We have forty nine 83 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: ers Beat reporter Tracy Sandler an hour two to break 84 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: down the whole Brandon Ayuk situation because it's good dramatic. 85 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: We also have producer Patrick with us today or technical 86 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: producer Iowa Sam Brian Finley at the news deck. 87 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 5: So we're rockin'. 88 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: Okay, we are rocking, But let's start with the big 89 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: news that hit after the NBA Finals, which is again 90 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: it's so crazy that like that happened Monday and then 91 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: the news all week waiting for it finally to drop. 92 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: Was the Lakers have reportedly hired JJ Redick as our 93 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: next head coach, and JJ just. 94 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: Called the finals on ABC, but he apparently met. 95 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: With the Lakers vice president general manager Rob Paulinka, owner 96 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: Janie Buss last weekend and then Pelinka offered Redick the 97 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: job Thursday morning, according to sources. Now, nothing has officially 98 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: been announced yet by the Lakers. They haven't posted anything, 99 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: There isn't a press release. His buddy Lebron hasn't shared 100 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 2: anything yet. And JJ obviously has a strong relationship with Lebron. 101 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 2: He co Hos a basketball podcast together. And this also 102 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: comes a week after the Lakers offered early a six year, 103 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: seventy million dollar contract that he turned down early last week. 104 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of interesting things here right, one 105 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: of them being Lebron is towards the end of his career, 106 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: so he wants to win now wherever he is. So 107 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: how did JJ sell to the Lakers on his plan 108 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: to win now? How does a d feel about this? 109 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 2: Because there are reports that JJ wasn't his first pick 110 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: and and he just signed his extension last year, so 111 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: he still has three years under contract until twenty twenty eight, 112 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: with a player option in the final year. 113 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: Like, will JJ be successful? 114 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: Will the Lakers give him enough time to get successful? 115 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: Like at someone doing this for the very first time, 116 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: because since Phil Jackson, no coach has lasted more than 117 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: three seasons with the Lakers, including Frank Vogel, who won 118 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: a title, the Bubble Title right in twenty twenty, Like 119 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: will they let him figure it out as a rookie 120 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: coach because he could be great? We just I don't 121 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: think anybody can really make a point that he's going 122 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: to be great or bad at something that we have 123 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: never seen. 124 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: Yes, you don't have a sample size. We have a 125 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: sort of frame of reference for how he is as 126 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: a coach. You do see him spend what the first 127 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: five ten minutes of every podcast that he goes on 128 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: with Lebron breaking down certain aspects of the game during 129 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: a certain certain place. He gets on his little whiteboard 130 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: with his little red marker. Yes, he does all those 131 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 3: wonderful things, and he's very good about communicating that stuff, 132 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 3: which is why I think there's thing here with how 133 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: good of a coach he could be, because clearly he's 134 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 3: a good communicator. But at the same time, on a podcast, 135 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 3: you're breaking down basketball for fans. Yes, there's it's a 136 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 3: whole different thing when you're talking about the guys in 137 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: the room that you're now breaking stuff down to. Are 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: the elite of the elite. Yes, and so the communication 139 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: is a good sign for me. I think this could work. Obviously, 140 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: JJ Reddick was a good player in his own right, 141 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: a great player in his own right, has the track record, 142 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: clearly has the basketball mind. But my question throughout this 143 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: whole process and even now still is who's he bringing 144 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 3: with him? Who are his coaches? 145 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: Who's he surrounding yourself with, who has coaching and coaching 146 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 2: your experience? 147 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: Because when you are an experience coach, regardless of the 148 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 3: league that you coach, you are coming in with all right, 149 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: You're part of your interview is usually Hey, these are 150 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: my assistants, this is who I'm bringing in. This is 151 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: who's my stat Like they've done this, this and this, 152 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: they have this track record, they've been with me for 153 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: this long. Yeahad YadA, YadA. JJ Reddick doesn't have that 154 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 3: aspect to his interview, but he does have the most 155 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: important person currently in the Lakers organizations vote of approval, 156 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: which is Lebron Well. 157 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: Also, like I would say, he's still the most powerful 158 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: player in basketball in the NBA. And here's what we 159 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: do know, okay, because we do know a lot about JJ. Right, 160 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: He's an extremely hard worker. My good friend Richard Jefferson, 161 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: who was his TV partner this year, told me that, 162 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: So he's going to be prepared, and as you said, 163 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: we see him, yeah, one. 164 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: Of the most prepared players. 165 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: He has a great relationship, as you just mentioned, with 166 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: the star player on your team, Lebron James. So he's 167 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: going to get that respect right out of the gates 168 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: in the locker room because Lebron's going to make sure. 169 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: He's going to make sure that happens. He also has 170 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: a great basketball mind fifteen years in the league. And 171 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: then his former coach, Coach k one of the greatest 172 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: coaches of all time, shared that JJ will build a 173 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: culture that is conducive to winning. 174 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: And his belief in his ability when he was a 175 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: player was. 176 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: Top notch, and he can only imagine he's going to 177 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: have that same confidence and belief in himself over to 178 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: the coaching side. 179 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: And he loves the game. 180 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 5: He does. 181 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 4: He loves the game. You can see it in his work. 182 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: You can see the appreciation that he not only has 183 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: for the players, but everyone around the game. 184 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 5: JJ Reddick is a psycho. Yes, by his own words, 185 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 5: he went in a good. 186 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: Way, in a good way, a good sche No, when 187 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: you talk about you want a good psycho. 188 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 5: I was gonna say yes. The uh. 189 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: He went on the Poblatory Unpublatorious podcast back in January 190 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: and he said, I think a little crazy is fine. 191 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 3: What has served me well in life is this balance 192 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: of being even keeled but also being a psycho. Sometimes 193 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: that balance gets out of whack and I've dealt with 194 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: consequences because of that. 195 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 5: But you need a psychoa. 196 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: He's an obsessive personality to be the best what you're 197 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: doing it right way? 198 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think, but I also think that players 199 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: in the locker room really respond to that. And he 200 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: isn't that far removed from playing. He's only what six 201 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: months older than Lebron and though Lebron is the oldest 202 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: player in the league, but he's not that are removed. 203 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 3: So I think he's gonna be able to relate to 204 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: players and all of that. It's just the technical stuff. 205 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: It's the things about being a coach that you can 206 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: only be prepared for if you've done it before. Between 207 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: like the film cutups and the way that you structure 208 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: practices and the way you structure like your workouts and 209 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: all that other stuff. 210 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: Like all of that, there is. 211 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: A housekeeping aspect to being a head coach that only 212 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: the head coach can do, and if you haven't been 213 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: in that position before, it's hard. So I need to 214 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: see him surround himself with some guys that have been 215 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: there before, and that's going to be the telltale sign 216 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: for me once this does get announced, obviously publicly and 217 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: officially and all. 218 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 5: That other stuff. 219 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: It's just crazy because over the last twenty five years, 220 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: there have been nine coaches hired without head like previous 221 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: head coaching experience, and they've been successful, but most of 222 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: them not. 223 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 4: With the first team that they were with. 224 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: Besides point, Steve Kerr right, he is liked created a 225 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: dynasty for NBA titles, but like Jason Kidd moved on. 226 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: He's doing well in Dallas. They were just in the finals, 227 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: but that wasn't his first stop. Brooklyn was only lasted 228 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: a year there. Doc Rivers didn't have a strong start 229 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: with the Magic his first five years, but a second 230 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: stop in Boston he won a title there. So you 231 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: have you have examples of players moving into the head 232 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 2: coaching role without that former experience, and you know, Lakers 233 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: are just. 234 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 4: They're hope and he's a Steve Kerr. That's all you 235 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: can do. 236 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: Are you going to give like going back to your 237 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: earlier point, are you going to give him? Are you 238 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 3: going to give him the rope to like let him 239 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: have that experience, because then you run into something like 240 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: Steve Nash in Phoenix where it's like did they give 241 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: him enough time? 242 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: I don't know, Yeah, it was like, but. 243 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: You also have like a second coach in Lebron, Like, 244 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: you know, he's running. I was going to say, as 245 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: they say, like he is a coaching mindset one like 246 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: the one of the greatest players in the game, if 247 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: not the greatest whatever side your own. 248 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 5: Then what happens if they disagree? 249 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: Mm, that's going to be an interesting power dynamic. Also, 250 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: like can he win with this current team? 251 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 7: Right? 252 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: I think they need one more big shooter. Yes, Lebron 253 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: still great, but he's towards the end of his career. 254 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: He's going to turn forty in December and father time. 255 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: You guys, it's it takes you a step back. He's 256 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: still an insanely incredible top player, but not the Lebron 257 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: that he was ten years ago. 258 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: Then you have a d who when he's healthy and on. 259 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: Great play, and then your third player, Austin Reeves like, 260 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: when he's your third, you need a little more death. 