40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,760

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,760

00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,719

116
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: Dickie Love Lady. You may lose something, but we have

117
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Dickey Love Lady. Always gotta have.

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: A consolation prize, and there's there's far worse to be had.

119
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Uh Now, obviously a big headline today following Game seven

120
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals, Yoklahoma City thun to win, and

121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: we get confirmation of the news that we thought was

122
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: happening yesterday during the game, because you know, ESPN showed

123
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: the replay five hundred thousand times, just in case case

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell. Here's Tyres Halliburton blowing his achilles. Case

125
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: you missed the first five. Yeah, you see it right there. Yeah, Okay,

126
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you got it. God has got it.

127
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: But to their credit, I mean, they recognize that people

128
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 5: suddenly realized that Game seven was being played.

129
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, if they're gonna trumpet all.

130
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 5: Of those viewers, yeah, they're always tuning in, the audience

131
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: continues to change after time out.

132
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 4: Hey, in case you missed it, this is where we

133
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 4: stand now.

134
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this because I generally, I generally don't

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: feel that when a guy is injured, you look at

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: a game and say, Okay, this game would have gone differently,

137
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: This game could have done this way because obviously Halliburton

138
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: getting hurt in the first half, the Thunder go on

139
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: to win. And the big question, obviously the first one

140
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: is Okay, if Halliburton hadn't gotten hurt, right, if Halliburton

141
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: played able to play the whole game, is it a

142
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: different outcome yesterday? And generally when cometimes, I say, well,

143
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because this is what happened, and the

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: Thunder one and they do. But I look at that

145
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: game yesterday. I was just so unimpressed with the thunder

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: closing this game the way they did in game set.

147
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: It was one of the worst game set. I don't

148
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: know what team has won a Game seven with the

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: worst performance than the Thunderhead. They shot poorly, they they

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: didn't They didn't really look really sharp offensively at all.

151
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: SGA had a horrible game shooting, almost like the nerves

152
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: got to them. They tried to close out Game six,

153
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: didn't have it, tried to close out game seven. It

154
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: just so happened that the Pacers are playing a game. Now, Okay,

155
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: now you've taken one of our top two best players

156
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: and a guy who's gonna have the ball the majority

157
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: of the time away. What's going to happen. This should

158
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: have been a game where when Halliburton goes out, it

159
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: should have been a ten point lead at halftime. For

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, it should have been a twenty five point lead,

161
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: and it should have been middle of the fourth quarter.

162
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's telling at each other on the bench, and reserves

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: are hitting three. But they were just so unimpressive. And

164
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: this is the worst part for the for the Pacers

165
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: because they have to see that and go, man, if

166
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: he didn't get hurt, what would happened. I'll tell you.

167
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: If Halliburton stays in the game, the Pacers win, the

168
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: Pacers of the World Champions. Because that game was going

169
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: a very PACER's way, right. You were at halftime still

170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: even without Halliburton. At the end, it's a one point

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: game and the Pacers had the lead. The Pacers, this

172
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: is kind of what they did the entire playoff. No

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: matter what happened, they are always able to stay close

174
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: enough to reel you in before they could they could

175
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: get at you in the third and fourth quarter, right,

176
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: because that's really what the Pacers would always do, right,

177
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: Their pace would get to you. The Stars would tire

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and by the time you got

179
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: to middle third, fourth quarter, guys are a little bit

180
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: more open for their threes, a little bit more. Offenses

181
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: flowing a little bit more, And we've seen that the

182
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: entire playoff. That's what would have happened if Halliburton hadn't

183
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: gotten it. Yes, you had a big night from from

184
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: Madarin off the bench. Of course we've seen that big

185
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: from McConnell off the bench, but it's a different flow

186
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: to the offense when Halliburton is running things in his

187
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: helter skelter way and being able to get in and

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: come back out and find players. This game was going

189
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the PACER's way. They were keeping it close, they were

190
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: playing their pace, they were imparting there well. On the game.

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: They started out shooting threes pretty well. They wind up

192
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: not being able to hit anything in the second half,

193
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: but this game was really going the Pacers way. And

194
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: then at halftime, Okay, the Thunder come out in the

195
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: third with a big run but at this point, it was,

196
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: all right, what are the Pacers really going to do?

197
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: We know that you're limited, and without this happening, we

198
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: know you're not going to hit your threes. We know

199
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna you know, as good a player as

200
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: McConnell is, he's not going to be someone who finds

201
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: finds players wide open shots like Halliburton does. That's not

202
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: going that's not going to be a part of what

203
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: this offense is in the second half. So yeah, in

204
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter, they go out and Okay, they're up big,

205
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: and then the Pacers come back and they make it

206
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: a close game midway through the fourth quarter. I mean,

207
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm watching this, I'm saying, if Halliburton's here, this game

208
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: goes a different way. And as the second half goes on,

209
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: the game would start tilting towards the Pacers and their

210
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: pace of play, and you would see the Thunder getting

211
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: tired and suddenly it's a big question mark and a

212
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: little bit of choking going on. Hey, we're not closing

213
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: out this game at home. We have the best home

214
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: court advantage in the NBA. SGA is not making shots.

215
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: This game would have gone the Pacers. We'd be talking

216
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: about the most improbable NBA championship that we've seen, probably

217
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: since the Pistons beat the Lakers back in two thousand

218
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: and three. Like that two thousand and four too soon?

219
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, man, sorry, this would be talking about that

220
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: if Halliburton didn't get hurt. That's how that game was

221
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: going to day.

222
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: No, that's it watching that game unfold, and certainly something

223
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 5: we talked about a lot with Haliburton and the injury

224
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: and thresholds for pain discomfort and how serious it was

225
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: in terms of minutes played and how he looked going

226
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: back to game six and he comes out like a

227
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 5: house of fire and nails three three point shots very early.

