have the

193
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: best offensive lines in football, and you o reason why

194
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: the Lions didn't get to the championship games because of

195
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: all the injuries.

196
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: You got to build fronts.

197
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: You just do all this talk about you know, I

198
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, quarterbacks and receivers and all the skill guys.

199
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: You got to build fronts. It's just how the game

200
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: is won.

201
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: And the hardest part about that is offensive linemen are

202
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: the toughest for most of us to evaluate, you know,

203
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 4: And that's just being honest for a lot a lot

204
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: of people. I have for years, I've got like a

205
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 4: small committee of friends that all played offensive linemen in

206
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: high level college or the NFL, and I always refer

207
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: to them as my factut committee. And when I do

208
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: my draft prep, I'm the first to admit that what

209
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: I do on offensive line is I send different notes

210
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 4: to different friends that played, and I say, tell me

211
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 4: what I need to know about this person, because I

212
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: simply it's so hard to be able to break down interior,

213
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: Like who knows guard play? Not many people covering the

214
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: draft no guard plays.

215
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: So you need film. You just have to study. You

216
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: just have to study film over and over and over.

217
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, then I was in NFL films last week.

218
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: I'll be there this week with Baldy. Just go to

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: over all the prospects and you know, I mean, it's

220
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot. I'm not doing it fornt of living.

221
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: We're just doing it for our draft stuff. But you know,

222
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: you're a personnel guy. This is why you have you know,

223
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: your Diegles have a guy, a guy named Jeff Staltlin

224
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: who's their O line coach, who is a legendary kind

225
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: of figure. Who who would who was who told Howie

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: Roseman to draft Jordan Mayolotta and they got him late

227
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: in the draft and he became one of the best

228
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: starting left tackles in football. And he was a rugby

229
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 2: player from Australia. And you need your guys like that

230
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: to identify real talent, you know, guys that could be

231
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: projects that you know you strike all down. That's I mean,

232
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: that's extraordinary that you get a seventh round pick, sixth

233
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: round pick and becomes your starting left tackle. But there

234
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: is a lot of value to be had in the

235
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: middle rounds with Oligneman.

236
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: Well, and stick with that value conversation because think for

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: a second about this year's draft and then think about

238
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: who gets paid what Because one thing that happens is

239
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: we constantly say, well, you got to win with a

240
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 4: quarterback on a rookie deal, because that's the way it goes.

241
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: And as I've said to you repeatedly, I think that's

242
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 4: a little bit of a fallacy, and I also think

243
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: it's way over simplification. But we are now reaching a point,

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: especially when you look at what's happened with Max Crosby's deal,

245
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: and then what's going to happen with the deals that

246
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 4: inevitably Hendrickson's going to get and Miles Carrett's going to get.

247
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: We're at a spot where you better win with an

248
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: edge rusher on a rookie contract because edge rushers are

249
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 4: starting to make what pretty good quarterbacks make, right, So

250
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: that increases the value of wanting somebody like abdual Carter

251
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: for example, in the draft. And then you look at

252
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 4: how much offensive linemen are starting get, you know, tackles

253
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: in general, we know what they get paid, so all

254
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's like, well, you better hit on

255
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: an offensive lineman. I think the point here is that

256
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: when you have a top ten pick, instead of sitting

257
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 4: here and obsessing over well, we need a quarterback. Need

258
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: a quarterback, We need a quarterback. Okay, you also need

259
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: to get better at every positions with as much value

260
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 4: as you possibly can. So now, going back even to

261
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: the Geno trade, because all they gave up was one

262
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: of their third round picks, there's still in a situation

263
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 4: where if they choose to move up for somebody, they can.

264
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: If they want to move down, they can, And if

265
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: they sit where they are, they will likely be in

266
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: position to get one of if not the best offensive

267
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: lineman or one of if like the best defensive tackle

268
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: may still be on the line, the best wide receiver

269
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 4: is still going to be there for you. You get flexibility,

270
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, And I just think that's such a important part.

271
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: Like I don't want my favorite team's GM, no matter

272
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: what team I'm rooting for, I don't want my favorite

273
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: teams GM to be sitting in their war room in

274
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 4: April with a clear cup board that tells them, for example,

275
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: that Brock Bauers is the best player, and then say, yeah,

276
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: but we really need a quarterback, so forget the board.

277
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: Let's just go get the quarterback we need. I don't

278
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: think you successfully build that way. So to your point,

279
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: knowing that a team like the Raiders needs help on

280
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: particular the offensive line. You're in a much better spot

281
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: to address that than you were twenty four hours ago

282
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: because now you don't have to overreach for a quarterback.

283
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, and to you and to your point,

284
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: you could wait. Listen, they're in a ridiculously tough division, right, Yeah,

285
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: you got the Chiefs, you got the Chargers who are

286
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: going to be You saw it last year with Harball,

287
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: how much better they were, right you looked at Herbert

288
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: how much better he looked last year.

289
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: As soon as they give him.

290
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Some help and get him another wide out and you know,

291
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: you look at him, They're going to be really good

292
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: Denver with bod Knicks, but bow Nicks would be the

293
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: number one pick in the draft this year. And with

294
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: Peyton they look great. So you're you're in that Nancy division.

295
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: But to your point, you have you'll have competent play

296
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: and and that's you've got to be able to stay

297
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: in games like you just can't. You just can't go

298
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: into it. Last year for the most part, I mean,

299
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: you talked about it every week. You're happy if they

300
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: weren't blown out.

301
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, and this isn't even just a Geno Smith proposition.

302
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: By the way, this is a let's just let's just

303
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: say this this way, you got a shot at Shadoor

304
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: Sanders for example, or trading up for camboard, or you

305
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: cannot lose any future equity in the draft, so you

306
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: still can be able to draft over the next couple

307
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: of years. You signed Geno and at six you can

308
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: get let's say, let's say they want Ashton Genty. So

309
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, this isn't just Shaeduur versus

310
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: Geno or whatever quarterbacks available. This is Shadoor versus Geno

311
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: and Ashton Genty. That's a much different conversation, you know.

312
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: So I think looking at the offense as a whole

313
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: and looking at just being competent. One thing that Pete

314
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: Carroll has said since he got the job is that

315
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: you have to surround the quarterback to make to help

316
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: them to make your team. And I think this gives

317
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: him the flexibility to do that. You're so right that

318
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: when you are in the AFC West, when you're in

319
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 4: the AFC in general, if you genuinely are asking yourself

320
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: to draft a quarterback that can compete, you're asking yourself

321
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: can I draft a Hall of Fame quarterback because right

322
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: now the mount Rushmore in the AFC are a bunch

323
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: of future Hall of famers. So you know it. To me,

324
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: you have a much better chance of doing that if

325
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: you're aggressive in a year that you just absolutely love

326
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: a guy like Sean Payton loved Bonis. Okay, they went

327
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: up and they got Bnicks. I respect the hell out

328
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: of if you are. If you love Josh Allen, you

329
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: give you move mountains to get him. I have no

330
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: problem with that. If you sort of like Shador, you

331
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: don't move mountains, you don't even draft him. You don't

332
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: put yourself in that situation. You give yourself other options.

333
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you.

334
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: All right, we got lots to get to. Let's go

335
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: over a lot of stuff heading into Monday, since could

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: be a big NFL show today, we'll look at we'll

337
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: start looking at the draft. We're gonna go through team

338
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: by team today, all right, and kind of look at

339
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: potential free agents where they're at, who they're gonna lose,

340
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: what they might add. I love this stuff. This is

341
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: this fun stuff. We've got college so we got the

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: tournament around the corner. Conference tournaments are underway, dude, thirty

343
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.

344
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

345
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god.

346
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 2: I mean it was funny. I'm a nerd, right, a

347
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: box score nerd. I love box scores, so especially at

348
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: my I'm watching games like I watch games especially, you know,

349
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: like before our show last night was up late watch,

350
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: I was watching a lot of different basketball and I'm

351
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: watching the Nuggets. I'm looking and I'm looking at this score.

352
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it, at the what do you call it?

353
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: The box score, and I'm going, my god, he's got

354
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: look at that the eighteen rebounds. Like I was watching Walker,

355
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: I was watching I'm looking at Walker. Kessler have like

356
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: twenty boards in the first half. He fits for twenty three.

357
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: He had twenty one rebounds, twenty two assists, thirty one points,

358
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: three steals. I mean, are you kidding me? That's that's

359
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: an like that's filling a box score. My god. The joker,

360
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: he's such a great player, man, he really is. Forget

361
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: about just the the eye popping numbers. When you just

362
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: watch him, He's every bit of what Larry Bird was

363
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: in yesterday's game. Just the way he sees the floor.

364
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: He's sick amazing all right, Well that's to do where

Speaker 3: Oh it's always fun.

380
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: Uh all right, brother, let's go through because you know,

381
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: we're obsessed with quarterbacks. So let's look at some of

382
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: the team's team by team and where they sit and

383
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: would you be happy with their quarterback situation?

384
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 3: All right?

385
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: Because this is this is an interesting exercise because it's

386
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: one of a few halves, a lot of all right,

387
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: like we're good, and a lot of like we're desperate.

388
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: It's so interesting.

389
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 4: That's that's that's also interesting to me too, because I think,

390
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 4: and we'll see this if we go through this process.

391
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: Having been a fan of a team that just has,

392
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: you know, struggled to find a great quarterback, I have

393
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 4: learned to at least appreciate a quarterback that can keep

394
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: you competitive, I will say that. So it's interesting because I,

395
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 4: just like everybody else, know that when you're competing against

396
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Like, if

397
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: you don't have one of those guys, it's gonna be

398
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: really hard to win a super Bowl. That's the way

399
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard to get through the AFC. But

400
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: at the same time, man, there's a hopelessness to winning

401
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: three games, you know. So it's it's interesting to see

402
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 4: where we fall on this because sometimes you can have

403
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: a pretty good quarterback depending on where your team is.

404
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 4: Maybe you need that to help you right now, or

405
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: maybe you're frustrated with that because you want to take

406
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: the next step. It's funny how the team will sort

407
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: of dictate some of that.

408
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Does the Jalen Hurts

409
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: effect give hope? Look, I mean, you know, obviously hurts

410
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: his my quarterback, and he was terrific as playing his

411
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: role right, which is, you know, he needed to be

412
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: a point guard. He needed to play like Magic Johnson

413
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: at which means get the ball out right. He's great

414
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: with his legs, see it go down the field. I

415
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: had the chance to sit down with Steve Spagnolo this week,

416
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: so I sat down with Spags to kind of go

417
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: over the Super Bowl play by play and which I.

418
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 3: Want to air on Monday.

419
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: And I mean, it's fascinating because they accomplish what they

420
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: wanted to accomplish in stopping Saquon. I mean, twenty five

421
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: carries fifty seven yards. He was like, dude, you tell

422
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: me twenty five carries fifty seven yards. Will take it

423
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: every day of a week, right like that? That was

424
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: our That was our goal, which was to stop Barkley

425
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: and stop the run game. He said, because Jalen made

426
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: just killer place and he's done that to us. He

427
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: did it in the last Super Bowl, the one they won.

428
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: He said, he just made a couple of those big plays.

429
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: There was a third down crosser to AJ Brown, there

430
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: was an AJ Brown down the field. There was a

431
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: Johan Dotson down the field throw. There was a couple

432
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: runs that he made. He made those big plays on

433
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: third down. That was because that was the difference. When

434
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: you look at it, the fact is Eagles defense could

435
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: control the game right and kids that he could move it.

436
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: The Chiefs defense, it's actually played well in the gate

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: when you go through the tape. I've watched it several

438
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: times now, and the Chiefs defense played well. But Jalen

439
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 2: man a handful of plays to tip it and then

440
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: allow their defense to take over.

441
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: And so in this moment, it feels like, even though

442
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 4: I was more of a Transformers guy, it feels like

443
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: the Eagles offense is a little bit like Voltron back

444
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: in the eighties. You know, the robot are.

445
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all of the yeah, they all came together.

446
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 4: So the chest of the Voltron robot is obviously the

447
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 4: offensive line, because that's like the beef of the entire thing.

448
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 4: But when you look at what made and makes the

449
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: Eagles so tough to defend for the next several years,

450
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 4: is I believe they've got a lot of greatness and

451
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 4: a very good quarterback. Like I don't think that, I

452
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 4: think it's fair to say that in my mind, at least,

453
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: I don't think of Jalen Hurts the same way I

454
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 4: think of you know, Patrick Mahomes. Usually I don't like

455
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: I think. I think Patrick Mahomes is being a life saver.

456
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: But I think Jalen Hurts is in the right system

457
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 4: situation for him that really brings out the best in

458
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 4: who he is. And they are built as a team

459
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 4: to be able to save one another when something goes wrong,

460
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: so to me, where the Chiefs are more transformers, like

461
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: it's up to it's up at this point, it's up

462
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: to Patrick Mahomes to be you know, optimist prime and

463
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 4: take care of everything. The Eagles are more vultron with

464
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of different things that come together. The harder

465
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 4: one to build, yes, thank you, I don't know the

466
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: eighties child of me coming out. The harder one to

467
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 4: build is the Eagles. And this is one thing I

468
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: talked to my draft buddies about all the time. Part

469
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: of the reason we're obsessed with the quarterback is you

470
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: can hit on Jayden Daniels and then all of a

471
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 4: sudden your team gets drastically better and now man like

472
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: the world has changed, and that's what everybody wants is fixed,

473
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 4: quick fix. It's tougher to hit on draft pick after

474
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: draft pick after draft pick, and that's part of what

475
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: the Eagles have done really well. Part of the reason

476
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 4: we even see a team like the Rams a little

477
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: differently is the way that they've drafted defensively when they've

478
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: had draft picks.

479
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 3: You know.

480
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 4: So, I think the Eagles deserve so much credit for

481
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: doing it the right way, piece by piece, and for

482
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: most teams that are trying to compete this year, I

483
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 4: think you have to do it piece by piece, because

484
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 4: again I don't I don't think there's a Jayden Daniels

485
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: in this year's draft. I don't think there's a CJ.

486
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: Stroft in this year's draft, and you know, so, to me,

487
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: the Eagles analogy becomes a great one if you're if

488
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: you're a team trying to figure out how to compete,

489
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 4: then at least look around and say, Okay, how do

490
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: we make the most out of this offensive line? Do

491
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 4: we have some weapons on the offense that are really

492
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: tough to handle?

493
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: You know?

494
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 4: Then can we get a pretty good quarterback and really

495
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 4: bring out the best of them. I think that that's

496
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 4: a smarter way to try and build. It just takes

497
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: really good front office work, long time, and I'm not

498
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 4: sure most teams have that, So you know, I think

499
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: the Eagles are hope. I'm not sure most teams GM

500
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 4: is as competent as Howie Roseman. We should all be

501
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: hoping that we do.

502
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: We all. Yeah.

503
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: You know the other thing too, when we talk about quarterbacks,

504
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 2: like and you see at the combine, I can't wait

505
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: to to watch him throw. And I love that position,

506
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: all right, I love it. It's my favorite position. I

507
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: love whatever it is. I love pitching, and I love

508
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: quarterback plays. My favorite thing in sports. I like to hear,

509
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: to close my eyes and hear the football. It's like

510
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: when you have a great arm and you hear it.

511
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: It's like bacon sizzling on a stove, Like you hear it,

512
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: and I love it. But that's not what quarterback play

513
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: is now. Back in the day, you need it a

514
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: great arm to succeed. I mean, I can get Montana,

515
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: but Montana didn't have to act like he had a

516
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: noodle arm.

517
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: I mean he could still. He was acturate as all

518
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: get out, and he can still throw it.

519
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: Now you need so many elements, like you gotta process

520
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: it really really fast. You gotta be able to move

521
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: like those are more important than your arm talent. Like

522
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: you look at Jaydon Daniels and he's ridiculous. He's got

523
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: a beautiful arm, great arm, makes every throw, he's accurate,

524
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 2: he's got sizzle to it right. But what makes him

525
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: so ridiculously good is he he can move. He knows

526
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: exactly where everything is, he sees the field, and he

527
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: processes ultra fast.

528
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: That's really what makes you great as a quarterback.

529
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: Now, I think to that end, something that really changed

530
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: the way I see quarterback play was the first time

531
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 4: I was lucky enough to stand on the field during

532
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: a game. And you know, at the time, I had

533
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: a friend with the Raiders that helped me get a

534
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: field pass for the Raiders Titans game in Nashville, and

535
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: they put a photographer's a jacket on me so I

536
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: could just stand on the field and watch the game,

537
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 4: which was an incredible experience, right, But standing in the

538
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 4: end zone where you can see what the quarterback is seeing,

539
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: and then understanding how quick it all feels. I think

540
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: one thing that most of us don't realize. Even if

541
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 4: you played football, you forget it over the years. You

542
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: forget how hard it is to gain a yard when

543
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: you've got twenty two bodies up against each other, and

544
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: how small a window five yards is, for example, so

545
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 4: you forget that, and then realizing the anticipation of throw

546
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 4: standing on the field watching at the time Derek Carr

547
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 4: was throwing the ball for the Raiders and just seeing

548
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: that when he threw the football there's nobody anywhere near it.

549
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 4: But then the speed of the game and the speed

550
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: of the decision making from the field level is so

551
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 4: it's overwhelming a little bit. So to your point the processing,

552
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: if you think about what quarterbacks talk about all the time,

553
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 4: and what we have to remember is that from the

554
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: time they break the huddle, they have a what ten

555
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 4: seconds to look around, figure out what defense they're in,

556
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: and then try and figure out out from some of

557
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: the pre snap motion what the defense is going to do.

558
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: And then they snap the ball and they have to

559
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 4: immediately figure out a if they were right in what

560
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: they diagnosed, and b where they're going with the football.

561
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: And then we also want them to go through three

562
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 4: reads when they go in that process. So exactly, it's

563
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: just when you actually list out everything we ask a

564
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 4: quarterback to do. I think that's why football intelligence is important,

565
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: and that's why work ethic is important to so many

566
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 4: other people because like in some positions in football, you

567
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: can just memorize the playbook, can go out and run.

568
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 4: At the quarterback position, you are truly like you're playing chess. Well,

569
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: one of the keys to playing chess is thinking three

570
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: or four moves ahead, right, like you're playing chess for

571
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: the entire game, and every single new snap is a

572
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: new game of chess. Like that's just that's a lot

573
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: for anybody to try.

574
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: By God, the mental acuity it takes, it's unbelievable. The

575
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: stress of that position. Now, it's more stressed than anything

576
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: anything else, not even close to the sports. It's more

577
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: mental stress. And then we complain about about windows. Ah, well,

578
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: you know what you gotta throw with tight windows? You know,

579
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: freaking hard it is to a identify it right, if

580
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: there's no rush, if there's no pressure, how difficult it

581
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: is to put it in a tight window. Now add

582
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: pressure to it. It's ridiculous. Man. That's why I love

583
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: these kids, because the kids today, this crop of athletes

584
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: where we sit, are the most dedicated and most intelligent

585
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: at the top level of any athlete we've ever seen

586
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: in each sport. Because you're trained they're trained individually. I

587
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: talk about it all the time. Fits you with you,

588
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: but they're trained individually from you know, eighth grade through

589
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: high school. It's college and that's all they do. I

590
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: tell you all the time about a couple of standback

591
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in my area and what their life is. Their

592
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: life is film study. You're a sophomore in high school,

593
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: it's March. You're watching film two hours a day, and

594
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: you're throwing every day.

595
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 4: I think what's wild about that is it's a different language.

596
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: And so that I say all the time. From a

597
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: music background, I tell people a lot when they have

598
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 4: kids and they ask me, you know, when should I

599
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 4: start am on piano or whatever you're gonna ask your

600
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 4: kid to play. My answer to that is as early

601
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: as humanly possible, because as you get older, you start

602
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: to realize that you're dominant with one hand or the other.

603
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: So playing the piano or the violin, particularly ambidextras instruments,

604
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: so you have to be able to use both hands.

605
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: If you start playing them when you're ten, you already

606
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: understand that while I'm right handed and my left hand sucks.

607
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: So then asking people to do two different things with

608
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 4: their hands at the same time gets tougher and tougher.

609
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: You also have to grow up sort of speaking the

610
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: language of written music, right Like, so if I'm learning

611
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 4: a classical music piece, part of the reason that when

612
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 4: I was, you know, eight years old, I was practicing

613
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: eight hours a day was because you're memorizing thousands of

614
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 4: notes over and over and over again, and they have

615
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 4: to be done perfectly and meticulously. And that's something that

616
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 4: you know, I did my whole life. So, you know,

617
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 4: a gift that I have at this point, that I've

618
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: earned is that you know when when somebody, if you

619
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 4: play something for me, I can usually pick up any instrument,

620
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: particularly violent, and play a pack for you, Like I

621
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 4: have that recognition language. It seems really impressive to people

622
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: that have never seen it before, but I've done it

623
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: my whole life. I only say that because it's very

624
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 4: reminiscent of what's happened for sports now. Because it used

625
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 4: to be as you got older, you started to play sports,

626
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: and then maybe in high school you started to like football,

627
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: and then you really liked it and you were putting

628
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 4: in the effort, and you got to go to college

629
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: and that's when you really hunger down. Now, to your point,

630
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 4: you've got six and seven creators out there that are

631
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: just they're eating, breathing, sleeping every ounce of film, study

632
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: and play breakdown, and to your point, they're speaking another language,

633
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: Like it's easier to learn Spanish if you start in

634
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: elementary school then if you start when you're forty, right.

635
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: So I think we do need to look at it

636
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: and say, man, the game is sped up and the

637
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: processing speed of these athletes is sped up in a

638
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 4: way that is just it's pretty surreal. Like the I

639
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: would argue that the intelligence being shown by a lot

640
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: of these college quarterbacks, we only see coaches calling in

641
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: a play, so we're like, oh, he's not doing anything.

642
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: We're forgetting how much they're still actually doing it. And

643
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: just the fact that they can speak the language that's

644
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 4: right protections.

645
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

646
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 4: To me, one of the luckiest things I've ever gotten

647
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: to do is is to sit down and break down

648
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: film with guys that played, because they say twenty things

649
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: you'd never even thought of from the break of the

650
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 4: huddle and you're like, okay, you saw that all that

651
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 4: from that guy being lined up two yards further to

652
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 4: the left, Yes, that indicates these things and it's like

653
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: the instant recognition that is impressive.

654
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're you're right, it's music, it's reading that language.

