He 121 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: was separate. Thanks there you going. 122 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: He had a cigarette, he was getting ready to performed. 123 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: And of course, uh saga. It is our social media guru. 124 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: That's just crazy. I'm so glad hr is gone crazy. 125 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: Otherwise we'd be in trouble already. We'd be written up. 126 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: All right, hey, rob game. 127 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 4: Oh, we have a national game tonight NBA game and 128 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: it involves a player who I'm very fond of and has, 129 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: you know, a lot of good things to say about, 130 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 4: but he's on a minutes restriction. 131 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: Again, here we go. This is what we talked about 132 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: the longevity of a Wemby. 133 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a big game tonight, Lakers, Spurs, National 134 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 6: Television ESPN. They paid big money to get the big 135 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 6: games on TV. And the problem though, is that, as 136 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 6: you alluded to, Victor win, Benyama is already questionable for 137 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 6: tonight's game because he couldn't even finish last night's game, 138 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 6: a game they could have won against Memphis. They lose 139 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 6: by one point because he was on a strict minutes 140 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 6: restriction and he dominated in twenty one minutes, but he 141 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 6: missed crunch time. The Spurs lose, and now he's questionable 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 6: to play tonight against the Lakers back to back game 143 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 6: because he's now dealing with what they're calling a hyper 144 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 6: extended knee recovery. 145 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: So we'll see what's up with that. 146 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: And that's what makes this crazy, is that what makes 147 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: him who we think he is, what makes him the unicorn. 148 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: His gift is also his curse, and me and rob 149 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: To talked about it. His gift is that we've never 150 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: seen someone this tall, this big, be this mobile, this agile, 151 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: this talented, this hungry and want to win. But it's 152 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the same challenge why people are worried, where people are skeptical. 153 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: And you and I talked about it. I want to 154 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: say last year, just how far can he go? How 155 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: long will he be able to play with this body, 156 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: with this bill? You and I were watching the game 157 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: yesterday off the air. I said, man, look at the 158 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: way he falls. Normal bumps and falls in the NBA 159 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: happens thirty five times a game. His looks bad, it 160 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: looks challenging because he's how he has to fall, being 161 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 1: so big. 162 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: So that's what makes this interesting. And you look at 163 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: the team. 164 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: He's playing for a team, a very conservative the team 165 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: who started to load management with the Spurs, and for 166 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: them to be having the load management. 167 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: Pop should be known for, not the five championship. Don't 168 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: do that. I'm serious. How you going to now? We 169 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: almost now I gotta argue with you, what never mind? 170 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Put me to decide, noy no. But he's on a 171 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: team that's already conservative.

Rob 397 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: and I are concerned. We just don't see it happening, 398 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: and not what he's already being hurt like this early 399 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: Clod's injuries. It's just challenging. We might miss out on 400 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: the special talent that week. We're hoping, we're hoping, We're hope. 401 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: We made a song for him. 402 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: You know that we did a remix. Now we might 403 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: have to do a remax, a remixer sometimes. 404 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: A right, that's right, Jordans in d c Jordan couple 405 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio. 406 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 2: What's up, Jordan, Hey, Ron Cavin, how you guys doing. 407 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 8: Oh, yes, that's awesome to hear well to answer you 408 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 8: a question. Unfortunately, due to his lack of durability so 409 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 8: young in his career, I don't think Winby is going 410 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 8: to be able to reach the absolute apex of like 411 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 8: what we thought his potential. And that's the reason why 412 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 8: I think it's so important right now for the Spurs. 413 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 8: If you can get a Yiannis without having to give 414 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 8: up Castle and Dylan Harper, like I think you got 415 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 8: to do it because Winby isn't the young star that 416 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 8: Kate Cunningham miss for the Pistons or Anthony Edwards is 417 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 8: for the Timberwolves. Where he's he's he's durable and you 418 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 8: can slowly build like. 419 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 1: If it's just a history of guys that size just 420 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: works against him. 421 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: It's just I mean, it's just history. 422 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 4: No one, everybody's different, but all those guys, they even 423 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 4: have ankle problems for problems, you know what I mean? 424 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: Uh, problems is always something. 