31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240

Speaker 4: Honest.

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: People don't understand in New Orleans people compared to Vegas.

67
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,919

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Like I was there The last time I was in

69
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160

00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: the BCS Championship. I was kidding, yeah yeah, So like

71
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: when it was still like the college Championship was the

72
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: BCF Championship And it happened in New Orleans at the

73
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: super Dome and it was like on Bourbon and they're like,

74
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: this is the closest it gets to Marti Gras. But

75
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: we're in like kind of the Marti Gras window right now.

76
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840

Speaker 3: Yeah, the fun in Vegas only tours participated the fun.

82
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080

133
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: an Eagles fan or And it's hard because I feel

134
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: like if you're not a Chiefs fan, there's not that

135
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: many people rooting for the Chiefs.

136
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: I but you know, I don't this whole people need

137
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: to get over this.

138
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: When you're witnessing and living through greatness, appreciate it.

139
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Like we are so.

140
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Lucky to have lived through the Tom Brady era, like

141
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time right now. I mean, if

142
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Patrick keeps us up, like sure, he's getting pretty close

143
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to Brady in that the Lebron like also one of

144
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: the greatest basketball side of things.

145
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: I was too young for the Jordan era.

146
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: But like even Kobe and Shack, like when you're when

147
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: you're in these moments of greatness in sports, and we're

148
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: getting that with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs right now.

149
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: Dude, soak it up, soak it in.

150
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: And also here's the other thing, this is what I

151
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: see on the horizon, what win or lose for Kansas City. Yeah,

152
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: we did this for because I was in high school

153
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: when Lebron like debuted like that.

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: Why remember the draft, It was like and I was

155
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: like a Bron Bron fan even though he wasn't a Laker.

156
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: And then when he came to the Lakers, I was

157
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: live on Undisputed and it was just like another mic

158
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: drop moment of like.

159
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

160
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: And so we have these moments where we have these

161
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: generational superstars and instead of sitting there and being like, wow,

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: can you guys believe how good Patrick Mahomes is, He

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: sure is really really good.

164
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: This is crazy, I.

165
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: Know, right, because it's not very copelling television. Well, what

166
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: does Patrick Mahomes have to do to pass Tom Brady? Nothing,

167
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: let's just not Yeah, the Coary game stop because the

168
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: reality is did you you said it a minute ago.

169
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: There's no way you can lose here because watching history

170
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: is awesome regardless. And here's the other thing. If you're

171
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: a Patrick, if you're not a Chiefs fan, here's the reality.

172
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is beating your team. Yes, right, But if

173
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: you're in the AFC, you've been contender. Patrick Mahomes has.

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: Beaten Tom Brady or Joe Burrow, like the only two,

175
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: the only two that have gotten passed up.

176
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, if you're Tom Brady, you were doing you were

177
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: walking up to the Barbstreet'll.

178
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: Nervous right now because he's gonna have this.

179
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: The only thing that Brady doesn't have that Mahomes would

180
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: have would be a three piece.

181
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: You'd rather have the guy that has been just pounding

182
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: your team into submission. Also be a guy who's pounding

183
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: the rest of the league into submission.

184
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I don't want It's not that bad because

185
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like it's the greatest.

186
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: And then for me personally at ye as a guy

187
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: who I grew up in Louisiana, football fan, born and bred,

188
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: born in New Orleans.

189
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: Like, I appreciate.

190
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: This makes it running the football more sense.

191
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: Right, It makes makes.

192
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: Me appreciate running the football because you appreciate running backs,

193
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: appreciate going out and getting hard, tough yards. And everybody

194
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: wants to pay quarterbacks forty million dollars, fifty million dollars.

195
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: Sixty million dollars.

196
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: If Saquon Barkley wins the Super Bowl, I can't lose.

197
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: You can't load my demo. Real, there's a take. New

198
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: York Giants don't want to pay Saquon Barkley. Have you

199
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: seen their offense and look at them now.

200
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Exactly what it would literally be the most mic drop season.

201
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: So okay, let's start with our expectations for Sunday, right,

202
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: because I think there's two scenarios here that can happen.

203
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: It's either going to be a shootout, like a back

204
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: and forth offensive explosion which I'm rooting for because that's

205
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: what I love in every sport. TV is probably rooting

206
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: for that too, Or we're gonna get a defensive chess

207
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: match because these are both top five defenses. Now we

208
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: both know what both offensives have, right, that's the flashy

209
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: what everyone's talking about.

210
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Patrick will start with the Chiefs.

211
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey most playoff touchdowns for a

212
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: quarterback pass catching duo in playoff history. Mahomes is a

213
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: three times Super Bowl MVP. Knows how to win. Mahomes

214
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: has more playoff wins than twelve other NFL franchises. Andy

215
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: Reid saves his best plays for the biggest games and

216
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: the biggest moments in those games, which is probably going

217
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: to be the last big play of the game, which

218
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is why they've won so many one score games. And

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have super Bowl experience. Mahomes has been to

220
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: a super Bowl five times in six like in six seasons.

221
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: But these like these two teams, as we've sat off

222
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: the top, they faced each other two years ago in

223
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and each team has a good amount

224
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: of starters back right, fifteen starters who played in that game.

225
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: Eagles have eleven starters who played in that game.

226
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: So now let's talk about Eagles offense and Saquon Barkley, right,

227
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: because not only not only do we want to see

228
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Saquon absolutely Mike drop the like one of the greatest

229
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: single seasons we've ever seen.

230
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is extremely motivated.

231
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: Like I don't like, I don't know if you remember

232
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the photo of him walking off the field in Arizona,

233
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: just the absolute face of disappointment as he's color covered

234
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs colored confetti and he actually had that

235
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: as his lock screen for years. He didn't share that,

236
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: but it was like caught by like a media paparazzi

237
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: vibe of like, oh look it's him sad walking off

238
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: the field after a loss. And he's talked about it

239
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: a lot this week that he loves that he has

240
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: doubters and he said it's a great driving force. It

241
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: lit a flame, lit a fire in me. And to

242
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: have this opportunity again is exactly what you work for.

243
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: Like everything's there, the motivation is there. Then you have

244
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: the birthday, boy, you guys, Saquon Barkley is playing in

245
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: his first Super Bowl on his twenty eighth birthday. So

246
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: he's not only playing with again all the motivation in

247
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: the world after career season on new team with this

248
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: exact moment being the goal as to why he signed

249
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. But we've seen him rise already to

250
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: every single occasion this.

251
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: Season, I mean and to and if there was anybody

252
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 3: who was gonna knit a pick here, it would be, oh,

253
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: the rushing record.

254
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: Well, there were several times in which he was like,

255
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: you know what.

256
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: Let the young guys eat the game soup out of games.

257
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: So it's like, while I am not I am not.

258
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: A participation trophy type of guy, I would still say that's.

259
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: Really like to be a what one hundred and thirteen

260
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: or seventeen. He was shot and they.

261
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Sat out the last game, and they said, if if

262
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: they don't make it to a super Bowl, that would

263
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: have been a waste. But hindsight everything's always you know

264
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: better when you look back. They made the right choice

265
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: because this is the moment that they were waiting for

266
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: to be here in the Super Bowl.

267
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we all kind of knew it was going

268
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: to be.

269
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: The Chiefs like to have revenge against the current dynasty

270
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

271
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: And you know, one thing too, you're talking about Jalen

272
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: Hurts like people, you know, these things, they happen in

273
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: the way that we do sports media, Like phrases get attached, right,

274
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: And like one of the things they talk about the

275
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: way that that Super Bowl went is Jalen Hurts played

276
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: really well in a losing effort, right, And I don't

277
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: fundamentally disagree with the premise, but in a game in

278
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: which they lost by one score, he had a fumble

279
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: in which the Kansas City scored the touchdown.

280
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, So like, don't do that, you might win? Yeah, right.

281
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: So, Like as much as we look at Jalen Hurts

282
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: as playing really well in that game, from what I

283
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: understand of the man when I hear him talk, I

284
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: feel like that is something that he thinks about a lot.

285
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: Lock screen on his phone is him walking off the

286
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: field covered in Chiefs confetti after losing.

287
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: Right, But not not even just even that specific play,

288
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: like that moment, Like I would imagine that he carries

289
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: as much as the self blame by blaming himself for

290
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: that lost, just as much as James Bradbury for the

291
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Holden call.

292
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Because that's just who he is exactly.

293
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: So I think you talk about coming in with motivated.

294
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah right, okay, so let's play the what if game?

295
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Okay, if the Chiefs three pete, where would Patrick Mahomes

296
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: fall among all time quarterbacks? Is he now right up

297
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: there in the Tom Brady conversation.

298
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, it's been workshopping this, thinking about it, might.

299
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 4: Get ahead of it. Got three peats and putting one.

300
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I hot take right there, think about it right now,

301
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: if Patrick Mahomes had a catastrophic career ending injury, right.

302
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 4: That's not that I'm just saying, all right, maybe you know,

303
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: all right, let's put it. Let's change you.

304
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: Patrick Hohlmes retires and he decides he wants to sell

305
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: real estate right in the Dallas Meadrow Flex area.

306
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: It'd be a strange choice.

307
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: He wins the.

308
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, We listen and we don't judge.

309
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: He rides off into the sunset. Actually, what was it?

