Speaker 3: So it was only and we've worked together on NFL projects.

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: It was about time that you came to mind.

Speaker 5: Yeah, so happy to be here. You come and drop

00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: knowledge on the gen z I do.

75
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: I do. It's fun.

76
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get started in the NFL obviously, because we

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: have all the preseason games going on right now and

78
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: we are officially nineteen days away from NFL kickoff, nineteen

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: days away season opener.

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: Ravens at Chiefs.

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: Chiefs are going to raise that banner that solidified their

82
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: dynasty because, let's be honest, that third super Bowl solidifies

83
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: the dynasty. We've gone into like deep arguments about that

84
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: three and you can call yourself that. Mahomies also agreed

85
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: on that too, So.

86
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: I would think Mahomes would agree on that.

87
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 6: Yeah.

88
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: You well, when it was two, he was like, no,

89
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: we need one more before you can call it adynaty Okay,

90
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: So now that we're in week two of preseason. We're

91
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: starting to see the starters get some playing time, especially

92
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: the new young guys. So we're gonna do a little

93
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: quarterback check in because we have some quarterback competitions, some injuries,

94
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: some question marks. But we're going to start with a

95
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: team that I've kind of had my eye on all

96
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: off season, the Steelers. Okay, they currently have two starting

97
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: quarterbacks right now, right Russell Wilson, Justin Fields. Now, Justin

98
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: got the reps last week. Did not look great, did

99
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: not do himself any favors. Mike Tomlins said after the game.

100
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: I thought he did some nice things, but obviously he

101
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: was a component of the CQ center quarterback exchange. From

102
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: my perspective, that's a dual responsibility on the center and

103
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: the quarterback, and it negated a lot of good things

104
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: on those first couple of drives.

105
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: So it was, like I said, backhanded compliment, well because

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: it kind of was, because like he didn't it wasn't bad.

107
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: It was five of six, sixty seven yards, zero t show,

108
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: zero interceptions, He had won thirteen point two passer rating,

109
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: but he fumbled a couple of those snaps, sacked twice. Luckily,

110
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: didn't lose possession when he was sacked, so it was like, ah,

111
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: it wasn't horrible, but.

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't like he's the future. It wasn't great.

113
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: And the reason that Justin got that first preseason start

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: is because Russell Wilson has been out with a calf injury.

115
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: But tonight we're going to see Russ take the field

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: in about three hours. And the question here is how

117
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: big of a statement does Russ need to make tonight?

118
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: And I think he needs to make a really big statement.

119
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: It felt like during camp Fields was kind of closing

120
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: the gap on that quarterback competition, and after that Week

121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: one performance, Russ has the opportunity to come in there

122
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: tonight and kind of sway it back in his direction

123
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: to be the main QB one because you could to remember,

124
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: the Steelers don't have loyalty to either of these guys,

125
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: not Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. The Broncos are actually

126
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: still paying Russell Wilson thirty nine million dollars to play

127
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: for the Steelers. The Steelers are only playing him like

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: a vetment amoum a little over a million dollars?

129
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Right?

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: So what we do know Russ has a super Bowl.

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: Obviously he has the experience, he is a veteran in

132
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: this league. But we have not seen that Russell Wilson

133
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 3: in a couple of years, in many years, in many years.

134
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: And I feel like when he went to Denver in

135
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 4: those first couple of games, it was like, Wow, the

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: Seahawks really fleees the Broncos here. And we haven't seen

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: the Russell Wilson that we've seen before. So he has

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: to make a statement and he has to prove that

139
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: he's lack for lack of better term, he's still got

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: it because right now he does not. And the fact

141
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: that the Steelers are paying him thirty nine million dollars

142
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: to play I'm sorry the Broncos, Yeah, they have thirty

143
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: nine million dollars to play for another.

144
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 7: Team says a lot everything. It's everything.

145
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: So I think this is a huge statement game for

146
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. This cannot be well, it's just preseason. It

147
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: can't be that kind of game. It has to be

148
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: a huge statement game. It's also kind of a huge

149
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: statement game for the Steelers because they have these two

150
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that people consider two qb ones, this controversy. What

151
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: are they going to do if they're both not good,

152
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: then what are they going to do?

153
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 8: You do?

154
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: What do you do?

155
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 6: What do you do?

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean, one of them has to pan out, right,

157
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: especially with theory like Mike Tomlin, a defensive minded coach

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: like you kind of just got to be a plug

159
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: and play guy. You can't do what Fields did in

160
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: the first game. You can't be fumbling passes. You got

161
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: to try to avoid the sack. I just the other

162
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: thing that comes into play here is that we know

163
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: that Russell Wilson doesn't really have that locker room chemistry

164
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: with his teammates, right and we hear that from his

165
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: past teammates both on Seattle and in Denver, and justin

166
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: Fields does his teammates and locker room in Chicago loved him.

167
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: So if it's close, well.

168
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: If it's close to have somebody still towards the beginning

169
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: of his career, somebody that the Steelers could in theory

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: develop and will yeah, and you could make the decision that,

171
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: you know what, We're gonna go with Fields because he

172
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: could be the future. Russell Wilson is the past, even

173
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: though he's only been there for a minute.

174
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: But but he's a Super Bowl what quarterback? But can

175
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: be great. He's a veteran. We've seen like we've seen

176
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: peak Russell Wilson. Can he get even close? Can he

177
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: halfway to that peak? Can he get halfway there this season?

178
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: Because it was a disaster in Denver. It was possibly

179
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: like career tarnishing performance disaster in Denver. I have a

180
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: friend who's a Steelers fan, and he feels like Russ

181
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: is gonna come in there and cook and he's gonna

182
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: be It's gonna be all. And I'm like, I'm a

183
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: Steelers fan, but I think he's like he's sad over

184
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: the last several years of the season.

185
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 7: And I said to him, I think it's really great.

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: You think that.

187
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: I think that's a good way to start the season.

188
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: I just I just don't know if it's true. But

189
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: you know what, we're gonna find out. I don't think

190
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: we're gonna know everything tonight. No, we're gonna get an idea.

191
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 2: Again, it's his first preseason game action.

192
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: But if we start, if it's not great and then

193
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: the calf injury starts getting blamed, that is the writing.

194
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 8: On the wall.

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: Well, this is what we saw with Joe Burrow.

196
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: I think it was maybe last season Yeah, started with

197
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: a calf injury during preseason, and calf injuries are tricky,

198
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: they are they're.

199
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 7: Easily Yeah, they go easily reinjured.

200
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: You think you might be better, and then you do

201
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: some sort of a cut and sprint and then it's

202
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: like back to ground zero. So this is where when

203
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: people were bagging on the Steelers and the Falcons for having.

204
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: Two starting quarterbacks.

205
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: Why is it a bad thing to have two of

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: the best, like the most important position on your team,

207
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: to be rich in that position. I think it's smart. Yeah,

208
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: it's a backup plan. Everybody has. Everybody has life insurance,

209
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: everybody has car insurance, everybody at home insurance.

210
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: This is insurance for your franchise.

211
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: Well, if you look at the forty nine Ers in

212
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, Trey Lance goes down in week two

213
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: and they have Jimmy Garoppolo who designed a few weeks earlier.

214
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: He's having like the best season of his life.

215
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 2: He goes down.

216
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: In December, Rock Perty comes in. Who's who is now

217
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: obviously their franchise quarterback?

218
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 9: Yep.

219
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: And then in the NFC Champiship game, Rock Purdy goes

220
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: down and then Josh Jaunson goes down with a concussion.

221
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: Brock Purtty is to come.

222
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you can never have an.

223
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 7: You can never get point to the story now and.

224
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 10: You should be grooming them all. But it's probably going

225
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 10: to be a carousel. I think it's going to be

226
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 10: a carousel this season between the two.

227
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: Of them, which could be dangerous, because that can be dangerous.

228
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: Do I think Fields is starting game one? No, but

229
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: I do think it's something to keep an eye on that.

230
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: If Russ struggles, Yes, go, I think the locker room's

231
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: going to be fighting for it. Fans are going to

232
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: be fighting for it. Let's see what Justin Fields do

233
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: can do. Okay, let's move to the Vikings. You the

234
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: heartbreaking news this week, you guys, they're game starting in

235
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: about fifteen minutes. JJ McCarthy out for the season with

236
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: a torn meniscus in his right kney, coming off of

237
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: Natty at Michigan, which he was their first round pick.

238
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 3: Tenth overall. This is a It's a huge hit in

239
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: the sense that there was so much excitement, so much

240
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: anticipation that I feel it just kind of takes the

241
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: wind out of their out of their sales. Tracy, that's

242
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: a Michigan fan. I know you're like, big she's wearing

243
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 3: a JJ McCarthy.

244
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, for those of you who I have a custom designed.

245
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 3: Sweatch here today. But I know this has to hurt

246
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: as a as a mission girl.

247
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Oh it breaks my heart.

248
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 4: First of all, I have been a diehard, lifelong Minnesota

249
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: Vikings fan since April twenty seventh, So it's just heartbreaking

250
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: for me. The last few months that I have put

251
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: into this team, I like read everything, I have turned

252
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 4: into a fan, and.

253
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 7: Now I'm like, I guess I'll see you next season.

254
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, his misera.

255
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 7: But it's gotta be devastating way and I just got that.

256
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: I thought you were like gonna say your birthday.

257
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: I've been a lifelong since in birthday, you know, since

258
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: the draft, since the draft second.

259
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Drag let me follow that got it ex one of

260
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: the draft. But this is devastating and it is devastating

261
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: for the Vikings.

