Speaker 2: All right, welcome in What Right with Nick Wright? Episode

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: two fifty one, little late start today. That's my fault.

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: Apologies for that, so let's get right to it. Here's

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: what missed the cut? Just an objectively bad haircut from

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, a bat like the buzz cuts. One thing.

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: I don't really love that photoshop of me. I gotta

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: be honest, but the M and M platinum blonde is

16
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: way worse. Diduh you know what? But it does allow

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: Coco Golf is gonna be a flag bear alongside Lebron

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: and the NBA picks. Amazon over TNT. I'm gonna tell

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: you something de Monsey you don't know real quick, uh,

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: and then we'll get into the show. I forgot about

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: this and then just remembered when I saw that picture

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: of me. I think my junior or senior year of

23
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: high school. We you know what, in my senior year,

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: we were all shaving our heads, everyone on the basketball team.

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: When I say shaving our heads, I mean bicking like

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: stone bald all the all the senior basketball players were

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: doing it. So right before the season got going was Halloween,

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: and so I went as Eminem for Halloween, and I

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: dyed my hair like Joe Burrows is, and of I

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: have a vivid memory, vivid memory of I Also, god,

31
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: I was such an idiot. But nineties kids will get this.

32
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: In the nineties, it didn't matter how nice your car was.

33
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: What mattered was did you have subwoffers in the back?

34
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: Did your trunk like rattle from the base of the

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: music you were listening to, like you the that is

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: what that is what defined it. Did you have a

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: good amp, did you have a couple of twelves? Whatever

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: it is? And I had big subwoofers in the back,

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: and then also a light. God, I would have hated

40
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: me as a teenager, A red, white and blue like

41
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: little light in my back window that according to the

42
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: beat of the song with light up via vibration. All right,

43
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: so I give it a bet it was really hitting

44
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: it with it would flash whatever. So we are driving

45
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: to a Halloween party high school. I am wearing an

46
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: all the Lord jumpsuit, which I still would wear to

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: this day, bleach blonde hair, and probably some fake jewelry

48
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: as part of the costume. I'm driving and my light

49
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: is like for a couple blocks, malfunctioning and flashing, flashing email.

50
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: The music's not playing crazy, like, what is going on?

51
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: I then realize my light is not malfunctioning. I have

52
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: had a cop trying to pull me over for blocks,

53
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: but I've been driving thinking it's my own light, the red,

54
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: white and blue whatever it is. I then pull over

55
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: and I just remember this police officer coming to my window.

56
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm just an idiot teenager dressed like eminem with freshly

57
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: dyed hair, and as best he can tell, I have

58
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: been evading him for blocks. It's like what He's like,

59
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: did you not see me trying to pull you over?

60
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like do I explain to him that I

61
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: have almost assuredly an illegal light in the back of

62
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: my car, or do I just fall on the story here? Uh,

63
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: that's really apropos of nothing, except I try to every

64
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: time that you've aged out of this, but now your

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: sister is aged into it. Every time one of my

66
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: kids does some a dumb teenage thing that just infuriates me,

67
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: I try to remind myself of those types of moments,

68
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: like how did my mom. I don't remember how my

69
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: mom reacted when I came home at midnight that night

70
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: she saw I had dyed my hair and I told her,

71
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: oh yeah, By the way, I got a ticket for something,

72
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: and included on the ticket was like failure to yield

73
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: or pull over whatever, the violation of not evading pulling vaide.

74
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't think it was evading. I don't think they

75
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: wrote me up for like, you know, fleeing. But it

76
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: was something, all right. So that that's the best thing

77
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: to come out of Joe Burrow's ridiculous hairstyle. Is I

78
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: got was reminded of and told that story? All right,

79
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: pal let's get to some football here.

80
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: So let's check on our NFC title contenders. Shall we. Yeah,

81
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: so we got Dallas had that awful offseason. CD is

82
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: holding out and they still need to extend Dak Prescott.

83
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers had you demanded trade a while ago,

84
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: they didn't do that. Now Trent Williams is holding out

85
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: and reports are saying that hurts and Sirianni's relationship is

86
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 3: a work in progress. Whose problems of those do you

87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: think are the worst?

88
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think they're all bad, man. So the Niners

89
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: are in the best shape, but the Niners have two

90
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: of their best players not there. And I listen, I

91
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: talked about this on the show yesterday, so we're gonna

92
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time on this opening topic. So

93
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: I want to start with the Niners. So I just

94
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: kind of did a cursory list in my head and

95
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: then on the show yesterday of skill positioned studs on

96
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: your team, of you know, the best quarterbacks are teams

97
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: that made the playoffs, So the running back, wide receiver,

98
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: tight end last season? How many A you know, a

99
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: A A plus type of guys does did your team

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: have last year? So like, here's a guy that gets

101
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: a lot of credit, demonse, your guy Jordan Love had

102
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: zero zero guys that were definitive stars last year at

103
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver, tight end or running back, and they still

104
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: made the postseason. A bunch of quarterbacks had just one.

105
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: Mahomes had, Kelsey, Dak had cd CJ. You could say

106
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: had zero. Nico I think edged into that group, but

107
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: it's close, and I'm you know, Lamar only had Mark

108
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: Andrews really and then he got hurt, right, Yeah, A

109
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: few guys have two. Joe Burrow, I know he was

110
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: hurt last year, but as Higgins and Chase Uh, you

111
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: could say the Jalen Hurts has A J and Davante

112
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 2: this year maybe three if you include Saquon in that group. Purty,

113
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: of course, last year, had four in Cimac, Kittle, Deebo

114
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: and Ayuk, Which is what makes the Niners not trading

115
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: Ayuk so curious to me, because even if they had now,

116
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 2: I understand why they didn't. Won't don't want to trade

117
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: him now because anything they get from him now won't

118
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: help you this season, but it would help you in

119
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 2: If you had done it before the draft, you would

120
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: still have a bit of an embarrassment of riches. You'd

121
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: still have an excellent wide receiver, a top three tight

122
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: end in the best running back in football. But I'm

123
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: not trying to have a long party conversation right now.

124
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: I think they understand what that quarterback needs. Another guy

125
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: who made the playoffs and had two absolute studs but

126
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: still just two is tua in Tyreek and Waddle and

127
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: then good players other places. But they're not gonna trade Ayuk,

128
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: and Ayuk's canna end up coming back, whether he gets

129
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: paid more or not. Trent Williams is a trickier one.

130
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Trent Williams might be the single most important player on

131
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: the team because the rest of the offensive line isn't great.

132
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: He is the best tackle in the whole sport. And

133
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: Trient's I think, thirty six years old and still amazing.

