The first big domino 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: of the off season has fallen, and again the raven 38 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: have already won the offseason. The Raiders are trading Max 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Crosby to the Ravens in exchange for two first round 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: picks twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven. So now 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna pick first and fourteenth. They got a first 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: round pick next year. The Ravens beating out the offer 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys, who are willing to offer a 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: first and a second round pick to the Raiders for Crosby, 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: who in Zeed goes to the Ravens. He's a big 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: toy for Jesse Minter. And I'll be honest, Mike Carmon, 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm coming into tonight and I'm going I can't believe 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: no one's made this trade for Max Crosby. How is 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: Max Crosby still a Raider? How is Max robs the Raider? 50 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: I would have given up more for Max Crosby. You 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: are not gonna get a guy this good, still with 52 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: at least three maybe four peak years left to wreck 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: havoc like he has for the past six or seven. 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: This is a two time All Pro and a five 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: time pro bowler. He averages ten sacks a year. You're 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: not gonna get better this. Hell yeah, I trade at 57 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: least two first round picks to get Max Crosby. This 58 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: is it. He is the definition of a plug and 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: play guy. He doesn't need to be coached, He doesn't 60 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: do anything. His motor, his attitude just what there it is, Max, 61 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: Go get the quarterback, Go do your thing like he is. 62 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: You can just pick him up, bring him over, PLoP 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: him down and he is fantastic. He wanted out of Vegas. 64 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: Vegas had to make a deal. I'd give him up 65 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: more for him. This is a tremendous move for the Ravens. Yes, 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: first two first round picks. I get it. But you're 67 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: getting one of the top edge rushers in the game 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: the past decade that's still twenty eight years old. Yes, 69 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: you go get Max Crossby. 70 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about it a little bit as 71 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: getting ready to come into the studio. It's like, you know, 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: I and Roddy are producer on the iWatch of Flex 73 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: and part of our team. Here he goes the Jets 74 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: got more first Sauce Gardner like, yeah, that is that 75 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: is true because you got Ady Mitchell. He got a 76 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: couple of first round picks. Now, some of this becomes 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: the question of you know, where you're trying to do 78 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: Crosby a solid not sending him to Football Siberia. The 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: offers the same, but it seems like an opportunity to 80 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: truly maximize things. And you know, conflicting reports of how 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: much he wanted in or out. Yes, he was upset 82 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: at the last regime for Operation Shutdown, but could that 83 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: have been remedied all of this stuff with Guerrero and 84 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: everything going on, and whether you got moles and guys 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: that are trying to exert some clout where they had 86 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: should have none and unrest there. But to get this 87 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: type of player for two draft picks. I got like 88 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: four texts from all my guys in Baltimore. I can't 89 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: read any of them because they're all so expletive laden 90 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: about picks. And I mean, it takes everything that the 91 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: rams have said, and you know they added all the 92 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 3: extra extra language to adjacent and they'll still in the 93 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: playoffs there. But you've now pushed all in. You needed 94 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: a pass rush. I would have thought you would have 95 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: just signed O ways since we saw mintor unlock him 96 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 3: here in Los Angeles. But it doesn't preclude that move. 97 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: But dude, but you make the big push here and 98 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: you go get the guy. 99 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: He's a terror. Max Crosby is an absolute terror. He 100 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: is a lunatic in the best way possible, right, like 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: his attitude, the edge he plays with, nobody likes playing 102 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: against him. Look, it's my favorite Max Crosby story of 103 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: all tied all the things he has done, my favorite 104 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: Max Crosby story is from not this preseason, but last 105 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: preseason when the Raiders had a joint practice with the Rams. 106 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: And you know, joint practice, you don't hit the quarterback. 107 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: You let him go, and if it looks like the 108 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: play is getting close, you know, they blow the whistle 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: so the quarterback doesn't get hurt. Right, this is how 110 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: you do it. And Matthew Stafford telling the story after 111 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: their joint practice, how mad he got because Max Crosby 112 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: kept getting in the backfield and yelling sack sack, sack, like, 113 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: you gotta blow the playe dead because I want to 114 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: sack Matthew Stafford and he goes, we can't even run place. 