Speaker 1: baseball today. There's no more baseball in a little bit.

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: The only baseball is Mookie Betts got a hit, So

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: we're alive with the streak.

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,600

00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,960

00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: No is this pick today?

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: Mike?

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 2: How it's good thing you didn't pick any Mets. Uh yeah,

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: but I mean they don't have to win the game.

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: They need to get a hit. But it a lot

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: of no hitters out there, so that's good. All of a.

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: Sudden, the Mets have all kinds of problems and it's

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: everything at all once. I'm here finally, Okay, they're beating

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Braves three nothing, they'd get three runs off of

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider. Awesome, right, Uh, Montas's back and he's a

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: first game, no runs through five innings. Things feeling great.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Then Brazaban comes in and walks the first three guys

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: at the sixth inning. Next thing I know, it's six

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: to three. Like this is just awful, Like this is

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: everything is falling apart at once.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: All.

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: I was like, am I gonna even get to watch

36
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: baseball this? Sime's it gonna be like said, We're gonna

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: be five hundred coming up in a couple of weeks.

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I feel like they're never gonna win again. Well, the

39
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: frightening thing is that, as of tomorrow, a lot of

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: teams hit the midpoint of the season. So there you

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: have that half your baseball season, uh is gone. But yeah,

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: you're struggling. You always just hope your teams get you

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: from one losing season to the nest. And right now

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: the Mets are strugg I mean, I mean not that

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are gonna have a great year.

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: But boy, getting the Mets to the Jets, I'm like,

47
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing. Just getting the training camp. It's now a

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: big deal.

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Guys are bearing the lead.

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: That's tough. I'm sorry, what's the lead White Sox legend.

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: No, it's in the garden. Oh sure, sure, signs the

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: minor league deal in Chicago. So that's good. Yeah, Dicky

00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: Show heyo.

62
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: Todi takes one to the deepest part of the ballpark,

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: and his first at bat, it's just a nice easy canichord.

64
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: When it's got supposed to go four sixteen to get out,

65
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: it went for to one. For over forty years, Tirec's

Speaker 1: mobile tire installation. Tirec dot com is the way tire

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: buying should be. Well proof that I can be an

71
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: NBA inside, Oh, here we go. I can be because Hey,

72
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: when the Drew Holliday Anthony Simon's trade went down last night,

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: what do we say? Hey, say goodbye to the Boston Celtics.

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: As you know, because this is going to be an

75
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: offseason in which you're going to see big players moved

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start over again with with their championship

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: corps and try to figure out what do we do

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum gets back, how do we become a championship

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: team again? And this is the byproduct when you have

80
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: one bad injury, it affects the direction of a team.

81
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Here's Jason Tatum's achilles. He's not going to be back

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: from majority.

83
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Of this season.

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Well, we got guys signed for the next year plus.

85
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, those look like bad investments because

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: we're not going to compete while Tatum is out. Like, hey,

87
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: we like Derek White and Jalen Brown, they're both good players,

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: but are we really gonna compete?

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: No, so what do we need to do.

90
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Let's move out some salary, let's get some flexibility. And

91
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: so I said last night, Hey, after this trade drawidate

92
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Porzingis is gonna go. You may get calls on Derek White,

93
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: who knows and what happened today? Three way trade, Chris

94
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: Tops Porzingis is now in Atlanta Hawk. The great Celtic

95
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: sell off is happening. We told you was gonna happen

96
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: last night. And this is how fast it happens in

97
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: the NBA. What a championship winner. This is why all

98
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: this dynasty stuff and all that crazy ass stuff is

99
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: just completely irrelevant, because you would have thought, well, the

100
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Celtic could be a dynasty. All their great players are

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: all twenty seven, twenty eight years old, they could have

102
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: another great three year run.

103
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Why not?

104
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: It happened so fast they were gonna lose to the

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Knicks anyway in the second round. But Tatum's injury really

106
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: puts next year into into focus. So suddenly it's another

107
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: year of the three year deal that you signed Drew

108
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: Holiday for and that doesn't work. Porzingis's contract that work.

109
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: None of this works. So let's get some financial flexibility

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: back and I love getting Simon's back last night.