134
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: And he yeah, he is thirty six years old? Is

135
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: that right? No? Man? Yes, he turned thirty turn yeah,

136
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: turned thirty six last week actually, and understands he's probably

137
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: not going to get another contract because he has three

138
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: years left on this deal, so he wants more money now.

139
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: I think they have to flinch when it comes to

140
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: Trent Williams. So I think the Niners will be okay

141
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: for this season, but they're in an interesting spot moving forward.

142
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Dallas objectively horrifying offseason lost multiple offensive linemen, did not

143
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: address the running back position, have not gotten deals done

144
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: with any of their three best players, their star defensive player,

145
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: their star wide receiver, and their franchise quarterback. And Jerry

146
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: said he wanted to wait for more leaves to fall.

147
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: The only really leaves left are his own guys. And

148
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: you are now staring at Micah expecting thirty five million

149
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: a year because Nicki Bosa makes thirty four CD expecting

150
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: thirty five million a year because that's what Justin Jefferson makes,

151
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: and Dak's gonna and Dak is going to not sign

152
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: for a dollar less than sixty million a year, which

153
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: to me means they're not going to be able to

154
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: keep all three. And so for this year they'll have

155
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: all three again. A lot of the for the Niners

156
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: and Cowboys, the issues aren't about this season. They're about

157
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: what it means down the road. Because the Niners are

158
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: gonna have I think, this whole team together for this season.

159
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are gonna have this whole team together for

160
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: this season. They're their issues for this season. The Cowboys

161
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: are not addressing running back. How you know do they

162
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: have is the center position. Take care of those things.

163
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: The Eagles. The stuff is concerning the Diana Russini report

164
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: demase that said Sirianni and Jalen Hurt's relationship is a

165
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: work in progress. This is Sirianni's fourth years the head coach.

166
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: Jalen's been the starting quarterback the whole time, like the

167
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: the let me tell you this right now, any relationship

168
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: that four years in your leg is a work in progress.

169
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: That's just what it's gonna be. It's not all of it.

170
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: Like listen, those first four years we didn't really like

171
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: each other. But let me, I mean, that's not that.

172
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: And so it's a weird spot. And they have very

173
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: different personalities, and in my opinion, the different personalities can

174
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: work if the roles were flipped, if the braggadocious, over

175
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: the top guy is the player and the reserved, cool,

176
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: calm collections. I'm not saying Sirianni's the problem necessarily. What

177
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: I'm saying is you don't have to have the same

178
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: personality to get along. But what is very tough is

179
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: if the one who's the more flamboyant the wrong word

180
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: but kind of in your face live wire, that needs

181
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: to be the player role, not the coach role. And

182
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 2: so you know, so I under say it's not coach quarterback,

183
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: but Travis Kelcey Andy Reid have a similar dynamic of

184
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: Sirianni and Hurts, but the roles are reversed. Yeah, Andy

185
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: Reid's the stoic, you know what I means, his mind right,

186
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: but it's but it can work in that situation. And

187
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: so I think that folks need to remember the Philadelphia

188
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: Eagles from Week one to the end of the year

189
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: last year were a bottom five defense. You then add

190
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: to it that the offense seemed to somewhat fall apart

191
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: over the final month and half of the year. They

192
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: lost six of their final seven games, and in that

193
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: playoff game it looked like they quit flatly quit. So

194
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: all of this is really a preamble to why demonse

195
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: I think I'm picking the Bears to win the NFC

196
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: because there isn't There is not a clear cut end

197
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: boss they have to get through. There are big issues

198
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: with every known quantity team. The other team that comes

199
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: to mind is the Rams, But the Rams might have

200
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: suffered the single biggest loss of any team in the

201
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: league this offseason with Aaron Donald retiring like that can't

202
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: be it. It's it's not looked at the same as

203
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: if Aaron I feel like if Aaron Donald had left

204
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: the Rams to go play for the Texans, that when

205
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: we talk about the Rams, there would be more discussion about, oh,

206
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: and they lost Aaron Donald. But because he retired and

207
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: he's out of the league, I just don't think it's

208
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: at the front of people's mind. And I get he

209
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: was not still peak Aaron Donald, but what he was

210
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: was at worst, at worst the third best player in

211
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: the league at his position, and some would argue he

212
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: was still the best. Some people think he was still

213
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: better than Chris Jones. Uh, and so he's probably the

214
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: second best he tackle in the league. That guy leaves

215
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: and so I So I like the Rams a lot,

216
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: but there's a yeah, but there there's no one in

217
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: the NFC South that I is a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

218
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't buy Atlanta like that. That then does leave

219
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: the two other NFC North teams, the Lions and the Packers.

220
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: The Packers were a nine win team last year, so

221
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: the gap between them and Chicago wasn't as great as

222
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: it is in our mind's eye, and that Obviously, Chicago

223
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: made massive upgrades this offseason. Now the Packers upgrade was

224
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: they're so young, everyone got better, and then there is

225
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: Detroit and maybe it'll be Detroit. But the teams that

226
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: are kind of the NFC standard bearers the last few

227
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: years all have real yeah butts about them, which is

228
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: why it could be which is why it could be

229
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: a weird season.

230
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: Did you predict the Bears to go eleven and six

231
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two?

232
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: I mean possibly, so I'm not sure. I can't tell

233
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: you the exact record prediction. I do the Daniels saying

234
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: yes in twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three. Are

235
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: we talking about two years ago or last year? Guys

236
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: cut the okay? So two years ago?

237
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: Uh?

238
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I was that was, Oh that

239
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: makes sense, Yeah, because I thought justin Fields, if let

240
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: me see if I have this right, Bears, the that

241
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: was I think the Bears were coming off. I'm gonna

242
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: look this up exactly. Uh not that it's a super relevant. Yeah.

243
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: So the Bears had what they had gone to the

244
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: playoffs in twenty twenty. The next year was was that

245
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: Field's rookie year? Yeah? I think so? Where they kind

246
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: of ripped everything down. And then that year I thought

247
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: Fields was gonna take a jump. Instead they won three games,

248
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that was and they ended up

249
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: I think, well, they had the number one pick of

250
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: the draft. Yeah. So I've been high on the Bears

251
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: incorrectly in the past, but this this is a little

252
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 2: different situation where they added Roma Dunes, they brought in

253
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. They're coming off seven wins.

254
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: So those of the n the NFC contenders that we

255
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: talked about initially, like Dallas, San Francisco, and uh, who's

256
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: the team in Philly? Does any of those those mishaps

257
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: bring you more joy than one of the others.

258
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: No, none of it brings me joy. I'm a positive guy.

