Speaker 1: about later. I know. Yeah, shocker April regular season baseball. Well,

13

Speaker 1: Gavin has a good comparison, called it kind of a

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Lakers Clippers ish rivalry. God he did. It was a

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: good game. And uh, listen, who doesn't love some baseball?

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: And by the way, the NBA, we love to talk

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: about that, but my gosh, is every single player in

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the league hurt? Donovan Mitchell goes down yesterday. Now, I

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: will admit this is a little sad, but you know

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: what we do on this radio show A lot of

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: truth telling and honesty, no need to fake the funk

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: were We made the playoffs in my son's fantasy basketball league,

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: his first season doing NBA Fantasy. Yes, it is a

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: pay league, so we're very active on the waiver wire.

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: And in the first round of the playoffs, we are

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: playing a team that has done done Donovan Mitchell. So

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: as much as we enjoy watching the Jazz and they're no.

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Number one seed, Donovan Mitchell goes down and I say

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: to my side, oh my gosh, we're gonna have a

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: shot next week to get in the money. And you know,

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: we kind of got all excited. And it's sad, but

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: that's the reality in the NBA where it feels like

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: of the league is injured. Now you want to say,

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: maybe a bunch of guys are load managing. But Clippers

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Sixers last night, good game on paper. Clippers now number

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: one in the East, and Kauai is out and Paul

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: George is ill, but he plays anyway. Playoff p did

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: not get it done. Clippers lose again. A lot of

39
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: people who watched Undisputed Friday, they went to the bullpen

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: for me and LaVar Arrington. Chris Broussard, Greg Jennings and

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: I went after the Clippers, and my gosh, I have

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: not seen an angry lot on social media like that.

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: In a minute, y'all are angry Clippers fans out here

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: in l A. Oh boy, just just get ready for

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: disappointment in the playoffs. But I want to start the

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: show with the NFL Draft. We're now less than two

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: weeks away for the NFL Draft. Should be a good draft,

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: and I do find it funny how as we get

49
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: closer the MATC. Jones stuff starts to crystallize and then

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, poof, it's gone. And you look

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: at the gambling markets, and as you guys know, again,

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: we've been all over gambling on the show since it started,

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: I believe five years ago, five and a half years

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: ago this this Saturday morning show started, and we've always

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: incorporated gambling. We will do NFL Draft gambling on this

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: show next Saturday. The markets are fluctuating wildly, and last

57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: weekend it was like, wait a sec, how is Matt

58
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: Jones the favorite to be the third pick to the Niners.

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Something doesn't add up, And we struck by our guns

60
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: on the show and said Justin Fields is the guy.

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I went on Colin Cowherd show, Justin Fields is the guy.

62
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: What happened forty eight hours ago? All of a sudden,

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Justin Field starts to move up as the favorite to

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: go number three. He went to minus one, meaning you

65
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: got about a hundred twenty bucks and one a hundred.

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Then he went to minus one fifty And what is

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: that coming from? Well? Smoke screen season? You guys know

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: how it works. The agents, the teams, everybody's feeding bad

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: info to the media so they can get the guy

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: they want. They can put out false alarms to get

71
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: people thinking, well, this is gonna happen, and it's kind

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: of fun. I enjoy it greatly and trying to decipher

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: what's fact from fiction. He's fun. But Justin Fields through it.

74
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: His pro day looked very, very good, and you just

75
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: start to wonder, like, wait a minute, how much of

76
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: this is We only had one season of Mac Jones.

77
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't beat out Jalen Hurts for the job. He

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: couldn't beat out to it for the job. He's a

79
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: good quarterback, but we only have one season of data

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: on him. Now you look at Justin Fields and he's

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: a two year starter, And if you want to get

82
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: real nitpicky, you can go back to when he was

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: at Georgia as the backup as a freshman, and he

84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: came in for a bunch of spot duty and it's like, oh, well,

85
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: are we dealing with paralysis by analysis here? The more

86
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: tape you have on somebody, the more you can pick apart.

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: We've forgotten that Matt Jones as a junior started against

88
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: Auburn after two it was injured, and he threw two

89
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: pick six is there were over seventy yards. One was

90
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: a one yard pick six through two of them in

91
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: that game. Go call up Alabama verse Auburn nineteen and

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: you'll see Mac Jones totally vomit all over himself in

93
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: a big spot in a huge rivalry game. And he

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of talent around him. And I know, Jason, Hey,

95
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: come on, it was only like his second or third start.

96
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: You know you can't really ding him that much. Okay, fine, Well,

97
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Justin Fields if he was eligible for the draft after

98
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: his UH, I guess it would be his junior year

99
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: because of the transfer um. Justin Fields had forty one

100
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns and three picks. Go look at that tape, he

101
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: was utterly dominant. I mean, Justin Fields is a really

102
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: talented quarterback and you put him in that Kyle Shanahan

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: system in San Franz, Deebo, Samuel George Kittle, that running game.

104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I believe San Francisco is going to make a quantum

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: leap right back into the mix in the NFC. And

106
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: we did talk about this on Undisputed Friday. Guys, I

107
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: mean after Tampa Bay, which could go seventeen and oh,

108
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: we will talk about that later. After Tampa Bay, who's

109
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: good in the NFC. I don't know if I want

110
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: to hear the Packers. I really don't know if I

111
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: want to hear about this back to back NFC title games,

112
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: which were losses. I had Charles Robinson on my Straight

113
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Fire podcast this week. He talked about a beef between

114
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the GM. I mean Aaron Rodgers standing

115
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: around like, hold up, I was really good two years ago.

116
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: We get to the NFC title game and you draft

117
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: my future, you draft the Packers future quarterback in the

118
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: first round, and then a back when we have a

119
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: really really good run in Aaron Jones like what are

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: you doing? And then Aaron Jones fumbles and it's awful

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, and they keep him, they

122
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: sign it to another contract. So what do you It's

123
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: really unclear what the Packers phone office is doing. And

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers wins the m v P and do they

125
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: help him on offense in free agency? Nope, loses the center.

126
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: It's like, what is the game plan here? I can

127
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: see the Packers falling back a little bit. I don't

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: think anybody bought buys anybody in the NFC East. And

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: then you're talking about Matt Stafford and the Rams. You know,

130
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm very bullish on that team. Arizona. Can they make

131
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: to jump from content, you know, pretty good regular season

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: team with an exciting quarterback and a lot of talent

133
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: to contender. It's a big jump. And then of course

134
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: you have Seattle where Russell Wilson is gonna show up

135
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: at camp and he's gonna get the side I from

136
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: half his teammates because of all his offseason comments. The

137
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: Saints lost. Drew breathes like, it's like the NFS. He's

138
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: really really shallow. I can see San Francisco. I don't

139
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: know if justin Field starts, it's by all accounts are

140
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: keeping Jimmy g and you give me that healthy defense

141
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and San Friends jumping right back. So I didn't ever

142
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: buy the mac Jones is the guy. I'm sorry, I

143
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: just don't. I still think he falls a little bit.

144
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't. And it's weird because I say the word

145
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: falls and it's like, well, is mac Jones is gonna

146
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: fall if he goes fifteen? Not really, because two months

147
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: ago and three months ago and during the season, mac

148
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: Jones was like a marginal first round quarterback and yeah,

149
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: maybe he sneaks into the first round. But I don't

150
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: think you can just call the forty niners part of

151
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: smoke screen season because what about the Bengals? And we

152
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: will talk to a Bengals beat writer later in the show,

153
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: because I feel like they kind of hold the key

154
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to the draft. Falcons at four is going to be fascinating,

155
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: but it's starting to look less and less like they'll

156
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: take a quarterback. So then you're looking at five and

157
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: it's like, well, how much input does Joe Burrow have

158
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: because his guy Jamar Chase, who if you go look

159
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: at any of the tape from twenty nineteen, Jamaar Chase

160
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow were like an incredible combination. LSU had

161
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: a historically gay run, and it's like, Okay, do you

162
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: get JR. Mar Chase because A. J. Green's gone? Or

163
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: do you get an offensive lineman? And I had thought

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: all along, it's gotta be pene soul, It's gotta be

165
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. It's like, Okay, you start analyzing their

166
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: moves in free agency and you start saying, huh, Jonah Williams.

167
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: They did take him in the first round two years ago.

168
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of starting to think Jamar Chases the move.

169
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm not huge on taking small wide receivers in the

170
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: first round. Jamar Chase not a tiny receiver like the

171
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Alabama guys. And speaking of the Alabama guys, have you

172
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: looked at the odds at all, Gavin? For the Alabama receivers,

173
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk that they're gonna go

174
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: six and eight and seven and nine and now both

175
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: there over under is eleven and a half. And I

176
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: don't have it right in front of you, but I

177
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: think that Aiants are drafting at eleven and there was

178
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: all this smoke screen this week. Oh or the Giant's

179
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna go receiver at eleven. Well, they just got Kenny Golladay.

180
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: They just added a second tight end in Kyle Rudolph,

181
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: They have Sterling Shepherd, they got a pretty good receiving corps.

182
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Why are they adding a five ft nine pound receiver

183
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: at eleven? Like that doesn't make sense. I believe that's

184
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: another smoke screen and people all of a sudden they're

185
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna see Waddle and Smith fall and it's gonna be like,

186
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he's super talented. Receivers are falling. No,

187
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: you don't draft. Look at the history. History can be

188
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: your guide here. People. You don't draft five ft ten

189
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: d seventy five pound receivers in the top ten. You

190
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: just don't. It never works out well, it just doesn't. Yes,

191
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: five ft ten pound receivers can be dynamic in the league,

192
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: but not guys you're driving the top time ten because

193
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: they're going to bad teams and the injury risk is

194
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: too high. So I just love everything about draft season

195
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: or less than two weeks to the draft. And I

196
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: do want to wrap up real quick with a word

197
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence. And if you've watched any college football

198
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: over the last three years, you know Trevor Lawrence is

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: a superstar. He's just start waiting to happen, and he's

200
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of been a forgotten man during this draft process

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: because it's automatic that he's going number one to Jacksonville.

202
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: There was a moment where when Justin fields through six

203
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: TVs against Clemson, Oh, it's gonna be a decision for

204
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: urban Meyer at one. No, it's never a decision for

205
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: urban Meyer. Trevor Lawrence is the guy. So he's like

206
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: not been talked about at all. So then he goes

207
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: to Sports Illustrated and comes out with, hey, man, football

208
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: is not my identity. I love it, but I'm not gonna,

209
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, go out here saying I've got to prove

210
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: so and so wrong and I've got a chip on

211
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: my shoulder like that stuff is nonsense. And I subtly,

212
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: subtly wonder if that was about Baker Mayfield and how

213
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: he had gone number one recently and he had this

214
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: gigantic chip on his shoulder as a career underdog that

215
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: you know what, there is no way in hell anybody

216
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: believes in me, So I'm gonna prove them wrong. And

217
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I love to tell the story about how on this

218
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: show leading up to the draft. I said, you know,

219
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: like if the Brown say Baker won, it's not gonna

220
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: end well for them. It just won't. And you know,

221
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: we posted it on social media and within like an hour,

222
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield liked the tweet from Fox Sports Radio about

223
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. It's not gonna go well. Brown shouldn't take

224
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: him one, and like that's what he was doing. He

225
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: didn't have the inner motivation to just go out and

226
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: crush it. He had to use these subtle slights. And

227
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: it goes back to like high school and college recruiting

228
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: and being like the number six quarterback on the depth

229
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: chart of Texas Tech as a freshman and then everybody

230
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: in front of him got hurt. He plays is really

231
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: good and they didn't offer them in the scholarship because

232
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: everybody else got healthy. And he's still like angry about that.

233
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: So he has to transfer Oklahoma and he's lights out

234
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: and he's saying, you nobody believed in me. I'm here,

235
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: like how long can you? How fun can you take this?

236
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, like I get the chip on the shoulder.

237
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: If you're Tom Brady sixth round, you can name every

238
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: quarterback drafted in front of you. I can get the chip.

239
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: If you're Aaron Rodgers who was talked about going one,

240
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: then sat in the green room and fell to twenty,

241
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: and he was ticked about everybody. But you're Baker Mayfield,

242
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: you got drafted first, Like, like, why are you carrying

243
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: a chip from five years ago on your shoulder? You won,

244
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: Buddy Baker won a Heisman, Baker took Oklahoma to the playoff.

245
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Baker went number one overall, Like you won. Trevor Lawrence

246
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: is he think he already sees the maturity And there's

247
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: no value in carrying a chip on your shoulder. It

248
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: just doesn't work for everybody. Some people. Again, if you're

249
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Brady and you were like the ninth quarterback on the

250
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: depth chart of Michigan and then you fell to the

251
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: sixth round in the draft of Russell Wilson drafted in

252
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: the third round, I get that you can't manufacture a

253
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: chip if your first overall, you can't. You can't fake it.

254
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson end of the first round Heisman, people said

255
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: maybe he should transfer uh quarterback to wide receiver, he

256
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: should change positions. I think the former Colts GM said

257
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: that who Uh is now at ESPN? Like, yeah, I

258
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: can understand trying to prove that guy wrong. But at

259
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: some point Lamar went Jackson wins at m vps, like yo,

260
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: I got nothing else to prove. So Trevor Lawrence really

261
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: gets it. And and I'm not gonna go overboard. We'll

262
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk over unders because the over unders came out

263
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: on Friday morning in the NFL. But I'll tell you

264
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: right now, and Gavin, maybe this is a little recency bias,

265
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: but I like some of the moves the Jags did

266
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: in the off season. I think there's some talent. I

267
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: think urban Meyer is gonna surprise the people. And I'm

268
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: looking hard at that over six wins. Now, do you

269
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: have to remember seventeen games this season Kenny win six? Right,

270
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: and again they're gonna do it. Seems like I don't

271
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: know if we know about the Jags yet on the

272
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: voluntary workouts thing, so it could be very similar to

273
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: last year where not a lot of practice. My only thought,

274
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: because I actually agree with you a lot on the

275
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence thing. He's never had doubters in his life.

276
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: He's never had um. He's had haters, I'm sure, but

277
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: he's never had doubters because he's always been the number

278
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: one guy, going back to when he was in high school.

