Now. You know, the Yankees 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: are playing well, the Dodgers seem like they're gaining on 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: the Giants. But you know what I can't get over 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: is this story the last couple of days that Tops 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: is gonna stop making baseball cards.

But but it's just 35 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: because they're not gonna it's just that other people have 36 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: jumped up in and a willing right to strike.

It. 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: It's kind of like a junior stock market type situation 53 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: where oh, no, this is the one card and some 54 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: cards come out like boy, this could be a great card, 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, it was worth ten dollars and 56 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: now it's worth ten dollars. And some cards are ten 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: dollars worth and now they're they're one hundred and fifty 58 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: dollars just a couple of months later. It's it's crazy. 59 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: It definitely definitely is it is. That's the end of 60 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: an era. Really top seventy year relationship with Major League 61 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: Baseball and the baseball trading cards have always been the king. 62 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why NBA cards and football NFL cards 63 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: never had the same traction, but not that they're on 64 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: a couple of those cards, you know what I mean, 65 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: for a couple of players who are really stand out, 66 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: But baseball cards have been the king. And didn't you 67 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: cover the very first year of Tops. I'm a great beer, Jason, 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: But I'm not that old. I mean, that's not that old. 69 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: Who's this new company? Tops are gonna work. You gotta 70 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: get the Honus Wagner card. That's the one, all right. 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: So this morning you got a big column up on 72 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: deadbin dot com. And look, this is a story that 73 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: maybe some people saw earlier in the week that Tom 74 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: Brady's kid is a ball boy for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Now Brady has talked about it's been kind of a 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: bunch of laughs around around the NFL circles. But you 77 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: have a column on here that's saying that this is 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: not a great story. Explain that a little bit here 79 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: for a second. And I want to say this. I 80 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: hope people will go to deadspin for real and read 81 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: my column, okay, because I think it's too quick to 82 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: just dismiss Jason. You know, right away to be like, oh, 83 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: now he's ripping on Brady's kid or whatever. That's not 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: what the column is about. Okay, So it's not seven 85 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: hundred words ripping on Brady's a thirteen year old son 86 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: about him being a ball boy. There's a bigger problem here. 87 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: And you thought whokamania was running wild back in the 88 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: eighties or whatever. It's nepotism in the NFL. Jason, this 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: is what I'm writing about. It's nepotism, and it's the 90 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: main reason that so many black people can't get jobs 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: when they're playing careers are over in the league, and 92 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people will discount it, but too often 93 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: white owners, coaches, front office people hire and promote family members. 94 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Despite the league being almost seventy five percent black, they 95 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: can't sneak in through the back door, you know, for 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: coaching situations the way white counterparts can. And that's the 97 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: proble problem. There have been a ton of father son relationships, 98 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and we can go on and on and on, but 99 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: probably here's the best one. Can you imagine a black 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: player who didn't even play football in college, but say 101 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: golf of all sports, right, getting an NFL head coaching job. 102 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: That sounds ludicrous, right, ridiculous, Jason, doesn't it? Go ahead? 103 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: Todd Harley, that's his reality. That's what he did. Why 104 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: his dad was the director of player personnel for the 105 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jets. He hired Todd. He Todd 106 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: was a ball boy when he was a kid, just 107 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: like Brady's son. He went to the training camps. All 108 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: that his dad was able to get get him in 109 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the door with the Jets. He got his coaching career started, 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: and he wound up being in two thousand and nine 111 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: to chief the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. 112 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: We can go on and on and on. During the 113 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, I remember Kyle Shanahan making a big 114 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: stink remember this quote. How the heck are there are 115 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: only four black coaches out of thirty two head coaches? 116 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: How are there only two black two gms? I mean, 117 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: we're in a predominantly black league. The majority of our 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: players are black. So the fact that there's that few, 119 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: that's not debatable. Well, Kyle, the problem is nepotism. It's 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: rampant in the NFL. Mike Shanahan, Yes, your dad hired you. 121 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: You were the offensive coordinator do you know what the 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Washington's offensive ranks were his first three years as offensive coordinator, 123 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: twenty fifth in the league, twenty six, twenty third. You 124 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: didn't get fired, You were able to keep your job. 125 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: The NFL had to put in the Rooney Rule to 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: force owners to interview black people. Rod Marinelli, remember when 127 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: he was hired as Lions coach in two thousand and six. 128 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: Let me see who he hired, defensive coordinator Joe Barry, 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: his son in law. He also hired Joe Barry's father, Mike, 130 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: who was his assistant offensive line coach. You want more, 131 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: there's more Bill Belichick's son on the payroll, right, so 132 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Andy Reid's sons. I mean, we could go on and 133 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: on and on. There's about ten father and son teams 134 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: that have been coaches and none of them are black. None. 135 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: So everybody can look at this as just a lighthearted story. 