655
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm with you all right, Fellas hanging right here Fox

662
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: have two sons that play, and I'm really involved.

663
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 3: I coach every sport you.

664
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: Know, football, basketball, baseball, and so with basketball seasons and

665
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: we I coached the local ur grade school, Saint Margaret's

666

Speaker 2: and so so we made it to the final and

667
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: we played a team Christ King, right, and they're mighty right.

Speaker 2: They're undefeated going in the first game they beat us

669

Speaker 2: bike twenty five. The second game it was like eight

670
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: and a halftime, and then they blew us out in

671
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: the second half.

672
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 3: We lost by twenty three.

675
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 2: so you know, we're on practicing and I think I

676
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: threw two extra practices in one of the kids right

677
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: coupless those kids. They put me and Mike the guy

678

Speaker 2: coach with Kevin who played baseball at Duke and got drafted.

679
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: Really good baseball play, really good basketball guy. The two

680
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: of us were sitting there and you know, we're really

685
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 4: Oh that's amazing.

686
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,880

Speaker 2: their I'm gonna send you the video to see the

689
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,080

00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 5: It was.

691
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: It was awesome. They were freaking out and it was, uh,

692
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: it was. It was a lot of fun. It was.

693
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: It was the what youth sports supposed to be.

694
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 2: And the coach, uh for the other team, for chrisy

695
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: kick with like what a gentleman, like just a beautiful

696
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: They're a terrific team. His son is a really good

697
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: ball player and it's a great shooter. So I had

698
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: my I had Masaa, my son at the top of

699
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,520

Speaker 2: The kid's names will do not leave, will open all right,

702
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: Like if you have to not slide the other side,

703
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: just you could stay up top. And but you got

704
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: and you can hedge, but you got to make sure

705
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: you get your you can recover quick enough, get a

706
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 2: hand in his face. And so like we played inspets

707
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: to attach it to home and the coach is such

708
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 2: a gentleman afterwards, like you know, if we had to lose,

709
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: it was great to lose to your kids, and you

710
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: know it.

Speaker 2: So we're going to do that Thursday.

718
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 4: That's amazing. And look the also, especially at the age

719
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 4: that they're all at right now, it's kind of a

720
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: cool learning lesson for both sides. Like you never want

721
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: a team to lose if you're if you're proud of it,

722
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 4: but you know, kicking the snot out of a team

723
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 4: a couple of times and then getting beat is a

724
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 4: valuable you know, every game is a new games sort

725
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 4: of learning experience. It's one there's a moment there where

726
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: your guys learn, hey, the past results do not equal

727
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: you know, future results sort of thing. And past performance,

728
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: you know, the past performance does not mean future whatever.

729
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: Those stockbrokers performers, and then you know, for it's the

730
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: same for the team that felt like they probably walked

731
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: on the court thinking, man, we've already kicked them out twice.

732
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 4: We're gonna be just fine. So you have a cool

733
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 4: learning opportunity for everybody you know in that process that's

734
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 4: at that age. Particularly.

735
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, uh, you're right, you're right. It's a

777
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. All right, FITZI, let's begin the journey.

778
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 2: We said, we talked about Hurts and the Eagles as

779
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: a potential model for you know, like everybody wants, you know,

780
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: all the.

781
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 3: Burrows and Mahomes and Allen.

782
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we talked about Hurts and how great

783
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 2: of a season he had, what he does. So let's

784
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 2: begin with the Super Bowl champs in Philadelphia. So when

785
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: you look at them, you know that they're gonna lose.

786
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: It's about uh, it's about keeping your own how he

787
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: told me, maintenance. I told him last week and they

788
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: could still do something, but right now, it's about maintenance.

789
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 2: They signed Barkley to a big deal, which helps make

790
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: them a destination. You know, you go in and it

791
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: was a reward as much as anything else. Plus he

792
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: gives him some cat relief for this year. And then

793
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: they get Zach Bond in the fault, which was really smart.

794
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: He was a linchpin to their defense. He did so

795
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: much in Fanzio's defense and it was a great fit. Now,

796
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: the only question they're gonna lose Josh Sweat, They're gonna

797
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna lose Milton Williams. The only question is do

798
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: they keep Mackai Beckton a right guard or does beck

799
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: didn get any big offer. I know he wants to stay,

800
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: but I mean, who knows if we'll get another He

801
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: could go a big offer to go out and kick

802
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: out and play tackle.

803
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: The only thing I'd say with mackay and I think

804
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 4: we need to factor some of this in with everybody else,

805
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 4: Like with the Sam Darnel conversation, Man McKay has been

806
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 4: a bust and not He's obviously not, but he's been

807
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 4: perceived as a bust. I think sometimes when players finally

808
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 4: find a spot where man it makes sense and it

809
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 4: comes together and you're valued. The number of guys that

810
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 4: I talk to that even currently play that will tell

811
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 4: you that getting into a situation where you feel like

812
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: you actually valued and your talents are appreciated and you're

813
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 4: well taken care of, Like I don't know, you can

814
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 4: put a price that guy. I think McKay is going

815
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 4: to be really interesting because his career has had so

816
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 4: many downs. To have the up that he had is

817
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 4: pretty significant. So, you know, I think it's it's harder

818
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 4: than some people think to pry guys like that away

819
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 4: from a good situation.

820
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: You're right, and think about Bawn. I just discuss Bawn, right,

821
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: He's a that's a big deal.

822
00:42:59,040 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: He flew.

823
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: He was, you know, a kind of a journeyman type,

824
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: come from the New Orleans and you go to free agency.

825
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: And look, he became a star. He was great at

826
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: a super Bowl. By god, what a great story.

827
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 4: Well, and there is value. This is something that you know,

828
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 4: Max Crosby has said to me multiple times when we've talked,

829
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: like part of the reason that he will always feel

830
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: a loyalty to the Raiders isn't just because you know

831
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: he likes being a Raider. They took a shot on him.

832
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: And I think what we have to remember when things

833
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: go wrong in the league for a lot of guys,

834
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 4: like we look at guys and we always say, well,

835
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 4: that guy sucks, and it's never that simple. I mean,

836
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 4: if you got to the NFL, it's never as simple

837
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 4: as that guy sucks. So you know, there is some

838
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 4: value to Wow, this coaching staff not only took a

839
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: chance on me, they not only paid me something to

840
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: let me keep playing the game that I know I'm

841
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 4: great at, but they also knew how to get the

842
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 4: best out of me. And when you've seen a coaching

843
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 4: staff not do that, I just I just think there's

844
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 4: a lot of value if you're if you're a guy

845
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 4: like McKay and you're looking around, you're like, well, anyway

846
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 4: you want to look at it, I'm gonna get mine.

847
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 4: So now the question is is it comparable. That's why

848
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 4: I think the Sam Donald conversation is going to be

849
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 4: wildly interesting in a few days, because you know, unless

850
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 4: he's going somewhere where he really trust the coaching staff

851
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 4: to be able to get the best out of him, man,

852
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to really come in and overpay to

853
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 4: get him to walk out of Minnesota. I believe.

854
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious to see you're you're spot on, man,

855
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 2: And it's funny. I heard one of our promos with

856
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick and he was so spot on. It was

857
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 2: the span of eight days that completely cost him millions

858
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 2: of dollars. Like, you still want to get you know,

859
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: a good contract, but those eight days he got exposed.

860
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 2: He got exposed against the Lions in the last game

861
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: of the season, and he got exposed that Monday night

862
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: in Arizona against the ReBs.

863
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 4: And when you're talking about Sam Donald, I know we

864
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: haven't even gotten to Sam yet. But when you talk

865
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 4: about Sam, I think he's part of a lot of

866
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 4: these conversations. He's made sixty five million dollars according to

867
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 4: the World Wide Web in his career, so he's got,

868
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 4: you know, up yours money and then he can he

869
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 4: can keep it in forever. He has been perceived as

870
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 4: a bust and now he's been perceived as a very

871
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: good quarterback. For anyone that says, why would he go

872
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: back to Minnesota where he's gonna have to compete with JJ,

873
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 4: the only thing I'd say is that, you know, there

874
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 4: are a lot of variables with the Vikings. Right now,

875
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 4: JJ lost weight in the rehab portion of his injury.

876
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 4: They're having a struggle to get him to put it

877
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: back on. Like he didn't play last year. So even

878
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 4: though he got the mental reps, he didn't get the

879
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 4: real reps. There are a lot of ways that you

880
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 4: can look at it. If you're Sam and say, hey, man,

881
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 4: I got a real chance at continuing to start here.

882
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 4: So then it's like, well, would you rather battle for

883
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 4: that in Minnesota or would you rather go to just

884
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 4: a team right now that is devoid and talent all

885
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 4: over the place, like let's say the Giants. Where if

886
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 4: you fail, if because your offensive line sucks, whatever the

887
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: reason is, if the pieces around you make next year

888
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 4: to be a big step back, that's it. You're probably done,

889
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 4: you know. And so yeah, you might get a little

890
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 4: bit more money, but is it worth the fact that

891
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: it will change your entire career trajectory if it doesn't

892
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 4: go right and you're trusting a team that doesn't have

893
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 4: a ton of talent. I think these are real variables

894
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 4: that players consider when they're looking around. For some guys,

895
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: it's just as simple as who pays me the most.

896
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 4: I think there's more nuanced to guys that have been

897
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 4: perceived as busts, and now we're being perceived as guys

898
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 4: that are worth paying.

899
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're you're dead right, dead right, all right?

900
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: Just to finish the Eagles, so you kind of see

901
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: where they're at. They're gonna there have a lot of

902
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: guys down the road, right they're you know Howie Roseman's

903
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: a master at the cap, but they do. They have

904
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 2: a lot of guys down the road that they're gonna

905
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 2: take care of. Jalen Carter's gonna become the highest paid

906
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: defensive tackle linemen in football. There's a lot of heat

907
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: about Miles Garrett and could you wind up and fill

908
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: it out. I'll never say anything, never with him when

909
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: it comes to Howie and big, big name hunting.

910
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 3: But I I just don't say it. I just don't

911
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 3: think it.

912
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he's got enough to give him that

913
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: to give him that contract. And there's a lot of

914
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot of veteran guys out there that might

915
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 2: want to go ring chase like that, all of a

916
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: sudden ring chasing in Philadelphia, they were a destination.

917
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, And this is I would just I would beg

918
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: most when you have a GM as competent as how

919
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 4: he is, just stop worrying about what's going to happen

920
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 4: in three years because I've I've read plenty of this

921
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 4: offseason where it feels like people are ringing in the hands. Well,

922
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 4: they're going to have salary type issues. It's like I

923
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 4: again as a fan of a team that sucks. I

924
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 4: remember when things suddenly turned around for Derek Carr and

925
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: Khalil Mack and even Gabe Jackson, the offensive linoment at

926
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 4: the time, all in the same draft, and Raiders fans

927
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 4: spent years saying, oh my god. Once once all three

928
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 4: of them looked like they were going to be long

929
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 4: term starters, was like, wow, how are we ever going

930
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 4: to keep them? N Mari under contract at the same time,

931
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 4: and you got so worried about that you didn't even

932
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 4: appreciate the season that that was the one really good

933
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 4: season with all of those guys. So I just like,

934
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 4: stop bringing your hand. Yeah Howie, Like trust how he's

935
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 4: going to figure out the money portion of it? Also,

936
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: I do. There was something that was said yesterday on

937
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 4: ESPN that I thought was really smart by Mike Tannenbaum,

938
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 4: who I love the human being. I've worked with michae

939
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 4: a lot, and he was talking about the fact that

940
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 4: when you were in your window, that's when you use

941
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 4: your credit cards. Like when you are suddenly in a

942
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 4: we can win the super Bowl right now moment, worry

943
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 4: about the debt later. Just keep trying to win super Bowls.

944
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 4: And you know, I think there's a little bit of

945
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 4: that and don't do that when you're when you're the

946
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 4: Browns right now, Like, don't the Browns are stuck because,

947
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 4: like to keep on the credit card analogy, the Browns

948
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 4: are stuck because they're now robbing from Peter to pay Paul.

949
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 4: They're using credit card advances on one to get to

950
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 4: fund the other. Like they're in that like I'm broke

951
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 4: situation and that's hard to fix. If you're the Eagles, man, like,

952
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 4: you'll figure it out, push some money down the line.

953
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 4: And if you suck in five years for a couple

954
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 4: of years, that's okay because you could win a couple

955
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 4: of Super Bowls right now and that is always worth

956
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 4: the future debt to me.

957
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, great point, great point.

958
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 2: Uh, Washington, So what'd you think about debo to go

959
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: with scary Terry for Jaden?

960
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 4: I loved, I mean, I love that move. And I

961
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 4: think when you combine what Deebo does with what Terry

962
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 4: McLaurin does, it's just man, Washington's in a really good

963
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 4: situation because they've given themselves even more flexibility. And you know,

964
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 4: one of my pillars that I live on is the

965
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 4: minute you identify that you have your quarterback, especially on

966
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 4: the rookie deal situation, then you have a responsibility to

967
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 4: surround them with everything you possibly can to make sure

968
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 4: that that guy develops and to make sure you've got

969
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 4: your guy before you got to pay him. It's less

970
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 4: about trying like everybody else worries about got to win

971
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 4: on the quarterback salary, and I understand that. Again, I

972
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 4: disagree with part of the philosophy, but the more important

973
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 4: part of it is Jaden looks great, so now get

974
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 4: him to keep growing because I think year two in

975
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 4: year three are such huge moments for fifteen year careers

976
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 4: a quarterback that to me, going out and getting him debo,

977
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 4: this was a no brainer. It was an absolute no

978
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 4: brainer to me, and it gives them draft flexibility to

979
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,959
Speaker 4: continue to grow however they want to. In the draft.

980
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 4: They know this isn't a great wide receiver draft by

981
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 4: most estimations. There's maybe a couple of guys that go

982
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 4: in the first round. So you know, I love this

983
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 4: move for Washington, absolutely every ounce of it.

984
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's a great tight end draft.

985
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 4: Yes it is, Yes it is.

986
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: Zach Ertz Is thirty five had a great year for

987
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 2: him but they could use a weapon down the field

988
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: tight end.

989
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, I mean depending on how aggressive they

990
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 4: want to get. Tyler Warren, the kid out of Penn State,

991
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 4: seems to be everybody's favorite tight end reasonably so, like

992
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 4: he has incredible potential. And then I'm looking at Washington,

993
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 4: you know, thinking they're picking twenty nine. I don't think

994
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 4: Tyler Warren's going to fall that far.

995
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 3: But now it's deep. It's it is deep. It is deep.

996
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 4: And look out for Washington too. They could get kind

997
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 4: of depending on what happens they're picking at twenty nine

998
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: to get in the first round. You got to look

999
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 4: at it. If there is a free fall of Schadeur. Again,

1000
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 4: we don't know, but if there's a free fall for Shadur,

1001
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 4: these teams picking at the end of the first round,

1002
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 4: once you get to Baltimore, Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, Buffalo, Kansas City,

1003
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 4: and Philadelphia, none of those teams need a quarterback, so

1004
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 4: all of them become how bad do you want him?

1005
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 4: Do you want to trade up for? You know? So yeah,

1006
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 4: I think even Jackson Dark could get some of that

1007
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 4: that love too. So they have so much flexibility that

1008
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 4: comes from that move at I love where Washington's position.

1009
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 4: I'm really happy for Washington fans.

1010
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: Do they get which lineman are they going to get?

1011
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 3: Do they get Mac?

1012
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1013
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 4: I mean I'd still go after Khalil, wouldn't you? Yeah?

1014
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 4: I mean, And if you're if you're Mac, like, my god,

1015
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 4: you've spent so much of your career just on the

1016
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 4: fringe going to a team where man like that, because

1017
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 4: that's obviously getting after the quarterback is one of the

1018
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 4: big things Washington has to address. And you want to

1019
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 4: talk about mercenary, Like, if I'm Khalil Mack, I want

1020
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 4: to be a mercenary. So I think it's interesting Mac,

1021
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 4: because everybody wants to put Miles Garrett on the Eagles,

1022
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 4: as you already mentioned. I just Khalil Mack has already

1023
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 4: made more money than he knows what to do with.

1024
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 4: Is he interested enough in a ring that he decides

1025
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 4: he wants to be a guy that comes into mercenaries

1026
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 4: it at a place like Philly for a year.

1027
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because he's that guy. You know,

1028
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 2: I could see Garrett Winn Washington. Yeah, you know, I

1029
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: could see that completely. And then you know, and it's

1030
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 2: funny because you got Joey Bose out there too. Who

1031
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: is he going to get a big deal? And who

1032
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: may who's made a ton of money, who may just

1033
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: want to ring Chase. So he's an interesting guy too.

1034
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got to figure out how to stay healthy.

1035
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 4: Not that he can figure that out. We all know

1036
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 4: that it's not that simple. I shouldn't say that that way.

1037
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: But if he can't be on the field, you know,

1038
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 4: the best ability is availability. As always saying like that

1039
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 4: that's real for Joey, it is.

1040
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: But like you know, if if if I'm Howie and

1041
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 2: I get it, and I get it a favorable deal,

1042
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 2: I get a bargain with Joey, Yeah, I take the risk.

1043
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean I would.

1044
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Man, they're interesting because you you know you're gonna

1045
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: bring back. You got that coming back, you got receipt,

1046
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna do the whole thing again. Basically,

1047
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: they're a they're a conundrum because the core didn't win

1048
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 2: and now you're off of you know, now you're like

1049
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 2: three years late on it, and they're.

1050
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 4: Stuck in that weird position of you're so invested, you know,

1051
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 4: pot committed is right, they're so invested. I don't think

1052
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 4: that there's an easy workaround for any of this. I

1053
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 4: honestly think the Cowboys are sort of stuck and they

1054
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 4: got to figure out whether they want to rip this

1055
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 4: thing that they're in a house that's not quite worth demolishing,

1056
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 4: but it's definitely not worth saving. And so I don't

1057
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 4: know what you're do in that situation. Like, I still

1058
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 4: believe dak is a very good quarterback, and I believe

1059
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 4: they have obviously they have one of the best wide receivers.

1060
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to put Davante there this offseason, and you

1061
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 4: know that's interesting. At least they got to get They

1062
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 4: got to just get They got to get more. They

1063
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 4: got to get more all the way across the board.

1064
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 4: But how do you get more when you know you're

1065
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 4: in a situation where now you're rewarding all these contracts

1066
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 4: and you're paying people late. And it's just I think today,

1067
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 4: for all of the yelling and screaming about past contracts

1068
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 4: of the Cowboys, it gets felt today these are the

1069
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 4: moments where it's like, Man, if they had done some

1070
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 4: of these deals earlier, they wouldn't be in this weird

1071
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: purgatory that they're stuck in. So you know, this is

1072
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 4: the mess that Jerry made, and I don't think there's

1073
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 4: an easy way to clean it. I still think the

1074
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 4: Cowboys are more likely than not to be a good

1075
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: football team. They're just not gonna be a great football team.

1076
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 3: Now, they do have some money to spend, so you know.

1077
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're going to probably go to your U

1078
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: continue year and now through the house. You're gonna come

1079
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 2: in and you know you're you're gonna go, I key

1080
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: your kitchen right like you're gonna go. You're gonna try

1081
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: to do whatever you can to keep the house, you know,

1082
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: to spruce it up. You have so many holes that

1083
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 2: you need to try to fix all of them and

1084
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 2: hope it turns out beautiful.

1085
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 4: But how many times in that situation has somebody used

1086
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 4: the phrase, oh man, I know it leads a lot

1087
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 4: of work, but the bones are good, and like, okay,

1088
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 4: the bone, the bones can be good, the structure can

1089
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 4: be good, all of these things. I think the weird

1090
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 4: part about the Cowboys. I'll go back to what you

1091
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 4: where you started our conversation about football an hour ago.

1092
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: The bones of a team are the offensive and defensive line. Yeah,

1093
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: so what do you do when you're in this house

1094
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 4: and it's like the foundation's cracked and we might have

1095
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 4: to pick the whole house up and figure out how

1096
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 4: to put in a new foundation under it. But boy,

1097
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 4: the pretty stuff all looks good. You know, the windows

1098
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 4: are nice. You know, the kitchen's real nice. You know,

1099
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 4: it's like, okay, but the house might fall into the

1100
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 4: sinkhole at any point. But boy, the kitchen is fancy,

1101
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 4: and like, I feel like that's the cowboys. They've got

1102
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 4: fancy pieces. But man, do any of us really trust

1103
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 4: the foundation?

1104
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 5: No?

1105
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 3: No, nah, no, you're right. And then I'll bring us

1106
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 3: to the Giants.

1107
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 2: The first that is test sperate for a quarterback. Right now,

1108
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 2: it's just Tommy Cutlets on the roster as your quarterback.

1109
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: The Giants who have been linked to everyone, Stafford Gino,

1110
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: They're linked to every quarterback.

1111
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 3: They are quarterback desperate.

1112
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. And by the way, now, because they haven't properly

1113
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 4: addressed it for a long time, they need to address it.

1114
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 4: And that's okay. The hard part about it is I

1115
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 4: don't think that they It's back to are you going

1116
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 4: to draft desperate or are you going to draft the

1117
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 4: player that you actually need? Depending on what happens, there

1118
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 4: because I mean I could see Gino on the board,

1119
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 4: or Gino, I could see Chadur on the board. Yeah,

1120
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 4: you know, are you gonna draft desperate on Shador? You know?

1121
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 4: Or are you going to oversign somebody? And the hardest

1122
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 4: part of all of this is they have a GM

1123
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 4: and a coach that need to win. Now. How do

1124
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 4: you win now with a developmental quarterback at you don't?

1125
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 4: So then how do you win now? If you enter

1126
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 4: the free agency sweepstakes? And then you got to look

1127
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 4: at it and say, there are very limited options that

1128
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 4: make you drastically better now. So you know, do I

1129
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 4: expect the Giants to overpay veteran quarterback? Yeah, but they

1130
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 4: have no choice. Do I think that's gonna make them

1131
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 4: better than the third best team in their own division? No,

1132
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 4: which is why I think it would have been stupid

1133
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 4: for Stafford to go there in the first place.

1134
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, And to me, they're clearly fourth, clearly.