228
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 5: The running joke in the Twitter verse immediately was like, wow,

229
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 5: he's already cashed the over for all the people with

230
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: their three point prop bets. McConnell great at getting his

231
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: own shot, not a great distributor.

232
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: For the game.

233
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: Nemhard is your leader with six assists, so not a

234
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 5: lot of moving the ball around to the open man

235
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 5: once Haliburton's out of the game, so certainly it bogs

236
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: down there. For the thunderside of things, Yeah, he shot

237
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: forty percent, So Indiana's defense did his job, missing a

238
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: number of wide open looks. I can't tell you the

239
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 5: number of times you're throwing your hands up going he's

240
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: standing by himself. He's basically he could pull out any

241
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: type of scientific implement to calculate angles, and he's still

242
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: missing the shot. That's how much space you had. Lou

243
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 5: Dort the most accounted for participant in that regard, but

244
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 5: all of it to say, right, Chet Holmgren finally played

245
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: a big game for them, came up with a number

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: of blocks, defensive stops, but it did feel like the

247
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: game was still there to be had if you could

248
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: have made one stop here. He kept Sga off the

249
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: foul file stripe, right. He got to the line twelve

250
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: times over the course of the game, and that's where

251
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 5: he imparted.

252
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: Part of your prediction did come true, and that he

253
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: lived at the pre throw.

254
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: Line at times. But for Indiana and for Carlisle, there

255
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 5: are only so many strings he could pull. Once Aliburton

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 5: went down, you got big efforts from McConnell. I mean,

257
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 5: Alex Crusoe had to be stopped in the interview, Hey

258
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 5: how do you stop TJ mcconnoy. Did you ever think

259
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 5: you'd get that question, Yeah, how do you stop TJ?

260
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: How do you stop TJ? McConnell ye, and the lookout

261
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: of fans like wow, okay, and Matherin showed up in

262
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: a big way. He'd had seventeen points combined his prior

263
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 5: three games, right, So all of that that, you got

264
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 5: that effort, but in the end, it's just not enough,

265
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 5: and Oklahoma City walks away with the title. And it's

266
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: funny because all throughout the playoffs through the regular season

267
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 5: it became a Wow, look at the They've got the

268
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 5: blueprint and all this, and now we're watching them walk

269
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 5: away with the title, going I'm not impressed. And we

270
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: watched a lot of their games, right, so like they

271
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 5: were on a lot and we got a lot of windows.

272
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: But you come away going, wow, they had a lot

273
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: of issues that could have been exploited if you had

274
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 5: your playmate.

275
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, And that's added heartbreak. If Halliburton was

276
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: healthy and he played a regular game. Yet we're talking

277
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: about the Pacers being the champions that it would have

278
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: happened that way.

279
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 5: I just wanted to see what kind of defensive structure

280
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: Carlisle would have had for the fourth if you had

281
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 5: all five of his normal.

00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: line on that game? I want Dodgers run line. I

337
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: don't really care who. How they packed it together anyway.

338
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Well, Frostburg will see what he can do on that,

339
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: since he's waiting for the Dodgers too. Uh No, But

340
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, so, so you want to

341
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: bet Frostburg cash with Trevor Rodgers Earlier? He said, so

342
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: he's good?

343
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: Oh good for him?

344
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well done. Uh Now, I saw want to bet

345
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: you actually have your first bet of the nfls you

346
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: had their first week one bet? Ready to go for

347
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Week one?

348
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: What is it? I made it over the weekend. I

349
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: grabbed uh the Cardinals laying four and a half at

350
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: New Orleans and this thing opened at three and some

351
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: places already have it at six. And I think once

352
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: we see the atrocity is too strong a word, but

353
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: I'll use it anyway. That is the Saints quarterback situation,

354
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: and as they have to start, you know, showing what

355
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: they have and don't have through the course of the preseason.

356
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: I just don't think that that four and a half

357
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: is going to do the trick. I think the Saints

358
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: of the worst team in football. I think the Saints

359
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: don't really have much of a strength from a roster standpoint.

360
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: It's a coach who may or may not be ready

361
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: for this. It's a GM who's really left that thing

362
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 3: rot with no real checks and balances from ownership. And

363
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: I'm not a big Kyler Murray guy, and I don't

364
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: like to back Kyler Murray as a favorite. But again,

365
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: I think the number I'm getting here by the time

366
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: we get the opening day will look pretty damn good.

367
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: And that's a Saints team that you go back to

368
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two and look at the Saints at home

369
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: outside the division. The only teams worse against the spread

370
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: Atlanta and the Patriots, so the third worst team in

371
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: those situations. And Kyler Murray week one has been damn good.

372
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: Ted touchdowns, three interceptions, seven yards per rush. You know,

373
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 3: he usually comes out shot out of the cannon. The

374
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: problem is, want to get some bumps and bruises around

375
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 3: Week eight, week nine, That whole thing tends to crumble.

376
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 3: But I think Arizona's defense will be you know, adequate.

377
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: Their they're fringy ish playoff team for me. And again,

378
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: I think the Saints are there with the Browns as

379
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: the worst team in football.

380
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 4: There you going week one firing already.

381
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: The Saints are the worst team in football. Last year,

382
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: right before and then they beat the Cowboys. They was like, oh,

383
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: look good the Saints remember that.

384
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: Wow, it's a lifetime ago, isn't it.

385
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: No, Chickens came home the ruse pretty quickly, but they

386
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: did have They were fun for a couple of weeks

387
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: in September.

388
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: That's true.

389
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm looking at the rest of the Week

390
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: one slate. Now you got me salivating because that Steelers

391
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 5: Jets game. You're looking at a two and a half

392
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: or three point spread there, Jason Jet getting points.

393
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: Our buddy Eric Tacilius is on that one, and he

394
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: likes the under in that game, specifically Jet under the

395
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: team total, and I get that as well. I mean,

396
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: Tomlin's defenses usually start the season pretty well.