136 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: That's great Brady's kids out there, but it brings light 137 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: to a bigger problem. And that's why I wrote about it. 138 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: Nepotism in the NFL is alive and well, and that 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: is a deterrent to black people. Here's the other thing, Jason. 140 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Most companies won't allow it because when you do that, 141 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: you do restrict other people from gaining access to a 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: company and too opportunities. So it sounds like a fun 143 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: summer story. Oh, this is great. Brady's sons out theories 144 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: a ball boy. I'm sure there was some black or 145 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: brown kid in Tampa who would love an opportunity like that, 146 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: who will never get one because they don't have an 147 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: ind they don't have a relative who works for the team. 148 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: And that's the separation. And when black people do get 149 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: a head coaching job or situation, Jason, they can't hire 150 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: their family. They can't do it. It would be frowned 151 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: upon if they hired their cousin and their brother and 152 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: people like that. But in the NFL, when you're a 153 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: white head coach, you can do whatever you want. All right, now, 154 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: let me let me just chant a little bit of 155 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: Chris Brussard here, your partner on the Odd Couple. When 156 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: I tell you this about this part about Tom Brady's kid, Rob, 157 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: stop it. Look, I get your point, right, I understan 158 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: Dan your point about nepotism in the NFL. Would you 159 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: admit it's a big problem. It is, Yes, I admit 160 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: it's that you're talking about not having enough black head coaches. 161 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: And I completely get that, and look you're spot on 162 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: with that, but dude, come on, man, this is Brady's 163 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: kid being a ball boy at practice. This is this 164 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: is not Hey, somebody's son got a job as an 165 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, all right, this is you know, you don't 166 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: think Patrick Mahomes or Cam Newton or any Gore, Russell Wilson, 167 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: any of their kids when they haven't looking Brady. Brady's 168 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: one of the few who's old enough to have a 169 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: kid who's fourteen years old that can go play because 170 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: he's forty four years old. You don't think any of 171 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: these guys, as they get they'd be able to have 172 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: their kid going and be a ball boy. You don't 173 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: think of Russell Wilson had a fourteen year old, fifteen 174 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: year old kid, Hey, I want my son to be 175 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: a ball boy. The Seahawks wouldn't say, oh, yeah, go ahead, Russell. 176 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: Of course you would. Look, Brady just happens to be 177 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: forty four, so he's got a kid that's young enough 178 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: and they let him be the ball boy. I don't 179 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't see that being a problem as far as 180 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I just got a different Todd Haley becoming by That's 181 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: how Todd Haley got started. That's how Todd Haley became 182 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: an NFL head coach without even playing football. Pass the 183 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: youth level, come on, because he got he know, he 184 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: had an end. That's what I'm talking about, having an end. 185 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: So you don't think of it as innocent as a 186 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: ball boy, and you don't think anything of it. I'm 187 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: sure when Todd Haley was at Steelers and Jets camp 188 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: as a as a ball boy, nobody thought anything of it. 189 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: They thought it was cute. Oh, that's cool. Haley's got 190 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: his kid out here as a ball boy. He wound 191 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: up being an NFL head coach. That's what I'm talking about, 192 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: his inn But just tell him Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, 193 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, any of the star black quarterbacks in the game, 194 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, any of those, if they had a kid 195 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: who wanted to be a ball boy. The team tells 196 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: them no. John Harbor tells Lamar Jackson, No, you kid can't. 197 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: Your kid can't be a ball boy. Can't do it, 198 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: can't do it. No. I mean, I think I'm gonna 199 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: saying that there's a ways you can I think there's 200 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: other ways you can explain that and say, look, here's 201 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: the problem with nepotism, and here's why why black people 202 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: can't get their foot in the door. I get that, 203 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: but we're talking about a ball boy where if any 204 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: of these guys were old enough and had those kids, yeah, 205 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: of course they're getting a gig. You tell me any 206 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: other star black player in the NFL couldn't do it. 207 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: If DeAndre Hopkins had a kid who was fourteen, hey 208 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: can my son be a ball boy? That everybody's kid 209 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: can't be a ball boy, Jason, So that's a myth. 210 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: I mean sure, I know everybody wants it. Everybody. Most 211 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: players probably have kids. They would love for their kids 212 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: to come to work with them and be a ball 213 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: boy and be a part of the team. You can't 214 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: do that for everybody. It's a special thing that only 215 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: a handful of people get to do, and you know it, 216 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: everybody can't do it. And my point is that we've 217 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: seen the nepotism in this league. It is a disease. 