111
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: That was a great get back. I loved it.

112
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: I loved when they that was a good move for them,

113
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: replacing some offense that the Jason Tatum as and I'll

114
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: have a place on the team for the next few years,

115
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: you would think, But like, this is.

116
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: How fast it ends for a team.

117
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: This era of the Celtics is over and in a

118
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: year or so when they start getting back to it

119
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: all right now, we'll have some flexibility next year when

120
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Tatum gets back and into the offseason, like you're the

121
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Celtics just someding saying, yeah, this year's gonna suck. It's

122
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna be what it's gonna be. And you're looking at

123
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: at a year a year from now, which is a

124
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: really tough thing to sell your fan base at At

125
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: at this point when you're looking forward to the draft

126
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, you get in the off season, how are

127
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: we gonna get better? But this is how fast it

128
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: changed in the NBA, and the Celtics are now trying

129
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to rebuild on the fly

130
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: with new members of a championship team. Not the last

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: move they're gonna make No, there's gonna be other stuff

132
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: coming up. But this is the Celtics as you knew

133
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: them are gone. They're done.

134
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: This era of the Celtics is over well. But the

135
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: way the contracts work.

136
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: We talk about the second Apron and how restrictive it

137
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: is in terms of player retention and also movement, Right,

138
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: guys are only going to have so few places that

139
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: can take on, especially once you're into that second deal,

140
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: third deal. The type of contracts that we're talking about.

141
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: For the Celtics, the moves that they made in the

142
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: last two days got them out of the Second Apron,

143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: so they're they're estimating it's going to save them somewhere

144
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: in the vicinity of two hundred million dollars in taxas

145
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: million dollars. Yeah, just by trading off holiday, you get

146
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: bring back a guy in Simon's who's almost a decade younger,

147
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: does a lot of the same things. And a lot

148
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: of rumors today that there may still be something in

149
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: the offing to send Jalen Brown off or Derek White

150
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned with him, but poor zingis it was inevitable.

151
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of where. And now he goes

152
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: to Atlanta and in the Eastern Conference where everything's a

153
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: bit topsy turvy and looking at Atlanta and raising your

154
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: eyebat going maybe all right, well, might might be, it

155
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: might be a little bit stretched.

156
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: But either way, it's.

157
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: An interesting piece of movement. But for the Boston Celtics,

158
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: showing once again stability and reliance on a leadership group

159
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and continuity in your front office and a working knowledge

160
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: of these changes and being a depth with being able

161
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: to move so fluidly and recognize, hey, we may love

162
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: these guys. They may have had some great, great continuity

163
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and cohesion with each other, but it's an ever evolving

164
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: process and Jason Tatum's not there and it doesn't go

165
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: without him. So what do you You're fighting to get

166
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: to third or fourth while paying deep into the luxury

167
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: tech new owners not going on board with that. Right,

168
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it's a complete reset with the sale of the franchise

169
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: and the direction that you're taking, led by a guy

170
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: like Brad Stevens with a steady hand. Yeah, I mean,

171
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: just this is how fast it goes to say. Now

172
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: it's we're looking at twenties twenty six, twenty twenty seven, right,

173
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: And I get as a fan that's the worst, right,

174
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to send a message of okay, yeah, well,

175
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: you know we had a bad break.

176
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: We won the championship, so.

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: I remember we won the title last year and saying

178
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: you can still wear your Celtics title gears still where

179
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: It's all great, but it's a really tough message to send. Okay,

180
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: before the draft, before you've gotten anybody, what's our outlook

181
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: for next year? And things can surely change, right even

182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Tatum could come back a little bit sooner.

183
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Simon suddenly becomes a better player even than

184
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: he was in Portland, and you know, you get it.

185
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: Right with a draft, but there's things that can happen.