310
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: The conversation would be, there's never been a more dominant

311
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: quarterback in his career over the time period that he played.

312
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: Oh, let's like if you look at the first seven seasons,

313
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: his first seven seasons and Tom Brady's as a full

314
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: time starter, and this is before this is like not

315
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: counting obviously this Super Bowl and whatever happens tomorrow. But

316
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is neck and neck with the goat Tom Brady.

317
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl wins, Brady has three. Mahomes has three regular

318
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: season MVPs, Brady one, Mahomes two, super Bowl MVPs Brady

319
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: to Mahomes three. So if he wins tomorrow and if

320
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: they win, he will win Super Bowl MVP. He's right

321
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: up there is he is like neck and neck, maybe

322
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: just number two, right below Brady, just because of the

323
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: amount of rings, Like Brady has more rings than any

324
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: single franchise, Like that's that's a big deal.

325
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: But Brady was thirty five when in his last like

326
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: thirty four.

327
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: There was a ten year gap.

328
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: There was a there was a ten year gap between

329
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: his super bowls.

330
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 3: And so that's why I say people, people, if in

331
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: fact that happened, which it won't, people would make the argument.

332
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: So at this point, let's say he slows down a bit.

333
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: Let's say let's say Pat slows down. Oh, he only

334
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: goes to two of the next four Super Bowls, right,

335
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: these are did it's to six?

336
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: It's still yeah, it still is doesn't even make sense. No,

337
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: he is He's a different kind of quarterback than Tom Brady.

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Like if you meshed because again, he played baseball growing up.

339
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: If you took a shortstop and a quarterback and meshed

340
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: them together, and then we're like, oh my god, you're

341
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: so good. You can call your own plays whenever you

342
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: want to. But then you also have one of the

343
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: greatest head coaches of all time, and you guys together

344
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: are just absolute magic. Like it's just he's on a

345
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: different playing field. He's on a different like running the throws,

346
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: he can make everything. Like Brady was great, but he

347
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: wasn't post athletic quarterback like Patrick Mahomes is insane like

348
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: he is. He is an outlier and.

349
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 4: He's he's he's not somebody I don't like when he's

350
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: on the field. He's not the most athletic guy on

351
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: the field. Does need to be, but it's the timing

352
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: and that's one of the things.

353
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: Like this is a wild I just thought about it

354
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: with Riley Leonard from played to Notre Dame. He's not like,

355
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: he's not like fast, but he's just effective, right, he

356
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: was effective at running. Now Patrick Mahomes, Riley Leonard, the

357
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: only thing to have in common is they both play quarterback.

358
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: That's where it starts to stop shot. Don't get me wrong, but.

359
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: When you think about Mahomes, like, he's not running, are

360
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: the better comparison?

361
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 4: Should you? S? C. J. Stroud.

362
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: He's not running in the regular season, he's not even

363
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: running like maybe big games.

364
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: He even talks about it. I don't want to. But

365
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs he does.

366
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: He had that one hit against San Francisco where he

367
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: blew up the safety going across the end.

368
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: Noustafa blew him up going into the end zone. But

369
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: that's it. You watch him against Buffalo run for first down.

370
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: You watch, I guarantee you tomorrow he's gonna run for

371
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: some play that's bottled up and all of a sudden

372
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: he's gonna wiggle and make somebody miss and you're gonna

373
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: look at him. He's like, why is this guy wig?

374
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: He's just wandering down the field.

375
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: He's just gonna find a way. Nobody's gonna hit him,

376
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: no one's gonna get him. I'm so excited. I am

377
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: so excited. I'm not a person who likes Super Bowl parties.

378
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: I want to be on my if I'm not at

379
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the game, like working watching, I want to be at

380
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: home on my couch TV at full blast. Do not

383
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: See, I'm a party guy, but it had to be

384
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: the right type of people invited to the party because

385
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 3: everybody at the party has to know. This is a

386
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 3: football game first.

387
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.

388
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: That's what yeah.

389
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, well I'm gonna have people over, but like,

390
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: these are also sports people that understand. Don't talk to me.

391
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: How's work going?

392

Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon with us. Who super Bowl tomorrow and Thursday

409
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: was NFL Honors where they handed out the hardware, announced

410
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame class and you know what, like,

411
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I think.

412
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: They got it right.

413
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't have any hard notes here, Like I will say,

414
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: I was shocked, happy, pleasantly shocked at surprise that Josh

415
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: Allen won MVP. That's what I was rooting for and

416
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: what I had picked. It was obviously between Josh Allen

417
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson, and it was very close. Alan got

418
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven first place votes, Jackson got twenty three first

419
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: place votes, and most people assumed it was going to

420
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: be Lamar Jackson because he was first team All Pro

421
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: quarterback And it's the same people who vote for MVP,

422
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: and Allen became just the third player ever to win

423
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: MVP after not making the first team All Pro.

424
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: But Martin, can we admit that MVP is just a

425
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: quarterback award?

426
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: Like this just I feel like I don't like it

427
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: solidified it because yeah, Saquon Barkley one offensive Player of

428
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: the Year, but he was just one of nine players

429
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: so you are like the ninth player in the history

430
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: of the game to rush two thousand yards in a

431
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: season and not win MVP. Like that's that just solidified

432
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: that the MVP is a quarterback award.

433
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just hate it.

434
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: You wanted take one?

435
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 4: I hate it. I want it.

436
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: I did, actually after all when the dust all settled, Yeah,

437
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: I really felt that it should.

438
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 4: Have been SI one one.

439
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, totality of the season and the impact that he

440
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 3: had on that team, a team that I mean, they

441
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: ended that year on like an eight game losing street.

442
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: I picked them to go back to the super Bowl

443
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: last year, and I was.

444
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 3: So when completely down down the path two seasons and

445
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: when you look at them, they are fundamentally the same

446
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 3: plus rookies.

447
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: The only difference is Kuon Barkley.

448
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: And I'm not trying to diminish any of the rookie

449
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: acquisitions or anything of that nature, but no, it's the

450
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: same plus rookies and new coordinators. The Saquon Barkley was

451
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: the driving force behind that team all year. Yes, I mean,

452
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: and so like it's not a knock between Josh Allen

453
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: or Lamar Jackson, but.

454
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: To me, that's award.

455
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: Now.

456
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: He was in the NFL.

457
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: This is and the way that this all broke down,

458
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't what really bugs me. I don't care who

459
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: you think the second m VP is or third or

460
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: fourth or fifth. It's it's not relevant it right, it's

461
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: you are, like it matters for context.

462
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: It's just funny that they vote who is like first, second, third, fourth? Right,

463
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: But that was what I didn't realize. That's like I

464
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: guess I knew that, but I forgot that, Like that's

465
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: how it went. It's just like, this is my MVP.

466
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: That's it.

467
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: It should not be weighed in now.

468
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: The amount of second place votes should not be considered.

469
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Now, like who cares, No, it wasn't first, It wasn't first.

470
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: He went first.

471
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: It's not you know, we're going to give a gold, silver,

472
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 4: and bronze for MVP.

473
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 5: What do we do?

474
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

475
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it's just like that's what it is.

476
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Like it's it's solidified that MVP is a quarterback award.

477
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: I feel like there needs to be a separate quarterback

478
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: award and then just have MVP if we want it

479
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: to be more fair.

480
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: But like I think between the two they got it right.

481
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: Like if we're going like the quarterback the top two quarterbacks,

482
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: like because Josh Allen would not The Bills would not

483
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: be where they were this season without Josh Allen, sure

484
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: like that. So that makes sense if we're going between

485
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson for that case.

486
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: But I just you saw about the Bills wouldn't be

487
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: where they were. Yeah, well there's no doubt in my

488
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: mind the Eagles would not be.

489
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's why MVP's a quarterback award. It solidified it,

490
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

491
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: And if we're talking about, like, you know, teams where

492
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: they were, like, to me, the Eagles were. The Eagles

493
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: were more as crazy as it sounds, the Eagles were

494
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: more Saquon dependent to me than the Bills were Josh

495
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: Allen dependent.

496
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: Josh Allen had a great year.

497
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, But then the biggest difference between this year

498
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 3: with Josh Allen in past he cut down on turnovers

499
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: right hugely.

500
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: I mean that was his biggest knock and he completely

501
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: turned it around this year.

502
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: And I'm and I take credit for I used to

503
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: bang him for turning the ball over so much, but

504
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: we really is the difference between this year and last

505
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: year five or six interceptions between the guy who was

506
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: not the MVP to now the MVP.

507
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: No, no, I see, I don't think it's that. I

508
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: think it's literally he put the Bills on their back

509
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: and the only reason they got as far as they

510
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: did is because of Josh Allen, which I get, like,

511
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: if you put a team on your back, as Saquon

512
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: did as well with the Eagles, that's that's the that's

513
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: the base for MVP.

514
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 3: This is when I look at some of the other

515
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: maybe and maybe it's just I'm looking at it as

516
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: not jaded, but I'll look at the other quarterbacks in

517
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 3: the NFL. I think if you put Lamar Jackson on Buffalo,

518
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: they would have had a great year. Yeah, I think

519
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: if you put Josh Allen ball.

520
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: But it had like if you take out I mean,

521
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to take out Lamar because he is such

522
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: a polarizing player, but they also had like a Derrick Henry,

523
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: which is and.

