Speaker 3: the playoffs. They lost in Game six to the Lakers

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: last night. The Lakers moving on and another play in

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: team goes to the conference finals, the Lakers and the Heat.

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: And you know, good morning fellas.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: This might be a good time to say, you know,

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: just just subtly, I was right.

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: I told you, I told you about Golden State.

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: I thought they were the NBA's version of the Tampa

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers, where Tampa all season last year, eight and nine.

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: Don't believe in us, we have flaws. Then the playoffs

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: roll around, Let's go with the goat, Let's.

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 4: Go with Tampa Bay. They've got the pedigree.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Now they were one and done.

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: I saw the same thing written all over the Golden

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: State Warriors. They won one series in seven, which was

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: a dogfight against Sacramento, and they go down at the

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: hands of the Lakers.

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: That defending champs are gone.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: What do you think about that? Huh? Well, what I

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 4: think about it is I just wish it was a

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: better fight. And what I mean by that is, for

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: both of these teams, we had too many blowouts. We

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: had too many we had too many games where the

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: points scored against you know, the losing team. Obviously we're

35
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: out of control in the fourth quarter. Because both of

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: these teams are kind of old, they're kind of fragile,

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: and they kind of like to take the rest of

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: games off when things aren't.

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: Going their way.

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: And I don't know about you guys, but my biggest

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: complain about the nb postseason, because I thought, I thought

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: this actually started out to look like a pretty good

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: NBA postseason, is the more veterans that filter to the

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: you know, now we're getting into the nitty gritty here,

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: the final four teams. You know, the more veteran leaden

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: teams you have, the more it seems like the give

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: up factor in the fourth quarter is there.

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: And it's it's upsetting, you know, it really is.

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: Like I think we only got one really truly great

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: back and forth game out of this Warriors Lakers series.

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: And I was excited for this series.

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: I was like, oh man, this could be a war

53
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: Like we could see you know, a couple of you know,

54
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 5: maybe for the last time, even you know, Steph Curry,

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 5: Klay Thompson, Dreymond Green.

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 4: He got Lebron James in LA. Who knows how long

57
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: he's gonna be there for.

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Just duke it it out.

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Man.

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: We got one game that really felt that way, Game three,

61
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: Game three of this series. Outside of that, maybe it

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: was Game four. Outside of that, it felt like whatever

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: team had the lead in the fourth quarter, the other

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: team just laid down for him and said, yeah, you

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: know what, No Moss, We'll see you next time.

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: You know what, though, guys, that's kind of the NBA

67
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 6: in a nutshow right now. Like that's what the regular

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 6: season was. It was who's playing tonight? All right, do

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 6: we have enough guys to fill the roster? All right,

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 6: go out there and see what we can do. And

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it was like that every night. I mean,

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: I know there were some important games, and there were

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 6: some exciting games. But I do think this postseason has

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 6: been congruent with what we saw during the regular season

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 6: in the NBA, which is a lot of volatility. It

76
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 6: makes it interesting from a betting perspective because you just

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 6: never know when the game's gonna fall off a cliff

78
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: and whatever number they posted pregame just means absolutely nothing

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: but a lot. You're right, I mean, I'm going through

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 6: a lot of the scores from this round. I mean,

81
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 6: the only really good game, like really good, close back

82
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 6: and forth game was Celtic Sixers Game four that went

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 6: to overtime. Everyone else and there's a couple of Game

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 6: one decided by that was the that was the Sixers win.

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Game one, Game one with a beard he hit

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: a three, you know he scored what.

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right too. That's right too. Yeah,

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: that was a good and too. So really that's six.

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 6: So that's Celtics Sixers series that's going seven, which is

90
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 6: the only series that went seven.

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: Is clearly the best series.

92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 6: But the question you have to ask yourself too is

93
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 6: and this goes back to the original question, Brian, here's

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 6: here's what I think of the Lakers.

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Warriors series, Jokicic is going to the finals with the Nuggets.

96
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: Clap it up.

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean to me, like, that's that's the takeaway here,

98
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: because I just I don't see how Denver, who has

99
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 6: looked like the best team all year and has the

100
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 6: best player I think, still is gonna I don't want

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 6: to get say free pass, but how much gass do

102
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: the Lakers have left in the take after after these

103
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 6: two series?

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: That's the question, because when they are like when you

105
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: just leave the gas station that's sort of the Lakers

106
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: last night, and you're like, wow, man, I got I

107
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: got five hundred and thirty miles to go on this tank.

108
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: This is gonna last me forever.

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: And then you're like mid midweek, you're like it's starting

110
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: to get down there, you know, Like so that's what

111
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: I wonder about the Lakers last night. Anthony Davis goes

112
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: for twenty rebounds. He's affecting shots defensively when he is

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: locked in and when he has the energy, he is

114
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: freaking unbelievable. And you could see him change so many shots,

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: shots selection guys, turning layups down the block on Devincenzo

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: right before halftime. That leads to a half court Austin

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: Reeves heave and then him accidentally slapping a fan.

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: What a sequence that was.

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, But that's the thing is the Lakers man, when

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: they've got that energy and when they have a full

121
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: gas tank, they've got real talent. But like you said,

122
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: it's a seven game series against Denver Jared, so I

123
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to have enough to get

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: over that hump, but that is an interesting matchup going

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: in for sure.

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: You know.

127
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: The other story, obviously, that you have to touch on

128
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: is the fact that Anthony Davis, who has looked hot

129
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: and cold, you know, in and out this whole series.

130
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: He's an X factor, But you can't depend on him.

131
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: You just can't. I mean, I know, I mean put

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: aside what you think about the hit to the head,

133
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: whether it actually caused an injury or he was faking

134
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: it or you know, it was something more than we

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: maybe thought in the moment, and it just resolved itself

136
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: fast enough for him to factor. Whatever whatever you felt

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: about the hit, I mean, this is part and parcel

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 4: to who he's been his whole career. I mean, he's

139
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: just he's just not a healthy play layer, you know.

140
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: So you get real concern here if you have a

141
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: lengthy series coming up next. I mean, there's no there's

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: no chance, you know what I mean. I just I

143
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: because Lebron can't do it on his own, and uh

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: and it just doesn't it doesn't look like it's in

145
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: it's a it's a situation that gives you an opportunity

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: to win without him.

147
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Reeves has looked great.

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: Uh Hachamra has been better than anybody expected him to

149
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: be in the postseason so far, and they've gotten a

150
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: lot of help from the bench, But without Anthony Davis,

151
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: I mean he is right now the heart and soul

152
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: of this Lakers team.

153
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Nuggets I think are the deepest team

154
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 6: in the postseason. I thought that's why they had a

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 6: really strong edge over the Suns in that series. I

156
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: don't want to say it was disrespectful that the Nuggets

157
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 6: weren't underdog in that series against the Suns, but I

158
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 6: guess like you could say that and you could get

159
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 6: away with it because Denver is Denver's like the almost

160
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 6: like a Volvo, right, Like, it's not flashy when it

161
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 6: drives by.

162
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be like, wow, look at that. Man,

163
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I want to buy one of those.

164
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 6: But they're very dependable and they've got it. This is like,

165
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 6: this might be my favorite metaphor I've ever made on

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 6: the show. They just get the job done. And you know,

167
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: I had a Volvo growing up. My mom had one

168
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 6: like it was this very dependable car. It never broke

169
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 6: down and everything worked, you know, And I guess maybe

170
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 6: the Lakers are a little more like a Lamborghini, right

171
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 6: Like you gotta fill it up every time. You got

172
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 6: to make sure nobody scratches it and nobody touches it

173
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: or dense it, and you maybe keep it in the

174
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 6: garage a little longer than you probably should, you don't drive.

175
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: It as much.

176
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 6: But it really is going to be one of those

177
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 6: series where obviously, if Lebron an ad or at peak

178
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: peak operating capacity, they could win that series. But I

179
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: think the deeper, just like I felt the deeper the

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 6: Nugget Suns series went, it was advantage Nuggets because Phoenix's

181
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 6: bench was so thin and it was really Katie and

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: Booker and nobody else. That's kind of what we've got

183
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 6: here in this Lakers series. It's Lebron and Ad and

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 6: it's really nobody else, and Denver can just keep coming

185
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: at you in waves. If it's not Jokic, it's Murray,

186
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 6: then it's Porter Junior, and it's Gordon. It've got called

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 6: well Pope that Jermichael Green's giving him a really good

188
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 6: minutes off the bench, and they've got just a lot

189
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 6: of really well polished role players that I think understand

190
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 6: what it takes to win. And the best record in

191
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 6: the West this year. So I don't see a universe

192
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 6: where Denver, barring some kind of explosion from Lebron and

193
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 6: ad over the next two weeks, it's not the Denver

194
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 6: Nuggets representing the Western Conference in the NBA Finals.

195
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: I do love the Volvo thing, and it reminds me

196
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: of something that Kevin Durant said about Nicola Jokic. Or

197
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: he's given him as props, but this is what he

198
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: said about just how Jokic looks out there just doing work.

199
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Check this out, hey, when he makes cheffs because he's

200
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: so un orthodox, and it's like, oh, yeah, that's.

201
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: A miss, and then they goes straight in. You know,

202
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: he's incredible. It's so true.

203
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: But you know, if you're picking up, if you're picking teams,

204
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: at the local Why you're not taking Yoki first?

205
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 6: Non he and then he's you know, shoving it in

206
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: your face the real game.

207
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: That's what's interesting too, is I think a couple of things.

208
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: I think a reputation versus reality.

209
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Is always an interesting thing.

210
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: Where if you think about like I started off talking

211
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: about Tampa Bay, where the reputation was it's Tom Brady,

212
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: We've seen them do it before, but the reality was

213
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: they just weren't that team this past season. It's the

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 3: same thing with Golden State. They have that reputation, they're

215
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: defending champs. We've seen Stephen dre and Clay win four rings, right,

216
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: but the reality of this year they were eleven and

217
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: thirty on the road and they lost three on the

218
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: road in that series against the Lakers, right, like it came.

219
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: Back to bite him. Look at Jordan Poole, Like Jordan.

220
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: Poole was a ball last year and was a shell

221
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: of himself this year. And that's the other part that

222
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: I think is interesting. There's what I call faith and

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: anti faith. Okay, so if you are a fan, you're

224
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: in the media, you're a gambler, whatever. I always find

225
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: it interesting where there are teams like the Nuggets who

226
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: haven't done it yet, and if you're backing them, you've

227
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: got to have some faith. And then what's really tricky

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: is there are teams and players like the Warriors, like

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: Jordan Boole, who have shown you we've done it, we've

230
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: won it all, we've come up big before, but it

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: might be for Gayzy in this particular postseason.

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: And so that's it's so fascinating.

233
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: Where you've got to have faith with the team or

234
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: a player that hasn't gotten there yet. But you can't

235
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: be swayed and misled by someone who's got it done

236
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: in the past, gotten it done in the bat, but

237
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna falter this season.

238
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: I find that to be fascinating.

239
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, and you kind of look at this matchup,

240
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 4: the big matchup going into this series between the Nuggets

241
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: and the Lakers, Anthony Davis, Nicolo jokicch. Yeah, Davis obviously

242
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 4: has more postseason success, but you know, to make another

243
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: comparison that makes sense to me is it's kind of

244
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: like jokicch that unorthodox style is like the golfer who

245
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: has a hard slice but he plays it right, you know,

246
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: so he's gonna aim like at three o'clock on the

247
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 4: T box and you're.

248
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Like, what is this guy doing? He's aiming out of bounds,

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: but then all.

250
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: Of a sudden times, yeah, the ball just slices back

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: and it lands safely in the fair way, and you're like,

252
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: wait what I mean? And then you got Anthony Davis,

253
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: who I mean he can hit a drive three hundred

254
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: and fifty yards when he gets a whole bit, but

255
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: he only does that once once a nine, you know

256
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like he's spraying it around the course,

257
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: he's playing from out of bounds, he's asking for help.

258
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: But you know it's just I I look at consistency

259
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: in a postseason and I say, that's what I want,

260
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 4: even if it looks a little funny, even if it

261
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: looks a little goofy, even if you're watching somebody aim

262
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: at a bounds, but it just the ball just curves

263
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: nicely back to the fair we Each time, I'd rather

264
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: that guy than have the guy where he steps to

265
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: the tea box and geez, you don't know where the

266
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: ball's gonna land.

267
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be on this course or the next.

268
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: It's either gonna be on the green, or it's gonna

269
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: be on the freeway, you know.

270
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: And that's Anthony Davis.

271
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: Anthony Davis even when he's healthy, Even when he's healthy,

272
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: sometimes he plays like he's unhealthy, you know, because he's

273
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: just not checked in all the time. Now, I get it.

274
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 7: After the game, he wants to do a little crowing.

275
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: He wants to, you know, clap back at everybody who

276
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 4: calls him street clothes Davis.

277
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: But guess what you are who you are.

278
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: It's not like we all, and I'm talking about everybody

279
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: want to feel this way about Anthony Davis, like that

280
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: he's fragile, or that you know, he can't be the

281
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 4: guy to lean on or depend on. Nobody wants to

282
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: put that on you. You put it on yourself. This

283
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: is a guy who's built a career around being available,

284
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: you know sometimes. So I'm just very curious to see

285
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: if consistency, like the old Volvo out there, you know,

286
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 4: the three handicapped golfer with the huge slice that he

287
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: plays appropriately beats out the lambeau that you got sitting

288
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: in the garage more than you got on the road

289
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: because he's banged up all the time.

290
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: I'll make another golf reference too.

291
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 6: It reminds me of so the Nuggets are kind of

292
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 6: ther and I'm gonna take iron off the tee here

293
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 6: and just hit it two hundred and fifty yards right

294
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 6: in the middle of the fairway and then be a

295
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 6: nice little one hundred and seventy five yard one hundred

296
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 6: and fifty yard approach shot and then two putts for par.

297
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 6: Whereas the Lakers are a little more Hey, all right,

298
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 6: let's pull out the big dog and see where this

299
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 6: sucker lands. Maybe it's in the fairway three hundred fifty yards,

300
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 6: Maybe it's in the pond to the left where I

301
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 6: don't want to be. Imagine you go back to the

302
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 6: bubble where the Lakers beat the Nuggets in the conference

303
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 6: finals in five games, and you and you just, you know, go,

304
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: you know, bury yourself under a rock for three years,

305
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: and you come back three years later and say, yeah,

306
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 6: this time, Jokic is actually minus one fifty in that series. Yeah,

307
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 6: and you're like, wait, what what happened over the last

308
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 6: three years that Anthony Davis and Lebron James and the

309
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: Lakers are not favored in a series against Nicole jokicch

310
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 6: in rkets and I guess home court, you know, you

311
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 6: throw the home court in there.

312
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it changes the variables a.

