That's basically 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: what's happening here on Fox Sports Radio. In fact, I 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: was talking with Aaron Torres before I went on air 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: because obviously I'm going four hours solo, no k fig tonight, 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: which I still have the instant replay machine. Of course, 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: obviously my Wilson here, my volleyball to talk back to 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: Breebreeze here, Mark is here. But Aaron Torres was like, so, 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: who young with tonight. I was like, just just me. 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, hey, good luck fun.

A lot to 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: get into, including we might have Petros Papaetus on this hour. 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: Next hour. La Murray of the Athletic will be here, 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: my friend Lot Murray covers the Clippers for the Athletic, 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: also covers the NBA nationally. As we're just about ten 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: days away from opening night. Opening tip, we got geek news. 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna review pt Anderson's latest flick. Tell you if 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: it's better than Boogie Knights plus a ton of NFL. 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna try something called matchup power rankings in the 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: second hour. I may even let Breebrey help me out 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: with that. But before anything else, you know how we 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: do things here. Even though the f of the FNA 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: is gone, it's still first off, Baby Mark, give me 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: that good college football drum line music with Nick Cannon. 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: I think so, I'm gonna call this my college football rap, 31 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: but like wr ap, just to wrap up the week, 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: as we had kind of a big deal week. So 33 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: you may know on Friday night last night, we're doing 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: FNSR till two in the morning Pacific Center time. So 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: it takes a really good game for me to want 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: to wake up at nine am. I'm sorry, big noon kickoff, 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: but I knew ahead of time. Ohio State Illinois was 38 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: not going to be that looked like Illinois knew too. 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: They pulled an organ made it more about the uniforms 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: and the actual game. We're having an orange out. We're 41 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: gonna wear all orange. They said, Hey, it's October, we 42 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: can all look like pumpkins. Well they turned back into them, 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: and you might as well call Ohio State Billy Corgan 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: because they were the smashing pumpkins in this case out there, like, 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: that is not Billy Corgan, that is not the smashing Pumpkins. 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: I take offence to limp Biscuit being compared to them, 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: but there was definitely some melancholy and definitely some infinite 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: sadness in Illinois. The smashing Pumpkins are from Chicago, so 49 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: I thought that would make sense. But I did wake 50 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: up at noon and the game was over, because really 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: it was over before it ever started. Ohio State has 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: the best defense in the country. There's no shame in 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: losing to them. But Illinois was ranked seventeenth. I know 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: they only have two losses, but they were decisive ones 55 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: to Ohio State and Indiana. Those two losses they lost 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: by combined seventy one points. Get them out of here, 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: like it's over. They are no longer playoff eligible in 58 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: my mind, in my one man playoff committee, like I've 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: seen enough, Illinois, You're done. You wanted to look like 60 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Shyracuse today. You did by the end of the game 61 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: that Eliini Orange looked more burnt orange than Texas. After 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith got done burning them with a fade route 63 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: on that last touchdown, Ohio State put the game away there. 64 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: Illinois is not the only team that's ineligible to make 65 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the playoff. 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: Now. 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: In my mind, the same goes for Florida State. They've 68 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: shown who they really are and we let them off 69 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: the hook. Sorry, that's greed there for you. But since 70 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: Week one after they beat Alabama, that looks very fluky. 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: Now they've lost three in a row. Florida State lost 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: to pitt today. It's over ship them out. They're done. 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: Going back to last season with Florida State, they have 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: eight straight acc losses. The Seminoles haven't won a conference 75 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: game in three hundred and eighty five days. Meanwhile, the 76 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: team they beat in Week one, Alabama, just forty eight 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: days ago. Bama's looking good. They went from looking like 78 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: Calen's of Boor was going to get fired faster than 79 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: to Sean Foster with UCLA to having the most impressive 80 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: month in college football after they beat Missou Today they 81 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: won in Missouri. Those fourth down throws by Ty Simpson. 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: They were impressive. I think they you know, during this 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: five game winning streak since losing to Florida State, Alabama 84 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: has gotten fourteen touchdowns to one pick from Ty Simpson. 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: He's gonna leave for the Heisman now he is. He 86 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: is the leader in the clubhouse and Missoo had won 87 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: fifteen straight at home. That is a high quality win. 88 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that picked Mazoo to 89 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: win that game. And this was the third straight, third 90 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: straight week Bama faced a ranked, undefeated team. Kala de 91 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Boor has more than righted the ship. They look like 92 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: a speedboat right now. They do get Tennessee at home 93 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: next week, though. Obama as for Texas and Oklahoma in 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: the tongue twister Red River Rivalry, Red River Rivalry. If 95 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: you were a former offensive lineman, I hope you didn't 96 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: watch Oklahoma versus Texas because they were getting shredded. The 97 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: Red River looked more like the Red Sea with the 98 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: way those offensive lines were parting like I thought I 99 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: saw Charleston Heston at one point. That Oklahoma offensive line 100 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: got wrecked. Biggest drive, biggest moment of the Red River 101 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: Rivalry came when Texas drove seventy five yards and got 102 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass from Arch Manning to DeAndre Moore. It 103 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: was huge. Manning was you could say, surgical for his standard. 104 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: Arch Manning more immerse than surgeon maybe when it comes 105 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: to arch Manning. Look, I think Petros would attest to 106 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: this too their kids, unless there would be YU congrats 107 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: to them being the wildcast. But how quickly we all 108 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: forget as we judged these teenagers, some of them young 109 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: men in their early twenties. We hold these players to 110 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: standards we never held ourselves to. I think it's kind 111 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: of bs. The older I get, the more sympathetic I 112 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: become to people making mistakes or having missteps. And it's 113 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: not like Arch Manning has done anything wrong. I don't 114 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: know why so many people were praying for his downfall 115 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: because of his last name and expectations he never asked for. 116 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Why root against him? Why hate? I'm kind of happy 117 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: for Arch that run he had going left to seal 118 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: the game, waving goodbye to the Sooners, his first and 119 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: only signature moments so far. But as for what happens 120 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: with Texas with this win, well, I still got a 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Georgia coming up. Texas A and m it's going to 122 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: be difficult to get back into the playoffs because such 123 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: a slow start. As the SEC great victory. As for Jametier, 124 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: he played, he threw three picks. Honestly, I think they 125 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: lose the game regardless him being fully healthy. I don't 126 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: know if that makes a difference, Skip Bayless. I know 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: some people are trying to say, no, they're winning this game. 128 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: If John Matier was healthy and he didn't have to 129 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: ramp up all of a sudden, and he was back 130 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: in seventeen days after having surgery on the thumb, how 131 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: does that make a difference with their offensive line that 132 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: was surgical in their own way, with the pressure they 133 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: were getting on him that wasn't about the thumb. You 134 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: could count the number of plays where he had a 135 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: clean pocket on one hand. If you want to know 136 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: who won the games this weekend, just go to the trenches. 137 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: Like that's the old John Madden. Focus on that part 138 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: of the game. It's not sexy, but it usually determines 139 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the outcome, as it did for my uh Oregon Ducks. 140 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why we need the bong in there 141 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: just because it's Oregon, but it didn't start great for Indiana, 142 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: and I am a Ducks fan, and I even thought, 143 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: I even thought there were some favorable calls that were 144 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: going their way. Early on Kurt Signetti, he looked like 145 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: he was gonna get flagged for roughing the referee after 146 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: a badly missed PI call in the second quarter. Someone 147 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: said he almost went full Bobby Knight and could have 148 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: picked up an entire bench instead of a chair and 149 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: thrown that across the field. Like Signetti is a force 150 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: of nature. They eventually started to get those PI calls 151 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: in their favor Indiana in the second half, and it 152 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: led to a rushing touchdown putting them up twenty or thirteen. Sometimes, 153 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, complaining works. Signetti was very Kurt, you could say. 154 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: The most impressive thing to me, though, was after Indiana's 155 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: quarterback Fernando Mendoza throws a pick six at the twelve 156 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: forty two mark of the fourth on a ball that 157 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: was well underthrown. He was on his back foot. Mendoza 158 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: comes right back and goes with a back shoulder throw 159 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: to Surrat for the touchdown on third down with six 160 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: minutes left to put them up twenty seven and twenty. 161 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: Incredible bounce back drive from Mendoza to show that confidence 162 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: after a pick six like that. But after Indiana sealed 163 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: the game by taking out who I thought was the 164 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: Heisman favorite in Dante more I think it was a 165 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: tip pick. They continued to get pressure all game long, 166 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: which I didn't see coming. They were slicing in dice 167 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: in Oregan's offensive line. It goes back to winning that 168 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: battle in the trenches. That was the difference in the game. 169 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: Indiana had never beaten a top five team on the road. 170 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: Incredible win. Signetti told you, I win, Google me, I 171 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: win Google me. What a badass, what a win. I 172 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: legit thought Oregon was the best team in the country. 173 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: I thought Dante Moore was winning the Heisman. That's probably 174 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: not happening at this point. It's more in a game 175 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: with the Oregon Ducks. So from the most heralded and celebrated 176 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: coach in the country to the most criticized, as James 177 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Franklin said, you know what, I can also lose to 178 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: bottom ten teams too. Let me distract you from being 179 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: four and twenty one against top ten teams first by 180 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: losing the UCLA last weekend when they were twenty five 181 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: point favorites. When I said, going in, what's going to 182 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: be higher in the game, Penn State with the amount 183 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: of points they score on the Bruins or the plane 184 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: flying the banner that says fire Martin jarmin their ad Well. 185 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: UCLA has won two in a row now and Penn 186 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: State has lost three straight after losing at home to 187 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Northwestern today, Happy Valley is miserable. Drew Isler went down 188 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: with the leg injury. He's out for the season. Do 189 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: we know why? Were there specifics about this acl amputation? Like, 190 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: it's awful. Everything is going horribly for Penn State. I 191 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: feel for them. I feel for Drew Howler. James Franklin 192 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: is he going to make the trip to Iowa next week? Brie? 193 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: Are you a refreshing Twitter right now? Just to make 194 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: sure he is still the head coach? Like this is 195 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: as bad of a meltdown and an implosion as I 196 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: have ever seen. Like since James Franklin's first season in 197 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, he now has four losses as a twenty 198 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: plus point favorite, the most of any head coach. Penn 199 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: State's also the first school to lose consecutive games as 200 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: a twenty plus point favorite in the last thirty years, 201 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: all the expectations they had. They were ranked number two 202 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: in the AP coming in this year, right behind Texas 203 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: at number one, and they are crumbling underneath those expectations. 204 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: But James Franklin has a huge buyout. I don't know 205 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: what's happen. 206 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. 207 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: I did see this, someone said, here lies Penn State's 208 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. Oregon killed their hopes, UCLA laid 209 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: them to rest, and now Northwestern is dancing on their grave. 210 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: That kind of sums it up. The only bigger meltdown 211 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: this season so far that would have happened before the 212 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: half was over. Between Georgia and Auburn. The end of 213 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: the first half in that ballgame was a cluster f 214 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: of epic proportions. Auburn, they have it at the goal line, 215 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: they run a sneak. It looks like Jackson Arnold gets in. 216 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: They're about to go up seventeen to nothing. But the 217 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: ball comes out and Georgia recovers did it come out 218 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: before he crossed the goal line? Well, after a ten 219 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: minute review, they said it did. The call in the 220 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: field was confirmed, but you can see the ball crossed 221 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: the goal line. You don't need the hawk eyed Jeremy 222 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Renner vision to see this. It's obvious. But Georgia had 223 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: the football then There's about no joke. Ten more penalties 224 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: before the end of the first half, including a targeting 225 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: call that was reviewed, a late hit call multiple reviews, 226 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: and literally eighty five yards worth of penalty yardage alone, 227 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: which ended up getting Georgia field goal. So instead of 228 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: Auburn being up seventeen to nothing, it's ten to three Auburn. 229 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: That's a ten point swing at the half. That's why 230 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: they lost the ballgame. Hugh Freeze looked catatonic after what 231 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: happened against Oklahoma just a couple of weeks ago too. 232 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze had his face freeze like he was stunned 233 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: at the egregious calls one after another. That was the 234 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: most unwatchable ending to a half of football I've ever seen. 235 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: And I could care less about either team here. It's 236 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: to sec whatever. Like I said, kind of an Oregon guy, 237 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: the last minute thirty two of the half took twenty 238 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: two minutes in real time, not to mention the Kirby 239 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: smart fake time out. Now, I guess it depends on 240 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: who you believe. Are you going for Auburn or Georgia here. 241 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: Some are saying they gave him a free timeout because 242 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the clock was running down, the play clock and his 243 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: team had the ball. It looked like he was making 244 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: a tee. Apparently he said no, I was clapping, and 245 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: he was saying that Auburn was clapping and trying to 246 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: get them off sides. Can't do that. I think Kirby 247 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Smart got away with one, and I think the SEC 248 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: is probably gonna apologize because I don't know who the 249 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: officials were, but they ended up giving him a redo. 250 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: This is professional sports now, with the nil and everything. 251 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: It always has been, but it's never been more official. 252 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: A redo play, so not a timeout, not a delay, 253 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: a game redo. That is incredible to me. But Auburn's offense, 254 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: they kind of got to blame themselves after that goal 255 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: one fumble they had. Maybe that's not the reason they 256 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: lost the game. After that, their offense had zero points, 257 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: three first downs, two in garbage time, forty yards total, 258 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: twenty five of those yards in garbage time. They average 259 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: one point seven yards per play. They could do nothing. 260 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: So Georgia can feel somewhat better about it. I guess 261 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: the refs didn't fully decide this game. But I'd feel 262 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: like Steve Frantis with Jim Gray here. If I was 263 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: an Auburn fan, I would I don't care about either 264 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: of these two teams. What I care about is it 265 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: not taking twenty two minutes for a minute and a 266 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: half to end in the first half. Just get the 267 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: calls right. If you're gonna review it, you have to 268 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: streamline things. You have to make it a little bit 269 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: easier than that. The watchability went down the drain. Auburn's 270 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: one of the best three loss teams we've probably ever 271 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: seen because they've lost a good competition and there's been 272 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: controversy in two of their losses. This is Georgia loss, 273 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: no different, So quite the day. I think you can 274 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: say in college football coming up next, you know what, 275 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: forget the Madden cover curse. What about the two K curse? 276 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: That's next.