262
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: Plus, he was showing a lot of promise and I

263
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: think one of this was when they drafted JJ. One

264
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 4: of the reasons the Vikings was great for him was

265
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 4: because he didn't have to start Week one. Yeah, he

266
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: didn't have to hand like Kayleb Williams.

267
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: It's like, here's the franchise and good luck, good luck.

268
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: Jaj didn't have that, but he was really coming into

269
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: his own. The players really liked him, the locker room

270
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: liked him. Justine Jefferson seemed to love him. People like

271
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: gravitating towards him. And the idea was that maybe no

272
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 4: offense to Sam Darnald, but that maybe he would start

273
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: mid season.

274
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 7: So now he also misses a whole season of learning.

275
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's huge, it's a big setback, and again,

276
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: is Sam Darnald the answer?

277
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't been a starter for a few years.

278
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: He was the backup in San Francisco last season, but

279
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: this kind of feels like Sam Donald's last dance as

280
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: starting spot. This is his fourth team in five years Jets, Panthers,

281
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers, now Vikings, and his best season record

282
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: was with the Jets in twenty nineteen, when he went

283
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: seven and six, his only season over three thousand passing yards,

284
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: nineteen touchdowns, and thirteen interceptions. So like he was a

285
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: third overall pick in twenty eighteen, he was supposed to be.

286
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got a usc girl and a Michigan girl

287
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 5: in the house.

288
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: Yes, he was supposed to be.

289
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: He was supposed to be a big deal and never

290
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: really lived up to those expectations. So now's a chance

291
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: for him to redeem himself. He has a talent around him.

292
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: He just mentioned everybody got Justin Jefferson, one of the

293
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 3: top wide receivers, Jordan Addison, their first pick this year,

294
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones coming over from Green Bay.

295
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: So, like you have, they.

296
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 4: Have a great defense and that can't be discounted. They're

297
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 4: very important, very really good head coach. This is his

298
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 4: best opportunity. I mean, unless if last year Brock had

299
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 4: gotten hurt and he came in.

300
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: I think that would have been a similar opportunity.

301
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 9: Huh.

302
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 4: But this is his best opportunity to succeed, and I

303
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 4: think unfortunately for Sam Darnald, he was victim of a

304
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: bad organization and years and years of that year.

305
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: So the circumstantial things he could not control.

306
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. But now it's been six years, so

307
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: can he come in? Do I think Sam Donald is

308
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: going to lead them to a Super Bowl? I do not,

309
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: But do I think that he will play well and

310
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: they can potentially succeed behind him.

311
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: Time will tell. I think it will. I think fine.

312
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: I think he has till November fifth, the trade deadline.

313
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that that's as much time as Sam

314
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: Darnold is going to have to figure it out too.

315
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: It's like, what you got to get someone else, you

316
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: just bring someone else in. If that's not working, and

317
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: you have as much talent as you do, you let

318
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: like you decided not to go with Kirk Cousins again,

319
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: you were moving on.

320
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: You have JJ McCarthy, your quarterback of the future.

321
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: Just coming off of Natty, everything was like things are

322
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: looking up, they're going great.

323
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson just got paid. This is going to be

324
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: our year. And then news hits.

325
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 10: It's like JJ oufers, this is why Atlanta looks good

326
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 10: when they get, you know, a quarterback in the draft.

327
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 5: Just what we were talking about. It's like, it's not

328
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: a bad place to be when you have a deep

329
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 5: quarterback room.

330
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: And obviously November fifth is is far away.

331
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: But I think what will become difficult is if there

332
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 4: they are struggling. How much do you give up for

333
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: a quarterback when your your future franchise quarterback is waiting.

334
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting.

335
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: A lot of things happen between now November fifth, We

336
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: will see how am Donald does. But I hope for

337
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: Sam Donald he does well because saying I covered him

338
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: in San Francisco, I want to see people and he's

339
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: a good guy and you do want to see him succeed.

340
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 4: And I wanted to do just well enough that they're

341
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: super happy with in this year, but not so well

342
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 4: that next year JJ.

343
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: Has to fight for his job.

344
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, she would like Tracy would like to still be

345
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 10: a Minnesota Vikings fan.

346
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: Well, she wants to be. She wants to see JJ

347
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: JJ starting. I mean, like, are we starting the JJ

348
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: fan club?

349
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it's been it was started a very.

350
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 10: She's already been recommendations of what to watch during recovery

351
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 10: and she is the driver of the movie recommendations.

352
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 5: Tracy, you sent him.

353
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: So he didn't send no movie.

354
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: On his Instagram story.

355
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: He asked in his Instagram story he took a question

356
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: boss and said, send your favorite movie right drops I

357
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: and major League.

358
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: Because that's funny.

359
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 7: He should be laughing, Bull Durham, he should be laughing.

360
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: He asking for baseball movies.

361
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: No, he just asked for movies. He'said, like, what are

362
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: everybody's favorite movie? I mean, it wasn't specific to me.

363
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: It's like a question, but what are your favorite I

364
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: did Barbie?

365
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: Okay, and then I can't remember what my fourth one?

366
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 10: That is a wide range, but I with Susan Sarandon

367
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 10: and Kevin Costner.

368
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: I didn't know what he'd be in the mood for.

369
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: Maybe he wanted to laugh, baby, wanted to cry. I

370
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: may have you wanted to give him some classics? Yeah,

371
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: and then Barbie, I mean another classic, yes that everyone

372
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: should be getting into.

373
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 7: I can't remember the fourth. Hey, JJ, if you're listening,

374
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 7: please let us know what the fourth one.

375
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 10: Also, have you.

376
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: Watched any JJ? And what do you think of a? Yeah?

377
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: Did you actually hear a great movie?

378
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: You should slide into his d ms and see what

379
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: movie suggestions He actually took from that entire Q and

380
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: A because now he's going to have some time.

381
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: Now he's now he's going to be on social more

382
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: than I thought. It was so sad.

383
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: It was a picture of him and his Vikings uniform

384
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: on the field with the question box and said what

385
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: are your favorite movies?

386
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: And it just really broke my ome.

387
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: So this was recent, It was like two days ago, okay,

388
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: so he knows, he knows it was. It was heartbreaking,

389
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: but not so heartbreaking that I couldn't send the man

390
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: some movie.

391
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that so much.

392
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a quick break here, but when we

393
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: come back, Dodgers can buy players, but they can't buy

394
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,520

419
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: not fun you guys? This one's tough for an LA

420
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: girl here. Okay, we are officially in the dog days

421
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: of summer for baseball. Both of my World Series picks

422
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: are looking like pretty good right now. Okay, both battling

423
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: for the top spots in the National League Dodgers American

424
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: League Yankees. Yeah yeah, yeah, come at me. Everyone came

425
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: at me before the season started. But hey, they have

426
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: some of the best players in the leagues on their team.

427
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: But let's start here in LA. Because the Dodgers, yeah,

428
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: it's been a roller coserve season. You know, they can't

429
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: buy They can buy players, but they cannot buy a break.

430
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: Let's start with the positive though, because they got Mookie

431
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: Bets back, Yes they did on Monday. What do you

432
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: do hit a home Er in his first game back,

433
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: like it. Just having him back in that lineup and

434
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: on the field is such an energy shift.

435
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: It changes everything. And then all of a sudden, you're now,

436
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: who do you pitch it to? You've got show Hey,

437
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: You've got Mooki, you have Freddie Freeman, you have to

438
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Oscar Hernandez.

439
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: Who are you pitching to?

440
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: You?

441
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Will Smith?

442
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 4: Even Will Smith's been a little struggling a little bit,

443
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 4: but he's still Will Smith, so he's gonna come alive

444
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: at any second. So it makes a huge difference. And

445
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: then in last night's game, Mooki had a huge home run, huge,

446
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: So just his presence is everything, and having him back

447
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: is everything. If they could just get their pitchers to

448
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: stay healthy, would so much.

449
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: That's that's the heartbreak. Another star went to the IL

450
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: last night. Tyler Glass now placed on the IL with

451
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: right elbow tendonitis, and he's been their ace and most

452
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: consistent arm this season. Now, the Dodgers are still in

453
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: first place in the NA, but Padres and d Backs

454
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: are right on their heels. I got a little bit

455
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: of a hot take here. Honestly, I think this is

456
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: the best thing that could happen for the Dodgers. I

457
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: agree down the stretch right, because let's think about it.

458
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: The last eleven years, the Dodgers have won the NLS

459
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: ten times. They've been one of the best regular season teams,

460
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: with only one World Series to show for it. In

461
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, they've had three straight one hundred plus win

462
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: seasons and haven't made it past the NLCS. My theory is,

463
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: when you clinch a playoff spot too early, I agree, right,

464
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: you aren't playing meaningful baseball down the stretch, and it's

465
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: really hard to flip that switch back on once the

466
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: playoffs momentum.

467
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: You can't.

468
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, in base if you are fighting for your life,

469
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: fighting for a spot in the postseason all the way

470
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: down to the end of September beginning of October when

471
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: the playoffs start, I think that could be the best

472
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 3: thing that's happened to the Dodgers. Hopefully they get some

473
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: of their guys back off the IL. Max Munsey should

474
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: be back any day now, he's had a couple of

475
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: rehab starts. Yamamoto should be back in time for a

476
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: playoff run. Hopefully Tyler glasnow only misses a couple of starts.

477
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: But I I agree with you I've been saying for

478
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: a while that I almost I almost don't want them

479
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: to win the division because I think the buye has

480
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 4: been bad for them.

