8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys. I'm big Jimmy Hendricks fan,

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: and uh, Jimmy's got one of his old songs, still Raining,

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: still dreaming. It just reminds me of the Masters right now.

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: A little snippet from jim Hendrick. It is just nasty

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: right now. And it was so beautiful on Thursday and

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit on Friday. It's like Indiana weather

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: over there at Augusta National. It's crazy right now. Yeah, yeah,

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: it's Um, it's that you got trees fallen over. Um,

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: you know it, look out. I mean the low price

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: on concessions aren't gonna save you this weekend. Yeah, it's

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: It's been an interesting tournament for so many different reasons.

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Obviously the rain you get, we see that, you know,

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: year after year, it's, uh, it's the season for that

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: in Georgia, I suppose, because there have been a lot

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: of wet wild Masters. But then you know, you got

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: to live golfers infiltrating the field. You know, apparently am

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: a Phil Mickelson who refused to speak to anybody during

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: the champions dinner. Uh. You know, it's there's just a

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a weird vibe um, at least from

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: the way the Masters is being covered. You know, I

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: always try to do this because especially having you know,

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: played football, you know, and the NFL is well covered.

30
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Everybody knows there's i mean a million articles written every

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: day about you know, what team is going to draft who?

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: And you know, once a regular season kicks off, there's

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: a million articles about, Hey, a's wrong with the you know,

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: Houston offense. You know, why is the Jaguars defense letting

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: everyone down? I don't know why I'm picking the FC South,

36
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: but you understand what I'm saying. The point being like,

37
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of noise on the outside, it doesn't

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: always reflect exactly what's going on inside the ropes. So

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm very curious, like what this Masters feels like for

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the players, because for the fans it definitely feels different.

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: You have a Tiger Woods limping around, you have all

42
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: this hubbub about the live golfers, and for the media,

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: they're looking for storylines and they're pounding that narrative. I'm

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: very curious what the golfers think. I'm very curious if

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: they think it feels different. Yeah, it's been. I think

46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: every Masters is unique because it kind of takes this

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: golf course kind of takes on a personality of its own. Unfortunately,

48
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: it has been a very hectic week. I think the

49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: weather has dominated the storylines a little bit more than

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: some of the live stuff. I'll be honest. The live

51
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: stuff hasn't impacted me as much. Brooks Kepka. It's kind

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: of funny, actually, he said after the round yesterday. He said, well,

53
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: if you would have been this healthy, you know, maybe

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made the decision to leave the PGA

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: go to It would have been a tougher decision I

56
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: think is exactly what he said. And that's the most

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: interesting of the live headlines. And I guess this is

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: because he's having the best week of any of them.

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: But hey, Phil Nicholson's hanging around. I mean, he's in

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the top ten right now. Is we're gonna eventually turn

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the page to the third round. Tiger just birdied fifteen,

62
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: so he looks like he's going to make the cut,

63
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: and I know that was a very popular bet. Actually

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: more people were betting on him to miss the cut

65
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: this week, and it looks like he is going to

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: make the cut as long as he doesn't completely implode

67
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: over the final three holes. So we'll get Tiger for

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: the weekend. We'll get a live golfer leading the field

69
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: come Moving Day, which technically is today, but we've got

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: to finish up round two. And oh, by the way,

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: we've got John Ram, Colin Morrikala, Victor Hovlin, day Burn Speet, Michelson,

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Nieman Rose. I mean, it is a stacked leaderboard at

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: the top, and usually no one comes from behind in

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: this tournament. I believe it's sixteen of the last seventeen

75
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: players or winners have been in the top within four

76
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: strokes of the lead after the first round. So right now,

77
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: those guys I just mentioned are probably one of those

78
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: guys is gonna win this thing, and if it is keepka.

79
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the headlines are going to be outrageous come

80
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Monday morning. I'll give you three brief snippets on three

81
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: different golfers. Let's get into it right over. I feel

82
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: like I need to tell us straighter, but this is radio.

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Let's go with Tiger first off, Yeah, weap. I think

84
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: that Tiger, like you said, Jared birdieing fifteen, he's most

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: likely going to make the cut, which we hope he does.

86
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: The only thing that I think of is the lesser

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: of two evils. I would rather have Tiger Woods miss

88
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: the cut. If Tiger Woods making the cut is unable

89
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to finish, because Tiger is he just thought of as

90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: that warrior. He's cutting through everything Rocco mediate, and he's

91
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: got this knee injury, his knees falling apart, He's dragging

92
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: himself around and he's still winning. That's how I think

93
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: of him. I think of Tiger like Kobe at the

94
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: free throw line, shooting a foul shot with a torn achilles,

95
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I really hope we

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: don't see Tiger if he makes the cut, have to

97
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: leave early. So my fingers are crossed that he makes

98
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: it and then finishes Phil Mickelson. It's weird that this

99
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: is a neutered version of Phil. This is like the passive, aggressive,

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: mute version of Phil Mickelson. It's just weird. Where he

101
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: was this gregarious guy, big personality. Now he's at the

102
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Champions dinner, like you said, Rich, and he's not saying anything.

103
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: It's like he's bent over the war. Yeah, it's strange.

104
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: And finally Brooks Kepka the knee injury. So he hurt

105
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: his knee a little over two years ago in March

106
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. The story is he slipped at

107
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: home in Florida, dislocated his right kneecap. He tried to

108
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: pop the kneecap back into place and shattered it. It's

109
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: this whole thing. His doctor said it was about probably

110
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a year and a half before he finally

111
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: got right. And that's what he said. Right now, he

112
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: said he hasn't rediscovered anything. He just thinks he's healthy

113
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: and right now at minus twelve and leading the Masters.

114
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Nice place to be because the last two years have

115
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: not been rosy. It's just been better as of late,

116
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: as he's starting to get back on track well and

117
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: in truth, and I agree with you. Those are three

118
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: of the best storylines going right now at the Masters.

119
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: And those would be the three exact ones I pick

120
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: um if if I were going to explain to anybody, Hey,

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: why should I care about golf this weekend? I find

122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: those the most interesting too. What what what? I would what?

123
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: I would punctuate that sentence with is. And shame on

124
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: the PGA for making it so that these guys felt

125
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: like fleeing the number one golf tour in the world

126
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: to go to live golf. Because they make hundreds of millions,

127
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: if not billions of dollars over the spans of these careers.

128
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: And if you look at the purses that these golfers

129
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: can potentially make on tour versus the guaranteed salaries of say,

130
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: baseball players, I mean, Shohei Otani may sign a twelve year,

131
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars deal. Golf makes a lot of money, boys.

132
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: And the fact that they're not paying their golfers. The

133
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: fact that the Masters I mean, and don't get me wrong,

134
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the Masters has no affiliation with the pg I understand that.

135
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: But the Masters is only for a fifteen million dollar perse.

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Now that sounds like a lot of money to you

137
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: and me, but to a golfer who's doing this for

138
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: a living, for a golfer who you know, especially when

139
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: we're not talking about top fifty in the world, you know,

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: when we're talking about outside of the top fifty, when

141
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy who's just trying to make it,

142
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: man like, just trying to keep his card year after year,

143
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of times not traveling with a caddie,

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: just signing a guy up to hold this bag, you know,

145
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: who's waiting in the parking lot. And that's a real

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: thing at these tournaments, and you know, you're paying for

147
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: your flights and you're staying in cheap hotels and you're

148
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: just trying to live that life. It's it's look, is

149
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: it tough. I mean, it's not as tough as digging

150
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: ditches for a living, but it's tough, you know when

151
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: you compare it to Major League Baseball, the NBA, even

152
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, I mean, even without guaranteed contracts. In the NFL,

153
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the compensation is at very least more consistent

154
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: at the bottom wrong of the ladder. You know. I

155
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: like the fact that these guys have to earn it.

156
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a cool, uh cool part

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: of golf is like, well, you're gonna get paid when

158
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: you're when you when you're good, you know, you finish

159
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: in the money. Like that's kind of a cool thing

160
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: about the sport. But the money should be better, and

161
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: that's these guys left because they're looking for that safety net.

162
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: And so shame on the PGA because I sort of

163
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: feel like greed and the fact that they didn't have

164
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: to because there was no natural competitor out there is

165
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: what prevented them from treating their golfers better. So at

166
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: the very first twist in the story, at the very

167
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: first opportunity for these golfers to abandon the PGA for

168
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: a more for a more um uh consistent paying league

169
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: to play for, they took it. And that's the reason

170
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: why where we are where we are right now, my guests,

171
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,359
Speaker 1: is we get a little bit of kind of regression

172
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: back to the mean. I think the PGA will, and

173
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: they have a little bit up their stake in terms

174
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: of the payouts and in terms of what these players wanted.

175
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: For example, they had a meeting recently about certain events

176
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: are going to be bigger purses. They're going to up

177
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: the purses at certain events, and I'll be honest, I

178
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: kind of want to see Brooks kept goin this weekend,

179
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: I think, and maybe it's like the emoji with the

180
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: devil horns, like chaos, but also I want to see

181
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: this conversation continue, and I think the only way to

182
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: get out from this stigma because right now, you're right,

183
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: it was a little awkward going into the week because

184
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of events. I think this is

185
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: one of the only ones besides a couple of the

186
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: other majors where the live golfers are allowed to play.

187
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: And I think it continues the conversation. I know there's

188
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of legal stuff going on behind the scenes.

189
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into that. I think it's

190
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: more about at some point, and I think Brooks Kepka's

191
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: kind of the bannerman for this conversation. If you're successful

192
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, why would you go to live

193
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: If the money is going to increase and they're going

194
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: to get promises from Jay Monahan, the commissioner of the tour,

195
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: that there's going to be more guaranteed purses at certain events,

196
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: and then you you taste that success of putting on

197
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: the green jacket, and you're even hearing Brooks say it

198
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: before he even puts on the green jacket, like, yeah,

199
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: if I was this healthy, I might not have made

200
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: this decision. Well you're saying in the new normal though,

201
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: right j Yeah, Like like, imagine we get someone that

202
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: defects back to the PGA Tour. Yeah, the conversation I

203
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: think takes a different turn, and I kind of hope

204
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: we address that. I kind of hope we get to

205
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: that point. So that's why I want to see Brooks

206
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: win this week, and I want to see where the

207
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: conversation goes from there. And you're like, oh, well, how

208
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: about are they going to make allow Brooks to come

209
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: back if he wants to? I certainly would if I

210
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: was Jay Monahan. But it just it just continues the conversation.

211
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: It raises awareness, creates more buzz around the game, and

212
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: I think those are all good things for golf. I

213
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: will say quickly, I can't help but comment on smoke

214
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: on the water, like maybe Iowa Sam comes back from

215
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: break with that, but you know, with the weather and

216
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: they're smoke on the water. I can't help but just

217
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: mentioned that real fast. But the non childish comment that

218
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I would have right here is you know, building off

219
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: what you were both saying. But Richie brought it up

220
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: with LIV and BGA and it's funny where it reminds

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: me of San Diego actually where you know. San Diego

222
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: is like, no, we're not giving you money for a stadium,

223
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: and La is like we will, and San Diego the

224
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: Chargers are like, guess where we're going. You know. So

225
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: what Live was willing to do for a lot of

226
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: the golfers, the PGA Tour was unwilling And so it's

227
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: not a shocker to see where someone went. That's what

228
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: I do with dating. I'm like, you know, you might

229
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: not watch football and gamble with me, but she will,

230
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: So maybe you want to step it up a little

231
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: bit now. I'm just kidding, but if you have things

232
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: on your terms elsewhere, don't be shocked when someone goes elsewhere.

233
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. And I'll add this, I

234
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: like it better this way. You know, we're talking all

235
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: about the PGA Tour versus the Live guys and all

236
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: we gotta live guy on the leaderboard and leading the

237
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: whole thing, and brooks Kepka, this is straight out of

238
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Wrestling Handbook. Oh, this is exactly what much Yeah,

239
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: nWo we just Dad Hendrix and the Wolfpacks. It's so

240
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: much better with a villain. This is literally right out

241
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: of the handbook. It's so much more interesting this way.

242
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: And more times than not, all I hear is belly

243
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: aching about it. This is actually a good thing for

244
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes, Yes, no doubt, there is a little bit

245
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: of that to it. Like you know, there's a little

246
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: bit of Hey, if you're going to be a showman

247
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: and there's a rival circus in town, it's time to

248
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: step up your game. Brian, you're right, And you know

249
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot of times people can't come place in and

250
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: when you know there there was, for example, at one

251
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: point buggy whip companies, right, you know, a buggy whip

252
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: was something that you used to smack a horace on

253
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: his behind to go faster when you're sitting there on

254
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: your carriage, right, And there was I'm sure a conversation

255
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: at one point between a father and a son was like,

256
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: what do you mean get involved in the automobile business.

257
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Carriages are going to be the way of the future, son,

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: And then sure enough Henry Ford found a way to

259
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: mechanize everything and off to the races. Literally the rest

260
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: of society went and that buggy whip shop had to

261
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: close down. You know, this is what happens. Somebody comes

262
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: up with a better mousetrap eventually, and then it puts

263
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: your mousetrap out of business unless you make changes. And

264
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: so that's what Live Golf did. Now, I'm not saying

265
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: it's more popular. It's not. I'm not saying there's more interest.

266
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: There isn't. But they have a lot more money and

267
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: they're willing to spend it on high prize talent than

268
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: PGA was. Now will they keep doing that? Possibly? A

269
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of people said, you know, for a million different

270
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: reasons the Live Golf even exists in the first place.

271
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: And again, without getting too deep into those storylines and

272
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: steering it back towards what you just said, competition isn't

273
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world, because I'm hoping, I'm

274
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: hoping the desired outcome for me is that it makes

275
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: golf better. It's a little weird right now, but hopefully

276
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: the outcome is it makes golf better. Yeah, and it's

277
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: again you're getting these the player impact bonuses is what

278
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: they're calling it next year eight designated events, limited fields,

279
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: no cuts, guaranteed money. And then the Impact program is

280
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: raising the scale of what the payouts are for a

281
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: lot of events, and it's going to be one hundred

282
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: million dollars next year, then fifty million a year after that.

