Speaker 4: would be great.

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: It would look good in the profile, and I think

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: i'd have more people kind of looking at me side.

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 4: I mean, look, going back to the whole.

28

00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: Now, well that's the beauty.

53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: this event already in progress, Like all right, let's go.

55
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 2: I mean, yesterday morning, I wake up, you know, and

56
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, sleep patterns are just still a

57
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: disaster for me. I've always had issues, but I wake

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: up really early. I'm like, oh, let's hey, we got rugby,

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: So we got the Rugby seven's going on France and Fiji,

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: and France pulls off a.

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 3: Bit at it. They went at it dominated.

62
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: But it's one of those things, Mike, all right, it

63
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: looks like rugby seven's is where we start our day,

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: right in between soccer and everything else going on. Watch

65
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: plenty of that. Back out to some Major League baseball.

66
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Fox had you Red Sox Yankees on, and that was

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: one of the more interesting games I've seen in recent memory.

68
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: Comebacks and craziness and guys running through stop signs at

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: third base looking at you want Soto. They got the win.

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: So it's all good. But yeah, it's just a veritable

71
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: smortgas board. But the thing is, since we only touch

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: a lot of these competitions every four years, ryan part

73
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: of you has to have the iPad or your phone

74
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: at the ready. All right, what are the rules of

75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: these competitions?

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

77
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: How do we score?

78
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: What?

79
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: What exactly can we do in these processes? So I

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: think that's been a fun part too, A lot of

81
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: learning in twenty four hours.

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: Hey man, I found myself trying to explain handball to

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 5: my son and I didn't I didn't know. I just

84
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: knew it wasn't our handball.

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: But like you're watching on polo, you're watching all these

86
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: different sports like I'm in, I don't know what's going on,

87
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: but I'm.

88
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 5: In, Hey, look, I saw a guy in handball get

89
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: get called for traveling and another guy took it.

90
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: I go, that's basketball.

91
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

92
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, You got a lot of

93
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: these games that you know they bridge and you see

94
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: the elements of and play structures like, yeah, I think

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: I clearly did this. My daughter's team, her soccer squad,

96
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: did take it back into the personal realm. A sect

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: they were playing a squad in a tournament a couple

98
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. They brought in a girl and she

99
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: was probably six to one, so my daughter's had a

100
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: definitive height disadvantage. Girl kept going to the low post

101
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: like she was playing basketball, so every time the ball

102
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: hit her foot, she tried to do the spin move.

103
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: Unfortunately it was not clean for her. Fortunate for us.

104
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: You know, daughter held her up long enough for someone

105
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: else to come over and sweep the ball away. But

106
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: you know that kind of thing you just watch, how

107
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: all right, how do I build a skill?

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: How do I apply it elsewhere?

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: And we're seeing that actually in the structure of a

110
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: bunch of these games, so it's highly entertaining. We got

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: China and Spain getting after women's basketball. Some bicycling, not

112
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: quite sure always uh, I see the Swedish kit a

113
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: little off road kind of thing going on. Yes, some

114
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: of these sports I don't I'll never figure out, you

115
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: know a question. I know Doug Gottleive's daughter rides and

116
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: the pageantry of the sport, love the beauty of the animals.

117
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't understand how points are scored, but that's okay.

118
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: I can be entertained and enjoy it for what it is.

119
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: It's a good It's good. It's a good point right there?

120
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: What how do they score points? Because or asking people

121
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: the rules of these games that.

122
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 5: They may not know. Listen, I don't know where I

123
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: where I land. That'll be a good, good question. We'd

124
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: have to. Now let me ask you this. Okay, hit

125
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: me your advice. Do I just watch all of the

126
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: different uh competition's going on?

127
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: Or should I.

128
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: Actually look up and go, hey at you know, three

129

00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 5: the stuff I want to watch?

133
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: Well?

Speaker 6: Well, as someone who's been the two Olympics in my life,

154
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,839

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 6: far as learning the sports, there are the Olympics. I

159
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 6: know they post the rules online for all of these things,

160
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 6: but if you ever go to one and just go

161
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 6: to an event, I can tell you from experience you

162
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: will always find some old, kindly European man who will

163
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: very happily explain the rules of his favorite niche sport

164
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: to you. If you go to like water polo or handball,

165
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 6: and I usually find that's a good experience.

166
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: If you can do.

167
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: That, get someone a frosty beverage and it'll be happy.

168
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Are you? It's all our executive producer. Is there a

169
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: sport you've gravitated to here? I know you're you're a

170
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: big Suns fan, so you're waiting on basketball a little

171
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: bit later. But what else you got?

172
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 7: So? I was actually watching rugby last night, so that

173
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 7: was actually really really entertaining. I think I should I

174
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 7: should pull up like the rule book because I was

175
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 7: kind of like, what is happening? But they were very attractive,

176
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 7: very attractive rugby players, so love it.

177
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: There you go.

178
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: All this. We can't ignore that.

179
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 6: No. Yeah, and by the way, shout out to you

180
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 6: want to talk about Mega mix and stuff. Shouts to

181
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 6: Scott Hanson and uh and sicili Yeah the old zone.

182
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: I feel like Scott Hanson has been going for this

183
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 6: role for his entire life.

184
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: He's perfectly made for this.

185
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 6: Just metal match after metal match after metal match, defencing

186
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 6: to boxing to judo to rugby, He's got it all there.

187
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: See, this is where it ties into those larger hey,

188
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: you know, people and events moving between networks and broadcast

189
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: agencies can actually be a great thing, right because both

190
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: Siciliano and Hanson haven't done the work they've done for

191
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: the NFL all these years. So a role I was

192
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: born to play to just come in, switch to the

193
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: you know, Red Zone channel, Fantasy Zone, all that stuff.

194
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: It applies here. Uh yeah, Breanna brings up the big point.

195
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of folks are just coming in.

196
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, let's face it, eye candy. What was the

197
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: biggest topic that wasn't about Canadian drones and stealing signals?

198
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: It was all about whether nocturnal activities were gonna be

199
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: held up on the beds that they gave them, right, So, Ryan,

200
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean that it cannot be ignored, and it makes

201
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: me want to get back to the gym just a

202
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: little bit more.

203
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 6: I even saw that guy in the opening ceremony from

204
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 6: the past Olympics who had his shirt off for one

205
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 6: of the island countries. They were talking about is he

206
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: going to like they saw him again, and then they

207
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: were all disappointed on the opening seramony broadcast that he

208
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 6: kept his shirt on.

209
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well, because the other way it goes is,

210
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: you know, four years later, he's not looking quite the

211
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: same father, Tom gets us all, how about that?

212
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: What do you think? Ryan Hollins? No, was that a

213
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 4: veritable smortgage board for you? Right there?

214
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: It's just not going on.

215
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: I want to ask you guys this too. Am I

216
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 5: crazy to think? Or maybe there's a reason why I

217
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: just am not privy to it? Why not start American football?

218
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: Obviously there'd be probably only a few countries that would play,

219
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: right and let it grow?

220
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of it's starts to you know,

221
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: you got to do all the demonstration process right where

222
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: it gets introduced first, and that it eventually can become

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: a metal thing. Right, there's a lot of years at

224
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: some point where this happens. Baseball has been in and

225
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: out of the games, and there's a push to bring

226
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: it back again. We're talking about Oh, there was one

227
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: we were investigating.

228
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: A little bit the other day where it was a.

229
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: Twenty year period from demonstration to actually becoming a medal.

230
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, sometimes you have to make concessions for your sports.

231
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 6: You were talking about rugby earlier. That's a seven on

232
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: seven format. That's not usually the format you have for

233
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 6: six nations or world teams. It's usually a sixty minute game.

234
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 6: It's much longer, but you have to cut it down.

235
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: And I know next year we're going to have flag

236
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 6: football in the Olympics, and that's kind of concession that

237
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 6: I think the NFL has been working up to have

238
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 6: talked to some people in the league that and I

239
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 6: think the big thing for them with flag football is

240
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 6: this is actually a sport that both men and women

241
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 6: can play, that they can get these games done faster,

242
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 6: that there's not a lifetime of training necessary in pads

243
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 6: and expensive equipment, That this is a lot more accessible

244
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: version of the game. That's just going to be the

245
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 6: concession you make to get American football as an exhibition

246
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 6: sport in the Olympics.

247
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: There you go at Chris Burphett, where you find him

248
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,480

252
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280

253
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: together again. My head is on a swivel trying to

254
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: keep up with all of the activities. Later on, we've

255
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,160

313
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: a scare at one point, narrow win by the US

314
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: with Lebron James and the exhibition part of things. They

315
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: go and take down Puerto Rico ninety to seventy nine

316
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: to only ten of twenty nine from three point range.

317
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: So that wasn't the big deal this time around, but

318
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: great balance, five scores and double figures, and we're often

319
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: pacing just hours before the US gets ready to play

320
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: as well.

321
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 5: Man, Listen, I don't know is it just me obviously?

322
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: You know, Mike, We've been speaking for years about the

323
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: world catching up, but it's just for really exciting you

324
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: know basketball on the on the men's side, where before

325
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,479
Speaker 5: you're like, okay, let me check out Spain, check out Argentina,

326
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 5: and it's like, no, man, all of these games are

327
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 5: good right now.

328
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Well that you know, we talk about the globe catching

329
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: up guys and making their decisions of where they're going

330
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: to play, and maybe they have opportunities for multiple nations,

331
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: and so you're also looking for you know, family histories.

332
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: You're looking at where it might have more meeting and impact.

333
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: Maybe you get a bigger role, so maybe you go

334
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: and roll up for a squad that maybe traditionally you

335
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't have, and you see the field catch up. You

336
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: know Steph Curry, who's still playing on the men's side.

337
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: Right the old change the game, three point shots being

338
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: such a big deal here, the rules changes, fast pace, breaknecks,

339
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: energy of it all. But man, look at where we're

340
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: at in the NBA. I mean, how many if you

341
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: did the you know, usual rankings list, go top ten,

342
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: go top twenty, how many of those guys are international players?

343
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what just happened in the draft

344
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: this year. We'll see how how great these guys become

345
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: it to become great at all. SAR certainly struggled in

346
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: the in the summer league, but it's the idea that

347
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: you know, we're finding athletes everywhere that are getting more

348
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: involved in this game earlier and it's riding straight up

349
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: into the Olympic competition.

350
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but it's uh, it's been a treat to watch,

351
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: you know, and from a you know, world aspect, I

352
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: guess you know, Mike, you know, you're a soccer guy,

353
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: Like soccer has had this excitement for a long time globally. Yes, yeah,

354
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: on the basketball side, but.

355
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: But it's finally there, right, and and it takes time

356
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: to just state like we're talking a little bit about

357
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: you know, flag football and and you know, accessibility and

358
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: and learning the game.

359
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: Right.

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: When I was over in Europe a couple of weeks ago,

361
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: I was wearing a Bears sweatshirt and no matter where

362
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: you went, you got stop by somebody who was either

363
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: from the States on vacation and needed to needle you

364
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: about the Bears. Of course, I expect that that's the

365
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: way it goes. But or they're you know, they've adopted

366
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: a team, you know, in Ireland, a bunch of guys

367
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: on a train, you know, that stopped me a guys

368
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: in London. Same thing, you know, whether it's the Jaguars

369
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, but a lot of Lions fans, a

370
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of representation from different squads. And

371
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: that's just it, right, You make your inroads and over

372
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: time it happens. With soccer. We've been waiting for it forever. Right,

373
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: since I was a kid, I was like, all right,

374
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: here it comes. I didn't grow up with it, but

375
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: I knew a lot of folks that did, which funny

376
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: because I was on the South side of Chicago, seems

377
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: I would have run into soccer more than just the

378
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: guys that ended up playing for my high school team.

379
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: But lo and behold, all these years later, I mean,

380
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: we're seeing it grow in angel City. Right, the team

381
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: Ilo does play by play for here in Los Angeles.

382
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: They just sold for two or fifty million dollars. Right,

383
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: the dollars are starting to find their way, and certainly globally.

384
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: You know, when again we talk about sports and the

385
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: ability to to just get after it. Right, Basketball, you

386
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: need someone to construct a hoop, but you only.

387
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 4: Need a ball.

388
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Soccer you could put anything to represent goal markers.

389
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: You just need a ball.

390
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: So you know, some of that you take down some

391
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: of the economic barriers to it as well. You know,

392
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: like in business, you're trying to find your barriers for entry,

393
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: and certainly we see that in some of these sports

394
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: where it's helped, you know, to grow the global side

395
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: of it.

396
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 5: Oh no, it absolutely makes sense. And you know, again

397
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: like Sudan, we're so impressed with them. Why because you

398
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: brought up the goals. There is no goal in the

399
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 5: entire country, you know, or there's there's own there's no

400
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 5: indoor basketball, and you see the success that they're having.

401
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 5: So you know, going and building it so that the

402
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: kids can play and they can get up to speed.

403
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: That's it. It's an absolute game changer. So no, no,

404
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: that's a great point.

405
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 2: There well and one of the great things with it, right.

406
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: Lou Al Dang who became a punchline for part of

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: his NBA career right in terms of a massive contract

408
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: that didn't yield a lot of production, got to call

409
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: it what it is, right. You gotta gotta be fair

410
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: to it. A well traveled player had a long career

411
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Some big years back you know when

412
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 2: he started with the Bulls, but later on in his

413
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: career he became, you know, one of the guys that

414
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: got singled out when people want to do their bemoaning

415
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: of what guys get paid. Right, Hey, you're paying someone,

416
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: you take your shot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work.

417
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: But then to see him take his history and legacy

418
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: and apply it as he has and you're you're seeing

419
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, great team basketball. And I think that's the

420
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: other part to it when you talk about the way

421
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: the game has developed the rest of the globe, and

422
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: it's one of the glaring things when trying to just

423
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: assemble you know, for lack of a better term, the Avengers. Yeah,

424
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: that's right, Robert Downey Junior's back in the MCU. We'll

425
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: get to that as our heroes and villains themes continue,

426
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: because you know that that kind of I think I

427
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: saw the the X slash Twitter Whale for the first

428
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: time in a while after the big announcement last night.

429
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: But we'll get to that as the show continues. But

430
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: just the idea that you know, you've got all of

431
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: the best in the US playing, but it's not necessarily

432
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: the team fluidity, Right, You're not seeing the same consistency

433
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: in rotations and passing the turnover number. I mean they

434
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: had seventy two turnovers in their five exhibition games. Ryan

435
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: a lot of those the all right, I thought that

436
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: you were going to cut instead.

437
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: The guy in the.