481
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 2: It's been really bad. And I think the concern.

482
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: At this point, though, is that if they don't win

483
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: the division, they're going to play themselves right out of

484
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: the playoffs because everything is so close. But I have

485
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 4: been saying that for a while that that I think

486
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: it would almost be better because go back, go back

487
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: to twenty twenty one, and they did.

488
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: They were taken out in the NLCS.

489
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: They dealt with some injuries then, but they were neck

490
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 4: and neck with the Giants in the second half of

491
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: the season.

492
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: They lose a.

493
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 4: Division by one game, so they have to do the

494
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: one and done game, and they do that game, they

495
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: win it in the bottom of the ninth on a

496
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 4: Chris Taylor home run. But then they go then they

497
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: go to division series against the Giants that goes five games.

498
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 4: By the NLCS, they were kind of cooked and they

499
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: had some injury issues and that was that, but that

500
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: an exciting playoff run.

501
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 7: So I do think this is good for them.

502
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 4: Even if they win the division and they do have

503
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: a three run lead, they help themselves out on Friday,

504
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: and the Diamondbacks and Padres help them by losing on Friday,

505
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: So they've got their three game lead there.

506
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be tough this last month, but it's

507
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: good for them. They need to agree.

508
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: They definitely need it, and then hopefully they go into

509
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: the playoffs. And once the playoffs start in any sport, yes,

510
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: it's a fresh start.

511
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: It's a whole new thing. It's a new season.

512
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 4: So you put Glaza on the aisle. Now hopefully he

513
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 4: only does miss a couple starts. He's healthy for October.

514
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 4: We still don't know what's going on with Yamamoto. It's

515
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 4: gonna be an interesting month in a lot of ways.

516
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: For the Los Angeles Dodgers.

517
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: It's so tough.

518
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: There are two big arms that they needed, Like, could

519
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: you imagine having the starting rotation everybody healthy going into

520
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: the playoffs. That's that's how you go deep in the postseason.

521
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: So it's it's gonna be tough. Quick shout out to

522
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: the Yankees and their captain Aaron Judge. Fastest player ever

523
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: to reach three hundred home runs. He's the only player

524
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: to do it in under a thousand games.

525
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's like he is. He's an apple, he's

526
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: a monster, and he's huge.

527
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 5: He's huge, yes, all of it.

528
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: He's alive. Yeah.

529
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 3: So this is again, like I said before the season started,

530
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 3: I picked the two Powerhouse.

531
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: Like everyone said, it was a cop out to meet

532
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,240

Speaker 12: Yeah, Alex Tracy and idiot you just I mean what

549
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 12: we just saw right now in this NFL preseason game,

550
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 12: Patrick Mahomes went behind his back with.

551
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 5: A passos doing this.

552
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 6: Yes, of course to Kelsey.

553
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 12: Just a few plays ago, in this NFL preseason game

554
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 12: where the Chiefs are leading three to nothing against the Lions.

555
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 12: This is going to be making viral video status all

556
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 12: over your social media platforms. Patrick Mahomes completes a pass

557
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 12: running to his right out of the pocket, goes behind

558
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 12: his back as if he's got a basketball, and behind

559
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 12: the back pass yeah and finds Kelsey. Was an incredible play,

560
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 12: one of many that we've seen in this Chiefs game

561
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 12: so far. Meanwhile, Caleb Williams, making his soldier field debut

562
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 12: for the Bear struggled early when over three passing and

563
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 12: then since then had seventy five yards and a seven

564
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 12: yard scamper for a touchdown and the Bears winning convincingly

565
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 12: twenty seven to three against the Bengals. Also, the Ravens

566
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 12: with a thirteen to twelve win over the Falcons and

567
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 12: a lot of scuttle bought out after the game.

568
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 6: Where was Michael Pennick Junior? Why was he not playing?

569
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 5: Were he?

570
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 12: Morris telling team reporter Tory mcelhaney that the Pennick Junior

571
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 12: did not play, specifically because he had showed the team

572
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 12: enough in that first preseason game and felt no need

573
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 12: to play him again in preseason game number two. Also

574
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 12: to mention here, just gone final the Texans twenty eight

575
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 12: to ten winners against the Giants, and not the best

576
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 12: of performances to say the very least for Daniel Jones

577
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 12: two interceptions, one was a pick six, and he finished

578
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 12: with one hundred and thirty eight yards passing. C. J.

579
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 12: Stroud of course, got the starting notin for Houston, seven

580
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 12: of ten through the air eighty eight yards in limited

581
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 12: duty for him. And then lastly in Major League Baseball,

582
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 12: that Cubs Blue Jays game back up and running after

583
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 12: the weather delay. They're in the fifth and in Cubs

584
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 12: leading one to nothing, raised two to nothing in front

585
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 12: of the Diamondbacks. That's in the second. Also, we do

586
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 12: have a couple of finals. Two Dimension Pirates over the

587
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 12: Mariners seven to two. Y'all were talking about the Yankees

588
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 12: and they struggled in this game offensively. They fell on

589
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 12: the road to the Detroit Tigers four to nothing. With that,

590
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 12: let's get it back over to India. Tracy and Alex,

591
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,359

00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: She is one of the smartest minds on TV NFL Networks,

599
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: analytics expert, a best friend of the show, joining us

600
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: live from Denver right before she calls a Broncos game tomorrow.

601
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 9: Cynthia Freelan, Hi, Hello, guys.

602
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 8: Hi.

603
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: Did we make it safe and sound?

604
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Yes?

605
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 9: Perfect, safe and sound. It's like one hundred and fifty

606
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 9: degrees here, you know, it's enjoying some air conditioning before

607
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 9: we're going to go to the Rocky game tonight.

608
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of that Padres, right, yep,

609
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 3: Rocky Padres go Rockies. Okay, yeah, right, they're both Yeah. No,

610
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: we were just talking about the Dodgers both division matchup game.

611
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

612
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: But Cynthia, we've been hearing some great things about Bonix

613
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: from Broncos camp.

614
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: You've been there.

615
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 3: Sean Payton still hasn't really announced the Week one starter.

616
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: Is Nix the clear front runner right now for the Broncos?

617
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I don't.

618
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 9: Obviously I'm not, you know, reporting news here, there's no

619
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 9: Brick news, but in my opinion, it feels like it's

620
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 9: set up for him to succeed. I mean, it seems

621
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 9: like Garrett Stidham will be the number two and maybe

622
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 9: Zach Wilson will be looking for another home. But it's

623
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 9: it's unclear to me about the number two. But I

624
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 9: think the b Nicks situation will be from day one.

625
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 9: He will be their, their, their starter. He just it

626
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 9: feels like the offense is sort of tailored to what

627
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 9: Bonicks does really well. Remember, I think sometimes people forget

628
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 9: because he was in college for so long. He's also

629
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 9: like a really good runner. Here's like six hundred and

630
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 9: fifty starts in college, so you know, he's a really

631
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 9: good run. He's great rambling, and Sean complimented. The one

632
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 9: thing that made me feel like like the little clue

633
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 9: was when Sean complimented him saying he makes really good

634
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 9: decisions with the ball in his hands. He runs when

635
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 9: he has to, but not as like a crutch. And

636
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 9: he also said, like, you know, being smart about it

637
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 9: is what he looks foremost, and quote it reminded him

638
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 9: of Drewe.

639
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: That's so with that in mind, what is the vibe

640
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: Like there is a lighter vibe because I feel like

641
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: the last couple of years with Russell Wilson and Sean

642
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: Payton that obviously wasn't working just generally around the team.

643
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: What does the vibe feel like?

644
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 9: They're really young, so their rookie class. I mean, if

645
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 9: you're looking for a good fantasy pick in later rounds,

646
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 9: you want to pick Audric Estime. They're running back that

647
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 9: came from Notre Dame.

648
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: Right, set down everybody.

649
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then they also have like their they're one

650
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 9: of their wide receivers Vele who is a late round

651
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 9: pick as well. Like Sean likened this class himself to

652
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 9: like a very like an O six Saints draft, which

653
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 9: is very strong class. He's like, I'm not saying they're

654
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 9: as good, but I'm saying, like this is the type

655
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 9: of class where the late round guys are even going

656
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 9: to be contributing. So you know, it's young. So they

657
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 9: feel a lot different this season than last year or

658
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 9: the year prior, even when it was Nathaniel Hackett I

659
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 9: was the head coach. It's just a different like they're

660
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 9: just like having fun and they don't know what they

661
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 9: don't know, if that makes sense right, Like they feel

662
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 9: very like refreshed and a lot more it's a lot

663
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 9: lighter here than it was even too, you know, one

664
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 9: two seasons ago.

665
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of the secret sauce is that

666
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: most most winning championship teams are having fun. So what

667
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: would be considered a successful season for Sean Payton and

668
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: the Broncos.

669
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 9: Probably a nice trajectory up to the right for the quarterback,

670
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 9: and a lot of improvement in that run defense specifically.

671
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 9: In fact, the last at the end of the season

672
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 9: last year, the Broncos actually left the league left the

673
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 9: season with the number one third down defense, which was

674
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 9: kind of a surprise. They got better against the past,

675
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 9: and of course they've got Pat ser Chan back there

676
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 9: and a couple of great edge rushers. Baron Browning's now

677
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 9: fully healthy from the beginning of the season, so that's

678
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 9: going to make a difference. But the offense will need

679
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 9: to look a little more like growth oriented, right Like

680
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 9: I think running and the trenches will be where you

681
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 9: see the biggest source of improvement. I you know, there's

682
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 9: a team in red that's playing right now, that's in

683
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 9: division that's you know kind of they're not really I

684
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 9: don't think they're sitting there's being like, we need to

685
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 9: win the division. Nothing like that, right. I think they're saying,

686
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 9: can we have a situation where we're getting guys are

687
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 9: who are getting better and the quarterback decision we made

688
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 9: looks good and the guys like these draft picks that

689
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 9: we brought in not even necessarily expecting, you know, it

690
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 9: was like a fifth round pick like that. This is

691
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 9: this is not a you know, you're you're having people who.