283
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: They're getting bonuses for the FedEx cut. So again, it's

284
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: almost like you're negotiating to buy a car and you

285
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: go and you say, well, this is what I want

286
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: to pay for this car, and then the dealer says, well,

287
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you this, and then you walk away

288
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: and you go to some other car dealership and that

289
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: car dealer that you originally went to spots you over

290
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: there and they're like, oh no, that was the guy

291
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: I was going to sell the car too. Well, hold on,

292
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: I'll give you a better deal. And it is kind

293
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: of playing one side off the other. So as much

294
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: as the LIV golf is like this enemy of the

295
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: state and comes to certain areas, I think there's a

296
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: lot If you ask a lot of players on tour

297
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: right now, I bet they're happy that the liv golf

298
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: thing happened because it's allowing the PGA to realize, well,

299
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: we better up our stake here or else. We're gonna

300
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: lose some of these guys, and I think over time

301
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: it'll regulate. I bet over time there are going to

302
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: be some LIV golf players that eventually come back to

303
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: the tour. I would not be surprised if that happened

304
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: at some point. Maybe it's brooks Kepka after this weekend.

305
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he puts on the green jacket and turns to

306
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Jim Nanson says, you know what, I made a mistake.

307
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: I want to come back. This is awesome. This is

308
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: exactly why I want to be a part of the

309
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: PG eight Tour. I don't think that's going to happen,

310
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: but it certainly could, and I do think we're gonna

311
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: get one. At some point, there's gonna be a player

312
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: that's gonna have success on the Lift Golf Tour and

313
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to come back because the money gets

314
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: raised and this happens, and that will be that is

315
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: going to make the conversation become very interesting. I'm trying

316
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: to think of anybody from nWo who went back to

317
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: like just WWE or something, you know what I mean,

318
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Like it definitely happened. Wrote that into this I'm sure

352
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: weather over here. Look looks like the Midwest right now

353
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: instead of the South. Hey, how about this if we

354
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: turn our attention to the NFL. It was a big

355
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: deal with the Dolphins. Okay, the Dolphins don't have a

356
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: first round pick. It was taken away by Roger Goodell

357
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL because of tampering. They had Tom Brady

358
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: allegedly on a yacht when he was still under contract.

359
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: They were talking to Sean Payton about maybe being the

360
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: next head coach. That's a no, no, no, not good

361
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, So they don't have a first round pick.

362
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: I loo our guy, Isaac Lohenkron. He started the top

363
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: of the hour update playing audio of Jets GM Joe Douglas.

364
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: He was at a wfa N event, legendary sports radio station.

365
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: This is yesterday, and listen to what he says about

366
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers, He's gonna be here. It's straight

367
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: out of New York, right, Like, Hey, Hey, what's Rogers

368
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna be here? Rogers He's gonna be here? Buck my

369
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: freaking words. Yeah. But is Aaron Rodgers under contract? Yeah?

370
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: The hell he is? Like how could he be at

371
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: an event saying he's gonna be a Jet? Like if

372
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins get hammered for what they did, how did

373
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: the Jets skate? Now this was just yesterday, so we

374
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: gotta give it a little bit of time. But do

375
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: you guys see it the same way? If it's tampering

376
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, how is this not tampering with the Jets.

377
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: That's fascinating. That would have not have been my thoughts

378
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: at all. I would have I would have thought, like,

379
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: how silly to make this comment. Yep, because what if

380
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: you don't get the deal done? Like, you know, what

381
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: if something falls through, like many times things do fall through,

382
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about a personality like Aaron Rodgers

383
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: or the NFL in general, chaos rains. So if this

384
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: deal doesn't happen. And by the way, as of today,

385
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is still a Packer. In fact, the only

386
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: former Packer you've signed is Tim Boyle or I should

387
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: say former Packer quarterback. They also got him a receiver too.

388
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: But you know, you catch my drift here, like this

389
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: is a problem outside of just maybe what they could

390
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: be fined for the Jets if they don't get this

391
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: done because the fan but it'll be an it'll be

392
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: open mutiny if Aaron Rodgers doesn't walk through the door.

393
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought about when I heard the

394
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: clip was a clip that we've played on the show

395
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: many times, the Howard Dean scream were going to Iowa

396
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: at South Carolina. Like that's what I thought, Like rah,

397
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: like I like I was, And of course it was

398
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: arguably one of the funniest things that's ever happened in politics,

399
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: but also what happened to Howard Dean's presidential campaign after

400
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: that infamous scream. It went completely off the rails and

401
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: he was never heard of again. And now that's really

402
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: all exactly, that's all we know of Howard Dean is

403
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the scream. That is the type of thing that can

404
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: take Joe Douglas's very exciting short tenure here with the

405
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Jets as his GM for the last few years and

406
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: completely derail it if he goes on stage at Boomera

407
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: a Siason's event, the former Jets quarterback the w f

408
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: Ano's probably the most popular media personality in New York City,

409
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: perhaps right now, and he promises, like a politician would,

410
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is coming to town, and then Aaron

411
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't come to town. I can't think of another

412
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: thing that would completely derail what has been as a

413
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: Jets fan, a very exciting couple of years with this

414
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: new group, with this new nucleus. Now, obviously the quarterback situation,

415
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: as we've discussed on this show and many other shows,

416
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: the only thing that is separating the Jets from being

417
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: a playoff contender, but Now the pressure's on Joe because

418
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: if you don't pull this thing off, it's going to

419
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: be the wrath of Howard Dean. That's why I've called

420
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: the Jets the cowboys of the AFC, because they want

421
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: to win, right, but they also want the headlines. They

422
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: want to be featured on the back page of the

423
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: post or whatever, and this is a great example of it.

424
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: They're not negotiating behind closed doors, cards close to the chest,

425
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: you know, or the vest whichever you prefer, Chester or

426
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: vest on it either way. But yeah, they're not doing

427
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: They're negotiating publicly. It's like they're negotiating through the media.

428
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: Why in the world would you make it like that

429
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: unless you're exactly the spitting image of the Jets of

430
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the cowboys of the AFC. That's what they're

431
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: doing right here. There are plenty of other teams and

432
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: not everybody has to do it the same way. Could

433
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: you see the Patriots doing this? Could you see it

434
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: an event for a radio station it's the Sports Hub

435
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: or Wei and Belichick or somebody gets up there. He's

436
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: gotta be a Patriot. Yeah, no way. Could you see

437
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys doing it? Absolutely? The Jets are the Cowboys

438
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: of the AFC. Yeah, that's that's so true. I mean,

439
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I mean this is just so loud and boisterous and

440
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, it does feel like um,

441
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: like a move Jerry Jones would pull like you know

442
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: what I mean, he would he would say this, uh,

443
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: live publicly an event because he is their acting general

444
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: manager by the way, that Dallas Cowboys, and he appears

445
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: on radio I'm pretty sure twice a week, even on

446
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: the off seasons. So that's absolutely something I could I

447
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: could see happening in Dallas. Now, look, the situation may

448
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: be as simple as this. The Jets may be asking

449
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: for something that the Packers can't give them until the

450
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: draft comes around, like a sliding pick, like one of

451
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: those things where you're gonna be compensated based on based

452
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: on draft picks this year that you're not going to use,

453
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, things of that nature. So we may have

454
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: three more weeks of this and the Packers and the

455
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: Jets both know behind closed doors that this is going

456
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: to happen, but the rest of us are waiting for

457
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: it to happen. And I think also the NFL, if

458
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: you have a situation like this where it's just two

459
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: teams locked in on something. It's barely tampering because I

460
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: think it's almost like when when it's settled that Aaron

461
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers wants to be a Jet, the New York Jets

462
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: wants Aaron to be a Jet, and the only thing

463
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: that's in the way at this point is just making

464
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: sure you hammer out the details of the trade. I

465
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: don't think it's as bad as if, you know, somehow

466
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: a team emerged out of the clear blue, like the

467
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans who are behind the scenes courting Lamar Jackson

468
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: trying to get him for a lower contract amount and

469
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of blew by the normal parameters of how you're

470
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: allowed to talk to a player. That might not even

471
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: be a great example because he's under the non exclusive

472
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: franchise tag right now, but you get you get what

473
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't think. I don't think this falls

474
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: in the same category as typical tampering does. Yeah, yeah,

475
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: I think it. Also, it's hard to claim tampering when

476
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgerson came out first and said he's going to

477
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: be a Jet somehow, that it's the same thing in

478
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: the NBA, Like you can't as a player just openly

479
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: recruit other players, and the same thing in the NFL.

480
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: But if Magic Johnson, who's representing the Lakers front office, says, hey,

481
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: Jannis is a hell of a player, it's a huge

482
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: deal and you get fined, it's so weird. But it's

483
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: not the same rules for players and front offices. It's weird.

484
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: And I think when you have the Jets in the

485
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: scenario that they are currently in, they are kind of

486
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: negotiating against themselves because it doesn't appear that there is

487
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: anyone else that is in the market for Aaron Rodgers.

488
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Now Lamar Jackson, that's another story. We'll get to that

489
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: at some point today. But this Rogers thing, it's just

490
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: a saga. And as a Jet now I'm speaking now

491
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, I just want this to end

492
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: because now Joe Douglas has put this I don't want

493
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: to say this ultimatum, but it's almost it's almost as

494
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: if if the Jets don't get Aaron Rodgers, the entire

495
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: season and his entire campaign is a failure. Like, really,

496
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: he is Howard. He is the Howard Dean of the

497
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: New York Jets and of the NFL. Right now, he

498
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: has now put that evil on the entire franchise that

499
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: if they don't get Aaron Rodgers, what happened? Like, how

500
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: did this not? Exactly? It really is. It's becoming now

501
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: one of the more fascinating stories that I can recall

502
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the quarterback carousel, because the quarterback literally

503
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: came out and said he wants to play for the Jets.

504
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: Yet that was like a month ago, Like, what's happening

505
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: right now? I know? It's strange, it really is, And

506
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: maybe it is what you're saying, Rich, it's the you know,

507
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: the equivalent of driving seventy in a sixty, you know,

508
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: where technically you are breaking the law, but more times

509
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: than now you're gonna get away with it. Maybe it's that,

510
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: or or the NFL could look at this and say, hey,

511
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: it's not just this specific situation. Would we want this

512
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: to ever become the norm? What if let's say, let's

513
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: go back to the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, right, like, what

514
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: if before Deshaun Watson was a member of the Cleveland Browns,

515
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: the Browns had a radio get together and the GM

516
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: is like, he's gonna be a Brown and then he

517
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: ended up being a Brown Like that could be something

518
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: that they want to curttail over there. So maybe not

519
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: a first round pick. Let's get rid of a sixth,

520
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: maybe a fifth for the Jets over there with your GM,

521
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas saying that call it his shot. We've got

522
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: I Lowe who always calls his shot here on the program,

523
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Isaac Loew and Kron with the latest. Yeah, good morning, Fails.

524
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: We actually have some bonus audio from Joe Douglas here.

525
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: He is running down the Jets twenty twenty three schedule.

526
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna California and Texas in New York, and we're

527
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan.

528
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: South Dakota and Oregon. Must be for a preseason game anyway.

529
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: Round two has resumed at the Masters. Tiger Woods is

530
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: now even through seventeen holes of the second round. He

531
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: is at plus two overall, so he is just one

532
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: away from the cut line because he just bogeed this

533
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: seventeenth hole. So it'll all come down to the eighteenth

534
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: hole for Tiger to make the cut or miss the

535
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: cut again. As of right now, the projected cut line

536
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: is three overpar. He is at two overpar going in

537
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: to the final hole. He is fourteen shots behind Brooks Kepka.

538
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: Kepka has the lead at twelve under par overall. NBA.

539
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: Friday Night, the Los Angeles Lakers defeat the Phoenix Suns

540
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: one twenty one to one oh seven, keeping their hopes

541
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: of avoiding the play in tournament alive. The Chicago Bulls

542
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: on at Dallas one fifteen to one twelve, eliminating the

543
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Mavericks and clinching a play in spot for the Oklahoma

544
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: City Thunder. Facing a must win game, the Mavericks held

545
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: out Kyrie Irving and four others, and then they pulled

546
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: Luca Donchich during the second quarter. Indeed, anyway, Golden State

547
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: what at Sacramento one nineteen to ninety seven. They can

548
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: avoid the play in tournament with a win Sunday at

549
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Portland in their regular season finale. Finally, in baseball, Friday night,

550
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Angels in Anaheim four

551
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: to three on Bobaschev's three one home run in the

552
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: seventh inning. The Angels became the first major league team

553
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: to have a pair of former MVPs, and show Hey

554
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Otani and Mike Trout each get extra base hits, but

555
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 1: have the rest of the team go hitless since the

556
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Yankees did it with Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris in

557
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two. On that note, back to you guys,

558
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Ilo. It is Fox Sports Saturday

559
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: right here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to you live

560
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: from the Tirak dot com studios. You know the Draft,

561
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: We're inching closer to it, and we'll have plenty of

562
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: draft stuff today. I just wanted to say quickly. There

563
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: was a report about the defensive tackle from Georgia, Jalen Carter,

564
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: and the team's eyeing Jalen Carter. There are many, but

565
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: this article pointed out three that the specific teams Seahawks, Bears,

566
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: and Eagles. And I just I thought about the latter

567
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: team right there. The Eagles. You think about Philly and

568
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: they've got the tenth overall pick. It was a trade

569
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: from last year with the Saints, so the Eagles have

570
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: the tenth overall pick, and I just thought to myself,

571
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: there's so much talk about who moves up for a quarterback?