1135
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1136
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 2: So so if I'm the Giants, why am I gonna

1137
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 2: go overpay for Sam Darnold? Like it's a shame because

1138
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: I know you have a star at the receiver, right, Like,

1139
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the kid is the kids just the player

1140
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: and you made some strides on bove lines, but you're

1141
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: not finished yet. And that's why you're You're still a

1142
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 2: year away from from, you know, any kind of to me,

1143
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 2: being competitive in your division. So you've got to spend

1144
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: this year not spent to your point, not using the

1145
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 2: credit card.

1146
00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 4: And the hardest part about that is you've got a

1147
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 4: coach in a GM that aren't gonna want to take

1148
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: the time. I mean, because if they win three games

1149
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 4: this year, if they win five games this year, are

1150
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 4: they are they keeping their job? So it's just it's

1151
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 4: clearly the fourth best roster. It's like this to me

1152
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 4: feels as obvious a year ago. Right now I was

1153
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,959
Speaker 4: sitting here saying, oh my god, how do you draft

1154
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 4: Kayleb Williams and keep Matt Eberflus when it just means

1155
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 4: you're going to be firing eb Reflus and Kayleb Williams

1156
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 4: is gonna have a new coach in year two, which

1157
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 4: is exactly what happened. Like you can see it coming

1158
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 4: from a mile away. I just don't see a scenario

1159
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 4: where the Giants aren't the fourth best team in the

1160
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: division with a new head coach and a new GM

1161
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 4: in a year and to me, if you're gonna go

1162
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 4: there anyway, just accelerate the whole thing. Get there. If

1163
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna get there, get there now.

1164
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 3: You're so spot on, man.

1165
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 2: This is what I never understand from owners. You got

1166
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 2: these brilliant guys that you understand do you you understand

1167
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 2: human nature? If I'm fighting for my job, I have

1168
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: to be all in now. So I need to commit

1169
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 2: to the coach of the court and the GM and say, yo, guys,

1170
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: here's my assurance. You guys go three and thirty three

1171
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: and fourteen. You're still got You still have a job

1172
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 2: next year. I don't care. Barring the dumbest, most ridiculously

1173
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: stupid moves you got or a poor performance, you got

1174
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: a job. So do me a favor. And this is

1175
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: what we need to focus on the health and future

1176
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: of the franchise. And I'll extend you in case you're

1177
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 2: a lame duck guy, right Like you're extended. So there's

1178
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: no that this is it. You gotta look and be patient.

1179
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 2: Why don't they do that?

1180
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1181
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 4: I don't know now, like, yeah, either get rid of cleanhouse.

1182
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 4: Like most of these people are rich because they were

1183
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 4: successful in business. I don't know why they don't use

1184
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 4: the same mindset for their football team that they use

1185
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 4: for business. I truly don't know.

1186
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Like they hedge, you hedge it.

1187
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: It's here that they don't want to pay them, right,

1188
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 2: they hate paying having guys on the payroll, or or

1189
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 2: they want to hedge You can't, like you, you put

1190
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: your you put your franchise in limbo that way, because

1191
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 2: you're right, it's human nature to for guys to save

1192
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 2: their jobs, Like that's what you want to do. You

1193
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 2: gotta figure out a way so you're gonna do stuff

1194
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: that's not right for the future of the franchise.

1195
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 4: We see it coming. I don't know why they don't.

1196
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 2: I know it'spcially the Giants after what they did. I

1197
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,919
Speaker 2: mean it played out on the hard knocks. Geez, they're

1212
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Now let's go to the North. How do you think

1213
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 2: the Lions are going to fare?

1214
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 3: This year?

1215
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: Started out with so much promise, right like they were

1216
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 2: the darlings of the league. They looked great, and then

1217
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 2: all the injuries started to pile up and mounts, and

1218
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 2: you know, then came Washington that fateful Saturday night and

1219
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: they lose Ben Johnson finally, So there's gonna be something.

1220
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be different. How do you recover from this season?

1221
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't like they underachieved, It was all external

1222
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 2: with the injuries.

1223
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 4: I think that makes it easier in some ways to

1224
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 4: recover from it because you can look at it and say,

1225
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 4: you know what, this wasn't on us. This was on

1226
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 4: just the way that the injury bug bit this year.

1227
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 4: So you can the Lions are in the spot where

1228
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 4: kind of like the Bills, while you can tweak things,

1229
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 4: you're basically just going to keep running it back every year,

1230
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 4: hoping for a different result, hoping that this is the

1231
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 4: year you stay healthy and maybe somebody else is bit

1232
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 4: by the injury bug so that they could deal with

1233
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 4: what you deal dealt with. You know, I think at

1234
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 4: some point, if you're the Lions, all you can do

1235
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 4: is just, you know, you just look around and say, hey,

1236
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 4: we're going to run it back because we know we

1237
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 4: had a super Bowl caliber football team last year. Now,

1238
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 4: I do think the coordinator issue is a big one,

1239
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 4: you know, because we I don't want to take for granted.

1240
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 4: You've seen it in Philadelphia, right Like, at some point

1241
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 4: you got to look around and realize that every time

1242
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 4: a coach has to swing at hiring coordinators, there's a

1243
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 4: chance they miss. So you'd love to think that the

1244
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 4: Lions don't even skip a beat. But when you have

1245
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 4: new coordinators on both sides of the ball, that sometimes

1246
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 4: can work out okay, and sometimes that can be a

1247
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 4: hell of a learning curve. So I think that's the

1248
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 4: interesting thing facing the Lions this year. But from a

1249
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 4: roster standpoint, they're in, to use Howie's word from earlier,

1250
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 4: they're in maintenance mode for a while, Like they're just

1251
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 4: gonna keep drafting well because that's what they do, and

1252
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 4: then figuring out how to resign their own because that's

1253
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 4: what they're gonna have to do. And they keep trying

1254
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 4: to run it back for Super Bowls.

1255
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 2: Now, not that you're gonna do anything here, but do

1256
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 2: you have any guys off worries?

1257
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 4: I don't. I mean, I think golf has given you

1258
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 4: everything you could possibly ask.

1259
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 3: For most of the time, right and even if you

1260
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 3: time you saw he was pretty bad.

1261
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a couple of real stinkers last year,

1262
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 4: a couple of big like oh my god, what the

1263
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 4: hell happened in game? And wash? Yeah if Sam Bradford,

1264
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 4: Sam Bradford, if Sam, but yeah, if Sam Donald, I

1265
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 4: love how I'm putting Bradford back. If Sam Darnold had

1266
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 4: that same five interception game, people would have been losing

1267
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 4: their mind. But for golf, they're like, oh, it's fine,

1268
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 4: he'll be fine. I do think. I mean he's only thirty, right,

1269
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 4: Like if you're the Lions, you're looking around, you're like, yeah,

1270
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 4: bad game, bad moment. Yeah, put it behind him.

1271
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm with you, you know, like and I prefaced everything,

1272
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 2: but by saying not that you're going to do anything,

1273
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what it is. But there's still

1274
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 2: got to be like a right dude, like you know,

1275
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: I need you now, all right. I can't have that game,

1276
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 2: can't have that game in January. And it's a shame.

1277
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: The ultimate shame for them is again it's the health.

1278
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: They were a great team, they really were. They had

1279
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 2: the best offense and football They're O line is if

1280
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 2: it's probably number two to the Eagles, and it's certainly

1281
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: in THEFC, probably probably in all football. And you know,

1282
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 2: the running games about Gibbs. You know, as much as

1283
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: I love Barkley Gibbs is the is just a crown

1284
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 2: jewel at back because he's so fast, he runs an

1285
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 2: amazing rounde He's just a great, great player.

1286
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think one thing that's really been key

1287
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 4: for the Lions is they've lived in a bubble. They

1288
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 4: don't listen to any of the noise. They have a

1289
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 4: better sense of who they are and what they're doing,

1290
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 4: and they have since the day that they brought in Gamble.

1291
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 4: So I trust they'll be fine moving forward. It's just

1292
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 4: they got to figure out how to get through this

1293
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,439
Speaker 4: injury bug issue somehow. Like right now, the only person

1294
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 4: that I think should be really worried about their job

1295
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 4: is the trading staff because they're gonna have to start

1296
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 4: looking internally and figuring out what happened. Maybe it's freakier,

1297
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 4: but as you know, sometimes the injury bug results and

1298
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 4: change behind the scenes, you know. So I'm sure they're

1299
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 4: analyzing where it came from and figuring out how.

1300
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 2: To stop it all right now, speaking to Bed Johnson,

1301
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 2: let's go right to the bears, all right, because you know,

1302
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 2: you know what the mission is.

1303
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 3: It's it's to save Caleb, right, that's the mission.

1304
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 4: I don't think. I mean, their first couple of steps

1305
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 4: speak to the fact that they understand the only way

1306
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 4: they're going to save the habits is by getting a

1307
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 4: better offensive line in front of him.

1308
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

1309
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 4: And I think that's you know, it's just smart moves

1310
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 4: by them so far.

1311
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 3: Yep.

1312
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 4: It's certainly kind of like the quarterback. I think they're

1313
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 4: getting some some bridge gap options, but it's better than

1314
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 4: putting your quarterback out there and continuing to put him

1315
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 4: in a situation where you feel like he has to

1316
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 4: hold the ball on too long and too much, just

1317
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 4: a little bit what they did in Carolina, although the

1318
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 4: difficulties for Bryce were far different. But Bryce was struggling

1319
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 4: with the offensive line that was in front of him.

1320
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 4: So what did Carolina do in his second year? They

1321
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 4: went out and invested a bunch of money and trying

1322
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 4: to bring in some veteran guys on the offensive line

1323
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 4: to just calm some of that pre snap stuff down

1324
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 4: and get Bryce to play a little more efficiently, which worked, right.

1325
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 4: So I think this is a smart, smart offseason so

1326
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 4: far by the Bears, who got the home run higher

1327
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:31,560
Speaker 4: of a coach. And I'm sure that if you're a

1328
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 4: Bears fan, you're looking at that saying Ben Johnson will

1329
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 4: fix all, but you can't fix all un till you

1330
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 4: fix that offensive line.

1331
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.

1332
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 2: Uh, Minnesota, we look this fascinating year, right because we

1333
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 2: talked about the whole quarterback situation and JJ now taking over.

1334
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 3: I mean you got to be excited.

1335
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you still come back with a

1336
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 2: really good team, a really good defense. I think you

1337
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: tighted it up a little bit in the back end,

1338
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 2: and I think you're ready to go. There's still They're

1339
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 2: a good team, they have great weapons, they're built well,

1340
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: they're well coached.

1341
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 4: I mean, they're absolutely in a super Bowl window right now.

1342
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 4: I do think that it would make a ton of

1343
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 4: sense for them to add if they if they can't

1344
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 4: bring Darnold back, then I think they need to add

1345
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 4: somebody to give themselves a bit of an insurance plan.

1346
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:31,879
Speaker 4: Let's remember that again. JJ is rehabbing from the injuries,

1347
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 4: lost a lot of weight in that process. He's trying

1348
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 4: to put the weight back on, Like, these are all

1349
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 4: key things he didn't he didn't get any on field reps,

1350
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 4: So still going to be a learning curve for what

1351
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 4: is still essentially a rookie quarterback. Right Like, he's going

1352
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 4: to make mistakes, so they're going to have to insulate

1353
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 4: him a little bit, which I think they're capable of doing,

1354
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 4: but just in case, you know, he needs a little

1355
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 4: bit more time or he's not quite ready. If I

1356
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 4: was the Vikings, knowing that I'm in a super Bowl

1357
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 4: window right now, I'm still trying to aggressively make sure

1358
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 4: I have a back cup option that I really like.

1359
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree, But I like

1360
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 2: them North again, is gonna be a great division. Yeah,

1361
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 2: I mean the East is really good at the top, right,

1362
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 2: the Eagles in Washington are gonna be a fun those two,

1363
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 2: but then there's the drop off Dallas and then the

1364
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 2: Giants are bed the north. Green Bay's back. I mean,

1365
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 2: you know, again, if you're a Green Bay, I do

1366
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: think you got to help out Love. You still you

1367
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 2: they have a lot of guys, a lot of receivers.

1368
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 2: You know, you've got a couple tight ends. I think

1369
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 2: those guys got to stay healthy. If that was a

1370
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: difference in the playoffs. Now, they weren't going to beat

1371
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 2: the Eagles, but they had no weapons. By the end

1372
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 2: of it, they were really banged up.

1373
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's why I think everybody has been putting

1374
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 4: all sorts of DK you know, into the university. They're

1375
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 4: just gonna have to get more help. To your point,

1376
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 4: for Jordan Love and again, if they don't love somebody

1377
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 4: in the draft, that means being aggressive. The good news

1378
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,759
Speaker 4: for them is, at least from a brand name recognition standpoint,

1379
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 4: there are a ton of wide receivers out there. There's

1380
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 4: a ton of options for him, so you know, they

1381
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 4: have the opportunity to get him exactly what he needs.

1382
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 4: But they're going I agree with you, they need to

1383
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 4: get him some help. For sure.

1384
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 3: They have a bunch of two's, you know. Yeah, no,

1385
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 3: that's you're right, but that division is really good, really good.

1386
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue these this trip around the league

1387
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 2: and kind of see what they need, see what teams

1388
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 2: looking for, a kind of going over their state. As

Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you love it.

1408
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 2: And you know at nighttime when you go it's not

1409
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 2: dark early, all of a sudden seven o'clock and the

1410
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: lights it's to light out, like six thirty quarter to seven.

1411
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: You know, we got baseball starting, so we've been uh

1412
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: late last week. Last Saturday, we had a double header exhibition.

1413
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 2: It was murder the wind. It's been freezing, right, I

1414
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 2: don't know up there. I'm sure it's sick. We can

1415
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 2: say freezing, all right, you got it even worse, and

1416
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 2: it was just it was nasty, man like forty two

1417
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 2: degrees would wind that baseball's miserable.

1418
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 3: Forty two degrees of wind.

1419
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's no doubt. And usually you know, I'm

1420
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 4: I'm good with cold weather. It doesn't bother me. I'm

1421
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 4: good at handling it in general. This is the first

1422
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 4: time I can really remember since I started spending so

1423
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 4: much time up at Connecticut that I have ever been like, yep,

1424
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 4: I'm just sort of done with it. Like every time

1425
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 4: I go outside now, it's not even that it's that cold.

1426
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 4: It's just cold enough to piss me off. Like every

1427
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 4: you just walk outside and like yep, I got to

1428
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 4: start the car early just to go to the gym.

1429
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 4: Like it's just man, it's just cold enough to annoy

1430
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 4: every ounce of your being. So you know, it's it's

1431
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 4: I'm ready for this all to sort of go away.

1432
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 3: I used to love this show to wire. You have

1433
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 3: to watch you watch the water.

1434
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 2: So the greatest line ever is nobody remembers a forty

1435
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 2: degree day, Like forty degree days are the worst, and

1436
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 2: that's what you got.

1437
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 4: Now, God, that is so true that this is this

1438
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 4: is the just suffer through it, like I don't mind,

1439
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 4: like Christmas time, you have the holidays, so it's great.

1440
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 4: January February, I'm so obsessed with football, I don't really

1441
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 4: pay attention to it. It is this time where we're like,

1442
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 4: you know, in my mind, March madness is associated with

1443
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 4: like spring is starting and there's a full in New England,

1444
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 4: there's a full month after you know, like, well you

1445
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 4: got to get to mid April before you can even

1446
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 4: have any hope that you're actually going to start warming up.

1447
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 4: It's definitely mid April, so it's setting in now that

1448
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 4: like I don't. I don't need a groundhog to tell

1449
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 4: me I still got six weeks left of this junk

1450
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 4: to get through.

1451
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I feel you, brother, I do.

1452
01:14:57,479 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: That's the one thing like I'm thinking about, all right,

1453
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: your baseball, the whole thing.

1454
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 3: But we're still we're still a few weeks away from

1455
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 3: that stuff. So we're turning the clocks forward. It's light,

1456
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 3: you know.

1457
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking outside my house on my window now my

1458
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 2: office and it's light. You know, usually it's dark, right,

1459
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 2: So we've we've hit that piece where we can actually

1460
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,799
Speaker 2: see the warm weather, but we still.

1461
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,600
Speaker 3: Got like that last hurdle. It's like, oh my, I

1462
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 3: do it. I completely feel you.

1463
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, And the only thing I remind people in

1464
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,560
Speaker 4: New England all the time, because everybody complains about the

1465
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 4: cold up here, and I get it. But like like

1466
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 4: I said, I got you know, the next six weeks

1467
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 4: are gonna kind of agitate me. To me, there's just

1468
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 4: nothing worse than seven o'clock in the morning and you

1469
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 4: walk outside in the middle of summer in the South

1470
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you have buck crack sweat,

1471
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 4: like the minute you walk out, like you haven't even

1472
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 4: done anything. All you did was open the front door

1473
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 4: to walk out and get the mail. It doesn't matter

1474
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 4: like you're going out your walking the dog. You haven't

1475
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 4: even gotten that far. You've want one step out the door,

1476
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you're like, yep, I need

1477
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 4: a shower again. Like humidity and heat together, I cannot stand.

1478
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 3: So you know, and what's your what's your favorite?

1479
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 4: Like?

1480
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,759
Speaker 2: Were you because I don't mind listen. I mean, nobody

1481
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 2: loves oppressive heat, but I'd rather have that than be freezing.

1482
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 4: No, see, I'd rather be cold. Like I can layer up.

1483
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 4: I can layer up, like I can put on extra

1484
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 4: you know, three shirts and a hoodie and at least

1485
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 4: get through it. I can't strip off enough to get

1486
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 4: comfortable when it's that hot. So, like, which is weird

1487
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 4: for a kid to grow up in Vegas and then

1488
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 4: live there?

1489
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, help with those oven summers.

1490
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 4: Man. Man, there's just something about one hundred and fifteen

1491
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 4: degrees that you're like, oh god, just it's just I

1492
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 4: hate it. And then then you get to like the

1493
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 4: ninety degrees and eighty percent humidity. I hate that too.

1494
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 4: So I'm actually I like, I kind of think it's

1495
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 4: a hot take, but I think that the New England

1496
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 4: weather for me kind of wins, like I can I

1497
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 4: can handle the two months of junkie cold. I can

1498
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 4: just bundle up for that, and the rest of the

1499
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 4: year is beautiful. The rest of the year is like

1500
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 4: spring and fall are are crisp in New England, which

1501
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 4: I enjoyed, Like I'm a hoodie guy all year round. Yeah,

1502
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 4: And summer is absolutely like I love it up here

1503
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 4: in Connecticut where people are like, I hate the humidity.

1504
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 4: I'm like, have you never been south of the Mason

1505
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:23,400

1510
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 3: Play air. The air is like paste. You're breathing and paste.

1511
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 6: Oh.

01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 4: I love the way you said, like the number of

1513
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 4: times you know, playing the country music You're playing all

1514
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 4: over the South and particularly and in very humid places

1515
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 4: in the summer because that's where you know, you make

1516
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 4: most of money. There's something about like Louisiana humidity that

1517
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 4: just hits to like your skin bubbles the minute you

1518
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 4: walk outside, and it's like it's a combination of sweat

1519
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 4: and heat all just like yeah, falling into your pores.

1520
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 4: It's like living in a sauna that you can't get

1521
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 4: out of. It's just whoa, it's too much. It's too

01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 2: Will you let loose during the tournament?

1530
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 4: No? No, no, no, no, the tournament, I'll eat grilled

1533
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna be that kind of. It's gonna be that

1534
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 4: kind of instead of a tournament. I want to look

1535
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 4: in for the draft. The draft is my next target.

1536
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:53,360

1549
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 2: night last night for the Nuggets. As jokicic the joker

1550
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,799
Speaker 2: with the league's first thirty twenty twenty game.

1551
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 3: I still can't get over that game, are you kiddefy?

1552
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 4: Like how often does somebody do something that's just never

1553
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 4: been done in the history of the sports, you know

1554
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 4: what I mean? Like God, Like, it's it is insane

1555
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 4: to think about the fact that he's won all these

1556
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 4: m vps and he's having it even better year this year.

1557
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 4: And I know, fatigue is fatigue, and you know that

1558
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 4: that changes the way we viewed certain players. But man,

1559
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 4: we can't normalize what we're seeing from Yokich. We have

1560
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 4: to stop consistently and say, hey, this is this different,

1561
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 4: you know, And the fact that he loves being out

1562
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 4: of the spotlight, and he plays in a market that

1563
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 4: I think, you know, frankly allows him to be out

1564
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 4: of the spotlight. It's great for him personally that, you know,

1565
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 4: he can just go back and live on the farm

1566
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 4: of the offseason and it's awesome. There's there are times

1567
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 4: like last night that I look at it and say, man,

1568
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 4: I wish he played on a bigger brand at times,

1569
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 4: just because I think there'd be more appreciation. It feels

1570
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 4: like as much as Jokich gets some love, you know,

1571
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 4: the whether it's the Dadbod jokes or whether it's just

1572
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 4: you know, the Denver jokes, it's just I wish we

1573
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,600
Speaker 4: appreciated it a little bit more because it's this is

1574
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 4: true epic, the way he plays in what we're seeing.

1575
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 3: Dude. Yes, yeah, you're right, You're so right. I mean,

1576
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 3: you think about him and.

1577
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 2: Every big like his you think about his size, Like

1578
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: he played forty five minutes last night.

1579
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 3: He in forty five minutes, he goes thirteen of twenty two.

1580
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:29,879
Speaker 2: Three threes, twenty one rebounds, twenty two assists and three steals,

1581
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 2: thirty one points ol Dickens twenty two assists from a

1582
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 2: big like I know, the offense goes throw him, So

1583
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 2: I get it, but twenty two assists a twenty one boards,

1584
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's.

1585
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 4: Wild, especially when the whole world has had time to

1586
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 4: and continues to try to figure out how to stop him. Yeah,

1587
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, it's just that every team is coming in

1588
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 4: with a we're gonna row everything that we have Yokic,

1589
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 4: and it just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. And

1590
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's breathtaking because there's not any one

1591
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 4: thing that you can look at and say, hey, this

1592
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 4: is his weakness, Like there isn't a weakness to get

1593
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 4: this game like it's and there isn't any one person

1594
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 4: that can match up to everything that he does.

1595
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 3: People talking about on the ball defense, but I mean,

1596
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 3: will okay, come on.

