However, 51 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: the video for it, oh my goodness, I mean we 52 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: almost ran out of memory on the computer when we 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: were recording the Lebron video. Demanse was here for the 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 3: beginning of it, left, came back. I was still going, 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 3: it's gonna be great that comes out on Sunday. But 56 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: before we get to today's show, let's get to, as 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: we always do, what we are not discussing on today's 58 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: version of What's Right with Nick Right, we are not 59 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: going to get into Genie Buss's Twitter account getting hacked 60 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: allegedly selling PlayStations. I thought they were just trying to 61 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: pay for Russell Westbrook buy out. Nos, she got hacked. 62 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: Luca the MVP favorite once again. And by the way, 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: have you seen the pictures demande of Skinny Luca? 64 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: Yeah about young when he was young. 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: No from this week, look at Skinny Luca. Somebody get 66 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: my large adult Slovenian son of Sandwich. My man is 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: trimmed down this summer in Slovenia. And we are not 68 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 3: talking about f one's Lewis Hamilton joining the Broncos ownership group. 69 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: Because we do not talk about F one on this show, however, 70 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: we will be talking about what I thought should have 71 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: been considered the biggest sports story of the summer. But 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: it seemed like Ben Vallin, Dan Levettard, Mike Florio and 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: me were the only people giving it the respect it deserved. Finally, 74 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 3: the NFL now follow suit talking about the Dolphins and 75 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: Tom Brady and the whole nine, so demonse get Us 76 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: started up. 77 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: According to a league investigation, the Dolphins repeatedly talked to 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: Tom Brady and Sean Payton without permission while while both 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: of them were under contract. Yep, they've lost their twenty 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: twenty first round pick and their twenty twenty four to 81 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: third round pick as a penalty. Team owner Stephen Ross 82 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: is suspended through six games and also has been fine 83 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: to one point five million dollars, But his net worth 84 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: is sitting at about eight point two billion, so it's 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: how much. 86 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: That's going to hurt the financial penalty probably not going 87 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: to resonate that much. With Steven go ahead and. 88 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: By the way, being suspended for six games, he's the 89 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: team owner, so is go to the games. 90 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: He can't go to the facilities, can't go to the games. 91 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 4: Okay. 92 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 3: So and he's also not you know some team owners 93 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: or hands on right, and. 94 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: It's like, hey, they're calling stuff in. 95 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 3: Well, not not plays, but organizational decisions, okay, And he 96 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: cannot be consulted theoretically on those things. So he can 97 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: have no contact in that regard, all right. 98 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: God And also, and back in twenty nineteen, when accused 99 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: of intentionally tanking or telling coach Brian floor Is to 100 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: intentionally tank, they were no, they were not found guilty 101 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: because there was no evidence that they were ever trying 102 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: to tank, because Brian Flora was actually winning games. 103 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 3: And if you know he the claim there is that 104 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: I said it, but I was joking exactly the old 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 3: I lose a game, I'll give you one hundred thousand. 106 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Dollars, which is very crazy, as the league, not as 107 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 2: the league came down hard enough on the Dolphins. 108 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: Okay, So let's talk about that and then we can 109 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: we will. I will bring us to the Brady point, 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: because the executive producer of the show, Gabe Goodwin, would 111 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: quit in protest if we don't talk about the Brady 112 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: particular complicity here. 113 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: Right. 114 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 3: So here's the problem. First of all, I really dislike 115 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 3: Stephen Ross's statement where he implied that the investigation found 116 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: that Brian Flores's allegations had no merit. It found the opposite, Hey, 117 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: that they you did mention the one hundred thousand per loss. 118 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: The league just decided you were joking there and that 119 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 3: you were tampering, which is one of the things Brian 120 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: Floor has alleged. So I think Brian Flores comes out 121 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: of this looking better than anybody. I think it's full 122 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: vindication for him. Here is the problem with the league 123 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 3: saying that, and I quote the scope and the I 124 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: want to get this exactly right. The scope and the 125 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: severity of this level of tampering was unprecedented. The problem 126 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: with the league saying this is the worst example of 127 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: tampering we've ever seen, while also saying you're going to 128 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: your penalty for that is going to be a slightly 129 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: lower price than the Seattle Seahawks paid to acquire Jamal 130 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: Adams is if for multi years with multiple teams when 131 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: Brady was a Patriot, then when Brady was a Buck, 