313
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 6: Little bit, but the Nuggets are a pretty sizable favorite

314
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 6: in this series considering the firepower on the other side

315
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: and who that team is, so it is pretty impressive.

316
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 6: I think finally, the Nuggets are getting a little bit

317
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 6: of respect in the market because they were an underdog

318
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 6: against the Suns and that was that was easy pickens.

319
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: But there's a chance. I don't want to say that

320
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: this you know, series over four it started. I mean,

321
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: that's just crazy at sports, anything could happen.

322
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 6: But I think the matchups and the depth of Denver

323
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 6: is going to be tough to overcome because the Lakers

324
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 6: half it's really two guys, and the Nuggets could beat

325
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 6: you with multiple guys. And their MVP is not a

326
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 6: guy that needs to score forty points on any night

327
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 6: for the Nuggets to win. He can score ten and

328
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 6: the Nuggets can win the game by thirty because he

329
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 6: has fifteen assists and twenty rebounds and you just can't

330
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 6: stop them. So it should be a really fun series.

331
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 6: I'm sure the headlines will continue to will continue to

332
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: gravitate towards Lebron and ad but Nikola jokicch is he's

333
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: the star of the show.

334
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: I think in this one, guys, I.

335
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: Think that the Nuggets are a little bit more cutout

336
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: for marathon. They're a little bit more cut out for

337
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: distance running. I think the Lakers are more of like

338
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: a four hundred meter team. I'm not gonna say it's

339
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: a one hundred meter, but they're more four hundred meters

340
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: where it's like, man, that was impressive, but if you

341
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: lengthen that thing to a half marathon, like, oh no,

342
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: Lebron's not a young buck anymore. Ad Like Rich pointed out,

343
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: he's up and down, hit or miss. The energy is

344
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: here one night, it's not there the other night. So

345
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: I just think that the Nuggets, now that we're at

346
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: this stage the conference finals, this is the third series

347
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: now in the postseason, I think the gas tank could

348
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: definitely come into play. All right, we are off and running.

349
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: We got Rich Oornberger, Penn State All American with us.

Speaker 3: and the Jets your Jets, Jared, Oh boy, they go

361
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: from ffter thought to center freaking stage.

362
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: What a surprise, man.

363
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: They've got primetime games galore, and I mean I get it.

364
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is over there now. So they are a

365
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: draw and it starts in week one, Monday Night Football.

366
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: They host the Buffalo Bills. Interesting stat were the Bills

367
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: They went five to zero in primetime games last season.

368
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: The Jets have lost seven straight primetime games. For whatever

369
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: that's worth. It goes a lot of rosters back in

370
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: the archives right there. But I can't wait to see

371
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: what the Jets do this season and what type of

372
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: start they get off.

373
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: To think about this too.

374
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: Outside of the primetime games, and they've got the Black

375
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: Friday game the day after Thanksgiving, they'll play the Dolphins.

376
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: So that's a standalone game. It's not just primetime games,

377
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: it's standalone games. So you get to see the Jets

378
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: six times in terms of standalone games. But think of

379
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: this start. Three of the first four games are really

380
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: tough for the Jets. They've got the Bills at home,

381
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: They're at Dallas, and then after playing the Patriots, they

382
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: host the Chiefs on Sunday Night football. That is a

383
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: tough beginning to the season. And I'm curious, is this

384
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: a one in three football team? After the first four?

385
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 3: Are they two and two? They surprise us and go

386
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: three to one. But that start for the Jets is

387
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: obviously really really important with Rogers there and basically a

388
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: new era of Jets football.

389
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: You know, I actually really like how the Jets are

390
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: built from two standpoints. One, obviously, they needed a quarterback.

391
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: And by the way, the schedule makers, I'm guessing because

392
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: I don't know how long it takes to make a schedule,

393
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 4: but I'm guessing they had two different schedules for the

394
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 4: entirety of the NFL. The schedule they were going to

395
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 4: announce if Rodgers was playing in New York. In the

396
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: schedule they were.

397
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Gonna announce if Rogers was still in Green Bay.

398
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: I mean, think about that, they got six primetime games.

399
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: There's no chance the Jets would have had six prime

400
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: time game. I think they forgot.

401
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: I think they forgot that Aaron Rodgers isn't also on

402
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: the Packers, though I don't know why they're featured in

403
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: primetime so but yeah, yeah, maybe that.

404
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: Was the continguency planning, like, well, we can't change it now, guys,

405
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: might as well just give it to him.

406
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're gonna have one of these two teams

407
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: may be dogs, but we're we're pretty good with, you know,

408
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: giving it the test run on Jordan Love because we're

409
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 4: pretty sure that it's gonna be Aaron Rodgers in New York.

410
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: But I digress. I think that was one of the

411
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 2: biggest issues.

412
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: The other big issue for the New York Jets for

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: a long time, basically since the end of the days

414
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 4: where it was you know, Brickshaw, Ferguson at left tackle

415
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: and Nick Mangold at center, all pros so many times

416
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 4: over throughout their historic careers in New York. Is that

417
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 4: offensive line since basically the early two thousands has been

418
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 4: nothing you could.

419
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: Write home about.

420
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, quietly they've built up a

421
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: pretty decent offensive line, and Joe Douglas has made it

422
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: a point to become deeper at that position and to

423
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: load up on good talent. And if you're gonna have

424
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, who is approaching forty be your quarterback, you're

425
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: gonna need him protected. And so I think that this

426
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 4: Jets team gets off to a hot start because they're

427
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 4: gonna be able to do what the better Packers teams

428
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: recently have been able to do with Aaron. They're gonna

429
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 4: be able to really feature the run game, which they

430
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 4: were able to do many times over last year. They

431
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 4: just didn't have enough talent at quarterback to scare you

432
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: down the field. But if you can feature the run game,

433
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: you know, and have Aaron Rodgers play a complimentary piece

434
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: to this offense with some of the weapons that they've

435
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 4: brought him for him, I think the Jets are one

436
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 4: of the scariest teams in the NFL. And it's very

437
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: strange how people talk about them. It's almost like it's

438
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: almost like, you know, I get it. They weren't a

439
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: very good team US year, But they weren't a very

440
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 4: good team LUs year because of their quarterback.

441
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: That was about it.

442
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: I mean, think about the names that they started at quarterback,

443
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco, Mike White, Zach Wilson. I mean, can any

444
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: of those three hold a candle Taron Rodgers. Answer is no,

445
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: not at this point. If Aaron Rodgers just plays well,

446
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, he doesn't have to play otherworldly,

447
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: he just needs to play well. And that's a playoff

448
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: team last year. So if he has anything resembling a

449
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 4: good or even great season, the New York Jets could

450
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: potentially even win a Super Bowl.

451
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 6: I mean, Rich killing me this morning. I hope you're right, Budd.

452
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 6: I'm literally sitting here like praying that you're right.

453
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 4: I think it's a very good football team. I think

454
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: they got a great defense, not just a good defense.

455
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 4: I think the New York Jets are underrated because of

456
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: how terrible their quarterback play was last year.

457
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: It was almost unspeakably bad.

458
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for this Jets season.

459
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 6: I mean, so, I'll come at you with two different

460
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 6: versions of the analysis here.

461
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Obviously.

462
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 6: The first is the analysis from my betting, you know,

463
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 6: unbiased robotic gambler perspective, which is the Jets schedule does

464
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: not favor them based off of the optics of the schedule.

465
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: It's an early bye week.

466
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 6: I don't think that favors a veteran quarterback out of

467
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 6: the gates. It is a gauntlet. Buffalo, Dallas, New England,

468
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 6: Kansas City, Denver. They played the two Super Bowl teams

469
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: from last year within a three week stretch. Granted they're

470
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 6: both at home, but and then in between they have

471
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 6: to go to Denver. Like it just it's a really

472
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 6: tough first six weeks for a new team with a

473
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 6: new quarterback and a new corps. Now that being said,

474
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: if they can start three and three going into that

475
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 6: bye week, or God please willing four and two, then

476
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, it changes the optics of where

477
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 6: you see the trajectory of that season going.

478
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: Rich, I agree with all your points the offense.

479
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I saw my little Jets fandom group chat

480
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 6: my cousin who been a you know, he's the one

481
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 6: that took me the Jets playoff game in nineteen ninety

482
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 6: eight when I was twelve years old against the Jaguars.

483
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 6: I was freezing. I took us off at the metal ends.

484
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 6: It was like twenty degrees in the middle of January

485
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 6: in the swamp, and you know, Vinnie Testaverdi and Keith

486
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: Byers and Curtis Martin just running all over that Jaguars team.

487
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 6: Then they go to Denver the following week and of course,

488
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 6: you know, fumbles on the goal line.

489
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: Barcos go to the Super Bowl and win the Super

490
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Bowl two years in a row.

491
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 6: But not since those years have we seen now the

492
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 6: core in place? And you think Rex Ryan, they had

493
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 6: a couple good years there with Mark Sanchez, but let's

494
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 6: be honest. You take Mark Sanchez's rookie season and compare

495
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 6: it to Aaron Rodgers this stage, there is no comparison.

496
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: So the hope is there and the core is there.

497
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: But this is a tough schedule, it really is. And

498
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 6: I know maybe the schedule looks different when we get

499
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 6: to the actual games themselves. We're gonna analyze it six

500
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 6: months or four months out here and we'll get blue

501
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: in the face. But when we get to these games,

502
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: if they play out the way we think they're going

503
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 6: to play out, they are in for a dog fight

504
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 6: six consecutive weeks to start the season before they're and

505
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: I hope they get through it because if they do

506
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 6: all the things that you're saying, Rich could absolutely come

507
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: to fruition, but I could also see a world where

508
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of sluggishness. Josh Allen comes into

509
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: MetLife in week one and shows you who the real

510
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: top dog is in the AFCAS. Then the following week,

511
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 6: on a short week, they have to go to Dallas,

512
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, it's Bill Belichick coming

513
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 6: into town and we all know all the demons.

514
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: That gets exercise there.

515
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 6: And then it's Patrick Mahomes and then they got to

516
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 6: go to altitude to Denver, and then it's Jalen Hurts

517
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 6: an Eagles. So there is an element of man, what

518
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 6: if they're two and four, one and five, Yeah, you know,

519
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 6: going into that bye week, but we'll see it should

520
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 6: be fun.

521
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: Get your popcorn ready.

522
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: It'll be a lot of fun.

523
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: And speaking of fun, oh yeah, I mean it kind

524
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: of writes itself. He's basically the popcorn of Fox Sports Radio, right,

525
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: you just get your popcorn ready, kick back and listen

526
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: to information mixed with style. That is the description of

Speaker 2: H Yeah.

571
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: Something else that I caught that was maybe not as

572
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: hilarious as the Magic Johnson tweets, but This one's pretty good.

573
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: So you guys remember the story of the cheating fisherman.

574
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: This goes all the way back to a fishing tournament

575
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: last September.

576
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he loaded up a fish with like leads. Yeah seekers, right.

577
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: The Lake Erie Walleye Trail Tournament. Okay, we had a

578
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: couple of low lives Jacob Runyan forty three, Chase Kaminski

579
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: thirty six. They're like, you know what, let's load these

580
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: fish with weights and win this tournament.

581
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: What do you say.

582
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: We got cash on the line. We stand to win

583
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: about twenty nine thousand dollars. So they got busted. They

584
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: were sentenced to ten days in jail, and their fishing

585
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: licenses have been revoked for the time being. We're talking

586
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: maybe about three years no fishing license. But the funniest

587
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: thing to me is this goes all the way back

588
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: to last September. So the Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament director, Okay,

589
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: this guy, when he's weighing the fish, he noticed, man,

590
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: they weigh a lot more.

591
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: Than they should.

592
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: And so they investigated and all of a sudden, these

593
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: led weights start spilling out and the official called out,

594
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: we got.

595
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 4: Weights and fish. Now I don't know.

596
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: I find that to be even better than the Magic

597
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: Johnson post game wrap up tweet. I know it's it's

598
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: a close finish, but whenever the tournament director yells.

599
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: We got weights and fish, I don't.

600
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: Know, I just lose it myself.

601
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: Oh dude, that that that video. I'm embarrassed with how

602
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: many times I watched that from start to finish, because

603
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 4: there's so many people in the frame. There's so many

604
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: people in the frame that when you start like focusing

605
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: in on each person and how they handle this information

606
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 4: being shared, there's a mixture of confusion and anger and

607
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: then the guys who got caught themselves embarrassment and also like,

608
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: you know, a little bit of fear because you know,

609
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 4: the crowd starts closing in on him, like you did

610
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 4: you rig our company?

611
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 6: Your fair in the crowd, Like the fishermen are in

612
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 6: the like the stand or like in like the area

613
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: where they're waying.

614
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh, I have no idea fishing tournaments.

615
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: They're standing, they're standing next to the guy and like

616
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, the crowd. It's almost

617
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 4: like if there were pitchforks and there were torches available,

618
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 4: people would be picking them out how to look this up.

619
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: It's incredible. It is incredible.

620
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 6: So I mean again, maybe it's just because I'm looking

621
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 6: up too many other random numbers for random teams that

622
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 6: I miss some of these these little subsidiary stories. But

623
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 6: this is I'm reading the story now, website. Man, you

624
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 6: gotta have a really tough, tough go of it to say, hey,

625
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: we're gonna cheat here with this fishing you know, this

626
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 6: big fishing tournament. Like the prosecutors called them two crooks

627
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 6: and they likely cheated another tournaments. Yeah, this is a

628
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 6: big this is a crazy story is becoming quickly one

629
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 6: of my favorites.

630
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Shorty, Now, I want sushi for lunch.

631
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: Though it reminds me, Jared, of what you were talking.

632
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: It was a random connection, but it reminds me of

633
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: the Alabama college baseball betting scandal that if you just

634
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: don't bet too much and you stay under the radar.

635
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 6: Maybe And now the Iowa guys, what's it? Yeah, can

636
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: we get Sam's opinion on what the Iowa situation is

637
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 6: right now? Apparently that's becoming a big the part two

638
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 6: of this camp.

639
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: It's the same thing with weights and fish. You know,

640
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: if you go tastefully done. Maybe maybe you slip by,

641
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: but they went crazy and we got weights and fish.

642
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: That's the other thing, though, is if you're in the

643
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: clink for ten days, I think you gotta embellish your story.

644
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: I also love the way you just describe that, Like,

645
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 4: if you're gonna be a cheater, you better be a

646
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: tasteful cheater.

647
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: Tasteful, you know what I mean?

648
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: Like you with it, right, you gotta be able to

649
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: get away with it. Yeah, if you're gonna if you're

650
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: gonna run around on your wife or your girlfriend, you

651
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: can't get caught because you know you got you got

652
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 4: your your side, your side, lady or your girlfriend. Uh

653
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: an uber and and you you you share an account

654
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: like it better be something at the rich it better

655
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: be something in a limo, you know.

