It 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: was not the Kirk Cousins game, which will get to 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. At least it was a 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins game in my mind. But something we haven't 43 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: gotten into a lot today that I want to talk 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: about for a couple of minutes is after the Packers 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: won last night, the other they manhandle the Vikings twenty 46 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: three ten is the final. The Vikings are really not 47 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: competitive in the second half in this game. Are you 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: are you a little you were a little mixed on 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: the Packers after watching that game? Is it change your 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: opinion of the Packers at all? Yeah? Oh absolutely they were. 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: They were a team that still had too many question marks. 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: But last night I think you saw everything at the 53 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: peak of their powers and this is where they should 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: be at the end of the season. You saw the 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: defense dominate the way they did. Um, you saw Aaron Jones, 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: which now this Packers team is now Aaron Jones driven. 57 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: It's not Aaron Rodgers driven. It's Aaron Jones driven. He's dying, damic. 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: And when he's won five games all by himself this 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: year with two hundred plus yard performances, he's got nineteen touchdowns, 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that makes the offense go. 61 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: When they give him the football, good things happen. He 62 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: needs to get the ball more than ten to fifteen 63 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: times a game and get more touches than that. But 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: he is that dynamic of player, and we talked about 65 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: that listen. It's kind of like when Elway got Terrell 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Davis at the end of his career and started winning 67 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. This is where Aaron Jones is for Aaron Rodgers, 68 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: because Rogers, he's had a good season, he's been an 69 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: Avery Aaron Rodgers, but he's only got three three hundred 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: yard games. They win last night despite the fact he 71 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: didn't throw a touchdown. Third time this year they've won 72 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: a game touchdown. I think that's an impressive stat It 73 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: really is, because you said it before coming into this 74 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: year when Aaron Rodgers didn't throw a touchdown, wasn't four 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: and ten coming into the four and ten when he 76 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: didn't throw a touchdown? And this at three and oh, 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: and it tells you the team is more balanced and 78 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: have more things going and down and he has a 79 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: running back who can get into the end zone. That's 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: all the difference. Look, he's never had a run back. 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: This dynamic they've had, they've had get by running backs 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: and guys, well, let's try to get by here with 83 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: time Montgomery and move him from wide receiver to running back. 84 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: And hey, look, we hit lightning in the bottle for 85 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: four weeks, but now it's we have a loaded, fully 86 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: loaded team that can We can win a defensive struggle. 87 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: We can win a game where we have to run 88 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: the football. And now if we need to, Aaron Rodgers 89 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: can still be that quarterback that that can throw for 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: fifty yards and four touchdowns. He hasn't needed to, and 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't done it this year, but this shows you 92 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: now the balance of power as far as important to 93 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: the offense. It's Rogers has kind of taken the one 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: ABE spot to Aaron Jones because he's the guy that's 95 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: making this team go, no doubt about it, and and 96 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: it's about winning. We talked about it all the time 97 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers, he said all the right things. We've 98 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: got a new young coach, right, and the coach younger 99 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: than him. Yeah, I mean, seriously, what do you think, kid, 100 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Here's an accomplished quarterback who's won a couple of MVPs, 101 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: won a Super Ball, has the best quarterback rating of 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: any quarterback in the history of the National Football League, 103 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: has the best touchdown the interception ratio, and by far 104 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: better than any other player quarterback who's ever played in 105 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: the National Football League. So when you look at all 106 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: that stuff and that he would be willing to take 107 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: a back seat, and he has another guy here who 108 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: can who's a touchdown machine, and they're winning. They won 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: a division again, and they got a chance the last 110 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: time that they And here's the other part the stat 111 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: that jumps out at you. And if you're still not 112 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: buying into the Packers and you think it's smoking mirrors 113 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: and you really haven't watched them closely eight and one 114 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: against teams with a winning record this year, I think 115 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: that speaks violins, which of course is by far the 116 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: best record in the NFL. And you know how hard 117 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: it is to be good teams, so for the Packers 118 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. They swept the Bears 119 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: this year, they swept the Vikings, and they have the Lions. 120 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: If they win the last game of the year against 121 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: the Lions, they will swept swept the NFC North. They 122 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: had that outlier against the Chargers, though, which is one 123 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: of those way it was a bad game that one. 124 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: They would have had two really bad games. Remember that 125 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: came to California both times forty nine has never got 126 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: off the plane, and the Chargers never got off the plane. 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: They were just bad and they lost both of those games. 128 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: And the other game they lost was the Eagles. When 129 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles were deathperate, their season was on the brink, 130 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: they came in to Lambeau and they beat the Packers. Yeah, 131 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: they they beat him by a twelve and three. Look, 132 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose three games, all right. Every team is 133 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: gonna win three games. Every team is gonna lose three games. 