First weekend of the 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: n c A tournament always a blast. I feel like 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: the first two rounds were not incredible, and then Sunday 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: night we worked up to this this moment where it 7 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, we're really gonna have chaos 8 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: and Arizona TCU was an absolute thriller the game of 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: the weekend. I hope you stayed up late ended geez 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: last night. Uh, if you're on the East coast about 11 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: twelve thirty am, twelve thirty five, I hope you guys 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: stayed up for it. Uh, it was a thriller Arizona. Listen. 13 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: First of all, we are going to talk about the 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson going to the Browns and Peter King. A 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: lot of people attacking the Browns, people are taking shots 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: at him. I mean, what else is new? We'll do 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: a lot of NFL this week obviously, Uh, NBA playoffs 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: are approaching. But you guys know me, I'm a hardcore 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: tournament junkie. UM bracket wise it hasn't been great for me. 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: Gambling wise, it has not been great for me, but 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm still alive. In the Calcutta. We have Gonzaga in Kansas, Kansas. 22 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: It's wide open for Kansas right now. Gonzaga had a 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: major scare from Memphis. But I quickly want to just 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: talk about the Arizona ending because if you saw first 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: of all, TCU refused to go away just they got 26 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: these like junkyard dog type players who just scrapped for 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: every rebound. Arizona Young and the kid Ben Matherin, Benedict 28 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: is what he likes to go at. Benedict Matherin. I 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: think he's number zero for Arizona pack Tol Player of 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: the Year. He's gonna be a top five pick, I think, 31 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I said on this podcast, he reminds me of Victor 32 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: Oladipot and he was unbelievable late Sunday night, just hit 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: a three with like fifteen seconds left to tie it. 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: And then and tc you got the ball. And they 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: have like, you know, all all big twelve point guard 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: in Mike Miles, who it is going to be in 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: the NBA. He could be a late first round pick. 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: He's a good player. And of course Arizona hard double 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: team to get the ball out of his hands, and 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: it looked like they bumped him. Now, maybe he flopped. 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: And I didn't even know, by the way, Rob that 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: there was a flop warning that you could get in 43 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: college basketball. Chet home run the toothpick on Gonzaga got 44 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: one Saturday night. I had never seen a flop warning 45 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: in the n c A tournament at any rate. They 46 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: decided not to blow the whistle. Miles goes down. It's like, 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: wait a minute, is that backcourt? What's going on? And 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: but of course there's like four seconds left. Kid on 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: Arizona picks it up Sprinton for the dunk, and it's 50 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: like they want, you know, the owl mguire, they wanted 51 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: on the dunk the Arizona game. I'm sorry, not Arizona. 52 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: Houston five slam a jam on like nineteen eighty two, 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: eighty three somewhere around there. But it looked like, for 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: like half a second the Arizona kid wont it, but 55 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: the ref was right on. It was like no, it's 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: after and you you can see the replay the ball 57 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: was in his hands. But still the weird part is, 58 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't even know what channel. This game was on TBS, 59 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: t N T True T one of those. It was 60 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: not on CBS. Obviously, there was no replay of the 61 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: turnover by Miles, and it looked like when they finally 62 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: showed it that Miles got bumped, and it's like, wait 63 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: a minute, how is there no foul call there? Obviously 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: TCU was in the bonus they would have been shooting 65 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: Miles of the money free throw shooter in Arizona would 66 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: have been probably eliminated. I'm floored. Just an absolute swallowed 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: the whistle there. I couldn't believe it. TCU obviously would 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: be whining about it. Jamie Dixon, good job coaching, and 69 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: Arizona looks susceptible. Listen, this is as we talked about 70 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: the youngest team in the field. Yeah, I got some superstars. 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Co Loco, the seven footer, he's gonna be a pro. 72 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Matherin obviously is a pro, probably a top five pick. 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: And I mean, this team is good. They've got talent, 74 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: but they're young. And you could see even they went 75 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: up by nine in the second half, Matherin threw down 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the nastiest dunk ever in the Tournay Number one tournament 77 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: game Number one tournament dunk, he cocked it back like 78 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: he was in a dunk contest and just served up 79 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: a facial on this kid, and the Arizona crowd was 80 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: just going by. It was one of those moments where 81 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, I just woke up my family. Oops. 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Uh and Matherin took over. I don't really know what 83 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: to say, Robber than Arizona looks extremely susceptible right now. 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you know they're gonna they 85 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: play Houston next, And if you guys have seen Houston, 86 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: they are similar to TCU, and they've got the junkyard 87 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: dog mentality. They will crash the glass. They're not as 88 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: good offensively, they don't have a dynamic player like Miles, 89 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: But I do believe Houston will give Arizona a lot 90 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: of problems. Yeah, I mean, I didn't come away feeling 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: down in Arizona at all. You know, I have Arizona 92 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: making the championship game. I don't have them moving, but 93 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: I had them making it from before the tournament started, 94 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: and I thought they were the best team coming into 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: this tournament. Either way, they've been playing the best basketball 96 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: in my opinion. But um, you know, it's not unusual 97 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: at all. I feel like it's almost commonplace for the 98 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: eventual champion to kind of get a scare early on, 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: to to to have to do something that you wouldn't 100 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: expect them to have to do to to to win 101 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 1: where they don't have their best information, their best game. 102 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: You know, Gonzaga is tied with what was eight minutes 103 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: left in the game against a sixteen seat. You know, 104 