132 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 3: you tamper with not only the quarterback of another team, 133 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 3: but the Super Bowl winning quarterback of another team do 134 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: it when he goes to the next team. Actually, it 135 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: would appear induce him into retiring from that team and 136 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: to get him on your team, which almost happened, and 137 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: then also do the same thing with a Super Bowl 138 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: champion coach. If the penalty is just a first and 139 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: a third, I think it actually sends the opposite message 140 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 3: to the league is trying to send to the to 141 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: the rest of the league, which is I think the 142 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 3: message they're trying to send is you'll be punished harshly 143 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: for tamper the team. But if you know the ceiling 144 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: of penalty for doing it multiple years involving the greatest 145 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: player ever is a first and a third, then doesn't 146 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: it make you feel pretty confident? All right? If we 147 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: tamper with Chris Godwin when he's approaching free agency, what's 148 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: gonna happen? Maybe we lose a fifth round pick. It 149 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: would be not to bring up bad memories of yours, 150 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: But Demanse went through a period in high school where 151 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: you got in trouble a lot. You're you know, you 152 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: just you didn't do a lot of bad things, but 153 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: you seem to do them in an order of as 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 3: soon as you got out of trouble, within six weeks 155 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: you were in trouble again. And it was like he 156 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: really only screwed up twice a year, but he would 157 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: space them out constantly punished. If whatever the biggest scrip was, 158 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: if I called you into me and your mom's room 159 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: and I said, Demanse, this is the most disappointed I've 160 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: ever been in you. This is the angriest I've ever 161 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: been in you. It is unprecedented the scope of your 162 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: mouth seasons and the severity of the penalty that that's approaching. 163 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: So you are grounded for one week and no phone 164 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: for two weeks, I think you'd walk out of there 165 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: being like, oh, well, that's not that bad. And so 166 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: if you are going to use the language the NFL used, 167 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: I think they needed harsher penalty or else. It sends 168 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: the message to the rest of the league is inting 169 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: that big of a deal. Now, to the Brady part 170 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 3: of it, I will almost always take the side of 171 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: worker versus labor versus management, and I like that it's 172 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 3: in the collective bargaining agreement that players and coaches cannot 173 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 3: be penalized for tampering only organizations, and I think in 174 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: real day to day life that's applicable. I think that 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: if all of us ESPN tried to steal me away 176 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: from Fox. I think that if ESPN got in trouble for, 177 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: you know, trying to induce an employee under contract with 178 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: another company, so be it. But should I get in 179 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 3: trouble for listening? I don't think so. I don't think 180 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: that's how that's work, you know what I mean? And 181 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: so I also, as much as I'd love to pile 182 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: on Brady here, I don't have as much of an 183 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: issue with it. But to satiate Gabe Goodwin's thirst for 184 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: some Brady slander, I will read you a tweet from 185 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: the Athletic. NFL teams have been forced to forfeit their 186 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: first round pick three times in league history. Tom Brady 187 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: has been involved in all three instances. Wow Spygate in 188 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, to flate Gate in twenty fifteen, 189 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: and now this tampering with the Miami Dolphins. I want 190 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 3: to say one other thing about the tampering. The Dolphins 191 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: tampering with Brady in twenty nineteen, his last year with 192 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: New England, right when everyone knew that was going to 193 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: be his last year with New England. I don't have 194 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: that big of a problem what because to me, that 195 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 3: was Brady was about to be a free agent, and 196 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: that was them trying to set the table to be 197 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: at the front of the line of his free agency search. 198 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 3: I know that's against the rules. I don't have a 199 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: huge issue with that them continuing it once he signed 200 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: with another team, and the fact that it was successful 201 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 3: it induced him into retiring from his team to try 202 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: to go play for them. That to me is the 203 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: real egregious part of this. And the fact that they 204 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: ran the same you know, I don't want to say scheme, 205 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: but they did the same thing involving a coach and 206 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 3: got him to quit his team, right, And essensibly it's 207 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: one of the reasons maybe they fire Brian and Flores. 208 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: The whole thing is, it was a very effective tampering 209 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 3: until the Flores lawsuit Blue lie whole thing up. I mean, 210 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: they were Would the Dolphins have traded a million bucks 211 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: a first and a third to get Brady and Sean Payton? 