259
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: I don't root for team's downfall. I there there are

260
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: certain teams that I think need their come up ince

261
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: and I thought that. I thought Philly whining about the

262
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: turf in the Super Bowl consistently and then Sirianni yelling

263
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: at Chiefs fans after that regular season win. I thought

264
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: that was, you know, they they deserved their come up

265
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: and as I said, and they got it by executing

266
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: one of the greatest collapses in NFL history, the cowb

267
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: I feel badly for Cowboys fans at this point. They

268
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: win twelve games every year. I bought into him last

269
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: year and then they they just expect the playoff collapse

270
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: and I got listen. I think the Niners. I think

271
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Shannan's a brilliant coach. I think they're an incredibly

272
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: well run team. Niner fans don't like me because I

273
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: won't fall for the okie oak on brock Perty the

274
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: way I wouldn't fall for the okie oak on Jimmy Garoppolo,

275
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: and people get mad about that. Now, Purty's better than Garoppolo,

276
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: but it's it's as if we haven't seen these exact

277
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: beats before, and so we'll see if I end up

278
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: being wrong with it. I don't really root against any

279
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: of these teams. I'm getting close to rooting against the

280
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: Bengals because of Jamar Chase, but I like Joe Burrows

281
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: so much that's gonna be hard.

282
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: To wait, what but the because of what he said

283
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: on the top one hundred things like what are you

284
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: talking about here?

285
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: It's yeah, I mean, it's just a lot. It was

286
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Jamar the whole Bengals. It started with burrowhead and then

287
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 2: it's the Joe Burrow says is handles it properly. I

288
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Jamar is and I as as recently as a year ago,

289
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: I would argue Jamar I used to argue Jamar Chase

290
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: might be the best receiver in the whole league. I

291
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: think he's a brilliant player. They irritate me a little bit,

292
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: but I'm not rooting against them.

293
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

294
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 2: And Bill's fans again, I have nothing against Bill's fans.

295
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: A lot of the Bill's stuff is just it's really

296
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: media criticism more than anything else. It's it's about an

297
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: premature or anointing, and it's about the the double standards

298
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: of things. But I don't you know, I mean, well,

299
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: you know what. I take it back. I do root

300
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: against the Broncos. Is that team ruined my child old

301
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: and uh and I am not a John John Elways

302
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: want to, as far as sports goes, one of my

303
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: most disliked athletes and executives of my lifetime. So them

304
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: going through these struggles does bring me joy. But that's

305
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: just a Chiefs Broncos rivalry, nothing else really so much.

306
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Rogers.

307
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: All right? So, uh, Aaron Rodgers. Let's let's take a

308
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: listen to what he had to say about his unexcused absence.

309
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: Quick side.

310
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 5: You know, I'm an adult. I knew what I was

311
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: getting into, I knew the find that was coming, and

312
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: also knew how much I wanted to be to be

313
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: in Egypt. I wish there hadn't been a conflict scheduling wise,

314
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 5: but you know, it was what it was.

315
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Pyramids and Egypt aren't going anywhere obviously.

316
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers what he should have been a practice. How

317
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: soon do you think the Jets were regret getting into

318
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers business?

319
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: I mean midway through this year when they realized that

320
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: they they put everything about their franchise in this guy's

321
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: hands and football is just one of his interests. And

322
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: in general that can work and that can be okay,

323
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: but it can't work for quarterback savior when it's just

324
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: And I thought he handled that press conference fine. I

325
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: thought he was uncharacteristically honest and a given credit for that,

326
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: but it was telling when he was like, listen, I

327
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: had a choice to make, and I chose the other thing.

328
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: But my actual if I were a Jet fan, thank god,

329
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm not. Here is the thing that I would be

330
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: most unnerved by the T shirt he wore going into

331
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: training camp. Did you see it? Demanse? So he wore, Okay,

332
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: we've got it right there. It's an Egyptian cat. It's

333
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: a little it's it's it's it's just if you do

334
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 2: get the image Egyptian cat, that's what comes up. So

335
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: here's why, right, it's uh, it's it's just a little

336
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: reminder needle of who's in charge. And so it's just

337
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: it is an odd choice in my opinion. And I

338
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: know folks think I'm too hard on Aaron and I

339
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: don't even know if we spent time on this show

340
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: when he did the thing on pardon my take when

341
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: he was like, well there's you know, words or funny

342
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: things they mean different things, trying to change the definition

343
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: of mandatory, which was such an odd choice to make

344
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: when like mandatory just like words do mean certain things,

345
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: and mandatory means mandatory like obligatory. You've got And so

346
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: that part I didn't love. But it he is operating

347
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: as if he is still a superstar, and I don't

348
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: think he is. We'll see, but I think right now,

349
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: because people the big question I have or A big

350
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: question people ask me is what you know, what do

351
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: I dislike about the Jets? How do I not like

352
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: their roster? And I think they have an outstanding defensive roster,

353
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: and I think they have a decent offensive roster. And

354
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: if it were Madden and we turned all injuries off,

355
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: I would say their offensive roster is good, because it's not.

356
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: And you have to bake in injury history with guy.

357
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 2: That's why I call it a decent offensive roster because

358
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: when a few of your biggest acquisitions are historically consistently

359
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: injured players, take rogers out of it. I'm not gonna

360
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: give you seventeen games for those guys like Tyron Smith

361
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: and Mike Williams. But my biggest concerns with Number one

362
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: concern with the Jets is I think they have a

363
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: bottom five in the NFL coaching staff. I think that

364
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: is a fair reading of the situation. I think they

365
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: have a front office that we have no reason to

366
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: believe knows what it's doing, as evidence by the fact

367
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 2: that they traded for Hassan Reddick because and the reason

368
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: so bres Hall, Bryce Hall. I get these two players

369
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: once or well there's two, here's The problem. Breece is

370
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: the running back. Bryce is the pass rusher. The problem

371
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: is they both were on the Jets.

372
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 3: Like bree I think the.

373
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: Hold on and I'm gonna get this all wrong. Breece

374
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: is the running back, that's right. But the guy who

375
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: signed with the Eagles in the offseason for a bunch

376
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: of money, Bryce Hoff. That's it. So this is what's

377
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: so confusing. Sorry, Breece Hall. Breece Hall is the running

378
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 2: back for the Jets. Am I getting this right? Breece

379
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: Hall is the running back for the Jets. Bryce Hall

380
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: is a corner I think for the Bucks. Bryce Hoff

381
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: was a pass rusher for the Jets. It's confusing. I apologize,

382
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: But now that I have this name right, this story

383
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: will make more sense. I think both. Actually I think

384
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: there's actually a Bryce Hall in the NFL and a

385
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: media personality, neither of whom are relevant to this conversation. Oddly,

386
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: neither was Breece Hall. I was trying to say Bryce Hoff.