134 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Now what do you do with the other ten? That 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: that that's kind of weirdness. But no, this this team 136 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: is now complete and it's it's Aaron Jones driven now 137 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: before we get to Kirk Cousins. Something that's that's getting 138 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: a lot of attention here. The handshake at the end 139 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: of the game last night, Matt Lafleur and Mike Zimmer 140 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the game. Look, the game had been over for a 141 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: little while because the Vikings could muster no offense against 142 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Matt Lafleur is a young coach, 143 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: he just clinched winning the division. Mike Zimmer comes to 144 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: midfield and usually get the coaches. They shake hands, they hug, 145 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: they whisper something to one another. Sometimes the conversation goes 146 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: under five or six seconds. Sometimes it's just the hands, 147 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: sometimes the handshake and a hug, and Zimmer just comes 148 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: up and gives the quick the hands and turns and 149 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: and runs away. And I thought that was a little 150 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: low class. The guy just what, Yes, you lost, right, 151 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: but show some class when you go the game is 152 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: over now. And I get that you have a lot 153 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: of emotions going on. You're up. That was a huge game, 154 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: and you're you're up. You're upset. How how how it went? 155 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: I get it. But this is not your first game 156 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: coaching in the National Football League. You've coached a long time. 157 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: This is how it works. You shake hands, you correct, 158 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: unless something happened during the game which you want to 159 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: yell at the coach for, like you're Jim Harball running 160 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: down the field going hey, great game, man, something like 161 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: that happened that he great game, because you remember the 162 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: forty nine has won the game on the last play 163 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: right at the goal line, and the Lions were rolling 164 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: back then and Schwartz was bummed out. Yeah, if this 165 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: was Belichick or Andy Reid or Mike Tomlin, people would 166 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: be losing their minds. What kind of handshake is that? No, 167 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer's got to show a little bit more class 168 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: than that. Hey, congrats, great game, congratulations. That's all right. 169 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: You don't have to hug the guy, you don't have 170 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: to be in love with them, but that if you're 171 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: going to do the handshake that Zimmer did last night, 172 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: don't even bother wave to the coach. You've seen that before. 173 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: What you just wave to wave and go to the 174 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: locker and go to the locker room, would just go 175 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: all right, I got you exactly, And that's better than 176 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: going over and giving somebody it ain't even a dead fish. 177 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that was. That was like 178 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: a fish on a hook because he pulled it back 179 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: so quick he barely touched skin. Yet nobody wants to 180 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: go congratulate the other team after again, nobody wants to 181 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: do that. But you go do especially if you get 182 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: your butt kick like that. But everybody does. Look as 183 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: a as a as a youth soccer and softball coach, 184 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: I know we lost our team. Not to equate this 185 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: with a national football league. Everybody knows. I coached my 186 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: daughter's team. We were undefeated, right, and we lost in 187 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: the semifinals, we got ripped, right, it was like eight four. 188 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: They were the better team. Girls on my team were crying. 189 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: They're so upset what happened. So we gotta go shake hands. 190 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: We go and do I want to shake hands with everybody. 191 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: They're all running through the line like, oh my goodness, 192 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The other coach is happy. He's looking 193 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: at me going, yeah, we got you. But you go 194 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: shake hands and go coach, congratulations, go win the championship. Congratulates. 195 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't want to do it, but you 196 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: gotta do it because that's how you do That's how 197 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: you show class new and you show your teammates and 198 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: you show the girls how to act. And look, Mike Zimmer, 199 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: not that he needs to show the way for other players, 200 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: but look, there's cameras on you, and you look like 201 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: a sore loser, like someone you're you're still eleven and 202 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: four and going to the playoffs and it just didn't 203 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: work out for you at home. I get it, but 204 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: this is not your first roading, right, and and that's 205 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: the way to do it. Basically, Like you say, it's 206 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: on camera. Everything is recorded now, so you need to 207 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: be like, remember, that that people are looking and you're right, 208 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: it comes off as a sore loser, all right, because 209 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: if you would have won the game, you would have 210 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: been out there for a hand, great hand. I'll shake 211 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: hands with anybody exactly because you can't have it both ways. 212 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: And that was a bad, a bad look for zimmer 213 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: On that big time. Now when you did it, uh 214 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: with the soccer team, that was tough and was bad 215 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: because you had peanut butter on your hand. It was 216 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: it was just a couple of weeks ago, so it 217 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: was tough. It was tough look at every day since 218 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: something was there, stuff I could have done during the game. 219 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: The last thing I want to do is go shake 220 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: hands because everybody else is happy and my girls are crying. 