425 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, But let me ask you guys a question before 426 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 8: I go. If because Kelvin I heard you mentioned, I'm joeling, 427 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 8: be suppose Winby has a career where it's all of 428 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 8: MB's accolades, so like a couple of scoring titles, maybe 429 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 8: an MVP. But but but give him one championship. Is 430 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 8: that a disappointment for Winby's career, but give him. 431 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: A champion No, he was just saying add that to it, 432 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: I think sadly, yes, yes, sadly yes, because we all 433 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: see I mean, look at what he did even last night. 434 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: Look what he does in limited minutes twenty one minutes. 435 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: And it's not just the points with thirty points, block shots, 436 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: how many shots. 437 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: I'll give you. 438 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 4: I'll give you an example of somebody who when he plays, 439 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 4: his numbers are through the roof, Zion Williamson. Go look 440 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 4: at his number efficiencies when he plays. He didn't play enough, 441 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 4: he doesn't impact winning enough. 442 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 2: But his numbers and That's why I win, you know 443 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like, like you, there's gotta be more. 444 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: You will look back at Zion and he'll be down 445 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: like as a bust if he continues to get hurt. Yeah, 446 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: like that's what he'll be looked at because he was 447 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: so good and there was the sky was the limit limit, right. 448 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: I just think in that. 449 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 4: Case, and Whenby was supposed to be a unicorn, something 450 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: we never saw different. It would be like Otani coming 451 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 4: to the United States and batting two forty and with 452 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 4: thirteen home runs, you know. 453 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 2: What I mean. 454 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, he was supposed to be better than that. Well, 455 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's the thing though, Whenby is it 456 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: not living up to it? When he plays he's all 457 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: that and some it's just when does he play? And 458 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: therein lies the challenge so well, of course I have 459 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: to keep waiting and see.

They're playing 488 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: within the rules. Don't get me wrong, But to compare 489 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: this to like, oh, the old Indiana wasn't even involved 490 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 4: in the wasn't. 491 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: A football school. 492 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: When you're paying your quarterback two million and your coaching 493 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: staff twenty million, and Mark Cuban is writing big checks 494 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: and they're paying people, they should be competing. 495 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 2: What am I missing? 496 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 7: Well, what you're missing is a few things. One, everybody 497 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 7: in the Big Ten has money, so they're not I 498 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 7: would you know, they are spending what they need to 499 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 7: to be competitive, but there are a lot of teams 500 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 7: that spent a lot more money that had a lot 501 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 7: of a lot less on the field. 502 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: They're top ten, though aaron top ten in money spent. 503 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 2: Why shouldn't they be in the college football playoffs? 504 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 7: Well, the other thing that I was going to say, 505 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 7: as far as bost their way to the top, I 506 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 7: would fundamentally disagree with that. And I'll tell you why. 507 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 7: Elijah Surat, who's their best receiver, was a no star 508 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 7: recruit who began his career with Kurtzignetti at James Madison. 509 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 7: D'Angelo Ponds who shut down Jeremiah Smith and you know 510 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 7: in the Big Ten Championship game and whoever on Alabama 511 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 7: and the Rose Bowl is a player who started his 512 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 7: career at James Madison. So you know what I think 513 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 7: it is is, besides the greatest turnaround in the history 514 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 7: of college football, besides one of the great stories in 515 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 7: the history of college football, what I think Kurtzignetti actually 516 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,239 Speaker 7: isn't getting enough credit for is his talent identification and 517 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 7: his talent development. I mean, even Mendoza, you could say 518 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 7: whatever you want about how much he's getting paid. Rob, 519 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 7: I would love for you to find me the mock 520 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 7: draft in August that had him as the number one, 521 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 7: number two one. 522 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: Okay, here it is. You're very nice. Okay, that's good. 523 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: So a guy who wasn't on the mock draft, wasn't 524 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: anywhere around, he gets paying him two million dollars. Why 525 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: is he not making three hundred thousand because nobody knew 526 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: who he was and he wasn't Holly Tawdon. He's making 527 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: two million dollars because they knew what they have because 528 00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: he's a really, really good player. 