I just got home from Cincinnati. Oh. 320 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: Never really used a man like you in Cincinnati. 321 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, No, it doesn't go like that ATAM. 322 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 8: It goes if you should ever use a change of scenery. 323 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 8: We sure could use a guy like you in Cincinnati. 324 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 7: Oh well, but yes, I. 325 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 8: Was there as a charming city and now I'm here 326 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 8: is Cincinnati? 327 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: You gonna win the Big twelve? I know they just 328 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: beat the UCF Knights. 329 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, they didn't look as consistent they made 330 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 8: some mistakes today. And UCF is a really athletic team 331 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 8: with good coaches, but they are sixty three new players. 332 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 8: And Scott Frost who went six and six his first 333 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 8: year at UCF when he was there, you know, a 334 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 8: decade ago. Almost he's kind of in the same position. 335 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 8: But Cincinnati could have put him away maybe three or 336 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 8: four times and sort of failed to. But yeah, they 337 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 8: have a lot of offensive weapons. And Brendan Soresby's really 338 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 8: one of the most underrated quarterbacks that I've seen in 339 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 8: a while. I was impressed with him last year, and 340 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 8: he really changed his body this year and runs the 341 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 8: ball hard into the teeth of the defense. And they 342 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 8: improved on the perimeter, and they have two good backs, 343 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 8: and they have some good linebackers and some good defensive 344 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 8: front secondaries a little suspect, but other than that, they're great. 345 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 8: Texas Tech is great, and BYU is obviously really good. 346 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 8: And it doesn't feel like anybody in the Big twelve 347 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 8: is really maybe Texas Tech and we're still in October, 348 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 8: but any of these teams can can pop up and 349 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 8: bite you in the neck. 350 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 7: It seems like any given time. 351 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: Utah is one of them as well. Beat up on 352 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: Arizona State forty two to ten. 353 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 8: Well, they were without their quarterback, and you know that 354 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 8: guy Simms is a known known offender as far as 355 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 8: a turnover machine goes, and I think they were just 356 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 8: not able to run the full game into their offense. 357 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 8: Levitt's really really good, So I mean, I understand why 358 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 8: that happened. And it's in the rain, and you're in 359 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 8: Salt Lake City, so there a lot of parody in 360 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 8: the Big twelve, I guess is the moral of the story, Adam. 361 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: Did Lincoln Riley just get his big, biggest victory in 362 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: the Big ten so far today? Did you? 363 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 9: Yeah? 364 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 7: I want I say so. No, I mean I don't know. 365 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 7: I wouldn't. 366 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 8: I wasn't going to be surprised if USC won that game. 367 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 8: I mean, just as hard as it is for USC 368 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 8: to go across the country and playing a big historic 369 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 8: stadium in a strange place after a long trip, as 370 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 8: hard as it is for USC to do that, it's 371 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 8: pretty hard for teams to come to the East and 372 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 8: do it in the West, as Penn State, who came 373 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 8: out here and had their whole bubble bursted as far 374 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 8: as their season goes by losing to Ucla, who now 375 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 8: all of a sudden looks like a world beater, and 376 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 8: I'm sure at some point they'll come back down to earth. 377 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 8: But it's an unbelievable change that UCLA's made. But anyway 378 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 8: back to usc yeah, it's a statement. Anytime you could 379 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 8: beat Michigan and the number fifteen team in the country 380 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 8: and you have a walk on running back go for 381 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 8: one hundred something yards King Miller, this kid from Calabasas. 382 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 8: I mean, that's a huge story and good for Lincoln 383 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 8: Riley and the Trojans. I think that once they hit 384 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 8: the road again in the Big Ten, they could fall 385 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 8: like they did against Illinois. But it's a great day 386 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 8: to be a Trojan. But I think it's very underwhelming 387 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 8: performance by the Michigan quarterback Underwood. 388 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: I feel like Indiana has got the best victory of 389 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: the season so far. Like I had Orgon winning the 390 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: whole thing. Of course, you know, I've always worn that 391 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: Duck's hat. I thought they were going to have the 392 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: Heisman as well with Dante Moore and. 393 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 7: Eugene By the way, look. 394 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: I was there for three days once, so. 395 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, all these organ people act like Oregon is so cool. 396 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 8: It's like, go hang out in Eugene and then tell 397 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 8: me that all the fans don't come in from Springfield. 398 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: Hey, I was representing Cottage Grove all right, Yea. 399 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 8: And everybody's got some stupid ass pair of shoes that 400 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 8: are all neon and. 401 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: Athletic ye like custom Nikes. 402 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 8: Dude, it's a place for running one hundred and the 403 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 8: two hundred, like leave me alone. Like, obviously they have 404 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 8: a great football program, but all these organ people like, well, 405 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 8: you know, I'm a duck. It's like, why how much time. 406 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 7: Have you spent in Eugene? Leave me alone? Anyway, Yeah, 407 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 7: I was a huge one. I mean that Signetty guy 408 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 7: is a. 409 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Where the hell did he come from? Does he have 410 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: the same backstory that like Chip Kelly had that was mysterious? No? 411 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 8: No, his father was a coach and he's a West 412 00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 8: Virginia guy. 413 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 7: I mean, he's a coach man. 414 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 8: He's great, and what he's created is pretty phenomenal. But 415 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 8: I think that you're seeing I mean there's a few 416 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 8: teams that really stand out. I mean Ohio State, but 417 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 8: again it's still October. But I think you're going to 418 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 8: see I don't think you're going to see an undefeated 419 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 8: team at the end of the year in college football, 420 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 8: and I don't think it matters as much because of 421 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 8: the size of the playoff, and the playoff is going 422 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 8: to grow, so it's going to matter less. So if 423 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 8: you're NBC or whatever and you pay billions of dollars 424 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 8: for the rights to put on these regular season games, 425 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 8: and they only lose their meaning every time ESPN expands 426 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 8: their college football playoffs. So it is kind of an 427 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 8: interesting time. But I don't think I think you're going 428 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 8: to see a lot of parody, like Oklahoma going out 429 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 8: today and lay in an egg. 430 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: Oklahoma got dominated the Red River rivalry. Is I'm getting 431 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: dominated by the on button here on the mic. That 432 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: was one where you kind of called it. I heard 433 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: your prediction he was going to be rusty, the thumb 434 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: was going to be an issue. It was, But to me, 435 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: it was still about the offensive line. They just got 436 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: destroyed by Texas in that game. 437 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, they got beat I mean I was on a plane. 438 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 7: You know, when you. 439 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 8: Call a football game, you call that football game and 440 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 8: then you kind of try to catch up with the 441 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 8: rest of the day. But but yeah, I just I 442 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 8: saw that Mateir was not sharp and Texas is off. 443 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 8: I mean, Texas is a really talented team, is a 444 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 8: reason they started out the season ranked number one or 445 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 8: number two. But I think you're going to see them 446 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 8: fall again. I think arch Manning has kind of shown 447 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 8: who he is and which is a decent, big. 448 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 7: Twelve quarterback who's still. 449 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 8: Learning, even though he went through what is it, two 450 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 8: fall camps and a spring ball or two springs in 451 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 8: a fall already maybe three at Texas. So I thought 452 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 8: he would be a little sharper with all the hype 453 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 8: in the off season. 454 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: But should we have known? Did we all just get canned? 455 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 8: Do we all just I mean, because it's not like 456 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 8: he's just going out there, and like he really does 457 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 8: look like Uncle Rico, like he's doing okay. He makes 458 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 8: good plays, he's big, strong, and he can run, and 459 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 8: I mean he's a smart kid obviously, and his teammates 460 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 8: love him. 461 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think that it's like. 462 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 8: He's a total fraud, like he's a hologram or something, 463 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 8: but he's certainly not that you know, Tim Tebow or 464 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 8: or some of these other people who dominated college football 465 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 8: in a way that we hadn't seen before, and then 466 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 8: those were the comparisons that were made in the off season. 467 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 8: So I mean, and then you know they've always handled 468 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 8: it pretty pretty. 469 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 7: Well and in a humble fashion. 470 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 8: But I mean, you're the victim of your own hype, 471 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 8: and he didn't really have that much to do with 472 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 8: it other than just being himself. 473 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: But where do you come out on that pee because 474 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of following in your footsteps that 475 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: I have a hard time hating on the kids, especially 476 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: once like Archie didn't do anything to deserve this much hate. 477 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: He just has him played well. 478 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 7: He did bow up on that one dude from Sam Houghton. 479 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: Oh sure buy Oklahoma today. 480 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's and that's great. But if you're yeah, 481 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 8: and that's good, you beat Oklahoma. So but you know 482 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 8: before that, when you bow up on Sam Houston, it's like, Okay, he's. 483 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: Not Baker Mayfield though out there it's not that extremely. 484 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 8: Well, Baker Mayfield was also out there dominating football right 485 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 8: and crazy ass ways. I mean, I don't have a 486 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 8: problem with arch Man and I don't hate on the kids, 487 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 8: but you know, they do deserve a little bit more 488 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 8: hate than than than we used to get, simply for 489 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 8: the reason that they get. 490 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 7: Paid now a lot. 491 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 8: Like I found out somebody's long snapper was making one 492 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 8: hundred thousand dollars. 493 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 7: My head almost rolled. 494 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 8: Off, like it's hard. You know, it's hard to live 495 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 8: life and know that when you played college football. But 496 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 8: so when they may get they do get paid, you know, 497 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 8: they they are, they are a little bit more and 498 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 8: no expenses by the way, Adam, you know, you get 499 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 8: your money and then they pay for your food and 500 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 8: your housing too, and all your clothes. 501 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: It's it's more professional than it ever has been, even 502 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: though it was back then too. 503 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 8: So you could get clowned a little bit when you 504 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 8: bow up on the dude from Sam Houston. 505 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good with that. Speaking again, clown, you mentioned it. 506 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: But Penn State, is James Franklin going to survive? We're 507 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: hearing the same thing that we heard with Deshaun Foster, like, oh, 508 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: the buyouts too big, they're not going to do it. 509 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 8: Well, you know, in today's day and age, it is 510 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 8: kind of when you have these I mean, and it's 511 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 8: not fair to compare to Sean Foster to James frank. 512 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying what the biots said that you can't 513 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: buy him out. 514 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 8: It was an abject failure and didn't seem like he 515 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 8: ever wanted the job, and probably didn't in the first place. 516 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 8: James Franklin as very notorious for losing big games, and 517 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 8: it feels like losing that Oregon game really sung his battleship. 518 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 8: I mean, they just don't seem like the same team. 519 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 8: And now Drew Aller has suffered the season ending injury, 520 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 8: and it just seems to be going from. 521 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,239 Speaker 7: Bad to worse. But in today's day and age, and 522 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 7: this is the. 523 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 8: Other reason about Deshaun Foster, It's like Deshaun Foster had 524 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 8: a buyout that I'm quite sure, quite certain that it's 525 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 8: nowhere near in the ballpark of James Franklin's for that, 526 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 8: And that's kind of the problem. I mean, we're entering 527 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 8: the world of revenue sharing. We're entering the world of 528 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 8: these athletic departments having to shell out all kinds of 529 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 8: money for all kinds of different reasons. And I mean 530 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 8: we had a conversation earlier about Lincoln Riley, but I 531 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 8: mean Lincoln Riley would have been fired last year if 532 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 8: his buyout wasn't so big, right, So we're in a 533 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 8: different day and age in college football and it's not 534 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 8: as easy to buy these guys out unleft. Of course, 535 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 8: you have you know, Phil Knight or somebody like that 536 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 8: who's willing to step up and do it, which is 537 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 8: basically what Rick Caruso did at USC to hire Lincoln 538 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 8: Riley in. 539 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 7: The first place. 540 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 8: So I don't know Penn State's infrastructure of money, but 541 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 8: somebody would have. 542 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 7: To come up with the buyout because it's not as 543 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 7: easy as it used to be. 544 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: Did you have fun rooting for Jerry Neuheisel like his 545 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: dad did? Is this a big deal to have that? 546 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: Parallel with him winning against Texas and being carried off 547 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the field and then him being EOC and all of 548 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: a sudden they've turned things around. 549 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 7: Yes, they have turned things around. 550 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 8: And it's really impressive because it felt like almost like 551 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 8: a hot air balloon, and that the coaching staff literally 552 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 8: the head coach, the coordinator, and the offensive coordinator were 553 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 8: some kind of ballast and they got cut and then 554 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 8: the balloon took off. That being said, I mean they 555 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 8: literally fired all their coaches. That being said, I mean, 556 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 8: we see how quickly things can change, you know, Ask 557 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 8: John Matteer, Ask the kid from Calabasas, who's a walk 558 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 8: on that ran for one hundred and fifty yards today 559 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 8: for USC King Miller. So as fun as it is, 560 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 8: this is a great moment in the season for UCLA. 561 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 7: I think it's great for Jerry. I think Rick's a 562 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 7: great guy. 563 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 8: That being said, I don't think Tim Skipper's getting enough 564 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 8: credit for actually being the head coach of this football team. 565 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 8: There is that, and I saw him do it last 566 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 8: year at Fresno. He has when Jeff Tedford got sick, 567 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 8: so he has experiences and intern and I think his 568 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 8: attitude and his ability, and he's the guy that told 569 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 8: Tino Sinceri basically to kick rocks and gave Jerry this opportunity. 570 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 7: So I do think Tim, you know, Rick's on TV. 571 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 7: I know that. 572 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 8: You know, Jerry looks like Gidget. It's great and I've 573 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 8: known him for a long time. But he's a great 574 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 8: kid or a guy or man now, you know. But 575 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 8: I do think we're losing the Tim Skipper narrative. And 576 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 8: that's and who knows how if they'll continue. But they 577 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 8: went from people thinking they weren't going to win another 578 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 8: game to how people are starting to talk about, you know, 579 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 8: this is not a walkover. They can get to be 580 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 8: Bowl eligible and they look pretty good and that that 581 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 8: is that's pretty different from losing to New Mexico at home. 582 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Unlike Lincoln Riley, I feel like Hugh Freeze actually has 583 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: a reason to complain about the officials and the refs 584 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: after what happened against Oklahoma. And I don't know if 585 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: you saw the game against Jorge. 586 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 7: Guy that was Olaholm, the hidden guy. 587 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: The hidden guy was Oklahoma today at the goal line. 588 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: It sure looked like Auburn should have been up seventeen 589 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 1: to nothing before the end of the first half. And 590 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: they said he across the line like it most. 591 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 7: I mean, what do you want from me? 592 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, what were you working today? Yeah? 593 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: Should you take a six sears? 594 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 8: The guy next to me on the plane, he was 595 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 8: really nice guy. He's like an editor and I didn't 596 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 8: make a mistake. But you know, I engaged him early 597 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 8: and then it never like he kept asking me questions 598 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 8: and like echo would close my eyes. I put my 599 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 8: hood on, like I tried everything, but I was trying 600 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 8: to watch the games and then like fall asleep and 601 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 8: it's just never. 602 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: Anyway, he never got the signal. 603 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 8: Real time, Like talking to him. I gave my phone number. 604 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 8: I said, you know, call me. 605 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: You know, well you give everyone the secret Texils. 606 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 8: I haven't even even know that I had a radio 607 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 8: show or anything like that, you know, but but some 608 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 8: guy anyway, whatever, So it was a long it was. 609 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 7: It's been a long triple Yeah. 610 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you jumping on with me late night. 611 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: Here is I got four hours here on Fox Sports Radio. 612 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: K Fig is out.

I reviewed some of the games from today. 615 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 7: To go from here. 616 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: I know, you know what, La Murray next hour will 617 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: help me carry this thing. And Breebree might get involved 618 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: with a segment here too. She's producing here at Fox. 619 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: So troubles are over, dude. Yeah, Pete, thanks for doing 620 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: this to night. I appreciate it. 621 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 7: Pleasure. I have a good one and good night to all. 622 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: Coming up next, we will get to Saquon Barkley and 623 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: that little hangover after running for two thousand yards last season? 624 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Is there evidence? Is there a history of this being 625 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: a curse on running backs? I'm out a Oslin and 626 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back in I'm 627 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: out of Moslin. It is Fox Football Sunday. Good to 628 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: be with you. Guys. Just had Petros Papadakas on. No 629 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: big deal, great kid, don't get cocky. Maybe a little 630 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: bit still to come. We got your matchup power rankings 631 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But I gotta start with this. If 632 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: Petros didn't come on, I was gonna do this anyways. 633 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean we got to fill here. 634 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 10: Uh. 635 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: People for a while thought the Madden curse was real. 636 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: You know, you get on the cover, you either have 637 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: a season ending injury or a down season. Hey Marshall Folk, 638 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: sorry you made the cover and three, but uh, here 639 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: comes microfracture surgery on your knee. I don't know why 640 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: there was a remix there, but you'll never move the 641 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: same again. Michael Vick broke his leg notably in the 642 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: preseason after being on the Madden cover in four, and 643 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: then he got the best skid for dog fighting and 644 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: went to jail and everything. Yeah, I'd say that was 645 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: a Madden curse. I think a couple guys escaped and 646 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: actually had career years, like one of my favorites, Megatron, 647 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson. But the real curse happens in the NFL 648 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: to guy who run for two thousand yards, because afterwards 649 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: they tend to transform to lesser versions of themselves. And 650 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: it may be happening again to Saquon Barkley this time 651 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: and the three and two Eagles. Now, Sakuon Barkley is 652 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: averaging just fifty four yards per game. If you play 653 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: fantasy and you have him, I didn't need to tell 654 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: you that he's getting just three point four yards per carry. 655 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: That's down from almost six from last year. He's on pace, 656 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: not just to miss going for two thousand yards again, 657 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: He's not even on pace for one thousand. At this rate, 658 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: he'll end up with nine hundred and eighteen rushing yards 659 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: if my math is correct, and I think it is 660 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: here this time. Now, he still looked explosive with his cuts. 661 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of moving parts on an NFL 662 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: team and factors and variables outside of your control, like 663 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: an offensive line that's not blocking well enough, and receivers 664 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,479 Speaker 1: maybe talking too much about not getting the ball enough. 665 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised that bar is struggling to this 666 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: degree when you look at the history of guys who 667 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: have run for two thousand yards and what they've done 668 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: that very next season, we got to start with the 669 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: original two thousand yard rusher. I guess that would be O. J. Simpson. 670 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: Now when I think of him, I think of a 671 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: few other things before I get to thinking about him 672 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: being one of the greatest football players ever. I actually 673 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: think of the greatest joke ever told about him by 674 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: Norm MacDonald, who was relentless with his attacks on Weekend 675 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: Update before it was like Colin Quinn? Who is that 676 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: who I was thinking of? Colin Quinn? Was he the 677 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: guy that came in Dennis Miller after him? They could 678 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: not fill his shoes, but he took some very pointed 679 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: shots at OJ rightfully so got away with murder, not 680 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: in the civil trial. Eventually he went to jail for 681 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: something else, but still Norm MacDonald it was like his 682 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: crusade to go after him, continuously calling him a murderer 683 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: because you know he is he was And here was 684 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: probably my favorite joke. And is this the reason I'm 685 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: doing the segment. I wouldn't go that far, but I 686 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: do love this joke by Norm McDonald's and his book. 687 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 11: OJ Simpson says that he would have taken a bullet 688 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 11: or stood in front of a train for Nicole Man. 689 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 11: I'm gonna tell you that has some bad luck when 690 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 11: the one guy who would have died for you kills you. 691 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 11: That's part, if you know, Dann Worse's luck than that. 692 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: Norm McDonald Gone too soon, OJ, not gone soon enough? 693 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: I love that joke. That is an old timer to me, 694 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: but I actually have a tie to Oj Simpson. Don't 695 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: get scared. They're not gonna hear the psycho music or 696 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: anything like that. My family helped him get to USC. 697 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: I had this second cousin named Big V. He worked 698 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: at the community college up in San Francisco where OJ 699 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: was originally running the rock for before he transferred and 700 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: used the portal. They probably didn't have that technology back then. 701 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: Whatever they had, he transferred in from SF to USC 702 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: and I got a second cousin that helped facilitate that. 703 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,760 Speaker 1: And my mom one time was babysitting for Big V. Well, 704 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: guess who called on the phone. It was OJ Simpson. 705 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: He was trying to talk to Big V. And you 706 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: know how I know it was OJ Simpson because he 707 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: said to my mom, do you know who this is? 708 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: This is OJ Simpson, so not only a murderer, a 709 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: d bag who was very much into his fame, but 710 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: he did rush for two thousand yards. He was the 711 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,479 Speaker 1: first to do so back in nineteen seventy three, two 712 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: thousand and three yards to be exact. Well, that very 713 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: next season just eleven hundred yards in fourteen games, so 714 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: took a dip afterwards. Who was next up? Eric Dickerson, 715 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: a great man, Ed, one of my favorites. Worked with 716 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: him on Rogan and Rodney recently on a football Monday. Well, 717 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: he went for two thousand, one hundred and five yards. 718 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: That's the all time record back in nineteen eighty four 719 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: with the goggles and the Jerry curl. Very next season, 720 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: Ed just played fourteen games, got banged up just twelve 721 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: hundred yards. Adrian Peterson, same thing happened to him twenty twelve, 722 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: goes for two k. Twenty thirteen season, Uh just played 723 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: fourteen games, just twelve hundred. Jamal Lewis two thousand yards 724 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three. The next year only 725 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: played twelve games, only had barely one thousand yards. The 726 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: great Barry Sanders did it back in nineteen ninety seven. 727 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: He went for two thousand and fifty three yards. The 728 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: very next season, still respectable, almost fifteen hundred yards, and 729 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: that was his final year in nineteen ninety eight for 730 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. He retired at thirty. Yes, he r 731 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: for fifteen hundred yards at the age of thirty and said, 732 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,439 Speaker 1: I've had enough. Detroit was in, you know, real bad 733 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: franchise hell at the time. Derek Henry went for two 734 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 1: thousand yards back in twenty twenty very next season, only 735 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: played eight games. That might have been a Madden cover 736 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: curse along with the two K curse going on the 737 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: double whammy. He went for under one thousand yards in 738 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: those eight games. Terrell Davis in nineteen ninety eight two 739 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: thousand yards nineteen ninety nine micro fracture surgery was never 740 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: the same, only played in four games. And of course 741 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson at two thousand yards in two thousand and 742 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: nine by far his best season, just thirteen hundred yards 743 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: even in sixteen games in twenty ten. So Saquan maybe 744 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: going through what a lot of these guys went through, 745 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: the two K curse.

