1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Fox Sports and welcome, ladies and gentlemen. It's me Jason

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: McIntyre coming to you live from the Geico Fox Sports

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, where do we even begin with last

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: night's sporting events. Oh my goodness, I'm so thankful that

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: sports are back. For about four hours last night, none

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: of the outside crap mattered, no election, no politics, no

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Nothing. It was a game five in Major

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: League Baseball. It was Game five in the NBA Finals.

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Could the Yankees prevail? Could the Lakers get Lebron another title?

12
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: And oh my gosh, it was so glorious, so unbelievably glorious.

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, at the end of the day,

14
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: both my teams lost. The Yankees for the second year

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: in a row, our oldest Chapman, their flamethrowing closure, gives

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: up a home run late in the game, and the

17
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: Yankees are eliminated. Second year in a row sucks. And

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: now baseball is left with raise astros like Tampa Bay

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: has no fan base, and everyone hates the Houston Astros.

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: That's rough for baseball. But then the NBA Finals came along,

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and like, I didn't think it could get much better

22
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: than that. Yankees raised game. Honestly, even if you're not

23
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: a baseball fan, I consider myself a casual baseball fan

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: at this point. That was a great game. And then

25
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: you go to the NBA and I feel bad for

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the people who were like, oh, I'm done with the NBA.

27
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I can't watch it, and I know the ratings have

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: been bad, and who cares if you like competition and

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: you like basketball all and you like superstars going at

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: it for I don't know. Basically, the better part of

31
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: three hours you could see the exhausted faces of Lebron,

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, and folks. That was a classic, an instant classic.

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Lakers lose. I was all ready to come in here

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: with a coronation. I've got my Lebron Jordan's I've got

35
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: an entire document worth of notes for Lebron passing Jordan.

36
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I was ready, and Lebron delivered. Lebron. We know what

37
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: he does in close out games. He was phenomenal last night.

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: I think I could make the argument that Lebron James

39
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: had one of his best ever playoff games in defeat,

40
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: forty six for nine from deep, thirteen rebounds, seven assists,

41
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: three steals. I'm fairly certainly made all his fourth quarter

42
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: free throws and he hasn't missed one or two games,

43
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: and he should have had an eighth assists because let's

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: begin the show here. Okay, Lebron made the right decision.

45
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: You can't even argue that with a straight face. If

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: you want to be a hater and you want to

47
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: go on social media and try to troll people and

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: get under their skin and piss them off, yeah, you'll say, oh,

49
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Lebron should have shot that? Did you shoot that? We

50
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: had three guys on him because the play basically called

51
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: for Hey, we know what they're doing. Lebron's unstoppable, he's

52
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: dominating this game. Let's throw everybody on the team at him,

53
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: and Lebron drove, and that's exactly what happened. The entire

54
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Miami Heat team followed Lebron to the basket, basically everybody,

55
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and I think Andrea Goodala went to Anton Davis. So

56
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Lebron made the right pass. There are no ways around that, folks.

57
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Danny Green was as wide open as an NBA player

58
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: can be. And Danny Green, I think he makes between

59
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: seven and eight million dollars a year and he gets

60
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: paid so that he can make threes and defend on

61
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: the wing. And Danny Green missed a shot. And you know,

62
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: I put on my little Instagram stories that an image

63
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: of Danny Green and how no defender was within at

64
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: least six or seven ft of them. Somebody was, you know,

65
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: gasping at air at the foul line, lunging at Danny

66
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Green when he was wide open, and he short armed it.

67
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think this is one of those shots if

68
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers somehow collapse in the series and don't win it,

69
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: and I think they will win the series, not collapse,

70
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Danny Green is gonna have nightmares about the shot for

71
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: probably thirty years or the rest of his life. I mean,

72
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: that's a series clincher if he hits that shot. Now,

73
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: I know there's seven seconds left and maybe Jimmy Bucketts

74
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: comes down, but I think the heat were out of

75
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: time outs, and it would have been a mad dash.

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Can we get the ball inbounds? Can we get Duncan Robbins,

77
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, like it it was just then it was

78
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: all set up for Danny Green, but then it was

79
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: compounded by Markeith Morris, who because every heat player was

80
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: under the basket, Mark Keith Morris easily gets the rebound

81
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: and at this point he's got some options. He's like, oh,

82
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: I can hand it to Danny Green, who can miss

83
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: again because we know he struggled mightily in the bubble.

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: And again, I've talked about Danny Green on the show.

85
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: He lives near me, maybe like ten houses away, and

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: he's a super nice guy. See him walking his dogs

87
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. Ah, he shot on threes in this series.

88
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, he's down to uh feels way lower

89
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: than that. And you know, Danny Green wasn't horrible last night.

90
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: He didn't make a couple threes, but he missed the

91
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: one that mattered. But then but Mark Keith Morris like

92
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: has a chance and we can hand it back to

93
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Danny Green. He get a tone for that error. No,

94
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: he didn't didn't do that. There was k c p

95
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: who was also open and Markis Morris panicked away like

96
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: a young athlete would in youth sports. I gotta rebound.

97
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what do I do? What do I do.

98
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: What do you could see? I had like the happy feet.

99
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: He's panicking, how much time we cannot we don't have

100
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: a time out. Lebron was open on the wing, but

101
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: it I mean, I can't expect markif Morris to make

102
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: that pass. Um a great point guard. If Rondo had

103
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: collected that rebound, then Rondo byby makes that pass and

104
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: sees Lebron wide open, but he panics and lobs it

105
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: up to Anthony Davis, who unbelievably was in good position.

106
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: But it was the worst pass ever. I mean, Minute

107
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Bowl could not have caught that. George Murisson, the seven

108
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: ft seven legend, could not have caught that pass. Taco Fall,

109
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Taco Fall, seven seven. He's not

110
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: holding that in. It was just such an awful pass

111
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: by Markis Morris, and the Lakers loose. And that's one

112
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: of those games where you're just like, wow, that that was.

113
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm just happy I witnessed that. It was phenomenal. Jimmy

114
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Butler was incredible and and folks, I came on the

115
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: show two years ago before Kauai went to the Raptors,

116
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: and I made a compelling argument why I would take

117
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler over Kawhi Leonard. This is before Kawhi Leonard

118
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: won the title with the Raptors, before he'd even gone

119
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: to the Raptors. And I looked at it and I'm like, yeah,

120
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: I want this guy. He's a warrior. Jimmy Butler will

121
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: go to the trenches. He will do whatever it takes

122
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: at both ends. He will never back down from anyone.

123
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: He mixed it up with Dwight Howard. He's not afraid

124
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: of Lebron. I mean, when he got the ball to

125
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: put the heat up with I guess it was like

126
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds. He he had Lebron on him and went

127
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: right to the rim, got to the foul line. Doesn't

128
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: miss free throws. I looked this up. Jimmy Butler, who

129
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: by the way, finished with a triple double thirty twelve

130
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and eleven, had five steals. I mean, Jimmy Butler was amazing.

131
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: I tried to find out how many free throws he's

132
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: missed in the series, and Jimmy Butler's forty six of

133
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: fifty from the foul line in this series. I mean, folks,

134
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: this was an epic performance. And you know, Gavin if

135
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: later in the show, we want to do top ten

136
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: players in the NBA right now. I know you don't

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: want to overreact, but Jimmy Butler's gotta be in there right.

138
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some of the numbers coming out of this

139
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: series so far, Jimmy Butler one, he joined Lebron James

140
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: is the only players in Heat franchise history to have

141
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: two triple doubles in a final series. Obviously the Heat

142
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: are two and oh when Jimmy Butler has had a

143
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: triple double. Here's the craziest thing. Okay, we saw him

144
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: play forty seven minutes last night. He has missed since

145
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: Game one a total of fourteen minutes. In the following

146
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: four games, he's averaging three and a half minutes off. Yeah,

147
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: I think I think it's like seven minutes in like

148
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: ten seconds or something last night, some obscene number. They

149
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: can't rest to him because they're nothing without him. Now,

150
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: if Laker fans are nervous this morning, here is the

151
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: glimmer of hope. After that Game three that Gavin mentioned,

152
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: he had the phenomenal performance um the triple double with

153
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: forty points. Uh and the Heat needed it. Their backs

154
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: were against the wall, and Jimmy Butler delivered forty thirteen assists,

155
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: eleven rebounds, just a magical performance. He came back tired

156
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: in Game four, and of course the Lakers won Game four,

157
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: and it was like, uh, maybe Jimmy Butler is gonna

158
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: be tired for Game six. I mean, I'm it's tough

159
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: to bet against Jimmy Butler. But in Game four he

160
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: had Anthony Davis on him. He only had ten and

161
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: nine and I say only he sat out five minutes.

162
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: He didn't shoot as well. He settled for a couple

163
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: of threes and missed them all. Um, So I I

164
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: do think the Lakers win Game six, but man, I

165
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: do not want to be in that film study for

166
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Today. We have a Lakers beat writer on

167
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: the show coming up. Been about an hour, and I mean,

168
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: can imagine how angry Lebron is gonna be. I gotta

169
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: say a word. I know KCP like got back in

170
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Lakers good graces um for the Game four showing, and

171
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: he hit a couple of big shots. In Game five,

172
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: there were three occasions where he was hugged up on

173
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson like he should be. There is a miss

174
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: a mad scramble for the ball or Jimmy Butler is

175
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: posting up and taking an hour, and KCP just loses

176
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson. And you can't lose Duncan Robinson. Listen, the

177
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: Lakers bottled him up. He did nothing for the first

178
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: two and a half. I think three games in this

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: series kind of broke out. In Game four had seventeen points,

180
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden last night, Duncan Robinson gets

181
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: loose first twenty six points on seven threes. I mean, folks,

182
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: it was such a tight game that out of a

183
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: time out, you know the A T O plays after

184
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: a time out, they drew up to not one two

185
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: plays for Duncan Robinson. They love that handoff three at

186
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: the top of the key. I mean, that's where we

187
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: are with Duncan Robinson. Now. The Lakers unbelievably don't have

188
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: an answer for Jimmy Butler, and I don't know what

189
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: the answer is for Duncan Robinson. Maybe they're so desperate

190
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: they say, hey, Quinn Cook, we need you to go

191
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: out there, fresh legs, full energy and just harass the

192
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 1: bleep out of Duncan Robinson and do not do not

193
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: can many airspace stay in his jersey. I mean, maybe

194
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: you need to do that. I don't trust j R.

195
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: Smith to do that. I definitely don't trust Eon Waiters.

196
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley's too slow. Um, it would have to be

197
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: Quinn Cook. That's the only name I could think of

198
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: off the bench, and folks are they're desperate. I don't

199
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: know what the Lakers can do against Jimmy Butler. You

200
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: cannot have Lebron on him because you know Lebron's running

201
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: the Lakers offense. He's thirty five years old. He's not

202
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: played the most games in NBA playoff history, He's got

203
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: the most minutes by a mile in NBA playoff history. Like,

204
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: if you're the Lakers, You're like, we're doing everything we can.

205
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: The supporting cast last night was awful. Rondo won a

206
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: seven kuzma three of ten. I'm not gonna get it done. Hey,

207
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Dave was good and he's hobbled. We haven't even talked

208
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: about Anthony Davis and in his ankle. I mean, listen,

209
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: Lakers heat has become a classic. It was after two

210
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: games it was like, oh, well, we're not gonna get

211
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: a good finals. Miamis delivered and they're not backing down

212
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: from anybody. And the scary thing is, you know, Gavin,

213
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: we haven't really had a Tyler Hero game yet. I mean,

214
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: what if in Game six, everybody's tired, Lakers are gassed,

215
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Lebron every everybody's gonna be gassed. What if Tyler Hero

216
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: has a thirty five point game, maybe he'll be the

217
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: hero rum My only criticism not I. I you cannot

218
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: blame Lebron from making the right play. But I don't

219
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: understand why when you're only down one, and we see

220
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: this across the league, guys are always drawing up plays

221
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: for a three point shot. I don't get that. Why

222
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: not find a play where it's a two point shot?

223
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Nothing was easy for the heat in the paint. It

224
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: was really hard for them all night. It wasn't that

225
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: way for the Lakers. That's a good point. Now. The

226
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: counter to that would be, according to Second Spectrum, Danny

227
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Green from that spot top of the key threes this season.

228
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: So but I would say, in the entire bubble, he

229
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: hasn't shot well, it hasn't felt, it just hasn't been there. Now,

230
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Gavin, you've been to Laker games. Anybody

231
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: who's been to an NBA game and gets there early

232
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: watches the guy's warm up, and it's unbelievable how they

233
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: make these open shots with nobody on them. I mean,

234
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: I've seen guys go, you know, k CP like in

235
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: a row, going around the circle. Kuzma threes in a row. Obviously,

236
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: you know Steph Curry is in a different league. But

237
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I saw a video where you

238
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: like eighties seven of a hundred threes. These guys are

239
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: paid to do that. They you know, you might say, oh,

240
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: they stinked, they're washed. I'm telling you go watch them

241
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: before a game or even in an open gym. They

242
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: don't miss that shot and Danny Green's dobly missed it,

243
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, don't. I mean, I don't even know what

244
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: we're to go with Markey Morris. I would say, despite

245
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: kuzma struggles, I would want Kuzma on the floor because

246
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: he's at least attacks, he's young, he's spry. I mean, Gavin,

247
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: I gotta get Kuzma out there. I have to, Yeah,

248
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean at least for the offense, right. I mean,

249
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: Morris was just got abused by Jimmy Butler. I was

250
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: saying to you before the show, to understand how bad

251
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: of would pass it. Was he missed Anthony Davis to

252
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: miss He's Godzilla, He's there. Anthony Davis feels like Inspector

253
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Gadget with those arms right, like he catches everything. He

254
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: just in nails it. Um. So anyways, listen, we're gonna

255
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: do a lot of NBA on the show. Next coming up,

256
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: next to we're gonna dive into week five of the NFL. Folks,

257
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm in the one point four million dollar contest. I

258
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: went three and two last week, um, and this week

259
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: is brutal. There are eight games with a spread of

260
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown on more and those always scare me. And

261
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: now Buffalo is uh they took Buffalo off the board.

262
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: That game is being played Tuesday. And a quick reminder

263
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: last week, about an hour into the show that Cam

264
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Newton COVID news hit. I'm kind of waiting Gavin this

265
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: because I think everybody around the league is tested on

266
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: Friday night, right, and then the news a leak out,

267
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: so this could become a COVID Saturday show. I don't know.

268
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't want that. Um, obviously we don't want that.

269
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: We want the COVID to stop. Obviously it clearly is

270
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: not It doesn't care about our wishes NFL. Next here

290
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: so a quick word on that at bat. I guess

291
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: the two had had history. Um, Chapman through I guess

292
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: at his head earlier this season. Right, it wasn't in

293
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: the not in the series. Not. Yeah. Well also it

294
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: wasn't um in one of those in one of the

295
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: it was obviously it was one of the sixty games

296
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: he threw it his head this season. Yes, and they

297
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: had some words and the kid Brusseau got paid back. Now,

298
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Gavin, did you watch that at bat? No?