692
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 8: Like you're getting.

693
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 9: You're getting a lot more out of where you drafted them,

694
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 9: especially considering they're still paying for Russell Wilson.

695
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 8: Who will be playing.

696
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: Million. That's going to be an interesting week too.

697
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 9: We too, they play Russell. So my like that, you

698
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 9: know my conspiracy theory. My conspiracy theory is that Russell

699
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 9: Wilson will start in Pittsburgh until Week two and then

700
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 9: week three and BC two will be at justin Field.

701
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: Oh. I like that. That's a good conspiracy theory. I've

702
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: been saying Field is going to get in pretty soon too.

703
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: So we've been talking a lot on the show about

704
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 4: quarterback injuries, and you mentioned that you think Jared Senden

705
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: will be QB two. Zach Wilson's going to have to

706
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 4: find a new home. I would just like to know

707
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 4: how that competition is going and what is it like,

708
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: what has Zach Wilson been like there? Is he embracing

709
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: this new team?

710
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: Is he being.

711
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 7: Similar to what he was like in New York?

712
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: But I think QB two has become a really important

713
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 4: position in the NFL because guys get into a lot.

714
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: So I would just love to know a little bit

715
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: more about that competition.

716
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the thing that I learned about Zach Wilson,

717
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 9: I know I've seen him with the Jets preseason prior.

718
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 9: He's not I mean, he's getting.

719
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 8: Along with the guys like you know, on the sideline.

720
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 9: The one thing I really love about doing like preseason

721
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 9: games is you get to see the chemistry of like

722
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 9: all of the ninety guys on the roster, right, you

723
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 9: get to see like who's kind of one of the

724
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 9: dudes and who's kind of not. And he's certainly one

725
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 9: of the dudes. You know, he's in there, He's like.

726
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 8: I don't think they would like to cut him.

727
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 9: I just think Stida provides a veteran presence and leadership

728
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 9: quality that you know that that they would like to

729
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 9: have be the foil to Bonix, right, So realistically, I mean,

730
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 9: I think Zach Wilson will find another home. He looks crazy.

731
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 9: He's had some really nice thros in practice, you know,

732
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 9: during the game. He didn't get a lot of action

733
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 9: last week, so I don't I don't even know if

734
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 9: we should count that, but you know, he he ultimately

735
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 9: will probably find another home, you know, and perhaps it

736
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 9: will be with wouldn't it be funny if he and

737
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 9: Sam Darnold g bos.

738
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: On the same time, just that JJ, so they kind

739
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: of yeah, I mean, they.

740
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 9: Picked up Matt Corral. They picked up a guy named

741
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 9: Matt Corral that you know, he's in the league, a

742
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 9: couple of beers as well, but Corral, like, I think,

743
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 9: you know Zach Wilson especially because for what is it?

744
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 9: I mean, look, Sean Payton is a Bill Parcell's disciple.

745
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 9: Bill Parcells will always pick a high round guy for

746
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 9: like no money, just in case. It's a good strategy, right,

747
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 9: It elevates practice that he certainly won't be unfortunately won't

748
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 9: be on their practice squad because he'll get picked up

749
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 9: by someone else. So you know, it's you should have

750
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 9: that pedigree there, Yeah, for sure.

751
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: Okay, let's switch gears to the Cowboys. Because Dak Prescott,

752
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: Ceed Lamb are still waiting for their contract extensions this offseason.

753
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: If they happen, which deal do you think is more important?

754
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: And do they get done before the start of the season.

755
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 9: I think that this is like true Cowboys form. I

756
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 9: think like it's a secret plan of Jerry Jones to

757
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 9: give people like an extra couple weeks off so that

758
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 9: they can, you know, for Ceedee Lamb, so they can

759
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 9: like skill and relax a little bit. I don't know,

760
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 9: but they'll both get I think they'll both get done,

761
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 9: and I think for this particular season, I think the

762
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 9: Lamb one is probably more, you know, if you're if

763
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 9: you're a Cowboys, that one to me, obviously quarterbacks the

764
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 9: most important position in football, but you know, they don't

765
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 9: have a lot of other pass catching options in this

766
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 9: and if Dak, you know, Dak would be incentivized to

767
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 9: play well. If he you know, there's some rumors maybe

768
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 9: he wants to go whatever somewhere else later, right, he's

769
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 9: incentivized to play well this year either way, so that

770
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 9: he's either auditioning for another team or you know, getting

771
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 9: paid on this one. So I think the incentive structure

772
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 9: is there for Ceedee Lamb to get paid this year.

773
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I would.

774
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 4: I would agree with that, even if Jerry Jones doesn't

775
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 4: think it's a big sense of urgency.

776
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm with you, Cynthia. Okay, he's like, it's August.

777
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 9: I don't need to sign.

778
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 8: We don't play.

779
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 3: It needs to be running practice.

780
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 9: It listens.

781
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: It's not Sundays.

782
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 8: You know they don't play on Sundays.

783
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 9: You have to play on Saturday.

784
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: So whatever, Okay, real quick before we let you go,

785
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 3: who is like your dark horse surprise team this year.

786
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 9: That's a great question. I don't know if it's that

787
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 9: much of a surprise, but you know, I think that,

788
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 9: like I think, like everything about the Texans to me

789
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 9: is in this full swing mode. I know they made

790
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 9: the playoffs last year, but I don't I'm not worried

791
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 9: about Trevor Lawrence and the Jags one bit. I'm not

792
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 9: worried about the Titans and Will Levis one bit.

793
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 8: No.

794
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 9: Okay, the Colts could contend, maybe, but they already won

795
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 9: nine games last year and they didn't win the division,

796
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 9: and they won nine games with Gardner minshew. I'm worried

797
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 9: about Emday Richardson's staying healthy but long story short of

798
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 9: I think in the AfD where all these all the

799
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 9: teams in the East are going to be each other up,

800
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 9: all the teams in the North are going to beat

801
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 9: each other up, why not look at the South and say, hey,

802
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 9: like other than the chiefs, Like why why wouldn't you

803
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 9: think like really smart idea to like think about all

804
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 9: the things. I even love c J. Strack for fantasy.

805
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 9: I think Nico Collins. Nico Collins is so underrated for

806
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 9: fantasy it's unreleased, like wide receiver ten right now. Whatever, man,

807
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 9: I'll take him. I'll take him any day of the

808
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 9: week in round two.

809
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: Yes, did I love that?

810
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: So?

811
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,400

843
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 7: This high white production, high production, super.

844
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 3: High production like It sold out within ninety minutes on Tuesday,

845
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: and all proceeds will go to a yet to be

846
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: named cause.

847
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: But if you're wondering why he.

848
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 3: Did this collab, Levice went viral during the draft for

849
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: putting Mayo in his coffee, and he just leaned into

850
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: this entire thing, and you know what I'm here for.

851
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 5: I love what you lean in for a good cause

852
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 5: though lean Yeah, but.

853
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 3: We don't know what the cause is yet, So that's

854
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: that's kind of the funny thing.

855
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: It's like, well, all the pro seeds will go somewhere good.

856
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm just got to.

857
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 6: Figure out where it is.

858
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: We'll find out.

859
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,520

Speaker 4: the next week.

861
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 5: But the running in the white and down the.

862
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 3: Fog, it's so good production values, A plus wardrobe vibe

863
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: again like very Zoolander vibes.

864
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is great.

865
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,600

00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 9: Smart.

867
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,560

Speaker 2: Thank you, man will love us.

869
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 4: My do is also using your platform for good, but

870
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: a little bit different. Some mobiles talking about still seeing

871
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 4: her therapists while at the Olympics and making sure to

872
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 4: make those appointments and how important they are. And I

873
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: just think generally she's been such an advocate for mental

874
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 4: health and how important it is. And I think the

875
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: fact that she told everybody I was still seeing my

876
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: therapist that was a priority to me.

877
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: It's just I just think it's incredible.

878
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 5: So morning morning and she won gold.

879
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: She talked about it in her interview. You know, like,

880
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: how did like what do you think like helped you

881
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: get gold? She's like, my therapist this morning.

882
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 5: Eleven am.

883
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 10: And she's doing it on local time, so that therapist

884
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 10: was probably up, you know, two three am to be there.

885
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 5: But how important it is.

886
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: It's everything, It's everything. I am a huge advocate of therapy.

887
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, how are you happy all the time. I'm

888
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: like therapy on Wednesdays, we heal, Okay, we cry and

889
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 3: we heal.

890
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: And I love therapy is amazing for everybody.

891
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: Men's my women athlete. Everybody go all right, India, you

892
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: got to do or don't I think.

893
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: I want to do?

894
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Do?

895
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go.

896
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 10: Fanatics, they had an event and Alex Earl, social media

897
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 10: influencer girlfriend to Braxton Barrios, dressed.

898
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 5: Up as him at the event.

899
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 10: Gets out there and I just think, you know, it's

900
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 10: a fun play. But I think what I love and

901
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 10: I think the NFL is doing it the best in

902
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 10: any league, is this cross crossover between other genres like influencers,

903
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 10: social media and NFL has been doing such a great

904
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 10: job and what they do. It's like you bring an

905
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 10: Alex Earlin into the NFL and all of a sudden,

906
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 10: you're getting.