221 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: I gotta find a way to pick them up and 222 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: everything else. But you go do it because that's how 223 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: that's how it works. And I know the coaches, he's 224 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: staying blank you to me because it's like, yeah, you 225 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: didn't lose a game all year, and I got you here, 226 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: I got it all right, great, but I'll shake your hand, hey, 227 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: great game. That's how it works. And now not quite 228 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: the night that Kirk Cousins had, which is supposed to 229 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: be the Kirk Cousins game, which didn't turn out that way, 230 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: But that was according to you. I probably didn't warn 231 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: you yesterday. You did, You did, Jason Smith, Rob Parker 232 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: in for Day and the Danettes. I said last night 233 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: was going to be the Kirk Cousins game. It was 234 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: gonna be the night where he flipped the narrative O 235 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: and eight primetime games, couldn't beat good teams. It was 236 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: all set for him, a home game, everything at stake. Yes, 237 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: no Dalvin Cook, but this should have been a game 238 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: where they come out on fire, with a chance to 239 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: win the division, with a chance for home playoff games, 240 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: chance to not have to worry about going on the 241 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: road and winning somewhere you don't want to play, like 242 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: Seattle or San Francis. All those things are out there. 243 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: But instead they come up empty and lane and Cousins 244 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: has a bad game. Not to make an excuse for 245 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: him because he played poorly, but he was under a 246 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Uncharacteristically, under a lot of pressure most 247 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: of the night. They didn't run a lot of play action, 248 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: which is what the Vikings do. It's what Kirk Cousins 249 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: does pretty well. Watching the game. I just felt like 250 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: the Vikings were kind of going through the motions on 251 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: offense and almost like was it a preseason game where 252 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to show too much, oh, you know, 253 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: or for a game that was demension on the line. 254 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: That's what defend me. I don't know, you know, because 255 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to come up with a good analogy for 256 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: what it was why they played the way they did. 257 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: And I keep going back to if you told me 258 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: a football team doesn't practice for the entire week and 259 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: then just shows up for the game, that's how they 260 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: would play. I mean, offensively, that's how they would play. Defensively, 261 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: they gave up, They got gassed on the ground. This 262 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: is a pretty decent defense. It's like the Christmas week 263 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: came and the Packers practice for the game. The Vikings 264 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: took the week off and showed up Monday. Obviously they 265 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: didn't do that, but that's kind of the difference in 266 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: the level of play between those two teams. How big 267 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: about the loss of Dalvin Cook now in that game 268 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: and you know he's an engine on that team, And 269 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: I get Kirk Cousins after Week four is played a 270 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 1: lot better because he got called out early on in 271 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the season for not playing well, and he has played better, 272 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: but Dalvin Cook is a big part of that team 273 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: as well, and I think the absence of that where 274 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: you where you make them, Yeah, you just make him 275 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: make that team one dimensional where Kirk Cousins has to 276 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: be it. And the Packers were able to stop that 277 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: down because Dalvin Cook one of the best running backs 278 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: in the league, one of the top three running backs 279 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: in the league all year. So that was a big 280 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: loss for them. Yeah. The thing what you found out 281 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: last night about the Vikings is that what you want 282 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: out of your franchise quarterback is that once in a while, 283 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: you need to win a game all by yourself. By 284 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: This is what the Patriots count on Tom Brady to do, 285 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: the Packers and Aaron Rodgers mostly when you're when you're 286 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: paying a guy that kind of money, once in a while, 287 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: you gotta win a game all by yourself. Look, even 288 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo starting to do it now with the forty 289 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: nine is where they're not playing at their best level 290 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: when he didn't do that earlier in the season. Totally, 291 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: that's what you're expecting out of Kirk Cousins. Hey, dude, 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: Once in a while. You gotta win a game by 293 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: yourself here when we need it. And he's got great numbers, right, 294 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: he's gonna be enough. He's a thirty touchdown, ten interception, 295 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: forty five hundred yard a year quarterback, which you're great number. 296 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: Any team would sign up for those numbers in a second. 297 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 1: But he's not a guy that when we need a 298 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: big win, Hey, we need three touchdowns and three fifty 299 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: out of you today, he's not gonna do it. No. Well, 300 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: And it's uh, what is he now? O and nine 301 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football? The big games? Even his lifetime 302 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: record when you talk about beating teams over five hundred, 303 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: I just gave you the the Packers eight and one 304 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: mark against teams with a winning record. That's not what 305 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: he does. And I'm I'm I'm talking about Kirk Cousins. 306 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: And that might have been the reason why Washington never 307 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: committed to him, despite drafting him, despite watching every snap 308 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: every practice. They franchise tagged them twice, paid him a 309 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: lot of money with the franchise tag, but refused to 310 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: commit the kind of dollars And when you think about it, 311 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: he only got a three year deal right with Minnesota 312 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: and all guaranteed money. But that but Washington would have 313 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: no part of it. It says something that they saw 314 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: Twitter at. How about a Frescott rob at Rob Parker 315 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: FS one Jason Smith, Rob Parker in for Dan and 316 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: the Dan.

