Yeah, I don't know. We'll get to that. 18 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: We got a lot of interesting stuff. Mark Dominic's gonna 19 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: join us. We'll get you ready. As we got OTAs 20 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: getting underway. This another strange tale on the long and 21 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: winding path of Zion Williamson. We'll get to that next hour, 22 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: but I want to start with this. We talked about 23 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: it some yesterday, but it does relate to all sports. 24 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: And you know, there's been a push in the NBA 25 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: for I don't know, seven eight years. You know what 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: we should do is have fewer games, don't have back 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: to backs, too much travel, quality of the product's not great. 28 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: We should have fewer games. Aor League Baseball used to 29 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: have one fifty four they have won sixty two. There 30 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: was there's been years which there's been talking of. You 31 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: know what we need to do is have We've had 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the contraction fewer teams and we've had the fewer games thing. 33 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: And if you'll notice the NFL, which is the healthiest, 34 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: they're fighting on more games, but they end up always 35 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: getting them right. There was a long fight over Game seventeen, 36 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: but they got it, and now there is a fight 37 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: over Game eighteen, but they're going to get it because 38 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: the NFL makes money every time they play a football game, 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: and everybody likes to make money. And there's a lot 40 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: of reasons why NBA games, why Major League baseball games 41 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: won't be contracted. But for the most part, there's just 42 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: one reason. That reason is money. And I do think 43 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: that there are people who don't understand, even people in power, 44 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: who don't understand exactly what is valuable about your sport. 45 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: The brilliance of the NFL is not just increasing regular 46 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: season games. They've increased playoff games. Those are the most watched, 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: those are the most important, and those are the ones 48 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: which you can print money by just simply putting out there, 49 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: which they have right. They want to negotiate ESPN a 50 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: new deal. Wanto ESPN to keep paying through the nose 51 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: from undernet football. Hey, we'll throw in a wild card 52 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: football game. It's a game that you never had, we 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: never had before. You know you're going to get twenty 54 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: five million people or so watching. Again, the value is remarkable. 55 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: So I bring this to the NCAA tournament in college basketball, 56 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: where everyone says, you know, it's perfect. Why expand Then 57 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: there's a story out today where some people, some executive 58 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: some TV executives think there's not much value in it. 59 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: That you're talking about early first round games, not much 60 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: more value. Yeah, it doesn't doesn't do much. Won't be 61 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: much more money made by the NCAA. So here's the response. 62 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: The first thing is, I need you to listen to me, really, 63 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: really carefully. I told you long time ago that Lebron 64 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: James wasn't leaving LA. I told you a matter of 65 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: fact before he signed in LA that of any of 66 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: the teams that he was considering, he will never play 67 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: in San Antonio because San Antonio back when Greg Popfitch 68 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: was the coach, and they'll still have this mantra. It 69 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 1: was get over yourself. Lebron James is a great player, 70 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: one of the all time greatest players, not just in 71 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: his sport, in any sport to play. But there's one 72 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: thing that he's not. It's over himself. I told you 73 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: it would not happen. It's not even part of the consideration. 74 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Just like I told you this year. I don't care 75 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: what Rich Paul says. He wasn't considering doing anything other 76 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: than come back for the Lakers. The only issue now 77 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: is how is Lebron James going to hang around for 78 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: Bronnie's rookie year? Make them draft Bronnie, not make him 79 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: draft Brice. All right, but let's let's not get a 80 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: year out for me predicting and telling you that he's 81 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: going to stay. His last year with the Lakers is 82 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: going to be next year when they draft Bryce James. 83 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: They don't have both his sons with him on the 84 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: floor at the same time. And as ridiculous as it is, 85 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to put on a ninety five 86 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: percent chance of it happening, right, guy wants to be 87 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: the perfect father. Can't be the perfect father if you 88 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: play favorites and only hang around for Bronnie when you 89 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: clearly can hang out for Bryce's that's not playing favorites anyway. 90 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: I told you lebron wasn't retiring. I told you wasn't 91 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: going to San Antonio. I told you wasn't going anywhere else. 92 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: I'm telling you now. Major League Baseball and in the 93 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: NBA are not contracting games because all those sites, all 94 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: those arenas, they have a certain number of dates which 95 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: are part of the least agreement. Everybody makes money on it, 96 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: and unless athletes and coaches and front office is going 97 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: to take less money from less profit, they're not going 98 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: to ever contract the games ever. And my guess is 99 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: with the NCAAA they will only do this if it 100 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: opens up their TV window for negotiating you because people 101 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: are right, like, there is some value to it, But 102 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: if those are first four games, what's really the value. 