387
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 2: So the Jets had Bryce Hoff their pass rusher. The

388
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: Eagles signed him in free agency because Hassan Reddick, who

389
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: was there designate pass rusher, wanted a contract extension and

390
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: they didn't want to give it to him. The Jets

391
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: then traded for Hassan Reddick, and Hassan Reddick is now

392
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: holding out of Jets camp the way he was going

393
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: to hold out of Eagles camp because he doesn't have

394
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: a contract extension and the Jets are leaking to you know,

395
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: favorable local media. It was a misunderstanding. That's a poorly

396
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: run team. If you trade for a player and think

397
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: he's going to report without you giving him a contract extension,

398
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: and then he you don't give him a contract extension

399
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: and he doesn't report, that's a bad front office. I'm sorry,

400
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that's a bad for an office. That's

401
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: a bad That is the type of mistake a bad

402
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: front office would.

403
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

404
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: That's one of those things if you don't wanna when

405
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: I started a quick sidebar and then I'll get back

406
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 2: to the Jets. When I first started on the radio. Uh,

407
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: I remember one of my bosses telling me this, Gosh,

408
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: at this point fifteen years ago, don't criticize people, criticize actions.

409
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: I'm like, what do you mean. It's like, well, don't

410
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: don't say someone's dumb. Say doing X was dumb, That

411
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: was dumb, you know, what I and don't say, uh,

412
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: you know, try not to say this person is a liar,

413
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: say this was a lie. Like those are the kind

414
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: of distinguishing things. And the way that I because I

415
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: didn't really like I I that I've never liked being

416
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: told what to say, even and if you even and

417
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: if I wasn't going to say what you're telling me

418
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: not to say, it really bothers me that you either

419
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: think I don't know not to say that or you

420
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 2: think you can, you know, like basically not censor but

421
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: guide what I'm gonna say. And so the way that

422
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: I took that little coaching moment was if I thought,

423
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 2: what I would go with was this turn of phrase,

424
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: which was I'm not saying this person's dumb, but they

425
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: do a lot of things dumb people do. And so

426
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Jets front office is poorly run,

427
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: but there are a lot of decisions they make that

428
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: mirror exactly what a poorly run front office would would make.

429
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: So I think they have bad coaching staff. I'm questioned

430
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: about the front office. And then here's the other thing.

431
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: I do not think the Jets have above average quarterback play,

432
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: and that is what it's gonna come down to. And

433
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: that's not about Aaron being injured. It's about the fact

434
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: that two years ago, Aaron was dead average in the NFL.

435
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: Not by Aaron Rodgers standards, by NFL standards. His last

436
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: year with the Packers, he was a league average quarterback.

437
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Now he's two years older, off in Achilles with a

438
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: worst coaching staff. So I think they're going to have

439
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: a round the sixteenth seventeenth best quarterback play in the

440
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: league this year, plus a bad coaching staff, and all

441
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that's how a team that thinks they

442
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: can win the Super Bowl wins eight or nine games.

443
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: You think that he was ranked above Prince, the Prince

444
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: that was promised on the top NFL one hundred.

445
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean they were so close. It was ninety four

446
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: to ninety two. To me, that's essentially equivalent ranking. I

447
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: think that, Listen, the Prince has a lot to proved

448
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: this year. I think the Prince will have a better

449
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: year than Aaron.

450
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, he's a big year.

451
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: Is a big year for Trevor, There's no doubt about it. Listen,

452
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not gonna I in my opinion, Trevor Lawrence's

453
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: story is quite easy to understand. By year two in

454
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: the NFL, he was excellent, executed one of the greatest

455
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 2: playoff comebacks ever, took that momentum and then lost to

456
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, who everyone loses to in the playoffs. Then

457
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: took that momentum into the next season, was eight and three,

458
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: had his team on Monday Night Football, the Jacksonville Jaguars,

459
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: playing for the one seed midway through his third year

460
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: in the league, and then suffered three consecutive awful injuries

461
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: in the season. Philipart, that makes a ton of sense

462
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: to me. I know a lot of folks think, no, actually,

463
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: the guy just stinks. Just he just was. It was

464
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: make believe for three years at Clemson. I don't know

465
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: how people could that second year in the league and

466
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: the playoff comeback whatever. But yes, you're right, demansay he

467
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: has a lot to prove this year. All right, let's

468
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: move on.

469
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: So, yeah, after the show on Tuesday, you auditioned to

470
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: be a US Open ball boy. Uh didn't go your way.

471
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: It seems like you might have hobbled away even are

472
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: you gonna make any excuses for your performance? How do

473
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 3: you feel about it?

474
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: No, I thought I did great. I don't think I

475
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: got the job, and I didn't go into it one

476
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: hundred percent, but I did everything that was asked of me.

477
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: I clearly showed the intellectual capability of understanding because it's

478
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: different jobs. There's back, there's net. You have to understand.

479
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: You really have to know tennis because you have to

480
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: know waight. Was that a fault? Was that a point?

481
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: Where does the ball go? You gotta be on your feet,

482
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: and man, it's ninety minute shifts, the ninety minutes off

483
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean listen, first things first is going

484
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: to publish the video, and you're gonna see me gallantly

485
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: fighting through multiple injuries. I don't know why you're laughing

486
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: despite the injuries. I you know I did. I played

487
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: tennis for like an hour before that was probably a mistake.

488
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: I then went through a full hour training session, and

489
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: then after that there was the actual tryout. So by

490
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: the time we got to the tryout, my jet ski

491
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: back injury was really bad and I could tell I

492
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: was this close to monse to a torn left hamstring.

493
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: I could feel it, I could feel it going, but

494
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: I didn't want to quit. I particularly did not want

495
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: to quit when this happened. So there were thirty four

496
00:32:53,040 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: people auditioning this outworks fourteen hundred, tryout hundred, make it

497
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: one hundred, make it of the fourteen hundred and summer.

498
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: And so they have different tryouts throughout the day and

499
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: throughout the week, and it's once you're actually trying out

500
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: they pair. They don't pair. They do groups of six

501
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: because that's how many ball people there are, two you know,

502
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: behind each player and two at the net. Uh and,

503
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: so that gives you six. So in our group demanse

504
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: were a couple young ladies who it was their first time,

505
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: and then four guys in their twenties who, for all

506
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: of them it was their fifth consecutive year.

507
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: Uh oh.

508
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: And there were more than uh oh, demanse. Then there

509
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: were And obviously, I mean you've been to the US Open.

510
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of matches going on early in the week,

511
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: there's like thirty courts, and then eventually by the end

512
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: of it, you're down to the semifinals, the actual finals, whatever.