What's happening, dude? How are you? Man? 359 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 1: What's up? Good morning? Oh my good dude. I think 360 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: you missed your calling. Man. We saw this story from 361 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Sam Amick in The Athletic yesterday that according to Uncle Dennis, 362 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: according to his report, Uncle Dennis Kawhi Leonard's uncle as 363 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: that was asking teams for part ownership and a private 364 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: plane and a house and all kinds of perks to 365 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: go sign. Dude, you should have done that coming out 366 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: of school. You've been a trend center. Oh man, I 367 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know if that Ryan Hollands train was moving like that, man, Yeah, 368 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: you're trying. Probably derailed before you got there. I like 369 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: it how he went third person though, Ryan Hollows train 370 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: wasn't moving that way. You guys, you know you get 371 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: me our radio, you never know what you might get. Man. 372 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: You know how we know how we get down. Fellows, 373 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: what do you think of this story with all the 374 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: claims and it sounds like sour grapes to me, but 375 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: I want to hear what you have to say. Oh, 376 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm surprised is that the teams in free agency even 377 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: leaked that. I hear what. I definitely hear what you're 378 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: saying around That was my first thought. That's kind of 379 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: what happens in free agency kind of stays there. I 380 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: am intrigued on if the Clippers did have to bend 381 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: to that, and we can't assume to say that they 382 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: did or didn't. That's not fair, fair to do. But 383 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm really incredibly intrigued on how this process went down. 384 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: Was this was this more of a I don't want 385 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: to join Lebron, I don't want to go back to Toronto, 386 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: so I ultimately want to play with the Clippers. So 387 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: let me see what you guys are willing to give in. 388 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: But make no doubt, this is going to raise an 389 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: investigation or suspicions into the Clippers and what they were 390 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: able to do to get Kauhi. Now, ultimately I believe 391 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: and we always knew they were his favorite. The Clippers 392 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: were kind of clear cut ahead and they prepared themselves 393 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: for Kawhi Leonard. So I don't believe that they had 394 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: to do anything. I don't ultimately know. I can't speak 395 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: to that, but after what Kawhi went through and the 396 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: way he really was King of the NBA, dude, it 397 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me one bit that he had these demands. 398 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: And I can't say that if I wasn't Kawhi Leonard 399 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: and I got traded, left for dead and win the championship, 400 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't ask for the whole house, man, ownership, private plane, 401 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: you know. I mean all these things too, And you 402 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: know professional sports, these things are those type of assets 403 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: aren't that far away for those type of players. You 404 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: do what you have to do because you know he 405 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: means your friends side and Ryan, I'm with you. It's negotiation. 406 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: You asked for the moon, you don't know what they 407 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: might give you a come up with. But the other 408 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: part is, don't forget every time he moved. When he 409 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: left San Antonio, he lost forty million. When he went 410 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: to Toronto, he lost forty do you know what I mean? 411 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: He lost a lot of money on moving around, no doubt. 412 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: So so that's why he couldn't get that deal. And 413 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: but this is to me sala grace by the Lakers 414 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: to leak this out, to put this out allegedly. But 415 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: this is what I This is where I think, what 416 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: else would they get that story? How else would they 417 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: know what was in negotiations. I'm just saying allegedly by 418 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: the Lakers. It comes off as sour grapes. Well, well, 419 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: the big thing is it's not about the Kawhi Leonards, 420 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: It's about the next Kawhi Leonards. Yes, uh, And you 421 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: do have to be careful how you respond or how 422 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: you leak private information. I don't know how it happened, 423 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: but somebody, somebody gave it up or somebody, you know, 424 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: it may have been so profound um in the sense 425 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: that you go, can you believe, Oh he asked for 426 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: this and this that's why he and I know how 427 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: these situations go. I remember, uh, in Cleveland when I 428 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: joined the team post Lebron, and there is a big 429 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: courtship in Cleveland for Dan Gilbert and everybody to keep Lebron. 430 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: And there was such a disdain not just from the 431 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: fact that Lebron had left, but it was the extra 432 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: was that everybody, that everybody had to walk on and 433 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: it was a frustration and just echoed through the entire 434 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: organization that you would be the guy fired if you 435 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: were the chef and you messed up Lebron's eggs. You 436 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: rate him, you know what I'm saying. So everyone having 437 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: to walk on those eggshells is what was frustrating. It 438 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily that he left and that he kept the 439 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: card so tight. So now those same frustrations to spill 440 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: out because the thin line between loving and hats, between 441 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Hollands and Rod Parker and Jason spill starts to 442 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: still out guys when they don't show up. Well, what 443 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: wasn't that the deal you made with Cleveland when you 444 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: requested a limousine and a bottle of champagne to and 445 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: from every practice? I think it came in the former 446 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 1: now and later no extra paratites and um, and then 447 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: I got the deluxe room rather than the standards. Well 448 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: you could, well you could put the two beds together 449 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: so that I got the double beds. Okay, but say, 450 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: what's the weirdest thing you heard either you, yourself or 451 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: somebody else ask for in a contract? Well, well, you 452 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: know it's interesting. I don't know if you guys know this, 453 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and you know stood out when it was told to me. 454 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: The love of the game clause um for those who 455 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's not a sexy is what you 456 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: were looking for, Jason, But the love of the game 457 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: clause means if I am signed to your team and 458 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: I get hurt outside of a team obligation, uh, I 459 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: forget what's to get from the Sonics? You remember, you 460 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: remember it Rob Park Rob and he got hurt snowboarding. 