438
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: Third row has to be careful, just like it was

439
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: Sean Dunstan shortstop for the Cubs back in the day.

440
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: If you were sitting behind first base, doesn't mean he

441
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: was finding Mark Grace's glove. And no matter how great

442
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: he was, you had to be careful because if the

443
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: netting didn't extend fully into your section, you might got

444
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: a souvenir the wrong way. But you know, same thing

445
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: with the way the US squad has been here watching

446
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: South Sudan watch some of these other squads. The efficiency

447
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: on the offensive end and just the continuity swinging the

448
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: ball around. I mean, that's been fun to watch, right,

449
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: some of the basic principles of basketball back on display.

450
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 5: And you know Royale, you know, unbelievable doing the unbelievable

451
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 5: job there. You know, I saw him all year long,

452
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: and like he was talking about this Olympic deal the

453
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 5: whole year. You know, he was a static and you

454
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 5: got to think he gets the coach against the NBA's

455
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 5: best and he's gonna easily be ahead coach one day,

456
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 5: doing a great job there in Houston.

457
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: But he was excited. So for me, it's fun. I'm

458
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: pulling for him.

459
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: But you got that connection right there. Absolutely.

460
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of Rockets members over there, you know,

461
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 5: with the with these games. But I thought that that

462
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 5: was just really really fun to watch. But yeah, man,

463
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: the competitive level is it's just rose to a whole

464
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 5: new you know, whole new markers. But from the basketball side,

465
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: I'm I'm telling you, man, it's going off the roof.

466
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: And I think for the players. You know, when I

467
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 5: sit back and watch and I was watching what was it?

468
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 5: Was it Greece in Canada?

469
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh, grease in Canada? Right, Canada's got what ten NBA guys.

470
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: You got chesty, you got Yannis throwing bows because he's

471
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: ticked off like it was great.

472
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: Mike, Okay, two things, when's the last time or can

473
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 5: you imagine that you'd be watching Greece in Canada that

474
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: locked in on the basketball side, And how much better

475
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: are these guys gonna get going into the season. You know,

476
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 5: as a player, when I played USA, basketball under nineteens,

477
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 5: and I played the Pan American games later in my career.

478
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 5: I had my best year as a pro after that,

479
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: because you kind of get game ready or you just

480
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 5: get better. It's reps whatever. You can't simulate game reps.

481
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 5: But did you imagine watching that and how good are

482
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: these guys going to be during the season.

483
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: No, but that's just it right.

484
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: I started my day, like I said, watching some rugby

485
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: and then lo and behold there's Wembin Yama and France

486
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: Brazil on my screen. And you know, you and I

487
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: were chatting a little bit back and forth in the

488
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: in the texting world, we bring the audience in, take

489
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: the curtain back. You know, some of the rules are

490
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: going to be of great assist to some of the nations.

491
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean, think about trying to play against France when

492
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: there's no defensive three seconds. Oh god, you got Wemby

493
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: and you got go Bear just standing there. Okay, good

494
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: luck getting to the rack. You better be deadly from

495
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: three point range or it's going to be a long day.

496
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: You know, Dwayne Wade was on the call, and I

497
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: don't know that I've laughed so hard, like he was

498
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: just having a blast doing it and you know, long

499
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: illustrious career in the NBA, but there was a one

500
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: dunk where you know, you had the full extension for

501
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: wem Min Yama and his partner goes, hey, you ever

502
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: see anything like that in the end, and yet he

503
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: goes no, but.

504
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: I did see it in Space Jam. But I did

505
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: see it.

506
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: In Space Jam, and I think that was a little

507
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 2: cgi aateed and they're like, can we roll that back?

508
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: Can we see that again? So they kept just showing

509
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: it from every angle they had, showing the absolute height

510
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: to which when Ben Yama was playing and again superstar things,

511
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: he had a run during that game was just amazing.

512
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: But all the way through, you know that Greece Canada game,

513
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 2: those guys were fighting tooth and nail from from the

514
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: opening tip all the way through, and that's one of

515
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: the great things, right, you're representing country, but guys are

516
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: also representing themselves, their brands and recognizing it as an

517
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: opportunity to reach a whole other audience. So it is

518
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: a it's next level, like that Canadian Grease game. Down

519
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: the stretch, it got testy and guys were getting chippy.

520
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: You had Shay Gildess Alexander he was dishing it out

521
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: and yap in a bunch. So yeah, I mean you saw,

522
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: you know some of what we get to see in

523
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: the NBA, and some of those guys have beef with

524
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: each other. That's one of the great things. Go back

525
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: to the exhibitions, Dylan Brooks and Lebron James getting after

526
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: it a little bit. If we could take that into

527
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: the international courts, it's better theater for everybody.

528
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 5: Speaking of Shay, I watched and I when I worked

529
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 5: with the Clipper, sha was just a rookie there got

530
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 5: to cover him, watching him from knowing his personality up

531
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: close in person, watching him develop and.

532
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: Grow, like that's scary for the league. The way he played. Yeah,

533
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: like I'm almost like.

534
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 5: You were top five and MVP voting this last season,

535
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 5: but like a fiery in your face kind of like

536
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 5: shoving you Like, look like that's scary from him, but.

537
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 4: That's just it.

538
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 2: Right, Look, he had his this was his whatever, the

539
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: debutante coming out thing. I don't know that that's still

540
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: a large sid thing, but certainly there have been plenty

541
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: of movies and TV shows about it through the year.

542
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: Right the Hey here you are, Bella, the ball and

543
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: everybody's celebrating whatever your birthday or whatever kind of pageantry

544
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: goes along with all of that. That was Shay Gil

545
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: just Alexander this year, right, you watch Clipper fans losing

546
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: their minds about it, especially now that Paul George is

547
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: no longer there. It becomes the See he was here,

548
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: we didn't win, betrayed all that and that guy and

549
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: that guy, well you didn't know he was gonna be

550
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: that guy. And Kawhi Leonard doesn't show up unless that

551
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: deal gets made. We all know this, But rationality goes

552
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: out the window because now he's becoming the guy. And

553
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: I think this year, right, he found his superpowers. Right,

554
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: this is one of those you stumbled into that cave

555
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 2: insert your universe here, and you found some special power.

556
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: And now he's ready to take it to the world

557
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: and keep fielding to where people put him in that

558
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 2: conversation of the best in the game.

559
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he and he deserves it. He's he deserves it.

560
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: But I think it just kind of put the league

561
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: on notice, kind of like, oh, okay.

562
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: Shay, we this wasn't a one and done.

563
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, forgive us you wow, you know you gotta

564
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: get some more, uh, some more attention to what he's doing.

565
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: Man, But he yeah, I mean just the moves.

566
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: He's so fluent, you know, and he's he's got I mean,

567
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 5: you know, we always go wild.

568
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: We talk about Luca's footwork.

569
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 5: He's he's in that he's different than Luca, but they

570
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 5: may be one A and one B as far as

571
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 5: like getting their shot off.

572
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: Like he's a technician. Now.

573
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 5: The nice thing with Luca is he's six ' eight,

574
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 5: so he can be like really slows down and hits

575
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: these fadeaways right over your outstretch. Armed, but Say's finding

576
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: ways to get that shot off.

577
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: Eighty six, seventy nine the final there.

578
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: RJ.

579
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: Barrett, the leading scorer for Canada with twenty three, A

580
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: guy that I that draft class. I'm always interested in

581
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: what the second wrong of those guys does. Right, we

582
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: had Zion and we had Jah at the top, and

583
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 2: we know their histories and then it's just figuring out

584
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: everybody else. Several have joined the Lakers and are trying

585
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: to figure out you know, when you look at Ruy

586
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: Hachimura and Cam Reddish and those guys.

587
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: RJ.

588
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: Barrett one of those.

589
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: Interesting journeyman guys who might be a little better than that,

590
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: but that might just be his fate at this point. Hey,

614
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,440

00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 11: any discussion about Bios pulling out of competition due to

621
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,080

642
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Nick. As we continue, we've got

643
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: Olympic basketball. We'll get back into Team USA and their

644
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: match up a little later on today against Serbia. We've

645
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: got some illness and I think a little bit of

646
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: concern still riding off of what we saw in the exhibitions.

647
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: Or do you just flip a switch.

648
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: We'll try to figure that out coming up about twenty

649
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: minutes from now. We were just on the half pipe

650
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: and saw someone take a terrible spill and that's fortunately

651
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: wearing long pants. Ryan Hollinds, so spared us the raspberry

652
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: that she may have had here. So, yeah, we've got

653
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: a lot going on. Just I love this cycling in

654
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: basketball water polo. They've got cameras that are giving us

655
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: the glimpses of how much physical activity rabbit punches and

656
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: other things go on in water polo. As a man

657
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: who cannot swim, Ryan Hollins, not.

658
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: My sport, No hold on, you can't swim.

659
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 4: I was a landlocked Chicagoan.

660
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: This Chicago's beautiful in the summertime.

661
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 6: Chicago's right on the lake.

662
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, see this is growing up right one

663
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: Lake Michigan.

664
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 4: I'm not swimming in Lake Michigan, not by Chicago.

665
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter was public pool was

666
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: a little ways away and growing up, look, man, the

667
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: north side was bad.

668
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 4: We had a very.

669
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: Fine line that was kind of drawn in the sand

670
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: for us, like you stay to your south side and

671
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: in the beaches and whatever would be near north or

672
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: far north up And so we didn't do any of that,

673
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: and swimming wasn't put into the summer programs. It was

674
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: just get out of the house and go play baseball

675
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: and get out on a baseball diamond, or go do

676
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: the next thing?

677
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: What do you got Rianna?

678
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 7: Okay, so but how long have you actively been in California?

679
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: By that point, I was just like, what was my incentive? Like,

680
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: I go, I go into the water, and I can

681
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: hold my own for a minute.

682
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 4: Do you doggy paddle? That's about that.

683
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: And I've got a powerful that's left of shoulders and whatever,

684
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: but like those are ripped up.

685
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: I have no range of motions shoulders.

686
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of well, I mean that was the way

687
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: back in the day. That was the only like I

688
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: didn't learn proper, proper swimming technique, and now I'm old

689
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: and I have no range of motion.

690
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 4: Shoulder.

691
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: You can swim, You're just not like a a great swimmer.

692
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean everybody can pretend to swim

693
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: a little bit.

694
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: Well that's me. Then we can dogy. We're both doggy paddlers.

695
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 4: Oh okay.

696
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just kind of dismissing it as I

697
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: have zero skill or aptitude to actually swim with a

698
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: he kind of Hey, that guy looks like he knows

699
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: how to swim, versus he looks like he's being chased

700
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: by something and he's just frantic.

701
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, I make it profet laugh. He's just mocking.

702
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 6: I've swimmed my entire life. I swim like a fish,

703
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 6: so this is just this is just fun for me.

704
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 5: There are some people who literally cannot swim, and it's

705
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 5: probably more so fear than anything. But yeah, yeah that

706
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 5: that that that, Yeah, you can swim.

707
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: It was just it was never a priority, like we

708
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: did make the kids take swim lessons. Right, if we're

709
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: going to live in southern California and eventually as a

710
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: troop of young women they were going to go over

711
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: to the beach, you'd like to think, all right, you

712
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 2: got enough skills that you can go and and hold

713
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: your own if need be waiting on lifeguard or you know,

714
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: surfers to come to your aid. Whereas for me, like

715
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: I like walking along the beach to where I do

716
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: some of my best thinking, like my Linel Richie Hello,

717
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: video kind of moments of you know what's going on

718
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: in the world. There you go, current pop culture reference.

719
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: He's still on tour, so it plays let's go see

720
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: the residency in Vegas. He's right, Hollins, I'll buy carbon here.

721
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio, like I said there

722
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 2: was a big loss and it happened on the boats

723
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: during the opening ceremony.

724
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: Maybe you heard this one, maybe you didn't, but it's

725
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 4: certainly one that I think is a universal fear. We'll

726
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: talk about it next here on Fox.

Speaker 2: beautiful things, so much Olympics and NBA and NFL contract.

737
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: There's so much going on in our sporting universe for

738
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: several days away from the trade deadline, so you're starting

739
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: to see some big names, big rumors shuffling are out

740
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, So we'll get into that a

741
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: little bit as we roll as well, Ryan Hollins. But

742
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: a story that took over the opening ceremonies met with

743
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: much consternation confusion, but also a celebration, right Celine Dion's

744
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: big performance at the end, Lady Gaga, you had someone

745
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: fall off the little stage they were working with, So,

746
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: I mean there was a lot going on pillar to posts,

747
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: start to finish, and it rained a lot, and at

748
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: points Mike Turico even saying I'm not quite sure where

749
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: the torch is going. Now that's always my favorite. All right,

750
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: you have the guy, the mass parkour man or woman.

751
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: How great was that? Of course is on a rooftop

752
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: and it's raining really hard, so a potential for chaos,

753
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: but hey, degree of difficulty is part of the things

754
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: we judge at the Olympics. Why not during the opening

755
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: ceremonies as well. But we did have Olympian gen Marco

756
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: tem Barry from Italy. He lost his wedding ring during

757
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: the opening ceremonies when he was on his boat. Yeah right,

758
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: he was a flag bear gold band appeared to be missing.

759
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: Final photo shows reaching out as it fell out of

760
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 2: his hands. Quote I'm sorry, my love, I'm terribly sorry,

761
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: he put on Instagram. He lost his ring probably due

762
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: to a quote, a combination of too much water, too

763
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: many kilos lost. There, you go, blame training. I'm in

764
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: the best shape of my life as we're ready for

765
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: NFL training camps in Earnest here, Ryan Hollins, that's the line.

766
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: You always get guys in the best shape of his life.

767
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 2: And then as other quote quote the uncontainable enthusiasm of

768
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: what we were doing quote. The fact remains that I

769
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: heard it slip away, I saw it fly. I followed

770
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: with my eyes until I saw it bounce inside the boat,

771
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: a tinkle of hope, but unfortunately the bounce was in

772
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: the wrong direction and floating more than a thousand times

773
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: in the air. Saw dive into the water as if

774
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: that was the only place it wanted.

775
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 4: To be.

776
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: Really poetic, basically ending by saying the ring wanted the

777
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: water more than it wanted my hand.

778
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 4: What is breaking up with her? In that post? It

779
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 4: sounds like it. It sounds like it, like I'm sorry.

780
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: It will remain forever in the riverbed of the City

781
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: of Love. Flown away while I was trying to carry

782
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 2: the Italian tricolor as high as possible during the opening

783
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: ceremony of the most important sporting event in the world.

784
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: If I had to make if I had to make

785
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 2: up an excuse, I never would be able to be

786
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: so imaginative.