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: like that, like you need these moments because number one, 105 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna make you tougher for the rest of the 106 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: tournament because none of these games are gonna be easy. 107 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: And number two, you have to be able to show 108 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: when things get tight, your shots aren't falling, you're getting 109 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: a tight whistle, everything's working against you, can you find 110 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: ways to win? And I feel like most of the 111 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: champions that we've had in the last twenty years have 112 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: all had at least one game where you're like, oh, 113 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: they're they're done, They're they're not gonna win this one, 114 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: they're not gonna win this one, and then they find 115 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: ways to do it. Next you know, they're doing the 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: one shining moment they couldn't have the nets. Yeah, and 117 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: you know who doesn't have the heart of a champion 118 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: to fight back and get through it as a fraud 119 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: like Auburn. Oh my gosh, this is freaking choke artist. 120 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, what an embarrassment. They got run out of 121 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: the gym, run out of the gym by the Miami Hurricanes. 122 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean, uh, that's embarrassing. Obviously, 123 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: you know we're not gonna dive into you know, every 124 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: single game Sweet sixteen shaped up. Listen, there are a 125 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: couple of clunkers. You know, there's some not good matchups there. 126 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: I will say right out of the gate that I 127 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: am fascinated by Duke Texas Tech. If you guys watch 128 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: Duke Duke Michigan State man the kid Paolo Bancho, I 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: think I would take him number one in the draft. 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: He is, I mean, borderline unstoppable. Like Rob. I've been 131 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: trying to think, like, you know, I like to do 132 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: the NBA comparisons right because it's an easy frame of reference. Obviously, 133 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: they're they're difficult to make the comparisons on eighteen year 134 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: old kids to pros. But I've been struggling with ben Chero. 135 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: He's about, he's about he's a load on the block, 136 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: he can shoot the three, he's a good passer. I mean, listen, 137 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go overboard. Do not put this 138 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: in the description of the pod Rob But I see 139 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: and I again I'm not going overboard. I do see 140 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: some lebron Ish dominant qualities from ben Chero. Now, I 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna be Lebron James, obviously, but a 142 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: young Lebron was like way bouncier and just unbelievable. But 143 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: like you know, Miami Lebron was a little heavier but 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: still fast as hell. And I'm just telling you, ben 145 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: Chero is dominant one on one. You feel like the 146 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: only guy that can hold him back and hold him 147 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: down is coach k because in later in that Michigan 148 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: State game, you know there's Duke doesn't play defense. Duke 149 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: doesn't play defense. Ben Chero had a block on a 150 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: guy who beat him. You just recovered, swatted the ship 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: out of it off the backboard. That was a pretty 152 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: high level game, Duke Michigan State. And then you watch 153 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: the other guy who could be the number one pick 154 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: Saturday night Chat home group kind of gets sunned by 155 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: some of the guys on Memphis. They got some they 156 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: got some dogs on Memphis. Jalen During is a beast 157 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: and the guy who took over that game, Rob I 158 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you were like me on Saturday night 159 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: staying in watching watching the n c A tournament. But 160 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: Drew Timmy, the guy with the handlebar mustache, who you know, 161 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I was almost the player of the year last year. 162 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: There was like, oh, maybe he goes to the NBA. 163 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: Not even close. Uh, he was like not going to 164 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: get drafted. Apparently he was doing nothing in the first half, 165 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: getting pushed around by Memphis, and I swear he scored 166 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: like twenty five points in the second half while chat 167 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: home Grown did like nothing. So I like home growd 168 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and he's seven one. I think he weighs about what 169 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: I do. Like, Um, I'm not seven one or close 170 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: to it. And I like the potential for him. No, 171 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be Kevin Durant, but you 172 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: can see why people say, you know, he's got a 173 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: good stroke. He don't really make a lot of threes, 174 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: but the stroke is there. I think I would go 175 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: Paolo over over check. Are you were you impressed with 176 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: him or no? Oh? Absolutely? I mean I have a 177 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: comparison for Paulo that this is gonna sound like an insult, 178 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: but I don't mean it this way, and I know 179 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the reason why it's gonna sound like. And he reminds 180 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: me that's the college version at least of a bouncier 181 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: Derrick Williams from Arizona back in the day. Now, Derrick 182 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: Williams in college was a monster. His problem was when 183 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: he got to the NBA didn't have a position. He 184 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: wasn't athletic enough to play small forward, and he wasn't 185 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: quite tall enough to play power forward. And at that 186 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: time of of the n b A you had six 187 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: eleven seven foot power forwards on the block and he 188 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: was just getting abused. And today top five, he went 189 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: number two, Number two went number two. Uh. In today's NBA, 190 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: everybody's six eight to six ten. There's no there's no 191 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: dominant bigs outside of your kitchen and beat you know, like, 192 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: he can be a straight four powerful ward who can 193 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: switch out onto the wings. And I think he's gonna 194 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: blossom at the next level wherever he goes. For my money, 195 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: I would still go with chet home Grin. I think 196 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: that his skills are so high level that once his 197 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: body catches up to him, he's gonna be a monster. Um, 198 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: not quite Anthony Davis level, because he has those kind 199 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: of skills like in college Davis very thin as well, 200 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: great defender, great room protector. Yeah, but a d even 201 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: in college with had to be at least twenty thirty 202 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: pounds heavier than what chet Homegren is now. And that's 203 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: the difference. So once his body grows in, you'll see, 204 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: uh it lights out Hall of Fame quality power forward 205 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: in the NBA. I think, by far the weakest Sweet 206 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: sixteen game Iowa State, which is like unwatchable against Miami. 