186
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: But right now the message is just hey, this money,

187
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: this this, these finances are no longer self sufficient for us,

188
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: and we have to move on right and this is

189
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: this gets you to the point of when when we

190
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: when when we we get a larger picture, because the

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: bigger part of this is that this is part of

192
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: that microcosm of how people who own teams now need

193
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: to not just be rich, but they need to be

194
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: super megasilly rich. Where this is like one or two

195
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: or three things that we do right. Hedge Fund guys

196
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: or internet billionaires, whatever it is. Because the mom and

197
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: pop teams, right like the Lakers, they clearly didn't have

198
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: enough money to compete because whatever they were worth, like this,

199
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: hold the team for ten billion dollars, that's awesome. If

200
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: you're gonna compete in sports, right, your owner's got to

201
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: be worth more than that, because if they're not, they're

202
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: just gonna keep counting pennies and saying, Okay, this doesn't

203
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: make financial sense for us. And certainly, yes, there's rules

204
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: you have to follow in the NBA with the cap

205
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: and the apron.

206
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: I get that.

207
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: But when you're rich, Okay, you don't want your owner

208
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: to be looking at hey, financially, this could be a

209
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar loss for us. You want your

210
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: owner to look at that and go, Okay, that happens,

211
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: but let's move on. Because I'm so incredibly rich because

212
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm a ship magnate or whatever it is, that I'm

213
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: worth two hundred billion dollars that losing two hundred million

214
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: with my basketball team is not that big a deal.

215
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: Right, Like, you see these teams.

216
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: And now you know, we even got a little bit

217
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: with stan Kronki in Denver, Say which we'll hear about

218
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: how he's saying, Hey, if the money gets bad enough,

219
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I want to think about trading fifteen Nicole Yoki's like, yeah,

220
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: Josh Cronky.

221
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: Open doorway.

222
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: Guess one who gets who also doesn't have enough money

223
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: to run a basketball team Like this is why it's

224
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: not a bad thing that these teams are now getting

225
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: bought by these big conglomerates that yeah, I made my

226
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: money in hedge funds, but I also do this and

227
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: I own a team because I want to. Because you

228
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: need to have those deep pockets where where you don't.

229
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to sit back and say, well, we

230
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: can't do anything this year because the money's not gonna work.

231
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: Okay. This is why this is gonna be.

232
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: Awesome for the Lakers with Mark Walter, because hey, the

233
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: outside money the guy owns like seventeen professional sports teams,

234
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't mall to spend more money. That's why it's

235
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: great for them. Where where the Lakers, you saw, hey,

236
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: money was a thing going over.

237
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: This was a thing. We didn't want to spend this

238
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: kind of money.

239
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: And this is why with the Celtics you have to

240
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: sit back and go, Okay, do the Celtics on growth,

241
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: but do they have enough money? They have enough money

242
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: to run team? Because all of a sudden, when you

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: start hearing, hey we get a one hundred million, two

244
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: hundred million deal, that this is a financial thing for us,

245
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: we have to retool for money. This tells me you

246
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: do not have the money to compete in this era

247
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: of sports where all the guys coming in or all

248
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: the forty year old tech billionaires that have so much

249
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: money it doesn't matter what they lose. Well, I think

250
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: in this case, it's not the the idea of hey,

251
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: we we don't have the money to pay it. It's

252
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: just financial prudence of why are we going to pay

253
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: into this tax for what's probably going to be a

254
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: middling year anyway? Right Because if you keep holiday and

255
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: you keep Christaps porzingis, are you guaranteed any level of

256
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: success even in the East. That is we all agree

257
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: a bit topsy turvy when this is.

258
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: The Knicks stop.

259
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: The Knicks are gonna be the overwhelming favorite to get

260
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: the just gonna be even money to get to the finals.

261
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: Well, we talked about it yesterday. Right there, they're.

262
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Second only to Cleveland in terms of odds right now

263
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: and they don't even have a coach. Uh, nor do

264
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: we really know what that roster's gonna call?

265
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: Get there still.

266
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Second, say that again, We'll call Doc tonight. Yeah, well,

267
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: let's let's get him on the phone. I'm sure we

268
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: have a whole week and no, bring him in. No,

269
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: just say hey, let's go out to the phone lines

270
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: and boom there he is. Never can't tell who's gonna

271
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: be dialing in. I mean, we know everybody listens, so

272
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: dial it up. Not calling Doc eight seven seven nine

273
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: and not calling Doc. Maybe Doc is listening right now,

274
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: he's just gonna dial in. Nope, Maybe he's got the

275
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: hotline number. Nope, nope, not going next them?