103 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: The value in the NCAA Tournament is the sixty four 104 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: team bracket. That's what everybody bets on. It's everybody gambles on, 105 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: everybody turns in. That's where your grandma has just as 106 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: good a shot as you do of winning a set 107 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: of state knives. And if you expand to seventy two 108 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: seventy six, you can still be cute and make those 109 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: play in games. But if you make those playing games, 110 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: you're still only going to get a couple of million viewers. 111 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: And you're talking about expanding from sixty eight to seventy two, 112 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: two more basketball games. That's it, two more basketball games 113 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: to seventy six. Its formre basketball games. So does that 114 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: value sure? Is it untold millions of dollars? Yeah? So 115 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: the prediction is is this Ryan Bersching or is this 116 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Sam is this Isaac lowincron one? There is zero chance 117 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to expand. Zero And you're like, why 118 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: would they expand? Why would they try? Because they can 119 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: make more money and right now, no matter what you think, 120 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: everybody needs more money because now you got to pay 121 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: the players, and all the calculations are screwed up because 122 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: previously you plan for it. Hey, the men's basketball takes this, 123 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: football takes this. Everybody else gets this. Coaches get this. 124 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: This is what we do for Scott, this is what 125 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: we do now all a sudden, you're talking from you know, 126 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand at our level to ten to 127 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: twenty million at the highest level. That money comes from. 128 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: It all comes from one pot, basically, and the only 129 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: way to increase that pot is to find valuable assets. 130 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: And the only valuable asset the NCAA has in basketball 131 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: is the tournament. The problem is, unless it triggers a 132 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: completely new round of negotiations for their TV rights, it 133 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: just doesn't have that much value. And if they do 134 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: it despite the fact it doesn't have that much value, 135 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: and they only increase it by I don't know ten 136 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: they're making a billion a year, what's a billion dollar 137 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: deal whatever, unless it increases at a huge rate because 138 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: they can open it up to open bidders, doesn't have 139 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot of value. It just does not. And if 140 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: that's the case, then you know that there is desperation 141 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: in the streets to get any possible last dollar. That's 142 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: when you're basically going to a pawnshop and just hey, 143 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: just give me what you can. I'll take whatever you 144 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: can give me. I just need some money here. So 145 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: either TV becomes a pawnshop for college basketball and college 146 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: sports because it's all kind of wrapped together, not the 147 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: not college football, or what I think is more likely, 148 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: is there some sort of sort of clause where they 149 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: can reopen negotiations if they get to more games, and 150 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: that's the only way they get the negotiations either way. 151 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: I get it. I love the sixty fourteen bracket. I'm 152 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: all for it. But I also understand that everything costs 153 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: more money, and the only way to make more money 154 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: is to sell the most valuable thing you have, and 155 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: that's the NCAA Tournament. All Right, We got a bunch 156 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: to get to today here on The Doug Gottlieb Show 157 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio.

The game is 171 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: brought to you by the Knicks Radio network. 172 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: Right wig three Broughts it off the triple he cut 173 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: it in one four point play opportunity for Brunston at 174 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 2: the next half at eighty one's sixty four league. 175 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: Uh so there's I mean, look, Brunson was great, Carl 176 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns was great, and the Knicks controlled the game, 177 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: and then you got Tyrese Haliburton who played thirty two 178 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: minutes and only scored eight points and just very pedestrian stats. 179 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: And look, it will all be forgotten if he has 180 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: another spectacular performance in Game six when they close out 181 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: the Knicks. But this is the if you ever wondered 182 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: why people don't consider Tyrese Haliburton among the best of 183 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: the best of the best in terms of point guards 184 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: in the league. There's your answer, because there are just 185 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: some games in which he's just a guy out there. 186 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: And look again, I could even say to myself, dude, 187 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: that's a lot a burden to always but that's the 188 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: that's the gig, right, that's the gig. So you may 189 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: not like it. You may think it's unfair, you may 190 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: think it's over the judgmental of one game here or 191 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: one game there. Again, I think you're probably right. Unfortunately, 192 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: that's how big boy sports are played. In a game 193 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: of that magnitude, albeit on the road, you just can't 194 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: have a he's just out there now, maybe they're saving 195 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: their energy, maybe they're laying in wait, they're waiting to 196 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: run the knicks off the floor in game six possibility. 197 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: And again, I'm about making the right play, not just 198 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: trying to force things. But he was a little passive. 199 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: He did just kind of play. They kind of went 200 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: through the motions and they get their asses beat. I 201 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: do have a step on Diggs opinion. I want to 202 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: get to Mark Domini's going to join us we got 203 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: game time upcoming as well.