218 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: There's no way Rod Marinelli should have been able to 219 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: hire his family members. He had never even been a 220 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: head coach at any level high school or college, but 221 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: he's hiring his family. I'm just I don't know. Can 222 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: you tell no, I get that, but that's not but 223 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: that's not being a boy. His kid could go be 224 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: a ball boy for a for a couple of days 225 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: and then leave and go do something else. I mean, 226 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: it's like, it's like what I hire as an intern. 227 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: If someone, if someone I knew, came to me and said, hey, 228 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: could could you hire my kid as an intern at 229 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio? Yeah, okay, I know you. I could 230 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: have that happen and you can come be an intern 231 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: and work on the show. You could have that happen too, 232 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: if someone said, hey, Rob, would you kid? Can my 233 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: kid come in and be an intern for it? Yeah? 234 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: I can make a phone call for you. You're talking 235 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: about being a ball for a kid having fun doing something, 236 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: And it's not like every kid that starts as a 237 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: ball boy goes on to be this this big deal 238 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: in the National Football League something. He was Todd Haley. 239 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: But I'm giving you, uh uh Andy Reed's kids all 240 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: kinds of issues, drug rest, all kinds of stuff. Those 241 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: guys are coaches in the NFL. Can you can you 242 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,479 Speaker 1: give me that Yes has two sons on his coaches. 243 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you, but you're you're named the coach and 244 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: two of his sons named the name the black coach 245 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: that had two sons on the payroll. I don't know 246 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: if any because I don't think they're able to do that. 247 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: And all I'm saying is this is a big problem 248 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL and people need to address it. I'm 249 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: not attacking Brady's kid. I'm just telling you of how 250 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: things work. This is exhibit A. It just it just 251 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: hit hammers home the difference between black and white in 252 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. Who gets special treatment, who gets uh special favors, 253 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: who don't? The people who don't get those. That's all 254 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: this column is about. That's all. If there if there 255 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: was a forty four year old superstar black quarterback in 256 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: the NFL that had an age appropriate kid, of course, 257 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: he's kid's gonna be a it's gonna be a ball boy. 258 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: I think you could you could have made a different 259 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: analogy to Hey, this is something that is part of 260 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the systemic problem in the National Football League, that being 261 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: a ballboy. Okay, it's a ball boy. It's like yeah, 262 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: like I said, it's like being an intern. Yeah, Hey, 263 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: it's great. My kid gets to be a ball boy 264 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: here for a little bit. He gets to run around 265 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: the field at practice and have some fun. He's around 266 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: the guys in training camp. That's okay, that's a that's 267 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: a big leap to go from Hey, Brady's kid being 268 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: a ball boy too. Hey, how are all these guys 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: hiring their their their kids to go be something huge. 270 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: It's not like they said, Hey, guess why, Brady, your 271 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: kid's coming in and he's gonna break down film and 272 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a big, big assistant. I mean, that's not this. 273 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: It's it's being a ball boy. Yeah, I think it's 274 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: I think we can look at that because he's only thirteen, 275 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: and you think it's not a big deal, it's just 276 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: a fun summer story or whatever. But when you look 277 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: at the Patriots and Bill Belichick's son Steve and Brian 278 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: who are on his staff, and Andy Reid's kids who 279 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: are on his staff, it's just stuff like that that 280 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: you take you can look at and they're only there 281 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: for one reason, and one reason only because they have 282 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: powerful dads who are in those positions. That's why they've 283 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: gotten those opportunities. And it's a damn shame when you 284 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: have all these black players who have played football who 285 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: want opportunities after they're done playing, and they're not there. 286 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm talking about. And most people don't 287 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: won't read the column, don't want to open up their minds. 288 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you this is a huge problem in 289 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: the NFL, nepotism and it needs to stop in order 290 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: to give all people access and all people a chance 291 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: to work in that league. And that's not where we are. 292 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: You can read the column up on dead Spin right 293 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: now with Rob Parker.