279
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: So I do wonder when the doubters do emerge, if

280
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: they start oh and two, oh and three, what is

281
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: that like? Yeah, and and it'll be interesting. He's going

282
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: from being the toast of college football for what three years,

283
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: basically like the man, and now he's like not on

284
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the radar in Jacksonville, you know, like they're not getting

285
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: any Marquee TV games. It's like Jacksonville, you know. And

286
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm not slamming Jacksonville, but that's the reality. Like Jacksonville

287
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: is an NFL outpost. Well, the other thing is the

288
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: NFL is a league where there are so many enticing

289
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: storylines to sell a game. It's not like like Baseball

290
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Yesterday is going Kay Padre's Dodgers, we need that on

291
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: every Sunday Night. Yankees Red Sox isn't doing what what

292
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: with Padre's Dodgers, tisted, But the NFL you can sell

293
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and Carolina on him Monday, you know. So yeah, Trevor,

294
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: you you still gotta win, you know, Yeah, he does

295
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: have to win. I think they will not immediately, but

296
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: they Trevor Lawrence is the guy folks. I mean it

297
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: almost just like I can't wait for NFL because free

298
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: agency was good. I think the draft is gonna be good,

299
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: and then there's this malaise with the NBA playoffs. Step

300
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: in and they better be good because I have some concerns.

306
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: stock market, and uh, I have a feeling Gavin is

307
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: gonna be able to chime in on this one. Gavin,

308
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: you loaded up on doge coin right? Oh? Yeah? Did

309
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: you notice that it went parabolic yesterday? It's insane. I

310
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: love it. Okay, what on earth is driving it? I

311
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: think primarily Elon Must? I think just what did Elon

312
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Must tweet about it? Or actually I think the other thing?

313
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Was there something with coin base, which is a major base?

314
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah right? And uh so yeah it is sword and look,

315
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you can make fun of it all you want. Let

316
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: me just tell you that if you put uh thirty

317
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: dollars into it just a few months ago, that's now

318
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: worth close to two just extract. So here's the question. Okay.

319
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: And it's funny because when coin based ipo came out

320
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: it was so massive it starts to feel like bitcoin

321
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: has legitimacy, right, and this whole cryptocurrency stuff, it's it's popping.

322
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: So I start looking around and I'm like, wait a

323
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: secon hold up, hold up. Just three years ago bitcoin

324
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: dropped seventy in value. In between, um, it just plummeted significantly.

325
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: So you know, my ten year old is kind of

326
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: into this stuff, and he's like, wants to understand. I say,

327
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: here's your first job, find out why the heck bitcoin dropped.

328
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: And it looks like November is when the plummet began,

329
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: and we couldn't find the reason. Gavin, And this is

330
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: the problem for me with a lot of this cryptocurrency.

331
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: The answers aren't easily found, and understanding a lot of

332
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: this stuff, it just doesn't really makes sense. I agree,

333
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't mean you can't

334
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: go along for the right. Yeah. I mean early sen

335
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: late is when I bought bitcoin, and it was I'd

336
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: have to check, I think it was around seventeen K

337
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: at the time. So I sold a bunch during the

338
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: pandemic when like in this around like January, Um, because

339
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: it had soared so much it got over to like fifty.

340
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: Now it's over sixty, so um, it feels like you're

341
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: buying two eyes. So it's like I want to avoid it.

342
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: But then it's like, well, this could go to a

343
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: hundred absolutely, and people think that with the doge coin

344
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: that it could get to a dollar. You know, yeah,

345
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what's behind doge Co. I have no idea. Um,

346
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: I missed the boat on that, but I kind of

347
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: wanted to back into the NBA with that because I

348
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: don't really know what's driving all these injuries, and it's disturbing.

349
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was a condensed off season. I thought, okay,

350
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's two many games. Just they're doing four games

351
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: a week here in April. That ain't good. I know,

352
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: I know they used to do it all the time. Hello.

353
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: The league is a lot different, The style of play

354
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: is a lot different. It's just up and down paste, paste, paste,

355
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: where I have a very random observation on this three

356
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: point situation, but it's basically like you're just running up

357
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: and down the floor as fast as possible and jacking

358
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: threes early in the shot clock. Possessions are way up,

359
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: scoring way up. And I don't know, like, how can

360
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: the league handle these injuries? Because I'm not kidding guys.

361
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: You if you pick the top twenty guys in the league,

362
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: whoever you think they are, I would say them have

363
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: missed at least five games this year. The one guy

364
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: who hasn't is Nicola Yoki and he, of course is

365
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: like the doughy European dude who is in the least

366
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: great shape of all these guys, and he's not getting hurt.

367
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: And of course Yokich as a result, is kind of

368
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the default leader for the m v P Award. And

369
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: I say default, and I know people are gonna like

370
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: to hear that, But okay, and beat has missed like,

371
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty games, Lebron has missed too many,

372
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: Harden's missed some Andy um you know, came over from Houston,

373
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: so some people are gonna dock him for that. But

374
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: just about anybody, by the way, Janice hasn't played in

375
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: like over two weeks, and anybody you want to mention

376
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: as the MVP is like has been injured. I mean,

377
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a case for Steph Curry, and I'm

378
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: sure people are going to scoff at that and be like, oh,

379
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: you're a I can't say that on air, but um,

380
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: they're just not winning. That's the only reason Russell West

381
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: Cook didn't win when he had the triple double. I know,

382
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Curry's not averaging a trouble double, but he's averaging like

383
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: thirty nine points of game in April. The other thing

384
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Russell had was he had that record and he had

385
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot of moments like that were kind of MVP moments, right,

386
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: And Steph Curry hasn't. I mean, he's gone. Any night

387
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: you watched him, it feels can you go for sixty?

388
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: That's the deal? Like, yeah, you're getting those texts where

389
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, Curry's cooking. He's got thirty

390
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: at halftime. You may want to turn this on, but

391
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: they're going to lose. They're probably gonna lose. Um, he

392
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: gave somebody fifty and then he had like forty two

393
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter and or the fourth quarter,

394
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: gets up off the bench to go back in and

395
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: see curse, Like, what are you doing? You're not going in?

396
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: We're up by twenty I think that was the Oklahoma

397
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: City game. Was it the okay is drop is putting

398
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: out some dudes? They were like, no, I mean Yeahvin,

399
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: go look at an Oklahoma City box score. You're gonna

400
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: be like, who is that? And then you click on it,

401
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, there's a third year guy from Tulsa

402
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: who was undrafted and you're like what what Hey, they've

403
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: got draft picks. Though they got draft picks. Sam Presty

404
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: is going to bed at night happy with the draft

405
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: picks under his pillow. He's all geeked about him. Fox

Speaker 1: I confess I have not watched Jeopardy since Alex Trebeck past.

411
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: I know that probably makes me like not a hardcore

412
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Jeopardy guy or whatever, um, but I just wanted to say, like,

413
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: I haven't watched Jeopardy all right, Uh? Coming up now?

414
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: Joining the show, he covers the Tampa Bay Bucks, and

415
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: I just wonder if this is a team that really

416
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: can go seventeen and no, because we had Greg Bdard

417
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: floated a few weeks ago here and you look at

418
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: them returning all twenty two starters. They made a nice

419
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: pick up this week. So let's bring in t J.

420
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: Reeves Bucks sideline reporter, Um, t J? How are you man?

421
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: Always good to be with my Fox Sports radio brothers.

422
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: As I'm an alumni, I was on Saturdays for so long,

423
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: so it feels like old times. Good to be with you,

424
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: and it's good to field calls about can the Bucks

425
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: repeat potentially a Super Bowl champions? Were not used to that. Yes,

426
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: this is a new frontier in Tampa. It's all we

427
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: We give all the credit to Brady, right, I mean,

428
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: the owner, the coach, the GM. They've all done a

429
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: nice job. But this is all Tom Brady, is it not.

430
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: It's it's a large portion of it. It's tough to

431
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: deny that. But one thing we preached at this time

432
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I think I was on with

433
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: you at least once during the offseason, is people did

434
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: not understand how good the roster was, I mean front

435
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: to back, including on defense, that this team was ready

436
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: to win. And he understood that. Brady understood that last

437
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: March when he was evaluating this situation versus the Las

438
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders versus the Los Angeles Chargers roster, it was

439
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: a no brainer to look at not just Mike Evans,

440
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Grant coming out of retirement, Cameron brad already

441
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: on the roster, Ronald Jones already on the roster, the

442
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: offensive line intact. But to look on the defensive side

443
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: of the ball at Shaq Barrett, and look at Lavonte

444
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: David and and know about Devin White, who just blossomed

445
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: in his second year as a former top five pick.

446
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: He understood that about this roster year. And guess what kids.

447
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: They have brought everybody back, which is remarkable for this year.

448
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Can they stay healthy that's another question. But all twenty

449
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: two starters back from a year ago. They lost no

450
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: one to free agency or having to release anyone for

451
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: the salary cap, et cetera. So that's good news. Now.

452
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: I tried to look this up, t J. Has it

453
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: ever been done a Super Bowl champ returns all twenty

454
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: two starters. I couldn't find it. You're correct in the

455
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: free agency era, and that's the line of demarcation where

456
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: players could leave because remember before ninety four you were

457
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: basically uh in perpetual servitude to your team that drafted

458
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: you unless they cut you. That's it. There was no

459
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: free agency until so, whether you were playing for the

460
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: Steelers who were always good or the Buccaneers who were

461
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: always awful, you were. You were with that team until

462
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: they didn't launch you, until they cut you were traded

463
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: you well once the free agency movement could come in

464
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: and ninety four it has never been the case twenty

465
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: eight seasons later that a team in the free agency

466
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: era kept all twenty two of its starters. And again

467
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: you mentioned the GM, Jason Lyte and his staff, Mike Greenberg,

468
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: all those guys. We did a great job with the

469
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: salary cap to understand and have the fourth thought a

470
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: year ago, two years ago, how do we keep all

471
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: of this intact? And and frankly, Jason, they got players

472
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: to buy in and take less money. That's a whole

473
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: another discussion we could have for a few minutes. But

474
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: you've got several guys back like in Dominican sue, like

475
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett, that could have made more money somewhere else,

476
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: but they know they've got a chance to win here

477
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: but couldn't. Don't I know you want to say that,

478
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, everybody took less money, but I think Tom

479
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 1: Brady basically took less money. And you know, every other

480
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league is trying to cobble together as

481
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: many millions as they can, which hinders the roster and

482
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: Brady saying I'm not Brady is not a top five

483
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: paid quarterback next year, is he? Well, but here's the

484
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: here's the truth about all of it. A game. We

485
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: don't have thirty minutes to go into the NFL salary captainet.

486
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: It's worse than the tax code, it's worse than the

487
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen guidelines from the CDC and trying to read

488
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: all of that. The bottom line is he's getting top

489
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: ten money for this year. He just got it immediately

490
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: in the form of a signing bonus because they redid

491
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: his deal and they spread the signing bonus out over

492
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: like four or five more years. Do any of us

493
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: honestly believe he's playing four or five more years? Likely? No,

494
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: most likely no. But they spread the money out. But

495
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: still he got his cash for one. I don't know

496
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: if there's gonna be a two Jason, but he's getting paid.

497
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: He he reworked it because he saw this is how

498
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: we keep Chris Godwin, This is how we keep Shack

499
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: Barrett and make him one of the top five defensive

500
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: ends paid in the league. This is this is how

501
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: we keep the band together. Um. And it's not about

502
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: the money anymore for him. We know this. He's making

503
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars off the field, including with

504
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: his wife's business interests. This is about the legacy. Can

505
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: I win one more? Too? Straight away from New England

506
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: that it's the legacies bigger than the dollars. It's crazy

507
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: how wealthy he is and how much success he's had

508
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: in the ability he can say that, yeah, I don't

509
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: need I don't need the money this year, Let's spread

510
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: it out over five. Very similar to Jason McIntyre. They

511
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: sold their New York apartment that they were never going

512
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: to use again for like thirty one million dollars. Very

513
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: similar to your real estate. Not accurate, Um, but let

514
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: so let me ask you about this. Seventeen or no, Uh,

515
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is gone the division. I don't want to

516
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: say Atlanta's rebuilding, but they have a new head coach.

517
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna give it a go here Carolina. You

518
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: know they're on the come up. I like what they're doing,

519
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: but they're not there. Who's the second best team in

520
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: the NFC. That's a great question. And obviously you've got

521
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: teams like the Packers, like the Rams that now have

522
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: Stafford out west where you are. The Seahawks with Russell

523
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: Wilson are always going to be dangerous, etcetera, etcetera. So

524
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean there are teams that can definitely play with them. Uh.

525
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: The schedule is interesting because it's the a f C

526
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: East as the opposite conference this year. That means Buffalo

527
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: and the Jets come here. That means to die. You

528
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: go to the Dolphins and the Patriots g I wonder

529
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: if that's going to be a primetime game Brady at

530
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: New England. Probably Uh. And then you also play the

531
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: the NFC East again and the Dallas Cowboys and the

532
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: New York Giants come calling for Tampa Bay. But you

533
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia to Washington. So that's the thrust of

534
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: the schedule. Uh. And they obviously added one more opponent

535
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: too with the seventeenth game. It is so tough to

536
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: have that around your neck figuratively from the beginning of

537
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: can you win them all? And you gotta see here

538
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, what does the early schedule look like?

539
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: How many tough teams right in a row at the

540
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: beginning of the of the early schedule of trying to

541
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: make something like that happened. But these are fun things

542
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: to kick around right now. For the Bucks, NFC East

543
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: and the Fast probably the weakest divisions in their respective conferences.

544
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm cu is, I guess you know. When you look

545
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: at how the the Bucks started last year, there was

546
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: some sputtering. Obviously, new playbook for Brady, new team, a

547
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: lot of new parts. But once they got hot at

548
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: the end, and then they went on that playoff run,

549
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: winning four three on the road and dismantling Kansas City,

550
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: they started to look like a juggernaut. There's no reason

551
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: to think that that won't carry over until next year,

552
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: right well, And believe me when I tell you that

553
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the attitude the the it starts with Bruce arians and

554
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: his staff and Todd Bowles, who's a former head coach

555
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: obviously with the Jets, and Byron Leftwich, who will be

556
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: a head coach at some point. They've kind of set

557
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: the tone that last year is last year. And we

558
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: are coming back in with the attitude that you're you're

559
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: starting with nothing, zero on the scoreboard, zero in the

560
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: win column. And Brady's gonna do that too. Brady's gonna

561
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: police that as well with Hey, we did this over

562
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: and over again in New England with the same approach

563
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: that even though you've won it last year, and everybody

564
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: believes you're gonna win ten, eleven, twelve games in the

565
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: regular season, and it's not just gonna be handed to you.