787
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 4: I don't know. It sounds like he had a team

788
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 4: of writers at the ready.

789
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: Well you know what translation, you know, some of the

790
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 5: languages just they're just more articulate, just a little better.

791
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 5: You know, maybe it's it's what it is. We'll blame

792
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 5: it on.

793
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 4: That the romance languages come to play here.

794
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.

795
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, said, could be a huge poetic side to him

796
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 2: using his ring if she decided to throw hers into

797
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: the river too. So there you go. There's one of

798
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: the random stories to get things started. Uh, and everybody

799
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: having you know, flashback moments to you know, having taking

800
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: your your ring off, perhaps uh, you know you had

801
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: a sodium laid meal and you suddenly felt a bit

802
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: constricted as you had started to have sausage or hot

803
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: dog fingers, things of that nature. Hey man, I'm trying.

804
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying for the guy. I could never do anything

805
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: quite so poetic as you.

806
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 5: Just say hot dog fingers. Yeah, I didn't know hot

807
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 5: dog fingers was a thing.

808
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it was a joke in the the

809
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: ad for a medication on Saturday and live, but you

810
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: also have the kud you I mean, do you not

811
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: swell up if say may maybe you you get a

812
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 2: little too.

813
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 4: Much sodium on a given day.

814
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: You never an extra beverage or two, or maybe maybe

815
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: you went h and you had a really salty meal.

816
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 3: If I have, I have not noticed, not to that level.

817
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: See there you go.

818
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 2: It goes back maybe to that metabolism that you know

819
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: that you've talked about the competitive advantage over me, because

820
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: certainly anything salty, that's it face bloats. I'm not saying

821
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 2: I'm not a I don't I don't have some more

822
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: pounds to shed, but certainly you can tell no sleep

823
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: or extra sodium. It shows in the face, kind of

824
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: like these guys getting punched in the face in the

825
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: boxing match right now that we're watching here live as

826
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: part of the Olympic coverage. Ryan Hollins, I mean, as

827
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 2: you said earlier, you just keep your head on a swivel.

828
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: And there's another sporting event that pops up at its place.

829
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: So good.

830
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: We've got women's street skateboarding going on and so much more.

831
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 2: But we're gonna get back to men's basketball here as

832
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,840

845
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: In July twenty eighth Mike Carbon alongside Ryan Hollinds, the

846
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: opinionated seven footer. There's the podcast. You find the archives there.

847
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: You see him on Twitter x at the Ryan Hollins

848
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 2: ten years in the league working with the Houston Rockets,

849
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: a master thespian, part of Uncut Gems and depicted by

850
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 2: his good friend in clipped it's my guy, Ryan Hollins.

851
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: Ready for some US men's basketball coming up an hour

852
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: from now.

853
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 4: It's going on, buddy, let's go.

854
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 3: It's go time.

855
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 4: It is go time.

856
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: We're in those final throws waiting for official designations. I

857
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: think everybody's going to play. Kevin Durant obviously remains a

858
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: wild card and a lot of this stuff. But we

859
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: had illness with the big men, which is not where

860
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: you want to be in a game where you can

861
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: pack it in, you know, with your defense down low

862
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 2: and at least attempt to slow down opposing squads. But

863
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: Embeid and Anthony Davis both ill coming out of the

864
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: opening ceremonies. Steve Kerr expects both to play. We'll find

865
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: out in an hour's time. But a big matchup against Serbia,

866
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: spread sitting at like twelve and a half. The over under,

867
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: I think is one hundred and eighty or one hundred

868
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: and eighty one, or split the difference if you will.

869
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 2: But a team that got through five and zero record,

870
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: but not the cleanest as I mentioned last hour, Ryan,

871
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean, leading all teams with seventy two turnovers in

872
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: the five game.

873
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 4: Run up to where we're at.

874
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: We can talk about timing, we can talk about cohesion,

875
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: uh style of play. I mean, all of those are factors.

876
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: I guess if we're gonna put it in the giant

877
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 2: basketball pie, you know what's getting the biggest slice out

878
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: of reasons for that.

879
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 5: We're getting better and I think for a team USA, obviously,

880
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 5: cohesion is always going to be uh, you know, a

881
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 5: question or an issue. You know, these guys had had

882
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 5: played together, and you know motivation. You know, when you're

883
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 5: the best, everybody wants to wants to knock you off.

884
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 5: So you know, those guys literally they got to go

885
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 5: out and prove themselves.

886
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 3: Well.

887
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: I think that's the one of the underlying parts to

888
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: all of this is we don't have the same uh,

889
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say reverence, but but but remember it

890
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: from you know, thirty years ago, the Dream Team guys

891
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: were as excited to make sure that they got a

892
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 2: photo op getting dunked on as they were trying to

893
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: play competitive basketball, right Whereas now these guys are gonna

894
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 2: get the best shot of all these teams. Part of

895
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: it is because you're seeing multiple NBA players are guys

896
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: who've had a cup of coffee in the league playing

897
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: on all these other squads from South to Judan on

898
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 2: down the line. Today they play a guy that they're

899
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: all very familiar with in Nikola Jokic. So now it's

900
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: you know, put up or shut up time for a

901
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: team that you know, as they got assembled, you know,

902
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: we joke about superheroes and this is the version of

903
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: the Avengers. And last night we had the big ceremony

904
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: as part of Comic Con where they unveiled Robert Downey

905
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: Junior returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom.

906
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: He goes from being the.

907
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 2: Greatest hero, the sacrifice, endgame, all of that, and now

908
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: it's all undone because he becomes a villain on the

909
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: other side. And for the United States Men's Team, yeah,

910
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: once revered and you know, hero status, now it's like

911
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: I want to beat you, I want to gut you.

912
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 2: And here we are.

913
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, look man, and here's the reality too. The best

914
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 5: players are an American Yiannis and Jokic, you know, and

915
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 5: you know, it's it seems like the USA is kind

916
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 5: of trying to figure out how to use embiid looks

917
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 5: like he's not quite comfortable, you know, on the team.

918
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 5: He's trying to you know, kind of trying to figure

919
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 5: things out. But yeah, there's a lot to unpact there.

920
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, with Embiid, he's a guy that like a lot

921
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: of who he is and like he named himself. And

922
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: this goes back to our heroes and villains themes that

923
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 2: we've had the last couple of weeks, and I mentioned

924
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: our djuh for that reason as well as you know,

925
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: embiids called himself the biggest the most hated player in

926
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: the game. Might be the biggest villain going on, right,

927
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: because Draymond, I mean, and he's just Draymond at this point,

928
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. Nobody cares except Lebron James fans because they're

929
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: worried he's lurking in the shadows. But you know, in

930
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: terms of like he's a guy that still runs his

931
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: mouth a little bit. Sometimes it's the tongue in cheek.

932
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's say, all right, what are you trying to

933
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 2: get at in terms of what you're spewing out there

934
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 2: right getting after it the other day, kind of talking

935
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: about Lebron James and his game and whatever, and if

936
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 2: you'd interpret the words at face value, kind of diminishing

937
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: what James is doing as opposed to all right, perhaps

938
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: he was just owing to the fact that guy's going

939
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 2: to be forty years old, right, So some of that

940
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 2: may get to get lost in a bit of whether

941
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: it's tongue in cheek or if you're supposed to just

942
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 2: take it for face value. But he's a guy that

943
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: had his choices of multiple squads and when we look

944
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 2: at the five exhibitions, remember his first time out, twelve

945
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 2: minutes played and he filed out. Yeah, and in this

946
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 2: style where it's a fast moving, fast paced game three

947
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: point range from everybody involved, that his game isn't necessarily

948
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: ted on to this level or into this playing field,

949
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 2: I should say, even though he's in multiple MVP candidate,

950
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: But he's also another guy who you know, you add

951
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 2: to the list of international players when it's all said

952
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 2: and done, right. We talked about Shake Gildess, Alexander last

953
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: hour talked about Luka doncis. I mean, you got a

954
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,800
Speaker 2: lot of guys internationally that are at the top of

955
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 2: the metal stand pun fully intended when you get down

956
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: to it in our NBA rankings.

957
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, man.

958
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 5: And you know again it's the USA trying to keep up,

959
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 5: and it's you know, for a guy like Embiid, he's

960
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 5: always been the focal point of offenses, and it's everybody

961
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 5: on Team USA. And then then you tell the guys

962
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 5: that kind of take a back seat, and it's you know,

963
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis can play off somebody, he defends, bam Adebayo

964
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 5: plays with somebody and defends. But you know, for Embiid,

965
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 5: if you're gonna get the bang for your buck from him,

966
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 5: you know, you got to play through them. So it

967
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a arning experience for all the

968
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 5: young guys there. Hey, I can definitely argue Anthony Edwards

969
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 5: is still figuring out kind of how to fit and play.

970
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 3: That's the reason he's coming off the bench.

971
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 5: You know, he's by far at this moment the most

972
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 5: talented and youthful, you know, so in our reality he

973
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 5: should be he should be starting. But he's still got

974
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 5: some growing to do in his game. That's not a

975
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 5: knock to what he is or isn't. But if the

976
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 5: Edward's coming off the bench so he can just play

977
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 5: and be free, you know. But again there's the mix

978
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 5: of the talent and the team concept and the world

979
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 5: teams they they get it, they got the team concept.

980
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 5: They understand you know that the task at hand, and

981
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 5: they fit and then sometimes that cohesion is why the

982
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 5: USA is can struggle in moments. Man, it's not just

983
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 5: clear cut that they're going to get to the next

984
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 5: level or you know, you talked about Canada earlier.

985
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 3: I think they have a good mix if they know

986
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: who their guy is.

987
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 5: They got a lot of good defenders and then Shaye

988
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 5: knows he's the guy if you need you need a shot.

989
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 5: And then if you don't need him, one b is

990
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray. He's a world chap. He can hit a

991
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 5: huge shot.

992
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: You know.

993
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 5: So, man, there is the competition has never been this stick. Okay,

994
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 5: on the on the basketball side, you've had dominant teams.

995
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 5: He had really good teams. But to top to bottom,

996
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 5: I mean, my goodness.

997
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've got the veritable you know who's who.

998
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 2: When we look at this roster top to bottom, right,

999
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: we talk about the two sides on the age spectrum.

1000
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: When we got Lebron at the top end and you

1001
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 2: talk about Anthony Edwards on the other end, you're trying

1002
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: to evaluate it from a all right in the NBA,

1003
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this is insane. The problem is that it

1004
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 2: looks like an All Star game at times when they've

1005
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: been on the court together, Ryan, as we've watched it,

1006
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 2: because you're not talking about a ton of time working together. Uh,

1007
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: the international squad is not that they necessarily have either.

1008
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the number of NBA players Canada.

1009
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 2: It's specifically when you talk about the number that they're

1010
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: carrying of guys that are NBA players, But just that

1011
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: kind of loose feel for a lot of it, right,

1012
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: the extra pass versus the the one on one or

1013
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: or the two man game that we see so often

1014
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 2: time in the league. The extra swing pass. So why

1015
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 2: it's difficult to try to coach that right and when

1016
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: when we see it in the NBA, you celebrate it

1017
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 2: when you get a full team concept on both ends

1018
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: of the court, because it's hard to get guys to

1019
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: buy in.

1020
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 5: It is, and it's not even necessarily about buy in

1021
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 5: if they want to do it or not. It's just

1022
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 5: their their style of play.

1023
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 9: You know.

1024
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 5: So everybody's going, well, why didn't Kawhi make it? You

1025
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 5: know what didn't Why didn't Guess what, Derek White's gonna

1026
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 5: do his job. He's gonna stand in the corner. It's

1027
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 5: not about sometimes it doesn't come down to, you know, talent,

1028
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 5: it's the guys that you know, it's the guys that fit,

1029
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 5: and it's there's definitely not a knock to you know,

1030
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 5: the ones, the ones who make it or don't make it.

1031
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 5: Because when you get over there and you play against

1032
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: one of those teams and they have everything rolling and set,

1033
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 5: you know, you'll you'll start to get oh, it's this

1034
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 5: team player. All that guy did is rebounder. All all

1035
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 5: he did is spot up and shooting. You know that

1036
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 5: it ends up being hard to beat.

1037
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 2: One side, you know, just as if we look at

1038
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: the squad overall, right, the Joel Embiid and you have

1039
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: to change up style a little bit without him in

1040
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: there for sure. But you know you mentioned Kawhi Leonard.

1041
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: I still want more fallout from his removal, right Who's lying?

1042
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: Is really the question? Is it the Clippers or is

1043
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: it Team USA or is it somewhere in between where

1044
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of both. Because Lawrence Frank with

1045
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 2: his comments, you know when he did the you know,

1046
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: Frank Lee and all of that, you know that was

1047
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 2: their decision. Do I buy that one hundred percent?

1048
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 6: No?

1049
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 4: Do I go ahead?

1050
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 11: Right?

1051
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was explained to me that Kaalile was all

1052
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 5: in on playing. It wasn't a joker, a hoax. A

1053
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 5: gold medal would be a huge deal for his career. Obviously,

1054
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 5: you never want to see him hurt, but maybe the

1055
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 5: Clippers to a point like, look, we don't care. We

1056
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 5: just see him playing basketball, and that's you know, that's

1057
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 5: good enough for us.

1058
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: You want him playing basketball for us. But you know, again,

1059
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 2: they're they're denying.

1060
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 5: Here's the thing, you know, I hear what you're saying, like, oh,

1061
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 5: they were all all good within the course, it'd be

1062
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 5: somewhat of a slap to the face. But I think

1063
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 5: just maybe Coli being healthy and happy on the floor

1064
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 5: would be would be good enough for them.

1065
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 3: But and I get it.

1066
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, if he goes out there and gets hurt,

1067
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 5: the guy hasn't played. But at some point, you know

1068
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 5: what guys work out in the summer, You get hurt,

1069
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 5: You could slip on a banana pill.

1070
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 3: You just never know.

1071
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 5: I think it's it's part of the game. And I

1072
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 5: think the Clippers are just saying, you know, maybe this

1073
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 5: will get him where he needs to go.

1074
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 3: Who knows.

1075
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 2: Disingenuous Also to think guys aren't picking up a basketball

1076
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: during the off season, yeah, right, we're playing some form

1077
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 2: of one of the exactly they're out, they're out on

1078
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: a court somewhere. Yeah, whether there's a camera on them

1079
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 2: or not to try to claim otherwise. Yes, it's just

1080
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 2: for hardy and we wreck guys that fully. So yeah,

1081
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: it's just it was, you know, one of those little

1082
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,439
Speaker 2: ugly things that that kind of popped up. We're still

1083
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: waiting to see what Kevin Durant will be able to

1084
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: contribute as we get underway here in about an hour's

1085
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 2: time from now. But you know, for some it's they

1086
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: are it'll be an obvious cake walk through. I'm like,

1087
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not quite so sure. And if the big

1088
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: men are all legitimately sick today, you're facing an opponent

1089
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: right off the jump that's gonna give you fits.