529 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: The scouts thoughts so or not. 530 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: And my only issue is it can't be the greatest 531 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: turnaround when they're one of the big boys. 532 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: Indiana is one of. 533 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: The big Indiana's one of the big boys. Why Miami 534 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: turning around all of a sudden Why. All I'm saying 535 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: is you're the sexist that with hars Manning and all 536 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: that money in the facility, you can spend a lot 537 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: of money doesn't automatically mean you you're gonna win. And 538 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: that's why I'm rooting against Indiana. But but I'm si 539 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: years he turned around a program did nothing for one 540 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: hundred years. But I'm saying, all right, Aaron, the Mets 541 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: spent the most money in baseball last year. They don't 542 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: even make the playoffs. Nobody would have heard about baseball 543 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: right now. 544 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 4: But all I'm saying is they when you have spent 545 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 4: the money. If you told me they were in the 546 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 4: bottom fifty of money spent and they were where they are, 547 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 4: I'm all with you. 548 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 3: I'm in. 549 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: I'm all into the show. This team is a have 550 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: not a have not, Aaron. 551 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 7: But we'll all jump in and say, really quick, is 552 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 7: you know the Mets are a great example of even 553 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 7: if you have the money, you saw up to allocate 554 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 7: it appropriately. But I do understand your point that if 555 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 7: if if the money is being spent, they can't be 556 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 7: an underdog. I would just disagree. I okay, we have 557 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 7: one hundred year track record you know, we have a hundred. 558 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: They spent money in those hundred years. That's the difference 559 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: they did. 560 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 7: But I think, I think to Kelvin's point though, I mean, dude, listen, 561 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 7: you're mister Detroit. How much money did Michigan spend on 562 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 7: that roster to go nine to three and get boat 563 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 7: raced by Ohio State? So you know, you know, I 564 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 7: still think it's the greatest turnaround I've ever seen. And 565 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 7: you could sit there and say, well, you know, anyone 566 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 7: can do it in this era, no one else is 567 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 7: doing it. And as a matter of fact, it's the 568 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 7: exact opposite what we saw in the Rose Bowl of 569 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 7: Kalin de borr inherited the most talented roster in college 570 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 7: football and had back to back four window. 571 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean automatically you're going to win, but they're 572 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: in the mix because they have the talent. They have 573 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: a twenty million dollar questioning Steff Right, Indiana James. 574 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: Madison students, this ain't a law this ain't a law school. 575 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 2: Look at their payroll. If you told me more, Cuban 576 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: didn't give the school a dime. 577 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,719 Speaker 1: Well into phil into chazillion dollars every year in Oregon, 578 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to do that we want. We agreed 579 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: here will he and I will argue about this later. 580 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Let me go here with you, Aaron Washington. Of course 581 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: they're looking at pursue legal avenues when it comes to 582 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: their quarterback, Demon Williams, who said. 583 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: He was good. 584 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: It was good on sand from or something. He was 585 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: he had a good Yeah. I can't believe he's still 586 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: in college. I can't believe in college after all these years. 587 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: The transport that COVID year, right, that COVID year got 588 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: kids going crazy. Now, but let me ask you this. 589 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: So he said he resigns with them and he's gonna 590 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: stay there. Then he puts on social media that he's 591 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: getting ready to go into transportal. Now it's all legalities 592 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: and all that. 593 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: What do you make it? 594 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: Just a story in general, and then the larger conversation 595 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: about the transfer portal and how it's just kind of 596 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: changed the game in my opinion, not often in a 597 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: positive way. 598 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of layers to it. I'll try 599 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 7: to be as as quick as I can, you know, listen, 600 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 7: So there's so many layers to it. So look with 601 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 7: the portal, if you don't want to tran or if 602 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 7: you are considering transfer, just don't sign a legally binding document. 603 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 7: And you know, and I know, and this is kind 604 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 7: of boring semantics, but you know, they're not employees, and 605 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 7: it's like you're still signing a legally binding contract, a 606 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 7: services render contract that you're going to provide services to 607 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 7: the university and they're going to pay you in return. 608 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 7: And so listen. The thing that I've learned is if 609 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 7: this kid wants to play somewhere else, I believe he 610 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 7: will be playing somewhere else in college football next year. 611 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 7: But I would also argue, to your point, Calvin, if 612 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 7: you hate where this thing either is or continues to go, 613 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 7: you should be on team Washington here of saying, maybe 614 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 7: there is no way legally to keep him off the 615 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 7: field wherever he wants to go, but they should be 616 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 7: fighting a tooth and nail, because it's one thing to 617 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 7: have every single player be a free agent every single year, 618 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 7: but it's another thing to have a player be a 619 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 7: free agent, sign a binding contract and then just say 620 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 