207 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Iowa State is one of three teams that made the 208 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen and they didn't even score sixty points in 209 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: the second round game. Like those I it's Iowa State, 210 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and Arkansas. By the way, Arkansas will have 211 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: no chance against Gonzaga. They have guards to hang for 212 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: a little, but they have no size. Um, I am 213 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: curious where you are on your U c l A Bruins. 214 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Who will face North Carolina which but you know led 215 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: Baylor by choked it away and survived it over time. 216 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: But U c l A. I think they're best player, 217 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: not their best score, their best player. Uh. I don't 218 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: want to butcher. His name is it hi May Hawkes, 219 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: hockeys hocket. I just call him Triple J. At any rate, 220 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: he's the best player, rob. I mean the guy is 221 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: on the block. He's the best offensive rebounder. I think 222 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: he's second and assists the offense like road flows through him. 223 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: You trust him with the ball. I know Jusan is 224 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: a better scorer and tigers the point guard. But I 225 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: think if he's not able to come back, I don't 226 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: know if they get but I don't think they get 227 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: by U c l A or U NC. Sorry, you know, 228 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: I told you number one that not to be worried 229 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: about St. Mary's, that U c l A was gonna 230 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: shoot as poorly as they did in the opening round, 231 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: and they didn't. Um. My concern about hockey is is 232 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: he eats like six seven on a good day. Like 233 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: he's not big, and they playing my power forward that 234 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: U n C front line. Number one, they just looked taller, 235 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: but number two, they're they're springing, they're they're not It's 236 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: a lot different than what he saw against St. Mary's. 237 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: So I think this is gonna be one of those 238 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: games that I think it's gonna be the game of 239 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: the weekend, that's gonna be the one that's gonna be 240 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: the most hotly contested because they're so different the way 241 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: that each team is built, in the way they play. Uh, 242 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a Tiger Campbell game. This is 243 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: this is gonna be one on Tiger. Look, he's the 244 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: two time All Packed twelve first team point guard. He's 245 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: not tall, he's not flashy, he's not explosive, but he's 246 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: a fantastic floor general for college basketball. And if you 247 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: cl is gonna win this game, it's gonna be because 248 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: that they're making smart and executing well, smart decision executing 249 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: well in the half court. They're not gonna be able 250 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: to outrun U n C. So I think if you 251 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: is gonna win this game, it's gonna be because of 252 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: their diminutive point guard with the big hair, not because 253 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: now they if they do advance, um, they'll have to 254 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: face the winner of Produce St. Peters St. Peter's the 255 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: fifteen seed is there. Uh perdue is dangerous. Um, they 256 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: can beat you multiple ways because they got the seven 257 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: foot four kid from Canada, and it was pretty clear 258 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: that Texas was going to be a load for him. Uh, 259 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: just the quickness and the activity inside. So they went 260 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: to Williams and Williams was awesome. Uh he was an 261 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: All American last year and now he's coming off the 262 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: bench because of the big seven foot four kid. Williams 263 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: was tremendous. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 264 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: lineup in the nation.

Rob. 267 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to get into controversy, but 268 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: did you see the free throw discrepancy in Purdue Texas? 269 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: Perdue attempted forty six free throws Texas, I believe fourteen. Yeah, 270 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean that was the theme all weaken though, wasn't 271 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: it right? You opening up talking about Arizona and that 272 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: non call there at the end called regulation. I know, 273 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: but that seemed to be the theme in at least 274 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: half of the games that I watched over the weekend. 275 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: You know, I was on Twitter during the Baylor uh 276 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: comeback against un C that we just talked about. I 277 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: had stopped watching the game because you know, Baylor was 278 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: getting stacked and then there's this flagrant to call which 279 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: seemed like a phantom call shouldn't have happened. And next thing, 280 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, my tweeter, my twitter feed is blowing up 281 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: like this is the worst officiating I've ever seen. This 282 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: is embarrassing the n C double it needs to get 283 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: this right. And that only seemed to get worse as 284 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: each game went further along into the weekend. You know, 285 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: every other game, there was a lot of ground swell, 286 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: especially on social media, saying that the officiating has been terrible. 287 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: They're like, I'm not saying that somebody is being paid off, 288 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: but somebody's being paid off kind of thing like that's 289 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: exactly what we were getting on Twitter. And I didn't 290 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: watch enough of that game to say the the Perdue 291 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: Texas game to say they're not that was the case, 292 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: but I did sense that that was a theme across 293 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: most of those games that that the officiated was terrible. 294 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: I saw j Billis went after those guys um, which 295 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: is understandable, and I would have too if I was watching. 296 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: I was watching a lot of that on my phone. Listen, 297 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: I will say, I know you guys really want me 298 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: to rip the Browns for Deshaun Watson PS that's not happening. Um, 299 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: it was one of those weekends where I had to 300 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: watch some of the games on my phone. And I 301 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: will give a shout out to the March Madness on 302 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: Demand app. If you guys have that app, it's free, 303 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: you just get it.