656
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just such a funny driver blows up

657
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 6: your spot. Yeah, that's the worst way to guess.

658
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: That's a terrible way. I haven't found out.

659
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: If you're gonna, if you're gonna cheat, you know, be

660
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 4: the light beer of cheating.

661
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: Don't don't go.

662
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: All the way right, that's right, you gotta be the

663
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: olduels of cheating.

664
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: You might get away with it.

665
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 6: Ye.

666
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: I think if when you're in jail, if you get

667
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: the question like what are you in for?

668
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: You can't say that's the part where you got assume

669
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: the other way.

670
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: When you're in jail, you can't be a tasteful explainer.

671
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: You gotta be in an embellisher at least got upgrade

672
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: to grand theft auto. When someone asks what you're in for,

673
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: you can't say weights and fish.

674
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: This story went off the rails. We're in the deep

675
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: bend now, boys, huh?

676
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: I love that story? All right?

677
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: Coming up next, do you have primetime beef? I've got

678
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: primetime beef. What teams are featured too much? Which teams

679
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: are featured too little? We've got rich Ornberger. I almost

680
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: said rich Eisen this is the first time.

681
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a compliment.

682
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: That's what we absolutely Yeah, we got rich Orenberger. Penn

684
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 3: Richison doesn't wear tight black T shirts.

685
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: You know, run I run a way faster forty.

686
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: I believe exactly. I believe it's hard to run slower.

687
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: I think.

00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: dot Com studios. Okay, fellas, we get to prime time

709
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: beef over here. NFL schedule has been released. All the

710
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: primetime games have been unveiled, and it's pretty interesting. I

711
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: think that some teams are featured too much. There are

712
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: some teams that are featured too little. In the too

713
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: much category, I would have the Green Bay Packers. They

714
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: don't have Aaron Rodgers anymore. I don't know why this

715
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: team would be featured. They have six standalone games. I

716
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: have no idea why. I don't know why the Raiders

717
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: are featured six times in terms of standalone games, right like,

718
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: they have one game where it's the only show in town,

719
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: so I look at it not just primetime but also standalone.

720
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: And the Bears. The Bears have four primetime games, four

721
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: of them. That's quite a bit for a Bears team

722
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 3: that had the number one overall bick because they had

723
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: the worst record. I think a team that's featured a

724
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: little bit too little. Call me a homer if you

725
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: would like, but I would say the Dolphins only three

726
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: primetime games. They play a fun brand of football when

727
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: Tua is healthy and upright, you got to track meet

728
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: on your hands with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. You

729
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 3: add the running back Devin ah Shane to that mix

730
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: and you got speed. So only three primetime games. They

731
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: do have five standalone games. So they play in Germany,

732
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: so you get the early game and then black Friday,

733
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 3: the day after Thanksgiving against the Jets, but only three

734
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: primetime games.

735
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 2: That stands out to me as well.

736
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 3: I would also say the Browns only two primetime games.

737
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: I think the Browns could be sneaky good. But if

738
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: DeShawn Watson is back to his old forum on the

739
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: football field, that's a sneaky good team. So only two

740
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 3: primetime games for them, I thought that was a little

741
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: a little light, a little light for the brown.

742
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: What is interesting about the schedule is it tells you

743
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 4: a lot about how much the NFL knows and how

744
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 4: much the NFL does behind the scenes to.

745
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: Sort of to sort of police themselves.

746
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 4: Because the NFL, all the NFL is is a bunch

747
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 4: of executives who quote unquote run the league side of

748
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 4: things and its owners. I mean it's thirty two ownership groups.

749
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 4: Those are the people who evolved the say and how

750
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: things go. Why do the Browns only have a couple

751
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 4: of primetime appearances because they're the rest of the owners

752
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 4: are still mad at the Browns for what they did

753
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: with that guaranteed contract to Deshaun Watson. Is that is

754
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 4: they're going to be punished for that for as long

755
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 4: as owners can punish them for that. So that's what's

756
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 4: happening there. In terms of the Dolphins. They're still pissed

757
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 4: that Dolphins owners for tampering, so they're being punished for that,

758
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: and they'll continue to be punishing for that until they

759
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 4: feel like there's been enough contrition or enough punishment that

760
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 4: equals the crime committed, right, because you know, it was

761
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: an act of treason amongst these owners.

762
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: The reason why the Raiders.

763
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: Have six primetime games is because Tom Brady all of

764
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 4: a sudden, this story emerges that him and Mark Davis

765
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: behind the scenes are working on a deal where he

766
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 4: may have an ownership stake. He's also not starting his

767
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 4: Fox contract until twenty twenty four. I mean, it's very

768
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: possible that Tom Brady could suit up for the Raiders

769
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 4: if he has a minority share in the team, And

770
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't that be good for the NFL If all of

771
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: a sudden, somewhere in the preseason, Brady announces his return

772
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 4: to the NFL and Vegas just happens to have six

773
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 4: primetime games.

774
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: Shocking development there. I think that's what you gotta do

775
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 3: to get primetime games. It's just have a connection to

776
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: Tom Brady.

777
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.

778
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 6: I like your take there, rich with the with the

779
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 6: punishment fits the crime in terms of what the owners

780
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 6: want to do with a lot of these primetime games.

781
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: I agree.

782
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 6: I do think the primetime games are almost like rewards.

783
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 6: They're like treats for a dog after a good day, right,

784
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 6: or you could take it away. You put the dog

785
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: in the cage if he's being bad. You know, you

786
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 6: have to put him in the corner. If he's chewing

787
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 6: up your chewing up your pillows or your couch. Right now,

788
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 6: Jack Pott's currently resting comfortably on the couch though, so

789
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 6: no issues there. But I think a lot of the

790
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 6: descriptions you guys said makes sense. I could make a

791
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 6: case maybe for another primetime game for maybe a team

792
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 6: like Carolina with Bryce Young, or maybe one one less

793
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 6: for a team like Denver with with with with Russell

794
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 6: Wilson after what they had last year. And we can

795
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 6: split hairs about the numbers. But I think all of

796
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 6: your analysis there's really really sound.

797
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: You know.

798
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: I like this tweet too, Jonathan checks In sounds like

799
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: you wears Packers underwear, but it wrote the Packers are

800
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 3: a huge draw. No, Aaron Rodgers, there anymore, and people

801
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: are curious about how Jordan Love performs. Come as no

802
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: surprised that the Packers have a number of primetime games.

803
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: Consider me surprised.

804
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: They are not a huge draw and I'm interested, but

805
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 3: I'm more interested in other teams.

806
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: Thumbs up thumbs down NFL style.

820
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: Okay, fellas So a couple of things with the NFL

821
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 3: schedule here, I thought we would do do a little

822
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 3: thumbs up thumbs down. You know, either may gusta thumbs

823
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: up or no, make gusta thumbs down. What do you

824
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: think about the kickoff game to the entire season the

825
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 3: defending champion Chiefs. As traditions since two thousand and two,

826
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: they host the initial game on Thursday night. It's against

827
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: the Lions. I'm gonna go thumbs down on this because

828
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 3: there are far better options. I can't even sneak the

829
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 3: Lions into the top five in terms of opponents for

830
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 3: the Chiefs to start off the season. And look, I'm

831
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: gonna be watching and it might be a good game.

832
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: It's just Jared Goff. I don't think sizzle. Oh Jared Goff.

833
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 3: You know, he did have twenty nine touchdown passes last

834
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 3: year that was tied for fifth with Kirk Cousins. So

835
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 3: I'm not making him out to be a hack quarterback,

836
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: but he's not box office. And when you've got the

837
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: first matchup of the season, I just thought they were

838
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: better options. You've got listen to this home schedule for

839
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. You could have had the the You've got

840
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 3: the Eagles, You've got the Bills, got the Bengals, Yeah,

841
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 3: the Chargers, come on, even the Broncos. Like, I can't

842
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 3: even sneak the Lions into the top five.

843
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: So thumbs down on that. For me, I get it.

844
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 4: I agree that there may have been better opponents, but

845
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 4: I don't hate this opponent. And I'm pretty high on

846
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions May Goosa thumbs up. I really love

847
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: what Dan Campbell has done there, the culture he's created.

848
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 4: I'm hoping we see something similar with the Miko Ryans

849
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 4: in Houston, you know, just a complete culture change, a

850
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 4: guy who is about that. First, he was like, you know,

851
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: I could do it with anybody, but the most important

852
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 4: thing is I need to do it with the guys

853
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: I have right now. And he's got a lot of

854
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 4: belief in that locker room. So I can't wait to

855
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 4: see what they look like Game one of this upcoming season.

856
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 4: The other side of the coin is, look, they're sneaky,

857
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 4: kind of built the same way the Chiefs are. Like,

858
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 4: this could be a shootout, this could be the most

859
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 4: fun game on the schedule Week one, because I mean,

860
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 4: defense hasn't really been a priority for the Chiefs over

861
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 4: the years. I mean, the Chiefs have routinely had one

862
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 4: of the top offenses in the league since and Andy

863
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 4: Reid has taken over. I mean, just take the past

864
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: three years as an example. I mean, they're getting better

865
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 4: at stopping teams from scoring against them, but they give

866
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 4: up a whole boatload of yards.

867
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: You know.

868
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: So I just feel like this could be one of

869
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 4: those games where it's a track meet where you have

870
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: that that Detroit Lions offense which was able to score

871
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 4: in bunches stop nobody defensively, and the Chiefs defense, who's

872
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 4: more stingy than that but still not one of the

873
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 4: top in the league by a stretch where they feature offense.

874
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: I love it. I love this matchup. I'm really excited

875
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: for it.

876
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: You know what the irony is, and you just nailed it. Rich.

877
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 6: So the total, so there's already lines you cant bet

878
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 6: on the Week one games around. The total in this

879
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 6: Chiefs Lions game is fifty three and a half, which

880
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 6: is a pretty high total, and there isn't another total

881
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 6: on the board that's even higher than fifty in Week one,

882
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 6: so by over a field goal, it is expected the next.

883
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: Highest total is the Dolphins Chargers at forty nine and

884
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: a half.

885
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 6: So by the gambling terms, this is absolutely going to

886
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 6: be the highest scoring early is projected to be the

887
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 6: highest scoring game of Week one, and I think that's

888
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 6: so I'll give it the thumbs up, but almost like

889
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 6: the do you remember the Gladiator thumbs up where where

890
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 6: Joaquin Phoenix is kind of like wavering his thumb.

891
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: Up down and oh, yeah, I give the thumbs up.

892
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 6: I think what the NFL is trying to do here

893
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 6: is they are trying to I don't want to say

894
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 6: replace Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but give a team

895
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 6: in the NFC North a chance to shine, because, let's

896
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 6: be honest, the NFC lost one of its rightest stars

897
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 6: at the most important position in this offseason. So maybe

898
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of renewal. Because I heard the interview.

899
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 6: It was actually Dan Patrick. I think it was on

900
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 6: this network that he did the interview with the broadcasting

901
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 6: official for the NFL, and he asked him directly, why

902
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 6: the Lions in Week one?

903
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, and you laid it out, Brian.

904
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 6: It could have been the Chiefs, it could have been

905
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 6: the Bengals, could have been a Super Bowl rematch, but

906
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 6: they chose Detroit because they like the vibe that Dan

907
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 6: Campbell's bringing to that team, and he thinks it's an

908
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 6: exciting team with a quarterback coming back and an offensive

909
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 6: coordinator coming back and an offense that should be really explosive,

910
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 6: and it has the makings of one of those I

911
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 6: don't know, thirty eight thirty five kind of games, which

912
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 6: we just saw in the Super Bowl a few months ago.

913
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 6: So I could see this being a really exciting game.

914
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 6: I agree that the in terms of the ranking of

915
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 6: the opponents the Chiefs are playing, the Lions aren't even

916
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 6: in the top four. But I could see this being

917
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 6: a really fun game, and I think that's what the

918
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 6: NFL had money.

919
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 4: I don't watch game.

920
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch because I'm a football junkie, but I

921
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 3: don't get more excited for games because of who the

922
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 3: coaches are, Okay, Like I've never done that, Like, oh

923
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 3: we got Mahomes at oh oh yeah, Dan Campbell, Like

924
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 3: what are we doing here? More times than not, it's

925
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: built up and promoted as the quarterback matchup, and I

926
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: don't know, like Mahomes GoF, that's not nearly as good

927
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: as Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Mahomes, Josh Allen, Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Like,

928
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 3: I just thought there are better options. I'll be watching,

929
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: but I just I don't know. I think that's a

930
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 3: second rate game to go with how about this thumbs

931
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 3: upper thumbs down Monday Night Football staggered starts.

932
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 4: So we got a taste of this last year. What

933
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: they're gonna do.

934
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: There are three weeks where they have two games and

935
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: it's not a true double header. They are staggered starts.

936
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 3: So let's say you start a game at seven o'clock,

937
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: you see the first half, and the next game starts.

938
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 3: It's at eight thirty, so you actually have two games

939
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 3: going on at the same time. That'll be the case

940
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 3: in weeks two, three, and fourteen. Gigantic double thumbs down.

941
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 3: I freaking hate the staggerd starts on Monday Night football

942
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: and I'm an NFL junkie. But after Sunday, I don't

943
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 3: know how you guys watch. I've got tablets and TVs

944
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 3: and all these Sunday games. We sometimes have double digit

945
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: early windows Sunday games. I've even either got screams galore

946
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 3: or I'm in the sports bar and I'm watching like

947
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: it's a tennis match and you just lined me with

948
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: illegal drugs.

949
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: I'm just looking all over the place.

950
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: I like just.

951
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 4: Watching one game on That's just one game.

952
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: But so I'm thumbs down on the Staggard starts on

953
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: Monday night. What do you guys say about that?

954
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 4: Now, just so I understand this perfectly, the Staggart starts

955
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 4: meaning that they are going to overlap at some point.

956
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 3: Yep, they overlap. Yeah, yeah, so it's not a true double.

957
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 3: I don't I don't love it either. You have thumbs

958
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: down for me. I do agree with you.

959
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 4: There is something special about primetime being standalone, not only

960
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 4: from the fans standpoint, but as a former player, when

961
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 4: you're on Primetime, it's it's your team's opportunity to have

962
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 4: all the shine.

963
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 2: Man Like, I can't.

964
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: Tell you how many times I mean throughout a season,

965
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 4: if I was playing for a lousy team, you know,

966
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 4: there's no text messages during during your game because you're

967
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 4: not on on local markets where your family or your

968
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 4: friends are from. But on Primetime you get back to

969
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 4: locker room, you have like a hundred missed text messages.

970
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh you were on the screen. I saw you blocked

971
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 2: this guy. That was a great play.

972
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 6: You know what.

973
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: You guys ran it down their throat.

974
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 4: Whatever it is like, you know, it's like it's your

975
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 4: it's your opportunity.

