1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio Hope, everybody. Welcome 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: to Fox Sports Sunday. I'm Bucket brook to on me 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: joined with Andy Furman later Great Sports Weekend. We're in 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: the middle of March Madness. March Madness isn't just for 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: the guys, It's for the ladies. The guys are trying 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: to break down getting into the Final four. We have 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: the ladies who are in the Elite eight, and what 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: we're going to see is a lot of good basketball. 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: Whether you like NBA college basketball, it doesn't matter. Everyone 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: loves and enjoys March Madness. I am sitting here fully 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: disappointed because my bracket has been absolutely blown to Smith Rens. 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: My beloved tar Heels are no longer in the tournament, 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: and I am trying to figure out how I'm going 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: to root for either Duke or NC State to go 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: to the Final four. Giving my allitiance to the tar 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: Heels is tough. It's a tough day for the tar Heels, 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: but it is a great day if you are a 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: Yukon fan. The defending nationals champion Yukon Huskies are continuing 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: to roll through the tournament. One of the more dominant 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: runs that we have seen. Last night, we saw them 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: absolutely dismantle a really good Illinois team, but Yukon just 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: takes them to the shed, beats them by twenty five points, 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: continues to roll. Danny Hurley looks like he has it 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: going with everything Yukon. And what I loved about Danny 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: Hurley's postgame comments. He talked about the obnoxiousness of the 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Yukon fans, how everyone has put a target on their back, 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: not only because they're defending national champs, but because Yukon 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: the brand and because of maybe the snewdiness of the 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: fan base, and they've embraced it and they love it. 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: And I think sports are better when we have a villain. 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: There's not a bigger villain in college basketball than the 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Yukon Huskies right now. So then we're gonna bringing my 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: guy Andy Furman. 34 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: Andy, Wait, wait just a minute. You had to bring 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: the term villain up and then you bring me in. 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: What is that? 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: Is there? 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: A carl? Oh? 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to Yeah, because I know you know 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: that part of it, like you kind of like playing 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: the bag at role, and so I just wanted to 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: make sure that I brought you in and set you 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: up nicely, you know, like like it's about putting people 44 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: in a role that they can flourish in, and I 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: know you kind of flourish as the villain. 46 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: I tell you what, it was a pretty nice intro. 47 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 2: And I just waited, but I didn't think you bring 48 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: me in like that. But that's okay, that's okay. You know, 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: let me just say one thing about this and the 50 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: point about the NCAA tournament. You know, I think and 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: maybe I'm mistaken here, maybe that there's no buzz. I'll 52 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: tell you why there's no Cinderella. And people make fun 53 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: about that all the time. They said, well, you know, yeah, 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: they're not gonna win. That's what it's all about. The 55 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: Loyola of Chicago when they had the sister on the sideline, 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: Saint Peter's, to some extent Oakland this year when they 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: beat Kentucky Florida Atlantic. You have to have some rooting interest. 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: And right now it's a domination tournament. I mean, you 59 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: could have picked early on that Connecticut was going to 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: go all the way or at least to the final four. 61 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: I mean Alabama's that's a strange one, okay. I mean 62 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: Alabama's the first time ever been to the Final four. 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: But maybe I'm way off base yet, but I've got 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 2: to believe there is no buzz, there is no excitement. 65 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: So because there is no Cinderella team. 66 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's because of a Cinerella team. 67 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: We don't really like Cinderella's the American viewer in public. 68 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: We like brand names. We like to know that the 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: blue bloods are going to be in the mix. I 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: would consider Yukon of blue bud given the fact that 71 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: they've won I think five national titles in the last 72 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five years, they deserve to be in those 73 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: conversations with Duke in Carolina and some of the other 74 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: dominant teams that we've seen in basketball, Kentucky would fall 75 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: into that category. I believe there's no buzz around the 76 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: tournament because there are no stars in college basketball. We 77 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: are conditioned to the best players very early go to 78 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: the NBA. And now what we have are a lot 79 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: of fourth, fifth, and six year players that are playing 80 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: that we don't expect to see in the NBA. And 81 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: because there's not that buzz, I think we're having a 82 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: harder time kind of following and recognizing who's who and 83 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: what's what in the college basketball landscape. And we've also, 84 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: i would say, maybe the negative part of the transfer portal. 85 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: We haven't had an opportunity to fall in love with 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: our favorite teams because every year our team is different. 87 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, and that's the reason why the 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: women's tournament to me is at least as popular, maybe 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: more so than the men's tournament. Why there's stars, There 90 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: were stars that you get a couple two things together 91 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong, stars and somewhat of a cinderella aspect 92 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: of a team that say, why where did they come from? 93 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: Where they located? And I think that's a big deal. Look, 94 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: we all know that the Cinderella team will never win it, 95 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: but the fact that they could make it deep into 96 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: the tournament, maybe not go off of blue blood, that's 97 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: a big deal. It creates buzz, greets, people talking about it. 98 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: And I remember when Saint Peter's beat Kentucky that was 99 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: a big deal with Saint Peter's college was Peter's University. 100 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: Whatever they are now, I don't know, but that's a 101 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: big deal. They don't have that now. I mean, where 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: is the I mean, let's go back and look at 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: the brackets, I mean, even in the elite eighth, don't 104 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 2: I don't see anybody that you consider maybe a team 105 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: that could be a Cinderella. Really maybe NC State maybe, 106 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: you know, because they were basically look for dead in 107 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: the in the a SEC tournament and then they won 108 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: five straight and five days and now they're coming on strong. 109 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: So maybe maybe NC State's one of those teams. Maybe 110 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, And then today will feed well I 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: think today. 112 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I think they would qualify, and I 113 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: think they do have a nice bandwagon that is filling 114 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: up with folks who are supporting them. When you're thinking 115 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: about the two DJs, they have big DJ Burns being 116 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: able to dominate on the inside. People have fallen in 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: love with him because he's a little bit of Zach 118 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Randolph that throwing it to him. He's commanding double teams 119 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and he is distributing the vaulved and it's been fun 120 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: to watch them kind of get on their run. But 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: I also think that we do love of dominant teams. 122 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: As much as we say that we hate them, we 123 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: love them because we love to tune in and either 124 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: wash them win or Washington fall. And that's where Yukon 125 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: is coming, because you will see over the next week 126 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: we will build them up to be the greatest team 127 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: that we've ever seen in college basketball. That will be 128 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: the conversation. Yeah, that would be the conversation over the 129 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: next four or five days. Is this the most dominant 130 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: team that we've ever seen in the tournament? Does Danny 131 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Hurley to Breler to be in the conversation with the 132 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: greatest coaches of all time? YadA, YadA, YadA. That will 133 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: be the conversation going into the final four. 134 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And we're quick when I say we media 135 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: people there quick to make people to go the best, 136 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: you know, put them on Mount Rushmore, whatever the we 137 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: want to be. You know, you got to like put 138 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: the brakes on just a little bit. I mean, they're 139 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: a real good team, Ukon. Not great competition for them 140 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: to play with it blowing teams out by twenty thirty points. 141 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: They had a thirty zero run yesterday. I mean that's 142 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: unheard of in basketball live alone, college or any basketball. 143 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: I mean, they just they just domin eight people. They're 144 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: deep in the bench and things like that. But you know, 145 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: greatest coach of all time not yet. I'm gonna wait 146 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: a little bit and I'll tell you why things are 147 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: gonna get maybe even worse. And I hate to be 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: doom and gloom here. I read a story just the 149 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: other day about the coach at at Oakland, Okay. And 150 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: Greg camp is the coach man here like forty years 151 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: he was there when they were a Division two school. 152 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: And he said that, look, after that big upset over 153 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: Kentucky in the first round, got a kid in the 154 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: name of Townshend, Trey Townsend. This kid, Tray Townsend, may 155 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: not return like next year. He's gonna look for like 156 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand dollars in nil. 157 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: So what does that mean. It means that the rich 158 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: are gonna get richer. A school like Oakland cannot afford 159 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: to pay a basketball player two hundred and fifty to 160 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars to play basketball. So Greg Campy 161 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: and the coach at Oakland says, you know, I'm afraid 162 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: that I'm gonna lose him. So what's gonna happen. It's 163 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: gonna happen that any school that has some sort of 164 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: a star is gonna go out there, going to the portal, 165 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: go for nil money, big time money. I don't blame him, 166 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: but that's the way the system is and it's not healthy. 167 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: So you may never see school like Oakland again playing 168 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: in the NT double A tournament. Why they can't pay 169 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: players like other schools can not fair? Not right. 170 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: Well, now you may see them for one year, but 171 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: it'll be hard to see them play back to back 172 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: years because teams are taking advantage of the small schools 173 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the mid majors and they're taking their kids. They're taking 174 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: their kids like the big schools are saying, oh man, 175 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: that's a great player at a small school. Let's pay 176 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: him to get him and pluck him. That's the way 177 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: that it's going. And until the NC DOUBLEA, until like 178 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: college athletics kind of gets a hold of the transient 179 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: nature of the players, the new infusion of money that's 180 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: going to those players and all of that, Yeah, the 181 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: landscape is going to be Look, it's gonna be up 182 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and down. I mean, it's gonna be a lot of 183 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: movement and it's gonna change how we've looked at college 184 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: athletics for a long time. But some of this stuff 185 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: is good. It definitely is impacting Mark Maddness though, because 186 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: We're seeing a different kind of tournament this year. Like 187 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: you talk about like the upsets and the favorites, I 188 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: would say there are not as many upsets because I 189 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: believe the parody is the same. I believe all these 190 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: teams are on the same level. Outside of Yukon, there 191 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: really wasn't a dominant team this year, Like there wasn't 192 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: a team that people were on that they could like 193 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: just kind of pencil in to the final four. And 194 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: I think sometimes the intrigue is good. We're just lacking 195 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: the star power that we grew accustomed to seeing back 196 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: in yesteryear. 197 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's so much free agency in college basketball 198 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: right now, which I think is crazy, and it's could 199 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: be like that all the time. I mean, look, I 200 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: don't know if the coaches are the ones that go 201 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: out and look in the portal, or it's a lums 202 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: that contact the coaches and say, look, we need to 203 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: get a center, we need to get a point guard. 204 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: Here's a blank check, go out there and get one. 205 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's healthy. I mean, it's 206 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: great for kids, it's you know, I'm sure that in 207 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: some manor way of form, you're saying to yourself. Man, 208 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: I kind of missed it. If I was playing football 209 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: right now, I could be making amend, right, you'd be 210 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: involved with the nil, I'm sure you. 211 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean like you missed out on that 212 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: part of it, like people moving around and shaking and yeah, 213 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: you talk about collectives now suddenly being involved in recruiting 214 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: and where people are going and all that stuff. But 215 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to hold coaches off the hook because 216 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: we have seen what four coaches leave for new jobs 217 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: less than a day after their teams were bounced in 218 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the tournament. Dusty May goes to Michigan. We've seen other 219 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: coaches already depart their programs. Look, right now, the landscape 220 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: is where everyone is looking out for themselves. And look, 221 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: it sends mixed messages to the young people and the 222 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: people that follow the game. But right now, in a 223 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: free enterprise, that's what you get. People are moving around 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of the better opportunities. And it 225 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: has definitely changed the way that we look at our 226 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,239 Speaker 1: college sports. 227 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 2: You know, you're exactly right, and it's never been It's 228 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: always been that way. Coaches always looking at better themselves. 229 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: They'll pack up, they'll go either they've been canned after 230 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: the season's over, or there's a better opportunity. May he's 231 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: played tripling a salary right now going to Michigan. I 232 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: get that. But when you talk about and people tell 233 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: me all the time, well, you know, if the coaches 234 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: do what the players can do it, yeah, players can 235 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: and they have in the past, but that had to 236 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 2: sit out of years and they made a little more difficult. 237 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: What's happening is right now is that they are moving 238 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: around like free agents. They're gaining money. And I have 239 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 2: no problem with them getting paid because they bring in 240 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: so many things for the university, admission, merchandising, exposure, whatever 241 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: it may be. However, the fact is that it hurts 242 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: the game because if guys bounce around from team to team. 243 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 2: You got a kid in your school in North Carolina, 244 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: I think he's played for seven different schools. He's like 245 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: twenty seven years of age. I mean, it's not right. 246 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: It's just not healthy for the game. And I believe 247 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: that's why some of these coaches, like the Jay Wrights 248 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: of the world, that packed up and left this. Look, 249 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: I don't want it. I don't want to get involved 250 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: with this anymore. I don't want to be involved with 251 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: nil I want to get a player to come with me, 252 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: and they say they want to use the word culture 253 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: to build a culture. You can't build a culture when 254 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 2: there's free agency with a portal away. 255 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: I mean. 256 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: And that's why there's more pressure on coaches because you know, normally, 257 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: if you're a college basketball coach, it gave you two 258 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: three years, get your recruiting classes and see if you win. 259 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: If you don't win, then then you fired. Now you 260 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: better win like now because you can get a new 261 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: team next year. You could clear out the bench against 262 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: five new guys next year. 263 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, it's more challenging for coaches than ever. 264 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: But coaches have always had the ability to say do 265 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: as I say, not as I do, because for so 266 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: long coaches would talk about loyalty in those things and 267 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: then they would leave in the eleventh hour of the 268 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: night and go to a new program for better money, 269 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: more opportunity. Will players have that same thing. It is 270 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: now on coaches to make sure that they build solid 271 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: relationships with the kids that they coach, because regardless of 272 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: the money and all that other stuff, kids are primarily 273 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: standing to people, staying with people that they have solid 274 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: relationship with If the money is nearly, if it's close, 275 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: they're staying there. But you're always going to have those 276 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: kids that are in their families that are chasing the bag. 277 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: And what you have to decide very early on as 278 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: a coach, do I want those kind of kids in 279 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: our program? Because if you're not willing to deal with 280 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: those kinds of kids, then you have to focus on 281 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: the other kids who are good kids may not be 282 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: as talented, but they allow you to build a better team. 283 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: That's where you're going to really focus on if you're 284 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the good coaches now is how do the pieces of 285 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: the puzzle fit? Who are the guys that appear to 286 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: have the right stuff to be around. Yes they have 287 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: to pay them, but in their heart of hearts, they 288 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: still want to be a part of the team. And 289 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: it's not so much of a me centric focus. It's 290 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: still about the weed while you're getting paid and taking 291 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: care of your family and others who may need that right. 292 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: And I think there's a segment of players in college 293 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: basketball who maybe will recruited. Coach comes into the house, 294 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: sits on the couch to mom and pop and talk 295 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: to the kid and says everything the last thing, you know, 296 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: he's gone the next day. However, a lot of those 297 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: kids are coming in, and maybe they're not leaving for 298 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: the money. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. 299 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 2: Maybe they're leaving because I haven't been playing much. They 300 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: want more playing time. There's a possibility there too. You know, 301 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: player exes on the bench, he thought he'd be playing. 302 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: He thinks he's better than some of the guys that 303 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: are starting, and he's got an opportunity to go in 304 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: the portal and play and maybe then maybe make some money, 305 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: but at least he's gonna play. 306 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, the thing about some of that, some guys 307 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: are just leaving and running from competition. They're running from 308 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: the hard stuff. Because what you're also having is you're 309 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: having a bunch of guys that jump into the portal 310 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: and they're just languishing in the portal, and their dreams 311 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: die in the portal. They end up playing at lesser 312 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: levels of competition, right because they thought the grass was greener, 313 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: and they find out that they are not what they 314 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: think they are, and it's disappointing. They walk away from 315 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: I would say, scholarships, and no one talks about this 316 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: becauege athletics anymore, scholarships and education opportunities to go chase 317 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: the bag. And sometimes it doesn't work out for every 318 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: one transfer where it's positive, they're three or four other 319 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: guys that it doesn't work out for. So as bad 320 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: as we talk about it being on the coaches, it's 321 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: really bad on those families because some guys and some 322 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: families have an overinflated view of their kid and what 323 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: it does is at least to poor decisions and decisions 324 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: that really alter their futures. 325 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. You're right, but you know what's 326 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: still in all I think it needs to be fixed. 327 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a perfect world out there in 328 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: college basketball or football with the nil. Yes, they should 329 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: get paid, there's going to be maybe a limit, maybe 330 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: a salary cap. I don't know how to do it. 331 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: It wasn't my idea, and thank goodness it wasn't because 332 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: I don't think it's working. And I think that if 333 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: you were to ask the people who put this thing together, 334 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: they're kind of scratching their head, say I didn't think 335 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: it would be like this. I'm sure they're saying. 336 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: That, yeah, well, look it was going to have to 337 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: happen because all of the cases that are in court, 338 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: the NCAA is about to lose with anti trust stuff 339 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: in a major way, and so they reluctantly created a system. 340 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: If they had partnered with the players and come up 341 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: with a system that was in place that was fair 342 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: for everybody, it would have worked out. But right now, 343 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: greed has led to the system that we certainly had, 344 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: like the greed of college athletics administrators and coaches and 345 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: the universities and leaving the laborers the players out, and 346 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: now that the players are beginning to collect money, is 347 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: disrupted the system because it wasn't one that was bargain 348 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: or negotiated for, and so you don't have the checks 349 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: and balances to make sure that it's a level playing 350 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: field for everybody. And it'll continue to be messing for 351 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: the next few years, but at some point it'll even 352 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: out because the litigation the courts are going to decide 353 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: and determine how this plays out. And it's too bad 354 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: that THEA could have been on the front end, but 355 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: now they're having to play catch up and they're having 356 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: to be reactive to a situation they really could have 357 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: been rectified or corrected from the start. 358 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: And I remember what Gordon Geko said. Greed is good. 359 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: Greed is good, all right, and so is Bucky Brooks. 360 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks is good as well.