My son had a basketball game 307 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: and then my daughter at a soccer game, so I'm like, 308 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, watching and watching the game. And then I 309 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: had to drive them to a birthday party. And yes, 310 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: I plugged the phone into my car and I booked 311 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: up the bluetooth. Now I'm not watching the game, but 312 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: I'm listening to it. I made the kids listen to 313 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: the game as I had to drive them because I'm 314 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: missing this stuff, guys. I'm sorry. And yes, when I 315 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: came to a stop, I checked the scores of the 316 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: other games. If one was closer, I would switch to 317 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: that game and listen to that one. That's how dedicated 318 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: I am. And now now I will just say I 319 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: was jonesing for hoops because I skipped Thursday to watch 320 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: the tournament, and I decided some of the guys were 321 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna play Sunday, so we went up Sunday morning. I'm like, listen, 322 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: we gotta get in earlier. You know, the game start 323 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: at nine. I know we tip off at eight ish. 324 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we tip off around nine. So, um, if 325 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: we get into games great. So of course, you know, 326 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to flex or anything. But your boy 327 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: had a great first game, and um, we played this 328 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: really good team. I had an attempt game winner came 329 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: up short our center rebounds that puts it in kind 330 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: of like the Arizona finished, except Coco dunked the rebound back. Um. 331 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: And then it was one of those weird things, like 332 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking about all the crap I had to 333 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: do a ka take my kids to soccer games, uh, 334 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: and then take my daughter to a basketball game, all 335 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: that crap. And then the next two games, next two 336 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: or three games, I forget. I shot very poorly, missed 337 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: a million shots, uh, and it felt awful, And you know, 338 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: I'll blame it on Rob that I was thinking about 339 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: the n s A tournament and trying to be a 340 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: bit of a hero, you know, just jacking shots, and 341 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: I think I probably missed like eleven shots in a row. 342 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: Not a big deal. Um. You know we wanted we 343 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: want a couple more games. And then our last time 344 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: we had no legs and we left. And I was 345 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: fine because I had to go anyway. Um. You know 346 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: that that who cares good way, but I had to 347 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: go anyway. I was leaving. Um, And then I came 348 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: and watched the games, and you know, kids had soccer. 349 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: I will say this the coolest youth sports moment Robbed 350 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: thirty seconds before we get to Watson, the coolest youth 351 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: sports moment of the weekend. So my son's on a 352 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: fifth sixth grade soccer team, and I had heard I 353 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: missed the game last weekend and I heard they're really good. 354 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: So I show up. I'm watching and this one kid 355 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: is obviously very good sixth grader, you know, just dynamic 356 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: score other teams, or this kid's scores our team as 357 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: a corner kick. So this kid kicks it. They not 358 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: get out of bounce. The superstar guy goes to the coach, 359 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: comes over, Coach, let me take it. I can score, 360 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: and he goes, okay, okay, take it. Rob The kid 361 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: bends a blast from the corner the goalie cannot save it, 362 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: it goes off his hands and in and I had 363 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: never seen a sixth grader say let me take it. 364 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: I got I'll score, and he scored, and then he 365 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: got another quote later for the hat trick, and they 366 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: went and I was just like, who is this guy? Um? 367 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: Sixth grade soccer? You guys don't really care at any rate. 368 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: Let's move on. By the way, Um Calcutta update, Gonzaga 369 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: looking good at thousand, Kansas looking great at two and 370 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: um my buddies who listened. One guy has Purdue um 371 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: which had some value and they have perdue in Michigan. 372 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: By the way, we didn't talk Michigan, Villanova, rob any 373 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: Lean there. Villanova. Yeah, I kind of kind of think 374 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: Villanova too, but the big seven footer or I don't 375 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: know how they're gonna handle Dickinson. He's very good, he's skilled. 376 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Michigan is a problem. Did I would not rule out 377 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: Michigan going to the final four in that bracket. Arizona, 378 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna struggle with Houston, probably win, and 379 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: then Villanova. Michigan feels like a toss up.