461 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: His contract can be voided because he was snowboarding. But 462 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: if you have love of the game, you can go 463 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: out and get hurt, perhaps in a pick up basketball game, 464 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: and your contract won't be voided, right right, even though 465 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: it's not a team, even though it's not a team 466 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: sanctioned team exactly, and say, hey, we know this guy is, 467 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, working on his game, so if he goes 468 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: out and he gets hurt, it's okay. You actually have 469 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: to get that in the contract. You remember that. But 470 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: you remember Jay Williams uh with the Bulls was in 471 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: a motorcycle, actually he was driving his motorcycle and he 472 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: was seriously injured, and the Bulls didn't have to give 473 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: him any money, if I remember correctly, they gave him 474 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: a million dollars as a parting gift when they didn't 475 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: buy buy a contract. Didn't have to give him anything. Yeah, yeah, no, 476 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: they do not have to be because he was not 477 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: a team essentially a team event. So yeah, it's it's 478 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: just intriguing. There's a lot of different elements. So you know, 479 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: we know and obviously let's say you tried for lesser 480 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: team goes, but well, I only have only had the 481 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: mid level or half the midlevel for you, which at 482 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: you know, my time, half of five minutes with two 483 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: point five million, who knows what it's now three to 484 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: six seven, half that mid level. They go, well, maybe 485 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: we can take care of you another way, you know, 486 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: So you do. You try to be creative in some 487 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: of those circumstances, but it really hampers the teams because 488 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: there's only so much that they can do. And like 489 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: we saw what right out with Minnesota when they got 490 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: Joe Smith. You know, they're trying to do whatever they 491 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: can get them there a small market teams, but they 492 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: got penalized heavily because they went outside of the CBA. 493 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Hollinands with us here on the Dan Patrick Show. 494 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: Brought you buy Mercedes AMG be prepared for whatever comes 495 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: your way in the all new GT four door coup. 496 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: Because life is a race, visit your local dealership for 497 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: a test drive today. All right, So, Ryan, if everything 498 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: is equal tomorrow and Kawhi is playing, and Lebron is playing, 499 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: and a D is playing, how does Lakers Clippers go? 500 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: It'll be the Clippers by five, between five and ten. 501 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: The reason that I would say the Clippers is right now, 502 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: Frank Vocals put in the new system, new system, everything's new. 503 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: The best thing that the Lakers are doing is again 504 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: it done defensively, but offensive they're they're not that great. 505 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: So when Lebron and Ad go against guys that are 506 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: equally matched as far as talent wise, size wise, and 507 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: they can't just overpower them, they're having problems right now. 508 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: Not because they're bad players, are bad basketball team, but 509 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: now your execution is going to have to have to 510 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: show out and prevail. And that's something right now that 511 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: the Lakers are missing and the Clippers. You know Kawhi Leonard, 512 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: the best part about him, he's a plug and play 513 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: type of player. What I mean, you plug him in, 514 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: he defends and the hit shots. You don't necessarily even 515 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: have to run place for him. And that comes from 516 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: playing and Antonio early in his career, they didn't run 517 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: place for him, and Collide said, and how to be 518 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: effective without the basketball in hand. So that's why he 519 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: fits with the Clippers a lot. Seemed more seamless than 520 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and Lebron than the rest of that crew 521 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: over there. How about the Lakers start. Obviously most people 522 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: were surprised schedule was a little soft earlier than they 523 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: wind up eating some pretty good teams on the road. 524 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: So it's a legit start. But isn't it in the 525 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: NBA more about how you finished going heading into the 526 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: playoffs rather than how you start. Sometimes I think when 527 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: you look at even what the Lakers did, they didn't 528 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: even have the best They were tied for the best record, 529 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: and even the Clippers, who didn't have Paul George the 530 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: entire year and Kawhi Lennon missing eight games, only had 531 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 1: two losses two wins less than the Lakers, and they 532 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: had an unbelievable start. Yeah, no, you know, you're absolutely right. Um, 533 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: I will say the one thing to the Lakers credit. Um, 534 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: they've impressed me defensively. That's something that we didn't see 535 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: coming absolutely, and they got well, hey, well heck you 536 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: get the White Hall by accident. That's just guy's greats. Okay, 537 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: they can't even credit credit for that. But when you 538 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: go out and you defend, it patches up a lot 539 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: of holes that we didn't see last year. And everybody 540 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: kept trying to pay what's wrong with the Lakers. What's 541 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: wrong with the Lakers last year? They don't play any defense. Guys, 542 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: that's a big part. When you play defense, it allows 543 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: you a buffer. Go ahead and watch Tom Brady. Tom 544 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: Brady's gonna slop his way to a playoff winner. Two. 545 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: Why because they're gonna grind you out and they're gonna defend. 546 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: And that's what the Lakers they have. They become comfortable 547 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: comfortable with coming out and playing defense and winning games 548 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: that the hard way. No, obviously they're gonna lose some 549 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: tough games. They're gonna get to a point like against 550 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: that Milwaukee game, where you're gonna this fight again another day. 551 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna give a push and then if we don't 552 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: have it, guys, we're gonna chalk it up and go 553 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: home because there's much more left the season. But defensively 554 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: with that veteran squad, they got rolling. And what's interesting 555 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: with the Lakers this year right now opposed it last 556 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: year and a couple of other organizations. You don't see 557 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: a lot of youth on that team. So that's why 558 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: you get into grooves where veterans you don't have to 559 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: coach them up too much. A man come out and 560 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: do what you do. Jared Dudley goes to in the 561 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: cornerhad to freeze Avery Bradley pick up full court. I 562 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: know who you're gonna be from night tonight. And that's 563 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: why the Lakers have had a lot of success. But 564 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: they still have a lot to figure out. So the 565 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: best is yet to come for the seed. NBA analyst 566 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins with us. You can fam on Twitter at 567 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: the Ryan Hollins.

