But I thought maybe you saw something that 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: had been picked up in a video like what's going viral? 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: What am I missing? 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: No, he's three or three from the field, two for 46 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: two from beyond the arc, ten points with two assists. 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Brownie James is having that kind of night. He has 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: nearly half of all of the Lakers points near halftime. 49 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: And if you think that, hey, the play by play 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: is not recognizing that, well, you would be wrong because 51 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: this is what it sounds like in Vegas on NBA TV, Bronnie. 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: Over Sanders, Welcome to the Bronnie James Show, the Lakers 53 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 4: eight seed, sparse. 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: Ronnie James Show. 55 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 5: My goodness. 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: It's like he was over the loudspeaker trying to hype 57 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: this sparse crowd here cheer for him, yet loud. It's like, hey, 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: is a microphone on, because I'm gonna get real excited 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: about Bronnie James if he hit something. 60 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: Okay, just go, oh my, the Bronny James Show. Welcome 61 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 3: to the Bronny Show, My goodness. But yeah, in nine minutes. 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: And so I don't know why he's only played nine minutes, 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: but it seems like the Lakers are just you know, 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: they're going through rotation now and everybody's playing around eight 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: nine minutes. He's got ten, three assists, two rebounds. As 66 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: you said, he's got a couple of threes. Bronnie is 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: having and has had so far a pretty good start 68 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: to summer league and not the okay, you know, talk 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: about something serious in summer League. But it is because 70 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: for Bronnie this is his chance to show that I 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: can be an NBA player. Because we talked about it 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: last hour on the show. We'll get into it later on. 73 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: Dad ain't gonna be around for much longer with the Lakers. Okay, 74 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: so this whole Hey, I got you on the team, 75 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: I got you in the league, I got you on here, 76 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: this whole league of their own. Oh and Dottie got 77 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: Kid into the league. That's gonna go away when Lebron 78 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: leaves and suddenly their loyalty to Bronnie James isn't gonna 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: be there. He's got a very short window. In fact, 80 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: this window is summer league and the preseason to show 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I can be a rotation player with the Lakers, because 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: that's really what his ceiling is. It's not gonna be 83 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a starting two guard in the league. 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: It's gonna be, Hey, can I carve out a nice 85 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: NBA career being the seventh or eighth or ninth guy. 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: I come in with the second unit and we have 87 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: a good we have a good few minutes, and we 88 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: either keep the game where it's at with the lead, 89 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: or we cut into the lead a little bit, we 90 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: don't lose the lead. Can I be that guy where 91 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: I can score a few points, I can dish out 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: a couple of assists, I can get a couple of rebounds, 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: I can play pretty good defense, and I can keep 94 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: this game at a zero sum, or I and and 95 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: provide some sort of rest for the players I'm coming 96 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: in for, or hey hey, I play a little bit 97 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: in spurts where I can be effective, like but this 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: is his time to do it, because after this, that's 99 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: gonna be it Like a Lake is still gonna go 100 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: for with Bronnie James. If Lebron's not a Laker next year, 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: really you think that's gonna happen. He's got But if 102 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: he's part of the rotation and JA, I can see 103 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: JJ Reddick saying, hey, no, he's one of my guys. 104 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: He's our eighth guy. He carves that out this year. 105 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: He's got a future, but he's got. 106 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: To look at him. 107 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: This is the stakes when you go to the summer league, 108 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: sometimes summer league and the preseason. For Bronnie James, his 109 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: whole NBA career hinges on what happens now and can 110 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: he be a part of the Lakers rotation in a 111 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: more regular way when the season starts. What is fun 112 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: to see is the growth development and him being more assertive. 113 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: We talked about it a little bit with the Cooper 114 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: flag conversation about operations shut down and everything. All Right, 115 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: you saw what you needed, right, proof of concept for 116 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Bronnie James. He went through a whole season and it 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: was a punchline and a lot of negativity and hate 118 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: watching and stories and certainly even the most ardent of 119 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: Laker fans we're still looking at the front office and 120 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: waving their hands, going what are we doing here? You 121 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: know a lot of arguments about nepotism and everything else. 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: But in these five games, now, is he shooting a 123 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: high percentage every game? No, he played pretty well the 124 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: other night. What was he five of eleven? I think 125 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: from the field with his fourteen points. But he's showing 126 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you that he can move the ball, that he plays 127 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: pretty good defense, and he's got more confidence in the shot. 128 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Now does that translate into a long run? I don't know, 129 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: but it's becoming more of a guy that's standing on 130 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: his own. He's always going to be criticized for the 131 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: entry point. 