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: He's this lunatics running around in the backfield, sack sack, 116 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: sack like. That's my favorite Max. He is a lunatic 117 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: in the best way. He can wreck a game all 118 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: by himself. There's not enough. I mean, I don't know. 119 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: Three first round pick, sure I would have, because I'm saying, 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: how many years am I gonna get out of him? 121 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: That are gonna be great? Right? You don't know what 122 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: could happen, obviously, but in theory he's twenty eight, I'm 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: gonna get three four great years out of him. He 124 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: is that big of a talent, you know. To go 125 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: back to less Need, who said the other day when 126 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: the Rams made that big trade for McDuffie, was the 127 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: first thing we do is look and say, are there 128 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: any all pros we can get? Right? And that's a 129 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: great way to look at it, because free agency this 130 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: year especially, you look at the people out there. Not 131 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: a great year. Man, people are gonna overpay for some 132 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: duds in free agency. Man, I'm telling you, but who 133 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: do you look? Okay, what all pros are there out 134 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: there to go get? This is the guy to go get. 135 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe it did. It took this long, and 136 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: I can't believe Tom Brady couldn't get more from Max 137 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: Crosby than this. I really am stunned, because you're right, 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: the Jets did get more for Sauce Gardener. We had 139 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: two first round picks and and ad Ni Mitchell right, 140 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: they almost it's it's almost very similar to what other 141 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: defensive players without Max Crosby's pedigree have gone for in 142 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: a trade the last couple of years. And I really 143 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't get I get that Max Crosby wanted out. 144 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: I get that the Raiders, you know had to move 145 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: on from him. I completely understand. I'm not saying the 146 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: Raider should have kept him because it went past the 147 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: point of no return with his injury at the end 148 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: of the year last year, and he was upset when 149 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders sent him home. He didn't want to go home. 150 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: He wanted to play. I mean, you could have easily 151 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: blamed that on Pete Carroll and said he's not our 152 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: coach anymore. But I mean that was a big thing, 153 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: and that was really the beginning of the end for 154 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Max Crosby. But you could have held on this. This 155 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: is a plug and play guy, man. I mean you 156 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: could have You could held on to him, and you 157 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: could have gone closer to the draft that you could 158 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: have got more. Because this is the guy that you 159 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: go out and pay that for, right This is this 160 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: is what you go out guys like Max Crosby and 161 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, this is what you go out and trade 162 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, I can't I mean, you're right, Frostburg, 163 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: the Raven's still gonna find a way to blow it 164 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But I can't say enough about how 165 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: big a move right now for. 166 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think as you look at it for the Ravens. 167 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: You're in that you gotta win now, right, Lamar Jackson 168 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: is now going towards the back end of that first 169 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: decade in the league, and we have no guarantees it's 170 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: going to age well. Right, you see the mobility starts 171 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: to come down, the injuries start to mount, all of 172 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: those things that add up to an issue. Now they 173 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 3: still have to go find some receivers for Jackson to 174 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: throw to. But you solve one of the biggest problems 175 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: you had last year. You had no pass rush whatsoever. 176 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: Every week I would do my spot in Baltimore and 177 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: we'd be talking about that deficiency. And one of them, 178 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: and I already mentioned his name once was was Oway, 179 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: who had been there and hadn't been able to do 180 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: much of anything as a pass rusher. And he showed 181 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: up in Los Angeles and all of a sudden, he's 182 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: he's going He's a holy terror against opposing quarterbacks on occasion. 183 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: So you're looking at trying to maximize what's left of 184 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's window, which means you push all in to 185 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: the less need comment. Yeah, you go get the player. 186 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 3: Someone else wants to try to go one hundred percent 187 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: on those picks. Have ad it, Ravens. This is as 188 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 3: low as they've picked. What was it twenty twenty two 189 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: when they picked Kyle Hamilton and Linderbaum. Well, Linderbom's gonna 190 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: end up somewhere, maybe actually in Nevada as their new center, 191 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: but otherwise they were picking in the twenties and low 192 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 3: twenties for years. So you go and push that away. Okay, go, 193 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: if you think you can strike gold, go mining, have 194 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: at it. We'll take the player. And for the Ravens, 195 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 3: we talk about the changing of the head coach. We 196 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: talk about these near misses, and there have been near misses, 197 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 3: but guess what they a'll count the same. A loss 198 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: is a loss. You tell me about a bad punt return, 199 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: you tell me about a drop pass or a field 200 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: goal miss, whatever, they all count the same. It's it's 201 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: an l and you all went home, which means, don't 202 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 3: leave it to the margins and go find an impact playmaker. 