397
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: I think taking the Jets in the I think taking

398
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: the under in Jets games the whole season is going

399
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: to be a thing, Like, I think you can run

400
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: that every week. Jay taking the under in Jets games,

401
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a week one.

402
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm doing Tomlin on the road as a

403
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: dog or as a small favorite. You can just play

404
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 3: that money line and you'll do pretty well. And he

405
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: obviously knows fields incredibly well. And I think they'll get

406
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: this Watt thing taken care of and whatever Aaron Rodgers has.

407
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: I guess we'll see the best of it there. So yeah,

408
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: there were like four games that kind of stood out

409
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: to me, and those were two of them.

410
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, if nothing else, we know that Rogers doesn't think

411
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: much of the Jets in their run game.

412
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: I guess you shouldn't because it completely went reverse once

413
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: he got there, so he probably, Yeah, I guess you shouldn't.

414
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guest The Jason Smith Show with

415
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,

416
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: so Jays, as we get here now and we're getting

417
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: set now, teams are going away sign and see what

418
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: they have before we start camp. There's some big unsigned

419
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: players that we're still waiting to see drop. We've heard

420
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: rumors of guys like Amari Cooper and other players, like

421
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: do you see anything happening in the next few weeks

422
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: as far as Hey, some of these free agents that

423
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: we expected to have jobs, big names could wind up

424
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: signing somewhere. They're gonna have to wait to left the

425
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: camp starts.

426
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: I think some it'll probably be really close to camp

427
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: at this point. Like I mean a lot of people

428
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: this is their only time of year to actually spend

429
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: time with their family and have a couple of weeks

430
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 3: at the beach and all that. So not that you

431
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: can't make a phone call here and there, but it's

432
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: not real pressing, I think as we get closer to

433
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: teams reporting. But yeah, I mean there's interesting names out

434
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 3: there for sure. I mean Simmons, uh, you know, Zadarius Smith,

435
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: Matt Judon, you know those are some guys you know

436
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball who you know,

437
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: I think will certainly be playing football somewhere this year.

438
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: Jadaveon Clowney, Right, I mean, if you really dig in

439
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: on his numbers, like he did not have a horrible

440
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 3: season by any stretch of the imagination of a Panthers

441
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: team that you know, doesn't really play to his strength.

442
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: He's a bit of a front runner, right him on

443
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: a team that was underachieving even by those their lowly

444
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: standards early in the year and the quarterback change and

445
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: all that. But you look at his past rush win rate,

446
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: you know, you look at his percentage of pressures per

447
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: pass rush, you look at you know, some of his metrics.

448
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: They they were wasn't what he did the year before

449
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: in Baltimore, probably his best season ever. But like that,

450
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 3: he ended up back with the Ravens. I mean, I

451
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: I don't think that's out of the question. So, yeah,

452
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 3: there's there's some there's some interesting guys out there, but

453
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: this is kind of the duldrums right now.

454
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: Jason.

455
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 5: Let's go to the fun and exciting world of the

456
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 5: AFC South, go to Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson is saying his

457
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: shoulder injury isn't even a bump in the road, but

458
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones just might be. What do we think about

459
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: that'll set up?

460
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: I just don't truck the durability of either of those guys,

461
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, they played the game one way

462
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 3: and it hasn't worked out real great for them. Leslie Richardson,

463
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 3: who's missed more time than he's played. I do think

464
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: their defense could be interesting, your quasi interesting. I guess

465
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: this is Chris Baward's last hand. It certainly should be.

466
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: I think Daniel Jones is gonna end up being the

467
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: guy now does that guarantee much?

468
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 5: Know?

469
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: Because we know that his play can oscillate pretty wildly

470
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: and generally tends to be not great. So I'm sure

471
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: they'll get a look see, you know, both of these guys.

472
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if Daniel Jones doesn't find a way

473
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: to go in there week one. It's just such a

474
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: bad division. Like I, I don't think the Texans are

475
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: the juggernaut that people make them out to be by

476
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 3: any stretchack figure they win that division. I kind of

477
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: like the Colts to finish second, because again, I think

478
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: the defense could be interesting and keep them in some games.

479
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: Jacksonville defense was such a train wreck. I don't think

480
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: that coaching staff is fixing it overnight. I think the

481
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 3: quarterback is what he is. The Tennessee might take some

482
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: baby steps, but they've obviously got a huge hole to

483
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: crawl out of. So I mean, I could see the

484
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 3: Colts being the second best team in this division, but

485
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to be worth a whole lot.

486
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: Jay let's stay in the AFC. The Shador Sanders situation

487
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: last week, the two traffic violations that came out. The

488
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: Browns really didn't have a comment on it. Big deal

489
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: for him, you know these two things that happened. Or

490
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: will this be Hey, they we'll hit reset when camp starts.

491
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 3: Well, look everything with him, it's different, right, I mean,

492
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 3: it's a big deal. His fall in the draft was

493
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: as big of a deal as I can remember, Like

494
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: a story like that dominating all three days in the draft.

495
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: It just doesn't really happen. Everything about his dad is outsized,

496
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: so now everything about his last name is outside so

497
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: it's not going to be normal. Nothing about that quarterback

498
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: competition and the four or five headed monster that it

499
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: is is going to be normal. I don't think it's

500
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 3: going to like Linger. I don't think people rough preseason

501
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: are going to be like, oh, let's because of the

502
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: traffic stuff. I just don't, you know, I don't think

503
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: there's going to be a corollary or draw there. It

504
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 3: doesn't mean some people won't try to draw it. But

505
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean he's a young person, you know, and he's

506
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: in limelight, and people tend to slip up for one

507
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: degree or another. I think if he's given a chance,

508
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: if that becomes or is something of a fair fight,

509
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: then again, I don't know that he's not the next

510
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: guy up after Flacco and after that runs its course,

511
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: however quickly that is. And guy I hope man. I

512
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 3: hope he's got some sort of polymer or like Michel

513
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: and manned stuff wrapped around him, underneath the pads or

514
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 3: on top of the pads, because I think he's going

515
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: to take a beating. But yeah, I mean, I don't

516
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: know how they're going to divy up all their reps.