I think you want to respond 766 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: to that last segment talking about the two K curse 767 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: with Sakuon Barkley Andrew, what's up? 768 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 2: What's up? What was the name of the running back 769 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 2: for the Cowboys? Murray? He didn't he get two thousand yards? 770 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm wondering how he did after that, But that's your no. 771 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: I went through all the guys that win for two 772 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: thousand yards in their career. Everybody. There was not a 773 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: Cowboy on the list, not Emmett, not herschel Walker. The 774 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: Boys were left off the list in this case, although 775 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: they have had some great, great running backs and quarterbacks 776 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: anything else. 777 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 12: Andrew, Yes. 778 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 2: So my thought is when Squon didn't go for the 779 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 2: record last season, obviously because he didn't want to upset 780 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 2: Eric Dickerson, which is a bad decision in my opinion. 781 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: Well, wait a second, Ed has a case. He had 782 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: to do it in one less game. You know th 783 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: Saquon got an extra game. That doesn't matter. 784 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 2: Well, that doesn't mean you don't get the record. 785 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: You think he should have gone for it. Anyways, it 786 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: was really the Eagles holding him back. If memory serves me, 787 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: well here and it. 788 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: Does, Yeah, well he I think he should have gone 789 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 2: for it. And when you take your foot off the 790 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 2: gas at a point like that, I think it's hanging 791 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 2: over their heads now, but real quick, Kim Skipper, I 792 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: used to live in Fresno, and so when they decided 793 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 2: to fire Kim Skipper, I said, come on, guys, you 794 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 2: know his last name is literally the captain of a boat. 795 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm like, Fresno missed it on this one. 796 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 2: And I did not know that he was with UCLA. 797 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 2: I figured that out listening to your show. 798 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: So thank you, Andrew. I appreciate the phone call. That 799 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: was all Petros Papadakas. I can't take credit for that, 800 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: but yes, interim coach currently for the UCLA Bruins. He's undefeated. 801 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: He's two and l Now, the NFL is undefeated when 802 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: it comes to being King, not even King James, who 803 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: we might get into a little bit later, can step 804 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: to the NFL, and we have the six packs on 805 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: Friday nights. So I want to try something a little 806 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: bit different. Here's kfig is out. You know, there was 807 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: a time before the NFL Sunday ticket where you couldn't 808 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: just pick any game to watch, or it could cheapen 809 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: the experience if you were only watching touchdowns on red zone. 810 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: I guess some people say that now I kind of 811 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: think that's true. It's almost too easy. Y'all are living 812 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 1: in the most privileged era of NFL viewing. You're the 813 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: one percent. I remember being subjected to every forty nine 814 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: Ers game regionally, growing up in NorCal and watching them 815 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: pound another NFC West opponent into oblivion instead of getting 816 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: to watch whatever national game was on Fox. That was 817 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: probably a much better matchup. It was the forty nine Ers, 818 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: just curb stomping the Saints, the Rams, the Cardinals. So 819 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: I say we time travel back to a much simpler time. 820 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: Here travel, let's rank the games from worse to first, 821 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: from least likely to watch to most likely to watch. Like, 822 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 1: what are the must watches for you? You can base 823 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: it on whatever criteria you want. I base it off 824 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: the teams you love or you hate, the time of 825 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: day when the game is being played, who you think sucks, 826 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: who you think's great, Who's good but you can't enjoy 827 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: watching them, Who's bad but you think they're a fun 828 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: team to watch. Let's power rank the matchups for Week 829 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: six of the NFL season. Mark hit me. Now, we 830 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: got two teams with buys, Minnesota and Houston, and one 831 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: game was already played. Saquon Still wasn't able to do 832 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: much on the ground for the Philadelphia Eagles against the 833 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: Giants on Thursday night. Fourteen games left in the National 834 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: Football League, Brie is gonna play along with me, producer 835 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: Brie Brie. So we're going from number fourteen, the game 836 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: we least care about or have the least amount of 837 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 1: interest in, all the way down to one. Number fourteen 838 00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: of my power rankings. Is there because after tonight's late 839 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: night show, I'm I'm not waking up in three hours 840 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: to watch Denver take on the Jets in London. This 841 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be like when I'm asked about going to 842 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: church on Sunday and I'll be like, yeah, I'll meet 843 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,919 Speaker 1: you there. I'll be at the bedside service. I'm going 844 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: to be at the bedside viewing party for that game. 845 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: I'll be fast asleep. I'll be dreaming of a better game. 846 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 1: The Jets are a nightmare and they're staring down one 847 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: or two win season, so whether they're in the States 848 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: or in London, their stench will travel. Brie. What's the 849 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 1: fourteenth or the worst game on the slate of games 850 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: left here for you? 851 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 13: So this truly has nothing to do with your Panthers. 852 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 13: But I think Panthers is like the worst matchup. I mean, 853 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 13: Dallas has the. 854 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: Worst What do you mean that's a good rivalry. They 855 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: played each other twice in the playoffs and the Panthers 856 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: w have beat them both times. 857 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 13: Here, Dallas is the worst defense in the league truly, 858 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 13: and like the Panthers don't have a running game right now. 859 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 13: And Bryce Sang will probably be like knocked out in 860 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 13: the second quarter. I'm sure like any Dalton will come 861 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 13: in or something. 862 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: This was intentional. You were just trying to upset me. 863 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 14: It really wasn't it. Just I have no interest whatsoever. 864 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: Alright, fine, number thirteen in my matchup power rankings, that 865 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: would go to, sorry, Kevin, the Titans at the Raiders. 866 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: If cam Ward thinks the Titans are ass wait till 867 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: he meets the Raiders. That's like Nicki Minaj with those 868 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: butt injections to expand her backside, like the size of 869 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: that booty. That's what this game is going to be. 870 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: Two one in four teams. It's bad. That's number thirteen 871 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: for me. 872 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 13: Brew you actually that's the same one for me. Okay, Yeah, 873 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 13: trash offense is like no one cares. I want the 874 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 13: Raiders to lose. Sorry, Kevin'm so sorry. I feel so bad, 875 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 13: But I just want, like more Pete Carroll versus like 876 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 13: Chip Kelly drama, and I want, like you want infighting, 877 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 13: I do, and I like because there was that report 878 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 13: that came out that Ashon Gente all the offense kind 879 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 13: of surrounding him like Pete Carroll didn't like totally agree with. 880 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 13: So I kind of want drama. I want Tom Brady 881 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 13: to be in the middle. So that's what I'm I'm 882 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 13: going for. 883 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,240 Speaker 1: My twelfth worst or best matchup the Green Bay Packers 884 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: hosting the Bengals who may have a new quarterback and 885 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: they do and Joe Flacco. Oh, we called it, but 886 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: Bree can't bring up that audio for whatever reason and 887 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: play it to prove the fact that we said, like 888 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: a week ago, Joe Flacco might get traded to the Bengals. 889 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,399 Speaker 1: But this should be another double digit loss for Cincinnati 890 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: and my Super Bowl pick with the Packers. They had 891 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 1: a bye last week. They need to trap these Tigers 892 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 1: like they did in the Swiss Family. Robinson, Bree, who's 893 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: your number twelve? 894 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 13: So this one was where I put Broncos at Jets. 895 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 13: Broncos are kind of like the second coming of the Saints. 896 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 13: To me, I got Adam Chautman there, Bo Nix looks 897 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 13: like a young Drew Brees. Will Let's is the kicker, 898 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 13: and the Jets just look like a high school team 899 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,280 Speaker 13: with a bunch of players led by like a varsity 900 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 13: quarterback and justin fields there just it just looks really depressing. 901 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 14: So that's why I put those. 902 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,879 Speaker 1: Two of our games are in similar positions at least 903 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 1: so far. The number eleventh game in my matchup power 904 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: rankings for me Arizona at Indianapolis. They don't even have 905 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. No one was higher on Daniel Jones than 906 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: me coming into the season. Even Danny Dimes had his doubts, 907 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: I'm sure. But Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the 908 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 1: Lost Season happened last week just like I said it would. 909 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: They destroyed the Raiders at home the Colts, and now 910 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 1: they got the Cardinals coming in, and yeah, I think 911 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: the same is about to happen, even though the Cardinals 912 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 1: defense is decent. Bri, You're number eleven. 913 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 14: I have that exact same game. 914 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 13: That's so funny there, I feel like there's issues in 915 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 13: the locker room. Jonathan Gannon was like, Oh, the vibe 916 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 13: is jope as hell, and I think that is just 917 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 13: way too descriptive and. 918 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: As hell that's what he said. That's cringe as hell. 919 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: So I just think you do fellow players. 920 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 13: Oh god, yeah, So I just think that there's issues there. 921 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 13: It's just gonna be really bad. Colts are probably gonna 922 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 13: just like steamroll them. 923 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 1: Number ten in my watchability Power rankings Cleveland at Pittsburgh. 924 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: I actually think we might be underrating how good the 925 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: Steelers might be and underrating how bad the Browns might be. 926 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,439 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh really hasn't even got the running game going yet, 927 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: their defense going. Yet they're still three and one. Dylan Gabriel, 928 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: by the way, he did form well in London for 929 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: the Browns against the Vikings. He was not bad. But 930 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get sacked four or five times 931 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 1: and by halftime they're calling for shaduor Sanders to come in. 932 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: This is not a great game for him or the viewers. Bree, 933 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 1: what's your number ten? 934 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 14: I have Rams at Ravens. 935 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't know that's fair. 936 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, I should be lower, but I feel like there's 937 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,919 Speaker 13: the possibility of an upset, and I'm just always happy 938 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 13: when the Rams lose, and I just you. 939 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 14: Never know, might be a good little Cooper rush game. 940 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 14: Who knows. 941 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: Apparently marked us number nine. They're gonna like this on 942 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: my list of most watchable games. The Saints host the Patriots, 943 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 1: who just got a big victory on Sunday Night Football 944 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Drake May who some are calling Drake 945 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: maybe are now calling him Drake Definitely. I would call 946 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 1: him Drake definitely. 947 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 7: Maybe. 948 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: I still need to see more to believe in him 949 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 1: if he's going to be the successor to Tom Brady 950 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,439 Speaker 1: with New England. But I don't need to see more 951 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: Saints games, So this is number nine for me. Patriots 952 00:49:59,000 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: in New Orleansbury. 953 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 13: I have Bengals at Packers, Joe Flacco passing like a 954 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 13: happy Jamar Chase and T Higgins and Green Bay coming 955 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 13: off a bi week. I think it could be a 956 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,320 Speaker 13: little competitive, really, a little interesting. 957 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: Really, Yes, my Super Bowl Packers. 958 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 7: Now. 959 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 1: I rank this next game number eight on my list. 960 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: This is the Commanders hosting the Bears on Monday Night Football. 961 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 1: The Bears May have won two in a row against 962 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Raiders. Meanwhile, The Commanders just went to 963 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 1: La and got down ten points and then scored twenty 964 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 1: seven unanswered against the Chargers. I think this is a 965 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: mismatch and the lesser of the two Monday night football 966 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: games because the Commanders are just gonna beat up on 967 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: the Bears. That's number eight for me. 968 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,839 Speaker 14: I have Patriots at the Saints here. 969 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm so objective. I thought you were gonna 970 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: have the Saints. Is your number one pick? 971 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 13: Oh, I'm not that crazy. It's a Homer pick totally. 972 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 13: But I think the Saints defense will put a little 973 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 13: bit pressure on Drake May, so I'm excited for that. 974 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 13: I don't know if the Saints are going to win it, 975 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 13: but I think it they'll make the Patriots a little uncomfortable. 976 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: So we're all the way to seven on our matchup 977 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: power rankings for this weekend. In Week six of the 978 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: NFL season, we'll finish these off coming up later in 979 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: the hour.

But before we 1008 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: get to any of that, I got to hear this 1009 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: man speak on it.

But while I'm being a company man 1014 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: and defending first and asking questions later, this is the 1015 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: guy doing the real journalism, all right, Pablo Torre.

Law, thanks for doing. 1024 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 7: This, Hey, thanks for having me Law. 1025 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 1: I think we got to start with it, but I 1026 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 1: will get to a story later as well as people 1027 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: keep asking me about it. The Clippers, Are they guilty? Adam? 1028 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: What's going on with the investigation? Adam Like, how long 1029 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,479 Speaker 1: do you think that the NBA is going to take 1030 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,319 Speaker 1: with this, and what's the most likely outcome in your 1031 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 1: mind given the information we have so far with this 1032 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 1: aspiration cap circumvention investigation going on. 1033 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's it's complicated. And when this first came about 1034 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 12: and we knew what was happening, I was like, Okay, 1035 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 12: I think that the NBA would want to have a 1036 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,720 Speaker 12: resolution before the regular season began. But as more layers 1037 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 12: of the onion get unpeeled here and in September, it 1038 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 12: felt like something new on a weekly basis, and then 1039 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 12: the NBA launches their investigation and it's four names of 1040 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 12: a law firm that I'm not looking at right now, 1041 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 12: Like you understand that, Okay, weeks having to be decided 1042 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 12: in a matter of weeks would be optimistic because it's 1043 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 12: not clear to cut. This isn't Donald Sterling on tape 1044 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 12: and getting the tape from DEAMZ or whatever it was 1045 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,799 Speaker 12: back in the spring of twenty fourteen, you know, And 1046 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 12: so you take as long as you need to take 1047 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 12: to have a thorough investigation one that everyone is already 1048 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,720 Speaker 12: going to be cynical about as far as how thorough 1049 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 12: they want it to be. I mean, that's just the reality. 1050 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,280 Speaker 12: The league hasn't always been transparent about how they conduct 1051 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 12: their investigations or even what they share at the conclusion 1052 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 12: of those investigations. And because this is something that is 1053 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 12: going to affect not just an owner but one of 1054 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 12: the more influential owners in the NBA, I have my 1055 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 12: cynicisms about what the actual publishment will be and what 1056 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 12: the penalties will be. So I think this will take months. 1057 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 12: I don't think this will be a whole season thing. 1058 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 12: I think there will be questions as to why it 1059 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 12: would last that long, and those questions might peak in 1060 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 12: February when into a doveom is hosting All Star Weekend. 1061 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 12: I don't think the NBA should be trying to do that. 1062 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 12: I think that they should be trying to get this 1063 00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 12: done in a reasonable timeframe. But I just throw to 1064 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 12: see what the penalties would be that would both hurt 1065 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 12: the Clippers as well as not have the Clippers ownership 1066 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,399 Speaker 12: kind of go back to the other owners and say, 1067 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,399 Speaker 12: all right, you all open up Pandora's box. So that's 1068 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 12: a long way to saying I just feel like the 1069 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 12: penalties are going to be unsatisfactory for everybody involved. 1070 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: Can you speak to that dynamic a little bit more, 1071 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: because it's interesting when you have the commissioner who works 1072 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: for the owners but also is levying punishment possibly against 1073 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,919 Speaker 1: an owner here. Does a lot of this come down 1074 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,400 Speaker 1: to just how the other owners feel about Steve Balmer? 1075 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 12: Well, there's another party that is I feel like more 1076 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 12: significant here, and that is a system arbitrator. So the 1077 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 12: NBA is conducting this investigation and they will presumably talk 1078 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 12: to whoever they need to talk to in order to 1079 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,360 Speaker 12: come to the conclusion that they will get to. But 1080 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,359 Speaker 12: once they do that, it's not Adam Silver time just yet. 1081 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 12: It still goes to a third party system arbitrator, and 1082 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 12: from there, whoever that person winds up being, they will 1083 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 12: suggest whatever it's supposed to happen, and then it's up 1084 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 12: to Adam Silver to administer what he's going to do 1085 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 12: from there. So I believe I have that writer and 1086 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 12: if that's the case, that just adds to the complication here, 1087 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 12: and it also kind of outlines the biggest deal for me, 1088 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 12: and that is this is not going to be something 1089 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 12: that is adjudicated by public opinion, Like that's really what 1090 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 12: we've been seeing over the last month or so. We're 1091 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 12: seeing a lot of this is what should happen, and 1092 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 12: this is what I believe is happening based off of 1093 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 12: what I'm seeing, and and there's a lot of that, 1094 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 12: and that's just besides exhausting, it gets to a point 1095 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 12: where the relevance of that pales in comparison of what 1096 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 12: actually will happen. So, I mean, Adam Silver, yes, like 1097 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 12: he has to consider what the other owners are going 1098 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 12: to say. I mean, the owners have a history of 1099 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 12: having a lot to say publicly and going to their 1100 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 12: sources and expressing one emotion while also having a little 1101 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,919 Speaker 12: bit in the reservoir to say, don't go too far 1102 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 12: in because we don't want y'all to go and look 1103 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 12: at what's happening with us, et cetera. So it is 1104 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 12: going to be very complicated, and I just feel like 1105 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 12: the most important part of this story is yet to come. 1106 00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 12: Like there's going to be significant fallout either way from 1107 00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 12: this investigation, but which direction that fallout live is something 1108 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 12: that I don't think anyone can can really say that 1109 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,120 Speaker 12: they have a good idea, How will. 1110 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: Land just you We'll get in some more of this 1111 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: coming up in the next hour. I'm out of Maslin. 1112 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, and our guest here 1113 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: is Law Murray of the Athletic Law Before we go 1114 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 1: more national elsewhere in La Lebron has a sciatica injury 1115 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: and could be out till when December. Does anybody have 1116 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: any idea? It sounds like Luka Doncic is already getting 1117 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: set to play without him knowing that, Hey, this could 1118 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: put him at the top of the MVP rankings as well, 1119 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: because he has a real shot to lead this team 1120 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: and they're going to have to get by without Lebron 1121 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: for some time. But is that time nebulous right now? 1122 00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 12: I think that it's very tricky to kind of put 1123 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 12: a date on when Lebron would come back. I mean, ideally, 1124 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 12: ideally a three week reevaluation. Let's just say, in the 1125 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 12: best case scenario, the evaluation goes great, feeling absolutely like 1126 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 12: healed in the matter of three weeks, and then he 1127 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 12: plays before in the last game of the month of October. 1128 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 12: That is obviously incredibly optimistic. I think it would be 1129 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 12: optimistic if Lebron was ten years younger, Billy. I think 1130 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 12: the date that I have circled to see exactly where 1131 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 12: we are with this is I think the Lakers have 1132 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 12: a five game road trip in November. I think the 1133 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,560 Speaker 12: second week of November that takes them to the other 1134 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 12: side of the country, and they have a couple of 1135 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 12: days before they start that to start playing the games 1136 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 12: of that trip. I think that's after the Lakers would 1137 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 12: miss the first nine games of the season with that 1138 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 12: started Lebron not being there, and if the if there's 1139 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 12: real improvement in his condition, then perhaps he debuts on 1140 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 12: that road trip or can join them. But sciatica is 1141 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 12: a very very challenging and stricky and unpredictable and possibly 1142 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 12: recurring issue. You know, the fact that he's dealing with 1143 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 12: this now when he hasn't been playing high stakes basketball 1144 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 12: since April, I mean, it's it's we're in October, you know, 1145 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 12: he's at May, June, July, August, September, five complete months 1146 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 12: where the Lakers haven't played. Lebron ended last year the 1147 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 12: Timberwol Series Game five with a springed NCL, so he 1148 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 12: had to get over that injury, and then this injury 1149 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 12: develops over the offseason. I think the bigger issue with 1150 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 12: Lebron isn't necessarily when he goes back, but how much 1151 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 12: basketball and at the level will he be able to 1152 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 12: play with Father Time undefeated, Like that's that's the reality here. 1153 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 12: Lebron coming back will be a huge moment, But the 1154 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 12: Lakers are a team trying to do something with this 1155 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 12: season and with this roster, and Lebron's coming back is 1156 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 12: just going to start the next clock towards when is 1157 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 12: the next thing want to pop up that keeps him 1158 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 12: out again? 1159 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to discuss this a little bit later on, 1160 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 1: but the situation in Milwaukee, let me just ask you this. 1161 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 1: If I put the over under on seasons left for 1162 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,240 Speaker 1: Yannis in Milwaukee and I put it at a season 1163 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and a half, are you going under? Is it a 1164 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: matter of time that he's no longer a Buck at 1165 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: this point? 1166 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm definitely going under. Like this is not the 1167 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 12: roster that Giannis is ideally suited to, you know, contend 1168 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 12: with like he's had better rosters and a lot of it. 1169 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 12: You know, it's just a matter of bad luck. Like 1170 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 12: the Bucks haven't exactly had a postseason where they've been 1171 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 12: punching at full strength. You know, they won their championship 1172 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 12: in twenty twenty one, and even then they were very 1173 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 12: close to Yanis not being able to play in the 1174 01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 12: NBA finals. If that right, if that religion in the 1175 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 12: Eastern Conference finals was an enter too deeper, you know, 1176 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 12: So what Giannis was able to do was perroic, miraculous 1177 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 12: and legendary. And every postseason since the Malkee Bucks have 1178 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 12: been eliminated with one of their top three players not 1179 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 12: being able to either complete the playoffs or not be 1180 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 12: in the playoffs at all. Right, it started with Chris 1181 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 12: Middleton in twenty twenty two, and then in twenty twenty three, 1182 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 12: Jannis he gets hurt, and then in twenty twenty four, 1183 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 12: Janis this is the entire postseason while Davian Lillard misses a 1184 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,520 Speaker 12: couple of games, and then we all saw what happened 1185 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 12: last year with Dane coming back from the DVT justice 1186 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 12: Terior's achilles. It's been a mess. And this Bucks team 1187 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 12: does not have a Damian Lillard. They don't have a 1188 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 12: Drew Holliday, they don't have a Chris Middleton, they don't 1189 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 12: even have a Brook Loss. You know, this is the 1190 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 12: Bucks team where Giannis might be in position to do 1191 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 12: some crazy stuff individually, but he's also going to work 1192 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 12: really hard because his point guard is Kevin Porter Junior, 1193 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 12: and probably the next most accomplished starter that he's sharing 1194 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 12: the lineup with is Miles Turner or Kyle Kusman, depending 1195 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 12: on how much you care about the Lakers championship. That 1196 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,000 Speaker 12: Kuzma one like it. It's pretty much a mix to 1197 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 12: makes you say I've done this. I'm on the other 1198 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 12: side of thirty. I've done all I could for this franchise, 1199 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 12: and it's time for me to take control of our 1200 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 12: situation now. 1201 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 1: The reports were law that apparently back in August he 1202 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,640 Speaker 1: was zeroing in and I guess checking off the box 1203 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 1: of the Knicks would be a team he would go to, 1204 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 1: he'd be willing to go to. Is it trade with 1205 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:48,040 Speaker 1: the Knicks even likely or plausible, remotely realistic considering they 1206 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: don't have the picks right now? 1207 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 12: I mean, it's more than just the picks, Like Michel 1208 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 12: Bridges is first of all one of the biggest reasons 1209 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 12: that they don't have picks, and then they just extended 1210 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 12: mikel Bridges. I think this is a huge and I'm 1211 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 12: surety sure you didn't ask me this to have on 1212 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 12: Michel Bridges conversation. But Michel Bridges is a very crismical 1213 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 12: figure in the NBA this season, Like, for one, I 1214 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 12: think he was probably the biggest reason why the New 1215 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 12: York Knicks changed coaches. Like MIKEL Bridges is an iron 1216 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 12: man and Tom Tibudeau is the type that well iron. 1217 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 12: They say iron sharpens iron, but it was going to 1218 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 12: get dull if Bridges and kids were together. And so 1219 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 12: I feel like mckel Bridges needs to be in a 1220 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 12: situation where he is worth the deal that he just 1221 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 12: agreed to and work the deal that the Knicks made 1222 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 12: to acquire him in the first place. And I think 1223 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 12: Mike Brown a guy who you know he's going to 1224 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 12: need to find a way to do something different with 1225 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 12: that offense, especially if Josh Hart doesn't start. I think 1226 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 12: Michel Bridges is in line to touch the ball a 1227 01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 12: lot more simple as that, like someone else has to 1228 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 12: do things with the basketball besides Jalen Brunson. And so 1229 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 12: I feel like because Michael Bridges has been valued by 1230 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 12: the Knicks as highly as he has, that definitely is 1231 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 12: a big factor and restricting what the Knicks could send 1232 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 12: to the Bucks the Bucks don't have a lot of leverage, 1233 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,720 Speaker 12: but I mean that's enough to say the Bucks are 1234 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 12: just going to give him away. 1235 01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 1: So is there another team that hasn't been talked about 1236 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: that you'd look at. 1237 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 12: I'm terrible when it comes to trades. I am notoriously 1238 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,880 Speaker 12: conservative when it comes to just and I wish I 1239 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,439 Speaker 12: had a better word being conservative, but you know, it's 1240 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 12: all I got right now. This is this is one 1241 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 12: of those things where Jannis is a really good player, 1242 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 12: but you got to really think about the fit for 1243 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 12: a lot of these teams, like brook Lopez is the 1244 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 12: only center that Giannis and been at. Kuombo has ever 1245 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 12: won a playoff series with the only one in his 1246 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 12: entire Bucks career, and it's because he's a unique player 1247 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 12: who can play inside and outside, but especially you know, 1248 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 12: his ability to shoot while not sacrificing sides allows Giannis 1249 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 12: to do everything that he does inside of the repoint line. 1250 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 12: That's N's biggest weakness. That's why it's it was critical 1251 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,080 Speaker 12: the Bums are gonna, you know, have all this money 1252 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,919 Speaker 12: that they're losing in the Damian Lillard transaction to get 1253 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 12: him off the team. Miles Turner is actually a really 1254 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 12: good fit for Honest. That's that's that's uh, that's something 1255 01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,040 Speaker 12: where it places. Well, you don't have to change that dynamic. 1256 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,120 Speaker 12: There's not a lot of NBA teams that can say that, 1257 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 12: And so I think the thing that you'd have to 1258 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 12: do if you're gonna start trying to figure out who 1259 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 12: could use it gi Honest, I think you got to 1260 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 12: start thinking, well, what's a team that has a legitimate 1261 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 12: stretch five who could play next to Giannish And as 1262 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,120 Speaker 12: the Honest gets older, he probably don't have to play 1263 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 12: more center anyway. Uh, just on principle. So I don't 1264 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 12: have a team right now. The league changes way too 1265 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 12: much for that. Again, look at the Bucks offseason. The 1266 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 12: Bucks probably had one of the most outrageous offseasons that 1267 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 12: anybody could predict when the railar season ended. But if 1268 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 12: you look at the next team, I don't know if 1269 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 12: Gianna sees it that way, but I think it has 1270 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 12: to make basketball sense. I can't say this enough. Yanis 1271 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,080 Speaker 12: is only one with one head coach and he's only 1272 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,800 Speaker 12: won next to one center in the NBA. So if 1273 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 12: this had to work for the purpose of trying to 1274 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 12: win a championship, the pieces around him Yadis is not 1275 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 12: as plugged in play as some of these other first 1276 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:42,679 Speaker 12: team guys in the NBA. 1277 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Lot Murray's our guest here on Fox Sports Radio LODGST 1278 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,760 Speaker 1: a couple more for you. Did anything surprise you in 1279 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: the latest GM survey that had the Thunder repeating his 1280 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 1: champions Nikole Joki's winning MVP. Was there anything that stood 1281 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 1: out to you in the annual GM survey? 1282 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:03,679 Speaker 12: I would say that because it's the same thirty guys 1283 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 12: making this elections here, I'm just always amused when they 1284 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 12: just put one guy in multiple positions, you know, I mean, 1285 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,800 Speaker 12: it outlines how people see the game. But it was 1286 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 12: kind of hilarious to see Luka Donkevich at point guard, 1287 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 12: shooting guard and small for I mean, help throw him 1288 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,559 Speaker 12: out there at power forward too. I mean, he might 1289 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 12: not be as big as one now, but you might 1290 01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 12: as well. You know, that's who he's going to be guarding, 1291 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 12: ideally essentially with Lebron Nowt. But no, I think the 1292 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 12: GMS seemed to really like the Atlanta Hawks, and that 1293 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 12: is something as far as they're all season live, and 1294 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,599 Speaker 12: that's something that I'm going to come back to in 1295 01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 12: April because when awards are voted on the media doesn't 1296 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 12: do Executive of the Year. That is a peer voted award. 1297 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 12: The other NBA executives picked that award. So that's something 1298 01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 12: that I kind of always circle and the GMS they 1299 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 12: really like what the Hawks did. And the Hawks have 1300 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,639 Speaker 12: an interesting really everything's interesting, not just on the court 1301 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 12: with how these guys will fit. They have perss Zing 1302 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 12: if they have Luke and Nark, they have Nikuileg Sanda Walker. 1303 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 12: Now they obviously made a draft trade that people are 1304 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:27,559 Speaker 12: very upset about the what happens with the Pelicans. They're like, 1305 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 12: what are you doing, you know, valuing Derrick Queen to 1306 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,240 Speaker 12: the point where you might find a lottery pick. But 1307 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 12: the other side of that is Atlanta trading down and 1308 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 12: possibly benefiting from that transaction. But I think the biggest, single, 1309 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 12: biggest thing that I'm exsuing with the Atlanta Hawks would 1310 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 12: happen in trade Young And that is something we're front 1311 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 12: office has to make decision too. It's like, if you 1312 01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 12: don't extend him, then are you signaling that he might 1313 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 12: be available? And when might he be available? Would you 1314 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 12: do something in mid season? Would you try and get 1315 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 12: some value form after the and would you trying to 1316 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,439 Speaker 12: get to a new contract with them. I think Atlanta 1317 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,919 Speaker 12: is going to be very interesting, and it's also interesting 1318 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 12: that the other GM's are they're praising Atlanta before this 1319 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 12: season begins. 1320 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 1: Last one for you here in Law, I need your 1321 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 1: top three teams in each conference. I need to know, 1322 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 1: as we're just about a week out from the NBA 1323 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,840 Speaker 1: kicking or tipping off here, who your inner circle of 1324 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 1: contenders are. Give me your top three in the East. 1325 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 12: This is the question that I will feel a lot 1326 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 12: better about next week when I actually like crack open 1327 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 12: the sheets. But I will give you, I will humor 1328 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 12: you here. Top three in the East. I will go 1329 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 12: with New York, Cleveland and the Orlando Magic. 1330 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,400 Speaker 1: Ooh, I like that Desmond beIN that big of a 1331 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:50,760 Speaker 1: move this summer for them. 1332 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it better be. They can't be worth 1333 01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 12: shooting the three ball. 1334 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And with all the Achilles injuries going on in 1335 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, it makes sense to put them there. 1336 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: I think I have them there as well. What about 1337 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: the Western Commerce Yeah, the Western Conference. 1338 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 12: Again, this is something that I will feel better about 1339 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 12: next week, which means I'll say this now, but don't 1340 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:12,560 Speaker 12: help me to it. 1341 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: That's cool. 1342 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 12: But I'll just say, for mistake of it, Oklahoma City, 1343 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 12: Minnesota and. 1344 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 1: Denver, Okay. So not Houston in there, not the Clippers 1345 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: in there, Not the Lakers in there. 1346 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 12: Definitely definitely not Houston. Definitely not the Lakers. The Clippers, 1347 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:36,759 Speaker 12: I want to like, I have never covered a Tehran 1348 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 12: lu coach top three seed, and I know the Clippers are. 1349 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 12: I will tell you this, they absolutely are motivated to 1350 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 12: go for it. They have every reason to go for it. 1351 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,840 Speaker 12: I think the guys that were on that team last year, 1352 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 12: they understood how hard they had to work just to 1353 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,599 Speaker 12: stay out the Players Tournament, and as good as they, 1354 01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,000 Speaker 12: you know, as well as they performed to end the 1355 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 12: regular season, they didn't have enough gas in the tank 1356 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 12: to win a playoff series against a team that honestly 1357 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 12: they could have beaten. It was a very even matchup. 1358 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,479 Speaker 12: It was going to be a very difficult series. It 1359 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 12: was a coin clip series. That's exactly what it was. 1360 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 12: As let's praise as Denver gets for taking okay See 1361 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 12: to seven, even though okay See absolutely obliterated them in 1362 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 12: multiple games in that series. You could say the same 1363 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 12: thing about the Clippers in Denver in that series. It 1364 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 12: could have gone either way, right down to how their 1365 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 12: regular seasons turned out, because one or two things fall 1366 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 12: differently in their regular seasons, and the Clippers are hosting 1367 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,640 Speaker 12: that Game seven instead of Denver, so the webs is 1368 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,439 Speaker 12: very bunched up. I do not feel good about anything 1369 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 12: I just told you just now, But a week from now, 1370 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 12: I will feel great about everything I told you just now. 1371 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,000 Speaker 12: I will hold myself to it. For the rest of 1372 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,719 Speaker 12: the regular season, we'll be looking. 1373 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: For that piece on the Athletic at LA Murray the 1374 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,599 Speaker 1: nu he does right for the athletic, does it nationally 1375 01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,799 Speaker 1: and also locally in Los Angeles where I am currently at. 1376 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,639 Speaker 1: He covers the Clippers, and we're lucky to have him. Law, 1377 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 1: thanks so much for doing this tonight here on Fox 1378 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,000 Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