299
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: I was in a different conversation at that point. I

300
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: wasn't watching the game. So it was it was a

301
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: pretty darn good at bat, I will say for the kid.

302
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: But Chapman had a one pitch it would look like

303
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: a strike, the catcher held it, the announcers are like,

304
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: uh wow, how's that not a strike? And then, of course,

305
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: like three pitches later, the kid hits a home run.

306
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Frustrating if you're a Yankees fan. Um, And we'll get

307
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: back to the NBA and guys, I I just went

308
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: to the Twitter machine during the break. Are you really

309
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: are we still doing this? Like only five million people

310
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: watched the NBA game last night. Nobody cares? I mean serious? Why? Why?

311
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: Don't we Why aren't we stupid like that? I thought

312
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: we were. I thought we are getting smart as sports fans.

313
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, we've had six months to let the pandemic marinate,

314
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: and primetime TV is down, Stanley Cup down, Every single

315
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: sporting event outside of the NFL is significantly down during

316
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: the pandemic. How many how many people lost their jobs

317
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: in that to cut cable like get a clue? Of

318
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: course the ratings are gonna be down. You really means

319
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: nobody's watching the games, nobody cares. There is a lack

320
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: of national interest in this finals, of course. I mean

321
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: there's the Red River rivalry today in in Texas, Texas,

322
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma college football going on. There's NFL happening. We're not

323
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: used to the NBA in October. I mean, kids are

324
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: in school, we got Halloween coming up, Like, there's just

325
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: a million things happening. Usually the NBA Finals are in June,

326
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, everybody's getting out of school, summer

327
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: is about to happen, let's go. I do think though,

328
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: if this was in June, there would still be not

329
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about this finals compared to Jana

330
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: being in there. There's no storylines, right, the Heat are

331
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: just a boring team. Jimmy Butler doesn't draw. We need

332
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler to talk some trash, you know. Now, Basketball

333
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: heads definitely like the series. It's good basketball. They we're

334
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: seeing some historic stuff happening, but as a narrative and stuff,

335
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: it's there's not you know, the Sixers would have more

336
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: storylines there that and we we were spoiled getting Lebron

337
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: versus Warriors. Yeah, Warriors was amazing. And then of course

338
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: like your Raptors last year, like I hate to say,

339
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: and then nobody cared about the rap They have no

340
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 1: fin no, but they had the dancing partner. They had

341
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: the Warriors, right, and they were on the roape. I mean,

342
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: I think people like the Warriors. I think a lot

343
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: of people don't like the Lakers or don't like Lebron.

344
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: It's not about the Lakers. It's Lebron fatigue. It has

345
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this Lakers team is actually very likable.

346
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Lebron has been in the Finals what nine times? Yeah,

347
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: it's him. Yeah. It's like the Patriots, right, the Patriots

348
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl how many times in two decades?

349
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Like nine trips. It's like people are. I mean, I

350
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: remember what was that Patriots Eagles. It was like, oh,

351
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles are new and fresh, they're kind of boring,

352
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz isn't playing and they have a backup quarterback.

353
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: But anybody but the Patriot And as we saw in

354
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: the in the playoffs, I mean, we want to see

355
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Luca in the MAVs in there. We want we We

356
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: are no longer surprised by Lebron's amazing feats, so when

357
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: he does them, it's, oh, yeah, of course he did that.

358
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: Last night. We won't remember that game, even though it

359
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: was amount rushmore Lebron game, but if if they had one,

360
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: we would have referred to that is why he's better

361
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: than Jordan's. You know, we would have talked. But now

362
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: they lost and he made the wrong play according to

363
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: some people, not not to us. But yeah, that's that's everything.

364
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: In this postseason was kind of leading up to this

365
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: idea that there was going to be an apocalyptic showdown

366
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: somewhere either between a superstar you're gonna get bucks with

367
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: Giannice versus Lebron, or you were going to get the

368
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Battle of l A and we were denied both of those.

369
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: So people have just kind of slept walked a little

370
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: bit and just assumed that it's just Lakers versus somebody else.

371
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: At this point, it's kind of hard to even say

372
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: who they're even playing against for for a lot of

373
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: casual people, but I think there is something to that.

374
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a crowded schedule. I think

375
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: I've been floating this theory. Most casual sports fans, you

376
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: probably have energy in you for maybe three, maybe four

377
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: sporting events a week, because after that, you want to

378
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: go do something else with your time. You don't want

379
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: to be watching you know, some of us want to

380
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: be watching sports every night because we're hardcore. But there's

381
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: other people out there maybe they watched two or three

382
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: events a week, you know, and in the fall, what

383
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: is that that is carving out college football on Saturday,

384
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: NFL on Sunday, and then one more day to float.

385
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: So that's either you watch some baseball in the middle

386
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: of the week, or you watch Monday night football. There's

387
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: just not a lot of room here for people to

388
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: carve out in their casual schedules. If you have a

389
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: family and kids, you know, you gotta drop the college

390
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: football or or NFL. You you kind of have to,

391
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: and people who do fantasy and gambling, you're not dropping

392
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I've kind of my college football intakes

393
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: so far has been way way down. Like listen, it's

394
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: beautiful out here. If we're gonna go to the beach,

395
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids are gonna get together and go

396
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: boogie boarding, dads are gonna hang out. I mean, yeah,

397
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do some of that kids you

398
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: do sport that's not possible. Coming up next year on

399
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, we will actually get to the NFL. Yes,

400
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: we will a lot of NFL on this show. I

401
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: don't have my pick sets, so maybe I'll get some

402
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: help here. But first let's go to Isaac loewenkron with

403
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: was trending in sports. Good Morning, Jason. The NBA Finals

404
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: still alive thanks to Jimmy Butler's incredible triple double in

405
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: Game five last night, thirty five points, twelve rebounds, eleven

406
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: assists in forty seven minutes, leading the Heat pass the

407
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: Lakers one eleven one. Oh. Wait, Lakers still lead the

408
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: series three games to two games six on Sunday. Also

409
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Friday night, the Tampa Bay Rays advantage to the American

410
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: League Championship Series for the first time since two thousand

411
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: and eight with a dramatic Game five victory over the Yankees,

412
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Michael Brasso the game winning home run of the bottom

413
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: of the gate thinning off a roll these Chapman. It

414
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: will be the Tampa Bay Rays against the Houston Astros

415
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: in the ALCS beginning on Sunday. In the NFL, that

416
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: New England Patriots will return to the practice field today,

417
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick saying this morning that Cam Newton not expected

418
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: a practice today. The Tennessee Titans have reopened their facility

419
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: today as well. And finally, Jason, NFL insider Ian Rappaport

420
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 1: says he has been suspended for two weeks by NFL

421
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: Network because he posted something on his social media channels

422
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: without clearance. Rappaport did not specify what it was that

423
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: he posted without clearance, but multiple outlets report that Rappaport

424
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: was suspended because he endorsed a male personal grooming product

425
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: on his Instagram page. Here's hoping NFL Network will reconsider

426
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: the decision and trim rappaport suspension. And Jason, we actually

427
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: have a new detail that has just come down. I'm

428
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: not making this up. The company that makes the product

429
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: in question just tweeted, we stand with Ian Rappaport. Why

430
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: do bad things have to happen to good people? Sending

431
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: you another package in the mail as we speak? So Isaac, okay,

432
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: well never mind, I'm not gonna. I know Ian, well, yes,

433
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. Jason is the stupidest NFL network policy ever. Yes,

434
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: give me a brain. You know you and I are

435
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: both on team Ian Rappaport on this, and I actually

436
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: think that that company that's a weak response. That's the

437
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: most publicity that company has ever gotten. And all they're

438
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: sending him is one extra product. Well there, I mean

439
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: they're paying him too, So kidding someone good point. All right,

440

00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: network suspension. Yeah, I'm with you, half baked paler. It's

453
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: uh two weeks for posting an ad Uh a little

454
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: little um stress that there's something from violation that they've

457
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: do that sort of thing, but still two weeks feels

458
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: like an awfully long time. And I don't know. I

459
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: wonder how one of the Glacier and Schefter are going

460
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: to counter this. Theyre doing advertisments too, well. Yeah, that's

461
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: a great point, Chad. And uh, you know, I think

462
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: you know the new model right if you're in the

463
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: sports media, nobody's taken just one check from anybody. Everybody

464
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: has toy. You got a cobble together whatever you can.

465
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: And if that means some money from people on Instagram

466
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: and they're gonna throw you five K or ten k

467
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: to do this or that, you're gonna take it. It's

468
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: just an ad right. I mean that that's where we

469
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: are in. Yeah, A lot of us is the gig economy.

470
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Awhere you know you have hopefully have a full time job,

471
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: and you know, guys on my side of the business,

472
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe write a book or decent TV work on the side,

473
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: come on the radio that sort of thing. And you guys,

474
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: guys in the price range of rappaport or chef the

475
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: going of these NFL and siders. Maybe they don't have

476
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: to do it, but doing it sort of the way

477
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: the the business set up these days. Alright, chat, let's

478
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: get to actual sports. UM. I want to start with

479
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots. So a week ago, right around maybe it

480
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: was like thirty minutes from now, the COVID news came

481
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: out on Cam Newton and was it was a neutron

482
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: bomb to the NFL. That was huge, And I'm just curious,

483
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: is there any way we know if Cam Newton is

484
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: eligible to play against UM Denver this week? Because I

485
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen protocol. I've heard you have to pass two

486
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: negative tests. Is there a certain number of days for that? Um?

487
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: Because not much news has come out, what's the latest

488
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: on if Cam can play and if not, who's the

489
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: starter for the Patriots. Yeah, I also talked to us

490
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: this morning. It was it was kind of a questionable

491
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: because it was a video call and it wasn't working

492
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: and ended up being a uh call on the phone

493
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: where you know, some people could hand something couldn't, So

494
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of chaotic. But he talked at length about

495
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: this and said absolutely nothing. As you might expect. He

496
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: didn't know Cam to play. Um, he answered one word

497
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: answers when after the starting quarterback was or you know,

498
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: three word? I guess I don't know. Um really want

499
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: to talk about Gilmore either, whether there was a chance

500
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: he might play and whether uh uh you know when

501
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna see him again. The Patriots have a buy

502
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: next week, will be a couple of weeks if he

503
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: guys missed this game. But he really Jason like he

504
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: didn't even know. Um. What we've been told is that, uh,

505
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: it's five days if you're a symp asymptomatic, five days

506
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: with a without a positive test. But we don't know

507
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: if Camp has done that long. We do know he

508
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: was a symptomatic. The Patriots pots up, but it's still

509
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: really up in the here. He wouldn't even commit to

510
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: sidhom or hoy or as this quarterback if Ham didn't play.

511
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: And you know, this was the first first day in

512
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: the building, the first time there's been a lot of

513
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: back in the building since last weekend. So, uh, it's

514
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: it's an absolutely unprecedented time for the Patriots in terms

515
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: of preparing for this game. And you know, I trust

516
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick to be the guy to prepare in weird times,

517
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: but I think this is even unlike anything he's ever

518
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: had to do. Yeah, and it's you know, it's kind

519
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: of unfair. And again again, nobody's in crocodile tears for

520
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: the gamblers in the fantasy folks out there. But if

521
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots are only getting back into the building today,

522
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: they'll have what two days of practice maybe wanted to

523
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: walk through before facing a Denver team that's been practicing

524
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: all week without knowing who your quarterback is. I mean,

525
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe addicks it better since but if you know

526
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: campus Clarence uh later today, say just purely speculating, Uh,

527
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: does he even though he hasn't seen Cam in person

528
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: for a week, does he say all right, you're the guy?

529
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Or does he go with somebody who's been a little

530
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: bit more involved with the game plan. I think we

531
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: all assume it would be Cam just because he's Cam.

532
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's the guy you can put out there

533
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: and have ten of the knowledge of the game plan.

534
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: If he is he hasn't been able to do anything

535
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: but meet on video college with Belichick and you can

536
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: put him out there and say his ability, he's smart,

537
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: his just a knack for making plays because of his

538
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: skills are a better option than what they have, even

539
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: if the other two guys are more prepared. But we

540
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: really don't know. I don't think you'll just know so

541
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: right now, I'm this is kind of a tough question

542
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: because you know I want to know, But I'm curious.

543
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Do you think we as fans and media have a

544
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: right to know the COVID status of football players and

545
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and positive and negative tests. I know it's

546
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: one thing when you know the President of the United

547
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: States doesn't want to say when his last negative test was.

548
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: That's obviously different. That matters. This is football that do

549
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: we have a right to know? Well, Fantasy football and

550
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: gambling ranks just below the state of the country in

551
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: terms of the center we need to know about obvious

552
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: especially on Sunday mornings, but um no, we don't, probably not,

553
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, these guys are public figures too,

554
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and it does have some effect on this multi, multi

555
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: billion dollar industry. So that information is going to get out.

556
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: There are too many people that are literally invested in

557
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: it for for that news not to come out, especially

558
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: in the cases of what we've seen the Patriots asleep.

559
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's one one thing if one catch player

560
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: test positive and everything's clear the next day. It's another

561
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: thing when Kim Newton, who's you know, two thousand and

562
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: fifteen NFL and VP guys, really seems to have rejuvenate

563
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: his career here on the early going into England and

564
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: defensive player year Stefan Gilmore out. Nobody cares that Patriots.

565
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: It's sad to say nobody cares that Patriots. The practice squatter,

566
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: Bill Murray it has it too, because it doesn't affect

567
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: things like it does the least guys. So whether or

568
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: not it's fair for the info to come out, we're

569
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna get it. Yeah, alright, Chad Finn, Boston Globe Final question. Um,

570
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're still invested in Tom Brady having watched

571
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: him for two decades. Um, we had a lot of

572
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: people grave dancing on Thursday night. Oh he's washed. Tom

573
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: Brady's not good. He can't come through. I thought it

574
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: was just, I mean, what's the big He didn't have

575
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: a great game. He was good, he wasn't terrible this

576
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: and he was missing like almost all his skill position. Guys,

577
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: are we overreacting to every single thing Tom Brady does? Now?

578
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: The mental error was weird because having watched him for

579
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty years here, I could count on probably one finger

580
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: where we've seen something like that happened with him. That

581
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: as great disadvantage is he just didn't make metal mistakes

582
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: and his ability to read the field and so to

583
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: forget and he clearly forgot to forget how many downs

584
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: are worse. So i'mlike, and funny thing is we saw

585
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: it here with against the Chiefs. Brian Hoyer did the

586
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: same thing right before halftime. So you've seen it twice

587
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: in a week from the great Patriots quarterback and the

588
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: current Patriots quarterback. It's pretty strange, but um, he looks

589
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: to me, Jason like the guy we saw last year.

590
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes with flashes of greatness, so they're probably more often

591
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: than not. But then he'll just throw a duck up

592
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: there and you say, is his arm strength fading? And

593
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: I think the reality reality is that the number one

594
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: reason why Beltrick is willing to let the partnership break

595
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: up the season is, Uh, he saw a decline in

596
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: Brady that maybe we didn't clan see yet that he

597
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: saw some incillary skills sort of slipping and knew it

598
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: forty three years old. Those things weren't going to come back.