517
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: I don't know how everybody's going to get enough work.

518
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: They're going to have to different days. You know, it's

519
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 3: going to have to be one guy getting the cheft

520
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: a little bit. How much do they think black on

521
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: the you know, needs to run stuff like he's been

522
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: there before. But you know that's like two play callers ago,

523
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 3: so how much of that is still there? I mean,

524
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 3: it's the Fancy's offense. So I mean I wonder if

525
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: at a certain point you have to kind of just say, internally,

526
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: if not externally, flackos our guy. He doesn't need a

527
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: ton of reps, right, He's been really good coming in

528
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: cold as a backup for years. Like let's let's, you know,

529
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 3: give these developmental reps and these evaluation reps to these

530
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: kids so we can figure out our pecking order and

531
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: get somebody out of here or maybe two guys out

532
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: of there, and then you know, put our football team together.

533
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 5: End with going back to Jason's Jets thirteen eleven and fourteen.

534
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: That was Crystal Palace's record.

535
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 5: Well, Woody Johnson's attention to Crystal Palace allow the Jets

536
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 5: to thrive.

537
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I'm trying to what was their record

538
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: when he was in London.

539
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: I'm trying. It's not been over a decade.

540
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: I don't think it was great. Yeah, I just feel

541
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 3: sorry for supporters of Palace really that's like, you know

542
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like we've got to send tentacles out

543
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: all over the world for Woody Johnson crushing fan bases

544
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: Like that's a shame. That's that's that's too bad. Yeah,

545
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, keep them away from center bacha basketball

546
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: or whatever. I don't know.

547
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on Twitter at Jason Locking for that is

548
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: at Jason Lock and for Wanta Bed as well. Hey, Frostburg,

549
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: frost will give you whatever update you need on the Dodgers.

550
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: Jayson just just.

551
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm checking all these books. Somebody give me a line

552
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: before I go to sleep if you want to hit that.

553
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: Now Frostburgardy said they're up five to nothing. Again. Information

554
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: from Frostburg on the Dodgers. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not.

555
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: Just so tomorrow I'll take it.

556
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, very good, take it easy, Jay. No,

557
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: the Dodgers do not play till no, it is an

558
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: off day after a very long Would they have twenty

559
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: three games in twenty four days or.

560
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: Something like that, Yeah, which is why we kept seeing

561
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: Keith Aarnanda's pitch and everybody here in Los Angeles. It's

562
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 5: the worst thing that's ever been done in the history

563
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 5: of the sport.

564
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: You know who did play today?

565
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: Though?

566
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: Who's at the mats and loss?

567
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay, it's all right. Are you ever gonna

00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: beat the Braves? Hey?

569
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 3: Did?

570
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Don't you win in your beat the streak? Well, it's

571
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: funny you say that, okay, because all right, I'm invested.

572
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: I need I need to say yes, we have okay,

573
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: you want the good Tani no, no, no, no good.

574
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: Good news is dad took a we got a four

575
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: game streak in the MLB street all right. Because he

576
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: said to me, because it's my turn to pick today,

577
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: said who do you want? And I said Aaron Judge

578
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: Judge Homer's in the first inning. And I was like, goes, wow,

579
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: great pick. I go, well, my pick was only Aaron

580
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: Judge because if he didn't get a hit, I could

581
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: blame you. He said that tracks. But we should be

582
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: we should be at six, but we're not. We're at

583
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: four because remember I told you the first one last

584
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: week when he put in for Andy, Pa has yeah,

585
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,800

Speaker 1: have him the next day instead like how did you

587
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: not put him in the game is in an hour?

588
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: How did you miss putting him? In so we didn't like.

589
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: All right, great, So the next pick, you know that,

590
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: I picked Otani. Okay, great. He picked Ellie de la Cruz. Awesome,

591
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: all right, great Ellie Elie de la Cruz gets a

592
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,080

00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: Cruz for tomorrow. I go no, So we didn't get

596
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: it there, but he got a hit in the next one,

597
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: so we're okay. And now he's hell's he doing? Hey,

598
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: who's your pick today? And I said, gim me judge

599
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: for today. Okay. So now we're at four, we could

600
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: be at six. Do you start by asking him what

601
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: day of the week it is when your conversation? This

602
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: is what This is what I said to him. I said, Dad, okay,

603
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: so it's the MLB dot Com the streak thing. If

604
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: you pick someone to get a hit every day, fifty

605
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: seven days in a row, fifty seven games in a row,

606
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: you win five point six million dollars. And I said, Dad,

607
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing I can tell you this is that

608
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: the contest could be just for you, Jason and your Dad,

609
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: just get a pick in every day for fifty seven

610
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: days in a row.

611
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: Doesn't have to get a hit, doesn't have to get

612
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: a hit.

613
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: Just get a pick in fifty seven days in a row. Okay,

614
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: we're five days into this already. We would have failed

615
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: back twice, okay twice, we would have failed back Dad,

616
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: we got five and a half million dollars. All you

617
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: gotta do is get a pick it twice. He doesn't

Speaker 1: Other people and my friends that have done this called

633
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, you can do two picks a day, and

634
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: I go, you see where we're at. Let's work up

635
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: to two picks. Yeah, but get one pick in for

636
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: one day at a pretty consecutive consistent then we'll work

637
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: on two picks for a day. An then we'll do that.

638
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's just let's just worry about getting one

639
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: pick in per day because we're failing at that.

640
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: Long road begins with that first step. Yeah, let's go.

00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: been called the Walt Smith of Fox Sports Radio. I

648
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: tell him something involving baseball. He forgets too. It's Steve

649
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: the Seger.

650
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 8: I enjoyed that story. I mentally, just the record, I

651
00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 8: get it.