7: it doesn't matter and so we'll see what happens. I 621 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 7: would largely just say, you know, these kids don't want 622 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 7: to be paid like professionals. They've earned the right to 623 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 7: be paid for the product on the field, but they 624 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 7: need to be treated like professionals too. And this is 625 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 7: one where I hope there's a play that Washington wins 626 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 7: this whatever they deem to be a win. But I 627 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 7: also know, having covered college sports laws, I have somebody's 628 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 7: going to find a way around this to get him 629 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 7: on the field in twenty twenty six. 630 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 4: But I also read and I wish I could find 631 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 4: where I was on it was a college football writer, 632 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: and maybe you can help me. They have language in 633 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 4: some of these contracts where the schools can avoid out 634 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 4: the contract at any time, under any circumstance if they 635 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 4: want to. So here's my point. It can't be just 636 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 4: one sided that if a school wants to get off 637 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 4: of a kid right and not pay for whatever reason. 638 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 4: And you know this goes with scholarships. 639 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Everybody think you get a full ride, They got a 640 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: four year Rio scholarship. 641 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 642 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 4: If Tom Mizzell decides he don't want you no more 643 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 4: to want you on a team, they'll either try to 644 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: get you to quit or make it so bad that 645 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 4: you will quit, you know what I mean. So that's 646 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 4: all my only My only issue is it can't be 647 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 4: one sided. 648 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 7: No, I agree, And I'll just be quick on this 649 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 7: is I will say it's the advent of the nil era. 650 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 7: Even just three four years ago, you used to hear 651 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 7: all sorts of horror stories like that. I think most players, 652 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 7: you know, because you had a friend reading it over, 653 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 7: a family friend whatever, and you know Truck apparently. I've 654 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 7: had people reach out to me like have you heard 655 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 7: of this? Have you heard that? I'm like, get a 656 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 7: real lawyer. And so your point, Rob, I think most 657 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 7: of these athletes now, especially the high profile ones, have 658 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 7: real representation. When I say that, people that have been 659 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 7: part of this, that have negotiated contracts, things of that nature. 660 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 7: So you know, that's something that an agent should be 661 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 7: flagging right away and saying, don't sign that. And so 662 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 7: you know, I don't know if that applied to the 663 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 7: mont Williams specifically, but I would hope that you know, 664 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 7: you're paying an agent of commission, you're paying an agent 665 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 7: a fee. I hope that they would flag that right away, 666 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 7: because I agree it's nonsense. You know, the contract's got 667 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 7: to work both ways, and that's what you have an 668 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 7: agent for. 669 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: Hey, Aaron of course, Erin Torres is on with the 670 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: odd couple of Fox Sports Radio Weekend host host of 671 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: the Aeron Tooris podcast. Let's look real quick some of 672 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: these games we can expect. Tomorrow you got the uh 673 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: Rebowl Fest Fiesta Bowl, you got Miami versus Old Miss, 674 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: and then on Friday you got the Chick fil A 675 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: Peach Bowl, Indiana verse number five Oregon. Just just a 676 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: couple of those. What are you expecting out of those 677 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: two games? 678 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Miami has been unbelievable. The one thing 679 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 7: I will say the offense, and they played two great defenses, 680 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 7: but the offense really, especially the passing game, really hasn't 681 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 7: been all that effective. And I look at Old Miss. 682 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 7: They can just put points on you so quick that 683 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 7: I know Ole Miss is actually the underdog. I actually 684 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 7: do like them to win. Most of those players, the 685 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 7: important players have basically said like, we're not following link Kiffon, 686 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 7: We're committed to this school, We're committed to this team. 687 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 7: And it feels like this run has really rallied them. 688 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 7: And then the second game, you know, Rob Parkers feel 689 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 7: good Indiana Hoosiers. I will just say that, you know, 690 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 7: I think when I look at Oregon, I think they're 691 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 7: actually kind of a year ahead of schedule. They had 692 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 7: Dylan Gabriel, the whole team was really built for last year. 693 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 7: I actually think they're a little bit ahead of schedule. 694 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 7: I think again to the point that Rob has brought 695 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 7: up Indiana as a veteran team and older team, fourth 696 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 7: to six year guys. I think they'll be good after 697 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 7: this year, but I think they're kind of built for 698 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 7: this year. They already won an Eugene, and I expect 699 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 7: them to win again on Friday night in Atlanta. 700 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: All Right, there you have it, Aaron Man.