572
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: Does Indianapolis move up from four to three? Does another

573
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: team like the Raiders, did they move up from seven

574
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: to three or it's all about quarterbacks. I'm curious if

575
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: a team like the Eagles, if they make a power

576
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: play move, if they make an aggressive move. They were

577
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: just in the Super Bowl, did they move up for

578
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: a player like Jalen Carter, Because there's gonna be movement

579
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: for players that are not quarterbacks, and maybe it'll be

580
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: in the top ten. So something to keep your eye on.

581
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: If the Eagles get aggressive and say, let's get arguably

582
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: the best defensive player in this draft, something to keep

583
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: in mind as we inch closer to draft day. Yeah, yeah,

584
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: there's no question. I mean, you know, could we see

585
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: a team that's, you know, a playoff team potentially advanced

586
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: their draft stock to go up and improve their offense

587
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: or their defense, because doesn't that happen often? Like we

588
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: it's it's a team that we don't see coming that

589
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense to trade up and go

590
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: for a player, and and you know, since their roster

591
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: is somewhat set, they don't mind spending the draft capital

592
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: to try to improve. I mean, this is basically how

593
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the Rams bought their Super Bowl by spending draft capital,

594
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: and now they were targeting free agents. But this can

595
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: easily happen in the drafts all takes his a general

596
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: manager who convinces the owner and the rest of his

597
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: staff or scouts kind of help whisper in the year.

598
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: The general manager to say, hey, listen, no, like, if

599
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: we get an opportunity, you know, to get this guy.

600
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna fall to our pick, but

601
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: we gotta get him. We gotta get him. And if

602
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: you hear that enough, all of a sudden you go

603
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: it's like, well, yeah, you're damn right, we're the Buffalo

604
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Bills and we need a receiver, you know, or whatever,

605
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, like, and all of a sudden, somebody gets

606
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: gets all the way up from you know, the twenties

607
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: into the first ten picks to go after somebody. It

608
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: could be Jail and Carter. I mean, he is one

609
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: of those. He is one of those prospects, you know.

610
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Just I'm not going to nerd out on a defensive

611
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: lineman because as an offensive lineman, this is like the

612
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: position we scout the most. But he is a prospect

613
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: that when you watch him play, you're just like, I mean,

614
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: there is close to no comparison. Everybody loves to pull

615
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: NFL comps, but he plays with such incredible power in

616
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: both the past and the run game. If that translates

617
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: to the NFL, like if he continues doing what he

618
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: did at the college level into the NFL, He's going

619
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: to be one of the most dominant performers in twenty

620
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: twenty three. I can promise you that it just matters.

621
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: All that really matters is if his game translates. We'll

622
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: find out. But yeah, I could see a team interested

623
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: making some serious moves for him. We'll see. All right,

624
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: We've got Rich Ornberger, Penn Stayed all American, Jared Smith,

625
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio betting analyst on Brian No, you we

626
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: gotta get to live masters bets over here. Maybe Jared

627
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: will have something right up. You have ye have free reign.

628
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: I could be talking about Jalen Carter if you jump

629
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: in it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, guys, seventeen tall, here's

630
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: what you got in trouble here. I feel free to

631
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: do Tiger in the woods on eighteen and this could

632
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: be eighteen might remove him from the equation for the Again,

633
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: don't don't catch those masters cut make the cuts bets.

634
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Just yeah, Tiger, you have to sweat it out. I'm

635
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: probably no coming up next. If you look up the

636
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,239

644
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: you look up the word disaster, you know what what

645
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: team picture you would see right there? It would be

646
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: a photo of the Dallas Mavericks right now is what

647
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: it would be. They are disastrous and what happened last

648
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: night was wild. So the MAVs they were facing elimination

649
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: from playoff contention. They had a game against the Bulls,

650
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: so their playoff lives are on the line. What did

651
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: they do? They decided to sit Luca don Chich shortly

652
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: after the first quarter. Luca only played thirteen minutes. No

653
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. He has a foot injury, so they rested

654
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: Luca after basically a quarter. They lost to the Bulls

655
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: and now Dallas is eliminated. The reason they did this.

656
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: They're trying to keep their draft pick, which is a

657
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: top ten protected pick. They owed the Knicks from the

658
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: Porzingis deal, so they're like, look, maybe we make the

659
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: play in, maybe we scratch our way into the playoffs,

660
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: and then what I mean the handwritings on the wall,

661
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: Let's just try to keep our draft pick. That was

662
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: their thinking. So they lost to the Bulls. The MAVs, congratulations,

663
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: they're in sole possession of what tenth in the tank

664
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: standings if you will not tenth place in the West,

665
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: tenth in the overall tank standings, which is basically what

666
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: they did last night. In terms of their lottery odds,

667
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: they're in tenth, which gives them a better chance to

668
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: keep a top ten protected pick. It is a joke.

669
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: What's happening over there? Nine and seventeen since making the

670
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: trade for Kyrie Irving, they fell lack a rock like

671
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Bob Seeger's old classic song. They were in fourth place

672
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 1: in the West before they traded for Kyrie, tumble all

673
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: the way to eleventh, and they're on the outside of

674
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs looking in What a master the NBA is

675
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: turning into. From a lot of different standpoints, just the

676
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: way that the league is constructed. You have too many

677
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: games during the regular season. You have teams that are

678
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: willing to tank and do this even though they've created

679
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: a lottery. You have load management where your stars play

680
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five percent or excuse me, seventy five

681
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: percent of their league games, some of them miss up

682
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: to a third. And it doesn't have much bearing because

683
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: your playoffs includes two thirds of the league's twenty teams

684
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: can get to a championship come your play in or

685
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: playoffs scenarios. I mean, it feels like every single solution

686
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: the NBA comes up with, they they are trying to

687
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: put bandages on gushing wounds, and what they really need

688
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 1: is a surgeon to come in and say, oh, no, no, no,

689
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: this was flawed from the start. We need to like

690
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: operate on this patient. Like we're beyond the stage of

691
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: just putting some gauze and saying, all right, all done.

692
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: You know this is it, But but I don't know

693
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: what how do you how do you fix it? At

694
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: this point? I don't know if you can. I don't

695
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: know if it can be fixed. I wonder if this

696
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: decision came from mister Cuban or not like I'm like

697
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: to me, I'm curious, like why you would show your

698
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: hand like that to your fan base so egregiously And

699
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: there's there's no excuse to I mean, I understand, oh future,

700
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: this future that you went and traded for Kyrie Irving.

701
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: You went and go and get Kyrie, or like to me,

702
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: when you go get a guy like Kyrie Irving, that's

703
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: your indication to your fan base that you are pushing

704
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: for a championship because the only reason you bring that

705
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: type of baggage onto your team is because the talent

706
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: is so strong that you're willing to outweigh all of

707
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: the negatives that come with bringing Kyrie Irving onto your team.

708
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, there are a lot of distractions

709
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: when you bring him onto your team. I just it's

710
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: such an about face and such a short period of time,

711
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: guys to go from we want Kyrie Irving because we're

712
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs and we're gonna make a run

713
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: at a championship with that duo of Don Chick and Kyrie.

714
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: And when they were both playing at a high level,

715
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: it was very impressive to watch, but they couldn't win,

716
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they just pulled the

717
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: plug in the middle. It's almost as if they pulled

718
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: the plug while the heart monitor was still beeping. And

719
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: that is remarkable to me that it happened in this

720
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: current era of social media because they were getting The

721
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: Mavericks got roasted yesterday on NBA Twitter, absolutely roasted, and

722
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: it made no sense. If you're gonna try to protect

723
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: this draft pick, why is Luca playing thirteen minutes? Why

724
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: are we doing like half in, half out? Like what's

725
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: going on over here? And also Kyrie Irving earlier in

726
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: the week, he was talking about being eleventh in the

727
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: West and his quote stood out. He said, I think

728
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: the fun part of it is we still have a

729
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light at the end

730
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: of the tunnel of where we can still in. But

731
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm at peace with just our effort.

732
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: What is that We're just I'm happy with the effort,

733
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: even though we might not even make the play in

734
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: over here, it was just an outright joke what happened

735
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: with the Dallas Mavericks this season ever since the trade craziness?

736
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: All right, A lot more to get to. Coming up

737
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: next is this the truth or is it just a

738
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: tactic that's on the way, oh, hanging by a thread

739
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: after a bogie on eighteen, We'll get to that and

740
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: ball is on the brain as well. We're broadcasting live

00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: Tirerac dot com The way tire buying should be. Tiger

745
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: Woods bogie's on eighteen. He's at plus three two days

746
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: in projected cut line plus three. So man, like you said, Jared,

747
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to sweat this out. Whether he had

748
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: Tiger making the cut or missing the cut, it's out

749
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: of his hands. It's that was probably one of the

750
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: most popular bets the entire tournament, you know. And also

751
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: as they're showing the leaderboard here, Rory McElroy, he's gonna

752
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: miss the cut. Some people liked him to win the

753
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: whole thing. He's at plus five. Rory McElroy has turned

754
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: into the chargers, you know what I mean, Like he's

755
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: from he's gone from the guy who lone Majors, who

756
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: was crushing it. Now he's the Chargers. Now, he's super talented.

757
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: You think he might do something big and he might

758
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: wet himself, right, Like, isn't that where he's at right now? Yeah,

759
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: except you gotta throw in injuries like you know, if

760
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: if if it were just like untimely injuries when you

761
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: absolutely need to have it. No, but that's a great

762
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: call on paper. Rory McElroy looks like he should be

763
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: the most dominant golfer on the planet, and he breaks

764
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: your heart. I mean, look, yeah, I pull for Roy McIlroy.

765
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: I think that he's I think that he's honest, and

766
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: I like honesty when you're talking uh sports, you know,

767
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, you get somebody at the podium who says

768
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: what he truly feels. I think most of the time.

769
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: And uh and I and I think when you're young

770
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: and you are signed to you know, absurd endorsement contracts

771
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: and you still seem like like an alright, dude, Um, yeah,

772
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: you know you kind of got my vote. He just

773
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: can't put it all together and I don't know why

774
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: he just can't do it. And you know, we'll see,

775
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: we'll see if if come the end of his career,

776
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about him the same way we talk about,

777
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: say of Phil Mickelson or or I mean, you know,

778
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: one of the greats. But right now he's just kind

779
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: of in that, you know, always cruising at the top

780
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: of the leaderboard. He's a top twenty finisher, he's just

781
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: not getting enough of those tour wins that you can

782
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: you can really say, well, yeah, geez, that justifies the

783
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: billion dollars he's made an endorsement so far. Yeah, he's

784
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of a flag like a flag bearer for the game.

785
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: And I do think if he gets the Master's Green jacket,

786
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: that'll kind of complete the legacy because then he'll get

787
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: the Grand Slam, and I think that makes you a

788
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame golfer. The irony with this, with this

789
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: Master's here, first of all, you can't ask for more

790
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: drama here. So here's the scenario for Tiger. There are

791
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: two players currently on the course, Justin Thomas song Jam

792
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: at two over par. They've got two JT's on seventeen,

793
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: song Jay's on sixteen. If one of them, one of

794
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: the two finishes at three over, then the cut line

795
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: will move to three and Tiger will make the cut.

796
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: The irony with that, Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods are

797
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: like best friends. Yeah, you think Tiger is gonna go

798
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: up to So Justin's in trouble on seventeen right now,

799
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: He's got to get up an end for par and

800
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: if he goes to three again, the cut line will

801
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: move and Tiger will make the cut. Do you think

802
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: Tiger's gonna walk over to seventeen or stand on the

803
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: eighteen green right now and just go, hey, Justin, Hey,

804
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: I need you. I need one Bogey, Budd, one Bogey

805
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: for you too. I mean, these guys are they were

806
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: one of them handed the tampon to the other one

807
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: a few weeks. These guys are like best friends. If

808
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm Tiger Woods, I am going over to Justin Thomas's

809
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: little area wherever he's playing right now, and I am

810
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: hovering over jt Hey, just hey, I need one boy Budd. Well, well,

811
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: I was thinking the opposite. I was thinking, maybe he

812
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: goes to eighteen and noticeably limps around ye sending the

813
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: signal of like hey, bertie on out, so I don't

814
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: have too wants to be around for the weekend, guys,

815
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: come on. I would think so absolutely. But if his

816
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: body fails him as his body fails him. That's true.

817
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: It is. It's tough to watch Tig. It has been

818
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: tough to watch Tiger the last few weeks. I think

819
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a very real possibility that Tiger feels

820
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: relieved right now. Like, don't get me wrong, I don't

821
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: think he's tanking like the Mavericks are or or you know,

822
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. Yeah, but but but I

823
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: do get the I agree with what you just said, Jared. Like,

824
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: watching Tiger Woods this this tournament, it is, Yeah, he's

825
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 1: limping around pretty bad. And and I think I think

826
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is what the rest of his life

827
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 1: is gonna look like. You know, we're talking about walking, guys.

828
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: You know, we're not talking about like, hey, you know,

829
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 1: he's lost the step. Uh you know, he's not quite

830
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 1: the running back he used to be. Or hey, geez,

831
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: you know he used to clock you know, triple digits

832
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: on the gun and now that fastballs down to ninety two.

833
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: Like we're talking about walking, like Tiger. Tiger Woods limps

834
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: when he walks, like he's never gonna be the same

835
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: human being after that car accident. And that's what's that's

836
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: what's so disheartening watching him golf. Is you realize the

837
00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: ravages of his most recent injury are are not? I mean,

838
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: he can't overcome all of this now, it's really cool

839
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: to see him still be competitive. In fact, I would

840
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: argue it's it's possibly the most impressive thing he's ever

841
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: done to recover from that accident and still play competitive

842
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 1: golf with PGA Tour golfers like to be out there

843
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: walking around and actually be able to turn in a

844
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: respectable card, that's unbelievable. So he this may be a

845
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: career milestone that people are actually underrating, but they may

846
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: be saving Tiger Woods a little bit from himself if

847
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: if Thomas and Sun Jam end up turning in cards

848
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: and he gets knocked out of the weekend. Yeah, it's

849
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: a great point because a lot of time when we're

850
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: watching sports, we don't recalibrate our expectations, right, And you're right,

851
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: what Tiger is doing right now at this stage of

852
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 1: his career and life post car accident that shattered his leg.