976
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 2: And now, don't get me wrong, I get it.

977
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 4: I get it because the NFL is just trying to

978
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 4: dominate every single hour of primetime viewer throughout the week

979
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,479
Speaker 4: of the I mean, we're gonna get to a point,

980
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 4: I think where most of the week is going to

981
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 4: be covered up by NFL at some point. I mean,

982
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 4: within the next two decades, primetime viewing is just going

983
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 4: to be basically from August until February is going to

984
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,959
Speaker 4: be NFL in the primetime. But we're not quite there yet.

985
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 4: And I agree with you. I would rather you do

986
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 4: Tuesday Night football and have a standalone game on Monday

987
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 4: and Tuesday rather than stagger them on Monday.

988
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree.

989
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 6: As A nine is the word I would use here, Like,

990
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 6: like the NFL is kind of cutting off their nose

991
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 6: despite their face with a lot of this you know

992
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 6: primetime stuff. They are infiltrating the airwaves across multiple.

993
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: Days, time zones.

994
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 6: Countries, everything, and it's at a certain point it is overload.

995
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 6: I think we've reached the point of overload. But because

996
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 6: it's the NFL, we continue to watch and we continue

997
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 6: to absorb, and let's be honest, we're going to you know,

998
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 6: change our our calendars and our schedules and our viewing

999
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 6: habits in order to accommodate the NFL because they know

1000
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 6: they can get away with it. That's why they do it,

1001
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 6: and that's why they keep adding Black Friday games and

1002
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 6: Cyber Monday games and you know, games on every holiday

1003
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 6: that you could possibly imagine, Like the NFL has just

1004
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 6: completely taken over Christmas Day now from the NBA, Like

1005
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 6: you can forget about that now.

1006
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: And it's just it.

1007
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 6: Really is interesting to see the development of the culture

1008
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 6: of the NFL schedule. It really has become front and

1009
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 6: center appointment viewing every major holiday from the months of

1010
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 6: September through January.

1011
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: So I don't like this.

1012
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 6: I wish that they gave the standalone but I'm sure

1013
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 6: there's some corporate reasoning behind it that we're unaware of.

1014
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 6: But at this stage I would agree thumbs down, No

1015
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 6: me gusta for the crossovers.

1016
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 2: Very nice, all right?

1017
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 3: How about this one thumbs up with thumbs down Bengals

1018
00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs in Week seventeen, So you can the

1019
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 3: thinking here is that the NFL they're hoping that this

1020
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: is a game for whatever seeding purposes, maybe home field

1021
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 3: throughout the entire playoffs, it could come down to that.

1022
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: It's a little dicey that in Week seventeen, second to

1023
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 3: last week of the season, that it isn't the situation right,

1024
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 3: like it isn't for home field or any of that.

1025
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: So it is a bit risky. I'm gonna go thumbs

1026
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: up though. This reminds me. You like this, Jared, This

1027
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 3: reminds me of a season long bet, you know what

1028
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 3: I mean. Like, if you bet a season long win

1029
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 3: total and you put a decent amount of change on it,

1030
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: some people just don't want to.

1031
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 4: Wait that long.

1032
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 3: You think I could bet first half Nuggets Lakers and

1033
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 3: first quart I wint tip off. If I win, I

1034
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 3: got my cash right there, baby. But if you have

1035
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 3: the discipline and you have a good angle, the season

1036
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: long bets sometimes bear the most fruit.

1037
00:51:59,200 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 1: Yep.

1038
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say this most likely will have great

1039
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: significance in Week seventeen. So I'm gonna go thumbs up

1040
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: on this. What do you think that late in the season,

1041
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 3: though it is risky. Bengals at the Chiefs in Week seventeen.

1042
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 2: I love it.

1043
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 4: And also it's New Year's Eve. I think this game's

1044
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 4: got juice. This quarterback matchup's got juice. The other thing

1045
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 4: is like, similarly to how is just discussing the Detroit Lions,

1046
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 4: you know, and taking on the Chiefs in game one?

1047
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 4: It being a track meet, high scoring affair. That's what

1048
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 4: I think the thought process is here. It's a party night,

1049
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 4: you know. How do you steal attention away from what

1050
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 4: people are going to be doing on New Year's Eve?

1051
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 4: Have an amazing offensive explosion type game. Now, assuming everyone's healthy,

1052
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 4: because that's the other thing you got to worry about

1053
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 4: when you're scheduling Week seventeen.

1054
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to assume health.

1055
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 4: But Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, their complimentary parts around, their

1056
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 4: offense is respectively, still healthy and intact. This could be

1057
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 4: one of the highest scoring games of Week seventeen. And

1058
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 4: the NFL knows what they're doing with fantasy football. I mean,

1059
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 4: offense creates box office for these teams, and so that's

1060
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 4: the reason why I think they slated it, and I'm

1061
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 4: buying in. I think that this, again, assuming health, is

1062
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: going to be one of the best games on the

1063
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 4: schedule Week seventeen.

1064
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 2: It happens to fall in New Year's Eve.

1065
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the New Year's Eve angle.

1066
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 6: I don't know I'm assuming because it's a Sunday there

1067
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 6: will be no college football crossover there with the College

1068
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 6: Football Playoff.

1069
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: But I'm also assuming I don't have the schedule in

1070
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: front of me.

1071
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 6: A Saturday College Football Playoff semi final followed by Sunday

1072
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 6: Chiefs Bengals, including the rest of the week seventeen schedule,

1073
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 6: that is a pretty tasty weekend of football ladies and gentlemen.

1074
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 6: But there is a lot of meat on the bone

1075
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 6: with this chief schedule this year. Very tough schedule. The

1076
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 6: back half of the schedule is very tough. They finish

1077
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 6: at the Chargers, they have to go to New England.

1078
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 6: They played Buffalo, they have to go to Green Bay

1079
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 6: in December, they played the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch.

1080
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 6: So that and that's all after thereby in Week ten.

1081
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 6: So that gauntlet run for the Chiefs, I mean, those

1082
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 6: last eight games, it's unbelievable. Eagles at Raiders, at Packers, Buffalo,

1083
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 6: New England, Vegas again, Cincinnati Chargers, who they better be

1084
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 6: ready for that stretch run and they better get off

1085
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 6: to a good start because I think the popcorn for

1086
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 6: the Chiefs on the back half of that schedule is

1087
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 6: a very much megusta appointment viewing for Patrick Mahomes and

1122
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 3: pressure rankings of first year starting quarterbacks. Now, think about

1123
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 3: this in the NFL, it's sort of the rookie quarterbacks

1124
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 3: Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, so forth, and so on.

1125
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 3: And the first year guys Jordan Love taking over in

1126
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 3: Green Bay. He hasn't started many games, this would be

1127
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 3: his first year as the legitimate first string quarterback. And

1128
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 3: then also how about Desmond Ritter in Atlanta. He's only

1129
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 3: got four starts under his belt at the tail end

1130
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: of last season. So if you think about these first

1131
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 3: year starting quarterbacks, the rookies, and also Jordan Love, Desmond Ridder.

1132
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 3: Who's facing the most pressure I think easily at the

1133
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 3: top of the list. I think it's Jordan Love because

1134
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 3: you take over for Aaron Rodgers and there are gonna

1135
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 3: be some people that are reasonable for like a game

1136
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 3: or two, and then if he's not anywhere near Rogers,

1137
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 3: which most likely he won't be initially, and you go

1138
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: from think about this, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. They've

1139
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 3: had quality quarterback play for the last three decades and

1140
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 3: so those comparisons are just going to be made and

1141
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 3: it leads to the perfect recipe of not being patient

1142
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 3: enough and giving the guy enough runway to ease into

1143
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 3: that spot. So I think that Jordan Love, I'll put

1144
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 3: it this way.

1145
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 4: C J.

1146
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 3: Stroud, Bryce Young, They're not filling the shoes of a

1147
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 3: legendary quarterback on the heels of another legendary quarterback. So

1148
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 3: I just think the spotlight is going to be big time.

1149
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 3: It's gonna be brighter, and the microscope is going to

1150
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 3: be larger that Jordan Love is under. I think he's

1151
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 3: facing the most pressure of these first year starters.

1152
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if we're gonna limit it only to

1153
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 4: first year starters. I agree with you. I think it's

1154
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 4: daunting to take over for one of the just I

1155
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 4: mean to stay you would any way you describe Aaron Rodgers,

1156
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 4: you understate his dominance in this league. I mean a

1157
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 4: lot of people are bothered by Ann Rodgers.

1158
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: I get it.

1159
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 4: But as a player, I mean, he's he's a Mount

1160
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 4: Rushmore type player. Now, I don't know if he's on

1161
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 4: my Mount Rushmore, but you could. You could hear the

1162
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 4: arguments for it. He's an all timer. So yeah, Jordan Love,

1163
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 4: in terms of first year starters, arguably has the most pressure.

1164
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 2: On him amongst those.

1165
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 4: If we're gonna just leave it at that, I want

1166
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 4: to expand the scope for just a moment to include

1167
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 4: the quarterback I think is under the most scrutiny this

1168
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 4: season and has the most pressure. And this is obviously

1169
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 4: not just limiting the conversation of first year starters. Is

1170
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 4: Mac Jones.

1171
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

1172
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 4: I think if you're Mac Jones, who also is filling

1173
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 4: in for one of the greatest, if not the greatest,

1174
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 4: football player to ever play the game, three years later,

1175
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 4: he's playing for his job. I mean, he already due

1176
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 4: to injury has had, you know, people calling for his

1177
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 4: understudies to take over for him in certain cases because

1178
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 4: people are just got so fed up last year with

1179
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 4: some of the stuff going on in New England. But

1180
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 4: I think I think among all the thirty two starting

1181
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the NFL today, Mac Jones is the one

1182
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 4: who's under the gun the most in terms of needing

1183
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 4: to perform to keep his job.

1184
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard not to say of the first year

1185
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 6: as Jordan Love has to be. I mean, it's like

1186
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 6: replacing Derek Jeter, you know, and that was Dide Gregorius's

1187
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 6: job with the Yankees, and he did an admirable job.

1188
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if you could can make the same

1189
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 6: apples to apples comparison in the NFL, because the quarterback

1190
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 6: position just matters so much more than the shortstop position

1191
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 6: in Major League Baseball. But Jordan Love is absolutely under

1192
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 6: the microscope. I think there are some other interesting veteran

1193
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 6: quarterbacks that are going to be facing a lot of

1194
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 6: early pressure. Ryan Tannehill and Tennessee absolutely got mister Mayo himself,

1195
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 6: Will is breathing down his neck, and then you've got

1196
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 6: I think Derek Carr New Orleans is an interesting situation

1197
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 6: because he's brought in with a coach that he's familiar

1198
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 6: with and they're expecting him to hit the ground running

1199
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 6: right away. But that's a tough situation anytime you go

1200
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 6: to a new team and you're expected to win as

1201
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 6: a veteran quarterback right away, Because unlike the rookies and

1202
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 6: unlike even Jordan Love, I think there's gonna be a

1203
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 6: little leash, maybe less leash with Love, but definitely leash

1204
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 6: with the rookie quarterbacks. Whereas when you bring in a

1205
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 6: veteran like a Derek Carr and you're paying them all

1206
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 6: this money, you expect him to hit the ground running

1207
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 6: and there to be a seamless transition.

1208
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: I think the Rams situation is fascinating too.

1209
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 6: Obviously with Matthew Stafford, there's so much uncertainty with his future.

1210
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: And they play in a division that is no bueno.

1211
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: It is not an easy division. I know.

1212
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 6: Maybe it's a little bit easier this year because the

1213
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 6: Niners they have their own quarterback. Yes years, maybe you

1214
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 6: can throw them into the situation too, And then Dak

1215
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 6: Prescott too with the Cowboys. Right like, it's always high

1216
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 6: upside regular season and then just the gaff you know,

1217
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 6: the bumbling postseason situations that keep tripping up Dallas. But

1218
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 6: I think he's under a bit of a microscope too,

1219
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 6: with the Cowboys and the Eagles making it to the

1220
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 6: super Bowl in that division last year. And of course

1221
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 6: the Giants and Brian Dable have a lot of upside

1222
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 6: as well. So in rookie first years, I agree it

1223
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 6: has to be Jordan Love. If you expand that to

1224
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 6: some of the veteran guys, maybe their first year with

1225
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 6: a new team, or just overall veteran quarterbacks with question marks,

1226
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 6: I think you can throw a lot of teams into

1227
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 6: this conversation.

1228
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 2: You guys.

1229
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 3: You guys are all about expansion over here. It went

1230
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 3: from first year starters to Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford.

1231
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 3: Good lord, we started talking about who the best running

1232
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 3: back is.

1233
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: It ended on the best wide receivers.

1234
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 6: Kind of keep you on your toes, Brian, I don't

1235
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 6: make things easy for you there in the hosting chair.

1236
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 2: You well, I can't.

1237
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 3: That's fine, man, You go wherever you want to go.

1238
01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 3: But I think this about pressure. I think it's too compartments. Largely,

1239
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 3: it's two categories, which is who's gonna get called out

1240
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 3: the most should they falter a little bit. And then

1241
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: I also think how much pressure is on you based

1242
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 3: on your supporting cast, and so I think CJ.

1243
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 4: Stroud falls into that latter category for sure.

1244
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: He might even fall into the former category where if

1245
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 3: he falters, he might get called out. He's a rookie,

1246
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 3: so it might not be as loud as a little

1247
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 3: bit later in his career. But what he's surrounded by

1248
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 3: I've been banging this drum ever since the draft is

1249
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 3: he went from Ohio State into Who's who's supporting cast?

1250
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 3: To what Tank Dell does? They have it around him

1251
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 3: in Houston. So I think that's the part of it

1252
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 3: too where you might not get called out as much,

1253
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 3: And that's a part of the formula of who's facing

1254
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 3: the most pressure, But it's also your supporting cast, right

1255
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 3: Like who's supporting cast takes some pressure off of you.

1256
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 3: Desmond Ritter is a good example with the Falcons. So

1257
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 3: he's surrounded by Drake London, Kyle Bits. They go out

1258
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 3: and draft Bijon Robinson. He's surrounded by a good complement

1259
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 3: of playmakers. Uh, That's not the case in Houston. So

1260
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a shock city for c. J.

1261
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: Stroud.

1262
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 3: But that to me, the pressure that discussion, I think

1263
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: it's also it's not just who's getting called out the most,

1264
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 3: it's who's surrounded by a cast where it either helps

1265
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 3: him out or it puts them in a worse position.

1266
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 3: And if we expand beyond the first, Mac Jones a

1267
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: great example, I love what exactly is he surrounded by

1268
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: that takes pressure off of him? Nothing, He's surrounded by

1269
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: stuff that puts pressure belichick him.