212 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: Of course they would have, and it you know, not 213 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: to misquote Scooby Doo, but it wasn't for the meddling kids. 214 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 3: If it wasn't for Brian Flores's lawsuit, it would have 215 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: all worked, all right. I hope, Gabe we got enough 216 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 3: Tom Brady info in there where we were fair to 217 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: Brady but also fair to the history of the league. 218 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: All right, what's next? 219 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: Still loads of criticisms surrounding Watson or Deshaun Watson's six 220 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: games suspension. Seems that everybody on Twitter and everybody basically 221 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: in the world agrees that the punishment should have been harsher, 222 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: But the technicalities of the CVA are getting in the 223 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: way of common sense. 224 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: What should happen to? Here's what's going on? Here? What happens? 225 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say something a little. I don't know 226 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: if it's uncomfortable, but I try to always be as 227 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: honest as I possibly can be when I'm broadcast. I 228 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: I I joke with your mom that I'm more honest 229 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 3: on television than I am in my day to day life. 230 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 3: That I try to be as transparent as possible. Sometimes 231 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: on TV I am a little more judicious with my 232 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: words than here because I don't want them to be 233 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: taken out of context, right, And I think here I 234 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 3: have more room for a full explanation. Okay, So one 235 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: of the things that I think is happening with the 236 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: reaction to what I think the vast majority of people 237 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: think is an incredibly light suspension, is I think, and 238 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: this is where I have to be careful, but it's 239 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 3: what I believe. I think the NFL is benefiting greatly 240 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: right now from the fact that the judge in this 241 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: case happens to be a woman. And by that I 242 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: mean this, I think if that exact same verdicts the 243 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: wrong word, but ruling was issued and it's a male 244 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: judge signing, and it involves the terms of non violent 245 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: sexual assault and continually referring to this as non violent 246 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 3: sexual assault, I think that is far more problematic for 247 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: the league if that is coming from a man's voice 248 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 3: than Judge Sue Robinson. With that said, I personally find 249 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: it just as egregious. But I just think the criticism 250 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: as loud as the criticism has been, I think the 251 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: criticism is actually a little quieter than it would have 252 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 3: been if this was a different person giving the rule. 253 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: All Right, So that's first point. The other point that 254 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 3: is what is happening here is we need to remember 255 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,359 Speaker 3: that while we know of more than two dozen instances. 256 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 3: The league only presented five, and the judge essentially dismissed 257 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 3: one of them, so that she was only looking at 258 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 3: four instances. We also know that the league does draw 259 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: a distinction between violent and non violent sexual assault. Whether 260 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: it should or it shouldn't, it does, and she felt 261 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 3: kind of boxed in by President Jameis Winston got six 262 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: games reduced to three. Zeke got six games that first 263 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: time offenders with otherwise good reputations the harshest penalty they've 264 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: gotten his six games, right. The question that I think 265 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: most people have is is it fair to call someone 266 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: a first time offender when there are this many accusations 267 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: that are they a first time, a second time, a 268 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 3: third time, a fourth time. That's not how they looked 269 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: at it. They looked at these all kind of as one, 270 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: you know, big thing. The other issue that I took 271 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: personally with Judge Robinson's ruling that I think is very 272 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: uncomfortable for the Browns is she put in her ruling 273 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: that Deshaun can now only get massages from team employees, 274 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: essentially like it's got to be set up through the team. 275 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: I think that sets up a very uncomfortable situation for 276 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: the people working for the Browns. Right in that position 277 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: that might say, well, that's not what I signed up for. 278 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: But on the flip side of that is he's the best, 279 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: highest paid, most important player on the team, might like, 280 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: do I have an obligation there? So I think that's 281 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: something for the Browns to handle with, you know, internally, Okay, 282 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: as far as what I think is going to happen, 283 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: this is you know, by the time you guys hear 284 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 3: and see this, we will know if the NFL did, 285 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 3: in fact appeal. I think the NFL will appeal, even though, 286 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: and this is one of those damned if you do, 287 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: damned if you don't things. The optics on that the 288 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: NFL is going to get crushed whether they appeal or 289 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 3: they don't. If they don't, people will say the NFL 290 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 3: was too lenient, even though they wanted a one year suspension. 