In our matchup power rankings. 1385 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,639 Speaker 1: We'll finish that off top of next hour. But up next, 1386 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,680 Speaker 1: I do want to go Cisco and Ebert with it. 1387 01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 1: I got a movie review for you. Pt Anderson's latest 1388 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 1: kind of a Big Deal, one Battle after another. Does 1389 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 1: it rank in his top five movies? I mean he's 1390 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 1: at like ten. Now I'll tell you next. I'm out 1391 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,759 Speaker 1: of Mosland and you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome 1392 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,640 Speaker 1: back in. It's Fox Football Sunday. I'm out of Mosland, 1393 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 1: Adam Ashland. It's Osland, Ben one of these days. No, 1394 01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: we're boys now, mean I'm cool like that, not Tom Petty, cool, 1395 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,840 Speaker 1: but cool enough. Coming up next we'll get back into 1396 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: our week six matchup power rankings. But Brie, give me 1397 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,600 Speaker 1: my music. Come on, all right. I gotta say I 1398 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 1: don't often go to the movies anymore, but when I 1399 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 1: do is to see something from one of these five directors. 1400 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:26,599 Speaker 1: That means, in no particular order, Tarantino, David Fincher, Denny 1401 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 1: Villanov something the French guy did the Dune movies. He's 1402 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 1: done a lot of good stuff, Sacario Arrival, Christopher Nolan, 1403 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:40,120 Speaker 1: of course, and pt Anderson. These are the five best 1404 01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 1: living directors still on top of their game. Spielberg has 1405 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,679 Speaker 1: washed Tim Burton, James Cameron, Avatar, The Way of Water 1406 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,560 Speaker 1: is right, He's washed Ridley Scott, Francis Ford, Martin Scorsese. 1407 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't even think Wes Anderson is nearly as good 1408 01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 1: as he was in his first four films. His old 1409 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: writing partner, Noah Bombback, has passed him by. So I'm 1410 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 1: a film snot. There's the introduction. I'm the critic from 1411 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,880 Speaker 1: that cartoon in the nineties that was a spin off 1412 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 1: of The Simpsons. I'm an overly critical ahole. Why be 1413 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 1: in this business if you aren't critical and if you 1414 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,960 Speaker 1: don't have strong opinions. I actually used to be much worse, 1415 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,920 Speaker 1: Like late two thousands, Adam was a menace. I was 1416 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 1: told a director to his face, what's wrong with his movie? 1417 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: I just saw a screening of it. I was right too, 1418 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,360 Speaker 1: the Mark Peas experiment from two thousand and nine. Check 1419 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,719 Speaker 1: that out on IMDb. It's got like a rating of four. 1420 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 1: I told that guy he should have listened to me 1421 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,200 Speaker 1: and fixed it before it actually went mainstream because it 1422 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: didn't do well in the theaters. But I'm not gonna 1423 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 1: complain too much about pt Anderson's latest called One Battle 1424 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 1: after another spoiler free review. I did try to avoid 1425 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: all of the trailers myself and teasers for the movie, 1426 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 1: because when it's a movie I know I want to 1427 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,640 Speaker 1: see based off the director, I prefer not seeing a 1428 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 1: movie or a preview for that movie beforehand. I don't 1429 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 1: want to see all the scenes out of order in 1430 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: a montage fashion. I would rather just watch the thing 1431 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 1: as it was meant to be seen, from start to finish. 1432 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: So I will treat you how I would like to 1433 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 1: be treated, with no discernible spoilers. One battle after another. 1434 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: Is PT's most mainstream, easily digestible, audience friendly flick that 1435 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:25,479 Speaker 1: will be a crowd pleaser, and is it's doing pretty 1436 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,759 Speaker 1: damn well out there even for non pt Anderson fans, 1437 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 1: like if you don't love Magnolia or some of his 1438 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,000 Speaker 1: out there stuff Boogie Knights, like some of the subject 1439 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 1: matter could be challenging here, with revolutionaries and the state 1440 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,040 Speaker 1: of American politics currently. In the first half hour did 1441 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: make me feel like it was leaning towards one side 1442 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 1: of the aisle, but after that it felt more like 1443 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 1: a Tarantino movie on steroids, with hilarious moments, with some 1444 01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:56,479 Speaker 1: equally dramatic ones at the same time. It wasn't too preachy, 1445 01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't it was enjoyable. To me, it felt like 1446 01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,120 Speaker 1: t Anderson was trying to out Tarantino. Tarantino with his 1447 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:08,839 Speaker 1: stylistic choices, just amplified them, and they kind of packaged 1448 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 1: it in a more wider net appeal type of way. 1449 01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:16,000 Speaker 1: He's never done a movie with this type of budget before. 1450 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,640 Speaker 1: This is a blockbuster, it's two hundred million dollar movie, 1451 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,800 Speaker 1: but it still has some raw stuff in it. It 1452 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 1: can be very graphic, can keep you feeling like a 1453 01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: lot of it is just one shot, running gun type 1454 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 1: indie filmmaking, but it's pacing is very pleasing to the 1455 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 1: viewer as it just keeps on moving and you're just 1456 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,840 Speaker 1: along for the ride. It's satirical and genuinely funny and 1457 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:42,000 Speaker 1: really smart ways. Leo is like the Sun of the 1458 01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: Big Lebowski. 1459 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, well you know, that's just like. 1460 01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, both those. He's a burnout stoner with a very 1461 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 1: checkered past, but his performance is great. The DiCaprio is 1462 01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: always great, so Sean Penn, Venicio del Toro. They're all 1463 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: on top of their game. They feel natural and perfectly casted. 1464 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,759 Speaker 1: By pt Anderson. The action is also breathtaking at times. 1465 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: I had never seen a car chase like you get 1466 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 1: in this. It's almost mad Max x ESQ Like. It 1467 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 1: has that feel to it Tarantino. It's that type of 1468 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: thing with the action scenes beautifully done, shot edited. It's 1469 01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 1: going to be up for Best Picture and I wouldn't 1470 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,320 Speaker 1: be shocked if it wins. So if you want to 1471 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 1: be entertained for three hours where it doesn't feel like 1472 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 1: that at all and it's not FNA or double A here, 1473 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 1: this is another good choice for you. I highly recommend 1474 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 1: pt Anderson's new movie. And that's one battle after another 1475 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,599 Speaker 1: and it's easily digestible. You're going to enjoy it. Up 1476 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 1: next back to the NFL, you'll enjoy this. We got 1477 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: seven more to get to in our matchup power rankings 1478 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:54,679 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. 1479 01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,040 Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 1480 01:19:59,400 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 7: Welcome back. 1481 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: It's Fox Football Sunday. I'm Adam A, Adam oslind double 1482 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 1: A whatever you want to call me except this Adam 1483 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:12,040 Speaker 1: Ashlen osland Lund. Why do I have credit cards that 1484 01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 1: say an D like I'm from the Land of Oz? 1485 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,559 Speaker 1: Coming up still, I'm gonna tell you about Adam Silver 1486 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,760 Speaker 1: and who he is as a commissioner and what that 1487 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,680 Speaker 1: means for the Clippers in this investigation going on for 1488 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 1: cap circumvention. But first, we do need to get back 1489 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 1: to our little showdown here between me and bre Brie, 1490 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 1: as we have seven more games to go through in 1491 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:41,120 Speaker 1: our matchup power rankings for Week six of this NFL season. 1492 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,679 Speaker 12: This is the game that people are gonna talk about 1493 01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:44,559 Speaker 12: for years to come. 1494 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,639 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but my number seven best 1495 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,360 Speaker 1: game to watch this weekend. Some people are gonna accuse 1496 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 1: me of this being too high on the list, but 1497 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,719 Speaker 1: that just means you're an NFL casual. If you don't 1498 01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 1: know your history here like Bri, you should know this 1499 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:07,160 Speaker 1: is an underrated rivalry and I expect another good game 1500 01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 1: between the Panthers and the Dallas Cowboys. Panthers are hosting them. Yes, 1501 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,439 Speaker 1: Dallas is a twelve and five record against the Panthers 1502 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: all time, but again, my Panthers have beaten them twice 1503 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,320 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So this is number seven of the 1504 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:24,639 Speaker 1: games that I'm interested in. 1505 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:28,640 Speaker 13: Bri, what you got, I got Brown's ad Steelers. I 1506 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,720 Speaker 13: want Pittsburgh to roll over Cleveland and maybe see like 1507 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 13: a shador Sanders, so that we could just put all 1508 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 13: that narrative to bed and just be done with that. 1509 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 1: Wait, you think he's gonna be really bad and that 1510 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,400 Speaker 1: will kill everyone's excitement for Schaduer. 1511 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:45,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, but I don't know, you know, Schottenfreuter just a 1512 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:46,160 Speaker 13: little bit. 1513 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 1: What a hater? Bree lit that height out all right, 1514 01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,639 Speaker 1: But I kind of like it. We're moving at number 1515 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 1: six in the matchup power rankings. This is also about 1516 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, paying respects or respect to the past. In 1517 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:06,679 Speaker 1: a traditional rivalry year, it's the Chargers in Miami taken 1518 01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. You might remember the It's actually called 1519 01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,679 Speaker 1: this Epic in Miami, a playoff game between these two teams, 1520 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,879 Speaker 1: and it's maybe the greatest game ever played with seventy 1521 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 1: nine points combined back in the eighties. This will not 1522 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 1: be that, but I think it could be competitive in 1523 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 1: a fun watch. I do, even though, Yeah, the Chargers 1524 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 1: are reeling, half their offensive line is gone and the 1525 01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Dolphins have one victory. Mike McDaniel, bad boy Rick moranis 1526 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,439 Speaker 1: is hanging on to his job by a thread right now. 1527 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: It could be troublesome for him, but I still have 1528 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 1: this as my sixth most interesting game to watch, Bree 1529 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 1: what's number six for you? 1530 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,760 Speaker 13: I have Bears at Commanders, just because last year's Hail 1531 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 13: Mary game was like super memorable, kind of a little 1532 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:56,919 Speaker 13: bit of a shootout. 1533 01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 1: The Bears are coming umber. It was so memorable. I 1534 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: have no idea what you're talking about. 1535 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 13: I mean, it was a really low scoring game, but 1536 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 13: it was still like interesting. And like I said, the 1537 01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,840 Speaker 13: Hail Mary was super was really exciting. The Bears are 1538 01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:09,800 Speaker 13: coming off of bye I think it's a good chance 1539 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 13: for them to get up back on track. I'm actually 1540 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 13: rooting for the Bears in this one, so I think 1541 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 13: that's gonna be interesting. 1542 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 1: A Bear sympathizer, but a Shoulder Sanders hater. That's Breebery. 1543 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:23,000 Speaker 1: Here to the top five in our NFL matchup power 1544 01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: rankings for Week six. Number five for me, I got 1545 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo in Atlanta. Well, the Falcons have been very up 1546 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,760 Speaker 1: and down. Both their victories have come at home, and 1547 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 1: the Bills just lost for the first time to the 1548 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Patriots at home. I want to see how they respond 1549 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 1: as their run defense is not great and Jehan Robinson 1550 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,800 Speaker 1: could be getting loose and this could be a very 1551 01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:50,200 Speaker 1: entertaining contest, Brie, what's in your top five? What's number 1552 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:50,680 Speaker 1: five for you? 1553 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 7: Here? 1554 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 13: I have Chargers at Dolphins, and I think it's kind 1555 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,120 Speaker 13: of a Yeah, it's kind of like a chaos matchup. 1556 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 13: I think the Dolphins are either going to rally or 1557 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 13: the Chargers that have a chance to get back on track. 1558 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,959 Speaker 1: Or charger or Chargers chargering. 1559 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 13: That's also kind I feel like that just seems like 1560 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 13: a very chargerish game for me, Like the Dolphins are 1561 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 13: just gonna kind of kind of come out all like rolling, 1562 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:13,760 Speaker 13: so we'll see it. 1563 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,679 Speaker 1: I mean, they're desperate. A wounded animal is a desperate one. 1564 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 1: Even a cute Dolphins, both of them are kind of. 1565 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 14: That's very sure. 1566 01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Number four in my best matchup in the NFL Power 1567 01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Rankings for this week. I like the forty nine ers 1568 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:32,080 Speaker 1: on the road in Tampa. I remember Jeff Garcia, who 1569 01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 1: was like a glorified backup being a starter for the 1570 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,960 Speaker 1: Niners back in the day, losing thirty one to six 1571 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 1: in the playoffs to a Bucks team that would go 1572 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,679 Speaker 1: on to win the Super Bowl. Back in two thousand 1573 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 1: and three, they were playing Kevin Traiders, and I'm interested 1574 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:52,000 Speaker 1: to see if their latest actual backup in Maca, Jones 1575 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 1: can outduel the guy who should be the front runner 1576 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 1: for MVP right now in Baker Mayfield. He has been 1577 01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 1: that good. Niners going to t Tampa number four, fourth 1578 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: best matchup for me, Bree, what's say you? 1579 01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 13: I have Bills at Falcons here, and I because I 1580 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,479 Speaker 13: think the Falcons are going to lose, and that's just 1581 01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 13: really good for me in the NFC South, and I 1582 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 13: could kind of see like an offensive shit. 1583 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 1: Just not going to affect your Saints. It does not 1584 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 1: matter whatsoever you're not contending in the South. 1585 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 14: You just never know. 1586 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 13: Okay, the Bills are ten and two when they're playing 1587 01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 13: a road game following a loss, and it just seems 1588 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 13: like a really good stat So that's what I'm going 1589 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:27,719 Speaker 13: for here. 1590 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 12: All right. 1591 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:32,160 Speaker 1: Number three for me, you had this lower or higher 1592 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,720 Speaker 1: depending on how you look at it. But I know 1593 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's not playing, and I know it could get 1594 01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 1: really ugly for Baltimore, but this is their last stand. 1595 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,880 Speaker 1: I want to see if the Ravens show any fight 1596 01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:51,920 Speaker 1: against the Rams at home? Yeah, show something. What's that 1597 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 1: meme the stick figure with the state, Do something something, please, Baltimore? 1598 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,120 Speaker 1: How about run the ball? A little bit more. You 1599 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:04,759 Speaker 1: don't have Lamar Cooper Rushings at quarterback. I like seeing 1600 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,200 Speaker 1: teams with their backs against the wall with everything to 1601 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,839 Speaker 1: play for because their season could be on the line. 1602 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: More on that coming up. Who's number three for you? 1603 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 13: I have Seahawks at Jags. Jags are looking to go 1604 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:18,880 Speaker 13: five and one for the first time in like twenty 1605 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,600 Speaker 13: six years. It looks like Sam Darnold. I feel like, 1606 01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 13: you know, he has a chance to kind of like 1607 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 13: just kind of puff out his chests a little bit. Also, 1608 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 13: Trevor Lawrence has that opportunity to, so I feel like 1609 01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:29,920 Speaker 13: just kind of like a matchup of the QBS of 1610 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,000 Speaker 13: who's gonna look better. 1611 01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 1: Trevor will puff out his hair, He'll hit it hard 1612 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 1: with the blow drive beforehand. Yeah, fabio over there. This 1613 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 1: is my number two when it comes to matchups and 1614 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 1: power rankings. That would be yes, the Jags who are 1615 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:47,360 Speaker 1: at home against the Seahawks. I wondered if the Jags 1616 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 1: could legitimize themselves in that Monday night game against Kansas City. 1617 01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 1: They did. They made believers out of everyone, even though 1618 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,599 Speaker 1: it was like the most awkward and clumsiest game winning 1619 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:03,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns ever. Trevor Lawrence just stumbling into the endze end 1620 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 1: zone like he was skating on marbles. That's what it 1621 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,439 Speaker 1: looked like. The Seahawks just lost in a shootout at 1622 01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: home to the Bucks, so they want to bounce back. 1623 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 1: This is a very good matchup, hence it being number 1624 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 1: two in my I guess rankings of most watchable games 1625 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 1: number one. Do I need to do I need to 1626 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,720 Speaker 1: tell you guys or did you do the math here 1627 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:26,559 Speaker 1: to figure this out? 1628 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:26,680 Speaker 12: Like? 1629 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,960 Speaker 1: Who have I not talked about yet? That would be 1630 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: the Sunday night football game. They got it right. I've 1631 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,640 Speaker 1: been waiting all week for Sunday Night. They did not 1632 01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 1: get the song right. They never get the song right. 1633 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,640 Speaker 1: They changed it every year with Carrie Underwood, and it 1634 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 1: gets worse and worse every iteration of it. But this 1635 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,400 Speaker 1: matchup on Sunday Night football, speaking of desperation. You got 1636 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,639 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Arrowhead against the Lions. 1637 01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 1: Who remember they opened up against the Lions a couple 1638 01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 1: of years ago and the Lions played spoiler winning there 1639 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 1: on Ring night for the Kansas City Chiefs. But I 1640 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,960 Speaker 1: find this to be a fascinating matchup because of the 1641 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:12,240 Speaker 1: level of desperation we expect to see from KC. They 1642 01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 1: lose this game, there's a real good chance they don't 1643 01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You start two and four in the 1644 01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,800 Speaker 1: AFC West with how good Denver is starting to look. 1645 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: If the Chargers can you know, get a little healthier, 1646 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. This could be for the first time 1647 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 1: in a decade someone else's division for once. So does 1648 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,519 Speaker 1: Kansas City show up against the Lions who've been playing 1649 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: great football? Bri who's number one on your list? I 1650 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 1: did not do the math. I have no idea where 1651 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:37,679 Speaker 1: you're going. 1652 01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,640 Speaker 13: Oh so I had forty nine ers at Buccaneers at 1653 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 13: number two, and then Lions and Chiefs said it was 1654 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:42,680 Speaker 13: number one. 1655 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,680 Speaker 1: Wait did I just skip you with number two? Did 1656 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: that really have? 1657 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:45,559 Speaker 2: It? 1658 01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,679 Speaker 14: Really is over breed totally. 1659 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:50,559 Speaker 13: So I had forty nine ers at Bucks as my 1660 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 13: number two, and then I had Lions and Chiefs that 1661 01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 13: number one, so that I feel like that this could 1662 01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:56,799 Speaker 13: be the dagger in the chief season. 1663 01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,479 Speaker 1: So what about your a hoole rankings? Am I number 1664 01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,599 Speaker 1: one there? Because I just stiff right by you. We 1665 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:03,320 Speaker 1: were doing so. 1666 01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,600 Speaker 14: Well, you were doing so good. I was like, oh, okay. 1667 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 1: It was the premiere, it's a news segment, all right, 1668 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,640 Speaker 1: matchup power rankings, like, is he so. 1669 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 14: Mad that the Panthers are number fourteen on my list? 1670 01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 14: Over here? This is your karma of doing that. 1671 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 1: I forgot about it until now. Who's your number one? Again? 1672 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,400 Speaker 1: Because I just can't stop thinking about how I forgot 1673 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,720 Speaker 1: about it? So simpatico. Yeah we are, We're in the 1674 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 1: same place, and everybody feels like this is probably the 1675 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 1: best game this week. It's consensus, it's universally known. Coming 1676 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:36,920 Speaker 1: up next, how much do you know about Adam Silver? 1677 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,559 Speaker 1: Is he a vampire? Like some like to say, was 1678 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 1: he in that new Nosferatu movie? Wasn't that great? Eggars? 1679 01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,800 Speaker 1: I think? Is that director Robert Eggers? He can do better. 1680 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 1: The Witch was way better. But Adam Silver has a 1681 01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,320 Speaker 1: decision to make regarding the Clippers, and it's an awkward 1682 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:56,679 Speaker 1: one because they are hosting All Star weekend, but currently 1683 01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: they're being investigated for cap circumvention. I will tell you, 1684 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: based upon precedent, what Adam Silver could do next. I'm 1685 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 1: out of Mosland and you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. 1686 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 1687 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,800 Speaker 4: the nation.