652
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: Hey, you just get the picks, not once, but twice.

653
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: We've already lost. Don't get him started.

654
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 8: On All Star voting. You can do that five times.

655
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: No, no, no, so talking on. See, we've got to work.

656
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: Up too far man, too far by the way.

657
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 8: In Cincinnati tonight, La de la Cruz three hits, three RBIs,

658
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 8: including a homer. The Reds beat the Yankees six to one.

659
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 8: But yes, the one was an Aaron Judge home run,

660
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 8: his twenty eighth of the year. You want home runs

661
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 8: and streaks, cal Raley hit his thirty second home run

662
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 8: of the season Seattle one at Minnesota in the game

663
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 8: on FS one today eleven to the final. The Twins

664
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 8: have lost four in a row. Cal Rally has four

665
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 8: straight games with a home run for the first time

666
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 8: in career. It's six homers his last six games total.

667
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 8: They got the win here and now it's time to

668
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 8: take a look at the fact that Johnny Bench had

669
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 8: the record most home runs before All Star Break by

670
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 8: a guy who's primarily a catcher nineteen seventy. Bench had

671
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 8: twenty eight playing over half a season. Cal Rally, in

672
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 8: under half a season, has thirty two at this point

673
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 8: looking at head, most home runs ever by a switch

674
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 8: hitter for a season is fifty four by Mickey Mantle

675
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty one.

676
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: This I think he can s a second, he can

677
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: set most home runs by a catcher all time. Just

678
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: what he's doing this season. You mean he might get

679
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: to like four hundred and twelve. He hits a home

680
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 1: run every day.

681
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: I mean it.

682
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: Last year was Anthony Santander, right, pretty much hit a

683
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: home run every day. Cal Rowly is hitting a home

684
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: run every day.

685
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 8: So you mean that he's gonna double the home run

686
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 8: total on the second half of the same compared to.

687
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Four hundred and fifty home runs, and the Mariners will

688
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: still just miss the playoffs.

689
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: They started multiplying Steed like Rock and Jock.

690
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 8: You know what's gonna happen. He'll get in the home

691
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 8: run contest. That'll be it. He'll have ten home runs

692
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 8: in the second half, and that's all anybody will talk about.

693
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 8: Jason loves the home run contest. Pittsburgh winner at Milwaukee

694
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 8: five four, ending the Brewers' four game winning streak. Saint

695
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 8: Louis over the Cubs eight to two. By the way

696
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 8: Cubs pitchers showed to him and after a strain hamsterring,

697
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 8: we'll rejoin the rotation. Thursday, Arizona won ten nothing at

698
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 8: the White Sox, but Arizona slugger a u Hennio Suarez

699
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 8: left hit by a pitch on the hand. X rays

700
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 8: were negative. He just won NL Player of the Week

701
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 8: for a third time this year. It was Atlanta three

702
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 8: to two over the Mets. The wind to Spencer Schwell

703
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 8: in box seven innings of work, Baltimore's Trevor Rodgers eight

704
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 8: innings of pitching as the Orioles shut out Texas six nothing.

705
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 8: Jackson Holiday three hits, three RBIs the starting pitcher for

706
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 8: Boston tonight in Anaheim is ex Dodger Walker Buehler. He

707
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 8: allowed five runs in the first to the Angels, including

708
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 8: a couple of bases loaded walks and the bases loaded

709
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 8: hit batter. It is the Angels five to three over Boston.

710
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 8: In the top of the fourth, Bueller is still in there.

711
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: The National is not doing well. If he's goal is

712
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: to get back to the Dodgers at the trade deadline.

713
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 8: No, they're still calling Bueller Washington. With four runs top

714
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: of the fourth, it's now a four to one lead

715
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 8: at San Diego. In the bottom of the fourth, Toronto's

716
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 8: vladimiric Irrera Junior now leads the All Star voting at

717
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 8: first base ahead of the Yankees Paul Goldschmid in the

718
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 8: American League. Pacers guard Tyrese Halliburton is reportedly having surgery

719
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 8: tonight for his torn achilles from last night. He could

720
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 8: miss next season. And yes, Oklahoma City's Game seven drew

721
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 8: amazing ratings. Guys, the series had been averaging about nine

722
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 8: million viewers, largest NBA audience last night since the twenty

723
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 8: nineteen Finals over sixteen mil. In fact, over the past year,

724
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 8: the top non football events are the World Series clincher

725
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 8: Dodgers Yankees last year and the March Madness Final. We're

726
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 8: about eighteen million viewers each Kentucky Derby seventeen million. This

727
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: was up close to that. Very impressive, especially considering again

728
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 8: how low the first six games were.

729
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,880

Speaker 1: the play of the day and the real takeaway, the

732
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: real thing to know about. Why Game seven's ratings were

733
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: so much higher, the highest Game seven in year years.

734
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: Why this blew out the ratings the rest of the

735
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: series because Nicks, We're I'm playing No, dude, that would

736
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: be a ratings record.

737
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,560

00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,800

759
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: That kid that made that really great play out there

760
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: in the outfield is faking to throw back.

761
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: The fans call on him to keep that baseball. Yeah yeah,

762
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: Brains Radio Network on the call.

763
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: Hope, it's not a strategy.

764
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: Smith, they're not playing that shit. No, it's not happening.

765
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: They're not.

766
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 5: I got the full chance and bounce going. It almost

767
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 5: lines up well with the MLS game we're watching.

768
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 4: Like good terms of the bounce.

769
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what, Hey, Luis Suarez was gonna be

770
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: the play of the day. But now Miami was up

771
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: to nothing and now it's tied two to two.

772
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 4: Two going into the ninetyeth minute.

773
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: They've given up two goals in the least ten minutes

774
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: to tie the game.

775
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 5: This is where we need the lip reading accounts to

776
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: really get after what Messi had to say. Yeah, no,

777
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 5: Messi not Jason. Let's be honest. The Braves do own

778
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 5: City Field. Well right right now, they've beating the Mets.