So I've got a lot of thinking on 211 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: the Stefan Diggs thing. And I know he signed a 212 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: three year deal. I know he's coming off knee injury. 213 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: I know he's really talented, although he's more towards the 214 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: end not towards the beginning of his career. So I'm 215 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: not saying his career is over, but I I'm telling 216 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: you right now, I would cut him. I don't think it. 217 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's a question. And you may 218 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: say to yourself, hey, Doug, he wasn't taking those drugs 219 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: on the video. The drugs that are in was it 220 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: two sy that's called the pink cocaine aren't necessarily cocaine. 221 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: Ketamine can be that's puny illegal. It's not even the point. Okay, 222 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: it's not even the point. The point is that he 223 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: knew he was being filmed, whether he knew he was 224 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: going to be sent out to the world or not, 225 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: and he quite obviously didn't care. The one thing he 226 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: did care about is why he gave the women the 227 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: drugs that they could take. He didn't even have to 228 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: take it himself. I don't care. You're Mike Vrabel, and 229 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: though Vrabel is a player's coach, that doesn't mean you're 230 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: a pushover. And I get you know, professional sports, there's 231 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: lots that we don't know. We don't know how many 232 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: guys take recreational drugs. We don't I think perception is 233 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: worse than reality. Although maybe I'm wrong, you know, maybe 234 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm too much for prude. I truly do not know. 235 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: But it looks awful, awful awful to have and brasionally 236 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: hand out some drugs while being filmed and not even 237 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: going like, hey, don't fill that, or wait till the 238 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: camera's not rolling, and then you do it again doesn't 239 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: make it right. It's just every layer of it. And 240 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: then when you factor in. Okay, Steffan Diggs leaves the bills, 241 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: they get better. Steffan Diggs is added to Houston, they 242 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: get worse. Not all his fault because he got hurt. 243 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: I got it. But if there's one thing I've learned, 244 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: and I already knew, but I've learned, is chemistry is everything. 245 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: And you could sit there and go like, hey, that 246 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: looks like a little chemical kit, right, That's exactly what 247 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: pink cocaine is. It's a chemical creation where you put 248 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: a little this and a little that in. That's funny, 249 00:15:53,960 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: It's really funny. I just I'd cut him. I wouldn't 250 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: really think twice about it. 251 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: Yes, Sam, I'll go back to this. I feel like 252 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 3: if Bill Belichick was still the coach he would have been, 253 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: he would have been gone after this. It's just a distraction. 254 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: And I don't know what this does if they do 255 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 3: get rid of Stefan Diggs. I mean he's thirty one. 256 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 3: What this would do to New England's depth at wide receiver. 257 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: I can't even think off the top of my head. 258 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: Who there are other options? Are? Like their tight end 259 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: didn't uh is is it Hunter Henry? Yah? 260 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? 261 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: So like they have a good tight end. But I 262 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: can't I think that they're going to keep him because 263 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: they don't have anybody else to throw the ball to. 264 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: Again, I've been there before. And as much as you say, like, hey, 265 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: how can we do that, you can't do anything if 266 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: you allow that to be part of your program. I 267 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: don't know if Bill Belichick would have I know we 268 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: all have an impression of Bill Belichick as his hardcore disciplinarian. 269 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he did have Aaron Hernandez on his team, 270 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, like they only got rid of aeron Is 271 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: because they had to. And it appears that Internet was 272 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: doing a lot of stuff. And that's where we don't 273 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: know the inner workings of teams and what really happens 274 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: and what guys are really doing and they really get caught. 275 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: And that that's why I'm not being a mortalist about it. 276 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you do drugs, you're off the team. 277 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: I'd like it to be that way, but I don't 278 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: know enough. Neither do any of us. But but you're 279 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: being filmed girlfriends downstairs, sleeping it off. You had three 280 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: girls you're clearly hitting on. You break out some some 281 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: pink cocaine and you brazenally make you know, don't hide 282 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: it from any camera, and you're having just a great time. 283 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 3: I just buy it's not even so much drugs starting. 