A little more 1692 01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:30,080 Speaker 1: poetic there from Billy Corgan on what I would say 1693 01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: is their greatest album and maybe the greatest album Melancholy 1694 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 1: and the Infinite Sadness here as we're listening to the 1695 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 1: Smashing Pumpkins.

Tune into Countdown to Kickoff, presented 1704 01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 1: by Bett MGM every Saturday and Sunday morning. We're right 1705 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:13,240 Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. I 1706 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,880 Speaker 1: have teased it enough. It is time to talk about 1707 01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:20,800 Speaker 1: the commission. Evening Commission, so if he didn't know. The 1708 01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,680 Speaker 1: Clippers are being investigated by the NBA for cap circumvention. 1709 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,639 Speaker 1: All this stems from Pablo Torre, formerly of the Evil 1710 01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: four Letter, slow dripping his findings of a seven seven 1711 01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:38,639 Speaker 1: month long investigation. It appears his stuff is well sourced. 1712 01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't know he's got three thousand pages. But it 1713 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that his conclusion of Steve Balmer was re 1714 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:48,519 Speaker 1: routing money to Kawhi is true. First, the allegations were 1715 01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: about Steve Balmer donating fifty million and Kawhi ending up 1716 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,720 Speaker 1: with forty eight million from this company Aspiration, which was 1717 01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,280 Speaker 1: a green company reversing your carbon footprint. And then Mark 1718 01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:04,280 Speaker 1: Cuban started challenging Pablo to find some carbon credits because 1719 01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,639 Speaker 1: the Clippers can hide money easier or more easily there. 1720 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 1: And Pablo did find some of those, and then it 1721 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: became this back and forth where it feels like it's 1722 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,880 Speaker 1: Pablo Tory versus Mark Cuban a little bit more than 1723 01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 1: it's Pablo Tory versus the Clippers, and he wants to 1724 01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 1: be presented as a well respected journalist and this is 1725 01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 1: just a different way to go about that endeavor and 1726 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 1: that profession. Now by doing it through podcasting, podcast journalism. 1727 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:37,000 Speaker 1: But the NBA is looking into this now. Pablo Torre 1728 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,200 Speaker 1: got the ball rolling. The NBA is looking into it now. 1729 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:42,760 Speaker 1: What we did find out this week is that the 1730 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,040 Speaker 1: NBA is not moving the All Star Game from into 1731 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:50,160 Speaker 1: a dome, and they also haven't contacted Pablo Torre regarding 1732 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 1: their investigation. But ultimately here this is about Adam Silver 1733 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,400 Speaker 1: and who he is as a missioner in what his 1734 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:06,639 Speaker 1: motivations could be commission Now, what do you think about 1735 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:10,599 Speaker 1: when you think about your legacy? Maybe you think about 1736 01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 1: being a family man or woman, your career. Do people 1737 01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 1: know you off of that? What defines you? It's what 1738 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:22,600 Speaker 1: you do that defines you. Rachel told, Christian Bale and 1739 01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:27,280 Speaker 1: Batman mcgains. You know, I think about what people associate 1740 01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:31,360 Speaker 1: me with radio the Clippers, you know, believe me. Adam 1741 01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: Silver thinks about how people will remember his tenure as 1742 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 1: the commissioner of the association, and not just that, but 1743 01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:42,839 Speaker 1: how it relates and compares and contrasts to David Stern's tenure. 1744 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:48,759 Speaker 1: Stern is credited by making superstars household names and building 1745 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 1: the world wide brand that the NBA has become. He 1746 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 1: is known best for marketing stars. David Stern also as uh, 1747 01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:01,920 Speaker 1: you know some skeletons in the closet, you could say, 1748 01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:08,080 Speaker 1: with possibly rig drafts and a frozen envelope to get 1749 01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 1: stars to move to certain markets like Meanwhile, to this point, 1750 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,960 Speaker 1: Adam Silver, for the most part, is known for kicking 1751 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:22,559 Speaker 1: Donald Sterling out of the league, banning him for life. 1752 01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:27,439 Speaker 1: Adam Silver said that with his thin bat like chest 1753 01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 1: to keep the batman theme going, or because some call 1754 01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:34,679 Speaker 1: him a vampire it's wrong, but that was his crowning 1755 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: achievement to this point and something much appreciated by Clipper Nation, 1756 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:43,880 Speaker 1: believe me. But the negatives with Adam Silver are brought 1757 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 1: up by his detractors, and they would be this declining 1758 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 1: ratings due to a variety of reasons and some stuff 1759 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:53,559 Speaker 1: outside of his control, like legacy media dying and our 1760 01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 1: viewership and listenership being more divided than ever. It's more 1761 01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 1: of a challenge now the NBA back on NBA see 1762 01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,000 Speaker 1: this year will not have the same ratings as it 1763 01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 1: did in the nineties, not just because there's three hundred 1764 01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 1: more channels to look at, but because of YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, 1765 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:16,200 Speaker 1: all those other outlets to consume content we're streaming right 1766 01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:21,720 Speaker 1: now on iHeartRadio. It's all counter programming and it can 1767 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:27,479 Speaker 1: be competitive. Silver is also associated with the load management era. 1768 01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 1: I would argue he's just at a disadvantage because if 1769 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 1: you read the science and listen to the actual doctors 1770 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:38,800 Speaker 1: about this stuff, yes science, not many like to do 1771 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,599 Speaker 1: that instead of just you know, being dumbass weekend Warriors 1772 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 1: and saying, no players, they just aren't as tough as 1773 01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,000 Speaker 1: they used to be back in my day, That's all 1774 01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 1: it is. The real reason is kids are at more 1775 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,960 Speaker 1: of a risk for injury and youth sports because of 1776 01:35:56,120 --> 01:36:00,080 Speaker 1: specialization and overtraining, meaning by the time some of the 1777 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:04,080 Speaker 1: them become pros, there's far less tread on the tires. 1778 01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 1: And if you don't believe me, there is a great 1779 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: article by the Evil four Letter in twenty eighteen titled 1780 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:15,040 Speaker 1: these kids are ticking time bombs the threat of youth basketball. 1781 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:20,400 Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily hold that against Adam Silver. But 1782 01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:24,800 Speaker 1: aside from this, one of Silver's problems might be self inflicted. 1783 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,120 Speaker 1: He is diverting from the path of his predecessor in 1784 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,400 Speaker 1: this way. He doesn't favor dynasties. I bring this up 1785 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:35,520 Speaker 1: a lot, but David Stern once said his dream finals 1786 01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:41,920 Speaker 1: matchup was the Lakers versus the Lakers. Does that sound 1787 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:47,720 Speaker 1: like a commissioner looking out for the little guy? And 1788 01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 1: during his tenure there were many sketchy playoff games that 1789 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:59,280 Speaker 1: were strangely officiated, you could say, for you where people 1790 01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 1: think it was fake or in favor of the larger 1791 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 1: market team for them to go deeper into the playoffs 1792 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:08,760 Speaker 1: because it made the NBA more money. Well, guess what 1793 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 1: we just saw in the NBA Finals this past year, 1794 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:15,799 Speaker 1: the OKC Thunder winning a championship over the Indiana Pacers, 1795 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 1: two small market teams. And we've also had seven different 1796 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:23,400 Speaker 1: champions the last seven seasons. And unlike David Stern, Adam 1797 01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,840 Speaker 1: Silver used this as a positive for the league. His 1798 01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,600 Speaker 1: belief is you need to get the greatest amount of 1799 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:33,280 Speaker 1: fans invested in the product, so you have to make 1800 01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:36,920 Speaker 1: as many possible fan bases believe going into a season 1801 01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,559 Speaker 1: that they have a chance. So you're saying there's a chance. 1802 01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:44,919 Speaker 1: He is in favor of parody. He's not dynasty hunting 1803 01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,080 Speaker 1: like David Stern was, where one team could define a decade. 1804 01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 1: Silver wants diversity in champions. The more teams involved every 1805 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 1: year means more fans are going out to see their 1806 01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:01,960 Speaker 1: teams play, to watch them, to buy their merchant, to 1807 01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:06,760 Speaker 1: help grow the league and fill the owner's pockets. That's 1808 01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Chrice is wrong, bitch. Look, I'm just 1809 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:18,519 Speaker 1: saying it's not about having opposing fans hate watching one 1810 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:22,800 Speaker 1: team they've grown tired of seeing win every year. Like 1811 01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:25,040 Speaker 1: maybe you were with the Golden State Warriors or the 1812 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 1: Lakers at one point, or even the Spurs, even going 1813 01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:31,040 Speaker 1: back to the Bulls or the Celtics, those were dynasties. 1814 01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 1: David Stern was in favor of that. Silver wants to 1815 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:38,840 Speaker 1: be more inclusive and grow the pot by getting more 1816 01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:43,160 Speaker 1: teams involved, and that means not catering to larger markets. 1817 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,639 Speaker 1: And because of what Stern helped do with marketing stars 1818 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: so well, in the different ways we can watch our 1819 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: favorite teams now even if they aren't in your city. 1820 01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:55,040 Speaker 1: It's not hard for SGA, even in OKC to have 1821 01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,599 Speaker 1: multiple endorsement deals, so having to go to New York 1822 01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:03,559 Speaker 1: or LA to build your brand that's not necessary anymore, 1823 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 1: which plays into Silver's dream of supreme parody, where you 1824 01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,559 Speaker 1: could throw a dart out of board going into every 1825 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:14,559 Speaker 1: season and maybe that team at landed On wins because 1826 01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,040 Speaker 1: who knows, it could be anyone. It's the same reason 1827 01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 1: he's expanded the playoffs for more teams to have a 1828 01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:24,360 Speaker 1: chance and being featured in more meaningful games, same reason 1829 01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,160 Speaker 1: he's trying this n season tournament. So even if you 1830 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,840 Speaker 1: didn't win the Larry ob he wants you to have 1831 01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:33,880 Speaker 1: some pride in winning a different trophy. The Emirates Cup Yay, 1832 01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:39,599 Speaker 1: sound the party kazoo. Here's like Emercks Cup here. The 1833 01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 1: more things to win, the more you can have pride 1834 01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:46,439 Speaker 1: in your team, and more likely you are to invest 1835 01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:50,040 Speaker 1: in your team and the NBA product, and therefore the 1836 01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:55,120 Speaker 1: more the league grows monetarily. Are you following me here now, 1837 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:59,080 Speaker 1: you might ask yourself, all right, Adam, how does this 1838 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:04,439 Speaker 1: relate to the Clippers investigation going on? Well? The reason 1839 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 1: Adam Silver has talked about salary cap circumvention being the 1840 01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:12,840 Speaker 1: cardinal sin in the NBA is because that would mean 1841 01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 1: teams could have unfair advantages, which could lead to less parody, 1842 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 1: the parody that he so desperately craves. That would undermine everything. 1843 01:40:22,880 --> 01:40:25,720 Speaker 1: We just talked about. If the allegations turn out to 1844 01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,760 Speaker 1: be true, and that's all they are right now, allegations, 1845 01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,120 Speaker 1: he may not use the velvet hammer on the Clippers. 1846 01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,759 Speaker 1: He may go with Thor's hammer to punish them instead, 1847 01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,200 Speaker 1: so he can make an example out of them and 1848 01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:42,560 Speaker 1: scare any other team away from even thinking about circumventing 1849 01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,559 Speaker 1: the cap in the future, because hey, this is what 1850 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,320 Speaker 1: could happen to you. Just look at how hard I 1851 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:52,280 Speaker 1: hit the Clippers. He could turn it into I don't know, 1852 01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:58,240 Speaker 1: the NBA's death penalty. If the Clippers are found guilty 1853 01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,799 Speaker 1: of cap circumvention, this would seem to be an affront 1854 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,040 Speaker 1: to everything Adam Silver is trying to build by having 1855 01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,600 Speaker 1: the most fair and level playing field in sports. So 1856 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,439 Speaker 1: he can tell fans you have a reasona believe in 1857 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,800 Speaker 1: your team and be invested in this league because anyone 1858 01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,519 Speaker 1: can win this championship. We no longer favor big markets 1859 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 1: and dynasties. This ain't David Stearn's NBA, this ain't your 1860 01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:23,559 Speaker 1: grandfather's NBA. I'm putting my mark on the association and 1861 01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:29,599 Speaker 1: you will remember that this is my legacy. Many could 1862 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,160 Speaker 1: be looking at Adam Silver in this very moment in 1863 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 1: how he handles it. This could be a career defining decision, 1864 01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:43,280 Speaker 1: a legacy defining verdict. Now, when it comes to the 1865 01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,559 Speaker 1: Clippers and what's happened in the past, not talking about 1866 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: Donald Sterling, but more recent past, I guess this was 1867 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:54,000 Speaker 1: one year later. They were investigated in twenty fifteen for 1868 01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 1: negotiating with DeAndre Jordan with a third party in their 1869 01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 1: free agency pitch, and they were two hundred and fifty 1870 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They were also investigated in twenty nineteen after 1871 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:11,640 Speaker 1: landing Kawhi as Uncle Dennis. Uncle Dennis, who kind of 1872 01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 1: manages him, was asking for sweeteners allegedly. The NBA they 1873 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 1: didn't find any wrongdoing there, but what they did say 1874 01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,639 Speaker 1: was that should anything else arise, they could go back 1875 01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:29,960 Speaker 1: and reopen that investigation. Now, the good news is this 1876 01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:33,240 Speaker 1: time around for the Clippers, Adam Silver has made it 1877 01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,479 Speaker 1: clear that he believes in due process and while the 1878 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:40,000 Speaker 1: NBA is not a court of law, you're still innocent 1879 01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:45,599 Speaker 1: until proven guilty. Adam Silver said, the burden to proof 1880 01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: in the Kawhi Clipper situation is on the league quote. 1881 01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:54,040 Speaker 1: Our investigators look at the totality of the evidence. If 1882 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:58,280 Speaker 1: there was the mere appearance of impropriety, I would be 1883 01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 1: hesitant to act. Unquote if there was the mere appearance 1884 01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:11,360 Speaker 1: of impropriety. Well, that's kind of where outside fans are 1885 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:15,519 Speaker 1: coming from. Oh look we're connecting dots. Sure looks like 1886 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 1: something happened. I don't know. There's mountains of circumstantial evidence, 1887 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,719 Speaker 1: the mere appearance of impropriety, he would be hesitant to act. 1888 01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:31,960 Speaker 1: That wording is interesting because, according to the CBA Bylaws, 1889 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 1: CAP circumvention may be proven by quote, direct or circumstantial evidence, 1890 01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,760 Speaker 1: including but not limited to, evidence that a player contract 1891 01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:47,400 Speaker 1: or any term or provision thereof cannot rationally be explained. 1892 01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:51,599 Speaker 1: So when Adam Silver says, if there was the mere 1893 01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:55,439 Speaker 1: appearance of impropriety, I would be hesitant to act, is 1894 01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 1: he saying he needs direct evidence and would not punish 1895 01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:04,040 Speaker 1: if it was just circumstantial because it's up to his discretion. 1896 01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 1: Kind of There's another part to this. Adam Silver is 1897 01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,840 Speaker 1: here to serve the owners a lot of layers. George 1898 01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:17,320 Speaker 1: Casantra said it before. It's like an onion. The more 1899 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:21,320 Speaker 1: you peel it, the more it stinks. Adam Silver serves 1900 01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 1: the owners. He works for the owners, and this is 1901 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,719 Speaker 1: a strange predicament, and we talked about it with Lamer 1902 01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:32,800 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. But it's this dynamic where the 1903 01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:37,440 Speaker 1: people he works for sometimes he has to punish. Punishing 1904 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 1: his bosses makes this a very interesting dynamic. There's a 1905 01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:44,599 Speaker 1: couple former bosses I'd like to punish sometimes everybody feels 1906 01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:48,920 Speaker 1: like that for Silver though, it matters in getting the 1907 01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,519 Speaker 1: pulse of what the owners want out of this. Are 1908 01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 1: they afraid of what's hiding in their own closets? La 1909 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,840 Speaker 1: Murray mentioned that earlier would he be hesitant to punish 1910 01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:03,280 Speaker 1: one because you know, would someone else be next? Like 1911 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:09,800 Speaker 1: they got skeletons, they got their own issues, or do 1912 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:14,040 Speaker 1: they see Balmer the fifth or sixth richest person in 1913 01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:17,040 Speaker 1: the world. It changes all the time, is having advantages 1914 01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,280 Speaker 1: over them and maybe they think he needs to be 1915 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:23,400 Speaker 1: severely punished if the evidence looks bad enough in the 1916 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:29,120 Speaker 1: NBA's investigation. After all, these same owners they helped hammer 1917 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,320 Speaker 1: out the latest CBA, which was essentially aimed at Steve 1918 01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 1: Balmer and the other biggest spenders to stop them from 1919 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:39,280 Speaker 1: going into the luxury tax by implementing these punitive aprons. 1920 01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:44,640 Speaker 1: Second apron, you got to stay away from it. It's scary. 1921 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 1: It is Eli Roth horror film. Well, it's just one opinion. 1922 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,760 Speaker 1: Sun's owner Matt Ishbia said a couple of weeks ago 1923 01:45:57,200 --> 01:46:00,439 Speaker 1: about the NBA's investigation with the Clippers, quote, I'm not 1924 01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:03,599 Speaker 1: that concerned about it, to be honest. I know Steve 1925 01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:06,880 Speaker 1: Balmer and I think he's a great guy. He says 1926 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:11,200 Speaker 1: he didn't do that, and I believe him. Hmmm. Steve 1927 01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,360 Speaker 1: Balmer seems to be well liked by the other owners, 1928 01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:17,880 Speaker 1: but they and everyone else will want to see what 1929 01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: the NBA's investigation comes up with. I am reserving judgment. 1930 01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the truth to come out. As petres 1931 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,120 Speaker 1: of Money would say, gotta root for the truth, but 1932 01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:29,760 Speaker 1: try to bite a real show. Whatever the truth may be. 1933 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:33,360 Speaker 1: I can handle the truth, Jack, I can the code read. 1934 01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,559 Speaker 1: If the Clippers are guilty, they will be disciplined, and 1935 01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:40,160 Speaker 1: they should be. We need fairness and a level playing field. 1936 01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:43,880 Speaker 1: And if any team is paying a player outside of 1937 01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,920 Speaker 1: his NBA salary under the table, that goes against the 1938 01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,879 Speaker 1: competitive integrity of the league that Adam Silver wants to create. 1939 01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:58,479 Speaker 1: Some sources have said this won't be resolved until after 1940 01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:02,000 Speaker 1: the All Star game. Who hosts the All Star Game? 1941 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:03,880 Speaker 3: Brie pop quiz hotshot. 1942 01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:05,760 Speaker 1: I feel like it's down the street from us here 1943 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:07,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Do you have you been to that 1944 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,639 Speaker 1: new arena? It sounds like it's pretty nice. This into 1945 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,440 Speaker 1: a domeb Do you know about it? 1946 01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:13,360 Speaker 14: See, I've been there. 1947 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:18,000 Speaker 1: They allowed you in a Phoenix Suns fan. Wow, Well, 1948 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:21,479 Speaker 1: it's an awkward situation like asking a Suns fan to 1949 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:25,639 Speaker 1: create the Clippers arena, but having the All Star Game 1950 01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: there and having this hanging over things. If they haven't 1951 01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:35,240 Speaker 1: come out with a statement or levied punishment, should the 1952 01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:39,599 Speaker 1: Clippers be guilty? That is awkward awkward. Is this going 1953 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:45,200 Speaker 1: to drag into the next offseason? I don't know. I 1954 01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:48,800 Speaker 1: think this is a situation where and lat Murray kind 1955 01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,000 Speaker 1: of alluded to this earlier on with us here on 1956 01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:54,880 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Maybe it's not going to take as 1957 01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:58,639 Speaker 1: long as we think. Maybe here's what you have to do. 1958 01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:02,479 Speaker 1: You either finish. Maybe not the week after the All 1959 01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:05,360 Speaker 1: Star Game. That would seem too much like they were 1960 01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:09,000 Speaker 1: holding back information and their findings in the report. If 1961 01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,519 Speaker 1: like the day after the All Star Game, all of 1962 01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:15,880 Speaker 1: a sudden, the NBA says, hey, finish, the investigation, just 1963 01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:18,080 Speaker 1: coincidence that had happened right after we got out of 1964 01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:18,519 Speaker 1: the building. 1965 01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:18,800 Speaker 12: There. 1966 01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:22,320 Speaker 1: Maybe they wait like a month or two after, Maybe 1967 01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:25,800 Speaker 1: it takes till the off season. The sweet spots are 1968 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:28,720 Speaker 1: that and I don't know how sweet that could be 1969 01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:33,880 Speaker 1: for Clipper Nation because there is that bylaw that says 1970 01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,840 Speaker 1: they could suspend a player. And obviously, let's say the 1971 01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,040 Speaker 1: Clippers are a top three seat in the Western Conference, 1972 01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:43,240 Speaker 1: they're rolling, you get out of the All Star Break 1973 01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:46,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Kawhi Leonard got suspended. That's 1974 01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,520 Speaker 1: what the NBA came down with. That would be devastating 1975 01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:54,080 Speaker 1: the timing of that, But for the NBA's sake, I 1976 01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:58,360 Speaker 1: think the sweet spot is either early on in the season, 1977 01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:07,559 Speaker 1: say by December or next summer. That's probably what we're 1978 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:11,400 Speaker 1: looking at here, because you don't want it too close 1979 01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:14,599 Speaker 1: to the All Star Game, where all the questions head 1980 01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,880 Speaker 1: into it Dome instead of celebrating the game, are about Wow, 1981 01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:22,560 Speaker 1: we're in Steve Balmer's palace and the Clippers just got punished, 1982 01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:26,479 Speaker 1: and that's the story. That is not what the NBA wants. 1983 01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:30,240 Speaker 1: They're trying to as much as they want to distract 1984 01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,280 Speaker 1: from some bad All Star games. They want to do 1985 01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,479 Speaker 1: it by replacing it with a better format, whether it's 1986 01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:37,759 Speaker 1: USA versus the world. They got a lot of stuff 1987 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,719 Speaker 1: on the table. It still seems like a moving target. 1988 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:45,840 Speaker 1: What are we doing exactly? For many teams we have 1989 01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:48,639 Speaker 1: like semi finals games and then the All Star Game final. 1990 01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:52,719 Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing to figure out. I guess because 1991 01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:54,320 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to do it for a while, 1992 01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,120 Speaker 1: and I think people, for the most part, put way 1993 01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,560 Speaker 1: too much into an All Star Game. It's an exhibition 1994 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,720 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowls go. Is anybody sad about that? I 1995 01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:06,200 Speaker 1: get it as different. It's much more physical. It's hard 1996 01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:08,760 Speaker 1: to do an exhibition game like that. The reason baseball's 1997 01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:12,280 Speaker 1: the best is because guys can go just as hard 1998 01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:15,320 Speaker 1: as they typically do. NBA guys aren't gonna do that. 1999 01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:19,280 Speaker 1: I thought there were moments the last few years where 2000 01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:24,280 Speaker 1: some did, some didn't. But this has become a huge 2001 01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:29,040 Speaker 1: talking point by NBA fans and old heads and nostalgia 2002 01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,679 Speaker 1: freaks who just want to talk about All Star Games 2003 01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:33,519 Speaker 1: of yesteryear. When I went back to like an All 2004 01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 1: Star game from nineteen ninety and from the opening play, 2005 01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,720 Speaker 1: it was Dennis Rodman I forget on who. Maybe on 2006 01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:44,839 Speaker 1: Magic they're like, Wow, they're actually gonna play some defense 2007 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,320 Speaker 1: this year. If that plays indicative of anything, So it's like, okay, 2008 01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:51,040 Speaker 1: that means they had a reputation back then in the 2009 01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:53,280 Speaker 1: All Star Game that they also weren't playing defense if 2010 01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:56,360 Speaker 1: it stood out when they actually did play defense for possession. 2011 01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,720 Speaker 1: But the only way be worse for the NBA when 2012 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the All Star break is if the 2013 01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:09,880 Speaker 1: place they're playing in that team is being punished for 2014 01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:16,360 Speaker 1: a scandal like this. That's bad press. Not all pub 2015 01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,559 Speaker 1: is good pub for people who have actually made it 2016 01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:21,640 Speaker 1: and are successful already. The NBA is pretty successful. They 2017 01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:25,880 Speaker 1: can pick and choose what stories they would like to 2018 01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:29,840 Speaker 1: be relevant, or they would like this to be spun 2019 01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:33,680 Speaker 1: in a positive light this All Star Game and not 2020 01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:37,439 Speaker 1: have it be a backdrop for a bigger story. We 2021 01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,920 Speaker 1: shall see just my two cents on it. How do 2022 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,639 Speaker 1: I know coming up next? I don't know what's coming 2023 01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:48,720 Speaker 1: up because Breeby is leading on Stranger than Fiction, one 2024 01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:53,320 Speaker 1: of our favorite segments on FNA, I'm doublea Kevin's out tonight, 2025 01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:58,639 Speaker 1: Adam ashlend Osland, I'm in on Fox Sports Radio.