566
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: You start with zero. You start at zero. So I

567
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be an issue. I really don't.

568
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: And you've got a lot of veterans on both sides

569
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: of the ball that realized something special could happen here.

570
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: I know you're talking about stratosphere of seventeen and oh

571
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: in a regular season which because of the contract of

572
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: the schedule being extended, nobody's ever gone seventeen, and the

573
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Patriots with sixteen and oh and then lost in the

574
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and obviously the Dolphins of the last team

575
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: to be fourteen and oh. But ma'am, we'll look that's

576
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: on the moon, Jason. That's like Pluto to talk about

577
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: getting to a chance straight win a twelve straight win

578
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: to begin a season, if it can happen. Well, he's

579
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: always trying to hype the NFL. I guess final question.

580
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't want this to come off bad about Jameis Winston,

581
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: but I guess by saying that it automatically does man

582
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: you what you said about the strength of the roster

583
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: early on has any thinking my gosh, um, Well, I

584
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: guess Winston just is not that good of a quarterback.

585
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: He can't raise the level of everyone else around him,

586
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: which is what the elite quarterbacks do. Well, let me

587
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: tell you, I've had this conversation so many times that

588
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: you everybody else on the year off the year talented? Yes, no,

589
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: no question, there is talent there. The inability to stop

590
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to the other team is what did

591
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: undid him in Tampa. Pick after pick after interception after interception.

592
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: He could not stay away from it, and Bruce arians

593
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: and Byron left, which couldn't help him fix it. So

594
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: maybe he can fix it in New Orleans with Sean Payton,

595
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not gonna work there or not. I

596
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: will tell you this, he will not have a very

597
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: long leash in New Orleans if he gets the chance

598
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: if he's throwing up all to the other team. I

599
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: saw it too many times as he did. All right,

600
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: he's at buck sideline guy on Twitter A t J.

601
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. Have a great weekend, and I'm sure

Speaker 1: s R to listen live back here on Fox Sports Radio.

612
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: It looks like kind of a quiet weekend in in sports, Gavin,

613
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: did you watch The Masters at all last weekend? I

614
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: watched more on Thursday and Friday. I tuned out over

615
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: the weekend because it was such a runaway and it

616
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: wasn't that thrilling in terms of who was there. You know,

617
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: if if speed would have would have made more of

618
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: a run, that would have been more exciting. Yeah, I'm

619
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: with you. I I watched significantly less than that. I

620
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: cannot remember turning the TV on and watching any of

621
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: it really because it was just the names at the

622
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: top were not interesting for me. On the weekend, no Tiger,

623
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: And there was also a little bit of we just

624
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: had a Masters. It was kind of weird. We love

625
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I love the Masters, it's, you know, one of the tournaments,

626
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, but we just had in November two, so

627
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like yeah, I agreed at the time.

628
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: You know, you're right watching it in November, and then

629
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: again now it's like, you know, it's kind of like, listen,

630
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into ratings a little bit later in

631
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: the show. And the Master's ratings were the worst I

632
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: believe in twenty eight years. Uh, the tournament were the

633
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: worst ratings ever in the Championship game ever, like worse

634
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: than Virginia Texas Tech, which is actually a pretty good

635
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago. And NBA ratings are

636
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: down shocker. Um. I don't think we could just attribute

637
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: this to social issues, like something else is up and

638
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: we'll we'll dive into a little bit later in the show.

639
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: I do want to quickly talk to about you know

640
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: how the n c A tournament like, we loved it.

641
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: We gambled on it heavily. We had a successful run.

642
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: We talked about a lot on the show. But when

643
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: you start looking at the draft and impact players like,

644
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: for for instance, um Zion Williamson, who was like a

645
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: slam dunk obvious number one pick in he's been like

646
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: a transcendent player. I know a lot of people are like, oh,

647
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: come on, Jason, he's not that good. That's because you're

648
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: not what. First of all, they stink because you know,

649
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: there's just not a lot of talent on that team.

650
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not a big believer in stan Van Gundy

651
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: right now, but the number Zion's putting up are insane.

652
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: John Morant is going to have Memphis probably in the

653
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. R J Barrett. These guys went top

654
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: three and twenty nineteen r J Barrett nicks there in

655
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. DeAndre Hunter has shown well in Atlanta. UM

656
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: and the rest of the top ten there really hasn't

657
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: done anything. But if you look at this past draft,

658
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: you get a lot of the same stuff, like wait

659
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: a second, um Anthony Edwards like putting up great numbers

660
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: on an awful team. Patrick Williams with the Bulls is starting.

661
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: They're not even going to the playoffs. I mean, the

662
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: Bulls are just cratering right now and Zach Levine's out.

663
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: It's disturbing. And you look at the rest of the

664
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: top ten, a lot of guys not really doing much yet.

665
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Haliburton for Sacramento was playing very well. So I spent

666
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: it forward to this draft and I really like this

667
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: draft guys. Jalen Suggs, by the way, from Gonzaga is

668
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: a stunt. I did a mock draft for Fox Sports.

669
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: I had him number one. Now, if you isolate that

670
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: Baylor game, you're like, well, is he that awesome? But

671
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the rest of his Kazagger teammates, Timmy and kiss Ber,

672
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: they looked, I mean, just overwhelmed by Baylor's talent and speed.

673
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: Jalen Suggs was there, and you go back to that

674
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: U c l A game. He was incredible at both ends.

675
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: Guys are really high end basketball player. I like Suggs

676
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: a lot. I like Kate Cunningham a lot. Couldn't get

677
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: it done by himself. I mean they lost to Oregon State,

678
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: but you'd never want to overreact to a final college

679
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: basketball game. Two guys that I'm gonna just mentioned quickly

680
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: James Harden for Arizona State. Go watch if you can

681
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: find out on YouTube, Arizona State Syracuse in the n

682
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: c A tournament. Harden was terrible. Harden was awful. It

683
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: just didn't he couldn't do anything against the Syracuse Zone.

684
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: And the other guy's Jalen Brown of the Boston Celtics.

685
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: And I know this because he worked out on my

686
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: gym leading up to the draft, and I knew he

687
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: was going to be working out because I know the trainer,

688
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: and I watched Cal Hawaii and the n c A

689
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: tournament closely. Jalen Brown was awful, putrid. I believe he

690
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: was one for six with seven turnovers, and he fouled

691
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: out in like eighteen minutes. I was like, jeez, this

692
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: guy that good. I mean, you know he's got the

693
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: metrics and the size and the length all that stuff measures,

694
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: but oh my gosh, that's a bad n A tournament kid.

695
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: And Jyleen Brown dropped forty for Boston the other night

696
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. He's definitely a foundational player. I think

697
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: he's ideally a number two on a championship winning team

698
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: or a championship contender. He's an awesome player, and I

699
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: just wanted to get this out there. Now, don't overreact

700
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: to the n c A tournament. When you're looking at

701
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: these NBA draft picks, you just you cannot do it.

702
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: There's just one game is far too little for a

703
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of these guys eyes who have had pretty good careers.

704
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: They've like, again, I'm not just looking at the freshman,

705
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: although freshman will dominate the top. Evan Mobley of USC

706
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: declared yesterday, I have him going to um Cam Thomas

707
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: of LSU just a scoring machine. I had him at six.

708
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: And it's basically all freshmen until you get to dev

709
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: On Mitchell of of of of Baylor, who I think

710
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: is the top ten guy. Now he was that good

711
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: in the n tournament. But is that an overreaction on

712
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: my part? Am I not overreacting enough on some guys

713
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: and overreacting too much on others? And I just I'm

714
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: a big draft guy. So I wanted to quickly get

715
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: that out there. But coming up in the next hour,

716
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: we got another good interview coming up, and again we're

717
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna dive into some of these ratings situations. It's not

718
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: looking good for sports in general. Fox Sports Radio has

724
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: in the books, and we have a guest coming up

725
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: right now just because I love the NFL Draft, and

726
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 1: I opened the show talking about smoke screen season and

727
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: what the Bengals might do. So we're gonna bring in

728
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Inquirer. Tyler, how are you man?

729
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for having me on. How

730
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: are you doing today? Yeah? Definitely, Um, I'm I'm I'm

731
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: enjoying what's going on at the top of the draft

732
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: and the Bengals are suddenly super intriguing because, let's be honest, Um,

733
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's former L s U teammate is sitting there,

734
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, immensely talented receiver. They got Kyle Pitts, an

735
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: awesome tight end, and that we know they need offensive

736
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: line help despite the moves in the off season. Tyler,

737
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: what is what's the latest? You're hearing on the Bengals

738
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: in the draft. Well, the latest some hearing is they

739
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: are targeting L. S. U. White receiver Jamaar Chase. Like

740
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: he just said, he's Joe Burrow's former teammate at LSC.

741
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: They won on a national championship run together. He won

742
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: the Friends in the Call Trophy at the best college

743
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: football wide receiver that year. So that's who I believe

744
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals will select with that number five pick. Now,

745
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: if I were their GM, would I do it? No,

746
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: I would draft Oregon tackle Peney School. I think um

747
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: offensive line is their biggest need and they've had a

748
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: sub mediocre offensive line for the last few years, So

749
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: I would address the offensive line with the number five pick.

750
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: But I think the Bengals are targeting L. S U.

751
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: Y receiver Jamar Chase. So Tyler, I guess A, what

752
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: leads you to believe that? And be does that mean

753
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: that you think Jonah Williams, the kid they drafted at

754
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: Obama can be their left tackle anchor? He was drafted,

755
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: what I think he missed the entire season and then

756
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: played last year. Yeah, he did miss um the entire

757
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine season with a shoulder injury. What leads me

758
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: to believe that is the moves that the Bengals made

759
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: this off season. They signed right tackle Riley Reef, and

760
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor said in a press conference last month that

761
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams was his starting left tackle and Riley Reef

762
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: was his starting right tackle. So based on the moves

763
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: that they made this off season, and also just rumors

764
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: that I'm hearing and sources that I have within the

765
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: organization just lead me to believe that they are targeting

766
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: uh Jamar Chase. And keep in mind, when the Bengals

767
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: were scouting and really going after Joe Burrow last season,

768
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: they watched every single snap that he had at L

769
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: s U. And when you're watching those snaps that Joe

770
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: Burrow had during his National Championship season, you're also seeing

771
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of passes he's throwing to Jabar Chase. So

772
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: they also were looking at Jabar Chase when they were

773
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: scouted Joe Burrow. So they've been liking him for a while.

774
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: And now that he is UH available with the probably

775
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: going to be available at the number five pick, I

776
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: see that happening and the Bengals have a hole at

777
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Zach Taylor likes to run an eleven personnel

778
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: style all offense, which is three wide receivers, one running

779
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: back in one tight end and A J. Green departed

780
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals this afseason, so the Bengals really

781
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: only have two starting caliber receivers and Tyler Boyd their

782
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: slot receiver and Tee Higgins on the outside. So you

783
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: have a hole where a J. Green was and a

784
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: bel leeve Jamaar. Chase has the ability to fill a J.

785
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: Green's shoes. Yeah. Now it's interesting, uh, Tyler. When you

786
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks on their rookie deals throughout the league,

787
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: the move lately has been let's overpay for a wide

788
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: receiver and free agency because they can have an immediate impact,

789
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: or let's trade for one DeAndre Hopkins Stefon Diggs. You

790
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: go up and down, and you know, other than the Ravens,

791
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: everybody's pretty much done that. Do you think Chase can

792
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: be a one alongside Boyd who's really a great slot

793
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: guy or emerging as a good slot I and then

794
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: Higgins on the outside, Man, it's really too early to tell.

795
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: I know that he has the skill set that I

796
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: saw in Baton Rouge to be a number one, but

797
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals don't necessarily need a number one. Why receiver

798
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd is their number one guy and Tee Higgins

799
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: proved last year that he is more than capable of

800
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: being a number two WY receiver. He almost had a

801
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving in his rookie season. And keep in

802
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 1: mind they still have Joe Mixing in the backfield, who

803
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: missed almost half the season with foot injury last year.

804
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: So the Bengals they have weapons, but adding a player

805
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: like Jamaar Chason the outside, he doesn't really have to

806
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: be at number one. He can be a number two

807
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: or even a third option for Joe Borrow. Interesting now

808
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: we're talk with Tyler Dragon Cincinnati inquired. You know, there

809
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: isn't really a guide to go in the draft of

810
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals this high. On the defensive side of the ball,

811
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals defense was objectionally bad last year,

812
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: with the exception late of the Pittsburgh game. You know

813
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: they I guess they were okay late in the season,

814
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: but you look at that roster. I mean, I like

815
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: to Trey Hendrickson moved, but other than that, is this

816
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: even a five team right now? Tyler, I don't believe.

817
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: So I have the Bengals winning about six games. And yeah,

818
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: as you just said, the defense wasn't that good. They

819
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: are bad at stopping the run. They're ok they have

820
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: okay pass defense led by Jesse Bas and Von Bill

821
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: their two safeties. But they did spend a lot of

822
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: money on the defensive side of the football, and they're

823
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: getting Trey Wayne's back. He missed all of last season

824
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: with a pectoral injury, so getting him back shadoube a woozier,

825
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: as well as the corner that they signed it free agency,

826
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: Dj Reader, who they signed to a big contract last year,

827
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: missed a big portion of the season with quadra steps injury.

828
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: So they're getting a lot of reinforcements back on the

829
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. So I do expect them

830
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better. But when you look

831
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: at the entire a f C North, they just don't

832
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: have the talent to compete for a playoff spot right

833
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: now and compete for a division title. I still think

834
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: that the division belongs to the Baltimore Ravens and then

835
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: probably second to Cleveland Browns. Inch WHOA I thought you'd

836
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: say Pittsburgh there, But which leads me to my next question. Um,

837
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I'm not gonna hammer Zack Taylor too much,

838
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: but all the stats on him are very bad. And

839
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: I know he did take over a you know, horrible team,

840
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: but he's six and one in two seasons, and I

841
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: just wonder. You know, you don't want to become the

842
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and be firing coaches every year, but Taylor's

843
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: really show nothing. Tyler, and I know you don't want

844
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: to start over with a new coach and a new

845
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: system with Joe Burrow, But is it fair to say

846
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: there's pressure on Zach Taylor and Cincinnati this year? Well,

847
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis was in Cincinnati for almost two decades for

848
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: him as much as you and I have, Yes, I

849
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: don't think there's um a lot of pressure on Zach

850
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: Taylor to this point. But if the Bengals continue to

851
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: have losing seasons on Joe Burrows rookie deal, I can

852
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: see next year if there again uh five, four, maybe

853
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: even six win team that Zach Taylor then is on

854
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: the hot seat. But they do want to give him

855
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: some time. He does have a pretty long leach because

856
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the players like him, especially some of

857
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: the younger players and a few of the veterans as well.