599
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're seeing now in a week.

600
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: Interesting all right, Chad Finn Boston Globe follow him on

601
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Twitter at Globe Chad Finn. Uh, stay safe, Chatt, and

602
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by YouTube. Ad alright, Uh interesting stuff. Uh,

603
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: this whole Brady discussion is weird. I don't think he

604
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: looks as bad as everybody or the narrative on social

605
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: media thinks Tom Brady is. Um. Just wait till he

606
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: gets Godwin back. Okay, wait till he gets four net back,

607
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: and wait till he's been I don't know, six games.

608

639
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: last week at this time, we had the I'm Newton News.

640
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: Are you guys, Isaac? Are you seeing what's going on

641
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: with college football right now? Isaaci there, I am. Yeah.

642
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: So basically, uh, I guess a Saturday morning, right before

643
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: the games, all the schools are releasing their COVID info

644
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: of the Virginia Cavaliers are down seven guys, Missouri's down

645
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: like five guys. They're just announcing this stuff like right

646
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: before the games, and like I'm sorry, I I you

647
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: could be down seven starters or I don't know if

648
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: it's seven starters, maybe it's just seven play players. And

649
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: they have like, you know, a hundred guys on the roster.

650
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: But still it's fascinating because you know, there's like regulations

651
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: and hip of things and they're trying to be as

652
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: non specific as possible. But it's interesting to come out

653
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: the day of the game. Yeah, And like Gavin and

654
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: I were talking about gambling earlier, and um, I'm just

655
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: not willing to lay it and then find out I'm

656
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: down a bunch of guys. And but here's the thing.

657
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: Didn't wasn't Kansas State down a bunch of dudes and

658
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: then they beat Oklahoma or I think that, yeah, two

659
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And so you can't automatically say, oh, this

660
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: team's missic a bunch of guys, you gotta bet against them,

661
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: because maybe the opponents like, ah, geez, they're down all

662
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: these guys. We got this game locked up. It's all

663
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: like that. That's the mentality of sports, and that bleeds

664
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: into the guy I want to talk about right now

665
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: for a second. And Jimmy Butler is getting all the

666
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: credit last night. Obviously he was a hero. But this kid,

667
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, Okay, I don't know. I don't know if

668
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: you guys are familiar with his story. So a lot

669
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: has been written about him because I like people will

670
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: be like wait a second, is that the guy who

671
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: played in Michigan. Yeah, that is the guy who was

672
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: in Michigan. He was like maybe the fifth best player

673
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: on the Michigan Wolverines in college. And I remember him,

674
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: you know, like white guy could shoot. That was It's like,

675
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking he's gonna be an NBA factor. I

676
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: didn't even think he'd be an NBA player. He didn't

677
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: think he'd be an NBA player. So this kid, Duncan Robinson,

678
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: I I was reading about his story. It's really phenomenal.

679
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: So junior year in high school. By that time, you know,

680
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: you've established yourself. Are you a top one under guy,

681
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: top two hundred guy au ball? You're traveling. He was

682
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: coming off the bench in high school, had not played

683
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: any a AU basketball. And then finally as a senior

684
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: he grows a little bit and you know, it becomes

685
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: like a player on the high school team. And then

686
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: he joins AU and no offers out of high school none.

687
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: So he decides, Okay, let me do a postgrad here,

688
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: let me go an extra year of high school basically,

689
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: and I'll grow, I'll get stronger, and then maybe people

690
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: will come. No, they still didn't come. Division three. The

691
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: school Williams came after him and he's like, oh, I'll

692
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, let's go. And he goes to Williams

693
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: and you know, listen, it's division three. I know some

694
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: guys I've played against guys who were Division three. They're

695
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: really really good players, but not NBA finals material. Okay,

696
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. Duncan Robinson. I mean, the

697
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: guys on his team in the summer would be like, Oh,

698
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: I got an internship at this law firm. I got

699
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: an internship at this accounting firm h New York City.

700
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: Like He's like, I can't do an internship and have

701
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: dreams to like play in the NBA. I gotta be working.

702
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: And that's what he would do. And he worked on

703
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: his game and he came back and everybody's like, whoa,

704
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: this guy's this guy's serious. And it's like an all

705
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: senior lineup and Duncan Robinson incoming freshman, plays so well

706
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: that they have to sit one of the senior down

707
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: and be like, I know what, it's just it's been

708
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: your team. Basically, you got your whole group for four

709
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: years and this is your year. And I'm sorry, but

710
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: this kid Duncan Robinson's like, really good, we gotta get

711
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: him in there, and the seniors like to the coach,

712
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: I get it, man, he's this guy's good. Look at

713
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: the work ethic. Duncan Robinson will wake up at four

714
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, okay, and drive with a friend

715
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: to our one hour into Boston and do strength and

716
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: conditioning and play a metric work. Then he go to

717
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: classes and then they would shoot later in the day

718
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: and practice. I mean, he wanted it. How bad do

719
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: you want whatever it is that you're chasing, don't get

720
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: Robinson wanted it bad, and so Division three freshman, he

721
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: becomes an All American and then his coach leaves for

722
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: D one, and of course Division one programs are like, oh,

723
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: this guy, Duncan Robinson was an All American. He could

724
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: probably play D one. Holy Cross offers him a scholarship

725
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: and Dougant Robinson is freaking out, I could go to

726
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: holy Cross. And his teammates are like, bro, you can

727
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: go bigger than that. And Michigan comes calling. John b

728
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: Line scoop him up a little tough road at Michigan,

729
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: can I be an NBA player? Gets to the G League,

730
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: shoots fort on threes in the G League, and here

731
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: he is a couple of years later with the Miami

732
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: Finals and he dropped twenty six on the Lakers. I mean,

733
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: I know where we're gonna focus on Lebron and didn't

734
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: make the right decision. And Jimmy Butler, think about Duncan Robinson.

735
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you want out there in life, think about the

736
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: work ethic and the time that Duncan Robinson put in

737
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: to get where he is. Folks, I'm telling you, man,

738
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,520

760
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: We'll do a lot of NFL shortly. We've got a

761
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: great guest coming up. My man t a do some gambling.

762
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: I went three and two last week. So yeah, not thrilled.

763
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: But I gotta just say this NFL stuff, like Gavin

764
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: was talking to me about fantasy and uh like trades

765
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: and protecting players and all this. This COVID is so crazy.

766
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: You know, as of this moment, we're getting NFL Sunday,

767
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: we're getting NFL Monday, and we're getting an NFL Monday game,

768
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: I believe at two o'clock in the afternoon. Pacific. Is

769
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: that right? I think I think this. I saw five

770
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, so too Pacific. We're getting to NFL games

771
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: Monday and then one on Tuesday. This is just phenomenal.

772
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: But that does probably mean no game Thursday, which would

773
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: be Bills and Chiefs, which is I mean, which just

774
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: pushes that to Sunday, and of course we know Sunday

775
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: as Packers Bucks Brady Rogers. NFL is just so hot,

776
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: loving it all right, t A. He's back, t A.

777
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: No pumpkin patch with the little baby today? Huh no,

778
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, we we got that out of the

779
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: way last week and uh might play some tennis though

780
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: this affort got the babysitter. Now. I gotta say, t A,

781
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 1: if if memory serves, those first six to eight months

782
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: are tough with the diapers. Uh, it's just it's it

783
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really stop. Have you had to lose anything? Have

784
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: you dropped any baseball? Have you dropped any college football

785
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: from the rotation? Uh? As you spend time with the

786
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: wife and kid, Well, I haven't. I'm not a huge

787
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: baseball guy general follow my Indians, but you know, it's

788
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: really the thing I've had to drop is definitely college football.

789
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: I just don't have the time working, you know, working

790
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: with Warren Sharp on his site, and so I have

791
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: a bunch of articles up there, we do a bunch

792
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: of analysis and so that that takes up a lot

793
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: of my time. So college football just you know, my

794
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: buck eyes are not playing yet. Maybe when they come

795
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: back in a couple of weeks so I'll be uh,

796
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: I'll get back into it, but as of now, I

797
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: really haven't paid much attention to college unfortunately. Alright, so

798
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: for NFL Week five, let's start with one of your

799
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: Buckeys players who I think is back this week. Chase

800
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: Young missed last week with the groin injury. UM, I

801
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: don't want to go crazy, but I had Peter King

802
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: on my podcast this week and he talked about why

803
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera made the move to Kyle Allen. It makes

804
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: total sense. Washington actually believes, Hey, you know, this is

805
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: a really bad NFC East. Kyle Allen has been with

806
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: us for three years with the O c uh and

807
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: me back in Carolina, like we can make a move

808
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. They play the Giants twice in

809
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: the next like five weeks. They got the Lions, the Bengals,

810
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: like they think they can make a move and I

811
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: like them this week getting seven seven and a half

812
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: against the Rams. Yeah, you know, um, they're not one

813
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: of my five, but I definitely, uh, definitely an album personally. Um,

814
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: I think this is really honestly, this is just a

815
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: fate of the Rams travel. I mean they've had to

816
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: go back and forth between the East Coast and West

817
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: coast three times essentially a row. And it's a pretty brutal, um,

818
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, pretty brutal travel schedule from that perspective. So

819
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, you saw a little bit last week they

820
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: were and they did not look good against the Giants.

821
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: They definitely look kind of off their game. Um, who

822
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: knows if this if they're able to bounce back, but

823
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: I think that that, you know, the travel is is

824
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: a little bit fatiguing here. Um, And so I think

825
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: when you're getting over a touchdown. I don't love Kyle

826
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen at all. Um. You know, he started off

827
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: okay last year in his first first action and then

828
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: he really petered out towards the end. But you know,

829
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: I think with that, you know, Chase Young coming back

830
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: in the defensive line, I think they can put pressure

831
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: on this Rams front um, you know, offensive line, and

832
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: I think they can they can hold down the Rams

833
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I look for Antonio Gibson to

834
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: have a have a good game, um out of the backfield.

835
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: The Rams have not done a good job stop in

836
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: the run the twenty six in allowing explosive runs twenty

837
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: second overall the thirty one and adjusted line yards, meaning

838
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: they're getting blown off the line, which is surprising for

839
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: a defensive line with Aaron Donald. So look look for

840
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Antonio Gibson to supplement Kyle Allen. So

841
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the right side, especially when you're getting

842
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 1: seven seven and a half here. Yeah, they're they're definitely

843
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: in one of my my five picks three and two

844
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: last week twelve seven and one. But this is a

845
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: tough one, t A all right, So we got Washington

846
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: out of the way. I'm gonna float this with you.

847
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna hate it because it is, uh,

848
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by seven against the Eagles, and

849
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: this is dangerous because the public is like on Pittsburgh,

850
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: you know. Um, it's an in state quasi rivalry game.

851
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: I just think when you look at the X and

852
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: those t eight Eagles are going to get destroyed here

853
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: in the trenches. Boatsides, well not both sides. The Eagles

854
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: defensive line is actually really good and the strength of

855
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 1: their team, and so I wouldn't say that. And the Steelers,

856
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, are um, you know, they lost with new

857
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: Ski the last of Jack Banner. They lost a couple

858
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: of linemen a couple of weeks ago. Now that you know,

859
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: obviously the rest is gonna help. And that's where so

860
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: I haven't taken this side. Um. I would normally take

861
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles here, but um coming off a Sunday night

862
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: on the West coast, and like you know, I mentioned essentially,

863
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: uh not essentially. They did get a bye week, the

864
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: Steelers did, so they're well rested. And here's the thing,

865
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: like I understand that the defensive front versus the Eagles,

866
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: the line is a mismatch, and that's why I, you know,

867
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm avoiding this. But the Steelers haven't faced anybody. Okay,

868
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: they haven't faced anybody. Think about the quarterbacks. They've faced

869
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Okay, they've faced Jeff driscoll um and and

870
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,959
Speaker 1: they faced the Shawn Watson. They allowed twenty one points

871
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: to them that I just don't know that the level

872
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: of competition. I mean they faced, um, they've faced teams

873
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: that have have won one game so far this year,

874
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: UM and Sell and that game was against the Jet.

875
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: So like to me, it's just they haven't proven anything

876
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: to me. I mean offensively, big Ben, you know, looks

877
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: a little rusty. Their twentieth and success rate uh passing

878
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: the ball, the twenty seven and explosive plays and against

879
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: that set of defenses, you would think that they're able

880
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: to do a little bit better. I think Philly keeps

881
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: this game interesting. I think the numbers right. I wouldn't

882
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: be rushing to take the Steelers here. I mean Wentz

883
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: played pretty well against a good UH front for for

884
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: the Niners last week. With that offensive line issue, look

885
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: for Wentz to run the ball a lot more. Um.

886
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: He's been running a lot more the last two weeks,

887
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of r p O. I think he's going

888
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: to use his legs uh and I think he's able

889
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: to extend drives. You know, I personally would avoid this game,

890
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: but I can see where you know you're thinking is

891
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the you know, the mismatch between the

892
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: past Rush and the Eagles. A line yeah, the Steelers

893
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: a line. For the first three games, t A had

894
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: had three different starting lineups. However, all five are healthy

895
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: their core group, and they're expected to all play today

896
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: U or sorry Sunday, So I do have some confidence there.

897
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: I just remember whence running for his life Sunday night,

898
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson was in and out of the lineup against

899
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: like the JV forty team, and we're talking about Bud Dupree,

900
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: t J. Watt maybe the best defensive line. I don't know.

901
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm all over this, Dealers. That's a square pick. But anyways,

902
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: all right, give me one of your picks that you

903
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: really like. I like the Niners. Speaking of San Francisco,

904
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: and this really is a this is purely a matchup play.

905
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: So what what does San Francisco do well on offense?

906
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean Kyle Shanahan, Um, he really does a great

907
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: job with designing mismatches between his running backs and George

908
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: Kittle out of the backfield and tight end against linebackers

909
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: and safeties. Right, and if you look up Miami's h

910
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: safety then especially they're linebackers, they're horrendous in coverage. Okay,

911
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: there are a set of linebackers. Are three of the

912
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: ten coverage, they get three of the bottom ten coverage

913
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: grades according to Pro Football Focus. Among all the linebackers,

914
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: they are dead last in success rate allowed to running

915
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: back out of the backfield. In the passing game, there

916
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: twenty second um against tight ends. I just think that

917
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: this is a complete mismatch. There is no way that

918
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be able to hold up um. Again, Shanahan,

919
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: we got Jimmy Garoppolo. Obviously, he's back, so so that's big.

920
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have a lot of the second most explosive

921
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: plays in the passing game in the NFL UM their

922
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: thirtieth overall in past defense, So I just think that

923
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to move the ball up and

924
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: down the field. You know. Unfortunately San Francisco is missing

925
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: a couple of corners, which hurts, but they've got a

926
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: lot of depth there and I'm not sure outside of

927
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: Devonte Parker that the Dolphins can really attack you, um,

928
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: even if you have a depleted secondary. We saw they

929
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: really couldn't do that much against Seattle last week because

930
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: Seattle had an even worse situation in the secondary and

931
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: they scored twenty three points. But they really they couldn't

932
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 1: pushed the ball down the field and it's Patrickally just okay.