524
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 3: I'm not not I'm all for it, I'm all for it,

525
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 3: But when you just replace those two swapped those two,

526
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 3: I don't see like, oh, Josh Pallen had no weapons. Well,

527
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, you know he before Derrick Henry will name

528
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 3: the weapons. Right, the difference to me in the NFC

529
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: was Saquon Barkley and the entire conference was saqua Barkley.

530
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: And the difference in the AFC was Patrick Mahomes. And

531
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: that's not reflected in the mvpis for Mahomes. But that's

532
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: the difference that was its. It is locked up the conference.

533
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: It's just out of the now. I'm not a quarterback.

534
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: MVP is a quarterback award and that was solidified at

535
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: the NFL Honors this year. All right, market Martin, workin

536
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: double duty, tell us what's trending.

537
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks have a sixty nine to sixty lead over

538
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: the Houston Rockets. Got out to a big early start

539
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: with Anthony Davis.

540
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 4: He had I think nineteen first half points. She's got

541
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 4: twenty four. Now he's angry, He's already got a double double.

542
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: He's angry playing she's got a double doubling in the

543
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: first time.

544
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: Was that quick?

545
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 3: Matt, thirty more minutes to play or twenty more minutes

546
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: to play in the game?

547
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: I love Crady.

548
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

549
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: In twenty four minutes, Anthony Davis has twenty four points,

550
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: thirteen rebounds, six assists, reblocks. Yes, that is, that's pretty

551
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 3: efficient and four free throws made, two three pointers made,

552
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: and on the rocket side of things, Yelling Green leading

553
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: them with sixteen points, six for twelve from the floor.

554
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: Now the ESPN moves having on Earth, I don't know

555
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: how much having on Earth they moved.

556
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: It moved a lot to get this Lakers game on

557
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: TV today, thinking that Luca Donsons and Lebron James are

558
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: going to play. It was rumored, well the rumors they

559
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: did not end up coming true. But right now, so

560
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: if you turn to TVDESPN, you can see a thirty

561
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: two to twelve game between the Los Angeles Lakers, who

562
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: have been playing inspired basketball since the trade, the Indiana

563
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: Pacers with the twelve points right there three minutes left

564
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. Austin Reeves was thirteen of the

565
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: thirty two. Obi Toppins the only Pacer on the court

566
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: who has scored. He's got three. In college basketball, Kansas

567
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: lost to Kansas State eighty one to seventy three. Earlier day, Kansas,

568

Speaker 3: nine lead over Missouri, and in a battle of two

574
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: top ten teams, the Auburn Tigers.

575
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: Have a I'm sorry. Florida has a twenty three to

582
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: live from the tarrek dot Com studios in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1: Thank you for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. It

584
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: is time for our first guest. He's been busy this week.

585
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: NBA insider Mark Medina, thanks for joining the.

586
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 7: Show, Alex, Thanks for having me. Yeah, it's been quite

587
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 7: a busy week this week. Not a lot of sleep,

588
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 7: but still a lot of Energy's all good.

589
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 2: We love that now.

590
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: This week's trade deadline I believe will go down in

591
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: history and the trade obviously that rocked the NBA and

592
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: the sports World a week ago was Luca to the

593
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Lakers ad to the MAVs. What was your initial reaction

594
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: to the move and do you think this was the

595
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: most surprising thing move you've ever seen?

596
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 7: Yeah? My initial reaction was the thought of many that man,

597
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 7: the social media accounts must have gotten hacked. Yeah, bake trade.

598
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 7: But then after making call and seeing more tweets and

599
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 7: the confirmations for myself, it really settled in that this

600
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: was for real. Now. The second question that he had

601
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 7: is this the most impactful crazy trade I've ever seen? No,

602
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 7: only because I also was there when the Lakers trying

603
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 7: to get Chris Paul in the deal and then the

604
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 7: former commission to take it Stern put a stop to that.

605
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 7: That was unprecedented. But I would say outside of that, yeah,

606
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 7: this is the biggest trade that I've ever witnessed been

607
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 7: a part of.

608
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: Now, Mark Martin wise here filling in for Carmen, when

609
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: we see this trade, I mean, Alex.

610
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: Started with can you believe the Lakers got to look

611
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 4: at that?

612
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Uh?

613
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: And we're sitting here now watching the Anthony Davies' debut

614
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: for the Dallas Mavericks. But I think everyone around Dallas

615
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: is like, what in the hell just happened?

616
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 4: How does something like this happen?

617
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: Is this because there's conspiracy theories all over the place,

618
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: But is this as easy as they didn't think that

619
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 3: Luca was going to be able to if he's not

620
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: doing the things he's doing they want him to do. Now,

621
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty plus million is not going to

622
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: incentivize him to do the things they wanted to do.

623
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a few letters to it. I think one,

624
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 7: you know, they thought, even at twenty five years old,

625
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 7: that there's concerns about how the rest of his career

626
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 7: is going to play out because he's not known as

627
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 7: being care of his body the best. I think. Secondly,

628
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 7: even though Luca Dogis is a generational talent, they got

629
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 7: the finals last season, they're eighth in the West. Their

630
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 7: feeling is they got to be a defensive oriented team.

631
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: I still don't think it justified that. Because Luca is

632
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 7: the one that carried them to the finals, he can

633
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 7: continue to get better. He's only twenty five years old,

634
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 7: and they can continue to round out the roster. But

635
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 7: even though I think the Lakers won this trade, I

636
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 7: think there is a very strong possibility and the short term,

637
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 7: Dallas benefits from the trade a lot quicker because of

638
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 7: what we saw with Anthony Davis today, the fact that

639
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 7: he is a defensive Player of the Year candidate. They

640
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 7: have a lot better shooters on the MAVs than they

641
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 7: do with the Lakers, and the chemistry with re Irving

642
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 7: is great. When you look at the Lakers, I don't

643
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 7: think there's going to be any issues with chemistry with

644
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 7: Luca and Lebron because their generational talents. They have a

645
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 7: lot of respect. But even though they got Mark Williams

646
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 7: at the center, there's still a lot of front courts

647
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 7: up there missing without Anthony Davis and most importantly, a

648
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 7: lot of defensive identity. So this is a longer term play,

649
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 7: but I think with that the Lakers are going to

650
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 7: benefit the most because it's Luca dot joke.

651
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the whole narrative around like his conditioning

652
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: is so fishy to me. But personally, yeah, nice excuse, guys,

653
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: but I personally think now being around Lebron, who's obviously

654
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: like takes insane care of his body and his training

655
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: routine is the best thing for Luca, Like he might

656
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: go through the Lebron like training camp do you expect

657
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Luca to be even more motivated now to change the

658
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: perspective perception of him?

659
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 7: In La very very good point in one hundred percent,

660
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 7: I Luca is the introductory press conference, what do you

661
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: make of all the criticisms about his condition? And he

662
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 7: said exactly what you said, that it's a motive, it's

663
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 7: a source of motivation. I think it was also telling

664
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 7: that Rob Polinka, the Lakers general manager, interjected and said,

665
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 7: you know, when you are trying to be a great player,

666
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 7: there's always ways to make sacrifices.

667
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: I e.

668
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 7: This is another challenge for him to overcome to become

669
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 7: an even better player. He also made a point to

670
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 7: say that the Lakers medical staff are going to work

671
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 7: in conjunction with some of the trainers that Luca Dodgers

672
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 7: has worked with, and that is a sharp contrast with

673
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 7: what was going on with Dallas. So I think with

674
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 7: Scary Alex and Martin is that we've already seen Luca

675
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 7: be a generational player, top five player with a chip

676
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 7: on his shoulder, and with Lebron James, he's just scratching

677
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 7: the surface here. So look, I'm going to just throw

678
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 7: this out there. I don't think it's hot taking. I

679
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 7: think I'm just calling it like it is. He's going

680
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 7: to win multiple titles again. To serve you retired done.

681
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: One hundred, I would agree with you on both of

682
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: those fronts. If I have to take over one and

683
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: a half, I would smash it with my four to

684
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: one k for Lucas with the loss, right, But Mark,

685
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: I do want to add, like, how much of this

686
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: in Dallas, because that's the side of this that infinitely

687
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: interests me more until I till like, what the tenth

688
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: when we see both of them on the court, I'm

689
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: still I'm still stuck back in Dallas. I don't know,

690
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: DFW do it for me because how much of this

691
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: in Dallas is the concept because we heard about Luca

692
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: early been playing professional basketball since she was like, I

693
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: don't know, in the first grade. However, it works over

694
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: it in Europe you're playing like Real Madrid on a

695
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: serious note, since it was like what thirteen fourteen years

696
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: old and has been tagged as like this virtue of

697
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: so this prodigy and we saw it and no disagreement here, right,

698
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: But when you are tagged like that and told this

699
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 3: and and you see it on the court so often

700
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: where is it in the level of like, I don't know,

701
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: drag Pop visions to say all the time. Part of

702
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: the reason why the Spurs were so great because Tim Duncan,

703
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: and Tim Duncan allowed him to coach, allowed Pop to

704
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: coach him.

705
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: How it was Luka.