858
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: They say he is a player's coach. They like his style.

859
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow, their franchise player, he gets along with

860
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor and he's an advocate of him. So that's

861
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: who you really want on your team. And then also

862
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Pee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, they're also big advocates Zach Taylor,

863
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: Joe Mixing as well, and a lot of the defensive

864
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: players that they have in a team like DJ Reader,

865
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates. So some of the main core players that

866
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals do have, they are big supporters of Zach Taylor.

867
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: So that's pretty much all you need with the Mike

868
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: Brown and Brown family as of now. But if he

869
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: continues to have uh, disappointing seasons like last year in

870
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: the Chile season in twenty nineteen, I can see next year,

871
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: uh he will be on Nazia. Yeah. I I don't

872
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: know how much value is there isn't everybody liking you,

873
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know Bill Belichick was really not well liked,

874
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: but he was a drill serge. Didn't want a ton

875
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: of Super Bowls, and you know that's I don't know.

876
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to be well liked if

877
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: you're a coach by your play. I'm not making the decisions.

878
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what I do. This is not

879
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: how I would do. What I what I believe to

880
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: be true from what I'm hearing from my sources in

881
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals organization. Now, if they would listen to me,

882
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: they would have more than six wins over of course, Yes, Tyler, yeah,

883
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: maybe they'll make you the GM. So let me let

884
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: me quickly ask you this to wrap up. Is there

885
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: any chance they finish outside the seller Let's say they

886
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: get Jamaar Chase and you know, they pick up some

887
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: nice guys on defense, and there is health health matters,

888
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, Jonah Williams, Joe Mixing. Like you said, I mean,

889
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: is there a chance they can sniff and finish ahead of,

890
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: say the Steelers. Yeah, I mean there's a chance that

891
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: there's always a chance. Um. I don't see them winning

892
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: the division, but I can see the best case scenario

893
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: that Bengals do finish five or maybe even slightly above. UM.

894
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: I don't see them competing for a division title uh

895
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: this season, though I think there's still maybe a year

896
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: or two away from really being serious playoff contenders. And

897
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: that's just because they're they're still a young team. UM.

898
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 1: A lot of the players UM will admit that they're

899
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: still in rebuild mode, and based on the product in

900
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: the field, I think that's very obvious that they're still

901
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: rebuild mode. So there's still a couple of years away

902
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: from seriously competing for a playoff spot. Okay, he is

903
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon. You can follow him on Twitter at the

904
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon. It's nice to have the Bengals somewhat relevant again.

905
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: It feels like, you know, they've just been so off

906
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 1: the radar for so long that you know, Joe Burrow

907
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: could finally bring that that franchise some fun. Yeah. Yeah,

908
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of excitement around the city and

909
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: a lot of players and fans. They tend tend to

910
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: like him, and he's performed in the field for the

911
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: ten games that he was on the field. Hopefully for

912
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals they can keep him healthy and one. All right,

913
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Tyler, We'll talk to you later. Thanks

914
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio. You know,

00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: took some days off recently because it was his birthday,

920
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: and then he took more days off for reasons that

934
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: countries is here yet, but Southern California starting to open up.

935
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:27,160

936
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: we are to the game everybody else, So it's funny.

937
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: So I go to my son. You know, we signed

938
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: up for soccer. I had to make sure that one

939
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: of my friends drafts my son to his soccer team.

940
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: But there was no draft. They were just like, hey,

941
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: take whoever you want, which is never a good strategy,

942
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: and um, that will just give you other guys. So

943
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: we get on this team and I go to the

944
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: practice and one of the moms, you know, drops off

945
00:51:54,040 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: their son and the mom says to me, I'm just

946
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: so happy to get him out playing sports and seeing

947
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: other kids again. And my head like, I was like,

948
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute. I didn't want to ask this, but

949
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a second, So have you not

950
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: had your kids seeing anybody for like thirteen fourteen months?

951
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: And folks, I'm starting to get the feeling that a

952
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: lot of people we're doing something along those lines where

953
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: you don't really see anybody, or you only hang with

954
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: like one other family. That just is not healthy. Kevin,

955
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: That is not healthy at all. And I know you're

956
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: with me on this, Like we're fortunate out here in

957
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: l A. We've got nice weather, but this these lockdowns

958
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: could have some really long term significant damage. Is not good.

959
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: Jason um Quick something quick for you. I was actually

960
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: inside of a Walgreens and this this mother and her

961
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: daughter were there, and I overheard her saying to the

962
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: pharmacy tech, She's like, I haven't been inside, she has said,

963
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: I haven't been inside of a store for a whole year,

964
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: inside of a store. I was like, what. Everything was

965
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 1: delivered to home basically. So I was doing my taxes

966
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: this week. You know, you go through the credit card

967
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: bill and it's so crazy. But in April of last year,

968
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 1: we did not buy not one thing outside the house

969
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: except I think gas once, and everything else was Amazon, Amazon,

970
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: Amazon Amazon. We only had stuff delivered, didn't go to

971
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: the store except the grocery store. But a year that

972
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,959
Speaker 1: is instan No, I want no. It's not my place

973
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: to say the thing that. If she wants to be

974
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: that precautious, that's fine, But let me tell you. Let

975
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Even when it was March of

976
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: a they said stay in your home. I still went

977
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: out almost every day walking and I wore a mask.

978
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: I can't stay inside. I'm an outdoorsman. I like even

979
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: in an urban setting. I like being outside. I cannot

980
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: stay inside. I like inside, like to sleep inside, like

981
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, I like a cozy bed, warm bed, all that.

982
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: But well, say, like you know, watch TV, you know

983
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: the air conditioning. I also like to go and walk

984
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: outside and run, exercise, you know, look at stuff. You know. Yeah,

985
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean we what humans have been around for hundreds

986
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: of thousands of years, maybe millions of years, I don't

987
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: know the number. But the last hundred two hundred years

988
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: are the only times they've been inside this much. And

989
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: now it's like never before can you imagine what not

990
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 1: even the cavemen, but people from like sixteen sev hundred

991
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: would think about people spending eight hours a day inside

992
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: that's unheard of, and staring at screens all the time.

993
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: Maybe during the Black Plague they stayed inside a little

994
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: more because they didn't know what was going on, what

995
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: was killing all these people, But they safer. I mean,

996
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: the reality is like this is just our brains are

997
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: basically shifting significantly. And the other thing is that all

998
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: the science said to go outside, It said it was healthier,

999
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 1: Vitamin D, these are things that are helping your immune systems.

1000
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. People choose the science they want to believe,

1001
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: well that that's the and I kind of blame the

1002
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: Internet on that because you blame the media. I blame

1003
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: the media, well the media the internet. Like, if you

1004
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 1: believe something could be true and you go on the Internet,

1005
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: you can probably find some websites, some message boards, some

1006
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: Yahoo answers or something dumb to just confirm whatever you're saying.

1007
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people fall down these

1008
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 1: rabbit holes and start to like really believe anything they read. Um,

1009
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys, outdoors is key. I think the

1010
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: key thing is now, Um, I saw an interview that

1011
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: when sent my viral with Fouci yesterday when they were

1012
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: talking about, uh, you know, wearing masks after you get vaccinated,

1013
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: and I'm I've seen plenty of data that suggests a

1014
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: few weeks after you're vaccinated, the mass are no longer needed,

1015
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: like that I should have that's the reason. Well, I'm

1016
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: just saying, like I think he's talking about the break

1017
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: the quote breakthrough cases where you're vaccinated, yet you still

1018
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: because it's not quote protection when you get vaccinated. No,

1019
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: actually it's I think it's like yeah, and so yeah,

1020
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: there there have been there have been about six thousand

1021
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: people out of millions of people who have gotten COVID

1022
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: after getting vaccinated, and like seventies some have died, but

1023
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: that's a incredibly tiny number. Yeah, I mean so, but

1024
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean and again outdoors, the chance of transmission is

1025
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: like next enough, right, and then if you're vaccinated, like

1026
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be wearing having to wear masks outdoors after Well,

1027
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: I did want to add this to the soccer at

1028
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: some point, what's the point of getting vaccinated? Nothing changed?

1029
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: Like I thought that was the point. That's why my

1030
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: problem with the NFL. Why why are you skipping workouts

1031
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: again when the vaccine is out there? That was the

1032
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: whole point of this. So and we'll get into that later. Yeah, no, no.

1033
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: The skipping workouts thing is interesting because it sounds like

1034
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: it's universal, right, like nobody it's mostly know it's there

1035
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: are it sounds like some individual players, like like the

1036
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: Chargers put out a statement said many of our players

1037
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: won't do it. But my problem is they're using COVID

1038
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: as an excuse when that is not the The league

1039
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: is going forward with fans in the stands and they're

1040
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: doing the protocols are way better at one as we know,

1041
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: when you're working out as a facility compared to at home.

1042
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: And then two, the vaccine is out there. I thought

1043
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: that was you know, let's do that to protect over that.

1044
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: So this soccer league that that they're doing out here

1045
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: in southern California for the kids is like, okay, Number one,

1046
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: kids have to wear a mask. Ball playing, Okay, I

1047
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: get it, but it's outdoors. Number two, every fan has

1048
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: adult in the sitting outside outside on the sideline, has

1049
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: to be wearing a mask. And you have to answer

1050
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: like five questions in this app about have you been

1051
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: around somebody with COVID? Like I json jumping through a

1052
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: lot of hoops. And guess here's the worst part. Because

1053
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: not enough kids signed up, they had to combine second grade,

1054
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: third and fourth, so my daughter second grade, we got

1055
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: all second graders. The commissioner called the coach who I'm

1056
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: friends with. Him was like, hey, just so you know,

1057
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: you've got all second graders on your team. He's like, yeah,

1058
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: we're all friends, you know we we would rather have that.

1059
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: And it's like they had a scrimmage yesterday, Gavin at

1060
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: the practice and I look at the other team and

1061
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: there's some tall girls. So I go up to the coach.

1062
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm not even coaching. I'm like a dad who's helping

1063
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: because I like sports and the kids are cool. And

1064
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: I go to the other coach. I'm like, you know,

1065
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: just so you know, we've got all second graders. He's

1066
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: like all. I was like, yeah, He's like okay, So

1067
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: he keeps some of his better players back. Our girls

1068
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: were fighting. My daughter almost scored. It was zero zero,

1069
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: and then eventually the coach moves his best player up

1070
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: and boom, they get three goals in a a heartbeat. She's

1071
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: a fourth grade who's really good, and you're like, damn,

1072
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long season. But anyways, go ahead.

1073
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I was at on that. Um.

1074
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say out here in l A. When

1075
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: they were filling the skate park with sand like they

1076
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: were they were in dirt, they were well they were

1077
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: doing that to discourage people from going outside, and I

1078
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: was just like, this is that's the wrong thing to do.

1079
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, the messaging on that is so bad. Yeah,

1080
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: the messaging was horrible that nationwide, and it still kind

1081
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: of is. To an example, Yeah, there's there's a segment

1082
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: of people that want people just change to their homes

1083
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: all day and never seeing anybody well, the other and

1084
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down too many rabbit holes.

1085
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: But the other thing with this, uh you know this

1086
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 1: league is like getting kids to wear masks while running

1087
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,479
Speaker 1: around on a big soccer field is very challenging. After

1088
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: two minutes of the scrimmage, one of the girls is like,

1089
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: I need water, and I went over, of course to

1090
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: talk to the mom. Oh has she been doing a

1091
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: lot of sports now? She hasn't. Just same second grader,

1092
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: tall and like totally gassed it out of shape. And

1093
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: we're going to see that in sports, like some of

1094
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: these kids are. Just if you're gonna discourage kids from

1095
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: participating in sports, I don't know, Gavin. I'm you never

1096
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: want to go overboard, but I am of the belief

1097
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: like I want to go to the gym, but frankly,

1098
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: like if we're gonna play basketball in the gym, I'm not.

1099
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to wear a mask. I got vaccinated.

1100
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. That's like, it's just like,

1101
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,479
Speaker 1: what's the point. I got vaccinated eight weeks ago and

1102
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to change like everything, you know

1103
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you're still doing this. I'm still

1104
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: abiding by the laws and our our our own companies

1105
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: by right. So I'm not gonna you know, And just

1106
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: to be clear to the people out there who are

1107
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna tweet me like, oh you nonbeliever. No, we largely

1108
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: had nobody in our house for twelve months. You know.

1109
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: When the cleaning lady came, she wore a mask, We

1110
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: wore masks, We opened all the windows. Like, we have

1111
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: done everything in our power to avoid COVID. Um, We've

1112
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: played by the rules, and now it's like we got vaccinated,

1113
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: kids aren't getting it. I'm sorry, Like we're at the

1114
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: point like we're gonna do we gotta do stuff. You know,

1115
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I wasted a year on

1116
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: my prime, you know, I'm not just kidding. Um, But

1117
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: at some point, guys, we gotta start to live our

1118
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: life again. And um, I don't know I did. I

1119
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: was gonna talk about the nets, and then we got

1120
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: into um random super random stuff. Yeah, we could always

1121
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: come back to the nets. We've got we got an

1122
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: hour and a half left. Um, yeah, let's go to

1123
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Isaac with what's trending. Jason Adrian war Janowski reported today

1124
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: that an m R I on the spring right ankle

1125

Speaker 1: of Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell revealed no structural damage.

1126
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: He is, however, expected him as several games on the court.

1127
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Friday night, Julius Randol scored forty four is the Knicks

1128
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: one at Dallas. The Knicks on a five game winning streak,

1129
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: their longest in seven years in the NFL. The man

1130
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: who filed a criminal assault complaint earlier this week against

1131
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Ramstar defensive lineman Aaron Donald has now recanted

1132
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: his claim and apologize. Man's attorney said that his client

1133
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: miss took Donald for his attacker outside of a Pittsburgh

1134
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: nightclub early last Sunday morning. In Major League Baseball, Fry

1135
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: and I first show down to the season between the

1136
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Padres lived up to the hype and went

1137
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: twelve innings before the Dodgers wanted eleven to six. The

1138
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers at twelve and two on a seven game winning streak.