Did 2168 01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:51,560 Speaker 1: you bet on the Baltimore Ravens winning the Super Bowl 2169 01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:55,200 Speaker 1: this season? I'm gonna tell you why you're still not wrong? 2170 01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:56,760 Speaker 1: Coming up next here on Fox Sports Radio. 2171 01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,040 Speaker 3: Don't listening to Fox Sports read. 2172 02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:07,120 Speaker 1: It is Fox Football Sunday. I am Adam Oslin's. 2173 02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:08,960 Speaker 7: Adam Ashlyn, Adam Aslin. 2174 02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Adam Ashmus, Brian Auslin. Do you want to hear my 2175 02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:25,720 Speaker 1: jingle that's from the Petros and Money Show? Earlier in 2176 02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:29,440 Speaker 1: hour one is this is our four? We had Petro's song. 2177 02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:32,840 Speaker 1: We also had LAMRII of the Athletic. You'll be able 2178 02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:37,640 Speaker 1: to podcast it all momentarily, but still to come. How 2179 02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 1: is a player who went one for eighteen in a 2180 02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:43,560 Speaker 1: series on the verge of being the goat? I will 2181 02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:46,520 Speaker 1: tell you about that, but first it's back to the 2182 02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:52,560 Speaker 1: NFL because bri won't have it any other way. Now, 2183 02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:56,320 Speaker 1: I never watched this show before, but there was something 2184 02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,440 Speaker 1: on the Disney Channel in the mid two thousands called 2185 02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:06,640 Speaker 1: That's so Raven. Well, everything that occurs this season for 2186 02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:10,240 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens has fans saying that it's like Derrick 2187 02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:13,360 Speaker 1: Henry fumbles, they blow the first game, that's so raven. 2188 02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:17,960 Speaker 1: They were so Jim Harbaugh. The defense gives up another 2189 02:01:18,160 --> 02:01:22,440 Speaker 1: third and long completion, that's so raven. Lamar Jackson gets hurt. 2190 02:01:22,440 --> 02:01:27,480 Speaker 1: That's so raven. Like anything that can go wrong has 2191 02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:31,320 Speaker 1: and will continue for the Baltimore Ravens to go wrong, 2192 02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:35,600 Speaker 1: like they're one in four teams that start one and four. 2193 02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:39,000 Speaker 1: Do you uh want to know the odds on making 2194 02:01:39,040 --> 02:01:43,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Ods have a six percent chance of making 2195 02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:46,960 Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs. Now that could go up a little 2196 02:01:46,960 --> 02:01:50,200 Speaker 1: bit because now there's seven teams in each conference that 2197 02:01:50,320 --> 02:01:54,200 Speaker 1: make it. Inclusion, you gotta get everybody in there. Before 2198 02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:57,880 Speaker 1: last year, only fifteen of the two hundred and fifty 2199 02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:00,720 Speaker 1: three teams in NFL history that start one in four 2200 02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:05,240 Speaker 1: made the playoffs six percent. But last year Los Angeles 2201 02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:08,480 Speaker 1: Rams started one in four, so they brought the total 2202 02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:12,600 Speaker 1: to sixteen teams have done it. Baltimore, they haven't had 2203 02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:16,320 Speaker 1: a one in four start in a decade, the last 2204 02:02:16,360 --> 02:02:19,600 Speaker 1: time being twenty fifteen. That twenty fifteen squad did not 2205 02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:23,400 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They went from being this year Super 2206 02:02:23,400 --> 02:02:28,840 Speaker 1: Bowl favorites to starting off one and four. But they 2207 02:02:28,960 --> 02:02:34,960 Speaker 1: actually will. Actually, they still have a decent chance and 2208 02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:40,080 Speaker 1: are currently the odds on favorite to be the seventh 2209 02:02:40,120 --> 02:02:42,600 Speaker 1: team in NFL history to make the playoffs after starting 2210 02:02:42,640 --> 02:02:48,760 Speaker 1: one in four. Why because the NFC North has gone south. 2211 02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:50,600 Speaker 1: It's bad. 2212 02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:51,960 Speaker 7: The Bombs lost. 2213 02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:56,919 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty bad. They are still currently the Baltimore Ravens, 2214 02:02:57,080 --> 02:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the odds on favorites to win the NFL seed North 2215 02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:06,400 Speaker 1: somehow at even odds. The Bengals, they're two and three. 2216 02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:10,200 Speaker 1: They're relying now on a former Raven quarterback Great to 2217 02:03:10,280 --> 02:03:13,160 Speaker 1: dig them out of this hole with Joe Flacco, who 2218 02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:16,960 Speaker 1: has never been elite outside of one playoff run and 2219 02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:20,640 Speaker 1: certainly doesn't qualify as elite at the age of forty. Now, 2220 02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:24,920 Speaker 1: nobody can be elite when you're that old, getting old. 2221 02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:31,280 Speaker 1: We're all washed. They're thirtieth in strength of schedule, the Bengals, 2222 02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:34,920 Speaker 1: but that's also because the Ravens are currently counted as 2223 02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:37,120 Speaker 1: an easy team to beat for them and they still 2224 02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:40,360 Speaker 1: have to play them twice. What about the Browns in 2225 02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:44,040 Speaker 1: their division, Well, they're one and four. They have the 2226 02:03:44,080 --> 02:03:48,320 Speaker 1: twenty ninth toughest schedule, so relatively easy, but it's inflated 2227 02:03:48,560 --> 02:03:51,920 Speaker 1: because they are expecting the Ravens to continue being this bad. 2228 02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:56,520 Speaker 1: But the Browns are not competition for the NFC North regardless. 2229 02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:58,760 Speaker 1: If they come out of the season knowing who their 2230 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:01,360 Speaker 1: young quarterback of the future is to build around, that 2231 02:04:01,400 --> 02:04:04,640 Speaker 1: would be a successful year for the Cleveland Browns. The 2232 02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,840 Speaker 1: real competition for the one in four Ravens would be 2233 02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Of course, they're three to one with wins 2234 02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:15,640 Speaker 1: over the Jets, the Patriots, the Vikings. Okay, the Jets 2235 02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:19,120 Speaker 1: doesn't count. The Patriots does count. Now they're playing better 2236 02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:22,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings even with Carson Wentz. Somebody used to call 2237 02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:25,360 Speaker 1: them Wentz when they had to watch them throw wins. 2238 02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:30,480 Speaker 1: So funny, skip mister one point four. The Vikings. They 2239 02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:34,480 Speaker 1: just got a victory. It wasn't great. It was over 2240 02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:38,680 Speaker 1: the Browns actually, But they have the twenty sixth strength 2241 02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:43,160 Speaker 1: of schedule remaining. These Steelers, but they still have games 2242 02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:47,960 Speaker 1: against the Bills, the Lions, the Colts, the Packers, the Chargers, 2243 02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:54,240 Speaker 1: and two more against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore's route and 2244 02:04:54,360 --> 02:04:58,200 Speaker 1: path to reclaim the division and why they're still favored 2245 02:04:58,240 --> 02:05:01,880 Speaker 1: to win it is this. They don't play another divisional 2246 02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:05,200 Speaker 1: game until Week eleven, and they are currently one and 2247 02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,240 Speaker 1: zero against the division, having put a beat down on 2248 02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:10,680 Speaker 1: the Browns in Week two, which we thought was their 2249 02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:13,520 Speaker 1: big response after losing to the Bills and giving away 2250 02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:17,240 Speaker 1: a game in Week one. The Baltimore Ravens have the 2251 02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:21,960 Speaker 1: twenty fifth easiest schedule, even though they don't have themselves 2252 02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:25,720 Speaker 1: twice on the schedule to play. They've already played the Bills, 2253 02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:28,760 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, they've played the Chiefs, two of their 2254 02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:33,680 Speaker 1: tougher opponents on the schedule. So by week eleven, when 2255 02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:38,000 Speaker 1: they get back into divisional play, the Ravens might actually 2256 02:05:38,040 --> 02:05:46,720 Speaker 1: be healthier healthier let's say, can they survive until then 2257 02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,480 Speaker 1: is the question? Well, this week they have the Rams 2258 02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:53,080 Speaker 1: at home. That's a problem, especially because the Rams they 2259 02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:55,520 Speaker 1: just blew a game where they're favored by eight on 2260 02:05:55,560 --> 02:05:58,280 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, so it's not quite a bye week. 2261 02:05:58,320 --> 02:06:01,040 Speaker 1: For them, but they get extra time to prepare for 2262 02:06:01,120 --> 02:06:05,880 Speaker 1: this team. They still got Mac Jones. Lamar's not playing 2263 02:06:05,920 --> 02:06:09,160 Speaker 1: in this game. It's Cooper Rush, who looked a little 2264 02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:12,000 Speaker 1: rushed and sped up by that Texans defense last week. 2265 02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:16,280 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush looked like Cooper Manning's son Arch Manning if 2266 02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:19,080 Speaker 1: he didn't know by his play with Texas outside of 2267 02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:23,160 Speaker 1: today's game, like, He's definitely not Eli's or Peyton's son. 2268 02:06:23,920 --> 02:06:28,360 Speaker 1: He's Cooper's. But even if the Ravens, you know, lose 2269 02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:31,400 Speaker 1: that game, let's say they moved to one in five, 2270 02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:36,520 Speaker 1: it's likely the Rams are giving seven points. They are 2271 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:40,720 Speaker 1: heavy favorites. The Ravens still are not out of it. 2272 02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they have a chance because they got 2273 02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:48,960 Speaker 1: a bye week coming up. That's their chance to reset. 2274 02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:49,560 Speaker 2: Now. 2275 02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:51,400 Speaker 1: That could mean they have a foot out the door 2276 02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:55,960 Speaker 1: against the Rams later today because they're waiting for the 2277 02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,360 Speaker 1: bye week to come save them. You can't lose the 2278 02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:01,600 Speaker 1: bye week. You can sometimes guy gets hurt in practice, whatever. 2279 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:05,520 Speaker 1: But after the bye week, the Baltimore Ravens have the Bears, 2280 02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:12,840 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Vikings, the Browns, the Jets. I could 2281 02:07:12,880 --> 02:07:16,400 Speaker 1: see them very quickly getting to four and six, and 2282 02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:19,240 Speaker 1: by then you may say that's bad. But all of 2283 02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:23,080 Speaker 1: a sudden, there's three straight divisional games against the Bengals, 2284 02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:26,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers, and the Bengals again, then the Patriots and 2285 02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Packers before finishing the year in Pittsburgh. Why do I 2286 02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:32,880 Speaker 1: get the feeling that final game against the Steelers will 2287 02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:36,320 Speaker 1: determine the AFC North and the only team who makes 2288 02:07:36,320 --> 02:07:38,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs from the NFC North is going to be 2289 02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,120 Speaker 1: that division winner. I don't think they're getting two teams in. 2290 02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,280 Speaker 1: You get one team and you like it. The NFC 2291 02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:47,520 Speaker 1: North is in a bad place, and so are the Ravens. 2292 02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:51,920 Speaker 1: There's a connection here, right, that's their hope to carry 2293 02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the flag for the division and have some King of 2294 02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:58,320 Speaker 1: the North pride like Rob Stark, who I still like 2295 02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:01,440 Speaker 1: to believe is live somewhere and didn't get red wedding 2296 02:08:01,800 --> 02:08:04,760 Speaker 1: because I love the King of the North. But obviously, 2297 02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:06,720 Speaker 1: so much of this is dependent on the health of 2298 02:08:06,800 --> 02:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, because the offense hasn't been the problem really 2299 02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:12,400 Speaker 1: when he's out there, at least their defense is losing 2300 02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:15,480 Speaker 1: them games, and their injury report on that side of 2301 02:08:15,520 --> 02:08:18,360 Speaker 1: the ball is more dark than an Edgar Allan Poe 2302 02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:21,240 Speaker 1: poem since we're talking about the Ravens, I mean quote, 2303 02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:25,120 Speaker 1: deep into that darkness, peering long. I stood there, wondering, 2304 02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,760 Speaker 1: fearing that was the eighteen hundred version of That's So Raven, 2305 02:08:28,840 --> 02:08:35,520 Speaker 1: basically that Edgar Allen Poe poem on the raven never more. 2306 02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:39,960 Speaker 1: If they somehow win this week against the Rams, somehow, 2307 02:08:40,880 --> 02:08:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna Charles Barkley guarantee Gayatie they win the NFC 2308 02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:51,200 Speaker 1: North and therefore make the playoffs a tall task. But 2309 02:08:51,360 --> 02:08:57,560 Speaker 1: maybe Lamar and that hamstring, I don't know. Maybe they 2310 02:08:57,560 --> 02:09:00,440 Speaker 1: get the tiger bomb out and it healed a little 2311 02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:04,200 Speaker 1: bit more quickly, or you know, the deer Antler spray. 2312 02:09:04,920 --> 02:09:09,120 Speaker 1: They get that out ray Lewis's old locker. Yet no 2313 02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:11,720 Speaker 1: one talks about that anymore for some reason, even though 2314 02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:14,880 Speaker 1: I think it was on the band's substance list and 2315 02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:17,160 Speaker 1: they ended up winning the super Bowl and he came 2316 02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:20,720 Speaker 1: back miraculously from I think a torn triceep not the 2317 02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:23,560 Speaker 1: worst thing Ray Lewis may have done. But still it's 2318 02:09:23,640 --> 02:09:28,000 Speaker 1: just the Ravens aren't done. You can think they're done. 2319 02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:30,960 Speaker 1: You can throw dirt on them, you can puff your 2320 02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:32,840 Speaker 1: chest out if you're the Steelers right now. And I 2321 02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:36,280 Speaker 1: do think Pittsburgh has a chance to elevate themselves and 2322 02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:40,760 Speaker 1: be even better because two staples of that franchise are 2323 02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:44,400 Speaker 1: running the football and playing great defense. They haven't been 2324 02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:47,120 Speaker 1: great in either of those categories so far this season. 2325 02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:49,880 Speaker 1: They can pick it up. I think they will against 2326 02:09:49,880 --> 02:09:52,280 Speaker 1: the Browns later today. Of course, Browns are coming back 2327 02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:54,360 Speaker 1: from playing overseas and losing that game to the Vikings, 2328 02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:58,800 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, But outside of them, the Bengals are 2329 02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:02,960 Speaker 1: in disarray. They're gonna gets smoked by the Packers. Smoke cheese, 2330 02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:07,040 Speaker 1: s Gouda cheese. They're gonna get destroyed. Packers are favored 2331 02:10:07,040 --> 02:10:11,200 Speaker 1: by fourteen in that game, and Joe Flacco. Outside of 2332 02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:17,120 Speaker 1: and Kevin referenced this last night on FNA FNA outside 2333 02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:20,160 Speaker 1: of one time were Baker Mayfield, who turns out to 2334 02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,680 Speaker 1: be maybe the MVP this season and by the way 2335 02:10:22,720 --> 02:10:26,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers passed on him, who was there for a bit, 2336 02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:29,360 Speaker 1: and Sam Darnold. I'm in a special place of hell. 2337 02:10:30,360 --> 02:10:33,400 Speaker 1: They had two good quarterbacks for a second, but outside 2338 02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:37,480 Speaker 1: a Baker Mayfield going to the Rams and then playing 2339 02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:41,040 Speaker 1: like a Thursday night game a day later against the Raiders, 2340 02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:44,960 Speaker 1: and somehow he performed and played well and picked up 2341 02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:48,240 Speaker 1: the playbook right away. Outside of that, typically it's very 2342 02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:53,600 Speaker 1: difficult to just get that speed run or take a 2343 02:10:53,600 --> 02:11:00,000 Speaker 1: crash course and be immersed in whatever Cincinnati Bengals culture 2344 02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:03,640 Speaker 1: is and know how they want to do things philosophy wise. Now, 2345 02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:07,120 Speaker 1: their receivers are good enough and if Joe Flacco and 2346 02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:08,920 Speaker 1: he still has a strong enough arm to get it 2347 02:11:08,960 --> 02:11:13,280 Speaker 1: to him. It's about timing rhythm routes, knowing the playbook. 2348 02:11:13,840 --> 02:11:17,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like the Packers, since they're favored 2349 02:11:17,240 --> 02:11:19,320 Speaker 1: by fourteen points, have a real good chance of plating 2350 02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:23,200 Speaker 1: that game. My point is the Baltimore Ravens are not 2351 02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:27,400 Speaker 1: out of this yet. The bye week is coming, Winter 2352 02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:29,880 Speaker 1: is coming. This is like a reverse of that, because 2353 02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Winter is Coming was like scary and ominous. This is like, oh, 2354 02:11:35,400 --> 02:11:38,560 Speaker 1: the bye week, it's it's maybe it's a mirage. It's 2355 02:11:38,600 --> 02:11:42,120 Speaker 1: an oasis in the desert. But that could save them 2356 02:11:42,160 --> 02:11:44,800 Speaker 1: even if they lose tomorrow against the Rams and Matt Stafford, 2357 02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:48,680 Speaker 1: who are motivated, who are upset. Sean McVay keeps losing 2358 02:11:49,480 --> 02:11:54,400 Speaker 1: to Breeze favorite head coach Kyle Shanahan. It ain't the 2359 02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:58,280 Speaker 1: head coach of your saints who likes to kick field 2360 02:11:58,280 --> 02:12:00,480 Speaker 1: goals when they're down by thirty five and the first 2361 02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:03,240 Speaker 1: half and think that's gonna do something more. Oh, that's 2362 02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:07,400 Speaker 1: a big moral lift that'll get us back on track. 2363 02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:12,640 Speaker 1: What a loser mentality? Oh you have the Raven song? Now, 2364 02:12:13,200 --> 02:12:16,200 Speaker 1: that's so raven? Well why didn't you play it when 2365 02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,560 Speaker 1: I was talking about it? Are you talking on the 2366 02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:20,640 Speaker 1: air now or not? Are you just talking to my 2367 02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:26,960 Speaker 1: ear because I can't tell you're an update anchor speaking 2368 02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:29,920 Speaker 1: to the mic and tell me about that's so raven? 2369 02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:31,560 Speaker 1: Because I've never seen the show. I was more of 2370 02:12:31,600 --> 02:12:32,880 Speaker 1: a Victoria justice guy. 2371 02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:37,720 Speaker 14: That's like past. That's so raven. Victory is way after that. Well, 2372 02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:38,839 Speaker 14: that's even that's weird. 2373 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm don't admit that. No, I'm I've never seen what 2374 02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:45,080 Speaker 1: is her show justified? 2375 02:12:45,520 --> 02:12:46,360 Speaker 14: I have no idea. 2376 02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Disney starlets that ended up being super 2377 02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:56,280 Speaker 1: hotties later. I only know about that that show because 2378 02:12:56,400 --> 02:12:59,560 Speaker 1: you know she ended up being h beautiful. 2379 02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:01,080 Speaker 14: That's so raven. 2380 02:13:01,240 --> 02:13:03,960 Speaker 13: Had Raven Simone, I think that was her actual name, 2381 02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:06,200 Speaker 13: and so she would, like, you know, just be living 2382 02:13:06,240 --> 02:13:08,680 Speaker 13: her life as like a high schooler and then all 2383 02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:10,560 Speaker 13: of a sudden she would just like kind of like 2384 02:13:10,640 --> 02:13:12,560 Speaker 13: stop in the middle of whatever she was doing, and 2385 02:13:12,600 --> 02:13:15,280 Speaker 13: then they would like zoom into her right eye and 2386 02:13:15,360 --> 02:13:17,920 Speaker 13: she would have like a vision some kind of like. 2387 02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Oh like a third eye thing. 2388 02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:21,000 Speaker 14: No, like she could see into the future if she 2389 02:13:21,080 --> 02:13:21,840 Speaker 14: knew what was gonna be. 2390 02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:24,640 Speaker 1: But that's like the raven thing from Game of Thrones. 2391 02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you have the raven sight, but it's like 2392 02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:31,760 Speaker 1: a mog like with the raven. 2393 02:13:32,200 --> 02:13:35,360 Speaker 14: Didn't they see into the past too?