132 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: That is the case. 133 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: And we see that in broadcasting. We see that in 134 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: every job, right unless it's a business that's literally called 135 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: blank and son or sons. But when we look at 136 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: it for what we've seen in these few games here 137 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: in the Summer League, it's a different player than we 138 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: saw last summer. 139 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: There's no question about it. 140 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: And to his credit, he's put in the work, put 141 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: on some muscle, and really trying to find his space 142 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: and his way into the game. So perhaps once Dad's 143 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: gone from being a Laker, he can stand on his own, 144 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: even in LA or somewhere else in the twenty nine 145 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: other cities. Yeah, I mean, look, could he wind up 146 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: getting picked up someplace else, Sure like I could see that. 147 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: But this is the team the drafted you. They're gonna 148 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: give you the biggest chance to succeed because this shows you, hey, 149 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: we knew what we were doing in the draft. You're 150 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: gonna get more of a benefit of the doubt, especially 151 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: with Lebron there. But when Lebron leaves, or if you 152 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: can't show that I'm a valuable piece of this rotation, 153 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: you're a second round pick that we have no loyalty 154 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: to a million bucks or whatever it is, that's money spent, 155 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: someunk cost as we always talk about here on the show, 156 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: going into the business of sports. But yeah, your point 157 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: is is right on right, He's gonna get a long 158 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: look and whatever is left in that stand in the 159 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: hour glass for Lebron James, whether it's a week or 160 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: a month or three months before a trade's consummated, or 161 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: a buyout situation occurs, or it's the end of the year, 162 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: that clock is ticking. 163 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 3: So Brownie James making the most of every minute. 164 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: He's had a hell of a game tonight, and one 165 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that gets a little extra attention because it is against 166 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: the Clippers. 167 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it doesn't matter. I mean, look, yeah, it's 168 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: Clippers at Summer League. 169 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: But in terms of the microscope here because it had 170 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: backed off a bit. Yeah, except for the way they 171 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: hid the flag.

No, it's got to be Brownie because 179 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: people at least pay attention. 180 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 3: Who do we put up on? 181 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: How about for the Patriots to put up James White 182 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: and for the Steelers. 183 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: To put a TJ. 184 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: Wattch But he's not playing. What happens about it? Bronni's 185 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: got this preseason summer league in preseason to show I 186 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: can be part of the rotation or that could be 187 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: it for him, And at the end of the year, 188 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 1: that's just gonna be That's just gonna be it for 189 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: him with the Lakers. 190 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: No, that's it. 191 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: You get your shot and a second year, maybe you 192 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: get a third. We'll see how it all plays out. 193 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: But and as we you always have to do the 194 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: tag on anything summer league related. It's it's summer league. 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: So a lot of these guys, you know, like Bronnie James, 196 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: are doing everything they can to be in the league. 197 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: One of the guys that's in the Lakers rotation right 198 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: now is Baisley, right, who decided he wasn't gonna go 199 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: to Syracuse, did a job for a year, and now 200 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: he's kind of been wandering trying to get himself back 201 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: into an NBA roster. It's an interesting story, no question 202 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: about it. But those are the guys you're competing with, 203 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: guys that are just trying to extend their professional careers. 204 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: So you take it all with a bit of a 205 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: grain of sault. But the feel of belonging and growth 206 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: of his game can't be denied. And what does that 207 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: translate to once we get to October November. Uh, I 208 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: think there's there's still a curiosity about it, which is 209 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: a fun story and a side story to what's going. 210 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 3: On with his old man. 211 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, all of a sudden, it goes to, hey, 212 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: he's got a great future, this is your last chance 213 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: with the team. Like that's because the Lebron thing is, 214 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: of course, is hanging over everything. Is true, possible trade? 215 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: Is he gonna go? 216 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: Is he not? Like? 217 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: That's everything like that that that's everything that's hanging over 218 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the situation with him, like this might be his last 219 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: chance already. 220 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 3: With the Lakers. 221 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: Well, I mean guaranteed money, dad did, okay, So he'll 222 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: he'll be okay, he'll fall on his feet. 223 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: I think he'll be fine. 224 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: He'll fall on his If you fall on your feet, 225 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get hurt. 226 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: New what what happened? I fell on my feet. He'll 227 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: fall and I'll he'll have a safe landing. 228 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 6: Uh. 229 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 3: So again, we'll keep you up there. 230 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: If Lebrony continues to score half the Lakers points, we'll uh, we'll. 231 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 3: Keep you up. That might become a bigger story obviously. 