706
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: Donc just like able to be coached, And like, how

707
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: much of that because we know he played with dark

708
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: and I know I'm rambling. He overlapped with Dirk for

709
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: a year, but that was Dirk's last season. It was

710
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: a Swan song. Lebron is still like a top at

711
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: any night, a top fifteen player in the NBA, and

712
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 3: he's forty something years old.

713
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering how much of that I don't know.

714
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 4: I said a lot.

715
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 7: You go, Mark, Yeah, you're onto something here. I mean, look,

716
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 7: no one's ever going to be like Tim Duncan. So

717
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 7: he's an outlier. But I think when you're looking at

718
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 7: Luka Doctric, I think he is coachable. But he's also

719
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 7: someone that won't be afraid to express his own opinion.

720
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 7: And so I think in fairness with what we saw

721
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 7: with Luca is that he went through some right rights

722
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 7: of passage moments with not being a Paul Hog, trusting

723
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 7: his teammates, making the extra pass, being a better defender,

724
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 7: not a finish product by any means, but at least

725
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 7: being amenable enough to turn some of those weaknesses into

726
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 7: maybe stretch to say it, strength, but not as severe

727
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 7: as a weakness. He is coachable. And I think the

728
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 7: other thing here, guys, they we have to keep in

729
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 7: mind is that he may not be in the best

730
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 7: of shape, but ultimately it hasn't really mattered. He's still

731
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 7: produced at a high level all NBA five teams. And

732
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 7: I will say this, like Kobe Bryant's work, ethic was different.

733
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: He was his own entity, but he scored eighty one

734
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 7: points admitting that his pregame meal was consuming grape soda

735
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 7: and Popperoni pizza. He was in his prime. It didn't

736
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 7: matter at that point. So what I'm getting at with

737
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 7: Luca is that once you start feeling the strain of

738
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 7: the consequences of not taking care of your body, most

739
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 7: of these players start falling in line and doing those things.

740
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 7: I think a good thing is alex Well alluded to

741
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 7: he's with Lebron, he's the master sure at doing that.

742
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 7: And I think now that he's under the Lakers umbrella.

743
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 7: He's obviously going to feel the additional pressure that comes

744
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 7: with playing with the Lakers franchise. You combine that with

745
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 7: his chip on his shoulder, and I expect him to

746
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 7: just be a maniacal and magical Luka Dovich, I'm so excited.

747
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: Mark, before we let you go, what are you hearing?

748
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Still a Monday Lakers debut for Luca.

749
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the expectation. Same thing with Mark Williams, and

750
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 7: the expectation from the Lakers is that when it comes

751
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 7: to Lebron, James and Luka doctch chemistry, it's going to

752
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 7: work out five. JJ Reddick said that Lebron said that,

753
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 7: I think it's more about the rotations and everyone else

754
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 7: around them, as well as their defense post ad. That's

755
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 7: going to be a work of progress.

756
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm so excited.

757
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: Mark.

853
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,839

00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 3: all created to make Twitter clips.

861
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: That's all it is. I mean, it's all for the clips.

862
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: Any single podcast out there, unless you're a stand on

863
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever that podcast is, you're literally just going for like

864
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: the thirty to sixty second social clips to go viral

865
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: and drive people to your site and get brand deals

Speaker 1: playing the what if game if the Chiefs three pete,

910
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: no Lebron, no Luca, and they're still up fifty six

911
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: thirty three right now. So it kind of feels like

912
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: this whole Lakers team has just kind of elevated and

913
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: is playing with that added motivation since all the change

00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,839

Speaker 1: writer Carmen Vitali is joining us live from New Orleans

918
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: in about thirty minutes. But let's get to that NBA

919
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: trade deadline, because this week one of the wildest NBA

920
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: trade deadlines ever and something we're gonna be talking about

921
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: for years to come. And the Lakers, my LA Lakers

922
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: were the heavy hitters, first trading for Luka Doncic and

923
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: then sending ad to the MAVs, a movement shot the

924
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: sports world and the memes have been sending me all week.

925
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Did you go down the rabbit hole of the memes?

926
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: And Almos was hitting gosh I like I I love

927
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: it so much. And then obviously the Lakers capped off

928
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: their week trading for big man Mark Williams, sending their

929
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: first round pick Dalton Connect, which you know he was.

930
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: He's been great, ya, He's been awesome, but.

931
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 4: Short months ago, you just did the draft. According to the.

932
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 1: Whole everybody insane, insane. But Mark Williams, he's twenty three,

933
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: he's kind of having a breakout season now. Yes, he's

934
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: missed sometime in each of his first three seasons, but

935
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be great for Luca to have a big man.

936
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: Both young guys I can grow and develop and really

937
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: be the face of this franchise moving forward for the Lakers.

938
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: But let's dive deeper into the Luca to the Lakers

939
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: and ad to the MAVs trade, because this isn't Where

940
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: were you moment when.

941
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 2: It happened, and.

942
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: No, no I can talk about it. I was backstage

943
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: at my husband's concert. He was playing a fire benefit

944
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: relief show, and one of my best friends were in the.

945
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: Crowd and they were like waving trying to get my attention.

946
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: I was like, what, what check your phone? I was like,

947
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: I what, check your phone?

948
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: And I get out my phone. It's like, excuse me

949
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: what again? Like did not believe it is this real?

950
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: Did Jumps get hacked? Checking all the other credible news sources,

951
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: and again, I don't think it hit me until the

952
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: Lakers were playing the Warriors, and Lebron hit those three

953
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: threes in a row and then had that last three

954
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: from the logo shot and just kind of, you know,

955
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: flexed and held there, and Luca's standing up on the

956
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: sidelines in Lakers gear and I'm like, oh, yeah, he's here,

957
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 1: and this is gonna work, you guys, It's gonna work.

958
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: But like, it still doesn't make sense. There's so many

959
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: things to unpack here. The first big question, why did

960
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: Dallas basically give away a top five player who was

961
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: twenty five years old, hasn't even reached his prime yet,

962
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: was the face of your franchise and the future, and

963
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: the MAVs were in the NBA Finals last year because

964
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: of Luca.

965
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 3: It's the last part that really truly makes it most ridiculous.

966
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: All of it. I mean, we've even seen quotes from

967
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban when he was asked back in twenty twenty.

968
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 2: Like would you ever trade Luca?

969
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: And he's like, you're gonna see me with a divorce

970
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: lawyer getting a divorce before I trade Luca. But you

971
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: have to remember he's not the majority owner anymore. And

972
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: there's a lot of theories. So I love going down

973
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: the conspiracy theory. If it's if it's healthy and harm

974
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: like not harmful to anybody. I love going down to

975
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, if it's fun and like okay, because

976
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: it still does something's fishy. Something does not make sense,

977
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: Like why, I don't think it's just because he's not

978
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: in great shape, and like he likes to have some

979
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: drinks when he's not on.

980
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 2: The court, like so does everybody else.

981
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: So do all of your other athletes, Like excuse me,

982
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: Like you are a million dollar child, You're gonna have

983
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: some fun. That's what they do. Like there's no stopping

984
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: that in moderation. Obviously it wasn't affecting his play on

985
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: the court, and like okay, so he wasn't in like

986
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: or even if.

987
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: It was affecting his play on the court, it wasn't

988
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 3: impacting their ability to exceed the high schools.

989
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: They were in the finals last year, right, because I'm

990
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: thinking about that, like you know, you hear guys you

991
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: some guys were retired.

992
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they had like maybe a drug problem or

993
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 3: a drinking problem or something during their.

994
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 4: Career, but like I never saw it. Why because you

995
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 4: were putting down forty every night?

996
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Metal World Peace was like it was reportedly he

997
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 3: said it several times. You take shots at Hennessy at halftime.

998
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: It's like he talked about it.

999
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you know what I.

1000
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 3: Mean, because if I was taking shuts to Hennessy at

1001
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 3: half time, I'd be down.

1002
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 4: I'll be down on the ground.

1003
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: The goat would be out playing like two rounds of

1004
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: golf before he come to a game. Like he knew

1005
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: he was a party animal, but there wasn't social media

1006
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: back then, so both him and Ronman would like probably

1007
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: just roll into the games and absolutely slay, Like it's

1008
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 1: just as long as you're doing your job.

1009
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: It's But the the thing to me I just keep

1010
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 3: coming back to is when you break the news and

1011
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: everybody thinks it's fake. Yes, like the I have chams

1012
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: on on whatever he tweets. I get a text, right, yeah,

1013
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 3: exactly notifications and so I'm like, no, no, no, this is

1014
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: really his page.

1015
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I just thought somebody got to his phone.

1016
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 3: And then I saw somebody who is uh, you know,

1017
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 3: one one degree of separation from him, and I saw

1018
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 3: from Cham's and I saw that person having like no, no, no,

1019
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 3: this is real. I just talked to him like I

1020
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: was like well, he wouldn't just gass it for no reason,

1021
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 3: so I thought it was so I got over it quickly.

1022
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 3: Kanye West was also on a tweet binge at the

1023
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 3: same tungs like did did Kanye get his phone?

1024
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 7: You know?

1025
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 4: Like how did this? Like what's what's going on here?

1026
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 4: All of this makes no sense.

1027
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: Zero sex, both Kanye sweets and trading Luca die difference, right,

1028
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 3: So zero sense. But I do appreciate now that people

1029
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: are deep diving into like the Texas legislator votes, the ownership.