284 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 3: It's the filming thing. It's it's the it's the creating 285 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 3: of a distraction, you know, right. 286 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: It's it's both. It's the it's the womanizing, the the drugs, 287 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: but also wrap in with the camera and allowing it 288 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: out to the world. I just I could be dead 289 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: wrong And yeah, yeah, if he was, you know, twenty 290 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: six year old Stefan Diggs, would you would it be different? 291 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: I'd hope it wouldn't, but the reality is it would. 292 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: He's thirty one, and it's just a terrible look for 293 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: a guy coming off of an injury injured year and 294 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: coming off of getting shipped away by you know, he's 295 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: been shipped away by three teams.

Yes, yes, 325 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna draft Timothy Schallomey. 326 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: You're drafting him. 327 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 2: I got DIBs on Timothy, or callame, because dude, I 328 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 2: really know nothing about him as an actor, and I 329 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: first had a bad impression of him as a Johnny 330 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: Come Lately. But he is a legitimate old school Knicks fan, 331 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: so I know nothing about his thespian capabilities. Yeah, like 332 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 2: back as a kid. He there's a picture of him 333 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 2: like with a couple of Knicks, like twelve years ago 334 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: when he was like twelve or whatever. So I do 335 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: have grudging respect for Timothy Shallowy as not a bandwagon 336 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: Knicks fan. 337 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: Tim tell May I learned yesterday day before.

He's gonna be popping up a 346 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 3: game day and you know, a big noon kickoff, and 347 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: he's gonna be one of those guys that loves to 348 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 3: show up at sporting events and be seen and talk 349 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: about sports. So he's cool. He's a cool dude. 350 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: Because one of these things that I find really annoying 351 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: is a team makes the conference finals or the finals 352 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: in its respective sport, and a bunch of celebrities just 353 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: show up to be seen and get their picture taken, 354 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: and they squeeze out the true sports fans. But by 355 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: the way, you guys know that the likes of Spike 356 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: Lee and Chris Rock are still out there for you 357 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 2: guys to have DIBs on.

All my thinking is, obviously Spike 363 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: Lee is synonymous as celebrity Knicks fan, but I do 364 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: think I'm just kind of tired of the Spike Lee thing. 365 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: That's it. So I'm gonna go Tracy Morgans. We're gonna 366 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: really die at a Knicks game. 367 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, he has paid a documented price to 368 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: be a Knicks fan. 369 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: He had an accident on the court, but also he 370 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 3: was involved. Yeah, well he actually did almost really die. 371 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: I think he his like tour bus was hit by 372 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 3: like a Walmart semi or something and bad car accident. 373 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: I loved him on SNL.

But you mentioned that Major League 458 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: Baseball used to be a one hundred and fifty four 459 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: game schedule. What would your ideal length be for a 460 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball regular season schedule? What do you guys 461 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: got DIBs on? And I'm going to start by saying 462 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty games like they do in Japan, 463 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: So one thirty for me. How about the rest of y'all? 464 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: Uh, problem one thirty is you're just you're hungry surely 465 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: thereafter for games that's Chinese food, I know. But I 466 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: would say, uh, hundred sixty two games. 467 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: Okay, fair, fair enough, that's certainly a keeping the status quo. 468 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 2: You guys, I would say it's probably between one thirty 469 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: with the two of. 470 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 6: You, I'll take sixty. Because the Dodgers are undefeated in 471 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 6: the World Series, in terms. 472 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: Of sixty game seasons. So let's keep that rolling. 473 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: You want a two month regular season starting August first, 474 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: and then at the end of September, sixty game season. 475 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 3: We can have three seasons a year. 476 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: We can do it at the all time home run 477 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: record twenty three. 478 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 3: Alright, Sam, I'll just go on the I'll go on 479 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 3: the opposite end of that. I'll just say two hundred 480 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 3: and fifty games a year round baseball. No rest such 481 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: as perpetual motion of baseball. So there's making money hand 482 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: over fist. 483 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: And there is an assembly line of pictures in the 484 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: waiting room of well, not doctor jobs clinic, but. 485 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: For off the IL, for backplaying.