1090
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1091
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know what, for Team USA, it's kind

1092
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 5: of it's that next man up mentality, and you know what,

1093
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 5: like things do happen, you will be missing guys. So

1094
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 5: you know, it's funny you can go from complaining about

1095
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: minutes and opportunity to you know, getting getting thrown in

1096
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 5: there and and the rhythm is off someometimes like you

1097
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 5: got you got all stars, you got you got megastars

1098
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 5: over there that you're gonna go through some moments where

1099
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 5: they can't hit a shot, you know, can't hit the broad.

1100
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 3: Side of a bar.

1101
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 5: And so, uh, just I'm telling you I've played world competition,

1102
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 5: not at an Olympic level, but it's ugly and it's

1103
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 5: and it's different. And the biggest word I can say

1104
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 5: is like rhythm. Like if you see Team USA hit

1105
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 5: their rhythm where they're moving the ball, they're Chris, they're comfortable,

1106
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 5: they're going to cruise. But if they're uncomfortable, it's a

1107
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 5: It's a tough game, man, And I tell you, catching

1108
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 5: rhythm against an unorthodox style is.

1109
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 3: Really hard to do.

1110
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 5: That's why a lot of times when you see guys

1111
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 5: that have experience from and I think the goal was

1112
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 5: obviously I just never panned out to it, but they're like, hey,

1113
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 5: you know, we'll groom you from eighteen nineteen years old,

1114
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 5: where you get used to playing this competition and then

1115
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 5: you come over and let's say, you know, you get

1116
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 5: on the big boy team. You know, it's not just

1117
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 5: a shock of how guys play, but there's definitely a

1118
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 5: huge adjustment as you do it. I just I wasn't

1119
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 5: good enough to be one of the Olympic hopefuls. Okay,

1120
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 5: that fell off from nineteen.

1121
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 4: That was it in the road, and then you got

1122
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 4: to play a decade in the league. I think you

1123
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 4: did okay for yourself.

1124
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 3: My good. I'll take it. I'll take it.

1125
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 4: I think you'll take it. Yeah.

1126
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: And I mean you're forever in uncut gems. And again

1127
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: your guy portrayed you. I mean you are a fictional

1128
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 2: a real character, but a character, you.

1129
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

1130
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 4: And the drama about the Clippers, I mean, it's a

1131
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 4: real thing. I don't have that. My image appeared on

1132
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 4: an old college football video game. I got nothing for it.

1133
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 4: So what you know, at least here you get some love.

1134
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 3: You know what I got to I was on the

1135
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: back of one of the n c a A games.

1136
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 3: Really cool.

1137
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah you don't like the back cover, not sure, definitely

1138
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 5: not front cover. And I was back cover on one

1139
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 5: of the games.

1140
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 4: I dig that. I'm gonna have to find that.

1141
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 5: I gotta find it too. I gotta probably go on

1142
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 5: eBay and find one of the old old copies.

1143
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, we'll figure that out, Ryan. We'll add

1144
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: those to the memorabilia collection. As we go through only

1203
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: was a big day, a big week, i should say,

1204
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: of contracts. It was really one day, but came fast

1205
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: and furiously nearly well a half a billion dollars in

1206
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: contract to two quarterbacks, to a tongue of Iloa and

1207
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 2: Jordan Love getting paid by the Dolphins and the Packers, respectively.

1208
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 2: As we move forward, and folks do the handwringing and

1209
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 2: lamentation and I always chuckle, and it's like, what the

1210
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 2: market will bear, and for all of us, we should

1211
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 2: only hope to have so much leverage in the jobs

1212
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: that we do and our chosen professions that we can

1213
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: be the one that sets that next boundary, like so

1214
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 2: many quarterbacks do. It's a next man up kind of world.

1215
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 2: You don't have to like it, you don't have to

1216
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: agree with it, just understand the rules of engagement, particularly

1217
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 2: when we're talking about the quarterback position in the National

1218
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: Football League. But two guys are off the board in

1219
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: terms of contracts, and we still have two more remaining

1220
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 2: as we get deep into training camp. But you know,

1221
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 2: I'm not a guy that generally watches wallets in these things, Ryan,

1222
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 2: with the exception of all right, what does it mean

1223
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: for the rest of the team building? Otherwise it's say, hey, congratulations,

1224
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 2: you got over.

1225
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, that's that's the way the NFL is built.

1226
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 5: You know, once you pay your quarterback, it becomes really

1227
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 5: hard to win. And on the other side is hey,

1228
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 5: you can't win without their quarterback, and it's always going

1229
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 5: to be the controversy.

1230
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 3: You kind of get stuck.

1231
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 5: So you know, the ideal scenario to be in is

1232
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 5: to find a young guy, a brock Party on his

1233
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 5: rookie contract so you can go out and stack your

1234
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 5: team and all the other positions. But these guys get

1235
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 5: in spaces where you get it. You have to pay them.

1236
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 5: You cannot go without paying them. They are the most

1237
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 5: important position on your team, you know. So hats off

1238
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 5: to the new money. I think Tua has deserved it.

1239
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 5: Look at the numbers that he's put up. He's been,

1240
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 5: you know, really good. Has he been good through his

1241
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 5: coal career? Not necessarily, but guess what, he is enough

1242
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 5: to run the system that they have going on over there,

1243
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 5: so you know, tool works.

1244
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: It's not going anywhere in the end.

1245
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: Proof of concept touchdown to interception ratio a little rougher

1246
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 2: than perhaps you want it. But led the league in

1247
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 2: passing yards and you've got an offense loaded and ready

1248
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: to run. And I think to a degree you mentioned

1249
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: brock perty. I think it's the perfect segue into something

1250
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: he had to say, which is again curious, you know

1251
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: the old I don't hear it, I don't read it. Whatever, No, no, no,

1252
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 2: everybody hears everything being said, even if it's coming, you know,

1253
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: through their guy reading to them off Twitter, right, one

1254
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 2: of their friends sitting around at a at a picnic. Hey, buddy, hey,

1255
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: this guy, this jack ass from Fox Sports Radio. I

1256
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 2: guess what he just said. Hopefully it's me. I's swollen dome.

1257
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Please make sure to at me and include me in

1258
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 2: the conversation when you hate or when you like what

1259
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 2: I've had to say. But it's just the idea that

1260
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 2: for TUA, he doesn't necessarily get full credit for what

1261
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: he's been able to do. And I know there were

1262
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 2: injury concerns, and then he went and he did a

1263
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: change to his training, trying to make sure you know,

1264
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 2: he knew how to take a hit and get to

1265
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 2: the to the turf and get back up for the

1266
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 2: next snap and all that proof of concept explosive offense.

1267
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: But he loses some because of the celebration of what

1268
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel is right, little squarely at the microphone. Never

1269
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: know what's going to come out of his mouth next.

1270
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 2: But a guy that we recognize as one of the

1271
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 2: great offensive minds, and for San Francisco brock Purdy certainly

1272
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 2: a guy that's in that same vein look the days

1273
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 2: of you know, people keep wanting to go back and

1274
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 2: the love hate relationship with the contracts that Tom Brady

1275
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 2: used to sign with the Patriots. Very unique set of

1276
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: circumstances in terms of what his family income was. Remember

1277
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 2: he was married to Dezell Bunch and pulling in forty

1278
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 2: to fifty million plus per year, and that he'd already

1279
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 2: bankrolled with the long career, plus his business interest whatever,

1280
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 2: not the crypto stuff, but the other stuff that everything

1281
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: had worked out nicely and piled up, so when it

1282
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: came down to it, perhaps he took a lot less

1283
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 2: over the years under market with the idea that they'd

1284
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 2: spend it on. You can argue how that actually got

1285
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 2: spent and you know, was paid back to him in

1286
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 2: terms of the team's put but the team's success cannot

1287
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 2: be denied. You can always ask quarterbacks to do that, right.

1288
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 2: You could have gone to Jordan Love saying, we really

1289
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 2: love the fact that you know you've come along nicely,

1290
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 2: but here's what we need to do. Because the XYZ

1291
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 2: and ninety nine percent of guys Ryan Allins and every

1292
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: sport are just gonna laugh and say, nope, pay me

1293
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 2: my money and be done with it. Okay, asked and

1294
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 2: answered right, you know, because there was the other side

1295
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 2: that said Brady was screwing up the marketplace by taking

1296
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 2: less like no, he wasn't.

1297
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 4: He was the outlier.

1298
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: Every team could ask their guy to do it, and

1299
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: then they'd spend that awkward two minutes laughing about it,

1300
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 2: and then he'd get back to contract negotiations. But for

1301
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Brock Purdy, he's coming up on a deal and he's

1302
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 2: one of those guys that we're gonna have to look

1303
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 2: at and try to figure out his place. He told

1304
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 2: Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle quote, I want

1305
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 2: to be dominant, not just win games and feel like eh.

1306
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: I want to be dominant with consistent decisions and feeling

1307
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 2: with the top dogs every day, talking about games last

1308
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 2: year where it didn't feel like they'd played up to

1309
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 2: you know, their potential. Be smart with the ball, you know,

1310
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 2: just here, just be dominant for four quarters. This is

1311
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 2: a guy I think that here's the noise of you're

1312
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 2: a system guy. He was thirty one and an eleven.

1313
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 2: That's touchdown to interception ratio a year ago. But the

1314
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 2: expectation has been not only are you getting to the

1315
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, but with the talent assembled there that you

1316
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 2: should be winning multiples and for Purdy to come out,

1317
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 2: you know, as these big contracts are being signed, I

1318
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: don't think it's any coincidence.

1319
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 3: No, not at all.

1320
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 5: And look, man, you got one career, you got what career?

1321
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 5: You have an opportunity. You got to hit it, and

1322
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 5: you want to hit it big. So these guys aren't

1323
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 5: going to demand any less. And you know the pressure

1324
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 5: that you put on your front office say, okay, can

1325
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 5: you afford to let me walk? You know, every general

1326
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 5: manager a situation they gotta go on, can we afford

1327
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 5: to let Dak Prescott walk? Can we afford to let

1328
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 5: brock Party walk? And if you can't do it, you

1329
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 5: gotta pay those guys. It's put up or shut up,

1330
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 5: you know at those moments. So at the end of

1331
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 5: the day, the quarterbacks sit in the best position because

1332
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 5: you go you got to answer do I want to

1333
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 5: go into the draft? And it kind of the best

1334
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 5: way to do it. And this is the controversial as

1335
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 5: always what happens with Aaron Rodgers. Jordan Love came in

1336
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 5: and Aaron Rodgers said, you know, trade me, get me

1337
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 5: out of here. You don't appreciate me. So you know,

1338
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 5: those guys who are already sitting there in power, you go,

1339
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 5: do I frustrate the guy that we have and draft

1340
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 5: somebody else, because that's a slap in the face, especially

1341
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 5: if you take him in the top three rounds.

1342
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 3: You're sending a clear and concise message show just the

1343
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 3: struggles of NFL front offices.

1344
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 2: Well, but that's it, right, it's the you either have

1345
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 2: one or you don't, and if you don't, just prepare

1346
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 2: to be absolutely boiled by all of your local media

1347
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: members and fans and skewered as you will.

1348
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 4: Man.

1349
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 2: I saw the image coming out of my beloved Chicago

1350
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 2: fandom with the White Sox, which is a train wreck

1351
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 2: of a season, which is why I keep hearkening back

1352
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,479
Speaker 2: to Cubs in White Sox references from twenty to thirty

1353
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: years ago, where maybe the teams weren't very good, but

1354
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 2: you could look at them in terms of a nostalgia

1355
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 2: thing for what they were able to do, as opposed

1356
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 2: to watching the absolute cesspool that's on the field as

1357
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 2: we stand right now. Doesn't mean there aren't guys that

1358
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 2: are going to get traded at the deadline and don't

1359
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 2: add value, But again, it's to that same point with

1360
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 2: the quarterback position of all right, how good are we

1361
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 2: going to be? Right to go and get that next guy?

1362
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 2: And is there another quarterback that may get to marketplace? Well, now,

1363
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 2: Love and Tua, aren't we talk pretty? And San Francisco

1364
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 2: may be able to do the Hey, we'll find the

1365
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 2: next guy. Well, in theory, that was Trey Lance. He's

1366
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 2: now in Dallas. See how it all ties together. But

1367
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 2: for Dak Prescott, you look at a guy winning twelve

1368
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: games a year, and I get it. The playoffs have

1369
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: been a disaster. Defense didn't bother to show up against

1370
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay and the one fifty eight point three Smith

1371
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: that I were talking about this Friday night. That game

1372
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 2: against Dallas solidified anything whatever you'd seen of Jordan Love.

1373
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 2: He went and torched a defense that everybody was expecting

1374
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: to give the rookie, the first year starter, I should say, fits,

1375
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 2: and instead he dominated them from.

1376
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 4: Pillar to post.

1377
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 2: So you're trying to play all of the calculus of

1378
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 2: you know what's going to be available in the marketplace

1379
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: right where you know, a team like Minnesota gets rid

1380
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 2: of Kirk Cousins, Well, he's in his late thirties coming

1381
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: off a major leg injury. Is that where you want

1382
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: to hit your wagons to one of the great businessmen

1383
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 2: of all time in sports history. But you know, for

1384
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, still pretty young guy, right, he's been in

1385
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: the league since twenty s sixteen, has had some big moments,

1386
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: and it's just this game of chicken with Jerry Jones.

1387
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,439
Speaker 2: You know, look, it's his money, but certainly you could

1388
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 2: have taken care of this a long time ago. But

1389
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 2: if you legitimately don't think he's your guy, what's planned B?

1390
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 2: That's a big question I would have just for Jerry

1391
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Jones directly, what's planned B? Because your team's not going

1392
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 2: to be that bad to where you're drafting in the

1393
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 2: top five.

1394
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 5: Well, this is what Dak Prescott knows. You know, in

1395
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 5: terms of Jerry Jones. You spend a lot of money

1396
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 5: on the stadium. You are America's team. Maybe we're not great,

1397
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 5: but you can't afford to be bad, so.

1398
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 3: You got to pay me.

1399
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 5: There are not other options, and you're you know, you

1400
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 5: didn't draft anybody, You ain't got you know, anybody else there.