Let's get to the NFL 384 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: and a colossal story that dropped I guess like late 385 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon. I don't remember the exact timing, but Deshaun 386 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: Watson had ruled out the Browns on Thursday and said 387 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: he was down to the Falcons or Saints, and then 388 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: something changed. And I think what the something pretty obviously 389 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: is is the Cleveland Browns, We're willing to go somewhere 390 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: that they had not been willing to go before, and 391 00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: that is they were willing to guarantee his entire contract. 392 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Apparently Robin checked me if it's wrong. That had never 393 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: been done before, and the brown said, will guarantee your 394 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: entire contract, all of it. I think two is at 395 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: the number, and it's the first time it's ever happened, 396 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: like as a trade kind of thing, because Kirk Cousins 397 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: has gotten nothing but guarantee contracts, you know, for the 398 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: last five years. So Watson, who did not play last year, 399 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: he is going to go to Cleveland, from Houston to Cleveland. 400 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: They lose Landry, they lose O'Dell, but they addam Maori 401 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: Cooper and Deshaun Watson has chosen Cleveland. Like, let that 402 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: sink in, Joe, Kim, Noah, wherever you are, nobody wants 403 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to go to Cleveland. Well he just just sighted. I 404 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: want to go to Cleveland. Now. It obviously is because 405 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: of the money. And you see all these people coming 406 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: out saying the Browns sold their soul, they ruined the 407 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: future quarterback market. What is Lamar Jackson gonna get now? Folks, again, 408 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: I think we're overreacting just a little to the guaranteed 409 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 1: money aspect. Remember, the Cleveland Browns were supremely desperate. They've 410 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: never had a franchise quarterback. Baker Mayfield was not a 411 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Johnny Manziel was not a franchise quarterback. Bernie 412 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: Kosar was was our good quarterback. But I think instantly 413 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is the greatest quarterback in Brown's franchise history 414 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: and he hasn't even played a snap. Now, I agree 415 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: that some people are gonna be outraged, And when I 416 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: say some, it is a of a vocal minority, right, 417 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: It's a couple of people who are gonna be how 418 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: could Browns give all this money to a guy twenty 419 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: two cases blah blah blah, Like it's easy. Sports are 420 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: a business. Businesses are desperate. I will remind you guys, 421 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 1: the owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslum, his company had 422 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: to pay a ninety two million dollar fine for fraud 423 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: to avoid persecution prosecution by the government. His company totally 424 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: just withheld like fifty eight million dollars from customers and 425 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: rebates and discounts, like basically they cheated their customers. And 426 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: then the I R S and the FBI came after 427 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: him and they're like, oh, we'll just give you ninety 428 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: two million dollars and we'll call it a day. And 429 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: that's what happened. And this guy runs the Browns. Are 430 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: you really surprised at the moral decisions he's making? But 431 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: moral is the key word here. Because I saw somebody, 432 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Judy Bautista NFL network. I know her a little bit. 433 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: I think I interviewed her way back in the day 434 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: at the Big League wrote a column like and basically 435 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: was saying, like, we can't use the NFL as our 436 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: moral arbiter, you know, like you can't say that your 437 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: low NFL team, Hey look up to them as the 438 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: moral authority. Well, my question would be when the hell 439 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: and why the hell would you ever do that? Anyway, 440 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: we're looking to professional athletes who are like twenty five, 441 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: it's having like the morals that we should look up 442 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: to multimillionaires guys who are handed millions of dollars or 443 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: are we really leading on the billionaire owners? Is the 444 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: moral authority? Really? No? I think that is silly. And 445 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: if you are, if you the listener or your friends 446 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: or whoever is, you know, making moral decisions based on 447 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: your football team, then you have lots of problems. I'm sorry, 448 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: You've got lots of problems. Like where are you supposed 449 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: to get your morals? You know, I guess if you're 450 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: a kid, you get them from your parents. Hopefully you've 451 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: got good parents, maybe your grandparents, um, perhaps a teacher, 452 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: if you go to church. You know, like, think about 453 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: how for most of time, where we got our morals 454 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: from our community? You know, we had small type communities. 455 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: If you guys have ever read the book Tribe by 456 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: Sebastian Younger. I heard about it on the Rogan podcast 457 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: and I went and read it. It's a great book 458 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: and The problem in America now is we don't have 459 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: these small, tight link communities anymore. Who are we all 460 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: leaning on for decision making and morals? It should not 461 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: be athletes. It certainly should not be the internet or 462 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: social media. But this idea that, oh, how could the 463 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: Browns did? Like, come on, this is a business. Do 464 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: you think in four years if the Browns won the 465 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, anybody's gonna say, I can't believe they did that. Really, 466 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: how many fans in Cleveland are gonna boycott the Browns 467 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: because of Deshaun Watson's legal problems? Oh, and by the way, 468 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: no criminal charges. I would bring up Kobe Bryant, but 469 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,719 Speaker 1: I don't want to really get into a discussion about that, 470 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: Like this idea that Lakers fans quit because of Kobe situation, 471 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: or you could go down the list for any athlete, Like, no, 472 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: no fans are gonna bail on the brown Yeah, they're 473 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, that sucks, that's I don't I don't 474 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: really like that move. And then you know what, week 475 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: one rolls around and if Watson starting and there's a 476 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: chance he might not be well, we'll get to that 477 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: in a sect. They're gonna be cheering. Nobody's gonna be 478 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: booing Deshaun Watson. You're they're just not that's not gonna happen. 479 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: In Cleveland, they are thrilled that they have a franchise quarterback. 480 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: And oh yeah, Deshaun Watson is a franchise quarterback. He 481 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: proved that for many years in Houston, carrying a ship 482 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: franchise on his back to the playoffs. So this idea 483 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: that Browns fans, oh, they're they're gonna quit watching the Browns. 