But you know, the big topic between the 602 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: Lakers and the Clippers the past week has been the 603 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: revolving war around load maintenance. Load load Uh? What was it? Management? 604 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: Load management? From load maintenance and it's it's a bad name. 605 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm using it around my house now. But why, 606 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: I said, what are we gonna do to go nothing? 607 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: I need? I need a load management day. I need 608 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: a load maintenance day. I'm just gonna work la and 609 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: stare on the couch and watch Marvelous Missus Maizel. So 610 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: it was kind of fired off the kawhile Leonard to 611 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: sat out a bunch of games. Doc Rivers was asked 612 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: about the load maintenance situation and he said, well, Clippers, 613 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: we do what we do in the Lakers or whatever 614 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: Lebron wants. Lebron runs around and says, listen, when if 615 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, I'm playing. And with this, the guys that 616 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: are that are questionable. Lebron in a d This is 617 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: more injury preventative maintenance than it is load management. But 618 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: the reason Lebron can stand up and say, hey, I'm playing. 619 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: If I'm healthy, I'm playing is because, make no mistake 620 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: about it, last year, the entire year for Lebron James 621 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: was load management. He comes to LA he's here for 622 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: twelve hours, agrees to come to the Lakers, takes off 623 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: on vacation, comes back, doesn't really meet the media, never 624 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: gets no, he didn't never had a press never had 625 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: a press conference, shows up, never endears himself to his teammates. 626 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Pizza thing, he also had a pizza party or whatever. 627 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: So all these people showed up, but he but he 628 00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: put it out there on his uh there there one 629 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: hundred degrees that day out there, and what happens? Then 630 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: his wife puts on picture on Instagram of Lebron in 631 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: the pool. Even though I said, Blaze Pizza in Culver City, 632 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm not coming there, all right. His entire year has 633 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: been I'm here, and that's all that matters. When he 634 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: gets their beginning of the year, he announces four business 635 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: deals because he wanted Los Angeles. He wanted the Lakers 636 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: for the brand as he's setting up his life both basketball, 637 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: but he kept every one of his teammates at arms length. 638 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: The young players never embraced him. He never embraced them. 639 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: He only celebrated big plays with the veterans. When he 640 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: broke the scoring mark, nobody really went crazy congratulating him. 641 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: How many weeks was he out with a groin injury 642 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: that was supposed to be day to day and then 643 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: he came back and said that, what was it? Playoff mode? 644 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: He had activated playoff mode? Yeah, and then they lost 645 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: to the Sons, the Grizzlies, and the Hall and he 646 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: was done and it was all over. All of last year, 647 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: both physically and mentally for him, was load maintenance. Because 648 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: Lebron is about finals and when championships. He knew last 649 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: year wasn't a year for that. He knew the Lakers 650 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: weren't talented. Nothing. Even if he finds a way to 651 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: get them in the playoffs, they're just gonna lose to 652 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 1: the Rockets or Golden State because they were both loaded. 653 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: So I'm taking this year off. I'm gonna save miles 654 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: on my legs, and then when we get a team 655 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: that I'm ready to embrace, then I'm ready. And I 656 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: said it last year. You watching the Lakers get Anthony 657 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: Davis in the offseason. Lebron is gonna be reinvested. He's 658 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna play at a Hall of Fame level like he's 659 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: played with, and all the pundits and experts are gonna go, Boy, 660 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: we shoveled dirt to Lebron James too soon. No, last 661 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: year was a load maintenance year. So he's fresher this 662 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: year so he can play well in all of his 663 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: games and handle the ball a lot. That's what it's 664 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: all about. He took an entire season of load maintenance. 665 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: I get all that, but I still say, in year seventeen, 666 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: you just don't know as we go. I think Lebron 667 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: has overdone it. From the standpoint up. He had something 668 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: to prove this year because they didn't make the playoffs. 669 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: People talk bad about him. He didn't play defense often, 670 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: Am I right? It was? Do you remember the video 671 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: that's probably one of the worst piece of play to 672 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: get his man, Kuzma pushed him towards a guy with 673 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: a ball, like like, dude, get out there, what are 674 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: you doing? And you know that's how bad it was. 675 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: Last year there was another one where Lebron left his 676 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: man wide open and and the guy knocked down an 677 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: open three and Lebron put his hands up like like 678 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: what was that? No, that was your guy? Yeah, yeah, 679 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: it look it looked drinking wine on the sidelines. I 680 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: mean a lot of bad looks. Like, there were a 681 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: lot of bad looks. And this year I think he 682 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: came out with like the vengeance to try to prove 683 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: to people that know he's not done. And he for 684 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: the most part, he's played he's played really, really well. 685 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: I guess this is not what you expected. You look, Lebron, 686 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: We'll see how long. We'll see how long it lasts. 