1597
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 4: Modern MBA, there like that that we can agree on that, Like,

1598
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 4: that's just exactly modern ball defense is not on ball

1599
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 4: defense is not going to be the thing that really changes. Yeah,

1600
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 4: but man, I look at it and I don't know

1601
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 4: where the appropriate because I hate, you know, goat conversations

1602
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 4: in general. I think all of it is so you know,

1603
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 4: it's just so tired. But unfortunately, I wish we could

1604
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 4: stop so much of the hyperbole on that because there

1605
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,680
Speaker 4: there is a real conversation about when have we ever

1606
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 4: seen somebody do these things? And I don't know what

1607
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 4: the right context is for that, because you know, just

1608
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 4: like I constantly say, there has to be a line

1609
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 4: other than suck, Like players aren't either All Star or suck.

1610
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 4: They're somewhere in the middle for this, Like, I don't

1611
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 4: know how to best appreciate Jokic in a way that

1612
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 4: brings him credit without turning it into he's the greatest

1613
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 4: dis or the time. But I do think that you

1614
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 4: have to just step back and say, hey, guys, like

1615
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 4: we're seeing one of the most memorable players we will

1616
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 4: ever see in NBA history.

1617
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know. And he's still reminds me of Bird,

1618
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 3: just as the way he sees the floor.

1619
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that Celtic City on HBO coming up that's

1620
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 2: I think debuted last night or whatever, and it's all

1621
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 2: about Boston and Celtics and the whole thing, and.

1622
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 3: It's I'm looking forward to. I'm a basketball fan.

1623
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 2: I hate the Celtics, but you know, as a basketball fan,

1624
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm dying to say it. I will say this the

1625
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 2: West as much as I railed in the league, this year.

1626
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 2: The West is interest me because with Luca now that works.

1627
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 4: It was amazing to me.

1628
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 2: People saying that Lebron and Luca wouldn't work. If Lebron

1629
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 2: and Kyrie could get you in the finals, why wouldn't

1630
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if Luca and Kyrie get you in the finals,

1631
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 2: why wouldn't Lebroni and Luca work. That made no sense

1632
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 2: to me. They're legit steps reborn now with Jimmy Butler.

1633
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't see that. I was wrong about that,

1634
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 4: by the way, I'll say that loudly.

1635
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 2: I was.

1636
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 4: I didn't think that would be this dynamic and good

1637
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 4: for them. I mean it's just yeah, good for them.

1638
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 2: And okay, see, is just nasty man. There's the deepest

1639
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 2: team maybe ever. Like they sit everybody last night and

1640
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 2: they still win by twenty eight, like they sat. I

1641
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 2: know it's Portland, but still they set everybody.

1642
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 4: And the funny thing is the only argument that people

1643
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 4: can ever make for okay see, when it comes to like,

1644
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 4: well what's going to happen in the playoffs, everybody says, well,

1645
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 4: they're young.

1646
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 3: They're young.

1647
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's got to they're not battle tested enough.

1648
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 4: I don't know your depth point I think is an

1649
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 4: important one because they're doing it a little bit different.

1650
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 4: They got a lot of depth, and they still have

1651
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 4: one of the best players in the world, right so

1652
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 4: it's a hell of a combination to have. But for

1653
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 4: all of that, you know, in basketball matchup world, I

1654
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 4: keep watching the Lakers, and I know it's become this

1655
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 4: hot topic for everybody because Barkley and Steven a going

1656
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 4: back and forth. But I think there's a very what

1657
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 4: you can't do is shut either end of that conversation

1658
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 4: off just because you're tired of Lakers talk. So, like,

1659
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say that the world should

1660
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 4: probably pay more attention to Oklahoma City. I also think

1661
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 4: it's fair to say that right now, despite the fact

1662
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 4: that everybody's been paying attention to the Lakers uselessly for

1663
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 4: the last couple of years, you can't tell me that

1664
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 4: this Lakers team, as it's currently constructed, in the way

1665
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 4: they're playing in a seven game series, can't beat anybody. So, like,

1666
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 4: it's this is a pretty wild time in the West

1667
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 4: to figure out what it's going to mean in the playoffs.

1668
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, it's interesting. Hey, And the last

1669
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: thing before we get back to football, and the fact

1670
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 2: that you have a quarterback. Rejoice, Raider fans, you have

1671
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:20,959
Speaker 2: a quarterback. So no beer during the tournament.

1672
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, no beer during the tournament. Now I'm not have

1673
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 4: a Guinness zero. Again, A zero is very good. It's

1674
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 4: not an alcoholic gainness tastes just like Guinness. Nobody knows

1675
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 4: the difference.

1676
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 2: But I was gonna it's funny, I was gonna bring

1677
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 2: get us up to you because Guinness is lower calorie

1678
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 2: and it's very low in alcohol.

1679
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 4: Yeah times I think I honestly don't know, but it

1680
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 4: is low in calories. Again is zero. I've actually poured

1681
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 4: some of my friends again at zero would and not

1682
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 4: told them it was a zero, and they had no

1683
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 4: idea until after they drafted a couple, you know, So

1684
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 4: it truly get A zero tastes about saying you just

1685
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 4: can't find it as readily, and and I want to

1686
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 4: be like, I want to be in box. I'm gonna

1687
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 4: take a quick second here on the NCAA tournament, and

1688
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to absolutely spend a second destroying sports books

1689
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 4: that are charging out the wazoo for tables all over

1690
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 4: the place. I've heard this really, Yeah, No, it's like

1691
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 4: I looked at so Mohegan's Son is the big casino

1692
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 4: in Connecticut. Mohegan Son in Foxwoods are two of the

1693
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 4: largest casinos in the country in America, and oftentimes when

1694
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 4: people come to visit, I'm like, hey, I'll take you

1695
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 4: up to Mohegan. We used to play it all the

1696
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 4: time when I was with the band, and people are like, nah,

1697
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 4: I don't want to go to a random casino, and

1698
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 4: then they walk in and they realize that it is

1699
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 4: every bit what a Las Vegas resort is. Mohegan and

1700
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 4: Foxwoods are both beautiful casinos. But I looked yesterday and

1701
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 4: at a four top table during NCAA tournament in the

1702
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 4: sports book is eight hundred dollars bare minimum, Like it's

1703
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 4: an eight hundred dollars spend to evening what And I

1704
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 4: look at that and I'm like, to me, that is

1705
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 4: so short sighted in all of it. Like, I guess

1706
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 4: they're going to fill them. I've got friends that you

1707
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,200
Speaker 4: go to all the different sports books in Vegas for

1708
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 4: the incident for the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament,

1709
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 4: hearing the same thing that you know, everybody's charging just

1710
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 4: an arm and a leg for these premium seats, and

1711
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 4: that doesn't even for Ohegan. Your eight hundred dollars spend,

1712
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 4: three hundred of it is then a beverage credit for you.

1713
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 4: So it's only a five hundred dollars spend, but you

1714
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 4: still got to buy food and all that stuff. It's

1715
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 4: not like a minimum. It's not one of those words

1716
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 4: by a minimum. It's a eight hundred dollars for these

1717
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 4: seats will give you a little bit of back towards

1718
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 4: the beverages, but you still got to buy all your

1719
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 4: food and everything for the day. Like I just I

1720
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 4: think that's so short sighted by the places like that,

1721
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 4: Like the tournament is such a crazy, incredible vibe and

1722
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 4: you've got such a a captive audience to it. To me,

1723
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 4: you know, up the price of your food and your

1724
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 4: drinks and you know require a minimum spend. I'm totally

1725
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 4: good with that, Like require, hey, you want a table,

1726
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 4: you guys, the table has to spend at least this

1727
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 4: amount of money. I got no problem with that. Making

1728
01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 4: me buy the table to then make me buy the food,

1729
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 4: to then make me buy most of the drinks. Like

1730
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 4: that's just that's a violation. So I'm mad at the

1731
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 4: sports books that are currently charging all of this for this.

1732
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 3: You're gonna you're gonna bet the games with them?

1733
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I had. I had a group of

1734
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 4: about fifteen people that were ready to go to Mohegan

1735
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 4: to watch the games in the sports book, and I

1736
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 4: was like, well, let me just see how it works.

1737
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 4: And you can't even you can't even get in without

1738
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 4: a reservation. And to make the reservation, like I said,

1739
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 4: a four top eight hundred bucks. If you wanted the

1740
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 4: four top VIP, which included more benefits, it got as

1741
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 4: expensive as I think six thousand dollars and I'm like what,

1742
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 4: So my my entire group of buddies was like, now

1743
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 4: we'll just go to Buffalo Wilings instead and we'll bet

1744
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 4: in the app. So, you know, I think sports books

1745
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 4: right now are a little confused on how easy it

1746
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 4: is to just pull out my phone and do this

1747
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 4: in most places, So big miss for everybody.

1748
01:29:54,720 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, dude, that's crazy, Yeah, that's crazy.

1749
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 2: I didn't know that the eight hundred dollars just to

1750
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 2: sit down, that's unbelievable. You're right, you go, you go

1751
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 2: to just go to a pub and watch the game

1752
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 2: of the bar. You got your phone, what do you

1753
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 2: need what do you need the sportsbook for?

1754
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally think that's what everybody right now. And and

1755
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 4: you know, I was talking to somebody a couple of

1756
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,799
Speaker 4: days ago about Vegas in general, and Vegas is struggling currently,

1757
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 4: and you know, Vegas is pricing themselves out of a

1758
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 4: lot of things. They Yeah, And the funny thing is

1759
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 4: that's the opposite. You know, if you ever watch Kitchen Nightmares,

1760
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 4: like Gordon Ramsey goes around to restaurants that a failing,

1761
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 4: and one thing that is always interesting to me is

1762
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 4: inevitably every restaurant that's failing that he's visiting, suddenly they're

1763
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 4: using canned ingredients that are you know, their quality goes

1764
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,640
Speaker 4: way down. And Gordon always says, yeah, you're trying to

1765
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 4: save dollars, but you're driving away with the clientele you

1766
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 4: could have. And I think the same things happening to Vegas,

1767
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 4: like as gambling becomes more and more, Like I said,

1768
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 4: I can go to a casino forty five minutes from

1769
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 4: my house and it's every bit as nice as the

1770
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 4: casinos in Vegas. I can bet on my phone. So

1771
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 4: if you want me to come into town for you know,

1772
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:19,600
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament instead of pricing me out of it,

1773
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 4: because the sports books in Vegas are just astronomical prices

1774
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 4: to get four seat tables. If you want me to

1775
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,679
Speaker 4: come into the town, then do the opposite, Like that's

1776
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 4: the Vegas I grew up on, was free hotel rooms

1777
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 4: and you know, twelve dollars buffets and all of these things,

1778
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 4: and all right, it was because they knew once they

1779
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 4: got you there, they were going to get your money.

1780
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 4: So I'm I think it's disappointing that, you know, the

1781
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 4: Vegas sportsbooks have priced themselves to a spot where I

1782
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:48,600
Speaker 4: know people all over the country that usually fly to

1783
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 4: Vegas for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament and

1784
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 4: they're just literally not doing it this year because it's

1785
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 4: no longer cost effective. And I think Vegas has forgotten

1786
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 4: that I can again sit in the local bar here

1787
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,759
Speaker 4: with my buddies and we can just pull out our phones.

1788
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 4: We can build the barlays, we can bet on the

1789
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 4: funt we can we can communally bet, we can do

1790
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 4: all of the things that you're usually doing where it's

1791
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:09,479
Speaker 4: like everybody pick a play and we'll put it together.

1792
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 4: You can do all that from your phone now. In

1793
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 4: most states. So you know, to me, in Vegas wants

1794
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 4: to continue to thrive somehow or start to thrive again,

1795
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 4: they got to do the opposite. They've got to be incentivizing, like,

1796
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,800
Speaker 4: you know, unless you're the sports book at Circle, which

1797
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 4: is such a cool experience. The rest of them, Yeah,

1798
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 4: but the rest of them are replicable almost anybody anywhere.

1799
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I dude, the stadium swim is ridiculous, that'd sir.

1800
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, stadium swim is amazing.

1801
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really cool. But no, man, I'm with you.

1802
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 2: And these sports books that especially aren't in Vegas that

1803
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 2: charge to sit like what are you nuts? Why you

1804
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 2: don't have to do that? Just go to any bar

1805
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 2: and get better food and and you're right, you just

1806
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 2: take your phone out.

1807
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 4: Let's endnoughts. And for you know, Thanksgiving, I went to

1808
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 4: the sports book at Fox was the other casino and

1809
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 4: had a blast because I was able just to sit

1810
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 4: down and watch the games and bet on the games

1811
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 4: there and it was awesome. Like it, sports books are

1812
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 4: a great experience to watch games, especially on big games

1813
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 4: and fun big groups. It's a great experience. You should

1814
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 4: just be pricing people into it, you know, or like again,

1815
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,759
Speaker 4: if they if the same sports book experience for anyone

1816
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 4: that loves them. You know, if they came in and said, hey,

1817
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:35,560
Speaker 4: if you want a four top for the day, the

1818
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 4: minimum your foretop has to spend is eight hundred dollars. Okay, right,

1819
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 4: I understand. I understand minimums, and I understand why they exist.

1820
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 4: I have no problem with that. If you come in

1821
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 4: and say, all right, guys, for the fore top you

1822
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,599
Speaker 4: need eight hundred dollars and then you have to buy

1823
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 4: your food and the majority of your alcohol on top

1824
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 4: of it, that's just gouging at that point, and that's

1825
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 4: keeping people away.

1826
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially when you know, like you said, it's

1827
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 2: so pervasive too, like if you want to bet the games,

1828
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,560
Speaker 2: you just go thrown your phone like I don't need you.

1829
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 3: That's crazy, that's crazy, that's a low. That's wild.

1830
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 2: So the big story we started to show with was

1831
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 2: the Raiders have a quarterback? My man over here, number

1832
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 2: one Raider fan? How does it feel to have a quarterback?

1833
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 2: Now It's funny because people go, well, you know, Smith,

1834
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 2: what are you getting excited for? But I love the

1835
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 2: way you explained it to start to show.

1836
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think having flexibility and Raiders fans were

1837
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 4: in my mentioned last night freaking out in a negative way.

1838
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, I can't believe we're gonna pay Geno,

1839
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 4: and I just look around at some point and say, okay,

1840
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 4: first and foremost, if your team has the salary cap space,

1841
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:51,920
Speaker 4: which the Raiders do, and you're looking at this free

1842
01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 4: agent market, realizing is I think most teams are right

1843
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 4: now that there's not that many people that are worth

1844
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 4: breaking the bank over. You're now going to be using

1845
01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 4: that money instead to reinvest in your own roster. I

1846
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 4: think we're gonna see a lot of that next week.

1847
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 4: We're going to be reminded quickly that some of these

1848
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 4: free agents are just This isn't necessarily the strongest free

1849
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 4: agent class. So you're looking around and saying, well, I

1850
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 4: got the money to spend, I got the cap space

1851
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 4: for it. I'm going to do a deal with this

1852
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,639
Speaker 4: quarterback that will allow me the time to figure out

1853
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 4: what I'm actually gonna do for the next ten years

1854
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 4: at the position. Even if the Raiders give a three year,

1855
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 4: four year deal extension to Gino, I'd say to everybody,

1856
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 4: number one, look at the total money and look at

1857
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 4: how it's split out. Before you freak out about the

1858
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 4: amount per year. But number two, all right, so you

1859
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 4: buy yourself time and now you can address quarterback this

1860
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,760
Speaker 4: year if you want, you can address quarterback next year.

1861
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:43,799
Speaker 4: I don't think we can stress enough that the Falcons

1862
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 4: changed the business model last year. Investing one hundred million

1863
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 4: dollars in Kirk Cousins as a backup plan and then

1864
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 4: going in and getting Michael Pennix like that at the

1865
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 4: time was something we all looked at and said, well,

1866
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 4: that's stupid. And now we're looking around saying, okay, you

1867
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 4: know what, First and foremost, Arthur Blank, the owner of

1868
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 4: the Falcons, can afford one hundred million dollars who cares. Secondly,

1869
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 4: look at the quarterback position instead of just looking at

1870
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 4: how much they're paying one person, looking how much they're

1871
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 4: paying the position. Overall. You factor the rookie deal with

1872
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 4: the big free agent deal, it's still just a moderate position.

1873
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 4: Will spend. That's part two, and then part three, it's

1874
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 4: the most important position in sports, So fine as somebody.

1875
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 4: And then I don't care how you find somebody, Like

1876
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 4: if the Vikings bring back Stam Darnold and he has

1877
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 4: a killer year somehow, and JJ stays on the bench

1878
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 4: and they wasted that pick. Who cares get yourself a quarterback,

1879
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 4: That's what. And so if Gino gives you the opportunity

1880
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:38,680
Speaker 4: to see just how good he can be. You know,

1881
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:42,760
Speaker 4: he's obviously had success with Pete Carroll. I think Pete

1882
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 4: Carroll deserves so much benefit of the doubt when it

1883
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:47,160
Speaker 4: comes to the quarterback position because he found Russ and

1884
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 4: he realized Gino wasn't washed. So if he thinks Gino

1885
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:52,360
Speaker 4: still got gas in the tank, I respect it. And

1886
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 4: the flexibility of being able to go best player available

1887
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 4: in the draft is massive.

1888
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 2: It is like we talk about you don't to start

1889
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 2: the show about you know, Warded Sanders and the lukewarm

1890
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 2: and then Dart who's rising and shocked. Like the people

1891
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 2: talk about the quarterbacks, they go, you know you were you,

1892
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,880
Speaker 2: we heard you were hurt. Everybody to combine everybody the

1893
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:23,679
Speaker 2: same reaction so not have to go into the draft.

1894
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 2: Yet I agree with you. I think it's a smart move.

1895
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean, what if if you're the Raiders you had

1896
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 4: the what if right now your choice was Shador Sanders

1897
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 4: and whatever you can muster up in free agency or

1898
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 4: Gino and Ashtrion genty and you take a quarterback in

1899
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 4: the second or third round that you're going to develop

1900
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 4: long time. To me, that's a better that's just a

1901
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 4: better overall solution for your offense.

1902
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 3: By the way, Checky's gonna be a star.

1903
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 4: I love him.

1904
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 2: I love that kid. That kid is Jack. Kid's real,

1905

1909

Speaker 2: We charge eighteen dollars of beer. God, do you remember

1910
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 2: like they used to be, Like you get a giant

1911
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:21,960
Speaker 2: ivy kid like twenty four hours higheykin draft for a dollar.

1912
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then after you've had a couple of those,

1913
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 4: you walk out on the casino floor and you lose

1914
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars at the craps table. Like that's right.

1915
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:34,040

1938
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 4: Can I just laugh at that for one second? A

1939
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 4: few years ago, I was talking to one of my

1940
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 4: one of the younger people that was working on one

1941
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 4: of the shows I was on at the time, and

1942
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 4: he said, Man, I just wish that there was a

1943
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 4: guide they would take all of my streaming services and

1944
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 4: put them together and then show me what's on all

1945
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 4: of them at once. And I was like, you're describing

1946
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 4: cable like you are literally describing cable. So it's funny

1947
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,560
Speaker 4: that the more that the world becomes unplugged, which is

1948
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 4: the inevitability, it's like, well, now we have all these apps,

1949
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 4: we listen everything on. It's like, well, you can pre

1950
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 4: set it. We're describing radio, but you know, hey, let's

1951
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 4: not call it radio because nobody wants to call things

1952
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 4: radio anymore. But like, hey, you know, it's it's just

1953
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:32,639
Speaker 4: funny that, you know, as things become old, they become new. Dude.

1954
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 2: I had this same conversation with fast channels, right, so

1955
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 2: people don't know fast channels are like Roku. When you

1956
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 2: buy your Samsung TV, they're hooked up to the internet, right,

1957
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 2: and you get all these channels and they're called fast channels,

1958
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 2: and it's the newest thing, right. People love it, right

1959
01:40:56,120 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 2: because you know you don't have the cable. But they go, well,

1960
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 2: well what do we do with the fast channels? All

1961
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 2: my network is on fast channels, and I go, yeah,

1962
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:18,839
Speaker 2: this is just like the uh RSNS. So like Denver Dallas, Philly,

1963
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 2: d C, San Francisco, right, Chicago. All the big markets

1964
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:28,599
Speaker 2: had rsns, your regional sports networks, And it's the same thing,

1965
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 2: except it's odd. It's digital. It's not using towers, and

1966
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 2: in radio it's not it's not using towers. But it's

1967
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 2: just like radio just an app. It's digital radio thing.

1968
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 4: And I think one of the cool things now in

1969
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 4: consumption and media is that if you're a Raiders fan,

1970
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 4: you can listen to Radar Nation Radio wherever you go,

1971
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 4: wherever you are. That didn't exist, you know when we

1972
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 4: were growing up, and you're if you're a seventy six

1973
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,720
Speaker 4: ers fan, you can get content from anywhere. And that's

1974
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 4: one really cool, powerful things about it that I just think.

1975
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:04,720
Speaker 3: You don't want to be a seventy six ers fan.

1976
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that that is sorry if you're an Eagles fan,

1977
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 4: just trying to figure out how to wait until the

1978
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 4: next Eagles season. But like, there's so much power in

1979
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 4: the fact that you can get so much content. It's

1980
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 4: just it becomes harder and harder to organize it. And

1981
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 4: like the number of times now when somebody says, have

1982
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 4: you seen this show? The first question we have to

1983
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 4: ask is like, well, what service is it on?

1984
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:27,680
Speaker 6: Right?

1985
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1986
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And by the.

1987
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 4: Time I actually log onto anything, like I forget, which

1988
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:34,800
Speaker 4: is oh yeah there was that show? Was that on

1989
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 4: Apple Plus or Amazon Prime or Netflix? Like it's it's

1990
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 4: just wild that we're all having to separate to go

1991
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:45,719
Speaker 4: to different places to literally watch and listen and consume everything.

1992
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 4: And I still am a believer that at some point

1993
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 4: it's going to be all centralized again. As much as

1994
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 4: people think that's crez like y, it's it's going to

1995
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 4: be by the time you end up paying whatever in

1996
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 4: a few years, it's like, well, I'm paying fifty bucks

1997
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 4: for ESPN and I'm in, you know, thirty bucks for Netflix,

1998
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 4: give me one. Somebody's gonna come in and the services together,

1999
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 4: and then we're gonna be like, oh, this is it's

2000
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 4: this new thing called cobble. It's c b l E,

2001
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:14,799
Speaker 4: It's cobblay.

2002
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 3: It's fabulous coble.

2003
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 4: I love it.

2004
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 3: But it's the truth, you know, So nuts like ESPN Plus.