I've been to London 493 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 3: a couple of times. I've not been inside that stadium. 494 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 3: But it's cool. That live Queen concert from the eighties 495 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 3: was badass. 496 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: So I got damns on the US Open. 497 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: Ah, you beat me to it. So I'm gonna say, 498 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 2: French Open. 499 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: Australia is all nine. 500 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 2: All right, looks like it's been a good day for you. 501 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 3: Brush. 502 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: Whow Why the French Open there? 503 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: Doug? All right? 504 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: Sorry? 505 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: Why the US opened their. 506 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: Doug Because it's the best America. No hard courts, hardcourts, 507 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: great fans, you know, it's it's I mean, playing surface wise, 508 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: it's not. It's it's the most used, most well regarded, 509 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: right whereas playing in the clay, which is like playing 510 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: in the dirt, is a completely different style. Same thing 511 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: with Wimbledon, but more than anything, just the fans of 512 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: New York, the energy there. It's a tournament unlike anything 513 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: else in the sport or in most professional sports. 514 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: And that's game, set and match. See what I did 515 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 2: there for this edition of igotdibs. 516 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 5: Game This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show. 517 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: Yes, the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio coming 518 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: up next.

I mean, look, I know 530 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: baseball's going to go going on, but it's not like 531 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: it's it's reached any sort of crescendo or any sort 532 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: of of time of interest. I actually think the NFL 533 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: and these OTAs might be the most interesting because we're 534 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: starting to kind of sort of get a sense of 535 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: who's who, what's what. Still got a couple of guys 536 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: holding in, holding out doing their thing. Mark Dominic joins us, 537 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: former gentleman manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Uh, he's 538 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: worked his entire life in professional football. Mark let me 539 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: let me, ask you, Stefan Diggs. I just said, look, 540 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: I'd get rid of them. I would You know you 541 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: haven't played it down for the Patriots. There is an 542 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: image issue there, but it's not as look, the drugs 543 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: obviously bother me, but it's more like he's being filmed, 544 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: he knows he's being filmed, and he brazenly rips that, 545 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: whips out some drugs and hands it to a woman like. 546 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think it sets a terrible 547 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: look for an organization that's trying to get back on 548 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: the right path. I know he's been a really a 549 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: very good player for a good amount of time, but 550 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: there's always been some sort of unspoken chemistry issues which 551 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: keeps him moving from team to team to team. What 552 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: would you do if you're a gentleman manager of the Patriots. 553 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 7: I think you make a very strong point in terms 554 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 7: of there's a reason why he's been moving from team 555 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 7: to team to team. I mean that, I think is 556 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 7: an underlying thing you have to look at. The first 557 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 7: thing you have to think about is when you have 558 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 7: an elite receiver in Minnesota's like, you. 559 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 4: Know what, We're okay, Buffalo Like, yeah, you know, it's 560 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: not a fit. 561 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 7: Houston's like, you can have him, so you know in 562 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 7: this situation, you know, the hard part is you gave 563 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 7: him twelve million dollars a sign on a three year deal. 564 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 4: Can you walk out of this? Yes? Could want. 565 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 7: Of all teams, they can, because it's the Patriots that 566 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 7: have the space. 567 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 5: You know. 568 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 7: I think this is one of those ones where I 569 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 7: have to have a conversation with them first understand what's 570 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 7: going on. But I don't disagree to Doug as much 571 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 7: as that's hard to do. And you're trying to build 572 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 7: this team. You got to build it the right way, 573 00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 7: and he's not helping you do that right now. 574 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: So would you get rid of him? 575 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? 