1401
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, you don't want

1402
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 5: to go into a situation where you are not a

1403
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 5: competitive football team.

1404
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 3: And that's what Dak knows.

1405
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 5: And Dak's numbers, you know, but a number of my

1406
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 5: NFL guys they're like, no, Dek Prescott is the real deal.

1407
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 7: You know.

1408
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 5: His numbers go pound for pound with just about you know,

1409
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 5: any other quarterback out there on the market. But of

1410
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 5: course he's going to take the scrutiny from you know,

1411
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 5: being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. You know, he's

1412
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 5: gonna he's gonna take the heat. You know, his mistakes

1413
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 5: are you know, front and center.

1414
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 4: You know.

1415
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 5: So, uh for Dek Prescott, he's gonna get he's gonna

1416
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 5: get paid. He's going to get the money, and he understands, uh,

1417
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 5: you know, the task at hand.

1418
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 2: As he's he's said multiple times the money will take

1419
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 2: care of itself. Earlier this week, spoke to reporters and

1420
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 2: and all, but said, look, all my favorite quarterbacks growing

1421
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 2: up played somewhere else.

1422
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 4: And we can do and we can get that, we

1423
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 4: can do the math. He goes, you know, it may

1424
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 4: not be up to me at the end of the day. Well,

1425
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 4: it is right. They're offering you numbers. You have to

1426
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 4: decide if the number is good enough for you. So

1427
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 4: you're not completely absolved from responsibility in it. But I

1428
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 4: but I get what he's trying to do.

1429
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 2: It becomes the edge Jerry's fault if this doesn't work

1430
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: as completely Jerry's fault.

1431
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,759
Speaker 5: No, he's got Dak has gotta he's got to play hardball.

1432
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 5: But he knows, all right, Jerry, where else are you

1433
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 5: going to go?

1434
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 4: You know?

1435
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 5: And and Jerry kind of flirted with bringing in Andy

1436
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 5: Dalton and you know a couple other but those.

1437
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 2: Guys are all you know, they were in their fourth

1438
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 2: fourth careers. As a stop gap solution. You always have

1439
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: to have a guy backup wise, Ryan, I mean, and

1440
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 2: we've seen that, and that was part of the drafting

1441
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 2: of Jordan Love years ago by the Packers. They'd had

1442
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 2: a year where Rogers got hurt when they were four

1443
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 2: and one and then they were awful because they didn't

1444
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 2: have a quarterback to run it. Pretty good roster otherwise. Yeah,

1445
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 2: so that's why you draft a guy and begin that

1446
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 2: development of another first rounder. Whether people liked it or not,

1447
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 2: seems like that worked out pretty nicely for Green Bay.

1448
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 3: No, it did.

1449
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 5: And you know, hey, I got a you know, admit

1450
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 5: I was skeptical of the move. I thought it was

1451
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 5: disrespectful to Aaron Rodgers at the time.

1452
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't.

1453
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:00,560
Speaker 5: I didn't think, you know, you it was trying to

1454
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 5: break up a good thing. And again, Jordan Love is

1455
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 5: making everybody kind kind of pay for that, you know,

1456
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,799
Speaker 5: the skepticism that they had from all the Aaron Rodgers

1457
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 5: fans who didn't want to see it happen, and he's

1458
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 5: showing that he's one of those guys. He's one of

1459
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 5: those ones. So I think, hats off to Jordan Love. Man,

1460
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 5: he he is, you know, I think over exceed those expectations.

1461
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 5: And man, it doesn't always work out at the NFL

1462
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 5: level with those guys, you know, getting the opportunity and

1463
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 5: making the best of it, especially at the quarterback position.

1464
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 5: And I think the scrutiny that Love had to go under,

1465
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 5: and you know, kind of like Aaron Rodgers, you know,

1466
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 5: I don't ever remember him being that outspoken, but I

1467
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 5: mean he just since that Jordan Love deal he demanded,

1468
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 5: you know, he became a a I don't want to

1469
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 5: say a guy, but I say a topic that just

1470
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 5: sucked the air out of every sports room.

1471
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:57,560
Speaker 3: You got tired of talking about it.

1472
01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 4: Well and so.

1473
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't take a ton of victory laps for things

1474
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 2: that you know, gotten right. The hope is that we

1475
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 2: do enough of them that they don't stand out. But

1476
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 2: the Jordan Loved one, Yeah, I'll spike the ball on

1477
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: that one. As much as I hate the Packers that

1478
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 2: I thought it was the right move then, and history

1479
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 2: has proven me at least through his few games of

1480
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,560
Speaker 2: brilliance this last year and the the playoff win and

1481
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 2: now the big contract there. As for you know what

1482
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,560
Speaker 2: the Packers saw, I mean, you'd heard rumblings that it

1483
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 2: was becoming Brett farv two point zero right, the talking

1484
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: of retirement and where they wanted to be there, whatever else,

1485
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 2: And it did get them two more MVP seasons out

1486
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 2: of him as a motivated, ticked off guy.

1487
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 4: Now the rest of it that started to follow that

1488
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 4: made him a worldwide villain as we entered the or hero,

1489
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 4: depending on which side of the coin you're on. From

1490
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 4: the from the COVID part of things that you know,

1491
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 4: that's a whole other thing. Some of the theories that

1492
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 4: he espouses. I don't have the foggiest clue at what

1493
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 4: he's talking about, nor do I seek out the hour

1494
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 4: with Aaron Rodgers. I gotta look at whatever the snippets

1495
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 4: are that become the big talking points coming out of it.

1496
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 4: Not appointment viewing for me, respect the player, but as

1497
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 4: soon as you start threatening retirement and stuff, Yeah, it's

1498
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 4: time to move on. All right.

1499
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: Time to go over to Nick Cope. Get an update

1500
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 2: of what's trending in our sporting uniors. Plenty of olympack

1501
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 2: activity on the world. What's going on, Nick, Yes, almost

1502
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 2: too much to handle. We'll start earlier this morning though.

1503
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 11: Here state side women's gymnastics, Simone Biles had to deal

1504
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 11: with some discomfort in her left half, but she was

1505
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 11: still dominant as she qualified for the all around final

1506
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 11: along with the reigning all around gold medalist Sunny Lee.

1507

Speaker 11: They will both represent the US in individual competition TM

1508
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,920

1509
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 11: coach to See A Landy said there's been no talk

1510
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 11: about Biles pulling out of the competition. Got another medal

1511
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 11: going to an American. That's in women's mountain biking, a

1512
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 11: silver medal for Haley Batten. That's the best result for

1513
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 11: the US in Olympic mountain biking. Team USA now leads

1514
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 11: all nations with six total medals. In terms of gold medals,

1515
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,560
Speaker 11: it is still Australia and China.

1516
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 4: At the top.

1526
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 11: be his final tournament competing at the Olympics. A couple

1527
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,719
Speaker 11: of trades to report in baseball. The Mets acquired veteran

Speaker 1: There you go, there you go follow it much in

1539
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Cope in Cope.

1540
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 4: Yes, what we just said at the Ryot Hollins me

1541
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 4: at swallowing Dome. Hey, you know I'm trying.

1542
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to bring in the world, trying to engage audiences,

1543
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,759
Speaker 2: and our Twitter handles are things of curiosity at times,

1544
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, when you have to add numbers to the

1545
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 2: back end of your name, or someone cyber squats on yours,

1546
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 2: or you get tied to say former NASCAR Truck Series

1547
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 2: driver of the same name. Yeah, there was a Mike Carmon.

1548
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 2: And occasionally I still get folks saying, how did you

1549
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,799
Speaker 2: how did your people steal all that equipment?

1550
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 6: Not wrong, Mike Harmon, what do you got perfet I

1551
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 6: was gonna say one of my friends who writes about

1552
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 6: the Detroit Lions is named Zack Snyder. Oh good, so

1553
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 6: he gets a lot of uh and he has his

1554
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 6: handle I he spells his name differently from the you

1555
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 6: know director Zack Snyder, but he still gets a lot

1556
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 6: of tweets of people mad at him about Justice League

1557
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 6: every now and then, and he's make sure to tweet.

1558
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 4: That there you go. Yeah, No, that's a good one.

1559
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 4: I like that. There's probably some gold that came out

1560
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 4: of there. He might be out there.

1561
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 5: I have one on the other end. Yeah, when my

1562
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 5: guy Ryan Rollins decided to do some shotlifting, Yeah, I

1563
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 5: got a number of text messages sticky fingers. Yeah, sorry buddy,

1564
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 5: pulling for the young man.

1565
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 4: Well, you know, hopefully you know, finds the light.

1566
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. My coworkers are very excited that Ryan Rowlind said that.

1567
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 2: By the way, oh, I'm sure you have. I can

1568
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 2: only imagine the tom foolery that goes along with that.

1569
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 2: You can send your thoughts of what he may have

1570
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 2: experienced at the Ryan Hollins find me over at Swollendome. Hey,

1571
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 2: coming up next. As we continue, we talked about Aaron

1572
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 2: Rodgers a little bit. Let's talk about training camp tips,

1573
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 2: good bad, indifferent part of the game, but whilso badminton

1574
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 2: just put a bow on it. Earlier, I referenced to

1575
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 2: an event at the Olympics that became a demonstration sport

1576
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy two. It was badminton, which then debuted

1577
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 2: as a metal sport in Barcelona in nineteen ninety two.

1578
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 2: CEWI tie it all together. It's a rip rich tapestry

1579
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,719
Speaker 2: we weave here at Fox Sports Radio. Let's talk Rogers

1580
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 2: fighting with teammates next on Fox.

Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back in cruising.

1586
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 2: In Long Here, Fox Sports Radio, Tyrack dot Com Studios.

1587
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen, Ryan Hollins with you. Now, there was a

1588
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 2: dust up at Jets camp?

1589
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 4: Yes or now? Okay?

1590
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: It was more a verbal tata day, Ryan Hollins. We

1591
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 2: normally get fights and legitimate fights in training camp, and

1592
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 2: particularly once we do some of these practices where we

1593
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: have joint practices instead of you know, some of the

1594
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 2: the extra work, you know, these two a days, it

1595
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 2: becomes the Hey, this team comes into town for a

1596
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 2: couple of days and.

1597
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 4: We get after it.

1598
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 2: But we saw a clip of Aaron Rodgers and Garrett

1599
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 2: Wilson jawn at each other. Now I can't play the

1600
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 2: clip that I saw because there was a guy basically

1601
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 2: doing play by play of what he wanted to do,

1602
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 2: almost like it was a Mystery Science Theater three thousand

1603
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 2: kind of scenario, and every other.

1604
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 4: Word was this blank that, you know whatever. So I like,

1605
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 4: all right, we can't use that.

1606
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 2: But you know, it's the the idea that you get

1607
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: your quarterback and wide receiver jawing a little bit and

1608
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 2: trying to get on the same page. And so now

1609
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 2: with the with Garrett Wilson, what was funny the guy

1610
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 2: doing the little you know, mystery science theater thing, Tom Servo,

1611
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 2: a little little fun thing was kind of like, hey,

1612
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, if you were here all the time, that

1613
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,120
Speaker 2: timing on that route would have been better.

1614
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 5: Well, no, hey, in all seriousness, it shows that Aaron

1615
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 5: Rodgers isn't untouchable anymore. And when he first got there

1616
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,520
Speaker 5: he was pretty untouchable.

1617
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 3: Man.

1618
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 5: The Jets, you know, gave everything up, all the players

1619
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 5: or Aaron showed me how to do this, show me

1620
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 5: how to do that. You know, I don't think he's

1621
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 5: he's quite like getting gonna get the Russell Wilson with

1622
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 5: the Broncos, but you know, their their eyebrows raised man,

1623
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 5: and he's got to bring it. He kind of got

1624
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 5: to show you know that he's Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I

1625
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 5: mean last year lost year, oh beyond beyond loss. But

1626
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 5: for the hype that was, people were crowning them super

1627
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 5: Bowl champions. And I'm not saying that Aaron crowned himself

1628
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl champier that he'd win or run away

1629
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 5: with things, but it was one of the more disappointing

1630
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 5: signings and living up to expectations, you know, unlived in

1631
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 5: all sports history. Opening run, he tears his a I mean,

1632
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:27,759
Speaker 5: that was ridiculous, and I know things happen in sports,

1633
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 5: but it just showed me, you know, in my opinion,

1634
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 5: as an athlete, Aaron, you made a move that you

1635
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 5: ain't been making all off season long, and you turned

1636
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 5: to going to a run and and and you ain't

1637
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 5: been running that hard and all of a sudden, yeah,

1638
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 5: snap snapped and achilles gone. And it does happen for

1639
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 5: those who don't know. Once you hit a certain age,

1640
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 5: you lose the elasticity uh in in the achilles and

1641
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 5: that's why I can't snap. It happens at at a

1642
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 5: later age. But it was disappointing man.

1643
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's the curiosity of how this iteration plays

1644
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 2: up because on paper, strong squad, right, a lot of

1645
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: questions about Buffalo in terms of the wide receiving corps,

1646
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:14,600
Speaker 2: a young, young corps that steps in with the departures

1647
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 2: of Gabe Davis and of course Stefan Diggs Digs not

1648
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 2: exactly getting along with everybody there last year anyway. But

1649
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 2: we move on and you look at Miami just signed

1650
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 2: to and you've got all the offensive weaponry. The Patriots

1651
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 2: are in complete rebuild, refocused, retool mode, so you know,

1652
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 2: we put them at the bottom, but they'll steal a

1653
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 2: game or two and make things interesting on occasion. Expect

1654
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 2: the defense to rise up and play some meaningful moments.

1655
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's that curiosity of this squad. With the

1656
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 2: defense assembled with Breise Hall and Garrett Wilson, two of

1657
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 2: the best young talents, and certainly for fantasy purposes, we'll

1658
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 2: talk about them a lot over the course of the season.

1659
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 2: But for Aaron Rodgers, after a year of a lot

1660
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 2: of appearances and common terry, the expectations are still there.

1661
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 2: And he's a guy that's forty years old. Guy there,

1662
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 2: forty years old trying to come back off a big injury.

1663
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 5: And obviously, look, we look at Tom Brady, we know

1664
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 5: he can do it. And tom Brady's career even gave

1665
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 5: more hope to Aaron and saying that, hey, man age

1666
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 5: is nothing but a number. You know, Hey, in fact,

1667
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 5: you're more talented than Tom Brady. This should work out.

1668
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 4: Well.

1669
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 2: That's my hope though, is that these guys keep playing forever.

1670
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 2: Why because I'll feel a little bit younger. We turn

1671
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 2: our attention back Men's basketball tipping off soon next on Fox.