933
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: I just don't think they have the firepower here. I

934
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: think Tula will eventually start, and I think they would

935
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: have started them potentially this week. But it's a really

936
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: tough matchup and I don't think they want to throw

937
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: him too the fire. So look for maybe if they

938
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: get blown out here, Um, you know, to to play

939
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: potentially against Denver next week. That's that's my guest. Interesting. So, um,

940
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: you're still bullish on this offense even though it kind

941
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: of has sputtered the last few games. Well, I mean

942
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: you sputter when you don't have your starting quarterback and

943
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: you have to start Nick Mullins and then they get

944
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, Kittle finally was healthy last week. You saw

945
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: what he did. He was a monster. Mostart is a questionable.

946
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: He may play, sounds like he is going to play.

947
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: The Beebo Samuel is probably not gonna play, but he's

948
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: getting closer. They I mean, I thought, hey, you looked

949
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: awesome last week. They got plenty of weapons, Like I said,

950
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: the beauty and the genius of Shanahan, and he takes

951
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: whoever is on the field, doesn't matter who it is,

952
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: and he will he will design plays to get guys

953
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: wide open. He's been doing it for years, so I'm

954
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: not really worried about that. So San Franz, your your

955
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: number one? Yes, all right? What about a number two pick?

956
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking my Browns getting I got one and a

957
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: half uh as an underdog, and really this is I

958
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: think there's a pretty these are pretty close, um close teams.

959
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 1: I think really the difference this week is the injuries.

960
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean the injury impact um for the Cold especially

961
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: at linebacker, is enormous. Darius Leonard is out. I mean,

962
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: he's he's our stud middle linebacker. He's top five essentially

963
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: in every advanced metric that you can find, pass coverage,

964
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: run defense, tackling. He's been awesome this year for the Colts.

965
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: And they also have a couple of other injuries. Anthony

966
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: Walker is is question. Another starting linebacker, Bobby Okareki is

967
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: a third starting linebacker, has to play with a club

968
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: on his hand because he's got a broken thumb um.

969
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: And then on the offensive side, they're starting left tackle

970
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo, who it's one of the better starting tackles

971
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL, is out. I just think that there

972
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: is significant he's going to be He would be matched

973
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: up with Miles Garret right, Yeah, exactly, and so um,

974
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, the backup hasn't played snaps really in a

975
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: couple of years and he allowed a bunch of pressures

976
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: in that season. Um, so I think Garrett will have

977
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: a big game. I think that the Browns run game. Obviously.

978
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing to lose run stopping linebackers

979
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: against a team that like, you know, a Kansas City

980
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: or a team that just like the throw around the field,

981
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: but when you're doing it against a team like the

982
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: Browns that have been mauling defenses up front and running

983
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: the football, this is just a bad, bad time to

984
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 1: have those injuries. So um, I think with that, you know,

985
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna mix up a lot of twelve personnel,

986
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: which the Colts have struggled against, so two tight ends.

987
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 1: They do much better when when they play against three

988
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: receivers um against UH instead of twelve. So I think

989
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: the Browns will do a lot of two tight ends,

990
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: will mix it up, They'll will continue that bootleg action.

991
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt's been awesome this year, so I know that

992
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: Chubb injury, you know, stinks, But Chubb is Hunt's been

993
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: almost as good or even better in a lot, So

994
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine there. And I like the

995
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: getting a one and a half. It looks like your

996
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: Browns are So you got one and a half. Okay,

997
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: because I was gonna say it's pick them in a

998
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: couple of spots. And it seems like it's trending towards

999
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: Browns are going to be favored by kickoff by the two. Um,

1000
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: I just do what about the the old Man Rivers factor? Um,

1001
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland can be had through the air, Dak Prescott, you know,

1002
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: five yards passing? I just I can can this Cleveland

1003
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: secondary hold up if Rivers decides I'm gonna air it out? Well,

1004
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: here's the things. Yeah, here's the thing. So that the

1005
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: Browns are getting healthier in the secondary. Kevin Johnson is

1006
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: one of the better slot corners in the NFL. Came

1007
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: back in their last game, so he's getting healthier. Um,

1008
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: and his award has been hampered for the last few games.

1009
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: He's healthier, you know. So they're okay in the secondary.

1010
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: And the thing with the cult is they're they're decimated

1011
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Michael Pittman Jr. Uh is out. Um

1012
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: they lost Paris Campbell earlier in the season, so there,

1013
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's t Y Hiltons, who looks like he's

1014
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: in the glue factory. You've got Zack Pascal as their

1015
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: number two, number two wide receivers, so they've got to

1016
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: go a lot of two tight ends as well. If

1017
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: the mismatch, you really wanted to take a look at

1018
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: his Moale Cox against the Browns safeties and linebackers, because

1019
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: he's a mismatch if they decided to play them. They

1020
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: really don't trust him that But I'm not really worried

1021
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: about this team airing it out because they can't. They

1022
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: just don't have the weapon. And you know, as much

1023
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: as I love Philip Rivers, he's you know, when it

1024
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: was windy last week in Chicago, he wasn't able to

1025
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: push the ball downfield. The weather should be okay, but

1026
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: you never know. On the lake there the wind swirl

1027
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot. So I'm not really this is not the

1028
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: Dallas matchup is a lot worse. When you can go

1029
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: four or five wide, you can't do that here with

1030
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: the Cults, so it doesn't really play to that that

1031
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: advantage all right. Let me ask you one more. The

1032
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: Houston Texans are six and a half point favorites in

1033
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: the contest. Now they're down to five and a half,

1034
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: So I guess some maybe some money's come in on Jacksonville.

1035
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: But an unn our sorry, a winless Texans team favored

1036
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: by nearly a touchdown after firing their coach at home

1037
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 1: against you know, maybe the worst defense in the league.

1038
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people are scratching their heads and how

1039
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: the Texas could be favored by this much? Any thoughts? Yeah,

1040
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: I love Houston here, um, and it has nothing to

1041
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: do with with firing Bill O'Brien. I think that stuff

1042
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: is overrated. Um. Usually, you know, historically teams are about

1043
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: five hundred against the spread after finary coach mid season,

1044
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: so that there's really no angle there. But this is

1045
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: really about Jacksonville. For whatever reason, team people loved the

1046
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: back Jacksonville. It's only because they saw that they won

1047
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: that opener against the Colts. But ever since, what have

1048
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: they really done? I mean, yeah, they played tight against

1049
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: the Titans. They got blown out at home against a

1050
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: bad Miami team. Um, they got blown out again against Cincinnati. People,

1051
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: they were taking money last week. They went from plus

1052
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: three and a half the money well I was or

1053
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: whatever it's worth. But um, but yeah, that that line dropped.

1054
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: And now look they're defensively, they're worse than the NFL

1055
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: defending the past by d v o A metrics. And

1056
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: now they have their two best defenders Miles Jack who's

1057
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: the number one rated linebacker by Pro Football Focus and

1058
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: UM is top three and pass rush Rundy and covered grade.

1059
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: He's been awesome this year. He's questionable. Josh Allen, who's

1060
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: their number one pick from last year defensive end. He

1061
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: leads a team in pressures, He's almost doubled the second,

1062
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: uh most pressured guy on the team. He's questionable as well.

1063
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: If they lose one or both, I mean, I don't

1064
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: know how they will get any stops whatsoever. And let's

1065
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: be honest, like Houston hasn't been great, but they played

1066
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: some tough teams. He played the Steelers, he played the

1067
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City past defense, which is number one in the NFL. UM.

1068
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: He played the Ravens like they really haven't had a

1069
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: breather here. Um. And so I think this is their

1070
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to kind of let things loose, and I just

1071
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: don't think Jacksonville has enough firepower to to keep up.

1072
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll score some points, so I think this

1073
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: is a good over game. But I could see like

1074
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: a thirty four seven game. I think they'll cover the

1075
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: five points here, and I think that's the right side.

1076
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: When the Jags lost C. J. Henderson in the second

1077
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: half last week against the Bengals and Miles Jack went down,

1078
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean Joe Burrow went just bananas. Yeah, up and

1079
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: down the field like it was nothing. Five yards of

1080
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: total offense for a rookie. So yeah, I'm with you

1081
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: on that. I kind of I like the Texans. I

1082
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,399
Speaker 1: just six and a half is a lot to be letting.

1083
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean that deep fense has like no players. I

1084
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: don't know, if you noticed, they have zero talent t A.

1085
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,439
Speaker 1: I was arguing, I don't even think that's a good job.

1086
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: I know Deshaun Watson's awesome, but they just paid him

1087
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: and the skill position players are the offensive line is

1088
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: it and the defense just has no players at all.

1089
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great job. I don't know.

1090
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like if anytime you have one of the

1091
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: top fired the set quarterbacks, uh, you know, young quarterbacks

1092
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's always a good job. You can

1093
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: find ways to get talent. Um. Yeah, it sucks that

1094
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: you don't have a first round pick this year, but

1095
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen the NFL. You can hit on

1096
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, third, fourth round picks. Yeah, it's not idea,

1097
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: but you know, I still think a lot of coaches

1098
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: would take this job. And yeah, the Texas defense has

1099
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: been bad, no doubt they have allowed a bunch of

1100
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of it. Gardner minshew. The guy

1101
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: that you really, I think is going to exploit that,

1102
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I'm not sure about that. If

1103
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: it was Aaron Rodgers, sure, you know, if it was

1104
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, sure, I'm not really worried about a bad quarterback,

1105
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, really really exploiting this Texas defense enough to

1106
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: keep up on the other side of the football. So

1107
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: when I when I buy the Jets in like twenty years,

1108
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get t a in the analytics department two

1109
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: and some some capacity. He's good with the numbers, all right,

1110
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,560

1114
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:30,440

00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,439
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next year on Fox Sports Radio.

00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: In five minutes, we'll talk to a Lakers beat writer

1122
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: who probably thought the NBA season was ending last night

1123
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: and they would get to leave the bubble. But alas

1124
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: another weekend and in Orlando it's I guess technically Orlando,

1125
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: but um I was Sam We we uh don't have

1126
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 1: any space here to really talk college football? Where are

1127
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: you on today's slated games? Is a good? Bad? Are

1128
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: you indifferent? Great games today? Great? Great? Yeah? Pretty good games?

1129
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: Any top twenty matchups? Oh very very much, so very many.

1130
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: We got Florida and uh Texas A and M. Florida's

1131
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: an exciting team. They got the Kyle and Kyle connection.

1132
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: Kyle Trash to Kyle Pitts. Uh. Their offense has been

1133
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: very dynamic. So there's other great games today as well.

1134
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: So it's good to hear because I don't know, like

1135
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: it's just t a even expressed it, like something's gotta drop.

1136
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: You don't have kids yet, Sam, I mean, hell, you're

1137
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: not even married. Um, But it's like the opportunities present

1138
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: themselves to like hang out with your kids and other

1139
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: dads and get out of the house during the pandemic

1140
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: and getting the kids off the ip ads of the

1141
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: video games is tough. So any opportunity I jump at it.

1142
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: And college football has kind of falling out now. The

1143
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: good news is you can watch games on your phone,

1144
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: um and get updates and texts and gamble and all that.

1145
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: So it's still doable, just a little bit of a

1146
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:24,439
Speaker 1: different experience. Um. Red River Rivalry Texas Oklahoma. That's on Fox. Yes,

1147
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: that's coming up in about half an hour here, probably

1148
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: one of the more diminished Red River Rivalry games in

1149
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: a while. Just be well, both teams already well combined,

1150
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: they have three losses, that's right, Oklahoma loss two losses

1151
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: and Texas arity loss. So this game is uh basically

1152
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: a Big twelve elimination game. How about this hot take?

1153
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Texas wins, Lincoln Riley takes his third loss, and Lincoln

1154
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Riley says, you know what, this college sun was fun.

1155
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm a bounce to the NFL Jets. Hey, I could

1156
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: go to Trevor Lawrence, give it a Lincoln got a

1157
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: bail after after four games? No, no, not after four games.

1158
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: But he can start thinking, like, wow, they're saying what

1159
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: it used to be. I don't have my Rattler is

1160
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: a good player, but he's a young guy. Like I

1161
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: could go to the NFL. Like this college thing, I

1162
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know, you can't have. I don't think you can

1163
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: have three consecutive Heisman winners. You know, yeah, it kind

1164
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: of different. Consecutive obvious that you know, somebody's gonna want

1165
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley in the NFL, Like there's gonna be plenty

1166
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: of jobs. Lincoln Riley, Can I make my pitch? Anthony

1167
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Lynn has done everything he can to get fired this season,

1168
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: including standing by Tyrod Taylor. Now look, he finally made

1169
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: the right decision and said Herbert's our starter. But oh

1170
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, you're trying to make a splash in l

1171
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: a Lincoln Riley paired with Justin Herbert. Let's go. Now

1172
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I know the

1173
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: fans want Anthony Lynn out, But Kevin, do you think

1174
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,439
Speaker 1: they'll will end it? They'll dump him. I don't see

1175
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: what he has done to deserve to keep that job.

1176
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: He does not elevate anyone on the team. He's not

1177
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: a scheme guy. He's not drawing up the plays. There's

1178
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: a young guy, Shane Stike in that's that's hired to

1179
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: do that. Um. What he's a motivator is that he's

1180
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: he's Look, he's a neat guy. We saw him in

1181
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. He's a tremendous person. He's a great you know.

1182
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like, why don't give him a job

1183
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: with Tom talesco Let him be a psychiatrist to the

1184
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: guys or something. But but let's get a coach in

1185
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: there that can make our team look like they actually,

1186
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, have a high flying offense because they should.

1187
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: And you know, you've seen Herbert's talent. It's like Herbert

1188
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I was bullish on him coming up next year on

1189
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,720

Speaker 1: going back a Gartner all the way to the wall.

1213
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: It's god a home run from Mike Bresso. The Rays

1214

Speaker 1: San Diego call on w d A e s. Tampa

1216

Speaker 1: We call seven otto. The only hard part figuring out

1224
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,919
Speaker 1: which way is easier. I'm assuming she thought she would

1225
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: be on a plane maybe by now. Back from the bubble.

1226
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: Tanya Gongo Leie from the l A Times covers of

1227
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Lakers was in the bubble last night. Tania, how are

1228
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: you feeling that after last night's season not over? Um

1229
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: game Yeah, this is. I mean it's already been the

1230
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: longest season ever literally not so that's not like an

1231
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: you say that sometimes with exaggeration like oh this fields

1232
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: like the long er, but literally a year ago I

1233
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: was in China with the Lakers, and it's uh, you

1234
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: know you usually a calendar year doesn't pass without the

1235
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: season being finished. But um, but here we are. I

1236
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: did I Actually, everybody's mad at me because I actually

1237
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: had my flight booked. But and I also I also

1238
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:41,959
Speaker 1: had my flight booked for Wednesday, um before Game three,

1239
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: until everyone was mad at me then and then I

1240
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: did it again. So now people are keeping a close

1241
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: eye on my flight booking. Oh wow, okay, so but

1242
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: during a pandemic, you know, it's like l a times,

1243
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: they're not swallowing any losses there. Let me well, I

1244
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: mean all the all the airlines are canceling, um change fees.