687 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: As far as you know, the Father time is undefeated 688 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: and and people canna act like you're gonna play like 689 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: that forever. Seventeen years is unbelievable, right, But you're gonna 690 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: the Lakers needed to start big because of all the 691 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: disappointing seasons. The Clippers, Hey, we got Kawhi, we got 692 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 1: Paul George. All right, we can kind of motor our 693 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: way to the playoffs and everything. The Lakers because of 694 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: the recent history they have in which they've been terrible 695 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: and last year where they told fans be patient and 696 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: let Lebron get into things, it never materialized. You can't 697 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: say be patient again. When you add to Anthony Davis. 698 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: Now you have two of the top five players in 699 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: the NBA. So they needed this start. Well, they'll come 700 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: back to the mean a little bit, and you will 701 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: see some load maintenance days disguised as well. Lebron's dealing 702 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,959 Speaker 1: with a tweak Tammy or a tweet Kaffer, we're sitting 703 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: him out this game. You'll see that, and they'll kind 704 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: of come back to the pack a little bit. But 705 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: they needed this start because they couldn't get out to 706 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: a start where suddenly finger pointing would happened, the fans 707 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: and the media would get all uneasy and there would 708 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: be a lot of unrest and whose fault is it? 709 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: Lebron is not Kobe, and suddenly you're dealing with a 710 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: lot of crap, So the Lakers needed that start right here. 711 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Rob Parker in for Dan 712 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: The Danets coming up next.

A Jets insider with the New York 773 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: Daily News published this piece this morning in which Adam 774 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: Gase is not portrayed in a very favorable life when 775 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the New York Jets. The Daily News 776 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: learned that Gays has privately told people from months that 777 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: the Jets fans, die hard fans, have never mattered to him. 778 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: Oh that's that's nice coming from a coach of a 779 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: team in that city.

According to a Jet source, 783 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: he is an insecure guy. So number one, now, I 784 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: don't care about the fans. Now this story is out 785 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: and the fans already hate him, hate him more because 786 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: you can never You never take on the fans, and 787 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: when no one can ever as big a player or 788 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: a coach as you are, you don take on the 789 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: fans and win. The fans will always win. I always 790 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: say it. Yep, don't take on the fans, don't take 791 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: on the media.

You don't have to say that. 794 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: You just don't say that. The people who have to play. 795 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 1: You know what, people give up hard earned money. They're 796 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: not making six figures. They're saving their money right to 797 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: go buy tickets to go to games. That's what they do. 798 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: And then you're gonna rub my face in and on 799 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: how rich you are and you don't give a damn 800 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: about us. And I'm gonna say that, I mean fans 801 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: thinking that that that you don't give you don't care Gay. 802 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: According to the report, Gays has also said behind closed 803 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: doors that his give a blank meter is low since 804 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: he's got enough money in the bank now because of 805 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: this deal with Christopher Johnson who signed him, who sat 806 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Gays is our coaches 807 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: this year and next year. Oh really, Jets, you know 808 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: this is such a typical. This is so totally Jets. 809 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: This is your Christmas Eve. The Jets can't have nice 810 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: things and we get this story on Christmas Eve that 811 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: just reinforces knowing that Adam Gaze is a bad cut. 812 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: Is this coal and you're stocking? Is that basically what 813 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: this is? The only silver lining is now? Is this 814 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: the Christmas gift in which the Jets now have to 815 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: reassess that he's the guy for the team and they 816 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: make a different decision in the offseason or is this, Hey, 817 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,439 Speaker 1: guess what blank you? Because you're stuck without him Gaze 818 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: for at least one more year. I got a text 819 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: from a former executive in sports not not like I'm 820 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: not saying what sport of who he is? Okay, what 821 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: did Mike Tannebaum said? And basically what did Wayne Fons 822 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: tell you? Yes? And basically I said to this executive 823 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: that he should be fired, and that executive said to me, 824 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 1: spot on, like that is as bad? Do you want 825 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: to talk about PR? Do you wanna talk about PR 826 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: for an organization and have to deal with your fans 827 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: and have a coach and and have this hit the 828 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: the daily news for everybody to read and everybody around 829 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: the country. It's a bad look. And where are the Jets? 830 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: Where's the comment? Where are they gonna ignore this? Can 831 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: you ignore this? Jason can't you can't ignore it. But 