1672
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1673
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 4: Greetings, Welcome in final hour of the program.

1674
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: Here on a beautiful Fox Sports Sunday, coming to you

1675
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,839
Speaker 2: live from the tirac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios,

1676
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 2: tirerac dot com. We'll help you get there on Matt's selection,

1677
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,919
Speaker 2: fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, over ten thousand

1678
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 2: recommended installers, tire act dot com. The way tire buying

1679
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 2: should be. Ryan Hollins were just minutes away from the

1680
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: United States men's basketball team tipping off against Serbia and

1681
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 2: Nikola Jokic. As you heard in the update from Nick Cope,

1682
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 2: we are going to get some semblance of an appearance

1683
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 2: from Kevin Durant. We'll see what kind of minutes he'll

1684
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 2: be able to play. But the exciting news there as

1685
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 2: we get him back into the mix, always want to

1686
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 2: at least have everybody available as we go through an

1687
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 2: illness that hit the squad. Doesn't look like it's sidelining anybody,

1688
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: but we'll see, you know, fatigue, exhaustion, because the pace

1689
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 2: of play forty minutes should be a help in that regard.

1690
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 2: But you know, we talk about the pace of play,

1691
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,639
Speaker 2: the size of the court, three point shooting. It's going

1692
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 2: to be a fun test out of the gate. But

1693
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 2: you know, against a backdrop of so many different sports,

1694
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 2: it's just that fun point in the day where the

1695
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 2: head's on a swivel and buckle up in for a

1696
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 2: full day sports.

1697
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it's gonna be a fun one and

1698
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 5: it extremely anticipated. And you know, again, like we talked

1699
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 5: about earlier in the show, that the world is caught

1700
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 5: up man, and you know, there's no cakewalk. And the

1701
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 5: one thing about Olympic or FIBA basketball is if you

1702
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,480
Speaker 5: have one guy, you got a guy, and you got shooters,

1703
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 5: or you got defenders, or you get even more so

1704
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 5: you get people that believe it's it is tough to play.

1705
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 5: And I say it in the sense because guys just

1706
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 5: start believing. I mean, you got you got a guy,

1707
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 5: you know, competing against Lebron James or Jason Tatum, and

1708
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,600
Speaker 5: he's probably could could be in his early forties, just

1709
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 5: bad built, but he's given it.

1710
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 3: Everything he has. He's fighting for his country out there.

1711
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 5: Or hey, man, he plays pro ball somewhere, so maybe

1712
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 5: he doesn't look like uh, the the players or that style, man,

1713
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 5: but it is again, it's extremely competitive.

1714
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 3: Man.

1715
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 5: Look, I've been there before. These are not just pushover games.

1716
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 5: And again, the first few minutes of these games are

1717
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 5: extremely valuable. And you saw Grease, who was you know

1718
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 5: outside of Yanni's extremely under man and that they fought hard.

1719
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 3: Man.

1720
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 5: They almost came back and got right in that game

1721
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 5: yesterday against Team Canada.

1722
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 2: No, that's just it right, and it got chippy and

1723
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 2: you had a big back and forth. Jannis put the

1724
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 2: team on his back. I think he finished with thirty

1725
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 2: four points in the game and roll it up with

1726
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 2: some big moves down the stretch, standing up for his teammates.

1727
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 2: But you know, how about you go back into that experience.

1728
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 2: Ryan like putting that jersey on and you you know,

1729
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 2: did a little bit of self deprecation. We're not going

1730
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 2: to let you do that.

1731
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 4: Here.

1732
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 2: You did compete for your country at the level that

1733
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: you did, and then you got ten years in the league.

1734
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 2: I'd say that's a pretty successful run. But putting on

1735
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 2: the the US colors like butterflies, like, what's going on there?

1736
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 4: What's the different? Is there a difference between that versus

1737
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 4: your UCLA Bruins jersey and later on in the NBA.

1738
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 5: No, there was a huge difference for one year so

1739
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 5: far away from home. For two everything that you know

1740
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 5: and you don't know. I would say the comfort level,

1741
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 5: you're extremely uncomfortable as an athlete. You're going to be

1742
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 5: asked to do things that you probably never did you

1743
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 5: know before in sport. And it's again, man, you're out

1744
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 5: there against nobody and you know you're you're looking at

1745
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 5: competition that you think. These guys are pushovers, these guys

1746
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 5: are cakewalks, and they are going to you know, push

1747
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,799
Speaker 5: you be physical. You know, hey, the referees they're not American.

1748
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:52,520
Speaker 5: So it's a different style of game. It's not basketball

1749
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 5: like you know it. And again that's the you know,

1750
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 5: the really really scary part about about playing over there,

1751
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 5: and then you know the pressure creeps in. What if

1752
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 5: I what if I lose this game? What if I

1753
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 5: don't play to to par or standard of what I

1754
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 5: know I've been able to do. So you know, there's

1755
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 5: there's a lot sets in and if that doubt or

1756
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 5: the experience isn't there, uh you know, man, you can,

1757
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 5: you can be up against it, but there's just more

1758
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 5: uh more to I don't want to say, more to

1759
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 5: lose than to gain. But there's a lot of stresses. Man,

1760
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 5: It's and that's why you know, Team USA they like

1761
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 5: to go with the experience. They like to get guys

1762
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,639
Speaker 5: who've been there before. You talk about you know, Lebron

1763
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 5: James having that experience or guys later in their career.

1764
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 5: That's why, because they know they know how to bring

1765
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 5: it well.

1766
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 2: Thinks not to the labor the point, but you know,

1767
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 2: talking about you know, the international players, right and obviously

1768
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: it's a different world and you can talk about the

1769
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 2: world catching up, but the anticipation, the rules and and

1770
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 2: I hate the that we reduce a lot of events

1771
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 2: to officiating, but to say that at times it's been

1772
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 2: confusing not only in the run up games, but certainly

1773
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 2: the games watching yesterday, go back to France and Brazil

1774
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 2: and all the way through Greece and Canada. I don't

1775
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 2: think on a possession of possession basis they have any

1776
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 2: idea what's coming in terms of the officiating, Right, what's

1777
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 2: a touch file that's called in the first minute or two?

1778
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely not and then.

1779
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 2: Five minutes later, you know, you basically get bludgeoned and

1780
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 2: run through Like we're watching these rugby matches and there's

1781
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 2: no call and you look around like, all right, what

1782
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 2: are we doing here? Like where where's the pendulum? Swinging

1783
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 2: and trying to find that continuity and consistency and again

1784
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 2: the rules being a bit different off the jump that

1785
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 2: you know, you never get into a comfort zone, or

1786
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 2: at least that's what it looked like in day one.

1787
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know some of those officials the mindset

1788
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 5: you know overseas also, I got a chance to play

1789
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 5: overseas and it's like, well, bigger and stronger, if that

1790
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:03,799
Speaker 5: guy holds you or grabs you, you were just leveling

1791
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 5: out the playing field. You should you should be able

1792
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:08,560
Speaker 5: to score through that contact or you know, we're not

1793
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 5: going to feel sorry for Lebron James if a guy

1794
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 5: is hitting him on his elbow or bumping him, you know,

1795
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 5: off the course.

1796
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 2: It's interesting and trying to get that communication, like you said,

1797
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 2: the communication barrier being a real thing as well at

1798
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 2: times with the officials. I also think and there was

1799
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,719
Speaker 2: an image that immediately came into my head talking about

1800
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, they don't look like the NBA players necessarily,

1801
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 2: and certainly we've talked about the teams that are stocked

1802
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 2: with a bunch of NBA players, like Canada. But I

1803
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,640
Speaker 2: started immediately drifting back to thoughts of a guy like

1804
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 2: ar Vitas Sabonis, right playing internationally and then coming to

1805
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 2: the United States and becoming you know, he's a Basketball

1806
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer for the international work, but certainly coming

1807
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 2: over and now his son playing so well as he

1808
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 2: does in the league. But you know, just out of

1809
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 2: that kind of kind of an entertaining touch point going

1810
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 2: back to all those years ago, you know, not cut

1811
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 2: six nine, seven foot whatever these guys are claiming on

1812
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 2: their their CV and driver's licenses year and and just

1813
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 2: that difference in the training styles and access to those

1814
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 2: next level things again evening out, but still certainly some

1815
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 2: differences as we get ready for the tip off here.

1816
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:30,600
Speaker 2: Can't wait to see what Dwayne Wade's got here. I

1817
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 2: don't know how he follows up that wem bin yam

1818
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,680
Speaker 2: a space jam though thing because he can't use it

1819
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 2: again just because Lebron James is on the court.

1820
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 5: Listen, you know, and I like what you said about

1821
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 5: Dwayne Wade too. By the way, it was really fun

1822
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,000
Speaker 5: listening to him. I thought he did a spectacular job.

1823
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 5: He's always been, you know, really good. But you know,

1824
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 5: maybe kind of taking the year off from from you know,

1825
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 5: TNT like maybe he just got gets got more comfortable

1826
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 5: on the mic man, but he's always been, you know,

1827
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 5: one of my favorite personalities.

1828
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 3: Man.

1829
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 5: I thought he did a great job. Excited to kind

1830
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 5: of hear more from you know, Dwayne Wade.

1831
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you've also got you know, youth being served.

1832
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 4: Noah Eagle on the call.

1833
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 2: They just shot him up there and it's like all right,

1834
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's that shift right and you're

1835
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 2: you're used to all right, there's mid sixties, silver haired

1836
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 2: guy getting after it.

1837
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 4: It's not right.

1838
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 2: It's it's a different feel and it had a different

1839
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 2: call to it, and for Dwayne Wade. I think helping

1840
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: him is the fact that he he's now doing game shows, right,

1841
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,760
Speaker 2: I mean he's hosting that, and I think to some

1842
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 2: degree just saying let's just have fun with it, which

1843
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 2: as opposed to stuff right there in polo shirts and

1844
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,559
Speaker 2: just kind of hanging out. We're not doing the three

1845
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 2: piece suit, hot hot lights in a studio kind of thing,

1846
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,360
Speaker 2: and just kind of having fun with it, like the

1847
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 2: number of pop culture and random references and story times.

1848
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 2: And Noah did a great job of just kind of

1849
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 2: prompting him into little you know, I'll tell me about it.

1850
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 4: You know, like is what do you how do you

1851
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 4: get how do you get people comfortable in.

1852
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 2: Any scenario right dating, your meeting, your your friends' parents, whatever.

1853
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 2: Let him talk about themselves, life will go that much better.

1854
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:17,680
Speaker 2: So he just kept kind of prompting Dwayne Wade, you

1855
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 2: know when you played in the Olympics, what was that experience?

1856
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 2: You know, what are they feeling all of those or

1857
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 2: going back to guys he played with or around in

1858
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 2: the NBA and some of the random stories he was

1859
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 2: telling was great. But he was also like a just

1860
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 2: a fan and I think that's the was the best

1861
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 2: of it for me, a guy who's accomplished everything he has,

1862
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 2: and you know he was we talked about him last week,

1863
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: right because he you know, he had the somewhat controversial

1864
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 2: thing going. Man, I thought it was going for MJ

1865
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 2: and then I got hurt and whatever else, like which

1866
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 2: some folks get mad about whenever the name of Michael

1867
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,520
Speaker 2: Jordan is invoked, almost like he's Voldemort.

1868
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 4: Don't say that. Don't say that, You're gonna make people mad.

1869
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:00,120
Speaker 4: But you know, as he just started going through through

1870
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 4: his history, is like, oh yeah, and you know what,

1871
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 4: I played with this guy in Cleveland, or I played

1872
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaker 4: with that guy in Chicago or whatever, and like it

1873
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 4: was just all these little stories and it's not not

1874
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 4: to wash him up, you know.

1875
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Let know, he's he's a guy. You know, people take

1876
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 2: him to leave him whatever. I just thought he was

1877
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 2: having fun. So for me that that was it, right,

1878
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 2: because you're trying to bring people into this event and

1879
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 2: get them excitable, especially for nations that they may know

1880
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 2: one or two players. I thought they did a really

1881
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 2: good job at it.

1882
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 3: Oh excellent job.

1883
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 5: And you know you think about this too, you know,

1884
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 5: with with you know, a guy like Wade in the

1885
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 5: timing like we talked about earlier. Hey, guess what, this

1886
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:44,560
Speaker 5: is a world like competitive sport, so or excuse me,

1887
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 5: there's so many NBA players there now. So you know,

1888
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 5: Dwayne Wade, as opposed to other Olympics is going to

1889
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:51,719
Speaker 5: be even more comfortable.

1890
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 3: Why because he's talking about guys.

1891
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 5: Like you talked about that he's seen and known and

1892
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 5: known and not just from Team USA and obviously the

1893
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 5: experience there. And shout out to Noah because yeah, you're

1894
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 5: when you're teeing up a guy like a Dwayne Wade

1895
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 5: maybe hadn't done, you know, call.

1896
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:08,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever heard him.

1897
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 5: Maybe he did the Summer League game or something like that,

1898
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,600
Speaker 5: but I haven't heard him call a game before. But

1899
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 5: just making him be himself and be comfortable, you know,

1900
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, Hey, I'm tuning in

1901
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 5: for the Olympics, but I'm gonna listen to Wayne Dwayne Wade.

1902
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 5: I want and this is some advice I would get.

1903
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:24,600
Speaker 5: I want to hear Dwayne Wade b Dwayne Wade. I

1904
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 5: don't want to hear him be you know, somebody else.

1905
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 5: I want him to be himself. And I thought that

1906
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,519
Speaker 5: was really cool. To listen to man, but again it

1907
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 5: jumped out to me, Man, he did a really, really

1908
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 5: good job.

1909

1910
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 2: you got to employ some with sports. They really haven't

1911
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 2: done except a little bit in warm ups, you know,

1912
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,639

1955
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 5: coaches standpoint. All right, if your guys not bringing it,

1956
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:07,439

1958
01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 5: guy to take him out.

1959
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 3: You're gonna be the guy that Ben Steph Kerry or

1960
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 3: Lebron James.

1961
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 2: It was pretty entertaining. We had Rick Buker on earlier

1962
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 2: this week. Uh, and that was one of his h

1963
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 2: points to ponder of down the stretch. What if your

1964
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 2: your best five, right, because they weren't calling them starting

1965
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 2: a lot if they called them first five, what if

1966
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:29,560
Speaker 2: your hockey.

1967
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 4: Line change kind of thing.

1968
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 2: Uh, none of those guys are in your best five

1969
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:36,479
Speaker 2: to try to finish things out the way they've been playing.

1970
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens, and that's why you gotta be humble.