1030
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's follow the money, because that's always you want.

1031
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: You watch the wire, I've seen it, not like it.

1032
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: I say, you follow the drugs, you get drug dealers.

1033
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 3: You followed the money. You don't know where it's.

1034
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: Going to take exactly. So Luca was eligible for his

1035
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: Supermax contract this summer, worth five years, three hundred and

1036
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: forty five million dollars, and now the most the Lakers

1037
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: can offer Luca an extension this summer's five years, two

1038
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine million dollars. So it's one hundred

1039
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: and sixteen million dollars less than the Supermax. So if

1040
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: you look at from Luca's side, like the other things

1041
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: to considered. Texas doesn't have state income tax, so Luca

1042
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: would have gotten a lot more on that contract. Now,

1043
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: they do have to pay taxes based on the cities

1044
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: that they play in because that's.

1045
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: The jock tax, but also through the property tax in Texas.

1046
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: Insane. Yeah, well that's how they make up for it.

1047
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 4: Jack.

1048
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 2: So there's always there's always something house.

1049
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just he had just bought a fifteen million

1050
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: dollar house a week ago.

1051
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's a quickness. I heard a lot about

1052
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 3: that on the trade deadline. Our NBA players just always

1053
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: buying houses. Do you know what I'm saying? Is that

1054
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: happening frequently? Then we imagine because it's.

1055
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: Like probably, I mean, you got to put your money somewhere.

1056
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: It's stafe in real estate, get some land. But okay,

1057
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money for most people, right, but

1058
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: not when you're casino owners. And the new majority owners

1059
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: of the MAVs are the fourth wealthiest among American sports

1060
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: team owners. They are worth around thirty billion dollars. They're

1061
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: just below FIRSUS Steve Balmer with the Clippers. Second is

1062
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: the Wall and Family Broncos. Third, Dan Gilbert with the Cavs. Fourth.

1063
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: I think it's the Adelson Adelson family with the MAVs.

1064
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm pronouncing their name right, but

1065
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: they own casinos Addison.

1066
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Luca.

1067
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: Was the face and the future of your franchise. You

1068
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: pay that man that Supermax deal. That is chump change

1069
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: for you, which makes you think that there is more.

1070
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: To the story that right there is There's got to

1071
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 2: be more.

1072
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: Even if you listen to what MAVs GM said, their

1073
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: reasoning was, like, we believe defense wins games.

1074
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: So the MAVs.

1075
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: Literally reached out to the Lakers and only the Lakers,

1076
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: asking for Anthony Davis and offered up Luca that like,

1077
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: that does not make sense. If he really wanted to

1078
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: trade the man, you could have gotten a hall for him.

1079
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: You could have even still paid him his Supermax deal

1080
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: and looked for a trade and like had an open

1081
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: market bidding and would have gotten so much more than

1082
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: you got.

1083
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: And you would have had a very acrimonious and awkward

1084
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: period of time, however long it took to get the

1085
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: deal done. Like Anthony Davis in New Orleans, I know, no. Again,

1086
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 3: you probably only cared like when is he coming? Did

1087
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 3: he book his flight yet, Like, but you know that

1088
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 3: was that was a long drawn out period of Anthony

1089
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 3: Davis basically folding his arms and saying, I won't be

1090
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: a Pelican. Trade me to the Lakers, right, So you

1091
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 3: can see something similar to that happening.

1092
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 4: But and there's enough plausible reasons.

1093
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 3: Right, like you know, the deep dive into it, with

1094
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 3: the whole way that the basketball world works with the

1095
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 3: shoe contracts and Nico Harrison being a Nike guy in

1096
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: Polinka being a former agent who was working with Nike guys,

1097
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: and Nico was Kobe's guy.

1098
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even go down that, but that's how they

1099
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: end up having the relationship to make the call.

1100
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 3: In the first place, in my opinion. But I'm not

1101
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 3: saying that has anything to do with his actual deal.

1102
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned the state legislation, Yes, and the family paying

1103
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the lobbyist because they're trying to get

1104
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: a casino.

1105
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 2: They basically want to turn.

1106
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 4: The They want to build a new arena.

1107
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: It's like a casino complex. Yeah, and they're not getting

1108
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: it approved even though they're putting all this money forward.

1109
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: So if you tank get rid of the face of

1110
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: your franchise and you threaten to move the team if

1111
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: they don't give you a casino. You can't do that

1112
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: when you're in the NBA Finals and you have like

1113
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: one of the top five players in the league and you.

1114
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 4: Also came through that when the fan base loves you.

1115
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, right, like oh they hate them now. There

1116
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: are so many MAVs fans in the Lakers comments now

1117
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: like new Laker fan here, let's go Luca, Let's go

1118
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: win a championship.

1119
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: Like that doesn't happen.

1120
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean that doesn't happen often like fans just like okay,

1121
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: done burning the jersey. This is like, no, they are

1122
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: loyal to Luca. Like that fan base was loyal to Luca.

1123
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: They loved Luca more than they love the actual frame.

1124
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 3: How many how how many dogs and cats in the

1125
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: Dallas metroplex area do you think are named Luca?

1126
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

1127
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: So many? You know, like so many. I saw that too,

1128
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: Like what do I do now? I named my dog Luca?

1129
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: You're a Laker fan. Now, that's what happens.

1130
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: It's just a move that would saved like something nefarious.

1131
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 4: Yeah from Luka.

1132
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 3: Doncis right, like if he was I don't know, criminal

1133
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: of some sort, Like there's no does not make sense.

1134
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 3: But there's very I actould say this. The basketball reason

1135
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 3: for this is so poorly constructed.

1136
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: Oh you gained some weight, like you're not working out enough.

1137
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 1: We're done.

1138
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 2: It's like a bad breakup.

1139
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 4: Well, what's done. And Nico Harris has said as much

1140
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 4: at his press conference.

1141
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm thinking about this year and the next year,

1142
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 3: and it's like in four years ago.

1143
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: Well, Anthony Davis also, now you just reported this like

1144
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: he was in the locker room getting checked on.

1145
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 4: He's injury prone, has not played, has not come back

1146
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 4: out yet.

1147
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 2: He's injury prone.

1148
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: You guys.

1149
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: But I'm just if you just take when Nico Harrison

1150
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 3: said as as fact, right, he truly believes it. He's dead,

1151
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 3: He's absolutely right. In four years yeah, I'm fired regardless. Yeah, right,

1152
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 3: Like he's absolutely right.

1153
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: The win now, but Luca is your best chance to

1154
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: win now.

1155
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 4: I don't disht I agree. I'm not. I'm just saying

1156
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get inside the man's head.

1157
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: It makes no it's trying.

1158
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 4: To understand he was the puppet.

1159
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: He was the puppet of the new ownership something, but

1160
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: it was not his call.

1161
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 3: That's what makes the most sense to me because this

1162
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 3: is not his the Mark Cuban that I again, I

1163
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: never met the man, but the Mark Clean and I

1164
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 3: am familiar with over the last twenty.

1165
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: Really, Oh yeah, he's a he's got to play an MB.

1166
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 4: Well, there's no chance he would. I don't know.

1167
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 3: He would buy a Manhattan beach before he would have

1168
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 3: to trade Luca DNCS like he would rather do that.

1169
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: He said, you're gonna find me with my divorce like

1170
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: a divorce lawyer before I trade Luca. And there were

1171
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: even text messages of players reading out like hey, I'm confused,

1172
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: and he said that makes two of us, like he

1173
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: did not have a say in this.

1174
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 2: So this was not Cuban. But he's not the majority

1175
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 2: of it.

1176
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 4: I do, I do.

1177
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: I'll say this, I'm not the conspiracy theory guy. My

1178
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 3: tenfoil hat does fit. I took it off a while

1179
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: a couple of years back. But I would just say

1180
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting to see in about two and

1181
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 3: a year and a half if this Dallas team is

1182
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 3: the one that is rumored to be the one.

1183
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 4: To jump to Vegas.

1184
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean your owners are casino owners. It's it's

1185
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: not that deep of a theory why.

1186
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 4: Dallas is the fourth largest city in America.

1187
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 3: There's no rationale why they would want to move this

1188
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: team to Vegas, which has already been the Vegas don't

1189
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,479
Speaker 3: even want the damn baseball team.

1190
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 4: They got no right, And it's cool. I got the

1191
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 4: the Ages play there in Mandalay Bay. That works, right.

1192
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 4: The WNBA works, and you know, the hockey team works.

1193
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 4: NFL works.

1194
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 3: But NFL also works in part I think because everybody

1195
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 3: goes to watch their team play in Vegas.

1196
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 4: I don't know that's not happening on a Tuesday night

1197
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 4: in the NBA. No, like we've seen the NBA Cup

1198
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 4: try to be in Vegas.

1199
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: It's insane, But like can we Let's let's take a

1200
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: look at the Lakers side of this trade, because the

1201
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: Lakers make their biggest moves in trades when you go

1202
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: back in history, right, they traded for Wilt Chamberlain in

1203
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: the sixties, won a championship, traded for Kareem in the seventies,

1204
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: then traded for the Magic draft pick in seventy nine.

1205
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 2: Then Magic was a face in the eighties.