1270
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: That's it, and that puts more pressure on him, right, Rich.

1271
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Oh, no question about it.

1272
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not an easy place to play when you

1273
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 4: have everything you need. In mac Jones' situation, I mean,

1274
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 4: I I don't know. I don't know how you operate.

1275
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 4: I mean, because they they've made very few changes to

1276
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 4: imbue you with more help. And and then you know,

1277
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 4: I get it, Billy O'Brien's back, But what do you

1278
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 4: I mean, how is he gonna polish up this offense

1279
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 4: without more help? Maybe they've got to rab it up

1280
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 4: their sleeve. I don't know, But Mac Jones, I mean,

1281
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 4: good luck, man. This is gonna be a long season,

1282
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 4: it feels like for the Patriots.

1283
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with that assessment one hundred percent. But

1284
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 6: also Desmond rit Or in Atlanta is an interesting one too,

1285
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 6: because I think the expectations in Atlanta are higher than

1286
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 6: maybe we think they are, because it's a coach coming

1287
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 6: back for another year and he has the quarterback now

1288
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 6: for a second year, even though he didn't start much

1289
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 6: last year, and they treated the draft like they're a

1290
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 6: team that's ready to win.

1291
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Now.

1292
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 6: You don't take a running back in the top ten

1293
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 6: unless you feel like you can make some waves this year.

1294
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 6: So I think and that Division two is up for grabs.

1295
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, we can go around the horn and

1296
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 6: take all of these teams and just dissect them to

1297
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 6: the hundredth degree because I think all of them it's

1298
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 6: the NFL. They're getting paid millions of dollars to play

1299
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 6: a children sport. There's pressure everywhere to perform, and it

1300
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 6: stands the NFL stands for not for long for a reason.

1301
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 6: But I think Jordan Love to go back to the

1302
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 6: original discussion topic. Jordan had to bring it all back

1303
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 6: to the head. Jordan Love is it's like replacing Derek Jeter,

1304
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 6: It's like replacing Tom Bray like it's it is the

1305
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 6: biggest shoes possible to fill, and I think mentally how

1306
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 6: he handles it will give us a better glimpse into

1307
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 6: the situation than physically, Like how he handles those ups

1308
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 6: and down. There's gonna be ups and downs no matter

1309
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 6: how well he plays. How he handles those ups and downs,

1310
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 6: I think will give us a big, big glimpse into

1311
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 6: what's going on behind the.

1312
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Curtain the an Green Bay.

1313
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 3: I do like what you said about Sometimes they say

1314
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 3: the NFL stands for not for long. You know what

1315
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 3: stands for long? Isaac Low and cron Oh, yeah, he's

1316
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 3: going anywhere.

Speaker 6: Bury Isaac's life for him like Morgan Freeman.

1324
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 8: You could be my hype many Speaking of hype, who

1325
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 8: would have thought that after a two and ten start

1326
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 8: to the regular season we'd be hyping the Los Angeles

1327
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 8: Lakers as one of the final four in the NBA

1328
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 8: Because in Game six of the Western Conference semi Finals

1329
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 8: last night, the seventh seed defeated Golden State one twenty

1330
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 8: two to one to one to take the series in

1331
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 8: six games. The Lakers now six to Ozero at home

1332
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 8: in the playoffs. As Magic Johnson detailed earlier, Lebron James

1333
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 8: had thirty Anthony Davis seventeen points twenty rebounds. Austin Reeves

1334
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 8: scored twenty three, including a fifty four footer at the

1335
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 8: halftime buzzer. It'll be the Lakers against Denver for the

1336
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 8: Western Conference Championship. In Game six of the Eastern Conference

1337
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 8: semi Finals, eight seed Miami defeated the New York Knicks

01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 8: ninety six to ninety two. They advanced to the conference

1339
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 8: finals as they take that series. He's also in six

1340
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 8: games for the Heat. It's their third Eastern Conference Final

1341
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,040

Speaker 8: are going to the Eastern Conference Final for the first

1354
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 8: time since nineteen ninety six, when the phrase rat trick

1355
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 8: became popular back in the day at the old Miami Arena.

1356
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 8: Those were the days. In Game five of the Western

1361
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 3: It is Fox Sports Saturday, right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1362
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 2: You know.

1363
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 3: Adam Schefter just put this out on Twitter where the

1364
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 3: Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts he received his master's degree in

1365
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 3: human relations this weekend from the University of Oklahoma, and

1366
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 3: cheft He's got a short video included there and shout

1367
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 3: out to Jalen Hurts, think about this where he saw

1368
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 3: it through he gets his master's degree. He's a rich

1369
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 3: NFL quarterback right now. He could have been like, ah,

1370
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 3: screw it, I don't need this master's degree and he

1371
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 3: saw it through.

1372
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: I think that's an awesome story.

1373
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 3: The one thing I'd like to point out, though, is

1374
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 3: why have we not progressed with graduation attire. Why are

1375
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 3: we still wearing goofy gowns? Why is that still a thing?

1376
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Why?

1377
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know what, In reality,

1378
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 4: I wish I could comment. I the last time I

1379
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 4: wore a graduation gown was in high school.

1380
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: I never walked for my graduation.

1381
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 4: Really yeah, because I graduated in the spring of two

1382
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 4: thousand and eight and I was drafted and never made

1383
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 4: it back to campus to walk for graduation. So I

1384
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 4: guess I felt like it was this goofy polyester thing

1385
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 4: that I had to wear in the blazing hot June

1386
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 4: sun in New York in two thousand and four, and

1387
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 4: I haven't thought about it since.

1388
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, now that you mentioned.

1389
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 4: It, we could all just graduate wearing playing clothes, and

1390
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 4: I think the same ends would be mad.

1391
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm fine with the hats. Hats are cool. I like

1392
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 3: the little tassel thing. Now move it to the other side,

1393
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 3: that's fine. But the gowns, gowns gotta go.

1394
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 6: And then they throw the hat up in the air.

1395
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 6: I like that Penn State graduation over the Bryce Jordan Center.

1396
01:09:57,960 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: It was very fun. You know, there are some cool

1397
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: t traditions that they have.

1398
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 6: I know South Carolina University of South Carolina, they allow

1399
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 6: the mascot whoever was the human in the mascot costume

1400
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 6: for all that not the actual game cock. They let

1401
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 6: them wear like the big fluffy, you know, mascot feet

1402
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 6: as they walk and it's like the reveal of who

1403
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 6: the mascot is. Like, I know, certain colleges have these

1404
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 6: like traditions of like attire and decor for graduation day.

1405
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 6: That's one of my favorite ones. But yeah, I think

1406
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 6: the gown, especially because I don't know if now, granted

1407
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 6: it's been a while. It was two thousand and eight

1408
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 6: when I graduated college, but I remember wearing it and

1409
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 6: it was like polyester, and it was may.

1410
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: It was kind of hot, sweating, like tuck us off.

1411
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 6: I was wearing like nice clothes underneath it, and we

1412
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 6: had a graduation lunch afterwards with my grandparents.

1413
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: I was like sweaty. So yeah, I could make a

1414
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: case for some you know a little more.

1415
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 6: You know, I guess the custom attire perhaps for graduation.

1416
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 2: I do like that.

1417
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 3: That's the other thing is the you know, the sweat

1418
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 3: factor where you're just that's a different kind of reveal,

1419
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 3: you know when you get rid of the count and

1420
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 3: we don't want that.

1421
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want that. We got a lot to

1422
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: do over here.

1423
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 3: We've got Rich I almost did it again, Rich Ornburn,

1424
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 3: not Rich Eisen.

1425
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 4: What's happening over I've never done.

1426
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: This and we've been doing the show for almost a

1427
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:24,280
Speaker 1: year now. I mean, it's not like you.

1428
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 3: What I blame My backup computer is what I'm blaming

1429
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 3: right here, Big, you've got mail.

1430
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 6: I guess we got to get Rich on the show now. Yeah,

1431
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 6: we should get wax poetic about the riches.

1432
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 3: That'd be fine. We can talk trash. I know he's

01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 3: a Michigan guy. So we've got that lot. Absolutely, you

01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 3: Okay, fellas, I think that I think you're gonna like

1450
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 3: this next story. So it is Patriot related, and it

1451
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 3: is rags to potential riches related, and we all love

1452
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 3: a rags to riches story over here. So the Patriots

1453
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:49,719
Speaker 3: they have signed an undrafted rookie free agent. This guy's

1454
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 3: name is Jordan Heilig from Appalachian State. And so this guy,

1455
01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:00,479
Speaker 3: he's a backup linebacker, didn't play that much. In fifty

1456
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 3: one career games, he had thirteen tackles on defense, but

1457
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 3: he had twenty one tackles on special teams. He has

1458
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 3: nearly nine hundred snaps on special teams. And so the

1459
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 3: Patriots they signed this guy just because the special teams

1460
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 3: that they're trying to beef up their special teams units.

1461
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 3: They were really really bad last season. That's normally not

1462
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 3: the case in New England. To take it a step further,

1463
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 3: this guy entered the transfer portal. So he was a senior,

1464
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 3: he graduated, has one year left and so he hit

1465
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 3: the transfer portal on December fifth. Was looking to get

1466
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 3: more snaps as a linebacker, was willing to go down

1467
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 3: to the FCS level.

1468
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:46,919
Speaker 2: No takers.

1469
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,799
Speaker 3: Nobody offered this guy a scholarship, so he's just waiting

1470
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 3: around and he's like, am I done? So he goes

1471
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 3: and starts working at a Zaxby's. Very good Zaxby's Chicken

1472
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: by the way, fantastic fast food restaurant. But he starts

1473
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 3: working at zach Spy's to pay bills, doesn't hire an agent,

1474
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 3: doesn't go to Apple Lasian States Pro Day because he

1475
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking about turning pro. And then he gets a

1476
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 3: call from the Patriots and they're like, we'd like you

1477
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 3: in camp. So now he's signed. He's got a chance

1478
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 3: to make the team. Obviously nothing's guaranteed, but it's been

1479
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 3: nineteen straight years that the Patriots on their initial fifty

1480
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 3: three man roster they've had an undrafted free agent. So

1481
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 3: maybe this guy, Jordan Heilig out of Appalachian State. You

1482
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 3: talk about plucking a guy from total obscurity. This would

1483
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 3: be that, but really good story there.

1484
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 4: Look, the Patriots have a knack for taking a player

1485
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 4: who understands the special teams game in turning him into

1486
01:14:54,880 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 4: a pro bowler. Look at the recent history, well, I

1487
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 4: should say the bellchich check history with players like Larry

1488
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 4: Izzo and Matthew Slater.

1489
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Now, a lot of people and that comes to them up.

1490
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people.

1491
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 4: Don't remember either of these guys when you think about

1492
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 4: the New England Patriots time of dominance. But Larry Izzo

1493
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 4: is a three time pro bowler, three time NFL Super

1494
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 4: Bowl champ. Matthew Slater ten time pro bowler, three time

1495
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 4: Super Bowl champ, actually two times All Pro also for Slater.

1496
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 4: The reason why I bring up these two names is

1497
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 4: because Slater has barely started games. He's barely recorded snaps

1498
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 4: on offense or defense over the course of a seven

1499
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 4: or how long of a career is it now, I

1500
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 4: mean it's.

1501
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Like eight, it's got about fifteen years, Yeah, about fifteen years.

1502
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Larizzo played I think fourteen years.

1503
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: You know.

1504
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 4: So these two guys, over the span of time that

1505
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 4: Belichick has been there was some overlap but over the

1506
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 4: span of time since Belichick has been the head coach,

1507
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 4: have been special team captains and some of the best

1508
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 4: doing these jobs, these sort of dirty jobs in the

1509
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 4: NFL over the course of their careers. And so Slater,

1510
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, he's getting to the end of

1511
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 4: his rope. I mean, twenty twenty two, he's aged thirty seven.

1512
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,759
Speaker 4: You know, I remember when I was playing in New England,

1513
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 4: he was a young pup ben And I've been retired

1514
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 4: now for eight years.

1515
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 2: And he's still doing it.

1516
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So they need to find their next Matthew Slater.

1517
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 4: And that's why I think that the Patriots went ahead

1518
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 4: and and uh and got their guy out of app state.

1519
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 6: Is there any team that does a better job of

1520
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 6: this than the Patriots of like taking the obscure and

1521
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 6: making them prominent. Yeah, I mean, it really is the

1522
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 6: most It's the most unassuming franchise when it comes to

1523
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 6: the amount of like big star power talent that they

1524
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 6: bring in. But they always seem to be in that,

1525
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 6: in that in the mix every because they're just so

1526
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 6: well coached and so buttoned up. Now, I'll be honest,

1527
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 6: I've seen some chinks in the armor of the last

1528
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 6: couple of years. Maybe it's Brady leaving. Maybe Belichick's lost

1529
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 6: a step with his you know, his edge that he has,

1530
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 6: the mental edge that he brings. I can't speak to

1531
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 6: the specifics, but maybe the league is changing a little

1532
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 6: bit and you can't get away with smoke and mirrors

1533
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 6: as much as you could ten years ago. But it

1534
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 6: is kind of the Patriot way. I mean, that's the

1535
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 6: way that they do things. And until it just completely

1536
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 6: falls off a cliff or until Bill hangs it up,

1537
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 6: I don't see it going any differently up there. And

1538
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 6: like they don't care that they don't have a big

1539
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 6: name wide receiver, they don't care that their quarterback is

1540
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 6: not a guy that you would want, you know, you

1541
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 6: know in the strongman contest or in the fast man contest.

1542
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 6: It's a very unassuming roster. But they all play as one.

1543
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 6: And that's the game in the NFL. And you know

1544
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:00,719
Speaker 6: the special teams lot.

1545
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing is with the Patriots. I think

1546
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 3: that when you're talking about doing the little things and

1547
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 3: finding an obscure, potential special teams player that has thirteen

1548
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 3: career tackles as a linebacker in college, that's the Patriots

1549
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 3: and so I think there's a tendency to say, well,

1550
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 3: the magic's kind of worn off. They just don't have

1551
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 3: the star power, right if they had a star quarterback

1552
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 3: and a little bit more talent, they don't have anything

1553
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 3: close to it Tom Brady or a Randy Moss on

1554
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 3: that team, not even close. So I think the Patriots

1555
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 3: their success when they're winning six Super Bowls, you see

1556
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 3: that they do a great job when they have the

1557
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 3: star power, they absolutely maximize it. When they don't have

1558
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 3: the star power, yeah, they're going to be a middling

1559
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 3: five hundred type team. That's what Belichick has been the

1560
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 3: last three years has been twenty five and twenty five.

1561
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 3: But you look at other teams that have star power

1562
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 3: that don't have close to the results of winning six

1563
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 3: Super Bowls because they haven't tightened the screws as much

1564
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 3: as the Patriots have. So I think that's the real

1565
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 3: thing with the Patriots. When they do have that star power, man,

1566
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 3: they absolutely maximize it because they're doing all this little

1567
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 3: stuff right.