Yeah, let's do it, everybody. 400 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: Let's to talk about gill at the green cabbage, whoever 401 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: it may be. All right, now back in twenty twenty four, 402 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: right now, this year, in twenty twenty four, the minimum 403 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: salary for NFL player is and will be eight hundred 404 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars. Not bad, not bad really. Now. 405 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: The UFL started this past weekend spring football. If you 406 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 2: play in the UFL and you get eight hundred twenty 407 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, it's like winning the lottery. Because this year, 408 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: active UFL players will earn five hundred bucks per game, 409 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: per week, per game, okay, well, fifty five thousand dollars 410 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: if they played the entire season, plus maybe some bonuses, 411 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: who knows, I may be twenty care money, housing, whoever, 412 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: it may be. That that's just the way it is USFL. 413 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: Going back to what it's like. So I'm just saying 414 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 2: that if you're a football player, it's all not glory. 415 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough, it really is. USFL in twenty 416 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty twenty three, fifty seven hundred bucks per 417 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: week XFL twenty twenty three, five thousand dollars a week, 418 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: one thousand dollars owners for each win. All right, XFL 419 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, seven hundred and forty nine bucks a 420 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: week the Alliance of American Football back in twenty nineteen, 421 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: seven thousand per week. So it's not all glory, and 422 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 2: sometimes you gotta work hard to get to the big, big, 423 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: big money, and that's what happens. So you know you 424 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 2: want to play football. You look at these guys on TV, say, hey, 425 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: big money. Not UFL making five thousand, five hundred dollars, 426 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: which isn't bed. It's not bad, but I think they're 427 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: doing that obviously to climb up the ladder eventually get 428 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 2: a call from the NFL. 429 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think what you're trying to do 430 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: when you made those decisions to play in these other leagues, 431 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: like you're just hoping to extend your opportunity to play. 432 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: You're hoping that someone will see you and provide you 433 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: with the chance, and you're trying to gather film. You're 434 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of an opportunity to just keep 435 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: the light on. And so fifty five hundred dollars a week, 436 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: fifty five thousand dollars for two and a half months 437 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: of work. Look for some of those guys, they will 438 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: say that it's worth it because it doesn't prevent you 439 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: from steel chasing dreams to play in the NFL, because 440 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: you can finish that season then have an opportunity to 441 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: go to camp and those things. And if you're young 442 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: enough and you don't have anything going on, why not 443 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: why not fully exhaust the dream before you have to? 444 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: I would say join civilian life. Like I'm all about 445 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: being a dream chaser, and if that gives you an 446 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: opportunity to continue to pursue something that you really love 447 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: and really want to do, man, you should do it. 448 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: Here we go, I've done. Speaking of dream chaser, I 449 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: think one of them is Michael Pennix junior. He's one 450 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: of several quarterbacks right now in college trying to take 451 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: several top thirty visits with interested teams. And I want 452 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: to know why. Okay, he had a great college career, 453 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: but he's got some baggage in the sense that he 454 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: had two ACL tears. He's a little older than most, 455 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: he's twenty three years of age. But he's visiting the Giants, 456 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: the Falcons, the Raiders, the Broncos, the Steelers. Why so 457 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: many teams? Number one? Why even the Steelers? They just 458 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: signed another quarterback what's the story with Michael PENNOCKX junior. 459 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: Is he ready to play in the NFL? Is he 460 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: a risk because of injuries in age? 461 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a risk because of injuries and age. 462 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: I think is something that you have to do. You 463 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: do dieligence on and I would say that you want 464 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: to mitigate the risks that you have with any prospect 465 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: with him, but maybe not draft him in the first round. 466 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: Maybe draft him in the second round so you don't 467 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: have as much as money invested in the player. The 468 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: player itself, though, is a fantastic prospect. He is worthy 469 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: of being considered with the top quarterbacks based on the 470 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: body of work and particularly what he's done the last 471 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: two years at Washington. The reason why you see so 472 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: many visits there are a lot of people that are 473 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: interested in the talent and they're trying to gauge, Okay, 474 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: what's real, what's not? What do our doctors think? How 475 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: is the all? Does that fit in if we do 476 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: bring him in, how's he fit in the locker room? 477 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: Where can we kind of slot him in as a 478 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: QB one, QB two, all of those things. So you 479 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: should look do your due diligence if you're a team 480 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: in need of a quarterback, and as you mentioned the 481 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, you never turned down an opportunity to get 482 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: to know these quarterback prospects because either you want them 483 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: or you're going to play against them, and that intel, 484 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: that information that you kind of gather from them on 485 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: these visits can certainly help you down the road. Either 486 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: you bring them onto your team or you have to 487 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: face them, so you just want to know about them. 488 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the Atlanta Falcons for a second. 489 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: They just sign up Kirk Cousins a four year deal 490 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: one hundred eighty million dollars. Okay, he's going to be 491 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: the number one guy. They're got to get the eighth 492 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 2: pick overall in the draft, and everybody says they've got 493 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 2: to get like an edge rusher. Probably then they don't 494 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: pick again to like I think the forty third pick, 495 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 2: and I think that's where maybe Penix could still might 496 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: be available and maybe they get him. You know, look, 497 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 2: this Kirk Cousins is no kid, and he's coming off 498 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 2: an injury as well. Maybe you want to get a 499 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 2: good backup and Penix could be the guy. I don't know, 500 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: but I was kind of scratching my head when I'm 501 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: seeing all these teams with somewhat of an interest with 502 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: Michael PENNOCKX Junior, especially the Steelers who now of Russell 503 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: Wilson and Justin Fields. 504 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you always like good teams are always looking. You're 505 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: always looking to upgrade your ross. You never satisfied. You 506 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: don't just you know, mel it in and say, oh 507 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: we're good, this team, this ross is complete. We don't 508 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: need to do anything else. You always owe it to 509 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: the franchise to be looking to build the best team, 510 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: the best program that you can build, and so I 511 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: understand why they continue to search it. I actually applaud 512 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: them because this is how you're supposed to go about 513 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: your business. You're not supposed to leave any rocks unturned, 514 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: and so that's what they're doing and they should be 515 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: commended for that. 516 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: Okay, my next question is this. I get it that 517 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: the teams are somewhat interested. You can never have you know, 518 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: enough quarterbacks injury wise, back up whatever it may be. 519 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: But is it wise for Penix to visit all these teams? 520 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: Could that hurt him? He'd be better off. You know, 521 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: a lot of these guys don't even go to their 522 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 2: pro days. I mean sometimes you just have your stats, 523 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: leave it the way it is, and you know, if 524 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: you want to draft me, draft me rather than keep 525 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: on going out and kind of these many tryouts. 526 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. See, Now the difference is like a Top thirty 527 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: visit is not a workout. A visit is just what 528 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: it says like, you go, you have dinner, You're in 529 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: the facility for thirty for a four to twenty four hours. 530 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you get a chance to spend a full 531 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: day with the team. They get to meet with you, 532 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: all the coaches get to meet with you. You're not tested 533 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's really a meet and greet session. 534 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: And what you have to understand for most of these teams, 535 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: they've never really had an opportunity to really sit down 536 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: with the player to really get to know them. The 537 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: only time that you have to interact with players at 538 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: the end of the season, like once the season is done, 539 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: if you meet them at an All Star game, if 540 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: you have a visit with them at the combine. Those 541 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: meetings are maybe fifteen minutes of pop when you see 542 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: them at a pro day. Normally, if you're really interested 543 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: in them, you have a dinner to night before, then 544 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: you see them at the Pro Day, and then this 545 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: Top thirty visit, which is another twenty four hours. So 546 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, maybe you're making a million a multimillion 547 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: dollar decision on about forty eight hours of engagement and interaction. 548 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: That's hard to do and so that's why these visits 549 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: are important for the teams, because you're trying to get 550 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: to know the player as well as you can in 551 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: the limited time that you're given to really develop a 552 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: familiarity with them. 553 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: I got you in all right. He's Bucket Brooks and 554 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: Andy Furman. This is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Rado.

The new UFL Spring Football League 601 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 5: has nothing to do with the old UFL that existed 602 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 5: what like fifteen years ago as a merger of the 603 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 5: USFL XFL.

Now, this 608 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: is a strange request. We'll explain that in just about 609 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: a minute. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. We are 610 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. Have the asked 611 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: Bucky in about seven eight minutes from now. And it's 612 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: kind of a crazy story, but I gotta run it 613 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: by you because you got to help me out here. 614 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: I don't get it. I just look at rules and 615 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: I say, why are these rules? They are? And what's happening. 616 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: There's a freshman All American, Hannah Hidalgo. She was forced 617 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: to take her nosering out in the middle of the 618 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: Notre Dame loss to Oregon State Friday seventy sixty five. 619 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: That was in the sweet sixteen. Okay, why game officials 620 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: enforced an NCAA rule prohibiting jewelry during games. All right, 621 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: all right, the decision came as a surprise to Aidalgo 622 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: and the coach of notjed Dame and those on the NOTJ. 623 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: Dame bench. Why, of course, Hidalgo has played with a 624 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: nose ring the entire season, including the first two NCUBA 625 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: tournament games. All right, so this is crazy, it really is. 626 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Now. 627 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: In the postgame interview, the Doglas said one official told 628 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: her that she could wear the nose ring as long 629 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: as she covered it up, but at the end of 630 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 2: the first quarter, her Doga was told the nose ring 631 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 2: how to be removed or she couldn't play in the game. 632 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: All right. 633 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: She missed like four or five minutes of the game 634 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: in the second quarter, and the train has struggled to 635 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: get the ring out, okay, And she said that the 636 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: trainers didn't know how to take it out and her 637 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: nose was bleeding as a result. And she was given 638 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 2: no explanation why the officials changed her course during the game, saying, 639 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: you got to have it in and take it out. 640 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: I don't understand it. Look, I watch NFL games players 641 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 2: wear changed. I couldn't even lift all right, what about 642 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: NCAA football players they weren't change. What is happening? Why 643 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: can't you wear a nose ring? And she wore it 644 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: all season long, and she wore for the first two 645 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: games in the NCUBAA tournament. Am I pushing something that's 646 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: really crazy? I just don't understand why one day it's good, 647 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: one day it's bad. What is happening here? With rules? 648 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: So there's always kind of been a rule when it 649 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: came to jeury in those things, and a lot of 650 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: it is not for the opponent, is really to protect 651 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: the player, and so andy when it comes to ear 652 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: rings and jury in those things, particularly we're talking about 653 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: the nose ring. What they're trying to prevent is an 654 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: opponent hitting her in the nose and having the nose 655 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: ring rip and tear her nose where she's bleeding and 656 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: doing things just like if I had ear rings in 657 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: there're sometimes you have rules like hey man, don't wear 658 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: ear rings because like people can tug them and pull 659 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: them out and then like it split your ear lobes 660 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: in those things, and so it's supposed to be a 661 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: preventive measure. I would say that I can understand her 662 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: confusion because some officials let it slide and what all 663 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: players and what everyone wants are consistency, and those rules 664 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: are in place. Some officials choose to govern a little 665 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: stricter than others. But if the rules were in place, 666 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: the coach should have known that, and then the player 667 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: should know because the officials will tell you that before 668 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: the game, like a coach. Here's the situation. Because they 669 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: do uniform check and expection, they make sure everyone is 670 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: properly equipped in those things. That's the conversation that the 671 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: officiers should have had with the coach before the game. 672 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: And if the coach should have relayed that information to 673 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: the player, so they wouldn't have had that, they wouldn't 674 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: have had the confusion in the middle of the contest. 675 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 2: Have you seen anything like this when you played in 676 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: your playing days with uniforms or jewelry or anything like that, 677 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 2: players weren't jewelry and toul to remove it. 678 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen. I mean, look, I've seen it happen 679 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: in high school. I mean it's not the same as college, 680 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, like they have you remove stuff, like there's 681 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: certain things that you can't do with the EyeBlack, you know, 682 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: like the eye black that is supposed to take away 683 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: the glare. You can't have it smeared all over your 684 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: face in high school. Now, some officials don't care about it, 685 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: but others, particularly when you get into the postseason, when 686 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: you have the best of the best officiating the game. Oh, 687 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: they will absolutely point out those things or uniform violations. 688 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: Your jersey's tucked in and you know, your socks and 689 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: the extra wrist bands and all those bands. Yeah, their 690 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: rules and restrictions, like their protocols, And what you try 691 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: to do is you try to eliminate all that stuff 692 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: before it even gets to the officials. He as a coach. 693 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: I mean, somebody should be responsible for making sure that 694 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: everyone looks the part that everyone is, you know, properly 695 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: equipped in those things. And whether we like it or not, 696 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: and whether we agree with the rules, that's a different thing. 697 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: But if the rules are in place, you have to 698 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: abuye by the rules. 699 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that because I'm sure you know 700 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: this film. My buddy David Fulcher, who played for the Bengals. Okay, 701 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 2: David Fulcher had a job for years. He'd stay on 702 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 2: the sidelines during the home game, right, I mean, make 703 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: sure your jersey's tucked in and with the same color socks. 704 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: So I guess there is something like that. I'll tell 705 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: you a funny story about David Fulcher. Back in the day. 706 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: I was working in TV at the time and the 707 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: NBC affiliate in Cincinnati. I was told that the Bengals 708 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: drafted David Fultuer. I don't think you could do this today. 709 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 2: I called up the airlines to find out what flight 710 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: he was on so our TV station would get to scoop. 711 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 2: All right, you can't do that today, there's no way 712 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: with security. So I found out what he was coming in. 713 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: I found out what the hotel he was at, went 714 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: to the hotel, knocked on the door, opened the door, 715 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 2: and he says, who the hell are you? And I said, 716 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 2: who I want but the bank and we got a 717 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: TV interview and ever since that time we become pretty 718 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 2: good friends, David Folter and I. But he was doing 719 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: that job on the sidelines. I don't know if he 720 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 2: still does it, but I remember he would report people 721 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 2: of the uniform police. So you're right about it. I've 722 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 2: just just dawned on me. 723 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, and Andy, you're you're very aggressive when it comes 724 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: to breaking news in storytime. 725 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 2: You can't do it. Can you imagine calling an airline 726 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 2: came out. You get on the phone, now call an 727 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 2: airline to say what flight is Bucky Brooks on, then 728 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 2: hang up on you. You can't do it with security 729 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 2: right now, there's no way. But back in the day 730 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 2: you could do it. It was great. He told me 731 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 2: he was on this flight, so okay, I'll be down 732 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: there now. I met him, found what hotel he's at, 733 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: and got into his room. But not today. You can't 734 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 2: even get into the hotel, let alone the airline. You 735 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 2: couldn't get into the hotel today. 736 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: You absolutely cannot nor should you be able to get 737 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: to the hotel. The doors and no where everyone is. 738 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a much different time when it comes 739 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: to that kind of stuff with security or whatever. But 740 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: the uniform police is real and there guys to this 741 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: day that are still doing that checking uniforms, making sure 742 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: everyone is properly equipped, making sure they adhere to the 743 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: NFL standards when it comes to the uniform. 744 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 2: It's funny, I just found this out right now, you're 745 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 2: one thousand percent correct. Bucket Brooks. The Anti DOUBLEA released 746 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 2: his statement that over here it said that it's a 747 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 2: rule rule one section twenty five Autical seven head decorations, headwear, helmets, 748 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: and jewelry are illegal. If a player is found to 749 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 2: be wearing Julie Antiuba, rules state the player is required 750 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: to remove it at the first dead ball and cannot 751 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: return until they have to remove So, you're right, the 752 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: coaches probably should have known about that, you know, Yeah, 753 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 2: lost play. 754 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have known about that. And even to 755 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: your point when you talk about like college players and 756 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: stuff like that, Marvin Harrison Junior may have won to 757 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: watch during the game or like slipped it on because 758 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: I know people made a big deal about that at 759 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: one point. You now, you can't have those things, and 760 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: if the officials knew that, they're directed to pull them 761 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: out the game and tell them to take that off 762 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: until and he can't come back in until all this 763 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: suffers removed. 764 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: Now I have an extra thing to watch when I 765 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: watch games on TV, to see what kind of jewelry 766 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 2: they're wearing, the fat they are. That's what I'm gonna do. 767 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 2: I will I'm gonna keep marking it down. That's what 768 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 2: I'll do.