513
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: So the best of the best get you know, the

514
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: semi final, the final whatever. These two twin guys super

00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: the biggest match you've done? And one brother kind of

521
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: like sheepishly, is like, oh, I did a Novak last year,

522
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: like you did Novak Djokovic. He's like yeah. I'm like,

523
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: what position were you in? He's like, I was net

524
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: and that's the hardest, it's the most lined on the

525
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: side of the net exactly. I'm like, you did you

526
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: were net for a Djokovic match? And he's like yeah.

527
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: And I'm like which one? And he said the final,

528
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Like wait, you were the you were net ballperson for

529
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: the men's final last year. And he's like, trying to

00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: be you know, humble but honest, he's like yeah. I'm

531
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: like that's unbelievable. So then I ask his brother, his

532
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: twin brother. I'm like, what about you. He's like, I

533
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: was net for the men's final the year before. I'm like,

534
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: wait a minute, so you're the two best in the world.

535
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, you guys. They got to me competing against

536
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: literally the two best ball people in the world.

537
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 3: You have to try out though, in order to yeah, well.

538
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, of course, right exactly, you have to keep trying,

539
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: you have to earn your spot. Every year they had

540
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: to be there. But my point is it's I mean,

541
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: they exactly throw me into the kids into the pool.

542
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm out there against a city. I'm out there against

543
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: the Djokovic Alcoraz of ball's people, the two best in

544
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: the certain I shouldn't say the world, but here's the thing.

545
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: The Australian, the French and Wimbledon don't pay. They're volunteer positions.

546
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: The US Open pays. So it is not an exaggeration

547
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 2: to say these two brothers, who have done the men's

548
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: final in back to back years, are the two best

549
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: balls people in the world. And I gotta tell you,

550
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: I thought I held my own with them, I gotta

551
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: tell you, and I was despite the injury. And so

552
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: because of the injuries, I don't think I'm going to

553
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: be selected this year. However, now that I know the requirements,

554
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: now that I know uh the muscles, I need to

555
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 2: make sure I stretch out, and now that I know

556
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: when The tryouts are all make sure that I'm in good,

557
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: better physical condition for next year in my age forty season.

558
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 2: Much like Lebron, I will compete once again and I'll

559
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: make it next year. I'm telling you right now, I'll

560
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: be selected to be a US Open balls person next year.

561
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: I know the rules. My role is elite. I under

562
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: like how you roll the ball because you got to

563
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: like do a relay throw from one. But it's got

564
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 2: to be a role. I still have ninetieth percentile quickness

565
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 2: stop start ability. Uh, I just I mean, you're saying

566
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: I just don't know, don't You're eighth percentile athlete, and

567
00:37:54,719 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: so you you don't. I'm okay. Well again, the I mean,

568
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: I'll let the video speak for itself because I despite

569
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: the fact that I clearly have a couple slip discs

570
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: in my back, I'm I'm kind of crushing some of

571
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: these drills, and so I don't know why you're laughing

572
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: so hard. But but I'll be back. It was a

573
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: great experience and I'll be back, much like this show,

Speaker 2: explain that national champions National championship, the national championship. I

594
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: won the champion.

595
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 3: Oh, you were winning the league championships before.

596
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: I won some ACC titles and I got to the

597
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: the and I got to the college football playoff, but

598
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: I had never actually finished the deal. If you remember,

599
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: on our last episode of What's Right, I explained how

600
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: in the new College Football video game, I had made

601
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 2: a very risky decision, which is my junior quarterback who

602
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: had really helped build Syracuse into a perennial top twenty

603
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: five team, and I had convinced to stay at the school,

604
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: and we were winning nine games, winning the ACC title

605
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: even what made a college football playoff. Under his stewardship,

606
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: I benched him for a true freshman, and it didn't

607
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: go great that first year, but I believed in this

608
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: young man, Greg Marciano. And two years later, his junior season,

609
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 2: we lost our first game of the year in overtime

610
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: to Arkansas, twenty seven to twenty one. And all he

611
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 2: did was rip off sixteen consecutive victories, finished second in

612
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: the Heisman. And you might say finished second in the Heisman.

613
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: Who won it his teammate, our great wide receiver Brian Tompkins,

614
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: who had twenty four touchdowns, finished one two in the Heisman,

615
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: sixteen straight victories, won, UH won every award there was. Again,

616
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm not playing. I'm simulating, so I mean it's on Heisman,

617
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: but I'm not I'm just building the team, letting the

618
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: chips fall where they may. And now UH I got

619
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: to tell you now that the job has been done

620
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: for Syracuse University. Uh, We're open to other offers. The

621
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: you know, southern California seems awful, nice, and you know,

622
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: maybe a traditional power. I'd said that I would bring

623
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: a national championship to my alma mater. I've done it.

624
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: The cupboard is more than stacked for whomever takes over

625
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 2: after me, and I'm very excited about what's next to come.

626
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: But and I'm still yet to actually play the game.

627
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm yet to actually play a game. I but I

628
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: need you know now that I have won the national

629
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: championship and finished first second in the Heisman, won every

630
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: award there was. Essentially, I feel like at some point

631
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: I probably should play the game, but I'm not ready

632
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: to do that quite yet. But I just that's a

633
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: quick little college football n CAA twenty five yards.

634
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: I'm scared to figure out how good or bad you

635
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: are at the actual playing, because like you could be

636
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 3: playing games on the side of you doing like you're

637
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: your whole syracuseteynas well.

638
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I don't have the stats on it,

639
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna say I'm averaging. I don't know a

640
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: good few hours a day on this thing right now.

641
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: It takes it's tough so to all of a sudden

642
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: exhibition in exhibition games. It just seems it seems like

643
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 2: it would not be, you know, the best for my

644
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: personal or professional life. I think your sisters would respect

645
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 2: it more rather than seeing me just sitting there dming

646
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: fake high school students to try to come to my school.

647
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: Uh as part of the recruitment process. But you know,

648
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: such is life. This game's been out of my life

649
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 2: for eleven years, and I'm just so glad to have

650
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 2: it back. All right to Mom's let's play more to gain,

651
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 2: more to lose.

652
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: More to gain, more to lose? A Team USA basketball audition, Men's, Uh,

653
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: you called Lebron the best player on Team USA, which

654
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: means both the team's success and or a failure will

655
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: be accredited to him. Does Lebron have more to gain

656
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 3: and more to lose in the Olympics.

657
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: Oh, definitively more to lose. Like, here's the thing, if

658
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: they eat everyone who was making I shouldn't say everyone,

659
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 2: A lot of the people who were making the argument

660
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: before the Olympics that Lebron should not even be starting,

661
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 2: that he's not one of the five best guys. If

662
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: they don't win, will instantly blame him. That is a

663
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: guarantee that he gets demons. He gets blamed for the

664
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: four meltdown, despite the fact that when those Olympics took place,

665
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: he was nineteen years old, he had just finished his

666
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: rookie season. He was not even one of the significant

667
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: minute skinners anything. And people are still like, oh my god,

668
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: that O four team. He was nineteen on the Olympic

669
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: team and people hang that around his next So yeah,

670
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: but so definitely more to lose. Definitely more to lose.