1568
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, look, what if that's exactly the right thing.

1569
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 4: The motto in New England is do your job and

1570
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 4: remember walking through the door there for the first time,

1571
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 4: like that didn't really seem like a resounding drum beat

1572
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 4: that you could really sound, you know what I mean. Like,

1573
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 4: it wasn't all that creative. It wasn't all that like catchy.

1574
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 4: But after being there for years, I was like, Oh, yeah,

1575
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 4: if everybody just does their job, we're gonna be the

1576
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 4: best team in the NFL. Because that's all it takes

1577
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 4: is everybody committing to do their job to the best

1578
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 4: of their ability every day. And that's what they've done

1579
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 4: for years. But having said that, the cupboards have gotten

1580
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 4: bare over these recent years.

1581
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely it has.

1582
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 3: It's changed quite a bit, all right, Coming up next,

1583
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 3: It's been wild, It's been zany.

Speaker 2: Listening.

1595
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 4: We got to get to the wild, the.

1596
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 3: Zany, and the unpredictability of these NBA playoffs.

1597
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 2: That's coming up.

1598
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,200

1602
01:20:55,560 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 3: should be okay. So these NBA playoffs man pretty unpredictable.

1603
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 3: We've got two teams that were in the play in

1604
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 3: stage advance to the conference finals. The Lakers are there.

1605
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 3: The Miami Heat got there after they beat the New

1606
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 3: York Knicks last night. And just think about that, especially

1607
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 3: with the Lakers. They start out two to ten to

1608
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 3: begin the season and here they are as a team

1609
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:27,440
Speaker 3: in the NBA's Final four. That is a huge turnaround.

1610
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 3: And I also think just the unpredictability within series, not

1611
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 3: just once series are over and done with, like last

1612
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 3: night Miami advances. The Lakers get by the defending champion

1613
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors. But think about that Celtic Sixers series

1614
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 3: where just the range of good play bad play with

1615
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 3: certain players. James Harden goes nuts in game one for

1616
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 3: forty five points.

1617
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 2: No Joelleenbiid.

1618
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:02,719
Speaker 3: He goes crazy in game, scores forty two points, hits

1619
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 3: the game winning three, but then the last game he

1620
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 3: was awful over three point range, terrible from the field,

1621
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 3: been up down. Jason Tatum similar, Jason Tatum has been

1622
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 3: strong at times and other times, like Game six, he

1623
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 3: had three points in the first three quarters and then

1624
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 3: erupts for sixteen points when it matters more most in.

1625
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter.

1626
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 3: With Boston season on the line, it has just been

1627
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 3: up down, sideways, left right. It's been a lot of

1628
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 3: fun because we always do these brackets for college basketball.

1629
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,520
Speaker 3: If you filled out a bracket for the NBA playoffs,

1630
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 3: it is you got all kinds of lines, and I

1631
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 3: miss that when I missed that, when that was wrong.

1632
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 3: It's been very unpredictable, and I think it's made it

1633
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 3: a lot of fun.

1634
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree.

1635
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 4: I wish that the NBA postseason if there was a

1636
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 4: way to increase the urgency further, because it's a lot

1637
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 4: of fun just seeing the stars play. I mean, that's

1638
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 4: what's missing in the regular season is a commitment to

1639
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,080
Speaker 4: consistently see the best players on your team on the court.

1640
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,719
Speaker 4: To all at the same time, the whole Kawhi Leonard

1641
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 4: Paul George thing. They've barely played with each other since

1642
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 4: they've both end up in LA with the Clippers. You know,

1643
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, Lebron James. How often during the regular season

1644
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 4: do we actually get to see them play together. So

1645
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 4: the one good thing about the NBA postseason is, at

1646
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 4: very least, thank god, all of the players who are

1647
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 4: being paid these gigantic thirty forty you know here in

1648
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 4: a couple of years fifty million dollars per year contracts

1649
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,839
Speaker 4: are on the court together. Devin Booker, Kevin Durant another example,

1650
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 4: like it's so often that we get used to the

1651
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 4: regular season, the fact that you could turn on a

1652
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 4: you know, on any game, the game of the week,

1653
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 4: and you're you're watching It's just like, I don't even

1654
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 4: recognize names on the court right now because the starting

1655
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 4: lineup is so thin. So that's a good thing. The

1656
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 4: bad thing is, though, and you guys know it, like

1657
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,759
Speaker 4: in the NBA postseason, some of these games actually don't matter.

1658
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 2: You know, if you get.

1659
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 4: Your doors blown off by forty, you could still win

1660
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 4: a series in advance. You know, you could rest starters

1661
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 4: for a quarter for close to a half, certain teams

1662
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 4: have who have advanced, and you're not penalized for that.

1663
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 4: Imagine if Patrick Mahomes didn't play, say the fourth quarter

1664
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 4: in the divisional round and this and basically all of

1665
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 4: the second half in the conference championship, like it would

1666
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 4: never happen in the NFL because you need them on

1667
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 4: the field to win these football games. The same should

1668
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 4: go for the NBA, but that just does not exist

1669
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 4: in the NBA.

1670
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been pretty critical of the NBA regular season

1671
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,759
Speaker 6: for a number of years, and so I guess coming

1672
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 6: from me, this should hold a little extra weight.

1673
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 1: I think this has been a fantastic postseason.

1674
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 6: I think I know that maybe there hasn't been as

1675
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 6: many close games, especially in this round, and yeah, the

1676
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 6: volatility of the fourth quarter when teams kind of mail

1677
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 6: it in, sometimes it gets out of hand. But I

1678
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 6: think this has been a very entertaining NBA postseason because

1679
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 6: unlike prior postseasons.

1680
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: And Brian, I know you can speak to this because

1681
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 1: you're a big NBA guy.

1682
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 6: You don't see the eight and seven seeds advanced to

1683
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 6: the conference finals very often. The NBA tends to be

1684
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 6: chalky in the postseason because it's a best of seven,

1685
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 6: because the stars tend to shine the brightest, and those

1686
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 6: seven and eight seeds don't have a ton of stars.

1687
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 6: Usually that's why they're the seven and eight seeds. But

1688
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 6: this year there's been more parody. I think we've been

1689
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,719
Speaker 6: trending towards more parody in the NBA for the last

1690
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 6: few years, let's say, since the bubble, and this year specifically,

1691
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 6: the seeds don't matter in the NCAA tournament. This is

1692
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 6: the first year that I can recall, and maybe it's

1693
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 6: some recency buys, but the seeds just completely don't matter.

1694
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 6: It's the matchups, who's hot, who's trending down, whose ice cold?

1695
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: The Bucks and coach Bud.

1696
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,839
Speaker 6: Just completely bowing out early. And you get this Miami

1697
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 6: Heat team, which, by the way, I think they've now

1698
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 6: been to three conference finals in the last four years,

1699
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 6: so the consistency with this culture down in Miami. And

1700
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 6: then you get the Lakers. Obviously the Stars are there,

1701
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 6: but not a great regular season, didn't exactly overachieve and

1702
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 6: give you warm and fuzzies that the Lakers were going

1703
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 6: to make a big playoff run. But here we are

1704
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 6: five months later, we've got the Miami Heat and the

1705
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Lakers, two teams that were afterthoughts for a

1706
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 6: big portion of the regular season, now four wins away

1707
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:48,839
Speaker 6: from the NBA Finals.

1708
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the thing is as great as the

1709
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 3: playoffs have been, it's not great in terms of what

1710
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 3: you're hoping for rich, which is more star power in

1711
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 3: the regular season. Right because think about this. You've got

1712
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 3: the Lakers a seventh seed going to the conference finals.

1713
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 3: You've got the Heat, an eight seed going to the

1714
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 3: conference finals. That to me doesn't send a loud, strong

1715
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,680
Speaker 3: message when the regular season rolls around next season of like,

1716
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 3: we got a stack wins.

1717
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 4: We got a stack as many.

1718
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 3: Wins as humanly possible because you blinked and the team

1719
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 3: with the best record in the entire league was the

1720
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,560
Speaker 3: Bucks and they were done in a gentleman suite.

1721
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 2: They lost in five.

1722
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 3: So that's I guess that's the what's the opposite of

1723
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:36,560
Speaker 3: the silver lining, the black lining, the dark lining, or

1724
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 3: as great as the postseason has been, it doesn't lead

1725
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 3: to hey man, these teams are all when the regular

1726
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 3: season rolls around, they're trying to stack wins and star

1727
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 3: players play and.

1728
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: Get some regular season reform. Then mister NBA guy.

1729
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 3: I don't think there's much you can do. Yeah, I

1730
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 3: just think that when you hear these like these ideas

1731
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 3: is of even if you took.

1732
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 1: You didn't like that.

1733
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna do a whole lot.

1734
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna take a while for it to actually have

1735
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 3: some pizazz and some prestige. Like the worst thing you

1736
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 3: could have is a team that doesn't have a title,

1737
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 3: win the mid season the title something, yeah, like the Suns.

1738
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 2: Or the Cliffers or something like midseason tournament.

1739
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 3: I just think that it's just much more of a

1740
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 3: marathon than college basketball is. College basketball is like thirty

1741
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 3: some games and they're going for it.

1742
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, and largely we don't.

1743
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 3: We don't really pay attention because it's within the football

1744
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 3: season a large portion of it. So I think it's

1745
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 3: the same thing with the NBA. There's only so much

1746
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 3: you can do to spruce up the regular season. When

1747
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,480
Speaker 3: you're saying it rich, the Stars don't play as regularly

1748
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 3: as they do, not even close in the NFL, and

1749
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 3: that hurts. But for the here and now, the unpredictability,

1750
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 3: the zaniness of the postseason right now. I am all

1751
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 3: here for it, cause it's been tremendous thus far.

1752
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 4: I will agree, like I, this is the best postseason

1753
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 4: that I've remembered watching in a long time. And and

1754
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 4: maybe it's because we're on the other side the pandemic

1755
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 4: and you know, players are are are really interested. I mean, look,

1756
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 4: the NBA has never made more money. I don't know

1757
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 4: if it's it's not as popular nationally as it used

1758
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 4: to be, but it may be more popular than if

1759
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:34,440
Speaker 4: it's ever been in the history of its existence overseas.

1760
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,599
Speaker 4: You know, think about the fan base in Asia, think

1761
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 4: about the fan base in Canada, think about the fan

1762
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 4: base that's growing in Europe because so many of these

1763
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 4: European basketball players are now representing NBA teams. You know,

1764
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 4: this is a global sport. Africa. They're making headway in Africa.

1765
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's pretty incredible the expansion of the NBA.

1766
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 4: So I think with that knowledge, these NBA you know,

1767
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,719
Speaker 4: some of them who are stars who want to continue

1768
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 4: their reign at the top, and some of them upstart

1769
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 4: players who are starting to get their name out there. Now,

1770
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 4: if you can, if you can showcase your talent in

1771
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 4: the postseason, you are going to increase your earning potential

1772
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 4: by magnitudes. So I think there's a great personal incentive

1773
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 4: for players to play hard this time of year outside

1774
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 4: of just pride and wanting to win a championship, etc.

1775
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 2: Etc.

1776
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 4: So this has been one of the better postseasons we've

1777
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 4: seen in a while, and I think there's a lot

1778
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 4: of different factors that's.

1779
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 2: Led to that.

1780
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 4: However, I still I still just watch some of these

1781
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,719
Speaker 4: games and in the fourth quarter, I'm just like, how

1782
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 4: on earth is Anthony Davis not out there right now?

1783
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,439
Speaker 3: I do wonder I will say this though, Rich think

1784
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 3: about this too, because the marathon aspect, we don't get

1785
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 3: that in football now, especially in the playoffs.

1786
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 2: It's one and done.

1787
01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 3: I wonder if it was like a series like suspend Reality.

1788
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 3: For second, Let's say it's a best of three NFL

1789
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 3: season a series. You know, if one of those games,

1790
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 3: if that game one not going your way, you would

1791
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 3: see it a lot more often where you're like, hey, man,

1792
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 3: time to wave the white flag.

1793
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 2: Let's get ready for game two over here. Yeah yeah, no,

1794
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 2: I'd listened.

1795
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 4: Strategy is a real thing, And to your point, if

1796
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 4: it was strategy in game five for Anthony Davis to

1797
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:27,639
Speaker 4: be wheeled off the court and taken to the locker

1798
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 4: room with a boo boo.

1799
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 2: I get it, Like, I mean.

1800
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good strategy because in game six he

1801
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 4: came out and dominated the Lakers, winning the advance to

1802
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 4: the finals, so or the Western Conference finals, so great,

1803
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 4: you know.

1804
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:42,120
Speaker 2: What I mean.

1805
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 4: It worked. It doesn't mean I like it. I mean

1806
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,759
Speaker 4: there's a lot of strategies that I don't like. Milking

1807
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 4: the clock, Let's be honest. It's a great strategy in football,

1808
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,640
Speaker 4: But wouldn't it be better if everybody was trying to

1809
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 4: score all the time? You know, it's slowing the game down.

1810
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 4: Is something that sport or i should say, leagues have

1811
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 4: been trying to basically eliminate from sport with the shot clock,

1812
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 4: with the pitch clock, with the play clock in football,

1813
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 4: like because nobody's there to watch people stand around, People

1814
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,640
Speaker 4: are there for action. People aren't there to enjoy strategy

1815
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:18,640
Speaker 4: in the chess match as much as be entertained. And

1816
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 4: so that's that's my problem.

1817
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:21,719
Speaker 2: And now I think.

1818
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 4: It's a lot of people's problem, and I think it's

1819
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 4: something that the NBA is trying to address and they're

1820
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,640
Speaker 4: doing their damn list. But like when a team is

1821
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 4: down by thirteen points, they're not out of it anymore.

1822
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 4: Like perimeter shooting being what it is, a thirteen point

1823
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 4: lead can evaporate in seconds, you know, So I don't know.

1824
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 4: There are sometimes where I'm watching a game and I'm

1825
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 4: thinking myself, like, we got a ballgame still, you know,

1826
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,599
Speaker 4: we got like five minutes ten minutes left in this quarter,

1827
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 4: and we got a one team leading by ten. You know,

1828
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,600
Speaker 4: this is anybody's ballgame still. And then all of a

1829
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 4: sudden you start seeing guys, you know, taking their substitution

1830
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 4: and then not showing back up.

1831
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 2: For the fourth quarter.

1832
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 4: You know, they're taking four minutes off in the fourth quarter,

1833
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,680
Speaker 4: and it's like, what you're gonna You're gonna wave the

1834
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 4: white flag now you're still in this game. But I

1835
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 4: get your point. There is a strategy there, and and

1836
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 4: you know you kind of have to outlast your opponents

1837
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 4: to make it to the finals in the NBA.