484 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: There's just no you think there's a lot going on 485 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: in Ohio. The passion of Browns fans is he's gonna 486 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: bail because the Deshaun Watson now speaking of his legal 487 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: troubles and people will not like this, but the the 488 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: agent that he has structured his deal. So he's only 489 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: making one million dollars this year. Why one million, Well, 490 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: if he gets suspended two games, four, six, eight, whatever number, 491 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: that's what he'll have to pay out of his game fines. 492 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: Well guess what if he had gotten thirty five million 493 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: this year in his contract of forty he would have 494 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: been on the hook for a lot of money. Now, 495 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: because it's one million, it's palatable now that I can 496 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 1: see people really ticked about. I understand, I get it 497 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: you're upset, but I'm sorry this. You know, this is 498 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: a pretty savvy move by the agent. Is it a 499 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: Is it a like a nice thing to do knowing 500 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: his suspension could be coming. I'm not saying it definitely coming. 501 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: I think most people think it is coming. But like 502 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: it's just he's saving his his client money. How many 503 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: how many superstar athletes around the NFL are making a 504 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: call to Watson's agent to see, hey, you want to 505 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: get in business together because of this deal he pulled off. 506 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: He got his quarterback coming off a one year suspension 507 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: or a one year sitting out of football, the richest 508 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: quarterback guaranteed money contract ever. Rob Well, I don't know 509 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: my going in too much on the moral crowd here, No, 510 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's been clear and if you're refusing 511 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: to acknowledge at this point this year fall but it's 512 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: been clear for years now that the NFL will tolerate 513 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: damn near anything if your talent is worth it. Okay, 514 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown has been in multiple situations off the field 515 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: up until probably this next season is going to be 516 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: the first time it's ever impacted whether or not I 517 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: can get a job. Okay, you know, um, Randy Gregory 518 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: just got a fat contract with the Broncos, and I 519 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: believe he was suspended like four or five consecutive seasons, 520 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: like parts of consecutive science for for various issues. They 521 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: don't care, all right. The only person who seems to 522 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: have cotton flak for whatever he did, and the one 523 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: that stuck with him is Colin Kaepernick. And the reason 524 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: being is because he was no longer a top ten 525 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: quarterback in football. If Aaron Rodgers had been the guy 526 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: who now now during the anthem, I promise you he 527 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: would have never missed a game. And Deshaun Watson say, 528 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: what you want about is off the field stuff. He 529 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: is an elite quarterback. He is a franchise quarterback, so 530 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: teams are gonna look past damn near anything with him. 531 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: I want to stick to one thing that you said. 532 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: They're right at the end though, because to me, I 533 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: thought that was the biggest deal. Is he came off 534 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: of one year not playing. He's got twenty two civil 535 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: cases hanging over his head for sexual assault allegations. Not 536 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: only did he dictate where he wanted to go, he 537 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: got the richest contract in NFL history in terms of 538 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: guaranteed money, not by like a million, not by like 539 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: five million, by eighty million dollars. His guaranteed contract is 540 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars more than any other player in NFL history. 541 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: He sent chunka chain. You know what. This is gonna 542 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: sound funny, but you need to have a round of 543 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: applause for Deshaun Watson because discount whatever he did or 544 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: didn't do allegedly. When NFL players have leverage, when they 545 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: have something that they can hold against another team, in 546 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: this case, he held it against like five teams and 547 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: they actually use it, that's something that needs to be commended. 548 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: Because the NFL is a league. Well, they'll cut you. 549 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: They'll sign you today and cut you a week from 550 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: now because they don't want to pay your guarantee money. 551 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: They'll find every single way under the sun, every single 552 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: excuse to make sure that you're not affecting their bottom line. 553 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: All right, The people say the salary cap, Hey, you know, um, 554 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: we can't sign this guy. We gotta restructure because our 555 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: cap issues. Have you seen what's been happening in New Orleans. 556 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: They went from like sixty million dollars over to suddenly 557 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: having enough space to fit in Deshaun Watson, had he 558 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: chose them, Well, yeah, by the way, I did see 559 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: that it's his Watson picked elsewhere. What's his name, Armstead 560 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: is now the offense is a left tackle, left tackle. Yeah, 561 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: he's kind of a big deal to the Saint's offensive line. 562 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: It sounds like he's shopping around for the biggest offer 563 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: he can get it Miami Dolphins or the Dolphins. But 564 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: it's just like had more people, quarterbacks especially need to 565 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: take advantage when they can. It's reason why I know 566 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: you disagree with me before. Why I was so upset 567 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes was when he took that twelve year, 568 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: four and a million dollar contract which only had like 569 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: ten percent of it guaranteed. Because if there was ever 570 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: a time for a guy to get a fully guaranteed deal, 571 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: it was him. He was off to arguably the greatest 572 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: oar in NFL history. So for Deshaun Watson recognizing the 573 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: situation that he's in, recognizing that there's more than one suitor, 574 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: recognizing his age and his potential to cash in the 575 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: way he did, is something that more NFL players need 576 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: to do. I don't think more guys are gonna do it, actually, 577 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: because they're all afraid of what might come if they 578 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: hold teams over a barrel like this. But it's something 579 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: that I wish more players would do when they have 580 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity. Yeah. Um, and I again, I think you 581 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: guys are underestimating the desperation of the Cleveland Browns to 582 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: find a quarterback. You guys do realize if you don't 583 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: have a quarterback, your odds of going anywhere are like 584 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: good luck. Look at the last two off seasons. Brady 585 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: goes to the Bucks, who did not have a quarterback. 