261 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: And we saw Trey Young put out a cryptic tweet 262 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 2: after the JJ stuff was announced. It was a little 263 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: hourglass emoj posting the glass but like so dramatic it 264 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: could I mean, that would be amazing. I think that 265 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: would work incredible. But he's still under contract, so the 266 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: Lakers would have to trade for him. They don't have 267 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: much What are you gonna like get of the picks 268 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: that you have left? And maybe this is also why 269 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: Lebron hasn't officially signed back with the Lakers yet, because 270 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 2: he wants to wait and see what they're going to 271 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: do heading into the NBA Draft next week. 272 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 4: What moves are they going to make? 273 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 6: Ye? 274 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: Are they going to pick up Bronny? 275 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 5: They're working against. 276 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: Young too, is that he's due forty three million dollars. 277 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 3: So even if you were to trade for him and 278 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: give up assets to trade for him, you now then 279 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: have to. 280 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 5: Pay him a lot of money. 281 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean, I think there's a couple of 282 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: reasons why Lebron is expected to opt out of his deal. 283 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: He's expected to opt out but remain with the Lakers. 284 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: That comes from the LA Times or report from Dan Wokie, 285 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: but more so than he wants to make sure that 286 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: the Lakers are going to sign Bronnie or whatever they're Also, 287 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 3: he's now spent more than four years with the Lakers 288 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: and more than eight years in the NBA obviously, so 289 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 3: he's eligible for the no trade clause, which that's the 290 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 3: only it can't be added to existing contracts in extensions, 291 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: so if he wants one in LA. 292 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the only way to get it. Okay. 293 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 5: So there's a lot of reasons. 294 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: I mean, after they're they're bringing in JJ like that 295 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, he's going to stay. This is his guy, 296 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: and they're just waiting. Yeah you think so. But now 297 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: let's have a moment for the champs. Okay, Boston, hard 298 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: for me to say, but congrats on your eighteenth and 299 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: Briday title, passing the Lakers for most in NBA history. 300 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: They had their parade yesterday, and what a moment for 301 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: so many guys on this team, Like when it's a 302 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: team obviously rivalry. Growing up hardcore Lakers fan, you separate 303 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: yourself from the actual teams and you look at the players. 304 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: And Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown played one hundred and 305 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: seven playoff games together before winning this title, and that 306 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: was the most by any duo ever. 307 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 5: They were waiting. 308 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 4: For this moment for so long. 309 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 2: Even Al Horford finally got a ring after seventeen seasons 310 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: at thirty eight years old. I love him so much. 311 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: He wore shirt of Tom Brady hammered at his SuperH. 312 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 5: Together. 313 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, at his parade. That was amazing. I mean it 314 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: just Yeah. 315 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: Harford was drafted the year I graduated high school. That's 316 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 3: how long this man has waited. He's played in one 317 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty six playoff games. 318 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 5: That the hundred eighty six. It was the charm. Yeah, 319 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: first wasn't. The second was the third. It was one 320 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 5: hundred eighty six games. The charge. 321 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: I mean, but even hearing like Jaylen Brown, you know, 322 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: talking when he got the MVP, shared that he couldn't 323 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 2: do it without Jason Tatum and how people try to 324 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: pit them against each other and they just kind of 325 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: use that as added motivation to be like, Oh, they 326 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: don't think we can do it. They're trying to They're 327 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: literally trying to like get us to hate each other, 328 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: and that's only going to make us stronger. 329 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 3: And you can really the concept anyway, because if you 330 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: think of the teams that have gone on these runs 331 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: and these dynasties that have been created, how often has 332 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: it ever been one guy? No, it's always like you mean, 333 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: you're one and two. There's there's a lot of big 334 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: threes out there too. There are so that have won championship. 335 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: So it's just it's it's silly to try to create 336 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: division within Yeah, and. 337 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: It sounds like both of them, Yeah, they're going to 338 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: keep this dynamic, do it together.

Ticket prices you guys, for this matchup 377 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: are the most expensive for a WNBA game ever ever. 378 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: According to Tickpic, the average amount two hundred and fifty 379 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: three dollars one hundred and eighty seven percent higher than 380 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: the average guy's normal ticket purchase, which is crazy. Currently 381 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: cheapest ticket to fifty, most expensive nine thousand. This is 382 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: called growing the game. They are the story in the 383 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: WNBA right now. These two rookies are what everyone is 384 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: talking about, what they want to watch, and they're putting 385 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: on a show. Angel Reese is leaning into her villain role, 386 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: but like also putting up incredible numbers, playing good basketball 387 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: all the basketball court. Both of them are both Caitlin 388 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: Clark and Angel Reese are living up to all of 389 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: the hype right now in the WNBA. 390 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 3: It's it's it sucks kind of though, because they're not 391 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 3: on good teams, and that's what's kind of limiting. I 392 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 3: think a lot of this region exposer like I think 393 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: this The Fever and the Sky are fourth and fifth 394 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference out of six teams. They're eighth 395 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: and ninth in the league overall. So the fact that 396 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: you are though seeing these attendance numbers. Indiana has the 397 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: highest attendance right in the league this year, with an 398 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: average of sixteen thousand per game. Last year, the Las 399 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 3: Vegas Aces, who won the championship, their average attendance was 400 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 3: nine thousand, as the best team in the league. So 401 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 3: these attendance numbers are just breaking all types of records. Chicago, 402 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: this guy have only ever played like in their arena. 403 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: They only like this season, they only play in their 404 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 3: arena in win Trust, and so there's only a certain capacity. 405 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: I think the capacity of win Trust is somewhere between 406 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 3: nine and ten thousand, and they do and they like 407 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: they sell out these games. 408 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 5: They draw an average of about eighty. 409 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: Three hundred I believe is what I saw. But the 410 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: teams that have played in like bigger arenas, like we 411 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 3: saw the Sparks play in Crypto. 412 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 4: Oh when Caitlin was in town too though, right and. 413 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 3: Bringing Yes, when Kaitlyn comes to town, they these teams 414 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 3: will then move to these bigger arenas and then that 415 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 3: Sparks game has had nineteen thousand people. 416 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: Oh no, they packed it, yes, yeah, and like it's. 417 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 5: I don't I don't know that. 418 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess the Sky could have gone to 419 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 3: the United Center and they probably could have gotten like 420 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 3: their attendance numbers up even more. But the point I'm 421 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: making is these attendance records are insane considering these two teams, 422 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. 423 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: Are not good teams right now. Oh and they're still drawing. 424 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 5: But it's must so many people. 425 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: It's must watch TV, must watch if you can get 426 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: to a game. I mean, this is gonna be the 427 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: third time that Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese have faced 428 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: off against each other in the w Caitlyn has taken 429 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: the first two games in this rivalry. And if you 430 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: remember the last time, the face was that like flagrant 431 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 2: foul that was heard around the world, Angel Reese was 432 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: going for a ball and accidentally or purposefully whatever side drawn. 433 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 5: As a basketball player. 434 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Caitlyn in the head, like with the side 435 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: of her arm. So this is like all anybody is 436 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: going to be watching and wanting to see, Like there 437 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: drama and there's a storyline and it's just excitement. 438 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: Like I put it. 439 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 2: It's in my calendar, like wherever I'm at, Like, make 440 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: sure you're at a TV to watch watch this like 441 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: entire game. Also, WNBA All Star voting just started. First 442 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: returns of the fan voting were published. Clark second, Reese seventh, 443 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: both top ten in fan voting. Only two rookies. Yeah, 444 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: in the top ten, Like they are one of, if 445 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 2: not the most popular. 446 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, oddestly kind of it's funny that they're only second 447 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 3: and seventh, because so All Star fan voting is just 448 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: kind of a popularity contest when it comes with the 449 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 3: fan vote, right, regardless of what sport you're talking about. Yes, 450 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 3: the way it's broken down though, in the WNBA, fan 451 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: voting does count for fifty percent of the total score. 452 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: Twenty five percent then comes from the player vote, another 453 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: twenty five percent comes from. 454 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 5: The media vote. Okay, so it's not the end all. 455 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: The fan vote's not the end all be all, but 456 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: it does a factor the All Star selection more so 457 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 3: than other we've seen other leagues, like the NFL is 458 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 3: famously mysterious for how they're All Stars are actually the 459 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 3: Pro Bowlers are actually chosen. It's like how much is 460 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: the fan voting? Yeah, there's like a there's a third 461 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 3: of the vote. 462 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 5: That's just like. 463 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: A different than any other kind of All Star game 464 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: because it's like after the season. It's like fun games, 465 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: Like every other sport is kind of in the middle 466 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: of the season. It's a halfway point of the season 467 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: they're actually playing. But this is I mean, this is 468 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: going to be what July twentieth and Phoenix, just before 469 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: the Paris Olympics.