1139
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: It's the best start by a defending World Series champion

1140
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: after fourteen games in Major League history. And finally, The

1141
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: New York Post reported today that Fox Sports Joe Buck

1142
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: will be a future guest host on Jeopardy So he

1143
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: joins Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as one of

1144
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: the candidates to be the permanent replacement host for the

1145
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: late great Alex Trebec. I'll take Troy Aikman tie patterns

1146
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: for eight hundred Joe potential category back to you, Jason, Wow,

1147
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: good stuff, Isaac. Sorry to interrupt there. Um interesting, I mean, listen,

1148
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: we're back here on Fox Sports Radio. Kevin. Um, I

1149
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I like the Joe, I like what Joe

1150
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Buck says, and um, I don't know. For some reason,

1151
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: the whole Jeopardy situation without Alex feels odd. I don't

1152
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm cheating on Alex Trebek. I mean,

1153
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: he's been dead for a while, but I've watched a

1154
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: show for years. It's like, no, this is not a

1155
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: good comparison. But it's off the top of my head.

1156
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 1: When nine oh to one oh started to replace the

1157
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: longtime cast with like random people, not Tiffity Ambertheson, because listen,

1158
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: I'll watch anything she's in. But when you start replacing

1159
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: like Dylan and Kelly Brenda and I don't know, it's

1160
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: just different. And I know we all have to adapt

1161
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: and change, but I I did not watch Aaron Rodgers,

1162
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: how was he did you watch it all? Yeah, I

1163
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: know he was good. He was you know, his own

1164
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: unique personality, had some fun uh with you know, at

1165
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: the packers expense. But yeah, it's you know, Trubek hosted

1166
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: it for decades. Like you don't just simply transition to

1167
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: someone new. It's almost like when you have a quarterback

1168
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen years. You never want to be the guy

1169
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: after the guy because whoever that guy is is probably

1170
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: destined to fail because nobody can live up to somebody

1171
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: who's been there forever. So you want you have like

1172
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: your bridge guy who's in and then you get in

1173
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: your new guy who starts at a new I think

1174
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Joe Buck and crush it because he's really sharp, quick

1175
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: witted guy. Um it's tough because um, like locally here

1176
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, you know, Vince Scully and you know

1177
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: we've had I think Joe Davis come replace him, and

1178
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: he's doing a great job. And you know most people

1179
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: would acknowledge that. You know, the local broadcasters are doing terrific,

1180
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: but you're still not Vince Scully. My chargers justin Herbert

1181
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: is awesome. I'm so excited for how talented he is.

1182
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: But Philip Rivers is going to be a Chargers legend

1183
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: forever over what he meant to that team in that franchise.

1184
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with you know, you know

1185
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: your own teams, and it's uh, it's tough to replace

1186
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: the legend. Never want to be that guy. Yeah, I mean,

1187
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: I guess technically you could say Tyrod Taylor, who's the

1188
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: bridge for what? One game? One game when? But it

1189
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: was forgotten because Herbert looks amazing. I do want to

1190
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: ask you guys real quick before we get back to sports,

1191
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: is your Internet consumption up or down in the last

1192
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: couple of months, because I do I know that Obviously,

1193
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 1: early COVID, it was all Internet all the time, and

1194
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: it was you were on the apps and you clung

1195
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: to your phone looking for any kernels of information. But

1196
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: then I went through the phase where I'm like, all right,

1197
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do less Internet. And I think I've been

1198
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job of that. Um, but I

1199
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: do wonder if are you guys using your phones less

1200
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: or is it just same or more? I'll go first,

1201
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I think it would have to be less one because

1202
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: we've been able to do more, go out more. I

1203
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: was able to see my family on Easter, that kind

1204
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: of stuff, like actually going out. We're also personally trying

1205
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: to be more active, so we're definitely disconnecting more from that.

1206
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, it definitely feels like it's better to be outside.

1207
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: Like I definitely have called my parents and men, like, listen,

1208
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: you gotta go outside. You gotta just walk around in nature.

1209
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Have you guys heard of grounding. I don't know if

1210
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: I've talked about this, not like when your parents ground

1211
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: you because you did something dumb, but where you basically

1212
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: just have your bare feet, not in socks, not in sneakers,

1213
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: touch grass. I have not heard of that. I've never

1214
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: heard of it. I mean, I'm from the Midwest and

1215
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: my parents have a farm, so I walked around barefoot

1216
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: a lot. It's good for your back, it's good for

1217
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: like walking barefoot is really good for your body. Yes,

1218
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: it's because you have all these pressure points on the

1219
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: bottom of your feet, and your feet are often kind

1220
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: of coddled by shoes and they become sort of now

1221
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: they are Yeah, they are modern humans are modern humans.

1222
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Feet are very like especially Western eyed you know countries,

1223
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: your feet never touched the earth. You're in socks, you're

1224
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: in sneakers all the time, and I don't know. I

1225
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: I can admit this. I've started to every day make

1226
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: a point to just take off my socks and sneakers

1227
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: and walk into the grass just God's it's it's good.

1228
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: And there's is this thing called grounding. You guys can

1229
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: read about it. I know it's hippy dippy, and Jason,

1230
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: you're getting weird. You're gonna talk about Kale next um.

1231
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did watch this nature show where the

1232
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: guy just chooses to live life that way, never wear

1233
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: shoes ever. Yeah, And actually I thought that was dumb

1234
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: because his his reason was, oh, well there's people in

1235
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: third world countries that, which is true, but they if

1236
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: they had the shoes, they would wear the course. So

1237
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I thought that was a ridiculous reason. Jason, if you

1238
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: do grounding in the end zone, is it a safety?

1239
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Funny guy? Funny guy? All right, let's get back to

1240
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: sports real quick. So Kevin Durant plays last night. It

1241
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: looks good, Kyrie Irving, go look on Instagram. The highlights

1242
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: are awesome at pretty usual. James Harden is still out.

1243
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. The nets were bigger favorites, and I

1244
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: know I have referenced gambling a lot here, but you

1245
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: should be using gambling lines as at least a small

1246
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: window into what you think is going to happen, because,

1247
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: trust me, the people in the desert know what they're doing.

1248
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: They are building casinos and making billions of dollars in

1249
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: the desert. And the nets odds have come down a touch.

1250
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: The LaMarcus Aldres thing, I don't think it has a

1251
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: big bearing, although I did say this on Straight Fire

1252
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: this week, that look at that locker room when they're

1253
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,919
Speaker 1: faced with a hint of adversity. Let's say the Sixers

1254
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: go up to one and there's some hardened kyrie beef

1255
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: who is the leader, the veteran in the locker room

1256
01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 1: who's pounding the table and saying, bleep it bleep, bleep,

1257
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: shut up and listen to me. Here's what we need

1258
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: to do. We got this. We know it's Lebron, we

1259
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: know it's Janice in Milwaukee. Although he hasn't won anything,

1260
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that Joel Embiid is the leader of

1261
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: the Sixers, the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler is that dog

1262
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: you go up and down the league. A lot of

1263
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: teams have it. The Clippers did not have it last

1264
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: year in the bubble. There was nobody to stop the bleeding.

1265
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 1: When they couldn't close out Denver up three one and

1266
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: leading the final three games at half, they could not

1267
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: close it out in the second half. So what do

1268
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: they do? They go out and get Rondo, a thirty

1269
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: five year old point guard who's one in with the

1270
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Lakers and with Boston. He is now being expected to

1271
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:55,520
Speaker 1: come in and be that vocal leader in the huddle. Rondo. Okay,

1272
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: who is that guy in the Nets locker room? Yeah?

1273
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I want to say it's Kevin Durant. I want to

1274
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: I just him. Not a thousand percent sure that he's

1275
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: that dude. Remember, and I like Kevin Durant. This is

1276
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: not a slight Remember he went to Golden State. He

1277
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: followed Kyrie to Brooklyn. Maybe he becomes a vocal leader.

1278
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's that guy. James Harden has

1279
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: had a lot of postseason failures. I know he is

1280
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: an alpha, but he's on a team with two other alpha's.

1281
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie wants to be the guy, But can you be

1282
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: the guy, the leader in the locker room when you've

1283
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: abandoned the team three times? I mean, Kyrie's probably missed

1284
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, ten fifteen games because he needed personal reasons.

1285
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,799
Speaker 1: Like did the leader do that? The captain is supposed

1286
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: to go down with the ship. The leader is supposed

1287
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: to lead the team through difficult times. Steve Nash has

1288
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 1: never been a head coach, except of course, in my

1289
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: son's basketball league, where I coached against him like four

1290
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: years ago. Like, I just don't know. Could LaMarcus Aldridge

1291
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: have been that guy? Veteran thirty five, wants to get

1292
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: a ring, been on some good teams. I think he's

1293
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, but guys with similar numbers are

1294
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame. Chris Webber has had

1295
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: a better career than LaMarcus Aldridge. He ain't in the

1296
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I don't know if the Nets have

1297
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: that guy, but Gavin, I don't know. Is there so

1298
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: much talent that they won't need that guy. But I'll

1299
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 1: tell you now, if they go down three, want to

1300
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: get somebody. I don't know if it's going to be

1301
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: in their DNA to come back. One thing that worries me,

1302
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: it's the same thing the Clippers had last year. They

1303
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: haven't played a lot together and you don't want to

1304
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: find that chemistry in the playoffs. It didn't work for

1305
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: l A last year. Is it gonna work for Brooklyn?

1306
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Especially with much bigger egos on that? Yeah? How is

1307
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: Katie gonna defer to James Harden at the end of

1308
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the You know that's gonna be weird. Now listen, I

1309
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: am all in on Hardened. I I'm sure I took

1310
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: some sad him when he was in Houston unable to

1311
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: close it out. But that one when he was when

1312
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: he was a number one, and there were questions about

1313
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: the two, I don't know, is it who's the number two?

1314
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: But let's let's go to some sound real quick of

1315
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley on the nets. I'm always root against brook Why.

1316
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: I just don't like the way they put that team together.

1317
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be a proponent of guys building on

1318
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: the team and up, never gonna be for it. So

1319
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm moving for anybody to be Brooklyn. Okay, Charles Barkley,

1320
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: what was the exact thing? I never root for anybody

1321
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 1: to team up. And that's why he Barkley is a liar.

1322
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: He's a liar. We'll talk about that next. He's done

1323
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: it himself. That's next here on Fox Sports Radio. Fox

1333
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: don't always like to break some personal news on the show,

1334
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: but did you guys happen to see the news that

1335
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: a group led by Mazzette Ozul, a soccer player justin Verlander,

1336
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: Kate Upton Eva Longoria bought a soccer team in Mexico.

1337
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: Um Nick Coxa is the team and they operate out

1338
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: of a city in Mexico that you've probably never heard of,

1339
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: but it's a cool city's name, Aguascalientis in Mexico. Never

1340
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: been there, but that translates to hot waters. Yes, this

1341
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: is the you're good, Sam, do take a few years

1342
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: of Spanish. The reason that it's called hot waters is

1343
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: because parts of the city get natural hot water when

1344
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 1: you turn on your faucet, you know, like usually when

1345
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: you turn on your water, Um, it's like cold and

1346
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,799
Speaker 1: then it's got to warm up parts of the city.

1347
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 1: It's hot instantly geothermal activity. Don't know. I never been there. However,

1348
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Uh we are part of well I will me and

1349
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: my family blah blah blah. We're part of that group

1350
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: that bought that soccer team. So last night, of course

1351
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching the soccer team because it's on whatever channel

1352
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: it's on, and the guy misses a penalty kick and

1353
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm there with the kids watching and there they have

1354
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: no clue we're watching. It's like a Spanish station. I

1355
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: think it's Univision h D And I'm like, oh gosh,

1356
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: he missed the p K. And they're like, yeah, okay,

1357
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 1: can we go back to the roadblocks at and a

1358
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: very exciting time for the family, my family, But um,

1359
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: we try these obscure random off book moves. Um. The

1360
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:12,799
Speaker 1: Australian basketball team, which had a big win this week. Um,

1361
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: they're not doing great, but they haven't played a home

1362
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: game due to COVID. They're located in New Zealand. The

1363
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: rest of the league's in Australia, so thus they haven't

1364
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: played one home game all season. Um and then now

1365
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: a Mexican soccer team. So when I go really random

1366
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 1: here start talking about stuff like that, it's um just

1367
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: for the listeners. I'm not I don't put that stuff

1368
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: on social media at least yet. By the way, Gavin,

1369
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: I was just reading during the break about doge coin.

1370
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: Did you know it's based on a dog meme, the

1371
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: doge coin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's what doge is. Yeah.

1372
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: It Now, that's why it's so funny because it's nothing.

1373
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: It is nothing, but it's market cap is fifty bill,

1374
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,799
Speaker 1: which is more than ford in eBay. How does doge

1375
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: coin a meme have a market cap of fifty bill?

1376
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Is unreal. I think that UM economics professors in high

1377
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: school classes are really enjoying this as a fun lesson

1378
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: for kids. Like it's it's it's insane and I'm in

1379
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: the dark here. What is the lesson? I don't about

1380
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: market manipulation. I would assume like how you can create basically, Look,

1381
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not a stockbroker. I please don't listen

1382
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: to my financial analysis. I'm just thinking that when you

1383
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: get everyone, or not everyone, but millions of people, hundreds

1384
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: of thousands into buying one thing, that price of that

1385
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: thing because of the demand, is going to go up.

1386
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: So that happened with a meme of a cryptocurrency, and

1387
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: that is what doge coin is. And it cost very

1388
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,600
Speaker 1: little for me to get twenty shares of it. And

1389
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: now it's funny to see it. It's now worth thirty cents.

1390
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: Every share is worth thirty cents, and I have unbelievable

1391
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: You know, Charles Barkley has become a meme. You like

1392
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 1: that transition. Honestly, Charles Barkley is a joke. I'm sorry, guys.