1206
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: Magic and Kareem went on to win five championships in

1207
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: the nineties and two thousands, traded for Kobe at the

1208
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: ninety six draft, then signed Shack as a free agent

1209
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: in ninety.

1210
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 2: Six the Kobe Shack three Pete.

1211
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: Then in two thousand and eight traded for Pau Gasol

1212
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: won two championships, twenty eighteen signed Lebron James, won championship,

1213
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: and now in twenty twenty five trade for Luca. This

1214
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: one fell definitely in the Lakers lap. They just were

1215
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 1: extremely lucky. But this is again what the Lakers do.

1216
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna find a way to steal your girl. And

1217
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: that's like the benefits of not only being one of

1218
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: the biggest names and franchises in sports, like Lakers is

1219
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: a global brand, but la is also a top market

1220
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: sports market. This is so insane, like it is just

1221
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 1: so beautiful and insane, but they just got their face

1222
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: of the.

1223
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 2: Future absolutely fell into their lap.

1224
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 3: And I wish I I always want to give my

1225
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 3: phone on brod because if anybody else is calling offering

1226
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 3: deals like this, call me, because I'll answer anybody calls.

1227
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 4: Answers the phone. I answered the phone, No call already,

1228
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 4: I'll pick it up. Yeah, I answer the phone. Whillever call.

1229
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 4: So I almost I'm almost that close may don't tweet

1230
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 4: it out.

1231
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: No, this is the only way this doesn't work for

1232
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 3: the Lakers is if Luka Doncic is an extra well and.

1233
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 4: Beat No, that's it.

1234
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen. That's the only not gonna happen.

1235
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: He's now playing with Lebron, one of the greatest players

1236
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: of all time, who not only takes great care of

1237
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: his body, but like also has a great time. He

1238
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: talks about drinking and tequila and his wine all the time.

1239
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: This is the perfect role model for Luca to learn

1240
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: how to be leader both on and off the court.

1241
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1242
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 3: I just I think that's the only way that it

1243
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 3: doesn't work. Because I just said this, there's two ways

1244
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: it works. Yeah, Dallas wins two of the next three

1245
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 3: NBA championships or Luka Doncic just plays I don't know,

1246
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 3: forty games over the next three years.

1247
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen exactly.

1248
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1249
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 4: I don't think either one of those things is a

1250
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 4: realistic possible.

1251
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: Because Luka Doncic is going to go through the Lebron

1252
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: James training workshop. He's going to teach him how to

1253
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: take care of his body and be able to have

1254
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: fun on and off the court, but understand the public

1255
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: image of.

1256
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: It, because there is a way to go about it.

1257
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 4: You know what.

1258
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: And he's going to teach him how to He's a.

1259
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 4: Question I should have asked Medina.

1260
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 3: Lebron has had a standard, right, a standard of how

1261
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 3: everything is going. But when you're Luca and you've been

1262
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: the best player on your team and the prodigy, and

1263
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 3: you've been tagged as a virtual Wilshaw your whole life,

1264
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 3: at that point, the standard has to come from, in general,

1265
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 3: my opinion, the best player on the team, the most

1266
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 3: important player on the team, has to set the standard

1267
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 3: of how.

1268
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 4: We're doing things.

1269
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 6: Right.

1270
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lebron still, I think has the respect of Luca

1271
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 3: to be able to set the standard while Luca will

1272
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 3: be better than him. Okay, well, I think Lebron still

1273
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 3: has that gravitasta.

1274
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: I actually want to dive into this because I love

1275
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: this question. We're going to take a quick break here.

1276
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're just going to continue this

1277
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: Luca conversation. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back

1278

Speaker 1: for spending your Saturday afternoon with us. Shortly after the show,

1282
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: our podcast will be going out just search Fox Sports

1283
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: Radio wherever you get your podcasts, and we're continuing our

1284
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: Luca to the Lakers conversation and why I believe it's

1285
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna work. And what I said a moment ago was

1286
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: now he gets because his biggest knock was that what

1287
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: he's not in shape and his lifestyle off the course.

1288
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: Well now, I mean, honestly though his biggest knock was

1289
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 3: kind of having that meltdown in the finals.

1290
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 4: This out of shape started after the trade. Like if

1291
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 4: you had asked me two days, like on Friday of

1292
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 4: last week, is Luca dodgets out of shape? You be

1293
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 4: in better shape, but.

1294
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: Paid like millions of dollars to be your to be

1295
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: in shape? Like I get that. But now he gets

1296
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: to learn from the greatest player to play the game

1297
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: during our time. Right now, hopefully he goes through the

1298
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: Lebron training workshop, Who's going to teach him how to

1299
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: take care of his body, still be able to have

1300
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: fun off the course, off the court. But like understand

1301
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: the public image of it all because Lebron loves his

1302
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,959
Speaker 1: wine and Tequila talks about it in postgame interviews. Another

1303
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: thing to remember, Luca is Lebron's favorite player. He's openly

1304
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: talked about that. He tried to get him back in

1305
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And I thought this beforehand, but we're already

1306
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: seeing it happen to.

1307
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 3: Get him to sign it to his shoe company. Yeah, yeah,

1308
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 3: just to clarify, thank you.

1309
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 4: I guess.

1310
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:44,479
Speaker 1: This is motivating Lebron even more. I think Lebron's last

1311
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: championship is going to be Luca's first.

1312
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 3: Because to your point, the conversation at the start of

1313
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 3: this season was does drafting Briny James energize Lebron? Does

1314
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 3: it make him want to go out?

1315
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: You know, that was one of the things, Like, well,

1316
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: I think that was a check and like now he

1317
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: could retire if he wanted to. This just added a

1318
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: whole new level for Lebron, and we, like we already

1319
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: saw it. He just became the only player, along with

1320
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, to score forty points in a game as

1321
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: a forty year old. Like he also became the youngest

1322
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: and oldest player in NBA history to score forty plus

1323
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,439
Speaker 1: points at nineteen and forty years old, like and he's

1324
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: still like at forty one of the best players on

1325
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: the sport.

1326
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 3: I think conservatively a top fifteen player in the league

1327
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 3: right now, which is like may sound like an insult,

1328
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 3: but it's definitely not when you can settle the fact that,

1329
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 3: like my knees hurt right now, you know, my back.

1330
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Hurts, like we're under forty and I get it. Like

1331
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: once you hit thirty five, it's like, oh, now I

1332
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: know what people were talking about. Like everything hurts after

1333
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: a hard workout, yes, and that's just a normal hard workout.

1334
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: This isn't like every single day like putting your body

1335
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: through the ultimate test.

1336
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 2: Like I this is gonna work. This is gonna work.

1337
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 4: I mean it asked, well, why would it not?

1338
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think it works for both of them because again,

1339
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Luca now has kind of a mentor, right and Lebron

1340
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: loves Luca so much. This is the perfect like after

1341
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: like I can already like see this moment and I

1342
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: love it so much.

1343
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 2: Like when they.

1344
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Win their first championship together, Lebron is gonna like take

1345
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: his crown and put.

1346
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 4: It up, put it on Luca. That'll be that'll be

1347
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 4: the last game Lebron.

1348
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Play Like I said, Lebron's last championship is gonna be

1349
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Luca's first, and it's gonna be iconic. He's just calling it.

1350
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: I just like I see it.

1351
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 3: Brian's gonna be sitting there like, Wow, what a.

1352
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Dude. He had a heart fall.

1353
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 4: I did as I had a hard.

1354
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 2: Time watching that.

1355
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: He had a dunk and fell off the raind you

1356
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: guys and just like whacked the floor.

1357
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 3: Do you know what though, My biggest takeaway from watching

1358
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 3: that after he got up obviously, Yeah, there's a big

1359
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 3: difference between you g league in the NBA. Uh huh,

1360
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 3: A massive differences with the size of the guys out there,

1361
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 3: Like these guys look small.

1362
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, all right, Martin working double duty. Tell us

1363
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: what's trending.

1364
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 3: There's only one thing truly trending right now. That's Anthony

1365
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 3: Davis still in the locker room.

1366
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I felt like, are we surprised?

1367
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 2: This is a knock on?

1368
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 4: Ad Nico Harrison might be surprised. I saw it all part.

1369
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Of the planet's working.

1370
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: I saw it tweet how my buddy Mike Curtis works

1371
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 3: for the Dallas News.

1372
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he reported.

1373
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 3: That I'm still waiting for him to report that somebody

1374
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 3: came back out of the locker room, but somebody replied

1375
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 3: to him and says Ryano says, it's much more enjoyable

1376
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 3: watching a well conditioned player have an injury instead of

1377
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 3: an out of shape player have an injury. Thank you

1378
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 3: Nico for improving the watching experience. That's probably the calmest

1379
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 3: and safest tweet.

1380
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 4: That I could read about this moment. But the score

1381
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 4: Mavericks looked.

1382
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 3: Like they'll probably still take the win home here one

1383
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 3: ten to one one with just under a minute left

1384
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 3: left in the game, up one oh three, now one

1385
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 3: ten to one oh three.

1386
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis still the high.

1387
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: Man for Dallas, even know they will play thirty one minutes.

1388

Speaker 4: in the nation, down fifteen right now. Florida's ranked sixth.

Speaker 3: Haggis In Earlier today, we saw Kentucky be South Carolina,

1409

Speaker 3: Wisconsin over Iowa, Michigan, Indiana and Kansas State upset Kansas.