All right, 775 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Travis kelcey to have a steakhouse.

I gonna ask you, Bucky Brooks, 778 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 2: is it healthy for active teammates to engage in a 779 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 2: business venture. I mean, honestly, what if someone complains about 780 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 2: the Andy Richiesburger. I think there could be some conflicts here. 781 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: I don't think it's such a healthy move. What do 782 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 2: you think? 783 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think you have to be careful 784 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: going into business with your friends because they can ruin 785 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: their relationship. The only thing that I will say is 786 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes has some successful business ventures. I think Travis 787 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: Kelsey also has done some things independently, and maybe they 788 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: have the acumen wherewithal and the solid friendship and business 789 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: partnership to be able to make it. 790 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: Happen sounds good to me. Now, if you are the 791 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 2: commissioner of Major League Baseball, how would you, Bucky Brooks 792 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 2: handle the Shoheia Tani situation. 793 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: Well, you have to really investigate it because you don't 794 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: want your best player involved in anything that look puss 795 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: the game in a negative life. There already some squeamish 796 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: stomachs when it comes to sports and their intertwining of 797 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: sports and sports gambling. When you have a big star 798 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: like Otani, uh, you just have to investigate it and 799 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 1: make sure as well as you can to no links 800 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: between Otani and his involvement in the gamli that it 801 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: was all of the interpreter's stuff on his own. 802 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 2: As an aside, do you think that perhaps Otani was 803 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 2: giving him the money to gamble with that money rather 804 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 2: than saying the money was stolen from him? Do you? 805 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 2: How do you not realize four million plus dollars was 806 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 2: stolen from your account? Really? 807 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: When you have a lot when you have a lot 808 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: of money, depending on what accounts it's in, I mean, 809 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, I would assume that a player like Otani 810 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: probably has a regular checking and savings, but all of 811 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: his millions are not into checking and savings. Accounts, then 812 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: investment portfolios and others safe havens for money, and maybe 813 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: he just didn't know. He wasn't aware when you have 814 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: that much, I mean, we talked about the deal. He 815 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: just he's just signed. When you have so much money, 816 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you can lose sight of a couple of million dollars. 817 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 2: Well, I guess all right, speaking of Otani and the 818 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 2: situation Pete roast that are last week, if he had 819 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 2: an interpreter, he'd be in the Hall of Fame. Do 820 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 2: you agree? 821 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you know. Here's the thing. I think 822 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: Peek Pete Road should be in the Hall of Fame, 823 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: regardless of the stuff that he has been accused of 824 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: doing or victed of doing, or whatever it is. I 825 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: think he should be in Hall of fame because what 826 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: he did on the field is worthy of being a 827 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: guy that's celebrated, is one of the best ever do it. 828 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. 829 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: Okay. 830 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 2: Your biggest surprise to date in the NTAA men's tournament. 831 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: I think the biggest surprise is how NC State has 832 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: been able to sustain their momentum from the ACC tournament. 833 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: This was a team that was left for dead. They 834 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 1: were struggling getting into the had lost four in a 835 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: row going into the ACC tournament, and then they caught 836 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: fire and they've been able to during that run not 837 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: only continue to maintain the momentum, but they found an 838 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 1: identity that works for them. Wait, this is a big 839 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: deal for them to be in an elite eight with 840 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: an opportunity to knock off Duke. I mean, they've beaten 841 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 1: Duke in AC Tournament. They knocked off Carolina for NC State, 842 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: this is everything. If they knock off Duke to go 843 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: to the final four, this would be one of the 844 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: greatest seasons that they've ever been a part of. 845 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 2: And I can't believe you're talking in such glowing terms 846 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: of NC State a kind of an arch enemy of yours. 847 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: I mean, really getting him a lot of credit. Give 848 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 2: me some love. 849 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's hard for me. I can't say anything. 850 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: At some point State or Duke is going to the 851 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: final four. I can't prevent it. So I just have 852 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: to accept it. And it is what it is right 853 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: now for me. Andy, there you. 854 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 2: Go, all right, I tell you I got one more, biggie, 855 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 2: but I'll hold that until after the top of the hour, 856 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: because you're running against the clock, right now he is 857 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks and Andy Furman. Bucky has an early surprise 858 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 2: for next year's Super Bowl and more. Where next, I'm 859 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. 860 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: Stay with us.

And Bucky Brooks, I want to touch 870 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 2: back a little bit on this NCAA tournament if I may. 871 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: You showed a lot of love Tanacy Staton. Certainly they 872 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: deserve so it's coming from a tar heel, which is 873 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 2: kind of crazy. But one thing they asked you the 874 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: question John Calipari. He's going to return for season number 875 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 2: sixteen University of Kentucky. Last week Kentucky fired the women's coach, 876 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 2: but Calipari's coming back. Is that a shock to you? 877 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 2: To me, I guess to some extent that is. But 878 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 2: he's got something like a thirty five million dollar buyout 879 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 2: and I'll over signed that contract should be gone. Not 880 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: John Calipari. 881 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, people gonna say a lot about 882 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: Cali Parker. Caler Pari has certainly been good for Kentucky basketball. 883 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the amount of winning they 884 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: do done since he's been there. If they were struggling, 885 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: they were up and down. John Cayler party coming. And 886 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't won as many titles as they 887 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 1: would like him to win. But I think in basketball, 888 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: it's hard to judge people off really a six game 889 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 1: run in the tournament. We have seen how topsy turvy 890 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament has been. March Madness is a unique adventure, 891 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: and look, it's not built for every team to be 892 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: able to thrive and flourish in those moments. He's done 893 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: a really good job throughout a time. He's talked about 894 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: the amount of pros that they've gotten. But I would 895 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: say maybe the formula that he's used in the blueprint 896 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: that he's used in recent years to one and done's 897 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: that might be hard to win in today's climate, just 898 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: because the older teams are the ones that are really 899 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: whipping people. And I just don't know if you can 900 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: win an NCAA tournament with so much youth and an 901 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: experience in your key positions. 902 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think coaches have caught up to his idea 903 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 2: of the want and done. You know, I think we 904 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 2: really upset a lot of the alums, a lot of 905 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 2: people in and around the Commonwealth of Kentucky. After Kentucky 906 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 2: lost to Oakland Is at his news conference, he wasn't 907 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 2: taking it, wasn't taking responsibility. He was saying that how 908 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 2: all his graduates are making so much money in the 909 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 2: pros and whatever it may be. People don't care. Alums 910 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 2: don't care. Theyn't want to see people do well. We're 911 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 2: in the Kentucky uniform, not an NBA team uniform. And 912 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 2: he kind of pushed it aside and saying, well, you know, 913 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 2: my graduates are going to the NBA, who are prepping 914 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 2: them for the NBA. I don't think people really want 915 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 2: to hear that they want to win and win now. 916 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 2: But it was good. I mean, as far as you 917 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 2: know his psychology is concerned, it was great. He kind 918 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 2: of pushed it off his responsibility and blamed it on 919 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 2: other things and said, look, it's not my fault. They're 920 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 2: making good money in the NBA. And there we go. 921 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 2: So he's back, and I think, as you say, he's 922 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: done a good job there. And you can't judge a 923 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 2: guy on a tournament. You just can't do it. And 924 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 2: speaking of the tournament, there's some talk now they want 925 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 2: to expand it, maybe to ninety eight teams. I'm not 926 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 2: for that. I'm really not. As much as I love 927 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 2: basketball and college basketball, you know, it's like getting the 928 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 2: participation trophy in little league. I mean, come, I everybody 929 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 2: shouldn't go. It's not fair everybody. Really, no, it's not. 930 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 1: It's not for everybody. And it's been it's definitely been 931 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: a different uh thing to expand one, for it to 932 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: go from sixty four to sixty eight and and those things. 933 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 1: At some point you're like, man, okay, how many how 934 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,240 Speaker 1: many more teams can we add to the mix? Everyone 935 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: can't go, uh to the tournament. I like the interest. 936 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: I know they're talking about the money and the automatic bids, 937 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: and so many guys that are not that are so 938 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: many teams that are being left out because of the 939 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: they call them the bid steelers, the teams that are 940 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: winning the tournaments and they're they're not accounted for kind 941 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: of messing up. But I mean, that's that's that's what 942 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: it is. That's part of the fun and watching college 943 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: basketball is that once you get the March and you 944 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: get to the conference tournaments and to the March Madness, 945 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: the NC Double A Tournament, anything goes. And you know 946 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like having their coaching fate 947 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: and things hen to those kinds of things. 948 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna get personally with you. Have you checked 949 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 2: your bracket challenge? The Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge? 950 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: I had to quit looking at it. 951 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 2: I haven't even looked, so, I mean, if anybody has 952 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 2: checked it out, they could let me know where Bucky 953 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 2: Brooks Rice stand on that. So I know I didn't 954 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: do well, but I can't believe anybody has really done 955 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: excellent in that. It's just so difficult to get beat 956 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 2: up so early on. But I don't think I did 957 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 2: well at all. But so we move on to football 958 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 2: because that's your expertise. Although you're a genius in all sports, 959 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 2: you really are, Bucky Brooks really the player to Scout, 960 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 2: the coach and writer for NFL dot Com this week, 961 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 2: a true Super Bowl contender for twenty twenty four, and 962 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 2: you mentioned the Green Bay Packers. I was a little 963 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 2: bit shocked on that. And you talked about Jordan Love 964 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 2: the Jordan Love led Packers, And after I read that, 965 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 2: my first thought was just think, Aaron Rodgers is going 966 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 2: to pick this up and read this. What do you 967 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 2: think Aaron Rodgers is saying after reading this, the Jordan 968 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 2: Love led Packers could be a true Super Bowl contender 969 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. What do you think Aaron Rodgers' 970 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:03,760 Speaker 2: remarks would. 971 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: Be, Look, he shouldn't be focused on the Packers since 972 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 1: he's went the Jets. But this team has gotten better 973 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: without Aaron Rodgers because as great as Aaron Rodgers was 974 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: as a four time MVP, he was holding him back 975 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,959 Speaker 1: from some of the development of their younger players. Aaron 976 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 1: Rodgers liked who he liked on the perimeter. He liked 977 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,280 Speaker 1: older guys who he could trust, who he had established 978 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: a rapport with, and those It was great when Davante 979 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: Adams was there. When you know Jordan Nelson and Ronald 980 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: Cobb and James Jones were there like it was a 981 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: great run, but at some point those guys age out 982 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: where they're no longer effective, particularly based on the production 983 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: doesn't match to compensation. To continue to pay Aaron Rodgers 984 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: where they were paying them, they needed to infuse the 985 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: room with a bunch of young players. He didn't come 986 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: to the offseason workouts before his final season with the 987 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: young players, and then was mad when Christian Watson and 988 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: those guys weren't on the same page. And so the 989 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 1: French guys knew that they would never be able to 990 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 1: develop their young players with Annon Rodgers in the building, 991 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 1: so they remove him. He gets traded away. He was 992 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: happy and fine to do that, and now they have 993 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: a young quarterback in Jordan Love who has a better 994 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: report with the younger players, and they're playing with a 995 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 1: bunch of look first and second year players on a 996 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: perimeter and having success and that success should grow going 997 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: into this year because it's a better overall team. Yeah. 998 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look, he can be upset, but like he 999 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of held them back with his attitude, with his 1000 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: own philosophy when it came to who he wanted to 1001 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: throw the ball to on the perimeter. 1002 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 2: I'm reading there's an NFL dot com which you put 1003 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 2: up there every Friday, and it's tremendous. I didn't know. 1004 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 2: This is unbelievable because I don't think Green Bay got 1005 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 2: the respect or Jordan Love didn't get the respect that 1006 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 2: he should have. After I read this back half of 1007 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 2: the schedule. Last year, he led the Green Bay package, 1008 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 2: who was six and two record. He said he played 1009 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: like an MVP candidate. Look completed over seventy percent of 1010 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,439 Speaker 2: his passes, twenty one hundred and fifty yards, two hundred 1011 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 2: sixty eight game, eighteen touchdowns, one I int and added 1012 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: another two scores on the ground. And of course we 1013 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 2: knew about what happened on the Super Bowl wild Card weekend. 1014 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 2: They beat up the Cowboys pretty good forty eight to 1015 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 2: thirty two, and really and truly this team really developed 1016 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 2: and blossomed at that point in time. I watched that 1017 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 2: playoff game beating the Cowboys because everybody was thinking, maybe 1018 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 2: it's not Green Bay as much as the Cowboys just 1019 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 2: can't get it done. But it is Green Bay, And 1020 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,240 Speaker 2: you're saying right now they're a legitimate Super Bowl contended 1021 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 2: for next year, although I do question trading their running 1022 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 2: back Aaron Jones. 1023 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: You know, I don't question that at all. I mean, 1024 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones has been beat up, he had been hurt 1025 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,359 Speaker 1: the last few years, and I would say they got 1026 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: to upgrade in a position in Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs 1027 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: an NFL rushing champion. Josh Jacobs is someone that when 1028 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: the defense lines up to prepare the game plan for him, 1029 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: they have to take him away. That means more one 1030 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: on one opportunities for Jordan Love in the backfield, more 1031 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: big play opportunity of these off playfakes and where you 1032 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: lure the linebackers up to the line and he's able 1033 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: to take shots down to field. To me, this is 1034 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 1: a completely different look for the Green Bay Packers because 1035 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: of their running game and their running game being legit. 1036 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: It changes the way you have to defend people. He's 1037 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: going to create more opportunities for Dredd and Love to 1038 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 1: take his game to a higher level. 1039 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 2: Oh, let's talk about Josh Jacis versus. How does the 1040 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 2: team let a guy like that go? 1041 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: All? 1042 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 6: Right? 1043 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:26,879 Speaker 2: How does job Jake? 1044 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: He look? 1045 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 2: He's only twenty six years of age. He was a 1046 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 2: first round pick back in twenty twenty two. Rushing Champion 1047 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 2: NFL thousand mark runs in three of his five NFL years. 1048 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 2: Does he How does the team let a guy let 1049 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 2: that go? 1050 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: Well, I mean at the previous place, but the Las 1051 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, Josh mc dangers and those guys didn't value 1052 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: what he brought to the table as a workhorse, so 1053 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: he never signs a long term deal that and then 1054 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: last year he got hurt, got beat up a little bit, 1055 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: and that probably diminished his value within the building. But 1056 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers, they're looking at a guy 1057 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: who was young, who didn't have a lot of tread 1058 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: on I mean, who still has a lot of tread 1059 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: on the tire because of the few amount of reps 1060 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: that he took as a collegiate. And even in the league, 1061 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: they're willing to go all in because he also gives 1062 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 1: them a physicality and a toughness that they didn't have 1063 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: in previous years. They can kind of grind it out, 1064 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 1: kind of knock it down with the bully, like go 1065 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: toe to toe and those tough games because they got 1066 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: a running back and that's only going to make life 1067 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: easy for those receivers on the perimeter. 1068 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: You know, maybe they just thought that the position running 1069 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 2: back is not as valuable as it should be with 1070 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 2: the Raiders, and they let him go. But I do 1071 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 2: believe that at the age of twenty six, what was 1072 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 2: the Aaron Jones. He had to be like thirty one, 1073 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 2: wasn't he. So there's an age difference there. And you 1074 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 2: said he was beat up as far as injuries were concerned, 1075 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 2: So but still at all. I mean, look, I know 1076 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 2: money is a major factor. 1077 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: I get that. 1078 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,839 Speaker 2: But to go from la and to play in the cold, 1079 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 2: a bitter cold, the tundra of Green Bay, I think 1080 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 2: I think twice about that. Really. 1081 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, No, I don't know. I think it's about 1082 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 1: it's about opportunities and opportunities to win Super Bowls. And 1083 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 1: this team is well positioned to make a Super Bowl 1084 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: run because look, Josh Saykis could look around and see 1085 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: the pieces in place. Their defense has the weaponry, has 1086 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: the personnel to be an elite defense. They have that 1087 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: kind of personnel. Offensively, you have to be impressed with 1088 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: all the young guys and how they played. And then 1089 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to anything, the quarterback, the quarterback is everything. 1090 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: And Jordan Love showed after all the doubts and that stuff, 1091 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: that hey, maybe he's a legit big time quarterback. They 1092 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: took their time developing him, and now he is ready 1093 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: to make that stuff and become almost maybe an elite 1094 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: player at the position. 1095 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned quarterback, but you also wrote on 1096 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 2: NFL dot com about a quarterback who happened to have 1097 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 2: been the number two overall back in twenty twenty one, 1098 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 2: and now we can't even get on the field and 1099 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 2: he's on the Jets. His name is Zach Wilson. I'm 1100 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 2: sure they want to unload this guy. And look, here's 1101 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 2: the question I have. You're another two pick, all right, 1102 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 2: and I'd like to find that out. Who in fact 1103 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 2: made that pick. Who's the guy that hollered out his name? 1104 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 2: Why isn't that guy responsible? Coaches get fired all the 1105 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,720 Speaker 2: time when teams don't win. Coach didn't pick up Zach Wilson. 1106 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 2: Some guy in the war room said, Zach Wilson, we 1107 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 2: want him. That's the guy that should be put on 1108 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,919 Speaker 2: the hot seat because he picked this guy and he's 1109 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 2: been really, as you say, a disaster. 1110 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, but everyone everyone's responsible. Because the general manager cannot 1111 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,760 Speaker 1: pick players without the input from the coaches. The coaches 1112 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: are tasked with developing the players once they get into 1113 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: the building. I will say this, and look, Zach Wilson 1114 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been what many expected him to be. But I 1115 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 1: can't say that the jest did a great job of 1116 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: setting him up. He comes in, he had a a 1117 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 1: first time play caller and Mike Lafleur running the offense 1118 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: in New York didn't really go well for them, didn't 1119 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: really mess didn't job some of that as a quarterback. 1120 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,839 Speaker 1: Some of this is a play caller, and a lot 1121 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: of that is the surrounding personnel. You then have Zach Wilson, 1122 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 1: who may not have kind of shown like that desire, 1123 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: that that industriousness, that heavy work ethic that some expect 1124 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 1: from the QB one. He lost the trust of his teammates. 1125 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 1: That's on him, you know. But when they're openly backing 1126 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,240 Speaker 1: Mike White, they're applauding Joe Flacco and anything and everything 1127 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: they did, some of that is a Zach Wilson problem. 1128 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 1: So everyone is responsible for it, the general manager, the 1129 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: head coach for the failing, even the court, I mean 1130 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,879 Speaker 1: the quarterback. But yeah, it extends beyond just the person 1131 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: who picked him. 1132 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the funny thing is, I think where Zach 1133 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,279 Speaker 2: Wilson went down the tubes. I know his reckless twelve 1134 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 2: and twenty one, but he's played on a bad team 1135 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 2: and they just haven't been in the playoffs for like 1136 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 2: some fifteen years. But I remember after one loss, I 1137 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 2: believe it was a year ago, he was in the 1138 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 2: postgame news conference and he said it wasn't on him, 1139 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,959 Speaker 2: and you can't do that. You got to you gotta 1140 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 2: take responsibility, even if it wasn't on him, you got 1141 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,480 Speaker 2: to say the right things. And that really I had 1142 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 2: to believe, made the separation between he and the players 1143 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 2: in the locker room, and it wasn't good, it wasn't healthy. 1144 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 2: And from that time on, I think he lost the team. 1145 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 2: I really believe that. 1146 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: Oh I can believe that. Yeah, it's it's tough. It's 1147 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 1: a situation where the quarterback not only has to be 1148 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,399 Speaker 1: super talented physically, but he has to be a high 1149 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: level leader with great intangibles. And Zach Wilson's immaturity hurt 1150 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: him in some instances where he didn't answer those questions 1151 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: the right way. And in that market, the New York market, 1152 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:36,440 Speaker 1: with everything is examined two, three, four times, every interaction, 1153 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 1: every conversation. In those things, he didn't endear himself to 1154 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 1: his teammates or the public with his actions. 1155 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to find out in a few minutes 1156 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,799 Speaker 2: where he may end up.