203 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: And as we've chronicled extensive, Leland will continue to do 204 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 3: so as the new year League year starts. 205 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: Man. 206 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: How many free agents do you look at and go, yep, 207 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: that's the guy. Linder Balm's the only guy that you've 208 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: been able to say that everybody else is all right, 209 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 3: system fit. What's the ceiling? So go get Max Crosby. 210 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,359 Speaker 3: Whether he's he'll be really happy to go to Baltimore. 211 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about winning culture and getting away 212 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: from L after l as much as he was wanting 213 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: to be a Raider for life. He'll have to get 214 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: that tattoo changed, I think. 215 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: But oh, that's easy. I think that I think that's 216 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: part of the deal. And you're gonna pay to change 217 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: my tattoo. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, we got the best 218 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: guy at Baltimore. Don't worry about it. 219 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 4: Man. 220 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: We can make that lined up. 221 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: We can make that shield into a crab easy. 222 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: We'll pick you up at the airport. Make sure that happens. 223 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you look at last year. You remember 224 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Last year they were really kind of you 225 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: want to say, done in by the first half of 226 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: the season when their defense was absolutely abysmal. Right, it 227 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: was like, how is the defense this bad? How are 228 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: they giving up forty points to Buffalo and then you 229 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: know thirty eight points to Detroit, thirty seven of Kansas 230 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: City forty forty Houston thirty six is awful. In a 231 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: row like this is awful. But that's the start that 232 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: what killed their season because then after the bye week 233 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: they fixed it. They had won five in a row. 234 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: They come down to the final week of the season 235 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: for the AFC North with Pittsburgh. Their defense plays a 236 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: little bit better. Overall, they played better. They fixed a 237 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: lot of that bye week. I don't know that there 238 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: is a team that had a better bye week adjustment 239 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: last year than the Ravens did. But now you're hitting 240 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: the ground running, new start, new things, new energy, and 241 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: now you have probably you're talking about the second most 242 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: talented person that the Ravens have had in the Lamar 243 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Jackson era on this team again, Max Crosby. Look, Derek 244 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: Henry's terrific, right, I love Derek Henry. Max Crosby is 245 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: the second most talented player that they have had in 246 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: into Lamar Jackson run. And that's a huge deal when 247 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: you have guys on either side of the ball like this. 248 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: Now I can't get over there, and this is a 249 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: division that is there for the taking because Cincinnati, you 250 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: know what kind of problems they have. The Browns always 251 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: have problems, right, Pittsburgh didn't even know who their quarterback's 252 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: gonna because Aaron Rodgers is sitting out again waiting like 253 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: this was the Ravens taking a big move and saying, hey, 254 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna grab hold of the AFC North right now. 255 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: And again, I don't know what the rest of the 256 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: offseason is gonna hold. I don't know who's gonna be 257 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: able to take somebody somewhere else whereverybody's going free agency, 258 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: but the free agency ain't that great. And I can't 259 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: believe a team's gonna ace the draft more. But I'll 260 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: tell you they should win the division. They should be 261 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: a big playoff threat. It's not gonna get any better 262 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: than the Ravens getting Max Crossby. 263 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get deeper into the Raiders side of things, 264 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: because well now you got a couple more bites at 265 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: the proverbial apple that you have to get right in 266 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 3: this whole reset. But yeah, for the for the Ravens, 267 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: it's everything. And I'm only half kidding about our Joe 268 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 3: Burrow because he's got to be looking around. What did 269 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: I do to deserve you? 270 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's all right. Joe's got some time 271 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: to get out. It's okay, drafted me, He's got some time. 272 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, this wasn't my choice. This is like 273 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: every other week I have to be staring over my 274 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: left shoulder, looking at the looking at my blind side, 275 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: like every single. 276 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,359 Speaker 3: Stunk every year too. So yeah, here's another two weeks. 277 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: Good luck Joe Burrow, good luck exit out about a 278 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: Fresca exit swollen dome.