779
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: For the Braves are staying in their season because they've

780
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: been able to beat the Mets the last two times

781
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: they've played. I'm not happy, but okay, it's still June.

782
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: It's all right.

783
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 5: Ronald Lecunya Junior has one hundred and wanted bats on

784
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: the air already, fourteen extra base hits.

785
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 4: Braves.

786
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about ratings because the NBA Finals. Ratings for

787
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: Game seven came out and they are terrific. I mean,

788
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: I know we talked about the Raids all the first

789
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: few games the NBA Finals. People aren't watching. It's Indiana,

790
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: it's Oklahoma City, blah blah blah. Told you Look, ratings stories,

791
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: when you talk about low ratings are generally irrelevant. Right,

792
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: Generally that's the way because people are watching many different ways.

793
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: People are still paying attention. But yeah, okay, you're watching

794
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: fewer traditionally, you're watching more other ways. But here's a

795
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: good story. Because Game seven the highest NBA rated game

796
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Finals in six years. They average nearly seventeen million people

797
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: watching on ABC and ESPN, plus the audience peaked at

798
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: just over nineteen million people during the second half. Right,

799
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: first time we've seen those numbers since the Raptors beat

800
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: the Warriors in six games in twenty nineteen. Right, the

801
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: first time they've had more than sixteen million. It's a

802
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: great story now to talk about this, to want to

803
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: have a really constructive ratings conversation about in the NBA.

804
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: And all ratings are up here, ranged down here comes

805
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: back to the old you do who like it? Don't want?

806
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: Right?

807
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: Right, there is you don't like to watch Kevin Durant,

808
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: which we'll get to. But we have become a we

809
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: watch when it matters society in sports because we get

810
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: because seasons are so long and there's so much we

811
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: are we are generally over served for sports, particularly in

812
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: the NBA, which asks a lot of you. In the playoffs, Hey,

813
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: come with us all the way through this journey in

814
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then the NBA Finals are gonna take

815
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: eight weeks to complete. We're gonna take four days off

816
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: between games. They ask a lot of you, and people

817
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: generally know, Okay, I can unplug for these games. Right

818
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: if you are just an average NBA fan and hey,

819
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: here's Game one with the Pacers and the Thunder. Okay,

820
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that I really need to get to

821
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: the television for Game one, in Game two, But as

822
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: a series goes on, Hey, game five games, well, it's

823
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: Game seven, it's the NBA Finals. I'm gonna watch the game.

824
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: And that's why you get the numbers up because the

825
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: average fan I know when to tune in. I can

826
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: skip the grid most parts of the first six games.

827
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: I can tune at the end of a game. I

828
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: don't need to watch the very beginning. I can just

829
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: keep track of the game. Oh, there's five minutes ago,

830
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: because there's other things I have going on in my life.

831
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Are the things I'm doing. It's dinner, it's dancing, it's drinks,

832
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: it's a movie, it's putting the kids to bed. It's

833
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: all these things. And because we're so overserved, we now know, okay,

834
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: I can pick my spots, and so people are picking

835
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: their spots. They picked their okay games out of the

836
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: m It didn't matter who was could have been Indiana

837
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: and Oklaho City, could have been the Knicks and the Lakers.

838
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: People were gonna go to Game seven because it's game seven.

839
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: Well, it's anything urgency right, Award shows do well? Why

840
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 5: because it happens then in that moment you can get

841
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 5: it on Twitter, you can follow it the same way.

842
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 5: And for the NBA, that's a lot of the consumption

843
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 5: now and something they trumpet while bristling at any criticism

844
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 5: about the standard viewing metrics and consumption. Right, it's like

845
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 5: you can run with both, trumpet them both. You're still

846
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 5: drawing a very large audience on a relative basis. It's

847
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 5: just not consumed the same the same way. It was

848
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 5: when we were watching the giant ratings for games twenty

849
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 5: five years ago.

850
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: People are going at it a different way and consuming

851
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: the product. But when it gets down to a winner,

852
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: take all. Sure, we watch it in every sport. You

853
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: get deeper into a series and people come to the

854
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: table who otherwise would have been just fine to see

855
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: the headline in the morning paper the next day. Exit

856
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,600

Speaker 1: huge trade? Was it a good trade? That's next? Jason

Speaker 1: Wearr driver's suit to the move, maybe a helmet.

864
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: You don't know. Is that guy part of Daft Punker?

865
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 4: Is he an F one driver? I don't know. It's

866
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 4: really hot.

867
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna puss up, mussel. Just take your helmet off.

868
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 9: No, but it ruins the illusion to keep the helmet up.

869
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 9: But I'm zuck fuck man, I'm five foot nothing. I

870
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 9: might be Tom Cruise in this fire suit watching this movie.

871
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: You don't know?

872
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,080

Speaker 4: How much way did you lose thirty seven pounds and.

875
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: All in my head? I lost it all because it

876
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: was you got like a shrunken head. You'd be like

877
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: the guy at the end of Beetlejuice that he's sitting

878
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,440

880
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes. A big reaction to

881
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: Tyres Halliburton's achilles injury, which is now gonna put him

882
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: out for maybe most or all of next season. But

883
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: I gotta think the NBA not quite as happy with

884
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: the Hey, we got Game seven coming up today. Oh yeah,

885
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: by the way, we're gonna kind of hit you off

886
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: the bat with the Kevin Durant trade. Oh you couldn't

887
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,319

888
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: couldn't wait two days to announce it. I mean, I

889
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: know you're trading picks and everything, but this morning, the

890
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: morning of Game seven of the NBA Finals went. Honestly,

891
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: that was just as big a headline as Game seven

892
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: of the Finals was.

893
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 4: It was funny.