2005
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 2: All right, well, you're basically giving me the NBA ticket

2006
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 2: or the NHL ticket.

2007
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, that's what it is.

2008
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. And when I was great, when I was at

2009
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 4: when I was at ESPN though, there were shows on

2010
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 4: Plus like Popular the the some of the top ranked

2011
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:52,639
Speaker 4: shows that were only getting a few thousand views a day,

2012
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 4: and it's just crazy, Like you know, part of what

2013
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 4: this is all about, too, is just like filling libraries.

2014
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 4: So's kind of like, kind of like when you log

2015
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 4: onto Netflix, there's gonna be a thousand things you can watch. Well,

2016
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 4: nine hundred and eighty of those thousand things suck and

2017
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:10,280
Speaker 4: nobody wants to watch them, but they got to have

2018
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 4: a bunch of options for you, so they throw them

2019
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 4: all out there, so you know, it's just it's, yeah,

2020
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 4: it's interesting to me because.

2021
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 2: Well, the two greatest advances I think you'll agree are,

2022
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 2: like you said, you're a Raider fan, so you can

2023
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 2: watch it anywhere, right, So you could consume any sort

2024
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:31,000
Speaker 2: of news anywhere, So I could watch and I love this.

2025
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 2: I I've been on a on a hockey kick. I'm

2026
01:44:34,880 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 2: trying to figure out, like after football, I needed to

2027
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:42,759
Speaker 2: dive into something, so I always watch NBA or college basketball.

2028
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 2: But I'm also a hockey fan, so I've been the

2029
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 2: league's fun. Like I love watching the Avalanche Vegas, right,

2030
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:53,160
Speaker 2: They're just fun teams to watch.

2031
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:55,840
Speaker 3: So I had to the Plus and I go in

2032
01:44:55,960 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 3: and I watch a lot of those those games. I

2033
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 3: love it. It's great.

2034
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 2: You can watch anything and any time, and all demand

2035
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 2: is the other thing, the all demand portion of it

2036
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 2: is the greatest, the fact that I could just go

2037
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 2: watch shows whenever I want, Like you know, tonight, we'll

2038
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:18,839
Speaker 2: have a date night and cocktails and we'll watch our shows.

2039
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's such an incredible advancement. But it

2040
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 4: also changes so much of the water cooler conversation. That's

2041
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 4: such a I miss. I miss you know, like whatever

2042
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 4: NBC on Thursday nights, or like the fact that Friday

2043
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 4: whatever happened on Friends. Yeah, Like you know, I love

2044
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 4: the fact that White Lotus comes out on Sunday nights

2045
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,760
Speaker 4: because then, like it's still a conversation piece, you know.

2046
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 4: But certainly I miss some.

2047
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,760
Speaker 2: Of the I still like the show, the shows. I mean,

2048
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 2: the formula, I get the formula, but the show's good show.

2049
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 3: I like the show. I like the Exotic, I love

2050
01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 3: Sicily and I like this year. Uh, I like it.

2051
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 4: It's it's okay, it's taking a second of ramp up,

2052
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 4: like you know, like all of these things. That's why

2053
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 4: I will constantly credit any TV show that just calls

2054
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 4: it like. The fact is, Succession could have had three

2055
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 4: more seasons if they wanted to just bleed that thing dry.

2056
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 4: The fact that they found a perfect way to just

2057
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:18,599
Speaker 4: end it. I respect that so much.

2058
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:20,720
Speaker 2: When it shows a question to you a little on

2059
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:23,920
Speaker 2: the bone, do you get it's funny you say that,

2060
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 2: I get sad because I get close.

2061
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 3: I love the characters.

2062
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 2: I love TV right, I love I mean, I love

2063
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 2: serial content where you get to know the character and

2064
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 2: part of me. When the show like Succession ends, as

2065
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 2: much as all those characters really were, you reviled them,

2066
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 2: you like them right like you still they were a

2067
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 2: master at making you like the anti hero.

2068
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 3: So I get depressed when the show ends.

2069
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and by the way, making you love the

2070
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 4: anti heroes like HBO one oh one, and they do

2071
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,599
Speaker 4: it so brilliantly on so many of their shows. Yeah,

2072
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 4: of course, But to your point, yes, So this is

2073
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 4: a quirk for me. Succession. I got caught into and

2074
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:15,560
Speaker 4: I binged it, like I just I was late to

2075
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 4: the party, and I ended up watching all whatever three

2076
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 4: or four season how many there were. I watched all

2077
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 4: all of the seasons in the matter of like a week,

2078
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 4: and I just I couldn't get enough of it. It

2079
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:28,640
Speaker 4: was great on the whole. When shows invest years of

2080
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 4: my life like this is a quirk for me. You're

2081
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 4: not going to be pleased when I say this. I

2082
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 4: never seen the last season The Sopranos. I knew it

2083
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 4: was the last season. I didn't want to watch how

2084
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 4: it ended. I knew it would disappoint me. I know

2085
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 4: how it ends. Obviously, culturally we all found that out.

2086
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 4: Never watched the last season. Like The Americans was one

2087
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 4: of my favorite TV shows of all time. Never watched

2088
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 4: the last season, no idea how. Wow. Really, there's a

2089
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:53,320
Speaker 4: part of me that's like, I don't want the TV

2090
01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 4: writers that like, I think shows end so poorly so

2091
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 4: often that most of the time, I'm like, I don't

2092
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 4: want you to butcher the ending, because that's what I'm

2093
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 4: going to think of forever, is that I hated the

2094
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 4: way you ended the show. So more often than not,

2095
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,759
Speaker 4: I have no idea how these shows ended. Wow.

2096
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a weird work.

2097
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 4: It's a weird quirk. I didn't have me the last

2098
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:14,759
Speaker 4: season of The Americans.

2099
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:20,640
Speaker 3: That's crazy. You invest all that time and you you

2100
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 3: skew the ending.

2101
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 4: There's a moment where it's like I don't trust I

2102
01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 4: just don't trust the writers. I've heard the Americans. I

2103
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:31,240
Speaker 4: don't know how it ended. I heard the last season

2104
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:35,800
Speaker 4: was actually like part of me, what I want to

2105
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 4: do is go back, and because now it's been years

2106
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 4: since I watched it, I would love to go back

2107
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:43,680
Speaker 4: and just rewatch the whole the whole show, you know,

2108
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:46,599
Speaker 4: in a binge fashion, and then maybe see how it ends.

2109
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 4: But I don't know. Like, so, there was this weird

2110
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:52,519
Speaker 4: wrestling show on Stars called Heels that I got hooked

2111
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:54,640
Speaker 4: into when I was sick a few weeks ago, and

2112
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 4: I watched the whole first season of Heels and I

2113
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 4: had no idea that it didn't get picked up for

2114
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 4: another season. I had no idea, And it ended like

2115
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 4: I'm not going to for anyone that's ever going to

2116
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 4: watch it. It was one of the most staggering, like

2117
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:10,639
Speaker 4: cliffhanger sort of endings you could ever imagine in that situation.

2118
01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 4: And then I was like, I google win is season two?

2119
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, the show was abruptly canceled. I like that

2120
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 4: was a kick. I wouldn't have started the show if

2121
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 4: I knew that it was abruptly canceled because now I

2122
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 4: have no idea that so, like, I don't like to

2123
01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 4: be blindsided by weird endings. I'm very I'm very particular

2124
01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 4: on this. It's weird. It's quirk.

2125
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that there's nothing worse than you when you

2126
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 2: get into a show and then they cancel it. So

2127
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 2: like I've that sucks, like especially a drama, Like you're

2128
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,400
Speaker 2: investing into a drama and.

2129
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 3: It's it's no mo your life, what the hell you know? No, No,

2130
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 3: I feel you, I feel you.

2131
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 2: All right, we gotta take quick t We'll come back

2132
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:58,760
Speaker 2: and uh, I want to get back to well, I

2133
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 2: mean you think about it Land. I want you to

2134
01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 2: think about Atlanta. We love Panics. What's the future of Cousins?

2135
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 2: What should be the future? Like which is so wild.

2136
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 2: We're thinking about these quarterbacks, the Donald Cousins, you know,

2137
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 2: go to Pittsburgh with you know, you look at that

2138
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:25,719
Speaker 2: state right, you go, all right, well, who's the quarterback there?

2139
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 2: The Giants? Like these teams that have no quarterbacks.

2140
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:32,759
Speaker 3: It's wild.

2141
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:37,560
Speaker 2: Jason Fits Anthony Gargana Where the Fellas right here on Fox.

2142
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 3: Sports Fellas.

2143
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz, Anthony Garganta from the Tyraq dot com studios.

2144
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 3: Hey, so let me ask you, what do you do?

2145
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 3: Like if you're like, what do you do with the cousins?

2146
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 4: Well, the funny thing is you got to pay for

2147
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:05,680
Speaker 4: him either way, right right, So, knowing that you're going

2148
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 4: to be paying the bill either way, the question becomes

2149
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 4: do you help the player out and let him go

2150
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,519
Speaker 4: somewhere else where he can try to compete right away,

2151
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 4: or do you leave yourself an insurance blanket? And if

2152
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here as Falcons management and looking around, I

2153
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,960
Speaker 4: still want that security banket, you know. And I'll be

2154
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 4: consistent here because a year ago, right now, I kept

2155
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 4: telling you that I thought that, you know, as good

2156
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 4: as Jordan Love looked at times, we need to see more.

2157
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 4: Like you can't make a sweeping generalization on quarterback based

2158
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 4: on five or six good games. I don't think that

2159
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 4: that's a safe thing to do. So even with Pennix playing,

2160
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 4: I think pretty well at the end of the year,

2161
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 4: I still want to give myself a safety blanket in

2162
01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 4: case there's a step back. I love having the idea

2163
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 4: of a backup that I know that can come in

2164
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 4: and execute. And I love having an adult in the

2165
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 4: room that can really be a guiding force to whatever

2166
01:51:56,640 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 4: whatever that quarterback room looks like. So I, frankly, I

2167
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 4: know that Kirk Cousins wants to go somewhere else and play.

2168
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:05,120
Speaker 4: But if I got to pay the bill either way,

2169
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 4: he's not leaving my locker room. I'm just keeping him.

2170
01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 4: There's whether it's about salary cap or reel cash. Either way,

2171
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:15,560
Speaker 4: this is Arthur Blank's check to right right now, So

2172
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 4: I keep him.

2173
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. I hear you.

2174
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Unless you can leverage something great. And I again, if

2175
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 2: you're somebody, if you're a team that's starved, I mean,

2176
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:33,439
Speaker 2: how much you're going to like what kind of capital

2177
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 2: are you going to give up?

2178
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:34,640
Speaker 6: Ye?

2179
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:39,719
Speaker 2: Coming off with an Achilles like you can't gamble, there's

2180
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 2: a cap to where you can possibly give a compensation.

2181
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, coming off the Achilles thirty six years

2182
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 4: old to be thirty seven when the season starts. The

2183
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 4: good news is that and this is part of why

2184
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:55,720
Speaker 4: I think the Falcons are going to keep him too,

2185
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:58,519
Speaker 4: Like they haven't out after this year in the contract,

2186
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 4: so he's forty million dollars in cap space and then

2187
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 4: they can get rid of him after the year with

2188
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:05,640
Speaker 4: the thirty five million dollars dead cap hit, which I'm

2189
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,560
Speaker 4: sure they would spread over two years if they wanted to.

2190
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:10,960
Speaker 4: If you're the Falcons, not a lot of incentive. If

2191
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 4: you're another team, what's one year? Like this is a

2192
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:16,599
Speaker 4: little bit of the geno argument, like do you want

2193
01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:19,640
Speaker 4: to go get a quarterback and then you know, are

2194
01:53:19,640 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 4: you gonna have to change any of the money in

2195
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 4: Kirk's contractor you're just getting him for the one year

2196
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 4: and you're paying forty million bucks for Kirk Cousins. Like

2197
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 4: if he played particularly well last year and you know,

2198
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:32,000
Speaker 4: Penics just beat him out, then sure, I'd been Kirk

2199
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,479
Speaker 4: Cousins over. There's limited options of it. If you're the Giants,

2200
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 4: you know it bring over Kirk Cousins and then also

2201
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 4: figure out how to draft a quarterback, like run it

2202
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 4: from two different angles. I think that's smart. But if

2203
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 4: you're at this point, he didn't play well and unless

2204
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 4: you believe that it's because it takes that much time

2205
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:51,439
Speaker 4: to come back from the Achilles, but your medical can't

2206
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 4: really make that judgment. Who knows?

2207
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:53,680
Speaker 1: You know?

2208
01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 3: So too much for a.

2209
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 4: Cap shoot for me, like I wouldn't give up assets

2210
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:58,920
Speaker 4: for him, and if I'm the Falcons, I wouldn't let

2211
01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:00,759
Speaker 4: him out the door because he's still the best insurance

2212
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 4: plan I can have.

2213
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing. You think about how lucky Tampa got.

2214
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 2: You see the Browns in hell right like, they leverage

2215
01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:16,879
Speaker 2: everything and it's a huge, colossal mistake with Deshaun Watson,

2216
01:54:18,120 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 2: and they have Baker. Baker leaves and Baker just blossoms.

2217
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:28,200
Speaker 2: So we're talking about the NFC South your Tampa you

2218
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 2: feel great about having Baker Mayfield.

2219
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:34,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, at this point, it's no longer the offensive coordinators

2220
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 4: that we should be giving the shine too. I think

2221
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 4: it's Baker. Baker's getting guys jobs, you know, Yeah, playing

2222
01:54:40,080 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 4: really well. So in that if you're Tampa Bay like,

2223
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 4: and that's the great hope that everybody's using, right, Like

2224
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 4: we had Gino a few years ago, and then we

2225
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:50,920
Speaker 4: have Baker, then you have Sam Darnold. Like, it feels

2226
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 4: like you can look at some of these guys that

2227
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 4: the league was ready to give up on and say, hey,

2228
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 4: in the right systems, with the right coaches, you can

2229
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 4: get some effectiveness out of them. And that's that's a

2230
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 4: that's everything. If you're Baker, it's everything, But if you're

2231
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:06,520
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay, it's everything too. Like it's it's just a

2232
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 4: reminder that sometimes the reason these guys take flyers is

2233
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:11,200
Speaker 4: because you have to go back to how they got

2234
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 4: in the league, what you saw when they got in

2235
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 4: the league, and then ask yourself, you know, whatever problems

2236
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,440
Speaker 4: they've had in the league, is that something that we

2237
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:20,240
Speaker 4: can work around schematically? And if you have the right coaches,

2238
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:21,920
Speaker 4: I think you can well.

2239
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:24,400
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny if that's why Justin Fields

2240
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 2: will still have a job, because you're hoping that Justin

2241
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 2: Fields figures it out a little bit as a thrower,

2242
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:37,240
Speaker 2: and you know, could could be could be salvaged.

2243
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:43,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And also, man, I still look at it and say,

2244
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:48,640
Speaker 4: I think Justin Fields has talent. I wonder if anybody

2245
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 4: has really been able to figure out the best way

2246
01:55:51,280 --> 01:55:53,440
Speaker 4: to utilize that. And I just think that happens more

2247
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:55,920
Speaker 4: and more and more. And you know, I keep screaming

2248
01:55:55,960 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 4: to people that say they don't want Sam Donald because

2249
01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:00,360
Speaker 4: of the way he looked the last couple of games.

2250
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:03,120
Speaker 4: You know, I keep screaming, well, he won fourteen games.

2251
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 4: And then if you say, well, it's a one year aberration.

2252
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:07,280
Speaker 4: I guess my question is, do you not believe that

2253
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 4: your coach is as good as Kevin O'Connell, Because Kevin

2254
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 4: O'Connell and that offense certainly figured out how to get

2255
01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 4: the most out of Sam Donald. So if you don't

2256
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 4: believe that you can with your favorite team, what you're

2257
01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 4: telling me is that you don't believe your coaching staff

2258
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:23,120
Speaker 4: is as good as the Vikings coaching staff because they've

2259
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 4: shown you that Sam Donald can play at a really

2260
01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 4: high level.

2261
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 2: Well, and then you look at it, right, if you're

2262
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers, why can't you be Why can't you run

2263
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:39,520
Speaker 2: an offense the way the Eagles run an offense and

2264
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 2: have and have run the same run fields like you

2265
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 2: would run Hurts.

2266
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 4: But that takes that takes a coach that's going to

2267
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 4: come in and say, you know what, I'm going to

2268
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 4: change what I do to match this player, which is

2269
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 4: what every coach should do. We talk about it all

2270
01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 4: the time, but I just don't think a lot of

2271
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 4: coaches walk in and say this is my system, this

2272
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 4: my offense, this is how I got here, and this

2273
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:05,640
Speaker 4: is the type of player I want for that system.

2274
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 4: I hate it. I hate that that there are so

2275
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 4: many coaches that way, but I think a lot of

2276
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 4: them fall victim to that coaching ego. Is everybody as

2277
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 4: bad as playing?

2278
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're right, because if you look at if

2279
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,880
Speaker 2: you're a look at Pittsburgh, if you ran the that

2280
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 2: offense would work in Steelers, right, if you you get

2281
01:57:22,120 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 2: Dobbins or whatever back, you're going to get, you shore

2282
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:29,040
Speaker 2: up that line, you're close. You play defense, and he's

2283
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:32,280
Speaker 2: a great athlete, and he's got such good arm like

2284
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 2: you could run that offense, and that offense worked.

2285
01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 3: Now, Jalen. I'm not saying that.

2286
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 2: It's easy to become Jalen Hurts, but my point is

2287
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:45,040
Speaker 2: he's got physical tools and they don't run all spread

2288
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:48,000
Speaker 2: and intricate down the field passing game.

2289
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 4: You just wonder if if it's being thought through the

2290
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 4: right way.

2291
01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:58,040

2303
01:58:40,120 --> 01:58:43,360
Speaker 2: Uh FITZI a couple things because Monday is such a

2304
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 2: big day when the final tampering period, well the tampering

2305
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:50,680
Speaker 2: period begins, uh, leading up to Wednesday start a free

2306
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 2: agency when you can.

2307
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 3: Actually sign deals.

2308
01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 2: So it's funny, it's all it's they're already start like

2309
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:03,080
Speaker 2: many you have combine with all those agents and everybody there.

2310
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 3: That's what everything happens. That's when everything gets to put

2311
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 3: in the motion.

2312
01:59:08,840 --> 01:59:11,200
Speaker 4: I was reading somebody the other day said the tampering

2313
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:14,600
Speaker 4: actually starts as much as six, seven and eight months

2314
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:17,840
Speaker 4: in advance, where little conversations happened that are not allowed

2315
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,960
Speaker 4: to happen, but at the combine, particularly because you know,

2316
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 4: I was talking to a great example. Joey Epstein is

2317
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 4: one of my co hosts Yahoo on one of our

2318
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:31,200
Speaker 4: football shows. She's an NFL insider. And when I say

2319
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 4: that Jory doesn't go out, I mean Jory doesn't go

2320
01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 4: out like you know, she doesn't drink, she doesn't party,

2321
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,920
Speaker 4: she doesn't go to bars at all, and so just

2322
01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 4: just not part of her life. Like she's never seen

2323
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,360
Speaker 4: any movie that I've ever referenced. She doesn't watch any TV.

2324
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 4: She reads, She absorbs football and she reads more. That's it.

2325
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:54,800
Speaker 4: And I was stunned, you know, when we were doing

2326
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:57,880
Speaker 4: our show last week and we at one point she said, sorry, guys,

2327
01:59:58,080 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 4: you know, we were out at the bars until fourth

2328
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:02,080
Speaker 4: third in the morning, and I was like, Jory, why

2329
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 4: would you possibly be out at a bar till four

2330
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:07,480
Speaker 4: thirty And she has somebody that literally only drinks water.

2331
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 4: She said, She's like, that's that's what you have to

2332
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,320
Speaker 4: do in Indy. You have to your sources are there

2333
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:15,560
Speaker 4: that people are comfortable talking to you at two thirty, three,

2334
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 4: thirty four in the morning at a bar. We have

2335
02:00:18,120 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 4: to remember that. That's what's happening for reporters. That's also

2336
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,760
Speaker 4: what's happening between agents and teams, Like they're out until

2337
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:27,000
Speaker 4: four in the morning, having some drinks and then saying

2338
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:31,000
Speaker 4: things they probably shouldn't and nobody's sitting there wire tapping

2339
02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 4: or using their phone to record it, so you can't

2340
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,480
Speaker 4: prove that they had any sort of conversation. But these

2341
02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:39,280
Speaker 4: contracts are intricate. So when inevitably eight minutes in we

2342
02:00:39,400 --> 02:00:41,640
Speaker 4: hear about contracts that are done, and just remember that

2343
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:44,840
Speaker 4: they were probably hammering out the final details in Indy.

2344
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's great, Like you go, hey, h

2345
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:55,000
Speaker 3: nugi are aging X? I love your plier?

2346
02:00:55,960 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 4: What do you figure?

2347
02:00:56,760 --> 02:00:59,480
Speaker 3: Here's what, here's what we got. This is my budget.

2348
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:04,000
Speaker 3: It's the best. Yeah, and it's so you know, so

2349
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:06,120
Speaker 3: and so said they're looking at so and so and

2350
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:08,840
Speaker 3: you know, looking at him. I love it. I like

2351
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 3: I missed it. I wasn't there to share. I love

2352
02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 3: that stuff I do.

2353
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:17,400
Speaker 2: It's it's great. It's great, you know, being out and

2354
02:01:18,200 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 2: all that shatter and all those rumor maga and all

2355
02:01:21,800 --> 02:01:24,560
Speaker 2: because everybody's everybody's got something to say.

2356
02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:26,720
Speaker 3: You hear so and so ask so and so, and

2357
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:28,120
Speaker 3: I heard what they're too.

2358
02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:31,560
Speaker 2: And it's great because everybody throw shade and everybody's trying

2359
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:35,880
Speaker 2: to angle, and everybody's lying, and the agents are the

2360
02:01:35,960 --> 02:01:37,040
Speaker 2: conduits of everything.

2361
02:01:37,240 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 3: It's pretty good stuff. Yeah, that's a that's its old show,

2362
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 3: you know.

2363
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:46,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it would be amazing to do a

2364
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 4: show where you're just literally sitting there letting every rumor

2365
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 4: go every every single thing. There's some of these some

2366
02:01:52,600 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 4: of these things that you start hearing in Indie and

2367
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:57,320
Speaker 4: you know, trying to figure out fact from fiction. I

2368
02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 4: don't know how insiders do it. It's it's something you know.