And how upset 328 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: is Lebron who got zero votes from a canvassing of 329 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: scouts and executives around the National Basketball Association for being 330 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA. He puts out on 331 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: social media, he's using it as fire for the season 332 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: and fuel. And I feel like every five seconds Lebron 333 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: is putting something out there is fire and fuel. Rick 334 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: joins us now on the hotline, Rick, were you one 335 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: of the people canvas and use No, Lebron's not one 336 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: of the best players in the game anymore. Were you 337 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: on that list? Uh? No, I've never masqueraded as a 338 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: executive or a scout. I occasionally play one on TV, 339 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: but I was not. I was not taking this one 340 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: in this h in this particular poll. It would be 341 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: interesting to know to have some sense of when we 342 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: say executive or what are we talking about, Like, um, 343 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: are we talking about an assistant GM? We're talking about GM. 344 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about where where where are they on the 345 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: on the chain? But you guys have probably talked about 346 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: it that. I mean, you know what that's like Jason 347 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: imitating a a sports talk show host in a movie. 348 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Good morning morning, Yes, starting 349 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: the day that way, Rob Parker, goodness great. Two and 350 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: a half hours into this, Ricketts is what the morning 351 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: has been for me. It's a rough ride. It's a 352 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: rough ride. It's all yeah, God, God bless you get 353 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: some icy hot afterwards, and you're obviously going to be tattooed. Yeah. No, 354 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why people equate this with 355 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: an MVP vote, Like you have five names on the 356 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: ballot and Lebron wasn't mentioned, or even Lebron taking it 357 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: that way, Ye, ten separate people that are naming somebody, 358 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: and there's no metric, there's no statistic, there's no achievement. 359 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: There is not a single thing that would lead you 360 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: to say that Lebron James was the best player in 361 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: the league last year. Not one. So you're if you 362 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: did pick Lebron over Yannis or Kad, you would be 363 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: basing it on what he's done previously or what you 364 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: think he can get back to, but not what he's 365 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: demonstrated that he is as of right today. Definitely. And 366 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: we got to always understand this and all of Lebron's minions, 367 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: it's not a lifetime achievement award, you know, you know 368 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: what I mean, like like that's what they think it is. 369 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: Like if you say anything about Lebron, what are you 370 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: talking about? Want the greatest player of all time? And 371 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: he's done this, he's done that, he's been all these 372 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: fun No, we're talking about right now, right right. And 373 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: if you take if you take ten ten people and 374 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: you ask them, give me one name, it's not shocked. 375 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: It would it would have been shocking if someone hit 376 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: said Lebron to be honest, over those two guys because 377 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: of what we just saw them demonstrate and so and 378 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: I understand both of them. And by the way, if 379 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: we are talking about right now, then how come the 380 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: Steph Curry minions aren't speaking up? Or yep, the Nicolay minions. 381 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know if he has minions, but if 382 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: a couple, right, why are they not speaking up? Because 383 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: both of those guys have a better case that they're 384 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: the best player in the league right now then Lebron 385 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: James does. At least Steph Curry was the leading scorer 386 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: in the league last season. Nicolaokich is the reigning MVP. 387 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: But you don't hear them or their minions complaining that 388 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: they didn't get any votes among these ten people, or 389 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: that they're now motivated because if the washed splash wash 390 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: King how many? How many times is Lebron gonna go 391 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: to this? Well? Don't you remember after he didn't he 392 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: didn't win the MVP. Uh, you know, in twenty twenty 393 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: he kind of vowed that he was Oh yeah, you 394 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: guys you watched How could you guys disrespect me and 395 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: all this? I'm like, what are you talking about? Like Joannis, 396 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Not only did Janis have a great season and the 397 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Bucks had the best record they had a Janis had 398 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: better numbers than the year before when he won the MVP, 399 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: and Lebron somehow thought he was going to be the MVP. Rick, 400 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, well, I mean I I 401 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: thought that Lebron deserve the MVP that year. I think 402 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: you really overall, yes, I did. Anthony Davis had better 403 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: numbers than him all across except for assists. Yeah, But 404 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: I to me, it's not It's not just numbers, And 405 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: that's why I would never make a case that Steph 406 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Curry is the best player in in in the league. 