291 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 3: If they do, people will say, well, then what was 292 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: the point of having this independent arbiter if you're just 293 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: going to overrule them if it doesn't go your way. 294 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: I would be shocked, though, if the NFL let the 295 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: fewest games anyone could have anticipated, being the penalty six 296 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: games and the smallest financial penalty possible, less than four 297 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: hundred grand I don't think that's standing, so I think 298 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: the NFL is gonna appeal. I don't think they are 299 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: going to then impose their full initial we wanted a year. 300 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: That way, it does look there is some deference to 301 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: Judge Robinson's ruling, but I think he's gonna get ten 302 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: to twelve games. I think he's gonna get ten to 303 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 3: twelve games. And from a very cynical standpoint, I think 304 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: it is better for the NFL that he get twelve 305 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: games thereabouts than he get a full year. And the 306 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: reason for that is if he gets a full year, 307 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: then going into next season, this is a story all over. 308 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: His first game with the Browns is for all of this. 309 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: If he gets twelve games again, this should not be 310 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 3: baked into the math on how much he gets. I'm 311 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 3: just if I'm doing the most cynical reading possible, you 312 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: give him twelve games. By the time he comes back, 313 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: the Browns aren't on national TV anymore because they would 314 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: have played twelve games without him. They're out of the 315 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: playoff race. Everyone is focused on other things. It's a story. 316 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 3: The week he comes back, they then finish their season 317 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: and then next year. It's somewhat of a quote clean slate, unquote. 318 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: So I think it's in the league's best interest that 319 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: they up it. They show the world they're taking it seriously, 320 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 3: and they do ten to twelve games. Again, apologies if 321 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: by the time you guys hear this, we already know 322 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: definitively that they are or are not appealing. My guess 323 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: is they do appeal, and they up it somewhat. All right, 324 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 3: what's next? 325 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: First game of the preseason is on Thursday. The Jags 326 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 2: are facing the Raiders, whose hype train is out of control. 327 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 3: Yes it is, thank you for saying that, go ahead. 328 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 4: Do you think the Raiders are getting too much hype? 329 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 4: I mean clearly you do. 330 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean listen. I adding Devontae Adams helps a ton. 331 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 3: And by the way, bummer that Trevor Lawrence is not 332 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 3: playing in this game. I want to see as much 333 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence as possible. If I believed in the for 334 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: an office more and some of their other offseason moves, 335 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: I'd love to be the guy to pick the Jags 336 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 3: to make the playoffs. I'd love to do that. I 337 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: can't do it as much as I believe in Trevor Lawrence. 338 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 3: But set that aside. The problem for the Raiders is 339 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't want to get too much into our full 340 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: NFL season preview, and I know the Raiders made the 341 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 3: playoffs last year. But to me, you gotta look at 342 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: the AFC right now as division division, the Bills in 343 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 3: the East, the Bengals, and the Raiders in the North. 344 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: One of the teams in the South, I think it'll 345 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: be the Colts, but that somebody's got to win the division. 346 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 3: I think the Titans take a step back, and then 347 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: in the West the Chiefs and the Chargers. So we're 348 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: already at six teams that I think our hands down 349 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: better than the Raiders are, or in the team in 350 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: the Colts case, just better positioned. Because somebody's got to 351 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 3: win that division. So the Raiders, the Broncos, the team 352 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 3: that doesn't win the South, call it the Titans. Some 353 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 3: people still believe in the Steelers. I'm not one of them. 354 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: The Browns. If Deshaun has only suspended six games, plus 355 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 3: if the Patriots continue what they had building last year, 356 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 3: I don't buy them, And the Dolphins, I don't buy them. Still, 357 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: the point is it's five or six teams competing for 358 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 3: one spot. And I know our Colin Goaherd loves Derek 359 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: Carr and DeVante Adams, calling him a future Hall of Famer. 360 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: He is, without question, the worst quarterback in his own division. 361 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: Now that's in part because it's the greatest quarterbacking division ever, maybe, 362 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: But when was the last time a team with the 363 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 3: worst quarterback in a division made some serious noise? It 364 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: is you've got to have. If that can happen, it's 365 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 3: because your team is built to win despite the quarterback, 366 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: the way some would argue the Niners were a few 367 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: years ago. But that's not the cage with the Raiders. 