576 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 7: I have no problems doing that, you know. And then 577 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 7: the reason I say that in a terrible way, I 578 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 7: love Damaro Douglas. I think he's going to be really 579 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 7: good player. I'm not sure where Kyle Wiams is going 580 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 7: to be. Matt Collins, Hollins is a good receiver. Their 581 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 7: hard part that they've got is that they're just trying 582 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 7: to figure out how good is Drake May and they 583 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 7: want to try to give him all the weapons. You 584 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 7: just they couldn't do it in one offseason. That's how 585 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 7: depleted they were. I'm comfortable letting him walk because I 586 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 7: don't want to. I don't want to upset the apple 587 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 7: cart of this football team and make sure that we're 588 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 7: all the same. 589 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 4: So I'm with you. I would. 590 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 7: You know, it's a bad look and it was a 591 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 7: bad video. And it wasn't just one videos, multiple videos. 592 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 7: You're like, what's going on here? Like to have some 593 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 7: You're supposed to be a leader. 594 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thirty one years old. I was supposed to 595 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: be a vet and this is how you announced your 596 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: presence on a new football team. Okay, the Aaron Rodgers 597 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: and picture. We keep waiting and waiting and waiting. But 598 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: before I get like super critical of he should be there, 599 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,959 Speaker 1: he should you know whatever. The Steelers have to know, right, 600 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: It's not like they're sitting there they don't know what 601 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: his plan is, correct. 602 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 4: I agree. 603 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 7: I think they have to know, and I think they 604 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 7: do know. There's no way that at this point they're 605 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 7: just like, well, we'll just wait and see a little 606 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 7: bit longer and if he comes around, he does. 607 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 5: No. 608 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 7: I think Mike Tomlin knows. I think the organization knows 609 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 7: what it is, and you know, you can go one 610 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 7: way to the other. You're just not going to say anything, 611 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 7: and they're just going to let Aaron handle it however 612 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 7: he wants to. And again, Aaron might be on a 613 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 7: hiking tour through the Himalayans right now and just has 614 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 7: to get done with it. I have no idea, but 615 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 7: I do think that they certainly know and I still 616 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 7: think that he'll sign to Pittsburgh Steelers. 617 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Stett Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, now 618 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: that the Brock party, we're starting to see some of 619 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: the numbers come out. What do you think of the deal? 620 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 4: I think it's fair. 621 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 7: I mean I think it was you know, I was 622 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 7: always thinking if you could get him at fifty, which 623 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 7: you know, it's amazing to say those numbers, If you 624 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 7: get him at fifty and haven't build it up to 625 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 7: fifty five fifty seven, I'm comfortable with that's. I don't 626 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 7: think it's far off. I think it's a good deal. 627 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 7: I mean, it's a great deal for Brock. Pretty how 628 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 7: much is enough? 629 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: Right? 630 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 7: And I think that that's what you've got to look 631 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 7: at with this situation, you know, the I think the 632 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 7: reason why the number wasn't a little bit lower is 633 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 7: that you know, both John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, we're 634 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 7: very vocal about how much they love them, and so 635 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 7: that gave the agent every reason to just say, yeah, 636 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 7: I don't need to hurry this deal. 637 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 4: You guys just know this is where our ranges and 638 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 4: that's which we're going to be. 639 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 7: And so he came in below the you know, the 640 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 7: magical fifty five number that a lot of guys hit. 641 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 7: I'm fine with the deal. He's a winner, and I 642 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 7: think it's the right move for the forty nine ers. 643 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 7: I'm in agreement with signing them. 644 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: Can they win with him at quarterback and the roster 645 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: they have now. 646 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 7: Yeah, if they can, if they can get everybody there right, 647 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 7: could Trent Williams put through a season. I think that's 648 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 7: gonna be a big piece of it. It's going to 649 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 7: be like it's gonna be helped this thing. I think 650 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 7: from an offensive standpoint, they're going to be in good shape. 651 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 7: Brandon and you hopefully be back. Rickey Pearsov's I've talked. 652 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 7: I'm a huge fan. Obviously, Kittle still there and Chris 653 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 7: I think they could score some points and defensively, yeah, 654 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 7: there's some things missing. 655 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 4: But that's why you saw them be so aggressive in 656 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 4: the draft. 