276
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: Then, no, no, no, you did not.

277
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have to say you know what

278
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: I got you if we want Doc to the Knicks,

279
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: it's happening, dude.

280
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: I got your phone the other day. I deleted so

281
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: that never happened. You kidding. My hands are fast, my

282
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: hands are your feet are slow? Though, Yes, it doesn't matter.

283
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: I took it.

284
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: I deleted Doc rivers out of your phone and put

285
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: it back. We hear your athotics coming.

286
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: Right back to the point I was making.

287
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: We hear you and your under armor, sneakers with a

288
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: really wide foot coming a mile away, squeaking down the hallway.

289
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Just the idea that you're being.

290
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Financially prudent of looking at the what's ahead of you

291
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: on the table. Is Christop porzingis worth the money that

292
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: you were going to pay him? Is keeping holiday worth

293
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: what he costs as opposed to bringing in Simons nearly

294
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: a decade younger, and that much cheaper was it is

295
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: six or seven million dollars a year difference, plus he's

296
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: got an extra year on his deal if I recall

297
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: correctly all of that to say that, you know you're

298
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: you're setting yourself back up so you can be a

299
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: player in the marketplace when Jason Tatum's healthy and you're

300
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: ready to make another run. Now, if you shed off

301
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: either Derek White or Jalen Brown, then obviously you're you're

302
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: gutting yourself all together towards that rebuild process. But at

303
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: least where you've made a couple of big strides today,

304
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: you've started to give yourself some flexibility towards the next

305
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: iteration and the next run of building your squad again.

306
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: The putative effect of these second aprons and the restrictions

307
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: that don't exist in baseball. Exit out about a Fresca

308
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: exit swallen down the Jason Smiths row with Mike Carmon again.

309
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Would if you hear any owner now say hey, we

310
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about money and it's a big thing,

311
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: and they throw one hundred million dollars, you know, they

312
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: cannot compete in the modern era of sports where all

313
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: the owners coming in all have way more money.

314
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: Than they ever did before.

315
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: You can't can't just have some kind of jag owner

316
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: worth like three billion dollars. No, you gotta be worth

317
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: like up in the fifties and be able to be

318
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: okay spending it like you need somebody that's worth so

319
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: much money. It's got to be over the top money

320
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: to own a sports team now, or those teams aren't

321
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna compete. That's why the LA Lakers have so much

322
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: fub watch them compete now because they can spend in

323
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: some of the money they're not gonna care about. It's

324
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be well, this is something we're not sure

325
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: we want to do. Yeah, I get it, I get it,

326
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: But they're a dying breed. That's why it's Lakers money

327
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: is all going to be the stuff behind the scenes

328
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: that they couldn't do.

329
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,520

374
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: we got more basketball coming up, but today we had

375
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: the real admission that this could be the end for

376
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: one Aaron Aloysius Rodgers. This year, maybe we said no, okay,

377
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: whoa whoa, whoa whoa nut, that's the end? Okay, okay,

378
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: Oh he's tapping out.

379
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean T shirt. Just wanted it to be definitive.

380
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: He's really gonna end. He's ending.

381
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Rogers made his first appearance on the Pat McAfee show

382
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: in about a month and a.

383
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: Half for you selfish word and uh yeah, jud I

384
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: think they're gonna miss his appearances on the show as well,

385
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: but uh yeah, because he's going away.

386
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: He said a couple of things, and number one was

387
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said that, hey, playing football, long time, twenty

388
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty five. It might be the last time you see

389
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: old number twelve, number eight, number six, whatever, last time

390
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: you might see me in an NFL uniform.

391
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it.

392
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: You know.

393
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 5: This was really about finishing with a lot of love

394
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 5: and fun and peace for the career that I've had,

395
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: I've played twenty freaking you. What better place to finish

396
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL.

397
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know that you need more evidence that

398
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: this is not gonna go well with the Steelers, but

399
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you. I'm pretty sure he sounds

400
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: like he's done now and I'm just gonna play this season. Right,

401
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: think about everything from the offseason, right, He didn't say

402
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: he wanted to sign. He stayed away from football. You know,

403
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: the Jets called him in to tell him you're fired,

404
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: and he talked about that, and he's not. He wasn't

405
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: with a team. No one knew what was going on.