671
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 3: But not more to gain with the fact that he's

672
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: thirty nine and can carry this team to the end.

673
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: Like the vision, I mean, I think that the folks

674
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: will again, this will There's a lot of stuff that

675
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: does not follow a logical tree. It just follows a

676
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: lebron derangement syndrome tree. Just see the bubble when people

677
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 2: thought that the Lakers weren't gonna win that title and

678
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: the Clippers were gonna win it, and that then nobody

679
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: was being like, well, this is not gonna be a

680
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: real title. At that time, people were talking about how

681
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 2: it would be one of the hardest titles. Ever about

682
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 2: how even if you earned home court, you don't get

683
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: home games. You're away from your family, that you have

684
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: to live in Disney World. You're in the middle of

685
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: a pandemic. But then the Lakers crushed everyone and people

686
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: now put out Mickey Mouse emojis. There's just a lot

687
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 2: of stuff that it's just Calvin ball with lebron Heads.

688
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: You lose tails, I win all right.

689
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: Next o, Embiid has yets proved he can win anything

690
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: and things are looking great for him so far during

691
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: the Exhibition Games? Does Embiid have more to gain and

692
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 3: more to lose at the Olympics?

693
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: More to lose? I mean, I'd like Embiid just consistent,

694
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: like and you don't like Embid. I do like Embiid,

695
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 2: but he he is not. There was a like even

696
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 2: little silly things, which is there's a fun little social

697
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: media video going out right now of guys. Have you

698
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: seen it?

699
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: Demon's eight Yes, it's like four of them, four or

700
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 3: five of them.

701
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 2: Well, there's a bunch of them. But this is about

702
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: who has the best nickname? Have you seen this one?

703
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 3: No? I haven't seen that one.

704
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's funny because you have like Derek White

705
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: really taking it seriously and where he's talking about He's like, well,

706
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: book doesn't count because that's just a shortening of it.

707
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: And then they were like, is BAM a nickname? And

708
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday's like, yeah, somebody asked me last year what

709
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: BAM's actual name was, and I said Beaumonte, even though

710
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 2: that's not his name, So now we call him that,

711
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: and then and and some people say King, and then

712
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 2: so's I forget who, but King James and Chef Curry

713
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: get the most votes from like other people. Somebody says

714
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: a slim reaper. Durant asked about it, and he's like,

715
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't used to like that nickname because

716
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 2: I didn't think I'd earned it, but now I love

717
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 2: that nickname. But everyone is throwing out possibilities for other people,

718
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: and then Embiid's in it. In the middle of it.

719
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: They're like, so, what's the best nickname? And Embiid votes

720
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: for himself. He's like the process, and I just like,

721
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: what are we doing? Like there's and so I and

722
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: again I like Joelle, but he hasn't played well. The

723
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 2: quotes we talked about last week I thought were not great.

724
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: Is sneaky a teammate. You think he's like I think

725
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 3: he might sneaky, be a bad teammate.

726
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 2: So some people think that. Man, I have not wanted

727
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: to think that, but he has some rough quotes, I'll

728
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: tell you that, and even recently where he was the

729
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: I don't know about.

730
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: It, I know him saying that his team would get

731
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 3: blown out if he rested for I just think that's

732
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 3: what you're throwing out your teammates. Like even if even

733
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 3: if that is the case, dude, like you're still playing

734
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 3: with some of these guys. What are you talking about?

735
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's a rough quote that that is true.

736
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on.

737
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: To Gianni's Janis has failed to stay healthy in the

738
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 3: playoffs since winning the title. Now he has the opportunity

739
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 3: to remind everyone he's the best player in the world

740
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 3: on the big stage. Does Giannis have more to gain

741
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 3: or more to lose at the Olympics?

742
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: Way more to game? This is easy. He's on a

743
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 2: total free roll. Nobody expects anything, agrees and if you know,

744
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: it's all I mean again, I'm not even take injury

745
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 2: out of it, Like that's the no, remove that factor.

746
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: He has nothing to lose and only stuff to gain.

747
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 2: If every game they win, it will be because he's awesome.

748
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: And if he can get him just into the knockout round,

749
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: that would be a hell of an accomplishment, all right.

750
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 3: Next, Jokic is coming off an embarrassing twenty point blown

751
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 3: lead in Game seven at home. The title of the

752
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 3: best title of the best player in the world is

753
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 3: detainably up for grabs. It's no better way to put

754
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: the debate to rest by pulling off the David versical

755
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 3: upset on the world stage. Does Jokic have more to

756
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: gain or more to lose at the Olympics?

757
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: The same with Jannis more to gain because nobody is

758
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 2: expecting Serbia to do anything, and it would just be

759
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: because Jokic carries him weird. I don't know, Daniel. I'm

760
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: sure you some weird KCP quotes about the Nuggets being

761
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: out of gas, about how they thought the Lakers should

762
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: have beaten them. Now KCP is obviously not on the

763
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: Nuggets anymore, so maybe you can speak more freely, but

764
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: I do the Yo Kic Yo Kic sneaky back up

765
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 2: against the wall out of nowhere. You lose, Bruce Brown,

766
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 2: you lose KCP. Yeah, you're up three to two in

767
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: round two after being down oh two, and you lose

768
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: that series. You blow a twenty point lead at home.

769
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 2: You're not the favorite anymore. And so anything Jokics does

770
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: in the Olympics is a bonus. Uh, but yeah, he

771
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 2: has way more to gain, all right.

772
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 3: Last, Draymond also said the Nuggets should have I mean,

773
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: the Lakers should have beaten the Nuggets during an interview.

774
00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah he did. Yeah, but go ahead, Draymond. Draymond,

775
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: you know, is very very heavily on team Lebron, and

776
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: so I think he's gonna bend in that favor.

777
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 3: Go ahead, your guy. Dylan Brooks may have another chance

778
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 3: to poke the bear if Canada faces the US. Does

779
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks have Does Dylan the villain have more to

780
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 3: gain and more to lose at the Olympics.

781
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: More to lose? And I'm gonna go ahead and call

782
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: my shot here. I think that when Canada loses in

783
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 2: the I think Canada is. I think Canada will make

784
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: it at least to the semifinals, maybe the finals, but

785
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 2: probably the semifinals. I mean, but they're gonna lose whenever

786
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 2: they play the US maybe before, but certainly and when

787
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: they lose the one of the critical buckets in that game.