907
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 5: These viewers that don't watch the NFL.

908
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 10: They you know, they're fans of Alex Earl and this

909
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 10: crossover between music and social media influencers. I think NFL

910
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 10: is doing a great job and I think it's getting

911
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 10: different fans, new fans involved in the NFL, and I

912
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 10: think it's saw with.

913
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 5: Taylor Swift and I think it's great. I think it's

914
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 5: great to see that crossover.

915
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 2: It was so fun.

916
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: They actually had I have another like I'm I'm gonna

917
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 3: piggyback on this one with a don't don't take yourself

918
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: too seriously because at the Fanatics event, they actually had

919
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 3: a couple different people in disguise because Alex Earl was

920
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: like getting Braxident's like full uniform helmet everything, so you

921
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 3: like didn't know it was her.

922
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and Gronk.

923
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: Also made an appearance at the Fanatics Past yesterday, dress

924
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,200

925
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: Brady was Gronk, Gronk was Brady.

926
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 3: They walked around the whole event like until the crowd

927
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: got too big and kind of was like, wait, is.

928
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 2: This really them? I think this might actually be Brady

929
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: and Gronk. But they were so funny.

930
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 3: They were having such a great time, and I just

931
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:49,920

Speaker 3: All right, let's dive back into the NFL, you guys,

1011
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 3: because we've got a lot of preseason football going on today.

1012
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 3: I think the big, the big kind of story this

1013
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: morning was Caleb Williams the Bears getting his first touchdown

1014
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: off to a little bit of a slow start, but

1015
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: then when it needed to happen, had an incredible drive

1016
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: getting the ball down the field. I don't again, I'm

1017
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 3: not specifically comparing him to Patrick Mahomes, but his touchdown

1018
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 3: play was very Patrick Mahomes esque, like getting out of

1019
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 3: a tackle, super calm, seeing the field looking like he

1020
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: was maybe going to throw it across his body to

1021
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: then run it in for a touchdown. So I think

1022
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: Bears fans are excited, be very excited, and.

1023
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: Really be excited this time.

1024
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 3: It might really work. I think this is going to work.

1025
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 3: They've never had that guy, but he is that guy. India,

1026
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: you were talking about on our car right here. We

1027
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 3: carpooled here today so much. You're welcome Cooper at your service.

1028
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: You were talking talking about his kind of his demeanor

1029
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: at USC and really seeing that also, yeah, now into

1030
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: the NFL.

1031
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, just how he carried himself and he walked

1032
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 10: around campus at USC while he was there, he was he's.

1033
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 5: An old soul.

1034
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, he has a leadership presence even when he's not

1035
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 10: on the football field. And I got to kind of

1036
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 10: watch and observe that while I was on campus myself.

1037
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 5: Just how he walks through campus. He is a leader.

1038
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 10: He led the mental health conversation at US Siege. He's

1039
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 10: just prepared for the moment. And I know we keep

1040
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 10: comparing him on the field to a Patrick Mahomes, but

1041
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 10: I don't think that's a bad thing for Also, I

1042
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 10: think he's also like Patrick and his mentality and how

1043
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 10: he carries himself. I was fortunate to work with Patrick

1044
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 10: Mahomes when he was coming into the league and do

1045
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 10: his full story.

1046
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 5: And Patrick came in. He was kind, he.

1047
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 10: Was gracious, he was so respectful to everyone, and he

1048
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 10: was a professional. He came in, did what you asked

1049
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 10: him to do, and left. And then I got to

1050
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 10: work with Patrick every year after that for the last

1051
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 10: five years. And no matter how many Super Bowls, Pat

1052
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 10: has won, no much, no matter how much success, how

1053
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 10: much money, he still came in, was coachable, took direction,

1054
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 10: and that I see a lot in Caleb as well,

1055
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 10: how he carries himself and that in those mannerisms, and

1056
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 10: I think more than how great he is on the field,

1057
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 10: which we all want to see, the razzle dazz on

1058
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 10: the field, that leadership and how he carries himself like

1059
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 10: that is a franchise quarterback that you want in your

1060
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 10: organization to be leading your team.

1061
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 2: That's what I want to hear.

1062
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 7: And he's unapologetically himself, which I love and I just

1063
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 7: love that about him.

1064
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 10: I love that so ch That's generation of quarterbacks are

1065

Speaker 5: Hitting our nail, paying their nails.

1069
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 3: Please more of that. You guys were nineteen days away.

1070
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 3: It has just been from kickoff. I'm just going to

1071
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 3: keep reminding we're in week two of preseason. We still

1072
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: have this is what we're going to get into now.

1073
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 3: We still have some big names waiting to get paid,

1074
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: and we're going to start in San Francisco since Tracy

1075
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: is the forty nine Ers beat reporter and can hopefully

1076
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: give us some insider info because they have two big

1077
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: contracts that need to be done. Everybody's talking about Brandon Nayuk,

1078
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: but Trent Williams is also a big name that needs

1079
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 3: to who they need to get it done. But let's

1080
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: start with the Brandon Nyuk saga timeline. Okay, a few

1081
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 3: weeks ago, the forty nine Ers said they had no

1082
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 3: intention of trading him. Then the forty nine ers gave

1083
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 3: Ayuk permission to negotiate a potential trade if both sides

1084
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: got exactly what they wanted, which forty nine Ers asking

1085
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 3: for two number one picks, Ayuk wants top wide receiver money.

1086
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 3: And now the talk is forty nine Ers in Nayuk

1087
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: might be close to a long term deal. And remember

1088
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 3: Ayuk is doing a hold in, meaning he's there with

1089
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: the team but not practicing.

1090
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: So Tracy walk us through all.

1091
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: This, what's the vibe, the rumors and the relationship like

1092
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 3: with Ayuk and the team right now while all this

1093
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 3: is going down.

1094
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: So the hold in is interesting because I think there

1095
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: are pros and cons to it. On the one hand,

1096
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 4: he's there, he's going to meetings, his teammates are seeing

1097
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 4: him every day. On the other hand, he's there and

1098
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 4: his teammates are seeing him every day, and he has

1099
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 4: inside his contract and he's not practicing.

1100
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: Now.

1101
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 4: Interestingly, I will say he's been watching practice the last

1102
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 4: several yesterday he was doing some conditioning work on the side.

1103
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 4: So let's not forget what the hold in. He also

1104
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 4: has a sore back, which was something that Kyle Shanahan

1105
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 4: talked about on Friday and he said, you guys are

1106
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 4: calling it a hold in. I'm not disagreeing with you,

1107
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 4: but the player has a sore back. That will be

1108
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 4: interesting when it comes to finding or having to find

1109
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 4: him because if he's hurt, he's hurt. But he was

1110
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 4: doing some conditioning on the side. That's the first time

1111
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 4: we've seen that. When was that yesterday? Ok, that was

1112
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 4: the first time that we've seen that, so I do

1113
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 4: think they're getting close. I think ultimately they want to

1114
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 4: work this out, and I think him being there shows

1115
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 4: he wants to work it out. But I also think

1116
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 4: him being there could also be kind of like annoying.

1117
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: It's like I was like, Okay, let's then, let's practice.

1118
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 4: And I will never ever say anything against a player

1119
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 4: getting everything he deserves. They are in a sport where

1120
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 4: one play and it can all be over, and so

1121
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 4: the team will always take care of itself. Brandon has

1122
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 4: to take care of himself. But I think we are

1123
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 4: getting closer. I don't think this is something that is

1124
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 4: going to go into the season, which, to be honest you,

1125
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 4: a week or so ago I felt very differently, and

1126
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 4: a week or so ago I also was like, I

1127
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 4: think they're going to trade him.

1128
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: And my feelings of this.

1129
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 6: Had gone all over.

1130
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 4: Says since since two days after the Super Bowl, we

1131
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 4: were in the locker room and he was very emotional

1132
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 4: and he was asked, you want to stay here and

1133
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: he said if it works out, and a reporter said

1134
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 4: what does that mean and he said being a champion,

1135
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 4: And so it was.

1136
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: Like, would you want to be traded? The Chiefs like, like,

1137
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: what does that mean?

1138
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 4: But you know, people are super emotional after tough Super

1139
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 4: Bowl losses, but it's just been such a roller coaster.

1140
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I do think they

1141
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 4: are going to get this done. It could be a

1142
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 4: Bosa situation where it's like leading right into week one,

1143
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 4: but by the same token, I think it behooves everybody

1144
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 4: to just figure this out in the next week and

1145
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 4: like and put this aside. And then of course you

1146
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 4: mentioned Trent Williams. Yeah, which is between the two of

1147
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 4: them on before you have Tilliams.

1148
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 3: I have one more thing, because you heard Deebo Samuel's

1149
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 3: on the k Adam Show yesterday. Kay asked him, can

1150
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 3: this team win a Super Bowl without Ayuk? And Deebo said,

1151
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: I think Brandon Ayuk is going to be a part

1152
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: of this team, so we don't have to worry about that.

1153
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 3: So is everybody kind of on that mindset that like

1154
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 3: maybe he's telling them something that I want to stay here.

1155
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 3: Maybe there's like a feeling like coaches like, don't worry.

1156
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 3: I think we're going to get him. We want to

1157
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 3: figure this out because like if your other top guy,

1158
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: Deebo is saying, like I don't think we have to

1159
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 3: worry about it. Ba is going to be a part

1160
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 3: of the team. Like, is that really what people are

1161
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 3: believing and feeling.