1393
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I know he's great television, but he's a joke, ripping

1394
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: the nets for teaming up. I just want Charles Barkley

1395
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: to get in his way back machine, go back to

1396
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: the end of his Sixers days where he demanded to

1397
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: get out and get demanded to trade it to a contender,

1398
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: and oh, the Phoenix suns are really good. You have

1399
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 1: to trade me there. I'm gonna retire. I'm not gonna

1400
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: play anymore. Trade me there or I'm done here. That's

1401
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: what Charles Barkley did because Phoenix had a good team

1402
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: and they could contend for the title. And oh guess what,

1403
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley gets his wish to team up with good

1404
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: players on the Phoenix Suns Dan Marley. They go to

1405
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the championship, they lose to the Bulls. Barkley wins the

1406
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: m v P of the season. Charles Barkley literally did

1407
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: what he's now talking about people should not do. And

1408
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: it's holy embarrassing that all these media members who suck

1409
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: up to Barkley chalk. Barkley is the best, the show

1410
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: is the great ast Bambo. We know it was good.

1411
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as good as it once was.

1412
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: And oh, let's get Barkley on an interview. I mean,

1413
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe I have to call these guys out,

1414
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: because anytime I see a Barkley interview, it's one of

1415
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: like the same five lap dogs who are not going

1416
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 1: to call him on the stuff they need to call

1417
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: him on. Hey, Charles, you ripped the nets for teaming up.

1418
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: You forced your way out of Philly to the Sun's.

1419
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: Oh and then when that failed, you forced your way

1420
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: to the Rockets trying to win another championship. That failed too,

1421
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: so you were teaming up with the Sons, you were

1422
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: teaming up with the Rockets. But now the Nets shouldn't

1423
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: do that, and the Warriors shouldn't do that, shouldn't recruit

1424
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,799
Speaker 1: k D. I mean Reggie Miller's saying the same bunk. Oh.

1425
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: If Jordan had called me, I would have hug up

1426
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 1: and told him no way. Yeah right, you couldn't get

1427
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: by Jordan's. The only said you got to the finals

1428
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:07,560
Speaker 1: was because Jordan quit for the second time. Reggie Miller unbelievable.

1436
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: it's just some cloud cover to start the weekend. I

1437
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: don't know about you guys, but the weather out here

1438

Speaker 1: eighty two degrees on Sunday. Who wants to go to

1440
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 1: the beach once again? It's a beach time. Well, Unfortunately

1441
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I can't we have two soccer games with the kids. Um,

1442
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin, I know you're a big soccer guy

1443
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: growing up. Youth sports. Oh yeah, we haven't signed our

1444
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: kids up for baseball or softball simply because when the

1445
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: weather is awesome, we don't want to be sitting there

1446
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: for two hours during a baseball game. Did you play

1447
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: baseball when you were a little guy. But about the extent, yeah,

1448
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,560
Speaker 1: I know, selfish of us as parents right to say, hey,

1449
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,679
Speaker 1: we don't want to sit there and watch coach pitch

1450
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 1: or kid pitch for two hours. No way, we're gonna

1451
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: go to the beach. One thing I will be doing

1452
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: less than two weeks from now, the NFL Draft. Can't wait.

1453
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: So excited had it circled on the calendar for a while.

1454
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: The draft is become really big business. I mean, you

1455
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: can gamble on the draft and we will do some

1456
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: gambling on the draft next week. We had a Bengals

1457
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: reporter earlier on the show say that the Bengals are

1458
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: targeting Jamaar Chase at five. You know, I mentioned it

1459
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 1: on social media and all these people are like all

1460
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: over it. They're like yes or no, we need to

1461
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 1: protect Joe Burrow. I. It's funny because everybody wants to

1462
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: talk about the Bengals at five Falcons at four they falcons?

1463
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: Are they going to take a quarterback? Do they keep

1464
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan? Yeah? We know what the Jets are doing.

1465
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: There is some mystery about the forty niners, just a

1466
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: little probably gonna be justin Fields over Mac Jones. But

1467
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: you know what nobody's talking about. Trevor Lawrence at number one,

1468
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: thirty four and two the last three years as a

1469
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 1: starter for the Clemson Tigers, just unbelievable career, strangely did

1470
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: not win a Heisman, did win and Natty took down

1471
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Alabama as a freshman, and Trevor Lawrence is kind of

1472
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: a forgotten guy. I don't really know how that happens

1473
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: when you look like Sunshine from Remember the Titans and

1474
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: you dominate at Clemson. Trevor Lawrence just got married. He's

1475
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: twenty one years old. But the self awareness, it's really

1476
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: what has me. And I'm so smitten. You know, you

1477
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 1: could call it a man crush if you want on

1478
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence. He talked to s I this week

1479
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: and you can just here in his explanations how level

1480
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: headed and mature. This kid is. I don't know about

1481
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 1: you guys. At twenty one, I was a goof off.

1482
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: I was still chasing the skirt around, you know, at

1483
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: least three nights a week in college. If I could

1484
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 1: get out Tuesday nights, I would, Thursday's for sure, Friday,

1485
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: Saturday awesome night. Trevor Lawrence is out here, married, gonna

1486
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: be the number one pick in the draft, overnight millionaire,

1487
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: and he's got the self awareness to say, I don't

1488
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: really care what anybody says about me. He's not that

1489
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: active on social media or the Graham. He's just one

1490
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: of these rare kids who gets it. Now, the football lifers,

1491
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: you know what they're gonna say, Well, does Trevor Lawrence

1492
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: love football? Because the last guy who was a CAMPMS

1493
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 1: prospect and I like football, but didn't really love it.

1494
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: He was into like reading, you know, books and stuff,

1495
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: and he had a flip phone. And Andrew Luck, I mean,

1496
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 1: he like football. He's a really talented football player, but

1497
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: he walked away from the game at twenty nine. What

1498
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,759
Speaker 1: if Trevor Lawrence doesn't love football? And you can already

1499
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: see that that's the next silly like Domino to fall

1500
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 1: in the Trevor Lawrence bashing because we always have to

1501
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: find a way to build guys up and tear them down.

1502
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: That's what the media does. They loved the build up

1503
01:23:55,240 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: tear down, and we built Trevor Lawrence up, and now

1504
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna tear him down when he starts Ohing three

1505
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. That's what we're gonna do. That's what the

1506
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:09,879
Speaker 1: media does. I can vow to you, the listening audience,

1507
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 1: to you who are listening to the podcast all over

1508
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: America and in Europe. I don't know for big in Canada.

1509
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I'll have to find out, but it's very clear to

1510
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 1: me that I will not be backtracking on my Trevor

1511
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence takes. I am a firm believer he will be successful,

1512
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: maybe not instantly. You know, I thought Sam Donald would

1513
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: be successful. Clearly was not. Thirty eight games as a

1514
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 1: starter told me enough I need to know about Sam Donald.

1515
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Wasn't working out in the with the Jets, could still

1516
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: work out in Carolina, but Trevor Lawrence, I'm all in.

1517
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: My chips are in the middle. Unbelievably, you know, my

1518
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: idiotic Jets had to win two games. Joe Flacco of course,

1519
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: the reason that the Jets aren't getting Trevor Lawrence. Like,

1520
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 1: if the Jets had gotten Lawrence, I probably would be

1521
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: more insufferable than I already am about the Jets, if

1522
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: that's humanly possible. You guys know I do the Straight

1523
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Fire podcast. It's so funny because Gavin does stuff on it,

1524
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: and then Rob, a producer from the Odd Couple, he

1525
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: does stuff on it, and all I get is, hey, man,

1526
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: you talk about the Jets too much. There's too much Jets,

1527
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you guys are lucky they didn't get

1528
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence because it would be like, oh man, I

1529
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: would probably have to talk Jets four days a week

1530
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: in some capacity, and I know nobody cares about the Jets.

1531
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: We are getting we the Mormon mahomes Zack Wilson. But

1532
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: I kind of like Trevor Lawrence even more. I mean, yeah,

1533
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson saying the right things. I guarantee you I'll

1534
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: call him zac Efron at least once a month during

1535
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: the football season because he has like this, He's always

1536
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: like smiling. He's like that guy who's just so high

1537
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: on life that he's always grinning. Any picture of Zach

1538
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Wilson to be why You quarterback. He's got like some

1539
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of smirk on his face. Trevor Lawrence has a

1540
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: steely demeanor, this inner confidence that just reeks of, hey, man,

1541
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm gonna go do this, and I'm

1542
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna do it well. One of the accolades I like

1543
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: to keep on the wife and she's not listening, so

1544
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not kissing but here. But I've told her from

1545
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: early on, like, jeez, anything you do, you're pretty successful

1546
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: at it. She's smart, she gets people, and like anytime

1547
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: she's helping on something like it works really well. So

1548
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, marrying up has been very good for me

1549
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: and I you know, you could just sense that about

1550
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 1: some people. And Trevor Lawrence. Man, I'm telling you that

1551
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: guy is good. He's really really talented. And it's not

1552
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: just what you see on the field and the arm

1553
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: and the decision. And I've said many times Ohio State

1554
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,679
Speaker 1: Clemson two years ago was one of the best college

1555
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: football games I've seen in the last decade. Ohio State

1556
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: is just beating the crap out of Trevor Lawrence. And

1557
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: he's somehow is able to peel off a fifty or

1558
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: touchdown run. And Trevor Lawrence is just amazing in that

1559
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: game and the inner confidence that he has. It's like

1560
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 1: he's got a wisdom beyond his twenty one years and

1561
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna have success in the NFL. I watched the

1562
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: Jags off season. I know some people are kind of

1563
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 1: out on urban Meyer. You know, full disclosure, he worked

1564
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 1: at Fox. I didn't speak to him once. I don't

1565
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: know him. He's obviously a very good football mind. But

1566
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this, there has been a coach bump for

1567
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: rookies where they take over, they surprise a lot of people,

1568
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: and we saw it with McVeigh. Obviously, we did not

1569
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: see it with Zach Taylor. UM, I have the feeling

1570
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 1: urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence are gonna do some rabble

1571
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: rousing in the a f C next year. Listen. I'm

1572
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: not going crazy here and say they're gonna win ten

1573
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 1: games or win the division. But the talent is there

1574
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 1: around Trevor Lawrence in that he's gonna feel like he's

1575
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:20,759
Speaker 1: always got a chance. Remember Gardner Minshew made these guys

1576
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: plucky for like five minutes. The Jacks took uh this kid,

1577
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 1: James Robinson undrafted running back over a thousand yards DJ

1578
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: Shark Baby Shark, pretty good guy. Put up some good

1579
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: numbers on my fantasy team. I like the Marvin Jones

1580
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: pick up la Visca Chennault. The kid out of Colorado

1581
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:46,640
Speaker 1: showed well, he's kind of got a little bit of um.

1582
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: The forty Niners receiver who can catch and run. The

1583
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: toughness Chinault is really nice, Deebo Samuel, That's what I

1584
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: was looking for, thank you. And you know the front

1585
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: line for the Jacksonville defense as a couple of SEC

1586
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 1: defensive ends Josh Allen calevon Chason. I like their um

1587
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: pick up a Shack Griffin in the secondary. I'm telling

1588
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: you right now, Jacksonville is gonna be good. Trevor Lawrence

1589
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 1: is too good of a talent that they're gonna be

1590
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be a two or three win team. Yeah,

1591
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: a great point. You do not have to worry about

1592
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas. They, by the way, according to the

1593
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: Vegas odds makers, and we'll do that next segment. I

1594
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 1: think Vegas over unders that jump out at us before

1595
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 1: the draft. One question for you as a Jets fan, Yes,

1596
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have this game circled on your schedule

1597
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:43,840
Speaker 1: for next season, Jets at Panthers. How important is that game?

1598
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: We don't know the date yet. It has to be

1599
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: a primetime game. How it could be a Thursday that

1600
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: it could be. It's gonna be enticing. What what did

1601
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: Sam Donald do? Three touchdowns three yards and they win?

1602
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the old and it's probably his most

1603
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: anticipated games since the Baker game. Remember the Baker game

1604
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 1: his rookie season. That was a Thursday night game. I

1605
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 1: think Baker came in off the bench and beat Donald.

1606
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: Donald was okay at times, but I remember that being

1607
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 1: in a really exciting game. It was. It was good. Yeah,

1608
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: And Zack Wilson verse, Sam Donald will be a thriller, Yeah,

1609
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. Um, I'm bullish, obviously, not as bullish as

1610
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence. One anecdote, I don't know if I've

1611
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: told this on UM on this show or not, but

1612
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,559
Speaker 1: a good story I heard from Sam Hanky. So James

1613
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: Harden is traded to the Rockets way back from Okay.

1614
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 1: See and the first practice of the season. You know,

1615
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:47,719
Speaker 1: James Harden had just gotten there like ten days earlier.

1616
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 1: Everybody shows up and everybody's shooting around, lacing up their sneakers,

1617
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 1: getting ready high fives, and Kevin McHale, the coach, calls

1618
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: him in and says, okay, guys, here's what we're gonna do.

1619
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: Uh h. We're gonna run this drill and we're gonna

1620
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:05,759
Speaker 1: break off here. And Kevin McKell says, all right, everybody

1621
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 1: put your hands in, and they put their hands in,

1622
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 1: and before the next thing is James Harden goes, hey,

1623
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: tuck your jersey's in. James Harton, who has just been

1624
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: in Houston for about ten days, speaks up as a leader, says,

1625
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: tuck your jerseys in. Everybody tucks your jerseys in. Then

1626
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:26,719
Speaker 1: they put their hands in break and you know, early

1627
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 1: on it was very clear that James Harden was the guy.

1628
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 1: He was only a sixth man largely in Okay. See,

1629
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:37,759
Speaker 1: he's very young getting to a team, and he sets

1630
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: the tone by telling everybody, hey, tuck your jersey's in.

1631
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 1: Just a little thing, not over not yelling anybody, hey,

1632
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:48,600
Speaker 1: tuck your jersey's in. Everybody listens. James Harden stamps it,

1633
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm the alpha of the team. Trevor Lawrence is gonna

1634
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 1: get to Jacksonville and there's gonna be a moment. And

1635
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 1: he's not like a big vocal leader. You never saw

1636
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: him on the sideline like running around waving his arms.

1637
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 1: That's for some guys. Baker Mayfield big on that. Trevor's

1638
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of the anti Baker Mayfield. If you will, no

1639
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder, I don't got anything to prove

1640
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 1: what's up. I'm here, I'm gonna deal. I'm gonna make

1641
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,360
Speaker 1: it rain. And Trevor Lawrence will have that moment where

1642
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 1: everybody in Jacksonville listens to him and it becomes his

1643
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: team and it's gonna happen early. And you know, I

1644
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: know Jacksonville has been an outpost for a long time.