853
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: It is i that he's even doing what he's doing.

854
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: We just talked about Rory McElroy. McElroy has he's two

855
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: strokes off of where Tiger ended up, Right, Like that

856
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: that's where Tiger is right now, and that is remarkable.

857
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't recalibrate, and they're just thinking,

858
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: this is Tiger Woods. What do you mean He's just

859
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: barely gonna make the cut. It's like, well, dude, this

860
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: is a much different time in his life than when

861
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: he was at his peak. But a lot of times

862
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: we make that mistake. We want to turn our attention

863
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: over here to ball because it was really interesting in

864
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: raven Land during the week where the GM Eric da Costa,

865
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: he participated in a draft luncheon and the name Lamar

866
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: Jackson was not to be undered. Okay, we're keeping it

867
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: on the draft. Let's not talk about Lamar. Here's a

868
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: little snippet of that. Yeah, so those are you know,

869
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: I understand the need to ask those kind of questions.

870
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: I think just out of respect for the process. This

871
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: is a draft launching and we're gonna try to keep

872
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: as much of this discussion as we can to the draft. Okay,

873
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is off the table, all right. We're talking

874
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: about potential prospects here and they talk about this too,

875
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: the possibility of drafting a quarterback in round one. I

876
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: would say there's probably more than four guys that can

877
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: that can be significant quarterbacks in this league, in this

878
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: draft class, depending on the board, Jamison really does I mean,

879
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: I'd have to say yes, because we have quarterbacks in

880
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: our top thirty one. Okay, all right, so they've got

881
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: more than four quarterbacks rated as first round prospects, they

882
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: could maybe, depending on how the board falls, take a

883
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round. This is one it boils

884
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: down too, Fellas. Is this the truth or is this

885
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: a tactic because they're ongoing negotiations with Lamar Jackson, You

886
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: can call me naive. I think this is more of

887
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: the truth. I think it's less of a tactic. If

888
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 1: they're going the tactic route, this is a horrible method

889
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: because I can't imagine, Hey, hey, here's the plan. All right,

890
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: draft luncheon, we don't mention Lamar. Let's make them jealous

891
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: and then and then let's talk about other quarterbacks that

892
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: we might draft, and then he's gonna come running back

893
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: to us and he's gonna sign a deal because who

894
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen. Like, if that's their plan, it's

895
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: the worst plan ever. So I do I don't think

896
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: they're that dumb. I think this is more the truth

897
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: than a tactic. What do you guys think about it?

898
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: I think two things. I think one and I was

899
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: chatting actually on Fox Sports Radio yesterday covering for Doug Gottlieb,

900
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: but um we were talking to Mark Dominick, who was

901
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: a former Bucks GM, and I asked him, Hey, you know,

902
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: how often are you intentionally trying to mislead people when

903
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: you're in the war room and you're talking to your

904
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: lead scouts and the other executives, Like, are you actively

905
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: making phone calls and talking to other teams and lying?

906
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: He was like, well, listen, I can't say that. I

907
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: never I never picked up the phone and and and

908
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 1: told U, you know, a half truth or a lie

909
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: to somebody to advance our position. He was like, my

910
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: job was to make the Bucks as good as I

911
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: possibly could, and if that meant, you know, misleading people,

912
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna do. He goes one of

913
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: the things, though, He's like, I preferred, if I were

914
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: going to do it anyway, I prefer to mislead people

915
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: or throw people off our scent by bringing in, you know,

916
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: certain players for workouts that we had absolutely zero interest

917
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: in ye, he goes, Look, we get thirty visits from prospects,

918
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: and the prospects we brought in he was like, largely

919
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: were prospects we were interested in. But occasionally when we're

920
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: picking high in the draft and we or if we

921
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: were picking low in the draft, He's like, it really

922
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't matter. You know, if we wanted to throw people

923
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: off the scent, he would like, he said, we would

924
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: basically bring in players and waste their time, but it

925
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: would help improve the Buccaneers positioning to either negotiate things

926
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: or give them leverage when talking about trading their pick

927
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: down or whatever it may be. So, yeah, you know,

928
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: this might be a smoke screen Da Costa maybe trying

929
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: to create a little bit of interest. We'll see. The

930
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: truth is, everything's up in there in April, and you

931
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: can't trust what anybody's saying. So I don't know if

932
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: truth is a word I would attach to anything a

933
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: general manager utters during the month of April, because I

934
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: don't know if we can believe a single word any

935
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: of these guys are saying, because we really don't know

936
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 1: what the truth is. This was smoke screen week, guys,

937
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: This was the week, and I'll give you a few examples,

938
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: and actually I'll give you two really good examples, and

939
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: then I'll give you my first truth bomb of this

940
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: NFL draft. First of all, the NFL drafts my favorite

941
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: event to bet on. It's probably the most successful event

942
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: that I've had in my betting career. This week, it

943
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: seemed as though the quarterback situation started to percolate a

944
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: little bit. And what you just described, Rich, is exactly

945
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing transpire in the market right now, and

946
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: it surrounds the Indianapolis Colts. This week, the Colts sent

947
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: their entire front office, Chris Ballard, Shane Steiken, Jim Bob Cooder,

948
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach, the assistant GM, the guy that cleans

949
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: the uniforms in the locker room, to go see Stroud,

950
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: Young and Levis, three guys that they saw at the Combine,

951
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: that they worked out at the Combine, that they've talked to,

952
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: that they see. But yet this week we saw literally

953
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: like a convoy going to private workouts of those three quarterbacks.

954
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: And then also this week I received a text message

955
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: from a very reliable source that said the Colts are

956
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: going to be trading for Lamar Jackson. Now take that

957
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: for what it will. I think it's a possibility that

958
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: they do. And then I started to read a lot

959
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: of the clippings that said, well, the Colts are going

960
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: to check out all these quarterbacks this week. And I

961
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: put both of those strange, you know, lines of thinking together,

962
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: and I said, well, that makes a ton of sense.

963
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: The week that the Colts go and see everybody in

964
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback class is the same week that I

965
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: get my first little nugget of the draft. It says,

966
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: be interested in what the Colts are doing with Lamar Jackson.

967
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: There's some smoke there. And I started to put two

968
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: pieces together and I could see that scenario playing out

969
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: exactly all of a sudden, the Colts are going to

970
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: see all these quarterbacks and the Ravens. Because if you're

971
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens and you're talking to the Colts about potentially

972
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: trading for Lamar Jackson and then you look and you

973
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: see the entire franchise is going to go check out

974
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: all these other quarterbacks this week, it puts a little

975
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: bit of pressure on you to maybe change the dynamics

976
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: of that trade. And I just I don't I like

977
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: to look at things that I haven't heard and haven't seen,

978
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 1: and right now things are very quiet about Lamar Jackson,

979
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna get a day or near

980
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: draft day trade for him, and the Colts to me,

981
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: are at the top of that list. So take that

982
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: for what it is, friends, you know, that's how I

983
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 1: see it playing out. Think about this too, is Let's

984
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: just say, for the sake of argument, the Ravens say, look, man,

985
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: it's just not in the cards for us to resign

986
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's asking for too much. Let's actually draft

987
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round, yet they still have Lamar. Like,

988
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: think about that scenario and if what you explained turns

989
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: out to be where the Colts are still in the

990
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 1: market for a quarterback, think about the contract that they

991
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: would offer Lamar right like. It would be basement bargain

992
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: Bryce right there, right because you know the Ravens aren't

993
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: going to match it, so it would just have to

994
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: be something that Lamar would be willing to accept. So

995
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, but it's

996
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna be cheaper. Knowing the Ravens have just drafted a

997
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: back and you're not negotiating against other teams be really interesting.

998
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: If that's the scenario we have, well I would I

999
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: would agree, but I will say this, you can be

1000
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 1: a team and not spitefully so, but in all actuality,

1001
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: just keep Lamar Jackson for another year, you know, through

1002
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: the franchise tag, groom the quarterback you draft and then

1003
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: let him walk in free agency, you know what I mean,

1004
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: Like you can kind of have your cake and eat

1005
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: it too if you're the Ravens. You know, because draft

1006
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: picks are cheap. Let's be honest. Outside of the guaranteed

1007
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: money you got to pay up front, the annual salary,

1008
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't smack your cap the way it

1009
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: would if you sign Lamar Jackson to a huge deal.

1010
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 1: You have him under the franchise tag. So the Ravens

1011
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: are kind of in the cap bird seed, and Eric

1012
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: de Costa knows it, and so he's swinging his shellaly

1013
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Well, and that's that's assuming though,

1014
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: that Lamar wants to play ball like that's you know,

1015
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: that's he could absolutely hold out. Think about that, they

1016
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: draft the quarterback that's about to take over the rain.

1017
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: So not only does the Lamar not get his long

1018
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: term deal, he's on the franchise tag and he's just

1019
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: keeping the seat warm for the next guy. Oh baby, man,

1020
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: we got drama. I made so, by the way, that

1021
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: was the first bet that I made this week for

1022
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: the draft, and it's eight to one at most sports

1023
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: books the Ravens to draft their first draft pick this

1024
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: year to be a quarterback. I think that's a fantastic

1025
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: bet to make, um, and it's a pretty large wager

1026
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: for me. It's one of the larger wagers that I'll

1027
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: probably make on on Draft night. Because I know I

1028
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: love you guys too, bro, and this is so I

1029
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: haven't I've been sitting on this for two or three days.

1030
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: I didn't want to message you guys about this because

1031
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: I knew we were going to talk about it this

1032
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: week and I wanted to get your genuine reactions to it.

1033
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: But this is one of those events that it's there's

1034
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: no analytics involved, there's no number grabbing. It's just you

1035
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: have to try to put the puzzle pieces together. And

1036
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: I think people that are good at betting the draft,

1037
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: they obviously are tapped into some information, but they also

1038
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: have this ability to kind of put these puzzle pieces together.

1039
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that we get to do it live

1040
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 1: in living color on the show, because the more we're

1041
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: talking about this, the more excited I am about this bet.

1042
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: The Ravens are they have to draft a quarterback. They

1043
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: don't have a choice. There's four quarterbacks that are potential

1044
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks, maybe five. If you throw Hooker's name

1045
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: into the mix. You have to get one of those

1046
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: guys on your roster because you need depth at that position.

1047
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: Even if Lamar Jackson comes back and plays for you,

1048
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: how many games did he miss last year? There is

1049
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: a need at that position. And I thought eight to

1050
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: one for the Ravens first draft pick to be a

1051
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: quarterback was a fantastic wager. It's my first and probably

1052
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: going to be one of my biggest of Draft night. Well,

1053
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: I hope it hits, are you man? I might? I might.

1054
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still eight to one. That's

1055
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: the only thing because it is, yeah, quick move the

1056
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,640

1067
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: wildcard of the NFL Draft depending on what you believe

1068
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: and what you read. I believe it's Tennessee quarterback Hendon

1069
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Hooker because there's a little bit of buzz, little buzz

1070
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: right now. This is Jesse Palmer, so from NFL Network.

1071
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: He was on Steve Smith Seniors Cut to It podcast

1072
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: and he's talking about Hendon Hooker, the Tennessee quarterback and

1073
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: where a lot of teams have him rated on their

1074
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: draft boards. Here's Jesse Palmer. Listen, you want you want

1075
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: to hear what teams think of Hendon Hooker. Yes, there

1076
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: are plenty of teams that have him above the bottom

1077
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: two that you mentioned. There are plenty of teams that

1078
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: have him third on their list. Right below those top

1079
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: two in Bryce Young and c. J. Strout. Now there's

1080
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: a gap. There's a pretty sizeable gas stop two. Yeah,

1081
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: and then Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. Hey, Hendon Hooker

1082
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: slides right in there. Okay, so he's got Hendon Hooker,

1083
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: not him, Jesse Palmer, he's talking about teams around the

1084
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: league have Hendon Hooker there. Now here's the deal, man.

1085
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I read something from a Nick Baumgardner from the Athletic

1086
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: and he did a mock draft rounds one through three.

1087
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: He's got Hendon hook going to the Titans at pick

1088
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: number eighty one. Sorry, he's going to the Lions at

1089
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: pick number eighty one. So there's a big gap right there,

1090
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: right Like some teams have Hendon Hooker QB three and

1091
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: there are mock drafts that have Hendon Hooker going in

1092
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the third round at pick number eighty one. You know,

1093
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: so there's a big difference. What I would take from

1094
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: this is that there's always a wild card player in

1095
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the NFL draft in terms of when he's selected. I

1096
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: don't know that Hendon Hooker is going to turn into

1097
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Remember when Daniel Jones, the now Giants quarterback. I remember

1098
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Draft Day one of my friends said, hey, Giants at

1099
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: number six, sounds like they might get Daniel Jones, and

1100
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: it was like what it was just out of left field.

1101
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Nobody had that leading up to the draft or last

1102
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: year Derek Stingley Junior just was the hot name and

1103
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: goes number three overall as the LSU cornerback. I don't

1104
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: know where Hendon Hooker goes, and that to me, in

1105
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: terms of when he goes, I think that the biggest

1106
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: wild card of this draft. Yeah, I'll say this, it

1107
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: depends on what a general manager values. If you are

1108
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: looking for a guy who has a certain level of maturity,

1109
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: has been around the sport for a long time, has

1110
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: really overcome some obstacles and has shown some growth. Henn

1111
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and Hooker might be might be a tree you want

1112
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: to climb, because if you look at the forty nine ers,

1113
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: the situation they had with Brock Purty towards the end

1114
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: of their season. You know, mister irrelevant, last pick in

1115
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the draft, all that stuff. You know what he was

1116
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: was a four year starter in college and to a

1117
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: certain to a certain extent, I'm not saying it's everything. Obviously,

1118
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: you need the arm strength and you need to be

1119
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: a talented quarterback, athletically physically gifted, all those things. You

1120
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: gotta check a lot of those boxes too, But sometimes

1121
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: like age and composure and the amount of times that

1122
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: you've you've been in those tough situations and the amount

1123
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: of times you've seen those defenses, Like that stuff matters too,

1124
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, So Daniel Jones or Mitchell Trubisky, guys who

1125
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: had very limited starting time in college before being drafted,

1126
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the learning has to be done

1127
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: on the run in the NFL for guy like Hooker.