406
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: He came, he threw to DK Metcalf once. He made

407
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers wait until right up against the mandatory mini

408
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: camp to come in. And then he comes into mandatory

409
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: mini camp and now here he is again, that's over.

410
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: He's walking on the beach, pictures of him, and now

411
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: he does an interview saying, yeah, pretty sure I played

412
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: a long time. Man. He sounds like he's done now.

413
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: And when you and if this is what it is,

414
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: then he should not play because he sounds like he's

415
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: already done, but I'm just gonna play this last year

416
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, hoping that hey, I'm on a better

417
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: franchise and I was with the Jets. The defense will

418
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: be better, the coaching is better, maybe the offense will

419
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: be better. I don't think so, because what Arthur Smith

420
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: likes to do what I like to do are completely opposite.

421
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: But it's like it sounds like he's retired already. And

422
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: this is why whenever an athlete says, hey, I'm gonna

423
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: do one more year. Okay, how mentally into and how

424
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: mentally focused are you going to be for this year?

425
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: Or are things going to fall by the way he said?

426
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Will your preparation be what it was? It's not because

427
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Pittsburgh Steeler,

428
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: he would have signed there much earlier. He could have

429
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: easily signed Hey during free agency, get me the playbook,

430
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: all these things like, hey, I'm not gonna be there

431
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 1: till mandatory mini camp, but hey, I want to be here.

432
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: This is what I want. I'm gonna go.

433
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: So you know, he didn't really want there, but it

434
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: was the only choice he had. So I became a Steeler, right.

435
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: And everything that's gone along. He doesn't sound like a Hey,

436
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: I'm done.

437
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: I played a long time man twenty This is what

438
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: you say when you've retired, not when you're going into

439
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: your final season. I mean mentally that's a thing. And

440
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: is this preparation gonna be the sames? You feel like

441
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: he wants to be a Hall of famerites want to

442
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: throw a few more touchdowns and maybe catch lightning in

443
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: a bottle, like when you're done, Like this is the

444
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: stuff you say, and it sounds like he's done. Yeah,

445
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: take the entire off season with the grand song. I

446
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: don't know what his off season has truly been. He

447
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: might have had that playbook three months ago. We don't know, right,

448
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: they couldn't disclose it because he wasn't under contract. But

449
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: all we'd heard was whispers and rumors, wink wink of

450
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: these deals, just like all the collusive stuff with the owners. Right,

451
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: it's stuff we've talked about for a long time of Hey,

452
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: he was gonna show up in Pittsburgh.

453
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: It was just a matter of time.

454
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: Now.

455
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: Was there some scuttle butt, some whispers of wanting Minnesota

456
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: or whatever? Sure it was out there, But in the

457
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: end he ends up in Pittsburgh, just where we thought

458
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: he was all along. So how many times did he

459
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: throw a DK metcalf? Well, one that's documented. Maybe more

460
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: than that, we don't know. Like I didn't track the

461
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: guy twenty five. I didn't have him like Norad tracking,

462
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: you know, Santa Claus going across the sky and tracking

463
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: the reindeer and what they were up to on a

464
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: given night. In terms of his countenance, here, what's he

465
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna do. He's gonna go running in on McAfee like

466
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: he's the ultimate warrior.

467
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: It starts going, I'm so ready for trading camp. Brother,

468
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 2: come on, the warriors are coming. No, but dude, what

469
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: did I just say? If you're gonna play, you sign earlier.

470
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: You make it seem like you want to be that.

471
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: You don't let your teammates say he can come here

472
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: or not if you want to be a teammate or not.

473
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: That's not how That's not how a quarterback acts. It's

474
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: not how guys acted. Hey, I still love football, I

475
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: still want to play.

476
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: I'm done.

477
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm done the Jets. The Jets were terrible and I

478
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: thought I might have been done, But now I'll play

479
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: one more year. Okay, I'll play one more year, right,

480
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: like some guys can do that.

481
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 2: But he's not that guy.