1645
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 1: Nobody's been excited about them since they were in the

1646
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game against the Patriots with Jalen Ramsey.

1647
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,560
Speaker 1: And you know they had they had some talent, but

1648
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,719
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles basically just outkicked his coverage for a season

1649
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 1: and then turned back into Blake Bortles the next year,

1650
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: and um, we haven't heard from Jacksonville since. So I

1651
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 1: love everything about Trevor Lawrence. I urge you to read

1652
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: the story and s I about him. Just very level

1653
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,640
Speaker 1: headed stuff from a year old who's going to be

1654
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:53,920
Speaker 1: easy to root for. All Right, Coming up next, Gavin

1655
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: and I will dive into over under early looks early

1656
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: on the NFL season. That's next year on Fox Sports Radio.

1661
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Gonna do some NFL over unders here. Um,

1662
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,640
Speaker 1: you guys know, if you can get ahead of the

1663
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 1: market on some teams, that can be very, very profitable.

1664
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I was not smart enough last year to predict Rady

1665
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 1: would go to Tampa. I was not smart enough to

1666
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 1: get those odds on Tampa to win the Super Bowl,

1667
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:50,040
Speaker 1: um well before everyone else, and uh so I did.

1668
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to profit. I didn't really believe in Tampa.

1669
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 1: But it's pretty clear I was wrong, very clear I

1670
01:33:56,479 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 1: was wrong. Um, Gavin, one that jumped out at me

1671
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 1: to win the NFC Championship. Everybody likes Tampa. Their heavy favorites,

1672
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay, second, the Rams or third. Forty Niners we

1673
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 1: touched on it plus seven hundred. There is a team

1674
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 1: that was in the Super Bowl two years ago. Now,

1675
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: they did lose their defensive coordinator. I think they're down

1676
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: four defensive starters. You like that? Anything about San Fran

1677
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: plus seven hundred? They are on the toughest division in

1678
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 1: the NFC. Yeah, and it's hard to predict what the

1679
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: quarterback situation is going to look like. I mean, are

1680
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,719
Speaker 1: they gonna go to the NFC Championship with a rookie quarterback?

1681
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,599
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is still gonna be there. I mean, that's

1682
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 1: the tough thing I would I would lean more towards

1683
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,640
Speaker 1: an overtotal on them than to reach. But that is

1684
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:44,800
Speaker 1: terrific value with an elite head coach, great roster, maybe

1685
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:50,560
Speaker 1: the best non QB roster in the league. I like it. Uh,

1686
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: Your Chargers are plus four fifty to win the a

1687
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: f C West um Broncos are going to be better

1688
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 1: if they can figure out a quarterback. Raiders, I don't

1689
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 1: think much of Chiefs are heavy favorites. But do you

1690
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: see any regression coming the Chiefs? They swapped out both

1691
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 1: their tackles in this offseason. Yeah, Chargers played him really

1692
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: tough both times. Now you bring in a new head coach,

1693
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: more defensive mindset, they improved in an offensive line, They're

1694
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: going to improve more in the offensive line. Um, they

1695
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: lose Melvin Ingram, but you know you get Derwin James back.

1696
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: That's huge. I would definitely bet plus four fifty just

1697
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: a little on the Chargers to win the West. I

1698
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 1: like it. One more division. Um, NFC least Cowboys are favorites.

1699
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,400
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just because of the Dallas Cowboys

1700
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 1: in the public loves to bet the Cowboys Washington second,

1701
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 1: but the New York Giants at plus four fifty or third.

1702
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: This is a team that was like two weeks left,

1703
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 1: was in the mix to win the division, and they

1704
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: upgraded significantly in free agency. If you're taking them at

1705
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 1: four forty to win the NFC East, I think a

1706
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:54,679
Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with do you trust

1707
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes or not? And um yeah, I mean he's

1708
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 1: he can't complain now he's got Kenny Holiday. I'm gonna

1709
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: have a healthy se Kwon Barkley. Um my pick in

1710
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,479
Speaker 1: that division is Washington, which I think we'll get to

1711
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 1: their over under soon. Um, but you know, I mean

1712
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 1: that's great value for forty yeah. Um, all right, now

1713
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:19,040
Speaker 1: let's get to so. I guess we can say william Hill,

1714
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,360
Speaker 1: they don't pay for sponsorship here, but their sports book

1715
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:27,799
Speaker 1: released over under wind totals for and again the draft

1716
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. But how much really can the draft impact

1717
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 1: wins and losses? Like first year players, it's not like

1718
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 1: they're very often just becoming massive um agents of change

1719
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:45,280
Speaker 1: outside of quarterback. And I don't think anybody expects Zach

1720
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: Wilson to come in and boo yah, the Jets are

1721
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: right there. What what do you want to start with?

1722
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Well? I just teased it will do that. Washington?

1723
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 1: What do you have Washington? Now? See, my only problem

1724
01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:00,680
Speaker 1: is a quarterback situation like well, they upgraded in my

1725
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 1: opinion with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Um, you bring in a star

1726
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: studded defensive line that is just a handful. Um. I

1727
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, let's see they bring in Curtis Samuel Um.

1728
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 1: I like Washington. I see him at eight. What do

1729
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: you have it at? Yeah, I'm at william Hill. Let

1730
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: me find I like the Washington over I think, by

1731
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 1: the way, eight remember seventeen games, so eight would be there.

1732
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:35,280
Speaker 1: Under five, Dallas will be better. I think Philly probably improves.

1733
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,959
Speaker 1: They can't play any worse, that's for sure, right Washington

1734
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 1: seventeenth game is at Buffalo, so not an easy one there.

1735
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: Um And they won the division, so the division winner

1736
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: always plays the tougher schedule. Um, and you like the

1737
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: over for sure? Huh. I just I like them to

1738
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 1: win nine games, and and if I like them to

1739
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 1: do that, I like the over. So we talked about

1740
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Could they go undefeated when seventeen game gavin

1741
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 1: their win total eleven and a half? That seems low,

1742
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 1: does it not? Yeah? I mean, especially when you're predicting

1743
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 1: them to go over, it's gonna be. But yeah, I

1744
01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 1: mean they return everything, brought everyone back, and the Saints

1745
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: lose their quarterback. And the second best team in the NFC,

1746
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 1: second best odds is Green Bay. They beat them twice

1747
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: last I mean, I don't know, are they going to

1748
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 1: lose his game in the division? Look at this last year.

1749
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: They beat the Panthers twice last year. I mean, look

1750
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: at the total wins and the other teams in that

1751
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: division seven I'm seeing seven and a half. I've seen

1752
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: nine and a half Saints. I don't think the Saints

1753
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: nine and a half that's what I see for the Saints.

1754
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they get nine and a half wins

1755
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,720
Speaker 1: with Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill at quarterback. I don't

1756
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: think that's a Tendland team. Um, I would like to

1757
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: over on Tampa. I guess. Yeah. The only pushback on

1758
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: the Saints is historically Drew Brees has come out and

1759
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: whether it's Bridge Water Taysom Hill, they still win. But

1760
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: because the salary cap issues, they suffered some losses. I've

1761
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: got to dig a little deeper on their free agency.

1762
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,879
Speaker 1: I don't I think they lost like three defensive starters.

1763
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: They lost Hendricks and their leading SAT guy. Um, he's

1764
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:20,759
Speaker 1: now in uh Cincinnati, let's see. I guess the argument

1765
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,599
Speaker 1: is that they went twelve and four last season even

1766
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: with Breeze being out for a lot of the games. Um, yeah,

1767
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: I think that's fool's gold, right, Yeah, yeah, that that

1768
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: that That's how I would leave. What are your thoughts

1769
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:37,240
Speaker 1: on Denver? It feels like a team we've expected to

1770
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 1: make some sort of a push in a few years.

1771
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 1: The quarterback situation is still undecided. Trust Drew Lock. I

1772
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:47,799
Speaker 1: mean he graded out as the thirty third best quarterback

1773
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 1: in the league. He led the league in interceptions despite

1774
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:54,519
Speaker 1: only starting thirteen games. He's a bit of a turnover machine,

1775
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:57,680
Speaker 1: but he gets Courtland Sutton back Jerry Judy in a

1776
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 1: year two. Um, they've got some talent on offense. I

1777
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 1: love their defense. Are you on the over earn? I'm

1778
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: just debating it right now. Um, but my thought is,

1779
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, as as great a wide receivers as they

1780
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: brought in, they still had a lot of issues with

1781
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: drops last year, so that's definitely gonna be something they

1782
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: need to figure out. All right, how are the Bears

1783
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: winning eight games? Like? Andy Dalton's their starter? Right? Allegedly

1784
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 1: that's what they're saying. It's full still there or no,

1785
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: h he is still there. But yeah, they got so

1786
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 1: lucky last year. I mean, the Lions were atrocious. The

1787
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 1: Vikings were exceptionally bad. Um. I would look at the

1788
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,800
Speaker 1: Bears under for sure. Yeah, I like the under. I

1789
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:46,960
Speaker 1: see seven and a half. Um, obviously they still have

1790
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Khalil mack Be, Kim Hicks and real corn Smith. But

1791
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: hackers are good. I mean the Lions now are are

1792
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: really bad again. It looks like I'm just eyeballing. The

1793
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 1: lowest wind total the Lions are at five. The Texans

1794
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:04,200
Speaker 1: are at five, but the Lions are five minus one thirty.

1795
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: Texans are five plus one ten. The Lions have a

1796
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:15,760
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. He's author and we know nothing about this

1797
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: head coach who seems like a meathead. The problem is

1798
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 1: it is easy to stumble into five wins in a

1799
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: seventeen game season. I mean, that's a tough one. So

1800
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: the Bucks are at the high end with eleven and

1801
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: a half, the Chiefs are twelve. Colts are ten with

1802
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:42,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I'm not a I liked everything about the

1803
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Colts coach. Team should have beat the Bills. I just

1804
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:49,640
Speaker 1: don't like Carson Wentz. All right, I want to you know,

1805
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 1: it's late in the show, so I can just totally

1806
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 1: blast Reggie Miller and um Charles Barkley again. But I

1807
01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: do want to say I'm close to putting down a

1808
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: little a little bit of money, just that taste on

1809
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: Steph Curry to win the m v P. He's one

1810
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: of the hottest players in the league. He's can't miss

1811
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 1: from three, he's having just his stats this season are

1812
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 1: akin to what they were when he won the m

1813
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 1: v P. And of course, you know there's this undercurrent.

1814
01:42:17,320 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 1: We had Cuffs the Legend on a couple of weeks back,

1815
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 1: and he was talking about the idea of Lebron recruiting Curry,

1816
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: and then it was this funny report out of the

1817
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 1: Bay Area that, oh no, that's not it. Kawhi Leonard

1818
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: is a potential future warrior. They're looking at him if

1819
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers fail again in the playoffs. It's like, okay, okay,

1820
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: so Curry finally talked about his future. Here's the sound.

1821
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: It's always been a priority. And you know when you

1822
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 1: look at guys like there Co I played you know, against,

1823
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 1: and have heard them talk about what that meant. They

1824
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:56,639
Speaker 1: don't speak on it lightly. There's a reverence for that club.

1825
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 1: You never know what can happen, obviously, but I feel

1826
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 1: like that's all has been something that would mean so

1827
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 1: much to me. Do you think he's going anywhere, Gavin,

1828
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,639
Speaker 1: It's really hard to see Steph Carey in another uniform. Yeah,

1829
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: he's just one of those guys, feels like, you know,

1830
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 1: and it's not like the NFL, NFL, a lot of

1831
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: guys move on at the end of their career and listen,

1832
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: that happens in the NBA to a lot of guys

1833
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 1: at the end of their career relocate. Um, I'll here's

1834
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:29,719
Speaker 1: a pop quiz. Okay, um, let me just confirm it. Gavin,

1835
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: can you tell me the last jersey that Patrick Ewing

1836
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: war before he retired? I cannot. I thought you were

1837
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna ask Dwayne Wade. Now he did. That's a good one.

1838
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 1: It was right. Well, I think it was Miami. He

1839
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 1: retired with Miami, so I was gonna say Patrick Ewing.

1840
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 1: I was going to guess the Sonics, but I'm wrong.

1841
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 1: Close close he was thirty eight with the Sonics. At

1842
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine, but sixty five games for the Orlando Magic. Yes,

1843
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing. Okay, next up. This was a little year

1844
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 1: because I talked about it or referenced it before. A

1845
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 1: chema la jawan acheme the dream? Any idea where he

1846
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: closed out his career Minnesota Timberwolves, A decent guess Toronto

1847
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:22,679
Speaker 1: Raptors like this is what happens people and I and

1848
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 1: and Reggie Miller is is rich. Um. I should preface

1849
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 1: this by saying, Reggie Miller blocked me on social media

1850
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 1: years ago. I don't know why it never followed him.

1851
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: I guess I was critical. Is something he said, and

1852
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: he did the preemptive block, which is fine. I don't care.

1853
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 1: But this idea that if Reggie Miller were sitting around

1854
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: as a free agent in the mid nineties and Michael

1855
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:50,679
Speaker 1: Jordan's said, hey, Reggie, no, we could use you pull

1856
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:57,240
Speaker 1: up the way Draymond called um Kevin Durant, the way

1857
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Kauai called Paul George. Recruiting happens all over the league now,

1858
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: and Reggie Miller would have said, bleep you no way

1859
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: is comical. It's just comical. And I know Reggie Miller's tough.

1860
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 1: You got in fights with Jordan's. Yeah, you don't think

1861
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 1: Lebron and Curry got in a tiffical Look it up.

1862
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: There was technical fouls in the finals the year um

1863
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 1: that Draymond got suspended in the finals and the Warriors

1864
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 1: gave away a three one lead, go look it up.

1865
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:29,639
Speaker 1: Like this idea that people can't put these things behind

1866
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:35,839
Speaker 1: them and team up is funny. The real reason is twofold,

1867
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 1: the explosion of a a. You have had players playing

1868
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 1: together in summer in high school many many times. Okay,

1869
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: that's number one and number two of social media. Social

1870
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:53,480
Speaker 1: media was never around in Reggie Miller did not automatically

1871
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 1: know what Michael Jordan and the Bulls were doing. You

1872
01:45:55,880 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 1: have to check a box score. You have to pick

1873
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:00,559
Speaker 1: up a newspaper and check a box score. Maybe you

1874
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: could turn on ESPN and see highlights, or I think

1875
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:08,640
Speaker 1: CNN had a sports network deal back then and you

1876
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 1: have to find highlights. But it wasn't automatically. You go

1877
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 1: in your phone and see what all these guys are

1878
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 1: up to. Everybody knows what everybody's doing because everybody's announcing

1879
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: on social media. Oh yeah, I'm Devin Booker. I'm playing

1880
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: Papa Shot against Kyrie Jenner or whatever. Kylie, Kylie Jenner.