1128
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a more experienced guy. I think

1129
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: he's twenty five years old. He's one of the older

1130
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: draft prospects at his position. Very curious to see how

1131
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: much general managers in front office is value, you know,

1132
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: just his maturity, just the fact that he's been around

1133
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: the game longer than some of these other guys. Overcoming

1134
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: adversity too. And by the way, I'll get this in

1135
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: a minute, but it looks like Tiger's gonna make the

1136
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: cut both song JMTT Justin Thomas of Just Bogie. So

1137
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Tiger is safely inside the cut line. It looks like

1138
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: we're going to get a red shirt on Sunday. But

1139
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: back to Hendon Hooker, it is an interesting scenario because

1140
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 1: what he offers, I think is something that those other

1141
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: two guys that he's competing with, right, I don't think

1142
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: he's any I don't think he's gonna get taken in

1143
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: front of Stroud or Bryce Young. I think those guys,

1144
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: as we've established, will likely be the top two picks

1145
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: in the draft. I don't know what order yet, I

1146
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: don't know if there's going to be a trade, but

1147
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: I feel very confident in saying QB one, QB two.

1148
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: With those first two picks, that's when things get interesting.

1149
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Because Rich mentioned the age. I think that's very important.

1150
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: He offers something that the other guys don't, which is

1151
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: a little more maturity and a little more polish on

1152
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: his game. But then you have the injury and then

1153
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: another thing that has I think made his draft stock

1154
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: very uncertain. Tennessee played a very unique style of offense

1155
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: and it's not an offense that you're going to see

1156
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: replicated in the NFL, So that also is going to

1157
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: take some time for him to get acclimated. So because

1158
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: of the injury and because of the offense that he played,

1159
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard for a team to say, yep,

1160
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: that's our guy. We're gonna bring him in day one

1161
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: and be the starter. He needs a redshirt ear So

1162
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: the fit the team that he goes to has to

1163
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: make sense as well. Unlike near the top of the draft,

1164
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 1: and even unlike the Baltimore Ravens situation where they need

1165
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: if they trade Lamar Jackson, where they need a guy

1166
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: to step in from day one and be able to play.

1167
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: Handon Hooker needs a team that is willing to groom

1168
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: him a little bit. They need a team that already

1169
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: has an established starter. Let's say, I don't know, the

1170
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders, where it's a shorter term situation with

1171
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and they can bring in a guy like

1172
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Handon Hooker to groom him and make him a little

1173
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: more polished, and then eventually in twenty twenty four he

1174
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: takes the reins. The thing that's interesting here always tie

1175
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: it back to the gambling markets. Guys. The quarterback, I mean,

1176
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: come on, that's what we do. The quarterback draft number

1177
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: in the first round is sitting at four and a half.

1178
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Right now, I can name four that are definitely going

1179
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: to or at least probably going to be taken in

1180
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: the first round. Hooker is kind of the wildcard here,

1181
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: and I think where he gets drafted might set the

1182
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: mark for those other two guys. And if he gets

1183
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: drafted before Levis and Richardson, well then I think it's

1184
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: fair to say that our draft grades on Levis and

1185
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: Richardson were very wrong. Remember when he was Remember when

1186
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: both those guys were being talked about to be the

1187
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: number one picks in the draft. Yeah, we're a far

1188
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: cry from that, huh. Yeah. And it is interesting, how

1189
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of teams that aren't

1190
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: as patient drafting a quarterback and having him sit as

1191
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: players that are non quarterbacks and having him said. I

1192
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: just think of Jamison Williams, the wide receiver from Alabama

1193
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,479
Speaker 1: who went to the Lions. And don't get me wrong,

1194
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: there are still quarterbacks who sit for a little while

1195
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes sat for his lucky year until the final game

1196
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: of the season, So it does happen. But I think

1197
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: that to your point, Jared, there are a lot more

1198
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: teams that might look at Hendon Hooker and say, but

1199
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: when's he gonna be ready? And yeah, you're thinking about

1200
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, maybe too much, where a non quarterback

1201
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,959
Speaker 1: you might be more open the doors more open, where

1202
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: you're like, this guy is a stud and eventually it's

1203
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: going to be really, really good for us. I think

1204
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it differs between quarterbacks and non quarterbacks often, it really does. Yeah.

1205
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: And one of the things that when you're evaluating the

1206
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: quarterback position that is so important that a lot of

1207
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: people don't talk about is the interview process. Like part

1208
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: of the reason why guys will fire up the board

1209
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: is because they absolutely amaze scouts and general managers and

1210
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: position coaches and head coaches with their brain. You can

1211
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: watch a guy play football, and let's put it this way,

1212
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the college game isn't exactly brain surgery. You know, you

1213
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: you you have only a certain amount of things you

1214
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: can get to with the transient group of players that

1215
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: are coming through your program, and now with a lot

1216
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: of players being you know, two and done at the

1217
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,959
Speaker 1: quarterback position, there's only so much you can get done.

1218
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: You can only make the offense so advanced. You can

1219
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: only get so much information into the head of your quarterback.

1220
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to paralyze a quarterback with overthinking things,

1221
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: especially the more athletic he is so a lot of

1222
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: times these guys are unfinished, unpolished gems heading into the NFL.

1223
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: But there are occasions where a guy walks into a

1224
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: room and his understanding of the nuance of football puts

1225
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: him light years ahead of the other draft prospects. So

1226
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: it just gets the wheels turning. It everybody starts looking

1227
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: at a guy differently. They start saying, holy cow, like

1228
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: this guy was like fourth on our board and we've

1229
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: got a seriously consider moving him up to number two

1230
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: because he's just so intelligent. Like So those are the

1231
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: things that the general public we don't get any privy

1232
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: to those conversations, but guys can blow people away in

1233
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: these interviews, and that is such an important aspect of

1234
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, there's gonna be a guy that we

1235
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: don't know. Ye like that, We like that, we expect

1236
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: to go to a certain point and maybe it's one

1237
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: of these. It is a fascinating draft. And I know

1238
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: next year the quarterback situation as much, you know, has

1239
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: a higher upside with Caleb Williams of course, but then

1240
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,759
Speaker 1: some other guys that are pretty up there as well.

1241
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: But there is going to be one quarterback out of

1242
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: this group. Of five, I would say that surprises us

1243
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: to the upside, and there's probably going to be one

1244
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: or two that surprised us to the downside. And because

1245
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: of the price that the quarterback situation carries with it,

1246
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: teams are more inclined to take those guys in the

1247
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: first round. You get that extra year when you get

1248
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round, you get that fifth year,

1249
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes teams incline, like the

1250
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: Ravens did with it always comes back to the Ravens

1251
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson when they trade it up in the

1252
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: first round, but take Lamar Jackson, well, they get that

1253
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: extra fifth year control. Guess what year that control is

1254
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: now hinging on this year and it's it's and you're

1255
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: seeing the process play out where the Ravens actually do

1256
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: have very interesting decision here. And if they do end

1257
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: up trading for Lamar, which it appears that that's what

1258
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: it's leaning towards right now, then I would expect them

1259
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: to take one of these five guys, probably not the

1260
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: top two, but definitely one of these other three. And

1261
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: then they have to decide which of the three they

1262
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: like best. And maybe it is maybe Hooker's the guy

1263
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: who knows. But ah, I don't know if he's gonna

1264
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: get taken as high as we think based off of

1265
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, because of of where his injury situation is. Yeah. Yeah,

1266
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: it's an interesting thing, it really is. Jamison Williams tore

1267
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: his ACL in the National Championship Game and went as

1268
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: a high pick to the Lions last year. What at

1269
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 1: eleven twelve? I have to go back and look at it. Yeah, yeah,

1270
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: somewhere in that range. So a quarterback in Hendon Hooker

1271
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: who relies on athleticism but not like crazy crazy, and

1272
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: he tore his ACL like months before. Yeah, yeah, like

1273
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: the toward the end of the regular season right there.

1274
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: All right, we've got Low Isaac Lowenkron with the latest

1275
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: including I'm sure a Master's update, what's going on? I Low? Indeed,

1276
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 1: it is now official, fellas Tiger Woods has made the

1277
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: cut at the Masters for the twenty third consecutive year.

1278
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 1: He finished the second round right at the three overpar

1279
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 1: cut line. Brooks Kepka ends the second round with a

1280
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: two shot lead to twelve under because John rom just

1281
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: bogeed eighteen and his second round at ten under par

1282
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: overall in the NFL notable words overnight from New York

1283
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who was appearing on stage

1284
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: at a live event with Boomer asiasin and take this

1285
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: for what you will, Rogers, He's gonna be here again.

1286
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Take that for what you will again. I'd like to

01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:12,200

Speaker 1: way down. You don't even like one of their songs?

1295
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: No one, Oh, I feel like Ilo is about to

1296
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: snap you in half like a pencil. I'm waiting for

1297
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 1: a steel chair being death cage match between the turn

1298
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:57,560
Speaker 1: buckle back to you, all right? You know how this

1299
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: promo titled jpinion even though it was wrong. By the way,

1300
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: what like nineteen ninety nine me would have been thrilled

1301
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: that I was standing up for fish anyway in the

1302
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: NBA of those Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns one twenty

1303
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: one to one oh seven, keeping their hopes of avoiding

1304
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: the play in tournament alive, and the Chicago Bulls wanted

1305
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Dallas one fifteen to one twelve, eliminating the Mavericks and

1306
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: clinching a play in spot for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

1307
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Though you can make the argument that the Mavericks basically

1308
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: eliminated themselves and a must win game. They held out

1309
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving and four others and then pulled Luca don

1310
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Chich during the second quarter. Back to you guys, good stuff. Ilo,

1311
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: It's Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. Real quickly,

1312
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: just on the Masters, as Ilo was talking about, Justin

1313
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: Thomas had a put to make the cut, and it

1314
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: was about I'm not great on judging distance, but it's

1315
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: about six feet or so, not a gimme, and he

1316
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: left it Jess short, little to the right, and he

1317
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,759
Speaker 1: just tapped it right away. He's like, yeah, he bogie

1318
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: the last two holes in. Justin Thomas misses the cut.

1319
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Meanwhile John Ram who's in second place, his last four holes,

1320
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: he goes Bertie Bogie, Bertie Bogie. Kind of weird. But

1321
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: he's two strokes off the lead. That is John rom

1322
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 1: But justin Thomas John rom As it's raining like crazy

1323
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: at the Master's little drama at the end of their

1324
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: rounds there. Yeah, And I don't know what the weather

1325
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: forecast looks like for tomorrow and Augusta, but if you

1326
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: get a decent amount of rain here, you could have

1327
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: some low scores if the weather holds up tomorrow. Because

1328
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: you soften the greens, you make it a little bit

1329
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 1: easier to handle some of the undulation on these pots

1330
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: and stick the green from the fairway on those approach shots.

1331
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 1: So it's possible on our Master's Sunday when we're watching

1332
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: these guys, these guys make their moves. I like, that's

1333
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts about this this tournament is

1334
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: the fact that you can see some really low scores

1335
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: because it's the same course every year. The other majors,

1336
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,759
Speaker 1: the Open, the PGA Championship, the Open Championship over in Europe,

1337
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: like it bounces from course to course to course, the

1338
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Masters is played out one course, so if you've been

1339
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: there before, you know what it's going to look like

1340
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: the next year. The year after they make changes, they

1341
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: lengthen holes down and stuff like that. But you get

1342
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: what I'm You get what I'm saying, Like, you get

1343
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,560
Speaker 1: used to playing this course and you could turn you

1344
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: could card some low scores, especially if the course conditions

1345
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: are good for you. Yeah, eight of the last ten

1346
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: winners have played at least two prior masters. Yep, and

1347
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: we haven't had a debutant winner since nineteen seventy nine.

1348
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: Fuzzy Zeller had to get Fuzzy Zeller's name. Also, the

1349
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: product always always, we always get them in once a week. Yeah,

1350
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's basically, if you're listening at home, the

1351
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: bingo card for Fuzzy Zeller, you can put that spot

1352
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: now in. But the interesting thing, a lot of it

1353
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: matters too when you play. For example, But guys that

1354
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: had to play their second round and finish up this

1355
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: morning in this brutal weather eighty eight over par compared

1356
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: to eighteen overpar for the earlier tee times on Friday.

1357
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's just the luck of the draw. And

1358
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately Justin Thomas seems to be on the wrong side

1359
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,640
Speaker 1: of that cut. All right, We've got we've got two

1360
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: guys here on the right side of the cut. That

1361
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 1: would be Rich Ornberger, Penn State All American. Jared Smith, FSR,

1362
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: betting analyst. I feel like I'm on the fringe line.

1363
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of like Tiger meeting Justin Thomas

1364

Speaker 1: to bogie eighteen to make the cut, you know, right like,

1365
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's what where I'm at. I'm probably no one

1366

1378
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: John Lee Hooker, but it just I'm talking about blues music.

1379
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: I gave Iowa say, I'm a heart attack right there

1380
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: of it talking about blues music in general. So John

1381
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Lee got me thinking about BB is about jazz. Yeah,

1382
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: I just go to this great jazz club in New York.

1383
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Are you going? I got some love for jazz music.