Two 321 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: points for Jalen Brunt. I told you the Nuggets by thirteen. 322 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: Maybe he's not the MVP they have to take. Maybe 323 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: you have to take Jalen Brunson off of my MVP ballot. 324 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: Now I may have to do that, Mike, I really 325 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: I may have to do that.

Then you're gonna win ten more 336 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: in a row. Then you're gonna lose one. It's gonna happen. 337 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: But it's still it's still early. It's still early in 338 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: that game. This I mean, I mean, even if the 339 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: Nuggets win, the second half doesn't matter. Nick's clearly have 340 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: won the first half, you know, especially with Brunson only 341 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: scoring two weeks He's one out of eight from the floor. 342 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: This is this is stunning that that the Knicks can 343 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: have an effort like this in the first half and 344 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: Brunson scoring two points on one of eight shooting. It's 345 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: absolutely stunning that the Knicks canna have a thirteen point Ly, 346 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: if I told you Knicks were playing Denver and at halftime, 347 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson's got two points, he's one freight, I would say, 348 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: what would the Nuggets have to be winning sixty to 349 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: thirty five? What are they down by twenty? Knicks down 350 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: by twenty five? Maybe it could be down by thirty 351 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: with Jalen Prince at Nope, they're up by thirteen over Denver. 352 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: The battle of Robinson and shamant as to who is 353 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: the most valuable sixth man of the Knicks. 354 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I think right now Robinson and Shammitt 355 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: split the MVP. I think I think they split. You 356 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: got twenty three points off the bench. From those two, 357 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: add another two from Alvarado. I mean that second unit 358 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: just getting some work done. Yeah, go New york O News. 359 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: Well they had to because your would be MVP failed. 360 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Jokic. Meanwhile, twenty one five and four so far for 361 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Again that game at halftime, but the Knicks 362 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: are the thirteen point lead, getting two points. 363 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 6: Jason, it doesn't count though it's not on TV. 364 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: No, no, it's on MSG. It's on MSG. It's it's 365 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: there TV. Though. What doesn't count is Juan Soto's error 366 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: and left field in the World Baseball Classic. There's no 367 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: real no, no, no, I don't think anybody saw it. 368 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 6: I mean counts a lot more than a player. You're 369 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 6: gonna celebrate. 370 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: What is happening right now in the World Baseball Classic 371 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: opening night for the United States. They are thumping Brazil 372 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: pretty good right now, seven to one. Honestly, it should 373 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: be twelve to one, thirteen to one. It's been a 374 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: big night. Up and down. The lineup for the United 375 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: States are in Judge has a big two run homer 376 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: starting things off in the first inning. You have seven 377 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: different players scoring runs, and Schwarber's got a couple of hits. 378 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: It's been a pretty good up and down the lineup, 379 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: even though even Bryce to Ryan hitting ninth has three 380 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: RBIs to night for the United States again, bottom of 381 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: the seventh, up seven to one over Brazil. Brazil has 382 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: two hits, Ramirez with a leadoff home run off of 383 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: Logan Web and that's really been it for Brazil so 384 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: far this game. 385 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if miss Gaye or however we I did 386 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 3: not hear the pronunciation of the man's name, mas guy 387 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 3: the left fielder, if you knew how to play the 388 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 3: left field wall, it would have been an out instead 389 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 3: of three run scoring. So uh, you know, defense does 390 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 3: matter as we go through. But yeah, the United States 391 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: cruising along as you expect. Like see a Clayton Kershaw 392 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 3: appearance before long. 393 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know if 394 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: it's safe enough to bring it.

I don't think it's that. 398 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: I think you got to get to at least a 399 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: double digit lead. It's safe enough to bring Kershaw in? Okay, Yeah, 400 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: if it's if it gets to be eleven to one, 401 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: then but you still have to have somebody ready to 402 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: come in, Like you can't just bring him in and say, Okay, 403 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: we're gonna close things out and now he's got to 404 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: come in, but you gotta have a guy ready just 405 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: in case. 406 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 3: That's right, Brazilla has walked eleven batters eleven. 407 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: That's a lot. 408 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:48,239 Speaker 3: Uh. 409 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: But the big story from this game, and this is 410 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: why I love the World Baseball Classic because we get 411 00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: stories like this.