And 1178 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 2: I want to follow up on this situation with Zach. 1179 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 2: All Right, Zach Wilson quarterback of the New York Jets, 1180 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 2: and you say where he may end up. And it's 1181 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 2: funny because you, after reading this at NFL dot Com book, 1182 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 2: you do not necessarily lay Zack Wilson on a team 1183 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 2: that needs a quarterback. You're putting him on a team 1184 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 2: that has a great offensive mind, that head coach. That's 1185 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,360 Speaker 2: what I got out of reading that article on Friday. 1186 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 2: Am I correct on that? 1187 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I think you are correct. It's about finding 1188 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: the right fit. It's the coach, it's the environment. It's 1189 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,359 Speaker 1: the coach and the only a handful of guys who 1190 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: have the experience and the ability to be able to 1191 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 1: set him up for success. After watching him fail and 1192 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 1: flop in New York as appearing to me now more 1193 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: than ever, coaching and the environment matters more to Zach 1194 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 1: Wilson than just the playbook. So he has to be 1195 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: with someone that supports him, someone that has approven track 1196 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: record being able to develop young players. That's where I 1197 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,879 Speaker 1: would go from Zack Wilson. I want someone. 1198 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 2: And one of those teams you mentioned is the Kansas 1199 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 2: City Chiefs, and people would say, why are you kidding me? 1200 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,839 Speaker 2: They got Patrick Mahomes. But it's not Patrick Mahomes as much. 1201 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 2: Who needs Zack Wilson. It's the guy that could maybe 1202 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 2: teach and tutor Zack Wilson. And as the head coach, 1203 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 2: Andy Reid, who did very similar work I guess with 1204 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 2: Michael Vick in Philadelphia. 1205 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's done a lot of work with a lot 1206 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,959 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks throughout his time. So you think about in Philadelphia, 1207 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: and let me go back for disclosure, Andy Reid and 1208 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: I were together in Green Bay. Andy Reid was a 1209 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: tight ends coach who was evlevated a quarterback coach before 1210 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 1: taking over as the Philadelphia Eagles head coach, and he 1211 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 1: took a lot with a lot of the same things 1212 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 1: that the Green Bay Packers did under Mike Hongwren. He 1213 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: took that with him and one of the things that 1214 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: they did is they always believed in having multiple quarterbacks 1215 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: on the roster. Wanted they could develop and they could 1216 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 1: turn that into a potential trade chip or upgrade the 1217 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: depth on the team always wanted to be in the 1218 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 1: quarterback business is kind of how they referenced it. 1219 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 7: Well. 1220 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 1: Andy Reid took the same philosophy he helped with Donovan mcmahd, 1221 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: but then along the way he not only helped aj 1222 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: Fielly and Kevin Cobb become tradable commodities that they where 1223 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: they benefited from directly playing their young player, but now 1224 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 1: he also had taken over the Michael Vick Recognition project 1225 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: and helped Michael repair his career after being incarcerated for 1226 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: two years and return to being a Pro Bowl caliber player. 1227 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: That's what you want if you're Zach Wilson. You want 1228 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 1: to sit with someone who understands how to help guys 1229 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: become better quarterbacks, better pros and to do that. And 1230 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,680 Speaker 1: even though you may not play with Pat Mahomes and Trench, 1231 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: you certainly cane learn a lot from those practices. And 1232 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs it makes sense because it's a cheaper, 1233 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: talented quarterback coming into the building. 1234 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and another landing spot you mentioned with Zach Wilson 1235 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 2: could be another coach who's had success with quarterbacks as 1236 00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 2: Sean Payton in Denver, although he hadn't had much luck 1237 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 2: with Russell Wilson, but he had a lot of luck 1238 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 2: with New Orleans with Drew Brees. 1239 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 1: He did have a lot of luck with Drew Brees, 1240 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: and he had a lot of luck. I want to 1241 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: say that he was very instrumental early on. You know 1242 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys aroun an Tony Romo and that stuff. 1243 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 1: I think this is one where you are trying to 1244 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 1: like look the goal like trying to hit the slot machine. 1245 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 1: You're trying to really come up and make it happen. 1246 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 1: I believe that Sean Payton would be good. Now the 1247 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: tough love, tough love would be something that Zach Wilson 1248 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: would have to get used to, the hard coaching in 1249 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: those things, but I think it would work out well 1250 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 1: for him. And Sean Payton did spend three years with 1251 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 1: Tony Romo in Dallas, going from andrafted dominic guy that 1252 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 1: started games for the Cowboys. You're thinking about that tutoring, 1253 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 1: that nurturing, all of that stuff that should help him 1254 00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 1: really get the best out of Zach Wilson. 1255 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 2: All here's a situation. 1256 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 1: Now. 1257 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 2: You also say that the charges of LA could be 1258 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 2: a landing stuff as Zach Wilson new head coach, did 1259 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 2: Jim Harbor and obviously Harbord did coach in college at 1260 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 2: Andrew Luckt Stanford. However, he's very high on JJ McCarthy. 1261 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 2: He's guy at Michigan. All right, I ask you this 1262 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 2: would and JJ McCarthy's a winner and everybody's saying that 1263 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 2: the winning is probably maybe more important than a skill set. 1264 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 2: Who knows. I don't, But would JJ McCarthy been as 1265 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 2: successful at any other school not being coached by Jim Harbor, 1266 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 2: or did Jim Harbor make that much of a difference 1267 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 2: with JJ? 1268 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: I would say, I don't know, like physically how much 1269 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 1: of a difference he made, but I know mentally absolutely. 1270 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 1: When you listen to j JJ talks about the team, 1271 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: he talks about toughness, about talks about doing the little 1272 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 1: things necessary to win games, and how the only thing 1273 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: is winning every quarterback that you poll, that's not what 1274 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 1: they're talking about, that's not what their focus is. Their 1275 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 1: focus might be on running up the pat you know, 1276 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 1: running up the stats so they can get a bigger check. 1277 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Some of them won't have the ability to check their 1278 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 1: eager in the door to be a facilitator on an 1279 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 1: offense that's a run first offense. This is a four 1280 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 1: to five star recruit that decided he's going to Michigan 1281 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: knowing full well that they're going to run the football. 1282 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: To me, that speaks volumes about his intangibles. He speaks 1283 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: volumes about what he wants to do and what he 1284 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: was sacrificed to win games. That's the kind of player 1285 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: that I would be encouraged to be around because you 1286 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: know that he's gonna give his all to do it 1287 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 1: the way that you want it done. And his ego 1288 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: is not necessarily tied to being the guy who has 1289 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: to throw at thirty to forty times a game. 1290 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 2: What happens now? And obviously you work in the NFL, 1291 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 2: You've been there, you played there. You see things happen 1292 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 2: all the time. If Zach Wilson gets picked up by 1293 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:26,479 Speaker 2: one of these teams, either Denver Charges maybe Kansas City, 1294 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 2: who knows where, and he turns it around, that starting 1295 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 2: quarterback gets hurt. He comes in, learns the system, the 1296 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 2: coach has confidence in him, and he does well. Maybe 1297 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 2: takes a team to a playoff. What does that do 1298 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 2: besides put egg on the face of the Jets and 1299 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:40,960 Speaker 2: their coaching staff. 1300 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly puts egg on the face of 1301 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: the Jets. If he goes somewhere else and plays well, yeah, 1302 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna say it's a coaching and development problem. That's 1303 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: the issue. Woody Johnson will say that how come this 1304 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,160 Speaker 1: guy can play so well for Andy Reid in Kansas 1305 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: City but he couldn't play well for us here? Then 1306 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: have second thoughts about why did that keep these as 1307 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 1: If they can develop the most important position in the 1308 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: game for Wilson, they have to make a decision whether 1309 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna trade them or cut them, you know, will 1310 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 1: someone throw a seventh round pick at him just to 1311 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: make sure they secure his services. And then they have 1312 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: to cast their eyes right away to what they're gonna 1313 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: do with the fifth year option and that stuff. All 1314 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 1: of that stuff matters, and so it's still fluid as 1315 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 1: a work in progress. But I would expect to see 1316 01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 1: him somewhere and hopefully those three teams that we mentioned, 1317 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 1: the La Chargers on the Jim Harborough at the kan 1318 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 1: City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos could provide them a 1319 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 1: nice little land. It's about waking bounce back. 1320 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,680 Speaker 2: And you'd like to see a guy got a second 1321 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 2: chance there too, because obviously, as soon as the Jets 1322 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 2: signed up on Aaron Rodgers, you know, he was finished, 1323 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 2: you know. And it would have been great if Aaron 1324 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 2: Rodgers was playing and not hurt, because maybe Zack could 1325 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 2: have learned a little bit from Aaron throughout the course 1326 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,040 Speaker 2: of the season. But didn't work out that way. He 1327 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 2: was thrown into action, and obviously we saw what happened. 1328 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 2: It didn't work out well at all. 1329 01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 1: So no, it didn't work out. It's unfortunate, but both 1330 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: are gone because the Jets are the win now many 1331 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 1: they need to win this year or that. An entire 1332 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: coaching staff and maybe the general manager and person that's 1333 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 1: up they're all gone. So it's a lot of pressure 1334 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: on working done. 1335 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 2: Every yeh And it should be you know, it should 1336 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 2: be pre I mean, and I'll tell you why. Not 1337 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 2: so much for the ownership, not so much for players 1338 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 2: that play. I think, just be pressure for hard working 1339 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 2: fans that pay good money to see a team play 1340 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 2: and the gun flushing it down the toilet because the 1341 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 2: team never wins. Was it fifteen years since the Jets 1342 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 2: have been in the playoffs, Come on, really get it, 1343 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 2: get it right. I don't think it's that difficult, is 1344 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 2: it to put a team together? 1345 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: Can't It's hard to be consistent. And their struggles have 1346 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 1: been with their consistency, like consistently taking care of the ball, 1347 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: consistently making the plays are there to be made on 1348 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: third down, winning in two minutes. All those things have 1349 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 1: been issues. And then defensively, they have to turn the 1350 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: ball over more. They haven't created more takeaways. They need 1351 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,400 Speaker 1: more opportunities. That's where they can benefit this offense, giving 1352 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 1: them more cracks and more bite. Said to Apple, defensive 1353 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 1: blame to go around, even though we've said they've been, 1354 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, like they've shown signs of coming. But yeah, 1355 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff just going on with. 1356 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 2: It, no doubt about that. 1357 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 1: All right. 1358 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 2: He's Bucket Brooks on Ady Firm, and we are Fox 1359 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday on Fox Sports RDY.

Alabama had to come from behind. 1369 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 5: They were down thirteen points at one point in the 1370 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 5: first half, but they're able to take down the Clemson 1371 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 5: Tigers eighty nine eighty two. And we got two more 1372 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 5: Elite Eight games coming up Today two twenty Eastern time 1373 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,360 Speaker 5: is the scheduled tip for top seed at Berdue and 1374 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 5: at two seeded Tennessee, and then at five o'clock the 1375 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 5: second game of the day, fourth seeded Duke and then 1376 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 5: NC State.

As for 1381 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 5: the women's side of things, we got some good matchups 1382 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 5: coming up because the Sweet sixteen gave us the matchups 1383 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,360 Speaker 5: we were hoping for. Yukon beat Duke fifty three forty five, 1384 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 5: USC got by Baylor's seventy four to seventy, so it'll 1385 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 5: be the Trojans and the Huskies in one Elite eight matchup, 1386 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 5: and Iowa they destroy Colorado eighty nine to sixty eight. 1387 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 5: LSU beats UCLA seventy eight to sixty nine, so Monday's 1388 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 5: Elite eight matchup will be a rematch of last year's 1389 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,640 Speaker 5: National Championship game Iowa and Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese 1390 01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:02,280 Speaker 5: and LSU.