1162
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: I think it's what you want to believe and think

1163
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 4: when you're there. And he's not the only one to

1164
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 4: say it. So someone with Hvarius Ward was asked the

1165
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 4: other day do they miss him? And he said, we

1166
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 4: haven't played a game without him yet, so I can't

1167
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 4: tell you if we miss him, And that's come up

1168
00:50:59,000 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 4: a few times.

1169
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: I think the I think he's gonna be part of you.

1170
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 2: I think Deebo does think he's going to be a

1171
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 2: part of the team.

1172
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 10: I also think he's gonna be trying to get him

1173
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 10: to be a part of this team. You know, you

1174
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 10: know Deebo putting that out there? Is it kind of

1175
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 10: like port like.

1176
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 5: Why you here?

1177
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 9: Well?

1178
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 4: And I think Deebo's done that pretty much throughout the

1179
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 4: throughout training camp. And he and Deebo spent a lot

1180
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 4: of time chatting on the sideline when when Brandon is

1181
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 4: at practice, so they are saying they're talking, and Deebo

1182
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: has been very clear about that. But Deebo also went

1183
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: through a contract negotiation a couple of years ago, and

1184
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 4: he has said, I understand it, I get it, and

1185
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 4: so I know what's going on. So I think he

1186
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 4: does think he's gonna be part of this team. I

1187
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 4: think they all think he's going to be a part

1188
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 4: of this team. But until that contract is done, like, what.

1189
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 10: Do you want to get it done so we can

1190
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 10: focus on the task at hands starting the season.

1191
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you're that far apart, and the Steelers

1192
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 3: reportedly have a trade ready for you, So what's your

1193
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 3: gut feeling? Is he going to be in San Francisco

1194
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 3: or is he going to be in Pittsburgh. My gut feeling,

1195
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: he's going to be in San Francisco. That is my

1196
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 3: gut feeling.

1197
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 4: And I would say two weeks ago I may have

1198
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 4: felt differently, But.

1199
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 5: Why but why so, why are you changing that gut feeling?

1200
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 4: Because I think him being there and watching practice, the conditioning,

1201
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 4: and I also think he turned down the money to

1202
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 4: go play for the Patriots. Thirty two million dollars a

1203
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 4: year is a lot of money. That's a lot of money,

1204
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 4: and so he turned that down, And ultimately I think

1205
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 4: he wants you, he wants to be there, and they

1206
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 4: have always seen him as their wide receiver one of

1207
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 4: the features. He's their wide receiver one. They don't have

1208
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 4: a wide receiver one without him. The other part of

1209
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 4: this is that their number on their their first round

1210
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 4: draft pick, Ricky Pearsall.

1211
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: Has barely been on the field.

1212
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 4: He can't stay healthy, so they also I think his

1213
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 4: training camp began there was an opportunity to see, Okay,

1214
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 4: what can Ricky Pearsall do? What could he do in

1215
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 4: the preseason. He hasn't played in a preseason game. I'm

1216
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 4: not sure he's going to play tomorrow. So now it's like,

1217
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 4: we need to.

1218
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 7: Get this done.

1219
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 2: And I think he wants to be there.

1220
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 5: I really do it.

1221
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: Just this stuff gets complicated social media.

1222
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 7: For all the things we talked about, but it's amazing.

1223
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 3: Yet also I also don't like the way he was

1224
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 3: going about it like he was he posted that FaceTime.

1225
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not.

1226
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 4: Great, but it's also if we take it's on, is

1227
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 4: this the world the world we live in?

1228
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 2: And that's it?

1229
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 4: And I don't disagree with you, but I think I

1230
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 4: just think I think he is going to be on

1231
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 4: this team, and I will I will go a step

1232
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 4: farther and say will be. I'm actually going to be

1233
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 4: pretty shocked if he's not.

1234
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

1235
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 3: I mean, forty nine ers are favored in every single

1236
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 3: game this season. I think that changes if I Use

1237
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 3: is not on the team. But let's move to another

1238
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 3: contract that's not getting as much media attention. Trent Williams

1239
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 3: offensive line, but arguably oh more a port deal than

1240
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 3: I you because protecting brock Purdy is the number one priority.

1241
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 3: Because if you look at brock Purty with and without

1242
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 3: Trent Williams, it's not a huge sample size, but it's

1243
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 3: enough to show you how important Trent Williams is. Like

1244
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 3: with Trent Williams, he's nineteen and three without one and

1245
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 3: two touchdown interception, forty two and eleven two and four.

1246
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 3: Passer rating is one fourteen with Trent, eighty seven point

1247
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 3: nine without Trent, and he is holding out. Have you

1248
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 3: seen him around the facility? How close are both sides

1249
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 3: to getting that deal done?

1250
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 4: So I think the reason it's not getting as much

1251
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 4: attention is because he's holding out, so he is not

1252
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 4: around the facility.

1253
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: I think with Brandon being there on.

1254
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 4: A daily basis, it feels like a different thing. I

1255
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 4: think they'll get it done, you know, in the next

1256
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.

1257
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: He arguably is more important. Can they win without Brandon Aiyuk?

1258
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: Yes, will be harder. Yes.

1259
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 7: Can they win without Trent Williams? Absolutely not.

1260
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 4: Last year he missed three games, they lost all three games.

1261
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 4: I've been saying all off season before the holdout that

1262
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 4: the team I believe is a Trent Williams injury away

1263
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 4: from the season being done.

1264
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: Oh snap.

1265
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 4: So that offensive line has been good, it's certainly better,

1266
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 4: and I think the forty nine ers think it's better

1267
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 4: than maybe the public does and the fans do. But

1268
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 4: Trent Williams is like the star, the anchor that holds

1269
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 4: them together, and so he is more important. That being said,

1270
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 4: one doesn't have anything to do with the other in

1271
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 4: terms of having to get And Kyle was flat out

1272
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 4: OUSTI the other day and he's like, no, and it

1273
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 4: doesn't it's not. Getting Brandon done doesn't mean that now

1274
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 4: they can get trente. They just have to get them

1275
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 4: both done. Trent's a veteran, and Trent's been through a

1276
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 4: lot of training camps. He's going to be thirty six

1277
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 4: years old like he.

1278
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 3: Which will be all you are towards the probably his

1279
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 3: last contract, so it's probably his last contract.

1280
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: But I think it also he knows what he needs

1281
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 4: to do to get prepared for a season, like Trent

1282
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 4: will be fine.

1283
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 3: So he's saying in shape, so he's ready to go.

1284
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 3: If say it happens like a week before the season starts,

1285
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 3: he's working out, he's I.

1286
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 4: Would say, nothing compares to like being with the team.

1287
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 4: Nick Bosa said that last year. Deebo Samuel said it

1288
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 4: the year before. It did affect them. I just think

1289
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 4: in Trent's case it might be all different. It'll take

1290
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 4: it will take some time. And actually I think the

1291
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 4: offensive line coach said something that I thought was really

1292
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 4: interesting that he never sees players more exhausted than they

1293
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 4: are after like the first like the first series or

1294
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 4: first half of the first game of the season and

1295
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 4: that because that's that, and then he's like an after that,

1296
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 4: no matter how many games we played, it becomes normal.

1297
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 4: So is trut Williams going to come out and be

1298
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 4: able to play every snap like? Probably not, But they

1299
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,720
Speaker 4: will figure this one out. But it is more important.

1300
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 4: It's not an either or no, but it is more

1301
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 4: important because they do have other weapons rock party and

1302
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 4: you have you have to protect Brock, You've got a

1303
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 4: run game that whole offense is predicated on the rune

1304
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 4: moves together.

1305
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 10: You know, it's like a very different than a wide

1306
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 10: receiver cohesive.

1307
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 2: The cohesive every guy there on the same page they do.

1308
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 2: Leader of the pack, he's the leader. He's the leader

1309
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 2: of the pack.

1310
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 10: Be like him not being at training camp and in practice,

1311
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 10: that would be my only concern.

1312
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: He's yeah, it's definitely, it's definitely huge.

1313
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 7: I just think ultimately he will be finite.

1314
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, or is it lined to last year? Pretty similar?

1315
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 10: Though.

1316
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 4: They do have a rookie who's been a surprise, Dominic Pooney,

1317
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 4: who's been playing at right guard, who's been a real

1318
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 4: pleasant surprise. He's been a very pleasant to get right.

1319
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 4: I think I think he is going to end up

1320
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: being the starter. They have not flat out said yet.

1321
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 4: I think he's going to end up being the starter.

1322
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: So that'll be great. That being said, they still need

1323
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 4: Trent wa Yeah, well you need your leadams so desperately.

1324
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 2: Will both of these deals get done? Yeah? Okay they will. Okay,

1325
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 2: they will both get done. You heard it here.

1326
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 4: Trent might get I wonder if Trent might get it

1327
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:25,959
Speaker 4: done even faster than Brandon, But I would say within

1328
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 4: the next couple of weeks, both these deals would get done.

1329
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 4: In my humble opinion.

1330
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: For forty nine Ers fans, you hope.

1331
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 3: So, I mean, this is kind of like, I feel

1332
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 3: like this is their last year or two of the

1333
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: Super Bowl window. All of their major offensive pieces are

1334
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 3: up for their next contract after next season. They have

1335
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 3: two years for majority of their offensive guys, this is

1336
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 3: the atensions, this is the year, this is the it

1337
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 3: has to be this year their favorite in every single game.

1338
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 3: You're coming off that chip on your shoulder.