232 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Look, if he's the only guy shooting with any confidence, 233 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: just keep chucking. 234 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 5: So uh. 235 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: We watched cal Rally win the home run derby tonight, 236 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: beating Junior Commonero in the final round. There's controversy surrounding 237 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: how he got to the final round because he won 238 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: a tie breaker with Brent Rooker, a home run that 239 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: he hit the tie longest home run in the first 240 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: round him versus Rooker. His longest home run was less 241 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: than an inch or or less than an inch an 242 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: inch further than Rooker's longest home run, and there's a 243 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: lot of controversy over at Rooker said, I thought we 244 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: were gonna have a swing off. I was getting ready. 245 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know this, and if the league is gonna 246 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: do it this way, they should make sure we know 247 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: about it because I didn't know about it. Like the 248 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: broadcast put it out there that Okay, hey, make no mistake, 249 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: we have the we have the winner, right, I know, 250 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: it's it's an inch, and really you have it within 251 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: an inch? Really? Okay, I mean I know we have technology, 252 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: but wow, you have it within an inch for cal rally, 253 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: really you have it within an inch? Okay, that's fine, 254 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: But look, I gotta be honest here. I know this 255 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: is gonna get blown up, it to be a much 256 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: bigger deal than it is. I don't really care. I 257 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: mean really, and I don't know. I get that if 258 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: you're a rooker, you're a little upset because you want 259 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: to think maybe I could have won in a swing off, 260 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: maybe I could have gone all the way and I 261 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: could have won a million dollars, and that would be 262 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: that would certainly be a big deal. I understand that. 263 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: But in the end, it's a home run derby. It's 264 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: a found money kind of experience. 265 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: And these were the rules. 266 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, really, the the the the scrutiny 267 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: that all Star games and all star events have on 268 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: each other is just way too over the top because 269 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: it's it's it's almost like as as pundits and experts 270 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: and and and you know, you see people on TV 271 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: and hear them on the radio. Hey, I'm upset about this. 272 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: This is a really important, really hot take on this 273 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: all throughout the regular season. Then we get to an 274 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: all same no same thing. I'm just as upset about 275 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: what goes on at All Star game during the regular season. Okay, 276 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: how about you just calm because it's an All Star game. 277 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: It's a home run derby. Okay, that's what it is. 278 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: It's like getting upset that your kid doesn't win a 279 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: prize at a kid's birthday party. Oh, you should have 280 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: won the jumping frog right there, because ah, you are 281 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: right that, I mean, understand what it is. Your kid 282 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: had fun at a at a at a party. Just 283 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: because they didn't take home one of the bigger party favors, 284 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they had a bad time, doesn't mean they 285 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: even care about it. But yet this is the way 286 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be presented as, Oh. 287 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: Can you believe this? This this gross injustice that was 288 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: done to Brent Rock. 289 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 290 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I'd like to think there's a little bit better way 291 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: to do it than really within an inch and we 292 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: have the technology, okay, but in the end, it's it's 293 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: the home run derby. I mean, I can't sit here 294 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: and and talk about it like it's a regular season 295 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: thing or a playoff thing. 296 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 3: I can't do that. 297 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: Raleigh four to seventy point six y one Rooker for 298 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: seventy point five to three. Rookers comments after the fact 299 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: of hey, it should have been displayed what you were 300 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: going to try to hit it point oh nine further 301 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: in the next swing that was gonna be it. It's 302 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: all estimated at that point anyway, right, So you want 303 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: to fight about that with the pinpoint accuracy of wear 304 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: a ball. I mean, how many times have we seen 305 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: a home run it gets estimated like three twenty and. 306 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: Like that landed in the second deck. What are we doing? 307 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: Or or vice versa. Wow, they gave that a huge 308 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 3: get barely clear. 309 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: So it's it's a mess because now it'll, to your point, 310 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: become the latest hot take nonsense. But it keeps us 311 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot, keeps the blood pumping, the endorphin rush of 312 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: it all as it goes. For Rooker, I understand the 313 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: frustration that it's that close a margin, but you're kind 314 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: of pissed at yourself because it's that close of a margin, 315 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: knowing that you could have gone on and you are 316 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: still battling for the million dollar prize, the accolades, the history, 317 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. So you're a little salty there, but 318 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: don't tell me that suddenly if it was up on 319 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: the big board, it changes a little bit of confusion, 320 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: a little. 321 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 3: Bit of sadness.