He is 1417 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,800 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks on Andy Firman. We are Fox Sports Sunday 1418 01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 2: and Fox Sports Ready, and we'relying from the tierrack dot 1419 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 2: com studios. And of course we got bon and Barrow 1420 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 2: betting in less than ten minutes coming up. But I 1421 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 2: want to talk about a three time Pro Bowl selection. 1422 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 2: He lives in rock Hill, South Carolina. Just a few 1423 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,919 Speaker 2: days ago, he signed a two year, twenty million dollar 1424 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 2: deal with his hometown, the Carolina Panthers. I'm talking about 1425 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 2: edge Russier Jadavian Clowney. Last year at the age of 1426 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 2: thirty one, nine point five sacks, which tied a career high. 1427 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 2: But this is his third team in three years. Played 1428 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 2: for the Browns, last year the Ravens, and why go, 1429 01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 2: I guess hometown's a big deal. It's about I get it. 1430 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:06,479 Speaker 2: He claims that this Charlotte team can be a playoff team. 1431 01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 2: Can one guy really make a difference? Can the edge 1432 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 2: Russia Jadavian Clowney come in there and turn this team 1433 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 2: around and make this team a playoff team? I don't 1434 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 2: know what do you think. 1435 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Who a player can turn around? But it takes a 1436 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 1: lot of pieces of the posal to make to make 1437 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: it happen. And I think you gotta have a look 1438 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: a little stroke of luck. You gotta have all the 1439 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,360 Speaker 1: pieces to play come into place, and you got to 1440 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: be healthy down the stretch. And as much as we 1441 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,719 Speaker 1: like to think that it is the natural next step 1442 01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: to being your postseason team. In those things, there are 1443 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot of little things to go with us. So 1444 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, Andy, if like one player can do it, 1445 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,320 Speaker 1: I think it certainly enhances it, it helps them. But 1446 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 1: man to put it all on one player, I don't 1447 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 1: know if we can do that. 1448 01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 2: And he claims that they could turn it around. Look, 1449 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,439 Speaker 2: the thing that I questioned a little bit is his 1450 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 2: third team in three years, and there was an article 1451 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 2: published in Cleveland dot Cleveland dot com. He said that 1452 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 2: team that Browns would favor in the start defensive end 1453 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett over him. It's all about egos. I mean, 1454 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,640 Speaker 2: come on, really, and he says, uh, let's say it. 1455 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,719 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. This is what Clowney said in the article. 1456 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 2: It seems to me they didn't want me to outplay anybody. 1457 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I mean, I just it's so petty. 1458 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 2: I don't understand why a guy would do that. They 1459 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 2: know his value, they know his worth in Cleveland, I 1460 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 2: guess not. He didn't think they knew it, so he left. 1461 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 2: He packed up a left on three teams in three years. 1462 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,000 Speaker 2: This team starts out on five six. There's gonna be 1463 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 2: some problems there in Carolina. He's gonna want out of there. 1464 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, this is what it is. This 1465 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 1: is what he does. I mean, he's a mercenary. He 1466 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 1: gets to bad and he goes in place. But look, 1467 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see how it works out. We'll see 1468 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: if he can kind of elevate that squad. But I 1469 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 1: don't know if I would be optimistic that he is 1470 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,200 Speaker 1: going to be the missing piece that helps him get 1471 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: over the top. 1472 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,080 Speaker 2: Right, I'm with you, right, and I hope he does. 1473 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 2: You know, I think there's one heck of a player 1474 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 2: in the right situation, but you know, I don't know 1475 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 2: if that's the right situation right now. We talk about 1476 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 2: owners and sports, you know, really and truly, I think 1477 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 2: that as much as you and I and everybody else 1478 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 2: follow the world of sports, I don't think we could 1479 01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 2: probably name five owners, and I don't think we have to. Yeah, 1480 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 2: and the ones you can name, they probably talk too much. 1481 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,560 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is on top of the list, right, and 1482 01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,719 Speaker 2: you talk about Carolina Panthers. What about their own David Tepper. 1483 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:25,639 Speaker 2: That guy needs a shrink, really, So I don't think 1484 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 2: the owners and they're chatting means much and I think 1485 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 2: they should be seen or not heard. And I'm gonna 1486 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,240 Speaker 2: add New York Jets owner Woody Johnson to his list 1487 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 2: because on the tweets on social media there was a 1488 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 2: story published and they said let it die, and they 1489 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 2: add wood to the fire. Woody, I mean, come on. 1490 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 2: The NFL Network reported that he and the Jets coach 1491 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 2: Robert Saylor engaged in a very heated conversation at the 1492 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,000 Speaker 2: NFL's annual league meetings in Orlando, Florida, last week. All right, 1493 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 2: so he read that, he said it wasn't true. He 1494 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,679 Speaker 2: goes on social media and he says it wasn't true. 1495 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 2: Why Why? Why did these pegs? Do they have that 1496 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,840 Speaker 2: much of an ego? Let it go? Who cares? Have 1497 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,840 Speaker 2: he and the coach had it to do? Who really cares? 1498 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 1: Nobody really does. So that's why it was really funny 1499 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 1: that he would be so upset about it, he would 1500 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,960 Speaker 1: have so much issue with it. But where just smoked, 1501 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 1: there's fire, and where people are sensing, there's uncomfortable conversations 1502 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: and not this natural chemistry and connectivity that you normally 1503 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:36,960 Speaker 1: have when you see multiple like two executives together. Yeah, 1504 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 1: you can tell that the donor is frustrated. 1505 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Now here's a situation. What hey, 1506 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 2: Johnson's seventy six years of age, he owns the team 1507 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 2: NFL Network. The girl who wrote this basically her name 1508 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 2: is Colleen Wolfe, and Colleen Wilf said she's on the 1509 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,280 Speaker 2: Around the NFL. It was a podcast as well. She 1510 01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 2: said she heard about this alleged confrontation with the coach 1511 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,280 Speaker 2: and the owner from a quote very real life biable 1512 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 2: source dot it. 1513 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 1: Okay, so here's go. So Colleen wood who's an NFL 1514 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 1: Network colleague who I'm friendly with, like, she wouldn't put 1515 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 1: out their stuff that she doesn't know. And so if 1516 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,479 Speaker 1: Colleen hears this from a trusted source, like, I'm sure 1517 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,800 Speaker 1: it happened. What I don't understand about the conversation is like, 1518 01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 1: why Woody Johnson is so upset that people know that 1519 01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 1: maybe he and Robert Sala had looking interaction and argument 1520 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,320 Speaker 1: that happens, that happens in business, that happens on teams, 1521 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,799 Speaker 1: that happens in real life and relationships. So it shouldn't 1522 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 1: have been that big of a deal for Woody Johnson 1523 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,720 Speaker 1: to make it a bigger deal to me, signals that 1524 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:39,479 Speaker 1: there's something even deeper there. He certainly's not happy they 1525 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 1: haven't been to the playoffs in twelve seasons. Robert Sala 1526 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 1: and these guys are all then on the Aaron Rodgers experience, 1527 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: and so they have to figure out how to get 1528 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 1: it done. If there was a little testiness between the two, 1529 01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:57,240 Speaker 1: that's good. He should put Robert Sala in an uncomfortable 1530 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 1: situation where he knows that the urgent he needs to 1531 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,080 Speaker 1: be there for him, for the team and everyone associated 1532 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: with the program. If they're going to continue on with 1533 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,680 Speaker 1: the Jets, they need to win and they can't just 1534 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,519 Speaker 1: talk about, oh, our defense is this, and oh if 1535 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:14,639 Speaker 1: a Rods had been there. They have to win games. 1536 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: That's what you're tasked with as the head coach, no 1537 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 1: matter what the situation. Your job is to find a 1538 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,920 Speaker 1: way to take this team as presently constructed and win games. 1539 01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,559 Speaker 1: And with teams like Detroit going on runs with Todd 1540 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 1: Bowles been ready to make a run with the Tampa 1541 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,800 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, the expectations there to New York just need 1542 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,640 Speaker 1: to make a run this year, all right, guys, So 1543 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're gonna take a break 1544 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,360 Speaker 1: right now, we'll come back finish up the hour.

Could there be some money 1562 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 2: under the table. 1563 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:32,599 Speaker 6: That's what makes this game it's so funny, is there's 1564 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,719 Speaker 6: no money under the table.

I'm gonna win. 1659 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 2: And could you tell me maybe to rehash when some 1660 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 2: of these events are being taken place so I could 1661 01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,679 Speaker 2: follow to see that there's no cheating involved, everything's above board. 1662 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 2: I want to follow the events. What are they? 1663 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,680 Speaker 6: Most of them happened the next day, because that's how 1664 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 6: that's when the when I'm looking for the lines. They 1665 01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 6: usually just have the next day's events, or you know, 1666 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 6: sometimes it'll be the coming week. 1667 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,360 Speaker 2: But well, I'm gonna be following these a little more close. 1668 01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 6: I'll shoot you guys an email with the actual because 1669 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 6: you know what. 1670 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,040 Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense that I could be that 1671 01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 2: far behind, trailing so much in this stupid game. All right, 1672 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense. 1673 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,800 Speaker 6: You think you'd think it wouldn't make much sense, but. 1674 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 2: Right, it doesn't make any sense. So I'm thinking, like 1675 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 2: there's a little hanky panky going on, right, am I? 1676 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 1: Right? 1677 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,840 Speaker 2: A wrong? You're wrong? 1678 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 1: What are we talking about? 1679 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,759 Speaker 2: I may not have suited up in the National Football 1680 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,799 Speaker 2: League like Bucket Brooks, but I have some competitive juices 1681 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,679 Speaker 2: inside me like anybody else, and I don't like to lose. 1682 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:38,560 Speaker 2: I just don't like. 1683 01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:39,880 Speaker 6: It's far from over. 1684 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 2: Really, it's far from over. Okay, we want to put 1685 01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 2: a little cash on this to make a little more interesting. 1686 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 2: Maybe next week we'll put a little betting money and 1687 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,640 Speaker 2: maybe the money you'll go to charity. That's what we'll do. 1688 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,839 Speaker 2: Like that, what do you think a little money for charity? 1689 01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 2: Something like that? Our favorite charities, right, we could do 1690 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 2: something like that because now I want to gear this 1691 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 2: up a little bit. I'm a little sick. Can tire 1692 01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 2: again slapped around by Bucky Brooks? That's all I could say. 1693 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 2: All Right, well that's all. I love him to death, 1694 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 2: but I don't like to lose to him. That's all 1695 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now. 1696 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 6: Good opportunity to turn around this week. 1697 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I will.