1245
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: So it's fine, I'm not using any money. Yeah that's awesome. UM,

1246
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. Uh, you said you

1247
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: had your flight book did you have your bad pack?

1248
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: You could be honest. I didn't did not because I

1249
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: had a later flight I'm a very last minute person.

1250
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: All right, Danny, let's get down to the game. UM.

1251
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know whether what I'm more shocked by Danny

1252
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: Green missing the open three or Mark Keith Morris just

1253
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: totally panicking and throwing the ball away. Any thoughts on

1254
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: the final play? Um? Did you hear anything from the

1255
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: players afterward? I thought Lebron comported himself pretty well considering

1256
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: what transpired from those two guys. Yeah, he did. Um.

1257
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I was. I feel bad for Danny Green because he's,

1258
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's such a good guy, and I know

1259
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: that I hope he's staying off social media today. Danny's

1260
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: had some struggled shooting lately. Uh, and that you know,

1261
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: Danny is a guy that, like he's come up really

1262
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: big and in playoffs before, and then there's times where

1263
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: the shot doesn't fall and that happens. I mean, I

1264
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: think the bigger issue was Marquis Morris because the Lakers

1265
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: they had so you know, they had that wide open

1266
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: shot by Danny, but then they also got the rebound

1267
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: and they had another chance and markets you know, the

1268
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: play that he made, it just it seemed a little

1269
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: bit like it was a panic move and the tought.

1270
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: The tough thing about being in the being in this

1271
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: setting is that we didn't get to talk to either

1272
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: of those guys last night, and in a in a

1273
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: normal finals, they would be in the locker room and

1274
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: they would have to be available, and we would have

1275
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: been able to ask them. I mean, I'm less im.

1276
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: I was less curious about what Danny had to say

1277
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and more curious about Marquis because it did just seem

1278
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: like he had panicked. Wow, So okay, so tell me

1279
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: who was available last night? Obviously I saw Lebron and

1280
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: I heard your question. But Vogel, I'm assuming Vogel, Lebron,

1281
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: a d or available every game and then they usually

1282
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: put it a few players on the locker room camp

1283
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: whether do two? So they picked Alex Cruiser and Kyle

1284
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: Cusin my last interesting huh? And you guys have no

1285
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: saying who can be those two guys? I mean, Carusoe

1286
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: was a non factor. I'm surprised. Are you surprised Cuzin

1287
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: wasn't in the game at the end? Well, you know,

1288
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: the heat really made a point of taking Cuzma out

1289
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 1: of the games, and you know they were he had

1290
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: been he had had a few games where he was

1291
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: much more successful than he was last night. So I

1292
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: think that that was a that was a plan for

1293
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: the heat, and that was something that they were glad

1294
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: to be able to execute last night. I thought Markith

1295
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Morris Tania was you know, it's probably his worst game

1296
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: of the Bubble of the Bubble playoffs, and he was good.

1297
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: He's at his games, but I mean, total non factor

1298
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: in twenty three minutes, and he can't guard Jimmy Butler. Right,

1299
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: we can agree on this. He has no chance against

1300
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler on the post. Yeah, I mean, I think

1301
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: their their plan is to just do as much size

1302
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: of him as possible. But he's you know, he really

1303
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: needs to be Jimmy really needs to be guarded by

1304
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: you know, their best, their best defenders. But like that's

1305
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: a problem. You can't put thirty five year old Lebron

1306
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Butler, can you, Tanya? Not? From the jump?

1307
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron's gotta run the offense, score set up everybody, Uh,

1308
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: run the fast breaks. Like, I don't think it's feasible

1309
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: to ask a thirty five year old to guard Jimmy

1310
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Butler that early in the game, do you, well, they

1311
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: also have Anthony Davis to to be able to do that,

1312
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: and that's I think that was that was a plan

1313
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: that worked pretty well for them in game four. So

1314
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it's I mean a d

1315
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: had the ankle injury or the foot injury, and he

1316
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: he's a little bit limited by that last night, and

1317
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: he definitely took advantage of that. Is there a third

1318
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: player that you think maybe gets a crack at Butler?

1319
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Would they try Kuzma? I know he does like to

1320
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: jump on pump fakes, which is bad news against Butler,

1321
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 1: But I mean Caruso k CP, these guys have no chance.

1322
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Butler is a killer in there. Yeah, I mean that's

1323
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, the their plan is just the thirst size

1324
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: at him and you it's got to be sides that

1325
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: can move also, so um, you know that it's it's, uh,

1326
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, when you watch the game last night, it

1327
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a game that's a fluke. It doesn't

1328
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: feel like something that the heat can't do again. Yeah,

1329
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,560
Speaker 1: I came out of that game really thinking that the

1330
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: Lakers are might be in trouble. Yeah, and you definitely

1331
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: don't want to have to go and do a game

1332
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: seven having been up three one. With so many young

1333
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: guys on this Laker team, let me ask you tany

1334
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: quickly about Duncan Robinson. I mean, this is the guy

1335
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: who could not do anything in the first two games.

1336
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,759
Speaker 1: The Lakers had him totally locked down, and he erupts

1337
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: for twenty six last night. I thought he was phenomenal. Um.

1338
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: Did the Lakers talk at all about their inability to

1339
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: stay with him? I know KCP fell asleep a couple

1340
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: of times. Um, yeah we didn't. I don't remember it.

1341
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: You know. The thing about a game like that is that,

1342
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: like there's just as a reporter, there's so much going

1343
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: on that you have to have to manage. Because there

1344
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: were times in the late in the fourth quarter that

1345
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: I thought, I have to get my game story about

1346
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,680
Speaker 1: the the championship ready. Um, And so I don't. I

1347
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,759
Speaker 1: don't know if they asked too many questions about Duncan

1348
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: Robinson after the game. Um, but he was Yeah, he

1349
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: was incredible and there was really I don't know if

1350
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: he saw this, but there was a really fun story

1351
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: written about him and his life right now in the

1352
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: Boston Globe and it quoted like his best friend who's

1353
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: with him in the Bubble, who was just like so

1354
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: star struck that Lebron came and said hi to him,

1355
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: and it was you know, I think this is it's

1356
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a cool story like these are.

1357
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: This is the kind of moment that someone like that

1358
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: can really like make a legacy for themselves in in

1359
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: my league history. Role. Wow, I'll have to look that

1360
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 1: one up, all right, Tony. I guess my final question

1361
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 1: is when Jimmy Butler had that monster Games three, they

1362
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: were down to oh, he went for the forty point

1363
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: like twelve rebound, nine asis whatever, it was, maybe a

1364
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: triple double. Um. He came out in Game four with

1365
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: a D on him and he looked a little fatigued.

1366
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: A D slowed him and the Lakers were able to win.

1367
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Do you think that scenario plays out again in game six?

1368
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Because I just wonder if they're going to get forts

1369
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: again from Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn combined. That doesn't

1370
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: seem sustainable. Yeah, I mean, the thing is that they've

1371
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: they found different ways to do it, um, And you know,

1372
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the Lakers should be able

1373
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: to solve those defensive issues and they should be they

1374
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: have been a good team this year. Um, when they've

1375
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: they've never lost after a loss in the playoffs this season,

1376
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: so um, that's that's I mean, you know they it's

1377
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of an obvious guy because they won their first

1378
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 1: three series in five games, so of course they didn't

1379
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: lose after a loss, but they all season they that

1380
01:12:58,120 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: was also a big thing for them. They had a

1381
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: they had a four game moving streak in December, but

1382
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: other than that, and then they also lost back to

1383
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: that game before and after, um, Kobe Bryant died, but

1384
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: those are different circumstances. Um, other than that, before they

1385
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: got to the bubble, they just never lost twice in

1386
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: a row, and so, um, that's something they've been good

1387
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: at that. So if I wouldn't I mean, I wouldn't

1388
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: rule out them making the adjustments that they need to

1389
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 1: make obviously, um, and and trying and figuring it out

1390
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: in Game six. But it's I just thought it one

1391
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 1: more tiny I'll let you go on this one. I'm

1392
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna think that Vogel tweaked the starting lineup because it

1393
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: just felt like Dwight Howard was a total zero and

1394
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: he ended up getting into it with Butler and then

1395
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: committed the flagrant foul. I mean, why not just end

1396
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: that charade and start Morris and a d Ay Night.

1397
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: I think that's possible. Um, Frank has has made some

1398
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: decisive moves like that in the past, and like, at

1399
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: this point, what do you you know, Like, what do

1400
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: you have to leave? At this point? You need to

1401
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: like if if that's what's necessary, I think it's that.

1402
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: All right, Tanya, enjoy game six. Hopefully there won't be

1403
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: a game seven and we'll pull you all right, Thank you,

1404

Speaker 1: he gave the thumbs up. Um. I can't believe that

1411
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: in like less than two weeks, TikTok turned a video

1412
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,759

1432
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: real quick before Fleetwood back, so I looked up that

1433
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson story that Tany had just told us about.

1434
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Hilarious anecdote it'll just take five seconds. Hang on. So

1435
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson's best friend goes to the bubble to hang

1436
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: out with him, and during the conference semifinals, Bucks Heat,

1437
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson and his buddy You're eating in the cafeteria

1438
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: and Lebron is at a table nearby I and Lebron

1439
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: walks over and goes, what up, Dunk? And he DAPs

1440
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: up Duncan Robinson and his Duncan Robinson. His buddy goes,

1441
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: my jaw just dropped. I don't get starstruck, but it's

1442
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 1: Lebron and I couldn't believe he called him Dunk like

1443
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: they were childhood friends or something. Duncan, in the deepest

1444
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 1: voice he could, goes, what up? Man? And I was like,

1445
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: did you just say what up? Man? To Lebron? What

1446
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: world are we living in now? Don't get Robinson, dude,

1447
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And you know what my first takeaway from

1448
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: that was, I gotta look at Duncan Robinson's contract. I

1449
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: bet Lebron's like, let's get this sharp shooter. He's the

1450
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 1: next Kyle korver Um. But listen, that was kind of

1451
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: a joke, but not really. The Lakers do need a

1452
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: sharp Shooter All right, onto Fleetwood Mac. So can you

1453
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 1: play the song again? I was sa him real quick, Okay.

1454
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:59,879
Speaker 1: My parents came to America, my mom in the seventies,

1455
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: my dad, I think in the early sixties or late fifties,

1456
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and um, you know, they're from the Caribbean,

1457
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: and they didn't love a lot of the American music.

1458
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: They still listened to a lot of the Caribbean music,

1459
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: but the one band that they latched onto in the

1460
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: seventies was Fleetwood Mac. They loved Fleetwood Mac. And so

1461
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,600
Speaker 1: when I was a kid and my brother, you know,

1462
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: when we were kids, my parents would play a lot

1463
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: of Fleetwood Max. So when I'm like a teenager, you know,

1464
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting all these dr dre that awesome epic album

1465
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 1: from Snoop Dog Doggy Style, and in my car, I

1466
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: would have all a lot of rap, some like sound

1467
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: Guard in Nirvana and then Fleetwood Mac and a lot

1468
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: of my buddies to what is Fleetwood Mac? Like, people

1469
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: didn't know that we were teenagers, and I'll be like, oh,

1470
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: this album rocks so many good songs. And I had

1471
01:17:58,120 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: I think I've told this before. I had to twelve

1472
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: subs that I put in the back of my dad's

1473
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Volvo Sedan, very nerdy, and I would blast me some

1474
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Mac sometimes. And I vividly remember I got a

1475
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: job at this weekly newspaper junior year in high school,

1476
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: at sixteen or seventeen, and I would have to drive

1477
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: there after school one or two days a week, and

1478
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: it was on you know, if anybody around here knows

1479
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 1: the northern Virginia, DC area, you know, so you it

1480
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: was before the rush hour traffic would hit. This was

1481
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: after school, like two three o'clock, and I would be

1482
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 1: windows down in the Volvo blasting Fleetwood Mac on the

1483
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 1: highway a lot, because it's just I'm telling you that

1484
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 1: that Fleetwood Mac album, it is epic. It just puts

1485
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: a smile on your face. And I was so happy

1486
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: to see that TikTok meme. That dude whoever he is,

1487
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: skateboarding and drinking what was the drink? It was ocean

1488
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: spread cranberry. By the way, I don't even like cranberry juice.

1489
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a vodka cranberry guy. I know a lot

1490
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: of people mixed scranberry. I I don't even like cranberry.

1491
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: The first time I saw the video, I was like,

1492
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,440
Speaker 1: what is the big deal about this? It's a guy skateboarding.

1493
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: But then I like turned up the volume and got

1494
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: into the fleet. I was like, this is kind of cool.

1495
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of a vibe and boom. Now it's everywhere,

1496
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 1: and I'm glad the TikTok generation knows about Fleetwood Mac

1497
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: because of some dude on a skateboard drink. It's been

1498
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: saying how much it's skyrocketed to the top of the charts.

1499
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: It was hitting all these things that hadn't done in decades,

1500
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: but because of a viral mean Spotify iTunes, all these

1501
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: folks now are downloading this song. I would say, my

1502
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: artist that people don't expect me to be super into

1503
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: is Steve Winwood. I love Steve Winwood, higher love right, Yeah,

1504
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: that's awesome e stuff. Back in the high life. Yeah,

1505
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: back in the high life again? Is that? Oh that's

1506
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: an unbelievable song. Um, And so like I just of course,

1507
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: I um, I'm on social media and somebody put it

1508
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: in my timeline that like this girl in Nashville is

1509
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 1: singing that song and you know she only has a

1510
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: couple of Twitter followers or whatever. But then she's like, go,

1511
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: you know she got it went viral her singing and um,

1512
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: she wrote, go follow me on Instagram. So I just

1513
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: go look at her Instagram and it's like blowing up.

1514
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 1: She has like fifty followers. It's growing. Her video of

1515
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 1: her has like five thousand views, and and the song

1516
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. I was Sam Fleetwood Mac, Are you

1517
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: talking about a cover of the song? Yeah, she she's

1518
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: She's saying a cover of dreams. I've been listening to

1519
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: Fletwood Max since I was a teenagers teenager as well,

1520
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: so I don't know. If kids are seeing it through

1521
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 1: a TikTok video, then their parents need to do a

1522
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: better job of showing, says the music man. Coming up

1528
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I could build an entire segment

1529
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: out of Fleetwood Mac, but I thought it, well, well,

1530
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: I like those random I mean, listen. Unfortunately, it's one

1531
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: of those busy mornings. With the Lakers collapsing against the

1532
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler Duncan Robinson show, unbelievable game last night, My

1533
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: Yankees going down. Tough night in the MC entire household.