We are broadcasting live 555 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: from the Tarak dot Com studios in Los Angeles, and 556 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: it is time for our first guest. He is the 557 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: founder and CEO of The Sporting Tribune, host of The 558 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 2: Mightier Show, and has been covering the Lakers in the 559 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 2: league for twenty years and has always been a great 560 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: friend in this industry. Please welcome rash Marcazi. Hello, yet 561 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: has doing great a rash Lots of Laker news this week. 562 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: Lakers have reportedly hired JJ Reddick to be the next 563 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: head coach. What are your initial thoughts on this hire? 564 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 7: You know, it was kind of surprising at the beginning 565 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 7: when he was brought up, but I mean he was 566 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 7: really the name, like outside of those four days where 567 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 7: they went after Dan Hurley, I mean, it was really. 568 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 10: This was their guy, and I think. 569 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 7: The thought process throughout was like, let him finish his 570 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 7: broadcasting responsibilities, no rush here. So I think that's why 571 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 7: the Dan Hurley thing was so surprising. I don't know 572 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 7: to what details they'll, uh, you know, they'll they'll go 573 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 7: into that during the press conference, but I mean, I 574 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 7: mean it was really like that was their guy, and 575 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 7: again surprising from the beginning because he's never been a 576 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 7: coach before. Yeah, we've actually seen this in the league. 577 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 7: Sometimes it's worked, sometimes it happened, it hasn't, whether you're 578 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 7: talking about Steve Kerr, Steve Dash, Derek Fisher, I mean, 579 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 7: it's happened before. I think Steve her is probably the 580 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 7: best example of it work. No successful, Well, see exactly, Yeah, USh. 581 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: My biggest concern throughout this whole thing when JJ Reddick 582 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 3: emerged as the lakers apparent choice was all right, he's 583 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: never coached before. That's one thing, But then that means 584 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 3: that he doesn't have a built in rolodex of talent 585 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 3: coaching wise, staff wise that he can bring in with him. 586 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 5: So where is he going to get these guys? 587 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: How much emphasis do you think is going to be 588 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: placed on bringing in experience in at least the assistant 589 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 3: roles that way they can help him along with some 590 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 3: of the more I don't know, like housekeeping things about 591 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: being a head coach, like who was he bringing in 592 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 3: with him. 593 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 7: It's such a great point, and I do think at 594 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 7: least one, maybe two of his assistants will be former 595 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 7: head coaches. 596 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 10: Scott Brooks is the name that I've heard brought up. 597 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 7: But you may also see some you know, players that 598 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 7: have recently become coaches. Jared Dudley. Again he's a coach 599 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 7: with the Mavericks, but he was a teammate with JJ 600 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 7: Bujon Rondo. You know, not too long for his career. 601 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 7: He wants to coach. He may be a part of 602 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 7: this staff. This will be a younger staff, no doubt 603 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 7: about that. I definitely think that that's why it's important 604 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 7: to your point to have at least one, maybe two 605 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 7: former head coaches on the staff. But you know the 606 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 7: biggest thing is that that these coaches, especially JJ Watson, 607 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 7: with the with the respect of the team, and I 608 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 7: did think that's what he has. So you know, again 609 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 7: in this hirings, it doesn't get made without talking to 610 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 7: the players and regardless of what you've heard, like well, 611 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 7: he does a podcast with Lebron. So the fact that 612 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 7: there's being reported that like Lebron wasn't a part of 613 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 7: the process. 614 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 10: I'm not saying Lebron made the higher but. 615 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 7: There's no way that you don't talk to Lebron James 616 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 7: right exactly. 617 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: Now, Russis deals reportedly four years, but no coach since 618 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: Phil Jackson has lasted longer than three. So will the 619 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 2: Lakers be patient with Reddick to get things right? 620 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 10: I really hope so. 621 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 7: And it's really one of the red flags with this 622 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 7: job that no coaching Phil Jackson has lasted three years. 623 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 10: We've seen coaches last one, two and three years. 624 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 7: But also beyond that, I mean Frank Vocal came in 625 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 7: and did exactly what is with the job. Look at 626 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 7: the Lakers, you have to win less than two calendar. 627 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 10: Years following his championship. He got fired. 628 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 7: The Darvin Ham comes in, takes over a team that 629 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 7: didn't make it to the playoffs the year before, thirteen 630 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 7: seed at the trade deadline, coaches them to the Western 631 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 7: Conference Finals less than a calendar year following that, he's fired. 632 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 7: So I really hope that they're patient with JJ, patient 633 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 7: with this team. That's not the business we're in. It's 634 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 7: not the franchise if they run though, So I do 635 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 7: hope that that. 636 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 6: Is the case. 637 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: So what are realistic expectations for Reddick in the Lakers 638 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: next season, like what would be considered a successful season. 639 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 7: So it's a great question because realistic doesn't often go 640 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 7: in line with what Laker fans want of. 641 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, Laker fans fully expect to win a championship. 642 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 7: I think if this team, this team talent wise on paper, 643 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 7: should be a top four seed, should be contending for 644 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 7: the Western Conference finals. 645 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 10: Maybe be a championship. 646 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 7: But the fact of the matter is, and we both 647 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 7: know this, and we all know this, you know, having 648 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 7: lived in Los to live, if this team were to 649 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 7: have the season that the Dallas Mavericks did, that should 650 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 7: be a success when you look at the team that 651 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 7: they have. The fact of the matter is if the 652 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 7: Lakers went to the finals and lost to the Celtics, it. 653 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 10: Would be a disaster. 654 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 7: So yes, that is why this job is so tough 655 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 7: that he's not taking over a team that should be 656 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 7: a championship team. If he does the job that Jason 657 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 7: Kidd did this year with the Mavericks, that would be 658 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 7: a success and he should win Coach of the Year, 659 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 7: but that first team yeah, it was no, no, no, 660 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 7: But I'm just saying, like, like, what's the successful season, 661 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 7: Like I think if they're a top four seed, they 662 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 7: make it to the playoffs, they're not in the playing tournament. 663 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 10: Uh, they make it to the conference finals. 664 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 7: Like in my mind, realistically, that's the success. The problem 665 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 7: is darvinham got fired a year following that, so I 666 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 7: don't know what the team used as a success. 667 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 3: Well, and is that a success for Lebron? That's That's 668 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: the other like dynamic here is that Lebron's trying to 669 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 3: win now. He's not getting any younger. He's been pretty 670 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: open about the fact that he wants to get another 671 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 3: championship before he's done. So I mean it almost brings 672 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: the Lakers into being championship or bust if you have 673 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 3: Lebron leading this team. 674 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, and there's no doubt about that. I Mean, when 675 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 7: you go into a season with Lebron James, with the 676 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 7: Davis as long as he's healthy, if Fanthony Davis is healthy, 677 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 7: we've seen like he is still one of the top 678 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 7: ten players in the league. So if you have conceivably 679 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 7: you know, two of the top ten to fifteen players 680 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 7: in the league. I mean, you should be contending. It's 681 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 7: hard to win a title, of course, so but yeah, 682 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 7: there's no doubt about that league. Lebron's coming back for 683 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 7: your twenty one to win a championship. I just don't 684 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 7: know if the complimentary pieces around him are good enough. 685 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 10: To get that done. 686 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 6: Now. 687 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: Lebron's been very vocal about wanting to play with his son, 688 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: Bronnie James, and Bronnie has only worked out for a 689 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: couple of teams ahead of next week's draft, the Lakers 690 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 2: and the Suns. Would it be a shock if Bronni 691 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: doesn't end up in LA. Do you think he's gonna 692 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: end up in LA? 693 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 7: I think he will end up in Los Angeles, just 694 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 7: because they really kind of worked it out way where 695 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 7: he's only worked out for two teams, uh, these Suns 696 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 7: and the Lakers. I don't think the Lakers are going 697 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 7: to use the first round pick on him, Lebron at 698 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 7: least I know, right, but at least publicly publicly, Lebron 699 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 7: is backed off that like I need to be teammates 700 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 7: with my son, which means, like, listen, if he gets 701 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 7: drafted by the Suns and we go head to head 702 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 7: on like in a primetime game. 703 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 10: That would be great too. 704 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 7: So but I really do think that they're gonna draft 705 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 7: Lebron's son, Bronni James. I got to see him when 706 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 7: he was with USC. Listen, clearly shouldn't be in the 707 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 7: league right now, but I don't think he's bad. Like 708 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 7: I really feel bad for him that he's not been 709 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 7: able to kind of progress slowly, but again. 710 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 10: That's his you know, he put his name in the draft. 711 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 7: But at this point in time, with the way that 712 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 7: they've worked out the tryouts and they've turned down requests 713 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 7: from a variety of teams, I do think he is 714 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 7: with the Again. By the way, I think he'll be 715 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 7: here with the South Bay Lakers playing a night. 716 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 10: So yeah, we'll see about that. 717 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that would work. 718 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: Okay, before we let you go, Celtics won the record 719 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 2: eighteenth NBA title this week, passing the Lakers for all time. 720 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 2: Broken Heart, Do you see this team as a one 721 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: and done or can they repeat and build a dynasty? 722 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 7: No, Listen, this is a this is a team that's 723 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 7: gonna be good for a while. 724 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: And I hate I thought you're gonna goanger. 725 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 7: Listen, because I mean, they have that core group coming back, 726 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 7: and as long as you got that core group coming back, 727 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 7: they are going to contend.