And NCAA Basketball the Tournament, 1710 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:56,519 Speaker 2: the bracket. 1711 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Here we go. 1712 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,120 Speaker 2: We've got two games today. We got Purdue ten to 1713 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 2: see Duke NC State, I ask you. We talked about 1714 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,599 Speaker 2: Kevin mentioned this top of the hour doing the sports updates. 1715 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:12,639 Speaker 2: This Cinderella's all right? To me? Maybe I'm off base. 1716 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 2: I think that you have to say, obviously in NC 1717 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,840 Speaker 2: State's Cinderella. Alabama's got to be a Cinderella. They've never 1718 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 2: been in the Final four. But what constitutes of cinderella. 1719 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 2: You could be a big time conference team team member 1720 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 2: and still be a Cinderella because you're not expected or 1721 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 2: you haven't been there before. So I got to believe 1722 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 2: that NC State and Alabama could be considered Cinderella teams 1723 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:34,839 Speaker 2: this year. Am I correct? 1724 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 1: I think they can be considered cinderella's because they're lower seeds, 1725 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 1: particularly in C State. No one expects an eleven seed 1726 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 1: to be vying for a Final four. Birth with Alabama, 1727 01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 1: I think you can still make that conversation about whoever 1728 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: is going to make it to the Final four. Because 1729 01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,120 Speaker 1: they were one of the lower seeds in the region. 1730 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: You can still in some ways say that they are Cinderella. 1731 01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 1: But to me, the truth would be NC State based 1732 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 1: on them having to play their way into the tournament 1733 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:08,559 Speaker 1: like they did by winning the ACC Tournament, and then 1734 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 1: the way that they've started as an eleven seed and 1735 01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 1: kind of made their way through the tournament, feel to 1736 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,080 Speaker 1: put themselves in a position to if they win their 1737 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 1: in the final four. 1738 01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you right now, I'm looking at the 1739 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 2: entire bracket as we speak, and I'm saying, we are 1740 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 2: seeing an erosion of this soul called Cinderellas, like we're 1741 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,880 Speaker 2: seeing an erosion of the Saint Peter's, of the Oaklands, 1742 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,640 Speaker 2: of the Leola Chicago's. I'm looking at basic Cinderella's that 1743 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: made it to the second round this year, Oakland, James 1744 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,600 Speaker 2: Madison and basically that's it. That's it. Why because of 1745 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 2: nil And what do I mean by that? Nil? Money 1746 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 2: is luring players even from lower division schools with big 1747 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,360 Speaker 2: time money who can play or coaches think they can 1748 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,439 Speaker 2: play at a higher level. You're paying them big money. 1749 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,640 Speaker 2: These players are going to leave. The portal situation is 1750 01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 2: making or letting kids leave for one school to another. 1751 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 2: So you're reading out the quote weaker, smaller Cinderella schools 1752 01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 2: and it's going to be a tournament right now just 1753 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 2: for the big boys. And I don't like it. I 1754 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,600 Speaker 2: don't think it's good. I think the thrill and the 1755 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 2: excitement and the fun of this tournament was seeing schools 1756 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 2: you maybe have never heard of before coming and playing 1757 01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,400 Speaker 2: and going deep into the tournament. Even last year Florida 1758 01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 2: Atlantic they went to the final four. What happened this year? 1759 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,920 Speaker 2: The coach is gone, is going to Michigan. So I 1760 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 2: think that's what we're seeing right now. And even if 1761 01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,439 Speaker 2: they expanded to ninety eight teams, as there's some suggestion 1762 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 2: that there may happen, it's not going to help the 1763 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 2: smaller schools, but it was they going to dominate the 1764 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,879 Speaker 2: big conferences with guarantee berths to get them in the tournament. 1765 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I see it a little differently when 1766 01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 1: it comes to the Cinerella. I think we actually have 1767 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 1: seen more upsets. I think the parody is the best 1768 01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 1: that we've seen. We've seen teams go down. We saw 1769 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 1: Ducuine win a first round game. We saw some of 1770 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 1: the lower seeds win. Now they're not making these deep, 1771 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 1: historic runs, but I think that has less to do 1772 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: with like the haves gobbling up all the have nice talent. 1773 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 1: I think it's just the way that it plays out. 1774 01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,799 Speaker 1: I think parody is more apparent in the college basketball 1775 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 1: landscape than it's ever been in Before. It was always 1776 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 1: the blue bloods in the final four. It was always 1777 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 1: one of the top teams, one of the teams from 1778 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 1: the Power five or Power six conferences playing Now. I mean, 1779 01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 1: we've seen it. Last year you talked about FAU being 1780 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,800 Speaker 1: able to make it. We've seen some of these other 1781 01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 1: smaller teams make deep runs where they're on the verge 1782 01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: of making the final four. I just believe the tournament 1783 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 1: is changing, and the excitement of the tournament stems from 1784 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 1: you have to tune in because you just never know 1785 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 1: what you're going to see. 1786 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 2: Well, look, you see the Duke playing NC State today. 1787 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 2: Those teams kind of like a repeat they played during 1788 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 2: the regular season. You got two teams from the ACC, 1789 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,960 Speaker 2: two teams from the SEC coming in there, purduees in there, 1790 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 2: I think purduing Connecticut. They may very well be in 1791 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 2: the finals right now. Connecticut head and shoulders, I believe, 1792 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,960 Speaker 2: over everybody else in this tournament, they're not only winning, 1793 01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 2: they they destroying their opponents. Yesterday when they won, well 1794 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,759 Speaker 2: two days ago when they won, they had a thirty 1795 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,800 Speaker 2: to nothing run. I mean that's unheard of. I mean, 1796 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 2: this team is just deep, good and I guess it's 1797 01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 2: the coaching, is the size of their bench, whatever it 1798 01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,760 Speaker 2: may be. But Hurley has developed some sort of a 1799 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 2: mini dynasty over there Connecticut. 1800 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 1: He certainly has done a really good job. He's done 1801 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:34,519 Speaker 1: a really good job of being able to navigate difficult 1802 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 1: circumstances in terms of winning Aster championship, losing a handful 1803 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 1: of guys to the pros, and knowing that the second 1804 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 1: year is always harder than the first year, but embracing 1805 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 1: the target and attacking it and attacking it with this team. 1806 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,200 Speaker 1: He is a grizzled, hard nosed coach, but he always 1807 01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 1: talks about I can coach my guy's hard because they 1808 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 1: know I love them and I'm gonna be there for them. 1809 01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,840 Speaker 1: He look he deserves high marks for creating or re 1810 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 1: creating a championship culture at Yukon, but we also have 1811 01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 1: to understand this. Yukon in the last quarter century has 1812 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,600 Speaker 1: been regarded as one of the power one of the 1813 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 1: power teams. They're blue blood. They won a bunch of 1814 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:14,960 Speaker 1: national titles. They won with Jim Carhun, they won with 1815 01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Island, they won with Danny Hill. This is a 1816 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 1: program that is accustomed to winning and when you take 1817 01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,799 Speaker 1: over a situation like that, not saying that it's easier, 1818 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 1: but they have seen success, which makes it easier to 1819 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 1: tell the team, Hey, if we do these things, we 1820 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: will win. This is what this university, this basketball program 1821 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: has been founded on. We're going to come to continue 1822 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: to step on the gant, the shows the giants. 1823 01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to run this by because you're a tar 1824 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 2: hill for North Carolina, and I got to consider North 1825 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 2: Carolina blue blood. No matter what happened this year, there's 1826 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,640 Speaker 2: still a blue blood. Many people thought they'd make it 1827 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,560 Speaker 2: to the Final four. How does a school like Connecticut 1828 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:55,799 Speaker 2: manage to have more success than in North Carolina or Kentucky. 1829 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,720 Speaker 2: I don't understand that whatsoever. What does Connecticut have that 1830 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 2: that North Carolina Kentucky does not have. They don't have 1831 01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,000 Speaker 2: the tradition of North Carolina Kentucky. They don't have the 1832 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 2: facilities I don't believe as North Carolina or Kentucky. What 1833 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,519 Speaker 2: could they do to attract a kid unless a kid 1834 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 2: that on their roster is from the East and doesn't 1835 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,519 Speaker 2: one to move to the Midwest of the South. That's 1836 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 2: the only thing I can think of. Well, maybe it's money. 1837 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,599 Speaker 2: I don't know. What they have that kind of lures 1838 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 2: people to Connecticut to make that school over any other 1839 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 2: school a basketball power, a basketball juggernaut. I never would 1840 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:34,680 Speaker 2: have dreamt in my entire dreams of basketball that Connecticut 1841 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 2: will be considered a basketball power. 1842 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think a couple of Thames. I 1843 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that they are above North Carolina and Duke. 1844 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky and those schools. I 1845 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,080 Speaker 1: think they're in the conversation. I think those teams have 1846 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,840 Speaker 1: to be considered like the elite of the at least 1847 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,920 Speaker 1: because they're always in the conversation to win national titles. 1848 01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 1: I think when we judge everything off of the coma 1849 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 1: of a tournament, it makes it hard to really say 1850 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 1: that who's on part because you're really talking about winning 1851 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,360 Speaker 1: a six game run to be the national champion. What 1852 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,679 Speaker 1: Yukon has done, though, is they were a dominant team 1853 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 1: in the Biggies. They've been a dominant team there. Their 1854 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,040 Speaker 1: recruiting base, even though we talked about Connecticut, well, they 1855 01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: can go to the Tri state area, they can go 1856 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey, they can dip down into the 1857 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,400 Speaker 1: DMV and get players. So their recruiting basis for there 1858 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:30,280 Speaker 1: are a ton of players in New York, in New 1859 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:34,160 Speaker 1: York City that they can lure from. Look, man, my 1860 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,799 Speaker 1: daughter recently took a visit to Yukon just as a student, 1861 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,720 Speaker 1: and she talked about how she fell in love with it. 1862 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,200 Speaker 1: So there is something attractive about Yukon that is luring 1863 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 1: people into it. But when you have success like they've 1864 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,960 Speaker 1: had in the past, it's easy to sell. When they've 1865 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 1: had pros come out of the program, and I think 1866 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: they have a lot of good things, a lot of 1867 01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 1: attractive qualities to sell as a basketball program. 1868 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 2: And you're right, success does bring success to be part 1869 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 2: of a winning team. I mean I remember when Jerry 1870 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,439 Speaker 2: Fous coach Molar High School in Cincinnati. I mean that 1871 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 2: team was dominant, and you know what, I'd go watch 1872 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,040 Speaker 2: those games on Friday night and he'd have like fifty 1873 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 2: sixty seventy kids on the sidelines. Why kids want to 1874 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,200 Speaker 2: be part of a winning program? You know, look at 1875 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,200 Speaker 2: high school teams that have losing seasons. They can't even 1876 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 2: feel twenty two to twenty five players on the team. 1877 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be part of a loser. And I 1878 01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,280 Speaker 2: get it because at that age You're going to school 1879 01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,599 Speaker 2: on a Monday morning and you'll see so many students 1880 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,080 Speaker 2: in the classes and say, hey, you lost the ging 1881 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 2: on Friday, didn't you. Nobody wants that, especially at that 1882 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:34,640 Speaker 2: age in high school. You want to be part of 1883 01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:36,600 Speaker 2: a winning team, even if you don't play. You just 1884 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:38,240 Speaker 2: want to wear the uniform and get the letter at 1885 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:38,840 Speaker 2: the end of the year. 1886 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that's cool to a point, but you 1887 01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,560 Speaker 1: can't have what some are termed burger eaters, guys that 1888 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,759 Speaker 1: just want to come and get up all the scraps 1889 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: and enjoy the spores of the hard work of others. 1890 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:53,080 Speaker 1: They have to be contributing to the members of the squad, 1891 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, and when it comes to like that part 1892 01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,720 Speaker 1: of it, like we'll go back to Yukon, look at 1893 01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,479 Speaker 1: the a lot of hard work for them to make 1894 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 1: their way to the top. You know, Before you can 1895 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,680 Speaker 1: talk about Ray Allen and Kron Butler and some of 1896 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,880 Speaker 1: those guys that have put on that jersey, you got 1897 01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 1: to talk about Tate George, who was a part of 1898 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 1: them when they were coming up. I mean, they have 1899 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,000 Speaker 1: a bit of a history. And look, there's a recency 1900 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,479 Speaker 1: bias when it comes with today's generation in terms of 1901 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,120 Speaker 1: what programs are great. While we could talk about the 1902 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,880 Speaker 1: lore and the tradition of Kentucky and Carolina going all 1903 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:29,160 Speaker 1: the way back to the fifties and sixties, young people 1904 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:32,120 Speaker 1: today don't care about that. They can hit the head. 1905 01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 1: They don't care about that. They care about what has 1906 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 1: happened since twenty fifteen, what happened since twenty ten, things 1907 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,639 Speaker 1: that have happened in recent years. And they recently saw 1908 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Yukon win a title with Kevin Olly. They recently have 1909 01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: watched Danny Hurley win a title. So now it's an 1910 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 1: easier sail when you're recruiting because they've done it recently. 1911 01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 1: They've done it within range of a kid growing up 1912 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:56,280 Speaker 1: and being able to remember those highlights and the players 1913 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 1: that played during that time. 1914 01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, you get a kid or a 1915 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 2: coach from UCLA trying to recruit a kid. Those kids 1916 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,639 Speaker 2: have no idea what UCLA did dominating in the sixties 1917 01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,759 Speaker 2: and seven. They have no idea, nor should they. They're donkid. 1918 01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,800 Speaker 2: History is yesterday for a kid playing high school ball 1919 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 2: right now, and you know it more than anybody else, probably, 1920 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,879 Speaker 2: But you work with these kids, history to them is yesterday. 1921 01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 2: That's history to them, really, and that's all they need 1922 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:25,760 Speaker 2: to know, really, is what happened yesterday. They don't want 1923 01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 2: to know here about Elvin Hayes playing for the University 1924 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,639 Speaker 2: of Houston. You know, Kelvin Sampson does not use Elvin 1925 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 2: Hayes as a recruiting tool, I'm sure because these kids 1926 01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 2: have no idea who the big E was back in 1927 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:36,200 Speaker 2: the day. 1928 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,760 Speaker 1: No, they don't have any idea, nor do they care. 1929 01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:41,639 Speaker 1: They care about what have you done for me lately? 1930 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:44,080 Speaker 1: What have you done most recently? They will lead me 1931 01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,479 Speaker 1: to believe that I can come here and win. And 1932 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 1: as you talked about it, young people don't want to 1933 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,559 Speaker 1: associate themselves with losers. The majority of them don't. There's 1934 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:55,599 Speaker 1: some that want to take on the challenge of helping 1935 01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,639 Speaker 1: a team turn it around. That's not the overwhelming majority 1936 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,920 Speaker 1: of young young people. And so they've been able to 1937 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:07,120 Speaker 1: recruit using success as the blueprint. Hey, we won here, 1938 01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:08,880 Speaker 1: we'll continue to win here. We get the right kind 1939 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:12,840 Speaker 1: of guys. This is what we do. We win. To me, 1940 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 1: that's a little scary that when you're sitting there and 1941 01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 1: listening to that message, because they have one and they 1942 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,920 Speaker 1: have a confident nature about their approach. They have a 1943 01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,680 Speaker 1: coach who's confident in the players that he gets and 1944 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,639 Speaker 1: how he's able to put them together on the basketball court. 1945 01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:31,479 Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that, because I think there's got 1946 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 2: to be some kids somewhere say, look, I want to 1947 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,360 Speaker 2: go to school X. They have not a winning season 1948 01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:38,599 Speaker 2: in ten years. I think I could turn them around 1949 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 2: to help them. However, I think the problem being is 1950 01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,040 Speaker 2: that these kids who are recruited are so used to 1951 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 2: winning they couldn't handle losing. You know, you're recruiting a 1952 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 2: five star blue chipper who's probably never lost or had 1953 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,719 Speaker 2: a losing season in his high school career. Why would 1954 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,320 Speaker 2: he go to a school that hadn't had a winning 1955 01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,600 Speaker 2: season in five, six, ten years. That's the problem. But 1956 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 2: I think that everybody would love to have that ego 1957 01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:05,320 Speaker 2: and have their legacy on their name that hey, they 1958 01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 2: didn't win until I got there. But I don't think 1959 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,639 Speaker 2: kids will do that because they don't know how to lose. 1960 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:12,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you know how to win, but you don't 1961 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:14,720 Speaker 2: know how to lose. I think it's important also to 1962 01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:16,600 Speaker 2: learn how to lose, and as a coach, you know that. 1963 01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,599 Speaker 2: I think it's important to learn how to lose. 1964 01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very important to learn how to lose because 1965 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,680 Speaker 1: there are lessons in those losses that can help you win. 1966 01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,840 Speaker 1: You can learn in a win, but a loss wakes 1967 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:34,240 Speaker 1: you up. It increases the urgency and practice next week. 1968 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:39,400 Speaker 1: It requires more guys to focus and lock in, especially 1969 01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 1: if you're a team and a program that's used to 1970 01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: winning way back in the day. Yeah, you got to 1971 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:44,599 Speaker 1: lock in, you got to focus, you got to ride 1972 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:46,760 Speaker 1: it out through the rough patches, and then when you 1973 01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 1: start to win, you got to continue to raise the bar, 1974 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,920 Speaker 1: raise the standard, raise the expectations for your team. That's 1975 01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 1: why it's such a big deal when you get it going, 1976 01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 1: you get it established, and why you want to continue 1977 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 1: to elevate those around you because you know expectations rise 1978 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: as you began to realize some of those championship dreams. Yeah. 1979 01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:11,080 Speaker 2: I mentioned this coming into this segment that there's only 1980 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,760 Speaker 2: one word for this, and it's ugly. Ugly, And I 1981 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,760 Speaker 2: talked about sports bring out the best and the worst 1982 01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:18,760 Speaker 2: in many and we seemed storming the basketball court after 1983 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 2: a win, we saw a fan beating the New England 1984 01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 2: of a Patriots game, and that guy later passed, even 1985 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,600 Speaker 2: players and coaches getting it ugly at some games, but 1986 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:29,400 Speaker 2: this was the worst and it happened earlier this week. 1987 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,960 Speaker 2: The racial incidents as the Utah women's basketball team, they 1988 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,599 Speaker 2: experienced that while traveling to the NCAA tournament earlier last week, 1989 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 2: and there were incidents occurred surely after the traveling party 1990 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:43,799 Speaker 2: arrived in the area to participate in the NCAA Women's 1991 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:46,679 Speaker 2: basketball tournaments first and second rounds and they were hosted 1992 01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:50,759 Speaker 2: by Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, and there were two separate, 1993 01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:55,519 Speaker 2: very disturbing encounters. First, the traveling party was walking to 1994 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,639 Speaker 2: a restaurant for dinner in the vicinity of their hotel. 1995 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,960 Speaker 2: A card rove by and the people shouted racial advitats 1996 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 2: to the group. Second, on the walk back to the hotel, 1997 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 2: a car slowly passed the group. They rend the engine 1998 01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,680 Speaker 2: with the car the kids and people in the car 1999 01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:17,720 Speaker 2: shouting racially disparaging words and threats. A police report was 2000 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,840 Speaker 2: filed later. I think it was a Thursday night with 2001 01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,799 Speaker 2: the City of Cure, the Aleen the Police Department in Idaho, 2002 01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 2: and they continue to work on it, and I think 2003 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,040 Speaker 2: it's ugly and when I hear stories like this, they're 2004 01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:32,360 Speaker 2: here in the back of my back stands up straight. 2005 01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:37,640 Speaker 2: To realize that you have people so small minded in 2006 01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:40,640 Speaker 2: this country of ours during a sporting event, to do 2007 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:43,880 Speaker 2: this to young women, no less, who just happened to 2008 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 2: have maybe a different color or belief or religion or 2009 01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 2: wherever it may be. It's just it's disgusting. I don't 2010 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 2: even like talking about it, but I think we have 2011 01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:56,760 Speaker 2: to bring it to life because it happened, and it 2012 01:35:56,880 --> 01:35:58,960 Speaker 2: was just a bad thing. It really was. 2013 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a bad thing. It's not great, you know, 2014 01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:07,280 Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that you never want 2015 01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:12,439 Speaker 1: that stuff to happen, you know, Quarterlane, Idaho up there, like, 2016 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:17,719 Speaker 1: there been talks about like that being a very touchy place, 2017 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,439 Speaker 1: particularly for minorities when it comes to visiting and being 2018 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,559 Speaker 1: up there or whatever. So it's unfortunate that the team 2019 01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:27,439 Speaker 1: was subject to those, you know, those things and looks 2020 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,599 Speaker 1: it weird a weird time where we're having like these 2021 01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,600 Speaker 1: conversations and look, sports mimics life, like it imitates the 2022 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,400 Speaker 1: art of life, and so the things that you deal 2023 01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,160 Speaker 1: with out in the public sector away from the arena, 2024 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,400 Speaker 1: you also sometimes have to deal with in the arena 2025 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 1: and on the court, and so it's unfortunate that they 2026 01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:47,439 Speaker 1: had to deal with that. Hopefully we can get past it, 2027 01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 1: and hopefully there's a lesson to be learned for everyone 2028 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:51,880 Speaker 1: as we continue to discuss these things. 2029 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,479 Speaker 2: You're exactly right. I think comments will be welcome on 2030 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 2: Twitter at Bucky Brooks, at anything from an FSL.