1971
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 3: You know, will it? Will it?

1972
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 9: It?

1973
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:44,759
Speaker 3: Ben? Somebody almost gosh.

1974
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 2: To which I also argue the hey, Steve Kerr, you

1975
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 2: only have to deal with these guys for three weeks.

1976
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 2: The only guy that you're gonna have to answer to

1977
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 2: is Steph Kurry. Everybody else you can just kind of

1978
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 2: shrug at make a mean mugy all they want now,

1979
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 2: Steph hit one three and then he came back and

1980
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 2: back ironed another, Serbia going the other way ten to five, six,

1981
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 2: twenty six and change remaining in the first quarter. But

1982
01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 2: you know, the other thing being interesting Serbia picking up

1983
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 2: full court at least to start things here, which is

1984
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 2: always an interesting proposition.

1985
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 5: Well, what's what's dangerous for the US is that when

1986
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 5: you're playing somebody that already I don't want to say,

1987
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 5: knows they're gonna lose, but has to do a little

1988
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 5: more to win. They know they don't have the talent.

1989
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 5: You don't know what quirky scheme they could throw at you.

1990
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 5: Like you said, sir, they're probably like word more athletic.

1991
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 5: Why would Serbia pick up full court? You look up, Yeah,

1992
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 5: you're right, it is a it's a big change, and

1993
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 5: you gotta think twice about it. You gotta get your

1994
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:54,720
Speaker 5: composure going. Hold on, man, I'm a lot faster than

1995
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 5: this guy. Let me just blow by him. But it

1996
01:38:56,760 --> 01:39:00,679
Speaker 5: was definitely probably that initial surprise of you know this happening,

1997
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 5: and then think about it, Joelle Embiid. You want him

1998
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 5: to get going. You did this whole big deal to

1999
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 5: kind of get him to play in Team USA. Then

2000
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:12,840
Speaker 5: now you're gonna bench him, you know. So there's just

2001
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 5: a lot of personalities, and then you want these guys

2002
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 5: to feel welcome and you want them to come back.

2003
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of moving pieces.

2004
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta say I disappointed a little bit. And

2005
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 2: Stephan Lebron, if we're gonna go headband, everybody's got to

2006
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:25,679
Speaker 2: go headband.

2007
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:27,799
Speaker 4: I mean we can't. We got to be united.

2008
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 3: Temmunity.

2009
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 4: Huh, team unity. I need unity.

2010
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 2: So if three guys are going headband, guess what you're

2011
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 2: You're voted off. You've got to get the headband onto.

2012
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 2: So that's my fair I thought here as Booker drains

2013
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 2: of three, it's twelve eleven, now five fourteen, and they

2014
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:44,599
Speaker 2: get out and run. You know part of it though,

2015
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean they got bailed out Lebron with a terrible

2016
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 2: entry pass picked off by Jokic. But then you know,

2017
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:54,519
Speaker 2: a little slap from behind gets the ball back on

2018
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 2: the on the court for another opportunity. And eventually the

2019
01:39:57,560 --> 01:39:59,720
Speaker 2: book are three. But I think part of the the

2020
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 2: press or attempt for Serby or any of these other

2021
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 2: nations is also the all right, owing to the number

2022
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 2: of turnovers that we've seen from the US, that maybe

2023
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 2: you can get them to play a little sloppy and

2024
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 2: loose with the ball Lebron heading to the line for

2025
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 2: a three point play opportunity. We'll keep you apprized of

2026
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:19,839
Speaker 2: this as play by Play.

2027
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 4: Is an NBC property.

2028
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 2: Mike Garmin, Ryan Hollins with the Fox Sports Radio Fox

2029
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday watching from builder to post.

2030
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:32,400
Speaker 4: We got soccer on, We've got you know, some more skateboarding.

2031
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 4: I love this time of year.

2032
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:34,519
Speaker 3: It is.

2033
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 2: It has been fantastic and well we'll get into full

2034
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 2: NFL mode in in short order, right first first game

2035
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game Houston and the Bears on Thursday night,

2036
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 2: and then we roll from there. But with the trade

2037
01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 2: deadline looming in Major League base but I'd be remiss,

2038
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 2: you know, go back to the the off season with

2039
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 2: contracts being signed and players of a of a certain

2040
01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 2: reper not necessarily getting the down distance dollar amounts that

2041
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:10,120
Speaker 2: everybody expected. That's agent Scott Morris and his clients were

2042
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:12,680
Speaker 2: the last to come off the market. One of those

2043
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 2: guys was Blake Snell coming off of cy Young campaign,

2044
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:19,760
Speaker 2: got a two year deal and opt out after one.

2045
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 2: And he's over in San Francisco. And I bring this up, Ryan,

2046
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 2: because well, since he returned from the the injured list,

2047
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:31,639
Speaker 2: no longer the disabled list, multiple appearances on the injured

2048
01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 2: list this year. The last four starts, he's compiled a

2049
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:41,799
Speaker 2: point seven five ERA. Yesterday against the Rockies six innings,

2050
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 2: two hit ball, fifteen strikeouts.

2051
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:49,759
Speaker 4: Outing. Before that against the Dodgers six innings, two earned

2052
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:54,479
Speaker 4: Before that against Minnesota seven shutout innings, and then go

2053
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 4: back to his return from the injury list after he

2054
01:41:56,760 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 4: missed a month, five innings, no runs. Last there's a

2055
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 4: man who really knows that he can command a lot

2056
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 4: of stuff on the trade market and get himself into

2057
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 4: a new contract really fast. Uh So, when we had

2058
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,800
Speaker 4: the oblique and the groin injury, I mean that the

2059
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 4: tests are going to be inconclusive, like we talked about

2060
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 4: with some of those backscans in the NBA. Ryan, and

2061
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,560
Speaker 4: I think mister Snell has played this and gamed this beautifully.

2062
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, it sounds sounds a little fitchy

2063
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 3: to me. You're right sound, I mean, I.

2064
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 2: Know, I generally don't want to question guys you but

2065
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:35,200
Speaker 2: when it comes to a thing like this where it's like,

2066
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 2: all right, you've got the opt out at the end

2067
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 2: of the year, your team's not good.

2068
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, let's let's raise our hand and go. Uh

2069
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 4: now you're healthy. As the trade deadline looms, hey.

2070
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 5: Man, nothing like a little motivation. And again, you don't

2071
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 5: know what's going on behind the scenes, but sometimes, you know,

2072
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,640
Speaker 5: motivation is everything. Going into a contract year, guys are

2073
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 5: going to play their best. Hey you want to get

2074
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 5: out of a situation, You're gonna be motivad You know,

2075
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 5: I've been there before and again other teams are evaluating you,

2076
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 5: and my agent, you know, would be telling me, hey man,

2077
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,040
Speaker 5: they want to see if you can do this, this

2078
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 5: or this, to see if they fit. I remember the

2079
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 5: most bold I don't know if ever told you, the

2080
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:19,320
Speaker 5: most bold and most honest thing that I have ever

2081
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 5: been told in an NBA locker room.

2082
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 3: I was in Charlotte and we step in.

2083
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 5: I think it's my third year in the NBA, young,

2084
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 5: bushy eyed you know right, you I know what's going

2085
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 5: on and Larry Brown told us he said, hey, guys,

2086
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 5: when you get in the game, play well so I

2087
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 5: can trade you.

2088
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 3: I kid you not, that's exactly it's exactly what but

2089
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 3: it was true.

2090
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 4: Awesome, it was true.

2091
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 9: Right?

2092
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 3: What could I say back to that? He said, play

2093
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 3: well so I could trade you?

2094
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 4: And he did, Oh, that's fantastic. What did you do

2095
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 4: in that game?

2096
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 9: Like?

2097
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 4: How did that go over in the locker room?

2098
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 3: For one?

2099
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, what did you show out

2100
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 4: in that game?

2101
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:00,639
Speaker 5: I played pretty well. I'll never forget where in New Orleans.

2102
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 5: I will never forget that. And that is what Larry said,

2103
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:06,000
Speaker 5: Play well so I can trade you. And I ended

2104
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 5: up playing well and he sent us all to nice destinations.

2105
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 5: But like it's like, I'm selling you guys up. You

2106
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 5: guys better be playing hard so I can get you

2107
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 5: somewhere nice.

2108
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 4: Put something good on film.

2109
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 3: I did that.

2110
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at this is something we talked about with

2111
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 2: Snell when it happened that. I thought the contract was

2112
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 2: genius because really the guys only pitched well consistently a

2113
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,599
Speaker 2: couple times a year, and it's ended up with cy

2114
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 2: Young Awards. Otherwise, he's been fairly pedestrian pitcher, So keep

2115
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 2: him on a contract where he's got to earn the

2116
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 2: next one is not a bad way, bad way to go.

2117
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 2: And with the two year deal that Boris and he

2118
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 2: signed with the Giants, while that put him directly into

2119
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 2: a contract here, and while he didn't show out much

2120
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 2: through July first, this last month suddenly he rockets to

2121
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 2: the top of all the lists. Right because school in

2122
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 2: Detroit sounds like, you know, it's more likely than not

2123
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:05,759
Speaker 2: he stays in Detroit.

2124
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 4: Chicago.

2125
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 2: You've got Crochet who you know, with the conversations you

2126
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 2: and I have had, it's one of my favorites is

2127
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 2: he's got of putting out demands of what he wants

2128
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 2: in terms of his role and opportunity and contract, et cetera.

2129
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 2: It's like, you don't get to flex very often. So

2130
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 2: if you suddenly are the top guy or one of

2131
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:26,599
Speaker 2: the top two pitchers on the marketplace, you might as

2132
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 2: well shoot your shot.

2133
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 5: That's about right, and there's a big value there. Hey,

2134
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 5: look at the kids, you know, a little little similar

2135
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 5: with this the transfer portal, man, they've kind of mist value,

2136
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 5: you know, because you know, other coaches are desperate and

2137
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 5: they're looking for somebody and I remember also in Charlotte,

2138
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 5: the Nazi Muhammad, one of my favorite veterans, my guy.

2139
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 5: I remember him telling me they don't appreciate you here,

2140
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 5: and when you get somewhere else, they're gonna appreciate you,

2141
01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 5: you know, for what you do. And sometimes you do

2142
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 5: have to go somewhere else to be appreciated. Now, I

2143
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 5: didn't know. Nassy didn't tell me this would be nine

2144
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 5: teams within my ten years. But this was the true

2145
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:11,679
Speaker 5: pro experience in the NBA.

2146
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 2: Well, but I mean that becomes Look, you were sought

2147
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 2: after that many times, right, Like, there's many ways to

2148
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,640
Speaker 2: look at it. That means there were multiple teams that

2149
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,640
Speaker 2: decided you were a piece of a puzzle they were

2150
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 2: trying to build. Oh yeah, well here's the thing, and

2151
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 2: you collected checks for it, right.

2152
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 5: So and Charlotte, a lot of the guys were young

2153
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 5: and athletic, and I got to you know, Dallas and

2154
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,560
Speaker 5: they were a little older and Eric Dan Pierre was

2155
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 5: the center, and it was it was kind of like, wow,

2156
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 5: look how high he jumps, Look how fast he is.

2157
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,800
Speaker 5: And it's like Charlotte had enough fast guys who can

2158
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 5: run and jump, so you know, they they they didn't

2159
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:52,640
Speaker 5: need me, you know, not that they didn't need me,

2160
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 5: but they didn't. That wasn't a position that needed to

2161
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 5: be filled, you know, so to speak. So you know

2162
01:46:59,880 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 5: it is true, you know, it always good to be appreciated.

2163
01:47:03,640 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 4: Well, But look like anything like our business here, you know,

2164
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 4: in radio, television and media, or you know, wherever you're working,

2165
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 4: however you're you're getting through out there, we appreciate you

2166
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 4: being part of the extended family. If you got us

2167
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 4: on in the workplace, you've got us on at home

2168
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,080
Speaker 4: as you're making breakfast or sitting having a cup of

2169
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:24,960
Speaker 4: coffee or just lounging watching some of this Olympic action

2170
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 4: or whatever, playing some video games.

2171
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 2: We appreciate you. But however, you make your money right.

2172
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 2: You know, when there's a change in management, and it's

2173
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 2: certainly in sports a lot of teams, patience is a

2174
01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 2: very it's a four letter word for lack of a

2175
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 2: better way to describe it. And usually when new management

2176
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 2: and new coaches come in, they want players in their mold.

2177
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 3: Right.

2178
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 2: Tom Thibodeaux playing and coaching in New York, right, he

2179
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:56,559
Speaker 2: just signed a three year contract extension. There's a certain

2180
01:47:56,600 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 2: type of player for a Tom Thibodeau system, which means

2181
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 2: if you're not one of those guys, you're not gonna

2182
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 2: be there. That's just the way it works. Not that

2183
01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 2: you did anything wrong or you played poorly, just you

2184
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 2: don't fit. You know, you're the square block into the

2185
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:16,719
Speaker 2: round hole, or whatever the case may be, whatever analogy

2186
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 2: you want to use, which means there's probably one of

2187
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 2: other twenty nine other teams that's going to take a look.

2188
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't give Tims anybody injury prone.

2189
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 2: Well he also he also ain't helping that, right, the

2190
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:34,520
Speaker 2: style they play. Having watched that in Chicago, in Minnesota

2191
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 2: and certainly in New York, you know what might have

2192
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 2: been had these guys not had injury after injury.

2193
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 3: Oh so that's still like a thing.

2194
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, did they win it all? I think the

2195
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:50,599
Speaker 2: only I think, I think the only way that goes

2196
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 2: away is when you win it all.

2197
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 5: Well, they were I mean they were good, they were competitive. Hey,

2198
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:58,799
Speaker 5: New York the best season they've had.

2199
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 2: A hundred percent, very nice, right since ninety nine, or

2200
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:04,840
Speaker 2: if you really want to go back, it's the ninety.

2201
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:08,439
Speaker 4: Four o J Chase. Oh my gosh, Well, it's true

2202
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 4: they were relegated to the smaller window against.

2203
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 2: The white Bronco, just just a you know, a little reference.

2204
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:18,960
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give it the historical calm you did,

2205
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, comparison. Definitely did that in reference, been a

2206
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 2: long time, okay, when Seinfeld first came out.

2207
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 4: No, that's not fun.

2208
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 2: Touch point in our lives, Ryan Hollins. We got to

2209
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 2: go back to the common experience.

2210
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 4: That's what we need.

2211
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 2: But you know what, we we've got a time out

2212
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:42,840
Speaker 2: on the court here US and Serbia, so that means

2213
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: we should probably take a t o here. We'll get

2214
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 2: it over to Nick Cope because he's going to give

2215
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 2: us the update because there's a player in particular involved

2216
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 2: in this play that we didn't know he was gonna see.