788
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: Because can is good enough to play, anybody close will

789
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 2: be scored on Dylan Brooks and they play. If they

790
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: play the US, Lebron will torture him, and so it

791
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: is he has a switch. No, no, Dylan will be

792
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 2: trying to guard him. I mean that'll be his job

793
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: and Lebron will torch him. What do you mean you

794
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 2: seem confused by something?

795
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean if Dylan Brooks is the guy on

796
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 3: Canada that they want guarding Lebron, what.

797
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 2: Do you mean that's that's that's what he's there for.

798
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 2: I mean, the the is I mean, I think that's

799
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: what he's there for. The I mean, I guess lou Dort.

800
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 2: Lou Dort could be the other guy. But I mean

801
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks thought he could guard Lebron in the playoffs

802
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, ended up punching him in

803
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: the groin and being kicked out of the game. Uh.

804
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: Folks want predictions for group winners? Yeah, no problem, I

805
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 2: think that And how how how does it work? I

806
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: there's three groups? Right? Do eight teams advance? So I

807
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 2: apologize for not knowing this, but my eight teams advance,

808
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 2: so the three group winners and then the five other

809
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 2: and then the three second place teams and then two

810
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 2: wild cards. Essentially, I gets are there only three groups

811
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: or are there four groups? Guys? I should know this.

812
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: I apologize. Okay, So the US, Germany, and and Canada

813
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 2: will win their groups. So let's start here. US, Germany,

814
00:53:49,400 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 2: Canada will win their groups. Australia, France, Serbia will come

815
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: in second. And then who are gonna be the other

816
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 2: two teams? I'm gonna say Greece and Puerto Rico are

817
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 2: gonna be the seventh and eighth. So that's how I

818
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 2: think it's gonna go. Uh, that's my that's my not

819
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 2: that educated but slightly educated. Guests, we missed a huge

820
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 2: f one minute on Tuesday. We bring it to you next,

821
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 2: and I reply to listener questions and some really scurless

822
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 2: accusations by the producers. It's all next, What's right? Welcome

823
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: back in What's Right? With Nick Right? So uh, I

824
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 2: was supposed to play this on Tuesday, and I forgot

825
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 2: in getting all kind of wrapped up in the excitement

826
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: of the two hundred and fiftieth show, but there was

827
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 2: evidently a very intriguing and controversial weekend on the F

828
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:10,959
Speaker 2: one circuit. So we'll go right to our F one

829
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 2: senior reporter, Sierra Fiddel with this week's F one minute.

830
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: Some hot news. Oscar Priasci has won the Hungarian Grand Prix,

831
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 4: which means we have seven new race winners out of

832
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 4: thirteen Grand Prix so far this season. It just keeps

833
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 4: getting better. But there was also a collision between Maxis

834
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 4: Tappa and Louis Hamilton, and this victory may not be

835
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 4: as good as it seems, may not be as joyous

836
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 4: as it should be. Let's get into it. Like I've

837
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 4: just mentioned, Oscar Piastre has won the Hungarian Grand Prix.

838
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 4: It was his first Formula One win and it should

839
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 4: have been a joyous moment for him to celebrate with

840
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 4: his team, with his family, but instead it has this

841
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 4: kind of dark backstory lore to it that's really awkward, honestly,

842
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 4: and puts both drivers in a real situation. So let's explain.

843
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 4: So it was a front row lookout for McClaren this weekend.

844
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 4: Lando Norris tried from pole position and Oscar was right

845
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 4: behind him in second place, but per usual, Landa was

846
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 4: not able to keep this position literally after the first lap,

847
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 4: so his teammate eventually emerged ahead of him and then

848
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 4: was in front for a good chunk of the race

849
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 4: until McClaren pulled off this weird pit stop strategy which

850
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 4: allowed Lando Norris to pit first and then Oscar Piastre.

851
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 4: So now first and second are swapped. Lando comes out

852
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 4: of the pits first and first, and then Oscar behind him,

853
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 4: and this was McLaren's own doing. But we're gonna fast

854
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 4: forward a lot of laps all the way towards the end,

855
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 4: and they're in Lando's ear, his team talking about swapping,

856
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 4: and it didn't go very well.

857
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 2: For a little bit.

858
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 4: It seemed like Landa was not gonna give it up.

859
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 5: Let me tell you.

860
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 4: He was driving and he was widening their gap even

861
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 4: more while the team was in his ear saying, hey, hey,

862
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 4: let Oscar through, Like another seconds go by, Hey think

863
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 4: about the team like kind of blackmailing. But you didn't

864
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 4: hear that from me, But I mind you, this is

865
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 4: a guy who's fighting for the driver's championship right now.

866
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 4: He's behind by a lot, but every point counts for

867
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 4: this man, and it's very it's not a game. But

868
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 4: eventually he did. And this this meant that Oscar won

869
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 4: the race. And I think Oscar Priacture himself was not

870
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 4: too happy about how he won this race, because you

871
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 4: can hear on his team radio he's like, yep, thanks team,

872
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 4: good work, thanks, thanks, thanks for the good work team.

873
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 4: And I think he acknowledges that this was a team

874
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 4: effort to really push him forward. This was not like

875
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 4: some epic victory where he had a crazy overtake and

876
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 4: won the race. He won because Landa led him through.

877
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 4: But enough about McLaren. It was Lewis Hamilton's two hundredth

878
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 4: podium this weekend. He got third place. However, he had

879
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 4: to fight to get there because Max found himself behind

880
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 4: Louis for a good chunk of the race and he

881
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 4: was really struggling to get past him. In a heated moment,

882
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 4: he folded under the pressure, under the impatience. He folded,

883
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 4: and he tried to launch his car basically to the

884
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 4: moon and tried to pull off this move that did

885
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 4: not work. It didn't work, and it resulted in a collision.

886
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 4: Nobody was heard, of course, So that's all I have

887
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 4: time for. I can't explain the different sides and stories

888
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 4: for this whole debate about McLaren, but either way, it

889
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 4: was a really good weekend for them. They pulled in

890
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 4: fourty three points for the Constructors Championship, so I know

891
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 4: I mentioned on Thursday they were really close to Ferrari

892
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: and they've actually beat them. Now that's which may look minute,

893
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 4: but we're talking millions, so I know they're celebrating that

894
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 4: they have something to celebrate at least, not so much

895
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 4: Macres happened. So it is a race week. So I'll

896
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 4: see you on Thursday to talk about the Belgium Garan Prix.

897
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 4: But until then that's been your f one minute and

898
00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 4: I'll see later.