2369
02:01:59,720 --> 02:02:01,160
Speaker 4: Cheft he's been a friend of mine for a long

2370
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,000
Speaker 4: time and one of the most incredible things to me

2371
02:02:04,280 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 4: is that nine of the time, guys in those situations

2372
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 4: have to figure out when they're being used and when

2373
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:12,320
Speaker 4: there's something real. And that's just man, I don't I

2374
02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:14,880
Speaker 4: just don't know how you sort through the bs and

2375
02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 4: all of that.

2376
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know the agents for everything. Man, that's

2377
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:21,919
Speaker 2: because the GM's are going to use you. Why everybody's

2378
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:25,600
Speaker 2: using you to the agents, you're using you too. But yeah,

2379
02:02:25,720 --> 02:02:30,360
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's a lot. The thing that makes

2380
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:34,080
Speaker 2: it so difficult is you're just constantly on your phone.

2381
02:02:34,800 --> 02:02:37,280
Speaker 2: I was talking to WoDES the other day, woes is

2382
02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 2: now the GM. I'd say, bonta vetch or basketball and

2383
02:02:42,080 --> 02:02:45,440
Speaker 2: he's like, dude, I don't miss it. But he did

2384
02:02:45,480 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 2: an event at Teppall. It was a joint NIL event

2385
02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 2: with with Kevin Na Gandhi and it was like, you know,

2386
02:02:55,680 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 2: be in locked your phone eighteen hours a day is rough. Hey,

2387
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:05,000
Speaker 2: you got the deadlines and then you all your hits.

2388
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:09,760
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's listen, it's it's tough, like you

2389
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 2: gotta be you gotta work it, man, you know, you

2390
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:15,120
Speaker 2: really do.

2391
02:03:16,120 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 4: And look how we had Woge on air at one

2392
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:22,560
Speaker 4: point and in the middle of talking on air, he

2393
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 4: just had to walk out of the studio live because

2394
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 4: he was getting a call from the Lakers he had

2395
02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:31,320
Speaker 4: to take. And I've seen the intensity with which Woge works.

2396
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:36,480
Speaker 4: And I don't think people understand how taxing being an

2397
02:03:36,680 --> 02:03:41,520
Speaker 4: insider truly is. Like I mean, certainly they made, you know,

2398
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:43,960
Speaker 4: generational wealth, doing it for the for the best of

2399
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:47,400
Speaker 4: the best, so they're they're well compensated. But you genuinely

2400
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 4: don't have a life. You don't have time to do anything.

2401
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 4: You're always on your phone. There's always a story breaking.

2402
02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:56,040
Speaker 4: And when you think about the marathon length of the

2403
02:03:56,120 --> 02:04:00,120
Speaker 4: season for woj, you know it's for the NBA, And

2404
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:02,400
Speaker 4: then you think about the fact that for Schefty, the

2405
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 4: season never stops, like football never stopped.

2406
02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 3: Over stops.

2407
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:10,200
Speaker 4: It's just, you know, it's kind of alarming, And there

2408
02:04:10,240 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 4: have been times that you know, we've had I've had

2409
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 4: Schefty on air and then afterwards you find out that

2410
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 4: he was on vacation with his family in Hawaii, and

2411
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,440
Speaker 4: it's like, doesn't matter, news broke, and it's just it

2412
02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 4: is a grind. And to think that actually, fundraising for

2413
02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:28,040
Speaker 4: Saint Bonaventure's and trying to build a basketball program there

2414
02:04:28,040 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 4: as a GM is less of a grind than what

2415
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:33,840
Speaker 4: he was doing. Like, it's crazy, it's crazy.

2416
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

2417
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 2: Mike caren Fulla from the NFL Network is a We're

2418
02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:43,280
Speaker 2: dear friend. His sister is married to my cousin. He

2419
02:04:43,480 --> 02:04:46,440
Speaker 2: was my producer way back in the day when I

2420
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:52,640
Speaker 2: left newspapers went the radio and Mike, he's like, dude,

2421
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:56,720
Speaker 2: he goes. My wife is constantly yelling at me, like

2422
02:04:56,800 --> 02:04:59,840
Speaker 2: we're at you know, he's got two girls. We're at dinner.

2423
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 2: The phone's always on the table, and you know what

2424
02:05:02,960 --> 02:05:05,240
Speaker 2: kind of examples that you know your phone is that

2425
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:07,760
Speaker 2: it's like I had my job, I have to be

2426
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:11,040
Speaker 2: tied to it at all times, especially now, like you

2427
02:05:11,120 --> 02:05:13,839
Speaker 2: never know what you're going to get a text. It's crazy,

2428
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, but this is the this is the fun

2429
02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 2: of it. Like, we just did the NHL trade deadline,

2430
02:05:19,040 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 2: and you know, the public loves it. We love deadlines,

2431
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 2: the NBA trade deadline, Brad Marshan move. When Marshan goes

2432
02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 2: to Florida, that's a big deal. What was it like

2433
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 2: in Boston? I mean Connecticut was it was there a

2434
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:35,760
Speaker 2: lot of Marshan?

2435
02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:38,960
Speaker 4: It was, there was some of it, but it wasn't

2436
02:05:39,040 --> 02:05:41,560
Speaker 4: as I mean, it's marsh It's still hockey, so it

2437
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:43,840
Speaker 4: doesn't it doesn't, it doesn't resonate the same way. But yes,

2438
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:46,600
Speaker 4: like there was there was some of that, and we

2439
02:05:46,760 --> 02:05:51,120
Speaker 4: are now you know, yeah, yeah, no, Like I think

2440
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:54,640
Speaker 4: Boston probably felt it a lot more than than Connecticut did.

2441
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 4: But to your point, and what you what your statement

2442
02:05:57,280 --> 02:05:59,080
Speaker 4: really asked me thinking about, is just the fact that

2443
02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:04,680
Speaker 4: in general, other than the NFL and college football in general,

2444
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:09,320
Speaker 4: most sports, I think it has become more enjoyable to

2445
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,640
Speaker 4: discuss and to talk about on our shows and for

2446
02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:17,600
Speaker 4: sports bar conversations to be about drama and movement and

2447
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 4: player tracking than it is about the actual games. Like

2448
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 4: the actual It is rare that you'll walk into a

2449
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,920
Speaker 4: sports bar anymore and here somebody say, oh my god,

2450
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Speaker 4: did you see that Bruins game last night? But you

2451
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:31,160
Speaker 4: can walk into a sports bar and have somebody say,

2452
02:06:31,200 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 4: oh my god, you see the Martians. You know what

2453
02:06:32,840 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 4: I mean? Like it's interesting because you know this living

2454
02:06:37,120 --> 02:06:40,080
Speaker 4: in an NBA world, Like we spend more time talking

2455
02:06:40,120 --> 02:06:44,160
Speaker 4: about embiid than we do talking about the actual games.

2456
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:47,960
Speaker 4: And we'll spend more time talking about where Jimmy Butler

2457
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:50,000
Speaker 4: was going to go, and then the minute Jimmy Butler

2458
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,680
Speaker 4: goes somewhere, that conversation kind of falls off. Even though

2459
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:55,400
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler's playing incredibly well for the war Like, even

2460
02:06:55,440 --> 02:06:58,000
Speaker 4: though the Warriors have had this big turnaround, I feel

2461
02:06:58,040 --> 02:06:59,880
Speaker 4: like Jimmy Butler is less of a day and d

2462
02:07:00,160 --> 02:07:02,760
Speaker 4: out story than when we had the drama around what

2463
02:07:02,960 --> 02:07:05,680
Speaker 4: was gonna happen next for Jimmy Butler. Like you you're right,

2464
02:07:06,200 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 4: you're right, it's crazy, it's crazy.

2465
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 2: It's hot stove, it's you're you're one hundred percent right,

2466
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:12,160
Speaker 2: and it's only football.

2467
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 3: Football is the only sport where you can bind both right,

2468
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:19,320
Speaker 3: like where the games obviously are are everything. But my god,

2469
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:27,720
Speaker 3: Like you know Detexans acquiring Christian Kirk. Everybody knows who

2470
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:29,840
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk is right, like.

2471
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:33,440
Speaker 2: People Texas guy, another receiver, a deep threat, you know,

2472
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:36,800
Speaker 2: made me stay healthy, Like people know the backstory of

2473
02:07:37,440 --> 02:07:44,240
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk because we are that knowledgeable or into the rosters.

2474
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:47,800
Speaker 2: So all this player movement let alone, you know, Oh man,

2475
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 2: where does Henderson go? Oh my god, what are the

2476
02:07:49,680 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 2: begal's gonna do? What about d k.

2477
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:59,400
Speaker 4: You know? And that's like, that's just I don't know.

2478
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm the the type of neighbor that doesn't if I

2479
02:08:03,400 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 4: see an ambulance driving down the street, I don't give

2480
02:08:06,840 --> 02:08:09,280
Speaker 4: it two thoughts usually, and if I do, my first

2481
02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 4: thought as man, I hope everybody's okay. That's how if

2482
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 4: I see like an ambulance down the street, most neighbors

2483
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:16,880
Speaker 4: that I've known in my life, if they see an

2484
02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 4: ambulance pull up to my house, god forbid, are immediately

2485
02:08:20,320 --> 02:08:22,120
Speaker 4: looking out the window trying to figure out what's going on,

2486
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:24,440
Speaker 4: Like what's the ambulance gonna do? Like are they really

2487
02:08:24,480 --> 02:08:26,920
Speaker 4: worried about my safety? Or they just into the Oh

2488
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:29,120
Speaker 4: my god, there's an ambulance over there. I gotta know

2489
02:08:29,160 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 4: what's going on. Like that's kind of how we consume

2490
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:35,680
Speaker 4: everything as a society now, Like we are. Everything's like, ooh,

2491
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 4: I gotta know the drama, give me the tea. Like

2492
02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:42,120
Speaker 4: this has become such a gossip based fueled society in

2493
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:46,480
Speaker 4: general that it's just way easier to talk about. You know,

2494
02:08:47,160 --> 02:08:50,400
Speaker 4: post Oscars, most people hadn't seen ninety percent of those movies,

2495
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:53,400
Speaker 4: but everybody had a hot take based on some drama

2496
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 4: around who won and who lost, and then we'll go

2497
02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:57,800
Speaker 4: right back to not paying attention to any of it.

2498
02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:01,360
Speaker 4: So it's like it's we are, we are crave. We

2499
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 4: crave some sort of drama that we can absolutely like

2500
02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:08,720
Speaker 4: attach our flags to and it's an interesting thing, like

2501
02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:10,640
Speaker 4: it's never going to change. That's the way we are

2502
02:09:10,680 --> 02:09:13,200
Speaker 4: now as a society. It's just wild to me because

2503
02:09:13,240 --> 02:09:16,120
Speaker 4: I live in the opposite. I just don't. I as

2504
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:19,760
Speaker 4: a person don't thrive in other people's drama, like true crime,

2505
02:09:20,240 --> 02:09:22,280
Speaker 4: the very thing of true crime, and I love true

2506
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 4: crime podcasts. But it occurred to me the other day

2507
02:09:24,880 --> 02:09:27,880
Speaker 4: is I was watching I was flipping through Netflix and

2508
02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:31,520
Speaker 4: they had the girl Gabby, Gabby Patrino, I think her

2509
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:34,120
Speaker 4: last name is the girl that was unfortunately, you know,

2510
02:09:34,280 --> 02:09:38,840
Speaker 4: killed in domestic violence, and Netflix had a special on it.

2511
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:40,720
Speaker 4: And I sat there and thought, I was like, man,

2512
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 4: when did we get to the spot as a society

2513
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:48,720
Speaker 4: that what we love is anything that is rehashing probably

2514
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 4: the worst day you could ever imagine for a whole

2515
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:55,360
Speaker 4: group of people, Like why are we making documentaries about

2516
02:09:55,800 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 4: terrible murders that have been solved just because people want

2517
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:00,560
Speaker 4: to know more of the drama and the backstorre behind it.

2518
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,680
Speaker 4: And I can't imagine being her family and looking around

2519
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:05,960
Speaker 4: and being like, oh god, oh my god, there's another

2520
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 4: you know, Like there's a difference between that and like

2521
02:10:08,640 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 4: an unsolved case where they're constantly trying to stay in

2522
02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:14,120
Speaker 4: the news. I understand why, you know, like the things

2523
02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:17,360
Speaker 4: like jumping a Ramsey have become such a conversation piece

2524
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:21,720
Speaker 4: for generations, but we as a society in general, it's like, Wow,

2525
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:25,640
Speaker 4: that person that family's worst day, We need more information

2526
02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:28,200
Speaker 4: on that. But if it was that family's best day,

2527
02:10:28,240 --> 02:10:29,840
Speaker 4: we don't really give it him. Like it's just a

2528
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 4: weird world. Man, It is a weird world.

2529
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:32,280
Speaker 3: Dude.

2530
02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:34,760
Speaker 2: You're right, And I kind of you know again, I'm

2531
02:10:34,840 --> 02:10:38,160
Speaker 2: in my own little bubble that I'm the same way,

2532
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:40,960
Speaker 2: like you know, I have to worry about my own household.

2533
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:42,480
Speaker 3: I can't keep up with Mike.

2534
02:10:43,160 --> 02:10:45,360
Speaker 2: I can't keep up with my kids games right like

2535
02:10:45,480 --> 02:10:50,600
Speaker 2: my kids sports right between work and my children. That's it, man,

2536
02:10:50,880 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 2: I don't have any time for anybody else's drive by

2537
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:55,880
Speaker 2: own stuff. So I feel you on that and that

2538
02:10:56,120 --> 02:10:59,839
Speaker 2: the fascination with it, and it does bleed into sports

2539
02:11:00,120 --> 02:11:00,480
Speaker 2: what your.

2540
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 4: Point is, Yeah, it bleeds into how we cover sports.

2541
02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:06,400
Speaker 4: And but the funny thing to me is the reason.

2542
02:11:06,520 --> 02:11:09,480
Speaker 4: One of the reasons I love watching the games is

2543
02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 4: the games of the ultimate reality show. Yeah, I don't

2544
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 4: need drama behind college basketball this weekend. I know that

2545
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,640
Speaker 4: there's going to be great college basketball, like, so I don't.

2546
02:11:18,680 --> 02:11:20,760
Speaker 4: I don't need to talk about whether Cooper Flag is

2547
02:11:20,840 --> 02:11:22,640
Speaker 4: coming back next year. I just want to watch Cooper

2548
02:11:22,680 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 4: Flag play today. Like that's That's just the difference in

2549
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:29,080
Speaker 4: how I'm wired. I realize I'm I am the weird exception.

2550
02:11:29,760 --> 02:11:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm more like you. I say, I love games.

2551
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:38,560
Speaker 2: I'd rather watch games than opinion shows, even though we

2552
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:41,960
Speaker 2: do one like, I'd rather I'd rather watch I just

2553
02:11:42,120 --> 02:11:47,000
Speaker 2: love the games of themselves, you know, like today there's

2554
02:11:47,040 --> 02:11:50,200
Speaker 2: some great ball all to day. I mean, Marquette Saint John's.

2555
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 4: Look at this, Saint John's doing this thing? Is this

2556
02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:56,840
Speaker 4: amazing right now? By the way, it really is.

2557
02:11:56,960 --> 02:12:00,560
Speaker 3: A friend of mine is the production company behind the

2558
02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:01,480
Speaker 3: Patino Show.

2559
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:03,040
Speaker 4: That's great.

2560
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:08,280
Speaker 2: So we just got another episode to follow with Dorian

2561
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:10,600
Speaker 2: March Madness to them.

2562
02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's great. It's a great story.

2563
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:18,560
Speaker 2: This is a great game today, Marquette Sat John's Missouri

2564
02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:20,200
Speaker 2: Kentucky's a great game too.

2565
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:21,440
Speaker 3: Both Newton starts.

2566
02:12:21,920 --> 02:12:24,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then and then right when that wraps up,

2567
02:12:24,440 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 4: you get Auburn Alabama again like this and this Auburn

2568
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:34,600
Speaker 4: Auburn justs It's incredible to me that, you know, we

2569
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:38,160
Speaker 4: keep talking about the greatness of the SEC this year particularly,

2570
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:40,480
Speaker 4: we should be talking about the greatness of the SEC,

2571
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:46,200
Speaker 4: and realizing obviously that Auburn just lost to Texas A

2572
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:49,000
Speaker 4: and M. But to think that they've gotten gotten through

2573
02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:52,680
Speaker 4: this gauntlet, I mean, they're twenty seven and three in

2574
02:12:52,920 --> 02:12:55,120
Speaker 4: what is going to turn out to be arguably one

2575
02:12:55,160 --> 02:12:57,440
Speaker 4: of the greatest years we've ever seen for any conference

2576
02:12:57,480 --> 02:13:02,320
Speaker 4: in college basketball, like Projection yesterday that had fourteen of

2577
02:13:02,440 --> 02:13:05,680
Speaker 4: the sixteen SEC teams and so like, and to be

2578
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 4: sitting here at twenty seven and three like Auburn. It

2579
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:12,240
Speaker 4: is absolutely insane at what Auburn is doing. And if

2580
02:13:12,280 --> 02:13:14,480
Speaker 4: you're Bama, you've been in some of these games that

2581
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:16,160
Speaker 4: you're just looking at it saying, how the hell do

2582
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:18,080
Speaker 4: we lose? Like, how the hell did Bama not figure

2583
02:13:18,120 --> 02:13:20,680
Speaker 4: out how to inbounds the ball against Tennessee last week?

2584
02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:24,320
Speaker 4: The game? It's crazy to me. So yeah, just the

2585
02:13:24,360 --> 02:13:27,360
Speaker 4: fact that we're getting that this late, like we're getting

2586
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:30,840
Speaker 4: meaningful true seating on the line. Oh my god, we

2587
02:13:31,320 --> 02:13:33,920
Speaker 4: still can't figure out who the best teams are two

2588
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:36,840
Speaker 4: days before we're into conference tournament. Actually, that's crazy.

2589
02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:42,720
Speaker 2: So we have the Brain coming up and he does it.

2590
02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:46,160
Speaker 2: He'll give us some picks and we talk about sports

2591
02:13:46,160 --> 02:13:51,760
Speaker 2: from a betting perspective. A question for you, Duke, is

2592
02:13:51,840 --> 02:13:55,680
Speaker 2: only ten and a half against Caroline. Now, I know

2593
02:13:55,800 --> 02:14:01,240
Speaker 2: the game's Chapel Hill, but that matchup is not good

2594
02:14:01,360 --> 02:14:04,720
Speaker 2: for Carolina. We saw it the first game. Now it

2595
02:14:04,840 --> 02:14:07,480
Speaker 2: got crazy, but I don't see how it doesn't get

2596
02:14:07,520 --> 02:14:09,320
Speaker 2: crazy yet. I don't know how they stay in the

2597
02:14:09,360 --> 02:14:10,200
Speaker 2: game against that team.

2598
02:14:10,720 --> 02:14:13,480
Speaker 4: I a thousand percent agree with you. And in fact,

2599
02:14:14,040 --> 02:14:17,400
Speaker 4: if you just look this year at North Carolina for

2600
02:14:17,600 --> 02:14:20,720
Speaker 4: the most part. When they've played ranked teams, it hasn't

2601
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:24,760
Speaker 4: been that competitive. I mean, this is North Carolina has

2602
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:27,920
Speaker 4: beaten up on some teams in the ACC to add

2603
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:30,440
Speaker 4: that win total. But I mean, come on, Clemson beat

2604
02:14:30,480 --> 02:14:33,120
Speaker 4: them and beat him by a few weeks ago. Duke

2605
02:14:33,200 --> 02:14:35,920
Speaker 4: beat them bad. We know that. I feel like they

2606
02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:39,160
Speaker 4: had an earlier game this year might have been Florida

2607
02:14:39,360 --> 02:14:42,800
Speaker 4: memory against the SEC. They played a couple of a

2608
02:14:42,880 --> 02:14:46,400
Speaker 4: couple of those SEC teams and neither of those games

2609
02:14:46,440 --> 02:14:48,920
Speaker 4: were competitive. Like, I just I'm with you, I don't.

2610
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:50,400
Speaker 4: I don't think this is going to be a competitive

2611
02:14:50,440 --> 02:14:53,040
Speaker 4: Duke North Carolina game today, and that's going to be

2612
02:14:53,240 --> 02:14:54,760
Speaker 4: That's that's a hard building.

2613
02:14:54,600 --> 02:14:57,920
Speaker 2: For Florida Carolina. It was a good game, but Florida

2614
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:02,600
Speaker 2: beat him by six early. You're right, they've lost to

2615
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:08,040
Speaker 2: every ranked team. Bama beat them by fifteen, Florida.

2616
02:15:08,040 --> 02:15:10,320
Speaker 4: And Obama beat them, and Auburn beat them early in

2617
02:15:10,360 --> 02:15:13,360
Speaker 4: the year, Big two. So you know, yeah, I just

2618
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:15,400
Speaker 4: go up and down the board, like when Carolina has

2619
02:15:15,440 --> 02:15:18,040
Speaker 4: to play somebody that's actually worth the damn it doesn't

2620
02:15:18,040 --> 02:15:18,600
Speaker 4: work out well.

2621
02:15:19,760 --> 02:15:22,880
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy, dude, I'm just going back to

2622
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:29,360
Speaker 2: November I'm looking at Carolina schedule right to start the

2623
02:15:29,480 --> 02:15:35,240
Speaker 2: season on November eighth, right, how early that is? November

2624
02:15:35,320 --> 02:15:41,440
Speaker 2: the eighth, North Carolina. It was ranked what I don't remember,

2625
02:15:41,640 --> 02:15:43,960
Speaker 2: I know they were ranked time number nine.

2626
02:15:45,200 --> 02:15:45,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

2627
02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:51,280
Speaker 2: And on November the eighth, that Friday, to kick off

2628
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:54,560
Speaker 2: the season in one of the big early tournaments, they

2629
02:15:54,760 --> 02:15:59,120
Speaker 2: played number the number one team in the country.

2630
02:15:59,520 --> 02:16:00,440
Speaker 3: Do you know what was?

2631
02:16:01,160 --> 02:16:03,640
Speaker 4: No, I only know this because it came up the

2632
02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:04,480
Speaker 4: other day in my prep.