2217
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,679
Speaker 2: He's like a sasquatching Yetty And no, I'm not talking

2218
01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 2: about Nick Cope. It's about this player.

2219
01:49:57,360 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: How you doing, Nick?

2220
01:49:58,360 --> 01:49:58,679
Speaker 4: Great?

2221
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, Kevin Durant just got shoulder checked in the open

2222
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 11: floor and transition. And so this play is being reviewed

2223
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,560
Speaker 11: for an intentional foul. Steve Kerr making the X with

2224
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 11: his arms.

2225
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 4: I know he's not celebrating.

2226
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:15,679
Speaker 2: Michael Irvin in former Dallas Cowboys wide receivers DZ Bryant.

2227
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

2228
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 4: He used to put the X up.

2229
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 3: Come on.

2230
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:23,640
Speaker 11: It's twenty to twenty late in the first quarter, and

2231
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 11: it doesn't look like they're gonna upgrade this foul and

2232
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 11: Steve Kerr not happy about it. Less than a minute Togo,

2233
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 11: but yes, Kevin Durant has checked in and immediately hit

2234
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 11: a three. And the US they are shooting threes better

2235
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,439
Speaker 11: than twos so far in this game. They are six

2236
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 11: of ten from the outside, just two of seven from

2237
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 11: inside the arc. Devin Booker's knocked down a couple threes

2238
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:49,680
Speaker 11: and Kevin Durant has knocked down a couple as well.

2239
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 11: The live stats just in front of the TV feed

2240
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 11: there is Durant gives the US the lead. Lebron James

2241
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 11: has five points. Nicole Jokich of four Serbia just three

2242
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 11: points for him so far. He's been on the bench

2243
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 11: in the US has been able to make a run.

2244
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 11: So it's now twenty three to twenty closing stages of

2245
01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 11: the first quarter. All right, Women's gymnastics. Simone Biles she

2246
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:13,200
Speaker 11: had to deal with some discomfort in her left calf,

2247
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,600
Speaker 11: but you wouldn't know it. She was dominant in qualifying

2248
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 11: for the all around finals. She joins reigning all around

2249
01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:22,640
Speaker 11: gold medalist Sunny Lee and representing the US on the

2250
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 11: individual side. USA gymnastics coach to Ciel Landy said there

2251
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 11: was no talk about Biles needing to pull out of

2252
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 11: the competition. Team USA also, of course qualified for the

2253
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 11: team final. In women's mountain biking, American Hayley Batton took

2254
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 11: home silver. That's the best result for the US in

2255
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 11: Olympic mountain Viking Team. USA currently leads all nations with

2256
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:45,839
Speaker 11: six total medals.

2257
01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:47,880
Speaker 1: In terms of gold medals, still a.

2258
01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 11: Tie at the tip between Australia and China they each

2259
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 11: have three. You got the US women's soccer team in

2260
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 11: group play coming up at three Eastern and they're taking

2261
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 11: on Germany. We saw women's rugby sevens. The US dominated Japan.

2262
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 11: Some really fun highlights there if you want to check

2263
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,960
Speaker 11: that out. In baseball, the Mets have acquired veteran autfielder

2264
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:13,719
Speaker 11: Jesse Winker from the Nats, and the Padres have acquired

2265
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 11: reliever Jason Adam from the Rays. When we got about

2266
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 11: a little more than fifty hours until the trade deadline

2267
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:24,760
Speaker 11: coming up on Tuesday evening, Mike Harmon, Ryan Holmes take

2268
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:25,080
Speaker 11: it away.

2269
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 4: Thanks so much. Nick at the news desk a very

2270
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 4: active day, constant updates. But Ryan, have you seen the

2271
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:35,040
Speaker 4: replay of the Kevin Durant play?

2272
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 3: No, I said, just saw him hit a three.

2273
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 2: I am all right, so you've been. You haven't gotten

2274
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:45,599
Speaker 2: to the shouldering in the fact that that wasn't upgraded.

2275
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 2: Kind of confusing again where we're calling some touch files

2276
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,679
Speaker 2: as Anthony Davis just had to check out after picking

2277
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,200
Speaker 2: up his second But to the roster construction, which we've

2278
01:52:55,880 --> 01:53:00,559
Speaker 2: talked about for quite a while. The amount of Joe Embiid,

2279
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to say slander, but discussion. Right he

2280
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 2: pops up into all conversations, and right now it's say,

2281
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 2: why is Steve Kerr being loyal to him? Last night

2282
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 2: when Robert Downey Junior was unmasked as the new Doctor Doom.

2283
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 2: The amount of times in my timeline the Robert Downey

2284
01:53:19,560 --> 01:53:22,639
Speaker 2: Junior died in endgame and came back as a villain

2285
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 2: before Joel Embiid led the Sixers to anything substantive I

2286
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 2: thought was a kind of funny little tie together out

2287
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 2: of timelines. Wow wow, Yeah, catching strays all over from

2288
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 2: the sports and entertainment here it is Robert Downey Junior's

2289
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:43,320
Speaker 2: character died and he came back to play a new

2290
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 2: main character. All before Joel Embiid made a conference finals.

2291
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 2: And there's a ton of them and right now it's

2292
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 2: it's been overrun with Would you please just make the

2293
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 2: man sit down? How many promises were made to Joel

2294
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:57,719
Speaker 2: Embiid about playing time and starting?

2295
01:53:59,120 --> 01:53:59,880
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the question.

2296
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:04,200
Speaker 3: Steve Ker had to be had to be of course,

2297
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 3: of course, you know.

2298
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,599
Speaker 5: And and he's unique, you know, and look at look

2299
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:13,680
Speaker 5: at jo Kicch and you know the French boys over there,

2300
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:17,400
Speaker 5: Wimby and USA is going, man, we don't we don't

2301
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:21,519
Speaker 5: have any in the The only other big that I

2302
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:23,799
Speaker 5: think the USA can get is Miles Turner.

2303
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:26,799
Speaker 4: There you go, call for reserves.

2304
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, I know.

2305
01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:31,959
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is that it's it's slim pickings,

2306
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:35,440
Speaker 5: you know. So no, Embiid is definitely the guy. You know,

2307
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 5: you're you're happy to have him. Hey, I'd rather have

2308
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 5: him than not have him.

2309
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 2: So you know, there you go, He's got to be

2310
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:45,600
Speaker 2: an nil situation. We can recruit more bigs to become

2311
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 2: us guys going forward. What do you got per fet

2312
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:52,520
Speaker 2: i was gonna say like Embiid, wasn't he like first

2313
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:56,000
Speaker 2: being looked at for Team France and France told said no,

2314
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 2: like France who could absolutely use players like Embiid, were

2315
01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 2: like no, no, thank you, we don't need this. Like

2316
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 2: I think that could have been a warning sign there.

2317
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, well, I mean obviously enough they got they

2318
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: do have bigs, that's one thing. They're fine, But I

2319
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 2: mean the personality and everything and the style of play,

2320
01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:21,960
Speaker 2: right because Wenby gets after it. Hell, he brings the

2321
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 2: ball up oftentimes, so you know you've got you got

2322
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 2: a little bit of a different style. But again, you

2323
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 2: know his personality. You're either in or you're out. So yeah,

2324
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 2: it's it's one of those I think we'll get more

2325
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: stories as we go. It's kind of like trying to

2326
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 2: get to the truth again of that whole uh defection

2327
01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:44,720
Speaker 2: and departing of Kawhi Leonard from USA basketball this year

2328
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 2: as well. Latest update go tying together the Blake Snell stuff.

2329
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:55,520
Speaker 2: The Yankees now checking in on Snell's availability, per John Hayman.

2330
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 2: So just a matter of twenty four hours, goes from ah,

2331
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 2: he's kind of out there. Oh, another dominant start. Yeah,

2332
01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 2: he becomes the top of the metal stand another three

2333
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:09,880

Speaker 2: Ryan Hollins, because it would seem to me much of

2340
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 2: this is self inflicted and he did it for love.

2361
01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:43,080
Speaker 2: Durant be available?

2362
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 4: Yes? How will he play?

2363
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:49,920
Speaker 2: He dominated, and he checked out. I watched him with

2364
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 2: a smile on his face the entire time, like a

2365
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:55,920
Speaker 2: kid in a candy store, exciting the crowd. Fourteen points

2366
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:58,920
Speaker 2: off the bench, five of five perfect from three point

2367
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 2: range of full four for four before heading back to

2368
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 2: the bench with every one of his star teammates just

2369
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:10,280
Speaker 2: shaking their heads in disbelief of just what they just witnessed.

2370
01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:13,200
Speaker 5: Oh, he's got He's got to sit back and watch

2371
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 5: with a clear lens and kind of see how he

2372
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 5: can be effective. And Kevin Durantz one of the biggest

2373
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 5: cheek hoods to ever play the game. Man, he's unguardable

2374
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:24,800
Speaker 5: with his side. You can't put somebody small on him

2375
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:27,880
Speaker 5: because he's he's gonna shoot right over him. He puts

2376
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 5: somebody big, he's gonna make you have to run around

2377
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,839
Speaker 5: and chase him. And then you know, with Team USA,

2378
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,400
Speaker 5: spreading the floor and shooting comes at a premium. But yeah,

2379
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:37,960
Speaker 5: I mean he just you're right. He looked excellent, and

2380
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 5: he looked in rhythm. And then Serbia's going, you don't

2381
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 5: know what to do. Do I double them? Do I

2382
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:44,840
Speaker 5: go get the ball out of his hands?

2383
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 8: You know?

2384
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 5: How do we kind of match up with a guy

2385
01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 5: like Kevin Durant. But again, what's nice is when you're

2386
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 5: moving the ball, he's so tall. If you're not connected,

2387
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 5: he'll breathe right and it's a short it's a short

2388
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:59,840
Speaker 5: three at that Kevin Durant's laughing like this is out.

2389
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I got a students of mid range for me.

2390
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 2: Mid range jumpers. Ten point lead, about five minutes left

2391
01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 2: in the second quarter. Quote last year was pretty taxing

2392
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:13,080
Speaker 2: on my body. I've had more snaps than a lot

2393
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 2: of guys, if not anybody in the NFL over the

2394
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,520
Speaker 2: past five six years. I'm prideful of that, but I

2395
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:21,400
Speaker 2: know it's taken a toll on my body. Travis Kelcey

2396
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Speaker 2: meeting with reporters, is going to turn thirty five in October,

2397
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:29,120
Speaker 2: acknowledging the challenges and Patrick Mahomes addressed this a little

2398
01:59:29,160 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 2: bit earlier in the week, Ryan, when he was talking

2399
01:59:32,360 --> 01:59:34,920
Speaker 2: about the year that they had on Evenness, we saw

2400
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people trying to bury them before they

2401
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:40,680
Speaker 2: went on a run. Was it an uneven season?

2402
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2403
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 2: Was it clinically the most deficient year? No, not at all,

2404
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 2: which means you missed the opportunity, perhaps because now they

2405
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 2: come back, but talking about being a training camp and sanctuary,

2406
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 2: Saint Joe's year twelve, all of those things, but also

2407
01:59:58,560 --> 02:00:03,000
Speaker 2: just the body and the taxing of his body over

2408
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:06,280
Speaker 2: the year. And he did that for football, but then

2409
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 2: he also did it on tour for the last several months,

2410
02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 2: running back and forth, where maybe it wasn't the normal

2411
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:15,960
Speaker 2: off season of rest, recovery, relaxation. But you know, Ryan,

2412
02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:18,600
Speaker 2: he did it for love. As he goes into this

2413
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 2: next year with the Chiefs.

2414
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean he's definitely the artuably the most

2415
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 5: popular NFL player right he revolves today right.

2416
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:33,240
Speaker 2: Now, and then you'd be remiss if you didn't push

2417
02:00:33,320 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 2: out whatever eighty seven merch you could right now, Well, he.

2418
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:39,480
Speaker 5: Just watched his brother retire, and you know he's getting

2419
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,000
Speaker 5: to that point he's saying, what else do I have

2420
02:00:41,120 --> 02:00:46,400
Speaker 5: to do? Whereas the you know, the motivation, I've achieved everything.

2421
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:50,240
Speaker 5: And you know, hey, he's probably doing more for the

2422
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 5: NFL right now than the NFL is doing for him.

2423
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 5: And that's telling them the truth. And you know, you

2424
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 5: can argue easily with no Gronkowski. Kelsey by far the

2425
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:02,120
Speaker 5: best tight end in the NFL. And hey, you're gonna

2426
02:01:02,120 --> 02:01:05,240
Speaker 5: even Hey, would you dare to say most valuable? Would

2427
02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:09,360
Speaker 5: you rather take Justin Jefferson or Devonte Adams or Kelsey?

2428
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:11,600
Speaker 5: Kelsey burns up the middle of the field, man, And

2429
02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 5: I mean you just really see his value and that

2430
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 5: he can probably play at that level.

2431
02:01:16,720 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 3: We'll we say one of the four or five years

2432
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 3: if he stays healthy.

2433
02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's all about staying healthy, all about you know,

2434
02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:24,640
Speaker 2: not taking the big bumps and working over the middle.

2435
02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:27,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw what happened and Gronkowski came in.

2436
02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 2: You know, a guy with legitimate back concerns coming out

2437
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:33,520
Speaker 2: of college. I gotta throw that in because you know,

2438
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:37,440
Speaker 2: it's a running thread of back injuries where well maybe

2439
02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:38,880
Speaker 2: not so much, maybe you just need a day off.

2440
02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 2: But when it comes down to it, a guy with

2441
02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:45,760
Speaker 2: a long, illustrious career, and Kelsey's operated in a lot

2442
02:01:46,280 --> 02:01:49,480
Speaker 2: of his time the same way as Gronkowski. Right, it's

2443
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:53,760
Speaker 2: the keep moving, get open because eventually Patrick's gonna find you,

2444
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 2: just like Brady and Gronkowski did for so many years.

2445
02:01:57,320 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm still questioning, you know, whether Jason kill

2446
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,880
Speaker 2: else he still has the itch to be out there

2447
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 2: and how much he'll miss it because he was still

2448
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:08,400

Speaker 2: more curiosity about whatever discord was going on in Philadelphia

2450
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,280
Speaker 2: last year. But for Travis Kelcey and the Chiefs, another

2451
02:02:15,680 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 2: opportunity and they'll get tested, no question about it, because

2452
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:21,320
Speaker 2: just like Team USA, you're gonna get everybody's best shot.