894
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 5: I was in in studio doing my Fox Sports Sunday

897
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,440

Speaker 5: Star Wars cards, as well as a number of other

902
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 5: luminaries from entertainment sports. Brady buying a two hundred and

00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 5: of it's a k fabe for video only kind of thing,

906
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 5: but all of it's the same. Yeah, it was a

907
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 5: nice choreographed orchestrated thing with kd Up there. Taylor Rooks

908
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: had no notes in her hand or a phone for that,

909
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 5: she had a note card to ask questions and evidently

910
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 5: with the particulars of the deal, as Kevin Durant sat there.

911
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, with a finals that we've lamented or most

912

913
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,239

00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 5: game seven, they still needed some juice.

915
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: I don't think Adam Silver is going to be too mad.

916
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 5: On this one for one of the random occurrences of

917
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 5: because you would have been just as mad about the

918
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 5: Lakers sale going down last week.

919
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,200

Speaker 1: we tried to Kevin Durant like, it's a whole thing.

924
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: Nobody likes it. Wait, don't We don't do it. We

925
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: want the game to be the spotlight and be the

926
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: big event. No, no, no, here's what's gonna happen. Then

927
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: we's the trade as kind of an appetizer, and then

928
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: you realize, oh, it's just as big as the NBA Finals.

929
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 4: Wow, where is that?

930
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 5: Well, it did get people fired up on all sides,

931
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 5: and I guess that's the point, right if they added

932
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 5: a little bit of extra juice, because now you're tuning

933
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 5: in also for the commentary of what people think about

934
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 5: the trade or whether they're mad that it got because

935
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 5: let's face it, you got some of the commentators who

936
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 5: have no problem speaking their mind. This is where you

937
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 5: needed that zoom room with Barkley and Shack and company

938
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 5: just sitting there waiting to pounce on this.

939
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: So the Kevin Durant trade goes down and you have

940
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: I have two big thoughts on the Durant trade. First

941
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: one is the Rockets gave up way too much to

942
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: get him, too much to get I mean, I get

943
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: that it's Kevin Durant, but you can't just look and say,

944
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: we're getting Kevin Durant and didn't have this vision in

945
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: your head that you're getting a twenty six year old

946
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. You're getting a thirty seven year old KD

947
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: who gets his points. Right, We'll get to KD in

948
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: a second. You're getting a score. You're getting Kevin Durant.

949
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 1: You've given up your leading scorer, right, And another great

950
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: piece of the team that that is a big does

951
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: a big deal, right. Jalen Green is a stud. He

952
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: is an ascending leading scorer who had had a career

953
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: high in threes. He's twenty three years old. This kid

954
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: is terrific. This is a guy you had to give up.

955
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: And Dylan Brooks, who is of that Desmond bane mold of. Hey,

956
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: he's a great piece on defense, he's got attitude, he

957
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: will also hit his threes. And oh, by the way,

958
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: here's a tenth overall pick, and then a bunch of

959
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: drafts like you gave a what team was giving up

960
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: more than that for Kevin Durant. I mean, really, again,

961
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: it's Kevin Durant, who is a mid to late thirties

962
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: got and I get that he kind of seamlessly fits

963
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: in because you need a guy to be to be,

964
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: to be someone you can go to at the end

965
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: of the games. But you gave up your your top scorer,

966
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: who's tent. I mean that should have been That's way

967
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: too much, all right. If you just said okay Jalen Green,

968
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: I say, oh no, no, that's that's too much. Man,

969
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: can't do that. You got to give up some ancillary

970
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: pieces here and you got to keep your core instead.

971
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: You decided, hey, we have enough pieces. I get you

972
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: have some good players. Yo Shangun is really good and

973
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Fred van Vliet is incredibly solid. Look, I like I

974
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: like you. I like Houston how they built their team.

975
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: But you're giving away a twenty three year old stud

976
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: and you're giving away a really good role player who's

977
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 1: still in his in his in his mid to late twenties,

978
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: and the tenth overall. But it's way too much. I

979
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: think every every NBA team is just sitting around right

980
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: now looking at that, going oof, all right, Glad we

981
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: backed out of that. Glad we didn't get involved in this,

982
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: because that was just way too much. I really want

983
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: to know what the second best offer was, because I

984
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: can't believe it was anything close to this. The Rockets,

985
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you want to add Kevin Durant. You

986
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: don't want to give away part of your championship window,

987
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: and you we gave Way two starters and good good clue. Again,

988
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: Jim Green is terrific. I don't get that you you

989
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: had to give this much up for Kevin Durant and

990
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: you still did it. Phoenix was desperate. They were desperate

991
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: to get rid of Kevin Durant. Right. Mark Stein joined

992
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: us last week and said, hey, they they so want

993
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: to make this trade before the draft. You could have

994
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: waited them out when they wanted to make the shrift,

995
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: but apparently the Rockets were just so incredibly desperate. This

996
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: is the trade we're gonna make. They give up Way

997
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: too much for Kevin.

998
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 5: We talked a lot about the I mean, we use

999
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 5: it all the time on the show distress properties, right,

1000
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 5: not to you want to be a ghoul, But where's

1001
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 5: your best opportunity. Something bad has happened in a marketplace

1002
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 5: that allows you to come in, usually referred to.

1003
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: In the housing market.

1004
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 5: Oh, there's a divorce, there's a loss of job, there's

1005
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 5: a death in the family, all these negative things. But

1006
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 5: it creates a window whereby suddenly a property it becomes available,

1007
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 5: maybe at a lower price because there is a need

1008
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 5: to move it here I get the draft is Wednesday.

1009
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: And in the end, Jalen Green was a guy we'd

1010
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 5: heard his name that they didn't want to keep him

1011
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 5: around for a long time, right whatever, his scoring acumen

1012
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 5: is first through third quarter, getting better as a three

1013
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 5: point shooter, at the end of game situations, problematic defense

1014
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 5: at times lost all of that.

1015
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: You want and you've already paid wanted Kevin Durant for

1016
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: the end of Gay but you still need, you still

1017
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: need the rest of the game.