I've gone to 789 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 3: online masterminds the last few years. The Aaron Donald led 790 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 3: a pass rush clinic or von Miller is Von Miller 791 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 3: and Aaron Donald would go. Von Miller leads a pass 792 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 3: rush clinic every year for like the defensive ends. It 793 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 3: is like the dema positions. 794 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 5: Though that have a really that haven't done it. They 795 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 5: haven't done it. 796 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 3: I don't know that it ever will happen because that's 797 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: a lot of ego to get in one room. Like 798 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 3: tight ends don't have that ego. 799 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 4: The mean, they better do a reality have cameras. Maybe 800 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 4: that's how you get it. 801 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 2: That's probably like have it be like a docu series 802 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: and like make a TV show out of it.

But it's 932 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 2: been an interesting off season in the NFL. We've had 933 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 2: contract drama but also seen guys get paid. Also, per 934 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 2: league sources, the players involved in the union matter know 935 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: that the push for the eighteen games is coming, but 936 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: like they just announced now, they're just trying to figure 937 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 2: out what they're going to ask for in return, which 938 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 2: it should one hundred be a second by, Like if 939 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 2: we're gonna ever like dive into. 940 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 5: That, I think that I don't know that like they 941 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 5: should even need to push for that. 942 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 3: There's no way that the NFL should allow you to 943 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 3: be a second bye if there's that, if they if 944 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 3: they season extends, that must one game makes a huge 945 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 3: I know people don't think one game makes a huge difference. 946 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 5: It makes a huge. 947 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 2: Difference early by an early one by, which we talked 948 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 2: about when the schedule release came out, and we even 949 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 2: heard Travis Kelsey say, like, you know, our buys a 950 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 2: little early. That's going to be tough towards the end 951 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: of the season when you're all beat up and you 952 00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 2: need an extra week up to just like recoup recover. 953 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 5: Also, I think it's gonna come. 954 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna end up asking for the restructure 955 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 3: of the off season program where they don't have this 956 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 3: random six week break, which actually really kind of sucks. 957 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 3: From recoverage standpoint, because then it means you don't have 958 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 3: a summer anymore. Yeah, but it does make a lot 959 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 3: more sense to ramp the guys up and then take 960 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 3: them straight into the season rather than have this six 961 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 3: week break where they can get cold and then have 962 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 3: to come back and reacclimate, or you're. 963 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 2: Just Aaron Rodgers and don't show up, because like where 964 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 2: is he? We still don't know. But let's dive into 965 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 2: what summer looks like for these NFL players, Because Carmen, 966 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 2: you just had a really fun assignment this week in Arizona. 967 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 5: Give us the DEAs. 968 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 4: Tell us about it. 969 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 3: So anybody that knows me, I always joked that I'm 970 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 3: an offensive lineman at heart. 971 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 5: Uh huh. 972 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 3: This week I got to pretend to actually be one, okay, 973 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 3: which was really fun. I went down to Arizona to 974 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: Phoenix to train with three different offensive linemen because a 975 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 3: good friend of mine, a Q Shipley, was in the 976 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 3: league for twelve years. Yeah, multiple different tea games, played 977 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 3: center the whole time. He was a coach for US 978 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 3: in Tampa when I was there, and I got to 979 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 3: know him really well. And by get to know him, 980 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 3: I mean I went into his office and bugged the 981 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 3: ever loving you know what out of him to tell 982 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 3: me everything about offensive line play. We sat there for hours, 983 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 3: like watching tape and him explaining technique to me and 984 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 3: all this other stuff. 985 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 5: So we've developed a really great friendship. 986 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 3: He has been training this offseason Tevin Jenkins of the 987 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears, And it's funny because Tevin's going to be 988 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 3: entering his fourth year in the league, but he is 989 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 3: very much a veteran on that line. He has been 990 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 3: with the Bears the longest of any of their starting linemen. 991 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 4: With the most important draft pick and rookie with the. 992 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 3: Most important investment Williams, the Bears entire organization has made 993 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 3: in a very long time behind him. 994 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 5: So I got to work out in the weight room 995 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 5: with them. 996 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 3: I got to be on the field as they were 997 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 3: going through drills in one hundred and ten degree heat, 998 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 3: and Alex, it's wild when you are up because these 999 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 3: guys are so big, right, like seven I think is 1000 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 3: like six six, three thirty, Like he's a massive dude. 1001 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 3: But the amount of athleticism that these guys literally have 1002 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 3: in their big toe, which is a thing because there 1003 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 3: was a whole circuits there was a whole circuit structured 1004 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 3: around their big toe during their recovery day. 1005 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 5: Kids, you not. Aq has a lineman's dream of a gym. 1006 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 3: In his poolhouse and that's where they train, and he 1007 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 3: has all these little contraptions that are so offensive lineman specific. Yeah, so, 1008 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 3: like there were multiple little machines that were meant just 1009 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 3: for big toe. There their big toe, to test the strength, 1010 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 3: to practice, the strength, to practice, the flexibility. 1011 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 4: Even to speak about that, but the way they're lined up, 1012 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 4: like you have. 1013 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 5: To be literally. 1014 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 3: Aq had a coach that told him that all power 1015 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 3: for a lignement goes through the big toe, And like 1016 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 3: it's all of these very intricate, very nuanced things that 1017 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 3: you don't consider when you're staring at this wall of 1018 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 3: five three hundred plus pound men in front of a quarterback. 1019 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 3: But there's so many of these little things that depend 1020 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 3: on the line itself. And I just I've made it 1021 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 3: my mission in my career to kind of shed more 1022 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 3: light on offensive linemen in general, because I don't think 1023 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 3: people really have a great understanding what they do. It's 1024 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 3: not just them bashing their heads against the defensive lineman 1025 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 3: every play. But Tevin Jenkins was I mean, he's massive, 1026 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 3: but he's doing things that. 1027 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 5: I can't do. 1028 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 3: And we're not a professional appa no, but like the 1029 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 3: way that he's moving his body and how fast he's moving, 1030 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 3: how athletic he is. I'm like, I have no hope 1031 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 3: of doing any of this and I am less than 1032 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 3: half of your weight, Like it's wild. 1033 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: So my question is, because we were kind of talking 1034 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 2: about this, if you don't know, Carmen and I carpool 1035 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,879 Speaker 2: to work, so we have like a pre show before 1036 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 2: the show, Sure do, and you were saying, you know, 1037 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 2: obviously he knows. I think you also mentioned he's kind 1038 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 2: of going to be the veteran right on this O 1039 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 2: line this year at what twenty five five years old, 1040 00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 2: Like still a young guy. What are they doing to 1041 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 2: try to support and we're going to get it behind 1042 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 2: the scenes. Look obviously during training camp since Hard Knocks 1043 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 2: is going to be with the Bears, but what is 1044 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 2: he doing to try to support and help Caleb Williams, 1045 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 2: who we've seen reports come out this week like he 1046 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 2: has kind of a late release. He's been struggling a 1047 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 2: little during these training camps. But again he is all 1048 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 2: eyes around him in a new system, new team, New City. 1049 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 2: It's going to take time. What is he doing to 1050 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 2: help or training right now to do to help to 1051 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 2: support Caleb Williams. 1052 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 3: So it's interesting because while the Bears now have a 1053 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 3: new offense, they have a new quarterback. Yeah, we talk 1054 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 3: about how much new there is on this team. Tevin 1055 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 3: was talking to me about how much continuity they have 1056 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 3: on the line itself. Okay, because even though he is 1057 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 3: the longest tenured Bear on the offensive line, they had 1058 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 3: they retained Chris Morgan, their offensive line coach, and he 1059 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 3: now is used to playing next to Braxon Jones, their 1060 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 3: left tackle. The center is either going to be there's 1061 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 3: a true competition there. It's Coleman, Shelton, Ryan Bay. It's 1062 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,240 Speaker 3: both very veteran players just haven't been with the Bears. 1063 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 3: And then on the other side there's there's Nate Davis 1064 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 3: and then you have Darnell Wright, their first round pick 1065 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 3: last year. So there's some continuity there and they're really 1066 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 3: taking that sentiment and making sure that they can kind 1067 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 3: of anchor. I mean, the offensive line is the anchor 1068 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 3: of the offense regardless, but they want to make sure 1069 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,399 Speaker 3: that they are anchoring that offense and capitalizing on their 1070 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:28,280 Speaker 3: continuity by making certain checks, making certain identifications for kyleb 1071 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 3: behind him. Okay, so the center specifically center and quarterback 1072 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 3: relationship is very intricated. 1073 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 5: It's very thorough. There's a lot of components to it. 1074 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 5: Some quarterbacks prefer. 1075 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 3: To make checks and IDs between Like, you know, just 1076 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 3: talking about how many downlinemen you see, so you say 1077 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 3: four down, I mean it's four down linemen. That that 1078 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 3: sets your protection off of. Yeah, you'll talk about you 1079 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 3: know where the mic point is, which is the mic linebacker? 1080 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,879 Speaker 3: You identify that, and that's again a way to set 1081 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,240 Speaker 3: your protection or what you're setting your protection to. Kevin 1082 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 3: was telling me that the lo I now feels personally 1083 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: responsible for making those checks and IDs. Because Caleb is new, 1084 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 3: he is young. You want to be able to take 1085 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 3: as much off of his plate so that he can 1086 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 3: worry about the scheme, he can worry about the routes, 1087 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 3: he can worry about really diagnosing what he's seeing. 