No, it was She'll be back okay, 407 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: and then starts singing it like it's Hambleton it'll be back. 408 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: So if I were to say more Lakers Bubble Championship 409 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: than Warriors twenty twenty two. 410 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's okay. They didn't really deserve it, you know. 411 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Okay, But again this go ohs to the fact that 412 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: she really does have a deep intimate knowledge of the 413 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: way the show has gone. No, that he even had 414 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: that opinion. So she betrayed herself as she gave you. 415 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: And I didn't buy that for a second. I don't 416 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: know what's going to come on. 417 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 3: It's like, but she tried tweets. 418 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: This is like when players say I had no idea, 419 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I was traded. I was blindsided by it. I found 420 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: out watching television. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, yeah right, but 421 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: he probably. 422 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 7: Really did find. 423 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 3: I found it out on ESPN like the rest of you. 424 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: Very good, thank you, and again I'll give you credit 425 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: for that tomorrow. No, probably had lunch now at lunch, 426 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: at lunch, because I though that'll be where the conversation 427 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: happens at lunch. So cal Rally wins the home run 428 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Derby tonight, and honestly, and I say this, I say 429 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: this because I want to make it happen. I feel 430 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: like I need to make it happen for the guy. 431 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: But the one thing I miss every single year on 432 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: the home run Derby is and I get, look, he 433 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: just turned seventy, So how do you not have Berman 434 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: come out and do the home run derby? 435 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 8: Right? 436 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 3: Get irration? Because really, how. 437 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: Much more exciting would the home run derby be if 438 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: you just had Berman? 439 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: It does even matter. You can just be sitting in 440 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: the roofers. 441 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 5: Going back back back back back, gone, back back, back, 442 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 5: back back gone. 443 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: But his inluence on baseball and sports culture is so 444 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: immense that even if it's not being said out loud, 445 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: it's in your damn head. 446 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: Oh and there's no way. 447 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: And I don't think I'm now obviously not only watching 448 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of it sound full because we came 449 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: on the air doing the show. But I wonder if 450 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: like Rabbits and those guys are going, I'm not gonna 451 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: say the word back whatever, you're not going to say 452 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: the word back. No, it's probably on a sheet. It's 453 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: it's out of here, it's it's a home run. It's 454 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: that they're not saying back, back, back, back back or gone. Well, 455 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: it's like if you're calling a basketball game, you can't 456 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: say bang, double bang or trouble bang bang, boom boom, 457 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: double boom, big boom, big boom mic got it, big 458 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: boom mic big boomer. 459 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 9: Yeah. 460 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: But if you start saying booms and how you're talking, 461 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: like the Costco guys, that's fine, big booms, back back, back, back, 462 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: back back, go. 463 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: On, like really let him do primetime, right, but they 464 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 3: still do. 465 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: I think they still do it on ESPN plus they 466 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: were yeah, they right, and if they still do it, 467 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: but that and this, like, let them come out and 468 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: do it. More people would watch if you knew Berman 469 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: was coming out to do the home run derby back 470 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: back back more. I guarantee you more people would watch. 471 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: You'd have a little less hate watching too, because a 472 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: lot of folks here going and criticizing the style of 473 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: the format. The fact that Berman isn't there has been 474 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: all over my timeline. And maybe it's the algorithm. Y're 475 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: of a certain age, you love the boomerisms. I talked 476 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: about it with you earlier tonight and certainly in the past. 477 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: They did a whole trading card set.