482
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: He's not that guy you had to worry about how

483
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: boughten he was last year with the Jets, in the

484
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: last two years with the Jets, as he bought in,

485
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: is he mentally there is? He be there as long

486
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: as pots to be Jets. It was a year ago,

487
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: as I'm going to Egypt, I can't come to the

488
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: I can't come to the minitary minicemp Okay.

489
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: Now he hasn't been around at all.

490
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: And now when you hear him say yeah, this is it,

491
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm done, I mean it, he sounds like and if you,

492
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: if you, if you're done now, then retire now, retire now,

493
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: because this is not gonna be good for either side.

494
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden it's gonna be Will Howard

495
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: playing Week six at quarter back for the Steelers. Yeah,

496
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: they're over unders. I mean it was baked in. It

497
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: was that eight and a half wins. So that that's

498
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: what we're looking at. We're looking at a five hundred team.

499
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: See if he can keep the streak alive and maybe,

500
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: if you're lucky, you catch lightning in a bottle and

501
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: you ride into January. But is he better than any

502
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: of their alternatives?

503
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: Yes? Is he better?

504
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: Is he going to be better here than he was

505
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: with the Jets? Yes, these he might not throw enough

506
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: to be better. He might be one of those guys.

507
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Hey boy, Aaron Rodgers is only eight for nineteen today,

508
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: only threw the ball nineteen times. Well, that's because they

509
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: ran Jalen more in twenty five times they ran from

510
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean he may not get that chance. Yeah, No,

511
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: he'll override Arthur Smith. I don't think we're gonna need

512
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: to worry about that.

513
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: I keep saying, run the ball. Yeah, yeah, I got it.

514
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: We not just have a story about the diet tribes

515
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: he was having about the run game with the Jets

516
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: a year ago. There's no way he's succumbing to whatever

517
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith wants. He's going to come in and the

518
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: only way he shows up with this squad is if

519
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: he's got a bit more of control. So that's what

520
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm expecting here, and that they do have at least

521
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: a peaceful marriage for this year and it's one and

522
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: done and they can start thinking about whatever the quarterback

523
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: of the future is, which is dangerous even though they

524
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: get their compensatory picks for guys that left and all

525
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: that stuff.

526
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: You got these big thought pieces.

527
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: In the end, is that enough to be able to

528
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: trade up to get a guy you really want if

529
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: this season goes better than expected, right, if you're setting

530
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: up for next year's draft, And that's the part that's

531
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: worrisome for me, it's like, well, why not go the

532
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Celtics route, Just say, hey, this is a lost year,

533
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: let's go get that best quarterback a year from now.

534
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how focused he is with success.

535
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: If you've already said, hey, this is my last year.

536
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay again, you're mentally done. But did he say, hey,

537
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm excited all the things i'm gonna

538
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to do one last time.

539
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: I want to end with a super Bowl. This is

540
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: what you say right now.

541
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Granted you could mentally be, but this is the message

542
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: you put out there. You put out a message of

543
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: I am leading this team, I'm the bleeping quarterback, let's go,

544
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: and instead it's hey, man, I've played a long time.

545
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: Of course I'm gonna I'm exhausted right now just being

546
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: on the air with you.

547
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, he said he's playing for love and fun

548
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: and peace. He's playing because I'll tell you why he's playing.

549
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't want even though the end of last year

550
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: is probably as good as he could expect it to

551
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: go out, because the last few weeks he threw the

552
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. Yeah, when the Jets were out of contention,

553
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: you turn it. Hey, you turned out. Hey, look at

554
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: your year. Twenty eight touchdowns, four thousand yards. Hey, that's

555
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: not for a forty two year old.

556
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: That's not bad. That was supposed to be.

557
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: Hey, if you give me twenty eight eleven and four

558
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: thousand yards, Jets are gonna win thirteen fourteen games. It

559
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't the case because they they fell apart everywhere else.

560
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: But it didn't go well.

561
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 2: He got cut.