1534
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: But week five is upon us in the NFL. Um So,

1535
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,560
Speaker 1: I thought we'd bring in a really good guest. You

1536
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: guys know him, Todd Ferman bit on the show a

1537
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: million times. He does a podcast, Bet the Board, he

1538
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: does Fox Bet Live. He lives in Vegas. Um. I

1539
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 1: think he played hockey in college. Todd? Is that right?

1540
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: That that idea? It feels like a distant memory when

1541
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: we talked about twenty years ago, since I had any

1542
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: sort of athletic achievements, and uh lo and behold Jason,

1543
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: though I don't hold my Divisions three record of two

1544
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: wins and one loss between the pipes all too near

1545
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: and dear to Division three you and Duncan Robinson, you

1546
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: know two. Yeah, he's he's done a little bit more

1547
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: on a big stage on the CUSP, but potentially pulling

1548
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: off one of the bigger upsets we've seen in the

1549
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 1: NBA finals. I think the only way I'll ever get

1550
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: a championship ring from the four major sports, that if

1551
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I buy one at a pawnch up. Yeah, what what

1552
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 1: are you doing to? You know, fix that your little

1553
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: hockey fix I'm assuming if you played Division three you're

1554
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: big hockey guy. Did you play in a league in Vegas?

1555
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's many ice rinks. You know what,

1556
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: Hockey has really grown out here. When the Golden Knights

1557
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: started the expansion franchise, you saw a boom, not only

1558
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: if youth hockey but also men's Really, but ironically enough,

1559
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: I have not put on my gear to go out

1560
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,839
Speaker 1: there and stop a hockey puck since my time in college.

1561
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: They're just not that same appeal deciding to a ninety

1562
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: slapshots fired at your head's going out there to play

1563
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: a little pickup basketball on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

1564
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: That's crazy you say that. I there's some dads I

1565
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: know who were really good high school players, played Division two,

1566
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: Division three, and they don't want to play. They're like, no,

1567
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: it's not that I'm what are you talking about? And

1568
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: I think it's the same thing you said, like you

1569
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: used to play for real and now like, what's the

1570
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: point of playing pick up? Well, that's the whole thing.

1571
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: You just get so accustomed playing at a high level.

1572
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 1: You know your body can't do a lot of the

1573
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: same things you've grown accustomed to. And hockey, especially playing goalie,

1574
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of appeal and a lure

1575
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 1: as you approach forty deciding that you want to be

1576
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: out there at eleven o'clock at night. The reflexes aren't

1577
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: quite what they want were. There are other ways to

1578
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 1: try and get that adrenaline Russia, and thankfully the gambling

1579
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: realm does provide that weekend weekend. You're a college hoops guy,

1580
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: you'll like this. In Pennsylvania, I would play a weekend

1581
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: game and there was a guy by the name of

1582
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: Mike Vreeswick who played at Temple with Mark Makon on

1583
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: that awesome Temple Owls team who went to the Elite eight.

1584
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: And he was a guy who really liked to still

1585
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 1: play talk trash dunked on people. Listen. I love hoops.

1586
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 1: But anyways, let's get let's let's do before the NFL,

1587
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 1: let's do NBA Finals. First of all, did you have

1588
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: any money on either side or any prop bets last night?

1589
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: And your thoughts on Game six? You know what, I

1590
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: haven't done a whole heck of a lot with this

1591
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: NBA Finals series, But I will are you watching these

1592
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,520
Speaker 1: numbers ping pong all over the place has been fascinating.

1593
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 1: We saw the Game one number with Miami a four

1594
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: and a half point underdog. Of course, with all the

1595
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: injuries to Gore and Drag and Bam had a bio

1596
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: number ballooned out to ten. Then you were talking about

1597
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,639
Speaker 1: a number that closed yesterday at seven and a half.

1598
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: And here we are going into Game six that I

1599
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of us believed it was a formality

1600
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers would win the NBA title. You're looking at

1601
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: the Lakers a five point favorite, right back to where

1602
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: we were for Game one, only a seven dollar favorite

1603
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: at fan duel to win the NBA title. And suddenly

1604
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: the pressure beginning to mount on Anthony Davis and Lebron

1605
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: James because the heat appeared to be playing with house money,

1606
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Butler has taken his game to another level.

1607
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: We knew what he was capable of doing, but I

1608
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 1: don't think anybody in their wildest dreams anticipated the kind

1609
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: of impact he could have from start to finish in

1610
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: the bubble. I mean, it's it's a tough break for

1611
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: the NBA with the scheduling, UM, Sunday night, it's going

1612
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: to go up against Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins. Uh,

1613
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: you gotta watch Kirk Cousins in primetime. Obviously, UM, my

1614
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: early lean would be Lakers because that Game three, when

1615
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 1: Butler went off Game four, he looked a little tired.

1616
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis locked him down, and the Lakers one. I

1617
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 1: don't my early lean would be Lakers here, but any thoughts,

1618
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's probably the only way to

1619
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 1: look as the number continues to crash. You know the

1620
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: general public will gravitate towards the Lakers, but you have

1621
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: to think they're gonna put together a complete effort. For me,

1622
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: I'll look a little bit at the total, and while

1623
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of wiggle room, I do think

1624
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna see these two teams commit at the defensive end.

1625
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: You look back over the last couple of games, you

1626
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: haven't had a single team shoot better than fort from

1627
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 1: the floor, and now want Miami shot more than from

1628
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: beyond the arc last night. Uh, Getting open looks from

1629
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 1: three have been relatively tough to come by. I think

1630
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: even a two fourteen and a half to fifteen. I

1631
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: make a slight case to go under with both these teams,

1632
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: knowing what's at stake. I'm with you, all right, let's

1633
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: get to Week five in the NFL, Todd, I'm in

1634
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: that circuit contest. Pretty good start twelve seven and one.

1635
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the leaders eight team one and one,

1636
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. But I'm curious just to your thoughts

1637
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: when you look at the card of big spreads, eight

1638
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: games currently our our touchdown or more anything jump out

1639
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: at you that you like. And I know, listen, a

1640
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of the audience are gonna be like, oh, well, yeah,

1641
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: well I like this team. I like Pittsburgh Arizona. But

1642
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: I don't know you. You probably see a bigger edge

1643
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: in totals right than you do. Uh sides, Well I do.

1644
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I do think we're gonna see some opportunity to beat

1645
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: a lot of these games under the total. It's not

1646
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 1: going to be for this Haina heart by any stretch

1647
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: of the imagination. Knowing that we're about to see the

1648
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: highest average total in a week of NFL football then

1649
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in the past, surpassing last weekend's numbers

1650
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,800
Speaker 1: that finished in the mid when the high forties, we're

1651
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 1: talking about an average total of north of fifty. But

1652
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned some of those big dogs that are out there,

1653
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: and there's two specifically that have caught my eye. One

1654
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Bengals, a twelve and a half point

1655
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: pup against the Ravens. We know Lamar Jackson, by John

1656
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's account, is going to be a full go. But

1657
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: when you're missing practice with a knee injury and illness,

1658
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 1: how after they to let him run the football. And

1659
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: if you can take away Lamar's running ability, I'll take

1660
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 1: my chances with getting double digits that he can't beat

1661
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: me as a pocket passer. I think we've seen enough

1662
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: from Joe Burrow to realize, hey, look, this guy is

1663
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: truly special, and if the offensive line can keep him upright,

1664
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: they have enough firepower to keep this game inside that

1665
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: nearly two touchdown price tag. And the other one is

1666
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 1: a little bit of a travel situation working in the

1667
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: favor of Washington. The Rams are going to the East

1668
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Coast for the third time in four weeks. They have

1669
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: a massive game within the division against San Francisco next week,

1670
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: and Washington pulling the plug on Dwayne Haskins. I think

1671
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: sends a message to everyone on that Washington football team

1672
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 1: that hey, look we're in this division race, nobody is

1673
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: running away with it. We have an elite level defense,

1674
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: and if Kyle Allen can protect the football, they get

1675
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson involved, that this may be an excellent chance

1676
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: for Washington to sneak up on an opponent and maybe

1677
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: even went out right against the Rams team to look

1678
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: pre pedestrian offensively amassing two D forty yards last week

1679
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: and and that win against the Giants. Yeah, I'm I'm

1680
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: with you on Washington. I had Peter King on my

1681
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 1: podcast and he basically, you know, he's tight with Ron Rivera.

1682
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: He spelled out the same thing you did. Listen, this

1683
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 1: division could be had we got the Giants coming up

1684
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,919
Speaker 1: wise in four weeks, We've got the Bengals, the Lions.

1685
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: This is winnable. And if you remember last year, Kyle

1686
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: Allen came in Todd and the first four games, I mean,

1687
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: he looked like he was could have been a starter.

1688
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: Right they were rolling. He had no turnovers I think,

1689
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 1: or no interceptions, and then you know the wheels fell

1690
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: off against the forty niners. Um. But yeah, I'm with you.

1691
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I think Washington's a good dog here. Do you don't

1692
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: play a lot of favorites, do you? Or or are

1693
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 1: you more of a numbers guy than like a team

1694
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: or a spot. Uh? And I think we've talked about

1695
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: that before, right, Yeah, it's definitely more numbers based. Hey,

1696
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: if I think a favorite should be a nine and

1697
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: a half ten point chalk in a particular game and

1698
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: the markets canna allow me to lay six and a half,

1699
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I won't shy away from that by any stretch of

1700
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the imagination. But typically in the NFL, you know as

1701
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 1: well as I do that you gravitate towards the bad teams.

1702
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: They're typically the ones that are inflated. And then you

1703
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 1: sit there and bang your head through your desk when

1704
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: you watch Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers continue to cover

1705
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: spreads with alarming regularity. So it's always when it comes

1706
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 1: to football, specifically the f FELL, you typically have three outcomes.

1707
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 1: The favorite can win, the underdog can lose but cover,

1708
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 1: or the underdog can went out right. And while that's

1709
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: an oversimplification, it's typically a philosophy. I gravitate towards more

1710
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,839
Speaker 1: than anything else. But when you're betting dogs in the NFL,

1711
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: and the numbers don't really lie. If you can pick

1712
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: the outright winner, or excuse me, if you can pick

1713
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 1: the outright winner and it's an underdog, oftentimes things are

1714
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 1: gonna work out in your favor. So I would always

1715
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,879
Speaker 1: encourage people to allocate a little bit of their bankroll

1716
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 1: towards betting some of those dogs on the money line

1717
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, it's a tough sell betting against Russell Wilson.

1718
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I did it like an idiot last week with the Dolphins,

1719
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 1: and they were there, right, I mean, if not for

1720
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: some red zone ineptitude. Uh, and the end of the half,

1721
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what a debacle that was. You know, maybe

1722
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins get me cash for me there. But I'm curious,

1723
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 1: how do you handle big favorites. Um, let's take, for instance,

1724
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: Philly and Pittsburgh. I've liked Pittsburgh all week, and I'm

1725
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: surprised the numbers still seven maybe a seven and a

1726
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: half out there. But Philly is not a bad team.

1727
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: So it's not one of those like hold your nose

1728
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: and and and hope it doesn't go awry. I mean,

1729
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Philly's like supposed to be good a lot of people

1730
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: had them winning the division coming into the season. Um,

1731
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:10,560
Speaker 1: are you surprised that number hasn't moved or do you

1732
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: have any reasons why you think it hasn't. I think

1733
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 1: when you look at these two teams, there are a

1734
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: number of questions and if we start with Pittsburgh, what

1735
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: will they look like on the heels of that you know,

1736
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: unforeseen bye week? Big Ben talking about how it came

1737
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier than anticipated. Uh, he was working

1738
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: into a rhythm. We're not quite sure if they'll be

1739
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,599
Speaker 1: a little bit of Russ there, But ultimately I think

1740
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: Philadelphia still smoking mirrors. Yes, they won the game last

1741
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 1: week outright as more than a touchdown underdog against San Francisco,

1742
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 1: but they were gift wrapped some of those points. I

1743
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,920
Speaker 1: don't think Carson Wentz has looked anything close at the

1744
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: elite level quarterback. A lot of us anticipated he'd be

1745
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: at this point in his career, and it's not all

1746
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: on him when you look around at the receiving corps

1747
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: and there's fresh faces there all the time. But an

1748
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 1: interesting trend on this particular game, Jason, since two thousand

1749
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: ten teams off a straight up win as an underdog

1750
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 1: of six or more points who are dogs of six

1751
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: or more. The subsequent week, those teams have gone three

1752
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 1: and fifty straight up just thirteen thirty nine and one

1753
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: against the number. So those are some pretty strong trends

1754
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: to support. You might want to see your clear Philadelphia

1755
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: as they had West in the Keystone. You're gonna have

1756
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: to repeat that. I gotta get a pen and right

1757
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 1: down three and fifty Todd that's crazy. Yeah, three and

1758
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 1: fifty straight up and just thirteen thirty nine and one

1759
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: against the number. Wow. Okay, now that's that's really Now again,

1760
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: let's let's for the for the gamblers out there, and

1761
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 1: we know there's a lot of new money in the

1762
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 1: market this year. Um, what do you make of these trends?

1763
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like it's a it's a big

1764
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 1: bowl of soup, you know, you put it a bunch

1765
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: of stuff and then you spit out a numbers side like.

1766
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 1: You don't obviously blindly bet trends, right, but that one

1767
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: is pretty jarring. No, you don't blindly bet these by

1768
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 1: any strategy imagination, because you can always find a trend

1769
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: to support an angle that you want to attack. But

1770
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 1: certain times there are situations that show up and or

1771
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: some unique historicals, whether it pertains to travel, whether it

1772
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 1: pertains the how teams handle a little bit of prosperity

1773
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: and how the market prices them in subsequent week. So

1774
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,639
Speaker 1: I do think there are some avenues that are worth

1775
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: going down. And I find this one fascinating that more

1776
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 1: or less suggests that once you get a herculean effort

1777
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 1: to beat a team that you're a big underdog against

1778
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: one week, it's rare for that team to repeat that

1779
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 1: kind of effort the following week. That's good. Todd Furman,

1780
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,640
Speaker 1: Fox Pet Live. Let me ask you this, Todd. So

1781
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 1: last week I was a little surprised by all the injuries,

1782
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: right and non quarterback injuries, I should say. And I

1783
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: looked at the Saints and I said, man, they're down

1784
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:35,599
Speaker 1: six starters, both cornerbacks. Michael Thomas give me. The Lions

1785
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: didn't matter, you know, saying still covered despite being down

1786
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. And there were like three other games. I mean,

1787
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: the Seahawks were missing three defensive starters, two guys in

1788
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: the secondary, didn't matter. Um, I just wonder how much

1789
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: do you value non quarterback injuries? And we're seeing something

1790
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: this week as well throughout the league. Well, I think

1791
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,560
Speaker 1: non quarterback injuries are oftentimes where you get more of

1792
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:01,839
Speaker 1: an opera community, because those are the ones that typically

1793
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 1: aren't built into the point spread. We know that if

1794
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers isn't available, books are gonna have to overhaul

1795
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,839
Speaker 1: what that number looks like for the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile,

1796
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: you look at the Dallas Cowboys a little bit of

1797
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: a different story. You're talking about no Tyrone Smith yet again,

1798
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 1: no Joe Luney on their offensive line. Yet the number

1799
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 1: doesn't do a whole heck of a lot. You've seen

1800
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 1: a move from roughly nine and a half to eight,

1801
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 1: So it doesn't change the fundamental handicap if you don't

1802
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 1: think those players absences are properly accounted for. You mentioned

1803
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:29,640
Speaker 1: the Saints, and I was actually on the Lions in

1804
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 1: the first half. Thought I was in a great spot

1805
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: with that early four teen nothing lead. But credit to

1806
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 1: New Orleans who scores touchdowns on five straight drives. Detroit

1807
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:39,400
Speaker 1: we know as a team that doesn't make a whole

1808
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 1: lot of adjustments, and ultimately sometimes the best laid plans

1809
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 1: don't come to fruition. So it's always a tough give

1810
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: and take figuring out exactly, Hey, which player's absence is

1811
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: ultimately going to make an impact. Typically in a one

1812
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 1: week sample size, you get everybody who raises their level

1813
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 1: of play, But over the course of two to three weeks,

1814
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Water is going to meet at the level and you

1815
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: can't perform in the NFL without your top cover corners.