1088 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 5: By having these guys in front of him telling him that. 1089 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 5: Now it's still going to be up to Caleb Williams 1090 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 5: to know what that all. 1091 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 3: Means, but he now has five guys, not just the center, 1092 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 3: five guys telling him all right, this is what I'm seeing. 1093 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 5: This is what I'm seeing, this is what I'm saying. 1094 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 3: They all have their own assignments now, and I thought 1095 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 3: that that was an incredible gesture of teamwork. Tevin told 1096 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 3: me that, you know, Caleb and has been inviting all 1097 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 3: of the offensive line out to certain things. Tevin hasn't 1098 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 3: been able to go to a lot of these things. 1099 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,320 Speaker 3: He just had a baby, his wife just did, but 1100 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 3: he hasn't been able to really take advantage of it. 1101 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,440 Speaker 5: But Caleb is meshing. 1102 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 3: Really really well with his line and understands the importance 1103 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 3: of the guys that are in front of him. 1104 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 5: It was such a wonderful experience. 1105 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 3: It really I love doing these kind of things because 1106 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 3: it just you just really get an appreciation for all 1107 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 3: the things, even outside of the field, that these guys 1108 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 3: are doing. I mean, Kevin works with a mental health coach, uh, 1109 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 3: really honing his leadership skills, making sure he knows how 1110 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 3: to communicate. 1111 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 5: He does pilates at six six three. 1112 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 6: Got it. 1113 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 2: You got to get that flexibility, build it up the 1114 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 2: little muscles, and there's gonna be You're gonna be writing 1115 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 2: a couple of stories on this too. 1116 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 3: A couple of features dropping on Fox sports dot Com 1117 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 3: detailing all of this, and if you're if you're a 1118 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 3: little bit more interested in what summer looks like, especially 1119 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 3: for mine men, and how how intricate their training really gets, 1120 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 3: I'm really I'm really excited about this piece. 1121 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, so stay tuned for that. 1122 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 2: But speaking of the off season, off season workouts OTAs 1123 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,879 Speaker 2: mini camps, apparently the Jets are just willing to roll 1124 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers and the drama. He obviously does what 1125 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 2: he wants during the summer. Also crazy that we still 1126 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 2: don't know. 1127 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 5: Where he is, if he's even still there, if. 1128 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 4: He's even still there back now here, who knows. 1129 00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 2: But like we know that some players and Robert Sala 1130 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: said they didn't think it was a huge deal that 1131 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 2: he missed mandatory mini camp, But you have to imagine 1132 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 2: there are a handful of guys in that. 1133 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 4: Locker room that probably care that the leader of your 1134 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 4: team was not there. 1135 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 2: He was not leading by example, and you guys, this 1136 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 2: is a big deal, especially in New York. And Julian 1137 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 2: Edelman was on The Herd yesterday. He had a really 1138 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 2: interesting take about this. 1139 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 11: Take a listen, you can't win games in the offseason, 1140 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 11: but you can lose them if they go one in three. 1141 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 11: This is going to be such a big distraction for 1142 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 11: that locker room if they start four, No, no one's 1143 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 11: going to. 1144 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 2: Care, that's right, Yeah, yeah, And New York media will 1145 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,240 Speaker 2: be hounding Jet schedule. I mean remember, they are favored 1146 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 2: in fourteen of their seventeen games, six primetime games. Aaron 1147 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: Rodgers has only played four snaps yes with this team 1148 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 2: before snapping his achilles last season, and they start this 1149 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 2: season at forty nine ers that's Monday Night Football Week one. 1150 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 2: I think the forty nine ers are going to take 1151 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 2: that one because they are favored in every single one 1152 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:06,320 Speaker 2: of their games at Titans versus Patriots, that's a Thursday 1153 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 2: Night Football Week. 1154 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 4: Three, and then verse Broncos. 1155 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 2: If he loses to the Titans or the Patriots or 1156 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 2: any Broncos or the Broncos, New York media, well one 1157 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 2: PC use this situation against him, and she was head off. 1158 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 3: It's so it's interesting because and I'm not you know this, 1159 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 3: I'm not in a business at defending Aaron Rodgers. He 1160 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 3: was at OTA's all all like off season, all spring, 1161 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 3: he was at every OTA, which is not typical for 1162 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, especially his last few years with the Packers. 1163 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:34,919 Speaker 4: This is a new team. 1164 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 3: So he was there last year, he wasn't there, but like, 1165 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 3: it just it seemed so like, what was two more days, dude? 1166 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 3: What was two more days to just stay and maybe 1167 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 3: camp to avoid all of this. And what really got 1168 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,480 Speaker 3: to me though, is now you're putting your coach in 1169 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 3: a position to have to defend you and undermining your coach. Yeah, 1170 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 3: because you didn't communicate that what you were like, what 1171 00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 3: you were doing when you were doing. 1172 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 5: It, all this other stuff. 1173 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 3: So now Robert Sala has to get up there and 1174 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 3: face the New York media and say, yeah, he's not here, Yeah, 1175 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 3: and then say it's not a big deal. It's not 1176 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 3: a big deal from a football standpoint, it's not Aaron 1177 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 3: Rodgers played a lot of football. 1178 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, he knows a new team. Again, you played four 1179 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 4: snaps with this team last year. 1180 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean there is absolutely something to be 1181 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,319 Speaker 3: said about getting that chemistry down or whatever. 1182 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 5: But they were able to do that in OTA's which 1183 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 5: he was there for, which again is more than that. 1184 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 3: But what is insane to me is that, Listen, you 1185 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 3: can't if you're the Jets, you have to go along 1186 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:29,799 Speaker 3: with this. 1187 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 4: Like you were betting that your franchise on Aaron Rodgers. 1188 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,320 Speaker 3: You were betting that the distractions and all of the 1189 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 3: things that Aaron Rodgers is off the field were going 1190 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 3: to be worth what he was going to give you 1191 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 3: on the field. But that hasn't happened yet. As you mentioned, 1192 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 3: he's only played four snaps for you. Meanwhile, you are 1193 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 3: paying You've already guaranteed him seventy five million dollars, by 1194 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,359 Speaker 3: the way, because that was guaranteed at signing when Aaron 1195 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 3: Rodgers signed that contract. Yeah, not to mention, you gave 1196 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,400 Speaker 3: up a slew of picks that the Packers have now 1197 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,399 Speaker 3: turned into Lucas van Ness one of their stars defense 1198 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 3: event or like a rotating defensive end Luke Musgrave who 1199 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 3: had that wonderful touchdown catch against the Cowboys. I believe 1200 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,960 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, your kicker Andres Carlson, and then even 1201 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 3: this year, your second round pick Eddrian Cooper who's expected 1202 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 3: to be a great addition to that, Preston Smith, Rashaan Gary, 1203 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 3: lucasfan Nest rotation, offensive lineman, Jacob Mounk, safety's Evan Williams. 1204 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 3: These are all the things that the Packers have now 1205 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 3: gotten onto a stable yet young team, and Rogers is 1206 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 3: sitting here where the expectations in New York for what 1207 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 3: you gave up and for what you're paying him now 1208 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,359 Speaker 3: come down to literally this year. That's why I keep 1209 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 3: saying it is super Bowl because what you gave up 1210 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 3: for Rogers, all of the stuff you have to put 1211 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 3: up with with Rogers, it is the expectation is now 1212 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 3: super Bowl for. 1213 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 5: The New York Jets. 1214 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 3: You lost the buffer year, which was last year of 1215 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,919 Speaker 3: him getting acclimated to this offense, which he's known forever, 1216 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 3: by the way, because it's his dude, Nathan no Hackett 1217 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 3: at offensive coordinator. You have to now go and at 1218 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 3: least get to the super Bowl to make this worth it. 1219 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see that happening. But you know who 1220 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 2: else kind of has that super Bowl or bus mentality 1221 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 2: this year? The forty nine Ers. They had a super 1222 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 2: team last year and then lost to Mahome, solidifying the 1223 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs dynasty in the Super Bowl, and now they are favored. 1224 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers, You guys, are favored in every 1225 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 2: game this season, so they're gonna have a chip on 1226 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 2: their shoulder. But apparently so does one of their offensive weapons, 1227 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,760 Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk, who was their leading. 1228 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 4: Receiver last season. 1229 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, but I don't. Did you see his TikTok 1230 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 2: drama that he did this week? He recorded had someone 1231 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:45,359 Speaker 2: record him facetiming Jaden Daniels saying, they said they don't 1232 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 2: want me back. 1233 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 4: I swear so many questions about this TikTok. 1234 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 2: Obviously everyone's assuming it's the forty nine ers, But then 1235 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have come back and just say 1236 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 2: we do want them, but they're just not. 1237 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 4: They don't want to say they don't want him at 1238 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 4: a Y page for the numbers. 1239 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't want to. 1240 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 3: They they don't want them at a right now Ike's price. 1241 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,720 Speaker 3: And listen, I mean I see it from both sides, 1242 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,359 Speaker 3: because I just witnessed Justin Jefferson become the highest paid 1243 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 3: non quarterback in the league. He keeps seeing receiver after 1244 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 3: receiver get that three in front of their number. 1245 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 5: But here's the thing. 1246 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 3: The forty nine ers don't have the flexibility, the cap 1247 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,440 Speaker 3: flexibility to make a deal like that happen. 1248 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 5: And they can also hang on to Brandon. 1249 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,439 Speaker 3: Nayuk next year by tagging him in twenty twenty five 1250 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 3: so like there isn't necessarily a an urgency. 