368 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 3: What they do best is throw the football their passing game. 369 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: And so yeah, I am fading the Raiders this year. 370 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: I think they are an under five hundred football team, 371 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 3: not a tear gable football team, but too many difficult games, 372 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: too tough of a schedule, and I don't think adding 373 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: DeVante Adams is enough of a needle mover all, Right, 374 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 3: what's last? 375 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: During the offseason, Deebo Samuel requested a trade, which many 376 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: people think that he was unhappy with his role. Sunday, 377 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: he agreed to a three year seventy five million dollars deal, 378 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 2: fifty eight point one million being guaranteed, and over the 379 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: course of these three years, if he breaks or hits 380 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: the milestones as a running back, he'll get just under 381 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: two million dollars. 382 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 4: Yep. 383 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: Are the forty nine Ers a scary team with Trey 384 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: Lance and Deebo Samuel Listen. 385 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 3: I think that they're again not to do the full 386 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: NFL preview thing, but I believe in Trey Lance. I 387 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: think the Niners are right now. They're my favorites to 388 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 3: win the NFC. I agree the Niners will buy the 389 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 3: end of the year, will have upgraded at quarterback. The beginning, 390 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 3: there's gonna be some And by upgraded at quarterback, I 391 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: don't mean moved on from Trey Lance. What I mean is, 392 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 3: let me say that differently, by December of this season, 393 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: they will have better quarterbacking than they had in December 394 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: and January of last season. I think by the end 395 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: of this year Trey Lance will be better than Jimmy 396 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 3: Garoppolo was in that offense beginning of the year. I 397 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: think it's going to be some growing pains. Getting Deebo 398 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: under contract was massive. I floated on first things first 399 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 3: on Wednesday. Could they be the team that adds Odell. 400 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: They could use some speed there. I love their defense, 401 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 3: I love their coaching staff, I love the athleticism at quarterback. 402 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 3: I love that they got Deebo done. They don't have 403 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: to deal with it. I really to me the nin 404 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 3: we are overwhelmingly likely to have an NFC Championship Game 405 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: rematch of Niners Rams, but this one where the Niners 406 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: can go toe to toe it as far as making 407 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: plays on offense with the Rams with what Trey Lance 408 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 3: will be by at that point is eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth 409 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 3: career NFL start. So I think they are smart for 410 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: moving on for Jimmy g. They were smart for paying 411 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel because he didn't want them to use him 412 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 3: as a running back and for his wide receiver value 413 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 3: to go down. Now he's protected from that, got fifty 414 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: eight million bucks. I love the Niners this year. I 415 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 3: love him even more if they're the team that adds 416 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 3: Odell once he gets back from the need. 417 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: Oh go ahead. What's Whatdell's real value these days? 418 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 3: Well, it's a real question because he tore his ACL 419 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. He's got a bunch of injuries. 420 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 3: But where he helped himself greatly was he got to 421 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 3: the rams. Not only was he not a distraction, he 422 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 3: was awesome in the NFC Championship game and he was 423 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: on pace to maybe being Super Bowl MVP. 424 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: So it was. 425 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: Awesome in the Super Bowl until he got hurt. So 426 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: I think he has real value if the team is 427 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 3: a contender. I think the Niners are. I think Green 428 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: Bay also makes a ton of sense for Odell, but 429 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: I don't know that he wants to live in the 430 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 3: cold in that small town, so I think the Niners 431 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: make a lot of sense. Will be right back. 432 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

Our special edition podcasts 443 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: come out on Sunday, so be looking for that. But 444 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: also on today's show, I think we have a real 445 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 3: chance of turning Demon's turning this into the most financially 446 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: and personally and well, I should say, financially and professionally 447 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: profitable weeks of your life. Finanefully it already has been 448 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: with the ten thousand, but we've got something in the 449 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: fire segment of the show that I truly believe that 450 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: if we get fans of the show, behind the great 451 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 3: Fox social media team, behind the great people at Blue Duck, 452 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: all the people involved in this podcast, I think you 453 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: have a real shot of the taking may it would 454 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 3: be it would take you potentially away from this podcast 455 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: for a period of time, but it would be worth it. 456 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: We will discuss that at the end of the show. However, 457 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: right now we're begin to before we get to a 458 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 3: new game. The guys have told me there's a new 459 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: game we are debuting. I don't know what it is. 460 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 3: Before we get to that, you guys want to show 461 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 3: me an old tweet of mine, which I love to see, 462 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: So go ahead. 