407 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: And it's why Nikola Yokis didn't get my MVP vote 408 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: this year. Jannis for the first time, got my MVP 409 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: vote this season. Because it's not for me just the 410 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: numbers that you get, but it's how you get those numbers. 411 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: And I dare say that when I look at Anthony 412 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: Davis's numbers in that season, they were they were a 413 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: product of playing with Lebron James. That it wasn't as 414 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: if Anthony Davis was the driving force of the team. 415 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: He was the beneficiary of the things that Lebron James 416 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: was doing the way he was organizing that team. The 417 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: reason that I gave Jannie or put Jannis at the 418 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: top of my MVP ballot this year is because for 419 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: the first time I saw him taking a leadership role. 420 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: I saw him playing below the free throw line and 421 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: making plays and they don't necessarily end up with a 422 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: number as a result of that play, but it ends 423 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: up with an open shot or an easy play, and 424 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: those were things that I did not see Yannis doing 425 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: in previous years. So MVP for me goes a little 426 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: bit deeper than the numbers across the board. It to 427 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: me is always there's there's the element of how you 428 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: get those numbers, how do you lead your team, and 429 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: just the intangibles. You know, the Milwaukee buff started slow 430 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 1: and Jannie was there saying, hey, we're doing some things different, 431 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: changing things up. We just need to stay the course. 432 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: That was an emotional leadership that he provided for them 433 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: that they needed and that was important to come from 434 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: their best player. And so I I those are intangibles 435 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: and people can say that's part, that's narrative, it's not 436 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: hard data. But to me, those are elements that make 437 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: for an MVP and Lebron James teaching a d how 438 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: to win to me and how to how to put 439 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: together winning numbers was an important part of that season. 440 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, Rick, you told me you voted 441 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: for Julius Randall for MVP. Now you tell me your 442 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: honest I just well, see, Jason, I play a different 443 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: character when I'm on with you in the Eve's right, Oh, 444 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: I play I played for my crowd, and Rob Parker 445 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: made me right. If you were buying that, then we 446 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: have we have exactly. And you know, Rick, it's easier 447 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: to say those things. You know, you know, nobody's listening 448 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: to that show with Jason. Oh my good. I'm just 449 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: I never Hey, I never missed the Jason Smith Show. 450 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: I never listened to him, so I never missed it. 451 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: Wow Jason, Wow, Wow. And here this is what here. 452 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: Jason told me that he decided to do you a 453 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: solid and bring you onto the show. This right, I know, Wow, Rick, 454 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: next time I fill in, you're you're my guy.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry was that. I'm 464 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: sorry about that? So listen, we're still talking about the 465 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: fall out of the Draymond Green Kevin Durant situation, the 466 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: show they did in which they both said, Hey, it's 467 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Bob Myers and Steve Kerr's fault. Why the dynasty broke 468 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: up because of the way they handled our disagreement that 469 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 1: we had in twenty eighteen. As time has gone on, 470 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: like you see this, look, Draymond Green is a smart guy. 471 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: He knows the impact of his words. Is this Draymond 472 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: pulling a James Harden going, you know what, whatever conversations 473 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: we've had at the at the Olympics when everybody's hanging 474 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: out and hey, I want out of Golden State now 475 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: because I want to get someplace else because you're blowtorching 476 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: your GM and your coach. There's something that was three 477 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, I have not heard definitively that that 478 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: was the purpose behind what he said, and there then 479 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: it remains of possibility that it was simply I want 480 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: to clear mind name and I want to do something 481 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: that's explosive on my first podcast as I prepare myself 482 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: for my post set, my post playing career, I do, 483 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: I will tell you that it did not sit well 484 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: at all with the Warriors, and that yeah, from either 485 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: one of them, and it does undermine their authority and 486 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: moving forward trying to trying to put this team together 487 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: and as uh, you know, as I said, before, like 488 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: the players this is not this is It would be 489 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: one thing if this was just the championship team and 490 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: these were all guys that have this This team was 491 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: composed of guys that had won a championship with Draymond, 492 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: and they could all look at it and go, Okay, 493 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: Draymond's just being Draymond. But they have a bunch of 494 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: guys who have never had that success, who have never 495 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: been in the foxhole with Steve Kerr, have not seen 496 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: the moves that Bob Meyers made in order to fill 497 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: out a championship roster. So you got guys like Jordan 498 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: Pool and James Wiseman and Juantas Kano I understand, who 499 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: now look at Steve Kerr and Bob Meyers in a 500 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: different light in terms of what Draymond said. Now they're like, really, 501 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: that's that's how we handled like how they handled that situation. 502 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: And Draymond is saying like, they don't know how to 503 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: do this. So when some the next incident that bubbles up, 504 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: like our guys going to just step in line or 505 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: take the counsel that they get from the Warriors, I 506 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: would think that they're gonna look at it, maybe in 507 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: a different way and say, well, how do you how 508 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: do you know what you're doing? Like you messed up 509 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: KD being here and and the worst part of it 510 00:28:53,560 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: is Kade was leaving anyway, that argument and that situation everybody, 511 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: it's become such a big deal. How dare Draymond do it? 512 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean that if there was an overreaction on that too, 513 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: beefs like that happened. And the fact that if you 514 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: watch and I've gone back and watch that play more 515 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: times than I've maybe watched any other play KDS at 516 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: least in part to blame because of how he played 517 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: that particular play. There was five and a half seconds 518 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: left on the clock when Draymond got the rebound. Clay 519 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: runs the floor and runs past Draymond getting to a 520 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: spot because it's tied one of six. You don't need 521 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: a three. KD trails and is clapping his hands like 522 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: give me the ball, give me the ball, give me 523 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: the ball. Draymond Greene was the leading playmaker on that team, 524 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: the leading assist man the previous three years and again 525 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: that season, so it would not be extraordinary for Draymond 526 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: green to lead the break. Was he looking to take 527 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: the shot? No, we know what Draymond. We know Draymond's 528 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: going to get the ball to a guy who can shoot. 529 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to take that shot. He was just 530 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: trying to create the best shot possible and fell down. 531 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: And Katie's the one who, like, you screwed that up. 532 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: You didn't give me the ball, and that led to 533 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: everything else. So I mean, if I want to look 534 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: at it, I can, Rather than immediately blaming Draymond, I'd 535 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: look at it and say, a Katie, you needed to 536 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: show a little more respect to Draymond in that situation. 537 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: And by any means, you're in the middle of the 538 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: game and ain't time to start getting on a guy 539 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: because he turned the ball over. If you're doing that, 540 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: you're there's no team that can survive that, and you 541 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: don't see that happen, especially with good teams, especially with 542 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: championship caliber teams. So I just feel like this who 543 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: that that whole situation has been twisted into something that 544 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: it was not. And this is the last twist is 545 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: now we're going to twist it into it's Steve Kerr 546 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: and Bob and Bob Meyers fault. I mean, it's just 547 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: it's become something completely else. From what it started to be. Hey, Rick, 548 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask you quickly, did we know that 549 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: end was coming for Patrick Beverlely? Uh? You know, Tylu 550 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: benched him, you know, during the playoffs and now I 551 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: think he's been traded to eight different teams since he's 552 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: left the Clippers, something like that. But but did Tylu 553 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of signaled that this was going to happen? Did 554 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: didn't he? Yeah? Well, look, I mean, obviously they made 555 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: some decisions, particularly in the playoffs, when he was being 556 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: yo yoed in and out of the starting lineup, in 557 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: and out of the rotation, and he's making fourteen mill 558 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: and he's a big personality and the game his game 559 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: can no longer match the presence that he has on 560 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: a team, and that or the money that he's making. Now, 561 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: they just from a logistical standpoint, they had to make 562 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: a move because they had too many guaranteed contracts and 563 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: they were going to keep Nick Batoum and they also 564 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: played playff Yes, and and and Pat Bev I've never 565 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: been more impressed than how he played in the playoffs, 566 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: in spite of his role being yo yoed all over 567 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: the place. But the question you had to ask is 568 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: one how you know we can get thirty million dollars 569 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: off of our cap. I mean the luxury tax that 570 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: they're paying is still nine to pay, and a ninety 571 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: million dollar luxury tax as is, it was going to 572 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: be some one hundred and twenty five million they had 573 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: to get. They had to open up a roster spot 574 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: and move multiple guys, and you had to ask the question, 575 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: if we use Pat Bev the same way where he 576 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: may not play multiple games in a row, he may 577 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: only play five minutes one particular night. Is Pat Bev 578 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: gonna be okay with that an entire season or is 579 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: that going to be a problem in our locker room? 580 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: And it was one thing for it to be for 581 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: him to swallow it during the playoffs, it would be 582 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: another for him to do it an entire year. And 583 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: I think they looked at it and said, we just look, 584 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson played well, Terence Mann played well, We have 585 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: other Paul George as our playmaker. Anyway we can, we 586 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: can survive without Pat Bev, and we need to make 587 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: a move. So I think all of those factors contributed 588 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: to why he's been moved along. And you know, we'll 589 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: see whether I mean, I could I could see where 590 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: he could have a role with the Minnesota Timberls. I 591 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: think that's where we last saw him or where he 592 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: was last dealt. And but then again, you look at 593 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: those young guys and they didn't take well to Jimmy 594 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: Butler's approach, and I would imagine Pat Bev isn't that different. 595 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: So we shall see. But I think there were a 596 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: number of factors, but one of them, as you mentioned, Rob, 597 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: is the fact that that Pat Bev isn't quite what 598 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: Pat Bev used to be, no doubt, no doubt. He's 599 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick Buker 600 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: Fox Sports one analysts.

Still, like he's the only one. 621 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: There's no it's Rick said, there's nobody that you would say, hey, 622 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: is Lebron the best player and go, yes, he's the 623 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: best player in the League's like he's the only one 624 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: that doesn't think so No, I don't. I don't even 625 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: get it. I just Lebron just surprises me. He's so 626 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: sensitive and weeds everything and thinks everybody has to be 627 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,919 Speaker 1: on board.

U does not get the restraining 728 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: order that she wanted against him, the judge saying that 729 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: what he did with her sexually wasn't anything that she said, Hey, 730 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: you passed the boundary for it. So here's a win, 731 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, for Trevor Bauer as he tries to make 732 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: his way back. Now, clearly there's still stuff with a 733 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: passing the police and Major League Baseball investigation. But you 734 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: know what, Rob, no matter what, even though yesterday turned 735 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: out to be a good day for Trevor Bauers talking 736 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: about you know, good days and bad days and lawcases, 737 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: there's no way I can see him coming back to 738 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball this year. No way he ever comes 739 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: back to the Dodgers and baseball. It's gonna be tough, 740 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: and it's going to be a thing about trying to 741 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: figure out how much money he is still owed because 742 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: knowing that he can do this to somebody, you know, 743 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, when the line of consent is still a 744 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: thing we're figuring out, knowing how can you have this 745 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 1: guy around? I mean, that's that's a really difficult thing, man, right. 746 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think once you know how 747 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: somebody gets down behind closed doors and it's public, and 748 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: we've talked about it earlier, Jason, those pictures are out there. 749 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: There's no way. Once you see those, it's hard to 750 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: pull those back. Imagine taking your family Jason the Dodger 751 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: Stadium and they're booing the heck out of him if 752 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 1: he was back on the mound and your daughter asking 753 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: you why Dad, he hasn't pitched yet. Dad, what's going on? Why? 754 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: Why are they buoying him like that? What do you know? 755 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: What I mean? Like, how do you explain that to 756 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: your children? It's hard. It's hard, man. And look and 757 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: even when you're getting from there, think about locker rooms 758 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: now where that that that type of behavior isn't gonna fly. 759 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: That's not gonna fly with with with where we are now.

Oh man, I don't know 764 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: about that. I really I think it's gonna wind up 765 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: being an ugly thing. About how much money he's in 766 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: his contract with the Dodgers. Yeah, it's a lot of money. 767 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: It's it's not good.