586 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: They win the Super Bowl. Matt Stafford goes to the Rams, 587 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: who they had a quarterback in golf, but he wasn't 588 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: very good. They go to the super Bowl and win it. 589 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. It goes from you know, being like the 590 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: number one pick two, Oh my gosh, this guy is 591 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: really good and the Bengals go to the super Bowl, Like, yeah, 592 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not surprised at all that the Bengals 593 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: had to The Browns had to go out and you know, 594 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: sell their soul or whatever you guys want to say. 595 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: Like this team, this bridge has been a punchline for 596 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: forty years like people, just the French as the fired 597 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick drafted Johnny Manziel. They went winless a few 598 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: years ago. The record for Haslem since he got since 599 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: he bought the team and looks like middle midway through 600 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: forty four and ninety four. Like guys, it is a 601 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: bad franchise. So yeah, they're gonna overpay do whatever it 602 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: takes to get a really good quarterback in the in 603 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: the in the locker room. Now, I did see the 604 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: quote where anonymously haslm is saying, which time we need 605 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: to get an adult in there, you know, alluding to 606 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield not being an adult. I'll just point out that, um, 607 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson had twenty two civil cases pending twenty two 608 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: He's an adult getting massages from every woman under the 609 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: sun that he fights, that he meets on Instagram. But 610 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: come on, hot, this this idea like Haslam is a 611 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: bit of a screwball. Like I don't know that that's 612 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: someone that you want to work with or who eventually 613 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: could end up taking you anywhere. But Deshaun Watson is. 614 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: So Watson goes from the jack awful situation in Houston 615 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: to now the Cleveland Browns, which you know, the Factory 616 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: of Sadness is the name of their stadium, like it 617 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: has been a clown show over there forever. Now, I 618 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: like Stefanski, everybody does you got a great offensive line, 619 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper? I think you need to either build through 620 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: the draft. And by the way, what do they give 621 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: up for Watson? One pick in this year's draft. That's it. 622 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: There are future picks, but just one in this draft. 623 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: So they're able to go out and get a couple 624 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: of guys. I mean, I don't know. I think the 625 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: Browns are pretty good. Here's the weird thing, Rob and 626 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: I guess we should save it for next week. We're 627 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: going along here on a Monday. But when you look 628 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: at the quarterbacks and the best teams in the league, 629 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: it's like all a f C. You remove Brady and Rogers, 630 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: two guys who were you know, thirties seven us who's 631 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: the best young quarterback in the NFC? And I'll quickly 632 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: buzz just for your enjoyment, I'll quickly buzz through the teams. 633 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: Washington has Carson Wentz. He's obviously not one of the 634 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: good young quarterbacks in the league. The new York Giants 635 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: have Daniel Jones. I don't need to say anything. Jalen 636 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: Hurts of the Eagles obviously, still no need to say anything. 637 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: He's not a great young quarterback. Uh. Dallas Cowboys have 638 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: Dak Yeah, what what do you say on a deck? 639 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: He's under thirty five, that's for sure? Is he great? No? 640 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: Was he very good? Good? Minnesota Vikings Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields. 641 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a great young quarterback. We'll see. 642 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: Maybe there's something they're golf with. The Lions Saints. To 643 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: my knowledge, as of right now, they don't have a 644 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Falcons have Matt Ryan. He's not good or young. 645 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: Carolina has Sam Donald. I'm sorry, Sam, and then you 646 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray and Trey Lance. We don't know. Seahawks. 647 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. They might end up with Baker Mayfield. 648 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: But basically, one good young quarterback under the age of 649 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: thirty in the NFC, that's it Carlin Murray. Now if 650 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: you go over to the a f C, well you 651 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: got josh Allen mac Jones was the rookie of the year. 652 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: I don't know Zach Wilson. I'm just gonna toss him 653 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: in there because uh to a tongue. Valoa nothing.

Who do you think the Colts end 658 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 1: up getting? Not Baker Mayfield? Definitely not. I I can't 659 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: see them going from one game manager Carson Wentz to 660 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: another game manager Baker Mayfield, who was less physically talented. 661 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: I just don't see that happenings. Not a lot of 662 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: great options out there. Um Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence. We think 663 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: he'll be great. He hasn't been great yet. Houston, what 664 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: are they doing in quarterback? I have no idea. Davis Mills. 665 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: Basically they're going to try to tank, you would assume. 666 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: And then the a f C West mahomes car Herbert 667 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Like I mean, when you stack them up 668 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: to next to each other, it is just unbelievable, how 669 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: just rigorous that a f C West is going to be. 670 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: Now that all the teams were pretty good this year, 671 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: three of them had a positive point differential except for 672 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: Rob's Raiders, and the Raiders went out and made a 673 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: pretty damn good move. Um or two. I don't know. 674 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: I can I say to yeah, very good. Um So, 675 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: like I just I don't know what right now the 676 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: NFC does um to to get better quarterbacks, will be 677 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: drafting some of the top up in you know, we 678 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: we shall see, but like giants really need to figure 679 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 1: it out. I mean, Kyler Murray's your best young quarterback 680 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: and league. By the way, Kyler Murray has got to 681 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: be thrilled that in a ten days span, Russell Wilson 682 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: got traded and then Tom Brady came back, and then 683 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got traded. Like nobody even remembers that Kyler 684 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: Murray is in a spat with his front office end owner. 