1384
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie Whip Last, Jared? Oh, yeah,

1385
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: of course I've never. Oh, you gotta see it. Rich

1386
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: It's outstanding Simmons. Is he is freaking season? Yes, he's

1387
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: so great for that part. Okay, We've got a player

1388
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: who called his shot years in advance. This is Tyreek Hill,

1389
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: So the Dolphins wide receiver. He was a guest on UM. Well,

1390
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: this is part of the Totally Offensive podcast. This is

1391
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: Tyreek talking about his plans in the future. Let's check

1392
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: this out here. I'm going for Tim Man. I'm gonna

1393
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: finish out this contract with the Dolphins, man, and then

1394
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it quits. You know, I want to

1395
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 1: I want to go into the business side. I want to, like,

1396
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: I want to do so many things in my life. Bro,

1397
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: I really want to get into like the gaming space,

1398
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Like I really want to get huge and that. And

1399
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm doing right now. I'm using

1400
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 1: my platform creating a gaming team, which isn't lunch yet.

1401
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: The ship lunch by the end of this mind, so

1402
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 1: running gaming, I'm gonna just sign like different content creators,

1403
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: different athletes. Yeah, he was either on a podcast or

1404
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: in Kansas City Radio. I'm not sure, but in any event,

1405
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: you heard what he had to say right there. And look, man,

1406
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 1: he would be thirty one years old if he does

1407
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: call it quits at the end of the twenty twenty

1408
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: five season, so that would be three seasons from now,

1409
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 1: and I ask my takeaway is, Hey, if that's what

1410
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: he ends up doing, God bless him. Hope he's successful

1411
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 1: outside of football. I'm hoping that the Dolphins three pete

1412
01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: and then he walks off as the only yeah three

1413
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: peatd in NFL history. That I'd be fine with that.

1414
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: That'd be a good trade off right there. But look, man,

1415
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: we'll see if he feels the same way three years

1416
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: from now, because if he's still a special receiver, which

1417
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: he most likely will be, that's a ton of cash

1418
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: to walk away from. So again, more power to him

1419
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: if he chooses to do that, But I don't know

1420
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: if he's going to feel the same way three years

1421
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: from now when he's facing all that cash. Potentially, Yeah,

1422
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility that he's being one hundred

1423
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 1: percent truthful right now in the moment that he really

1424
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: does feel like thirty or thirty one is enough years

1425
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: committing his life to football, which is a violent game,

1426
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: and it can start taking things away from you. The

1427
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: longer you play, the older you get playing it because

1428
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 1: you accumulate injuries. And maybe he's more available than not,

1429
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: and so a lot of people probably discount the wear

1430
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: and tear that the game's doing to him. But every

1431
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: time he gets tackled, every time he takes a collision.

1432
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these guys play through concussions

1433
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: that you'll never hear about because it's it's the reality

1434
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: of football. It's a concussive Sportum. Yeah, I bet you

1435
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,639
Speaker 1: there is. There is some truth to what he's saying.

1436
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a fan of this. I like good editing.

1437
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: I like movies that are short, especially when they leave

1438
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: you wanting more. I like, um, I like it when

1439
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: pros do this with their careers too. Like I think

1440
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady probably spent one too many years at the party.

1441
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,560
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing maybe some of the same with

1442
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We'll see how it looks an act too

1443
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: with the Jets, But I appreciate good editing and Tyreek

1444
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Hill is already Hall of Fame or what else does

1445
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: he have to prove? Maybe he wins another Super Bowl

1446
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 1: with a different franchise. We'll see how the Miami Dolphins

1447
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: look this year. But I like this. I like the

1448
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: fact that he could, he could call a shot and

1449
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: ride off into the sunset. A rich man and a

1450
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: great football player. Yeah. I love this new era of

1451
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: football that we're in where these players are a lot

1452
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: more open about how they feel and what their plans are.

1453
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: Right twenty years ago, we don't hear these stories because

1454
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: of all the platforms that are available for these guys. Now,

1455
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers on Pat McAfee, the Kelsey's have their

1456
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: own podcast, we get a glimpse of actually who these

1457
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: players are as individuals. Right, rich If you imagine you

1458
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: had your own podcasts during your career, probably would have

1459
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: been a bad thing. Probably. What it does is it

1460
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: gives us and from the gambling space, from the fandom space,

1461
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: we get to be attached to them a little more.

1462
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: And I think it only makes the game more accessible

1463
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: for the fans these days and for the Betters. No,

1464
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: you're completely right. Think about the Players Tribune or just

1465
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: going on Twitter, your own podcast, like, yeah, you know

1466
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: these It used to be back in the day. It

1467
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: was almost like like radio hosts, how you just had

1468
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: to picture in your mind what they looked like. Is

1469
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: just different now. So yeah, I totally hear you on that.

1470
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Coming up next, the three most interesting NFL teams and

1471
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: the three least interesting NFL teams. That is on the way. Oh,

1472
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: it's going on everybody. I hope you're enjoying your Saturday

1479
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 1: As Ilo mentioned, Tiger Woods makes the cut just barely. Yeah,

1480
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 1: it's barely, but enough to make it for a twenty

1481
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: third consecutive time at the Masters ties in all time record.

1482
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: So he is in. So we get some drama going

1483
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: on over here, and that's weird because we're gonna see

1484
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 1: him a little bit later today, are we not? How

1485
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: are they staggering this where? I mean today's the third round.

1486
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: They were just finishing the second round here in the morning.

1487
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: So man, we got remember like two a day practices

1488
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: high school football. Is we got a two a day

1489
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: for Tiger today? That is rough for him and his

1490
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: bad leg. Yeah. Yeah. You know when you when you

1491
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,560
Speaker 1: start to look at some of these apps where you

1492
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: can you can bet parlays or whatever you call fantasy golf, um,

1493
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: you kind of feel like you're gonna take the over

1494
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: on a lot of these these uh total total swings

1495
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna take to to get to the finish of

1496
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the third round because it's gonna be raining, the club

1497
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: gets awfully heavy, You're gonna be slipping and sliding around

1498
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: there walking the course. I mean, it's treacherous. It's treacherous

1499
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: for like an average everyday golfer going out into the

1500
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: rain to try to manage a course because it's it's

1501
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: just not easy walking walking. You're you know, even if

1502
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 1: you're not carrying your own bag, just walking that much.

1503
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: Throw on top of it that this guy's leg has

1504
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: been surgically repaired a year and a half ago, I

1505
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a hard round for tiger Wood,

1506
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a hard round for the whole field.

1507
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: It's expected to rain all day long in Augusta. Yeah,

1508
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: the weather. It went from spring in Georgia to the

1509
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: devil went down to Georgia. The Charlie Williams band song

1510
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: like just It's just an overnight just turned into this

1511
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: just absolute, just firestorm of weather. And you're right, the

1512
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: body of Tiger unfortunately at this stage of his career.

1513
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: And I don't know what I would have done if

1514
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: if I had a right leg that got collapsed by

1515
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: a car accident and a left leg that's been operated

1516
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: on a million times, because that's, you know, one of

1517
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: his It's just it's remarkable how how he's been able

1518
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 1: to persevere and how he made the cut twenty three

1519
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: consecutive made cuts at Augusta and oh, by the way,

1520
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: Freddie Couples, sixty three years old, also will be playing

1521
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: the weekend at Augusta National. He beat out a bunch

1522
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: of other golfers because he finished T forty in the

1523
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: first two sounds and there was eighty eight guys in

1524
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 1: the field, So I guess eighty seven if you if

1525
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: you count, or eighty six if you count the two

1526
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 1: withdrawals that we have with Kevin no Wills Al Tour.

1527
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: So you got Freddy Couples and Tiger Woods combined age

1528
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: of over one hundred playing the weekend the Gusta National

1529
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: should be fun times. Absolutely. Now, speaking of fun times,

1530
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: so you've probably heard the four NFL teams that are

1531
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: eligible for hard knocks this year, where it's the Jets,

1532
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Saints, and the Washington Commanders. And of

1533
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: that list, assuming Aaron Rodgers goes to the Jets, of

1534
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: the Jets have to be the most interesting. Now, if

1535
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: we spend this thing forward, when I thought we would do, guys,

1536
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: we would compare lists. Who doesn't love comparing lists radio? Huh?

1537
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: I love it? I sure do. So I was thinking

1538
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: the top three most interesting teams the bottom three least

1539
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: interesting teams. And the way I thought about this is

1540
01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: if this is in season, Okay, the schedule released, and

1541
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, Sunday night football, we've got team fill

1542
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: in the blank. Who are you most interested to not

1543
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: only see but also talk about? Right, whether you call

1544
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: into sports radio or you go on your message board

1545
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: or whatever, like, what is those teams like separating yourself

1546
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 1: from your favorite team? What are the teams that you

1547
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: are most entertained by? So I'll give my quick list

1548
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 1: here real fast. Aaron notes three most interesting according to

1549
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: no is Number one the Chiefs defending Champs Mahomes offense,

1550
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. You know all the credentials. I would put

1551
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: them number one, especially the added layer of can they repeat?

1552
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: But they bring superstar status. Number two, little bit of

1553
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: a curveball. I'm gonna go Jets. I'm assuming that Aaron

1554
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going there something new, Aaron Rodgers in New

1555
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: York City? How good are they? How is he adjusting?

1556
01:26:56,479 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: Is the chemistry there? I think it's gonna be a

1557
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: walking soap opera. You already have the GM Joe Douglas

1558
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 1: calling his shot doing an event with WFA N said,

1559
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gonna be here right like, I think that

1560
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: would be a really compelling watch throughout the entire season.

1561
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Number three, I gotta go with the Cowboys. They're always interesting,

1562
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: they play an exciting brand of football, they're relevant, they're good.

1563
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 1: It's just a question of how good can they be?

1564
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: But they're a walking side show with Jerry Jones, and

1565
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 1: it's a soap opera. So I would say those are

1566
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: the three teams I'm most interested in watching and also

1567
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: talking about. All right, here are my three, and real quick,

1568
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: they all have something very much so in common. I'll

1569
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: start with the San Francisco forty nine ers. Oh, I mean,

1570
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do at quarterback? I mean Brock

1571
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Purty or Trey Lance. Jimmy Garoppolo is now a Raider.

1572
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: It just feels like they've got a huge decision coming

1573
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 1: down the pike, whether or not to trade Trey Lance,

1574
01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 1: whether or not Brock Purdy in act two of this

1575
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 1: unbelievable a career so far that he's cobbled together after

1576
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: being the last player picked in the NFL draft in

1577
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, what happens his sophomore year. I'm so

1578
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: interested in the San Francisco forty nine ers kind of

1579
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: the same thing, except it's a year later in his career.

1580
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wow. AFC South doesn't

1581
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: generate a lot of interest typically, but I am fascinated

1582
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: to see what happens with him. I think he could

1583
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: explode this year. He already really has. Last season was

1584
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: pretty incredible, considering that Doug Peterson had to pick up

1585
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: the pieces where urban Meyer left off a year prior

1586
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 1: to his arriving on the scene in Jacksonville. So I'm

1587
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: really curious how everything looks there. And then I'll give

1588
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: you my Probably I would say this is my number

1589
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: one or my one A behind the San Francisco forty

1590
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: nine ers. The Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson. I mean, that

1591
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 1: was ridiculous what we saw last year. Who could have

1592
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: predicted that the Denver Broncos would have looked so hideous?

1593
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I look, they made a change at head coach.

1594
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: It's a no nonsense change. Sean Payton talked about how

1595
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: they're trimming a lot of fat around there. You know,

1596
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: he's getting rid of you know, Russell Wilson's throw coach

1597
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: and his mind coach, and he's like, I'm the coach.

1598
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,679
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the captain. Now he's taken over the ship.

1599
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in this uh Peyton offense for

1600
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. But I'm fascinated by the Denver Broncos. I

1601
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,759
Speaker 1: love those all of those those those choices the question

1602
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: that I have, guys, is should I change because two

1603
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: of them you guys already mentioned and oh, it's almost

1604
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: like a It's almost like a when you go to

1605
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: a museum, everyone interprets the painting in a different way. Yeah, right,

1606
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: Like all three of us kind of have these very

1607
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: unique perspectives on the game. But it's ironic that two

1608
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:58,720
Speaker 1: of the three teams that I had on my most

1609
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,719
Speaker 1: interesting you guys already talked about. I mean, I'll mention

1610
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 1: them and then we can we can branch off. I

1611
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: am I'm with you guys on the Niners. Rich, I'm Rich,

1612
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm really with you on the Niners. I think the

1613
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Niners are the most fascinating team in football every year

1614
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: because their talent is overwhelmingly strong, but they just have

1615
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,719
Speaker 1: this quarterback situation that's always in flux. It was Jimmy

1616
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: g Alex Smith and now it's the it's the Lance

1617
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: stuff that we don't know with Purty. And they were

1618
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship Game last year with Brock freaking Purty. Uh.

1619
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,640
Speaker 1: And we'll see what that develops into this year. I

1620
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 1: had to pick the Jets. I mean, the Jets are

1621
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: they are an enigma wrapped in a riddle, you've got

1622
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,680
Speaker 1: the g and with this, I didn't even realize the

1623
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Douglas stuff happened until we kind of started the show

1624
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,639
Speaker 1: and we were kind of looking at the rundown and everything.

1625
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that that story broke overnight because I

1626
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 1: think it makes the Jets even more fascinating because you

1627
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: literally had the GM doing pro cutting his own promos

1628
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:03,080
Speaker 1: for in w FA and radio events. It's it's it's nuts.

1629
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: And then the Carolina Panthers were my third team. Guys,

1630
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 1: they traded up for the first pick of the draft.

1631
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: How can they not be the most interesting team on

1632
01:31:12,160 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 1: this LIZT And obviously we don't know who they're gonna take,

1633
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 1: but whoever they do take is going to have so

1634
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: much pressure on him from day one because your team

1635
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 1: traded up to get you. With that, I think it's

1636
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: gonna be CJ. Strout, but there's a little Bryce Young

1637
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: Buzz as well still in the market. And I think

1638
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich, you know, under the under the watchful eye,

1639
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 1: now it's gonna be a very fascinating team. So I'll

1640
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: give you nine Ers, Jets and Panthers is my three

1641
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: most interesting. Okay, let's go three least interesting NFL teams.