1251 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 5: To get a deal done right away. 1252 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 3: But I will say there's a major copiat to them 1253 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 3: tagging him in twenty twenty five, because when you tag 1254 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 3: a player, their entire salary because it's a one year deal, 1255 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,439 Speaker 3: will hit the cap, and the tag for a wide 1256 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 3: receiver by next year, by twenty twenty five, will be 1257 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 3: about twenty five million, or is thought to be about 1258 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 3: twenty five million. 1259 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 5: They only have. 1260 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 3: They are already projected to be twenty six million over 1261 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 3: the cap in twenty twenty five. So now you don't 1262 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,600 Speaker 3: really have any sort of flexibility with him, and you you're, you're, 1263 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 3: you should be incentivized to get a long term Ye'll 1264 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 3: done with Brandon ay Yuke, I think, But brand and 1265 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 3: Ayuk is sitting here like, well, Justin Jefferson got paid 1266 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars, I want thirty five million dollars. Yeah, 1267 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 3: I'm a number one wide receiver and I would agree 1268 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 3: with him too. I don't think that offense works as 1269 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 3: well without Brandon and Ayk. 1270 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 4: I think they have so many offensive weapons, but he 1271 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:26,439 Speaker 4: is a major. 1272 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 3: He provides the aspect to their offense that stretches the field. Yeah, 1273 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 3: Deebo does a lot of underneath stuff. Christian McCaffrey does 1274 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 3: a lot of the underneath stuff. You need a threat 1275 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 3: down the field to open all of that stuff up underneath. 1276 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk is the one that does that. He absolutely 1277 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 3: is crucial to what Kyle Sanahan does on offense, and 1278 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,919 Speaker 3: he wants to be paid like it. At the same time, 1279 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, is he really up there with STEVIEE. 1280 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 3: Lamb and Justin Jefferson and I mean AJ Brown. 1281 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,560 Speaker 5: Is Trevor Lawrence up there like? Well, that's conversation is 1282 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 5: apples and orange. 1283 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,880 Speaker 4: It's all where you land and what the market is 1284 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 4: once your contract comes. 1285 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 5: Up with a lot of things, guys. That's the thing is. 1286 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 3: I do think there's a bubble coming for the wide 1287 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 3: receiver market. I don't think that very many guys are. 1288 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 3: I think Jamar Chase is probably the next and only 1289 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 3: one that's going to top that topple that like thirty 1290 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 3: four to thirty five million dollar price tag. I don't 1291 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 3: see like there there are too many receivers in the 1292 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 3: draft and you can get them too much later, like 1293 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 3: you know, in multiple rounds. Yeah, for teams to be 1294 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 3: spending thirty thirty five million on a receiver for the 1295 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,439 Speaker 3: foreseeable future. I think that there's a bubble coming. And yeah, 1296 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 3: I don't see anybody topping justin Jefferson's deeal. 1297 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 5: I'm excited. 1298 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 2: We got Tracy Sandler, forty Niners beat reporter, joining us 1299 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 2: in about ten minutes to kind of get the inside 1300 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 2: scoop there. 1301 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 4: But we're going to take a quick break here. 1302 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 5: When we come back, the. 1303 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,560 Speaker 2: Goat is finally sharing his secrets.

I can't do those 1327 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 4: like two things at once. 1328 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 5: About sick place up here, sick place. 1329 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 2: You know who else has a crazy mind? The goat, 1330 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 2: you're a worker. Tom Brady was on the Herd this week, 1331 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 2: you guys, and he really gave us an inside look 1332 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,720 Speaker 2: not only to how his like brain works, but the 1333 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 2: Patriots dynasty, why they were so good, how they prepared. 1334 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 2: There were so many like gold little sound bites in 1335 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 2: case you missed it, but there was one that really 1336 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 2: stood out that he mentioned in Saturday Night. 1337 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 5: We were so prepared and so focused. We were the 1338 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 5: opposite of tight. 1339 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 12: Really, we were always relaxed because we had the answers 1340 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 12: to the test. I knew that I went through the 1341 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 12: call sheet, And let's say we had one hundred and 1342 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 12: fifty calls on the call sheet. There was a meeting 1343 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 12: at a squad meeting eight o'clock. I would meet with 1344 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 12: the quarterbacks starting at six thirty in the offense corner. 1345 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 12: We'd go through every single play on the call sheet, 1346 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 12: and we'd do exactly what we did. Okay, this is 1347 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,640 Speaker 12: a play, this is the run. What's the one thing 1348 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 12: that could mess this run up? 1349 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 13: Oh? 1350 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 12: A safety blitz off the right side. Okay, great, what 1351 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 12: do you want to do if that happens? So I'd 1352 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 12: walk to the line of scrimmage that call was, that 1353 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,960 Speaker 12: call was made, I'd break the hood. I'd look at 1354 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 12: the line scrimmage. I'd say, okay, the only problem I 1355 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,920 Speaker 12: have on this play is if the safety is blitzing 1356 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 12: off the right side, and then I would just look 1357 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 12: for it. Oh, and he only did it, let's say 1358 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 12: five percent of the time. So most coaches would just say, 1359 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 12: I just run the play whatever if they get lucky 1360 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 12: and call at the same time one for them. And 1361 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 12: that's not how I played, because that one play could 1362 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 12: mean everything, right, So I would say no, no, no, no. 1363 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 12: If it's a five percent chance it could happen. 1364 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:15,440 Speaker 2: He was so prepared for every possible scenario. He was 1365 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 2: a chess master at his position. That's why he is 1366 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 2: the goat seven rings more than any single franchise. He 1367 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 2: is the best to ever do that. And now we're 1368 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 2: going to get to watch him and learn from him 1369 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 2: when he's in the booth calling these games. 1370 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 5: But it's just. 1371 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 2: He even said it in his in his speech when 1372 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 2: they were retiring as jersey for the Patriots last week 1373 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 2: or a couple of weeks ago, where he was like, 1374 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 2: you don't have to be the best at something. You 1375 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 2: just have to do what everyone else is not doing 1376 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 2: and put in the time and prepare and care and 1377 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,840 Speaker 2: you just as we saw, he's not the most He 1378 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 2: wasn't the most athletic quarterback on the field, the strongest, Yeah, 1379 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 2: didn't have the strongest arm, But he is the greatest 1380 01:02:58,680 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 2: of all time. 1381 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 3: I So it's interesting because the part about like him 1382 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 3: adjusting to certain things and preparing this way isn't really 1383 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,439 Speaker 3: particularly revelatory. Like everybody will tell you that the NFL 1384 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 3: is a chess match. Yes, it is absolutely like reading 1385 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 3: and reacting and trying to be as proactive as possible, 1386 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 3: saying three steps ahead of your opponent. But what this 1387 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 3: is what people mean when they say that this is 1388 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 3: the NFL is all mental. Obviously it's not actually mental. 1389 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 3: There's a huge physical component to the NFL. But this 1390 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 3: is what separates the good from the greats is the 1391 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 3: way that you can process things, the way that you 1392 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 3: can id things, the way that you prepare. When I 1393 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 3: was in Tampa, I remember hearing stories just from our 1394 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator and our head coach BA Bruce arians at 1395 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 3: the time Byron left, which the way that Tom right 1396 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 3: up until the game, and he talked about it just there. 1397 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 3: Ye would be going over different plays, changing different plays, saying, ah, 1398 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 3: you know what, after thinking about this a little bit, 1399 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,080 Speaker 3: I think I want to change this to this or this. 1400 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 5: I want to make sure that this audible is in there. 1401 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,480 Speaker 5: I want to make sure that this that and the other. 1402 01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 3: And then once he's on the field, he will end 1403 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 3: up checking into different things and kind of like calling 1404 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 3: his own stuff. But what really struck me from that 1405 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 3: conversation that he had with Colin Cowherd was the time 1406 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 3: it takes to have the trust to be able to 1407 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 3: do that kind of stuff. Not every quarterback is free 1408 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 3: to make those decisions at the line. Yeah, because they 1409 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,240 Speaker 3: don't have the trust of their team yet. Because that 1410 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 3: takes a long time, that takes a track record. The 1411 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 3: only reason that Brady was able to come in and 1412 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 3: do that instantaneously in Tampa is because he had nearly 1413 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 3: twenty years of experience up until that point that told 1414 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 3: you he knows what he's doing. So the trust was 1415 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 3: there immediately. That's not reality for most players, for most quarterbacks. 1416 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 3: And this is why expecting players to come in, especially quarterbacks, 1417 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 3: to come in and it instantly light the league on fire, yeah, 1418 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 3: is so it's far fetched, is what it is. And 1419 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 3: you need to be able to build that trust and 1420 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,479 Speaker 3: that just takes time. And I think unless you're Tom Brady, 1421 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,880 Speaker 3: unless you're Tom Brady who already had but like. 1422 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 4: He had it, he had a track record for it. 1423 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,240 Speaker 3: I was gonna say six strings beginning in New England. 1424 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 3: He did, and he was a six round pick. He 1425 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 3: was the backup to Drew Bledsoe. He didn't have that trust. 1426 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 3: It took years for that, Yeah, because those don't forget 1427 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 3: those first championships were that Patriots defense. And Tom will 1428 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 3: be the one to tell you that too. He was 1429 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 3: not the Tom Brady that he became those last three 1430 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 3: championships in New England. So that was what I took 1431 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 3: away from it. Again, this is something that you want 1432 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 3: your quarterback to be able to do, but you need 1433 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 3: to allow them time and you need to prepare them 1434 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 3: and give them the tools to be able to do this. 1435 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 3: And there's just not that many teams that really are 1436 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 3: in that situation. 1437 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 2: No, but I'm excited to listen and watch Brady now 1438 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 2: call these games and kind of give his perspective of 1439 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 2: what he would be thinking in that situation. 1440 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 4: It's gonna be so cool. Okay, Now let's check out 1441 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:42,720 Speaker 4: with Brian fan Lancy. What's trending. 1442 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 9: Yes, Alex and Carmen, we were talking about American football 1443 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 9: a goat.