685 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: That's like long gone. Um. I thought you're gonna say, 686 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: has to be thrilled because of that contract, because you 687 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: know that he's going to be looking for a fully 688 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: guaranteed deal to now, Oh man, I don't know. You know, 689 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: can the guy win a playoff game? First? You know, 690 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, he won a lot of games. He got 691 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,359 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in Houston, A bunch. I think they 692 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: got to the a FC title game, did they probably 693 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: blew like a twenty point lead, right, That's why they 694 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: were ye big early and then they got smashed by Mahomes. Guys. 695 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: I can't hate. I can't be one of these guys 696 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: who's just gonna hate Cleveland because they went out and 697 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: got Deshaun Watson. This is a business. If it's going 698 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: to hurt your bottom line, I don't think you want 699 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: to do it. I think they made a calculator risk 700 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: that this is not going to hurt the bottom line. Now, 701 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: what if more stuff comes out, Well, it's then you've 702 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: gotta you've got new information, you gotta reassess, right, I 703 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: mean nothing has come out in the last I don't know, 704 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: eight months, right, so we're still stuck with like, you know, 705 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: the stories we've read before, and they're obviously very bad stories. 706 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: Not a good look for Deshaun Watson. I've told the 707 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: story many times on here that I get regular massages 708 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: every two weeks from the same lady who came referred 709 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: to highly. I've referred multiple friends through my wife's gone tour, 710 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: like that's how find a good masseuse, Not like, hey, 711 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: this Instagram profile is popping. You give massages. Oh, I'll 712 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: fly you in down like come on, like something clearly 713 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: went down and it just doesn't appear great. By the way, 714 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: I think Deshaun Watson did get engaged. Is that accurate? Yes? 715 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: By the way, can I know we're up against them? 716 00:38:58,480 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: Can I speak in this one hot take for you? 717 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: The Browns will not make the playoffs next season. I 718 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: don't think that's that hot. They're not the best team 719 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: in the division, right. No, it's not just that. But 720 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm totally one percent believe he's gonna get suspended or 721 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: at least eight games because the NFL it's not like 722 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: they need uh criminal charges to stick. They don't need 723 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: any of that, like wet because it's so widely known 724 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: that he's only getting one million this year, does the 725 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: NFL throw the book at him and give him ten 726 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: games or something obscene without saying that, of course, but 727 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: you want to work around the fine will bleep you 728 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: just Shawn Watson, You've got ten games. And then that 729 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: pick that conveys to Houston. I mean, de Shaun's out 730 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: eight or ten games, they're not making the playoffs. That 731 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: pick that goes to Houston would then be a top 732 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: fifteen pick, top ten pig maybe, as opposed to whatever 733 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: it is now this year, which is not great. I 734 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: don't know where the Browns are drafting. Yeah, that's by 735 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: See that's a good take. I like that. I mean, 736 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: is that too spicy? No? I mean I would not 737 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: be surprised if the NFL does something squirrely to make 738 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: up for that one million dollars salary and the metre 739 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: fact that we're saying this is a little weird because 740 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't would have been what Roethlisberger to get for 741 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: his Uh it's like two or four games way back. 742 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: I think he got four, but that again, that was 743 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: one instance. He has twenty two. I mean like a 744 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: Zeke got sixburgers to go to court, yeah, but no 745 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 1: criminal charges wherever um filed. He still got four. Yeah. 746 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: I actually have a list here, uh, courtesy of our 747 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: friend Albert Brier. This is my This is from two 748 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: years ago. The list of players who were suspended by 749 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: the league despite not ever being arrested or charged. Zeke 750 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: six games domestic violence allegations, big Ben six games, sexual 751 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: assault allegations, Jamis three games sexual harassment accusation, Kareem Hunt 752 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,399 Speaker 1: eight games assault allegations. Not. The reason why they got 753 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: eight was because the video Jimmy Smith from the Evens 754 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: four games domestic violence. And then there were a few 755 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: guys who were suspended despite having the charges dismissed during 756 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: pre trial like a settlement. But maybe ten is not 757 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: out of the realm. No, not at all, especially but 758 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: there's twenty two women. I mean, it's weird because he 759 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: didn't play a game last year. Now. I know people 760 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: will say, well, he still got paid. Fine, he should 761 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: if it'll help the cause. You know, hey, if it's 762 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: going to help reduce my suspension, I'll pay you the 763 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: back money for time, for for for Because he set 764 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: out on his own. There's no way they're going to 765 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: make that work. Yeah, I'm just I would not put 766 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: it past his agent, given that he was able to 767 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: finagle the all guaranteed money and um every other wish 768 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: that he wanted. I wouldn't put anything by his agent, guys. 769 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: I would not be that agent, whoever whoever he is. 770 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: Of course, all right, I barely survived the weekend. I 771 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: will talk to you tomorrow. We got a good guest 772 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 1: coming up. Talk. I won't tell what we're talking. I 773 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: don't want to spoil it, but obviously we'll talk a 774 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: lot of into the tournament this week, and ba's getting 775 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: close to the playoffs. Lakers officially in tenth in the West. 776 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: Wrap your head around that magic. They losing the play 777 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: and rob to New Orleans the play miss the plus stopping. 778 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: Oh I actually did see the Spurs. I haven't, you know, 779 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: seen much of it, but Spurs beat the Warriors on 780 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: like a last second put back right. Yes, okay, just 781 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: look at this way. Next five games, Lakers are up 782 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: two and a half games on San Antonio at Calves 783 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: home to Philly, at Pelicans, at MAVs at Utah home 784 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: to Pelicans. Spurs get the Blazers and the Rockets in 785 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: four their next six. Just saying, weird things have happened. 786 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: Could could this team go to in six? Lakers doing 787 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: five in that stretch, They absolutely could go up to 788 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: five in that stretch. Have you seen them play? They'll 789 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: probably hold on to first if they go too and five. 790 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: They just can't go in six. Can't lose every game. Alright, guys, 791 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you tomorrow.