1838
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 3: Hey, Jared, let me say something real fast before you go,

1839
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 3: because it's an interesting point. I think a lot of

1840
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:30,559
Speaker 3: it depending on what you watch as a fan. It's

1841
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 3: like if it's connected to what you love the most,

1842
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 3: and it's much different. It throws you off even more,

1843
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 3: meaning like if you're a diehard NFL fan, what you're

1844
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 3: explaining they're rich with guys like resting in the fourth

1845
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,840
Speaker 3: quarter or taking a regular season game off, You're like,

1846
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,799
Speaker 3: what the hell is this? It'd be like where you're from.

1847
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 3: If you are born in LA and you're used to

1848
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 3: the weather there and you move to like Denver or something,

1849
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 3: You're like, these winners are freaking crazy. Like that's the

1850
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,599
Speaker 3: way it is with sports fan where if your go

1851
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 3: to is the NFL, this resting at the end of

1852
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 3: games or resting for quarters or for halves. You're like,

1853
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 3: what I thought that with the Denver Phoenix game where

1854
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 3: it's like Kad and Booker, I know it's out of hand.

1855
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 3: I know it doesn't really matter, but there's no tomorrow,

1856
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 3: Like why aren't they out there?

1857
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 1: Right?

1858
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:18,759
Speaker 2: It's just different.

1859
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think if it's radically different than what

1860
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 3: you love the most, it stands out even more.

1861
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1862
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 6: I think that's why the game seven vibes are going

1863
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:29,639
Speaker 6: to be very interesting between the Celtics and the Sixers.

1864
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 6: By the way, that like that game might be one

1865
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 6: of the more bigger rock fights. Oh yeah, the defensive grinders.

1866
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 6: The total is set at two oh one and a half. Woo,

1867
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 6: And I'll give it you know, when we do our

1868
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 6: betting round table later, I'll give you some numbers on

1869
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 6: the game seven over under trends.

1870
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 1: They're pretty substantial.

1871
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 6: But again, that total, I think is indicative of the

1872
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 6: point you guys are trying to make. When the stakes

1873
01:34:56,680 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 6: get higher the games get played in almos, it's almost

1874
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 6: a completely different game. Yeah, like a Game seven in

1875
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 6: an NBA postseason it's almost an unrecognizable vibe than a

1876
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 6: random game in February, Whereas if you take an NFL

1877
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:19,840
Speaker 6: postseason game. Let's be honest, those NFL regular season games

1878
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:24,200
Speaker 6: sometimes are just as tight and as exciting and as

1879
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 6: close to the vest as a postseason game. Like the

1880
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:31,679
Speaker 6: NFL product from regular season to postseason. To me, there's

1881
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 6: not that big of a difference in the gap of

1882
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 6: the intensity level because of how important each regular season

1883
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:42,280
Speaker 6: game is, whereas in the NBA you're almost playing a

1884
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 6: different sport in the postseason. And it's even more so

1885
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 6: when it's a Game seven, Like almost it's like one

1886
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,679
Speaker 6: of those prize fights where you don't want to make

1887
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 6: the first mistake and get knocked out. Because in the

1888
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 6: NBA it's such a game of runs ten, fifteen to

1889
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 6: oho in one direction could.

1890
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 1: Just completely alter the course of the game.

1891
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 6: And I do think the NBA that is the big

1892
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 6: problem they have in the regular season. But let's be honest,

1893
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 6: in the postseason, it's like the opposite. So it's almost

1894
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 6: like you put up with it during the regular season,

1895
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 6: like you deal with those miserable winters, like like I

1896
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 6: used to do in Northern Michigan because I knew that

1897
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 6: in June, July and August the Upper Peninsula was an

1898
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:22,799
Speaker 6: absolute tree.

1899
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: You deal with it, right, But in the NFL we

1900
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with it.

1901
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 6: The regular season product, I think is just as good

1902
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 6: as the postseason product.

1903
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: But in the NBA there's a big gap there.

1904
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I'll just put a ball on

1905
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:38,200
Speaker 4: it by saying this, I wish I wasn't surprise watching

1906
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 4: the NBA postseason when there's a really great game, you know,

1907
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 4: I wish it didn't like stick out in my mind,

1908
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 4: like which game during the Warriors Lakers series, for example,

1909
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 4: that I really really like there was only one game

1910
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:53,639
Speaker 4: where Ita was back and forth where I was like, oh,

1911
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 4: that was incredible. Lebron's defense a D steph. The comeback,

1912
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 4: you know they lost it at the end, amazing. You know,

1913
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,760
Speaker 4: we pointed to two games during Celtic Sixers that we've

1914
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 4: been really, really moved by. We should be moved by

1915
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 4: all of these games, like we shouldn't.

1916
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 2: We should like that.

1917
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 4: The expectations have gotten so low for the NBA that

1918
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 4: it's actually surprising when you see the product promised in

1919
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 4: the NFL. It pays almost every single week. College football

1920
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:24,480
Speaker 4: every single week. Yeah, if you look at the NFL postseason,

1921
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 4: the college football postseason, every single game, you know, I mean, look,

1922
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 4: there are blowouts. I mean Tco. You know they got

1923
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 4: their doors blown off, and that's gonna happen. But it

1924
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 4: wasn't for lack of effort or trying. It wasn't because

1925
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:37,919
Speaker 4: they started pressing quarters.

1926
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 6: I think both of the semifinals were showstoppers.

1927
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 2: Oh they're dynamite.

1928
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:45,679
Speaker 4: I mean that's so, that's I guess that's the gripe

1929
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 4: is just I wish I wasn't so surprised when I

1930
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 4: actually see a great postseason game in the NFBA.

1955
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 3: how about this? Interested in owning a steak in the Raiders.

1956
01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 3: He's interested in being a limited partner, you know, partial

1957
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 3: owner of the Raiders and of course all the jokes.

1958
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 3: So he already owns the Raiders, right, we know the tuck. Yeah,

1959
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 3: but ching like you get it, Yeah, we get it.

1960
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 3: But you mentioned this a little bit earlier in the

1961
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 3: show Rich. You know, it's like he hasn't quite closed

1962
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 3: the door on retirement. It's a little bit like Gronk.

1963
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 3: I would compare Brady this season twenty twenty three to Gronk,

1964
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 3: where there are some people that thought, hey man, a

1965
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, Gronk's not done, He's coming back, right,

1966
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 3: And no, he didn't come back. I think it'll play

1967
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 3: out the same way for Brady. There are some that

1968
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 3: will say, you know, there's a chance if there's an

1969
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 3: injury here or something goes out with.

1970
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 4: Maybe, but I think he's done. What do you guys

1971
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 4: say about that?

1972
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 2: Look? I think there.

1973
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 4: I think there's a strong pull, a strong compulsion for

1974
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 4: not only Brady to play this sport, but also to

1975
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 4: to finish this story the right way. I just don't

1976
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 4: think the stories ended. Look, he's he's very social media savvy.

1977
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 4: He is a very aware of his importance to this game.

1978
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 4: He's very aware of his of his stature, you know

1979
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, especially since leaving New England, as

1980
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:37,600
Speaker 4: we've gotten to know him more publicly as as a

1981
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 4: public person, I think I think it was very private,

1982
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 4: not reclusive, but private before when I was playing in

1983
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,679
Speaker 4: New England. I remember we couldn't really go out anywhere

1984
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 4: with Tom because he would get kind of harassed by people.

1985
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 4: So when the offensive line and Tom hung out together,

1986
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 4: we it was usually in like a hotel boardroom where

1987
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 4: he ordered in dinner for all of us on the

1988
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 4: road or something like that.

1989
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 2: You know, because he is.

1990
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 4: Such a celebrity and such a star, and that's that's

1991
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,760
Speaker 4: only climbed in terms of like Q raiting and like

1992
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 4: visibility since he's gotten out of New England. So this retirement,

1993
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 4: this second retirement where he just cuts a selfie video

1994
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 4: you know about yeah, forty seven seconds long as yeah

1995
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 4: on the beach of my hend. I'm like, there's no

1996
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 4: way that's it. There's no way that's how this story ends.

1997
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 4: He's just too aware of the moment for that to

1998
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 4: really be where this story ends. So I think if

1999
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 4: this deal gets done, if he ends up becoming a

2000
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,439
Speaker 4: minority owner of the Raiders, this is going to be

2001
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:42,920
Speaker 4: a great coup for Mark Davis to be able to

2002
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:46,800
Speaker 4: keep his salary cap low and give Tom Brady a

2003
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:51,520
Speaker 4: huge taste of the prizes, you know, reap the rewards

2004
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:55,680
Speaker 4: of owning a team, and they're gonna be able to

2005
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,879
Speaker 4: build a monster around him, whether it be in trading

2006
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 4: for a player they need, you know, to make a

2007
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:05,240
Speaker 4: real legitimate run. Because the Raiders have a pretty good squad.

2008
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 4: Tom Brady's still a pretty damn good quarterback. And you know,

2009
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 4: he's worked before with Dave Ziegler, with with their head

2010
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 4: coach Josh McDaniels. He's he's been in the same quarterback

2011
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 4: room as Jimmy Garoppolo in the past. He's he's worked

2012
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 4: with a lot of players that this this crew that

2013
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 4: McDaniels and Ziegler has brought in. They a lot of

2014
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 4: former Patriots who have played with Tom Brady over the

2015
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 4: years are on that team currently.

2016
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 2: So I feel like it it's a.

2017
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 4: Very distinct possibility in my mind that he plays some

2018
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 4: football this season.

2019
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 6: Are there rules against owning a team and playing at

2020
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:40,719
Speaker 6: the same time.

2021
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:43,679
Speaker 4: I not if you are playing for the same team

2022
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 4: you own, because if you think about it, this is

2023
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:49,759
Speaker 4: the conversation around Patrick Mahomes contractor restructuring when he signed

2024
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:52,880
Speaker 4: again the contract. Essentially they're like, are they gonna give

2025
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 4: him a piece of the team? Like you know, like

2026
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 4: as well, there's no conflict of interest if you're playing

2027
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 4: for the team that you your own part of got

2028
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,880
Speaker 4: to be approved by the other like yeah, And that.

2029
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 6: Would be an interesting vote, right, Like going around the

2030
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 6: room with the Jerry Joneses of the world and the

2031
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 6: Robert Crafts of the.

2032
01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 2: World load thumbs down.

2033
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 11: Can you imagine the look on Robert Kraft's face if

2034
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 11: he had to vote on whether or not to allow

2035
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:27,599
Speaker 11: Tom Brady to play having an ownership stake in the Raiders,

2036
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 11: that I would be.

2037
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:31,600
Speaker 1: I would kill for a fly on the wall, to

2038
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 1: be a fly on the wall in that room.

2039
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 6: If you are asking me right now today, on May thirteenth,

2040
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, year of our Lord, and is Tom

2041
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 6: Brady going to return to play in the NFL, I

2042
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 6: think my answer would be no, I do, and I

2043
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 6: agree with your take on it is a weird ending

2044
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 6: for a storybook career. If I was writing the story

2045
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,120
Speaker 6: I would have likely walked off into the sunset after

2046
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 6: beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl,

2047
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 6: just like John Elway did, just like Peyton Manning did,

2048
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,600
Speaker 6: And I think that would have been my choice. I

2049
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 6: think Tom has that competitive spirit in him that does

2050
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 6: not quit, and he probably, you know, overstate his welcome

2051
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,920
Speaker 6: in Tampa one year too long. I'm not gonna knock

2052
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 6: him for that, because I understand when you feel like

2053
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 6: you can win, it's more than just you.

2054
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: The other elements of the NFL.

2055
01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 6: The team has to also play well, and the Bucks

2056
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 6: team just wasn't quite up to snub. But I just

2057
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,839
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's what's in the best interest

2058
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 6: of Tom long term to come back at age what

2059
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 6: forty five, forty six and do another go around with

2060
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 6: a team. If it goes poorly, I think the risk

2061
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,800
Speaker 6: of ruin is higher than it going well and you

2062
01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 6: having this storybook second chance, like right, like, I see

2063
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 6: more scenarios where it goes really bad than it going

2064
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:06,640
Speaker 6: really well.

2065
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 3: I think that what's interesting about some of the competitive

2066
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 3: maniacs out there is the storybook ending isn't storybook for them?

2067
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 3: Where if you think about Michael Jordan ninety eight, hits

2068
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,599
Speaker 3: the shot on Brian Russell and could have walked off

2069
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 3: into the sunset. But I think a guy like him

2070
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 3: would have wrestled with what might have happened, and then

2071
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 3: he goes with the Wizards. Doesn't work out great, But

2072
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,120
Speaker 3: I think he would have wrestled with Man. What could

2073
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 3: have happened? Right, what could have happened? What was I

2074
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 3: capable of? For Brady? A lot of people thought, hey,

2075
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,360
Speaker 3: either right off into the sunset after winning a Super

2076
01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 3: Bowl with Tampa or the next year where they had

2077
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 3: this huge comeback against the Rams, come up a little

2078
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 3: bit short, but yeah, you know, a valiant effort, maybe

2079
01:45:50,520 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 3: you walk away there. I think Brady would have wrestled

2080
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 3: with Man. How would twenty twenty two have gone? You know,

2081
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 3: it turned out to be a disaster. They were eight

2082
01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:00,800
Speaker 3: to nine one and done lost to the Cowboy. But

2083
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 3: for the competitive MANIAX, I don't I don't know that

2084
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 3: the storybook ending really works for them if they still

2085
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 3: have some gas in the tank and they're just like,

2086
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 3: what would have happened? And that's why I think if

2087
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 3: Brady truly is done. I think this year is going

2088
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,880
Speaker 3: to be rough because you talk about one of the

2089
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 3: best competitors' sports have ever known, and that thought of

2090
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,479
Speaker 3: I still have some gas in the tank? What could

2091
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 3: I be doing right now? What am I?

2092
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 6: People was done after that super like he was absolutely

2093
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 6: noodle arm like he could not play anymore where Tom

2094
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:35,440
Speaker 6: I guess still probably thinks he can.

2095
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 4: And that's the thing is in that position.

2096
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 3: Also, this isn't like Gronk playing tight end or it's

2097
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 3: a high impact position. He's playing NFL quarterback with the

2098
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 3: rules being what they are at present day. So I

2099
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 3: think that makes it even tougher if he truly is

2100
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:55,519
Speaker 3: walking away because you see it, or is he on

2101
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 3: stage and they asked him a question about coming back

2102
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 3: and well, I've got friends with the Dolphins. That wasn't No,

2103
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,679
Speaker 3: I'm done, I'm walking away. He's having a hard time

2104
01:47:04,720 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 3: even saying that. So if he truly is done, man,

2105
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,679
Speaker 3: I think twenty twenty three is gonna be a long

2106
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:10,479
Speaker 3: year for him.