463 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: Fan of the show sent into the producers a cold take, tweeting. 464 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 3: Ors Okay, where's it from? 465 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: From twenty eleven? 466 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: Okay, that's always a little dangerous. 467 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: Go ahead, So I don't know if we're rolling the tweet, 468 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 4: but I've got it right here. 469 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 3: Uh huh, what is it? 470 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: You've got a oh, there it is. 471 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: Oh it's my top twelve of all time at that 472 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 3: point in time. 473 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 4: Yep. For those of you listen on the podcast. 474 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 2: Is Jordan at number one, Russell at number two, Magic 475 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: at three, Kareem at four, Wilt at five, Duncan at six, 476 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: Kobe at seven, Bird at nine, Bird at eight, Bird 477 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: at eight, sorry, Oscar at nine, Shock at ten, West 478 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: at eleven Jary West okay, and then Lebron Lebron at 479 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: number twelve, Lebron at number six twenty eleven. 480 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 4: Though. 481 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 3: Okay, so people have been sending me this. First of all, 482 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 3: great job by you recognizing that we have audio listeners, 483 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: not just viewers, so you got to read out the tweet. 484 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 3: I had forgotten that. Great job. People have been sending 485 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: this to me as some type of taunt about my 486 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 3: lack of consistency. All right, I actually think this shows 487 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: amazing consistency over the last decade. So first let me 488 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: address what is on its face two obvious errors. Two 489 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: guys who have not played a game since twenty eleven 490 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 3: moved up in the rankings. So how could that happened? 491 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 3: So Kareem went from behind Jordan and Magic to ahead 492 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: of both of them, and a Cheme went from behind 493 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 3: Shack to ahead of him. Right, Okay, I think those 494 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: are both incredibly easy to explain. And the answer is 495 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 3: I was not as educated then as I am now. 496 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 3: In twenty eleven, I wasn't efforting to write a book 497 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 3: on this. I was doing it just from my own 498 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 3: general thoughts feelings that if I'm being totally transparent on 499 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: the Kareem's stuff in particular, I think was clouded immensely. 500 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 3: And we can start the clock if we want, because 501 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna spend a little bit of time on this immensely. 502 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: From Bill Simmons opinions on Kareem and Bill Simmons he 503 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: had written this great book, the Book of Basketbory, the 504 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: seventy five Grace Players. Ever, and Bill has I would say, 505 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: a saltier view of Kareem than certainly than I came 506 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: to have, and I hadn't done my own independent research 507 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 3: on it. So that's why I was as shocked as 508 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: anybody that going into the project, I would have thought 509 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 3: I would have had Kareem behind Magic and certainly behind Jordan. 510 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: I was as shocked as anybody whin after I did 511 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: the research, that's no longer the opinion I held. The 512 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 3: Akeem take is very simple, and you can say I 513 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 3: was indoctrinated somewhat, But this was before I had moved 514 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 3: to and worked in Houston, and there was once I 515 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 3: lived there, and there was such reverence for a Keem 516 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: and my co host on the radio, John Lopez, who 517 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 3: I greatly respect his basketball opinion. He actually thinks Wilt 518 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: is the greatest player ever. But set that aside, and 519 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: who covered that, said, Nick, if you got to look 520 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 3: into a team outside of the two titles, he's like, 521 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 3: you're just he goes. Once you do it, you're going 522 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 3: to have a greater appreciation for him, which I did. 523 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: I looked at it and I said, oh, I had 524 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: underrated this guy. So that's the adjustments of the two 525 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 3: guys who haven't played all the other guys. The order 526 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 3: stays the exact same, So Russell, Wilt, Weston, Oscar not 527 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: eligible for my list. 528 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 4: But I have. 529 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 3: I had a decade ago Duncan just ahead of Kobe. 530 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: By the way, since then Duncan went to the finals 531 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 3: twice more and won another title, further solidified himself out 532 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 3: of Kobe. I had Kobe just ahead a bird. Kobe 533 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: played a little bit since then, but didn't do anything substantial. 