They are in 1472 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 9: a share for the advantage or the lead. That excused 1473 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 9: me and one shot behind. You've got Young, you got 1474 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,360 Speaker 9: Xander Schoffle, Colin Morikawa, Scottie Scheffer, you've heard of those 1475 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 9: names before. And then in live you've got the event 1476 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 9: going on in Nashville. And Terrel Hatton through what is 1477 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 9: sixteen holes now he has a two shot lead. He 1478 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 9: is at eleven under, five under today, Carlos Ortiz is 1479 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 9: part of a two way tie four second, two shots 1480 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 9: off the pace, but Terrell Hatton is at eleven under. 1481 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 9: With that, let's get it back over to Alex Curry 1482 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 9: in Karma Vitally. 1483 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday. I'm 1484 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,919 Speaker 2: Alex Curry here with Carmen Vitally. We are broadcasting live 1485 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 2: from the Tyro dot Com Studios in Los Angeles, and 1486 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 2: it is time for our next guest. She is the 1487 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,479 Speaker 2: founder and CEO of Fangirl Sports Network. She's a forty 1488 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 2: nine ers beat writer and I was just on her 1489 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 2: show this week talking all Things Dodgers. Please welcome Tracy Sandler. 1490 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:17,960 Speaker 6: Hello, Hi, so are you. 1491 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 5: We're doing great grace. 1492 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,719 Speaker 2: Let's start with some forty nine Ers drama, please, because 1493 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk posted a video on TikTok this week facetiming 1494 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels saying that they don't want me back, hinting 1495 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,680 Speaker 2: that the forty nine Ers won't be giving him an extension. 1496 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,480 Speaker 2: What are you hearing about Ayuk's future in San Francisco? 1497 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 6: Well, I really don't believe that it is that they 1498 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,160 Speaker 6: don't want him back. I think the issue is the 1499 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,600 Speaker 6: number at which he wants to come back and the 1500 01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 6: number at which they want to bring him back, because 1501 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,720 Speaker 6: there's really no scenario where they don't want him back. 1502 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,560 Speaker 6: He's brought Pretty's favorite target. They see him as a 1503 01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 6: true wide receiver one he's done tremendousness offense. But they're 1504 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,280 Speaker 6: having an issue at the number. And that's really where 1505 01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 6: we're at right now. And the big question, of course remains, 1506 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,560 Speaker 6: will they get this done as we've seen them do 1507 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,040 Speaker 6: with Deebo Samuel, with Nick Botha, with other players in 1508 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 6: the past. Or is Brendan and I you going to 1509 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 6: be playing on the fifth year option and becoming a 1510 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 6: free agent next season. We'll have to see. But you know, 1511 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:22,800 Speaker 6: a couple of months ago, a few months ago, I 1512 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,760 Speaker 6: think when I was always you Carmon, I was so 1513 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 6: confident they would. 1514 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:26,360 Speaker 7: Get this done. 1515 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 6: I now I'm not as definitive as I once was. 1516 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 6: And you know, I guess we'll see what happened. It's 1517 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,240 Speaker 6: just that they're that far apart. And if he's on 1518 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 6: TikTok saying to Jane Daniels, they don't want me back, 1519 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 6: that's I have no doubt that's what Brandon heard, like 1520 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 6: that's how he interpreted it. I just don't believe that 1521 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 6: they don't want him back. The issue is what number? 1522 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 6: Is there a number that they can agree on to 1523 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 6: get him back? Right? 1524 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 5: And I mean the forty nine ers. 1525 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,680 Speaker 3: I was looking at their their available capspay is going 1526 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 3: into twenty twenty five, and they're already projected to be 1527 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 3: twenty six million under the cap or over the cap. 1528 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 3: I should say, excuse me up until then, so there's 1529 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 3: not a whole lot of flexibility that they have. Now 1530 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 3: you can play with the numbers and do a little 1531 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,840 Speaker 3: bit of creative accounting. As our friend Cynthia Freeland likes 1532 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 3: to say when you do get an extension done, but 1533 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of issues with guarantees. Also, 1534 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 3: Brandan and I you is seeing that you know these 1535 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 3: other guys. Justin Jefferson is becoming the highest paid non 1536 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 3: quarterback in the league with thirty five million dollars, and 1537 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,080 Speaker 3: he knows that if he is a if he hits 1538 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,840 Speaker 3: the market, if he hits free agency after his fifth year, 1539 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 3: then well he might be able to go get that 1540 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 3: money and that number somewhere else. 1541 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,679 Speaker 6: Do we think, I mean he might, but it will 1542 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 6: depend on how this year goes. So this is the 1543 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 6: part that I think gets difficult for the player and 1544 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 6: for the team. And I will say I never say 1545 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 6: a player shouldn't do everything he can to get everything 1546 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 6: he can. 1547 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 10: It's a business. 1548 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 6: The team will always take care of itself and he 1549 01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,599 Speaker 6: should take care of himself. But it is a gamble 1550 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 6: because he goes into this season with George Kittle and 1551 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,920 Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel and Juan Jennings just sign extension. 1552 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 6: Ricky Pearsall, he goes in the season and doesn't have 1553 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,600 Speaker 6: the kind of season he had last year, then what 1554 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 6: is his market value. It's tough, it's a tough gamble, 1555 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 6: and yes, next year they're going to have to make 1556 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 6: some really tough decisions. This is probably the last year 1557 01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:24,200 Speaker 6: where they basically have the band all together. But you know, 1558 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 6: I've seen a lot on Twitter the joke that if 1559 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 6: they don't sign into with extension, it's like the Hunger 1560 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,720 Speaker 6: Games between him and Deebo Sdanuel for who is going 1561 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 6: to stay long term. And I think this actually is 1562 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 6: kind of true. So, you know, and the one thing 1563 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 6: I'll point to, and I don't know that this is 1564 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,799 Speaker 6: going to make have any effect in what Brandon decides 1565 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,600 Speaker 6: to do, but both Tibo Samuel and Nick Botha have 1566 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 6: said that holding out affected their season, and I think 1567 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:50,479 Speaker 6: Auk is going to hold out at least for a 1568 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 6: little while. I do not envision him being at there 1569 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 6: at the first day of training camp, but you know, 1570 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,600 Speaker 6: you want to put yourself in the best position, and 1571 01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,639 Speaker 6: if he wants to put himself in the best position, 1572 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 6: and he's not going to accept their number, and he's 1573 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 6: going to play it out and see what happens. He 1574 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 6: needs to he needs to be there, and he needs 1575 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,719 Speaker 6: to be in training camp, and he it's a tough decision. 1576 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 6: I you know, I'm glad to write about it, and 1577 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 6: I myself will not be on the field. I will 1578 01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,720 Speaker 6: not be signing an extension note of the thing. 1579 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,799 Speaker 5: But yeah, i'd sign that extension for a few mill. 1580 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 6: Offer it to me, I will be happy to take it. 1581 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,600 Speaker 6: But I don't know that my play has really that 1582 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 6: they want to get. There were the contract that they 1583 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 6: want to give me. But it's going to be kind 1584 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 6: of interesting to see how this plays out. But I 1585 01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,720 Speaker 6: really I understand that that's separate and I you took 1586 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 6: it and that's what he heard, But I don't think 1587 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 6: that's the issue. It's just it's a numbers game at 1588 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 6: this point, and will they be able to figure it out. 1589 01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,679 Speaker 2: So another player that's really proven himself is Brock Perdy, 1590 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 2: bringing the forty nine ers to NCY championship in Super 1591 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 2: Bowl in his first two seasons. Do you see him 1592 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,440 Speaker 2: as the future in San Francisco? 1593 01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 6: Absolutely? 1594 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:00,400 Speaker 10: Wow? 1595 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:00,800 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1596 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:01,720 Speaker 13: No. 1597 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 6: So I've been covering the team. This will be my 1598 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,360 Speaker 6: ninth season, and in the in the Lynz Shanahan era, 1599 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 6: we've had Brian Hoyer, We've had CJ. Bethard, We've had 1600 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 6: Nick Mullins, We've had Jimmy Garoppolo and we've had Rock Purty, 1601 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 6: and of all those people, Rock pretty aside from the 1602 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,640 Speaker 6: fact that he's proven himself, Cyle Shanahan trust him in 1603 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,919 Speaker 6: a way that I never saw him trust an other quarterback. 