1339
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: The reason you are, the reason that the Chiefs are

1340
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 2: now a dynasty.

1341
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 3: Losing in overtime in the Super Bowl, which kind of

1342
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: felt like I don't think everybody realized that was it

1343
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 3: when it happened too, So there are so many components

1344
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 3: to that, Like I brock party, go off, prove everyone wrong.

1345
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 3: I think you're a top tier quarterback. Come at me.

1346
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 3: But like I am really excited and really hope they

1347
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 3: get both of these contracts done. We're going to take

1348
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 3: a quick break here, but when we come back, players,

1349

00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: Now.

1365
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 3: For those who are not familiar with this weekend, I

1366
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: like to explain it as baseball slowly understanding the importance

1367
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 3: of personality in the game. Yes, all right, after four

1368
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 3: seasons they took a hiatus. Players Weekend is back.

1369
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 2: Now.

1370
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: It's a chance for players and again, so MLB describes it,

1371
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 3: it's a chance for players to be themselves as I.

1372
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 2: Shouldn't that be the goal every single day on the field.

1373
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: This is how you're gonna grow your game.

1374
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 3: But it is really cool because they get to help

1375
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 3: their favorite charities or kind of explain what makes them tick.

1376
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 3: Players get to have custom bats cleats. Some of my favorite.

1377
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: We saw Otani with dog decoy on there. Michael Harris

1378
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: a second had a Spider Man and Toy Story themed

1379
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 3: bat and fleets see just as that went on that

1380
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 3: the d Bats had a pencil bat logan o'happy catcher

1381
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 3: for the Angels gear. It was a nod to some

1382
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: of the kids he met at Miller's Children Women's Hospital.

1383
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 2: They got to decorate his chest protectors.

1384
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 3: And like, so he's wearing it all weekend and each

1385
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 3: day has a theme. So Friday is fun, Friday fun.

1386
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 3: So this is time to show off the players personalities

1387
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: and interests off the field. And one of my favorite

1388
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 3: things I saw Lars Nutbar teamed up with Budweiser and

1389
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 3: opened the Noot Bar in Saint Louis and I talked

1390
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 3: to him last night and I was like, is this

1391
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 3: gonna be like a full thing, a full time thing.

1392
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: He's like, no, it's just this weekend.

1393
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 3: I was like, I think we need to figure out

1394
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 3: how to make this a full time thing. He's a

1395
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 3: he's an LA kid al segundo kid. I'm like, whether

1396
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 3: you do it in Saint Louis or back here in

1397
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 3: the South Bay.

1398
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: We need the newt bar.

1399
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

1400
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: It's like it looked so cool. Okay. Today Saturday is Causes.

1401
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 3: The focus of the day will be on players' favorite

01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,080

1409
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 3: nicknames back on the back of the jersey.

1410

1413
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 3: nicknames with emojis with emoji, So I guess I've.

1414
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 5: Probably got some pushbacks.

1415
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 2: But they don't do what it was.

1416
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 4: That's the fun part, you know. They can only let

1417
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 4: them have so much, so much fun. It's like the

01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: I just don't like it is.

1425
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 3: I want these leagues to understand like we are in

1426
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 3: the new media, social media age and if you want

1427
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 3: to grab these younger generation, this is what you need

1428
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 3: to see every game, Like, let the players show their personality.

1429
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,600

Speaker 3: a younger audience, grow the game, have fun. I like

1431
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,760

1432
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,240

Speaker 7: Yeah, the rest of the ones we are not do.

1434
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: Not like especially in baseball too.

1435
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 3: You used to get in trouble for like celebrating a

1436
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 3: home run or striking someone out. It's like a small

1437
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 3: it's a small step in the right direction for Major

1438
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 3: League Baseball. But they should have players month if we're

Speaker 2: in with Brian Fenley and see what's trendy.

1461
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, we got to see Patrick Mahomes go behind the

1462
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 12: back for free in a highlight that is making the

1463
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 12: rounds all over social media as it is part of

1464
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 12: the Chiefs preseason slate. Right now, they are taking on

1465
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 12: the Lions. It is sixteen to nine under the two

1466
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 12: minute mark of the second quarter. Mahomes his numbers. He's

1467
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 12: no longer playing in limited duty. Eight to fourteen through

1468
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 12: the air, ninety three yards. Carson Wentz has stepped in

1469
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 12: since five of ten, passing in thirty one yards and

1470
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 12: a touchdown.

1471
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 6: And he's been sacked once.

1472
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 12: So that game is up and running a few that

1473
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 12: have already gone final. In Chicago Bears, they throttle past

1474
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 12: the Bengals twenty seven to three, and you had a

1475
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 12: touchdown run for Caleb Williams making his soldier field debut.

1476
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 12: Struggled early on, did Williams, but then coming in strong

1477
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 12: as he started to get his passing in order, six

1478
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 12: of thirteen through the air seventy five yards.

1479
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 6: He was sacked once.

1480
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 12: Also, the Ravens come up with a thirteen to twelve

1481
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 12: win against the Falcons. Big news out of that one.

1482
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 12: People are wondering, well, where is Michael Pennox Junior. Why

1483
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 12: isn't the quarterback playing for Atlanta? Well, Rahee Morris telling

1484
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 12: team reporter Tory mcklhenny that Pennick Junior did not play

1485
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 12: specifically because he had showed the team enough in the

1486
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 12: first preseason game to where they.

1487
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 6: Didn't need to take a look at him again.

1488
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 12: Right, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, right, Alexon, Well.

1489
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 3: It's an interesting approach, Like we've seen enough, but like

1490
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 3: you could see more.

1491
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 4: Well, and also they brought him in because, as we

1492
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 4: talked about earlier, that give you a very viable backup

1493
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 4: to her cousins. So wouldn't you want to give that

1494
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 4: viable backups some chances to be viable?

1495
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 2: Promise? Many times I could say viable.

1496
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean he is definitely more than just a

1497
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 12: viable option.

1498
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 6: And did I say it? I can't believe I did that.

1499
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 12: So anyway, yeah, so we have we had that storyline

1500
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 12: to come from that one. Also, Daniel Jones hyped in

1501
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 12: what he did in terms of coming back to the gridiron,

1502
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 12: but underperforming to say the least, two interceptions eleven of

1503
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 12: eighteen through the air one hundred and thirty eight yards

1504
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 12: passing his Giants that got beaten down by the Texans

1505
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 12: twenty eight to ten at CJ. Stroud in his limited

1506
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 12: role seven of ten passing eighty eight yards, notably from

1507
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 12: the NFL Cowboys. Mazi Smith, the defensive lineman, will not

1508
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 12: be with the team for their game tonight in Las

1509
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 12: Vegas against the Raiders after he had an allergic flare

1510
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 12: up yesterday. Titans linebacker Arden Key, according to reports, got

1511
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 12: good on his appeal. He won his appeal and so

1512
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 12: no longer will have to serve a six game suspension

1513
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 12: from an alleged ped violation. And lastly, when it comes

1514
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 12: to Major League Baseball two Finals, to get to it,

1515
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 12: I'll mention just those. The Pirates over the Mariners seven

1516
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 12: to two. Rowdy Telles had a two on home run

1517
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 12: in that one. Also, the Tigers all over the Yankees

1518
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 12: four to nothing, Tigers winning there. And as they get

1519
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 12: it back to Alex, Tracy and India, there are so

1520
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 12: many more preseason games thirteen today, let's go, let's go.

01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,240

Speaker 2: I love it.

1533
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 3: Rache was actually there when we decided we needed to

1534
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 3: bring your friend to work day.

1535
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and I love it.

1536
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 3: I was like, well, sent you were there for the

1537
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 3: birth of this. Let's bring you now you're going to

1538
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: come on the show and a rash. Let's start in

1539
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 3: LA because I think we talked about going to Chargers

1540
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 3: training camp together. But the Chargers, Yeah, Chargers have high

1541
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 3: expectations for this season. Obviously with Jim Harbach coming in

1542
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 3: as a head coach, what would be considered a successful

1543
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 3: first year for Harbor the Chargers.

1544
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's very because normally when the team

1545
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 8: has a four season and they don't bring a lot

1546
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 8: to the table the following season, you don't think it's

1547
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 8: going to be a playoff team. But Tracy really saw

1548
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 8: firsthand with Jim Harbor, you know. So, I mean I

1549
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 8: think just looking at a track record of success, he

1550
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 8: always that first year finds the way to kind of

1551
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 8: change the culture, change the mood. So I am and

1552
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 8: I get into think this is far more than what

1553
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 8: these force books in last Vegas thing. I mean, like,

1554
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 8: I think that this team is going to be a

1555
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 8: playoff contendancy. I think that they will to be playing

1556
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 8: meaningful games in December. I mean the big question for

1557
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 8: them is wide receiver. I mean, you lose Keenan Allen

1558
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 8: you lose Mike Williams. And I don't know if quote

1559
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 8: Quinton Johnson is the guy. He's high on him. I

1560
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 8: have not seen enough so far through camp and through

1561
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 8: their one preseason game. We'll see where he dives. And

1562
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 8: I have a lot of questions about some of the

1563
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 8: talent that they have, but listen, at the very least,

1564
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 8: Harbaugh has changed the culture.

1565
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Most important, and there is a Harbaugh effect.

1566
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 4: I mean, when he came to San Francisco, we had

1567
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 4: a lot more talent on his side and that team

1568
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 4: around immediately. And I think that was also the case

1569
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 4: at Michigan. But there is a Harbaugh effect. And I

1570
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 4: think we could say that he has been peak Harbaugh

1571
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 4: thus far in press conferences. On the field, I mean,

1572
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 4: do you think the players are responding to it? It

1573
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 4: seems like they are, but do you feel like they

1574
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 4: are responding to it?