1410
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 3: Kansas now seven and five and Big twelve play that maverage.

1411
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,880

1416
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: live from the tark dot Com studios in Los Angeles.

1417
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 2: It's time for our next guest.

1418
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: You know her, you lover, live from New Orleans, my

1419
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: co host and NFL and Fox writer Carmen Vitally. Hi, guys,

1420
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Hi carm You've been living it up all week in

1421
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans for Super Bowl. Give us the vibes because

1422
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: obviously we.

1423
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 5: Both read there, you hear it, You're here?

1424
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: No, are we on bourbon? Are we currently raging at

1425
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: a bar? Because I love that for you?

1426
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 5: No, we are. We are not right now. We've done

1427
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 5: a lot of that this week already. They actually shut

1428
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 5: down much of the Central Business district this morning as

1429
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 5: we were trying to check out of a hotel to

1430
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 5: move elsewhere. Whoa and there was a parade going first.

1431
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 8: Yes, I saw that.

1432
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 5: I saw that, and like everything was shut down. I

1433
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 5: was like, in theory, this is great. In practice, it's

1434
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 5: a nightmare. So it's extremely busy. Yesterday I think was

1435
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 5: the day that a majority of the people got in

1436
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 5: because all of a sudden, the city just flipped a

1437
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 5: whole other switch and it's buzzing.

1438
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 2: I love that so much.

1439
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so we haven't fully dove in on this yet.

1440
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs are going for the first Super Bowl three pet

1441
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow where do you fall in all this do the

1442
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: do you kind of have that Chief fatigue?

1443
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 2: Or would you love to witness history and greatness?

1444
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 5: I mean, Chefs fatigue or not. I've learned not to

1445
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 5: spend against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes as part of

1446
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs. I learned my lesson last year

1447
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 5: when they suffered the most drops of any offense in

1448
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 5: the league and still won the Super Bowl. So it's

1449
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 5: far until I'm proven wrong, until they don't do it.

1450
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 5: I'm riding with the Chiefs until the wheels fall. But

1451
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 5: I do think the Eagles are going to give them

1452
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 5: an excellent game. I mean, this is such a powerful,

1453
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 5: potent offense led by Saquon Barkley playing the best football

1454
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,959
Speaker 5: of his career, but they have so many different ways

1455
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 5: to beat you. Even outside of Sakuon. You've got a

1456
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 5: fully healthy Jalen Hurts who can run the ball. You've

1457
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 5: got a j Brown over the top, Davonte Smith who's

1458
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 5: kind of an after thought in this offense, Dallas Goddard,

1459
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 5: you name it, behind one of the best offensive lines

1460
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 5: in football. So I really do think that they're going

1461
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 5: to score some points and the Chiefs are going to

1462
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 5: have to keep up with it. They didn't score a

1463
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 5: whole lot of points. I mean, they were fifteenth in

1464
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,479
Speaker 5: scoring offense this year in the regular season, so they're

1465
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 5: going to need to keep up. But I mean, they're

1466
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs, and they've got an entirely different

1467
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 5: set of rules and a completely different different playbook in

1468
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 5: the postseason, courtesy of Andy Reid and all the work

1469
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 5: he puts in.

1470
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 3: So having been down there being around just generally, I'm

1471
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 3: curious the people that you see, you see more red?

1472
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 4: Are you seeing more green? Just in the crowds around there.

1473
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm curious how who's down there more because you would

1474
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: think there might be Chiefs fan fatigue. Actually i'd be

1475
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 3: broke after the last two Super Bowls.

1476
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I don't even know so much

1477
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 5: if it's fatigue. As it is, people just don't have

1478
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 5: the money anymore, because it is not it's not a

1479
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 5: cheap ticket, it's not a cheap flight, there's not cheap

1480
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 5: hotel rooms. I actually I have seen a lot more green,

1481
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 5: I will say so it's a lot of the go

1482
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 5: birth crowd is is much more vocal, and we just

1483
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 5: actually saw a bus going down Canal Street this morning.

1484
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 5: That was a not only was it wrapped in all

1485
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 5: Eagles players and Eagles logos and everything like that, but

1486
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 5: it was actually the Dallas Sucks bust.

1487
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 3: So actual game question for you, which unit take? I

1488
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 3: mean quarterback aside because that's just one person, but unit

1489
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 3: between offensive line, my receivers, defensive backs, whatever, which unit

1490
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 3: do you think is going to be the most important

1491
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 3: for whoever is you end up thanks winning this game

1492
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 3: to Kansas City.

1493
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 5: For line, yeahide, Kansas City. I really do think that

1494
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 5: it's going to come down to Patrick Mahomes being able

1495
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 5: to create You think that. Listen, Joe Tuney kicking out

1496
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 5: the left tackle has sustained the Chiefs. They had injuries there,

1497
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 5: they had, They've had a revolving door at tackle on

1498
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,600
Speaker 5: both sides of the line. They've had one of the

1499
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 5: best interior offensive lines in football. But you took one

1500
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 5: of those guys and he kicked him out to the

1501
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 5: left side and he has filled in admirably. But you

1502
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,959
Speaker 5: just wonder how that's going to fare against the Chiefs

1503
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 5: front seven, in particular, that is really good at getting pressure,

1504
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 5: at using some of those simulated pressures. I really think

1505
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 5: that it's going to be up to, you know, Mahomes

1506
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 5: doing the Mahomes things. But if you're constantly trying to

1507
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 5: if you're constantly containing him, that's going to be that

1508
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 5: much harder. So I do think that that's what it's

1509
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 5: going to come down to for the Chiefs, but I

1510
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 5: also have faith that they're going.

1511
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 7: To be able to do it.

1512
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Now, we know the offensive stars these teams have, but

1513
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: they both have top five defenses too, So do you

1514
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: think this game is going to be like an offensive

1515
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: explosion back and forth or defensive chess match?

1516
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 5: As much as I love both of these defenses, I

1517
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 5: just I really do think with the capabilities that the

1518
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Eagles have, I do think they'll push the Chiefs

1519
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 5: to have to score points. So I do kind of

1520
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 5: envision them maybe a little bit more of a high

1521
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 5: scoring game now now that I've said that they will

1522
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 5: watch it be this kind of a chess match between

1523
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 5: Vic Fangio and Steve Spagnolo between these two guys who are,

1524
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 5: you know, very familiar with each other. Yeah, they're bested

1525
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 5: veteran coordinators in the league, and I mean, Fangio has

1526
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 5: really elevated this team in Philadelphia once he was installed

1527
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 5: by Nick Sirianni. Both of those coordinators under Sirianni have

1528
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 5: after he took over that CEO type role. So it's

1529
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 5: going to be really interesting because, I mean, Fangio is

1530
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 5: no stranger to Patch Mahomes, what he can do, how

1531
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 5: this offense operates. But the biggest thing about the Chiefs,

1532
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 5: which I alluded to before, they just don't behave in

1533
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 5: the postseason like they do in the regular season. There's

1534
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 5: very little you can do to prepare for the Chiefs

1535
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 5: in the postseason because they just do things that they

1536
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 5: haven't done all Year's.

1537
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 3: So good Brandon Graham coming back from injury, it looks

1538
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 3: like he's questionable. Everything I've seen looks like he's tracking

1539
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 3: to play at least a.

1540
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Few snaps in the Super Bowl.

1541
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 3: Be a impact blood, be a player who expected to

1542
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 3: make an impact there. Now you can juxtappose that with

1543
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 3: Chris Jones on the other side, is one of the

1544
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 3: if not the best defensive tackle in the NFL.

1545
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 4: It's a short list, and he's on it.

1546
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 3: When you look at these defensive lines, especially you look

1547
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 3: at Kansas City and how Patrick Mahomes will scramble in

1548
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 3: big moments, that's something he normally does. And then the

1549
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 3: tush push with the Philly side of things, which are

1550
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 3: these defensive lines you think has the advantage.

1551
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 5: That's tough fun because I think that they're both really,

1552
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 5: really good. And you talk about Chris Jones the Kansas

1553
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 5: City Chiefs, but you look at that divisional round and

1554
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 5: that was George Carloss going off exactly. So he's become

1555
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 5: a defensive corner stone. The last time these two teams

1556
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 5: faced off the Super Bowl two years ago, George carl

1557
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 5: Office was a rookie and he's evolved since then. And again,

1558
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 5: Seatspalo knows when to dial things up and especially when

1559
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 5: you don't expect it. But I mean this Eagles defensive line,

1560
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 5: and you talk about Brandon Graham, who's kind of the

1561
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 5: glue guy at this point because it's this late in

1562
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 5: his career. I have no doubt in my mind that

1563
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 5: he's going to get on the field in some way,

1564
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 5: shape or form, given the fact that he's just everybody's

1565
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 5: favorite Eagle at this point. Long a tenured Eagle, he's

1566
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 5: been with them forever. But you have guys like Jalen

1567
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 5: Carter in the middle there that he's incredible out of

1568
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 5: Georgia and has just really come into his own and

1569
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 5: he really occupies so much space on that interior. And

1570
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 5: they have the guys behind him too that can back

1571
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 5: up up guys like Zack Bahn that have just thrived

1572
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 5: in Vicsangio's defense. After nothing much actually here in New Orleans,

1573
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 5: he posts a picture from the Saint's locker room, which

1574
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 5: is what the Eagles are using, and as they get

1575
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 5: ready for the game, and it's the same locker room

1576
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 5: he was just in, except his face is now plastered

1577
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 5: in it in an Eagles jersey. He's plastered on the

1578
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 5: walls in an Eagles jersey. He said, it's really really

1579
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 5: bizarre to be back in that same locker room but

1580
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 5: see his face in a different jersey. But he's been

1581
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 5: phenomenal for them just all over, you know, that middle level.