Right now, now, 778 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: who's doing the rating? Oh well I am, I'm doing 779 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: the rating. 780 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just in. 781 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson gets a four year, one hundred and thirty 782 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: million dollar extension with the New York Jets, and it's 783 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: a great move. Not just me because I'm Jason Smith 784 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: Jets fan, but there is no more underrated receiver in 785 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: the game than Garrett Wilson. Okay, first of all, why 786 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 1: Tim Brown? Why do I say Garrett Wilson is Tim Brown? 787 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: The numbers that Wilson's been able to put up in 788 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: the first three years of his career and he's only 789 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. Every year his receptions have gone 790 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: up from eighty three to ninety five to one hundred 791 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: and one, his yards have gone up, his touchdown's gone up. 792 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: Every year it goes up despite the fact he has 793 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: played with a bunch of guys at quarterback that run 794 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: the gamut from just okay to out and out terrible. Right, 795 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: he's played with six quarterbacks, Okay, starting quarterbacks in the 796 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: last three years. Half of them have been Zach Wilson, right, 797 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: But Tim Boyle and Mike White and Trevor Simeon and 798 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers. I mean, these are guys 799 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: that are just they're just guys. Rogers the best guy 800 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: he's played with. Right, he's got Flacco near. Of course, 801 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: Flacco was really good and now he left. I wasn't 802 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: any good with the Browns. He was good, But he's 803 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: playing with just guys who are barely there, right, and 804 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: still he's able to put these numbers up, to put 805 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: these numbers up in a year where when they get 806 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: Devonte Adams midway through the season, he becomes Aaron Rodgers 807 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: go to guy because they've been tight and have had 808 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: that report and still Garrett Wilson does this right Key Shawn, 809 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: because this is the kind of receiver he is kind 810 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: of a Key Shawn two point zero. He's a big 811 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: red zone threat. He is a guy that will catch 812 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 1: the ball over the middle. He will catch the ball deep, 813 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: he will catch the ball in a deep out. He 814 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: will he can run any pattern and do anything you need. 815 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 3: Him to do. 816 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 1: He's not a guy that has a big specialty. He's 817 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: not a guy that, well, we're gonna he's a deep threat. 818 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: He's a guy that's going to move the chains. He 819 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: can do everything. That's the key showing part of this. 820 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: He is the most underrated receiver. 821 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 3: In the NFL. 822 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't think you got a lot of 823 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: pushback on this because, yeah, look at what he's been 824 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: able to put up despite the fact that he's playing 825 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: with guys that most of them have just been absolutely terrible. 826 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: And still he's got eighty three ninety five hundred and 827 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: one catches by the time he's twenty four years old. No, 828 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: but we watched him and certainly last year, like I 829 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: had to go back and look at the twenty twenty 830 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: four average draft position, the expectation was that things would 831 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: click with Rogers, so he was still seventh overall, So 832 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: fantasy owners were certainly buying into your jets even if 833 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: well and a lot of pundits did too. At the 834 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Yeah, you know, things happened along the way. 835 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 1: Funny thing happened on the way. But he put up 836 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: huge numbers and what he'll be curious to see. And 837 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: this is also last year he has Adams alongside it, 838 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: but this year he got nothing, got a rookie and 839 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: Mason Taylor come in. As you're tight end, Josh Reynolds 840 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: is your number two. He's catching all the passes, all 841 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: of them. Lazard's still under Conte. Yeah, but they're trying 842 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: to they're trying to get rid of. Is he gonna 843 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh? You would think Garrett Garrett Wilson. There 844 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: There is no bigger difference between the team's number one 845 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: and number two wide receiver. 846 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 3: Than what's on the gym. 847 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: Malachai Corley, is he breakthrough? Just don't spike the ball 848 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: before you parf. 849 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 3: The goal line. I mean that Exhale said it off. 850 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: But that's that's what I'm setting up here, is that 851 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: you put up those kind of numbers, and we watched 852 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: great struggles for that offense. Curious with the dual backfield 853 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: whether that actually helps in the process here, Justin Fields 854 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: is just a massive wild card because we've seen some 855 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: pretty good spots. Even in Pittsburgh last year, he got 856 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: I think unfairly demoted. I never seen saw the field 857 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: again after Russell Wilson took over. But now you have 858 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: the opportunity with a guy like Wilson, you can put 859 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: the ball up and he's gonna go get it. And 860 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: he's a guy with great familiarity history. Together will make 861 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: things easy for the OC. I want to say, don't 862 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: be nervous about him this year because even though Justin 863 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: Fields is the quarterback, clearly he's got his guy now, yeah, 864 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: that he was with in college. This is going to continue. 865 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: Like I'm not nervous about him at all, because again, 866 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: look at some of the other guys he did it with, 867 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: and he's still a guy who's catching one hundred passes 868 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: a year. The guy, he's just that good man, most 869 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: underrated receiver in the NFL. 870 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 3: Well, he got paid as he should be commensurately with 871 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 3: his acumen and what the expectations are going forward because 872 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 3: they don't need any holdout issues with the other Jets history. 873 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: They have more NFL on the way, but coming up 874 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: next the big news surrounding Lebron James and the Lakers. 875 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: That's next, right here, Chason of Mike Fox Sports Radio