562
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: The Jets told him they didn't need him anymore. So

563
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to end that way. He wants to

564
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: try to control the ending, which you can't always do that,

565
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just have to realize that it ended

566
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: like this, and maybe if it wasn't the greatest ending,

567
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: but it might have been the right ending. Tom Brady

568
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: could have played another year. But if Brady falls off

569
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the clip, I didn't want to end that way. Okay,

570
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: it sucks to end in the playoffs losing a game,

571
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: and not everybody wants to end like Jordan making a

572
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: shot walking off the court. I've won championships. Everybody wants

573
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: end away, John Elway winning back to back walking off

574
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: the field. That's if people want that, you don't always

575
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: get it. And Rogers is simply trying to say, Okay,

576
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: these last two years, this hurt my legacy. Let me

577
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: just go one more just to see if it gets better.

578
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: And this is where it never goes well if you're

579
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: out there just for that, I mean your mental focus,

580
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: your preparation, your buying everything, your leadership, all of that,

581
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: because you just simply don't care anymore. Out you're out here. Hey,

582
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: I want to try to flip the ending of my narrative. Okay, great,

583
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: you can still sling it, but I could watch him

584
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: sling it last year and throw it when when the

585
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: rush gets too close to him, he throws the ball

586
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: away before his receivers even turn around. Everything is off

587
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: his back foot, does not want to get hit anymore,

588
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: does not want to stand in and deliver the football

589
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: like he used to. This is what I've seen from

590
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers suddenly just because it didn't end the way

591
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: you wanted. I'm gonna put all my money on ending

592
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: that way this year. It's not gonna happen. It just

593
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: doesn't happen because you change teams, right, maybe a lot.

594
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: He'll have some big moments. I'm sure he's still Rogers.

595
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: But overall, what last year that was as good as

596
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: it was gonna get for how he ended his card.

597
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: In the end, it's all about for him and for

598
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Do they get what they need out out

599
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: of the marriage. For the rest of us, we're just

600
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: gonna watch. If he's good, great. If he's bad, guess what.

601
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: The folks that hate him are gonna hate him even more.

602
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: For the folks that watched him flail with the Jets

603
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: and may have gotten a little bit of their hopes

604
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: up when he showed up before those three snaps and

605
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: then it all went to hell. Yeah, they're gonna be

606
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: mad too. Or they're gonna celebrate, I should say, his demise.

607
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: And for those that didn't like any of the other

608
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: stuff he had to say, you know, not related to football,

609
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: well they'll take a celebratory lap too. But they decided

610
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: to give it the old college try, and I dare

611
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: say that even at his worst, he's still better than

612
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: at least a third of the quarterbacks that will take

613
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: the opening snaps in Week one of the NFL season.

614
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but is he really?

615
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: The Jets won less games and I had with Zach

616
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: Wilson two years ago, like is he really?

617
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, is he a guy that's going to give

618

Speaker 1: Not gonna be winn they win, but that they win

620
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: because of Zach Wilson in spite of it. He's like

621
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: a lesser version of KD where I may give you

622
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of stats, but he's not going to

623
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: be in the win column. So I'm still throwing picks

624
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: and I'm throwing too many incomplete passes and I'm not

625
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: that guy.

626
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: Like also, you know better than that. He doesn't throw picks.

627
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: He throws it into the dirt.

628
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Okay, more into the dirt, not getting he's not making

629

Speaker 1: that into the third row anymore.

630
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,320

631
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh now that that was boy, that's a that's a

632
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: that's a what that's a shots fired right there? When

633
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: you could compare to brock Osweiler at the end.

634
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: This one's very very simple, guys, okay and very short. Yep,

Speaker 2: A good run.

637
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: I mean when when you are when this is how

638
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: you're talking, you are mentally retired already, which means you

639
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: should retire. That's it. If this is how you're talking,

640
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: now you're done. You're done playing. Man, it's not it's

641
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: not gonna go.

642
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: Well.

643
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to walk off the field, saying, man,

644
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: I was a jet, but Emmitt Smith had to walk

645
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: off field. Go man, I was a cardinal. So okay,

646
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: And we still talk about Emmett and the running out

647
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. Maybe sometimes decisions, Ay, control the ending

648
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: as much as you can, and then you have to

649
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: think about, all right, this is now. Now it's out

650
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: of his control. Now everything is out of his control.

651
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: So if he plays poorly, guess what this is not

652
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna be Mike Tomlin saying, well, we spent a lot