1642
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,759
Speaker 1: So I'll start with Basically, think about this is thirtieth

1643
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: out of all of the teams, so this is my

1644
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: third least interesting team. I would go with the Titans.

1645
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 1: I would go with Tennessee. I thought about a couple

1646
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: other teams in the AFC South, not a very interesting division.

1647
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 1: The Colts don't have much juice. The Texans don't either,

1648
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,400
Speaker 1: But both the Colts and Texans will most likely have

1649
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks, and that to me makes them a bit

1650
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 1: more interesting than the Titans. You get air Tannehill. I

1651
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: love watching Derek Henry, but collectively, if the Titans are

1652
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: featured in primetime, you're like, Okay, it's gonna be smash mouth.

1653
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: They're gonna play good defense, but it's probably not gonna

1654
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: be that stylish or that entertaining. I would just put

1655
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:26,759
Speaker 1: the Titans there at third in terms of the bottom

1656
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:30,800
Speaker 1: three the least interesting teams number two like a second

1657
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 1: to dead last. I'd go with the Arizona Cardinals. Kyler

1658
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 1: Murray's gonna be hurt most of the season. I'm not

1659
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: interested in watching Colt McCoy or talking about the Arizona Cardinals.

1660
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 1: Like without Kyler, I'm out They're probably not gonna have

1661
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins either. And my least interesting team in the NFL,

1662
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: I would go with the Washington Commanders. The most interesting

1663
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 1: thing I can say about them is they hired Eric

1664
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: b Enemy. I'm not watching a team for their assistant

1665
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: head coach, you know what I mean. Like, I'm not

1666
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about them because of the assistant. Most

1667
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:03,439
Speaker 1: likely I'm bored with them. I love some of their players.

1668
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin is a baller as a wide receiver, but

1669
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder. As soon as we could get rid of

1670
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 1: this guy, I am so tired of talking about anything

1671
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: related to Daniel Snyder. And that's a team in that

1672
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: division that has easily the least juice. I think they're

1673
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: the least compelling team in the entire league. Yeah, Terry

1674
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 1: McLaurin is well on his way to being finished his

1675
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 1: career in Andre Johnson territory, like where he never really

1676
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 1: had a quarterback, unbelievable potential as a receiver and really

1677
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: really is an extreme talent. But oh my goodness, I

1678
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 1: agree with you on the Commanders. They make my list

1679
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 1: as well, for many of the reasons you just mentioned.

1680
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you two other teams that actually share

1681
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: a division. I think this division is going to be trash.

1682
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 1: I think it overwhelmingly has been trash for a long time.

1683
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: Tom Brady really saved it. The NFC South stinks. Tampa

1684
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 1: Bay is going to be a dumpster fire after Tom

1685
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Brady moves on. I think it's going to be one

1686
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: of the biggest snooze fest you've ever seen. In fact,

1687
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: last year it was. The only difference is when you

1688
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame quarterback. Everybody gave them a chance,

1689
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 1: including myself, and it just sort of waiting. You were

1690
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: waiting for the guest of honor to arrive all the

1691
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: way to them the party, and they never showed up.

1692
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:28,000
Speaker 1: So Tampa Bay makes my list. And then the Atlanta Falcons.

1693
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: Has there been a more anonymous team over the past

1694
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: decade than the Atlanta Falcons? What are they doing down there? Like,

1695
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: what exactly the hell are the Atlanta Falcons doing? I mean, defensively,

1696
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 1: they do some nice things. Offensively, occasionally you're like, whoa, yeah,

1697
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: Mariota that I guess, yeah, no, he could put it

1698
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: together sometimes still or like, the best you could say

1699
01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: about them for most of the season is, man, you know, Atlanta,

1700
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 1: they really fought hard and kept it close. What an

1701
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 1: awful watch they are. I feel terrible for Atlanta fans.

1702
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: I think they are going to turn in another snooze

1703
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: fest of a season. So the Titans, I agree with

1704
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 1: that they were one of the teams on my list.

1705
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 1: It seems like we're all kind of an agreement that

1706
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: Tennessee just is a kind of boring team, Like they're

1707
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 1: just very blase. There's nothing really sexy about them. And

1708
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of the direction that I went with my

1709
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 1: other two teams. And again it goes back to the

1710
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: art Museum metaphor, like we were given this assignment to

1711
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: pick our three most and least interesting teams, and it's

1712
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 1: funny how we all interpreted in a little different way.

1713
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 1: The other two teams are teams that have actually had

1714
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 1: a lot of success. They were actually playoff teams last year.

1715
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 1: But they're just they don't move the needle it all

1716
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: for me anymore. And one of the reasons is because

1717
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,479
Speaker 1: Tom Brady just left, and it's the Bucks, Like, what

1718
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay right now? Like, what are they going

1719
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 1: to be next year. Could it be from how high

1720
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 1: they ascended when they got Brady and it's going to

1721
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: be the exact opposite descent now that Brady's gone. Because

1722
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls to me, is a head coach just does

1723
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 1: not move the needle. I experienced him with the Jets

1724
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: and he's just not one of those guys that inspires

1725
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:12,640
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence that the team is going to

1726
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: be buttoned up in those little detail areas. And then

1727
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 1: finally the Minnesota Vikings guys. The reason that I put

1728
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings on the list is it fair for me

1729
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:26,520
Speaker 1: to say that they were last year the worst thirteen

1730
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: win team in the history of the NFL. Their defense

1731
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: in the game against the Giants, the playoff game that

1732
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: and you saw what happened to the Giants following week

1733
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,120
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. That was one of the worst performances

1734
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,519
Speaker 1: I've ever seen for a team that had thirteen wins

1735
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: at a home game in the playoffs. The uninspired defensive scheme, tactics, personnel, whatever.

1736
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 1: And Kirk Cousins to me is the most boring quarterback

1737
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,560
Speaker 1: I think perhaps in the league. Like you didn't like,

1738
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 1: you didn't like the two yard passed at the tight

1739
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 1: end on fourth or whatever it was. Now, No, especially

1740
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: when I had Vikings playing three in that game, I

1741
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,799
Speaker 1: was not exactly how I wanted to see my gamble

1742
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 1: day end there. But again, when I and there's a

1743
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 1: lot of talent on this team, and I think there's

1744
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 1: there's certainly upside. They played a division now without Aaron

1745
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers most likely, so that division will still be very

1746
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 1: much there's to lose, perhaps, But man, oh man, I

1747
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: just and when it comes to least interesting, is Kirk

1748
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 1: cut right the most interesting man in the world? Remember

1749
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,120
Speaker 1: those those commercials? Yea, his Kirk Cousins the least interesting

1750
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: man in the NFL. It's actually fair to say, considering

1751
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: his contract where he's at. I don't know. If I

1752
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: had an honorable mention, it probably would have gone to

1753
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I agree with you, Like, if you

1754
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 1: want to talk about anonymous, I mean, as talented as

1755
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 1: a football team as they are, it is just a

1756
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 1: little bit milktoast When you have Kirk Cousins as your

1757
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 1: your fearless leader, it's just it's it's it's like, hey,

1758
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 1: what do you like on your toast? Um? Nothing? Wait,

1759
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: coming in say that? What we're doing well. Butter right,

1760
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: you want but no, no, no, no, dry, Yeah it is.

1761
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,639
Speaker 1: You know it's interesting though too. With our least interesting teams,

1762
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: there at least is something, maybe multiple things that are

1763
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 1: interesting about them, but just collectively, right, Like Minnesota's got

1764
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, who's arguably the best receiver in football. I

1765
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Washington, Like Terry McLaurin is fantastic. If you look

1766
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 1: at the Titans, Derrick Henry, like these teams that collectively

1767
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:40,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned Rich Atlanta, Drake London the wide receiver, Kyle

1768
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 1: Pitt's the stud tight end. Like there are parts of

1769
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 1: each of those teams that are compelling, it's just collectively

1770
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: you'd have them at the bottom. It's a good problem

1771
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: to have where your least compelling teams in the league

1772
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 1: still have something entertaining about them. Yeah, you know, that

1773
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: is absolutely true. That's what and that's what the NFL

1774
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: does extremely well. Um with the draft and the way

1775
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 1: this league is constructed. It gives everybody a chance to

1776
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,520
Speaker 1: get better faster. Now, there are a lot of franchises

1777
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 1: that are misled by poor ownership or bad executives or

1778
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 1: poor coaching or even players who don't live up to

1779
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: expectations and so as a result, Yeah, fan bases who

1780
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 1: are almost punished by these teams, and you know their

1781
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: loyalty to them. But yeah, I mean the NFL storylines,

1782
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: They just keep pumping them out and we keep coming

1783

01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: Three big names. One's in, one's out, one might be

1804
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:46,240
Speaker 1: on the move. So who's in? Lebron James Lakers are

1805
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: in the play in. At worst, they have a shot

1806
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: to move up to at least the six spot to

1807
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:55,719
Speaker 1: avoid the play in. But fifteen and seven the Lakers

1808
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:58,680
Speaker 1: are since the All Star Break best record in the

1809
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 1: Western Conference. After a two and ten start. Here they

1810
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: are and playing a lot better. The big name that's

1811
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: out Zion Williamson of the Pelicans. He's still nursing a

1812
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Reportedly he's going to miss the play in

1813
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,920
Speaker 1: tournament as he tries to get better in time for

1814
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs should they qualify. For that, twenty six point

1815
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 1: seven rebounds and only twenty nine games this season, he's

1816
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:25,679
Speaker 1: still trying to get that hammy back in working order.

1817
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:29,679
Speaker 1: And then looking at the standing scrolling down, down down

1818
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 1: that oh, the Dallas Mavericks who have been eliminated from

1819
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 1: playoff contention. They fear that Luca don Chich could request

1820
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: to trade. Now this would be following next season in

1821
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty four. They're fearing he might request a trade if

1822
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: they don't greatly improve the team. He just completed the

1823
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 1: first year of a five year extension to the tune

1824
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: of two hundred and fifteen million dollars. So there you go,

1825
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: Lebron in Zion out at least for the play in

1826
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: and Luca possible out of Dallas altogether a year from now. Yeah,

1827
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 1: you kind of got to do the thing that the

1828
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks did. If you're the Dallas Mavericks, you got

1829
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: to figure out how to appease your star, and it

1830
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,640
Speaker 1: did well for Milwaukee. They were able to keep you

1831
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: honest there, Yeah, I look, the consideration is this, You

1832
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: can't you can't just expect the star to stay put,

1833
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: not in the NBA with the players having so much

1834
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:31,519
Speaker 1: power in that league, and it's rare in general, I

1835
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 1: mean it's even happening in the NFL level. I think

1836
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: gone are the days of a Tom Brady who's going

1837
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,799
Speaker 1: to take less and do more for an entire career

1838
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 1: to build team success. I don't think it's necessarily because

1839
01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: athletes are selfish or that like there's a new breeding

1840
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:52,560
Speaker 1: ground of more selfish athletes that are leaving college. I

1841
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: just think that potentially, the way the NBA is built,

1842
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: it just lends to more player fluidity or I should say,

1843
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 1: roster fluidity and player movement than other leagues. So that's

1844
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:09,879
Speaker 1: the most compelling storyline. I don't know if the Lakers

1845
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: are going to be healthy enough to really cruise to

1846
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 1: any sort of astounding finish on this season. If even

1847
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: if they advance out of the play in into the playoff,

1848
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens, though. Yeah, that would just be

1849
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:25,599
Speaker 1: for ratings more than anything else. You know, getting Lebron

1850
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:27,680
Speaker 1: into the play in game again, you know, into the

1851
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 1: actual playoffs and facing a Denver or Memphis or someone

1852
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 1: like that, where you get this young roster for the

1853
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,840
Speaker 1: Grizzlies or this MVP candidate and Yokich going up against

1854
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 1: le Bron James. I'm sure that would be great for

1855
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 1: the ratings. The biggest story of those three Brian to

1856
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:44,720
Speaker 1: me is of course the Dallas Mavericks, because Luca don

1857
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: Chick is one of those stars that if he does

1858
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: get traded to a certain team, that team instantly overnight

1859
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: becomes the favorite to win it all, right, depending on

1860
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: which team it is, I guess. But when you have

1861
01:43:56,479 --> 01:44:00,599
Speaker 1: a player like that that could become available, and it's wild,

1862
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: I think in I think the NBA is the only

1863
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: sport right where these types of players get traded, Like

1864
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 1: Mike Trout's never getting traded in Major League Baseball, like

1865
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 1: those types of players never, Like the best players don't

1866
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 1: get traded in baseball. In the NFL, maybe a little

1867
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 1: bit more because of the contract situation and the guaranteed

1868
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 1: money that isn't there. But in the NBA, it seems

1869
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: like every year there's a star that's on the block, right,

1870
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Durant was a guy, Kyrie Irving, Like

1871
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 1: it seems like every year James Harden. There's one of

1872
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: these players that is a transcendent player in our current

1873
01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: iteration of the game that wants to be traded or

1874
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 1: gets traded. It really is the wild wild West, and

1875
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 1: the players have so much power that they could just

1876
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,080
Speaker 1: walk into the GM's office one day and said, I'm

1877
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 1: not happy, I just want to be traded, Like it

1878
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 1: is the only league that that happens. It's remarkable. Even

1879
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,799
Speaker 1: the Raven situation currently with Lamar Jackson, it is taking,

1880
01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, teams moving heaven and Earth to try to

1881
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,360
Speaker 1: get him off the roster. The NBA, it seems like

1882
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:04,719
Speaker 1: it's just commonplace. Up James Harden walks into the Houston

1883
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Rockets GM office, he wants to get traded. He's on

1884
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets a few weeks later. Like it's the

1885
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 1: only sport where this actually takes place on a yearly basis.

1886
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm completely disagreeing with you. I'm not.