Okay, that last part was not in the 2411 02:14:24,120 --> 02:14:26,920 Speaker 1: original DuckTales theme. I used to have a little tape 2412 02:14:26,960 --> 02:14:30,280 Speaker 1: cassette that I called cartoon Rap, and I would hold 2413 02:14:30,280 --> 02:14:33,840 Speaker 1: my top boy whatever home alone cassette recorder up to 2414 02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:36,880 Speaker 1: the TV when these old cartoons would play, like Ducktails 2415 02:14:37,240 --> 02:14:40,360 Speaker 1: or Rescue Rangers or Dark Wing Duck. Because they had 2416 02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:43,280 Speaker 1: such great theme songs, gummy bears bouncing here and there 2417 02:14:43,320 --> 02:14:46,080 Speaker 1: and everywhere, I would double them.

That tells you how good this 2441 02:15:48,040 --> 02:15:51,400 Speaker 1: Dodger's team is. They moved on to the NLCS tonight 2442 02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:54,400 Speaker 1: we found out their opponent will be Milwaukee. But I'll 2443 02:15:54,440 --> 02:15:56,800 Speaker 1: tell you why that player can still turn out to 2444 02:15:56,800 --> 02:15:58,920 Speaker 1: be the goat during these playoffs even though he just 2445 02:15:58,960 --> 02:16:02,960 Speaker 1: went one for eighteen in a series.