1816
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 1: All right, let you ask you about the Texans real quick. Uh,

1817
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: they fire Bill O'Brien. Uh, I don't know that Romeo Cornell,

1818
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: who I think the oldest coach in the NFL history

1819
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: now at seventy three or whatever it is. I don't

1820
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 1: know that it's an upgrade, but he's not Bill O'Brien,

1821
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: which is a huge bonus. They still don't have a

1822
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 1: defense whatsoever. But I feel like they might be the

1823
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: side at six and a half, but it's now down

1824
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: to five and a half. So is this sharp money?

1825
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: Is this public money? I know five's kind of a

1826
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:27,920
Speaker 1: dead number, but we did see I think it was

1827
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: week two, were like three games landed on five with

1828
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: the you know, with a longer extra points to two

1829
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 1: point conversions. Any thoughts on the Jags Texans? You know,

1830
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 1: this one's been interesting because you have two very different

1831
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 1: schools that thought on this particular contest. You mentioned some

1832
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 1: sharp money that did come in on the underdog at

1833
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,720
Speaker 1: six and a half number, though at five and a

1834
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 1: half there were other groups that had a slightly different mindset.

1835
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: And again with Bill O'Brien out of the fold, is

1836
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 1: this inspire the Houston Texans? Do we see a more

1837
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 1: complete game plan? And is it enough for the Jacksonville

1838
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars to overcome a couple of defensive injuries? Is d

1839
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,040
Speaker 1: J Hayden was it on? I are? We know C. J.

1840
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 1: Henderson isn't gonna be a hundred percent and we're still

1841
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: not sure off Miles Jack's availability for this one. It's

1842
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: a game where it's real tough to lay nearly a

1843
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,080
Speaker 1: touchdown with a winless football team that's lacked an offensive identity.

1844
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 1: But I'm not quite sure what we're going to get

1845
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: out of the Jags. And while fifty four and a

1846
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: half doesn't give you a tunnel wigger room, I actually

1847
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,719
Speaker 1: think the total offers a little bit of value under

1848
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 1: but ultimately not a game side or total. It's gonna

1849
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 1: make my betting mark, all right, Todd Furman. You can

1850
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter at Todd Furman. You see him

1851
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 1: on Fox Bet Live, He's got to Bet the Board podcast.

1852
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: He's everywhere. He's Todd Ferman. Good stuff, Todd enjoy the weekend.

1853
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. Good luck to your pick. All right,

1854
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:40,839
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, Todd. Um. I'm told now, Isaac Lowan

1855
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 1: Kron has some breaking news. Isaac, what do you got

1856
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: for us? Jason Adam Schefter has just reported that a

1857
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,639
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears practice squad player, as well as a strength

1858
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: and conditioning coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, have tested

1859
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 1: positive for COVID nineteen. The Bears, of course, we're off

1860
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 1: yesterday after their win on Thursday Night Football against the

1861
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's the first positive test in the

1862
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:10,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs organization since practice squad quarterback Jordan's Tamu tested positive

1863
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 1: a week ago. So Kansas City Chiefs strength and conditioning

1864
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: uh had a Bears practice squad player. Bears practice squad. Okay,

1865
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the impact for tomorrow, Isaac Um. I

1866
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: guess they'll just have to test everybody, and maybe this

1867
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: game is now in jeopardy. Yeah, and standards standardized across

1868
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 1: the league. They test everybody on Saturday mornings. Anyway, Now

1869
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the Raiders at home tomorrow, and of

1870
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 1: course it's it's immaterial as far as the Bears are

1871
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: concerned as well, and of course I should not listen.

1872
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: There are false positives out there. We had one of

1873
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 1: our neighbors who sent an email, oh I tested positive,

1874
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh, this is like, you know, to

1875
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,200
Speaker 1: a month in Oh my gosh, stay away, you know,

1876
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:58,599
Speaker 1: don't don't go near their house, like like seriously, remember guys, early,

1877
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:02,240
Speaker 1: that's what I'm early. That's how it was, like, oh

1878
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, the sign of the beast to put it

1879
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: on her door, you know, and then like you know,

1880
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm fine, no symptoms. And a day later

1881
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, you know, I tested again. It was negative,

1882
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 1: so it must have been a false positive. So these

1883
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 1: things happen. Um, But this is alright coming up next

1884
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 1: year on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know, NBA, NFL,

1885
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 1: we'll we'll do one of them. I mean it's fun.

1886
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 1: By the way, Early start from Missouri. Remember we just said, well,

1887
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of guys tested positive for COVID

1888
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: and they had like a seventy yard touchdown on their

1889
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: first drive. Take the leader on L s U and

1890
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 1: Florida the Kyle to Kyle connects Florida looks really sharp.

1891
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have watched much of them,

1892
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: but fast quarterback looks like a pro. The kid the Pitts.

1893
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: They just throwed him every time in the red zone.

1894
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: That's his seventh touchdown now in really two games, in

1895
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of the first quarter, and he looks

1896
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: like a man among boys out there. They double teaming

1897
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: and both times in the end zone he catches the

1898
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:01,600
Speaker 1: second one coming the NFL y. That guy looks like

1899
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: a first round luck. All right, we'll do sports Whats

1908
01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:45,639
Speaker 1: we got all the college football games on the screen

1909
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: here in the studio Florida A and M L s

1910
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,960
Speaker 1: U Missouri. There's no defense being played at all. None.

1911
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like the NFL early and um,

1912
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, lack of non conference schedule to work out

1913
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: the kinks, and it's just an offensive orgy. It's just

1914
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: guy's just throwing the ball wide open fifty yard plays.

1915
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean tackling is so. I mean it looks like

1916
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: a freshman tackling drills out there. Um all right, let

1917
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:19,599
Speaker 1: me go to n B A. I don't want, damn it, Jason,

1918
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to give this oxygen, but I feel

1919
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 1: like I have to kind of talk about it. I

1920
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 1: hate to do this. I would say, your IRA friends

1921
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: going to be so upset that I'm doing this. Um. So,

1922
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 1: as we were all ready to crown Lebron the greatest

1923
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:41,560
Speaker 1: of all time, and by all I mean me and

1924
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 1: some other people. Um, they lose Game five, right, but

1925
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 1: you could see people starting to build a narrative even

1926
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,759
Speaker 1: before it happened. And I'm gonna use Stephen A. Smith

1927
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: and as as an example. He goes on TV this

1928
01:39:55,560 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 1: week and says King James is playing in the softest era. Uh,

1929
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, and that's meant for the shock value,

1930
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 1: so that you'll say soft. Oh yeah, all these guys

1931
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: are soft jump shooters. Blah blah blah blah blaha, nonsense crap,

1932
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 1: that's what that is. It's total garbage, softest era. So

1933
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,760
Speaker 1: what happens is all these players come out and are like,

1934
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 1: you have no idea what you're talking about. None. You're

1935
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 1: an entertainer. You're a shock value guy who says stuff

1936
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: to get people robbed up. And you start looking into it,

1937
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, so, because there's a video of Kurt

1938
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: Ramba's getting clotheslined in, and because there's some you know,

1939
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: images of Michael Jordan's getting decapitated by the bad Boy Pistons,

1940
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:51,639
Speaker 1: and because Robert Parish just throwing haymakers at Bill Lambier.

1941
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: That's a tough era and this is a soft era.

1942
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 1: The perception is these players now are soft and they're

1943
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 1: coddled and their babies and it's just so dumb and uninformed.

1944
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:13,559
Speaker 1: Are the rules a little different, Yeah, of course they are.

1945
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Because the league was unwatchable when Michael Jordan retired, unwatchable.

1946
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 1: It was a horrendous basketball You go in the league

1947
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: it's a foul and people are living at the foul line,

1948
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 1: and the scores are like in the finals, like eight four.

1949
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: It's bad basketball, it's garbage. The product was crap. The

1950
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: players now are so much more skilled and smart and

1951
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: in better condition than ever before in the history of

1952
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:48,160
Speaker 1: the NBA. And it's crazy because in baseball we say, wow,

1953
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:54,480
Speaker 1: pictures throw harder. Uh, there's so much more data and information.

1954
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 1: The players are in better shape. In football, Oh my gosh,

1955
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,639
Speaker 1: the players are bigger, faster, stronger now than ever before.

1956
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 1: Computers right now are so much faster and better than

1957
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 1: they used to be years ago. So in every aspect

1958
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: of life and sports, everything is better now except the NBA.

1959
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:24,680
Speaker 1: Is it not funny how that works suddenly? Oh? This

1960
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: era is so soft and they're not tough, and everybody's like,

1961
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 1: what are we even doing? I think the thing when

1962
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 1: you compare eras is if you want to criticize Lebron

1963
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 1: for not playing in a tougher era or against uh

1964
01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 1: tougher teams, that's not his fault. He's playing when he

1965
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: was born against teams that exist while he's playing. But

1966
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,759
Speaker 1: you also can't hold it against Jordan's that he didn't

1967
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 1: play as long because he didn't have the advantages that

1968
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:55,520
Speaker 1: Lebron has. He has the health advantages, the technical advantages

1969
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So it's that's the problem with

1970
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 1: comparing era. It's yeah, there, it's you could say it's

1971
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:05,559
Speaker 1: a fool's errand to complain to compare Arras, he really

1972
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: talked about what was going on his rookie year when

1973
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,600
Speaker 1: guys were gambling, doing coke and all that stuff. He

1974
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:13,639
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want any part smoking at halftime

1975
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Okay, And this perception that the NBA

1976
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:22,560
Speaker 1: now is solved and it's just stupid. The NBA is

1977
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 1: way better and way tougher now, and I think that.

1978
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean, players from the ninth from the eighties and nineties,

1979
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, they've come out and said that

1980
01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: right now basketball is better than it's ever been. I mean,

1981
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:39,800
Speaker 1: winning in the NBA now is so much harder than

1982
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 1: it was back in the eighties and nineties. The only

1983
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 1: thing that really gets to me about the NBA today

1984
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:49,719
Speaker 1: is this thing where everyone just wants to chuck up threes,

1985
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: including at the end of the game. How about you

1986
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 1: guys missed the second free throw, so that Mark Kith

1987
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:58,639
Speaker 1: Morris has to shoot a ninety ft shot, not Lebron.

1988
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 1: Lebron practice is those half chord shots that he did,

1989
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:06,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But that's that there's such

1990
01:44:07,439 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: common sense strategy that should be used, including at the

1991
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 1: end of the game having a play for a two

1992
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 1: point shot. Not you're down by one point, you don't

1993
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: need a Danny Green wide open three. I mean, I

1994
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: just you just I don't know. It just frustrates me

1995
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 1: because it's not Lebron's fault for passing, but it is

1996
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 1: someone's fault for not having a better shot that like

1997
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 1: the mid range jumper. That's why I loved watching Jimmy

1998
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 1: Butler and Kauai. They actually shoot. You know, nothing was

1999
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: easy for them yesterday. But Butler is a master in that,

2000
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:41,479
Speaker 1: Like to ft. I mean, it feels like he's never

2001
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:44,719
Speaker 1: missing the shots that he had to put up compared

2002
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:48,639
Speaker 1: to Lebron in the paint just getting rebounds because there's

2003
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: no one that can guard them. I mean, there's no

2004
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: one down there that can compete with them. In him

2005
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 1: and a d it was so much easier for that.

2006
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 1: There was no layup that a heat player did that

2007
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 1: is not contested, not one. And when BAM's off the floor,

2008
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 1: Kelly Olenick. By the way, guys didn't even play last night.

2009
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: They are supposed to knew this is win or go home.

2010
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:09,800
Speaker 1: We got a tighten the bench. It was just Igu

2011
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 1: Dalla and Kendrick Nunn and none was fantastic. I mean

2012
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:17,839
Speaker 1: this idea that you know, Duncan Robinson is a marginal

2013
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 1: NBA player. He wasn't even supposed to be in the league.

2014
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: Now go look in the nineties, Steve Kerr, John Paxson,

2015
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,400
Speaker 1: those guys were starters. Duncan Robinson could barely get like,

2016
01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 1: he could barely make a roster in the league. And

2017
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, oh wait, there's a lot

2018
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: of value in that guy banging three score twenties six

2019
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 1: points last night. That's crazy. Well, we'll do one more

2020
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 1: NBA thing and then we'll wrap up NFL. But first

2021
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 1: let's go to Isaac Lowan front with what's trending. Jason

2022
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 1: we began in the National Football League and Adam Schefter

2023
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: reporting that the Chicago Bears practice squad player, as well

2024
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 1: as a strength and conditioning coach for the Kansas City Chiefs,

2025
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 1: have tested positive for co in nineteen. The Bears were

2028

Speaker 1: to host the Raiders tomorrow. Presently no change to the

2029
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:13,600
Speaker 1: status of that game. The New England Patriots returned to

2030
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 1: the practice field today as they get ready to host

2031
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 1: the Broncos on Monday Night Football. Cam Newton and Stefan Gilmour, however,

2032
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 1: did not practice today. The three and oh Tennessee Titans

2033

Speaker 1: Texas A and M tied at seven eleven minutes in

2037
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: Florida's touchdown coming out a five yard pass from Kyle

01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 1: Trask to Kyle Pitts. It's pitts seventh touchdown of the

2039
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:49,840
Speaker 1: season already this year. Eight rank North Carolina fourteen to

Speaker 1: seven left in the first quarter. They have just kicked

2046
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,679
Speaker 1: the extra point on the touchdown that they just scored

2047
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma now tend to nothing in that game. And finally,

2048
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 1: Jason one NBA note presented without comment. Los Angeles Lakers

2049
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 1: forward Mark Keith Morris, tweeting a short time ago, quote

2050
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 1: best thing about a loss is you get to really

2051
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 1: see who's with you and who ain't hashtag we right

2052
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 1: back unquote Jason back to you. So funny. Good find

2053
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,719
Speaker 1: on that, Isaac, because Tanya, if you were listening earlier,

2054
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: everybody Tany was like, we even get to talk to

2055
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 1: Mark Keith. The Lakers hid Morris and Danny Green from

2056
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 1: the media and said here's Caruso and Kuzma. Talk to them.