657 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 7: Right, I mean they took their gosh, what was it, 658 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 7: basically their first five picks all on defense, or first 659 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 7: four picks all went defense for a reason. They understood 660 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 7: where they sat at that position. And you know, these 661 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 7: guys are gonna have to step up, but I think 662 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 7: they can. I think they could be competitive. 663 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 4: And I think when. 664 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 7: You think about the NFC West, you gotta like the 665 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 7: Rams and what they've done. Arizona's the sleeper team, but 666 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 7: I'm not counting out San Francisco. Any one of those 667 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 7: three teams could win that division. 668 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're if you're back in your position 669 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: as gentle manager in three years, what's so likely did 670 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: you allow one of your players under contract to play 671 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: flag football in the Olympics. 672 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 4: That's your question? Oh? Slim and none. I mean it's so. 673 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: Hard, none, zero chance. Like I'm old enough, I'm old 674 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: enough to remember, and obviously I don't remember Robert Edwards, right, 675 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: So for. 676 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 7: People anybody who's been around. 677 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And for people who don't know, I'm sorry, Mark, 678 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: I know you know I'm gonna say this was about 679 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, right, somewhe in neighborhood. Two years ago, 680 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: he was he had a very good rookie year with 681 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and at the Pro Bowl they played like 682 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: a sand football game? Is that right? And then and 683 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: then his yeah, it might have been rookies in second 684 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: year's rookies against second years, or maybe rookie rookie whatever 685 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Point is like, what could happen sand football? 686 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: It's Hawaii. What happened was his knee turned the wrong way. 687 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 1: His knee turned like wow, and obviously he was never 688 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: the same, Like, there's just I don't even know why 689 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: it's being discussed. There's no chance any of these guys 690 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: are allowed to play by their NFL club, are they? 691 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 4: I mean I would have. 692 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 7: A really really really hard time doing that. It h 693 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 7: you know, I mean it was nineteen ninety eight, and 694 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 7: so it was. It's just something that everybody who's ever 695 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 7: been around the game is going to absolutely think about 696 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 7: every second. So could this be another rucker? Because the 697 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 7: Robert came up of a huge yea yeah, a thousand 698 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 7: yards cut the ball in the backfield. 699 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 4: You know, over ten touchdowns. It was like, Wow, this 700 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 4: guy's going to be the guy. 701 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 7: And then boom. It's all gone in a blink, and 702 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 7: so it's going to be very hard pressed for me 703 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 7: to want to let somebody out there. I'm with you, Doug. 704 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 7: It's easy for me to sit behind the desk and go, hey, look, 705 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 7: go get a gold medal. But it's also my career 706 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 7: that's online, and that coaches career and the rest of 707 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 7: the players in that locker room's career that if you 708 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 7: go down to something crazy, you happen to be the 709 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 7: unlucky player that can have ramifications throughout the entire franchise, 710 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 7: and that, to me, it is hard to imagine putting. 711 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 4: Them out there. 712 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter, what do you do in terms of one 713 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: to play both sides of the footbell? 714 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, even they're showing you not like he I appreciate it. 715 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 7: It's such a feel good story. It makes the Jacksonville 716 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 7: Jaguar fans feel better. They're like, oh, we got our 717 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 7: number one receiver and our number one corner. It's not 718 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 7: going to happen in the National Football League. 719 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 4: It's just there's no way in his side. 720 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 7: I don't think it's possible that you can go out 721 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 7: there and play one hundred and ten and twenty hundred 722 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 7: and thirty snaps and not break down. It's just it's 723 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 7: not gonna happen if you can't do it. The guys 724 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 7: are too big, too strong. I still think he should 725 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 7: play corner and have packages on offense or yeah, you 726 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 7: want to put him out. 727 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 4: Of a series here and a series there. 728 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 7: Sure, But you know what, if I'm on defense, you 729 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 7: know I'm gonna what I'm gonna do if I'm If 730 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 7: I'm on offense and he's on defense, I'm going to 731 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 7: go routes on him all the time. 732 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: I know that. I mean, listen, Stanford did that Tim 733 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: two years ago. It absolutely worked.