North Carolina Central coach 2043 01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:40,080 Speaker 2: Lavelle Moten and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. They've partnered 2044 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:43,719 Speaker 2: up to launch an initiative to help young minority men's 2045 01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:48,240 Speaker 2: and women's basketball coaches gain opportunities to advance their careers. 2046 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:50,800 Speaker 2: This is wonderful, it really is. It's called the Next 2047 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 2: Up Conference and aims to identify black minority coaches who 2048 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,800 Speaker 2: could benefit from relationships with decision makers and executives of 2049 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,880 Speaker 2: course the collegiate landscape. And it's going to be held 2050 01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 2: May thirty and thirty one in Raleigh, North Carolina. Why 2051 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 2: is this a good move? Look? Two years ago, eighty 2052 01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,680 Speaker 2: two percent of all men's and women's basketball coaches at 2053 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:17,799 Speaker 2: the D one level were white, according to the Institute 2054 01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:20,560 Speaker 2: for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of 2055 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,240 Speaker 2: Central Florida. This is a nine year old report. And 2056 01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,760 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not here to say white, black, 2057 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:29,000 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But when you have maybe seventy 2058 01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:33,360 Speaker 2: five percent of the participants black, you know it doesn't 2059 01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,560 Speaker 2: make much sense to have eighty two percent of the 2060 01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,600 Speaker 2: coaching staffs white. Do you agree with me on that? 2061 01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:40,759 Speaker 2: I mean, you want to have people who could relate 2062 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,040 Speaker 2: with one another perhaps a little bit better. 2063 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:43,240 Speaker 3: Now. 2064 01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:46,559 Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of black associate and assistant coaches, 2065 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,680 Speaker 2: but let's even up to score a little bit. Could 2066 01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:51,840 Speaker 2: we balance the scales? A little bit. Do you agree 2067 01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:52,639 Speaker 2: with me on that book? 2068 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,000 Speaker 1: So I didn't even know that you're going to bring 2069 01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:00,760 Speaker 1: this up. But for disclosure, Lavelle Moten and I grew 2070 01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 1: up together, Lamiel Laville and the Boys and Girls Club 2071 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 1: in Raleigh. Lavell and his older brother, Laverne grew up 2072 01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:11,600 Speaker 1: with my brother, my younger brother, Kevin, and so to 2073 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,439 Speaker 1: hear that Lavell is doing this like, it's terrific. Leavell 2074 01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 1: has been a great coach at n C Central for 2075 01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 1: a long time. He's a great player there. He's been 2076 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,920 Speaker 1: a great coach there. He's been very active in helping 2077 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,080 Speaker 1: his student athletes understand opportunities at the next level. Having 2078 01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 1: coached at an HBCU, he understands like the weight that 2079 01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:34,519 Speaker 1: it carries to have representation in those leadership positions. Mike 2080 01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,800 Speaker 1: Tomlin obviously has a tremendous amount of success in the 2081 01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:41,000 Speaker 1: National Football League as a head coach. He's probably gonna 2082 01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,200 Speaker 1: go down as one of the greatest to do it 2083 01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,280 Speaker 1: when you think about his record and those things for 2084 01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:47,960 Speaker 1: those guys to collab up and to show young minority 2085 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:53,439 Speaker 1: coaches a pathways to success, pathways to those seats that 2086 01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:55,920 Speaker 1: they all desire to be in the front of the rooms. 2087 01:39:56,200 --> 01:40:00,519 Speaker 1: It's a terrific deal. And so I do believe in 2088 01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,160 Speaker 1: Like we're at a time where people are talking about 2089 01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:07,160 Speaker 1: DI and d EI and all of these initiatives and 2090 01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,479 Speaker 1: those things and wipe it those opportunities away, it is 2091 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 1: still as important that you have leaders within the communities 2092 01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 1: show and demonstrate leadership and effectiveness and provide networking opportunities 2093 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:25,519 Speaker 1: and teach the next generation how to succeed and maybe 2094 01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:27,559 Speaker 1: to get to the seats that they've been blessed to meet. 2095 01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:32,840 Speaker 2: I don't care how many tournaments, games won, championships, Laville 2096 01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:35,599 Speaker 2: Mowten has ever won an NC Central I don't care. 2097 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:38,479 Speaker 2: The fact is that his legacy will re remembered to 2098 01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:42,080 Speaker 2: helping those that want to gain into the profession down 2099 01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 2: the road. That's his legacy, which to me is more 2100 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 2: important than any trophy you could ever bring home. Now, 2101 01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,200 Speaker 2: how long guess you known? But how long has he 2102 01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 2: been coaching in North Carolina Central? 2103 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 1: For a long time. I mean he's been there for 2104 01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,080 Speaker 1: a long time. His teams has won, He's led him 2105 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:59,519 Speaker 1: to the tournament, they've won their conference. He's just really 2106 01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,200 Speaker 1: a like a like a great coach, like I can 2107 01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:03,960 Speaker 1: only tell you, man, he was a great player as 2108 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:05,640 Speaker 1: a high school player. He played against my brother in 2109 01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:08,680 Speaker 1: high school at in thew High School in Raleigh. But 2110 01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:14,400 Speaker 1: it is fantastic that he is taking upon himself to 2111 01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:17,160 Speaker 1: team up with Mike Tomlin to kind of put this together. 2112 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:19,880 Speaker 1: It's a really really it's great interesting thing and how 2113 01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:23,280 Speaker 1: they've kind of linked up to do it. But I 2114 01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:26,880 Speaker 1: guess they've known each other for over a decade. Lavelle 2115 01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,360 Speaker 1: is a Steelers fan and would always go to training 2116 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:31,920 Speaker 1: camp and then they just kind of put it together. 2117 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,479 Speaker 1: So this is Look, it's great that it's kind of 2118 01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:36,280 Speaker 1: working out that way. 2119 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:38,479 Speaker 2: You know, it's great. But I'm a little upset that 2120 01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:41,599 Speaker 2: there's not more coaches involved with the program. I guess 2121 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,560 Speaker 2: they will join down the road, but I like to 2122 01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:46,560 Speaker 2: see and read more names involved in this. Now. I 2123 01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,080 Speaker 2: may be mistaken here, but the late great number twenty 2124 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,960 Speaker 2: four from the Boston Celtics, Sam Jones, played for North 2125 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,400 Speaker 2: Carolina Central. I wonder if he was coached by Levelle mowten. 2126 01:41:57,240 --> 01:41:58,639 Speaker 1: No, Laville is a younger guy. 2127 01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,439 Speaker 2: He was not coached, but you do remember Sam Jones. 2128 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:04,880 Speaker 1: I do remember Sam Jones and Laville definitely was not 2129 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:07,800 Speaker 1: coaching here. Val is younger than me and so that 2130 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:09,040 Speaker 1: would not be possible. 2131 01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,400 Speaker 2: Sam Jones were the great bank shot artists of the NBA. 2132 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,840 Speaker 2: Was always off the glass and good with Sam Jones 2133 01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 2: number twenty four who played in the backcourt with number 2134 01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,479 Speaker 2: twenty five KC. Jones and both have passed. And those 2135 01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 2: guys were great players. I remember watching them growing up. 2136 01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 2: But we continue, Okay, let's get some more coaches involved 2137 01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 2: with that situation with Mike Tom and what a great thing. 2138 01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:31,640 Speaker 2: And you know what that and to me, hasn't been 2139 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,679 Speaker 2: publicized as much as should be publicized. Don't you agree? 2140 01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:38,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Like I'm just hearing of it. So 2141 01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,360 Speaker 1: now is fantastic you brought it up. But now those 2142 01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,719 Speaker 1: things should be publicized. You want more involvement, more activist 2143 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,040 Speaker 1: and more people involved to uplift the other generation, the 2144 01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:49,640 Speaker 1: next generation of coaches that are coming up. So it's great, no. 2145 01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:52,240 Speaker 2: Doubt about that. All right, He's Bucket Brooks and Andy Furman. 2146 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox Sporth's ready.

That's next for 2156 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,240 Speaker 2: first Kevin Wyatt with all your sports. 2157 01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, Elite eight action in March Madness Saturday had two 2158 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:33,040 Speaker 5: teams punched their tickets to the final four, Ukon winning 2159 01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,160 Speaker 5: in an absolutely dominating fashion against Illinois seventy seven to 2160 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,280 Speaker 5: fifty two. Is the Huskies at one point, we're on 2161 01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:43,320 Speaker 5: a thirty to nothing run Alabama race a thirteen point deficit, 2162 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:45,760 Speaker 5: they'd be Clemson eighty nine eighty two out in Los 2163 01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,439 Speaker 5: Angeles to win the West Region. And today we have 2164 01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 5: two more games coming up in the Elite Eight at 2165 01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,559 Speaker 5: two twenty Eastern time in the Midwest Region in Detroit, 2166 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 5: top seeded Perdue second seed in Tennessee. Then at five 2167 01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:01,880 Speaker 5: o'clock it'll be four seeded Duke eleventh seed at NC State. Now, 2168 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,920 Speaker 5: keep in mind the wolf Pack just to get into 2169 01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,960 Speaker 5: the Big Dance had to win five straight games in 2170 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,400 Speaker 5: the ACC Tournament. They now have won three March Madness games, 2171 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,960 Speaker 5: so they're on an eight game postseason winning streak right now. 2172 01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:15,439 Speaker 5: The wolf Pack playing incredibly well, but they're going against 2173 01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 5: one of the biggest Blue bud programs that are out there, 2174 01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 5: the Duke Blue Devils. In the professional ranks, the Celtics 2175 01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,120 Speaker 5: and NBA best fifty eight and sixteen. They win at 2176 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,479 Speaker 5: New Orleans one to four ninety two, The Magic dominate 2177 01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,320 Speaker 5: the Memphis Grizzlies one eighteen eighty eight, and the Milwaukee 2178 01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:32,200 Speaker 5: Bucks winners at Atlanta won twenty two to one thirteen. 2179 01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,559 Speaker 5: Major League Baseball Cardinals over the Dodgers in ten inning 2180 01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,400 Speaker 5: six ' five as Joe Kelly had a rough inning 2181 01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,559 Speaker 5: in the seventh as he gave up five runs. Dodgers 2182 01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:42,200 Speaker 5: actually were able to come back and tie it up 2183 01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:44,160 Speaker 5: in the ninth on a Mookie Bets home run in 2184 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,240 Speaker 5: a Max Muntzy's single, but the Cardinals would take the 2185 01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:49,720 Speaker 5: lead in the tenth and the Dodgers would leave the 2186 01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:52,160 Speaker 5: bases loaded in the tenth inning and not able to 2187 01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:55,400 Speaker 5: get a run across. Seattle beats Boston for to three 2188 01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:58,679 Speaker 5: in ten innings. They scored three times including the game 2189 01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:03,560 Speaker 5: winning RBI hit by Julio Rodriguez yankees I five to 2190 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:05,479 Speaker 5: three win at Houston. They had to come from behind, 2191 01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:09,519 Speaker 5: and the new UFL started on Saturday as Birmingham opened 2192 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,880 Speaker 5: the new season with a twenty seven to fourteen win 2193 01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:15,679 Speaker 5: at Arlington and Michigan eighteen sixty winners against the Saint 2194 01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,559 Speaker 5: Louis BattleHawks on a sixty four yard field goal they 2195 01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:19,120 Speaker 5: got the win. 2196 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:21,559 Speaker 2: That's you guys, all right, keV have a great day, 2197 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:23,160 Speaker 2: Thanks for all your health, thanks for all you do, 2198 01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 2: and say goodbye. That's coming right up. He's Bucky Brooks. 2199 01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,479 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Fermerwee of Fox Sports Sunny of Fox Sports Radio. 2200 01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:32,439 Speaker 2: The blame game coming up about eight nine minutes from now, 2201 01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,040 Speaker 2: and of course we are here at the tai iraq 2202 01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:38,320 Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Now, let's get into this for a 2203 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,760 Speaker 2: second because we've got a little story about Draymond Green. 2204 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:43,639 Speaker 2: He's in the news. Every time he's in the news. 2205 01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 2: It really is kind of controversial. It's nothing really super, 2206 01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,120 Speaker 2: although he's a great player and it'll probably be in 2207 01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,920 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. But Thursday night against the Warriors 2208 01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:55,240 Speaker 2: Orlando game, and the Warriors were in the first quarter 2209 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,240 Speaker 2: through he was thrown out. Like about eight minutes left 2210 01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:00,759 Speaker 2: in the first quarter, Draymond Green was thrown out again, 2211 01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 2: his fourth ejection of the year. Now, I got to ask, 2212 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:05,800 Speaker 2: you played the game. I get it. 2213 01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:06,439 Speaker 1: I get it. 2214 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,479 Speaker 2: People get emotional, they get crazy, they're not happy with calls, 2215 01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:13,040 Speaker 2: with officials calls. I understand that. But is it emotion 2216 01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:15,600 Speaker 2: or does he have a problem. That's the question I have. 2217 01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,200 Speaker 2: He's the first player to be ejected at least four 2218 01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:21,599 Speaker 2: times in a season since Kevin Durant was ejected four 2219 01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:24,960 Speaker 2: times in twenty seven to twenty eighteen. I don't understand 2220 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,439 Speaker 2: the problem with Draymond Green. I enjoy watching him play. 2221 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,360 Speaker 2: I like his emotion. I like the fact that he's 2222 01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:33,200 Speaker 2: there to play every game. It gives a one hundrede 2223 01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:35,760 Speaker 2: hundred and ten percent. As they say, but you got 2224 01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:37,679 Speaker 2: to control the emotions. They're really. 2225 01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to control the emotions. And I would say, look, 2226 01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:45,519 Speaker 1: there's an issue. And the reason there's an issue because 2227 01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:49,479 Speaker 1: this repeatedly comes up and Draymond Green has played in 2228 01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,559 Speaker 1: the league for too long to be involved in these 2229 01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,400 Speaker 1: kinds of issues. And if he is unable to control 2230 01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:58,560 Speaker 1: his emotions in those things, it's problematic, particularly for a 2231 01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:01,440 Speaker 1: team that is struggling. He has to have enough awareness 2232 01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 1: to understand game situation and circumstance and when you can 2233 01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 1: put yourself in a compromising position and when you can't. 2234 01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,240 Speaker 1: And what he did the other night was unacceptable. He 2235 01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,519 Speaker 1: left his teammates, his quote unquote brothers out to dry. 2236 01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:18,400 Speaker 1: And that's a very selfish act. And he can't do that. 2237 01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,000 Speaker 1: He knows better. He's done it before in the past. 2238 01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,160 Speaker 1: And at some point, as an organization man, you grow 2239 01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:25,839 Speaker 1: tired of that. You know, it becomes a bigger distraction, 2240 01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,640 Speaker 1: it becomes detrimental to the squad. And I don't know 2241 01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:33,360 Speaker 1: how long they can continue to I guess kind of 2242 01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,320 Speaker 1: be okay with it, you know, because look, it's two 2243 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:38,599 Speaker 1: things you're doing, either coaching or you're allowing to happen. 2244 01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,360 Speaker 1: And so they've allowed it to happen for a long time. 2245 01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:44,560 Speaker 1: At some point, Steve Kerr, the organization, they got to 2246 01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:46,559 Speaker 1: sit together and figure out, Draymond, what are we doing. 2247 01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:48,640 Speaker 1: We can't continue to do this, or they have to 2248 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:49,400 Speaker 1: part ways. 2249 01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:51,759 Speaker 2: In the league as well. And let's see it directly 2250 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:53,799 Speaker 2: from Draymond Drean, what do you got to say for yourself. 2251 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,479 Speaker 7: I said what I said, I deserve to get kicked 2252 01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 7: out at that point, and what I said from a 2253 01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,000 Speaker 7: while away, honest with Charlotte kind of trying to turn 2254 01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:02,960 Speaker 7: my body and angle and go to the bench, and 2255 01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 7: I said what I said, like a little too soon 2256 01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:09,439 Speaker 7: before angling my body to the bench. But yeah, it 2257 01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:14,000 Speaker 7: just can't happen. And you know that, like we need 2258 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:18,640 Speaker 7: to win games. So like I said, not going to overreact, 2259 01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 7: like ah man like, stuff is never as good as 2260 01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,240 Speaker 7: it seems, is never as bad as it seems. Like 2261 01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:27,880 Speaker 7: I know where I am, I understand what I'm doing 2262 01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,639 Speaker 7: moving for and in my position. 2263 01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:35,559 Speaker 1: Just make sure that that's the exception and not the rule. 2264 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 2: No, wait a minute, it is the rule. And Drayman, 2265 01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 2: if it was the first time, I believe you. But 2266 01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:44,960 Speaker 2: it was your nineteenth career regular season ejection, the second 2267 01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,240 Speaker 2: most in NBA history, and you might need some help. 2268 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 2: Let's take a listen. Maybe the coach, Steve car himself, 2269 01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,360 Speaker 2: has something to say about that, because you're the guy 2270 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:56,719 Speaker 2: that's supposed to coach him, and maybe calm him down. Coach, 2271 01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:58,720 Speaker 2: what do you got to say, too bad? 2272 01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,400 Speaker 1: It was unfortunate, he deserved it. 2273 01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:07,439 Speaker 2: And you know, he'll he'll bounce back amazing. 2274 01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. 2275 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,519 Speaker 2: I mean, teammates got to come up to this guy 2276 01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:14,680 Speaker 2: and say, look, you're not only hurting yourself, you're hurting us. 2277 01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:17,000 Speaker 2: We need you on the court, and for you to 2278 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,280 Speaker 2: get ejected than the eight minute mark in the first 2279 01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,400 Speaker 2: quarter doesn't do anybody any good. And the NBA has 2280 01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:24,680 Speaker 2: got to step in. They got to do something. I mean, 2281 01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,639 Speaker 2: it's not just a Golden State Warrior situation. I think 2282 01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:28,920 Speaker 2: it's an NBA situation. 2283 01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, the NBA can step in for 2284 01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:34,839 Speaker 1: those things. But it wasn't a fight. It was an ejection, 2285 01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, like that's not warm where the league steps 2286 01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,560 Speaker 1: in and it's like, hey, Dremond this and that this 2287 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:41,360 Speaker 1: is more of a team thing. This is more of 2288 01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:44,760 Speaker 1: a Steve Kerk Golden State Warrior. We need to sit 2289 01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:47,120 Speaker 1: down with our star player and talk to him because 2290 01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:49,760 Speaker 1: he's costing the team and we're in a situation where 2291 01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:51,880 Speaker 1: we can't give away games. So they gave away game 2292 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:56,280 Speaker 1: because Draymond Green was not available to play. No, I mean, 2293 01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:58,280 Speaker 1: just look around. He has to be able to read 2294 01:49:58,320 --> 01:49:59,680 Speaker 1: the room. He has to know that he can't get 2295 01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:02,320 Speaker 1: involved and that stuff, and you can only tell the 2296 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:04,280 Speaker 1: players so many times before you have to show them 2297 01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:07,719 Speaker 1: why it's not acceptable by even cutting him or moving 2298 01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:09,880 Speaker 1: on from him via trade or some other vehicle. 2299 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,160 Speaker 2: You agree, he's a Hall of Famer when he retires, though, don't. 2300 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:15,639 Speaker 1: You think he's gonna be a Hall of Famer because 2301 01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,439 Speaker 1: of the collective? You know, because of the group, because 2302 01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 1: they've been one of the more dominant teams of this era. 2303 01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,200 Speaker 1: He would go in and it's the Big Three. But 2304 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,960 Speaker 1: this does tarnish it. It does make it harder when 2305 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,040 Speaker 1: you have the conversation in the room about who should 2306 01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:30,120 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer or not. It's easy to 2307 01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:33,960 Speaker 1: say that that Steph is in, but then how do 2308 01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,360 Speaker 1: you put Clay and Draymond and how do you rank 2309 01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:39,960 Speaker 1: them when it comes to you know where they go? 2310 01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:42,920 Speaker 1: And that stuff like this will play a put a 2311 01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,559 Speaker 1: black mark a little bit on his candidcy because it's 2312 01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,280 Speaker 1: just been so much. You talked about nineteen ejections, second 2313 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:50,800 Speaker 1: most in league history. I mean, that's a lot of ejections. 2314 01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:55,360 Speaker 1: That's a lot of selfish decisions and behaviors that it 2315 01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,479 Speaker 1: probably cost your team games. Yeah, it's not a good 2316 01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,400 Speaker 1: look he's going into Hall of Fame, but certainly doesn't 2317 01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:03,120 Speaker 1: help his Tennessey. 2318 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,960 Speaker 2: Well, the good news is, I mean that he will 2319 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:07,680 Speaker 2: be a Hall of Famer. And the better news is 2320 01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 2: that if you live in the San Francisco Golden State area, 2321 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 2: you have a team, But if you live in Oakland, 2322 01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,479 Speaker 2: you don't have a team. Because thousands of athletics fans 2323 01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:19,639 Speaker 2: gathered in the Coliseum South parking lot before Thursday night's 2324 01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,439 Speaker 2: opening game against the Cleveland Guardians to try out a 2325 01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 2: new way of displaying their displeasure with the team's ownership 2326 01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,960 Speaker 2: showing up but staying away at the beginning of the 2327 01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,719 Speaker 2: team's final year. Perhaps in Oakland, fans were waiving hundreds 2328 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:38,479 Speaker 2: of sell flags. They ate free tacos, and they listened 2329 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:41,680 Speaker 2: to live music. Look, they probably had more fans and 2330 01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:44,559 Speaker 2: they announced the crowd in the parking lot for thirteen 2331 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:47,160 Speaker 2: thousand plus. They had more fans in the parking lot 2332 01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,120 Speaker 2: that that teams drawn in the stadium over the last 2333 01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:52,360 Speaker 2: four or five six years. All Right, And I get it. 2334 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:53,160 Speaker 1: It's not totally the. 2335 01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:55,840 Speaker 2: Fans fall, and maybe it's not totally the ownership full 2336 01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:58,200 Speaker 2: because the city of Oakland will not put any repairs 2337 01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,120 Speaker 2: in that dump of a coliseum, and it is a dump. 2338 01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,120 Speaker 2: The sewers are backing up in the locker rooms and 2339 01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,519 Speaker 2: things like that. But I think it's a destiny right 2340 01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,920 Speaker 2: now that the Oakland A's will be leaving and they'll 2341 01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 2: be going to Las Vegas next year. And I think 2342 01:52:09,960 --> 01:52:13,240 Speaker 2: it's great for baseball because obviously that city can support 2343 01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:14,439 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. 2344 01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:20,680 Speaker 1: Yes, Unfortunately, like having spent time in Oakland, you know, 2345 01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,559 Speaker 1: three years they're living there, going to A's games, taking 2346 01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:25,960 Speaker 1: the bar train to go to the games, and understanding 2347 01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:30,639 Speaker 1: how much the A's mean to the city. I can't 2348 01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:35,439 Speaker 1: tell you how much pride the Oakland natives took in, 2349 01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:38,320 Speaker 1: you know, their A's, the athletics, and how big of 2350 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:39,640 Speaker 1: a deal it is. And for them to go to 2351 01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:41,679 Speaker 1: Vegas and not be a part of the community anymore, 2352 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:45,599 Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. They should be upset. They should be upset 2353 01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:49,040 Speaker 1: at not only then being removed, but how ownership has 2354 01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:51,880 Speaker 1: treated the team the last few years, not spending money, 2355 01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:55,840 Speaker 1: not helping them put the best possible team together. I mean, 2356 01:52:55,880 --> 01:53:01,240 Speaker 1: it's a very selfish act and ownership for them. I mean, look, 2357 01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,400 Speaker 1: they should be criticized, They should be called a task. 2358 01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:07,200 Speaker 2: I'm with you right there, and it's a shame. I mean, 2359 01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,719 Speaker 2: this team started out if you look at the history 2360 01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,960 Speaker 2: books way back when in Philadelphia as the athletics. They 2361 01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:15,400 Speaker 2: moved to Kansas City as athletics. Now they go to 2362 01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:17,639 Speaker 2: Oakland and they're going to go back to Maybe they're 2363 01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:20,200 Speaker 2: coming back east. They're going from Oakland to Vegas. Maybe 2364 01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,280 Speaker 2: we're going to go back eventually Kansas City and then 2365 01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:25,880 Speaker 2: Philadelphia again. Who knows. I don't know, but I feel 2366 01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,240 Speaker 2: for the fans. You know, it's a big loss for 2367 01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:31,639 Speaker 2: the team leaves the city. Economically, it's a big loss, 2368 01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:35,160 Speaker 2: you know, tourism, restaurants, hotels, whatever it may be. But 2369 01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:38,679 Speaker 2: bye by A's they're out of there. This year their 2370 01:53:38,760 --> 01:53:41,800 Speaker 2: last year, all right. Just like in basketball, the successful 2371 01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:45,120 Speaker 2: game plan starts with the right players the team attractor 2372 01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:48,639 Speaker 2: supply brings hustle and heart, and that's what really sets 2373 01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:51,320 Speaker 2: them apart. So lace up your sneakers and make the 2374 01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:55,160 Speaker 2: winning play by heading to your local tractor supply store today. 2375 01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:59,559 Speaker 2: Bucky brooks Andy Furman, the game you wish you could play, 2376 01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:04,559 Speaker 2: The blame game.