If he rushes that much, 2460 02:16:57,720 --> 02:16:59,840 Speaker 1: is he going to be able to stay upright for 2461 02:16:59,840 --> 02:17:01,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. I worry about his health. 2462 02:17:01,959 --> 02:17:05,600 Speaker 1: He's been in the blue tent five times and. 2463 02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:08,080 Speaker 9: He should have been taken out of that game. They 2464 02:17:08,080 --> 02:17:08,800 Speaker 9: shouldn't let him. 2465 02:17:08,920 --> 02:17:11,120 Speaker 12: That's on. I call him Brian the Bonehead. 2466 02:17:11,120 --> 02:17:15,240 Speaker 9: Hopefully he gets fired the head coach. But but Jackson Dodd, Yeah, 2467 02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:18,240 Speaker 9: we're worried about him because he's out there and he's 2468 02:17:18,320 --> 02:17:23,199 Speaker 9: running around and he's exposing himself too much playing. He's 2469 02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:26,320 Speaker 9: just lucky a defensive backs on that attackle anymore, or 2470 02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:27,959 Speaker 9: he would have trouble with them if it was like 2471 02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:30,879 Speaker 9: ten twenty years ago. Uh, he's got to be more protective. 2472 02:17:30,879 --> 02:17:33,120 Speaker 9: He's got to learn how to slide more. But don't 2473 02:17:33,160 --> 02:17:35,960 Speaker 9: worry about that extra yard man, Just slide or get 2474 02:17:35,959 --> 02:17:39,440 Speaker 9: out of bounds. You're the quarterback and the offensive line 2475 02:17:39,440 --> 02:17:41,959 Speaker 9: has got to have to chip into and do their 2476 02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:43,600 Speaker 9: job and protect this guy. 2477 02:17:43,959 --> 02:17:46,000 Speaker 12: And we'll see what he's going to do. 2478 02:17:46,120 --> 02:17:48,119 Speaker 9: Now, cam' scataboo to me. 2479 02:17:49,520 --> 02:17:50,120 Speaker 1: The white Hino. 2480 02:17:50,280 --> 02:17:53,720 Speaker 9: Heard guys listen, man, I heard guys talking. Oh, he's 2481 02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:57,320 Speaker 9: running like Zanke. He's running right rigas if you watch him, 2482 02:17:57,640 --> 02:17:59,119 Speaker 9: he's more closer inside. 2483 02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:00,800 Speaker 12: He's a mini media. Earl Campbell. 2484 02:18:00,800 --> 02:18:03,119 Speaker 9: He's smolling at Earl Campbell, but he's running the way 2485 02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:04,400 Speaker 9: Earl ran ear. 2486 02:18:04,560 --> 02:18:06,039 Speaker 12: Was hitting you every way. 2487 02:18:06,080 --> 02:18:09,000 Speaker 9: It's almost like like a linebacker running with the football like. 2488 02:18:08,920 --> 02:18:12,280 Speaker 1: He's going out his most famous play, he lowered his 2489 02:18:12,480 --> 02:18:15,600 Speaker 1: helmet into the defender's chest and moved him that way. 2490 02:18:15,680 --> 02:18:16,440 Speaker 1: Earl Campbell. 2491 02:18:17,520 --> 02:18:22,520 Speaker 9: Yes, and and and and Scott is a reckless runner, too, verygless. 2492 02:18:22,680 --> 02:18:24,680 Speaker 9: He's got that what's called you know, the old time 2493 02:18:24,720 --> 02:18:26,879 Speaker 9: guy used to call that low center of gravity because 2494 02:18:26,879 --> 02:18:29,520 Speaker 9: he's not that tall and it's hard to get a 2495 02:18:29,560 --> 02:18:32,360 Speaker 9: real good direct shot on him. Let's let's face it, 2496 02:18:32,400 --> 02:18:35,080 Speaker 9: he's another guy. I hope they use him right, and 2497 02:18:35,120 --> 02:18:37,320 Speaker 9: we don't want to get injured and nothing. I'm a 2498 02:18:37,360 --> 02:18:39,280 Speaker 9: big giant fan at staying the truth, and I put 2499 02:18:39,320 --> 02:18:39,680 Speaker 9: up with a. 2500 02:18:39,600 --> 02:18:42,240 Speaker 1: Lot of nonsense to let Josh, Josh, you're throwing me 2501 02:18:42,320 --> 02:18:45,360 Speaker 1: off here because our call screener and our producer here 2502 02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:48,000 Speaker 1: Brebrey said you were a Jets fan off air. 2503 02:18:48,600 --> 02:18:50,600 Speaker 9: Oh no, I wanted to talk about the Jets in 2504 02:18:50,640 --> 02:18:53,119 Speaker 9: London because the Giant game is already all the Giants already, 2505 02:18:53,959 --> 02:18:54,560 Speaker 9: you got, you. 2506 02:18:54,640 --> 02:18:56,879 Speaker 1: Got your victory. Now you want to say how many 2507 02:18:56,959 --> 02:18:58,720 Speaker 1: points the Jets are going to lose by? Or are 2508 02:18:58,760 --> 02:18:59,840 Speaker 1: you a Jets fan too? 2509 02:19:00,879 --> 02:19:01,039 Speaker 13: Well? 2510 02:19:01,080 --> 02:19:03,640 Speaker 12: I joked about a Jets deck. Come on, those guys 2511 02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:05,199 Speaker 12: multiple Jesus. 2512 02:19:07,080 --> 02:19:09,160 Speaker 9: In New York, right, we got we got guys a 2513 02:19:09,240 --> 02:19:11,680 Speaker 9: Cowboys fans. How many times you get over the Dallas 2514 02:19:11,680 --> 02:19:14,120 Speaker 9: to a home game? Come on, man, could knock that off. 2515 02:19:14,160 --> 02:19:15,920 Speaker 9: That started, I believe a little older than me. 2516 02:19:16,080 --> 02:19:17,080 Speaker 12: I believe that started in. 2517 02:19:17,040 --> 02:19:19,760 Speaker 9: The seventies where it really took hold and guys thought 2518 02:19:19,840 --> 02:19:21,960 Speaker 9: by Jet. But listen, I was just worried about the 2519 02:19:22,040 --> 02:19:25,000 Speaker 9: Jet players with all that fog in London finding the stadium, 2520 02:19:25,040 --> 02:19:28,440 Speaker 9: you know, because h Aaron Glenn. I mean, he could 2521 02:19:28,560 --> 02:19:31,920 Speaker 9: be a player coach after seeing that dance on the sidelines, 2522 02:19:31,959 --> 02:19:34,000 Speaker 9: he could be on the kickoff team. I think Aaron 2523 02:19:34,040 --> 02:19:36,360 Speaker 9: Glenn is the one guy then that could still play 2524 02:19:36,400 --> 02:19:39,480 Speaker 9: football on the Jets. And you know, like I said, 2525 02:19:39,480 --> 02:19:41,760 Speaker 9: I was just worried about the players finding the stadiumcause 2526 02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:44,160 Speaker 9: of the London fog. You know, Cookie, the jetsaw You 2527 02:19:44,200 --> 02:19:46,400 Speaker 9: know I was talking about this great defense to eighty 2528 02:19:46,440 --> 02:19:47,120 Speaker 9: five bands. 2529 02:19:47,120 --> 02:19:48,680 Speaker 12: Come on, stop knock it off? 2530 02:19:48,720 --> 02:19:51,480 Speaker 1: Were you The Jets have one of the worst defenses 2531 02:19:51,520 --> 02:19:53,959 Speaker 1: I've seen. And I feel bad for Aaron Glenn because 2532 02:19:54,040 --> 02:19:56,120 Speaker 1: I really liked him as a player. But they are 2533 02:19:56,120 --> 02:20:00,240 Speaker 1: getting lit up left and right. They can't stop An knows, 2534 02:20:00,280 --> 02:20:01,800 Speaker 1: but they got nothing right now. 2535 02:20:03,040 --> 02:20:06,120 Speaker 9: And the most amazing thing is I'm meeting these young 2536 02:20:06,200 --> 02:20:09,040 Speaker 9: dudes who don't even file sports, but they bet on sports. 2537 02:20:11,280 --> 02:20:14,040 Speaker 1: It's an addiction. Josh, come on, what he's supposed to do? 2538 02:20:14,800 --> 02:20:16,600 Speaker 9: What was I supposed to tell him? I said, listen, 2539 02:20:16,879 --> 02:20:20,279 Speaker 9: bet the JITs to lose every weekend. You won't be disappointed. 2540 02:20:20,360 --> 02:20:21,720 Speaker 9: I thought, what am I supposed to tell him? 2541 02:20:21,840 --> 02:20:22,959 Speaker 12: Tell who is? 2542 02:20:23,040 --> 02:20:23,520 Speaker 7: He would say? 2543 02:20:23,520 --> 02:20:24,680 Speaker 12: What team does he played for? 2544 02:20:24,720 --> 02:20:25,240 Speaker 9: The Yankees? 2545 02:20:26,760 --> 02:20:32,400 Speaker 1: Josh, I appreciate the phone call. I don't know. I 2546 02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:34,400 Speaker 1: guess I should have know he's from New York. He 2547 02:20:34,440 --> 02:20:36,200 Speaker 1: wants to talk about the Giants. He wants to talk 2548 02:20:36,240 --> 02:20:39,320 Speaker 1: about the Jets. The Yankees are out. The Mets had 2549 02:20:39,360 --> 02:20:42,440 Speaker 1: an epic collapse. Was he going to get into the 2550 02:20:42,480 --> 02:20:45,960 Speaker 1: Islanders like the Rangers? I think hockey just started up. 2551 02:20:46,040 --> 02:20:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly a puckhead. If you didn't know, I'm 2552 02:20:49,240 --> 02:20:53,039 Speaker 1: more of a steam head, you could say, because major 2553 02:20:53,120 --> 02:20:56,680 Speaker 1: League Baseball and that takes center stage for me during 2554 02:20:56,720 --> 02:20:59,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Show me a basketball to spring and I've 2555 02:20:59,720 --> 02:21:02,840 Speaker 1: got a freezing cold take, or at least I think 2556 02:21:02,879 --> 02:21:04,840 Speaker 1: it is. Some people might think as a hot take here, 2557 02:21:05,200 --> 02:21:08,400 Speaker 1: but it shouldn't be. This should be grass is green, 2558 02:21:08,560 --> 02:21:11,400 Speaker 1: the sky is blue, water is wet. The Dodgers are 2559 02:21:11,400 --> 02:21:15,320 Speaker 1: gonna win the World Series again, you know the obvious stuff. Okay, 2560 02:21:15,400 --> 02:21:17,240 Speaker 1: maybe the last one's more of an opinion than a 2561 02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:20,039 Speaker 1: statement of fact, but I don't consider this an opinion. 2562 02:21:20,800 --> 02:21:26,119 Speaker 1: If the Dodgers do win the World Series, Wow, Shohei 2563 02:21:26,240 --> 02:21:29,879 Speaker 1: o Tani is both pitching and hitting at a high level. 2564 02:21:31,480 --> 02:21:34,720 Speaker 1: He is easily the greatest player of all time. Emphasis 2565 02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:40,880 Speaker 1: on easily. This should be an accepted fact is a fact. 2566 02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:43,760 Speaker 1: If a player is not just a player, but actually 2567 02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:47,400 Speaker 1: two players in one and he's elite in both ways, 2568 02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:49,600 Speaker 1: and he does it at the highest level in the 2569 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:52,760 Speaker 1: biggest moments, that's the best player ever easily. 2570 02:21:53,240 --> 02:21:53,400 Speaker 7: Now. 2571 02:21:53,440 --> 02:21:56,440 Speaker 1: I know, he just went up one for eighteen and 2572 02:21:56,480 --> 02:21:59,560 Speaker 1: they still won. And moved on to the NLCS and 2573 02:21:59,600 --> 02:22:03,480 Speaker 1: one in four games because that's who they are, and 2574 02:22:03,520 --> 02:22:05,600 Speaker 1: they took out the Phillies, who a lot of people said, 2575 02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:07,600 Speaker 1: if it's not the Dodgers, it's the Phillies who were 2576 02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna win it. Whoever comes out of this series is 2577 02:22:10,240 --> 02:22:16,320 Speaker 1: winning the entire thing. But even with Otani being that bad, look, 2578 02:22:16,400 --> 02:22:20,480 Speaker 1: every Goat contender has flaws. Otani had a bad series, 2579 02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:23,040 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he has actual flaws. As 2580 02:22:23,080 --> 02:22:29,879 Speaker 1: a player, Like with Otani, you aren't sacrificing quality for quantity. 2581 02:22:29,959 --> 02:22:32,600 Speaker 1: Everything he does is at the highest level. Remember in 2582 02:22:32,680 --> 02:22:37,640 Speaker 1: video games, where you'd have so many points that you 2583 02:22:37,720 --> 02:22:42,759 Speaker 1: could use on building a creative player with different attributes. 2584 02:22:43,280 --> 02:22:49,199 Speaker 1: You could disperse those points and maybe you couldn't maximize 2585 02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:51,520 Speaker 1: a player unless you had a cheat code, but you 2586 02:22:51,520 --> 02:22:53,440 Speaker 1: could take the points and go, okay, I'm putting some 2587 02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:59,240 Speaker 1: into power, some into speed, some into agility, some into stamina. 2588 02:22:59,360 --> 02:23:02,160 Speaker 1: You had to sack somewhere you only had so many points. 2589 02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:05,840 Speaker 1: Not with Otani. He is the cheat code. He's not 2590 02:23:06,760 --> 02:23:11,360 Speaker 1: five tools, He's all six Infinity Stones. And he will 2591 02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:14,800 Speaker 1: soon be widely accepted as the greatest player and the 2592 02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:19,240 Speaker 1: greatest baseball player in the universe. It is inevitable, like 2593 02:23:19,360 --> 02:23:23,360 Speaker 1: venos an over used analogy, but every other goat is 2594 02:23:23,400 --> 02:23:26,600 Speaker 1: flawed in some way due to error they played in 2595 02:23:26,879 --> 02:23:29,959 Speaker 1: or limitations as a player in Major League baseball history, 2596 02:23:30,560 --> 02:23:35,400 Speaker 1: like Bonds is the greatest hitter ever, but didn't pitch. 2597 02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:40,640 Speaker 1: Did do Royd's read game of shadows? His feet, not 2598 02:23:40,760 --> 02:23:43,760 Speaker 1: his head. It wasn't his baseball cap. His head didn't 2599 02:23:43,760 --> 02:23:47,120 Speaker 1: grow his feet did. You can read about this. The 2600 02:23:47,200 --> 02:23:49,760 Speaker 1: cream and the clear couldn't keep him in the clear 2601 02:23:49,840 --> 02:23:53,640 Speaker 1: from having an asterisk on his career. He's not in 2602 02:23:53,680 --> 02:23:56,959 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. It's over. Willie Mays did do 2603 02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:01,000 Speaker 1: it clean. Although some people say greenies back then were 2604 02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:05,360 Speaker 1: being used amphetamines, But it's Willie Mays. Everybody was using them, 2605 02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:08,760 Speaker 1: and I think they'd be what's that ADHD stuff? Now? 2606 02:24:09,480 --> 02:24:12,200 Speaker 1: Adderall like, guys, can I think you can use that 2607 02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:15,160 Speaker 1: and get away with it. That's the equivalent of greenies 2608 02:24:15,200 --> 02:24:19,160 Speaker 1: back then. Like that's not cheating to me. But Willie Mays, 2609 02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:22,320 Speaker 1: as great as he was, he didn't pitch. Babe Ruth 2610 02:24:22,720 --> 02:24:27,280 Speaker 1: did hit and pitch, but not to black players. His 2611 02:24:27,400 --> 02:24:30,360 Speaker 1: numbers were in the segregation era of baseball. It's not 2612 02:24:30,520 --> 02:24:33,280 Speaker 1: the same. The level of competition is not the same. 2613 02:24:33,360 --> 02:24:36,480 Speaker 1: He didn't play in the analytics era. Also like Shoe 2614 02:24:36,520 --> 02:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Hail Tani, where every flaw is exposed through numbers and spreadsheets. 2615 02:24:43,959 --> 02:24:47,120 Speaker 1: What was the scouting report on Babe ruth like oh 2616 02:24:47,480 --> 02:24:48,960 Speaker 1: says here he likes to eat a lot of hot 2617 02:24:48,959 --> 02:24:51,320 Speaker 1: dogs and drink a lot like Did they really have 2618 02:24:51,400 --> 02:24:54,600 Speaker 1: the understanding of what pitches he struggled with, what part 2619 02:24:54,600 --> 02:24:56,640 Speaker 1: of the zone where he had holes in his swing? 2620 02:24:57,200 --> 02:25:00,480 Speaker 1: It was much harder to be great, or it is, 2621 02:25:00,640 --> 02:25:04,519 Speaker 1: I should say, when everyone has all the information possible 2622 02:25:04,959 --> 02:25:07,400 Speaker 1: on where your flaws could be, and they will pick 2623 02:25:07,440 --> 02:25:11,000 Speaker 1: at them. That's what O'tani deals with. There's no other 2624 02:25:11,040 --> 02:25:15,959 Speaker 1: player you could bring up that dominates as many parts 2625 02:25:15,959 --> 02:25:19,640 Speaker 1: of the game as well as O'tawni does. Even if 2626 02:25:19,640 --> 02:25:22,840 Speaker 1: you think there were slightly better hitters, those guys did 2627 02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:25,360 Speaker 1: not pitch like him. Even if you think there are 2628 02:25:25,400 --> 02:25:28,560 Speaker 1: better pitchers there are none of them can hit like him. 2629 02:25:29,040 --> 02:25:32,480 Speaker 1: The only thing missing from his resume is a World 2630 02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:36,600 Speaker 1: Series title while doing both hitting and pitching on the 2631 02:25:36,640 --> 02:25:41,520 Speaker 1: biggest stage. That would put him on top of the mountain. 2632 02:25:42,120 --> 02:25:44,640 Speaker 1: That actually would put him in the clouds. He'd be 2633 02:25:44,680 --> 02:25:49,360 Speaker 1: a baseball god at that point. Law This is why 2634 02:25:49,360 --> 02:25:52,360 Speaker 1: he came to the Dodgers. He couldn't solidify his legacy 2635 02:25:52,480 --> 02:25:54,920 Speaker 1: like this with the Angels because you have to make 2636 02:25:54,959 --> 02:25:58,720 Speaker 1: the postseason to reach that stratosphere of a player. I 2637 02:25:58,840 --> 02:26:02,080 Speaker 1: remember Rob Parker couple of years ago voting for Aaron 2638 02:26:02,200 --> 02:26:06,640 Speaker 1: Judge over Otani in the MVP race because Judge was 2639 02:26:06,680 --> 02:26:10,000 Speaker 1: putting up his numbers with the pressure of being in 2640 02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:14,320 Speaker 1: a playoff chase that was on the line for them. Well, 2641 02:26:14,320 --> 02:26:17,280 Speaker 1: Otani wasn't exactly playing under the bright lights in the 2642 02:26:17,360 --> 02:26:21,120 Speaker 1: highest leverage games down in Anaheim. Now he saw Mike 2643 02:26:21,160 --> 02:26:25,440 Speaker 1: Trout fade into anonymity, become an afterthought there and said, no, 2644 02:26:25,560 --> 02:26:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to a place that can help elevate me 2645 02:26:28,040 --> 02:26:32,640 Speaker 1: to the greatest player ever status. Kevin Kevin Figures once 2646 02:26:32,680 --> 02:26:35,840 Speaker 1: called Mike Trout a flower in a pot of dirt. Well, 2647 02:26:36,040 --> 02:26:40,160 Speaker 1: show he Otani was a damn oasis in Anaheim. How 2648 02:26:40,160 --> 02:26:41,520 Speaker 1: are you going to keep him down on the farm? 2649 02:26:41,560 --> 02:26:41,720 Speaker 12: Though? 2650 02:26:41,760 --> 02:26:45,520 Speaker 1: After they've seen Carl Hungus once, Otani saw the good life. 2651 02:26:45,959 --> 02:26:48,760 Speaker 1: During the Freeway Series against the Dodgers a few times 2652 02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:53,720 Speaker 1: he knew what his destiny was. Now he's being worshiped 2653 02:26:54,400 --> 02:26:57,720 Speaker 1: like the Golden God. He is not just by me here. 2654 02:26:57,879 --> 02:27:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, even his rare goal in Bobblehead had people 2655 02:27:01,480 --> 02:27:05,200 Speaker 1: climbing over each other like a TV on sale on 2656 02:27:05,280 --> 02:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Black Friday or something like that thing. I don't know 2657 02:27:08,920 --> 02:27:11,560 Speaker 1: what they went for on eBay. But we're living in 2658 02:27:11,640 --> 02:27:15,720 Speaker 1: the age of Otani. We have the modern day Babe 2659 02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:19,160 Speaker 1: Ruth who's doing all of this in four K, not 2660 02:27:19,280 --> 02:27:22,640 Speaker 1: on wax cylinder or one of those eighteen hundreds cameras 2661 02:27:22,640 --> 02:27:25,160 Speaker 1: where you'd have to stand there for ten minutes straight, 2662 02:27:26,400 --> 02:27:30,600 Speaker 1: stand still. Otani is caught in four K. We have 2663 02:27:30,680 --> 02:27:33,800 Speaker 1: a mythical figure doing this in front of all of us. 2664 02:27:33,840 --> 02:27:37,120 Speaker 1: To see. This is an old wives tales about Wilt 2665 02:27:37,200 --> 02:27:40,359 Speaker 1: Chamberlain grabbing the cord off the top of a backboard 2666 02:27:40,440 --> 02:27:44,800 Speaker 1: or whatever other numbers he put put up off the court. 2667 02:27:44,840 --> 02:27:48,280 Speaker 1: But it's not Mickey Mantle supposedly hitting a ball six 2668 02:27:48,720 --> 02:27:52,480 Speaker 1: and forty three feet, which did not happen. It's not 2669 02:27:53,200 --> 02:27:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, Babe Ruth, Hey, he was able to drink 2670 02:27:55,720 --> 02:27:58,240 Speaker 1: and still be that good. I guess that did happen. 2671 02:27:58,840 --> 02:28:03,000 Speaker 1: But we have stack technology now we don't need to 2672 02:28:03,120 --> 02:28:04,440 Speaker 1: lie about anything. 2673 02:28:04,560 --> 02:28:05,480 Speaker 12: That's a bunch of crap. 2674 02:28:06,040 --> 02:28:10,280 Speaker 1: No, But I'm sure in the future people will say 2675 02:28:10,280 --> 02:28:14,920 Speaker 1: stuff Otani is doing was just you know, developers getting 2676 02:28:14,959 --> 02:28:17,840 Speaker 1: creative during the early days of AI, which is what 2677 02:28:17,879 --> 02:28:20,720 Speaker 1: we're in. That was just AI hype. That was that 2678 02:28:20,840 --> 02:28:24,840 Speaker 1: era where everything was fake before government regulations. That's what 2679 02:28:24,879 --> 02:28:27,240 Speaker 1: they'll say about some of the stuff we're seeing Otani 2680 02:28:27,320 --> 02:28:31,800 Speaker 1: do fifty years from now. Maybe he's that special. And 2681 02:28:31,840 --> 02:28:34,280 Speaker 1: I ain't grow up a Dodger fan. I may work 2682 02:28:34,320 --> 02:28:36,920 Speaker 1: at a five seventy LA Sports now. I grew up 2683 02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:40,520 Speaker 1: a San Francisco Giants fan, and we thought he was 2684 02:28:40,560 --> 02:28:42,680 Speaker 1: actually gonna go to the Giants, but they didn't have 2685 02:28:42,760 --> 02:28:45,800 Speaker 1: the DH in the NL at that time, or else 2686 02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:49,439 Speaker 1: maybe he would have signed with them instead of the Angels. 2687 02:28:50,400 --> 02:28:53,279 Speaker 1: And I'm in awe. Even when he goes one for eighteen, 2688 02:28:54,200 --> 02:28:58,520 Speaker 1: the Phillies still walked him, remember that in Game four. 2689 02:28:59,240 --> 02:29:02,800 Speaker 1: They respected him enough. Maybe he was one for seventeen 2690 02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:05,520 Speaker 1: at that time in the series and they walked him 2691 02:29:06,160 --> 02:29:10,600 Speaker 1: to eventually lead to the winning run on a pass 2692 02:29:10,680 --> 02:29:13,600 Speaker 1: ball from the pitcher to the catcher. It was it 2693 02:29:13,640 --> 02:29:16,760 Speaker 1: was a comedy of errors at the very end. But 2694 02:29:17,720 --> 02:29:20,800 Speaker 1: this is something where I don't care if you're a 2695 02:29:20,840 --> 02:29:23,760 Speaker 1: fan of the Dodgers or not. Remember Lebron's old campaign 2696 02:29:24,040 --> 02:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Witness Witness greatness, Appreciate greatness, like this is the eighth 2697 02:29:30,720 --> 02:29:33,520 Speaker 1: wonder of the world. And if Sho hail Tani gets 2698 02:29:33,560 --> 02:29:35,199 Speaker 1: out of this slump, and I think he will because 2699 02:29:35,240 --> 02:29:39,680 Speaker 1: he's that good and starts hitting hitting bombs. I think 2700 02:29:39,720 --> 02:29:43,160 Speaker 1: he had two home runs against the Reds and the 2701 02:29:43,200 --> 02:29:46,640 Speaker 1: wild Card Series before he went into the tank or 2702 02:29:46,760 --> 02:29:49,600 Speaker 1: had a cold bat against the Phillies. If he gets 2703 02:29:49,600 --> 02:29:53,360 Speaker 1: a hot bat while he's pitching, like the way he 2704 02:29:53,400 --> 02:29:56,400 Speaker 1: did against the Phillies in Game one, and they win 2705 02:29:56,440 --> 02:30:01,840 Speaker 1: the World Series, it's over. It's over. That's it. He's 2706 02:30:01,879 --> 02:30:05,080 Speaker 1: the greatest player ever. There can be no debate who 2707 02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:08,800 Speaker 1: the goat is. It's definitive in baseball. If you can 2708 02:30:08,879 --> 02:30:12,080 Speaker 1: do not just hit at the highest level, but pitch 2709 02:30:12,080 --> 02:30:15,120 Speaker 1: at the highest level at the same time, it's over. 2710 02:30:16,320 --> 02:30:20,040 Speaker 1: This should not be controversial. This should be obvious, plain 2711 02:30:20,160 --> 02:30:23,160 Speaker 1: and simple to everyone. I know we like to do rankings. 2712 02:30:25,200 --> 02:30:29,080 Speaker 1: I know some people really enjoy the MJ versus Lebron stuff, 2713 02:30:29,280 --> 02:30:32,320 Speaker 1: but this should be clear cut and widely accepted and 2714 02:30:32,440 --> 02:30:36,640 Speaker 1: universally accepted. If Otani hits and pitches on their way 2715 02:30:36,680 --> 02:30:38,840 Speaker 1: to winning the World Series at a high level, he's 2716 02:30:38,879 --> 02:30:41,959 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. Coming up next, far from it, 2717 02:30:42,240 --> 02:30:46,520 Speaker 1: it's back to Bri in Breeze three. I'm sorry, it 2718 02:30:46,560 --> 02:30:48,800 Speaker 1: was it was just I had to do it. I 2719 02:30:48,840 --> 02:30:52,640 Speaker 1: couldn't help myself.

He was with the 2792 02:34:18,600 --> 02:34:21,520 Speaker 1: New One. There was another Marvel movie. It was The 2793 02:34:21,560 --> 02:34:23,400 Speaker 1: New Avenger Spin. I didn't watch it. 2794 02:34:23,480 --> 02:34:25,800 Speaker 13: No, I have no clue, but I just know he 2795 02:34:25,879 --> 02:34:28,680 Speaker 13: was with The Winter Soldier. And you know that docu 2796 02:34:29,120 --> 02:34:30,720 Speaker 13: what was it docu series or it was just like 2797 02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:32,439 Speaker 13: a TV show, the. 2798 02:34:33,320 --> 02:34:36,440 Speaker 1: Disney show, Disney Plus.

I mean, he would take 2803 02:34:45,360 --> 02:34:49,880 Speaker 1: that as a real high compliment. I know he's like 2804 02:34:50,040 --> 02:34:52,959 Speaker 1: married to a model or something like that, or dating one, 2805 02:34:53,800 --> 02:34:56,960 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure that's because he's a starting quarterback 2806 02:34:57,000 --> 02:34:59,480 Speaker 1: of an NFL team and it's not really about his looks. 2807 02:34:59,520 --> 02:35:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember Charles Barkley talking about Kenny Smith's 2808 02:35:02,640 --> 02:35:05,960 Speaker 1: wife and being like she ain't marrying Kenny Smith the plumber. 2809 02:35:06,120 --> 02:35:08,840 Speaker 1: She's married to Katy Smith, the former basketball player. 2810 02:35:09,200 --> 02:35:13,880 Speaker 13: Ryan Gosling did play a football player and uh remember anyway, 2811 02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:16,800 Speaker 13: So yeah, those are my three went Gunpal, fashion Stan 2812 02:35:17,120 --> 02:35:18,320 Speaker 13: and Ryan Gosling. 2813 02:35:18,879 --> 02:35:22,880 Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, I'm gonna have to think about that. Aaron 2814 02:35:22,959 --> 02:35:28,039 Speaker 1: Rodgers could be played by Colin Farrell. I will say, 2815 02:35:28,600 --> 02:35:34,440 Speaker 1: is that Mary, There's there's a resemblance, there's a likeness there. Mark, 2816 02:35:34,480 --> 02:35:37,800 Speaker 1: you want to give me one while I stall, well. 2817 02:35:37,640 --> 02:35:39,920 Speaker 10: The way I stall with this is when I got 2818 02:35:39,920 --> 02:35:43,720 Speaker 10: this whole thing wrong. I just picked quarterbacks and to 2819 02:35:43,840 --> 02:35:47,520 Speaker 10: put them to cast them into something. So I picked 2820 02:35:47,959 --> 02:35:51,040 Speaker 10: Josh Allen could be on a western with his with 2821 02:35:51,080 --> 02:35:56,040 Speaker 10: his wife Haley Steinfeld. Maybe another True Grit movie, True 2822 02:35:56,080 --> 02:35:58,439 Speaker 10: Grit number three. 2823 02:35:59,480 --> 02:36:02,080 Speaker 1: And then the Coen Brothers doing this one too. I 2824 02:36:02,280 --> 02:36:02,880 Speaker 1: like it, why not? 2825 02:36:02,959 --> 02:36:05,959 Speaker 10: And then Trevor Lawrence but possibly put him in a 2826 02:36:05,959 --> 02:36:08,480 Speaker 10: Three Musketeers movie because of his hair and he's tall 2827 02:36:08,560 --> 02:36:11,400 Speaker 10: and you know, he could be a three Musketeer. And 2828 02:36:11,440 --> 02:36:15,000 Speaker 10: then Baker Mayfield. He could be in Downtown Abbey or 2829 02:36:15,680 --> 02:36:18,720 Speaker 10: put him in a Dura cel battery commercial and. 2830 02:36:20,240 --> 02:36:20,879 Speaker 14: That's my three. 2831 02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:26,080 Speaker 1: Dursel the Copper Topper, that too.