1582
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 5: Now that he's moved to inside backer and he can

1583
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 5: still though be a factor in the path throw. So

1584
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 5: I really don't have an answer for you, Martin. I

1585
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 5: love both of these defensive lines so much.

1586
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Loves defense, I do.

1587
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 5: I love defense. I grew up in Chicago. I didn't

1588
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 5: have a lot of offense to watch, so defense I'm

1589
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 5: a defensive girl. But I just mostly I love the lineman.

1590
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 5: Defensive or offensive lineman. That's where the game is won

1591
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 5: and lost.

1592
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So Saquon Barkley has had one of the best

1593
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: seasons for a running back ever, just one Offensive Player

1594
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: of the Year. There's been a lot of talk he

1595
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: probably should have been MVP. But if the Eagles pull

1596
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: this off, will he be the reason?

1597
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean this offense starts and ends with Saquon,

1598
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 5: And that's the difference in what this team is now

1599
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 5: versus two years ago when they faced the Chiefs in

1600
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl. It's a difference between you know, going

1601
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 5: as far as they did this season versus being disappointed

1602
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 5: last year. Squan is the engine that makes this entire

1603
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 5: thing go, and teams are going to try to focus

1604
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 5: the cancase. Teams are going to try to focus on

1605
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 5: stopping the run. But Saquon Barkley is one of the

1606
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 5: best at running into loaded boxes. He's one of the

1607
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 5: best at breaking tackles, he's one of the best at

1608
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 5: yards after contact. He's been that way all season. So

1609
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 5: there's just not a whole lot slowing him down. And

1610
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 5: with this much motivation, I don't think that anybody's really

1611
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 5: gonna be able to be able to do that. Can

1612
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 5: you shut down the other aspects of their offense too?

1613
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,879
Speaker 5: It's the Eagles are a really formidable opponent, and honestly,

1614
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 5: if it wasn't for whatever Chiefs voodoo there has been

1615
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 5: over the last couple of years, if it wasn't for

1616
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 5: last season and the Chiefs winning with you know, in

1617
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 5: a down year, I've been taking the Eagles all day.

1618
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 5: But I just I can't get past. I can't. I

1619
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 5: can't go back on my promise to myself this season,

1620
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 5: going like you're not going to bet against Kansas City.

1621
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 5: You're just not going to do it.

1622
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 1: This year, So take it.

1623
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 2: Your Super Bowl prediction is.

1624
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 5: He's sober, Eagles thirty three, thirty one.

1625
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: And your MVP.

1626
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 5: It's a great question.

1627
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: Probably it's I mean, it's the truth. If they do it,

1628
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: it's going to be because of some incredible play he

1629
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: makes at the end.

1630
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 4: There, I'm with Carl. I completely agree with the idea.

1631
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 3: It's like I made a promise to myself in August

1632
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 3: that I wasn't going to do this, and now that

1633
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 3: we're here, it very much feels like I'm at dinner

1634
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at the restaurant there and I wasn't

1635
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 3: going to eat the dessert.

1636
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 4: I said, it wasn't going to do it, but.

1637
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: They have.

1638
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 4: So good it's a go.

1639
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,920

Speaker 8: It is a Super Bowl. We have York Kansas City

1659
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 8: Chiefs one half point favorites versus your Philadelphia Eagles. There

1660
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 8: there is no home or away team minus the Jerseys,

1661
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 8: but one half point favorite Chiefs.

1662
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 4: Alex, who you going?

1663
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I have not given away my pick yet, but

1664
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: we've talked about it a lot on the show. Right,

1665
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 1: if you're not a Chiefs or Eagles fan, you're gonna

1666
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: like it's a win win in this Super Bowl, You're

1667
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: gonna see greatness. So I want to see Saquon Barkley

1668
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 1: have a mic drop, iconic end of a season. But

1669
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: I also want to witness history, and I root for greatness,

1670
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: especially when you're living through it, and when you have

1671
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahome and Andy Reid and Travis Kelsey in their

1672
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: prime doing what they do best. I can't bet against

1673
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: them until someone proves that they can compete. So I'm

1674
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: taking the Chiefs in a one score game tomorrow.

1675
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 4: I picked the Chiefs to cover the spread in August.

1676
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,480
Speaker 3: I picked them in September, I picked them in November, December,

1677
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 3: and I'll go ahead and pick them again in January

1678
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 3: and February. I think Kansas City wins the Super Bowl.

1679
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 2: Hey, but you wanted You said you were flirting with

1680
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:26,560
Speaker 2: the Eagles.

1681
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 3: No, I won't say Quon Barkley to do well, because

1682
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't like it when people

1683
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 3: go on to in it and say you can't pay

1684
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 3: running backs, because yeah, like.

1685
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 8: Stop out of here, shut up, get urge. All right,

1686
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 8: Well that was the game. But we do have some

1687
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 8: prop bets for everybody.

1688
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: We love it.

1689
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 4: We love the prop bets.

1690
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 8: Well, here's the first one here, speaking of Saquon the

1691
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 8: over under. Let's take the over unders here, guys, Oh,

1692
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 8: what is it? One hundred and eleven and a half

1693
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 8: rushing yards? Are we going over?

1694
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: Are the I am going over? I think Saquon goes

1695
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:02,440
Speaker 1: off in the biggest moment of his career on his birthday,

1696
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: and if the Eagles pull this off, Saquon Barkley will

1697
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: be the Super Bowl MVP.

1698
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

1699
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: I don't think the Eagles pull this off, and so

1700
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 3: I'm going to go under eleven yards because I think

1701
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 3: sae Quon runs wild they win the game. I don't

1702
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 3: think they're going to win, so unfortunately, Saquon.

1703
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 4: Well that wild. All right, We'll go with the down under. Well,

1704
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 4: we got the next one up.

1705
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 8: It is going to mahomes here passing touchdowns for mister Patty.

1706
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 8: One and a half over under on passing touchdowns.

1707
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm going over, but I'm also hoping for like an

1708
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: offensive explosion style game, back and forth touchdowns. But because

1709
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: these are two of the top top defenses, I don't

1710
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: know if that's gonna happen. But I do think Mahomes

1711
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,919
Speaker 1: is gonna get over one and a half passing touchdowns.

1712
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go under here because I think he runs

1713
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 3: one in in the short red zone.

1714
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and you don't think.

1715
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,799
Speaker 3: Because this is just passing touchdowns, just passing touchdowns.

1716
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's only gonna throw one passing touchdown.

1717
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 4: I think he scores two, throws one and then we

1718
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 4: see it.

1719
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 2: Taking it himself. Yeah, so who's the one Kelsey?

1720
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably either that. I think we see Xavier Worthy

1721
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 4: score rushing.

1722
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 2: I think no, I think Xavier is going to catch one. Okay, well, speaking.

1723
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 8: You said Kelsey there, Yeah, we do have an over

1724
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,839
Speaker 8: under for catches for mister Kelsey.

1725
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 4: Six and a half are going over under.

1726
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 8: I do.

1727
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: I think you know the theme of my prop bets.

1728
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: I'm taking the over. Like I said, I'm hoping for

1729
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,799
Speaker 1: a crazy offensive game, and we know Kelsey is mahomes

1730
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:37,480
Speaker 1: favorite target. They have the most touchdown for a quarterback

1731
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 1: pass catching do in playoff history, and they're going to

1732
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: keep that going.

1733
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 3: Kelsey is the only Kansas City player I'm even considering

1734
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 3: taking unders on that. I think that he's gonna have

1735
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 3: a bad game. Six is a lot of catches for

1736
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 3: a guy. I think that he ends up with a touchdown.

1737
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 3: Five catches like sixty five yards, but again the touchdown

1738
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 3: that seals the game.

1739
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we talked about Kelsey.

1740
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 8: What about his girl, Oh you're under being shown on

1741
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 8: TV six and a half.

1742
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 3: No, I'm squarely over because, yeah, all five Chelsea receptions

1743
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,799
Speaker 3: going into the half pregame six and a half.

1744
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: He anthem, They're gonna show her during the anthem. They're

1745
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 1: gonna show it right before kickoff. They're gonna show her

1746
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: dancing to Kendrick Lamar at halftime, and anytime they showed Travis,

1747
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna show Taylor after.

1748
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 2: It is a hard over.

1749
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: Plus, she's like top three selling points for a lot

1750
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: of people watching this game.

1751
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:30,919
Speaker 2: You got the game, you got Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar.

1752
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 3: Especially if it's from start of game to end the game.

1753
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 4: If you count pre game and all that, you will

1754
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 4: catch us before the game kicks off. Yeah all right,

1755
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 4: wait real quick. We got two more, but I'm gonna

01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go orange, and I'm gonna go heads.

1759
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 4: I'm going blue and tails.