1881
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 1: You know, all these guys know what's happening. They follow

1882
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:31,559
Speaker 1: each other, they d m each other. You can pick

1883
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: up your phone and text Donovan Mitchell if you are

1884
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:39,439
Speaker 1: player x y Z hey man, dude, the sick game

1885
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 1: last night. So happy for you. You could not do

1886
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 1: that in the nineties. You could not pick up your

1887
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: phone and instantly contact anyone else, And now you can.

1888
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 1: It's so much easier to join forces. You're telling me,

1889
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 1: guys that somebody hasn't been laying the groundwork with Bradley Beal.

1890
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 1: Somebody somewhere has have been like, yo, Brad, you see

1891
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 1: what Russ is doing to your team. You see how

1892
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 1: he's ballhogging and padding stats. And you ready if Luca

1893
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:15,640
Speaker 1: Dune it hasn't been laying the groundwork with somebody. I

1894
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:17,479
Speaker 1: don't think he's being the best superstar he can be.

1895
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: This is part of the new job as a superstar.

1896
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Like, there was a report last night

1897
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 1: that Zach Levine. You know, the Bulls are trying to

1898
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,839
Speaker 1: keep Zach Levine. They trade for him from Minnesota. Minnesota

1899
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,679
Speaker 1: looks stupid for giving up on him. Minnesota always looks stupid.

1900
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 1: They just do dumb things. And now Zach Levine is

1901
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 1: like he may not stick around Chicago. I mean, Zach

1902
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 1: Levine is one of the great scorers in the league

1903
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:46,639
Speaker 1: right now. You know, he's probably one of the ten

1904
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,000
Speaker 1: or fifteen best scorers in the in the league, probably

1905
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 1: one of the twenty best players right this season for sure.

1906
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 1: And the Bulls are in the tailspin. They can't win

1907
01:47:55,040 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 1: the rest of the roster. If I'm Chicago, I am

1908
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: on the horn with Zach Lavine. Should we make a

1909
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 1: run at Bradley Beale. He played for Billy Donovan, do

1910
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 1: we want to try to make a move on him, Like,

1911
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: this is what you do as a team. You get

1912
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: your star who's bankable, who's well known, who has five

1913
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: million followers, who's an All star, who's got adds all

1914
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 1: over the league, who's viral doing stuff. This is how

1915
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 1: you leverage that to bring in another star. It is

1916
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 1: the new NBA. So Reggie Miller taking shots and you know,

1917
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley taking shots is just comical. These are old

1918
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: boomers who are clueless as to what's going on in

1919
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:44,600
Speaker 1: the league right now. Like, yeah, I respect Barkley for

1920
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: what he did, especially I respect him demanding he get

1921
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 1: out of Philadelphia. Go look it up. He demanded the

1922
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:55,480
Speaker 1: team trade him to Phoenix, a contender. Then he demanded

1923
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, get me the hell to Houston. Scottie Pippen

1924
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 1: a free to look this up. This I'm not this

1925
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 1: is not me talking out of my rear end. This

1926
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: is not opinion. These are facts. Go look it up,

1927
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:10,280
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen. Where Michael Jordan retired and there was a lockout,

1928
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:13,639
Speaker 1: pipp And said, Yo, I'm not staying for this. I'm

1929
01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:16,799
Speaker 1: not staying here. The GM said, you know, what Scotty,

1930
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: You were a soldier. You helped us one six titles.

1931
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Great player. We haven't paid you because we shafted you

1932
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:25,679
Speaker 1: and your agent didn't do his diligence. So where would

1933
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,560
Speaker 1: you like to go, Scotti Pippott, I'll go to Houston. Okay,

1934
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,720
Speaker 1: the gift of trade. Scottie Pipott Houston to help him out.

1935
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen instantly goes to a contender. Couldn't pull it off.

1936
01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:39,960
Speaker 1: He came close in Portland. They lost that game seven

1937
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:44,200
Speaker 1: to Shack and Kobe. Like this idea that stars in

1938
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: the nineties didn't want to play with other stars. It's

1939
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 1: just slightly different than what's happening now, same but different,

1940
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 1: you know that? Like I think that is that a meme?

1941
01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 1: Or is that like a saying same but different? Like

1942
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: that's what it was in the nineties. So b J.

1943
01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 1: Armstrong who loves to come on here and argue with

1944
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,680
Speaker 1: me about all this stuff, like it was happening in

1945
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 1: the nineties. The stars were demanding trades and this wasn't

1946
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:13,639
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley at the tail end of his careers twenty

1947
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 1: nine when he demanded to get out of Philadelphia. If

1948
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:22,600
Speaker 1: you don't have the wherewithal and the smarts to say,

1949
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,439
Speaker 1: why am I letting a front office dictate my legacy

1950
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 1: in my career? Why don't I take that into my

1951
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: own hands. You're not doing a good job. You're just not.

1952
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 1: Luka don Che has the potential to be an all

1953
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: time grade I'm not even kidding guys. This guy really

1954
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 1: he can end up and this is not hyperbole. Luka

1955
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 1: Dotes can end up an all time top ten player

1956
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 1: in NBA history. The potential is undeniably there. But he

1957
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do it alone. Magic did not do it alone.

1958
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 1: Larry Bird did not do it alone. They all were

1959
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 1: surrounded by stars. Luca don I love the guy. I

1960
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: like Christie Sportsingas he was a Knicks player. It was

1961
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 1: a Knicks hopeful, potential Unicorn bro. Luca Luca don just

1962
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: needs more help than Kristap Sportsingis, Jalen Brunson and Dorian

1963
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 1: Phinney Smith. You can laugh all you want. Luca needs

1964
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:20,080
Speaker 1: to call in the cavalry. Mark Cuban needs to call

1965
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:22,160
Speaker 1: in the cavalry. And you know what, if they can't

1966
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 1: do it, Lucas gonna say peace, I'm out. I'm gonna

1967
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: go somewhere where I can't do it. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 1: Coming up next up on game LaVar Arrington, Plaxico, Burrus,

1973
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 1: g J whosh Manzata Keavitt. I am curious. You are

1974
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 1: a big You're not Anna him Angels? Are you? I am?

1975
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 1: You are okay? Will you go to a game? Oh? Yeah?

1976
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: Have you gone to one yet? No? No, but I

1977
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,759
Speaker 1: would love to. I almost went there opening a weekend

1978
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: series against the White Sox, but wasn't able to go.

1979
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 1: I I, you know, I don't know. I haven't looked

1980
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:16,400
Speaker 1: at tickets or anything, but I'm curious. What is the situation?

1981
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 1: Do you have to wear a mask in the stadium? Yeah?

1982
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 1: I think it's mass and it's like percent capacity. The

1983
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 1: Padres game last night. What made it so cool was

1984
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 1: it was like a playoff atmosphere and you could see

1985
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 1: Dodger pictures struggling because of how rattled up the crowd was.

1986
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 1: And that's why I, you know, my hottest take that

1987
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:39,720
Speaker 1: I could I could possibly have Right now, is that

1988
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 1: some of these titles with the Lakers and Daughters we

1989
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:45,639
Speaker 1: just saw. I think we're gonna look back at them

1990
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 1: and and go, well, there were no fans there. How

1991
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: big of an impact is that, because it really does

1992
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 1: affect teams, you know in the postseason when you have

1993
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,640
Speaker 1: to go up against that. Well, for sure, that's a

1994
01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:00,879
Speaker 1: good point because heat Lakers would have been cross country

1995
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 1: travel across country. I mean that's one of the not

1996
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 1: the longest flight, but one of the longer flights in

1997
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: America coast to coast like that will wear down a

1998
01:53:08,840 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: guy like Lebron. Now, I think that I feel more

1999
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:16,680
Speaker 1: confident that the Lakers would have won if anyway, I

2000
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:19,879
Speaker 1: feel less confident that the Dodgers, in a full series,

2001
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:24,040
Speaker 1: in a full season with Kershaw having his injury issues,

2002
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:26,559
Speaker 1: would have been able to actually win the World Series

2003
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: the way. I don't know. It's just to me, I

2004
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 1: put a little bit of doubt on that one. Sorry

2005
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 1: Dodger fans, No, No, I think that's a fair statement.

2006
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:37,680
Speaker 1: Even hundred sixty two games and it's too long. We

2007
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:40,760
Speaker 1: should cut it down. It has felt felt like the

2008
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 1: year of l A with Dodgers Lakers. You see l

2009
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:51,439
Speaker 1: A making a final four run. Yeah, but how can

2010
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:55,599
Speaker 1: you argue Tampa Bay has had a I know that,

2011
01:53:55,920 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: I feel like they deserve Super Bowl champions And then

2012
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 1: they won the Pennant. So a pretty good year for

2013
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,799
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, which we don't really consider like a titan

2014
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 1: of a sports town, really had a heck of a year. Yeah. No,

2015
01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 1: that's that's a great point. Um, how much baseball have

2016
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 1: you watched Gavin so far? This? I love baseball, so

2017
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a regular season base Yeah, but I also

2018
01:54:17,360 --> 01:54:20,599
Speaker 1: play fantasy baseball, which makes it a lot of fun daily. Yeah. Yeah,

2019
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,960
Speaker 1: so it's like you have to adjust your line up. Yeah,

2020
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:25,040
Speaker 1: it takes well, I just did it right now in

2021
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,400
Speaker 1: the break. H You know, I have a Nationals player

2022
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:29,880
Speaker 1: who's out, so I swapped them out. Um, but it's

2023
01:54:29,880 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 1: just fine. You also learn a lot more about these guys,

2024
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 1: and it's such a fascinating It's so different. You know,

2025
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 1: there's so many rounds of the draft you think about.

2026
01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, guys get draft in the thirty fourth round

2027
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: in baseball, you won't see them for five years after

2028
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:47,400
Speaker 1: you draft them. So different than the NFL. Well, no, no, no,

2029
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about in the sport of baseball the

2030
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 1: way it works like and guys are in the minor

2031
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,840
Speaker 1: leagues and um, actually, today this is a fascinating thing

2032
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 1: in baseball. Today is the day where teams can sign

2033
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:03,600
Speaker 1: players um or bring them up from the minor leagues

2034
01:55:03,680 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 1: and they can retain an extra year of control. So

2035
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:11,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's a manipulation thing, and it's fascinating that

2036
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:14,040
Speaker 1: they can if they bring them up. Now they that

2037
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 1: player will have played few enough games this season that

2038
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:20,680
Speaker 1: they get to retain a year. It's so you got

2039
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 1: to hit the waiver wire. Interesting. Yeah, I mean again,

2040
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:27,520
Speaker 1: you and the fiance have a dog, so it's not

2041
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:30,240
Speaker 1: like you got the kids. So I haven't watched a

2042
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of a ton of baseball. We'll maybe put it

2043
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 1: on during dinner. Um, we started to watch Friday Night Lights.

2044
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,760
Speaker 1: That's hit the skids. We have family coming in town

2045
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:42,360
Speaker 1: all the time now because stuff's open up. Um, so yeah,

2046
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 1: we it's also just so nice to see fans back

2047
01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 1: in the stands and just seeing that. It's just really cool.

2048
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm one of these guys who after March badness is over,

2049
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: I need like a little siesta because I go hard

2050
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 1: form March badness. I try to literally watch every game.

2051
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 1: You go way hard, go probably, but I love it.

2052
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 1: Then I take a little break, and you know, I

2053
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 1: think this was probably a week I didn't watch as

2054
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: much sports. I did Dan Patrick for the first time

2055
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:14,280
Speaker 1: with Jason Smith, and um, we agreed on a lot

2056
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 1: of Jets fans. I love it. Yes to both Jets fans. Um,

2057
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm disputing. It was kind of a busy week. Next week,

2058
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 1: I think we'll be a little slower. And then comes

2059
01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:25,480
Speaker 1: to the draft. I'll be doing a draft show for

2060
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: Fox Sports with a bunch of guys. It's like a

2061
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 1: four hour draft show. It's I love that stuff. And

2062
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 1: and by the way, the difference in me on like

2063
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft compared to the NBA Draft is just staggering. Well, yeah,

2064
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,040
Speaker 1: they barely played, but yeah, college football, you have to

2065
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 1: play what three years minimum? Yeah, And that's the thing.

2066
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 1: It's the merger of college and NFL, and it's just

2067
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:52,879
Speaker 1: so exciting. So yeah, Um, the draft is in Cleveland

2068
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 1: this year, right, believe I would know. I had tickets

2069
01:56:55,680 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 1: to the last One's right, Wow, big quite a year. Um,

2070
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 1: they were gonna be on the boats remember the boats,

2071
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, and the players get drafted and they're gonna

2072
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 1: be on a boat. That's right. Yeah, you know, we're

2073
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:14,120
Speaker 1: we're looking at Vegas for our fantasy football draft for

2074
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:16,080
Speaker 1: this summer. I just don't know what the scene is, like,

2075
01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: what's the pool scene in Vegas. I'll tell you one

2076
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:21,600
Speaker 1: when my parents just went there, and one scene is

2077
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 1: that marijuana is now legal in Vegas. Yea, it is

2078
01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 1: very legal everywhere in the casinos, so they were not

2079
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 1: or at least the smell was just wreaking everywhere. Yeah,

2080
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,120
Speaker 1: that's that's a new issue. Yeah, well, listen, I'm not

2081
01:57:38,160 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 1: trying to go to the pool scene. If you have

2082
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 1: to like wear a mask at the pool like that,

2083
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:45,040
Speaker 1: ain't come on. That's you know. Well, I mean, I'm

2084
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: sure there'll be some girls where a mask covers up

2085
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 1: more than the bathing suit, But the pools in Vegas

2086
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:51,000
Speaker 1: are legendary and it's been a few years for me,

2087
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:53,200
Speaker 1: so I have that on the calendar. All right, everybody,

2088
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 1: great show, Thank you, Gavin. I always say I'm Chris