2107
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 4: I I just that's that's exactly what I mean. Like

2108
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 4: when when I was when I was retired, I knew

2109
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,799
Speaker 4: I was done, Guys, like I knew it my body

2110
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 4: had been through enough. You know, it's coming off of

2111
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,520
Speaker 4: back surgery. That was a long recovery. I had workouts

2112
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 4: and tryouts with teams trying to you know, get back

2113
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 4: into the league.

2114
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:32,479
Speaker 2: And had I done it.

2115
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 4: And played a seventh year, you know, who knows, maybe

2116
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:37,960
Speaker 4: I would have played ten years because I could very

2117
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 4: easily see you know, myself kind of getting bit by

2118
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 4: the bug again and maybe having a rere like a

2119
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 4: revamped joy and playing. But at that point in my life,

2120
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 4: I was just like, nah, my body's beat up. I'm

2121
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 4: finally starting to feel better. These teams are saying, no,

2122
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:59,559
Speaker 4: I think I'm done, and then I'm I think I'm

2123
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 4: done to into you know, I want to start losing weight.

2124
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 4: You know, I just had a kid. I was like,

2125
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 4: you know what, I want to just be a dad

2126
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 4: for a little bit and see what that's like.

2127
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 1: You know.

2128
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 4: I had other opportunities, maybe broadcasting. You know, It's just

2129
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 4: like my attention turned to other parts of my life

2130
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,800
Speaker 4: that I felt like needed more attention or or I

2131
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,799
Speaker 4: was just interested in starting to pursue.

2132
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 2: Tom Brady to me, has not moved on.

2133
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean he just had like I mean,

2134
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:30,960
Speaker 4: it was very easy for me to say to people

2135
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 4: that I'm done when I was talking about my retirement.

2136
01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 4: That conversation to me that he had at that financial

2137
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 4: forum in Miami, like you mentioned, Brian was the perfect

2138
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 4: example of somebody who's either waffling on the decision or

2139
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 4: has already made up his mind that he's not done.

2140
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 6: You know what's funny though, too, like the story that

2141
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 6: he's kind of waffling on the television deal. That does

2142
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,080
Speaker 6: give me like there's a little smoke there right with

2143
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:04,600
Speaker 6: Recker's fire, Like maybe there's something because I'm curious where that.

2144
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,799
Speaker 6: I mean, someone had to hear that from somewhere inside

2145
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 6: of Tom's circle for a story like that to get out.

2146
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 6: I don't know the details of it. I don't know

2147
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:13,680
Speaker 6: if the source is real or not. I don't know

2148
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 6: anything about that. But let's just live in a vacuum

2149
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:17,720
Speaker 6: for a second and say there is truth to that

2150
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 6: rumor that he is not one hundred percent sold on

2151
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 6: doing the television thing. That is a clue that might

2152
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 6: lead to maybe he still has some playing fire left

2153
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 6: in his belly. Again, I know that's putting several carts

2154
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 6: before the horse, but that would be at least one

2155
01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 6: domino that probably has to fall first, like, yeah, Tom's

2156
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 6: not really feeling the TV thing.

2157
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then it's like, okay, well, well then what

2158
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 1: is he gonna do?

2159
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 6: Because Tom Brady's not the kind of guy that's just

2160
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 6: gonna sit on his butt play golf and enjoy retirement, Like,

2161
01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 6: he still is a very active person in the in

2162
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 6: the football community. That might be the Oh well, maybe

2163
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 6: he has a he's a funny inkling that he might

2164
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:59,760
Speaker 6: want to play like right, Like, if that story does

2165
01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 6: have truth to it and it plays out that way,

2166
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 6: maybe that is something that I could buy into that

2167
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 6: he's not.

2168
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:09,200
Speaker 3: Fully finished, you know, speaking of buying into, if there

2169
01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 3: was stock the Loewen Krown stock blue chip, let's just

2170
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:17,719
Speaker 3: say I think crying as many shares as I possibly could,

2171
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 3: and I would urge everybody else to do the same thing.

2172
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 4: I low with the latest agree wholeheartedly.

2173
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 8: And for people out there, don't be frightened by the

2174
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:30,000
Speaker 8: fact that Loewen Kron rhymes with Enron.

2175
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 4: Anyway.

2176
01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 8: We start with Game six of the Western Conference Finals

2177
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 8: on Friday night, and all you had to know about

2178
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 8: what kind of night it was gonna wind up being

2179
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 8: was what happened just before the halftime.

2180
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 10: Buzzer might brain.

2181
01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 4: Take it away. It even chums up blocks final seconds range.

2182
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 4: It kind of a good.

2183
01:50:56,600 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 8: And when the second half buzzer sounded, the final score

2184
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 8: was the Los Ante Lakers won twenty two the Golden

2185
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:05,200
Speaker 8: State Warriors one to oh one. So the Lakers, who

2186
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 8: started the regular season two and ten, or the seventh

2187
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:11,639
Speaker 8: seed in the Western Conference, have now advanced to the

2188

Speaker 8: conference finals, where they will face Denver in Game six

2189
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 8: of the Eastern Conference semi Finals. On Friday night, the

2190
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 8: eighth seed in the East, the Miami Heat, defeated the

2191
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 8: New York Knicks ninety six to ninety two to take

2192
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:28,000
Speaker 8: that series four games to two. Miami to the Eastern

Speaker 8: Conference Finals for the third time in the last four

2194
01:51:30,720 --> 01:51:33,800
Speaker 8: years and the seventh time in the last thirteen years.

2195
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,639
Speaker 8: A memorable night for South Florida because in the Stanley

2196
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 8: Cup Playoffs on Friday night, the Panthers won at Toronto

2197
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 8: in overtime out of goal by Nick Cousins to win

2198
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:46,000
Speaker 8: the series four games to one. The Panthers advance to

2199
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:48,920
Speaker 8: the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since nineteen

2200
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 8: ninety six. Well in Game five with the West Semis,

2201
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 8: the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Edmonton Oilers four to three.

2202
01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:57,560
Speaker 8: Vegas leads that series three games to two. Finally, in

2203
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball on Friday Night, Brent Rooks three run

2204
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 8: home run at the bottom of the nine gave the

2205
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:05,639
Speaker 8: Oakland A's and nine to seven win over the Texas Rangers.

2206
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 8: Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman back to back home runs

2207
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:10,519
Speaker 8: in the bottom of the seventh inning to help the

2208
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:14,240
Speaker 8: Dodgers beat the Padres four to two. Fellas, all yours.

2209
01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:15,679
Speaker 2: Thank you, I low you the man.

2210
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Saturday right here on Fox Sports Radio. You

2211
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 3: know it's wild too. We're talking about the Tom Brady thing.

2212
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 3: Just so this is out there. If Brady does become

2213
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,640
Speaker 3: a limited partner, like you know, limited owner of the

2214
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders, it wouldn't necessarily prohibit him from going

2215
01:52:36,960 --> 01:52:39,120
Speaker 3: in with Fox that ten year, three hundred and seventy

2216
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:40,439
Speaker 3: five million dollar deal.

2217
01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 1: Double dip.

2218
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could double dip.

2219
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 3: It's just set up if he were the decision maker,

2220
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 3: you know, if he was running a media company or

2221
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,720
Speaker 3: owned a media company, he then couldn't also be a

2222
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 3: partial owner or a majority owner of a team because

2223
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 3: that could influence programming decisions, you know what I mean,

2224
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 3: So that wouldn't be the case. He doesn't own Fox Sports.

2225
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 3: Maybe well at some point who knows that, don't put

2226
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 3: it fast up. Yeah right, but as of right now,

2227
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 3: it wouldn't prevent him should he decide to honor that

2228
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 3: Fox deal. It wouldn't prevent him if he does become

2229
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:19,080
Speaker 3: a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Isn't that

2230
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 3: crazy where he's got three hundred and seventy five million

2231
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:26,519
Speaker 3: dollars over ten years to do TV and we're not

2232
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:29,640
Speaker 3: quite sure it's gonna happen to have those type of

2233
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:30,759
Speaker 3: options in life.

2234
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:32,639
Speaker 2: Good for him, that's all I can say.

2235
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: Good.

2236
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a bad.

2237
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 4: Life if he can hack it, and he can, you know,

2238
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 4: and and you know what the interesting thing about options

2239
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 4: are when you have too many of them there, it's

2240
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 4: harder to make a decision.

2241
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:45,799
Speaker 1: Yep.

2242
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,160
Speaker 4: And they've actually studied this. I might have even brought

2243
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 4: this up on the show before, but they've done actual

2244
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:54,679
Speaker 4: studies like shutting down a grocery store where they take

2245
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 4: a control group that only has, say, you know, the

2246
01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 4: normal number of jams or jelly to choose from you

2247
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 4: got your grape jelly, your strawberry jelly, your orange marina,

2248
01:54:04,479 --> 01:54:06,960
Speaker 4: your marmalade, and you know, go in there.

2249
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:10,600
Speaker 2: People walk from the almost sports studio percent.

2250
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 4: Of the time walked out with a with a jelly

2251
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 4: or jam. But then they would they would put an

2252
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 4: experimental group into the same store, but they would have

2253
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:26,000
Speaker 4: twenty six different options, and there was like a significant

2254
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:29,519
Speaker 4: portion of the experimental group who would look at each

2255
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:31,680
Speaker 4: of these jars and they'd hem and they hats like,

2256
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 4: oh do I want BlackBerry raspberry preserves or do I

2257
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:39,760
Speaker 4: want the exotic guava jam? And they just walked out

2258
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 4: of there without making a decision.

2259
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 2: You know.

2260
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 4: So you know Tom Brady right now, the world's his oyster.

2261
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 4: You know, He's got all these choices he can make.

2262
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:51,000
Speaker 4: He could be a broadcaster, he could be a movie producer,

2263
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 4: he could be a TV star, he could build out

2264
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 4: a reality show, he could he could do whatever he wants.

2265
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 4: And you know what, nobody's gonna say no to Tom

2266
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 4: Brady because everybody wants to work with Tom Brady. So

2267
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 4: you know what the easiest thing to do is to

2268
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 4: do exactly what you've always done, which is play football.

2269
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 2: That's the easiest.

2270
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 4: Decision he can make because he knows it. He's comfortable

2271
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 4: if he goes and he plays for the team that

2272
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 4: he may end up being a co owner with the Raiders,

2273
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 4: he's gonna have familiar faces like Josh McDaniels and Jimmy

2274
01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 4: Garoppolo and some of his other old teammates. Oh yeah, yeah,

2275
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 4: I mean it's that is the easiest decision to make,

2276
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 4: and that's the reason why I feel like he'll probably

2277
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 4: make it if this deal goes through.

2278
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 2: Rich.

2279
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 1: That experiment you're describing in the gambling world is called

2280
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 1: analysis paralysis. There you go. Yeah, And I'm guilty of

2281
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:40,160
Speaker 1: this all the time.

2282
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 6: I mean, and it's something that I struggle with because

2283
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 6: there's so much information available to us, and we feel

2284
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 6: like we are missing that key little strand that's gonna

2285
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 6: give us the edge, And sometimes we look so hard

2286
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 6: for the right answer when in reality, it's just the

2287
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:01,280
Speaker 6: simplest one that's staring us right in the face. And

2288
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 6: you just said it, it's just, hey, Tom, what do

2289
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:04,920
Speaker 6: you do best?

2290
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,200
Speaker 1: Play football? All right? Makes sense to me.

2291
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:10,880
Speaker 3: You mentioned that on the group text, Jared, Like, maybe

2292
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,160
Speaker 3: it's as simple as the warrior stink on the road

2293
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 3: and you fade them when they're.

2294
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 2: On the road.

2295
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,520
Speaker 1: And if you did that, you did pretty well the

2296
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: last few days.

2297
01:56:18,280 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 2: Right, that's absolutely did great.

2298
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, last two games undefeated.

2299
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely all Right. We've got Rich Orenberger. He's a Penn

2300
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 3: State All American. That guy over there, that rascal you

2301
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 3: know when you were looking left, he was a Penn

2302
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 3: State All America All American. Looking right, We've got Jared

Speaker 6: Bud, Well, how about the XFL Championship later tonight. I'll

2356
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 6: take the DC Defenders like six and a half. They've

2357
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:48,880
Speaker 6: been the best team in the league all year. I

2358
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 6: think they close it to DC. You're getting a football championship,

2359
01:59:52,080 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 6: not the Commanders though, the Defenders, and we I promised

2360
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 6: you some Game seven trends. So the home team is

2361
01:59:59,200 --> 02:00:03,360
Speaker 6: thirty five nineteen in Game seven, NBA Game sevens since

2362
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 6: two thousand and five, but.

2363
02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Just one in five in the last six. So that's

2364
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 1: interesting there.

2365
02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 6: But the unders, guys, you gotta bet the under in

2366
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:13,560
Speaker 6: this game twenty three and nine. The under in NBA

2367
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:16,720
Speaker 6: Game sevens later than the first round overall, if you

2368
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:18,600
Speaker 6: take the first round two thirty six and twenty two.

2369
02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:19,840
Speaker 1: So it's a low total.

2370
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 6: They adjusted it down, but I think under in the

2371
02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 6: game seven tomorrow, Celtics sixers pretty decent.

2372
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 4: Look all right, I'm gonna take another MLB total. It's

2373
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 4: eight and a half tonight in terms of total runs

2374
02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:35,920
Speaker 4: between the Dodgers and the Padres. You got Joe Musgrove

2375
02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 4: on the mound for the Padres. His last start was

2376
02:00:39,080 --> 02:00:42,680
Speaker 4: against the Dodgers last weekend, where he went five innings

2377
02:00:42,680 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 4: of runless ball.

2378
02:00:44,120 --> 02:00:45,280
Speaker 2: He's been pitching well.

2379
02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:50,120
Speaker 4: The Padres have not been hitting runners in scoring position

2380
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 4: last in the MLB, So take the under here.

2381
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:55,200
Speaker 2: At eight and a half total runs.

2382
02:00:55,560 --> 02:00:58,760
Speaker 3: You know what, I just want to double down on

2383
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 3: what you're going with, Jira. The under of Game seven

2384
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 3: tomorrow seventy six Ers Celtics.

2385
02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:06,040
Speaker 4: I go back.

2386
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:09,000
Speaker 3: We just saw Game six was ninety five eighty six.

2387
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:12,640
Speaker 3: Some of these games turned into rock fights. Think about

2388
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:17,040
Speaker 3: remember when the seventy three win Warriors lost to the Calves.

2389
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:19,560
Speaker 4: That was ninety three to eighty nine.

2390
02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 3: You know I can be a game rock fighting. Yeah,

2391
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 3: I think rock fights? Did he take the under? Hey,

2392
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:26,840
Speaker 3: enjoy your day, Happy Mother's Day.