2633
02:16:04,600 --> 02:16:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2634
02:16:04,840 --> 02:16:08,400
Speaker 4: Kansas, Kansas. Yes, we forget that. Kansas started this year.

2635
02:16:08,720 --> 02:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, number one, and they it's just been a disaster.

2636
02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:13,440
Speaker 4: Of a year for Kansas.

2637
02:16:13,720 --> 02:16:18,680
Speaker 2: Right, Oh my god, I forgot now, I'm like, oh, yeah, true,

2638
02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:21,600
Speaker 2: there were number one. They were the number one team

2639
02:16:21,640 --> 02:16:27,880
Speaker 2: in the country. Kansas. It's unbelievable. And they won that

2640
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:32,120
Speaker 2: game ninety to eighty nine over Carolina. And to your point,

2641
02:16:32,440 --> 02:16:38,160
Speaker 2: Auburn a little later on in the month crushes them

2642
02:16:38,320 --> 02:16:42,760
Speaker 2: eighty five to seventy two. And wasn't that close And

2643
02:16:42,879 --> 02:16:47,640
Speaker 2: the Maui invitation alburn was that good? Like we should

2644
02:16:47,640 --> 02:16:49,080
Speaker 2: have saw Auburn back then.

2645
02:16:50,640 --> 02:16:52,520
Speaker 4: And think about this is one of the crazy things

2646
02:16:52,520 --> 02:16:56,400
Speaker 4: about the transfer portal in college basketball, Hunter Dickinson left

2647
02:16:56,480 --> 02:16:58,800
Speaker 4: for Kansas and made it pretty clear that they were

2648
02:16:58,800 --> 02:17:00,400
Speaker 4: going to pay him the most and he gonna be

2649
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:02,560
Speaker 4: able to win the most there. And it's like, how'd

2650
02:17:02,560 --> 02:17:05,400
Speaker 4: that work out for you? Hunter, Because I mean, right now,

2651
02:17:05,959 --> 02:17:08,000
Speaker 4: Michigan looks like they're in a pretty good situation and

2652
02:17:09,080 --> 02:17:12,400
Speaker 4: Kansas does not. So it's a it's kind of wild

2653
02:17:12,480 --> 02:17:13,360
Speaker 4: how this thing played out.

2654
02:17:13,840 --> 02:17:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, big way. All right.

2655
02:17:16,600 --> 02:17:19,320

Speaker 3: last night?

2676
02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:37,800
Speaker 6: It's unbelievable again, you know, in the history I saw

2677
02:18:37,840 --> 02:18:40,400
Speaker 6: that box score. I was watching them some of the

2678
02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:44,160
Speaker 6: game and I just couldn't believe. It's like, it's like,

2679
02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:46,160
Speaker 6: you say, how can a player do that in the NBA.

2680
02:18:46,440 --> 02:18:49,640
Speaker 6: It's like it just it doesn't seem possible. And He's

2681
02:18:49,800 --> 02:18:53,800
Speaker 6: just I told you when I watched it play Anthony,

2682
02:18:54,080 --> 02:18:56,520
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm watching a guide in slow motion,

2683
02:18:56,600 --> 02:18:59,600
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Yeah, he like bird, he

2684
02:18:59,720 --> 02:19:03,000
Speaker 6: like sex the game like in a way that again,

2685
02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:05,119
Speaker 6: he plays it like Keith in slow motion. Like Keith.

2686
02:19:05,680 --> 02:19:09,800
Speaker 6: He just sees everything before everyone else. He's a phenomenal player,

2687
02:19:10,240 --> 02:19:11,680
Speaker 6: just fastly phenomenal player.

2688
02:19:12,240 --> 02:19:17,320
Speaker 2: You see why Kessler lost all He had twenty rebounds

2689
02:19:17,320 --> 02:19:18,240
Speaker 2: on the first death.

2690
02:19:19,560 --> 02:19:22,360
Speaker 6: Well, funny, I always tell you my wins, I'll get

2691
02:19:22,400 --> 02:19:24,760
Speaker 6: my loss. I had Kessler under like thirteen and a

2692
02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:26,720
Speaker 6: half rebounds. I lost it, like in the first quarter,

2693
02:19:26,800 --> 02:19:28,600
Speaker 6: Ill said, Okay, we'll move on. I had a good

2694
02:19:28,640 --> 02:19:30,360
Speaker 6: prop day yesterday, but that was not one of my

2695
02:19:30,480 --> 02:19:33,520
Speaker 6: uh one of my better, one of my better yesterday.

2696
02:19:33,680 --> 02:19:36,879
Speaker 6: Get Walker Kessler had an amazing game yesterday as well.

2697
02:19:36,959 --> 02:19:39,039
Speaker 6: But Joe gets just otherworldly.

2698
02:19:39,440 --> 02:19:42,199
Speaker 3: Yeah he's he's the best. Let's get it started. Fifteen.

2699
02:19:42,320 --> 02:19:46,000
Speaker 2: I want to pick your brain locks you get to Yeah,

2700
02:19:46,120 --> 02:19:49,680
Speaker 2: yet maybe there he is. My boy's excited this morning.

2701
02:19:50,200 --> 02:19:52,600
Speaker 4: I mean, look, the only thing I'll say to the

2702
02:19:52,720 --> 02:19:54,480
Speaker 4: brain is that, like, because I see all that they

2703
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:56,680
Speaker 4: hate on social media, Like I think Pete Carroll has

2704
02:19:56,720 --> 02:19:58,560
Speaker 4: earned a little benefit of the death. If Pete Carroll

2705
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:00,920
Speaker 4: tells me that Gino Smith can can be the quarterback,

2706
02:20:00,959 --> 02:20:02,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna trust him. That's all.

2707
02:20:02,959 --> 02:20:05,640
Speaker 6: Well, No, I mean to me, Geno Smith again, I

2708
02:20:05,720 --> 02:20:07,360
Speaker 6: look to give up a number three pick for him.

2709
02:20:07,800 --> 02:20:09,520
Speaker 6: I look at it like this, I mean, he to me,

2710
02:20:10,720 --> 02:20:13,160
Speaker 6: you know, I'm not overrating him, but he's at least

2711
02:20:13,200 --> 02:20:18,480
Speaker 6: a solid professional NFL quarterback, which is way like you know,

2712
02:20:18,680 --> 02:20:21,520
Speaker 6: like a dark hard for years. Like he's better than him.

2713
02:20:21,800 --> 02:20:23,400
Speaker 6: And I mean, I think he's at least a guy

2714
02:20:23,440 --> 02:20:25,960
Speaker 6: you can put out there not embarrass yourself, and you

2715
02:20:26,040 --> 02:20:28,240
Speaker 6: put a decent team around him. Now the question is

2716
02:20:28,800 --> 02:20:30,400
Speaker 6: can you put a decent team around him. I mean,

2717
02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:34,400
Speaker 6: Bowers is obviously tremendous wide receiver wise. They don't really

2718
02:20:34,400 --> 02:20:37,880
Speaker 6: know if they've been much after that, but I absolutely

2719
02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:40,000
Speaker 6: think this will help their team a tremendous amount. Obviously,

2720
02:20:40,040 --> 02:20:42,879
Speaker 6: top brading company want to start winning and at least

2721
02:20:42,920 --> 02:20:45,039
Speaker 6: I think, you know, third round, like that's not going

2722
02:20:45,120 --> 02:20:47,160
Speaker 6: to kill you, So I kind of I like the

2723
02:20:47,200 --> 02:20:48,040
Speaker 6: Trevator's point view.

2724
02:20:48,120 --> 02:20:52,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's dive into Kyle's basketball because it's the

2725
02:20:52,160 --> 02:20:55,200
Speaker 2: firth day of Cott. We were talking about last regular

2726
02:20:55,320 --> 02:20:58,560
Speaker 2: season first six. First, why is Duke only ten and

2727
02:20:58,600 --> 02:21:01,760
Speaker 2: a half? Explain that to me? Because the matchup I

2728
02:21:01,920 --> 02:21:04,520
Speaker 2: watched the first game. I know it's a jop oil

2729
02:21:04,600 --> 02:21:07,040
Speaker 2: this year. I don't see how that's going to stay close.

2730
02:21:08,200 --> 02:21:10,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean obviously it shouldn't. But I mean

2731
02:21:10,320 --> 02:21:12,600
Speaker 6: I guess the reason for that, Anthony. And again, in

2732
02:21:12,680 --> 02:21:16,640
Speaker 6: your most have one's ratings, you're gonna have Duke ranth

2733
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:20,520
Speaker 6: one or two. Okay, North Carolina, it's in various part

2734
02:21:20,560 --> 02:21:23,360
Speaker 6: of my will, says North Carolina. Anthony has been playing.

2735
02:21:23,680 --> 02:21:26,880
Speaker 6: Look from the numbers point of view, just my numbers. Sure,

2736
02:21:26,920 --> 02:21:29,640
Speaker 6: this game should have been close to like fourteen. Okay,

2737
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:33,520
Speaker 6: but North Carolina has actually been playing better recently. They

2738
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:38,200
Speaker 6: really have. They They were atrocious to start the year,

2739
02:21:38,640 --> 02:21:41,400
Speaker 6: but recently they actually have. This is the team makes

2740
02:21:41,440 --> 02:21:43,320
Speaker 6: before the year I thought had a chance to be decent,

2741
02:21:43,720 --> 02:21:45,879
Speaker 6: But they actually have been playing a little better recently.

2742
02:21:45,879 --> 02:21:48,560
Speaker 6: I think they've won like five or five games in

2743
02:21:48,600 --> 02:21:50,880
Speaker 6: a row by twenty points or something like that. They

2744
02:21:50,920 --> 02:21:54,480
Speaker 6: actually have been playing a little bit better. But again,

2745
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:59,400
Speaker 6: as she said, this is total difference in class. Only

2746
02:21:59,440 --> 02:22:01,440
Speaker 6: way I came up would be the Duke's side, not

2747
02:22:01,640 --> 02:22:04,760
Speaker 6: laying it, but because again the rivalry just we know

2748
02:22:04,920 --> 02:22:07,000
Speaker 6: that it's like the Michigan Ohio State thing. When Michigan

2749
02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:10,640
Speaker 6: this year came closerven though they shouldn't, maybe just because

2750
02:22:10,640 --> 02:22:13,320
Speaker 6: to the rivalry, UNC does keep it close. Not a

2751
02:22:13,400 --> 02:22:15,280
Speaker 6: game I'm playing that my lean would be towards Duke.

2752
02:22:16,320 --> 02:22:18,840
Speaker 4: Let mean, you mentioned Michigan. It's tomorrow, But I got

2753
02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:21,080
Speaker 4: to ask you about how do you factor a game

2754
02:22:21,200 --> 02:22:25,080
Speaker 4: rivalry Miskan, Michigan State, that's games at Breslin, But how

2755
02:22:25,120 --> 02:22:26,720
Speaker 4: do you factor in the fact that the game is

2756
02:22:26,800 --> 02:22:30,520
Speaker 4: sort of meaningless because the big regular season championship has

2757
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:33,200
Speaker 4: already been locked up. So does that give you any

2758
02:22:33,240 --> 02:22:34,680
Speaker 4: hesitation when you're playing on something?

2759
02:22:35,480 --> 02:22:38,200
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well again, motivation is such an important part see,

2760
02:22:38,240 --> 02:22:40,840
Speaker 6: So yeah, I try to deal with games where I

2761
02:22:40,879 --> 02:22:44,200
Speaker 6: think I know the motivation, you know, at least, even

2762
02:22:44,200 --> 02:22:45,400
Speaker 6: if I just need to know it from one of

2763
02:22:45,440 --> 02:22:47,959
Speaker 6: the two sides. I tried it to know that because

2764
02:22:47,959 --> 02:22:51,040
Speaker 6: I always say, again, we you don't factor that in

2765
02:22:51,160 --> 02:22:53,840
Speaker 6: and you're and you read it wrong, you could have

2766
02:22:53,879 --> 02:22:55,840
Speaker 6: a total egg on your hands. So yeah, I much

2767
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:58,520
Speaker 6: prefer dealing with games where I feel like the motivation

2768
02:22:58,640 --> 02:23:01,400
Speaker 6: I know is opposed to me getting and how do

2769
02:23:01,480 --> 02:23:03,240
Speaker 6: I know who's going to play, how many minutes, how

2770
02:23:03,280 --> 02:23:05,760
Speaker 6: hard they're going to play. Although usually with college I

2771
02:23:05,840 --> 02:23:07,600
Speaker 6: feel like it's not as bad as in the pros,

2772
02:23:07,640 --> 02:23:09,560
Speaker 6: which has gotten to the point, I mean if they've

2773
02:23:09,560 --> 02:23:11,760
Speaker 6: talked about the NBA. I mean, I feel like the

2774
02:23:11,840 --> 02:23:14,760
Speaker 6: way the players rest or whatnot motivations als like it's

2775
02:23:14,760 --> 02:23:17,080
Speaker 6: impossible to know who's gonna who's going to do what.

2776
02:23:17,200 --> 02:23:19,680
Speaker 6: But in college usually at least you're going to get

2777
02:23:19,680 --> 02:23:22,080
Speaker 6: a quote unquote true effort, usually even if it is

2778
02:23:22,160 --> 02:23:23,680
Speaker 6: a quote unquote non meaningful game.

2779
02:23:25,040 --> 02:23:27,480
Speaker 3: Uh alburn Alabama again?

2780
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:33,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, good one. Yeah, well listen, you know, Alabama to me,

2781
02:23:34,080 --> 02:23:37,840
Speaker 6: when they've stepped up in class just has not gotten

2782
02:23:37,920 --> 02:23:40,840
Speaker 6: it done. Now they're getting seven and a half here

2783
02:23:40,920 --> 02:23:45,160
Speaker 6: on the road, big number, but Albura would be decided.

2784
02:23:45,160 --> 02:23:47,080
Speaker 6: I'd be looking at not going to touch it. I

2785
02:23:47,160 --> 02:23:50,120
Speaker 6: thin my numbers made this game close like around eight.

2786
02:23:50,600 --> 02:23:53,040
Speaker 6: It's sitting at seven and a half slash eight. Lean

2787
02:23:53,120 --> 02:23:56,920
Speaker 6: here would be the Auburn sarbridge. Mostly because Alabama just

2788
02:23:57,040 --> 02:23:59,800
Speaker 6: to me this year, in these big games, these big spots,

2789
02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:04,360
Speaker 6: they step up and faced tougher competition time and time again,

2790
02:24:04,720 --> 02:24:07,880
Speaker 6: Alabama has failed. I leaned towards Auburn.

2791
02:24:09,240 --> 02:24:10,960
Speaker 4: So talk to me a little bit about Texas A

2792
02:24:11,080 --> 02:24:14,320
Speaker 4: and M. They're taking on LSU today. It's interesting to

2793
02:24:14,400 --> 02:24:16,400
Speaker 4: me because they lost a bunch of games in a row,

2794
02:24:16,480 --> 02:24:18,520
Speaker 4: but they were tough games, right, and then they turned

2795
02:24:18,520 --> 02:24:21,840
Speaker 4: around and beat Auburn. So where are you on Texas

2796
02:24:21,879 --> 02:24:23,440
Speaker 4: A and M LSU? Where are you on Texas A

2797
02:24:23,440 --> 02:24:24,120
Speaker 4: and M in general?

2798
02:24:25,400 --> 02:24:25,520
Speaker 2: Well?

2799
02:24:25,840 --> 02:24:28,160
Speaker 6: Tha, look, I mean look at everybody in right now.

2800
02:24:28,240 --> 02:24:29,640
Speaker 6: I think fifty six or six and a half. I

2801
02:24:29,760 --> 02:24:33,520
Speaker 6: believe something like that. It's six and a half A

2802
02:24:33,600 --> 02:24:36,760
Speaker 6: and M. To me, look, they went through a bad

2803
02:24:36,840 --> 02:24:39,640
Speaker 6: stretch where I think this is a team to me

2804
02:24:39,760 --> 02:24:43,000
Speaker 6: that offensively, do I think they're good enough to make

2805
02:24:43,040 --> 02:24:47,959
Speaker 6: a deep run here? Probably not to me. But they

2806
02:24:48,000 --> 02:24:49,640
Speaker 6: are a tough team and they are a team that

2807
02:24:49,760 --> 02:24:51,800
Speaker 6: I think on any day, and they proved it when

2808
02:24:51,840 --> 02:24:55,720
Speaker 6: they beat Auburn, like quite easily. They can beat anyone

2809
02:24:55,720 --> 02:24:57,520
Speaker 6: in anythan data. They went through a tough structure, lost

2810
02:24:57,520 --> 02:25:00,640
Speaker 6: at home in Tennessee, they lost on the road at

2811
02:25:00,640 --> 02:25:02,680
Speaker 6: Missippi s If they got blown out. They lost at

2812
02:25:02,720 --> 02:25:04,879
Speaker 6: home to Vandergilt So that was a really tough little

2813
02:25:04,920 --> 02:25:07,000
Speaker 6: stretch for them. But this does this is a team

2814
02:25:07,040 --> 02:25:09,760
Speaker 6: to me that it's had some really nice wins. Again,

2815
02:25:09,840 --> 02:25:12,360
Speaker 6: the Auburn win was incredible. They weren't at Missouri, which

2816
02:25:12,400 --> 02:25:14,720
Speaker 6: was a really really nice win. They want at all

2817
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:17,000
Speaker 6: miss which is a really really nice win. I think

2818
02:25:17,080 --> 02:25:19,720
Speaker 6: A and M is a good team. I absolutely think

2819
02:25:19,800 --> 02:25:21,800
Speaker 6: that they are a team that can make a run,

2820
02:25:22,440 --> 02:25:25,040
Speaker 6: maybe win even two or three games. It wouldn't shock me.

2821
02:25:25,360 --> 02:25:26,520
Speaker 6: But do I see them as a team to go

2822
02:25:26,560 --> 02:25:29,880
Speaker 6: win the championship? Probably not, But l issue to me

2823
02:25:31,760 --> 02:25:35,320
Speaker 6: not a team that I really really think too highly

2824
02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:38,520
Speaker 6: of they have a losing record. I think A and

2825
02:25:38,680 --> 02:25:41,280
Speaker 6: M would be the only side I'd lay there, but again,

2826
02:25:41,600 --> 02:25:43,880
Speaker 6: didn't quite make my numbers. I fought one should be

2827
02:25:43,879 --> 02:25:46,400
Speaker 6: about seven and a half. At six and a half, all.

2828
02:25:46,280 --> 02:25:48,360
Speaker 3: Right, so how do you how are you approaching today?

2829
02:25:48,360 --> 02:25:48,680
Speaker 3: You got it?

2830
02:25:49,120 --> 02:25:52,680
Speaker 2: There's a million conference tournaments, yeah, on their way and

2831
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:55,360
Speaker 2: like all these other games, what do you got going on?

2832
02:25:55,760 --> 02:26:00,400
Speaker 6: Well, it's interesting, and I do I always hate taking

2833
02:26:00,440 --> 02:26:02,880
Speaker 6: the road teams in college, I really do. So there

2834
02:26:02,879 --> 02:26:04,840
Speaker 6: are a couple of teams that actually do like today

2835
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:08,400
Speaker 6: one again, Missouri Kentucky. I have these teams in my

2836
02:26:08,560 --> 02:26:11,640
Speaker 6: ratings literally ranked. When I say dead even, I mean

2837
02:26:12,640 --> 02:26:16,160
Speaker 6: dead even. You take five and a half with Kentucky

2838
02:26:16,440 --> 02:26:20,280
Speaker 6: against Missouri. I just again, I can't make a teams.

2839
02:26:20,320 --> 02:26:21,840
Speaker 6: I think debt even. I'm not given five and a

2840
02:26:21,879 --> 02:26:24,960
Speaker 6: half for home court. I think Missouri will win the game,

2841
02:26:25,959 --> 02:26:28,960
Speaker 6: But I think these teams are even. I'm gonna you know,

2842
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:31,120
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take Kentucky getting five and a half. I

2843
02:26:31,240 --> 02:26:32,960
Speaker 6: think that line is at least a point and a

2844
02:26:32,959 --> 02:26:36,080
Speaker 6: half too high. I think that's just a little bit

2845
02:26:36,120 --> 02:26:39,560
Speaker 6: too high, As I said another one bailer to me

2846
02:26:39,720 --> 02:26:41,640
Speaker 6: has been you know, kind of like North Carolina, a

2847
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:46,080
Speaker 6: very disappointing team. I just think they're awful. I do

2848
02:26:46,240 --> 02:26:48,840
Speaker 6: nothing about ballerun like and while I do not, Houston

2849
02:26:48,920 --> 02:26:51,200
Speaker 6: is a team that I do not think is quite

2850
02:26:51,200 --> 02:26:54,480
Speaker 6: as good as maybe as others do. I think Houston

2851
02:26:54,560 --> 02:26:56,680
Speaker 6: laying four and a half is a very reasonable spot

2852
02:26:56,720 --> 02:26:58,480
Speaker 6: for a teams I do trust always give a professional

2853
02:26:58,520 --> 02:27:00,879
Speaker 6: effort against the banner team. I just don't thinks very good.

2854
02:27:01,280 --> 02:27:03,720
Speaker 6: And here I will take a home team. Arkansas's around

2855
02:27:03,760 --> 02:27:05,760
Speaker 6: a picker laying one against the City State at home.

2856
02:27:06,240 --> 02:27:10,039
Speaker 6: Arkansas needs this game for blood. This is where Kyle

2857
02:27:10,120 --> 02:27:12,920
Speaker 6: Perry Tree shines these big games. I think they win

2858
02:27:12,959 --> 02:27:15,560
Speaker 6: a close game again, and I think it's a bad number,

2859
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:17,760
Speaker 6: but I think Arkansas wins a close game at home

2860
02:27:17,760 --> 02:27:18,720
Speaker 6: against the City States.

2861
02:27:19,680 --> 02:27:22,760
Speaker 4: So walk me through how you're going to approach conference

2862
02:27:22,879 --> 02:27:25,120
Speaker 4: championship week because obviously we won't talk to you until

2863
02:27:25,200 --> 02:27:27,880
Speaker 4: Saturday of next week. So are there any teams that

2864
02:27:27,920 --> 02:27:29,760
Speaker 4: you're looking at right now saying, Man, I really like

2865
02:27:30,160 --> 02:27:31,800
Speaker 4: people are sleeping on them. They can make a run

2866
02:27:31,879 --> 02:27:34,760
Speaker 4: through the conference tournament. Like there's there's some opportunity or

2867
02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:36,680
Speaker 4: money to be made in any of these like are

2868
02:27:36,720 --> 02:27:38,560
Speaker 4: the things that stand out to you going into it?