899
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 2: And we'll get a recap of that Belgium Graham pri On. Well,

900
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 2: I guess we'll actually get it on Thursday. One programming note,

901
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 2: we don't have a show Tuesday. We'll get a recap

902
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: of the Belgium Graham Prix from Sierra on Thursday. Tuesday

903
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: is the funeral for the friend of ours that passed

904
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 2: that we talked about last week. What I was gonna

905
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: say there was the thank you, Yes it is. I

906
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: think we picked a good year to start caring about

907
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: f one because the last few years has just been

908
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 2: max Verstapping taking any Injurgue away from the whole circuit.

909
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: And it doesn't seem like it's that this year, and

910
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: Sierra's doing a great job keeping us apprized of it.

911
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 2: All right, Demanse, let's go to some listener questions.

912
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 3: Producers say, you said you were very close to a

913
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 3: hamstring tear before your tryout, but you also said that

914
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: you faked AMSTRM injury when you knew you were going

915
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: to lose a track relay. This raises credibility concerns. Just

916
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 3: saying listeny.

917
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 2: That that has haunted me for twenty two years. I mean,

918
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 2: it's true. I had to confess to my teammates about

919
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: it years later. One of them, you know, one of

920
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 2: them was the officiant at my wedding. One of them

921
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 2: was stood up at my wedding. I don't feel great

922
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 2: about what I did in that state final, But what recredit?

923
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: Do you not know this story? You don't know this.

924
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 3: No, I don't know this.

925
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 2: I shouldn't retell it.

926
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, man, if you want to, if

927
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 3: you feel it's too crazy.

928
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 2: I was on the four by eight hundred relay team

929
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 2: in high school, running third, I think the third leg.

930
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 3: And oh no, I know how you go go ahead, sir?

931
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no. And I thought I thought I was losing

932
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: the race for US because I kept getting passed and

933
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 2: I thought I was running a great time. But I

934
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: got passed by three people, so I thought I was

935
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 2: running a bad time. And so for the last like

936
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 2: quarter lap, I ran while holding my hamstring, so I

937
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 2: had a preemptive excuse for my bad time. But then

938
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: it turns out I ran a good time and I

939
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 2: just was getting passed by faster people. But I but

940
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 2: in my history onics I you know, I cost us

941
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: some spots on the podium, and I still feel badly

942
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 2: about it. That is not the circumstance of the US

943
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Open tryout for the record well, And so the producers

944
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 2: love bringing that up at every chance they get. I

945
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 2: don't you know, I'd love to find out what their

946
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 2: biggest moment of shame in their life is so I

947
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 2: can constantly remind them of it. But you know, I guess,

948
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: you know, I guess I don't. I'm not going to

949
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 2: do that. Uh, all right, what's the what's the next question? Demonse?

950
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: The producers also Uh uh yeah, producers also found you

951
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 3: and qs winning the title. We're gonna show a little.

952
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: Oh we have a we have a picture of it.

953
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh there's my guy. That's right, you're damn straight.

954
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 2: That is uh. Coach Nick Wright made the right choice

955
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: on Marchiano. That's right, it is. I mean, that is

956
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 2: exactly what happened. Go ahead and send me that picture.

957
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 2: That is a great that's the best photoshop we've ever done. Uh, demonse,

958
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to Curtis Matthews.

959
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 3: Curtis Matthews asked, with new kickoff return rules in the

960
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 3: NFL this year, which team do you think will be

961
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 3: the most dangerous on the kick returns?

962
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 2: So I listen, there's that it is going to be

963
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 2: less about personnel and more about special teams coaching. That

964
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 2: is going and there are going to be some teams

965
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I am mad that just wave the white flag on

966
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: covering these kicks and just give the other team the

967
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: ball in the thirty just boot it out of the

968
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 2: end zone because they don't want to spend time on

969
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 2: it and they don't want to figure it out the well,

970
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 2: I mean again, five yards does matter. Uh, and more so,

971
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 2: it's that if you cover it, well, maybe it's not

972
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 2: five yards, maybe it's ten, Maybe you get them at

973
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 2: the twenty. But that's gonna be one of the most

974
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 2: exciting and fun things to watch, particularly about preseason, because

975
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 2: there are going to be people that are NFL fans

976
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 2: but aren't watching shows like this, aren't locked into everything that.

977
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea this rule was changed, and they

978
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 2: are gonna be totally confused, all right. Noah Rodriguez says

979
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 2: he missed Tuesday show. Can't believe nobody said their favorite

980
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 2: mom whenever was Nick's Joey Chestnut rant. That was a classic.

981
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I can't find it anywhere online. I think it's on Twitter.

982
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 2: I think if you just like Google or you know Twitter,

983
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 2: get Nick right show. Uh yeah, something like that, you'll

984
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 2: find it. All right? What ad team Mark Apulo say?

985
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Uh? He said, Nick? What would it mean for Jokic's

986
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 3: legacy if he were to upset Team USA and win

987
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: the gold.

988
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 2: That'd be unbelievable. I don't really I don't have a

989
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 2: precedent for what it would mean for legacy stuff because

990
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 2: there's we've never had that. We've never had a great

991
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: like all time legendary international player, then go to the

992
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: Olympics and win the gold and so I don't it's

993
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: not like, well, this is what it meant for Dirk

994
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: when he did it, like they so I don't have Yeah,

995
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 2: I mean it'd be it'd be on correct, so it

996
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 2: would certainly help, that's for sure. All right, let's go

997
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 2: to Mark.

998
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 3: Mark's Mark Pascal. A question for Nick. How excited are

999
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 3: you to see nadall on Alcaz Teamyo for the Olympics.

1000
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Love the show from Barcelona?

1001
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'll be in Barcelona briefly, very briefly

1002
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 2: in August. Excited for that. I've been there once before.

1003
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 2: One of my three favorite cities in the world. I'm

1004
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 2: super excited to see see that. I don't really lock

1005
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: in so much except for basketball. The Olympic sports I'm

1006
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 2: most interested in are the sports you only see in

1007
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: the Olympics, so like soccer and tennis and golf. I'm

1008
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: not that interested in come the Olympics because you can

1009
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: see him elsewhere. But Alcarez and Nadal teaming up is

1010
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: amazing And oh yeah, well, first of all, yeah, it's

1011
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 2: winter Olympics, not summer obviously, but yeah, that would be

1012
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 2: one that I right, exactly the game. The sports that

1013
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 2: are like hockey, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, you can watch

1014
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 2: all you know, anytime during the year, so I'm not

1015
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: typically as interested in them in the Olympics as the

1016
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: ones that you can only watch are in the Olympics.

1017
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Basketball is the one exception where I really do care

1018
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 2: about Team USA. Justin Jones says, demons looking sharp in

1019
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,439
Speaker 2: that shirt, and Mike c h compliments my style, which

1020
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 2: is just a testament to my wife. All right, great show,