832 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna not have a press conference, and when he does, 833 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: he'll have his hat really low. The lower his hat 834 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,479 Speaker 1: gets on his head, the more pissed at him. Gaze cats, 835 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: he's got that hat really really looking at tacos as 836 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: they're flying around. The bottom line is he's not a 837 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: good coach and he believes so much in what he does, 838 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: which is great, but he's also someone that doesn't believe 839 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: in bending at all. And when you go from being 840 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: fired as a head coach because you didn't win enough games, 841 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: you got blown out in games, Well, he doesn't give 842 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: a blank because he's rich. But when you go from 843 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: being fired because you don't win enough games and the 844 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: players don't like you, and then you see players like 845 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill doing so well not around Adam Gaze, and 846 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: you get another job right away, you're never going to 847 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: have any self reflection that, Okay, maybe I need to 848 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: change a little bit the way I do things. No, 849 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: according to Minishman, to this report, he's not going to 850 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 1: change the way he does things. And how is that 851 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: going to work for the Jets. There's still six and nine. 852 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Sam Darnald in the offense has not come along at all, 853 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: and he's found a way to take the best running 854 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: back in the NFL and not use him. I'm sorry, 855 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: but even if you don't like to feature running backs, 856 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to get Levy on velvet 857 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: football more. But he's been a guy that in the 858 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: off season. Now, if Adam Gaze is gonna be the coach, yeah, 859 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: they have to trade him because they may as won't 860 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: get something for him if they're not going to use him. 861 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: I mean, what team has the best player in the 862 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: game at their position and says, Nope, I'm not going 863 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: to use him. Adam gas is a bad coach. I 864 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 1: got I'm stuck with him. And you know what, maybe 865 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: we should that T shirt we're talking about for Adam 866 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: Gays I'm rich as blank. No, it should be. Now, 867 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: I'm rich, I'm rich co tight as blank. That should 868 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: be a T shirt. I'm rich coch tight as black. 869 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: What about Buddy sent me that. That's pretty funny. Look, 870 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,959 Speaker 1: here's another part of the column about how the team 871 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: views him as a glorified offensive coordinator. He doesn't even 872 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: participate in the defensive side of practice. That there's been 873 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: practices this year where when the defense is doing things. 874 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: He's got his back turn to the field, he's talking 875 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: to the offense. And there's times where the defense is 876 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: still practicing and Gas has left the practice field. The 877 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: team is looking at Greg Williams as their defacto leader. 878 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: The defensive players look at Greg Williams as a de 879 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 1: facto leader. And why are the Jets playing? Okay? The 880 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: defense is keeping them in all of these games. You know, 881 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 1: sant Ralod has played better, but Sam Garnold's not throwing 882 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: for four touchdowns a week. This is a defense that 883 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: has no playmakers. They can't cover anybody. They can't they 884 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: don't have any running, any linebackers that make plays. They 885 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback. And still they're shutting teams down, 886 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: forcing turnovers. This is why the team is winning and 887 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: to see Adam Gays be continue to allow to operate 888 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: when when these are the stories that this is not 889 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: the first, You've heard stories like this is the third 890 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: or fourth, but this is really this is really bad. 891 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: It rubs the fans face in it. And uh, if 892 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: the Jets New York Jetropolitans don't come out and try 893 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: to like squash this or you know what, I mean 894 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: or or have Adam Gays stand up there and and 895 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: talk about his respect for the fans and people, you know, 896 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: pay the hard earned money, even though I don't believe 897 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: that they will. It's a it's a bad look for 898 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: the Jets and for Gays, I mean seriously going forward. 899 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: But at least to put the spin on this is 900 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: that sometimes this is why I exist because my sports 901 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 1: teams are feudal and they never win. And so if 902 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: your team is having a bad lists, all right, yeah, 903 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't expect a lot because I know it's gonna go. 904 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: But I'm here for you. I'm here for everybody because 905 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 1: you can say, listen, my team's not playing well. They've 906 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 1: they've not been uh had a good last couple of seasons. 907 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't like the head coach, I don't like the manager, 908 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: I don't like my quarterback, I don't like my who 909 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: my outfield is. Just realize that you're rooting for teams 910 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: that are better than mine, and you know, it's always 911 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: nice to know that there's someone below you that's having 912 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,439 Speaker 1: a more miserable sports existence and that makes you happy. 913 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: So I'm here for that. It's a good Christmas wish 914 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: for it is good.