1604 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,799 Speaker 6: And it's changed the offense. It's opened up the offense. 1605 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 6: And that's part of these contract talks too, because now 1606 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 6: what do they need? Who do they need Because it's 1607 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 6: Rock Purty, they can run a different kind of offense 1608 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,320 Speaker 6: and they were running with Jimmy Garoppolo. But yes, absolutely 1609 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 6: he is you know, barring an injury, God forbid, he 1610 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,920 Speaker 6: is the future in San Francisco. He's their franchise quarterback. 1611 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 3: It's going to be so interesting then because then what 1612 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,560 Speaker 3: tier contract wise does that hurt Rock Party in? 1613 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 5: Is he commanding? 1614 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,160 Speaker 3: Is going to be like past that fifty million dollar Like, 1615 01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 3: if you're telling me he's the future in San Francisco, 1616 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 3: the going rate for franchise quarterbacks these days is over 1617 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars at this point, is Rock Party going 1618 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,760 Speaker 3: to get that? Do you signed into more of a 1619 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,679 Speaker 3: mid tier deal because of the weapons he has around 1620 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 3: him and you don't necessarily need crazy quarterback play, but 1621 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 3: like that's also not brock Party's fault. 1622 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 5: I don't know. I go back and forth on this 1623 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 5: all the time. 1624 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 6: Tracy, Well, we talked to Jed York at the owner's 1625 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,719 Speaker 6: meetings and he said he will command with the market bears. 1626 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,919 Speaker 5: Oh that tells me, tells me fifty million dollars. 1627 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,800 Speaker 6: That he really does and that he is your franchise guy. Yeah. 1628 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,360 Speaker 6: I think he is a guy, and they think he's 1629 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 6: a guy. I don't think. You know, a lot of 1630 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 6: quarterbacks have good weapons around them. Certainly you have like 1631 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 6: Tom Brady who was able to do a lot with 1632 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 6: maybe not the weapons that brock Party has. But at 1633 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes who was able to win a Super Bowl 1634 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 6: without the weapons that brock Purty has. But if he's 1635 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,200 Speaker 6: your future and he hasn't even played two full seasons, 1636 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,560 Speaker 6: he's really only played it like a season and a 1637 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,760 Speaker 6: quarter so he's only going to get better and better. 1638 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 6: And this offseason he gets to concentrate just on and 1639 01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,519 Speaker 6: not on rehab. So he's gonna get better and better 1640 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,280 Speaker 6: and he's going to have another season. Yeah, another season 1641 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 6: like that. That's what he's going to command, and that 1642 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 6: is what he should command. He's proven that he's there. 1643 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:15,160 Speaker 5: Guys, all right, man, million dollars there we go send it.

But Thursday night, 1660 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,719 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball and Fox created a really incredible event 1661 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 2: at rick Woodfield. Now, this is the oldest ballpark in America, 1662 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 2: and this was the first Major League baseball game played 1663 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 2: at Rickwood. 1664 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 13: Now. 1665 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 2: Rickwood was a staple in the Negro leagues, and this 1666 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 2: game was a tribute to all those players and teams 1667 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 2: in the Negro League. But it was also so important 1668 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 2: to hear from legends like Reggie Jackson who lived this 1669 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 2: history and gave America a really raw and honest history. 1670 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 2: Lesson Thursday night, when a Rod asked him how emotional 1671 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 2: it was for Reggie Jackson to be back at Rickwood. 1672 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 5: Coming back here is not easy. 1673 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 13: The racism that I've played here when I played here, 1674 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:49,000 Speaker 13: the difficulty of going through different places where we traveled. 1675 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,479 Speaker 13: Fortunately I had a manager and I had players on 1676 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 13: the team that helped me get through it. 1677 01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:56,959 Speaker 5: But I wouldn't wish it on anybody. 1678 01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 13: People said to me today I spoke and they said, 1679 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 13: you think if you're a better person, you think you 1680 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 13: won when you played here and conquered. I said, you know, 1681 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 13: I would never wanted to do it. You want to 1682 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,920 Speaker 13: do it again. I walked into restaurants and they would 1683 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,639 Speaker 13: coin at me and said, can't eat here. I would 1684 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,160 Speaker 13: go to a hotel and I said, can't stay here. 1685 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it is crazy to see him how emotional 1686 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 2: he got sharing these stories. It put into perspective the 1687 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 2: horrific racism that these players went through, and also to 1688 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 2: put into perspective that wasn't that long ago. Reggie Jackson 1689 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 2: said to me eight years old, years old even watching 1690 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:41,519 Speaker 2: Big Poppy shared the impact just hearing Reggie's story that 1691 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 2: it had on him, knowing that if it wasn't for 1692 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,559 Speaker 2: players like Reggie and going through that and breaking down 1693 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 2: those barriers and paving the way, he might not have 1694 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:50,640 Speaker 2: had the opportunity to be playing and. 1695 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 5: Doing what he's doing. 1696 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 3: He wouldn't have And that's that's such an important It 1697 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 3: was such an important moment for everybody, even if you're 1698 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,280 Speaker 3: not even a sports fan, because it just reminds us 1699 01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 3: that this is not too far in our past. This 1700 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,360 Speaker 3: is not too far in our history. There are people 1701 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 3: that are still very I mean clearly, Reggie Jackson is 1702 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,599 Speaker 3: very with it. He's very articulate. He's on camera talking 1703 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,800 Speaker 3: about this, Yeah, because he's only seventy eight, like we 1704 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,960 Speaker 3: just said, yeah, and this is something that he can 1705 01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 3: very clearly recount. So this is something that I think 1706 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,839 Speaker 3: everybody should just take a second to digest and realize 1707 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 3: that we also need to recognize it so that it 1708 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,200 Speaker 3: doesn't happen again. 1709 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,240 Speaker 5: I mean, there are trickle down effects from all of this. 1710 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I love how much major League 1711 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 2: Baseball is, how much they're doing to finally recognize the 1712 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 2: Negro League. Between the Rickwood game and then this year, 1713 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 2: the Negro League stats have officially made it into Major 1714 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 2: League Baseball all time spats. But there were also so 1715 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,440 Speaker 2: many There were so many beautiful moments in this broadcast, 1716 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 2: like the tribute to Willie Mays, having Barry Bonds talk 1717 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 2: about the relationship he had because Willie Mays was his godfather, 1718 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 2: and he shared this story of when he was breaking 1719 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 2: his all time home run record and what it meant 1720 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 2: to him and for the game, he said he was 1721 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,840 Speaker 2: one home run away from tying Willie Mays, and he 1722 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:11,920 Speaker 2: wasn't sure if it was kind of a mental block 1723 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 2: because it was his godfather and someone he looked up to, 1724 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 2: or if he was just in a slump that's why 1725 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,960 Speaker 2: he wasn't getting that next home run. But he said 1726 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,840 Speaker 2: Willy finally came up to him before a game and 1727 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,000 Speaker 2: was like, dude, you better, you better tie me soon 1728 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 2: because I'm flying all over to watch every single game. 1729 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,560 Speaker 2: And then that game, yeah, and then that game is 1730 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,640 Speaker 2: when he hit the tying home run that night, and 1731 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 2: Willy told him, you keep going and you break that 1732 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 2: all time record and you can just see just the 1733 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 2: stories and the emotion for all of these players and 1734 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 2: what Willy meant to all of them. 1735 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 5: But I mean, Barry Bonds did. 1736 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 2: He's the all time home run leader, was seven hundred 1737 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,440 Speaker 2: and sixty two home runs, and it's still crazy. 1738 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:51,559 Speaker 5: To me that he's not in the Hall of Fame. 1739 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 4: I come at me, bro, like whatever it is. 1740 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,720 Speaker 2: I commented on the Barry Bonds video and IMLB on 1741 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:58,760 Speaker 2: Fox saying put him in the hall. 1742 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 5: Boy, did I start a debate?