1575
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1576
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 9: One.

1577
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 8: I mean the beautiful thing about it is that that

1578
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 8: that he came in in there was that credibility, There

1579
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 8: was that track record of success, whether it's college, whether

1580
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 8: it's pro. You know that this guy wins. And so

1581
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 8: by the way, yeah, his press conferences are amazing. I

1582
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 8: mean I really enjoyed covering.

1583
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to miss them so much.

1584
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 4: The Monday Michigan press conference was like the best day

1585
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 4: of the week by far.

1586
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Must watch far.

1587
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so this week carbos that he offered Colin Kaepernick

1588
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 3: a coaching job this season, but announce that he won't

1589
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 3: be on the staff this year.

1590
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: How did this come about?

1591
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 3: And do you see Kaepernick getting back involved with the

1592
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 3: NFL at some point?

1593
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 9: You know?

1594
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 8: I mean, the feeling was that if Colin Kaepernick did

1595
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 8: did get into coaching or did get a job with

1596
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 8: the team, it would probably be with someone who has

1597
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 8: again a history with him. And then obviously with Jim

1598
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 8: harbobbing he was his coach win that Colin Kaepernick took

1599
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 8: to him so to the Super Bowl. So I get,

1600
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 8: I don't know what Colin's goals are in terms of coaching,

1601
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 8: but I have to imagine, I mean, if this is

1602
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 8: something that he wants to do at some point, like

1603
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 8: he would align himself with the former coach and a

1604
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 8: team again that that he's familiar with a lot of

1605
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 8: the coaches on that team. Again, Tracy does this very well,

1606
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 8: Like you you're walking into a comfortable environment. Not only

1607
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 8: Woul Jim Harbor but a lot of the coaches on

1608
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 8: that team.

1609
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move to the other team here in La

1610
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford was held out of practice after experiencing some

1611
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 3: hamstring tightness. Now McVeigh said they aren't concerned and that

1612
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 3: Stafford will return to practice this week. Is this something

1613
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 3: the Rams should be worried about? Are they downplaying it

1614
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 3: because of maybe his age and injury past.

1615
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 8: It's a little bit concerning because with a hamstring, you know,

1616
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,799
Speaker 8: depending on the severity of a nexted linger. The unique

1617
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 8: thing about this they did bring in Jimmy Garoppolo, but

1618
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 8: he is.

1619
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 2: Suspended the first two games.

1620
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:50,839
Speaker 8: Two games, and then yes, he did have a wild comeback,

1621
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 8: but also prior to that, he threw four picks in

1622
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 8: the game, so you know, I know, yeah, No, I mean,

1623
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 8: there is no own team that depends on the I mean,

1624
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 8: there's probably some others. But when you look at how

1625
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 8: poorly the Rams did following their Super Bowl win, it's

1626
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 8: because Matthew Stafford was not healthy and could not be protected.

1627
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 8: If Stafford is healthy, I think the Rams already playoff team.

1628
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 8: If he's not.

1629
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 9: If he's can't.

1630
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 8: Be protected and he can't be himself, this is a

1631
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 8: below to five hundred team.

1632
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 4: So what happens in weeks one and two with Jimmy

1633
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 4: Garopfolo suspended? If Stafford is I mean, is it is?

1634
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 4: It sets in and just hope for the best.

1635
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:38,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean yeah right now, but that I mean listen,

1636
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 8: I was in the press box thinking like, okay, like

1637
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 8: like if he throws another pick, and so he did.

1638
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 8: He threw a fifth pick, but it got called back

1639
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 8: on holding and that was sort of like the turning

1640
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 8: point where but I don't think that there's a lot

1641
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 8: of confidence, uh, if something were to happen. By the way,

1642
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 8: both teams in Los Angeles very much struggling with their

1643
01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 8: backup quarterback position. Instant stick. You'll see him tonight, by

1644
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 8: the way, you'll see both the back of quarterbacks tonight too,

1645
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 8: not right back of quarterbacks.

1646
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 11: If I could just say it like that, And.

1647
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Rams first two games Lions, Lions

1648
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 3: are going to come out with a lot to prove,

1649
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 3: and then Cardinals like also, and then you have San

1650
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 3: Francisco and then the Bears and then the Packers.

1651
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 2: Really tough, tough schedule out of the gates.

1652
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 4: You know, it is written in the stars for that

1653
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 4: Game three against San Francisco for Garoppolo to have to start.

1654
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 2: Oh, jell out and just you know.

1655
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 3: What, out of the forty nine ers, that's favorite and

1656
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 3: every single game.

1657
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 2: This I always liked Jimmy. I've covered Jimmy and I mean.

1658
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 4: You just just feel he did He had a you know,

1659
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 4: it was a hard breakfair and he was classy. He

1660
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 4: was every step of the way. I mean, I kind

1661
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 4: of think it would be amazing.

1662
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, don't get me.

1663
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 10: So that's okay, conspiracy theory, Cynthia's we have Tracy.

1664
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love a good conspiracy theory.

1665
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 3: Okay, let's witch gears and talk about Lebron because he

1666
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 3: was named the Olympic MVP for men's basketball. What did

1667
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,480
Speaker 3: his performance show the NBA world, in Laker fans, especially

1668
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 3: in year twenty two, that he's still that dude?

1669
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 8: You know what, there was a couple of games there

1670
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 8: where like Lebron and Danviity Davis were, you know, two

1671
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 8: of the top players on the team, and if you're

1672
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 8: a Lakers fan watching this, you're like, how the heck

1673
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 8: can this team with two of the top players in

1674
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,759
Speaker 8: the world still you know, not be in this play

1675
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 8: in tournament. I mean, I mean, how can they not

1676
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 8: be a top four seed? How can they not be

1677
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 8: contending for a title. So, you know, the only hope

1678
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 8: is that maybe new.

1679
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: Coach don't connect things.

1680
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 8: Well adult connect shoot a nice piece. But I mean

1681
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 8: that was my number once I thought, Alex, I'm like

1682
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 8: Lebron still Lebron, Yeah, and Hannedy Davis is still one

1683
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 8: of the top five top to set ten players. So

1684
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 8: if you have that, you should be contented.

1685
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 10: With no practice time with a new team, no, like

1686
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,799
Speaker 10: you can just walk into Paris and get a goal together,

1687
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 10: like JJ Reddick figure it out.

1688
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1689
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 3: So okay, is this Lakers team set up to make

1690
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 3: another run at a title right now?

1691
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1692
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 8: I mean I'm currently constructed. I don't think the track

1693
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 8: record is there for me to believe. And we've talked before,

1694
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 8: like what success success for the Lakers as long as

1695
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 8: you have those two guys is to win a title

1696
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 8: has to be I mean, but like, I mean, this

1697
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 8: was a team. I mean, here's my problem. Yeah, Delta

1698
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 8: Tonight is coming back. I mean, that's coming back. But

1699
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 8: he's the only major addition that they've made. They didn't

1700
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 8: make a big sighting. They didn't make any big trades,

1701
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 8: the big changes. JJ is the coach too. If we

1702
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 8: all believe that JJ is this amazing future, you know,

1703
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 8: great coach, that maybe that is the change. But on paper,

1704
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 8: this does not seem to be a team that's going

1705
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 8: to be that much more improved over a year ago

1706
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 8: when they were in the play in tournament.

1707
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 2: Don't say that. Don't break that.

1708

1731

1732
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,080

01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 3: also be fans. Right, And there were a couple different

1736
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 3: things that I saw this week, And I'm gonna start

1737
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 3: with Mike Trout, oh cute, posting a video looking for

1738
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 3: his rookie card with his son. He bought some two

1739
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 3: thousand and nine Bowman draft boxes to chase his rookie card,

1740
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 3: and he had his camera set up with with his son,

1741
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 3: and the first pack he opened, he ends up finding it,

1742
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,719
Speaker 3: freaking out and goes, we just pulled a monster baby,

1743
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 3: and then his son freaks out. But like, also, how

1744
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 3: on brand is that that, like Mike Trout would pull

1745
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 3: his rookie card randomly in the first pack that he's

1746
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 3: looking at because he's Mike Trout and he's one of

1747
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 3: the greatest players of our generation.

1748
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it was really adorable and there was just

1749
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 4: something so pure and wholesome about it.

1750
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I loved it.

1751
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 4: It was It's just so fun to see and you're

1752
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 4: right when you see players being fans and the excitement

1753
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: that we get.

1754
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah did he gets? Because we're all fans. That's why

1755
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 2: we cover the sport. We love.

1756
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 3: We love the games, we love the stories, we love

1757
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 3: the emotion, and when we get it from the players

1758
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 3: or a little like inside, it's the best.

1759
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 2: And there was another one. In baseball.

1760
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 3: Philly's pitcher mattch Strom shared that he buys a card

1761
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 3: of every player who hits a home run off of

1762
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 3: them and tries to buy their rookie card. He said

1763
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 3: Freddy Freeman was like a little too expensive, that's fair,

1764
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 3: But if they take him dee deep twice, then he

1765
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 3: has to get an autograph on the card.

1766
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 2: I love so like he's like, that's like, okay, you got.

1767
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 5: Me game or game respects game?

Speaker 2: Yeah, game recognizing games all right.

01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 10: He doesn't want to forget who's been a hope and

1770
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:48,719
Speaker 10: so he's like I remember who.