1018
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 2: No.

1019
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: But but that's the thing, though, is that you know

1020
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 4: it goes.

1021
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 5: Back to it and I liken it to the trade

1022
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 5: when de Aaron Fox goes to San Antonio, one of

1023
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 5: the teams that was also rumored to potentially be in

1024
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 5: the mix, but they evidently thought they could get cajole

1025
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 5: them for the number two pick, which really didn't make

1026
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 5: a whole hell of a lot of sense.

1027
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 4: But remember what dearon Fox got dealt.

1028
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 5: We looked around and goes, well, they didn't really have

1029
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: to give up a whole lot to get him, right,

1030
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 5: They kept all of their pieces, their top picks, all

1031
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 5: of that, and here like here's here's a bunch of

1032
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 5: second round picks. Who cares number ten pick outside of

1033
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 5: Cooper Flag? Is anybody he like really captivated anybody.

1034
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 4: The asset of a top ten pick? Me, it's you're

1035
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 4: getting it.

1036
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: I get it when you look at that, you know,

1037
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: the the chart value of what you gave up for.

1038
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to see one of our I

1039
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: want to see one of those NFL chart values of Jimmy.

1040
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: This is what we have here, But look at when

1041
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: apply it. You know, we need you know, we need

1042
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: like like the Dynasty Football trade calculators, which are awesome,

1043
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: right uh, where you type in what what a what

1044
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 1: a trade you want to make in Dynasty and they

1045
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: calculate the overall value of a player for not just

1046
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: this year, but their career, and it tells you, hey,

1047
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: you are trading a player with a value of seven

1048
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: thousand and you're getting back a player of four thousand.

1049
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: Or you're trading a player of four thousand, you're asking

1050
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: for a players value of like nine thousand, right like

1051
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: you need to. If they did something like that, the

1052
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: Rockets will go, oh, wow, we're getting a player of

1053
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: seventh thousand. We're giving up like sixteen thousand worths of

1054
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: of instead of that. That's all we're getting, is Kevin

1055
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: Durant like it's it's just way way too much for

1056
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: for for k. This is one of those Hey it

1057
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: didn't work, let's make the money work and you move

1058
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: on from a contract you don't want to pay out.

1059
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: This is how it goes in the NBA. And instead

1060
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: it's all, no, we got we got incredible value like

1061
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: this deal. This was. This was the Rockets came to

1062
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: the to the Sun's rescue and just said here and

1063
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: the Sun said, oh my goodness, we can rebuild our

1064
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: team right now. We rebuild our team right now, right away.

1065
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 8: With all of them.

1066
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 5: Now, the curiosity as we get towards the new league year.

1067
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 5: What is that the sixth of July when everything has

1068
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 5: to be finalized and we jump into the new year.

1069
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 5: That Jalen Green may not be a member of the

1070
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns by time we actually get to that point, right,

1071
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 5: because you already have Bradley Beal who has famously said

1072
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 5: I'm not going anywhere.

1073
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 4: I have a new trade now.

1074
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and if nothing else, he's holding that up

1075
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 5: as a badge of honor.

1076
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 4: It's just me and Lebron.

1077
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and Lebron, that's all.

1078
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 4: We're the only two guys.

1079
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 2: That have this.

1080
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna accept the trade because I want to

1081
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: be able to say I still have this.

1082
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 5: And then you've got Devin Book. They got three guys

1083
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 5: that are kind of the same. Yeah, right, so it's

1084
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 5: it's not gonna work. So one of those guys is

1085
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 5: like they're gonna be be all most likely to really,

1086
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 5: we can't. What do we have to do to get

1087
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 5: you out of that?

1088
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: No?

1089
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 5: Tracks, right, he might still committed fire a couple of

1090
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 5: the shots for sure.

1091
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: Feathered hair, well, he's always going to be sunburn Roja Belle.

1092
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: They have him too nice, that's good. He never recovered

1093
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: from that inbound pass pass. Oh yeah, that way.

1094
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 4: That's too bad.

1095
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 5: But all of that to say, Jayleen Green may not

1096
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 5: be a member of the Suns before it's done, so

1097
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 5: we might see other other pieces and and and additions

1098
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 5: to this because the silly season has just commenced.

1099
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the distressed.

1100
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 5: Property part of it to me was, was it like

1101
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 5: five picks plus the tenth pick. Dylan Brooks, great agitator,

1102
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 5: great protector, all of those kind of things. And then

1103
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 5: you look at Green, who I think for three years

1104
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 5: we've been waiting for him to become that guy, and

1105
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 5: at times he has. But with Houston, their big problem

1106
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 5: was they didn't have a.

1107
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: Go to guy.

1108
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 5: We asked, you know, all all of our NBA experts,

1109
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 5: who's the guy to take the final shot? We got

1110
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 5: multiple answers as well as a bunch of I don't oh,

1111
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what you saw that series right as

1112
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 5: to why they get bounced. So you go in and

1113
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 5: whatever you're getting out of Kevin Durant at this point,

1114
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 5: you know what he is. He's a sharp shooter, still

1115
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 5: the best jump shooter in the game, all of those things.

1116
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 5: You have to monitor his minutes and keep him clean

1117
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 5: into the playoffs. But you've got enough depth because that

1118
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 5: was the bigger part, is like, all right, Dylan Brooks,

1119
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 5: older guy, been around a minute, Okay, fine, Jalen Green

1120
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 5: a guy you were seemingly more than okay with getting

1121
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 5: rid of based on having already paid him, right that

1122
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 5: you paid him for what he was going to be

1123
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 5: and he's not there again, he's twenty three.

1124
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you and I like, there's that part of it.

1125
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: Twenty three slightly good man, Okay, but.

1126
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 5: You got to keep the rest of your depth, I

1127
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 5: guess is what the win part for Houston is.

1128
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 4: And you were the number two seed and now you

1129
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 4: have the closer on board. In theory, in theory,