2869
02:27:39,160 --> 02:27:39,200
Speaker 3: Not?

2870
02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:42,600
Speaker 6: Not really you know what I said to Anthony Befoust again,

2871
02:27:42,879 --> 02:27:45,760
Speaker 6: especially with some of these bigger conference things that seem

2872
02:27:45,800 --> 02:27:48,360
Speaker 6: like I'm talking to the SEC big ten, you know,

2873
02:27:49,280 --> 02:27:53,680
Speaker 6: conferences like that, there's a situation where the motivation where

2874
02:27:53,840 --> 02:27:56,320
Speaker 6: let's put like like a like a like a duke.

2875
02:27:56,400 --> 02:27:58,360
Speaker 6: Do they you know, do they want to play four

2876
02:27:58,480 --> 02:27:59,560
Speaker 6: games in four ds?

2877
02:27:59,760 --> 02:28:01,520
Speaker 4: Just they do they need to do that?

2878
02:28:01,680 --> 02:28:03,760
Speaker 6: Like they really not that They're not trying to ever lose.

2879
02:28:03,800 --> 02:28:06,680
Speaker 6: I'm not saying ever that, but sometimes I feel like

2880
02:28:07,480 --> 02:28:09,640
Speaker 6: they don't want to. It's like putting a you know,

2881
02:28:09,680 --> 02:28:11,480
Speaker 6: if you take your car on along road trip, you know,

2882
02:28:11,560 --> 02:28:12,840
Speaker 6: you don't want to put the miles off. So whether

2883
02:28:12,879 --> 02:28:14,680
Speaker 6: you rent the car or whatever, So I don't want

2884
02:28:14,680 --> 02:28:16,480
Speaker 6: to put that many miles on my car. Maybe they

2885
02:28:16,480 --> 02:28:17,920
Speaker 6: don't want to put that many miles in their on

2886
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:20,600
Speaker 6: the players where say, all right, if we lose there,

2887
02:28:20,720 --> 02:28:24,040
Speaker 6: we get a week off to rest, recover, get our

2888
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:25,000
Speaker 6: minds and body.

2889
02:28:25,080 --> 02:28:25,240
Speaker 4: Right.

2890
02:28:25,640 --> 02:28:29,720
Speaker 6: That's not the worst thing so to me, much more

2891
02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:35,280
Speaker 6: than these conference tournaments, I far prefer the true tournament. Okay,

2892
02:28:35,360 --> 02:28:38,000
Speaker 6: in terms of handicapping. And also now in terms of

2893
02:28:38,360 --> 02:28:41,360
Speaker 6: the smaller tournaments that ones were only one team is

2894
02:28:41,400 --> 02:28:43,480
Speaker 6: going to get in, you know, like the Missouri Valley

2895
02:28:43,480 --> 02:28:45,840
Speaker 6: Conference or something like that. Those are ones. Again. I

2896
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:49,560
Speaker 6: like to live bet much more so than Bennett. Before

2897
02:28:49,640 --> 02:28:52,440
Speaker 6: the game. If I see a situation we're a live

2898
02:28:52,520 --> 02:28:55,119
Speaker 6: beat opportunity for a team that I in the game

2899
02:28:55,120 --> 02:28:58,000
Speaker 6: where to must win for both teams, then I have

2900
02:28:58,120 --> 02:29:02,160
Speaker 6: more confidence. Uh watching was posted again the motivation. She's

2901
02:29:02,240 --> 02:29:04,920
Speaker 6: sometimes a little murky in these conference tournament games, so

2902
02:29:05,320 --> 02:29:07,640
Speaker 6: it makes me I try to put my money into

2903
02:29:07,720 --> 02:29:08,720
Speaker 6: I'm a little more confident in.

2904
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:15,480
Speaker 3: All right, so anything in the association and then I do, Okay.

2905
02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:17,199
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give you I'll make real quick.

2906
02:29:17,400 --> 02:29:17,920
Speaker 3: I'd love that.

2907
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:20,119
Speaker 6: One of my favorite props of the year. You heard

2908
02:29:20,200 --> 02:29:21,640
Speaker 6: me gave me a liw it over five and a

2909
02:29:21,640 --> 02:29:24,360
Speaker 6: half asis. I bet this like seven times last night,

2910
02:29:25,520 --> 02:29:27,320
Speaker 6: thirty seven and fifteen and over five and a half sis.

2911
02:29:27,400 --> 02:29:30,680
Speaker 6: I was taking big odds, which I never understand that line.

2912
02:29:30,720 --> 02:29:33,840
Speaker 6: As long as I live again, this number should be

2913
02:29:33,879 --> 02:29:36,680
Speaker 6: closer to seven lowered over five and alphesis bet is

2914
02:29:36,720 --> 02:29:40,440
Speaker 6: an incredible bet. Franz Wagner's over three and emphasis getting

2915
02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:44,520
Speaker 6: juiced to he's thirty and fourteen of that over guy's

2916
02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:46,160
Speaker 6: going over two or three times. You want to give

2917
02:29:46,200 --> 02:29:48,320
Speaker 6: me plus some money on it, Sure, I'll take it.

2918
02:29:48,560 --> 02:29:51,240
Speaker 6: And then straight games. I like Bronaldane three and a

2919
02:29:51,240 --> 02:29:53,480
Speaker 6: half at home against the Wizards. I think I have

2920
02:29:53,560 --> 02:29:56,800
Speaker 6: a better team. They rested, They're going to probably rest

2921
02:29:57,400 --> 02:29:59,800
Speaker 6: quickly at night. But I do like the raptor's length

2922
02:30:00,040 --> 02:30:02,920
Speaker 6: they have at home. Lakers. I like them getting seven

2923
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:06,440
Speaker 6: and a half against Boston our zingest questionable, true holiday questionable.

2924
02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:08,240
Speaker 6: I don't care however it shakes out. I think the

2925
02:30:08,320 --> 02:30:10,800
Speaker 6: Lakers hid them within seven and a half and the

2926
02:30:10,879 --> 02:30:13,640
Speaker 6: Pistons taking six manth at the Warriors. Love what the

2927
02:30:13,680 --> 02:30:16,920
Speaker 6: Pistons of them this year. They played great every single game.

2928
02:30:17,200 --> 02:30:20,280
Speaker 6: Warriors the better team yet, but Detroit I say they

2929
02:30:20,360 --> 02:30:20,840
Speaker 6: keep close.

2930
02:30:21,600 --> 02:30:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I love this Pistons team.

2931
02:30:23,800 --> 02:30:27,000
Speaker 6: They've played so consistent. Anthony, again, you want to put

2932
02:30:27,040 --> 02:30:28,840
Speaker 6: a place to put your money in that they're to

2933
02:30:28,959 --> 02:30:31,640
Speaker 6: me plots season. They may not do anything, but regl

2934
02:30:31,720 --> 02:30:33,560
Speaker 6: season that's probably been like my best team I've bet

2935
02:30:33,640 --> 02:30:36,480
Speaker 6: on this year. They get a good effort, They play

2936
02:30:36,560 --> 02:30:38,360
Speaker 6: hard every night, and you're way ahead of the game.

2937
02:30:38,360 --> 02:30:40,560
Speaker 6: If your team plays hard every night in today's day

2938
02:30:40,560 --> 02:30:42,480
Speaker 6: and age, you're so far ahead of the game.

2939
02:30:42,920 --> 02:30:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, real quick, just to put a ball on

2940
02:30:44,800 --> 02:30:45,280
Speaker 3: this whole thing.

2941
02:30:45,720 --> 02:30:51,320
Speaker 2: So free agency, how will that will impact your futures?

2942
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:55,080
Speaker 2: You're like the minute like you hear stuff coming out

2943
02:30:55,280 --> 02:30:56,240
Speaker 2: and kind of move.

2944
02:30:56,520 --> 02:30:59,920
Speaker 6: I mean a NFL well, you know, I mean, I don't,

2945
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:03,240
Speaker 6: to be honest anything, I don't think there's any one

2946
02:31:03,640 --> 02:31:06,880
Speaker 6: specific player, and I'm just being honest. It's just like

2947
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:11,080
Speaker 6: a you know that it's a huge like if Miles

2948
02:31:11,120 --> 02:31:13,200
Speaker 6: Garrett were to be traded, that would be something that

2949
02:31:13,280 --> 02:31:17,120
Speaker 6: would affect me, okay, more so than any specific creation.

2950
02:31:17,160 --> 02:31:19,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if I see there's one player that's

2951
02:31:19,920 --> 02:31:22,120
Speaker 6: really going to be that much of a difference maker.

2952
02:31:22,120 --> 02:31:23,480
Speaker 6: I see, you know, I see the list. You know,

2953
02:31:23,600 --> 02:31:26,480
Speaker 6: Bosa got released, Okay, but he got released for a reason.

2954
02:31:27,160 --> 02:31:29,640
Speaker 6: He's not the same player that he once was. So

2955
02:31:29,879 --> 02:31:32,960
Speaker 6: for me, look, I'll be monitoring it, and it'll it

2956
02:31:33,080 --> 02:31:34,920
Speaker 6: actually absolutely factors in.

2957
02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:35,680
Speaker 1: But.

2958
02:31:37,520 --> 02:31:39,640
Speaker 6: Not as much this year is maybe some other years

2959
02:31:39,640 --> 02:31:41,720
Speaker 6: where there's really a one or two or three guys

2960
02:31:41,760 --> 02:31:45,520
Speaker 6: I think could be true difference makers. Maybe Devonte Adams

2961
02:31:45,560 --> 02:31:47,879
Speaker 6: can help a team charges the team I'm looking at

2962
02:31:47,959 --> 02:31:49,760
Speaker 6: if they were to get someone like him, you know,

2963
02:31:49,840 --> 02:31:52,119
Speaker 6: maybe I wait, sorry, they got they got a good

2964
02:31:52,120 --> 02:31:55,200
Speaker 6: receiver which they needed to help Lad McConkie and Justin Herbert.

2965
02:31:55,440 --> 02:31:57,600
Speaker 6: But I'll have to be monitoring it. But I don't

2966
02:31:57,600 --> 02:31:59,360
Speaker 6: think it's quite as important this year as in years past.

2967
02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:00,720
Speaker 3: Potentially, gotcha?

2968
02:32:01,200 --> 02:32:03,600
Speaker 2: All right, my brother, great stuff as always, man, Good

2969

2972
02:32:17,200 --> 02:32:20,080
Speaker 2: up right here, Fox Sports Radio.

2973
02:32:22,120 --> 02:32:24,960
Speaker 4: That's how I feel about college basketball now today, at

2974
02:32:25,040 --> 02:32:27,120
Speaker 4: the end of the college basketball did you miss it

2975
02:32:27,360 --> 02:32:30,760
Speaker 4: this week? I'm going to the Yukon game this afternoon.

2976
02:32:30,920 --> 02:32:34,400
Speaker 4: Uh really seenhole? Yukon going to be there.

2977
02:32:34,480 --> 02:32:35,879
Speaker 3: Let's go nice.

2978
02:32:36,840 --> 02:32:40,160
Speaker 4: Shout out to our wonderful Fox Sports Radio family for

2979
02:32:40,240 --> 02:32:42,600
Speaker 4: helping me get some tickets. It was a possible ticket

2980
02:32:42,720 --> 02:32:44,560
Speaker 4: up here, but it is a Fox game. So I

2981
02:32:45,040 --> 02:32:46,960
Speaker 4: reached out to some people in Fox Sports Radio and

2982
02:32:47,040 --> 02:32:49,200
Speaker 4: pay them. What do you know, I was able to

2983
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:50,880
Speaker 4: get some help. So shout out to the bosses for

2984
02:32:50,920 --> 02:32:51,200
Speaker 4: helping me.

2985
02:32:51,320 --> 02:32:54,800
Speaker 3: Oh that's good man. What happened to them?

2986
02:32:55,080 --> 02:33:00,760
Speaker 4: What they are a mystery, I honestly, and you know,

2987
02:33:00,879 --> 02:33:03,720
Speaker 4: I talked to Alice Caraman for Yahoo Sports a couple

2988
02:33:03,720 --> 02:33:06,560
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and he talked a lot about, you know,

2989
02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:09,800
Speaker 4: his own shooting troubles and trying to figure out, you know,

2990
02:33:09,959 --> 02:33:13,680
Speaker 4: how to fix that with coaches and maintaining his confidence

2991
02:33:13,760 --> 02:33:17,040
Speaker 4: for leadership. I think what you had here was a

2992
02:33:17,520 --> 02:33:20,320
Speaker 4: group of guys that were supposed to, you know, supposed

2993
02:33:20,320 --> 02:33:23,320
Speaker 4: to graduate into leadership roles and a bunch of young

2994
02:33:23,360 --> 02:33:25,400
Speaker 4: guys that were going to come in and automatically fill

2995
02:33:25,440 --> 02:33:28,800
Speaker 4: the gaps. And last year that worked and everybody doubted

2996
02:33:28,840 --> 02:33:30,560
Speaker 4: him last year, so you felt like, man, can't do

2997
02:33:30,680 --> 02:33:33,520
Speaker 4: that this year. Well, between the fact that Caraman hasn't

2998
02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:36,439
Speaker 4: shot particularly well and the team has been really inconsistent

2999
02:33:36,520 --> 02:33:38,280
Speaker 4: with some of this stuff. Like the hard part is

3000
02:33:38,360 --> 02:33:40,400
Speaker 4: that the best of Yukon on any given night can

3001
02:33:40,440 --> 02:33:43,119
Speaker 4: beat anybody, but they haven't been able to consistently put

3002
02:33:43,120 --> 02:33:45,640
Speaker 4: the best of themselves out there. I think this is

3003
02:33:45,680 --> 02:33:47,960
Speaker 4: a little bit like I this is said with a

3004
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:50,080
Speaker 4: lot of difference and respect to Alex, So I think

3005
02:33:50,080 --> 02:33:52,360
Speaker 4: it's been a really good player. I'm not sure every

3006
02:33:52,440 --> 02:33:55,840
Speaker 4: great player is necessarily meant to be also sort of

3007
02:33:55,959 --> 02:33:58,320
Speaker 4: the main feature of the locker room, you know what

3008
02:33:58,400 --> 02:34:01,000
Speaker 4: I mean. So I feel like he was a better

3009
02:34:01,080 --> 02:34:03,040
Speaker 4: version of himself when he didn't have to also be

3010
02:34:03,160 --> 02:34:05,560
Speaker 4: the leader in some ways. And I think that, you know,

3011
02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:09,080
Speaker 4: Yukon probably felt the loss of everybody that headed to

3012
02:34:09,120 --> 02:34:11,520
Speaker 4: the league. Like it's just all these pieces came together

3013
02:34:11,560 --> 02:34:13,840
Speaker 4: at once. I feel like we're gonna say, oh, you

3014
02:34:13,879 --> 02:34:16,000
Speaker 4: don't want to face this Yukon team in the tournament.

3015
02:34:16,040 --> 02:34:18,560
Speaker 4: They have so much experience, but they've just been not

3016
02:34:18,680 --> 02:34:19,280
Speaker 4: good this year.

3017
02:34:19,400 --> 02:34:23,240
Speaker 3: Not good. No, I yeah, you're right.

3018
02:34:23,959 --> 02:34:28,240
Speaker 2: It's to the point where I go, Yeah, I felt

3019
02:34:28,280 --> 02:34:30,320
Speaker 2: almost as of a couple of weeks ago, I felt

3020
02:34:30,440 --> 02:34:34,440
Speaker 2: you know, I still think maybe a dark horse, but

3021
02:34:34,600 --> 02:34:38,760
Speaker 2: they just the Marquette game that showed a lie.

3022
02:34:38,840 --> 02:34:40,879
Speaker 3: I was like, they just don't have it.

3023
02:34:42,520 --> 02:34:45,280
Speaker 4: No, And I don't know this late in the season,

3024
02:34:45,480 --> 02:34:48,920
Speaker 4: like if it hasn't come together now, I just don't

3025
02:34:48,920 --> 02:34:51,880
Speaker 4: see how it suddenly comes together, and especially as poorly

3026
02:34:51,920 --> 02:34:55,640
Speaker 4: as they've shot at times. So it just just just

3027
02:34:55,680 --> 02:34:56,920
Speaker 4: feels like a lost year for them.

3028
02:34:58,000 --> 02:35:02,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, It's funny, h picking the brain's brain when

3029
02:35:02,920 --> 02:35:05,360
Speaker 2: it comes to this stuff, because I always thought the

3030
02:35:05,440 --> 02:35:10,000
Speaker 2: conference tournaments where I like a team that gets hot

3031
02:35:11,120 --> 02:35:13,280
Speaker 2: and they could carry it. Speaking to Yukon, I mean,

3032
02:35:13,320 --> 02:35:15,280
Speaker 2: how many times do they do that where you get

3033
02:35:15,320 --> 02:35:19,280
Speaker 2: hot during the tournament and you ride it right into

3034
02:35:19,320 --> 02:35:20,240
Speaker 2: the NC double lot.

3035
02:35:21,480 --> 02:35:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's maybe this is sort of the big

3036
02:35:24,440 --> 02:35:27,080
Speaker 4: moment that turns around for Yukon. But I don't know.

3037
02:35:27,200 --> 02:35:29,720
Speaker 4: I keep watching these It's, you know, to use the

3038
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:32,680
Speaker 4: dreaded eye test conversation. If you spend a few minutes

3039
02:35:32,720 --> 02:35:36,160
Speaker 4: watching you know, the SEC, and you spend a few

3040
02:35:36,200 --> 02:35:38,320
Speaker 4: minutes watching the best of the Big ten this year,

3041
02:35:38,720 --> 02:35:40,640
Speaker 4: and then you turn around to watch Yukon, You're like, yeah,

3042
02:35:41,040 --> 02:35:45,039
Speaker 4: they just don't have that same level of everything from

3043
02:35:45,080 --> 02:35:46,640
Speaker 4: the spacing on the floor to the way that they

3044
02:35:46,680 --> 02:35:49,440
Speaker 4: attack it to the inability to inbound the ball sometimes,

3045
02:35:49,520 --> 02:35:51,959
Speaker 4: Like it's just yeah, it's all over the place for them.

3046
02:35:53,080 --> 02:35:55,080
Speaker 2: And believe me, I know how good the SEC is,

3047
02:35:55,680 --> 02:35:59,560
Speaker 2: all right, and I know that the ACC isn't what

3048
02:35:59,800 --> 02:36:03,640
Speaker 2: you to me, it's not very good, But you still

3049
02:36:03,680 --> 02:36:06,400
Speaker 2: can't convince me that Duke's not way better.

3050
02:36:06,440 --> 02:36:08,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like go, I'll burn a ton,

3051
02:36:09,120 --> 02:36:13,040
Speaker 3: but I I just don't know how they that team loses.

3052
02:36:14,720 --> 02:36:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that Duke team, especially my god,

3053
02:36:18,400 --> 02:36:21,000
Speaker 4: Like not everybody lives up to the hype. So I

3054
02:36:21,040 --> 02:36:23,000
Speaker 4: don't want to take it for granted that Cooper Flag is.

3055
02:36:24,720 --> 02:36:27,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's historic and it's a it's

3056
02:36:27,560 --> 02:36:29,200
Speaker 4: just a damn shame that he's going to be won

3057
02:36:29,280 --> 02:36:30,360
Speaker 4: and done for for the sport.

3058
02:36:30,640 --> 02:36:33,200
Speaker 2: I know, I wish he came back so bad, you know,

3059
02:36:33,520 --> 02:36:35,800
Speaker 2: when he was talking about coming back, I mean, I

3060
02:36:35,800 --> 02:36:38,120
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, you know, you're going to get paid,

3061
02:36:38,800 --> 02:36:41,640
Speaker 2: so it's not like you know, and I get that,

3062
02:36:41,800 --> 02:36:42,240
Speaker 2: I get it.

3063
02:36:42,879 --> 02:36:45,680
Speaker 3: He's so good. He's so good.

3064
02:36:45,760 --> 02:36:49,959
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag is so good and it's amazing you He's

3065
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:54,560
Speaker 2: almost underrated. Like as the season's going on, he's gotten

3066
02:36:54,720 --> 02:36:57,840
Speaker 2: better and better and better just and and by leaps

3067
02:36:57,879 --> 02:36:58,400
Speaker 2: and bounds.

3068
02:36:58,440 --> 02:36:59,760
Speaker 3: It's it's it's wild.

3069
02:37:01,280 --> 02:37:04,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know when you think about such a

3070
02:37:04,400 --> 02:37:07,240
Speaker 4: limited amount of time and the legacy stamp that he

3071
02:37:07,320 --> 02:37:10,200
Speaker 4: has made in that amount of time. Like I heard

3072
02:37:10,480 --> 02:37:12,520
Speaker 4: Seth Greenberg the other day when I asked, like, who

3073
02:37:12,600 --> 02:37:14,720
Speaker 4: are is comps in the NBA and he said, he's

3074
02:37:14,720 --> 02:37:16,240
Speaker 4: got a little bit of Grant hitlling him, a little

3075
02:37:16,240 --> 02:37:17,880
Speaker 4: bit of Scottie Pippin in him. And I just kept

3076
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:21,119
Speaker 4: naming player after player after player his size, his length,

3077
02:37:21,200 --> 02:37:24,800
Speaker 4: his ability to shoot. And then also it's just it's staggering, staggering,

3078
02:37:25,120 --> 02:37:25,400
Speaker 4: I know.

3079
02:37:25,640 --> 02:37:30,240
Speaker 3: All right, Last thing, real quick, big Eddy prediction for Monday.

3080
02:37:32,040 --> 02:37:33,600
Speaker 4: Uh, Sam Donald to the Seahawks.

3081
02:37:34,959 --> 02:37:35,440
Speaker 3: I like it.

3082
02:37:35,959 --> 02:37:37,480
Speaker 4: I think they got rid of Geno because they know

3083
02:37:37,520 --> 02:37:39,039
Speaker 4: that they're going Sam Donald instead.

3084
02:37:39,520 --> 02:37:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I like that a lot.

3085
02:37:42,680 --> 02:37:45,000
Speaker 2: All Right, that's gonna do for us. Thanks to Muddy

3086
02:37:45,040 --> 02:37:48,039