534 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 3: I had, and I had Shack as the last guy 535 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 3: in the in the grouping it all. One could also 536 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 3: argue Nick on my I have what happens to Doctor 537 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: J and Moses? Well, Doctor J and Moses would have 538 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 3: been on the outside of this twelve if you will, 539 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 3: if we had added Wilton, Oscar and Russell. If it 540 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 3: wasn't the last fifty years, this is all time. Also, 541 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: if I'm being honest, in twenty eleven, I don't think 542 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: I knew as much about Doctor J and Moses as 543 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: I do now. Then it comes to the lebron thing. Folks, 544 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 3: send me this and say, oh went from outside of 545 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: the top ten to number one. 546 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: Goddamn rights the easiest one. 547 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 3: He won four titles, won two more MVPs went to 548 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: it went to nine more finals since I sent out 549 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 3: this tweet. Guess what, America, if you send me my 550 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 3: list that right now has Giannis outside of the top 551 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 3: thirteen in a decade, and he's added four more rings, 552 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: a couple more MVPs, and eight more finals trips, He's 553 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: gonna have skyrocketing, right So what what would have been 554 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 3: bad for me would have been if this list had 555 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: no connection whatsoever to my current one. But really, with 556 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: the only exception being I had underrated a couple big 557 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 3: men from the seventies and eighties in Kareem and a Chem, 558 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 3: I say I did well. And the other reason I 559 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 3: love this tweet that it's being brought up is the following. 560 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: It's alleged by some corners of the Internet that the 561 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 3: Lebron stuff is like me playing a character. I'm trying 562 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 3: to be the anti skip fs one told me to 563 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: do it, And this is documentation that back when I 564 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: was doing midday radio in Kansas City, right I was 565 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: still hashtagging tweets with can't help my love for Lebron. 566 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: So that's authentic all right. Time Now for a new game, 567 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 3: what's the new game now? 568 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: Hunter for NFL Hall of Fame enshrinment ceremonies this weekend. 569 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: It's time for a new game. 570 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 4: Called first Mid and Chill, not and chill with first 571 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 4: Mid Chill. 572 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: Okay, I got it. Hold on, before we even get 573 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: to it, I understand this is a play on the 574 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: game f Mary Kill. So we're calling it first mid Chill. 575 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 4: But it actually makes a lot of sense. 576 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 3: Except for the fact that I'm thirty seven years old 577 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: and I would never call something mid. 578 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I was thinking about it. 579 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 3: That is, as soon as I'm like, I'm gonna cringe 580 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: just thinking about it. That is as that is not 581 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: in my parlance. 582 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 4: Yea. 583 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 3: The only in my whole life. The only way I've 584 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: ever used mid in a sentence was as a teenager 585 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: to describe a type of weed, like that's mid grade. 586 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 3: Like okay, that's but I But young people these days use, oh, 587 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: that's mid People send me like people respond to some 588 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 3: of my takes on the show, They're like, mid take, bro, 589 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 3: I'm like, mid take. 590 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 4: Like, those are people you probably wouldn't I wouldn't know. 591 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 3: I wouldn't, but I will because I do appreciate the 592 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 3: turn of phrase of F Mary Kill. Turning into first 593 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 3: mid Chill and even rhymes kill and chill all play along, 594 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 3: but we might have to tweak the title at some point. Okay, go, 595 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 3: so you're gonna so you're gonna get me three current players, 596 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: and what's happening? 597 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 4: Three current players? 598 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: You'll tell me which one's the first ballot Hall of Famer, 599 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: which one has a shot, and which one will not 600 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: make it in Okay, And so for our first group 601 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: of guys, we've got Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen. 602 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 3: Okay, I you know I'm on the record here. Josh 603 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 3: Allen has earned my fear and respect. I will put 604 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: him first. Lamar Jackson is the one that we will 605 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 3: call mid again. I don't like it, and Kyler Chill Like, yeah, 606 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: I would be. I would be shocked if Kyler Murray 607 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 3: into his career and it's even a Hall of Fame's. 608 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: Got no hope in this guy just because he's small. 609 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 3: That is true. I don't like small athletes. 610 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 4: I don't want Kyler Murray to well. 611 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 3: And what's funny that I get that, and I'm not 612 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 3: rooting against him. I just naturally lean towards bigger, stronger, faster, 613 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: more powerful. It's just he's always a safer as well. No, 614 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 3: that's true, No, no, no, he has the speed part of it. 615 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: That part's true, and especially at that position. I just 616 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 3: it's really hard for me to buy into it. But 617 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: even if I didn't have my skepticism, Lamar has won 618 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 3: a League MVP and won a playoff game. Josh Allen 619 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 3: is a favorite to win League MVP this year, has 620 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 3: won a couple of playoff games, and his most recent 621 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 3: playoff loss, he played a nearly flawless game, just got 622 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: beat by the Chiefs with ten seconds left. So crazy, 623 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 3: And so it's not it's shade. You could really like 624 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 3: Kyler and still have him third on. 625 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: This list, all right, now number two? Justin Jefferson, Jamar 626 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 2: Chase or Jalen Wattle. 