2057
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: Uh so, Mark Keith Morris, listen, Mark Keith, welcome to

2058
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,640
Speaker 1: being a player on the Lakers. This is what it's like.

2059
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:58,839
Speaker 1: Do you know they've been trying to run Kyle Kuzma

2060
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:02,519
Speaker 1: out of town for for months. Lakers fans can't stand

2061
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma. Gavin, I know you know this, Um. They

2062
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 1: have been like dumb petitions. It's not gonna happen, but

2063
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: petitions to please trade Kyle Kuzma last night, You guys,

2064
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,920
Speaker 1: don't I do the prop bets right for Fox Sports. Um,

2065
01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 1: and I've been crushing it. And Lebron's was hit at

2066
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 1: early fourth quarter, Jimmy Butler's hit like early third quarter.

2067
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: And I foolishly bet over one and a half threes

2068
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 1: for Kuzma, and a lot of people instantly were like,

2069
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 1: hey man, I took three of your bets last night.

2070
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: I took three way to go, and a torrent of

2071
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: people are just like, Kuzma is the worst. I hate

2072
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,600
Speaker 1: Kuzma trader, he said he's and people just don't like

2073
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma. Now listen, I think Gavin some of it is.

2074
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: Kuzma is like trying to be a playboy, you know,

2075
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 1: like dressing and posted new guy. I don't think. I

2076
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:58,759
Speaker 1: don't think he's girlfriend is a hot I g model

2077
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 1: that works against him. Like people get jealous, right. They

2078
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: looked at Alex Caruso's the effort guys that you know

2079
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 1: that have struggled. He's like the uh, the pretty boy

2080
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,479
Speaker 1: that comes in and he's not even good at basketball. Yeah,

2081
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: he's not good. He was good as rookie year, but

2082
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,759
Speaker 1: that's because the lead didn't know him. In a funny story,

2083
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm Risky Booth saying this, Yeah, we'll do that in

2084
01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 1: sa I know, Uh, one of my friends, her sister

2085
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:26,439
Speaker 1: was dating Caruso, and that was when like Caruso was

2086
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:28,959
Speaker 1: like this great story. We like him now the crusoe

2087
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden struggling a little bit and the burden

2088
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: of expectations, shall we say, is a little higher, uh

2089
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 1: for Alex Cruser right now, and he's not doing well.

2090
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the Geico play of the day,

2091
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 1: crash fuck you to throw fires it off to the

2092
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,600
Speaker 1: intel and it's gonna be part for a touchdown for

2093
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: the tight end pile pitch. Oh my, what an opening

01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 1: g College Florida Gators getting on the board. That was

2096
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: the kid Pits. They just scored again. This one was

2097
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 1: not Pits. This game is is definitely gonna be going over.

2098
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean we're looking at twenty one points in the

2099
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,600
Speaker 1: first quarter. Nobody's stopping anybody. Missouri l s use a

2100
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 1: shootout um Oklahoma Gavin Gavin told me he liked Texas

Speaker 1: He's distraught. Early. Yeah, it's early. Did you know? Right

01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 1: crazy start. Um, it is just weird. The Laker fans,

2110
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't deal with loss as well.

2111
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 1: Like they don't like Kusa, they don't like MARKI Morris,

2112
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 1: they really don't like Danny Green. Tany out Earlier was like,

2113
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,720
Speaker 1: I hope Danny Green doesn't go on social media, and

2114
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:12,480
Speaker 1: I had you guys know him, Rob g who produces

2115
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 1: the podcast I do, Gavin knows him. He's texting me.

2116
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: Stopped defending Danny Green because he's your neighbor and I

2117
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 1: I can't kill Danny Green. He's got to make that shot.

2118
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 1: Guys making seven eight billion dollars a year gotta make

2119
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,599
Speaker 1: that shot. He's a nice guy, but you gotta make

2120
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: that shot. Danny Green and Markey Morris. Listen, I don't

2121
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 1: know that. I would say to Markis Morris to his face, dude,

2122
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,240
Speaker 1: you panicked what happened? Because we know the Morris twins

2123
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:43,240
Speaker 1: don't play, They do not mess around. Um, you don't.

2124
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 1: It's it's Mark Keith Morris. Like that's why you wanted

2125
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,599
Speaker 1: Marcus Morris right like you. I don't think Marcus Morris

2126
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: makes that, but I think he takes the shot for one. Um.

2127
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, then the other thing that I think this

2128
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:01,640
Speaker 1: is controversial to say, but lay fans and the do

2129
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: it for Kobe thing as if that's what his family

2130
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,680
Speaker 1: is concerned about. It's really insulting. I don't get it.

2131
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: I don't. Yesterday I was hearing, oh, they're gonna do

2132
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 1: another four one sweep because Kobe was forty one when

2133
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: he passed. Like, what are we doing? You nerds? You

2134
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 1: absolute nerds? Like leave the family alone. I will say, Um,

2135
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: the Kobe stuff is it's ridiculous. It's both teams want

2136
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 1: to win a title, okay, and and dragging a family

2137
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: into it is really ridiculous. Listen, Lakers Lakers. I will

2138
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 1: get very nervous if they're trailing heading into the fourth quarter,

2139
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:52,559
Speaker 1: because you guys have seen the stat what is it, oh,

2140
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:56,519
Speaker 1: something like that when heading into the fourth quarter of

2141
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,840
Speaker 1: the season never been done undefeated. Many teams have done

2142
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 1: one loss. UM, and the Lakers last night heading into

2143
01:53:03,479 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 1: the fourth were down I think like seven and or

2144
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 1: five or seven, and balloon to eleven quickly. Um. Vogel

2145
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 1: tried to rest a d had to bring him back instantly. UM.

2146
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: I think what I would worry about is the minutes

2147
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 1: that are on Lebron right now. That was I think

2148
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:19,080
Speaker 1: he he looked like that was going to be his

2149
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,880
Speaker 1: last game of the season. He left everything out there,

2150
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 1: and then you pair that with with eighties ankle. We

2151
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:27,720
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about that yet, but if he's

2152
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 1: even hobbled in that game, that is a concern. But

2153
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 1: otherwise I don't see this going seven. I think they

2154
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,519
Speaker 1: wrap it up on Sunday. So Lebron did his part,

2155
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: as you said, left it all out all Lebron game yesterday.

2156
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:46,679
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis also awesome. UM eight points, twelve boards, three blocks,

2157
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 1: three seals, three assists. It's the other guys who had

2158
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: been showing well. I mean, Dwight Howard's looks unplayable in

2159
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 1: the series. Wouldn't surprise me if Morris got to start. Uh,

2160
01:53:56,520 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: Danny Green three of eight k CP six of fifteen

2161
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 1: more Morris. I mean, what a game for Morris twenty

2162
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 1: three minutes? Oh for two? Zero points in twenty three minutes. Like,

2163
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 1: what are you doing on the court for twenty three minutes?

2164
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:13,719
Speaker 1: You got one freaking rebound, zero assists, no blocks, no steals.

2165
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 1: You did nothing. You went on the court, foul Jimmy

2166
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: Butler a ton and then you know, basically crapped your

2167
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:22,760
Speaker 1: pants in the in the final six seconds. That's what

2168
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: you did, Markis Morris and I would never say that

2169
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:27,160
Speaker 1: to your face, but that's a reality. That's what you did.

2170
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm a little heated. Yeah, we gotta go to break

2171
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 1: the other thing, Gavin. I'm a little ticked off that

2172
01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 1: now the Lakers have to share Sunday Night with Sunday

2173
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:39,600
Speaker 1: Night Football, and I think I'm probably just purposely not

2174
01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 1: gonna gamble on Seahawks Vikings just so I can watch

2175
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 1: the finals. I'm gonna watch both, obviously, but I don't

2176
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 1: want the stress of gambling on the NBA and the NFL,

2177
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: like that's a lot of stress. It is. It's stress.

2178
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: It's not really stressful, but it can be. UM and fantasy.

2179
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 1: By the way, my fantasy teams were amazing last week.

2180
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: To know, and I know you don't care about fantasy teams.

2181
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: You don't, UM, but my fantasy teams are good and

2182
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 1: I've been spot on with my pickups. Gavin, how'd you do?

2183
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Vivin how he didn't fantasy? But oh,

2184
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: uh sorry, I've been working on some trades in fantasy.

2185
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 1: But uh, last week I was one and one. I'm

2186
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:23,880
Speaker 1: playing in two different leagues. My other league, you know,

2187
01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 1: with Sa Kwan and Courtland Sutton and all these guys

2188
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 1: that after Yeah, it's just and I'm trying to get

2189
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, if you have Mike Davis, would

2190
01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: you try to trade him? Yeah? I would because you're

2191
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, McCaffrey's comes back and his value is But

2192
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:41,640
Speaker 1: what if they decide we're not going to rush McCaffrey

2193
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:43,880
Speaker 1: back and then I get like four more weeks of Davis.

2194
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:47,080
Speaker 1: It's a tough spot because he's I don't think to

2195
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 1: trade him right now, not with the Atlanta Falcons Looming.

2196
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't guard me coming out of it.

2197
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying desperately to trade Lettavius Murray because he's about

2198
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 1: to hit a bye week. He's coming off a two

2199
01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:00,760
Speaker 1: touchdown game, right, and he's definitely one of the best

2200
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: handcuffs in the league. But I need a dancing partner

2201

2224
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:27,840
Speaker 1: gotta say, um, I love the idea of Lincoln Riley

2225
01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:30,560
Speaker 1: as a candidate for my New York Jets head coaching job.

2226

2231
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:48,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but then it pops out when it hits

2232
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 1: the ground. It looks like gators recover Anyways? Um, is

2233
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts in New York Jet next year? Trevor Lawrence

2234
01:57:56,640 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 1: actually actually wait, hold on, time on, hold up, Sam Donald,

2235
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 1: Jets have Seattle's number one pick. Seattle ain't gonna keep

2236
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 1: this up. We know that. So maybe Cole Pitts isn't

2237
01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: play in the twenties. Uh. Steve Hartman up next with

2238
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:14,160

2240
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 1: end the show in a rant. I don't give a

2241
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,560
Speaker 1: rats behind about the NBA TV ratings. I don't know

2242
01:58:22,640 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: what The only people that should are the NBA teams,

2243
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:30,960
Speaker 1: which could see the salary cap go down. But I

2244
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 1: don't think they're going down off one bubble tanking ratings. Now,

2245
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,040
Speaker 1: if the league comes back in January and the ratings

2246
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 1: still stink, then yeah, that's a problem. There is a

2247
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: reason Adam Silver just came out and said, yeah, that

2248
01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: social justice stuff will not be as evident next year,

2249
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:48,840
Speaker 1: nor should it. I mean, come on, well, some people

2250
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 1: don't believe that a lot of people want it. There.

2251
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,720
Speaker 1: You can't have I don't think you can have the

2252
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: jersey stuff. That's that was kind of dumb to begin with.

2253
01:58:55,240 --> 01:59:00,879
Speaker 1: Lebron didn't even do it right. Um, Like Andrea Goodala

2254
01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 1: has like something about economists on is Jersey. You see,

2255
01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:09,160
Speaker 1: You're like, what the hell is It's just vacation education. Yeah,

2256
01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: some of that stuff is just too crazy for the

2257
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 1: casual fans. They're like, what my my son remember watching

2258
01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers play, I think Denver and talent Horton Tucker

2259
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 1: got in the game. And the only reason he knows

2260
01:59:20,960 --> 01:59:25,240
Speaker 1: this Iowa State guy, right, Horton Tucker Taylor, Norton Tucker.

2261
01:59:25,280 --> 01:59:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Um, the only reason my son knows Horton

2262
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 1: Tucker because he has a team on two K and

2263
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 1: Horton Tucker was on the team and he sees Horton

2264
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: Tucker's jersey says black lives matter, and my son goes, wait,

2265
01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:40,200
Speaker 1: why doesn't he have his name on the back? Dad,

2266
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:42,640
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna know who he is? And he was a

2267
01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 1: percent right, nobody knows Horton Tucker. Um that that that's

2268
01:59:47,680 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 1: a little bit once they gotta do it, which is

2269
01:59:49,200 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: why I found it so funny that the biggest stars

2270
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a name on this. Yeah, because they know

2271
01:59:53,760 --> 01:59:57,160
Speaker 1: it's silly, but but but we know who Lebron is. Okay,

2272
01:59:57,760 --> 01:59:59,920
Speaker 1: so we don't need James. You could actually put educ

2273
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:03,600
Speaker 1: cation reform on the brunt, but Danny Green or whoever,

2274
02:00:04,120 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 1: maybe we want your name on there. Tyler Hero, Tyler,

2275
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:10,960
Speaker 1: what does Tyler Hero have on? I don't even care.

2276
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Um listen, the only way the ratings matter is if

2277
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 1: it impacts the salary cap and that the TV deals

2278
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:21,000
Speaker 1: are locked in. Okay for now. When there's a new

2279
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: TV deal, maybe the cap goes down and that's significant,

2280
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:28,200
Speaker 1: But in the short term, no no impact. Again, people

2281
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:30,600
Speaker 1: either like basketball or they don't. You're a casual fan.

2282
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 1: You like watching these awesome athletes uh play, or you don't,

2283
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: And NBA can't do anything about that. You're not gonna

2284
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: be able to man you facture basketball fan there either

2285
02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:45,080
Speaker 1: there or they aren't. Golf, Tiger Woods goes away. There

2286
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,560
Speaker 1: goes a huge segment of the golfing population. They're just

2287
02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: not watching anymore golf. Rightings go down, But the league

2288
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: can do things to not exclude a segment of their

2289
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:58,160
Speaker 1: fan base. They cannot be as they cannot boycott games

2290
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:00,960
Speaker 1: before they even know the case of which they're talking about.

2291
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:04,040
Speaker 1: That was also very shortsighted and foolish, but that's the

2292
02:01:04,120 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of stuff I'm talking about. There's a segment of

2293
02:01:06,240 --> 02:01:09,640
Speaker 1: the population that goes, this is ridiculous. I'm not Okay, wait,

2294
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:12,280
Speaker 1: so you think people actually said, boy, the Bucks boycotted

2295
02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 1: a game. I'm done with You know, the entire league

2296
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: boycotted games. It wasn't just the box well, the entire

2297
02:01:16,720 --> 02:01:19,920
Speaker 1: league for one one day or was it too? Yeah,

2298
02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:24,320
Speaker 1: but what about the the woman who was getting attacked

2299
02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:27,800
Speaker 1: in that situation, who was boycotting for her right listen.

2300
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:29,920
Speaker 1: There's definitely an argument to be made that that was

2301
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:33,480
Speaker 1: shortsighted and foolish, and I made that argument. I don't

2302
02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 1: think that's going to fly in the regular season. But

2303
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:38,120
Speaker 1: this is a topic for next week. Thank you everybody