1887
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: It's just a subtle pushback where you'll see like a

1888
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,599
Speaker 1: one Soto end up with the pod Race. You see

1889
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 1: a little bit maybe show Hey Otani. But you're completely

1890
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: right in terms of how frequently it happens in the NBA,

1891
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 1: it happens a lot. We just saw it with the

1892
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 1: Nets with Kyrie Irving going elsewhere, KD going elsewhere, like

1893
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 1: the MAVs. They're projecting to possibly be the new Nets.

1894
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 1: It hasn't even been a year yet, Yeah, and they're

1895
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: projecting to possibly being the new Nets where Kyrie goes

1896
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 1: elsewhere and maybe Luca goes elsewhere. So you're right. The

1897
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 1: frequency in the NBA unlike any other league. There's no

1898
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:56,320
Speaker 1: doubt in terms of stars, superstars saying I went out

1899
01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 1: of here, the one guy like Damian Lillard is staying

1900
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: there in Portland, Like it's kind of just me sticking

1901
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 1: with my team and being loyal over here where a

1902
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: lot of the other superstars are going else. Loyalty Yeah, yeah,

1903
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:10,759
Speaker 1: a little bit, right, because like when you think about

1904
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,280
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard and you think about some of the other

1905
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: stars that he could potentially pair up with, Yeah, you know,

1906
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 1: you can make an argument, hey dame, what are you doing.

1907
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: You know, there's a little bit of that because it's like, well,

1908
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, I get it, and I appreciate it, and

1909
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: I do think it's probably better for sport overall. But

1910
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 1: there's this other side of it where you actually kind

1911
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: of as a fan, want to look out for the

1912
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: player and the player's best interest, And I mean, he's

1913
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: done way more for the Trailblazers than they've done for

1914
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: him that I don't even think there's an argument to

1915
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,560
Speaker 1: be made there. So yeah, it's interesting. I'm torn on

1916
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: the subject because as a former player in a different sport,

1917
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: I love the availability for players to advance themselves, especially

1918
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 1: from a monetary standpoint because the earning window is so short.

1919
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: But it doesn't make the game any better. You know,

1920
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: when people can't buy jerseys of their favorite players because

1921
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 1: they don't know if they're going to play out there,

1922
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 1: even their contract that they signed with the team, I

1923
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: don't think that that boats well for the future of

1924
01:47:14,400 --> 01:47:18,440
Speaker 1: the sport. I'm gonna give you some Damian Lillard freestyle

1925
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: rap lyrics around the corner here, which we'll have some

1926
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 1: fun with you freestyle. I'm out, Brian, no rap freesty.

1927
01:47:24,840 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: You don't want to hear that at all. You know,

1928
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: Fish's band is better than me freestyle, And I feel

1929
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,559
Speaker 1: like that's the smoothest transition to one Isaac Loencron, who

1930
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 1: is fanning out for Fish over there. I love what

1931
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,639
Speaker 1: the latest? What's going on? Buddy? Coming up? We actually

1932
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 1: do have a Fish update just for the three of you.

1933
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 1: That's coming Marlins update or an actual fish like fish

1934
01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:53,840
Speaker 1: with the common spelling phi s H. But we start

1935
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,400
Speaker 1: though with Round three of the Masters. It's teeing off

1936
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 1: right now after the completed round two earlier this morning.

1937
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:01,600
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods may the cut at the Masters for the

1938
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:05,200
Speaker 1: twenty third consecutive year. He finished round two right at

1939
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: the plus three cut line. Brooks Kepka ended the second

1940
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 1: round with a two shot lead at twelve under John

1941
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 1: rom bogeying the eighteenth hole to end his second round

1942
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: at ten under par overall. In the NFL, interesting words

1943
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 1: overnight from New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who

1944
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 1: was appearing on stage at a live event with Boomer

1945
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: asiasin take this for what you will, Rogers, He's gonna

1946
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: be again, Take that for what you will. In the

1947
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: NBA on Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers defeat of

1948
01:48:46,560 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns one twenty one to one oh seven,

1949
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 1: keeping their hopes of avoiding the play in tournament alive,

1950
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 1: while Chicago one at Dallas one fifteen to one twelve,

1951
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: eliminating the Mavericks and clinching a play in spot for

1952
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Almas City Thunder. Finally, here's the music update

1953
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:06,320
Speaker 1: for you, guys. I'm reading this directly off the wire.

1954
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 1: Flox Sports radio anchor Isaac Loencron has officially retracted as

1955
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: earlier statement that Fish was a good band. Oh A

1956
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 1: great song that Loencron thought was by Fish was actually

1957
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:25,639
Speaker 1: by blur Isaac Loan. Wow, Isaac Locron regrets the error

1958
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 1: back to you. So you you hated me for a

1959
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: good fifteen minutes until you googled it and you're like, oh,

1960
01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:35,679
Speaker 1: actually no, I'm with no one. This one fish thinks

1961
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 1: it was a good thirty minutes that I hated you,

1962
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 1: and I only hated you for thirty minutes because it's

1963
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: so much fun and so endearing. Yeah, well, I'm glad

1964
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 1: you set the record straight right there. That's fantastic. I

1965
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,240
Speaker 1: was hoping for the deathcage match and now we're not

1966
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 1: going to get him canceled. Guys, I think both of

1967
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 1: us would tap out at the same time when we

1968
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,760
Speaker 1: heard the bell. Yeah, there's nothing as unattractive as two

1969
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: sports media members fighting. And by the way, I'll bet

1970
01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: all of us have stories of sports media members getting

1971
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 1: into quote unquote physical confrontations. I r L before everyone

1972
01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 1: started hiding behind social media. Yeah, no doubt about it. Hey,

1973
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: it's Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. So

1974
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 1: now we get to a freestyle rap lyrics that portion

1975
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: of the show. Over here, we're mentioning the possibility the

1976
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,639
Speaker 1: fear that the Dallas Mavericks have that Luca don Chich

1977
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 1: could request a trade after the following season, and we

1978
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,920
Speaker 1: were just talking about superstars and how there's so much

1979
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:43,639
Speaker 1: movement in the NBA, yet somehow Damian Lillard stays put

1980
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: in Portland for a long time. So he had a

1981
01:50:45,479 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 1: freestyle rap this week, very nicely done. Did it to

1982
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,560
Speaker 1: a Meek Mill song Heaven or Hell? That was the

1983
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,559
Speaker 1: beat in the background. But this one little portion stood

1984
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 1: out to me. He's talking about ring chasing, okay, and

1985
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 1: so the lyric is plotting on a ring. They say,

1986
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 1: I should do the Lakers. F that loyal stuff. What

1987
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 1: if Reggie just left the Pacers? Okay, So that's what

1988
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:13,439
Speaker 1: he's saying, is what if Reggie left there. Here's the

1989
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:16,879
Speaker 1: thing that I find interesting. There are four different roads

1990
01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:21,560
Speaker 1: here for other NBA players, and Dame is gonna be

1991
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:25,600
Speaker 1: on one of these four roads. Okay. Ideally it's the

1992
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:29,400
Speaker 1: Dirk Navitsky road, where you stay with one organization the

1993
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,440
Speaker 1: whole time. Dame would want that and win a championship.

1994
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:37,479
Speaker 1: That's ideal. Now it gets interesting. There's the Reggie Miller path.

1995
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:40,320
Speaker 1: He just shouted out, Reggie, stay with one organization the

1996
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: whole time. You never win a championship. There's the KG

1997
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: road Kevin Garnett, he was with Minnesota for a long time, leaves,

1998
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:52,640
Speaker 1: goes to Boston, wins a championship, adored in both markets. Right,

1999
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good road. Then there's the Karl Malone road,

2000
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 1: we'll call it. Was with Utah for a long long time.

2001
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 1: Ring Chase goes to the Lakers, gets close, doesn't win

2002
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,599
Speaker 1: a ring. So it's gonna play out one of those

2003
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: four roads. Four Dame. Ideally it's Dirk, But if it's

2004
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:14,240
Speaker 1: any of the remaining three, what do you think is best? Right?

2005
01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: Is it? And he might look at this differently. I

2006
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: think it's KG for sure, but he might look at

2007
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 1: staying and doing the Reggie path being loyal one organization.

2008
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 1: You came close, but you're synonymous with that organization. I

2009
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: wonder if he looks at that as being better than

2010
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 1: leaving and winning a ring elsewhere. Like Kevin Garnett, I

2011
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. Well, you know, I mean,

2012
01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: obviously whatever's best for the player and helps him sleep

2013
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 1: at night is what I hope for, because regret is

2014
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 1: one of the worst things to experience in life. Right,

2015
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: look him back on something and saying shoulda, could have wouda.

2016
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 1: So I hope that whatever decision he makes, he's good

2017
01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:53,599
Speaker 1: with it, and I mean now and into the future.

2018
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:56,680
Speaker 1: And that's very difficult to have that perspective while you're

2019
01:52:56,680 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 1: still playing. But hopefully it's the case whatever decisions. And

2020
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: also you gotta remember opportunity is important too. He's not cheap,

2021
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, Dame's got one of the I mean, they

2022
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 1: call him Dame Dollar for a reason. It's not just

2023
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,720
Speaker 1: because he's a great rapper. Yeah, you know, I mean,

2024
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 1: this is one of the highest paid players in the

2025
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 1: league right now, and you know, it's gonna be difficult

2026
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,560
Speaker 1: to onboard that salary for a lot of teams. So

2027
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:24,800
Speaker 1: it limits it limits the U the range of team

2028
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 1: that that will be willing to do a deal. I

2029
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I look at it. You know, if

2030
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant jump ship on on Oklahoma City I never

2031
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:40,479
Speaker 1: won a championship, we would probably be talking about Kevin

2032
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: Durant very differently now than we currently do. Yeah, you know,

2033
01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:47,599
Speaker 1: it's you know, you can you can stain your legacy

2034
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:51,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly by chasing rings and and there. It's also

2035
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 1: a little bit you know, it's I wouldn't say it's

2036
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: a look down on anymore, but there still is that

2037
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,920
Speaker 1: stigma attached to it. So maybe that's something that that

2038
01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard's also looking to avoid being stigmatized. Well, here's

2039
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:10,679
Speaker 1: the difference between Reggie Miller with the Pacers and Damian

2040
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: Lillard with the Blazers. On that Reggie Miller Pacers team,

2041
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:18,680
Speaker 1: that the Great Pacers teams, you had Jalen Rose, you

2042
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:21,839
Speaker 1: had Chris Paullen, you had Antonio Davis, you had Rick Smiths,

2043
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 1: you had Dale Davis, Mark Jackson. I mean, you had

2044
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:28,479
Speaker 1: guys that are borderline Hall of famers, I think Mark Jo.

2045
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if any competitive yeah, all star type players.

2046
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:37,600
Speaker 1: So here's the Blazers depth chart with the Dame, Lillard,

2047
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Simon, Shaden, Sharp, Matisse Stybel, Jeremy Grant, use of Nurkic.

2048
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean there's a difference there, Guys. The Blazers have

2049
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:50,720
Speaker 1: no chance to compete with or without Dame. They are

2050
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:53,880
Speaker 1: not a team that is going to compete. If they

2051
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 1: have Dame, they have a chance to compete if they

2052
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:58,720
Speaker 1: can bring in guys on the caliber that I just

2053
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Jalen Roe. This is a Chris Mullins and Antonio Davis.

2054
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but if they don't, you're kind of wasting

2055
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:08,800
Speaker 1: the prime years of your career here in Portland. And

2056
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 1: I agree that there is a loyalty to staying and

2057
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 1: sticking things out that will gain him respect at the

2058
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 1: end of the day. But what's more important to you?

2059
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 1: And that's only a personal question that Damian and other

2060
01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,000
Speaker 1: players across the league can answer. We've seen guys like

2061
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant show you what's important to them. They want

2062
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:30,640
Speaker 1: to go chase the ring, and that's what they've done.

2063
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 1: I respect Damian Lillard for sticking it out, and if

2064
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 1: he stays true to those words, good for him. But

2065
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 1: if I was in his shoes, I wouldn't make that decision.

2066
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 1: I'd go chase the ring. Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

2067
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:46,400
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is that sometimes we get it twisted

2068
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:49,680
Speaker 1: where what we would want in that position is what

2069
01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 1: Dame should want, right like, I think sometimes we confuse

2070
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 1: those two things. I think there's a difference between it

2071
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 1: comes down to being to yourself and also being true

2072
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: to your legacy. Where some look at it and say

2073
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be true to myself. I want to remain

2074
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: in Portland. That's what Dame's saying right now. He's not

2075
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 1: looking at it as much as legacy. There are other

2076
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,640
Speaker 1: players that say, being true to my legacy is actually

2077
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 1: being true to myself. It can be looked at very,

2078
01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 1: very differently. I just hope he doesn't look back on

2079
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 1: it and regret it. If he stays with Portland and

2080
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:25,120
Speaker 1: you rattled off the roster and you're battling for like

2081
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: the seventh spot in the West in the play in

2082
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 1: and I don't I hope he doesn't look back and say, yeah,

2083
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 1: maybe I should have done it differently, But I respect

2084
01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 1: him for being loyal. All right, We've got Rich Ornberger,

2110
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:19,080
Speaker 1: MAVs lose and they are eliminated from the playoffs. That

2111
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:21,280

Speaker 1: four season is going to be more important than anything

2117
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,000
Speaker 1: that could have even happened in the postseason really if

2118
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:43,720
Speaker 1: you think about it, because I don't think they would

2139
01:59:55,440 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: the wager using bonus funds that expired already. So our

2140
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:04,640

2141
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 1: the bonus and place bets within that time frame. So

2142

Speaker 1: Jimmy Young went to Twitter belly aching about it, and

2143
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 1: there's an update. Jimmy Young wrote that Bovada has reached

2144
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 1: out and it looks like this was a customer service error.

2145
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:23,640
Speaker 1: My bet has been paid in fold, thanks again to