627 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 3: All right, this one's also very easy. And I think 628 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 3: all three of these guys could be excellent players, and 629 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 3: they have all had excellent production. But it's easy because 630 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: one of them talent wise to me, is far and 631 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 3: away the best, and one of them situation wise is 632 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 3: in far and away the worst. So Jamar Chase is 633 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 3: I will say first without a doubt. Like Jamar Chase, 634 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to put too much on him, but 635 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 3: I would be surprised if he's not a Hall of 636 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 3: Famer if he stays healthy. He Burrow had an amazing 637 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: report in college. Jamar was so dominant in college he 638 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 3: then sat out a year, still was a consensus top 639 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 3: ten pick. And then I think you can argue that 640 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 3: he is already the single best receiver in the league. 641 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 3: I think you could argue he's better than Nuke, He's 642 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 3: better than DeVante, better than Tyreek, better than Coup. I'm 643 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 3: not saying definitively he is, but he has an argument 644 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 3: for it. Justin Jefferson production wise with a Oka quarterback, 645 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 3: and Kirk Cousins has been historically great production wise. I 646 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 3: really like Jefferson. To me, he's second. He would be 647 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 3: the mid category. By the way, I got a little 648 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 3: text during the second from Gabe, our fearless executive producer, 649 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 3: who is actually a little bit older than me, and 650 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 3: he said he initially named this game first maybe Chill, 651 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 3: and it was changed to mid by one of our 652 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 3: gen Z producers. You think it was Nick Okay, you 653 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: think it's Nick Winer. I thought it was Mos. That 654 00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 3: was my guess. 655 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 4: If most of you a second really, I. 656 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 3: Don't really know mos that Wellies just feels like the 657 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 3: type of guy who's gonna be like, nah, Bro's mid. 658 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: Like that's what I thought. So I'm gonna put Justin 659 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 3: Jefferson in the mid category of this list, and Jalen Waddle, 660 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 3: who had one hundred catches and put up numbers as 661 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: a rookie that you have only been totally matched by Inkmbolden. 662 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna put him as chill because of his situation, 663 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 3: because now not only is he not the focal point 664 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: of the offense because Tyreek got there. More importantly, I 665 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 3: think Jamar's got an excellent quarterback in Burrow. Jefferson. Jefferson's 666 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: got a competent quarterback and Cousins, and I think Waddle's 667 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: you know, got Tua who I think they're gonna be 668 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 3: changing quarterbacks. I'm not a to a guy anymore. I was. 669 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 3: I thought I said he should go number one in 670 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 3: the draft over Burrow, and then I was just wrong 671 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 3: about it. 672 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 4: What did you say, switched up with you? 673 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 3: No, that wasn't why he was because I watched him play. 674 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 3: All right, what's last number three? 675 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor and Zeke Elliott, Oh all right. 676 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if any of these guys are gonna 677 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 3: be Hall of Famers, but I'm gonna put Jonathan Taylor 678 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 3: first because he's never suffered the major injury that Simac has, 679 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 3: and his production the first two years are outstanding. He 680 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: had almost two thousand yards last year. If he can 681 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 3: stay healthy, why not. I'm gonna put Christian McCaffrey's second 682 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 3: because I do think he has unbelievable ability, but the 683 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 3: injury stuff concerns me, and I'm without a doubt putting 684 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 3: Zeke last because Zeke's best days are clearly behind him. 685 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna have any more Monster seasons 686 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 3: and his production up to this point so his career 687 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 3: is far closer to the end of than to the beginning, 688 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 3: and he's not a Hall of Fame level player. Look 689 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 3: like he was gonna be the first couple of years. Yeah, 690 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 3: has not turned into that. What's sad is that we 691 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 3: don't even include Saquon on these lists anymore because of 692 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: all of his injuries. But there it is, first edition. 693 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 3: I like the game. We can tweak the title. We 694 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 3: come back. We make Demonse a movie star literally, that's 695 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 3: what we do next. What's Right? All right? Welcome back 696 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 3: in final segment, What's Right? Nick Right? The podcast, the 697 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 3: YouTube show all the above, and Demonse is clearly the 698 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: most favorite member of the podcast, as evidenced by you 699 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 3: guys selling me out to help him win ten thousand dollars. 700 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 3: Demanse also is the most athletic member of the podcast 701 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 3: and the tallest member of the podcast. Here's why I 702 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 3: bring those things up, and we can start the clock 703 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 3: because it's gonna be quick. Demanse, I think we have 704 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 3: a real chance of making you a movie star. Yeah, okay, 705 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 3: so I've talked to you about a little of this. 706 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 3: I talked with you about this a little bit.