No, it's your fault. 2390 01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:38,160 Speaker 1: What is all your fault? 2391 01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,960 Speaker 2: Maybe it's everyone's fault. Who knows the liar? 2392 01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:47,440 Speaker 3: That's why here's the blame game, the blame game. 2393 01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:49,080 Speaker 2: Let's figure out who to blame? 2394 01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:53,560 Speaker 6: All right, the blame game. So we're just gonna jump 2395 01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:56,000 Speaker 6: right into it today. The first question we got for 2396 01:54:56,080 --> 01:55:01,240 Speaker 6: you guys, U NC basketball star Armando Bacon admitted he's 2397 01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:05,120 Speaker 6: gotten messages from angry betters in recent weeks. Who do 2398 01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:05,920 Speaker 6: you blame, Bucky? 2399 01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 1: Uh, Look, I just blame society. In general, I think 2400 01:55:10,400 --> 01:55:14,760 Speaker 1: fans are fanatical about their supposed relationship with these players, 2401 01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:16,440 Speaker 1: the fact that they reach out to them to get 2402 01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:19,920 Speaker 1: upset about fantasy football results. They get upset about gambling results. Hey, 2403 01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,600 Speaker 1: you don't like how it plays out, don't gamble as 2404 01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:23,280 Speaker 1: the fans fault? 2405 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:26,800 Speaker 2: Andy, who's going, Oh, there's just too many opportunities for 2406 01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:28,880 Speaker 2: people to get on their phone and there's so many 2407 01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:31,240 Speaker 2: outlets to wager. That's what they do. But you know what, 2408 01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,960 Speaker 2: i'mando play a little better and maybe they won't be 2409 01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,640 Speaker 2: mad at you. That's all of you. Look, you lost, 2410 01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:38,920 Speaker 2: you and see loss, will play a little better, and 2411 01:55:39,080 --> 01:55:41,160 Speaker 2: you know people have faith in you. You should be 2412 01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:42,040 Speaker 2: happy they. 2413 01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:42,520 Speaker 3: Bet on you. 2414 01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:44,400 Speaker 1: All right? 2415 01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:47,960 Speaker 6: Well, why aren't there any women coaching men's basketball teams? 2416 01:55:48,000 --> 01:55:48,760 Speaker 6: Who do you blame? 2417 01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:49,240 Speaker 1: Andy? 2418 01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:53,400 Speaker 2: You know what, I think the old guard They just 2419 01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:55,360 Speaker 2: won't allow the women to get on the bench with 2420 01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,080 Speaker 2: the men. They don't think it would work out. I 2421 01:55:57,160 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, there are men coaching women and 2422 01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:02,360 Speaker 2: they would rather well in that regard, But you know what, 2423 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:05,320 Speaker 2: women maybe want to just stay with women. I don't know. 2424 01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:07,280 Speaker 2: I think there's got to be a breakthrough. I'm not 2425 01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:09,080 Speaker 2: saying that they can't. I think there's a lot of 2426 01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:12,160 Speaker 2: women who probably could and would be successful coaching men's teams, 2427 01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,360 Speaker 2: but no one has really given them the opportunity to 2428 01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:14,720 Speaker 2: do so. 2429 01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:16,120 Speaker 6: Who do you blame, Bucky? 2430 01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:19,520 Speaker 1: This is a tough one. I would say it's a 2431 01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,120 Speaker 1: little bit of the pipeline and being a forward thinker. 2432 01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:26,160 Speaker 1: I think in basketball in particular, like you don't have 2433 01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:31,000 Speaker 1: these gender roles where guys can't take instruction from female leaders, 2434 01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,800 Speaker 1: so it will work. I think it's about opportunities, creating 2435 01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity, seeing someone who can do it, and giving 2436 01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:39,160 Speaker 1: them a chance to do it without giving them a 2437 01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:42,760 Speaker 1: short timeline. I think a lady like Becky Hammon could 2438 01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:45,520 Speaker 1: do it. Dawn Stay certainly get coached women's basketball. There 2439 01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:47,440 Speaker 1: are people that are available to do it. You just 2440 01:56:47,520 --> 01:56:48,840 Speaker 1: have to be willing to make it happen. 2441 01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:55,400 Speaker 6: Victor Wombinyama had a forty point twenty rebound game against 2442 01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:57,560 Speaker 6: the next the other day, the most by an NBA 2443 01:56:57,720 --> 01:56:59,920 Speaker 6: rookie since Shack Bucky. 2444 01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:05,480 Speaker 1: Who do you blame, look, man, I blame victim for 2445 01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:07,880 Speaker 1: his greatness. He came into the league. He's lived up 2446 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:11,280 Speaker 1: to the hype and the expectation, even though it hasn't 2447 01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 1: really changed the state of the union for San Antonio. 2448 01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:17,400 Speaker 1: He has been terrific. He's been everything that they said 2449 01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:19,000 Speaker 1: that he would be. So I give him the credit 2450 01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: for the work that he's put in. 2451 01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:22,600 Speaker 2: Andy, you know, wait a minute, they won the game, 2452 01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:24,800 Speaker 2: so obviously the I'm not blaming anybody, But what about 2453 01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:27,000 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunton. Didn't they have sixty one in that game? 2454 01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:27,240 Speaker 6: Point? 2455 01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:27,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? 2456 01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:31,360 Speaker 2: You know, so blame the Knicks for not supporting Jalen Brunton. 2457 01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:34,280 Speaker 2: But this kid's going to be a superstar in San Antonio. 2458 01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:36,760 Speaker 2: He really is, and I wouldn't blame anybody. Maybe lack 2459 01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:38,840 Speaker 2: of defense on the Knicks pot, but you know, the 2460 01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:43,680 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson situation was really shadowed by that performance by 2461 01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:46,240 Speaker 2: the big Man in San Antonio. Sixty one points from 2462 01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,680 Speaker 2: the Knicks. That's huge. I don't remember anybody scoring that 2463 01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:50,120 Speaker 2: many points for a Nick game. 2464 01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:54,760 Speaker 6: The NFL says there will be much more streaming options 2465 01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:57,360 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four in terms of there being exclusive 2466 01:57:57,440 --> 01:58:00,480 Speaker 6: games for Peacock. Remember that was a a big controversy 2467 01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:02,680 Speaker 6: this past year. Andy, who do you blame? 2468 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:07,320 Speaker 2: I blame money, That's what it's all about revenue streaming, 2469 01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:10,560 Speaker 2: and the commissioner of the National Football That, Roger Goodell, 2470 01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:12,880 Speaker 2: comes out and says, we want to put a footprint 2471 01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:16,560 Speaker 2: on various places. On September, the sixth Friday night of 2472 01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:18,879 Speaker 2: this year, there's going to be a game in Brazil 2473 01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:21,200 Speaker 2: on TV. I think it's going to be the Eagles 2474 01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:24,040 Speaker 2: playing someone haven't announced it yet, and that game will 2475 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:26,560 Speaker 2: be streamed and everybody's going to be trying to watch it. 2476 01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:29,840 Speaker 2: But remember one thing. They streamed that Dolphins Kansas City 2477 01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:32,520 Speaker 2: game this past season, and that game did not have 2478 01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:34,920 Speaker 2: as many people as the game that was not streamed, 2479 01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:37,120 Speaker 2: the playoff game. So I think that people are going 2480 01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:38,920 Speaker 2: to say, you know what, I've had it. I'm fed up. 2481 01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,640 Speaker 2: I don't need to spend that kind of money on 2482 01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:43,000 Speaker 2: a game. I just believe that the money is killing it. 2483 01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:44,800 Speaker 2: It's killing it. Stop the streaming. 2484 01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:49,440 Speaker 1: No, I actually think is great. More opportunities, more outlets, 2485 01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:52,560 Speaker 1: all those things. I think you can see more days, more, 2486 01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:55,800 Speaker 1: more more more. Like we learned in COVID that people 2487 01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,240 Speaker 1: will watch football on Tuesdays, I think you'll see the 2488 01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,520 Speaker 1: extension of the game free A yeah, I mean, what 2489 01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:03,920 Speaker 1: with the streaming services, ay, man, Like, sometimes you gotta 2490 01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:05,520 Speaker 1: pay for stuff. You pay to watch your movies on 2491 01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:09,120 Speaker 1: Netflix and Hulu and those things. Live events have been 2492 01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:12,360 Speaker 1: the things that we haven't paid for. In some instances, 2493 01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:14,520 Speaker 1: we will pay for mma match, we'll pay for a 2494 01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:17,280 Speaker 1: boxing match. At some point, maybe you have to pay 2495 01:59:17,360 --> 01:59:20,320 Speaker 1: for a little bit of that NFL exclusivity because okay, but. 2496 01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:22,120 Speaker 2: Let me just stay with that for a segments. This 2497 01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:24,840 Speaker 2: is really irking me because I get the movies thing, 2498 01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:29,400 Speaker 2: because when they form HBO or Netflix, whatever it may be, 2499 01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:31,960 Speaker 2: you knew from the get go. You want a movie, 2500 01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:33,240 Speaker 2: you want to do this, you gotta pay for you 2501 01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:35,960 Speaker 2: gotta buy it. Football was always given to us free. 2502 01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:40,120 Speaker 2: The changing factor, that's the problem. They're changing and people 2503 01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:42,280 Speaker 2: don't like change. And I don't want to spend my 2504 01:59:42,520 --> 01:59:44,600 Speaker 2: change to buy football games on TV. 2505 01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,720 Speaker 1: All Right, I guess we can. I guess we can 2506 01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:51,640 Speaker 1: read the paper the next day and you can figure 2507 01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:53,919 Speaker 1: out the results if you don't pay for the streaming services. 2508 01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:57,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're just Look, there's so many options. 2509 01:59:57,320 --> 01:59:59,520 Speaker 1: There's such a big inventory of games that people are 2510 01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:02,040 Speaker 1: comfortable with that I don't see an issue. It's another 2511 02:00:02,120 --> 02:00:03,200 Speaker 1: way for us to watch games. 2512 02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:05,680 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, you're right and there's going to 2513 02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:07,440 Speaker 2: be people doing it, but I may not be one 2514 02:00:07,440 --> 02:00:09,760 Speaker 2: of them. Otherwise, have a great day. This has been 2515 02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:12,440 Speaker 2: a tremendous show. Bucky, love you, see you next week. 2516 02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:15,280 Speaker 2: Say to keep it here on Fox next
